Chapter 13: Fierce Fight on a Moonlit Night
It's a nice night today, and I suddenly want to go out for a walk after dinner.
I have a faint feeling in my heart that Sanniang may appear nearby these days.
I haven't seen her for so long, and I really miss her.
In the north of April, the night is not as high as the spring insects in the south of the Yangtze River, but with a different kind of tranquility in the warmth.
Du Wenlin strolled along a country road on the outskirts of the city in the east, admiring the hazy moonlight of the countryside in the distance and savoring the elegance of the grass in the fields.
Although it was a full moon again, the thirst for blood was long gone.
Everything in the body is back to normal.
In front is a small hillside, and to the east of the slope is a small basin.
As soon as Du Wenlin climbed the hill, he felt that something was wrong below.
In the moonlight, he noticed that there were several shadowy figures in the middle of the basin below, and although they were far away, his eyes could now see almost in the dark, and there was moonlight tonight.
At this time, it has come to the second watch, and in such a remote place, who can come here to play if there is nothing to do?
Under the cover of the bushes, Du Wenlin quietly approached the valley floor along the hillside.
In the small basin at the bottom of the valley, there were four people fighting to the death.
In the middle, a woman in white with long flowing hair was surrounded by three men in black, all three of whom held a thin short knife less than two feet long, and walked around the woman with extremely fast body movements, and constantly searched for gaps to attack.
The woman in white covered her face with long hair, and held a dagger with cold light in her right hand, and whenever the short knife stabbed in front of her, she shook her body and flashed it with a very fast body, and at the same time the dagger stabbed at the wrist holding the knife from a tricky angle, and the speed of the dagger attack was called lightning, only the cold light, but not the dagger.
And the three black-clothed besiegers were also concerned about the speed and sharpness of the dagger, and if they couldn't strike a blow, they immediately jumped away.
The woman in white seemed to have eyes all over her body, and when the knife behind her stabbed her, her face had not yet turned, but the dagger in her hand had accurately rushed towards the wrist of the knife wielder.
Both sides are separated at the slightest touch, and neither dares to get too close to the other.
The four of them were silent, only the sound of the wind on their clothes as they moved their bodies quickly.
Du Wenlin had already recognized that the woman in white in the middle was Sanniang, and he wanted to go up to help, but first, he had no weapons, and second, he looked at their speed and skill, and he blindly joined in, which would not help her.
Just as Du Wenlin hesitated, one of the black-clothed men suddenly let out a sharp howl, like a wolf howling.
Before the whistle fell, the three men in black accelerated their attack, and their wandering figures became faster.
The sound of blade clashing continued to be heard on the field, Sanniang's situation was much more dangerous than just now, some of them lost sight of the other, just refused to let go of the short knife in front of him, and a short knife behind him stabbed again, too late to block it, hurriedly shook his body to dodge, and the short knife passed through the armpit, and the white clothes instantly cracked a hole.
Du Wenlin couldn't stay any longer, whether he could join in or not, whether his life would be in danger, these were no longer important, what mattered was his affection for Sanniang.
Forcefully broke a small tree beside him, quickly removed the branches and leaves, and ran to the battlefield with a six-foot-long heavy trunk.
The four people in the field were fighting fiercely, and the three men in black seemed to have seen the dawn of victory, and the speed of the attack was getting faster and faster.
Sanniang struggled to support, and the long hair in front of her was already wet with sweat.
No one noticed, and a tall boy ran behind him with a wooden stick in both hands.
Du Wenlin's momentum was extremely fast, and he arrived in an instant, and swept across the waist of a man in black with a stick in both hands.
The man in black had his back to Du Wenlin, and was walking around Sanniang at a very fast speed, never dreaming that he would turn into elbows and armpits.
There was a cracking sound of bones at the end of the stick, and with a terrible howl, the man in black staggered three steps and fell to the ground.
Du Wenlin was a little confused, he was just trying to interfere with the opponent's attack on Sanniang, but he didn't expect that his strength was so great that he broke the opponent's ribs in one fell swoop.
The other two men in black jumped out of the battle group upside down, stopped their attack, and looked at the uninvited guest in amazement.
The boy is not as weak as the crown, his face is angular, he is tall, he holds a stick in both hands, and his face is full of silver light under the moonlight, and he is majestic.
Just now, the three of them besieged Sanniang and one person, but now the three of them have injured one person, and the other party has added a majestic general, and the balance on the battlefield is instantly tilted.
The remaining two no longer had the courage to fight, one went over to help his companion, and the other took cover with a knife, and slowly retreated out of the valley.
Only now did Du Wenlin notice that the three black-clothed men looked almost identical, with a medium build, a face like white ash, and an eagle's nose and vertical eyes.
Sanniang didn't embarrass them anymore, watching their figures disappear into the night, before she looked back and smiled at Du Wenlin:
"I said that our mother and daughter have the same heart, and I knew that you would come tonight, so I came early to wait, but I didn't expect to meet these three scum."
As he spoke, he pulled the wet hair in front of him behind his ears, revealing a beautiful face, and a rosy face after the fierce battle.
Du Wenlin scratched his head embarrassedly:
"Actually, I've been here for a while. I started to see that you fought the three of them with ease, and I wanted to go up to help, but I was afraid that my skills would not be good, and if I couldn't help, it would affect you. Later, I saw that the three of them were fighting more and more fiercely, and I rushed up, but I didn't expect to hit the right one, and I knocked down one with a stick. ”
Until now, he still feels very lucky.
