Chapter 4 Chapter Four

Hua Hui hurriedly took out the poisonous needle, inserted the end of the needle into the head of the wooden staff, handed it to her, pointed to the entrance, and said in a low voice: "When someone comes in and stabs his vest, don't stab his chest in a hurry. .” Li Wenxiu thought to himself: "The entrance is so narrow, wouldn't it be so easy to hit him by stabbing him in the chest?" Hua Hui saw her hesitation, and said: "Life and death, at this moment, how dare you not listen?" My words?" Although the voice was soft, the tone was very serious.At this moment, I saw a bright long knife stretched out from the entrance, swung it quickly, and protected the front door to prevent the enemy from sneaking in. Afterwards, a black shadow slowly crawled in, but it was the man with the surname Cloud Bandit.

Li Wenxiu remembered Hua Hui's words, and shrank aside, not daring to move at all.Hua Hui said coldly: "What do you see in my hand?" He stretched out his hand and flaunted it.The one surnamed Yun stepped in front of Hengdao, staring at him intently, preventing him from firing the hidden weapon.Hua Hui yelled: "Sting him!" Li Wenxiu raised his staff and lowered it, the tip of the staff touched his vest, and the poisonous needle penetrated into his skin.The surname Yun only felt a slight pain in his back, as if he had been stung by a bee, he let out a loud cry, and then froze to death.The one surnamed Quan followed closely behind, saw that he had died from the poisoned needle again, he thought it was Hua Hui who had issued the poisoned needle, he was so frightened that he couldn't turn around and run for his life, he backed up and crawled out with all his hands and feet.

Hua Hui sighed: "If I don't lose my martial arts, what's the point of mere five thieves!" Li Wenxiu thought to himself that his nickname "One Finger Shakes the South of the Yangtze River" means that his martial arts are extremely strong, so why did he meet five little thieves? There was nothing he could do, and he said, "Uncle Hua, you are sick, so you can't perform martial arts, right?" Hua Hui said, "No, no. I... At critical moments, never use martial arts lightly." Li Wenxiu said "Yes", feeling that what he said was insincere, just now he clearly said "martial arts have been lost", but he hesitated to cover it up, but since he refused to say it, it was inconvenient for him to ask.

Hua Hui also noticed that there was a flaw in his words, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "I told you to stab him in the back, do you understand the reason? He attacked the hole, and he was fully on guard against the enemy in front of him. You wouldn't What kind of martial arts, you can't succeed by attacking him from the front. I made him concentrate on guarding against me, and you stabbed him in the back, and you can easily hit him." Li Wenxiu nodded and said: "Uncle's strategy is very good." You must know Huahui's world With such a wealth of experience, it is easy to manipulate such a little thief.

Hua Hui took out a large piece of dried honeydew melon from his bosom, handed it to Li Wenxiu, and said, "Eat some first. Those two thieves dare not come in again, but we can't go out either. Let me think about it, Both of them must be killed in one fell swoop. If only one person is killed, the other person must flee to report the news, and a large group of people will follow, but it will be very difficult." Li Wenxiu saw that he was thoughtful and resourceful, anyway, she was determined not to think about it. If he came up with a better method than him, it wouldn't be too troublesome, so he had a full meal of dried melons and leaned against the stone wall to rest his mind.

About half an hour later, Li Wenxiu suddenly smelled a burning smell, and then coughed.Hua Hui said: "It's not good! The thieves use smoke to fumigate! Block the entrance of the cave!" Li Wenxiu picked up the sand and stones from the ground and blocked the entrance. Fortunately, the entrance of the cave is very small, and under the blockage, they poured into the cave The smog is greatly reduced, and the inner hole is very large. After the smoke is blown in, it will come out from the back hole. After such a stalemate for a long time, the sunlight reflected from the back hole became brighter and brighter, as if it was already noon.Suddenly Huahui cried out "Ah", fell to the ground, and his whole body twitched again.But this time it seemed to be more painful than last time, and the wild dancing of hands and feet was uncontrollable.Li Wenxiu panicked in her heart, and hurriedly approached to massage and pat him.Hua Hui's pain subsided slightly, and he gasped, "Gu... girl, I'm afraid I won't get better this time." Li Wenxiu comforted her, "Don't think so, meeting a strong man today, it's going to be troublesome, just rest for a while and you'll be fine. It's gone." Hua Hui shook his head and said, "No, no! I'm going to die anyway, and I'll tell you the truth, I got hit on the acupuncture point in the back of my heart... I got hit by a poisonous needle."

