The Legend of the Eagle Shepherd

Chapter 6: A Pair of Crutches

At dawn the next day, Qu Gu dragged Ouyang Ke into the city, which was already the boundary of Huzhou.Qu Gu knew that these naan breads and steamed buns would not last long, so he planned to earn some more money.The busiest place in Huzhou City is near the Town God's Temple, where stalls, juggling, and fighting arenas are all located here, and she also earned money here last time.

Although Qu Gu was looking for a way to make money, she was as innocent as a child, seeing that there were many people around the stall in front of her, she hurriedly went to watch the excitement.There were four rows of plates on the ground, and each row consisted of one to four plates from far to near, and each plate had a gadget placed on it. The nearest row was four worthless wormwood bracelets, and the last row was four. The farthest is a silver hairpin inlaid with a red coral bead, and the distance between each row is more than one meter.

The peddler shouted at the side of the stall, three pennies and three bamboo rings, as long as you get the one in the set, you can get the other for free.Many people were greedy for the silver hairpin, and they all went forward to pay three Wen, but none of them were able to catch it.Not only because the silver hairpin is the farthest, but also because the plate is in the way, almost the same size as the bamboo circle, with a sharp base, as soon as the bamboo circle touches the plate, the silver hairpin will be thrown out of the circle.

Qu Gu watched from the sidelines and found it amusing, and couldn't help being fascinated by it. Seeing that others got caught, he applauded and applauded, and when others didn't get caught, he shook his head and sighed.She didn't realize it until she heard Ouyang Ke cough heavily behind her, and turned to Ouyang Ke and said, "Dake, look, that's really interesting!"

After Qu Gu learned of Ouyang Ke's name, he also called him Da Ke, Da Ke.Seeing her calling him like that in public, Ouyang Ke really felt that it was a big shame, but he knew that Qu Gu was soft but not hard, and he managed to coax her to change her mind by mistake, so now he doesn't dare to offend her.So he suppressed his anger, but smiled gently, and said: "Well, we can also play, and we can earn the silver hairpin back as money."

Qu Gu shook his head, "No, I can't do it, just now there was someone who was already very good, but he didn't get caught."

Ouyang Ke squinted his eyes and smiled quite complacently.He has practiced martial arts with his uncle since he was a child, and he has learned a skill of throwing stones to touch acupuncture points, such trivial skills are not worth mentioning.He had taught those female disciples this skill in the White Camel Villa before, so he didn't have any taboos, so he waved to Qu Gu and said, "I have a way, just follow what I say, and I will guarantee you can do it." In the suit."

Qu Gu didn't have internal strength at all, but she was born with supernatural power, which is considered a gifted talent. This stone-throwing acupuncture point is also an outsider's skill. After listening to Ouyang Ke's instructions, Qu Gu used stones to hit leaves in the distance in a short while and achieved ten throws. eighth level.Ouyang Ke was quite surprised by Qu Gu's talent in martial arts.For now, though, that's a good thing.

After Qu Gu practiced, he walked to the side of the stall, took out three copper coins from the money he earned last night, and said to the peddler, "I want to play hoops too!"

Seeing Qu Gu's appearance like a little beggar, the peddler first looked down on her a bit, handed her three bamboo rings with a smile, and said mockingly: "Okay, but don't cry if you don't get it!"

Qu Gu giggled, and made a face at him, "I'm caught, don't cry!" After saying that, with a flick of his wrist, the first bamboo ring landed firmly on the second-to-last row of silver rings. on the earrings.Qu Gu succeeded for the first time, he couldn't help being extremely happy, he turned his head to look at Ouyang Ke, Ouyang Ke was leaning against the wall, although he couldn't see clearly how the battle was going, but seeing her smiling face, he knew he had succeeded, he couldn't help but suave He raised an eyebrow at her.

Feeling encouraged, Qu Gu threw out another bamboo ring, and sure enough, it caught another earring that was side by side. hairpin.

Qu Gu jumped up happily, and the crowd applauded and cheered.The peddler had a disheveled face.When Qu Gu got it for the first time, he just thought it was the little beggar who was lucky, but when he got it for the second time, he knew he had met a master, so he could only secretly beg her not to use the silver hairpin again, but However, God failed to fulfill people's wishes.At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he didn't dare to play tricks, so he had no choice but to give the pair of silver earrings and silver hairpin to Qu Gu.

Qu Gu took the trophy and ran back to show it to Ouyang Ke with great joy. Ouyang Ke only glanced at it, but was disappointed.These hairpins and earrings are not high-quality goods, except for the material, which is worth some money, even if they go to a pawn shop, they won't be able to pawn much money.He had no choice but to take the silver hairpin, his palm secretly tightened and it broke into five or six pieces immediately.

"Oh, why did you break the hairpin?!".

Ouyang Ke glanced at her angrily, "If you don't break it, why don't you use a hairpin to buy things?" These five or six cut silver hairpins and two silver ear pendants can be used as broken silver.

Aware of Qu Gu's silence, Ouyang Ke raised his eyes and saw Qu Gu's expression of pity, as if he was very reluctant.He only thought that Qu Gu was a girl after all, and he also liked jewelry and hairpins, so he hurriedly returned the red coral bead to her and said, "You can string this bead together, and I will buy you better ones in the future." .”

