Chapter 8 Three Years
Lu Xiao's life can be said to be trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice. Any one in the bandit camp could kill him at any time. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Lu Xiao hardly dared to make any small movements.
But it's not completely nothing, for example, tonight, Lu Xiao found an opportunity.
The brothel in the town, it seems, has added new people. That night, all the horse bandits who went there were very drunk and stayed in a brothel. Even the two guys who had been bullying Lu Xiao found a place to drink. Only Lu Xiao was left, sleeping alone in the stable.
As the night deepened, Lu Xiao opened his eyes and looked around. It should be the middle of the night. There were basically no pedestrians on the streets, and the bandits had drunk too much and slept.
After Lu Xiao carefully inspected the surroundings, he took out a horse and quickly left the stable.
He can only barely say that he can ride a horse, and his level is very average. After all, horses are very precious. Only those horse bandits at the top of the rankings are eligible to ride.
Fortunately, the place where Lu Xiao is going is not very far. He first walked around the town and found a wood. Without rushing into the woods, there should have been a group of hunters in this generation who had set a large number of traps in the woods. He didn't dare to go in casually, just walked around the periphery a few times.
Then he found the place he was looking for, and it was a cliff.
After finding the place, Lu Xiao did not continue, but quickly returned to the stable. The horse was fed some forage and then lay down and went back to sleep.
What Lu Xiao is looking for is the knife book that the protagonist Ding'an finally got in the original book. It's just that one night is not enough. Of course, he could have ridden down to the bottom of the cliff to find it. But that would consume too much horsepower, and tomorrow morning, the bandits would be easy to detect. Therefore, Lu Xiao just locked the general direction, and then returned to the stable.
Now he is regarded as one of the horse bandits. But it didn't really get trust, so everything was still based on stability.
The next day, the horse bandits, who had woken up, rode away. Leaving Lu Xiao and the three of them, with forage and some necessities, slowly walked behind.
Along the way, Lu Xiao was silent. It was the two guys behind him, who were discussing the events of last night. They went to the half-closed door last night, and they were the kind of old prostitutes who were kicked out and made a living.
The two chatted and shifted the topic to Lu Xiao.
"This kid is really weird sometimes. Neither drink nor play with women. What like a horse bandit? ”
"Hahaha, you don't know yet. When we first arrived, it wasn't like that. Don't worry, it won't take half a year, and it will be the same as us. ”
Lu Xiao heard their conversation and did not respond. He's practicing knives, yes, he's practicing knives.
Exercising and practicing knife techniques are the only two things Lu Xiao does in his spare time. He didn't know any swordsmanship, so he only practiced the simplest slashing moves. Lu Xiao didn't know if it would be useful to do this, but he could only train like this. This can at least give him a little confidence in his heart.
He practiced every day, in exchange for the ridicule of those horse bandits. The horse bandits who can eat under the hands of the flying dragon are naturally the kind that have two hits. It is natural that they don't look down on Lu Xiao's slashing.
However, Lu Xiao noticed that there was a person who looked at Lu Xiao with a slightly different look.
That person was Wyvern, the strongest swordsman in the area. Lu Xiao has seen him take out the knife, his vision is limited, he can't see any doorway, he only knows that the other party's knife is very fast. It's so fast that I can barely see clearly. At this speed, let alone competing with the other party, if you really want to match, he may not even know how to die.
"Drink!"
Lu Xiao swung the knife again, but this time he felt that someone had walked behind him. Before he could turn around, he saw a scimitar reach from the side and press against his wrist. Let his wrist sink slightly.
Lu Xiao looked sideways and saw the flying dragon standing beside him. It dawned on him that the Wyvern should be correcting his grip on the knife.
Lu Xiao immediately nodded, keeping this posture firmly in his heart.
The wyvern didn't speak, and didn't give any more pointers, but left without saying a word.
In the following days, Lu Xiao practiced his knife more diligently. And the wyvern corrected his posture of holding the knife, making him feel as if his workout had had a little effect.
As the strongest horse bandit group of this generation, there is a little benefit. At least the oil and water pipes are enough. Those horse bandits are all meatless people, full of beef and mutton, plus some brown rice or something. Lu Xiao has enough nutrition to be able to support his practice.
Two months, during this period. The Wyvern led another man to raid another village. With enough supplies, the horse bandits began to spend all their days drinking again.
Only Lu Xiao, as if tireless, contacts the boring wielding knife every day.
Until another time, the Wyvern came to him again.
"Want to learn how to use a knife?"
"Yes!!" Lu Xiao said without thinking about it.
"Very well, then follow me."
This was the first time that the flying dragon had truly taught Lu Xiao.
"My knife technique is just a secret, fast. What tricks, what secret skills are. As long as you are faster than the other party, he will naturally not be able to stop him with a knife. Then you win, what kind of knife technique do you want. ”
Wyvern's words seem to make a lot of sense, but they also don't make sense. Because Lu Xiao had long noticed that Feilong was a talented person with amazing arm strength. His two scimitars, though not two-handed knives. But the weight is definitely heavier than the average one-handed knife.
But in his hands, it's like two chopsticks. can be airtight by his dance. can make more than a dozen knives in a single breath, and no matter how powerful the knife hand is, there is no room for resistance in front of him. couldn't use any tricks, so he was directly hacked to death by him.
Lu Xiao's physical fitness is also very strong. But before it reaches the level of the flying dragon, the double knife can't be played. So it can only be with a single knife.
The flying dragon was just like he said, and he didn't give Lu Xiao any tricks. Just taught him in detail the posture of holding the knife and the basic swinging movements. And told him that if he wants to practice a fast knife, in addition to the kung fu of the upper body. The lower body is also not negligent. To put it bluntly, the knife must be fast enough, and the next plate must be stable enough. This is all the secrets of the Flying Dragon Knife Technique.
Fast enough, stable enough. The cheats are only four words, but Lu Xiao has already firmly remembered them.
................
There are two things that cannot be avoided in this place of congestion. Wind and sand and death.
In three years, Lu Xiao has become accustomed to these two things. He's no longer the horse bandit at the bottom of the rankings. Now in Feilong's horse bandit camp, Lu Xiao ranks third. The first is the flying dragon, and the second is Lao Diao.
Lu Xiao actually doesn't care about this ranking. However, there are still many benefits. His knife was getting faster and faster, and the rest of the bandits were becoming more and more polite to him. There are good things for him to pick first, or even take the initiative to deliver them to the door. The horse bandit is such a creature that bullies the weak and fears the hard.
