Looking down, a long sword glittering with cold light sank more than an inch into his chest; The pain spreads to the whole body; In an instant, cold sweat swept through his body, and the pain and fear made his face twist slightly.

So far, he hasn't figured out what happened at that moment just now, why the situation has become the way it is now, obviously he was still winning just now, and the beautiful life in the rivers and lakes beckoned to him in the future, why it was just a moment, and it became the fear of death now.

The boundless fear gripped him tightly, making him not dare to move, not even to retreat, and draw the long sword that had infiltrated his body.

Qingxue had no intention of killing him, her wrist retracted, and the long sword pulled a beautiful sword flower in her hand, and put it back into its sheath.

The woodcutter took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground, looking at Qingxue with an incredible look in his eyes, as if looking at a monster again, "You, how is it possible, how is it possible"

Qingxue restrained her smile, and her voice was cold, "Look, now is the reaction after being injured, you also don't have a long memory, didn't my friend just remind you?" Did you know first? Remember this taste, and I'll do it like this in the future."

The woodcutter's eyes were a little glazed, and he was still muttering "How is it possible, how can you know"

Qingxue mistakenly thought that he was talking about seeing through him, and explained, "We have been walking in the forest and mountains for a long time, and the woodcutters have met a lot, they have always been good at walking mountain roads, how could they sprain their feet, and it is so coincidental that when we pass by, it is difficult to make people not suspicious."

Moreover, even if you sprain your foot. Ordinary mountain people will take some emergency measures to save themselves, how can they just lie on the road, waiting for someone to call for help that may not pass by for a day?

I've said it before. I believe you should know that I understand medical skills, the so-called medical skills: looking, smelling, asking, chel, I may not be able to see what kind of disease this person is, but I can still see whether there is any illness or not. ”

Yijian also continued, "Moreover, you were too eager to do so just now. People's subtle expressions will betray themselves, and you, without a good way to hide it. Maybe you may think that it doesn't matter, you still have a back move to make you more confident, but the back move is only the best when you can't use it."

Qingxue nodded, "With people like you." Since you have murderous intentions. If you have a trick, how can you give up so easily because of a few words of intimidation? I've been on guard against you."

Hearing this, the woodcutter shook violently, and his eyes stared at Qingxue deadly, "How did you open my axe, you didn't look back, and besides, that axe also hit you solidly"

Qingxue didn't answer his question directly, "It's just a little clever with it"

The woodcutter closed his eyes. "Forget it, it's useless to know." Since it's in your hands, I've been prepared for it for a long time, and the big deal is to start again in three months (in this case, the actual time)"

Qingxue shook her head, "I don't mean to kill you, but I don't want to cause trouble for myself" said, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed again, and the silver light flashed again and again, and when it was sheathed again, there were already a little more blood marks on the woodcutter's left wrist and right ankle.

Qingxue took out the cotton cloth and Jinchuang medicine that she usually used to bandage, and skillfully bandaged him, "Don't worry, I didn't completely break your tendons, but with the current degree of damage, don't think about it within a month, find a place to take care of it." Of course, you can still use weapons in your right hand, such as your delicate dagger.

Speaking of which, your dagger is really good, and you should be glad that I am not in the habit of collecting loot, so I will not be loved. I think you can do this business, you must also be a smart person, what to do next, you have to figure it out."

Until the two men rode away and could no longer see them, the woodcutter remained in the same position as before. As a bounty hunter, he has encountered many opponents, fierce, weak, and powerful, and there are many who really have the strength to fight for their lives, but now this situation is something he has never encountered.

Usually when encountering more fierce opponents whose lives are hanging by a thread, there is no such feeling now, such an opponent has no killing intent, but he has superb martial arts, which makes him cold but can't help but give birth to a different kind of intimacy, perhaps it is the first time that someone has bandaged his wound so gently, and the faint fragrance lingers for a long time.

Doing what they do, she is used to seeing the indifference of human feelings in the world, and she is also used to attracting bloody killings, although she hurt herself, she can't bear the slightest resentment towards her, and even for the first time, she has the idea of giving up the task.

As a killer, if you have compassion for your mission goals, even if you don't give up, it's useless. couldn't help but sigh, I don't know who is such a cold and kind person, who wants to be such a killer, and now he has no intention of saying this or quickly find a place to recuperate, as for what will happen to her next, whether she can avoid this heavy net is not something he should worry about.

――

Ran out of a few miles in one go, there was no village that the woodcutter said just now, which was also expected, and the two of them were not too disappointed, Qingxue looked at Yijian, and asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't you let me ask the mastermind just now?" ”

Before picking off the man's tendons and tendons just now, Qingxue wanted to ask again, but Yijian secretly shook his head at her, the tacit understanding that the two had cultivated these days, Qingxue naturally understood what he meant, so she obediently didn't ask again. However, the doubts in his heart have not diminished, and now that there is no one here, Qingxue asked his doubts.

