Chapter 17: The Girl and the Teacher
On a small island in the middle of the lake, there are a few small wooden houses hidden in the middle of the trees, and you can faintly see a wisp of cooking smoke rising, like a retreat of monks, full of peace and tranquility.
In the wooden house, a young girl was lying on the bed, her eyes were closed, her brows were tightly locked, and the corners of her mouth were constantly squirming, as if she was having some nightmare. And if you look closely, you can also find that there are a lot of bandages on her body, obviously with some injuries before.
I don't know how long it took, but the girl finally opened her eyes slowly. There seemed to be a hint of confusion in the blurred eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of him, his lips were a little dry and squirmed, and finally he almost whispered: "This is ......"
"Ah, you're awake." The sound of pushing the door sounded, and along with the familiar voice came in a very familiar figure of a young girl.
Uh-huh...... The girl just wanted to sit up, but was held down by the other party, "Wait, don't move, the injuries on your body are not healed yet, and your body is still very weak, lie down first." ”
"Well......" Feeling the pain and powerlessness coming from her body, the girl could only lie down again, looked at the familiar figure in front of her, opened her mouth, and when the words came to her mouth, she found that she didn't know how to speak.
"You lie down first, I've already cooked the porridge, I think you're hungry too, wait a minute."
It's still the familiar figure, the familiar face, and even the voice is still the same as the original, plain and gentle. But for some reason, the girl felt a sense of distance. It's not that the other party is keeping a distance from themselves, but that they don't know how to face it.
Seeing that the other party's figure was about to disappear outside the door, the girl finally mustered up the courage to call out to the other party: "Huiyin...... The teacher ......, "The voice was so small that even she wondered if she didn't shout it at all, but it just echoed in her heart."
But the other party still stopped, turned around, and said, "What's the matter, Ah Li." Is the wound still painful? "Bland, yet gentle, as always.
"It's not...... I...... I ......", opened his mouth, obviously had a lot to say, but in the end he spit out only a dry apology: "I'm sorry ......"
The other party shook his head, "Ah Li, it's not your fault. It's better that you believe in me as always, and that makes me happy. It's actually me who should apologize, I'm really sorry for lying to you all the time. ”
Hearing this, the girl named Ah Li struggled excitedly to sit up: "That's not the case, I know, Teacher Huiyin, you won't do that kind of thing, obviously you are the one who has been guarding everyone!" Everyone's misunderstood, I ......"
"Okay, I understand, don't get too excited." , Huiyin hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "You have injuries on your body, although they are all ordinary skin injuries, but if you move around, you may leave scars." It's not nice to have a scar on a girl's body. ”
“…… Well...... I...... Ahem...... "A-Li, I wanted to say something, but I soon started coughing. Her health has always been bad, and coughing and wheezing are even more common.
Huiyin helped her and stroked her back to help her breathe.
Finally, Ah Li slowly stopped coughing and calmed down a little. But soon, as if remembering something urgent, she raised her head again and grabbed the other party's sleeve: "No! Teacher Huiyin, you can't stay here any longer! Get out of here now! It's dangerous here! ”
Huiyin paused, and then said with a smile: "Ah Li, don't worry, this place is very hidden, and ordinary people can't find it." If you want, you can also stay here to recuperate, your physique is still too poor, you should pay more attention to rest. ”
Ah Li shook his head and said hurriedly: "That's not the case, Teacher Huiyin, I, my father, they, they have hired someone to deal with you, you must leave here immediately, it is very dangerous here!" ”
"Forehead......" Huiyin looked sideways, thought for a moment, and then said, "Do you mean those exorcist onmyoji who came here to make trouble before?" Don't worry, with their little three-legged cat kung fu, they can't threaten me. I taught them a lesson and drove them away. ”
"It's not this, it's different this time, they'...... Ahem...... "Ahem" said excitedly, Ali couldn't help coughing again.
Finally catching her breath, Ah Li grabbed the other party's arm tightly, stared at her and said, "Teacher Huiyin, this time is different from before, the person who came this time is too dangerous, he and those people before him are not at the same level of existence at all!" ”
"Oh, is it the Great Onmyoji or the Great Sword Master, or are the two joining forces?" When Huiyin heard this, there was a hint of amusement on her face, and she regretted a little: "Don't be so nervous, don't worry, it's okay." You're coming to me this time to warn me, don't do that next time. Your body can't tolerate you to do that. ”
Ah Li shook her head firmly, although she had been secretly worried when she heard that her clan was looking for an exorcist, she also believed that Huiyin would not be defeated so easily. And the fact is also the same, those so-called exorcist onmyoji who were invited also returned one by one, which made her can't help but let go of a big stone in her heart.
But this time, it's completely different, the level of the person who came is completely different, even if all the previous exorcists and onmyoji are combined, I'm afraid they are not as dangerous as the other party alone.
And it was only after hearing the news that he couldn't suppress the worry in his heart at all, and quietly escaped to report the news. In the end, I was almost caught, if I hadn't been noticed by Huiyin somehow in the end, I'm afraid ......
"Teacher Huiyin, listen to me, this time my father and they invited the Sword Saint, who is famous today. It is said that the demon ...... who died at his hands Uh, well, the enemies are simply countless. Even the rumored 'Great Monster' has fallen into his hands! ”
Huiyin was stunned, as if she was still thinking about who it was, "Sword Master?" ”
Ali Du was dying, "Yes, it's the rumored Sword Saint. Teacher Huiyin, hurry up and go, otherwise it will be too late! ”
Huiyin was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter what kind of sword saint or sword god he is." Even if you come here, I'll clean him up all over the floor. ”
"Huiyin-sensei!!" Ah Li almost didn't shout, but after thinking about it, he slowed down, and then said slowly but firmly: "Teacher Huiyin, I know that you are very strong, and ordinary monsters or exorcists are not your opponents at all!" But this time the people who came were really different! You don't have to stay at risk! As long as you get out of here, then he won't be able to find you, you ......"
"Alright, don't talk about it." Huiyin pressed her fingers against the other party's lips and stopped her, "Ah Li, you are not in good health now, and you are injured, if you don't rest well, it will affect you in the future." Don't worry, even if the other party really has the rumored strength, I can protect myself. You have to have more faith in me, too. ”
"But......" Ah Li wanted to argue, but the other party's next sentence silenced her
"And, if I'm going to leave like this, what are you going to do?"
This question made her speechless all of a sudden. In order to report the news, she specially escaped from the clan. If Huiyin really left like this, then her fate can be imagined. Especially now that the clan is revealing an air of madness from the inside out. Even her father made her feel extremely strange and terrible.
Although she understood her father's feelings, the terrifying weirdness and strangeness still made her feel a chill in her heart. It felt like a different person......
"Okay, you can rest here in peace, and I'll find a way to solve the rest." Huiyin helped her lie down again, left these words and turned around and went out. She was left alone, staring at the window in a daze, her mind full of confusion.
Why, this is the case......
