Chapter 25 The 24th round of blazing sunshine illuminates the banner

The distinctive banner of "Kandong Wanmatang" is fluttering in the wind again. If you stand on the grassland and look at it from a distance, sometimes you even feel like a parting lover waving a silk scarf to you. The five bright red characters above are like a lover's blood and tears. Aren't these five words originally woven of blood and tears? Now there is a person standing quietly on the grassland, staring at the big flag. His figure was thin and stubborn, but he carried an indescribable loneliness and loneliness. The blue sky grows grass, he stands there, like a stubborn tree on this grassland.

Trees are also stubborn and lonely.But I don't know if the tree also has as much pain and hatred in his heart. Ma Fangling saw him and saw the knife in his hand; a gloomy man, an ominous knife. But when she saw him, she suddenly felt an indescribable warmth in her heart, as if she had just poured a cup of spicy bitter wine down her throat. She shouldn't have felt this way. When a lonely person sees another lonely person, no one can experience the feeling except himself. She didn't think about anything anymore, so she rode her horse and rushed over. Ma Fangling didn't seem to notice him at all - at least she didn't look back at him.

She had jumped off the horse and stood staring at the big flag. When the wind blew, he could hear her rapid breathing. The wind is not strong.The power of the scorching sun seemed to have suppressed the wind, but the wind was just strong enough to blow the flag up. Ma Fangling suddenly said, "I know what you're thinking." Fu Hongxue didn't hear it, he refused to listen. Ma Fangling said: "You must be thinking in your heart that one day this banner will be cut down." Fu Hongxue shut his mouth tightly and refused to speak. But he couldn't stop Ma Fangling from continuing. She sneered and said, "But you can never cut it down! Forever!"

On the back of Fu Hongxue's hand holding the saber, veins had popped out. Ma Fangling said: "So I advise you, it's better to leave as soon as possible, the farther you go, the better." Fu Hongxue suddenly turned around and stared at her.There seemed to be a kind of flame-like light in his eyes, as if it was going to burn her. Then he said word by word: "You know that what I want to chop off is not the flag, but Ma Kongqun's head!" His voice was like a blade. Ma Fangling couldn't help but took two steps back, but said loudly: "Why do you hate him so much?"

Fu Hongxue smiled, showing his snow-white teeth, laughing like an angry beast. No matter who saw this smile, he would understand how terrible the hatred in his heart was. Ma Fangling involuntarily took another half step back, and said loudly: "But you will never be able to defeat him, he is far stronger than you, you are no match for him!" Her voice sounded like a cry.The more frightened a person is, the louder he speaks. Fu Hongxue's voice was very calm, and he said slowly: "You know that I can definitely kill him. He is already old, too old, so old that he can only bleed."

Ma Fangling gritted her teeth desperately, but her body had softened, she didn't even have the strength to be angry, just fear. She suddenly lowered her head and said sadly: "That's right, he's old, he's just a helpless old man, so even if you kill him, it won't do you any good." A cruel smile also appeared in Fu Hongxue's eyes, and he said, "Are you begging me not to kill him?" Ma Fangling said: "I...I'm begging you, I've never begged anyone like this before." Fu Hongxue said, "You think I will agree?" Ma Fangling said: "As long as you promise, I..."

Fu Hongxue said, "How are you?" Ma Fangling's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "I'll do whatever you want. If you want me to go, I'll follow you. Wherever you want me to go, I'll go there." She finished these words in one breath, and after she finished speaking, she regretted why she said these words.Even she herself didn't know if these words were what she really wanted to say. Could it be that she was just testing Fu Hongxue, was she still as eager to get her as yesterday! Isn't it too stupid, too dangerous, too scary to use this method to test!

Fortunately, Fu Hongxue did not refuse, but just looked at her coldly. She suddenly found that his eyes were not only cruel, but also had a more unbearable irony than cruelty. He seemed to be saying: "Since you rejected me like that yesterday, why did you come to me again today?" Ma Fangling's heart sank.This silent ridicule is more painful than rejection. Fu Hongxue looked at her, and suddenly said, "I only have one thing to ask you——are you begging me for your father, or for yourself?" He didn't wait for her answer. After asking this question, he turned around and walked away. He took a step with his left leg first, and then slowly followed with his right leg.This strange and ugly walking posture seems to have become a kind of irony now.

Ma Fangling clenched her hand tightly and gritted her teeth, but she still fell down. The sandy soil is hot, salty, hot and bitter.So are her tears. Just now she was just pitying herself and sympathizing with herself, but now she is hating herself, maddened with hatred, terribly hated, wishing that the earth would immediately crack and bury her! Just now she only wanted to destroy those who betrayed her, but now she only wanted to destroy herself... The sun was just shining in the middle of the street. There is not even a person on the street, but there are many pairs of eyes secretly looking out, looking at a person between the window gaps and the door cracks.

