The black clouds were low, the thunder rumbled, and drops of rain suddenly fell from the sky, piercing through the forest and hitting the leaves, and then fell on Zhongli's face, washing away the blood that had just been splashed on it.

In the surrounding woods, more than 20 corpses lay down, all with their waists cut off and their heads detached, as tattered as the purple clothes on their bodies. Three feet away, under the ginkgo tree, squatted a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with her arms on her lap, her unkempt black hair hanging down in front of her forehead, a pair of frightened eyes hidden underneath, and her trembling lips almost as white as her face.

Zhongli leaned down, "snorted" and tore several pieces of purple cloth from the corpse next to him, first wrapped the left shoulder that was slashed by the sword, then tied the right calf that was stabbed by the spear, then gritted his teeth and wrapped his lower abdomen where the skin and flesh turned out, and finally held the hilt of the sword on the back of the corpse and pulled it out hard.

It was a swarthy sword, with the same blood on its body, as bent as its master's body, and stained with the same blood as its master's shirt.

Dipping the last piece of cloth in the water accumulated in the pit, Zhongli wiped the blood from the sword with the cloth, then threw it away, carried the sword, limped, and walked to the girl.

The tip of the sword touched the girl's chin, Zhongli opened his mouth, and said hoarsely, "Stand up." ”

The girl leaned back, keeping the tip of her sword away from her, and then slowly stood up with the tree behind her.

Zhongli said again: "Follow me." Then he turned and limped down the hill.

The girl took a few deep breaths, shook her body and followed Zhongli.

The two of them walked one after the other, one foot deep and one foot shallow in the gradually muddy mountain. The mountain road was slippery, and sometimes the girl would slip and fall, rolling in mud, and Zhongli would turn to stare at her, without saying a word, and wait for the girl to get up from the ground herself, and then turn around and continue walking.

The showers stopped, the mountains and forests cleared, dragonflies swept by, and yellow birds chirped. At this time, the two of them came out of the forest and went down the mountain, and in front of them was a rocky beach, a river that was not too big or small.

Zhongli glanced back at the mountains and forests behind him, and then glanced at the girl covered in mud, with mixed feelings: they not only blocked his way, but also saved his life.

If it weren't for the rugged and steep mountain road, and the girl being too cumbersome, the purple guard would not be able to catch up with him. But if it weren't for the dense forests, it was not easy to draw bows and arrows and fire dark darts, and the girl made them throw rat traps, and she would not have had a chance to kill more than 20 purple-clothed guards, including a commander.

Zhongli opened his mouth again and asked the girl, "Aren't you afraid?"

The girl brushed back her hair from covering her eyes, stared at Zhongli, and shook her head.

Zhongli frowned: "Are you dumb? Shaking your head, are you afraid or not?"

The girl bit her lip, her body shook, her hands clenched into fists, and finally whispered a word from between her teeth: "Afraid." ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, why don't you cry. Zhongli said, "When I was in Yunzhou, I robbed a young lady named Yunxi, she yelled at people during the day, and looked at people with her nostrils instead of her eyes, but when I entered her room, she immediately screamed in fright, and tears rushed out of her eyes. ”

The girl whispered, "Then did you let her go?"

Zhongli was stunned for a moment and said, "No." "I thought to myself: Her family came too fast, I didn't catch her at all, how could I let her go.

The girl said, "Since you won't let me cry, why should I cry." ”

"Then you're not afraid of me, you're quite bold. Zhongli suddenly shook his head again, "No, you are bold, why don't you resist me?" There is a lady Huang who beats me very fiercely, and she wants to blow my head as soon as she strikes." ”

The girl asked, "Did she beat you?"

"Nope. She's a bit of a kung fu, but she's far worse than me. Zhongli said, "I also caught a little girl surnamed Wang, she scolded people fiercely, and she wanted to bite me to death." ”

The girl asked, "Did she run away from you?"

Zhongli said, "Of course not. "Xindao: She had all broken her hands and feet at that time, how could she escape? But two nosy and powerful guys came from behind, so I let her go.

