Part 1 The Lonely Goose Against the Wind Chapter 14 Incognito
The three major sins of martial arts, killing teachers, killing fathers and slaughtering. If you commit one of them, you will fall into the eyes of the public. Xiao Cuo was unfortunately slandered and killed, and became a villain who was punished by everyone in the martial arts.
When he first arrived in Jing County, Xiao Cuo was embarrassed. Unkempt hair, beard, tattered clothes, scarred bodies, and bags of mosquito bites. Walking on crutches in the bustling market attracts sideways glances from pedestrians.
Xiao Cuo still had some broken silver on his body, which had been useless in the wilderness before. I just took it out today, walked to a noodle stall on the street, paid the money first, and finally ate a bowl of hot noodles.
Just as they were gobbling up noodles, two heroes came to the next table. One is fat, the other is thin. The two talked about it while eating noodles.
The fat man said: "Recently, the Hanshan Sword Sect has issued a hero post, and at the same time, it has put a heavy reward just to obtain the head of Xiao Cuo Dog Thief. ”
The thin man scolded: "Xiao mistakenly killed the master and the villain, and everyone was punished." Many bounty hunters in the martial arts are also looking for his whereabouts, but unfortunately no one has seen him. There are many portraits of him. ”
Xiao Cuo didn't dare to raise his head, buried himself in noodles and wanted to leave the land of right and wrong as soon as possible. At this time, a knife was put down in front of the table, and then a knight with the same beard sat down next to Xiao Cuo, and said to Xiao Cuo: "This brother, can you eat noodles at the table." ”
Xiao Cuo looked left and right, and there were still two tables in the meeting stall that were empty, and he said angrily: "Aren't there no people at the two tables over there?" Why do you want to sit next to me. ”
The bearded man smiled: "Because you are my prey, of course I have to be closer to my prey." His left hand clenched the scabbard, and his eyes stared at Xiao Cuo fiercely.
Xiao Cuo was at a loss for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "What do you mean, I don't understand! Let's go sit elsewhere!"
"You just paid the bill with silver, and if you were a beggar, you wouldn't use it. The bearded man motioned to Xiao Cuo to look at the beggars outside, and the broken bowl was full of copper coins.
Xiao Cuo raised his eyebrows and retorted: "Isn't it okay to be a kind-hearted outsider?"
The bearded man got up, took out the portrait from his arms, pretended to take a closer look at Xiao Cuo, and shouted: "Xiao Cuo! don't pretend anymore, remove the beard and you are exactly the same as the portrait." ”
Xiao Cuo suddenly panicked, lifted the crutches beside him, and ran out of the bunk. The bearded man was in hot pursuit.
In fact, Xiao Cuo doesn't have to be nervous at all, it's the beard that makes the trick. Portraits are not painted on people, and it is impossible to look very similar, let alone in the case of beards. The bearded man was just bluffing, but he didn't expect Xiao Cuo, who had little experience in the rivers and lakes, to be deceived and so easy to expose.
The two chased one after the other in the market. Poor Xiao Cuo had been hungry before, and after this fierce chase, he was out of breath and slowed down.
Seeing this, the bearded man jumped to block Xiao Cuo's way, and laughed: "No one can escape, Hu Xiao's pursuit." I think you should go back to the Cold Mountain Sword Sect with me! I will take the reward, and you will be punished. From now on, there is no need to wander in the rivers and lakes. ”
Xiao Cuo gasped and refused: "Wishful thinking, I won't go back with you!"
Hu Xiao didn't say much, the big knife was unsheathed, and the knife technique was like a tiger descending the mountain, fierce and domineering. Xiao Cuo used a cane as a sword, and the sword intent of the Shangqing Dynasty was displayed, like Wu with the wind, comfortable and elegant.
The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, regardless of whether they were high or low. However, Xiao Cuo was hungry and did not sleep well for a long time, and his mental and physical strength were far inferior to Hu Xiao. Gradually, the swordsmanship is lacking in qi, and the footwork is light.
To make matters worse, Hu Xiao's weapon was a sharp knife, while Xiao Cuo's weapon was just a wooden crutch. After a few rounds, the crutches already had several knife marks.
Seeing that the crutches were about to break, Xiao Cuo no longer hesitated. Splashed all the sauerkraut around him at Hu Xiao. took advantage of Hu Xiao's blocking of the dishes and took the opportunity to escape.
It's another chase, but Xiao Cuo can learn to be good this time. Pick the alleys in the city, the alleys have many forks, and there are many twists and turns, and you can't see people in a blink of an eye. Hu Xiao stomped his foot angrily.
Finally getting rid of the bounty hunter, Xiao Cuo couldn't support it anymore, and sat on the ground gasping for air. Before you can catch your breath, new troubles will come again. Xiao Cuo was actually surrounded in the corner by a group of beggars.
The beggar gang is known as the largest gang in the world, and its disciples are all over the 14 states. Actually, that's bragging, but that's not the case. There are many county towns where the beggars are unable to penetrate. So there were a lot of splashers, pretending to be beggars to recruit disciples, and pulling tiger skins as a banner to dominate the local area.
First, these people collect taxes from other beggars, which is called "protection money". The second is to be a thug for the rich and big, and he will beat whoever is given money.
They looked at Xiao Cuo's ragged and unkempt head, and took it for granted that he was a new beggar. Isn't this a bully and a little tax?
When one of the beggars said that he would collect protection money, Xiao Cuo sneered. actually bullied Tai Sui's head, Xiao got up and took crutches without three moves, and knocked the beggars to the ground.
Xiao Cuo grabbed the arrogant guy just now, shouting that he would break his two legs without giving protection money, and slapped his head and face a few times. It only made the corner of the man's mouth spurt blood, desperately begging for mercy.
