National color raw owl

The long street was deserted. Manager Wu walked along the long street with Xiao Ding, and it was difficult to see pedestrians. He turned into an alley and had to cross the alley to reach another street. This alley was rather dark, and he had not reached the entrance of the alley , and saw a figure coming towards him from the opposite side.

Manager Wu didn't care, and when he got closer, he felt that something was wrong. The person coming towards him was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, with the brim of the hat pressed down. In the dark alley, he couldn't see the person's face clearly for a while. , I saw that he was holding a package in his right hand. The coarse cloth package was long in shape, and it was naturally wrapped with something.

Glancing at the package, Manager Wu felt that something was wrong, the man gradually approached, Manager Wu became alert, and lowered his voice: "Xiao Ding, something is wrong...!"

Xiao Ding is a martial artist from the Peacock Stage. He would go up to the stage to praise martial arts. He usually acts as a guard and attendant. His subordinates are really capable. It came very suddenly, Manager Wu hurriedly turned his head, but saw Xiao Ding who was following behind him, and fell to the ground without a sound.

He was taken aback, but he had already seen a figure slowly approaching from behind him, this person simply held a knife in his right hand.

Manager Wu was sweating on his forehead, and the person who was coming towards him stopped and slowly opened the package, revealing a big knife inside.

"I don't know what advice you two heroes have?" Director Wu didn't know how Xiao Ding fell, and he didn't have time to see if he was dead or alive. If there is something that offends you two, please forgive me and don't take it to heart." He took out a money bag from his bosom, "Here is some silver taels, you two take it for a cup of tea, everyone is walking in the rivers and lakes, be a How are your friends?"

The person facing him sneered and said harshly: "These money, are you going to send the beggar? Are you the manager of the Peacock Terrace?"

Manager Wu was taken aback, but he forced a smile and said, "I'm Wu Shizhao, what do you call me?"

"If I tell you your name, what the hell are you going to do?" The man said harshly, "It is said that Jinling Que from Peacock Terrace is the number one dancer in Jinling, so naturally she has saved a lot of money. Are you Her cronies, if you exchange your life for tens of thousands of taels of silver, I don't think Jinlingque will be reluctant, right?"

Manager Wu hurriedly said, "You two were joking."

"Who is joking with you?" The man said in a deep voice: "Squat down obediently, we are here to tie you up, don't talk nonsense, if you alarm others, we know you, not the knife." At this time, a voice was heard from mid-air: "Black and white ghosts, are you doing evil again?"

Manager Wu was startled, and raised his head according to the sound, only to find that there was a person sitting on the edge of the roof beside the alley at some point. The person was sitting on the edge of the roof, with one leg resting on the roof and the other hanging down , Borrowing the faint moonlight, I found that the man had long hair, which was tied behind with a belt, but there was a lock of long hair floating around his cheeks, which looked quite unrestrained.

"Who are you?" the kidnapper asked in a low voice.

The long-haired man on the roof smiled faintly, and raised his hand, but saw a tree branch fluttering down, and it landed at the kidnapper's feet. It was a bamboo branch with a few bamboo leaves on it.

"You...!" The kidnapper's voice suddenly changed: "Are you the legendary bamboo swordsman?"

The voice of the man on the roof was ethereal: "Oh, so you know me?"

The kidnapper said in a trembling voice: "I heard that there was a swordsman walking around the rivers and lakes recently. Whenever he saw injustice, he would draw his sword to help, hoe the strong and help the weak. Every time he takes a shot, he will leave a bamboo branch with six bamboo leaves on it, which is said to make people reincarnate in the six realms...!" He looked at the bamboo branch in his hand, glanced at it, and said in a voiceless voice: "This... this There are six bamboo leaves on it, could it be... are you really the legendary bamboo swordsman who hoeed the strong and helped the weak?

The person on the roof sighed, "I never wanted to be famous in Jianghu, but there are people in Jianghu who remember me... Yes, I am the Bamboo Swordsman!"

The kidnapper couldn't help taking a few steps back, and quickly said: "Bamboo Swordsman, we have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in the present, why do you want to meddle in your own business?"

"Drink all the wine in the world and take care of injustice." Bamboo Swordsman said indifferently: "I have also heard of the reputation of black and white ghosts. I heard that they have committed crimes frequently recently and are good at kidnapping. But when they get ransom, they often break their promises." , Killing the hostages, the government has been unable to track down the traces of the two of them... You guys want to commit murder again tonight, if I didn't see it, that's fine, but since I ran into it, I naturally have to control it."

"Bamboo Swordsman, do you really want to meddle in your own business?" The kidnapper said in a deep voice, "This man is the manager of Peacock Terrace. As long as he is tied up, not to mention more, you should be able to get thousands of taels of silver. We will add two to five." ,what do you think?"

"I don't know who he is, and I don't know what Peacock Terrace is." Bamboo Swordsman said calmly, "I just came out to meddle in my own business when I saw injustice. I know that the black and white ghosts are also number one in the arena. , it’s better to see the real trick under your hands, you kill me, and naturally you can do whatever you want.”

