Under the sky

Chapter 46 Snowy Night Visitor
Kunlun, winter, December, 88

In the depth of winter, the chores in Raodao Village have become much less frequent.The corner of Lao Hong's house was crushed by snow. Fortunately, no one was injured. Li Jingfeng accompanied Lao Hong up the mountain to cut firewood and help him patch it up. In the afternoon, he went to help Bai Niu bake pancakes.Every time he went back to Bai Niu's house, Qi Wei would always look at him with narrow eyes that were out of proportion to his fat body, which made Li Jingfeng feel uncomfortable.

On the day of the winter solstice, while making dumplings in the village, Li Jingfeng sat next to Rao Daozi and made dumplings together. Qiwei suddenly stood up, walked to him, and patted his shoulder with a fat palm: "Young man is used to living here, when are you going to join us?" "

Li Jingfeng could only smile bitterly.

He did gradually get used to the life in the cottage. After the battle with the Sand Ghost, Rao Dao Ge took off his shackles and allowed him to move freely in the cottage. However, no matter whether he came in or out, there were people watching him at any time. When he got closer to the gate of the cottage, someone came up to question him.

He was not a freeloader, and he couldn't live in a cottage without doing any work and relying on others to support him. So every morning after having dinner at Lao Hong's house, he would look for work in the cottage. Here he would chop firewood. After splitting a few bundles, he moved bricks and bulldozed earth to repair the wall.The kitchen was his specialty. When he was working as a waiter at the Fuju Hotel, he asked Lao Zhang for advice. He heard Shen Yuqing say that Lao Zhang was the "needle" on the night list, and then he realized that this man who always liked to contradict the shopkeeper Being a cook is not easy.

When I think of the shopkeeper, I think of the swordsman who broke into Fuju Pavilion that day and killed people, and also thinks of Shen Weichen who saved his life from the sword.It had only been a few months since the Tang clan separated. At that time, I never imagined that I would end up in a den of thieves. Things in the world are really unpredictable.

In addition to these busy things, there are two other things that are also his daily life.One is to take care of the crazy old man in the cell, clean him, remove the stick from his mouth, and feed him twice in the morning and evening.It was Lao Hong's job to take care of the mad man, but Lao Hong was a rough man and found it difficult to do fine work and complained constantly, so Li Jingfeng simply took over.

The second thing was that he started to practice the skills with Rao Daozi.

This starts with the ambush of the Sand Ghost.Since Rao Daobaozi was unwilling to let him out of the stronghold, Li Jingfeng wanted to regain his original intention, but Rao Changsheng refused.

"You go up the mountain to eat meat and go down the mountain to rob. All your father does is rough stuff. What do you do with such a beautiful sword?" Rao Dao said, "After the winter, I will go down the mountain to help you make a good sword. This is much more practical.”

"I just want it to be beautiful! He doesn't know martial arts, so what is he doing with a sword?"

Rao Daozi said: "That was given to him."

"This is also a gift from my father! He is not from our village, and even if he is in the future, he was not before!" Rao Changsheng said angrily, "The rules in the village are that those who robbed belong to the public family, sit on the ground and divide the spoils! Dad took this sword If you give it to me, it’s mine. If he wants it, okay, take it back! Let him have a fight with me, and if he wins, I’ll pay him back!”

"He doesn't know martial arts. If you don't know martial arts, don't use force. This is the rule." Rao Dao said, "How can he beat you?"

"Don't say he doesn't know martial arts, he has already killed two people!" Rao Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "I have never killed anyone!"

He used the rules in the village to push against his father. The rules in the village were set by a knife. It was hard to break the rules on his own, so he had to ask Li Jingfeng to think of other demands.

"You won't let me go, and you won't take the sword back." Li Jingfeng shook his head and said, "I have no other wishes. Let me have a fight with him, and if I win, give me the sword back."

Rao Dao looked at Li Jingfeng and suddenly kicked his foot, causing Li Jingfeng to fall to the ground.

"With your abilities, you will receive a beating from my son for nothing." Rao Daozi said.

Li Jingfeng was not angry and stood up and said, "Even if I get beaten, I will get my sword back!"

"I really don't want to give up." Rao Daozi sighed, "Young man is just a little stubborn. It doesn't matter, I will teach you some self-defense skills, and I won't have to take care of you when I take you out to fight famine." He thought for a while and said , "You don't need to be a disciple for this little effort, I should return the favor to you."

Rao flipped the knife over and over, refusing to die to get him to join the gang, but if he learned martial arts, he would be more likely to escape. Besides, if he wanted to get back his original intention, he would inevitably have to compete with Rao Changsheng. At this moment, Li Jingfeng did not need to consider Rao Changsheng. Is the skill of the knife handle excellent? He hurriedly said: "Thank you, village master!"

Rao Daobaozi set the date of the competition on New Year's Eve, with a few months left, saying that he wanted Li Jingfeng to learn more and have a better chance of winning.But later, I heard from Bai Niu that there was nothing to do in the village, so there had to be something lively on New Year's Eve. Rao Daobaozi planned to use the martial arts competition as a New Year's Eve celebration, and the two of them had a fight on the stage to keep everyone entertained.Li Jingfeng thought to himself, are you treating me like a monkey?
Even so, Li Jingfeng also knew that the village was lonely.After the misunderstanding was resolved, he was grateful to Rao Daobaozi for saving his life. In addition, after spending more than three months together, he deeply felt the human touch in the village. If he successfully regained his original intention, it would not be bad if he could make everyone in the village happy for a while during the Chinese New Year.

In this way, practicing the sword style with Rao Dao has become his daily homework.

"The leader of the village uses a sword, so why does Changsheng use a sword?" Li Jingfeng asked, "His swordsmanship also belongs to the leader of the village?"

Rao Knife Handle squatted in front of the wooden stake for practicing, scratched the felt hat on his head, and said: "I know how to sword, but my sword skills are stronger, but my son loves to use swords."

Li Jingfeng was very surprised and asked: "Why?"

Rao raised his head with the knife handle, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and sighed: "He thinks it looks good to use a sword." He added, "Actually, when you are a horse thief, weapons such as knives, axes, guns, and meteor hammers are more practical. The sword is used to chop and chop on the horse." Unfortunately, it’s not a good weapon, that kid just likes good-looking things, so he just makes them fake.”

