Chapter 1001: Song in the Mountains
The black tiger shark was questioned by Qi Ning, but he was calm and composed, his expression was not the slightest flustered, and he stared into Qi Ning's eyes and said: "Master Hou, there is a story below, few people know about it, but I don't know if Master Hou is interested in listening to it?" ”
"Story?"
The black tiger shark nodded and said, "After listening to this story, Master Hou should be very cheerful about many things. ”
Seeing the sincerity of the black tiger shark, Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "This is not the place to talk, let's leave here first." The three of them entered the underground armory, although the surroundings were closed, it was difficult to guarantee that someone would come in at any time, and the most important thing was that Tian Xuerong was still outside the entrance of the cave, Qi Ning was only worried that she would have an accident if she was alone, if Tian Xuerong fell into the hands of the ghost king, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
The three of them packed the box at the moment, so that people couldn't see the problem, so they returned to the entrance of the cave and entered the cave in turn, the black tiger shark was the last to enter, and moved the rock that was put aside to block the entrance, but the rock was very consistent with the entrance of the cave, if you didn't check carefully, you couldn't see that there was a problem at all, Qi Ning knew that this was designed by the black tiger shark, he was naturally very familiar with it, and when he saw the black tiger shark move the rock to the entrance of the cave, he secretly thought that this person's strength was really not small.
Out of the hole, Tian Xuerong kept holding the cold blade and waited outside the cave entrance, and when she saw Qi Ning come out, the beautiful woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed the cold blade back to Qi Ning, Qi Ning took the cold blade and smiled at her, over there Qin Yuege had already whispered: "Master Hou, there is still a place not far ahead, you can rest, I don't know ..... Master Hou?" ”
"Lead the way." Qi Ning commanded.
Qin Yuege led the way in front, Qi Ning looked at Tian Xuerong and asked softly, "Can you go?" ”
He went into the underground armory for a long time, Tian Xuerong had recovered a lot, nodded slightly, Qi Ning smiled slightly, and reached out to hold Mrs. Jade's hand, if there were no outsiders, Mrs. would never resist in the slightest, and he would definitely let him hold if he wanted to, but at this time, he was still very reserved, glared at Qi Ning, Qi Ning made a grimace, and then followed, in order to take care of Tian Xuerong, the pace was very slow.
Along the underground river to the front, there is a stone cave on the rock wall, Qin Yuege led a few people in, Tian Xuerong hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Master Hou, I ..... I'm waiting outside? ”
The black tiger shark had already said: "Madame doesn't have to shy away from it, just rest here together." ”
Tian Xuerong looked at Qi Ning, Qi Ning nodded slightly, and the two of them went to the cave and sat down, it was very dim inside, the black tiger shark lit the fire fold, but Qin Yuege sat down at the entrance of the cave, obviously it was also convenient to monitor, although there were few people here, but people who do big things will always pay attention to every little detail.
The black tiger shark sat down opposite Qi Ning and said straight to the point: "My hometown is in Hengyang, more precisely, at the foot of Hengshan Mountain." ”
"Hengshan?" Qi Ning was stunned, he naturally knew that Hengshan was one of the five mountains, located in southern Hunan, and thought to himself that since this black tiger shark was from Hengyang, how could he go to the East China Sea to be a pirate?
The black tiger shark nodded and said: "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, there used to be a name below, called Mo Yanbai, our Mo family has lived at the foot of Hengshan for four generations, and the generations have been hunting in Hengshan for a living." ”
Qi Ning thought to himself that there was no Hengshan faction on the rivers and lakes, if there was really a Hengshan faction, Hengshan was their territory, and it would not be easy to hunt in the mountains.
"The Mo family is not prosperous, from the great-grandfather to the three generations of the father, all of them are in the same lineage, until the next generation, the three brothers were born, but the eldest brother died of an emergency when he was three years old, so only the second brother Mo Yansong and Zaixia were left." The black tiger shark's expression was indescribably indifferent, and even its voice was extremely calm, like a windless lake, not alarmed, as if it was telling someone else's story.
"So you used to be a hunter too?"
The black tiger shark nodded and said, "When we were four or five years old, my father would make us simple bows and arrows, and we would practice drawing bows every day, until we were thirteen years old, and my father would start taking us into the mountains to hunt." Stretched out a hand and lit it up in front of Qi Ning, his hand was rough but powerful, and the thick calluses proved that he had gone through countless vicissitudes: "This hand, at the age of sixteen, can already shoot two stone hard bows, even if you meet tigers and leopards in the mountains, it is enough to shoot them." ”
He said it calmly, but Qi Ning knew that the Black Tiger Shark's words must be true.
The two-stone hard bow is already not trivial, and looking at the army, even a well-trained archer may not be able to pull away the two-stone hard bow.
Tian Xuerong's mature and beautiful face was dazed, and she didn't understand why the black tiger shark suddenly said this.
But Qi Ning understands that the black tiger shark will never be idle to tell him about his origin, and he must have a deep meaning when he says this, so he calms down and listens to the black tiger shark's narration.
