The Chen family has a daughter to marry

Chapter 37:

A group of more than [-] horse thieves surrounded the caravan. Behind them were six archers stretching their bows and strings at the heights of the sand dunes. In front of them was a man driving a horse swinging a big knife and yelling. A group of merchants who had already eaten fish were surrounded on the inner and outer floors. spin around.

Merchants gathered together, back to back and armed with knives to fight to the death. On the ground lay the corpse of a companion whose mouth was pierced by a bow and arrow. He was the speaker who was supposed to talk and negotiate with the bandits. Money, even more frantic wanting the lives of all the merchants!

The situation is no longer clear, the horse thieves don't intend to rush to take the head, but they are just to guard against these merchants with knives who are skilled in martial arts, so don't take the risk to shoot yourself in the foot if you lift a stone, the horses circle around like a sea of ​​sand The vultures prevented the merchants from desperately trying to break through, and the rest of the work could be handed over to the archers on the sand dunes. How many people are left after shooting a round of arrows over a dozen merchants?

A howl suddenly sounded on the sand dunes. Before the horse thief could react, the second and third shouts sounded one after another. It was not difficult to distinguish that it was the voice of his companions!

The sound of horseshoes running around the merchants gradually stopped, and everyone on the ground raised their heads against the sun with their hands, and saw an orange suit that almost blended with the yellow sand rushing from a high place, with white hair fluttering, killing three crossbowmen in a row. Charge to the next three.

The bandit's six crossbowmen were stationed on two distant sand dunes. The woman in orange clothes who ran fast, but obviously had never learned light kungfu and could not fly into the air, had to run wildly in a detour. The faces of the three archers were gloomy. , Zhang Gong set up an arrow and shot an arrow at the strange soldier who came out of nowhere.

The woman in orange deftly blocked one arrow with her sword, turned her body to avoid two or three arrows in succession, and ran forward without stopping. Arrow rain.

The figure of the orange-clothed man suddenly became faster, let the arrows be nailed into the sand, raised his sword and wiped the neck of the archer who was preparing the second arrow one by one, panted and sat on the ground under the surprised eyes of everyone, slowed down He shouted down the hill, "listen to the robbers below! You are already surrounded! Why don't you put down your weapons and catch your horses without a fight!?"

The corner of the bandit's mouth couldn't help twitching, no matter what he said on the hill, there was only the woman in the orange dress alone, how could there be any "surrounding"?

Some of the merchants recognized the appearance of the woman in orange, and couldn't help being overjoyed: "It's Miss Chen Xiaobaa! It's Miss Chen Xiaobaa!"

Two riders galloped out from among the gangsters, and rushed towards the exhausted orange-clothed girl in lightning speed. Chen Xiaobaa stood up and ran forward without retreating.

The two gangsters with guns looked ferocious, intending to nail the girl to death in the sand with one blow, but the guns grew out, and the petite woman flexibly fell to the ground, and cut off the horse's legs with the long sword, and took advantage of the momentum of the downward rush to kill her. With both legs behind the bandit, he suddenly jumped into the air, turned around and stabbed a sword through a bandit's heart, but he did not expect that the bandit was very fierce. Before he died, he held the blade tightly with both hands and refused to let go A gangster drew a big knife from his waist and took advantage of the situation to chop off, intending to chop off the arm of the woman in orange clothes holding the sword!

Chen Xiaobaa resolutely abandoned the sword, held the bandit's palm with one hand, and used the evil king's teaching technique to gouge the bandit's heart with the other hand into claws, and broke the bandit's pulse without taking out the heart. A moment later, the horse with a broken leg fell forward and fell to the ground. The two gangsters with high martial arts skills did not rest in peace. Embarrassed.

The merchants cheered continuously, and more than a dozen bandits rushed out in a rage, taking advantage of the woman's messy fall, they wanted to cut her up on the spot. That is to say, he threw out the sword in his hand, spun it in the air, and then nailed it into the sand in front of Chen Xiaobaa.

The bandit had already approached the nosy woman in the orange shirt in an instant, swung her knife condescendingly and beheaded her head, the woman tried her best to pull out the sword on the ground, turned around in the air to block the first slash, and was smashed to the ground by the force of the machete. Resisting the pain in his back, he suddenly reached out and grabbed a bandit by the ankle, and pulled him off the horse. At the same time, he flew on the horse with his strength, and fought with his sword on the horse.

