Chapter 51: Caught in the swamp
In the past two years, a scene flashed through my mind, he danced his sword in the snow, he kicked the bow in the grass, he kissed me under the kapok tree with red flowers flying in the sky,
Forget about it all!
I held the dagger I carried with me, pulled out a strand of hair from my head, and with a slight cut, half of the black hair was held in my hand.
Helian Rui was startled and wanted to stop me: "Master, what are you doing here?" ”
I had a wry smile on my face: "I want to leave the past here." ”
Helian Rui was silent and bowed his head and retreated.
I reached out and held my hand holding half of my black hair, and my hand was slightly loosened, and the black hair flew in the air with the wind. I shouted, "See you again!" Huo Qu's disease! See you again! I love you! ”
In the darkness, a few birds were startled by my cry, and I suddenly laughed.
Helian Rui frowned when he saw me, then smiled heartily for a while, and said worriedly: "You... It's all right, is it? ”
I turned back to him and gave him a warm smile: "It's okay, I feel more relaxed than I have ever felt before, I never thought it was so good as it is now!" ”
The goodbye has been done, and it's time to let go of the past.
I stood by the lake for a long time, staring at the lake under the starry sky in the middle of the night.
Helian Rui couldn't help but say loudly: "Master, your health is a little better, but you can't stay outside for too long, don't run around, go back." ”
I pleaded, "I won't run around, I'm going to leave for Whitewater City tomorrow, I can't come here again, I'm here to let go of my worries." ”
Helian Rui covered his head and said, "We came out without the King of Chu, if we are discovered, my head will be moved." ”
I muttered, "I have been here with my beloved before, and it was on the shore of the Juyan Sea, and there were reeds flying on that day, and herds of cattle and sheep, and the breeze was blowing, what a beautiful picture." ”
I squatted down, picked up a handful of lake water, and sighed softly: "Helian Rui, do you know the way?" The shape of Juyan Sea is narrow and curved, like a crescent moon, which not only moistens this desert, but also is an important passage through the Badain Jaran Desert and the Great Gobi in Yunnan to the north of the desert. It's a pity that it dried up year by year, and in modern times it is called Swan Lake. ”
I didn't hear his voice in the middle of the ring, I turned my head to look at him curiously, only to see him stunned: "No wonder everyone in Yuexi is saying that you are a saint, you can know the past and the future, and getting you is equivalent to waiting for the world!" ”
This time I was surprised: "What?! ”
I'm not a saint, I don't have any divine powers, but I have more than 2,000 years of experience than the people here, but I never thought about what the people around me would think of me.
As he was talking, he suddenly saw movement in the reeds. I was taken aback: "Could it be that Chu Jinmo found out?" ”
Helian Rui's face changed: "It's not like King Chu, with weapons, is he a thief in the desert?" He grabbed me: "I thought it was safe around here, but I was careless!" It's bad if you find out, go away! ”
Shocked in my heart, I quickly put the veil on.
"What people!" A loud shout.
Helian Rui and I hurriedly tried to lead the horse, but it was too late.
"Surround it!"
Helian Rui protected me, if he was alone, he would definitely be able to break out, but I knew that he would never escape by himself, and we were already surrounded by this time.
"Don't move!" A man in the lead approached. I didn't expect him to be just a young man about twenty years old, with a tall posture like a pine, a strong momentum like the sun, and a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars under his sword eyebrows were staring at me inquiringly, with a smile on his face that seemed to care about nothing. I avoided his razor-sharp gaze and looked down at the ground.
Are these people thieves in the desert? I still regret my recklessness, secretly left the camp without Chu Jinmo, and ran to the depths of the Juyan Sea, unable to ask for help.
"There is a woman here, it seems that she is still a girl, and the girl asked me to see your face!" The man commanded.
Helian Rui immediately stood in front of me: "Stop, don't touch my sister!" He took out a bag of money from his body and threw it at the man: "If you want money, you can take it!" ”
"Fuck off! She's not like your sister, I'll kill you if you don't get out of the way! The man drew his saber.
I shouted, "Stop! Don't let blood pollute this beautiful Juyan Sea! Here are the memories of me and Huo Quai, I don't want this place to be tainted by blood, so I couldn't help but stop it loudly: "We don't have anything else, you take the money, let's go!" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and smiled: "Think of me as a thief?" ”
But my body trembled slightly, I didn't know what I was doing, the aura exuded from this man was far more terrifying than that of ordinary thieves.
He reached over to tear the veil off my face: "Let me take a closer look at your face!" ”
Helian Rui screamed and wanted to pounce, but was stopped by several people and struggled desperately.
I was grabbed by him and instantly ripped off the veil on my face: "What a stubborn girl! ”
I don't know where he came from, but I think of the horror of being caught by the thieves, my body trembles, my hands grope on the ground, I grab a handful of dust, and I raise my hand and raise it in his face.
