On this day, Wang Xue said goodbye to Liu Yue, Hu Jing, Qiu Haibo and others, and then went south, and came to Qili City in less than a day. Qili City is built by the mountain, it is the only way for the people to move from the south to the north, a large number of green forest high-rollers come here every year, although the mountain city is remote, but it is very prosperous.

Wang Xue had been here when she wandered with her mother, both mother and daughter were martial arts lovers, and every time they went, they had to visit the nearby martial arts halls and famous martial arts predecessors, Wang Xue knew that there were three martial arts halls in Qili City, and each owner's kung fu was unique, and his skills should not be underestimated. Wang Xue was young and playful at that time, and successively issued a war letter to these three martial arts halls, and it was taboo to ask for a challenge book or kick the gym at the door, but first, she was just young and competitive, and there was no malice, and secondly, the three hall owners saw that she was just a young girl, and they didn't take her seriously.

At that time, it was over the wax moon, the ice and snow covered the mountains, the merchants who went south and north had already left the city and returned to their hometowns, and it was snowing lightly in Qili City, and there were few pedestrians on the streets. Wang Xue thought that the last time she came to this city was in the middle of summer, it was three and a half years ago, when the streets were full of people, and now when she returned in the middle of winter, she saw that the town was depressed, and her heart was mixed.

Suddenly, there was a shouting and running sound on the street, and three black-faced men in big jackets shouted and chased after a teenage girl wearing a fur coat. The girl hurriedly approached, saw Wang Xue standing in the middle of the road in a daze, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!" and hurriedly jumped to Wang Xue's right. Wang Xue saw that the girl was running wildly towards her, and when she saw that she was about to collide, she also jumped to the right, but the two of them both avoided to the right, and happened to bump into each other, with frost under their feet, slippery and uncertain, and the two fell together.

The three men who were chasing the girl had already taken advantage of this moment to rush up, and one of them lifted the girl up, slapped her in the face, and scolded, "Stinky girl, you run away again!" The girl's little face was full of anger, and she knew that she was not lucky, so she turned her face to the side, neither running nor crying. Another man kicked the girl down and shouted, "You run as fast as you can, and we are tired of chasing us into the city." "That girl is really tough, she is so young, she doesn't snort when she is beaten.

Wang Xue got up and patted off the thin snow on her clothes, and when she saw three big men bullying a weak girl like this, her heart was about to have a seizure, and she suddenly thought that a few months ago, because of her own impulsiveness, she didn't distinguish between good and bad, and rescued the wicked Shanhei under the hands of Li Dashi, Zhang Jia, and Song Fengyan, and thought: "I'm not busy at this time, let's see it clearly." ”

I saw the three black-faced men pressing the girl to the ground and punching and kicking them, and none of the four said a word. Wang Xue couldn't bear it anymore, took a step forward, grabbed a black-faced man, and said: "She is a little girl, what kind of hatred do you have with you, you want to torture her like this?" The man was stunned, shook off Wang Xue's arm, and shouted: "If it weren't for the fact that you were able to help me catch this girl, I would have beaten you to death together! You get away!" Wang Xue was furious when she heard this, she was young and crazy and obsessed with martial arts, and she wanted to provoke something to do when she had nothing to do on weekdays, but now that someone took the initiative to provoke, she would not stand idly by, thinking: "And it doesn't matter who of you is right or wrong, I will convince you. With a scolding, his left palm swung out, hitting the man in the chest. The man's chest hurt, and he couldn't help but snort softly, only to feel a strong force coming towards him, and he couldn't help but retreat three feet away. Wang Xue's palm is a change of the "cotton palm" in the Haba technique, the palm power is soft and soft, and the strength is just right, which not only knocks the opponent back, but also keeps the opponent from being injured, in case this matter is just a misunderstanding, it is also good to leave room for stepping down in the future.

The man was pushed away by Wang Xue's palm, knowing that Wang Xue's skills were not weak, and those who had this skill in Qili City were only afraid of a few people, and they didn't dare to act rashly at the moment. The remaining two didn't care about bullying the fallen girl anymore, turned to stand beside their companions, and one of them shouted, "Which martial arts hall girl are you, you have the courage to harm our business." Wang Xue replied: "I'm not a martial arts gym." The man thought to himself, "If you have this skill, how can you not have a martial arts hall?" He also said: "Since you have the courage to hinder my business, why don't you dare to report the name of your martial arts hall, is it because you are afraid that my master will personally go out and overturn your martial arts hall?" Wang Xue said awe-inspiringly: "I do know that there are three martial arts halls in this seven-mile city, but I am here alone today, and I really do not belong to any martial arts hall." You three big men bullying a girl like this, I don't like it, so I stopped it, if your master has something to say, ask him to come to me. I thought that the three of you were so uneducated, and your master was afraid that he was not a good person, but he heard the man reprimand: "Bah, what kind of identity does my master have, how can he go to Qili City for you? You look down on yourself too much." Wang Xue was stunned and thought: "It was you who said that your master personally went out to provoke me, and I didn't say it." ”