Indeed, even in this poor village, Rao Changsheng did not forget to dress himself neatly and neatly.He has a purple-black fur shawl, with less than half of the hair removed and the color faded, but he always wears it during the day, which makes him look different from other horse thieves wearing coarse cotton-padded jackets, like a gangster in a cottage. Master.Even the worn out soles of his snow boots were repaired and he wiped them every day.

The handle of the knife was very strict. In the first few days of martial arts training, Li Jingfeng's whole body was sore from the exercises such as muscle relaxation, horse binding, leg press, and weight lifting. "Practicing boxing without practicing kung fu will lead to nothing." Rao Daobaozi said, "The basis of kung fu is strength, which is divided into internal and external strength. External kung fu depends on physical strength. Strength and body shape will lose. If everyone's routines are averagely practiced, you will lose. Now. Don’t look at Bai Niu’s father being fat, he has a flexible figure. This is the benefit of practicing your body. You must have basic skills at all times, it is the foundation, and you cannot achieve it in three to five years. Your tendons are growing well, and you have done it before Do you have a lot of menial jobs?"

Li Jingfeng replied: "My parents passed away early and they did a lot of hard work."

Rao Dao nodded: "Very good."

Li Jingfeng never thought that when he started to learn martial arts, he would practice martial arts with a horse thief in a village. He thought that after a while, he couldn't say that he had never learned martial arts.

One day, Rao Daozi asked him: "Are you literate?"

Li Jingfeng nodded and said, "My parents taught me when I was a child."

Rao Daozi smiled and said: "I see that your background is not bad, your name is nice, your parents are both literate, and you don't look like you come from a poor family. Well, let's not talk about this, the village is full of rough guys, not much literate, and there are no children. Teach, teach them how to read tomorrow."

Li Jingfeng said hurriedly: "No, I don't know anything and I can't teach."

Rao Daozi said: "I didn't ask you to teach, so I asked you to teach literacy. Just knowing the characters is enough. If you want to teach, where can I get the Four Books and Five Classics from the village to teach you?"

Li Jingfeng couldn't help but refuse, but he had no choice but to persist, so he reluctantly agreed and asked again: "Are there any books in the village?"

Rao Dao took out a book from his arms. Li Jingfeng took it and looked at it. It was "Arhat Boxing Manual" and said in surprise: "Do you use this to teach?"

Rao Dao rolled his eyes and said, "That's it."

Li Jingfeng said: "I also have a copy of "Jiuzhou Anecdotes"..." Rao interrupted him with a knife and said: "You can just read your book by yourself. Don't show it to them, and don't mention it to them, especially Chang Sheng and Bai Niu." After a while, he added, "They are young and energetic, they can't be calm, and if they are ambitious, they will bring trouble to the village."

Li Jingfeng didn't understand for a moment. Seeing his hesitation, Rao Knife Handle said, "Teach me and learn by the way. Don't underestimate Luohan Quan. This is authentic Shaolin Kungfu."

In fact, although Luohan Quan comes from Shaolin, it is a basic kung fu that most monks and laymen have learned.Although it is basic, it is practical. Disciples who leave Shaolin spread their wings and teach disciples, often starting from this set of boxing techniques. It is the most widely spread Shaolin martial arts among the nine major schools.These disciples added their own opinions and creativity in the teaching process, so they were different. There were ten styles of Luohan Quan in ten places.

Li Jingfeng didn't know these relationships. This was his first martial arts book. He went back to his room to read it carefully at night.After practicing the moves the next day, I went under the greenhouse and saw a dozen children, ranging from seven to seventeen or eighteen years old. Even Bai Niu and Rao Changsheng were among them.

Seeing him coming, Bai Niu hurried up to meet him and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you." Rao Changsheng was not angry and said coldly: "What's the use of learning this thing? We are horse thieves, why should we still be pawns?" Master?"

"It's always good to learn more. Being literate is better than being illiterate." Li Jingfeng said.

Rao Changsheng glared at him with a very evil expression.Bai Niu pulled Rao Changsheng and said, "Don't be so angry. Xiao Li is a teacher, so you must be polite."

"What a shame!" Rao Changsheng's eyes widened angrily, "He's just a prisoner! Dad doesn't know what he's thinking, letting him wander around in the stronghold!"

When Li Jingfeng saw Rao Changsheng losing his temper, he ignored him, took out the "Arhat Boxing Manual" and said, "Let's learn the characters."

Rao Changsheng sneered and said, ""Arhat Boxing Book"? Dad has already taught it to you, but you still read this thing!"

Li Jingfeng asked: "You are familiar with it, so you should recognize all the characters on it?"

Rao Changsheng blushed and cursed: "Are you mocking me?"

Li Jingfeng looked at his appearance and knew that he only knew moves, and said: "Just ask. The leader of the village asked me to teach him how to read. If you don't like me, don't lose your temper." Bai Niu followed suit, and Rao Changsheng calmed down. Still looking disdainful.Li Jingfeng knew that he was very hostile to him. Although he didn't know the reason, he didn't care.

In this way, Li Jingfeng taught the people in the village how to read. He unknowingly memorized the "Arhat Boxing Manual" and practiced it from time to time.As for Rao Dao's handle, apart from practicing the handle, he didn't teach him any other skills after that.

On the day of the winter solstice, everyone gathers together to make dumplings.Life in Raodaozhai was poor and it was rare to eat dumplings. More than 300 people gathered around the greenhouse. Lao Hong made a big wok. Bai Niu happily filled two bowls, brought one bowl to her father to pray for power, and brought another bowl. To Li Jingfeng.Li Jingfeng took it, and Bai Niu asked: "You are celebrating the festival outside, is it so lively?"

"My parents died young, so I celebrate the festival alone." Li Jingfeng said with a smile, "It has never been so lively."

"Then treat this as your own home from now on, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese New Year..." Bai Niu pinched the corners of her clothes and whispered, "There will always be someone to accompany you..." She said, with two blushes on her white face. , but Li Jingfeng didn't notice and asked: "Can you serve me another bowl of dumplings?"

Bai Niu said: "You can eat as much as you want!" She helped Li Jingfeng fill a large bowl.Li Jingfeng frowned, thinking that this was too much, and said, "I'll serve it to the old man so that he can also celebrate." Bai Niu pouted and asked, "Why do you care about that old madman? Stay here in the excitement. Isn't it bad?" The crazy old man didn't know his name, and people in the village called him "Old Madman."She added: "How about I go with you?"

