Ruan Jingtian looked at Li Butterfly in a devil's uniform, this was the first time he had looked at this girl carefully, although the two of them walked side by side for nearly a morning. Li Butterfly did not apply powder, but could not hide the delicate face, although the eyes revealed sadness, but the eyes were clear and deep, revealing a wise gaze.

Shizi Township is located in the northeast of Dongshan City, far from the western suburbs of Rabbit Ridge, Ruan Jingtian drove a truck, shuttling through the mountains and jungles. The minor languages he chose to study in Manguo were Zhe Chinese and Mai Chinese, because these two countries were the two major powers besides Manguo at that time. When passing through the checkpoint of the devil, his fluency in philosophical language and the water organ certificate of the warrior of the Zheguo that he had searched from the blacksmith shop, made them pass through the five checkpoints.

After more than six hours of bumpy driving, the truck finally appeared in Rabbit Ridge. At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, Ruan Jingtian and Li Butterfly got out of the car, and observed left and right as they walked forward. Soon they found the blacksmith and his apprentice hidden behind the rocks.

The blacksmith's name was Li Ji, his apprentice's name was Yang Dabao, and Ruan Jingtian also said his name. After the four of them had a simple meal, Ruan Jingtian came to the graves of Fan Peiyong and Qinghui alone and cleaned up the weeds in front of the tombs. He knew that Li Ji's father and daughter, master and apprentice, had some private things to say.

After a while, Li Ji and the three of them walked in front of Ruan Jingtian.

"Ruan Engong, your life-saving grace, we will never forget. We have a reluctant request, can we say it?"

"Master Li, you're welcome, call me Xiao Ruan, I'm the same age as Yang Dabao and Li Butterfly, I'm your junior, don't hesitate to say anything you want. ”

"Although I am a few years older, I can't be rude. Engong, we are homeless now, and we want to fight devils with you. We don't have any other skills, but we have the strength, as long as we have guns and knives, we can kill a few devils. ”

Ruan Jingtian looked at the three people in front of him and was silent. Fighting with the devils of Zheguo is not something that can be done with enthusiasm alone.

"Master Li, I understand your feelings, you also have the courage not to be afraid of hardships and life and death, but now I am being chased and killed by devils, so if you follow me, I am afraid it will not be safe. Maybe you didn't kill the devil, but were hit by the devil's stray bullet first. I can give you some guns and ammunition, and you can go to the nearby countryside to settle down, and even if you meet devils, you can protect yourself. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Li Butterfly suddenly pulled his father's clothes. Li Ji said: "Engong, the three of us are following you, and it may drag you down." If Engong doesn't dislike it, can you let the little girl butterfly follow you and learn how to kill devils, Butterfly is a girl, inconspicuous, and Butterfly has been literate and hyphenated since childhood, her body is strong, and she doesn't panic in case of trouble, I don't think butterflies will bring a lot of drag to Engong. ”

Ruan Jingtian was very surprised, he thought that Li Ji might let his apprentice Yang Dabao follow him, but he didn't expect that it was Li Butterfly who wanted to follow him. He thought for a moment, and thought that it might be Li Ji who wanted his daughter to repay him for saving her life when she was able. Ruan Jingtian stared at Li Butterfly, although it was dark, Ruan Jingtian could still see Li Butterfly's expression clearly.

Li Butterfly's gaze met Ruan Jingtian's gaze firmly, and her eyes were full of blazing heat. Ruan Jingtian suddenly understood that this was Li Butterfly's own idea, and he was afraid that he begged Li Ji to get Li Ji's consent.

After thinking about it, Ruan Jingtian looked at Li Ji and then at Li Butterfly, and found that both father and daughter showed perseverance and did not have the slightest intention of retreating. He sighed and said, "Master Li, Miss Li, killing devils is extremely dangerous, and you may face unexpected things at any time, and some things may be more terrible than death. Miss Li, you are a girl, you will encounter more difficulties, and there will be more inconveniences, have you father and daughter thought it through?"

