The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 20: Chapter 22

The two went back to the cowshed quietly, and wanted to sleep quietly without saying a word, but when they walked into their residence, they saw the whole family sitting in the cowshed.

When Duan Yanqing saw Duan Wuji, he hugged Duan Wuji and said: "Wuji, have you made an agreement with others? How did it come to this time? It made my father anxious to death."

Duan Changsheng sneered and said: "Father, do you think Wuji can reason with his clumsy tongue? I am the only one in our family who can speak, why don't you let him beat you back.

I guess Erdan and Tieniu must have fought with Ba Chaoer again, and they must have beaten him again and hid him, only daring to go home after dark.

Erdan, do you think what brother said is right? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this: "Brother, my dear brother, you still know me. If you want to be reasonable, how can you use me? If you can be reasonable, you have already said it, isn't it impossible? , can only be solved by force."

Duan Yanqing stomped his feet. "Wuji, you've screwed me to death now. If someone finds you tomorrow, what will you do? This will make our family go bankrupt."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's okay, we beat them up, I led Brother Tieniu to run south, how do you think they can find the north? Don't worry, it's okay, at worst we don't go to their village No, whoever leaves will not live."

Duan Yanqing nodded after listening. "Well, it's also the same reason, Wuji, you didn't destroy him, did you?"

After hearing this, Tieniu interrupted and said, "Hey, my brother broke his leg and cut off one of his ears, and knocked off five or six of his ears with bare teeth. Uncle, my brothers are very cruel. .”

After hearing this, Duan Wuji immediately stretched out his hand to cover Tieniu's mouth. "Brother Tieniu, are you here to teach me? I'm afraid I won't be beaten."

Tie Niu laughed and said nothing after hearing this.

Duan Yanqing thought for a while and said: "Wuji, just to be on the safe side. I think you should go to your third grandfather's place to herd cattle tomorrow! It's safer."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded. "okay."

As he said that, Duan Wuji took out the money he robbed today from his pocket and handed it to Duan Yanqing.

"Father, this belongs to the kid I robbed today, you can take it."

Duan Yanqing took the silver and looked at it. "Well, it's almost the same without two or two."

When Tieniu saw it, he handed over the money he had robbed.

Duan Yanqing shook his head when he saw it. "Niu Tie, you stole this money, you can give it to your mother when you go home. You can also subsidize the family."

Tie Niu shrank his hand when he heard this, and put the silver in again.

Seeing Liu Caihua, she said to Duan Wuji: "Erd Dan, Tie Niu, you are already hungry, hurry up and eat, it's almost a day without food, today the big pancake rolled meat that mother made for you, today Your brother has nothing to eat, so I'll keep it all for you."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji realized that Yijing was unbearably hungry, and Duan Wuji just wanted to go to eat.

Duan Changsheng stood up when he saw it. "Dumb, you wait, brother will bring it to you."

After speaking, Duan Changsheng ran out.

Duan Wuji was surprised when he saw it and said: "My mother, why is the sun coming out from the west today? My brother usually thinks that I eat too much, saying that I am a hungry wolf going down the mountain, why has it changed today!"

Liucaihua laughed and said, "You vented your anger on him today, he's happy. Your brother didn't eat much of the pancake meat tonight, so I guess it's for you. Erdan, wait for your brother to bring it over." You should eat more."

At this moment, Duan Changsheng came in with a pancake and two plates of bacon.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were not polite when they met, immediately picked up the big cake, rolled up the bacon and ate it fiercely, it was really a whirlwind.

After a while, the two of them were full, and Duan Changsheng took the rest back.

Duan Yanqing glanced at the two of them and said: "Wuji, I guess nothing will happen today, you two should rest earlier.

Just to be on the safe side, Promise!Hurry up and go to your third grandfather's house early tomorrow, do you hear me clearly? "

Duan Wuji nodded. "Well, Dad, don't worry."

Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua turned and went back after speaking.

Tieniu looked at Duan Wuji and smiled. "Wuji, today's dinner is really delicious! I've eaten this too, let's go to bed and rest."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Brother Tieniu, have you digested all these good things?

