Chapter 4: A Holocaust

Although this big brother from the sky is not easy to get close to, who are the two little guys, how can ordinary children compare!

Their unusual style and gameplay quickly attracted Sima Jing's attention.

Although the little girl is two years younger than Sima Jing, she is tall and has picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

She is only thirteen years old, but she is already slim! Xiao Anyang was born with a small nose and a small mouth, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, melon seed face, ingots and ears, skin like coagulated fat, fragrant cheeks and pink cheeks, like the prototype of a peerless beauty.

Although he is still young and has not fully grown, he still can't hide the alluring appearance.

She is different from the reserved and twisted ladies in the capital, and her personality is cheerful and generous, which adds a bit of heroism to the picturesque eyebrows. makes this thirteen princes, who have always been cold and stubborn, weak in heart for no reason.

Every time they met, he deliberately avoided that simple and clear gaze and didn't dare to look directly.

Xiao Thirteen has nothing to do every day, except for reading and practicing martial arts, he follows his sister and brother to dry medicinal herbs in the garden, swing under the tree, and fish in the river......

Speaking of swings, they weren't the kind he'd seen with planks and vertical drawstrings.

It's just a hemp rope tied between two old locust trees, and if you want to swing it, you have to have a considerable balance ability.

The two sisters and brothers sat or stood, swinging skillfully and freely, but he, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, was shocked to watch.

The little girl in pink and jade stood casually on it and swung into the sky, as if the string was nailed to her feet, and she was happy! That feeling of freedom and detachment made a ripple in his heart that had been silent for many years.

Looking at the girl who was smiling and dancing like a smart fairy, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

The girl is too beautiful, but the sun is so scorching that she doesn't tan her at all, and her big eyes are like the purest amber, not stained with dust. The cherry mouth couldn't hide the carefree smile, the delicate and small nose, and the pointed chin...... All of them made the teenager's heart beat and blush.

"Brother Liqing, do you want to come and play too, I'll give it to you!"

The girl shouted sweetly, her voice as tactful as a yellow warbler, crisp and pleasant, "It's fun!" It feels like flying! Give it a try! ”

As she spoke, she stood on the high swing and opened her arms wantonly, closed her eyes slightly, and fluttered in her dress, letting the autumn wind dance her three thousand green silks.

Xiao Thirteen was stunned, he had an illusion that it was not a mortal girl flying in the air, but a Nine Heavens Flying Immortal!

Beautiful! The beauty is dazzling, the beauty is suffocating! Her beauty is so pure, so untainted! What a peerless and independent world!

It's not that he hasn't seen beautiful women, but he has really never seen such a pure, beautiful, bold, and confident girl.

He suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to practice martial arts well, he wanted to protect her! He has to be strong, and he can't be bullied like this anymore!

In order to give Xiao Anyang his ideal future, Sima Jing has changed! I became cheerful and lively! is no longer the thirteen princes who closed themselves off and kept no one to approach.

He finally came out of the grief of losing his mother. He has a goal and an ideal. He is also more diligent and hardworking. No more passivity.

He went from passive acceptance to active participation. In just two months, he managed to become their admirer. turned the two sisters and brothers into his little followers. Every day, he studied and practiced martial arts.

Sima Jing found that the little girl actually had some martial arts skills. Although the fist and foot kung fu is not as good as the little radish head brother Anton Xu, but one move and one style are in place.

Later, he slowly learned that she was stealing. It was General An who secretly learned when he taught An Dongxu.

Sima Jing was interested, and he had another hobby every day: that is, teaching the two young brothers to practice martial arts.

Don't underestimate Anyang, this girl, she is meticulous in learning, and her hardness is not even worse than him! And Anyang is very smart, and he can understand it at one point, which surprises Sima Jing even more.

Every time he looked at the girl looking at him with a smile in her eyes, Sima Jing couldn't help but blush and her heart beat.

He knew he had fallen, drowned in her charming eyes!

The girl also seemed to be attracted to him, and whenever he helped her guide the movements, he could always see the girl's slightly flushed cheeks, which made him even more happy.

The relationship between the three is getting better and better, but the An family siblings are very knowledgeable and never inquire about his life history. Who can resist such a beautiful and smart girl who doesn't fall in love with it!

Sima Jing found himself falling deeper and deeper and couldn't extricate himself! He really wanted to live happily and carefree, but some people were afraid that they would not be able to sleep for a long time.

His much-loved son, who was favored by the emperor, was still a formidable threat to some people without the protection of his mother and powerful foreign family.

The good times always go quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he has been living in the Gu family for more than a year.

In addition to practicing martial arts and studying with his sister and brother, what he did the most was to lead the two sisters and brothers to catch fish in their unique way in the Qingshui River that flowed through Gufu in the medicine garden of the back house.

The water of the river is fairly clear, and near the shore is covered with tall reeds. In the shallow water, large areas of lotus flowers are planted. It was early autumn and the sun was still a little hot.

They spend most of their time hiding near the reeds to play.

Don't look at Anyang's younger brother is only nine years old, he has nothing to say about his good water nature. In the water, it is like a nimble loach. This loach, Sima Jing and An Yang can't catch it, only by him.

