Chapter 41: Coming from behind

The whiskers on Hou San's chin, like a half-cut rat's tail, suddenly shook violently.

His eyes suddenly protruded out of his sockets, and the muscles in his body tightened.

"Master, what do you see? Is something wrong? ”。 The apprentice who was raising a glass of tea on the other side noticed his strange appearance and couldn't help but ask, while turning his head curiously to look into the crowd.

Hou San lowered his head slightly, desperately lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Apprentice, can you see that little white face with a hippie smile in the crowd?" That's right, it's the guy who walks side by side with the pretty woman in the red dress, pointing fingers! He is the great enemy of the teacher, follow up quickly and find out his whereabouts. Oh, let's go, we'll meet at the inn in the evening. ”

Seeing that the apprentice nodded slightly, put down the teacup, stood up quickly, and followed closely with steps. Hou San exhaled a long breath at this time, and the thick Adam's apple rolled up and down quickly, and swallowed hard to spit.

At this time, his state of mind can be described as surprised and happy, mixed with joy and sorrow.

The joy is: the sky has eyes! Who would have thought that after traveling to many places, thinking day and night, the enemy who was looking for him would accidentally bump into him in the downtown of this city. God can't see it, and he wants to help him with revenge!

However, he was a little worried: after all, he was a fledgling, and he unfortunately ended up with a lifelong disability, so he had more than enough strength to do so. The pretty girl next to the enemy is naturally not worth mentioning, but that thief is insidious and vicious, and he has good kung fu, even if he combines the strength of his master and apprentice, he may not be able to win, right?

I can't care about it so much, just wait for the disciples to return after the news is inquired and then discuss the countermeasures in detail. In the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can we be afraid of wolves and tigers, and easily miss it?!

Thinking of this, Hou San slowly closed his eyes slightly, raised the teacup in his hand, and put it on his hot, dry lips.

Turning a street corner, Chen Ling'er, who had a happy face, suddenly blinked her eyes, and whispered in Guan Yu's ear with a smile: "Bad guy, have you ever noticed that there seems to be an extra "tail" behind the two of us? ”。

Guan Yu hurriedly raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger to his lips, and smiled with a smile: "Shh, you and I should be completely ignorant, just go back to the inn." When he shows up in a moment, I'd like to see where the sacredness is. ”

Chen Linger pursed her lips and smiled, bowing slightly. The little bird tilted her head and let one of Guan Yu's big hands pull her small hand, and continued to move forward calmly.

"Shopkeeper, my husband and wife have been shopping for a day and are tired. Please ask Xiao Er to bring the good wine and food in the store upstairs, and your reward will be indispensable. As soon as he entered the door of the inn, Guan Yu shouted loudly.

The innkeeper was full of spring breeze, and trotted forward to meet him: "Two distinguished guests, please rest assured, I will personally arrange it in the next place." Please rest for a while. I ordered someone to fetch two basins of hot water and send them first! ”。

Guan Yu nodded with satisfaction, took one of Chen Linger's small hands, and walked up the stairs with a smile.

Respectfully watching the two of them ascend the stairs, the shopkeeper blew another wind into the kitchen. He knew very well in his heart: this uncle was generous, and he was in the store for two days, and the tip he gave every time he gave a casual reward was more than the meal money plus the store money.

If there are a few more such customers in the store, why don't the small shops prosper?! If such a bright and proud uncle doesn't serve him wholeheartedly, then his eyes as a shopkeeper will be white!

Taking advantage of the temporary emptiness of the courtyard, Hou San's apprentice crept in from the gate, raised his legs and landed lightly, and quietly climbed up the wooden stairs.

flashed to the door of Guan Yu and the two of them, and first listened to the door panel, but there seemed to be no movement in the house. A moment later, he dodged and slipped under the windowsill again.

In order to make sure that he had not misseen the room, he slowly poked his head out, intending to take advantage of the fact that no one was around, poking through the window lattice paper to take a peek in. As long as you are sure that the two are in the house, you can leave quietly without knowing it.

