Chapter 4 Forty-three, meet in short arms
Qiao Hu, an outlier from the Northern Church.
This man had never said a word since the first day he came to the Northern Church. But not because he was mute, but because his voice was too bad.
The family he was born into was a tragedy in troubled times.
His father was a scoundrel. It is said that his father was originally a young master of a famous family, but he was swept away because he made a big mistake.
As for the reason, it is regrettable to say.
Qiao Hu's grandfather was middle-aged, but he took a concubine - a sixteen-year-old girl.
As a result, it can be imagined that since the girl entered the door, she has been bullied by everyone, and even her subordinates don't take her seriously. Only Qiao Hu's father has always taken care of her, and often scolds a lot of subordinates for her.
Over time, the two actually had a good impression of each other, and this was the beginning of the tragedy.
The subordinates who were beaten and scolded by him on weekdays took the opportunity to make irresponsible remarks to Qiao Hu's grandfather, and as a result, Qiao Hu's grandfather was furious and almost killed Qiao Hu's father. Thanks to Qiao Hu's grandmother's dissuasion, he was expelled from the house instead.
That night, Qiao Hu's father severed his relationship with the Qiao family. It's just that when he left, he also took the girl with him, Qiao Hu's mother.
Without a wealthy family to rely on, Qiao Hu's parents began a difficult life.
When Qiao Hu's father left home, the family took care of his feelings and gave him some bit of pestering. Qiao Hu's father discussed with his wife and wanted to use the money to make some business.
Qiao Hu's mother certainly agreed. After the two discussed, Qiao Hu's father decided to sell some fruits.
However, he was accustomed to a pampered life, where was the material for doing business, not only did he not make money, but he lost all his family money.
What's worse is that Qiao Hu's mother is pregnant.
As a last resort, Qiao Hu's father had no choice but to start gambling. Perhaps it was God's only favor for him, Qiao Hu's father found that he was slightly talented in gambling. At the end of the day, I won a lot.
However, after all, it was not the money that was obtained on the right way, and Qiao Hu's father was ashamed to speak up, so he only told his wife that he had found an errand for a large family's nursing home.
The innocent wife had no doubts, and just told Qiao Hu's father not to work too hard.
However, it is easy to get into gambling, but it is difficult to quit gambling.
It didn't take long for Qiao Hu's father to gradually get mixed up with some street hooligans.
Although Qiao Hu's mother's belly is getting bigger every day, Qiao Hu's father comes home later and later every day, and sometimes even stays all night. As for the money to support the family, the more they take it, the less they get.
It wasn't until one day that Qiao Hu's father returned home drunk and told the truth in his nonsense. Qiao Hu's mother was completely stupid, and she realized that her husband had fallen to such a point.
After waking up the next day, Qiao Hu's mother decided to ask everything, and Qiao Hu's father didn't want to hide it anymore. So, the first quarrel between husband and wife happened.
The final result was that Qiao Hu's mother threw herself on the bed and cried silently, while Qiao Hu's father was red-faced and slammed the door and left.
In this way, the two lived like strangers for several months.
What changed all this was the birth of Qiao Hu. It was a day that Qiao Hu's mother will never forget—and after a long time, Qiao Hu's father finally showed a smile.
Qiao Hu's mother naively thought that everything would be better from now on, and the birth of her son would change Qiao Hu's father. However, she was wrong, nothing changed, Qiao Hu's father still didn't return all night, and he didn't even go home to take care of his wife.
Another drunkenness, tragedy struck.
That day, Qiao Hu's father lost a lot of gambling, was depressed, and drank so much that he was shaking. When I got home, I saw the young Qiao Hu sleeping soundly on the bed, and suddenly became angry.
The life itself is not rich, and this young son dares to sleep so soundly. Qiao Hu's father didn't say a word, and grabbed Qiao Hu.
Where did a baby understand that, he grinned and cried, and this cry made Qiao Hu's father even more angry.
Qiao Hu's father took advantage of the strength of the wine, reached out and grabbed Qiao Hu's tongue and dragged it out.
At this time, Qiao Hu's mother packed up her clothes and entered the house. She was completely stunned by the sight of her husband carrying his own child, desperately tugging at the child's tongue.
Out of a woman's nature, Qiao Hu's mother bit Qiao Hu's father's forearm.
Then, ignoring Qiao Hu's father's fist, she snatched Qiao Hu away and knocked Qiao Hu's father aside with her body.
Maybe God couldn't bear to see him fall like this again, Qiao Hu's father, who stumbled and fell, happened to hit the corner of the table and died.
Qiao Hu's mother, who was too frightened, didn't take anything, so she fled directly with Qiao Hu in her arms.
After making sure that he was not arrested, Qiao Hu's mother finally took Qiao Hu to a small village near Sizhou to settle down.
As Qiao Hu grew up day by day, his mother was desperate to find that Qiao Hu could no longer speak normally because of the injury to his tongue.
In troubled times, the people have no long-term peace. Only three years later, the peaceful life of the mother and son was broken.
Because Qiao Hu's mother was born beautifully, the ruffian who had fooled around with Qiao Hu's father on weekdays became evil.
