A few stout entourages opened the way in front, Zhao Mingtao and Xia Ruixi walked in the middle, behind them were the mother-in-law of the Xia family tied into a string, and finally, it was Zhao Mingtao's people, pressing the formation and monitoring every move of the people in front, whoever wanted to be honest would give it to whom.

Zhao Mingtao walked extremely fast, Xia Ruixi stumbled behind him, speechless: "Your people won't do anything to Beibei and Chun'er, right?" They are just too scared and timid to want to run. ”

"They're just too timid, so small that they don't know how to fight against me." Zhao Mingtao's voice was faint, Xia Ruixi could only see the back of his head, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he didn't know whether he was angry or violent, or expressionless, in short, it wouldn't look good.

"Don't be angry, just find them, don't beat them, okay? My dad also loves Beibei. And Chun'er, I like her very much, if something happens to her, I will die of sadness. Xia Ruixi actually knew that if Zhao Mingtao really wanted to marry the Xia family, he would not do anything to Xia Ruibei, but she was very worried about Chun'er, but she was afraid that Chun'er would suffer a lot.

"You're talking too much." Maybe he thought she talked too much, maybe Zhao Mingtao was irritable, no matter how many topics Xia Ruixi found, he was silent, ignored her at all, and just concentrated on walking.

After Xia Ruixi dragged on for a while, he stopped and began to hum: "My feet hurt, I'm hungry." As soon as she stopped, all the people who followed her stopped.

Zhao Mingtao turned his head and looked at her coldly: "You don't want me to cook raw rice here and cook rice, do you?" ”

Xia Ruixi looked at the steep and precipitous environment around him, which was not suitable for him to cook, so he blinked his eyes and said aggrievedly: "What I said is true, I have only drunk two cups of tea since I got up this morning, and I haven't eaten anything else." My feet really hurt too, I climbed the mountain by myself yesterday, and the bubbles on the soles of my feet broke. I've grown so big and I've never walked this far. ”

Zhao Mingtao stared at her for a long time, Xia Ruixi looked at him innocently, "If you don't believe it, I can show you, if you insist on forcing me to go, I can also go, but I will walk very slowly." She gestured to sit down and take off her shoes.

Zhao Mingtao frowned: "Then what do you want?" ”

"Let me rest for a while, just for a while, I promise I won't get into trouble." Xia Ruixi tried to make his expression look pitiful. It's been such a long time, and there is still no news from the people who went to chase Xia Ruibei and Chun'er, she firmly believes that no news is good news, how can she not be full of hope and not delay for a while? I'm so sorry for people.

Xia Ruixi sat pitifully on the stone by the roadside, sighing for a long time, holding her leg and hammering and rubbing it regardless of the image, she was really tired and hungry, and her feet were also very painful.

"Gone!" Zhao Mingtao stood up with a sigh, picked up Xia Ruixi and left. No matter what Xia Ruixi said or how he cheated, he ignored it with a calm face.

Xia Ruixi saw that it was useless to be lazy, so he had to limp behind him. The mountain road became more and more difficult, and the fire on the soles of her feet hurt from the fire, and her legs trembled. The waiting time was particularly long, and with Zhao Mingtao's voice: "If you bear with it, it will be easy to walk in half an hour, and there will be a sedan chair to sit on." Xia Ruixi's last bit of faith collapsed, and there was probably no one to save her. As soon as she was desperate, she couldn't hold on any longer, and simply sat down on the ground: "I can't walk!" Do whatever you like! ”

Zhao Mingtao frowned, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and glared at Xia Ruixi viciously, but when he saw her sweaty sideburns, red face, listless expression, scratched by thorns, her skirt covered with mud, and the crooked hairpin ornament on her head, he began to believe that she really couldn't walk. Think about it, a pampered young lady like Xia Ruixi is rare to climb the mountain by herself yesterday, not to mention that she has to go down the mountain by herself today?

Zhao Mingtao wanted to understand this problem, and his attitude was much better, "I'll take a look." He squatted in front of Xia Ruixi, and when Xia Ruixi reacted, he had already taken off one of her shoes, and Xia Ruixi shrank his feet consciously: "What are you doing?" ”

His hands were like iron tongs, and she would not be allowed to shrink her feet, and she continued to take off her socks. When the socks faded to the soles of the feet, they were already stuck to the broken soles of the feet. Zhao Mingtao probably hadn't served anyone before, and felt a little sticky, so he pulled his socks and pulled them down violently, "Ouch! Xia Ruixi gasped in pain, took a breath of cool air, shrank his foot suddenly, became angry, and yelled: "It hurts to death!" What are you doing! As soon as the roar came out, Zhao Mingtao's subordinates all looked very strange.

Xia Ruixi couldn't wait to kick Zhao Mingtao's handsome face twice and kick him into a pig's head. It's a pity that she doesn't dare, she can only hold her feet with tears in her eyes and hiss, stinky man, not to mention that he is ruthless and vicious, just because he can't serve people, she can't marry him, of course, this is when she can escape his clutches.

