Xiao Wu and Xia Xiang are almost the same height, slightly shorter by half a point, at this time, he removed his disguise, but he also had thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite mighty. There are also three points of heroism between the eyebrows, and there is a simple meaning in the eyes.

Xia Xiang has a little more good impression of Xiao Wu in his heart, Xiao Wu's nature is not bad, he robbed the Tao for his livelihood, he is also kind, and he has a sense of awe that he does not dare to hurt people, which is worthy of affirmation, and immediately said: "In Xia Xiaxiang, Lingshou Zhongshan Village people." Passing through here, it is to enter Beijing to catch the exam. ”

Xiao Wu saw Xia Xiang's ragged clothes before, thinking that he was a nearby villager, and he didn't want to be a scholar, so he was solemn in his heart, hurriedly took a step back, and bowed deeply: "It turns out that Mr. is a scholar, damn it, damn it." ”

Since the summer, Taizu has ordered not to kill scholars and doctors, and there is an atmosphere of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and the status of literati is above everyone. After Taizong succeeded to the throne, he set up a rule that non-Jinshi could not enter the cabinet, and for a while, Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty was a scholar. And because the salaries of the officials of this dynasty are very generous, if you want to be rich, you must study. The persuasion poem of Zhenzong, the third emperor of Great Xia, - the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu...... It is still the teachings of the sages in the minds of the people, second only to the words of the saints.

Xia Xiang returned the salute: "Don't blame those who don't know, you didn't hurt me." But don't be a robber in the future, it's not the right way to go. ”

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Listen to Mr. and stop robbing the road." I have the strength to go to the county to sell coolies, which can be regarded as a legitimate livelihood. ”

"That's it, that's it." Xia Xiang was secretly happy in his heart, and thought for a while, "It just so happens that you and I are traveling together to go to the county seat together, and we will have a good response along the way, how about it?" ”

Xiao Wu was moved in his heart, Xia Xiang not only did not blame him for his offense, but also walked with him as a scholar, which was a great honor for him. ”

The two went down the mountain together.

"Sir, there is one thing I have been unable to figure out, please help me answer it. The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, helping the world and the people, and serving the country loyally, but it was done by men, I also want to be loyal to the king and serve the country, but there is no way to serve the country, what should I do? ”

"Serving the country is not only a way to study, you can also join the army, or do business, the atmosphere of Daxia is clear, and business is not a cheap job."

"I don't know how to do business, and I can't join the army......"

"Why not?"

"I can't remember the password, I'm afraid I'll miss a big thing."

"......" Xia Xiang was speechless, "The Hutuo River has a wharf in the county seat, and there are many ships that transport goods back and forth, and they need to transport goods by hand. ”

"When the coolie is down, there is nothing, I am afraid that if I accidentally fall into the river and drown, I will not be able to swim."

Xia Xiang almost rolled his eyes: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is it possible that you still want to be a robber?" ”

"I am willing to follow Mr. and follow the work of dogs and horses." Xiao Wu stopped and bowed, "May Mr. take in the little one, and the little one will follow him to the death." ”

Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, and smiled casually: "Not to mention that you don't know anything, even if I want to take you in, I can't do anything, do you look at me, like a rich man?" I can't even support myself, let alone you. ”

Xiao Wu bent down and picked up a pebble the size of an egg: "Don't hide it, sir, I don't know anything, I will shoot birds......"

At the beginning of the day, the east was white, and Xia Xiang and Xiao Wu had already come to the Hutuo River at this time. The river was flowing with a tumultuous flow, and the sun fell on it, shimmering a faint golden yellow. The distant mountains are gradually waking up, and the birds in the forest are constantly rising and falling.

Xiao Wuwei bent over, his wrist was forced, and the stone in his hand flew away, instantly submerged into the dense leaves, and after a "bang", a few leaves fell to the ground, not to mention hitting the bird, not even a bird feather.

Xiao Wu scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I missed, come again." ”

"Slow." Xia Xiangcai smiled, the smile on his face froze, his eyes looked behind Xiao Wu in horror, and his voice trembled slightly, "Xiao Wu, don't act rashly, squat down slowly, yes, take a stone in your left and right hands, the bigger the better." Don't look back, stand up slowly and do what I say......"

Xiao Wu was still a little panicked at first, he didn't know what was going on, and then he calmed down again, what did Xia Xiang say, what did he do, and slowly stood up, he and Xia Xiang stood opposite each other, and saw the panic in Xia Xiang's eyes.

