Chapter 6 Chapter Six
After the fight just now, the five people gathered around the fire, all of them were very nervous.With a knife in one hand and a wine bowl in the other, Chen Dahai looked at Aman and Su Pu from time to time.Outside the house, the north wind howled furiously, rolling up clusters of snow, slapping on the walls and roofs.No one spoke.
Li Wenxiu was thinking in his heart: "Let this villain be rampant for a while, and kill him if he is not busy." Suddenly a firewood knot in the fire burst, and with a bang, the fire head dimmed for a while, and then became very bright. , according to everyone's face clearly.Li Wenxiu saw the handkerchief wrapped around Su Pu's head and neck, her heart froze, and she stared at it intently.Seeing the strangeness in her eyes, old man Ji also glanced at the handkerchief, and asked, "Su Pu, where did you get this handkerchief?"
Su Pu froze, put his hands on his head and neck, and said, "You mean this handkerchief? It was given to me by the dead Axiu. We were herding sheep together when we were young, and a big bad wolf came to bite us. I killed the handkerchief. A wolf, but I was also bitten by a wolf. Axiu used this handkerchief to wrap my wound..."
When Li Wenxiu listened to these words, everything she could see was blurred, and it turned out that her eyes were already filled with tears.
Old man Ji went into the inner room, took out a white cloth, handed it to Su Pu, and said, "Use this cloth to wrap your wound, please take off your handkerchief and show me." Su Pu said, "Why?" Chen Dahai When old man Ji was talking, he had been paying close attention to the handkerchief around Su Pu's neck, at this moment he suddenly stood up with the knife in his hand, and shouted: "Untie it if you tell me." Su Pu didn't look angrily.Fearing that Chen Dahai would use force, Aman took off the handkerchief for Su Pu, handed it to Old Man Ji, and then wrapped Su Pu's wound with a white cloth.
Old Man Ji spread the blood-stained handkerchief on the table, lit up the oil lamp, and leaned over to examine it carefully.Chen Dahai stared for a while, and suddenly exclaimed happily: "Yes, yes, this is the map of the Gaochang Labyrinth!" He stretched out his hand and grabbed the handkerchief, laughing loudly, overjoyed.
Old Man Ji moved his right arm, as if he wanted to snatch the handkerchief, but he finally restrained himself.
At this moment, someone shouted from a distance: "Su Pu, Su Pu..." Someone else shouted loudly: "Aman, Oman..." Su Pu and Aman jumped up at the same time, shouting in unison "Daddy is looking for us." Su Pu ran to the door, and was about to open it, when suddenly the back of his neck felt cold, and a long sword was resting on his neck.Chen Dahai said coldly: "Sit down for me, don't move!" Su Pu had no choice but to sit down.
After a while, the footsteps of two people came to the door.Su Luke said: "Is this the house of the traitor Han? I won't go in." Che Erku said: "Not going in? But where do you go to shelter from the wind and snow? My ears are so cold that they are about to fall off."
Su Luke was holding a wine gourd in his hand, and had been drinking on the road to drive away the cold. At this time, he was already drunk, and said drunkenly, "I'd rather freeze my head than go into a Han's house." Che Erku said "If you don't go in, you'll freeze to death in the wind and snow. I'm going in." Su Luke said: "My son and your daughter haven't been found yet, so why did you hide in the house of the thieves? You...you He doesn't even have any heroism." Che Erku said, "I didn't see the two of them along the way, so they must be hiding somewhere, so don't worry. Don't worry if the two young ones are not found, the two old ones will freeze to death first. "
Su Pu saw Chen Dahai holding out his long sword and hiding by the door, waiting for someone to come in. The situation was extremely critical, so he shouted: "You can't come in!" You." Seeing that his father was in danger, Su Pu lifted the stool and rushed towards Chen Dahai.Chen Dahai evaded sideways, and slashed his sword, hitting Su Pu's thigh.Su Pu yelled and fell to the ground.He is very agile, afraid that the enemy will be slashed with his sword again, he immediately rolls over, rolling several feet away.
Chen Dahai didn't chase after him, he just raised his sword and guarded behind the door, thinking that this Kazakh kid will be able to cook in a blink of an eye, and let him live a little longer, but the two people who came outside had to be chopped down first.
