Chapter 5 chapter Five
Since then, every ten days and a half months, Li Wenxiu has lived in Huahui's place for several days.She was afraid of encountering a strongman again, so she always wore Kazakh men's clothing when she came out.In the past few days, Zhonghua Hui has always taught her martial arts carefully.Li Wenxiu's heart has no sustenance, so she concentrates on learning martial arts. It is true that a high-ranking student meets a wise teacher and enters the realm very quickly.
After two years like this, Hua Hui often praised: "With your current ability, you can already be regarded as a first-class player in the Jianghu. If you return to the Central Plains, as long as you make a move, you will immediately become famous." I don't want to go back to the Central Plains and do something to "make a name for myself" in the Jianghu, but I want to avenge my parents and avoid being abused by strong people again, but I have to practice martial arts well.In the depths of her heart, there was another thought motivating: "After learning martial arts, I can get Su Pu back." It's just that she never dared to think about this idea, and every time she thought about it, her face would turn red.Although she didn't dare to think about it, she kept this thought deeply in her heart, so she spent less and less time with old man Ji and more and more time at Master's house.Old man Ji asked her once or twice and saw that she refused to tell, knowing that she had a stubborn temper since she was a child, and she made up her mind that she would never look back, so he stopped asking.
One day, Li Wenxiu rode a white horse and went home from his master. Halfway there, he suddenly saw that the sky was covered with red clouds, and the weather in the desert was changing at every turn, but seeing the north wind blowing harder and harder, it seemed that there was going to be a big snowstorm in the blink of an eye. .She galloped her horse and saw the shepherds rushing home with their sheep, and there was not a single bird in the sky.When he was about to get home, suddenly there was a sound of hooves, and a horse galloped quickly.Li Wenxiu felt a little strange: "It's snowing right now, why is there someone coming out of the house?" The horse galloped closer, and saw that the rider on the horse was wearing a big red wool cloak, it was a Kazakh woman.
Li Wenxiu's eyesight at this time was quite different from that of two years ago, and he could see this woman from a distance with a graceful figure and a good face, it was Aman.Li Wenxiu didn't want to meet her face to face, so he turned his horse's head and went to the south of a small hill, behind a reined horse tree.But she saw Oman also galloping towards the hill on horseback. She galloped to the side of the hill and whistled, and there was a corresponding whistle in the bushes on the hill.Oman got off his horse, and a man ran towards her, and the two hugged each other, bursting with laughter.The man said: "There will be a big snowstorm in a blink of an eye, how did you come out?" It was Su Pu's voice.
Aman laughed and said: "Little fool, you know there is a big snowstorm, so why are you so bold to wait for me here?" Su Pu laughed and said: "We two meet here every day, it is more important than eating. It is a knife Luo Jian, I will wait for you here as well."
The two of them sat side by side on the small hill, chatting affectionately, and Li Wenxiu couldn't help but be infatuated with a few big trees between them.Sometimes their conversation was very loud, but they could be heard clearly, and sometimes it turned into a murmur, and they couldn't hear a word.Suddenly, the two of them said something funny, and they burst out laughing together.
But even if they spoke loudly, Li Wenxiu actually didn't hear them. She wasn't eavesdropping on their love talk.She seemed to see a little boy and a little girl sitting side by side, also sitting on the grass.The little boy is Su Pu, but the little girl is herself.They were telling stories, she had long forgotten what stories they were telling, but the scene ten years ago clearly appeared before her eyes...
Goose-feather-like snow drifted down in pieces, and landed on the three horses and the three people.Su Pu and A'man were laughing loudly and didn't care; Li Wenxiu didn't notice it.Snowflakes piled up on the three people's hair, and all three people's hair turned white.
Decades later, when the hair of the three people is really gray, is it true that Su Pu and Aman are still talking and laughing at Yanyan like this, and Li Wenxiu is still so lonely?She still remembers others, but there is no trace of her in others' hearts?
All of a sudden, there was a loud rattling sound on the branches, and Su Pu and Aman jumped up together, shouting: "Hail is falling! Go back!" The two of them got on their horses.
When Li Wenxiu heard the cries of the two, she woke up in a start. The hailstones the size of her fingers had already landed on her head, face, and hands, and she felt great pain. The horse goes home.
