When I rushed into the tea shop, Sha Tonghai was packing up the package in a panic. He took out the fruits of the years one by one from the wooden box, and all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry were wrapped in two square cloth wrappers and stuffed into bulging bags.

"Give me back the sword!" I roared.

Sha Tonghai was so frightened by me that he trembled, turned around and panicked for a while, and then laughed hehehe, and said, "I was so scared that Lao Tzu was shocked, it turned out that only one person came." I just heard from the third child that Kuocang sent a very powerful character to kill him, and I thought it was him!"

I didn't want to pay attention to his nonsense, so I repeated it to him, saying, "Give me back the sword." ”

Sha Tonghai unhurriedly took out the Jiulang Sword from his arms, and with a flick of it in his hand, the Jiulang Sword was brilliant. He said contemptuously, "The sword is in my hand, you have the ability to come and get it!"

I said, "Okay." With that, I walked quickly over to him. Sha Tonghai frowned, drew his sword out of its sheath, and waved it at me.

The Jiulang Sword was still shining with silver light, and it was so sharp no matter who it was in his hand.

It's just that the speed of the sea is too slow.

In my eyes, he was like a seven or eight-year-old kid holding up a twig and trying to whip me. As soon as I raised my hand and grabbed his wrist, the sword stopped at my side and never moved an inch.

Sha Tonghai had obviously discovered my strength, his face was full of horror, and he shouted, "Hero, spare your life!"

I added a little more force to my hand, and Sha Tonghai screamed "whoop", and the Jiulang sword came out of his hand, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

I flipped Sha Tonghai to the ground with a single palm, picked up the Jiurou sword, and said, "Give me back the scabbard." ”

Sha Tonghai trembled, quickly turned over and knelt on the ground, raised the scabbard above his head with both hands, and sent it to me. He said in a trembling voice, "Hero, I, I know that I am wrong, you, you have bypassed me." ”

Looking at the appearance of Sha Tonghai, I can't help but feel ridiculous.

Many people in this world always feel that the sky is not afraid of the earth when their minds are hot, but only when the consequences are presented in front of them, can they truly understand what it means to regret not in the first place.

Just like I used to be.

I said, "I'm not going to kill you, you can go." ”

Sha Tonghai looked at me in disbelief and asked softly, "Is this true?"

I said, "I'm not going to kill you, but I'm going to ask you a question, and you're going to answer me honestly." ”

Sha Tonghai hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Hero, please ask, the little one knows everything." ”

I said, "Is the Sven man you said before who is full of 'I rely on' called Li Xiaoqian?"

Sha Tonghai was stunned and said, "The little one doesn't know what his name is." But the man's words were strange and incomprehensible. ”

I said, "What did he say?"

Sha Tonghai said, "When the little one saw him pretending to be Sven, he was really uncomfortable to hear, so he picked him up and beat him. And he said, "I call it intentional harm."

What is he going to call the police? The little one still hasn't figured out who this zero is. ”

It's Li Xiaoqian, it's good!

I excitedly asked, "Where are the others?"

Sha Tonghai said, "He was, he was rescued by Chen Boyang of the Kuocang faction!"

Chen Boyang!

I asked, "Why is Chen Boyang here?"

Sha Tonghai said: "The little ones don't know either. But I can see that Chen Boyang is very familiar with that kid, as if they have known each other for many years. ”

Once again, I was lost.

In my memory, the only intersection between Li Xiaoqian and Chen Boyang is just two sides of the Chaohu Martial Arts Conference and the Huaishui River, how could it become the "old acquaintance for many years" mentioned in Shatonghaikou?

unless

I was shocked and trembled uncontrollably. Unless at the Kuocang Mountain Martial Arts Conference that year, the masked man I saw who felt familiar was Li Xiaoqian!

"Hero?"

Just as I was in shock and couldn't extricate myself, Sha Tonghai called me softly. I absentmindedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Sathorn smiled and asked, "Can I go?"

