Chapter 54: Elopement (II)

Early in the morning, when Hachi was still asleep, he faintly heard someone knocking on the door. Hachi, who was sleepy-eyed, walked over and opened the door. I saw Hu Xiaoxi holding his chest and standing outside the door with his feet stomped.

"You haven't gotten up yet, don't you look at what time it's over!" Seeing Xiaoba's appearance, Xiaoxi said angrily.

"Uh..." Hachi glanced at the freshly lit sky outside and snorted, "Isn't it early?"

"It's still early? Do you have any professionalism? We're eloping, not playing. ”

"Then you wait for me to clean up. As he spoke, he cleaned up on his own, regardless of Xiaoxi complaining behind him about why he didn't clean up the day before.

Hachi's luggage didn't have much, and it didn't take long for it to be all packed.

The two of them came directly to the wall in the south of Hu Mansion, the courtyard wall more than three meters high, for the two of them who knew martial arts, it was nothing, Xiaoba and Xiaoxi just rose and fell and turned out.

Just as they climbed over the wall, Red Rose slowly walked out from behind a tree, holding a silver ticket of one thousand taels in her hand. looked at the silver ticket in his hand and sighed lightly: "I'm getting softer and softer..."

......

Outside the Nanya Forest

Hachi squatted on the side of the road. Looking at Xiao Xi, who was buying all kinds of supplies not far away, he was depressed in his heart. When she was in Hufu, it was clear that she had been urging herself, but when she really came out, Xiaoba found that she kept saying that she wanted to be professional, and warned herself that this was Xiaoxi who eloped, but it was like a spring outing.

After being delayed for nearly an hour, he was comforted by Xiaoba's bitter words. Xiao Xi was dragged into the Nanya Forest by Xiao Hachi. This time, the plan of the two of them was to go around the inner circle of the Nanya Forest to the other side of Ailan City, and then turn the road and go straight to Feiyang City in the south. Hachi asked why he was walking like this, it was difficult to walk, and it didn't save time. Xiaoxi explained that although the road to Alan City would be more difficult and not fast. But this can be an effective way to evade the pursuit of family members if they find out that they are missing. But after really entering the Nanya Forest, Xiao Hachi realized that what evaded the pursuit was clearly to play, watching Xiao Xi chase some animals in the forest from time to time and pick some gorgeous flowers, Xiao Hachi just wanted to look up to the sky and shout at this time, is this still an escape?

Two hours later, under Xiaoxi's repeated complaints, the two chose to rest in a relatively empty place.

"Hey, talk to me. Xiaoxi pushed Hachi, who was sitting next to him.

Hachi glanced at Xiaoxi. "What do you say, if you have the strength to speak, you might as well stay and hurry. "He really doesn't want to talk now, not because he's tired, but because he's angry. Originally, with the footsteps of two people, it was very easy to walk thirty or forty miles in two hours. But under Xiaoxi's delay, he had just walked twenty miles. Along the way, Xiaoxi has added a lot of loot to him. With a wreath on his chest, a straw hat on his head, an animal tooth bracelet, and even the food he carried, he changed from the most basic dry food to a large meal of melons, fruits and vegetables that can be eaten by a dozen people on a table. Of course, these were secretly reduced when Hachi took advantage of Xiaoxi's inattention. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even want to go to these twenty miles.

"You're really boring, this is the first time Miss Ben has eloped so big, and she has no mood at all. The corners of Xiao Hachi's mouth twitched, "Mood, this is elopement, Miss!" But Xiao Hachi didn't say it, after all, he didn't want to have a big quarrel at this time, which would not only delay the journey, but also ruin his plan.

After a while, Hachi asked, "Then what are we going to say?"

Listening to Xiao Bayi, Xiao Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, he leaned his face over, and said with some excitement: "Whatever~ As long as you don't stay here in a daze!"

Hachi thought for a moment: "Okay, tell me about your family's situation." Why would you want to marry that guy surnamed Xiao?"