"Poof", the window lattice paper suddenly broke a hole from the inside out, and Hou San's apprentice was shocked into a cold sweat and hurriedly turned around to dodge.

With a "beep", a dart glittering with cold light grazed the tip of his nose and was deeply embedded in the trunk of a jujube tree in the courtyard.

Hou San's apprentice raised his hand and wiped it on his face, and when he looked down, his hands were stained with blood.

At this moment, there was also a burning pain on his face, and there must have been a long and oblique cut there. Creepy, he tiptoed to the ground, jumped onto the roof, and the cat bent down and fled.

Running out of the way, he leaned down and squatted on the ground, gasping for breath as he looked back nervously: fortunately, no one was behind him.

It was getting dark, and Hou San, who had already returned to the inn, was sitting quietly at the table, bowing his head and contemplating.

The door was slammed open, and his apprentice ran in sweaty, panting.

Hou San pouted his beard, which looked like he had broken half of a mouse's tail, and reprimanded in a low voice without raising his head: "Why are you so slow to return?" Have you found out all about it? ”。

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, he couldn't help but glance up and said in surprise: "Why is your face hurt?" ”。

The apprentice gasped for a moment before he spoke: "Master, your enemy is really insidious and vicious, and before the apprentice could make a move, he was somehow injured by him, and he escaped with his life!" ”。

Hou San raised his hand and pointed to the stools on the opposite side of the table, and comforted: "Sit down and drink saliva first, and speak slowly." ”

The apprentice was obviously quite frightened, and his fingers were still trembling slightly.

He sat down, picked up the tea bowl on the table, craned his neck and gulped down.

Hou San frowned and asked, "Since it was discovered, are you sure that the guy didn't chase after you?" ”。

The apprentice put down the tea bowl and nodded confidently: "Please rest assured, Master, I look back from time to time, and I deliberately went around in a circle to return here, so I was a little sluggish." ”

Before the words fell, the door of the house was kicked open with a "bang", and a personable man in white strode in.

Almost at the same time, only to hear the sound of the window lattice, a woman in red with a long soft whip in her hand flew in, blocking all the retreats of the two people in the house.

Hou San's apprentice turned his head to look, first taken aback, then burst into a shout, jumped up, clenched his fists and smashed towards the man in white at the door.

When Hou San saw the comer, his eyes burst out, and the so-called enemies were extremely red when they met.

He quickly reached into his arms, took out a dagger that was bright and dangling, slapped the table with the palm of his other hand, and flew towards Guan Yu with the momentum, and the dagger pierced his heart.

Guan Yu's little white face always had a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he didn't panic at all.

He first twisted his face slightly, dodged the fist from the split, and as if taking root under his feet, he suddenly popped out the two fingers of his right hand and poked at the chest of Hou San's apprentice. But it was as if he had turned a blind eye to the dagger that stabbed him in the chest.

Hou San, who was in mid-air, couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart: This guy is too big, with the strength of my master and apprentice, I will definitely make you die today!

There was a loud "boom", and Hou San only felt that his eyes were full of gold stars and his head was buzzing. Seeing that the dagger in his hand was about to be next to the enemy's clothes, how could he fly out of thin air and slam his head on the wall? He couldn't figure it out!

Hou San shook his dizzy head desperately, and his eyes widened. Venus, which was spinning rapidly in front of him, seemed to be getting smaller, but the dagger in his hand didn't know where it had flown away.

The first thing that caught his eye was his beloved disciple, half-crouched, frozen motionless in front of the enemy with a strange expression, as if he had been fixed there by some magic spell.

Chen Ling'er pouted, moved a few steps to Guan Yu's side angrily, and said dissatisfiedly: "These two guys are simply unsightly, why do they only attack you and don't take me in their eyes at all?" ”。

Guan Yu glanced at her with a wicked smile and said, "There is a debtor and a debtor, not to mention how do they know that my baby Ling'er is a rare heroine in the world?" ”。

Hearing him say this, Chen Ling'er's pretty face blushed slightly, and she turned her anger into joy.