"When the second brother was nineteen years old, he married Uncle Song's daughter." The black tiger shark said slowly: "Uncle Song and his father have been playmates since childhood, and the Song and Mo families can also be said to be world friends. Uncle Song has three children, the first two are men, and the third is my second sister-in-law, and the people in the village call her Yueniang, because everyone thinks that when she laughs, her lips are curved like the moon, and everyone who sees her smile is very happy. Speaking of this, the corners of the black tiger shark's lips even flashed a slight smile, obviously remembering his second sister-in-law.
"Yueniang has become the daughter-in-law of the Mo family, and she respects the second brother like a guest, the two families are harmonious, and life is not rich, but it is also worry-free." The black tiger shark looked deeply: "Two years after the second sister-in-law passed the door, I was already seventeen years old, and my father was still asking for me to marry, but I didn't take it to heart. ”
Qi Ning thought that a family of people living in peace and stability like this could be regarded as very happy, but he didn't know why the black tiger shark went to the sea to become a bandit later? The black tiger shark said that he was seventeen years old that year, but now it looks like he is dark-skinned and full of vicissitudes, and he is afraid that some people will believe him when he is forty years old.
"After a heavy snowfall that year, my second brother and I came back from hunting in the mountains." The black tiger shark said: "There are very few prey in winter, and we can't hit anything, but fortunately, we will store a lot of food every autumn, and we don't have to worry about having no food to survive the winter. On the way home, we noticed that there was a man who followed us all the time, we took a step, he took a step, we stopped, he stopped, and he looked at us with a smile. ”
Tian Xuerong was a little puzzled, looked at Qi Ning, and saw that Qi Ning was also frowning slightly, and her face was also suspicious.
"I was young and vigorous, and there were two people with my second brother at the time, so I wasn't afraid of him alone." The black tiger shark said: "I asked why the man had been following us, but he just smiled and didn't speak, I was about to go up and beat him, but the second brother pulled me, and the second brother didn't say much, and pulled me back to the village directly." ”
"Did the man follow you all the time?" Tian Xuerong couldn't help but ask.
The black tiger shark nodded slightly: "He followed him all the way to the entrance of the village, I felt very strange, and asked him what he wanted to do, he didn't speak, just laughed, so I couldn't help it, rushed up to .....!" Smiled faintly: "I punched him more than a dozen times, and I didn't even touch his clothes from beginning to end, but he tripped me with a casual hook, and I fell in the snow. ”
Qi Ning didn't say a word from beginning to end, just listened carefully, Qin Yuege sat at the entrance of the cave, as if he had known about these for a long time, but he was still calm.
"The second brother praised the man's kung fu at that time, and the man asked us if we could really pull the two-stone hard bow." The black tiger shark said calmly: "He pointed to the bow and arrow on my back and asked me if I was just making a show, I am young, how can I pull a two-stone hard bow?" ”
"Naturally, you showed him it yourself." Qi Ning finally said: "He followed you all the way back to the village, is it just to see if you can really pull the two-stone hard bow?" ”
The Black Tiger Shark nodded, "That's exactly what he was trying to do at that time. I heard his words full of suspicion, and I couldn't get angry at that time, so I took the two-stone hard bow, opened the bow and set up an arrow, and shot a bamboo ...... at the edge of the village from a hundred meters away! His tone was not arrogant or impatient, and he was calm from beginning to end: "The man was very surprised to see my archery skills, and praised me for my archery skills at that time, and said that I was young and promising, and I would definitely have a bright future in the future." ”
Qi Ning nodded slightly, thinking that you can pull a two-stone hard bow at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and shoot at the target from a hundred meters away, this archery technique is indeed very good, the folk hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and some people who are good at it don't even know that their skills are exquisite.
"The man took a knife and handed it to me, saying he wanted to give it to me." The black tiger shark said: "That knife is not an ordinary knife at first glance, I naturally will not easily give such a valuable gift, and the Chu State implements a knife hunting order, and the bows and arrows we hunt must be registered. The second brother said at that time that it was inconvenient for us to accept the knife, but the man said that even if the government knew about it and came to inquire about it, as long as we told the government the origin of the knife and reported his name, the government would not dare to embarrass us. ”
Qi Ning frowned and said, "Who is that person?" ”
"Although that person said this, it is useless, and our Mo family has never easily benefited others." The black tiger shark said: "When the man saw that we insisted on not accepting it, he smiled and said that it would be okay not to accept the knife, and asked me if I would like to learn a few knife techniques from him. His eyes were like cold stars in the night, but his voice was as calm as the surface of a windless lake: "Although I haven't thought about using a knife with someone, I know that that person's martial arts are very powerful, since he wants to pass on my sword skills, why should I refuse, so ..... I was very happy to agree, just outside the entrance of the village, the man taught me a set of knife techniques on the spot, I remember very clearly, before and after but only six moves, but these six moves are really mysterious, even the second brother saw it, and said that this knife is powerful! ”