Li Wenxiu said: "Ah, you got poisoned by the needle, when did you get it? Is it today?" Hua Hui said: "No, it's been twelve years!" Li Wenxiu said in shock: "Is it also such a powerful poisonous needle?" Hua Hui said: "It's generally the same. It's just that I used my energy to resist, and the onset of toxicity was slower. Later, I took the antidote. This has only lasted for twelve years, but today, I can't bear it anymore. Alas! With this ghost needle on his body, during these twelve years, he would suffer two or three times of severe pain every day. If he had known this, it would have been better if he had not taken the antidote that day. What good would it be in the end if he suffered more than twelve years? "

Li Wenxiu's chest trembled, this sentence aroused her thoughts.Ten years ago, if he had died in the hands of the strong along with his parents, he would have suffered much less later. However, during these ten years, was it all suffering?No, there were happy times too.Although a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old is lonely and sad, there is always a lot of laughter and sweetness in the flowery years. Hua Hui gritted his teeth and tried his best to endure the pain all over his body. Li Wenxiu said: "Uncle, you managed to pull out the poisonous needle, maybe it will be better." Hua Hui scolded: "Nonsense! Who doesn't know this? I alone I'm in this barren mountain, who will pull out the needle with me? No one who came into the mountain has a good intention, hum, hum..." Li Wenxiu was full of doubts: "Why didn't he go outside to seek medical treatment, and he was here alone? What's the point of living in a barren mountain for twelve years?" It was obvious that he still had great suspicion and guard against himself, but seeing that he was in so much pain, he said, "Uncle, let me try it. Don't worry. , I will never harm you."

Hua Hui stared at her, his brows were furrowed tightly, and countless thoughts turned in his mind, as if he still couldn't make up his mind.Li Wenxiu pulled out the poisonous needle on the head of the staff, handed it to him, and said: "Let me see the scars on your back. If you see that I have bad intentions, you can stab me with the poisonous needle!" Hua Hui said: "Okay!" He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his vest.When Li Wenxiu looked at it, she couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, but she saw that there were thousands of scars on his back.Hua Hui said: "I tried every means to dig out the poisonous needle, but I couldn't get it out."

Some of these scars seemed to be smashed on sharp rocks, and some seemed to be cut out with fingertips. Li Wenxiu looked at these scars and thought of how many tortures he had suffered in the past twelve years, and felt sympathetic. , asked: "Where is the poisonous needle?" Hua Hui said: "There are three in total, one is at the 'Pohu point', one is at the 'Zhishi point', and the other is at the 'Zhiyang point'." , pointing his finger back at the site where the poisonous needle was inserted, because of the long time gap and the scars all over his back, he could no longer see where the needle hole was.

