Chapter 19: The Night Attack of the Mongolian Bandits
Everyone was listening to Ming Zhugong's explanation of the business scriptures, and suddenly found that Ling Xue's chair was empty, and the person had disappeared, and he didn't know when he left.
"I'm a little tired, too." At this time, Ming Zhugong was also a little worried about Ling Xue, so he got up and left his seat, and told Ming Yu: "You guys go and see Xue'er,"
Seeing this, Ximen Liu Huameng and the others got up and retired with interest.
Ximen Yun didn't know where to go or stay, hesitated for a long time, glanced at Mingyu with his eyes, and saw that Mingyu ignored him, and his heart was greatly lost, so he left slowly and unhappily.
Song Qi and Ming Yu also got up and watched Ming Zhu'an serve Ming Zhu Gong into the back room, and then the two of them went out separately to find Ling Xue......
Three hundred meters away from the Fulin Temple, there is a small river, and there is a cross-river covered bridge on the river, called the Smelling Fragrance Corridor. Under the bath of the moonlight, I only saw the sparse shadow obliquely, but I heard the sound of birds and streams, like a dream.
At this time, Ling Xue reflexively sat on the railing of the covered bridge, and sighed incessantly, "Alas...... Alas...... Alas......"
Before Song Qi reached the bridge, he heard Ling Xue's sigh, and sighed to her voice. When Ling Xue heard this, she was startled, and suddenly turned around, and saw that Song Qi had come not far behind her at some point, so she said angrily: "What are you doing, scare me!" ”
Song Qi got on the bridge, sat down beside her, and said: "I just sighed, and you said it scared you!" You've sighed eighteen! You say how scary you are! ”
Ling Xue grinned toothily and asked blankly, "Are there so many?" ”
"Yes." Song Qi nodded and asked again, "What are you thinking?" Such a sigh! ”
\"I want my father to die tragically at the hands of the enemy, his head is in a different place, the great revenge has not been avenged, and he can't be blinded under the nine springs. I am now sending someone under the fence, when will I be able to avenge my father? Ling Xue said sadly, as she spoke, tears streaming down her face...
When Song Qi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, so he moved a few steps closer, patted her shoulder, and comforted her politely: "Xue'er, your father's revenge must be avenged, but it is not at a moment, as the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" ”
"I know that, too, but it's sad to think about it!" Ling Xue sobbed, paused, and said pitifully: "But on this island, even if you wait for a hundred years, you can't take revenge!" ”
"You're right." Song Qi sighed, looked at Ling Xue and asked. "And what do you mean?"
Ling Xue lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "I want to leave here in a few days!" ”
"Get out of here?" Song Qi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then where are you going?" ”
"I don't know......" Ling Xue said, and couldn't help but sigh again......
The two were silent, and they didn't hear the crows for a long time, only hearing the croaking of frogs in the water, which made the Mid-Autumn moonlit night even quieter.
Ling Xue was dazed, staring blankly at the moon in the water, and suddenly looked at Song Qi and said, "I want to go to Anhaiguan to find Uncle Jin." \"
Song Qi thought about it and felt that it was a good idea to go to General Jin, and said, "Your father was called by Uncle Jin and died because of him, and he should be responsible for you!" ”
Ling Xue's hand inadvertently touched the corner of her clothes and asked softly, "Will you go with me?" ”
"Go, go together, we live and die together!" Song Qi said without thinking.
When Ling Xue heard this, she was overjoyed, and she got closer, her eyes staring at Song Qi's eyes warmly, and she asked softly, "Is what you said true?" ”
"It's true!" Song Qi said with a smile.
Ling Xue burst into tears and smiled, and a smile appeared on her face. After a while, he asked again: "Then are you willing to Sister Mingyu?" ”
"This ......" Song Qi was stunned by the question. It has been more than four months since I first saw Mingyu, and it has been almost half a month since I came to the island to get along day and night. At the mention of Mingyu, Song Qi's mind immediately conjured up with a long hair, a smiling face, and a moving figure, just like a beautiful figure like an angel......
Seeing that he lowered his head and didn't speak, Ling Xue suddenly felt a loss, so she snorted in her nose and sneered, "It seems that you are reluctant!" ”
Song Qi saw that Ling Xue was a little angry, so he sneered and said, "I promise to go with you, and I will follow you wherever you go." Isn't that okay? What does it matter if you are willing or not? "If you are willing to go, you will go with me, if you are not willing to stay, let me go alone!" Ling Xue said angrily as she twisted her head to the side.
"You're going alone? How can that be? I promise your dad to take care of you! Song Qi hurriedly said.
Ling Xiao looked back slightly, stared at Song Qi's eyes, and asked, "Since you agreed, why are you reluctant?" ”
Song Qi was speechless, so he had to sigh and turn his head.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of the wall in the distance, and disappeared in a flash, he wiped his eyes, and then looked closely, and there was nothing, only to see a tree swaying gently there. Maybe it's because the wind blows the trees, and I'm dazzled.
\"No wonder you can't find anyone, so you're here!" Suddenly, Mingyu's laughter came from the bridge.
Ming Yusheng arrived, walked on the covered bridge in three steps and two steps, and laughed at the two of them: "You two are good at me, who is not willing to give up whom?" ”
Song Qi saw that Mingyu was coming, so he hurriedly got up and greeted him and sat down.
