It was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and although the weather was not as hot as a few days ago, it was still full of excitement when it was midday, the sun was shining high, and the insects were flying around. Li Hao and the others lowered their heads and walked back slowly, their thin clothes soaked with sweat. Wu Tian walked at the end, pouted and said: "After walking so many miles of mountain roads, it is really not worth it to exchange for a prescription and catch up with our can of good ointment." Bu Ziyi's mouth was already hot, and she didn't want to entangle with him more, so she just said lightly: "It's worth it." ”

It was so hot that there was not even a hint of wind, and the scorching sun was so hot that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. Li Hao stopped under a big willow tree and said, "Let's sit down and rest." Zhang Guanhua sat down at the root of the tree and said hatefully: "That Liu Junma is really a scoundrel, fortunately, we have martial arts, if we are replaced by ordinary people, we can only consider ourselves unlucky if we are blackmailed by him." Bu Ziyi said: "Ordinary people rarely ask him to do things." But I really didn't expect that I had known him for almost a year, and he even blackmailed me. Li Hao said: "Fortunately, we got the prescription, at least we didn't go back empty-handed this time." Wu Tiandao said: "That witch doctor's kung fu is so bad, and he dares to cheat and deceive everywhere, I really don't know how he survived in the past few years." ”

A voice said, "Because I secretly protect him!" Wu Tian was taken aback, and followed the sound to see a man wearing a black cloak and carrying a long iron rod on his shoulders standing a few feet away. When everyone sat down to rest, they didn't see anyone, but after only saying two words, this person had already rushed to the front, and it was silent, and the height of light power was only slightly inferior to the strength of the king. When Wang Xue and the others saw it, they were all amazed in their hearts.

The man took off the hat from his cloak and said, "If you had listened to him honestly, I would not have embarrassed you too much for him to remember his old friendship." But you want to offend him, alas, alas. You kids are ignorant, and you make him angry, so don't even think about getting out of the way today. ”

Li Hao stood up and said lightly: "You say, who does the 'he' he refers to?" The four people next to him shouted in unison. Wang Xue, Zhang Guanhua, Bu Ziyi called "Liu Junma", but Wu Tian called "Song Dabei". Wang Xue squinted and glanced at Wu Tian. Wu Tian's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "I'm joking, it's Liu Junma, Liu Junma!"

Li Hao knew that the person who came must have been sent by Liu Junma to seek revenge, a scoundrel like him never refused to suffer a loss, and it was only a matter of time before he sent someone to seek revenge, but he didn't expect the opponent to come so soon. But seeing that this person was of medium stature, similar in age to Liu Junma, but in his early thirties, he was secretly surprised in his heart: It is not easy to practice so lightly at such an age. Then I thought that if I had studied hard every day, I would have such light skills in three or five years, and I would not be thirty years old at that time.

Zhang Guanhua took two steps forward and said, "Be reasonable, big brother, it was Liu Junma who provoked us first." The man said coldly: "My name is Lin Tikun, and the rivers and lakes call me the stick god." When someone asks in the future, you should know who broke your legs, so that it is easier to seek revenge. Zhang Guanhua shouted loudly: "Are you listening to me, I said that Liu Junma provoked us first, not to mention that we didn't hurt him!" I saw Lin Tikun's left shoulder move slightly, and the iron rod on his shoulder suddenly slashed down. Zhang Guanhua was startled and hurriedly rolled backwards. As soon as they got together, the iron rod had already won and stabbed him. Zhang Guanhua knew that if he retreated backwards, Lin Tikun's iron rod would also follow forward, and he would not stop if he didn't knock himself down, so he used a slight force on his toes and flashed to the right. Unexpectedly, although the iron rod was thick and heavy, it was very fast and fast when it was sent out by the stick god Lin Tikun. Before Zhang Guanhua could flash, the iron rod had already hit his back. Zhang Guanhua snorted, fell to the ground, and saw the iron rod slashing again, and hurriedly avoided it on the spot.

