Chapter 14: Nine Days of Phoenix Dance (2)
''As I walk down every street here, it seems as if my heart has never been calm, except for the roar of the engineγγγγγγ''
The alarm bell rang, Li Hu came to his senses, opened his eyes, and stared blankly at the ceiling above. Feng Wu Jiutian 'vividly remembered, clearly emerged in his mind, couldn't help but feel a shock to his spirit, quickly got up, performed Feng Wu Jiutian footwork, and walked around the room, his room was about seven or eight square meters, the bed and cabinet and other messy things occupied some space, the space was not very spacious, but he still felt at ease, in the narrow space flickering around, only felt that the fun was endless.

''Bang bang bang. Just when he was interested, Aunt Chen's knock on the door rang out, and Li Hu reluctantly stopped, only feeling radiant and unfinished. When he was washing, he suddenly found that the swelling on his face had disappeared without a trace, and his eyebrows seemed to be a little more heroic than before, and he seemed more and more energetic.
"Could it be that Uncle Chen's bone-setting wine is so effective?" Li Hu touched his chin and blinked, not knowing why. Anyway, it's a good thing, Li Hu didn't bother to think about it, he was very satisfied with his current appearance, and he couldn't help but pop out the words 'beautiful and natural' in his heart.
After getting dressed, Li Hu went out for breakfast, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen were very surprised by the changes in Li Hu, Uncle Chen was naturally not the credit for the bone-setting wine he gave, his face was full of pride, Li Hu did not deny it, it can make an old man happy, why not?
Today is Saturday, and Li Hu only went to work on Monday, so he has a lot of time to do what he wants to do today, but he doesn't know what he wants to do.
Suddenly, the mobile phone vibrated slightly, and a message came in, Li Hu opened it casually, and it turned out to be Ruth's message;
Happiness came too suddenly, Li Hu only felt that the sky was dim, his heart was pounding, he replied excitedly with the word 'OK', and agreed on the meeting place, Li Hu quickly got up and packed up his clothes, and hurriedly said goodbye to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen and walked out.
''Hey, the next child, will you come back for dinner at noon?'' Aunt Chen hurriedly asked.
"No, I won't eat dinner, Aunt Chen, you are very beautiful today, bye-bye." Li Hu's face came in from outside the gate, his face was bright, he winked at Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, and disappeared again in a flash, and the door was closed immediately.
''What's wrong with this kid today?'' Aunt Chen said to herself.
''Cortana, can't you see it?'' He must be in love. Uncle Chen said with a smile, with a secretive smile on his face.
Today the weather is sunny, warm and bustling, there are many pedestrians on the street, although it is still winter, the climate is still very cold, but the girls still wear very little, try to make themselves look slimmer and pretty.
Ruth wore a light yellow winter dress today, which was delicate and elegant, showing the girl's vigor to the fullest. When Li Hu met and hugged, he found that Ruth was wearing very little, maybe the reason why she did this was just to let her beauty bloom at this moment.
Nephrite was in his arms, the fragrance was faintly smelling, Li Hu couldn't help but be smug, and reluctantly let go, Ruth's face was flushed, the corners of her mouth were shy, and her eyes looked around in a panic. The two didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere was awkward and dull.
''Ruth, the Statue of Liberty in New York is famous all over the world, can you take me around it?'' Li Hu was the first to break the silence, he had been fascinated by the Statue of Liberty for a long time, and now that he was in New York, it would be a pity not to take a look.
"Well, the Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island, not far from Manhattan, just a few kilometers away, and we will take the ferry to New York Harbor. Ruth also returned to her natural form and readily agreed.
Because the distance is not far, the two did not take the subway, but walked slowly, while walking, enjoying the scenery of the neighborhoods along the way, talking and laughing, and having endless fun. Li Hu knew that most girls liked to eat snacks, so he took the initiative to buy a lot of snacks, Ruth was not hypocritical, she accepted it happily, she was thirsty, Li Hu also handed over the drink immediately, and the two got along more and more naturally.
