Eighty-seven, four maps

I only heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, the wooden door creaked open, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl poked her head out and asked, "Who is it?" Wang Xue didn't expect that the person who came to open the door would be a girl younger than herself, and she was stunned for a moment before she said loudly: "My name is Wang Xue, and I came to you, well, to ask you about someone." May I ask if this family's surname is Hao?" The girl was very smart, and when she heard Wang Xue report her name, she immediately said: "My name is Hao Rou." You said your surname is Wang, so do you know Wang Liqiang?" When Wang Xue heard this, she thought that it seemed that I had found the right person, and said, "He is my brother." The girl Hao Rou hurriedly opened the door and said, "Please come in." ”

Wang Xue walked in the door and walked into the guest hall along the small courtyard under the guidance of Hao Rou. Wang Xue stood in front of the hall and saw that the courtyard was very desolate, the only path was also covered by weeds, and the tables and chairs in the living room were full of dust. Hao Rou blushed, found a broom rag to clean up two wooden chairs, and said: "I am the only one living in the house, no one has come to this guest hall for a long time, I am alone, and I am too lazy to clean up." Miss Wang, sit down!"

Wang Xue sat on a chair, and Hao Rou sat beside her. Wang Xue asked: "In such a big house, why are you the only one living alone, what about your father and mother?" Hao Rou smiled bitterly: "They were all killed by bad people." Wang Xue was stunned, and immediately regretted that she shouldn't ask her more, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "You mentioned my brother Wang Liqiang, how could you get acquainted with him?" Hao Rou said: "The last time I met Wang Liqiang, he was sitting on the chair you were sitting on at the moment. Wang Xue asked, "When did my brother come and why did he come here?"

Hao Rou was about to answer, and suddenly thought to herself: "She claims to be Wang Liqiang's sister, but Wang Liqiang has never mentioned that she has a sister, she suddenly came here, but she doesn't know what, don't she be a traitor sent by the enemy?"

Wang Xue got up and said, "Miss Hao, don't be suspicious, I am indeed Wang Liqiang's biological sister." Believe it or not. With a slight luck under her feet, her body rushed behind Hao Rou, and without waiting for Hao Rou to turn around, a dragon fist swept over Hao Rou's head, scattering her long hair. Wang Xue said: "My Wang family's boxing is not a great kung fu, there are not a thousand but eight hundred heroes in the world who practice this boxing technique, but this trick back to the dragon fist is my family heirloom mastery, only our family's disciples will do this." This offends you. He bowed with his fists in apology. She was anxious to confirm her identity and learn about her brother's past, but she couldn't imagine that in the eyes of a girl like Hao Rou who didn't know martial arts at all, no matter how difficult she was to learn, she couldn't recognize it, so how could she prove her identity?

Hao Rou saw that Wang Xue's eyes were warm and her words were modest, but she also believed her for eight or nine points, and asked: "Sister Wang Xue, why are you coming to me?" Wang Xue said: "It's not a secret, I heard the people in the rivers and lakes say that my brother is a despicable villain, saying that he used to force the descendants of the four famous generals in order to get a treasure map and martial arts secrets, he ...... "Before the words fell, Hao Rouhuo stood up and interjected: "What nonsense! Wang Liqiang is a great hero and a great knight, which beast slanders him as a despicable villain?" Wang Xue couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Hao Rou suddenly become angry, and thought: "After Wang Lijie was poisoned, he acted like a crazy beast, you said that he was a beast, but it was not an insult, but I said that my brother was a great hero and a great hero, I am afraid that it will make the heroes and knights of the world embarrassed." I couldn't help but sneer. Hao Rou saw Wang Xue laughing, and said that she was protecting her brother, which made her happy, how could she guess that she had another idea in her heart, and said: "If it weren't for Wang Liqiang sacrificing his life to save him, if my life is not here at this moment, I don't know how many innocent heroes will die on the rivers and lakes, how can I say that he is a despicable villain?"

