Chapter 33: Attacked
Lin Xinyin was alone at the moment, leading Xiao Huang to walk on the streets of Wuhua Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe crowd passed by, the noise and laughter were endless, but she didn't have time to care about all the people or things in front of her that had nothing to do with her, just because the strong feeling of being followed and watched behind her made her nerves tense and tightened.
She had looked back once before, and saw that among the ordinary and ordinary passers-by behind her, a man as thin as a monkey suddenly stopped, turned around and swayed into the corner of the street very unnaturally, and turned his head from time to time to peek at herself, but she didn't know that his purpose was suddenly revealed by his behavior that was completely different from ordinary people.
It's just a lame stalker. Lin Xinyin then looked behind her twice, and the second time, as soon as the person met her gaze, he turned around and stood at a small stall on the side of the street, pretending to be picking goods; The third time, he pretended to be in a hurry, but the expression of the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes could not be concealed.
With such a three-legged cat's tracking skills, is he deliberately trying to attract his own attention? Lin Xinyin secretly sneered in her heart: she could guess what he was doing, but she didn't know if he knew that he had exposed his whereabouts?
Still, the feeling of being followed all the way is always uncomfortable. Lin Xinyin had already taken a look at the face of the stalker, but she had never seen that person, so she didn't know where it came from. If it was someone from the Floating Cloud Residence, the secret sentinel sent out wouldn't be so indiscriminate, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Xinyin's tense nerves unconsciously relaxed: And now in broad daylight, the streets are full of pedestrians, and those who don't dare to do anything about it; Even if she dares, she still has the Pupil Technique and Ye Mei Sword for self-defense; Even if she can't defend herself, she still has Xiao Huang, as long as one turns over and gets on the horse, gallops with four hooves, and goes away, who can keep up?
So, Lin Xinyin made up her mind and continued to move forward, while catching a few passers-by to find the whereabouts of Ling Yueyuan and the others. When she entered the town in the morning, she saw that most of the shops were closed, and she guessed that maybe Ling Yueyuan had entered the town very early, so she could only expect to meet one or two townsfolk who had been active earlier and had even seen them.
"Uncle, have you ever seen four people riding four horses through this town? Well, one of the teenagers was dressed in tatters...... No? Well, thank you ......"
"Hey, Auntie, have you ever seen a teenager on horseback...... Well, there is a long thread sewn on the front of the placket...... No, uh-huh, sorry ......."
"Well, uncle, I'm looking for a teenager who might be riding a horse...... Ah, haven't seen it? Hmm, excuse me......"
Lin Xinyin asked a few passers-by, and after considering some possibilities, she changed a few more words, but what she gained was still disappointment.
Unconsciously, her shadow on the long street has been dragged longer and longer by the slanting sun on the horizon, like the gradually expanding loneliness, creeping up like vines and invading her heart.
It's still daylight, and the warm sun is hanging, but there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, which makes Lin Xinyin wonder: and these pedestrians later are all in a hurry, she just opened her mouth to ask half a sentence, but people sent her away with a straight "I don't know", and left in a hurry.
Why is that? Lin Xinyin was puzzled.
Crossing the streets of the commercial area in the west of the town, there are even fewer pedestrians, surrounded by high walls on both sides, and the street intersections are gradually increasing. Lin Xinyin has unknowingly walked to the residential area in the east of the town, but now many houses are also closed, and there are few people.
She didn't know that the few days from now until the end of the month before the Heavenly Spirit Festival were the busiest and most lively time in the Zhennan Market, and almost all the townspeople would flock there to catch the market. Even Ah Cai didn't know about this because he didn't live in Wuhua Town, so he couldn't tell her these facts. If she goes to the bazaar, she may be able to get some clues; But now, she could only stare at the gradually silent street with more and more urgency, hoping that there would be a miracle of pedestrians in front of her who knew Ling Yueyuan's whereabouts.
However, the streets in the east of the town are biased towards fewer passers-by, and the more you walk, the more deserted they become. After a while, Lin Xinyin saw a figure in front of her slowing down, but the person did not meet him, but turned into the alley at the intersection in front of the street, and disappeared in a moment.
And the stalking behind her no longer sneakily dodged in the corners and alleys, and just appeared in the long street under the sun and followed her all the way, always maintaining a distance that was not long or short, one in front of the other, and the two figures were conspicuous in this empty street.
Lin Xinyin didn't expect Zhendong to be so quiet, walking on this empty street, a sense of foreboding gradually lingered in her heart. Her sixth sense had keenly caught the dangerous aura that permeated her surroundings, and after crossing an intersection, she was thinking about whether to turn over and get on the horse, quickly shake off the stalking behind her, and immediately avoid this extremely uncomfortable area, but unexpectedly, the situation changed in this instant!
