Chapter 16 Misfortune does not come alone
Bao Yuanqian was a little dazed when he walked on the crowded street, Cui Yingying and him had known each other for a long time, although the two did not say it explicitly, they could understand each other's minds.
Why.... Will Yingying go hundreds of miles to Xingdu in Naganzhou today to go to a man's appointment? Could it be that the warbler has changed her mind?
It shouldn't be possible, the so-called Lord Dou himself has never seen it, and he has never heard her mention it.
He denied this idea, and there was no reason for Cui Yingying to suddenly change her mind.
He and Cui Yingying met more than two years ago, when Bao Butong had not yet entered the barracks. When he was alone with a group of sentry riders on his way to the Gaotai Station to investigate, he encountered the caravan of the Cui family.
The Cui family's business is very large, and they travel to and from Ganzhou, Zhuanglang and other places. That time, the Cui family was in trouble, and a large group of Qingqiang people living in Qilian Mountain went down the mountain to rob, and the Cui family's guards were the opponents of these Qiang people who were doing their jobs?
A few people were killed and wounded in front of them, and these Qiang people were vicious, robbing money and killing people.
Cui Yingying, her father Cui Jingxing and other family members saw that the day was about to be precarious, and at this time they happened to meet the seventeen or eighteen sergeants of the Ming army sentry battalion who went to the Gaotai Station.
Although the Qiang people are vicious, they are not well-trained and iron-clad professional soldiers, and after three or four rounds of arrow rain, the Qiang people were shot dead and seriously wounded, and the Qiang people wanted to pull Cui Yingying on the horse and run away.
Bao Yuanqian stretched out his bow and arrows, and killed him with a sharp arrow. The other two wanted to risk their lives, and Bao Yuanqian concocted the two of them one by one, so that the Qiang people had to flee in a hurry, and no one dared to step forward.
So Bao Yuanqian snatched food like this and saved Cui Yingying.
Cui Jingxing was a wealthy businessman in Suzhou, and even gave Bao Yuanqian and others ten taels of silver each.
Don't underestimate ten taels of silver, Jiang Wei can't save more than ten taels of silver a year for a civil servant like Jiang Wei, let alone these big-headed soldiers who don't have it.
Cui Yingying and Bao Yuanqian are both Suzhou Weiren, and they became acquainted with each other as soon as they met.
Cui Yingying was very impressed by Bao Yuanqian, who saved him from the three arrows, and Bao Yuanqian's figure was quite majestic, and he was sloppy and mighty when he stepped into the war, which was very lethal to Cui Yingying, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time.
The two have known each other for a short time, but their relationship has progressed rapidly, and they have become close friends who talk about everything, and even later, Cui Yingying will share many secrets with Bao Yuanqian.
Bao Yuanqian often took Cui Yingying to gallop along the foothills of Qilian Mountain, and took her to shoot for a hunting ride, so happy!
It's just that the identities of the two are too different, Cui Jingxing noticed his daughter's abnormality, so he strongly objected and said something ugly to Bao Yuanqian.
However, Rao is like this, Cui Yingying still secretly goes out from time to time to talk to Bao Yuanqian, and even gives some help to the Bao family, but Bao Yuanqian is machismo and would rather die than spend a woman's money, Cui Yingying has to help privately.
Therefore, half a month ago, Bao Yuanqian, who had been aggrieved for a long time, made up his mind and wanted to prove that he was not a poor sergeant with a bag. You can earn your own money with the knife in your hand and the bow under your crotch.
This time he carried her out of the customs, claiming that it was spying intelligence, to put it bluntly, Bao Yuanqian took advantage of the big brother Gao and them to go out, and he also wanted to go out to get money and come back to Cui Yingying.
A man understands this bit of self-esteem.
It's just that when I heard that Cui Yingying went to the appointment of the official of the bird, I felt unspeakably uncomfortable in my heart, what did I die for?
