XXIII. Wounded

Song Wanying heard Shangguan Qianye call her sister, and said overjoyedly: "Brother Qianye, you just said that we will talk about it after we get to know each other...... Isn't it?"

Shangguan Qianye smiled, and then hummed. Song Wanying blushed and said, "Brother, I will always wait for you." ”

After that, he ran a few steps embarrassedly, and then turned his head and said, "Brother Qianye, you have to practice hard, I look forward to your performance in the rookie ring." After speaking, he didn't care about his senior brother, and disappeared into the mountains alone.

Shangguan Qianye looked at her departing back and said to herself: "This girl is innocent and cute." ”

At this time, Shangguan Ding was still playing with the man, and Shangguan Qianye said: "Ding'er, don't mess around, come back." When Shangguan Ding heard his brother's call, he shook off the person several times and stood back beside Shangguan Qianye.

When the man saw the Shangguan brothers standing together, he didn't dare to come over, and he was far away by himself, panting.

Shangguan Qianye said: "Let's go back, although it is secluded here, after all, it is too far away from our place of residence, and it is too inconvenient to go back and forth." Maybe your three brothers have already found a place to wait for us at the inn. After saying that, the brothers didn't pay any attention to the man, and went back the way they came.

When the two returned to the inn, they saw that the Zheng brothers were already waiting for them.

Seeing that the two of them came back, Zheng Biao said, "Why did you come back? We have been waiting for you for a while." ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Because we didn't find a suitable place, we kept moving forward, and then we went too far, so we gave up and didn't look for it." So the time was lost. ”

Shangguan Ding said: "It's not entirely because of the long distance that the time was delayed, but my brother had a blind date on the way." ”

Zheng Kui said: "Oh, Brother Qianye, there is such a good thing?"

Shangguan Qianye said: "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense, there is no such thing at all." ”

Shangguan Ding said: "Why not? Sister Song Wanying said that she liked you, and you also said that you would wait until we got to know each other before talking about marriage." ”

Shangguan Qianye shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Zheng Kui listened and said: "Brother Qianye, this is also a good thing, talk about what you are afraid of, it is your own family." ”

Zheng Biao said: "That's it, the third brother, the fifth brother said the girl's name, can there be any mistakes? I don't know where that girl is? What does she do?"

Shangguan Ding said: "That Sister Song is also here to participate in the newcomer competition, she is very beautiful, and she is a good match for my brother." As for where the people are, I really haven't had time to ask. ”

Zheng Kui said: "It's good to be a good match, it's good to be a good match, it doesn't matter where you are from." ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Big brother, there is really no such thing, don't listen to his nonsense." ”

Zheng Kui said: "Third brother, don't be embarrassed. Our own brother knows, what are you afraid of? Since that girl is from the martial arts, it is even better, maybe his master and the old monk of Tieshan still have old friends? The family is beautiful, and you are a good match, isn't it great that you can live together in the future?"

Zheng Biao said: "That's it, that's it." ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "The two elder brothers really don't listen to him nonsense, we just said two words, and we don't know each other yet, even if we really want to be together, it will be in the future, and it's too early to talk about this today." ”

Zheng Kui laughed after hearing this: "Hey, this is like a truth, as long as my brother has this heart, it doesn't matter if I understand it or not, I will have a lot of time in the future." ”

Zheng Biao continued: "Of course, a woman who understands her from birth must be her own sister, and she can't marry her as a wife." Then the crowd laughed again.

Everyone kept chatting about Song Wanying, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

Zheng Kui said: "Why haven't you seen the fourth brother come back after so long?"

Shangguan Qianye said: "Yes, I should come back too." ”

Shangguan Ding continued: "Nothing will happen, right?"

Shangguan Qianye glared and said, "Can you say a little?"

