Hatred Deepens the Heart (4)
At night, Ling Xiao also built a fire in front of the cave to ward off the cold. Feng Baiyue lay quietly on the bed, now he has fallen asleep, but he is not sleeping peacefully, his eyes have been rolling in his sockets, his brows are furrowed, his forehead is hot, and the beads of sweat are like condensed steam constantly overflowing, which is obviously entering a nightmare. All Ling Xiao could do was help her wipe her sweat.
At about the time of the day, Feng Baiyue finally stopped having nightmares, and Ling Xiao fell asleep on the stone table, only the blazing bonfire in front of the cave quietly guarded her.
Everything seemed very quiet, but it was also because of this quietness that Ling Xiao, who was sleeping lightly, noticed the footsteps outside the cave, and gradually approached, listening to this sound, there was more than one person. Ling Xiao immediately lifted his spirits, picked up the long sword beside him, walked lightly to the side of the bed, woke up Feng Baiyue, who had finally fallen asleep, and made a "shhhhhh Feng Baiyue immediately understood, sat up from the bed and got dressed.
Feng Baiyue's injuries were so serious that even the sword was difficult to hold steadily. At this moment, Ling Xiao had already drawn her sword, although she knew that her three-legged cat technique was useless, but it was better than sitting still. She helped Feng Baiyue to move towards the entrance of the cave against the stone wall, so that she could escape faster, and she could only wait for death in this cave.
The sound of footsteps was close at hand, and Ling Xiao held Bai Yue with one hand and grasped the hilt of the sword with the other. The group finally broke in like hungry wolves, and they all looked to the side of the bed, and found that there was no one, and when they turned around, they saw that Ling Xiao and Feng Baiyue had come out of the hole, and a group of people immediately surrounded them.
When the sword hit, Ling Xiao was a little difficult to parry, and he couldn't do it. The night that was originally quiet with only the sound of the wind can no longer be heard except for the sound of fighting.
Feng Baiyue's silver teeth clenched, fighting empty-handed, and the wound that had been treated by Ling Xiao was overflowing bright red blood again at this moment, slowly soaking the sleeves of his clothes. The bonfire in front of the cave had long since been dispersed, and the sparks were flying in all directions, and the smoke of firewood was everywhere.
Ling Xiao responded in a hurry, and the whole scene was not optimistic. The moves changed rapidly, the sword qi fluctuated, and even the wind seemed to have a tense atmosphere.
It was a brutal battle under the pure moonlight, six or seven people besieged the two women, Ling Xiao had already received two knives in the shoulder, she was still desperately fighting back, and two little minions had died under her sword. From this moment on, Ling Xiao's hands were completely stained with blood, which was a trace that could not be washed away for a lifetime. This time was different from the murder in the wooden house, Ling Xiao felt that the person who had a lust for her last time deserved to die, but this time she was innocently involved and killed someone who had no grievances with her.
Feng Baiyue was physically exhausted at the moment, and the bright moonlight shone on her already pale face, as terrifying as a ghost. And those people pressed forward step by step, Ling Xiao and Feng Baiyue finally reached a situation where there was no way to retreat, and there was a cliff behind them.
Forced to be a scoundrel, Ling Xiao grabbed Feng Baiyue's uninjured arm and jumped down, and finally broke away from the clutches of several people with the help of vines. Ling Xiao herself never thought that at this critical juncture, she would inexplicably learn how to use light gong. This should have been a happy thing, but at the moment she was not happy. Because when they landed, they found that the horses had long since disappeared, and seven or eight people were besieging them, although they hadn't done it yet, Ling Xiao had already noticed that the strength of these people was far better than just now. Judging from the weapons and clothing, the people fighting on the cliff were just the ghosts sent by the people below to find out the situation.
"Look where you are fleeing." The man who spoke looked smug.
"I really didn't expect that the people who committed crimes in the rivers and lakes for a month were actually two female devils." The tone of this speech was slightly surprised, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes tonight, it would have been really hard to believe that after a hundred years, there would be a female devil in the rivers and lakes again, two to be exact.
A man had already drawn his sword, but was stopped by another man: "Master Liu Shaozhuang, don't be in a hurry to do it first, what we want is alive, go back and find out the reason for the matter." ”
"What else is there to ask, they killed my father, I want them to pay for it with blood." The tip of the sword stabbed at Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao was about to fight back, only to hear the sound of "dang", and the sword had landed.
"Master Liu Shaozhuang, have you forgotten our promise in advance? Find someone to bring back first, and when the Water Pavilion Master clarifies this matter, it's not too late for you to send it down. ”
Feng Baiyue sat on the ground with her weak body, the cold light in her eyes did not decrease at all, and she slowly spoke: "These people were killed by me alone, and they have nothing to do with her, she was forcibly brought by me." ”
The clouds in the sky obscured the face of the bright moon, and at the same time swallowed the silver splendor that was sprinkled. The surroundings are darkened, and the figures are blurred. Step by step, the men approached. Ling Xiao knew that she was not their opponent, but she didn't want to fall into their hands, Feng Baiyue had killed so many people, and if she was captured by them, she would definitely die, and she couldn't do it if she didn't save her. Even if it was futile, she had to make the last struggle.
The sword light flashed, and Ling Xiao took out his sword again, and the sword was ruthless. And those people are not vegetarians, and it is easy to resist.
