Chapter XII
The ashes are snow-white, with an icy cold in the morning. Ding Xiaoxiao opened his eyes, and a trace of coolness invaded his skin.
A stack of clothes was handed in front of him, and Ding Xiaoxiao looked up, just in time to see a white mask, a cold face and eyes.
"Put it on, we're on our way." Dust cutting road.
"Who are you?" Ding Xiaoxiao asked.
"The one who saved you." Dust cut replied.
"Why did you save me?" Ding Xiaoxiao looked at Shi Wei's back and asked again.
Shi Wei sat not far away, with his back to Ding Xiaoxiao, silent.
"There's so much going on in Broken Sky Castle, they should be chasing you too. It's a coincidence that we saved you yesterday, and now the girl will take care of herself. "Dust cutter.
After Ding Xiaoxiao changed his clothes, Cutting Chen and Shi Wei were already standing outside the door of the dilapidated house. Cutting dust said: "Take care of yourself, girl, it's better to bypass the boundary of Broken Sky Castle and go home as soon as possible." Leave! ”
Shi Wei still didn't say a word. Stand quietly not far away. Ding Xiaoxiao said to the judge: "I am Ding Xiaoxiao of the Ding family in Los Angeles, the little woman is grateful for the benefactor's life-saving feelings, dare to ask the benefactor's name?" ”
Cutting dust was in the distance for an instant, and said, "Take care, girl." "Cutting dust never thinks of himself as a good person, and he will not leave the name of a good person.
Ding Xiaoxiao walked behind Shi Wei and called softly: "Xiaoxiao thanked Gongzi for saving his life, I don't know what Gongzi is called?" ”
Other people's affairs have nothing to do with themselves, Shi Wei has always remembered this sentence. Keeping it irrelevant to others does not bring entanglement, does not bring pain and trouble. Therefore, Shi Wei has never had anything to do with anyone other than the person who must be contacted.
Ding Xiaoxiao waited for Shi Wei to answer, but Shi Wei didn't even turn his head and walked away. Ding Xiaoxiao stood alone in place, looking at the black back.
A suburban rest shop near the boundary of the Broken Sky Castle.
"Did you hear that? Something big has happened to Broken Sky Castle! A few people at a table rested and talked about recent events.
"I've heard that." A person from the other table immediately came to this table, and said with flying eyebrows: "The young master of Tiancheng is lustful, everyone knows it." This is not the main birthday banquet, he is preparing for the birthday banquet, and at the same time he picks a beautiful woman for himself. Who knows, there's a knife on the head of the color word. I don't know which way the enemy is, this beautiful woman with a thorn killed the castle owner. The latter sentence clearly lowered the voice.
"No, no, no!" Another said, "I've heard that this beautiful woman wasn't brought back, but was hidden in a box for the birthday feast." ”
"It's a pity, if you want to kill it, you should also kill this young master, the castle master is much better than that young master except for his precious son." One person and a bowl of tea went down, smacking his lips.
"What did you find?" One person sat next to Yatong, and Yatong asked.
"I heard rumors that the woman they said was the one who made trouble in the Heaven Breaker Castle was the same as the young lady. However, it is impossible for Miss's kung fu to hurt the castle master of the Broken Heaven Castle. The man replied anxiously, "What shall we do now?" ”
"Let's look for it near the Broken Heaven Castle Boundary first." Akira Road. Ya Tong was a little worried about this mission, and frowned.
"Where are we going?" Shi Wei asked Juchen without emotion.
"Two choices. One is to go to Murong Gate. Instead, he was waiting for Murong Men here. Murong Men is the in-laws of Broken Heaven Castle, the maiden family of the castle owner's wife, and Luo Tiancheng's uncle's family. "Do you choose one?" ”
"Do you know anything else?" Shi Wei asked.
