Chapter 101: Queen of Thieves

Zhong Lichun changed his clothes and wrapped the Water Moon Sword around his waist. Carrying Zhang Qiongyue, he walked along the river with a deep foot and a shallow foot to rest. Slowly walked to the edge of the waterhole and put Zhang Qiongyue on a stone. Although Zhang Qiongyue is very thin and light. But Zhong Lichun, who had not recovered from her internal injuries, still felt struggling, and she was panting tiredly. Sit on a stone and rest. Zhang Qiongyue felt distressed and wiped the thin sweat on her face with her sleeve. sighed and said: "It's all your mother who has tired you, you're tired, take a break and wait for the sweat to dry."

Zhong Lichun nodded and leaned on the stone to close his eyes and recuperate, recovering his strength, this time he wanted to take Zhang Qiongyue into the water, but he couldn't make a mistake, and he couldn't do it without physical strength. So he took off his belt and tied Zhang Qiongyue on his back, which was this move, which almost killed both of them.

Zhang Qiongyue was lying on her back, tied up by Zhong Lichun and taken to the bottom, as soon as Zhong Lichun dived to the bottom, he realized that something was wrong, it turned out that there was one more person on his back, and the resistance to swimming underwater was much greater, not as he imagined. Zhong Lichun struggled to dive to the entrance of the cave and drill outward, but the resistance was too great to get there, and he couldn't drill through. Zhong Lichun was anxious and struggled hard. If you can't get through, then both of you will die. In a hurry, he struggled to flutter under the water.

Zhang Qiongyue felt that Zhong Lichun was a little flustered on her back, she opened her eyes and saw that it was stuck, she stretched out her left hand to Zhong Lichun's waist, took out the Water Moon Sword and inserted it into the belt that tied her, and with a strong wave, she cut the belt. The two quickly separated. Zhong Lichun's back was light, her body suddenly became flexible, and she stretched out her hand and dragged Zhang Qiongyue to push her out first. Zhao Qiongyue swam out of the water with her hands. Zhong Lichun then quickly rushed out of the hole and surfaced, gasping for breath. By the faint moonlight, Zhang Qiongyue was dragged ashore. Both of them collapsed on the ground tiredly, looking at each other and smiling. It's finally coming out.

Zhong Lichun remembered the situation just now, and his frightened little heart was pounding, if it wasn't for Zhang Qiongyue's quick decision just now, she reacted quickly and cut her belt. A few more moments, I'm afraid both of them will have to get stuck at the entrance of the cave.

Zhong Lichun secretly spoke, it turned out that carrying a person under the water and on the ground were completely different things, and he would never dare to carry someone into the water in the future. No wonder people say, the water is not very good, don't go into the water to save people, otherwise you will drown, I didn't believe it before, I experienced the moment of life and death just now, and finally understood that saving heroes is not so easy to do.

Fortunately, it was dark now, and there was no moonlight, otherwise they would have been blindfolded after staying in the dark hole for so long, and they would have encountered strong sunlight, otherwise this eye would have been really blind.

The two of them lay on the ground to rest, Zhong Lichun got up and carried her on his back, and touched the village along the path by the moonlight. Knock on a villager's door. After waiting for a long time, no one opened the door. I had no choice but to knock on another house, but I didn't see the door.

A gust of night wind blew, and Zhong Lichun and Zhang Qiongyue shivered in unison. Zhong Lichun smiled bitterly, put down Zhang Qiongyue, jumped into the courtyard, and saw a few sets of dry clothes hanging in the yard, and he didn't care about so much, so he took them off casually, opened the courtyard door, and both of them changed into dry clothes, which made him feel much more comfortable. Zhong Lichun looked down at the coarse linen clothes, and sighed secretly in his heart, I couldn't imagine that after I became a king, I would actually be reduced to stealing this coarse linen clothes.

Since the thieves have done it, let's just go and steal some food. So Zhong Lichun blatantly found a few steamed buns in the kitchen. Obviously, I saw that there seemed to be some movement in the room, and heard a man say, "There is a thief in the house, I'll get up and take a look." I heard a woman say: "Don't go out, yesterday the Bilong Pond suddenly rolled in the water, and then a woman's head popped up, listening to the old man in the village, I'm afraid it's the fish demon who is doing the trick." So don't go out in the middle of the night, save the fish demon to eat. ”

Zhong Lichun thought it was funny when he heard it. But it's right to think about it, the small waterhole that is usually calm and waveless, suddenly the water surges, and he suddenly emerges from the bottom of the water, and anyone will think that it is a monster making trouble. No matter how much they tried to break their heads, they wouldn't have guessed that they would come out of the dark river.

Zhong Lichun thought about it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if the whole village regarded himself as a monster, then wouldn't he be burned alive by these stupid villagers. And his internal injuries have not yet healed, and he is carrying a Zhang Qiongyue, how to escape. Come to think of it. She remembered when she was young, when the whole village chased a leper and burned him alive. couldn't help but shudder, hurriedly stuffed the bun into his arms, picked up Zhang Qiongyue, and just wanted to get up.

Suddenly, there was an urgent sound of gongs, and suddenly I saw a large group of villagers holding torches from all directions. Zhong Lichun and Zhang Qiongyue hurriedly closed their eyes, and ripped off their clothes to cover their eyes, afraid of being burned by the strong firelight. Zhong Lichun and Zhang Qiongyue could only dimly see a group of people surrounding the two of them.

Zhong Lichun sighed, it seems that he is still a step too late, since he can't go, he can only face it. So she said loudly: "Uncles and brothers, I am not a monster! Are we human? ”

At this time, one or two middle-aged couples came out of the house and shouted, "Of course I know that you are human beings, and you are a thief and thief, who stole our clothes and steamed buns. Come on, brothers! Catch these two thieves for me. After speaking, he came up and pulled Zhong Lichun.

