It was getting dark, and Xiangning, who had been locked up all day, was almost desperate at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The door that was still locked, I don't know how many times she had hit it, but it still didn't move. He was hit in multiple places on his body, and the wounds were bleeding outward.

Occasionally, there was a loud noise from the front yard, and from time to time there was the sound of firecrackers bursting into the sky, as if some kind of banquet was being held.

She struggled to her feet, jumped on her bound feet, and slammed into the door again, only to be bounced back again.

Xiangning, who was half-lying on the ground, finally shed tears helplessly.

"Brother, where are you......"

She thought about the only person she could rely on, and she thought more about seeing her brother again.

The sound of a soo came from outside the door, and after a while, there was a clanging sound from outside the door, and it was someone unlocking the door.

Xiangning's heart froze, and all her hopes vanished when she heard the sound of iron tools colliding.

She could only close her eyes and wait, the unknown fate coming.

"Xiangning." The familiar breath approached her, and she opened her eyes as soon as she heard the voice, just in time to see her brother's face, who was nervously untying the rope from his ankle.

"Brother?" She looked back, a glimmer of hope in her godless eyes.

"Shh......h Don't talk, let's go while there's no one now. With a solemn face, he pulled incense out of the courtyard, and the two servants at the back door were knocked unconscious by him.

Because most of the people went to the front yard, it was so easy for him to come in through the back door.

As soon as he left the gate of the house, a figure suddenly bumped into him.

The two flashed to the side nervously, and Xiang Ning looked up to see that the person in front of her was the bully who caught her during the day, and he was still staring at them drunkenly at the moment.

"You...... You little girl, the old paper hasn't been here yet, you want to run? ā€

The man looked at the prey he had caught during the day and was angry.

Leng Xiangfan saw that the momentum was not good, so he hurriedly pulled his sister and ran in the opposite direction.

It was already dark, and the moon that had just risen seemed to be as dark and deep as if it hadn't woken up, and their figures gradually melted into the boundless darkness.

Sai Gong saw that the meat that had finally reached his mouth actually flew, and the smell of alcohol was suddenly wiped out.

In a fit of rage, he called a group of servants and whistled away in the direction of the siblings' escape.

Xiangning followed her brother breathlessly, and her hand was pulled by him so painfully.

She had fallen countless times along the way, and she had no strength at the moment.

"Brother, take a break, Xiangning can't run." She pleaded behind her.

Leng Xiangfan stopped, there was a desert not far in front of him, and they had been running for an hour.

"Hold on a little longer! Hurry up, those people are not dead yet. He looked behind him, and could faintly see some light that was clearly extinguished, the light of a torch in someone's hand.

"But...... I'm so tired......" She held her leg and blinked her eyes in pain, tears as if they were about to fall again.

Through the dim moonlight, Leng Xiangfan realized that Xiangning's legs were covered with blood, and he must have broken his knees during the run just now.

He tore off the corners of his clothes, squatted down and bandaged her simply.

"I'll carry you away, hurry up." He turned around and squatted down, and said eagerly to Xiangning.

Xiangning obediently climbed on his back and was carried by him all the way to trot.

She looked back at the approaching firelight behind her, and she was silent, quietly shedding tears.

They ran into the dry desert, and the moon seemed to brighten a lot.

And those fires are gradually gathering brightly.

The Sai Gong sat leisurely on his horse, behind him a group of servants with torches and crossbows, all with the smile of a victor on their faces.

The road ahead has been cut off by the merciless desert, and the brother and sister at this time have already been surrounded by them.

"Keep running, I'd like to see if your legs are faster than my horses......" The fat man smirked of wine and smiled proudly.

"Sister, she is still young, and she accidentally offended an adult, why should adults be forced to force each other?" Leng Xiangfan put Xiangning down gently, this was the only time in his life that he spoke to others in a low voice.

