Chapter 2 Pandan smiles (2)
Xiaolan spat and cursed: "You bumpkin, you only know how to drink water and eat plain rice." Lu Jianwei hesitated, and said, "Xiaolan, I... I..." He stretched out his hand to his arms, wanting to touch the necklace, Feel hesitant again.

Xiaolan's face changed, and she suddenly picked up the spiked sword and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I learned a few new moves today. Look carefully, don't turn your eyes away." Immediately put on a pose, draw on the left Three circles, stabbing with the right sword, "This trick is called stealing." Lu Jian was exhausted after not eating for a long time, but in order to please the girl, he forced himself to do it again according to the law.

Xiaolan said again, "Look at this move 'stabbing the sparrow'." Suddenly she jumped up high, stabbed four swords in the air, landed floatingly, and said, "This sword is well practiced, in one stroke, it can stab one Thirteen swords."

Lu Jian jumped up in the same way, and only stabbed once, before the second stab was thrown, he fell to the ground.He blushed with embarrassment, peeping, the girl pursed her rosy mouth, and there was a mockery in her almond eyes.

Xiaolan snorted softly and said, "Lu Jian, why are you always so slow? Walking slowly makes the sword even slower. I told you earlier that this sword technique must be fast, so fast that it can cut through the flowing water. Good. Like you, you can cut even a toothpick!"

Lu Jian was scolded by her, but nodded in agreement.Xiaolan said again: "You haven't made any progress these days. If you continue like this, how can you practice swords with me?" Lu Jian was anxious, and blurted out: "I will definitely work hard!"

Xiaolan gave him a white look and said, "That's fine, I'll trust you again." After speaking, she performed four tricks, namely "Mushroom Big Tree", "Blowing the Wind and Raining", "White Horse Over the Mountain", "Horse-haired Bird Feather", one move is as fast as one move.Lu Jian endured the hunger, watched intently, and drew gourds one by one in the same way.

Luckily, these four moves were not too difficult, so she didn't make any mistakes, so Xiaolan felt satisfied, and said with a smile, "I'll teach these six moves today, and you can practice them at home...how did you do with the moves I taught you last time?" " Lu Jian said, "It's all done." Xiao Lan said, "Very good, let's dismantle it."

The two of them squared off, facing each other with their swords.Xiaolan's sword was like the wind, she didn't finish her first move, and then she made another second move.Lu Jian was forced into a panic by her fast sword, and hit three swords in an instant.Although the wooden sword was not fatal, the place where it hit was very painful.After a few moves, Xiaolan stabbed with the sword, Lu Jian swung the sword to strike, with a sound of "Du", the two swords intersected, Lu Jian suddenly felt a sticky force on Xiaolan's sword, and suddenly the tiger's mouth was numb, and the wooden sword Fly out.

Xiaolan giggled and said, "How about it, are you convinced?" Lu Jian hurriedly said, "I'm convinced." Xiaolan smiled when she heard this.Seeing her flowing eyes and radiant cheeks, Lu Jian felt very happy in his heart.

"Lu Jian," Xiaolan suddenly looked worried, "Five days ago you were able to block fifty moves from me, why can you only take thirty moves today?" Lu Jian thought for a while and said, "You're about to strike the sword! , the strength has also become stronger.”

Xiaolan snorted, and said, "It's not that I'm getting stronger because I'm faster, but because you're getting weaker because you're slower, you're lazy and slippery, and you haven't practiced your sword properly." Lu Jian hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, I practice every day."

Xiaolan said: "That means you don't practice hard enough. From today onwards, you must practice twice as much." Lu Jian hesitated and said, "Xiao...Xiaolan, I want to fish and mend the net, but I can't let grandpa see..." Xiaolan said angrily, "You don't want to practice sword with me anymore?" Lu Jian saw that she showed a savage look, and had no choice but to bow his head and remain silent.

Suddenly heard a giggle, someone said: "What a cunning girl, she can deceive people at a young age." Xiaolan changed her face in response, and shouted with her sword: "Who is it?" a woman.

The woman smiled again and said: "Silly boy, do you know why she suddenly became stronger in five days?" Lu Jian said: "She practices more diligently than me, so naturally she is stronger." The woman sighed and said: "Boy, you can be stupid. She practiced more diligently than you, but that's not the main reason. The main reason is that she has practiced the family's 'chalcedony skill' to the second level. She has achieved internal skills, so she will naturally become stronger soon. She teaches you how to practice swords, but doesn't pass on your internal strength, silly boy, don't you know that 'if you practice boxing without practicing kung fu, you will be old for nothing'?"