If you want to sleep, you can sleep, I still have to practice martial arts. "

Tie Niu blinked his eyes. "I said brother, you said that I am so boring to sleep alone! This person can't sleep, so why don't I follow you to practice martial arts! I also learn a few tricks from you, maybe I will use it sometime. "

As the two of them walked into the yard, Duan Wuji first practiced his boxing and kicking kung fu a few times. He was as fast as a civet cat walking like lightning, his punches were like wind and lightning. There is no empty hand when the fist is in place, and the feet and feet are turning fiercely.

The Tie Niu watched intently, Duan Wuji started to practice the Eighteen Arhats' cudgel technique after practicing boxing and kicking kung fu.

It is seen that his stick follows people, people follow the stick, and the stick blows with the wind. It is not common to see long sticks and short ones.

After practicing the stick technique, Duan Wuji began to practice the sword technique again. The 36 soul-chasing moves were originally taught by Taoism. Duan Wuji made this sword dance impenetrable, and saw that a wall of swords had formed around Duan Wuji. Hundreds of Jian Chen pointed in all directions.

After practicing for a long time, Duan Wuji withdrew his sword, the iron bull looked stupid.

"Brother, you are really good. My brother has been studying with you for so many days, and I haven't even learned a little bit of what you have learned. Brother will definitely study hard with you in the future. I will never be lazy again.

Hey, brother, let's go to bed, it's probably late at night now. "

With that said, the two walked into the house.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up early, and immediately rushed to Duanjiaji with the herd of cattle.

Entering the third grandpa's house, the third grandpa's family was very happy to see the fat cows.

The third grandpa smiled and pointed at the herd of cattle and said, "Wuji, you have worked hard these past few months. Look at how fat this herd is! At the end of this year, we sold the money, and our family's life has suddenly become richer. "

Dragon Boat Festival listened and smiled but didn't speak.The two of them started to eat in the house. After breakfast, the two of them brought enough dry food and went out to herd the cattle again.

Duan Wuji practiced martial arts while herding cattle, and Tie Niu threw his flute and watched very seriously. Later, Tie Niu slowly followed Duan Wuji to learn, and gradually learned a lot of Duan Wuji's moves, but Not very proficient.

Later, Tieniu tried to practice against Duan Wuji, Duan Wuji used the stick, and Tieniu used the sword.Tie Niu uses sticks, Duan Wuji uses swords.

Although the two of them continued to work together, their kung fu has improved a lot.

In a flash, more than a month has passed.

It was the autumn harvest season again, and the cattle in the family gradually decreased, and they were borrowed by the villagers to harvest and plow in autumn.

Duan Wuji's family also took away two cows. When the last cow was taken away, the two children were completely unemployed.

At ten o'clock in the evening that day, the third grandfather walked in with a bunch of copper coins with a smile.

"Wuji, when the cattle were sold last year, Grandpa Sanzu promised to buy you a fire-roasted meat roll, but this promise has not been fulfilled until now.

You see, during the busy autumn season, we have lent out all our cattle, so you can take the money and go out to play for a few days tomorrow, and Grandpa Sanzu will give you a few days off.

It's enough for both of you to eat a fire roll meat by the way. "

After hearing this, Tieniu asked, "Grandpa Sanzu, how long did it take for our cow to come back?"

"Well, it will take half a month and 20 days. Hey, kid, what's the matter?"

Tie Niu shook his head. "It's okay, just asking by the way."

"Boy, don't worry. Although you no longer herd cattle, you still eat at the third grandpa's house as usual. No one dares to kick you out. The third grandpa knows that your family has no land."

Duan Wuji took the copper money and put it in his pocket, then bowed deeply to the third grandfather: "Thank you, third grandfather."

Seeing Duan Wuji salute, Tieniu followed suit.

The third grandfather waved his hand when he saw him. "Okay, okay, you guys rest." Said the third grandpa turned around and left.