The girl who was knocked down by the three of them had already gritted her teeth and stood up at this time, stood in front of Wang Xue, and said proudly: "I was caught by you, count me unlucky, you come to me if you have something, don't embarrass my family." Stretched out his hand to Wang Xue, and said to the three people: "I really don't know this sister, don't be embarrassed for her." Wang Xue saw that this girl was so backbone at such a young age, and she admired her greatly, thinking that when she was so old, she would only hide behind her mother and cry when she was really in trouble, and said in her heart: "Good girl, you are better than me, so I will help you get out of trouble today." Suddenly, he saw a bare low tree standing a few feet behind the girl, and thought, "If you don't show your successful husband today, this matter will be difficult to solve." He turned around and walked under the tree, stroked the trunk gently, and suddenly turned around and took a step, and hit the trunk hard with a reflexive punch. With this move, Wang Xue used all his strength, and the trunk of the tree shook, and the withered yellow leaves on the treetops fell one after another. Wang Xue turned around and walked back, wiped her hands on her sleeves, and said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Even if you bully this child, if you punch her, I will return it to you with three punches." ”

The three of them knew that Wang Xue had exquisite martial arts, but after all, they didn't believe that she was a little girl who could really compete with the three men on her side. The three of them looked at each other and turned away.

When the girl saw the enemy retreating, she was very happy, and she waved at Wang Xue and said with a smile: "Sister Wang Xue, thank you for saving me today, if it weren't for your action, they would never let me go, and I am afraid that my little life will not survive tomorrow." Wang Xue was surprised when she called out her name, and asked, "You, do you know me?" The girl said: "I am Yaoyao, when I was young, you came to live in my house for a few days, and Aunt Wang also taught me a little boxing." Saying that, he stood up in the Wang family boxing style, struck a few punches forward, and said: "I just looked at you and felt a little familiar, but I didn't dare to recognize each other, and then I saw you punch the tree, I knew that it was you, this move turned around and sent out the boxing skills, Aunt Wang showed me once." She was in a mood, laughing as she spoke.

Wang Xue and her mother have been wandering for nearly ten years, and they have borrowed and lived in many people's homes, and they don't take this kind of thing to heart, but Yaoyao, this girl, she has not forgotten, she only remembers that this girl lives with her grandfather, and there is a persimmon tree in the front yard. At this time, Yaoyao is no longer the babbling toddler she was in the past, if she hadn't reported her name, Wang Xue would really not have recognized her. Wang Xuexi said: "Yaoyao, is your grandfather okay?" Yaoyao smiled: "My grandfather is very good, and he eats a few catties of fresh persimmons every winter." Let's go, I'll take you to see my grandfather. He took Wang Xue's hand and walked towards the city.

The two walked through an alley and walked into the courtyard, Yaoyao shouted, "Grandpa, grandpa come out quickly, Sister Wang Xue is back." A gray-haired, obese old man walked out slowly, saw Wang Xue, laughed, and said, "Child, you're back!" This old man is Yaoyao's grandfather, Wang Xue only knows his surname Lei, and he used to only call him Grandpa Lei, whose name seems to be Lei Gu, and smiled at the moment: "Grandpa Lei, I'm back." ”

Lei Gu and his granddaughter Yaoyao are dependent on each other, an old and a young are also lonely on weekdays, at this time they saw Wang Xue come back, the two were overjoyed, but Wang Xue came suddenly, there was no good banquet at home, Lei was busy Yaoyao went to make a plate of persimmons and invited Wang Xue to eat. That night, the three of them sat in the courtyard and chatted, at this time the wind and snow had stopped, and the snow in the courtyard was very deep. Yaoyao took Wang Xue's hand and kept asking her about her life in the past three years, and Wang Xue told the truth one by one. Lei's ancestors and grandsons heard that Wang Xue had not only practiced Haba in recent years, but also found her brother who had been missing for nearly ten years, and they all made her happy, and when they heard that her mother had lived in seclusion and her brother was buried in the fire, they couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Wang Xue asked about the three black-faced men during the day, Yaoyao shouted: "They are a group of demons who eat people and don't put salt, when I grow up and have good martial arts, I will definitely beat them with their heads and rats." Lei Gu exclaimed: "What, you went up the mountain to provoke those demons? Oh, my little aunt, if they don't come to bully us, you should be grateful, how dare you take the initiative to provoke them." Thanks to you, Sister Wang Xue, happened to pass by today, otherwise I wouldn't know where you died!" Yaoyao pursed her mouth and shouted in a low voice: "If it weren't for Sister Wang Xue who happened to collide with me today, they might not be able to catch up with me." Even so, if you provoke them repeatedly, sooner or later they will have to go down the mountain to take revenge, and then the whole city will suffer, and you will be the culprit! Hmph, you will not be allowed to go out again next time. ”

