Chapter 5: Treacherous Rivers and Lakes

The news that Xu Qing was going to sell the house to Xu Lin for treatment of his injuries quickly spread in the village after being passed on by the village chief, and the villagers who heard the news began to disbelieve it, but after the village chief and Xu Qing's admission afterwards, they were all moved.

Although the martial arts of the rivers and lakes pay attention to the way of chivalry, there are still very few people who are willing to sell their only remaining houses to save people, and even fewer who are willing to sell their ancestral homes to save people.

As a result, Xu Qing, who was already quite popular and prestigious in the village, became even taller in the hearts of the villagers, and some young people in the village who were not very old and yearning for the chivalrous chivalry of the legendary rivers and lakes were not only moved, but also regarded him as the object of their own learning.

Xiao Lingling, who heard that they were leaving, and his mother and brother even came to the door directly to thank them with the family's small amount of food, wine and food, and more people in the village were also full of praise for this matter when they were farming.

People have hearts, 1,000 out of 100,000 to help people is a small grace, and 90 out of 100 is the grace of regeneration, this account will be calculated by anyone, not to mention that Xu Qing is still selling the ancestral house, this is simply to help with the power of the clan, how can you not let them shake?

Originally, everyone was reluctant and admired to let them stay for a few more days, but the people who came to the door to ask for a meeting, except for the Lingling family of the person concerned, were basically blocked by Xu Qing.

After that, Xu Qing, who had simply packed his luggage, fetched some water in the courtyard of the house and sharpened his ordinary iron sword with a slight trace of the copper ring against the millstone by the well.

And in Xiaoshana, the rooms are more beautiful and tidy than the other villagers' houses......

At this moment, Xiao Sha squatted beside his bed, holding a dark red broad-faced knife handle in one hand, and holding a worn-out rag on the ground next to the bed, the body of the big knife half-wrapped by a sheet in the other hand was carefully rubbed, and the eyes looking at the big knife were soft and clear, as if looking at a baby.

This broadsword was about five feet long and one foot wide, with a fierce temperament in the dark red and translucent body, the blade and back of the knife were straight and translucent, and only the hilt was carved with a lion's head, weighing more than a hundred kilograms, which he found in the crevices of the stones near the place of appearance when he crossed over.

At that time, he was anxious to know where he was, and the knife was too heavy so he didn't take it out, and when he was bored after settling in Xujia Village, he remembered that he went to that place with Xu Qing to dig for a long time before he got it, and since then he has become a common treasure between the two, because he likes it very much, so Xu Qing directly handed it over to him for safekeeping.

This thing is too heavy for them to move, but the two of them know that it is not ordinary just from the comparison of appearance and weight with Xu Qing's iron sword!

What's more, during this period, they also smashed some iron products on the blade, and as a result, those iron products split in two with a slight force. The legend of nitpicking or something is actually true, and it can really be broken by blowing a few hairs on the blade, and even the bricks can be automatically cut like tofu when they are placed on the blade, without the need for human force at all.

This level of knife not to mention Xu Qing, even Xiao Sha from modern society is the first time to see it, this quality and sharpness, they also deeply believe that this is definitely a peerless knife, if it is not really used, and they don't know how to swordsmanship, and they are desperate, none of them are willing to sell it.

And you must know that the birth of a peerless treasure knife is a big deal for the people in the rivers and lakes, and with their three-legged cat's martial arts, they may be involved in it if they are not careful, after all, who knows who this knife originally belonged to, and those cattle will be tempted.

But now I don't have a choice!

Looking at this thick big knife that was so heavy that almost no one on the earth could use it before, almost one meter fifty or thirty centimeters wide, Xiao Sha sighed helplessly......

Although his psychological age is not young, he still has an innocent side, thinking that if he learns martial arts, he can be as cunning as those TV series traversers, and now it seems that he ...... I'm still too ideal!

Yes, Xiao Sha admitted that he was afraid of death, and also admitted that when the scholar of the iron pen attacked him before, he actually felt fear in his heart, and he was even more faintly in a cold sweat afterwards.

Looking at Xu Lin being beaten like that today, the village chief and Xu Qing plucked up the courage and only dared to ask for an explanation from the people of the Biandan Gang, and they didn't give an explanation...... This is a very embarrassing thing, and only the most vulnerable people in that world will be like this.

