Chapter 15: The Maiden
In the afternoon of this day, Sheng Zuoyu took Haibao to the racecourse in the suburbs. The two practiced horse archery, horse fighting, and various horse riding postures. Saint Zuoyu is much more proficient in riding than Haibao, constantly showing various postures, Haibao carefully notes them one by one, and practices them. After practicing riding, the two of them beat their horses and galloped wildly, the wind blew their clothes flying, the two of them chased after me, free and easy, and there seemed to be only these two young men in their prime left in the world. It wasn't until the two horses they were riding fell to the ground from exhaustion that they took them away.
Saint Zuoyu said: "I had a really good time today, Haibao will play with me more in the future." I'm in for dinner. As he spoke, he raised his hand and beckoned the stables in exchange for two horses, and the two rode all the way to the city, and it was already dusk, and the streets were brightly lit, silently showing the wealth and prosperity of the city.
Saint Zuoyu was in front and led Haibao to a restaurant. Under the eaves of the carved beams and paintings, three gilded characters are very eye-catching against the backdrop of the red lanterns: Delicious Residence.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, a runner came over to lead the horse. The two walked into the restaurant.
I saw that the inside was richly decorated, and it was full of guests who were eating and drinking. The sound of shouting and punching mixed with laughter made people frown.
Immediately, someone who ran the hall came over and said, "The two masters are upstairs, please!" Saint Zuoyu went upstairs with his familiarity, and Haibao also followed.
The second floor is elegantly furnished, and there are few guests. Haibao followed Saint Zuoyu and sat down in a window seat, looking up at the surroundings.
I saw three men sitting in the middle, one tall and fat, unkempt, one looking rude, and the other short, with a pointed beak and cheeks, and very annoying in appearance. The rest of the one is fair-skinned and younger, although he is not very handsome, but he looks very elegant, and under the backdrop of those two, it makes people feel good.
At the very edge of the table sat a young girl with a large black wide-brimmed hat on her head, and the black slayer of the hat covered the woman's face. Haibao felt that the woman's figure was somewhat familiar, but she didn't know where she had seen it. Somehow, although she sat in the most inconspicuous corner, the attraction emanating from her body made Hypertherm look twice.
For no reason, I felt that she was a little familiar.
In addition, there are several tables where several people are seated, and although they are dressed luxuriously, they are nothing special.
With just one glance, Hypertherm secretly took a look at all the guests on the second floor. He had no other intentions, but somehow, he suddenly had a keen sense, and when he arrived in an unfamiliar environment, he unconsciously saw the surrounding situation clearly, which may be related to his recent martial arts training.
The two ordered food and waited while drinking tea. The second floor was quieter, everyone ate and drank separately, only the three people at the table in the middle were talking about something, and the voice was louder.
"I heard that the people from Lingshan have arrived in Yunzhou City, and I don't know what those fairy-like people are doing in our mortal world. It was the voice of the tall fat man.
As soon as he heard them talk about Lingshan, Haibao suddenly pricked up his ears, because he always remembered the entrustment of the 100-day trip to bring a letter to Qiu Lichuan in Lingshan, so he was extra attentive when he heard the news about Lingshan.
"I wonder if those people are as powerful as the legend says?" asked the thin man.
"Of course, Lingshan's reputation is not blown!" said the tall man.
"It is said that the female disciples there are all very good-looking, I don't know if it's true, if only you could see and touch it!" said the short and thin man, his tone very obscene.
"The heaven and earth there raise people, it is said that they will practice peerless martial arts, so that their faces will not grow old, and their youth will last forever, so they should all be stunning beauties!" said the tall fat man.
Hugh said nonsense. Blasphemy the gods, beware of retribution!" said the elegant man who had been silent.
"Haha, Xiao Wu, how can it be so evil, you are just bluffed by the reputation of Lingshan. No matter how outstanding they are, they are just mortals, like us, they have to eat, drink, and Lazar, and no one is immune to vulgarity, haha......"
