Chapter 59: Why Did I Meet You?
Chapter 59
The night is as cool as water. The water, whimpering, flowed into the sea, the moon in the sky was covered with a layer of white mist, and the surface of the river was gray.
In the middle of the gray river was a small boat, one in each of the eight directions around the boat. On both sides of the river, there were hundreds of warriors with five people, patrolling back and forth.
Han Nan lay on the roof of a house on the shore, looked at the moon in the sky and said, "Their defense is very tight, and we hardly have any chances. However, there will be times when people are relaxed, and in the early hours of the morning, when the sky will be dawn, that is, when a person is most tired. We're going to do it at that time, and I'm going to find a way to lure the samurai on patrol on the shore away, and you touch the water and scuttle their boat, and then we'll take advantage of the chaos......"
Han Nan was still talking, and the nameless lying beside him suddenly jumped to the ground. Nameless is as agile as a cheetah, and as agile as a bobcat.
In three or two steps, Nameless came behind a group of patrolling samurai. He seemed to conjure a few hands out of thin air, Han Nam didn't have time to blink his eyes, and the samurai didn't have time to make any sound, and his throat was crushed by Nameless.
The five fell to the ground silently, without alarming anyone. Nameless turned around and nodded at Han Nan. Han Nan was speechless, went from the roof to the ground, and tiptoed to Nameless's side.
"You go and save people, I'll scuttle the boat......"
The two slipped into the water and dived to the bottom of a boat. Nameless knocked on the plank at the bottom of the boat and looked at Han Nan.
Han Nam nodded, and Nameless slammed his fist into the bottom of the boat, sinking his fist into the plank at the bottom of the boat. He pulled his hand out of the boat, and the river poured through the hole.
The wooden boat draught sank, and the people on board were in a mess. Nameless pedaled to the next boat.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Han Nam swam to the boat in the center of the river. He put his hands on the boat and climbed onto the deck.
Han Nan's wet footsteps stepped on the deck, and in the cabin, Xinlan sat alone in front of the window, and turned her head when she heard the voice.
"It's me. Han Nam got into the cabin.
Xinlan was stunned, a trace of dazedness flashed in her eyes, and she said, "I remember your footsteps, I guessed it was you just now, but I couldn't believe it was you." ”
"I'm here to take you away. Han Nan wiped the drops of water from his face: "Now that it's a mess outside, let's take advantage of the chaos to get out of here, and we won't be caught by them." ”
Xinlan stood up and bowed to Han Nan.
Han Nan was a little in a hurry, hurriedly helped him up, and said, "No need to do this, no need to ...... like this"
Xinlan straightened up and said, "Thank you, I really didn't expect you to come." ”
Han Nan said: "Don't talk about this, if you hadn't hidden it for me, I would have been caught by them a long time ago." Now I'll take you away, and I'll repay you. ”
As he spoke, Han Nan stretched out his hand to Han Nan and looked nervously out of the boat: in less than a moment, Nameless had already scuttled eight boats, and now the river surface was like dumplings, puff and puff, and many people were undulating in the water.
Facing Han Nan's outstretched hand, Xinlan was indifferent and shook her head gently. Han Nan was stunned, and saw her say slowly: "I'm sorry, I caused you to take risks for me, but I can't go with you." ”
Han Nan didn't expect this scene, and said dumbfoundedly: "Why?"
Xinlan shook her head and stopped talking, she sat down by the window, the moonlight sprinkled on her, the moonlight in white, she was still as holy and quiet as before, only the tightly clenched hands leaked out of the throbbing in her heart.
Han Nan thought she was worried that she wouldn't be able to escape, and said, "You don't have to be afraid, now it's a mess outside, and no one knows about our escape." If you don't know how to water, I can carry you, although my water nature is not very good, but it is no problem to carry you to the shore. And I also have a helper, he is very good, no one can stop him. ”
"You're also amazing. Xinlan said: "But I still can't go with you." ”
"Why?"
Xinlan said: "I'm gone, what will happen to my master? What about the people around me? They have raised me since I was a child, and if I escape, everyone in the city will attack them." I can't trap them and they won't recover. ”
Han Nan said: "They raised you up, but they just wanted you to die." They don't deserve it. ”
There was a tremor in Xinlan's tone, and she said, "Han Nan, I'm very happy that you will come." I seldom rejoice...... Before I died, I was really happy to meet you. ”
Han Nan said: "Let's get out of here first and then talk about this." ”
Xinlan shook her head and said, "But you don't understand. The city of water worships the god of water once every eighteen years, and after the previous saintess was sacrificed to the god of water, I was born and became the saint of the city of water.
From the moment I was born, I was destined that my life would not belong to me. I am a living tribute. Live for it, die for it! ”
Syllable!
Han Nan suddenly slapped her in the face and roared: "Stupid woman, what stupid things you said, your life will always belong to you, and there is no one in this world who is worthy of you to live or die for it, except yourself!"
Xinlan was stunned, and the whole person was instantly stunned. Tears flowed from her eyes, and two tear streaks washed out of her face.
Han Nan's heart softened, but the situation was critical, so he could only pretend to be a wicked person to the end: "That's right...... Come with me......"
"I'll go with you. Xinlan nodded.
Seeing that Xinlan no longer insisted, Han Nan dragged her hand to the deck, the fire flashed on the water, someone on the shore held a torch, and someone in the water swam towards the boat.
"Protect the Holy Maiden from being taken captive by the wicked......"
Han Nan held Xinlan's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you out of here." ”
"Hmm. Xinlan nodded, suddenly shook off Han Nan's hand, and pushed Han Nan into the river with both hands.
Poof!
Han Nan took a saliva, floated up from the water, and looked at Xinlan in shock.
Xin Lan stood on the deck and said, "You also said that Lan is an ethereal thing, and my fate is an ethereal mountain cloud. Go by yourself!"
"Stupid ......" Han Nan spit out a word, and suddenly felt that someone in the water was dragging his leg. Han Nam pulled out the knife on his body and stabbed him in the body. A circle of blood poured out in the water.
"You're a fucking stupid woman!" Han Nam scolded.
"Nan, you can't do anything, let's go!" Nameless grabbed Han Nan's collar and dragged him towards the shore.
Han Nan floated in the water, and saw Xinlan standing alone on the deck, her white clothes fluttering.
"The saint is fine, the saint is still there!" a samurai cheered.
Xinlan stood silently on the deck, letting the cool breeze blow the white clothes on her body. She seemed to be as quiet as ever, but her heart was surging like this surging river. Han Nan's voice echoed in his ears for a long time.
"Stupid woman, there is nothing in this world worthy of your life and death, except for yourself!"
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you out of here. ”
......
Raising her head, the wind blew her hair up, and standing there, Xinlan sighed speechlessly: "Han Nan, why did you let me meet you!"