Zheng Biao said: "Third brother, don't talk about him first, Ding'er is not unreasonable, Fourth Brother Geng, as the descendant of the Giant Sword Sect, has been hiding and hiding all these years, the reason why he is like this, there must be a lot of people looking for him." His status is special, it is better for us to go out to meet him, if we can meet the best, if he really has any trouble, we can help him. ”

The three of them all nodded, and then each took his weapon. Before going out, I specially instructed the guys in the store that if he saw Geng Hongjun coming, he must not let him go out again, just wait in the room.

After saying these words, the four of them left the inn and walked in the direction where Geng Hongjun went out.

By this time, it was completely dark, and I could only see human figures, but I could no longer see people's faces. Whenever a person walked over from the opposite side, the four of them would ask, "Fourth Brother Geng, is it you?" Seeing that the other person didn't reply, he knew that it was not, and then continued to move forward. The four of them were walking, and Zheng Biao suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground.

The three of them hurriedly came over to help him up, and Zheng Biao said, "It's so unlucky, something tripped me." After he finished speaking, he walked up to take a look, and said busily: "It seems to be a person." ”

After hearing this, Zheng Kui hurriedly took out the flint and took a photo, and sure enough, it was a person.

Seeing that half of the person's body was covered in blood, Zheng Biao hurriedly put his hand under the person's nose and probed his breath, and then said, "It's still alive." ”

Zheng Kui gently moved the person's head and shone it with fire, although there was blood on his face, but the four of them could see at a glance that it was Geng Hongjun.

The four brothers hurriedly squatted down, and after a long call, Geng Hongjun slowly opened his eyes, saw the four brothers surrounding him, and hurriedly said in a weak voice: "Look if my Tai'a is still there." ”

The four of them searched around for a while, but they didn't see Tai'a Sword. Geng Hongjun said: "It must have been taken away by that person." ”

Zheng Kui said: "Brother Sword is a trivial matter, how do you feel your injuries now?

Geng Hongjun said: "It's okay, it's just that he stabbed him in the left shoulder, had a sword wound in his right arm, and was slashed by him on his left leg." ”

Shangguan Qianye asked, "Fourth brother, who did it?"

Geng Hongjun said: "It's an old man, he claims to be a person from the Proud Sword Gate, he has been following me for a long time, but because you are by my side, he didn't dare to move lightly, today I saw that I came out alone, so he came to grab the sword, and now he must be back to the Proud Sword Gate with the sword." He also said that if Chang Jiuren saw Tai'a, he would definitely let him be the right protector. After I was knocked down by him, he kicked me twice, but I didn't dare to move, he thought I was dead and left. After he left, I wanted to go back to you, but I couldn't move my legs, and after a long time, I probably fainted because of excessive blood loss. ”

When he spoke, Zheng Biao had already taken out the knife wound medicine from his body and dressed it for him.

Zheng Kui said: "Fourth brother, do you see which direction he is going?"

Geng Hongjun pointed with his finger, and then fainted again.

Zheng Kui said: "Second brother, you immediately carry the fourth brother back to the inn to treat his injuries, and the three of us will go to recover Tai'a!" After speaking, he took the lead and ran down the direction of Geng Hongjun's finger, and Brother Shangguan followed closely behind.

Zheng Biao picked up Geng Hongjun alone and ran to the inn.

Zheng Kui and the Shangguan brothers ran not far when they saw a flash of lightning in the sky, followed by an earth-shattering thunder, and in an instant, the raindrops hit the three brothers. The rain became heavier and heavier, and the three of them could not open their eyes.

Zheng Kui turned around and said to the brothers: "It's raining too much, let's avoid it first!"

Shangguan Ding shouted in the heavy rain: "No! The person who injured the fourth brother may be taking shelter from the rain, and we can take this opportunity to catch up with him!"

Zheng Kui saw a thirteen-year-old child say this, and hurriedly said: "Okay! It's my good brother, let's go, let's continue chasing!"

After speaking, the three of them ran forward against the rain. After running forward for twenty or thirty miles, I suddenly saw a temple faintly flashing out of a small hill beside the road.