That little five said coldly: "That's not necessarily. The world is unpredictable, the wall has ears, maybe your words will be listened to by the people of Lingshan, and in the end you don't understand how to die. ”
The short and thin man looked around and said, "What are you afraid of, haven't you heard that the girls on Lingshan have all gone down the mountain to sing in the Qinglou?"
Xiao Wudao: "I've heard that there is a new dancing girl in Xiangxue Building, what is it called 'Yi'er', but most of it is not true." How could the girl from Lingshan do such a thing? Probably the Qinglou deliberately released such words in order to win over the guests. ”
The short and thin man said: "What kind of queen does the Qinglou have to dare to do such a thing? Aren't they all dying? Forget it, those bad things have nothing to do with us, I want to see how beautiful this girl in clothes is." ”
The tall fat man clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay." But you can't go with Xiao Wu. You said that if Xiao Wu went, would the girl still look at the two of us?"
Xiao Wu said: "Second Senior Brother is really clever in this regard!"
The tall fat man ignored his sarcastic tone, and laughed: "Senior brother, I am not very clever in any way?" haha......
The short and thin man said: "Xiao Wu, don't pay attention to him, anyway, he brags about not filing taxes, let him blow it." ”
Hypertherm immediately recognized the three men who were the same shameless people he had beaten into the water last night.
The three men were talking loudly, not noticing Haibao at all.
The three of them were talking lively, when the female guest sitting in the corner stood up, put a silver ingot on the table, and turned away. The three seemed to sense something, and the conversation immediately stopped. The woman had just taken two steps when a gust of wind suddenly lifted the black veil that covered her face, and then fell again. Just this glance surprised Haibao, and at the same time felt that a delicate string in his heart was gently plucked, and his face felt a burning feeling. The delicate face that suddenly appeared was so beautiful! It was so beautiful that it was not like all in the world, so beautiful that people forgot to breathe in an instant. The girl's face was as pure as snow, her skin was smooth and tender, and her expression was quiet and charming, which reminded people of the hibiscus that was about to bloom in the clear water.
Everyone present seemed to be swayed by this soul-stirring beauty, and for a moment it was so quiet that only the sound of the girl's dress swaying lightly remained. As if nothing had happened, the girl walked on her own, turned the stairs, and drifted away.
The three men immediately put down their glasses, winked at each other, and left together. It was clear that they were following the girl.
Hai Bao's heart tightened, and he and Saint Zuo Yu stood up in unison, glanced at each other, and left quietly.
The three men in front followed the stunning girl, and Haibao and Shengzuo Yu followed the three men, preparing to stage a good show of "praying mantis fluttering cicadas, yellow finches behind".
The girl didn't realize that there was someone behind her, and walked straight forward, with a light gait. Walking out of the bustling street, I suddenly turned around and walked towards a sparsely populated place. Hypertherm felt anxious. Originally, a beautiful woman was targeted by three big perverts and didn't know it, and she had to go to the wilderness, didn't she throw herself into the net?
I saw the girl walking straight forward. In front of it is a mass grave hill, in the dim moonlight, you can see a raised grave bag, twilight four, outlining the shadow of the grass in the grave, there are dots of ghost fire in the grass flickering. From time to time, the terrible cries of the night owls came, which made the surroundings even more eerie.
At this time, I saw that the three men suddenly quickened their pace together, and in an instant, they leaped in front of the girl, and crossed the already narrow path.
Haibao and Saint Zuo Yu hurriedly lowered themselves and disappeared in the grass.
When the girl saw someone in front of her, she turned around and walked back, and when she saw the man who had transferred in an instant, she stopped abruptly.
"Girl, where do you want to go alone? Last night, someone was disappointed and failed to live up to the beautiful scenery. Tonight, while the moonlight is just right, wouldn't it be beautiful for us to continue the frontier?" said the arch hand named Xiao Wu, and his voice was very elegant and beautiful.
