Chapter 53: Not Bitter

The mountains are barren mountains, the houses are broken houses, and the tombs are lonely graves.

Dai Yue walked behind Zhongli, only to see him walk quickly to the front of the lonely grave, his body trembled and knelt down, his hands and knees on the ground, and he knocked his head towards the lonely grave. Dai Yue couldn't see Zhongli's expression, and secretly thought in her heart: Is this where he wants to bring me? Who is buried in the grave? What does it have to do with him?

Zhongli kowtowed dozens of times before he stopped and stood up, patted away the dirt on his palms, knees and forehead, turned around and walked in front of Dai Yue, drew the long sword that was bent at his waist, and stabbed it out abruptly, but the tip of the sword stopped at her chest again.

Dai Yue was so frightened that she took off her crutches and fell to the ground. The tip of the sword then fell to the center of her brow.

"Camel, you...... What are you trying to do? You're going to kill me?"

Dai Yue thought that after getting along for many days, the camel should have softened his heart a long time ago, not to mention that the flower thief wanted to pick flowers, how could there be a reason to kill people first. However, the touch of the sword blade was so cold, the skin seemed to have been punctured, and blood flowed down, and Dai Yue's heart fell directly into the ice cellar: He really wants to kill me!

But the blade never continued to pierce.

Zhongli froze in place for a long time, then suddenly sighed and withdrew his sword. The blade of the sword only left a shallow wound at the center of Dai Yue's eyebrows, from which a few drops of blood flowed all the way to the tip of his nose.

Dai Yue's heart was still beating wildly, supporting the ground with her hands, and retreating little by little. After going out for a long time, he stood up and turned around, and ran down the hill with his right leg limp. Dai Yue didn't dare to look back, didn't dare to stop, she was really afraid of this camel from the bottom of her heart: she laughed a few words before going up the mountain, but she was about to kill herself in a blink of an eye! Ah, the camel killed many people along the way, he was a demon who killed people without blinking! I was so stupid, why should I hope that he would treat me specially?

After running for a long time, Dai Yue stopped panting, only to feel that her mouth was dry and her stomach was empty, and when she turned her head to look around, she saw that the soil was yellow and the grass was sparse, and she was desolate, and she didn't know where she had come at all, and she even forgot which way she came from. But as long as you escape the clutches of the camel, it is equivalent to saving your life.

Dai Yue walked aimlessly, getting thirstier and hungrier, until late in the evening, she saw a small river in the distance, ran over with a limp, went to the shore and drank a few mouthfuls of river water, swallowed it with a mouthful of earthy smell, and then retched and coughed several times.

The water is there, the food is still not settled, the lame leg let alone chasing the hare, and it is difficult to catch even a grasshopper. When night came, Dai Yue shrank behind a bush on the shore with her stomach covered, heard the croaking of frogs nearby, but couldn't find a frog, and sighed in her heart: If you don't need a camel to kill, you will starve to death in this wilderness.

There was a sudden howl in the distance, and Dai Yue hurriedly fell to the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly. I don't know if it's a wolf or a jackal or something that makes this terrible scream, but I can't bear to eat them, so I just don't want to be eaten by them.

But the howl was getting closer and closer, and Dai Yue's palms and backs were sweating a lot, and she didn't dare to move. It didn't take long for Dai Yue to bite her lip when she heard the footsteps of rubbing sand and gravel appear nearby, and she only prayed that those things would not come closer.

The moonlight was suddenly blocked by a shadow, a pair of feet appeared in front of him, and the familiar mocking words jumped into his ears: "A few wolf howls will scare you into this virtue." Miss Dai Yue, you are so timid. ”

Dai Yue looked up in amazement, but saw that Zhong Li didn't know when he arrived in front of him, turned around again, and looked at the shadow of a jackal in the empty wilderness? Tears were about to pour out again, Dai Yue tried her best to resist the urge to cry, and said, "If you want to kill, just be fine, why tease me like this?"

Zhongli grinned and said, "You want the camel to kill you, but the camel doesn't kill you, so keep you and play as a monkey." ”

"Whatever you want!" Dai Yue simply lay on her back and fell to the ground, "You can do whatever you want, I won't resist." ”

Zhongli said, "You think it's beautiful. Don't you look at what you look like, and you can pick flowers with a camel, get up from the ground and follow me. ”

Dai Yue puffed out her mouth: "Don't go." ”

"It's okay if you don't leave. Zhongli raised his leg and took two steps forward, and when he saw that Dai Yue hadn't gotten up yet, he paused and said, "Although there are no wolves in this place, there are poisonous snakes." ”

"Ahh

Dai Yue screamed and bounced off the ground, and Zhongli burst out laughing.

