Chapter 5 Distress Again
Long Yuan's forehead originally had a striking oblique scar, which was also the most obvious feature on his face, but now, there was another scar on that oblique scar, which had become an 'X' shape.
Liu Xiu subconsciously asked, "When did you scratch a scar on your head again?" He remembered that when he first rescued Long Yuan, he didn't have this new scar on his head.
Long Yuan Zhengse said: "The lord has a life-saving grace for his subordinates, and his subordinates must not implicate the lord, adding this scar can better hide the identity of his subordinates." ”
Liu Xiu secretly admired, Long Yuan was really a fine person! Even so, he tirelessly advised: "This trip is dangerous, and Uncle Zhong must be more careful." ”
Long Yuan arched his hand, bowed to the ground, and said movingly: "It is the fault of his subordinates to let the lord be so concerned. ”
Liu Xiu held his arm and asked him to get up, and then he asked, "You have been teaching me to practice axes, are you going to use axes as weapons in the future?" ”
He didn't want to fight people with an axe, the idol in his mind was a big hero like Jing Ke, and his ideal weapon was naturally a sword.
Long Yuan said: "The axe is heavy, use the axe to practice, it is suitable to enhance arm strength, and when the lord is familiar with the axe, he can switch to a sword, and when the lord can easily cut through trees with a sword," Speaking of this, he smiled, pulled the dagger out of his waist, handed it to Liu Xiu, and said: "The lord can use the dagger instead." ”
Liu Xiu was surprised: "A dagger can also cut off trees?" ”
Long Yuan Zhengse said: "Strong, the blades can also hurt people." ”
Liu Xiu sighed and said, "I'm afraid Jing Ke back then couldn't do it to the point where the leaves hurt people, right?!" ”
Long Yuan smiled silently.
After breakfast, Long Yuan said goodbye to Liu Xiu and went to Lantian County to find Long Zhun and Long Xiao.
Liu Xiu continued to stay in his hometown of Chungling, his life has hardly changed, he is still in various places, practicing martial arts, and his life is simple and fulfilling.
At noon that day, Liu Xiu finished his farm work in the field and was about to go home for lunch, when he walked not far and met two people.
Both of them are about thirty years old, medium build, mediocre appearance, wearing a little sloppy, cloth and linen pants, and a lot of patches, I can't tell how long they haven't been washed, dirty and black and shiny.
There are a lot of displaced people now, and when he saw these two people, Liu Xiu didn't pay much attention to them. Just when the two sides were about to pass by, a man suddenly said: "Liu Xiu! ”
Hearing the other party call out his name, Liu Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously stopped, and asked, "Do we know each other?" ”
The two men first glanced at each other, and then looked at Liu Xiu with deep eyes, one of them said with a smile: "I heard that you have a lot of grain in your hands, and you often take it to the market to sell, our brothers haven't had a decent meal for several days, Liu Xiu, how about giving us some of your grain?" ”
Liu Xiu almost laughed on the spot when she heard this, and laughed angrily. He'd seen a brazen person, but it was the first time he'd seen someone as shameless as this one.
He said: "I have some food at home, but it is barely enough for my own use, and I don't have any extra food to give away. ”
Hearing Liu Xiu's refusal, the faces of the two men sank, and the person who spoke raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, do you want to watch our brothers starve to death?" ”
Liu Xiu frowned and said: "The two are young and strong, and they have hands and feet, whether they are doing long-term or short-term work, even if they can't eat, they won't starve to death!" ”
As he spoke, he shook his head, feeling that these two people were really unreasonable, and he didn't want to say anything more about them, and wanted to move on.
The man who spoke had a cold glint in his eyes, and suddenly, his right hand swiped back, and a bright dagger immediately appeared in his palm, aimed at Liu Xiu's heart, and stabbed it silently.
Liu Xiu was not unguarded, and when he heard that the evil wind behind him was not good, he immediately realized that it was not good, and his body jumped out sideways.
Sand! The edge of the dagger swept under his ribs, picking a gap in the side of his coat.
This man missed, and another man immediately rushed forward, and there was also an extra dagger in his hand, and the dagger slashed a flash of lightning in the air, flashing straight towards Liu Xiu's neck.
The opponent's move was too fast, so fast that Liu Xiu couldn't see it clearly at all, but instinctively realized that it was not good, and reflexively leaned back.
Sand! The cold glow of the dagger almost brushed against his throat, and at that moment, the biting cold air that hit made the skin on Liu Xiu's neck have a layer of goosebumps.
His face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "You ......"
Without giving him a chance to speak, the two big men each held daggers and attacked Liu Xiu again. The two of them made quick and ruthless moves, and the knives were all aimed at Liu Xiu's vital points.
If it was more than a month ago, Liu Xiu might not even be able to go through a round in front of the two of them, and at this time, Liu Xiu was no longer comparable to the past after Long Yuan's guidance.
Seeing the two daggers flying up and down towards him, Liu Xiu slid down like a top, moving sideways how far he went.