Ling Xue's face turned red suddenly, fortunately she was hiding in the shadow of the moonlight, and it was not easy to notice, so she hurriedly got up and covered it up: "I want to leave here in two days, but I am reluctant to Sister Mingyu in my heart!" ”
Mingyu took Ling Xue's hand, with a smile in her eyes, and said softly, "Why do you want to leave?" If you don't want to, don't leave. Our sisters are together every day, happy, happy, how good. "I'm going to take revenge on my father's killer!" Ling Xue lowered her head and said softly, her voice obviously lacking confidence.
\"How can you take revenge on a little woman? Let's wait until you're older! Mingyu smiled and hooked her nose with her fingers.
Ling Xue's eyes were filled with tears, and she said with sadness: "The revenge has not been avenged, my father will not be blind to death, and I will not be able to eat sweetly, and I will not sleep well!" ”
"But you're still a child! If you want to go, my father won't agree, otherwise how can he deal with your father's spirit in the sky? Mingyu persuaded.
"I'm not a child, I'll be sixteen years old during the Chinese New Year!" Ling Xue hurriedly distinguished, "And Brother Song also agreed to go with me!" ”
Mingyu glanced back at Song Qi, and when he saw Song Qi nodding silently, he smiled at Ling Xue and said, "What's the use of him going?" He doesn't know martial arts, so he has to rely on you to protect him! How can he help? He can only help if he goes! ”
Ling Xue listened, looked at Mingyu, and then at Song Qi, and stopped talking again, at a loss.
Mingyu raised her hand and gently stroked Ling Xue's hair, patiently comforting: "Revenge is not a moment. I think you'd better go back in a year or two. In the past two years, the two of us will teach Brother Song to practice martial arts together, and when he knows martial arts, I can only help when I go with you. What do you think? ”
Ling Xue was unwilling, but she didn't say anything to refute, so she pursed the corners of her mouth tightly and hung her head speechlessly.
At this moment, suddenly there was an exclamation from the front room, "Catch the thief!" Then there was the sound of swords clashing and fighting. Listening to its direction, the sound came from the Hanzhang Courtyard where Ming Zhu Gong lived.
When Mingyu heard the sound of fighting, his face changed, and he said, "It's not good!" He hurriedly got up and ran in the direction from which the voice came.
Song Qi was startled and ran over. While running, he blamed himself for being too careless, and the so-called thief must be the shadow that dangled in front of his eyes just now. Ling Xue then chased after her.
As soon as the three of them entered Hanzhang Courtyard, Hua Meng rushed in from outside the door with many family guards. There were two people fighting in the middle of the courtyard, and the two figures swayed in the moonlight, and the two cold lights flickered, dazzling. I vaguely saw that one of them was a black-clothed masked bandit, and the other looked like Feng Dan, the head of the guard of Dream Island.
Suddenly, the eyes of the onlookers flickered, and one of them jumped onto the roof at some point, and the person behind him was like a black swimming dragon, and followed on the roof, and the two continued to play ping-pong on the roof.
The two have a light gait and are agile. The crowd couldn't help but cheer. Song Qi also stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked up.
Mingyu rushed into the hall in a panic, and saw Ming Zhu An helping Ming Zhu Cheng to come out of the room. settled down in a panicked mind, took three steps and two steps to grab her father's hand, and asked eagerly, "Dad, are you okay?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ming Zhu Gong patted Mingyu's arm and smiled casually, "Don't you see I'm unscathed." How many winds and waves have your father and I experienced, how can these thieves withstand me? ”
"Great winds and waves come from the light, and these thieves come from the darkness. There is a way that open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. Mingyu swept the messy hair on his chest, his eyes looked out of the door, his eyes were gloomy, and he said worriedly, "Dream Island is so well defended, this thief can actually go to the island silently and enter the courtyard, it is really chilling to think about." ”
Ming Zhu'an thought back to the scene just now, and was afraid, so he interjected from the side: "Yes, Miss is right." It seems that the defense of the island needs to be greatly strengthened! ”
At this time, Hua Meng also held the long sword in his hand, and jumped onto the roof with a slight touch of his toes.
The bandit wielded a knife in his right hand, and threw his left hand at Hua Meng, only to hear a whoosh, and a cold light came like lightning in front of Hua Meng. Hua Meng did not dodge, but went to the cold light, waved his sword halfway, only to hear a "ding" sound, knocked the hidden weapon down on the roof, and then rolled down with a bang.
Seeing that the hidden weapon was knocked down, the bandit wanted to send a second one, but it was too late, Hua Meng had already floated in, and the long sword flashed with cold light, and went straight to the masked man's face door.
Meng Bandit and Feng Dan just fought to a draw, and with Hua Meng, who had higher martial arts, where could he parry, he hurriedly jumped from the back of the house with a false move, fled in the wilderness, and disappeared into the moonlight.
Hua Meng and Feng Dan saw that the bandits wanted to escape, so they also jumped from behind and chased after them. When the family saw that the bandits had descended from the roof, they chased them around the corridors on the left and right sides of the hall.
Song Qi looked up so that his neck was sore, and at this time he also followed Jiading to chase after him. He thought to himself, he saw the shadow of the bandit earlier and didn't remind Mingyu in time, he was responsible, and he must try his best to help catch the bandit at this time, so as to atone for his crimes, otherwise he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Ling Xue bent down and picked up the hidden weapon that rolled down from the roof from the ground, held it heavily in her hand, and looked at it, it turned out to be an extremely sharp dart, flashing with a faint green light.
She gasped, threw the dart on the ground, and hurriedly chased in the direction where Song Qi's back disappeared