At the corner of the street that she had just crossed, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind her and pounced on her!
The attacker was very fast, and it was a sudden attack, Lin Xinyin only felt that the sunlight behind her seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness suddenly, replaced by the cold air that was rushing in, and before she could react, she saw two thick black shadows stretching out from her back, over her arms, and crutches at her front waist, and then contracted, and locked her body like two big pythons, so that her left hand, which was originally holding the little yellow reins, also hung down weakly.
Lin Xinyin looked down in surprise, only to find that she had been firmly restrained by two thick arms; Then his body was dragged by a brute force, and the whole person tilted back, and fell into the bear hug of the attacker behind him, and in an instant, a strong male sour smell pierced his nose.
It was too late and impossible to look back, but the man behind her was much stronger and taller than herself, Lin Xinyin was shocked to find that her height could barely reach his chin, her arms had been strangled and hung low at her waist, her back was close to the man's arms, and her legs were pressed against the knees of the descendant; A foul smell of body odor filled the air, making her almost dizzy.
She frowned, panicked, and subconsciously struggled to get up, but in vain. Her physical strength was originally average, she had never practiced internal strength, and her strength was no match for an ordinary strong man, and some of them only had the sensitive perception and swift speed that came with the help of the mysterious ring, but at this moment, her body was firmly restrained by the barbarian behind her, and she could no longer give full play to these advantages.
At this time, Lin Xinyin suddenly realized that maybe that thin and crappy stalking was really just a bait to attract her attention, and the real attacker was this strong man...... It seems that I was really careless!
But it's too late to regret at this moment. She suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in her heart, and her body trembled honestly.
At this moment, she behaved like a lamb caught under the claws of a fierce beast, and the natural physical reaction, helplessness and fear were also felt by the wolf behind her, which brought the person a cat-and-mouse excitement.
As a result, Lin Xinyin suddenly felt that the force of clasping her arms seemed to loosen slightly, and the hair on the top of her head was pressed by the man's chin, and a muddy laugh came into her ears.
The man's nerves seemed to be paralyzed, and it had been determined that she was just a weak woman, and at the moment she was a lamb to the slaughter, and the meat on the board did not need to be taken too seriously......
Here's your chance! Lin Xinyin, who quickly calmed down, her eyes flashed, sweeping away the haze of helplessness, fear and trembling, and when she was about to make a move, she suddenly saw another person jump out of another street corner, rushing to her front, holding a rag-like thing in his hand, and about to cover her face!
Demand immediate action! Lin Xinyin's eyes were draped in brown!
"Heart's Eye, Breathing—!"
The coarse cloth that the gangster was spreading out in front of her was close at hand, and she could clearly see a puddle of pale blue wet stains in the middle of the dirty cloth, as well as the pungent smell of potion on her face.
The three gangsters cooperated very closely one after the other, especially the sudden attack of the two guys in the back was even more unexpected. Lin Xinyin clearly saw that the corners of the mouth of the person who attacked her in front of her were raised, and there was obscenity in her eyes, and she couldn't help but be full of anger: If she hadn't activated the pupil technique in time, maybe it wouldn't have taken a moment to stun them, right? What a bunch of things!
But at this point, her arms were firmly locked, and she could only wave back and forth at a limited angle. If she were an ordinary person, she would not be able to take out any sharp weapons or make any resistance at this moment, but she was different!
So, Lin Xinyin bit her teeth and whispered, the ring jade on her right finger flashed with a blue light, and the hilt of Ye Mei's sword gradually flashed in the palm of her right hand, and the tip of the sword was facing behind. When this short sword fully appeared, she immediately grabbed the only treasure given to her by God, and stabbed the hilt of the sword into the thigh of the strong man trapped behind her!
Without half a point of resistance, the sharp Ye Mei Sword reached the end of the handle.
Then, her knees bent slightly, and then she jerked her toes, raised her head, and slammed her head into the jaw of the thug behind her who was laughing with her mouth open and thinking she was going to win!
The failure of the pupil technique was almost over, and Xiao Huang was blocking the way on Lin Xinyin's left, so she used all her strength to tilt her body to the right as hard as she could, and at the same time pulled out the Ye Mei Sword with her right hand.
Xiao Ye's eyebrows rose leisurely, bringing out several springs of crimson. However, her sword body was still silver and snowy, shining brightly, and her whole body was hidden in a pale blue halo like a shield, so that the dirty blood could not get close to her side at all, like a snow lotus out of the mud without staining.
When all the effects of the eyes of the heart were dissipated, the situation that seemed to be a foregone conclusion just now changed again.
