One hundred and sixty-seven, chase and fight
The bandit standing at the forefront pulled out his waist knife from his waist, pointed the tip of the knife forward, pointed in the direction of Zhao Xiaocao's chest, and shouted: "Kill them!" The bandits shouted one after another, swiped the blade in their hands, and ran towards Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen.
Zhao Xiaocao was originally going to fight with the bandits, but her girl's family was timid after all, and when she saw the thieves being so intimidating, she was so frightened that she had no master, and stood on the ground in a daze, at a loss. Hu Xiaochen hurriedly said: "Let's run away!" The bandit who was running at the front had already rushed to Zhao Xiaocao's body at this time, raised his long knife and slashed at the top of Zhao Xiaocao's head. Seeing that this knife was about to see Zhao Xiaocao in half, Hu Xiaochen suddenly flew up his right leg and kicked the thief's wrist. The bandit screamed, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground. Hu Xiaochen then flew out his left fist and struck at the root of the thief's ear, and the thief fell down and fainted. Zhao Xiaocao woke up like a dream at this time, and when he saw Hu Xiaochen's kung fu, he was surprised and happy, and shouted: "It turns out that you also know kung fu!" Hu Xiaochen said: "I have learned some martial arts since I was a child. As he spoke, he grabbed Zhao Xiaocao's wrist and led her to escape from the mountain.
The two fled halfway up the mountain, and when they turned around, they saw that the bandit was still chasing not far from the bottom of the mountain, and they knew that the bandit had moved to kill, and they had to kill the two of them. Zhao Xiaocao shouted loudly: "Stinky bandit, do you think my sister and I are afraid of you?" bent down and picked up a small stone, and carried out the internal strength of the hidden weapon in the Haba operation, and with a flick of his wrist, the stone flew out with a whizz, and smashed on the head of the bandit who was chasing first. In the moonlight, I saw the bandit screaming loudly, and a ball of blood burst out of his head, and he fell on his back. Hu Xiaochen praised: "Good kung fu!" Zhao Xiaocao saw that there were still three enemy bandits climbing this way under the mountain, and thought that he would simply throw three more stones, and take care of the three of them together, seeing that there were still a few gravels on the grass two steps away on the left, he hurriedly took a big step to the left, bent down, and was about to pick it up, when a big foot suddenly stepped over and stepped on the back of Zhao Xiaocao's hand, Zhao Xiaocao screamed in pain. The foot suddenly lifted up again and kicked Zhao Xiaocao in the face. Zhao Xiaocao fell hard, and blood spurted out from both nostrils. Hu Xiaochen shouted angrily, flew over and fought with the person who attacked Zhao Xiaocao. Zhao Xiaocao wiped a handful of nosebleeds, got up and looked, only to see four or five thieves standing around, surrounding himself and Hu Xiaochen. It turned out that the bandits were familiar with the mountain roads, and when they chased and killed Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen, they were surrounded and intercepted in two ways, Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen lacked experience in facing the enemy, and they didn't see the surrounding situation clearly when it was dark, so they lost their guard for a while and didn't see the intercepted bandits.
Zhao Xiaocao shouted angrily: "Stinky bandits, you are coming at me!" ran behind Hu Xiaochen and fought with several bandits. The three thieves at the bottom of the mountain had already rushed up by this time. Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen both knew in their hearts that with their martial arts, they could not defeat many people on the other side, but at this moment, they were surrounded by enemies and couldn't escape, so they had to fight hard.
At this time, only to listen to the sound of the horse's hooves under the mountain, accompanied by the jingling bell, everyone invariably stopped fighting, looked down the mountain, only to see a tall horse under the mountain slowly walking, the horse's hair is bright, the saddle, the bridle head is draped with a lot of jewelry, just look at the horse and know that the owner of the horse must be very rich, but the figure of the person is much smaller than the horse, although everyone can see the horse in the night light, but for a while can not see the passengers on the horse.