Qu Gu shook his head, "I don't want it. I just feel that this is the first time I got it... I'm a little bit reluctant. But we are short of money now, so it's right for you to do this. I also keep this bead for shopping. Bar."

Ouyang Ke was afraid that Qu Gu was going to break up again, so now seeing her acting well, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, instead he patted Qu Gu's head and said with a smile, "She's so sensible, she's such a good girl." It's so confusing.

When Qu Gu was young, Qu Lingfeng often rubbed the top of her hair so affectionately.Qu Gu's heart softened, and he felt even warmer, he couldn't help smiling at Ouyang Ke.Ouyang Ke was startled when he saw her bright smile, and took his hand back, not daring to meet her eyes, coughed lightly, and urged: "Let's get on the road as soon as possible, the sooner we get there, the better."

Qu Gu agreed, but suddenly remembered something, and said to Ouyang Ke: "Wait for me!" After saying that, he rushed into the lively crowd and disappeared.

After a while, Ouyang Ke just got impatient when he saw Qu Gu running back excitedly with two crutches, handed them to him and said, "I just bought it, and it only cost two yuan!" Satisfied, it seems that I have picked up a big bargain.

Ouyang Ke stared at the two crutches, and was reminded of painful memories. He was very angry, but he didn't dare to attack Qu Gu. He just endured it and pretended to be indifferent: "I don't need crutches. When I get to Zhongdu, my uncle will find me the best doctor to treat my legs."

Qu Gu couldn't help but regretfully said: "Then I bought it for nothing, two pennies..."

But only echoed in Ouyang Ke's mind. At that time, his uncle looked at his broken leg and sighed: "Ke'er, this is a remote place. When uncle takes you back to the Central Capital and the Western Regions, I will definitely find the best doctor for you! You And be patient first, don't worry."

But as soon as his uncle left, he heard the snake slaves secretly say: "The young master's legs won't be healed, how many doctors came last night, every one shook his head, and in the end they were all killed by the mountain master."

Ouyang Ke still remembered that his heart was blank at that time, but he still stubbornly believed that, as his uncle said, he would definitely find a doctor who could treat his leg injury.But now, he is separated from his uncle, will he have a chance to stand up again?

Ouyang Ke's chest was full of unwilling anger, and he wanted to throw the crutch far away, but his five fingers couldn't help but clenched it tightly, holding it tightly in his hands by some coincidence.Noticing that Qu Gu was looking at him strangely, he forced the corner of his mouth to pretend to be calm and said, "That's right, the two pennies...are lost, what a pity."

Qu Gu didn't know the entanglement in his heart, but he also noticed that he was duplicity, just thought this person was really strange.

At night, the two of them slept in the wild, Qu Gu was busy making a fire, and was about to call Ouyang Ke for help, but he saw him sitting on the side, holding the two crutches in his hands, the moonlight slanted on his side face, and even more so. Significantly depressed.

"Dake, don't you want to use crutches?" Qu Gu couldn't help asking because he couldn't bear to see him like this.

Ouyang Ke snorted, and put the crutches beside him, "It's not to make you feel sorry for the little money." Seeing that he was still trying to be brave, Qu Gu curled his lips, rushed up and snatched the crutches, Ouyang Ke Immediately grabbed one end of the crutch, "You...what are you doing! Let go!"

Qu Gu held the other end of the crutch, turned his head and thought for a while, blinked his big crystal clear eyes and said, "Oh, I see. Actually, you still want to use it, but you're too embarrassed to admit it, right?!"

As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Ke's expression darkened immediately, as if her pretending to be fearless appearance was easily pierced by her in an instant, and the weakness in his heart was exposed all of a sudden, he wanted to get angry instinctively, but he calmed down instantly, and secretly warned himself, If he can't bear it, he will make a big conspiracy, and it won't be too late to repay the humiliation he suffered today when he finds his uncle by relying on her.Then he smiled indifferently and denied, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing his unconcealable sullenness, Qu Gu squatted down and said seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense. You can't lie to me, but I know you're feeling uncomfortable. My dad is also lame, although he never Said, but I know he is suffering. He also uses crutches, but he can walk faster than others can run. Da Ke, don't be sad, don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you are limping, I won't Laughing at you." She used to be crazy and stupid, and she knew what it was like to be laughed at better than others.

These words made Ouyang Ke silent, Qu Gu smiled, thinking that he would be relieved, but he suddenly pushed the crutch, Qu Gu felt a burning sensation on the palm of his hand, and saw the crutch Has been thrown into the side of the fire.

Qu Gu was stunned, watching the crutches crackling in the flames and gradually turning into two scorched logs, "Dake, you..."

The light of the fire reflected Ouyang Ke's slightly pale handsome face, and he smiled proudly: "You are right, I am indeed afraid, but how can I, Ouyang Ke, be crippled all my life!" He looked at the two burnt logs and laughed at himself.If the young master of the White Camel Villa, dressed in white, was just a cripple with a cane from now on, he would rather throw himself into the fire like these two wooden sticks than die like this.