"Bamboo Swordsman, you have nothing to do with this person, why do you have to work so hard for him?" The kidnapper's voice was still trembling.

Bamboo Swordsman sighed, and sighed softly: "It's just because I believe that there is still justice in the world!"

The two kidnappers looked at each other, and the kidnapper finally said: "Okay, Bamboo Swordsman, since you came out today, we have to give you face, we will not do this business." He clasped his hands and said, "Farewell!" Without saying anything, he turned around and left, and the kidnapper behind Wu Shizhao quickly retracted his knife and left. The speed of the two was so fast that they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The bamboo swordsman on the roof jumped up and fell lightly from above. Wu Shizhao hurried forward and was about to speak when the bamboo swordsman held a thin dead branch in his mouth and shook his head, "Stop talking!" But he also took a long package and put it on his shoulders, without saying much, he walked away, as if what happened just now was not worth mentioning.

"Wait a minute, hero!" Manager Wu rushed to catch up. The Bamboo Swordsman stopped without turning his head, and said calmly, "There will be a curfew soon, you shouldn't be walking on the street."

"Hero Bamboo said so." Wu Shizhao hurriedly said, "It's hard for an old man to repay the hero's life-saving grace. I don't know if the hero can appreciate it. Going to the old man's place for a drink or two can be regarded as my gratitude to the hero Bamboo for saving his life." .”

Bamboo Swordsman waved his hand and was about to leave when he suddenly let out a "huh" and looked at Xiao Ding who was lying on the ground, frowning.

At this moment, Wu Shizhao finally thought of Xiao Ding, hurried over, squatted down, and called, "Xiao Ding? Xiao Ding?"

Xiao Ding's face was pale, his teeth were clenched, his eyes were closed tightly, and his whole body was motionless. Wu Shizhao reached out to the tip of Xiao Ding's nose, but felt his breath was weak. He was surprised, but he didn't see any wounds on Xiao Ding's body. Know how Xiaoding was injured.

He was worrying when he felt that someone beside him was squatting down, and when he turned his head to look, it was the bamboo swordsman who hurriedly said, "Bamboo hero, look...!"

Bamboo Swordsman looked solemn, looked carefully at Xiao Ding's face, and then said with certainty: "He's been poisoned!"

"Poisoned?" Wu Shizhao was taken aback.

The bamboo swordsman said: "Black and white ghosts, black ghosts know knives, and white ghosts use poison. The one who followed you just now is the white ghost...!" Shi Zhao said, "See if there is any problem with the back of his neck."

Wu Shizhao hurried to Xiao Ding's back, took a closer look, and immediately said: "Hero Zhu, you...you are right, there is a needle in the back of his neck...!"

"That's right." The Bamboo Swordsman frowned and said, "The white ghost shot out a hidden weapon, and there was poison on the hidden weapon, so your follower fell here... If you want him to survive, you have to send him to the hospital immediately."

"Medical clinic?" Wu Shizhao said anxiously: "All the shops in the city have started to close just now. This old man is not familiar with Yunshan City, and he doesn't know where the medical clinic is. Zhu Daxia, you are very skilled. Know how to detoxify, Xiaoding is not yet 30 years old, he is in his prime, if... Bamboo Hero, I beg you to save him."

Bamboo Swordsman frowned, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay to save people, but tomorrow morning, I have to hurry to Hexi, I'm afraid it will delay my trip...!"

"Hexi?" Wu Shizhao's eyes lit up, "Hero Bamboo is going to Hexi?"

"That's right." Bamboo Swordsman said: "My old friend has an appointment, so we must be on time for the appointment...!"

Wu Shizhao said anxiously: "Hero Zhu, you don't know something. This old man is the manager of Peacock Terrace, and our Peacock Terrace is going to Hexi. This is the way. Is the hero going to Hexi alone?"

Bamboo Swordsman calmly said, "So what?"

"Hero Bamboo, why don't you go to Hexi with our team, there is also a helper on the way, we bought the things we need on the way, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and Hero Bamboo doesn't have to look for food and drink by himself." Wu Shizhao said: "Save One life is worse than building a seven-level pagoda, so please think twice!"

Bamboo Swordsman was the only one who groaned, and then sighed: "It doesn't matter if the same road is different, but I can't just watch him die from poisoning, that's all, save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, where do you live? We are now Hurry back, there should be rescue."

Wu Shizhao said gratefully: "Bamboo hero is so righteous, thank you, old man!"

Wu Shizhao was nearly half a century old, short and fat, and Xiao Ding was not small. The Bamboo Swordsman had no choice but to carry Xiao Ding on his back. Wu Shizhao led the way, crossed two streets, and entered the Tianxiang Building.

Chu Huan kept walking. When he reached the yard, there were two martial artists guarding the warehouse. Seeing Wu Shizhao came back, he hurried over. Wu Shizhao hurriedly ordered the two to help carry Xiao Ding to the guest room. There were also two martial artists, Chu Huan asked Wu Shizhao to order everyone to go out, close the door, and detoxify Xiao Ding by himself in the room.