Li Jingfeng shook his head and said, "No, you can join in the fun with everyone." After saying that, he walked towards the cell with the dumplings in hand.Seeing that he left without any nostalgia, Bai Niu couldn't help pouting, feeling very disappointed.

Li Jingfeng arrived at the cell. As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by flies and a stench.Although he cleans up every day, the old man is crazy and defecates everywhere.He had long been accustomed to the smell. He walked to the old man and knelt down, untied the restraints in his mouth, and advised: "Old man, eat some." The madman just looked at him, his eyes widened, and after a while he opened his mouth tremblingly. Open your mouth and let Li Jingfeng feed him.

Li Jingfeng felt pity, he was the only one in the village who was as helpless as himself.He looked around, thinking that the Chinese New Year would be coming in a few days, and the cell would have to be cleaned and tidied up so that the old man could have a good New Year.

The old man suddenly asked him: "Is today the winter solstice?"

He had taken care of the mad man for half a month, and this was the first time he heard him speak normally. Li Jingfeng was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Old man, are you okay? Yes, today is the winter solstice, let's eat dumplings!"

The old man looked at him, his eyes gradually blurred, and asked: "Where is Qiqi? Where has she gone?"

Li Jingfeng didn't know who he was talking about, but he guessed it was his relative, so he said: "She is eating dumplings in the house. Old man, you should eat some too." He fed the old man another mouthful.The old man shook his head and looked at his hand, only the fingers were missing. He seemed to be fascinated and remained silent for a long time.Li Jingfeng was afraid that he would get mad again, so he hurriedly asked: "Old man, what is your name? Do you have any family?"

"I...my surname is Gan, I live in Longnan...I have a nickname...call me...Ironmaking...Ironmaking..." As he was talking, he seemed to think of something and suddenly went crazy. He yelled: "What are you doing?! Xiao Ma! Ying'er!..." He was talking nonsense, shaking his hands, and then said, "My hands are gone, I will never blacksmith again! Qiqi! Qiqi! Qiqi!" Qi!" He opened his mouth and bit his finger.Li Jingfeng quickly dropped the bowl, grabbed his chin, stuffed the stick back into his mouth, and sighed.

Maybe he was lucky to be able to come to this cottage, at least there was someone to take care of him.What about yourself?Li Jingfeng thought to himself.After spending this time together, he knew that most of the people in the village were good people, just like an ordinary village.Coupled with the days of licking blood from the knife edge, no one knows who will die in the wilderness next time. The wife and children left behind can only rely on their brothers to take care of them. The affection between neighbors is far stronger than that in ordinary villages. It can be said that these more than 300 people People are true brothers whose blood is thicker than water.

But he also knew that the current calm was because they had robbed Sand Ghost's food and oil just last month. This winter was quiet, and Raodao Village would still have to rob houses after the new year.The villagers will not be massacred with a sword, but if the guard who uses the sword does not give in, it will inevitably lead to a massacre. Who will those looted villagers offend, giving up a year's harvest in vain?

Li Jingfeng sighed again, packed up the dumplings that fell on the floor, and planned to wash them and eat them. As soon as he walked to the water storage hut, he suddenly heard someone speaking, it was the voice of Bai Niu's father praying for power.

"Knife handle, you can't do this!"

"What's wrong?" Another voice said in a sharp voice, "Have you been hungry in the past few years? Have you starved to death?"

"Three years, five years, seven years, how long does it take? You don't kill people, you have a conscience, but every time you rob, you only scratch the oil and water but not the land. The cottages will still be poor, and in ten years we will still be horse thieves. There are many cottages Secret, can we hide for another ten or twenty years? One day the Iron Sword Silver Guard will come to our door, and everyone will die!"

"If you are found, move it. If you can't beat it, why can't you hide it?"

"Isn't it the same wherever you move?" Qiwei said, "Work vigorously for three years, buy good land and property, and the brothers will live a long life!"

"Am I not arranging the escape route for my brothers?" Rao Daozi said, "The sand is like a tower, there is no job that cannot be done."

"Where is the way out? This is a dream!" Qiwei said angrily, "Knife handle, you are moral, the case in Qifeng Village is still on our heads, why are you trying to get along with Sha Guihuo? It was a fluke last time, How many brothers’ wives will we have to watch next time become widowed?”

Li Jingfeng hid behind the house and listened to Rao Daobaozi being silent for a long time, thinking to himself: "What happened to the case in Qifeng Village? Could it be that Rao Daobaozi was wrongly accused?"

After a while, Rao Daozi said: "If you don't want to listen to me, let's break up the gang. Let the brothers who can leave go, and I will support the ones who can't."

"You can't afford it!" Qiwei said, "I'm afraid that my brothers' sacrifices will be in vain!"

Li Jingfeng heard Qiwei's voice fading away and guessed that he was heading towards the greenhouse, so he walked around to the other side, not wanting to bump into the handle of Rao's knife.Seeing him standing in the corner of the room, Rao Daobaozi asked, "Have you heard everything?"

Li Jingfeng nodded and said: "I didn't mean it, I just wanted to wash and eat these dumplings."

"You are so honest, you will suffer a lot in the world." Rao Daodao said, "From now on, I will just say I didn't hear whether I heard something or not."

Li Jingfeng asked: "What did you tell Mr. Qi? Mr. Qi... doesn't seem happy?"

Rao Dao said: "Follow me."

Li Jingfeng saw his serious expression and quickly followed him.The two walked out of the side door of the cottage. It was a place Li Jingfeng had never been to. Li Jingfeng thought to himself: "Is it possible that he wants to let me go?"

The handle of the knife led him around a corner, and he saw a large wasteland.

"Do you think we can open up wasteland here?"

"Opening up wasteland?" Li Jingfeng was very surprised, "The village leader doesn't want to be a horse bandit anymore?"

Rao Daozi looked at a large piece of wasteland in silence, and after a while he said: "When I first settled down here and took root, I fell in love with this piece of wasteland. I thought that if the brothers settled here, they would wait until they had enough money. After getting food, I opened up this land. When you were injured, I looked for medicine on you and thought you were a doctor. I thought there was still a lack of a doctor in the village, so I brought you back for this reason." He looked at the wasteland and said, "I still thought, there can't be no teaching in the village, otherwise what will happen to the children when they grow up? Will they continue to fight and kill, or will they remain ignorant for the rest of their lives? So I thought, why not go to the mountains to find a teacher? Sir, come up, hey..." As he said this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Since we want to open up wasteland, there is no need to grab it." Li Jingfeng said happily, "After the New Year and spring comes, we can work together to open up this land, right?"

