Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

The iron flute Zu Wang and the heroine Nanman, under the pseudonym Yirenying Wushuang, completed disaster relief work in the provincial capital of Jinan, Shandong, and then met the heroine Yan Wenying who came from Jianzhong Xintaoyuan, and defeated the bandits in the forest of the king's grave , On the road overnight.On the way, Tie and Nan saw that Wen Ying was apprehensive, and he didn't finish his sentence. He was afraid of being discovered, and he was about to rush past Sanyanggang and Sun Zhuang before he felt relieved, as if there was something hard to say.At the same time, I remembered that although there was a gang of thieves in Sanyang prison before, they left as early as last year, and even the thieves' nests were destroyed.Although there is an ancient temple in the bamboo forest on the shallow slope at the end of the ravine, there are only two old nuns in it, one is disabled and the other is also deaf.Sun Shangyou's father, the owner of Sunzhuang, is eighty years old. Everyone calls him Grand Duke. He is a famous martial artist. There are many people in his clan, and he is quite peaceful. Suspicious points are all irrelevant, so I don't care about them.It's been less than a year since Wen Ying left the mountain, and it's only been half a month since he came to Shandong and back, how did he get to know people from these two places?Puzzled, he suddenly noticed a little spark passing by in the open field on the side, and when he circled forward, another spark met with it.Just when he saw that it was a road, he suddenly heard someone behind him speaking. Wenying remembered what his senior and other people said last night, the two thieves, Shuangdisha and Little Meteor. A special lamp was hung on the tree, and people fled away early.The village where the three of them were planning to stay was in the southwest, and the distance was not far away. Mars suddenly appeared in the northwest sky, and they met twice, disappearing after a flash, knowing that they could not catch up.

Heroes Tie and Nan felt that the bandit Tong Jinhai seemed to be let go by Wenying intentionally, which was strange. At this moment, she suddenly spoke passionately, with a sad and indignant expression, like when she first started on the road, she was guarding against prying eyes, as if someone was waiting for her in the future, and she was afraid of bumping into her. , I wish I could take advantage of the wind and snow and rush over this difficulty in the middle of the night. The expression is very different, and it is even more strange.Nan Man inquired for a while, and realized that it was Wen Ying's revenge for killing his mother. Maybe the dogs and men had already found Wen Ying when the king's tomb got up. Fight back, escape so fast.Suspected that it was the stranger who had spoken just now who scared him away.Tie Dizi thought carefully about Wen Ying's tone, as if he had been ordered by his master to kill his relatives with his own hands, and the stranger behind the tree said to chase after him quickly, but he didn't feel like it.Seeing that Qiantu Xiaocun was approaching, he persuaded Wenying, took out the lamp tube, and sent a signal to the southwest sky, calling the golden-eyed black eagle to come, fed some food, and ordered to find out where the dogs and men were going.

Wen Yingben was disturbed when he saw the black eagle standing on Nanman's bend, it was as tall as half a person, it looked mighty, and its sex was dexterous. Although a young girl who was new to the world was clever and quick-witted, she was a bit naive after all, she loved her so much that she couldn't help it Come closer.Later, seeing such a ferocious eagle despite being petted, it was very docile and did not resist at all. On the contrary, it was very affectionate, and was even more pleasantly surprised. He was full of praise and had a few words with Nanman.Nanman lifted his left arm slightly, and the eagle immediately shot towards the sky, spread its wings suddenly, and soared straight up to the sky, and when it reached the sky, it began to open its two golden eyes, and saw two stars the size of mung beans flashing twice in the shadows , then disappeared.When Wen Ying saw it coming, it was like a black cloud flying down, its urgency was like lightning, and its castration was so fast, the two bird claws were like steel hooks, the rise and fall would not hurt the owner, it was extremely slight, one inch taller than a human head Two zhang square spread its wings, and a big tree beside the road was shaken up and down at the same time. The ice and snow flew like rain, and the sound was like jade.

Tie and Nan saw that she was still a girl with high ability and innocent, so they liked her more and more, and said with a smile: "Not far from the side is Huangmao Village, although there are only eight or nine families there, the residents are very poor. With my generous donations, all the silver and rice they got was buried in the ground because of the desolation of the terrain. They all worked hard, and they were reluctant to eat good food. On the surface, they were still very poor. Thanks to the fact that this remote area has been destroyed by us recently Entrusted to take care of it, it is separated from two large villages and towns, and it is close to capable thieves. They are both intimate with the two of us, and it is much safer to go to the hotel than those big town hotels. They are my eyes and ears, and you will know as soon as you arrive." Wen Ying replied with a smile: "I have been pretending to be a senior brother all the way. Sister, people think that I am one of you, and I have already received a lot of care, otherwise, I might have been detained before arriving in Jinan, but it is still difficult to see me today, and I will miss it when I come and go."

