37. The road is narrow
"Qingqing, I'll change a set of clothes in a while."
In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Qiu, who had returned to the Suzhou Small Dart Bureau, was unusually unconventional and had no intention of making dinner.
He finished practicing the incomplete Autumn Wind Knife Technique.
While saying a word to Qingqing, who was practicing longitudinal techniques on the other side of the courtyard.
"Let Xiao Tie also change his set, let's go to Yanyu Building to have a good meal at night, and we should give Xiao Tie a good meal."
"Huh?"
Qingqing, who was blindfolded with a black cloth and jumping flexibly on several wooden stakes, suddenly stopped, shook his body, and almost fell off the wooden stakes.
She spread her arms, steadied herself, and stood on a stake with one foot.
He took off the black cloth from his eyes again, and looked at the senior brother who shook his hand and put away the knife in surprise.
She said:
"Senior brother, why are you so generous today? The smoke and rain building alas, the gold cave alas. ”
"I'm also quite annoyed to cook every day."
Shen Qiu also reached out and took off the strip of cloth on his eyes, he glanced at the three tree roots that had been cut by the blade in front of him, and replied casually:
"And I've been in Suzhou for almost a year, and I've never been to such a prosperous place, so I really want to see it... I also made a small fortune in Changsha, so I can't just make money and not enjoy it, right? ”
Qingqing pursed her lips.
She knew what her brother meant by "getting rich".
On that day, when he took the disciples of Xiaoxiang Sword Sect to encircle and suppress the rudder of the Seven Peerless Sects, he came back and carried a small burden.
The bag was filled with all sorts of silver tickets, ingots, and small works of art that looked very valuable.
The Xiaoxiang Sword Sect exterminated the rudder that the Demon Sect had painstakingly managed, the Gate Sect ate meat, and Shen Qiu also drank some soup by the way.
Besides, he and Qingqing maintain this small dart game, and the daily expenses are not much, the mountain ghosts give it, the Heluo Gang Lei Ye gives, and the dividends sent by the Li family's pharmacy every month, these silver coins have almost no place to spend.
After a long time, Shen Qiu also had a sum of money in his hand.
As the little shopkeeper of the dart bureau, Qingqing knows better the amount of those silver taels.
Let's put it this way, even if the dart game is closed, the two brothers and sisters will sit on the mountain in the future, and according to their spending speed, this money can last at least ten years.
For small households, it can really be regarded as a sudden rich.
"I'm going to find Xiao Tie."
Qingqing grinned, smiled, her toes on the stake, and her slender body rolled in the air for a circle, falling to the ground, and she jumped into the front hall in a few ups and downs.
While Shen Qiu was still in the courtyard, he leaned down and looked at the three tree roots in front of him.
Practicing the knife blindfolded just now is one of the practice methods of the Qiu Feng knife technique, which is to exercise the precision of Shen Qiu's knife and the rapid change of the knife style in a small range.
This set of knife techniques from Lei Ye and the Guiyan knife with a big opening and closing are two extremes.
Since the name is Qiufeng knife, it means that this set of knife techniques is a fast knife.
Very fast, fully deployed, just like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, with subtle longitudinal, can make the knife extremely sharp.
On the three roots, there are scattered knife marks, like the autumn wind blowing, irregular, the knife marks into the wood for three points, not deep or shallow, such a force rubbed on the enemy's neck, can easily cut the throat.
Slashing on the arms and legs can destroy the muscles and bones.
Maintaining this kind of strength and swinging the knife will put more pressure on the wrist, but for Shen Qiu's energy consumption, it is much smaller than the fierce Guiyan knife that is full of tiger and tiger wind and murderous aura.
The knife technique is displayed, like an autumn breeze blowing on the face, and in the light knife dance, it contains a swift blade that is three points more powerful than the Guiyan knife.
"Not yet."
Shen Qiu stroked the notches on the roots of the tree, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
The knife marks were scattered and some were too scattered.
This shows that Shen Qiu's accuracy is not enough, and his skills still need to be practiced.
