When the woman heard this, she crossed her arms in front of her and lowered her head shyly.
"I was just…guessing."
Chen Qingmi said.
"How many more miles before we reach the town?”
The girl replied,
"There's still over fifty li to go."
Chen Qingmi smiled and said,
"Come, give me your hand."
The girl raised her hands, and Chen Qingmi took out a tael of silver and handed it to her.
"You've succeeded. This is the silver you stole. Go home, little sister."
The girl held the silver and nodded happily. At this moment, Xiong Zhengying walked up to the girl and snatched the silver.
"You're learning how to rob others at such a young age.”
After saying that, he put the silver into his arms.
Chen Qingmi shook her head helplessly.
"Why did you steal my money?"
Xiong Zhengying smiled and said,
"What do you mean by robbing your money? Didn't you rob this money? If you have the ability, then snatch it back!"
"Good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Zheng Ying felt a strong wind hit him and he staggered. When Xiong Zheng Ying stood still, the silver was already in the girl's hand. Not only Xiong Zheng Ying, Chen Qing Mi, Xia Xue Yan, and Lei Yin were all secretly amazed. Xia Xue Yan was deeply shocked by this girl's sudden leap. Judging from her age, she should not be much different from her, but her lightness skill was really different from hers. Otherwise, her uncle would always say that martial artists should wander more. Otherwise, they would be as arrogant as a frog at the bottom of a well. However, she thought that no matter how good her kung fu was, it was only good for escaping. In terms of sword skills, she was confident that she could defeat this girl.
Xiong Zhengying was stunned and immediately changed his smile.
"Little sister is really amazing, haha, haha, take it, take it!"
The girl scornfully threw the silver on the ground and said,
"Who cares about your silver? I'm angry. I want your coffins now. Leave it and you can leave."
Xiong Zhengying smiled and said,
"Little girl, you're really amazing. Haha, big brother is just joking with you."
The girl said unhappily,
"You just told me to get lost. You are so rude. I want your coffins. You can leave and come back tomorrow."
Xia Xueyan said seriously,
"You're not old and your tone is not small. How can you be polite when you block our way for no reason? You even want us to leave the coffin behind. Do you think I'm nothing?”
The girl stammered,
"Then…then I followed the rules and didn't say anything rude."
Xia Xueyan smiled and said,
"What a pretentious woman. You were rude first and then blamed us for being rude. You are really hypocritical and ridiculous."
"You! I…I'm not talking to you, leave the coffin behind and you guys can leave."
The girl hugged her sword and turned around, unwilling to face Xia Xueyan.
Xia Xueyan snorted coldly and said,
"Then let's see if you have the ability. Why don't we have a competition?”
The girl turned around and cupped her fists.
"Alright, please guide me."
Xia Xueyan said disdainfully.
"I dare not advise you. Take off your veil. I, Xia Xueyan, do not fight with people who are afraid of stealing."
The girl took off her veil, attracting Xiong Zheng Ying's attention.
"What a beautiful woman!"
Xia Xueyan glanced at him coldly and hurriedly changed his words.
"It's just so-so ~"
The girl cupped her fists and said,"I am…" Before she could finish speaking, Xia Xueyan interrupted her.
"Who you are has nothing to do with me. Attack!"
After the two of them bowed, they faced each other coldly. Xia Xueyan understood that this girl's lightness skill was high and her body movement was fast. It was not suitable to fight with her. She stood like a pine tree and waited for her to move first before using the mental cultivation method taught by her master. Fast can beat fast, slow can also control fast. Suddenly, the woman suddenly subdued her, as fast as a falcon. Xia Xue Yan was caught in a daze and was caught in close proximity. When she raised her sword, she pressed it against her throat. However, the girl slowly stepped back and gave way to her body. Xia Xue Yan was furious and drew her sword to attack. She gave a command and first stopped her momentum before suddenly launching it. The wind swept away the wood and attacked her lower body, stirring up dust. The girl took a step and leaped into the air. This was exactly what Xia Xue Yan wanted. The air was big but also a prison. She raised her sword and used Falling Leaves Distraction. She was confident that she would win without hurting anyone. Who knew that the girl would suddenly stop in mid-air and let her sword fall down again. Xia Xueyan's sword stopped and there was no way to turn back. The sword was at her throat again. The girl bowed and said,
"Thank you."
