Chapter 105: Cuiyun Study House (II)
"Hey, little sister, watch out, don't bump into you." Just when Lu Jing was nervously about to knock on Ling Rui's door, she happened to meet Ling Rui opening the door and walking out, and the two almost collided.
"I ...... This is ...... for you" Just as Ling Rui leaned down to ask about Lu Jing's identity, Lu Jing handed the drawing paper in his hand to Ling Rui with a little nervousness.
Ling Rui felt a little uncertain and slowly opened the drawing paper, only to see that on this piece of drawing paper, the outline of a human face was faintly outlined with crooked lines. After careful identification, Ling Rui gradually felt that the contours of this face seemed to be becoming more and more familiar.
"This was left to Jing'er by an uncle named Ling Wanli in the past, and he once promised Jing'er that as long as Jing'er took this piece of drawing paper to find him when she grew up, he would fulfill one of Jing'er's wishes." Lu Jing blinked a pair of big clear and clear eyes, and said to the big brother she had never met in front of her.
Ling Rui stroked the lines on the drawing paper, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings.
"I heard Brother Gao Che say that you are Uncle Ling's son, so can you also help Jing'er fulfill her wish? Jing'er ...... I also want to go to school with everyone. Lu Jing gently shook the corner of Ling Rui's shirt and continued to say to Ling Rui in her immature voice.
"Achieve...... Aspiration...... Is it? Lu Jing's words instantly reminded Ling Rui that when he was about the same age as Lu Jing, he had expressed a wish to Ling Wanli, that is, in the near future, he would become a chivalrous and courageous man like his father Ling Wanli, and was admired and praised by the people in the rivers and lakes.
"A chivalrous person is neither seeking fame and fortune, nor seeking fame through the ages. Stick to your heart, abide by justice, hoe the strong and help the weak, and warm the ancient way, which is the chivalrous way you want to pursue. At this moment, the words that Ling Wanli had left when he sent Ling Rui to the Yunsheng Martial Arts Pavilion rang in his ears again with Ling Rui's chaotic thoughts.
"Daddy, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Ling Rui was so immersed in the grief of losing Ouyang He that he couldn't extricate himself and felt ashamed, and at the same time, he gradually lowered his head in front of Lu Jing in a self-muttering voice, "It's just He'er...... It's too important for children, so please ...... Forgive the child for this waywardness. ”
"A chivalrous and courageous person like Brother Ling must not disappoint this little sister, right?" Gao Che didn't know when he actually came to Ling Rui's door.
Ling Rui wiped the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, and turned to look at Gao Che with the sunny smile he had once had.
"That's nature, how can you let the hard work of the senior brother go to waste?" Ling Rui stroked Lu Jing's forehead, and said loudly to Gao Che after regaining the confidence he once had.
That night, Ling Rui folded the portraits of Ouyang He that he had drawn over the past few days into paper boats, and placed them on the stream flowing behind the house one after another.
"Dad, He'er, don't worry, I'...... I will definitely regain my strength, strive to become a champion of the world, and do my best to live up to the name of the descendants of the "Yunmeng Sword Sect". Ling Rui looked at the small paper boats drifting farther and farther along the stream with mixed feelings. At the same time, the long-lost firm belief in the world also subtly began to take root in his heart for a long time.
The next day, after Ling Rui tried to persuade Lu Qiang using his childhood experience as an example, Lu Qiang finally agreed to let Lu Jing go to school with the other children.
Then, Ling Rui led Lu Jing into the Cuiyun Study, and briefly introduced himself in front of all the children like Chu Birou and the others.
"This Brother Ling Rui is amazing, he only used a few words to get my father to agree to let me come to the school, how is it, amazing?" Lu Jing happily ran up to Ling Rui and described loudly to the other children.
Staring at the energetic children in front of him, Ling Rui's thoughts seemed to return to his childhood in an instant.
(Woooooooo......oo I'm not a bad girl...... )
(Brother Rui is so powerful......... )
(My lychee cake is half of yours, and your courage is also half of mine...... )
"Who could that girl be? Why did it feel so familiar, but it was still difficult to wipe the dust off her face? In a trance, the figure of a girl was once again reflected in Ling Rui's mind. Although until now, Ling Rui could vaguely remember the words the girl had said in front of him, but due to the long period of time, Ling Rui had long since been unable to recall the girl's true appearance and identity.
And just when Ling Rui was still immersed in his memories, the outside of Cuiyun Study House gradually became noisy.
"Hey, who are you? How can you hit a child for no reason! Lu Lingxuan held a little boy who was suddenly restrained in her arms, and angrily asked a group of people of unknown origin opposite.
Chu Birou, Gao Che and Ling Rui also came out of the study house one after another, and as they walked down the stone barrier, Chu Birou recognized at a glance that among the group of people opposite, several of them were the gangsters she had taught to protect Zhong Ping before.
"What do you want to do?" Gao Che asked sharply, and gradually clenched his fists.
"You ...... It doesn't seem to be from this village, right? Could it be like those people, just for a dead man named Jin Yuzun? If that's the case, then it's okay, let's go, we're here to find Zhong Ping. The young man, who was called Xiao Jin Ye by his subordinates, said to Gao Che and the others arrogantly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Zhong is not in the village now, please go back." The village chief, who had rushed to hear the news, hurriedly stopped in front of the children, and at the same time immediately explained to the group of people opposite.
