Chapter Twenty-Six: Ascending the Mountain
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Long Jun was ready to get up for morning exercises, but when he saw that Xu Chu's position was empty, he stepped forward and dialed Ma Chao, Ma Chao was immediately opened by Long Jun, saw that it was Long Jun, covered his mouth and yawned and asked, "What are you doing, Master!" Let me sleep a little longer, that fat guy kept pulling me to chat last night and was annoyed! ”
It turned out that after a battle during the day, the relationship between Xu Chu and Long Jun heated up rapidly, and after eating at Long Jun's place, he chatted with the two for a long time, and then lived in the house with the two, and the three of them stayed in the same room! Originally, there were only two beds in the house, and Long Jun also planned to let Xu Chu sleep on his own, but this guy didn't know how to fall in love with Ma Chao! Ma Chao is a guest again, the guest is as he pleases, and he has no choice but to squeeze Xu Chu for a night.
This overnight horse is extremely miserable, Xu Chu is already big, occupying a large number of beds for Ma Chao to squeeze aside and not to say, but also pulling Ma Chao to chat, regardless of whether Ma Chao is sleepy or not, a meal from Tiannan Haibei bragged to Ma Chao, making Ma Chao yawn and be annoyed to death, and there is no way to get angry, so he can only deal with it!
Ma Chao's appearance, Long Jun was also amused, of course he knew why Xu Chu had to pull Ma Chao, not because Ma Chao choked him when he was eating, he didn't stand or stand when he didn't eat, this little fat man is not a pure honest person, his eyes rolled, and he came up with this trick to retaliate against Ma Chao!
Long Jun knew the little trick between the two, and he couldn't say anything, so he smiled softly, "Come on!" Who made you deliberately hurt people! After a pause, he continued, "Get up quickly! I'll teach you how to repel Zhong Kang from yesterday! ”
As soon as he heard that Long Jun was going to hand over his trick, Ma Chao didn't love the bed anymore, so he quickly jumped up from the bed and said happily, "Really? Master? That's great, see how I teach that fat man a lesson after I learn this trick! Let him plague me! Ma Chao himself is not stupid, after a little thought, he figured out why Xu Chu had to sleep with him yesterday!
Here, Long Jun just wanted to tell Ma Chao that it would take a while to learn this trick, and asked him not to pay attention to Xu Chu first, but he heard Xu Chu in the courtyard shouting, "Brother Shaoyu!" Brother Shaoyu! ”
"Gotcha! Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! ”
"Who is Cao Cao?"
"A guy who runs fast! You'll know in the future! ”
After a while, Xu Chu broke in! Seeing that both of them got up, he smiled and asked, "Why did the two brothers sleep well yesterday!" "Aim at Ma Chao while talking!
Long Jun was afraid that the two would quarrel again, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay!" The Zhongkang brothers bothered! Ma Chao on the side gritted his teeth!
Xu Chu didn't care about Ma Chao's attitude, for him, he was not afraid of Ma Chao in a fight, and Long Jun could make him suffer. After glancing at Ma Chao a few times, he said to Long Junxing: "Brother Shaoyu, there is a good thing!" Today, Zhuangli plans to go up the mountain to hunt tigers! Are you interested in coming along? ”
"Up the hill to hunt tigers? Don't have enough food in the village to go hunting? But that's not supposed to hunt tigers! ”
"It's not because there's not enough food! Two days ago, the livestock of my fourth uncle's family in Zhuang Xitou was taken away by this big worm! It's winter soon, there are fewer beasts on the mountain, and the tiger has eaten a sweet taste this time, and will definitely come again! The people in the village were afraid that the tiger would hurt people, so they planned to hunt it first! ”
"Oh! That's it! Xu Chu understood what he meant as soon as he explained Long Jun a little, when he was in Zhaojia Village before, every winter when some animals on the mountain entered the hibernation period, and the tiger could not find food and would go down the mountain to find some, at this time some livestock or people in the village became the target in the eyes of the tiger, so winter hunting can also be said to be a kind of safety protection!
Before Long Jun finished speaking, Ma Chao refused on the side, "We are not interested in participating, Master will teach me the percussion method yesterday!" How can there be time to hunt any tigers! ”
Speaking of which, looking at the corners of Ma Chao's mouth, he looked at Xu Chu happily and asked, "What's the matter, do you think that my master is strong in martial arts and can help you!" Well? ”
"Of course! I have seen the kung fu of the Shaoyu brothers! Of course I believe him, I'm not sure I'll be able to kill that tiger! Xu Chu didn't adulterate, he admitted it directly, and then said sullenly, "Brother doesn't plan to let me go, so I plan to take Brother Shaoyu with me, and my brother will have nothing to say!" After all, even my brother said that Shaoyu's kung fu is strong! ”
"Oh well! I'll go with you, even with Meng Qi! But before you do, you have to give me back my dagger! I can't fight empty-handed! ”
didn't want Ma Chao to have a conflict with Xu Chu, Long Jun could only agree, and Xu Chu wanted to go so much, Long Jun was embarrassed to refuse! In addition, he wanted to try hunting, and he had never had this opportunity when he was in Zhaojia Village before!
Hearing Long Junying, Ma Chaoke was dumbfounded, and then said, "Master! Aren't you going to teach me martial arts? And at our age, to fight tigers? Are you kidding me? ”
"Don't worry! I'm ready to teach you that, and I'd love to try it too! Long Jun knew that Ma Chao's worries were right, but he could have a good relationship with the fierce general, and he still couldn't help the temptation of hunting! In case something happens to Xu Chu at that time, and he is taking the opportunity to help, the chance of subduing Xu Chu will be greatly increased, although it is a bit immoral to think so, but it will not prevent him from having a sweet dream, right?
