"Miss Tang, wake up, Miss Tang ......"
The sound in her ears gradually increased, and the scorching sun became more and more hot on her face, and just as her consciousness was about to awaken and her eyelids were about to open, she only felt a chill on her cheeks, and then water slid down her face. She opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was the bright light, and then a vague figure appeared in front of her, her lips closed one by one, calling softly to herself.
"Female ...... Woman? Tang Guxi's vision became completely clear, and Lin Luo's cheeks came into view.
I saw Lin Luo exhale lightly, her eyebrows relaxed, and when she saw that she didn't answer after she woke up, she turned her head to untie the rope tied to her. The rope was wrapped around the ship, tying her body to the hull to prevent escape. Only then did she realize that she was actually in a boat, with her hands and waist tied to the boat.
"What's going on? This...... What the hell is going on here, what is going on! Tang Guxi looked frightened, but more questioning.
"Don't ask yet, I'll tell you the details when I get back. Now hurry up and move your muscles and bones to see if there are any injuries. Lin Luo said while untying the rope, his fingers flew fast, and he didn't look back.
Tang Guxi still didn't react, she staggered to her feet by the hull of the boat, and the glowing river and grass around her made her delirious and dizzy. She stretched out her hand to hold on to the thing next to her, but the moment she turned her head, she found a man with a large knife rushing towards the boat, slashing at the forest with a fierce gaze.
Although she didn't know what the reason for this situation was, the man's knife pointed at Lin Luo, and she knew that the person who came was not good. In the critical moment, she frowned, stepped forward and raised her hand towards the man, because her mind was blank, she forgot for a moment that there was no sharp weapon in her hand to resist the other party.
Seeing that the knife was slashing at Tang Guxi's arm, suddenly a pair of hands grabbed her waist behind her back, and she was pulled back in an instant, and fell heavily on the boat. Tang Guxi opened his eyes suddenly, and found that Lin Luo had already stood up and was fighting with the man. Due to the urgency of the moment, the sword she put on the ship did not pick it up in time, but only fought against the man with her bare hands, and kept it as her advance.
At this moment, Tang Guxi was completely conscious, and the white light on the knife just now had already stabbed her eyes, she turned her head to look at the boat, her eyes touched the sword, and she immediately flew up with a kick, kicked at Lin Luo, and shouted: "Woman, take the sword!" β
Just when she was smug and thought that she had helped, she saw Lin Luo turn her head and glance at her, her eyes were slightly dull, and she didn't reach out to catch the sword, and she didn't even have the intention of reaching out. The sword flew in the air a few times before landing quickly, and with a cold sound, it slashed to the ground.
"You ......" Tang Guxi was puzzled, and after thinking about it, maybe Lin Nuxia didn't know what her sudden shout meant, so she didn't react. So she hurriedly jumped out of the boat, picked up her sword, glanced at it, and with a bite of her teeth, she rushed towards the man with her sword in hand.
"What do you do!" Lin Luo saw her coming over and shouted, caught a glimpse of the sword in her hand, frowned, reached out and grabbed the sword, then turned around and raised his feet, and kicked the man in the chest, the other party lacked stamina, and staggered a few steps. Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Luo swept the sword in her hand forward, but when the sword fell on the man's neck, she suddenly stopped.
She stood there panting, her fingers clenching at her sword, her knuckles white. His eyes were like stars, and he stared at the person in front of him carefully, and he couldn't say a word.
Tang Guxi was a few feet behind her, stunned, and gasped in her heart. She saw that Lin Luo deliberately did not take the sword, and saw her subdue the man in one fell swoop after retrieving her sword, although she didn't know why, but the scene really scared her, she really thought that Lin Nuxia was going to kill that person.
Although she has been jealous and hateful since she was a child, black and white, she has never touched a drop of anyone's blood on her hands. She knows very well that those people are bad and evil, but they will not sin to death. Moreover, even if she is punished for her crimes, it will not be her turn Tang Guxi. At this moment, an ominous thought suddenly flashed in her chest, and she couldn't help but raise her gaze to Lin Luo's body, and was silently stunned for a moment.
The man who fell to the ground was unusually calm, and the sword rested on his neck without saying a word, but the two thick lips were tightly closed, his teeth were clenched fiercely, his cheeks were bitten and trembling, and his eyes glared fiercely upwards at the man who could kill him with one hand, motionless.
Tang Guxi secretly admired, such a person can not be sad or happy in the face of life and death, but he is also a thief with courage!
At this moment, Lin Luo suddenly flew sideways and kicked the man's neck, only to see his eyes closed, his body fell to one side, and he fell to the ground with a "bang" without saying a word.
"This ......" Tang Guxi was shocked, and hurriedly ran over to stare at the person on the ground, only to see that his face was sweaty and muddy, and he looked up at the forest, and said in a slightly frightened manner, "He...... He's dead? β
Lin Luo exhaled lightly, raised his arm, and the sword fell into its sheath, "I'm not dead, I've fainted." β
Tang Guxi nodded indifferently, raised her head and glanced around, only then did she really see the surrounding situation clearly, at this time it was already sunset, the special smell of the river being steamed by the scorching sun was floating in the air, and under her feet was a river beach, and the boat she was there just now was moored at the junction of the waterfront. The ground was a mess, with lots of firewood and strips of cloth thrown in twos and threes, and the remnants of a bonfire not far away.