When he was about to reach the door of the house, he saw two horses tied to the porch pillars, one of which was Oman's ride.Li Wenxiu was startled: "What are they doing at my house?" At this moment, the hail was getting bigger and bigger, she led the white horse, and walked into the house through the back door, only to hear Su Pu's hearty voice say: "Old man, the hail is so heavy , we have to wait a little longer." Old Man Ji said: "Please come here as usual. I'll make a pot of tea."
Ever since the gangsters from the Jinwei Security Bureau plundered the grasslands, the Kazakhs hated the Han people very much. Although old man Ji had lived in the area for a long time, and the Kazakhs were hospitable by nature, they would not deport him, but everyone But they are very alienated from him. If it is not a big celebration, no one will buy wine from him; if it is not a serious animal disease, no one will ask him to come to the doctor.At this time, Su Pu and Aman's tents moved far away. If they hadn't avoided the wind and snow, they might not come to his house in another ten years.
Old Man Ji walked to the stove, only to see Li Wenxiu blushed, and was in a daze, and said, "Ah...you go back..." Li Wenxiu stood up, put her hand on his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "Don't let them know that I'm here." Old Man Ji nodded in surprise.
After a while, Old Man Ji went out to entertain the guests with goat's milk, cheese, and black tea.Sitting by the fire, Li Wenxiu could faintly hear the laughter of Su Pu and Aman from the hall, and a thought in her heart couldn't be suppressed: "I'm going to meet him and have a few words with him." But then she thought After Su Pu's father scolded and whipped her, the sound of the whip rang in her heart all the time for ten years.
Old man Ji returned to the stove, and handed her a bowl of hot tea mixed with butter, with a loving look in his eyes.The two have lived together for ten years, they are like their own grandfather and their own granddaughter, caring and caring for each other, but neither of them quite understand what the other is thinking deep in their hearts.
After all, they are not flesh and blood, and they don't have that innate feeling of being connected by flesh and blood.
Li Wenxiu suddenly said in a low voice: "I won't change my clothes anymore, I'm pretending to be a Kazakh man, and I'm here to avoid the snow and ice, so don't talk about it." Without waiting for old man Ji to answer, he went out from the back door to lead the white horse, braving the sky and the plains The blizzard quietly went away.
After walking out of Lixu, he got on the horse, went around in a circle, and galloped to the front door.In the strong wind, I only felt that the black clouds in the sky were about to press down on the top of my head.She had been back to Xinjiang for twelve years, and she had never seen such a strange sky. She couldn't help being afraid, and hurriedly galloped to the door, knocked on the door, and said in Kazakh: "Excuse me, excuse me!" Old man Ji opened the door and came out, and also asked loudly in Kazakh: "Brother, what's the matter?" Li Wenxiu said: "This blizzard is terrible, old man, I want to hide in my honor." Old man Ji said: " Excellent, excellent! No one takes the house with him when he goes out, two friends have already escaped from the wind and snow here. Brother, please come in!" He said, let Li Wenxiu in, and asked: "Brother, where are you going? " Li Wenxiu said: "I want to go to Heishiweizi, how far is it from here?" But he thought in his heart: "Grandpa Ji is really pretending, and he can't see any flaws." The old man Ji pretended to be surprised, and said: "Ah yo , want to go to Heishiweizi? The weather is so bad, I won’t be able to make it today anyway, why not stay here for one night and leave tomorrow. If you get lost, it’s not for fun.” Li Wenxiu said: “It’s disturbing.”
She walked into the hall and shook off the snowflakes from her body.I saw Su Pu and Aman sitting side by side, warming up around a fire.Su Pu smiled and said: "Brother, we are also here to hide from the wind and snow, please come over and bake together." Li Wenxiu said: "Okay, thank you!" She walked over and sat beside him.Aman greeted with a smile.Su Pu and she haven't seen each other for eight or nine years. Li Wenxiu has changed from a girl to a girl, and changed into a man's clothes. How could Su Pu recognize her?Old man Ji brought food and drink, while Li Wenxiu ate, he asked the three people's names, and he said that his name was Astor, and he was a shepherd from a Kazakh tribe more than two hundred miles away.
Su Pu couldn't stop going to the window to watch the sky. In fact, just listening to the wind shaking the wall, he knew he couldn't leave without looking at the sky.Aman worried: "Do you think the house will be blown down by the wind?" Su Pu said: "I'm worried that the snow is so heavy that the roof can't bear it. I will climb up to the roof to shovel the snow later." Aman said: "Don't let the strong wind blow you down." Su Pu laughed and said, "The snow has accumulated so thickly that even if you fall, you won't die."
