Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Four

If Xiao Feng had not seen the scene in the room at this moment, no matter who said he knew it, he would definitely denounce it as absurd.Since he met Mrs. Ma for the first time in the apricot forest outside Wuxi City, he has met Madam Ma twice since then. Like this.What's even more strange is that she framed Duan Zhengchun with her words, so she must have a deep hatred with him, but looking at the expression in the small room, the wine is full of fragrance and lingering affection, the two of them exchanged glances, only seeing contempt and close love, there is no such thing as love. Half a grudge?

A large vase on the table is filled with red plums.In the kang, it was believed that the charcoal fire was burning vigorously, and the buttons on Mrs. Ma's neck were unbuttoned, revealing her snow-white neck and the edge of a red satin tube top.The two candles lit beside the kang were white, and the red candlelight shone on her flushed cheeks.It was windy and snowy outside the house, but it was warm and spring inside the small room. I just heard Duan Zhengchun say: "Come, come, have another drink with me, enough to make a couple." Mrs. Ma snorted, and said in a tired voice: "What is a pair? I am alone here, lonely and deserted, thinking day and night, looking forward to night, always remembering you as an enemy, you...you... ...but you have long left people behind, why would you want to visit me?" Having said this, the circles of his eyes turned red.

Xiao Feng thought to himself: "Hearing her talk, she is similar to Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu, could it be...could it be...is she also Duan Zhengchun's old lover?" Duan Zhengchun said in a low voice: "I am in Dali, what day do I not worry about my well-off life? I wish I could fly here, hold you in my arms, and take pity on you. That day Hearing the news of your marriage to Deputy Chief Ma, I haven’t had a bite of food for three days and three nights. Now that you have a home, if I visit you again, I will tire you. Deputy Chief Ma is a very important member of the beggar gang. Hero, hero, I will come to tell you this and that again, but I am too sorry for him, this...isn't this a despicable villain?"

Mrs. Ma said: "Who cares that you come to show me hospitality? I just miss you. Is your body safe? Is your heart happy? Is everything going well? As long as you are good, I will be happy, and being a person will have a good taste. You Far away in Dali, I don’t know how difficult it is to inquire about your information. I am in Xinyang, and when will this heart not be by your side?” She spoke more and more quietly, Xiao Feng only felt that her words were greasy and astringent, soft, with endless lingering twists and turns, it was really soul-stirring to hear, it was fascinating and soul-stirring.However, her words seem to be purely natural, not intentionally flirtatious.He has met quite a few people in his life, and he never imagined that there would be such a charming woman in the world.Although Xiao Feng was surprised, his face turned red involuntarily.He had met Duan Zhengchun's other two mistresses before, Qin Hongmian was bright and straightforward, Ruan Xingzhu was pretty and charming, but this Madam Ma was extremely soft, extremely greasy, another kind of romantic.

Duan Zhengchun smiled brightly, stretched out his hand and pulled her over, hugging her in his arms.Mrs. Ma let out a "huh", half pushed and half refused, and stretched out her hand to slightly resist. Xiao Feng frowned, he didn't want to see the ugliness of the two of them, suddenly he heard someone beside him stepping hard on the snow, making a rubbing sound.He secretly called out: "No, these two will overturn the jar of vinegar, and it will ruin my event." With his figure like the wind, he floated behind Qin Hongmian and the other four, and touched the acupoints on the backs of the four of them one by one. .

The four people didn't know who made the hands and feet, they couldn't move anymore, this time Xiao Feng tapped Ya acupoint, they couldn't speak.Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu'er heard such a love story between their lover and the woman next to them, they were so angry and jealous, they fell down in the snow, both suffering. Xiao Feng looked through the window again, and saw Mrs. Ma was already sitting beside Duan Zhengchun, with her head resting on his shoulder, her whole body seemed to have lost half of her bones, and it was difficult for him to support himself, a piece of long black hair fell down to cover him. It blocked half of Duan Zhengchun's face.She opened and closed her eyes slightly, only a slit was exposed, and she said: "My head was killed by others, you should have heard the rumors, and you didn't come to see me? My head is dead, so you don't need to avoid suspicion anymore? "The voice sounded like complaining and acting like a baby.

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "I'm here, right? As soon as I got the news, I immediately set off overnight and rushed all the way from Dali without stopping. I'm afraid I'm a step late." Madam Ma said: "I'm afraid I'm a step late Duan Zhengchun laughed and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the loneliness and get married again. Wouldn't I, Dali Duan Er, end up in a waste of time? Teach me ten years of lovesickness, and it's a waste of money." Madam Ma spat After taking a sip, he said: "Hey, I don't say good things. I sent someone to marry someone because I couldn't bear the loneliness and loneliness? When have you ever thought about me? What are you saying about ten years of love, you are not afraid to rot your tongue."

Duan Zhengchun retracted his arms, hugged her even tighter, and said with a smile, "If I don't miss you, why would I rush all the way from Dali?" Madam Ma smiled and said, "Well, even if you miss me too. Duan Lang, how will you arrange for me in the future?" Having said that, he stretched out his arms, wrapped them around Duan Zhengchun's neck, pressed his cheek against his face, and rubbed it lightly, his hair was as unruffled as waves. Stop trembling. Duan Zhengchun said: "Today I'm drunk, now I'm drunk, what's the matter with him in the future? Come, let me hug you. After ten years of goodbye, are you lighter or heavier?" He hugged Mrs. Ma.

Mrs. Ma said: "Then you won't take me to Dali after all?" Duan Zhengchun frowned slightly, and said, "What's so interesting about Dali? It's hot, humid, and full of miasma. If you go there, you won't acclimate to the climate and you will get sick. Madam Ma sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Well, you just came to make me happy again." Duan Zhengchun laughed and said, "Why is it empty joy? I will make you really happy right away." " Madam Ma made a slight effort, landed on the ground, poured a glass of wine, and said, "Duan Lang, have another glass." Duan Zhengchun said, "I won't drink anymore, enough wine!" Madam Ma stretched out her left hand to caress his face, Said: "No, I don't agree, I want you to drink until you are sleepy." Duan Zhengchun laughed and said, "What's the good of being a drinker?" He took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Xiao Feng was very impatient when he heard the two of them talking all the romantic words, seeing Duan Zhengchun drinking, he couldn't help the alcohol addiction, he swallowed his saliva lightly. Duan Zhengchun yawned, showing his tiredness.Madam Ma said with a charming smile: "Duan Lang, let me tell you a story, okay?" Xiao Feng was refreshed and thought: "If she wants to tell a story, there may be some clues to find." But Duan Zhengchun said: "Don't rush to talk, come on, I'll undress you, and you whisper to me beside the pillow." Mrs. Ma rolled her eyes at him, and said, "What do you think! Duan Lang, when I was young, my family was very poor and I wanted to wear new clothes, but my father couldn't afford them. If you wear flowered dresses and shoes, you will be happy." Duan Zhengchun said: "You must have been very handsome when you were young, such a cute little girl, even if she is wearing tattered clothes, she is also very beautiful." Madam Ma said: "No, I just love wearing flowered clothes." Duan Zhengchun said, "You are wearing this filial dress, white and pink, um, it's a little more pretty, what's so good about flowered clothes?"

