Chapter 37: Sudden Assassination
The sun burns in the hot summer, and it seems that it can spontaneously combust when exposed to the sun. The civilians complained that God was not beautiful, and they approached the Minjiang River, barely avoiding the summer heat.
If it's sunburn, that's it; The most uncomfortable climate in the city is still sweltering. In the summer, the clouds block the daylight, and it seems to be cloudy, but it is the beginning of hell - with the hot and humid climate, the whole landscape will linger in a stuffy and hot environment, even to the riverside.
In this weather, Taijia still braved the heat and practiced logging on the hillside.
He tried all sorts of exercises, and he had tried to build strength on his feet, but he didn't have time to care about his hands; This time he was training for explosive power again, holding his breath and concentrating, and as soon as he went down with an axe, a huge tree broke at the waist.
But this is still a matter of recklessness, is it standing in place as a live target?
A tree fell, and Taijia put down the axe impatiently, found a shady place and sat down, and the sweat still did not obey the command.
"Big brother!"
Hotaru walked up the mountain with a bucket of water in her arms, and the smile on her face made Taijia forget her tiredness in an instant. When Firefly put down the barrel, she flew over and hugged Taijia again.
"Don't hold me! Big brother is covered in sweat! Taijia smiled bitterly, since the last birthday, Hotaru Moon has become more and more fond of sticking to him.
"Hehe, big brother is sweating, I'll wipe it for you!"
Firefly smiled obediently, took out a clean cloth from her waist, and urged the Thai armor to sit down, from the head to the chest, and then from the chest to the waist, carefully wiped it clean, and wiped the bronzed skin of the Thai armor shiny.
After doing all this, Hotaru Yue felt a special sense of accomplishment, and handed a bowl of water to Taijia, staring at Shui Lingling's big eyes and asking, "Big brother, what are you doing cutting wood every day?" ”
Taijia drank all the sweet spring water and said with a smile: "Make a chair!" ”
Hotaru knows the chair, Taijia made two out a few days ago, and with that one, you don't have to sit on the ground, it's very convenient, but the ass is a little bit. But even such an "uncomfortable" thing makes the people in the village envious.
The chair is not a difficult wooden furniture, it is still a mortise and tenon structure, and the Thai armor can easily make it. After a while, he will have to get out the wooden table, and then everyone can sit down and eat.
"But there are two chairs in the house, which is enough to sit on, why does the eldest brother do it?" Hotaru wondered.
"If you do too much, you will give it to the people in the stockade!" Taijia said without mind.
Firefly Yue was shocked, her hands waved unconsciously, and she said again and again: "Big, big brother!" They hate us so much, why should we send them chairs? ”
Taijia said: "There is a saying called Enwei and Shi, although I scolded them, they still won't like you, do you plan to keep fighting with them like this?" ”
Hotaru lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
"Give them these things, and at least they will be willing to listen to you, and if you avenge your father at this time, they will also be willing to listen." "Of course, if you want your father to suffer infamy for the rest of your life, these chairs can also be sold to supplement the family's ......"
"I listen to my eldest brother!" Hotaru suddenly said in a loud voice, "Although, although I don't quite understand what the eldest brother means, the eldest brother has never lied to me!" ”
Taijia touched Yingyue's head dotingly, Yingyue enjoyed this moment very much, but her face turned red involuntarily, but fortunately, Taijia only thought that she was too hot and didn't think much about it.
"Come and do the big brother a favor!"
……
At the same time, deep in the woods.
"Are you sure it's this person?" A hoarse and deep voice asked, his elder's blue eyes, and his fingers pointed at the black dots hundreds of meters away, as if he could see clearly.
Another man with pale yellow eyes replied in a hoarse voice, "It must be this person!" This person has a huge scar behind him, and according to the results of the investigation in the past few months, there will be no second candidate! ”
"It's supposed to be a young man, right?"
The yellow-eyed man shook his head: "No, it is said that he is only eight or nine years old. ”
"Eight or nine? Are you playing with me? The blue-eyed man said in a hoarse voice, "The leader has said that he will never kill children or women!" Have you forgotten? ”
The yellow-eyed man smiled gloomily: "He looks like this, seven and a half feet tall, with a strong figure, who would believe him if he is a child?" Besides, the client gave too much money, and if you don't say it, I don't say it, how will the chief know that we have carried out an additional task? ”
“…… Are you sure you can hide it from the chief? ”
He smiled, "Don't forget what the leader said when he walked out of the tomb!" As long as our tribe gives money, we can do anything! The so-called non-killing of women and children just shows that we have a bottom line, are you really a benevolent person as a leader? Can a benevolent person do something to kill thirty-eight people in a village? ”
"But isn't Brother Luolan alive?" The blue-eyed man was still worried, "He's from that village!" ”
The yellow-eyed man was obviously impatient: "It was because he helped the leader kill someone that the leader let him go and took him in...... Anyway, do you dare to do this vote? If I don't do it, I can swallow the commission money alone! ”
“…… ! Done! ”
The two of them were like shadows, silently crossing the woods and coming to a place not far behind Taijia. Taijia had just cut out a wooden stick, and was about to ask Hotaru to cut a mortise and tenon from the end of the stick.
