At noon, the siblings came to an inn. After running all morning, the siblings and the horse were very tired. After getting off the horse, Xiao Guanhong faced the scorching sun above his head, sweating profusely, and then looked at the shop in front of him.

The word "herbal tea" printed on the flag made me swallow hard and quickly walked towards the inn.

As she was walking, Xiao Shuiling suddenly stopped, slapped her forehead, and said "Oh!"

When Xiao Guanhong saw that something was wrong, he quickly asked: "What's wrong, sister?"

Xiao Shuiling turned around and blinked, "I forgot about the money."

"What?!" Xiao Guanhong was shocked, "Why are you out here without any money!"

Xiao Shuiling approached Xiao Guanhong and smiled, "Sister, I know you have saved a lot of private money, have you taken it with you?"

"..." Xiao Guanhong swallowed and said with a smile on his face: "Sister, you are just talking nonsense, what's the matter? Hehe, I only brought two taels with me, and it will definitely not be enough for this trip." He quickly took out two taels of silver.

He pushed it over and said, "How about this? Let's drink tea first and then rush back. We'll pay for the expenses and then we'll be on our way tomorrow. Do you think that's okay?"

Xiao Shui Lingqi said: "Nonsense, delaying a day for no reason, no!" After speaking, he looked at Xiao Guanhong with a suspicious face, "You...really only brought two taels?"

Xiao Guanhong laughed repeatedly and said: "That's right, sister, can I still lie to you? It's not like you don't know that I'm a money-spending person. All I saved in the past is gone. How much money can I bring with me?"

Xiao Shuiling immediately grimaced and refused to listen to Xiao Guanhong's excuse, "Take it out."

"No..." Xiao Guanhong smiled helplessly, "What did you ask me to take..." As he said this, he shook his wallet, and there were only a few copper coins left.

Xiao Shuiling took a few steps closer, forcing Xiao Guanhong to back away, "Take it out! Come out! Come out!"

Xiao Guanhong had a cold sweat on his face, "Oh, sister, hehe, why don't you believe me? Really, you can't make me change it! Hehe, don't make trouble, ah."

Xiao Shuiling's face turned green, her eyebrows stood up, her feet stamped, and she said loudly and fiercely: "Take it out!"

"yes!"

With tears in his eyes, Xiao Guanhong took out twenty taels of silver notes from his arms and stuffed them into Xiao Shuiling's hands. His hands were shaking a little and he held them tightly, unable to bear to let go.

Xiao Shuiling looked at the banknote in her hand, "Hmm...only twenty taels?"

"Oh, sister." Xiao Guanhong looked aggrieved, "I've given you this money, what else can I do? All the money I saved so hard has been used as expenses... When you can ask for expenses, you don't want to think about it, but you do it.

The idea of ​​​​people’s private money..."

Xiao Shuiling said forcefully: "Stop talking nonsense, there must be more, hand them all over!"

Xiao Guanhong burst into tears, "Oh sister, I'm really gone. Tell me, why are you doing this..."

Xiao Shuiling said: "I'm doing this for your own good! Do you know that men will turn bad when they have money? If you had money with you, you would definitely go gambling again! Bring it here, I'll take care of it for you!"

Xiao Guanhong cursed: "Who said this is a bullshit theory! It's gone, it's gone, it's gone..."

Xiao Shuiling was too lazy to listen. One of her slender hands grabbed Xiao Guanhong's ear, which made him cry out in pain. The other hand reached into Xiao Guanhong's arms and searched back and forth, lecturing: "Stop talking nonsense, I am your sister, get it for me quickly."

Come!"

After a while, all the fifty taels of silver notes hidden in Xiao Guanhong were found.

Xiao Shuiling was now satisfied and said, "Okay, I'll pay you back when we get to Meizhuang."

Xiao Guanhong covered her ears and felt aggrieved. All the bets on her heart were gone. My sister would bully me...

The sun was scorching hot, and the siblings were drinking herbal tea and eating side dishes in the inn. Waves of coolness came from their bodies, and they immediately felt full of energy.