After nearly three hours of trekking, the two finally arrived in New York Harbor and boarded the ferry to Liberty Island. In a few moments, the tall Statue of Liberty gradually became clear, holding a torch in its hand, raised high in the air, looking ahead, and in a graceful posture. Li Hu has been fascinated by the Statue of Liberty for a long time, and he is excited to be there at this moment. It was obviously not the first time Ruth had come, but her eyes still had a look of awe, and her face was full of awe and reverence.
After nearly an hour of sailing, the ferry finally docked, Li Hu and Ruth followed the flow of people to Liberty Island, Ruth took Li Hu to the bottom of the Statue of Liberty, entered the interior of the statue, and followed the spiral staircase, the two came to the top of the statue in one breath, looking at the landscape around New York, although it can not be said that it is a glance at the mountains, but Li Hu still feels very shocked.
Walking down the statue of the goddess, Li Hu and Ruth lingered in the nearby scenic spot, where there are many tourists, bustling and crowded. Suddenly, a babbling erhu solo attracted the two of them, and the two walked over to see an elderly Chinese man with gray hair in front of them, his thin and slender hands were pulling the erhu, and a sad and sad voice came out, and many people nearby stopped to watch, their faces were fascinated, and they couldn't help but immerse themselves in the sad atmosphere.
As soon as Li Hu heard it, he knew that this old man was pulling the 'iron-blooded heart' of 'shooting the eagle', the erhu whimpered, he did his best to grieve, the grievances lingered, a hundred turns and thousands of times, the endless grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes, the love of children and daughters, and the endless life was like a dream, Li Hu was stunned when he heard it, and his heart resonated at once, and a kind of chivalrous and tender feelings filled his chest and lingered.
At the end of the old man's song, the sound of whimpering fell to the dust, silent, for a long time, the onlookers woke up like a dream, and suddenly burst into applause, like thunder, many people generously donated money, put the money in a cardboard box in front of the old man, in order to show their appreciation and respect, Li Hu also offered five dollars.
The old man thanked him, and babbled again, but this time he played 'Shanghai Beach', a different tune, what remains unchanged is the heart-wrenching but tactful and low-chanting artistic conception, perhaps, he is not playing the erhu, but life, life for decades, with a flick of his fingers, all kinds of hardships and hardships, glory and wealth, but just a passing cloud. Li Hu carefully felt the artistic conception in it, and couldn't help but have a sour nose and crystal eyes.
Li Hu was immersed in the old man's tear-jerking erhu, unable to extricate himself, and suddenly felt someone gently shake his arm, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Ruth whispering softly in his ear; ββ
Li Hu looked at Ruth's fingers, and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that the three black men were actually at the scene yesterday, and the thin black man started stealing again, and the target was a white girl who was listening to it like a drunken one, shaking in the night, and the thin man had already succeeded.
These blacks were also too rampant, and since he suffered a big loss yesterday, Li Hu was immediately furious, and immediately pointed at the other party and shouted, "Stop, catch the thief." ββ
Everyone came to their senses at once, and the white girl realized that she had lost her purse, and screamed, and the black men hurriedly ran away, and Li Hu rushed over with an arrow, stopped them, and shouted, "Stop, return your purse to the girl, hurry." ββ
The black men were annoyed, but there were many onlookers next to them, and they knew that they couldn't provoke the anger of the public, so the thin black man stupidly threw the girl's wallet on the ground, and several people glared at Li Hu fiercely, and ran away in a panic.
The white girl picked up her wallet and thanked Li Hu, Li Hu nodded, and was so disturbed by those blacks that she had no interest in playing, so she discussed with Ruth, and the two decided to go back.
The two took the ferry to New York Harbor and were walking, when they soon realized that something was wrong, and when they turned around, they saw that the blacks were following the man himself. Several black people had fierce eyes and fierce expressions, Li Hu knew that he and Ruth had destroyed other people's ways of making money twice, and if he cut off other people's money, others would probably cut off his own way of life, it can be said that the matter is very serious, and he and Ruth have been hated by them, and I am afraid that they will not be good. Although it is broad daylight now, and there are people coming and going, the security situation here is not as good as that in China, and I am afraid that I will have to run away.