Wang Xue thought to herself: "It turns out that Grandpa Lei didn't know about Yaoyao's incident today, and it was really not the right time for me to ask." Hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "What about the other pavilion owners, are they okay?" I haven't seen him for more than three years, and I really can't wait to compete with him." "She knows that Lei is good at martial arts, and she was also a martial arts idiot when she was young, and she has a friendship with the owners of the three martial arts halls in the city. Lei Gu said: "The three martial arts halls in the city have now been gathered, and the deputy city lord will temporarily take over the position of hall master. Wang Xueqi said: "This is really rare, I remember that the kung fu of these three martial artists is mutually exclusive, and I can't imagine that they are willing to let the martial arts halls they have operated for many years gather with each other." Wang Xue remembered that the owners of the three martial arts halls in Qili City all said that their kung fu was famous and authentic, so they were at odds with each other, and they often fought. Lei Gu shouted, "It's not all the minions of the evil spirits. Yaoyao shouted loudly: "That's it, the three people who bullied me today are the subordinates of the evil spirit." They were so ruthless that my body still hurts. Lei Gu scolded: "I should let you hurt for a while, so that I can teach you this stupid girl to increase her memory!"

Wang Xue was surprised again, and asked: "What evil spirits, why do they bully you, Yaoyao?" Yaoyao shouted: "They are the subordinates of the evil spirits, not evil spirits!" They occupy the mountain as the king, and we are not allowed to go up the mountain, I can't be angry, I secretly went up the mountain to set a trap to catch hares, but they saw it, so they chased me into the city. Lei Gu said to Wang Xue: "Child, the local people of our Qili City eat mountains and water according to the mountains, you know. Last year, a group of bandits came up to the mountain, occupying the entire mountain, and we hunters were not allowed to go up the mountain to hunt, and from time to time they went down the mountain to rob everyone's food and money. In order to defend against the bandits on the mountain, the deputy city lord united the three martial arts halls. Wang Xue said: "Is the bandit leader this person called some kind of evil spirit? He also took it seriously, and even forced the three hall masters to cooperate with each other willingly. Lei Gu said: "The spirit evil is one of the five great guardian gang evil kings of the Wicked Gang, and his skills are not trivial, and the reputation of the Wicked Gang, I heard about it when I was young." ”

When Wang Xue heard the words "Gang of the Wicked", her heart was shocked, and she immediately recalled what Liu Yue had said before, inviting all the people to defeat the Gang of the Wicked, took out the four gold medals in her arms and looked at them, and thought: "It would be good if Senior Brother Liu was here, let him recall a few fellow brothers, and it would be interesting to teach this Gang of Wicked Men a lesson." "But I also know that the gang that even Liu Yue does not dare to despise must have something unique in martial arts.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the wall, and I saw a light behind the wall, slightly steaming, showing that there were many people with torches, surrounding the courtyard. Wang Xue was talking with Lei's grandfather and grandson about the bandits on the mountain, and suddenly saw people surrounded by people outside the wall, and first thought that the spirit evil had brought people to take revenge, and his heart was cold. Lei got up and said, "I'll go out and take a look, you don't have to be afraid." Wang Xue stopped in front of Lei and said, "Grandpa Lei, I'll open the door." But I heard a man's voice outside the door shouting loudly: "Old man Lei, open the door!" Wang Xue heard this person's loud and intimidating voice, knowing that this person's internal strength must not be weak, his heart sank, and he thought: "This person's martial arts are so strong, I don't know if I can beat him." ”