One night, Qiao Hu was suddenly awakened by his mother's cry for help. It turned out that those ruffians sneaked into Qiao Hu's house at night......
Qiao Hu's mother's shouts made several gangsters feel guilty, so they covered Qiao Hu's mother's mouth.
didn't want to, in a panic, he lost his sense of proportion and suffocated Qiao Hu's mother to death.
Qiao Hu, who was frightened, didn't dare to shout at all, so he waited for death to come.
However, the heavens seemed to refuse to let go of this poor child, or sympathy for the unfairness of his fate, so that a few night forwards who were out ran into them.
The situation was clear at a glance, several gangsters were about to bury Qiao Hu alive, and Ye Feng, who was passing by, didn't say a word, and directly hacked them to death.
In this way, Qiao Hu ended his life as a commoner and began to follow Liang Qi.
His growth in martial arts made Liang Qi very satisfied, but due to excessive fright, Qiao Hu's spirit has been abnormal. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be sensitive, extremely sensitive.
Therefore, the moment Jin Xu opened the inner door, Qiao Hu's arrow was already off the string.
Unlike Hu Yi's long-range shots, Qiao Hu's accuracy was not good, but the bow he used was extremely powerful, and within ten steps, he could shoot through any body.
Liang had practiced his accuracy, but unfortunately, not every archer in the world had the talent of Huang Zhong.
Eventually, Liang gave up. And his last piece of advice to his apprentice was: if the enemy invades within five steps, stop thinking about drawing your bow and just rush forward.
And now this situation is just right for him to play, because the inner door is not wide, basically every arrow he can shoot through to the fourth enemy before his strength is lost.
"Xu'er!" Chang Ao didn't expect that his apprentice would lose his life like this, and he was both angry and sad.
"Kill!" Although Chu Shang and Jin Xu often disagree, they are apprentices after all. I was also a little annoyed to see him dead.
"Whew!" A semicircular ring of fire suddenly appeared, blocking the inner door completely. Chu Shang fixed his eyes on it, and the night leader of the Northern Hall actually knocked over the illuminating brazier. Come to think of it, I must have spilled something like grease in front of the door in advance.
"Whoosh!" Another arrow was fired.
The southeast night front, who was so smoked that he couldn't open his eyes, didn't react at all, and the three of them were shot at each other.
"Pishuai, please give way!" The night front of the Beast Camp suddenly rushed up, and on their shoulders, they all carried the corpse of a Danyang soldier.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Several corpses tumbled and were thrown out, crushing the raging ring of fire.
The way forward is open! There is no need for Chang Ao to give any more orders, everyone knows what to do.
And Qiao Hu's side, after shooting an arrow, also waved behind him, pulled out a short knife and rushed forward.
The defensive battle of the narrow entrance, without any fortifications, was completely a drain on the number of people.
Due to Qiao Hu's bravery, Chu Shang was unable to attack for a while, and his subordinates were also blocked by the people of the Northern General Hall.
"Get out of the way!" Chang Ao suddenly rushed to the front with a loud shout.
Chu Shang knew the master's habit of making moves, so he immediately flew up and jumped.
Sure enough, Chang Ao's first hammer was aimed at Qiao Hu's legs. Qiao Hu hurriedly jumped up, even if his spirit was a little abnormal, but it did not affect his body's instinctive reaction at all.
According to the convention, this time in the air, Chang Ao will inevitably re-pose his posture or rotate and attack again, and during this time, Qiao Hu will be able to counterattack.
However, what he faced was the arrogance of being completely tortured by drugs beyond ordinary people.
With his thin body, he actually did the same thing as Hu Che'er - the sledgehammer stopped abruptly, then quickly retreated, and then pushed straight again in the direction where Qiao Hu landed.
If you are a normal person, for such a situation, you will definitely fight with your weapon inch by inch, and try your best to avoid danger. But the arrogant opponent is also an abnormal person.
Qiao Hu didn't want to give up the short knife, but used all his strength to lift his right leg up.
The sound of an iron weapon hitting a limb came, and Qiao Hu sacrificed a leg in exchange for a chance to counterattack - Chang Ao was stunned by his actions.
Undoubtedly, his left leg was useless, and there were no bones in it, and it was completely smashed. However, with a distorted face, he actually took out an arrow!
He pushed the tail of the arrow with the palm of his hand, and sent the arrow straight towards Chang Ao's face.
This unprepared blow is enough to make anyone hit. But the difference between a stroke and a stroke is whether it will die because of it.
Pi Shuai Chang Ao, with his amazing reaction speed, turned his head to the side at the last moment.
Although Qiao Hu succeeded, it only hurt Chang Ao by one point - a bloody mark was drawn on the left side of his face. After that, Qiao Hu fell to the ground weakly.
Seeing that his master was injured, Chu Shang became angry and raised his knife to slash at Qiao Hu.
Because of the severe pain, Qiao Hu was already full of gold stars and was powerless to resist.
Just as Chu Shang's knife was about to hit, a large web made of spider silk firmly covered him......