Nanman thought of the past, and wanted to inquire again, when he caught a glimpse of another spark in the woods of the future, but it was not very bright.All three of them have amazing abilities, and they are alert. They caught a glimpse of the Mars swaying in the forest on the left, only two or three zhang apart, and immediately stopped talking. The truth has already been seen before arriving under the tree.Nanman was about to laugh and scold, but the iron flute came first, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Sister Nan, there is still something here, which is not left by the enemy. Let me see it." It is a small fire rope as thin as a finger. One end is hung on a tree branch, fluttering with the wind. There is a small cloth bag attached to it. I quickly take the lamp tube and turn my back to the northwest to illuminate it. It is about two inches long and one inch in radius. .It said: "Be cautious in your words and deeds, and get up overnight. The powerful enemy in the mountains is coming, so don't worry about it outside." At the bottom is a moon shadow with one corner missing.Tie and Nan thought there was a reason, and when they opened the cloth bag again, they found two small tin bottles inside, with paper pasted on the outside, indicating the usage.The red medicinal powder is designed to detoxify all kinds of poisons and all kinds of poisonous fragrances. Even if a person is unconscious, if a little bit is blown into the nostrils, after a sneeze, he wakes up at that time.The yellow pill can calm the mind, quench thirst and promote body fluid, and heal internal injuries.The method of making the bottle is also very clever. The red bottle is shaped like a gourd, with two circles in the center, and the powder can be sprayed out when you press your finger.The yellow bottle is shaped like a firecracker, and it also has an organic spring. You can take as much medicine as you want, and it is all fragrant.

Seeing that no name was left on the note, Tie and Nan were discussing in low voices, when Wen Ying suddenly said pleasantly, "I understand."The two hurriedly asked: "Who is this?" Wenying looked around, first pulled the two to an open place on the road, and whispered: "This is a female swordsman who is two generations older than us, senior brother, Sister Nan wants to hear Uncle Qi and Auntie say that the last word of her name is the same as mine, so she should know." Hearing this, the two were pleasantly surprised: "Plum blossoms in June, we really didn't expect her The old man is taking care of us in secret, it's a pity that we never met face to face."

Wenying replied quietly: "I don't know why I've been so confused recently. The stranger last night was obviously different from others, and she spoke with a female voice. She looked very fond of me. Because she was dressed as a man, when she held my hand, she met my relative. Resisting, still angry, only when the other party is a man, the little sister's traces have been seen through, not feeling powerless to resist, a little surprised in my heart, the other party looks like a young man, with bright eyes, what he said does not seem to be malicious, almost Move your hands. Because of the misunderstanding, I was angry for a while, but I heard that there was a reason for what I said, so I didn't go to the appointment. I went to see her on the detour according to what she said, and later saw that everything she said came true. Fang Shi came to his senses, hurried away, and the person was no longer there. He only heard from others that there was a young guest who had been waiting at his house for a while, and when he left, he left a message to tell me. Only then did he realize that there was an enemy in front of him. I was young and energetic, in order to guard against danger from a narrow road, although I gave a warning, I did not reveal the name of my enemy. It was not until I saw sparks flickering on the way just now, and recalled that the previous relationship was consistent with what I said, only then did I know that the person in the two sparks was actually a match. The men and women who murdered my mother. My little sister has been grieved for many years, and it is so easy to meet here. She cannot avenge her revenge alone, and it may be dangerous. Cha just followed behind secretly. Listening to her first utterance, it is clear that it is not hopeless to catch up with the dogs and men and women to avenge their hatred. For some reason, the enemy fled far away. She never showed up, and she didn't make a move. Telling us to be cautious in words and deeds, to go back to the mountain as soon as possible, and not to be too busy, it is really incomprehensible. It is so sad that the golden opportunity is neglected by the little sister for a while, and it is unintentional to miss it!"

Nanman walked all the way, and saw that although Wenying was wise and brave, he was very naive, gentle and straightforward with people, always smiling, suddenly so sad and angry, knowing that he remembered his mother's feud, sad and remorseful, so he smiled and persuaded him. Said: "With the power of June Mei, killing these two thieves is easy. I think she has different meanings before and after, and there must be some reasons inside. She wants you to kill your relatives and fulfill the will of your mother and teacher, and later because of this time There are still scruples, or you have scruples after passing the area just now, and it is no longer the place to do it, so I leave a letter to dissuade you. You have a lot of things that you haven't said yet. Let me first say that the two places are just ahead, and the distance is only thirty or forty miles. I don't know. Whether it is related or not. Now both the enemy and us are on alert, I am not looking for him, he is also looking for me, coincidentally these two dogs and men are still looking for our new Taoyuan, since they are caught in the trap, they are all concerned, at least half a year later we will leave the mountain together, What a powerful villain, even eight brothers and sisters like you and the eyes and ears all over the place can find it, and you are not afraid of him flying into the sky, why are you so miserable?"

Wenying pondered for a while, and replied in a low voice: "Sister Nan is right. Master is not counted as a dog or a man. Even his master disappeared early, and he hasn't come out for a long time. The world is so big, such sneaky villains, I don't care about them." A single woman, and I have never seen him. My aunt still refuses to say his appearance. She only said that his appearance has changed over the years, and his name and nickname are often changed. It is clear that you have practiced the Tao for many years, and there are poor people everywhere as your eyes and ears. This is incalculably greater than one person's ability, and you can do anything. It is useless to be anxious, so please brother and sister Nan Let's help you brothers and sisters at any time." Tie Dizi paid attention along the way, saw that the last section was an open snow field, what the second daughter said would not be heard, and her voice was low, so she didn't ask.

