The dusk in Sandao Village is still quiet and beautiful, and the children chase after the newborn puppies in the village, and from time to time there is a milky laugh and barking of dogs. After a busy day, the villagers gathered in twos and threes on the village path to chat and relieve their boredom, which was the most popular time of the day in the village.

"Alas, old Liutou, don't be fooled. ”

In the crowd gathered under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, Geng San's quarrel was heard, and he grabbed the wrist of the old man opposite, and Lao Liu Tou was trying to pick up the fallen pieces on the side of the chessboard.

At this time, a group of onlookers around followed suit, which made Lao Liutou's face a little embarrassed, and he threw the chess pieces back in anger.

"Who said I want to regret chess, I'm just taking advantage of something, Geng San, you are a big fart kid who deserves to call me an old man, I am estimated to be older than your grandfather, and I didn't teach you this chess?"

Immediately, Lao Liu Tou turned his head to a group of coaxing villagers, "Go and go, you don't even know how to read, can you understand chess?"

......

Sandao Village is located in the deep mountains, and it can be called a paradise in the troubled times. Most of the villagers rest at sunrise and sunset, and it is common for them to be illiterate. But these villagers, who are bored to watch chess, have seen a lot, and they still know a few chess pieces.

It's just that the only one in the village who can play against Lao Liu Tou is Geng San, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him.

Geng San has been in the village for more than half a year.

Half a year ago, Orion Geng Er killed a black bear and rescued Geng San, who had been caught in the chest, from under the bear's claws. When he carried Geng San back, Geng San was already unconscious. There is no doctor in the village, so Geng Er can only collect some herbs to stop bleeding and paste it for Geng San, whether he can survive or not depends on his creation.

Unexpectedly, Geng San, who seemed to be a weak scholar, escaped from the ghost gate, but he didn't remember anything before he fell into a coma.

The honest and kind Geng Er simply said, "Brother, don't worry, since you don't even remember your name, then be my brother first, I'm Geng Er, and you can be called Geng San." There is chaos outside, when do you remember your life experience, when will you leave again. ”

Geng San was naturally grateful. Seeing that he was white and tender, with a slender figure, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with Geng Er's speed of hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, so he had to stay in the village and wander. Fortunately, he did not forget his ability to read and break, and when he was fine during the day, he taught the children in the village to read and write, and soon became familiar with the villagers.

Lao Liu Tou is a carpenter in the village. He has an eccentric temper and doesn't like to deal with people on weekdays. On this day, I saw Geng San teaching the children to read, and couldn't help but ask, "You doll is literate?

Geng San shook his head.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll teach you, you learn and see. ”

Lao Liu Tou has a chess set made of high-quality camphor wood, and the chess pieces have been oily and shiny, exuding a faint fragrance of camphor wood. When he was bored, Lao Liu Tou once tried to teach a few seemingly clever juniors to play chess to relieve boredom, but the upright juniors in the village didn't like to ponder this mind-consuming thing, and they wanted to take a chess piece at every turn and directly slap Lao Liutou's "old handsome". The angry old Liu Tou simply collected this exquisite chess piece again.

Now that he sees Geng San, who can read and write, Lao Liu Tou can't bear the itching of skills, and wants to find a partner to play chess with him to relieve his boredom.

Like flying fields and horses, I didn't expect Geng San to soon fall in love with chess, and he had to play a few games with Lao Liu Tou every day. At first, he was always killed by Lao Liu Tou and lost his armor, but soon the two were comparable, and gradually, poor Lao Liu Tou lost more and won less.

Those idlers who don't like to use their brains to play chess, but like to watch the two play. Lao Liu Tou lost a lot, and he did a lot of things about flipping the chessboard and regretting the chess pieces, and everyone often watched it as a joke.

Seeing that the chess game in front of him, which was dominant at first, was about to lose again, Lao Liu's face was a little unbearable, he glared at the crowd around him, and simply threw the chess pieces again, "Forget it, it's getting dark, I should go back to sleep." ”

"I can't afford to lose, I can't afford to lose. "The onlookers didn't want to let him go easily.

"Who said I can't afford to lose, Geng San's chess is still taught by me, what can't I afford to lose. You people who don't know, don't scream. ”

Then, Lao Liu Tou pointed at Geng San again, and saw that there was a mocking look on his immature face, and he was even more angry.

"Stinky boy, don't get complacent too early, it's not certain who loses or wins in this game of chess. We'll do it again tomorrow. ”

Geng San didn't argue, but looked at the back of Lao Liu Tou leaving in a hurry, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and he secretly said in his heart, "Old Liu Tou, I didn't teach me chess." This time, I'm afraid you're going to lose. ”

......

Old Liu Tou's home was a thatched hut hidden halfway up the hillside on the edge of the village, some distance away from the houses of other villagers, and when he returned to his hut along the rugged mountain road, a sunset was hidden in the tall trees around him.

He carefully put away the camphor chess piece. Take out a ladder and slowly climb up to the roof of your house.

Lao Liu Tou has a habit of lying on the roof of his house every day before going to bed to watch the stars in the sky. Soon, everything around was completely lost in darkness, and the occasional barking of dogs could be heard in the village, which made the night even quieter.

The night breeze was slow, stirring the white hair on the old man's forehead, and the eyes of the old Liu Tou were no longer violent and perverse, seemingly calm but like a deep pool of eyes, flashing bottomless ripples.

No one knows that this seemingly ordinary old Liu Tou has seen too much blood and experienced too many slaughters, and only this endless starry sky can make his heart temporarily find a trace of peace.

The stars are shining and the night is falling. The drowsy feeling made Lao Liutou's body gradually float up, as if it began to rise continuously, until it was about to rise to the boundless galaxy and merge into it.

