Chapter 4 The fourth round

The boy Zhanbai turned his mind, but saw the old man stretch out a fat and short palm, and said, "Zhanbai, show the old man what you have in your hand." As he spoke, he laughed again: "I want to see what's in it, why did I take out one and send it to Hua Laohou? It would be great if I had a bag like this!" Zhan Bai couldn't help taking a step back, bowed and said: "This is the relic of my father, senior, please forgive me for not being able to—" Before the words were finished, the old man suddenly snorted coldly, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said sharply: "Are you going to give it or not?"

The viciousness in the eyes suddenly appeared again, just like the expression when he was staring at the shadow just now. Zhan Bai felt a chill in his heart, remembering his palm wind just now, he couldn't help sighing, and cursed in his heart: "Why do I encounter all these incomprehensible things and unreasonable people today?" Feeling bored in his heart, he said more and more I can't speak. But seeing that the old man's face became even more impatient, he moved slowly and walked towards him.Zhan Bai has never evaded anything, but thinking about it now, why should he be entangled with such an unreasonable person?With a slightly wrong footstep, he shouted: "The junior has something to do, so I won't accompany you!" Swipe towards the forest.

Unexpectedly, he heard a cold snort in his ears, and his eyes flickered, the old man stood in front of him again, and shouted sharply: "Baby, you want to run? If you don't ask, who can escape me, Fei Yitong!" Although Zhan Bai has just entered the rivers and lakes, but the word "Fei Yitong" is unique to his ears, he couldn't help shuddering several times, secretly sighing that he was unlucky to meet this person today. It turns out that "Fei Yitong" is extremely skilled in martial arts, and his actions are extremely unpredictable, even if he is a first-class master in the martial arts, there is no one who is not afraid of meeting this "tough hand and childlike heart" Fei Yitong.

At this moment, Zhan Bai turned his eyes and saw Fei Yitong's shadow reflected on the barren grass again, his thoughts suddenly moved, he pointed to the shadow on the ground and said: "Senior Fei, look at this damn guy is here again " Fei Yitong's eyes froze, looking at the shadow on the ground, he slowly raised his palm, Zhan Bai was secretly happy in his heart, who would have thought that this "tough hand childlike heart" suddenly withdrew his palm, laughed and said: "Here he is, he is here , the old man will not be fooled by you. Hurry up and get what you have in your hand!" The voice fell, and he shot out suddenly, and grabbed the sack in Zhan Bai's hand like an electric shock.

Zhan Bai gave a loud shout, his body was slightly elongated, and he sprinted backwards. Fei Yitong laughed, his wrist trembled slightly, he stretched out his little finger, and swiped it sideways, Zhan Bai felt a numbness in his left wrist, and the sack in his right hand was snatched away. He regained his composure slightly, but saw that the figure of the "hot hand childlike heart" was already two feet away, and was staggering into the woods. At this moment, his heart was full of shame and anger, and he couldn't care about anything else. middle.I saw the figure of Fei Yitong walking slowly among the tree trunks, holding a bag made of fine linen in one hand, and digging out the things in the bag with the other hand.

In half a day, Zhan Bai was hit repeatedly, his rationality was almost completely submerged, and he immediately rushed towards the "tough childlike heart" who seemed to be pacing in the forest like a crazy tiger. But the branches of this forest are quite dense, that "tough boy" Fei Yitong seems to be pacing, but in fact his movement is extremely fast, when Zhan Bai circled around a dozen tree trunks and rushed towards him frantically, Fei Yitong But Yitong had already gone far away, grabbed a mess of hair from the cloth bag with one hand, threw it on the ground, and cursed repeatedly: "So this kid is an idiot, so this kid is an idiot! I When he puts something good in this bag, it turns out to be stinky rubbish." With a wave of his arms, he threw the coins, steel balls, copper buckles, and silk ribbons in the bag to the ground one after another, and jumped up again, Grabbing a weak branch with his left hand, he hung the bag on it with his right hand.

Zhan Bai looked up, and saw that the branch was three feet above the ground, but Fei Tong's body was hanging on it, like four taels of cotton, bouncing up and down with the weak branch. He yelled, and jumped up, but he didn't know that his figure could not rise more than two feet, and then fell down again. Fei-Tong laughed loudly, turned over, straddled the branches, Looking at Zhan Bai on the ground, he laughed very proudly. Zhan Bai's heart was full of anger, although he knew that this strange man's martial arts were far superior to his own, but he put his life and death aside, and continued to pounce on him with all his strength.

