Chapter 19 Wife Contest

Today's eighteenth day of the lunar month is the annual martial arts competition in Cangmang Mountain, and this year has another layer of significance, that is, the real competition between He Bo and Liu Xuewu, one is for the Chunyan girl, and the other is for the honor of face. Today, the He family and the Wang family also made an appointment to marry the Chunyan girl. On this day, He Yongfu's family got up early, and after breakfast, they set off with the preparation of the haode bride price, and today Boer is the groom and the official is going to participate in the big competition, so he needs to recuperate and let him ride on the horse. Ling'er carried the burden of the bride price, and Bo'er's cousins Yu Deshui and Xiang'er also took some things, and followed Bo'er and Ling'er towards Feiyun Valley. He Yongfu and his wife, He Shouyu and Qingju are waiting at home to entertain the guests who are going to eat and drink.

Ling'er and they arrived at the valley and saw that there were already people standing there waiting, and when they got closer, it turned out to be Li San, Chen Youpeng, Zhang Matchmaker, and many people watching the excitement. As soon as he arrived, Chen Youpeng stepped forward with two suona and said with a smile: "Spiritual doctor, how can you do a happy event without suona, let's blow suona together to welcome relatives to add joy." Ling'er and they stopped, listening to Chen Youpeng's words are very reasonable, Ling'er said: "What the teacher said is reasonable. He turned to Xiang'er and said, "Sister Xiang, you carry the burden, and I will blow the suona." Xiang'er took the burden of the bride price, Ling'er took the suona handed over by Chen Youpeng, Chen Youpeng blew a happy and festive tune and walked towards the martial arts field, Ling'er listened to the sound of his blowing, watched the movement of his fingers and blew it with him. Bol and the others followed.

As soon as this suona sounded, it attracted more people to watch the excitement, some men and women, old and young, pointing and discussing, and talking while walking. A young man on the side said, 'You see that the He family really sent the tiger skin. Another middle-aged man smiled and said: "What's so strange about this, the tiger skin family has long been ready, I still eat tiger meat, I heard that this year's competition is also the He family, originally my son also wanted to participate in the competition this year, let's consider it or not, because the He family is determined to win, the tiger family can fight, people must have real kung fu." Another young man said, "Not necessarily, for I heard that the tiger happened to shoot an arrow into the ear." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Haha, how can there be so many coincidences, there are so many hunters in our mountains who happen to shoot tigers, and some of them are injured by tigers." The young man said: "That's right, but Liu Xuewu's strength is not weak." Another said: "Shit, you haven't heard that the friends he brought to the rivers and lakes were beaten and their noses were swollen and half dead." The man said, "I heard that another master has been brought from outside the mountain." This man said: "What's the use of being a master, he can't come to the stage to compete for Liu Xuewu." The man said, "That's right, let's watch the fun." ’

The sound of suona ticked all the way to the competition field. They put the bride price and horses aside, He Shouyu guarded there, and Boer also changed the groom's clothes and changed into a tight short shirt. Before leaving, Yu Deshui said: "Cousin, when you compete, you must be calm and don't panic. Boer said, "Cousin, I know it in my heart, so you can rest assured." Ling'er said: "Brother, don't worry, with Brother Bo's kung fu, he will win the first place." After speaking, Ling'er, Bo'er, and Xiang'er walked towards the competition platform together. Chen Youpeng and Li San also followed to see the excitement.

When the three of them arrived at the competition platform, Boer went to register, because it had long been rumored that He Bo and Liu Xuewu were going to fight for Chunyan girl, so there were very few people who signed up for the competition this year, and only eight people participated in the competition. However, there are more people in the lively area than in previous years, and it goes without saying that there are people doing business there. In fact, they all want to see who He Bo and Liu Xuewu will do, if He Bo wins, the Wang family Chunyan girl will naturally marry the He family, if Liu Xuewu wins, things will be embarrassing, which is also the tangled place in the heart of the excitement.

It was not already eight o'clock in the morning, and Li Feiyun, the host of the host of the conference, announced the start of the competition, and He Bo did not meet Liu Xuewu in the first round of the competition. Liu Xuewu was the first to take the stage, he and a young man in his twenties Ah Niu is an opponent, this Liu Xuewu does have a bit of real kung fu, the two fought against each other on the stage, Liu Xuewu only used three moves and five styles to knock the opponent A Niu off the stage, it was very easy, and the audience was cheering.