"How can it be so simple? How many years will it take for this land to be cultivated?" Rao Dao said, "These brothers have long been accustomed to going out to plunder. They have no food and are drinking from the northwest wind?"

Li Jingfeng suddenly understood the reason for the dispute between Qi Wei and Rao Daobaozi.Every time he robbed, Rao's sword never looted everything. According to Qiwei's words, he never scraped the land.Gansu was originally a barren land, and what they robbed were small villages. With the little food they could only starve to death, it was even more difficult to have enough to make ends meet.

"Qiwei persuades me to do a few big ones, so that my brothers can feel at ease and come back to reclaim the wasteland." He looked at the fences erected outside the village and couldn't help but said, "I just want to tear down these fences and turn Raodao Village into Raojia Village. .”

"Why don't you surrender?" Li Jingfeng asked, "Won't Kongtong accept the surrender?"

"There are many brothers here who used to be Iron Sword Silver Guards. They committed crimes and were kicked out." Rao Daobaozi said, "If the Iron Sword Silver Guards fall into the trap, it will be a death penalty to recruit them."

Li Jingfeng was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Rao Daozi said: "Holding the Iron Sword in life and guarding the mountains and rivers in death. Even if they are driven out, the reputation of the Iron Sword Silver Guard cannot be ruined."

Li Jingfeng said again: "I think brothers are all good at it, why don't they protect the hospital as bodyguards? Didn't we bump into a few last time? Otherwise, leave Gansu and go south. My father also left Gansu and went to Qingcheng. Isn't it possible?" Isn’t it true that everyone has no shortage of bodyguards to protect the hospital?”

"If you can earn money to live, who is going to put your hand in the coffin? If you are not in poverty, who will be a coward and a bandit? I either want to be bald or I can't grow hair." Rao said with the knife, "Some Brothers may be able to leave Gansu to make a living elsewhere, but those brothers who have been in the Iron Sword and Silver Guards don’t even have the title of chivalry, so what else can they do?”

Li Jingfeng asked in surprise: "How come there is no chivalry certificate? Aren't they all disciples of the sect?"

Rao Daozi said: "Don't you know that if you become an Iron Sword Silver Guard, you will have to surrender your knighthood certificate?"

Li Jingfeng shook his head. This was the first time he had heard of this rule.

"There are more than [-] people in the village who have no reputation as heroes. They have no skills except a few tricks. They can't find a way out anywhere."

Li Jingfeng remained silent, but actually sympathized with this famous horse thief in Longnan and said, "You are a good person, but what you did is bad."

"Hmph, who has the final say between bad guys and good guys? You have the final say?" Rao Daozi sneered and said, "You can leave if you want. Once the land is cleared and the fence is demolished, you can go wherever you like. , now follow me back to the cottage." He said, lifting Li Jingfeng's collar as a joke, and the mother cat walked towards the cottage like a kitten in her mouth.

Li Jingfeng hurriedly shouted: "Put me down, I can walk on my own!" Rao Daozi laughed loudly and put him back on the ground.

Li Jingfeng asked again: "What's going on in Qifeng Village? This is the second time I've heard Master Qi mention it."

Rao Daozi said: "Don't ask so many questions, it's too bad."

He sent Li Jingfeng back to the door, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you know that your son doesn't like you?"

Li Jingfeng shrugged and nodded, noncommittal, and said with a knife-edge: "That kid is jealous of you, don't take it to heart." He patted Li Jingfeng on the shoulder and said, "He uses his father as a role model, but his father is not a good role model." After that, he walked away.

There was a heavy snowfall at the end of the twelfth lunar month, with the snow covering a foot thick. The reading class in the greenhouse was stopped, and Li Jingfeng stayed in the room to practice boxing.In three days' time it will be New Year's Eve, and he will have a sword duel with Rao Changsheng. In the past few days, he has been practicing the Luohan Quan routine even harder. Although he knows that the chance of winning is slim, the original intention is very important to him, and he does not want to even have the slightest chance. Let it go.

That afternoon, when the wind and snow stopped, Li Jingfeng was practicing boxing when he suddenly heard a noise outside.He opened the door and looked around, and saw several horse thieves walking towards the front village. Li Jingfeng was very surprised. It was freezing cold, who could run out?Just as he was wondering, he saw Bai Niu also walking out and asked, "What happened?"

Bai Niu shook her head and said, "I don't know, I seem to have discovered an outsider."

Li Jingfeng was shocked: "Could it be that the Iron Sword Silver Guards discovered this?" He was actually worried about the safety of this cottage.

Bai Niu trembled: "Probably... no." She didn't know whether it was cold or fear, but she started to shiver.

Li Jingfeng asked her to go home and followed the horse thieves to the entrance of the village.Bai Niu pulled him and said, "Don't go. What should I do if there is danger?"

Li Jingfeng said: "If we are really discovered by the Iron Sword Silver Guards, this village is not safe from top to bottom, so we might as well go and have a look." Bai Niu heard what he said was reasonable and said, "I'll go with you!"

The two walked to the entrance of the cottage and saw a dozen people gathered outside the door, talking around a small snowdrift.Li Jingfeng stepped forward quickly, and then he saw clearly that the snowdrift was actually a person lying on the ground.There was a thick layer of snow piled up on this man's body, and he lay there for at least an hour. It was freezing cold, and he was afraid that he might have died long ago.The body was covered in thick snow, and not much of its clothes were revealed. It was impossible to tell its origin, and it was unclear whether it was from a copycat.

After a while, Rao Daozi came over and asked, "What's going on?"

The guarding horse thief said: "I don't know! It snowed heavily before noon and I couldn't see clearly. When it cleared up, I saw the body."

The old mangy man lowered his head and sniffed: "It smells of alcohol. Could it be that he got drunk and got lost in the mountains and froze to death in front of our house?"

Rao scolded with his knife: "Niang Le, our mountain is not a scenic spot and there is no one nearby. How did you get here?"

The old mangy man said: "It's hard to say, isn't there an old lunatic here?"

Rao spat on the handle of the knife and cursed: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, bad luck! Search him for any silver, peel off his clothes, drag them away and bury them!" He then ordered, "Don't let him be disgraceful, keep two pieces of underclothes." Give him the pants!”