Li Hao and Wang Xue attacked Lin Tikun on the left and right. Lin Tikun clenched the iron rod and threw it over, only to see that the iron rod was like a slanting python in the air, crashing towards Wang Xue. Wang Xue saw that the iron rod was thick, and knew that the person who gave the stick was strong, so he didn't dare to reach out to take it, so he had to retreat back. The iron rod hit Wang Xue and missed, but the remaining strength was still not weakened, and he swung towards Li Hao, forcing Li Hao to retreat a few steps.

At the same time that Lin Tikun was attacking Li Hao, he had already seen Wu Tian in the afterglow of his eyes, and at this moment, he repelled Li Hao, and then waved the iron rod and hit Wu Tian. Wu Tian waved his hand and shouted: "Lin Tieba, wait a minute, I have something to say." Lin Tikun took back the iron rod and roared in a low voice: "My name is Lin Tikun, not Lin Tieba!" What do you want to say?" Wu Tiandao: "I just want to ask, Lin Tiekun, oh no, it's Lin Tikun, Master Lin, don't you feel hot wearing such a thick cloak?" When he saw Lin Tikun for the first time, he saw that his big black cloak had been turned red by the sun, and he only saw it from a distance and felt that the people under the cloak were bound to be unstoppable. Lin Tikun was actually already hot, but he didn't see the enemy when he ran, and he suddenly saw the opponent under the tree a few feet away, and he was in a hurry, so he forgot to remove the cloak on his body. At this time, Wu Tian reminded him, so he put down the iron rod and removed the cloak, and his body suddenly felt cool. Picking up the iron rod, he asked, "Is there any more problem?" Wu Tian smiled: "No!" Lin Tikun snorted, and swept towards Wu Tian with the iron rod. Wu Tian screamed loudly and hurriedly jumped onto the branch behind him. I only heard a "pop", and the iron rod hit the trunk of the tree, knocking a big tree with a shock.

Bu Ziyi saw that although Lin Tikun's blow was just a casual blow, the strength was calm and fierce, and there was no flaw in the moves, so he praised in a low voice at the moment: "Lin Tieba's name is well deserved!" Lin Tikun's face changed, and he scolded: "I've said it all, my name is Lin Tikun, not Lin Tieba!" As he spoke, he raised the iron rod and smashed it down at Bu Ziyi. He has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and at this time he has made a lot of reputation, and there are many words praising and slandering him in the rivers and lakes, and he has long been accustomed to it, even if he hears his opponent insulting him in person, he is not easy to get angry. It's just that at this time, there are a few young people who are talking about him for the first time, and they still don't forget to make some jokes about his name at a critical moment, saying that "Lin Tikun" is "Lin Tieba", which obviously means humiliation, not to mention that there is also his most proud iron rod among the jokes he said, how can he not be angry in his heart?

Bu Ziyi saw the iron rod smashing, and hurriedly avoided to the left, and without waiting for the iron rod to land, he grabbed a step forward and took his wrist numb. Lin Tikun took a step back, his wrist retracted and extended, and the iron rod struck Bu Ziyi again. Bu Ziyi hurriedly avoided backwards.

Lin Tikun's wrist shook slightly, and he wanted to withdraw the iron rod, but suddenly felt that the iron rod was tight, and the other end had been firmly grasped by Zhang Guanhua. Zhang Guanhua was hit by an iron rod, and he was furious, so he wanted to take the iron rod down to avenge this. Lin Tikun's conceit and strength were amazing, and he was not afraid of the enemy, and his wrist suddenly pulled back to pull the iron rod back. How do you know that Zhang Guanhua's strength is not weak, this pull has been used with all his strength, and the iron rod is only slightly sent inward, and it has not left Zhang Guanhua's palm. Lin Tikun didn't expect his opponent to have this skill, and he was slightly surprised. Zhang Guanhua took advantage of his surprise and took a big step forward, raised his leg and kicked at the tibia of his leg, and his wrist was forced back at the same time, shouting: "Let go!"