The second group came to the stage with He Bo and Li Qiang, who hugged their fists and saluted each other, and then fought with their fists. Although He Bo's kung fu is not bad, it is not easy to fight with his opponent Li Qiang, this is not helpful to fight with ordinary people, the two of them fought back and forth for more than 30 moves before beating the opponent Li Qiang down, and there was only Xi Shao's cheers in the audience.

The other two pairs of players are also difficult to solve, and they all play until eight or nine moves to distinguish the winner, and Zuihou won Ma Rulong and Zhu Sihu. After a short break, the second round of the competition was drawn, and this round He Bo and Liu Xuewu missed becoming opponents again, and it seemed that they could only face off if they went to Zuihou. The people in the audience were even more discussed, and their ideas were different, some wanted Liu Xuewu to be better looking, and some were worried about He Bo, because Liu Xuewu's kung fu was obviously stronger than He Bo.

Chunyan's family also has relatives who are watching the competition, and after watching the first round, they went to Wang's house in time to deliver the news, saying that He Bo is likely not to get the first place, saying that Liu Xuewu's kung fu is too powerful. The whole Wang family was worried, but Chunyan was calm and unworried, because she knew the secret, and she also advised her family not to worry.

In this second round, Liu Xuewu came to the stage first, and the opponent was Ma Rulong, and the two clenched their fists and saluted and said please. The two of them were fists and feet just after three moves and five styles, Ma Rulong was defeated, cheered, and Liu Xuewu walked off the stage with a proud face.

He Bo walked on the competition platform, and Zhu Sihu also followed, and the two hugged their fists and saluted each other, saying please, and then moved their hands. He Bo fought even harder in this round, and he fought more than 50 moves back and forth before beating Zhu Sihu to the audience, and he was also cheering. Although He Bo won, he was tired enough, and he stepped down from the stage and came to Ling'er and Xiang'er. Ling'er stretched out her hand to hold Bo'er's hand and said, 'Brother Bo, you can breathe with your luck. Bo'er hurriedly meditated and breathed, and suddenly felt a warm air flow from the palm of his hand to the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and suddenly felt tired and more energetic.

After a while, the host shouted: 'Zuihou The final round of the competition begins, please come up to the stage and get ready.' Ling'er let go of Bo'er's hand and said, "This time I went to fight Liu Xuewu, as long as I started fighting, just use the offensive move, and I will defend you." Bo'er replied, "I know, Brother Ling, it's all up to you." After saying that, he walked towards the stage, his steps were steady and energetic. Liu Xuewu was already waiting on the stage, and he was also shocked to see Bo'er in such a state, and said: "I can't imagine that this person's physical strength has recovered so quickly, so it is better to be more careful." ’

He Bo and Liu Xuewu stood opposite each other, a foot away from each other, and the two looked at each other hostilely, waiting for the host to shout to start. At this time, I heard the host shouting: "Zuihou has a round of He Bo against Liu Xuewu, start now." As soon as the words fell, the two hugged their fists and said please, Liu Xuewu first made an arrow step to rush over, and the two fought together, and after a few moves, Liu Xuewu punched directly at Boer's face. He Bo didn't pay attention to Liu Xuewu's fist at all, and slashed at Liu Xuewu's face with his own palm. Liu Xuewu was taken aback when he saw it, and said: "This is a two-defeat and injury-based play, if it is really a two-defeat injury, it will be considered my defeat." The thought flashed and hurriedly returned to punch He Bo's palm, but the whole arm that had just returned to the middle of the sudden realization could not move, and his face was slashed by He Bo's palm. Liu Xuewu staggered back a few steps in a daze, and before he could stand firmly, he was punched again, his body took a few steps back to the edge of the stage and swayed, He Bo flew up and kicked Liu Xuewu's chest, and immediately flew off the stage. His friends from the rivers and lakes hurried over to help him up, only to see him with a blue nose, swollen face, and blood spitting from his mouth, and his face full of pain. Zhang said worstly: "Brother Liu, how do you feel. Liu Xuewu said with a bitter face: "It seems that there is still someone secretly helping He Bo, this person is too terrible." The thunder thief said: "Could it be that this master has been following He Bo, and what is the relationship between the He family and him?" At this time, a middle-aged man said: "I am all scared like this, what kind of character is secretly playing ghosts, Xu wants to see it." This person is the later Jianghu people, his name is Xu Zhilin, the Jianghu people are called the thunder hand, he not only has exquisite boxing skills, but also the strength is powerful, ordinary people can not support his punch, he can punch the thick tree of the bowl mouth. Zhang said worstly: "Brother Xu, I think it's better for you not to be strong." Xu Zhilin looked disdainful and sneered: "It's a shame that you have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, so much courage." ’

