Volume 2 Treading Chapter 56 Fire
Hao Geqiu didn't feel ashamed, but was very pleased, after all, the martial arts of this person who forced him back were taught by himself. He just bared his teeth, shook his arm, and scolded, "You kid... Are you trying to kill me?"
Lu Sanchuan relaxed his spirit and trotted forward to meet him, "Master, I'm sorry..."
Hao Geqiu took the opportunity to make a move "one finger of Qiankun", which approached Lu Sanchuan's chest.
Lu Sanchuan immediately stiffened his body, wanting to use the way of others to govern his body. He stretched out his hands and grabbed Hao Qiqiu's right foot.
How could Hao Geqiu not see through his thoughts? Closing his right leg and getting up with his left leg, he kicked and kicked his hands away, and then lay on his back in the air, walking forward with both feet.
Lu Sanchuan ate six kicks in a row and fell to the ground.
Su Qing was originally sitting on the side, but when he saw this situation, he was so frightened that he immediately stood up and screamed, "Brother Chuan!"
Lu Sanchuan sat on the ground with his left hand, waved his right hand to show that he was fine, and then pressed it on his chest and rubbed it vigorously. The eyes were tightly closed, and a few shallow wrinkles were squeezed out of the corners of the eyes. After a moment, he let out a long breath, "Ah... Master, you're so ruthless!"
Hao Geqiu shrugged his shoulders and pouted, indicating his innocence, "If I really did it, you would have been unconscious." Boy, you're smart and smart, but when you're on the spot, you're inexperienced. In the next few days, I won't teach you leg techniques, but more actual combat. However, you still have to pay your tuition. ”
Lu Sanchuan opened his eyes, and several black cracks briefly appeared in front of his eyes, which quickly disappeared. He smiled bitterly, got up from the ground, clapped his hands, and then bowed his hands, very respectfully, "Yes, Master!"
Only then did Su Qing relax and look at Lu Sanchuan stupidly. She likes such days, being by Lu Sanchuan's side, without intrigue, bland and warm.
At dusk, Lu Sanchuan took Su Qing and found a lot of dry broken branches and hay nearby, and then took out the fire folds, intending to light a bonfire and sit around the fire, but there was a slight flame, Hao Geqiu rushed over and trampled the flame with one foot.
Both of them were taken aback.
Lu Sanchuan raised his head, but he saw Hao Geqiu showing a fierce appearance, and his eyes could kill.
Lu Sanchuan asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Hao Yiqiu was silent, the whole person was like a stone statue, and even his breathing stopped, and after a while, he slowly raised his right foot and left. He held the jug in his hand and held it high, and the rice wine flowed out of the spout and fell into his mouth.
Lu Sanchuan and Su Qing glanced at each other. Both of them know very well: there must be something wrong with such an abnormality.
But Lu Sanchuan didn't dare to rush forward to ask, and looked at Hao Geqiu walking to a tree and sitting against the tree, before he walked to Hao Geqiu and sat down beside him, and asked cautiously, "Master..."
Hao Geqiu didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned his head to the side.
He also knew that he was not interested, so he stopped talking and just meditated.
After all, after holding it in his heart for more than twenty years, Hao Yiqiu still couldn't hold back, although his eyes were still looking at him, his heart was faintly shaken, "Do you know why I'm in this wilderness?"
Lu Sanchuan shook his head, sat upright, and prepared to listen. "I don't know. ”
Hao Geqiu's gaze stretched straight into the distance, looking through it. But he didn't dare to look up, as if he was afraid of something, "I'm afraid of fire." Where there are people, there is fire, so I only dare to live in a place where there is no one. Although this wilderness is far from the people, there is a tavern, and on weekdays, after the guests have left the tavern, I can go into the tavern, eat the rest of the guests' meals, and drink the old wine left by the guests, which is also a good thing. ”
Lu Sanchuan knew that he was in the midst of sad memories and didn't dare to joke with him. After all, it's rude. He just waited quietly for Hao Qiqiu to continue.
Hao Geqiu's eyes suddenly flickered, and he saw a giant dragon spitting flames soaring straight into the sky, covering the sky and the sun. He closed his eyes in fright, turned around and hugged the tree, trembling and sobbing.
Lu Sanchuan was also a little panicked, leaned back slightly, and kept himself away from Hao Qiqiu. But such a wait-and-see is not a way after all, he wanted to comfort Hao Yiqiu a few words, but for unknown reasons, he couldn't speak.
"Master..."
Hearing the human voice, Hao Geqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Despite sweating profusely, he opened his tired eyes, glanced at Lu Sanchuan, and turned to sit upright.
He grabbed his knees and looked down at the ground in a daze for a long time before he spoke, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." ”
Lu Sanchuan said softly, "It's okay." Then he stared at Hao Yiqiu's side face, waiting for him to continue.
Hao Geqiu took a deep breath, raised his hand and touched his face, making himself calmer, after all, the next thing he wanted to say was the scar he would never want to touch, "I... My family..."
Lu Sanchuan already knew what he was going to say, most of which was "my family died in the fire" or something like that. But he didn't want to interject, he didn't want his "little cleverness" to ruin this moment of candid meeting.
That memory was indeed painful and painful for Hao Geqiu, so much so that just thinking about it had already destroyed his heart and hurt his soul. But he also knew that he couldn't live in the shadows for the rest of his life.
There are some things that have to be faced in the end. It has been more than 20 years since he has seen the open fire that frightened him, and now he sees him again, perhaps it is fate.
He took a few more deep breaths, and finally had the courage to open his eyes, but he still didn't dare to look at Lu Sanchuan, for fear that Lu Sanchuan's pupils would reflect the fire of the year.
He only dared to look at the merciless land, "Twenty-three years ago, I was five years old. At that time, I lived in Haojiachong. It was a mountain village of Tongzong, with more than 20 families, and I was the youngest one in Hao Jiachong... Later, a fire burned down Haojiachong... After the fire burned down Hao Jiachong, it also burned the orange mountain clean..."
Lu Sanchuan probably knew that Hao Jiachong was a mountain village under Orange Mountain. "Who set the fire, and has the murderer been found?"
Hao Qiqiu smiled bitterly again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand to stroke his forehead, tears in his eyes, "I was greedy for fun, and I caused the fire by mistake..."
Lu Sanchuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, looking at Hao Geqiu who was hiding his face and crying, not knowing what to say. This injury is too painful, too guilty, no wonder he has been trapped in it for half his life and can't extricate himself.
But Lu Sanchuan also knew that just saying it couldn't change anything, and if he wanted Hao Yiqiu to completely come out of the shadows, he had to muster up the courage to face his fear.
He took out the fold of fire from his bosom and blew it gently, and the faint spark flashed and ignited a slight fire.
He stretched out the folds of fire in front of Hao Geqiu and said softly, "Master, look. ”
Hao Geqiu put down his hand, saw the burning fire folds, and when he was neutral, a thunderbolt flashed in his mind, and then he screamed, grabbed the fire folds, threw them on the ground, and trampled them out with his feet.
