Chapter 8 Comminuted fractures
Hou Bo walked into the counter, picked up the account book, seemed to remember something, and put it back. His hand touched his beard of less than an inch and looked Mu Xiao up and down: "Mu Xiao, is it the first time you come to Tianyuan?"
Mu Xiao took a sip of hot water, and his mouth was hot: "Yes!"
"Do you want to go out for a walk?" I'll tell the guy to take you!" said Houbo as he stretched out his head and whispered.
Mu Xiao didn't think much about it, when he first came to Tianyuan, it was not bad to have someone to take him around, so there was no reason to refuse.
Uncle Hou shouted at the guy who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Liu San, take Mu Xiao out for a walk, and by the way, go to Wanjia Commercial Bank in the west of the city to bring some goods back." β
"Yes, Houbo. Liu San was excited and excited, presumably he had worked hard for a long time. As soon as he said go, Liu San neatly threw his apron aside and beckoned Mu Xiao to go out together.
Looking at the backs of the two, Uncle Hou smiled evilly, naΓ―ve like a child, and he didn't know what An's heart was!
Liu San, who is two years younger than Mu Xiao, lives in a small town south of Tianyuan, and ranks third among the children in the family, and his father's name is also interesting, and the three children directly take Liu Da, Liu Er, and Liu San, the reason is that children from poor families, no matter how good the name is, it is useless, it is easy to read and remember.
Liu San chattered all the way, and Mu Xiao followed closely. At this time, the two were heading in the direction of Wanjia Commercial Bank in the south of the city. It's been a long time, and I don't know how long it will take, Mu Xiao really can't help it: "Liu San, how far is Wanjia Commercial Bank, how do I feel that we have been gone for more than an hour!"
Liu San turned around and smiled stupidly: "It's almost here, I come by carriage on weekdays, and it's the first time I've walked so far." β
"Why don't you take a carriage ride today?"
"Didn't Uncle Hou say to take you out for a walk, so there is no need for a carriage!" Liu San smiled innocently. When Mu Xiao heard this, he was quite speechless, he didn't even need a carriage for such a long way, and said that he was going out for a walk. But looking at the current situation, it should be dark after a round trip, right?
"Then what should we bring to Wanjia Commercial Bank?" Mu Xiao leaned forward.
"Wine"
"What??" Mu Xiao's face was full of black lines, there were many commercial houses in the streets and alleys all the way, why did he have to go so far to buy wine, it was really annoying: "Aren't there many commercial houses selling wine along the way? Why do we have to go so far? Isn't it true that in addition to the wine of ten thousand commercial houses, the wine in other shops is not fragrant?"
"Not to mention, the wine there is better than that in the north of our city. Tianyuan wine looks at the west of the city, eats, drinks and has fun in the south of the city, and there is nothing particularly famous in the north and east of the city!" Liu Sancai didn't care about Mu Xiao's expression, and talked about this Tianyuan City endlessly.
But just as Mu Xiao was about to speak, his shoulder was touched. Looking back, a young man with a crooked look and a thief's eyebrows and a rat face grinned at him: "Dude, outsiders?
"Yes, who are you" was suddenly asked by a stranger, although it felt strange, but he also answered truthfully, but the next second he had a premonition that the situation was not good.
Sure enough, the young man quickly grabbed the white jade pendant on his chest and pulled it hard. Mu Xiao's neck hurt, and he instinctively kicked forward, and the young man screamed miserably, and fell backwards on all fours towards the sky.
"What's wrong?" Liu San, who had already walked a few feet away, heard the voice and turned back.
"It's okay! there's a thief!" Mu Xiao didn't want to cause trouble, so he straightened his clothes and stuffed the pendant into the inner layer. Unhurriedly put his arm on Liu San's shoulder: "Let's go!"
However, the young man's voice sounded behind him again: "Want to go, no way!" As he spoke, he quickly attacked Mu Xiao, and a domineering punch slammed in, Mu Xiao pushed Liu San to the side, and the other hand Huo Ran raised and collided with the young man's fist.
The two did not stop, the young man attacked frantically like crazy, Mu Xiao was fearless, and every block and blow had a method. The boy jumped in the air and kicked at Mu Xiao, splashing slush. When the kick was approaching, Mu Xiao accurately grabbed the young man's heel with his left hand, and his right hand was sharp under his calf, and it snapped...... The sound of broken bones was accompanied by the miserable howl of the boy.
"My legs, my legs! I'm going to kill you!" snot and tears wrapped between the boy's face.
There are more and more onlookers, most of whom are pointing fingers at the teenager.
Mu Xiao was also a little stunned, but only suddenly. Anyway, the boy is at fault first, and he is nothing more than a little heavier.
Liu San on the side was different, this scene shocked him, not that he hadn't seen the scene, but the background of Mu Xiao's beating was not simple.
"Mu Xiao, you're in trouble. Liu San said in a low voice, his face was also terrified: "He is a gangster in Nancheng, Ling Gaoyuan, he is the nephew of the Nangong family!"
The Nangong family has also heard Ah Sang mention it, but the people have already fought, so the soldiers will come to cover the water.
The onlookers seemed to be looking at Mu Xiao, this young man who had never seen him before.
"Probably new here".
"It should be a newcomer, otherwise how could you be targeted by Ling Gaoyuan?"
"It's definitely new, otherwise it wouldn't have caused such a big problem!"
