Chapter 12 Take the thief
After cleaning up, a few people walked around Yangzhou carefully, specifically picking a place with many people. Just like this, Yangzhou City caused a sensation, and almost no one knew the whereabouts of the beauty.
Although people will pay attention to themselves wherever they go, for Lu Yanran, it is a relaxation that she has not had since she was a child.
This is a great way to get around. The mood is naturally very good. The only remaining mustard in my heart for Hu Man'er is gone.
Even the talk was much more than usual. By the time we got back to the inn, it was already dark. The golden crescent moon hangs in the sky, which is in stark contrast to Yangzhou under the lights.
A few people hastily ate their meals and went back to their rooms to rest, but they were all vigilant. Just wait for the thief to deliver it to the door himself.
Hu Man'er firmly believes that his plan this time will definitely lead to this thief. Hu Man'er stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking at the bright moon outside the window, the moonlight was faintly sprinkled on Hu Man'er, if anyone saw Hu Man'er at this time, they would find that he was a little desolate at this time.
I haven't been down the mountain for many days, and I don't know how Qing'er is now. Is it like you miss him?
Hu Man'er stretched out his finger and gently stroked the old windowsill, looking at the bright moon in the sky, the feeling of loneliness was indescribable.
"Is Qing'er looking at this picturesque moon like me at this time?" Hu Man'er muttered to herself.
But then he laughed at himself, if this month can really convey his heart, then all the infatuated people in this world will have endless heartfelt feelings.
Who knows, at this time, on top of Lingxiao Peak, a gentle beauty is sewing a big red wedding robe under the lamp, with a needle and a thread of red silk around her fingers.
If you look closely, you will see that the woman's fingers are full of scars. No, I was stabbed in the finger by a needle if I didn't pay attention to it.
A drop of bright red blood slowly overflowed from the wound, condensed into beads and dripped on the wedding robe, and there was not the slightest hint of it being integrated into it.
The woman took her fingers into her mouth and gently sucked away the blood that was the same color as her robe. Looking up at the bright moon outside the window, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, the mountain breeze at night was slightly cool, the woman tightened the gauze on her body, and there was a crystal flash in her eyes.
After a short pause, he continued to make the wedding robe.
"You must make this robe before the brute returns, and he said he would marry me when he returned. The woman thought so, with that lovely smile on her lips all the time.
His eyes were full of tenderness. Hu Man'er stretched out his hand to close the mottled wooden window, and slowly walked to the front of the collapse and lay down in his clothes, but curled up his thin body, lonely.
Late at night, there was a slight sound of falling tiles from the roof in the haze, and Hu Man'er sat up suddenly, smiling faintly.
"It's coming. Then he suddenly turned over and went to the window, gently opened the wooden window, and listened to the sound of the roof rustling.
As the footsteps approached, Hu Man'er stretched out his hand, five fingers into claws and a claw in the void, and the broken iron sword that had been reluctant to throw away for many years and was now taken down the mountain by him for many years, trembled and flew into the air, and instantly fell into Hu Man'er's hands.
Hu Man'er held his sword and gently stepped on the windowsill, bent over and waiting for the best time. After a while, a slight landing sound reached Hu Man'er's ears, the corners of Hu Man'er's mouth were slightly upturned, and his toes were lightly touched, and his figure floated out silently like a ghost.
Following the eaves outside the window, I came to Lu Yanran's window in a few steps. Wet his fingers with saliva, gently pierced the thin layer of window paper like a cicada's wings, and squinted his eyes to look in.
In the dark, the needle drop could be heard in the room, and there was nothing unusual, only silence. Not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Hu Man'er sensed that something seemed to be wrong, and when he looked at the collapse, there was no one. Hu Man'er felt bad in his heart, and slammed his palm on the wooden window, and the wooden window shattered.
He stepped into the house in a flash, and immediately looked around, but he didn't see anyone, only a faint fragrance.
Hu Man'er sniffed lightly and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, this burst of fragrance turned out to be a drug. The heart is not good, and he grabs the door at the moment.
A few brisk walks rushed into the street. Yangzhou in the middle of the night seems to be a sleeping lion, and none of the lights are still on.
There is no daylight in the prosperity of the times. There was only the occasional sound of snorting in the distance, and it was not real to hear intermittently.
By the bright moonlight, the wind blew through the streets, bringing up pieces of falling cherry blossoms. Hu Man'er was anxious, and his face was full of solemnity.
Suddenly, there was a figure on the roof opposite, and Hu Man'er jumped up and chased after him like grasping a life-saving straw.
brought up pieces of cherry red again. It only took a moment to fall where the figure had appeared, but the figure had already fled before him.
Hu Man'er was worried that something was wrong with Lu Yanran, not only because he was out of the same school, after all, the plan to lure the enemy was offered by him Hu Man'er.
It is reasonable to rescue Lu Yanran. I didn't have time to think about it, so I had to chase after it. Although Hu Man'er is already a mountain man, his body and skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But no matter how you chase it, you just see the shadow of the other party. After chasing Mo for about a stick of incense, Hu Man'er couldn't see the other party's figure anymore.
