Seventeen, the fourth round of bamboo leaves Qianqian
It's decided today, tomorrow your father will still rent land, wouldn't it be a waste to put two laborers without it? Qiu'er, since you have arrived at our Xie family, you have to live a hard life. Daddy knows that you are filial, and we understand it. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiubai was speechless, silently wrapped up, and put it back in the house.
Xiao Chengcheng slept for ten days, during which Dao Heng came twice, and he only stayed for a moment before returning. When he woke up again, Xiao Chengcheng's wounds were barely healed, but he had already lost a full circle. Xie Li led him to see Xie Sijiu and Ye Qianqian, and thanked him for saving his life. Qiu Bai knew that it was impossible to avoid him anymore, so he also came out to meet. Xiao Qingcheng pulled a few wrists to dry rice, because it was tasteless in his mouth, he only ate a few plates of small pickles, and said that he was good, and when he wanted to drink, he was stopped by Xie Li.
After devouring it like darkness, he finally relieved the hunger in his stomach, and discussed with Xie Li to go to Daoheng's house to thank him. Although Xie Li was persuaded hard, he only said that he would not obey, so he had no choice but to take him to Daoheng's house, but he saw that the door of the cave was wide open, people went to the kiln, and there were a lot of herbs, jars and other things left, and the two were surprised and puzzled, so they had to return. The three of them were also surprised when they heard this.
At the end, Xiao Qingcheng said: "Brother Xie, sister-in-law Xie, I have been in your mansion for more than half a month, and at the beginning of the Xie brothers, I sacrificed my life to save them, and relied on the four of them to take care of them by forgetting to sleep and eat, and during this time, they did not give up, otherwise Xiao Mou would have been poisoned to death even if he was not stabbed by the enemy." Today I have recovered, and if I continue to bother with it, I am really terrified. I don't know what has happened in the past half a month in my gang, so I will say goodbye to the four benefactors. The great grace and Dade Xiao are engraved in his heart, if there is half a need in the future, he will definitely go to the soup and die. ”
Xie Sijiu sat in the main seat of the hall, and Ye Qianqian stood aside. After listening to Xiao Chengcheng's words, Xie Sijiu said bluntly that there was no need, and the rest of the people also worked hard to stay with each other, and only taught to stay for one more day. Xiao Qingcheng saw that the Xie family was sincere in staying, so he promised to leave tomorrow.
Xiao Qingcheng briefly recounted the past, talked about the swordsmanship of the man in Tsing Yi, shook his head and said: "I can't think of how to deal with such strange sword moves even if I want to break my head." Zen Master Dao Heng is a member of his sect and should know how to crack it. Xie Li said: "Listen to what you mean, the man in Tsing Yi is always waiting in the place where he punches and kicks, that is, he knows your tricks well." He also grabbed Qiubai and asked him if this "know-it-all" was used well, and Qiubai nodded happily.
Xiao Qingcheng said: "If you know all about a set of boxing techniques or a move and a half, it is also common sense, but no matter what kung fu you use, he is all there to wait." Xie Li sighed: "Alas, this good grandfather doesn't know where to go." Xiao Qingcheng said: "There are mountains outside the mountains, there are heavens outside the sky, and it is not surprising that there are such clever swordsmanship in the world, but I have never seen or heard of it before, and I am really invincible," Xie Li said: "If you are not invincible, you will be invincible, what can you do?" next time you don't let him know where you want to fight, maybe he is not defeated by you...... Oh, he's dead, there's no next time, if you live and die, then aren't you the enemy of him?"
Xiao Tingcheng suddenly stood up, grabbed Xie Li's hand, and asked in surprise: "What did you say?" Xie Li was also taken aback, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that if you are not invincible, what can you do? Xie Li said: "You grabbed my hand so much, and if you say a word, it's ...... He has ...... Die, for him is invincible to you. Xiao Qingcheng still shook his head: "No, go further." Qiubai said slowly: "There is nothing to wait. ”
Xiao Qingcheng shouted: "Exactly!" shook the beams of the house. He said, "Brother Xie, you are so spiritual." Xie Li's ears were ringing, and he raised his voice and said, "How can there be spirituality?" Xie and Ye also came out of the house and asked together, and Xie Li said the reason. Xiao Qingcheng said: "Brother Xie has a big knot in my heart. Ye Qianqian said: "Xiao Daxia, I am not a martial arts student, and I can't do everything thoroughly, how can I make the opponent wait?"