"You didn't concede, and I didn't concede either. What concede? Let's compete again."
The girl said.
"No need. I know your depth. You're not my match."
Xiong Zhengying said proudly,
"Big talk, do you know that she is Li Ruonan's only disciple?”
The girl said solemnly.
"Ah! Really? Forgive my disrespect."
Xia Xueyan gritted her teeth and said word by word,
"Let's compete again!"
The girl said.
"Alright…"
Xia Xueyan said,
"We agreed that we would only compete in sword techniques."
The girl nodded and said,
"Sure," he said.
The two of them cupped their fists and bowed. Xia Xueyan raised one hand and two fingers in front of her nose, and the other hand suddenly unleashed her swordsmanship. The sword was held on her shoulder and stabbed out. Gradually, the momentum was like a rain. It was Li Ruonan's Storm Sword Rain Technique. Xiong Zhengying was dumbfounded. He saw that the girl was still trapped in the sword's momentum and was still like a wooden log. He saw the girl slowly raise her sword and integrate it into the sword's momentum. The sword touched the sword, and she approached and retreated. She first followed the sword's momentum, and then led the sword to draw a circle. The two swords, which had grown from small to large, buzzed as they clashed. The girl's sword flicked Xia Xueyan's sword and flew out of her hand.
Xia Xueyan gritted her teeth in anger but was helpless. She stood up with her fists clenched in embarrassment. At this moment, Yang Fan put down the coffin carriage and walked over. His sweat had just been blown dry by the bright spring breeze, and his skin was yellow from the sun. He used the most ordinary tone to say to the girl,
"Come, Shortie, let's compete!"
When Yang Fan said this, Xia Xue Yan and the others felt their hearts tremble.
The girl blushed and said,
"You! Why are you scolding me! I didn't offend you."
Yang Fan said.
"Shortie? Is this considered scolding you…"
The girl looked aggrieved.
"How can it not count! Apologize to me!"
Yang Fan: "Beat me first."
The girl said angrily,
"Please guide me!"
He still cupped his fists and bowed to Yang Fan. Yang Fan nodded back. The sky was dark and the clouds were about to stop. The shadow was like a candle. Ten feet away, a shadow suddenly disappeared and then appeared, flashing like stars.
"You've lost!"
"Not yet."
"My sword will reach your throat!"
"There's still a lot to go."
"A lot?"
"Yeah," she said.
Yang Fan took a step forward and pointed her sword at her throat. A strange smile appeared on her face. She had yet to lift her sword into the air. She flew very slowly and floated very lightly. She did not have time to think. She was still unwilling to admit defeat. She jumped up and Lei Yin raised his palms into the sky. The sword flew mysteriously and landed in the distance.
The woman was secretly surprised. What a fierce palm wind and a fast saber. She calmly lowered her head and said,
"I lost!"
Yang Fan went back to pull up the coffin cart,
"Let's go."
Lei Yin said. The group of them set off again, and one of them had hope rekindled.
At night, Lei Yin set up a stove to boil a pot of wild soup. Chen Qingmi scooped rice for them, talking and laughing. After scooping for them, she carried two bowls and said,
"I'll send it to them."
Lei Yin nodded and smiled.
"Alright," she said.
Xia Xueyan was still immersed in the competition in the afternoon. Xiong Zheng Ying kept shaking his head at the bowl, and Lei Yin was happy to do so.
"It's time to eat!"
Chen Qingmi shouted to send it to Yang Fan and Ren Pingsheng. In the remaining months, Yang Fan accompanied the person in the coffin and learned that his name was Ren Pingsheng. Yang Fan felt that he was a very strange person. As long as he took off his mouth, he would talk non-stop. Chen Qingmi felt that these two people were a perfect match. One was eloquent, and the other was silent. In fact, Yang Fan would usually fall asleep under Ren Pingsheng's words.
"For you, Brother Yang."
Yang Fan nodded and took the bowl. Ren Ping Sheng said,
"I'm not eating! What the hell is this! How can this enter my mouth?"
Chen Qingmi smiled and said,
"I thought of another couplet. If you match it, you don't have to eat it."
Ren Pingsheng said proudly,
"Hah! A mere girl still doesn't give up and still dares to write a couplet for this scholar. Come on!”
Chen Qingmi pointed to the river path at the foot of the mountain.
"The moon in the river, the moon on the lake, two months in the Jianghu."
