Chapter 45: The Hunt
Hou Xiaoshu is Hou Sihai's pearl, Hou Sihai has no son, only this one daughter, as the daughter of the richest person in the world, Hou Xiaoshu's life is definitely no worse than a royal princess. It's just that Hou Sihai's bloated body, in people's imagination, his daughter will not be a beauty, maybe Hou Xiaoshu is much worse than Shangguan Ziyu, Shi Hongyu, and Xing Wenwen's stunning beauties, but Hou Xiaoshu is definitely not an ugly girl, she has two small tiger teeth When she smiles, two small dimples can always be revealed on her cheeks, and those two tiger teeth are also exposed at this time. Hou Xiaoshu's face is very small, her face should be the smallest among everyone's faces, and the most impressive thing is not her small face, nor the dimples and the two delicate little tiger teeth, but her smile, Hou Xiaoshu's smile is like a spring breeze in March, seeing her smile can always make people feel comfortable, and Hou Xiaoshu never seems to be stingy with her smile, because she will smile when she sees everyone. Hou Xiaoshu is a person who has no worries, so she loves to laugh very much, the Hou family has the wealth of the world, she doesn't seem to have any troubles, and her parents also treat her as a pearl in the palm of their hands to protect her, so her life is smooth sailing and smooth.
Perverted, as long as it is a person, a kind person will not use this word to describe a person, or even evaluate a person, but there is a kind of person who can no longer use the second word to evaluate him, because he is perverted. There are no words that can be more suitable for him, Chang Si, that's right, this most mysterious Chang Si, is very famous in the rivers and lakes, but he is a person who lives as if he does not exist. Loneliness, many people are lonely, because loneliness is a kind of strength, their hearts are very lonely, their martial arts are even more lonely, lonely is as cold and lonely as the cold light of Haoyue, Chu Zhuang Han is this kind of lonely person, Mei Er is also one, but now Mei Er no longer seems to have that kind of cold loneliness. Maybe Mei Er has a kind of belonging in his heart, and Biluo Valley is belonging, at least it was built by him and Xiao Bai, and it will only be their place in the future, there is their home, people with a family seem to have roots, and with roots they have a sense of belonging, even if they have a cold heart, there will always be a warm time. The loneliness of people like them is a wonderful loneliness formed when they pursue the ultimate in one thing, and this kind of loneliness is not something ordinary people can have. Chang Si also uses a knife, but the loneliness he has is not this kind of loneliness, because his loneliness can be possessed by many people, and that kind of cold loneliness always permeates their breath. People don't dare to get close to them, and once they get close, they can feel the cold, even if it's the scorching heat of June, it's like falling into an ice cellar, and this cold is enough to make people shudder. And Chang Si's loneliness will not make people feel cold, and he will even deliberately avoid the crowd in order to reflect the loneliness in his heart, what he thinks about is not the cold arrogance of loneliness, but the beast-like gaze. In a dark hidden corner, he is like a wandering ghost, trying his best to hide his presence.
He is like a wandering spirit, a wandering spirit, wandering alone between heaven and earth, he has been searching, looking for prey, yes, in his heart, he is looking for prey, suitable prey. What is prey, the premise is that you are a hunter, and the premise is that you are not a person at all, but a tiger, a wild lion, or even a wolf, but the most descriptive character should be a leopard, yes, a leopard, because among all the beasts, only the leopard is the best hunter, and it is a loner. Chang Si's eyes are like the eyes of a leopard, every time he stands at the water's edge and sees the reflection in the water, he will only stare at those eyes that are as black as stars, and he feels that his soul is living in those eyes.
