Chapter Ninety-Five: The Mysterious Master
Five days later, the two of them could not ride on the main road. During these five days www.biquge.info they did not travel during the day, stopped at night, sometimes stayed at the inn, sometimes camped in the wilderness.
After noon, the sun was blazing. Xue Wanxin, who was riding on horseback, was soaked with sweat and listless, "Let's stop and rest, it's so hot and tired." ”
"We've been on the road for a day, and we can't go to the village or the back of the store, for fear that there will be robbers on the road. Fang Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Hey, I can't. Xue Wanxin fell from his horse to the ground.
Fang Zhong immediately turned over and dismounted, grabbed the reins, and stopped the horse that Xue Wanxin was riding. Then he dragged her to the shade of a tree by the side of the road, and then tied her horse again. took off the water bag from the saddle and walked to Xue Wanxin's side, "Hey, at first glance, it is the child of a rich family, he has not suffered hardship, and his body is too weak." Looking at Xue Wanxin, who was lying on her back on the ground, sweating through her clothes, "I have heat stroke from the sun at such a point." Unscrewed the lid of the water bladder and poured water on her cheek.
"Ahem" Xue Wanxin coughed twice and slowly opened her eyes, "I want to drink water." "I struggled to sit up, but I didn't have the strength to do it.
Fang Zhong put his arms around Xue Wanxin's neck, helped her to sit up straight, and then handed her the water bag.
Xue Wanxin picked up the water bag, gulped and drank a few big sips, was choked, and coughed constantly, "It's so uncomfortable, my mother." ”
Fang Zhong quickly patted him on the back.
"That's a lot. Xue Wanxin returned the water bag to Fang Zhong and said listlessly: "You help me over there." I rested against the trunk of the tree. ”
Fang Zhong picked up Xue Wanxin and walked under the tree. Sit with your back against the trunk of a tree. After more than ten breaths, Xue Wanxin fell asleep, looking very tired. He didn't get bored, and kept watching Xue Wanxin sleep, so he sat down cross-legged beside Xue Wanxin, his eyes slightly closed, and meditated and practiced internal strength.
About an hour passed. Fang Zhong heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Quick, surround these two. ”
Fang Zhong heard a man's voice and opened his eyes. I saw more than a dozen big men in animal skins, standing in front of me. He wields a variety of weapons, including broadswords, scimitars, and spears.
"Hand over all the valuable things on your body, or it will cost you your life. The man in leopard skin scolded sharply, and the big sword in his hand pointed at the square, looking fierce and vicious.
At this time, Xue Wanxin, who was originally asleep with his back against the trunk of the tree, opened his eyes and said, "Who, it's annoying to make me sleep." ”
Fang Zhong looked sideways at Xue Wanxin, who was sleepy, and rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"Ouch, it's a chick. The man in leopard animal skin, the corners of his mouth overflowed with saliva, and he reached out to wipe it, "Little girl, she looks really smart." He turned to raise his voice, "If you obey me, you will eat and drink spicy food in the future." ”
", you deserve it too. Xue Wanxin scolded bitterly, stood up and walked towards the place where the horse was bolted, her body swaying. Retrieve the saber from the saddle "You look for death".
"Personality, chick. The more you are like this, the more energetic I am, uncle. Haha" The man in leopard print continued: "Brothers, do you say yes?" ”
The other men laughed as well.
"Let me tell you, do you see the sword in my hand? That's the standard for martial arts masters. Xue Wanxin felt that the sword was very heavy, and he was directly on the ground as a crutch, and his right hand was supported on the hilt of the sword to support his weak body, and the halberd pointed out, "If you don't get out of here, I will not be polite to my aunt and grandmother." ”
"You think that a person with a sword will be able to do martial arts. Who to scare? Said the man in leopard skin.
Xue Wanxin pulled out the sword blade and pushed forward "Oops, my wrist" The sword blade fell downward, stuck it into the ground, and sprained his wrist.
"Oh, your delicate body is really pitiful. The man in leopard skin teased, "But don't worry." Although I am a big and three coarse, I am also a person who knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. With a big wave of his hand, he gestured, "Catch this chick for me first." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two strong men beside him strode out.
"Don't come here, I'm going to call someone. Xue Wanxin was so frightened that she lost her face and retreated again and again.
"Oops", two strong men, sideways fell to the ground.
The man in leopard skin scolded "It's not promising, I see a beautiful chick." The legs are weak. Then he let out an "oops" and fell sideways to the ground.
More than a dozen strong men behind him burst out laughing.
"Second master, I didn't expect you to have weak thighs. ”
The man in the leopard animal skin immediately turned over and stood up, and shouted sharply, "What's so funny." ”
The laughter of the other strong men came to an abrupt end.