When he almost came back with his life, he found that Cui Yingying was going to go out for an appointment, and it was still a man's appointment, Bao Yuanqian was a little dazed.
He suddenly thought of Cui Yingying, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the West Chamber, and fell in love with Zhang Sheng who saved him at a glance.
But Cui Yingying, the beautiful lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, can live and die with her, share weal and woe, and eventually become a family. Can I and Yingying be like the plot in the West Chamber, and have a good result with Yingying?
Maybe it will, the Cui family's business is so extensive, and it is normal to get acquainted with a few official friends from the Xingdu Division, or it is too cautious to be messy if you are concerned about yourself.
When Yingying comes back from Ganzhou, ask clearly.
Bao Yuanqian comforted himself, but he didn't notice a woman walking in front of him.
The woman was about thirty years old, with a dark complexion, dressed in coarse linen, and looked like a person who had been busy in the fields all year round.
The woman was a little haggard, and when she saw Bao Yuanqian, she stepped forward as if she had found a life-saving straw and grabbed Bao Yuanqian's hand and cried: "Brother Da Bao....."
Bao Yuanqian was pulled back to reality by this cry, Bao Yuanqian looked at it fixedly, and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law? You...."
"Brother Dabao, where did your big brother go? He didn't get home for almost a month, and I couldn't find anyone when I went to the barracks to look for him. ”
This woman is the wife of the missing eldest brother, the two have been married for more than ten years and have a young son.
The relationship between husband and wife is very good, and this time the news that Brother Gao did not return was blocked by the Yamen, and the woman knew nothing.
"Sister-in-law..... I can't stand you...", Bao Yuanqian held back a sentence for a long time, he wanted to say it, but he couldn't.
Although Bao Yuanqian is no wonder about this, Bao Yuanqian is a conscientious person, and he can't see these joys and sorrows in his eyes, and the yamen has strict orders, so he doesn't dare and can't see her.
I don't know the whereabouts of Brother Gao, once I say that my sister-in-law goes to make trouble, I have to lose half my life when my dozens of military sticks come down.
The woman cried bitterly, "Brother Dabao, tell me, is your eldest brother dead or alive?" ”
Bao Yuan was silent, and when the woman saw this, she broke down emotionally and fainted from crying for a while.
Seeing that she was pitiful, Bao Yuanqian couldn't bear to help her up and take her back to Bao's house, and handed her to his younger brother Bao Butong, who was already able to walk on the ground.
Bao Yuanqian was bored at home, looked at the Yanling knife in his hand, thoughtful, and quickly explained two sentences to Bao Butong and went out with the knife.
Bao Yuanqian can be described as a big ups and downs today, how beautiful it is to get up in the morning, how uncomfortable it is now, his sweet feelings have suffered a crisis of trust, and the matter of Big Brother Gao has not come to fruition for a long time, Bao Yuanqian has a belly of fire in his heart and needs to vent urgently!
He walked three steps and two steps, and soon he was out of the south of the city, and a few miles away was a large poplar forest.
It was only when he left the city that two figures followed him.
The two exchanged a look, as if they had found a target, and followed Bao Yuanqian from a distance.
Bao Yuanqian walked quickly to the poplar tree, "Poof! With a bang, he drew his knife.
Aiming at a thick poplar tree is a knife!
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the dry poplar wood was chopped out by him with a knife of countless fragments, but Bao Yuanqian did not stop, followed by the second knife and the third knife..... Knife after knife slash down.
Bao Yuanqian slashed a few times, as if he thought of something, he simply took off his brand-new clothes, carefully folded them and put them aside, bare the tendons and flesh of his upper body, rounded his shoulders and slashed them again and again.
The reason why he did this was to vent his frustration and anger, and secondly, he had meditated it since he proposed to learn the kung fu on the tip of the knife that day.
Although he is good at bow horses, his skills are not strong in combat. Once hand-to-hand combat, he became an ordinary person with considerable strength, and now this is unacceptable to him.
