Chapter 2 Fighting for Your Life
In front of the drum tower, three family members dressed in Dong family costumes were holding Shi Jiangshui's head hard, and he tried to look up at the wicked man who injured his father---- the son of the village patriarch, Bao Changshi Ben. The eyes of the red face breathed fire and the roots of the teeth clucked, and they wanted to rush forward and tear him apart.
"Something! Your family has been a cow and a horse for my family for generations, do you still want to turn the sky upside down, these days you poor ghosts, I heard that a few days ago the Red Seventh Army in Baise, Guangxi Province laid down a small territory in Xiajiang Mansion, do you think the sky is going to change? Hey! I tell you you want to be beautiful," he said proudly.
"Originally... Young Master, our family Jiang Shui is young, you don't know anything, you let him go, my old bones, I beg you to raise your noble hand" Jiang Shui, who was lying on the ground, covered his bleeding abdomen with both hands, and his words were close to pleading.
At this time, Shi Benlai came over and squatted down with a pair of male and female eyes with a disdainful face, and sneered at Jiang Shui's father: "I am very reasonable and fair, as the saying goes, killing people pays for life, and debts are repaid. β
"You two said that you didn't set the fire, and you didn't say that someone else set it, could it be that a ghost set the fire?! Who testifies? β
The green tendons on the shin of the river soared, and he roared and shouted: "The heavenly Sa Sui (the female leader of the Dong rebellion against oppression in the late Ming Dynasty, who was respected by the people and gods after her death) can testify, today my father and I are doing forest protection work according to the patriarch's regulations, and we have not been doing this kind of work for a day or two, can it be said that we set the fire?" β
"I heard you always call me Shi Ben Lai behind my back, am I really a scoundrel?" He pouted.
"This time, I saw your father and you two at the fire, there was no one else on either side, and the fool knew that you wanted to burn that forest, hehe!"
"I don't care if those fir trees are burned, but there are more than 20 golden silk nanmu in the noodles, and it is a big price to transport them to Guangdong." He patted Jiang Shui's face vigorously with his hand and said.
"Not only that, but a few of them are booked by friends who are officials in the provincial capital, used as a century-old wood, and the deposit of large yellow croaker alone is 5 big roots, can you afford to burn it like this? But today it must be compensated. β
His eyes widened angrily, and he squeezed out two words from his mouth fiercely: Lose your life!
"Young owner, oh I said the wrong person, no!" Ignoring the pain, he crawled up to Shi Benlai and reported his thighs and pleaded.
"Bang" Jiang Shui's father was kicked in the chest, and his body flew out two meters and fainted. "Old thing, you are looking for death," the evil young man scolded.
Jiang Shui shouted eagerly, "Dad, are you okay?" What's wrong with you, Dad? "Shi Benlai is not a thing, you have the ability to come to me."
The wicked man laughed proudly, "So let's have a play, I have three high-priced martial artists in my family, I see that the body is a little big, if you can win them, I will let you two go, if you lose..." β
Jiang Shui understood at a glance that it was a cliff that fell into the people, and it was a place where the patriarch of the clan carried out the family law. When I was young, if I let the cattle pass through that place to stay or play, after going home and being known by my father, it is inevitable that I will first be scolded, and then I will stew chicken with bamboo shoots (beat me with bamboo sticks), and the whole process will go down, and you will not want to walk well in two or three days.
Today, the lives of father and son are closely linked to this place, which is really a trick! He said angrily: "What do you say? β
"Life and death have their own destiny, and they are ruthless, do you dare, little boy?.
"Good! Even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan today, I will break through and accompany me to the end. β
"If you have the guts, it depends on whether your life is hard or not.
He waved his hand and said to the more than 20 family members, "Take the old immortal, and if his son loses the battle, throw the two of them down to the place where he ascended to the immortal and go to the underworld to be a companion together." β
The old patriarch was smoking a hookah and lying on the chair, his eyes closed and opened, and he looked lazy, as if he was out of the matter. As everyone knows, this old thing has been talking in the village for so many years, and talking about people in the village is not doing anything, and one or two human lives are like stepping on an ant or bed bug to death for them.