Li Wenxiu asked in surprise: "There are three in total? You said you hit one?" Hua Hui said angrily, "You didn't say you were going to pull out the needle for me earlier, why should I tell you the truth?" Li Wenxiu knew his suspicion. Extremely heavy, in fact, after being hit by three poisonous needles, he lost all his martial arts. He was afraid that he would harm him, so he deliberately said that he had sworn a heavy oath not to use force lightly. If you want to harm others, you can also have more scruples.She really didn't like his deceitful and suspicious intentions, but she wanted to save people to the end, the old man was really pitiful, she couldn't care about all this for a while, thinking about how to pull out the poisonous needle that penetrated into the muscle for him. Hua Hui asked: "Do you see clearly?" Li Wenxiu said: "I can't see the end of the needle, how do you say it should be pulled out?" Hua Hui said: "You have to use a sharp instrument to cut open the muscle before you can see it. The poisonous needle penetrates several inches, and it is very difficult to find." Having said this, his voice trembled.Li Wenxiu said: "Well, it's a pity that I didn't bring a knife." Hua Hui said: "I don't have a knife either." Suddenly pointing to the long knife that fell on the ground, he said: "Just use this knife!" The saber was shining blue, very sharp, and it was lying beside the strong man surnamed Yun. At this time, the saber was still there, but it was still frightening to see. Seeing that Li Wenxiu wanted to use such a long knife to cut open his vest, she hesitated a lot.Hua Hui guessed what she was thinking, and his words turned gentle, and said: "Miss Li, you just need to help me pull out the poisonous needle, and I will give you a lot of gold, silver and jewels. I won't lie to you, there are really a lot of them." A lot of gold, silver and jewels." Li Wenxiu said: "I don't want gold, silver and jewels, and I don't need your thanks. As long as you don't feel any pain, that's fine." Hua Hui said: "Okay, then you should do it quickly." Li Wenxiu went over and picked up the long knife, and cut off a dozen strips of cloth from the clothes of the man surnamed Yun Qiang, in order to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound, and said: "Uncle, I will do my best, you bear the pain." Bite tightly. With his teeth closed, he pointed the tip of the knife at a few minutes away from the "Pohu acupoint" he pointed out, and cut lightly. The knife pierced into the flesh, blood gushed out, Hua Hui didn't even groan, and asked: "Did you see?" He was used to the pain for the past twelve years, and he didn't care at all when he cut this sharp knife .Li Wenxiu pulled out the hairpin from his head, probed into the wound, and sure enough, he found a thin needle, firmly nailed into the bone. She put two fingers into the wound, pinched the end of the needle, and pulled it hard, but her fingers slipped off, but the poisonous needle couldn't be pulled out. She didn't pull out the poisonous needle until the fourth time.Hua Hui yelled, and fainted from the pain.Li Wenxiu thought to himself: "He fainted, so he would suffer less pain." He dissected the flesh and took the needles, then pulled out the other two poisonous needles, and wrapped his wound with cloth strips. After a while, Hua Hui woke up slowly, opened his eyes, and saw three black poisonous needles in front of him, and said bitterly: "Ghost needles, thief needles! You have been in my flesh for ten years. Two years, finally come out today." He said to Li Wenxiu: "Miss Li, you saved my life. I have nothing to repay you, so I present these three poisonous needles to you. Although these three poisonous needles are hidden in my body Twelve years, the poison is still there." Li Wenxiu shook his head and said, "I don't want it." Hua Hui said in surprise, "You have seen the power of the poisonous needle with your own eyes. With this needle in hand, everyone will be afraid of you " Li Wenxiu said in a low voice: "I don't want people to be afraid of me." But in her heart she wanted to say: "I just want people to like me, and this poisonous needle can't do anything." After the poisonous needle was taken out, although Hua Hui was very weak due to profuse bleeding, he was in a good mood and energetic, and slept peacefully with his eyes closed for more than an hour.He suddenly heard someone swearing loudly in his sleep, and he woke up with a start, only to hear the strong man surnamed Song swearing and swearing outside the cave, the words he said were extremely vicious.Obviously he didn't dare to come in, but he wanted to provoke the enemy to go out.Hua Hui became angrier the more he listened, stood up, and said, "The poisonous needle in my body has been removed, and I'm still afraid of two thieves with one finger shaking the south of the Yangtze River?" "The poisonous needle has stayed in my body for too long, it seems that martial arts will be hard to recover within three or four months." Hearing the robber's scolding "thousand old thief, ten thousand old thief", he