Although his hand-to-hand combat skills are not weak, just like the cavalry who killed Navarat that day, he can find some skills after fighting for a long time.
It's just that these skills are not clever, and there are even some suspicions of indiscriminate chopping, and there is no order.
He wants his skills to be as good as his bow and horse skills, proud of the army.
No matter how bad it is, it should be like Jiang Wei, waiting for three or five people to enter the body.
It's a pity that he wants to learn now, but Uncle Bao insists on waiting for all his wounds to scab off, but he can't wait.
It's not more than ten or twenty days, and I'm afraid I don't think about it if all the scabs fall off. But now his own body knows by himself, and he is already seven or eight points better.
Since there is no way, no master, then I can only meditate on how to improve my sword skills.
No, there is a way.
He is pondering that all things in kung fu are sharpened into needles with iron rods, which is nothing more than a diligent practice, and the same is true for craftsmen.
No matter how complicated things are, as long as you keep practicing every day, you will eventually be in the classroom day after day.
For example, in the case of archery, why can you be so proficient? It's nothing more than 80,000 arrows shot instead of 100,000, relying on the accumulation of time.
Besides, this slashing matter, why is the ability of Brother Gao and Brother Bao Butong to fight better than themselves, isn't it because they rely on skills to kill people more?
Every time I fight, which time is not the eldest brother and the younger brother Bao Bu rushed in front together, one made a broad knife and the other pulled a big stick, just like shooting an arrow by himself, shooting more people, practice makes perfect.
Lu Xun said well in later generations, there is no kung fu in this world, but if you cut more people, you will naturally have kung fu.
So Bao Yuanqian made up his mind, since there are not so many people who cut them for themselves, then they will cut these trees as people, and cut five hundred knives a day, no, eight hundred knives!
I don't believe it, and I can't make a name for myself? Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and it is simple to do it in a stupid way, and returning to the basics may not be able to work wonders.
Bao Yuanqian was sweating like rain at this time, and the thick scabs on his body jumped with the dance of his muscles.
Bao Yuanqian slashed one after another, like a lumberjack, and cut off three thick poplar trees.
"What did he do? This kid is quite energetic. ”
"If they don't have any skills, why do they come back to these brothers after they leave the customs?"
"Hey, although there is some brute strength, but this skill is a little worse, and the knife skills are clumsy and unorganized."
Just as Bao Yuanqian was slashing at the poplar wood, the two people who were following him not far away muttered.
"Six hundred and twenty-two, six hundred and twenty-three....."
Bao Yuanqian glared at him, slashing with a knife, only slashing until his arms were sore, and he gritted his teeth and persisted.
Just as Bao Yuanqian swung the knife again, he suddenly abandoned the poplar wood, and instead rounded it and slashed it backwards!
He came from a sentry, and he was the only one who probed people, so how could anyone probe him?
He had already noticed that someone was following him, and he noticed that someone was always near him.
When the man rushed at him, his heart was like a mirror.
I saw a figure retreating, and Bao Yuanqian missed with a knife. Unexpectedly, although this person's movements are not small, his kung fu is not bad at all, and his pace can be retracted freely.
I couldn't help but secretly say that this person has a lot of kung fu on his feet, like Wu Song's jade ring step mandarin duck feet.
It's just that his knife failed, and he lost the advantage of being a preemptive striker, and before he could see the person clearly, he saw that person walking in a tiger's step, bending his body, and then soaring in front of him when he retreated and entered!
Bao Yuanqian didn't have time to react, and wanted to raise the knife to slash, but as soon as the knife was raised, the man grabbed his wrist with one hand, Bao Yuanqian was in pain and threw away the Yanling knife.
"Ahem...."
Immediately, Bao Yuanqian felt that his neck was locked, he couldn't move, and his face was red.
Ten thousand thoughts flashed in my heart, could it be that it was the group of Warats who disguised themselves in the city and found themselves!?
But just these two times, the judgment is made! He is not as good as him, far worse!
If it was really a Warat person, he would really die on the spot today!
