Text Chapter 83 Revealing the Heart at the Bottom of the Cliff
Under the cliffs of the beauty mountain is a scene of blooming flowers, many of which are fragrant, but they are not named, some are dazzlingly red, some are white and quiet, all kinds of flowers compete with each other, and butterflies and bees dance in the valley, bringing a touch of vitality to this silent deep valley.
In a thick bush of flowers was a huge toad-like monster with a spear stuck in its mouth, long dead.
The spear was firmly grasped by a pair of powerful hands, but fortunately, the owner of these hands happened to lie on the toad's body to avoid the fate of falling to his death.
On a thigh-thick tree that emerged from the rocks next to her, there was a woman dressed in red, her head hanging deeply, as if she had fallen into a coma, and the dense branches stopped her from falling, so that she could escape from death.
After a while, one of the fingers of the hands holding the spear moved, and then the other fingers slowly moved, his closed eyes slowly opened, because his neck could not move temporarily, he only looked ahead with his eyes, saw the beautiful scenery, flowers, knew that he was not dead, he relaxed a little, it was good that he was not dead, the revenge of the master and his family has not been avenged, and it is not worth it to die, especially at the hands of a beast.
Yu Chi Lingfei had a splitting headache, his limbs were sore, and he couldn't move for a while, he tried his luck and found that his true qi had long been exhausted, and he was afraid that he would not be able to recover without the replenishment of elixir, so he could only maintain his current posture and use the Zhengyi Exercise to sort out the blocked veins.
Not long after he woke up, the red figure on the branch also moved, Gu Jinghong snorted softly, she felt that the bones in her whole body seemed to be scattered, and she just moved the small branch couldn't bear it anymore, and the snap broke off, and even the person with the branch fell to the ground.
"Ouch." She snorted again, because she was blown down by the demon wind blown by the blue clam, she did not fight directly with the demon beast, and her injuries were not as serious as Yu Chi Lingfei.
She waited for the blood in her body to flow smoothly before she stood up, found a small medicine bottle, took the healing pill, and then meditated cross-legged, using exercises to check the injuries in her body.
Gu Jinghong fought with the Qingyin swordsman before the true qi was exhausted and the secret method was used, which hurt the root, and then met Yu Chi Lingfei and forcibly fought again, the old injury was not healed and a new injury was added, and the blue clam entwined her caused the dantian to be damaged, the true qi was lost, and she abolished her martial arts, becoming a waste person, an ordinary person.
For a heaven-level assassin who has been strictly trained in Xiaoyao Tower, he will not frown even if he dies, not to mention that he has just abolished his martial arts, and she has to accept this fact that she has been unable to perform martial arts several times, and she is a little lost in her heart, but she is more relieved.
I wanted to find a place to live in seclusion and be an ordinary person, and now I have achieved it.
There is no true qi to guide and dredge the entrance of the pill, and most of the medicinal effect is lost, and the remaining little bit of medicinal effect has no effect at all.
She looked up at the sky, and saw only a palm-sized piece, the bottom of the valley was cold and damp, and not far away was the corpse of the monster and the man who was chasing her.
The strange thing is that there are many exotic flowers and plants growing in such a place, and the light is not particularly gloomy.
I don't know how long it has been falling, but now I am thirsty and hungry.
After resting for a long time, she felt that her whole body was not so painful, she moved her body around to find a way out, and helplessly found that there was no way out of this valley.
Surrounded by mountains, there is a small basin of about one acre and a small pond two meters wide, and in addition to these blooming flowers.
After Gu Jinghong walked around with great effort, she found this speechless fact, is she really going to be trapped here, starving to death here?
The sourness in my heart is incomprehensible, think about my own life, my parents died when I was a child, I met the acceptance of Xiaoyaolou when I was wandering on the street, I have suffered all kinds of hardships since I was a child, and I finally met a person I liked, I thought I could experience the sweetness of love but I never wanted to meet a negative person, and I chased and killed the negative person who was seriously injured and was blown off the cliff.
All kinds of sorrow were mixed together, and the stubborn heart couldn't bear so much pain, and couldn't help but sob.
It just so happened that the afterglow of the sunset penetrated through the palm-sized hole, and she was so poignant crying among the flowers that Yu Chi Lingfei in the distance was stunned.
When Yu Chi Lingfei was very young, he went up the mountain with his master to learn art, and his time in the mountains was very boring, practicing various exercises day after day, and occasionally practicing calligraphy. He understands loyalty, master has always told him about the things of previous dynasties, he admires those loyal things, especially a military general named Guan Yu at the end of the Han Dynasty, he has always wanted to be a person like him.
Today he raised his eyes and saw the beautiful woman crying in the flowers, and his heart stabbed fiercely for no reason, and an urge to protect her and take care of her arose. Such a thought startled him, this kind of unexplained emotion made him a little annoyed, this is a vicious woman in Xiaoyaolou, that place he has heard from the master, all the demons who kill people without blinking.
He suppressed this thought, his eyelids were very sleepy, and his stomach was croaking with hunger, such a hunger was still experienced when he followed the master in the mountains, at that time it was the year when the night dynasty suffered from severe drought and floods, according to the master's ability, he could survive in many ways, either robbing the rich and helping the poor, or going out of the mountains as an official, or falling into the grass as a coward, no matter how bad he was, he could be a Jianghu artist, but he said that integrity is more important than life, he is a Yanhuang person, he is not a Xuan Demon official, and he can't do things that are sorry for his ancestors, In the famine year, the wild beasts in Jingshan can also save their lives, but he said that if he eats less and hunts less, then the poor people can live a few more, and he doesn't understand this idea even now.
