Chapter 4 Apologies to the Caterpillar
The General's Mansion is not very large, and Nan Xun followed for a while before he arrived in front of a side room. Although the house is simple, the front of the door is extremely clean and dusty.
Yahuan helped the general push the door, and the others followed into the house in turn.
There are all kinds of weapons in the room, and Nan Kaoru knows in her heart that this should be the general's weapons room.
I saw that the general didn't look at other weapons, and walked straight to a broken sword in the center, stretched out his hand to pick it up, and said: "This sword hilt is engraved with the word 'Chengying', the girl can come and see if it is the legendary Chengying sword." ”
Nan Xun took two steps forward, and saw that the sword in the general's hand did not have a scabbard, and the end of the sword was broken, as if it had been broken, she did not touch the sword directly, but asked, "Where did the general get this sword?" ”
"Hey, fortunately," said the general, "three years ago, I went to Hexi and fought against that old stone, and that old man played a trick and threw a huge stone out of nowhere, almost killing me, but fortunately, this sword fell from the sky and pushed the falling stone away, and I was able to save my life." ”
"I guess the general wants to know who owns this sword?"
"Exactly!" The general said, "At that time, within a radius of 100 meters, were all the guards under my command, but no one could find out about this person, it seems that this person must be a strange person, all these years, I have been trying to find this person, I want to thank him, by the way to see if I can be summoned under the tent." ”
"The general really loves his life." Nan Kaoru praised and said, "Then I'll try." ”
"Please!" The general didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed the sword in his hand to Nan Xun.
Nan Xun stretched out her hand to take the broken sword, but she didn't want the broken sword to be extremely heavy, she couldn't hold it, and saw that the broken sword was about to fall off her hand.
"Sister, be careful!"
With Shuang'er's words, the general stretched out his hand to catch the broken sword and said, "Look at me, it's really abrupt, a girl and a woman, naturally can't hold such a sword, come, please come to the table and take a look." ”
After speaking, the general came to the table with his sword, put the sword on the table, and several people gathered around the table and sat down as the guest of honor.
Nan Xun stretched out his hand and stroked the sword body, and scenes flashed in his mind.
After half an hour, Nan Xun's face became pale and sweaty.
When she opened her eyes, Shuang'er asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
Ahem, Nan Xun coughed a few times, but still hasn't spoken. Shuang'er said to the maid ring beside her: "Go get a few cups of tea and relieve my sister's cough." ”
Yahuan turned and left.
Nan Xun said: "Thank you, madam, I'm just a little tired, and my body is weak, that's why I'm like this, I smiled." ”
"Do you want to ask Lang Zhong in the house to show my sister?" Frost said.
"No need, I'll just go back and rest for a while, let's talk about this broken sword."
"Can the girl tell who owns this sword!?" The general asked, and it was this question that he was most concerned about right now.
However, disappointed him, Nan Xun said: "I didn't see that there was very little agility on this sword, no matter how hard I tried, it was difficult to see a single star, I could only see that this sword flew out from behind the general at that time, and before that, I couldn't see it at all." ”
"At that time, it flew out from behind me," the general thought and said, "The military advisor thought that Shi Lao'er was afraid that the stone would not kill me, and he made a flying sword to take my life, but I didn't expect that this broken sword saved my life." ”
"The little woman is incompetent, and she has disappointed the general." Seeing that the general attached so much importance to this sword, Nan Xun felt a little embarrassed, so he could only open his mouth to apologize.
"It's okay, it's a big deal to look for a few more years!" The general can see it.
"The little woman took her leave first." Kaoru Nam spoke, she needed to rest urgently.
The general saw that Nan Xun's expression was not very good, and he didn't keep it, so he asked Yahuan to send Nan Xun out of the house.
Walking out of the gate of the General's Mansion, Nan Xun's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, her hands and feet trembled involuntarily, she gasped for breath, and slowly walked back to the pawnshop.
The day of June was a very hot time, but Nan Xun felt cold all over the body, although the peony flowers in the city were red and the willows were green, she didn't have any mood to appreciate it at this time, she needed to go back to the store quickly and take a good rest.
There were a lot of people on the streets, jugglers, snack sellers, and some merchants, shouting one after another.
Nan Kaoru carefully shuttled through the crowd, and in his current state, he estimated that if he was hit casually, he would fall to the ground.
Fortunately, after walking for more than half an hour, there were no accidents, and after crossing this street, it was a word of the Nan family.
At this time, Nan Xun passed by under a willow tree, and suddenly felt something fall on the back of her hand, she thought it was just a leaf, but when she looked down, it was a caterpillar.
She was so shocked that she hurriedly waved her hand to throw the caterpillar away.
But accidentally, the soles of my feet slipped, and I was about to fall.
At this time, a voice sounded in Nan Xun's ears: "Girl, be careful!" ”
Immediately after, she felt a pair of powerful arms wrap around her waist, stopping her fall.
Nan Kaoru calmed down, and found that a handsome face appeared in front of her, and just by looking at the general appearance, she felt that she was deep in the deep eyes of the man.
When she lost her mind, she suddenly felt a pull on her waist and arm, pulling Nan Kaoru up.
Now that she finally stood up, she also came back to her senses, her face was slightly red, and she thanked her: "Thank you, Childe!" ”
"Caterpillars are alive too." The boy didn't respond to Nan Xun, but said this lightly, and didn't seem to care about Nan Xun's thanks.
She looked up and saw Childe holding an open folding fan in his right hand, on which a turquoise insect was crawling around in a panic.
Nan Xun was embarrassed for a while, she was afraid of this caterpillar since she was a child, and she was in a hurry just now, and she lost her manners, and it was inevitable that others would laugh at her, but it seemed that this son didn't care about thank you or not, so she had to say: "The little girl said goodbye first." ”
"Wait." Childe seems to have finally realized Nan Kaoru's existence and opened his mouth to speak.
"What do you command?"
"You're just leaving?"
Nan Xun was speechless in his heart, what do you mean to just leave, do you want to do anything else, it won't be that you plan to take the opportunity to blackmail, it's not like ah, this boy is dressed in a green shirt, wearing a ring around his waist, holding a folding fan in his hand, a scholarly anger arises spontaneously, such a person should not extort money.
Unable to figure it out, she had to ask, "What if you leave?" ”
"That girl is really a rude person!?"
"Childe, don't slander others casually."
The boy didn't pay attention to Nan Xun's words, but said: "In a hurry just now, although I saved the girl, it is also a little offensive, you and I are even, naturally there is no thank you or not, it's just that the girl should apologize to this caterpillar." ”