With the sound of the summer breeze, Taijia felt a chill down his spine, which was a feeling he had never felt before, as if a steel knife was against his neck, making him feel fear from the inside out.
"Murderous!" Taijia said secretly in his heart.
Since he began to practice martial arts, Taijia's nerves have become more and more sensitive; Although it was not as high as the level of Bi Ya, he could still clearly feel the excessive murderous aura leaked. His first instinct was not to find the killer, but to leave the ward Hotaru Tsuki!
He can be sure that the killer is coming at him, and in that case, whether he can escape this assassination or not, at least ensure Hotatsuki's safety!
His eyes cautiously glanced behind him, but he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, which made him even more vigilant. He coughed lightly and said to Yingyue: "Little sister, it's almost time for dinner, Uncle should come back, you go and help cook, big brother will go back later!" ”
Hotaru nodded obediently, he listened to Taijia's words very much.
The two people hiding in the tree looked at each other, and wondered why the client wanted to kill the boy. But they don't have a conscience, otherwise they wouldn't have come this way.
"Without that girl, we'd be better off!" A person's eyes hinted.
The other nodded, and took out a sharp dagger from his bosom, which burst out with a cold glow on a hot summer day, making people feel the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
"A kid, kill him in just a few seconds!" The man thought dismissively.
The Thai Armor still stood in place, searching for the so-called assassin by feeling; Suddenly, a cold white light flashed around his neck, although it was only for a moment, but Taijia quickly captured the position, his eyes changed suddenly, and he quickly took three steps back, with a crisp explosion and the rustle of the grass!
And at the same time as he retreated, two daggers arrived in an instant, like two meteors, three steps in front of the place where Taijia was just now! If Tai Jia only hesitated for a moment, there was a huge blood hole in his neck.
"Oops! Let him hide! The two complained to themselves.
"It must have been a coincidence!"
"It's not good, it's going to be discovered!"
Thaigar looked at the two daggers calmly, and did not seem to have begun to look for the assassin; The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they were just children, and they couldn't find their traces at all.
But they are careless when they think so......
Thagar looked in the direction of the two daggers, and then looked in the direction where he was standing, and in just three seconds, he deduced the exact location of the two assassins based on the similarity triangle theorem. A penetrating and haughty smile appeared on his face and disappeared in place.
"What about people?"
An Assassin couldn't help but ask, this was taboo as an Assassin. His eyes were full of suspicion, how could such a big person say that he would disappear if he didn't see it?
"Are you looking for me?"
A cold voice sounded behind the man, and before he could react, a strong arm directly strangled his neck. The man was shocked, and hurriedly raised his hand to fight back, but he didn't want the other hand of the Thai armor to be ready, and twisted his left hand so that his right hand could not exert force.
"What a speed!" The man was shocked, "This ...... Is this really a child? How did you grasp my tracks so quickly and subdue me in this instant? ”
Taijia asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
"Whoosh!"
Before the man could reply, a dart suddenly struck in the woods! Seeing this, Taijia hurriedly withdrew his hand, and the dart grazed the skin of his arm to cross the obstacle, and actually stabbed directly into the man's throat! The man screamed unwillingly, and looked viciously in the direction of the other, but the poison on the dart quickly attacked, and the life in his eyes quietly disappeared, and he died before he could even speak.
"What a ruthless heart!" Taijia was shocked, "In order not to expose himself, he would rather kill him!" ”
A cold sweat broke out on the back of the Thai armor, if he was stabbed by this dart just now, his life would definitely be lost!
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
Three more darts were fired, and the Thai armor knew that there was poison on this dart, how dare he take it hard? He panicked and hid behind a tree; After the dart "pong" stabbed the tree, the stabbed place spread black marks, which was extremely toxic and terrifying.
But after that, no more darts struck, and the Taijia knew that this killer must have only had so many darts. He breathed a sigh of relief, he was more afraid of this attack from the shadows than he was to fight the killer in the open.
"Since you want to kill me, then come out and meet me!" Taijia shouted into the forest.
No one answered him, only a knife as fast as the wind pierced through the jungle and pierced through the neck of the Thai armor......
