She wants to torture me, she is enjoying this pleasure, I can't be cowardly and I can't bow my head, otherwise she will lose this desire and kill me immediately, Ji Lie thought to himself.

He must live, there are many promises waiting for him to fulfill, and now, those promises have a few more, for example, let the one-eyed life who hurt Xiaoyu be worse than death, punish Song Boyo, and even one day, he will go to Song Guoyun City to visit that grandfather, put a sword around his neck, and then ask if his heart is made of iron or flesh! Of course, the premise of all this is to live, and to live, you must endure!

"Tick, tick."

The blood dripped on the ground one by one, Ji Lie felt the pain of peeling his skin, the woman slanted a pair of triangular eyes, stared at Ji Lie's facial expression firmly, and lifted the sword in her hand slightly upward, against Ji Lie's flank. Suddenly, the pain was like ten thousand ants piercing his heart, and Ji Lie stubbornly fainted.

When he awoke, the horrific wound was coated with mud and pain, and the woman was sitting cross-legged by the fire, skinning the dead rats, washing them in a dish of water, and throwing them into the boiling iron pot.

The woman sprinkled some dried leaves into the pot, and the rich aroma immediately leaked out.

Smelling this aroma, Ji Lie's stomach growled uncontrollably, and even the evil bird hanging on his neck and pretending to be dead no longer pretended to be dead, it stared directly at the pot, and Madou's eyes showed a hungry gaze. One man and one bird, and I didn't eat for a whole day and a night.

The woman ate three large rats, gagged Ji Lie with the remaining one, and then went to another corner, turned her back to Ji Lie, squatted down, and curled up like an old poisonous snake about to go into hibernation.

The rat meat was stewed very fragrantly and very strong, Ji Lie chewed the meat silently, with his teeth and tongue, the evil bird hanging upside down on his neck was also pecking at the meat in Ji Lie's mouth, and it bent its neck in an exaggerated arc.

The night was very long, and the woman did not torture him and his birds any more.

In the morning, when it was dawning and it was raining outside the house, the woman carried Ji Lie out and walked along the muddy road at the end of the village to the distant mountains.

The mountains were full of trees and thorns, but when they entered the mountain, the rain was light, and the woman carried Ji Lie and climbed quickly, and looked back from time to time.

What is she looking at? Could it be that she is still suspicious that someone will chase her? What was she afraid of? Could it be that you are afraid of Xiaoyu? Maybe it's Song Rang's sword! Thinking of Xiao Yu and Song Rang, Ji Lie's heart hurt like a knife stirring a needle, and regret wrapped him tightly layer by layer.

I don't know how long it has been, half a day, or a day? The woman climbed over the mountain, but Ji Lie's eyes were tightly closed, his mind was no longer clear, and his whole person was like a rotten linen cloth.

Faintly, Ji Lie heard the sound of rolling wheels, and he tried his best to open his eyelids, but there were only trembling trees and stones hidden in the mud and grass in front of him.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw a blackbird parked in the treetops, pecking at its claws while making a cry like a wheel, Ji Lie knew that this bird was a ghost car, also called Jiufeng, a bird endemic to the Tairi Mountains, and legend has it that they brought death.

The woman stared hatefully at the bird in the treetops, and quietly picked up a stone, trying to kill it, but the bird was so alert that it had already screamed and rushed into the sky before the stone could fly.

The woman's steps were faster, and in the midst of the sharp jolt, Ji Lie fainted again.

When he woke up again, the sun had risen, and he was lying on the woman's shoulder, passing through a lively village, where a little smoke was rising in the green mountains and green waters, and not far away, a group of little children were playing on the ridges, and several dogs were playing and running, and one of them came to smell the woman, but she glared at her fiercely.

The dog, with his tail between his legs, fled.

The woman's shoulders were so hard that Ji Yeol's chest hurt, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't speak, and the warm wind entered his mouth and exploded like a knife in his throat.

The pain was so great that Ji Lie couldn't even scream, and could only conssure on the woman's back, and his bird trembled on his back.

Ji Lie was dumb.

……

The moon sets and the sun rises, day after day.

Jilie struggled on the brink of death, and the woman took him from place to place, sometimes to town with a group of beggars, and sometimes to a village as a common commoner.

On this day, the woman carried him on her back to the back of a pass, which was very familiar, and it carried two pincers like a giant scorpion, and on the tips of the pincers held two tall stone statues.

Scorpion Guan, Chen Guo.

What did she come back for?

Ji Lie wanted to think about it seriously, but he didn't even have the strength to think, and hung on the woman's back like rotten meat.

The woman put Ji Lie under a pale old locust tree and went to the well next to her to draw water to drink, and the two little beggars squatted under the tree and looked at Ji Lie with ill will.