"Yes." Cutting Chen paused and said, "But, don't you think that this Broken Heaven Castle Lord died strangely?" ”
Shi Wei almost never thought of the word strange, because the people who were solved by Shi Wei all died strangely in the eyes of outsiders. Besides, Shi Wei didn't think that this matter had anything to do with Sijianglou, after all, the enemies of the rivers and lakes had their own ways to seek revenge.
"Do you see the word 'Yue'?" Cutting dust knew Shi Wei's general thoughts and asked.
"Hmm."
"Before Master's accident, I overheard him talking to someone. Although the content was not clear, when the man left, the master said several 'Yue Alliance Masters'. If this is the joy I heard that time. Having said this, Shi Wei naturally knew what it meant.
Silent for a moment, Shi Wei said; "I'll go to Murong Gate to have a look."
"It's okay, for such a big matter as Broken Heaven Castle, the master of Murong Gate will definitely go to Broken Heaven Fort in person, so that you can see if there are any clues in Murong Gate." "I'll stay here." ”
Shi Wei nodded and turned to leave.
"Shiwei." Cutting dust shouted. "I'm really curious, what is your purpose?"
"And what is your purpose?"
The cut was silent.
Shi Wei was silent, turned around and left, and rushed to Murong Gate.
Although Broken Sky Castle is also a great martial artist in the rivers and lakes, it still stirs up a layer of waves on the relatively calm water surface of the rivers and lakes. For a while, there was a lot of talk everywhere. After Murong Men received the news of Broken Heaven Fort, he immediately set off for Broken Heaven Fort, Luo Tiancheng cried very sadly in front of Luo Zhengming's coffin, his face was haggard, and his eyes were empty and he was not pretending. It's just a pity that this person has no other benefit than filial piety.
The master of Murong Gate was already working in a town not far from Broken Heaven Fort, and as soon as he heard that something had happened to Broken Heaven Fort, he immediately rushed over, and as soon as he arrived at Broken Heaven Fort, he investigated the matter with Luo Tiancheng, and the only person they could lock down was Ding Xiaoxiao. immediately came down to chase and kill the order, and it was bound to take down Ding Xiaoxiao. But it was done in secret.
When it was dark and there was no place to stay, Shi Wei set up a fire under a tree and barely survived the night. Seeing that the fire was burning vigorously, Shi Wei leaned his back against the trunk of the tree. The night is not black, but inky blue.
After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Shi Wei suddenly frowned slightly. There was no wind, but the leaves were moving. The sparse sound is getting closer.
Shi Wei's eyes suddenly opened, and the fire almost went out, and then burned even more vigorously. After a few whoosh sounds, someone fell to the ground with a muffled sound. Ding Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in fright, and his fingers grabbed the bark, and the touch of the rough bark was obvious.
Turning his head sideways, Shi Wei, dressed in black, walked to the fire and sat down, as if what had just happened had never happened.
"Thank you, you saved me again." Ding Xiaoxiao had already walked to the fire and sat down together.
"Why follow me?"
"Why did you save me?"
Shi Wei and Ding Xiaoxiao said together.
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled, and Shi Wei was expressionless.
"Thank you." Ding Xiaoxiao played with the corners of his clothes with his fingers and said seriously for a long time.
Shi Wei stared at the fire and was silent.
Thank you. These are three words that few people say to themselves.
The best way to make others unrelated to you is to cut off any way to connect with others, and the fastest and most direct way is to reduce the amount of talk you have with others. Shi Wei knows this very well. So I didn't say anything to Ding Xiaoxiao again.
No one follows someone who ignores them for no reason. When the time comes, Ding Xiaoxiao will want to leave.
Early morning. The sky is lit up. Cloudy.
The fire had been extinguished, and the remaining branches were scattered in the ashes. Shi Wei opened his eyes, but saw Ding Xiaoxiao staring at him. Seeing Ding Xiaoxiao looking at him, for a moment, Shi Wei felt a little scared in his heart.
"Eun Gong, you're awake." Ding Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Shi Wei still didn't speak, and Ding Xiaoxiao was not annoyed, two or three steps followed Shi Wei's steps and walked behind.
