Chapter 208: Night Talk

Although, the magistrate of Kong County arranged a single room for Huang Xing. But the three of them still crowded on Xiangzi's small kang, tirelessly, opening the door of words that have been accumulated for more than ten years.

Huang Xing looked at Xiangzi carefully under the dim oil lamp, looked relieved, and muttered: "Juanzi said that you died, I just don't believe it." My apprentice, how can he die so easily? ”

Hearing Juanzi's name, Xiangzi grabbed Huang Xing's hand in surprise and asked eagerly, "Have you seen Juanzi?" How is she now? ”

Huang Xing smiled at him and said, "Look at your little bit of interest, as soon as you mention Juanzi, you will be in a hurry." After all these years, I didn't say that I was looking for someone. ”

Xiangzi looked aggrieved, and said with a sad face: "Why didn't you find a mile?" The neighbors said that they had never seen her since they watched Juanzi get on the sedan chair. In the barracks, I didn't find out a little news. ”

Huang Xing glanced at Xiangzi slyly, turned his head and dragged it, and kept staring at the young man who was talking to the two in a daze, and said with a smile: "Who do you think he looks like?" ”

Xiangzi stretched out his hand to take the oil lamp and took a picture on the young man's face, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, that angular face was a little similar to his own childhood.

He was flustered, and muttered vaguely: "It looks familiar, but it's not good to say." ”

Huang Xing took the oil lamp a little anxiously, held it in front of the young man's face, and shouted, "What do you look at!" Look at these eyebrows and eyes, they look exactly like Juanzi. ”

After Huang Xing said this, Xiangzi seemed to wake up from his sleep and exclaimed: "Yes! Be! It's too much like it. Could he be? ......”

Seeing Xiangzi's surprised and excited look, Huang Xing gently hugged the young man and said, "This is what your mother often tells you about Uncle Xiangzi." ”

As he spoke, he said to Xiangzi with a surprise on his face: "He is the son of Juanzi, called Wang Xiaohu." ”

For a while, the four eyes looked at each other, as if there was a natural sense of intimacy, inexplicably surging in their hearts.

After holding back for a while, he broke through the emotional floodgates with Xiaohu's slightly childish "uncle" voice.

Xiangzi replied vaguely, and was driven by a stream of heat, stepped forward, and hugged Xiaohu tightly in his arms. Seeing the intimacy of the two, it was like a father and son who had been separated for a long time.

Huang Xing smiled "hehe" and said playfully: "Oh, it's really pork that can't be attached to the sheep, Xiaohu has been with me for a few years, and I haven't seen him kiss me so much." ”

Xiaohu smiled shyly at him and muttered in a low voice: "You are so serious, are people afraid of you?" ”

Xiangzi grinned, grabbed Huang Xing's arm, and muttered like a child: "Don't be jealous first, tell me quickly, where did you meet Juanzi?" ”

Huang Xing took a long breath and said, "You and I haven't seen it, Juanzi's ability is great." On the wedding night, she overturned the groom's official and went to Xi'an alone to join her uncle. My uncle didn't find it, but on the way back, he was robbed by bandits.

The bandit boss was also a hero at the time, and he had no family at the same time. Because of his love for Juanzi's martial arts character, he did everything he could to keep it. The latter two fell in love and married each other and had a son, Xiaohu. When Xiaohu was two years old, the family happily went to the county town to visit the temple fair, but was reported to the official by the villain.

When covering the evacuation of mother and son, the owner of Wang Zhai was unfortunately shot twice, and he barely returned to the village, so he swallowed his breath. Since then, Juanzi has not only supported the big village of dozens of brothers, but also kept it in good order.

Three years ago, I was ordered to go to persuade the bandits to be recruited. Unexpectedly, no matter how big the local bandit leader was, it turned out to be Juanzi. They didn't say a word, but not only handed over my brother of the hundred and tenth, and a lot of money and food, but also handed over their son to me. ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he smiled with relief and said eagerly: "What about Juanzi now?" ”

Huang Xing sighed lightly and said, "She handed over the people to me, saying that she wanted to go home to see her father, and there was no news of her." This time I came to Xinjiang, and I went to find her. Shopkeeper Yao passed away a few years ago. The house was unoccupied, and neighbors said that Juanzi had come back once three years ago and had never been seen again. ”

Shoko sighed a little frustratedly and muttered in a low voice, "Where can she go?" ”

Huang Xing sighed and said, "Juanzi, let's inquire slowly, with her ability, we can't lose it." Let's talk about you first, why did you escape death and come to such a far place. ”

Xiangzi saw the question, looked a little painful, sighed lightly, and said: "After you left, Camp Chief Xu and the shopkeeper asked the shopkeeper Yao to marry Juanzi to Commander Hu. Juanzi was reluctant to live or die, and was forced to be in a hurry, so she said that she wanted to marry me.

