9. Matching
Liu Qi was powerless to wait for death in despair, and suddenly heard a voice calling to him, opened his eyes suddenly, opened his mouth wide and exhaled a long breath.
Panting heavily, although he still felt swelling pain in his chest and abdomen and left leg, it was much more comfortable than before, looking at Zhang Ling, who was crying with joy at the moment with two tear stains on his face, Liu Qi knew that he had passed the ghost gate this time.
It is not easy to completely remove the snake venom from the body, and after ten days of rest, Liu Qi's leg is basically swollen, but it will take a long time for the affected viscera to fully recover.
At noon that day, the weather was unusually hot, and after eating, Liu Qi, who was bored in the house, finally got Yu Ji's permission to go out to breathe, of course, Zhang Ling must follow him every inch from side to side.
Talking and laughing with Zhang Ling while walking, he didn't go far when he heard a cry from the west of the village, and Zhang Ling grabbed Liu Qi's sleeve in a slightly panic. There are few people in the village, Liu Qi has been in a daze for more than half a month, and he has long been familiar with all the villagers, those voices are extremely unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but be vigilant when he saw Zhang Ling's reaction, and instructed Zhang Lingdao: "Ling'er, go home and tell Xian Weng, I'll take a look." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhang Ling ran out of ideas, and saw that Liu Qi had gone away, so he had to stomp his feet and run home.
Liu Qi hurried to Uncle Chen's house in the westernmost part of the village, and saw a mess in the courtyard from a distance, a chicken was clucking and scurrying all over the yard, two people chased behind, and from time to time knocked over the bucket of firewood, Uncle Chen fell to the ground, and several strong men were scolding him.
"Stop!" Liu Qi roared and rushed into the courtyard, everyone in the courtyard was stunned, they all turned around and looked up at him, several people were not tall, they all had to look up at the height of one meter eighty-three, and it was said that it was Liu Qi, who was eight feet tall.
There are a total of eight people in the courtyard, although they are relatively low, they are all stout, they are all wearing blue sleeveless coarse cloth short coats, hanging swords on their waists, the first person is in his early sevens, he is powerful, his head is tied with a belt, he is wearing leather armor, he is hanging a long knife at his waist, his face is slightly dark, his eyes are big and his eyebrows are thick, he is staring at Liu Qi, holding his waist with one hand and pressing on the handle of the knife with the other, which also looks majestic.
"In broad daylight, where do thieves dare to openly rob and injure people?" Although the number of the other party was large, Liu Qi was not stunned and asked loudly.
After speaking, he thought that his words and deeds had become more and more natural, and he was a little complacent about his ability to quickly adapt to this era, the psychological quality of this guy is not ordinarily strong, and it is also, which one of the children in the military compound is a fuel-efficient lamp, Liu Qi, who grew up in that environment, is naturally not satisfied with being a good baby who only knows how to chew books and learn, there are not a hundred or eighty in the big and small fights over the years, and what grandpa taught is not a show, it is a trick that has been practiced on the battlefield! So whether it's a heads-up or a group fight, Liu Qichang has never suffered a loss in this regard. In addition, there are uncles behind him to deal with the aftermath, and he likes to fight more and more, the gangsters in the school saw him and the mouse and the cat, and even the ruffians and hooligans in the society avoided him when they saw him, and he experienced more big scenes, how could he be frightened by these seven or eight small frustrations in front of him?
The other party glanced at each other, and they all looked up and laughed, and the leader laughed: "Where did a sour man come out, I don't even know the military uniforms on my grandfathers, look at your white long and good body, but you are as thin as a chicken, hahaha!" Grandpas are kind-hearted, don't care about the crime of disrespect for you, go quickly, annoy grandpa, don't regret it when you break your bones and tendons! ”
Liu Qi was suddenly furious, this muscle he was proud of was his nirvana for chasing female classmates, but in the other party's mouth, he became a chicken to be slaughtered, but the other party said easily, but several of his subordinates were scattered and stood around him, and his hands were unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the knife.
Bear with it!
With a roll of his eyes, he thought to himself: "Hmph, do you dare to bet with me?" If you win, I'll give you wine and meat, how about that? ”
When I heard that the man headed by wine and meat was interested: "Oh? What is the way to bet, if I lose, what is the way to say? ”
"If you go out and fight with me, you will only talk about your fists and feet, and you will not use your blade, and whoever falls to the ground will lose. If you lose, hum, apologize to the old man, clean up the courtyard, where you come from, and return quickly! ”
"Hahaha......!" The other party laughed loudly: "This son is really stupid, I expected you to compete in poetry and articles, who would have thought that you would have to compete with fists and feet." ”
"If you don't dare to fight, you will admit defeat!" Liu Qi hugged his arms and didn't say much, just looked at them with disdain.
