Chapter 144 Reward
Zhang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, took out his beloved little sword from his bosom, and handed it to Yu Lao.
Yu Lao stretched out his hand to pick it up, and felt his hand sinking, he couldn't help but frowned, after he looked at this ordinary little sword carefully, he didn't find anything special, he even poured in his internal energy, hoping to find something, but it's a pity he It didn't have Li Jian's ability to display the sword light, and the little sword didn't respond. It seemed that apart from being heavy, the little sword was just a toy.
Yu Lao shook his head, still looking left and right, but didn't return it to Zhang Xiaohua, hoping to discover something mysterious from it.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Yu Lao eagerly, and couldn't help asking: "Yu Lao, don't you want to pay me back?"
Yu Lao took a look at Zhang Xiaohua and said with a smile, "Yes, this toy is really good. It can even pierce the iron shirt of the man in black. Of course I want to keep it for fun."
Zhang Xiaohua shrugged, and said helplessly: "Since Mr. Yu likes it, I really want to give it to you. Alas, it's a pity. When I was rescued, I had nothing to thank him, so I gave this little sword to you." Even if I want to send you off now, it won't work."
Yu Lao glared at Zhang Xiaohua, and said, "Who are you fooling? Who wants this thing. Don't play tricks, I don't intend to take your things."
At this moment, Ou Yan also stepped forward and asked curiously, "Is this the thing that stabbed the man in black to death?"
He Tianshu also came to the front and said: "Yes, it is this little sword. The wound should be the same as the throat of the old man in black. It was also given to me when I bought the steel sword."
Ouyan wanted to take it over for a closer look, but Yu Lao said: "The owner should not take it by himself. Although this little sword looks like a toy, it is not light. I still took it. You should take a closer look."
Ou Yan was a good follower, she just leaned in front of the little sword, frowned and looked at it, she was also puzzled, and said: "Although I have a limited physique, I can't practice martial arts, but I read a lot of books, but I have never heard of it. Where is there any record of this magical weapon?"
Yu Lao stretched out his hand to touch the tip of the little sword a few times, he was even more surprised, and said: "This little sword obviously doesn't have a sharp edge, how can it penetrate the body?"
He Tianshu also said: "Yes, when I saw the wound of the man in black, I also thought the same way. I gave Zhang Xiaohua the sword, and I also remember that there was no opening."
Yu Lao thought for a while, then turned to Zhang Xiaohua and asked, "Did you really use this little sword to kill the man in black?"
Zhang Xiaohua nodded helplessly again and gave an affirmative answer.
Yu Lao threw the little sword to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "How about it, Zhang Xiaohua, you stab me with the sword, just like you stabbed the man in black back then."
Zhang Xiaohua and the others were shocked when they heard this, and said in unison: "This is not right!"
Ou Yan said: "Old Yu, why do you have to be so serious? You just need to know that this little sword has made merit, and you don't have to know its power."
Zhang Xiaohua also shook her head and said: "Old Yu, aside from the fact that the atmosphere is different now, I have already forgotten how to use the sword move that day, and if I accidentally hurt you, I really can't bear it. "
He Tianshu also dissuaded him: "Old Yu, if I say something inappropriate, the man in black may not be as powerful as your old man, but the kung fu of the iron cloth shirt is indeed top-notch, even Changge's sword can't penetrate it, what do you think? Can you stab Changge with a sword empty-handed without getting hurt?"
Yu Lao thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I taught Zhang Xiaohua this sword move. Naturally, I am happy to have made great achievements in the rainy night, but the power of this sword move exceeded my expectations. I really want to know the reason."
Everyone was still shaking their heads, but at this time Qiu Tong interjected: "Why don't you, Yulao, let Zhang Xiaohua continue to use his sword moves, but how about letting him use half of his strength? It must be fine."
Except for Zhang Xiaohua, everyone else showed approval.
To be honest, when Zhang Xiaohua practiced this sword move, she never thought of fighting with others.