Mrs. Ma pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly and softly: "When I was a child, I thought about it day and night, and I suffered from lovesickness of flowered clothes." Duan Zhengchun said, "How about seventeen years old?" The groom The man's eyes were bright, and he whispered: "Duan Lang, I suffered from lovesickness because of you. The roots of this disease have always continued, and it has been hurting until today, and it is still not over. I don't know this life. Sick child, can you get better?" Duan Zhengchun's heart was shaken when he heard it, and he stretched out his hand and wanted to hug her again, but he drank too much wine, his hands and feet were sore, he raised his arm, then put it down again, and said with a smile: "You persuaded me to drink so much wine, I will drink it later. If...if...haha, Xiaokang, at what age did you wear floral dresses and shoes?" Mrs. Ma said: "You grew up rich and powerful, and you don't know the hardships of poor children. At that time, even if I had a pair of new shoes to wear, I was very happy. When I was seven years old, my father Said, in the twelfth lunar month, take my family’s three sheep and fourteen chickens to the market to sell for the New Year, then cut a piece of floral cloth, and come home to sew new clothes for me. I’ve been saying it since August Since then, I have been looking forward to this sentence, I will feed the chickens and herd the sheep..." When Xiao Feng heard the word "sheep herding", he couldn't help but burst into tears. Mrs. Ma continued: "It's so easy to look forward to the twelfth lunar month. I urge daddy to sell sheep and chickens every day. Dad always says: 'Don't be so impatient. By the end of the year, chickens and sheep can be sold for a price." A few days passed , It snowed heavily for several days and nights in succession. One evening, suddenly there were a few crashes, and the sheepfold house was crushed by the heavy snow. Fortunately, the sheep were not crushed to death. Dad took the sheep aside and said It was time to sell the sheep earlier. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, suddenly the sheep called the wolf and howled, and there was a quarrel. Dad said: "No, there are wolves!" He took the javelin and went out to chase the wolves. But the three sheep They were all dragged away by hungry wolves, and more than half of the dozen chickens were eaten by wolves. Daddy yelled and went out to chase the wolves, trying to get the sheep back. "Seeing him chasing into the mountains, I was very anxious. I wondered if Daddy could get the sheep back. After waiting for a long time, I saw Daddy limping back. He said that he slipped in the snow on the cliff and injured himself. The javelin also fell to the bottom of the cliff, and the sheep naturally couldn't get it back. "I was so disappointed that I sat in the snow and cried loudly. I worked hard to herd the sheep every day, just wanting to wear floral clothes, but in the end it was all for nothing. I cried and screamed, and only shouted: 'Father, go and get the sheep back,' I want new clothes, I want new clothes!'” Hearing this, Xiao Feng's heart sank: "This woman is so cold-natured! Her father was injured in a fall, she doesn't care about her father's injury, she only remembers her floral dress, not to mention chasing hungry wolves on a snowy night. Dangerous thing? Although she was young and ignorant at the time, she shouldn't have." I only heard her continue: "My father said: 'Little sister, let's raise a few more sheep tomorrow, and we will sell them next year, and I will definitely buy you floral clothes.' I just cried and refused. But what can I do if I don't obey? The Chinese New Year is less than half a month away, and the elder sister of the Jiang family next door is wearing a new padded jacket with a yellow background and red flowers, and a pair of light green and yellow flower trousers. Keep coaxing me, I just ignore him." Duan Zhengchun said with a smile: "If I had found out at that time, I would have given you ten or twenty sets of new clothes." As he spoke, he stretched himself, the candlelight flickered, reflecting his face full of drunkenness, Passionate. Mrs. Ma said: "It's not uncommon to have ten or twenty sets. It was New Year's Eve that day. At night, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, so I got up quietly and went to Uncle Jiang's house next door. My lord is watching the year." I haven't slept yet, and the candles are brightly lit. I saw Jiang's sister falling asleep on the kang, her new clothes covered her body, and the bright red candlelight illuminated her, making her look even more beautiful. I stared blankly, After watching for a long time, I quietly went into the room and picked up the new suit and trousers." Duan Zhengchun laughed and said, "Steal new clothes? Oh, I only know that we in a well-to-do life can only steal men, so we can also steal clothes." Mrs. Ma’s starry eyes sparkled, she smiled sweetly, and said, “I’m not stealing new clothes and trousers! I picked up the scissors in the sewing basket on the table, cut the new clothes into pieces, and cut the trousers into pieces. I can't mend it forever. After I cut this new suit and trousers, the indescribable joy in my heart is more joyful than having new clothes to wear myself." Duan Zhengchun had been smiling all the time, when