said angrily: "Do I have to wait for you to insult me ​​for a few years?" Yue, come to kill you again?" He thought again: "If they don't dare to go into the cave, if they stay stiff, and finally go back and bring a large number of helpers, it will be terrible. What should we do?" Suddenly he had a thought, and said: "Miss Li, I'm here to teach you martial arts all the way, you go out and clean up these two thieves." Li Wenxiu said: "How long will it take to learn? Not so fast." Hua Hui pondered. : "If I teach you pointing acupoints and sword and boxing skills, it will take at least half a year to learn the skills. Before you have to be quick, then you can only practice the side-door weapons that are very fast. You can win in just one or two moves. It's just that in this cave. Where can I find some kind of weapon?" As soon as he raised his head, he suddenly said happily: "Yes, go and pick two gourds over there, they need to be connected with long vines, let's practice the meteor hammer." Li Wenxiu saw a dozen long-withered gourds hanging in the place where the light came in from the cave. I don't know when they were born there, so he cut two of them with a knife and vines.Hua Hui said: "Very good! You use a knife to dig a hole in the gourd vine, fill it with sand, and then use the gourd vine to plug the hole." Li Wenxiu obeyed.The two gourds were filled with sand, and each weighed seven or eight catties. They really looked like a pair of meteor hammers.Hua Hui took it in his hand and said, "I'll teach you the move 'Stars and Moon Competing for Glory' first." Immediately, he picked up a pair of gourd meteor hammers and slowly practiced a posture. This stance of "Star and Moon Competing for Brilliance" hits the "Shangqu acupoint" at the junction of the enemy's chest and abdomen with the left hammer, and the right hammer first vertically and then retracted, bending over to hit the "Lingtai acupoint" on the enemy's back. Although it is only one move, it contains Starting with the various methods of sharp eyesight, swinging the hammer to recognize the acupoints, and also beware of the enemy dodging left and right, and taking advantage of the situation to counterattack, Li Wenxiu has learned for more than an hour before he can hit the hammer correctly. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said apologetically, "I'm so stupid, I've learned it for so long!" Hua Hui said, "You're not stupid at all, but you're very smart. Don't underestimate this trick." Hui', although it is a partial kung fu, it has fantastic changes and great power. Ordinary people have learned it for ten days and eight days, but they have not achieved as much as you. It is useless to deal with martial arts masters. But it is more than enough to defeat two thieves. You can rest for a while, then go out and kill them." Li Wenxiu was taken aback, and said: "It's just this move?" Hua Hui smiled and said: "Although I only taught you one move, you are my disciple after all. Little thief, do you still need to use two tricks? Are you afraid of damaging your master's reputation?" Li Wenxiu replied: "Yes." Hua Hui said: "Don't you want to worship me as a teacher?" Li Wenxiu really didn't want to worship any master, so she couldn't help it He didn't answer for a long time, but saw that his face was extremely disappointed, and later seemed to be quite sad, and couldn't bear it, so he knelt down and bowed a few times, and called: "Master." Hua Hui liked it at the same time, and was sad at the same time, and said sadly: "I never thought that I would accept such a smart and intelligent disciple after I escaped death." Li Wenxiu smiled sadly, thinking: "I have no one in this world except Grandpa Ji. One family member. It doesn’t matter if you learn martial arts or not. But if you have an extra master, you will always have someone who will not harm me and will take care of me.” Hua Hui said: "It's getting dark, you use the meteor hammer to open the way, rush out, and when you get to the spacious place, take care of these two thieves." Li Wenxiu was a little scared.Hua Hui said angrily: "Since you don't trust my martial arts, why do you want to worship me as a teacher? Back then, the two heroes in northern Fujian were both killed by this move of 'Star and Moon Competing for Glory'. The skills of these two little thieves are far worse than those in Fujian. But what about the Northern Shuangxiong?" Li Wenxiu didn't know how good the martial arts of the Northern Fujian Shuangxiong were. Seeing his anger, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and remove the stones blocking the entrance of the cave. Picked up a poisonous needle and shouted: "Damn villain, the poisonous needle is here!" The two strong men surnamed Song and Quan stood guard at the entrance of the cave, and when they heard the words "the poisonous needle is coming", they were frightened out of their wits and hurriedly withdrew.The Yuan who was surnamed Song also thought that if she wanted to use the poisonous needle, there was absolutely no reason to remind her first. Since she