The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (4)

58萧峰不知阿朱是什么意思,他想自己怎么弄得到易筋经呢?这时就见阿朱从怀中取出一个小包,放在萧峰手里,说:“给你。我从少林兄寺偷这本经书,本想送给我家公子,现在就转送给你了。”

58 Xiao Feng didn’t know what Ah Zhu meant. How did he get the Tendon-Changing Classic? At this time, Ah Zhu took a small bag out of his arms and put it in Xiao Feng’s hand. He said, “Here you are. I stole this scripture from Shaolin Brother Temple. I wanted to give it to my son, but now I will transfer it to you.”

59萧峰心中又是感激又是欢喜,当下便将小包打开,只见薄薄一本黄纸小册,翻开一看,里面字迹歪歪斜斜,他俩都不认得。原来这书是用梵文写的。萧峰只好暂时将小包收起放在怀里。

59 Xiao Feng was grateful and happy in his heart. He immediately opened the package and saw a thin yellow paper booklet. When he opened it, the handwriting in it was skewed, and neither of them could recognize it. The book was originally written in Sanskrit. Xiao Feng had to temporarily put the bag in his arms.

60两人正在店里吃喝,就见街上有个神智不清的大汉手挥板斧,边舞叫:“快,快去禀告主公,大恶人来了,要他赶紧躲避。”萧峰冲出客店拦住他,他却说,“你……你快去小镜湖方竹林禀报主公。”说完倒在地上。

60 While they were eating and drinking in the store, they saw a big man who was in a state of unconsciousness waving his hatchet and dancing in the street, saying, “Hurry, go and report to the Lord. The villain is coming, and ask him to escape quickly.” Xiao Feng rushed out of the inn to stop him, but he said, “You… go and report to the Lord in the bamboo grove of Xiaojing Lake.” Then he fell to the ground.

61萧峰见这人的确是有要紧事托他相传,就和阿朱一道去方竹林。他俩问明了方向,便匆匆上路了。

When Xiao Feng saw that this man really had something important to tell him, he went to Fang Zhulin with Ah Zhu. They asked for directions and hurried off.

62没多久,两人就来到了小镜湖畔,湖畔一个渔人正在垂钓。渔人刚钓起一尾青鱼,鱼线却被暗处飞来的一粒小石子打断,鱼也落入湖中。这时,就听见一阵清跪的笑声传来。

Before long, they came to Xiaojing Lake, where a fisherman was fishing. The fisherman had just caught a black fish, but the fish line was interrupted by a small stone flying from the dark, and the fish also fell into the lake. At this time, I heard a burst of kneeling laughter.

63寻着笑声看去,就见不远处站着一个穿紫衫的女孩子,约莫十五六岁,一副顽皮的神情。她似乎还没闹够,冲过来折断了渔人的钓杆,把它扔进了湖里。

Looking for the laughter, I saw a girl in purple standing nearby, about fifteen or six years old, with a naughty look. She didn’t seem to have enough trouble. She rushed to break the fisherman’s fishing rod and threw it into the lake.

64渔人大怒,伸手要抓女孩,女孩却闪身躲到了萧峰的背后,随即又抛出一张用细丝结的网,把渔人套住了。

The fisherman was furious and stretched out his hand to catch the girl, but the girl dodged behind Xiao Feng, and then threw a net with a thin silk knot to catch the fisherman.

65渔人在网中破口大骂女孩。正在这时,就听有人说:“褚兄弟,什么事啊?”不远处走来一个四十多岁的人,他一张国字脸,形貌威武,但轻袍缓带,装束很潇洒,此人不是别个,正是段正淳。

The fisherman cursed the girl in the net. At this time, someone said, “Brother Chu, what’s the matter?” A man in his forties came not far away. He had a stately face and a powerful appearance, but his light robe was worn slowly and his clothes were very smart. This man was not another one, but Duan Zhengchun.

66段正淳到了近前,问明了情况,便叫女孩放人。谁知女孩却在假装放入之时,左手轻轻一扬,对他施暗器。段正淳没想到女孩小小年纪竟这般歹毒,一气之下,运足内力,挥动右袖将女孩打入湖中。

When Duan Zhengchun came near, he asked the girl to let her go. However, when the girl pretended to put it in, she gently raised her left hand and threw a concealed weapon at him. Duan Zhengchun didn’t expect the girl to be so vicious at a young age. In a fit of anger, he used his internal power and waved his right sleeve to drive the girl into the lake.

67岸上的人等了许久,还不见女孩浮上来,都替她担心。段正淳原本是想吓吓女孩,这回见女孩迟没露出水面,心里着起急来,便大声叫起来,“阿星,阿星,淹死人了,快出来救人。”

67 The people on the shore waited for a long time, but they were worried about the girl before she came up. Duan Zhengchun originally wanted to frighten the girl, but this time the girl didn’t come out of the water. He was worried and cried out, “Ah Xing, Ah Xing, drowning, come out to save people.”