The two of them walked in the wilderness wearing stars and moons. Zhongli's legs were still a little lame, Dai Yue was still very lame, and the two of them were always separated by a distance of more than a zhang. Earlier, Zhongli opened his mouth and said, "Miss Dai Yue, your father is a dignified 'Demon Sword King', a famous Tianwei general in the Great Yu Kingdom, why don't you know any martial arts at all?"

Dai Yue kicked away a piece of dirt on the road, and said hatefully, "What kind of martial arts do you want to learn?

Zhongli said: "I think you can't learn, and if you can't eat grapes, you say that grapes are sour." ”

"Nonsense, when I was a child, I learned martial arts quickly. ”

Dai Yue retorted.

"That's strange, you learned martial arts quickly when you were a child, but now you don't seem to know any martial arts at all. ”

"That's because I don't want to learn, it's all wasted. Learning martial arts is hard and tiring, I get up early and go to bed late every day, and I don't have to defend my family and defend the country, I don't have to eliminate violence and peace, and I don't have to learn martial arts. I figured it out when I was 10 years old. As a little girl, I grew up happily, and it is my wish to marry a good-looking and handsome Lang Jun. ”

"Yes, every little girl wants to grow up carefree and marry a good husband. Zhongli's voice was a little hoarder than usual, and it sounded a little desolate, "But you have a family background to protect your wishes, and some people don't." ”

Dai Yue said: "It doesn't have to be any Xuanhe family background, I have seen some peasant women, they have strong fathers, lovely children, and they live happily every day." ”

Zhongli let out a laugh from his nose, "You think everyone can be lucky?"

Dai Yue was dumbfounded for a moment, and thought to herself: What misfortune has happened to the camel? He is murderous and has a strange temperament, but he does not seem to be a person who is completely unreasonable. I talked to him more, and maybe he would send me home as soon as he was in a good mood.

He was silent for a while before he spoke again: "Brother Camel, I don't know what your name is." ”

"My surname is Zhong Mingli, the bell of the death knell, and the distance from hatred. ”

"It sounds poetic, and it goes well with my name. There are words written by the first dynasty, among which there is a sentence 'The bright moon does not know how to leave the hatred and suffering, and the oblique light penetrates the Zhu Hu in the dawn', there is a separation, and there is also a moon, haha. ”

Zhongli stopped: "What are you laughing at?"

"I ...... I think the two of us are actually quite fateful......"

"'The bright moon does not know how to leave hatred and suffering', hehe, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, since it is eternal, how can you know the pain of parting from death in life?

Dai Yue was silent, secretly complaining, how did she think of this sentence, but she committed a camel's taboo!

Zhongli didn't get angry as she guessed, and after saying that, he said, "Actually, I wanted to kill you at first, but then I didn't want to. ”

"Why?"

"I originally wanted to kill you and make your father taste the pain, but then I thought that your stupid and ugly daughter would only disgrace him when he died, and instead of suffering, he would be happy. I don't want to kill you. ”

Dai Yue opened her mouth to refute, saying that her father clearly hurt herself the most, but after thinking about it, if she wanted to say this, wouldn't it be equivalent to stretching her neck to the blade of the sword? ”

Zhongli drew out the serpentine sword and raised it towards the moon, and the faint moonlight sprinkled on the dark sword's body, floating with a very special luster.

"Of course it is a good sword, even the world's famous swordsman Luo Qinghan can think of it. ”

"Where did you get such a good sword?"

"Stole, of course. ”

"Where did you steal it?"

"Far to the south. ”

"Who is the original owner of the sword, and how did you steal it?"

"I don't want to talk to you. ”

"Actually, I think this sword is a good match for you. ”

"Oh? Why?"

"It's all strange at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that there is a hidden edge and a hidden secret. ”

"It's useless for you to flatter me, the camel is not afraid of being scolded by anyone, and he doesn't need anyone to flatter. ”

"It's not flattery, it's true. Can I see your swordsmanship again?"

"Haven't you seen it? I have killed many people. ”

"I was too scared to look at it. ”

Zhongli stopped suddenly, and Dai Yue also stopped.

As soon as the long sword moved, the sword body swept over Dai Yue's neck, Zhongli appeared behind Dai Yue, and thousands of long hairs floated into the sky and scattered with the wind.