Seeing that he was about to turn into the small road of Huangmao Village after walking a couple of zhang, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow flying from the slant, not tall, and at the same time, he heard a very slight chirping of eagles in the air, and he could hear it. The eagle flew very fast, and the three of them were on guard immediately.Fang thought this guy was alone, so he said he was forced by the eagle, how could he throw himself in front of us?Listen to the front of the ear and shout: "How stupid are you three! In the middle of the night, you only care about showing off your flat-haired animal, and almost killed it! Do you know how dangerous this area is? To tell you the truth, you What these two Ying Wushuang did before was excellent, but they made too many enemies. As long as you find out that the other party has ill-gotten gains, you will never let go, and you will not carefully investigate their origins, and finally cause trouble If something happened in the mountains to bring you two back, they have already mobilized, and in less than three days, capable people will go to Jinan to look for you. A person who unfortunately suffers himself will also implicate the poor people who have been helped by you. I don’t know how many good people will be implicated. , isn't it bad?

"If my master hadn't been entrusted by the dead to make his daughter a vengeful man, seeing that the dogs and men are very alert and have already slipped away, it would be difficult to attack you if you go any further. Stop you, and you may cause trouble tonight." I was ordered by my teacher to fool the two thieves, so I followed and spied and teased you secretly, so as not to let the strong enemy find you passing by, and in the middle of the night, I rushed over by surprise, and as long as I walked a few dozen miles, I was out of danger. The old monster knows that he once boasted that he would never allow the two of you to enter the sea. Now that his opponent has walked past calmly, and he is still asleep, such a shameful thing must be embarrassed to happen. What's more, this guy hid in the past When he retired, he swore that he would never leave his residence within a radius of 50 miles, except that there were two elderly fishermen living by the Daming Lake who were his relatives, and he had to visit them once every two years. , he doesn’t go anywhere else, as long as he walks through this area, he will be fine. And after the three of you have changed your appearance in Qiancun, he won’t be able to see it even if you pass by during the day. You can walk so fast at night, Slight negligence of anti-yielding vigilance, as long as we meet on a narrow road, I hate it. My master doesn't want to break face with him. I forgot to greet you last night and tell people when you get up. I don't even know about it, so I have to guard against it. "Those two dogs and men and women are extremely cunning, I am following him, who knows that you don't know what to do, you think that the black eagle can fight the enemy and make it spy secretly, but you don't know that this flat-haired beast is too fierce, seeing this late at night without anyone People, they may revert to their old ways, as long as they strike in the air, if there is any movement, they will immediately cause trouble. Fortunately, it has not found the two dogs and men and women. I have already seen that it is in the air. The enemy brought it here. Wang Zi, you have been running outside since you were a child, and all your teachers praised you for being smart. How can such negligence make me spend a lot of time in the snow, and I am embarrassed to hurt it. You are also clever, seeing that I am not an enemy, I warned you before I can lead you back. It may not listen to everything I say, so you can quickly call it down and let it fly ninety miles away to wait for you, and I will talk to you tomorrow Rendezvous. To avoid unnecessary incidents on the way, causing chaos, and delaying the overall situation. If you make a slight miscalculation, you may be able to keep more than a dozen friends in the mountains. How can you resist the enemy in Xintaoyuan and those bitter people who opened up wasteland? When there are casualties, Even if we can get rid of this group of thieves in the future, those who died will be too wronged." The three saw that the person who came was very young, wearing night clothes and a mask on his head, but the shape was different, short in stature, like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, who did not know the moonlight double sword Xia Nanying, also called Liu How could Yuemei's senior heroine accept an underage child as her disciple?Both feel strange.Although the other party is young, he is a generation taller than the three of them. He came in a hurry, spoke outrightly, and said a lot in one breath, and he couldn't resist. He probably wasn't an ordinary person, so I had to listen to him respectfully. Thank you. Advice, let's go to worship together, ask for your name, then ask if you are Liu Yuemei's apprentice.The visitor said anxiously: "Why don't you send that flat-haired bastard away first, why are you making such vain rituals and empty talk? How high is this eagle flying, and you are in the middle of the night, so you won't be seen through?" The iron flute made repeated noises, hurriedly ordering Nanman to call