Chapter 30 The thirtieth episode of running away while sick

After noon in the sun, Chu Baoling was waiting for Zhan Bocheng to come back, until the shadow of the sun set to the west, there was still no sign of him.Chu Baoling stayed alone in the vacant room, and couldn't help feeling restless and restless.She didn't have a high fever during the day, and she felt better. She thought to herself: "The shopkeeper said that the doctor's temper is very weird. Could it be that Xiao Chengzi asked him not to move, and is still begging? Well, I hope it's just In this way, there will be no other accidents. I will wait for a while, and if Xiao Chengzi does not come back, I will come to seek medical treatment in person, so I can find out." She tried to move her hands and feet, and felt that she could still ride a horse.

When Chu Baoling was anxious, she suddenly heard the sound of hooves and stopped at the door of this inn.Chu Baoling only knew that Zhan Bocheng had come back, and was overjoyed, and was about to go out to meet her, when she heard a voice like a silver bell praising: "What a horse!" It sounded like a young girl, and she had dismounted and walked away. Come into the inn. Chu Baoling was stunned for a moment, and thought: "This woman's voice is so familiar! But why does she praise her own horse?" She quietly peeped out from the crack of the door, and she couldn't help being surprised and delighted after seeing it.

This girl is none other than Tie Ning.Outside the inn, a young servant was washing Chu Baoling's horse. Seeing guests coming, he put down his work, took over Tie Ning's horse, and led her horse to drink water. It was only then that Chu Baoling suddenly realized that what Tie Ning admired was not her own mount, but her bay red horse.Martial arts sons and daughters all like fine horses, and the owners of fine horses are mostly martial arts figures, Chu Baoling thought: "It must be because Tiening saw my horse that she was attracted to this inn." Chu Baoling was three or four years older than Tie Ning, and she used to play in the same place when she was young.However, because Tie Ning went to study arts with Xin Zhigu when she was ten years old, when they were together, Tie Ning was still a naughty little girl, while Chu Baoling was already a little girl who knew a little about people, so their relationship could not be described. It is the feelings of a bosom friend, and Chu Baoling is of course far less familiar with her than Zhan Bocheng.

Chu Baoling was worried about the emotional entanglement between Liu Mang and Zhan Bocheng, and she also knew that the Tie Zheng brothers and sisters had come to Panlong Valley on the night she left. The Tie Zheng brothers and sisters knew about Liu Mang's robbery. Because Chu Baoling was troubled, she should have been happy to meet her childhood friend at this time, but instead she wanted to avoid meeting Tie Ning. In Chu Baoling's mind, Tie Ning was still a little girl who didn't understand the world at all. She was really afraid that Tie Ning would ask her about Liu Mang and teach her not to know how to explain it.Chu Baoling thought: "I won't go out to see her for the time being, and we'll talk about it when Xiao Chengzi comes back."

Still thinking about it, Tie Ning found the shopkeeper and asked, "Is there any room?" The shopkeeper looked her up and said, "Little girl, are you alone?" In the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, there was little difference between men and women.It is not as strict as the later generations who pay attention to "etiquette and law", and women are not ashamed to show their faces.This kind of atmosphere is especially true in the north.So it is common for a single woman to go out.However, because Tie Ning was only a sixteen-year-old girl, the shopkeeper only asked her a few more questions.

Tie Ning said: "What? You don't allow single guests to stay in this inn?" The shopkeeper smiled and said: "That's not what I said. But you don't have an adult to accompany you, little girl, this." Tie Ning stared and said: "Oh , It turns out that you are afraid that I have no room money to pay you. Okay, you take this ingot of silver, I only stay for one night, and the room and food expenses are included in it. What Tie Ning gave was also a twelve tael ingot, not to mention one day's room and food, it was enough for half a month.The shopkeeper was taken aback, and thought: "No wonder the blind man told me my fortune, saying that I was lucky this year. Two Gods of Wealth came two days in a row, and today this little girl is even richer than yesterday's husband." !"

But the shopkeeper was about to take her money, but suddenly remembered that the restaurant was full, and couldn't help but grimaced again. Tie Ning said, "Why, you don't think it's enough?" The shopkeeper said: "No, no. The shop really has no vacancies." Tie Ning said angrily, "I don't believe it. If there were no vacancies, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The shopkeeper said: "Little girl, don't be angry, let me think of a way to balance both ends. Well, I have a single female guest who lives in a room. If you are willing to live with her, I will go and tell her to see her." Willing or not. It is convenient for you to go out and meet people, or she will agree. "

The shop waiter interjected, "Are you talking about the sick female customer? She has a younger brother as a companion. I'm afraid this, this is not appropriate?" The shopkeeper said: "What do you know? She is sick and just needs someone to accompany her. My brother can't stay with her all night. Little girl, don't stare and frown. This female guest is not suffering from any serious illness, just a little sick. It’s getting hotter.” The shopkeeper’s money-lovers had a whimsical mind, on the one hand, he felt that Chu Baoling, the siblings, were easy to talk to, and on the other hand, he thought that Tie Ning was a little girl, easy to deceive, so he came up with a way that he thought was “the best of both worlds”.