Look at Lu Xiaojia. Lu Xiaojia was taking a bath in a big six-foot-high wooden barrel, which was placed in the middle of the street. The water was so full that he stood in the barrel with his head just above the water. A set of brand new white shirts and trousers were neatly folded and placed on the wooden shelf next to the barrel. His sword is also on the wooden stand, and of course there is a large bag of peanuts beside it. He could get a sword as soon as he reached out, and a peanut as soon as he reached out his hand. Now he is picking up a peanut, crushing it, peeling it off, throwing it up, and opening his mouth.

The peanut just fell into his mouth. He was obviously very comfortable. The sun was very hot, and the water was steaming, but there was not even a drop of sweat on his face. He didn't even think it was hot enough, so he knocked on the wooden barrel and said loudly: "Boil water, boil more water." Immediately, two people came out of the narrow door with two large pots of boiling water. One was Ding Laosi, and the other was yellow and emaciated, with two mouse-like beards. He was the shopkeeper Hu of the grain store. He looked exactly like a mouse stealing rice. Lu Xiaojia frowned and said, "Why are there only two of you, what about Chen?" Shopkeeper Hu apologized and said with a smile: "He will come. He probably went to find a woman now. There are not many women in this place." As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately saw a very attractive woman. This woman appeared with a pleasant ringtone, and her laughter was as clear as the ringtone. The sun shone on her, and her whole body was shining with golden light, but her skin was like white jade. She was wearing a thin light shirt, and when the wind blows, a man's heartbeat might stop. Her wrist was soft, her fingers were long and beautiful, and she was holding a man's hand tightly. Shopkeeper Hu's eyes were straightened, and the eyes in the window gap and the door gap were also straightened. They could vaguely recognize her as the girl in red who "liked" Lu Xiaojia very much. No one thought that she would hold Ye Kai's hand and suddenly appear here again. Even if everyone knows that a woman's heart changes quickly, no one would expect her to change so quickly. Ding Linglin didn't care what other people were thinking. There was no one else in her eyes at all, she just looked at Ye Kai, and suddenly smiled: "Today is obviously the weather for killing people, why is someone killing pigs here?" Ye Kai said: "Kill the pig?" Ding Linglin said: "If it's not for killing pigs, why do you need such hot water?" Ye laughed and said, "I heard that hot water is also used for giving birth." Ding Linglin blinked and said, "It's strange, why did this child grow up so big when he was born?" Ye Kai said: "Could it be a freak?" Ding Linglin nodded solemnly, suppressed a smile and said, "It must be a freak." Someone behind the door couldn't help laughing. The laughter suddenly turned into an exclamation, and a peanut shell suddenly flew in through the crack of the door, knocking out two of his big teeth. Lu Xiaojia's face was livid, as if she was sitting in ice water, staring at Ding Linglin, and said coldly, "So it's the terrible girl Ding." Ding Linglin's eyes moved, and she said sweetly: "The word "death" is so ugly, why don't you call me a nicer name?" Lu Xiaojia said: "I should have thought it was yours. There are not many people who dare to take my name." Ding Linglin said: "Actually, your name doesn't sound too nice. I always wonder why someone calls you Sika Deer?" Lu Xiaojia said calmly: "Maybe it's just because they all know that the sika deer's horns are also very sharp, and anyone who touches it will die." Ding Linglin said: "Then you should be called Big Buffalo, wouldn't the horns be more powerful?" Lu Xiaojia's face darkened.Now he finally realized that bickering with women is unwise, so he suddenly changed his words: "How is your elder brother?" Ding Linglin smiled and said: "He has always been very good, what's more, he won a good sword recently. He won it in a sword competition with a flying whale swordsman from the South China Sea. You know that his favorite thing is a good sword." Lu Xiaojia asked again: "Where's your second brother?" Ding Linglin said: "Of course he is also very good. Recently he beat Hebei's 'Hufengtang' to pieces and cut off the heads of the three tigers. You know that his favorite thing is to kill robbers." Lu Xiaojia said, "Where's your third brother?" Ding Linglin said: "He is the best. He fought with the Nangong brothers from Gusu for three days, first fighting singing, fighting chess, and then fighting palms and swords. They all won, and a group of Qingyin and Xiaochang were added." She Yanran continued: "Ding Sanshao's favorite is wine and beauties, you should know it too." Lu Xiaojia said, "What does your brother-in-law like?" Ding