The night wind cut my tear-drenched face like a knife, and the tears were dried by the wind in an instant, the wind whistled in my ears, and the voice echoed strangely, and I felt my chest swell as if it was about to crack, fear, sadness, anger, and powerless frustration, like thousands of sharp knives, pierced my heart, tormented me so much that I could barely breathe. I don't know how long we have been running, how far we have run, the pursuers behind us have long been gone, the morning star has risen from the east, the sky is faintly white, and the majestic outline of the Great Wall has faintly appeared in front of him, An Yuanxi was overjoyed, and rushed forward: "Border City!" The border city is coming! ”

My spirits were also lifted, and I accelerated my horse speed and ran forward, these two horses were really good horses that traveled thousands of miles, and they actually sent us to the border city overnight, no wonder in order to get these two horses, the Marti tribe could be so ruthless that they did not hesitate to exterminate another tribe, is it that in their hearts, dozens of lives are not as good as two horses?

Xumen Pass is getting closer and closer to us, my tears can't stop pouring out, we escaped, we finally escaped, and entered Xumen Pass, which is the territory of Tiancao Kingdom, and we no longer have to worry about the pursuers catching up. Running to the outside of the Xu Gate Pass, we slowed down the horse harness, and found that the city gate was closed, An Yuanxi turned his head and said: "The city gate will not be opened until dawn, let's get off the horse and rest for a while." ”

I wiped my face, looked around, saw a birch forest not far to the left, and shouted, "Go into the woods, it's too conspicuous here." Running into the woods, An Yuanxi turned over and dismounted, picked up the blank Danny from the horse, put him on the grass and sat down, and then came over to hug Jinsha, who was already crying and hoarse, and then helped me get off the horse. There was a sudden pain on my back, I took a breath, my feet were weak, and I fell to the ground, An Yuanxi said nervously: "What's the matter, is the wound cracked again?" ”

It was only at his mention that I came back to my senses, and the tearing pain on my back reminded me that the wound that had finally healed must have been pulled apart again under such a violent gallop. I sat down weakly on the ground, An Yuanxi frowned: "Your injury ......"

"Don't worry." I looked up and saw the two children sitting on the grass, struggling to stand up, riding the horse for too long, the legs were sore and soft, An Yuanxi helped me over, I hugged Danny and Jinsha, the frightened expressions of the two children made my heart sour, and tears almost came out of my eyes.

"Sister Ahua, will my grandmother and Abba die?" Jin Sha asked in horror in my arms, and I immediately stopped talking, biting my lip, and my heart was dripping blood with sadness.

"Jinsha ......" An Yuanxi squatted down and hugged her distressedly, Jinsha cried "woo", "I want my mother to ......, I want grandma to ......"

"Don't cry!" Danny, who had been silent, suddenly shouted at his sister, "They won't die!" ”

Jin Sha was scolded by her brother, and her tears were suddenly scared back, and she leaned into An Yuanxi's arms and sobbed quietly. Danny's little hands clenched into fists and said firmly, "They won't die!" ”

I couldn't bear to look at the expressions of the two children. Judging from the madness of the Marti last night, Aunt Ixia's family had no hope of survival, but I couldn't say such cruel words. Why? Why are good people not rewarded? Good people are always bullied? My hands clenched tightly, my nails sank into the flesh, and I whispered hatefully: "An Yuanxi, is it that a person who has no power and no power will definitely become the fish and meat of the powerful and let others slaughter him?" ”

"You ......" he opened his mouth to speak, I sneered, tilted my head, looked at the gradually brightening sky with blazing eyes, gritted my teeth and said, "I swear, I must become a very rich and powerful person, no one can bully me and the people around me at will!" ”

He looked at me steadily, mixed emotions welling up in his eyes, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all. We all fell silent, the forest was so quiet that there was no sound, the sky was brightening little by little, the sun was rising in the sky, and at last, we heard the heavy "squeak" of the gate closing the Asahi Gate...... ...... sound, I stood up, my body couldn't help but tremble a little, and I picked up Danny and Jinsha on the horse, and we led the horse in an distance, and when we stumbled to the gate of the Xumen Gate, my tears couldn't help but gush out, I'm back, I'm finally back!

There is only one decent inn in the border city, An Yuanxi and I decided to go to the inn to rest first, walked into the inn, found that the lobby business was very prosperous, went straight to the counter, and wanted to tell the shopkeeper that he wanted two rooms. When she saw us, she smiled and said, "Is the girl going to eat or stay?" ”

"Accommodation." I came back to my senses and smiled.

"Thirty wen a room, how many rooms does the girl want to open?" She glanced at me and An Yuanxi, and asked with a smile.

As soon as she said this, I realized that I had made a big mistake, we didn't have any money on us at all, and there was no money village in the border city to let me withdraw money, my face was red, An Yuanxi hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, we don't want it." ”

Turning and stepping out of the inn door, I stood blankly, staring at the people coming and going in the street in a daze. Seeing my depressed appearance, An Yuanxi said softly: "Don't be so depressed, we have dry food, let's find a random place to rest first, eat some dry food and then find a way." ”

I turned around and was about to leave, when I suddenly heard a familiar voice in the lobby of the inn, I turned my head and saw a man in white lying lazily on the counter out of nowhere, and smiled lightly at the female shopkeeper at the counter: "Yi Niang, you are so beautiful today, it really makes Yu more and more fond ......of it."

