Chapter 42: The Question of Book Covers

Zhang Fei is such a bold character, he was comfortable fighting just now, and he has a good sense of Su Xiu, so he began to call him brother after coming and going. Su Xiu was a little speechless, if it wasn't for the housekeeper to call, he would have almost been defeated, it seems that he has indeed spent too little time on martial arts recently.

There is no shortcut to practice, and it is also a boat against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Although Su Xiu has been practicing almost every day since he took office, after all, there are too many government and military affairs to deal with, and he is indeed a lot more estranged from martial arts.

After staying in Zhuo County for more than ten days, Su Xiu learned from Zhang Fei every day, and with the deepening of the understanding between the two, Zhang Fei became closer and closer to Su Xiu.

"Pindi, what do you think of my martial arts?"

Zhang Fei was originally a war-loving person, but he was not the kind of simple-minded and vulgar martial artist. Although he really wanted to go with Su Xiu, Su Xiu didn't speak, and he didn't want to post it to Su Xiu, after all, as a master of martial arts, dignity is sometimes more important than life.

Su Xiu actually wanted to directly explain his purpose to Zhang Fei a long time ago, but he didn't dare to be too eager for a seemingly simple person like Zhang Fei, who actually had some brains, for fear of making Zhang Fei feel that he was too purposeful and incurred. As a result, it was a stalemate for more than ten days.

"Needless to say, Yide's martial arts are rare in the world." Su Xiu was a little unsure of Zhang Fei's intentions, so on a case-by-case basis, at least for now, Su Xiu and Zhang Fei could be said to have lost more than won these days. Su Xiu only won once in more than ten days, and he still relied on a little cleverness to deliberately sell flaws to counterattack to win, and after that time, Zhang Fei was extremely careful every time he fought with Su Xiu, so he didn't win later.

Su Xiu knew very well that a military general like Zhang Fei who was in the late stage of the Gangqi Realm had too much advantage compared to Su Xiu in the early stage of the Gangqi Realm. Whether it is the control of Gang Qi or the use of moves, Zhang Fei is a step above Su Xiu, don't underestimate this little advantage, the more you reach the later stage of the martial arts, a little advantage may also be transformed into a victory.

Just like Su Xiu was fighting with Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei could always find Su Xiu's conversion in Gang Qi or moves to counterattack, which made Su Xiu feel very uncomfortable, and it was often such a rhythm that made Su Xiu gradually lose the continuity of his attacks, thus magnifying the defeat.

"Anyway, are there many people in the Gang Qi Realm in your Taishan army?"

"In addition to me, there is another Yu Ban who has reached the early stage of the Gang Qi Realm, and he has not been able to break through in a short period of time."

"By the way, Pindi, I heard that your Taishan side is not very peaceful, and you have collected two bandits in the past few months, what are you going to do with the other bandits?"

"Don't worry too much about that. Many of the thieves in Mount Tai were forced to fall into the grass and become cowards, and they still have some conscience, plus I just won one of the three major cottages, Python Cloud Village, they will not have any changes for the time being. In addition, before I left, I arranged for people to recruit the kind of bandits who usually don't do much evil, and I believe it won't take long to settle down. All I have to do is target those who do all the evil. ”

"Wing, don't you like to fight? Just go to Mount Tai with me, I will definitely clean up the bandits around Mount Tai in the past two years, and you can also show your martial arts, but I don't know if you are reluctant to give up the good family business of Zhuo County. ”

Su Xiu heard that Zhang Fei was talking to him about Taishan intentionally or unintentionally, and finally understood that Zhang Fei actually wanted to fight the world with him. However, out of the self-esteem of a master, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to say, 'Hey, how about I go with you to fight the country', this is too valuable. That's why Su Xiu opened his mouth to solicit it, and at the same time gently provoked Zhang Fei.

In history, Zhang Fei helped Liu Bei recruit 300 strong men at the place where Liu Bei started, which became the foundation for Liu Bei's initial success, and Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were also introduced to Liu Bei by Zhang Fei, which laid the cornerstone of the later Shu Han regime.