Li Wenxiu's hand holding the tea bowl trembled slightly, her thoughts were chaotic and she didn't know what to think about.My childhood friend sat next to me.Did he really not recognize himself, or did he recognize him and pretend not to know?Has he completely forgotten himself, or has he not forgotten in his heart, but he doesn't want Aman to know?
As it was getting dark, Li Wenxiu sat a little further away.Su Pu and Aman held hands, whispering some words of love that sounded meaningless to others, but were extremely sweet in the ears of lovers.The flames flickered and flickered, shining on the faces of the two of them.
Li Wenxiu sat outside the circle of firelight.
Suddenly, Li Wenxiu heard the sound of horseshoes trampling on the snow.A horse was approaching the house.The snow on the grassland was already deep, and it was very difficult to pull the horse's feet up, and he could not run fast. The horse gradually approached, and Old Man Ji also heard it, and murmured: "Another person sheltering from the wind and snow." Su Pu and A'man either didn't hear it, or they heard it and ignored it. They held four hands and leaned against each other. Whispering. After a while, the horse arrived at the door, and then knocked on the door.The knock on the door was very rude, not like the politeness of a seeker.Old Man Ji frowned and went to open the door.I saw a tall man in a sheepskin jacket standing at the door, with a beard and a long sword hanging from his waist, and he said loudly: "It's snowing outside, the horse can't walk!" The Kazakh language he spoke was very impure , with piercing eyes, looking at everyone in the room.Old man Ji said: "Please come in. Have a drink first!" He said and brought him a bowl of wine.The man gulped it all down, sat down beside the fire, and unbuttoned his coat, only to see a shiny short sword stuck on the left and right sides of his belt.The hilts of the two swords are golden and the other silver. When Li Wenxiu saw this pair of little swords, her heart trembled, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, her eyes felt dizzy, and she thought to herself: "This is my mother's twin swords." They are still young, but they recognize the pair of little swords clearly, and they can never be wrong.She squinted at this man and recognized him clearly. He was one of the three chiefs who commanded the crowd and hunted down his parents. After twelve years, her own appearance and posture had completely changed, but a man in his thirties The 12-year-old man has grown twelve years, but not much has changed.She was afraid that he would recognize her, so she didn't dare to look at him more, she thought to herself: "If it wasn't for this blizzard, I wouldn't have seen Su Pu, and I wouldn't have seen this thief." Old man Ji said: "Where do the guests come from? Are they going somewhere far away?" The man said: "Mmm, mm!" He poured himself another bowl of wine and drank it. At this time, there were five people sitting around the fire, and Su Pu could no longer talk to Aman personally. He stared at Old Man Ji for a moment, and suddenly said, "Old man, I want to ask you about someone." Old Man Ji said "Who is it?" Su Pu said, "That's the one I used to play with when I was young, a little Han girl..." When he said this, Li Wenxiu's heart skipped a beat and she turned her head away. Dare to look at him.Su Pu continued: "Her name is Axiu. After eight or nine years, I haven't seen her again. She lives with a Han man. That must be you?" Old man Ji coughed a few times voice, wanting to get some hints from Li Wenxiu's face.But Li Wenxiu turned his head away, he didn't know how to answer, he was just "um, um" noncommittal. Su Pu said again: "Her singing is the best. Some people say that she sings better than the bell bird. But I haven't heard her sing in the past few years. Does she still live with you?" Old Man Ji was very embarrassed, and said: "No, no, she's not...she's not here anymore..." Li Wenxiu interjected, "I know that Han girl you mentioned, too. She died several years ago!" Su Pu was taken aback, and said: "Ah, she is dead, how could she have died?" Elder Ji glanced at Li Wenxiu, and said, "It's sick...sick..." Su Pu's eyes were wet, and he said: " When I was young, I often went to herd sheep with her. She sang many songs to me and told me many stories. I haven’t seen her for several years, but I never thought that she...she died.” Elder Ji sighed: “Oh, poor child. " Su Pu looked at the flames, lost his mind for a while, and said: "She said that her parents were killed by the wicked, and she came here alone..." Aman said: "Isn't this girl beautiful?" Su Pu Said: "I was young at that time, so I don't remember it. I just remember that she sang well and told stories well..." The man with the small sword in his waist suddenly said: "You mean a little Han girl? Her parents were murdered, and she came here alone?" Su Pu