Ren Pingsheng said,
"Simple, uh…but I'm a little hungry now."
Because Ren Pingsheng had his hands and feet tied, Chen Qingmi fed him the bowl by his mouth. Chen Qingmi said to Yang Fan,
"Brother Yang, how about I give you a couplet?”
"I don't know how to…"
Ren Pingsheng said,
"Give him a simple one."
Chen Qingmi said.
"Mm, listen well. The child hits the tung seed, the tung seed falls, and the child is happy."
Ren Pingsheng smiled and said,
"I can casually say eight or ten pairs of couplets to him."
Chen Qingmi rebuked,
"This is for others."
Ren Pingsheng nodded and said,
"Oh, oh, but aren't you making things difficult for my dumb brother by playing this pair?"
Chen Qingmi said.
"How do you know he won't?"
Yang Fan pondered for a moment and said,
" Confucius drilled a hole, Confucius hole, Confucius pain."
Ren Pingsheng shook his head and said,
"Not good, not good, it's not right."
Chen Qingmi retorted,
"I think it's not bad. It's even more difficult to match this couplet with two words. Why don't you use Brother Yang's couplet as the first couplet and match it with another couplet?”
Ren Pingsheng thought about it and said,
"Uh ~ I'm eating porridge. I don't talk when I eat or sleep."
Chen Qingmi smiled and said,
"Alright, alright."
She fed Ren Pingsheng again and smiled at Yang Fan.
"Brother Yang, how about I give you another couplet? The North and South aren't above."
Yang Fan's eyes flashed.
"Your Excellency is not a thing."
When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he laughed and spat out a mouthful of porridge. Chen Qingmi covered her face and laughed so hard that she was swaying back and forth. She put down her bowl and hurriedly ran to Xia Xueyan and the others. She squatted down and talked to them with a smile.
Ren Pingsheng's unfinished Dao
"Didn't you say that you didn't go to a private school?”
Yang Fan: " Yes, my grandfather taught me a little."
Yang Fan found it very interesting to see them in high spirits. He felt that this was like a big family. Lei Yin was like a father who knew everything, Chen Qingmi was like a mother who knew how to take care of everyone's mood, and Ren Pingsheng was the most willful and ignorant child.
Ren Pingsheng lowered his voice and said,
"Hey, hey, they're not here now. Are you really not going to let me out? Think about it again, say something to you, you impolite fellow!"
Yang Fan only looked at the sky and did not speak.
……
This group of people who were supposed to be escorting the funeral had changed a little over the past two days. They had an extra tail.
Lei Yin whispered to Yang Fan,
"Brother Yang, it's not a good idea to let her follow us like this."
Yang Fan put down the coffin carriage with a haggard face and walked to the girl. He gritted his teeth and said,
"What exactly do you want?"
The girl said.
"I just want to compete with you again."
Yang Fan said.
"I've told you many times, I'm not a martial arts expert, I'm just an ordinary trash, okay? I was just lucky to win against you that time. I just calculated that you were kind and didn't want to hurt me, and I shamelessly took the initiative to attack you, causing you to panic. That's why I took advantage of your opportunity. I'm sorry, I deserve to die."
The girl thought for a moment and said,
"I've thought about this question, that's why I want to officially compete with you again."
Yang Fan stretched out a finger and said with sorrow and hatred,
"The last time."
The girl bowed again.
"Please guide me."
As a result, Yang Fan was kicked to the ground before he could even last a round. He got up and said fiercely to the girl,
"Satisfied?"
The girl shook her head and said,
"You didn't use your full strength."
Yang Fan finally couldn't hold back his anger and said,
" I didn't use my full strength!!?"
He tried his best to punch the girl, but she easily dodged him and said angrily,
"Do you know how much I want to kill you? But I can't do it, I really can't do it."
The girl said.
"Why didn't you use a knife?"
Yang Fan said.
"What does it have to do with you?"
The girl frowned and said,
"You're swearing again. This is not good behavior."
Yang Fan said ruthlessly,
" It's none of your business. Are you satisfied now?"
The girl said.
"Then why did you use it?"
Yang Fan said.
"Me!"
The girl tilted her head and said,
"Why?"
Yang Fan said.
"Me! Me! It was me! I'm afraid I'll hack you to death!"
The girl immediately got into a stance
"You really have a trump card. Come on!"
