Chapter Seventy-Three: Ren Xia (II)
The cold winter night wind swept the wind and snow, blowing so that people could hardly open their eyes, and the sentry standing guard had just drunk some soju, and seemed to see a figure in a daze, and when he saw it thoroughly, his neck had begun to spurt blood wildly, and he lost his breath in an instant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Another sentry immediately began to shout, and the barracks soon became as lively as dumplings, and a group of soldiers hurriedly rushed out of the camp tent with their weapons, but what awaited them was a fast knife that was colder than the wind and snow, and the knife only took the neck, and it was extremely cruel!
Yang Aruo knew that he was invincible, but he still broke in, after these soldiers came to Jiuquan County, the first thing they did was to burn down his residence under the leadership of Feng Shuang, and as a result, the fire implicated many neighbors, especially Qiaoqiao's family, for this reason, Qiaoqiao's beautiful cheeks were burned half, and she was not married yet!
Can't stop the anger in your chest, kill!
Where have these soldiers seen such a fierce god on weekdays, and after seeing Yang Aruo kill more than a dozen people in an instant, they were scared, and dozens of people kept retreating around the demon god in front of them, and they never dared to approach the distance of five steps. Yang Aruo advanced, a group of people followed, Yang Aruo retreated, a group of people followed back, even when practicing on weekdays, they had never been so neat.
"Kill him! Twenty times bounty! Feng Shuang shouted, he really couldn't stand it, so he made a bloody investment, anyway, the uncle has no children, his property is now his own, and he can afford this money.
Some of the soldiers were tempted and slaughtered again, and then Yang Aruo cut their necks several times, so the group of people stopped again.
Yang Aruo finally saw Feng Shuang after looking for the voice, his eyes immediately changed, and he raised his knife forward, and all those who blocked him were splashed with blood in three steps.
One step, two steps, three steps. Feng Shuang could no longer avoid it, he was forced into a dead corner by Yang Aruo, with his back against the tent, when he saw the dead corpses all over the ground, he immediately peed his pants in fright, and in an instant, his crotch formed ice, which made him feel painful.
"Five hundred! Kill him, I'll go out for five hundred! Feng Shuang shouted in despair.
Now those hesitant soldiers finally gave up the last trace of fear, everyone has become a bloodthirsty beast, five hundred times, as long as you kill one person, you don't have to worry about the rest of your life, there is nothing to hesitate about, just a bad life, you can become a master if you win.
One man fell, and two more rushed up, and ten fell, and twenty more rushed up. Yang Aruo fought to almost no strength, and finally after he killed thirty people, he escaped into the river next to the camp, the cold weather did not come long enough, and the ice on the river was very unstable, which suddenly made a group of pursuers stop their steps, and watched Yang Aruo escape.
Three days later, the defending general was furious and sent 1,000 soldiers to search for Yang Aruo in Jiuquan County.
"Meilian, I just need to rest with my sister for the night and leave tomorrow morning." At the door of Chen Meilian's house at the end of the county, Yang Aruo had a sad face, and was already ready to escape into the mountains and forests with Qiaoqiao, but after only one day, Qiaoqiao launched a high fever, and he had no choice but to turn back to Jiuquan County, and now the only one who can be trusted is the widow Chen Meilian, but this woman seems to have been frightened, and she refuses to open the door.
In desperation, Yang Aruo could only hide in the firewood room of Chen Meilian's house with Qiaoqiao, hoping that there would be a place to shelter from the wind and snow, so that the girl behind her could have a better time.
"Brother Yang, don't pay attention to me, you run away, I look more like a ghost than a human, and I won't live long." Qiaoqiao's face was ruined, and she was already desperate for survival.
"Don't say stupid things, I will take you wherever I go, and I will find you a good husband in the future." After Yang Aruo finished speaking, he looked at Qiaoqiao distressedly.
Qiaoqiao seemed to be a little confused, and muttered: "Qiaoqiao has become so ugly, who will want me, Brother Yang, don't comfort me." ”
"I want it! Qiaoqiao no one will marry, I will marry you, you take care of your illness, and we will get married. Yang Aruo said.
Qiaoqiao was stunned and said, "But Qiaoqiao is not beautiful, this is ......"