Liu Xuewu flew off the stage, and the audience was cheering and cheering. Some people say that they really deserve to be heroes who fight tigers, and a very small number of people say that there is no good show to watch in the future. The host walked up to the top with the tiger head card: "This year's tiger head card winner is He Bo from He Jiaao. As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man jumped onto the stage and said, "I'm not convinced, he is someone secretly helping, it's not his real ability at all." At this time, the audience suddenly fell silent, and the host Li Feiyun said: "Who are you, what do you want to do here." The man said, "My friend of Liu Xuewu wants to avenge his grievances." Li Feiyun said: "It's really a gift, this is our own affairs in the mountains, how can outsiders interfere." The man said, 'If you don't let me interfere, you'll be done.' Li Feiyun said: "What do you want?" The man said, "I'm going to try it with this He Gongzi." ’

There was chaos in the audience, and there were many discussions, some saying that how could outsiders participate, which did not break the rules. Is it true that we don't have people in the mountains who can only play at home? Li Feiyun had difficulty making a decision on stage, and said to He Bo: 'He Bo, what do you think. He Bo pondered: "Anyway, with the help of the spirit brother, are you still afraid that you will not succeed?" Thinking of this, when Li Feiyun asked, he didn't care and said: "Those who come will not refuse, and they will accompany them to the end." Li Feiyun heard this and said: "Good boy has the courage, take care of this outsider who doesn't know the sky." Thinking of this, Hahadaxiao said, "Okay, you want to win glory for our mountain people." The audience was cheering: "Down with this outsider, down with this outsider," shouted for a while, and Li Feiyun said: "Everyone be quiet, let's call them to compete now." Suddenly, the audience fell silent, and the two faced each other, and the man said: "My person Xu Zhilin, known as the thunder breaker in the rivers and lakes, please give him advice." As he spoke, his eyes kept scanning around the audience, trying to find out who was secretly helping.

Before Bo'er could answer, Xiang'er jumped onto the stage, walked up to Bo'er and said, "Brother, you're tired of fighting now, let my little sister come to meet this martial arts master." Of course, Boer knew that his sister's kung fu was better than him, and he didn't shirk and said, "Haode, little sister, you have to be more careful." Then he turned and walked off the stage.

The audience was full of exclamations and discussions, and some people said: "It turns out that the girl of the He family is more skillful. Some people also said: 'This girl is also very good at medicine, I don't know if the little doctor knows how to do kung fu.' Someone answered, "That's for sure, and the ingenuity of the little miracle is set above the Bo'er siblings." The man replied: 'Yes, not necessarily. ’

Bo'er went to Ling'er in the audience and whispered: 'Brother Ling, why do you call my little sister up.' Ling'er whispered: "I see that these guys don't know how to do it and deceive people too much, so I asked Xiangmei to go up and teach them a lesson with real kung fu." The two of them were on the lower meditation platform.

On the stage, Xu Zhilin and Xiang'er looked at each other, and Xu Zhilin secretly thought: "Could it be that this little girl is a secret master, I really can't see it, I'll test it first." Thinking of this, he sneered and said, "Girl, report your name quickly." Xiang'er said in a deep voice: "What is the girl's surname Lianxiang, if you have any tricks, just use them." Xu Zhilin sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, you can take a look at me first." After saying that, a single palm was launched, and a powerful palm wind struck Xiang'er, Xiang'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pushed out a palm, the two palms touched, only to hear a bang, both of them were shocked and took three steps back before stabilizing their bodies. It looks like it is overwhelming, but it is still different, although Xiang'er was shocked back, she is still energetic and calm.

