Before Hua Bushi could hold his hand, someone said loudly: "It's just an arm. Why should Master Hua be in trouble?"

The person who spoke was none other than Xiong Bailing. He had woken up at some point, his face full of pride and no fear at all.

Sima Rulan was shocked: "What, do you have to cut off your arm to detoxify? How is that possible?"

You must know that Xiong Bailing practices the outer palm power "Shocking Bear Palm", and all his abilities are in a pair of palms. Cutting off one arm means that most of the martial arts is wasted. But at this time, he laughed "haha" and said : "I betrayed the sect and deserved this retribution. I deserve this fate. Master Hua, give me the dagger, and I will just cut off this arm myself."

Hua Bushi sighed and handed over the short dagger with a black handle. Xiong Bailing grabbed the dagger with his left hand. When the cold light passed by, his right arm was broken at the elbow and fell to the ground.

The viper seizes the hand, and the strong man removes the wrist.

Xiong Bailing is really a very perseverant person. He cut off his arm with a knife without any hesitation. As soon as the arm was broken, blood spurted out. Hua Bushi immediately took the gold medicine that Sima Rulan handed over and applied it to Xiong Bailing. Stop bleeding.

There was no one around to bandage the wound, so Sima Rulan tore off the hem of her own skirt, pulled it into strips, and used it as a bandage to wrap Xiong Bailing's wound.

Xiong Bailing's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He said, "Thank you so much, Master Hua and niece Lan'er. I am really ashamed of myself."

The tears in Sima Rulan's eyes had already flowed down, and she said: "Uncle Xiong was bitten by a poisonous snake in order to save Lan'er, and Uncle Xiong lost an arm. It's all Lan'er's fault..."

Sima Rulan was kind-hearted. Seeing that Xiong Bailing had lost an arm, she felt extremely sad. She had completely forgotten that he had previously plotted to seize Okura City, joined the "Black Dragon Palace" pirates, and betrayed the secrets of the Whale Swallowing Island. .

The Jinchuang medicine was very effective. Hua Bushi pressed his fingers on the blood vessels of Xiong Bailing's upper arm. After a while, the bleeding from the broken arm gradually stopped. He then wrapped it tightly with a cloth strip, and soon it was healed. The bandage is ready.

After treating the wound, Hua Bushi said: "Let's rest here for half a day before leaving the cave."

Although Liang Wude is dead, Qian Badou, Qian Jiukong and dozens of pirates are still guarding outside the cave entrance on the top of the mountain. This place is not safe. Of course, the sooner you leave, the better. However, Xiong Bailing's arm has just been broken, and Xiong Tiannan is unconscious again. When I woke up, I really couldn't move at the moment, so the young master proposed to rest for half a day before setting off.

He looked at Xiong Bailing and asked: "Now that Liang Wude is dead, Mr. Xiong can no longer return to the Black Dragon Palace, but he doesn't know what his plan is to get out of the secret cave?"

Xiong Bailing said: "What other plans can I have? After I leave this cave, I will take Nan'er and his family disciples to the Middle-earth continent to find a remote place to live in peace, and spend the rest of my life, no longer participating in the world of the world. There’s a dispute.”

Hua Bushi said: "This time the 'Black Dragon Palace' has damaged Liang Wude. It will definitely not let the Xiong family go. Mr. Xiong must be more careful in the future."

No political force will easily forgive a traitor, especially pirates like the "Black Dragon Palace" who are famous for their brutality. Xiong Bailing lost one of his martial arts skills, even if he wanted to bring his family to the Middle-earth continent. I'm afraid it's not that easy to live in seclusion.

Of course Xiong Bailing knew in his heart that what Hua Bushi said was true, but now he had no choice but to sigh and said nothing.

Sima Rulan suddenly said: "If Uncle Xiong has nowhere to go, why not go back to Okura City? As long as you stay in Okura City, the Black Dragon Palace will not dare to invade."

Xiong Bailing looked ashamed and said: "I have done too many things to be sorry for Wanjintang and my niece, how can I still have the dignity to go back to Okura City now?"

Sima Rulan said: "No matter what Uncle Xiong has done before, Lan'er will not blame you anymore for saving Lan'er's life in the snake den just now! In fact, I have always regarded Uncle Xiong as an elder, and I have never I really have a grudge against Uncle Bear."

Xiong Bailing said: "Does niece Lan'er really not blame me for the mistakes I made in the past?"

Sima Rulan said: "Actually, like my father, I have never regarded Uncle Xiong as an outsider. Now that my father has passed away, Wanjintang is alone and it is difficult to even protect Okura City. Lan'er is really I really hope Uncle Bear can come back."

Xiong Bailing stared at Sima Rulan's face, and saw that her face was full of sincerity. Suddenly, tears filled her eyes and flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

Previously, he cut off his arm with a knife, not only did he not shed a single tear, he did not even blink his eyes, but now faced with the pleading of Sima Rulan, a girl under twenty years old, this sturdy old man with gray beard and hair was... Suddenly I burst into tears.

