Chapter 112: The Strange Zhuangzi
Tonight, the black clouds cover the moon, and in the dark night, there is hardly any light to be seen, and the swaying branches are like ghosts with teeth and claws, looking particularly infiltrating.
Unable to discern the direction, and Lin Yingxue was not familiar with this forest, she could only run towards the depths of the forest with all her strength at the moment, in order to get rid of the assassins behind her, because only in this way could Leng Yue, who was fighting with the assassins behind her, have a chance to escape!
Running and running, there seemed to be an extra person's footsteps behind her, although the footsteps were very subtle, so subtle that Lin Yingxue even wondered if she had heard it wrong. In order to verify her conjecture, Lin Yingxue deliberately stopped.
However, there was no sound around, could it really be that she had heard it wrong?
Lin Yingxue took another step, but there was a sound behind her. After repeating this several times, Lin Yingxue finally knew that the voice was not her illusion at all! There was a man around her who was staring at her now, and her every move was in the sight of that man!
If the darkness brings fear and panic to normal people, then for those killers who specialize in walking in the dark night, the darkness is a natural protective color and an excellent helper for them, they are like cold poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, just waiting for the prey to show its flaws, and then give the prey a fatal blow!
Where's that person? Lin Yingxue turned her gaze and glanced around, as if everything was so calm, and it seemed that there might be a pair of eyes staring at her in all directions!
There is no other way but to escape! Lin Yingxue gritted her teeth and ran in the forest again, there was darkness in front of her, but no one knew whether it was light or despair that greeted her at the end of the darkness.
"Ahh It seemed that she had stepped on something under her feet, and when the severe pain hit, even though Lin Yingxue had tried her best to hold back, a low cry still involuntarily overflowed from her mouth.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and Lin Yingxue could barely see anything in the dark, but through the feel and the cold and hard touch, she felt as if she had stepped on a trap. The thing was firmly gripping her feet, sharp iron teeth that seemed to bite off her bones.
No, the hidden Assassin must have heard her whisper, and if she stayed here, there was no guarantee that the Assassin would not take the opportunity to do anything to her.
Lin Yingxue shook the beast trap hard, but the beast clip didn't know if it was well-made or what, even if she used all her strength, she still didn't move, a trace of anger flashed on her face, but just as she was about to stand up and leave in pain, a sudden palpitation suddenly came from behind her.
Lin Yingxue didn't even have time to think about it, so she reflexively rolled her body and flashed to the side, the cold blade slashing against her snow-white neck, leaving a thin blood mark on it. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if she had been a little slower just now!
Looking at the black-clothed killer who was just a few steps away from her, a layer of frost formed in Lin Yingxue's dark eyes - now the killer couldn't help but appear, although she was relieved to guess the location of the assassin with fear, but in the same way, this also proved that the killer had run out of patience and didn't want to watch her continue to flee as a prey.
With her unharmed, she wasn't sure she could beat a trained killer, let alone the wounded ones she was all over now.
What to do? Lin Yingxue stared at the direction where the assassin was, but she was secretly thinking about countermeasures in her heart, and the faint smell of blood in the air made the surrounding atmosphere become solemn.
"Die!" The killer's gaze swept over Lin Yingxue's bleeding feet, and then he quickly rushed towards Lin Yingxue with his sword.
The ghost-like figure had already come to the front in an instant, Lin Yingxue tried her best to resist the urge to dodge, until the moment the killer came close and raised the sharp blade in his hand, Lin Yingxue quickly and accurately inserted the hairpin that had been held in her hand into the eyes of the person in front of her.
"Ahh With a low cry of surprise, the killer stared at Lin Yingxue with another intact eye, and fell down forever with an unbelievable look.
At the moment when the killer fell to the ground, Lin Yingxue also sat down on the ground as if she had lost her strength - the knife in the killer's hand was only an inch away from her, if she shot a little slower, or the killer came out a little faster, then the dead person didn't know who it was at this time.
"The killer walks in the dark night, the darkness is your protection, careless love enemies, exposing the location, these two alone are enough for you to die." After breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Yingxue didn't dare to delay, stumbled up from the ground and walked in front of the corpse, pulled out the hairpin that she had quenched in advance from the corpse's eyes, and then carefully wiped it on the corpse's clothes, and then took it into her arms.
Looking at the dark night, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but sigh secretly - it was her luck to be able to solve this killer this time, if there was another one, she might not be so lucky.
The sharp pain in her feet made Lin Yingxue feel great pain and suffering with every step she took, and excessive blood loss made her dizzy and lightheaded.
'Bang', when she stepped on the air and rolled down a small hill, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but have a trace of bitterness at the corner of her mouth - she didn't escape in the end.
