Chapter 120: Blocked
Zhu Curtain judges that a person's good or bad is who is good to her is a good person, and whoever treats her badly is a bad person, Feng Xiaoxiao used to think so, but after experiencing many things, Shen Xingchen is more willing to believe in his heart than relying on his own eyes alone. But often the things that the eyes see are one-sided, and the real thoughts of people in the depths of the situation may not be understood even if they are themselves.
All kinds of details show that this Orion is fake, there is no doubt about it, his appearance is also deliberate, and it is also intentional to retreat as advance, he deliberately approached what he wanted to do, Shen Xingchen originally thought that he would see it after arriving at the destination, but obviously he didn't do it, it wasn't that he didn't want to do it, but he was really waiting for a suitable time, but it was certain that he had no intention of taking her life.
Shen Xingchen was really a little tired after worrying about running around and working all the way, she closed her eyes to rest, but she still didn't dare to let go of her guard, her eyes were open and closed, and she didn't see the person make any moves when it was about to dawn, and finally she couldn't resist the heavy sleep.
Shen Xingchen was woken up by the bead curtain.
"Xingchen, wake up, Brother Orion's freshly baked rabbit head in the morning is delicious. ”
Shen Xingchen opened her eyes, the dazzling light made her have to close her eyes, she stretched out her hand to block the sunlight from the window, and moved her eyelids to see the bead curtain holding a rabbit leg in one hand: "Oh, I deliberately left a fat and big front leg for you." ”
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that Brother Orion's craftsmanship is really good, it tastes very good, you can also taste it, eldest son. ”
The corners of her mouth were glued with red and black fines, obviously she had already eaten it, and Uncle Ma was also helping on the side, and in one night, the fake hunter had completely collected the bead curtain and the horseman, two true hearts that I didn't know. Orion's blue clothes were dripping with rain, and there were shallow water stains on him, whether it was the groom's praise or her scrutinizing gaze, he didn't care about leaning against the wall of the door, no sorrow or joy, and he couldn't see his true expression.
Zhu Curtain always unconditionally trusts anyone who is kind to her, but this is not necessarily a good thing. Shen Xingchen frowned, stretched out his hand to push her hand away, and was weak: "I don't eat greasy things in the morning." ”
"You really don't eat it?"
Waiting for Shen Xingchen to nod, her eyes lit up briskly: "If you don't eat it, then I'll eat it." ”
Shen Xingchen was dumbfounded, and waved his hand helplessly: "Eat, eat." "Anyway, I've already eaten it, if people really wanted to release the poison, you would have been tricked a long time ago, Shen Xingchen is about to break the jar for this kind of brainless behavior of the bead curtain.
The bead curtain feasted on the fat rabbit legs, while Shen Xingchen took out the dry food from the package and choked a few mouthfuls and poured a few mouthfuls of water. After solving the problem of food and clothing, Shen Xingchen said goodbye to Orion.
Orion's dark face still had no expression, as if he was not at ease about their whereabouts, Shen Xingchen did not relax because of this, after the carriage set off, he still paid attention to the surrounding movements, but except for the wet and sticky sound of the wheels of the carriage running over the dirt on the wet ground, there was no sign of anyone following him.
Orion's true identity is a mystery, behavior is a mystery, Shen Xingchen can't figure it out, Zhu Curtain saw her sitting in a pensive manner, and guessed what Shen Xingchen was still suspecting: "Xingchen, are you thinking too much, Uncle Orion If it's really a bad guy who wants to do something to the three of us, he would have done it last night." The look on Zhu Curtain changed, and he immediately sighed: "Alas, this time we are separated, and I don't know when the next time we will meet." ”
Shen Xingchen: "......"
The bead curtain grinned: "
Well, well, it's really baking too good. ”
Shen Xingchen was worried, although the time she fell asleep was not long, it was enough for too many things to happen that she could not predict, so that after saying goodbye, Orion had no interest in following them.
Sigh......
The groom let out a long snort, and the horse snorted, and turned his head to glare at the groom impatiently, as if complaining that he had suddenly pulled the reins hard. Because of the slippery road in the rain, the carriage did not go too fast, but because the movement of the horse was abrupt and rapid, the carriage still had a small bump, like a wave suddenly blowing on the calm sea, although it was fatal, but a loud noise could still make people's hearts palpitate.
This is a mountain road that stretches and seems to have no end, and Orion said that it is deserted for more than ten miles, and it is not a good place for bandits and bandits to entrench themselves. Shen Xingchen felt that it was not good for no reason, and he thought of the fake Orion again for no reason.
The bead curtain was separated by the curtain, and his voice trembled and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Ma, why did you stop suddenly." ”
Six young, sturdy men stood in a row to block their path, dressed the same and looked the same, even the sticks in their hands.
