At night, the mountains are silent, with only the occasional sound of insects and birds, and the dark sky seems to suppress the mountains.

The woman in white placed the man in gray on a mountain wall, laid him a straw mat, handed him a bag of water, and asked, "Are you better?"

The man in gray took the water bag and nodded, "Thank you, girl, it's much better." ”

The woman also sat down next to the man, "Why are you so stupid?"

"Huh?" the man was stunned for a moment, and looked at the woman in confusion.

The woman said, "Why do you know that your abilities are limited, but you still dare to fight those vicious bandits? Do you know that you will die?"

The man took a sip of water, coughed, and smiled, "Isn't this a girl?"

"Poor mouth!" the woman raised her eyebrows, and she was about to slap his mouth.

The man hurriedly waved his hand and sneered, "Okay, I just don't want to see those bandits despise human life." You ask me why I went up? Then I ask you, why don't I go up? You can also see very clearly, if I don't stand up, the man will not only die, but the women and girls who have been kidnapped will not end well, and they may not know what kind of bullying they will suffer in the future. I know martial arts, I have a sword, how can I sit idly by?"

The woman said, "But there is also a premise for chivalry, which is that you can get out of the way." What's the point of saving people and putting your own life into it?"

"Of course it makes sense!" said the man, without thinking, "If you don't step forward because you are afraid of death, this is called cowardice." I may not be as good as them in martial arts and not as good as them in swords, but as long as I see it, no matter what, I will stand up. Maybe I died in the end, but I also died well. ”

Hearing this, the woman fell silent and did not answer him.

The man asked, "What about the girl, why did the girl help me? The girl must have known that these bandits were all outlaws, and when you came forward, didn't you think that you might die?"

The woman said, "I've thought about it, but I know I won't die, because my martial arts are higher than yours." I help you for the same reason as you help them, I can't see these people careless of human life. ”

The man laughed, "That's not much worse, it's all the same reason." ”

"No!" said the woman categorically, "there is a difference. My martial arts are high, and your martial arts are low. ”

"Ef..."The corners of the man's mouth twitched, "Girl, can you not always expose my shortcomings?"

"Let's be honest, it's you who are too sensitive," the woman said lightly.

"In Xia Qiqi, I don't know the girl's name?"

The woman thought for a moment and said, "You call me Qiqi!"

"Qiqi, a good name, it's similar to my pronunciation," the man laughed.

The woman glared at him and said angrily, "Are you so close to a girl?"

"Hey," the man scratched his head.

"By the way, how did you end up in such a remote place?"

The man's eyes floated a trace of loneliness, and he was silent for a while, and said, "Because, my master died, and he and I originally lived in the mountains near here. ”

"Well... Condolences. The woman patted the man on the shoulder.

"Hmm," the man nodded.

"You have done a good job, today you saw that the road was uneven, stood up, advanced in the face of difficulties, your courage is commendable, your master will be pleased in the spirit of heaven. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Are you hungry, eat something!" the woman handed the man a piece of pastry.

The man was a little stunned, "Does the girl still carry pastries?"

"Uh-huh!" the woman nodded, "I like to eat, so I'll make my own." ”

The man looked around and said, "What are you doing with this wilderness?"

"Stupid, won't I go to the city?" the woman sneered.

"Oh, yes, I forgot, hehe," the man said, grabbing the pastry and sniffing it in front of his nose, sighing, "Wow, it smells so good..."

Hearing this, the woman's face turned red for no reason, "Quick, eat quickly, don't smell it." ”

"Well, good!" the man picked up the pastry and took a bite in his mouth, chewed it, and found that it tasted so good that it melted in his mouth, "Wow, it's delicious!"

He turned to look at the woman, but saw that her face was flushed like a ripe apple, and he asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

The woman covered her face with her hand and said hesitantly, "Don't, don't ask, eat quickly." ”

"Huh, girl, it seems that this pastry tastes a little similar to yours..."

"Stop talking, scoundrel!" the woman slapped the man on the shoulder. But this palm was a little heavy, and he couldn't control it, and the man suddenly felt pain, and he couldn't stop grinning.

The woman panicked a little and hurriedly asked, "You, how are you? Are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm a little heavy." ”

"No, it's okay," the man touched his shoulder, there was a scabbed blood stain, which was left by the previous battle with the bandits, although it was scabbed, and the woman also healed him, but it was definitely not so fast for a while.

The woman explained, "The spices I use to make this pastry are the same as the incense powder I rub on my body, so..."

The man nodded, "Oh, I see. But does it have anything to do with your blushing, girl?"

"Because, because—" The woman stopped talking, and then said "Ah", "Don't say it, don't ask." ”

"Oh," the man asked, "why are you here, girl?"

"I ran out of the house," the woman said.

"Your family must be very rich, depending on the texture of your clothes, the decorations on your body, and the horses you ride. ”

The woman nodded, "Yes, but being rich is not necessarily happy." ”

"Then girl, why did you run away from home, is it not more comfortable to stay at home than in the mountains?"

The woman was a little sluggish, "Don't ask." ”

"Oh..."

The two fell silent, each eating their pastries, silent.

At one point, the woman suddenly put a finger to her lips and whispered, "Shhhh It looks like someone, don't move. ”

The man slowly pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword, holding his breath.

Rustling~.

At this moment, some faint sounds could be faintly heard coming from nearby.

The two exchanged a look and nodded to each other. When I first met, I already had a tacit understanding.

At this time, a voice came from nearby.

"Big brother, you said that in this wilderness, where would the pair of dogs and men hide?"

"It should be around here, the man is injured, and it's not easy to walk at night, so they can't run far. ”

"Big brother, I heard that the woman looks pretty good, the sixth child pretended to be dead and alive from her hands, and after seeing her, she said that she is really a heavenly maiden, and she cannot be blasphemed, and she is much more tender than the village girls we have taken captive!"

"If it's really as powerful as you say, then I'll marry her to be the lady of the village!"

"Then dare to be kind, big brother, you marry that fairy as a lady, the brothers will catch those women during the day, hehe, a radish and a pit, just right!"

"You kid, you're calculating"

"Hey, hey!"

Right now.

Wow!

Suddenly, a movement came from the nearby dense forest, and all the bandits were startled, and they all paused in unison, glanced at each other, and tacitly leaned towards the source of the sound.

In the woods, both of them were shocked, and the man accidentally stepped on the air and made a movement. At the moment, the two of them looked extremely bad, and their nerves were tense, and they didn't know what they would encounter next.

Rustling~.

The faint sound of footsteps came from nearby, and it seemed to be gradually expanding.

The nerves of the two gradually tensed.

Finally, a loud shout of "ah" sounded beside him, and a bare-armed man brandished a machete and appeared in the field of vision of the two.

"Hey, dog man and woman, die to Lao Tzu!"