he heard this, his face gradually changed color, he was rather unhappy, and said: "Xiaokang, don't talk about these old things, let's go to sleep!" Mrs. Ma said: "No, it's rare to meet you for a few days. From now on, I'm afraid we will never see each other again. I want to talk to you more. Duan Lang, do you know why I want to tell you?" This story? I want you to understand my temper. It has been like this since I was a child. If there is something that I think about day and night, but I can’t get it, but someone else is lucky enough to get it, then I have to ruin it. When I was young It’s a stupid way, but as we get older and smarter, we’ll use some clever ways.” Duan Zhengchun shook his head, and said: "Stop talking. You let me listen to these unsightly words, and you made me lose interest. Don't blame me later." Mrs. Ma smiled slightly, stood up, and slowly untied the white rope that tied her hair. The long hair hung down to her waist, as soft as paint.She picked up a boxwood comb, combed her long hair slowly, then suddenly turned her head and smiled, with an infinitely charming face, and said, "Duan Lang, come and hug me!" with an extremely soft voice. Although Xiao Feng hated this woman in his heart, he couldn't help but be moved when he saw her eyes by candlelight and heard her words "come and hug me". Duan Zhengchun laughed, leaning on the edge of the kang, trying to stand up and hug her.But he drank so much that he couldn't stand up, and said with a smile, "I only drank these six or seven glasses of wine, and I was so drunk. Xiaokang, your beauty is so fascinating at first sight, it's really worth it." Serve three catties of spirits, hehe." Xiao Feng was startled when he heard it: "How could he get drunk after only drinking six or seven cups of wine? Duan Zhengchun's internal strength is extraordinary, even if he doesn't hold a little bit of alcohol, there is absolutely no reason for this, there is something strange about it." Madam Ma smiled coquettishly, and said in a tired voice: "Duan Lang, come here, I don't have any strength, you...you...you come and hug me." Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu were lying outside the window, Mrs. Ma's coquettish and coquettish words came to her ears, all of which were filled with jealousy, almost bursting her chest, but she couldn't lift her hands to plug her ears. Duan Zhengchun propped his left hand on the side of the kang, tried to stand up, but his body was just straightened up, his knees were sore and limp, and he sat down again, and said with a smile: "I don't have any strength, it's really strange. When I saw you, I immediately It’s like a mouse’s whole body becomes sore when it sees a cat.” Mrs. Ma chuckled lightly and said, "I don't follow you, I only drank this little, and pretended to be drunk to coax others. If you use your luck and use your internal strength, you will succeed?" Duan Zhengchun adjusted his inner breath, wanting to take a breath of true energy, but he didn't realize that the dantian was empty, like boundless, with nothing to be grasped, he breathed out three breaths of true energy, unexpectedly, the profound inner strength that he had cultivated for decades disappeared suddenly I don't know when I left.This time I panicked, knowing that something was wrong.But he has been through the dangers of the rivers and lakes for a long time, his face remained calm, and he said with a smile: "There is only one Yang finger and the inner strength of the six-meridian sword. I am so drunk that I can only kill people, but I can't hug people." Xiao Feng thought to himself: "Although this person is greedy and lustful, he is not a fool. He is known to be in danger, and he said 'only kills, not hugs'. In fact, he knows one yang finger, six The Maishen Sword doesn't know how, it's obviously threatening. If he loses his inner strength, he won't be able to use a single yang finger." Mrs. Ma said softly: "Ah, I'm dizzy, Duan Lang, could it be... Could it be that something has been done to you in this wine?" Duan Zhengchun originally suspected that she had drugged the wine, but hearing what she said, yes Her suspicion immediately dissipated, she waved her hand, and said, "Xiaokang, come here, I have something to tell you." Madam Ma seemed to be walking towards him, but she couldn't stand up, and lay down on the table with a pale face. Tao Hong just gasped, and said in a charming voice: "Duan Lang, I can't move a step anymore, you're afraid that I won't be nice to you, so you put aphrodisiac in the wine, right? You little rascal." Duan Zhengchun shook his head, made a gesture, dipped his finger in some wine, and wrote on the table: "I have been poisoned by the enemy, trying to calm down." He said: "Now I have raised my internal energy, these few glasses of poisoned wine, but You can't charm me." Mrs. Ma wrote on the table: "Is it true or not?" Duan Zhengchun wrote: "Don't show weakness." He said loudly: "Xiaokang, what enemy do you have to use this poisonous plan to harm me? " Xiao Feng saw him writing the words "Don't show weakness" outside the window, he secretly called it bad, and said in his heart: "Forgive you, Duan Zhengchun, who is very smart, but in the end it still fell into the hands of a woman. This poison was obviously made by Mrs. Ma, she listened to you." Saying 'can only kill, can't hug', I'm afraid of your