The Autumn Wind Knife Technique is incomplete, and there are a few moves that I have not been able to learn from the martial arts memory of Lei Ye's phantom, but the dance is generally smooth, but the lack of a few moves makes this set of sword techniques not very smooth.
If you don't learn all the moves, you can't connect them, and your power will decrease.
But this was still the best knife technique Shen Qiu could find at the moment.
According to the grade of Jianghu martial arts, it can be regarded as middle and upper-grade, if you can make up for the lack of a few killing moves, it is a real first-class sword technique.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the changes are strange and wonderful.
He rubbed his chin, and when he heard the voices of Qingqing and Xiao Tie in the front hall, he looked back at the long sword on the weapon rack at the back of the courtyard, and Shen Qiu was a little moved.
Do you want to learn swordsmanship?
In my memory, there is such a truth as Xiaoxiang's sword. Superior swordsmanship is equally incomplete.
"Forget it."
Shen Qiu finally gave up, and at this stage, he still focused on knife techniques.
If you are greedy and chew more, he still understands this truth.
He put away the Hongming knife and walked into his room, ready to change his clothes.
Suzhou Yanyu Building, that is a first-class luxury place in Suzhou City, today Shen Qiu can be regarded as going to see the world.
He also invited the Song beggars of the Beggar Gang.
The first is to contact the feelings, this Uncle Song is also a credible person, and the news in the rivers and lakes is quite wide.
Second, Shen Qiu planned to let Song beggars teach Xiao Tie some ways to the rivers and lakes during the banquet.
Especially what Xiao Tie is going to is still the land of Qilu, which is quite chaotic at the moment, and the beggar gang also has power over there.
When encountering something, with the face of Song beggars, Xiao Tie can still help the beggars.
The most important thing is that he went to Qilu to find someone.
In this era, when it comes to finding people, is there anything better than the beggars who help people all over the world?
In the evening, Shen Qiu sat in the carriage of the Luoyue Firm, took the newly dressed Xiao Tie and Qingqing, and went to the Yanyu Building in the center of Suzhou City.
At this time, it was not yet the best time for the business of the Yanyu Building, but the street in front of the building was already full of carriages.
Shen Qiu and the three of them got out of the car, and everywhere they looked, they were all Yingying Yanyan, those sultry dressed women, greeting familiar guests at the door.
And these guests are either rich in their pockets, or they are officials, or they are dressed in scribe's robes and hold paper fans, and they are obviously also romantic figures.
"Uncle Song, come here!"
Qingqing's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw the Song beggar leaning against the wall of the merchant next to him.
The head of this beggar gang is still dressed in an "original" costume called Hanako.
He was in a tattered robe, with his chest open, his gray hair was scattered, and he held a wooden stick with an old red gourd hanging from it.
He seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Qingqing's call, the old beggar's wrinkled face also showed a hint of joy and kindness.
He is Lu Buru's best friend, although he has not appeared in front of Qingqing and Shen Qiu for many years, but he also watched Qingqing grow up, and the old road head unfortunately died, this Qingqing and Shen Qiu are also his juniors.
The old beggar came with a stick, not paying any attention to the disdain or covering his nose by the people around him.
But in fact, although the clothes on Song beggar's body were torn, the pulp was very clean and there was no stench.
Beggars, they are used to seeing the suffering of this world, and the world is hot and cold.
He didn't care about any of that.
Shen Qiu walked to the door with three people, this Yanyulou family has a big business, and the little guy who received him is also smart and dexterous, but he didn't drive him out because of Song Beggar's outfit.
After all, the post in Shen Qiu's hand was set by the manager of the Falling Moon Firm yesterday.
Although Yanyulou is famous, they are still far from being able to face the Falling Moon Merchant Workshop, which has been inherited in Suzhou for several generations and is counted in the entire Jiangnan business district.
Although the Su family is low-key, people in Suzhou who have a little bit of hands know that they are the imperial merchants of the previous dynasty, and the upper-class people in Suzhou are ordinary people who cannot afford to offend.