The bandit at the head shouted, "Earn money first, kill people last, come with me!" The rest of the bandits didn't care about chasing and killing Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen anymore, and followed the bandits led down the mountain. Zhao Xiaocao shouted at the passenger at the bottom of the mountain, "The bandit is coming, run away!" A thief took out a short sword from his waist and turned around and threw it at Zhao Xiaocao's throat. Hu Xiaochen shouted sharply: "Be careful!" flew and threw Zhao Xiaocao to the grass, dodging the blow of the flying sword.
The silence in the forest at night, Zhao Xiaocao's shout, immediately the passenger obviously heard, if he drove away on horseback, the bandit may not be able to catch up, but the passenger did not hear it, and the horse walked idly until the bandit ran onto the avenue and blocked the road before and after.
Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran down the mountain, blocking in front of the horse to stop the bandits. The bandit at the head shouted loudly: "The bandit has the rules of the bandit, take the initiative to surrender, and the money and property will not be killed, the horses and money will be left, and the three of you can go!" Zhao Xiaocao looked at the bandit and said: "Money is something outside the body, why do you care?" This sentence she said to the bandit, in fact, it was also said to the passenger on the horse behind her. The thief said angrily: "You don't preach to me, do you want money or death!"
Immediately, the passenger said loudly: "As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, if you have to give up your money and your life, it is important to give up your money and save your life." Everyone listened to the passenger's politeness and generosity, and their hearts were stunned. Zhao Xiaocao looked back, and saw that the horse was riding a handsome young man wearing long silk and long hair shawl, who was about the same age as himself, and saw that the young man had a green iron sword hanging from his waist, and the young man was obviously a person with martial arts, and suddenly his heart was broken: "No wonder you don't run away when you hear me shouting about bandits, it turns out that you are proud of your martial arts and are not afraid of blocking the road and robbing you." Then he glanced at the silk clothes worn by the young man, and thought: "Where can the people of the rivers and lakes afford to wear silk clothes, even if they can afford to wear them, the people of the rivers and lakes will not wear silk and satin when they go north and south, look at your appearance, if you are not the son of a rich man, you are a scholarly family, but you are a person with martial arts, this is strange." ”
The thief said, "Since you also know that you should 'give up your money and property to save your life', I will not embarrass you, the horses are left, and you can go." The young man turned over and dismounted, and said, "With just a few of you little thieves, you can still deal with the contemptible people, why do you need to give up your wealth to save your life?" Zhao Xiaocao saw that this young man was light and good-looking when he turned over and dismounted, and he expected that this young man's martial arts were higher than his own, so he had confidence in his heart, and said: "In this case, it is interesting for the three of us brothers and sisters to fight with the bandits." The young man bowed to Zhao Xiaocao and said happily: "Contemptible Changlong, thank you for this little brother and this girl." Zhao Xiaocao snorted and thought, "It turns out that your name is Chang Long." ”
The thief shouted and scolded, "Your mother-in-law and mother said that in the end, they still gave up their lives and money. Chang Long laughed and said, "Exactly, exactly!" The bandit couldn't bear it, showed his scimitar, and ran in front of Chang Long, with the blade from the bottom up, picking at Chang Long's lower abdomen. Chang Long leaned slightly, dodged the blade, pulled out the green sword with his right hand, and stabbed at the bandit in the shoulder. The thief raised his knife to block the pilot, and kicked Chang Long with his flying legs. Chang Long turned his sword, and the sword slammed into the bandit, removing the strength from his legs. The two exchanged dozens of moves in one go, and they both admired each other's martial arts.