down the eagle, pointing out the way to go, hurriedly finished speaking, and asked the young man for advice again.The young man smiled and said: "You are a ghost, seeing that I am young, don't you believe that I am your uncle?" Tie Zhouzi hurriedly replied: "I don't dare, just because my uncle is amazing, and the lightness kung fu is even better. I am eager to know the origin of my name, so as not to be rude when I meet again in the future." The young man smiled and said: "You already know that my master is Liu Yuemei, so there is no need to say. My name is Hehui, so don't look at me old-fashioned. , Pretending to be your elders, I really cherish you, I want to meet you for a long time, it is rare to meet today, and I want to just see this black eagle, so I say this. But the matter is really urgent, don't blame me for being arrogant." The black eagle had already been bewitched by Nanman with a lamp. The young man leaned towards him, pulled his mask off, and said with a smile, "You never would have thought that my master had a disciple like me, would you? To tell you the truth, I was born in a bloody fetus." The teacher took it away, I am still her godson, this is my true face, don't laugh at me." When he said that, the place where the young man held his hand suddenly lit up, revealing his true colors, and the three of them were almost startled Jump.It turned out that the boy's mask was very cleverly made, and it was also made of thin skin. In addition, there was a hat attached to it, with a lock on it, which could be opened by pulling it open. It was divided into two pieces from the center. Neat, with a slap-sized bloodstain and three raised strips of purple flesh on one side of the face, as if being scratched by something at another time, and the scalp was also peeled off. It's snow white, with a few blood marks on it, and it's ugly and weird, never seen before.It's better to wear a hat, but it's even worse to be bald.Wang Zi is still not doing well, the two daughters almost laughed out loud, He Hui didn't care, the light was very bright, it came from He Hui's hand, because it wasn't fully released, only a little bit was exposed, and it already illuminated his eyebrows.He Huizheng pointed at Hei Diao and said with a smile: "I heard that you have sharp eyesight. You need to recognize me at this time, so as not to cause misunderstandings in the future. It will be good for you to tell it to listen to me." Hei Diao pointed out: "When we meet in the future, we must obey Master He's words and act." Suddenly, he heard a clear whistle from a distance, and it stopped after a while.He Hui hurriedly hid the pearl light, and said with a smile: "Master thinks it's my fault for showing my appearance, but in fact I have my own idea. If the old monster sees the ball light and finds it, it will be able to adjust the tiger away from the mountain and make it easier for you to go on the road. The words have been said Finish, if you don't break up again, master will blame me for being naughty. You get up quickly, the sooner the better, once you pass Sunzhuang, you will be fine after walking a short distance." The three hurriedly agreed. He Hui first ordered the eagle to be released in the direction he had said, and then got up together.The three of them acted according to their words, and as soon as the eagle flew away, He Hui galloped towards the slanting stab, and disappeared into the shadows blindingly.The three of them drove out of Lixu, and looked at the far left side of the road where there was a flash of light, and saw that the light was like silver lightning, different from the lights of the previous two thieves, it was expected to be sent by He Hui, maybe the enemy was alert and was led away by him, According to what he said, his tone must be strong, otherwise a senior swordsman like Liu Yuemei who has been famous for many years would not be so worried.Even He Hui also has amazing abilities, and is also young and energetic. If his opponent is ordinary, he would not order him like that. It is expected that the situation is tense, and there is a danger in this area, so each of them is on guard.Tie Dizi was even more cautious, not even letting the two girls say anything, and braved the snowy wind in the middle of the night and galloped through the snow-covered mountains.Because I didn't go to Huangmao Village to stay, I was in a hurry to go on the road, the ice and snow were rough, and it was extremely difficult to walk. Although I flew for dozens of miles at a stretch, I was hungry and thirsty, and the sky was bright.The three of them walked as He Hui said, but did not go the same way. Wen Ying was born on the road, and saw that a round of rising sun had already emerged from the misty shadow of the sky, and the morning fog was gradually disappearing. Hearing from each other, he knew that the weather was good that day, and he had something on his mind, and he didn't know the distance or where it was, so he quietly asked: "Where is this place, has Sun Zhuang been there?" Seeing that she was always concerned about her, Nan Man wanted to avoid Sun Zhuang, and replied with a smile: "Sun Zhuang is on the side of the road, we just pass not far, and this is its boundary. Because the surnames of the nineteen grandchildren in this area are more likely to be Life, we even checked twice before, and felt that they were