The four of them followed the little maid to the second floor and sat in the box.
Immediately, the steward of Yanyulou came to pay his respects, talked a lot of words, and sent a few hors d'oeuvres, and then withdrew.
"Oh, the last time I enjoyed myself in this fireworks field, old beggar, was many years ago."
Song beggar leaned back on the high-backed chair, took a sip of good wine, squinted his eyes, obviously very satisfied with the wine, he looked at the surrounding furnishings again, and said to the other people in amazement:
"This Yanyu building is also less than five years old, it is not a time-honored brand, but it is well managed, and it has become the top in Suzhou in just a few years, it is really a good business, I have heard that the song and dance in this building is a must."
"Uncle Song wants to watch singing and dancing, and when the time comes, you can go and see it."
Shen Qiu smiled and filled a glass of wine for the Song beggar, and said:
"Our box is the best location on the second floor, and from the window down, you can see the evening song and dance performance, but we have to wait for half an hour."
He talked a few more words with Song Beggar and talked about Xiaoxiang's trip, and then led the topic to Xiao Tie.
Shen Qiu said to the Song beggar:
"This little brother is a friend of me and Qingqing, and he also works in the dart game, and he is a credible person.
Xiao Tie, pour a glass of wine for Uncle Song. ”
He nodded, and Xiao Tie, who was immersed in eating vegetables, answered quietly, then lifted the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for the Song beggar who was watching him.
The latter's eyes were slightly strange.
Song beggar raised his glass and said:
"I also saw this little brother in the Hanshan Annex that day, but if you didn't say it, I thought he was close to the weak crown, look at this body and bones, this body, could it be a person born with divine power?"
"Uncle Song has good eyesight."
Shen Qiu gave a thumbs up and praised Xiao Tie, saying that Xiao Tie himself was embarrassed.
"Xiao Tie is very powerful!"
Qingqing waved her chopsticks and said to the Song beggar:
"He used an iron rod and killed a Xiaoxiang disciple with one stick, and the bones and bones of the smashed were broken, and they all turned into flesh and mud, I saw it with my own eyes."
"So powerful?"
Song beggar sighed in admiration, and he said in amazement:
"The last time I saw innate divine power, it was the martial arts conference four years ago, I followed the big dragon head to see the world, and I saw the director of the martial arts league with my own eyes, and I didn't need to be really angry, I smashed a hundred catties of boulders with a palm.
That Ren Daxia is also a person born with divine power, if you look at it from this point of view, Xiao Tie's future martial arts future will be unlimited. ”
That's a bit of an exaggeration.
Comparing Xiao Tie, a 14-year-old boy, with the famous martial arts alliance leader, made the young man wave his hand again and again.
There were constantly good wines and delicacies sent into the box, and Shen Qiu saw that Song beggar was drunk, so he told Song beggar about Xiao Tie's going to Qilu, and begged him to teach Xiao Tie a little experience and help by the way.
Song beggar did not hide his selfishness, and immediately talked about the situation in the land of Qilu for Xiao Tie at the wine table.
As the head of the beggar gang, he walked through the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he knew much more news than ordinary people.
Shen Qiu found an excuse and walked out of the box.
Although he was good at drinking in his previous life, such as liquor, beer, foreign wine, vodka, etc., he did not refuse to come, but in this life, his body was not good at drinking, and he was a little drunk after just drinking a few rounds with Song beggars.
He played with the folding fan in his hand, and planned to go to the railing on the second floor to blow the wind and sober up.
The picture of the beauty taking a bath on the folding fan has been taken down by Shen Qiu.
The silk fan is now blank, which looks a little strange, but Yaoqin has agreed to help him draw a picture of Suzhou landscape and write a few words by the way.
After a few more days, after re-decorating, this folding fan will naturally be a handicraft again.
Shen Qiu walked through a few boxes and leaned on the railing on the second floor, this smoke and rain building occupies a large area, and it is carefully built, even in this corner, it is also very exquisite, and there are potted plants.