The angle of this sword move is tricky, and the emergence of the warm current is beyond his control, as long as the speed is fixed, it will appear. Zhang Xiaohua has experience in the power of that force, and he guesses Yu Lao may not be able to handle it.
But if he really said that, he would definitely offend Yu Lao greatly. He has just practiced for a few months, so how could he be so proud?
Another question is, if it is as Qiutong said, why is half of the strength used? My left hand is already used to the speed of that sword move. As long as the speed is reached, even if I use half the strength, the warm current will still appear, and the power of the small sword will not decrease. I am not willing to take this risk.
Zhang Xiaohua was about to shake her head to object, when suddenly her eyes lit up, she thought of a way, and said with a smile: "Okay, then follow what sister Qiutong said, I will use half of my strength, how about you try my trick? But , Well, it’s all right, if this move doesn’t work, the other moves are also normal.”
Yu Lao smiled and said, "Okay, let's try this trick."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Yu went out first, and everyone followed suit, only Zhang Xiaohua walked last with a sad face.
In the middle of the yard is a rather wide path.
Yu Lao and Zhang Xiaohua stood opposite each other, Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Yu Lao, are you ready, I'll start now."
Yu Lao said with a smile: "Okay, you can do it, I will continue here."
Zhang Xiaohua was still worried, and asked again: "Old Yu, you really want me to do it, don't you think about it?"
Yu Lao laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, do it, I taught you that sword move, what should I be afraid of you? Just let the horse come over."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua put his right hand over his sword and shouted: "Look at the move." Holding the small sword in his right hand, he used the sword move that assassinated the black-clothed old man that day, and the small sword pierced towards the old man in black like a shooting star from a mysterious angle. Yu Lao's throat.
To be honest, this sword move is powerful. He Tianshu, who was watching from the side, was a little surprised. He had never seen Zhang Xiaohua practicing swords before. Today, he saw that this sword move is really proficient. The angle, strength, and precision It's almost impeccable, and I can't help but feel a little sweat for Yu Lao.
But Mr. Yu is calm and joking, this sword move was originally given to Zhang Xiaohua by him, the changes in the sword move, the angle of penetration of the small sword, and the trajectory of the movement, he has long been aware of it, and he has not yet decided on the small sword. As the sword approached, his body reacted naturally.
When the little sword stabbed in front of his eyes, Yu Lao just reached forward with his bare hands and grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's wrist. If the enemy grabbed his wrist at this time, Zhang Xiaohua must have struggled with luck, but now it was a trial move, and he was very nervous. Naturally, he stopped and looked at Yu Lao to see what he would do.
Yu Lao was also depressed, and said: "Is this the way to assassinate? It's very common."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "That's the trick, I'm sure of it."
Yu Lao looked at the others. Since He Tianshu was far away that night, he didn't look carefully, so he wasn't sure. Ou Yan and Qiu Tong were in an emergency. How did they notice this?
Seeing that everyone was not sure, Yu Lao let go of his hand and said, "Then you can try other changes."
Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to take the small sword and use the changes of the moves learned by her right hand one by one, but in the end, she was always caught by Yu Lao's one-arm.
Yu Lao still felt dissatisfied, and said, "What if you use all your strength?"
After everyone heard this, they still objected, but Zhang Xiaohua thought in her heart: "If I use my right hand, I think I can catch it with all my strength."
Yu Lao said depressedly: "If we don't use all our strength, we don't know the power of this sword."
He Tianshu smiled and said, "It's not easy? You can use the big tree in the courtyard to try it."
Yu Lao smiled and said: "Haha, He Tianshu is telling the truth, I'm on the edge of a dead end, come on, let the big tree try."
In a corner of the courtyard, there was a big tree with two people hugging each other. Yu Lao walked under the tree and said to Ouyan with a smile: "Master, how about using this tree as an experiment?"
Ou Yan smiled and said: "But it can't be tried, just don't kill it."
Yu Lao turned to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, stab this big tree with all your strength."
Zhang Xiaohua slandered for a while: "This big tree is also a life. Why don't you have any love for protecting the environment? I usually don't even want to hurt flowers and plants when I practice swords. You instructed me to do such bad things."
