Five days later, in the afternoon, the three horses returned to Zhuangzi with birds and animals on their backs. Rhubarb greeted him from afar, jumped around Qian Jin, and threw himself on Qian Jin, who dismounted and hugged Rhubarb's head for a while, and then led the three horses back home.

Ji Nianqin was the first to pounce, pulling Qian Jin's arm and asking how he felt after going out, and Aunt Ji unloaded all the things on the horse's back.

The master's mental state is better than before, and he feels like a spring breeze. Qian Jin gave an explanation of the two-month itinerary to everyone.

After listening to Qian Jin's story, Liu Yi nodded, "I have gained a lot from this trip, and this way is the best." ”

Holding the musket that Qian Jin handed him, "It's such a thing, we have suffered a big loss." You can play now?"

"Yes. After practicing in the woods for a while, each shot could shoot down a bird and a beast, and these were all shot down during the practice. ”

"Well done!"

Qian Jin took out three muskets, gave each of the three of them one, told them how to use them, and told them all the essentials of shooting. Now there were four hundred and eight pieces of gunpowder left, and the rest was used up by himself in the woods, and each of them gave one hundred and twenty, and the remaining forty-eight were kept for himself.

After more than a year of improved food and mental state, Aunt Ji and Ji Nianqin's bodies are much stronger than before, no longer with a white face, but with a ruddy white complexion, and a very healthy look. Ji Nianqin now also shows a very lively and innocent appearance, often pulling Qian Jin to ask questions, not only in terms of practice, but also in the outside world, which is very different from the timidity when they first met.

And since the arrival of their mother and daughter at home, Qian Jin feels warmer at home, more popular, and no longer has the monotony of the past; in the past, the master and himself at home, as well as rhubarb, sat down very dull; now, with Aunt Ji's care and greetings from time to time, there are also Ji Nian's relatives chattering non-stop, asking non-stop, and the home is always full of warmth.

From the next day, Qian Jin began his practice career again, and also took Ji Nianqin to train; I have to say, her talent is still very good, but there is too long a time in the middle of the systematic training; now through the guidance of the master and himself, the progress is rapid, grappling, Tai Chi and other boxing has been used freely; each leg is tied to 30 catties of leggings can still be on the plum blossom pile arrows.

Qian Jin taught her darts and flying needles, and she quickly played without missing shots, but her strength was slightly worse; after testing 40 gunpowders, the next 20 shots in a row could make no false shots, and even point to where to hit. It can be said that it now has enough self-protection and even the ability to take the initiative.

One day in midsummer, at breakfast, the four of them sat together to prepare for dinner, and the master pulled Aunt Ji and said to Qian Jin and Ji Nianqin, "From today onwards, the two of us will become two people." "Aunt Ji, it should be called Shiniang's face is a little red, and she looks a little shy.

Ji Nianqin cheered, "Daddy is good, mother is good." ”

Qian Jin also shouted. "The master is good, the master is good. ”

After eating, Ji Nianqin pulled Qian Jin and said, "Brother Jin, let's go buy some things for my mother and father today." ”

"Okay, let's go to the town. You go and ask the master if she and the master are going. ”

After a while she came out and said that neither of them was going.

The two were dressed in formal clothes and rode horses, unhurriedly. Qian Jin didn't want to be too fast, while Ji Nianqin chattered with Qian Jin about their past. It can be heard that in addition to being dissatisfied with the poverty of life and Bao Qi's proposal, Ji Nianqin is still very satisfied with the life of Jijiazhuang, where there are many childhood playmates, and there are also acquaintances; after arriving here, life is good, there is no mental pressure, and you can practice kung fu every day, which is very satisfying; but there is no partner to play, those peers in Zhuangzi have to engage in production and labor, and they have no time to play with her, and they are a little lonely, especially when Qian Jin is not at home; if Qian Jin wants to go out in the future, he must take himself out.

After stepping onto the official road, the two found from time to time that a convoy was coming, all of them dragging their children and daughters, and they found four teams from their home to Zhendian, and Qian Jin felt a little puzzled about this.

The two of them went around the shop in Zhendian and found that there was nothing to buy.

Ji Nianqin proposed, "Let's go to the county seat, there are more things there." "After that, he rode his horse directly in the direction of the county seat.

Qian Jin could only run forward with her, and since they were going to the county seat, the two began to speed up.

The two were running happily when suddenly a group of men and horses came running from behind, overtaking them, and rolling up the dust. Ji Nianqin also immediately accelerated, trying to overtake them, Qian Jin followed her to speed up, and after a while, the two ran back to the front of the team.

Qian Jin looked back, the team of people and horses were all young and middle-aged, a total of twenty-three people, neatly dressed, and carrying knives on horseback, which should be together.

