The sun shone brightly on the earth, and the mountain wind became stronger, making the door creak. The big yellow dog under the eaves was pacing back and forth restlessly, dragging its long iron chain, and humming from time to time. The chickens, ducks and geese in the yard were like They were hungry again, so they were shouting at the door in small groups.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and it seemed that the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Liu Ruyan and Luo Lin stood opposite each other, staring at each other for a long time. Both sides were ready to take action, but both behaved extremely calmly.
The mountain breeze came in from the window, blowing the hair and flying. The two people were still staring at each other quietly. Liu Ruyan's eyes were as sharp as an unsealed blade, but Luo Lin's face seemed calm, as if his heart was still.
Luo Xiangxue begged bitterly, but Liu Ruyan remained unmoved like a cold stone standing in the wind. His eyes were full of hatred, and his anger was burning, making the blood in his chest boil.
He has only one belief: to avenge his relatives, blood for blood, tooth for tooth. He must seek justice for his parents who died tragically, for the dozens of lives in Liujiazhuang, for his sister whose whereabouts are unknown, and for himself. He had been waiting for this day and this moment for too long. Fortunately, God paid off and he finally found his enemy.
Facing Luo Xiangxue's weeping pleas, tears flowed down her face, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were bloodshot. She half-knelt in front of Liu Ruyan with one foot and said with a miserable face: "Brother Liu, the mistakes my father made when he was young , I am willing to repay this blood debt for him, just kill me, I just ask you to let him go." Her eyes fell on the stunned Luo Lin, and she said faintly, "Although he is not my biological father, but After all, he has given me the kindness to raise him. I bear this sin for him as repayment of his kindness for twenty years. If I die in exchange for his life, I will no longer owe him anything!" Her voice was soft and sad. , tears blurred his eyes, and his face was pale from crying.
Liu Ruyan stared at her, his eyes of hatred turned to heartache, his eyes were full of pity, and he said painfully: "Let him go? He has already admitted that he was the culprit of the Liujiazhuang tragedy, but you asked me to let him go? I My father, mother, little sister, and dozens of people in Liujiazhuang died in his hands. How can you let me go? He has caused my family to be destroyed and displaced. This is a life-and-death hatred. You can kill me with just one word. Let go?" His voice was trembling, as cold as ice, as if he was crying. His heart seemed to have been torn apart by tremendous grief and was shattered to pieces.
Luo Xiangxue had a sad face and said resentfully: "One is my dearest person, and the other is the person I love most. How do you want me to choose? But you are enemies. If you want to fight to the death here, no matter who it is, I can't face whoever wins or loses. If you want to kill each other, kill me first!" He closed his eyes in pain and burst into tears.
The middle-aged woman pushed Luo Lin away, then suddenly fell down next to Luo Xiangxue, caressing her body, holding her delicate face, hugging her slightly trembling body and crying. A middle-aged woman who can only do housework, care for her husband and raise children, how can she stop the competition between men?
Liu Ruyan smiled coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, today you will die or I will live. Just take action!" He leaned down to hold Luo Xiangxue and the middle-aged woman up, and said, " I have no choice, you just stand aside!"
Luo Xiangxue looked at Liu Ruyan infatuatedly, and suddenly she drew her sword out of its sheath, and the cold light reached her snow-white neck in a flash. Liu Ruyan, with quick eyes and quick hands, shouted in a low voice: "Xiangmei! What are you doing?" before she finished speaking. Falling, the tip of his sword had already touched the edge of Luo Xiangxue's neck. In just an inch, the sword edge was about to scratch her neck. With a "clang", Luo Xiangxue's sword-holding palm went numb, and the sword fell to the ground.
Luo Xiangxue's heart trembled, and she murmured: "Why did you save me? Let me die! If I die, it will be over. I don't have to watch your vendetta anymore, and I don't have to cry for anyone anymore."
Liu Ruyan's heart was as sharp as a knife, and she sighed with pity: "Xiangmei, what are you doing? Do you think that if you die, this grudge and hatred can be resolved? Is this the end of the bloodshed in Liujiazhuang? He killed so many people There are many people, and my little sister is still missing. I owe all of this to him! Humph, you asked me to let him go. This is a big joke. Murder must be punished with life. It is only right!" In his eyes, The flame of revenge burned again, and every blood vessel in his body spurted out.
