Ming Dynasty: Summoning game players at the beginning

Chapter 161 Who is the Fist for?

The girl said goodbye to her best friend in the south of the village, said goodbye to her friends in the east of the village, thanked her neighbors in the west of the village, and cried under the winter sun in the north of the village.

Finally, she trotted quickly to the familiar dilapidated temple. The silly "Aji" was still standing there, muttering incomprehensible words.

She wiped away her tears, suppressed her sadness, and put on a smile that was more embarrassing than crying.

She moved closer to Aji and squatted down. Only in this way could she see the face of the "fool" under his messy hair.

"Hello, Aji, we meet again."

"Hello……"

Aji was in a dazed state at first, but then his whole body twitched, as if his flying soul had returned to his body, and his stupid eyes instantly became clear and bright.

"Hey? Ah Xiang, why are you here again?" Ah Ji's tone was clear, and he seemed to have entered an intermittent normal state.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I came here today to say goodbye to you..." The girl's eyes were red, and her tone was filled with suppressed tears.

"Where to?"

"Go to a place far, far away, and we will never see each other again."

The girl felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife when she thought about being tortured to death by that bastard Master Lu.

She couldn't help but turn her head away and sniffed, trying to suppress her tears and sadness.

Although Aji is silly, the time she spends listening to stories from Aji is the most leisurely and happiest time for her.

She also wanted to hear more interesting and strange stories from Aji.

pity……

She only blamed herself for her miserable life.

"Why can't we meet again? We can meet anytime we want. Didn't you just go home and come here again?"

Aji blinked his eyes, his gaze filled with clear stupidity, like an innocent university monk.

"I'm going to Master Lu's mansion to be a concubine and enjoy a good life." The girl made up a lie to fool the fool, "Master Lu is very good to me. He gave my father a gift of 100 taels of silver. From now on, I will be able to eat and drink well. But the master's family rules are very strict, so I can no longer go out casually..."

"If you are going to enjoy yourself, why do I see your eyes are red, as if you have been crying? Were you forced to get married?" Aji's expression became serious.

"No way! Master Lu's motorcade will come to my house to pick me up tomorrow morning. I'm so happy! The hard times are finally over. And I'm... volunteering..."

The girl placed great emphasis on the word "voluntary".

She turned her face away, bit her lips, and covered her chest tightly with her small hands.

She wondered why she had to come to such a stupid fool to complain.

He is just a fool who is powerless.

"If you're being bullied or forced, I've made the right choice," Ah Ji said, patting his chest and volunteering. "As long as there aren't dozens or hundreds of people around, I can handle it alone. The recent update to the game system has significantly increased my strength and agility..."

"Silly boy, you're sick again."

The girl smiled, thinking that whatever Ah Ji said could make her laugh. When she laughed, she could forget all her worries.

The girl looked outside the temple and said how nice it would be if she could become a stupid fool.

There is no need to be happy or sad. Just wait for the sunrise and the night to fall calmly every day. A lifetime will pass like this.

She turned her head and looked at the half-cut statue in the dilapidated temple. The "statue" without half of its body was like a blind god in the sky, unable to see the sufferings of the world, and unable to hear the sadness crying out in her heart.

She wanted to scream and cry her heart out, but she finally held it back.

Bury the despair of the raging waves deep in your heart, and you will be completely liberated when the day comes when your body and mind are dead.

"Thank you, Aji, for the stories you told me these days, for bringing laughter to my life, and for letting me see so much of the beautiful world.

Thank you, thank you so much..."

The girl pulled out a homemade sachet from her sleeve and stuffed it into Aji's hand.

"Is it that this Lu man will send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning, and your family's lives are threatened, so you have no choice but to marry him?" Aji was mentally normal this time, but what he said made people feel abnormal.

"I'm leaving now. You must eat well, sleep well, and have fun. Don't forget that there's a listener named Xiang'er who's been listening to your stories for a long, long time..."

The girl turned to leave, but Aji grabbed her wrist and said, "I'm very capable. I'll go help you. Wait for me at home tomorrow morning. I'll also call some people to help you. Although they're not many, they're all as capable as me."

The girl didn't care about the principle of "men and women shouldn't touch each other", so who would care about a kind-hearted fool in this regard?

The girl forced a smile, speaking words she hardly believed, "Then I'll wait for you to come, like the heroes in the stories, wearing golden armor and riding on a colorful cloud to help me."

How could the legends in the story come true?

The girl turned and walked away, as if she had made some kind of decision.

She walked home step by step, and the road seemed to span across mountains and plains.

She went home and fell asleep.

But she couldn't fall asleep. She was thinking about the stories Aji told her, the fairyland-like world, and the silly Aji.

She also wanted to ride on an iron bird to fly to the sky, ride on an "iron horse" to cross thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and take out a piece of iron to talk to people thousands of miles away.
It’s more like flying to the Moon Palace to meet the fairy Chang’e. Is she really as beautiful as the legend says?