It's a shame and a helplessness!

It is equivalent to two lives, he clearly understands that even if he is afraid of death, he can't change anything, and he has not paid attention to the true value of martial arts at all in the previous half a year of comfortable practice.

There are clear classes in this world, and ordinary people who want to turn over under normal circumstances have not much to do except join the sect, get adventures, and buy cheats, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of money!

And the treasure knife in his hand now is the biggest and perhaps the last chance for himself and Xu Qing!

He knew very well that if he sold this thing, he would be caught in the sight of many people that he and Xu Qing couldn't mess with, but he didn't have any better ideas now.

finally came to such a world, Xiao Sha was not willing to follow Xu Qing to wander the rivers and lakes for a lifetime, and it was impossible to watch Xu Qing, who was so good to him, not marry for the rest of his life, and just nest here for the rest of his life.

In the past six months, he has been hesitating when he thinks clearly, and his reluctance and fear of risk have always made it difficult for him to take this step, but today's events, whether it is the shot of the iron pen scholar or the subsequent pressure of the flat gang are stimulating him, and finally made him make up his mind.

And judging from Xu Qing's attitude just now, he actually has this thought!

Life in the world is a fight after all!

This time, he both, and so did he!

……

In the evening, when the sun was setting, the two people who were originally busy with each other got together and started a fire in Xu Qing's ancestral house to make the last supper.

During the meal, the two discussed the plan and the distance of the next transaction, and after a while, the sound of an argument came from the closed door and lasted for a while, and finally gradually disappeared in Xiao Sha's low voice.

……

After dark, Xujia Village, which had always begun to die down as soon as it was dark, did not see any darkness at all, and almost all the villagers gathered in front of Xu Qing and Xiao Sha's houses with torches in the dark night. Under the light of the raging fire, the village chief and the little Lingling beside him, as well as Lingling's brother, his mother, and the familiar faces around him were particularly distinct.

With the opening of the door of Xu Qing's house, a warm farewell that Xiao Sha had never seen in the two worlds began, and the villagers offered a lot of things brought from home, and reluctantly sent the two from their house to the wilderness four or five miles away from the village, until the two of them persuaded several times before they stopped.

For these villagers who sometimes cut their feet and pick their nostrils, open and close their mouths to speak foul language, it is difficult for Xiao Sha to say what quality and culture they have, but it was not until the moment of parting that he felt what it meant to be grateful and popular.

The reluctant faces from the heart and the sincere words fell on his heart like a little fire, making his heart not only warm like spring, but also the posture of the whole person burning.

As the crowd gradually moved away, the group of torches that were getting fainter and fainter in the night gradually disappeared into view, and the two who had begun to melt into the darkness were speechless for a while, until they remembered the next trip of the two of them, and this atmosphere was broken.

……

"Here it is!

Riding the little donkey sent by one of the villagers, after turning several corners and getting away from Xujia Village, Xiao Sha grabbed the reins in his hand and looked at the several loess paths that branched in front of him, and suddenly spoke.

As soon as he stopped, Xu Qing, who was riding an ordinary thin horse sent by the villagers, also pulled the reins with a sigh, turned his head to look at him through the faint moonlight in the sky, and asked after a moment of silence: "Do you really want to do this?" How sure are you? ”

"Ninety percent, there is still one percent left for accidents, after I enter the city, I will go to a suitable pawnshop first, and immediately go to Tiangong Pavilion after changing the money, I think there should be no problems in such a short distance in the city......"

Xiao Sha smiled confidently: "Then we all know the rules of Tiangong Pavilion, whoever buys martial arts cheats in Tiangong Pavilion, Tiangong Pavilion has the obligation to protect his safety, and even sends masters to escort guests to the designated place after buying cheats, you just wait for me there." ”

"Let's go back and share the cheats, once we practice, we will first clean up the gang leader, and then help you find Rou'er's sister-in-law, and finally redeem the house. When the time comes, if we want to explore the rivers and lakes, we will break into the rivers and lakes, and if we want to rest, we will rest, where can we not go to the world? ”

"It's your mother...... At the very least, I have to call my stepmother."

