Chapter 21 Reluctance
Qin Xin checked this lotus-like thing several times before he couldn't say with certainty: "Could it really be that it saved his life today?"
And he took out all the other things that were in his bosom, and the knives and flints, and some copper coins, and a few taels of silver, and nothing special except them.
The two brothers studied for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, so Qin Xin had no choice but to put this thing away, and it seemed that he could only wait to go back and ask his father for instructions, or ask Wei Huaichun.
In the next few days, the Qin family's convoy had completed all the loans, and the convoy rested for another day before they began to prepare to return to Qinglin City.
In the past few days, the two Qin Xin brothers will also take out the "Nine-Leaf Ice Lotus" to study when there is no one around, but in the end there is still no result.
Qiu Miaoxue was born with no heart, no liver, and no lungs, except for being scared half to death that day and crying a few times, in the remaining days, she acted as if nothing had happened, she should eat and drink.
Seeing that she was going to return the next day, Qiu Miaoxue was still clamoring to eat "Yang Ji Mountain Treasure Museum" and "remember to eat", Qin Xin was naturally resolutely opposed, but Qiu Miaoxue was soothing and pestering them like flies, and the brothers were really unable to be entangled, so they had to accompany her on another trip.
This time, they only ordered a few dishes that they thought were delicious last time, and Qiu Miaoxue didn't dare to pay the bill with gold leaves so arrogantly.
When they came to this shop again, the two brothers had their own thoughts in their hearts, drinking wine, and chatting without a word, in fact, they were watching and listening to all directions, and they were careful and vigilant.
Only Qiu Miaoxue grabbed a wild boar's trotter with her left hand, and a pheasant leg in her right hand and ate it with relish, and said vaguely in her mouth: "Eat, it's delicious, you two eat quickly......"
Early the next morning, the Qin family's convoy began to set off to Qinglin Town after three gongs, and the people in the convoy were excited, no wonder, they all came out for more than a month, some missed their wives, some wanted children, no wives and no children wanted to go back and how to spend money, in short, everyone was smiling and returning to their hearts like arrows.
Qin Chu was not as excited as everyone else, he had always been a little worried, because he saw that the direction in which Toutuo and those people left was the direction of Qinglin City, and he didn't want to run into those strange people on the road again.
Qiu Miaoxue didn't care so much, and she didn't care if Qin Xin had something on her mind, she pestered Qin Xin every day to continue to teach her kung fu.
Qin Xin couldn't be entangled, so she picked up a small stick and pointed at the acupoints on her body, and tested the knowledge of acupoints she remembered when she came, who knew that she learned quickly and forgot quickly, four hundred and nine acupoints were forgotten half of them in a few days, and the rest were still nonsense, some couldn't remember the location, some were confused, and some were wrong.
Qin Xin didn't know what to say about her, she just shook her head vigorously, and Qiu Miaoxue was also a little disheartened when she was tested.
"Why am I so stupid? I remember it clearly the other day, why have I forgotten it all these days, woo...... I'm useless. Qiu Miaoxue's mouth pursed again as she spoke, and tears began to turn in her big eyes again, looking pitiful.
"Where there's a will, there's a way, so let's take our time. Although Qin Xin was a little helpless, he could only comfort her.
But after not teaching for a while, Qiu Miaoxue was all confused.
"I'm really useless, stupid, why can't I learn?...... I ......," Qiu Miaoxue said with a strong self-reproach.
The more Qin Xin persuaded her, the more she felt aggrieved, and as she spoke, tears began to drip again.
Qin Xin didn't know where she got so many tears, and she didn't know how to persuade her, so she scratched her head anxiously.
"Am I really not good at learning martial arts?" Qiu Miaoxue said pitifully when she saw that Qin Xin didn't speak
Qin Xin suddenly remembered what his father had said to him, so he said solemnly: "A person is born in heaven and earth, he can do nothing, but he can't have self-confidence, if you don't have self-confidence, don't want to do anything well, and if you don't believe in yourself, others won't believe in you." ”
When Qiu Miaoxue heard this, she seemed to really have an understanding, and stopped crying and said, "I have to believe in myself, I can do it, you just referred to the 'Four White Acupoints' and 'Tiancang Acupoints', right?"
"It's not Tiancang, it's the 'Earth Cang Cave'......" Qin Xin shook his head again.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, ......" I saw her gritting her teeth and reciting this earth more than a dozen times.
"By the way, Brother Qin, that Toutuo that day, can you beat him?"
"Didn't I tell you earlier, I really can't beat him. Qin Xin said.
Qiu Miaoxue asked him this question several times in the past two days, and he took the trouble to answer her several times.
Every time Qiu Miaoxue asked this sentence and heard the same answer, she would giggle and ask her why she was laughing, but she always laughed and did not answer.