This time he jumped two zhang away, saw that the branch was not far from the top of his head, he stretched out his hand to copy it, but he didn't know that his thumb was touching the branch, he couldn't jump an inch higher, so he had to fall down again. This "tough child at heart" Fei Yitong clapped his hands and laughed loudly, suddenly seemed to be over-satisfied, he tilted his body and fell down. Zhan Bai snorted secretly, ready to give him a slap as soon as he landed on the ground. Unexpectedly, Fei Yitong fell halfway up, volleyed a "dead man's lift", his body turned up straight again, sat on the branch in an even and stable manner, laughed and said: "Young man, if you can get up here, I will take this place." Return the broken bag to you."

Zhan Bai saw that his two feet hanging in the air kept shaking back and forth, while the weak branch was still only slightly pressed down, and he knew that although this strange person seemed crazy, his martial arts were unfathomable, so he let out a long sigh and waited. Turning around and walking out, but after thinking about it, he cursed himself: "Zhanbai, Zhanbai, what kind of a man are you? When you encounter a little difficulty, you get timid. What big things can you do in the future? Why don't you just die!" As soon as he thought of this, he felt the blood rushing in his heart, he suddenly darted under the tree, and climbed up the tree trunk with hands and feet, and he heard the strange man's laughter, although it did not stop, but it seemed to have gradually faded away Go, looked up, there was no one left on the branch, and the strange man no longer knew where to go.

Looking around in a blink of an eye, the wind blew the trees, the branches and leaves swayed, the laughter mixed with ridicule and complacency disappeared in the rustling wind, Zhan Bai was startled, and saw that the bag was still fluttering on the top of the tree with the wind, Then he climbed up a few feet, stretched out his right hand to grab the bag, but the branch was five feet long, but his hand was less than three feet long. The bag was still shaking, like that weird voice, mocking and triumphant.Zhanbai gritted his teeth in the dark, twisted his body and threw it, and grabbed it in his hands, but his body had nowhere to hold it, and he fell to the ground with a "poof", he rushed a few steps, and then he stood still.