Linglin laughed and said, "Of course my brother-in-law likes my sister." Lu Xiaojia said, "How many older sisters do you have?" Ding Linglin smiled and said: "Not many, only six. Haven't you heard of the Ding family's Three Musketeers and Seven Fairies?" Lu Xiaojia suddenly smiled and said, "Very good." Ding Linglin blinked and said, "What do you mean very good?" Lu Xiaojia said: "What I mean is that luckily the Ding family has more women and fewer men." Ding Linglin said: "So what?" Lu Xiaojia said, "You know I don't like killing women." Ding Linglin said: "Oh." Lu Xiaojia said: "Only killing three people is fortunately not many." Ding Linglin seemed to find it very interesting, and said, "Are you going to kill my three brothers?" Lu Xiaojia asked, "Do you only have three older brothers?" Ding Linglin suddenly sighed and said, "It's very bad." Lu Xiaojia said: "Very bad?" Ding Linglin said: "They are not here, of course it is very bad." Lu Xiaojia said: "What if they are here?" Ding Linglin said leisurely: "As long as one of them is here, you are already a dead deer now." Lu Xiaojia looked at her, his gaze suddenly shifted from her face to the pile of peanuts. He seemed to be very satisfied with himself because he felt that he had finally chosen something more beautiful, and even those sharp eyes softened. Then he picked up a peanut, peeled it off, and threw it away. The snow-white peanut had a pleasing luster under the sun. He watched the peanut fall into his mouth, closed his eyes, sighed long, and began to chew slowly. Warm sunshine, warm water, sweet peanuts. He is content with everything. Ding Linglin was very dissatisfied. It was like a play, and the play must have gone on.She even arranged all the scripts below, but Lu Xiaojia is a poor actor, as if she suddenly forgot all the scripts below, and refused to accompany her to perform. It's really boring. Ding Linglin sighed, turned to Ye Kai and said, "You should have seen what kind of person he is by now." Ye Kai nodded and said, "He is indeed a smart man." Ding Linglin said: "Smart people?" Ye Kai smiled and said: "Smart people know that eating peanuts with their mouths is much more enjoyable than arguing with their mouths." Ding Linglin just wanted to bite him with her mouth. If Ye Kai said that Lu Xiaojia was deaf and a coward, then the play could still continue. Unexpectedly, Ye Kai is also a poor actor, and he is completely unwilling to cooperate with her. Lu Xiaojia finished chewing the peanut, sighed again, and murmured: "I just now know that women also like to watch men take a bath, otherwise why would she still refuse to leave?" Ding Linglin stomped her feet, took Ye Kai's hand, and said with a blushing face, "Let's go." Ye Kai followed her.When they turned around, they heard Lu Xiaojia laughing, laughing out loud, very happy. Ding Linglin gritted her teeth and pinched Ye Kai's hand with her nails. Ye Kai said, "Does your hand hurt?" Ding Linglin said: "It doesn't hurt." Ye Kai said: "Why does my hand hurt so much?" Ding Linglin said bitterly: "Because you are a bastard, you never say what you should say." Ye Kai smiled bitterly: "I never say what I shouldn't say." Ding Linglin said: "Do you know what I want you to say?" Ye Kai said: "It's useless to say anything." Ding Linglin said: "Why didn't it work?" Ye Kai said: "Because Lu Xiaojia already knew that we deliberately wanted to provoke him, and also knew that we must not get angry at this time." Ding Linglin said: "How do you know he knows?" Ye Kai said: "Because if he didn't know, he wouldn't have to wait until now, he would have already turned into a dead deer." Ding Linglin sneered and said, "You seem to admire him very much." Ye Kai said: "But he is not the one I admire the most." Ding Linglin said: "Who is it?" Ye Kai said: "It's me." Ding Linglin suppressed her laughter and said, "I don't see anything admirable about you." Ye Kai said: "At least a little bit." Ding Linglin said: "Which point?" Ye Kaidao: "When others pinch me with their nails, I don't seem to know." Finally Ding Linglin couldn't help smiling, she was suddenly satisfied with everything, and she didn't realize that there were a pair of jealous eyes staring at them. Ma Fangling's eyes were full of jealousy as she watched them walk into Chen Daguan's silk and satin shop. They had originally decided to wait here, for Fu Hongxue to appear, and for that terrifying duel. Ding Linglin can also take this opportunity to add a few sets of clothes here. As long as there is an opportunity to buy clothes, few women will miss it. Ma Fangling watched them walk in holding hands, their hands seemed to hold her heart. Why has no one in this world ever come to hold her hand like this? She hated herself, hated herself for why she couldn't always get other people's favor. It was very dark behind the corner, and even the sun could not shine here. She felt like