The dust flew up to his face and fell into his eyes: "Ah! He let go of his grip on me, and I immediately threw myself aside.
The man raised the saber in his hand and pointed it at me: "What a bold woman, how dare you do this to me!" ”
I closed my eyes and waited for his next move, but I didn't expect there to be no sound in the middle of the sound, I opened my eyes to see, and his face changed from fierce to disdainful: "I thought it was a beauty, but it turned out that it looked like this!" ”
Helian Rui came over to protect me: "It's okay, right?" ”
I shook my head.
The man said coldly: "It seems that it's just a pair of useless men and women who have a tryst here, let's go!" ”
I immediately felt pardoned, bowed my head and dragged Helian Rui's arm and walked quickly. We took the horse, turned it over, whipped it off.
We had just walked a short distance when a ride approached us. When I saw that man was dressed in the costume of the Akatsuki Division, I secretly screamed in my heart! The man looked at me with a shocked look on his face, and quickly passed me and ran towards the group.
I looked back to see what the leader had said in the man's ear, pointing in my direction, and the man's face changed from a thoughtful expression to a look of disbelief, and he squinted slightly at me who had already run away. Drink to order his subordinates: "Chase me!" ”
I turned to Helian Rui and said, "It's not good, we've been recognized by the Akatsuki people, run!" After saying that, he whipped the horse behind the horse and ran for his life.
The pursuers were in hot pursuit, unable to see in the dark, and panicked out of fear, so I didn't notice that we had strayed from the way we came.
Suddenly, I felt that the horse stumbled under my feet, and as soon as my feet became weak, my body fell down. Helian Rui was like me, he rolled over, flew onto my horse, and rode with me.
I didn't fall to the ground as I imagined, but slowly fell down. Helian Rui was taken aback: "It's not good, it's a swamp!" ”
The pursuers behind stopped outside the swamp: "They are stuck in the swamp!" ”
The leading man said hatefully: "What a pity! I heard that this woman is extremely intelligent and can actually flood Akatsuki, I originally thought that I would catch it for my use, but she would fall into a swamp, and it seems that she is destined to die today! ”
I fell towards the swamp with Helian Rui, the harder the soles of my feet, the faster I sank, the deeper I sank, I panicked, my body was not as high as Helian Rui, and I couldn't step on the bottom. Helian Rui lifted my body hard and pulled me.
The man saw on the edge of the swamp that we had entered the center of the swamp, too far from the shore for him to rescue. Finally, he made up his mind and ordered: "Retreat!" With that, he turned his horse's head, and the rest of his men left with him.
Helian Rui and I were fluttering in the swamp, covered in mud and water, and even the pursuers didn't dare to enter the swamp, am I really going to die here today?
Little by little, we fell into the swamp, and it seemed like a long time had passed. Helian Rui said: "Master, they are all far away, don't be afraid, I will save you." ”
I looked up at him, wondering what he could do to get out of the swamp. Suddenly I felt my body being hugged, Helian Rui supported my back with one hand and my leg with the other, and lifted me high as soon as he was forced.
I was lifted into the air by him, and when I saw him gritting his teeth, blushing, he let out a loud cry and walked towards the shore step by step.
We were running desperately for our lives just now, but we didn't know that we had entered the depths of the swamp, and there were still dozens of meters from the shore at this time.
Ten meters, five meters! It's almost there!
Suddenly, Helian Rui's hand let go, and I almost fell, so I hurriedly looked down at him. Helian Rui's expression suddenly relaxed, and he said in a low voice: "Master, please take good care of my sister." ”
Before I could speak, suddenly my whole body took off into the air, as if flying in the air. "Ahh I exclaimed, and then I felt like I had landed on the thick earth.
I rolled on the ground a few times, and when I stopped, I immediately shouted at Helian Rui, who was still in the swamp, "Come up!" ”
Helian Rui shook his head at me, and I saw his body being swallowed into the swamp little by little, and I exclaimed and crawled towards him: "Don't! ”
Helian Rui smiled at me: "The first time I saw your oasis, it was like this Juyan Sea, in fact, I..." His words were swallowed up by the swamp, and I watched as the top of his head sank into the mire.
"Helian Rui! Help me! Someone! I stretched out my hand to grab him, but the distance of a few meters made it impossible for me to touch him at all.
"Helian Rui! Hold on! ”
I yelled desperately, he has always been by my side to protect me, from the first time I met in the oasis, to later I sent to Hu Yanyeol to be an eyeliner, from him being my bodyguard in Whitewater City, to following me to Akatsuki to rescue Jinmo.
From beginning to end, Helian Rui was obedient to me, he handed me a knife when I killed someone, and he was always the first to rush out to protect me when I was in danger.