"Since she dares to offend me, she will have to pay the corresponding price." Sai Gong spat and said cruelly.

"What the hell do I have to do to let my sister go!"

"Simple, you give me that little girl, and let her go when I get tired of playing." The man said with a disgusting smile.

"What if I say no......" He clenched his fists, his hands shaking intentionally or unconsciously.

"Then Lao Tzu will cut you first, and then take her away. How cost-effective, you choose? Sai Gong said with a smile, and a cadre of servants behind him also laughed.

"I won't give the incense to you, and I won't die." He hid the incense behind him and said in a deep voice.

"Damn, you're looking for death! Give the old paper a hand, catch someone, and go back with a reward! The Communists shouted loudly to the servants around them.

As soon as the servants heard that there was a reward, they immediately became active, and without saying a word, they raised their weapons and aimed them at the brother and sister.

"Brother....." Xiang Ning trembled and pulled Leng Xiangfan's sleeve, looking at the menacing people, fear crawling all over the watery eyes.

"Xiangning is not afraid, with me, it will be fine." He took Xiang Ning's cold hand, grabbed it in his hand, and comforted him softly.

Those servants rushed up indifferently, and reached out to pull the incense condensation behind Leng Xiangfan, but they were all dodged one by one.

Seeing that the servants were always unsuccessful, Sai Gong, who was watching the show on the side, was annoyed and ashamed, and suddenly became murderous, and he drove the servants on the side to directly release dark arrows at the pair of young brothers and sisters.

The boy scuffled with the servants who had rushed up, unaware of the fact that a sharp arrow pierced the night sky and roared.

"Brother... Brother ......" a faint call pulled his embarrassed mind.

When he reacted, what he looked back at was Xiangning's shaky figure.

"Xiangning!" He hurried over and held the little man to his feet.

I saw that her chest was pierced by sharp arrows, and on the silver arrows on her back, there were red blood beads, which were falling drop by drop in the soft sand.

"Brother..... Isn't it ...... Going to die? ā€

Xiang Ning leaned weakly on her brother's chest, looked up at her brother's face, and showed a non-knowing expression.

"No, no, how could you die..... I'll take you home right now to heal. The young man's deep voice tried his best to hide the fear and uneasiness.

He only cared about holding Xiangning by the waist, but the blood on her back flowed faster, making his palms slippery.

"Brother...... The moon tonight is so beautiful..... "Xiang Ning leaned her head on his shoulder and said softly, ignoring her brother's flustered expression.

Hearing Xiang Ning's words, he unconsciously looked up.

A crescent moon floated in the night sky, soft as if it was about to pour down, beautiful, almost cruel.

"Yes, it's beautiful." He replied.

Ignoring the group of servants who stood in his way, he walked straight into the desert with the little man in his arms.

Sai Gong was a little annoyed, he punched and kicked the servant who had just released the arrow, he was going to kill the stinky boy, but the servant would have been wrong.

Seeing that his prey was gone, that the wine was almost sober, and that he had killed people, he suddenly lost any interest, and immediately called back his servants and walked away.

No matter what the original purpose was, I forgot who I wanted to live or who I wanted to die.

"Brother..... Even if Xiangning is no longer by her brother's side, remember to smile...... Because, when my brother laughs, it's really... It's beautiful......"

She raised her blood-stained little hands and held his incomparably pale face, her smart eyes full of reluctant smiles.

He felt the coldness that stayed on his face, and still didn't know what to say, but he just looked at her with a blank look, watching her smile and become obsessed, until the coolness slipped off his face, he was also sneering and didn't react.

He just sat in the vast desert with Xiangning in his arms. The girl closed her eyes and smiled, looking as if she was in a beautiful dream, sleeping so soundly.

That moon was brighter, shining brightly in the desert.

The moonlight shone on the ragged boy, reflecting his weeping appearance so clearly.

The thin shadow of the boy was stretched by the moonlight, so long, so lonely.
