58韦小宝便把和小玄子比武之事告诉了海公公，海公公把韦小宝叫到床前，摸到他后腰的两处穴位，告诉他，要他明天全力打这两处穴位。
58 Wei Xiaobao told Grandpa Hai about the martial arts match with Xiao Xuanzi. Grandpa Hai called Wei Xiaobao to the bed, touched the two acupoints on his back waist, and told him to hit them with all his strength tomorrow.
59次日老吴又来叫小桂子去赌钱。那温家兄弟一个叫温有道，一个叫温有方。韦小宝使出手段，蠃了他们二十几两银子，又借二十两给他们做本钱，到停赌时，温家兄弟又将这二十两银子输了。
The next day, Lao Wu came again and asked Xiao Guizi to gamble. The Wen brothers are Wen Youdao and Wen Youfang. Wei Xiaobao used every means to win them more than 20 liang of silver, and lent them another 20 liang as capital. When the gambling stopped, the Wen brothers lost the 20 liang of silver again.
60韦小宝心中记着和小玄子比武之事，赌局一散，便奔到那间屋去。不一会，小玄子一身华丽新衣，笑嘻嘻地来了。韦小宝跃到门口，笑道:“死约会，不见不散!”小玄子也说:“对，死约会，不见不散!”
Wei Xiaobao remembered the fight with Xiao Xuanzi in his heart. When the game ended, he ran to the room. After a while, Xiao Xuanzi, dressed in gorgeous new clothes, came smiling. Wei Xiaobao jumped to the door and said with a smile, “Dead date, don’t see you and don’t leave!” Xiao Xuanzi also said, “Yes, dead date, don’t see you and don’t leave!”
61韦小宝一个打滚，翻身压在小玄子背上，正要按海公公所教伸手拿他穴位，小玄子已然翻了过来。韦小宝只得全身用力向他后腰撞去，右手从他臂腋里穿了过来，用劲向上甩出，小玄子的身子从他头顶飞过，掉在地上。
Wei Xiaobao rolled and rolled over on Xiao Xuanzi’s back. He was about to reach for his acupoints as instructed by Grandpa Hai, when Xiao Xuanzi turned over. Wei Xiaobao had to hit his back with all his strength, put his right hand through his arm, and threw it up hard. Xiao Xuanzi’s body flew over his head and fell to the ground.
62小玄子翻身跃起，韦小宝猛力扑去。小玄子见韦小宝扑到，侧身让开，伸手在他背上重重一推。韦小宝扑了个空，本已收脚不住，再给他顺势推出，登时俯身摔倒。
62 Xiao Xuanzi turned over and jumped up, and Wei Xiaobao pounced. When Xiao Xuanzi saw Wei Xiaobao pouncing on him, he stepped aside and put his hand on his back. Wei Xiaobao threw himself into the air. He could not stop his feet. Then he pushed him out and fell down.
63两人打得筋疲力尽，又约好明天再比。韦小宝回到屋中，将小玄子的招式使给海公公看，他拉住了海公公左手，放在自己右肩，说道：“他用力一甩，我身子被飞了出去。”“这是羚羊挂角。”海公公道。
The two players were exhausted and agreed to compete again tomorrow. Wei Xiaobao returned to the room and showed Xiao Xuanzi’s move to Grandpa Hai. He held Grandpa Hai’s left hand, put it on his right shoulder, and said, “He threw it hard, and my body flew out.”.
64海公公吟思道:“这孩子的师父，可是位高人哪!”坐回椅中，右手五指伸了又屈，屈了又伸，还详细询问小玄子的年岁和两人比武的经过，末了说:“他这‘小擒拿手’是新学的，我教你一路‘大擒拿手’。
Duke Hai thought, “This child’s master is an expert!” Sitting back in the chair, his five fingers of his right hand stretched and bent and stretched, and asked Xiao Xuanzi’s age in detail and how they competed in martial arts. Finally, he said, “His’ small catcher ‘is new, and I will teach you’ big catcher ‘all the way.
65第二天韦小宝和小玄子比武，见他又换了新衣服，心生妒嫉，上手便将他衣襟撕了一条大缝。但小玄子乘机戳中他左腿，韦小宝左腿酸麻，跪在地上，只得投降。
The next day, Wei Xiaobao and Xiao Xuanzi competed in martial arts. Seeing that he had changed his clothes again, he was jealous and tore a big slit in his lapel. However, Xiao Xuanzi took the opportunity to poke him in the left leg. Wei Xiaobao’s left leg was sore and he knelt on the ground and had to surrender.
66韦小宝站起身来，使出海公公教的一招“仙鹤梳翎”，一把扭住小玄子手腕，跟着手肘在他背心急撞，小玄子大叫一声，痛得无力反抗。两人比武以来，韦小宝总是输多蠃少，这回赢了，不禁得意洋洋。
Wei Xiaobao stood up and used the “Crane Comb Feather”, a trick taught by the Duke of the Sea. He twisted Xiao Xuanzi’s wrist and followed his elbow to bump against his vest. Xiao Xuanzi cried out, unable to resist with pain. Since the duel between the two men, Wei Xiaobao has always lost more and won less. This time he won, he can’t help but be elated.
67这些日子，韦小宝每日上午赌钱，中午比武，午后回房便同海公公学几招武功，时日匆匆，不觉便过了两月。温氏兄弟已借了韦小宝二百多两银子。这日还未赌完，温氏兄弟使个眼色，邀韦小宝进了隔壁厢房。
These days, Wei Xiaobao gambles in the morning, competes in martial arts at noon, and learns some martial arts with Grandpa Hai when he comes back to his room in the afternoon. The days are in a hurry, and two months have passed without realizing it. The Wen brothers have borrowed more than two hundred taels of silver from Wei Xiaobao. Before the end of the day, the Wen brothers winked and invited Wei Xiaobao into the next wing.
