Chapter 30: Night Attack
Ah Zi stood in the study, staring at the statue of the Sacred Heart Niang hanging on the wall, with tears still on her face, but her expression was much calmer than before.
Ah Zi has felt that the portrait of this Sacred Heart Niangniang is a little strange since he was a child, compared to the statues of those Niangniang enshrined in the temple with a look of great love and boundless love for all beings, this portrait is less of a god of loftiness: the woman in the portrait is wearing a scarlet cloak, standing in the snow, the difference is that the woman's eyes are no longer looking into the distance, but staring at the people outside the painting, her eyebrows and eyes are smiling into the shape of a crescent moon, and her hands are gently stroking a snow-white beast.
The girl in the painting looks so carefree that people just take a short look at it, and they seem to be infected by her, and their mood is relaxed.
Ah Zi once asked the master if the portrait of the Sacred Heart Niangniang was painted by the master's father, and whether the woman on it was acquainted with the master, and the master just smiled at the time and did not answer.
Looking at this portrait now, I feel that the person on the painting is somewhat familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it.
Ah Zi was staring at Niangniang's eyebrows.
Syllable!
A feather arrow hit the center of the mother's eyebrows!
Ah Zi was so frightened that she took two steps back, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the arrow came from, but only saw darkness outside the window.
I'm in the dark and the enemy is in the dark, and I'm afraid that I'm already a target.
Thinking of this, Ah Zi quickly squatted down, and heard a swish above her head, and another feather arrow grazed above her.
If she hadn't dodged in time, this second arrow would have pierced her throat!
What's going on?
Ah Zi was already sweating at this time, hiding under the desk, trembling, not daring to move.
Master...... Hui Niang...... Will they be in danger?
Thinking of this, Ah Zi didn't care about the danger outside the window, and rushed to the door half-squatting.
There was a thud, and the door slammed open, and a figure fell sideways to the threshold.
Ah Zi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Hui Niang!
She rushed over, helped Hui Niang hard, and screamed because of shock: "Hui Niang...... Hui Niang...... What happened to you? ”
Without waiting for Hui Niang to answer, Ah Zi touched Hui Niang's chest with one hand, only to feel a pool of sticky liquid flowing down Hui Niang's clothes to Ah Zi's hand, Ah Zi withdrew his hand, and saw that his palm was full of blood.
"Hui Niang!" Ah Zi shouted, gently lifting Hui Niang's body with her hands, and said, "Show me where you hurt, and I'll help you stop the bleeding." ”
Hui Niang forced her eyes open, shook her head weakly and said, "Don't ...... Leave me alone, you can go quickly......"
Ah Zi shook her head, her vision was already blurred by tears, she pressed Hui Niang's chest with her hand indiscriminately, and choked up: "No! No! I am a healer, and I can save you! You let me see your wounds......"
Halfway through the words, Ah Zi thought of the demon blood flowing in her body, she gently put down Hui Niang, rolled up her sleeves, and bit down on her arm, two rows of neat tooth marks appeared on her white and tender skin, but there was no blood.
She was about to bite down again when she heard a roar behind her, which made her shiver and turn her head to look over.
I saw an arm-long knife slashing straight at the top of Ah Zi's head.
The blade shimmered in the light like a meteor piercing the night sky.
Ah Zi stared at the blade, feeling that he would not survive the next moment.
She heard a click, and a snow-like silver sword stood between her and the knife.
Ah Zi turned his head and saw Liu Siqi standing there with a sword in one hand.
"Master!"
Ah Zi shouted.
Liu Siqi turned around and held the sword with both hands instead, and began to compete with the knife that was full of bowl width.
The blade collided head-on with the blade, making a piercing grinding sound.
Ah Zi had a chance to see the appearance of the man with the knife: the man had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face was hideous, and his night clothes could not hide his strong body like a mountain.
is so hard-hitting, I'm afraid that the master is not the opponent of the comer.
Ah Zi was thinking about it, Liu Siqi had already slightly changed the direction of his wrist, twisted the direction of the opposite blade, and then slammed back the silver long sword.
The strong man, who had been pressed down with all his strength, suddenly lost his support at this moment, and a knife rushed straight forward, half of the blade was inserted into the wooden wall next to the door.
The man with the knife lifted one foot to the wooden wall for support and began to pull the knife out with all his might.
Liu Siqi naturally wouldn't give him a chance to fight back, and quickly killed the man's back like an arrow from the string, stabbing down on the man's broad back without a trace of hesitation.
Ah Zi sat there and watched the blood gush out from where Liu Siqi's sword blade had been drawn.
The strong man screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Without waiting for Ah Zi to react, he only heard a "whoosh", and another feathered arrow shot from the darkness towards Liu Siqi's back.
Ah Zi opened his mouth and just wanted to shout, but Liu Siqi had already turned around slightly, just dodging the feather arrow, and the arrow flew by, bringing a gust of breeze and picking up the black hair of Liu Siqi's sideburns.
Determining the direction in which the bow and arrow were fired, Liu Siqi bent down and quickly rushed into the darkness.
Ah Zi looked in the direction where Liu Siqi disappeared, only to find that there were already four or five people in black lying not far away, and they all seemed to be out of breath.
Ah Zi gasped and tried to calm himself down.
At this time, a hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and grabbed Ah Zi's wrist tightly, Ah Zi just wanted to scream, but when he looked up, he saw Liu Siqi's bright eyes.
"Let's go."
Liu Siqi said, his tone sounding unusually gentle, not at all like it came from the body of a few strong men who had just killed a few strong men.
Ah Zi came back to her senses at this time, shook her head and shook off Liu Siqi's hand, and muttered while pressing Hui Niang's wound: "No, I want to save Hui Niang." ”
With that, she looked down at the person lying quietly in her arms.
Hui Niang's eyes were closed, her face was pale, and she was lying there limply, the blood bubbling out of her chest was decreasing little by little, and her body temperature was slowly disappearing.
"Hui Niang, she's dead!"
Liu Siqi said loudly, as if he was afraid that Ah Zi would not hear his words.
Ah Zi turned his head to look at Liu Siqi, his eyes glazed.
She studied medicine with Liu Siqi for seven years, and of course she could see at a glance the life and death of the person lying in her arms.
But at the moment, she would rather not see it!
"No...... No...... I have witch blood...... I can save her, I can ......"
Ah Zi said, stretched out his arm again, and wanted to bite down, but Liu Siqi grabbed his wrist and lifted it up.
"What do you do! What did you promise me before? You said you would not use your own blood again, have you forgotten? ”
Liu Siqi glared at Ah Zi angrily, his strength was so great, his fingers clasped Ah Zi's wrist, and traces of bruises had already begun to appear.
Ah Zi moved his wrist, trying to break free from his restraints, but found that it was only in vain.
"But she's Hui Niang. You let me give it a try, maybe ......"
"No, we don't have time left, we have to send you away now. If you fall into their hands, it will be too late. ”
Liu Siqi said and dragged Ah Zi out.
Ah Zi was reluctant to leave Hui Niang's side, trying to hold on to her body and wanting to stay where she was, but she felt as if there was an invisible force supporting her and forcing her to move forward.
