Chapter 5 The Fourth Long Night

night.The long cold night had just begun.Ma Rulong picked up some dead branches, found a shelter from the wind in the dilapidated temple, and lit a fire. The light of the fire is likely to attract the enemy. Everyone knows that fire must never be lit while fleeing, even if you die from cold.But this woman really needs a fire, he can be frozen to death, but he can't let this strange woman freeze to death because he is afraid of the enemy's pursuit.He would rather die than do such a shameful thing. The fire was burning brightly.He moved the woman to the warmest and driest place, and he himself needed rest too.Not long after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard someone screaming, "Who are you?"

The woman actually woke up.Not only was she hideously ugly, her voice was equally shrill and terrifying.Ma Rulong didn't answer her.Now he himself doesn't know who he is, a desperate man with neither future nor past.He stood up slowly, wanting to come over to see how the woman was doing, whether she could walk and move, whether she could live on.Unexpectedly, this woman suddenly picked up a dead branch from the fire, and shouted: "If you dare to come here, I will kill you!" He took the risk to save her life, but this extremely ugly woman seemed to think that He's coming to rape her.Ma Rulong sat down again without saying a word.

The woman was still holding the dead branch tightly in her hand, staring at him fiercely with a pair of mouse-like eyes. Ma Rulong closed his eyes again.He was really too lazy to look at her, but the woman asked sharply, "How did I come here?" Ma Rulong didn't bother to answer. The woman finally remembered what happened to her, so she asked, "I seem to have been buried in a snowdrift just now, did you save me?" Ma Rulong said: "Yes." Unexpectedly, the woman yelled again: "Since you saved me, why didn't you send me to the city to find a doctor? Why did you bring me to this ruined temple?"

Her voice was sharper: "I've seen a lot of people like you, and I know you must have no good intentions." Ma Rulong could hardly bear to say: "Don't worry, I won't rape you. I'm not interested in looking like you." But he didn't say it.The woman's face looked even uglier under the firelight, and he couldn't bear to hurt her again.So he could only sigh slowly, and said: "I didn't send you to the doctor, just because I have nothing left." The woman sneered and said, "How can a big man be like this, so poor that he doesn't even have a penny, it must be because you are too lazy to do your job." Ma Rulong didn't bother to talk to her again.But the woman still refused to let him go, she was still nagging and scolding him for being unpromising and worthless.

Ma Rulong stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "The dry firewood here is enough for you to burn overnight. When the morning comes, someone will definitely find it here." He couldn't take it anymore, so he had to go. But the woman screamed again: "What are you doing? Do you want to leave? Don't tell me you want to leave me, a lonely and weak woman, here, what kind of man are you?" Weak woman", but unfortunately she is indeed a woman. The woman sneered and said, "Are you afraid that my enemy will come after you, so you want to run away as soon as possible?"

Ma Rulong couldn't help it anymore, he asked, "Do you have a rival?" The woman said: "I'm not right? Could it be that I buried myself in the snowdrift, is there something wrong with me?" Ma Rulong sat down slowly again.He didn't ask her, who is the enemy?Why did he come to chase you? He only knows that he must not leave now.A weak woman was buried in the ice and snow, and was hunted down. Since a man has encountered such a thing, he must not ignore it. The woman asked again: "Aren't you leaving now?" Ma Rulong said: "I'm not leaving."

The woman actually said: "Why don't you leave? Are you trying to make some bad idea again?" Ma Rulong actually laughed.He really couldn't help laughing, women like this are really rare, he never thought that he would meet one by accident.So what if he doesn't laugh, should he cry bitterly?Are you going to kill him head-on? The woman screamed again: "Why are you laughing secretly by yourself? What the hell are you planning? Say!" Ma Rulong didn't say anything, because someone outside the ruined temple was already saying: "He won't say it. This Mr. Ma is thinking of something in his heart, and he will never say it." Amidst the flickering fire, a person slowly Walking in, it turned out to be Peng Tianba.

Peng Tianba was still holding the silver fox fur in his left hand.In his right hand was a knife, a knife that was out of its sheath, the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife.It's a pity that this woman neither recognized him nor his knife.Her mouse-like eyes immediately stared again, and she said loudly, "Who are you?" Peng Tian overbearingly said: "I am a pig." The woman said: "Although you have gained weight, you seem to be thinner than a pig." Peng Tianba sighed, and said: "It's a pity that I'm a little stupider than a pig, so I took this silver fox fur from him."