Tie Ning took back the money and said, "I don't like to accompany patients." The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted: "Go slowly, go slowly. I remember! I have a room for you!" Tie Ning actually didn't want to leave either, it turned out that she was planning to go to Yangzhou just to find Zhan Bocheng.When she heard the shopkeeper say that they were "sister and brother", she couldn't help her heart moving and thought, "Could it be such a coincidence?" At this time, when the shopkeeper said that there was a room, she was secretly happy, but pretended to be angry and scolded. The shopkeeper said: "You said that there is no room, why do you have another room now?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "There is a guest who has reserved a room, and he will come tomorrow." The boy seemed to be a little scared, and suddenly interrupted: "Shopkeeper, how do you expect him to come tomorrow, what if he comes today?" The shopkeeper reprimanded: "Of course I know. There is no need to tell you, and there is no need for you to talk too much." Although Tie Ning was young and inexperienced, she could tell from their conversation that there must be something wrong with this matter, but she was eager to stay in this inn, so she didn't pursue it.

When the boy was fetching water to wash her face, Tie Ning pretended to chat with him casually and said, "The business of your inn is very good. The room was booked a few days ago. Then What kind of guests are you?" One must know that in Dayi, the capital, it is common for people to book rooms in big inns.But in an ordinary small town, such a thing is very unusual. The young boy mumbled, "I-I don't know much about this. You'd better ask our shopkeeper." Tie Ning smiled slightly, took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to the boy, "I know that your shopkeeper took some risks to give up this room to me, so how can I ask him again and embarrass him? Hmm , or you tell me, this little money will be used as a small account for you." The young man took the silver and quietly went out to have a look!Seeing the shopkeeper taking a nap, he came back, closed the door, and said quietly: "To tell you the truth, our inn also does underworld business. But you don't have to be afraid. People from the underworld stay here. I will never rob our customers." In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the government, gangsters usually choose to stay in inns in small towns. Tie Ning was secretly amused: "My father is the leader of the Green Forest, so I am still afraid of people in the underworld?" He said immediately, "I know the rules. But I don't know which gang of underworld figures?" The boy was taken aback, and said, "How do you know there are rules in the underworld?" Tie Ning said: "Although I haven't met anyone in the underworld, I often run outside. I have never seen or heard of them." The young fellow got Tie Ning's money, and thought to himself: "Whoever she is, a little girl is never more terrifying than a robber, and I can't get rewarded for nothing." So he said truthfully: "I heard it is What about the Soul Chaser Gang, their leader used to live in our small shop, he was a man with a fierce face and a thick beard, I was scared when I saw him." Tie Ning said in her heart, "I've never heard of the Soul Chaser Gang. It must be a gang that hasn't entered the rivers and lakes." She didn't know that the leader of the "Soul Chaser Gang" was the "Seven Step Soul Chaser Palm" Sha Tieshan. Tie Ning smiled and said, "No wonder you were so scared just now. It turned out that you were afraid that the soul chasing leader would come today and chase your soul if he didn't have a room to live in." The boy changed his color and said: "I, I'm not afraid, I'm just a boy, if he wants to investigate, he can only investigate the shopkeeper." It can be seen that he is not afraid in his mouth, but he is actually very scared in his heart. Tie Ning smiled and said: "Don't panic, if he comes, I will deal with him. Whatever he is, the soul chasing leader, I don't believe that he can really chase my soul." The boy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself: "This little girl has a big tone! She must have practiced martial arts. But she doesn't know how fierce that gang leader is!" Tie Ning said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about this chasing soul leader. Let me ask you another thing. How old is the female guest you mentioned just now? Which room does she live in?" The young man got Tie Ning's money, so he knew everything and said everything, "It seems that she is not more than twenty, not a few years older than you. Here, she lives in the room opposite you." It turned out that The two of them had a room with the rear window facing the front window, but there was a patio in between. Tie Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she thought, "The age is right." Then she asked, "Where's her younger brother?" The boy said: "Her younger brother rode a horse early this morning