Chapter 769: Saving Grace

Previous Chapter

The strong man in the lead sneered: "No one sent us, we saw that you were not pleasing to the eye, and came to teach you a lesson." He looked Chen Xin up and down a few times, and finally fixed on Chen Xin's handsome and dusty face, and said to the people around him: "Isn't this little white face just relying on that face?" Let's ruin his face, and see how he will use that face to deceive in the future! ”

Chen Xin's face changed slightly, according to the laws of this dynasty, if you have a disability or a face injury, you cannot enter the court as an official. If his face is ruined, the road to the imperial examination will be ruined. He attaches great importance to the road to the imperial examination, he is not from a good background, and his desire to control power is particularly strong, hoping that one day he will stand above ten thousand people, so that everyone can look up to him.

"I don't know you at all, and I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me?"

The strong man snorted and said, "You have no enmity with us, but you are sorry for Miss Su." Miss Su is such a good person, a few years ago, there was a great drought, and several of our brothers almost starved to death, but it was Miss Su who was kind and gave us a stutter, so our brothers survived. She can take a fancy to you, it is your creation. But you dare to withdraw from the marriage, don't you know that after a woman withdraws from the marriage, she will never be able to talk about good family affairs? Since you dare to ruin the second half of Miss Su's life, don't think about the rest of your life! ”

In the end, the strong man's voice was gloomy. The faces of more than a dozen men around him were also gloomy, and they looked at Chen Xin with unkind expressions. There is a posture that you have to go up and do it if you don't agree with each other.

Chen Xin didn't expect it to be because of this, others didn't know, but he knew. That Su Mei is not a kind-hearted person at all, she just habitually wants to show her charm when she sees a man, and those who eat are also from the first few rich rich sons, she is not rare to eat, and she gave a few mud legs who are about to starve to death, but she didn't expect to be regarded as a benefactor by these people.

He was arrogant, and he didn't bother to explain to these people, so he only said: "There are eyes but no beads." ”

This angered those people, and the leader said directly: "Give it to me, beat him hard, and then scratch his face when he has enough!" ”

Chen Xin was born with greater strength than others, don't look at him as a scholar, but his hand strength is much better than that of a farmer, although he has not learned martial arts, but it is no problem for a person to beat three or five croppers. It's a pity that there are too many people here today, at first Chen Xin can fight with those people a few times, but then there are many people on the other side, so he pressed him to the ground and rubbed him.

Chen Xin has had a smooth ride since he was a child, and he has never suffered such a loss, his nose and face are swollen from being beaten by those people, and he feels that his internal organs are about to be displaced. Those people had enough of Ben before they said: "Okay, the lesson has been learned, don't make trouble with people's lives, the gains outweigh the losses." Three dogs, what about the knife you took when you came, you started and scratched his face. ”

The three dogs responded, took out a short knife casually, and walked towards Chen Xin, who was pressed to the ground, and said as he walked: "Boy, for the sake of your bones being hard enough, being beaten like this, and being stunned for the sake of not saying a word, brother will give you a good time." Just a knife, a little deeper, look hideous, not much pain! ”

Chen Xin's pupils widened, and his eyes were suddenly filled with fear, if this knife really went down, his future would really be ruined. He can't just be ruined, can't! He struggled violently, but five or six big men held him down, what was the use of him struggling, it was in vain, and a deep despair suddenly surged in his heart.

Seeing Chen Xin who was beaten up in the depths of the woods, the Tongtian Sect Master was as cool as drinking a glass of ice water on dog days, he was about to say something with a smile, when he saw Li Xiruo beside him loosen his fingers, and an arrow flew out, knocking down the three dogs with knives. The Tongtian Sect Master knew that this was Li Xi's going to show grace, and with the big scene just now, he was in a good mood, and he didn't feel depressed, so he continued to watch the play with great interest.

Li Xiruo rushed out of the woods, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, pointing at those strong men and saying, "Where did you come from, you are so vicious, why do you give birth to such a poisonous hand on this book?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was beautiful and dusty, walking out of the woods with a bow and arrow in her hand. In the past, the most beautiful girl they had ever seen was Su Mei, who was definitely the most beautiful girl in ten miles and eight villages, and they felt that it was absolutely not an exaggeration to say that the country and the city were captivated, but after seeing this little girl, the words "beautiful as a fairy" involuntarily flashed in their minds.

It's not that this little girl is stronger than Su Mei in appearance, but that this girl's temperament has a feeling of being out of the dust. is not as bright and charming as Su Mei, but it gives people the feeling of a fairy descending to the earth.