Because of the remoteness of the road, the two walked for a long time before they came across a populated road, and there were food sellers on the side of the road. The weather was gloomy and gloomy, and even the people were listless, and the shops were sitting and watching the passers-by who appeared on the road from time to time, and they did not shout, looking like "if you want to buy it, you can come by yourself, and if you don't buy it, forget it".
After experiencing such a big thing, and following Shi Wei for so long, Ding Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw eating. But Shi Wei didn't seem to want to stay here. Ding Xiaoxiao followed Shi Wei to a noodle shop with joy, and got closer and closer to the noodle shop with gratitude, but Shi Wei didn't look at these families and walked away. Ding Xiaoxiao's mood suddenly became very heavy, she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she couldn't afford to buy a bowl of noodles, but because Shi Wei didn't stop, she didn't stop.
When passing by the last steamed bun shop, Ding Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Engong, aren't you hungry after walking for so long?" ”
Shi Wei heard this, but she felt that Ding Xiaoxiao should be very hungry at this time, if she was very hungry, she would stay here to eat something, at least buy something, so that she would leave herself. So Shi Wei didn't answer Ding Xiaoxiao.
Shi Wei kept hurrying forward, and in order to reach Murong Gate as soon as possible, Shi Wei used light power in a place where there was no one. Ding Xiaoxiao secretly rejoiced that he had learned kung fu and was able to barely hold on to his temporarily weak body to keep up with Shi Wei.
Shi Wei is one step, Ding Xiaoxiao is one step; Shi Wei took one step, Ding Xiaoxiao took two steps; Shi Wei is one step, Ding Xiaoxiao is three steps.
One moment he saw the ground, but the next moment he felt uncomfortable and his eyes were black, and Ding Xiaoxiao lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"Dad, mother, Xiaoxiao is okay outside. Do not worry. As if his father and mother were really worried, Ding Xiaoxiao said hurriedly: "Really, you see, I'm fine." ”
Shi Wei sat on the side, quietly, as if listening to Ding Xiaoxiao talking in his dreams, and as if he didn't care about anything, because Shi Wei's eyes didn't fluctuate.
A rich child like Ding Xiaoxiao can be regarded as being able to endure hardships if she faints from hunger like this, she is kind in her heart and yearns for the rivers and lakes, if her kung fu can be improved, she may also be able to gain some fame in the rivers and lakes.
Shi Wei got up and walked to the window.
If Shi Wei lives in a hotel, he usually chooses an upstairs room with a window, and if there is only one floor, it must also have a window. Sometimes he just stood quietly by the window, sometimes he sat in a chair at the window, Shi Wei never thought about whether this was a liking or not, nor did he think about the reason for doing so, in short, when Wei found out that this was already a habit that lasted for a long time, it was so long that people were too lazy to dig into why.
In the distance are green hills, layer upon layer, and the color slowly turns from dark to light. It was already afternoon, and there were not many vendors near the inn, and there were very few people coming and going. It's a very ordinary little place, and I didn't care what the name of the place was. If it weren't for being scolded by an uncle when he was walking on the road with Ding Xiaoxiao on his back, Shi Wei would not have been able to get here.
The uncle saw Ding Xiaoxiao hanging on Shi Wei's back, as if he saw his daughter being taken care of, and yelled at Shi Wei.
"I'm talking about you, I'm talking about you, boy!" Shi Wei glanced at the uncle who was still green but his face was blue, and the uncle raised his voice and said, "Boy! You just don't care about your woman! Feel free to resist on your back like an anti-thing! ”
Shi Wei has encountered many strange things, but this is the first time that something strange has happened. It's the first time I've yelled at her like this, "boy" and "your woman".
"There is an inn not far ahead, no matter what you are anxious about, you shouldn't let your women suffer."
Shi Wei said "yes" to the old man. Not far after walking out, the old man followed again, and he had to send Shi Wei to the inn. Shi Wei wanted to take Ding Xiaoxiao to continue his journey, but in this situation, he followed the old man to this place.
