Chapter 16 The Starry Sky(1/2)

A close-up of Xia Yi's face was played on the screen. There was only one ring in the entire guild hall. All other martial arts disciples watching the game, as well as reporters and audiences outside, quieted down in the sound of his words spreading in the microphone.

After a moment, a slight discussion arose. Many people holding cameras were taking photos around the ring. Most of the more than 20 contestants who were still on the table did not make any noise. Among the few who had just advanced, they were as if they were afraid of being drawn to their names, and their bodies hanged slightly.

In a competition at the opening ceremony yesterday, Xia Yi's scene of a blow-off of his opponent with one hand has been spread.

The cockscomb head is also quite famous in the martial arts circle of Jiaohe County. Although the nunchakus looks fancy, his skills are solid. At least some people once were unhappy about him and were repaired. They went to the hospital for two months. However, Xia Yi knocked him unconscious. Now that he saw the other party, he abstained from the right.

On the other side, in the guest seat, several well-known figures in Jiaohe County whispered to discuss with the president of the local martial arts association for a while, and then agreed to Xia Yi's request.

On the one hand, a person with high martial arts skills suddenly emerged in a small county town. If he reached the municipal level, provincial level or even national competition, it would be extremely important for the moment when Jiaohe County was about to be promoted to the city.

"Agree with the request of Player No. 16!"

In the final announcement, the audience in the hall was boiling. Even those who were not interested in the competition but who were waiting outside could not help but be curious when they heard the boiling sound, they rushed in, filling the entire hall with a lot of curiosity.

Noisy sounds mixed together.

"Who is that person?"

"......I don't know, it seems very powerful."

"I've watched yesterday's game. The No. 16 is very strong and is likely to be a big dark horse."

Amid the slightest whispers, the spotlight above the hall finally stopped with the numbers flipping on the big screen, and fell on a slender man wearing a long-sleeved jacket.

"I would like to invite the No. 10 contestant—"

As the host's voice fell, the man who was being tracked was carrying a long sword and wearing a pair of white cloth shoes. He walked slowly on the ring. His thin cheeks were full of energy and his thumb did not leave the hilt near the sword hilt for a moment.

The other party held his sword and fisted: "Chen Li, please give me advice!"

"Xia Yi!" Xia Yi held her fists and returned to the salute.

There were many people sitting in the audience seats, some shouting and some cheering. Xiaoyu hugged the pudding tightly in her arms. She couldn't see it, but she could hear the excitement around her. She bit her lower lip and frowned with her thin willow eyebrows, "Is it going to start? How is Brother Yi preparing? Is the opponent powerful?"

"I haven't fought yet, but Lao Yi's opponent is like a bamboo pole..."

Just as the fat man's voice, the bell rang on the referee's seat.

The competition begins!

Step on...

A pair of white cloth shoes ran across the ground of the ring, and as they stepped forward, the moment the cold light in Chen Li's hand was pushed out, the scabbard flew out first. Xia Yi waved his hand and opened the flying long sheath, and the sword edge stabbed towards him.

Bang!

The sword tip hit the gun bar, and Xia Yi shook his arms forward, pushing the opponent away with the sword together.

"Good force--" The man said the moment he twisted his feet and turned his body back. The sword was like flowing water. As several swords were blocked by the spear head, Xia Yi's eyes trembled, and the red tassel gun in his hand suddenly accelerated. The spear head and spear body were fiercely stinging fiercely, and the sharp end was like a poisonous snake spitting a letter.

Poke, click, pick, and cover each other's body.

After a moment, Xia Yi turned his wrist and the spear that had originally stabbed the opponent suddenly reached the bottom of the sword. He raised his arm and threw the iron sword high from Chen Li's hand into the sky above the ring.

The next second, the spear penetrated halfway into the ring, and Xia Yi pulled the long soldiers with his arms. In the blink of an eye, the gun rod became bent. His hands loosened, and the gun rod that was bent to the extreme bounced back with a buzzing sound.

Bang—

The slender figure of the white coat was suddenly hit by the backward tail of the gun, and fell on the ring and slid out a long piece. When he stopped, the long sword that flew in the air and inserted it into the ring.

The hilt of the sword swayed left and right, causing a slight tremor.

"I won, right?" Xia Yi pulled out the red tassel spear and his tone was plain.

"You won..." The referee looked at the time, but only five minutes had passed, and he quickly blew the whistle, and the referee's seat also woke up from a dream and rang the bell at the end of the game.

In the audience, the fat man stood up excitedly with his hands on his mouth and shouted: "Look, that's my brother!!! My brother won--"

There were boiling shouts all around. Although the time was short, unlike those in other competitions, Xia Yi's moves were both ornamental and very powerful martial arts. Especially when it was not hurt, the spearhead was inserted into the ring and the gun bar was bent and the opponent was knocked down, which made some of the little girls present excited, especially Xia Yi's handsome appearance and a cold feeling between her eyebrows, which almost made them scream.

After the game, Xia Yi took Xiaoyu and the fat man out of the hall. The girl was shaking her hands, and the excited blush on her face was still left. Even if she couldn't see it, she could still feel that it was definitely a very good game.

Well, Brother Yi must be very awesome... She thought so in her heart.

"Next, where are we going?" The fat man stepped on the tricycle and looked up at the sky. "It's still early, and Xiaoyu is hard to come out, so he might as well take her around."

Wow—

Pudding screamed twice in the girl's arms as if agreeing.

