Volume 1 Death and Life Section 11 Together through thick and thin
Qiandong connected with several days of heavy rain, the sky is cloudy and wet, the air is clear and fresh, but the ground is muddy but not difficult to walk. Cherry Bay is a place where merchants and travelers gather, and the boats on the river are weaving, and the excitement is unabated. Many people were loading and unloading goods in the rain, and suddenly the rain turned heavier, like a basin pouring down, and for a while everyone scattered to take shelter, or burrowed into the cabin, or sent people to the eaves. The best place to hide from the rain is the Sihai Tower, which is not far from the river.
Sihailou has the meaning of accepting guests from all over the world, the restaurant is elegant, mellow wine, river view food, and the price is fair, and the service is first-class. Merchants have a lot of money, and travelers have a lot of leisure, and they flock to the building.
Today's Sihailou is different, and it actually refuses to accept guests on a rainy day here.
"Since you are open to customers, why don't you accept us and others, isn't our money money?" There were many cars and horses parked outside the restaurant, and some people in the crowd who were blocked out of the door questioned loudly.
The shopkeeper of Sihailou is an ordinary businessman, with a fat brain and a round belly, and his demeanor is bloated, he took his men to block the visitors at the door, but he made a confession: "The guest officer Haihan, the store has been chartered by the distinguished guests, the distinguished guests do not like to make noise, and the villain is really helpless." β
"Who is so luxurious? On this rainy day, occupying the first floor alone is too unkind. The guests outside the door were surprised. They looked through the open door of the store, and saw more than a dozen guards with knives, sitting quietly and waiting with awe-inspiring expressions.
"It's great to be rich, I'm also rich, I'll pay double the price of my wallet to go to the restaurant." A high roller said angrily. The rain is heavy, and it is indeed necessary to find a place to take shelter.
The shopkeeper of Sihailou said with a wry smile: "The guest officer is angry, if it is money and silver, it is easy to handle, but the guest upstairs is actually the son of the Yan Zhifu family, who has just returned from learning swords in Shushan and has been in the store for two days." β
When everyone heard that they were not only rich, but also black and white, they didn't dare to say anything, and left in the rain. The shopkeeper just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that the fragrant breeze swept by, refreshing people's hearts. A tall woman with long hair and a green shirt has entered the store, her appearance is extremely beautiful, but her expression is as cold as frost, she is Duanmuyu.
"Bold! How can you woman slam so lightly and retreat so quickly? Those guards also saw that Duanmuyu's martial arts were extraordinary, and they surrounded them.
Duanmuyu stood proudly and said coldly: "The world is so big, there is no place where this girl can't go." β
"If we don't leave, don't blame our men for being ruthless." The guards drew their swords and unsheathed them. The gestures are the same, the steps are the same, and it is clearly highly trained.
Duanmuyu didn't use a blade, his hands were in a bun, and the seven-star cone was inserted into his hair, and he said lightly: "Come on." β
The cold light flickered, the sound of sharp weapons breaking the wind sounded, and more than a dozen big knives attacked Duanmu fish from all directions. Duanmu fish Luo shirt fluttering, like a swimming fish, graceful posture, fighting with them. Her ice and fire skills have been perfected, and she has gone further, but she has not used her internal strength, and she has made the guards overwhelmed with her elegant light skills and wonderful palm skills.
The rain outside the house fell rapidly, the swords and swords in the house, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that his fat face broke out in a cold sweat, but a cute little girl leaned out of the inner courtyard, she looked at the fighting Duanmuyu and the guards excitedly, her eyes were full of envy and yearning.
At this time, a young man named Hanako suddenly stepped into the door and sat on the threshold to watch the excitement. The shopkeeper gestured to the little girl and told her to go back to the inner courtyard. The little girl ignored him, and the shopkeeper was so angry that he stomped his feet, and when he saw that the little flower had no intention of leaving, he was even more annoyed, and shouted to him: "Hey, don't do business today, there is no leftovers, you go elsewhere." β
Xiao Zhaohua said with a smile: "You don't have any guests anyway on this rainy day, so send kindness and let Xiao Xiaohua hide from the rain." β
How did the shopkeeper agree, pushed him with his foot and said, "Go somewhere else." Don't stain my faΓ§ade! β
"Daddy! On this rainy day, don't chase him. His body is so thin, don't get sick in the rain. The little girl saw that the shopkeeper drove away Xiao Zhaohua, but she came out and persuaded her.