to invite her for a doctor, but he hasn't come back yet." Tie Ning asked, "Does this doctor live far away?" The boy said: "It's not too far, it's not too close, it's about forty or fifty li." Tie Ning thought to herself: "Forty or fifty miles away, if you can walk fast and start early in the morning, you should be back now. What's more, Zhan Bocheng's mount is a famous horse given by Qin Xiang? Well, could it be that they Isn't the pair of siblings Zhan Bocheng and his sister Ling?" Tie Ning said: "Her younger brother is specially going to invite a doctor to come back to see her. So, this lady guest must be seriously ill, not just a little bit of heat?" The boy smiled and said, "That's right, the shopkeeper lied to you. He wanted you to live with that female guest just now, how dare he say that she is seriously ill?" Tie Ning pondered for a while, then said, "In your opinion, do they really look like a pair of siblings?" The little servant was stunned for a moment, and said: "I didn't pay attention, and I can't see any flaws. Why, do you suspect that they are pretending to be siblings?" Tie Ning felt that what she asked was a little rash, so she smiled, covered it up, and said, "I'm just curious, just ask casually. I'm a nosy person, right, I want to ask you something, you Whose mount is the bay red horse that was washed just now?" The boy said: "It's the horse of that female customer. Do you have anything else to ask? I'm afraid the shopkeeper will order me around." The boy felt that the little girl Tie Ning was "special". I am a little afraid of her. Tie Ning said: "No more, you can go." After the boy left, Tie Ning thought alone, feeling at a loss. "I wonder if this pair of siblings are them?" This was the question that puzzled Tie Ning the most.It is said that a woman with superior martial arts is definitely not so easy to fall ill. "Then, if she is Miss Ling, how can she be so weak because of fatigue during the journey?" "Besides, this female guest is in the front room. If it is Miss Ling, she should recognize my voice. Even if she is in the When you are sick, you will show up to say hello to me, right?" "I'm afraid that man will not be Brother Zhan. If it is Brother Zhan, he will go on a horse, why is he not coming back at this time?" Tie Ning thought left and right. Think, doubt.I want to visit that female guest, but I am afraid that I will admit the wrong person and make a joke. In fact, Tie Ning's mood is very contradictory. She hopes to see Zhan Bocheng, but she is afraid that the siblings are really Chu Baoling and Zhan Bocheng. One must know that Tie Ning was at the age when love first started, and Zhan Bocheng was the first person to break into her girl's heart. This young love seedling only grows stronger day by day, and it can't be eradicated even if you want to.So even though Tie Ning had sincerely blessed Zhan Bocheng when he broke up with Zhan Bocheng, wishing him and Chu Baoling to be reconciled as before.But after they separated, they were worried again, eager to see him again.It was precisely because of this that when she went back to Jinji Ridge and met her father, she only stayed for a few days, and then she came down the mountain under the pretext of looking for her brother. It was precisely because of this that deep in her heart, she was really afraid that the siblings were really Zhan Bocheng and Chu Baoling.She knew from the servants that the relationship between the siblings was very good, and the younger brother was even more considerate to the elder sister.Last night, the elder sister fell ill, and the younger brother waited in the room until midnight.After hearing the news, Tie Ning was both happy and sad. On the one hand, Tie Ning felt that Chu Baoling's situation was pitiful, but on the other hand, she still couldn't understand the relationship between Chu Baoling and Liu Mang. In her heart, she still faintly felt "unjust" for her brother Zhan, and felt that Chu Baoling was "injustice". Not good enough" her big brother Zhan. Tie Ning's mind was full of thoughts, and the past few months she spent with Zhan Bocheng recurred in her mind. After thinking about it, Tie Ning felt insane. In the room opposite her, Chu Baoling was also distraught.However, she didn't know that Tie Ning also fell in love with Zhan Bocheng. She didn't want to meet Tie Ning to avoid causing trauma in her heart.But she thought again: "Xiao Chengzi will always come back, and when Xiao Chengzi comes back, he will always meet Tie Ning. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to meet her again at that time?" It was getting dark, and Zhan Bocheng hadn't come back yet.Chu Baoling started to panic, and only then did she want to discuss it with Tie Ning.While thinking about it, he suddenly heard a soft sigh coming from Tie Ning's room. Chu Baoling was secretly amused, and thought: "This little girl doesn't know what's on her mind, she's alone, sighing?" One must know that in Chu Baoling's mind, Tie Ning has always been regarded as a naive little girl who doesn't understand the sorrows of the world.At this moment, hearing Tie Ning's sigh aroused her curiosity and surprised her. After a sigh, Tie Ning could only hear Tie Ning calling in a low voice: "Brother Zhan, Brother Zhan." Chu Baoling heard it, her heart trembled, and she thought: "I only thought she came to find her brother, but it turned out that she missed him. It's Xiao Chengzi." Chu Baoling quietly slipped out of the room and walked to the back window of Tie Ning's room.There are several plantains planted in the patio, and the banana leaves cover the windows, like a natural curtain.At this moment, Tie Ning was thinking leisurely, as dazed as a dream, and did not notice that someone was eavesdropping outside the window at all. Tie Ning muttered to herself: "Brother Zhan, Brother Zhan! How do you know what's on my mind!" Chu Baoling peeked in, and saw Tie Ning resting her cheek on one hand, and stretching out a finger on the table with her right hand. Wipe, as if writing one stroke at a time. Chu Baoling looked at it for a while, and then realized that she was indeed "writing" the characters on the table with her fingers, and she wrote the words "Zhan Bocheng" all over the place! At this time, Chu Baoling understood everything.Tie Ning didn't need to tell her what was on her mind, she already knew it.Tie Ning is not the little girl she imagined who doesn't understand anything, Tie Ning has grown into a young girl, she has begun to understand love and needs love. Chu Baoling quietly stood in front of the window, thinking for a while.Tie Ning has already written more than a dozen names of Zhan Bocheng on the window.When the evening wind blew, Chu Baoling woke up like a dream, and suddenly thought: "It's getting dark, Xiao Chengzi is coming back soon, I should go too." When Chu Baoling walked out of the shop, the shopkeeper was a little surprised, and said, "Girl, are you feeling better? Brother Ling hasn't come back yet, so I'm afraid he was delayed at the doctor's house. You don't have to worry, I think he will come back in a while." You should rest early." The shopkeeper only said that she was anxiously waiting and came out to look forward to her brother. Chu Baoling said: "Lend me your pen and paper." She didn't answer the shopkeeper's words at all, took the pen and paper from the counter, wrote a few lines of letters in a hurry, folded them, and said, "If it's dark After that, my younger brother hasn't come back yet, please give this letter to the lady in the room opposite me." Throwing down the letter, he went out. The shopkeeper was taken aback and said, "Girl, where are you going?" Chu Baoling said, "I'm going out for a walk." The shopkeeper stopped her and said, "Girl, you haven't recovered much, how can you go out?" : "Don't worry about it!" The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "How dare a villain restrain the girl, but my younger brother told us to serve you carefully. If you go out, if he comes back, don't you blame me?" The shopkeeper only said that Chu Baoling wanted to go out to relax, but He didn't dare to let her out. Chu Baoling was feeling depressed, when she saw the shopkeeper repeatedly blocking her, she couldn't help getting angry, and said angrily, "If I say I don't want you to take care of it, then don't let me do it!" She gently pushed the shopkeeper away! Although Chu Baoling was ill, and even though it was just a light slap, the shopkeeper couldn't take it anymore, and with a "slap", he fell backwards. The two servants in the inn dragged the fat shopkeeper up with one holding hands and the other lifted his feet, only to see that Chu Baoling had already mounted her bay red horse and was leaving in the mist! The fat shopkeeper stood up, Xuexue cried out in pain.The boy smiled and said, "It's just such a light push, you can't take it anymore. Don't worry, I've seen it for you, and you're not injured." The shopkeeper was surprised and annoyed at the same time, and said : "It's really evil. A little girl and a sick person has such great strength. I don't know if her illness is real or not. Hmph, if I knew this, I wouldn't have to stop her." However, although the shopkeeper was annoyed, he got ten taels of silver from Zhan Bocheng, so he didn't dare to get angry, he just complained a few words behind his back, and he didn't dare to neglect Chu Baoling's entrustment, so he ordered the boy immediately Said: "You send this letter to the female guest who came just now." The boy smiled and said: "I don't need to send it, you see, she has already come." But Tie Ning scratched the names of "Zhan Bocheng" seventeen or eight times on the cases, and she was hurting herself, when suddenly she heard rustling sounds.Tie Ning was startled, and shouted, "Who's outside?" Opening the window, he saw banana leaves catching the wind and treetops moving slightly.It turned out that Chu Baoling was walking in a hurry and accidentally touched the plantain, but when Tie Ning opened the window to look around, there was no one there. Tie Ning became