Two horse thieves stepped forward and lifted the body. One of them reached out to touch it. His face changed and he shouted: "The knife handle is still alive!"

At this time, even Rao Daozi was surprised and cursed: "This thief is so deadly, can't he freeze to death? Bury him alive!"

Li Jingfeng was shocked and shouted: "Zhai Master!"

Rao Daozi laughed loudly: "You're kidding! Move in quickly, please help me!"

Qiwei frowned and advised: "Knife handle, this person's origin is unknown!"

Rao Daozi said: "The cell is still empty, and not everyone is so tough." He looked at Li Jingfeng.Li Jingfeng blushed and pretended not to hear.

The old mangy man asked: "The Chinese New Year is almost here, and I don't know whether this person is dead or alive. Whose family is allowed to have such bad luck?"

Rao touched his chin with the handle of the knife, pointed at Li Jingfeng and said, "You live alone, can you take care of him?"

Li Jingfeng said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'm not afraid of bad luck!"

Rao Daozi urged: "Why are you still standing there? Move into his room!"

Everyone quickly moved the man to Li Jingfeng's room. Li Jingfeng ordered him to put him on the bed. Bai Niu helped to close the doors and windows, lit a fire, and heated the kang.Li Jingfeng frowned and said, "He's all wet. We need to help him change his clothes."

When Bai Niu heard that she had to change clothes for the man, her cheeks turned red and she hurriedly said, "I'll bring you clothes!" and ran out the door.Li Jingfeng took off the man's shoes, socks, clothes, and felt hat, down to his underwear, and then covered him with two layers of blankets to keep him warm.

At this time, Li Jingfeng took a closer look at him, and saw that this man had a face with a Chinese character, cheekbones, square forehead, a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows that looked resolute. He was tall, estimated to be eight feet long, and his muscles were very strong.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. It was Bai Niu who brought clothes.Li Jingfeng handed the clothes that were full of alcohol smell to Bai Niu. Bai Niu looked over again and saw that the man was not awake yet, so she smiled at Li Jingfeng and said, "You will have company in the future, hee~"

After Bai Niu left, he brought the top medicine given by Zhu Menshang with a knife, and said: "This medicine is harmful to the body, but it can save the emergency. Don't let him take too much." Li Jingfeng rolled his eyes and said, "No trouble. Please tell me, this medicine belongs to me." Rao Daozi laughed heartily and said, "Let me know if you have anything else."

Li Jingfeng boiled a pot of water, warmed it up, took out an aphrodisiac and melted it. He walked to the bedside, lifted the man up, pried open his chin, poured the medicine in, and stroked his back to calm his breathing, and then Put him down.After working for a long time, Li Jingfeng saw nothing else, so he started to practice boxing. For more than an hour, he repeated a set of 36 Arhat Boxing several times until he was exhausted, and then he lay down on the table and took a nap. After a while, I heard soft snoring.

I'm so surprised that this guy actually fell asleep. Li Jingfeng smiled bitterly. Now there was another prisoner in the stronghold.But with an extra companion, maybe one person can plan the shortcomings, and the two can plan the strengths together, and they can escape from Raodao Village together.But then I thought about it, I would definitely not betray Rao Daozi, but if this person escaped, how would I know that he would not leak the secret?But it would be too unethical to leave him alone and run away alone. In this way, this man would be stumbling upon himself.

With a "whoosh", the man suddenly straightened up. Seeing him standing up, Li Jingfeng hurriedly said: "Don't get up, be careful of catching a cold!"

The man touched his clothes and found that only his underwear was left. He looked at Li Jingfeng and said in horror: "You... what did you do to me? Why did you take off my clothes?!"

Li Jingfeng was stunned for a moment. When he figured out what it meant, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He remembered that Zhu Menshang always called Xie Gubai's master and servant "Rabbit", but he never thought that he would be misunderstood one day.It's just that this man had a clear mind and was able to think in that direction, so he said: "You fell drunk at the gate of the village. It was the village owner who saved your life."

The man frowned and looked around: "Where is this?"

"Raodaozhai." Li Jingfeng replied.

"A famous horse bandit in Longnan?" the man asked in surprise.

"Yes." Li Jingfeng said, "You are their prisoner just like me."

"Prisoner?" The man squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"You can't leave this village in the future," Li Jingfeng said, "unless they are willing to let you go."

"My family has money, I will ask someone to redeem it."

"They don't want money." Li Jingfeng said, "But you can rest assured that the village leader is a good person."

"A good man will become a horse bandit?" The strong man showed disbelief and asked, "Did you just say that you were also a prisoner?"

Li Jingfeng nodded: "Yes."

The strong man said: "Let's find a way to escape together!"

This was a thought Li Jingfeng had just thought about. Now that the other party mentioned it, he didn't know how to answer it, so he had to say: "You rest for a while, and I'll cook something for you to eat."

Li Jingfeng asked Bai Niu for some noodles, made soup with mutton bones, and gave a bowl of noodles to the strong man.The strong man frowned and said, "Only gnocchi, no white noodles?"

Li Jingfeng said: "We can't eat such fine things in the village."

The strong man said: "You have a famous name as a swordsman and a horse thief, but you are so poor?"

Li Jingfeng said: "Even if you have a good name, you may not be rich."

The strong man thought for a while and said, "That's right." After saying this, Xilihulu ate the bowl of gnocchi.

Li Jingfeng then asked: "You haven't asked your name yet?"

The strong man cupped his hands and said, "The surname is Zhao, and the single name is Huan."

He jumped up from the bed, took off his clothes and put them on, and asked, "What should I do next?"

"I don't know either. You better take a rest." Li Jingfeng said, "Rao Daobaozi will ask you something. I should have asked you over there in the big shed. It's been snowing these days. I guess he will come over to see you. What did you say?" He thought about it for a while, then felt uneasy and asked, "You didn't do anything bad, right?"

Zhao Huan said: "If you really did something bad, if you ask me like this, I will say no."

Li Jingfeng touched his chin and said, "That's right."

Sure enough, after nightfall, Rao Daobaozi knew that Zhao Huan was awake and immediately came to inquire.Zhao Huan claimed to be from Tianshui, and it was true that he spoke with a northern accent. He also asked him what he did for a living and how he came to be outside the village.

"Bodyguard protects the hospital." Zhao Huan replied, "I was drunk in Longchuan Town last night and rode a donkey out. I don't want to be here when I wake up."