said, "That's right, do you recognize her too?" The man didn't answer. , and asked again: "She is riding a white horse, isn't she?" Su Pu said: "Yes, then you have seen her." The man suddenly stood up, and said sharply to Old Man Ji: "She died after you Here?" Old Man Ji agreed again vaguely.The man said: "What about the things she left behind? Are you keeping them well?" Old Man Ji glanced at him, and asked in surprise, "What's your business?" The man said, "I have something important, and it was stolen by that little girl. I couldn't find her anywhere, so I didn't expect her to do it." I'm dead..." Su Pu stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, how could Axiu steal your things?" The man asked: "What do you know?" Su Pu said: "Axiu was with me since childhood At the same time, she is a very good girl, and she will never take other people's things." The man tilted his mouth, made a contemptuous expression, and said, "But she stole my things by chance." Su Pu stretched out his hand and pressed Holding the handle of the saber at his waist, he shouted: "What's your name? I don't think you are a Kazakh, maybe you are that group of Han robbers." The man walked to the door, opened it and looked out.As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind rolled in countless snowflakes.But seeing the wind and snow all over the field, people and horses could no longer walk.The man thought to himself: "There will be no one coming outside. There is a woman, an old man, and a skinny young man in this room. They all fall down at the touch of a finger. Only this rough young man needs a few hands and feet to get rid of him. He didn't take it seriously, and said, "How about being a Han Chinese? My surname is Chen, and my name is Dahai. In the world, my nickname is Qingmang Sword. Have you heard of it?" Su Pu also didn't understand the rules of these Han people, he shook his head, and said, "I've never heard of it. Are you a Han bandit?" Chen Dahai said, "I'm an escort, and I earn my living by beating bandits. How could it be? A robber?" When Su Pu heard that he was not a robber, his expression softened immediately, and he said, "It's fine if he's not a Han robber! I said earlier that there are many good people among the Han, but my father just didn't believe it. Don't you Besides, Ah Xiu takes your things." Chen Dahai sneered and said: "This little girl is dead, do you still remember what she did?" Su Pu said: "She was my friend when she was alive, and she will still be my friend after death. I don't allow people to speak ill of her. "Chen Dahai was not in the mood to argue with him, turned around and asked Old Man Ji again, "What about the little girl's things?" Li Wenxiu was very excited when she heard Su Pu defending herself: "He didn't forget me, he didn't forget me! He still treats me very well." But hearing Chen Dahai repeatedly questioning what he left behind, he couldn't help being surprised: "I didn't What did he take from him, what is he looking for?" Elder Ji also asked: "What did the guest lose? That little girl is always honest, the old man is very trustworthy, she will never take other people's things .” Chen Dahai pondered for a while, and said: "That is a picture. It is useless to ordinary people, but because it is... it was hand-painted by my late father, I must find that picture. Since this little girl once lived in Here, have you ever seen this picture?" Old Man Ji said: "What kind of picture is it, is it a landscape or a figure?" Chen Dahai said: "It is... a landscape, right?" Su Pu sneered and said, "I don't know what kind of picture it is, and I even falsely accused someone of stealing it from you." Chen Dahai was furious, and with a swipe, he pulled out the long sword from his waist, and shouted, "Little thief, you are impatient Don’t you care about killing a man?” Su Pu also pulled out a dagger from his waist, and said coldly, “I’m afraid it’s not so easy to kill a Kazakh.” Aman said, “Su Pu, Don't be as knowledgeable as him." After listening to Aman's words, Su Pu slowly put the drawn knife back into the sheath. Chen Dahai wanted to get the map of the Gaochang Labyrinth wholeheartedly. They spent ten years in the desert and traveled thousands of miles across the desert and grasslands just to find Li Wenxiu. Now they finally heard some news. Although he was vicious by nature, But he also knew the truth that a small unbearable will lead to a big conspiracy, so he gave Su Pu a hard look, then turned to old man Ji and said, "That painting, it can also be called a map, it shows some places in the desert. Mountains and rivers and the like." Old Man Ji trembled slightly, and said, "How... how do you know that this map is in the hands of that girl?" Chen Dahai said: "This is absolutely true. If you find this map and give it to me, you should be Great reward." As he spoke, he took out two silver ingots from his pocket and put