Qin Xin knew that it was useless to ask her, so he used the small stick in his hand to point at her 'Daying acupoint' and said solemnly: "What kind of acupoint is this." ”
"Big ...... What's coming......" Qiu Miaoxue's eyes rolled quickly, and she didn't think about it for a long time, and finally, she learned from Qin Xin's appearance and said very seriously: "I'm very confident to tell you, I really can't learn this thing in acupoints, you still teach me monkey boxing." ”
"......" Qin Xin was really made to cry and laugh by her: "How many times have I told you, if you don't practice martial arts until you get old, it's useless for you to practice the showmanship well." ”
"Who said it was useless? Didn't you beat those people with a monkey fist that day?" As she spoke, she followed Qin Xin's example that day and posed in a few monkey fist poses, and her mouth was still full of sound.
"......" Qin Xin really didn't know how to tell him, if he didn't have the internal strength to just have a show, how could it be so easy to deal with those reckless men?
They set off from Qinglin City in July, and when they returned, it was already the beginning of autumn in August.
At this time, it was autumn and refreshing, both of them were teenagers, Qiu Miaoxue's martial arts were not strong at all, but she didn't feel lonely while walking and chatting along the way.
The convoy walked peacefully for more than 20 days, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Qinglin City, and nothing happened on the road, Qin Chu's heart that had been carrying it gradually relaxed.
After walking for a few more days, when he came to the vicinity of the wild sheep slope, Qin Chu really smiled, and said to a few people who were ready to go: "Monkey cubs, if you can't catch seven sheep today, don't come back." ”
"Yo-yo-yo-yo-" The same capable young men with bows and arrows on their backs laughed and galloped away in the direction of the wild sheep slope.
Qin Xin felt a little strange in his heart, seeing that he was about to arrive in Qinglin City, Qiu Miaoxue began to look listless, today, he hid in the car since he got up in the morning and didn't come out.
Now I actually heard that I was going to catch the sheep and there was no movement, knowing that there was roast mutton at night and there was no shouting and screaming, it really didn't look like her, could it be that the sun came out of the west these days.
"Aren't you happy that you have a fragrant roast leg of lamb to eat tonight?" Qin Xin got into the car and saw her sitting alone in the car in a daze, deliberately teasing her.
"Brother Qin......" Qiu Miaoxue's voice was a little low.
"What's wrong?Is it uncomfortable?Is it sick?" When Qin Xin heard her voice, he thought she was sick, and asked with some worry.
"I'm not sick, I just want to ask you, can you really beat that Toutuo that day?" Qiu Miaoxue said in a low voice.
"That's right, his body is so fast, I have almost no chance to react, but don't worry, I will definitely practice martial arts diligently, and I will definitely be able to beat him next time I see him." Qin Xin said uncertainly, because he felt that the other party's speed was simply beyond the power of manpower.
He kept asking this question a few days ago, and he hadn't heard Qiu Miaoxue mention it again in the past few days, and thought she had forgotten about it.
"You know you can't beat him, why are you desperate to save me?" Qiu Miaoxue looked at Qin Xin very seriously.
"Why?" Qin Xin was stunned by this question, he really didn't think about why.
Qiu Miaoxue had never asked this question before, and he didn't know how to answer it when he asked it, he didn't think much about it at the time, he just felt that he had to protect her safety even if he died, but he didn't know what to say.
Qiu Miaoxue kept looking at Qin Xin with a pair of clear and beautiful big eyes, as if a clear spring was flowing, Qin Xin's heart was beating wildly by his inexplicable look, and he didn't dare to look at her anymore, his eyes looked away very unnaturally.
Qiu Miaoxue didn't mind when she saw him looking away, and said in a crisp voice: "Brother Qin, did you protect my safety even if you didn't want your life at that time?" ”
Qin Xin's face flushed, his heart beat wildly, and he secretly thought, how could he guess what I was thinking, seeing that she was still looking at herself, she could only scratch her head and say: "Actually, I didn't know what to think at the time, I just didn't want you to have an accident." ”
Qiu Miaoxue felt very happy when she heard him say this, and a smile just appeared on her face, but after a while, she gloomy and said: "Brother Qin, we will go back to Qinglin City in two days, this is the first time I have been away from home for so long, my father will definitely be very angry, after I go back, my father will definitely not let me come out again, will you come to see me in the future?"
"Absolutely. Don't worry, I'll definitely visit you as long as I have time. Qin Xin didn't expect that this little girl was worried about this, he had never thought about this problem, and when she asked him like this, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and he was faintly reluctant to part with her.
"If you don't have time to practice martial arts, when the time comes, you will definitely forget me?" Qiu Miaoxue's expression was a little darker, and she said aggrievedly.
"How could it be?" Qin Xin was resolute, and seeing her disbelieving expression, he hurriedly raised his right hand and said, "If you don't believe me, I can swear that I will go to see you as soon as I have time, okay?"
"I don't need to swear, I think, we're all young, will you ...... Will it be ......" Qiu Miaoxue said that her face was flushed for a while, her expression was infinitely shy, it was really as bright as a peach blossom, but her voice was getting lower and lower, and the last few words were almost inaudible.