……
The gangster in front thought that his speed was already quite fast, and Lin Xinyin was firmly locked, thinking that covering her nostrils with a druggated coarse cloth was just a trivial matter, just like dealing with a puppet that couldn't move, but unexpectedly, the puppet reacted extremely fast, just tilted his body and head to the right as much as he could, so that the medicine cloth in his hand could only brush her left cheek, and then stick to the shoulder of the gangster behind.
The gangster behind was much more unlucky, when he just tightened Lin Xinyin's strength, he saw that she didn't have any sharp weapons in her hand, and the soft and lovely delicate body that was firmly controlled by his iron arm in his arms came from a tingling sensation that made him feel extremely comfortable, which also made him relax a little guard. It's a pity that this thousand-year-old comfort didn't last for more than a moment, and the seemingly harmless white rose suddenly grew out of thin air and pierced his thigh fiercely. Before he could completely let go of the lewd smile just now, he was shocked to find that his jaw seemed to be slammed by the horns of the little lamb who was still afraid just now, and the two rows of yellow teeth were bitten so hard that he almost bit off his tongue. After screaming, he no longer had the courage to take the scorching poisonous rose in his arms, but subconsciously let go of his arms and hurriedly covered the bleeding mouth and thighs first. At this moment, each hand protects two wounds, but it is just right.
……
Lin Xinyin noticed that the arms trapped in her had been released, and her right-leaning body quickly knocked it away, escaping from the cage first. It's just that she hasn't practiced any body techniques, and her body leans to the right a little more, so her steps are unsteady, she stumbles, and falls on the bluestone road like drunk.
But her wariness didn't go away. She knew full well that there were two gangsters who had not yet been injured, and that she was not far from the two who had attacked her. So, without hesitation, her eyes looked to the left, and immediately changed color, and she sacrificed the pupil technique again!
"Heart's Eye, Breathing—!"
Sure enough, another gangster with a medicinal cloth had already taken out a dagger from his arms at this moment and pounced on her like a wolf...... He probably expected that he was not a weak woman without the power to resist, and it was unforgivable that he took out a murder weapon to deal with her who fell to the ground!
Lin Xinyin, who quickly gained time to react, raised the sleeve of her left hand to wipe off the irritating potion that was applied to her left face and made her drowsy, and after getting up, she brandished the Ye Mei Sword with her right hand, obliquely everything, first cut off the murder weapon in the gangster's hand, and then slashed a silver light horizontally across his chest.
In fact, her sword only reached the skirt of the gangster's clothes, and did not penetrate deeply. Rao was like this, and he still saw that the man's front was slowly pulled open like a zipper, and the grin opened was getting longer and longer, and then even the underwear began to tear, and several layers of clothing were torn until a wound gradually turned red and deepened on the dark chest, oozing several drops of blood.
As the effectiveness of the pupil technique faded, the gangster realized that he only held a sword hilt in his hand, and when he was in a daze, he suddenly noticed a sharp pain in his chest, and the placket of his clothes was dyed red at some point. After a while, the tear of the clothes was pushed open by the hidden object in the arms by several inches, and after a while, I heard a "hiss", and the crack that could no longer hold was torn open and a large corner of fragments hung low, followed by the large bags and small bags of items in the arms fell to the ground one after another, and instantly stirred up a burst of fog, yellow, white, and blue, the color is good-looking, but the taste is extremely choking, and the landing place of the pile of unknown objects is like a small gas pool, forcing the people nearby to quickly distance themselves from it, Even Xiao Huang let out a long sigh and hurriedly walked away a few steps, but stopped the horse's hooves, as if waiting for Lin Xinyin.
Lin Xinyin, who accidentally inhaled a few puffs of poisonous smoke, was shocked to feel even more dizzy, and even her vision seemed to become blurred. She reluctantly looked back, only to see that the little Misan, who had been following her, was standing not far away for some time, and was panickedly taking out a small cyan bamboo tube from her arms and aiming at herself, as if it was a small blow arrow or something, so she couldn't think about it anymore, gritted her teeth, and used the pupil technique for the third time!
"Heart's Eye, Breathing—!"
At the same time, a flash of light shot out of the bamboo tube.
It's a pity that in Lin Xinyin's brown eyes, the speed of the secret weapon that shot at this time was not much faster than that of the turtle. She could clearly see the trajectory of the arrow slowly breaking through the air with a light blue dark light: it seemed that the murder weapon had been fed with poison, and this gang of bandits had either drugged or used poison, using some despicable means that did not enter the stream, which was really despicable.
So, Lin Xinyin, who was indignant and attacked, avoided the poisonous arrow, rushed to the front of the blowing arrow like a wind, stood slightly, and the right hand holding Ye Mei's sword slashed through a shining semicircle, and the sharp sword edge cut it in half horizontally along the center of the mouth of the arrow, like a bamboo chopping bamboo, and cut all the way down the barrel to the wrist holding the arrow, cutting out a big hole in the flesh of the hand.