The leader of the gangster looked gloomy, seeing his companion stabbed to death with sword after sword by the woman in orange clothes with superb martial arts skills, he uttered a cry and led the surviving men to turn around and run away.

A group of merchants survived the catastrophe of life and death. They could not help but suppress their excitement. Some shouted loudly, some hugged each other, some burst into tears, and some even ran to Chen Xiaobaa, who was driving on horseback, to kneel down and salute.

Chen Xiaobaa was stern at the first moment, but immediately swiped away the remaining blood on the blade, acting like a master, and immediately broke his skills the next moment, while rubbing his sore back and crying "Hey yo", while staggering and getting off the horse, helped him up Behind the crowd, there was no air of a master with silly smiles on their faces, and after respectfully returning the sword to the man with the mustache, he rushed to the tent.

Opening the curtain, the woman in black sat quietly in it, lowered her head and fiddled with the strings of the guqin, completely turning a deaf ear to the bloody murders outside the curtain.

Chen Xiaobaa knelt down and hugged her knees, staring blankly at the woman giggling, the woman in black shook her head slightly, and asked helplessly, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Xiaobaa tilted her head: "Sister, sister, are you really a fairy? Otherwise, how would you know that those horse thieves are coming to attack us this morning?"——Chen Xiaobaa was full of disbelief, recalling that early this morning, the woman in black Asking her to climb up the hill and hide behind the rocks "waiting to kill at any time", Chen Xiaobai thought it was just a joke, but after a while, the camp of the merchants was surrounded by a gang of bandits, who set up an ambush... The hand also happened to be standing not far from the rock where Chen Xiaobai was.

In Chen Xiaobaa's mind, the black-clothed woman in front of her is a fairy who has opened her eyes. She knows everything and everything is correct. As long as it is what "sister" says, Chen Xiaobaa will obey. If the woman in black was not physically weak, she would be a perfect person!

The woman in black said indifferently: "You were too focused on your sword practice last night. I'm afraid you didn't notice that there was a scout watching from the dark. If you didn't see your high martial arts skills, why did the gangsters arrange it so carefully this morning? It just so happens that you are new Dust Realm, these mortal-level gangsters just gave you a whetstone—tell me how many people have you beheaded?"

Chen Xiaobaa moved her fingers and said with a smile, "About fifteen or six people."

The woman in black suddenly stopped playing the piano, shook her head and said: "Too little, you have Bai Xianchen's immortal talent and you can easily climb martial arts. How many people should have come here at random, and they ended up in such a mess because they have too little experience in fighting the enemy. Do you think that fighting people is a gamble with your life? Do you have to get yourself covered in injuries? Too few people, you killed really There are too few, so I don’t know how to kill people to save effort. There are masters in the world who can borrow a leaf to take a person’s head. Generally speaking, even if you really climb to the Grandmaster Realm, you may not be able to defeat Wang Danxia's "Leaving the Dust Realm" who crawled out by themselves."

Chen Xiaobaa scratched her scalp and said shyly: "I didn't want to kill people. I just wanted to kill those bandits because they did evil. If they fled or knelt down and begged for mercy, my generation of martial arts practitioners should be merciful and spare their lives. And it should."

The woman in black looked up at Chen Xiaobaa: "You are really kind."

Chen Xiaobaa smirked and just wanted to say a few words of self-effacing, but the woman in black punched her head. She looked at the woman with grievances, and when she saw the woman in black wanted to punch her again, she hurriedly stood up and backed away. He took a step forward, waved his hands and shouted: "Wait, wait! Sister! Sister! Could you let me know the reason before you hit me? You were clearly praising me as 'good hearted' just now, but why..."

"You think I'm praising you?" the woman in black asked back, but her tone was too calm, and ordinary people could not tell whether it was irony or righteousness: "How could Bai Xianchen give you the talent of a fairy like this?" What a fool? Well, we have horses now, let's go quickly."

Chen Xiaobaa was full of doubts: "Go? Where are you going? Uh...why do you have to go in such a hurry?"

