Centrifugal Mantra (Hundred Miles Promise)
The clouds were thick, and it seemed like a rain was coming.
"Brother, it's going to rain, let's go back quickly." The red-haired boy's voice was childish, with a hint of solicitation and expectation in his voice.
"Okay." The young man who was called Brother was thin and tall, and he petted his head dotingly.
"Can my brother cook something for Xuan Ce at night? Xuan Ce was hungry. The little boy's big eyes innocently looked at his brother, who was so much higher than him, and asked seriously.
"Of course, what does Xuan Ce want to eat?"
"Braised fish!"
"Don't be naughty, or I won't do it for you." The elder brother deliberately teased him with a cold face.
"I'm super well-behaved, good brother.."
"Alright, let's go home."
When passing by Yunsonggang, the tall and thin boy suddenly stopped. His gaze became sad and sad, and rain fell on his shoulder.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" The young man asked puzzled.
"Nothing, let's go."
He withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes.
This thin and tall boy was once known as the Shadow Spear.
He once walked through Yang in 100 steps, and he didn't miss a shot.
It was a year ago, and he came here to train as usual, and met a girl named Aning.
"What are you fighting?" The woman who appeared at some point suddenly spoke up, startling him.
"You're not going to hit the leaves on that tree, are you?" She asked him with a little incredulity, and there was a deep drunkenness in her voice, thinking that she had just drunk.
"Yes." He replied.
Then he heard laughter as crisp as a wind chime.
"You are a hunter, you don't hunt hares or birds, what are you doing here to hunt leaves?" Her eyes were crooked like crescent moons.
"I'm not a hunter." His voice was clear, like rain over the air.
The girl hurriedly said again: "I know, you are not a hunter, you are a madman. ”
She was dressed in red and slightly debauched, and her language was a little frivolous.
"Who are you?" He looked at her and asked with a frown.
"My name is Aning, what about you?"
"Hundred miles to keep the promise."
"What? Are you the sharpshooter?! She had a drunken look on her face, confused.
He nodded, and added, "I'm just a sniper, and I don't dare to be called a sharpshooter." Did the girl drink? ”
"Why don't you dare to be, I know, you are the famous Shadow Sharpshooter." She replied, as if she was a little dizzy.
He came to her aid, and she fell into his arms.
The light of the moon fell on the beautiful face of the maiden, who had fallen asleep. The eyelashes are as long as butterfly wings, creating a small shadow in the moonlight.
He took her with him and went home.
"Brother, who is this sister?" The little boy's eyes flashed wide.
"My brother doesn't know each other, my sister is drunk, let her rest here for a while."
As they went out, her eyes slowly opened.
She didn't explain why she was on the hill or why she was drunk. Just tell him that she has no home and has wandered here.
The kind Shou kept her at home and gave her her brother's room.
"Thank you." She whispered. "Sharpshooter, must have killed a lot of people."
"The duty lies. My mission is to guard the Great Wall. ”
Her smile was as beautiful as a city, "I admire you very much, your gun is so accurate." "I look envious and a little obsessed.
Shou Yu was embarrassed by her, and lowered her head: "The girl is going to make fun of her." Then from now on, you can live with us. ”
The life of two people with my younger brother every day suddenly became three people, which was much more interesting.
Half a year has passed.
She helped them do the laundry and sewing work, and Xuan Ce quipped: "Brother, you can marry Sister A-Ning and be my sister-in-law." ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Keep the promise and pretend to be angry. In fact, this little kid said what was on his mind.
A-Ning lowered her head shyly, like the peony flower at the door.
On the day when the moon was very round and round, Shou Yue told Ah Ning what was on his mind.
"Aning, can you marry me?" He asked, a little nervously.
She seemed to nod, the evening breeze was slightly cool, and the moonlight reflected in her eyes.
He reached out and took her in his arms.
She hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would leave.
Later, it came to the Battle of Yunsonggang.
He still has a hundred shots, and every shot can take the life of an enemy.
But just as he was aiming again, a cold dagger rested on his neck. He looked back and it was a strange man.
How could anyone know his stronghold? He wondered.
"Who are you? How did you end up here? He was a little frightened.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that you died at my hands." The man was fierce. "I'll let you die, though."
Not far away, the figure of the woman in red was curling.
It turned out that A-Ning had been lying to him. She turned out to be an undercover agent for the enemy army.
"A-Ning." Shou Suri's gentle voice was a little hoarse.
She didn't look at him, but approached and knelt down before the man with the dagger.
"You don't kill him."
The man laughed almost madly: "Ah Ning, don't forget, your brother died under his gun." ”
Keeping promises is like thunder.
"But I don't want revenge." She was a little pleading.
"In the past six months with him, you have the opportunity to kill him, but you didn't do it. And if I hadn't eavesdropped on this stronghold, I'm afraid you wouldn't have told me. The man sighed.
"Aning, you're in love with him."
She covered her ears. She also doesn't want to admit that she is in love with the enemy who killed her brother. She was going to take revenge, but the boy lived in her heart.
"Kill me. I've killed too many people, and I'm just paying for my life. Just ask you to take care of my brother on my behalf, A-Ning. The Covenant broke the silence, and he would rather die than suffer her.
When the man's dagger stabbed at Shouyo, the red figure suddenly rushed over.
A delicate blood flower bloomed on her chest.
The sharpshooter's gun crashed to the ground.
Reaching out his hand, he only had time to catch her limp body.
The man showed a look of astonishment: "Baili keeps the promise, if she doesn't want to, I won't kill you." But you're not qualified to hold her. ”
He took her body and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"I treat her so well, but I can't beat you, who have known her for so short. You killed her brother, and she came to you for revenge. She told me every day that she was going to kill you, and she hated you so much" He paused, and added, "But when she told me how much you loved your brother, I knew she couldn't bear to do it." When she didn't want to tell me anything, I knew she was in love with you. ”
"I wanted to avenge her on my own initiative, but I didn't want to kill her. She gave up her life to save you. The man wept silently.
With that, the man held A-Ning's body and walked slowly.
After that, the Shadow Spear vanished. The sharpshooter kept his promise for a hundred miles and never picked up a gun again.
