The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 5 Farewell to Death
Li Yiniang pulled Su Jingchen hard to prevent the crowd from breaking them up.
"They're coming! They're coming! Li Yiniang heard someone behind her shouting this sentence in a trembling voice.
No, if you continue like this, what should I do, what should I do? She couldn't help but look around, but suddenly saw Wei Zhai. He carried his sword and shuttled through the crowd, as agile as a leopard, and then he suddenly threw his sword at Li Yiniang. Su Jingchen subconsciously wanted to block it, but he couldn't catch up.
The sword slid against Li Yiniang's face, cutting off a few strands of hair, and the strands of hair slowly fell with the wind. A muffled snort suddenly came from behind her, Li Yiniang and Su Jingchen turned their heads in unison, and the man behind him raised his hands above his head, holding a knife in his hand, which was the last posture before the most common knife style "Kaishan" slash in the northern three states, the man lowered his head and looked at the sword inserted in his chest, after all, he did not have the strength to chop down again, and fell straight down. Li Yiniang twisted Su Jingchen's head and protected his eyes with her hands, preventing him from looking.
She remembered the horror he felt when he first saw the blood.
Wei Zhai also came to them, and he looked at Li Yiniang.
Wei Zhai ...... You?" Li Yiniang just wanted to speak, but was grabbed by Wei Zhai involuntarily.
"Come with me first." He walked in front, with a fierce face, completely devoid of the usual gentleness, and those who didn't know thought he was a mountain bandit.
"Why are you here?" Li Yiniang asked him.
"I ...... I was a little worried and came over to take a look. Wei Zhai said. He is white, he is born to look like a reader, and he is extremely gentle to people, but he doesn't like to talk very much, and he spends most of his leisure time reading, and those who don't know think he is the clerk of the Wanshan Dart Bureau. But he is a good hand with a sword, and if he uses all his strength, he can even make Zhang Qiwan fall into a bitter battle. Such a person is naturally a person with countless admirers, and almost all the matchmakers who came to propose marriage crossed the threshold of his family, but he did not agree to any of them.
He liked her.
Wei Zhai's face was a little red, and there was a smile on his face that was difficult to hide, speaking of which, it seems that it is the first time I have pulled Ayi's hand, he said in his heart.
Li Yiniang seemed to suddenly remember something, she turned her head and confirmed that Su Jingchen was still following her, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way!" pushed Su Jingchen away, Su Jingchen staggered, fell to the ground, and watched the knife stab into her body, and even, you could hear the sound of the knife stabbing into her body.
But he could only watch.
Blood gushed out and splashed on his face, and something flashed through his mind, as if it had happened to him a long time ago. His face suddenly changed, his eyes were blank, his hands and feet were used to retreat, and then he covered his mouth with both hands, and his whole body trembled, as if he had lost his soul with fright.
He was dragged back into the abyss of memory.
Night, fire, blood.
Bursts of wailing, corpses.
Fear is eating away at me.
Run, run, keep running.
Hide here and don't make a sound.
You have to live well.
No, don't go!
The door panel shook and creaked.
Footsteps, something is approaching.
Gap, who is that?
His eyes were terrifying.
Trembling all over, he covered his mouth vigorously.
Tears, cowards.
She was holding a vase, what was she going to do?
Shattered, screaming.
Blood, splashed in the eyes.
……
Wei Zhai turned his head violently, his eyes widened and looked at everything in front of him, the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, his head was like a slap in the face, buzzing, and his heart felt like he had been cut by a knife, burned by fire, and pierced by a thousand needles one by one.
"You are not fit to hold a sword, you are of no use in being merciful to us, you are merciful to them, but they will only stab you in the back when you take it lightly." He remembered what Zhang Qiwan had said to him.
He didn't expect that Zhang Qiwan's words would be confirmed here.