Ruth's face was pale, her eyes were flustered, she grabbed Li Hu's hand tightly, her heart was like a mirror, there was no police nearby, knowing that her situation was extremely dangerous, her body couldn't help but tremble.
''Ruth, run. Li Hu shouted suddenly, pulled Ruth and ran wildly, Ruth screamed, followed Li Hu to turn around and run, the black man behind was stunned, and then chased after him. People chased each other in the streets, and pedestrians on the road looked sideways, but no one stopped or helped.
In the middle of running, suddenly Ruth screamed, her feet were weak, and she fell to the ground, Li Hu had already rushed out of the distance, and when she saw this, she hurriedly ran back, and quickly helped Ruth up, seeing that the black man was about to catch up, she was in a hurry and shouted, "Go, Ruth." But I saw that Ruth had a pained expression on her face, and her eyes were full of tears, and she cried; ββ
It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, Li Hu gritted his teeth, immediately made a decision, immediately squatted down, put Ruth on his back, and glanced at the corner of his eye, only to see a black man had already pounced, and hurriedly dodged to the side and dodged, but just such a burden, the other two black people also arrived, and the three of them surrounded Li Hu and Ruth.
''Fake, you two dogs and men and women, you are always bad for us, and I must teach you a lesson. The tall black man on the left said viciously, pulling out a dagger from his pocket, the blade of which glistened in the sunlight.
Li Hu and Ruth both involuntarily showed fear, Ruth trembled all over, and said bitterly, "Li, leave me alone, you go quickly." ββ
Li Hu's eyes widened, he was engrossed in his guard, and said firmly, "No, Ruth, I will never leave you and run away alone, we will definitely be fine." ββ
The black man on the left sneered, pounced on it, and stabbed out with the dagger in his hand. Between the lightning and flint, Li Hu took a deep breath, and the footwork of the Phoenix Dance Nine Days appeared in his mind like lightning, and he showed it without thinking, and he dodged the other party's fierce knife in a thrilling way, the black man roared, the knife flashed, and stabbed out several knives one after another, all of which were avoided by Li Hu without danger, and the other two looked at each other, also pulled out their daggers, and joined the battle group, and the situation was quite unfavorable to Li Hu and Ruth.
Li Hu watched the flashing of the swords of several people on the other side, and he couldn't help but feel scared in his heart, but he had no way out, so he had to grit his teeth and use his strength to perform the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Footwork.
Li Hu carried Ruth on his back, his movement was not very convenient, and he was slightly clumsy, but his figure was interspersed with the blades of the three black men, and he dodged every time he was in the middle of it, causing Ruth to scream again and again, lying tightly on Li Hu's back, not daring to move.
The three black men were panting, their faces were getting more and more ugly, and their shots were becoming more and more fierce, Li Hu did not dare to slack off, and he performed the Phoenix Dance for nine days without distraction, his footwork became more and more proficient, and he stepped out with a sudden foot, getting out of the encirclement of the three black people, Li Hu was overjoyed, and ran desperately towards the front, and when he glanced back, he saw that the other party was chasing after him in annoyance.
In the surprised gaze of others, Li Hu ran with Ruth on his back, and gradually felt that his strength was exhausted, and he was shortened by the other party, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and suddenly his heart moved, and he secretly adjusted his breath, and imagined that the breath in the dantian was full and flowing, but to his disappointment, the more anxious he was, the more empty the dantian was.
A black man with long legs took a sharp step, grabbed his big black and yellow hand forward, Ruth just turned around, screamed, and naturally slapped his right hand back, blocking the opponent's hand.
''Lee, hurry up, they're catching up.'' Ruth said tremblingly.
Li Hu didn't answer, gritted his teeth, his face was flushed, he moved desperately, and suddenly his lower abdomen throbbed, and a breath appeared silently in the dantian.
Li Hu's breathing gradually became longer, and his strength seemed to be gradually recovering, feeling that Ruth was getting lighter and lighter, and the wind was blowing under his feet, slowly widening the distance between him and the black man. Ruth sensitively felt that Li Hu was running faster and faster, and said in surprise: "Li, come on." ββ