Li Butterfly stepped forward, knelt in front of Ruan Jingtian, and said firmly: "I have thought it through, I beg Engong to fulfill it, I believe I will not drag you down." ”

Li Ji and Yang Dabao also knelt on the ground, and Li Ji choked up and said: "Engong, we have already ruined our family, I hope Engong is pitiful, bring butterflies." Butterfly's greatest wish is to kill the devil with his own hands, even if it is one. I, a father, don't have the ability to teach her to kill devils, so I can only ask you to do it. After Li Ji finished speaking, he pulled Li Butterfly and Yang Dabao to kowtow to Ruan Jingtian together.

Ruan Jingtian hurriedly supported the three of them and said, "Master Li, okay, I promise you." Do not do this great gift. ”

Li Ji stood up, but didn't let Li Butterfly get up, he said to Li Butterfly: "Butterfly, kowtow to Engong again, Engong will be your master in the future, you have to respect Master forever, you will do whatever Master tells you to do, even if you go to the soup and fire, you will never give up." ”

When Li Butterfly was about to kowtow, Ruan Jingtian immediately stopped him, pulled Li Butterfly up, and said: "I am still young, how can I be a master? I will teach you instead of my master, in the future, I will call you junior sister, you call me senior brother, how about it?"

Seeing Ruan Jingtian's resolute attitude, Li Ji had no choice but to say: "Okay, when I see Engong's master in the future, let the butterfly perform the apprenticeship ceremony." “

"The tomb of one of my masters is here, you see, this is my brother and my master Fan Peiyong. Ruan Jingtian pointed to Fan Peiyong's tomb. He stroked the simple stone that was used as a tombstone, his expression was gloomy, and he said to Li Butterfly: "Senior sister, Fan Peiyong is both my brother and my master, you have to learn the techniques of killing devils, many of them were taught to me." If you kowtow to him, it's an apprenticeship. ”

Li Butterfly hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down. Ruan Jingtian himself knelt down in front of the tomb and said to the tombstone: "Brother Fan, although I have never called you Master, you are my Master! Today, I will accept Li Butterfly as your successor for you, hoping that Brother Fan will have a spirit in heaven and bless us." I'm sure your apprentice won't let you down. ”

Li Butterfly kowtowed to Fan Peiyong's tomb three times, and said loudly: "Master is above, apprentice Li Butterfly kowtows to you." Li Ji and Yang Dabao also knelt down and kowtowed a few times to the tomb.

Ruan Jingtian waited for the three of them to get up, and then said to Li Ji: "Master Li, we will be a family in the future, don't call me Engong anymore, call me Jingtian, I will also call you Uncle Li, how about it?"

"Okay, then I'll take care of you and let you pass through the sky. Jingtian, although we don't follow you, but how to go in the future, you can give you an idea. ”

"Uncle Li, my Brother Fan's family is in Xiaomiao Township, Taishui Town, you and Da Baoke go there and find a place to stay, in a few days, I will take my junior sister to Xiaomiao Township, when we meet, do you think this is feasible?"

"Okay, that's a good idea, Dabao and I will open another blacksmith shop in Xiaomiao Township, and you and Butterfly will easily find us. ”

Ruan Jingtian and the four of them talked again, the night was already dark, Ruan Jingtian cleaned up the truck a little, let Li Butterfly sleep in the cab, and the three of them slept in the back of the truck. In the middle of the night, Ruan Jingtian came to the woods of Rabbit Ridge, practiced the Xuangang Technique for two hours, and found two big stones to replace the altar, and practiced the Eagle Claw Gong for an hour.

In the early morning of the next day, after Ruan Jingtian practiced, he gave Li Ji and Yang Dabao two pistols and six magazines, simply taught them how to shoot, and gave them some gold leaves.

After Ruan Jingtianmu sent Li Ji and the others away, he handed a pistol to Li Butterfly and said, "Senior sister, you should familiarize yourself with the pistol first, and we will go back to Dongshan City in a while." ”

Li Butterfly took the pistol, and according to Ruan Jingtian's teaching, he would soon be able to shoot with a bang. Ruan Jingtian found that Li Butterfly's comprehension ability was very strong, and his whole body's movement coordination was also very good, and he was satisfied with this inexplicable junior sister in his heart.