Luo Xiangxue said quietly: "No matter how many crimes he has committed, he is my father after all. How can I just watch you kill him! Brother Liu, I beg you to let him go, he is already an old man, and it's okay He has a very serious illness and he doesn't have much time left to live. Even if it's for me, can you let him go? Let's leave this place and go far away, no matter where we go!" She looked sad. , staring at Liu Ruyan expectantly.
Suddenly, a deep and deep voice sounded: "Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Young man, the fact that you are here today shows that you are a capable person. Yes, I was indeed the one who planned what happened at Liujiazhuang back then. Just attack me, don't embarrass the mother and son, this matter has nothing to do with them." The corners of his eyes trembled, but his face looked calm. There was nothing in his hands, and he clenched and unclenched his hands.
The middle-aged woman hissed: "Her father, what evil do you think you have done? Why are you so confused? If you die, what will Xue'er and I do?" She said, and endured He couldn't help covering his face and sobbing.
Luo Xiangxue suddenly turned around and threw herself into Luo Lin's arms. She put her arms around her father's neck and whispered in her ear: "Dad, leave quickly! Brother Liu's martial arts is amazing. If you fight, we will both lose. I will try to contain him. You Take advantage of the situation and leave as soon as possible. Dad, I really don’t want to see anything happen to either of you." She said, holding the sword in her backhand, holding it across her chest, and said to Liu Ruyan: "Brother Liu, if you are determined to kill my father, Then kill me first! I have no regrets if I die in your hands." Her eyes were full of hope and firm tenderness.
Liu Ruyan frowned and said urgently: "Xiangmei, get out of the way! Aren't you making things difficult for me? If I can't take his head to sacrifice to my parents, wouldn't it be unfair to me? What can I do? He deserves to be the wronged soul under Jiuquan! Get out of the way quickly, even if I can't kill him, it's God's will!"
He suddenly danced a sword flower, holding the sword in an attack position, and planted his feet firmly on the horse, but saw his sword eyebrow lifted, his feet slipping forward, his body swaying, and the person suddenly arrived, and he made a sword-style lightning move of "even split" As he stabbed out, the changing sword edge danced with the shadow of the sword, and went straight to the two large acupuncture points on the opponent's chest and abdomen. Luo Lin's heart froze, his eyes flashed with light, and he whispered, "Xiaoxue, get out of the way!" Before he finished speaking, he Luo Xiangxue's large acupuncture point on her shoulder and neck had been tapped. Luo Xiangxue was caught off guard and restrained. Her eyes were startled, her body was stunned, and she fell limply to the ground.
Seeing the situation, Liu Ruyan was slightly distracted and couldn't help but slow down her hand. Luo Lin glanced at Luo Xiangxue who fell to the ground, and shouted to the frightened middle-aged woman standing aside: "Take her away quickly! "
The middle-aged woman suddenly jumped up, picked up Luo Xiangxue, and took her back to the room. She took a deep look at Luo Lin and wailed with sadness: "You have committed evil!"
Luo Lin's hands were empty, but at some point he had a short knife. The blade, which was less than a foot long, was spinning like the wind in his hand. Just when Liu Ruyan's long sword was about two inches from Luo Lin's chest, the short knife flashed, and the cold The light was dazzling, and Liu Ruyan instinctively squinted to avoid the bright light. The sword move in his hand was deflected to the left. Seeing this, Luo Lin changed his short sword from stabbing to sweeping. He drew the sword horizontally and slashed towards Liu Ruyan's right shoulder. With the empty door exposed, his right shoulder was suddenly hit and was cut open. .
Liu Ruyan instinctively took two steps back and glanced at her right shoulder. Fortunately, the clothes were only scratched and no flesh was hurt. The move missed, and Liu Ruyan became more cautious. He retracted his sword and raised a sword flower in his backhand, making a sword-guarding stance. When he was fighting with the man and woman just now, Luo Lin hid in the house and knocked down the hidden weapon with flying coins. This move showed his extraordinary skill and he did not dare to be careless. It should be noted that it is a taboo to underestimate the enemy, and success is often only a matter of thought.