"Oh, what a coincidence, in that case, then I'll get back what belongs to us." After this little golden master gave an order, dozens of subordinates around him suddenly opened their teeth and claws and prepared to rush up the small hill where Cuiyun Bookstore was located, "Brothers, dismantle this kennel for me. ”
However, as a tall figure ran quickly in front of everyone, it only took a few moves to knock the leading few people to the ground, so the other little Jin Ye's subordinates suddenly stayed in place because they were a little scared.
"Master just hasn't looked for someone to practice for a while, which of you will come up again to help me loosen my muscles?" Gao Che rubbed his wrist with a nonchalant expression, and the sound of bones "snapping" was clearly heard in the ears of the group.
At this moment, several martial arts people dressed as disciples of the Iron Tiger Gang jumped down from the rooftops one after another. Immediately afterward, they took the initiative to attack Gao Che without saying a word.
At the same time, Ying Mantang's subordinates continued to rush up the hillside, and Chu Birou, Lu Lingxuan, and Ling Rui also joined the battle one after another after helping the village chief move the children to a safe location in order to defend the Cuiyun Library.
"Damn, why would the Iron Tiger Gang, which prides itself on being a decent martial artist, still help these people." Ling Rui asked with a puzzled expression as he helped Gao Che resist the Iron Tiger Gang disciple's attack with his bare hands.
"Hehe, I'm afraid it's because money can make ghosts grind." Gao Che replied to Ling Rui with a sneer, and the Iron Tiger Gang who were fighting with them seemed to acquiesce to their judgment.
"Give me a hard beating, so that this group of guys who don't know the height of the sky will know that I am powerful." Seeing that the thugs who obeyed him had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, Xiao Jin Ye began to become more and more arrogant.
And just as the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, Zhong Ping suddenly appeared on the scene with staggering steps, and immediately rushed between the two sides to shout to stop the fight.
"Heh, Mr. Zhong, you are finally willing to come out. Looking at the deed you are holding, it seems that you have already figured out how to repay us with a full house, right? Xiao Jin Ye sneered at Zhong Ping triumphantly.
"Yes, as you wish, the ancestral house of our Zhong family belongs to you, and this is the deed." Zhong Ping took the deed in his hand to Xiao Jin Ye and shook it in front of Xiao Jin Ye's eyes, and begged Xiao Jin Ye not to touch the bricks and tiles of Cuiyun Study.
"Hehe, weren't you quite backbone before? As a result, for the sake of a broken library, in the end, we didn't have to be obediently trampled underfoot. The little golden master happily stepped forward to accept the title deed. At this moment, although the village chief tried his best to persuade Zhong Ping to try to think of other ways, Zhong Ping decisively refused.
Subsequently, Xiao Jin Ye proposed to have a one-on-one heads-up with Chu Birou, on the condition that if Chu Birou could defeat him, he would no longer pursue Chu Birou's lesson to his subordinates.
"Wow, Your Excellency is a big man, and you actually want to find a woman to fight alone, and you are not ashamed." Gao Che stopped in front of Chu Birou and said mockingly to Xiao Jin Ye.
"Heh, otherwise, I'll sprinkle more silver taels at will, and let all the people in this village deal with you?" Xiao Jin Ye said with a sneer in a threatening tone.
"Well, if I win, you'll have to talk!" Facing this aggressive opponent, Chu Birou boldly accepted the other party's proposal.
So, in the open space outside the Cuiyun Book House, Chu Birou held a sword that Xiao Jin Ye asked his subordinates to lend her, and the two immediately began a one-on-one competition.
However, the other party said that it was a fair individual contest, but in fact, Chu Birou was constantly attacked and harassed by Ying Mantang's men, such as her arms, legs and feet, which were repeatedly hit by small hidden weapons similar to stones. Therefore, although Chu Birou has an absolute advantage in martial arts, she still maintains a relatively stalemate with Xiao Jin Ye.
However, such a carving insect skill obviously can't escape Gao Che's eyes. After a while, when one of the other party secretly threw a stone again, Gao Che also threw a stone at the right time. Immediately afterwards, when the two stones collided heavily in mid-air, one stone hit Xiao Jin Ye's buttocks straight, and Chu Birou took the opportunity to subdue it under his sword.
"Agreed!" Chu Birou handsomely put the sword away, and then politely returned the sword to the previous saber man.
"A bunch of useless garbage, go!" The angry but bitter little Jin Ye slapped the man who threw the stone, and then led his subordinates to walk away.
"Zhong would like to thank you for your help, Cuiyun Study House has finally been saved." Although everyone was worried that Zhong Ping would feel extremely uncomfortable after losing his ancestral home, Zhong Ping himself took it lightly, after all, in his heart, the future of all the children in Cuiyun Village was more important than everything he had at the moment.
"Mr. Zhong, village chief, if there is anything we can help in Cuiyun Study, we will definitely help!" Ling Rui said categorically after saluting Zhong Ping and the village chief.
"Brother Ling Rui, here's a letter for you." Xia Hou, who had been resting in bed for a long time due to the wind and cold, suddenly found Ling Rui with a letter in a hurry.
After Ling Rui opened the letter with a blank face and read it, a somewhat shocked look suddenly appeared on his face.
"He'er, she will hold a martial arts competition in Jingzhou, the capital of Nanping Kingdom, to recruit relatives." After several other people worriedly asked Ling Rui about the contents of the letter, Ling Rui carefully unfolded the letter and said to the people who were also surprised.
