Volume 1 Youth Tour, Far Away Chapter 38 Encountering a Swordsman Outside the City
On March 27, the rain turned to a clear day
Along the way, because of the rain, a lot of trips were delayed, from the beginning of the rain in the Yellow Mountain boundary has been a full four days, the caravan people also encountered a landslide on the way, blocking the way can only take a detour, then the journey was delayed.
But fortunately, it is still in time to enter the boundary of Hangzhou before April, and the difference between Yuezhou and Qianzhou is that the village here is more tea gardens, the caravan travels to the village road, both sides of the road are full of a touch of vibrant green, the tender yellow bamboo fence will enclose the tea garden round and round, many of them are working in the tea garden, the faint fragrance is scattered in the tea garden field, this scene, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the earth turns green, the spring breeze is slightly drunk.
The caravan was passing through the mountain path slowly, and suddenly a sentence came out from the carriage surnamed Jiang in front of them: "This scene can be described as this!" April in the world is full of fragrant flowers, and it is the right time to pick tea! With a hearty laugh, it can be seen that he deliberately leaned into the window and smiled backwards.
"It's really a mistake to take this person on the road together," Lin Manliu said speechlessly for a while, and recalled that Jiang Yanlin's matter in the past few days was too delayed in the trip, although it rained and rested at night, whether it was a post station rest or a night in the mountains and forests ancestral temple, there was something to say.
"Let you talk but your brain" A disdainful voice came from the carriage next to him, it was the moon cold branch sitting next to the car.
The two glanced at each other, and then sighed helplessly and had to continue on their way, about two hours later, it was noon when the sun was at its peak, Jiang Yanlin sent someone to inform them that they were going to change their route to visit a friend and talk about it later, so he said goodbye to everyone in the caravan.
After the caravan steward said goodbye to the people, as if he had just come to life, he talked more with Lin Manliu and the caravan men, and asked everyone to find a place to rest in the future.
After the caravan entered the official road, there was a pavilion not far ahead, and there were several willow trees around it, and the branches drooped from the trunk to the ground, enclosing the whole pavilion, which was a good place to enjoy the coolness. The steward of the caravan called the men to the repairs.
However, after approaching the pavilion, he saw a man in a yellow shirt holding a sword in the pavilion, with his back to everyone, and the caravan man and steward couldn't help but be a little vigilant, it must be because he had been comfortable for a few days and remembered the two groups of bandits and the disciples of the Fengxue Daguanlou before.
Lin Manliu saw this scene and looked ahead, and also subconsciously reached out to hold the mountain field line on his waist.
Unexpectedly, the man holding the sword in the pavilion spoke: "I am just waiting for someone again, disturbing everyone's cool rest, I can just exit the pavilion, it is rude" After speaking, the man turned to look at everyone and was about to apologize, and when he turned around, he seemed to notice Lin Manliu who was holding the sword, and he stared at the short-shirted boy very deliberately, and looked away in an instant.
After the caravan steward took the lead in thanking him, he led everyone to the vicinity of the pavilion to repair and rest, and the man in the yellow shirt just retreated to the shade of a plate of trees and continued to hold his sword and close his eyes. Lin Manliu and the others sat on the stone steps of the pavilion, he took some dry food for Yue Hanzhi, and continued to be vigilant against the sword-wielding man beside everyone.
It seemed that the man also noticed his gaze, twisted his neck and closed his eyes, and said, "Is there anything you want to say about the little brother?" ”。
After being detected, the short-shirted boy got up in embarrassment and apologized: "No... It's just that I guess Your Excellency must be the heroic man in the rivers and lakes, and the kid admires it physically and mentally."
"Since you admire, why don't you draw your sword and know how to fight."
"Ah......".
"My little brother must also be a first-class master, please advise"
The short-shirted boy was speechless for a while, and when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly kicked his left leg, and when he looked down, he found that it was Yue Hanzhi, who was still eating dry food, who gave him a gesture.
Lin Manliu held his waist and walked out of the pavilion, stood in front of the man in the yellow shirt holding the sword, and said to him: "Please give me advice."
