Chapter 754: Ambushing the Newcomer
But the iron spear in Jiang Yanchao's hand actually resisted the thunderous blow of this sharp axe!
The boy was far away from the blow, and he tried to breathe, and although it was winter, beads of sweat still oozed from his forehead.
Lin Yiqing knew that the heavy blow just now must have made the young man's arms feel unbearable, and he was trying to ease himself, but he did not step forward to continue the attack.
For the young man in front of him, he had a love in his heart.
This kid, if he can be trained, will definitely become an excellent special forces!
But now, he had to defeat the kid and convince him!
After the deathly silence in the auditorium, a thunderous cheer erupted.
Jiang Yanchao felt the blood flow gradually return to his arms, and his consciousness slowly recovered, he looked at the iron spear in his hand, and saw a clear white mark on the spear.
This iron spear has been with him for many years, he has thirsted for the blood of the fiercest murderers, experienced countless sharp blades, and only mottled scars, but today, there is a real scar.
How could this man in front of him be so terrifying?
The man who helped me, why should I remember his name?
Will I be able to defeat him?
Jiang Yanchao's mind was full of chaotic thoughts for a while, and he immediately realized the danger - the master made a move, only in an instant, if Lin Yiqing launched an attack just now, the loss of consciousness just now would undoubtedly be fatal.
But Lin Yiqing didn't move, just stood there, looking at him silently.
He sensed that there seemed to be a hint of fatherly concern in the terrible man's eyes. I can't help but feel a warm heart. But he immediately realized that the battlefield was the same now as it was then. Thinking of those bloody days, his eyes widened, and he roared, and rushed towards Lin Yiqing again.
He wants to win this martial champion!
He doesn't want to live a life of poverty and precariousness again!
He should no longer be seen as a bandit and a rebel!
He wants to be with his beloved Ah Lian forever! Give her a stable and happy life!
As soon as he moved, Lin Yiqing also moved.
Before the man arrives, the axe arrives first.
Lin Yiqing's axe can be said to have used all his strength, because just now, he had already seen it clearly. The boy in front of him has become a completely different person.
If he shows mercy at this time, he is playing with his own life.
Seeing the giant axe spinning and flying head-on, Jiang Yan let out a loud shout, and swept with all his strength with both hands, and the giant axe was deflected by this blow, but it still almost hit him.
But at that moment, Lin Yiqing appeared in front of him.
Because he used all his strength, it was impossible for Jiang Yanchao to withdraw his spear and fight back, he took advantage of the momentum to fly and kick at Lin Yiqing, but Lin Yiqing suddenly dodged. The probe gripped the hilt of the axe that flew to the side.
The two landed almost at the same time, and the audience watched the thrilling fight. All applauded.
At the moment of landing, Jiang Yanchao jumped up again, flew down in the air, and threw the iron spear in his hand at Lin Yiqing.
This is his most powerful move!
When he was young, he was in the Silk Army, and it was with this trick that he killed many fierce enemies!
But this time, after he used this trick, he suddenly regretted it a little.
Will the man named Lin Yiqing die under this trick?
Isn't it to repay this man's favor?
But in the blink of an expectation, the situation took a sharp turn.
He saw Lin Yiqing once again blocking his body with the axe face of a giant axe, but this time, he was facing his iron spear with an inclined attitude.
The sharp tip of the iron spear slashed across the surface of the giant axe, and with a spark, it sank straight into the wooden ring!
Jiang Yanchao's heart sank, and his body suddenly became sluggish.
Of course, Lin Yiqing would not let go of this opportunity, and in the midst of this lightning and flint, Lin Yiqing had already rushed to his approach.
He saw the shiny axe and knew he had nothing to dodge, so he couldn't help but turn his head.
He wanted to take another look at Ah Lian before he died.
When Lin Yiqing swung his axe and slapped, he suddenly saw the strange movements of the young man, and his heart brightened, and he immediately collected a little strength.