suspicious, and thought: "The sound just now, doesn't it sound like the wind blowing banana leaves?" When he looked around, he saw the guest room across the courtyard, the window was open, the bead curtain was half rolled up, and it was quiet. Quietly, there was no sound. Tie Ning thought to herself: "Could it be that female guest who came just now? Whether she is Chu Baoling or not, I'll go over and take a sneak peek." Deep in Tie Ning's heart, she was very reluctant to see that the pair of "siblings" were Zhan Bocheng and Chu Baoling. It was precisely because she wanted to avoid this fact that she never dared to reveal the mystery.But at this moment, since she had doubts, she also thought that if it was true, she would always be unable to avoid it, so she made up her mind and went to uncover the answer. Tie Ning leaned close to the window and looked in.At this time Chu Baoling had already left, where else was there?Tie Ning was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself: "The boy said that the lady guest is very ill, but where is she going?" Tie Ning couldn't help being curious, so she came out and asked the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper said with a smile: "So you guys have known each other for a long time, but I didn't know." Tie Ning said in amazement, "How do you know that I knew her? I don't know if I knew her yet?" The shopkeeper said: "She left a letter for you, you can read it first." Tie Ning opened it, and first looked at the signature on the back, it really was the word "Baoling".Even though Tie Ning had already expected it to be her, when she saw her handwritten handwriting, her heart couldn't help beating wildly. I don't know if it was joy or sorrow? Chu Baoling's letter only had a few simple sentences, telling Tie Ning that Zhan Bocheng had gone to invite a doctor. If Zhan Bocheng did not come back after dark, he would ask Tie Ning to find out the doctor's address. , you can ask the shopkeeper. Tie Ning smiled wryly and said, "Sure enough, we know each other." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would she leave a letter to you? But your friend is a bit strange. I don't understand either." Why didn't she meet with you, but left a letter for you?" Tie Ning asked, "How long has she been gone?" The shopkeeper said, "It's less than half a stick of incense." Tie Ning said, "Do you know where she went?" The shopkeeper asked with a wry smile, "How do I know?" Tie Ning said: "Don't you know which direction you are going?" The boy said: "The shopkeeper gave that girl a slap and pushed her down to the ground. I dare say he is still dizzy." Tie Ning laughed and said, "No wonder you don't know." The boy said, "She rode away on horseback, and disappeared like a gust of wind. I was busy helping the shopkeeper up, but I don't know which way she went." Tie Ning hesitated, thinking: "It's getting dark, brother Zhan is probably coming back soon. Should I go after Miss Ling first? Or wait for Brother Zhan to come back first? There are three forked roads here, and I don't know where Miss Ling is going. Which one is it?" Press Tie Ning and don't show it for the time being.Let's say that after Chu Baoling left this small town, her heart became more and more at a loss.She thought of the fat shopkeeper asking her: "Where are you going?" She smiled wryly.Because even she herself didn't know where she was going?Although the world is big, there seems to be no place to live!She didn't want to see Zhan Bocheng again, and she didn't want to go to Xia Houying to find Liu Mang.Are you going back to your hometown?But he was also afraid that Zhan Bocheng and Tie Ning would follow after him. In the twilight, she walked aimlessly for a while.Suddenly the sound of hooves was heard, and three fast horses came in front.Chu Baoling looked up and couldn't help being surprised.The rider walking in front is none other than the "seven-step soul chaser" Sha Tieshan.The two people following him were his co-pilots Qiu Ao and Bao Tai. It turned out that Sha Tieshan didn't dare to stay in Yangzhou because he was afraid that Kong Konger would find him bad luck.Since that day when he fought with Zhou Tong's Haihe Gang and suffered both losses, his ally Dou Yuan's subordinates were annexed by the government army, and he was going to start a new stove in the north and leave first.Sha Tieshan originally wanted to attach himself to the army, but he was afraid that Kong Kong'er would be too strong and the army would not be able to protect him, so he followed him across the river, intending to continue to partner with Dou Yuan.He planned to stay in this small town tonight, so he happened to run into Chu Baoling. Sha Tieshan laughed loudly and said: "I was worrying about not having a gift for Brother Dou, but you girl bumped into me. It's a pity that the boy surnamed Zhan didn't join you." Qiu Ao laughed and said: "This girl is very pretty. I'm afraid Brother Dou would like him more than that boy surnamed Zhan." Sha Tieshan laughed and said: "Okay, then you