Chapter 38: A duel of life and death

The misty moonlight shrouded this sad land, the river roared wantonly, the fire burned in despair, and the shadows of darkness were everywhere in this deserted forest.

Ji Lie wanted to pick up the roasted hare, but his hand was weak, he was about to lift it up, it fell to the ground with a pop, and when it landed, the eyes of the hare were just on Ji Lie's gaze, one person and one rabbit, just the eyes of life and death.

There is no separation between the living and the dead.

Ji Lie was silent.

The woman thought for a moment, put down the bracken cake in her hand, and unloaded the rabbit meat into eight pieces with her short sword, so that Ji Lie would have the strength to pick it up, and here she did not want to feed him like a pig to the slaughter to-night, so she had given him some strength in the first two days. The living should be given the respect they deserve, even if the dead are not dead!

Ji Lie picked up a piece, fed it to the evil spirit, picked up another piece, put it in his mouth, and wrote on the ground with his hands while chewing silently.

"I finally know who you are."

"Who am I?" The woman of the night was very patient, and she slashed with her dagger.

Ji Lie's saliva was very precious, he used a little saliva under his tongue to soften the flesh on his tongue, and then ran down his throat, enduring the burning pain, there was something in his abdomen, and the strength in his body began to slowly recover, and he wrote with his fingers: "You are not a slave, you want to kill me for Xue Mi, right?" ”

The woman looked at the crooked words on the ground, took a bite of the bread, nodded silently, and shook her head firmly.

Ji Lie wanted to laugh, but he didn't, he picked up another piece of meat and fed it to the bird, this time, as if thinking about something, his fingers paused for a moment on the bound claws of Zhu Xie.

"If you feed your birds again, you'll be a starving ghost! When you're dead, I can spare your bird and let it fly away! The woman slashed with her sword, very hard, and the blade rustled through the grass and mud.

Ji Lie looked down at the unrecognizable evil spirit, smiled bitterly, and after a while, he stubbornly fed it another mouthful of meat and chewed it himself.

He gradually gained some strength, in order to make the evil eat less wasteful, he carried its ass with one hand, and stroked with the other: "You are not a slave of the fox clan, you must be Xue Miru's person, otherwise, why would you choose to kill me here?" ”

The woman rowed, "You are very wise, I have never seen a man as smart as you, but a wise man does not live long." ”

Ji Lie wrote: "I killed Xue Miru, and it is only right that you avenge him. ”

"You, so sure?"

The woman raised her head and stared at Ji Lie, who was hideous at the moment, and his face was densely covered with all kinds of wounds, although they were all skin wounds, but they looked so oozing, just like the wound on his neck, the skin and flesh turned out, but not red, but dark brown, and there was festering pus rolling inside. However, his eyes were still bright.

Ji Lie looked at the four pieces of hare meat in front of him, nodded, and wrote, "I'm dying, you should tell me." "Pick up a piece and feed it to the evil spirit, and eat a piece for yourself.

The woman was silent for a long time, and rubbed the bracken cake into her mouth so violently that she swallowed herself and coughed desperately. Ji Lie's eyes lit up, and at this time, the woman turned her head and glared at him.

Ji Lie looked at her for a long time, picked up the last piece of rabbit meat and fed it to the evil spirit, and wrote, "You don't have to say it. ”

"I'll tell you."

The woman lifted the kettle, poured it for a while, and then watched Ji Lie squirm his throat against the kettle, water, is the source of strength, she can make Ji Lie's physical strength recover a little, but she will definitely not give him too much strength, because along the way, she feels more and more unable to see through Ji Lie, this fool, this fool who is still in his infancy, his indifference to death, his patience with pain, occasionally makes her feel palpitations.

Tonight, though, it's all over.

After drinking enough water, the woman swung her short sword vigorously on the ground, leaving a neat line of handwriting: "The reason why I follow you, the reason why I remind you to stay away from danger, is because I want to kill you with my own hands, and now you know this better than anyone else." ”

Ji Lie nodded, closed his eyes with a painful expression, and then opened them.

"I'm not from Xue Miru, but I'm his daughter, should I take your life?" The woman raised her triangular eyes, watching for any slight change in Ji Lie's face.

It's a pity that Ji Lie still disappointed her, he just cracked his mouth and wrote a word: "Should!" ”

The woman walked like a snake, and slashed: "You are the devil, you are crueler than anyone else, you killed my father, but I can't read the slightest remorse on your face!" I torture you, I humiliate you, and when I see you in pain, I think of my father! ”

"How are you on the boat? Why do you pretend to be a fox fugitive slave? Ji Lie is still calm, as if he has seen through life and death, maybe with his current situation, life is better than death, it is better to die.

"Do you want to know who I am?"

After this sentence, the woman burst out laughing, and the tongueless laughter was as crazy as a ghost, and she was laughing all over her body, even the bare toes were trembling, because she knew that Ji Yeol would never guess who she was, but how ridiculous and ridiculous it was for her, because they had been facing each other for eight years.

