Chapter Twenty-Five: The Nine-Fingered Beggar

Ma Chunhua panicked, ran away with Chen Shu on her back, and suddenly saw a small Taoist temple on the side of the mountain road. It is also decayed and dilapidated, and there are some traces of fire, which I think are left behind by the war.

She thought to herself that the bamboo pole was so powerful, she would definitely not be able to run away, so it was better to hide here for a while. carried Chen Shu in on his back, but saw that the room was very dark. Squinted his eyes and walked two steps, and suddenly he tripped over something under his feet, and one stumbled out, almost throwing Chen Shu off his hand and on the ground.

Ma Chunhua hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry. While secretly scolding himself for being stupid, he turned around and couldn't help but be stunned. But he saw a beggar lying on the ground, sleeping soundly, that he tripped himself and fell.

Ma Chunhua is simple-hearted, and he doesn't blame him for tripping up, but he wants people to sleep here, but he was kicked by himself, so he didn't want to go. Clasped his palms together, shook them again and again, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Chen Shu was amused in his heart, but he saw that the beggar had grown up, and his coarse cloth shirt was covered with patches, but he was very clean, and he slept on a pile of hay even when he slept. This shape was obviously not an ordinary beggar, and his heart moved, and he whispered: "Miss Ma, please bend down, and I will take a look at this person's hand." ”

Speaking of the beggars in the Golden Book, the first thing he thought of was the nine-fingered beggar Hong Qigong. It's a bit like this beggar.

Ma Chunhua didn't know what she meant, but she also did what she said, bending down to let Chen Shu take a closer look. Who knew that this beggar actually pressed both hands under him, Chen Shu couldn't help but scratch his head a little. After thinking about it, he laughed in a low voice: "Miss Ma, you wake up this old beggar." ”

Ma Chunhua saw that the beggar didn't seem to be very old, only about forty or fifty years old, how could he call him an old beggar? Chen Shu was preconceived, since he suspected that he was Hong Qigong, he regarded him as an old man.

As soon as she heard that Chen Shu wanted him to wake up the people, she couldn't help but shake her head again and again, and said, "People are sleeping well, we shouldn't be running in and making noise, why do you have to wake him up?"

Chen Shu smiled: "Good girl, you don't know, I naturally have intentions, you just wake him up." ”

Ma Chunhua was very happy when he shouted "good girl", so she called a few times softly. The beggar only snores like thunder, where does he pay attention to her?

Chen Shu said: "You are louder, don't hurry up, the bamboo pole is about to catch up!"

Ma Chunhua shouted a few times in a louder voice, but the beggar still didn't move, Chen Shu smiled: "You go and pinch his nose, I see if he wakes up." ”

Although Ma Chunhua was naΓ―ve, she couldn't wake up when she saw such a loud voice, and she suspected that the beggar was deliberate. As soon as he heard Chen Shu say this, he smiled and really squatted down and pinched the beggar's nose.

The two of them watched each other, it was really strange to say, Ma Chunhua pinched his nose with her hand, and she didn't see his lips open, and she didn't move for a long time. Ma Chunhua yelled strangely, and finally let go of her hand for fear of suffocating others to death.

Chen Shu secretly thought that these masters with profound internal skills, holding their breath was a piece of cake, and it was not strange that they might use other parts to breathe. This person is Hong Qigong, since he refuses to wake up, there is no way. However, if the crane in the cloud chases after it, it can borrow the power of this old-timer. This person is chivalrous and can't stand idly by.

However, since this man deliberately did not wake up, he wanted to wake him up. After thinking about it for a while, whether it is scratching the soles of the feet or scratching the armpits, these methods are useless, and it is not sightful for Ma Chunhua to do these things as a little girl. I thought that Hong Qigong's biggest problem was greed, so he had to start from this.

He coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Miss Ma......"

Ma Chunhua hurriedly said: "Don't call Miss Ma!"

Chen Shu smiled and said, "Don't you call Miss Ma, what's your name, call it a good girl?"

Ma Chunhua's face was slightly red, but she bit her lip and remained silent. Chen Shu saw that she was also very cute, and his heart couldn't help but move. It's a pity that my body can't move, and I can't take advantage of the opportunity.