The woman in black said calmly: "You haven't figured out what sect those bandits belong to? There is such a group of bandits in the sand sea that is comparable to an army, how can they be ordinary horse bandits? I'm afraid it won't be long." Xie Wangjiao ' people will come again."

Chen Xiaobaa was taken aback: "Those people... those people are followers of the evil king sect!?"

While hesitating, Chen Xiaobaa paced back and forth, squatted down and held the black-clothed woman's palm after thinking twice: "Sister, sister, you are so smart, how can you save these merchants? If we leave , they must die at the hands of the evil king sect!"

The woman in black nodded lightly, her tone so flat that it was almost cold: "So what?"

Chen Xiaobaa said anxiously: "Send the Buddha to the west, save people to the end! How can we..."

The woman in black interrupted: "Save? How to save? How to save?"

Chen Xiaobaa frowned, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "At worst, I will fight them! Didn't my sister say that I killed too few people? When the next group of bandits arrive, I will kill them all." !"

The woman in black said: "If it's not as expected, you must have used Hu Ansheng's tricks to kill the horse thief just now."

Chen Xiaobaa nodded in confusion, not quite understanding why the woman in black mentioned this matter, she only heard the woman continue to say: "In this way, I am afraid that the arrival this time is not just as simple as a few idiots - the death of Dayu Village In Wumadu, Si Lianhua and Wumahui are still alive, do you think that if you don't take your head back with Chen Xiaobaa, Mo Youyou will let it go? Si Lianhua and Wumahui saw you kill Wuma with their own eyes Du, why don't you check your details thoroughly, you killed the young master Hu Ansheng, after all, you can't cover it with paper, and you have become a person who must be killed by the evil king sect with the addition of old and new grievances."

Chen Xiaobaa was dumbfounded, she never thought that her unconscious action would be so important, her face paled for a while, and she asked the woman in black tremblingly, "Sister means...the one who came back this time might be taught by the evil king." One of the four elders?"

The woman in black said categorically: "It's not 'one', it's all of them.".

Seeing Chen Xiaobaa's disbelief, the woman in black went on to say: "You really don't need a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, but if anyone can take off your Chen Xiaobaa's head, Hu Ansheng and Wuma will go back and forth twice." Shame, is it possible to record the first achievement? If I remember correctly, after Juan's death, the title of "young master" should still be vacant, right? How can they not cherish such an opportunity that can be favored by the evil king Mo Youchou ?”

Recalling the martial arts taught by Xie Wang to the elders, Chen Xiaobaa couldn't help being covered in cold sweat. While counting something with his fingers, he said to himself the two names "Wumahui" and "Si Lianhua"—these two They are all terrifying people who are about to step into the "Grandmaster Realm". Even if one of them arrives, Chen Xiaobaa has no chance of surviving, let alone two of them coming together?

"Can I...be transformed into an evil ghost again?" This bold idea came to mind, Chen Xiaobaa clenched her fists on her chest with trembling hands, her palms were already covered with cold sweat, and her mind desperately recalled what happened in Dayu Village All the details, thinking about how he turned into a hell ghost at that time.

Just as Chen Xiaobaa took this as the only life-saving straw, the woman in black poured cold water on her again: "It's already impossible for you to turn into a ghost again."

Chen Xiaobaa looked up in confusion, but the woman in black didn't give any explanation, instead she added to Chen Xiaobaa: "Apart from Wu Mahui and Si Lianhua, the old friend of Monk Xuansheng, the grandson of the old man Yin and his beloved apprentice, Sun Dahao, will also come. Even if you really turned into a ghost, at most, you will fight to the death of Sun Dahao, who is the weakest in martial arts. How dare you want to be an enemy of the three "Leaving Dust Realm" masters?—— So, don't you want to go?"

Chen Xiaobaa's face was bluish, and he hesitated and said: "Let's... let's run away together, and call the merchants to go together! Tell them the truth, we... we can all disperse! Maybe... maybe……"

The woman in black said: "You, Chen Xiaobaa, are not stupid. How can you take such foolish talk of rushing to the doctor? How can the fat that is favored by the evil king's sect escape from the sea of ​​sand? It's just a waste of money if you disperse it." After a while, it is not difficult for the evil king sect to find a few people all over the sand sea, and if these merchants disperse, who will attract the attention of the evil king sect for us and delay the time to escape?"