Uncle Ma is a perennial driver of the carriage, although he is honest and honest, but he still has a little bit of eyesight to look at people, and he probably guessed that they are not unreasonable hooligans who want people's lives, and he still said with a smile: "A few little brothers, please let me go." ”
The young man did not pay attention, and tacitly cut the stick in his hand in front of him, blocking the road where there was still a gap, and his actions showed that everything was bound not to let them pass. Uncle Ma's thick dark eyebrows twisted, looked at them in embarrassment, and responded to the question of the bead curtain just now.
"Childe, the group has blocked our way. ”
The bead curtain's body trembled like chaff, and his eyes fell on Shen Xingchen as if asking for help. In fact, there is no need for the groom to say, Shen Xingchen had already taken advantage of the swaying curtain to see the scene outside just now.
The men were all unfamiliar faces, but Shen Xingchen could see through their true identities from the clothes on their bodies at a glance. Hehe...... The Yun family is still there, it's really a big deal, they all escaped from the city, and the Yun family also chased after them, and they also crossed in front to intercept them. Shen Xingchen really couldn't think of the reason why the Yun family was so desperately chasing, an inconspicuous bead curtain, and a third young grandmother with no name?
The man was young enough, strong enough to deal with two weak women and an empty groom. But all this will not be equal to Shen Xingchen, who knows martial arts, they have no strength and no chance of winning.
Shen Xingchen laughed: "Uncle Ma, let's go over." ”
Uncle Ma understood Shen Xingchen's subtext, and looked at the six people who were still in an offensive posture in the defense, although he hesitated, he still held the whip rope in his palm trembling.
A sharp chirp pierced the sky, followed by a muffled thud on the wall of the carriage.
The groom felt a swift black shadow pass over his head, and as he watched his scalp brush with a chill of refreshment, he slowly turned his neck, feeling every knuckle rattle.
The pitch-black and shiny rope hung in mid-air, refracted by the sunlight, and the tip as thin as a little finger was pierced by a feathered arrow and nailed to the carriage.
Mafu suddenly felt a cold sweat, and if he deviated any further, the arrow would pierce his head.
"I advise you, it's better not to move. ”
The man's voice was very calm, and his words were not threatening, but like advice from the depths of his heart.
As soon as Shen Xingchen heard this somewhat familiar voice, he knew it in his heart! It was not that he was not interested in following him, but that he felt that there was no need for it. Shen Xingchen opened the curtain and was not surprised to see the face that had been separated not long ago. Orion took his bow, straddled it over his right shoulder, and paced out of the half-man-high grass around him, and the six men collected their weapons, and automatically stood on either side of them in threes, so that he could stand in the middle.
"Brother Orion, it's you, what's going on?" the groom was full of surprise, his eyes unconsciously looked at the bow and arrow on his shoulder, no matter how dull he was, he should have thought that the person who shot the arrow at him just now was him: "Who are you? Why do you do this?"
Shen Xingchen now wants to know the latter question, Orion's face remains unchanged, and the two thick lips of his expression are pursed into a straight line, as if this question is particularly difficult to answer, the people behind him are just listening to his orders, and of course they won't open their mouths when they see him if they don't speak.
Shen Xingchen's eyes were sharp to explore Orion, a shadow above her head, and the whip rope nailed to the carriage by feather arrows split her vision in two, but this did not affect Shen Xingchen's observation. Orion doesn't have martial arts, at most four or five moves to defend himself, but he has more advantages, such as strong enough strength, accurate eyesight, and if the arrow in his hand wants to hit the groom's nose, it will never hit his eyes. So from the beginning, he didn't intend to take the lives of the three of them, just to stumble on their feet and prevent them from leaving. If it weren't for the rain last night, Shen Xingchen guessed that he and the bead curtain would have been packed up by them overnight last night and returned the same way, and they would have returned to the Yun family's territory at this moment.
Although there are many places, they don't know martial arts, the only thing that Wang Shen Xingchen is taboo in his heart is the arrow in Orion's hand, Shen Xingchen is observing and secretly thinking in his heart, where to attack can control the enemy with one hand, or shoot down his weapon, or hurt him so that he can't use the weapon. Shen Xingchen's palm moved slightly, and he quietly touched the dagger hidden in his waist.
Feathered arrows have the advantage of long-range shootdowns, but daggers are more suitable for surprise melee strikes. Shen Xingchen got up and got out of the carriage under the shocked gaze of the bead curtain.
"Stop. "Orion sets up his bow,
His eyes looked straight and cold at Shen Xingchen, and with a flip of his right hand, he had already pulled out an arrow and put it on the string.
The polished smooth and sharp arrow flashed with cold light in the sun, Shen Xingchen looked at the feather arrow on her head, and smiled disapprovingly: "I don't know why you have to stop me, but let me tell you, no matter how you stop this road today, we will all pass." ”
Shen Xingchen slowly approached as he spoke, Orion's hand on the bowstring became more and more forceful, the straight bowstring was pulled out by his fingers into a shape that was about to be full moon, as long as his fingers were slightly relaxed, the feather arrow would definitely be like the feather arrow that shot through the whip rope, but it would hit Shen Xingchen's head.