shouted like this, she would not release the poisonous needle. Teach him how to dare to ignore big things? Li Wenxiu chased out slowly, the fear in his heart was really not inferior to the two strong men.The three of them were terrified, and finally passed through the narrow passage of more than ten feet. When the surname Quan turned his head, Li Wenxiu raised his left hand, the surname Quan panicked, staggered and fell into a somersault.The one surnamed Song also said that he had been hit by a poisonous needle, so he stepped faster and rushed straight out of the hole.The surname Quan also rushed out of the cave.The two guarded themselves with long swords, one said: "It's better to deal with that girl here!" The other said: "That's right, it's easier to see when she sends out poisonous needles." At this time, the setting sun was on the mountain, and the golden light was shining on the faces of Song Quan and Song Quan. They turned their heads slightly to prevent the sunlight from entering their eyes, and suddenly they heard a soft voice in the cave: "The poisonous needle is here!" Dodging to the side, I saw two gourds flying out of the cave, and Li Wenxiu jumped out after them.The two were startled at first, but when they saw that she was holding two withered gourds in her hands, they couldn't help laughing, but there was an unavoidable sense of fear in the laughter. Li Wenxiu's heart was pounding, she only learned one martial art move, but she didn't know if this move was really effective, even though she learned some martial arts from her parents when she was young, but her parents abandoned it after their death, and had long since forgotten about it.She was really terrified of these two strong men with ferocious faces. If she could scare them away with bluff without fighting, that would be the best. Come out! His old man kills people with a poisonous needle, just like picking something out of a pocket, you dare to oppose him, you really have the courage!" These two strongmen are ordinary characters. They seem to have heard of the name "One Finger Shaking the South of the Yangtze River" back then, but they have nothing to do with him, and they have never taken it to heart. Catching this girl to meet Uncle Huo and Second Master Chen is a great contribution, what does he care about shaking Jiangnan and Jiangbei?" They shouted in unison, and rushed up from left and right. Li Wenxiu was taken aback: "The two of them came up together, but how do you use this move of Xingyue Zhenghui?" It was also Hua Hui who wholeheartedly taught her how to use the move to hit acupuncture points, but forgot to teach her how to deal with the two of them.You must know that the enemy's moves are ever-changing, how much can you teach in one or two hours? Li Wenxiu panicked and jumped three feet to the right.The one surnamed Quan was standing on the right, rushing closer, Li Wenxiu didn't care what happened, and swung out two gourds, in a panic, this move of "Stars and Moon Competing for Glory" was only half right, Zuo Hammer was right. It hit the "Shangqu acupoint" on his chest, but the right hammer was hitting the edge of his long knife. With a sound of brushing, the gourd was cut open by the blade, and yellow sand flew. The person surnamed Song was rushing towards him, but he didn't expect a large piece of yellow sand to fly out of the gourd, and dozens of grains of sand got into his eyes, so he stretched out his hand to rub his eyes.Li Wenxiu struck out with another hammer, but because the right hammer was broken and lacked the momentum to rely on, it only hit his back, but missed the "Lingtai acupoint".But when a flying hammer weighing seven or eight catties hit his body, the Song man couldn't stand up. He threw himself forward without opening his eyes, and hugged Li Wenxiu's shoulder.Li Wenxiu yelled: "Ah yo!" His left hand hurriedly stretched out his hand to push, forgetting that he was holding a poisonous needle in his panic, this push actually pierced the poisonous needle into his stomach.That Song's arms tightened and he died. Although this strong man was dead, his arms were tightly hugged, Li Wenxiu struggled violently, but he still couldn't get rid of it.Hua Hui sighed: "Stupid girl, when you are learning, you are very good at everything, but when you get up, you will be in a mess!" He raised his foot and kicked that Song's coccyx bone.The corpse let go of its arms and fell backwards. Li Wenxiu was still in shock, when she turned her head to look at the strong man surnamed Quan, she saw him lying on the ground straight, his eyes wide open, motionless, he had been hit by her to the vital point with a sand-filled gourd and died.Li Wenxiu killed five people in a row in one day. Although it was to avenge his parents and to resist rape, he was always very uneasy, staring blankly at the two corpses, he couldn't help crying. Hua Hui smiled and said: "Why are you crying? Master taught you this trick 'Stars and Moon Competing for Glory', is it good?" Li Wenxiu sobbed: "I... I killed someone again." Hua Hui said: "Kill What are a