Seeing this, the two big men secretly frowned, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts! According to their investigation, Liu Xiu is just a country boy who farms, why is his body so fast and so weird?
Seeing Liu Xiu flash out for a long distance, a big man chased after him with a knife, and another big man quickly put on a deerskin glove, untied a leather bag from his back waist, opened the seal of the leather bag, and his hand wearing deerskin gloves reached in.
Then he greeted his companion who was attacking Liu Xiu.
The big man suddenly gave up the attack and bent down, and at this moment, the big man behind him pulled his hand out of his leather bag, and in his hand, grabbed a red and white flower snake.
His arm was raised outward, and the flower snake flew out and went straight to Liu Xiu.
The two big men worked skillfully, the former just bent down, and the latter threw out the flower snake.
Liu Xiu didn't see what was flying towards him clearly at all, but after more than a month of practice, his body instinctively rotated to the side, and took out a hoe.
Syllable!
The hoe was impartial, hitting the head of the flower snake that flew towards Liu Xiu, the flower snake fell to the ground, and the red and white body suddenly curled up.
Seeing clearly that it was a snake that fell to the ground, Liu Xiu's heart trembled, and his face changed.
The two big men secretly gritted their teeth, the big man who squatted down stood up again, and continued to attack Liu Xiu with a knife, while the other big man hurriedly came to the flower snake, picked it up from the ground, and stuffed it back into the leather bag, and then he took off the deerskin gloves, shouted, and attacked Liu Xiu with his companions.
Just when Liu Xiu was forced to retreat again and again by the attack of the two of them, suddenly, he heard a loud shout on the country road: "Stop!" ”
This voice, like thunder in the clear sky, even if it is far away, shocks people's hearts and skips two beats.
Hearing the words, Liu Xiu and the two big men coincidentally looked for prestige, only to see three people running quickly on the country road.
The first one, with a burly figure and a strong body, has shiny bronzed skin, thick eyebrows, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a beard on his face, revealing a rough and heroic atmosphere.
The person who came was not someone else, it was Liu Xiu's eldest brother, Liu Xiu. Behind Liu Xuan were his two best friends, Zhang Ping and Zhu Yun.
Seeing that the eldest brother was coming, Liu Xiu was pleasantly surprised and shouted loudly: "Big brother--"
Seeing that there were two gangsters attacking their little brothers, and both of them had used knives, Liu Xuan was furious, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his beard was open, as if he wanted to eat people.
Zhang Ping and Zhu Yun also pulled out the short sword they were carrying, and ran straight to Liu Xiu's side with murderous energy.
Seeing this, the two big men were secretly shocked, it seemed that there was no chance to take Liu Xiu's life again today.
The two of them glanced at each other, didn't say a word, abandoned Liu Xiu, turned around and ran.
Liu Xuan, Zhang Ping, and Zhu Yun would let the two of them leave, and then chased after them. However, these two people had good foot strength, and they ran fast, and in just a while, they had already run a long way. Liu Jiu and the three chased out a section, and saw that the distance between the two sides was not narrowing, but getting farther and farther away, and finally the three had to give up the pursuit.
They turned back to Liu Xiu and looked him up and down, and Liu Xiu asked with concern, "Ah Xiu, are you okay?" ”
Liu Xiu shook his head, gasped and said, "Big brother, I'm fine!" ”
Zhang Ping and Zhu Yun asked angrily, "Ah Xiu, what's going on?" Who are those two? ”
Liu Xiu didn't know the two big men either, he shook his head and said: "I don't know them, but they seem to know me, not only can they call my name, but they also know that I often go to the market to sell grain." ”
Hearing this, Liu Zhuo frowned, it sounded like it should be someone nearby, but in his impression, he had never seen these two people.
Liu Xiu continued: "They asked me for food, and when I said no, they suddenly moved a knife at me! ”
Liu Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter, if the other party wanted food, there was no need to use a knife to kill people! If the other party is here to seek revenge, but Ah Xiu has always been farming at home, how can there be an enemy?
After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "In the future, you are not allowed to sell grain in the bazaar, now there is a great drought in the world, and many people can do anything for a mouthful of food!" ”
In Liu Xuan's opinion, it must be that the younger brother often goes to the market to sell grain, which makes people jealous, so that this disaster is summoned.
Liu Xiu felt that things were not so simple.
He didn't know the flower snake that the other party threw out just now, and he couldn't tell what kind of breed it was, but he understood that the more colorful and beautiful the snake, the more poisonous it was.
If he was really bitten by that flower snake just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It feels like the other party is not coming for his own food, but more for his own life, and asking for food is just an excuse.
But he has never provoked anyone, so why do the two of them want their own lives?
Seeing that Liu Xiu lowered his head and didn't answer for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on in his head, Liu Xiu said angrily: "Ah Xiu, did you hear what the eldest brother told you?" ”
Liu Xiu came back to his senses and responded, "Big brother, I know." After a pause, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Big brother, why are you here?" ”