Everyone was stunned, making Li Xiruo, who was a little embarrassed, she took a few steps closer and said to a few people: "You guys let him go." ”

Chen Xin, who saw the dawn in the abyss of despair, couldn't help but glance back when he heard this pleasant female voice, but this glance made him stunned. The little girl has a cold temperament, her eyebrows are picturesque, beautiful and beautiful, he has never seen such a beautiful person, and her heartbeat can't help but speed up a little.

The leader was shouted back to his senses by Li Xiruo's voice, they are all croppers, and they usually fight with their fists when they go out, who will bring weapons. The knife of the three dogs is said to have been handed down by their ancestors, and that one, it is a family heirloom, and there is no other knife between them except for the sickle and kitchen knife at home.

But the bow and arrow in this little girl's hand looks serious, and then looks at this dressing skill, maybe she is from a hunter in the mountains. These hunters usually deal with jackals, tigers and leopards, and maybe a few arrows can open a few blood holes in each of them.

He laughed and said, "Girl, we are not evildoers, we are rectifying evildoers." ”

Li Xiruo said coldly: "You are talking nonsense! What kind of villain looks like such a scholar? You look like a lot more like a villain than he is! ”

The leader was unhappy in his heart, thinking that it was probably the face of this little white face that took advantage of him, but he also had to suppress his displeasure and said: "He is really a bad person, and he has done bad things, so we will rectify him." ”

Li Xiruo frowned and said: "You release the person first, if it is really like what you say, he is a villain." Let's go to the yamen to talk about things, even if he is a gangster, he should be sentenced by the county magistrate, where is your turn to abuse lynching, what do you think you are, cross the county magistrate to sentence people, the emperor? ”

The leader was speechless, and he would never dare to go to the yamen. As Li Xiruo said, Chen Xin really did something heinous, and there were also county magistrates who were sentenced, and it was not their turn to abuse lynching, they violated the royal law. If you go to the county office, you have to be arrested as a gangster and imprisoned. The thought of going to jail made everyone's necks shrink.

Li Xiruo glanced at everyone: "That's it, if you let this person go, I won't pursue your behavior, let's go our own way, how about it?" ”

The leader was a little reluctant, but he heard Li Xiruo continue: "My archery technique can send beaded arrows, don't look at the number of you, it's no problem to open a few blood holes for each of you, I don't believe you can try." If it weren't for the fear that you would hurt this man, I wouldn't have let you scoundrels go. ”

The leader thought of Li Xiruo's fast and accurate arrow when he shot the knife just now, and believed most of Li Xiruo's words, and said: "We let him go, do you really stop embarrassing us?" ”

Li Xiruo said: "I don't think you are like bandits, and you are probably not heinous." If you let this person go, I will let you go, and I have always spoken with sincerity. ”

It was probably because the aura on Li Xiruo's body was too strong, and they couldn't help but believe Li Xiruo's words. Several people looked at each other a few times, thinking that there would be trouble with Chen Xin, there would be opportunities in the future, and there was no need to put their lives into it, so they nodded to each other, let Chen Xin go, and ran backwards down the mountain.

Li Xiruo saw that the gangsters were gone, put down the bow and arrow in his hand, walked to Chen Xin's side, looked at the injuries on Chen Xin's body, and said, "You are seriously injured and need to be treated immediately, if you don't mind, go to my house to treat the injuries first, do you think it's okay?" ”

Chen Xin looked at the girl in front of him who seemed to be a divine soldier descending from the sky and nodded stunned, "Thank you girl for saving her life." ”

Li Xiruo smiled slightly, helped Chen Xin up, and supported him towards the wooden house in the woods. I don't believe in Chen Xin's words, this Chen Xin is a cold person in his bones, he didn't take the kindness of his parents to heart, and he didn't remember the kindness of his master's upbringing, he just saved him once by chance, what can he really thank, and then he saw the hell.

Chen Xin was beaten not lightly, even if he had a very good face, now he has to rely on Li Xiruo's support to barely walk, and it is also a loss to Li Xiruo who is a fairy, if it is an ordinary little girl, she really can't help such a big man. Chen Xin only studied martial arts as a little girl, and he had great strength, so he could help him, but he didn't think much about it, he only blushed slightly, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being useless and losing face in front of the little girl.

Chen Xin is the kind of sanctimonious person that the Tongtian Sect Master said, obviously he likes good colors, but he doesn't show it, so he always has to cover it up. Therefore, his preference is also biased towards the kind of appearance that is stunning and cold and dusty, rather than Daji's charming and gorgeous appearance. Li Xiruo is in line with his preferences.

He had a good impression of Li Xiruo, and he was not half rejected by Li Xiruo, but when he entered the wooden house and saw the Tongtian Sect Master, he was disgusted at first sight, and he didn't know why, there was a wave of disgust and rejection in his heart, as if the two of them had some deep hatred, and even he was surprised that he would have such emotions.

"This is ......," he turned his head to look at Li Xiruo beside him.