No one wants to be in the company of such a person, and certainly he does not want to be in the company of others, because no one else he sees is a human being, and everyone is a prey in his eyes, a prey that can take life and eat at any time. In his eyes, the prey will not be worthy of sympathy, of course, there is no place worthy of sympathy, and over time, the prey has also formed a level in his eyes, and he will also choose what he thinks is the best among the prey, to fill the perverted desire in his heart. And Chang Si is this kind of person, the kind of perverted desire in his heart can only be filled with an extremely obsessive means, and that kind of person is the most perfect prey in his heart. What he doesn't like the most is a smile, some people are easily satisfied, so they always have a smile on their faces, and Chang Si's least favorite thing is a smile, not that he doesn't like it, but because he likes the painful look on other people's faces the most, what good things others have, he just wants to destroy them, and people who don't have troubles always have a lingering smile. What he likes most is to destroy everyone's hopes, to make that painful despair appear on the faces of others, and he will hide in the shadows as usual, and enjoy watching his prey with a painful smile on his face. This enjoyment was the greatest relief to his spirit, as if it were a supreme work of art, and now he had found his next prey, and he had caught so many prey that he could not count, but as time went on it it became more and more difficult to find, for there were very few prey that could appeal to him. It's not that there are fewer people in this world, but that there are fewer and fewer prey he likes, and obviously his pickiness about prey is also improving. He hasn't hunted for three years, yes, he can only describe himself as hunting, because this game, for him, is a hunt, and the person he targets will never escape. Step by step, he would destroy all the good things on which she depended, so that she had no troubles, and that she would always smile, and when she was in desperate pain, he would secretly appreciate this pain as if she were admiring a beautiful work of art. This kind of distorted heart, what is it if it is not a perversion? But for him, this is his pursuit, the pursuit of a lifetime, and now he has found a prey, Hou Xiaoshu, yes is her, the smile on her face is very beautiful, of course, it is for others to say, in his eyes, that kind of smile should not appear, once it appears, he will be extremely excited, because it is his prey, he will not destroy everything for her so quickly this time, because he found that the prey that can meet his needs is really difficult to find. Usually when he finds his prey, he uses the knife in his hand to kill their parents and children, and the kind of art he wants will appear on their faces, and even go crazy from then on, and in order to show that despair more thoroughly, he will even cut the throats of the people they care about little by little in front of those people, and let their blood splash on their faces. Under such torture, five out of ten people will go crazy, and even if five people don't go crazy, they won't have that kind of bright smile, that carefree smile.
"What's your name?" The smile was indeed beautiful, it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen, under the face with long hair, those brown eyes, he had never seen that kind of smile. The little girl's smile seems to wash away the dullness in her heart.
"Jingle bells." He replied that it was obviously a bit unpleasant for a man to call him by that name, but he still said his name, and he would not easily tell others his name. It's just that he doesn't know why, but he is extremely relieved about this little girl, as if he can reveal everything in front of her. The knife made a jingling sound at his waist, and it turned out that under the hilt of the knife, there was a string of wind chimes, which is the origin of his name. The knife is like a kitchen knife, but it is a little longer than a kitchen knife and a little narrower than a kitchen knife, but for him, it makes no difference whether it is a kitchen knife or not. As long as it is a knife, it can kill people in his hands, since they are all murderous knives, why care if it is a kitchen knife or not? So when others laugh at his knife for being like a kitchen knife, he always doesn't refute it, but once he sees the knife at his waist pulled out, no one will think it's a kitchen knife.
"Where are you from?" The girl's eyes were filled with curiosity, not because of the knife, but because of the clothes he was wearing, and his clothes were very coarse, as if he had sewn them out of extremely coarse linen. The earthy yellow color almost blended in with his skin, which was a little darker than ordinary people. His long hair looked so dry, as if it hadn't been washed for a long time, and even if he had washed it, his hair would not become black and shiny, because he seemed to live in a desolate place, and his hair had been dried and withered by the wind and sand, and it was impossible for him to become like an ordinary person.
"Desert." He was honest, which was strange to himself, because he had never been so honest.
"I asked you two questions." The girl smiled, and the dimples on her cheeks bloomed like lotus flowers, revealing two small tiger teeth, which looked extremely cute.
"I know." He nodded his head.
"Then you're not curious about my name?" The girl was surprised and said that no matter who it was, as long as someone asked these two sentences, and he answered very simply. Usually she asks her name, but this person doesn't ask, and she doesn't have the desire to ask at all, which is very strange and makes her curious.
"Why should I know your name?" He asked, but the first question he asked made the girl speechless, because she didn't know how to answer it, and even had an urge to splash the cup of hot tea in her hand on his face, and wash away the face that seemed to be covered with a lot of sand. But she knew that she couldn't, because she was a very educated child, she had never blushed with anyone since she was a child, and she naturally didn't want to today, especially today to go to the temple to worship the gods, but she felt tired and saw a tea stall on the side of the road. Sit down, after all, she is really a little unhappy this time, but she still has to live happily, she admires her father very much, because in her heart, there is no problem that her father can't solve, so she believes that her father can solve this problem.
"Has anyone ever been by your words?" The girl asked curiously.
"Nope." He nodded very affirmatively, he didn't realize that his words could anger others, because he was telling the truth, he really didn't want to know what the girl's name was, although her smile was very good-looking, at least in his heart, but he was not a very curious person.
