Northern River Sword

Qiu Yuhua woke up.

It was dark, damp and gloomy, like a cave.The big water rushes outside the cave, and a waterfall falls from the entrance of the cave. The water curtain forms a natural barrier, isolating everything from the outside world.

Qiu Yuhua was still not clear-headed. She thought she was dead, but a sharp pain came from her right arm.She wondered in a daze, "Do dead people know pain?"

She sat up, felt the sore spot with her left hand, and found that her right arm was broken.Suddenly heard a voice behind her saying: "Are you awake?"

Qiu Yuhua was startled, and followed the prestige.Her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and she saw a man sitting not far from her.The man was about her age, thin and pale, with deep-set eyes and deep eyes, as if he was always on his mind.

Qiu Yuhua didn't expect that there were still people here. After thinking about it carefully, she was washed down by the mud flow.If someone hadn't rescued her, she would never have been lying in this cave, and she would have been buried alive in the mud by now.

Qiu Yuhua said: "Did you save me?"

The man didn't answer, but asked instead, "Who are you?"

Seeing some animal furs lying on the ground, Qiu Yuhua guessed that he might be a nearby hunter who was trapped here due to heavy rain, and felt sympathy for him.She said: "My name is Qiu Yuhua. My father is the owner of the Qiu Family Village. Thank you for saving my life. When I get out of trouble, I will ask my father to thank you."

The man's expression suddenly became ugly, he stared straight at Qiu Yuhua, and said, "Are you Qiu Guangcheng's daughter?"

Qiu Yuhua felt that his appearance was a little scary, and hesitantly said, "You...you know my father?"

The man got up suddenly, rushed to Qiu Yuhua, and grabbed her by the neck.Qiu Yuhua was taken aback, and said anxiously: "What are you doing, let me go!" As he spoke, he used his grabbing hand to grab the man's wrist joint.The man ran down her arm with his left hand, and touched two acupoints, Tianquan and Qiemen.Qiu Yuhua's left hand went numb for a while, and his right arm was broken again. The slightest movement caused excruciating pain, and he was unable to fight back for a while.The man's hands were like iron tongs, tightening his grip more and more, as if he was about to take her life immediately.

Qiu Yuhua struggled hard and kicked him a few times, but all of them were in vain.The space in the cave was narrow, so the man threw her against the stone wall, grabbed her left arm, bent her over, and pressed her head and face against the stone.

The man said: "It's really a narrow road to enemies. God opened his eyes and told me to pick up my enemies and come back. Since you are Qiu Guangcheng's daughter, I can't let you die happily."

Qiu Yuhua's martial arts were far inferior to his, trembling all over, cursing angrily: "Who are you, don't hide your head and show your tail! My father is a great hero. If you have a grudge against him, then you must be a shameless fellow!" Big villain!"

The man laughed loudly when he heard this, and said coldly: "What the people in the Jianghu say has nothing to do with me! Those so-called heroes in the Seven Leagues are the ones who are really doing evil in secret for their fame, and their hypocrisy is disgusting!"

Qiu Yuhua knew that fighting with this lunatic would not gain any advantage.Just now Xue Hongliao jumped down with him, at this time the members of the Beggar Gang must be nearby.She yelled loudly: "Help, help!" The waterfall outside rushed down, and the huge sound of water isolated everything.

Qiu Yuhua vaguely heard someone calling her name, she was overjoyed, she turned around and punched the man in the face, and fled away, shouting loudly: "I'm here, come and save me!"

The man caught up, covered Qiu Yuhua's mouth, and dragged her back.Not to be outdone, Qiu Yuhua opened his mouth and bit a piece of flesh in the palm of his hand.The man raised his hand and slapped Qiu Yuhua across the face.Qiu Yuhua's face was in hot pain, and tears were streaming down his face. He bit his mouth so hard that blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.The man's fingers twitched from the pain, he sneered twice, and said: "The little girl can still eat people."

While speaking, he slapped the back of her neck with a palm.Qiu Yuhua froze and passed out.

Qiu Yuhua didn't know how long he slept, but when he woke up again, he was still in that cave.She wanted to stand up, but found that the acupuncture points of her hands and feet were sealed, and only her head and neck could move.Qiu Yuhua closed his eyes, hoping that he could get rid of all this, but when he opened his eyes, he found that this was a nightmare from which he could not wake up.

The air was filled with the smell of blood. The man was sitting deep in the cave, eating a bloody rabbit leg.

Qiu Yuhua frowned. Seeing that she was awake, the man got up and walked over.Qiu Yuhua didn't want to talk to him, so he turned his head away.The man cut off a front leg with a knife and handed it to her, asking, "Do you want to eat it?"

