Chapter 107: Lu Shen Sleepless Night Eighteen
Lu Shen Sleepless Night Eighteen Memories of Proud Baby
...
Ao Ying smiled bitterly, how could others know the pain suffered by himself and his family. However, since Du Yuesong asked, there is no need for him to hide anything, this is not an ulterior matter.
"General Du, since you asked here, it means that you still trust me. My business is not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell you about it. Ao Ying calmed down her emotions and began to tell about her hometown.
The Kangqing area is an area dominated by agriculture in Xiling. The area of 100 miles near the main city of Kangqing is full of small and medium-sized villages and fields. Aoying's home is in a small village close to Kangqing City.
Although life is poor, the villagers who have been farming for generations have become accustomed to this kind of life. The Ao Ying family is the same, life has always been very leisurely and dull.
About four years ago, the lord of Kangqing City abdicated, and soon after, the new lord of the city came, and he was Xun Yu, that is, Xun Xiang's father.
Xun Yu is a very capable person, he was an official in Tianling before coming here, and he was sent here because of his outstanding performance and loyalty on weekdays.
The arrival of Shun Yu did not bring much change to life here. However, his son Xunxiang was very playful and often went to the fields outside the city to play. Aoying met Xun Xiang at that time, but the relationship between the two was very average at that time.
When Xun Xiang was playing in the field, he was very naughty and maliciously destroyed the crops in the field. Although he was discovered, he was the son of the city lord after all, and he was still young, so he couldn't say anything, so he was just a child who was ignorant and had no intention of destroying it.
With the passage of time, Xun Xiang grew up day by day. However, instead of correcting these acts, his actions have been somewhat intensified. He often takes some friends to play in the fields, or dance knives and swords, and learn kung fu. Poor farmer's field, often spoiled by a few of them. The people had no choice, so they went to Xun Yu together and begged Xun Yu to discipline Xun Xiang and stop destroying in the fields.
Xun Yu was furious in his heart and called Xun Xiang to come and question. And Xun Xiang's reason is just to find a wide place to practice and play. After pacifying the people, Shun Yu punished Shun Xiang again, locked him in a room for two months, and released him only after his mother's plea.
Shun Xiang developed a trace of hatred from this, not for his father, but for the people who complained. He secretly decided that he wanted to take revenge on them.
One day, Xun Xiang ran out of his home alone and came to the field outside the city again, which happened to be the field of Aoying's family. Shun Xiang came here, and after making sure that there was no one around, he set fire to the good field.
Aoying had just finished his farm work and was sitting in the field resting, when he suddenly smelled the smell of burning things, so he got up to check. Seeing Xun Xiang who had not yet had time to leave and the fire that was gradually spreading, the fire in Aoying's heart suddenly came out.
He quickly rushed over regardless of the spread of the fire and came to Xun Xiang's side, "What are you doing, how can you set fire to the crops." ”
Xun Xiang looked at Ao Ying, and hurriedly quibbled: "How can I set fire to the crops, I just passed by from here, you yourself accidentally caught fire, don't put the blame on others." ”
When Ao Ying heard this, he became even more angry, "There are other people around here besides you, you didn't do it, did they burn themselves?" ”
"I don't know about this, I just know that you're here now, how can you say that I'm alone. ”
"You..."Ao Ying was a little anxious, "You are so unreasonable, be careful that I am not polite to you!"
Xun Xiang laughed, "You're welcome, interesting, I want to see how you're welcome." He continued to laugh.
At the same time as he finished saying this, Ao Ying strode forward, grabbed Xun Xiang's collar with one hand, and threw a punch with the other.
Xun Xiang has practiced for a few days, and compared with the proud baby at that time, he has a lot of speed and reaction. Although Aoying said that he made a sudden move, he was still dodged by Xun Xiang. Xun Xiang's body stepped back suddenly, and as soon as he raised his hand while dodging, an extra knife came out of his hand and was in front of Ao Ying in an instant.
"Just because you want to do it to me, how about it, are you convinced?" A smile appeared at the corner of Xun Xiang's mouth, and there was a hint of disdain and provocation in his tone.
Ao Ying is a hairy boy who farms in a farmer's field, and naturally he can't beat Xun Xiang, "Hmph, you live a worry-free life every day, leisurely dancing and playing with swords, how can I be the same as you, it's normal to beat you, how can I be convinced." ”
Xun Xiang withdrew the knife from Ao Ying's body, "Okay, don't say I'm bullying you, I'll give you a month to study." A month later, still here, you and I will compete again. If you lose again, you have to make room for me to practice here. If you can win me, I'll disappear from here and never be here again. How?"
Ao Ying thought for a while, nodded and agreed, "Okay, then it's decided, but I want to add one, if you lose, you must apologize to everyone here in person, and compensate the bookmakers who burned down here." Do you dare?"
Xun Xiang frowned, didn't he lose face? It was a trivial matter to compensate them for their losses, but it would make his father lose his temper, and maybe he would punish himself severely. Just to apologize to everyone and make yourself a little embarrassed.
"Why, you're not scared, are you?" said Aoying, scoffing.