When the stalker reacted, he found that the quiver exposed outside the wrist had been cut in two, and the left wrist holding the front end was torn by more than an inch, until even the little tail finger was cut to the ground, and he was suddenly shocked, his eyes were as big as lanterns, and then a burst of wailing and screaming burst out of his mouth at the right time, as if as long as he screamed a few times, the pain would be reduced a few points.
At this time, Lin Xinyin was already standing in the distance, just some distance away from the three gangsters. Her face was slightly red, beads of sweat were wrapped around her forehead, her body trembled slightly, and she was panting for breath, and it was really unbearable for her to use the pupil technique three times in such a short period of time, but at this moment she was not yet able to rest.
"Get out!" Lin Xinyin straightened up, her watery eyes shot out several cold rays of light like ice at this moment, and swept the three gangsters around her one by one with her flat Ye Mei sword. Her left hand hung down from her waist, trembling slightly. She didn't even dare to raise her left hand to wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead, lest the other party see the flaws.
The first to roll was the deflated stalker who released the dark arrow. He almost crawled and fled, as if to escape the evil spirit, and in a short time he rolled away without a trace, leaving only a stain of blood on the long street, as if to show his glorious battle deeds.
Then there were the two gangsters who attacked Lin Xinyin, the tall man who was the most seriously injured was helped by the person who tried to drugged, and limped into the corner of the street, not forgetting to stare at Lin Xinyin viciously, but there was more incomprehension and disbelief in his eyes.
Lin Xinyin saw that the two of them seemed to be secretly eating some pills as they walked, it seemed that it might be an antidote or something...... She had also accidentally smoked some drugs and poisonous smoke, which would have made her feel uncomfortable, but she was cautious and did not dare to come forward and force them to ask for an antidote, lest she be put on the side by those poisonous things.
Besides, her current situation is not good, she is faintly unstable on her feet, and Shicai is just pretending to be momentum to force away the gangsters first.
After a while, the long street regained its tranquility. In fact, from the time of the incident to the present, it has not exceeded half an hour, and it has miraculously not bumped into other unrelated passers-by.
There were three pools of blood on the streets, but fortunately, not a single drop was her own.
Lin Xinyin approached Xiao Huang tiredly, took the reins again, and stroked its sideburns with a smile: "Xiao Huang, why don't you help me and kick these guys to the sky......"
Xiao Huang embarrassedly lowered his head and kicked the horse's hooves, as if waiting for his master to ride up.
But she didn't have the strength to turn over and get on the horse now, and even if she could get on the horse, she was afraid of accidentally falling down. Her dizziness seemed to deepen, and even the long straight street in front of her was twisted like a twisted flower, so that she couldn't help but shake her head a few times, trying to make herself more sober.
She was looking for a place to rest, maybe just sit on the side of the street...... But at least not here.
So, Lin Xinyin took Xiao Huang by the hand, took a start, and continued to walk along the long street.
After walking for a while, the steps became a little heavy. Lin Xinyin couldn't help but raise her right hand and rub her forehead, but as soon as her eyes were closed, there was a strong sense of sleepiness, which frightened her to open her eyes quickly, and reluctantly lifted the spirit that gradually flowed away like water, and continued to hurry.
It's just that even the eyelids have become heavy......
Suddenly, another feeling of discomfort came from behind, and Lin Xinyin looked back in surprise, and caught the sneaky figure swaying in the corner of the back street.
…… Are these bandits hyenas in the savannah? Do you want to follow her until she falls, so that you can rush up and tear herself to shreds? Lin Xinyin's heart suddenly chilled: she had never seen such vicious gangsters, should she have killed them all just now?
Isn't she too soft-hearted? But......
The street under her feet became so empty and long, and the more Lin Xinyin walked, the more she felt that the fear in her heart was growing unscrupulously, and it gradually suppressed the previous silence, making her body tremble.
She really began to feel scared, because her reason had determined that she was unable to win the next battle, and at this moment she realized how thrilling a person's journey was, and how much she wished that Ling Yueyuan was still by her side, so as to give her a little courage and confidence, but where was he......
"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan." A low murmur floated out of Lin Xinyin's pale lips, carrying her helplessness and anticipation with the wind.
But can Ling Yueyuan hear her call......?
……
After walking for a while, in Lin Xinyin's blurred vision, a figure appeared steadily in front of her, seemingly a woman.
Finally seeing people? She relieved her sorrow and moved as fast as she could, approaching the figure in front of her. Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, she thought about asking Ling Yueyuan's whereabouts one more time, and if there was no news, she would ask the man to help her get on the horse, in short, get out of this dangerous situation first.
……