"Bang!" The axe slammed into the boy's body, and the boy's body flew out of the ring like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah Lian......" Jiang Yanchao felt that he was plunged into darkness......
Seeing Jiang Yanchao fall out of the ring, Ah Lian's eyes darkened and she fainted.
In a trance, time seems to have gone back to two years ago......
It was the summer of two years ago, and Ah Lian slipped out of the house before dawn, jumped on a tree, and looked out towards the river. The river was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly. Yesterday I painted the float white, but it still didn't work. Ah Lian slid down from the tree and ran towards the river, her soft shoes stepping on the dense grass, and the sound was almost inaudible.
Yesterday Ah Lian had just gotten a net, and she couldn't wait to spread it by the river at night. I didn't sleep well all night, but also to see the harvest in the net as soon as possible.
The more Ah Lian went to the river, the more careful she became, for fear that the noise would be too loud and scare away the fish in the net. She tiptoed closer, and was about to reach for the net, when she suddenly saw two people standing not far away, and couldn't help but be startled and screamed.
The two men were as motionless as statues, but when they heard Ah Lian's exclamation, they moved their hands almost at the same time. The man in the dark brown tights held a thing with a tube in his hand, and when he shook it, a little spark burst out of the mouth of the pipe, and he went straight to the door of the young man in the gray robe. The young man dodged away, raised his hand and pointed something with a pipe at the other, shouted something, and with a loud bang, a flame erupted straight out of his hand. The flame was still a few feet from the brown man, who burned like oiled wood, and with a cry, he jumped straight into the river, and the water boiled like a boiling pot.
Just as he was at a loss, three people fell from a few trees beside him, dressed in the same dark brown clothes as the one just now. The three of them vaguely formed a circle, surrounding the young man in the gray robe in the middle. A few sparks burst out of everyone's hands. Attack the young man.
The young man was obviously taken aback, too. As he lay on the spot, a fire suddenly rose around him, and the sparks disappeared. Ah Lian was out of breath, only to hear a soft sound, a man in black clothes suddenly flew out of the treetops, the bowstring in his hand buzzed, and the vest of the gray-shirted young man who was half-kneeling on the ground revealed the tail feathers of an arrow, which was still trembling. That one jumped to the ground. A sneer was heard.
Ah Lian felt that her whole body was trembling, and her only thought was to run away quickly. But her body did not obey, she took two steps back, accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, only to feel her back hit a solid tree.
The three brown-clothed men walked towards the young man struggling on the ground, and the black-clothed one walked towards Ah Lian, pulling out a dagger from his side at random.
Seeing the cold light reflected by the dagger's blade, Ah Lian felt that this time she was dead. For some reason, she felt calm in her heart and quickened her mind. She leaned against the tree behind her. Slowly curl up your legs, your hands groping behind you. Found a rock the size of a fist.
Even if he is going to die, he must leave some memorial.
She stared into the man's eyes, and suddenly felt that the man was unusually thin. Who could he be? Ah Lian suddenly thought of the legendary killer sent by the imperial court to kill the disobedient minister. Heard in the past...... This time, I finally saw the real thing.
The three brown-clad men gathered around the young man, as if looking for something in him. Suddenly, several terrible howls rang out, and the people also burned like pillars of fire. The man in black was startled and turned his head sharply, but the dagger in his hand shot out towards Ah Lian.
Ah Lian reacted surprisingly quickly, turned to one side, her body burst up, and the stone in her hand smashed into the back of the black-clothed man's head. The dagger flew past her arm, slicing a slit in her sleeve and nailing it to the tree behind her.
The man in black had already opened a longbow in his hand, and a feathered arrow was already on the string. The young man in the gray shirt was the target of the arrow, and he closed his eyes, as if he had lost hope.
The stone hit the target. The black-clad man's fingers loosened, and the arrow flew out weakly and landed on the grass not far away. The man in black slowly fell, and glanced back at Ah Lian, as if he wondered what the defenseless girl had attacked him.