What the woman in black said must be correct, those merchants will die sooner or later, what is the use of a woman's benevolence?Chen Xiaobaa knelt down, stretched out her hands and quietly squeezed the skirt of the black-clothed woman, as if grasping a life-saving straw, a feeling of annoyance entangled in her heart, just like the day when Zhai Yi died in Dayu Village, it made the girl feel extremely tired— ——Incompetent, incompetent, incompetent after all... Chen Xiaobaa is too incompetent in front of this cruel world, what would happen to her if she were replaced by "that woman in white"?

The woman in black caressed Chen Xiaobaa's white hair with a pair of bare hands, and she almost convinced Chen Xiaobaa that in order to survive, human beings can do anything, even a good person like Chen Xiaobaa is no exception , the black veil covered the sharp eyes of the woman in black, and just about to speak, the man with the mustache suddenly rushed into the tent and roared in a low voice: "It turns out that you are dragging down our caravan! If it weren't for you, how could the evil king sect use these things?" A soldier came to encircle us..."

This shout made Chen Xiaobaa suddenly wake up like a slap in the face, turned around and slapped the big man with a mustache on the neck, knocking out the man who was about to make a big noise, and then the woman in orange knelt on her knees and faced the black The woman in clothes kowtowed three times: "Sister, what Chen Xiaobaa owes you can only be repaid in the next life."

The woman in black said: "If you don't leave, I will die in the sea of ​​sand without moving my feet. How can you bear it, Chen Xiaobaa?"

Chen Xiaobaa couldn't help but chuckled, blinked her eyes and looked sly: "Sister, how can the wisdom of heaven and man not hold back? Liu Hongyan can be regarded as the enemy in the whole world, but only Sima Lanhua "Sister, you are alone."

Sima Lanhua, whose name was finally revealed, thought for a while, and suddenly understood why Chen Xiaobaa knew her identity, and said to herself: "Monk Xuansheng does all the unnecessary things."

In Bai Xianchen's memory, Chen Xiaobaa saw Sima Lanhua who couldn't see her face clearly. She used to be Bai Xianchen's wife, and she was a first-class and capable person in the world. It really made it difficult for Chen Xiaobaa to associate the woman in black with the name "Sima Lanhua".

When the man with the mustache drank while his thoughts were chaotic, Chen Xiaobaa just remembered this incident, and it suddenly became clear that all the doubts these days had been solved. That is Sima Lanhua without a doubt!

"Since you know my identity, why don't you ask me to save your life?" The woman in black was still indifferent: "Could it be that you know that I am Bai Xianchen's wife, so you can't get rid of this shame?"

Chen Xiaobaa muttered in a low voice: "It's an 'ex-wife'." Sima Lanhua frowned slightly, and Chen Xiaobaa continued: "Sister, sister, Chen Xiaobaa is just an ordinary person, so I can't figure out what my sister's actions mean. , but even if you and I like 'that person', I think my sister won't have any good intentions, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask my sister not to implicate innocent people like merchants and big brothers for me."

Sima Lanhua said, "You still call me 'sister'?"

"One matter is another matter." Chen Xiaobaa smiled casually, and finally turned around and left the tent after kowtowing.

This is a deadly situation. The evil king taught four masters to come out of the world, and randomly picked out one person, Chen Xiaobaa, who was not an opponent. How could she dare to die alone?

The woman in black took off the hat on her head and finally revealed the beautiful face that was so white that it looked sickly, but it was not inferior to Liu Hongyan. At the same time, the tent, the comatose mustache man, the merchants outside the tent, the bonfire, the camel, etc. Everything gradually blurred and finally turned into smoke and dissipated—all of this was just a mirage set up by Sima Lanhua?

With a wave of his hand, an old wooden wheelchair appeared out of thin air for a woman in black to ride in. Sima Lanhua fiddled with the strings of the guqin at will, and it was extremely strange to sit in the wheelchair without wind. The woman looked at the place where the orange clothes fluttered and disappeared and murmured: "This is you, Chen Xiaobaa, who is looking for death. Can you help me and save you? ——You who died young in the first world, but in this second world, you have the most fate with Bai Xianchen. How can I tolerate it?" Are you alive?"