If others were told like this, they would definitely be annoyed, but they stayed here at Shi Wei and did not provoke any reaction.
"It's all on the table." Obviously, Shi Wei didn't turn around, and Ding Xiaoxiao also felt that he didn't make any sound, but Shi Wei knew that she was awake, and she also knew that this sentence was said to herself.
Ding Xiaoxiao was so hungry that when she saw it, she picked it up and put it in her mouth, not looking like a rich girl at all. Ding Xiaoxiao coughed violently and choked on his face.
"Don't rush to eat when you're hungry." Shi Wei arrived again, listened to Ding Xiaoxiao coughing for a while, walked away from the window and poured a glass of water and handed it to Ding Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you...... Thank you. Ding Xiaoxiao said while covering his chest with one hand and holding water in the other. Shi Wei saw that her eyes were filled with tears because of the violent cough.
After softening down a little, Ding Xiaoxiao slowly chewed the food, looked at Shi Wei who was reading the book on the side, and called carefully: "Engong." ”
"What's the matter?" Shi Wei turned the page and said.
"You can eat some too." Ding Xiaoxiao looked at the sky through the window, and estimated that Shi Wei might not have eaten by then.
Shi Wei closed the book and saw Ding Xiaoxiao hand her a cake.
"Eun Gong is hungry too." Ding Xiaoxiao took the cake and shrugged forward again.
Shi Wei took the cake, put it in his mouth, and ate it. I opened the book again and read it. If Shi Wei looked up at Ding Xiaoxiao, she would see that Ding Xiaoxiao had a smile in his eyes.
"Eun Gong finally ignored me." Ding Xiaoxiao said in his heart. I didn't know what to think in my heart, Ding Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Shi Wei a few times.
The last bite of the cake has not yet been delivered to his mouth, and although Shi Wei maintains the posture of reading a book, his attention is not on the book.
Outside, someone approached. Suspicious sneaky people.
These days, I have encountered a lot of killers on the road, and according to the reasoning, Shi Wei naturally knows who sent it and who the target is. It's just that Shi Wei couldn't figure out why Broken Sky Fort grabbed Ding Xiaoxiao and didn't let go, the matter was in front of him, how to speculate that Ding Xiaoxiao should not be the mastermind or instigator of the matter. The more he couldn't figure it out, the more Shi Wei wanted to go to Murong Gate as soon as possible to find out what was going on, and if it had nothing to do with Sijiang Tower, it would be better to withdraw earlier.
Shi Wei closed the book, got up and slowly walked towards Ding Xiaoxiao. She was dressed in black, and she was calm and calm when dealing with things, and she didn't say a word. Ding Xiaoxiao looked at Shi Wei walking towards him like this, and suddenly panicked, and kept asking himself what was wrong.
Ding Xiaoxiao was just about to speak, but Shi Wei raised his hand to block her mouth with the back of his hand, signaling her not to make a sound. This sudden move made Ding Xiaoxiao's eyes widen and he became nervous somehow. His gaze slowly moved down, and Ding Xiaoxiao saw his nose and Shi Wei's hand. The joints are distinct, the complexion is slightly yellow, and the fingers are slender, but some of the joints are bulging outward, which is not a good hand.
Outside.
Yatong said to a few people, "I'll solve it, you go into the house to find your young lady." ”
Several people exchanged some glances and quickly left.
Outside the house, there was the sound of tiles being trampled. Shi Wei waited quietly, while Ding Xiaoxiao's thoughts drifted to somewhere, and he didn't notice the sound of a fight outside the house at all.
The door of the house was suddenly opened, and Ding Xiaoxiao saw the few people who came in, his face changed, and he was so frightened that he hid behind Shi Wei.
"Miss!"
"We've found you! Come back with us. The first one said.
"I'm not going back. I don't. ”
"The lord and the lady are very worried about the young lady, so the young lady will go back obediently."
"Nope! I don't! Ding Xiaoxiao hid behind Shi Wei with half of his body, rushing at a few people.
