Chapter Ninety-Seven: Fellowship
Luda said: "It's really rare, there are a lot of people who can bow and arrow, but there are very few who really use it, and even fewer can be called archers." ”
"Thank you Tihar for the compliment." Pang Wanchun said.
Luda is very familiar with Yan'an Mansion, but the city is not big, and there are no scenic spots, and after playing for a while, he basically played all over, Luda said: "This city is not as good as the big city of Tokyo, it is small and there is nothing fun, why not go to the north of the city, there is a grassland." ”
Li Kui said: "It's the right thing to talk to you, don't you have itchy hands?" ”
Ruda smiled: "You drank under the table yesterday, you can't drink, and you can't fight." ”
The group went out of the north gate of Yan'an City, there was just a large meadow in the north, and there was not even a tree in the four places, although it was withered and yellow, but it looked extraordinarily fertile.
Li Kui said: "There is not even a tree growing in this place, but the grass grows luxuriantly. ”
"Yan'an Mansion is a place of four wars, and there are wars all year round, and the trees outside the city are easy for the enemy soldiers to take advantage of, or the enemy cuts down trees to make siege equipment, so all the trees are cut down, and the grass grows because it is watered by blood." Chao Gai said.
Luda said with a smile: "Good knowledge, it's true, just under our feet three years ago and the Western Xia army, the battle was one day and one night, the corpses were all over the ground, and then the Western Xia withdrew the troops, because they were afraid of causing the plague, the corpses were buried on the spot, so the grass was so fertile." Luda said that he would take a posture and shake his big fist a few times, wanting to compete with Li Kui.
Li Kui didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, dragged off his coat, tightened the belt of his trousers, and put on a posture, and the two sides were about to fight.
Chao Gai said: "Wait. ”
"What's the matter with Brother Chao?" Ruda asked.
"Martial artists know that it is difficult to progress if you don't learn from each other when you practice martial arts to a certain extent, so it is necessary to learn from each other, but both of them are strong people, and if they are injured during the competition, it is not beautiful, so the two of them can stop when they are fighting." Chao Gai said.
"Don't worry." The two replied.
Li Kui's routines mostly come from Chao Gai's sanda and fighting and traditional martial arts routines, his footsteps slid back and forth, and a right hook went straight to Luda's chin, Luda did not dodge, his left fist went up, bang, the two fists collided, and the two of them grinned in pain.
Luda's right fist took advantage of the weakness and went straight to Li Kui's chest, Li Kui stepped back to defend and blocked Luda's fist with his arm.
Li Kui screamed and said, "Okay, it's really powerful, it's much stronger than Hua Lei and Jiao Ting, this power is the same as a bull." ”
Jiao Ting next to him said: "It seems that I usually beat you lightly, but I should really beat you hard." ”
The two of them tried three or five rounds to get to the point, punching back and forth, stepping on the wild grass, and making dust flying around, and it was twenty rounds at once. Chao Gai nodded beside him and asked Pang Wanchun: "Who do you think can win?" ”
Pang Wanchun said: "Brother Li Kui is fierce, and he is also very serious about practicing his fists and feet with his brother, but after all, the time is too short, I am afraid it will be difficult to last." On the other hand, Lu Tizhi was disrupted by Li Kui's attack at the beginning, but he slowly got used to it, and if Li Kui couldn't win within ten moves, he was afraid that he would lose. ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Kui to slow down, and he was hooked by Luda's leg with his foot, and he fell heavily to the ground. Luda thought that this was the end, who knew that Li Kui's skills on the ground were still very good, a scissor kick kicked Luda down, the two big men were covered in dust, and it didn't take any tricks to get up, the four arms were put together and began to fight, the muscles bulged, and the blood vessels swelled.
Chao Gai said: "Okay, that's it, don't fight anymore." ”
The two of them are on the head, where are they willing to listen, Chao Gai was worried that the two would be injured, so he came to the middle of the two, and his big hand divided the left and right, and pushed the two of them away.
Luda said: "This iron bull has a lot of strength, and his fists and feet are also ruthless. I didn't expect the Chao Gai brothers' strength to be so huge, they really deserve to be the king of Tota. ”
"Happy, it's a pity that I can't fight with you every day, your strength is greater than mine, and your fists and feet are also powerful. But I don't admit defeat, I just learned from my brother, and I will definitely be able to win you in another year and a half. Li Kui said.
Chao Gai said to Li Kui: "If you lose, you must dare to admit defeat, and learn what it matters if you win or lose." ”
Chao Gai said to Luda again: "You have the strength to pull out the tree, but the strength above the military array is light, and it can't be done without armor and good blades, Brother Luda goes to the inn with me, I have a steel knife, you can like it." ”
Luda sighed: "The Sprinkle family is worried about this, the weapons made in the army cut corners, they are very undurable, and they don't even have a good waist knife." "After all, Luda is not as good as Yang Zhi, and there is a family heirloom knife at home.
Chao Gai and Luda and the others went to yesterday's tavern for lunch, because they were going to go out to the inn to get a knife for a while, Luda didn't dare to drink more when he was happy, and the group of five people ate some meat snacks and went to the inn.