Thinking that he was going to become a little bit of countless stars, the wrinkles on Lao Liu's face gradually relaxed, and the corners of his slightly raised mouth seemed to have a hint of a smile.

......

Suddenly, the smile came to an abrupt end, and every muscle in the sleepy old man's body tightened. Too much killing has given this body the ability to instinctively sense danger. The old man still lay motionless, not even lifting his eyelids, but his ears had begun to fan slightly, catching the unsettling sensation of where it came from.

The ears heard the swaying of the new leaves on the branches, the bouncing of the crickets in the grass, the spitting of the small fish in the puddles, but beyond that, the sound of the wind, only the sound of the wind......

Obviously, the slightest hint of imperceptible danger seemed to sense the uneasiness of the prey, and then completely melted into the boundless darkness.

The sound of the wind is still only the sound of the wind......

Old Liu Tou's body was still unmoving, but his heartbeat had quietly accelerated. He firmly believes in his instincts, and this perception of danger has led him to escape from seemingly inescapable desperate situations countless times.

But what was it that made him feel the imminent danger? Suddenly, Lao Liu's heart trembled inexplicably.

Yes, it was the wind that disturbed him. At last, his ears heard that there was an unusual power in the wind, as if it were a butterfly flapping its wings, but the butterfly seemed to be flying in his ears.

The old Liu Tou's mind flashed away,

"Break the sky!"

At the same time, the old and withered body shot up, but instead of bouncing into the air, it slid flat towards the eaves, like a raindrop, sliding down the eaves to the ground.

Just where Lao Liu Tou was lying down, three sharp arrows with white tail feathers had been inserted, and the arrow body flashed with a faint blue light, neatly submerged into the thick thatch on the roof, and the half of the arrow body left outside the roof stood proudly in the wind.

From the moment the arrow leaves the bowstring to the time it hits the target, it has to go through a flight through the air, and when it pierces the air, it is bound to be accompanied by a sharp whistle. A true master can hear the sound, dodge the incoming arrows according to the sound of the sky, and track down the person who released the arrow.

But the spirit feather is the wind, it is a spirit feather arrow made of a special material, coupled with the unique feeling and manipulation of the wind by the person who released the arrow, the spirit feather itself can turn into a wisp of wind.

The spirit feather that merges with the wind will walk against the wind, and there will be no more sound of breaking the air. Specially designed for submitting peerless masters who can hear and distinguish positions. It's just that I don't know why an old man in Sandao Village, which is located in the wilderness, can alarm the spirit feather arrows used to kill top masters on the rivers and lakes.

Lao Liu Tou is a peerless master. No, he is not only a peerless master, he is a peerless master who even Ling Yu is a little helpless.

Old Liu Tou could not only hear the sound of breaking the wind, but even perceive the spirit feather. Therefore, when the three spirit feathers of the wind rushed closer, Lao Liu's body actually floated down from the roof like flowing water, avoiding this impeccable sneak attack.

Although he avoided Ling Yu, Lao Liu Tou was not proud, but looked around more cautiously, and muttered in the direction where Ling Yu flew, "I can't imagine that such a talent will appear in the rivers and lakes now? Today, I was fortunate to meet a master who could release three spirit feathers. Friend, why don't you come out and see you?"

Old Liu's words were soaked in deep internal force, and in the howling night wind, they seemed to turn into sharp arrows, heading straight towards Lingyu's direction. He pressed his figure against the wall of the hut, trying to see the attacker in the faint starlight.

These seemingly casual questions hide a trap set by Lao Liu. Obviously, the sneak attacker's archery skills were at its peak, but his mind was not calm enough, and he was stimulated by a few words from Lao Liu Tou, regardless of the danger of being discovered, and three spirit feathers shot out from a strong bowstring at the same time.

The three flying spirit feathers quickly attacked Lao Liu's hiding place in a zigzag arrangement, but Lao Liu Tou rushed towards the spirit feathers.

In the duel between masters, no small mistakes can be made, because in an instant, the roles of the hunter and the prey will be reversed. Obviously, Lao Liutou's trap was very effective, he not only heard that the spirit feather shot at this moment was fierce, but he failed to merge with the wind. Moreover, the incoming arrows also reveal where the shooter is hiding.

This mistake is enough for Lao Liu, who has become a hunter.

His withered body was like a lightless bolt of lightning, intertwined with the three spirit feathers. It looked like the spirit feather had penetrated his body, but nothing could stop Old Liu Tou's speed.

The bowstring that shot out the spirit feather was still trembling, and a sword blade that came out of nowhere in Lao Liutou's hand was already rubbing the trembling bowstring and resting on the neck of the archer hidden in the darkness.

"Hey, it's still a woman?" Old Liu Tou was surprised.

The archer in front of her was covered in a black night coat, but the tight black clothes outlined her graceful curves, and the cold blade that shone with cold light was attached to her bare white neck. Old Liu Tou even smelled the intoxicating girl's fragrance emanating from the archer's body.

The victory and defeat have been decided, and there is no need to say more, and the archer's trembling body let out a rebuke full of anger,

"Three-armed Yama, that, what happened to the person who can release spirit feathers by you?"

"Huh. A sneer squeezed out of Old Liu's gloomy face. Compared with the seemingly strange expressions of Lao Liu Tou during the day, this sneer at this moment makes people's scalp tingle.

"I guess you have a lot of connections to that guy. Alas, just how to say it. His spirit feather skills are not as good as yours. Even you're going to die by my sword, damn it, you should have guessed. ”

As he spoke, Lao Liu Tou unintentionally ripped off the veil on the black shadow's face. A delicate, feminine face reflects the cold moonlight of the night.

"Sure enough, it's a beautiful embryo. Presumably, if the spirit feather magicians back then could see what you look like now, they should also be blind. ”