"I'm afraid, just kidding, will I be afraid of you?" was provoked by the proud baby, Xun Xiang couldn't stand it anymore, so he agreed. Thinking about how much effort he knows, he shouldn't lose to this kid who can't do anything, even if he is given a month, "Okay, I promise, just do as you say, and in a month, we will still be here." ”
The two reached an agreement, and Xun Xiang proudly left here and headed for the city. While the two of them were fighting, someone had already discovered the fire, and everyone gathered together to suppress the fire.
Ao Ying didn't tell his family about it, but told a good friend of his, Fang Wei. Fang Wei is a peasant child from a neighboring village he met when he was selling agricultural grain in the city, his family situation is similar to his own, and his family's fields have also been destroyed by that Xun Xiang, but Fang Wei is different and arrogant, he took the initiative to show favor to Xun Xiang, and the relationship between the two has improved a little. Although Xun Xiang has always looked down on him, he only treats him as if he is a small follower of his own.
After Fang Wei learned of the situation, he made a suggestion to Aoying. He knew a friend who lived in a village in the east of the city named Xiyi. He had learned some stick techniques with others, and although he was not proficient in them, he knew some moves. You can learn a few things from him first to cope with the showdown with Shunxiang.
Ao Ying had no other way, so he followed Fang Wei's advice and learned some simple moves from Xi Liang. Proud Baby, who has never been exposed to these, discovers his extraordinary talent while learning stick skills. In addition, he is not as good as Xunxiang, and he studies very hard, whether it is during the day or at night.
Under his efforts, in a month's time, the progress has been rapid, and it has surpassed the Xilu who taught him, but I don't know how to do it better than that Xunxiang.
Finally, when the appointed time came, the two came to the original place again. Xun Xiang brought two friends, and only Fang Wei came with Ao Ying. As soon as the two sides met, Xun Xiang first saw Fang Wei standing behind Ao Ying. His face changed, and he said angrily, "Fang Wei, where are you?"
Fang Wei was startled by Xun Xiang's voice, glanced at Ao Ying, and silently walked behind Xun Xiang and lowered his head. In the face of his approach, Ao Ying didn't react, so at least he wouldn't implicate Fang Wei after he lost.
"I'm not going to show mercy today, and if it's too late for you to throw in now, at least you won't be hurt by me. Xun Xiang smiled and pulled out his knife with one hand, "The sword has no eyes, you can't cry if it hurts." ”
Ao Ying also smiled and took out a stick, which he specially prepared to use to duel with Xun Xiang, which was very strong. "The same goes for you. ”
Xun Xiang is now confident and feels that he will never be defeated. He lunged forward and took the lead in attacking, the blade in his hand flashing out.
After this month's training, Aoying's reaction speed has improved a lot, and he raises his stick to parry. In terms of overall strength, Ao Ying is still under Xunxiang, although there has been a lot of progress this month, but Xunxiang is also doing training, and the gap between the two is still there, but it has narrowed a little.
Xun Xiang is pressing step by step, and Ao Ying is fighting and retreating, looking extremely passive.
Four or five rounds later, while Ao Ying was parrying again, Xun Xiang kicked out violently and hit Ao Ying in the leg. Proud Baby's legs were strained, he was unsteady on his feet, and his body fell to the ground. Xun Xiang didn't use a knife, he punched directly, and threw a few heavy punches at the proud baby on the ground, which relieved his hatred.
Ao Ying lost his strength at this moment, and after Xun Xiang stopped attacking, he saw that his face was blue and swollen, and blood flowed out. But he is not a person who admits defeat easily, the stick in his hand is still tightly clenched, and he slowly stands up.
Xun Xiang's originally smiling face gradually became solemn after seeing Ao Ying stand up, only to blame himself for being merciful and not strong enough.
Without waiting for Aoying to stand firm, Xun Xiang rushed forward again, punching and kicking again, and secretly increased his strength, using his greatest strength. Aoying's right hand loosened under this punch and kick, the stick fell in response, and he couldn't hold on, his body fell straight down, his eyes were still open, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. Although he has been training hard for a month, he still can't beat him in the end, so how willing he is.
After Xun Xiang's punch, he was also very tired, panting heavily, wondering if the fallen Ao Ying could stand up again. The friends next to him applauded him, but he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it now.
After a while, seeing that Aoying still hadn't gotten up, Xun Xiang smiled again. Originally, I thought that there was no pressure to win this proud baby, but I didn't expect it to take a lot of effort, and I didn't expect him to be so tenacious.
Fang Wei didn't feel very sad when he saw this situation, which in itself was the result he expected. He didn't look up at the situation ahead, he still kept his head down and looked at the ground, waiting for the battle between the two to end.
Feeling that Ao Ying really couldn't get up, Xun Xiang withdrew his knife, turned around, and stretched out his arms towards Fang Wei and the three of them, indicating victory.
At this time, the proud baby on the ground suddenly moved his hands, and he didn't know where he got the strength, he slammed the ground to support his body, quickly stood up, picked up the stick on the ground, and hit the back of Xun Xiang's head. Ao Ying often does farm work on weekdays, and his strength is also very great, and this stick is even more powerful.
All this happened very quickly, and Xun Xiang was celebrating the victory, and he had not yet reacted. Suddenly, Ao Ying hit him with a stick, and he only felt a pain in his head, a sweet mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