Wu Yong was playing chess with Xu Guanzhong with a fan, and when he saw Luda coming, he saluted and said: "Presumably you are the Luda Luti of Yan'an Mansion, a famous town." ”
Luda said with a smile: "You literati are really good at talking, when did the Sprinkle family become famous in Yan'an Mansion, there is a pig killer in Yan'an Mansion called Zhen Guanxi." ”
Jiao Ting took out a back mountain knife made by Tang Long from the salute, this knife is not long, only two feet, but the steel mouth is very cold and shining. Chao Gai took it to Luda, who played with it repeatedly, and liked it very much, and said: "What a heavy knife, I'm afraid it weighs five or six pounds, and this steel mouth is also very good, and it is so majestic to hang on the waist." ”
"This knife is short, it belongs to the waist knife, it is easy to travel, and it is still very good as an auxiliary weapon. There is also a set of armor that you can wear properly. Chao Gai took out his own set of armor from the package, this armor is cowhide on the outside and fish scale armor on the inside, but the chest and back are made of thickened steel plates, and ordinary bows and crossbows can't hurt at all. This armor can protect the upper body and thighs, and the end is very good, with this set of good armor, it is equivalent to an extra life for people on the battlefield.
Lu Dana's figure is similar to Chao Gai, and it is very suitable to wear, swaying from side to side, very proud, and said: "The Sprinkle family is still dressed very well, it is not heavy, and it is not ostentatious to look at the appearance of leather armor." ”
Chao Gai said: "This armor will be given to Brother Luda." ”
Luda hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, although the Sprinkle family is a rough person, they also know that this armor is at least made of thousands of steel sheets, if ordinary people can have such a set of armor, they can't wait to be a family heirloom, hanging on the beams of the house, how can the Sprinkle family take away your love." ”
Wu Yong said: "Red powder for beauty, sword for heroes, armor for heroes, Lu Ti is a battlefield general, should wear this armor, is it possible to give such a good armor to a cook?" Wouldn't that be a waste? ”
"I respect Brother Luda's personality and morality, and I don't want anything, Brother Luda can accept it with confidence." Chao Gai said.
Luda is not a twisted person, and seeing that Chao Gai has talked about this, he said, "Okay, the Sprinkle family has accepted it." ”
Chao Gai and others stayed in Yan'an Mansion for three days, and Luda took leave to accompany each other, drinking and practicing boxing every day, so unhappy. In the evening of that day, it was still the same small shop, and Luda was also drunk, Chao Gai said: "We will go back tomorrow." ”
"What are you doing in such a hurry to go back, I haven't fought enough with Brother Li Kui. I'm going to pay my military salary recently, and when I pay my military salary, I'll invite you to have a good meal. In the past few days, we have a deep brotherhood, and it is strange that we are uncomfortable. Ruda said.
Chao Gai smiled: "You and I are both heroic men, aiming in all directions, today's difference is for tomorrow's meeting, and we will always see you again in the future." ”
The banquet dispersed, Pang Wanchun supported Li Kui, and Jiao Ting supported Luda. When he got to the street, Ruda flicked his sleeves and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not drunk, let's leave it at that." ”
Chao Gai said: "Jiao Ting, you send Brother Luda, he drank a little too high today." ”
"Brother, don't worry, I will send Brother Ruda to the residence." Jiao Ting said.
Early the next morning, Luda woke up, shook his head, and found that there was a package at the head of the bed, and when he opened it, it was actually silver, ten taels of silver. No need to ask, this was left when Jiao Ting sent it yesterday.
Luda was very moved, and when he met for no reason, he sent knives, armor, and silver.
"No, I have to send off Brother Chao Gai." Luda muttered to himself, put the money in the cabinet and put it away, and hurriedly walked to the inn outside the city, and when he arrived at the inn, he asked the man: "What about my brother Chao Gai from Yuncheng." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Lu Ti is here, they are in a hurry, and they will leave before dawn, and they will be able to go out for dozens of miles." I also left you a horse, saying that it was to give you a leg strength, and you can take it away. ”
"What, leave a horse for the Sprinkle family?" Ruda exclaimed.
"Yes, exactly."
The shopkeeper led Luda to the horses in the backyard of the inn, and there was a large gray horse tied to the stable, twenty centimeters higher than ordinary horses, and the weight could be more than 1,500 catties, which was twice that of ordinary horses.
"What kind of horse is this, and how is it so huge?" Ruda asked.
Xiao Er shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, the guest officer surnamed Chao said, what kind of horse is this Rakshasa Country, with huge strength, what kind of heavy horse is it." ”
The saddle of the harness is also ready-made, and Lu Dafei got on the horse, and the fat body of more than 200 pounds rode on other horses, and the horse couldn't bear it, but this heavy horse didn't feel it at all, and went out on the street at a trot.
Luda said: "This Chao Gai brother treats me too harshly, and I will repay him in the future." ”
Dozens of miles away, Chao Gai and others were resting on the side of the road and eating some pastries. Li Kui also had a lot of complaints, and said: "My brother is eccentric, that big ploughing horse runs fast and has strong strength, I have always wanted to give it to me, and today I left it to the Luda brothers." ”
Chao Gai said with a straight face: "Isn't it going to be beaten again, what's wrong with your big ploughing horse, if you feel that your horse is not good, you can exchange it with Pang Wanchun's horse." ”
"Brother, it's not okay if I'm wrong. Pang Wanchun's horse is as thin as a chicken cub, but he can't change it with him. Li Kuiyang begged.
Wu Yong sighed: "Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and the Luda brothers are rare generals, and it is even more rare that this person is broad-minded, helpful, and kind-hearted and not polluted by the world." ”
Chao Gai said: "Go back quickly, it will take twenty or thirty days to go this way, and I am afraid that the fleet of the Hu Cheng brothers has already returned to Yuncheng." ”
