Chapter 223 Sleeve Arrow
At 6:30 in the evening, Xia Xiaoman climbed over the wall, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took out five snowmobiles from the space.
There are 7 snowmobiles in her space, one of which was bought from Sun Qing. That one is of good quality and is a genuine snowmobile, different from the one that Fucheng converted from an electric motorcycle.
The other six were the "relics" left by the group of people who stole the jaguars' eggs last time and were besieged and killed by the jaguars. These six were snowmobiles that Fucheng transformed from electric cars and motorcycles. She kept one that looked of good quality, and planned to sell the remaining five to Sun Haiyun.
At around 7 o'clock, Sun Haiyun hadn't come yet. Xia Xiaoman looked at the time and planned to wait until 7:30. If Sun Haiyun didn't come by 7:30, she would take the car back to the space and sell it to the trading point another day.
I just don’t know whether the trading point will accept snowmobiles. After all, the eternal cold night is almost over.
At about 7:20, a short man came running over breathlessly, "You, are you Xia Xiaoman?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded and stared at him warily.
The man pulled off the scarf from his face and said, "I'm Sun Haiyun's colleague, Zeng Qingliang. Sun Haiyun was called to work overtime and couldn't leave. He asked me to tell you that he might not be available during this period, and he will come to trade with you when he is free. It will be half a month at the latest. Please don't sell the snowmobile."
After saying that, Zeng Qingliang narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Xiaoman for a while, frowning and said, "You look familiar, I think I've seen you somewhere."
Xia Xiaoman: “…”
She was wearing a bandit hat and a stormtrooper cap, and she looked familiar? I'm afraid I couldn't even see what her face looked like!
"Ah, I remember now!" Zeng Qingliang said excitedly, "The last time I saw you on my way home from get off work, you were robbed while driving a snowmobile, and you took out a Tang sword and killed all the robbers!"
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. Being robbed while driving a snowmobile? That should be the last time he was taken to the interrogation area and met Fu Baiwei on his way home.
That was because her attention was drawn to the robbers and Fu Baiwei and the others, and she didn't notice that there were other people around.
Zeng Qingliang looked at Xia Xiaoman with admiration, and said excitedly: "Brother, no, sister, can you let me see your Tang sword? You were so handsome that day, and you wielded the Tang sword so well."
He was a cold weapon enthusiast and had collected a lot of cold weapons before the natural disaster, but they were all toys that looked good but were useless. The main thing was that he couldn't afford them, and even if he could afford them, he had nowhere to buy them. If he was reported for this, he would be thrown into jail and forced to work on a sewing machine.
When Zeng Qingliang accidentally saw someone holding a high-quality Tang sword and wielding it smoothly, he was so excited that he wanted to slide down to his knees in front of Xia Xiaoman and ask him to be his disciple.
Unfortunately, Xia Xiaoman walked too fast that day. Before he could react, Xia Xiaoman had already driven away on the snowmobile.
The strange look of Xia Xiaoman wearing a bandit hat and a storm cap at that time left a deep impression on him, so much so that he can recognize Xia Xiaoman now.
Zeng Qingliang put his hands together and begged, "Miss, please, let me take a look at your Tang sword! Please!"
The corners of Xia Xiaoman's mouth twitched. What kind of lunatic did Sun Haiyun find to deliver the message?
"I don't have any Tang sword. You've got the wrong person. If you have nothing else, just leave and don't delay me from releasing the car."
Xia Xiaoman's tone was cold, but she completely underestimated the persistence of the cold weapon fanatics. Zeng Qingliang stood still and said firmly: "I didn't recognize the wrong person. The person I saw that day was you, and you were wearing these two hats that day."
He thought for a moment, rolled up his sleeves and took something off his wrist, "If you show me that Tang sword, I will give you this hidden arrow."
"Hidden Arrow?" Xia Xiaoman looked at the thing in his hand curiously, "What is the use of your hidden arrow?"
"Use it for self-defense!" Zeng Qingliang put on his hidden arrow again. The hidden arrow is a small elastic crossbow sewn on the wrist guard, and the switch to open the crossbow is a ring tied with a fishing line.
Zeng Qingliang put the ring on his middle finger, and the length of the fishing line was carefully adjusted to fit tightly in the palm of his palm.
After putting on the sleeve arrow, Zeng Qingliang hooked the fishing line on his palm with his thumb, wrapped it around and pulled it slightly. A thin steel needle shot out from the cuff and nailed straight into the ice wall.
"I made this sleeve arrow in my spare time. I improved it a little bit and it's more powerful than the traditional sleeve arrow, but its range is not very far. However, this kind of hidden weapon generally has a short range, so as long as it's powerful enough, it's fine." Zeng Qingliang said proudly.
Xia Xiaoman walked to the wall and pulled out the steel nails embedded in the ice wall. Seeing how deep the steel nails were embedded in the ice wall, he said, "As long as I take out the Tang sword and show it to you, you will give me this sleeve arrow, right?"
Zeng Qingliang hesitated for a moment and said, "You still have to take me as your apprentice and teach me the Tang sword technique."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "I don't know any Tang sword techniques."
"How is that possible? You were so good at wielding the Tang sword that day, how could you not know how to use the sword?" Zeng Qingliang couldn't believe it.
Xia Xiaoman suddenly understood what was going on. "Oh, you're talking about the sword technique I used that day! It was the Plum Blossom Sword Technique, not the Tang Sword Technique. Sun Haiyun also knows this sword technique. We all learned it from Old Man Luo in Shuiyue Bay."
"Old Luo?" When Zeng Qingliang heard this address, he felt that the other party must be a peerless master. "Where is that old man Luo? Can I go to him to learn martial arts?"
Xia Xiaoman had a strange expression when he heard this. "You can learn martial arts from him, but you need to cut your own throat first so that you can go underground to learn martial arts from him."
"Ah?" Zeng Qingliang was stunned for a moment, "Old man Luo passed away?"
"It's been more than half a year since I left." Xia Xiaoman was a little puzzled, "Why do you have to go to such a long way? Why don't you just ask Sun Haiyun to teach you? You know him anyway."
Zeng Qingliang curled his lips. He knew who was more powerful between the peerless master and the peerless master's disciple.
However, since the peerless master is no longer around, he can only settle for the next best thing and find the master's disciple to learn martial arts.
"Okay then! I'll ask Brother Yun to be my disciple later." After saying that, he reached out to take back the steel nail from Xia Xiaoman's hand, "If you want a sleeve arrow, prepare the materials, and I can make one for you for free, provided that you take out your Tang sword and show it to me."
This is a good deal. I don't have to recruit disciples to find things to do, and I can get a hidden arrow for free.
Xia Xiaoman nodded and agreed, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and get the knife."
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped up and climbed over the wall. In less than two minutes, she climbed out again with a Tang sword in her hand.