Xiao Qingcheng was stunned for a moment: "Hmm, how can you wait......? Think about it. If you want to be transparent and have a new set of routines, that's really a good thing. Xie Li said: "When Brother Xiao creates it, don't forget to teach it to the younger brother." Xiao Qingcheng smiled bitterly and said: "How easy is it to create a set of kung fu by yourself? How many martial arts masters have spent their lives to create a one-and-a-half-move style, some rely on one-and-a-half-tricks to open the door and establish a faction, and some do not wait for the golden stone to be tested, so they drive to the west." Alas!" I couldn't help but shake my head when I thought of this.
Xie Li said angrily: "Is this difficult, then what can I do if I have spirituality?" Xiao Qingcheng said: "Brother Xie, people who learn martial arts are the most understanding, I think you have this talent, it's a pity that it's ......" Ye Qianqian said: "It's a pity, it's not a pity at all." Those who study literature and martial arts are not good at talking about the pros and cons, since this is the case, it is better to keep it as it is. Xiao Tingcheng wanted to say, "It's a pity that he is too old, his foundation is not stable, otherwise the future is unlimited", after listening to Ye Qianqian's words, he said: "Raise the pen to settle the world, and go on the horse to determine the future." I don't know how to put pen to peace in the world, I still believe in the horse and the world, if there is a body of outstanding martial arts, even if you don't want to get rid of violence and peace, you can also strengthen your body. ”
Ye Qianqian said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that after studying hard for more than ten years, she may not be able to mix up fame, and those who have merit will have to get an official and a half-job." The low, painstakingly seeking progress, scratching their heads day and night. Those who are high will inevitably form a group of parties to protect themselves, either from here to one or another, and in the end they will not be able to avoid the scourge of killing, and they will not be able to die well, and even worse, they will affect relatives and friends. And the people who practice three times in winter and summer have borne a lot of unbearable hardships for ordinary people, so they want to be the top in the rivers and lakes, and no one wants to become the worst at the beginning. Since ancient times, 'there is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts', and those who are brave and ruthless abound, fighting for the false name of 'the first in the world', and the spire of the tower is changed every few years, which time is not the son who dies his father, and the wife who has no husband? Let's just talk about the harvest of a land like ours. Only more than nothing, peace and quiet, no quarrel with the world is the best. ”
When Xiao Qingcheng heard this, he was silent for a while. Xie left his mouth and said: "Mother, if you don't study, you can't say this if you want to." Ye Qianqianyuan was so choked that he opened his eyes and bit his lower lip with his teeth, so frightened that Xie Li hid behind Xie Sijiu and didn't dare to come out.
Xiao Qingcheng said slowly: "Sister-in-law Xie's kind words are really beautiful, and there is a sound on the ground, like a morning bell in the evening, which is thought-provoking." It's just that there are still some tricks, Xiao hasn't understood it yet, so let me take time to understand it again. "In my heart, I want to gather the strength of the triad to create a set of kung fu that makes the opponent wait.
Ye Qianqian's face was slightly red, and he retreated from the lotus step, and said: "Xiao Daxia is laughing, the concubine is just talking nonsense, don't delay your business." Qiubai nodded secretly, and said in her heart: "She is really beautiful and wise, and she is extremely enlightened, I can't tell this truth." I don't like other people learning martial arts, but is it really so bad to read and write?"
The next day, Xiao Chengcheng resigned and left for the north. Before leaving, tell the Xie family that if there is anything to look for him, you can go to Xuzhou Spring and Autumn Building. He left the fan again, saying that if he was not in the rudder, he could shine this fan with Elder Situ, and instructed him to only be Elder Situ. Xie Li put the fan close to his body, and Ye Qianqian asked him to put it in the box, but it shouldn't.
When he went out, Xie Sijiu said: "Brother Xiao, if it doesn't go well outside, come back, ah." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chengcheng fell to his knees, endured a few endurances, and still shed tears. He was originally an orphan with no father and mother, and he only shed tears once since he became an artist. Saying goodbye to the Xie family this time, I felt that it was a place to say goodbye to the three springs and return to the place of frost, so I was emotional. When the family saw him crying, they couldn't help but feel sad, especially when Qiu Bai thought about himself. Xie Li hurriedly picked it up, sent it a few miles north, and turned over the top of the mountain before saying goodbye.
After sending Xiao to the city, the north wind gradually rose, Xie Li suddenly remembered the word "Shuo" again, and said in his heart to hurry up and go home to ask his sister. After walking for a while, I saw black smoke billowing out of my chimney, which became heavier and heavier, and I was shocked, saying that this was not the time to make a fire, and I was afraid that it would catch fire. Then he strengthened his feet and ran wildly. When I got closer, I saw that there was already a spark coming out of the chimney, and there were four black-clothed people around the back door, standing in three and one sitting, each holding a sword, a spear and a halberd, and the sitting black-clothed man was on the periphery, shouting "hum and hum" in his mouth, and the other three were shouting and shouting. There was a grinding disc leaning on the door. Without guessing, it was clear that these people set fire to the house, and blocked the people inside from getting out.