"Miss, it's better not to talk to strangers too much." There was some disdain in the tone, and some arrogance. A person standing next to the girl, there seemed to be a sharp aura in his eyes, holding a white jade Han sword in his arms, a black brocade robe, wearing a copper crown, wiping his forehead on his forehead, and tying a white jade with a black silk silk, standing behind the girl looked a little brighter. It's just that the arrogance and indifference in his attitude ignore everyone here, and the rough-clothed man who sat opposite the girl and shares the table with him seems to be a beggar in his eyes, and he doesn't even look at it from beginning to end. This tea stall is very small, there are often things to share the table, after all, people come and go, always have to stop here to drink tea, there are many people who naturally don't know people can always sit together, but there are few girls so curious to talk to others. And the man behind him seemed to be a guard, always vigilant around, and at the same time reminding the girl that now she is in a dangerous environment, the girl is naturally Hou Xiaoshu, no matter who is targeted by Chang Si, it is always unsafe. Helplessly, Hou Xiaoshu wanted to come out, but Hou Sihai couldn't stop it, after all, she was her only daughter, so she could only ask him to follow. The person who can reassure Hou Sihai has a status above the rivers and lakes, and he naturally has it, Qin Ming is his name, once he knows the name, he can call his name, chasing the wind sword Qin Ming, the eleventh place in the sword list above the rivers and lakes, and almost the top ten characters, but Qin Ming also knows that the top ten on the sword list is another world in the rivers and lakes, but his eleventh place, Chang Si must be a little deterrent to face the sword list. Maybe this is the mind of everyone who uses a sword, they feel that the sword is noble, and the knife is easy to understand and difficult to master, some people think that Shangguan Bai, who is the first on the sword list, if he can be invincible in the hands of the third on the sword list, it is already something to be proud of, so the arrogance in Qin Ming's heart naturally made his confidence swell a little, after all, Chang Si's sword technique is not obvious in the rivers and lakes.
"You don't look at anyone as a bad person, there are not so many bad people in this world." Hou Xiaoshu turned back to Qin Ming with a dissatisfied face and said.
"Little girl, I don't agree with this sentence, you won't see the good people and bad people in the world." Dressed in white, he slowly came to the table and sat casually in the middle of the two, looking at them with a smile on his face. And the indifferent man standing behind him, holding a thin sword like a black wooden stick on his chest, and the silver plum blossoms on his robe made Qin Ming's pupils shrink behind Hou Xiaoshu. His body was trembling slightly at this moment, as if he was feeling cold.
"Who are you?" Hou Xiaoshu looked at Xiao Bai in surprise, she didn't like Xiao Bai very much, because Xiao Bai's dress was really not worthy of her liking, as Hou Sihai's daughter, she had seen too many people, those famous playboys were Xiao Bai's appearance, and at this time, Xiao Bai's face was smiling like a fake smile, and he even felt that he had a sense of bad intentions.
"Sure enough, it's a little girl, and I'm very curious, but it doesn't matter, my name is Xiao Bai, Xiao Se's Xiao, Bai Bai." Xiao Bai said lightly.
"You're here for tea?" Hou Xiaoshu frowned.
"Nature." Xiao Bai snapped, opened the folding fan in front of him, shook it slowly, and said with a smile.
"Then why don't you call for tea?" Hou Xiaoshu stared at Xiao Bai with a look that had already seen through the conspiracy, haha, Xiao Bai smiled, it was just a good laugh, because Hou Xiaoshu was like a hedgehog in front of him, a very small and cute hedgehog, but Mei Er behind him had a cold face, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him, just standing like a log, Qin Ming's face was ugly, and fine sweat had come out on his forehead. As a person who uses a sword, how could he not recognize Mei Er, the second swordsman on the sword list, who in the whole world can catch his sword, at least Qin Ming can't, he knows that if Mei Er kills him, I'm afraid it will be a waste of strength to even draw a sword. And who else can make Mei Er stand behind him? He doesn't have to think about it anymore, this is the world's No. 1 master Gongzi Bai who fought with the world's No. 1 swordsman in Qianlongtan and won. These two big figures, neither of them can be provoked by themselves, at this time Xiaoshu's words made him feel a storm in his heart, they are people who don't even dare to talk loudly to the emperor, Hou Xiaoshu is so contradictory to Gongzi Bai, if they are angry, how can there be a way to live, he wants to remind Hou Xiaoshu, but it seems that his throat has been held against a sword, and he can't speak if he wants to speak, and he can't even move, which is caused by the terrifying aura emanating from Mei Er's body.