Xu Zhilin's face was slightly red and upset, and he was shocked in his heart, and said: "This girl has such profound skills at such a young age, it's really incredible, I have been practicing for decades and is slightly inferior to her, it seems that today is not going to end well." Xu Zhilin didn't see an advantage in terms of skill, so he wanted to use his exquisite palm skills and years of experience in martial arts to find an opportunity. He still wanted to seize the opportunity, and he took the lead in attacking Xiang'er's face, Xiang'er waved his palm to meet but left, it turned out that Xu Zhilin had already changed his palm, and another palm came with a palm to stop the waist, and Xiang'er slashed Xu Zhilin's wrist with a palm. The two have been fighting for more than 30 rounds without winning or losing, and Xiang'er is still beaten in a hurry.

Ling'er in the audience saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly used the method of sound transmission to tell Xiang'er to use the jade spirit palm method to deal with the thunder breaker Xu Zhilin. The audience was stunned, and most of them sweated for Xiang'er.

Xiang'er was in a hurry, when a small voice suddenly said in her ear: "Sister Xiang, you quickly use the jade spirit palm to deal with him." Xiang'er heard that her spirits were lifted, and she immediately used the jade spirit palm, the footwork was light and ingenious, the palm technique was exquisite, the body shape flickered left and right, flicked forward and backward, both palms were patted, pushed, chopped, split, and also sandwiched with acupoint techniques, and he would be saved, Xu Zhilin was dazzled and hurried. Xiang'er attacked more than a dozen moves, all of which were false moves, and when the time was ripe, he set up a killer, pointed at the life point on his waist, and then slapped him on the back, Xu Zhilin rushed forward a few steps and fell to the stage, only to see that he moved a few times but did not get up, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

There was a cheer and cheers in the audience, and I saw Zhang Zhilin and Lei Shan Thief busy running towards the stage, and when they arrived on the stage, they dragged Xu Zhilin off the stage. Liu Xuewu and his gang soon disappeared in the martial arts arena.

At this time, Li Feiyun came to the stage and said: "There is anyone else who is not convinced, although he comes up to show his ability." The audience shouted "He family first", and it took a while to calm down. Li Feiyun said loudly again: "The winner of this year's competition is one by one" Before Li Feiyun finished speaking, Xiang'er said: "Uncle Li, this tiger head card should be my brother's, because they are competing according to the rules, I just came up to teach this person who doesn't know the rules, we can't break the rules in our mountains." Li Feiyun smiled: "What Xiang'er said is reasonable. Then he shouted to the audience, 'Let's see what to do.' The audience said in unison: "What Miss He said is right, just do what Miss He said." Li Feiyun said loudly: "Please He Bo come up to receive the card." Bo'er went to the stage and got the tiger head card, walked off the stage with Xiang'er, and walked towards Yu Deshui with Ling'er.

This year's competition ended early, just at noon to end the game, but the people who watched the excitement were more excited than in previous years, some continued to watch the excitement, some were busy going to eat, some went shopping, in short, the whole competition was very lively.

Ling'er and the others came to Yu Deshui, and saw Chen Youpeng, Li San and Mrs. Zhang also standing here, and they all greeted each other here. Boer changed into a brand-new groom outfit, turned over and sat on the horse, and walked towards Wang Chunyan's house with a smile on his face with a tiger head card in his arms. Mrs. Zhang took Chen Youpeng and Ling'er to walk in front of them with a suona, Xiang'er carried the burden of the bride price, Yu Deshui carried things in the back, and there were many people watching the excitement behind.

After a while, Boer and they came to Wang's house, and the Wang family took the bride price and invited the He family to sit in the house. Relatives and friends of the Wang family came to congratulate the Wang family on finding a good son-in-law.

After lunch, Mrs. Zhang and Ling'er were gossiping, and after a while, Mrs. Zhang said, "It's not early, let's ask the bride to get married." Ling'er said, "Okay, you go and see if they have cleaned up." Mrs. Zhang went to Chunyan's house and saw that Chunyan had already dressed up, and she was very delicate, so she waited to put on her red hijab. She smiled and said, 'I said the bride is okay.' Chunyan said: "It's almost ready, just say a few words to the two of us." Mrs. Zhang came out and said, "Wait a little and you can go." ’

After a while, Chun Yanniang came out and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you can go." Mrs. Zhang went to the room to see the bride, and Ling'er and they went outside the gate to set off firecrackers and blew the suona. The bride was carried by her brother to the gate, Boer picked her up and put her on the horse, sat down, led the horse and followed Ling'er, and Xiang'er and Yu Deshui followed behind with the dowry. The Wang family said goodbye and went back when they were sent to Gukou, and Chen Youpeng stopped the suona and said, "Spiritual doctor, I won't follow me, and the suona will be given to you." Ling'er said, "Teacher, how good is this, why don't you go over and have two glasses of wine." Chen Youpeng said: "I will go back with others tomorrow, thank you again for curing my old problem, it has obviously improved a lot in the past two days." Ling'er said, "I also thank you for teaching me music." Chen Youpeng said goodbye to everyone and went back to the valley.