Hao Rou said: "That year, a group of bandits came to Beiling, claiming to be the Gang of Wicked People. These bandits are cruel and powerful, and they will kill people with knives without saying a word, and it is rare that their martial arts are surprisingly high. The four famous generals were like thunder back then, and less than one or two percent of kung fu was passed on to us disciples and grandchildren, and I didn't know how to do it at all, so where was the opponent of the Gang of Wicked People? Speaking of this, her voice trembled slightly, and she didn't know whether she remembered the past and was extremely afraid of the wicked gang, or she thought of the humiliation of the past, and felt angry. Wang Xuexin said: "It turns out that you are the descendant of the four famous generals. Hey, I'm stupid! You're a great talker, and you're living in a depraved house, I should have thought about it. ”

Hao Rou said again: "One night, a sturdy man suddenly broke into my yard. I was startled, thinking that the wicked gang had come to the door, but I heard the man say, 'Don't be afraid, little girl, my name is Wang Liqiang, and I am here to help you in rape.' As he spoke, he took out three maps and put them in front of me. I was even more shocked and speechless, our four ancestors hid the gold and silver they had knocked down and the secret note, leaving only a map, divided into four pieces and kept by the four families respectively, Wang Liqiang got three of them, that is since he saw the other three families. I think it would be easy for him to snatch the last remaining map from my hand and find the treasure in the future, fame and fortune. But he didn't covet these things outside of him, and he handed me the three maps together, and told me to take them with me and find a place to hide, saying that the Wicked would soon come to rob and kill people. It turned out that Wang Liqiang learned that the Wicked Gang attacked our Beiling, not only for gold and silver money, but also to get that martial arts secret. He said that his reinforcements had not arrived at the moment, and he alone could not defeat many of the opponents, so he had to hide the map first. ”

Wang Xueqi said: "In this way, my brother is really a heroic hero, how can he be a despicable villain?" Hao Rou said: "You said that he was a despicable villain, but I have always said that he was a great hero! At that time, the situation was really dangerous, the descendants of the other three famous generals had been killed, and my family members were also killed one after another, thanks to Wang Liqiang who recaptured the map from the villains in time, and came in time to report for me, otherwise not only would my life not be there, the wicked gangs would get the secrets, and the rivers and lakes would be bloody." Later, Wang Liqiang never appeared again, thinking that he was chased and killed by the Villains Gang too quickly, so he left Beiling. I felt that this place was unstable, so I wanted to pack up my baggage and go out to hide for a while, but as soon as I went out, I saw a few young people on the street asking about the whereabouts of the Wicked Gang, and it turned out that Wang Liqiang's help had arrived, and he came to settle accounts with the Wicked Gang. At that time, the Gang of Wicked Men was entrenched in the Jingwang Mansion, and the young men found out about their whereabouts, so they went straight to the Jingwang Mansion. I saw that things had changed, so I quietly followed those people and went to Jingwang's Mansion.

When the young men arrived at the Jingwang Mansion, they lost their word and fought with the Wicked Gang. I hid under the corner of the wall and poked my head out to watch quietly, and saw one of the young men, very good at martial arts, he walked back and forth between the crowds, like flowing water, that light skill, really chic and handsome. The leader of the Wicked Gang, furious, rushed up and fought the young man. Their gang leader's martial arts are really high, so high that I can't think of it, I don't think even if my ancestor is resurrected, he may not have this skill. But the young man was still a cut above him, and I heard the wicked gang leader scream and fled backwards in embarrassment, his right arm hanging down beside him and shaking back and forth, as the young man had been knocked off. The leader of the wicked gang was no match for the young man, and fled in a hurry with a few of his men, and did not even take away the loot.

The young man gasped for breath, suddenly turned his head to my side, and said with a smile, 'The bad guys have gone away, you can come out.' For he had already seen me. I knew he wasn't a bad guy and walked out. He said that he was sent by Habamen, and asked me if any of Habamen's disciples had been here before. When I said no, he frowned and said no more.

The young man stayed here for a while and then left. Before leaving, he called out to the three junior brothers and one junior sister who had come with him, and ordered them to stay in Northridge for another year, telling them to beware of the wicked gang's return to kill again. ”

Wang Xue nodded and praised in a low voice: "Senior Brother Liu was still very young at that time, but he was also so thoughtful. Hao Rouqi said: "Do you also know what happened back then? It turns out that the senior brother's surname is Liu." Wang Xue said with a smile: "It's not a secret, I entered the Haba Gate last year, and my senior brother mentioned it a little about Beiling. Hao Rou nodded and said, "It turns out that you are Senior Brother Liu's junior sister, I really didn't expect this." The four Habmen friends had lived in Northridge for more than a year, and the Wicked had never been seen again, and since their defeat that day, they had scattered everywhere, and rarely moved around the rivers and lakes. Those four senior brothers and sisters felt that they had fulfilled Senior Brother Liu's life, and they were about to resign from me, not wanting anything else to happen at this moment. ”

