Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of Life Chapter 48 Trust or Not
Seeing that Wang Xiaotian did not continue the pursuit, the strong man hurriedly shook his arm and used the Force to dispel the sour numbness.
After a while, the numbness gradually dissipated, and the strong man raised his fist again and said, "Boy, you are still young, you don't need to go through this troubled water." If you leave, I will not be difficult for you. How about the two of us?"
Wang Xiaotian knew that the strong man was already timid, and said: "This is exactly what I want to say, if you leave, I will not be difficult for you." ”
When the two companions of the strong man heard this, they felt angry and funny, and wanted to ridicule Wang Xiaotian, but they didn't know how to say anything. After all, it was the strong man who suffered just now.
One of them said: "Hurry up and don't show mercy." ”
Stimulated by his companions, the strong man was even more angry, waving his fists like a comet hitting the moon, hitting Wang Xiaotian's chest.
Wang Xiaotian did not dodge or dodge, and the long sword in his hand conjured up a basin-sized, green light, and greeted the strong man's chest.
The strong man was secretly happy in his heart. He felt that he had already tried, Wang Xiaotian, who was bad for him, the strength of the little bastard, he just stood still, and that little bastard couldn't break his defense.
His arm was numb just now, but the little bastard just happened to hit the numb tendon in his back elbow. This time, that little bastard doesn't know the height of the sky, and he has to teach him a lesson in whatever he says.
The sword light slammed into the strong man's chest. The strong man didn't feel much pain. So, he rushed over regardless of the acceleration. He believed that as long as two fists hit the little bastard, with the little bastard's weak little body, he would definitely break a few bones.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the strong man only felt that his chest was as if he had been caught by a claw of the crazy giant claw bear, not only did he take two steps back, but the fourth-level armor he was wearing was broken through the defense, and there were several more wounds on his chest.
Not only was the strong man in disbelief, but the onlookers were also shocked. The third-level weapon couldn't break through the fourth-level armor at all, let alone break through the cultivator's defense, which made him injured. This is the basic consensus. But how did this consensus come to be broken this time......?
So everyone looked at Wang Xiaotian suspiciously.
Wang Xiaotian put on a smug look, "Combat skills are also very important. Although it is a third-level weapon, as long as the combat skills are used exquisitely, it can still win you. ”
The strong man chuckled in his heart. He originally thought that although Wang Xiaotian's Force level was higher than him, he was limited by the third-level weapon, and the lethality that could be unleashed was limited.
But now that Wang Xiaotian is skilled in battle, the Force control is very exquisite, and the speed of the sword is very fast, he is not his opponent at all, but a situation where he is bound to lose.
It's just that Wang Xiaotian said just now that if Wang Xiaotian wins and wants to listen to Wang Xiaotian, then if he admits defeat, won't he be at the mercy of Wang Xiaotian at will?
The strong man immediately exchanged glances with the other two.
After the three of them made eye contact. The older middle-aged swordsman said to Wang Xiaotian: "Little friend, it's just a competition, why bother? ”
Wang Xiaotian glanced at the strong man, "Do you still want to be shameless?" Did you leave a line for this old man just now?"
The strong man's face was suddenly full of shame.
The middle-aged swordsman knew that what he said was inappropriate, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he argued: "We just want a small amount of money, and we don't really want to hurt his life." Besides, how can you be so busy and ruthless?"
Wang Xiaotian sneered in his heart, his mouth was really two skins, and everything he said made sense. He said innocently: "I have long advised you to stop, but you don't listen." ”
The middle-aged swordsman felt that Wang Xiaotian's words were very harsh, and couldn't help but say, "Little friend, don't look at no one. It's just a fluke and a half, what's the big deal?"
Wang Xiaotian nodded seriously, "You're right, it's really nothing big." ”
The middle-aged swordsman became even more reasonable, "Besides, it's just a competition, and it's up to the point." If you really fight with your fate, hehe, do you think you can take advantage of it? How old are you? It has only been a few days since you advanced to the fourth level of the Force? How can the Force refine the physical effect, how strong can it be? How can it be compared with a veteran like us who has been promoted for more than ten years?"
"What's more, martial arts are water grinding kung fu, how can you compare to our decades of hard work at such a young age?"
The longer it takes to promote a certain realm, the more stable the realm, and the better the effect of the Force on the body's tempering and ascension. This is the general consensus of the spiritual community.
Based on this common sense, the middle-aged swordsman thought that it would not take long for Wang Xiaotian to be promoted to the fourth-level Force. In fact, he guessed accurately.
Wang Xiaotian had indeed just been promoted to the fourth level of the Force not long after. But what he didn't know was that Wang Xiaotian was not an ordinary cultivator.
The general consensus of practitioners is not appropriate for him. In the words of the old fox man, Wang Xiaotian, who has a perfect body, is definitely a second kill for the same level!
Just now, Wang Xiaotian didn't want to overdo things, so he left a little strength. Now, he decided not to show mercy to his subordinates and directly intimidate them with force.
So, he looked at the middle-aged swordsman calmly and said, "He will lose, and so will you." ”
Wang Xiaotian's indifferent and breezy expression was simply saying, "I'm not targeting someone, I'm saying that everyone here is rubbish." ”
The middle-aged swordsman was immediately annoyed. He jumped off the wildebeest a few steps and came to Wang Xiaotian, "Cang Changchang" drew his sword out of the sheath, and shouted: "Please advise!"
Before his words fell, Wang Xiaotian moved.
Everyone only felt a flower in front of them, and when they looked at it again, Wang Xiaotian was still standing in place, but the long sword in the hands of the middle-aged swordsman had been taken out of his hand, and "dang long" fell to the ground.
