Chapter Seventy-Four: Tell Me What Are You Afraid of?
Hakuchi Castle is a relatively large city in Izumo Province. This prosperous city www.biquge.info built on the plains, surrounded by a large number of villages, countless cars and horses, and people, even at dawn, there are old farmers who rush to the morning market, and it is a noisy big city.
Ni Rong'er behind her made a faint breathing sound, and she was already asleep. Usually she has a calm face, but at the moment, the well-behaved appearance behind Su Zhu is very cute, like a sleepy kitten, endearing.
didn't stop much, Su Zhu walked directly towards Boyi City with the sleeping Ni Rong'er on his back. Outside the city gates, there were many refugees, dressed in rough clothes and bunks, sleeping under the city walls, decorating this supposedly prosperous city as if it were a refugee camp.
These lonely people were miserable people who had suffered from the fires of the heavens and the wreaking havoc of the kings, and they could not afford to pay the silver taels needed to enter the city, and their property was destroyed in the midst of the changes, so they were reduced to living in the streets, like beggars.
Su Zhu glanced at it a few times, although he felt sympathy, but he was not ready to do anything. The guards at the gate of the city were drowsy, probably just getting up, and still yawning. Seeing that someone was about to enter the city, he hurriedly raised his head and made a vicious gesture, glaring at Su Zhu.
Su Zhu didn't dare to compliment them on their inferior performance, and they paid the silver taels very well and entered the city.
The sky was dark, there were not many people on the street, some teahouses had just opened, and the shopkeeper was also sleepy and confused.
There is a small seller breakfast on the road, it is some steamed bread or something, Su Zhu entered the city to buy this, and after buying his share and Ni Rong'er's share, he walked straight to the other end of Boyi City, and actually went out of the city directly, towards the inland of Izumo Country.
When it was almost noon, Ni Rong'er, who buried her head behind Su Zhu, woke up. This girl was carried by Su Zhu all the way, which was very comfortable, much more lazy than when she was in the Qinling Mountains.
The dress of a civilian girl can't hide her innate beauty. Ni Rong'er's face is very cute, it is the kind of sultry and seductive but holy and pure angel with a little more youthful childishness on her face, which is even more seductive. She lay behind Su Zhu along the way, and occasionally pedestrians passed by on the road, all of which cast complicated glances - the gaze of Su Zhu was to gnash her teeth, and the gaze of Ni Rong'er was obviously much more obscene.
Ni Rong'er directly ignored those gazes, because in a sense, those gazes were also a compliment. But Su Zhu was quite embarrassed, and many people looked at him with great hatred along the way, making him feel as if he was a demon king who had killed countless people.
Lunch was served on the edge of a lake in the middle of a forest. For this lunch, Su Zhu decided to use fish as the main ingredient, and Ni Rong'er also agreed very much. When she woke up, it was nearly noon, and she was ready to eat breakfast with lunch.
There are a lot of fish in the lake, although Su Zhu has no experience in fishing, but he is better than superhuman physique, and he caught a lot of fish and threw them on the shore in just a while. Ni Rong'er was also very interested in these fish, and the girl reached over with a little trembling, trying to catch a fish, but the fish was slippery and greasy, with a swinging tail, and she broke free directly, not to mention, and splashed her all over the water.
When Su Zhu saw this scene, she couldn't help laughing, Ni Rong'er was very annoyed, snorted, and didn't speak.
Next is the grilled fish, this is not the first time he has grilled fish, he has a little experience, and it didn't take long for the fragrance to be unrestrained. The girl on the side was still calm, but when she smelled the fragrance of fish, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't calm down anymore.
The cozy lunch process was very quiet, Ni Rong'er and Su Zhu were quietly eating fish, enjoying this relaxing moment. Both of them are very quiet, and they enjoy the quiet time more than the lively atmosphere.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps among the forest leaves, Su Zhu looked over, but saw the forest leaves swaying and rustling, and a man walked out of the woods.
This man is dressed in a Jianghu uniform, carrying an antique long sword, with a handsome face, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and a young appearance, which has a bit of the taste of a chivalrous man. When he saw the two of them, he smiled slightly, and one jumped towards the place where the two of them were, very chic.
"Martial arts?" Su Zhu was slightly stunned, seeing that this person's movements and body skills were extremely extraordinary, it was none other than the legendary martial arts man.
Martial arts such a thing really exists, and gifted people can obtain a kind of power of so-called true qi through practicing martial arts, and then they have strength that surpasses ordinary people. For example, when Su Zhu snatched the information left by Mr. Kong Lao in the Dharan Federation, many of those people from other forces in Mali were martial arts people.
