Text Act IV: The Forbidden Realm_Chapter 166: The battle for the head of the family
Che Ling and the others have a simple but very hidden camp in the Black Beauty Great Forest, because the barrier of the floating island where they have been living has gradually become unstable, and the Black Stone Demon Clan has discovered their traces, they came to this place to take refuge, and created a plan to steal Shifang back to the floating island to destroy the Demon Blood Sacrifice Festival.
Now Dongfang Ziyan, Rhine and other six people came to the highland camp in the middle of the forest with Che Ling, after meeting Che Ling's other subordinates, out of consideration for the overall situation, Ziyan and they reached an agreement with Che Ling, ready to help them stop the demon clan's plan first, and then take Shifang back, after which they are ready to rest, planning to go to the floating island early tomorrow morning.
Late at night, Dongfang Ziyan really couldn't sleep, he got out of the sleeping bag alone, shot a few mosquitoes that were pestering people, climbed to the top of a tree, stood on the highest canopy, looked at the sky full of stars in a daze, suddenly, a hand slapped his shoulder from behind Dongfang Ziyan, Ziyan widened his eyes and was frightened, and immediately grabbed the person behind him by the arm, but he forgot that it was at the top of the tree, so the two of them lost their balance and fell to the thick tree under them.
Because it was too dark, Ziyan couldn't see the person's face clearly, but in the chaos, Dongfang Ziyan felt that the person's arm was very thin, and accidentally touched the other party's chest and felt quite soft.
"You want to scare me to death in the middle of the night!!" Dongfang Ziyan said.
"I'm keeping vigil! Look at you sneaking around in the trees, I want to see what you're doing! Yu Fei rubbed her sore knee and said, "Can you let go first?" ”
Dongfang Ziyan looked at his hand and found that he was still holding Yu Fei's arm, so he immediately let go.
Yu Fei sat on the tree and rubbed the knee of his right leg, and didn't speak again for a long time, Dongfang Ziyan felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he asked again: "We met on the field, and I also gave you the number ball, do you remember?" ”
"Remember, you were disguised as an old grandfather, and I didn't have time to ask you before you could give me your number ball?" Yu Fei looked up and smiled, revealing her beautiful teeth.
Dongfang Ziyan's heart trembled, looking at the girl's face, thinking that although Yu Fei looked very similar to Yan Wei's face, it was actually very different if she looked closely, compared to Yan Wei, Yu Fei was more cheerful and free.
"You look a lot like a friend of mine." Dongfang Ziyan said stunned.
"That's it?" Yu Fei's eyes widened, and her medium-long yellow hair was blown by the night wind.
"Hmm." Dongfang Ziyan responded lightly.
The air seemed to have suddenly become thinner, and the two of them sat quietly on the tree, and Yu Fei suddenly spoke again: "Dongfang Ziyan, you are only eighteen years old this year, right?" ”
"Yes." Ziyan responded, but didn't understand why she asked this.
"I'm eighteen years old, but I'm a child without a child, my parents died in the war when I was a child, and I'm an orphan." Yu Fei lowered her head and said.
"Coincidentally, I'm an orphan too, and I'm ...... There are no parents. Dongfang Ziyan looked at the emaciated girl, ruffled his hair and said.
Yu Fei turned her head to look at Ziyan, "Really?" ”
"Really, I haven't even seen my own mother's face, but she has always lived in my heart." Dongfang Ziyan looked up at the starry sky and saw that the stars were shining one by one.
"That's nice...... Even if my parents are gone, I can have a thought," Yu Fei also looked at the night sky, holding her cheeks with her hands, "Do you know, I was a baby who was abandoned on the battlefield, and was later picked up by my grandfather, my grandfather was the leader of the army, I grew up in the barracks, when I was ten years old, my grandfather died, and I was thrown out by the army, and then I wandered around, wandering in the city, wandering in the countryside, and also worked as a coolie, just to be able to eat, but I was often bullied, and it was a common thing to be beaten, Later, I met Lord Che Ling at the beach, at that time I didn't know that he was the Five Saints Che Ling, when he saw me, I was sleeping in the crack of the rocks by the sea, he came to me, woke me up, asked me if I was homeless, I said yes, he asked me if I would like to be his assistant part-time killer, he said that he would teach me the skills of killing, at that time I looked at him and said that as long as I was given food, then Lord Che Ling took me to the floating island, where there were dozens of people, as well as old people and women, Che Ling found a lot of people to call me the assassin attack technique, It wasn't until three years ago that I officially became Che Ling's assistant and assassin......"
As he spoke, Yu Fei pulled out his short knife from his waist, the dark golden short knife was flowing with cold light, and it was inlaid with black gems, "I have used this knife for eight years, it was given by Lord Che Ling, it turned out to be a pair, and the last time I escaped on the floating island, I lost one in the battle." ”
Suddenly, Dongfang Ziyan pressed down the short knife in Yu Fei's hand, took out two short knives from his sac eating belt, and put them in Yu Fei's hand.
It was a pair of double knives, two short knives emitted a dim golden light, even in the dark night it seemed to be shining, there was no gem inlay on it, but the overall shape was smooth, the tip of the knife was a curved thorn, the sharp edge of the knife seemed to flow with electric light, and there was a deep blood groove on the knife body, which was used to bleed the enemy as a killing weapon, and at first glance it was a masterpiece of a famous alchemist.
"This ......" Yu Fei looked at the double knives in his hand in surprise, and was speechless for a while, tears rolling in his eyes.
"This is the Seven-Star Gilt Knife, it is a double knife used by my mother when she was alive, it is very suitable for a girl like you, I heard my brother say that this is made by the ghost craftsman Tie Qiusheng in his spare time......" Before Dongfang Ziyan finished speaking, Yu Fei suddenly kissed him on the lips, and Dongfang Ziyan's mind was blank.
"What are you doing?" It took Ziyan a long time to react, wiped his lips and said.
"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to owe you anything, I took your knife, and I'm on patrol." Yu Fei smiled with red eyes, stuck out her tongue at Dongfang Ziyan, turned around and jumped to another tree with the Seven Star Brilliant Knife, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Then why are you crying·····" After Yu Fei walked for a long time, Ziyan said silently, and then there was a gust of evening wind, he felt a little cold, so he took out the box of cigarettes that Rhine gave him from his pocket, lit one himself and smoked it.
He closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, this pair of double knives was given to him by Dongfang Lie a long time ago and asked him to find a chance to give it to Yan Wei, but now he gave it to other girls, although he broke his promise, he didn't feel sorry for Yan Wei, he often told himself that what he owed Yan Wei and what Yan Wei owed him had already been paid off.
In fact, have you forgotten that Yan Wei may not be so important to Dongfangzi, in his sensory world, the relationship between children and daughters is not so important, maybe it is very important in his heart, but he doesn't know, many times he is such a confused person, since he was a child.
Thinking about it, Dongfang Ziyan fell asleep leaning against the tree branches under the caress of the drunken rainforest night breeze, his hand drooped, and the cigarette butt that was still burning between his fingers fell into the wet mud on the ground, and it was extinguished with a sting, and a wisp of green smoke came out.