Lei Gu let out an "ah" and said to Wang Xue: "It's the deputy city lord who is here." Rushing to open the courtyard door in front of Wang Xue, I saw the deputy city lord with a few people, standing on the ground with a fierce momentum, and I couldn't help but be stunned, and then bowed down and said: "Lord Deputy City Lord, you are ......" He made a little gap back and asked the deputy city lord and others to enter the door. I only heard the deputy city lord shout: "Uncle Lei, I heard that there is a guest in your house today?" Hmph, we are old friends, you know the rules, this really makes me embarrassed." "But he didn't plan to enter the door. Lei Gu said: "She is just a little girl, she came here once in more than three years, and she knows Du and Dong. She came a little abruptly, I didn't report it to you, but it was mine. ”

Wang Xue heard Lei Su mention himself to the deputy city lord outside the door, and she was puzzled, and just thought: "What did I do wrong, and do you want Grandpa Lei to take me to apologize?" After all, she was young and not tactful enough, and she said it very strongly, and the implication was that she regarded everyone outside the door as a gang of bandits in the mountains.

The leader shouted unceremoniously: "Say, why did you come to my Qili City?" Wang Xue was stunned, and saw that this person was a man in his forties, and a striking scar on the left side of his face was very ugly, and he thought: "You are the deputy city lord." So he said, "I want to enter the city and come in, do you still have to pay the toll?" The deputy city lord said: "Outsiders have never been welcome in Qili City, so go from where you come from." Lei Gu hurriedly said: "This child is not a wicked person, she has lived with her mother for a few days in the past three years, and she has known several brothers in the martial arts hall. Don't look at her young age, but her martial arts are very good, Yaoyao was bullied by several of the evil subordinates today, and she rescued Yaoyao. ”

The deputy city lord looked at Wang Xue and said, "Isn't your kung fu amazing?" Wang Xue leaned slightly, avoiding this grab, and was about to turn around to stop, when the deputy city lord's right fist was already hitting him. Wang Xueyun started his family boxing skills, and his right fist was swung out to counteract him, only to hear the sound of "pop", and the two of them were both shaking.

Lei Gu hurriedly said: "Lord Deputy City Lord, how can you use force with children?" The Deputy City Lord did not answer, and said coldly to Wang Xue: "The little girl's kung fu is really powerful. Wang Xue said unceremoniously: "The kung fu of the big man is also amazing." The deputy city lord said to Lei Gu: "Qili City has never welcomed outsiders, now is the time of external and internal troubles, and the rules cannot be abolished, you let her come to the city tomorrow to find me, no matter what the result is, I can also be regarded as an explanation to the city lord and the people in the city." As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Xue again, and turned back with everyone.

Wang Xue quarreled with the deputy city lord for no reason, and was so unhappy in her heart, she followed Lei Gu back to the courtyard and asked, "Grandpa Lei, he wants me to look for him in the city tomorrow, why is this?" Yaoyao smiled: "The deputy city lord is asking you to compete." His kung fu is very high, sister, you have to be careful to deal with it. Lei reprimanded: "Don't talk too much at a young age!" Yaoyao pouted, not daring to say more. Wang Xue said: "Martial arts competition is martial arts, am I still afraid of him?" After thinking about it, he asked again: "The last time I came with my mother, the city was full of merchants who came from other places to do business, so it was not lively, Grandpa Lei, why did outsiders not allow outsiders to come in at this time in Qili City." Lei Gu said: "That's also something that can't be helped." The gang of bandits on the mountain is about to go down the mountain to rob at any time, and the people of Qili City will inevitably mix in with a bandit villain who inquires about the situation in the city, so the city lord issued an order last year that all outsiders will be cleared, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the city. Although this method is rude and harmful to Qili City, it is a helpless thing, otherwise the bandits on the mountain will enter the city with the passing merchants, and it will be suffered. He coughed lightly twice, and said, "Although the deputy city lord is anxious, he is not an unreasonable person. He asked you to compete tomorrow, but he just gave an account of the city lord's orders. If he wins against you, he will say that you are too bad at doing the tricks and that you will not be a bandit, and if he loses, he will say that he will beat you but you will have to stay. No matter what happens tomorrow, you can stay. Of course, if you are really a bandit in the mountains, he will be the real enemy of you, and he will have to fight to the death. ”

Wang Xuexin said: "Is there a good place for you to go in Qili City, who is rare to stay? Now that bandits are rampant, your dignified deputy city lord still has the heart to make an appointment with me, an irrelevant person, and your heart is really big." But if he left the city at this time, it would be a shameful run without a fight, and he might be said to be a bandit and a traitor, seeing Yaoyao looking at himself with a smile, it was obvious that he was very fascinated by his martial arts, and his chest was hot, and he said: "Grandpa Lei, you don't have to worry about me, I will go to compete with him tomorrow." Not only will I win him, but I will also help you drive out the evil bandits!"