Zhao Xiaocao watched the two fight on the side, only sweating on her forehead, she thought that with the power of Hu Xiaochen and Chang Long, the three of them should be able to teach the thieves a lesson, at this time she saw Chang Long's martial arts, although it was not under herself, but it was not much higher than herself, with the martial arts of the three of her at the moment, she was definitely not the enemy of a dozen bandits, and she was secretly worried: "The bandits are attacking all at this time, and it is strange that we are not hacked to death by random knives." ”
Chang Long suddenly changed his move, his wrist shook three times in a row, and the green sword in his hand stabbed at the thief again and again, forcing the thief to take a step back, and before the thief could attack again, he hurriedly raised his sword and shouted: "Wait!" The thief said: "What do you want, it's still too late to surrender now." Chang Long said angrily: "You are a dignified man, how come you don't know any shame, and you actually use tricks and tricks to plot behind your back!" The thief didn't understand what he meant, and said, "What are you going to do?" Chang Long said: "The knife you cut at the right time is obviously a sound to the east and west, tricking me to block to the left, if I really block to the left, you will swing the knife and cut off my right arm." The thief said: "Of course, if you refuse to surrender, why should I cut off your right arm?" Chang Long said: "My father often said that a gentleman is upright, thick and smooth, you have sinister intentions, and you are cruel, isn't it the way of a gentleman?" The thief was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Fuck, Lao Tzu is doing the business of robbing houses and houses, killing people and setting fires is a common thing, but you tell me what a gentleman is not a gentleman." His heart suddenly said: "Yes, this stupid boy is a gentleman, he just follows his family to practice sword and martial arts on weekdays, but he has never been in the rivers and lakes, he has never fought with the people in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know that martial arts are sinister, and he said that I am competing with him in martial arts and swords, no wonder he is not afraid at all." With a plan, he said with a smile: "Your Excellency has taught you a lesson, no wonder you say that heroes are young men!" he said and took a step closer to Chang Long, bowing slightly, as if he was about to bend down.
Zhao Xiaocao saw that the thief's face was cunning, and he knew that something was wrong, so he shouted: "Be careful!"
Chang Long is a young master Kuo, he rarely goes out on weekdays, and he doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister, but he is not a fool after all, the thief approached with a knife, he was already a little guarded, and then he heard Zhao Xiaocao's words and woke up, his heart sank, and he hurriedly raised his sword to protect his chest. The bandit raised his scimitar violently and slashed at Chang Long three times, the first two were blocked by Chang Long's sword, and the third knife Chang Long finally failed to block, and a wound was cut on his chest.
The bandit turned around and shouted to the accomplices behind him, "Let's go up together!" The bandits rushed up one after another, raising their blades and striking at Chang Long.
Zhao Xiaocao flew up and jumped to Chang Long's side, and slapped his palm on the top of the head of the bandit in the lead. The thief raised his sword to block it. Zhao Xiaocao's palm power changed rapidly, his wrist bypassed the blade, hooked the thief's wrist, and grabbed the thief's arm with his five fingers. The thief's right arm was sore, and he couldn't hold the scimitar in his hand, and his fingers were weak, and the scimitar fell from the top of his head, almost splitting his head in two. Zhao Xiaocao made this move exactly the "Praying Mantis Enemy Fighting Technique" taught by Wang Xue, and did not want to make the general up for the first time, so he knocked out the bandit blade, and his heart was overjoyed, and his left palm followed in the lower abdomen of the bandit, knocking the thief back, and his right hand followed and handed it out, picking up the scimitar that fell on the ground.
Hu Xiaochen had already run to Zhao Xiaocao's right side, his toes embedded in the dirt on the ground, and swept forward, and the dirt splashed on the faces of the rushing bandits, blocking the way of the bandits.
Chang Long's chest was stained with blood, his heart was angry, he endured the bleeding in his chest, and scolded loudly: "Stupid dogs in and out, as the saying goes, gentlemen are frank, villains are relatives, you play such a despicable means, it is difficult to practice for another hundred years to become a martial arts master, I don't believe you......" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xiaocao grabbed him by the collar, turned around and fled to the mountain, and said: "What nonsense, go quickly!" Hu Xiaochen After the palace, he protected Zhao Xiaocao and Chang Long to escape.
Several thieves walked to both sides of Chang Long's horse and robbed the horse and the horse of their money.
