Chapter 4 Recovering face
The two of us continued on the road, gradually moving away from the Gobi, and the mountains and rivers on both sides were unconsciously dressed in green, full of vitality.
When I walked to a col lawn, I suddenly saw a person leaning on the edge of the cliff in front of me.
Hey, isn't this the swordsman with the green sword in the inn?
When the two of us got closer, we realized that it was not the man who asked me to borrow the sword, but his companion.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Why are you waiting for us, do you want to borrow a sword?" I said angrily.
"You didn't give my senior brother face, I'm here to teach you a lesson. ”
"Why teach me?"
"With this sword in my hand. ”
After the young man said this, he began his performance.
I saw him pull out his long sword, his body flew up and down, his hands danced, the green sword stretched and retracted in his hand, one left and one right, up and down, to be honest, I didn't understand what routine he was doing. But after a moment, I remembered.
I still remember that when I was still in high school, there was a classmate named Wang Xiaohu in my class, with a round face and short body, who boasted that he had won the first level of provincial dance, and was praised by the teacher as a rare talent in today's dance industry. In order to live up to his reputation, he decided to present a scandal to our class at the graduation party. Our whole class filled the classroom that night, and the first half of the classroom was deliberately set aside for Wang Xiaohu to show his talents.
Wang Xiaohu, who came out after a long time, greeted everyone a few words, and then began his performance. I saw that his left hand was raised to the left, his right hand was raised to the right, and then he danced up and down, and then wanted to spin on one leg in place, I don't know if the sole was too hard or the floor was too rough, Wang Xiaohu couldn't turn halfway, stopped in mid-air for less than half a second, and fell straight down.
Wang Xiaohu was quite embarrassed to get back up, and everyone applauded him for his courage to get up from wherever he could fall.
"I'm sorry, it's too rough. Wang Xiaohu explained.
Later, Wang Xiaohu continued his performance, but unfortunately, he got stuck on the section where the ground was too rough every time.
The faces of me and everyone became gloomy when Wang Xiaohu fell for the seventh time, and I secretly wondered when this guy was going to fall.
"Very good, next time in the dance room, how about asking Wang Xiaohu to dance this "Twilight of Doom" for us. The head teacher played a round in time, eliminating Wang Xiaohu's embarrassment, and everyone also burst into warm applause with the head teacher's applause.
I saw Wang Xiaohu bow to our class with a polite dry smile, and then turned to leave, probably because he didn't dance well and was in a bad mood, and he tripped over the steps of the podium after only two steps. When everyone was panicking, Wang Xiaohu did a front flip, stood firmly outside the door, shook his hands, and walked away without delay. When the whole class, including the class teacher, was stunned, I applauded, and it was the best dance performance of the night.
Recalling this scene, and looking at the performance of the swordsman in front of me, I remembered that Wang Xiaohu learned from him.
The swordsman gestured for a long time, and suddenly condensed his sword and did not move, his eyebrows were upside down, and he glared and scolded: "Since Your Excellency has said that the sword sheath is separated, it will be bloody, and I want to learn and learn." ”
This kind of momentum is really scary, although I don't see how good his swordsmanship is, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how rough his swordsmanship is, he may kick me to death with a front flip.
At this time, my ancient sword was shaking all the time, but in such a dangerous situation, I didn't have the heart to study the problem of this ancient sword trembling.
"I have a word to say, if your Excellency can refute it, I would rather die in your hands with a sword, and never fight with your sword. I said lightly, holding the ancient sword in my arms.
Qingxin looked at me with a look of surprise on her face.
"Okay, let you be a good dead ghost, if you have anything to say, tell me quickly. "The swordsman is still aggressive.
"I want to take a look at your green sword. ”
The swordsman was stunned.
"What do you say. ”
"I said, I want to borrow your green sword to take a look. ”
"Are you crazy? I'm fighting you right now. ”
"Then Your Excellency just won't borrow it?"
", lend it to you, I'll use my teeth to compete with you for a sword. ”
I sneered faintly, and continued: "Admittedly, this is why I didn't lend the sword to your friend before, because the sword is my life, my life cannot be borrowed, and Your Excellency's life will naturally not lend it to me." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the ancient sword on my chest trembled even more, and I looked into the red eyes of the swordsman, knowing that he was extremely angry.
The swordsman gritted his teeth, showing that he was unwilling in his heart.
"Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now. The swordsman pointed the tip of his sword at me.
"You haven't answered my question yet. ”
"You....... I don't need a reason to kill you, and if you don't compare with a sword today, you will also die. ”
"You lost. I said lightly.
"Ahh The swordsman could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and raised his sword straight at me, and at this moment, the ancient sword in my chest trembled violently like never before, and I almost couldn't hold it.
At this critical juncture, a long sword stabbed obliquely, and the tip of the sword hit the sword of the swordsman Qingjian, and with a crisp sound, he couldn't hold the hilt of the sword at his wrist, and the green sword flew to the ground two meters away.
In just a few seconds, I didn't move a toe from beginning to end, and looked sideways at the side, this life-saving sword turned out to be stabbed by Miss Qingxin.
The swordsman's face was pale, and he seemed to be a little jealous of Qingxin, so he didn't immediately run away to get the sword, suppressed his anger, and said to Qingxin with a fist: "May I ask this girl with a high surname and what kind of skill she inherits." ”
"My master is Mu Qingfeng, you get out. Qingxin gracefully put the long sword into the scabbard.
The swordsman saw that the two of us were naturally in a group, and since Qingxin came to her aid, it seemed unlikely that she would kill me today.
"I said goodbye under the next. The swordsman bowed to Qingxin, and then walked in front of me, whispering but viciously: "You have to be careful in the future, don't let me bump into you alone." ”
After saying this threatening word, the swordsman walked over and picked up his green sword, snorted into its scabbard, glared at me again, and strode away from behind us.
I let out a long sigh of relief, and finally survived.
With this thrilling experience, I deeply realized that in an era when big powers like the Warring States were competing and disasters were everywhere, and everyone was carrying a sword to protect themselves, it was difficult to gain a foothold in the world if they didn't know how to use martial arts.
I finally realized how important it is to build a harmonious society, and I am even more determined to return to the modern civilized society immediately.
"Thank you, girl, for saving your life. I let go of the ancient sword I was holding in my chest and said to Qingxin.
"You don't have to thank me for taking the money to do things. ”
Without speculation, the two of us hit the road again.
On the way, I kept thinking about one thing.
Why does this ancient sword tremble?
