A knife in love

Chapter 2617
Wang Xiaoyu walked up to Qi Jiu and saw Qi Jiu was talking to Guan Chang in a low voice, so she didn't bother the two of them, and looked at the big bamboo basket that Qi Jiu had uncovered the gray cloth.I saw many stick-shaped things in the bamboo basket, each about a foot long and as thick as a thumb.Wang Xiaoyu was stunned, and looked carefully again, only to realize that the things in the bamboo basket turned out to be the fireworks used by the common people to set off during the New Year and festivals. Suspicious clouds arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but said to Qi Jiu: "Hey! , there is still a long time before the Chinese New Year, what are you doing with these fireworks?"

After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, before Qi Jiu could answer, he bent down and picked it up in the big bamboo basket.When she found a round firework that was the size of a palm, she couldn't help being startled, and then she stood up straight, shook the round firework in her hand, and said with a smile: "There is even a field mouse! This thing is so fun." Every year before the New Year's Eve, I have to prepare a lot in Wangjiazhuang."

Qi Jiu didn't expect that Wang Xiaoyu could recognize fireworks, so he was startled, turned his head to look at the big bamboo basket, and then said to Wang Xiaoyu: "Miss Wang, do you know all the fireworks in the bamboo basket?"

Wang Xiaoyu played with the fireworks in his hand and said with a smile: "Of course! I like to set off fireworks since I was a child. Every year in the first lunar month, I would buy a lot of fireworks. On the eve of the New Year's Eve, I would put the children in Wangjiazhuang Get together with the boys, let's set off fireworks together, don't mention how happy it is."

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, he raised the fireworks in his hand to Qi Jiu, and then said: "Did you see this guy? It's called a ground mouse. After lighting the fuse, it will neither explode nor fly. It explodes in the air, but spins around on the ground while releasing sparks, burrowing around like a mouse. That's why it got the nickname of "ground mouse". I heard He Erguizi from the old shop of He's However, it is said that during the Song Dynasty, on the first lunar month of one year, the emperor held a large banquet in the palace to celebrate the first day, and specially invited the empress dowager to have a drink together. During the banquet, the eunuchs set off field mice to cheer up the emperor and empress dowager. Unexpectedly, there was a field mouse running around in a whirl, and finally got under the chair where the Empress Dowager was sitting with a "swoosh". Jing'er? If it wasn't for the maids and eunuchs around her, she would have jumped out of her chair in fright. In addition to being frightened, she didn't care about maintaining her dignity in front of everyone, and walked away cursing, even for several days. It didn't give the emperor a good face. In the end, the emperor and the empress went to the empress dowager to plead guilty, and the reconciliation was as good as before."

Guan Chang and the two Jinyi guards were a little surprised when Wang Xiaoyu talked about the origin of the field mouse, and they couldn't help but look at each other.Although Qi Jiu often saw people setting off fireworks, he didn't know the origin of the fireworks. After listening to Wang Xiaoyu, he couldn't help nodding, and said: "Miss Wang is really knowledgeable, listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books. "

Wang Xiaoyu spat at Qi Jiu, put on a straight face on purpose, and said angrily, "What kind of knowledge is this? Are you making fun of me on purpose?"

Qi Jiu was startled, waved his hands wildly, and said in his mouth: "No, no, how dare you make fun of the girl? Every sentence is the truth, and every word comes from the heart!"

Seeing Qi Jiu's timid look in front of Wang Xiaoyu, Guan Chang secretly laughed.It was only because Qi Jiu was afraid of embarrassment that he suppressed his smile.I saw Wang Xiaoyu rummaged through the big bamboo basket again, took out a firework that was about a foot long, and said to Qi Jiu, "Did you see this guy? It's called a flower tube. After lighting the fuse, put it in the tube." The gunpowder pellets flew into the air, up to four or five feet high, and then exploded in the air, like a flower blooming in the sky, which is very spectacular."

While talking, Wang Xiaoyu waved the flower tube in his hand, and then said: "The price of this thing is not cheap, at least 100 yuan per piece. Every year in the first month, I ask Uncle Wang... Bah bah, I want Morita Shinobu The thief bought more than [-] and set them off in the village."

After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he accidentally saw another big bamboo basket, and was taken aback, then walked to the side of the big bamboo basket, bent down and lifted off a piece of black cloth covering the big bamboo basket.When she saw clearly what was in the basket, she was startled for a moment, then clapped her hands together, almost jumped up, and shouted happily: "Ah! You even got three waves soaring into the sky!"

While talking, Wang Xiaoyu leaned over and took out a cylinder about two feet long from the basket, held it in his hand and looked at it, then pinched a sword formula with his left hand, turned the wrist of his right hand, and used the cylinder as a long sword, Using the "Iron Lock Hengjiang" move in the Hengshan School's sword technique, he stabbed directly at Qi Jiu's left rib.

This move went very quickly, but with Qi Jiu's martial arts, it is not difficult to avoid the cylinder that Wang Xiaoyu stabbed at.But he knew that Wang Xiaoyu had no malicious intentions, and he had offended Wang Xiaoyu before, so he didn't know how to calm down Wang Xiaoyu.Seeing the cylinder stabbing at him, Qi Jiu was slightly taken aback, but did not dodge.There was only a light "poof", and the cylinder had already pierced his left rib.

Wang Xiaoyu stabbed Qi Jiu with a cylinder, but suddenly wanted to make a joke with Qi Jiu, and didn't mean to hurt Qi Jiu at all.Moreover, she knew that Qi Jiu's martial arts were far superior to hers, and she could dodge it with a single flash, so she used all her strength when she shot.It's just that she never expected that Qi Jiu didn't dodge at all, and the cylinder in his hand stabbed Qi Jiu firmly.Wang Xiaoyu was taken aback. Seeing that Qi Jiu suddenly had a painful expression on his face, but this expression was fleeting. Obviously, Qi Jiu forcibly held back the pain.Wang Xiaoyu was quite sorry in her heart, and hastily retracted the cylinder, and said in an embarrassing manner, "You, why don't you avoid it?"

Qi Jiu was stabbed in the left rib by the cylinder. Although he was not injured, it was still very painful.Hearing Wang Xiaoyu's question, he forced a smile, and said, "I originally planned to dodge, but Miss Wang's move was as fast as lightning, and when I woke up, it was already too late."

Wang Xiaoyu was overjoyed when Qi Jiu praised her martial arts, but she didn't want Qi Jiu to think that she was getting carried away, so she deliberately put on a straight face, glared at Qi Jiu, and said with a sneer: "So, you blame me When you make a move, you only want to be fierce and swift, but you don't leave any stamina. If you fight against a sword master, you will be at a disadvantage?!"

Qi Jiu was startled, hurriedly waved his hands, and said in his mouth: "I absolutely don't have such intentions. It's really because I'm fighting... It's really because Miss Wang's sword is so exquisite that I was caught off guard, so I was stabbed by Miss Wang." middle."

Qi Jiu originally wanted to say, "It was because of my poor martial arts that I was stabbed by Miss Wang", but when I was about to say these words, I suddenly remembered that if I said this, I would seem to have missed my hand, and it was not because of Wang Xiaoyu's martial arts. , but because of his own weak martial arts, Wang Xiaoyu must be angry when he heard it, so he was quick to wit in an emergency and changed a sentence abruptly.Seeing Wang Xiaoyu's smug smile after listening to it, Qi Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying "it's dangerous" in his heart, thinking to himself that he must be very careful when talking to Miss Wang in the future.