At this moment, Xiao Cuo had an idea in his heart, twisted the beggar, and said, "You take me to see your boss, don't say no!"
The beggar hurriedly said, "Uncle, the little one doesn't dare to take you there." If the boss knows that I took you there. You've got to kill me!"
"Oh?" Xiao Cuo sneered: "Isn't there something unsightly to do? don't make the uncle angry, otherwise ......" A palm slapped on the tree beside him, and the tree snapped in response.
The beggar was so frightened that he had to lead the way. The two of them came to the ruined temple a few miles outside the city. I could only hear bursts of laughter from inside, mixed with the sound of gambling.
Xiao Cuo twisted the beggar and broke into the broken temple directly. I saw that the people in the temple were divided into two groups, one was making a fire on the left hand side to make soup, and the other was gambling on the right hand side. The one who crossed Erlang's leg in the middle thought to be the boss in the beggar's mouth.
Xiao Cuo threw the beggar in his hand, and before the boss could open his mouth to ask, he was beaten violently. In the blink of an eye, the boss was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. When the rest of the people saw the boss being beaten, they didn't dare to stand by and watch, babbling together, hoping to defeat the uninvited guests with more people.
I never thought that Xiao Cuo was strong in martial arts. After a while, everyone in the temple lay down except for Xiao Cuo, wailing.
Xiao Cuo twisted the boss and asked, "Do you know why I'm coming to trouble you?"
"The hero spares his life, the villain really doesn't know where to offend the hero!" The boss begged for mercy while arching his hand. Slurred speech, nosebleeds.
Xiao Cuo pointed to the beggar who was lying on the ground, that is, the beggar who had just screwed in, and said, "I was sitting in the corner, and he came to me and said to me, asking me to pay protection money, otherwise I will break my legs!"
The boss lost his prestige in front of Xiao Cuo, and when he heard that his subordinates were in trouble, he glared at the beggar on the ground with a vicious look. It was so imposing that it frightened the beggar and trembled.
"Don't worry, the villain will definitely teach him a good lesson when the time comes. Please don't remember the villain!" the boss thought that this would be a good place to settle things.
Unexpectedly, Xiao staggered to the point and asked the boss for silver. The boss was embarrassed, and Xiao Cuo's eyes became more and more aggressive. The boss didn't dare to refuse, and gave all the hidden silver to Xiao Cuo.
got the silver, Xiao Cuo walked away. I went straight to the clothing shop and picked out a set of light blue old clothes to change into. He also ran to the armory shop and carefully selected a sword that could be used. In the end, I bought a quilt and hid.
The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, Xiao Cuo is not stupid to beat people, thinking that it will be so easy. So I bought a quilt, found a better roof to lay on the floor at night, and didn't live in an inn.
Sure enough, at night, the boss took the gang and all set out to search for Xiao Cuo's whereabouts. The result must have been a failure.
The moon was as silver as silver this night, but a corner was missing. Xiao Cuo carefully found the roof of a large family, put on a quilt and lay comfortably, looking at the waning moon with peace of mind. The most interesting thing is that he also stole a roast chicken from this big family and ate it to his heart's content.
In the end, he fell asleep in his longing for Lu Yao and his anxiety about the future.
When I woke up one night, I found that there were many people gathered in the courtyard. Some people even took ladders to prepare to go up to the roof, and it seemed that Xiao Cuo had been discovered.
Looking at the discussion and noisy shouting of everyone below, Xiao Cuo laughed loudly. threw the quilt and jumped away from the big house. Regardless of whether they chased after him or not, he walked through the market with a smile and a sword.
At this time, Hu Xiao came to the door again. Xiao Cuo avoided hurting the innocent and led Hu Xiao out of the city.
In the wilderness, the two confronted each other. Hu Xiao relied on yesterday's small victory and took the lead in the battle. The knife technique is still the same, fierce and domineering. Xiao Cuo's long sword is out of the sheath, which is completely different from yesterday's style, and the swordsmanship is wide open and closed, stabilizing Hu Xiao's head.
After fighting more than a dozen moves, Hu Xiao has been injured in three places. Under the difference in strength, he had to get out and run away. Hu Xiao didn't know that Shangqing Sword Intent was a set of swordsmanship based on internal strength. In the last battle, Xiao Cuo's vitality had not recovered, and Shangqing's sword intent could not exert its power. This time, Xiao Cuo had already prepared, and his strength was naturally not the same.
Xiao Cuo no longer stayed, after defeating Hu Xiao. Randomly selected the direction, walked north and left Jingxian.
It was three days later that the news of Xiao Cuo's presence in Jing County had reached the Hanshan Sword Sect.
During the time that Xiao Cuo left the Hanshan Sword Sect and knew that he was in Jing County, Lu Yao always stayed in his boudoir, except for the need to not leave the door for half a step. The outside is guarded by his father's cronies, perhaps because he is worried that Xiao Cuo will come again.
Lu Hanxing came to see her daughter again, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't help but be angry and said: "The stinky girl is so useless, she tortures herself like this for a man." ”
Lu Yao sneered, and said sneeringly: "It's better than my father tossing the Hanshan Sword Sect into what it is now, at least I know that no matter where he is, he will always think of me." ”
Lu Hanxing was extremely angry and angry, and slapped the table and shouted: "Don't say it again! You are my daughter, everyone else can say it, but you can't! This is fate!" After speaking, he slammed the door and left.
Lu Yao looked at the back of his father leaving, his eyes were full of helplessness.
At this time, the news of Xiao Cuo's presence in Jingxian County came back to the Hanshan Sword Sect, how would Lu Hanxing deal with him?
