Chapter 19: The Old Man of the Mountain Path
"Ahem, ahem, girl, don't panic, the old man has no malice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Following the sound of talking, an old man slowly walked out from behind a tree, still holding a few dead branches in his hands.
"Alas, it turned out to be a false alarm, grandpa, what are you doing when you come out alone on such a cold day?" Lin Zi let out a long sigh of relief.
I saw the old man leaning his back, and saw Long Yanran looking at him, so he looked away and smiled kindly, "Huh." As he spoke, he trembled and stretched out his right hand with a few branches, "It's cold, come out and collect some firewood to survive the winter." ”
"Grandpa, it's too hard for you to be alone. Lin Zixu said sympathetically, almost shedding a few tears.
Long Yanran turned his head to look at several of his companions, Shen Dong and Lin Zixu both raised their eyelids imperceptibly, and several people knew it.
The old man continued, "It's easy to live, it's easy to live, it's not easy to live." ”
"Grandpa, you see we still have something to do here, so let's go first..."
"Hey, is this friend of yours injured, go to my place to recuperate. The old man's eyes touched the bloodstained Xuandao Feng, not only did he not panic, but he also stretched out his hand to invite them to rest and recuperate.
"No, sir, we still have something to do. Shen Dong opened his mouth to refuse.
"Okay, you guys slow down. The old man had a warm face.
After chatting a few words, they turned around and left, thinking that Xuan Daofeng's injury was aggravated, and they were anxious, Shen Tao and Shen Dong walked in front with Xuan Daofeng, and Lin Zixu followed closely beside him, invisibly, but Long Yanran walked last.
The old man took a few steps forward and turned around, looking at Long Yanran who was at the end, a grim smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, holding firewood in his right hand, and a dagger slipped out of the sleeve of his left hand, he immediately tiptoed and gently approached Long Yanran.
Ten steps, nine steps, six steps... He meditated in his mind, and as the distance got closer, his heartbeat also 'banged' in response, and finally, there were only three steps.
He threw firewood, shouted, held a dagger, and threw himself towards Long Yanran.
When the people in front heard the movement, they turned around one after another, "Senior sister..."
How can this make people not in a hurry, seeing that the dagger is about to touch Long Yanran, but she hasn't turned around yet, this slow step is undoubtedly the gap between the end of the world.
Finally, just when the old man showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded, and he was about to succeed, Long Yanran disappeared.
As soon as she stepped her right foot, the whole person moved to the old man's side, and the right hand placed on her abdomen moved slightly, only to see a flash of bright light, and the 'finger wrapping soft' was already against the throat of the old man who had just stabilized his body, "Who sent you?"
"How did you know I had a problem?" He was more concerned about the question than about death, how the other party saw through his disguise.
"Look at your hands, how can anyone who is over the age of old still maintain them so well. Lin Zixu walked over with a smile.
"Well, this..."The old man glanced at his hand, "Is it just by virtue of this that you conclude that I have a problem?" After speaking, he looked at Long Yanran.
"A woman's intuition. There was no need for Long Yanran to answer, Lin Zixu had already taken over the conversation.
"Let me ask you one last time, who sent you to assassinate me?" Long Yanran's voice was cold.
"If you want to kill, you can kill, where do you have so many words. The old man's voice was the voice of a young man, and he looked proud.
"Tick tock..."Long Yanran was not pretentious, the sword blade moved, and the person who was still arrogant at that time was no longer breathing at this time, and his eyes were staring, I don't know if he also regretted it.
Lin Zixu turned his head and looked at the Shen Tao brothers, and they couldn't help but be stunned by Long Yanran's decisive and neat and resolute methods, but it was only a moment, and they recovered immediately, after all, it was either you die or I die, if Long Yanran didn't react just now, then she is the one who stays here now.
"Let's go. Long Yanran shook the soft sword in his hand, until the sword body was no longer dirty and bright red, then put the sword away, it turned out that this was a soft sword with strong toughness, as the old saying goes: a hundred tempered into steel, turned into a soft finger.
And the name of this sword - it is the finger around the soft, nothing happened, Long Yanran wrapped it around his waist.
"Wait a minute, if we keep going, the road ahead will definitely get harder and harder. Shen Dong interrupted, in fact, everyone present knew it.
"And my brother's injuries are not light, although I fed him a lot of herbs along the way, but in the long run, his injuries are bound to worsen. "Don't say it, although Shen Tao came out this time with a lot of medicinal herbs and bottles and jars, he never expected that all kinds of things would happen if he didn't succeed this day, and he didn't stop all the way, so it's no wonder that he directly picked up the herbs and stuffed them into Xuan Daofeng's mouth.
"Yanran. Lin Zixu looked at Long Yanran, and the two Shen Tao brothers also looked at her, as if they regarded her as the backbone of several people.
"If you advance, you will inevitably encounter more and more enemies, and if you retreat, you can't. Long Yanran shook her head, she was really in a dilemma at this time, she looked at this senior brother who was unconscious in order to protect them, "Our group is too big a goal, and the senior brother is seriously injured, so we can't go fast at all." ”
"In this way, their target is me, senior sister, you and the three senior brothers together, and I will go all the way alone, so that the journey will be easier. Although she didn't know who was chasing and killing her, Long Yanran knew that their target was only herself.
"No, you can't. Lin Zixu was the first to veto.
"Senior sister, our trip is to protect you, how can we let you be alone at this critical moment. Shen Dong then spoke.
"I don't think it's better to be like this, since it's not to advance, it's not okay to retreat, it's better for us not to advance or retreat, my brother and I will go to see if there is a place to rest in this neighborhood. "Shen Tao's proposal is not bad, but in this wilderness, can there really be a place to rest?
"I'll go with Senior Brother, as for Senior Brother Shen Dong and Senior Sister Zixu, they are waiting for us here. Long Yanran glanced at the white patch around her, and stepped forward to say.
"Senior sister, be careful. ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Zixu watched Long Yanran and Shen Tao walk together, thinking very much about their safety, and then squatted down and came to Xuan Daofeng's side, reaching out and touching her cheek, "Senior brother, you have to wake up quickly." At the same time, Shen Dong set up a few small formations around him, just in case.
For a master of his formation, a flower, a tree, a world, a leaf and a boat remember eternity, hold infinitely in the palm of his hand, peep into eternity in an instant, anything can become the material for his array.
"Senior brother, let's look for it separately, whether we find it or not, it is limited to half a pillar of incense. ”
"Good. ”
Long Yanran and Shen Tao suddenly separated and walked in two different directions.
"Huh, rabbit. Not long after the two separated, Shen Tao saw a rabbit, "Forget it, it's important to find a place to rest." Then he walked away with a few steps, "No, where did the rabbit come from in the winter, and it ran so fast, ah, by the way, could it be the 'snow rabbit'?"
Shen Tao clapped his hands and stomped his feet, turned around, and saw that the rabbit was still there, looking at him with small eyes at this time, the feathers all over his body were white, but they were not smooth, on the contrary, giving people a rough and frosted feeling.
"Good little bunny. As he spoke, Shen Tao tiptoed over.
It's just that the rabbit seems to have a spirit, and when he saw the sneaky Shen Tao, he ran away.
"Look where you're going. After speaking, Shen Tao rushed out with an arrow step.
In the snowy mountains, a handful of white figures ran desperately, and behind it was a huge figure, calling from time to time, "Come to my brother's arms and give you candy to eat." ”