Outside the door, Su Luke shouted with his tongue out: "If you want to enter the damn Han's house, I'll beat you!" As he said that, he punched Che Erku in the chest.If Che Erku was in normal times, he would have known that he was a drunk, and would not have bothered with him even though he had been punched hard, but at this moment the wine in his stomach was welling up, and he stretched out his foot to hook him.Su Luke could not stand still, he tripped and fell immediately, but took advantage of the situation and hugged his calf.The two rolled and fought in the snow.
Suddenly, Su Luke grabbed a ball of snow from the ground and stuffed it into Che Erku's mouth. Che Erku hurriedly stretched out his hands to grab and dig, and Su Luke laughed happily.Che Erku spat out the snow in his mouth, and punched Su Luke, causing blood to flow from Su Luke's nose.Su Luke didn't feel any pain, and kept laughing, but grabbed Che Erku's hair and didn't let go.Both of them are well-known warriors among the Kazakhs, but when they were drunk, they fought like urchins.
Su Pu and A'man were extremely anxious, they all hoped that Su Luke would win and Che Erku would be prevented from entering.But there was a constant sound of bang bang bang outside the door, you punched me, I punched you, laughing and cursing, talking drunkenly.Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the door slammed open, and the cold wind and sleet rushed in. At the same time, Su Luke and Che Erku embraced each other, rolled on the ground and entered.The plank door slammed open suddenly, but Chen Dahai was caught behind the door, so he couldn't cut through it with his sword.I saw Su Luke and Che Erku entered the room, still fighting endlessly.
Che Erku said: "Didn't you just come in?" Su Luke was furious, put his arms around his neck, and only shouted: "Get out, get out!" One wanted to hold down the other and not let him move.Suddenly Su Luke started singing, and shouted again: "You can't beat me, I am the number one warrior in Kazakhstan, Su Pu is the second, and Su Pu's future son will be the third...Your Che Erku is the fifth..."
Seeing that they were two drunks, Chen Dahai thought that there was nothing to be afraid of.At that time, the wind was very strong, only sparks flew in the fire, Chen Dahai hurriedly closed the door forcefully.Seeing their father rolling towards the fire, Su Pu and A'man rushed to help him, calling at the same time: "Daddy, Daddy." But their bodies were heavy, how could they help them up?
Su Pu shouted: "Father, father! This man is a Han robber!"
Although Su Luke was very drunk, he had never forgotten the deep hatred of the Han bandits for ten years. When he heard the word "Han bandits", he became sober for three minutes, jumped up, and shouted, "Where are the Han bandits?" Su Pu asked Chen Dahai. one finger.Su Luke stretched out his hand to draw the knife from his waist, but he and Che Erku fought for a while, and dropped the knife in the snow outside the door, he found nothing and shouted: "Where is the knife, where is the knife? I killed him!"
Chen Dahai raised his long sword, pointed at his throat, and shouted: "Kneel down!" Su Luke was furious, and threw himself on him, but he was exhausted after drinking, and he fell down before he jumped in front of the enemy.Chen Dahai sneered, swiped his sword and slashed down, and blood burst out from Su Luke's shoulder.Su Luke screamed loudly and wanted to stand up desperately, but his legs were like mud, and he couldn't stand up no matter what.
Che Erku roared and ran towards Chen Dahai.Chen Dahai stabbed out with his sword and hit his right leg, causing Che Erku to fall down immediately.
Old man Ji turned his head to look at Li Wenxiu, he saw her expression was calm, she showed no sign of fear.
Chen Dahai sneered and said, "You Kazakh dogs, I will kill you one by one today." Aman ran up to block his father, and said in a trembling voice, "I promise to go with you, so you can't kill them." Che Erku Angrily said: "No! You can't go with this dog robber, let him kill me."
Chen Dahai took a long rope from the wall to tie the sheep, put the loop around Oman's neck, and said with a grin: "Okay, you are my captive and my slave! You swear that you will never betray me." , then spare these Kazakh bastards!"
Aman burst into tears, thinking that if he did not agree, his father and Su Pu would be killed by him, so he had to swear: "Allah, from now on, I will be my master's slave and obey all his orders. Never dare to escape, dare not disobey his orders! Otherwise, after death, he will fall into the fire pit, and he will not be able to survive."