She thought to herself before losing consciousness at the last moment.
After a thrilling night, the morning sun rose the next day, as if nothing had happened last night.
Lin Yingxue was woken up, and the buzzing in her ears made her have a headache like a swarm of bees, and her face still felt wet, as if something was constantly licking her face.
Lick? Lin Yingxue opened her eyes suddenly, and even the dizziness that had originally permeated her brain was diluted a lot by this shock.
After opening her eyes, Lin Yingxue didn't even have time to adapt to the sudden bright light, so she hurriedly squinted her eyes and turned her head to look to the side - what caught her eye was a big dog that looked quite kind, and when the big dog saw her open her eyes, he couldn't help but take two steps back and bark at her twice.
Fortunately, fortunately, it is not a man-eating beast, and judging by the appearance of this dog, it should be domestic, otherwise she may not wake up intact now.
As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, I heard a voice in my ears: "This man is alive!" ”
As soon as this voice came out, Lin Yingxue turned her eyes and glanced around, only to see that there were more than a dozen people standing not far from her, and now they all looked at her with a puzzled and indifferent look, thinking that when she was unconscious, those voices should have come from the mouths of these people not far away.
Who are these people? Didn't she stumble and roll down a hill in the middle of the jungle last night? There are no villages in the vicinity, how can there be so many people dressed as villagers at once?
A series of questions had just surfaced in my mind when one of the villagers continued: "This person is from outside, I don't think we can ......."
Xu was too seriously injured, Lin Yingxue's eyes were blurry, and the voice in her ears was sometimes loud and small, she couldn't hear it completely, but she still heard a kind middle-aged couple say: "Look at this little girl is not very old, but she is covered in injuries, if we don't save her, I'm afraid she will die here......
The voice behind her voice became even quieter, and Lin Yingxue only knew that before she fell unconscious again, it seemed that someone had lifted her up.
This time she was in a coma, Lin Yingxue didn't know how long she had been in a coma, she only knew that after opening her eyes, she was lying in a small but neatly cleaned room, smelling the smell of medicine faintly wafting in outside, and looked down at the wound that she had bandaged and treated, she knew that she should be temporarily saved.
The thrill of the previous night really drained all her energy in the past month. Lin Yingxue was secretly sighing, but the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who entered the room was a middle-aged woman with a kind face, about forty years old, with yellow and dark skin, many fine lines on her face, thick knuckles and thick calluses, and she looked like a peasant woman who had been working in the fields for a long time.
"Ah, girl, you're awake!" When the middle-aged woman saw Lin Yingxue wake up, her face immediately showed a look of surprise, "Girl, you don't know how badly you are injured!" Not only did he have a high fever, but he also had a lot of burns on his body, the most serious of which was your feet. After the beast trap was removed, the girl, your feet had already suppurated, and the village doctor said that he was afraid that the girl would not be able to stand it when he squeezed the pus, so he opened a little boiling and dispersing...... Alas, it's a blessing that you're awake, girl! It seems that the girl must be a blessed person! ”
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman came over with a steaming bowl of potion.
Lin Yingxue listened to the middle-aged woman's words, although she also sweated for her situation at that time, but she was more grateful to the person in front of her.
"Thank you for saving your life." Lin Yingxue tried to prop herself up and wanted to thank the middle-aged woman, but the middle-aged woman hurriedly put down the decoction and came over to support her.
"It's all a trivial matter, don't move, girl, it's not good to touch the wounds on your body for a while."
Looking at the anxious and worried appearance of the person in front of her, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart.
After drinking the medicine with the help of the middle-aged woman, Lin Yingxue asked the first question in her heart: "Can the eldest lady tell me what place this is?" I remember accidentally rolling out of the woods before I fell unconscious, and I didn't notice any villages around me at the time......"
But now she's literally lying in a room in the middle of the village, along with the other villagers who tried to kill her before she fell unconscious...... She always felt that the village and the villagers who suddenly appeared were a little strange, but fortunately, the people in front of her seemed to be kind.
"This ......" Seeing that Lin Yingxue asked this question as soon as she opened her mouth, the middle-aged woman's expression dodged slightly, "Our village actually has little contact with the outside, and the girl happened to appear at the entrance of our village, so we rescued the girl easily, but I hope the girl will not inquire too much about the news of our village, and don't tell the situation of our village in the future, otherwise it will ......"
When the middle-aged woman said this, a trace of horror suddenly flashed on her face, as if she was afraid of something, "In short, the girl should not ask more about anything, and don't say anything more, otherwise the girl may not be able to get out of this village alive." ”