martial arts skills, so I pretended that I was also poisoned, and asked your truth, how could it be so easy to be fooled?" Mrs. Ma's face was worried, and she wrote on the table: "Is it true or not that you have lost all your internal energy?" But she said: "Duan Lang, if there are some vile traitors who want to attack us, that would be the best thing I'm bored, and I just use him for entertainment. You just sit and ignore him, and see if he has the guts to do it." Duan Zhengchun wrote: "I only hope that the medicine's effect will expire soon, and the enemy will come slowly." He said: "Yes, someone is willing to play tricks on us, which is exactly what we wish for. Xiaokang, would you like to see my method of volleying acupuncture points?" Mrs. Ma smiled and said: "I've never seen it before. Since you haven't lost your internal strength, you poked a hole in the paper window with your yang finger, okay?" Duan Zhengchun frowned slightly, winking, saying: "I I have no internal energy, how can I do acupuncture? I am scaring the enemy, why don't you understand?" Mrs. Ma kept urging, and said: "Hurry up, you only need to poke a small hole in the paper window, and you will be able to scare the enemy." Retreat the enemy, otherwise it will be terrible, don't let the enemy see the flaw." Duan Zhengchun frowned again: "She's always been smart and quick-witted, why is she pretending to be stupid on purpose now?" While meditating, Madam Ma said softly, "Duan Lang, you have been poisoned by the powerful poison of 'Shixiang Mihun San'. If you let your martial arts go to the sky, you will lose all your internal energy. If you can still hit acupuncture points in the air, and pierce a small hole on the paper window with your internal energy, then it will be amazing." Duan Zhengchun said in surprise: "I... I was poisoned by the poisonous drug of 'Shixiang Mihun San'? How...how did you know?" Madam Ma said with a coquettish smile: "When I was pouring wine for you, hehe, it seemed that I accidentally dropped a pack of poison into the jug. Sigh, the moment I saw you, I was overwhelmed and at a loss, Duan Lang, don't blame me." Duan Zhengchun forced a smile and said: "Well, so that's the case, that's okay." At this moment, he was clear-eyed, he knew that Mrs. Ma had restrained him, if he yelled and cursed furiously, it would be useless, so he could only pretend that nothing happened. Trying to calm down, trying to deal with the crisis, thinking: "She has a deep love for me, and she will never kill me. Presumably she just wants me to promise never to go home and stay with her forever, or she wants me to take her back to Dali. , she will be a long-term husband and wife with me justifiably. It is because of her infatuation out of love for me. Although the means are excessive, it is not malicious." Thinking of this, she felt relieved. Sure enough, Madam Ma asked: "Duan Lang, are you willing to be a long-term husband and wife with me?" Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "You are so powerful, well, I surrender. Tomorrow you go back to Dali with me, and I will marry you as the side concubine of King Zhennan." After Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu heard this, they felt jealous again, thinking: "What's so good about this bitch? You didn't agree to me, but you agreed to her." Mrs. Ma sighed, and said: "Duan Lang, I asked you a while ago, what will you do with me in the future, you said that Dali is hot and humid, and I will get sick if I go there, you are forced to agree now, not because you came out In my heart." Duan Zhengchun sighed, and said: "Xiaokang, let me tell you, I am the emperor's younger brother of Dali Kingdom. My elder brother has no sons. After he lives forever, he will pass on the throne to me. I am just a middle-aged man in the Central Plains." Wufu, but when you return to Dali, you can't do anything wrong, don't you think so?" Mrs. Ma said: "Yes, so what?" Duan Zhengchun said: "It was quite difficult, but you treated me like this Waiting for the situation to be so strong that I didn't hesitate to use the means of poisoning, I naturally changed my mind. It's not that I don't want to have a good person like you by my side every day. Since I promised to take you to Dali, I will never go back on my word. " Mrs. Ma gave a soft "Oh" and said: "The words are reasonable. When you become the emperor in the future, can you make me a queen empress?" Duan Zhengchun hesitated and said: "I already have a wife, and the queen is No way..." Mrs. Ma said: "Yes, I am an unlucky widow, how can I be a queen empress? Isn't that a smile that twisted the mouths of thousands of people in Dali Kingdom?" She picked up the wooden comb again, Combing his hair slowly, he said with a smile, "Duan Lang, I told you the story just now, do you understand what I mean?" Cold sweat dripped down Duan Zhengchun's forehead, and he tried his best to calm his mind, but the internal strength he had cultivated over the past few decades, he didn't know where it went. Can't catch. Mrs. Ma asked: "Duan Lang, you're very hot, aren't you? Let me wipe your sweat." She took out a Supa from her bosom, walked up to him, gently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, Said softly: "Duan Lang, you have to take care of your body. You can easily catch cold after drinking. If you feel unwell, wouldn't that make me