Qiu Yuhua felt sick for a while, and thought: "You look so good in life, why do you have to drink blood like a hair." She didn't make a sound, and the man didn't force her, turned around and left.

Qiu Yuhua said bitterly: "Are you a savage?"

That person's temper is hard to fathom. He was determined to kill her just now, but now he seems to have changed his mind. He was not angry when he was deliberately provoked by her, and said indifferently: "If you start a fire here, you will be choked to death by the smoke. It's so humid that you can't light a fire." Come."

Qiu Yuhua said: "Why don't you kill me?"

The man said coldly: "I have the final say whether to kill you or not, so you don't have to worry about it."

Qiu Yuhua got a little annoyed, and said: "Scholars can be killed, but you can't be humiliated. If you want to kill me, you can give me a good time. Our Qiu family is all tough. If you want to use me to threaten my father, then you have made a mistake! "

The corner of the man's mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "You are quite clear about what you said. Qiu Guangcheng does not recognize his relatives, even if you die in front of him, I'm afraid he won't even bat an eye."

Qiu Yuhua snorted and said, "You're talking nonsense! My father loves me the most, so don't sow discord here!"

The man smiled and ignored her at all.Qiu Yuhua felt that he couldn't get cheap with this person, and he couldn't fight against him, so he was very reluctant to talk to him.The two were silent for a long time, as if fighting against each other, neither of them made a sound first.

The man built a circle with stones, covered it with branches and stones, and kept several hares inside.He grabbed a hare from the pen, brought it to Qiu Yuhua by its ears, and threw it on her, but he didn't say why he gave it to her.

The gray rabbit is fluffy, its fur is wet, it seems a little afraid of the cold, and a little timid, curled up tightly on Qiu Yuhua's lap.Qiu Yuhua couldn't help touching it, feeling better with this little thing by his side.

Qiu Yuhua took a look at the man and felt that he pitied her, so he brought her a rabbit as a companion.This thought flashed through her mind, and then she was overwhelmed by disgust. This man scolded her father as a hypocrite, which shows that he is not a good person.The Qiu family holds a very important position in the Jianghu, and has always been jealous of evil.If she had met such a villain in normal times, and it was too late to kill him to save the world from harm, how could she accept his love!

Qiu Yuhua desperately wondered who this person could be, and caught a glimpse of the long sword beside him. The sword was completely black, and a sea-blue gemstone was inlaid on the scabbard.She had heard about this sword a long time ago, and she was taken aback when she saw it, and she lost her voice: "Beihe Sword!"

The man didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "Miss is very knowledgeable, this is the Beihe Sword."

Qiu Yuhua said: "The sword is on you. Could it be that you are the one who killed Sixth Uncle Hu and Fourth Uncle Xie?"

The man didn't care about Qiu Yuhua's question, but frowned and said, "Xie Biao is dead? Who killed him?"

Qiu Yuhua realized that the person in front of him was the one who dared to single-handedly break into Biquan Villa to snatch the Beihe Sword, and he was also the frightening assassin.

The man asked, "Quickly tell me, how did Xie Biao die?"

Qiu Yuhua said in a trembling voice: "You...you are still pretending to be stupid. You were the one who killed Fourth Uncle Xie. Who else but you!"

The man pondered and said: "So you don't know who killed him... Although Xie Biao was injured that night, it's not like he couldn't make it through, and now he suddenly died in Qiujiazhuang. It's interesting."

Qiu Yuhua said, "What do you mean?"

The man didn't speak for a while, before he said after a long time: "A real man dares to act bravely. I will not pass on the people I kill to others. It is true that I killed Hu Tianxing, but Xie Biao must have been killed by your father."

Qiu Yuhua was immediately annoyed, and said loudly: "You are talking nonsense, my father and Fourth Uncle Xie are sworn brothers, how could you kill him!"

The man smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to believe it either. The mantis catching the cicada and the oriole are behind this matter. The inside story is a bit complicated, and you will always know it in the future."

Qiu Yuhua said angrily: "You don't have to lie in front of me, I won't believe anything you say. You have done a lot of evil, and the uncles and uncles in the Qiying League hate you to death. Everyone has cast a net, and we must arrest you and bring you back to Uncle Hu Take revenge with Fourth Uncle Xie!"

The man smiled slightly and said, "Not bad, your father has been patrolling nearby recently. I can't go anywhere, so you can stay here with me."

His expression is very arrogant, but with a strange attraction, people can't help but listen to him.

Knowing his identity, Qiu Yuhua was even more frightened than before, thinking that even if he died immediately, it would be better than being tortured with him.She is still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl after all, the more she thinks about it, the more wronged she becomes, tears rolling down her cheeks, she choked up and said, "I won't stay with you even if I die, you let me go, I want to go back! "

The man was wiping his sword, but he actually listened to her words and stopped.He said with a blank expression: "If you want to leave, just beg me, act like a baby or something, maybe if I soften my heart, I can forgive you."

