Chapter 57: Also a Swordsman
Xu Huaigu was by the fire, and naturally saw the battle between Gu March and the man in black clearly.
He didn't have the slightest worry about Gu March from beginning to end, just because he could see the strength of the two sides, those men in black were in a low realm, and they were far from Gu March's opponents.
It's just that the little girl named Fang He, although she has some cultivation, about the second realm, she doesn't know how to use it at all, and it's no wonder that she will be chased by those black-clothed people.
But who passed on the method to this little girl, but didn't teach her the immortal technique? Xu Huaigu felt a little curious.
Gu March took Fang He back to the fire, and Xu Huaigu was still lying quietly on the ground by the fire with his eyes closed, as if the previous fight had never happened.
Before Gu Yueyue introduced Xu Huaigu to Fang He, Fang He saw a man by the fire from a distance, and his body trembled suddenly, and he grabbed Gu Yueyue's arm in fear, pointed at him and asked, "Sister, who is that?" Gu Yueyue hurriedly explained: "He is my master, just like me, he is a good person, not a bad person, don't be afraid of him." Let's go. Fang He cowered and didn't dare to step forward, dragged Gu Yue to death, and said in a panic: "Sister, I can't go over." Gu March felt strange and asked, "Why can't you go over?" Afraid of him? Rest assured, my sister assures him that he is a good person and will never hurt you. Fang He still shook her head vigorously, no matter how Gu Yueyue persuaded her, she just didn't want to go over, so anxious that Gu Yueyue asked a few times before she whispered in Gu Yueyue's ear in fear: "My father said that men are all bad people, and don't let me get close to men other than him." He said that if I were near another man, he would not want me. When Gu March heard this, she was so angry and funny, she really didn't know how to tell her.
Looking at Fang He's appearance, she doesn't look like a fool, could it be that she has never been in contact with a man since she was a child, so she thinks so?
Gu March asked her, "Where did you grow up?" Haven't you been in contact with any other man except your father? Fang He shook his head and said, "I grew up at home since I was a child, my home is deep in the mountains, and there are special people to run errands for me when I go out, so I can't go out a few times a year." I was bored at home, and then my father thought it was not good for me to stay at home all the time, so he bought the mountain and the nearby land, and I played in the mountain all day, but I still couldn't go out. In addition to my father, only one of my father's apprentices was more familiar with me. But he treats me badly, and I feel like he looks at me weirdly all the time. "Gu March is confused, how can a father lock up his daughter in captivity like this?
But speaking of which, she really hasn't had much contact with other men, what a strange person.
But that's right, although Fang He is eighteen or nineteen years old, he has never had any contact with outsiders, so his mind is as simple as an eight- or nine-year-old child.
And although he has cultivation, he doesn't know how to use it, let alone how to use it for self-defense, so he will be chased by those men in black.
Gu Yueyue thought about it, and only thought that Fang He's father was afraid that his daughter would be abducted by other men, so he made up such a strange reason, so he persuaded with a smile: "It's okay, your father is talking about other bad men, my master is very good, and he won't harm you." And now in the middle of the night, not by the fire, how cold it is. Don't worry, we'll sit by the fire and won't touch him, so it won't be against your father's words. Fang He opened a pair of innocent big eyes and asked suspiciously, "Really?" Gu March nodded and said, "Of course it's true." Fang He hesitated and looked at Xu Huaigu for a while, only to see that he was just lying by the fire and closing his eyes to recuperate, and his heart was a little bolder.
And she hasn't seen a few men since she was a child, so she is also a little curious. In the end, she nodded cautiously, so she walked to the opposite side of Xu Huaigu under the leadership of Gu Yueyue and sat down with him across the fire.
The autumn night is still cool, Fang He's body is weak, it was cold before, and now as soon as he sat down, he quickly took off a wet jacket that was covered outside, put it on the fire and roasted it, and rubbed his little hands, and warmed his palms.
Xu Huaigu looked at the girl through the fire, and saw that she was as thin as a willow branch, but her body was quite tall.
The eyebrows were full of child's innocence and naivety, and seeing such a look on this eighteen-nineteen-year-old body that had gradually developed, Xu Huaigu always felt a little awkward.
It is said that the girl's father is also a strange person, and he actually raised this girl in isolation from the world since she was a child.
Although I don't worry about eating and drinking, it's a pity that I finally lost the spirit of a normal girl. Xu Huaigu just sighed slightly, and left her alone.
After all, after walking in the rivers and lakes for so many years, what kind of person has he never seen? The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and Xu Huaigu has deeply understood this truth since he walked into the rivers and lakes.
By the fire, the sitting sat and the lying lay down, no one spoke, and the forest was silent except for the faint chirping of some autumn insects.
"Fang He! Fang He! There were a few shouts in the distance, and as soon as Fang He heard it, he immediately got up anxiously, looked at the place where the voice came from, and responded: "Brother Xu, I'm here!" "Brother Xu?
Xu Huaigu was relaxing, and suddenly sat up straight. Only then did she realize that the person who came to find her should also be surnamed Xu.
He laughed at himself and fell asleep again, but he hadn't yet fallen down, but his heart felt as if he had been stabbed, and he was startled, and suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and a sword qi came out, flying straight towards Gu Yueyue.
Gu Yueyue was taken aback by Xu Huaigu's actions, and hurriedly took Fang He's hand and dodged to the side, only to see that sword qi accurately slashing in front of Gu Yueyue's eyes, and it actually offset with another sword qi coming from the forest.
