Chapter 6: Fragments on the ground
Red Snow City, Crouching Tiger Xuan.
Yuekai did what he said, and sure enough, he came to the door early this morning to ask for relatives. It's just that when he arrived at the door, he didn't see the shadow of the Pain Dragon, and Yue Kai disdained it in his heart: Hmph! Tong Crying Dragon, are you so gutsless!
Listening to his explanation, Luo Huqiu, Liu Ling, and Mr. Tiejing looked at each other. For Luo Huting's lifelong event, Luo Huqiu also had a headache from time to time, and he also thought that if she was still in Xiliuying now, who would Ting'er end up with? After all, at that time, not only Ah Long, but also Ye Gong, Zongdao and some other disciples of the same generation were also very good with Ting'er.
After thinking about it and thinking about countless possibilities, Luo Huqiu was dejected to find that among these people, the one who was least favored by him was the painful dragon with Ting'er's childhood sweetheart. Not only because he is always passive in getting along with Ting'er, but also because he never asks Ting'er what he thinks when he encounters things, but only solves them in the way he thinks is right. However, these methods are often seen by others as soft, stubborn and evasive.
Just like when he refused to go with Ting'er, he stopped the dragon's anger by a silent person; after coming to Chixue City, he clearly missed Ting'er, but he didn't dare to show up because of the appearance of the moon armor; finally the two finally reunited, Luo Huqiu was going to let go and let it be natural, but he felt that he couldn't face the moon armor who had a good relationship and hid outside the city.
Alas, thinking about the fact that he has been crazy these days and is looking for the sister of the Pain Dragon, Luo Huqiu is distressed, and he really wants to promise Moon Armor now. But he understands Ting'er's temperament, in case he agrees privately without asking her, she can't control it when she starts a fire. Therefore, in the face of Yue Kai's eager gaze, Luo Huqiu had a headache and didn't know what to do.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Yue Kai couldn't help asking, "What does Brother Luo think?" "What about this......" Luo Huqiu said with some embarrassment, "Yue Kai, you also know Ting'er's temperament." You still have to ask her about this matter before I can give you an answer. β
Yue Kai listened but was a little unimpressed: "The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother." What's more, the marriage event is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents. As long as Brother Luo and his sister-in-law agree, isn't it okay?" Luo Huqiu and the three of them couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, they couldn't imagine that Yue Kai, who had been in Red Snow City for so long, would say such orthodox words.
Luo Huqiu was about to speak, but Liu Ling had already preemptively said: "That's what I said, but Brother Yue, what you want to marry is Ting'er after all." If we promise to do so on her behalf, and she doesn't want to, do you want us to tie her up in a sedan chair?"
"This ......," Moon Armor said. Mr. Tiejing stood up: "Speaking of which, it's in vain if Ting'er doesn't say anything." You talk, I'll go find her and come back. β
To the west of Chixue City, the barren grass in the Red Snow Field has grown to more than one person's height.
Ever since he decided to hide, especially after meeting Moon Armor that day, the Pain Dragon had not dared to come here again. But for some reason, when he heard that Yue Kai had gone to Crouching Tiger Xuan early in the morning with a gift, the Pain Dragon involuntarily left the city and plunged headlong into the deep barren grass.
Although the red snow fields are full of swamps and lakes, it is difficult to get out of them if you are not careful. However, birds and beasts gather, medicinal herbs are everywhere, and it is an excellent place for wood picking. As time went by, there were people trampling out of the sheep intestine paths in this wild grass. The dragon of pain did not follow the path, but drilled into the grass. I don't know how long I walked, but the sound of gurgling water sounded in my ears. His eyes lit up and he quickened his pace.
Pushing aside a bush of wild grass, there is a clear stream in front of you. The wild grass of this red snow field is very strange, no matter how poor the soil is, even on the rocks, it can take root and grow to half a man's height. Only on both sides of the stream, around the lake and marsh, there are only sparsely distributed some small grasses that will not cover the foot, or even no grass.
Stepping out of the barren grass more than a man tall, the Pain Dragon's footsteps suddenly trembled slightly. Everything here is the same as before. It's just that the traces of the campfire are long gone. The traces in people's hearts, I'm afraid they will be like this after a long time!
Gently taking off his mask, he came to the side of the stream, and looked at the old road at that time, and the pain dragon was shocked. Not far from the water's edge, a woman wearing a white fox fur coat at all times is slowly brushing her hair down into the water. Seeing someone coming, the woman raised her head, was stunned, and then beckoned: "Come and help me comb my hair!"
As if under a spell, the Pain Dragon walked over and took the comb and brushed her wet hair. "I knew you were coming," the woman leaned lightly on his shoulder, "Aaron, shall we go out for a walk together?" "Ting'erβ" The Pain Dragon's hand paused.
"Don't speak," Luo Huting covered his mouth and closed his eyes slightly, "Do you know, that day in the carriage with my sister-in-law's dowry, I wished you were with me." Hehe," she chuckled softly, "I know you must be watching me from not far away, right? You're just too timid to say anything." I'm also stupid, and I don't know what is good about you, so I don't think about ...... for your tea and dinner."