A master of martial arts who has reached the level of a martial artist starves to death like this, and he dies peacefully, as if he has received a kind of relief.
Yu Chi Lingfei didn't want to die yet, he wanted to shout out for help, but when he thought that he was so depressed that he needed a woman to save him, and his dignity overwhelmed his life, he chose to endure it, and then look for food when his body could move and move freely.
Diverting attention when people are hungry can alleviate this feeling, but more deliberate diversion will only get more and more hungry, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, so he closed his eyes, he saw the fragrant crispy chicken, steaming white flour steamed buns, golden pig's trotters flowing with oil, he couldn't help but take a bite, the real meat aroma filled the entire mouth, he could even feel a stream of heat fill the shriveled stomach pouch, and fell asleep with a deep sense of satisfaction.
Gu Jinghong looked at the man lying on the grass, and there was a sense of confusion on his face.
She cried for a while, cried out all her grievances, felt a little better, and fell asleep on her stomach when she was tired of crying, and only after a long sleep was she woke up hungry again.
She went to the waterhole to drink some water, the pond water is very cold, the entrance is a little sweet, she drank a few big sips, felt that the body recovered some strength, saw that there were swimming fish in the pool, and wanted to catch and eat, but did not expect that this waterhole is not big but very deep, she saw a spear in the mouth of the blue clam in the distance and had an idea, planning to take the weapon to spear the fish.
She ran over to get the spear, but she didn't expect that the "dead" man was still firmly grasping, and she couldn't pull it out after struggling several times, but instead heard him hum: "Water..... Water.... Hungry... Give me ......"
Gu Jinghong was startled, after all, she was an assassin, she quickly calmed down, and checked Yu Chi Lingfei's artery, it happened that he was not dead, but his breath was weak and not far from death.
There was a fierce struggle in her heart, to save or not to save? If you save him, if he recovers, will he continue to kill himself, if he is not saved and let him die here, then the entire Jedi will be left alone, what a terrifying and desperate thing, it is really better to die than to live like that.
Skip this paragraph for now, we'll revise it later
Horseshoe Bay is located 12 kilometers away from Yixian County, connecting Qinyue in the south, bordering the Haihe River in the north, and the mountains are staggered. There is a lot of husband when the pass, and the trend of ten thousand people is not open, and it is a place where soldiers of all generations must fight. In the first year of the great cause of the Yanhuang Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty had just overthrown the Xia Dynasty and established a new dynasty, and the remnants of the Xia Dynasty still had sporadic resistance in various places. Because there was a battle between the two sides in the morning and the evening before the troops were withdrawn, the remnant sun was like blood, the whole battlefield was unusually quiet, and the corpses of the soldiers on both sides who had not had time to clean up were all over the field, and the blood stained the entire horseshoe bay red, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke and loess.
Suddenly, a thin figure appeared on the battlefield, crouching down from time to time rummaging on the corpse, and a few soldiers saw it from afar, and one of them shouted: "Who is over there?" ”
The thin figure shuddered and stopped to look at the shouting soldier. "No, it's so careful to be seen, it's bad luck again today," the child muttered a few words, and then lowered his head and waited for the hair to fall.
"Lao Xiao, don't shout, he should be an orphan in a nearby village, every time the war is over, some children will secretly come to the battlefield to get some things to sell in exchange for some food, they are all poor people, you just turn a blind eye."
The rest of the soldiers also chimed in: "It's Lao Xiao, who doesn't have a wife and children at home, they blame the pitiful, don't shout, in case the chief knows that it is a trivial matter for us to be punished, this child may starve to death on the street." ”
The soldier who shouted was stunned for a moment and sighed: "How long will this battle be fought, my youngest son was recruited to Anyang just after birth, and he hasn't been home for almost ten years, and I don't know what is going on at home?" Alas.... Hey, the imps over there. ”
The thin child uneasily hid a few copper coins in his arms before running over, and the soldier called Lao Xiao saw that the child was dressed in very tatters, barefoot pants and clothes were all torn of different sizes, and the trouser legs and sleeves were scraped into cotton cloth strips by thorns, and the leakage was full of black mud, and the whole person was unkempt, and he couldn't bear it, so he touched a few copper coins in his arms and made up a few with several other people to give to the child.
"Don't come in the future, if you get caught, you will be punished, you know? You take this and buy something to eat. ”
The child was taken aback, his dark face raised and looked at the soldier in front of him carefully, and thought to himself: Every time I am caught, I will inevitably have a board, not only is it okay today, but I also have money to take, am I not dreaming?
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." He bowed to a few soldiers and quickly ran away from the battlefield, and immediately ran into the nearby woods.
"This stinky boy is quite clever! Hahaha...."Several people laughed and looked at the children who ran away.
The child is from Zhangjia Village near Horseshoe Bay, his parents fled in several wars, and he died of illness on the road, in this era, because there are wars every day, wandering beggars can be seen everywhere on the street, and civilian life is very difficult, and the child also survives by relying on the alms of some well-wishers and occasionally going to the field to steal some food, but perennial malnutrition also makes him thinner than his peers.