Zhang Xiaohua walked under the big tree, still using the change of the same move, using all the strength of her whole body, stabbing at the big tree, Zhang Xiaohua's strength of 500 jin in one arm was not for nothing, just heard the sound of "puchi" , stabbed the little iron rod-like sword into the big tree for more than three or four inches.
Although this result is very impressive, Yu Lao is not satisfied. The sharp sword point can also produce such an effect, but Changge's sword point did not tear the iron shirt of the old man in black.
So, he wanted to pass the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua's hand again, and he did it himself, grasped the small sword vigorously, and stabbed at the big tree with all his strength, with a sound of "pushing", the sword pierced into the big tree, and penetrated a small length of the tip of the small sword. It is no different from ordinary iron rods.
Yu Lao drew out his small sword, looked at the small shallow hole in the big tree, said nothing, turned to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, your strength is not weak, I can't stab it as deep as you."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Don't dare, Yu Lao, I'm still young."
This trick was tried many times, but without satisfactory results, everyone used their superhuman imagination to attribute Zhang Xiaohua's success in assassinating the black-clothed old man to carelessness.
It must be that the old man in black saw Zhang Xiaohua's small sword as thick as an iron rod and didn't attract people's attention. He thought that Zhang Xiaohua didn't know much about martial arts, so he didn't use a lot of skill to block it. He just blocked it with his palm, but when When Zhang Xiaohua found out that Zhang Xiaohua's arm had superhuman strength, it was too late to use his kung fu, and the throat of the old man in black was probably the door of the iron shirt, which was easy to be injured. When he was hit by Zhang Xiaohua's small sword, he hit the vital point at once , Tore the iron cloth shirt.
After everyone's scrutiny, come to such a conclusion, everyone thinks it is the truth, why? Just look at the expression of the old man in black, don't you know it?
Carelessness kills people.
details make a difference.
Now that the conclusion was reached, everyone stopped discussing this topic, and everyone returned to the hall. Yu Lao returned the small sword to Zhang Xiaohua, who carefully hid it in his arms, deliberately sitting a long distance away from Yu Lao. distance.
Everyone chatted for a while, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly remembered something, and asked Ouyan: "Sister Ou, I have a question for you."
Ou Yan wondered: "What's the matter, Xiaohua, but it's okay to say."
"Us, is there any subsidy for us to go far away?" Zhang Xiaohua asked weakly: "Or, after I was injured, during the period when I was away from you, is there any subsidy for daily board and lodging in our villa?" ?”
Ouyan was shocked, she and Qiutong exchanged glances, and said, "Xiao Hua, what do you mean by that? Can you explain a little more clearly?"
With a blushing face, Zhang Xiaohua told the story about the head of the Lotus Bodyguard Agency, Luo Dabao, who asked Zhang Xiaohu for living expenses. Ouyan's face turned pale, and she was about to speak, but Qiu Tong said first: "Miss, don't be angry, I will not be angry about this matter." Let's deal with it, when I have time, I will go to the Escort Bureau to find Fourth Master Wen and explain the matter clearly."
Ouyan let out a long breath and said, "Okay, I can rest assured that you will handle the matter."
Then, she smiled and said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, you don't have to worry about this matter, we will handle it."
Zhang Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "My second brother doesn't have much monthly money, if he pays for my board and lodging, I guess this trip will be in vain."
Halo~ He forgot about the pile of money bags? !
After hearing this, Ouyan also remembered something, and said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, wait a moment."
After finishing speaking, he went out, and after a while, he came back with a small wooden box, handed it to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, this was prepared for you a while ago, now that you are back, I will give it to you."
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, hesitated for a moment, took it, opened it casually, and suddenly became a copy of Zhang Xiaohu from last night, and asked in surprise: "Sister Ou, so many bank notes? Are they for me?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's surprised look, everyone giggled, Qiutong explained: "This is the pension for your death. It was personally designated by the leader of our Misty Sect, Ou Da. It was originally three hundred taels, but Leader Ou Da thought it was too little, so he directly added it to 5,000 taels, but our lady still thought it was too little, so I took another 5,000 taels from the villa and rounded it up for your family."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the banknote, blinked and said, "I never thought that I could be worth so much silver. The pile of silver is probably higher than me, and heavier than me."