"Xiaoyu, why did you come out, the sword has no eyes, what can I do if I get hurt in a while." The shopkeeper said urgently.
The little girl Xiaoyu didn't look scared when she saw the sword, and said, "Don't drive him, I'll go back." β
"Don't. This fight is much more fun than watching a show! You look here, I'll look outside. Xiao Xiaohua said, got up and walked to the door, and retreated to the opposite eaves. It's just that the rain is very strong, and it's no different from standing in the rain.
Xiaoyu saw that this little flower was interesting, and couldn't help but look at him carefully. Seeing that he was thin, ragged, and unkempt, but the contour lines were very good-looking, and after the rain diluted the stains on his face, a long scar was revealed, and the wound had just healed, which was a little scary.
Duanmuyu was unintentionally entangled, and said coquettishly: "Stand down." The figure slashed, and there was a cry of pain, and the guards fell to the ground with their swords, holding their wrists that were purple from the cold, and looked at each other. Duanmuyu sat down next to him as if no one was around, and shouted: "The food comes up quickly, if there is any neglect, burn your shop!" β
Of course, the shopkeeper would not talk to herself, and when she saw that the guards had not replied after going upstairs, she hurriedly ordered Xiao Er to wait. I went to urge my daughter back to the backyard.
Xiaoyu saw that the excitement had dispersed, and was about to call the little flower in, but he still saw his shadow. She retreated to the backyard in a huff. For the spaciousness of the store, the backyard is not large, three or two potted plants, a well, one by one, at a glance. Xiaoyu held an umbrella and walked quickly through the rain, still splashing her dress, and suddenly, there was a strange sound behind her, and someone seemed to knock on the door.
The light rain is strange, who will come in and out from behind. "Who is it?" she asked. β
"It's me, little flower, hungry and uncomfortable, begging for something to eat." It's the little flower at the door just now.
Although Xiaoyu was young, he was quite courageous, and he was not afraid of him, so he went over with an umbrella to open the door. When the firewood was opened, I saw the little flower standing in the unsheltered alley, trembling from the rain - of course, this trembling was the artistic processing of Xiaoyu girl, Xiaoyu was full of unbearable heart, and pulled him and said, "Come in quickly, don't get wet." β
Who else is there besides Xiao Xiao, Xiaoyu led him to the kitchen, saw that the stove was still burning, and said, "You bake the fire quickly, I'll go and give you some clean clothes." As he spoke, he took a few hot white-flour steamed buns and handed them to him, then turned around and left.
When Xiao Yu returned with a set of coarse leather clothes from her subordinates, she found that the plate containing the steamed buns had been wiped out, and Xiao Xiao looked at her with a look of intent.
"You're not big, but you have a big appetite." Xiaoyu smiled and handed him the clothes and said, "You go to the back and change your clothes first, and I'll find you something to eat." β
Xiao Xiao took the clothes, looked at the childish little girl in a daze, and said, "Little sister, you are so good." β
Xiaoyu pushed him and said, "Go change your clothes, be careful of catching a cold." β
Xiao Xiao's original clothes were in tatters, and they were just tied to his body. So far, he has not had a new coat, or steal or begg, so that he can get a piece of clothing to cover his shame and protect against the cold. And this, no one will care at all, Yi Xiaoxiao never thought of it, Tong Ling never thought of it, and Duanmuyu never thought that the little rain girl who met in Pingshui was the first person to make Xiao Xiao feel a little warm.
Xiaoyu waited for him to change his clothes, found him a few more baked cakes, and then tilted his head curiously to stare at the very beautiful little flower gobbling up food, she said: "You little flower is so stupid, on this rainy day, others can find a place to hide, but you are drenched in the rain everywhere." β
Xiao Xiao laughed stupidly while eating in response to his stupid assertion, Xiaoyu saw that the scar on his face was scary, so he reached out and stroked it, and said, "Who hit you?" If someone beats you, you'll run. β
Xiao Xiao was tickled by her soft little hands, and smiled even more happily.