She didn't dare to kick him, but she could still express her grievances and dissatisfaction: "You don't believe me, suspect that I lied to you, you can let me get rid of it myself." It's good now, the whole layer of skin is gone, anyway, I can't walk, I want to kill or chop, listen to the respect. ”

Zhao Mingtao was a little embarrassed, and then felt that his dignity had been damaged. He originally wanted to see what Xia Ruixi's feet had become, but his good intentions did bad things, and in front of his subordinates, Xia Ruixi yelled at him so facelessly, telling him how to behave in front of his subordinates in the future?

The more Zhao Mingtao thought about it, the more angry he became, and stared at Xia Ruixi with a calm face, but Xia Ruixi put on a rogue who wanted me to leave without a door, and he didn't take him seriously at all. He glared at Xia Ruixi for a while, and pointed to a mother-in-law behind her: "Untie her rope and let her carry someone." ”

The mother-in-law carried Xia Ruixi on her back, and the group walked silently on the mountain road again.

Walk to a relatively gentle, wooded spot and "Whew!" A masked man jumped out of the woods beside the road, coughed twice, and said, "Bah! I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road wealth! ”

There are bandits here? Zhao Mingtao's people were stunned and didn't say a word, "Cangchang!" "With a sound of the sword unsheathed, he stepped forward and slashed.

"Ah, more like a thief than the uncle! Could it be that he is here to rob the uncle's job? That's not going to work! "The man was in a flurry of shape, like playing a game, and one moment he grabbed A's knife and threw it at B, and the next moment he untied B's belt and threw it at C, and everyone was in a mess, and the knives flew wildly.

A knife flew over with Zhao Mingtao, and then flew back with Xia Ruixi's mother-in-law on his back. The mother-in-law: "Mom! With a strange scream, Xia Ruixi who didn't care about the back sat on the ground, and Xia Ruixi was dizzy and couldn't get up for a long time, but Zhao Mingtao couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand to pull her up.

Xia Ruixi was very angry, but she didn't have the courage to rub her ass in front of so many people, this thief is really hateful, fortunately this is in a relatively gentle place, if it was in those dangerous places before, she would not have to roll down the mountain and fall into seven or eight pieces.

Seeing that this person was not a simple bandit, and it was difficult to deal with, the people behind came up to protect Zhao Mingtao and Xia Ruixi.

To say that there will be bandits here, Zhao Mingtao absolutely does not believe it. And with this person's skills, it can't be an ordinary bandit. Xia Ruixi is also guessing the identity of that person, is it because he dares to rob so many people by himself? Or is it because he is the person Xia Ruibei and the others invited to help?

Zhao Mingtao looked at Xia Ruixi: "This is the person your father invited to protect you?" If so, I will tell them not to take his life, lest they end up hurting the harmony of the two families. ”

What about her? She is not so stupid, whether it is or not, Xia Ruixi has to say no, so that she can escape while the chaos, so she said with certainty: "I don't know him." However, I don't think he is like a thief, maybe he is another enemy of yours who has done a lot of evil. ”

Zhao Mingtao stared at her and said, "Then if I kill him, you won't blame me?" ”

Xia Ruixi stretched out his hands: "What does his life or death have to do with me?" Yikes! Your men can't resist it, go and help! Otherwise, it will be a shame to spread the word that so many of you can't beat one person. ”

The man looked back at her when he heard the voice, his eyes were bent into the moon, and he said very clearly: "What a ruthless woman, the lord originally took pity on you for a delicate flower, and was about to be urged by a hot hand to make flowers for the Buddha, who knows that your woman's mind is poisonous, but she just happens to be my wife." ”

Zhao Mingtao was very angry when he saw that person actually teasing Xia Ruixi in front of him, he already believed that this person was definitely not an ordinary thief, Xia Ruixi's words were not completely unreasonable, this should be the strange people from the rivers and lakes brought by his third brother, who came to trouble him. He laughed, looked at the man and said, "I'm going to kill you with my own hands!" He took off his coat, revealing the compact and lean stub inside: "Get out of the way!" "He has a good figure, not the kind of noble boy who is full of food and has nothing to do all day long.

The master was about to do it himself, and Zhao Mingtao's entourage quickly collected their weapons, retreated to the side quietly, and looked at their master with admiration.

Zhao Mingtao's aura is very strong, even Xia Ruixi, a rookie who doesn't know anything, can feel his compelling momentum. The man didn't care, and laughed: "Yo! can't see that the pink and handsome boy is also a practitioner. This capital is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, come on! Let's practice! ”

The four words pink and handsome angered Zhao Mingtao, he stepped forward with a gloomy face and kicked the masked man mercilessly, his feet were fast and powerful, and the angle was tricky, there was no ten or eight years of kung fu that could not be practiced, the masked man sighed, turned around and flashed, and the two of them fought back and forth.

Xia Ruixi looked at the fight between the two in front of her curiously, their every move made her feel like she was watching a martial arts movie, but she only knew that they were fighting very well, and she couldn't see who was more powerful, and she didn't care, what she cared about was whether she could take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to run away.