living well, so we didn't give alms, so we didn't know each other for dozens of miles along the way, and there were one or two people who were also acquainted by Daming Lake The fisherman brought in without any deep acquaintance. Brother Tie felt suspicious because of this. At that time, he was busy with disaster relief work, and he even inquired about several companies, all of them were able to pass. Later, he went to inquire at night, and what he said was happy, although he felt It's not all the truth, and I feel suspicious, as if the speaker has something to say, but he hasn't found any flaws. I don't know why the peasants are so unanimous, and they all say it's good. On the surface, they seem to be able to take care of food and clothing, so there is no It's a lot of trouble, I haven't come back, the situation is very serious. Let's find a place to eat and talk about it first." Wen Ying hurriedly replied: "Little sister is not hungry, the little uncle said last night, after passing Sunzhuang, we will go for a while. It’s fine. It’s only about ten miles away, and we’ll be there in a blink of an eye. I remember that there’s a village on the way there that sells very good dried bun wontons. Eating there is more comfortable than drinking northwest wind in the ice and snow.” Tie Dizi looked anxious when she saw her talking, and looked behind her from time to time. There are many people nearby. The true biography of the teacher is by no means a coward, seeing her suspenseful look, it must have something to do with it." Recalling the previous spying experience, my heart moved.Fortunately, he and Nanman often travel together on weekdays, running day and night, never sleeping or eating. He said with a smile: "Just because I heard that Wenmei is hungry, I just wanted to eat something here. Since I am not hungry at this time It’s the same if you eat it at the market in Qiantu Town.” Wenying felt that his words did not match, his face turned red, and he glanced at the village surrounded by a large forest on the side of the road, and stopped talking, but the people rushed forward.Tie and Nan saw it in their eyes, but they didn't say anything, and they paid more attention in secret.The masks of the three had been removed before dawn, and people kept coming and going along the way. Although they went their own way, they ignored them, fearing that they would be seen through in the end, and it would be inconvenient for them to perform lightness kung fu and gallop like last night. Naturally, it would be much slower.Tie and Nan saw that Wenying was ahead first, as if walking as fast as possible.Houzhi couldn't walk too fast, and was sandwiched between the two of them. Whenever someone came across, he had to pretend to be afraid of the cold and cover his face. A leather hat with ears had been put down on his head, even if an acquaintance suddenly It may not be able to see, somehow why he is so guilty.He was on guard all the way, but nothing happened, and no one asked him. After walking for a while, the big town of Quankou is already in front of us.Both Tie and Nan have been here several times, not only are they very familiar with geography, but also have many acquaintances with poor families.Wen Ying was supposed to go to a restaurant to eat, but Wen Ying suddenly suggested with a smile: "We'd better not make any troubles at this time. Uncle He warned again and again last night that since there are acquaintances here, it's better to ask them to buy food from him. Much more." Nanman knew that these poor people had been helped by two people. Once they met, they would kill chickens and cook rice. They treated each other wholeheartedly and didn't want to disturb others. , did not pass through in front of Sunzhuang. This town is more than 20 miles away from Sunzhuang, and the place Cai Wenmei mentioned just now has been bypassed. I think, in broad daylight, there is no harm in getting up and eating a little Why do you bother others?" Wen Ying asked knowing that what he was traveling was not the same road he had traveled before, and he was still twenty or thirty miles away from Sunzhuang. He frowned and said with a smile, "I don't know how far we are, this is a problem. , I will talk about it in detail after the incident in the mountain is over, and all brothers and sisters will know my suffering when they hear it." The two nodded, seeing that it was time for breakfast, the weather was too cold, there were very few people on the road, and the town ahead was very lively, so they stopped talking and walked into a larger restaurant in the middle together, Tie Dizi said with a smile : "We've been really thrifty recently, and we've finished the rare things. We happened to meet a good friend, so we should give our condolences, and meet this little brother. How about having two more glasses?" .Tie and Nan, because of their poor daily life, took a large amount of ill-gotten wealth and passed it through their hands, all of which were used to relieve the poor. As usual, I have to reward myself every time I finish things, and I met Wenying for the first time, and after eating this first meal, I have been driving for two nights and one day since yesterday. Thirsty, knowing that the main road to and from the town market is much larger than the place Wenying just mentioned, so I deliberately traveled ten miles away to prepare for a full