The girl's voice was a little louder than before: "Since I can't beat you, it's useless to scold you, so why am I beating you, why are I scolding you." You hit me back, I hurt, you scolded me back, I feel uncomfortable. It's better to listen to you, and I'll do whatever you tell me to do. It's a little easier. ”

Zhongli thought for a moment, she was right, and said, "Very good, you are very smart. He said suspiciously: "Are you 'Dai Yue'?" Miss Guanjia, one door after another does not go out of the second door, Wenwen is weak, and it is rare for you to think about it like this. ”

"It's weird, you're not even sure who I am, what to do with me. ”

The girl couldn't help laughing, thinking that the camel in front of her was a little silly, but she immediately remembered that he had killed a lot of people, and had caught a lot of good girls before, and the smile that had just risen disappeared from her face.

"I'm a flower thief, what do you say I'm going to do with you?" Zhongli said viciously, "Don't follow the hippie smile, be careful that the camel kills you!" Lifting the sword and shaking it in front of the girl a few times, she was so frightened that she took two or three steps back before she put away her sword and said, "Do you know how to swim?"

The girl shook her head and did not speak.

Zhongli turned back to the forest, picked a tree at the edge, slashed his sword into it, and then pinched the hilt with both hands, pulled and pushed the ground and began to saw. After a few saws, Zhongli glanced at the place just now, but saw that the girl had disappeared, and when he looked into the distance, he found that the girl had jumped into the river, and was swimming to the opposite bank, and had reached the center of the river.

Zhongli never expected that this honest-looking little lady would actually deceive people, pull out her sword and run into the river, but she was injured in her leg, and she ran far faster than usual, and when she ran to the river, the girl was already swimming to the other side.

"Don't run, I'll kill you!"

Zhongli let out a loud shout and jumped into the river.

When the girl heard this, she swam faster, and was about to go ashore, when suddenly her right thigh seemed to be pulled by something, and her whole body fell to the bottom of the water.

A large amount of river water choked on her nose, and the girl's consciousness was blurred all of a sudden.

When she woke up, the girl felt a hot pain in her right thigh, sat up from the ground, opened her eyes and lowered her head, but saw that her pants were taken off, and the middle of her right white thigh was tightly bound by a gray cloth. When he looked up again, he saw that the camel was carrying something in his hand, and he looked at it again, and immediately his heart beat wildly.

The camel carried a monster covered in scales, but it was headless. The other head was at his feet, with a long, large mouth with sharp teeth. The camel was holding a crooked sword in his other hand, scraping the scales of the monster's body.

Zhongli heard the sound of the girl getting up, turned his head, saw that she was awake, and let out a sneer: "Ha, didn't Miss Dai Yue say that she was very obedient? Well, you really don't have this dragon swimming. If it weren't for the speed of the camel's sword, you would have been eaten by the dragon. ”

Dai Yue didn't speak, she looked at Zhongli, then at the dragon's mouth, and then at her bandaged thighs, she was scared and glad in her heart, and then she was a little scared, so she only closed her eyes and thought: When will Daddy bring someone to save me?

Zhongli cleaned the dragon's scale armor and found a long straight branch to thread it from the neck to the tail. Then I picked up some large pebbles, built a shelf, put the dragon on it, and found some dry leaves, withered grass and dry branches, put them below to make a fire, and said loudly while roasting: "This dragon is also called Pig Polong, and the northerners call it a crocodile, which is common in the southern river, and is occasionally infested in the north of the big river, and the Yemo River in Yunzhou." But I didn't expect that there would also be one in the river in Tianzhou. Hehe, it wanted to eat Miss Dai but didn't eat it, but it was taken by my camel for lunch. ”

Dai Yue touched her stomach when she heard this, but she felt a little hungry, and hesitated for a while before she said to Zhongli: "Camel...... You give me a little to eat. ”

Zhongli turned the branch and said, "It's not baked yet, and if you eat it, your stomach will be bad." ”

Dai Yue waited for more than two quarters of an hour, and when she saw that Zhongli had already torn the meat from the dragon to eat, she said, "Camel, now this thing is cooked." ”

Zhongli glanced at Dai Yue and said, "Well, it's ripe." Miss Dai Yue wanted to eat it, so she came over and ate it herself. ”

Dai Yue was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the camel was deliberately making things difficult for herself, and her thigh was bitten, and she couldn't even stand up, so why didn't she go over to eat? But she didn't want to beg anymore, so she supported the ground with her hands, and used her left leg and hands together, and moved little by little to the rack where the roasted dragon was going. The rocky beach was mostly pebbles, but there were still some gravels that were rough or sharp, and soon the skin on her hands and legs was worn out and bleeding from many places.