will take her down for me." Sha Tieshan wanted to maintain his status as the leader of the gang, knowing that his two deputy gang leaders would definitely be able to deal with Chu Baoling, so he didn't bother to do it himself . Qiu Ao and Bao Tai slapped their horses and attacked Chu Baoling.Bao Tai arrived first, and chopped down with a knife.Sha Tieshan shouted: "Don't hurt people, and don't hurt horses!" You must know that Chu Baoling's mount is a rare horse. As early as in Yangzhou, Sha Tieshan had already wanted to take her mount. Bao Tai replied: "Yes!" The saber hooked obliquely, trying to knock down Chu Baoling's green steel sword.Chu Baoling made a "hide in the stirrup", gritted her silver teeth fiercely, and stabbed out with a sword. Bao Tai is the third best player in the Soul Chasing Gang, if Chu Baoling is not ill, he can slightly beat him.At this moment, he was powerless, with a sound of "dang", the green steel sword was knocked down by him.But Chu Baoling took advantage of the mount, Bao Tai was about to switch hands to grab her, Chu Baoling's mount rushed forward. Qiu Ao blocked him head-on, and shouted: "Get off the horse!" With a "hoo", a long loop of rope was thrown out. Qiu Ao was originally a horse thief and was good at trapping horses with ropes.Chu Baoling slapped out with one palm, but unfortunately her strength was almost exhausted, even though she was using a superior palm technique, she couldn't swing the rope circle.The bay red horse let out a long neigh and bent its hooves to the ground, it was caught in Qiu Ao's noose. Chu Baoling threw up on the horse and fell to the ground.Bao Tai laughed loudly, jumped off his horse, and said, "You girl, do you still want to run?" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the tinkling of bells, and the sound of horseshoes approaching from far away, and then faintly. And now, it came very fast. Sha Tieshan was taken aback, and shouted: "Which group of friends are they?" He heard the tinkling of copper bells, and thought it was a caravan.Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw only two riders, one male and one female.The woman in the red dress was decorated with many small copper bells the size of fingers. The fast horse galloped, and the copper bells swayed, as if a caravan with horse bells was coming. Seeing that there were only two people, Sha Tieshan didn't take it seriously.He shouted: "The Soul Chaser Gang is here to arrest people, you can just pass by, don't mind your own business." Chu Baoling fell to the ground and jumped up immediately.Although she is ill, she can still perform lightness kung fu, but her strength is weak, far worse than usual.But Bao Tai's weakest is lightness kung fu, so in his urgency, he has not been able to catch her. Seeing this scene, the woman let out a "huh" and said, "Isn't that Chu Sui's granddaughter?" She suddenly shouted, "What do you care about the Soul Chaser Gang? This injustice is settled!" He flicked a copper bell with two fingers and flew towards Bao Tai. It turns out that the man and the woman are the well-known husband and wife duo Dugu Yu and Lu Hongqiu.Liu Mang's father, Liu Zhen, Xia Houying, and Dugu Yu were friends of eight worshippers, and it was Dugu Yu who planned the Panlong Valley treasure robbery for Liu Zhen. After the robbery failed, Dugu Yu and his family fled to his brother Xia Houying.Xia Houying was worried because Liu Mang had been away for several months and had no news, so she asked Dugu Yu and his wife to go to Liu Mang's uncle Mu An to find out the news.Of course the couple knew the relationship between Chu Baoling and Liu Mang, how could they allow Chu Baoling to be bullied! Lu Hongqiu's temper was as fierce as fire, and he was the first to attack.She has a nickname in the Jianghu, known as "Golden Bell Lady".The small copper bells adorned on her clothes are her unique hidden weapons. Let's say that Bao Tai was about to catch up with Chu Baoling, when suddenly he heard a clanging sound, Lu Hongqiu's unique hidden weapon had already been hit.The concealed weapon that originally made a sound was equivalent to giving the enemy a warning in advance, but Bao Tai still couldn't dodge it, the tiger's mouth joint was hit by the copper bell, and with a "clang", the sword was released from his hand.A right arm is already unable to move. It was too late, but soon, Dugu Yu and his wife dismounted, Lu Hongqiu ran to protect Chu Baoling, and Dugu Yu intercepted Qiu Ao. Qiu Ao's martial arts was second only to Sha Tieshan, the leader of their gang. Seeing that Dugu Yu was a handsome scholar, he didn't take it too seriously. Unexpectedly, Dugu Yu's ability is even higher than that of his wife, when Qiu Ao struck with a knife, he used the folding fan in his hand as a weapon, opened the folding fan, flicked it lightly, and used the Chinese character "unloading", instantly knocking Qiu Ao's body away. The thick-backed Kaishan knife moved aside.Qiu Ao was taken aback, he pierced the tip of the knife with all his strength, and with