The sky is slightly overcast, and the spring rain is coming. Perhaps because of too much thought, after Li Tanlun and Han Jili left, Mo Ruxue felt a little groggy. No one ordered Mo Ruxue's name all afternoon, and she sat bored in front of the bronze mirror, playing with the makeup on the table. The delicate and small wooden rouge box has bottomed out, and the box of rouge is quickly exhausted after wearing heavy makeup all day in the Full Moon Building.

Towards the evening, the first spring rain in Qingzhou City has not yet fallen. Mo Ruxue took off the wooden sign with her name written on it outside the door, excused herself from being unwell, changed into light women's clothes, and walked around the street through the back door. She was going to go buy a few boxes of rouge.

The gray clouds closed the sky, and there were already people on the street holding lights, Mo Ruxue shuttled through the vast sea of people, turning left and right for a while, what she was looking for was a small shop called Drunken Smoke Shop. In the whole Qingzhou City, the rouge color is the brightest, and the girls in the Full Moon Building also like to use it the most. Hongmei told her that the drunken smoke spread out in a long alley to the east, and that the pillars of that alley were painted darker than the others.

Staying in the Full Moon Building every day, Mo Ruxue was not familiar with the paint paint of the shops on the street, so she had to follow the road all the way to the east, looking for alleys with drunken shops.

There are more and more people holding the lamp, and it hasn't been an hour, but Mo Ruxue still hasn't found a drunken shop. The night was hazy, and the faces of pedestrians began to blur and become illegible. Having gone far, it seemed to her that all the alleys were the same length, and the so-called lacquer was equally dark. Yaxing, who bought rouge, disappeared completely, and the bustling sea of people seemed to reveal a trace of mystery. Unable to find her way back to the Full Moon Tower, she simply continued to look east for the drunken smoke shop.

The lights are getting farther away, the pedestrians are getting fewer and fewer, and out of the downtown is a wilderness. Walking through the rocky path, the sight is gradually flattening, and among the overgrown weeds, you can see several lonely graves here. Mo Ruxue looked around and found that there was no one around, and it was desolate. She smiled helplessly, probably taking the wrong path and coming to the outskirts of the city. Just as she was about to turn around and return the way she came, several big men intercepted her way.

The person standing at the front holding the lamp approached Mo Ruxue, he took a closer look, and asked maliciously: "Yo, you look quite smart, how old is you?"

The empty wilderness echoed the lewd laughter of several big men. Mo Ruxue took a few steps back, dodging the dim light in front of her. At this time, the enemy was outnumbered, and the wound on his left shoulder had not yet healed, so it was really not appropriate to use force. She straightened her clothes, saluted and begged: "The little woman passed by here, and unintentionally bumped into the big brothers, please do well and let the little girl go." ”

The dull thunder exploded in the wilderness, and it was the first spring thunder in Qingzhou City. The rain that has been brewing for an afternoon will soon fall on the earth. The laughter of several big men came and went, and they were lewd, and they became even more intense when they heard the words.

A thinner man stretched out his hand to hook Mo Ruxue's chin, and said with a smile: "Alas, a woman who has not come out of the pavilion is really rare, rare." Why, passing by here, don't say anything to us?"

Mo Ruxue took a few steps back, and her expression did not show any panic. She said softly, "Brothers, please let the little girl go." ”

The rest of the people saw that Mo Ruxue was dressed in purple and had a docile and feminine attitude, so they chimed in: "What, don't you show us when you pass by?"

The breeze added a little coolness, and farther away, the first spring rain had fallen. Mo Ruxue took out the money bag on her body and offered it with both hands: "The little girl only has these money, please don't dislike it, big brother." ”

The man in charge of the lamp took the money bag, shook it in his hand a few times, and laughed: "Your money is not enough for us to eat, or you can accompany us for a night." ”

Mo Ruxue's eyes were a little ruthless, she sighed lightly, and said: "You covet the little woman's body so much, it really makes the little woman panic. But big brothers, there is a price to be paid for these words. ”

"Shouting, the mouth is quite hard. ”

Several big men continued to laugh lewdly, and they made eye contact with each other, as if they had long been familiar with the process of this matter. The big man in charge of the lamp threw the lamp to the ground and rushed to the front, he beckoned behind him: "Brothers, go up together, let her see how powerful we are." ”

A thick and powerful arm struck his chest, Mo Ruxue jumped to the side of the arrival, grabbed the neck of the visitor with his right hand, and stumbled with his left foot, slamming him to the ground.

The big man with the palm lamp applauded and said, "It's a good rose, it's still thorny." It doesn't hurt, the prickly ones are more interesting. Hmph, see how capable you are. ”

Mo Ruxue used a shawl to lead the extinguished lamp and threw it at several big men: "That little woman will make you happy tonight." ”

The thunder gradually intensified, and the dripping spring rain soaked the wilderness and soaked the clothes, and Mo Ruxue's thin figure dodged left and right under the siege. The wound on the left shoulder was soaked with blood due to the movement, and the moist air filled the nose, which was a little dull. She was unarmed, and at this time, she could only dodge when she used force with several big men.

The wilderness was muddy, Mo Ruxue was not very convenient to wear women's clothes, and she was outnumbered, and she was affected by the unhealed injuries, so she gradually struggled to dodge. The shawl was muddy on the ground, and the rain ran down her long eyelashes on her cheeks, and her vision was blurred by the rain.

There were footsteps approaching, and Mo Ruxue's gaze jumped over several big men, and she saw a familiar figure. The man's voice was cold: "Who is doing evil here?"