She also wants to eat three full meals a day, with enough food to voluntarily eat less in order to lose weight.

She really wanted to, but her life would no longer belong to her tomorrow morning.

"Dad! Mom!" The girl covered her mouth, curled up in the quilt, and trembled all over to suppress her fear.

Xiang'er doesn't want to die yet...

The next morning, those lackeys really got a carriage and came to the door of Dong's house.

The girl tidied herself up as promised, then walked through the door and onto the muddy road towards the carriage that was heading towards a point of no return.

The girl heard her parents calling her from behind, but she didn't dare to look back. She was afraid that if she looked back, she would lose the courage to move forward.

Just before getting on the carriage, she was still looking into the distance to see the figure of the familiar person.

He didn't come.

The girl sighed briefly and laughed at herself, wondering why she would believe that such a fool would actually come.

She stepped into the carriage and sat in the middle as if resigned to her fate. With a shout, the carriage started.

The wheels rumbled on the muddy road, and the girl was visibly weakened.

His eyes were lifeless and his heart was completely dead, like a canary locked in a cage, a puppet at the mercy of others.

Just before the girl's heart fell into complete darkness, the carriage under her feet suddenly stopped.

"who!"

The girl heard the lackeys shouting, as if a stranger had entered a manor full of pastoral dogs.

Her heart, which had fallen to the bottom, was lifted up again. She hurriedly lifted the curtain in front of the car and saw a man wearing a conical hat blocking the road.

The girl felt that it was very familiar, but she couldn't recognize it for a while.

The man raised his head, revealing his handsome face beneath his bamboo hat. His well-groomed hair was tied into a bun, and his fitted clothes were all black.

The man was wearing officer-style black military boots, holding a thick steel knife in his hand, and even had a familiar sachet hanging on the right side of his waist.

When the girl saw the sachet she had made herself, she realized that this person was not Aji, so who else could it be?
But isn’t Aji a fool? Why does he seem like a different person when I see him today?
Not only is he mentally sound, he also dresses like a rouge knight.

"Aji, is that you?" the girl asked anxiously, but the lackey driving the horse kept blocking her way.

"Sorry, it took me some time to wash my hair and change clothes, and my brothers are all late - but it doesn't matter, there are only about twenty people here, I can handle it easily by myself."

"I'm glad you can come and see me off. Please go." The girl couldn't finish the second half of her sentence: You are no match for them.

She didn't want to provoke conflict between the two sides because of this half sentence.

She doesn't want to see good people get hurt.

"Hey, brat! Do you know whose carriage this is?"

"What's the matter? You went out without your brain. You don't know whose carriage it is?"

Aji shook his neck from side to side, and at the same time, he clasped his fists and twisted his wrists, ankles and waist.

The lackeys were amused by Aji's strange behavior, while the girl grabbed her clothes at her chest, her face full of nervousness.

"Oh wow, I didn't expect this girl to have a lover?"

"I'm afraid she went to spend the night with this young lover yesterday."

"Oh, then Master Lu will be unhappy."

"Hey, little bastard, did you sleep with this girl yesterday?"

"What's your business?" Aji stopped warming up, gripped the hilt tightly with his right hand, and slowly pulled out the thick steel knife. The heavy blade reflected the metallic luster in the sunlight. "Are you guys done talking? Don't blame me for not giving you enough time to say your last words later."

"Oh, this kid is quite arrogant. He wants to beat twenty-three of us by himself."

"No! Please don't hurt him, he just has a weak brain, he is not a bad person. Please let him go, I will go with you to Master Lu's house obediently, please..." The girl begged for mercy anxiously, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Humph! I'm going to beat your lover to death right in front of you, just to put an end to your little thoughts. Come on!"

At the command of the little leader, twenty-two minions rolled up their sleeves, held sticks firmly, and swarmed around Aji.

"Run!" the girl screamed miserably while clinging to the edge of the car.

It's over. It's all over.

The girl blamed herself for harming Aji. If she hadn't been joking, the fool wouldn't have taken it seriously, let alone died here.

"Hurry up and leave..."

The girl didn't dare to look straight ahead, for she was afraid of seeing the horrific scene of Aji being beaten to death with sticks.

However, the next second the girl did not hear Aji's scream, but instead heard the little leader's surprised cry -

"Aji" smiled contemptuously, raised the thick steel knife with one hand and swung it horizontally.

There was a flash of cold light, and a lackey's head and body were instantly separated, with blood spurting out of his neck like a mountain fountain.

Before the other lackeys could recover from the shocking scene, Aji had already rushed forward several steps with a murderous look, and stabbed the henchman's body with another knife, as easily as a wooden chopstick piercing through window paper.

"Ola Ola Ola!" Aji roared and waved his steel knife, as if the Ox-Head and Horse-Face were sowing death in broad daylight.

The girl sat down on the car floor and looked at Aji, who looked like a completely different person, in disbelief.

Is this still the silly, intermittently normal and crazy Aji who likes to tell funny stories?