"Come to war" The man in the yellow shirt just replied with two words, then held the scabbard with his right hand and stabbed straight in, but did not give the young man the first hand to the enemy.
The short-shirted boy had to pull out the mountain field line backwards and put it across his chest to block, but the yellow-shirted man's sword scabbard was so fast that when he pointed at the mountain field line, he suddenly turned around and swung it directly at Lin Manliu's sword-holding left arm. A hot tingling sensation spread from his arm, almost making the boy unable to hold the sword, and the man in the yellow shirt retreated to his position after a blow and waited for the boy's resistance.
Lin Manliu gritted his teeth and clenched the mountain field, and when he strode forward and there were still seven steps away, the young man jumped up and was about to take advantage of the situation, and the mountain field line slashed directly at the door of the yellow-shirted man's face, but the man did not dodge but only blocked the scabbard with one hand, as if he raised the scabbard in his hand slightly and directly blocked the short-shirted boy with a blow, and the boy had to jump back with his strength, and the yellow-shirted man swept the sword and chased the boy without giving him a place to breathe.
The short-shirted boy saw that he couldn't stand still, so he turned around and prepared to force back the other party with a sword momentum, and when he turned around and wanted to throw the mountain and fly out, the yellow-shirted man's stepping speed skyrocketed, and in an instant, he came to the back of Lin Manliu, who was about to turn around, and the scabbard swung from the bottom to the top and hit Lin Manliu's back, and the scabbard collided with the black cloth strip on the young man's back, only to see the short-shirted boy was beaten and flew out a few steps before he staggered and stood still.
The boy reluctantly turned to look at the man who had knocked him back with a single blow, and the stinging sensation of burning pain in his left forearm and back had been repeated, so he could only switch to his right-hand sword, with a burning gaze in his eyes that wanted to fight.
The man in the yellow shirt seemed to approve of the young man's posture, and danced a sword flower at random with the unsheathed sword, and then continued to walk towards the young man and said slowly: "The idea is naturally good, I want to hide my next killing move, but the price is to expose my back to the opponent, if it is really a battle array, it is enough to die several times."
Lin Manliu held his sword forward, ready to meet the enemy at any time, there seemed to be leaves falling on the willow branches around the two, and when an inconspicuous willow leaf moved in the air and floated to the shoulder of the short-shirted young man, the yellow-shirted man moved! It was like a sudden sprint forward after sweeping the sword just now, the speed was very fast, and he shuttled among the scattered willow leaves, and his figure looked a little illusory.
The short-shirted young man looked at the somewhat indistinct figure, and suddenly there was a sound of tearing the air on the left side of the young man, Lin Manliu immediately held his sword to the left to resist, instinctively moved his left leg back a few steps, and immediately twisted his body after he barely caught the sword scabbard that broke through the air, and his left leg was raised and swept backwards.
Sure enough, he kicked the figure of the man in the yellow shirt who moved from the left side to behind him, but he was blocked by the elbow of the man in the yellow shirt with his right hand. The man in the yellow shirt saw that the attack had failed, so he took a few steps back and distanced himself from the boy.
Although it was not as bloody and brutal as when they were in Yuezhou, the speed of the sword moves between the two and the exchange of fists and kicks during the competition were really dizzying.
The expression under the hat of the moon cold branch was a little dignified, this man in yellow shirt was obviously not as simple as she thought at the beginning, if it wasn't for the fact that she had always deliberately recruited Lin Manliu and had no idea of harming her, she would have been defeated.
"Little brother is okay, it's just that you're a little more vigorous, didn't your master teach you well, or did you not study hard?" Just as everyone watched them prepare to continue the battle, the man in the yellow shirt had already collected his offensive posture and hugged his sword into his arms as he spoke, and looked at the short-shirted young man in front of him with a smile.
Lin Manliu just arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your advice" and didn't want to explain too much about his moves.
"Uh...... I see how long you haven't learned swords, do you want me to teach you some tricks? The man in the yellow shirt looked at the young man's response a little embarrassed, squeezed out a smirk and said, and quietly stared at the black cloth strip on the young man's back.
