Chapter 19: Keep Running
The night is deep, swaying, quiet but not calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Duan He and Ling Li were resting in the room, but outside, there was already somewhere else.
A few figures passed on the roof, and several people did their best to go back and forth, but they didn't show any traces.
Duan He noticed that someone was there, but it was only because of an instinctive reaction, not because he heard the wind and grass.
He still closed his eyes, his spirit was called up, and he secretly lucked himself and carefully felt everything in the darkness.
Darkness is like a curtain that covers all the ugliness and madness. Those corners that are safe on weekdays may hide hides at night, which are deadly.
One, two, three.
The hideousness erupted in an instant, Duan He suddenly opened his eyes, and one got up and killed him.
At this time, the window was broken, and a person outside threw himself on the bed and was hit by Duan He's punch.
"Bang," there was a dull sound in the air, and the man let out a small groan and fell out of the air. Instinctively, he stepped on the window and adjusted his position.
Duan He was also merciless, took out the sword directly from his body, and stabbed it with a sword.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man didn't dwell too much, threw out a handful of silver needles from his hand, and rushed straight towards Duan He.
Duan He dodged his body, narrowly avoiding the silver needle in the dark. The sword, however, was one position earlier than him, and it stabbed the man at once.
"Thorn."
There was another sound, and the man screamed, leaving a trail of blood jumping out of the window.
Duan He looked at the broken window, and in order to protect Ling Li's comfort, he didn't chase out.
The candles in the room were lit, Ling Li sat on the bed with a frightened expression, and Yuechan locked it by Ling Li's side, looking at Duan He.
"What's wrong?"
After Ling Li asked, he already understood a little when he saw the broken window.
"I'll leave at dawn, now let's go to sleep." Duan He said, put away his sword, and dusted off the blood on his body.
Ling Li looked at Duan He and knew that this man had saved his life again.
There was nothing to say that night, and under Duan He's protection, Ling Li's sleepiness came back a lot, and he lay down on the bed again.
With such a loud voice, the whole inn seemed to be asleep, and even the night watchman did not come up to ask.
He didn't sleep long before Ling Li was woken up by Duan He.
"Are you leaving?" Ling Li muttered and asked.
"Well, let's go first." Duan He said.
Ling Li and Yuechan hurriedly packed their luggage and went downstairs with Duan He.
Downstairs, the guy had already gotten up early to start a fire and prepare breakfast an hour later, and when he saw the three people coming downstairs, he stepped forward to say hello.
"The guest officer got up so early, but he was in a hurry? The account room hasn't woken up yet, I'm afraid I can't settle the bill. Eat some freshly boiled porridge first, and then it's not too late to go. Xiao Er said cowardly.
Duan He was fine, looked back at Ling Li, who was half-asleep and half-awake, and nodded.
Nothing else is good, only freshly boiled porridge and a few side dishes. The back kitchen hurriedly fried two more dishes and put them on the table.
Duan He watched Ling Li and Yuechan gulping down and drinking, a little dazed.
"Duan He, aren't you eating?" Ling Li was stared at like this by Duan He, and began to look at his eyes unconsciously again, his face flushed slightly.
"I'm thinking, you two girls, you haven't experienced strong winds and waves. Why did you still eat when you encountered such a big event? Duan He said seriously.
Ling Li snorted and said, "I've never heard you say anything so interesting along the way, but ah, I won't tell you this, I don't know about it myself." ”
Duan He ate a few bites of something casually and didn't answer. He always looks like he has something on his mind, and maybe he is just not good at talking.
After eating casually, the bookkeeper finally woke up. After settling the account, the three of them said hello to the few people who got up again, and prepared to go out.
"Wait! Don't let them go! ”
A strange scream suddenly came from the second floor, Duan He reacted immediately, and he didn't care about anything, he directly dragged Ling Li and Yuechan and galloped out.
"Don't let him run! He broke our guest room! ”
There was a shouting at the end, but it quickly died down. Duan He exerted his light skills with all his might, how could a few subordinates be able to catch up.
After a quarter of an hour of continuous travel, Duan He put the two down. Ling Li and Yuechan gasped for breath, and they didn't even dare to breathe when Duan He ran up just now, for fear of being poured into their stomachs by the wind.
"What? Are we running out? Ling Li gasped slightly and said.
Duan He was silent, and Ling Li didn't expect this person who always didn't say anything halfway through his words to answer anything. When she raised her head, she saw that it was indeed Duan He's miserable white face.
"What's wrong with you?" Ling Li had never seen Duan He with such a complexion, and he was a little scared.
Duan He's mouth was tightly closed, and there was still some brightness in his eyes. But I can see that the look is slowly fading.
Yuechan and Ling Li helped Duan He to sit on the ground, and they didn't know where Duan He ran to, Ling Li looked around, but there was no one.
"Duan He, Duan He, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Ling Li felt more and more that something was wrong with Duan He, his face became paler and paler, and the strength of those eyes to open dissipated a lot.
Yuechan took the package containing the clothes on the side and asked Duan He to lean on for a while. It was freezing and there was no place to rest, and the two of them only felt more and more bottomless in their hearts.
Ling Li looked at Duan He and lightly touched Duan He's arm. His body was so cold, and the spirit in his body seemed to be evacuated in an instant.
"Duan He... Don't scare me, don't scare me..."
Ling Li's mouth was muttering over and over again, but tears flowed involuntarily. Yuechan hurriedly helped Ling Li wipe away her tears, and the two weak and weak women used almost all their strength to try to get Duan He's spirits over.
Duan He's eyes were still closed, and only a gap remained, barely able to see the state of the world.
In fact, he didn't dodge all of last night's flying needles.
Duan He was pricked by a dark needle, and he overestimated his consciousness. Since learning martial arts, most of the people he has faced have been defeated. He had long forgotten that he couldn't parry other people's moves, and he had forgotten how long it had been since he had practiced martial arts. That night, if he could use a little more energy, if he could be less careless, maybe that needle wouldn't have pierced him.
But the secret weapon in the darkness is like a soul seeking life, deadly, but it can only be seen when you are dying.
Duan He discovered that he had been tricked, and since the morning, he has secretly forced the toxin with his internal force. But just now he used light skills, but he didn't expect this poison to be so powerful, and it attacked his internal organs at once.
With his eyes closed, Duan He only felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, and the whole world was like nothing.
The heavens and the earth were pale.