They never use tools to catch fish, they always catch them with their bare hands. The Thirteen Princes, who didn't even know how to swim at first, have become quite experienced after the training of the two sisters and brothers, and they are like a dragon in the water, which has the potential to turn over the river and the sea.

At noon on this day, Anyang did not wait for a punctually punctualized lunch every day. In the past, when they played in the backyard, lunch would be delivered to the gazebo by the river on time.

Anyang felt that his eyelids were jumping badly when he got up in the morning, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

She was wearing the bathing suit that her mother had made for her, and she looked up at the high sun, and it seemed that it was already past noon, and her stomach was rumbling.

She picked up her shoes and picked up the outer skirt that hung on the tree, and glanced at the young man lying under the tree with his eyes closed.

Today, my grandfather and uncle took my younger brother to the barracks. It is said that my father had a little trouble and was slightly injured. The uncle, who had just passed his twentieth birthday, followed his grandfather to help, and his younger brother Andong Wook followed noisily.

Anyang would never have dreamed that this would be goodbye. Not only did the younger brother not return, but even the only uncle and grandfather with gray sideburns were not spared.

Anyang walked along the bluestone path around the garden full of medicinal herbs and large trees to the front yard.

As soon as she crossed the threshold of the Moon Gate with one foot, she saw the soldiers in the courtyard and her father running in a panic in the direction of the gate.

The mother stood in front of the court with her back to her, anxiously directing something.

An Yang suddenly had a bad premonition, and his heart was beating suddenly. Hurry up and take three steps and make two steps and run towards your mother. By the time she reached her mother's side, the men had already rushed out of the house and ran away.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Her large, watery eyes overflowed with panic.

She knew that something terrible must have happened, otherwise her mother, who had always been calm, would not be so flustered!

At this time, Jin Niang was obviously not calm, and the eagerness and panic on her face had never been before.

She glanced at her daughter, who had come to her side. He grabbed her little hand. "Your grandfather and they were besieged by a group of gangsters in Shilipo outside the city, and they were afraid that they were in danger. I'll let them go and rescue them!

Hurry up and take Brother Liqing to hide in the cellar! Don't come out no matter what happens!

Don't come out unless I'm here to pick you up! Remember? ”

Although Anyang was very afraid, he still pretended to be calm. She shook her mother's cold hand back. Her mother's palms were covered in cold sweat, and she could see how nervous she was.

"Mother, will it be a tiger leaving the mountain?

They found out that the big brother is in our house? It's because our house is too tightly guarded! You hide with us!

I don't think it's that simple!

You want to! First, someone came to spread the word that my father was assassinated and injured, and then my grandfather was trapped! I think someone deliberately planned it, but you left people to protect the house? ”

Jin Niang was shocked, her daughter was right, she was concerned about it! They may have fallen for it!

But she really can't rest assured, those are her dearest relatives! It's her life! She chose to believe it!

Maybe people just calculated it, she didn't dare not believe it! Jin Niang hurriedly beckoned the porter to chase the soldiers who had rushed out of the mansion, and asked them to quickly draw some people back to protect the one in the mansion.

The porter chased after him quickly. Anyang didn't have time to think about it anymore, seeing that her mother refused to go with her, she had to remind her mother to protect herself, safety is the most important thing, so she quickly lifted her skirt and ran to the backyard alone.

She has a premonition that something big is going to happen at home! An Yang had just run to the moon gate leading to the backyard when he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him.

She looked back and was so shocked that she nearly tripped over herself. As she expected, a group of masked men armed with swords were rushing into the courtyard.

It's too fast! Didn't give her time to hesitate! She glanced in her mother's direction, and she ran wildly. Her heart was bleeding, and she was worried about her mother!

But how? As far as her three-legged cat kung fu is concerned, how can she be the opponent of these powerful men in black? What's more, there is a special person in the house who needs her to protect, and she knows very well that she can't act righteously.

I hope those people have a little humanity and don't hurt a helpless woman! She prayed in her heart as she ran!

Running all the way, turning around, An Yang ran to the reeds where Sima Jing was in one go.

She grabbed the boy who was basking in the sun with his eyes closed. I didn't have time to say more, so I dragged him and told him about the situation outside. Sima Jing was dragged awake by her in a daze, and his head was still a little confused.

It was impossible for them to go back to the cellar of the room. There is no place to hide here except for this small reed.

An Yang pulled Sima Jing into the reeds while recalling other places that might be hiding nearby.

She suddenly saw the gazebo where they usually played, and remembered that there was a small hole under the gazebo.

They hid when they played hide-and-seek, and the place was so small that they could barely hide one person, but it was very hidden.

Thinking of the usual parents' entrustment, I mentioned more than once that I must protect this big brother.

An Yang guessed that his identity must be unusual, otherwise his father would not hide him in his backyard.

She didn't have time to think too much, and asked, "Are those people coming for you?" ”

Sima Jing didn't hide it anymore, and nodded slightly, "It should be!" I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you this time. ”。 His hands were very cold, and he must have been frightened by this sudden change.