them on the table, shining brightly under the light of the fire. Old Man Ji pondered for a moment, then shook his head slowly, and said, "I've never seen it before." Chen Dahai said, "I want to see the little girl's belongings." Old Man Ji said, "This... this..." Chen Dahai joined his left hand , pulled out a small silver-handled sword, put it on the wooden table with a slamming sound, and said, "What about this and that? I'll go in and see for myself." As he spoke, he lit a suet candle, pushed the door open and entered the room.He first went into Old Man Ji's bedroom, seeing that the furnishings were not the same, he casually rummaged through the box, then went to Li Wenxiu's bedroom. He saw Li Wenxiu's hastily changed clothes, and said, "Ha, she didn't die until she grew up." This time he searched very carefully, and even found out Li Wenxiu's childhood clothes.Because Li Wenxiu's children's clothes were handmade by their mothers, although she was too old to wear them anymore, she still kept them carefully.When Chen Dahai saw these children's calico clothes, he vaguely remembered the scene of chasing her in the desert ten years ago, and shouted happily: "Yes, yes, it's her!" But he almost turned over the bedroom. Turning around, I cut open the lining of every piece of clothing for a closer look, but where can I find the shadow of the map? Seeing him ruining Li Wenxiu's belongings like this, Su Pu wanted to attack several times, but Aman stopped him each time.Occasionally, Old Man Ji glanced sideways at Li Wenxiu, only to see her staring at the fire, seemingly turning a blind eye to Chen Dahai's atrocities.Old man Ji felt sad: "Before this thug's knife, what can she do?" Li Wenxiu looked at Su Pu's expression, and his heart was both desolate and sweet: "He always remembers me. In order to protect my belongings, he actually wanted to draw a knife and fight with others." But he was very strange in his heart: "This evil bandit Said that I stole his map, what kind of map is it?" Before her mother died that day, she stuffed a map in her clothes. At that time, the crisis was urgent and there was no time to explain it. The mother and daughter broke up. There is no day to meet.Over the past ten years, those strong men from the Jinwei Escort have traveled all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, looking for her whereabouts, but Li Wenxiu herself has no knowledge of it. Chen Dahai rummaged for a long time, but he had no clue. He was extremely depressed, and suddenly asked sharply, "Where is her grave?" Putting down the iron scepter, he said, "Take me there!" Su Pu stood up and shouted, "What are you going to do?" Chen Dahai said, "Can you control me? I'm going to dig her grave." Come and see, maybe that map was brought to her grave?" Su Pu blocked the door with a horizontal knife, and shouted: "I don't allow you to touch her grave." Chen Dahai raised the iron handle, hacked at it, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" Su Pu moved to the left, and passed the knife in his hand .Chen Dahai threw away Tie Hou and drew his long sword from his waist. With a clang sound, the swords intersected. The two of them each took a step back, and then attacked at the same time, fighting together. The hall of this house is not very big, the sword is swung, the old man Ji and A'man all stand aside and stand against the wall, only Li Wenxiu is still standing in front of the window.A'man snatched up the small sword that Chen Dahai stuck on the table, and wanted to help Su Pu, but the two of them were fighting tightly, but they couldn't intervene. At this time Su Pu had fully learned from his father Su Luke, his saber skills were changing and his moves were extremely fierce, at first Chen Dahai was at a disadvantage, secretly surprised: "I never thought that this Kazakh kid's martial arts are not inferior to the masters in the Central Plains." At this moment, there was a faint sound of wind behind him, and a small sword was thrown over, but Oman suddenly launched a sneak attack.Chen Dahai moved to the right to avoid it, and with a chirping sound, his left arm was cut by Su Pu's dagger.Chen Dahai was furious, he stabbed three times in a row, and used his famous "Green Mang Sword Technique".Su Pu saw the tip of the sword flickering in front of him, like a boa constrictor spitting out a letter, he didn't know where the tip of the sword was going to stab, but he missed a block, and the enemy's long sword had already pierced the front door, so he hastily turned his head to avoid it, and was hit by the neck The sword, the blood flowed forever.Chen Dahai refused to let anyone go, and stabbed Su Pu's wrist with another sword, and with a clang, the dagger fell to the ground. Seeing his third sword thrust out, Su Pu was irresistible, and he was about to die. Li Wenxiu took a step, and when he hit the third sword, he used the "Great Grabbing Hand" to