Seeing that Long Jun had already agreed to his request, Xu Chu was afraid that he would regret it, so he turned around and ran out to prepare, and hurriedly said as he ran: "Okay, Brother Shaoyu, I'll go prepare something for hunting, and then bring the weapons of the two of you!" ”
"Master, I see that you are quite interested in this fat man, you don't want to take him with you, do you?" Looking at Xu Chu who was leaving, Ma Chao remembered that Long Jun had told him that he was looking for someone before, he thought it was Xu Ding at first, after all, Long Jun was a little respectful to Xu Ding, but after observing this day, he found that his master didn't seem to care about Xu Ding but Xu Chu!
"That's right! That's him! ”
"What? Is it really him? "Ma Chao doesn't understand, what's the use of this fat man who is not very old like them! Then he asked puzzledly, "Master! What's the use of him! I found that whether it was Jia Xu at the beginning or Xu Chu now, I don't feel anything special! ”
"You'll know when it's time to know!" didn't say much, Long Jun went straight to wash up and get dressed! Leave a depressed Ma Chao!
About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Chu brought all the things of the two of them, including the jade pendant of Wei Qi.
The three of them hastily finished breakfast, Xu Chu said hello to Xu Ding, and followed a few hunters up the mountain according to the plan of the village, Xu Ding thought that there were some old hunters with him, and the three of them would not have much problem!
On the way up the mountain, Long Jun planned to take advantage of this time to get to know Xu Chu well, Xu Ding didn't say much during the day, and chatted about some martial arts experiences and some things they saw on the road at night! And about Xu Chu, Long Jun knows very little!
"Zhongkang, can I take the liberty of asking you something!"
"Say it! What's the matter! "Xu Chu is happy all the way!
"The matter of that bandit village!"
Seeing that Long Jun was asking about this, Xu Chu's originally excited face suddenly dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "I think my brother should have told you about my second uncle and aunt!" ”
"Hmmm! I know about this, why didn't you kill each other in the first place? "In this matter, Long Jun felt that there was a loophole, it stands to reason that when he heard Xu Ding talk about that cottage yesterday, according to the ability of the Xu family brothers and the revenge of the Zhuang Zhuang, there should be no problem! But it's been so long, and the bandits haven't been destroyed yet, not to mention, Xujiazhuang actually defended first.
"It's not that I'm not good enough! I've been practicing martial arts since my aunt and uncle died! Although I am not as good as Shaoyu for so many years, if I am against the group of people who kill a thousand knives, I can still easily slaughter them! Just a year ago, I killed a couple of bandits. Speaking of this, Xu Chu's eyes suddenly turned red and he continued with a look of resentment, "But since this year, they have not been out of the village, and in front of the cottage is a path leaning on the cliff, standing at the door of the village, you can see the whole path!" If we want to attack it, we will surely suffer heavy casualties! ”
At this time, Long Jun knew why Xu Chu and they didn't take revenge, but Long Jun didn't plan to uncover their scars, and comforted, "Don't worry, one day they will have retribution!" ”
After walking for a few miles, they heard one of the hunters in front of them say, "Let's go our separate ways!" Gongzi Zhongkang, you follow me! I'm here to lead you! ”
As soon as Long Jun heard this person say this, he knew that Xu Ding must have explained before he came! It is estimated that the three of them will have a good time, and this hunter will lead them to prevent a few people from being in danger! Thinking of this, Long Jun patted Xu Chu's shoulder and said to Orion, "No need for this big brother!" The three of us are here to stay! You'd better go and help those big brothers! ”
Xu Chu and Ma Chao were a little puzzled when they heard Long Jun's words, why didn't they leave because they were originally here to hunt! However, Ma Chao knew that his master had a lot of eyes, so he didn't say much, but Xu Chu hurriedly asked, "Why don't you leave Shaoyu!" We're going to ...."
Before Xu Chu finished speaking, he saw Long Jun glaring at him! Xu Chu frowned, and then as if he had thought of something, he suddenly realized and said, "Oh, oh! By the way, what kind of picnic you told me yesterday was, wasn't it? I know! Let's go to the river over there! ”
Orion saw that Long Jun was not going to move forward, and planned to go to the river for a picnic, and thought in his heart that it was indeed a young man's heart! He smiled and said, "Okay then! Since this little brother has already made arrangements, then I will follow these brothers, and it just so happens that I don't worry about them! ”
"Uh-huh! Trouble big brother brought us here! I won't trouble you! After speaking, Long Jun motioned to Xu Chu to lead him and Ma Chao to the river!
Orion saw that the three of them really didn't plan to hunt, and they were relieved! Then the rest of the group left!
When everyone left, Long Jun and the three returned to their position just now! Xu Chu snorted and said, "Brother, I still don't worry about us, so I actually found someone to watch!" ”
"Come on! Your brother is right to worry about you! How can there be an elder brother who is in danger of his younger brother! Speaking of these, he remembered Longyang, who is still in Jizhou, and has been away from Jizhou for more than half a year, and he doesn't know what this kid looks like!
Ma Chao asked on the side, "Master, are we still going?" ”
"Why not? If we don't come to hunt tigers, what are we doing here, how can this kind of good thing be without us. ”
