Chapter 330: Careful Picking
Zhou Caicai and Zhou Xing flew through the wilderness, and in the evening, they came to the village.
The village is rather desolate, and the people seem dull. The yellow sand rolled outside the village, and the village dogs barked at them a few times. Although it seems that they are also considered "masters" in the foundation building period, it is easy to kick a few dogs to death, but the little girl and the boy have just advanced to the foundation building period, and they do not have the consciousness that they are more or less "masters", and their scalps are numb when they are barked by these dogs.
In the north of the village, there was an inn, but after entering the inn, the shopkeeper looked at them gloomily behind the counter, like a living ghost, so that even their hearts began to grow.
The two sisters and brothers asked for two rooms next to each other.
Zhou Caicai entered the house, the room was very narrow, except for a bed and a table, there were no extra things, and the bed was very clean. It was already dark outside, she freshened up, lay down in her clothes, and couldn't help but gently call "big brother" again, and the big brother's response came from the hairpin, which made her feel very relieved.
Eleven or twelve-year-old girls actually have some understanding and yearning for some things, but this yearning is mostly on the good side. The surroundings slowly became quiet, and his thoughts began to come to mind, realizing that he and his eldest brother lived in the same room, and I didn't know if it was a "lonely man and widow, alone in a room", his face turned red, and he was a little shy.
Thinking back to that time, the eldest young master of the Jiang family tied her hands and threw herself on top of her, in fact, she was already frightened, and she couldn't do anything except cry desperately. Followed by. The big brother appeared like a savior, and rescued her and her brother in the midst of heavy surrounding.
At the beginning, she thought that the eldest brother was someone her father knew, and he broke into the Jiang family to save her, but later learned that the eldest brother didn't know her and her younger brother at all, so in her heart, she slowly positioned the eldest brother as a "hero" and "chivalrous" who was easy to fight. I started to have a lot of hope.
Especially later. After experiencing the things in Qingniu Villa, the big brother who had nothing to do with her and could ignore her at all formed a strong contrast with those "chivalrous" who were obviously her father's friends and had various chivalrous names on the rivers and lakes. This longing is becoming more and more intense. Unconsciously. It was mixed with some strange feelings.
In my heart, I gently called "big brother" again, and then fell asleep sweetly. Since the accident in his home, it seems that he has only been able to sleep peacefully in the past few days when he was protected by his big brother and Sister Xiangxiang. Originally, I was worried that they would let her go and let her take her younger brother to "explore the rivers and lakes" by herself, but now that she knows that her eldest brother is still with her, the uneasiness in her heart will be gently swept away by the warm wind, and the whole person is much more relieved.
Covered with a blanket, he fell asleep quietly, and seemed to have a dream, a gentle and sweet dream.
Until the voice of the big brother sounded in her ears: "Cai Cai! Wake up! ”
She rubbed her eyes in a daze, sat up, and opened them, and there was darkness all around, except for a few rays of moonlight, which peeked through the gaps in the square curtains made of bamboo silk. She asked softly, "Big brother?" ”
Sun Yan's voice came ethereally: "Call Xiaoxing over first." ”
Cai Cai began to realize that something must have happened, and suddenly came to his senses, quickly jumped out of bed, came to the wall on the right, and knocked lightly on the wall. Just after a while, there was a soft sound from the other side, followed by Xiaoxing's voice: "Sister? ”
Didn't Xiaoxing fall asleep at all? Zhou Caicai thought to himself. She whispered, "Little brother, come to me!" ”
***
As Zhou Caicai guessed, Zhou Xing actually hasn't slept all the time, or rather...... Don't dare to sleep.
Because he always felt that the room was dark and weird, as if ghosts would pop up at any moment.
Of course, this is really just a child's hallucination.
Zhou Xing, who was originally just a son-in-law, has been pampered since he was a child, and now he is sleeping alone in such a completely strange place, and it is inevitable that he will be afraid. Although I also wanted to run to my sister's room and sleep with my sister, I hesitated for a while, but I still didn't go over after all.
He is young, and naturally he doesn't know the difference between men and women, but as a "man", he always feels that he should protect his sister, but he is afraid to sleep alone, and he runs over to let his sister protect it, which is really unmanly.
It's just that although I think so, this feeling of "monsters will emerge from under the bed" is still unavoidable, and my face is facing outward, and I don't even dare to turn over, and I always feel that as soon as I turn over, I will see an extra face behind me.
He kept awake like this, until there were a few soft sounds of "knock knock" on the wall, which almost scared him so much that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha was born, but fortunately, his sister's voice soon came from the other side. He didn't say a word, jumped out of bed and put on his shoes, even if he ran next door...... This is my sister, you told me to go over, I didn't go over because I was afraid of ghosts!
Entering my sister's house, anyway, it is also the skill of the foundation building period, although the child's natural timidity is still unavoidable, but the eyes are far sharper than before, and I saw my sister sticking to the window, through the gap, looking out carefully. He began to realize that his sister was not scared because she slept alone...... Anyway, my sister doesn't seem to be sleeping alone, and her big brother accompanies her? But something else had happened, so he called him over, so he tiptoed to the other side of the window, and like his sister, turned his head to look out through the gap between the bamboo strips.
At this glance, I saw golden lights, flying around in the distance. Although the two children, because their father is also a person from the rivers and lakes, they know a lot of strange people, and the two of them know at a glance that those golden lights flying around are all sword cultivators of the imperial sword, that is, cultivators who mainly use "flying swords". These sword cultivators, at least dozens of people, if it is just an ordinary cultivator, even if they get together, what they learn is also various, it is impossible for all of them to cultivate swords, and they are so uniform, these people must be some swordsmen raised by the city lord or the prince, considering that this is still the territory controlled by Fei Sin City, that is to say, these people are...... The swordsman of the Jiang family!
The two sisters and brothers glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts, could it be that the people of the Jiang family knew that they had come here, so they sent these swordsmen to arrest them?
At this moment, two sword lights flew towards them, flying over their heads, and with two swishing sounds, they should have landed in front of the inn. Then there was the straightforward sound of the door breaking down, and the sound of inquiry. Zhou Caicai was shocked in his heart, although he didn't dare to be sure whether this group of people was here to arrest them, but he didn't dare to be careless after all. So he quietly opened the window and hinted to his younger brother, and the two slipped out of the window.
Not long after, someone stepped upstairs and a voice rang out: "Are you sure it's only two children living in?" ”
The innkeeper's voice rang out: "Exactly, exactly!" ”
There were several knocks on the door, but no one answered, followed by two bangs.
"Kid? Where did the children come from? ”
…… (To be continued......)