a stance of "Li Guang shot the stone", the tip of the knife pierced straight through like an arrow. Dugu Yu closed the folding fan and pressed it on the back of his saber, a small folding fan was pressing on the back of his saber, like a huge boulder weighing a thousand catties, Qiu Ao's sword almost fell out of his hand.Qiu Ao's face was flushed, and he used the move "Yacha explores the sea", and managed to take back the sword.Dugu Yu immediately stepped forward, using the folding fan as a judge's pen, and tapped his acupoints. Qiu Ao used his life's skills to dance the big knife so that the wind and rain could not be seen, and resolved Dugu Yu's three consecutive acupuncture points.It's just that after three moves, he was already sweating profusely and panting like a cow. Although Qiu Ao was surprised, Dugu Yu was also a little surprised.He thought to himself: "I don't know the origin of this group of robbers? Their leader's martial arts is unknown, but as far as this person is concerned, he can be regarded as a role in the underworld. No wonder niece Baoling wants to suffer from them." Duguyu didn't know the origin of the members of the Soul Chasing Gang, but Sha Tieshan had already guessed his origin.Dugu Yu is the only person who uses folding fans as acupuncture weapons in the Jianghu. Sha Tieshan has been famous for a long time, but he is not afraid of martial arts.So he immediately jumped off the horse and shouted: "Is the iron fan scholar Dugu Yu the one who came here? I don't want to cross the river with you. Why did you come to take advantage of this muddy water?" Dugu Yu said angrily: "Hmph, you are only allowed to be tyrannical, but you are not allowed to fight against injustices?" Sha Tieshan said: "Okay, since you are determined to do this, I will come to meet you, a hero who fights against injustices." Sha Tieshan challenged Duguyu in the pass, but his figure suddenly rushed towards Lu Hongqiu and Chu Baoling.He intends to capture Chu Baoling in his hands so that he can be invincible first.He saw that Lu Hongqiu was easier to deal with, but he still had some concerns about her hidden weapons, so he decided to use the strategy of "striking from east to west", to surprise her and attack her unpreparedness. Lu Hongqiu was on guard, his brows were raised upside down, and he scolded: "Shameless bastard, hit it!" He raised his hand, and flew out the five copper bells that were clasped in his palm to hit the five acupuncture points of Shatieshan. Sha Tieshan slapped out his palm, and the wind whistled in his palm. Five small copper bells collided with each other, and a series of crisp bells sounded like playing music.Sha Tieshan laughed and said: "Pearls of rice grains also shine!" Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, a copper bell flew over like a meteorite, and Sha Tieshan nodded suddenly, the copper bell almost rubbed His scalp flew over. It turns out that Lu Hongqiu's concealed weapon technique is unique, very weird, after colliding with each other, they turn around and still fly towards them.If Sha Tieshan hadn't dodged in time, the copper bell would have hit him in the temple. Sha Tieshan shouted angrily: "Stinky bitch, you can hurt people with hidden weapons. Hmph, I'm not afraid of you!" But just as he was about to rush towards Lu Hongqiu, he suddenly heard Qiu Ao scream, It turned out that the folding fan given to Dugu Yu cut his finger.Dugu Yu's fan is inlaid with sharp steel sheets on both sides, which can be used as a judge's pen or as a five-element swordsman.Qiu Ao devoted all his attention to his acupoint acupuncture, but unexpectedly avoided his acupoint acupuncture, but he couldn't avoid his sudden sword move. Dugu Yu's folding fan was slashing upwards against the back of his saber. Went off a finger.Although it's just a finger, it's not a big deal.But as the saying goes, "Ten fingers return to the heart", Qiu Ao was in so much pain that he couldn't help crying out. When Sha Tieshan came to see Lv Hongqiu, he was already on guard, thinking that even if he could beat her, it would only be after thirty or fifty strokes; secondly, he didn't know how hurt Qiu Ao was, Qiu Ao was his most powerful assistant, if he Seeing that he was injured and still not going to rescue him, wouldn't it chill the hearts of his subordinates?So Sha Tieshan had no choice but to change his mind, turned around and attacked Duguyu. Dugu Yu looked around and listened to all directions, how could he allow him to plot?Both of them were fast, and just when a "big handprint" of Sha Tieshan was about to imprint Dugu Yu's back, Dugu Yu pointed his backhand, and aimed at the "big handprint" in Sha Tieshan's palm. Laogong Cave". Sha Tieshan stepped sideways, turned his palm into a grasp, and grabbed his shoulder.Dugu Yu snapped his fan, turned around, and cut off his fingers.Sha Tieshan is known as the "seven-step chasing soul", every time he takes a step, he changes his palm style, and his skills are really extremely agile.As soon as the grasp failed, he