Chapter 240 Just in Case
Su Tong pulled Qin Yi's sleeve and said:
"Brother Yi! Don't forget, I still have silver needles."
Qin Yi glanced at her calmly, "Nine o'clock and twelve o'clock."
Su Tong looked around, pulled his sleeve closer, and whispered:
"I know that in addition to the two armed guards, there are no fewer than six people wearing black turbans around the stage."
Qin Yi just looked at her without saying anything.
What I mean is, even though I know it, I still think about it.
The people around the wooden platform were gradually dispersing, and it seemed that there would not be the next challenge in the short term.
Qin Yi held Su Tong's shoulders, turned her around, and brought her back to the wooden building.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was closed, Su Tong moved.
She attacked Qin Yi's armpit directly. Qin Yi didn't look back. He pulled sideways as if he had eyes behind his back, and Su Tong was held in his arms from behind.
Su Tong refused to admit defeat and raised his leg to kick from behind. Qin Yi turned his head to avoid it, but Su Tong twisted his body in his arms and attacked his waist and back with both hands...
Qin Yi turned sideways, and using some unknown trick, he grabbed her wrist, pulled it and twisted it, and then held her face up in his arms again.
Su Tong wanted to make another move, but Qin Yi exerted a little force with his arms and she could no longer move.
Looking at the angry girl in his arms, Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Su Tong felt a little embarrassed, she blushed and said:
"That's not true! Your height and body shape are different from Noda's. If you were Noda's body shape, he wouldn't be able to use the move you just made."
Qin Yi looked at her for a moment before he spoke:
“Too dangerous!”
Su Tong said seriously: "Brother Yi, I'm not trying to show off, but I am confident that I can defeat Nuda. His strength lies in his great power and his flexible moves. Even if ordinary people can see his flaws, they may not have a chance to attack him."
"But I'm much smaller than him, and I'm good at small grappling, focusing on speed and technique, which is just the right way to defeat him."
As she spoke, she raised her wrist again, "If it doesn't work, I still have the silver needles. Even if I can't win, it won't be a problem to survive for an incense stick. I can guarantee that I won't suffer any loss."
"As for those people around, they are most likely here to watch the scene. If they follow the rules, they won't take action. Besides, if something goes wrong, we still have you!"
Qin Yi looked at Su Tong's slightly flattering expression and sighed softly in his heart.
He thought for a while and said to her:
"Use that move on me again, the faster the better."
Su Tong's eyes lit up and he immediately attacked him.
The two of them exchanged moves, Qin Yi used different moves to counter her moves, and then taught her how to deal with them, and then the two of them practiced it again.
More than half an hour passed like this, Su Tong was already out of breath, Qin Yi nodded and said:
"Okay."
Then, the two went out to find Mao Jia, hoping to buy some dry food from him.
Mao Jia happily led them to his home and said that his Ayi was not at home, otherwise he could cook for them.
"Ayi" is what the Yi people call their wives.
Su Tong directly borrowed Mao Jia's kitchen stove and asked Mao Jia to provide some corn bacon, and she could cook it herself.
While cooking, Su Tong asked Mao Jia, "Are all the people in this village Yi people?"
Mao Jia nodded and said, "It was like that a long time ago. Now there are all kinds of people, including Tujia, Qiang, Miao, and Han people, but the owner of the village has always been the Yi people."
Qin Yi was more direct and asked, "What are those guards with guns doing upstairs on both sides of the stage?"
Mao Jia was not surprised and replied, "That's to protect the warriors. Last time, a man's brother was almost beaten to death on the stage. The man was so anxious that he wanted to pull out his gun, but he was killed by the guards."
Qin Yi nodded to show that he understood.
After dinner, Qin Yi asked Mao Jia to take them around the village.
Mao Jia didn't know what could be happening in the village now that it was dark, but since there was money to be made, he didn't say much. He lit a torch and led them out.
Mao Jia remembered that the two outsiders were quite aloof at first, but for some reason, they asked a lot of questions now. They asked about the houses, trees, roads... They walked very slowly and looked very carefully...
Although he found it strange, he still patiently answered the question for the sake of the money.
When they finally returned to their residence after a long journey, Qin Yi suddenly asked Mao Jia for help, saying that they wanted to challenge Nuda.
Mao Jia was stunned.
Judging from the appearance and dress of these two men, they look more like business owners.
Although most of the people who came to the village during this period were wanderers, there were also bosses who came to do "business". Of course, the "business" was not ordinary business... but it was rare to see bosses who would fight and kill on their own.
Although Mao Jia was surprised, he still took them to Bimo to register for the sake of his "financial sponsor".
"Bimo" is the person whose status in the village is second only to "Zimo", and "Zimo" is the leader of the village.
Bimo, who was in his sixties, took out two signs and asked them which warrior they wanted to challenge.
Sure enough, one of the signs said Nuda and the other said Yangqi.
Qin Yi pointed at the Nuda brand.
Bimo nodded, and then asked them to pay the fee. It turned out that the "registration fee" for challenging a warrior once was as high as fifty yuan.
It is said that a few days ago, a "boss" sent out five of his men to challenge Yang Qi in order to find out his martial arts skills, but three of them died and two were disabled.
It's definitely a waste of money and a loss of life.
Bimo collected the fee and took out something similar to a "life and death statement" and asked Qin Yi to sign it.
The certificate of life and death roughly states that within one stick of incense on stage, life and death will be determined by fate.
At the end of one stick of incense, if there is no winner, the challenger loses, but the warrior is not allowed to attack the challenger again.
During the competition, no one else is allowed to interfere in any form, otherwise the surrounding guards will directly punish them.
Su Tong then asked a question, how do you defeat a warrior? Is it to knock him down? Or like the previous match, to beat him so hard that he can't speak?
Bimo looked at Su Tong with some contempt and said, "The warrior will raise his hand to indicate his surrender. Of course, if the challenger is capable and wants to knock the warrior down or beat him speechless, no one will stop him. Within one stick of incense, the life and death of both parties will be determined by fate."
Su Tong nodded and understood!
Then she took the "death certificate" and signed her name "Ma Lan".
Now, Bimo was surprised.
He always thought that the person he wanted to challenge was Qin Yi, but he didn't expect that it was this delicate little girl who signed.
But the "life and death certificate" has been signed and there is no room for regret.
Bimo's turbid eyes swept over the two of them and said:
"Since the competition began, Nuda has been challenged 37 times, won 31 times and lost 6 times. Yangqi has been challenged 56 times, won 54 times and lost 2 times. Girl, just wish yourself good luck!"
According to the regulations, after signing the "life and death agreement", the competition will begin after one stick of incense.
One stick of incense is about half an hour.
The two men left the house where Bimo lived and returned to their own residence.
Qin Yi took out the magazine and loaded bullets into the gun one by one.
Su Tong was thinking, Nuda is already very powerful, I wonder what Yangqi’s style is, why there are so many challengers and why his winning rate is so high?
When everything was ready, Qin Yi held Su Tong's shoulders with both hands and said to her seriously:
"Go ahead and fight! You'll be fine! Just in case, you still have me!"