Ji Lie knew that they were afraid that he would fight with them for pity and land, and on the way here, the woman had put him in a dark corner many times, waiting for a knife coin or an ant-nose coin from a passer-by. Of course, the woman didn't need the money, she was just humiliating him.

"You ugly bastard, get out of the way!"

The little beggar stretched out a finger and poked Ji Lie, but he didn't want to, just this poke, Ji Lie lay on the ground like a clay fetus.

"Oh, you dare to slander me! You kid haven't inquired, I'm a tyrant in Jingcheng! Hara jumped up exaggeratedly, far away from Ji Lie, seeing that Ji Lie was still motionless, only his eyes were turning, so he hesitated to step forward and kicked Ji Lie, afraid that Ji Lie would fight back, and ran away quickly. And then again, like a cat with a broken tail that is trying to attack.

The mud bird around Ji Yeol's neck wanted to peck him, but he didn't.

"Stop fighting, the benefactor is coming!" The other little beggar, who had been standing by and watching, screamed, and quickly squatted down, looking blankly into the distance, looking so innocent and pitiful.

"Crunch."

The peculiar sound of the wheel rolling over the yellow mud road sounded in Ji Lie's ears, he didn't have the strength to turn back, quietly watched a small stone rolling around in the dirt nest, and the evil bird called twice instead of him, but it was so dumb, not like a Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, but like a duck that was trampled on its neck.

The sound of the wheels was getting closer and closer, Ji Lie heard the sound of coins falling into the dirt, heard the sound of bumping and knocking, and gradually, the wheels of the carriage rolled over the shadow under the tree and came to Ji Lie's eyes, the wheel was extremely gorgeous, the bearing was inlaid with copper sheets, and a white elk was engraved on it, lifelike.

Will you throw me money? Ji Lie silently closed his eyes.

"Flowerbeard, there's a more pitiful one here, don't forget him!"

At this moment, a unique, incomparably crisp voice sounded gently, as soon as this voice sounded, Ji Lie opened his eyes, tried his best to sit up, but had no strength, he twisted his neck frantically, opened his mouth wide, and wanted to shout, but only made an ugly 'uh-ah' sound, like scraping a pot.

"It's pathetic, give you a little more."

A blue skirt flashed in front of him, and under the skirt was a pair of beautiful shoes in aqua blue, the shoes were very small, embroidered with beautiful gladiolus, and there was a faint hint of fragrance, and a snow-white hand poked down and entered Ji Lie's eyes little by little.

She put the three yellow ant-nose coins in front of Ji Lie, in the small stone rolling nest.

"Uhhh......hh

Ji Lie shouted, his voice was like a devil in hell, and the woman who gave him the money was startled, covered her nose, and avoided it in disgust. Then, the beautiful blue shoes went farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared into the sunlight, and the carriage went, while Ji Lie stared in the shadows of the trees where the sun could not reach.

As soon as the carriage was gone, two little beggars surrounded them, and they looked directly at the money in the nest, and their eyes showed greed. The two glanced at each other hurriedly, and stretched out their hands towards the nest at a lightning speed, but they didn't want to, but the two hands touched together, and then, they scuffled, fighting for the money that originally belonged to Ji Lie in front of Ji Lie.

Ji Lie looked at it coldly and opened his mouth. In the end, Haratou won the victory, and ran away with the money and disappeared, while another little beggar rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth of Ji Lie.

The woman walked over, her hands down, her head bowed, and she looked at Ji Lie.

"You, are you in pain?"

……

The woman did not enter the city, she walked through the wild forest, she scurried in the mountains, and when she stopped again, Ji Lie heard the sound of water.

Eight hundred miles of the Yuan River flowed, running from east to west.

The woman stood on the bank of the river with Ji Lie in her arms, her pair of triangular eyes fixed on the place where the warships of the past had sunk, the quiet bay of the river.

During the night, the woman lit a fire in the place where she had camped, and took a bracken cake stand from the rag bag and baked it on a branch.

Ji Lie sat beside her, and in front of him lay a well-roasted hare, and when she had finished baking the bracken cake, she took out a branch from her bosom, half of which was burned by the fire.

The woman put the twig at her feet, cut the belly of the hare with a short sword, took some oil from it, rubbed it evenly with her fingers, and took a bite with her eyes closed, and laughed beautifully.

The evil bird leaned over with great difficulty, trying to peck at the fragrant hare meat, but this time, instead of striking it, the woman gently stroked its mud-stained, hard head, and cut off a piece of meat with a short sword, and fed it into its mouth.

"Eat!" The woman made a mark on the ground with her dagger.

"I'm dying!" Ji Yeol stretched out his trembling fingers and wrote on the ground.

"If you eat it, you'll die better." The woman tilted her head to look at Ji Lie, her eyes were no longer evil and cruel, and there was an indescribable rhyme in her gray eyes, as if she was very sad.

"I know I don't have to live tomorrow."