Xia Xiang's gaze crossed Xiao Wu and fell three feet behind Xiao Wu, he took a step back, pondered for a moment, and suddenly made up his mind: "The stone in the left hand is thrown to the right, the stone in the right hand is thrown to the left, and the arms are stretched, just like ...... That's right, the white crane has bright wings. ”

"The left hand stone throws the right hand stone to the left" The words made Xiao Wuyi confused, I don't know what to say, just when he wanted to ask for an understanding, "White Crane Bright Wings" exited, his eyes lit up, as if a sleeping leopard woke up instantly, stimulating the primitive wildness, his arms were divided in front of his chest, his hands came out, "hey", and the two stones in his hands flew behind him like arrows.

When he turned around, Xiao Wu could see clearly that three feet away behind him, there was a gray wolf with green eyes. The gray wolf is more than half a human tall, with bright fur, fierce eyes, and fangs.

Seeing that the two stones were about to hit the gray wolf, one left and one right, the gray wolf let out a long cry, jumped into the air, and dodged the attack of the two stones, and pounced towards Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu had no stone in his hand - he could only fight birds, and he had no stone in his hand like a soldier without a weapon - he panicked for a moment, and retreated again and again, not paying attention to a protruding stone under his feet, and was tripped and fell to the ground.

On the river beach, there were pebbles of different sizes everywhere, and after Xiao Wu fell, he was in a hurry, grabbed a stone with both hands, and threw it with his hands. However, due to being too nervous, the gray wolf was in the air again, and the head was not accurate enough, so he did not hit.

Fortunately, in order to avoid the stones, the gray wolf twisted in the air, causing a deviation in the direction of landing, so he did not pounce directly on Xiao Wu. As soon as the gray wolf landed, he roared, jumped up again, opened his mouth, and bit Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was frightened, rolled on the spot, and shouted for help: "Sir, save me." ”

Xia Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, Xiao Wu wanted to follow Zhou Quan who was on his side to protect him, but now he couldn't even deal with a wolf, how could he deal with a master of martial arts? It's just a joke in the world. If you don't have the power to protect yourself, how can you protect others?

It's just that this is not the time to blame Xiao Wu, Xia Xiang intends to help, but he is powerless, although he is not a weak scholar who is powerless, but he is not a scholar who can pick up a sword and write on a horse. He picked up a stone, raised his hand and threw it, but his head was too poor and he threw it directly into the river.

In a hurry, when he saw that the gray wolf was about to pounce on Xiao Wu, Xia Xiang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and remembered that there were many martial arts cheats in some miscellaneous books that Li Dingshan asked him to read. At that time, he was just looking around, and he didn't have the heart to learn martial arts, but he had a strong memory and remembered many moves.

Remember, remember, Xia Xiang will not perform, he will only talk on paper, not actually operate.

At this moment, a move flashed in Xia Xiang's mind, and he immediately shouted: "The carp fights." ”

Carp stiffening is a very common trick, people lie flat on the ground, with the support of both hands and the strength of the waist from the ground to jump, just like the carp rolling, hence the name carp stiff.

However, it is easier said than done, and many people are unable to make a carp jump up.

Xiao Wu was already tired of running for his life, but when he heard Xia Xiang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then lay down on the spot, bent his legs forward, and then stretched out his legs and kicked ...... The gray wolf who jumped up in the air and pounced on Xiao Wu was in mid-air, and was secretly proud to be about to pounce, but when he saw Xiao Wu's legs kicking head-on, he wanted to dodge where it was too late, and was kicked by Xiao Wu's legs.

The gray wolf screamed, was kicked more than a foot away, fell to the ground, rolled over, unwilling to fail, and rushed straight again.

Xia Xiang was stunned.

Is that okay too? He just shouted out a move, but Xiao Wu performed it in style, and then remembered that as soon as he said "White Crane Bright Wings" just now, Xiao Wu also waved it suddenly, could it be that he said what Xiao Wu could do?

Thinking like this, Xia Xiang did not hesitate, seeing that the gray wolf rushed over again without fear of death, he thought that the weakest part of the wolf's body was the wolf's legs, and said loudly: "Sweep thousands of troops!" ”

Sweeping thousands of troops sounds extraordinary, but in fact, falling on the martial arts move is to sweep the legs, Xia Xiang regretted it as soon as he spoke, he should directly say how good it is to sweep the legs, in case Xiao Wu doesn't understand, wouldn't he miss the big thing? But it was useless to repent, and the gray wolf was already one step away from Xiao Wu.

The gray wolf was struck a blow, learned wisely, and no longer jumped into the air, but slowly approached Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was no longer as flustered as before because of the successful blow just now, but he still glanced back at Xia Xiang, and saw that Xia Xiang was standing behind him, although he was a little flustered, he had no intention of escaping, so he was a little more determined.

As soon as Xia Xiang's "Sweeping Thousands of Armies" exited, Xiao Wu seemed to wake up from his sleeping memory, he bent over, took his left leg as the fulcrum, and swept his right leg, coming out with one leg, right in the front leg of the gray wolf.

