CHAPTER XX
Xu Ji opened the hatch first, turned back to Chen Zhi and said, "Uncle Zhi, go get some ......" Suddenly, halfway through the words, his face became painful and puzzled, so he faced the deck and went straight down, Chen Zhi behind him saw Xu Ji's back soaked in blood by the light of the sky and the not bright firelight that had not yet completely darkened, and an ordinary-looking man jumped out of the cabin, the short knife in his hand was still bloodstained, obviously he had been in ambush for a long time and shot out.
Chen Zhi touched his sword in the palm of his hand, his knuckles were already faintly white, obviously he was extremely angry, he stared at the not very strong man in front of him, and did not dare to move lightly. Chen Zhi could feel that although the man in front of him looked inconspicuous, he had a dangerous aura all over his body, obviously a killer who was used to licking blood with a knife, this person's eyes were cold, obviously there was no fluctuation because the target was a child, but he was afraid that he could be regarded as cold-blooded and ruthless. Chen Zhi didn't dare to make a move, Xu Jiheng didn't know whether he was alive or dead between the two, but Chen Zhi Zhilu said that he couldn't afford to wait, seeing that more and more blood was gushing out of Xu Ji's back, Chen Zhi Zhilu Dao didn't do it again, even if Xu Ji was not dead, he was dragged to death and couldn't die anymore.
Chen Zhi rushed forward with an arrow, and pulled out his sword in front of him, obviously intending to force back the killer, but this trick obviously didn't work, although he was holding a short knife, but this man was obviously not shallow in his skills, and he was more sinister, and he didn't care about Chen Zhi's sword, but he didn't care about stabbing Xu Ji who fell to the ground, Chen Zhi had to change his move to block for Xu Ji, but this change of move lost the opportunity, and then the killer was all aimed at Xu Ji, and there was no move at all.
However, he has no way to do this for Chen Zhi, as the so-called attack on the art of war must be saved, obviously Xu Ji is Chen Zhi's flaw, and there are several times in order to block the blade for Xu Ji Chen Zhi almost injured himself, Chen Zhi also understands, although this killer is not as good as himself, but it is almost the same, he is now controlled by others, and the shipwright at this time has been poisoned by this man even if he is not eating, I am afraid that no one will be able to take a hand.
Chen Zhi thought of this, a trace of cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he immediately changed his move, this sword is also a trick with no way out, obviously he has the heart to exchange injuries for injuries, this man saw that Chen was fierce and unhurriedly stepped on half a step and turned around, his right hand was a short knife, and he stretched out his left hand to catch Xu Ji who was lying in a pool of blood. Chen Zhi saw it clearly, and he was really stunned, and shouted: "The thief dares!" The hand was also hurriedly turned into a thorn, this man was not in a hurry, he stopped and took another half step into the short knife to play a trick, bypassing Chen Zhi's sword blade and was about to wipe it on Chen Zhi's wrist. Chen Zhi frowned, did not retreat but advanced, the sword move in his right hand did not stop, and his left hand grabbed the man's wrist.
Chen Zhi, who came and went between these short ten breaths, became more and more anxious, Xu Ji was afraid that he would not last so long, and Xun Kuang could probably hear the previous shouting, but his cabin was still not a short distance, if he couldn't capture this fang, the young master was only afraid............ Chen Zhi didn't dare to think about it anymore, his face sank like water and he stabbed straight again, the killer still didn't care about his own space, but at this time, an accident finally happened, Xu Ji, who was motionless before, staggered around, his pale face full of blood revealed a killing intent that made Chen Zhi afraid, there was no emotion in his eyes, only pure killing intent, his lips were dry without blood because of excessive blood loss, and they were tightly together, Xu Ji reluctantly avoided the short knife that stabbed him, and grabbed the assassin's hand fiercely with his backhand, The voice was dry and low: "Still... Not yet... Do it! ”
Xu Ji was originally seriously injured, and he was also a six-year-old child, so he would never be able to catch the assassin, but Xu Ji's expression and getting up had given Chen Zhi enough time, because the assassin had obviously not seen the cold killing intent that appeared in the eyes of such a young child, such a breath of sluggishness was enough for Chen Zhi, he stabbed into the assassin's chest without the slightest hesitation, and also snatched the short knife in the hand that Xu Ji grabbed and wiped the assassin's neck, the assassin looked shocked and fell to the sky, at the same time, Xu Ji also fell down with a free smile.