"Who is it? Come out for Lao Tzu, hide your head and show your tail, what kind of hero is you. The man in the leopard skin raised his voice. Bending down and scratching the trouser tube, I saw a bruise on my calf. It seems that he was hit by something and fell to the ground.
Xue Wanxin clapped her hands and applauded, "If you want to bully your aunt and me, it depends on how many catties you have." I have someone to help me. ”
The man in leopard skin looked at Xue Wanxin fiercely, "Say, who threw something and hit me just now." If you don't say it, I'll strip you naked right away. I, Xu Biao, am not easy to mess with. ”
Xue Wanxin took a few steps back, and pointed at Fang Zhong tremblingly, "It's him." ”
Xu Biao glanced at Fang Zhong and said viciously to Xue Wanxin: "Don't tell lies, he is still a little kid, how can he do martial arts." I can do it. He took a few steps forward and stood beside Fang Zhong, "I kill / people without blinking, it's just a trivial matter to strip off your clothes." ”。
"I didn't lie to you, it's really him. Xue Wanxin looked frightened and pointed at Fang Zhong.
Xu Biao slashed horizontally with a knife and slashed towards Fang Zhong's neck.
"Be careful," Xue Wanxin shouted.
"How is that possible?" Xu Biao looked stunned, beads of sweat streaming down his cheeks.
It turned out that when Xu Biao swung the knife out, Fang Zhong stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand and clamped the blade. Xu Biao couldn't pull it out, and in desperation, he had to let go of the handle.
Xue Wanxin's eyes were wide open, her mouth was also wide open, she was stunned, and she stood quietly and still.
"The hero spares his life, the little one knows it's wrong. Xu Biao seemed to be constantly calling with his legs, and his subconscious of survival made him fall to the ground unconsciously.
Fang Zhong was still sitting cross-legged, he didn't move, and smiled sideways, "I didn't say that I wanted to take your dog's life." ”
Xu Biao quickly stood up and ran away. The strong men also fled.
"A robber who specializes in hurting nature and reason, it is also a scourge to leave you in the world. Fang Zhong waved his big hand, and the big knife in his hand flew out.
The big knife that flew out happened to be inserted into Xu Biao's back, only to see him fall to the ground. The group of strong men who fled for their lives glanced at each other and accelerated to escape. After a few breaths, in the middle of the group of strong men, arrows flew out towards the sky. A "bang" exploded in mid-air.
Fang Zhong stood up, turned to look at the stunned Xue Wanxin, and walked in front of him. patted Xue Wanxin's cheek, "Hey, what's going on." I'm scared silly. ”
Xue Wanxin reacted and said blankly: "I'm so bold, I can't scare me." "Fall down from the sky.
Fang Zhong's eyes were quick, and he quickly reached out to stop Xue Wanxin's waist, put her on the ground and lay on her back, and said to himself, "I said I was stupid, and I didn't admit it." He took out the dry food from the package, ate some, and began to sit cross-legged again, looking sideways at Xue Wanxin, thinking, "Hey, it seems that I was scared a lot this time." Just get a good night's sleep before you can hurry. "Close your eyes and continue to practice the inner strength.
In the blink of an eye, he practiced the inner strength of the mind method, and it took two hours.
"Ahem"
Xue Wanxin's coughing sound came into Fang Zhong's ears, and he opened his eyes and said, "You wake up." ”
"How long have I been asleep?" Xue Wanxin looked sleepy and sat up, "I'm so hungry"
Fang Zhong took out the dry food, "Let's eat some first." ”
Xue Wanxin took a big bite of dry food, and after she finished eating, she drank a few more sips of water, "Let's hurry up." There are robbers in the front of the village and no shop in the back. ”
"It's already afternoon, and I can't hurry. Fang Zhong said.
"Why?" Xue Wanxin was a little puzzled, "Didn't you rush to the road at noon?"
Fang Zhong pointed to the distance, Xu Biao's corpse, "When the group of strong men fled just now, they had already fired arrows. That's a signal of contact. ”
"Then what should I do, do you want to spend the night here?" Xue Wanxin said: "There is a dead man over there, I can't sleep." ”
Fang Zhong nodded, "I really want to spend the night here." Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, we are in a hurry to hurry, maybe people will set up a net for Zaimen, no matter how good the martial arts are, it will be difficult to fly. Looking at Xue Wanxin, "If you don't want to be caught by those bandits, just hurry." Anyway, I'm a poor boy, and my life is worthless. ”
Xue Wanxin thought for a moment, and then looked helpless, "It seems that I can only spend the night here, but I'm afraid of the dark." Can you be closer to me at night?"
Fang Zhong took off the thick cloth used for sleeping on the saddle, unfolded it and threw himself on the ground, "The weather is getting cold at night, so you can rest on the cloth." ”
Xue Wanxin walked over to the thick cloth and sat down, "You can also come up here, it's cold on the ground." ”
"I'm used to it, and men and women don't kiss each other. It's better to keep a certain distance. Fang Zhong said disdainfully.