"Am I the one who looks at appearances? Qiaoqiao is the most beautiful in my heart, no one can compare, I am going to marry you home, my father said, to marry a wife, you have to marry a virtuous person, Qiaoqiao is your virtuous I know best, so even if you oppose me, I will marry you. ”
"Really?" Qiaoqiao's face suddenly flashed with a look, she had waited too long for this wish.
"The two of them are hiding in the firewood room, and the little woman will never dare to deceive the military masters."
As Chen Meilian shouted, Yang Aruo was startled, and immediately tied Qiaoqiao to his back again, then pulled out the ring knife on his waist, kicked down the wooden door of the firewood room and rushed out.
A group of soldiers have not yet organized the encirclement network, so they are all in a hurry, and now everyone knows that this fifteen-year-old boy is a fierce man, and no one dares to move forward, just watching Yang Aruo gradually flee away, suddenly someone reacted and shouted: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”
Yang Aruo was very sad in her heart, Chen Meilian not only didn't help herself, but also contacted the officers and soldiers to arrest her, and the warmth of human nature made his heart colder than this wind and snow.
"Brother Yang, Qiaoqiao likes you very much, do you know?" A Qiaoqiao voice suddenly came from his back, which made Yang Aruo's heart warm again.
"Hmm." Nodding, Yang Aruo didn't know how to express the emotions in his heart, in the past, he may only think that Qiaoqiao behind him was a sister, but at this moment this girl is already all of his own.
"Qiaoqiao really likes you."
"Hmm."
"I really like you."
"Hmm."
"I like you so much."
"Hmm."
"Like you."
"Hmm."
Suddenly, Qiaoqiao's voice stopped? Yang Aruo was startled, and quickly untied the rope and put down Qiaoqiao. At this time, I found out that Qiaoqiao's vest was stuck with a sharp arrow, and the blood that flowed out had already frozen.
"Does Brother Yang also like Qiaoqiao?" Qiaoqiao grabbed Yang Aruo's hand that was about to stop the bleeding.
Yang Aruo nodded fiercely, he suddenly felt something stuck in his throat, making him completely unable to speak.
"Qiaoqiao is going to be Brother Yang's bride, isn't it?"
Yang Aruo nodded again, but suddenly found that his eyes were blurry, he couldn't even see Qiaoqiao's beautiful face, he didn't want to do this, but one hand wrapped around Qiaoqiao's shoulder, the other hand covered the wound, he no longer had a third hand to wipe his tears, so he could only let the tears blur his vision, cold cheeks, but he couldn't say a word.
"Husband......
Qiaoqiao suddenly read out two words inexplicably, and his face even became a little ruddy because of this, and in an instant, everything began to gradually get colder, and Yang Aruo only felt that the person in his arms was losing his temperature, and slowly, a little bit stiffened.
The smile of happiness remained on Qiaoqiao's face forever, as she took her last breath; And the incomparable sadness also remained on Yang Aruo's face forever, when he buried Qiaoqiao.
The sky gradually darkened, the wind swept countless snow flakes into the air, Yang Aruo didn't feel the cold, he just stood in front of Qiaoqiao's grave in a daze, his heart kept flashing the bits and pieces of those past days, Qiaoqiao's laughter, Qiaoqiao's crying, Qiaoqiao's joy, Qiaoqiao's sadness......
Today, these have become a pile of loess.
Those memories of Qiaoqiao are so clear, and even every detail can be recalled, it turns out that what I care about most is actually this girl.
Why do people always find out what is most important after they have lost? Yang Aruo kept asking himself this question in the days that followed.
"The world is impermanent, the moon is full and lacking, people are separated, little brother, why are you so persistent?" It was an old Taoist who spoke, and there was a Taoist boy beside him.
Yang Aruo suddenly touched his ring head knife vigilantly, and then looked at the pair of masters and apprentices in front of him coldly.
Lao Dao glanced at the ring-headed knife, just smiled shallowly, and then took a step forward, and in an instant, a powerful momentum swept out, making Yang Aruo immediately lose all the ability to act, and in an instant, his ring-headed knife was held by Lao Dao in his hand.
"Good knives!" After the old Tao finished commenting, he flipped his hand and immediately inserted it back into the original scabbard, making a crisp sound.
Yang Aruo knew that if he met a master, if the other party wanted to kill him, it would be a matter of one or two moves, and then he looked at Qiaoqiao's grave at his feet, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he could die on Qiaoqiao's side, which may be the best result.
Syllable! A crunch was heard.