Li Yiniang fell to the ground, and the wound on her lower abdomen continued to bleed, staining the ground under her red. Wei Zhai knelt beside her, holding her with one hand and gently covering the wound on her lower abdomen with the other, as if he wanted to stop the bleeding for her, but he was afraid of hurting her.
"Ah Yi, Ah Yi, it's okay, you look at me, look at me, don't sleep, I'll take you to the best doctor now." He was at a loss and wanted to cry out in fear.
"Wei Zhai," Li Yiniang smiled hard, raised her hand and gently rubbed Wei Zhai's cheek, but she didn't say anything after all.
"Ah Chen," she raised her eyes again to look at Su Jingchen on the side, Su Jingchen was excited, as if he had just woken up from a dream, he had tears on his face, but his face was hideous, I don't know whether to be angry or sad.
"I'm sorry," she slowly stretched out her hand towards Su Jingchen, but she couldn't touch him, "...... You're going to have to be alone. She finished saying this weakly, and her hand couldn't stop sliding down, Su Jingchen crawled forward, trying to hold her hand, but didn't hold it.
This feeling of powerlessness ...... It's really annoying.
The black shadow looked at Wei Zhai's desperate eyes, a sickly smile appeared on his face, he held the knife thrown in the blood, slowly retreated step by step, and said: "Remember my name, listen carefully, male-sheep-leopard, this is my name, remember it firmly, and then for life, for a lifetime, forever!" Live in my shadow, live in pain, never want to get rid of it, or try, can you let me, blood debt and blood repayment. He laughed maniacally.
Su Jingchen knelt on the ground, clenching his fists tightly, and his nails were embedded in the flesh and did not let go. Wei Zhai muttered to himself beside Li Yiniang's corpse, as if he had lost his soul, "How can you ...... How can it be...... I haven't even told you I like you. He held Li Yiniang's hand and cried like a child.
"It's my fault...... It's me who is too weak. Su was shocked, he slowly stood up, holding the bow of the man who had just died, tears flowed down his eyes, he clenched his fists and wiped away his tears fiercely.
The sun was about to sink in the west, and he stepped on the last rays of the sun, like a lone wolf, his eyes were shining, resentful, and resolute.
Then, he drew his bow.
The ram leopard's smile froze, it was obviously just an inferior bow, and he had retreated forty paces away, a distance he was confident that he could dodge the arrows shot by the boy. Although the boy only had two arrows in his hand, he was terrified and subconsciously wanted to escape. There was a different aura on the boy's body, but he couldn't tell what it was.
The first arrow.
The inferior wooden arrow whistled in the wind, and the ram and leopard tilted its head violently, and the arrow still cut a terrible scar on his face that was deep and bone-seeing, and the cold sweat soaked the underwear in an instant, and the blood and sweat mixed together and slowly flowed down. The arrow just now didn't kill him, it wasn't that he reacted quickly and dodged it, but that the young man didn't know why it missed.
He could not be allowed to shoot the next arrow, and the ram leopard clenched his knife and must kill him, or he should have died.
Su Jingchen looked at the bow in his hand that was almost broken, and he didn't know if it could hold up until he shot the next arrow.
A sharp explosion suddenly pierced the sky, and everyone looked at the direction from which the sound came from, it was a cloud roar, and there were fireworks produced throughout Zhongzhou, although this kind of fireworks were small, they were as bright as the sun, and were often used as a tool for transmitting messages.
Is it a signal to retreat, has it already been won? The male leopard was a little puzzled, but he didn't want to stop, the young man in front of him would definitely be a stumbling block in the future. Three more clouds rushed into the sky, and the face of the ram and leopard changed, and he put away his knife and turned around to escape into the crowd.
Su Jingchen shot the second arrow.
The arrow struck deep into the ram leopard's arm, and the force almost overturned him, and he staggered forward, skillfully snapping the arrow, gritting his teeth and pulling it out, and then hid in the crowd. Su Jingchen didn't chase after him, just looked at the broken bow, silent, and the tears on his face hadn't dried yet.