It was getting darker. Xue Wanxin looked up, and her body trembled a few times, "It's dark everywhere, let's make a fire." ”
Fang Zhongzheng said: "No." So the bandits are in the dark, and we are in the light. Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
"Can you sit down a little bit, I'm really scared. Consider it a good deed. Xue Wanxin's tone was full of pleading.
"I can't help it. Fang Zhong moved his body and came to Xue Wanxin's side.
"Can you talk to me? It's so lonely. Xue Wanxin spoke softly.
Fang Zhong was a little impatient, "We didn't light a fire at night, which means that the enemy is in the dark, and we are also in the dark, and they don't dare to act rashly." We're chatting and talking, and the bandits will soon know where we are?"
"Oh"
"What are you doing?" Fang Zhong lowered his voice, and he felt that Xue Wanxin's hand had been placed on his thigh.
"I'm afraid that as soon as I fall asleep, you are afraid. What can I do alone? ”
"But you can't put your hand on my thigh. Fang Zhong moved his body, grabbed Xue Wanxin's hand, and put it on his ankle, "That's okay." ”
"I'm not, I'm excited. ”
Fang Zhong said: "My aunt, count me begging you, okay." Don't talk. ”
"Oh, yes. ”
After a while, I really didn't hear Xue Wanxin speak again. Fang Zhong's eyes were closed and he began to practice the inner strength of the mind. It wasn't until midnight that it stopped. There were several ministers in this company, but there were no enemies to disturb them, because the sky was full of dark clouds, and the stars and the moon were not visible. At home, he still sits cross-legged and sleeps with his eyes closed, but he has always been aware of the movements around him.
Time passed slowly, and finally I stayed up until the early hours of the morning, and the sky was slightly bright. Fang Zhong stretched out his hand and removed Xue Wanxin's hand, "Hey, wake up." ”
"What are you doing" Xue Wanxin, who was lying on her side, was sleepy.
Fang Zhong felt very sleepy, "You watch the movement around you, I want to sleep." So he lay on his side on the ground, and after a while pretended to be asleep. There was still a small snoring sound in his mouth.
"Hey, don't sleep. I haven't woken up yet. Xue Wanxin swayed Fang Zhong's body, but did not react, "You are a lazy pig, you know how to sleep lazy." Xue Wanxin, who was helpless, was worried that she would be caught by the robbers, so she had to rub her eyes a few times, sit up straight, and observe the movements around her at all times.
Fang Zhong squinted silently, and when he saw Xue Wanxin's focused appearance, he snickered in his heart. The terrain around here is flat and the grass is shallow, and if anyone comes close, they will definitely find it. He slept peacefully.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep, the snoring in his mouth was getting louder and louder, and he was really asleep.
"Hey, wake up. Someone's coming. Xue Wanxin shook Fang Zhong's arm vigorously, but still didn't react. I pinched it hard.
"Ouch, it hurts—" Fang Zhong opened his eyes in a daze, and heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Immediately refreshed, the sleep was very peaceful. Looking at Xue Wanxin's anxious appearance, he felt funny. In fact, he really fell asleep, but with such a loud sound of horses' hooves, he would definitely be awakened.
"Oh my God, so many people. What can I do? Xue Wanxin's anxiety and panic increased a little, and she looked at Fang Zhong, her voice trembled, "So many people, have you taken me?"
Fang Zhong responded, "There are at least forty or fifty people, and what is the strength of the other party." I'm not sure without a trick. ”
"What, you're not sure. Xue Wanxin raised her head to the sky and fainted to the ground.
Fang Zhong stretched out his hand to pinch Xue Wanxin's middle school, and after a while, he woke up, "Why did you faint at the critical moment, cheer me up." ”
Xue Wanxin shook her head vigorously, feeling dizzy, "I don't know martial arts, so I can't help you." It's good not to help. ”
Fang Zhong looked anxious, "There are too many robbers, when the big war comes." If I get distracted to protect you, I'm afraid I'll miss. You won't be able to escape, and you'll be living with robbers for the rest of your life. ”
When Xue Wanxin heard this, she immediately lifted her spirits, "What should I do?"
"Let's go to the place where the horses are tethered. Fang Zhong put away the thick cloth on the ground and walked over with Xue Wanxin. Then, Xue Wanxin rode on the horse.
Xue Wanxin asked suspiciously, "You don't want to get on the horse?"
"No, you don't. You ride the horse, and I'll break it so that you won't be caught by the robbers, you know?" Fang Zhong patted the horse that Xue Wanxin was riding, and then jumped onto the horse he was riding.
I saw Xue Wanxin's horse running out quickly. Fang Zhong rode a horse to follow, the reason why he did this, he knew very well that the gang of robbers who ran back yesterday actually dared to come today, presumably not mediocre martial arts.