Yang Aruo was slapped on the back of the head by Lao Dao, and then he heard the other party scolding: "You want to seek death at such a young age, you unlucky child, come on, come on, go eat something with Lao Dao first, and warm up your body first." ”
Yang Aruo didn't know what was wrong, what the old Taoist said, he really listened to something, sitting next to a fire at the moment, only to find out that this pair of Taoist masters and apprentices came to collect medicine, at this time the heavy snow closed the mountain, and some medicinal materials were indeed more suitable to pick at this time.
"I know all about you, do you really want revenge now?" The old man on the other side of the fire suddenly muttered.
Yang Aruo's whole body immediately tensed, the word revenge has basically become the whole of his life, as soon as he thought of the old martial arts cultivation in front of him, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Please old gentleman teach me martial arts, as long as I can take revenge, I am willing to do anything." ”
Lao Dao didn't answer directly, but looked at Yang Aruo deeply, and then said with a smile: "You are so young, the foundation of kung fu is very solid, but my ability to teach people at will not be at will, how, do you still want to take revenge, if you really go, you may be able to fight together, can you think clearly?" ”
Yang Aruo nodded resolutely and said, "I don't care about life and death!" ”
Syllable! As soon as he finished speaking, he received another blow on the back of the head.
After beating Yang Aruo, Lao Dao sighed and said: "Human life is very precious, and you can't come back when you die, it's not a good thing for you to say these things at a young age." After speaking, he glanced at Yang Aruo meaningfully, and then continued: "I'll think of a way for you, if you want to take revenge, why don't you accompany Lao Dao and me to travel for a while, are you willing?" ”
Yang Aruo has nothing, as long as he can take revenge, as he said, he is willing to do anything, not to mention just going on a trip, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
Lao Dao then continued: "This trip will take five or six hundred miles, and the round trip is more than a thousand miles, are you still willing?" ”
Yang Aruo was a little hesitant, he had walked so far, he had basically left Jiuquan County far away, but he thought that as long as he had the opportunity, he didn't want to let it go, could this old way be ready to cultivate for himself, if he could learn the kind of skills he had just met, it would not be difficult to take revenge, so he nodded again.
Along the way, the two communicated from time to time, but it was not the martial arts that Yang Aruo hoped for, all of them were some Taoist views on nature, life, and the world, from heaven and earth to reason, to food, clothing, housing and transportation, anyway, there was no trace of martial arts cultivation.
After more than a month, they finally came to a land where the Qiang people gathered, and the old Tao seemed to be very popular here, and the Qiang children were all respectful and courteous, and even occasionally at night, Yang Aruo could see many Qiang women burrowing into the old Dao's tent, and then he saw the poor Taoist boy kicked out.
is not respectful to the old, this is the definition that Yang Aruo gave to the old way.
After living in the territory of the Qiang tribe for three days, Lao Dao seemed to have enjoyed enough, so he invited Yang Aruo to his side, and said slowly: "I will help you borrow a thousand troops from the patriarch of the Qiang people, and there are 1,000 strong cavalry, not to mention the unfilial son of the Feng family, you just want to level Jiuquan without any problem, how about it?" Do you want revenge now? ”
Yang Aruo was overjoyed, and immediately got up and hugged his fists and said: "The kid thanks the old gentleman for his great kindness, and when I get revenge, I will definitely serve the old gentleman in the future." ”
Soon, a thousand cavalry began to set off to return to Jiuquan, and Yang Aruo's riding skills were not weak, so the group traveled hundreds of miles a day, and returned to Jiuquan County again in a few days. By the time the county commander found out that a large number of Qiang cavalry had rushed into his official office, he was already completely frightened, and he didn't know what was going on until he saw Yang Aruo's figure.
"This matter has nothing to do with me, if you want to find it, go to find that Feng Shuang, today he is getting married, if you want to take revenge, go to the end of the county, he is holding a banquet there." After the county commander finished speaking, his back was already sweating profusely, even on such a cold winter day.
Yang Aruo has always been chivalrous and will never implicate the innocent, so he kicked the county commander and fainted, and he began to look for the end of the county with a thousand cavalry.
That Feng Shuang's wedding banquet was very luxurious, and almost everyone in the county was invited to attend, so he didn't find that the area around the banquet venue was surrounded by a large number of cavalry.