Yang Fan's face was as pale as wood, and his heart was as dead as ashes. He lowered his head and pulled up the coffin carriage without saying a word. His sorrowful expression would definitely make passers-by feel moved to show his filial piety.
Yang Fan said dejectedly,"I tried my best."
Lei Yin nodded his head in pain and said,
"I know."
Xiong Zhengying sighed.
"Sigh, Yang Fan is really pitiful. He has to be beaten up every day…Look, look, she went to Yang Fan again. I think Yang Fan will go crazy in just one more day."
"Hello, what's your name?"
The girl looked at Yang Fan and said,
Yang Fan said unhappily,
"Shut you... What is it?"
The girl said.
"I just wanted to ask. I don't know how to call you after knowing you for a few days."
Yang Fan wondered,
"Who knows you? Don't flatter yourself, okay?”
The girl said.
" Oh, then what's your name?"
Yang Fan frowned and said,
"What's your name?"
The girl replied,"My name is Ye Xun."
Yang Fan said coldly,
"Hello, Ye Xun."
Ye Xun,"Hello."
After a while, Yang Fanwu said angrily,
"Can you stop staring at me?"
Ye Xun,"You haven't told me your name yet."
Yang Fan: " Can I not tell you?”
"Why?" Ye Xun asked.
Yang Fan was annoyed." What's the reason? I just don't want to tell you. Do you think that just because you ask others, they have to tell you?"”
Ye Xun turned to look at Xia Xueyan and the others. The few of them hurriedly said,
"Xia Xueyan!"
"Thunder Concealment!"
"Ni Fuqing!"
"My name is Chen Qingmi, how are you?"
Everyone looked at Xiong Zhengying with disdain. Only he was content.
Ye Xun said to Yang Fan,
"They told me everything."
Yang Fan said.
"None of my business!"
Ye Xun: "Why do you like to swear?"
Yang Fan: "None of your business."
"Do you know that this is very impolite behavior?"”
Yang Fan: "None of your business."
"Then will you tell me your name?"”
Yang Fan said ruthlessly,
"I won't!"
Ye Xun stared at him with wide eyes.
"Why?"
Xiong Zhengying shook his head and said,
"I think in less than a day, Yang Fan will go crazy immediately."
Yang Fan also stared at her and said,
"Because I hate you, okay?"
Ye Xun,"But…why?"
Yang Fan: " What do you mean why? I just hate you, okay? Just like how you hate impolite people, and I'm impolite. I'm naturally impolite."
Ye Xun said," No, I don't like rude people, but I don't hate you. It would be even better if you could change."
Yang Fan looked as if he had lost his parents. Ye Xun continued,
"So?"
"So what?"
Ye Xun said,"You seem to be trying to reason with me, but I don't understand."
Yang Fan: " I'm sorry, I was wrong. I didn't want to reason with you."
"Oh, then why do you hate me?"”
Yang Fan wailed.
"Good! You want a reason, right? Because you're short, okay? Are you satisfied?"
Ye Xun looked up at everyone. The shortest among them, Xia Xueyan, was half a head taller than her. Yang Fan and Lei Yin were a full head taller than her, not to mention the handsome and tall Xiong Zhengying. She could not even reach his shoulders.
Ye Xun lowered his head and said,"But I don't think there's anything wrong with being short."
Yang Fan said,"Being short is a sin. Being short deserves to die."
Ye Xun was puzzled.
"Why?"
Yang Fan said,"Alright, listen up. What do we call the highest grain in the five grains?"”
Ye Xun thought for a moment and said,
"I know! It's Sorghums!"
Yang Fan said,"Yes, it's kaoliang. What about the shortest one?"”
Ye Xun thought about it and shook his head.
"I don't know, what is it?"
Yang Fan said," I don't know either. No one cares who the shortest is. Let it die. What words do we use to praise a person's strategy?”
"I know!" Ye Xun answered quickly. It's Gao Ming!"
Yang Fan: " You can say that people are in a good mood?”
"I'm happy!"
Yang Fan: " Is your martial arts special…?"”
"Superb!"
Yang Fan: "Come, give me a short compliment."
Ye Xun thought for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't know…"
Yang Fan said.
"Of course you don't know. No one would use short to praise someone because everyone hates the word short. Do you understand? Everyone hates dwarves."
Yang Fan: "What is tall?"