The bandit at the head thought to himself: "You three hairy children almost seriously injured me, if you don't cut off your head tonight, my Black Spirit Gang will lose face, and the gang leader is afraid that he will be blamed." He immediately ordered his two men to watch the horses be soft and soft, and he himself led the rest of the thieves up the mountain.
Zhao Xiaocao saw that the thieves were chasing after him, and thought that the matter was urgent at the moment, so he had to ask Master Wang Xue to save him, and while running away with Chang Long, he shouted loudly: "Master save me, Master Wang Xue, come and save my life!" At this moment, a person suddenly turned out of the path under the mountain on the other side, and under the moonlight, he saw a man in a rough robe who was in his forties, strong and strong, and had a fierce face. Zhao Xiaocao, Hu Xiaochen, and Chang Long didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, but seeing that this person's face was full of fierceness, they didn't expect that they were not good, so they didn't dare to run forward again. At this time, the bandits surrounded one after another, grabbed their blades and attacked the three of them. Although Chang Long is a pampered young master, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his temperament is also tough, and he said proudly: "The ancients rejected the enemy with great righteousness, and would rather die than yield, but they burned themselves in the flames, and I will follow the example of the ancients tonight, and I will rest until I die!" waved the green sword in his hand and fought with the two sword-wielding thieves in front of him. Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen also joined the battle group and fought with the bandits. But none of the three of them reached the top level in martial arts, and the fight with more than ten people on the other side was like a grasshopper shaking a tree, only a tea fight, Zhao Xiaocao's left arm was scratched, Hu Xiaochen fought empty-handed without a blade, and several wounds were scratched on both arms. The strange man at the foot of the mountain slowly approached and stood aside to watch the battle. I only heard the thief at the head say happily: "It's Lord Huang Qiangfeng who is here, and the little ones are ugly in front of the adults tonight!" Zhao Xiaocao heard Hu Xiaochen tell before, knowing that the thief came here tonight to wait for a martial arts master named Huang Qiangfeng, at this time, the thief called this strange man "Lord Huang", his heart sank, he glared at the strange man, and said in his heart: "You are Huang Qiangfeng." This person is indeed friend or foe. Hu Xiaochen and Changlong had also heard of Huang Qiangfeng's name on weekdays, and Qi glanced at that person.
The strange man with a fierce face was Huang Qiangfeng, and said with a smile: "As soon as I received the letter, I hurried over, but it was still a long time late, and I was so tired that the heroes waited here overnight, and I really didn't want to go." Huang Qiangfeng is a big man with a strong body and knotted muscles, but when he speaks, his voice is hoarse, and his voice is close to that of a girl or a child, as if he has a fish bone stuck in his throat before speaking, and everyone can't help but be stunned when they hear it.
Suddenly, a woman's voice not far away said loudly: "Make the 'Mantis Enemy Fighting Technique'!" Zhao Xiaocao heard someone talking behind her, but her life was instantaneous, and she only cared about roaring and fighting at the moment, and she didn't pay attention to the woman's words. The woman who spoke was Wang Xue, Wang Xueshi chopped firewood on the other side of the hillside, and pulled a lot of trees and vines to make covers, but after waiting for half an hour, she never saw Zhao Xiaocao come back, she couldn't rest assured, so she looked nearby, until she heard the sound of blades intersecting on the hillside, so she came to check. Wang Xue saw that Zhao Xiaocao didn't pay attention to what he was saying, and shouted: "Xiaocao, you listen to me, make the mantis resist the enemy!" Zhao Xiaocao repelled a thief with his left palm, and put the scimitar in front of him with his right hand, blocking the blades attacked by the two bandits, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Wang Xue, and gently shook the wrist holding the knife, which means that the praying mantis anti-enemy technique is a move to fight empty-handed, and at this time, he has a blade in his hand, and he can't use the mantis anti-enemy technique. Wang Xue said: "It's okay, it's okay, you use the scimitar as the palm of your hand, how to make a move." ”
Zhao Xiaocao responded: "Yes!" used the praying mantis to resist the enemy, took the sharp knife in the hand of a thief with his left palm, and threw it at another thief next to him, and the sharp knife cut off half of the straw hat on the thief's head, only to scare the thief trembling. The other two thieves danced steel knives together and hit Zhao Xiaocao. Zhao Xiaocao's right hand hurriedly took out the internal strength of the mantis enemy-resisting technique, and the scimitar slashed towards the two steel knives. The two thieves only felt a shock to their wrists, and the steel knives were thrown out of their hands and thrown far down the mountain. Zhao Xiaocao was overjoyed, and turned around and shouted, "Master Wang Xue, this praying mantis anti-enemy technique really works. Wang Xue said angrily: "You concentrate a little, and come and talk to me again after you have repelled the strong enemy." Zhao Xiaocao stuck out her tongue, didn't dare to say more, turned her head and concentrated on the enemy.