Just when Xiao Xiao was enjoying the tranquility under the heavy rain, the rivers and lakes were destined to be uneven. Dozens of black-clad men descended from the sky, filling the courtyard, eaves, and roofs. They were dressed in black dragon pattern suits, holding cold blades in their hands, all expressionless, and their eyes were empty but faintly crazy. There weren't many things that could interrupt Xiao Xiao's eating, and at this time he was so shocked that he almost choked to death.
This group of black-clothed people must be from the Black Dragon Society, and unlike in the past, Xiao Xiao could not feel the slightest breath of a living person in these people.
"Hey! Who are you and how did you break into my house! Before Xiao Xiao could react, Miss Xiaoyu asked sharply.
The black-clothed men seemed to ignore it, and slowly gathered around the dining room in front of them. The movements are not fast, and the steps are like that, with a suffocating momentum.
Xiaoyu also felt the strangeness of those people, but she was not afraid at all, and chased after them in the rain. Xiao Xiao said secretly, pity my new clothes. stepped forward and grabbed Xiaoyu Girl's hand, and the seven stars took a step and swept through the black-clothed crowd as quickly as lightning.
Miss Xiaoyu's eyes flickered, and when she saw that she had arrived in the house, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao magically and said, "Why are you running so fast?" β
Xiao Xiao said with a smile: "I have been chased and beaten a lot, so I naturally run fast." β
Xiaoyu was surprised and doubtful. And the sound of a rush fight sounded over there, and Duanmu Fish turned into a white afterimage, drowning in the black-clothed crowd. The air temperature dropped rapidly, and the restaurant was like falling into an ice cave. There are constantly people in black who are knocked away by Duanmuyu's broken hands and legs, and people continue to rush up one after another, and the tireless and fearless appearance of death makes Xiao Xiao guess who these people are.
Born for killing, the Black Dragon will die. If you have murderous thoughts, you will never die.
"Dad, are you alright?" Xiaoyu also fearlessly passed through the crowd of flashing knives, and helped up the fat shopkeeper who was sitting on the ground.
The fat shopkeeper's originally ruddy complexion had turned iron-blue, his hands and feet were weak, and his lips trembled. But there were no scars on his body, and he seemed to be overly frightened. Xiaoyu pulled him to go out, but in case the number of dead soldiers was too large, he stepped on the foot of one of them. When the dead man came back, Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." β
The dead man looked blank, and when he saw that the three of them were stunned and blocked his way, the long knife in his hand slashed at the girl Xiaoyu without hesitation.
Xiaoyu screamed, closed her eyes and waited for the pain of the knife on her body. After waiting for a long time, except for a little sore neck, there was no abnormality in the rest of the parts, and I couldn't help but open my eyes curiously. I saw that the big knife that emitted a seeping blue light stopped above his head, and the little flower grabbed the back of the knife with one hand, no matter how hard the dead man tried, he didn't move at all.
Xiaoyu's little hand covered her wide open mouth, and the little screaming flower's face was full of perseverance and solemnity, and there was still the slightest weakness and deception. The long knife slowly turned red, as if it had been burned by a fierce fire, and the black-clothed man's hand held the knife emitted scorched smoke, which also carried the smell of barbecued food. But the man in black didn't seem to know the pain, and still didn't let go.
"Let's go!" Xiao Xiao saw that there were other dead soldiers who noticed the abnormality here, so they surrounded and hurriedly urged Xiaoyudao.
Xiaoyu and the shopkeeper woke up when they heard the sound and quickly withdrew from the crowd.
Together, Duanmuyu and Xiao Xiaobian converged. Duanmuyu snorted coldly and said, "I don't need your help!" β
"Then you kill me." Xiao Xiao said lightly.