Although Zhong Lichun was blindfolded, he couldn't quite understand what they were saying, but as soon as he got closer, he already knew. As soon as she waved her hand, she threw him out, her face sank, and she shouted: "Who dares to be presumptuous." "The momentum of years of battlefield battles is awe-inspiring. Everyone felt an inexplicable coercion coming. Immediately stopped there, not daring to step forward. The two sides are at such a stalemate.

Zhong Lichun lowered his head and touched the clothes he had changed on the ground, threw them to the middle-aged couple and shouted: "My set of clothes can top more than ten pieces of your coarse linen clothes, take them and change them with you." ”

The middle-aged couple took a look at the torches, soft fabrics, exquisite embroidery, such a set of clothes, not to mention a few coarse linen clothes, can buy several acres of fertile land. It's just that I'm afraid that there are not many people in the entire county who can wear it. He was surprised and delighted, and asked again in disbelief, "This suit is really for me." ”

Zhong Lichun couldn't understand what he said, and she didn't want to make any more trouble, she snorted coldly, picked up Zhang Qiongyue and turned around and left. Although there were still a few people who wanted to stop her, they were all shaken away by Zhang Qiongyue's wave of her hand and couldn't get close. Wait for Zhong Lichun to go away.

The villagers rushed up and asked, "Erniu, just let the thief go?" ”

Erniu nodded, "This set of clothes is not to mention two sets of coarse cloth clothes, it is enough to buy a few acres of this field." ”

"Really? Everyone stepped forward to open their clothes, and suddenly one of them screamed in fright, "This belly pocket is embroidered with dragons and phoenixes!" Ahh Who is so bold as to dare to embroider dragons and phoenixes on underwear, don't you want to live? ”

One of them suddenly shouted, "That one just now seems to be the banshee who popped out of her head in the Blue Dragon Pool yesterday." ”

"Really?" I couldn't be wrong, I just got up with water and saw the bottom of the pool bubbling, and then she came up. We were all scared away. ”

"It's ......." Everyone looked at each other, and one of the older old men said tremblingly: "Go and catch that demon girl, don't burn her to death, don't let her cause trouble in the world." The dragon and phoenix on this underwear hide the demon girl's heart to cause trouble in the world, go quickly. ”

Zhong Lichun never thought that the underwear that he usually wore would become ironclad evidence of the demon girl, thinking that after she was sealed for the second time, the underwear she wore was all depicted with dragons and phoenixes, and she only brought a few underwear after leaving the palace. And Jun Mo asked the underwear he prepared for himself to also depict the dragon and embroidered the phoenix, and he didn't expect that the clothes of peace would actually bring trouble to himself.

Erniu and his wife were shocked and hurriedly threw their clothes far away. He asked urgently, "Village Chief, what you said is true?" ”

The white-bearded old man definitely said: "There is a saying handed down from our ancestors, saying that if a woman is born in Bilongtan, it will be a great chaos in the world. It must be burned at all costs to prevent future troubles. This woman came out of the Bilong Pond and was wearing a dragon and phoenix, didn't she respond to the words of the ancestors. Go quickly, and before she succeeds in her demon law, she will be burned to death quickly before her wings are full. to prevent future troubles. ”

After hearing this, the crowd shouted, picked up hoes and clubs, raised torches and hurried after them.

Zhong Lichun had just walked out not far when he heard the noise of people behind him, and when he looked back, he saw the villagers holding torches, shouting words such as burning the demon girl in their mouths as if they didn't understand. Hurriedly ripped off the blindfold, ran with Zhang Qiongyue on his back, and escaped from the village like a fly. However, he was weak and weak, his serious injuries had not healed, and he had another person on his back, how could he pass those strong men quickly. Only a moment later they were surrounded by them again.

Looking at the strong fire around him, Zhong Lichun only felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and hurriedly blindfolded his eyes again. Zhang Qiongyue lay on her back and said guiltily: "Shuang'er, it's your mother who has affected you." You go alone! Leave me alone. ”

Zhong Lichun sighed, "Mother, you have waited for me for eighteen years, how can I leave you alone, today we will live and die together." ”

Zhang Qiongyue shook her head again and again, "Shuang'er, you are still young, and you have a sweetheart waiting for you to go back." Mother is already a wasted person, and she is satisfied to see you in this life. Let's go! I don't think they're going to do anything to me! ”

Zhong Lichun shook his head, "Mother, you see that they have already treated us as monsters, and they will care if you are a waste person or not." "If you really can't escape, then you can only fight to the death, and it doesn't matter so much, after speaking, he put his hand on his waist and grabbed the Water Moon Sword tightly.

Seeing her momentum, everyone didn't dare to step forward, so they shouted and threw the torches in their hands at Zhong Lichun.

Zhang Qiongyue's internal strength was profound, and she swept the torch a few feet away with her internal strength, and set fire on the periphery of the two of them.

Zhong Lichun and Zhang Qiongyue were so scorched by the intense fire that they didn't dare to open their eyes. Zhong Lichun looked up to the sky and sighed, "I can't imagine that after I became a country, I didn't die on the battlefield, but I was buried in the fire of stupid villagers. As soon as the words fell, suddenly the wind flew, the dark clouds rolled, the lightning and thunder, and in the moment, the raindrops of beans poured down with the thunder and lightning, pouring the fire on the ground clean, and the rain disappeared with the polar clouds, a ray of morning sunshine and a curved rainbow rose from behind Zhong Lichun, shining the light on the two of them.