Lin Tikun's arms shook back and forth, slamming the iron rod back and forth. After all, Zhang Guanhua is not good at using sticks, and he can't hold it with both hands and finally let go. Li Hao and Wu Tian took this opportunity to bully together, and the two of them hammered over with four punches in a row. Although Lin Tikun used the iron rod skillfully, but the iron rod is only a sharp weapon for attacking the enemy after all, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, it is better to hold the iron rod than to fight with bare hands, not to mention that the Haba technique practiced by Li Hao and Wu Tian is the most suitable for hand-to-hand combat.

Lin Tikun put the iron rod across his chest to defend himself, and retreated while fighting, but where could he defend himself? If he immediately put down the iron rod and resisted it empty-handed, Li Hao and Wu Tian would not be able to restrain him for a while, but he had really spent a lot of work on the iron rod here, how could he be easily defeated by a few children? At that moment, he danced the iron rod and kept dodging and retreating, and in an instant, he was hit by several punches.

Lin Tikun thought that he rarely encountered opponents on the rivers and lakes, and he didn't want to be beaten so badly by a few children today, so he was furious when he went down, and as soon as his move changed, he picked up the iron rod and slashed at the top of Li Hao's head. Wang Xue's body moved, stepped on Lin Tikun's right side, and reached forward with his left fist, and before he could swing the iron rod, he aimed at his jaw and hit him head-on. Lin Tikun was frightened and hurriedly resisted with a stick. Zhang Guanhua jumped into the air and raised his leg and kicked. No matter how high Lin Tikun's stick technique is, he can't block the Wang family's fist on the left and the Haba technique on the right, and secretly screams miserably, and hurriedly collects the stick and retreats. Hearing only a bang, Zhang Guanhua kicked on his iron bar, only to shake his hands painfully. Bu Ziyi stepped up, took advantage of the situation with a hook of his wrist, and finally snatched the iron rod from his hand.

Lin Tikun lost his iron rod, his heart was extremely embarrassed, and his face was even more blue and red, which was very ugly. The thought turned slightly, and he wanted to step forward to take back the iron rod, but the five people before meeting were not weak, and since the iron rod had been taken away, if he did it again, he would only bring humiliation on himself. snorted at the moment and said, "Today is your best, I Lin Tieba, oh no, I'm Lin Tikun, just admit defeat." But sooner or later, I will come back to you, and I will return the iron rod, and you will wait. As he spoke, he leaned over and picked up his cloak and turned to leave.

Although Wang Xue was not in a hurry when he heard his words, he said that "Lin Tikun" was "Lin Tieba" instead, knowing that he had no potential, he was actually extremely sad in his heart, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly. Zhang Guanhua thought to himself, since he had already snatched the iron rod in his hand, this contest could be regarded as our victory, and it was not interesting to teach him a lesson. So he withdrew his hands to the shade of the tree, and paid no more attention to him.

Li Hao's body moved slightly, stopped in front of Lin Tikun, and said loudly: "Wait, I have something to say." You know very well what kind of character Liu Junma is, you have a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, why should you be criticized by people like him!" Lin Tikun is indeed well-known in the rivers and lakes, but Li Hao and others don't know it, saying that his reputation is not small, but he just sees that his martial arts are not low, so he has polite words.

Lin Tikun's face was gloomy but he didn't answer, I don't know whether he was angry or angry. Li Hao knew that a martial arts master like him would not follow Liu Junma's side for no certain reason, and if he wanted him to leave Liu Junma, it would not be possible to do it with a few words of persuasion. At the moment, he didn't want to build more strong enemies, so he took the iron rod beside Bu Ziyi, waved his hand and threw it at him, saying: "The iron rod will be returned to you, except for a few of us, no one in the rivers and lakes will know about today's affairs." We didn't have a holiday before, so you don't need to come to us for revenge. Lin Tikun stretched out his hand to take the iron bar, his face softened slightly, bowed slightly to Li Hao, and walked towards the mountain road on the other side.