In the midst of this laughter, the woman raised the kettle again, and let the water in the kettle wash against her dirty face and eyes, and when the water in the pot ran out, she lay down, knelt on the ground, crawled in front of Ji Lie, looked into Ji Lie's eyes, opened her empty mouth, and laughed silently.

Who, who?

Who is it!!

Ji Lie's eyes were shrinking, his shoulders were trembling, his mouth was shaking in panic, he forgot that he couldn't speak, he even wanted to raise his hand, grab the woman's shoulder, and ask loudly.

A person's face can change, and even the shape of the body can be changed with the help of certain things, but the eyes do not change, and when the cold water washes away all illusions and illusions, this woman is revealed, she is none other than the fat woman who used to live in the east,

A wave of desolation rose from the soles of his feet to his head, and then boundless anger filled Ji Lie's chest, and he was trembling all over, is she? How could it be her? It turned out to be her! It's her!! It's her, it's her, that's my father, oh my God!!

"Quack Quack ......"

The woman cracked her mouth and laughed strangely, she admired Ji Lie's angry expression, like the most evil poisonous widow spider, feeding on the pain of others, pulling out the short sword on the ground, and probing Ji Lie's neck little by little, yes, she wanted to take his life when he was in the most pain, only in this way can this unforgettable pain be left for his next life! Die, you little devil!

"Evil !!"

Ji Lie's roar of pain, the silent roar, right now! He jerked up the demon's buttocks, and the demon broke free from the rope of his claws, and pounced on the woman with great speed, and the long pointed mouth was deeply inserted into the woman's eyes.

"Ah!!h

The woman screamed, she shook her head desperately, but she couldn't shake off the evil spirit, the two claws of the evil person grabbed her neck tightly, and the sharp mouth stirred her eyeballs, but she still didn't let her go, trying to pierce the sharp mouth inside, as if trying to pierce her skull.

"Ah......h

The woman let out a wolf-like howl, and the more she hurt, the more she hated, and she did not deal with the evil spirit, but pointed the tip of her sword at Ji Lie's throat and pounced fiercely. Seeing that he was going to die, Ji Lie didn't have time to avoid it, grabbed the half-burned branch on the ground, and stabbed the woman in the neck with the last of his strength.

"Poof." "Poof." ”

Two muffled sounds, as if two layers of rags had been pierced, as if two dying people had finally breathed their last breath in unison, or, more likely, two long sighs.

The heavens and the earth are still, the cold moon is in a daze, the stars are no longer blinking, the river is also blank, only the firelight is still beating, it bends around, only Nana, silently showing its beauty.

……

Life is gone, and the sun will rise.

The gentle sunlight poured warmth into the place, and a little snow-white rabbit came from outside the woods, and was stunned as it approached the extinguished fire, frightened by what it saw.

For a long time, it shook its beard and sniffed, there was the freshness of the grass and trees in the morning breeze and the aftertaste of fire, and there was a smell that was both strange and familiar, it hesitated to get closer, and turned its little eyes to look east and west, suddenly, it saw a pile of gray-brown hair, flashed its eyes twice, as if it had not come back to its senses, and then, the pointed ears stood up suddenly, and then turned its head, and ran out of the forest without looking back.

"Wow!"

……

She is about to wake up, the sun is shining on the window, gently caressing the white face like jade, thin eyebrows, straight nose, small mouth, there are a few beads of sweat rolling on her cheeks, crystal clear, long eyelashes like the wings of a butterfly gently trembling, looking down from above, she is lying quietly on the bed, as if a delicate flower is blooming weakly.

"Houzi!"

Suddenly, she screamed, opened her eyes, and the little hand held in front of her chest pulled it tightly, she pulled it so tightly, as if she was still in a dream, trying to drag someone back.

"Houzi, Houzi."

She muttered in a low voice, her blank eyes gradually came back to her senses, but two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, she sat up and wiped away her tears, but because of this, she touched the wounds on her body, gasped a few times, and her beautiful little face was as white as paper.

A pair of strange weapons were placed on either side of her pillow, and she hid them in her wide sleeves, and then, leaning over to pick up the small shoes under the bed, put them on silently on the bed, slowly got out of bed, and walked towards the wall, where there stood a delicate sword stand, with a long sword lying across it. She took the sword, slung it on her back, and walked out of the house.

As soon as the door opened, the boundless sunlight instantly sprinkled all over her body, as if to inject a layer of light into her, she squinted her eyes and said to the people outside the door, "We have to go to find the marquis." ”

Outside the door, a group of people, tall and short, fat and thin, one of them, a strong man as strong as a bull, touched his bald head and asked, "Where should I go?" ”

"Yan Guo." She replied quietly.

Another man, who was blind in one eye and covered in wounds, but was carrying two large axes, asked, "How to get there?" ”

"Just go with it."

She squinted again, looked up, and a black bird pierced the sky and flew far away.
