Chapter 144: Reward
Zhang Xiaohua hesitated, took out his beloved little sword from his arms, and handed it to Yu Lao.
Yu Lao stretched out his hand to take it, but he also felt a sinking in his hand, and couldn't help frowning, when he looked at this ordinary small sword carefully, he didn't find anything special, and even he entered the internal force, hoping to find something, but unfortunately he didn't have the ability to use the sword like Li Jian, and the small sword didn't react, it seemed that in addition to being heavy, this little sword was a toy.
Yu Lao shook his head, still looked left and right, and did not return it to Zhang Xiaohua, wanting to find something mysterious from it.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Yu Lao with blank eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Yu Lao, you don't want to pay me back, do you?"
Yu Lao glanced at Zhang Xiaohua and said with a smile: "Yes, this toy is really good, even the iron cloth shirt of the man in black can be pierced, of course I want to keep it for fun." ”
Zhang Xiaohua shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "Since Yu Lao likes it, I also want to give it to you, alas, it's a pity, when I was rescued, I didn't have anything to thank others, so I gave this little sword away, and now even if I want to give it to you, I can't do it." ”
Yu Lao glared at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Who are you getting? Don't play tricks, I'm not going to ask for anything from you. ”
At this time, Ou Yan also stepped forward and asked curiously, "This is what stabbed the man in black to death?"
He Tianshu also walked to the front and said, "Yes, it is this little sword, the wound should be the same as the throat of the old man in black, and it was also given by someone when I bought the steel sword." ”
Ou Yan wanted to take it and take a closer look, but Yu Lao said: "Don't take it yourself, although this little sword looks like a toy, it is not light, I still take it, you can take it carefully." ”
Ou Yan was as good as a stream, only came to the small sword, frowned and looked at it, but also puzzled, and said: "Although I have a limited physique and can't practice martial arts, I have read a lot of books, but I have never heard of any record of this kind of divine weapon. ”
Yu Lao stretched out his hand and touched the tip of the small sword a few times, and was even more surprised, and said: "This little sword is clearly not open, how can it pierce the body?"
He Tianshu also said: "Yes, when I saw the wound of the man in black, I also had this idea, the sword was given to Zhang Xiaohua by me, and I also remember that there was no opening." ”
Yu Lao thought for a while, turned his head and asked Zhang Xiaohua: "You really used this little sword to kill the man in black?"
Zhang Xiaohua nodded helplessly again and gave a positive answer.
Yu Lao threw the little sword to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "That's it, Zhang Xiaohua, you stabbed me with a sword, just like you stabbed the man in black at that time." ”
When Zhang Xiaohua and the others heard this, they were shocked, and said in unison: "This matter is not appropriate!"
Ou Yan said: "Old Yu, why do you have to be so serious? Just know that it is this little sword that makes a contribution, you don't have to see its power." ”
Zhang Xiaohua also shook her head and said: "Old Yu, let's not say that the atmosphere is different from that time, I have long forgotten how to use the sword moves that day, and if I accidentally hurt you, I really can't afford it." ”
He Tianshu also dissuaded: "Old Yu, if the junior says something inappropriate, the martial arts of the man in black may not be as powerful as your old man, but the kung fu of the iron cloth shirt is indeed first-class, and Changge's sword can't pierce it, do you think you can let Changge stab his body with a sword with his bare hands without being injured?"
Yu Lao thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Xiaohua's sword move was taught by me, and I am naturally happy to make a contribution on a rainy night, but the power of this sword move is beyond my expectations, I really want to know the reason." ”
Everyone still shook their heads, and then Qiu Tong interjected: "Otherwise, Old Yu, let Zhang Xiaohua still use his sword moves, but how about letting him use half of his strength? ”
Except for Zhang Xiaohua, everyone else showed an expression of approval.
To tell the truth, when Zhang Xiaohua practiced this sword move, he never thought of feeding the move with others, the angle of this sword move is tricky, and the appearance of the warm current is not something he can control, as long as the speed is fixed, it will appear, the power of that force, Zhang Xiaohua has experience, he estimates that Yu Lao may not be able to catch it.