Li Hao saw that he didn't go back the way he came, and knew that he wouldn't go back to Liu Junma for a while, so he said, "Let's go back to the town and settle accounts with that Liu Junma!"

A few people endured the scorching heat and returned to the Fuyue Inn, only to see Liu Junma sitting cross-legged on a large bench in the hall, with a plate of durian in front of him, and he teased when he met people: "Have you ever eaten this?" "I know that you don't know, you poor bastard!" "This is what I bought for a lot of money, it smells stinky, and it smells delicious!" Occasionally, someone walked past him, frowning high.

Li Hao and the others walked up to Liu Junma and stood across the table from him. Liu Junma saw that the five of them were going and coming back, not only was he not injured, but his face was angry, his heart was tight, he knew that something was wrong, and he hurriedly looked up at the window. Bu Ziyi snorted and sneered: "Don't look at it, that Lin Tie Stick can't come back for a while." Wu Tiandao: "Even if he comes back at this time, we can still hold him." ”

Liu Junma was shocked and frightened, thinking that with Lin Tikun's skills, he should have broken their legs and came back to his life, why didn't he come back, Bu Ziyi came back instead, could it be that a few of their children really had such skills, and actually defeated that Lin Tikun? At this time, he was already so frightened that his hands were trembling, and he was afraid that Bu Ziyi would return a tooth for a tooth and break his legs, but fortunately, Bu Ziyi didn't seem to be injured. When he was suspicious, he asked in a trembling voice, "You ...... No injuries, right?"

Zhang Guanhua said with a smile: "If you are not injured, how can you be worthy of Master Lin's first reputation." "Remove your shirt and show him a long bruise on his back. The bruise was caused by Shi Cai's heavy blow with Lin Tikun's iron rod.

Liu Junma saw that Zhang Guanhua's injury was not serious, and he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then you also leave a bruise on my back, and this matter will pass so-so, so is it good? "I thought it would be better to be hit hard with a rolling pin than to have my legs broken. But seeing Zhang Guanhua's left palm slapping heavily on the table, he shouted, "It's not that easy!" Liu Junma was shocked and stood up from the bench in a panic. Bu Ziyi said with a calm face: "Return the ointment to me!" Liu Junma dared not to return it, and hurriedly took out the jar of safflower black medicine from the cloth bag and handed it to Bu Ziyi. Bu Ziyi whispered to Li Hao: "It's almost over, let's go!" Li Hao hummed, turned around and walked out of the inn, Zhang Guanhua and Wu Tian followed.

Wang Xue walked last, and as soon as she stepped out of the door with her front foot, she suddenly remembered something and walked back in front of Liu Junma. Liu Junma didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and smiled: "What's the matter, little girl?" Wang Xue picked up the plate of durian on the table with both hands, the corners of her mouth pursed, and said, "I want this too." Liu Junma didn't dare not give it, and saw Wang Xue walking out of the inn with durian in hand, but he didn't dare to stop it.

In the morning, Wang Xue finished eating the last remaining piece of durian, walked to the water tank in the courtyard, scooped a few mouthfuls of water to rinse her mouth, and then took the stone altar and pestle to the gate to pound the dried tangerine peel. Bu Ziyi went out to collect medicine with a bamboo basket on her back, walked to Wang Xue's side, smiled lightly, and said, "Have you finished eating the stinky fruit?" Wang Xue pursed her lips and smiled, and gently hit Bu Ziyi on the top of her head with a stone pestle. Bu Ziyi turned around, blocked the bamboo basket horizontally in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't do it! Different people have different physical conditions, and it's not unsightly to like to eat stinky fruits." Wang Xue picked up the stone pestle and gently tapped it on Bu Ziyi's chest, and said with a smile: "Next time, I have to force you to eat some durian, and let you laugh at me!" Bu Ziyi dodged away, and then gently returned a punch. Wang Xue dodged this punch and counterattacked lightly with the Wang family's fist method.