At this moment, a person walked in outside the inn, looking around at the door. When his eyes fell on Xiao Guanhong, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately came over to say hello: "May I ask if this is the 'Meteor Swordsman' Xiao Guanhong?"

When Xiao Guanhong heard his name, he was so happy that he almost raised his tail, but he couldn't express his joy when he thought about it. He stood up and said calmly: "I am the one who is here, may I ask who your brother is?" When he saw that man, he was not much older than himself.

The young man had an indescribable confidence on his face and was holding a long sword. He must be a famous swordsman.

When the young man saw that Xiao Guanhong's clothes were painted with stars all over the sky, he was spotless, his appearance was extraordinary, and he had the aura of a master, he couldn't help but admire him. But he still said confidently: "Chen Hao, I want to have a sword showdown with Young Master Xiao!"

Xiao Shuiling said "Eh", "It turns out to be the 'Crazy Swordsman' Chen Shaoxia. I'm disrespectful. I've heard for a long time that Chen Shaoxia has outstanding swordsmanship at a young age and is obsessed with collecting famous swords in the world. I must have taken a fancy to this meteor sword today."

"

Chen Hao smiled slightly, "The girl should be the 'Jade Girl Bing Xin' Xiao Nuxia, sorry. Yes, I want this meteor sword, but I want to win it in an honest way."

"Ah?" Xiao Guanhong was frightened. It turned out that he was here to seize the sword. He looked at the scorching sun outside and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, the weather is so hot today, it is really not suitable for sword competition. In this case, I will treat you to a meal."

How about we compete at night?"

Chen Hao was a little strange. He had gone out to fight so many times, but he had never seen anyone hiding from a fight. This competition was all about face. If he didn't fight, wouldn't he be cowardly? He then said with a provocative method: "What, Brother Xiao?"

, are you scared?"

Xiao Guanhong wondered where this man's madness came from. He was so unreasonable. Why would he compete just because he said it? Anyway, he was not a shameless person. He shook his head and said, "Okay, I'm afraid."

"..." Chen Hao was speechless for a while. Seeing Xiao Guanhong ignoring him, turning his head and sitting down to continue eating, he felt anxious. After finally finding him, how could he let the Meteor Sword slip away like this? He pressed down on Xiao Guanhong's hand.

Chopsticks, "Brother Xiao, if you don't compete with me, you won't be able to eat this meal."

Xiao Shuiling pursed her lips and smiled, wanting to see how her brother would respond.

Xiao Guanhong was immediately furious. Although he didn't want to compete with swords, he couldn't bear it when he was bullied in the face. He slapped the table and said angrily: "Let's compete, whoever is afraid of whom!"

When Chen Hao saw Xiao Guanhong angry, he actually smiled, "Okay, Brother Xiao, I'm just waiting for your words. If I win, this sword will be mine."

Xiao Guanhong snorted, "What if I win?"

Chen Hao said: "I will give you my 'Jue Fan'." He stretched out the long sword in his hand and showed it to Xiao Guanhong for a closer look.

How can Xiao Guanhong tell whether it is good or bad? He only knows that it is definitely not as good as the Meteor Sword. "No, no, if you use such a sword to beat my Meteor Sword, it is not cost-effective!"

Chen Hao heard the same thing, but he was not afraid and said decisively: "Let's do this. If you win, I will give you my life."

"..." Xiao Guanhong was speechless for a while. I want your life to be useless! This man must be crazy. He actually used his life as a bet. Otherwise, he would be called an "idiot swordsman". He is really an "idiot swordsman"! No, you can't tangle with him.

I have to think of a way to escape. Well, this person should have a wooden head. Porphyrin! An idea came to him. "Okay, let's compare!"

Chen Hao was very happy, "Okay, please, Brother Xiao."

Xiao Guanhong chuckled, "Brother Chen, wait a minute, can you wait until I'm full? How can I fight if I don't have enough food and no strength?"

Chen Hao blinked: "...Okay." Then he sat quietly at the dinner table.
Chapter completed!