Xiao Wu not only moved quickly and in place, but also handled the strength very accurately, the gray wolf was caught off guard, his front legs were swept away, and he fell to the ground, wailing constantly.

Losing the support of his front legs, the gray wolf was no longer powerless to hurt people, and wanted to struggle, but he couldn't, his eyes showed unwillingness, and he glared at Xiao Wu fiercely.

Xiao Wu is still afraid of the gray wolf who has lost his combat effectiveness, and he doesn't need Xia Xiang's command anymore, he picks up a stone, deliberately takes a dozen steps back, and throws it with his hand a few feet away, and the stone hits the gray wolf's head. The gray wolf snorted, and the seven orifices bled to death.

"Sir......" Xiao Wuqing knew that his performance just now was unsatisfactory, and he apologized to Xia Xiang with a look of shame, "The little one is useless, and he can't even protect himself, let alone protect Mr. The little faceless one accompanies Mr. anymore and says goodbye. ”

Xia Xiang Muran nodded, didn't speak, and watched Xiao Wu turn around and leave.

One zhang, two zhang, ten zhang, until Xiao Wu walked out of the ten zhang and still didn't look back, Xia Xiang smiled with relief, he wanted to test Xiao Wu's determination. Just now, he pointed out that Xiao Wu in the East would never fight in the West, which made him realize that his cooperation with Xiao Wu might be able to achieve unexpected results.

But if you really want to keep Xiao Wu by your side, one is to be absolutely loyal, and the other is to make him completely obedient, Xia Xiang has made up his mind, and shouted calmly at Xiao Wu's back: "Haidilao Moon, Two Dragons Play with Pearls, Flowers and Trees, Stars and ......"

As Xia Xiang said every move, Xiao Wu followed suit, and every time he made a move, it was exactly the same as the description in the martial arts cheats that Xia Xiang saw, just like comparing the martial arts cheats drill, which made Xia Xiang both surprised and magical.

"The first type, the knot is high and the heart is weak, the shape is like a fighting rabbit, hovering and uncertain. The second type, the rain beats the wind and bullies, looks like catching rats, and waits for it. The third type, the frost and snow stop, the air is like a flywheel, and the cycle is endless. The fourth style, the dew and the smoke ......" Xia Xiang said for more than half an hour in one breath, Xiao Wu's hands and feet did not stop, as long as Xia Xiang said the move, he could do it, just like Xia Xiang's arms.

Xia Xiang deliberately said a few wrong moves, it was a move that he made up casually without his own martial arts cheats, and sure enough, Xiao Wu wouldn't know, so he vaguely guessed something in his heart.

Along the Hutuo River all the way to the east, you can reach Lingshou County in two hours. Parallel to the river is an official road, which has been in disrepair for a long time, also because there are not many vehicles passing through the year. In addition to the unevenness, there are also overgrown weeds. But after all, it's an avenue, and it's much better than a mountain path.

Xia Xiang and Xiao Wuyi went one after the other, and Anbu was in the car.

The green mountains and green waters, the forests are deep and the mountains are secluded, and there is no one for half a day.

Xia Xiang turned around and glanced at Xiao Wu lightly: "Xiao Wu, you grew up next to your brother and sister-in-law when you were a child?" ”

Xiao Wubi bowed down respectfully and replied, "Mr. Hui, the youngest has only been by my brother and sister-in-law since I was fifteen years old. ”

If it is said that before the Battle of the Gray Wolf, Xiao Wu's respect for Xia Xiang was the habit of respecting scholars under the social atmosphere, then after the Battle of the Gray Wolf, his respect for Xia Xiang was sincere and convinced. Although he also wondered why Xia Xiang could perform the move when he said it, he couldn't figure out the reason and didn't think about it anymore, but he remembered one thing deeply - if there was no Xia Xiang, he would have been buried in the wolf's belly!

Xia Xiang is his life-saving benefactor, life-saving grace, grace and reconstruction, and he has regarded Xia Xiang as the main one for the rest of his life since then.

"Before the age of fifteen?" Xia Xiang felt more and more that Xiao Wu's life experience was very problematic.

"Before the age of fifteen...... I can't remember exactly, but it seems like I'm running around with my father. Xiao Wu held his head in his hands, his eyebrows were distorted, and his expression was painful, "As long as I think of what happened before the age of fifteen, I have a headache, sir, don't ask me again, okay?" My brother said that when I was fifteen years old, I had a serious illness, and after I got better, I became much more stupid than before. ”

Xia Xiang was not reluctant, and he was even more thoughtful in his heart: "Follow me in the future, one, you have to learn to read." Second, you have to practice martial arts. Three, I haven't thought about it yet, but I'm obedient anyway. ”

"Yes, sir." Xiao Wuxi couldn't help it, as long as he could follow Xia Xiang and let him go to the soup, he would not hesitate to do anything.