He smiled and said, "Good girl, let's go back this time, guess what I did first." ”

Ma Chunhua looked outside, for fear that the bamboo pole would catch up, and asked, "What are you doing, I can't guess." ”

Chen Shu thought to himself that you need to guess, just do your best. He said, "The first thing I do is order a lot of delicious food and eat it." For the first dish, I'll order a dish of white-cut mutton. Girl, have you ever eaten white-cut mutton?"

Ma Chunhua shook her head and said, "No." ”

Chen Shu smiled: "Then you have to taste it, I'll tell you." This white-cut mutton, that's really delicious in the world. Its color is fresh and mellow, the meat is fine and tender, not fishy or fat, it is really fragrant and delicious to eat in the mouth, refreshing and palatable. Especially with the green onion white section, balsamic vinegar, sweet sauce, chili oil four-flavor dish, it tastes even more fragrant and unique. ”

Ma Chunhua was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said, "Is it so delicious?"

Chen Shu said: "Of course. The second dish I ordered had to be a chicken called Hua Chicken. Girl, have you ever eaten called Hua Chicken?"

Ma Chunhua said suddenly: "That's not either." I couldn't help but feel inferior, feeling that I was really a useless country girl in front of Chen Shu, stupid and uninformed.

Chen Shu didn't know her careful thoughts, and said with a smile: "This is called turning chicken, and it is also a good dish." First of all, it must be wrapped in wet mud and slowly roasted over a fire. When the mud dries and peels it off, the feathers fall off. The chicken grilled in this way is crispy, tender, crispy, fragrant and delicious. Although the dish is good, it's just a pityβ€”"

Ma Chunhua said strangely: "What is a pity?"

Chen Shu said: "It's a pity that the name of this dish is too bad, no matter how good the taste is, it can only be a mountain flavor wild food, and it can't be served on a regular table." ”

Ma Chunhua blinked her eyes and was about to speak, when she heard a loud voice shouting: "Stinky boy is talking nonsense, be careful to always call you with big ears and brackets! Why is this name bad? Where can I not have a formal table?"

It was the beggar who spoke, he turned over and sat up, his face was full of anger, he glared at Chen Shu and scolded for a while, and said, "You stinky boy has a bad conscience, no wonder you have given people acupoints." If you try your best to trick the old man into waking up, I won't give you an acupuncture. ”

Chen Shu grinned and said, "Don't be surprised that you are old, it is really that the juniors and others have been chased by a bad person, and there is no other way but to ask the seniors to help." ”

The beggar sneered: "Nonsense, the little couple has been flirting here for half a day, where does it seem that someone is chasing? ”

As he spoke, he took out a big red wine gourd, took a big sip, and said hatefully: "No, I can't sleep anymore, I was disturbed by your kid's nonsense." He shook his head and walked out.

Chen Shu called his predecessor twice, but he ignored it and strode away.

Ma Chunhua said: "Brother Chen, let's hide behind the idol, otherwise the villain may catch up." ”

Chen Shu thought that Hong Qigong was chivalrous, and it stands to reason that he would not ignore his two young people who were obviously in trouble, most of them did not go far, and they were still fighting with themselves. He smiled and said, "Okay, bother the girl to carry me up." ”

Ma Chunhua was picking him up, and suddenly the figure flickered, and a tall and thin figure had swept in. But it was the crane in the clouds, I saw that his face was gloomy, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Little girl, let's go with Uncle Yun obediently." As he spoke, he squinted at Chen Shu, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Ma Chunhua took a few steps back and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Chen, you ...... Don't be afraid......" said Chen Shu and put down Chen Shu and stood up in front of him.

Chen Shu couldn't help but be greatly moved in his heart, he didn't expect this girl to be so good to him. Seeing that she was afraid of being like that, and she plucked up the courage to protect herself, did this affection really come from nowhere, just because she helped her twice?

The crane in the cloud laughed strangely, and said in a weird manner: "Wonderful, wonderful, since you like this little white face, I will you in front of him / Let him watch it." This feeling is not bad when you think about it, the little beauty is made to die by me in front of her sweetheart, and it must be very comfortable. ”

Ma Chunhua's face turned pale when she heard this, and she couldn't stop shaking.

The crane in the cloud laughed, stepped forward, and stretched out his palm to grab her. Ma Chunhua screamed, shrank back, and pounced on Chen Shu.

