Chapter 220: Crickets

The young master closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them.

Gu Zhirong thought to himself, in such a critical and dangerous situation, it was impossible for him to rest well. Seeing that his brows were tightly knit, he knew that he was trapped by pain, so his eyes turned around the surrounding haystacks and thought of a way.

She pulled some hay out of the haystack, pinched it twice in the east and twice in the west, and soon it became a cricket. She shook the cricket in front of him and asked, "Is it pretty?"

He couldn't help but smile and nodded, "It's good-looking." ”

Gu Zhirong, who was praised, was very proud, took some hay and made a bunch of crickets for him to see.

He couldn't help but laugh: "You really look a bit like my mother." ”

Gu Zhirong glared at him dissatisfied: "Am I so old?"

He ignored her, and his thoughts were wandering: "Mother is also very good at making these gadgets, and she often made them for me to play with when I was young." Because of this, my favorite thing to play when I was a kid was fighting crickets. My crickets are the most famous in the capital, one is called the iron-headed general, and the other is called invincible. It is nine centimeters long, with a large head and wide wings, thick legs and long teeth, and it is a famous species among crickets at first glance. Later, his father found out that he trampled two crickets to death, and his father beat them with a leather whip, saying that the plaything was demoralized and he never played again. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a smile, as if he was still immersed in the joy of the past, and the naughty self-deprecation of his past.

Gu Zhirong was a little shocked: "How old were you that year?"

"Eight years old. He replied.

Gu Zhirong was silent. It seems that the young masters of those famous families are not as chic and happy as they seem on the outside, and they will be punished for even playing cricket. It seems that the childhood of the children of these families is not as happy as that of the children of ordinary people.

She couldn't help but say: "Actually, children, playing cricket fighting is not a big deal, and your father is too strict with you." You want to. A seven or eight-year-old child, you don't play with him, but you ask him to be such a child to look like an adult, how awkward, how scary. ”

The young master looked at her with some surprise: "You...... What do you think?"

Gu Zhirong nodded and said, "Yes, I think it's normal for children to love to play and make trouble." There should always be some innocence. Your father is too you......"

The young master was silent for a while, and then said, "My father is so strict with me. There's a reason for that. My father hated me because ...... Because I killed my mother......"

Gu Zhirong looked at him in surprise, but he lowered his head.

Could this be the deepest pain hidden in his heart?

Is that why he's afraid of water?

She didn't really plan to explore the secrets of her heart, and she didn't know how. Making a few crickets brings up his sad past.

Gu Zhirong didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to comfort him, so I had to watch him silently and accompany him to be sad.

There were droplets of water falling and falling on her hands, cool. She tilted her head: "Are you crying?"

The young master turned his face away: "No." ”

After a while, he said sullenly: "I don't like to cry on weekdays, and my family rarely sees me crying." ”

Gu Zhirong stood up: "You rest here for a while, I'll go out and see if the lantern is extinguished." ”

The lantern goes out. It proves that the ship is about to explode and must leave immediately.

In fact. She just wanted to give him a moment to calm his fluctuating thoughts.

Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, she returned, and he had regained his composure, his eyes staring sharply outside, listening vigilantly to the movement outside.

"This place is not good for long. He said, "The man who just left, if he finds blood on the blade, will definitely come back and search for it." So, we have to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Gu Zhirong nodded: "You're right, I think that person is obviously a very suspicious person, maybe he will really turn back." ”

As she spoke, she helped the young master to stand up: "Now let's get out of this boat at once." ”

But before they could take a few steps, a rush of footsteps came in. The one at the head was the one who had just stabbed the young master with a knife.

This time, there were seven or eight.

Gu Zhirong quickly pulled the young master into a small room, and she said to him, "You are seriously injured, don't fight with them again." You stay here first, and I'll go and lead them away. ”

After speaking, she turned around and was about to go out, but he grabbed her: "Are you really good?"

After all, she is a weak woman who doesn't know any martial arts, and he doesn't feel at ease if she lets her lead away those gangsters alone.

"It's fine. Gu Zhirong didn't know where he got the courage, and said confidently, "Have you forgotten how the No. 1 master of the night shadow was knocked down just now?" Don't worry, I will definitely be careful, and I will definitely come back safe and sound." ”

He slowly let go of her hand. He knew the current situation, and if he followed, it would drag her down. She's so witty and smart, she'll be fine.

Gu Zhirong went out and shook her body, and those people saw her and chased after her. With the experience of playing in the boat in her previous life, she led the group to the boathouse on the other side, and then quickly jumped out of the window, and those people chased after her, and as soon as she turned around, she threw "fairy drunk" into the window, and then pressed the window tightly.

The effect of "fairy drunk" is amazing, only a little inhaled, and he was drunk immediately. Those people were completely defenseless, and all of a sudden they all fell "plopped".

Gu Zhirong clapped his hands proudly and returned the same way. When she returned to the same place, she found that the young master was gone!

There was blood on the ground, and her heart suddenly lifted. She thought back to the people she had just led away, and something seemed wrong. Suddenly, she remembered that there was one person missing, and that person was the one who carried the knife and pierced the haystack!

It's so cunning!

Gu Zhirong gritted his teeth in anger, the young master was seriously injured, not to mention that person's martial arts are not weak, even if it is an ordinary person, in terms of physical strength, the young master may not be able to support it for a long time.

Following the bloodstains, sure enough, at the stern of the boat, the sound of a clear fight was heard.

After one move, the young master's arm was slashed, blood stained the entire sleeve, his arm hung down weakly, and the sword in his hand also fell to the ground.

And the man in black who was the opponent was unscathed.

At this time, he was smiling and approaching the young master step by step, and the knife in his hand was slowly raised.

"Stop!" Gu Zhirong shouted.

The man in black was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw that it was a little girl, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he smiled: "Little girl, are you here to die......?"

The young master was in a hurry, but he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch, so anxious that the blue tendons on his forehead loomed: "You stop, don't hurt her!"

Gu Zhirong didn't have a trace of fear, and quietly looked at the man in black, such a formation made the man in black dare not act rashly.

She said calmly: "You are not here to kill people, but to find people, right?"

The man in black was stunned for a moment.

Gu Zhirong immediately continued: "I know who you are looking for. You're looking for two people, two little girls, oh no, a little girl and a little boy. ”

The man in black's eyes widened instantly. Killing people doesn't make money, catching those two people is a lot of money.

"Do you really know where those two people are?" said the man in black's eyes glowed greedily. (To be continued......)
