Volume 1 Calamation Chapter 12 Suspicion (II)
Wu Jie's worries soon became a reality, and at the end of March, Lin Lushan worriedly found him who was busy alone in the pharmacy.
"Fourth brother, third sister, her situation is a little abnormal!"
Wu Jie, who was busy making medicine, was stunned, put down what he was doing, went to the door of the pharmacy to look left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, so he hurriedly closed the door and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”
"The third sister said that she wanted to practice her spiritual skills in retreat, but after the retreat, her kung fu had grown, but her mind was a little confused. Not only did I forget a lot of things, but I even lost the martial arts that I had practiced hard since childhood. Lin Lushan said with a sad face, "Now she climbs up the mountain early in the morning to see the scenery, and she doesn't come back until night, it's like she has fallen into an evil spirit!" ”
Wu Xie slowly frowned.
Evil? I'm afraid it's not that I've fallen into evil, it's that I've gone crazy in practice!
At a glance, the people of Sanshan Dao knew that Lu Dao was not a decent person, and it was not too uncommon for him to have problems with his exercises—although Jasmine thought that there should not be much of a problem with the introductory exercises, but the facts were right in front of him.
"Let's go back to town and see!"
Wu Xie explained to the former Shenli Gang helpers who were helping in the store, and hurriedly went to the carriage and horse shop to hire an express car, and went to Wujiaji with Lin Lushan.
This carriage was completely different from the original one, it was pulled by a healthy horse, and the body was much lighter and stronger—it was originally used to rush people who were in a hurry but could not ride horses, and naturally gave priority to speed.
It is about 20 miles from Anfeng County to Wujiaji, and the carriage gallops along the avenue, and the sun has just passed noon, and it has already arrived outside Wujiaji.
After paying the coachman's hardship fee and letting him rest by himself, Wu Xie and Lin Lushan rushed to Du's house non-stop.
When they arrived at Du's house, they didn't see Du Ruo, but they saw Du Ruo's brother Du Yu.
Du Pre is the head catcher of this county, strong in martial arts, he has been the leader of several brothers since he was a child, and he is even taller and more powerful when he becomes an adult. But today's appearance is a bit bad, not only is there a few more bruises on the face, but even walking is a little inconvenient, and it seems that he has been beaten lightly.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you doing this? Who beat you like this! Lin Lushan asked in surprise, "What about the third sister?" Went to the mountains in a daze again? ”
"Don't mention that stinky girl!" Speaking of his sister, Du Yu was furious, "I don't know where Lu Dao learned a strange kung fu, and his strength is too great!" And the temper is several times more violent than before! I didn't let her go to the mountains, she actually did it with me, and beat me like this! ”
He sat on the chair, puffing out but helpless: "What's wrong with this girl!" Fortunately, my father took the township soldiers to the county government for training, and now he is not at home...... Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be angry with her! ”
"She did it with you?!" Wu Xie was taken aback, "She actually did it with you?" Hasn't she been very close to you since she was a child? ”
As Wu Xie said, the relationship between Du Yu and Du Ruo's brothers and sisters is very good. Because the old lady of the Du family died early, Du Tuanlian was usually busy and busy, so Du Ruo was almost brought up by his brother since he was a child. On the one hand, she learned to be a tomboy from Du Pre, and on the other hand, she admired her brother very much. In Wu Jie's opinion, she is only afraid that she regards her brother as her idol.
If Du Ruo quarreled with his father, Wu Xie would not feel strange at all - the relationship between the father and daughter was already a little tense, and quarrels and actions were commonplace. But Du Ruo will actually start with Du Pre? It's incredible!
"Just because you don't let her go up the mountain? Just for this little thing? Lin Lushan was so puzzled that a question mark was about to appear on his head, "It's outrageous!" ”
Du Yu was also depressed, for him, being beaten by his sister made the psychological damage far more than the physical pain: "Could it be that she was angry with me because I drove away the little white face who came to the door last time to ask for a kiss?" ”
"Oh? Big brother, have you ever done this kind of thing? Wu Xie was suddenly a little curious, but then drove this curiosity to Java, "I don't think she is a person who is angry about this kind of thing......"
"Didn't the third sister herself say that she likes mighty men and doesn't like little white faces......"
"Humph! The girl's thoughts, where can we men guess! Maybe she said she didn't like it, but in fact, she liked it to death. As a result, a marriage was mixed up by me, and this hates me......"
"It seems that it is also possible, why don't I go and find out the third sister's tone?"
"Stop, stop! What are you guys talking about! Wu Xie couldn't listen anymore, and drank Du Pre and Lin Lushan, who had already begun to exert the spirit of gossip, "Which mountain did she go to?" I'll go over and see her. ”
"It's the one north of the town, the one further north of the Three Mountains Temple." Du pre pointed to the north, "The town is called Rabbit Ridge on that mountain. ”
Wu Xie nodded and went out.
Passing through the town to the north, about half a mile to the Three Mountains Temple, it will be a moment to run with all his feet. But he stopped once on the road - there was a mighty and fierce statue painted in the corner of the roadside wall, which he had never seen before, and the scratches seemed quite new.
"Who painted this idol?" He was a little concerned about the statue, so he casually asked an idler, "It's a good drawing." ”
"It was painted by Du Sanjie. I don't know when she learned the ability to paint red portraits, it's really the eighteenth change of the female college, and the tigress can actually draw......"