Chen Dahai laughed out loud, extremely proud, tonight he won the map of the Gaochang Labyrinth and this beautiful girl, he is really happier than ascending to immortality.He had been in Xinjiang for a long time, and he knew that the Kazakhs believed in Islam. As long as they swear in the name of Allah, they would not dare to betray, so he pulled the long rope and said, "Come here, sit at your master's feet!" Oman felt wronged So desperate, I had to go to his feet and sit down.Chen Dahai reached out to stroke her hair, and Aman couldn't help crying.
At this moment, Su Pu couldn't bear it any longer, he jumped up and rushed towards Chen Dahai.Chen Dahai stretched out his long sword, pointing at his chest.Su Pu only needed to move forward half a foot, and he pierced his chest into the sword point.Aman shouted: "Su Pu, step back!" Su Pu gritted his teeth as if fire was coming out of his eyes, and stood on the ground.
Chen Dahai poured a bowl of wine, took a sip, took out the handkerchief, and put it on his lap for a closer look.
Old Man Ji suddenly said, "How do you know this is the map of the Gaochang Labyrinth?" He said in Chinese.Chen Dahai thought to himself: "Anyway, none of you can survive today, so I might as well tell you." After searching for twelve years, his wish was finally fulfilled, and he was full of joy. He said to himself, he held a handkerchief in both hands, and said: "We have found out that the map of the Gaochang Labyrinth is the white horse Li San and his wife. They can't find it on their bodies. It is in the hands of their daughter. This handkerchief belongs to the little girl surnamed Li, and there are mountains and rivers on it, so it must be right." Pointing to the handkerchief, he said: "Look, this handkerchief is made of silk. The graphics of mountains, rivers and deserts are woven in the middle with cotton thread. The silk is yellow silk, and the cotton thread is also yellow thread, and you can’t see it normally, but once it is stained with blood, the cotton thread absorbs more blood than the silk, and then it separates.”
Li Wenxiu stared at the handkerchief, and it was as he said, the yellow silk handkerchief was stained with blood, and the pattern appeared, and the part that was not stained with blood was yellow.That day when Su Pu was bitten by a wolf, he didn't bleed much, the figure on the handkerchief was only a corner, but tonight he was wounded by a sword, and more than half of the figure appeared.Only now did she realize that there was such a big secret hidden in the handkerchief.
Both Su Luke and Che Erku were not seriously injured, they both thought in their hearts: "When I sober up, I will definitely kill this Han robber." Che Erku said: "Old man, give me Some water to drink." Old Man Ji said: "Okay!" Standing up, he went to get some water.Chen Dahai sternly shouted: "Sit down for me, no one is allowed to move." Old Man Ji snorted and sat down.
Chen Dahai thought in his heart: "If these people work together to deal with me and rush forward, it will be bad. Take these two old Kazakh dogs before they wake up, so kill them first, so as to be safe." Slowly walked to Su Luke , suddenly drew out the long sword, and chopped it down on his head.This swipe of the sword was sudden, and the action was extremely fast, Su Luke had no room to dodge.Su Pu yelled loudly, and was about to rush to rescue him, how could there be time?
Chen Dahai was about to slash Su Luke's head with his sword, when suddenly he heard a whoosh, and an object was thrown in front of him, it was coming very urgently, he didn't care about hurting others in his panic, he jumped to the left, there was a loud ping-pong sound, the object It hit the wall and shattered immediately, but it turned out to be a tea bowl, and after a certain amount of concentration, it was clear that the one who threw the tea bowl at him was Li Wenxiu.
Chen Dahai was furious, seeing this young Kazakh boy thin and fair, like a woman, he ignored him, but he dared to slap flies on the tiger's head, pointing his sword at her and scolding: "Kazakh puppy, are you impatient? "
Li Wenxiu slowly unbuttoned his Kazakh coat, except that when he came down, he revealed the short jacket of Han clothes inside, and said in Kazakh: "I am not a Kazakh. I am a Han." Pointing to Su Luke with his left hand, he said: "This Kazakh uncle, you think Han people are all robbers and bad people. I want him to know that not all of us Han people are robbers, but there are also good people.”
Everyone could see Chen Dahai's sword just now. If Li Wenxiu hadn't thrown a bowl to save him, Su Luke would have been killed by now. Hearing what she said, Su Pu first said: "Thank you for saving my father!" Su Luke But he was very stubborn and said loudly: "You are a Han Chinese, I don't want you to save me, let this bandit kill me."