Xu Ji seemed to fall into an endless abyss, the people of the past and present lives were constantly reorganizing and disillusioned in front of his eyes, he tried to find an exit, but it was dark all around. The blurred images of human nature kept appearing in front of him, some of them were clear, some of them were never clear, and he wanted to touch them, but he couldn't reach them.
In reality, he has been in a coma for five days, and the fleet finally arrived in Xiangyang under the pressure of Xun Kuang.
"Uncle Zhi, how is Wen Lie?"
"Uncle Shi."
"Don't be polite, let's talk about what the doctor said." Xun Kuang, who stopped Chen from saluting, was obviously also very concerned about Xu Ji's condition.
"Yes, Uncle Shi. The doctor said that he lost too much blood and acted on his own, although he did not hurt his spine, but he ............ I'm afraid it depends on the young master's own will. ”
Xun Kuang let out a long sigh: "May the heavens have mercy, why is Wen Lie so miserable." Uncle Zhi, look at him, I will write to Wen Ruo. Then he turned and left.
And Xu Ji on the bed was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be in great pain.
The dream seemed to be unexpectedly long, Xu Ji still didn't find a way out, and gradually Xu Ji began to calm down and no longer tried to find an exit frantically, he stayed quietly in place and looked at these pictures as if they were reappearing.
On the third day of arriving in Xiangyang, an uninvited guest visited Chen Zhi, this person is not completely strange to Chen Zhi, she is the "young master's mother" who was run away by her own young master.
"He, how's it going?" Chen asked the little girl in front of him.
"The young master's injury is not light, but I'm afraid, it's difficult." Chen Zhi replied.
After hearing Chen Zhi's words, the little girl's face changed instantly: "Are you a waste?" Can't even protect your own master? Xu Ji is blind, right? How did you find a guard like you? Although his words were sharp, Chen Zhi had no way to refute it, it was indeed his own negligence that caused Xu Ji to suffer such an injury, and he was really not qualified to defend himself.
After saying this, the little girl snorted angrily, and then ordered the people who followed her to take over the escort of the ship where Xu Ji was, and then said to Chen Zhi: "Call Xun Kuang's bastard here." ”
Chen Zhi was stunned, and the little girl saw that he had no reaction and said loudly in dissatisfaction: "Don't go yet?" What are you doing here? ”
Chen Zhi had to leave speechlessly, and the little girl entered the cabin alone.
Xu Ji in front of him couldn't lie on his back because he was stabbed in the back, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but the blood stains that came out of the thick bandage were still a dazzling dark red. The little girl's tears fell in an instant, and she walked quickly to the bed, but she didn't dare to touch it. just sat down on the edge of the bed, muttering viciously, "Dengzizi" while wiping tears.
Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't last long, and in less than ten breaths, Xun Kuang hurried over under Chen Zhi's notice.
Obviously, Xun Kuang didn't dare to snub this eldest lady.
"Miss Yining, how do you have time to come to my little place?" Xun Kuang was also confused.
"Hmph, if I don't come, he's going to die! How do you protect it? Didn't Xun Wen ask you to take care of it? What's wrong with him, can you afford it? The little girl's face was counted, and Xun Kuang was as speechless as Chen.
"Miss Ben just arrived in Xiangyang and heard that he had an accident, so she didn't think about it......" Before she could finish speaking, the little girl choked up and couldn't speak, this person who was only a year older than her fell on the bed without moving, if it weren't for the faint breath, I was afraid that everyone would be considered dead.
"Xun Kuang, you go down, during this time, I will deal with the matter here." A person who looked like a guard leader beside the little girl said to Xun Kuang, and Xun Kuang hurriedly returned the salute and retreated.
