Outside the city of Karju • Chain Moon Mountain

Duan Ming walked on the grassy Lianyue Mountain.

When he got up early in the morning, he rejected Sarong's invitation to go with him to the Firefly Guards. I wanted to sleep a little longer, but I had already developed the instinct of rising from sunrise over the years.

He had no choice but to walk out of the city.

It's a good spring, don't live up to it, he thought.

It was only when he walked to the foot of Lianyue Mountain that he completely shook off the noisy joy behind him.

Thank God.

Good weather can really get people out of bad moods. Duan Ming looked at the green onions all over the mountains, and the jacket on his body was inevitably a little thin in the late spring, and the mountain breeze was slightly cool. However, under the sun, you don't need to be lucky to feel the down-to-earth warmth.

When Shicai passed by Lianyue Lake, he inevitably remembered that on a snowy night that day, he heard the sound and saw the scene where Gui Ying almost died under Tang Quxi's sword.

Yes, since she lost Wen Ling's memory, the Sect Master hadn't assigned the two of them any dangerous tasks. That time was the first time he and Gui Ying lived and died together. It was also the first time he saw Gui Hotaru standing in front of him regardless of his life.

How could he forget such a precious first time?

But she is going to get married today, and she will never fight for herself again like she did that night. Thinking like this, Duan Ming shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Xu was forgetful of climbing, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body at some point. Duan Ming saw a flat slope ahead, so he stopped, raised his head and closed his eyes to feel the increasingly brilliant sunshine.

Another gust of mountain wind blew, mixed with the light smell of the long grass that had frozen to death last year. The smell suddenly reminded him of a night buried deep in his memory, and he opened his eyes and slowly scanned the surroundings, only to realize that this was the last place where he and Wen Ling had seen each other.

That night, the moonlight on Lianyue Mountain was clear, and the air in early winter was not so cold.

That night, she was so gentle with herself, and even said such things as letting herself get out of the Tail Sect.

That night was the first time he saw her crying, and it turned out that her crying appearance was also so beautiful.

That night, she handed over the sword to herself and said her final goodbye.

After that, everything became uncontrollable and irrelevant to me.

For example, she was so badly injured, such as her amnesia, such as when she met Miyahata......

For example, she married Miyahata.

In fact, at the moment when he decided to bless, Duan Ming didn't really make all the plans for the future.

Gui Hotaru is the banner master of the Tail Sect Gangfeng Banner, and he is the original favorite person of the sect leader. Although later, because of Bai Xiaohan's ascension, the sect leader did not assign any tasks to Gangfeng Banner for a long time. But he knew very well that the sect leader's feelings for Wen Ling were definitely not something that Bai Xiaohan could shake and replace. As long as the sect leader comes back, he will definitely find his old favorite again.

Thinking of this, Duan Ming couldn't help but shudder - with the sect leader's heart, if he knew that she was already married to someone else, he would definitely be furious and use all the forces of the Tail Sect to conquer Gangfeng Banner and Da Zhen.

Although he had Sarong's righteous support, there was still a deep fear in Duan Ming's heart.

I don't know why, he always has an intuition that the sect leader has the supreme power in this world, even if he has the backing of millions of heroes, this battle may not be won.

That terrible man......

And if the war really starts, Gui Hotaru will have palace flags to protect him, but he will be adrift in the rivers and lakes. He is not afraid of anything else, but he and Gui Ying are in harmony with each other, if he is discovered by the sect leader at that time, wouldn't it have harmed Gui Ying's life in vain?

His thoughts were deep, and he was caught off guard by a rustling sound behind him, followed by a woman's shrill scream. The cry was really sharp and tight, and it was several times more piercing than You Yong's hissing. Duan Ming covered his ears and turned back suddenly, only to see that it was a girl who had just run down the mountain. When I saw myself for a while, I was also stunned.

"Who are you?"

The girl didn't answer, but still looked at Duan Ming with frightened eyes, as if she was frightened. Duan Ming looked carefully, but saw that the girl was wearing a wood-dyed coarse linen gown, the shirt was thin and worn, the linen cloth had been worn to a little brittle, and the breeze was blowing, sticking to the girl's extremely thin body.

And her face was also smeared with layers of dirt, as if it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. However, although it is not neat, it is difficult to hide its pretty appearance, the girl's white and tender face is handsome and small, especially the chin is the most delicate and durable. At this moment, a pair of eyes are wide open, which makes people feel pity in their hearts.

"I'm sorry, I didn't have any malice..."Duan Ming couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he saw that she seemed to be frightened, "I just... Today... Well, you're not from Katju, are you? They don't allow ordinary people to come up to this mountain, don't you know? ”

The girl listened to Duan Ming's words, but she still didn't say a word, only subconsciously protected a pair of trembling little hands on her chest, and her big eyes were more and more full of tears.

"You... Don't cry. Seeing the girl crying, Duan Ming became more and more flustered, and pinned the sword in his hand behind him helplessly, and then opened a bright smile to the girl with some nervousness, "Look, I won't hurt you." ”

The girl looked at Duan Ming's hands stretched out to her after putting down the long sword, and seemed to feel a little relieved, and slowly put down the fist that was protecting her chest.

"You... Does anyone want to hurt you? ”

The girl was still silent, only looking at Duan Ming fixedly.

"It looks like you can't speak." Duan Ming tried to keep his tone as soft as possible, "Don't worry, I have a sword, and I can protect you." ”

The girl remained silent as usual, looking Duan Ming up and down from head to toe. Her face is really small, and in such a small slap face, her facial features really look very delicate and beautiful.