Ah Lian watched in amazement as blood flowed down the head of the man in black, and suddenly burst into tears.
I don't know how long she cried, but Ah Lian suddenly felt that someone was touching her. She jumped to her feet and kicked it with all her might. In the misty teary eyes, there was a gray mass wriggling under his feet. Ah Lian stopped suddenly, wiped away her tears, and took a closer look, it was the young man in gray shirt. He was curled up like a shrimp, the wound on his back still bleeding, and he had soaked a large patch of clothing.
Ah Lian looked around, there were several piles of black ash still smoking, and the man in black not far from him was still lying on the ground. She picked up a small rock and threw it at it, but there was no reaction at all. Ah Lian had the courage to pull the dagger from the tree, carefully walked up to the man in black, and stabbed it with the tip of the knife, but it still had no effect. She flipped him over with her foot. The man in black stared blankly at the sky, having been dead for a long time. Ah Lian dragged the man in black by his feet and wanted to throw him into the river, but suddenly changed her mind. She dragged the man in black behind a tree and covered it with some weeds.
The gray-shirted young man was not dead, but he was weak. Ah Lian put him on his back and stumbled towards the house.
Ah Lian's parents died early, and they had no other relatives, so they wandered in the woods at the age of twelve or thirteen. She was naturally intelligent and dexterous, and at the age of fifteen she had brought back more rabbits than the adults in the village. She planted a small vegetable plot by herself, exchanged sun-dried rabbit meat and nitrated rabbit skin for some salt and ironware, and lived a prosperous life. At the beginning, the villagers came to help her, but later it became her sending things to the lonely and widowed elderly people in the village. Everyone said that Ah Lian was a good boy.
This time, the good boy in the village also ran into problems. What should such a half-dead person do? Ah Lian threw the young man on her bed, a little at a loss. There were no big beasts in the woods, and Ah Lian had only seen anyone bitten by a wolf, and no one had been pierced by an arrow like this. If you don't care about it, you have to bandage it first to stop the bleeding.
Ah Lian cut the young man's robe, boiled a basin of hot water, gently wiped the blood around the wound, and pulled out the arrow. The young man had a small hole in his chest, and the blood was still oozing out. Ah Lian remembers hearing about it. A deep wound in the chest can easily kill someone. But now we can only take one step at a time. She helped the young man to sit up. Wiped the blood stains on his back, the young man seemed to have lost consciousness, only a few times occasionally, and his body couldn't stop falling backwards. Ah Lian found a piece of clean clothes, cut them into long strips, and wrapped the young man's body around and around them, but worried that it would not be enough, she simply cut the young man's own long shirt into strips. It was until the man was wrapped like a ball.
Ah Lian wiped the sweat from her head and thought about what else she had to do. The old people said that the injured should eat some meat, and the last time Xiao Shu's father was bitten by a wolf, Ah Lian also sent them fresh rabbit meat. But now this person may not be able to eat any meat, at most drink more porridge. What kind of meat do you put in the porridge? The rabbit meat is gone, and it is all used to change the fishing nets. That's right, fish!
Ah Lian ran towards the river, and the sun was almost overhead.
There was no big catch in this net, and a big hole was broken in the net, and only one fish was netted. Ah Lian stared at the fish, which was still fluttering. Ah Lian uses blades of grass to string the gills of fish. Carrying the fishing net, he walked home dejectedly. I thought I could catch more fish...... It took a lot of rabbit skin to get this net.
See that haystack behind the tree. Ah Lian was even more angry. I was supposed to be fishing well, but I ran here to kill people, but the fish was not caught, not to mention, and there was one more half-dead person to take care of. What's going on?