Zhao Xiaocao woke up Wang Xue, and he was able to fight to a draw with the three or five bandits beside him, and even faintly gained the upper hand. Hu Xiaochen and Chang Long were gradually defeated, especially Chang Long's chest was cut by the bandits, he lost a lot of blood, he was already a little exhausted, and even felt difficult to stand on his legs, so he retreated to a big tree at the moment, leaned on the tree with his back, let the trunk support his body, and the green sword in his hand still stabbed back and forth at the two bandits in front of him.
Wang Xuerou shouted: "Don't be afraid, little child, Auntie is here to help you!" A thief was swinging a knife at Chang Long, seeing that Wang Xue was more than ten feet away, and in the blink of an eye, he had been deceived in front of him, and he was surprised, ignoring Chang Long again, and hurriedly slashed at Wang Xue's left rib. Wang Xue twisted his waist, avoided the blade, and lightly touched the back of the thief's hand with his left index finger and middle finger. The bandit immediately felt a sore wrist, and the long knife in his hand fell. The second thief then raised his knife and slashed at Wang Xue. Wang Xue smiled: "It's a good time." Dodge to the side. The thief hurriedly turned around, raised his sword and slashed again. Wang Xue raised her right arm and knocked the back of the knife again. The bandit only felt that this steel knife weighing more than ten catties that he was used to on weekdays suddenly became a thousand catties, and he could no longer hold one arm, so he had to throw away the scimitar.
Wang Xue made a move casually, and knocked out the blades of the two people, and all the thieves were shocked when they saw Wang Xue's skills, and they didn't dare to attack again for a while. Wang Xue grabbed Chang Long's collar with her left hand, grabbed Hu Xiaochen's arm with her right hand, and jumped back to Zhao Xiaocao's side. Zhao Xiaocao said proudly: "How is it, my master's martial arts are not bad?" She said this not only to the bandits, but also to show off in front of people and to Hu Xiaochen and Chang Long. Hu Xiaochen and Chang Long bowed to Wang Xue together and thanked Wang Xue for saving his life. Wang Xue smiled and said: "Two good children saved my family's Xiaocao's life, I should thank you." ”
The bandit at the head stepped forward and said, "Is this girl the heroine Wang Xue who is rumored in the rivers and lakes?" Wang Xue said: "Don't dare, it's down there." The head of the thief said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Miss Wang Xue has always been jealous and hateful, and acts chivalrous and righteous, but the reputation of the Black Spirit Gang must have been heard of by the heroine?" The implication is that the Black Spirit Gang is a famous gang, not an ordinary bandit and robber can be compared, others are afraid of the heroine Wang Xue, but the Black Spirit Gang is not afraid. Wang Xue smiled slightly, and said: "In my Wang Xue's eyes, it doesn't matter what kind of Black Spirit Gang or White Spirit Gang you are, I only want to ask you, do you plan to do this hurtful business from now on, or do you want to wash your hands in a golden basin?" The bandit at the head was very embarrassed, and thought in his heart: "With Wang Xue, a ghost woman here, it will be difficult to bargain tonight, but the dignified Black Spirit Gang was softened by a woman's words, how can they gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future?"