He lay on the railing, letting the night breeze blow his hair and the corners of his clothes, looking at the night view of Suzhou in front of him.
After a while, he heard a voice from the side.
Shen Qiu turned his head to look, there was still a little drunkenness in his eyes, and he saw a son, who was staggering down the third floor.
The boy was dressed in white, with a scribe's bun, two black hairs hanging down on his chest, large eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and no beard.
laughs like a spring breeze, and is really a good skin.
It was that his shoulder and left leg seemed to be injured, and he was limping when he walked.
Shen Qiu's eyes narrowed.
This boy is very familiar.
Here, Zhang Lan was just helped out of the Shen family's boudoir by Xiuhe's maid, and he didn't care about the surroundings.
When he went down the stairs, the fragrance of Xiuhe's maid made him a little distraught, and he was pestering this maid at this time, wanting to draw her a picture of a beauty bathing.
Of course, Xiuhe didn't agree.
was annoyed by being entangled, so he turned his face and let Zhang Lan go back alone.
As a result, as soon as Zhang Lan walked down the third floor alone, he saw a guy leaning on the railing blowing the wind, obviously dressed as a warrior, but he was still holding an elegant folding fan in his hand.
Hey...
Wait, why is the fan in that man's hand so familiar?
In the next second, Zhang Lan and Shen Qiu's eyes looked at each other.
"It's you!"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Zhang Lan reacted extremely quickly, his figure flew a few steps, and he struck towards Shen Qiu with a wave of his palm, his five fingers apart, and he crossed the night sky, bringing the sound of faint ghosts crying wolf.
Shen Qiu was not to be outdone.
Hongming's knife was not at hand, so he used wind and thunder to respond to the enemy.
The left hand was combined into a sword finger, and with a move of wind and clouds, the Shadow Assassination Technique was used, throwing out several finger shadows, and stabbing at Zhang Lan who rushed in with a roar.
It's a pity that the playboy has a leg injury, and his shoulder can't use his strength, and he can't perform a subtle getaway technique at all.
In a moment, the two of them made more than a dozen moves, Zhang Lan was slow to dodge, and between the wrong bodies, he was hit in the waist and abdomen by Shen Qiu's finger, screamed, and took a few steps back.
Before he could stand firmly, he saw Shen Qiu open the folding fan in front of him, and with a flick of his hand, four small black shadow needles stabbed at him.
Zhang Lan couldn't care about elegance anymore and rolled on the ground for a week.
Suddenly, the four small needles were all dodged, but Shen Qiu took a step forward and closed the folding fan.
With a thud, a black knife stabbed out of the fan bone.
He used the technique of the autumn wind knife, waved the folding fan, shook his wrist, and under the impetus of the true qi of Xueji, the knife wind was blown up like the autumn wind, and there were several reflections in the wind, which was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
At such a close distance, how could Zhang Lan, who was injured again, dodge?
"Poof"
Blood flew sideways, and three blood marks were drawn on Zhang Lan's chest.
Just when Shen Qiu was clenching the folding fan tightly and was about to kill him, the screams of the maid came from behind him, and immediately the courtyard warriors rushed out from all directions.
Shen Qiu did not hesitate, stepped forward and stabbed out.
But the black shadow in front of him rolled, and a person flashed from a height, wearing a night suit, and with the wave of his sleeves, Shen Qiu felt that the knife in his hand had hit a wall of earth.
No more inch.
The man in black didn't look at Shen Qiu, grabbed Zhang Lan, who was pale, and his body was like a distorted shadow, and he turned around and descended from the second floor.
I saw that the shadow stepped on the eaves, like a swallow lightly picking water, and disappeared in the alleys of Suzhou Fang City in an instant.
"Underprepared, too hasty...
But let's run. ”
Shen Qiu opened the folding fan with a snort and shook it on his chest, and there was a chill in his eyes.
The reed knife of this fan has been quenched with poison.
I hope that the boy can last until the next time he and Shen Qiu meet.