At this moment, Chen Shu suddenly felt that something hit him on the shoulder, and suddenly his whole body was light, he hugged Ma Chunhua and rolled to the side, kissed her soft cheek lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid." ”

Ma Chunhua exclaimed softly, surprised and delighted. Chen Shu jumped up, looked at the crane in the clouds and said, "Stinky bamboo pole, where is that Dao sister, how is it?"

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that he could move, but he knew that this kid's skills were low, so he didn't pay attention to it. He licked his lips with a cruel smile and said, "I have been raped and then killed by Uncle Yun! Your little white face is very pleasing to women, but unfortunately you can't live today!"

Chen Shu didn't know what to do, but he expected that with Hong Qigong by his side, he would definitely not let himself suffer. At the moment, he dodged sideways, pushed his palms indiscriminately, and shouted: "Eighteen palms of the dragon!"

The crane in the cloud sneered, but then felt a powerful palm wind rushing towards him. His face turned pale with horror, and he jumped back desperately on tiptoe. He flipped more than ten somersaults in the air, flew straight out of the door more than ten zhang away, staggered back a few steps, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow". He glanced inside in horror, did not dare to stay any longer, turned around and hurried away.

Ma Chunhua was so happy that she was stupid, and it took a long time before she shouted: "Brother Chen, it turns out that you are so powerful!"

But seeing that Chen Shu's face was pale, her head was drenched in cold sweat, and she looked very painful, so she hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Chen Shu only felt that the pain in his two arms was incomparable, as if countless needles were pricking, and it was really difficult to hold it tightly.

Suddenly, a voice said, "You kid, you are like a ghost, you recognize me at a glance." I thought it was so powerful, but I didn't expect that there was no internal strength at all. That's it, this is also the old call, your arm is going to hurt for a while. But it's still a bit beneficial, the meridians on your arm have been stimulated by the internal force I just now, and they have been smoothed a lot, and it will be of great benefit to cultivate internal strength in the future. ”

It was the old beggar who spoke, who got out from under the offering table beside Chen Shu, holding the wine gourd in his hand and pouring it into his mouth. Ma Chunhua looked so strange, thinking that this person had just walked outside, when did he get here again?

Chen Shu hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue, the seniors must be the 'Nine-Fingered Beggar' Hong Gang Master, the juniors were rude just now, please don't blame the seniors." ”

The beggar waved his hand and said, "That's it, you doll has a lot of ideas, I don't like it." Lao Zhaohua saw that this little girl was very real, so he made a move, and he didn't need you to thank him. ”

This beggar is Hong Qigong, he has been chivalrous all his life, and of course he will not sit idly by and watch the crane in the clouds as evil. Just now he saw Chen Shu there what the ghost called "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending", and on a whim, he poured internal force into his body, and used his palm to send the crane in the clouds. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that Chen Shu had no internal force at all, and this heterogeneous internal force was rushing in the meridians, and naturally there would be sequelae.

He has always been above board, and he felt that he had done something wrong, shook his head, and said: "Little doll, this is my can't help you, if you hurt a lot, just drink two sips of wine." As he spoke, he handed over the gourd.

Although Chen Shu was in severe pain, he had a tough personality and gritted his teeth and refused to scream. Seeing Hong Qigong's apologetic face, he smiled casually: "I don't drink any wine, if you really don't want to go, save me a few sets of martial arts." I don't dislike the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, the dog stick method, etc. ”

Hong Qigong laughed, thinking that this little doll was very interesting, and when he saw that he was pale in pain, he still talked and laughed freely, and he was also a little admired. It's just that the two of them fought, so he naturally refused to admit defeat, and sneered: "Do you still want me to teach you the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Sunflower Treasure Book?"

Chen Shu pretended to be surprised, and said: "I didn't expect Senior Hong to know the Sunflower Treasure Book, that's really amazing, no wonder there is no Little Seven Princes." ”

Although Hong Qigong is a martial arts predecessor and has seen a lot of things, he has never seen the legendary Sunflower Treasure Book, and he doesn't know the conditions for practicing that thing. But when he saw Chen Shu's thief's eyes, he understood a little, and couldn't help laughing. Thinking that he has played red dust all his life, traveled chivalrous world, and looked down on the relationship between men and women, this is the first time that people have been teased about this kind of thing. couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You stinky boy, you were pretending to be respectful just now, but now your true form is revealed, is this the attitude towards the life-saving benefactor?"