meal.After another half day, taking advantage of the short winter days, I will find another place to sleep at dusk and sleep him well.It just so happened that it was still early and they had just been seated. As soon as the three of them arrived, they found a private room upstairs, called the waiter, and each ordered one or two favorite dishes and local specialty rice wine. As soon as I sat down, I heard the sound of the stairs. There were more and more drinkers, and even the open room outside was full.The three of them peeked outside before the banquet. They were all ordinary businessmen, so they didn't pay attention to it.After eating for a while, another person went upstairs, Wenying was still not doing well, Tie and Nan had been enemies for a long time, and they could tell the difference in the sound of their steps when they heard it.The iron flute climbed up the crack of the curtain and looked out, and saw a Toutuo with a gold hoop on his head, tall and mighty, holding a Zen stick in his hand, about the thickness of a large wine glass, which seemed to be made of steel. Very heavy.Because the guest seats are full, there is a single room diagonally opposite and someone just booked it. After the waiter said, he found a small table by the back window and sat down. Then he ordered a lot of food and wine, and he was still full of fish and meat, and he could eat and drink. Extraordinary.He ate a lot all the way, and all the drinkers sitting next to him peeked at him. The local area is an official road, with important water and land connections. This group of merchants travels to and from the rivers and lakes all year round. Most of them have bright eyes.The store clerk was even more respectful to him, and he was there immediately.Toutuo ate and drank all the way, acting like no one else was around.Because there were so many people coming up, I couldn't see clearly, and then turned my back to the three of them, let alone seeing his face.Seeing the behavior of a monk like this, Nanman thought it was not a good one, and wanted to go out to spy on an excuse, but was grabbed by the iron flute, and said in a low voice: "We are in a hurry to go back to the mountain, and we don't plan to be troublesome. Fortunately, we will come again next spring." What?" While talking, the clerk happened to walk in, and the iron flute asked in a low voice, and the clerk quietly replied: "This is the first time for this master to come here. This is the only way to pass by water and land. What kind of people pass by?" Both of you, the third of you is a monk, let him go." After finishing speaking, he walked out. When the door curtain opened, I saw two young men in Chinese clothes walking in from upstairs.Just as Wen Ying probed out to look out, he suddenly retreated back to his place, Tie and Nan also took a look, and felt that the two were handsome young men, as if they had seen each other before.Then look at the people who have walked into the private seat in the east small room.Then three more came in, the oldest one was only about forty years old, Yu Jun was young, all of them looked like people who had practiced kung fu.The three of them ate almost as well, Wen Ying suddenly urged him away, and Tie Dizi got up immediately.When it was time to go out, Wenying had already gone ahead, passed through the crowd, and was about to go downstairs, Tie and Nan looked at Toutuo because they thought about it, and saw the upstairs staff in a hurry, and the drinkers came and went. Standing, the waiter shouted "see off", Toutuo happened to turn his face and glanced at the two of them. The two of them saw that his face was like black dates, and after drinking a few more cups, he became more and more translucent in black, with a protruding forehead, deep eyes and big nose, wide mouth and vermilion lips, raised cheekbones, a pair of thick eyebrows pressed tightly on the eyes, wide and long, They were about to form a single word, their eyes gleamed fiercely, and their appearance became even more ferocious.The two of them didn't want to be troublesome at first, and they didn't seem to pay attention to each other, so they walked downstairs amidst the sound of thank-you and farewell from the store clerk.Nan Man, who was behind, saw the door curtain of the private seat in the east small room move slightly, it was only by chance, he concentrated on Toutuo, only thinking about remembering the appearance, let go of it, and did not mention it to his companion again.When I got outside the door, I saw Wen Ying was waiting for each other slowly by the road in front, his face seemed to be quite nervous, there were a few horses tied beside the building, Nan Man asked quietly: "We are of the same flesh and blood, what's the matter with you, just now Do you see any suspicious signs?" Wenying hurriedly replied, "Sister Nan, don't be suspicious, you will know in the future." Nanman saw that there was a difference in her expression, and it was clear that something was discovered upstairs, and it was suspected to be related to Toutuo, so she couldn't help but ask again. The inquiry was stopped by the iron flute, and Wenying didn't mention it again.From there, the three of them set off on their way. It was almost dusk, and just about to stay, Tie Dizi suddenly felt moved, and asked quietly: "We will stay with an acquaintance tonight, how about not going to the