an illegitimate child abandoned by her parents at birth. Hot water came again. Lu Xiaojia watched the shopkeeper Hu of the food store pour hot water into the bucket, and said, "Why hasn't the man come yet?" Shopkeeper Hu smiled apologetically, "Who?" Lu Xiaojia said: "The person you want me to kill." Shopkeeper Hu said: "He will come." Lu Xiaojia said: "It's not enough for him to come alone." Shopkeeper Hu said: "Who else is there?" Lu Xiaojia said: "Woman." Shopkeeper Hu said: "I'm also going to find Mr. Chen." Lu Xiaojia said lightly: "Maybe he will never come." Shopkeeper Hu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Why?" Lu Xiaojia didn't answer his words, but half-opened her eyes, looking at his hands. His hands were thin and sallow, but they were steady, and the copper pot full of water seemed empty in his hands. Lu Xiaojia suddenly smiled and said, "Others say you are the shopkeeper of the grain store, are you really?" Shopkeeper Hu forced a smile and said, "Of course..." Lu Xiaojia said: "But the more I look at you, the less you look like you." He suddenly lowered his voice and said quietly: "I always feel that you don't need to invite me at all." Shopkeeper Hu said: "Why?" Lu Xiaojia said leisurely: "When you were going to kill someone before, didn't you always kill yourself?" The water in the jug has been emptied, but the hand holding the jug is still hanging in the air. After a long time, the hands were put down, and shopkeeper Hu suddenly lowered his voice, and said word by word: "We invited you to kill people, and did not invite you to interrogate us." Lu Xiaojia nodded slowly and said with a smile, "It makes sense." Shopkeeper Hu said: "We have already paid you the price you asked, and no one has ever asked about your details." Lu Xiaojia said, "But what about the woman I want?" Shopkeeper Hu said: "Woman..." Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a person shouting loudly: "Then it depends on what kind of woman you want?" It was also the voice of a woman speaking. Lu Xiaojia turned her head and saw a woman slowly coming out from behind the wall. A very young, good-looking woman, but her eyes were full of grief and hatred. Ma Fangling had reached the middle of the street. The sun was shining on her face, and she had a strange expression on her face, which is usually only seen on a person's face when they are bound to the execution ground. Lu Xiaojia's gaze has moved from her feet to her face, and finally settled on her mouth. Her mouth was soft and full, like a ripe and juicy fruit. Lu Xiaojia laughed, and said with a smile: "Are you asking me what kind of woman I want?" Ma Fangling nodded. Lu Xiaojia smiled and said, "I want a woman like you, you must know it yourself." Ma Fangling said: "Then the woman you want is already available." Lu Xiaojia said, "Is that you?" Ma Fangling said, "It's me!" Lu Xiaojia laughed again: Ma Fangling said: "You think I'm lying to you?" Lu Xiaojia said: "Of course you won't lie to me, but I always feel that you should at least smile at me first." Ma Fangling laughed immediately, and no one could deny that she was indeed laughing. Lu Xiaojia frowned. Ma Fangling said: "Are you still not satisfied?" Lu Xiaojia sighed and said, "Because I never like women who laugh like they're crying." Ma Fangling bit her lip hard, and after a long time, she said softly, "Although I don't smile well, I do other things very well." Lu Xiaojia said, "What will you do?" Ma Fangling said, "What do you want me to do?" Lu Xiaojia looked at her, and suddenly threw a bath towel in the basin over. Ma Fangling had no choice but to catch it. Lu Xiaojia said, "Do you know what this is for?" Ma Fangling shook her head. Lu Xiaojia said, "This is for wiping your back." Ma Fangling looked at the bath towel in her hand, her hands suddenly began to tremble, and even the bath towel fell down. But she quickly picked it up again and clenched it tightly. She seemed to have used all the strength in her body, and the smooth and delicate back of her hand had also protruded with blue veins due to the force. But she knew that the thing she grabbed in her hand this time would never fall again.She must not let anything drop from her hands, she has already lost too much. Of course Lu Xiaojia was still looking at her, with a needle-like smile in his eyes, as if he wanted to pierce her heart. She clenched her teeth and said suddenly, "I still have something to ask you." Lu Xiaojia said leisurely: "I don't like women who talk too much, but this time I can make an exception and let you ask." Ma Fangling said: "You have a woman now, and the person you want to kill is still alive." Lu Xiaojia said, "You don't want him to live?" Ma Fangling nodded. Lu Xiaojia said: "You came here just to ask me to kill him?" Ma Fangling nodded again. Lu Xiaojia laughed again, and said flatly, "Don't worry, I guarantee he won't live long."