After seeing everything clearly, she looked at Lin Luo, faintly uneasy in her heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Now you can say it, why are we here?" β
"The worst has happened to us." Lin Luo said lightly, glancing at her, as if he didn't want to answer more.
Tang Guxi had already guessed something, but he didn't dare to make up his mind, and now when he heard Lin Luo's words, he immediately confirmed his guess in his heart. "We met bandits? I...... I was brought here by them? β
Lin Luo raised his eyes again and landed on her, but only glanced at them lightly, as light as a dragonfly in water, and then turned his head away, and replaced his answer with silence.
"It's really ......" Tang Guxi's eyes flickered, she didn't want to accept this fact, she wasn't afraid, after all, she didn't know everything that had happened before. But in this way, wouldn't it make them look down on her even more? At first, he insisted on coming despite their opposition, and swore that he would not cause trouble for others. And in the end, within a day, she caused them to suffer because of her.
But how did she get here? She remembered that she was on the ship, and that she had no memory of what had happened next. Just as she looked puzzled and wanted to ask, she saw Lin Luo walking towards her, and after standing in front of her, she said, "You go back along that road, and when you get to the shore, you will go north along the road, and you will meet Liu Wugang and them." β
"You're not leaving?" Tang Guxi asked in surprise, raising his voice, "Where are you going?" β
"You don't need to ask, just go." After Lin Luo finished speaking, he turned around and left, his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and his expression was in a hurry.
"No! What if there are bandits over there? Tang Guxi caught up and stopped her, "The matter started because of me, and the blame is all on me, so I must know your safety!" β
Lin Luo looked at her quietly and said, "Lin Xun is still over there, I don't know life and death, I want to go over and save him." β
"Then I'll go too! Anyway...... One more person is better than one less, and if something happens to two people together, they can still discuss, in short...... I can't just go back alone! I don't want to go! She didn't even want to shout loudly, she looked straight at the forest stubbornly, and her tone was unobtrusive and firm.
Lin Luo looked at her, and suddenly the corners of his eyebrows relaxed, as if he had an extra layer of smile, and nodded: "Since Miss Tang wants to go, then come with me." With that, the smile disappeared in an instant, and he turned into a serious expression, looking somewhere in the distance, "Where they went." β
After the two left the shore, they kept walking in the direction where Lin Xun disappeared. Along the way, Lin Luo was worried and silent, while Tang Guxi chattered non-stop, and finally asked everything that happened last night so far, and couldn't help but sigh, and he was even more grateful to Lin Luo and Lin Xun.
"You saved my life! I must remember this affection, after all, I Tang Guxi is not a merciless person, and I still remember the great kindness in my heart! Lin Nuxia, if something happens to you and Lin Shaoxia in the future......" She suddenly stopped, realizing that she had just said indecently, so she hurriedly smiled dryly, "I mean, if, if...... Of course, your skills are so good and your martial arts are so high, naturally it will not be my turn to save you......"
"Miss's martial arts are not bad, why bother to be presumptuous?"
Lin Luo was speechless for a long time, but at this moment, he suddenly replied, which surprised and moved Tang Guxi. On this journey, she knew that Lin Nuxia was restless and worried, and she couldn't help herself, so she could only say some nonsense to liven up the atmosphere. I didn't expect the heroine to take care of herself, but I suddenly heard her question and became excited for a while.
"Let's put it this way, before I met you and Lin Shaoxia, I always felt that my martial arts were okay, at least in this Linqing City, there are few people who can compare. But it wasn't until you and Lin Shaoxia appeared in the ring two days ago that I completely understood how short-sighted I used to be! It's like sitting in a well and watching the sky! β
The corners of Lin Luo's mouth tugged slightly, but his pace still did not slow down, and he asked again: "I don't know who did Miss's martial arts learn from?" β
"Follow my master!"
Lin Luo turned his head to look at her, stunned for a moment.
"Uh...... I mean, my master is Mr. Zou Li......" Tang Guxi said embarrassedly, and continued in a different tone, "When my master was young, he was the most famous chivalrous man in our Linqing Dynasty, and his martial arts were unbeatable!" Of course, you don't understand that, after all, you've only been here for a short time......"
"Oh?" Lin Luo glanced at her lightly and remained silent, "How did Miss know that we had only been here for a short time?" β
Tang Guxi was choked again, and after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but smile, scratched the top of his head and said, "Looking at the heroine's demeanor that day, it's hard for me to just want to know...... Wouldn't it be okay to ask Yuming to go out and inquire? You don't know anything, but any extraordinary man like you in the city will know it if you inquire about it. β
Speaking of this, Lin Luo suddenly stopped. Tang Guxi didn't know what was going on, so he also stopped and looked at Lin Luo in puzzlement.
"You...... What did you hear? Lin Luo's gaze was directed at her, and his expression instantly became different, just like the two of them just now.