Xiong Bailing's martial arts skills and intelligence are not inferior to those of Sima Zhufeng, so he is not willing to be subordinate to others for a long time. It has always been his wish to control Okura City and take the position of the leader of the "Wanjin Hall". He even wants to do it. Better than Sima Zhufeng, he plans to further expand his power after acquiring Okura City to dominate the entire South China Sea.

In order to achieve this, Xiong Bailing had been plotting for several years and did not hesitate to use conspiracy methods, and finally took refuge in the "Black Dragon Palace".

However, now that he has lost one of his right arms and lost most of his martial arts skills, all his ambitions have disappeared. Only then does Xiong Bailing suddenly think of Sima Zhufeng's kindness to him in the past, and the brotherly loyalty between the two of them when they became friends.

Sima Rulan was right. Neither Sima Zhufeng nor his daughter regarded him as an outsider. Every time during the holidays, the two families would have banquets and drinks together and have a great time. When Sima Rulan was a child, he would often hold her in his arms. He plays around in Okura Castle and treats her as his own daughter.

Now the little girl has not changed, but this "Uncle Bear" has changed.

The distinction between good and evil in human nature is often just a thought. In many cases, the greed for power and money can make people lost and their minds dizzy. But once the greed in the heart subsides, family affection and morality will rise. , allowing people to return to their kind nature.

At this time, Xiong Bailing realized that he had done too many mistakes in the past, and he was really sorry for Sima Zhufeng.

He suddenly struggled to stand up, knelt on the ground with his knees, and said loudly: "Brother Sima has a spirit in heaven. Xiong Bailing made a vow today that he will use this remaining life to help niece Lan'er during his lifetime. I will protect Okura Castle well, even if my heart is pierced by thousands of arrows, and my body will be shattered to pieces. I just hope that my elder brother can forgive my sins and give my younger brother a chance to change his ways."

After Xiong Bailing finished speaking, he knocked his head heavily on the ground, but he was already bursting into tears and choked with sobs.

Sima Rulan also quickly knelt down beside him, stretched out her hand to support him and said: "Uncle Xiong is injured, please don't do this. My father has a spirit in the sky, and he must be like Lan'er and will not blame Uncle Xiong."

Hua Bushi stood aside, looking at what was happening in front of him in a daze, feeling quite uneasy in his heart.

In today's troubled world, people's hearts are sinister, and kindness is not an advantage. Instead, it may lead to fatal disasters. It is the habit of most Jianghu people to eradicate their enemies and kill them all. Hua Bushi, who was born in a mafia family, certainly knows this very well and has always known it. This is how it is done.

After the battle at Mingxiangzhai that day, if he were Sima Rulan, he would have killed all the Xiong family without any mercy. It was impossible to give them a chance to escape from the city. This cannot be said to be wrong. If he had eliminated them in the first place, If we leave the Xiong family, there will be no such thing as Xiong Bailing taking refuge in "Black Dragon Island", and there will not be today's dangerous situation.

But what Hua Bushi saw with his own eyes today was that it was precisely because of Sima Rulan's kindness that Xiong Bailing was convinced and swore allegiance, and he believed that the old man would not betray him even if he faced the decision of life and death again.

Only then did Hua Bushi realize that it was Sima Rulan's unique temperament that had always attracted him deeply. This made Hua Bushi involuntarily care about her and could not bear to see her in danger. , and tried his best to help her guard and manage Okura Castle. The power of this kindness and kindness is by no means comparable to the temptation of interests or the threat of force.

Although Sima Rulan has great talent in martial arts, she lacks experience in martial arts. Her martial arts has not yet reached the top level, and she has no ability to organize things. At first glance, she does not seem to have the necessary skills to become the Lord of Okura City. However, her kindness and kindness will make her win the hearts of the people and get a lot of support and help. However, even Hua Bushi does not have this ability. This Miss Lan'er is really the most suitable candidate for the Lord of Okura City. .

Hua Bushi had had this feeling before, but it was not as strong as it is today.

At this time, Sima Rulan had helped Xiong Bailing and helped him sit down next to the fence to rest. She walked up to Hua Bushi and said, "When we come out of the cave, we have to blow up the rock wall over there. This secret The cave can no longer be used! Liang Wude had already taken out the detailed map of the dragon-slaying ship, and Lan'er still wants to go into the stone house over there to look for some things that should be taken away. Would Mr. Hua be willing to come with him?"

Hua Bushi said: "The things in the stone house are all relics left by City Lord Sima. Hua Bushi is just an outsider and will not go in. Miss Lan'er should go alone."

When he was carrying Buddhist scriptures to make torches, he had walked into the stone chambers behind the gate, but at that time he had to go down to the cave to save people, so he didn't care about these details. Now, he felt it was inconvenient to go in again.

Sima Rulan was obviously a little disappointed, but still said: "Okay, then Lan'er can go on her own."

Seeing Sima Rulan turn around and leave, Hua Bushi walked aside and sat down cross-legged. The light of the torch on the altar flickered on and off. Xiong Bailing was leaning against the stone railing to rest, while Xiong Tiannan was still unconscious. There was silence all around.

After a long time, Sima Rulan came out of the stone door, holding nothing but a small oil paper bag in her hand.