She smiled and raised her hand and said, "These two guys are not good things at first glance, kill them quickly, and we should go back to rest as soon as possible." ”

Guan Yu shook his head again and again and said: "No, it is now the world of Great Chu, a peaceful and prosperous world." We are both law-abiding citizens and good people. Although that mustache had some holidays with me before, Guan has always been merciful and plans to let them live...... Why don't you wait outside the door first, and then I will admonish them and then come? ”。

Groggy and his head was still buzzing, Hou San, who was clinging to the wall and couldn't straighten his waist, his eyes protruded out of his orbit. In fact, he didn't hear a word of what Guan Yu and Chen Ling'er said, and the picture in his mind was always like this:

A large fish with a shiny white belly was thrown on the table, its round eyes protruding from its sockets, its mouth open and closed, its body twisted, and its tail slapping desperately on the table.

On either side of the table, a man and a woman are seated. The man was dressed in snow-white clothes, the woman was smiling and wearing a red dress, and each of them held a knife and fork in their hands.

The pretty woman held her cheeks in her hand, looked at the man opposite with affection and smiled: "I think it's still steamed, right?" This keeps the original flavor. ”

The man shook his head slightly and replied with a smile: "I think it's more flavorful than braised braised ones." If the lady insists on steaming, then sprinkle more shredded green onions......".

The woman's face was slightly red, and she said, "Sprinkle some ginger again, what about the chili pepper?" How much should I put? ……”。

"Master, Master, are you alright?" Hou San's apprentice shook his shoulders vigorously, his eyes worried.

Hou San shook his head desperately again, only to realize that he had been helped to sit at the table by the futile at some point, and the woman in red had disappeared from the room.

Only the white-clad enemy with a wicked smile was left standing.

Guan Yu suddenly put away his smile, sighed lightly and said, "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?" Anyway, you're also my fellow seniors. If you hadn't been bent on harming me, you wouldn't have broken your hamstrings and ended up in such a field. ”

After a slight pause, Guan Yu then spoke: "In this way, I heard that the new Dazai of the current Great Chu issued an official document not long ago. Let all the state capitals, counties and counties set up homes for the elderly, gather those widows, widows, loneliness, and lack the ability to earn a living together, and the imperial court will fund them to let them live for the elderly, you go there. As for this little apprentice of yours, finding a serious job is enough to make a living! The laws of Dachu are strict, and the punishment for stealing and stealing property is very heavy! ”。

Hou San's lips squirmed weakly, but he didn't speak.

Guan Yu glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "Don't believe what I said? ”。 As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out a golden and dazzling brand, shook it and said, "See? This is the gift of the Queen Mother today. Holding this token is rampant all over the world, and the local officials must also obey it. ”

Looking at the shocked expressions of the two, Guan Yu smiled proudly, retracted the token, and put it in his arms.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "Also, you have all seen it with your own eyes: my lady has excellent martial arts skills, and her temper is not very good. If we meet again in the future, I won't be able to save your life, so I hope you can do it yourself. ”

Hou San suddenly staggered to his feet, but the stump leg that was not fighting dragged him down, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Guan Yu subconsciously stretched out his hand to help, and Hou San raised his head from his arms and nodded slightly in thanks.

There were only two masters and apprentices left in the room, and the apprentice asked with a sad face, "Master, how should the two of us act in the future?" Do you follow the man in white? ”。

Hou San was silent at first, but suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly.

The apprentice was taken aback again, and hurriedly got up and asked, "Master, what's wrong with your old man?" ”。

Hou San stopped laughing, his face was full of red light, and he said in a loud voice: "Apprentice, that thief is still a little tender compared to the teacher, the so-called Tao is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high. The gold medal in his arms has arrived in my hands, what do we have to worry about in the future?! ”。

Seeing that the apprentice shook his head in disbelief, Hou San puffed up his chest, confidently reached into his arms, and felt out an object and held it high.

In an instant, his face suddenly turned blue, his mouth was wide open, and he shook his head again in disbelief.

In his hand was not the glittering golden token, but a black iron plaque that was identical in shape, size, and even weight.

The sign is also engraved with a few large characters, one side is: Point to point.

Turning it over, there are four big characters in the book: the back is on top.