"Your shoes are all worn out..."Duan Ming looked at the blood-stained toes exposed under the girl's skirt, pointed to the big stone behind him, and said, "Come and sit here." ”

As he spoke, he took his sword and sat down on the rock. Then he smiled warmly at the girl. Duan Ming's smile was so clear and clean, without half impurities. Xu was touched by that smile, the girl thought about it for a long time, and finally slowly moved and walked towards Duan Ming.

The stone that had been basked in the sun for a morning was so warm, and the moment the girl sat on it, she felt refreshed, as if all the hard work she had been working for a long time had disappeared, and she couldn't help laughing.

Duan Ming saw the girl next to him smile, and he didn't feel comfortable, so he raised his head and said, "Why are you here?" The reason I'm here is because my best friend is getting married today, and I don't want to stay in the city of Kaji......"

The girl turned her head to look at Duan Ming beside her, fluttered a pair of thick eyelashes, and a pair of big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak.

"Ahh We have a good relationship... She's well married, I mean, the groom is good. It's just..."Duan Ming said, seeing the girl's puzzled eyes, he was also a little shy for a while, "It's okay... It's a bit complicated, so I won't tell you about it. ”

The girl looked at Duan Ming's flush that spread from the neck socket to her cheeks, blinked, then lowered her head and stepped on her shadow with her feet.

Duan Ming saw that she didn't laugh, make trouble, or speak, so he couldn't help but feel a little cramped: "Let me tell you a story, right?" ”

The girl was not surprised, turned her head again, and winked at Duan Ming.

"One winter ten years ago, there was a little boy in a small fishing village called Yuan'an. The little boy had never seen his parents since he was a child, and he had no home, so he had been begging and stealing for a living. He is very thin, and he doesn't have a decent clothes, his clothes are all picked up, and the old clothes that the adults in the village don't want are very big, just like ... It's even more broken than the one on you! ”

Duan Ming thought he had made a funny joke, and turned his head to look at the girl with a smile. But I saw that the girl was still staring straight at her, and there was no smile on her face.

"And then one day... Yes, it snowed one day. Duan Ming cleared his throat and continued with some embarrassment: "That little boy is so hungry, he walks on the street, and he feels like he is going to faint with hunger. He couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed a roast chicken from the shop next to him, and ran away, gnawing on the roast chicken like crazy while running like crazy. ”

He turned his head to look at the girl, who still didn't show any expression.

Well, at least she's listening. Duan Ming smiled bitterly, thinking so in his heart.

But he was so hungry that he ran to the shore, and before he could get into the woods, he was overtaken by the owner of the roast chicken shop. Oh, and forgot to tell you, it's not the first time the boy has stolen the boss's chicken. In fact, every shop on that street, roast chicken, bean cakes, steamed buns, wontons, rock sugar gourds... The boy had stolen it many times.

The boss was so angry that he took a stick and said that he had to kill the little thief today. As he spoke, he struck the little boy with a stick. But the boy didn't shout or cry, he was so hungry. He was beaten like that, while protecting the roast chicken in his arms with all his might, chewing and swallowing it with a big gulp. ”

Seeing a layer of tears in Duan Ming's eyes, the girl couldn't help biting her lip, lowered her head and continued to look at her shadow.

Just as the little boy was about to be killed, he saw two black-clad figures suddenly appear on the frozen lake. The two figures were one big and one small, and the big one was eight feet tall and a man; The little one was just as tall or as tall as me, not even as tall as me.

At that time, the little boy was already on the verge of losing consciousness, and he couldn't really see it. He seemed to see the two black-clad figures slowly walking towards the shore, and then, as if they saw the little boy, the little figure, they raised their hands and lowered the hood of their cloaks.

It was a little girl.

The moment he saw the girl's face, the boy felt as if he had fallen into his own dream. He had never seen such a beautiful face in his life. Her eyes were like black pearls from the Yuan River that fishermen had struck, and her skin was whiter than snowflakes falling from the sky.

Then, the girl turned to the man behind her who hid his face in the hood, and she spoke.

He's going to die. She said.

The little boy had been hit several times on his head, and his ears were ringing, and he could no longer hear what the man was saying.

He was indeed going to die.

'Ling'er, you go and try it. That's what he seems to say.

Then, it all really feels like a dream. The little boy saw the girl fly to his side at once, and with a slight wave of his hand, the stick rolled on the ground with the owner of the roast chicken shop.

The little boy lay in the snow, and when he saw the corner of the girl's skirt not far away, he stretched out his hand with difficulty, trying to grab it.

He had never seen such spotless skirt corners.

But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't catch it.

With the last of his strength, he braced himself up with his hands. In the last moments of losing consciousness, he heard the girl speak to himself.

'What's your name?' ’

'Duan Ming, what about you? ’

However, the girl did not speak, or perhaps the boy had lost consciousness and did not hear the girl's answer.

He fainted at the girl's feet. ”

"And then?"

Duan Ming was immersed in the lingering memories, and only then did he realize that the girl next to him had spoken.

"You... Can you speak? ”

"And then what happened to the little boy and the little girl?"

"Ahh And then they- ah! ”

A sharp pain suddenly came from his right hand, and Duan Ming raised his hand to see that blood was already gushing out.

It's Gui Hotaru......

Almost immediately losing his mind, Duan Ming instantly bounced up from the boulder, picked up his sword and rushed down the mountain, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hey... You're that little boy! ”

The girl looked at the bottom of the mountain where Duan Ming's back disappeared, and she felt a little melancholy in her heart.

"My name is Pei Shuiqing......"

A gust of mountain wind blew through the girl's long hair. She sighed softly, as if saying goodbye to the sudden and sudden encounter of Shicai.

"I thought you could save me......"

She tilted her head and let the sun shine on her face.

Under the beautiful sunshine, the smell of freedom in the air will not be known for the next time.

She smiled, thinking to herself.

The first part of "The Little Princess of Killer" is finished in full