Xie Li got up and jumped in from the back wall, picked up an axe, and rushed into the formation to slash and slash, shouting: "Who are you, what are you going to do?" Because of the fire in the house, "crackling" continued, the man in black did not notice that someone jumped into the courtyard, and when he heard the shout, the man in black who was sitting earlier had been cut down. The others saw Xie Li descending the mountain like a mad tiger, their eyes were fierce, unstoppable, and they avoided it at first. After coming back to his senses, he came up in the shape of a zigzag and shouted one after another: "The boss let him cut down! Be careful!" "Where did you hide Xiao Chengcheng? Don't say it, even you were thrown into the fire and burned to death!" "People in the front yard, come and help, come back here." The "hulala" in the front yard bypassed the two black-clothed people and worked together to deal with Xie Li.
Xie Li said: "You let the people go, and I will say when the fire is extinguished." Someone said: "It's all his grandmother's situation, who would dare to release him? Xie Li's axe was even more urgent.
Although the man in black was numerous, Xie Li was so fierce that he was unprepared, and he was born in chopping wood, and he was skilled in axe, and he overturned another one. But it didn't take long for him to reveal his true strength, he was stabbed a few times in his back, and he was also kicked a few times in the abdomen, and he fell back to the ground, and slipped out of the circle from the empty place between the two, and the axe also fell out of his hand. Xie Wei was in a hurry, thinking that it was not a pity for me to die, but the three of them were burned alive. When he turned over and got up, he saw a new piece of soil in the northwest corner, and a shovel was lying next to it. Suddenly, a spade of sand and soil dispersed towards the man in black along the wind, and the man in black could not open his eyes, and the formation was chaotic.
There is a slightly fat man among the men in black, and as soon as he raises his hand left and right, the man in black is divided into two teams, scattered left and right, and wants to teach Xie Li to take care of the left and right, so as to take advantage of the gap to attack him. Xie Li looked down and saw a corner of yellow cloth exposed, and threw the shovel forward, almost knocking down two more. Then reach out and pull out the burden, pinch it with both hands from below, so that a "heavenly girl scatters flowers", the yellow burden is scattered, and ten steps of fresh wind are scattered. The man in black saw a red mist rushing towards him, and the leader shouted: "Poisonous." "Jump, flash, flash. The red mist gained more and more momentum with the help of the wind, and although the five people dodged quickly, three of them were hit.
But seeing that the three of them were bleeding seven times in a row, they fell on their backs, and they didn't even struggle a few times before they saw the king of Hades, so there were only two people left in black. Look at me, look at you, turn around and run away. Xie Li picked up a steel knife on the ground and smashed it at the vest of the person behind him. "Knock" hit him in the back of the head, and the man fell forward. The former man fled and kicked the man in the face with his right heel. The straight kick made him stumble and almost fall down, just about to stand up straight, Xie Li had already grabbed behind him, kicked over, the man threw himself on the ground, and "Clickica" twice, kicking Xie Li to break his ankle.
The grinding disc at the door was very heavy, and Xie Li moved a few times from the temptation, so he retreated a few feet, ran a few steps, and flew up and kicked on the door. The door was made of wood, and it was leaning on a heavy object outside, so how could it resist this kick? Xie left the grinding plate, stabilized his body, and then fell to the ground, he felt a strong wind behind him pushing his back, and when he was confused, a red light rolled in front of him, and he was busy lying on the grinding plate. I saw several tongues of fire converging into a red dragon roaring past, scurrying out along the top of the door. At the same time, the north, south and east windows were completely destroyed and blasted out of the windowsill.
Fang wanted to open his mouth to look for someone, a puff of smoke went down his throat into his lungs, only to feel that the brain was flowing mercury and was running around, his chest was burning and choking, and the shape and length of the trachea were clear, and it seemed that someone had put his hand through the back of his neck and grabbed his throat, and his eyes couldn't help but shed tears, dripping on his face, like boiling water, and flying in an instant, like a knife simmering, smoky and roasted in front of him, and it was difficult to see things.
I vaguely heard a "woo" sound from in front of me, and I couldn't tell the number, and I tripped over my left foot by something, and I almost fell. Reaching out to find out that it was a person, it should be Xie Sijiu, one person on each side. Carrying Xie Sijiu, dragging one with one hand, he arched towards the back door.
