Chapter 6: Fellow Travelers
"I didn't expect you to be a little guy who could shoot the uncle's big knife?" Deng Fei waved the big knife in his hand and laughed: "Haha, let's let the uncle see how much ability you have?" After speaking, he didn't care about Ke Rong's reply, shouted, and rushed towards Ke Rong like a mad cow with a big knife.
"Dangdangdang" Several metal collisions sounded in a row, and Ke Rong and Deng Fei had already gone through several rounds in an instant. The fight was very intense, and everyone watching was dumbfounded. Deng Fei's body is very tall, just like a moving black iron tower, and every swing of the knife will bring a "whirring" wind sound, which is very domineering. Compared to Deng Fei, Ke Rong was obviously weak, but his agile figure like a monkey climbing in the woods skillfully defused every attack of Deng Fei.
After dozens of rounds, Deng Fei was very annoyed with Ke Rong who was dodging left and right, so he shouted and raised his big knife and slashed at Ke Rong's head. Ke Rong quickly flashed in the face of the big knife that fell from above, and Deng Fei's big knife filled the void and slashed at a poplar tree behind Ke Rong, and actually cut off the thigh-thick poplar tree with one knife.
The top half of the poplar tree that had been cut off slowly fell to the top of the mountain road, raising a puff of dust and falling between Ke Rong and Deng Fei, separating the two.
Ke Rong and Deng Fei stood vigilantly on both sides of the poplar tree, waiting for the dust to dissipate, and at this time, Deng Fei gasped for breath and looked a little tired, on the other hand, Ke Rong was still staring at Deng Fei so calmly without the slightest hint of exhaustion.
After the dust dissipated, Deng Fei shouted angrily and kicked the poplar tree in the middle at Ke Rong, Ke Rong saw this, jumped up, raised his right foot and kicked the poplar at Deng Fei again. Deng Fei picked up the big knife and cut off the poplar tree that was attacking him, rushed to Ke Rong with the big knife and slashed straight at Ke Rong's head. Ke Rong raised the steel fork above his head with both hands, trying to block the big knife that was about to fall.
"Click" Deng Fei's big knife cut off Ke Rong's steel fork, and the speed did not decrease in the slightest and slashed towards Ke Rong's head. At the moment when the big knife fell, Ke Rong's extremely fast body flashed, and the big knife fell short again. Ke Rong dodged the big knife without the slightest pause, he grabbed Deng Fei's body and leaned forward, raised his right foot and kicked Deng Fei the back of the head. Deng Fei, who kicked it, climbed forward and raised a puff of dust on the mountain road.
Deng Fei lay on the ground and spit out a mouthful of sand with blood, and when he wanted to get up again, Ke Rong kicked Deng Fei in the stomach again, and Deng Fei, who kicked directly, dropped the big knife in his hand and flew half a meter away, as if a mountain had collapsed, smashing the hard mountain road out of a deep pit and raising a burst of dust.
Everyone present was stunned by this scene, Chen Kui's gang reacted after a while, and applauded, and Zhang Hao and the other group of robbers were already frightened to the point that their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled, they all understood how powerful Deng Fei's ability was, but what they never expected was that this inconspicuous little guy in front of them would defeat him easily.
After the dust dissipated, Deng Fei coughed violently, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and lay on his back on the mountain road, unable to get up again. When Ke Rong walked up to him, Deng Fei looked at Ke Rong and laughed hideously: "Haha, cool, so cool!" ”
Ke Rong saw that when he raised his fist and was about to hit Deng Fei's temple, Zhang Hao shouted anxiously: "Don't."
Hearing this, Ke Rong stopped his fist, turned to stare at Zhang Hao, and asked coldly, "What?" ”
"Please raise your hand!" Zhang Hao took two steps forward and knelt on the ground and begged: "Please let my brother go, I will let you cross the mountain." ”
Hearing this, the minions behind Zhang Hao also reacted, and they all knelt on the ground and begged.
"En," Ke Rong looked at the people kneeling on the ground and was a little overwhelmed, he didn't have the idea of killing people in his heart, but Deng Fei's ruthless move just now made Ke Rong feel an impulse. He puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I will spare your life this time, if you dare to have a next time, I will take your life, don't get out quickly." ”
Hearing Ke Rong's words, Zhang Hao and the others kowtowed to Ke Rong a few times as if they were amnesty, and then ran to Deng Fei's side, helped Deng Fei up, and ran into the woods in a panic.
After the robbers left, Chen Kui and the others also got up one after another, gathered around Ke Rong's side and thanked him more than once, Ke Rong looked at the adoring eyes and grateful eyes of everyone, and for the first time a heroic spirit rose in his heart.
The middle-aged man who fell from the carriage just now saw that Ke Rong let go of the robbers so easily, and wanted to say something or do something, but when he saw the embarrassed appearance of his subordinates, he didn't dare to make any more moves, so he took the girl hiding in the car to Ke Rong's side and hugged his fist and said: "Under Chen Tao, thank you for the little hero's rescue." ”
"Under Ke Rong," Ke Rong couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard the little hero's this, so he scratched his head and said, "Don't take it to heart about small things." ”
"A real hero is a boy!" Chen Tao praised with emotion, pulled over the girl behind him and introduced to Ke Rong: "This is the little girl Chen Ling'er below. ”
At this time, Chen Linger's face was very pale, maybe she was frightened by what happened just now, or because the makeup was too thick, although she was not beautiful in the country, but she also had a noble charm, plus her unusually bright and gorgeous clothes made many men fascinated. But these are not too lethal for Ke Rong, but which set of clothes of hers opened Ke Rong's eyes, although Ke Rong had seen clothes that were a hundred times more gorgeous than this before, but Ke Rong at that time was not in the mood to appreciate the clothes at all, and now he has to calm down a little, and when he looks at Chen Ling'er's clothes again, they look extremely gorgeous.