Hu Man'er had no choice but to stop, looked around, and it turned out that he had chased out of Yangzhou and into a mountain forest on the outskirts of the city.
In the middle of the forest stood thick birches, and it was dark all around, with only the slightest hint of moonlight falling to the ground through the thick branches.
Hu Man'er punched a dead birch beside him in annoyance, startling a few black crows perched on the branches, and fled in all directions with an annoying rattling sound.
At this time, Hu Man'er felt remorse in his heart, if he really couldn't save Lu Yanran, how could he be worthy of everyone.
It was he who underestimated this hateful thief. At this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound behind him, which should be caused by stepping on a dead branch.
Hu Man'er suddenly drew his sword and turned around, staring at the person with dead eyes. The person in front of him was tall and slender, dressed in black plain clothes, and his face was covered with a black veil.
His face was unclear in the haze. I can only see the bare eyebrows, which looks a little delicate, and the face should be a little handsome.
The most important thing is that this person is carrying a woman on his shoulder, and it seems that it should be Lu Yanran. Hu Man'er didn't rush to make a move, just quietly looked at this guy who didn't know the depths.
Judging from the fact that this guy can easily shake off himself with a person, this person's ability is not under him, and if he makes a rash move, he is afraid that he will ruin the chance to save people.
can only stalemate first, hoping that Zuo Liangqing and the others can find this place, and together they will take action to lower this person. Before Hu Man'er could open his mouth to test, the person who came asked first, his voice was crisp but powerful, with a hint of playfulness.
"This little brother, you have chased you from the inn to this point, don't you also fall in love with this girl? This is the little brother, you are wrong, the so-called gentleman does not win people's love. This girl is the first thing I have taken a fancy to, so I have to talk about a first-come, first-served basis. If you insist on taking it by force, then don't blame you for it. I didn't mean to hurt anyone, so don't ask for yourself. ”
"Bah, I don't mean to hurt anyone? So you're still a good person? A good person would break into the girl's boudoir in the middle of the night? Take away other people's girls? And pick out beautiful girls? Look at what has happened to Yangzhou City by you in the past few days. Come on. might as well tell you that the girl on your shoulder is Lao Tzu's nephew, and Lao Tzu came to save her on purpose. By the way, I took you to ask the official to earn a reward, and I broke the sword in my hand in advance. Hu Man'er shook the sword in his hand in awe-inspiring and retorted.
The man opposite narrowed his good-looking Danfeng eyes, and replied with a slight mockery: "I didn't break into the girl's boudoir to harm others, and I don't need to explain the reason to you." I advise you to go back, and when I finish my business, I will naturally send her back in good condition, and promise not to touch a single cold hair of her. ”
"Oh, that's true, I almost believed it. A thief is a thief, and he is really a clever tongue. Hu Man'er glanced at the other party with disdain and said disdainfully.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. "The man in black doesn't want to entangle with Hu Man'er more, and wants to be reincarnated. When Hu Man'er saw that he was leaving, he didn't care much at the moment, he shook the iron sword in his hand and gently picked it up, his toes suddenly hit the ground, and the whole person bounced up instantly, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight towards the back of the man's heart, and in an instant, the tip of the sword was already in front of the man.
Seeing that he was about to pierce this person's body, he saw that this person suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and suddenly appeared behind Hu Man'er.
I don't know if it's because he's too fast to see it, or if he's proficient in a certain secret method and can come and go freely. Hu Man'er noticed that there was something wrong behind him, and he didn't have time to react, so he flipped his wrist and instantly reversed the direction of the tip of the sword, and slashed it flatly, only to hear a sound, and the sword body slashed on a hard object, rubbing out bursts of sparks.
When I looked closely, it turned out that a delicate iron fan appeared in the man's hand at some point. I don't know what material it is made of, and it is extremely hard.
No matter how Hu Man'er beheaded him, he couldn't leave a trace on it. Under Hu Man'er's slash, the figure in black retreated slightly, but it stabilized its figure in an instant.
A flash of approval flashed in his eyes, and he spoke.
"Yes, the young age has crossed the weeping, and in time there will be something to be done. But now you're just an ant in my eyes. Come back. I really don't want to hurt anyone. Hu Man'er was a little surprised, and was surprised that this person knew Cheng Weeping, and he must be from the mountain.
How can a man on the mountain be a thief? I can't figure it out for a while, and I don't bother to think about it again. Call him a good guy or a bad guy, and now he's the enemy.
Immediately ignoring the man's words, he raised his sword and rushed forward again, but when he looked up again, the figure disappeared again.
Hu Man'er was only slightly stunned, but he didn't know that an iron fan glowing with cold light suddenly appeared on his left side, and slashed firmly at his neck.
Hu Man'er only felt that the world was spinning, and then slowly fell to the soft ground. The last picture I saw was the footsteps of the man in black carrying Lu Yanran and slowly leaving.