The Pain Dragon didn't dare to answer, just gently brushed her hair over and over again. After Luo Huting finished speaking, seeing that he really didn't say a word, she couldn't help but push him into the stream with some annoyance, and scolded: "What a fool!" walked to the side and coiled his hair up.
The Pain Dragon stood up a little embarrassed, only to realize that her hair had grown so long. The originally slightly resolute face was set off by the long hair, and there was a trace of charm and softness. Feeling the burning gaze of the painful dragon, Luo Huting's face was slightly red and she lowered her head.
The Pain Dragon suddenly felt a little impulsive, and wanted to rush over and hug her and tell her what had happened that night in the inner city. But just as he took a step, the grass suddenly sounded, and a person came out: "Ting'er, you are really here! Huh, Aaron, you are also there! You two, should you ...... Let's have a tryst here!"
"Big brother," Luo Huting heard this, her face was even redder, "Is there anything to do with me?" "This ......" Mr. Tiejing is not stupid, and naturally senses the ambiguous atmosphere between the two at this moment. But after thinking about it, he still said about Yuekai's proposal.
He...... The pain dragon was stunned for a moment, and his commotion slowly cooled down. Luo Huting stared eagerly at the Pain Dragon, wanting to hear what he had to say. But the Pain Dragon just lowered his head and didn't say a word. Finally, the eagerness in Luo Huting's eyes turned into anger and then coldness, and finally turned into indifference. She gently plucked the crystal hairpin from her head, held it in her hand, and squeezed it into pieces!
"Noβ" The Pain Dragon jerked its head up, only to see the shards falling. "Big brother, let's go back!" With a faint sound, Luo Huting turned around and left. "Ting'er-" Seeing that things had turned out like this, Mr. Tiejing regretted that he wanted to slap himself a few big mouths. When he turned around, he saw the pain dragon staring at the fragments of that place in a daze, and couldn't help but be angry, and stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar: "You-"
The Pain Dragon looked blank and did not react at all. "I'll clean you up later!" Mr. Iron Mirror threw him to the ground and turned away. All that left was the Pain Dragon trying in vain to piece together the pieces of the land, but he couldn't put them together.
Also on the wasteland, the two red-clothed men carried light skills, galloped and flew over the barren grass, chasing a group of fragrant deer in front of them like two red clouds. Occasionally, with the movement of the sword, a fragrant deer will fall. But the two of them did not pay attention to the prey that was worth a lot of money, whether it was skin, horns, sinews or flesh, but only chased and hunted. It's cheaper, and a group of people behind them are watching the excitement.
The fragrant deer flock panicked, quickly stepping through a puddle of water, startling countless perched birds. The two men in red ignored the flock of birds and were about to chase after them again. Suddenly, there was a scolding in the grass: "Who doesn't have fucking long eyes, and startled Lao Tzu's golden silk bird!"
The size of a newly hatched chick is the size of a golden bird, and its plumage is pure white, which shines like a golden silk in the sun, which is very valuable. In addition, this bird usually has a flock of two or three, and the distribution is extremely scattered, and it is difficult to catch. And today, there are more than a dozen golden silk birds gathered in this puddle.
The people in the grass were overjoyed, and they were planning to make a big profit. But for no reason, he was startled by a group of fragrant deer, and he was naturally annoyed. I saw the two red-clothed men behind the fragrant deer herd chasing closely, and they scolded, and the arrows were like flying locusts.
If it was just an ordinary random arrow, the two men in red were not afraid. In the past few days, I have stayed with the people of Lingyu Villa, and I have learned to dodge arrows without learning archery. But it is more appropriate to say that the shot from the grass is an arrow than a needle, urgent and dense, leaving no gap.
The two didn't dare to hold it up, and the two knives came out together, dancing impenetrable. The needle arrow was knocked off by the knife, but it did not fall, but flew in all directions at a different angle. The group of bargain pickers not far behind the two red-clothed men were caught off guard, and several of them were killed by arrows, and their bodies quickly turned black.
"It's a bow!" someone shouted, turned around and ran. This vast red snow field was originally a place where the bow clan lived. Although most of them were forced to move to the west side of the Red Snow Plains after a few battles with Chixue City, there are still many who continue to operate in this endless barren grass. And ordinary warriors who provoke the bow clan here are invited by the king of Hades, and they will definitely die.
The rain of arrows stopped for a moment, and the two red-clothed men glanced at each other, and their two knives slashed left and right. The sword was angry, the wild grass was broken, and the sneak attacker finally revealed his true face. But I saw that the appearance of the Bow Clan was no different from that of a human, but there were vertical and horizontal cracks on their backs like tortoise shells. There is only one leg under the waist, just like a cow.
Seeing that the grass where he was hiding was cut down, a leader-like Bow Clansman let out a strange scream, bent one leg and flicked, and flew in front of the two in the blink of an eye. The cold light in his hands sparkled, stabbing them in the necks. The rest of the Bow Clansmen also jumped up, attacking the two red-clothed men who had bothered them to capture the golden bird and cut off their fortune.