The woman looked surprised and asked, "Is this his?" Peng Tian overbearingly said: "Yes." The woman said: "Why did he give you such a good thing?" Peng Tian overbearing: "Because he wants to use this fur to hold my hand." The woman said: "Will you hold this fur with your hand, or will this fur hold your hand?" Peng Tian overbearing: "It's all the same." The woman said: "Why is it the same?" Peng Tian overbearingly said: "It doesn't matter if the fur is holding my hand or my hand is holding the fur, anyway, I already have something in my hand, and I can neither draw a knife nor throw a dart." His Flying Tiger Soul Chaser is as terrifying as his Five Tiger Door Severing Knife.

But the woman didn't understand: "Why didn't he let you draw the sword, and didn't let you send the dart?" Peng Tian overbearing: "Because he wants to escape." The woman said: "Why did he run away? Is it because you bullied him? Why did you bully others?" Peng Tianba could only smile wryly.He finally realized that it was not wise for him to talk to this woman.He immediately lowered his face, and said coldly: "Mr. Ma, you don't need to run away this time. This time, the three of us have split into three groups. Now I'm the only one. You might as well kill me too."

Ma Rulong didn't speak, but the woman rushed to say: "He won't kill you, he is a good man." Peng Tian overbearing: "Is he a good man?" The woman said: "Of course he is a good man. I have never seen such a good man. If you dare to touch him, I will kill you." Peng Tianba laughed, sneered, unexpectedly this woman rushed over, hugged his arm, and said loudly: "I will block him for you, you go quickly." Ma Rulong didn't leave.She couldn't stop Peng Tianba either, and when Peng Tianba's arm shook, she fell to the ground. Peng Tian said domineeringly: "You talk too much, you must be very tired, it's better to lie down." He kicked her lightly, kicked her dizzy point, and covered her with the fox fur in his hand . Ma Rulong stared at the knife in his hand, waiting for him to make a move.Unexpectedly, Peng Tianba inserted the knife into the scabbard at his waist and stretched out his hands to warm the fire.He knew that Ma Rulong couldn't escape, so before making a move, he first made the blood in his hands unblocked.The composure and composure of this old world is beyond admiration. Ma Rulong was actually very calm, he neither appeared restless nor preemptively shot. The fire has weakened.Peng Tianba added some more firewood to the fire, and then said slowly: "Do you know that I am friends with your third uncle?" Ma Rulong said: "Yes." Peng Tian overbearingly said: "Did he ever talk about me in front of you before his death?" Ma Rulong said: "Yes." Peng Tian overbearingly said: "Did he ever talk about how I made friends with him!" Ma Rulong said: "No." Peng Tian overbearingly said: "We don't know each other without fighting." He smiled, and continued: "Your third uncle is a very proud person, so of course he wouldn't mention this matter in front of you." Ma Rulong said: "Why?" Peng Tian domineeringly said: "Because I am not as intelligent as him, but unfortunately his interests are too broad. He has to learn everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Of course, he won't have much time to practice swords." Ma Rulong has also heard of this, his third uncle is not only a very famous swordsman, but also a very famous playboy. Peng Tian overbearingly said: "So although he is worse than me in everything, his martial arts are not as good as mine. I have fought against him three times, and each time I defeated him within a hundred moves." He didn't let Ma Rulong speak, and suddenly Asked: "How is your swordsmanship compared to your third uncle?" Ma Rulong pondered, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I am not as good as him." Peng Tian overbearingly said: "I also believe that your swordsmanship is definitely not as good as his, so even if you have a sword in your hand, I can take your life within a hundred strokes." He continued lightly: "Now you are Those who are empty-handed can only take up to sixty moves from me." Ma Rulong didn't speak.Peng Tianba said again: "My saber technique is a killer. I will do my best with every move. Sometimes although I don't want to kill people, I can't control myself after I slash." He sighed and said, "That's why there are very few survivors under my sword." Ma Rulong remained silent.Peng Tianba said again: "You are also very smart and proud like your third uncle, but I don't want you to die early like him." Ma Rulong said: "What exactly do you want to say?" Peng Tianba also pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "I suddenly feel that there is something strange about this matter." Ma Rulong said: "Oh?" Peng Tian overbearingly said: "Do you know how I found this place?" Ma Rulong shook his head. Peng Tian overbearingly said: "It was you who brought me. It was the horseshoe marks you