But if he really said that, he would definitely offend Yu Lao greatly, he had just practiced for so many months, how could he be proud of his tail to the sky?
There is also a question, if it is as Qiu Tong said, how can half of the strength be used? His left hand is used to the speed of that sword move, as long as the speed is up, even if the strength is used half, the warm current will still appear, and the power of the small sword will not be reduced, and this risk is not willing to try.
Zhang Xiaohua was about to shake her head against it, when her eyes suddenly lit up, she thought of a way, and said with a smile: "Haode, then according to what Sister Qiutong said, I use half of my strength, how about you take my trick and try it?" ”
Yu Lao smiled: "Haode, just try this trick." ”
After speaking, Yu Lao went out first, and everyone also poured out, only Zhang Xiaohua walked in Zuihou with a bitter face.
In the middle of the courtyard is a fairly wide path.
Yu Lao and Zhang Xiaohua stood opposite each other, and Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Yu Lao, you are ready, I will start." ”
Yu Lao smiled: "Okay, you can do it, I'll continue here." ”
Zhang Xiaohua was still not at ease, and asked again: "Old Yu, do you really let me do it and don't think about it anymore?"
Yu Lao scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, do it, I taught you that sword move, what can I be afraid of you?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua crossed his right hand and shouted: "Look at the move." Holding the small sword in his right hand, he performed the sword move of assassinating the old man in black that day, and the small sword stabbed at Yu Lao's throat from a mysterious angle like a meteor.
To tell the truth, this sword move is powerful, He Tianshu who was watching next to him was a little surprised, he had never seen Zhang Xiaohua practice swords before, but when I saw it today, this sword move was really skillful, the angle, strength, and almost impeccable handling, and I couldn't help but sweat for Yu Lao in my heart.
But Yu Lao was calm, jokes, this sword move was originally handed over to Zhang Xiaohua by him, the changes in the sword move, the piercing angle of the small sword, and the trajectory of the movement, he had already known it, and before the little sword was approaching, his body reacted naturally.
Waiting for the small sword to stab in front of him, Yu Lao just leaned forward empty-handed, and grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's wrist, if the enemy grabbed his wrist at this time, Zhang Xiaohua would definitely struggle with his luck, but now it was a test move, he naturally stopped, looked at Yu Lao, and saw what he could do.
Yu Lao was also depressed, and said, "Is this the assassination trick? ”
Zhang Xiaohua said: "That's it, I'm sure." ”
Yu Lao looked at the others, He Tianshu didn't look very carefully because he was far away that night, and he couldn't be sure, Ou Yan and Qiu Tong, they were in an emergency, where did they notice this?
Seeing that everyone was not sure, Yu Lao let go of his hand and said, "Then you can try other changes." ”
Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to take the small sword and use the changes of the moves he learned with his right hand one by one, but in the end, he was grabbed by Yu Lao's one-armed man.
Yu Lao was still dissatisfied, and said, "What if you use all your strength?"
When everyone heard this, they still objected, but Zhang Xiaohua thought in her heart: "If you use your right hand, it is estimated that you can catch it with all your strength." ”
Yu Lao said depressedly: "If you don't use all your strength, we don't know the power of this sword." ”
He Tianshu smiled: "It's not easy? ”
Yu Lao smiled: "Haha, He Tianshu is telling the truth, I have drilled the horns of the bull, come, try the big tree." ”
In the corner of the courtyard, there is a big tree with two people hugging each other, Yu Lao walked under the tree, and said to Ou Yan with a smile: "Owner, how about you experiment on this tree?"
Ou Yan smiled: "But you can't try, just don't kill it." ”
Yu Lao turned his head to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you stab this big tree with all your strength." ”
Zhang Xiaohua scolded for a while: "This big tree is also life, why don't you have any love to protect the environment, I don't even want to hurt the flowers and plants when I practice swords on weekdays, but you instructed me to do such a bad thing." ”
Zhang Xiaohua walked under the big tree, it was still the change of the move, and he used all his strength to stab at the big tree, Zhang Xiaohua's strength of five hundred catties in one arm was not given in vain, so he heard a "flutter" sound, and stabbed the iron rod-like sword into the big tree for more than three or four inches.
