"Today is our happiest day," Lu Guanying replied.
"That goes without saying," Cheng Yaojia said, "Today is the second day of the seventh month, my third [maternal] aunt's birthday."
Lu Guanying smiled, "Ah, you must have many relatives," he said, "It must be difficult to remember all those birthdays."
Huang Rong thought, "Your wife belongs to a big clan in Baoying; her maternal aunts', her paternal aunts', her nephews' and nieces' birthdays will come and go; but can they be compared to you, the Great Leader Lu of the Lake Tai's stronghold?" Suddenly she recalled something, "Today is the second day of the seventh month, Jing Gege will need until the seventh to recover. The Beggar Clan's general assembly is on the fifteenth at Yueyang City. We have a very tight schedule."
Suddenly there was a long whistle outside, followed by a loud laughter, shaking the roof tiles; it was precisely Zhou Botong's voice. He called out, "Old Poison, you have been chasing me from Lin'an to Jiaxing and from Jiaxing back to Lin'an, one day and one night, throughout you can't overtake the Old Urchin. Victory or defeat between us two has already been decided. What else do you want to compete in?"
Huang Rong was startled, "From Lin'an to Jiaxing and back is more than five hundred 'li's; these two men's feet are truly fast."
Ouyang Feng's voice was heard replying, "Even if you run to the end of the earth I will still chase you."
Zhou Botong laughed, "We won't eat, we won't sleep, we won't even urinate or defecate; let's see who can run the longest. Do you dare to compete with me?"
"Why not?" Ouyang Feng replied, "I want to see who will drop dead of exhaustion first!"
"Old Poison," Zhou Botong said, "You won't be able to compete with me in not urinating and not defecating."
They both stopped talking and let out a long laugh instead, but the laughter seemed to come from more than a dozen of 'zhang's away already. Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia did not know what kind of people these men were, who swiftly came and went in the middle of the night. They looked at each other in astonishment; then hand in hand they walked to the door to take a look.
Huang Rong thought, "If these two are competing their feet power, then father will surely want to watch." Sure enough, she heard Lu Guanying's surprised voice, "Ah, where is Grandmaster?"
"Look over there," Cheng Yaojia said, "There are three shadows; the last one looks like your Grandmaster."
"That's right," Lu Guanying said, "Ah, they are that far already. I wonder what kind of experts those two are. Too bad we did not have any chance to meet them."
Huang Rong thought, "The Old Urchin is all right, but you'd better not meet the Old Poison."
As Huang Yaoshi left, Lu and Cheng two people thought that they were alone in that inn; their hearts started to get devious. Lu Guanying circled his arm around his newly-wed wife's waist and asked in a low voice, "Meizi [Little sister – term of endearment], what is your given name?"
Cheng Yaojia said with a chuckle, "I won't say it, you guess."
Lu Guanying smiled, "If not Xiao Mao [kitten], then it must be Xiao Gou [puppy]."
Cheng Yaojia laughed, "Neither. It's Mu Da Zhong [mother big bug]."
"Ah," Lu Guanying laughed, "Then I must catch you."
Cheng Yaojia wriggled and leaped over the table. Lu Guanying laughed and chased her. One ran, the other chased, they were both laughing and giggling, running around the inn. The starlight was dim, Huang Rong was unable to see these two clearly, but she could hear their laughter clearly. Suddenly Guo Jing whispered in her ear, "Do you think he can catch Cheng Da Xiaojie?"
With a light chuckle Huang Rong replied, "Certainly."
Guo Jing asked again, "After he catches her, then what happen?"
Huang Rong's heart skipped a beat; she did not know the answer. She heard Lu Guanying had succeeded in catching Cheng Yaojia, the couple then sat on the bench, hugging each other and talking in low voices.
Huang Rong's right hand was holding Guo Jing's left. She felt his palm was getting hotter and hotter, while his body trembled faster and faster. She was frightened, busily asked, "Jing Gege, what happened?"
After Guo Jing suffered a heavy injury, his internal strength considerably decreased, practicing this Nine Yin energy cultivation method required a clean heart, free from any devilish thought. Right now he heard that Lu and Cheng couple was talking and laughing intimately; at the same time right next to him was his own beloved beautiful girl. Gradually he lost control, his blood warmed up to the point of boiling. He turned around and stretched out his right hand to embrace her shoulder. But as she heard his rushed breathing and felt his burning hot palm, Huang Rong was frightened and busily said, "Jing Gege, be careful, quickly calm your heart."
Guo Jing's heart was shaken, anxiously he said, "I can't. Rong'er, I … I …" He wanted to stand up.
Huang Rong was very anxious, "You must not move!" she said.
Forcing himself Guo Jing sat down; he tried hard to control his breathing, but his chest felt like it will almost burst open. "Rong'er, help me," he begged. Once again he wanted to stand up.
"Sit down!" Huang Rong shouted, "If you don't, I'll seal your acupoint."
"Right," Guo Jing said, "Quick! I can't take it anymore."
Huang Rong realized that if his acupoint was sealed, his internal energy flow would be blocked, then their two days of effort would be wasted and they would have to start from the beginning again. But his condition was critical, as soon as he stood up, his life would be in danger. So gritting her teeth her left arm made a circle with the 'lan hua fu xue shou' [orchid brushing acupoint technique] and struck the 'zhang men' [sealing gate] acupoint on the eleventh rib on his left chest.
Her finger was right on target, but unexpectedly Guo Jing's internal strength was so profound that as soon as his body met an external force, the muscle automatically contracted and caused her finger to slip. Huang Rong successively struck twice, both times missed. She was about to strike for the third time when suddenly he grabbed her left wrist.
It was almost dawn. Huang Rong saw his eyes were bloodshot like they were on fire, she was shocked; but she felt that he was pulling her hand while his mouth was mumbling indistinctly, as if he was loosing his mind. In desperation Huang Rong moved her elbow and ferociously bumped her shoulder against his arm. As the thorns on the soft hedgehog armor pricked his arm, Guo Jing felt a shot of pain and was startled. Right at that moment they heard the rooster crow in the village. It was like a strike of lightning clearing out Guo Jing's mind. Slowly he put Huang Rong's wrist down; his face showed great embarrassment.
Huang Rong saw sweats dripping from his forehead; his face was pale and he looked so weary. But she knew the critical moment had passed. She said happily, "Jing Gege, we have passed two days and two nights."
'Slap!' Guo Jing slapped his own face and said, "Very dangerous!" He raised his hand to slap again. Huang Rong smiled and grabbed his hand. "That was nothing," she said, "You remember the Old Urchin? With that kind of skill he still could not bear to listen to my father's flute; much less you, who are seriously injured."
In their excitement as Guo Jing was battling his own mind, they forgot to lower their voices. All Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia cared for was each other, so naturally they were oblivious of everything else. But lying down in the room Ouyang Ke was fully awake, with his keen hearing he heard everything, he could even vaguely recognize Huang Rong's voice. He was surprised yet happy. He tried to listen carefully, but no more sound was to be heard. Both of his legs were broken, he was unable to walk, but by using hands as his feet he could stand upside down and he came out of his hiding.