"Yes, it's a sister-in-law, at least you have to call Rou'er sister-in-law"

“……”

"Or that sentence, are you really willing? If you're not sure that we can go directly to other places to settle down, as long as it's out of the jurisdiction of Qingyuan City, those guys in the Biantan Gang don't have to worry at all, at most it's a little worse. ”

"Aren't you willing to do the same? It's just that if we are targeted and get into trouble afterwards, we also have to be mentally prepared! ”

Xiao Sha's smile did not change, and there was a kind of heroism between his mouths, as if after the previous warm farewell, the dangers that might be encountered in connection were no longer so important.

"Ha ......"

When he said this, Xu Qing, who was still worried about his safety, was also infected and smiled heroically: "What's there, there are a lot of people in the world who are willing to risk their lives for the sake of a first-class ninth-rate cheats, and the cheats bought with money with the ability of this treasure knife are not only ninth-rate?" You are not afraid of this little risk, how can I be afraid? ”

"It's ...... you"

After saying a word, Xu Qing stared at his face deeply: "Although you have been smart and calm since you were a child, you are still young and inexperienced, otherwise I will ...... it."

"Forget it!"

Xiao Sha smiled: "You said that the person who answered was the most dangerous, or I came!" Your brother and I have never suffered any losses since I came to Xujia Village, and even Lin Heizi and Lin Leopard have been obedient to me. You can rest assured! Didn't we talk about it before? And there is a court in the city, so it is not so dangerous. ”

Lin Heizi and Lin Bao are scoundrels in the village, and they have always only respected Xu Qing and the village chief, but Xiao Sha got along with them in less than half a month after he came, and he became the head of those people in less than a month.

Although there are also Xu Qing's sons or brothers, Xu Qing can see from the eyes of those guys that they are really convinced of Xiao Sha. One of the biggest reasons is that Xiao Sha can say and fool...... At this point, he asked himself, except for force and stiff scolding, he couldn't do what Xiao Sha did.

Thinking about it, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and sent the ordinary iron sword with the sword sheath that he had bought when he was still with the Rou'er girl in his hand, and sent it to Xiao Sha with a sword sheath that had been used for nearly ten years, and said softly: "I know that you are good at martial arts, but Dad, I don't have any other treasures except for the ancestral house, and I haven't given you anything decent in the past six months, you can take this sword for self-defense, and we will buy better ones when we go back." ”

"Exempt"

Xiao Sha pushed his hand back and said, "When you earn money out of the Tiangong Pavilion, don't talk about ordinary iron swords, we can even buy ten steel swords and hundred steel swords, big brother, you have a long way to go, keep it yourself!" ”

“……”

After another silence, Xu Qing, who was riding on the thin horse, sighed again and withdrew the long sword in his hand, just looked at Xiao Sha for a while, and finally said to take care, and then turned the horse's head and rode towards one of the forked roads, saying as he walked: "Then you remember, three months later, Changhong County will ......"

"Hongfeng Town, Southeast Street, Xu Changqing, I will always remember"

The dark night sky seemed to be even darker because of the parting, and the thin horse under Xu Qing was slapped by him with a scabbard and immediately spread the horse's hooves and ran, and the crisp sound of hooves in the distance was extremely clear in the silent wilderness!

Suddenly, the sound of hooves is back!

With the enthusiasm of the villagers to bid farewell to the rest of the villagers, Xiao Sha also turned the donkey's head and set off on another road. He opened his mouth to cheer himself up in the crisp sound of hooves, and a bloody song with a crisp rhythm and full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes was accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves spread in all directions.

“…… Look down on the beacon smoke over the wild goose in the sky, the horse's hooves break through the green frost without a trace, the country is a few delicate, who laughs at the grandeur, and a few people succeed in the phoenix nirvana......"

You treat me with sincerity, I see me off with songs, and after that, there will be a place for you and me!

Looking at Xu Qing, who was gradually moving away, Xiao Sha, who was now single for the first time, was excited, and rode his donkey, which was raised to be comparable to Xu Qing's thin horse, and rushed towards another road to the city.

In a blink of an eye, the father and son, or brother who have been together for half a year have parted ways!

Next stop, treacherous rivers and lakes!