When she was speaking, Xiao Lan was running with her sword in her hand, but the voice was always moving from east to west, from south to north, and always erratic.Xiaolan couldn't follow her, and was extremely annoyed. Hearing this, she couldn't help turning around and shouting, "Lu Jian, cover your ears, don't listen to her nonsense."

"You're talking nonsense!" the woman laughed, "You taught this foolish boy swordsmanship just to make him a target for you to practice swordsmanship. Tell me, how many words you told him are true?" Lu Jian was confused, but Xiaolan stumbled and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, don't be a coward if you have the ability!"

The woman sneered softly, and the red shadow flashed, and in front of the two of them was a beautiful barbarian girl with a green maiden face and blue eyes, holding a Persian cat in her arms, her cheeks were dizzy, and her smile was not a smile.

Xiaolan shouted: "Mrs. Fan, are you talking?" The Yi girl smiled and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Eat my sword." Xiaolan drew her sword and stabbed.Yi Nu smiled and said, "Do you stab sparrows?" Just as she spoke, Xiaolan's tiger's mouth hurt sharply, and with a "click", the wooden sword snapped into two pieces.

She leaned back and looked intently, seeing that half of the wooden sword was embedded in a big tree, she couldn't help being shocked.She thought to herself that she stabbed the barbarian girl, so how could she stab the tree trunk?Turned around in a hurry, but there was no sign of the Yi girl, and only heard a laughing voice from afar: "Silly boy, you have to be careful, don't be sold by this girl and count the money for her."

Little Lanhua's face changed terribly, and she cried out: "You...you know magic arts?"

Xiaolan stomped her feet resentfully, stared at Lu Jian and said, "Do you believe her or me?" Lu Jian said without thinking, "Of course I believe you, and I don't know her." Seeing his straightforward answer, Xiaolan was satisfied, Po Yan smiled and said: "You're honest." She thought for a while, then asked, "I clearly stabbed that woman, how could I stab it on a tree? What do you see beside me?"

Lu Jian said: "You are obviously a thorn tree, so why did you stab someone?" Xiao Lan wondered, "You said I was a thorn tree when I drew my sword?" Lu Jian nodded.

Xiaolan pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so she said, "Mrs. Fan really knows magic tricks." After finishing speaking, she picked up a branch, "Let's unravel the trick again." Suddenly seeing Lu Jian's eyes glazed over, she felt very unhappy.

It turned out that Lu Jian was getting hungrier after a round of sword comparisons.He is just an adult, and he eats a lot. At this time, his body is weak and empty, and his mind is blank and numb. He didn't try to lift the sword until Xiaolan stabbed him twice with a branch, but within three moves, Xiaolan knocked off the wooden sword and resisted. Hold the throat.

Xiaolan turned angry, threw the branch, and said loudly, "Lu Jian, are you impatient to practice sword with me? Okay, I'll find someone else." With reddened eyes, she turned around and left.Lu Jian panicked: "Xiaolan, I...I..." blurted out in a hurry, "I haven't eaten, I haven't... I have no strength."

Xiaolan stopped and turned her head, stared at him for a while, then suddenly blinked her eyes, and giggled.Lu Jian was so ashamed that he was at a loss, and said angrily, "What's so funny?"

Xiaolan gasped for breath, and then said: "Silly brother, don't be angry, why don't you say you're hungry?" Lu Jian said, "I said that I don't want to compete with swords, so I won't spoil your interest?" Xiaolan said: "You can go first Fight swords after eating." Lu Jian bit his lip, lowered his head and said, "I...I have nothing to eat..."

Xiaolan looked at Lu Jian, feeling at a loss.She was born in a wealthy family, and she never knew what it was like to not have enough to eat. Seeing Lu Jian's pitiful expression, her heart softened, and she sighed, "Forget it, come with me." Lu Jian said, "Where are you going?" The parrot beckoned and said, "Don't ask too many questions, just follow me."

Lu Jian didn't dare to ask any more questions, followed her for a few miles, out of the dense forest, and saw the towering eaves and walls in the distance, he was not surprised and said: "Isn't this Yao's Village?" Xiao Lan said: "Stay here, don't go anywhere .” Lu Jian agreed.Xiaolan walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "Remember, you must never tell others about meeting me to practice swords. If you tell, I will ignore you for the rest of my life."