I said, "You go." ”

As if a death row prisoner had received a pardon, Sha Thonghai thanked me for his kindness, turned around and packed up two bags of gold, silver and jewelry, and carried them on his back.

"Ding!"

A crisp and pleasant sound inexplicably attracted me. It was the sound of a turquoise hairpin falling to the ground. The hairpin is warm in color, verdant and lovely, and it is ingenious to make the appearance of green bamboo with leaves. The emerald green bamboo also descends, and the crescent moon of a bend of silver exudes a bright white light.

Sha Tonghai bent down to pick it up. I couldn't help but blurt out "Wait!"

Sha Tonghai immediately stopped his movements, bent over and remained motionless. I picked up the hairpin and held it in my hand, and the more I looked at it, the more I loved it. The silver crescent moon hidden in the bamboo leaves inexplicably reminds me of Satsuki.

If you wear her head, I don't know how beautiful and moving it will be.

I said, "Can you give it to me?"

Sha Tonghai was stunned, he looked at the hairpin reluctantly, his face showed embarrassment, and said, "This, this"

I asked, "No?"

Sha Tonghai's face changed, and he hurriedly smiled, "Okay, okay, of course, the hero likes to take it." ”

I nodded and took the hairpin into my arms. At that moment, I left all my worries behind me, and I only thought about how happy she would be when I gave it to Satsuki.

Will she snuggle up in my arms and smile at me tenderly, just like when she was on the shore of Poyang Lake?

In August of the sixteenth year of Shaoxing, the army that ruled the world conquered the city of Ji'an.

The counterinsurgency army was losing ground one after another. The army in charge of the world is like a broken bamboo, approaching the two roads of Jiangsu and Zhejiang step by step.

I think that at this time, I am only afraid of sitting in the palace

The emperor above can't sit still anymore, so he is so anxious that he runs around. For some reason, when I thought of his anxious appearance, I was inexplicably happy.

Along the way, Li Xiaoqian's affairs have been hovering in my mind, both confusing and angry.

If he is really the man in black at the Kuocang Mountain Martial Arts Conference, then why has he been hiding it from me for so long?

Why did he lie to me?

I looked down and thought about it, walking absent-mindedly, and in my reverie, I couldn't feel myself walking, I only felt that the dry yellow earth under my feet kept retreating behind me.

In a trance, I looked up, and a straight fork in both directions appeared under the cloudless dome.

Of these two roads, one leads to Lujia Villa. And the other can go to Kucang Mountain.

If I hadn't heard Sha Tonghai's words, I wouldn't hesitate to run to Lujia Villa to find Xiao Yue. However, there are no assumptions in life, and I really can't ignore Sha Tonghai's words, Li Xiaoqian's secret is like a heavy plumb that falls on my heart, making me unbearable.

I touched my chest. The jade hairpin still quietly awaits its new owner.

Let's wait a little longer.

When the scorching sun was in the sky, I looked in the direction of Lujia Villa, the earth was steaming, and the air shook and swayed the straight line almost like a dream.

I turned around and walked to another intersection, in the direction of Kucang Mountain, and ran quickly.

Many years later, when I took Satsuki's hand and walked through the endless grassland, I told her about the choice of this day.

What a cruel and terrible intersection this is.

Fortunately, Satsuki was as gentle as ever, and she comforted me by saying that when people choose which path to choose so as not to make mistakes, who can see through the scene behind the choices in this world?

September of the sixteenth year of Shaoxing.

After thousands of mountains and rivers, I arrived at Kuocang Mountain.

When I climbed the mountain gate, two disciples who set up cards stopped me and said, "Tickets for going up the mountain, five taels of silver!"

Five taels?!

I exclaimed, "Isn't it one tael of silver? How did it become five taels in a year?"

The disciple in the costume of the Kuocang sect looked me up and down, sat on the stone pier with one butt, his index finger cocked, clasped his nostrils, and said, "The price of pork has risen!"

I said, "The price of pork has risen, what's the matter with the tickets?"