worry more?" Duan Zhengchun inside the window and Xiao Feng outside the window both felt an indescribable fear when they heard this. Duan Zhengchun forced a smile, and said: "You were sweating profusely that night, and I wiped your sweat. I have kept this handkerchief with me for more than ten years." Madam Ma looked shy, and said softly: "I'm not afraid of being ugly, what happened more than ten years ago, thank you for having the nerve to talk about it? You take it out and show it to me." Duan Zhengchun said that he has been carrying that old handkerchief by his side for more than ten years, that's not necessarily true, but at this moment it is really in his arms.He is easy to please women, and this ability is also an important reason, making every woman who has had an affair with him believe that the one he really loves is himself, and it is only because of various irresistible changes of fate that he cannot get married. into a happy marriage.He wanted to take this handkerchief out of his bosom, so that she could miss the old love, but when he moved his finger slightly, the palm was completely numb, this "Ten Fragrance Mishun Powder" was so poisonous that he was unable to take the handkerchief . Mrs. Ma said: "Show it to me! Hmph, you're lying again." Duan Zhengchun smiled wryly and said, "Haha, I'm too drunk to move my hands, just take it out for me." Mrs. Ma said: "I You don't want to be fooled. You want to lie to me and use a yang finger to kill me." Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "For a peerless beauty like you, even if I am a heinous murderer, I would not bear to slap you on your face. Gently draw half of the nail mark." Mrs. Ma smiled and said: "Really? Duan Lang, I'm always a little worried. I have to tie your hands with a rope, and then...then, I will tie your heart firmly with a strand of soft silk." Duan Zhengchun said: "You tied my heart a long time ago, otherwise how could I obediently send it to my door?" Mrs. Ma sneered and said: "You are a good person, no wonder I have hurt you forever. Lovesickness that can’t be cured.” He opened the drawer next to the kang bed and took out a silk rope wrapped with beef tendon. Duan Zhengchun was even more surprised: "It turns out that she has already made all the preparations, but I have been kept in the dark. Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengchun, you are sent here today, but who can you blame?" Madam Ma said. : "I'll tie your hands first, Duan Lang, I really like you beyond words. Are you angry with me?" Duan Zhengchun is well aware of Mrs. Ma's temperament. Although she is a woman, she is more resolute than ordinary men. Vicious insults cannot make her angry, and sorrows and pleadings cannot make her change her mind. Right now, she has no choice but to procrastinate and see if there is any chance to make it work. Turning the corner into safety, and getting out of this predicament, he smiled and said: "When I saw your watery eyes, my great anger disappeared. Xiaokang, come here, let me smell the jasmine flower on your head? " More than ten years ago, Duan Zhengchun formed a relationship with Mrs. Ma based on these words. Now that the old matter was brought up again, Mrs. Ma leaned forward and fell softly into his arms. .She stretched out her hand to gently stroke Duan Zhengchun's face, and said softly: "Duan Lang, Duan Lang, I handed over my body to you that night, and let me tell you, if you are half-hearted in the future, what will happen?" Duan Zhengchun could only feel gold stars popping up in front of his eyes, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed out of his forehead one by one.Mrs. Ma said: "Good sir without conscience, dear sir, did you forget the curse you swore in a blink of an eye?" Duan Zhengchun smiled wryly and said, "I told you to bite off the flesh of my body." Originally, this vow and covenant was purely a joke, a flirting language used by men and women when they are happy, but Duan Zhengchun said at this time Come, but can't help but tremble all over the body. Madam Ma smiled charmingly: "You told me what you said. After so many years, I still haven't forgotten it. My Duan Lang really has a conscience. Duan Lang, I want to tie your hands and play a new trick with you. Are you willing? If you are willing, I will tie you up; if you are not willing, I will not tie you up. I have always been obedient to you, and I only hope to please you." Duan Zhengchun knew that even if he didn't let her be tied up, she would definitely come up with weird ways, and said with a wry smile: "If you want to be tied up, then tie it up. I died under the peony flower, even a ghost is a coquettish man, I die in your hands , that couldn't be happier." Xiao Feng was listening outside the window, and couldn't help admiring his astonishing concentration, at such a critical moment, he could still say a joke.Madam Ma pulled his hands behind his back, tied them firmly with beef tendon and silk ropes, tied seven or eight knots one after another, not to mention that Duan Zhengchun lost all his martial arts at this time, even if his internal strength was intact, it would not be possible for a moment. break free. Madam Ma smiled coquettishly again: "I hate your legs the most, if you take a step, you will disappear without a trace." As she spoke, she slightly twisted his thighs.Duan Zhengchun said