hotel?" , opened two inns, Tie Dizi led the two girls through the town, and walked two or three miles from the field road next to the town to a small village, looking for someone to stay.The owner is a well-to-do family. I am a businessman outside the home. There are parents and brothers in the family who plant dozens of acres of land. They are not included in the relief of the iron flute, but they are the most loyal. Last year, they first admired the name of the merchant when they rescued the disaster and looked for them everywhere. , met Qixia Wuxin again, talked face to face, and became more and more admirable. He had helped with all his strength, and he was also a shrewd person. When we met again in Jinan before, we had agreed to visit him on the sidewalk, knowing that he had gone home for the New Year.As soon as he knocked on the door, he happened to be greeted by himself. Tie and Nan didn't hide it from him, and they had made an appointment with a secret sign. They recognized it when they met and welcomed him in immediately. The owner's surname is Zong Ming Caichen. Although he has helped the Seven Heroes, he has contributed a lot in the past, and he has also benefited from Tie and Nan. One of the Seven Heroes' capable hands, Chang Dai came forward and traveled around, doing things to relieve the poor.As usual, Qixia gave him Sichuan money, and didn't ask him to spend money. Even this time he was looking for him, and because he agreed to meet at his home a few days ago, he was entrusted to Jinan next spring to take care of the unfinished business between the two. No ceremony.After dinner, Caichen knew that the three of them were exhausted all day long, so he arranged a place to sleep early.Before going to bed, the iron flute suddenly led him to the outer room and talked with him for a few words.Seeing Tie Dizi talking to someone behind her back for the first time, Nanman felt strange, and asked with a smile: "What did you say to the master?" Tie Dizi smiled and said to the two women: "The matter is still uncertain. When I arrived at the shop, I took the time to look for him, entrusted him with something, and went back to the shop to sleep. Unexpectedly, when I was about to enter the shop, I suddenly found two fast horses outside the door. I saw the same two horses tied together when I got up from dinner at the Lailu restaurant. Outside the door, although there are a few other horses, it seems that the meaning has just arrived, and these two horses are the best, and they are still being looked after, and they seem to be brought by the owner. Nanmei has been down the mountain for less than a year, and you once followed me on the Northwest Road I have been to Tianshan Mountain twice, and I must know this kind of exotic horses produced in Northern Tianshan Mountain at a glance, how could I not pay attention to it?" Hearing the words, Nanman suddenly remembered what happened before, and said with a smile: "there are five horses in total, tied under a tree, and there are really two best horses. Just now I only talked to Wenmei, and the horse also saw it once. , although I feel familiar, I didn’t pay attention to it, but I remembered it when I heard you say it. It’s not bad, as I expected, and most of them belonged to the group of young drinkers in the Dongxiaojian Yazu later.” Tie Dizi asked: “How do you know? Nanman replied: "The two young men who went upstairs first saw that they were a congregation. There was a very delicate horse whip hanging in a small lapel inside, and it was exposed a little, and they walked in in a blink of an eye. The famous horse of different breeds is definitely not something that anyone can ride. Although the people upstairs have never looked at it carefully, except for Toutuo, only the last five people seem to be coming home, and there are five more horses, just counting, maybe two of them detoured , people have come to the store first, meet each other unintentionally, have never met before, don't you see something tricky?" Tie Dizi watched secretly, and saw that Wen Ying hadn't expressed anything, he was in a trance, and didn't speak, he said with a smile: "Miss Nan is right, we've been tired for two or three days, and we have to go on the road tomorrow morning, you two sisters, please rest, I'll go Go to sleep in the opposite room." Nanman saw that it was just getting dark, and although she had worked hard for several days, she was not sleepy after drinking and eating, and even Wen Ying said she was not tired, and according to her usual temperament, she needed to talk for a while , How to lull me to sleep as soon as I put the rice bowl, my heart moved.The iron flute suddenly stretched out his two fingers slightly, and made a signal. It is expected that he found a suspicious appearance. There may be something happening that night, and it should be around the second watch. Then he nodded his head slightly, and the two girls rested immediately.Seeing that Wenying's clothes were also crooked, Nanman pulled a thin quilt over his chest, without even taking off his shoes, and said with a smile: "I'm so tired, I don't want to take it off, we just lie on our backs like this. If you can't sleep, you can still talk, Sister Nan, how do you think?" The hostess had already been thanked, and Wen Ying immediately lay down on the kang after she finished speaking. Most of these kangs