What impressed Su Zhu the most was those old men in Mai, their battle was to use their true qi to attack, and what kind of formation would they match, which was very strong. Of course, there is still no power to fight back in front of him.
Although this man is only a small leap, a jump is a long distance, and there are vague energy fluctuations, which can easily make Su Zhu think of the so-called martial arts.
"The two of you are really good Yaxing." The other party smiled and clenched his fists, and said very politely: "In Xia Murong Nan, I unintentionally passed by here, I was seduced by the fragrance of fish, I felt hungry in my belly, I don't know if I can ......."
Su Zhu glanced at Murong Nan, and did not refuse, and said, "Yes." ”
Murong Nan laughed and said thank you, and sat beside Su Zhu with the long sword on his back. Ni Rong'er glanced at Murong Nan, her face was stunned, and then she quickly turned her back, as if she didn't want Murong Nan to see her face.
"In Xia Su Zhu, her name is Ni Rong'er." Su Zhu said.
Murong Nan saw that Ni Rong'er didn't seem to want to see him, and he was puzzled, thinking about when he had provoked this woman, and he didn't dare to say more, so he took a skewer of grilled fish handed over by Su Zhu and ate it very gently.
"Her back seems to be a little familiar......," Murong Nan thought as he ate grilled fish, glancing at Ni Rong'er's back from time to time.
"Could it be...... Could it be ...... It's her! As if he remembered something, Murong Nan's eyes flashed, and he immediately came to a conclusion.
"Thank you for your hospitality, and when you're full, it's time to leave."
Murong Nan got up with a smile, hugged his fists, and said.
"But you've only eaten a bunch of them......
"I eat a small amount of food, and I am not a foodie...... Murong Nan waved his hand.
"But a bunch of fish is so big, won't you be hungry......
"No need, my brother Tai's good intentions are in my heart, but I suddenly remembered that there was something urgent, and I really couldn't wait......"
After speaking, Murong Nan walked away quickly, as if he really remembered something urgent, and looked anxious.
"Brother Tai stays behind...... Eh...... Don't go......"
Looking at it again, Murong Nan was gone.
Su Zhu sat back in place, looked at the grilled fish by the bonfire, and asked lightly, "It's time for you to speak." ”
The girl turned her back to Su Zhu and was silent.
"You've been like this since just now, and now that they're gone, shouldn't you say something?"
Ni Rong'er remained motionless, like a statue.
"Could it be that what Murong Nan has to do with you? For example, what grievances do you have with him, such as his father hacking your grandfather to death...... Well? Still haven't responded? Could it be that he is your fiancé, and then you resist the wedding......" Su Zhu saw that Ni Rong'er was dead and alive, and guessed wildly.
"It's not." Ni Rong'er turned her back to Su Zhu and said softly.
Su Zhu felt that the girl's mood seemed to be very bad, and she was depressed, so she quieted down, stopped talking, and waited for her next step.
After a while, she seemed to fall silent again, without saying a word, still with her back to Su Zhu, not letting him see her face.
The atmosphere in the air seemed a little stagnant, and Su Zhu looked at her.
"Whatever the reason, you should always tell me."
Ni Rong'er's body trembled slightly, but she didn't make any movements or answers.
Su Zhu was impatient, grabbed the girl's shoulder, and turned her around forcefully, regardless of her struggle.
Ni Rong'er's arm kept twisting, trying to break Su Zhu's hand away, but how could her strength be as strong as Su Zhu's, so she had to be pulled by brute force.
"Ahh
Su Zhu was stunned, he saw Ni Rong'er's expression.
A cheek full of fear, a pale face, bloodless lips, and the depths of the originally bright and godly pupils were full of fear.
This kind of expression is the first time Su Zhu has seen it. It was the first time he had seen such an expression on the face of a girl who was always calm.
If it were any other time, maybe Su Zhu would tease and say, "You will be scared too", but not now.
He felt that Ni Rong'er was really scared, and he couldn't even speak.
"What are you afraid of?" Su Zhu looked at her calmly.
The girl bit her lip tightly, not as quiet as autumn water before, just shook her head bitterly, and said nothing.
"You tell me."
Still shaking his head.
"You should understand, you have to tell me, or ......," Su Zhu said indifferently, "I will throw you away." ”
The girl's body trembled slightly, and other emotions began to appear in her big eyes full of fear, mixed together, very complicated.
"I don't say it." Her words were calm, but her tone trembled slightly, but anyone could see that this calm hid a great fear.
She still refused, but at least, she was willing to speak.
At least, it's no longer a simple shake of the head.