Chen Dahai took a step forward and asked Li Wenxiu, "Who are you? You are Han, what are you doing here?" Li Wenxiu sneered slightly, and said, "You don't know me, but I know you. The robbing of the Kazakh tribe killed many Kazakhs Yes, it’s you Han bandits.” At this point, his voice became very bitter, thinking in his heart: “If you bandits hadn’t done so many bad things, Su Luke wouldn’t hate us Han people so much.” Chen Dahai said loudly Said: "So what if it's Lao Tzu?"
Li Wenxiu pointed at Aman and said: "She is your slave girl, I want to take her here and be my slave girl!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.
Chen Dahai was stunned, laughed loudly, and said: "Okay, you can grab it if you have the ability." With a flick of the long sword, the blade trembled and buzzed.
Li Wenxiu turned to Aman and said: "In the name of Allah, you swore an oath to be a slave girl with him for the rest of your life. If he can't beat me, you take it from me, then you will be my slave girl for the rest of your life, right? ?” Kazakhs fought with other tribes, and if they captured the enemy, they would be treated as slaves, as stipulated in the Koran of Islam.The status of a slave is no different from that of an animal, and it has no right of autonomy. It is left to the master to control the transaction. If the master is subdued, his property, animals, and slaves will inevitably belong to others.Hearing what she said, Aman thought to himself: "I have become a slave girl anyway. Instead of being tortured by this evil bandit, it is better to treat you as my master." So he nodded and said: "Yes." Then he said: "You ...You can't beat him. This bandit's martial arts are very good." Li Wenxiu said: "Then you don't have to worry, I can't beat him, so I will kill him naturally." Clapping his hands, he said to Chen Dahai: "Go! "
Chen Dahai wondered: "Are you fighting me empty-handed?" Li Wenxiu said: "What kind of weapon do you need to kill you evil bandit?" Chen Dahai thought to himself: "Everyone here is an enemy, the more time you endure, the more dangerous they will be. It's better to support yourself." He shouted: "Look at the sword!" The sharp sword stretched out, and with a move of "poisonous snake out of the hole", it stabbed Li Wenxiu in the chest, with great urgency.
Old Man Ji shouted: "Quickly step back!" He expected that Li Wenxiu would be difficult to resist, but unexpectedly Li Wenxiu swayed, dodged lightly and skillfully, grabbed Chen Dahai's left head, thrust his left elbow back, and slammed into his waist.Chen Dahai shouted: "Okay!" The long sword circled and sliced towards her arm.Li Wenxiu flew up his right foot and kicked his wrist, this move "Ye Di Flying Swallow" is one of Hua Hui's unique moves, Li Wenxiu practiced hard for seven or eight days before he mastered it, it is light and quick, very amazing.Chen Dahai hastily withdrew his hand, but he couldn't make it in time, his wrist hurt and he was kicked, finally the opponent's foot strength was not very strong, so Chen Dahai didn't let go of his long sword.He growled loudly and leapt back.Old Man Ji let out a "Huh", extremely surprised.
Chen Dahai stroked his wrist, straightened his sword and raised it again, fighting with Li Wenxiu.At this moment, he didn't dare to underestimate this thin young man, he saw that he was really good at making moves, so he immediately used the "Green Python Sword Technique", with vicious moves, trying to stab the young man to death.Li Wenxiu was taught by his master Hua Hui. He has agility and exquisite moves, but he has never fought with others and has no experience in front of the battle. At first, he wanted to kill this villain to avenge his parents with a sense of hatred. Afterwards, he had gradually grasped the way to deal with the enemy's swordsmanship, and gradually calmed down his mind.
Old man Ji's thatched hut was very narrow, and there was a fire in the living room. Chen and Li leaped and fought beside the fire, and the distance between their swords and fists was often within an inch. It seemed that Chen Dahai's every sword could beat Li Wenxiu's Doom, but she always either fights back or dodges, dismantling them one by one.Su Luke and the others just opened their mouths wide open.However, Old Man Ji became more frightened the more he looked at it, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
The two fought to the point where Chen Dahai slashed his sword "Spiritual Snake Spits Out Letters", and the point of the sword pointed at Li Wenxiu's throat.Li Wenxiu lowered his head, and jumped up from under the sword, his left arm blocked the enemy's right arm, and swept his long sword towards the outer door, with both hands already grasping the two small gold and silver swords at Chen Dahai's waist, he drew and gave away, poof With a sound, it penetrated into his left and right shoulder sockets at the same time.