Shangguan Qianye said: "We came all the way, but the only place to shelter from the rain is this temple, let's go in and see if there is anyone inside." ”

When the three of them came to the temple, it turned out to be an abandoned ancient temple. Before Zheng Kui and Shangguan Qianye could talk, Shangguan Ding jumped on the wall, hung on the wall with one elbow and looked inside, only to see a faint fire flashing in the temple.

Shangguan Ding turned around and said, "There are people inside." ”

Shangguan Qianye said to the two: "Let's find out first, if any passer-by is here to take shelter from the rain, and the three of us rush in rashly with weapons, I'm afraid it will surprise people." ”

Zheng Kui said: "It's okay, if the old thief is really here, it's not too late for us to do it at that time, if it's not him, then we will continue to chase." ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Ding'er, you are young, you go in to shelter from the rain, and ask him where he came from by the way." We watched from the rooftop, and if you recognized him, wrap your arms around him, and then we both came down again. If not, then come out quickly, and we can move on. ”

Shangguan Ding nodded and jumped down from under the wall. Zheng Kui and Shangguan Qianye went around to the back of the temple, flew up to the room, hung upside down on the edge of the room and looked inside. Because the rain was very heavy, even if the two of them made some noises, the people inside could not hear them.

Shangguan Ding jumped off the wall, came to the temple gate, gently pushed the door open, and then shouted, "Is there anyone inside?" With this shout, the fire in the main hall was extinguished at once.

Shangguan Ding entered the door and walked towards the main hall, asking as he walked, "Is there anyone inside?"

I only heard an old voice inside ask, "Who?"

Shangguan Ding said: "It's raining too much outside, can I come in and take shelter from the rain?"

At this time, the door of the main hall was gently opened, and a person looked out through the crack in the door and asked, "Child, are you alone?"

Shangguan Ding said: "Yes, I'm alone." ”

The man said, "Then come in." With that, he turned back and rekindled the fire.

Shangguan Ding entered the room and glanced at the old man, and then said secretly: "It turned out to be the person I met on the road that day, with Sister Song Wanying." Judging by his age, he should be Song Wanying's master. ”

Shangguan Ding said: "Thank you Daxia for taking me here to take shelter from the rain." ”

After hearing this, the old man glared and asked, "How do you know that I am a hero?"

When Shangguan Ding saw him asking, he pretended to be innocent and said: "Old uncle, I saw a sword beside you, you must be a famous chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes." ”

The old man glanced down at his sword, and then smiled: "Little child, you really have good eyesight, yes, I am a chivalrous man." ”

Shangguan Ding said: "Old Uncle Daxia, thank you very much today for letting me come in to shelter from the rain, I don't know what your name is, where you are, I will let my brother thank you in the future." ”

After hearing this, the old man laughed and said, "That's not necessary. Uncle is a member of the Proud Sword Sect, the number one sword sect in the rivers and lakes. ”

The flesh on Shangguan Ding's face jumped after hearing this, but he still stabilized his mind and continued to sit still. And Shangguan Qianye on the roof also shook his body when he heard the three words of Aojianmen, Zheng Kui hurriedly grabbed him and whispered: "Don't worry, wait for him to finish." ”

The old man continued: "I am a disciple of Chang Jiuren, the head of the Proud Sword Sect, who is the leader of the Jianghu Sword Sect, and my name is Ding Jinmu. ”

Zheng Kui thought to himself: "It seems that this Ding Rumu doesn't have any heart, and when he asks him, he will say everything by himself." ”

After hearing this, Shangguan Ding said: "Oh, it turned out to be Ding Daxia." I heard my brother say that the heroes in the rivers and lakes use some treasure weapons that cut gold and jade, but I see that your sword is also very ordinary, it seems that my brother lied to me. ”

Ding Rumu laughed after hearing this: "Child, your brother didn't lie to you, how can a good weapon be shown to others casually, my sword is just an ordinary sword, but in my bag, there is still a ......" Ding Zhumu just said this, and suddenly asked Shangguan Ding sharply: "Doll, it is raining so heavily in the middle of the night, how can you come here alone!"