Today, he can shake the majesty of his family again. Four big men with black scarves of the Dong family tied around their heads, wide belts tied around their waists, and stood on both sides with their hands crossed at their waists.
On the cliff is a wide flat land, and a large banyan tree grows on the edge of the cliff. Jiang Shui heard the old man say that with this village, there is this ancient banyan tree, which is like an old man who sees through the vicissitudes of the world, and like a big umbrella that brings a summer shade to the ground.
At this time, many villagers who rushed to hear the news stood behind Jiang Shui in the hope that they would avoid this catastrophe.
The bully Bao Changshi walked to the center of the clearing and cleared his throat.
"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, you also know that Shi Laogen's family set fire to my mountain today and burned more than 20 golden silk nans in my family, he can't afford to pay for it, what should I do? Then let my son Jiang Shui compete with my boxer, if he wins all three fights, we will let them go and the father and son, as long as they lose a game, they have to be thrown off the cliff, no wonder I don't pay attention to human righteousness, when we came, we agreed like this, let everyone see a witness. β
At this time, a gray-clothed man with broad shoulders and chest, two beards, and a face of a melon entered the field, holding fists with both hands, "My name is Fu Kui, and it has been more than three years since the outsiders arrived in your village. β
"Shi Jiangshui, if you don't dare to fight, you can break one of your legs, and I will say to the master to spare the life of one of the two of you."
Jiang Shui looked at his father who was tied up, and a wave of heat surged into his heart. He tightened the belt of his trousers, tore the turban into four strips of cloth, one strip of cloth was wrapped around the base of the finger of his left hand, and gradually wrapped the other four fingers around the base of the finger, and finished in the palm of his hand, and his right hand was also concocted in the same way, the upper ends of the two arms were tied with strips of cloth, and he cut the wide trouser leg with a sickle, and the last pair of shorts just above the knee was done.
That Fu Kui couldn't see a doorway for a long time, "Hey! Are you ready? Something that's ready to die before it hits. β
The two sides are in the open frame style, Jiang Shui bows his upper body and protects his head with his fists, and his feet alternately advance and retreat in a figure-of-eight shape (angquan--- ancient Zhuang people's species, Guangxi ancient wolf army Bo killing skills).
Jiang Shui glared at him. The two murderous gazes also made the surnamed Fu shiver.
Weigh each other's opponents and wait for opportunities to find out the flaws.
Fu Biao is a head taller than Jiang Shui, his brain and temples are bulging, this person has a certain horizontal practice foundation, and after three turns, he took the initiative to approach Jiang Shui.
"Sigh" punched through the air and hit the face of Jiang Shui, Jiang Shuitou did not avoid it, and attacked it with his head, only to hear the "cross rub" With the scream of the boxer, his face changed greatly, and he was shocked: What a little cub who practiced horizontally. Jiang Shui didn't give him too much respite, and kicked off the opponent's right calf with a low kick.
Shi Ben, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and his jaw was about to fall, oh! "This little cub is not very old, and his body seems to be beaten with iron."
"Someone! Carry Master Fu away and take good medicine. β
"Black Dragon, give me the leg of this egg cub discounted, I'm so angry."
From behind the crowd came a man of medium stature, wearing a pair of thin-soled cloth shoes and a white cloth shoulder, moving his muscles and bones as he walked, and his neck and knuckles clicked.
He didn't say much, his face was full of murderous energy, and he stood up and pointed out to fight in front of the river.
After a few rounds of tentative moves, the boxer is also a man with excellent upper body strength and solid footwork in the lower game. Under the fierce offensive of Jiang Shui's fingers, the man's two hands were like two doors to defend impenetrable, and the key points of the head, throat, and crotch could not be reached for a while.
It is difficult to use the low sweep and high whip leg technique for a while, so you can only enter the inner circle to look for opportunities.
After more than ten rounds, the black dragon's hands and feet also felt a burst of heat, and the sweat of the bean was oozing from his forehead. I wanted to do it like this, and my hands and feet were kicked off by the little cub.
He forced his composure and wanted to hang the other party by wrapping and hanging, so the hands of the previous defender also opened and closed to deliberately expose flaws, so as to lure the trap in the river.
The black dragon wanted to shake a fist with his right hand, taking advantage of the gap when the river was dodging to the left, and grabbed the giant python with his left hand........
