Chapter 4 Decisions
The people of the Biandan Gang were repulsed, but no one in the entire Xujia Village could be happy!
The person retreated temporarily, but the scholar's personality was put here, and the trouble after he was put here can be imagined, and Xu Lin's injury was indeed as serious as Xiao Sha predicted, and it seemed to be more serious, even if it was sent to the city for one or two hundred taels of silver, it could not be saved at all.
One or two hundred taels of silver, according to the currency exchange rate of one thousand copper coins and one tael of silver, one thousand taels of silver and one tael of gold in this world, it is 100,000 and 200,000 copper coins. This is a huge burden for the little Lingling family, who can only have one or two taels of silver at most throughout the year, and even the entire village that has been exploited for many years combined is difficult to make up this huge amount of money.
When he left Xiao Lingling's house, the cries of Xiao Lingling and his mother and brother from the house were like sharp knives that pierced the hearts of the village chief, Xu Qing and Xiao Sha.
After coming here for half a year, Xiao Sha, who has a good relationship, has almost become one with everyone, and almost none of the adults and children in the village don't like him.
Listening to the cry of the spirit who usually laughs like a little butterfly, thinking of the more and more excessive provocation and oppression of the Biandan Gang in the past two or three months, especially this time when he has to live in this kind of fear and pressure even if he wins the battle, Xiao Sha has a bad breath in his heart, even the smile he has always maintained has become weaker and weaker, and even disappeared directly.
Unless you can defeat or even kill the leader of the Biantan Gang......
For the first time, he felt the true value of force, and felt that his previous dream of simply learning martial arts and wanting to be a master suddenly became a lot more realistic.
The master is to be done, but how...... JianghuγIt seems that many times it is really involuntary!
After thinking about it, in the absence of any other way to save Xiao Lingling's father, he who was with the village chief and Xu Qing suddenly spoke: "Big brother......"
"Wait a minute......"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qing on the side stopped violently and waved one hand at him, and said to the village chief who was frowning: "Village chief...... I have something to discuss with you, why don't you go to me."
"It's good ......"
After a slight hesitation, the village chief nodded, carried the sheathed long knife and walked with them to the house of the two, and the three of them were all preoccupied along the way, and no one spoke.
β¦β¦
"Say it! What do you want to say?"
In the lobby of Xiao Sha and Xu Qing's house, the three of them had just sat down, and the village chief leaned the forsythia iron knife against the table, and asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.
"I want to hand over this house to you for safekeeping, and then take Sha'er to walk around the rivers and lakes, as soon as this matter is me, as soon as I leave, they will naturally stop when they have no goal. The two are also to give Sha'er a glimpse of the rivers and lakes, increase his knowledge, and maybe get some adventures and earn some money to come back to treat Brother Lin's injuries."
After a slight pause, Xu Qing, who was sitting opposite the village chief, continued: "If we can't come back in a month or two, please help me sell this house to Brother Lin for treatment." β
Leave?
The village chief paused for a moment, and then fell silent!
He had thought about this problem when the leader of the Biandan Gang said that he wanted to recruit Xu Qing before, but he knew some of Xu Qing's past, and he really couldn't bear to let this child leave his hometown again because of this kind of thing, after all, Xu Qing's surname was Xu, and the ancestral house of the Xu family was also passed down from their lineage for generations, so even he felt heartache for Xu Qing if he gave up like this.
But in the current situation, if Xu Qing doesn't leave, although Xujiacun will not be slaughtered because of his background and the bottom line of the imperial court, there will definitely be a lot of troubles in the future.
Xiao Sha on the side opened his mouth but didn't speak, and a warmth flowed in his heart!
Although he has not recognized Xu Qing, a guy who is only a few years older than his actual age, as his father-in-law over the years, he knows very well that this guy really raised himself as a son.
The reason why he opened his mouth and didn't speak was that his thoughts were the same as Xu Qing's to leave here, the only difference was that Xu Qing's attitude was more pessimistic, while his suggestions were full of danger and hope, but this kind of thing was not easy to say in front of the village chief.