The girl said coldly, "Get out of the way!" The voice was delicate and soft, and it was graceful to hear.
Haibao was taken aback, just those two words, and he could hear it, this girl was the woman who rowed and sang in the river last night, Du Xueyi. Just because she was dressed in white yesterday and covered her face with a white veil, she didn't see her face clearly, but today she was dressed in black and wore a wide-brimmed hat on her head, and Haibao didn't even recognize her.
No wonder it felt a little familiar when I first saw her.
The short and thin man said: "Little Wu, have you forgotten? This chick doesn't like the little white face of Wen Crepe, or a wild man like me is more worthy of her." Girl, you're not right. In this wilderness, where do you tell us to go? Obedient, today a gentleman will open up to you, so that you can know the joy of being a woman. After that, he laughed lewdly twice, and grabbed Du Xueyi's chest with both hands.
Du Xueyi was annoyed and angry, and shouted "Look for death!" With a wave of his sleeves, the short and thin man was defenseless, and he was hit all of a sudden, and fell to the ground with a scream. Du Xueyi then struck at Xiao Wu and the tall fat man, and the three of them immediately became a mess. At this time, the thin man couldn't help but spit out of his mouth, probably bleeding from his mouth.
Haibao was about to jump out to help, but was held down by Saint Zuoyu, and said in a low voice: "This woman's martial arts are not under the three of them, let's see." ”
Sure enough, after more than 20 moves, Xiao Wu and the tall fat man fell behind. At this time, the thin man got up from the ground and rushed towards Du Xueyi. Du Xueyi looked back, blocked the thin man's punch, and the palm of the tall fat man behind him also came to him. Du Xueyi dodged and dodged, kicked his leg in the middle of the trend, and hit the fat man's lower body.
Du Xueyi spat on the ground with a "bah", and said, "How many good family women have been harmed by lewd thieves like you, and today this girl will eliminate the harm for the people!"
Xiao Wu hurriedly shouted: "Wait! The girl wants to know the whereabouts of the Fu Demon Bead?"
Du Xueyi was slightly stunned, stopped, and said, "Who are you? How do you know about Fu Demon Bead?"
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Of course I know about the Fu Demon Bead! If the girl wants to know more, she might as well sit down and talk slowly." ”
Haibao couldn't help but prick up his ears when he heard the "Demon Bead", and at the same time felt that Saint Zuoyu's body was slightly shocked, causing the surrounding grass and leaves to shake slightly. was pondering in his heart, but he saw the tall fat man wave his hand, raising a burst of powder, Du Xue's body weakened, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Haha, little girl, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't match my father's ** incense. If you just beat the master, the master will get it back from you. The short, thin man said, laughing.
"Little girl, do you know how beautiful you are? Ye has been hungry for you for a long time, do you know? Today, Ye can finally taste what it is like to be a girl in Lingshan. The tall fat man said, and tore off the girl's veil, like a plate of fragrant roast duck that he had been hungry for three days and suddenly saw.
Seeing that Du Xueyi was going to suffer, Haibao couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled the placket of Saint Zuoyu's clothes, and Saint Zuoyu whispered: "You go, I'll guard here, and I'll save you when you are also drugged." Haibao felt reckless at this time, and remembered that Zhang Chengjian said that he should learn to use the things around him as weapons anytime and anywhere, so he picked three blades of grass and used some strength to fight them.
Haibao's move originally only wanted to scare the three men, but he didn't want to kill them, so he didn't have much strength, but when he saw the three leaves shoot out, the three men fell to the ground without snorting. Those who practice martial arts, their eyesight is excellent, although it is night at this time, and there is only a hazy moonlight, but Haibao Saint Zuo Yu can clearly see that the leaf actually pierced into the chest of the three men, and the wound is bleeding outward, and the clothes are soaked in an instant!