Lu Jian smiled and said, "You've said this a hundred times, I swear to God, isn't it okay?" Xiaolan smiled slightly, walked around the fence, and disappeared.

Lu Jian had nothing to do, so he sat down, thinking of Xiaolan's smiling face before leaving, his heart warmed.Suddenly he remembered that he had known Xiaolan for two years.I remember that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, when Lu Dahai drank too much wine and fell asleep early, Lu Jian was alone, bored, walking along the beach.Suddenly, there was a figure swaying by the sea, and when I looked closely, it was a young girl dancing a sword against the wind under the full moon, with a graceful posture and a clear charm.Lu Jian's heart was moved by seeing it, and he couldn't help picking up a dead branch, and imitating her by jumping and stabbing.

It takes half an hour to learn such a dance.The girl suddenly withdrew her sword and turned around, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, if you peek at me practicing sword again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"

Lu Jian used to have a childlike innocence and played casually, but the beauty of that girl's smile was something he had never seen in his life.For a moment, I felt that the full moon was pale, the stars were dim, and the waves of the sea seemed to be silent.All he could do was to stare at the girl and stand there until the blade of her sword hit him in the head.

After that night, Lu Jian finally knew that the girl's name was Xiaolan, and she liked to practice swords, but suffered from the fact that no one could dismantle her moves.After hearing this, Lu Jian volunteered to practice swords with her.Since then, Xiaolan's swordsmanship has become better and better, and she always wins in sword competitions with Lu Jian.As time passed, it was not that Lu Jian had no chance of winning, but even if he discovered Xiaolan's weakness, he couldn't bear to put the wooden sword on him.

If it is so many, it will take more than a month, or if it is as few as a few days, the two will always meet once.In the beginning, Xiaolan always came to look for Lu Jian when Lu Dahai was away. Later, she raised a white parrot, named "White Pearl", and asked the parrot to call Lu Jian during the meeting.Lu Jian also gradually understood that Xiaolan was different from him in many ways. For example, every time she appeared, she was always dressed in splendid clothes and covered in jewels.It's just that this girl has a tight-lipped tongue and never reveals her family background. She doesn't say anything, and Lu Jian doesn't like to ask too many questions.

Thinking of this, Lu Jian reached out and took out the shell necklace, feeling very anxious: "Xiaolan is used to seeing jewelry and jade, this shell necklace is worthless, if she sees it, will she make fun of me?" Thinking secretly worried , almost forgot about his hunger, until someone kicked him on the back before he woke up.In a blink of an eye, it was a little girl. Seeing him looking up, she threw the red lacquer food box in her hand heavily, pouted and said, "Here, here it is for you!" Lu Jian was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Where's Xiaolan?"

"Who is Xiaolan?" Seeing his shabby clothes, the little girl stepped back two steps and said in disgust, "Aunt Zhu from the kitchen asked me to give it to you."

Lu Jian was puzzled, and asked again: "Did Xiao Lan ask Aunt Zhu to entrust you to give it to me?"

"Xiaolan?" the little girl spat, "what a mess, Aunt Zhu is Aunt Zhu, not Xiaolan. Also, this is the cemetery of Yaojiazhuang. People outside the village are not allowed to stay for a long time. Be careful that Yanzhihu treats you like a tomb robber." Thief, break your dog legs."

Lu Jian turned around and saw many mounds and steles. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you from Yao's Village?" The little girl said, "So what?" He almost blurted out: "Is Xiaolan also from Yaojiazhuang?" But when the words came to his lips, he finally held back, and saw the little girl spit again, and ran away.

Lu Jian opened the food box, and the aroma filled his nostrils.When you look closely, you can see that the chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables are complete, the duck is coated with honey, and the eel is carved into petals.Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, he suddenly thought of his grandfather again, held back for a while, and walked towards the front of the village with the box.Before he got close, he suddenly saw a group of idlers surrounding the door, Lu Dahai was also among them, but he was old and frail, and was blocked by everyone.

Lu Jian grabbed the corner of his clothes and yelled.Lu Dahai looked back at him and said angrily, "What are you doing?" Lu Jian smiled and said, "Grandpa, haven't you sat down yet?" " Lu Jian said: "Is there any leftovers?" Lu Haihai said: "The banquet hasn't started yet, where did the leftovers come from?" Having said that, he blew his beard, "You monkey, are you here to see my joke?"