"There was a heavy snowstorm last night. Did you go out on a snowy night?" Rao Daozi asked, as if he didn't believe it.

"Drunk." Zhao Huan scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"Then we'll live here from now on. Are you literate?" Rao Daozi asked.

"I'm not a horse bandit, I'm a serious person." Zhao Huan said, "If you lock me up, I will always find a way to escape."

"You are different from the little brother next to you." Rao Dao said, "I can see that you know martial arts. If you want to escape, it will not be easy to use force." He whispered, "There is no sword. No harm to your life, I hope you remember.”

Zhao Huan said nothing more. After Rao Daobaozi left, he chatted with Li Jingfeng again and asked what kind of person Rao Daobaozi was. Li Jingfeng told him everything he had seen and heard in the past two months.

"The village leader is a good person, he just did bad things."

Zhao Huan nodded and asked, "Why didn't you follow him?"

Li Jingfeng shook his head and said: "If you want to be a horse thief, you can do it in Qingcheng. Why should I come to Gansu?"

That night, Zhao Huan slept on the same kang as Li Jingfeng. Li Jingfeng rarely slept with others and was not used to it.He woke up early the next day and was about to wake up Zhao Huan, but found that the bed was empty. Li Jingfeng was startled and thought to himself: "Did he escape during the night?" This was incredible. The cottage was as heavily guarded during the day and night. , if he was discovered... As soon as he thought about it, Li Jingfeng immediately got up and was about to open the door when he saw Zhao Huan pushing the door open and walking in.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Huan asked, looking at Li Jingfeng who looked surprised.

"I just wanted to ask you where you went." Li Jingfeng said, "You don't want to escape, do you?"

Zhao Huan said: "I just went out to see what this Raodao village is like."

Li Jingfeng asked: "Aren't you being made difficult?"

Zhao Huan said: "It's freezing and snowing. Who doesn't stay at home and feel comfortable? I'm the only one who goes out and suffers."

Li Jingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe the patrolman saw that there was nothing suspicious about him, so he was not embarrassed and complained: "Don't run around, just stay in the house."

Zhao Huan nodded, sat back on the kang, saw a book on the table, picked it up, and asked: ""Arhat Boxing Book"? Have you just learned martial arts?"

Li Jingfeng nodded.

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "I heard someone boxing last night when I was half drunk and half awake. It turned out to be you. You are diligent in practicing kung fu. Do you want to practice kung fu as soon as possible and fight your way out of the village?"

Li Jingfeng said: "I just want to get my sword back."

Zhao Huan said: "I have nothing to do, I just want to pass the time. Why don't you tell me, how did you get caught in this cottage?"

At that moment, Li Jingfeng told the story of how he entered Gansu, encountered bandits, and was rescued by Rao Daobaozi. He also told how his original intention was taken away by Rao Changsheng, and how Rao Daobaozi ambushed the sand ghost.Zhao Huan nodded frequently and said, "It sounds like Rao Daobaozi is not a bad person."

After Li Jingfeng finished speaking, he added: "There will be a martial arts competition in two days, and I have to practice." After that, he opened his stance and prepared to practice Luohan Quan a few more times.

Zhao Huan didn't waste any time on him, he sat on the edge of the bed and watched quietly.After he finished the 36 rounds of Arhat Boxing, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to fight again, Zhao Huan shook his head and said: "If you do this, you will be damned if you win, and you will be beaten in vain."

Li Jingfeng also knew that it was difficult to defeat him, so he only said: "That sword is important to me. I have to fight even if I can't win."

"How long have you been learning this Arhat Boxing?"

"It's been a month."

"He has practiced longer than you, and his skills are deeper than yours. You are familiar with it, but he is more familiar with it than you. He knows every move you make, so you can beat the crap out of you."

"What should I do?" Li Jingfeng asked, "I don't know any other martial arts."

"If you really want to win, I have a way."

Li Jingfeng said in surprise: "Do you have any idea?"

Zhao Huan said: "I have a way, I will definitely win, but there is a condition."

In addition to escaping, the most important thing for Li Jingfeng was to regain his original intention. When he heard that Zhao Huan had a way, he immediately became excited and asked quickly: "What are the conditions?"

Zhao Huan whispered: "Let's escape together. There is a bounty on the sword and horse thieves. Let's tell the Iron Sword Silver Guard this place and get the bounty. I'll give you three, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Li Jingfeng's excitement suddenly disappeared and he said in a deep voice: "Then let's forget it."

"Didn't you say that the sword is important to you?" Zhao Huan became anxious when he saw that he didn't agree, "They are all bandits, and it would be a shame to die, otherwise we would both be trapped here."

"What the leader did was a bad thing. I don't know if it was a shame to die." Li Jingfeng said, "But I accepted his life-saving grace and I must not betray him."

Zhao Huan sneered and said: "Those who lost their lives by him don't think so. You are calling it a disregard for righteousness."

"If you don't have any small righteousness, how can you get the righteousness?" Li Jingfeng shook his head and said, "If you want to run away, I won't stop you. If I want to leave, I will just go by myself. If you want to betray the village owner, I can't help you."

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "You are quite stubborn. Well, I will teach you a few moves and show you what I am capable of." He said, opening his posture, which was the starting gesture of Arhat Fist.He first used the move "Cross Palm" and then the move "Tiger Throw". Li Jingfeng was even more disappointed when he saw that these two moves were mediocre and almost the same as his own.

Zhao Huan asked: "What do you think I will do next?"

Li Jingfeng said: "Of course it's 'Double Winds Penetrating the Ears'. 'Single-pronged Tiger Throwing' is a hook with the right fist. Taking advantage of this force, you spin around the enemy's back and hit both ears left and right. This is the method of Luohan Quan." Routine.”

Zhao Huan said: "Wrong, this is your routine."

Li Jingfeng was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Huan said: "You know this Arhat Fist, and he also knows this Arhat Fist. He has practiced it longer than you, and you are more familiar with the routines. Even if you adapt to the situation, you are not as quick as him. On the contrary, you have to take advantage of his familiarity with this set of kung fu." , beat him to a specious level."

Li Jingfeng sighed and said, "So that's it, you think I haven't thought about it?"

Zhao Huan said in surprise: "Have you thought about it? Have you figured it out?"