Ruan Jingtian sorted out yesterday's trophies and found that the text and thin pamphlet on the dead Zheguo warrior in the blacksmith shop were somewhat interesting. Although the text of these texts and pamphlets is in Zhe Chinese, Nguyen Jingtian reads through them effortlessly.

Those texts actually recorded the relevant information of each core member of the Iron and Blood Hoe Gang, and Fan Peiyong's No. 89 Xiangyang Lane was actually on it, and Fan Peiyong's other property was also recorded. There are two possible places for Cheng Fanghu, three places for Shi to hide, and two places for An Gang, but there is only one place for Zhang Baiwen and Ruan Jingtian to live, and they are all Zhang's department stores. Ruan Jingtian saw this, his scalp was numb, and it seemed that the water organ of Zheguo really lived up to its reputation, and in just a few days, he almost figured out the bottom of the iron-blooded hoe gang. However, his small bungalow in Longyin River and the small courtyard of Iron Hat Hutong in the center of the city were not exposed, thanks to his usual caution. Ruan Jingtian was not surprised that Zhang Baiwen's secret place was not exposed, after all, Zhang Baiwen was the patriarch of the iron-blooded hoe gang, and his shrewdness and prudence were not comparable to others.

Another record that Ruan Jingtian was interested in was that the Liuyun Provincial Headquarters of the Iron-blooded Gangster had actually sent a lot of people to Dongshan City recently. Dongshan City is subordinate to Liuyun Province, and the Iron-Blooded Hoe Gang also refers to this affiliation and establishes the headquarters of Liuyun Province. Zhang Baiwen is the deputy head of the Liuyun Provincial Headquarters. Ruan Jingtian looked at the relevant date, the headquarters of Liuyun Province sent people to Dongshan City eight days ago, but Ruan Jingtian did not hear anyone mention this matter, which is not very reasonable. It stands to reason that when someone comes from the headquarters organization, the following branches should greet or hold a meeting to convey instructions, but the headquarters is so secretive, so what is their purpose? Or Ruan Jingtian's level is not enough, or for other reasons, everyone else is hiding from Ruan Jingtian? Ruan Jingtian feels that this possibility is very small, after all, he is the intelligence director of the iron-blooded gang.

Ruan Jingtian couldn't figure it out, so he put down the matter of people coming from the headquarters, after all, the headquarters was still some distance away from him, and at least Zhang Baiwen was supported in the middle. He turned to the thin booklet. This is the martial art of the warriors of the Philosophers--- Jiugong.

Jiu-Gong actually originated in the Thorn Kingdom 500 years ago. Jiu Gong is a physical exercise that greatly improves the flexibility of the human body, and now the Assassin Kingdom uses Jiu Gong for juggling performances, and the performers show the flexibility of the body and make some movements that ordinary people can't do. However, Tetsukook took this technique to its disposal and used it in martial arts. In battle, Jiu Gong can deform the body and attack from unexpected angles and directions, achieving the effect of surprise and killing the enemy with one blow.

During the assassination operation in the municipal square, Cheng Fang Hu intercepted two warriors, and one of the warriors strangely dodged Cheng Fang Tiger's leg and flew up, which is a soft gong performed. Later, the warrior was attacked and killed by Ruan Jingtian's dagger.

The practice of Jiu Gong is known for its pain training, and the practice time is long, and it is difficult for ordinary people to stick to it. However, the warriors of Zheguo improved the practice of ligament stretching, so that the cultivation time of Jiugong was shortened, but this improved exercise was very painful.

Ruan Jingtian ran the exercise, and the ligaments on his body were torn and pulled, and severe pain hit. However, Ruan Jingtian had been trained to resist attacks, but he didn't feel too much pain. He put away the exercises, believing that practicing this exercise would help him understand the martial arts of the Zheguo, and that it would be very good to be able to predict the direction and location of the enemy's attack when facing the enemy.

He glanced at Li Butterfly, who was interested in shooting not far away, and thought to himself that if she was willing to endure hardship, she would be suitable for practicing Jiugong, because girls' bodies are much more flexible than boys.