Xiaoxi's excitement was suddenly swept away: "You really can't open any pot." ”

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. It's you who say you're bored and want to chat. After saying that, Hachi began to close his eyes and recuperate, ignoring Xiaoxi. Looking at Xiaoba's appearance, Xiaoxi had to say helplessly: "Okay, good." I said it can't be done, and you can tell me about you later. ”

Xiaoba opened his eyes and smiled at Xiaoxi, "No problem." ”

"Hmph, you guy. Okay, then I'll tell you. ”

"Speaking of that Xiao Tian, we have to start with their Xiao family. I heard that the Xiao family came to Nanya City sixty years ago. At that time, Nanya City was dominated by our Hu family. And the Xiao family suddenly settled in strongly, as we who originally occupied Nanya City, we must not let outsiders share Nanya City with us. So at that time, the elders of our Hu family fought with them. In the end, the two sides were tied. However, although it is tied, our Hu family has a history of hundreds of years in Nanya City. We all know how many rats there are in Nanya City. So although we are evenly matched in force, in all other areas, they are always eroded by us. It wasn't until a few years later that their family couldn't stand the erosion of our family, so they wanted to fight with us. My great-grandfather, who was the head of our family at that time, was afraid that even if we won in the end, it would be a great loss of vitality, and if other families came to Nanya City to make trouble, it would inevitably affect our rule. So in the end, I signed an agreement with them, which is two young people from each generation. will be conducted once in adulthood, from management, networking, to martial arts in all aspects of the competition. The winning person's family will receive 70% of the profits of Nanya City in ten years. The first time, my dad competed on behalf of his family, and he won easily. Speaking of this, Xiao Xi showed a look of pride.

"By the way, I didn't seem to see him at your house this time. Hachi looked at Xiaoxi curiously.

"He..." Xiao Xi's smug expression was immediately swept away, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "It's okay to sue you, anyway, sooner or later." When I was a child, my father once went to Feiyang City to discuss business, and the monster who ate people there was killed..."

Xiao Bayi was stunned, "A man-eating monster?"

Xiaoxi nodded, "Well, it's said to be a monster that sucks human blood." I don't believe in such monsters at all, so... This time, I wanted to take this opportunity to investigate, and although I had asked to go before, the adults in my family always wouldn't let me go. Especially the third uncle, he must know something, he went with my father at the beginning, but he came back. I've always felt..."A fierce light flashed in Xiaoxi's eyes.

"Could it be him?" Hachi asked tentatively.

Xiaoxi nodded, and then looked at him with some embarrassment, "You don't think I'm taking advantage of you, do you?" Actually, no, I really don't want to marry him, but I just took advantage of this opportunity to go to one of my wishes. ”

Seeing that Xiaoxi was a little nervous to explain to himself, Xiaoba nodded slightly and asked, "By the way, what does it matter if you marry Xiao Tian?"

"Hey... It has nothing to do with my father, but it has something to do with my brother, and this time the competition of the younger generation is about to start. My brother is the only boy in my family, but he disappeared more than half a year ago..."At this time, Xiaoxi suddenly took Xiaoba's hand and said: "Is it okay to sue me for what happened? I went to look for your village, but your village seems to be like there is no zĂ i, and all the villages around you that I have been to are gone! What happened, can you sue me?"

"Both... It's all gone?" Hachi looked at Xiaoxi with wide eyes, his eyes full of horror. Then he grabbed Xiaoxi's shoulder with his backhand and shouted, "It's all gone? How is it possible! There are still eight villages around!"

"Ah, you don't know? I thought you'd know. The day after my brother disappeared, we went to look for it, but we couldn't find anything... And you're the only person I've ever seen there. ”

"No... No way. Hachi's body trembled violently, and his face was full of fear. Suddenly, he pulled out the snow dance sword and put it on Xiao Xi's neck and asked coldly, "Who did you tell me about being from that village?" ”

The killing intent exuded by Xiao Hachi, Xiao Xi instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. She knew that Hachi was really murderous. The trembling voice replied, "No... Without. ”

The sword moved closer to Xiao Xi's neck, and Xiao Xi could already clearly feel the chill brought by the snow dance sword. "Give me a reason why you don't say it. ”

"You saved me and the dumb mother-in-law. I'm going to pay you back, and if I had sued the others, they would have arrested you and interrogated you. I just want to know what's going on, but I don't want you to be in danger..."

"Why. Hachi asked coldly. The Snow Dance Sword had already slashed through Xiao Xiyu's neck. Due to the freezing effect attached to the Snow Dance Sword, no blood flowed out, but the cold air entered the body, and Xiaoxi's face was already unhealthy pale. But she didn't tremble anymore, slowly closed her eyes, and said softly, "I like you." ”

The Snow Dance Sword left Xiao Xi's neck, and the icy cold air disappeared with it.

"He didn't kill me... Does he understand what I want?" With this expectation, Xiaoxi couldn't wait to open his eyes... But at this time, in front of her, there was no gentle face of the young man she imagined. It's a back that has gone away...