The fighting outside the house ended, and then another man came in at the door, but this person Ding Xiaoxiao didn't know.
The man was a little stunned as soon as he came in and only glanced at it, Ding Xiaoxiao thought he was looking at himself, and was about to ask, but the man said first: "Ah Shi, why are you here?" ”
Ding Xiaoxiao heard the man call the engong next to him "Ah Shi". Confused. She raised her face to look at Shi Wei, but what she saw was the same as usual, with an unchanged face and no expression of emotion.
"Are you looking for her?" Shi Wei asked.
"Yes." It was Ya Tong who noticed Ding Xiaoxiao behind Shi Wei and glanced at it.
"Are they from the L.A. Ding family?" Shi Wei asked again.
"Yes." Akira replied.
"Public ......"
"Don't worry, it's me." Yatong interrupted the Ding family's words and said, and felt that something was wrong with the words, so he re-said, "I know this person, and you wait outside for a while, your young lady will not be harmed here." ”
Since he was invited by the master, he had also seen kung fu, and the Ding family said, "Okay, son, we are waiting outside the house." ”
"You've found someone, you can escort her back." Shi Weidao.
"Ah Shi. You. Yatong paused, "I haven't been back for a long time." ”
"Granny Luo said I miss you."
"I'm worried about you, too."
Yatong said these words slowly, and Shi Wei listened quietly. In fact, I also want to talk about my mother-in-law, and occasionally I think about where Yatong is doing at this time. It's just that she never said it. What's the use of saying that?
"Akiri." Shi Wei shouted, "What is your mission?" ”
"Protect her. Send her back to Los Angeles. Yatong glanced at Ding Xiaoxiao, who had let go of Shi Wei.
"I'm not going back!" Ding Xiaoxiao puffed up again.
"Why don't you go back?" Akira asked.
"I don't want to implicate my family. I'm still going to roam the rivers and lakes. Ding Xiaoxiao said.
"My mission is to protect you until I send you back to Los Angeles, I'm sorry." Yatong pointed to Ding Xiaoxiao's acupoint and said.
"You let go of me! I'm going back to Broken Sky Castle, and that dog thing is going to find my house! ”
"Even if you don't go back, it's hard to guarantee that Tianbao and Murong Men won't come to Los Angeles to hurt your family and threaten you." Akira Road.
"Murong Men is already in the Broken Heaven Castle?" Shi Wei asked.
"Yes. What's the matter, Ah Shi. ”
Shi Wei was silent, thinking hard about anything but couldn't think of anything.
"Yatong, do you know who gave the order to hunt her down?"
"On the day Murong Men arrived at Broken Heaven Castle, he sent several groups of people, I think it was Murong Men."
If Murong Men had known everything that had happened in the Broken Heaven Castle, how could he have issued an order to only hunt down Ding Xiaoxiao. The reason why Murong Men did this was either to conclude that Ding Xiaoxiao was the murderer, or to use Ding Xiaoxiao as a scapegoat.
So which one is it?
Shi Wei made a few gestures to Yatong, Yatong shook his head, Shi Wei changed a few more gestures, Yatong nodded, and then Shi Wei asked Yatong in this codeword; "Can you leave her behind?"
Akiri was tempted to ask why, but he replied in the same codeword; "There is no time limit given above, so it should be okay."
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, change places." Shi Weidao.
"I have a lot of questions." Akira Road.
"I'll tell you if you need to." Shi Weidao.
Ding Xiaoxiao couldn't see what the two were doing, but the sudden silence of both of them made her feel very worried.
"Miss Ding, just like you are worried, you don't want to go back and affect your family, so can you please write a letter to Los Angeles to explain the situation, I can continue to protect you outside for a while."
Although it was strange why Yatong suddenly changed his mind, Ding Xiaoxiao was happy to agree when he heard such a result. After Yatong relieved her acupoint, she immediately wrote a letter and asked the two Ding family members to send them back to Los Angeles as soon as possible.