grab his arm, but Aman jumped Then, he stopped in front of Su Pu and shouted: "Don't hurt him!" Chen Dahai saw that Aman's face was like a flower, but his face was full of anxiety. When his heart moved, the sword would not be thrust out, and the tip of the sword pointed at her chest, and said with a smile: "You care about him so much, this kid is your lover. Is it?" Oman blushed and nodded.Chen Dahai said: "Alright, if you want me to spare his life, you have to follow me when the wind and snow stop tomorrow!" Su Pu was furious, roared, and rushed out from behind Aman.Chen Dahai's long sword flicked, and it was pointed at his throat, and his left foot swept across his calf again, Su Pu fell to the ground, the long sword was still pointed at his throat.Li Wenxiu stood at the side, she was very sure, if Chen Dahai really wanted to harm Su Pu, she would immediately rescue him.At this time, with her martial arts, it is really easy to deal with this person. But Oman didn't know that Dayuan was by his side, so in a hurry, he could only say: "Don't stab me, I promise." Chen Dahai was overjoyed, but he didn't move the tip of his sword, and said: "You promised to follow me tomorrow, Don't repent." Aman gritted his teeth and said, "I don't repent, you take the sword away." Chen Dahai laughed, and said, "If you repent, you won't be able to escape!" He put the long sword back into its sheath, and put Su Pu's Picking up the dagger, he held it in his hand.In this way, he is the only one in the room with a weapon on his body, and he is not afraid of resistance from everyone.He looked out of the window and said, "I can't go out right now, so I have to wait for the weather to clear before digging the grave." Aman supported Su Pu aside, seeing blood bubbling from his head and neck, he was very flustered, so he wanted to tear off his clothes to wrap him up.Su Pu took out a big handkerchief from his bosom, and said, "Use this handkerchief to wrap it up!" O'Man took the handkerchief and wrapped up his wound. Thinking that he had fallen into the hands of such a strong man, he wondered if there was a way to escape. Machine, can not help but shed tears.Su Pu cursed in a low voice: "Dog robber, thief robber!" At this time, he had already made up his mind, if the robber really wanted to take Aman away, he knew he was going to die, and he would fight to the death.
Suddenly, Li Wenxiu heard the sound of horseshoes trampling on the snow.A horse was approaching the house.The snow on the grassland was already deep, and it was very difficult to pull the horse's feet up, and he could not run fast. The horse gradually approached, and Old Man Ji also heard it, and murmured: "Another person sheltering from the wind and snow." Su Pu and A'man either didn't hear it, or they heard it and ignored it.

He said and brought him a bowl of wine.The man gulped it all down, sat down beside the fire, and unbuttoned his coat, only to see a shiny short sword stuck on the left and right sides of his belt.The hilts of the two swords are golden and the other silver.

I couldn't find her anywhere, so I didn't expect her to do it." I'm dead..." Su Pu stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, how could Axiu steal your things?" The man asked: "What do you know?" Su Pu said: "Axiu was with me since childhood At the same time, she is a very good girl, and she will never take other people's things." The man tilted his mouth, made a contemptuous expression, and said, "But she stole my things by chance." Su Pu stretched out his hand and pressed Holding the handle of the saber at his waist, he shouted: "What's your name? I don't think you are a Kazakh, maybe you are that group of Han robbers." The man walked to the door, opened it and looked out.As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind rolled in countless snowflakes.But seeing the wind and snow all over the field, people and horses could no longer walk.The man thought to himself: "There will be no one coming outside. There is a woman, an old man, and a skinny young man in this room. They all fall down at the touch of a finger. Only this rough young man needs a few hands and feet to get rid of him. He didn't take it seriously, and said, "How about being a Han Chinese? My surname is Chen, and my name is Dahai. In the world, my nickname is Qingmang Sword. Have you heard of it?" Su Pu also didn't understand the rules of these Han people, he shook his head, and said, "I've never heard of it. Are you a Han bandit?" Chen Dahai said, "I'm an escort, and I earn my living by beating bandits. How could it be? A robber?" When Su Pu heard that he was not a robber, his expression softened immediately, and he said, "It's fine if he's not a Han robber! I said earlier that there are many good people among the Han, but my father just didn't believe it. Don't you Besides, Ah Xiu takes your things." Chen Dahai sneered and said: "This