Ling'er continued to blow the suona and walked towards Hejiaao, and Mrs. Zhang also followed. Halfway down the road, Xiang'er suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Ling, you are always tired of blowing, do you want to take a break, anyway, no one else listens to why you work so hard." Ling'er smiled and said, "Just take a break, Sister Xiang, I'll help you carry the burden." Xiang'er smiled and said, "I'm telling you to rest, not to ask you to carry the burden." Ling'er smiled: "I'm just tired of my mouth and not tired of my body." As he spoke, he took Xiang'er's burden hard, but Xiang'er couldn't take Ling'er, so he had to let him pick it up. Mrs. Zhang looked at it and said with a smile: "Little Divine Doctor, when are we going to drink the wedding wine of you and Xiang'er." Ling'er smiled: "Come on, you just wait." Xiang'er just smiled happily and didn't say anything.

In the evening, Ling'er and the others walked to the stream of Hejia'ao, Ling'er handed the burden to Xiang'er, and blew the suona herself. As soon as the suona sounded, the guests of the He family walked outside the courtyard gate to see, the He family lived alone in the He family pass, and there were not many relatives and friends who came and went, and when the bride arrived at the door, Boer carried the bride into the hall, and the guests also came in.

Boer went to the hall to put the bride down, and the grandparents, He Shouyu and Qingju all sat down and waited for the two to worship in the hall. Bo'er and Chunyan stood in the middle, the guests stood on one side, and Ling'er also stood on the side blowing suona, only to hear the host shouting: 'One worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, the ceremony is completed, and it is sent to the cave room.' Mrs. Zhang and Xiang'er were carried into the cave room, and the suona stopped playing.

Next, the lamp was lit and the banquet was opened, there were not many guests, and the family took out two large tables, and Boer went to the banquet to accompany the wine, and went back to the cave room after accompaniment. The guests are all far away, and they have to rest here at night, and Ling'er and Xiang'er are busy making shops for the guests to sleep and rest. After the guests are resting, the family members clean up the dishes and chopsticks before going to rest.

Time flies like an arrow, and in a flash, it will be March of the following year. Xiang'er also learned to blow the flute, and Ling'er's rhythm has also improved a lot, and she can blow the trilogy of magic sounds outside the sky, retract and release them freely, and effectively control the priority of magic sounds.

On the morning of March 12 on this day, after breakfast, Ling'er and the He family said goodbye one by one, and then knelt down to their grandparents, and their godfathers and godmothers kowtowed. Ling'er burst into tears and said: 'Grandpa, your whole family's great kindness to Ling'er, Ling'er will never forget, and I will come back to you when I avenge my family revenge." Grandpa said, "Ling'er, if you don't have a good time outside, go back to grandpa." Ling'er said: "Ling'er has written it down, grandpa, take care." After speaking, he picked up his burden and walked out of the door, and the He family sent him to the creek before going back, only Xiang'er continued to send it forward.

Xiang'er still didn't want to go back after sending ten miles, Ling'er stood still and didn't leave, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiang, there will be a farewell for sending you a thousand miles, I think you should go back." Xiang'er said angrily: "Brother Ling, are you annoying others. Ling'er smiled and said, "How come, or I won't leave, go back and tell my grandfather that we will get married soon, and we will live in the mountains with you for the rest of my life." Xiang'er Jiao smiled and said: "I know you are angry, if you really want to stay in this mountain for the rest of your life, I am afraid that you will be suffocated to death, I don't want you to go, I just want to see you for a while." Ling'er smiled and said, "Then I'll send you back now, and I can watch it for a while." Xiang'er coquettishly said: "Okay, I want you to carry me away, and you are not allowed to use light work." Ling'er smiled and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you say." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and hugged Xiang'er in his arms, looked at her sweet and delicate face and kissed it.