Everyone said their own words, Mu Xiao raised his voice and pointed at Ling Gaoyuan, who was still holding his calves and crying: "Everyone, passing by here today, he blocked the road and robbed me, and he also tried to put me to death, I was helpless to defend myself." β
"If you fart, you will give an explanation for hurting my brother!" A voice sounded in the crowd, and then everyone got out of the way, and two teenagers of the same age as Ling Gaoyuan appeared from the crowd with their toes proud.
One was wearing a black robe, short hair, a long sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes were extremely sharp, and the other was dressed ordinarily, which should be his entourage, and a pair of big earrings pulled his ears, which was uncomfortable to look at.
"Nangong Qiqi! This is a big trouble. β
"I think it's going to kill people today!"
"......" people who watch the excitement don't think it's a big deal, fanning the flames on the side, anyway, it's not themselves who suffer.
"Cousin, save me, my legs" Ling Gaoyuan saw the two of them coming, like grasping at a life-saving straw.
Nangong Qiqi squinted his eyes slightly, signaled to his entourage, and the entourage nodded slightly, walked over and dragged Ling Gaoyuan, who was covered in slush, to the side of the road, and howled like killing pigs.
"Suffer death!" Nangong Qiqi's long sword came out of its sheath, a faint blue halo lingered on the sword body, and the momentum of the whole person completely became more powerful, this is the aura. The onlookers retreated one after another, only to see Nangong Qi tiptoe to the ground, as light as a swallow, and suddenly killed Mu Xiao. The power emanating from the blade of the sword made Mu Xiao's long hair suddenly float up, and his heels pierced the ground and his body slanted back, narrowly avoiding the sword.
Before the battle was over, Nangong Qi Qi turned his sword and turned around, and it was directly at Mu Xiao's throat, and the move was fatal, Mu Xiao was furious, and his legs kicked hard and retreated a few steps away. The Taicang Sutra in today's dream flashed in his mind, and he didn't carry a sword when he went out today, and the only thing that could save him at this time might be the Taicang Sutra. He was not allowed to think about it for a long time, his body was like a fish, his limbs were all moving, and at this moment, every move of the Taicang Sutra clearly appeared in his mind.
"It's over, this guy is defenseless, and he will definitely die!"
"There is almost no suspense, the prince of Qi Qi is too powerful, and sure enough, the Chengnan family is different"
"We're not bad in the west of the city, okay!"
...... The onlookers were talking again, and Liu San in the crowd was even more afraid to look at it.
The sword in Nangong Qiqi's hand was more radiant at this time, and the sword blade was the center of the screen, aiming at Mu Xiao and stabbing straight at him. The whole body martial arts Mu Xiao's golden light emerged, and the aura of the old Gu Su swept in, colliding with Nangong Qiqi's sword qi, after all, it was still too rusty.
"Bang"! The two forces collided together, and a loud sound erupted. Mu Xiao was shocked back by the strong force, and fell to the ground, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Nangong Qiqi was only a few steps back, but he was also shocked: "Yes, you can actually block my blue wave blow!" He swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth angrily: "Next, it depends on whether you can block my Canghai Anger, if you can force me to use Canghai Anger, you can be regarded as dead without regrets!"
Although I don't know what Canghai's anger is, but it was already quite difficult to catch Bilang's blow just now, presumably Canghai's anger is even better! Could it be that I, Mu Xiao, am going to die here? Mu Xiao stood up and pretended to be relaxed, but in fact it was quite uncomfortable.
"Die!" Nangong Qi shouted violently At the same time, his whole person was shrouded in a blue halo, and the sword shadow flew in the blue light. Just as he was about to walk towards Mu Xiao, an afterimage suddenly flashed over the heads of the crowd, picked up Mu Xiao, and disappeared in place.
The target disappeared suddenly, and Nangong Qiqi was also slightly stunned. Then there was a loud laugh in the distance: "Nangong Xiao'er, are you no one in the west of the city? Go back to the south of your city and stay well, if you dare to make trouble in the west of the city, I will not spare you!" Mu Xiao also disappeared with that afterimage.
The onlookers also took a stand, leaving only Nangong Qiqi and the three of them in place, poor Ling Gaoyuan, whose right leg was crushed and fractured, even if it was cured, he could only be a lame.
"Tell you not to cause trouble everywhere, and go back and see how your aunt cleans you up. Nangong Qiqi said while fixing Ling Gaoyuan's calf with something.
"Won't I be lame, cousin!" Ling Gaoyuan regretted in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
Nangong Qiqi didn't speak, and his entourage grinned on the side: "Crushing, most of them are going to be lame!"
"Get out, don't say it!" Nangong Qiqi glared at him angrily.
In today's battle, there was no one who touched Liu San the most, he couldn't believe that Mu Xiao seemed to be an ordinary guy, but he was so powerful. Nangong Qiqi's martial arts and swordsmanship he had heard a little about, that is, he was invincible among his peers! Although Mu Xiao didn't win, he took his blue wave blow empty-handed, which was enough to amaze people!
Mu Xiao was rescued, and he had no other way, so he had better go to Wanjia Commercial Bank first, and return to the inn to find Uncle Hou to make an idea!
The Wanjia Commercial Bank in the west of the city is the second largest trading place in Tianyuan City, with many trading varieties, and even murderous sales are within its business scope. Although it is winter, the flow of people is still endless.
In the depths of Wanjia Commercial Bank, in the center of the grand hall, a middle-aged man in animal skin was pacing back and forth, as if waiting for something.
But in the middle of the ring, a thin old man appeared behind him and announced: "Big boss, the matter has been done!"
After hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, let's go down!"