little girl is dead, do you still remember what she did?" Su Pu said: "She was my friend when she was alive, and she will still be my friend after death. I don't allow people to speak ill of her. "Chen Dahai was not in the mood to argue with him, turned around and asked Old Man Ji again, "What about the little girl's things?" Li Wenxiu was very excited when she heard Su Pu defending herself: "He didn't forget me, he didn't forget me! He still treats me very well." But hearing Chen Dahai repeatedly questioning what he left behind, he couldn't help being surprised: "I didn't What did he take from him, what is he looking for?" Elder Ji also asked: "What did the guest lose? That little girl is always honest, the old man is very trustworthy, she will never take other people's things .” Chen Dahai pondered for a while, and said: "That is a picture. It is useless to ordinary people, but because it is... it was hand-painted by my late father, I must find that picture. Since this little girl once lived in Here, have you ever seen this picture?" Old Man Ji said: "What kind of picture is it, is it a landscape or a figure?" Chen Dahai said: "It is... a landscape, right?" Su Pu sneered and said, "I don't know what kind of picture it is, and I even falsely accused someone of stealing it from you." Chen Dahai was furious, and with a swipe, he pulled out the long sword from his waist, and shouted, "Little thief, you are impatient Don’t you care about killing a man?” Su Pu also pulled out a dagger from his waist, and said coldly, “I’m afraid it’s not so easy to kill a Kazakh.” Aman said, “Su Pu, Don't be as knowledgeable as him." After listening to Aman's words, Su Pu slowly put the drawn knife back into the sheath. Chen Dahai wanted to get the map of the Gaochang Labyrinth wholeheartedly. They spent ten years in the desert and traveled thousands of miles across the desert and grasslands just to find Li Wenxiu. Now they finally heard some news. Although he was vicious by nature, But he also knew the truth that a small unbearable will lead to a big conspiracy, so he gave Su Pu a hard look, then turned to old man Ji and said, "That painting, it can also be called a map, it shows some places in the desert. Mountains and rivers and the like." Old Man Ji trembled slightly, and said, "How... how do you know that this map is in the hands of that girl?" Chen Dahai said: "This is absolutely true. If you find this map and give it to me, you should be Great reward." As he spoke, he took out two silver ingots from his pocket and put them on the table, shining brightly under the light of the fire. Old Man Ji pondered for a moment, then shook his head slowly, and said, "I've never seen it before." Chen Dahai said, "I want to see the little girl's belongings." Old Man Ji said, "This... this..." Chen Dahai joined his left hand , pulled out a small silver-handled sword, put it on the wooden table with a slamming sound, and said, "What about this and that? I'll go in and see for myself." As he spoke, he lit a suet candle, pushed the door open and entered the room.He first went into Old Man Ji's bedroom, seeing that the furnishings were not the same, he casually rummaged through the box, then went to Li Wenxiu's bedroom. He saw Li Wenxiu's hastily changed clothes, and said, "Ha, she didn't die until she grew up." This time he searched very carefully, and even found out Li Wenxiu's childhood clothes.Because Li Wenxiu's children's clothes were handmade by their mothers, although she was too old to wear them anymore, she still kept them carefully.When Chen Dahai saw these children's calico clothes, he vaguely remembered the scene of chasing her in the desert ten years ago, and shouted happily: "Yes, yes, it's her!" But he almost turned over the bedroom. Turning around, I cut open the lining of every piece of clothing for a closer look, but where can I find the shadow of the map? Seeing him ruining Li Wenxiu's belongings like this, Su Pu wanted to attack several times, but Aman stopped him each time.Occasionally, Old Man Ji glanced sideways at Li Wenxiu, only to see her staring at the fire, seemingly turning a blind eye to Chen Dahai's atrocities.Old man Ji felt sad: "Before this thug's knife, what can she do?" Li Wenxiu looked at Su Pu's expression, and his heart was both desolate and sweet: "He always remembers me. In order to protect my belongings, he actually wanted to draw a knife and fight with others." But he was very strange in his heart: "This evil bandit Said that I stole his map, what kind of map is it?" Before her mother died that day, she stuffed a map in her clothes. At that time, the crisis was urgent and there was no time to explain it. The mother and daughter broke up. There is no day to meet.Over the past ten years, those strong men from the Jinwei Escort have traveled all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, looking for her whereabouts, but Li