"This manor is originally something outside the body, what is there to be reluctant to give, as long as I have a fight to fight. I'm just a little relieved that my old mother, my father left early, and I am the only one in the family, so I can't take care of the elderly if I go too far. ”

"This Yide can rest assured, you can take Lingtang to Taishan together. Although my Taishan is not a rich place, it is not a problem to provide for the elderly. Besides, my military advisor Xi Zhicai of Taishan also took his high hall to Taishan, so that Lingtang can be a companion with the old lady, so that the two old men will not be too lonely when Yide and Zhicai are not around. ”

"Well, that's a good idea, okay, then I'll go with you, I'll go to Zhang Luo for a while, Brother Pingdi, oh no, it should be called the lord, the lord, you stay in Zhuojun for more than a month, I can sell this Zhuangzi and leave."

"Yide doesn't need to be polite, I don't really like these red tapes. Anyway, I'm coming to Zhuojun now, it's not far from Zhending, I'll go back, and I'll come back to you in a month. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for news from the lord in Zhuo County."

……

Zhending County, Liujia Village

Liu Cui'er's father and daughter often bought some daily necessities for them before Su Xiu went down the mountain, so that Liu San's income from every hunting could be stored, and over time, life gradually improved. And Liu San was also supported by the vast majority of people in Liujia Village because of his kindness and excellent hunting methods.

But now Liu San's house is full of white curtains, and there is a newly made cypress coffin in the main hall, because there is a charcoal basin for burning paper money at the foot of the coffin, and there are some water stains on the coffin. In the middle of the lobby, a large word 'Dien' and a spiritual seat placed below all indicate that a funeral is being held at home.

Su Xiu felt Liujiacun all the way, and what he saw was such a picture, which caught him off guard. Hurriedly rushed into the lobby, Su Xiu didn't see Liu San or Liu Cuier, only a group of villagers who usually had a good relationship with the Liu family were helping to manage it.

Because when he was learning art, he would come to Liu Sanjia every once in a while to loosen some daily necessities, so many villagers in the village knew Su Xiu. At that time, the villagers also joked about Liu San, saying that Cui'er had a good life, and she could pick up a dignified husband when she washed her clothes.

But it has only been a year since he came down the mountain, and Su Xiu couldn't imagine that the Liu family would undergo such drastic changes. Looking at the furnishings in the lobby, Su Xiu could see from the spiritual seat written on the spiritual seat that it was Liu San's funeral. Su Xiu knew that Liu San and Cui'er were not very literate, and they must have been written with the help of some knowledgeable gentlemen in the village.

Recalling Liu San's honest face, Su Xiu couldn't help but feel sad.

"This is Liujia Village, Zhending County, a few days ago, when the little girl went to the river to wash clothes, she found that the son had fainted on the riverside, so she rescued the child......"

"Little brother, you are learning art in the mountains now, and the conditions on the mountain are not very good, so don't keep sending us things, take them back quickly."

"Cui'er is still chattering these days, saying, 'Why hasn't Brother Su come yet', alas, the female university is not staying......"

……

Recalling all the things she had done with Liu San, tears welled up in the corners of Su Xiu's eyes. What is going on, Liu San is only in his thirties, how could he pass away early?

"Aunt Liu, what's going on? I haven't been back for a year, how did it end up like this? Cui'er, why didn't you see her? ”

"It's Su Xianggong who is back! Alas, it's a sin, Brother Liu San is such a good person, he left like this, what can I do if I leave Cui'er alone. ”

Originally, after Su Xiu often brought daily necessities to Liu San's family, Liu San went to the mountains to hunt less and less. On weekdays, I do farm work at home, and I also have some experience in guiding the young people in the village to hunt.

It wasn't until some time ago that hunters in the village were bitten to death by tigers during hunting, and Liu San brought javelins, bows and arrows and went into the mountains with everyone, wanting to kill the big insect that plagued the villagers.

Who knew that after Liu San shot the tiger in the eye with an arrow, the tiger burst out and injured people, and Liu San had to pick up a javelin and stab the tiger to death in order to save the villagers. As a result, although the tiger died, the counterattack before death actually cut Liu San's chest open with one claw, and it didn't take long for Liu San to die.

After Liu Cuier learned the news, she fainted from crying on the spot, and she is still in the room and has not woken up.