The fire grew more and more intense, and fireballs and clods of wood and dirt continued to fall overhead. Suddenly, his right hand sank, and his hand was loosened, and the person who was dragging it fell down sharply, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, but the weight was a lot heavier, and he only said that he was already injured. After walking a few more steps, I suddenly felt light, I didn't have time to think about it, and I walked forward again, my toes were sore, and I kicked a hard object, and my heart should be the grinding plate, how can it be so difficult. At this moment, there was a "boom" behind him, and the roof collapsed.
Thinking that it was impossible to go out together, he put down his hands and threw Xie Sijiu out of the house, and then lifted the person in his right hand to throw out the sea of fire, and then lifted the person in his left hand and wanted to jump out of the door, but suddenly the vest was hit by a heavy object with a "bang", but it was a piece of burning wood, and a mouthful of blood of "wow" was poured on the grinding plate, and he got up and jumped out of the room, and the person in his hand also took off his hand. The mouthful of blood rolled on the grinding disc and jumped endlessly.
Fortunately, it was the north wind, and there was no smoke and fire disaster in the backyard, so I rubbed my eyes tightly, but the more I rubbed it, the more painful it became, and it was easy to see things clearly. Seeing that the three of them were tied with their hands and feet behind their backs, and with rags stuffed in their mouths, they hurriedly took them out, and Xie and Qiu couldn't stop coughing. Ye Qianqian was silent, the rags taken out of his mouth were full of black blood, and when he looked closely, there was a hole the size of a sea bowl in his back, and sparks could be seen flickering on the side, and he hurriedly extinguished it. But no matter whether Ye Qianqian shook left or right, he still closed his eyes tightly and didn't say a word.
Xie Li beat his chest and tempered his anger again, in the past half a day, he still didn't wake up, and he knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, but he didn't believe what he saw in front of him, and hugged Ye Qianqian and called "mother" with a voice.
Xie and Qiu gradually came to their senses, and they knew eight or nine when they saw this. Xie Sijiu knelt beside Ye Qianqian like a madman, "Lady, lady" shouted, and "Qianqian, Qianqian" kept coming, Qiubai also moved over, crying non-stop.
In the meantime, people within a radius of a few miles, some saw the fire, from time to time people came to visit, saw that the Xie family burned like this, there was no way to put out the fire, the livestock in the courtyard were in chaos, and the three of them seemed to be stupid, they just didn't hear anything, and there were corpses lying horizontally and vertically on the ground, not knowing the root cause, they were terrified, so they turned around and fled home, guessing to themselves.
The fire burned again, and the whole house finally collapsed, "booming" to the ground. The three of them turned their ears but did not hear them. Qiubai sobbed and said, "Li'er, untie us first." Xie Li calmly put Ye Qianqian on the ground, there was no light in his eyes, he stood up and untied the two, and untied Ye Qianqian again. Xie Sijiu fell on Ye Qianqian. Qiubai's hands were smooth, the pain in his chest and brain had been removed, and he felt that his arms were sore, and he buried Ye Qianqian in his head and cried.
Xie Li asked, "Is this ...... What's going on?" Qiubai raised his head and whimpered: "After you sent Brother Xiao away, a group of people broke into the door, tied us up without saying anything, and asked Xiao Chengcheng where is it now? I asked you where you were again, and my mother said that I had gone to chop wood. The gang was so angry that they stuffed rags in our mouths and set fire to the house, and we fled to the door, and moved to the north gate and couldn't open it, and then ......moved to the south gate.
Xie Li asked again, "From the Sanhe Gang?" Qiu Bai was silent. Xie Li suddenly remembered something, ran to the body of the group of black-clothed people, and flipped around, but found nothing. He also found that among the people who were cut by him, two of the wounds were not fatal, but they were no longer foaming at the mouth, and the corners of the ten steps of the breeze were only bloodless. Then he went to see the man who had broken his legs by kicking him, who also died foaming at the mouth, and guessed that he had poison in his mouth and killed himself.
returned to Ye Qianqian's side, looked at her face, and muttered: "Mother, don't sleep, I'm hungry, get up and cook for me......" Qiubai heard this plea, but begged for himself, only to feel that his heart was about to break.
Xie Sijiu slowly stood up, lowered his head and stared at Ye Qianqian for a long time, and kissed her forehead. He got up again, walked to the back door of the ruins, and said, "Li'er, there is an altar buried in the middle of the north wall of the cowshed, which belongs to your mother." He sighed again and said sadly: "Alas, why bother ——, death!" leaned over and hit the millstone.
Xie Li and Qiu Bai both rushed forward,