Qiu Yuhua was shaken for a moment. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "I am a descendant of a famous family, which represents the identity and face of the Qiu family. I must not ask for help easily."

The man sighed, and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity. That's all we have to do."

Qiu Yuhua seemed to have room for negotiation in what he said, maybe as long as he opened his mouth, he would agree.She hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Then...then please, let me go."

The man said coldly: "It's useless to beg me. Look at these rabbits, which one did I let go?"

Qiu Yuhua was ashamed and annoyed, with tears streaming down his face, he said, "Then why do you ask me to beg you! You are lying!"

The man said with a smile: "I just want to see the appearance of Miss Qiu's family begging for help. Sure enough, the pear blossoms are so pitiful and very different."

After wiping the sword, he took out a rabbit, plucked the hair from its neck, bit its throat, and began to suck blood.The hare was still alive, kicking its legs and twitching uncontrollably.Qiu Yuhua was terrified, tears streaming down his face, and tremblingly said: "How can you be so cruel!"

After the man finished sucking the blood, he looked up at Qiu Yuhua with a very indifferent expression, and said, "When your cook slaughtered sheep, did you cry like that?"

Qiu Yuhua said earnestly: "That's different. A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Seeing him alive, he can't bear to see him die; hearing his voice, he can't bear to eat his flesh..."

The man laughed and scolded: "Hypocrisy. The most important thing to live is, do you want to eat?"

Qiu Yuhua couldn't reason with him, and said with red eyes: "I won't eat it to death, you kill me!"

The man was not angry, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sooner or later you will have time to eat."

He dropped the dead rabbit, walked up to Qiu Yuhua in a few steps, and looked down at her.Qiu Yuhua made him stare in fear, thinking that he was going to play some tricks, and said vigilantly: "What are you doing, stay away from me!"

The man reached out and touched her face. Qiu Yuhua was like a frightened bird, and angrily cursed: "You rascal, get out of here! If you dare to touch her face, even if I'm a ghost, I won't spare you!"

The man got his hands dirty, and said contemptuously: "You don't even look in the mirror, with your scruffy appearance, like a mud monkey, who would look up to you."

Qiu Yuhua shook his head, the dry mud on his body rustled down, and even his hair was knotted.She has always liked to be clean, and she has never been so dirty since she was born, and she has long felt uncomfortable all over her body.The man's clothes were neat and tidy, a little too clean.

He looked at her with disgust in his eyes. Qiu Yuhua was wearing men's clothes, and his body was dirty with mud.But that person was dressed in white clothes, clean and spotless, as proud as a peacock.Qiu Yuhua was actually a little ashamed of himself in front of him, and felt even more unhappy, saying: "If you think I'm sloppy, stay away from me, I don't want to see you either."

The man unlocked the acupuncture points on her arm and grabbed her right hand.Qiu Yuhua's face turned pale from the pain, and he struggled: "Let go, what will you do, you big villain, you will torture me!"

The man ignored her, touched the bone where her broken arm was connected, then tore off a strip of cloth from her clothes, tied it with a branch to fix it, stood up and said, "You begged me anyway, I, Qin Xiao Don't take advantage of others for nothing, we owe nothing to each other."

What he did was beyond Qiu Yuhua's expectation.She moved her arm carefully, feeling that the severed part didn't hurt so much, she felt relieved, and said to herself: "When I find a chance to escape, I will have a better chance of winning if the arm is connected."

The man seemed to be able to see through her mind, and said coldly: "Don't try to run. I can connect your arms, and I can break your two legs. If you don't believe me, try it."

Qiu Yuhua shuddered, a little angry in his heart, and felt for a long time that although this person had a poisonous mouth, his heart was not too bad.She said, "You... What did you say your name was Qin just now?"

The man stood at the entrance of the cave, reached out to catch a few drops of water, seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Xiao, the sound of heavy rain. It rained heavily on the day I was born, and the sound of rain is Xiaoxiao. Do you hear this sound?"

Looking at his smile, Qiu Yuhua's heart skipped a beat, then he lowered his eyes and said to himself, "These devils and heretics all know how to use magic. If you look into his eyes, your soul will be taken away by him. You must not relax your guard. .”

Qin Xiao stood in front of the water curtain for a while, then went back to the depths of the cave, sat cross-legged, and said, "I'm going to do my best. If you dare to disturb me, I'll cut off your tongue." Close your eyes and start practicing.

Qiu Yuhua immediately lifted his spirits, and thought: "This is a god-given opportunity, if you don't leave now, when will you wait!"
