Chapter 31: Out in Distress 1
The woman was dressed in a coarse cloth gown, her hair was as messy as grass, her face was haggard, her eyes were hollow, and she looked like she had been ill for a long time.
She sat on the bed, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, her face was nervous, her lips trembled, and she said, "Who is it?" ”
"I'm a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, please open the door."
Su Yexi lightly opened her cherry lips, and her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, crisp and sound.
"Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The woman muttered to herself, and then asked, "Why did the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion come to me, a wild woman from a mountain village?" ”
"Cuizhu asked me to come."
"Cuizhu?"
When the woman heard her daughter's name, she relaxed her vigilance, got up, took the scissors tightly in her hand, and opened the door, and was greeted by a woman with a dusty temperament, luxuriously dressed, and a charming appearance, followed by a maid and a grandmother.
Su Yexi smiled slightly, as warm as a spring flower, the woman completely relaxed her vigilance and put the scissors on the table.
beckoned to the little girl who was trembling on the bed: "Yun'er, come here, it's okay." ”
The little girl got out of bed silently, hid behind the woman, and looked at them with her head out, still a little frightened in her heart.
The woman smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, this is my youngest daughter, named Cuiyun, she has been timid since she was a child, and she has not seen anyone. ”
As he spoke, he poured a few glasses of water and handed them to them, and there were two fresh chrysanthemums floating in the teacup, which were slightly fragrant.
The woman smiled embarrassedly: "There is no good tea in the mountain village to entertain you, only some wild chrysanthemum tea, which will be settled." ”
Su Yexi took a sip gently, a bitter and sweet taste spread in her mouth, she smiled in her eyes, and said softly: "This chrysanthemum tea is delicious, thank you." ”
The woman opened her mouth, hoarsely asked, "I don't know what the young lady came to me for, is it what happened to Cuizhu?" ”
The woman's face was worried, Su Yexi chuckled, and said lightly: "No, I went out to play, and I happened to pass by here, and I remembered that Cuizhu once said that this is her home, so I came to take a look." ”
"Oh, I see, can the young lady tell me that Cuizhu is doing well, she hasn't come back since the last goodbye, Yun'er and I are a little worried about her."
Mama Hua and Zhihua on the side glanced at each other, their eyes were a little red, if she knew that her daughter died so miserably, I don't know what a blow it would be.
"Don't worry, Cuizhu ...... her"
As he spoke, Su Yexi's eyes were a little moist and he smiled
"Cuizhu, she is doing well, because the house is very busy, she can't spare time to come to see you, you don't have to worry."
Hearing Su Yexi's words, the woman was much more relieved, and was about to say something, when she heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance outside.
Su Yexi's expression was grim, and she said to Mama Hua and Zhihua: "You two take them away quickly, hide in the distance, and I'll go and see the situation." ”
"What should you do, Miss? I can't leave you behind. ”
Su Yexi frowned slightly, and said coldly: "You don't have to worry about me, do what I say, I'm dragging them here." ”
"Yes, miss."
Saying that, Su Yexi walked out of the door, only to see three or four people on horseback, running straight here, Su Yexi's eyes crossed a trace of coldness, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, it came so fast!
A few people were only ten meters away from Su Yexi, one of the leaders led by him, with a horizontal face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a deep scar on his face, he held a big knife in his hand, turned around and got off the horse, looked at Su Yexi, and said in a rough voice: "Little girl, who are you, go away quickly and don't get in the way of the masters, otherwise you will feel good!" ”
A cold smile appeared on Su Yexi's lips, and her cold voice was like thin ice hitting each other in the ice pool: "This is my home, you broke into my home for no reason, and you want me to get out of the way, how can there be such a reason?" ”
When several people heard this, they were puzzled, and one of them, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, whispered in his ear: "Big brother, no, that person said that he wanted us to kill a big man who had done a lot of evil, but this person in front of him was obviously a delicate little girl, did we make a mistake?" ”
The scar-faced man touched his chin, his mouth cocked, and said, "Let's search the house first." ”
As he spoke, the young man turned his face back and said loudly: "Little girl, our eldest brother said that he wanted to go in and search, and you obediently stood aside." ”
Seeing this young man, Su Yexi was a little puzzled, Gu Qingwei couldn't find a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy looking for a killer, strange, what the hell was going on?
Su Yexi frowned slightly, and was thinking, when the young man saw that she didn't react, he swaggered open the door, only to see that there was no one, the young man nodded, and Scarface snorted coldly: "Little girl, it seems that we are looking for the wrong one, sorry to disturb, let's go." ”
Hearing this, Su Yexi came back to his senses and said in a cold voice, "Who hired you?" You ......"
Before the words fell, suddenly, only a "boom" of arrows was heard, and several arrows came with a strong sound.
