Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 79 What is backbone?
"I'm afraid that woman won't give up." Liu Ran sat down on the table and chairs beside the yard, looking in the direction of the door and said.
"You mean she came back to find you?" Li Si seemed a little puzzled: "She is your enemy?"
But after thinking for a while, his expression became teasing again and he asked.
"Or your old lover?"
No wonder they were so ruthless. In the underworld, these two types of people are the most difficult to deal with. Sometimes the latter is more troublesome than the former.
"You are really amazing. You can even lay your hands on such a fierce woman." Li Si patted Liu Ran's shoulder with a smile and leaned on the table next to him.
"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Ran rolled her eyes at him and said with a sigh, "I mean she will go find other people in the martial arts world, because she told me when she came to my house that I was the first person she challenged."
"The first person..." Li Si seemed to have realized something , and the smile on his face faded a little.
Liu Ran continued, "With her swordsmanship, there aren't many people in the martial arts world who can take her down. And she doesn't know how to control her strength. If we let her go on like this, I'm afraid something big will happen."
Just like today, if Li Si was not present, he would probably have died.
After all, he was a famous master, but he couldn't withstand dozens of moves from the tiger-wielding woman. This showed that the tiger-wielding woman's martial arts was definitely stronger than most people in the martial arts world.
Therefore, if that female sorcerer was allowed to challenge the martial artists from all over the place, there would probably be only two results: one is her death, and the other is the death of the person she challenged.
"We have to think of a way." Liu Ran said. Although he didn't care about worldly affairs, he couldn't just sit there and watch so many lives being lost.
"How about we draft a message and send it to Fengyu Tower, asking them to spread the news so as to remind the people in the martial arts world to be careful?"
After hearing Liu Ran's concern, Li Si immediately shook his head.
"Not good. Those who would accept her challenge will still do so. If we do this, it will only make those who would not be challenged by her challenge her in the first place, so that she can gain fame. There are many people in the martial arts world who would rather die than be famous. Acting like this will probably make things worse."
Apparently Liu Ran had lived in this small courtyard for too long and didn't know much about the people in the martial arts world.
It is almost impossible to make those restless guys be careful of an unknown woman with just one piece of information.
"What should we do?" Liu Ran frowned, obviously there was no good solution for the time being.
We can't just arrest that woman. If we want to arrest her, how to arrest her, what reason to use, and where to arrest her are all problems.
Li Si, who was sitting on the side, also calmed down. After a while, he stretched and said.
"Well, forget it. I'll just follow and watch. You should feel more at ease with me around."
Liu Ran was stunned at first, because this was a very troublesome matter and had nothing to do with Li Si, so there was no need for him to care about it to this extent.
But then, he smiled again, shook his head in relief and said...
"I just don't know whether to say you are a thief or a good person."
Li Si is always like this, somewhere between black and white, making it difficult for people to figure out what he is like.
Just like this matter, even some decent people would not care to such an extent, but he did it and acted as if it was his right.
"Just treat me as a thief, because that's what I am anyway."
Li Si smiled, waved his hand, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." Liu Ran called him again.
"What's wrong?" Li Si turned his head puzzledly, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of nervousness in his eyes for some reason.
"Have you finished drawing those three paintings in your arms?" Liu Ran asked suspiciously, looking at him as he sat at the table.
It turned out that Li Si was holding three scrolls in his arms.
Li Si smacked his lips awkwardly, as if his little trick had been discovered by someone, and said with a wry smile.
"I don't have time. I just arrived at the study and the woman came."
"Then come back."
Liu Ran stretched out one of his hands and said with a helpless look , "It's already this time and he's still thinking of stealing his things. This guy is indeed a thief."
Being caught red-handed, Li Si had no choice but to hand over the scroll in his arms in disappointment and said with a wry smile.
"I don't have any money to travel now, you can't let me chase that woman on an empty stomach."
Liu Ran glanced at Li Si helplessly, sighed, took out a purse from his waist and handed it to him.
"You can use this money first. Don't take the paintings in the study away until you finish them."
That was proof that he won. The fact that Li Si failed to paint his picture meant that he won.
Liu Ran's persistence in painting is much greater than his persistence in martial arts.
"Oh, okay."
When he saw the purse, Li Si's eyes suddenly lit up and he took it with a smile. He was not so persistent. As long as he had money and wine to drink, it was fine.
Looking at this man's fawning look, Liu Ran felt a headache again.
I really don't know how this person could draw his paintings. He doesn't have any backbone at all.
…
Shu Hunu left Yanshan Lake. At night, she found a cave on the road and planned to spend the night in it.
Her symptoms had not yet improved, or rather, they had become more severe. After the soreness, all she felt was pure pain.
She felt as if all the bones in her body were falling apart and she had no strength at all, especially her right wrist, which hurt so much that she couldn't even hold the sword.
She found some dead branches and fallen leaves, lit a not-so-strong fire, and leaned against the cave, ready to rest for the night.
In the second half of the night, it started raining outside the cave.
The fire in the cave flickered, casting the shadow of the tiger girl on the stone wall of the cave. The tiger girl had not fallen asleep yet.
She leaned against a rock, listened to the sound of rain outside the cave, and opened her eyes.
She lost today, and lost miserably, with no possibility of turning defeat into victory.
She felt empty inside. She had this feeling every time she lost, just like when she lost the golden Buddha six years ago.
She didn't know why, maybe it was because she felt that after losing, she had lost some meaning.
She was bought as a sword slave since she was young, and the only thing she learned was how to make a good sword.
In the words of the master, this is the only meaning of her existence.
A useful sword cannot be lost. If a sword is lost, there is no need to keep it.
Before she knew it, the tiger girl had already tightly grasped the sword in her hand, until her knuckles turned white.
She didn't want to lose again because she didn't want to lose her only meaning.
Because she didn't want to be abandoned again. She didn't want to be thrown into the desert like she was when she was a child, with only yellow sand in front of her, no one listening to her words, and no one responding to her cries.
She was so afraid of that place, so afraid of that endless stretch of sand.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the cave.
As the footsteps approached, a man in white walked in. He patted his clothes and complained.
"Damn it, this unfortunate rain, why does it start to fall as soon as it is said?"