When the right straight punch was hit, who knew that Jiang Shui didn't avoid it at all, I saw him bending his ribs to protect his left face, bowing his right leg forward under his body, and standing up straight with his right rib on the black dragon's chin.
"Click" the jaw bone was dismantled, the broken bone went directly into the other party's throat and the blood flowed like an infusion, the blood reflux made it difficult for the black dragon to breathe, he covered his throat with both hands and made a squeaky sound, fell to the ground and convulsed, and finally stretched his legs and never moved again.
Although Jiang Shui has practiced martial arts for many years, he has never shown himself in front of people.
Today, the situation is forced to take people's lives with their own hands for the first time.
When he smelled a strong blood, he was a little uncomfortable at first, but soon his eyes showed a burst of murderous intent.
After losing two games in a row, Shi Ben was angry, thinking to himself about the boxers hired at a high price, I will give them good food and drink, why are there so many bear bags today, this face is red for a while and white for a while.
Damn, he scolded secretly, did this little cub start practicing in his mother's womb? Basically, it's a hard bow and a hard bridge fight that can kill the opponent, and the moves are too domineering! Evil is very hot.
It seems that no one here is his opponent, so why not find someone who is good at using a knife to compete with him, maybe he can cure him.
"Ah Kun's turn, come up, I'll leave it to you, it's up to you to dismantle him."
The man heard Ishimoto's shout, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and woke up from a deep sleep leaning against the trunk of a banyan tree.
The previous fight between the two sides seemed to be close to him, and after standing up, his hands were crossed on his chest, this person had a pointed chin and a long face, and there was a long scar on his face.
With a pair of eagle eyes and a thin figure, he has a long black knife under his arm, a pear wood scabbard and a bronze knife stall ebony hilt, which shows that this person's origin is not ordinary.
The old patriarch had just seen the majesty of the river, so he asked his chief son in a low voice: "When this one walks up, the ants can't seem to step on it, okay?" β
"When he played with the knife, the river was still feeding, and I watched how he scraped the little cub alive with a knife. Dad, you can watch the show. β
"Little cub! Pick a weapon," the man said coldly.
Jiang Shui looked back at the onlookers and saw a middle-aged man carrying a cow dung palladium on his shoulder. He walked into the crowd, "Brother Yitong, I'll borrow your dung palladium for use." β
"Is this thing a good thing? Why don't I ask my family to bring you a long firewood knife? β
"No need, dung palladium is a perfect match for him."
"That's good! You have to be careful, everyone is watching, even if you win this level, they won't let you go. β
Jiang Shui nodded, then walked over to the man.
When he saw Jiang Shui take a dung from the crowd to compete with him, his nose was crooked, and he thought that the officials of the three southwestern provinces couldn't bear him back then, but today he was humiliated in public by this nobody, okay! Little cub, you can't wonder my men are ruthless.
He inserted the scabbard diagonally into the ground, and while his body slammed into the river, he pulled the knife out of the sheath with his right hand, and a cold light went straight to the face of the river.
Jiang Shui did not parry, with the root of his right foot as the axis of rotation, his left foot swept to the opponent's supporting foot against the ground, and the palladium in his hand also swept to his left waist.
Ah Kun saw that the move was old, and hurriedly retracted it to protect the left side, and the golden rooster was easily resolved independently, and the river was also secretly surprised, worthy of the old rivers and lakes.
After more than ten rounds of fighting, there are several deep knife marks on the dung palladium wooden pole. Jiang Shui's moves are offensive and defensive, and he also realizes that if he continues to consume, the desperate guy in his hands will sooner or later become two.
A little distracted, the Kun knife method changed suddenly, and with two swords, two blood marks immediately appeared on Jiang Shui's right arm, and at this time, Jiang Shui was in danger under the shroud of knife light, and fought and retreated.
As soon as Jiang Shui turned his back to the attacking blade, he was more than half an inch, his body sank suddenly, he knelt with his right foot, and the dung palladium that was behind him was like a "return pistol" along the semicircular arc of the ground, and five iron palladium nails came from the bottom to the top of the rushing Ah Kun.