Li Jingfeng said: "The reason why the moves are easy to use is because of the fighting experience accumulated by the predecessors. The reason why the routines are easy to use is because the transformation of body movements is the smoothest and most fluent. If you make a move that is plausible, it is a blind boxing. It is better than a blind boxing." I lose faster." This is what he learned from Shen Yuqing when he was on the boat.

Zhao Huan laughed loudly: "So you still understand these principles!"

Li Jingfeng wanted to say that it was Shen Yuqing who taught him, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't reply.

Zhao Huan said: "Do you know how many types of Luohan Quan there are? In Gansu alone, at least seven different "Arhat Quan Pu" can be found. They all have similarities and have their own boxing principles. Although their shapes are similar to gods, they are completely different. I'll teach you other Arhat techniques, and I'll make sure you beat him submissively."

Li Jingfeng listened to his confidence and couldn't help but ask: "Which family's Arhat Quan? Is it the Arhat Quan taught by Shaolin?"

Zhao Huan said sternly: "The original Arhat Fist is no longer useful. Otherwise, how could it be an introduction to martial arts? What I teach you is the most powerful Arhat Fist in the world. Well..." He thought for a while and said, " It’s called World Arhat Fist!” This name seems to have just been taken out.

Li Jingfeng was dubious when he saw Zhao Huan draw up his stance and said, "Look carefully...these three moves are 'Seven Star Link', 'Yaksha Exploring the Sea', and 'Coiling Dragon Turn'." After that, he practiced these three moves. Read it again.These were the three moves that Li Jingfeng was accustomed to practicing, but when Zhao Huan used them, they were not exactly the same. There was no chance of winning the battle tomorrow. Even though he was suspicious at the moment, Li Jingfeng could only listen to them and believe in them.

In the rest of the day, Li Jingfeng practiced the three moves countless times according to Zhao Huan's instructions. Every time he made a mistake, Zhao Huan gave detailed instructions. By the time he had mastered the three moves, it was already night.

Early the next morning, Li Jingfeng went to the cell to see Old Man Gan.After the heavy snowfall that day, the weather gradually became warmer and the snow gradually melted. As soon as I entered the door, I saw many flies rushing toward my face.

Zhao Huan asked strangely: "It's New Year's Eve, so many flies?"

It turns out that the window of the hut is small and airtight, and it is already damp on weekdays.Rao Daobaozi was afraid that Old Gan would freeze to death because he didn't know the cold and heat, so he always kept a small heater in the room to keep the room warm.Before Li Jingfeng came, the house was full of filth and rarely cleaned. After the filth seeped into the wooden boards, there were no shortage of flies all year round.

Li Jingfeng piled the remaining snow on the floor, waited for the snow to melt, and then wiped it with a rag.Zhao Huan covered his nose and stood at the door, watching. It took Li Jingfeng more than an hour to clean the house.

"You've scrubbed it clean. Will he get it dirty later? It's all in vain." Zhao Huan said.

"For the Chinese New Year, let him feel comfortable."

Zhao Huan spread his hands, noncommittal, but there was praise in his eyes.

In the afternoon, Li Jingfeng was still worried and practiced the three moves taught by Zhao Huan again and again.Zhao Huan warned him to save some strength, lest his fists and feet would become weak.Bai Niu invited Li Jingfeng to her home for New Year's Eve dinner, but Li Jingfeng looked at Zhao Huan and refused.Bai Niu glared at Zhao Huan and brought over two bowls of white noodles, a plate of beef, a plate of haggis, two pieces of Paoer oil cake and a small bottle of Baigan. This was already an extremely rich meal in the village.

Li Jingfeng smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, the white noodles you asked for are here."

Zhao Huan raised his glass and asked, "Do you want to drink?"

Li Jingfeng said: "I have to fight in the ring if I stay for a while, I'm afraid of getting drunk."

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "You can only bear the pain when you are three-thirds drunk. Drink some!"

The two toasted and exchanged glasses, very happy.

At the end of the year, people from Raodaozhai rushed to the shed with benches. Lao Hong had already cleared the snow on the shed and hung red lanterns on both sides, which was quite festive.There were more than 80 people in Raodaozhai, and not counting the guards, [-] people came. They really looked at the duel between Li Jingfeng and Rao Changsheng as a monkey show.

The old man held a felt hat and shouted to place bets. Li Jingfeng paid five to one, and Rao Changsheng paid one to five.Everyone knew that Li Jingfeng had no chance of winning, so all the bets were placed on Rao Changsheng. Soon the odds became [-] to [-] and [-] to [-]. Only Bai Niu put her only [-] yuan of new year's money on Li Jingfeng.

Seeing her loss, her father Qiwei comforted her: "If you lose, I will give you another twenty coins."

Bai Niu said angrily: "If Brother Jingfeng wins, I will share half of it with you!"

Qi Wei shook his head and smiled: "If he can win, I will lie on the ground and let you ride for three days!"

Bai Niu said: "I rode it when I was a child, it's not a surprise!" She snorted coldly and ignored her father again.

Li Jingfeng couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that almost everyone in the village had arrived.Zhao Huan chose a seat and sat on the floor, urging him to come on stage quickly.On the other side, Rao Changsheng put on a black outfit. Although it was not new, it could be seen that it was something that he treasured and could not bear to wear several times.

Seeing that the two of them were so serious, Rao Dao Baozi couldn't help but laugh. He stood up and said: "The new year is coming, and the old year is about to be eradicated. Today, Quanzi and Brother Li are fighting with each other in martial arts. Until the point is reached, no swords are seen and no lives are hurt. The fight is It's this sword..." As he said this, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask what the sword was called, and looked at Li Jingfeng.Li Jingfeng hurriedly said: "Original intention." Rao Changsheng blurted out almost at the same time as him, shouting: "Zhangyi! This sword is called Zhengyi!" He actually gave the sword another name.

Rao Daozi smiled and said: "This sword is called Zhengyi, which is the original intention. Let's see who wins today!" He had never hosted this kind of program, and he was at a loss for words for a while, so he simply ended it early, put the sword on the bench in the middle, and said: "I'll be the judge. Brother Jingfeng, can you trust me?"

Li Jingfeng nodded and held the moon in his arms to ask for help.Rao Changsheng held up a white crane with its wings spread out, then suddenly grabbed it and attacked Li Jingfeng.