Although this achievement is very impressive, Yu Lao is not satisfied, the sharp tip of the sword can also cause such an effect, but the tip of Changge's sword did not break the iron cloth shirt of the old man in black.
So, he wanted to pass the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua's hand again, and he did it himself, held the small sword hard, and stabbed it towards the big tree, "pounced", and the sword pierced into the big tree, deep into the length of a small sword, which was no different from an ordinary iron rod.
Yu Lao took out his small sword, looked at the small shallow pit on the big tree, didn't say anything, turned his head to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, your strength is not small, I can't stab you as deep." ”
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Don't dare, old Yu, I'm still young." ”
This trick was tried many times, but there was no satisfactory result, so everyone used their superhuman imagination to attribute Zhang Xiaohua's success in assassinating the old man in black to carelessness.
It must be that the old man in black saw Zhang Xiaohua's small sword as thick as an iron rod, and did not attract people's attention, thinking that Zhang Xiaohua did not know any martial arts, so he did not have any skills to resist, but only used his palm to block, but when he found that Zhang Xiaohua's arm had superhuman strength, it was too late to exercise, and the throat of the old man in black may be the cover door of the iron cloth shirt, which was easily injured, and was hit by Zhang Xiaohua's small sword, and immediately hit the vital point and broke the iron cloth shirt.
After everyone's deliberation, they came to such a conclusion, and everyone thought that it was the truth, why? Look at the dead expression of the old man in black, don't you know?
Carelessness kills people.
The devil is in the details.
Now that there is a conclusion, everyone will no longer discuss this topic, everyone returned to the hall, Yu Lao returned the little sword to Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua carefully hid it in his arms, and deliberately sat at a short distance from Yu Lao.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Zhang Xiaohua suddenly remembered something and asked Ou Yan: "Sister Ou, I have a question for you." ”
Ou Yanqi said: "What's the matter, Xiaohua, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Let's have any subsidies for us to go far away?" Zhang Xiaohua asked weakly: "Or, after I was injured, during the time I left you, did we have any subsidies for food and lodging every day?"
Ou Yan was shocked, looked at each other with Qiu Tong, and said, "Xiaohua, what do you mean by this?
Zhang Xiaohua blushed and said that Luo Da Dart of the Lotus Dart Bureau asked Zhang Xiaohu for living expenses, Ou Yan's face turned white, and she was about to speak, Qiu Tong preemptively said: "Miss, don't be angry, I'll deal with this matter, and when I have time, I'll go to the Dart Bureau to find Fourth Master Wen and explain the matter clearly." ”
Ou Yan let out a sigh of relief and said, "Haode, I don't have to worry about your affairs." ”
Then, he said to Zhang Xiaohua with a smile: "Xiaohua, you don't have to worry about this matter, we will deal with it." ”
Zhang Xiaohua let out a long sigh of relief and said: "My second brother doesn't have much money per month, if he pays me for room and board, it is estimated that this trip will be in vain." ”
Dizzy~ He forgot about a bunch of money bags?!
When Ou Yan heard this, she also remembered something, and said to Zhang Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, you wait a minute. ”
After speaking, he went out, and after a while, he came back with a small wooden box, handed it to Zhang Xiaohua and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, this was prepared for you some time ago, and now that you are back, I will give it to you." ”
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, hesitated for a moment, took it, opened it casually, and all of a sudden, it became a copy of Zhang Xiaohu last night, and asked in surprise: "Sister Ou, so many silver tickets?"
Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's surprised appearance, everyone was smiling, and Qiu Tong explained: "This is the pension for your death." It was personally designated by the Ou Da gang leader of our ethereal faction, and it was originally three hundred taels, but the Ou Da gang leader felt that it was less, so he directly added it to five thousand taels, and our young lady still felt that it was less, so she took out five thousand taels from the villa and made up a whole number for your family. ”
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the silver ticket, blinked and said, "I never thought I could be worth so much silver." This silver is taller than mine, heavier than me. ”
Everyone laughed and said, "That's for sure!"
