Contradictions intensified
On the martial arts training field of Yangfu, Niuniu is practicing archery with a bow and arrow in her hand, she still uses the original five-bucket bow, she practices small martial arts, and her strength is far behind, and her strength is still very difficult to pull Yuanba's eight-bucket riding bow.
For two months, she practiced archery almost every night.
Niuniu is the same age as Yuanba, and she is also very tall, she is only half a head shorter than Yuanba, she has grown to five feet five, and she is a slim and beautiful girl, but she is still a little immature between her eyebrows and eyes, and more importantly, she is still childlike, which always makes Yuanba think that she is still the little girl riding a bamboo horse.
Niuniu wears a coarse cloth long skirt on the lower body, a short undergarment on the upper body, her hair is combed into a double ring bun, and a silver hairpin is inserted obliquely. This was bought for her by Yuanba last year, under the moonlight, her skin was as clear as jade, her beautiful eyes were like deep pools, her nose and lips were amazingly exquisite, she looked very much like her mother, but there was a trace of heroism left to her by her father between her eyebrows and eyes.
She slowly drew her bow and aimed at the straw man target fifty paces away, and as soon as the string loosened, the long arrow 'swished!', as fast as a fly, piercing the straw man's face with precision.
"Good archery!"
Yuanba applauded from the wall, and Niuniu stomped her feet, "Don't do it!" Brother Yuanba came to make fun of people again. ”
Yuan Ba jumped off the wall lightly and skillfully, walked over and said with a smile: "How dare I make fun of Niu Niu? It is indeed a good shot, I remember that you only penetrated a small half last month, and now you can shoot through most of it, which means that your strength is increasing, of course you have to praise it." ”
Niuniu was happy and proud in her heart, she handed the bow to Yuanba, "Then you shoot an arrow and show me." ”
Yuan Ba has been practicing riding and archery in the military camp outside the left acropolis for two years, and he can also open a stone bow on a horse, he is no longer comfortable with this kind of five-bucket bow, in addition to the more accurate archery in the past two years, he has always wanted to practice Zhang Xutuo's double dragon out of the water, but it has not been very ideal, his strength is not enough.
However, his archery skills have made great progress, he has been able to open the bow left and right last year, Yuan Ba pulled out two arrows from the quiver, one bites the mouth, holds the bow in his left hand, pulls the string with his right arm, and shoots an arrow, the arrow is like a meteor, and an arrow shoots through the straw man target, and then, he changes his right hand to hold the bow, and the left arm pulls the string, and another arrow shoots out strongly, the arrow is like lightning, and an arrow shoots through the eyebrows of the straw man.
Seeing Niuniu's amazement, her big eyes were full of admiration, "Brother Yuanba, is this the left and right bow?"
Yuan Ba nodded, "This technique has not yet been felt in the foot bow, but it is different on the horse, you can shoot the enemy left and right during the gallop, and as a general, you must be able to shoot the bow left and right." ”
"Then you teach me, I want to learn too!"
Yuan Ba shook his head, "There's no trick to this, just practice hard, let's go! ”
"Okay, I'll go get the arrows!"
Niuniu rushed away, a moment, she retrieved the arrow, put the quiver on her back, and followed Yuanba quickly, since she was a child, she has been a little heel, she has always been the head of Yuanba, she has become accustomed to it, as long as Yuanba tells her to go, she will definitely obey and obediently follow behind him.
Yuan Ba glanced back at her, and saw her obediently following behind him, squatting down on the grass from time to time to pick a small flower that had just bloomed, humming the Jiangnan minor tune that her mother taught her, and a word suddenly popped out of Yuan Ba's mind, 'Husband sings and women follow!'
He immediately slapped himself in the mouth, dirty! She was his sister, how could she have such thoughts?
"Brother Yuanba, why are you beating yourself?" asked Niuniu curiously.
"No, I feel like a wasp is stinging me. ”
"Don't scare me, I'm most afraid of hornets!" Niuniu was startled, she ran two steps, grabbed Yuanba's arm, and looked around in fear.
Yuan Ba suddenly shouted mischievously, "Ah, there is a snake, beware, right at your feet." ”
Niuniu swept the corner of her eyes, and found that there was really a long black shadow at her feet, so frightened that she screamed, jumped on Yuan Ba at once, and hugged his neck tightly, Yuan Ba laughed, Niu Niu suddenly saw clearly, it was just a piece of hemp rope, and she hated Xiao Fan fist to beat him around, "You dead bull head! Dare to lie to me, watch me beat you to death." ”
Yuan Ba covered his mouth and snickered, while running, he climbed over the wall in two clicks, but Niu Niu was much better than him, and jumped on the wall with a slight jump, only to see that Yuan Ba had run away.
"Don't run away, bullhead!" she stomped her foot in hatred and jumped off the wall to catch up.
.......
The two of them were playing and playing, and soon they walked side by side, the courtyard was full of lanterns, many of which had been lit, and the two of them looked up to see the bright and lifelike lanterns as they walked.
Niuniu looked at a lotus boy lantern and said stupidly: "Brother Yuanba, can we go to the metropolitan city to enjoy the lanterns on the first night of this year?"
"Okay, I'll buy you a golden hairpin this year. ”
"The golden hairpin is very expensive, and Fei'er has one, and she said that it costs a hundred dollars. ”
"It's okay, we can afford it, buy one for you and your aunt. ”
"Hmm!"
"Niu Niu, we're ready to move. ”
"Moving?" Niuniu tilted her head and blinked at him, "Where are we moving to?"
"Tomorrow I won't hunt, I'm going to rent a house, I don't want to live in Yang Mansion, I really don't like it here. ”
"I don't like it either, that horse steward is disgusting, staring at my mother all day, I want to beat him!"
