Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 16
On this day, Li Wenxuan got up very early.

Thinking about the past events that my father told me yesterday, as well as the matter between myself and Tie Ling'er, everything seemed to happen in a dream, I couldn't believe it, but everything was so real.

Seeing that the others hadn't gotten up yet, Li Wenxuan first went to fetch water and chop firewood to fill up the water tank. He also prepared firewood, which was estimated to be enough for two days.Then he went back to the house and took out Qingshuang, sat outside the door and looked at it carefully.

"Squeak—" was the sound of the door opening. Li Wenxuan looked back and saw that it was Tie Ling'er who came out, so he shouted, "Sister Ling'er, you're up."

Tie Ling'er asked: "Well, why are you so early today, aren't you usually the last one to get up?"

Li Wenxuan scratched his head and said, "Today I'm going to go to Luzhou City to buy some things, so I got up early, or I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back at night if I waste too much time during the day."

Tie Ling'er asked again: "What are you going to buy in the city? If you want to buy something, tell my father, my father knows a lot of people, just ask him to find someone to bring it back for you."

"I'm going..." Naturally, Li Wenxuan couldn't say to Tieling'er, "I'm going to prepare a dowry for you." Thinking of this, Li Wenxuan felt happy, so he changed his words and said: "I can't tell you now, but let me wait until the evening." You will know when you come back, it must be a good thing!"

"If you don't say it, don't say it, I don't care! Even if you buy it, I won't read it!" Tie Ling'er said coquettishly.

"I really can't say it now, sister Ling'er, don't be angry, how about—how about I show you something good?" After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, he shook Qingshuang in front of Tie Ling'er.

Tie Ling'er stared at Qingshuang in a daze.

"Sister Ling'er? Sister Ling'er?" Li Wenxuan waved his hand in front of Tie Ling'er, and Tie Ling'er regained consciousness.

"You—where did you get this sword? It's so evil, I felt a little cold just now." Tie Ling'er said timidly.

"This sword was given to me by my father. When I saw it for the first time, I was stunned just like you." Li Wenxuan said.

"You take it yourself, I'd better not look at it, so as not to get confused again. By the way, wait for me, I-I'll get you something." Tie Ling'er seemed a little shy, and did not wait for Li Wenxuan to reply. , and went straight back to the house.

Li Wenxuan didn't talk to him, but secretly looked at Tie Ling'er's back.

Soon, Tie Ling'er came out, clenching a small fist, and said to Li Wenxuan with a smile: "Guess what I have in my hand?"

Li Wenxuan laughed, and said, "How can I guess this? Unless I am the Great Luo Jinxian."

"Guess, if you guess right, I'll give it to you." Tie Ling'er said happily.

"Really? Well, let me think about it... um... that is... a snake!" Li Wenxuan shouted suddenly.

"Ah—" Tie Ling'er trembled in fright, and the things in her hand fell off.

Li Wenxuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, besides, he had already made preparations, so a pair of iron bells fell into his hands.Li Wenxuan looked at Tie Ling'er, said with a smirk, "It's Ling'er, I guessed it right." Then he shook Tie Ling'er.There are two iron bells, one has a clear and sweet sound, and the other has a thick and solid sound.

"You are too bad. You know I am afraid of snakes, but you deliberately scare me. Give me back the bell, and I won't give it to you." Tie Ling'er said angrily.

"Sister Ling'er, it's because I can't figure it out, and I didn't intend to scare you, how about I give you back one and I keep one?" Li Wenxuan said while making faces, teasing Tie Ling'er.

"Hmph! I didn't intend to give you both of these bells. My father made this pair of bells. He told me to give you one, and I—I'll keep one for myself..." Tie Ling'er said, his voice gradually weakened. small.

Li Wenxuan looked at the iron bells, seemed to understand something, shook the two bells again, and said, "This sounds nice, just like your voice, you hold this."

Tie Ling'er took the bell, lowered her head, and said: "My father said, these bells are a pair, mine is a female bell, and the one in your hand is a male bell." Tie Ling'er's voice smaller.

"Oh." Li Wenxuan felt sweet in his heart, agreed, and said, "Actually, I'm going today..."

"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen, I don't care what you are going to do today." Tie Ling'er turned around and said with her back to Li Wenxuan.

"Okay, don't worry, anyway, you will know later." Li Wenxuan said.

Tie Ling'er didn't speak, but pouted.

"Sister Ling'er, I want to discuss something with you." Li Wenxuan spoke very slowly.

"What's the matter?" Tie Ling'er asked.

"Look, you are only half a year older than me. I always call you Sister Ling'er, Sister Ling'er, it seems weird, can I call you another name?" Li Wenxuan asked in a tentative tone.

"You—you don't call me sister, so what's your name?" Tie Ling'er asked again.

"Ding - ding -" Li Wenxuan shook the bell in his hand, and said, "Should I call you bell?"

"You are so bad, you took advantage of me!" After saying that, Tie Ling'er's small fist hit Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenxuan didn't dodge or dodge, just smiled.