Wang Xueqi said: "What's the matter, is the Wicked Gang back again?" Hao Rou said: "That's not it." On that day, a senior brother suddenly received a letter from a fellow disciple, and when he read the letter, he was shocked, and then fell to the ground and wept. It turned out that the letter said that their sect had passed away in the middle of last month, and the dragons in the gate were leaderless, and all the disciples went their separate ways, and now they have been disbanded. Wang Xue hurriedly asked: "In that case, what about these four Habamen senior brothers in Beiling, what are their plans? Where are they now?" Hao Rou pursed her lips and said: "You are a Habamen person, I should have asked you about this matter, why did you ask me about me in turn?" Wang Xue said: "I said that I only entered the Haba Gate last year, where do I know what happened a few years ago, I don't even know the names of these three senior brothers and that senior sister." Hao Rou smiled lightly and said: "The three senior brothers discussed with the senior sister, some said that they would go away to a foreign land, and from then on they would go into seclusion and no longer set foot in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, some said that they would go to Zhenwumen or the Giant Dog Gang, and some said that they would continue to stay here to beware of the return of the wicked, and by the way, they would also wait for the senior brother to come back to find him." When they disagreed, they dispersed, and they were never heard from again. I remembered that Wang Li had given me a few map fragments that day, and I always felt that such an important thing was too unstable in my hands, so I gave three of the map fragments to the three senior brothers and asked them to help take care of them, and the remaining map fragments were kept with me for two or three years. This broken map is very harmful, and for this map, the wicked gang came to the door, and I don't know how many people were killed. Sometimes I get angry and want to burn this broken map, but I think that this map was the result of the painstaking efforts of our ancestors, how can I easily burn it? I hide this little map and have never looked at it for years. ”

Wang Xue nodded slightly, thinking: "My brother and Senior Brother Liu are out of harmony, and they can't get along with several other senior brothers and sisters of Habamen. He is also an arrogant and anxious man, and he is reluctant to explain when he has a misunderstanding, not to mention that his character is not very good, which makes people mistakenly think that he is a despicable villain who wants to rob treasures and secrets. In fact, although my brother is not a good person, he is not a person who forgets his righteousness, and in this matter, he is indeed like a hero. The next time I see Senior Brother Liu, I have to tell him about it, and ask him to help spread the word, so that no one will insult him again. ”

Hao Rou asked softly, "Sister Wang Xue, what are you thinking?" Wang Xue smiled: "It's nothing." Suddenly thinking of something, he asked: "Hao Rou, you said that you have not looked at that small piece of map hidden in a stable place for many years, maybe that map has been stolen by gangsters during this period, but it is difficult to say." Hao Rou said: "I hate that map, and I don't know if anyone is secretly staring at me, so I don't dare to look at it from time to time." But the map was so good that it was never stolen. Wang Xueqi said: "How do you know?" Hao Rou grinned and said, "I folded the map and sewed it into my little pillow, and I could feel it every night when I slept with the pillow on it." I didn't lose my pillow, I never had an outsider at home, and the map was safe and sound. Wang Xue smiled and said, "You are quite smart at a young age." ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a person on the roof beam laughing, and said loudly: "I have been waiting here for several days, and today I finally learned where the map is, and it is really worth the hardships of the wind and frost of the past few days!" Hao Rou was shocked when she heard this, and shouted at the beam above her head: "Who are you? Come out quickly!" But the man no longer answered.

Wang Xue thought badly, and hurriedly turned her head and asked Hao Rou, "Which room do you usually sleep in?" Hao Rou raised her hand and pointed to the right and said, "The small room in the north." Wang Xue hurriedly walked out of the living hall and saw the small room Hao Rou said at a glance. I saw the door open, and I swaggered out of it. He was holding a small old flower cloth pillow in his arms, which must have hidden one of the pieces of the map that Hao Rou had said.

Seeing Wang Xue, he stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help." If it weren't for you today, I wouldn't have been able to wait for another ten days and ten nights to wait for someone to accompany this little girl to talk to relieve her boredom, and she wouldn't easily tell where the map is. Hao Rou had already rushed over at this time, and when she saw the evil, her little face turned pale with fright, and she exclaimed: "You are the big villain who killed my father and uncle!" The evil sneered: "You have a good memory, they are waiting for you below, I will send you to see your father, and I want your whole family to reunite, you don't have to thank me!" The left hand still held the pillow under the armpit, and the right hand took out a ghost dart from his arms and threw it towards Hao Rou's heart.