with a smile: "I met you that year, but it was these legs that brought me here. Although these legs have committed a great crime, they have contributed a lot." Madam Ma said: "Okay! I also Tie it up." As he spoke, he picked up another tendon rope and tied his feet as well. She took a pair of scissors, and slowly cut through several layers of clothes on his right shoulder, revealing his snow-white skin.Duan Zhengchun was no longer young, but he was pampered and lived a life of prosperity and wealth all his life. He also had profound internal strength, and the skin on his shoulders was still smooth and firm. Mrs. Ma stretched out her hand to gently caress his shoulder, leaned over to the small cherry mouth, and kissed his cheek, gradually from the head and neck to the shoulder, humming softly, with endless tenderness and affection. Suddenly, Duan Zhengchun yelled "Ah", piercing the silent night.Madam Ma raised her head, her mouth was covered with blood, she had bit off a piece of flesh from his shoulder. Mrs. Ma spit out the small piece of meat she bit off on the ground, and said in a flattering voice: "Beating is love, scolding is love, I love you to death, so I bite you. Duan Lang, you said it yourself, if you change your mind , let me bite off the flesh of your body bit by bit." Duan Zhengchun laughed, and said: "Yes, Xiaokang, how can I not count what I said? Sometimes I think, how will I die in the future? It would be too mediocre to die sick in bed. On the battlefield To die for the country is of course very good, but although it is heroic and not romantic, it is a bit of a fly in the ointment, unlike Duan Zhengchun's usual personality. Xiaokang, the way you came up with today is amazing, Duan Zhengchun killed the cherry of the most beautiful woman in the world In the small mouth, under the pearly white teeth, this can fulfill my wish. You think, if I, Duan Zhengchun, hadn't had such a deep love for you, and I was replaced by the second man, I would have given you a full bed Jewelry, you are determined not to take a bite of him. Xiaokang, don’t you think so?” Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu were already scared to death, they knew that Duan Lang was dying, but seeing Xiao Feng was still squatting under the window watching the movement, and did not come to rescue, they scolded him thousands of times in their hearts. Xiao Feng is still uncertain of Madam Ma's true intentions, he doesn't know if she really wants to kill Duan Zhengchun, or just to scare him, teach him to suffer more sins of love affairs, and then let him go, so that he will be a sidekick forever. minister.If these actions of hers were just some awkwardness between lovers, but she recklessly broke into the house to save others, she would have lost a good opportunity to find out the truth, so she still calmed down and waited for the change. Mrs. Ma smiled and said: "Yes, even if the emperor of Song Dynasty, the emperor of Khitan, it is easy for him to kill me, but he would never ask me to bite him. Duan Lang, I wanted to kill you slowly, I wanted to bite you a thousand bites Wankou, but I'm afraid that your subordinates will rush to rescue you. Well, I'll stick this small knife in your heart, only half an inch, and it won't kill you. If someone comes to rescue you, I'll hit the knife handle, You don't have to suffer from those little things." Then he took out a gleaming dagger, cut open the shirt on Duan Zhengchun's chest, pointed the tip of the knife at his heart, and thrust the dagger into his chest with a slender hand. Only penetrate a little. This time Duan Zhengchun didn't groan, seeing blood flow from his chest, he said: "Xiaokang, your ten fingers are more white and pink than when you were seventeen years old." When Madam Ma stabbed Duan Zhengchun's body with the dagger, Xiao Feng looked at her hand without blinking, if he saw that she was using too much force and threatened Duan Zhengchun's life, he immediately slapped her in with his palm and knocked her out. The body shook away, and when she saw that she only inserted lightly, she still ignored it at the moment. Mrs. Ma said: "When I was seventeen, I had to wash and cook, so my fingers and palms were naturally thicker. These years, I don't have to live a rough life, and my flesh is really delicate. Duan Lang, where should I bite you for the second time?" Wherever you say to bite, I will bite, I always listen to you." Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "Xiaokang, after you killed me, I will not leave your side." Mrs. Ma said: "What are you doing?" Duan Zhengchun said: "When a wife murders a husband, the dead husband always haunts him , wrap around her, in case the second man comes to make love with her." Duan Zhengchun's words were originally just to scare her, and wanted to tell her not to be too vicious, but after hearing this, Mrs. Ma's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but glance behind her.Duan Zhengchun took the opportunity to say: "Hey! Who is that person behind you?" Mrs. Ma was taken aback, and said: "Who is behind me? Nonsense." Duan Zhengchun said: "Well, it's a man, he opened his mouth and smiled at you, he touched his throat, as if it hurts , who is that, with tattered clothes and tears in his eyes..." Madam Ma turned around quickly, but seeing no one, she tremblingly said: "You lied, you...you lied!" Duan