Chen Zhi here was also deeply puzzled when he saw Xun Kuang's behavior: "Uncle Shi, why are you here?" ”
Xun Kuang took a deep look at Xu Ji's hatch and sighed: "Uncle Zhi, fortunately, this girl didn't care too deeply, otherwise you and I are afraid that we will not be able to escape death, your young master is quite a bit of Taoism, don't look at that little girl's young age, but her background is not small, and she seems to have a soft spot for your young master, with this girl, Wen Lie will be fine." ”
Chen Zhi shook his confused head, obviously not understanding.
Xun Kuang pulled Chen Zhi away, saw that no one was around, and said: "The origin of this girl is unknown, but the head of the family told me that I must treat each other respectfully, I estimate that if it is not a royal family, it is a hidden family, I am afraid that the power and ability are not small, that unruly girl seems to be a very favored junior, you see that the guards who follow her are all extremely restrained, obviously the old rivers and lakes." Besides, Wen Lie doesn't know what skills she has done, this girl loves Wen Lie so much, hehe, Wen Lie is afraid that it will be difficult. It is said that this girl also has a sister, and her sister's one was also through hardships back then, but Wen Lie will definitely not be in danger of her life. ”
Seeing that Chen Zhi still didn't understand, Xun Kuang didn't explain anymore, patted Chen Zhi's shoulder and said, "It's okay, in short, don't worry." ”
For the next three days, Xu Ji's cabin was not allowed to be approached by anyone, and all the degrees were arranged by a middle-aged woman with a gloomy face, and even Chen Zhi was not allowed to approach.
And Xu Ji is still in a coma, the little girl is taking care of herself on the side, to be honest, this is the first time this little girl has taken care of people like this, for this little girl, she is only willing to take care of this disciple who always wants to push herself away.
The little girl muttered while wiping the sweat on Xu Ji's head with wet wipes: "Dengzi, your life was saved by me, you are my person, I don't allow you to die, you can't die, don't want to escape, Miss Ben is looking all over the world to find you out." As he spoke, he showed a bright smile, smiled and smiled but began to cry again, crying and muttering: "You are not allowed to die, I will cry if you die, I don't want to cry, Xu Ji, you are not allowed to die." ”
And all this, Xu Ji is completely ignorant. There was a ray of light in his dream, but he couldn't reach it. The light was very small, but it was the only light, and what emerged in the misty darkness was a small face, Xu Ji knew who she was, but he suddenly didn't want to approach the light, because this face belonged to Yin Ning, who was taking care of him by his side.
In the dream, Xu Ji said: "If it's you, then I won't wake up, I can't afford that kind of love, Ning'er, I can't even protect myself, you, I don't want you to be hurt." ”
After speaking, Xu Ji reflexively sank into the darkness. And that face turned into a human form, following closely behind Xu Ji, not far or close, Xu Ji didn't look back: "Let me go, I don't want to bear it." ”
This shadow also spoke at the same time: "Why don't you dare to bear it?" Are you afraid? ”
This voice is also Xu Ji!!
Xu Ji in the shadows spoke: "I don't want to give me promises that I can't do, I don't want to waste other people's time and feelings. “
The faint figure glowing with light let out a sneer: "You're scared, you don't dare." Don't make any excuses, I'm you, I can clearly understand what you want, what do you want to hide from yourself? You obviously like her. ”
Xu Ji in the shadows suddenly became furious as if he had been stimulated by some terrible stimulus: "You shut up for me, like?" Do you know what it means to like? What do you know? You're just an incomplete me. ”
"I'm incomplete, and neither are you." The figure smiled and said: "I am the light, you are the dark, we are a complete one, it doesn't matter if you forcibly separate us as two parts, but you, without me, you are not complete." ”
Xu Ji in the shadows let out an arbitrary laugh: "So what? I'm me, you're you, I don't need anyone to tell me how to do it! ”
"Don't run away, you like her, she likes you, you don't dare to accept it because you're afraid to take it, aren't you also for her good? You haven't completely fallen into darkness because you still have feelings and aren't selfish enough! ”
Xu Ji in the shadows seemed to soften instantly: "Yes, I haven't clearly separated the two parts. ”
"Accept it, you're not fit to be a pure asshole." After saying that, the light and shadow pierced straight into the darkness, and the two lights and shadows mixed into Xu Ji's appearance in a fog.
"It's time for me to face my new life, and I can't escape."
