Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 105 Giondy

Xingde, a native of Zezhou, is a hero of the Green Forest. He can pull a strong bow, send beads and arrows, and is the champion of the group. Life is depressed, not good at management, go out to do business, lose more and earn less. However, because of his mastery in martial arts, the two Beijing businessmen love to make friends with him, go out to talk about business, and often take him with him without fear.

In the early winter of this year, two or three businessmen raised funds and invited Xing De to go to Kyoto together. Xing De was thinking about getting rich and happily agreed. He had a friend who was good at divination. Before Xing De left, he asked his friend to gossip. His friend said, "This hexagram is a word 'repentance'. You will regain your old business on this trip and make a fortune, but in the end it is empty joy. Happy." Hearing this, Xing De was unhappy and came to Kyoto with the businessman. After a business was done, he lost nothing.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xing De went out of the city alone. He remembered that the New Year was approaching, but he was penniless and became more and more annoyed. It was foggy in the morning, and the road was difficult to tell. Xing De came to a nearby hotel to get drunk. He saw a white-haired old man drinking at the same table with two teenagers, and a yellow-haired and fluffy child was waiting beside him. Xing De sat down at the table opposite the old man and looked at the three people while drinking.

When the child poured the wine, he inadhemently knocked over the wine glass, and the wine splashed, making the old man's clothes wet. A teenager was furious. He slapped Tong'er, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the dirt for the old man.

Xing De found that the child was wearing an iron arrow ring on both hands and thumbs, which was half an inch thick, and each iron ring weighed about two taels. After dinner, the old man ordered the teenager to take out a lot of gold and silver from the package, pile it on the table, weigh it with a scale, and calculate the total amount. After a cup of tea, the teenager calculated the accounts and put the gold and silver back into the package to hide it. Another teenager pulled out a lame black mule from the manger and helped the old man get on the back of the mule. The child also took out a thin horse and followed him. The two teenagers carried bows and arrows around their waists, each rode a white horse, and the four of them went out.

Xing De looked on the sidelines coldly. Seeing that the old man was pregnant with a huge wealth and greed, he rushed out of the hotel and followed him all the way. The old man and the child rode slowly. Xing De caught up with the path, stopped the old man, bent his bow and pulled arrows, and looked at each other angrily.

The old man leaned over and took off his left leather boots and smiled, "Don't you recognize me?" Xing De pulled the bow with strength, and the arrow was like a meteor. He took the key point of the old man. The old man didn't care. He casually stretched out his left foot, gently clamped his two toes, clamped the arrow, and said with a smile, "With such a little ability, how dare you be my enemy?" Xing De was furious and used a unique skill of continuous beads and arrows. One arrow was just fired, and the arrow followed. The old man reached out and grabbed an arrow. It seemed that he didn't expect that Xing De had the ability to shoot two arrows in a row. The second arrow hit the mouth and fell to the ground. He held the arrow in his mouth, closed his eyes and lay stiffly. Tong'er was also scared and jumped off the horse.

Xing De was overjoyed and thought that the old man had been shot to death, so he checked closely. The old man suddenly spit out an arrow, jumped up, applauded and smiled, "Why do you play such a prank for the first time?" Xing De was shocked, and the mount was frightened to escape. He knew that the old man was extremely human, and he was so scared that he fled in a hurry.

Walking out of thirty-four miles, he met an official who escorted money to Beijing. Xing De was overjoyed and forcibly robbed the officers and soldiers, grabbed more than a thousand taels of gold, and was in high spirits. The horse was galloping, and there was a sound of hoofs behind him. Looking back, it was the child who rode a lame mule to chase him, driving as if flying, and shouted, "Don't go, the silver you robbed, share half of me." Xing De said angrily, "Don't you know that I'm 'Lianzhu Arrow Xingde'?" Tong Er smiled and said, "I've just learned it."

Xing De saw that Tong'er was not good-looking, and he didn't have weapons around him. He didn't pay attention to it. He bent his bow and set up arrows, and fired three arrows in a row. The arrows flew like a flock of birds and took Tong'er's throat straight. Tong'er was not in a hurry. She took two arrows in her left and right hands, bit one in her mouth, and said with a smile, "Just these two three-legged cat kung fu, don't come out and be ashamed. I came in a hurry and forgot to carry the iron bow. These three arrows are useless. I'll give them back to you. While talking, he took off the iron ring of his fingers, folded the three arrows together, penetrated into the ring, and threw them hard. The arrows went away like the wind, whining, and went straight to Xing De's chest. Xing De was shocked and hurriedly resisted with the bow string. The bow string touched the iron ring and was interrupted. The remaining strength of the iron ring was not weak, and the bow handle was broken intermittently.

Xing De was so shocked that he didn't have time to give up. He gave the arrow through his earlobe and fell to the ground. Tong'er smiled, got off the horse and walked to him, and reached out to search for gold and silver in Xing Dehuai. Xing De counterattacked with a broken bow. Tong'er split his hand to avoid the iron bow and gently folded it. The iron tire bow was divided into two, then folded, two into four, and threw it on the ground casually.

The child held Xing De's arms with only one hand and stretched out his left foot to step on his legs. Xing De struggled hard, but his hands and feet were sore and he couldn't move at all. He wrapped two layers of thick and soft belts around his waist. The child's two fingers were gently pinched, and the belt was broken. It broke into a pile of powder. He took away all the more than a thousand taels of gold. He raised his fist and said, "Meng Lang, how offended you are." Step away.

Xing De received this lesson. After returning home, he changed his mind and was kind-hearted. I often mention humiliation to my friends, and I don't shy away from it.