"Jade Butterfly!" I screamed, and the man turned his head to see me, first stunned, and then rushed over in surprise, "Huahua!" ”

I was angry and angry, and rewarded him with a panda eye: "The old lady almost lost her life in Yaoyue Country, you bastard is still picking up girls here!" ”

"Wronged, Huahua......" Yu Die'er covered her eyes and screamed, and when I heard it, I was even more furious, "I saw it with my own eyes and wronged you......" was about to give him another punch, An Yuanxi hurriedly grabbed me, "Don't make trouble here, everyone else is watching!" ”

When we turned our heads, the diners in the lobby were all staring at us, with a playful look on their faces; The female shopkeeper at the counter was stunned at first, and then a meaningful smile appeared on her lips; Danny and Jinsha also looked at me dumbfounded, I snorted, and said to Jade Die'er, "Open two rooms for me, and you let me in." ”

An Yuanxi sent Danny and Jin Sha into the room and put them to sleep, Yu Die'er was full of doubts about the two children we brought back, I didn't bother to take care of him, the two children were frightened all night, and fell asleep without much coaxing. I stepped into the next room, and as soon as Yu Die'er came in, I began to ask the teacher: "Tell me, didn't you let you pick us up?" Don't you know to inquire about the news without anyone answering? ”

"You really wronged me, Huahua ......" Yu Die'er glanced at me aggrievedly, "I waited for you in the border city for a few days and didn't come back, so I went out to look for you, and on the way I heard that you accepted Oulei's golden knife at the horse racing conference, and you were going to marry him as a princess, as soon as I heard it, I hurried to the imperial capital with a whip, sneaked into the palace to investigate, the whole palace was searched, but I didn't find you, and then I caught a palace maid to ask, only to know that you and An Nerd were treated as a silver woman and immersed in a pig cage......"

"You fart!" I was furious, "What a husband and silver woman, we are framed ......"

"Yes, yes......" Jade Die'er nodded again and again, "I went to the lake where you were thrown into to investigate, and found nothing, and dived to the bottom of the lake to look for it, and after looking for a long time, I found an empty pig cage at the bottom of the lake." ”

I was stunned, "You dive to the bottom of the lake and watched?" "Although the lake is not deep, it is cold, if Yudie'er really dives into the water to find it, it will be difficult for him.

"Yes, I see that the bamboo cage is empty, I think you must have escaped, so I have been looking for you everywhere on the grassland, but the grassland is so big, I don't know where you will run to, and then I think about it is better to go back to the border city first and wait for you, as long as you don't die in the lake, you will definitely go back to the border city." Yu Die'er said aggrievedly, "I only returned to the border city yesterday, and I only came back one day earlier than you." ”

I smoothed my breath and gradually extinguished the fire: "Count this guy a little conscientious!" I didn't enjoy myself here! ”

"Of course, Huahua's business is my business, for Huahua's sake I can go to the soup and fight the fire......" Yu Die'er leaned over and smiled with a begging face, "Huahua won't see me talking to Yi Niang, so I'm jealous......"

Evil! I scoffed and said with a sneer: "Go, go, I'll be jealous of a guy like you?" I don't know your Nade surname yet, but when I see a beauty, my whole body is itchy......"

Yu Die'er pretended to sigh, "hehe" smiled and said: "If Huahua beats me for the reason, alas, ......, it will be ......worth it for me to take a few more punches."

I gave him a blank look, An Yuanxi hadn't spoken since he entered the room, and suddenly said at this time: "Miss Ye, you need someone to help you reapply the medicine for your injuries, and I will help you prepare the medicine." Blink of an eye, she glanced at Yu Die'er, "Young Master Yu, can you ask the proprietress of the inn to give Miss Ye medicine?" ”

"Flowey, are you hurt? Where did it hurt? Yu Die'er jumped up and grabbed my hand, I glanced at An Yuanxi, who was taking out the wolf poison weed from the package, and there was no special expression on his face. I withdrew my hand and said lightly, "On my back, I was scratched by a wolf." I'll tell you about it later, so I'll trouble you to find the boss lady first. ”

"I'll go right away." Jade Die'er rushed out like a gust of wind, An Yuanxi took the wolf poisonous weed, and also walked out: "I'll go get the medicine, you rest for a while." ”

"Hmm." I nodded, and when I saw him walk to the door, I couldn't help but stop him, "An Yuanxi......"

He paused, turned his head to look at me, and I hesitated for a moment: "Yu Die'er is this surname, he actually ......" An Shudu'er and Yu Die'er have had a bad time, I really don't want the two of them to still look at each other unpleasantly.

"I know." An Yuanxi smiled, "You rest, don't think so much." ”

Belch? The nerd didn't even put on a bad face? I thought that when he saw Yu Die'er's unruly appearance, he would definitely resist his pedantic thoughts, and he would stretch his face and show his face, so he wanted to help Yu Die'er say good things, but I didn't expect him to look understanding, but it seemed like I was a villain.

The wounds were all cracked, and the injuries from some time ago were in vain, and the female shopkeeper Yi Niang was startled when she saw my injury, and said, "Why is this injury so bad, girl?" ”

I smile bitterly, do you think about it? Yi Niang helped me apply the medicine, and when she saw me gritting my teeth and not saying a word, she said softly: "Call it out if it hurts, it seems that your injury needs to be recuperated in bed for a while." ”

I know that too. I bit my lip depressedly, Yi Niang was tinkering on my back, I couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of the child who was recuperating at Aunt Yixia's house, my eyes were hot, and I buried my face in the pillow, I don't know if Aunt Yixia's family is really ......, maybe I can let Yu Die'er go to the grassland to inquire about the news, what if they are still alive? Even though I know that this chance of an eventuality is too slim.