Yi Jian slowed down, and said unhurriedly, "With the power of Nine Heavens Longhua, I can't find out who the employer is, I believe that the employer must be deliberately hidden, in this case, the first thing to hide is these killers, he doesn't know nine times out of ten."

I think the employer might have questioned the loser afterwards, and if you had asked him, the employer would have known that we didn't know who he was, and would have been comfortable going on to keep it secret, but even though we hurt him, we didn't ask about it, and we just let him go. The employer will wonder if we already know his identity, and maybe we will be in a hurry, and we will show our feet. Sometimes. It's necessary to scare the snakes."

After Yi Jian said this, Qing Xue also understood in her heart, and sighed in her heart, she was still not as good as Yi Jian to think long-term, and when it came to scheming martial arts, he was still a little behind.

Yi Jian saw Qingxue nodding, looking abrupt. Then a trace of loneliness appeared on his face, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, and turned to comfort, "Some things are confused." You're just trapped in the situation by the identity of this person behind the scenes, and if you look at it coldly, you'll definitely think of it right away."

Qingxue knew that Yi Jian had seen through what she was thinking just now, so she said so. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. She didn't care about that, she was just lamenting her own shortcomings. Thinking of this, he gave him a smile back "Don't worry, I didn't think much about it"

Although the smile on her face was not real through the veil, she still felt her relief, and she was relieved, and said with a smile, "Based on our current itinerary and the cold of the weather." We should be close to Celestial Pivot by now, from now on. Be more careful."

"Well, let's hurry up and see if we can find the village or pedestrians to ask, so as not to miss the mistake" Qingxue said, and the two continued to urge the horse forward. This road is a lot easier to walk, Yuehan and Yinshuang have not run so freely these days, and the road is a lot wider and smoother all of a sudden, so they naturally run away. This also proves one thing from the side, this place should not be far from Tianshu City, they have gradually moved away from the mountains and wilderness, and have embarked on the main road.

Qingxue didn't know if this was good or bad, not to mention whether she could enter Tianshu City smoothly, even if she entered the city, whether she could find Shen Yuan was another matter, for a while, she was a little confused, she insisted on coming to Tianshu City so rashly, was it right? Is it wrong?

Walking to the west of the sunset, the shadow of a village appeared in the distance, the people in the village came and went very lively, but also very hospitable, seeing them into the village, they all greeted them kindly.

The two stopped a pedestrian and asked the location of this place, only to know that this place was indeed not far from Tianshu City, and it was a hundred and ten miles away due north. The pedestrian they stopped was a peasant woman in her forties, and when she saw that it was getting late, the woman warmly invited them to go home for dinner. The two of them could not refuse, and life in the forest for so many days was very difficult, so they agreed to the woman's invitation and went with her to her home.

The owner of this family is surnamed Li, and the man is an honest and responsible person at a glance, and he was not displeased to see his wife inviting them home, but greeted the two very politely.

The dinner was prepared by Qingxue with the sister-in-law of the Li family, it was very simple, but the taste was very good, and both of them couldn't help but eat a lot. After the meal, for fear of affecting the innocent villagers here, the two wanted to say goodbye and continue on their way. Helplessly, the Li family said that they would not let them leave, saying that there was no way to drive the guests out at night, and everyone who passed by knew that it was the right thing for Xiaoxing to stay overnight, and they would leave early tomorrow morning, and their own family would never stop them, but tonight it was absolutely impossible.

After discussing it, for this kind of warm and simple villagers, the two of them have no resistance, since they are sincere must stay, and then say that they want to leave, I am afraid that it will not be suitable, so they can only stay first, wait until night, and then leave quietly.

These days, day and night, those people are used to ambushing on the road, although it is better to run into killers when they go out at night, than it is better for them to touch here and harm innocent villagers.

After discussing it, the two of them no longer shirked, the Li family's house was quite spacious, and Qingxue and Yijian were given a room, all of which were newly made futons, which were very comfortable, and Qingxue fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

These days, I spent my days in the mountains and in the wilderness, and I didn't have a good rest at all, and I rested for at most one hour a day to maintain my basic mental strength and be able to continue on my journey. Now that there is such a comfortable environment, the sleepy insects can't help but attack. The situation of leaning on the sword is similar to that of Qingxue, and he also falls asleep upside down, and this sleep is extremely solid and sweet.

It's just that the long-term exercise has formed a unique biological clock, as long as he reminds himself to wake up after sleeping for an hour before going to bed, it will never drag on until an hour and a half. This time was no exception, although I really didn't want to open this comfortable quilt and look at the bright moonlight outside, Yijian still got up, picked up his luggage, and quietly walked out of the room.

Standing outside the sunny window, I was just about to knock on the window to wake her up, when I heard a sound outside, as if something was moving in this direction on the street. Leaning on the sword was stunned for a moment, he flashed to the low wall on the side, and was just about to look out, when he felt a breath of breath reach his side. (To be continued......)