Wang Xue waved his robe, wrapped the ghost dart in his hand, and said awe-inspiringly: "Even the little girl will not let go, you are really cruel." He thought that his skills were above Wang Xue, and he was not afraid of her, and said with a hippie smile: "Thank you for the praise, what do you want?" Wang Xue said: "You put down the pillow honestly, I don't embarrass you." Otherwise, I'll break your hands so that you can't dart again. He laughed evilly, "How can you hit me when you are so far away?" Get closer to me so that you can break my hands." He took a few steps forward. Hao Rou exclaimed and hid behind Wang Xue. Wang Xue knew that he was about to make a move immediately, but he was afraid that his fists and feet would have no eyes and hurt Hao Rou, so he whispered to Hao Rou: "You hide farther away, so as not to hurt you by mistake." I'll leave it to my sister to deal with here, and it'll be fine. Hao Rou hid behind a tree and quietly poked her head out to look.

Wang Xue said: "Your ghost dart, give it back to you!" The ghost dart held in his right hand hurried towards the evil face. The great expert in making evil weapons move, turned his head slightly, and avoided it. Wang Xue praised: "Good kung fu!" stretched out his right hand and snatched the pillow in his arms. Move evil to the side to give up half a step, cut his right palm, swing Wang Xue's right arm, lift his left leg in the ground, and kick Wang Xue's right shoulder. Wang Xue's waist twisted, and there was already an extra token in her left hand, and she ran to the side of the evil in two steps, stabbing him in the right rib acupoint. When the evil detective heard about the important events of the year, he got another map, where are he willing to entangle with Wang Xue at the moment? He jumped onto the low house behind him and said, "When I practice the secret skills, I will be the first to come back to take care of you." In the past few days, you can practice light skills well, and when you are chased and killed by me, you can escape faster, and maybe you can live for an extra day or two, haha. Wang Xue said secretly: "It's not good, he's going to escape!" With the luck of his feet, he was about to jump to the low house, and suddenly saw a ghost dart coming head-on, so he hurriedly bent down to avoid it, and then raised his head, and the evil had jumped down from behind the house and fled.

Wang Xue was not small in shock, thinking that the Gang of Wicked People was now so vicious, if he got the secret tips and treasures, he would practice his magic skills every day, wouldn't the rivers and lakes be tragically destroyed by a hundred years of catastrophe? Wang Xue walked to the road in two steps, and casually picked the nearest path to catch up. Although she didn't know if she had fled from this way, she was in a hurry at the moment, and she couldn't care about it, so she just bumped into her luck. Just as he was about to catch up, he suddenly thought to himself: "I only got one of the maps now, and there are still three that he has not yet obtained, I only need to grab one or two of them, and I am not afraid that he will find the secret book, so why bother looking for him and chasing him?" walked back to the courtyard and asked Hao Roudao: "You said that you handed over the remaining three maps to the three senior brothers of Habamen, what are their names and where do they live?"

Hao Rou said: "You yourself are a person from Habamen, why do you ask me in turn?" Wang Xue hurriedly said: "I have already said, I started last year, and I only heard about the things back then, and I don't know the details." But what he thought about was something else: "That's a good thing, if I hadn't come here to ask about the things back then, Hao Rou wouldn't have said anything about the map, I did a great favor to the wicked." Hao Rou is young and doesn't know martial arts, she doesn't know that someone is secretly spying on her, but why am I so confused, I can't even see a big living person hidden in the room. For a while, he didn't think that the evil martial arts were not under him, and he would be more cautious when he saw himself entering the hospital, how could he easily detect it? Hao Rou said: "One of the three senior brothers is called Kang Zhong, one is called Xie Jie, and the other is called Zhang Leicheng. The remaining person is a senior sister named Zhou Yuan. I saw that she was delicate and fair-skinned, and she didn't look like a person who knew martial arts, so I didn't dare to give her one of the maps. I've heard that some of them have gone away and are a bit of a seclusion, but I don't know where they live. ”

Wang Xue thought to herself: "Even you don't know where they are, and they won't know if they are evil, even if the wicked gang is ten times more powerful, they may not be able to find them for a while, and I don't have to worry about it." He asked, "Do you have any relatives or friends around here, or neighbors who are closer?" Hao Rou said, "My neighbors are very good to me." Wang Xue said: "You go to the neighbor's house and stay for a few days, so that the wicked gang will not be able to find the map and come back to find you trouble." I'm going to find those brothers, take care of the map, and don't let the map be robbed by the wicked gangs again. Hao Rou nodded and said, "I'll pack up my things and leave immediately." Sister Wang Xue, you have to be careful!" Wang Xue stretched out her hand and touched the top of Hao Rou's head lightly, and said, "Hao Rou, don't worry, my sister will not be in trouble." ”