Sanniang smiled, pulled him to a big rock and sat down:
"Silly boy, you don't know how strong you are. When you rushed here just now, I saw that your speed has surpassed that of many martial arts masters, and your strength is not comparable to that of ordinary masters. Just like this wooden stick, it doesn't feel heavy in your hands, and it swings freely, but in the hands of ordinary people, they can't pick it up at all. ”
Du Wenlin didn't believe it, and went to pick up the wooden stick again, only to realize that it was really not thin, thicker than an adult's arm. I didn't expect to get such a stupid weapon in a hurry.
I picked up my hands and spun around a few times, but I really didn't feel heavy.
"You are born with good material for martial arts, which is often referred to as 'talented'. Since becoming the 'Future Star', you have been diligent in cultivating, so now your attack speed is much faster than that of many of our 'Night Suns'. Just those three brothers, if they fight alone, they will definitely not be your opponents. ”
Du Wenlin smiled, Sanniang's words actually sounded to him just the encouragement of the elders to the younger generations.
Although I feel that my body has undergone a lot of changes recently, it is not as powerful as Sanniang said.
"Sanniang, we haven't seen each other for a long time, have we always been good?"
"I've been in your neighborhood most of the time since I separated from you last year, and I once went back to my hometown during this time, and it didn't take me two days to get back again."
Du Wenlin's heart was moved, and his eyes were wet.
For more than a year, Sanniang has been silently accompanying herself, which is a kind of mother's care for her child, which cannot be expressed in words.
He looked into Sanniang's eyes and said softly:
"Mother, thank you!"
Sanniang didn't speak, reached out and gently put her hand around his shoulder, quietly looking at the silver-dyed hillside.
Du Wenlin snuggled up to Sanniang's side, his nose was full of refreshing fragrance, and through his clothes, he could also feel Sanniang's heartbeat and the warmth from his body.
Every time I snuggle in Sanniang's arms, I always feel drowsy, which is the feeling that children only have when they snuggle in their mother's arms.
But there are still a lot of things to say to Sanniang, and I can't fall asleep for the time being.
I sat up straight, the night breeze was blowing, and my mind was much clearer.
"Why did those three people fight with you just now?"
"These three are brothers, and like me, they belong to the 'Children of the Night'. They belong to the Ying family, and the branches of this family also spread all over the country. I wasn't familiar with them, they just told me that they belonged to the Ying family, but they didn't say where they lived. ”
"How can you have a grudge against them?"
"It's a long story. At the beginning of this year, by chance, I overheard the three of them talking. They said that they had been sent by the helmsman to enter the palace on the night of the second month to assassinate a concubine named 'Concubine Gong'. The reason why our race has lasted for thousands of years is that we worship obscurity and have no quarrel with the world. Unexpectedly, they were consumed by interests and participated in the conflicts of interests in the world. This would be a great danger to our race! ”
Hearing Sanniang say that the three of them were sent by the helmsman, Du Wenlin's heart moved and asked:
"They didn't say what kind of teaching they attended?"
"Not really." Sanniang then continued:
"On the night of the New February, when they came to the walls of the palace to enter the palace, they were stopped by me. I tried to persuade them to abandon the operation for the sake of our people's safety, but they were unmoved, and fearing that I would reveal their plans and wanted to kill me, so there was a bloody fight, and I stabbed one of them, and I was stabbed in the back. ”
The tone of Sanniang's narration was flat, and there were not too many emotional waves.
But Du Wenlin could imagine that in the dark night, under the root of the imperial city, in the cold wind howling, the cruel battle of the four people was faster than the cold wind, and blood was sprinkled all over the ground.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
"Then the guards who were on patrol were alarmed, and we retreated. Who knew that I happened to meet them here again tonight, and we met them. Speaking of this, Sanniang smiled bitterly:
"If you hadn't arrived in time for tonight, I probably wouldn't have lasted much longer, and I'd have lost my life at their hands."
Du Wenlin smiled:
"Didn't you say that we have a good heart? The mother is in danger, how can the son not come to the rescue? ”
Sanniang also laughed, reached out and touched Du Wenlin's head:
"That's it, with you, my mother won't be afraid of anything in the future."
"I may be seconded to the East Factory recently to help investigate the murder of Hu Jinsheng last year. The case not only involves the 'desert zerg', but also the 'Red Sect', do you know the organization of the 'Red Sect'? ”
"I seem to have heard of it, it is a sect that has only emerged in recent years, but because I am not interested in these charlatans, I have not bothered to inquire about it, and I know very little about it. I'll keep an eye out for it in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Sanniang gently patted Du Wenlin's back:
"In the future, although you do tolerance, you often have to walk in the rivers and lakes. The things in the rivers and lakes are weird and changeable, you are young and inexperienced, my mother is really worried about you! ”
Du Wenlin smiled:
"It's okay, don't worry! As the saying goes, when a bird is older, it should fly high, and when a child is older, it should travel far. I'm not too young anymore, and I've been able to navigate my life on my own. Besides, after all, I am doing things for the public family, and I have an extra layer of protection than ordinary Jianghu people. ”
"Well, that makes sense. With your current strength, you can already beat ordinary martial arts masters. In the future, as the cultivation deepens layer by layer, the skill will become higher and higher. It's just that you still lack some basic offensive and defensive move training, and this part is not very good at it. In the future, if you have the opportunity to meet a martial arts master who is willing to teach you, you must humbly ask others for advice, which will be of great benefit to you. ”
Du Wenlin suddenly sounded the head of Yan Qingmen, his fist and leg skills are very famous in the rivers and lakes, if you meet him again, you must ask him to teach some.
Thinking of Xiaolan again, the girl with tears in her eyes when she parted, I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart.
The moon has sunk in the west, and the night is deeper.
