Chapter 045: Return to the Red Dust
The silent night is lit by firelight, the coming dawn is colored with blood, the quiet mountain village loses its peace, and tension runs rampant between the two sides of the confrontation.
How can a simple villager who doesn't know what martial arts are capable of fighting against those jackal-like villains?
"Let's go, we're all here." As if expecting to hesitate to leave the worries, Gu Lianshan turned his head and smiled brightly, "Everyone just wants to protect you, and you live to live up to us." β
The villagers who have died will never come back, who will pay for this blood debt? Wouldn't the confrontation continue with more innocent people involved and lose their lives? Yan Liwu understands that the villagers of Gujia Village are planning to make a desperate bet, their nature is too kind, and they are so kind that they are willing to give up their lives for a stranger who meets in Pingshui, and she, is she really worthy of someone to continue to die?
The prey of the pursuit was close at hand, and those fierce pursuers would not give Yan Liwu time to think about the value of good and evil, I don't know who shouted first, and then more than twenty skilled accomplices acted in unison, brandishing swords and rushing towards the villagers who were forced to calm down.
It was an extremely tragic scuffle, with many people on one side and strong on the other, and the piercing sound of metal crashing and splashing blood confirmed the depth of the tragedy. By the time Yan Li reacted and rushed into the crowd to help, more than ten villagers had already fallen injured, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.
Compared to the villagers who can only hunt and farm, Yan Liwu obviously has stronger combat effectiveness, but in the face of a large number of enemies, even if he uses all his strength, he will inevitably fall into disadvantage.
"Stop fighting, you can go!" After the void flashed a blow to attack, Gu Lianshan desperately rushed to Yan Liwu's body, and violently pushed her into the woods outside the village, with a pair of eyes full of pleading, "Let's go, hide, don't let them find you!" β
"They're coming for meβ" The voice was almost whimpering.
"I know, I know they're looking for you, that's why we're fighting for you! Let's go, leave the worries ......" Gu Lianshan's tone suddenly softened, he raised his wrist and shook it, squeezing out a smile on his bloodstained face, "You are our 'fairy', I said that I would marry you, everyone...... Everyone just wants to protect you, go as far as possible...... As long as I live, I will one day find you and take you home. β
Family......
Yan Liwu looked sideways, the small village that made her feel relieved was now in shambles, and those villagers were still trying their best to fight the gangsters, and the cause of all this was on her.
If she is a curse, then she must stay away from the people she wants to protect.
Gritting his teeth, he lifted the hoe to knock down another attacker, and slowly fell backwards after stuffing the hoe to the defenseless Gu Lianshan, and reluctantly took one last look at him.
"Let's go." Gu Lianshan stood in place, still with that simple and honest smile, and watched the figure disappear into the forest.
In the east, the white of the fish belly is gradually revealed, and the red sun full of life is about to rise. Yan Liwu ran in the dense mountain forest, not knowing the direction or the destination, just to get rid of the six or seven enemies who were closely following behind him.
If I remember correctly, there should have been more than twenty people coming to the village at that time, not counting the six or seven people chasing her, there were at least thirteen or fourteen people left in the village, could those villagers be able to deal with it? Yan Liwu forced himself to calm down, carefully calculating the possibility of victory for the villagers, and worse, the probability of victory for the enemy was higher.
How about getting rid of these people and then going back to help? But there is such a difference in numbers, and she doesn't understand the strength of the people who are chasing, what method can be used to break through each one?
When Yan Liwu was thinking about it, someone helped her solve the problem neatly.
In the hurry, Yan Liwu didn't notice that there was someone in front of her, and when someone passed her and rushed to the enemy behind, Yan Liwu realized that he seemed to have found a way out. Hurriedly stopped and turned around, only to see the enemy a few feet away suddenly fall into chaos, another abrupt figure flickered and moved in the middle of it, and several brilliant sword lights flowed by, and the six or seven people all fell to the ground screaming.
"Warm Moqing?!" Looking at the rescuer who came calmly after putting his sword into the sheath, Yan Li couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Don't call me by name, it sounds awkward." Wen Moqing frowned dissatisfied, "Count yourself lucky, I arrived in time, otherwise you will become a pile of nameless bones in this mountain forest." β
Wen Moqing's tone was relaxed and lazy, inversely proportional to the pale face of Yan Li, and it was so leisurely that it didn't look like he had just experienced a battle.
Judging from the situation of defeating the pursuers in the blink of an eye just now, Yan Liwu had enough reason to believe that Wen Moqing could be a savior, so without waiting for him to get closer, Yan Liwu raised his feet and hurriedly stepped forward, stretching out his hand and pointing in the direction of Gujia Village: "Save those villagers!" There are still more than a dozen people in the village! β
"Do you think I'm really a god, how many people can face without frowning and invincible?" Wen Moqing sneered, and casually stuffed something into Yan Li's arms, "Just looking for you will make me rack my brains and be tired and half dead, don't send me any more tasks, besides, those villagers are not stupid, they won't run away when they see someone committing murder and beating?" The Night General's men will arrive at the end, save the people, and leave them to them. β
Yan Li lowered his head and looked at the clean Huang Chengjian in his arms.