Xu Qing's past village chief knew that he knew it, too!
Xu Qing's father used to be a horseman from a small martial arts family, and died in an assassination attempt for his master, Xu Qing was taken over from Xujia Village to do chores and learn the craft by the children of the family who knew how to be grateful since he was a child, and he got the envy of ordinary farmers, and he could earn a dozen or two taels of money a year in the future, and he didn't have to worry about it in this poor countryside.
It's just that this guy has nothing to do, he actually hooked up with the master's daughter when he grew up, and because both of them are good at martial arts, the rich family didn't give his daughter to learn family martial arts because he was afraid that his daughter's martial arts would be passed on after marriage, so the two eloped together and planned to join the sect.
The sect went, but they were all beaten back because they were past the age to recruit disciples, which made them deeply affected by their enthusiasm at that time. At the same time, the two also learned that after they left, the woman's family was angry that Xu Qing had abducted their daughter and wanted to kill Xu Qing, and this blow was even more profound.
At that time, they were also childhood sweethearts, and after such a rush, they were even more in love, and they all understood that the identities of the two masters and servants could not come together under normal circumstances, so they found a place to quietly retreat, with the idea that they could spend the rest of their lives together if they couldn't do it together.
It's just that they are too naΓ―ve after all!
A year later, the head of the house had found their place with hundreds of people. After a series of coercion and anger, he directly took away his daughter and executed Xu Qing, but in the end, he saved Xu Qing's life under the woman's intercession, but the two finally flew away and never saw each other again.
At that time, Xu Qing, who was lost and lonely, had nowhere to go, so he had to rush all the way back to his hometown Xujia Village.
These three swordsmanship from different sects were forcibly learned by him who was almost stunned at that time, but his form was not his god, and there was no corresponding internal strength to assist, and he was able to practice to this point today is still the result of these years of hard practice.
It is actually not suitable for such a person who has been hurt to leave his hometown again, but Xiao Sha also understands that Xu Qing, who has not married a wife for so many years, is simply depressed and depressed, and if this continues, something will happen sooner or later.
'It's better to ...... Take this opportunity to help him tie the knot? There's no way back anyway! β
Thinking about the fact that apart from using his own treasure knife that only Xu Qing knew, it seemed that there was really no way to solve the problem of learning advanced martial arts, rescuing Lingling's father, and dealing with the Biandan Gang at one time, the idea that Xiao Sha was originally going to say became more and more active.
The only thing that worries him is that once that knife is used, it is really hard to say whether it is good or bad for himself and Xu Qing!
"You've really decided? It's the accumulation of generations of your ancestors."
There was a moment of silence, and the village chief's deep voice sounded, echoing in the room with a little heaviness.
Xu Qing sighed, looked up at the familiar walls and various furnishings around him, and a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes: "Well, Sha'er is very smart at a young age, even if he is past the age of the sect to accept disciples, he should not nest here, I want to take him out to have a look, and by the way, avoid the embarrassment of the Biandan Gang." β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing Xu Qing say this, the village chief was silent again, and then sighed deeply: "Okay, the first three generations of my family are all from Qingzhumen, and they have some connections in Qingzhumen." I'll go back and ask those people who are also related to Qingzhumen who are willing to buy, if you don't come back for a month or two, I will help you sell it if you need it, and when you have money to come back in the future, I will intercede with my old face and then buy it back. β
"The money from the sale of the house is more than enough to heal Xiaolinzi, and I will keep the excess for you...... When are you going to ......" Speaking of this, the village chief paused, to be honest, he didn't believe that Xu Qing's father and son could make a lot of money in such a short period of time, if they robbed it, Xu Qing was not this kind of person and did not have this ability.
"It's inevitable that there will be a lot of dreams at night, today we will clean up during the day and leave at night, and the rest will be handed over to the village chief, your elder."
Xu Qing responded, and while speaking, he got up and took out a wooden box from a hidden place in the guest hall and handed it to the village chief: "This is the title deed of the house."