Ye Xun changed his expression and said,"Guangbo."
Yang Fan,"The high house is right ~"
Ye Xun,"Guangsha."
"What about the low house?"
Ye Xun replied,"Humble room."
Yang Fan: " Do you understand now? Short is ugly. Let me ask you again, why was the previous emperor destroyed by the current emperor?"
Ye Xun said," It started from the internal strife. Famine occurred in many places. In order to relieve the famine, the national treasury was empty and they had to sell their official positions. The ones who offered the highest price were mostly the southern merchants. The merchants were those who pursued profits. They spent money to recover their capital, so it would cause corruption to increase. Moreover, because Jiangnan was an important tax area, it was even more difficult to recover the tax. The reason for its destruction could only be said to be that it was guided by the situation. It was imperceptible. Only after a great collapse could it be established. This is the way of the three kings. It is the result of the cycle of the Heavenly Dao."
Yang Fan nodded and said," Uh, you're right. But what I'm asking you is, why was the emperor of the previous dynasty destroyed by this dynasty?" Can't you think about the emperor? Isn't he responsible?"
"Actually, he's not a bad emperor. It's just that the general trend is going to happen," Ye Xun said.
"That's right!" Yang Fan said. I just wanted to say that there were so many bad emperors in the previous dynasty. Why did such a good emperor like him end up being so unlucky as to become the ruler of a subjugated country?"
Ye Xun shook his head.
"I don't know…"
Yang Fan's gaze was focused on him.
"You really don't know? Think about it carefully."
"Is it because he's short?" Ye Xun asked with red eyes.”
Yang Fan: It was because he was short! Even the heavens didn't like dwarves, and everyone in the world hated dwarves!”
Ye Xun said.
"But how do you know he's short?"
Yang Fan smiled and said," Do you still need to think about it? What temple name did the founding emperor of this dynasty use?"”
"Great Ancestor," Ye Xun said.
Yang Fan said,"Right, now you understand why short people should be hated."
Ye Xun blinked and teared up,"But I'm only sixteen and still the president!"
Yang Fan sneered." You're already sixteen and you still have a fart to grow? Ask them if girls can still grow at sixteen?"”
Xia Xueyan shrugged,"I was already this tall when I was fifteen, and I haven't grown since."
Xiong Zhengying said," I have three younger sisters. Each of them is sixteen and won't grow any longer. My father always wants to strangle the shortest one to death because it's really embarrassing for the family. She's only a little taller than you."
Yang Fan said,"You must be the one at home who doesn't want to play with you and is despised and hated, right?"”
Ye Xun wiped his tears." That's not true. My father sent me to Master because he wanted me to learn more skills."
Yang Fan said,"Oh, so he was directly abandoned."
Ye Xun whimpered and argued,"Of course not. My family loves me very much. They love and care for me."
Yang Fan: " I guess only you were sent out. Are they having fun at home?"”
Ye Xun wept silently. Yang Fan said," I guessed it right. Your family doesn't seem to be short of money. Then why did they send you out?" The conclusion was that they coaxed and lied to you because they were annoyed and disgusted with you. Girls would study and practice martial arts. Did they want you to be the top scholar or a general? Was that possible?”
"Nonsense!"
Ye Xun cried and fled. Chen Qingmi said,"Brother Yang, aren't your words a little too harsh? She looks so pitiful."
Yang Fan said,"Let's go. If she comes back, you'll pity me again."
... Night
Ren Pingsheng: " You're good, kid. You're usually quiet, but you're quite talkative at a critical moment."
Yang Fan said," Then what should we do? We can't beat them, we can't chase them away. Even if a rabbit is forced into a corner, it has to bark twice."
Ren Pingsheng said," But to be honest, that girl really has some knowledge. With her words in the afternoon, she could have won the exam with a strategy paper. However, the premise is that I'm not among them. It's a pity that she's a woman. Otherwise, I really want to have a drink with her. By the way, I'm very curious. How did you guess that the girl was abandoned at home?”
Yang Fan said," Of course. I don't know anything at the age of sixteen. Do you think she has the time to play?"”
Ren Pingsheng: " That's not necessarily true. I was already a high school juren when I was fourteen. I was already a court official when I was sixteen."
"No wonder you two are so…"
Ren Pingsheng looked at him sideways,"Then what?"”
"Impressive!"