After hitting a few times, Tie Ling'er stopped, and said, "Stop hitting, it hurts my hand. To be serious with you, remember to come back early at night, it's not safe to be outside alone. I want to go into the house I'm going, I guess my mother will wake up soon."

"En." Li Wenxuan agreed, and Tie Ling'er turned and went back to the room.

Li Wenxuan looked at Tie Ling'er's back, and vaguely saw that Tie Ling'er's cheeks were a little red.

After another half an hour, Li Yuankun woke up and gave Li Wenxuan more than ten taels of silver.Li Wenxuan wanted to bring Qingshuang, Li Yuankun felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so Li Wenxuan went to Luzhou City.

Li Yuankun has three long swords. In the past, Li Wenxuan wanted to play with them, but Li Yuankun would not allow them.Today, with Qingshuang on his waist, Li Wenxuan felt much more refreshed even when he was walking. He was proud of the spring breeze along the way, and he made two gestures from time to time, as if he already regarded himself as a hero.

There was a sound of horseshoes coming closer and closer from behind, Li Wenxuan didn't care, and was still intoxicated by his own feelings, thinking about how to be a hero and how to become famous in the future.Thinking of the joy, he pulled out Qingshuang again with a "whoosh".

"Hiss—" a horse cry came from behind Li Wenxuan, and before he could turn around to see clearly, he felt a heavy blow to his shoulder, and then he fell into the grass by the roadside, and Qingshuang also flew out. "Ah-oh-oh-"

"Hey—be good, don't be afraid, you'll be fine." The man on the horse said, stroking the horse's mane.

Li Wenxuan's shoulder was really hurting, and hearing that the horseman didn't come to see how he was hurt first, but was comforting the beast, he couldn't get angry at all.

At this moment, the man on the horse got off his horse, walked towards Li Wenxuan, and asked, "Brother, I'm sorry, why did you suddenly draw your sword just now, you scared my horse, so I accidentally kicked it?" You, are you hurt?"

At this moment, Li Wenxuan saw the rider clearly. He was dressed in bright white clothes and a white robe, and he was wearing black boots with gold trim. He had a long sword at his waist. If you carve a flower, you will know that the sword is worth a lot, and seeing that the man is about the same age as him, but he is just oily and powdery, which makes people feel annoying.Li Wenxuan was still lying in the grass at this time, his body was stained with a lot of mud and he was very embarrassed. After some comparison, he became even more angry.

"You little boy, you don't know how to ride a horse, so don't come out and run around. Fortunately, I have a strong body. If it were someone else, I would have fallen apart!" Li Wenxuan was angry in his heart, and he deliberately spoke with thorns.

"Who are you calling a badass! I'm kind enough to see if you're hurt, why did you tease me with your words!" said the boy.

"Whoever is a little boy knows in his heart, I see you are still tender, and I don't care about you anymore, hurry home and take your wife." Li Wenxuan looked at the horse again, it was tall and strong, it was the horse's eyes It seems that he is always looking at himself, his head is still shaking, as if he is laughing at himself, and he is even more angry in his heart.

"You! You! You are shameless!" The young man was so angry with Li Wenxuan that he immediately swung the scabbard in his hand and hit Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan didn't expect the man to hit him as soon as he said so, so he gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his shoulder, turned forward, avoided the boy's blow, and touched Qingshuang by the way, laying on his chest to protect him. .

The young man gave Li Wenxuan a cold look, and said, "The sword is good, but it's a pity that I followed the wrong person."

Li Wenxuan replied one more sentence than the gourd painter: "Your horse is not bad, but the owner is a badass."

The young man was already flushed with anger, and said: "You are the one who is not happy today, no wonder I am! Look at the trick!" The young man drew his sword out of its sheath, and slashed at Li Wenxuan's face diagonally.

Li Wenxuan wondered which rich family this young man should be, and he didn't seem to have much ability, so he didn't take his blow to heart.With a twist of his wrist, the blade of the sword turned outward, caught the sword, and then did not move, waiting for the boy to make a move, meaning to see how much he could use.

The young man was also strange, he didn't rush to return the sword to make the next move, but he held the scabbard with his left hand and hit Li Wenxuan's weak spot on the right side.Li Wenxuan felt strange looking at the young man's attack like this, and thought that his martial arts were mediocre and unstructured, so he moved down with his left hand and grabbed the young man's scabbard.I thought to myself, what else can you do?Li Wenxuan was feeling proud when his left hand felt light suddenly, and he saw something flying towards him in the boy's left sleeve.Because the distance between the two sides was too close, it was too late to dodge. Li Wenxuan was about to scold the young man for being mean, but before he opened his mouth, he was hit by a hard object and his arm was entangled by the rope.

"Haha! Come down for me!" The young man laughed loudly, holding his sword towards Li Wenxuan's chest. Wenxuan's hands were bound and he couldn't resist, so he couldn't help but dodge backwards.The young man's sword was getting faster and faster, Li Wenxuan panicked, tripped over something, and fell to the ground staggeringly.

"You were disrespectful just now, this is a lesson for you." After the boy said, the long sword stabbed Li Wenxuan's throat.

Li Wenxuan's face turned pale, and he secretly cried out in his heart: "It's over! It's over!"