Several big men turned around one after another and looked at the man in a daze. The man approached step by step and said in a loud voice, "Let her go." ”

The big man in charge of the lamp was the first to react, and said to the left and right: "There's a nosy person, don't pay attention to him." ”

The thinner man then said, "I advise the prince not to meddle in his affairs, otherwise we will be polite." ”

The man was still moving forward, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the intimidation of the big men. Mo Ruxue wiped the rain on her face with her sleeve, her eyes were still a little blurry, but she could see the person's face clearly.

"Young Master Liu......"

Liu Muchen saw that it was Mo Ruxue, the surprise in his eyes was just a flash, and he said calmly: "Miss Xue'er, it turned out to be you." ”

Seeing the scene in front of him, the big man in charge of the lamp said sarcastically: "It turns out that this son wants to be a hero to save the beauty, but unfortunately, we can't save the beauty here." As he spoke, he reached out and tore Mo Ruxue's clothes, and Mo Ruxue hurriedly ran to Liu Muchen's side to dodge.

Liu Muchen blocked Mo Ruxue behind him, and drew his sword out of the sheath: "Since this is the case, then everyone, you are offended." ”

The big man in charge of the lamp rolled up his sleeves and sneered: "It's really a toast and don't eat and drink." ”

The sword light flashed, Mo Ruxue stood quietly aside, she felt that Liu Muchen's swordsmanship was somewhat familiar, and it was extremely similar to the swordsmanship taught to her by her second brother. But it was dark now, and she couldn't see it very clearly, and she wasn't sure, so she just thought she was wrong.

More than a dozen big men were quickly knocked down by Liu Muchen one by one, Mo Ruxue listened to their screams, and couldn't help but say to Liu Muchen: "Thank you Liu Gongzi for saving me, it's just that Gongzi is like this, isn't it a bit too heavy." ”

Liu Muchen put away his sword, glanced at the big man rolling on the ground, and replied lightly: "Miss Xue'er doesn't have to be polite, you can do it with your hands." It is not a pity to die for those who are immoral, and Miss Cher should not have pity on them. ”

Mo Ruxue knelt down and saluted: "Thank you Liu Gongzi, Liu Gongzi is Xue'er's benefactor, please accept Xue'er's worship." ”

From the first time they met, Mo Ruxue clearly knew that Liu Muchen approached her for other purposes, but no matter what, at this moment, she was really grateful to Liu Muchen for saving her in danger.

"Miss Xue'er, get up quickly," Liu Muchen helped Mo Ruxue up, saw the blood stain on Mo Ruxue's left shoulder, and asked with concern: "Miss Xue'er, but the wound on her left shoulder has not healed?"

Mo Ruxue nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The rain has not stopped, and the first spring rain in Qingzhou City this year is much heavier than in previous years. It was not yet dawn in the east, and Liu Muchen said: "Miss Xue'er's wound needs to be re-bandaged, and now that it has rained, it is better to choose a nearby place to shelter from the rain." ”

There were no houses around, Mo Ruxue frowned and said, "There are very few houses nearby, I don't know where to look?"

Liu Muchen said: "When I passed by the south below, I seemed to have encountered a place. ”

After a while of rain, Mo Ruxue was weak and a little dizzy, so he responded: "It's okay, go to the house in the south to take shelter from the rain first." ”

Without rain gear, Liu Muchen untied his coat and draped it on Mo Ruxue's body, helping her cover the wound on her left shoulder: "Why did Miss Xue'er come here?"

Mo Ruxue said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the slave family originally wanted to buy rouge from the drunken smoke shop in the market, but they haven't seen it for a long time. So he went to a distant place alone, but he got lost after dark, and this evil happened. ”

The rain rustled on the leaves. Liu Muchen chuckled and said, "Then Miss Xue'er should remember to bring a map when she goes out in the future." ”

Mo Ruxue tightly draped the coat on her body, and unconsciously got closer to Liu Muchen: "It's a good idea, the slave Xie Liu Gongzi reminded." I wonder why Liu Gongzi is here?"

An extremely muddy grass stood in front of the two, and Mo Ruxue couldn't get through it in her skirt and clogs. Liu Muchen drew his sword and cut off a few wooden planks from the trunk of the tree, and paved them one by one for Mo Ruxue: "I handed over the goods to people below, and I happened to pass by." ”

Mo Ruxue stepped on the plank, and the plank kept making bursts of sounds: "Liu Gongzi chose such a remote place to hand over goods to people?"

Liu Muchen watched Mo Ruxue walk on the plank, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just occasionally." ”

The rain gradually subsided, and finally two wooden houses appeared in front of me. Seeing clearly in the dark night, Mo Ruxue could vaguely know that the wooden house was very simple, and she said to Liu Muchen: "It's late at night, and the people in front of them have no lights, so don't disturb them with the slave family and the son." ”

Liu Muchen looked at the unlit wooden house, and unconsciously clenched the sword in his hand: "Miss Xue'er is injured and has difficulty moving, please stay here later, don't make a sound, stay down and ask." ”

Without waiting for Mo Ruxue to answer, Liu Muchen walked into the wooden house. After a short time, he came back and said to Mo Ruxue: "This house has long been deserted and dilapidated, and it is difficult to escape the wind and rain. ”

The rain had stopped, and the night air was crisp, with damp leaves still covered with raindrops. Mo Ruxue suddenly lost her strength, her body began to slide, she held Liu Muchen's arm, and continued: "In this case, let's go back to the city first." ”

Liu Muchen put his arm around Mo Ruxue's shoulders and asked, "Can Miss Xue'er still hold on?"

Mo Ruxue shook her head slightly, she just wanted to continue to say something, but she felt that the sky was spinning, and the next moment she fell into darkness.