few little thieves? After I recover my martial arts, I will pass on all my kung fu to you. When the major event here is over, we will return to the Central Plains. Master and apprentice will rule the world. Who can be it? Come, come, come to me Go to the house to have a rest and drink two cups of hot tea." After speaking, he guided Li Wenxiu to the jungle on the left, walked a little, passed a row of birch trees, and arrived in front of a thatched hut. Li Wenxiu followed him into the house, and saw that although the furnishings in the house were simple, they were quite elegant and clean. There was a pair of wooden couplets hanging in the hall, each board was engraved with seven characters, and the upper couplet said: "Prime Minister Bai knows like pressing a sword." The second couplet said: "Zhu Men have already reached the crown of laughing and playing." Since she came back to Xinjiang, she has never seen couplets, and no one has ever taught her to read. Fortunately, these fourteen characters are not difficult, and her mother taught them when she was a child. After that, Wen Yi didn't understand at all, and murmured: "Prime Minister Bai knows like pressing a sword..." Hua Hui said: "Have you read this poem?" Li Wenxiu said: "No. These fourteen characters What is written?" Hua Hui, an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, said: "These are two lines of Wang Wei's poem. The couplet said, if you have a bosom friend and spend your whole life with him, both of them will have gray hair, but you still don't trust him, He will still harm you secretly. When he walks in front of you, you should hold on to the hilt of your sword. The last line of these two poems is called "Human feelings are overturned like waves". , that means that your good friend is proud of himself, and the sky is rising, if you expect him to promote you and help you, it will only make him laugh at you." After Li Wenxiu met him, he saw that he was suspicious and wary of him everywhere, until he pulled out the poisonous needle in his body, he believed that he had no intention of harming each other. After reading this couplet again, he thought that in his life, Being greatly hurt by someone else, and this person is probably his close friend, that's why he is so angry and fearful.At this time, it is inconvenient to ask more questions, so I will cook water and make tea by myself. The two drank two cups of hot tea each, and their spirits lifted.Li Wenxiu said: "Master, I have to go back." Hua Hui was startled, with a very disappointed expression on his face, and said: "You are leaving? You are not going to learn martial arts from me?" Li Wenxiu said: "No! I didn't return all night last night, Grandpa Ji must be thinking about me very much. After I tell him, I will come to learn martial arts from you." Hua Hui suddenly became angry, his face flushed, and he said loudly: "If you tell him, then never come to see me." Li Wenxiu was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "Can't you tell Grandpa Ji? He...he loves me very much." Hua Hui said: "You can't tell anyone. You quickly make a poisonous oath. You are not allowed to tell anyone what happened today, otherwise, I will not allow you to leave this mountain..." He was furious, and the wound on his back suddenly hurt , "Ah", fainted. Li Wenxiu quickly helped him up, and poured some water on his forehead.After a while, Hua Hui woke up leisurely, wondering: "You haven't left yet?" Li Wenxiu asked, "Does your back hurt?" Hua Hui said: "It's better. You said you wanted to go back, why did you say no?" Do you want to go?" Li Wenxiu thought to himself: "Grandpa Ji only cares about it at most, but if I don't take care of Master after he is seriously injured, maybe he will die." Then he said: "Master is not very good, let me keep it to serve you A few days." Hua Hui was overjoyed. That night, the two stayed overnight in the hut.Li Wenxiu found some withered grass and made a sleeping bed in the living room. She woke up several times in her sleep, either dreaming that she was suddenly captured by strong men, or seeing a bloody ghost coming to claim her life. When I got up the next morning, I saw that Hua Hui had rested all night, and his energy was very strong.After breakfast, Hua Hui taught her how to practice martial arts, starting from the basic internal skills, and said: "You are already old, and it was too late to start practicing high-level martial arts at this time. Master is not an ordinary person. What are you afraid of when a master accepts high-level disciples? After five years, you will rarely meet opponents in the martial arts." After practicing like this for seven or eight days, Li Wenxiu's practice progressed quickly, and the wound on Hua Hui's back gradually healed. She bid farewell to her master and rode back on a white horse.Hua Hui no longer forced her to swear.After she went back, she didn't tell Grandpa Ji. She only said that she lost her way in the desert and walked farther and farther. Fortunately, she met a caravan of camels, so she didn't die of thirst in the desert.