If she hadn't jumped into the river that day, she wouldn't have been rescued from the river by Gu Lianshan, and Gujia Village wouldn't have suffered bad luck because of her.
"If you don't go, I'll go, it's a big deal to die, it's better than being scolded for not saving death and having no humanity." Holding the sword tightly in his hand, his words were stubborn, looking up at Wen Moqing, and the persistence in his bright eyes was unquestionable.
If her use value is as great as Wen Moqing said, then he won't let her die, right? Yan Liwu waited for Wen Moqing to answer with careful thoughts, but unexpectedly, Wen Moqing was not forced to save people as she wished, but frowned with a solemn expression.
"Do you know how many lives of the people of Li are related to your head? If you fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives, it is likely that thousands of innocent people will suffer from man-made disasters, and I don't want to be a sinner with thousands of blood debts. β
"Don't I have to go if you go to save people? It's not that I want to die. β
Excused herself in vain, Wen Moqing's eyes swept lightly, and then she couldn't help but pull her out of the dense forest.
It always seems that this is the case, whether she wants to or not, Wen Moqing does everything according to his ideas, and never pays attention to her. said that he was for the world and for the common people, but who did he save? In addition to using her as a tool to help a few times, Yan Liwu has never seen Wen Moqing really save anything, if this is the so-called righteousness, she really can't understand it.
Wen Moqing was surprised that his palm was suddenly thrown away, and he stopped and turned around, facing Yan Liwu with an expression he had never seen before, his eyebrows were calm, but he was sharp.
"It's your business to save the world, I'm not so noble, I only know that the people in the village have saved me, and in order to protect me from being slaughtered, if I don't save them and run away alone, then I don't have the face to live in the world."
Huang Chengjian slowly unsheathed in his hand, turned his back to Wen Moqing, and walked forward without hesitation, heading in the direction of Gujia Village.
Wen Moqing stood quietly in place for a moment, watching Yan Liwu take firm steps without looking back, a trace of strange luster flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed and strode after the meteor.
"Go over there and find a bush to hide, I'm not allowed to go anywhere until I get back." Holding down Yan Liwu's wrist and flipping it slightly, Huang Chengjian was retracted into the sheath and hung safely on Yan Liwu's waist. Wen Moqing tightened her cuffs, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she slightly raised the corners of her lips with a faint smile that she couldn't explain: "You owe me a personal favor, and remember it first." Also, I don't know if there are other enemies in the mountains, hide yourself, that's the only condition I can help you save people. β
Yan Liwu nodded vigorously, and for the first time seriously showed gratitude to Wen Moqing.
It occurred to her that maybe he wasn't as cold-blooded and ruthless as she thought.
After Wen Moqing left, Yan Liwu hid in the damp and dense grass as agreed, and sat on his knees under the cover of big trees and overgrown weeds, his eyes always locked on the direction of Wen Moqing's departure. After that, a few more figures hurried by not far away, and they were dressed in the same clothes as the people who were chasing Yan Liwu, but fortunately, Yan Liwu was hidden deep and was not discovered by them.
Who were the people who created the plague, tried to lure her to death outside the barracks, and tracked her to Gujia Village? Is it all the way, or is it the master of each other?
The intricate identity relationship of King Qinglian made Yan Liwu gradually adapt to the life of danger at any time, and when she hid in the forest, her most feeling was not fear, but curiosity, a queen who was removed from the throne and sent into exile, why is it necessary for many people to still chase her? Just because of hatred, or like warmth, for the roster and other things she doesn't know yet?
It seems that her life is destined to be peaceful.
A few hours passed, and when Gujia Village returned to peace, the mess in the village made people feel sad. Gu Lianshan took the villagers to count the corpses and the injured, fortunately, only four villagers in Gujia Village unfortunately died, and the others were only slightly or seriously injured, compared to the perpetrators who almost all died, it can be regarded as a very light loss.
"Thank you for your help, one hundred and twenty-nine people in Gujiacun will remember the kindness of heroes and never forget them!" Gu Lianshan held the arm that he had broken and wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but before his knee touched the ground, he was stopped by Wen Moqing.
"Don't thank me, I was forced to save people." Glancing at the scarred village fans, Wen Moqing lowered his voice, so light that only Gu Lianshan could hear it, "I took Yan away from the worries, she shouldn't stay here, you should treat her as if she never came." β
Gu Lianshan's body trembled, and his voice trembled a little: "But she likes it here!" No matter what happens, I'll protect her! β
"Can you protect it? With what protection? The lives of the old and the young in this village? The tone was a little cold instead of mockery, Wen Moqing tore off the silver bag around her waist and handed it to Gu Lianshan, "She has what she should do and where she should go, and the person who can keep her safe is not you." Shape up or ship out. β
Turning around to go, Gu Lianshan behind him suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Wen Moqing's arm tightly: "That...... Will you protect her? β
If you talk about kung fu, Wen Moqing is far above Yan Liwu, even so many murderers can be subdued, in Gu Lianshan's eyes, he is naturally the best person to protect her, but even the honest and honest Gu Lianshan can see that the relationship between Wen Moqing and Yan Liwu does not seem to be so close.
Will he protect her, should he protect her?
Wen Moqing was slightly stunned, and then laughed dumbly.
"Who knows? But at least, I don't want her to die. β