Only then did the man at the head stop laughing: "Well, you are asking for death and fulfilling you!" Cheng Guan, teach him a lesson! ”
Uncle Chen, who was lying on the ground, got up in pain and begged: "Master Jun, the little old man is willing to offer grain and rice, please calm his anger and don't worry about him." Then he said to Liu Qi: "You are all officials and soldiers in the county, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, you go quickly, if the little old man hurts your body, the little old man can't afford it!" ”
Liu Qi has seen a lot of this kind of bullying thing, as long as he encounters it, he has never swallowed his anger, and smiled at Uncle Chen: "Uncle Chen, don't be afraid, you can see what objects are damaged at home, and ask them to compensate you later." ”
The sturdy military man named Cheng Guan stood in front of Liu Qi with a disdainful face: "Hmph, Huangkou Xiaoer, I don't know how thick the sky is, watch grandpa teach you the rules for your father!" After saying that, he let out a loud shout, and quickly grabbed Liu Qi's chest.
Looking at this young man's fine skin and tender meat, it is obvious that he is a Confucian who has no power to restrain the chicken, Cheng Guan wanted to grab the clothes on the other party's chest, dragged him over, grabbed his waist with the other hand and raised it high, scaring him.
Cheng Guan wanted to show off, although he shot quickly, he only showed five points of strength, who wanted to see a flower in front of him, and the Confucian student on the opposite side was gone.
Liu Qi was prepared, as soon as he saw Cheng Guan's left foot in front of him and his body slightly sideways, he knew that he was going to take out his right leg or right arm, and saw that his left shoulder moved and quickly sank forward and took a diagonal step forward, his left foot had stepped on the outside of Cheng Guan's right leg, and at the same time, his left wrist held the opponent's incoming right arm, grabbed his upper arm and dragged it down, and his right hand had been pressed to Cheng Guan's left shoulder, and he pushed it gently.
"Pour!"
Cheng Guan only felt that the world was spinning, and he had already landed on his back before he could react, Liu Qi didn't want to hurt him, his hand was very light, so Cheng Guan didn't feel pain, but the weather was dry, and he fell to the ground and raised a cloud of dust, he got up and his face was covered with dirt, so he was embarrassed, he screamed angrily, and was about to pounce again, Liu Qichong shouted at the head of the man: "What, you have lost, and you can't repay the debt." ”
The leader laughed, stopped Cheng Guan, and untied his saber: "Cheng Guan retreat, I'll meet him!" ”
Na Cheng Guan glared at Liu Qi hatefully, and retreated to the side unwillingly, listening to the teasing of his companions, his face turned red.
"You have already lost, as an official and soldier, you are willing to be a trustless villain!"
"Hehe, it's not that I'm not trustworthy, it's that you're too anxious and didn't high-five me, but you want to blame me for being untrustworthy, what's the reason?" It turns out that the bet has to be high-fived.
"Come on, little doll, report your name, play with me, if you can defeat me, we will leave immediately." He unsheathed his saber and handed it to his men, and said to the others, "Win or lose, you must not make a mistake." ”
"Whoa!" The sergeants grinned and agreed.
"Under Liu Qi, dare to ask the honorable name!" Liu Qi knew that the names of people in the Han Dynasty were all single words, and after the crown salute at the age of twenty, he would have to call Liu Qi in the future, and he would have to ask Yu Ji to give himself a table word when he turned around.
"A certain Gao Hong, the word Zhenxiang."
"Please!" The two of them high-fived, arched their hands, and opened the posture, Liu Qi did not dare to underestimate the enemy, the level of martial arts skills of martial arts students can be seen from the spiritual temperament, this person has sharp eyes, and there is quite a bit of momentum in his gestures, which is completely different from several people under him.
As soon as he fought, Liu Qi immediately felt unprecedented pressure, although Gao Hong didn't seem to be fast, but he attacked and defended well, without leaking flaws, and the strength was far beyond Liu Qi's expectations, he had grabbed the acupoints on Gao Hong's arms several times, but his muscles were as hard as iron, and he could get rid of them by struggling.
Gao Hong was also very surprised in his heart, this young man seemed to be thin, but his body was extremely flexible, and he didn't know what kung fu he practiced, he grabbed his elbow socket several times, and suddenly felt half of his body numb and weak, and he was able to break free with all his strength.
Gao Hong couldn't help but be really angry, and retreated again and again to lure Liu Qi to attack, revealing a flaw, and when he was leading him to make a move, he suddenly punched out with all his strength in the chest, Gao Hong saw that although the opponent was good at agility, but his strength was insufficient, at this time his strength was old, and he could no longer dodge.
Liu Qi wanted to feint to attack Gao Hong's face, but when he was blocking, his foot stepped behind his leg, changed his hand and struck an elbow, but it was done, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Gao Hong's plan.
Although he didn't expect the other party to defend the counterattack, Liu Qi always kept three points of strength when he made a move, and hurriedly retracted his arms to block, the two forearms were in sharp pain, and then a huge force came through the forearms, Liu Qi only felt that his body was uncontrollable and wanted to fly out upside down, and he flew up and kicked out in a hurry, and he was in the middle of Gao Hong's face, and with the power of this kick, a wonderful 360-degree somersault in the air unloaded all the strength, but after landing, he still staggered back several steps before standing firm, his eyes were black, and his chest was turned over and over, I almost threw up my lunch, and my arm hurt even more.