All of a sudden, shame, anger, shame, and annoyance came together in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like. He stretched out his hand and found that the bag was already empty, only the faded silk remained.But there were too many things blocked in his mind, so many that he couldn't sort out a clue. In the woods, although there is moonlight leaking in, it is still dark after all.He walked in a daze, forgetting where he came from and where he was going. He couldn't help but secretly condemned himself: none of his father's last orders and friends' entrustments could be properly fulfilled by him. At this moment, all the things that were so carefully handed over to Bai Ji were lost from his own hands. Even if he wanted to die and apologize, how could he have the face to see his father under Jiuquan? So he began to search on the ground, hoping to find the things thrown away by that lunatic-like weirdo, but how could he find these tiny things in the woods where even the figures on the opposite side could not be distinguished? I don't know how long it took before he stopped, tried his best to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his heart, looked around, and saw that the place where he was standing was the place where he had just met "Yanyun Wutyrants", Mr. Anle and others. That clearing in the forest, but at this moment, there is no trace of people, even the body of "Chasing the Wind Without Shadow" Hua Qingquan, who has moved it. Looking up, the stars and the moon are still bright in Linshao, he thought to himself: "I don't know what time it is now, I will rest here for a while, and when the sky is bright, I will go to the forest to find those father's relics. Alas! Anyway, I have nowhere to go right now, what difference does it make if I stay here a little longer or stay here a little longer?" In his mind, he was extremely dazed, so he randomly found a stone, leaned against the tree trunk and sat down, only to feel that his thoughts became more and more chaotic, and he fell asleep unconsciously, not knowing that the east was white. In his sleep, he seemed to have returned to his golden childhood. His kind mother was patting his body tenderly, humming an unknown nursery rhyme. So he smiled, the rising sun, just like a loving mother's hand, brushed gently on his body, for a moment, he didn't know if it was really a dream at this moment, he just felt that the hand that was patting him was getting heavier and heavier, Finally rubbing his eyes and waking up, he heard a gentle voice in his ear saying: "Morning dew and morning breeze, it's so heavy, you sleep here, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" The voice became more and more real, so real that he knew it didn't come from a dream.He tried his best to clear his mind, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes standing in front of him, looking at him with an incomparably kind gaze, which he already had. Haven't enjoyed it for a long time. Seeing him open his eyes, the middle-aged beautiful woman smiled kindly, and said: "Young people don't know how to cherish their own lives. When they grow up, it's too late to regret it." Although the voice is friendly, there seems to be an indescribable melancholy taste in it. Zhan Bai was stunned for a moment, turned over and got up, he was originally a person with the most affectionate nature, seeing this middle-aged beautiful woman who had never met him before, but treated him so tenderly and kindly, he couldn't help being moved, thinking Say a few words of gratitude, but don't know what to say. Seeing him like this, the beautiful middle-aged woman's eyes became more benevolent, she sighed softly, and said: "A man's ambition is everywhere, he should have come out to make a living, but, alas, what place is there in the world?" How can it be as warm as a home? Looking at your haggard face, it seems that you have been wandering outside for a long time, if you don't blame me for being talkative, you... you'd better go home quickly. " After speaking, he patted his shoulder lightly, turned and walked over. Zhan Bai looked at her back, but felt the blood rushing in his heart, unable to be himself, and suddenly lamented: "I... I have no home!" Two crystal clear teardrops rolled in the eyes, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. Live flow down. The middle-aged beautiful woman took two steps. Hearing this sentence, she paused, then turned around, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her cheeks, and sighed: "I have never seen a woman like Madam in my life." Such a good person, so I couldn’t help—" He paused for a moment, then looked around, but saw an extremely gorgeous carriage parked at the end of the woods, and on both sides of the carriage, there were four big men with swords in their horses, and they kept looking back, one by one. His thick eyebrows were deeply frowned, seemingly unhappy. With a thought in his mind, he continued: "Madam has something to do, let's go, I... I will definitely cherish my life in the future." He said this, but he was thinking to himself: "Actually, there is nothing worth cherishing in life. If I didn't have my father's revenge, it wouldn't be a pity to die immediately, but I don't even know who killed my father's enemy." , I also lost my father’s belongings!” I couldn’t help but feel very sad. The middle-aged beautiful woman frowned slightly, and asked softly: "You are still young, but why do you seem to have many sad and incomprehensible things in your words? Sigh! You young people are always like this. When you feel sad, you are already so melancholy. When you are at my age, even if you have sorrows and troubles in your heart, you will not say it out. Alas! I want to say it, but I say it’s a cool autumn! Alas, Young man, why don’t you just smile? The great life, the dark green years, are waiting for you to enjoy them!” The middle-aged beautiful woman spoke softly, and Zhan Bai wished that she would go on forever. When he looked up, he saw the melancholy in her eyes, which seemed to be more than his own, and he couldn't help thinking to himself: "This woman is well-dressed and graceful Huagui, it is obvious that it is not the family members of high-ranking officials, or the wives of wealthy businessmen, they are extremely blessed people, why do they have such troubles?" He thought again: "She and I have never been strangers, and she has treated me like this. I think she must be an extremely kind and good person. If she is really troubled, how can I not solve it for her?" He only knew that if people treat him like this, he should repay them ten times more, but he put his own troubles aside, as for other people's troubles, whether he can solve them, he