Duanmuyu heard his intriguing words, his heart was mixed, and under the increasingly compact attack of the Black Dragon Society, he was busy gathering his mind, and he worked side by side with Xiao Xiao, and the ice and fire exercises worked. Flames and ice intertwine to create an impenetrable line of defense.
Xiao Yu, who was hiding outside the door and fighting, saw the charm of these two people, the beautiful peach blossom of the woman, and the handsome plump god of the man, and couldn't help but sway, unable to help himself. secretly swore that he would also be a high-roller who played swords in the future.
The Black Dragon Society will die more and more bravely, and Xiao Xiao is more frightened, and he said in his heart, if he doesn't get out of the battle circle as soon as possible, he will have to be exhausted to death. While defending against the enemy, he said to Duanmuyu: "We must evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise we will die of exhaustion." β
Duanmuyu snorted coldly: "Don't I know, I have to go away." β
Xiao Xiao suddenly whispered: "Isn't there a Shushan faction on the second floor, these dead soldiers are already lost, let's lead them to attack him!" As he spoke, he exchanged fists and palms, violently repelled the black-clothed dead man, and shouted, "Come! I'll help you up. β
Duanmuyu rose from the ground, and the black-clothed dead man was also on guard, and jumped up to intercept it, Duanmuyu handed over a few hands, and then fell down with all his strength, Xiao Xiao rose with everyone's fall, and his palms were supported on Duanmuyu's buttocks, Duanmuyu changed color, but he was also able to take advantage of his strength to rise again and jump up to the second floor.
"Hooligans!" Duanmuyu scolded, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but be frightened, he was out of the battle circle, and Xiao Xiao was in a critical condition, and he was stabbed twice in succession, and his shoulder was soaked with blood. Before Duanmuyu could be moved, Xiao Xiao had already shamelessly pointed to his side, and shouted at the black-clothed dead man: "Duanmuyu is on it, if you don't chase it, she will run away!" β
Those dead soldiers were obviously stunned, and they really abandoned Xiao Xiao and rushed upstairs. Duanmuyu secretly cursed shamelessly, turned around and rushed towards the guards who were watching the excitement. The guards were surrounded by the Great Disciple of Shushan, Yan Dong. In the harsh winter, he saw the Duanmu fish rushing towards him, and he didn't know what to do. Hurriedly press and hold on to his subordinates, so as not to provoke right and wrong.
Duanmuyu ignored him and went directly behind him. Seeing the black-clothed dead soldier rushing in his face, Yan Dong suddenly realized, helplessly faced the enemy, and shouted: "Don't do it, I am from the Shushan faction, and I will not participate in the grievances of your faction." As he spoke, he flew up and kicked a dead man downstairs.
Duanmuyu arched his hand and said, "Offended." He turned and jumped out of the window.
Xiao Xiao was already waiting outside, and when he saw her come out, he pulled her and ran wildly in the rain.
The two of them ran through the crooked streets and alleys with all their might, and Duanmuyu suddenly shook off Xiao Xiao's hand and said, "Let's find a place to hide for a while." As he spoke, he turned over and jumped into the courtyard of a house.
Xiao Xiao reluctantly jumped in with her, grabbed her and said, "You wait a minute." β
There was no one in the courtyard on a rainy day, and their steps were light, so no one noticed, Duanmuyu said angrily: "They didn't catch up, we don't need to run away." β
Xiao Xiao said: "Have you thought about it, you are dressed in men's clothes, and the people of the Black Dragon Society can recognize you, and you have been chasing and killing all the way to this day, what is the reason?" β
Duanmuyu stopped and said, "Yes, how did they recognize me?" β
"I don't know what kind of spice the girl uses, the dark fragrance floats, it's unforgettable." Xiao Xiao touched his nose and smiled.
"I never use spices." Duanmu Fish Road.
"Born with a body fragrance?" Xiao Xiao said strangely,
"Shameless!" Duanmuyu said angrily.
"I guess the people of the Black Dragon Society are here in search of smells, and there may be livestock such as hunting dogs and eagles that are specially used to track them." Xiao Xiao hurriedly explained.
Duanmuyu frowned and asked, "What should I do then?" β