Xia Yi looked at Xiaoyu who was sitting next to him and was embarrassed to speak, nodded and said, "Just go to the park."

"Haole, you two are ready!"

Sanlu left the docking alley, and it was a sunny time outside.

On the other side of the city, clouds gradually floated over. A building near the suburbs was covered with rust chimneys and the ground was covered with weeds. Occasionally, you could see traces of people walking past. The exterior wall with the painted surface was exposed on it, and a large red brick wall was exposed. Here, it looked like an abandoned factory for a long time.

In the tattered window, vocals of shouting were faintly heard, including men and women.

Under the rusty lampshade, smoke filled the sky, and a group of figures of various colors surrounded several long tables, shouting wildly, the pitch-black cup dice was untied, and sighing sounds were heard on many people, and some even burst into tears in despair, and then they were thrown out by several big men with tattoos.

On one of the tables, a man in his forties was wearing a white shirt and was called out with a depressed look on his face. He was stopped before he could walk a few steps.

"Boss Jiang, I'll leave so soon today, don't you play a few more?" A strong man wearing a gray shirt and a black vest walked down the iron ladder next to him with a few people.

The man who was called off rubbed his wrinkled leather shoes and waved his hands repeatedly: "The boss doesn't dare to be it, I'll treat it here today, it's time to go back."

"You're out of money, right?"

The person who came down patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "But... it's time to calculate your debt. You lost 300,000 here in total, and 100,000 of them are owed. You have to know that the interest is not cheap. Boss Jiang, when will you come and settle the debt?"

"Let's take a few days off, I'm short of a person recently."

The man nodded, walked to the other side of the room, approached the other side and whispered: "Then it's just a few days, but I can't take it out. I want to use your grocery store as interest. I heard that you have a daughter who is very beautiful. I have a nightclub in the city, so I don't mind taking her in. What do you think?"

"Yes, I'll find a way."

The man surnamed Jiang nodded repeatedly, then walked out, rubbed his hair hard, and shouted loudly. In the factory, the man with a flat-headed vest greeted several gambling friends with a smile, and walked up the iron ladder, with a person sitting on it - Chang Wu.

"Master Chang, it's boring to do this. It's better to just find someone to tie the woman up."

Chang Wu crossed his feet onto an exposed woman's legs, took off the cigarette in her mouth, looked at the other person with a squint eyes, and vomited a sip of smoke.

"You are stupid. You have to go to jail if you tie someone up. Besides, this is decided by the boss. There is a series of plans behind it. I have seen it. With the boss's method, I understand why we can only be the subordinates. Well, this is the first step, just watch the show later."

He retracted his feet, sat up straight, hooked his fingers to the woman's chin in front of him, and smiled, "Or, I'll tell you back."

"Ha ha--"

On the sofa, the two of them looked at each other for a while and burst into laughter.

************

The sun is tilted, and in the noisy city, the park is a rare quiet place.

The breeze blows through the willows, and the delicate willow branches ripples on the quiet lake surface. Along the small lake path of the park, the two people walking with their hands, walking through the shade of willows one after another, like a couple walking.

“Is there a lot of people around here…”

"Not a lot, what's wrong?"

"I'm afraid they can see that I'm a blind person..."

"...I'm still a poor guy."

"It's different, I can't see it."

"Luckily you can't see it, otherwise you would be scared by my appearance. I'm very ugly. Several groups of people in front of me ran away immediately and didn't dare to look back."

"Hehe...liar."

Xiaoyu felt the warmth of the man's palm, and her face was always red. She only raised her up when she smiled, revealing a pair of dimples. Perhaps only for two people, she suddenly stood still and grabbed Xia Yi.

"Brother Yi... You said you are ugly, I don't believe me, I want to touch your face..." At this point, his voice became weaker, with a questioning tone, "...Is that okay?"

Xia Yi turned her face and smiled: "Touch it, don't be scared."

With permission, two slender and fair palms slowly stretched over. When the fingertips touched Xia Yi's face, they shrank slightly, and finally put them on, slowly rubbing the outline of the man.

The girl whispered: "Brother Yi...what was that girl like back then? Wasn't she very good-looking and kind?"

The wind blew over, the willow branches swayed, and Xia Yi looked at the shimmering waves all over the lake. Occasionally, a few white water birds flew low and rushed to the water to take away the fish. It took him a long time before he thought of answering.

"It's very nice... and very kind. Most of the rural children are very simple."

Touched my eyebrows with my fingers.

"Did you ever regret it?"

"There is nothing in this world that you don't regret after you do it. Don't regret it. At least I have thought about avenging her. Although I didn't kill that bastard with my own hands in the end, I finally sent the other party to prison, which is also considered revenge. Now... it's a new life, and it has nothing to do with her."

Xiaoyu's mouth slightly raised, she withdrew her hand, pinched the corner of her clothes nervously, and stammered with a red face: "Will you still accept a girl again... Even if she has some flaws..."

"Oh……"

"What are you laughing at... Say..."

Xia Yi held the girl's hand and hugged her, hugged her in her arms, and said in her ear: "Accept... I am willing to accept such a girl. She is the only one who doesn't look down on me, Xia Yi has been in prison, and she is a poor man..."

The girl lay on her broad chest and her hands gradually tightened.

In the distance, the fat man sat on the park bench and looked at the man and woman hugging each other from afar, and hummed, "......I don't say I'll take me one."
To be continued...