Zhengchun was talking nonsense at the beginning, but when he saw her panicked, he suddenly became suspicious, and after a while, he vaguely felt that there was something strange about Ma Dayuan's death.He knew that Ma Dayuan died under the "throat-locking hand", he deliberately said that the man seemed to have a sore throat, tears in his eyes, and tattered clothes, Madam Ma was really terrified.Duan Zhengchun guessed three points more, and said: "Ah, it's strange, why did this man disappear in a blink of an eye, who is he?" Mrs. Ma's face was terrified, but in a moment she calmed down as usual, and said: "Duan Lang, what's the use of scaring me when we're in this field today? You also know that you can't succeed if you don't curse, we two are good friends. One, I'll give you a quick and easy end." As he spoke, he took a step forward, reaching out his hand to push the handle of the dagger. Duan Zhengchun saw that he couldn't stand it anymore, he stared straight behind her and shouted loudly: "Ma Dayuan, Ma Dayuan, crush your wife to death!" Mrs. Ma saw a terrifying expression on his face, and called out "Ma Dayuan" again, she couldn't help trembling all over, and looked back.Duan Zhengchun pushed his head up with all his strength, and it hit her under the chin. Madam Ma fell down immediately and passed out. Duan Zhengchun's collision was not due to internal force, although Madam Ma was dizzy for a while, she woke up in a moment, stood up gracefully, stroked her chin, and said with a smile: "Duan Lang, you just love being so rude, It hurt so much when I hit him. You made up these words to scare me, so I won't be fooled by you." Duan Zhengchun's collision had exhausted all his strength he had gathered for a long time, he sighed secretly, and thought: "This is how life should be, what can I say!" Suddenly, he said: "Xiao Kang, are you going to kill me? So when people from the beggar gang come to ask you about the crime of murdering your husband, who will help you?" Mrs. Ma grinned and said, "Who said I murdered my husband? You are not my husband. If you are really my husband, I pity you and love you before it's too late. How can I be willing to kill you? I killed you." After you, you will go far away, and you will not stay here anymore. Can I deal with the courtiers of your Dali Kingdom looking for them?" She sighed faintly, and said, "Duan Lang, I really miss you very, very much, I love you, I just want to hold you in my arms, kiss you, and love you all the time, just because I can't have you, I have to destroy you, this is my natural temper, and there is nothing I can do about it." Duan Zhengchun said: "Well, that's right, that day you deliberately lied to that little girl and asked Qiao Feng to kill me with a fake hand, that's why." Madam Ma said: "Yes, Qiao Feng is really useless, he couldn't kill you, so you escaped." Xiao Feng couldn't help thinking: "Ah Zhu disguised himself as Bai Shijing, his skill is like a god, even I can't tell the difference, Mrs. Ma and Bai Shijing don't know each other, how can I see through the mechanism?" Madam Ma said: "Duan Lang, I want to bite you again." Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "You come to bite, I don't like it any more." Xiao Feng saw that he couldn't delay any longer, stretched out his fist, and pressed against it. On the earthen wall behind Duan Zhengchun, he secretly used strength, the earthen wall was not very strong, his fist slowly sank into it, and finally pierced through a hole soundlessly, with his palm resting on Duan Zhengchun's vest. At this moment, Madam Ma bit off another piece of meat from Duan Zhengchun's shoulder.段正淳纵声大叫，身子颤动，忽觉双手已得自由，原来缚住他手腕的牛筋丝绳已给萧峰用手指扯断，同时一股浑厚之极的内力涌入了他各处经脉。 段正淳一怔之间，已知外面来了强援，气随意转，这股内力便从背心传到手臂，又传到手指，嗤的一声轻响，一阳指神功发出。马夫人胁下中指，“哎哟”一声尖叫，倒在炕上。 萧峰见段正淳已将马夫人制住，当即缩手。
段正淳正想开口相谢，忽见门帘掀开，走进一个人来。只听那人说道：“小康，你对他旧情未断，是不是？怎地费了这大功夫，还没料理干净？” 萧峰隔窗见到那人，心中一呆，又惊又怒，片刻之间，脑海中存着的许许多多疑团，一齐都解开了。马夫人那日在无锡杏子林中，取出自己常用的折扇，诬称是他赴马家偷盗书信而失落，这柄折扇她从何处得来？如是有人盗去，势必是和自己极为亲近之人，然则是谁？自己是契丹人这件大秘密，隐瞒了这么多年，何以突然又翻了出来？阿朱乔装白世镜，本是天衣无缝，马夫人如何能够识破机关？ 原来，走进房来的，竟是丐帮的执法长老白世镜。 马夫人惊道：“他……他……武功未失，点……点了我的穴道。” 白世镜一跃而前，抓住了段正淳双手，喀喇、喀喇两响，扭断了他腕骨。段正淳全无抗拒之力，萧峰输入他体内的真气内力只能支持得片刻，萧峰一缩手，他又成了废人。 萧峰见到白世镜后，一霎时思涌如潮，没想到要再出手相助段正淳，同时也没想到白世镜竟会立时便下毒手，待得惊觉，段正淳双腕已断。他想：“此人风流好色，今日让他多吃些苦头，也是好的，瞧在阿朱的面上，最后我总是救他性命便了。” 白世镜道：“姓段的，瞧你不出倒好本事，吃了十香迷魂散，功夫还剩下三成。” 段正淳虽不知墙外伸掌相助之人是谁，但必定是个大有本领的人物，眼前固然多了个强敌，但大援在后，心下并不惊慌，听白世镜口气，显是不知自己来了帮手，便问道：“尊驾是丐帮中的长老么？在下和尊驾素不相识，何以遽下毒手？” 白世镜走到马夫人身边，在她腰间推拿了几下，段氏一阳指的点穴功夫极为神妙，白世镜虽武功不弱，却也无法解开她的穴道，皱眉道：“你觉得怎样？”语气甚是关切。 马夫人道：“我便是手足酸软，动弹不得。世镜，你出手料理了他，咱们快些走罢。这间屋子……这间屋子，我不想多耽了。” 段正淳突然纵声大笑，说道：“小康，你……你……怎地如此不长进？哈哈，哈哈！” 马夫人微笑道：“段郎，你兴致倒好，死在临头，居然还笑得这么欢畅。” 白世镜怒道：“你还叫他'段郎'？你这贱人。”反手拍的一下，重重打了她一记耳光。马夫人雪白的右颊登时红肿，痛得流下泪来。 段正淳怒喝：“住手，你干么打她？”白世镜冷笑道：“凭你也管得着么？她是我的人，我爱打便打，爱骂便骂。”段正淳道：“这么如花如玉的美人儿，亏你下得了手？就算是你的人，你也该低声下气的讨她欢心、逗她高兴才是啊。” 马夫人向白世镜横了一眼，说道：“你听听人家怎么待我，你却又怎样待我？你也不害臊。”语音眼色，仍然尽是媚态。 白世镜骂道：“小淫妇，瞧我不好好炮制你。姓段的，我可不听你这一套，你会讨女人欢心，怎么她又来害你？请了，明年今日，是你的周年祭。”说着踏上一步，伸手便去推插在他胸口的那柄匕首。 萧峰右掌又从土墙洞口中伸进，只要白世镜再走近半步，掌风立发。 便在此时，突然门帘子给一股疾风吹了起来，呼的一声，劲风到处，两根蜡烛的烛火一齐熄灭，房中登时黑漆一团。 马夫人啊的一声惊叫。白世镜知道来了敌人，这时已不暇去杀段正淳，迎敌要紧，喝道：“什么人？”双掌护胸，转过身来。 吹灭烛火的这一阵劲风，明明是一个武功极高之人所发，但烛火熄灭之后，更无动静。白世镜、段正淳、马夫人、萧峰四人一凝神间，隐隐约约见到房中已多了一人。 马夫人第一个沉不住气，尖声叫了起来：“有人，有人！”只见这人挡门而立，双手下垂，面目却瞧不清楚，一动不动的站着。白世镜喝问：“是谁？”向前跨了一步。那人不言不动。白世镜喝道：“再不答话，在下可要不客气了。”他从来者扑灭烛火的掌力之中，知他武功极强，不敢贸然动手。那人仍是不动，黑暗之中，更显得鬼气森森。 段正淳和萧峰见了来人模样，心下也均起疑：“这人武功了得，那是谁啊？” 马夫人尖声叫道：“你点了烛火，我怕，我怕！” 