Another disciple slapped the table and said loudly, "Because we also want to eat pork!"

In desperation, I had to take out five taels of silver and buy a "pass paper". I smiled helplessly, the steeply rising prices can only be compared to the moment I pay for the peaceful days of the world.

Carrying the yellow talisman-like "pass paper" into my arms, I was about to continue moving forward, when I saw the disciple sitting on the stone pier and digging his nose suddenly stood up. He reached out to stop me, and the fingers that had gouged through his nostrils were unintentionally or not

Intentionally rubbed it on my chest, leaving me with a wave of disgust.

I asked, "What else?"

He said, "It is forbidden to carry blades up the mountain, so please give us the blades for temporary storage." ”

The thought of handing over the Jiulang Sword to them made me reluctant, uneasy, and unwilling in every way. I wanted to reason with them, but after thinking about it, how many troubles I had caused in the past because of my impulsiveness, and now that I have arrived at the territory of Kucang Mountain, I must always abide by their rules, so as not to increase the number of rights and wrongs.

I took out the Jiulang sword and was about to hand it to the disciple, but I heard him say again, "One tael of silver." ”

It's fucking endless.

I said angrily, "Didn't you pay five taels of silver, why do you still charge me money?"

The disciple said impatiently, "Five taels of silver is a ticket, and one tael of silver is a store of goods!"

I couldn't bear it anymore, put the Jiurou sword in my sleeve, and said, "It's not saved!" After saying that, I held back my anger and strode towards the mountain.

"Stop! stop!"

The two disciples were in hot pursuit, shouting loudly behind me.

I ignored it and strode forward. Suddenly, the disciple rushed in front of me with a strong stride, blocking my way, and said, "What a bold man, he dares to lead a sword into the mountain!"

I said, "What if you break in?!"

He said loudly, "Ten taels fine!"

I couldn't help it anymore, even the robbers of the ancient mountain road were not so endless as they were. I yelled, "Get out of here!"

However, instead of rolling away, the disciple swung his fist at my face.

I turned to one side and easily dodged.

Unexpectedly, the disciple behind me also punched me in the back of the head at the same time. I dodged, causing two swift and fierce iron fists to unexpectedly hammer together.

"Click!"

There was a cracking sound of bones coming from between two fists that collided abruptly. The two disciples screamed "oops", and at the same time put away their fists and rubbed them, their expressions were painful, which inexplicably made me feel a little guilty.

I said, "Are you all right?"

The two disciples were flushed, and they drew their swords one after another, and slashed at me without saying a word.

I retreated again and again to dodge, and at the same time took out the Jiulang sword, "ping-pong" twice, and the two knives were broken into four. The two disciples were so angry that they threw the broken knives in their hands and threw themselves at me.

No matter what moves, what punches, or kung fu, they scratched, pulled, and bit me indiscriminately

By the time I tried to break them free, their clothes had been torn to the ground, especially a terrible gash in my shoulder, which ran straight from my shoulder to my elbow.

Still unfazed, the two of them jumped up and pounced on me. I flew up and kicked a man to the ground, knocking his head on the ground and fainting instantly.

Another disciple may have felt that he was fighting alone, and suddenly lost his confidence, so he turned around and ran towards the mountain with a curse.

I wanted to let him go

opened, but when he saw his ruined and tattered clothes, he didn't get angry. I rushed forward and kicked the disciple who was running away while scolding.

The disciple staggered down the stone steps, turned his head to look at me in trepidation, and said, "You, what are you going to do?!"

I said, "Take your clothes off!"

The disciple hurriedly hugged his chest and said, "I, I'm a man!"

I said, "I don't want a woman!"

After saying that, I grabbed the disciple and divided him by two and stripped him off. Changing into the clothes of the Kucang faction, I still felt uneasy, so I threw my clothes into the ravine, leaving the naked disciples of the Kucang sect under the shade of the sky, and walked towards the mountain with a happy heart.