Neither side spoke, but just hurried up and maintained this speed all the way to the county seat.

Qian Jin and the two found a restaurant, stored the horses, washed their faces and hands and ordered food to eat.

Qian Jin listened carefully to the conversation of the diners. It was learned that the south was now attacking the northern government, the Republic of China had been established in the south, the imperial court was retreating, and the army of the Republic of China had already crossed the Yangtze River. In the midst of the chaos, many families in large places moved to the countryside, and many people joined the southern army to attack the imperial army. Now the situation is starting to be chaotic again, and there are more bandits who rob homes and houses.

After the two finished eating, they led the horse to walk around the street, and Ji Nianqin took the things he needed to buy when he saw them, and Qian Jin followed behind to pay, and he looked like a follower. In the end, the two horses were led by Qian Jin, and Ji Nianqin strode in front, responsible for buying things, and after buying, Qian Jin paid and put the things on the horse's back.

It took an hour to finally visit all the county. In addition to clothes, shoes and socks and other things, I also bought a hundred catties of rice and some special foods that Ji Nianqin thought was worth buying.

The two of them returned faster than when they came out, but not as fast as when they came to the county seat to compete with the team; in a forest not long after leaving the town, eight people suddenly sprang out of it, holding big knives and sticks and other guys, standing in the middle of the road, shouting at the two of them, "Stay and buy road money!"

Qian Jin asked Ji Nianqin, "Are you coming or am I coming?"

Ji Nianqin, "Come on, girls fight and kill, it's not good." ”

Qian Jin rode forward and shouted, "Get out!"

Those few people ran towards Qian Jin with a guy, and Qian Jin jumped off the horse, and without taking the knife, he went straight up.

Ran to the first person, let the iron rod he smashed down, according to his heart, kicked him directly into the air and flew back; at this time, the second person's knife had already stopped and slashed, Qian Jin leaned in front of him, hit his head is a punch, and then rushed in the direction of the third person; the third person also raised the big knife high, and was about to cut it down, Qian Jin kicked him in the wrist, and when the knife flew down, Qian Jin's right elbow had already hit his abdomen; the second and third people flew out and fell to the ground one after another, wailing again and again.

The fourth person held a sword in his hand, and greeted Qian Jin in the face, Qian Jin was short, his right hand was on the ground, and a series of kicks kicked him on the fifth person, and the two kept retreating; Qian Jin flew up with a hearty kick, kicking both of them to the ground, and hitting the fifth person's head is a kick.

The sixth and seventh people attacked from both sides, one made a meteor hammer, one made a double hammer, Qian Jin slid forward, flashed out of their melee range, and then turned around, according to the meteor hammer warrior body flying kick, at this time the meteor hammer was in the neutral, both feet fell on his body, Qian Jin borrowed a force on him, dodged the double hammer that hit, reflexively kicked, kicked in the back of the head of the double warrior, and then another flying kick, kicked in his back, the sixth and seventh people one lay on his back, the other lay on the ground.

As soon as the eighth person saw the hard idea, he danced the double knife fast to protect himself from Qian Jin's attack; Qian Jin walked towards him slowly, his eyes were fixed on him, and he walked forward step by step, and when he reached the range of his double knife, he finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and raised his knife to slash at Qian Jin; Qian Jin was waiting for such an opportunity, and when he saw him raise the knife in his right hand, he immediately rushed up, and followed his right hand is a leg, and the knife in his right hand followed and slashed towards his neck, and in an unbelievable eye, the man fell to the ground.

Qian Jin looked back and saw that no one could get up, six people should be in a coma, and two were wailing.

Collect all the weapons together, several knives were broken by Qian Jin, and all of them were broken, and the same was true for that sword; the iron rod was bent into an arc by Qian Jin when he held it in his hand; Qian Jin couldn't help but laugh, he dared to take out such a weapon and rob it, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead; the pair of maces and meteor hammers were good things, Qian Jin unceremoniously accepted them, and threw them to Ji Nian to put away.

Qian Jin walked up to the two people who were still wailing and asked them where they were from, why they came to such a remote place to rob, and how many people they still had.

The two wailed while explaining the origins of several people to Qian Jin. They came from Changfu and Tanfu in Jiangxi Province respectively, and some time ago they were in the midst of a war, and they moved west with their families; as their families became more and more exhausted, and their lives became more and more difficult, several of them practiced martial arts since they were children, and they wanted to come out to get some entanglements, so they came out together; today was the second day, and yesterday they only got 300 taels of silver.

Qian Jin didn't know whether to say it to them or to himself, "There are so many barren mountains and mountains here, it was originally a good place to build a house and live, but I didn't expect it to become a place for robbers to rob. With that, he left them straight on his horse, and rode away with Ji Nian himself, completely ignoring the eight people on the ground.