ββ¦β¦ Okay, I'll go and prepare some dry food, go back and walk around the families of the same Qingzhumen disciples, and ask for you. β
The village chief got up and took the wooden box containing the title deed, turned his head to look at Xiao Sha who was not speaking on the side, stretched out a strong and powerful slap and patted the back of his head: "Xiaosha, it's better to go out and walk the rivers and lakes than here, listen to your father's words more, don't make him angry."
Xiao Sha didn't dodge, let the village chief touch the back of his head, and nodded: "Don't worry, my eldest brother and I can't suffer."
"Big Brother ......"
The village chief froze in anger for a moment, opened his mouth to persuade him as before, but in the end he just sighed, turned around and walked out of the house, leaving only Xiao Sha and Xu Qing, who were looking at him helplessly again at this moment.
β¦β¦
"What are you looking at?"
After the village chief left, Xiao Sha, who got up and watched the village chief leave, closed the door and sat down again, looked at Xu Qing, who had been staring at him, and asked with a backlook.
ββ¦β¦ Nothing."
Xu Qing didn't have anything to say when he looked at him like this, the battle between his father and brother had lasted for half a year, and he knew that it was useless to say anything to himself when Xiao Sha was unwilling, so he could only change the topic and said: "I saw that you wanted to say something just now, did you want to say something?" β
"Big brother has good eyesight"
Xiao Sha smiled triumphantly, then his face was a little more serious, and he leaned over and whispered: "I want to sell the sword and buy martial arts cheats, as long as we get the martial arts cheats and learn martial arts well, we will not only be able to solve the Biandan Gang in the future, but also can do a lot of things, if you want, you can ......"
"What"
Before Xiao Sha finished speaking, Xu Qing's face changed as if he was moved, and even more shocked looked at Xiao Sha: "Are you really willing to sell?" That's a sword! β
"You can't even give up your ancestral home, why can't I?"
Xiao Sha's face was solemn: "I've thought about it, it's better to make it more useful in a timely manner than to let it secretly cast like this, anyway, we don't know how to use the knife, and we can't move." If it succeeds, we can not only change the status quo, but perhaps also fulfill your unfulfilled wishes. Don't you like that Rou girl? Then practice peerless magic skills so that people can't refuse, and if they can't do it, they can still rob ......."
"Are you crazy?"
Xu Qing's eyes widened: "Do you know how much disaster that the knife may cause if it is released?" Characters like us sandwiched in the middle are what you say...... Cannon fodder, to cannon fodder! β
"So what?"
Xiao Sha squeezed his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how big the disaster is, there is still the current trouble?" Now in order to save Lingling, you have even sold your ancestral home, if you don't give it a try, not only will we have to stay away from here from now on, but even the place to live is a problem. Where can such a life be compared to a master who is respected everywhere he goes, don't you want to learn good martial arts? β
"Yes, but you're ...... risk"
"Risk? Hey...... I figured it out, martial arts is a thing of actual combat, the more risky it is, the more profitable it is, don't you think your sword is temporarily earned today? If it's you who loses today, I'm afraid that my face will be spent now, and it's more likely that I'm already a dead corpse at this moment, are you still willing to live like this? β
"But ......"
"There is nothing but, how can it be wasted if the opportunity that others don't have is put in front of us at this moment, so happily decided, I'll go clean up, and we'll go into the city and sell it when it's dark."
"Wait"
While speaking, Xiao Sha quickly got up and walked outside as if he was afraid that Xu Qing would return, and as soon as the door opened, Xu Qing's voice was a little excited, and he couldn't help but look back nervously: "What are you doing?" β
ββ¦β¦ So what...... Rou'er, you have to call your stepmother, or mother."
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Sha at the door was stunned, strode around and walked out of the door, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Haha, okay big brother, once I see my sister-in-law, I will remember to call my sister-in-law"
ββ¦β¦β
With a sentence in his ears, Xu Qing looked at the wide open door, and his slightly haggard face was full of helplessness and laughter.