When the bride came out to thank her, Yang Aruo shouted, rushed into the banquet hall, and kicked the low seat of the main seat over, and by the way, Feng Shuang, who was about to escape, stepped under her feet, and the bride wearing a red hijab was shocked inexplicably, looking at Yang Aruo's cold eyes could only tremble.
"Stay under the strong sword, even if Feng Shuang is no longer there, he has also fed our family, if you cut it down with a knife, how will our family members live?" When Yang Aruo lifted his ring-head knife and was about to cut off Feng Shuang's head, suddenly a group of women and children rushed to his side, and then knelt down in unison, and one of the elderly women cried and begged for mercy.
Yang Aruo glanced at the audience coldly, and found that there were not only women kneeling, but also many old people and children, all of whom were Feng Shuang's family.
Feng Shuang didn't seem to be too scared after seeing Yang Aruo this time, and when he saw his family rushing out, he just resigned himself to his fate and said: "If you want to kill, kill me, do you know that now I am a waste, my crotch in the barracks froze that day, but after you escaped, those military masters poured their anger on me, they ...... They pulled those icing straight from my crotch, so ...... Hehe. ”
Looking at Feng Shuang's bleak smile, and then glancing at the women and children who knelt on the ground, Yang Aruo gritted his teeth, and the anger in his heart rose again, and the ring knife in his hand slashed again, and suddenly, the red hijab of the bride who knelt down next to him fell, revealing a beautiful face, which was the widow Chen Meilian.
Yang Aruo was stunned at first, then laughed out loud in an instant, kicked Feng Shuang out three or four steps away, and then put the knife into the sheath, and then said coldly: "I originally wanted to kill you, but Feng Gongzi has married a ruthless and unrighteous woman, which is pitiful enough, you can do it in the future." ”
Leaving Jiuquan County, Yang Aruo gave away those Qiang cavalry with a big gift, his face was joyless and carefree, and he didn't plan to ride a horse again, just one person, one knife and one horse, walking at will, after walking for a while, he suddenly felt something strange in his chest, reached out and touched it, and actually found the money bag that Qiaoqiao gave him before, the purse embroidered with mandarin ducks was taken out from his chest and was still very warm, smiled sadly, and untied the rope on the purse, which was indeed filled with a lot of five baht coins, and at the bottom of the money bag, there was also a small purse, opened again, There was a bundle of dark hair neatly tied inside, so fifteen-year-old Yang Aruo howled and cried.
"The world is impermanent, the moon is full, people are separated, little brother, your road has just begun, why don't you forget the past and start all over again?" The old Taoist priest took the Taoist boy and reappeared in front of him.
Yang Aruo wiped a handful of tears and snot, and asked blankly: "I let those enemies go, will Qiaoqiao be resentful of the spirit of the sky?" ”
Lao Dao stroked his beard and smiled: "What did that Qiaoqiao girl care about besides you?" If she knew, she wouldn't want you to kill again. ”
Yang Aruo was stunned, then nodded, and then took the mandarin duck purse into his arms again, and then silently looked at the sky, and his heart was suddenly full of warmth.
At this time, Lao Dao took a roll of bamboo slips from Dao Tong's hand, and then handed it to Yang Aruo, and then continued: "There is a volume of martial arts here, you can take it to practice." ”
Yang Aruo took it blankly, and said suspiciously: "The old gentleman treated me like this, why?" ”
Lao Dao frowned slightly, and sighed: "This world is about to be in chaos, it is the time for my generation to cheer up, there are still many good people like Qiaoqiao, and they need people like you to rescue, Lao Dao feels that his strength is limited, of course, he needs to find a few more helpers to succeed, hehe, Lao Dao, I am actually using you, are you unhappy?" ”
Yang Aruo nodded, shook his head violently in an instant, bowed, and said: "The old gentleman has taught him a good lesson, Yang Aruo knows what to do in the future, and I thank the old gentleman again for his help." ”
After speaking, Yang Aruo knelt down, and when he raised his head again, he found that the old Taoist and Taoist were already gone, in addition to the martial arts scroll in his hand, there was also a grimace mask on the ground in front of him, looking at this mask, Yang Aruo smiled bitterly, speaking of which, in fact, the culprit was his own appearance, so he didn't bother, picked up the mask and put it on his face, and immediately turned into a fierce ghost.
"By the way, it's really confusing to forget to ask the benefactor's name." Yang Aruo suddenly screamed, but he was helpless.