As you know, Shopkeeper Yao is a money-grubbing man. He won't agree to marry Juanzi to me, a poor bastard, not to mention that he has already received a bride price from other people. Juanzi was making a fuss about dying or living, and they treated me as a thorn in the side and insisted that I was a gangster.

Without saying a word, they tied me up to the barracks and beat me severely. From morning to evening, a group of soldiers took turns fighting. Later, seeing that I was not angry, I took advantage of the darkness and threw it to the messy post in Nanliang.

In the second half of the night, a few drops of rain woke me up. When I opened my eyes, two dogs were tearing my thighs. Shout with all your strength and scare away the wild dogs. But it hurt all over his body, as if his bones had been pulled out, and he couldn't move.

After a while, the sky began to turn white, I endured the pain, tried slowly, and found that my left calf had been fractured, my ribs were also injured, and my face was swollen like a gourd.

After dawn, I slowly moved towards the side of the road to Nanshan, and later, fortunately, I met a woman who went to Nanshan to worship incense, and got me to Nanshan Temple. Monk Guangzhi gave me bone healing and has been living in the temple.

Able to walk, I sneaked back, wanting to see how Juanzi looked, and saw that the door was locked, as if no one had lived in it for some days. So, without daring to alarm the others, I went into the house, retrieved the money you left for me and the medicine you had left me, and returned to the monastery. Later, I asked the layman under the mountain to inquire and said that Juanzi was married. ”

Speaking of this, Shoko's eyes were a little red, and her body twisted to the side slightly stiffly.

Huang Xing silently handed over the teacup and muttered to himself: "Later, I never went back to Yao's house?" ”

Xiangzi sighed lightly and said, "At that time, I was discouraged and wanted to become a monk. Asking in every way, Monk Guangzhi just didn't allow it. said that I was not destined for the earth, and I could only lead the practice.

Who knew that one day half a year later, a group of soldiers broke into the temple with great momentum, saying that they wanted to arrest the fugitives from the bandits, and they also called me by name. Fortunately, Monk Guangzhi was able to escape the catastrophe.

But the notices for my arrest were posted at the mountain gate. Monk Guangzhi let me hide in the vegetable garden in the back mountain for a while, so I went to Fuyuan County to send a letter to Monk Guanghui, the host of the Thousand Buddha Cave, and then obeyed Monk Guanghui's arrangement.

Monk Guanghui let me stay in the temple, saying that I had another chance. Later, I met County Magistrate Liu. One thing, one thing after another, has been mixed up until now. ”

Huang Xing sighed and said with some emotion: "Life is really impermanent, and the world is unpredictable." Before I came here, someone introduced me to a legendary and eccentric person in Fuyuan County, who was very capable, but did not want to be an official. Not in the roster of officials, but although there are some things about the people. When I heard the name, I suspected that it was you, so I made a temptation. ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he muttered with an aggrieved face: "I also said that my boxing is all taught by you, so naturally I can't hurt you." But the punches and kicks you use are all things I haven't seen before, so it can be seen that Master is a grinning hand for me. ”

Huang Xing smiled and said, "I have met a lot of people outside, and I know some of them. To deal with you, naturally you can't use the old way. ”

After a pause, Huang Xing suddenly remembered something, turned his head sharply, and shouted at Xiangzi: "Stinky boy! You still say me, where did you steal that set of techniques? It's not soft or hard, it wraps around me like a ball of hemp rope, and it almost doesn't exhaust me to death. ”

Xiangzi smiled and said: "I came to Fuyuan and passed by Qingfeng Mountain, and met Qingfeng Daoist at Qingfeng Temple, and stayed with me for a while. He taught me a lot of cause and effect principles, and he taught me this set of palm techniques. ”

Huang Xing smiled with satisfaction and said, "You are really not shallow, according to legend, this set of palm techniques was created by the Ziyang Zhenren of the Tianshan Sect." This palm is spread out, like a swimming dragon. No matter how high your skills are, as long as you are covered in the palm shadow, it will be difficult to crack and get out. Fortunately, you have only practiced to seven or eight successes, otherwise, I am afraid that I will suffer. ”

Seeing Xiangzi's shy "eat" smirk, he continued: "This palm has been extinct in the rivers and lakes for some years. It's also the first time I've encountered it, and it seems that the Taoist chief doesn't treat you as an outsider. ”

Xiangzi smiled "hehe" and said: "The Taoist is more than ninety years old, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones, saying that I have a fate with him for several lifetimes." ”

Seeing Huang Xing's face with joy, he nodded silently, so he shouted with great interest: "Tell me about you, there has been no news since you left." ”

Huang Xing glanced at Xiangzi calmly, sighed lightly and shook his head, and said, "It's really hard to say." ”

Seeing that Xiangzi had been looking at himself eagerly with expectant eyes, Huang Xing silently took a sip of tea and fell into deep memories.