Duan Wuji smiled mysteriously at Tie Niu: "Brother Tie Niu, I'm dissatisfied with you, I didn't hand in all the money I got from that kid last time, and I still have half a tael of money in my pocket. If you eat fire-roasted meat rolls, you will have to eat several meals."

"Really? Brother Wuji, you are really a rich man. I handed over all my money, and let my father buy rice and noodles. Now I should take advantage of you again."

"Hey, which of our brothers is with whom? Stop talking about this. Take a rest and let's go out early tomorrow."

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Duan Wuji and Tieniu got up early.

Tie Niu said with a smile: "Brother, let's go now."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Niu Tie, take our weapons. Are you holding a big stick or a sword?"

"Hey, buddy, what's the use of taking these guys out with us buddies? Aren't we going to fight?"

"Brother, you don't know now. This is called keeping your fists in your hands, and your tunes in your mouth. You say that our martial arts practitioners don't carry weapons with them. Is that still called martial arts training?"

Tieniu grinned amusedly. "Brother, brother has been taught. Brother, I'd better hold a big stick, brother makes this thing easy to use."

Two people carried weapons and walked straight to the main street of Duanjiaji. They bought thirty fire-roasted meat rolls in front of the fire shop, and two people walked straight to the outside of the village of Duanjiaji with weapons.

Tieniu asked Duan Wuji while eating Huo Shao. "Brother, where do you think we should go?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Hey, Brother Tieniu, isn't there a Guandaogou fourteen or five miles north of our family collection! Let's go to that place to play, it is spacious and there are few pedestrians , the scenery is also beautiful, just suitable for us to practice martial arts."

Tie Niu listened and nodded. "Well, I've been to that place a few times, and it's really a good place."

Saying that, the two of them went straight to Guandaogou.

This Guandaogou is a valley running from southwest to northeast. There is a valley sandwiched between two mountains. The terrain is very dangerous. The valley stretches for hundreds of miles.

Although it has entered autumn, the official road ditch is still full of vitality and a thriving scene.

The faint fragrance of wild flowers is very pleasant.The two of them first sat on the grass and ate five or six fires each, and then they started to practice martial arts. At the beginning, Duan Wuji practiced, and the iron bull watched quietly from the side, and then the two began to practice against each other.

Duan Wuji used a sword, and the iron bull used a stick.Later, the two exchanged weapons and continued to practice until noon, when Tieniu dropped his weapon and said to Duan Wuji, "Brother, it's already noon, let's eat a few fires and rest for a while, and then practice for a while." Just go back."

Duan Wuji nodded.The two burned all the fire and ate, and drank a few mouthfuls of stream water nearby. The two walked up the hillside, lay down in the grass on the hillside and began to rest.

The warm sun shone on the two of them, and within a short time, both of them fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of the clash of knives and guns and the neighing of horses awakened the two of them.

Duan Wuji sat up abruptly, and looked down the hillside, he saw thirty or so riders, armed with knives and guns, besieging a dozen people, who were desperately resisting with knives and guns in their hands.

The two sides were fighting for their lives at the bottom of the ditch, and saw an old man in his 50s holding a whip and holding a sword directing the resistance.

The old man was dressed in blue official clothes, with panic all over his face, holding his sword and shouting desperately: "Hold it, hold it. Otherwise none of us will survive."

Can two or three hit one, can it withstand it?Seeing it will not work.

I saw that these thirty or so reformers were all smeared with black and gray, with sand scarves wrapped around their heads, and they were all brave and good at fighting.

People in the circle have fallen into despair.But the instinct to survive is still resisting!
Duan Wuji poked Tie Niu with his hand, "Brother, did you see that those people on the periphery are smearing their faces with black ashes, they must not be good people, let's go down and rescue them."

"How to save it?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Accordingly, these people have no enmity with us. We only need to scare the horses when we go down. We don't need to hurt anyone. This place is not far from our Duanjiaji. We don't need to make trouble at the door of our house. .”

"Okay, I got it, just watch it."

Duan Wuji poked the iron bull with his hand. "Brother, don't shout, let's go quietly and surprise him."

"understood."

Speaking of which, the two quietly went down the hillside and headed straight for the battlefield.