Su Yexi was startled, it was too late to dodge, and in a panic, the young man volleyed over and hugged her, narrowly avoiding the sudden arrow.
As soon as the two of them stood firm, they saw a man in black suddenly flash out of the grass, swinging his sword and stabbing him.
The young man hugged Su Yexi with one hand and made a sword with the other, without the slightest panic.
The black-clothed man's martial arts are not weak, he advances and retreats in an orderly manner, and the sword in his hand dances with sword light, and his moves are fatal.
After a while, the young man was soon at a disadvantage when he struggled, and the scarface and a few other people hurriedly swung forward with the big knife, and the young man gasped for breath, a little sweat broke out on his forehead, his face was a little pale, and he looked like he was physically exhausted.
Su Yexi helped him and said worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”
The young man glanced at her and said weakly, "Do you think I'm okay?" ”
After saying that, he fainted.
The other few slowly couldn't hold it up, except for Scarface, the other two were injured, and the wounds on their arms were of different depths.
The man in black attacked Scarface with his own strength, and he was caught off guard and only at a disadvantage.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
The other two screamed, and when Scarface was about to lose his support, the sword was about to stab at him.
Su Yexi waved her hand, and several silver needles flew out of her hand, and the man in black was startled, blocked the needle with his sword, and retreated again and again.
Su Yexi's eyes were cold, he turned around and picked up the sword beside the young man and attacked him, the sword was like the wind, a burst of sword light and sword shadow, and the two of them were incompatible.
A cold smile appeared on her lips, and she turned around with her sword, her swordsmanship was clever, and the man in black kept retreating.
Scarface was stunned, and his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg, his face full of disbelief.
The man in black reacted quickly, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, he was clever and dodged in time, the two of them were on par, Su Yexi frowned slightly, if it goes on like this, he can't fight for a reason, and it's a waste of time!
Seemingly......
A trace of coldness crossed Su Yexi's eyes, and he soon lost his strength, sweating on his forehead, panting again and again, and was defeated.
The man in black put the sword on her neck and sneered: "I didn't expect you to know martial arts, I really underestimated you, but in the end, it still fell into my hands, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”
As she spoke, the man in black was about to kill her with a sword, when a touch of coldness crossed her eyes, and the corners of her lips hooked a bloodthirsty arc.
"Ahh
only heard the man in black scream, covering his eyes, and after a while, he only felt that his face was like thousands of ants crawling again, itching and scratching his face.
A face was mottled with blood by him, unrecognizable, and even the skin and flesh were turned out, and he couldn't see his original appearance, only a pair of eyes were exposed.
His hands were also covered with blood, and he endured the itchy and painful feeling on his face, glaring at Su Yexi with a hideous face: "You, what did you do to me!" ”
Su Yexi played with the small porcelain bottle in his hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a sarcastic smile in his eyes, and his tone was not shocked, but it was not difficult to hear the indifference inside.
"It's nothing, it's just a little poison for you, but this poison I spent seven hundred and forty-nine days refining it, using the five most poisonous insects, centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, geckos, and toads.
People who have been poisoned by this poison will first feel that their face is itchy and unbearable, and they will keep scratching until their face is scratched and there is no flesh left, and the poison will penetrate the whole body, until there is nothing left on the body, and the blood will dry and die! ”
Saying that, Su Yexi couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "By the way, no one can solve this poison except me!" ”
Several people next to him couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, and one of them cautiously walked to Scarface's side and whispered
"My mother-in-law, big brother, this little chick is too vicious, but fortunately we didn't provoke her."
"Ouch"
Scarface hit him on the head and motioned him not to speak, the man screamed in pain and touched his head, and when the man in black heard this, his eyes were full of horror, and he touched his face, only feeling bloody.
He glared at Su Yexi fiercely, as if he was going to eat her, and roared angrily: "Give me the antidote, give it to me!" ”
The man in black picked up the sword thrown on the ground and swung it at Su Yexi, because he was dominated by poison and fear, he showed no mercy to Su Yexi, and attacked her fiercely, as if he was crazy.
The black-clothed man's swordsmanship is chaotic, and each sword exposes its shortcomings, but each sword is close to Su Yexi's body, and if you are not careful, you will be stabbed, which is terrifying to watch.
Su Yexi's body was light, and with a slight turn, one turned around, the other leaned down, and easily dodged over, as if he was playing.
"Miss!"
Zhihua's voice came, Su Yexi subconsciously glanced at it, and the man in black took advantage of this to stab straight at her, Su Yexi was startled, reacted very quickly, and turned around to dodge.
The man in black changed the direction of his attack, and a sword spun around and stabbed straight towards Zhihua.
"Be careful!"
Su Yexi exclaimed, she didn't expect the man in black to change the direction of attack, everyone didn't have time to react, Zhihua was stunned for a while, seeing that the sword was only one centimeter away from her.