With a "click", the wooden handle was broken, although the opponent's knife had been defended, but to no avail, the dung palladium with the broken handle was full of strength, and it still flew upwards under the action of inertia, and it was forced from the chin into the throat and leaked out.
"What....... It's jaw ....... again You TMD..... Only this trick? β
He pulled out the palladium nail with his left hand, the knife in his right hand had turned into a crutch at this time, and the blood was constantly spraying outward from the four blood holes in his throat, and his eyes were blood-red when he looked at Jiang Shui, and then the knife fell to the ground, and his hands grabbed in the air for a while, and finally fell.
Jiang Shui held half of the wooden handle in his hand, his expression was numb, and the blood and sweat on his face were intertwined.
After a while, he turned back to Shi Ben outside the court and said, "I won all three games, you have to fulfill our agreement, and let my father go." β
"Shijiang water! You are so naΓ―ve, you killed my people, can you still live today?! β
"Shi Benlai, it seems that I really called you Shi Benlai, your family is not a good thing, even if I die today, I will let you take off a layer of skin."
The bully beckoned, and more than 20 family members viciously surrounded the river.
Red-eyed, he swept his father lying on the ground with his afterglow, and was trying to pass, when he was hit in the back by a three-foot short stick of a family member behind him, he was furious, and when the stick left his body, his left leg had reached behind this person, and his left hand reached out from under his armpit and grabbed his chest violently, so that he could not move, and turned left and flew and hit the opponent's abdomen with his right knee and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, three cold lights rushed straight to the front door and slashed, Jiang Shui rushed to the right side to dodge this fatal blow, rolled on the spot, picked up the three-foot stick on the ground, and swept hard at the heels of the three family members, only to hear three more people fall down, and three bright Dong waist knives also fell to the ground.
The three of them rolled on the ground in pain, their mouths letting out a pig-killing howl.
As soon as I calmed down, I felt that my waist and arms were immediately restrained by a pair of iron arms that were like the power of a giant python, and the pain in my ribs was incomparable, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.
"Hey, hey! You egg boy, today Lao Tzu melted you," said a tower-like man, in a loud voice.
At this time, Jiang Shui's feet were off the ground and his arms were clamped and there was nowhere to exert his strength, and he kicked the opponent's crotch with his right heel, alas! The two of them turned their backs to the sky.
Taking advantage of the big man falling to the ground, Jiang Shui hurriedly lifted a carp to the air on tiptoe, and then pulled the soles of his feet with both hands, and his knees smashed heavily on his abdomen with the momentum of his body falling, only to see the big man vomit blood in his mouth, his eyes glared, and his face was crooked and died.
Jiang Shui was in a hurry, a series of dazzling low-sided, kicking, flying knees, and elbow smashing fighting techniques were completed in one go, and the sound of human bones breaking and clicking stimulated people's auditory nerves, and in an instant, a large piece of black-clothed man fell on the ground.
Jiang Shui lunges with his left fist flat and his right fist against his right ear, approaching Shi Benlai step by step.
The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and the bully shouted, "Throw Shi Laogen down." β
The two family members who had been guarding immediately threw Jiang Shui's father off the cliff.
"Daddy!" Jiang Shui screamed, rolled on the spot, picked up the two waist knives on the ground, and threw them quickly at the wicked man who was old and young.
Because of the impatience, he couldn't hurt the other party's hair. Just as he was about to rush forward and end the life of the wicked, he found that his waist was being held, it turned out that the big man who was hit hard by his knees was not dead, and he woke up after passing out to see that Jiang Shui was facing away from him, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to swallow Jiang Shui in one gulp.
At this time, the two of them scuffled on the ground with all their might, and they couldn't care about all the moves, like loaches drenched with salt tumbling non-stop.
The two of them pinched each other's throats, their eyes rolled and they still didn't let go, and the big man at the head saw that he had reached the edge of the cliff, he stopped, and the river looked at the clouds and mist under the cliff, and the people were bottomless, and their backs were cold.
I heard a sentence in my ear: "You go down for me!" β
The two were entangled together and fell into the abyss..............
Ishimoto laughed wildly: Little cub! You're still being thrown down isn't it, haha.... Haha"
The crowd of onlookers was rioting.
The wicked man said: "Whoever is bold and reckless, this is the end." β