The middle-aged swordsman's face was like ashes. He originally thought that he was experienced, and even if Wang Xiaotian was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, he must be lacking in experience.
But he didn't expect that under Wang Xiaotian's perverted sword speed, he didn't even have a chance to make a move.
Just now, Wang Xiaotian approached him as fast as lightning, and the tip of the sword returned to his wrist at once, without dragging mud and water at all. The orientation, angle, and strength are just right.
How could such a perverted sword speed and skillful swordsmanship appear in a teenage child?
In the dull gaze of everyone, Wang Xiaotian's gaze swept over the red-faced strong man and the middle-aged swordsman with a dead face, and finally fell on the face of their other big fat accomplice, and said slowly: "Look, I'm right. ”
The big fat man was sweating profusely. He didn't care about wiping his sweat, nodded vigorously again and again, and threw out the beads of sweat on his face, "Mmmm, you're right." ”
Wang Xiaotian nodded, pointed at the old man, and looked at the three of them: "You injured this old man, what do you say?"
The middle-aged swordsman and the big fat man exchanged glances, and then the two of them turned their heads to look at the strong man in unison. Their meaning is obvious, the strong man himself has caused trouble, and he must bear it himself.
Under the threatening gaze of the two, the strong man took out a stack of banknotes from his arms with a painful face, walked to Wang Xiaotian and handed it over.
Wang Xiaotian took the banknote, walked a few steps to the old man and handed it to him. The old man held the banknote and was speechless with excitement. Originally, he just went to the doctor in a hurry, wanting to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, but he didn't think that Wang Xiaotian gave him a big surprise.
At this time, the strong man, the middle-aged swordsman and the big fat man each quietly got on the wildebeest and walked away with a clip of the horse's belly.
When everyone heard the movement, they looked at the backs of the three people who had fled into the wilderness, and immediately burst into loud laughter.
Wang Xiaotian didn't laugh. He returned the long sword to the old man and said, "Old man, you hurry back to Shangyang City and find a place to rest." I'm going to find my companion, so I'm not going with you. ”
The old man held his hand and said eagerly: "Young man, you can't go." ”
Wang Xiaotian was puzzled.
The old man approached him and whispered: "If you leave, it is difficult to guarantee that there are still bad intentions among these people, what if he robs the old man's money? ”
Wang Xiaotian knew that what the old man said was not impossible, but too possible. The old man was not lightly wounded and had little combat effectiveness. And he also has a huge amount of money that he just gotten.
If Wang Xiaotian left at this time, those guys with bad intentions would definitely rob the old man's belongings and leave. Aren't those three guys just now a living example? However, if Wang Xiaotian took the old man with him, the speed of his journey would be slowed down a lot.
Wang Xiaotian was now very worried about Ling Yanzi in his heart. He was afraid that if she turned around blindly on the mountain without knowing the direction, she would meet Ding Jian or Zhang Yihuo. These two guys have just been cheated by themselves, and when they meet Ling Yanzi, they will definitely be angry with her.
He was also worried that there would be some other bad guy who would have the idea of beating Ling Yanzi.
Because after what happened just now, Wang Xiaotian suddenly realized that this world is not "prosperous and prosperous, and the years are quiet", but just a jungle world with a coat of clothing.
Ling Yanzi looks at the society with rich experience, in fact, she has only come out for a while, and her heart is not strong enough, except for the "feather streamer", there is no means of self-protection, it is simply a little fat sheep who has just jumped out of the sheepfold!
Coupled with her beauty and simple thinking, she is definitely the best target to be pitted.
The more Wang Xiaotian thought about it, the more worried he became, and he couldn't wait to find Ling Yanzi immediately, but this old man couldn't leave it alone.
What to do?
Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Old man, I'm really in a hurry. If you can trust me and give me the money, you go to the Shiweixian Restaurant in Shangyang City, where my companion and I will meet. What do you think?"
When Wang Xiaotian said this, he had already made a plan in his heart. If the old man trusts him, he will never cheat the old man, and after meeting at the Shiweixian Restaurant in Shangyang City, the money will be returned to the old man, and he will also give the old man a sum of money to let him spend his old age in peace.
He did this because, trust, is priceless.
If the old man refuses, then ......
As the saying goes, "The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are." ”
As the saying goes, "When you meet people, you can only say three points, and you can't cut all your hearts." ”
The reason for this is nothing more than that people have been in society for a long time, they have been deceived over and over again, and they are afraid of being deceived, and it is difficult to trust others.
Trust is easy to say, but hard to do. In ancient times, how many emperors and generals fell in love with each other and killed each other, and the reason is nothing more than no longer trusting.
How many fathers, sons, brothers, relatives and friends turn against each other, in the final analysis, it is also because they don't trust each other.
What's more, now this world where the weak eat the strong and the fist is respected?
As the saying goes, "the bag is safe". After all, money is still on oneself to be sure.
These are the thoughts of ordinary people.
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's just a matter of making different decisions in the face of choices.
Those old rivers and lakes who have been ravaged by a miserable life for most of their lives, for Wang Xiaotian's proposal, their inner thoughts must be politely refused.
Even if this money is Wang Xiaotian's great effort.
In order to comfort themselves, they will definitely come up with such high-sounding reasons as "I am hurt for this, and I deserve this", and so on.
Wang Xiaotian also had a plan in his heart. If the old man chooses to stay by himself, he will get up and leave without stopping. As for what will happen to the old man after he leaves, it has nothing to do with Wang Xiaotian.
"Everyone is responsible for their own choices. "This is the principle that Wang Xiaotian believes in. How to choose is the old man's own business, and the consequences should also be borne by himself, and he can't complain about others.
But the old man's choice was beyond everyone's expectations.
