Chapter 5: Seeking Life
After the child, Jiang Li and Heru were taken to the firewood room by the little monk.
The firewood house is on a small peak in the back mountain, in the middle of nowhere, standing alone. Push open the door: the house is full of dry firewood, and a thick layer of dead grass is spread on the ground.
Jiang Li was also very tired, but instinctively looked around, and finally found a position by the window to sit down, always feeling a little weird. Before she had time to think about it, Heru came over and sat beside her, her brows furrowed: "Miss, if General Wei insists on withdrawing from the marriage, what are your plans?" ”
Jiang Li shook his head: "What will happen if you get married?" ”
Heru looked at her with pity in her eyes: "Miss is now the daughter of the common people, if she divorces, she can only marry the common people." ”
Jiang Li smiled: "As long as it is safe and smooth, the common people are also good." ”
Heru gently touched the corner of her forehead: "It's best if Miss can think about it." The eldest lady will return to Beijing in a few days, and we can go to her when the time comes. The slave embroiderer is acceptable, and he will do more embroidery work in the future to supplement the family. ”
Jiang Li held Heru's hand: "Heru, you're so good." ”
"I'll always be with Miss."
"By the way, who is my sister?"
"Miss, Miss is twenty-one years old this year. Five years ago, he married the eldest son of the Langzhong family. The eldest aunt was a general judge in Jiangnan Mansion, and the eldest lady went to Jiangnan with her husband. ”
Suddenly, Heru was stunned, made a shushing gesture with his fingers, and lowered his voice in Jiang Li's ear: "Miss, there seems to be footsteps outside, I'll take a look." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of firewood and walked gently to the door.
With a thud, the door was kicked open, and two masked men in black with swords rushed in. As soon as Heru's hand holding the firewood hit one of them on the head, another man in black rushed in from outside the door and stabbed Heru in the chest with a sword.
"Heru!" The sudden drastic change made the amnesiac Jiang Lilen stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he picked up a piece of firewood in his hand and rushed towards the man in black.
The man in black swung his sword and stabbed at Jiang Li, but was hugged by Heru's waist, the man in black erected his sword, inserted a sword into Heru's back, and waved his elbow hard, and Heru was thrown out of the door.
At this moment, a fire broke out around the firewood room, and fire oil was poured on all sides, and the fire swished out. The man in black pulled out the lid of a bottle and threw it directly at Jiang Li, and then threw out another fire fold. A fire dragon suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Li, blocking the way.
The ground was full of hay, which caught fire and the firewood in the house quickly ignited.
"I'm grass!"
Jiang Li ignored it, and rushed out of the fire dragon directly, and the firewood in his hand hit the wrist of the man in black holding the sword. The long sword was knocked to the ground, Jiang Li rolled down to extinguish the flames on his body, picked up the long sword on the ground, half-squatted and stabbed behind him with both hands.
The long sword plunged straight into the abdomen of the man in black, and the man in black outside the door heard the sound of the room and stepped in.
Jiang Li quickly pulled out his long sword and got up, kicked at the knee of the man in black, the other party's leg bent in pain, and his body was short, Jiang Li swung his sword out, directly cutting his carotid artery, and blood sprayed Jiang Li's face.
"Withdraw!" The remaining men in black closed the door from the outside and locked Jiang Li inside the house.
Jiang Li swung his sword vigorously, and the sword qi lifted the dead grass burning on the ground in the house, revealing the cyan floor tiles.
Fiercely slashed down, a deep and long sword mark suddenly appeared on the ground, and several gravel fell from a gap in the sword mark.
Jiang Li raised his long sword, plunged it into the gap, and stirred it vigorously.
With a thud, the ground collapsed, revealing the tunnels below.
Everything happened between the fire and the light stones, and Jiang Li's mind was blank, and he reacted instinctively.
Just as he was about to jump down, there was a click, the beam broke and fell down, and Jiang Li fainted with a painful cry.
There was a raging fire in front of me, boom, boom, boom, and three earth-shattering explosions came from the villa.
"Mom!" Jiang Li was heartbroken and suddenly opened his eyes.
There was an old man with a white beard sitting in front of him, and he hadn't washed it for a long time, and his beard was knotted. He was in a stone room, dimly lit by candlelight, and there was nothing in the room except the stone bed under the old man.
Jiang Li moved his body, leaned back, and leaned against the wall: "Who are you?" ”
"Jin Bodhi is yours?"
The old man didn't answer the question.
Jiang Li looked down at the Jin Bodhi on her wrist, this bracelet, she had been wearing it since she woke up when she was hit by an arrow, and she didn't think there was anything special.
"I don't know."
"Amnesia?"
"Well, can I go?"
"The firewood room is burned out, you can't save it."
"What time is it?"
"The time."
"Then I'll take my leave, where to get out."
The old man took out a jade bottle from his arms and threw it to Jiang Li: "Drink this, you will be able to recover your memory, if Jin Bodhi is yours." ”
After finishing speaking, he lay down with his back to Jiang Li, and pointed to the left: "Go out over there." ”
Jiang Li picked up the jade bottle, stood up and walked to the old man's side: "Who are you?" ”
"Your master asked me to give you the jade bottle, and my task is complete."
"Who is my master?"
The old man sat up suddenly: "You will know if you drink it." It's endless! ”
Jiang Li stuffed the jade bottle back to the old man: "Don't drink strangers' things." With that, he walked towards the exit.
"Wait!" The old man turned over and got out of bed, and forced the jade bottle to Jiang Li: "Take it, take it, quickly take this away." ”
"Don't!" Jiang Li threw it back again.
The old man hurriedly caught it: "This seat is a remnant of the national teacher, and you can't be fooled." He looked at Jiang Li again: "Look at you, if you look like this, you can be arrested if you go out." ”
Jiang Li looked down and saw that his clothes were burned with several holes and were covered with blood.
"Why did you save me?"
"The old man said what he said, and he promised your master to give you this bottle, and he thought it was counting."
Jiang Li was silent for a moment, for some reason she didn't want to recover her memory. Her intuitive memory wasn't a good thing, it would overwhelm her. If there is no memory, it is a new beginning, to be a commoner and live a simple life, this kind of life she thinks is very good.
She also has an older sister, and the family depends on each other, which is a very happy thing.
Seeing that Jiang Li didn't speak: "Don't you want to know who wants to kill you?" ”
"You know?" Jiang Li looked into the old man's eyes.
The old man shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Whew!" Jiang Li let out a mocking smile.
"Do you know who you are?" The old man looked at her with a somewhat smug expression.
"Jiang Ming's second daughter, Jiang Li."
"Whew!" This time, the old man smiled mockingly and gestured two fingers: "Jiang Ming's daughter, killed two people." ”
"Jiang Ming is a soldier in the army, and his martial arts skills in leading soldiers to fight in the early years were not weak, and the tiger father has no dog daughter, so it's strange that I, as his daughter, will have some punches and kicks." Jiang Li looked at the old man and narrowed his eyes.
Remnant Yan shook his head, approached Jiang Li, and said in a low voice: "You are not a fist or a kick. He looked at him sharply: "It's a murderous trick!" ”