Xu Huaigu jumped quickly, and his figure landed steadily in front of Gu Yue and Fang He, at this time the short sword was already in his hand, and he looked at the place where the sword qi came from solemnly.
Gu Yue was shocked, he didn't expect that he had just walked through the ghost gate. If it weren't for Xu Huaigu's protection, she would have been killed by that unknown sword qi by now.
At this time, she understood that the strength of the person who used the sword qi was far from being comparable to herself, so she hurriedly dragged Fang He to hide behind Xu Huaigu, looking at the forest outside in horror.
Fang He waved his hand in that direction and shouted, "Brother Xu, I'm here, come here!" Xu Huaigu turned his head and glared at her, his tone was cold, and he scolded: "Shut up!" It's the one surnamed Xu in your mouth, who almost killed Gu Yue, do you know it! Fang He was startled and looked at Xu Huaigu blankly.
Suddenly, her face was flushed, and tears flashed faintly in her eyes, and she was about to cry. Xu Huaigu didn't care about her, looked at the place where the sword qi came from, and said coldly: "We have no grudge against Your Excellency, why do Your Excellency want to kill people when you use your sword?" If there is any misunderstanding, you can talk about it, but if you still come up with a sword, I will accompany you to the end! Soon, a tall white-clothed figure came out of the woods, a swordsman with a sword tied around his waist.
He had long eyebrows and wide eyes, his eyes were like torches, and he stared at Xu Huaigu coldly with a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle.
The man glanced at Xu Huaigu and said in an unkind tone, "It's you who took Fang He away?" Xu Huaigu sneered disdainfully, too lazy to explain.
Seeing Xu Huaigu's sneer, the man immediately raised his eyebrows, and with a snort, he pulled out his sword and unsheathed it, and a long sword shining brightly in the night sky.
Seeing that the fight was about to start, Fang He hurriedly shouted at the man: "Brother Xu, it's not like this!" I came here on my own, and they saved my life! The man was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xu Huaigu and Gu Yueyue suspiciously, and asked, "What's going on?" Fang He, you hurry up and say it. Fang He lowered his head in fear, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered, "It was I who sneaked out of the mountain this morning and wanted to run to the town to play." As a result, I met a group of men in black on the road, and when they saw me, they chased me, saying that my father had a grudge against them and wanted to arrest me. I was scared to death, so I kept running and running, and after I came here, it was Sister Gu who beat them all away and saved me. I also told Sister Gu that after I go back, I have to thank her well, Brother Xu, don't blame them. The man listened to Fang He's explanation, paused, and then put away his sword with some embarrassment, and arched his hand and said, "I blamed you just now, I'm really sorry." It's because I'm too anxious, Fang He is my master's daughter, if something goes wrong, I won't have the face to see my master again. Since it was the two of you who saved her, I Xu has thanked her here. Xu Huaigu looked at him coldly and didn't say a word, which made the man a little unable to get off the stage.
Gu March saw this scene and knew that Xu Huaigu didn't want to give face to the man, and was afraid of causing trouble again, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, Fang He is fine now, that's enough." As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you won't know each other, and now that we meet, it can be regarded as fate. What is your name? The man said, "Xu Songtu, where is the girl?" Gu March smiled kindly: "My name is Gu March." It's really a coincidence, my master is also surnamed Xu, and his name is Xu Huaigu. Xu Songtu glanced at Xu Huaigu, whose face was cold, hesitated for a moment, but still smiled slightly, and took the initiative to speak: "I didn't expect that Daoyou also has the same surname as me, it's really a coincidence." I have offended a lot just now, please forgive me. He is also a modest person, so Xu Huaigu will not lose his temper anymore, otherwise it will seem that he is too small-bellied.
It's just that he still has a straight face and nods, as if he heard it. Xu Songtu beckoned to Fang He, and Fang He obediently walked to his side.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Xu Songtu asked anxiously: "Just now, Fang He didn't meet Xu Daoyou, right?" Gu Yue looked at him strangely, shook his head and said, "No, why are you all so concerned about this matter?" Fang He told me just now that she has always lived in the mountains. You raised a girl in isolation from the world since she was a child, although you have no worries about food and clothing, but it is not good after all. Xu Songtu sighed and said helplessly: "It's hard to say." I can't do anything about this, only Master can say it, and I can't tell the girl. Gu March nodded to indicate that he understood, and then Xu Songtu invited: "Where are Daoyou and his party going?" If you are not in a hurry, you can go to my master's mountain for a while. You are Fang He's life-saver, and Master and I should thank you very much. When the time comes, the thank-you gift will naturally be prepared. Gu Yueyue was bored from the road, and felt that Fang He was quite interesting, so he asked, "Where is your master's mountain?" Xu Songtu said: "In Suchang, which is one hundred and twenty miles away from here, it is very lively there recently, if you go, it will definitely be very fun." Gu March wanted to go, so she raised her head and begged Xu Huaigu and said, "Master, shall we go to Suchang to have a fun?" This has been on the road for a year in Feiyuzhou, and I have seen the map, Suchang is also the only way for us to go to Xinyuzong, let's go there and stop for a few days, okay? "New Rain Sect?
This name is not unfamiliar in the southeast corner of Flying Fish Island. When Xu Songtu heard this name, he was shocked, and immediately glanced at the two of them a few more times, and quietly remembered the whereabouts of the two of them.
Xu Huaigu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said;
"Okay, it's not so urgent. Then we will stay in Suchang for a month, and when you have had enough, we will continue on our way. Gu March was so happy that she jumped up, and said with a smile on her eyebrows: "Master is so good!" Let's go, let's play! ”