The sword fell to the ground, seeing that Ling Xiao was about to fall into their palms, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, with a flick of their wide sleeves, those people both retreated, such a big internal force was definitely not an ordinary person. In the haze, before everyone could see the appearance of the person who came, the person had already flown by with Ling Xiao and Feng Baiyue like phantoms, and disappeared without a trace.
The men were stunned for a long time, then chased them in the direction they had fled.
After some fighting, Ling Xiao no longer had half of his strength in his body, and his arm was firmly held in a cold hand. Through the bright moon that had revealed his face, Ling Xiao saw the person's appearance clearly. This was something that Ling Xiao couldn't have imagined no matter what, but it was all in case.
The scene in front of him quickly receded, in case Qi finally led the two of them into a courtyard. The lights in the house are very bright, dazzling, dazzling.
"Why are you there?" Ling Xiao and Feng Baiyue's wounds had been properly treated by a woman, and Feng Baiyue had fallen asleep at this moment. In another hour or two, it will be dawn, Ling Xiao has no sleep, and when he sees that he is sitting in the outhouse, holding a multicolored feather in his hand, he goes out and asks the doubts in his heart.
"Save you." In case, Qi said it very directly.
"So, you know what has happened in the past few months?" Ling Xiao felt more and more that Wan Jian Pavilion was not simple.
In case Qi did not deny it, he nodded slightly.
"Thank you, though." Ling Xiao made a salute.
"Don't thank me, I've already sent someone to inform Lu Jingxing, and he will come to pick you up in a few days." In case, a pair of charming eyes looked at the feather with tenderness. It was a feather that Ling Xiao had never seen before, and it had an indescribable eye-catchingness.
"What are you going to do with that Bai Yue?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Her wounds heal quickly, and she still has her calling. This is not my responsibility, and I will not participate in the disputes between the rivers and lakes. "In case Qi is not a nosyman.
"Killing people is her calling?"
Ling Xiao asked lightly.
In case Qi is a little distracted: "Revenge is her belief in living." Everyone has a different belief in their hearts to live, if even the belief is gone, then death may be the best way, you and I are no exception. ”
Ling Xiao felt that what he said was too absolute: "Then what is your belief in mine?" ”
"Find the person I'm looking for. As for you, you'll find out in a few years. In the dead of night, the oil lamp was burning in full bloom, shining on Qi's face, which was three points more beautiful than a woman, and it looked calm.
The two didn't say anything more, and Ling Xiao sat quietly for a while before returning to the room.
In case the medicine given by Qi was very effective, when he got up the next day, Ling Xiao felt that the two knife wounds on his shoulders were no longer painful, and his physical strength had fully recovered. Feng Baiyue's palm had already given her medicine, and her complexion had recovered a lot at the moment, but she hadn't woken up yet.
"Girl, it's time for breakfast." A maid walked in.
"I see." Ling Xiao glanced at Feng Baiyue, who was lying quietly on the bed, and then walked out.
Ling Xiao raised his eyes, and saw a few plates of exquisite side dishes on the desk, in case he sat in the main seat, holding porridge in his hand, and beside him was a little girl about five or six years old.
"Come, Feng'er, take another bite." In case Qi's evil eyes turned into patience and gentleness at this moment, he fed Feng'er porridge spoonful by spoonful, and his tone was as gentle as the spring breeze and drizzle in March.
"Daddy, I'm going to eat this." Feng'er stretched out her little hand like clotted fat and pointed to a plate of side dishes, her voice was tender and soft.
"Okay." In case, Qi answered softly. In case of this, Ling Xiao thought it was really interesting.
In case Qi saw Ling Xiao coming over, he pointed to the empty seat: "Let's eat." ”
Feng'er opened her watery eyes and looked at Ling Xiao: "Daddy, who is she?" ”
In case the corners of Qi's mouth hooked slightly: "Daddy's friend, stay here for a few days." Come on, open your mouth. Such an atmosphere was harmonious and sweet, and Ling Xiao was a little stunned when he saw it.
"Sister, what are you watching me do?" Feng'er winked at Ling Xiao a few times. Ling Xiao reacted at this time, and was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Is the injury better?" In case Qi broke her embarrassment.
Ling Xiao picked up the bowl and replied, "It's much better." ”
The sun shines into the room, and a piece of gold is printed on the brown wooden board, and the two colors meet, creating different sparks.
Wan Yiqi, who was standing at the door, bent over and said softly to Feng'er: "Daddy has something to deal with, Feng'er has to be good, you know?" The sun shines on the father and daughter, and it is quiet and comfortable.
Feng'er nodded obediently, and watched her leave in case she left. Every move between father and daughter, Ling Xiaoquan captured it in her eyes, she never thought that there would be such a side in case Qi.
In case after leaving, Feng'er swinged in the yard, and Ling Xiao leaned against the door to look at her innocent bright smile, and there was a little more envy in her heart.
"Young master, slow down, be careful of falling." The maid reminded on the side.
"It's okay, don't be so nervous all the time, okay?" Feng'er said it didn't matter.
The swing in the morning light, the little girl on the swing, the smile on the girl's face, the morning light in the smile, that is Ling Xiao's dream when he was a child, a dream that cannot happen to himself.