Compared with Sima Jing, Xiao Anyang is much calmer. She had already heard the messy footsteps outside, the reeds were not very big, and there were always shadows faintly visible, and the two of them couldn't hide them at all.

In times of crisis, she has already made a decision. "You take off your robe." Not a proposal, but an order. An unquestionable order.

This is the first time Sima Jing has seen such an Anyang. She looked serious, and she couldn't allow him to refute!

Seeing that Sima Jing stared at her in a daze and didn't move, An Yang didn't continue to talk nonsense with him, and directly took off his outer skirt and stuffed it into Sima Jing's arms.

Sima Jing was still stunned, and An Yang had already ripped off his robe and put it on himself.

"What are you going to do? No! Sima Jing finally came back to his senses, and he was anxious to rob her!

Anyang ignored his resistance and quickly put a boy's bun on himself. Pulling Sima Jing to quickly move towards the pavilion close to the reeds.

The noise outside is getting louder. Crying, screaming, pulling and collapsing came one after another.

As soon as they approached the pavilion, several men in black with knives had already rushed into the back garden, slashing everywhere with knives.

Luckily, the back garden was big enough, and the reeds and trees in front of the gazebo helped them buy them a little time.

Anyang They crawled to the vicinity of the pothole. She pressed Sima Jing into it and covered it with herbs that were drying aside.

Sima Jing refused, "You hide here!" I'll deal with them! ”。

An Yang glared at him, "When is it!" There are so many of them, do you think you can do it? Don't make unnecessary sacrifices! Don't let us down!

Remember to hide it! Whatever happens, don't come out! Otherwise you're sorry for everything we've done for you! Where there is life, there is hope! Remember! ”

Sima Jing was silent! He knew he wasn't strong enough to protect them. And this girl who is only fourteen years old can face such danger without confusion and think so clearly, he is completely convinced!

"Now we can only rely on our destiny! It is one to be able to keep one! An Yang added in a whisper.

After speaking, he just wanted to move back to the reeds, but Sima Jing grabbed her arm and said lightly, "You can come in too!" Let's squeeze it".

An Yang glanced at the small cave and frowned. Where can there be two people in such a small place, and one person can't hide it.

"Shhhh Don't move, it's not safe here. There's still a place to hide over there. Leave me alone, don't come out, each according to his destiny! ”。

Still the same sentence, Sima Jing was stunned. She was right. At this time, with their weak ability, they can't protect each other at all, but they are each destined by heaven.

But she left him the safest place, what should she do?

Thinking of what Anyang said earlier, Sima Jing didn't insist anymore, he wanted to keep this life to take revenge! The unjust case of his mother and grandfather's family is still waiting for him to be rehabilitated!

He hasn't stabbed the enemy yet, he can't die! Raising his hand to clean up the disguise on his head, he gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice: "You must be careful!" ”

An Yang didn't answer, but the cat bent over and moved towards the reeds.

It may be that the movement here has alarmed the man in black. They searched this way with their glittering steel knives.

As soon as An Yang got into the reeds, he was discovered, "There are people over there, hurry!" "A shout.

Several black-clothed people flew over here in unison, and An Yang was in a cold sweat.

It seems that the reeds can't be hidden! In a hurry, she rushed to the river in three steps and two steps.

Just as An Yang was about to approach the Qingshui River, a sharp arrow pierced the sky and shot straight into her back.

A sharp pain hit, and An Yang fell to the ground.

The man in black was too fast, and he was already close to him. An Yang gritted his teeth, and secretly said in his heart: Can't let them catch it, otherwise Brother Liqing will be in danger!

She mustered up the last bit of courage, quickly got up, and ran towards the Qingshui River. Fortunately, she was already close to the river, and threw herself into the river when the man in black approached.

She was good at water, endured severe pain, and swam as hard as she could into the middle of the river.

I heard the man in black behind shouting, "The Thirteen Princes are here!" More men in black rushed over.

An Yang's body stiffened when he heard their shouts.

The Thirteen Princes? No wonder his father was so polite to him. If something happens here, I'm afraid the whole family will be condemned!

An Yang was secretly glad that he had changed clothes with him, otherwise he was afraid that he would not have attracted attention to her!

It's dangerous! But now it's even more dangerous! Anyang desperately swam in the opposite direction of the lower reaches of the river, where Sima Jing was hiding.

The man in black did not go down to the river, but shot an arrow at her from the shore. Anyang is not stupid, she naturally won't walk in a straight line.

The sharp arrow whirred in his ear, and An Yang couldn't care about the pain in his back, and swam desperately downstream. By the time she swam to the lotus flower, her strength was visibly exhausted.

Under the cover of a large lotus leaf, she skillfully took off her outer robe, wrapped the big lotus root that she had dug out in the morning and tied under the lotus leaf to flush the water, and let the clothes float away in the water.

With the help of a large piece of lotus leaves connected together, Anyang hid under the leaves with bated breath, looking at the two more sharp arrows on the robe that floated away along the water, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and her consciousness began to blur.

Just when she couldn't hold it anymore, the soldiers finally returned.

She heard the clashing of swords, but she couldn't hold on any longer, slowly closing her tired eyes.
