Chapter 1289 Don't Go Soft
Dinner was plentiful; a chicken was killed, and potato noodles and sliced meat were stir-fried, served with fermented noodle soup.
The fermented noodle soup helped cut through the greasiness, and Song Chunxue couldn't resist eating a bowl and a half.
The main thing is that my second sister-in-law's noodles were very chewy, and the fermented vegetable broth was very fragrant. She used bitter greens as a topping, and I really miss it.
During the meal, her second brother and sister-in-law, as well as her fourth sister, would occasionally glance at her with curious eyes.
Song Chunxue said helplessly, "Stop staring at me. Eat your food properly. If you have any questions, just ask. It's awkward having the three of you staring at me."
Second Brother Song Zhizhu, gnawing on a chicken neck, said, "You're pretty amazing now. Even the horse is so obedient, and you can hurt people with two swords without even holding them. It's incredibly powerful. Who did you learn from? How are you so good?"
Song Chunxue couldn't stand being praised like that, so she quickly put her hands together and begged for mercy: "Second brother, don't say that. I'm not that great. I'm just lucky to have met such a good senior brother and a good master."
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, so as not to cause trouble," Song Chunxue said in a low voice. "After all, those people are more wicked than you can imagine. I don't want you to end up like Alai, being implicated by me."
"Okay, okay, I understand, we definitely won't tell," Fourth Sister whispered. "But your horse is too smart, isn't it? I was talking to it just now, and it not only understood me, but it also has a temper."
“After all, it’s not an ordinary horse; it was found in the mountains and forests, and it’s very intelligent.” Song Chunxue stood up and pointed outside. “I’m going to the outhouse. We’ll have a drink when I come back later.”
"Okay, you go ahead." Second sister-in-law picked up her bowl and chopsticks. "I'll go prepare some snacks for you to go with your drinks."
"No need for that, aren't the stir-fries on the table ready?"
"That's different. If you're too full, you can't have too much to eat with your drinks," Second Sister-in-law said with a smile. "I know you like Chinese mustard greens, so I'll make some extra."
"Alright, I'll be right there."
Actually, she didn't go to the outhouse; she went home and fed the family dog.
Fortunately, the dog was well-behaved and didn't destroy anything or poop everywhere.
It seems that after eating that stone, the dog became much smarter.
Passing by her fourth sister's house, Song Chunxue brought food for Alai before returning to her second brother's house, all within the time it takes to drink two cups of tea.
That night, the group of men, all nearing fifty, chatted merrily by the dim candlelight, finally settling down around 9 PM.
Song Chunxue got up very early in the morning.
She sat in meditation on the mountaintop until the sun was high in the sky before slowly descending the mountain.
However, before they even reached his second brother's house, Wuyou suddenly darted away.
Yesterday, the son of the third son of the Jiao family came to our house with some strange people. I overheard them talking about taking a liking to your two swords and your stubborn donkey. They were plotting to kill you and steal the treasures. You should go and check it out.
Song Chunxue was surprised, "Didn't I feed them the Forgetfulness Pill last night? How come they still know how to kill and steal treasure?"
“Perhaps those two are quite capable and were on guard against you,” Wuyou said angrily. “If you ask me, we should find a place and kill them.”
"Let's go check it out first. It's not good to start a fight in a place like this." If they weren't acquaintances, she really couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't turn on them if pushed too far.
But when people are in their native place, everything becomes restrained, like a trapped beast.
Therefore, living close to home has both advantages and disadvantages.
She quietly slipped away and arrived at her second brother's house.
It seemed she couldn't stay at her second brother's house any longer. After lunch, she said goodbye to her second brother and fourth sister.
Carrying two swords on her back and leading a horse, Song Chunxue slowly climbed to the top of the mountain, making sure the others followed.
She came to a secluded mountain hollow and sat down to rest.
Sure enough, several people caught up with them, and they were carrying swords.
Two of them were masked. Song Chunxue leaned against the old apricot tree and laughed, "You two brothers from the Jiao family, do you think I won't recognize you just because your faces are covered? Aren't you just burying your heads in the sand?"
Her hair was tied high at the back of her head, with some fluffy stray hairs blowing in the wind, messy but not disheveled. The afternoon wind was gentle, and the sun was intense, turning the yellow earth golden.
Surrounded by five armed men, she showed no sign of panic, and even opened her wine gourd and took a couple of sips of wine.
Last night, my second uncle took out his homemade apricot blossom wine, which was very strong and delicious. He filled a jar and a gourd with it for himself.
"Enough nonsense, hand over the two swords you have, and we'll spare your life." The leader was a tall man, about a head and a half taller than Song Chunxue, and he approached like a wall.
Song Chunxue snapped her fingers, and the Overlord Sword sprang out, which she grasped in her hand.
"Is this the sword you're talking about?" Song Chunxue smiled. "Come and take it if you can."
"Song Chunxue, don't be so arrogant. Even if you've learned some skills outside and have been quite famous these past few years, my senior brothers are all veterans who have been practicing martial arts for twenty or thirty years. Stop struggling and obediently hand over your weapon, and they might spare your life."
The two sons of the third son of the Jiao family earnestly advised, "You are a woman, don't be too reckless. I am not skilled enough, but they are not ordinary people. You'd better be sensible. We don't want to commit murder."
Song Chunxue stood up and shook her head at Wuyou, "Then let's cut to the chase. It's a shame that no one's been practicing with me lately."
She didn't want to manipulate things with chess pieces; she just wanted a brutal, all-out, and exhilarating fight.
Wuyou pouted in dissatisfaction. He hadn't had a chance to practice in a long time, and the feeling of having no opponent was truly lonely.
Wait, isn't there also the Overlord Sword?
Suddenly, Wuyou jumped out and shouted excitedly, "Song Chunxue, can I join them? With the Overlord Sword, you'll definitely be able to handle it with ease, right?"
"..." Song Chunxue stared at him coldly, her lips twitching slightly, "Listen to whether you're speaking human language?"
The five burly men standing nearby were shocked, especially the three outsiders, who all looked at Wuyou with astonishment, their eyes wide like copper bells.
"Hehehe, I'm speaking human language, but I'm not human, so just bear with it." Wuyou excitedly flipped around twice. "Come on, come on, I know what I'm doing, I won't hurt you."
Honestly, they're all such troublesome people.
The stubborn donkey snorted beside it, clearly also looking forward to what was to come.
"Alright, all six of you come at me together. If I can't withstand it, then I'll let the Overlord fight all six of you."
"Good, good, good! This is good, don't be shy!" Wuyou suddenly attacked Song Chunxue's face, letting out a cheer.
"Clang clang clang clang~"
Song Chunxue quickly defended herself, "Can you slow down? I'm not a centipede, my hands aren't that fast."
"That means you're not skilled enough, so you can't blame anyone else."
"No!" Song Chunxue said with some difficulty, reluctantly giving up this great opportunity. "You spar with the five of them instead. After we've dealt with them, we can find another opportunity to practice slowly."
Wuyou quickly pointed the tip of his sword at the others, "Fine, you five little bastards, did you hear that? All of you come at me together, and don't hold back, I won't show any mercy."
They exchanged glances, no one daring to move, whispering, "This sword really can talk."