Li Jingfeng first made a cross with his palms, moving his palms diagonally, one behind the other. Rao Changsheng had learned two more sets of boxing techniques than Li Jingfeng. He turned sideways to avoid the attack, stepped on his feet, and used Baguazhang.The strength of this Mizong Baguazhang lies in the changes in its footsteps, crossing its legs and moving around the enemy's body. It turns around and pushes the palm forward and backward, forward and backward, making it difficult to resist.Everyone saw that although he was young, he was already very proficient in Baguazhang, so they couldn't help but shout "Hello", and the knife handlers also nodded secretly, quite approvingly.

Zhao Huan frowned underneath. He had never seen Rao Changsheng's skills. He didn't know that he was so proficient in Baguazhang. He was afraid that Li Jingfeng would not be able to avoid it and would be injured and defeated before he used the three moves he taught.

Who knows that no matter how erratic the shadow of Rao Changsheng's palm is, Li Jingfeng can always avoid it when the opportunity is tight.The wonderful thing is that he didn't really see through Rao Changsheng's palm technique, but instinctively avoided when the palm came, and advanced when the palm went away.In fact, with Li Jingfeng's dodge method, he could be caught off guard with just a feint. However, although Rao Changsheng had learned kung fu for a few more years, he actually had no experience in facing enemies. He and his father went out to fight famine and never fought against anyone. , the first time I seriously competed with others, I couldn't help but be trembling, for fear of losing my sense of proportion, so I just followed the rules step by step.

The two fought for more than ten moves. Li Jingfeng stepped with his feet. This was a move called "Seven Stars Chain". Every step he took was a punch, and he took seven steps in a row, so it was called "Seven Stars Chain".This step coincides with the direction of the Big Dipper. After four steps to the left and right, take three steps forward, forward, and left.

Rao Changsheng had already figured out the secret of this move. Li Jingfeng took a step to the left. He also dodged to the left, and then turned to the right. Unexpectedly, with a "bang", the second punch hit him solidly in the chest. Everyone was shocked. Exhale.Rao Changsheng was punched in the chest. He was shocked and hurt. He dodged to the left, but unexpectedly he was punched in the chest again. He dodged to the right again and was hit in the chest again.It turned out that Li Jingfeng's last three punches did not follow the routine, hitting him left, right, and left. Rao Changsheng followed his instinct to dodge, and it seemed as if he was punching him with his chest.

Rao Changsheng was punched three times in a row. He knew something was wrong and quickly tried to get behind Li Jingfeng. Unexpectedly, Li Jingfeng seemed to have predicted this and retreated instead of advancing. He turned back and hit Rao Changsheng in the chest.Rao Changsheng was furious and crouched down, thinking that no matter which direction you hit next, I won't be able to hit him if I lie down low. Unexpectedly, his vision went dark, and a black shadow came. It turned out to be Li Jingfeng's knee, which hit him hard in the face. superior.The sixth hit of this "seven-star chain" turned out to be a knee strike. How can it be so unreasonable!Rao Changsheng was knocked dizzy and quickly pulled away to retreat. Li Jingfeng took a step forward, lowered his waist and punched Rao Changsheng hard in the chest.

Everyone couldn't help but said "Hey" and were very surprised. Rao Daozi also frowned, but Bai Niu clapped her hands and applauded.

Li Jingfeng didn't expect that these seven attacks would go so smoothly. He was even more courageous. Taking advantage of Rao Changsheng's confusion, he advanced forward, crouched low, and hit Rao Changsheng with an unconventional "Yaksha Exploration" move from bottom to top. Angry sea.Rao Changsheng was out of breath. Li Jingfeng didn't wait for his reaction and circled behind him. This move of "Coiling Dragon Turn" was to step behind the enemy, turn around and hit the enemy's back door with both fists. Rao Changsheng saw him move around behind him. , knowing that he was going to use this move, he immediately bent down.As he bent down, his center of gravity dropped, Li Jingfeng turned around, but instead of throwing a punch, he struck at Rao Changsheng's knees and kicked him to the ground.Rao Changsheng was beaten so dizzy that he couldn't get up for a while.

Won!Li Jingfeng didn't expect that he could win so easily with just three moves.Everyone was shocked by the ingenuity of Li Jingfeng's three moves. The scene was completely silent, making Bai Niu's cheers particularly abrupt.Bai Niu called out a few times and found that her father Qiwei's expression was not right, so she couldn't help but become quiet.

Li Jingfeng suddenly thought that rather than saying there was anything extraordinary about these three moves, it was better to say that Zhao Huan had anticipated Rao Changsheng's reaction, and all three moves were designed for Rao Changsheng.But Zhao Huan had never seen Rao Changsheng, nor had he seen him take action. How did he expect it?He looked down the stage, but couldn't find Zhao Huan. When he was anxious, a figure stood in front of him.

It was Rao's knife handle. At this moment, he was livid: "I really thought you didn't know martial arts, but you even managed to hide it from me!"

Li Jingfeng saw the ferocious force of Rao's knife, so he couldn't help but take a few steps back and said hurriedly: "I just learned these moves!"

Qiwei shouted: "I told you there was something wrong with this guy!"

Li Jingfeng saw everyone questioning and said hurriedly: "Brother Zhao taught me! He taught me, just ask him!"

"Zhao Huan?" Rao Dao looked down the stage, but Zhao Huan was nowhere to be seen. He only saw everyone staring behind him in stunned silence.

Rao Dao turned his head away, and at some point, Zhao Huan was already sitting on the main seat under the shed with his legs crossed. That was his position.

"Are you looking for me?" Zhao Huan's eyes were like lightning, how could he not be as lazy as before? "Sorry, I lied to you. My surname is not Zhao. However, some of you should recognize me." He touched his chin and turned his face sideways, as if he wanted others to see it more clearly, especially with a pair of The black eyes are piercing and very majestic.

At that moment, someone said in a trembling voice: "It's... it's... Third Master?!"

"My surname is Qi, and my name is Zigai." Qi Zigai didn't even get up, he just sat on the chair and clasped his fists in salute.

Li Jingfeng was shocked. He didn't expect that the person drinking and having New Year's Eve dinner with him would be the world-famous Kongtong Qi Sanye!

"Finally, we were found." Rao Daozi sighed, raised his head and closed his eyes, seeming to be deep in thought. After a while, he suddenly shouted loudly, "The third master came here alone, did he plan to take over Rao Dao Village alone? ?!”

"I've done the math. Excluding the old, weak, women and children, there are probably more than 150 people in the village that can be beaten." Qi Ziguan said calmly, "It's not bad."
