Chapter 71 Small Village
In the early morning, the villagers of Sanshui Village got up very early, picked up their sickles and went to work in the fields.
Only something was different today. They passed by the village chief's house and saw two young men and women they had never seen before.
The girl looked pretty and cute, but she was wielding a long sword in her hand, practicing awkwardly, blowing the wind of the sword.
The man stood aside and gave instructions from time to time.
"You took the wrong step."
Fu Qingzhou corrected: "You have to take a long half step for this step. Your feet should be solid before twisting and turning, starting from the ground and walking from waist to shoulders. Only in this way can you use your strength to pass the sword, otherwise your sword will be unable to be handed out, or your sword strength will be insufficient, and it will show flaws."
Tang Jiao's face turned slightly red, and she wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead: " Okay, I'll try again."
The sword in her hand was brought back by the village chief's son overnight.
The bows, arrows and iron swords Fu Qingzhou wanted were not high-end goods that needed to be customized. They were all in stock in the blacksmith shop, so the village chief's son rushed back and forth overnight and brought the weapons back early in the morning.
With the sword, it was natural to teach Tang Jiao.
The fact that Hua Wuying was able to teach this Liufeng Sword Technique to Fu Qingzhou, whom he only met once, shows that this is not a secret that is not passed on, so teaching it to Tang Jiao should have nothing to do with it.
It’s just that she is far from her own talent, and she doesn’t have the ability to learn it after just one look, so it takes some effort.
This set of swordsmanship is also very suitable for her. She uses defense as offense and her body skills are agile. Now Fu Qingzhou does not need her to be able to kill many enemies, but she must at least be able to protect herself.
The reason why Tang Jiao was asked to learn the sword and accompany him to exterminate the bandits was also very simple.
After walking out of Bailu Mountain, Fu Qingzhou realized how big the world was and how many strong people there were.
After spending this time together, he has gradually regarded Tang Jiao as his little sister. If he wants to live freely and freely in this world, he must at least be able to protect himself.
When she was able to go all the way from the capital to Ten Thousand Poison Mountains without having anything happen to her, it was entirely the result of an overwhelming amount of luck... But people can't live by luck.
She has to become stronger.
Fortunately, although Tang Jiao was a slow learner, she was not without any foundation.
As she said, in her early years in Beijing, she was still a daughter of an official family. In Dayanli, where martial arts was prevalent, there was no daughter of a wealthy family who did not learn three moves and five moves, so she also practiced martial arts and learned swordsmanship.
As the sun gradually rose, Tang Jiao's swordsmanship gradually became more and more proficient. Although she was still very immature, she had some appearance.
"Okay, let's take a rest, have lunch and then we'll set off."
Fu Qingzhou said, flipping through the herbs in a bamboo basket.
Since you are going out to kill bandits for the villagers, you naturally don’t need to do things like collect poisonous herbs and poisons yourself.
The villagers here are more familiar with the surrounding mountains and forests. In the morning, he has asked the village chief to find someone to pick some common poisonous weeds.
It is naturally not easy to get the poison that he used to poison the magic stick in such a short time, but it is very simple to get poisons that can easily cause paralysis and nausea.
Lunch was still eaten at the village chief’s house. At the same time, a pot of poisonous herb water was boiled in the village chief’s house. The arrows and arrows they had just bought were all placed in the pot and boiled together. .
“It’s hard to tell the location of the village clearly.”
During lunch, the village chief’s son said seriously: “But I know that place, and I will take you there.”
< br>
The location of the village is about ten miles away from Sanshui Village on a mountain road. It is not close or far, but the mountain road is indeed difficult to walk. There are many traps on the road. It is only through Fu Qingzhou's sophisticated observation and pupil eyesight that he can reach the village. be bypassed.
However, these traps are not traps used by hunters to capture wild animals. They are all aimed at killing people. At first glance, they are set by bandits.
This also shows that... the cottage is close.
After walking around for about half an hour and bypassing more than a dozen traps, a thin line of smoke rising from the forest was faintly revealed.
Fu Qingzhou laughed when he saw it: "It seems that these bandits have a very late lunch time." Tang Jiao held a long sword in her hand, and she also had a bit of a sassy heroine, and nodded to the village chief's son. Said: "Brother, we don't need you to lead the way. You can go back."
"You two young heroes, don't you need my help?" The village chief's son scratched his head: "I am also very strong!"
Fu Qingzhou smiled: "Okay, I You and your sister also need to do some more research before going to the village. You can use this time to rush back to the village, call all the strong men in the village, bring hoes and sickles, and stand guard at the bottom of the mountain road. "
"If there are bandits that we have no time to kill and accidentally let go, you will be responsible for solving them."
The village chief's son became excited when he heard this: "Okay! No problem!"
After that, he didn't stay any longer and ran down the mountain.
Fu Qingzhou raised his chin at Tang Jiao: "Let's go, big brother will teach you how to explore the outside."
Tang Jiao was still a little nervous, but nodded resolutely.
In fact, this kind of exploration is not difficult.
For this small-scale copycat, the traps they set up in the outer circle are basically all the means of protection. They are used to protect against ordinary police officers and soldiers who have not developed martial arts skills and only have some skills. .
The real hero is coming, and they can't guard against it.
The bet is that if the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, no one can care about it.
The two of them searched for a nearby higher hill and looked towards the direction of the smoke from a prostrate position.
There is a wall surrounding the entire cottage, which is airtight. The base is made of boulders, decorated with palm trees and reeds, and the top of the wall is dotted with green grass.
In the village, the bandits were cooking in the shade. About thirty bandits were sitting around in a disorderly manner. The tables, chairs and stools were unevenly tilted, and firewood and wine jars were piled in the corners. .
"Sure enough, it is similar to what the village chief's son said."
Fu Qingzhou smiled and asked Tang Jiao: "What do you think?"
"What do you think?" Tang Jiao was a little confused: " Do you have any ideas? "
Fu Qingzhou guided: "For example, how should the two of us attack this stronghold, how to kill the enemy most efficiently, etc."
Tang Jiao pursed her lips and thought for a moment. He said with some uncertainty: "Hmm...fire attack?"
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "The fire attack is fierce, but the fire does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. How can we go in and kill the enemy? If there is a secret passage in this cottage leading to somewhere else, and the fire breaks out, and they escape along the secret passage, how can we find out?"
Tang Jiao blushed: "Brother, don't ask me, I'm so stupid."
"You are not stupid, you just have no experience in this area."
Fu Qingzhou is serious Said: "If you really want to help me, you can't rely on me for everything. You have to make your own considerations. Today is a good opportunity. You have to learn more and see more."
Tang Jiao's expression changed. Su: "Okay."
"Well, look..."
Fu Qingzhou pointed out: "There is a small watchtower at the entrance of their village. The terrain is not low. Anyone who approaches the village will be discovered immediately, and even shoot arrows directly. This This is also the reason why we need to crawl at this time."
"We don't have powerful light skills and can't kill people instantly. If we knock down the bandits on the watchtower first, the bandits in the village will definitely find out immediately. This may lead to two possibilities..."
"First, they believe that you and I are masters who cannot be dealt with and flee immediately; second, they think that they can kill you and me, so they swarm up..."
“It’s not possible to ‘make a big shout and appear on the scene’ like in storytelling stories. Either people know you are great and run away in a flash, or dozens of knives will chop us into minced meat in no time. .”
"The best way is to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and find the easiest way to get close to the thief's leader and capture him, and then..."
He lowered his voice and analyzed word by word, Tang Jiao lay beside him and listened carefully, her expression gradually calmed down.