Everyone laughed and said, "That's for sure!"
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while, then closed the wooden box again, returned it to Ouyan, and said, "Sister Ou, you treat me so well, in my heart you are just like my former sister Qianqian. Naturally, I will come forward, just like saving my family, besides, I have nothing to do here, and I have not 'dedicated myself', so I can't take this money."
Zhang Xiaohua's behavior was beyond Ou Yan's expectation, she asked in disbelief: "Xiaohua, this is ten thousand taels of silver, you really don't want it?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Sister Ou, to be honest, let alone ten thousand taels of silver, I have never seen a hundred taels of silver, but this is the pension you gave. If I really die, maybe you can give it to me." family, but I’m fine now, so I can’t accept it.”
Ou Yan thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, after all, you saved my life. To be honest, your sister Ou's life is very precious, far more than these silver bills. I will treat these silver bills as if I gave them to you." How about your thank you?"
Zhang Xiaohua still refused, saying: "Sister Ou, didn't you just say that I save you just like saving my own family, do you think my family can give me money?"
One wanted to be given away, but one was not accepted. After pushing and pushing for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to open the small wooden box again, and said, "Sister Ou, how about this, I accept your wish."
After finishing speaking, he took out a one hundred taels of silver note from the wooden box, put it in his arms, and continued: "This one hundred taels of silver is as important to me as 10,000 taels of silver is to Sister Ou's heart." Yes, if I accept this one hundred taels, it means that I have accepted the ten thousand taels in Sister Ou's heart, do you think it's okay?"
After hearing this, Ouyan's eyes lit up, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Xiaohua, you have a lot of tricks, well, if that's the case, my sister won't force you anymore, but you have to remember, you just said Treat me as your family member, then I will treat you as family member in the future, I hope you will really treat me as your sister in the future."
Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "Sister Ou, I really wish for you as the owner's sister."
After hearing this, Ouyan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Just know, sister will not treat you badly in the future."
Afterwards, he said to Qiutong: "Turn back and tell the accountant of the villa, Xiaohua's monthly money..."
Ouyan thought for a while, but didn't say a specific figure. Qiutong knew that Ouyan didn't know the amount of the monthly payment of the villa, so she smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this lady. Since Xiaohua is in our villa, she won't be in the future." It will reduce his money, I think we should give him three taels of silver a month first, anyway, his food and clothing are all in the villa, and he is only pocket money, even if it is for the family, it is enough, too much is not enough OK."
When Zhang Xiaohua heard that this month's money had increased tenfold, she was naturally happy from ear to ear. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua was happy, Ouyan agreed without any opinion. Then he said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, what do you want to do in the villa in the future? Let Qiutong arrange it for you."
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while, and said: "I'd better follow Captain He. One can learn boxing, and the other can learn how to grow herbs, and I can help my sister solve some difficulties."
Ouyan smiled and said: "Could it be that Xiaohua still thinks about her sister, then it's up to you."
Then he said to He Tianshu: "From now on, I'd like to trouble Captain He to take Xiaohua well, so that he doesn't have to be too restrictive in his actions. If he wants to read, let him read, if he wants to practice boxing, let him practice boxing. How about it?"
He Tianshu smiled and said: "I would like to follow the owner's wishes, Zhang Xiaohua is a very good child, so I don't need to take care of her."
Yu Lao also said with a smile: "Zhang Xiaohua is also top-notch in her boxing practice, which is really good."
Everyone's praise made Zhang Xiaohua very uncomfortable. He scratched his head and said helplessly: "Is it really good for me? How come I never found out?"
Just as he was speaking, he heard his stomach rumbling.
Zhang Xiaohua blushed again, and said: "Sister Ou, I've been talking all morning, do I still have breakfast? I haven't eaten the food in the villa for a long time, and I really miss it."
Everyone laughed.