Just as the two girls were laughing and playing, the small wooden door in the backyard slammed open, and a figure flew in. Wang Xue and Bu Ziyi stopped their hands at the same time and hurriedly rushed to the backyard, only to see Zhang Guanhua standing in front of the two in a hurry, out of breath. It turned out that it was none other than Zhang Guanhua who entered the door. Wang Xue took the stone pestle and gently hammered Zhang Guanhua, and said, "Your movements are light, they all scare me." Bu Ziyi handed Zhang Guanhua a towel to wipe his sweat and said, "If you hadn't broken in suddenly, I would have been able to teach this little junior sister a hard lesson." Wang Xue laughed, and was about to continue arguing with Bu Ziyi, but heard Zhang Guanhua say: "Your personal grievance war is not in a hurry, let's go with me to fight a blocking battle in the afternoon." Bu Ziyi and Wang Xue were slightly startled and hurriedly asked the reason.

Zhang Guanhua said: "This morning, Li Hao and I took the herbs to the medical hall in the market to exchange some soft ones, but we met a school idiot on the way. He was about to come to us, but he didn't want to meet us halfway up the mountain. When Wang Xue heard him mention the idiot, she knew that her mother was in danger, and hurriedly asked: "What did the idiot say, how is my mother now?" Bu Ziyi reached out and gently hugged Wang Xue, signaling her not to worry. Zhang Guanhua said: "That scholar said that they want to send your mother to Shanyi Peak and hand it over to Boshan Yuan to test the poison! I think that Na Boshan is far from fully aware of the medicinal properties of this poison, so he needs a person with martial arts skills to conduct the test." Wang Xue was shocked, called Mom, and ran down the mountain. Zhang Guanhua has long legs, and he caught up with Wang Xue in a few steps and stopped in front of her. Wang Xue flashed behind Zhang Guanhua and continued to run, seeing that she was about to walk out of the front yard. Bu Ziyi jumped in front of Wang Xue and grabbed her arm. Wang Xue cried: "Let me save my mother, please, Bu Ziyi!" Bu Ziyi said: "You calm down, listen to Zhang Guanhua first." Wang Xue's eyes were red, and he shouted, "He said enough today!" Bu Ziyi said: "You believe us, we will definitely try our best to save your mother, we are your senior brothers and sisters!"

When Wang Xue heard the words "senior brother and sister", her heart sank. I thought: "Yes, they are my brothers and sisters, everything is with their help, everyone lives and dies together, I really don't need to panic." She has been wandering with her mother for many years, and has never made friends of the same age.

Seeing that she was no longer struggling, Bu Ziyi let go of her arm and let go. Zhang Guanhua said: "Li Hao and Wu Tian have been secretly guarding in front of the gate of Lihu Hall at this time. The three of us have discussed, since we can't fight Wang Liqiang, then let's start with the people of the Liangshan Gang......" A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xue's mouth, and said: "The three of you are discussing...... To save my mother?" When she said the word "I", her voice was very heavy, thinking that you were discussing the countermeasures to save my mother, but you excluded me, and it seemed that she really did not treat me as an outsider, and her heart could not help but be moved. Zhang Guanhua said: "The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to come back to discuss with you, don't be angry." Wang Xue smiled: "I'm not angry. ”

Bu Ziyi nodded and said: "This countermeasure you came up with is very good, wait for Wang Liqiang to send it to the Liangshan Gang, and then we will snatch people from the Liangshan Gang." This is much easier than snatching people directly from Wang Liqiang. Then he sighed: "It's a pity that Senior Brother Liu didn't return to the peak to collect medicine, otherwise we would have had his help, and the odds would have been in hand." "I really hope that Liu Yue is by my side.

Zhang Guanhua picked up a towel and wiped his face, and said, "It's not too early, let's go." ”