白世镜喝道：“这淫妇，别胡说八道！”这当口他若转身去点烛火，立时便将背心要害卖给了敌人，他双掌护胸，要待对方先动。不料那人始终不动。两人如此相对，几乎有一盏茶时分。萧峰当然不会发出声息，段正淳不开口说话。四下里万籁无声，连雪花飘下来的声音几乎也听得见了。 白世镜终于沉不住气，叫道：“阁下既不答话，我可要得罪了。”他停了片刻，见对方仍是一无动静，当即翻手从怀中取出一柄破甲钢锥，纵身而上，黑暗中青光闪动，钢锥向那人胸口疾刺过去。 那人斜身一闪，让了开去。白世镜只觉一阵疾风直逼过来，对方手指已抓向自己喉头，这一招来得快极，自己钢锥尚未收回，敌人手指尖便已碰到了咽喉，这一来当真吓得魂不附体，急忙后跃避开，颤声道：“你……你……” 他真正害怕的倒还不是对方武功奇高，而是适才那人所出的招数竟是“锁喉擒拿手”。这门功夫是马大元的家传绝技，除了马家子弟之外，无人会使。白世镜和马大元相交已久，自是明白他的武功家数。白世镜背上出了一身冷汗，凝目向那人望去，但见他身形甚高，和马大元一般，只是黑暗中瞧不清他相貌。那人仍是不言不动，阴森森的一身鬼气，白世镜觉得颈中隐隐生疼，想是被他指甲刺破了。他定了定神，问道：“尊驾可是姓马？”那人便如是个聋子，全不理会。 白世镜道：“小淫妇，点亮了蜡烛。”马夫人道：“我动不得，你来点罢。”白世镜却怎敢随便行动，授人以隙？又想：“这人的武功明明比我为高，他要救段正淳，不用等旁人前来相帮，为何一招之后，不再追击？” 这般又是良久寂静无声，白世镜突然之间察觉到一件怪事，房中虽是谁都不言不动，呼吸之声却是有的，马夫人的呼吸，段正淳的呼吸，自己的呼吸，可是对面站着的那人却没发出呼吸之声。 白世镜屏住呼吸，侧耳静听，以他的内力修为，该当听得到屋中任何人的透气之声，可是对面那人便没有呼吸。隔了好久好久，那人仍是没有呼吸。若是生人，岂有不透气之理？白世镜听到了自己的心跳声音：扑、扑、扑、扑……他听到自己心跳的声音越来越响，感到自己胸口在剧烈颤动，这颗心似乎要从口腔中跳出来，再也忍耐不住，大喝一声，向那人扑去，破甲锥连连晃动，刺向那人面门。 那人左手一掠，将白世镜的右臂格在外门，右手疾探而出，抓向他咽喉。白世镜已防到他会再施“锁喉擒拿手”，一低头，从他腋下闪了开去。那人却不追击，就此呆呆的站在门口。白世镜举锥向他腿上戳去，那人直挺挺的向上一跃避开。 马夫人见这人身形僵直，上跃时膝盖不弯，不禁脱口而呼：“僵尸，僵尸！” 只听得腾的一声，那人重重的落了下来。白世镜心中更是发毛：“这人若是武学高手，纵起落下的身手怎会如此笨拙？难道世间真有僵尸么？” 白世镜微一犹豫，猱身而上，嗤嗤嗤三声，破甲锥三招都刺向那人下盘。那人的膝盖果真不会弯曲，只直挺挺的一跳一跳闪避，看来他连迈步也不会。白世镜刺向左，他便右跃闪开，刺向右，他就躲向左。白世镜发觉了对手的弱点，心中惧意略去，可是越来越觉得他不是生人。又刺数锥，对方身法虽拙，但自己几下变化精妙的锥法，却也始终没能伤到他。 突然之间，后颈一冷，一只冰凉的大手摸了上来。白世镜大吃一惊，挥锥猛力反刺，嗤的一声轻响，刺了个空，那人的大手却已抓住了他后颈。白世镜全身酸软，再也动弹不得，只有呼呼呼的不住喘气。马夫人大叫：“世镜，世镜，你怎么啦？”白世镜如何还有余力答话，只觉体中的内力，正在被后颈上这只大手一丝丝的挤将出来。 蓦地里一只冰凉如铁的大手摸到了他脸上，这只手当真不是人手，半分暖气也无。白世镜也忍不住叫道：“僵尸！僵尸！”声音凄厉可怖。那只大手从他额头慢慢摸将下来，摸到他的眼睛，手指在他眼珠上滑来滑去。白世镜吓得几欲晕去，对方的手指只须略一使劲，自己一对眼珠立时便给他挖了出来，这只冷手却又向下移，摸到了他鼻子，再摸向他嘴巴，一寸一寸的下移，终于叉住了他喉咙，两根冰冷的手指挟住了他喉结，渐渐收紧。 白世镜惊怖无已，叫道：“大元兄弟，饶命！饶命！”马夫人尖声大呼：“你……你说什么？”白世镜叫道：“大元兄弟，都是这贱淫妇出的主意，是她逼我干的，跟我……跟我可不相干。”马夫人怒道：“是我出的主意又怎么？马大元，你活在世上是个脓包，死了又能作什么怪？老娘可不怕你。” 白世镜觉得自己刚才出言推诿罪责之时，喉头的手指便松了些，自己一住口，冰冷的手指又慢慢收紧，心中慌乱，听得马夫人叫他“马大元”，更认定这怪物便是马大元的僵尸，叫道：“大元兄弟饶命！你老婆偷看到了汪帮主的遗令，再三劝你揭露乔峰的身世秘密，你一定不肯……她……她这才起意害你……” 萧峰心头一凛，他可不信世间有什么鬼神，料定来人是个武学名家，故意装神弄鬼，使得白世镜和马夫人心中慌乱，以便乘机逼问他二人的口供。果然白世镜心力交瘁，吐露了出来，从他话中听来，马大元乃是给他二人害死，马夫人更是主谋。马夫人所以要谋杀亲夫，起因在于要揭露自己的身世之秘，而马大元不允，“她为什么这样恨我？为什么非推倒我不可？她如为了想要丈夫当帮主，就不该害了丈夫。” 马夫人尖声叫道：“马大元，你来捏死我好了，我就是看不惯你这副脓包样子！半点大事也担当不起的胆小鬼！” 只听得喀喇一声轻响，白世镜的喉头软骨已被捏碎了一块。白世镜拚命挣扎，说什么也逃不脱那人手掌，跟着又是喀喇一声响，喉管碎裂。他大声呼了几口气，口中吸的气息再也吸不进胸中，手脚一阵痉挛，便即气绝。
那人一捏死白世镜，转身出门，便即无影无踪。 萧峰心念一动：“此人是谁？须得追上去查个明白。”当下飘身来到前门，白雪映照之下，只见淡淡一个人影正向东北角上渐渐隐去，若不是他眼力奇佳，还真没法见到。 萧峰心道：“此人身法好快！”俯身在躺在脚边的阿紫肩头拍了一下，内力到处，解开了她的穴道，心想：“马夫人不会武功，这小姑娘已足可救她父亲。”一时不及再为阮星竹等人解穴，迈开大步，急向前面那人追去。 一阵疾冲之下，和他相距已不过十来丈，这时瞧得清楚，那人果然是个武学高手，这时已不是直着腿子蹦跳，脚步轻松，有如在雪上滑行一般。萧峰的轻功源出少林，又经丐帮汪帮主陶冶，纯属阳刚一派，一大步迈出，便是丈许，身子跃在空中，又是一大步迈出，姿式虽不如何潇洒优雅，长程赶路却甚是实在。再追一程，跟那人又近了丈许。 约莫奔得半炷香时分，前面那人脚步突然加快，如一艘吃饱了风的帆船，顺流激驶，霎时之间，和萧峰之间相距又拉长了一段。萧峰暗暗心惊：“此人当真了得，实是武林中数一数二的高手，若非是这等人物，原也不能于举手之际便杀死了白世镜。” 他天生异禀，实是学武的奇才，授业师父玄苦大师和汪帮主武功已然甚高，萧峰却青出于蓝，更远远胜过了两位师父，任何一招平平无奇的招数到了他手中，自然而然发出巨大无比的威力。熟识他的人都说这等武学天赋实是与生俱来，非靠传授与苦学所能获致。萧峰自己也说不出所以然来，只觉什么招数一学即会，一会即精，临敌之际，自然而然有诸般巧妙变化。但除了武功之外，读书、手艺等等都只平平而已，也与常人无异。他生平罕逢敌手，许多强敌内力比他深厚，招数比他巧妙，但一到交手，总是在最要紧的关头，以一招半式之差而败了下来，而且输得心服口服，自知终究无可匹敌，从来没人再去找他寻仇雪耻。 他此刻遇上了一个轻功如此高强的对手，不由得雄心陡起，加快脚步，又抢了上去。两人一前一后的向东北疾驰，萧峰始终无法追上，那人却也无法抛得脱他。一个时辰过去，两个时辰过去，两人已奔出一百余里，仍是这般的不即不离。 又过得大半个时辰，天色渐明，大雪已止，萧峰远远望见山坡下有个市镇，房屋栉比鳞次，又听得报晓鸡声此起彼落，他酒瘾忽起，叫道：“前面那位兄台，我请你喝二十碗酒，咱俩再比脚力如何？”那人不答，仍是一股劲儿的急奔。萧峰笑道：“你手诛白世镜这等奸徒，实是英雄了得，萧峰甘拜下风，轻功不如你。咱二人去沽酒喝罢，不比了，不比了。”他一面说话，一面奔跑，脚下丝毫不缓。 那人突然止步，说道：“乔峰威震江湖，果然名不虚传。你口中说话，真气仍然运使自如，真英雄，真豪杰！” 萧峰听他话声模糊，但略显苍老，年纪当比自己大得多，说道：“前辈过奖了。晚辈高攀，想跟前辈交个朋友，不知会嫌弃么？” 那人叹道：“老了，不中用了！你别追来，再跑一个时辰，我便输给你啦！”说着缓缓向前行去。 萧峰想追上去再跟他说话，但只跨出一步，心道：“他叫我别追。”又想起自己为中原群豪所不齿，只怕这人也是个鄙视仇恨契丹之人，当即停步，目送那人的背影渐渐远去，没入树林之后，心下感叹：“此人轻功佳妙，内力悠长，可惜不能和他见上一面！”又想：“他话声模糊，显是故意压低了嗓子，好让我认不出他口音。他连声音也不想给我听清楚，何况见面？” 凝思半晌，这才进了市镇，到一家小酒店沽酒而饮，每喝得一两碗，便拍桌赞叹：“好男儿，好汉子，唉，可惜，可惜！” 他说“好男子，好汉子”，是称赞那人武功了得，杀死白世镜一事又处置得十分妥善；连称“可惜”，是感叹没能交上这个朋友。他素来爱朋友如命，这一次被逐出丐帮，更与中原群豪结下了深仇，以前的朋友都断了个干净，心下自是十分郁闷，今日无意中遇上一位武功堪与自己相匹的英雄，偏又无缘结识，只得以酒浇愁。但心中长期积着的不少疑团已然解开，却也大感舒畅。 喝了二十余碗，付了酒资，扬长出门，心想：“段正淳不知如何了？阮星竹、秦红棉她们被我点了穴道，须得回去解救。”于是迈开大步，又回马家。
回去时未曾施展全力，脚程便慢得多了，回到马家，时已过午。只见屋外雪地中一人也无，阮星竹等都已不在，料想阿紫已将她们抱进了屋中。推门进屋，只见白世镜的尸身仍倒在门边，段正淳人已不在，炕边伏着一个女人，满身是血，正是马夫人。 她听到脚步声，转过头来，低声道：“行行好，快，你快杀了我罢！”萧峰见她脸色灰败，只一夜之间，便如老了二三十年一般，变得十分丑陋，便问：“段正淳呢？”马夫人道：“救了他去啦，这……这恶人！啊！”突然之间，她一声大叫，声音尖锐刺耳之极。萧峰出其不意，倒给她吓了一跳，退后一步，问道：“你干什么？” 马夫人喘息道：“你……你是乔……帮主？”萧峰苦笑道：“我早不是丐帮的帮主了。难道你又不知？”马夫人道：“是的，你是乔帮主。乔帮主，请你行行好，快杀了我。”萧峰皱眉道：“我不想杀你。你谋杀亲夫，丐帮中自有人来料理你。” 马夫人哀求道：“我……我实在抵不住啦，那小贱人手段这般毒辣，我……我做了鬼也不放过她。你……你看……我身上。” 她伏在阴暗之处，萧峰看不清楚，听她这么说，便过去推开窗子，亮光照进屋来，一瞥之下，不由得微微一颤，只见马夫人肩头、手臂、胸口、大腿，到处给人用刀子划成一条条伤口，伤口中竟密密麻麻的爬满了蚂蚁。萧峰看了她伤处，知她四肢和腰间关节处的筋络全给人挑断了，再也动弹不得。这不同点穴，可以解开穴道，回复行动，筋脉既断，那就无可医治，从此成了软瘫的废人。但怎么伤口中竟有这许多蚂蚁？ 马夫人颤声道：“那小贱人，挑断了我的手筋脚筋，割得我浑身是伤，又……又在伤口中倒了蜜糖水……蜜糖水，说要引得蚂蚁来咬我全身，让我疼痛麻痒几天几夜，受尽苦楚，说叫我求生不得，求……求死不能。” 萧峰只觉再看她的伤口一次，便要作呕。他绝不是软心肠之人，但杀人放火，素喜爽快干脆，用恶毒法子折磨敌人，实所不取，叹了口气，转身到厨房中去提了一大桶水来，泼在她身上，令她免去群蚁啮体之苦。 马夫人道：“谢谢你，你良心好。我是活不成了。你行行好，一刀将我杀了罢。”萧峰道：“是谁……谁割伤你的？”马夫人咬牙切齿，道：“是那个小贱人，瞧她年纪幼小，不过十五六岁，心肠手段却这般毒辣……”萧峰失惊道：“是阿紫？”马夫人道：“不错，我听得那个贱女人这么叫她，叫她快将我杀了。可是这阿紫，这小贱人，偏要慢条斯理的整治我，说要给她父亲报仇，代她母亲出气，要我受这等无穷苦楚……” 萧峰心想：“我生怕秦红棉和阮星竹喝醋，一出手便杀了马夫人，没了活口，不能再向她盘问。哪知阿紫这小丫头这般残忍恶毒。”皱眉道：“段正淳昔日和你有情，虽然你要杀他，但他见到女儿如此残酷的折磨你，难道竟不阻止？” 马夫人道：“那时他已昏迷不醒，人事不知，那是……那是十香迷魂散之故。” 萧峰点头道：“这就是了。想他也是个明辨是非的好汉，岂能纵容女儿如此胡作非为？嗯，那几个女子呢？”马夫人呻吟道：“别问了，别问了，快杀了我罢。”萧峰哼了一声，道：“你不好好回答，我在你伤口上再倒些蜜糖水，撒手而去，任你自生自灭。”马夫人道：“你们男人……都这般狠心恶毒……”萧峰道：“你谋害马大哥的手段便不毒辣？”马夫人奇道：“你……你怎地什么都知道？是谁跟你说的？” 萧峰冷冷的道：“是我问你，不是你问我。是你求我，不是我求你。快说！” 马夫人道：“好罢，什么都跟你说。阿紫这小贱人这般整治我，她母亲不住喝止，小贱人只是笑嘻嘻的不听。她母亲已给人点了穴道，却动弹不得。过不多久，段正淳手下有五六个人到来，阿紫这小贱人将她父亲、母亲，还有秦红棉母女俩，一个个抱出屋去，却不许人进屋来，免得他们见到了我。段正淳手下那些人骑得有马，便接了她们去啦。” 萧峰点了点头，寻思：“段正淳由部属接了去，阮星竹她们三人身上穴道被封，再过得几个时辰便即自解，这干人便不必理会了。”马夫人道：“我都跟你说了，你……你快杀了我。”萧