Wenxiu herself has no knowledge of it. Chen Dahai rummaged for a long time, but he had no clue. He was extremely depressed, and suddenly asked sharply, "Where is her grave?" Putting down the iron scepter, he said, "Take me there!" Su Pu stood up and shouted, "What are you going to do?" Chen Dahai said, "Can you control me? I'm going to dig her grave." Come and see, maybe that map was brought to her grave?" Su Pu blocked the door with a horizontal knife, and shouted: "I don't allow you to touch her grave." Chen Dahai raised the iron handle, hacked at it, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" Su Pu moved to the left, and passed the knife in his hand .Chen Dahai threw away Tie Hou and drew his long sword from his waist. With a clang sound, the swords intersected. The two of them each took a step back, and then attacked at the same time, fighting together. The hall of this house is not very big, the sword is swung, the old man Ji and A'man all stand aside and stand against the wall, only Li Wenxiu is still standing in front of the window.A'man snatched up the small sword that Chen Dahai stuck on the table, and wanted to help Su Pu, but the two of them were fighting tightly, but they couldn't intervene. At this time Su Pu had fully learned from his father Su Luke, his saber skills were changing and his moves were extremely fierce, at first Chen Dahai was at a disadvantage, secretly surprised: "I never thought that this Kazakh kid's martial arts are not inferior to the masters in the Central Plains." At this moment, there was a faint sound of wind behind him, and a small sword was thrown over, but Oman suddenly launched a sneak attack.Chen Dahai moved to the right to avoid it, and with a chirping sound, his left arm was cut by Su Pu's dagger.Chen Dahai was furious, he stabbed three times in a row, and used his famous "Green Mang Sword Technique".Su Pu saw the tip of the sword flickering in front of him, like a boa constrictor spitting out a letter, he didn't know where the tip of the sword was going to stab, but he missed a block, and the enemy's long sword had already pierced the front door, so he hastily turned his head to avoid it, and was hit by the neck The sword, the blood flowed forever.Chen Dahai refused to let anyone go, and stabbed Su Pu's wrist with another sword, and with a clang, the dagger fell to the ground. Seeing his third sword thrust out, Su Pu was irresistible, and he was about to die. Li Wenxiu took a step, and when he hit the third sword, he used the "Great Grabbing Hand" to grab his arm, but Aman jumped Then, he stopped in front of Su Pu and shouted: "Don't hurt him!" Chen Dahai saw that Aman's face was like a flower, but his face was full of anxiety. When his heart moved, the sword would not be thrust out, and the tip of the sword pointed at her chest, and said with a smile: "You care about him so much, this kid is your lover. Is it?" Oman blushed and nodded.Chen Dahai said: "Alright, if you want me to spare his life, you have to follow me when the wind and snow stop tomorrow!" Su Pu was furious, roared, and rushed out from behind Aman.Chen Dahai's long sword flicked, and it was pointed at his throat, and his left foot swept across his calf again, Su Pu fell to the ground, the long sword was still pointed at his throat.Li Wenxiu stood at the side, she was very sure, if Chen Dahai really wanted to harm Su Pu, she would immediately rescue him.At this time, with her martial arts, it is really easy to deal with this person. But Oman didn't know that Dayuan was by his side, so in a hurry, he could only say: "Don't stab me, I promise." Chen Dahai was overjoyed, but he didn't move the tip of his sword, and said: "You promised to follow me tomorrow, Don't repent." Aman gritted his teeth and said, "I don't repent, you take the sword away." Chen Dahai laughed, and said, "If you repent, you won't be able to escape!" He put the long sword back into its sheath, and put Su Pu's Picking up the dagger, he held it in his hand.In this way, he is the only one in the room with a weapon on his body, and he is not afraid of resistance from everyone.He looked out of the window and said, "I can't go out right now, so I have to wait for the weather to clear before digging the grave." Aman supported Su Pu aside, seeing blood bubbling from his head and neck, he was very flustered, so he wanted to tear off his clothes to wrap him up.Su Pu took out a big handkerchief from his bosom, and said, "Use this handkerchief to wrap it up!" O'Man took the handkerchief and wrapped up his wound. Thinking that he had fallen into the hands of such a strong man, he wondered if there was a way to escape. Machine, can not help but shed tears.Su Pu cursed in a low voice: "Dog robber, thief robber!" At this time, he had already made up his mind, if the robber really wanted to take Aman away, he knew he was going to die, and he would fight to the death.