didn't care, he straightened his chest and said loudly: " I see that Madam also seems to have some troubles, so you might as well tell me that although I am useless, I still have some stupid strength, as long as I can do something, I will do my best for Madam." The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said, "I've never met you before, why did you help me?" Zhan Bai couldn't help being startled for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Madam, I can't answer such a question, but since I was wandering, even if I lay under the heavy rain, no one took care of me, but at this moment, Madam is taking care of me like this, if I It is the happiest thing to be able to serve my wife." After talking about it, he only felt that what he said was the only truth in the world, so the tone of his voice became louder and louder, and his sleepy eyes, which were still sleepy, also showed a spirit. The middle-aged beautiful woman turned her eyes twice, and seemed to be greatly moved in her heart, and sighed softly: "Oh, silly boy, I just drove by here and saw you sleeping under the morning dew, so I was afraid you would catch a cold , to greet you in order to get off the car, what's so great about it? If I really have something difficult to do and I want you to do it, wouldn't you be too dazed?" Zhan Bai sighed and said: "I can't speak, and I often can't say what I think in my heart!" The middle-aged beautiful woman shook her hand suddenly and said: "It's fine not to say anything, anyway, I already know that you are a very good child, and I will always keep your kindness in my heart, alas——Qing'er's Xin, if only half of you are kind, why does God always make kind people suffer?" Stretching out his hand to caress his cheeks, he gazed at Zhan Bai tenderly for a while, and then said: "Don't forget my words, put aside the troubles in your heart, there are many people without a home in the world, the worst thing for young people is self-pity , do you know that some good things in life have to be created by oneself, if one is depressed and doesn’t fight, such a person deserves to suffer for the rest of his life.” She smiled again, turned and walked away. He stood under the tree and was stunned for a long while. What the middle-aged beautiful woman said still lingered in his ears at this moment: "...the wonderful life, the dark green years, are waiting for you to enjoy...life Some of the good things in life are created by oneself..." He carefully understood the meaning of these words, and he didn't feel crazy. Unexpectedly, the sound of horseshoes outside the forest was loud again. He looked up and saw three healthy horses rushing into the forest like arrows, galloping up to him, and the riders each reined in. The three horses raised their heads and neighed, and the people stood up, the rider on the horse had already dismounted, but it was the well-dressed man who was protecting the middle-aged beautiful woman just now. Zhan Bai was slightly startled, but at the same time very surprised, he didn't know what was the intention of these three big men turning back suddenly. Those three big men in strong suits had solid footsteps and strong bodies, their temples on both sides bulged like mounds, one could tell at a glance that they were all practitioners with strong martial arts skills.They glanced at Zhan Bai, and without saying a word, they walked towards him side by side, their eyes even more murderous. Zhan Bai was very surprised: "These people seem to be harming me, but I don't recognize any of them. Why are things in the world so strange, they always make me encounter unnecessary troubles!" Before the thought was finished, the three well-dressed men shouted violently, and rushed forward in three directions. Zhan Bai was startled, his body collapsed slightly, he took two steps back, his back was tightly leaning against the tree trunk, "The overlord removes his armor" and "like a seal like a seal", blocked three moves in a row. The three big men sneered and shouted: "Young man, hurry up and take your life. You are dreaming if you want to fight hard in front of the gentlemen with these two strokes." palm. Zhan Bai's martial arts are not high at all, and he doesn't have a sword in his hand, so he has to give a three-point discount. In addition, he is exhausted and exhausted. At this moment, where are these three big men who are like dragons and tigers? , I couldn't help but want to ask: "What is the grievance between me and you? Why do you want to kill me without saying anything?" But he is a very stubborn person, and he never asks it out of his mouth, because As long as he asked, he would appear to be inferior to others, which he would rather die than do. These three big men sneered again and again, their hands became more and more hot, and they were all masters in the martial arts. Zhan Bai was so careless that he was hit on the chest with a "bang", almost shaking his back. All the discounts were given, but he didn't even groan, "Splitting Huashan with strength" and "Heihu pierce the heart" suddenly punched out, and at the same time "progressively teasing the yin", kicked the big man on the right in the lower abdomen. This punch and one leg were all the strength of his whole body, and he forced the three big men to take a step back, especially the big man on the right who has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, "south punches and north legs". He was almost kicked by Zhan Bai. He took two steps back, and Fang Zi took the stake to stand firm. In a rage, he suddenly turned around and pulled out a shiny ghost knife from behind. Qi Qingzi greeted him." With a flash of blue light, he slashed at Zhan Bai on the head, and the other two also drew their weapons, and rushed at Zhan Bai viciously, while laughing loudly: "Hey, you kid, do you know why the lords want to kill you? Hehe, I think it was because you lacked morality in the previous life, so if you were to die in this life, you would be a fool.” Zhan Bai was startled and angry, his figure dodged left and right, managed to dodge three moves, the knife flashed in front of his eyes, he was already in danger, he twisted his body to dodge with all his strength, unexpectedly his leg felt cold, but he was already hit by the knife.He sighed inwardly, knowing that today is a very bad day, although he didn't take matters of life and death to heart, but when he thought of his father's death without avenging his revenge, he really couldn't bear to die.As soon as I thought of this, my courage was greatly increased, and I got up my spirits, and I did a few more moves, and the pain in my leg disappeared, but I didn't know that my left arm was cold again, and was cut by the blade with a length of one foot. At this time, even though he had incomparable courage and fought for his life, the pain from the knife wound on his body made him unable to support him any longer. Let him die with him. Unexpectedly, Lin Waidu galloped into another healthy horse, before it arrived, he immediately shouted to himself: "Chen Qing, Chen Ping, you still don't stop!" His voice was crisp and clear, it was the accent of that middle-aged beautiful woman. The three big men glanced at each other and backed away together, but the one on the right cursed at Zhan Bai in a low voice: "Young man, don't you dare to treat our wife again..." Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "pa", his face was slapped, and his face changed suddenly. When he looked around, he saw that the middle-aged beautiful woman was standing in front of him. Liao got off the horse, and slapped him with some kind of movement, and at the same time angrily said: "What are you talking about me?" The well-dressed man Kong was so angry that his face changed color, but he didn't dare to say a word. The middle-aged beautiful woman sneered and said: "You have become more and more outrageous recently, and you will kill people at every turn. This boy is only as old as the young master. Even if the old man saw me talking to him with his own eyes, it won't matter. What's the matter with you slaves who rely on people's power? If I didn't rush here as soon as I found out that you weren't there, wouldn't I be killed by you at such a young age?" When she cursed, the faces of the three big men changed color, but none of them dared to raise their heads, they only heard her snort, and then scolded: "Go away!" The three big men leaned over and lowered their hands, retreated five steps in a row, turned around together, and ran out of the forest without looking back, even forgetting to lead the horse. The knife wound on Zhan Bai's body was painful, but he still didn't lose his consciousness. Seeing the beautiful woman galloping through the forest and slapping the big man, he couldn't help crying "ashamed" in his heart, he thought this woman was a The weak and wealthy lady never imagined that her skills were far superior to her own, but she had previously said that she needed to rely on some strength to help her solve her troubles. Later, when he saw the woman with Qiushuang on her face, she swept away her previous gentleness, and scolded the three strong-armed men in bloody clothes. The color is fully revealed, and I can't help feeling even more strange in my heart, not knowing what kind of person this woman is. The middle-aged beautiful woman watched the three big men galloping out of the forest, Fang Shi turned her head and walked up to Zhan Bai. Zhan Bai forced a smile.Said: "Thank you Madam for saving me, otherwise..." Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the middle-aged beautiful woman suddenly pointed at him and yelled "Ouch". Zhan Bai couldn't help being startled, looked up, and saw the eyes of this middle-aged beautiful woman were full of concern, and said slowly: "You young people are really... Do you know that you are sick? ?” Zhan Bai forced a smile again, but saw her go on to say: "I didn't see it just now, but I feel that even if you are in good health, it is extremely inappropriate to sleep here when the dew is heavy in the early morning, now... ...Ah! If the wind and cold hit the bones, and the inside and outside invade, then..." She sighed softly and stopped her words. Zhan Bai only felt that the warmth and kindness contained in her words was something he had never experienced in his life.For a moment, my heart was filled with gratitude, and I stared blankly at this middle-aged beautiful woman, unable to speak for a long time. He was stunned for a while, then turned his eyes and saw that there were already pedestrians on the road, and they seemed to be about to enter the woods soon. He sighed in his heart, bowed to the middle-aged beautiful woman, and said, "Xiao Ke is lonely. Wandering, my wife treats each other like this, Xiao Ke dare not say anything, only deeply engraved in my heart, and will never forget it for the rest of my life." He paused slightly, and said again: "It's just that Xiao Ke's body is still strong, even if she has a slight injury, she can still hold it, Madam don't have to worry about it." The middle-aged beautiful woman shook her head lightly , said: "You know. Although you don't look very good on the outside, the light in your eyes has faded. According to my observation, you are not only injured, but the injury is not serious. People who practice martial arts are already dead if they are not sick." , Once you get sick, you will be out of control! Alas, you are still young, there are many things you don't know yet, you should listen to my words, I believe I will never be wrong." Zhan Bai's heart moved: "Could it be that I'm really hurt..." He tried to adjust his breath secretly, and he found that his chest was extremely uncomfortable. You must know that his heart was deeply depressed. Last night, he suffered various accidents and was very excited. Just now he fought fiercely with those three big men. He suffered external injuries. It was due to internal and external invasion. That's all.The middle-aged beautiful woman sighed softly, and said: "You listen to me, go home quickly...or find a place with close friends, so that you can rest for a while." As she spoke, she reached into her arms, took out a small box that was inlaid with jewels, and was extremely delicately made, opened it slowly, and took out a small bag wrapped in soft satin very carefully, and opened it carefully, revealing that there was a bag inside. The grains are red pills like amber.He picked up the pill with his thumb and forefinger, brought it to Zhan Bai, and said, "I was careless for a while, I didn't know that those stupid people were so boring and hurt you, alas... I Although I know you won't blame me, I still feel very uncomfortable. I have kept this pill for many years, and it may be useful to you, so take it!" Zhan Bai slowly stretched out his palm and took it. He saw the crimson pill rolling continuously in his palm. Thinking of what happened in his life, he couldn't feel sadness coming from it, and said in a low voice, "I...I I have no home...and...no friends, I have no home...and no friends." In my heart, I felt so sad!The blood was surging, but he felt that the crimson pill in front of him was rolling faster and faster, and it turned red, like a ball of fire, burning around him, with a "wow", he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. After a few shakes, he finally fell down.But I heard the middle-aged beautiful woman exclaim in my ear, and I didn't know anything.