Ah Lian lifted the weeds, and the man in black was still staring at the sky like that. Ah Lian looked at the empty eyes a little frightened, but she still mustered up the courage to search the clothes of the man in black, and kept muttering: "Who told you that I can't catch fish!" ”
The man in black didn't have a single copper coin on him, but there was something strange. It was a regular square metal sign, the age seemed to be a long time, jet black, with some words engraved on it that Ah Lian couldn't understand, and it was heavy. It can't be silver, right? Ah Lian just wanted to put that thing in her mouth and bite it, but then remembered their method of killing. I don't know what this thing is. Ah Lian threw the body of the man in black into the river, watched it flow down the river, wrapped the thing in a cloth and put it in her arms, picked up the bow of the man in black, and went home.
Ah Lian repaired the nets and was able to catch a few fish every day. The young man had opened his eyes two days later, but he was still unconscious, and his forehead was frighteningly hot. Ah Lian fed him brown rice porridge with fish or rabbit meat every day, but the young man still talked nonsense, sometimes convulsive. Sometimes Ah Lian wants to just throw him into the river, but she can't be ruthless. On the night of the full moon, Ah Lian swore to herself that if he was not awake tomorrow, she would tie him up and throw him into the river, and never regret it again.
The next day, the young man's fever really subsided.
Ah Lian picked up the net and shot two rabbits on the way back. She cut off some rabbit and fish meat, cooked porridge and brought it into the house. She saw the young man leaning on the bed, with a deep dark shadow under his eyes, but his eyes were clear. When he saw Ah Lian come in, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face. "Thank you." He said.
Ah Lian realized that this was the first time she had heard him speak normally. For some reason, she felt her heart skip a beat. She lowered her head and stole a glance at the young man, who was staring at her. She felt a little hot on her face. Suddenly, she felt like she didn't know what to do, so she just put the bowl and spoon on the table. "Eat...... bar. She hurried out of the room and heard her own heartbeat, loud.
Throughout the afternoon, Ah Lian was a little restless. What used to be an easy job is no longer easy. She cut her finger when she skinned a rabbit, and when she dried the fish, she was stolen by a big white cat of the largest fish. She was about to catch the cat, but she fell in the yard. She stood up in frustration, fingers pinching her frayed sleeves, but she froze.
When Ah Lian entered the house, she saw him holding on to the head of the bed, trying to stand up.
"Oh, what are you doing? Sit down. Ah Lian hurriedly went over to help him.
He sat down slowly, still raising his hand to salute: "Jiang Yanchao has seen the master." ”
"Huh? What the? Ah Lian was startled and reached out to touch his forehead: "Fever again?" ”
Jiang Yanchao dodged Ah Lian's hand. "I owe the girl my life."
"Don't call it girl, girl, it sounds awkward. My name is Ah Lian, you can just call me Ah Lian. ”
The next two years were the happiest time for Ah Lian. His hands were very skillful, and within a few days he used clever tricks to win the favor of the children of the whole village. The villagers gradually got used to and liked the young man who always had a gentle smile on his face, who would always appear at some point, magically fix the leaky roof, tie up the crooked fence wall, sharpen the kitchen knife, and then disappear with a smile. Ah Lian's hut was neat and comfortable with him, and his head seemed to be filled with all sorts of useful and useless things, from how to fly a kite to how to grow a skin and vegetables.
When Ah Lian came back from the river, he could always be seen sitting on a big rock in the doorway, his fingers dancing dexterously, surrounded by children who could never get enough of his tricks. This time is one of Ah Lian's favorite times every day. Looking at his bright eyes with a smile, Ah Lian always felt at ease.
Right now......
Where is this?
Ah Lian woke up suddenly.
She was shocked to find herself lying on a bed in a strange cabin.
The cottage is not furnished, but it is very elegant, and there is a small copper incense burner on the small table in the center, which exudes a fragrant smoke and exudes a mysterious atmosphere. But at this time, Ah Lian didn't care about looking at the surrounding environment, she was eager to find Jiang Yanchao.
After looking around, she was shocked to find that he was lying next to her! (To be continued.) )