are built near the windows, and the owner is extremely considerate in hospitality.Nanman originally wanted to take a short nap, sleep until around two o'clock, get up and go to the opposite room to check if there is any movement before reasoning.For the sake of warmth and comfort in the room, even though he has a good kung fu, he has been racing and fighting for days, and it is rare to get enough sleep. First, he talked with Wen Ying face to face, and then saw that the other party was very sleepy, so he couldn't be disturbed, so he closed his eyes, thinking about the future. For some reason, he became slightly confused and fell asleep.After a while, I heard the sound of fingers snapping through the rear window, I knew it was an iron flute, and I thought there was an accident, because I turned over in my dream, I ignored the person facing me, I hurriedly stretched out my hand and bounced it twice against the window, indicating that I woke up , felt that the room was dark, but there was moonlight in the sky, and the waning moon was not bright. Looking out the window, the sky was full of cold stars, and was afraid of Wen Ying. He was about to get up quietly, and opened the door to see him, when he heard the iron flute whisper: " How did you sleep? You don’t know if you lost a living person. The fate of Wenmei’s life is still unpredictable. Hurry up and follow me to find her. My teacher only has this bit of flesh and blood. See you, master." Before he finished speaking, Nan Man hurriedly turned around and turned around. In the twilight of the waning moon, there was a bulge on the opposite side. It was obvious that someone was lying there on his side. He thought that the iron flute was deliberately joking. There is still a thin quilt, and the oil lamp on the table has been extinguished, so it is not good, and Xibing and hidden weapons are all beside him, so he hastily raised them.Just as she was about to walk out, she heard an urgent call from the window: "Nanmei, I'll wait for you in the woods in the southwest, don't disturb the master, come quickly." By the end of the sentence, the man had already left, and he heard the sound of ice and snow on the opposite roof , and the sound of closing the door, suspecting that the master has risen, how can it not be alarmed?After hurriedly chasing them out, there was no trace of the person, who was expected to have crossed the wall.Seeing that the door was closed and no one came in, although he felt strange, the iron flute walked so fast, it was clear that he was in danger, and he was worried, so he hurriedly followed and crossed the roof. The snow in this area is relatively shallow and several inches deep. A crescent moon hangs in the sky. Although the light is not strong, the surrounding scenery can still be seen in the snow and moon. When I went to the house, I accidentally stepped on a footprint, which was not there in the past. , didn't look carefully, and thought to himself: "His lightness kung fu is superior to mine, it's not that he was too hasty, how could he leave footprints, just now he heard the sound of closing the door, but no one was seen, why? Some people can’t get out?” Thinking in his heart, he glanced everywhere, and saw the cold forest in the field outside the door, thousands of miles away, the sky was around three o’clock, and it was quiet everywhere, only listening to the whistling of the new wind, the night scene was secluded, and the scenery was desolate. Are there people?正想朝西南方追去，猛瞥见左侧寒光连闪两闪，回头一看，房侧现出两条黑影，手中还拿有兵器，正飞也似往相反一面驰去，料是敌党。惟恐踪迹泄露，连累主人，又知铁笛子本领高强，机智绝伦，黑雕约在当地相待，也是夜间到达，可以相助，不必忙此一时。防患要紧，不顾追赶，忙即回身纵去，相隔不远，当时赶到，人未下落，业已看出神气不像，那两人虽然拿有家伙，并非合用兵器，一个还是一柄猎叉，一个竟是一柄断去半截的马刀，打扮也更不像，同时发现另外暗影中也有寒光微微闪动，心方醒悟。 那两人本往回走，想寻同伴发话，忽见面前有人纵落，吃了一惊，一面闪避，看意思是想动手，刚呼喝得半声，忽然低声惊呼道：“大爷刚走，如何赶回？”余人还有十来个，都是当地村民，南曼出时为防万一，曾将面具带上，这些均是受过周济的苦人，知其误把自己当成铁笛子，忙喝：“我不是他，但是他的同伴，你们在此何事？”内有数人本知影无双不止一个，忙答：“二爷你怎不知此事？你们方才来了对头，我们听说得信赶来相助，不料被大爷拦住，不令跟去，也不许在此埋伏。他说人在前面树林之中，业已赶去，我们正要回转，你就来了。”南曼知道误会，也未细问便劝众人速回：“此事用不着你们。”说罢便往西南方赶去。 那伙村民原因听一同伴说起镇上来了两人，打听铁笛子等三人下落，心中生疑，恰巧宗采臣奉命去往镇店之中窥探，与之相遇。双方本是熟人，所居又在镇口一带，便对他说：“影无双现在我家，如有动静速来报知。”那人受铁南二侠救命之恩，感恩已极，又学过两天拳脚，立照所说行事，恰巧左近住的几个猎户走过，都是乡邻至好，又都得到过对方的好处，那人因有采臣嘱咐，知道两位恩人无故从不与人相见，去也无用，虽未明言，却将有人作对之事告知，那几个猎户立时激动义愤，于是越传越多，前后两个小村的人晃眼传遍。因以前救水灾时曾有一次集众出动，为七侠助威得到用处，得信之后立时选出二十来个壮汉分途防守，准备帮助恩人与对头拼命。铁笛子先还不知，到了时候正要出去方始发现，忙即劝止，令其退回。南曼自不晓得，等到问明追去，业已稍微耽搁。 遥望前途林中静悄悄的，林那面又是一片山崖土坡，方想他和村民均说来此，为何不见人影，莫非有什变故不成？就是来路耽搁，共只几句话的工夫，也无追赶不上之理。林那面的山沟土坡相隔均远，怎的走得这快？心疑铁笛子人已穿林而过，去往对面坡崖之上，又恐隐伏在侧，刚取灯筒想先发个信号，忽听身侧有人轻轻拍手，回头一看，乃是一个头戴风帽，身穿黑衣，外披一件白斗篷，腰挂一双长剑的女子突由树后闪出，觉着那人装束眼熟，但又不曾见过，心方一动，来人已低声说道：“你就等在这里，不要过去，少时如有人来，只管尽量施展，但不可伤他性命，最好给他吃点小苦头，使知厉害，并将旺子拦住，勿令穷追，事完只管回去安卧。明早从容上路，后面的事由我师徒承当便了，这样可省许多枝节，你们回去也快一点。虽然为时尚早，到底不可不防，早日回山戒备，他们可以放心，事情能不闹大才好呢。” 南曼闻言，猛想起文婴所说那位前辈女剑侠的形貌，好生惊喜，忙恭身问道：“你老人家可是夏大师叔么？”那人正是明月光双剑夏南莺，微笑点头道：“此时不消多礼，快些藏起，也许还有劲敌被人引出来呢。”南曼不等话完，早已拜倒，刚刚应诺起立，便听文婴与人争吵之声远远传来。那号称六月梅的双剑夏南莺忽把手一挥，人便掩往树后，更不再见。 甫曼忙照所说刚刚藏好，便见侧面坡上飞也似驰来三人，当头一个正是文婴，仙人掌并未带在手上。后面追来的像是两个少年，身边虽然带有兵器，也未拔出，看意思似想强迫文婴回去。文婴边走边说，不时回头：“你两弟兄再要逼我，莫怪我手下无情。再如纠缠，我要用暗器打你们了。”内中一人方在低喝：“没良心的贱婢，再不随我回去，莫怪我们心狠。”话未说完，兵器业已出手，拿着一把护手钩刚刚纵起，文婴也快逃到林边，看敌人来势又猛又急，似想将文婴钩翻擒将回去，这一纵又高又远，文婴没料对方翻脸，骤出不意，神态甚是慌乱，口中只管呼喝警告，手里暗器始终不曾发出。 眼看文婴闪避稍迟，难免吃亏，南曼见状心中愤怒，待要抢前接应，说时迟，那时快，就这来人双钩并举，寒光如电，映月生辉，凌空飞坠，将落未落之际，斜刺里忽然箭一般窜起一条黑影，一跃两丈，正抢在文婴的身后，扬手一溜寒光过处，铮铮两声，两条人影由合而分，各自凌空一个翻折往旁纵去，同时一弯寒光颤巍巍舞向空中，摇曳而下，落向寒林之中，乃是敌人的钩被后来黑影打飞，落向树上挂住，文婴也在这危机一发之间往旁一闪，就势双足点地，迎面飞来。刚刚窜进疏林之中，后面还有一个敌人也自厉声喝骂，追将过来和头一人会合，一声招呼，分朝男女二人赶去。