Lu Jian held back his smile and said, "I'll take you home for dinner." Lu Haihai looked suspicious, "Didn't you say there's no food?" Lu Jian raised the food box, Lu Haihai's eyes lit up, and he took a look , salivating, tore off a piece of duck meat, and chewed it in his mouth.A few acquaintances turned around and saw it, shouted loudly, and surrounded him.Lu Dahai hugged the food box in a hurry, and ran away. He didn't run two steps, but was hooked by someone's foot, and fell to the ground, knocking over all the food.

Lu Dahai's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Looking at the delicacies all over the place, the pain in his heart was worse than his face and nose. He couldn't help but roared: "The thief is a bird, tripping up your ancestors." , the fist stopped in mid-air.

Lu Jian caught up and saw a plump woman with heavy make-up surrounded by six men in green clothes in front of her.The woman had an ordinary appearance, with a bean-sized black mole under her jaw, and her triangular eyes rolled around, revealing a strong hostility.

When Lu Dahai was stared at by her, his whole body went limp, and he bent down and said with a smile, "Grandma housekeeper, hello!"

"You are scolding!" The woman said with a smile, "Who is the thief, and who is the ancestor?"

Lu Dahai hurriedly laughed and said: "The thief is a villain, and grandma is the ancestor." The woman laughed and said, "Am I that old?" Whose eldest daughter did you meet!" The woman laughed and said, "You old bastard, you will turn around."

Lu Jian recognized this woman as the manager of the Yao family village, the number one domineering and cunning person within a hundred miles.Because she treats people like a tiger, she is called "Rouge Tiger" for a long time, but as for her own name, no one remembers her name.Although Lu Jian knew how powerful Yan Zhihu was, seeing his grandfather's humble face made him feel depressed. He tugged at Lu Haihai and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, let's go."

"Where are you going?" Yan Zhihu sneered slightly, "Bring that food box here." Zhuang Ding next to him picked up the food box, Yan Zhihu took it and looked at it, and said coldly: "Lu Dahai, you are getting more and more courageous." When I grow up, I hurt someone last year, and I didn’t know how to repent when I went to jail, but today I’m fine, dare to break ground on Tai Sui’s head?”

Lu Haihai was puzzled, scratched his head and said, "Grandma's words, the villain can't understand."

Yan Zhihu took the food box, pointed to a small cinnabar character on the lid, and said, "Do you know this character?" Lu Dahai apologized and said with a smile: "Grandma is taking a test for a small person. When it comes to recognizing characters, a small person can only recognize his own surname." , this character is neither like Lu nor Da, nor is it a Hai character. Tell me, how do villains recognize it?"

Yan Zhihu smiled and said: "The old slicker can pretend to be dumb, anyway, let me point you out, this is a word for Yao, 'Yao' in Yao's village. As for this food box, it is something in my village. I just don't know how you Stolen."

Lu Dahai's face turned pale, and Lu Jian's head buzzed several times out of thin air. Just as he didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard Lu Dahai laughing, "This food box was indeed stolen from Guizhuang by the little old man." , since grandma found out, if you want to beat or kill or report to the police, the little old man will be at his disposal."

Lu Jian was shocked and was about to speak when he was slapped on the head by Lu Haihai and staggered, only to hear him sternly say: "Damn monkey, what are you dragging me to, why don't you go home?"

Lu Jian was stunned, and suddenly Yan Zhihu snorted and said, "Is the old man pretending to be a bachelor with me? Tie him up for me."

Several Zhuang Ding rushed forward, Lu Jian's mind went blank. Seeing a few hands grabbing his grandfather, he became anxious and forgot where he was. Crouching down, raising the sword upwards, hearing a few miserable hums, Zhuang Ding grinned and withdrew his hands one after another.One of them was quite brave. He retracted his left hand and punched Lu Jian hard with his right hand.

Lu Jian took half a step back, holding the sword with both hands, pressing the hilt with his right thumb, and turned the wooden sword slightly to the left.When that Zhuang Ding punched, it seemed as if his fist had reached the tip of the sword. He immediately yelled, jumped back, looked down, and saw that the place where the sword was hit was bleeding.

All the Zhuang Ding woke up like a dream, and dispersed one after another, surrounding Lu Jian.Lu Dahai saw that one misfortune was not over, and another misfortune happened again, he was panic-stricken, and said repeatedly: "I have something to say..." Before he finished speaking, Yan Zhihu suddenly yelled: "Wait a minute." Covering the frost, he said sharply: "Boy, who taught you these two sword skills?"