"Hey, hey, I've already beaten it today. ”
While talking, the two walked to a gate, in front of which was the passage from the middle courtyard to the west outer courtyard, and in the middle they had to pass through the mansion of the second lord Yang Shen, who was guarded during the day and locked at night, they should go out of the gate to go around the west gate, but in fact they all went over the wall.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard Shen Qiuniang's shouting from afar, "Niuniu, you go quickly!"
The voice was extremely anxious, as if something big had happened, Yuan Ba and Niuniu glanced at each other, jumped up at the same time, climbed over the wall, and ran towards the house.
........
Yuanba's small courtyard was already surrounded by nearly a hundred Yang Mansion family members, and the black oppressive figures flickered in the red firelight.
Dozens of steps away, hundreds of Yang family disciples watched from afar, no one thought that Shen Qiuniang, who was usually soft and weak, would actually be able to do martial arts, and one person knocked seventeen or eighteen family members to the ground, although Shen Qiuniang was helpful and everyone got along well, but the hundred family members were shining with knives and iron rods, and no one dared to step forward to stop them, and the eyes of the onlookers were full of anger and helplessness.
In the hunting firelight, Yang Su's nephew Yang Xiongyuan held an iron rod in his hand and stared closely at Shen Qiuniang standing on the roof, his eyes spraying anger.
Yang Xiongyuan is the commander of the Yang Mansion, six feet tall, with a strong physique, he is also the Yang Clan's disciple with the highest martial arts in the Yang Mansion, he has just received an order from the master's mother, He Ruoyun Niang, to go to the West Outer Courtyard to catch a slave, at first he didn't take this matter to heart, and sent seven family members to arrest people.
But he didn't expect that all seven family members were overturned, and then the second group of fifteen people was also beaten down, which made him furious, and immediately led one hundred and twenty family members to arrest people, which was half of all the family members in Yang Mansion.
In this dilapidated courtyard, he encountered fierce resistance, and more than a dozen people were overturned, but no one was caught, which made Yang Xiongyuan lose face, but fortunately, this woman was very measured, and her subordinates were only knocked down, but none of them were injured.
Hundreds of family members have surrounded the small kitchen, there are 40 people in the yard, and the remaining 60 people have surrounded the kitchen front and back.
Yang Xiongyuan scolded himself: "There is still such a woman hidden in the Yang Mansion, after so many years, Lao Tzu didn't even know." ”
"Head, do you want to shoot this woman down?" asked a family leader who stepped forward and whispered.
Yang Xiongyuan glanced back at Yang Jishan, who had just arrived, and asked him in a low voice: "Fourth brother, or we will injure her with medicine and arrows, so that she will not be able to resist." ”
Yang Jishan never thought that things would evolve to this extent, dealing with a little slave and maid, it was the first time for Yang Mansion to move the crowd so much, and there had been a few times before when the maid and the little maid were paired, and the women were unwilling, so they could only be forcibly matched, which was normal, and in the end, the woman's body was occupied, and she would generally accept her fate.
He also thought about it like this, as long as Shen Qiuniang was willing in the end, the eldest brother could also have an explanation, but he didn't expect that this Shen Qiuniang would be able to martial arts, and it would turn from an ordinary arrest to a fierce confrontation, he began to realize that the problem was a bit serious, and he had to report to his mother immediately and let her reconsider.
Thinking of this, he instructed Yang Xiongyuan, "Don't hurt anyone, and don't let her run away." ”
He turned around to report it, but Yang Xiongyuan hurriedly asked: "If you don't hurt people, it's okay to capture her alive, otherwise she will hurt the brothers." ”
"Yes!"
Yang Jishan hurriedly ran away, Yang Xiongyuan glanced at Shen Qiuniang viciously, if the more than 100 Ding in the Yang Mansion couldn't even catch a slave and maid, what face would they have to gain a foothold in the capital.
"Tear down the house for me, prepare a net to arrest people!"
When the order was given, more than 100 family members swarmed up and began to hit the kitchen wall with wood, and a dozen family members held three large nets, and once the house collapsed, they immediately cast the net to arrest people.
Shen Qiuniang stood on the top of the kitchen with a dagger in her hand, she was also resentful in her heart, in all the things that happened tonight, she was the focus of attention, but she was also the most innocent, she didn't even know that she had been assigned to the horse steward in charge of the bookkeeper, and she didn't know that the nurse Yuanba had already obtained her slave contract.
She was boiling hot water in the kitchen, preparing for the bath of the two children tonight, but she didn't expect the seven family members to slam the door in, without any explanation, they grabbed her and left, so that she couldn't bear it anymore, and finally made a move.
She didn't expect that the situation would get worse and worse, the Yang Mansion actually dispatched hundreds of families to arrest her, she had a short chance to escape, but she couldn't rest assured that her daughter didn't leave.
The family members shouted excitedly, hugged Shen Qiuniang, and more than a dozen family members who suffered a loss rushed up to punch and kick
At this time, she couldn't leave anymore, the thin wall of the kitchen was constantly smashed through, crumbling, Shen Qiuniang was anxious, she was even more worried about her daughter being caught, she shouted loudly into the distance: "Niuniu, you go quickly!"
Just as she shouted, the kitchen collapsed, Shen Qiuniang fell from the roof, and three nets were thrown at her at the same time, Shen Qiuniang rolled on the ground, jumped up, and rushed to her room, but before she could jump, the three nets were cast at the same time, and she was firmly entangled.
"Caught it!", at this moment, only to hear a long shrill roar in the distance, like an angry dragon out to sea.