immediately moved and changed hands. The move that Sha Tieshan changed was a method of splitting tendons and bones, used for close hand-to-hand combat, and it was extremely domineering.Dugu Yu shouted, "Good time!" With a shake of his figure, he folded his folding fan, not giving in at all, but took a step forward, and quickly tapped Shatieshan's "temple". At this time, the two sides are about to meet, if everyone's tricks do not fail, one of Dugu Yu's left arms will be broken by Sha Tieshan, and Sha Tieshan's "temple" will also be pointed at him.A broken arm is nothing but a disability, but the "temple" is one of the fatal points of the human body, and it must not be hit by the enemy. Sha Tieshan's ability is also really good, just in the moment of this crisis, he changed his body and body again, circling, sprinted past Dugu Yu, and even slapped him. This palm is the "cotton palm" kung fu, soft but firm, when the skill is deep, it can strike stones like powder.Dugu Yu's folding fan was empty, and he could only receive the move with his left palm. The two people's skills were originally comparable, but the strength of Dugu Yu's left palm was not as strong as Sha Tieshan's right palm, and he pushed him two steps away. The two exchanged several moves like lightning and lightning, each move was a life-and-death struggle, extremely thrilling.At this moment, the two sides merged and then separated, thinking of the dangerous place just now, both of them couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Qiu Ao was also stunned, Sha Tieshan shouted: "Hurry up, let's kill him together." Sha Tieshan originally said that he wanted to fight Dugu Yu alone. At this time, he thought that he could not fight against Dugu Yu alone, so he had to live up to his preface and asked Qiu Ao to join forces with him regardless of his status as the leader of the gang. At the beginning of Qu Ran's province, Qiu Aofang hurriedly handed over the saber to his left hand, and rushed up to attack Dugu Yu with Sha Tieshan.Comparing Sha Tieshan's martial arts with Dugu Yu's, they each have their own strengths and are comparable.Adding Qiu Ao is of course a big advantage.Fortunately, Qiu Ao injured his right hand, and his left hand's sword skills were imperceptibly compromised.Although Dugu Yu is at a disadvantage, he can still handle it. Bao Tai slapped Lu Hongqiu's brass bell, hid aside and rubbed it. At this time, his arm was able to recover.He didn't dare to provoke Lu Hongqiu again, and he was embarrassed to stand by and watch, so he picked up the knife and went up to join in the siege of Dugu Yu.He was making a wishful thinking, firstly, with three enemies and one, he must have a chance of winning, secondly, if Lu Hongqiu attacked with a hidden weapon, he would have his elder brother and second elder brother to deal with it. Lu Hongqiu helped Chu Baoling up, and seeing her sickly face, he was surprised, and said, "Miss Chu, can you still ride a horse?" Chu Baoling said, "I guess it's okay." 吕鸿秋道：“好，那么你上马先走，在前面等我，我随后就来。”褚葆龄那一匹坐骑颈上套着绳圈，但因无人拉紧绳圈，对它也就并无妨害。此时它已走到主人的身边。 褚葆龄自知不堪再战，恐怕要连累他们分神照顾，只好听吕鸿秋的话上马先走。吕鸿秋拔出了柳叶刀，冷笑道：“好呀，你们这伙下三滥的臭强盗，想要恃多为胜，且叫你们知道我的厉害！” 吕鸿秋用“天女散花”手法打出九颗铜铃，跟着又是九颗，三颗三颗一组，分打对方三人的上中下三处穴道。吕鸿秋的本领不是第一流，但她的暗器手法却是一等一的功夫。 这一来登时把沙、仇、鲍三人的合围之势打乱。沙铁山使出“移形换位”的奇妙步法，或接或避，使得吕鸿秋打向他的六颗铜铃全都落空。仇敖把大刀舞得风雨不透，他还可以应付过去。鲍泰可就惨了，他本来是想倚仗大哥二哥给他抵挡的，哪知吕鸿秋用了这么一个打法，沙、仇二人自顾不暇，哪里还能顾他？铃声叮当，勾魂慑魄，鲍泰心乱意乱更手忙脚乱，他使出浑身解数，只顾得了防护穴道，却不料一颗铜铃忽地朝着他的面门打来，“当”的一声，将他的两齿门牙打落，登时把鲍泰变成了个滚地葫芦。这倒不是那颗小小的铜铃的力量将他击倒的，而是因为他害怕后面的铜铃再来打他的穴道，故而只好不顾体面，自己把自己变成了个滚地葫芦，以便避开暗器的。 仇敖大怒，喝道：“臭婆娘，就只懂得暗器伤人！”挥舞大刀，冲上去便向吕鸿秋猛斫，意图近身搏斗，使她腾不出手来发放暗器。 吕鸿秋冷笑道：“好，我就与你比一比刀。你这把大刀也未必吓得了人！” 吕鸿秋用的是柳叶刀，长不过三尺，锋刃不到两指之宽。仇敖那把大刀却有七尺多长，三十六斤之重，伊如“关帝庙”里周仓捧的那把大刀。 仇敖恃着刀重力沉，呼呼呼连劈数刀，满以为只要吕鸿秋的柳叶刀给他碰着，就一定会给他打落。哪知吕鸿秋的柳叶刀虽然短小，使起来却是灵活之极。仇敖非但不能打落她的兵刃，反而给她迫得有点手忙脚乱。 仇敖是追魂帮中的第二把好手，武功本来不弱，与吕鸿秋相较，一个胜在气力沉雄，一个胜在刀法灵活，本来也是各有千秋。但仇敖一来吃亏在从未见过吕鸿秋的这路刀法。二来更吃亏的是他给独孤宇削掉了右手的一截指头，如今用的是“左手刀”，刀法固然不够纯熟，气力也打了折扣。 激战中吕鸿秋一招“彩凤夺窝”，欺身进迫，刀尖直刺他的心窝。仇敖刀长，必须退后几步，才能横刀封她。吕鸿秋刀锋电转，“上手刀”倏的改为“下手刀”，唰的一刀，就刺中了他的大腿，仇敖一声大吼，登、登、登的接连退出了六七步。幸而他退得快，吕鸿秋的气力也弱，这一刀刺得不深，但仇敖已是不敢恋战。 沙铁山与独孤宇的武功各有所长，斗得仍在相持不下。但鲍泰受伤，仇敖败走，剩下沙铁山一人，当然亦已是无心恋战了。 吕鸿秋斥道：“你们这些下三滥的臭贼，若还为非作恶，下次碰上了我，决不轻饶。”她记挂着褚葆龄，当然也是无暇去追他们的了。 沙铁山这伙人跑了之后，独孤宇夫妇俩跨上坐骑，赶忙去找褚葆龄。独孤宇途中笑道：“那两个使刀的汉子也还罢了，和我对敌的那个大胡子，武功颇是不弱，我看他们应该是有点来头的人物，恐怕不能说是下三滥的小贼呢。” 吕鸿秋道：“他们三条大汉，欺负一个小姑娘，管他武功再高，也是下三滥的臭贼。我说他们是'臭'贼，不是说他们是'小贼'。” 独孤宇外号“铁扇书生”，喜欢掉两句文，笑道：“不错，一字之诛，严于斧钺。你说得有理，他们是一班臭贼。但却不知褚姑娘是怎么惹上了这班臭贼的？” 吕鸿秋道：“我倒在奇怪，刘芒为什么不是与她一道？若是他们两人同在一起，她也不至于吃这么大的亏了。嗯，已经见着她了，咱们这就上去问她吧。” 褚葆龄意外地碰上了独孤宇夫妇，不由得心意彷徨，情怀历乱。“独孤宇是刘芒的叔叔，我若果跟他们夫妻一起，将来总是难以避免和刘芒见面。”褚葆龄心想，而她又正是不愿意再见刘芒。 褚葆龄正自心乱如麻，独孤宇夫妇已经来到。吕鸿秋见她双颊火红，吃了一惊，说道：“褚姑娘，你的病似乎很不轻呢？”褚葆龄道：“不，我已经觉得好多了。”独孤宇道：“你下来，我给你诊一把脉。” 独孤宇颇通脉理，诊断之后，说道：“你可是感到有点郁闷么？”褚葆龄不能否认，只好点了点头。独孤宇道：“这就对了。你这病是由于内忧外感加上疲劳所至。病倒没有什么紧要，只要心中开朗，调养几天，也就好了。我有自制的小还丹，功能固本培原，你吃一颗，可以不必另服其他的药。” 独孤宇夫妻是知道她的家破人亡之事的，只道她是为了爷爷之死所受的刺激，殊不知道虽是原因之一，却并非全部原因。 吕鸿秋颇感诧异，问道：“此地离穆家庄不到百里，听说前天是穆庄主的花甲大寿，你想必是到过穆家庄拜寿的了？你有没有见着刘芒？” 褚葆龄咬着嘴唇，忍着眼泪，说道：“见着了！”吕鸿秋更是奇怪，说道：“刘芒是怎么搞的？不将你留下，又不和你同走？好，咱们一同到穆家庄去，我倒要问一问他！”正是： How about knowing the future?Please listen to the breakdown next time.