Zhang Xiaohua thought about it, closed the wooden box again, returned it to Ou Yan, and said: "Sister Ou, you treat me so well, in my heart you are the same as my former Sister Qianqian, I will naturally stand up when you are in danger, just like saving my family, besides, I don't have anything to do, and I am not 'dedicated', so I can't take this silver." ”
Zhang Xiaohua's actions were beyond Ou Yan's expectations, and she asked in disbelief: "Xiaohua, this is 10,000 taels of silver, you really don't want it?"
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Sister Ou, to be honest, don't say 10,000 taels of silver, I haven't seen 10,000 taels of silver, but this is the pension you gave, if I really die, maybe I can give it to my family, but now I'm not a good haode, I naturally can't accept it." ”
Ou Yan thought for a while and said, "That's it, how can I say that you saved my life, your sister Ou's life is honest, it is very expensive, far more than these silver, how about these silver tickets as a thank you gift from me?"
Zhang Xiaohua still refused, and said: "Sister Ou, didn't you say it just now, I saved you like saving my own family, do you say that my family can give me silver?"
One wants to send, the other doesn't receive, so push back and forth for a long time, helplessly, Zhang Xiaohua opened the small wooden box again, and said: "Sister Ou, let's do it, I have received your wishes." ”
After speaking, he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from the wooden box, put it in his arms, and then said: "The weight of this hundred taels of silver in my mind is the same as the weight of ten thousand taels of silver in Sister Ou's heart, and if I receive this one hundred taels, it means that I have received ten thousand taels in Sister Ou's heart, do you think it's okay?"
Ou Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, you really have a lot of ghost ideas, okay, since that's the case, my sister won't force you anymore, but you have to remember that you just said that you will treat me as your family, then I will treat you as a family member in the future, I hope you will really treat me as your sister in the future." ”
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was very happy and said, "Sister Ou, with you, the owner's sister, I really can't ask for it." ”
When Ou Yan heard this, her eyes rolled, and she also smiled: "Just know, my sister will not treat you badly in the future." ”
Subsequently, he said to Qiu Tong: "Go back and talk to the account office of the villa, Xiaohua's monthly money is ...... every month."
Ou Yan thought about it, and didn't say a specific number, Qiu Tong knew that Ou Yan didn't know the amount of monthly money distributed in the villa, and said with a smile: "This young lady doesn't have to worry about it, since Xiaohua is in our villa, he won't be short of his silver in the future, I think let's give him three taels of silver a month first, anyway, his food and clothing are in the villa, and he is only pocket money, even if it is for the family, it is enough, too much is not haode." ”
When Zhang Xiaohua heard that the money had increased tenfold this month, she was naturally happy, and Ou Yan saw that Zhang Xiaohua was happy, but she didn't have any opinion and agreed. Then he said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, what do you want to do in the villa in the future? ”
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "I'll still follow Captain He, one can learn boxing, the other can learn the cultivation of medicinal herbs, and I can also help my sister solve some difficulties." ”
Ou Yan smiled: "Could it be that Xiaohua still thinks about her sister, then let it be you." ”
Then he said to He Tianshu: "After that, it is still troublesome for Captain He to take Xiaohua well, and his actions will not be too restricted, let him read if he wants to read, and let him practice boxing if he wants to practice boxing, do you think it?"
He Tianshu said with a smile: "According to the owner's wishes, Zhang Xiaohua is a very haode child, so she doesn't need me to take care of it." ”
Yu Lao also smiled: "Zhang Xiaohua's boxing practice is also top-notch hard, it is indeed good." ”
Everyone's praise made Zhang Xiaohua very uncomfortable, he scratched his head, and said helplessly: "Do I really have to be so good? Why did I never find out?"
As he spoke, he heard his stomach rumbling.
Zhang Xiaohua blushed again and said, "Sister Ou, it's been a morning, do you still have breakfast? I haven't eaten the food in the villa for a long time, and I really think about it." ”
Everyone laughed.