Chen Dahai screamed "Ah", dropped his long sword, staggered back one after another, leaned his back against the wall, and only panted.The two small swords were inserted into the shoulder sockets until they reached the hilt, and the point of the swords came out from the vest. His tendons were broken, and his arms had no strength. stand up?
All the people in the room cheered loudly, shouting: "The evil bandit has been defeated, the evil bandit has been defeated!" Even Su Luke also shouted loudly.Su Pu and Aman embraced each other, overjoyed.Only old man Ji still couldn't help trembling, his teeth chattering and rattling.
Li Wenxiu knew that he was afraid because of her worries, so she walked over and held his thick palm, put her mouth next to his ear, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Ji, don't be afraid, this evil bandit can't beat me." It was cold, but still shaking very badly.
Li Wenxiu turned her head and saw Su Pu hugging O'Man tightly. The joy of victory that was overflowing in her heart disappeared in an instant. She felt that she was also trembling. cold.
She let go of Old Man Ji's hand, walked over to hold the long rope that was still around Aman's neck, and said coldly: "You are my slave girl, you have to follow me for the rest of your life."
Su Pu and Aman felt a chill in their hearts at the same time, and the four arms that hugged each other loosened.They know that this is a rule passed down from generation to generation in Kazakhstan, and it is an irresistible destiny.Both of their faces turned pale!
Li Wenxiu sighed, took the rope ring out of Aman's neck, and said: "Su Pu likes you, I... I won't make him sad. You are Su Pu's man!" As he spoke, he gently pulled Aman Push, let her snuggle into Su Pu's arms.
Su Pu and Aman couldn't believe their ears, they asked in unison: "Really?" Li Wenxiu smiled wryly, "Of course it's true." Su Pu and Aman grabbed her hand and kept shaking it, Said: "Thank you, thank you!"
Under their ecstasy, they didn't realize that there were a few more tears on their arms, and they were tears falling from Li Wenxiu's eyes.
Su Luke struggled to stand up, slapped Li Wenxiu's shoulder heavily with his big hand, and said, "Sure enough, there are good people among the Han people. But... But, I'm afraid you're the only one!"
Che Erku shouted: "Bring wine, bring wine. I'll invite everyone to drink, invite good Kazakhs to drink, invite good Han people to drink, to celebrate catching the evil bandit, hey! Where's the bandit?"
When everyone turned their heads, they saw that Chen Dahai had disappeared.It turned out that everyone was watching Li Wenxiu and A Man just now, but the robber took the opportunity to escape through the back door.
Su Luke was furious, and shouted: "Let's chase after him!" He opened the board door, a gust of wind blew in, his feet were still powerless, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground.
The cold wind and snow were so fierce that everyone felt that they could not breathe.Aman said: "In such a heavy snowstorm, forgive him for not being able to go far. He barely struggled and must die in the snow. When the wind subsides after dawn, we will go to the snow to find the corpse of this villain. Su Pu nodded and closed the door.
Su Luke stared at Li Wenxiu, and after a while, he said, "Little brother, you are a Kazakh, aren't you?" Li Wenxiu shook his head and said, "No, I am Han!" Su Luke said, "Impossible, you They are Han people, why did they defeat that Han robber and save us Kazakhs?" Li Wenxiu said: "There are bad people among the Han people, and there are also good people. I...I am not a bad person."
Su Luke murmured: "Are there good people among the Han people?" He slowly shook his head.But his life, his son's life, was obviously saved by this young Han Chinese, but he couldn't help but not believe it.
He hated the Han people all his life, and now this belief is being shaken.He was angry with himself, why was he so drunk last night that he couldn't fight the Han robbers, but asked another Han to save his life?
In his life, when things came to a critical juncture, it was always so unfortunate, always bad luck.However, the long sword of the bandit just now had already cut to the top of his head, but luckily the boy rescued him in time, is this also a coincidence?Is it also bad luck?