"It's so beautiful," Ke Rong looked at Chen Ling'er and said in amazement, hearing this, Chen Ling'er's face suddenly turned crimson, but a sense of pride also rose in her heart, and at this time Ke Rong continued: "It's so beautiful... Oh clothes! ”
"This is the clothes that Cousin Tianxi customized for me with the brocade given to him by the boy, can it not be beautiful?" Chen Ling'er gently softened her clothes with her white fingers, and an unconcealable sense of happiness welled up in her heart.
"Who is the boy?" Ke Rong asked with some embarrassment.
"Ahh You don't even know the famous boys, do you? Chen Linger said "hillbilly" with a disdainful face, and then didn't bother to pay attention to Ke Rong, and turned around and walked to the carriage alone.
"Don't be surprised if the child is ignorant!" Chen Tao looked at Ke Rong, who bowed his head because of shame, and explained: "Tong Gongzi is Tong Lin, the grandson of the former prime minister Tong Guan, he inherited his grandfather's Wanguan family wealth, and he is already one of the richest people in our Great Song Dynasty!" However, his martial arts skills are superb and his skills are outstanding, and he is the only candidate to win the championship in this year's martial arts competition. ”
Ke Rong didn't understand what was going on at all, and looked at Chen Tao blankly. What Chen Tao said was a completely otherworldly affair for Ke Rong.
Seeing this, Chen Tao shook his head helplessly, turned around to pick up the burden thrown to Deng Fei, and took out ten taels of silver from the bag and handed it to Ke Rong and said, "These ten taels of silver are given to you, as my thanks." ”
Ke Rong's eyes lit up as he stared at the white silver. He has never seen much silver since he was a child, and as long as he has this silver, he will not worry about eating and drinking for the past few years. He was a little confused in the face of so much silver, he couldn't believe that he would encounter such a good thing, and asked Chen Tao in disbelief: "These are for me."
"Of course, this is all my reward for you," Chen Tao looked at Ke Rong's gaffe and said with some pride: "Some people may not be able to earn this money for a lifetime, but now it's all yours." ”
Ke Rong stared at the silver with his eyes, and he didn't understand what Chen Tao said at all, and when he reached out to take the silver, his mother's teachings sounded in his mind: "You have noble blood flowing in your body, don't accept other people's alms casually, degrade your dignity, and insult the reputation of your ancestors." Thinking of this, Ke Rong's body trembled suddenly, and then his hands that took the silver changed direction, returned the silver to Chen Tao and said, "I have received your kindness, but I won't accept the silver!" ”
"Huh?" Everyone present shouted in surprise, Ke Rong's surprise was no less than the surprise caused by the battle between him and Deng Fei, and even stronger than him. In their opinion, it is a matter of course to save people's lives, and it is a matter of course to accept people's thanks, and how much money is given, they never expect that this little guy in front of them who looks like a beggar would refuse these silver, which is simply ridiculous and absurd.
Chen Tao handed the silver to Ke Rong again and again, and after Ke Rong's firm refusal, he took back the silver with some embarrassment, gave Ke Rong a thumbs up and smiled: "Treating money as dung, it's really terrifying, okay," although Chen Tao smiled on his face, he secretly scolded Ke Rong with contempt in his heart, "Such a fool deserves to live a poor life." ”
Ke Rong didn't pay too much attention to everyone's expressions, and thought about what he was doing, and suddenly he thought of something and asked Chen Tao, "Where are you going?" Are you going to Shandong? ”
"We're going to Kaifeng to watch the martial arts competition, and my nephew Tian Xi also participated!" After speaking, Chen Tao asked with some doubts: "Are you going to Shandong?" ”
"En" Ke Rong nodded and said, "I'm going to Shandong to find my father." ”
"Don't you know that now Shandong does not belong to the Song Dynasty, but to the Jin Kingdom!" Chen Tao reminded the ignorant Ke Rong: "Where is the chaos now! ”
"Hasn't Shandong always been the place of our country?" Ke Rong asked a little puzzled, "Why did it suddenly become the Kingdom of Jin?" ”
"I can't beat it," Chen Tao said impatiently in the face of Ke Rong's material: "The emperor ran to health and lost the place north of the Yangtze River to the Jin people, now where the Jin people are burning, killing and looting, where you go will be sent to death." ”
"No matter how dangerous it is, I must go somewhere to find my father," Ke Rong didn't pay attention to the danger, there was only one thing in his heart, and that was to find his father.
"If you insist on going, then I won't advise you anything," Chen Tao was already surprised by Ke Rong's unusual behavior, so he suggested to Ke Rong: "If you go to Shandong, you have to pass through Kaifeng, so we can go together, as for the food and accommodation on the road, I will arrange it, what do you think?" ”
As for Chen Tao's suggestion, Ke Rong happily agreed.
Seeing that Ke Rong agreed, Chen Tao's face also showed a trace of joy, because he knew that having Ke Rong was much more useful than his useless guards, so he turned his face very satisfied, glanced at the injured horses, and then said to everyone with some regret: "Don't worry about these injured horses, just throw them to the robbers," Chen Tao said this, and got into the carriage and shouted to the coachman: "Hurry." ”
"Drive," with Chen Tao's shout, the coachman took the carriage off, while Ke Rong, Chen Kui and the others supported each other and followed the carriage to the road.