When Luo Lin succeeded, he was greatly relieved, but his face remained calm. He stared at Liu Ruyan's sword and said quietly: "Young man, your skills are extraordinary! If I'm not mistaken, that move you just made was The Liuyun Thirty-six are equally divided, this is the Liuyun Sword Technique that the Nanshan layman is proud of, although it is not a killing move, the sword moves are agile and unpredictable, and it can be considered a good martial art!"
Liu Ruyan glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "It seems that you already know my details very clearly. Yes, the evenly matched move just now is the Liuyun sword style that the master is famous for. It's only my fault that I'm not good at it. It cannot be used skillfully. Today, either you die or I die!"
After saying that, the long sword shook, and a cold light rolled out like a dragon's tongue, flying straight towards Luo Lin's left chest and throat. Liu Ruyan's feet wandered left and right, and the sword edge sometimes struck horizontally and sometimes stabbed diagonally. His body suddenly jumped up, his feet were retracted, and he made a half-crouching position in the air. He stabbed three swords in a row with strong wind. The swords were extremely fierce. It was obvious that he left no room for anything and only wanted to kill the opponent.
Luo Lin was slightly inferior in physical strength, and he dealt with it calmly without changing his expression. However, he saw his foot slip, his body tilted and he spun backwards half a circle. The short knife in his hand flew up and down and rushed into Liu Ruyan's sword array. A defensive style of play. The two sides were jumping and tumbling in the air. Liu Ruyan's figure was as elegant and light as a monkey, while Luo Lin's figure was slightly fat and seemed to be less agile than steady. His movements were a little slow but he was calm and leisurely. Amidst the sound of a series of iron weapons clashing, in the blink of an eye Both sides have made dozens of attacks, but they are still indistinguishable.
After several fights, the two men jumped out of the house and landed in the yard. The fierce fighting sound made the big yellow dog restless and barking, and the livestock in the yard were scattered in all directions. Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely and were inseparable, two figures suddenly flew out of the forest and landed on the spot. But it was the two mysterious men from before who actually appeared again.
The two people landed in the yard. Liu Ruyan and Luo Lin were startled. They both looked at the two people and stopped moving their hands. Liu Ruyan thought: Why are these two people back again? They must not have really left. When they heard the noise here, they turned back to take advantage of the fish and clams to fight and reap the benefits! Hehehe, these two people are quite good at making plans, and it seems that they are definitely not good friends. Let’s see what their intentions are.
The short, fat man suddenly hugged Luo Lin and said, "Gang Leader Luo, long time no see!" He glanced sideways at Liu Ruyan, frowned and said quietly, "Who is this?"
Liu Ruyan did not answer, but looked at everyone present with full vigilance. He had expected that the situation would become more complicated with the appearance of these two people.
The tall and slim man smiled and said: "It seems that we came at the wrong time today. Gang leader Luo, are you okay?" He looked at Luo Lin with concern, his eyes fell on the short knife in his hand, and there was a slight surprise on his face.
Luo Lin clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "So you are two brothers. What are you doing here?"
The short and fat man said: "I have something to discuss with Gang Leader Luo, but today..." When he saw a stranger nearby, he stopped talking, as if it was inconvenient to talk to outsiders.
Luo Lin felt unhappy when he saw these two people arriving unexpectedly. He couldn't get angry because of his face, so he could only say coldly: "I have something to do today, so I'm afraid there will be much inconvenience. If anything happens to you two brothers, please wait for another day." Let’s discuss it!”
The tall man's face darkened, and he immediately smiled and said: "Gang Leader Luo, our brother's matters are not that important. Let's deal with your urgent matters first, Gang Leader Luo. Gang Leader Luo, if our brother's place is needed, you can Don’t be polite!”
Luo Lin waved his hand gently and said calmly: "Luo Mou appreciates the kindness of the two brothers. It's a waste of trouble for you two, so please come back!" His face was serious, and although he said it very tactfully, he could be regarded as giving an eviction order. , he was depressed and couldn't think of dealing with them.
The short, fat man cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first and come back to visit Gang Leader Luo when he's free. Sorry for bothering you!" This second time he was rejected, he felt angry in his heart, but he still looked calm and looked at him. Liu Ruyan glanced at it, then waved to the tall man and said, "Let's go!"