Du Ruo painted? Can she draw?
Wu Xie was taken aback again.
Among the five brothers and sisters, if you want to write and paint, you have to count the Linlu Mountain. This old man writes an upright and refreshing official style book, and is also good at sketching landscapes, bamboos and stones with a fine brush, which is quite an artist's style. For others, Wu Xie has good calligraphy and can draw something, at least a tiger won't be mistaken for a cat, a goat won't be recognized as a pig - that's all. His brother Wu Cheng is good at writing small characters in official style, upright and stable, and has been praised by Lin Xiucai more than once.
But where do the Du brothers and sisters have any artistic talent! Not to mention Du Ruo, who has a frizzy temperament, even Du Yu, who has a calmer personality, only practiced calligraphy hard after being an errand in the government - until now, he can just write a little more correctly, and he is not good at painting or anything.
As for Du Ruoma...... He had the impression that Du Ruo was good at dancing with knives and sticks, and he felt uncomfortable when he picked up the pen. Lin Xiucai put on the majesty of her uncle and forced her to learn literacy with a ring ruler, but she barely learned two or three hundred words, but that's it, she still writes her name crookedly!
Although these statues do not use many brushes, they are very expressively painted, and they can be called freehand paintings, and the majesty and ferocity of the gods are conveyed through the scratches, as if they can be heard to let out a violent roar, ready to fight.
Can Du Ruo draw this kind of thing? He didn't believe it when he killed Wu Jie!
So he was stunned for a while, and then asked a few more people, but the answer was exactly the same.
These statues of gods were indeed painted by Du Ruo in the past few days.
Seeing that Wu Xie was full of disbelief, an anxious child also pulled Wu Xie to the village chief's house, and pointed to the statue in the corner of the wall that knew that Lu Dao had just been painted not long ago.
"This is what she painted before she went up the mountain today, you can see for yourself, the brick ash on the ground is still there!"
The evidence is ironclad, and I can't help but believe it.
He was full of wonder, and his feet couldn't help but speed up, and after a while, he ran past the ruins of the Three Mountains Temple, and ran along the rabbit ridge all the way up the mountain.
The reason why Rabbit Ridge is called Rabbit Ridge is because there are many rabbits on the mountain. It's the end of March, and it's the time when rabbits are active, and it's said that there will be a lot of rabbits along the way, but Wu Xie ran all the way by, but he didn't see any trace of half a rabbit - in fact, he didn't see any animals, the mountain was quiet, only the mountain wind was whining.
Rabbit Ridge is very tall and towering into the sky; There was a big rock at the top of the mountain, and Du Ruo sat on it.
When Wu Xie came to the top of the mountain, she was looking up at the sky, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.
"Third child, what's wrong with you?" Wu Xie asked loudly, "Why did you start with the eldest brother!" He doesn't have your adventures, where has he beaten you! ”
Du Ruo lowered his head and looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes full of alienation.
Wu Xie was a little unhappy, but he still continued to persuade: "I know that you have obtained the immortal fate, and you will be able to cultivate into an immortal in the future, and I feel that I am very remarkable." But even if it is an immortal, it is still raised by a father and mother, and it is also necessary to eat and drink Lazar, so that you don't have to make yourself like a monster. ”
"Oh?" Du Ruo snorted lightly, his brows raised slightly, "What do you know?" ”
"I also know that you have obtained the Dao of the Three Mountains Dao people-" Wu Xie was about to continue, but he suddenly felt a great danger, and the hairs on his body stood up.
Looking at him head-on, Du Ruo's face had become very fierce, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"You know so much!"
Before the words fell, she had already rushed down from the boulder, and the whole person was like a fierce leopard, rushing straight towards Wu Jie.
Wu Xie didn't think about it, and swung his fist to meet him.
The murderous intent just now was like a substance, and it had clearly told him Du Ruo's attitude. Now he has no choice but to fight!
The two of them moved their hands on the top of the mountain, their fists and feet clashing with a dull sound, and the howling wind was interspersed with the sound of stones breaking.
For the two of them at this moment, these ordinary stones are completely vulnerable, they are really broken when they are rubbed, and for a while, the gravel on the top of the mountain flies wildly, smashing the nearby grass and trees one after another, and even those big trees that have not been blown down by the mountain wind for many years have been smashed off pieces of bark, like wounds that have been injured.
After fighting for about an hour, Wu Jie's strength gradually fell a little short, but Du Ruo's physical strength seemed to be endless, and his shots were as fierce and fierce as before. What's worse is that Wu Xie always had some scruples in his hands, but Du Ruo had no scruples to attack with all his might, so the originally evenly divided battle situation gradually tilted in the direction that was unfavorable to Wu Jie.
"Something is wrong! It's so wrong! Wu Xie became more and more puzzled the more he fought, and the more he fought, the more surprised he became, "The last time I fought, her strength was obviously still a cut behind me, why did she beat me now?" And her stamina is too good! I'm already at the peak of the acquired realm, and I'm a little tired, why isn't she tired at all! ”
What surprised him even more was Du Ruo's attitude.
She really wanted to kill herself!
"What the hell is going on!" Wu Xie was anxious and angry in his heart, and finally couldn't help but yell, "Du Laosan! Are you really evil! ”