left on the snow that brought me here." Ma Rulong didn't think of this, because he had never escaped before. Peng Tian said aggressively: "You can come up with such a careful and vicious plan to harm people, you shouldn't be so negligent, and you shouldn't take the risk to save such an ugly girl like her when it's too late for you to escape. Strange woman." He sighed, and said again: "You did these things anyway, it seems that you don't seem to be pretending, even though I am a pig, I can't help but feel a little strange, so..." Ma Rulong said: "So what?" Peng Tian overbearing: "So I hope you can follow me well, don't force me to take action." Ma Rulong said lightly: "Where do you want me to go with you?" Peng Tian overbearingly said: "I will send you to Shaolin temporarily. Within three months, I will find out the truth of this matter for you, and then I will give you justice." Ma Rulong neither agreed nor reject. Peng Tian overbearingly said: "Now you are the target of public criticism, no matter where you go, no one will let you go, you only have this way to go." This is the truth, and it is also the truth. Peng Tianba walked over slowly and said, "So now you must trust me completely, and now only I can help you." He stretched out his hand.It seems that this is indeed the only pair in the world who is willing to help Ma Rulong, the only pair of hands that can help Ma Rulong. Ma Rulong finally took hold of these hands and said, "I believe in you, but..." He didn't say any more. Because at this moment, Peng Tianba suddenly kicked his Huantiao acupoint.As soon as his legs went limp, Peng Tianba's hand flipped over like lightning, pinched his veins, and laughed loudly: "Now you should know who is the pig!" The hand is released, and the person falls down. With a crisp sound of "heh", the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife was out of its sheath again.Peng Tianba is indeed worthy of being one of the best masters of swordsmanship in today's arena.The action of drawing the knife is not only clean and neat, but also graceful in posture. His killing posture must be equally graceful, drawing a knife, usually for the purpose of killing.But he should still have a lot of things to ask Ma Rulong, even if he is sure that Ma Rulong is the real murderer, he should ask clearly first.Why has he drawn his sword now? Ma Rulong finally understood.Seeing Peng Tianba's knife drawn out, he understood that the murderer was Peng Tianba!All the plots and actions were secretly presided over by him, so he must not leave the "heavenly murder" man in black alive. So now he doesn't need to ask any more questions, and he also can't keep Ma Rulong alive. It's a pity that although Ma Rulong has fully understood now, it's too late, the knife is as bright as snow, and it has already slashed straight at him. Unexpectedly, before the knife hit Ma Rulong's neck, Peng Tianba's men jumped up, turned over in the air, and fell far away, their faces changed drastically, and they asked sharply, "Who is it?" Apart from the two people at the acupuncture point, there is no one else here at all.Did he see a ghost? As the flame flickered, Peng Tianba's face seemed to flicker too, red, white, blue.But not only can't see other people here, even ghost shadows can't be seen.Suddenly he dashed over and slashed at Ma Rulong's neck. He has seen the devil again!The ghost he saw this time must be even more terrifying.Ma Rulong didn't see anything, but he jumped up again, even higher, and after turning over in the air, he rushed out without even turning his head. It was dark outside the ruined temple, and once he rushed out, he couldn't even see the shadow of the person.The flames flickered and the wind howled.Suddenly there was another cry in the cold wind, short and sharp, full of fear and surprise. Ma Rulong heard that the cry was from Peng Tianba, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.He really wanted to go out and have a look, but unfortunately the acupuncture points on both his wrists and knees had been blocked. Although Peng Tianba is famous for his saber techniques, his acupressure technique is by no means inferior to others.At this time, as long as someone comes in, as long as there is a knife in his hand.No matter what kind of person he is, no matter what kind of knife he holds in his hand, he can cut Ma Rulong's throat with one knife.Fortunately no one came in.No people, no ghosts, no sound, no movement, nothing.It seemed that only the two of them who could not even move were left in the world, and a pile of fire that was about to be extinguished. However, Ma Rulong knew that someone might come at any time.Even if Peng Tianba doesn't come back again, Feng Chaofan, Master Jue, and Qiu Fengcheng may all come at any time.No matter who came, he would never let him go. Now the long cold night has not yet passed, and it is not yet known what will happen.Winter nights are always very long, very long.
