Chapter 227: Dream Man
People are most afraid of loneliness, whether it is happy or sad, they hope that they can have someone by their side, accompany themselves to experience all the good and bad things, sometimes it is just a dream hidden in the heart, sometimes it may become a reality, when you have no time to react.
In the overgrown manor, the Seven Sages King looked coldly at a woman standing in front of him with his head bowed, his eyes were cold, his face was gloomy, if his eyes could kill, the woman standing in front of him would have already died.
"Do you know what you've done yourself?!" the Seven Sages King said in a deep voice as he looked at the woman, his voice full of anger.
"Yes. The woman still lowered her head and said softly, with a respectful attitude, as if she was extremely in awe of the Seven Sages King in front of her, and she didn't even dare to look up at the eyes of the Seven Sage Kings.
"Do you know you're still going to die?!" the Seven Sages shouted, as if the woman's answer had made him even angrier, and he was about to explode.
But at this time, the woman raised her head for the first time, looked at the Seven Sages King, and said firmly: "I just don't want another person in the world who is struggling in the whirlpool of feelings like me, I know that pain!"
With a "snap", the Seven Sages King directly shook his hand and gave the woman a loud slap, which was heard very clearly in the dark night.
The woman's body was shocked by this slap, and her face turned red instantly, but she didn't back down at all, she still looked at the Seven Sages King tightly, biting her lip, and a trace of stubbornness appeared on her face.
The Seven Sages King looked at the woman's unyielding eyes and was silent, he didn't know where the woman in front of him came from with such great courage, not only did he let people go behind his back, but after being discovered by himself, he dared to speak out so bluntly, without a trace of remorse.
At this moment, several figures passed through the dark night, swept in through the gate, and came to a stop after coming to the side of the Seven Sages. One of them stepped forward and whispered, "Lord Wang," he said, looking up at the gloomy face of the Seven Sages King, frowning, and continuing, "Let her escape." After speaking, he shrunk his neck, as if he was worried that the Seven Sages King would blame.
This person is none other than the personal guard of the Seven Sage Kings, the captain of the guards of the Sage King's Mansion, Gong Jiu.
But unexpectedly, the Seven Sages King did not get angry, but was silent for a while and said: "Send someone to chase her, no matter what, you must chase it back, even if you chase it to the ends of the earth, but you must not hurt her, you must bring her back completely!"
Gong Jiu frowned, nodded in response, turned around and walked out, turning his head to look at the woman standing opposite the Seven Sages King in the gap between turns, and glared fiercely.
The Seven Sages King calmed down his emotions and was excited, and then walked towards the gate, and when he passed by the woman, he stopped, lowered his voice, and said coldly: "You'd better not forget what I'm keeping your life for, if you dare to do things behind my back next time, I will kill you with my own hands! This is the last time!" After speaking, without waiting for the woman to speak, he raised his head and strode out of the gate.
Listening to the footsteps gradually fade away, the manor once again fell into a deathly silence, the woman slowly raised her head, let out a long breath, the corners of her mouth showed a helpless bitter smile to the extreme, and tears seemed to be flashing in her eyes......
In an unknown town, people who get up early have already begun to get busy, and the shops and restaurants on the street have begun to open for business, welcoming the first rays of sunshine in the morning.
But there was one man who seemed to have not had such a full day in a long time, and even seemed to have almost forgotten what a bowl of hot food tasted like.
In the morning light, an emaciated figure appeared on the street, a white shirt was already in tatters at this time, covered with dust, hair was a little messy, a dirty face, the original appearance could no longer be seen, but it could be seen that this was a woman, a "beggar" who did not look like a beggar, appeared on the street of this town that had just woken up from sleep.
Some people have noticed the "beggars" who wandered the streets of the town at dawn, but they only noticed it, and did not pay much attention to it, it is inevitable that there will be famine in some places these years, and it is normal for one or two beggars to appear, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and there is nothing that can be done.
The "beggar" walked slowly on the street, his feet were unusually heavy, and he didn't know whether he had lost his strength after being hungry for too long, or because he had walked too far, and his legs had not obeyed the call. As she walked, she stopped in front of a steamed bun shop, looked at the steaming steamed buns, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva, because her mouth was so dry that she was about to catch fire.
The owner of the steamed bun shop seemed to have discovered this "guest" who had been staying for a long time, but he did not come forward to greet him, because he didn't have to think about it to know that the "guest" in front of the door would not have money on him, and he couldn't even afford a bun skin.
So he directly pretended not to see it, it was not that he was ruthless, but that he was originally a small business, he also had to support his family, and if he fed others, he would have to go hungry, not to mention that there was a large family waiting for him to feed. This is the cruelty of reality, so cruel that it has made people gradually forget the warmth and coldness of human feelings.
The "beggar" still did not leave, still standing quietly at the door of the bun shop, as if reluctant to withdraw his gaze, as if it was a kind of enjoyment to look at it like this, like looking at a kind of hope.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves broke the quiet of the early morning in the town, and more than a dozen fast horses rushed into the town, riding more than a dozen big men with weapons on horseback, and pulled the reins at the moment they entered the town, accompanied by a neighing of horses, more than a dozen horses stopped instantly, and the people on the horse began to look coldly at everyone who appeared in sight, with sharp eyes.
The "beggar" who was staring at the buns in a daze also heard the sound of horses' hooves, glanced sideways slightly, and then slowly left the door of the bun shop and walked towards an alley, although the steps were still slow, but they were more determined than just now, as if the steaming buns were no longer attractive to him.
More than a dozen big men did not dismount, but rode directly into the town slowly, observing the surrounding shops and restaurants as they walked, as well as everyone who could see with their eyes, as if they were looking for something.
More than a dozen horses, more than a dozen people, just like this, slowly moving forward, at this moment, a burst of aroma came to the nose, and I couldn't help but look sideways, it turned out to be a steaming steamed bun shop. Looking at the enthusiastic and expectant eyes of the boss standing in the bun shop, more than a dozen people were expressionless and walked straight to the front.
Although they were already hungry one by one, they did not dare to stop, because they had more important things to do, and that matter was probably related to their lives, and if they lost their lives, what was the use of having enough to eat.
As soon as he walked not far away, the man on one of the horses suddenly frowned, as if he sensed something, pulled the reins, stopped, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the bun shop that had just passed, hesitated for a moment, turned around and turned back.
"Boss, come out for a moment. The man rode to the door of the bun shop and shouted at the boss inside.
Hearing someone greet him, the owner of the bun shop trotted out happily, looked up at the bearded man sitting on horseback, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, officer, what do you want?" This may be his first guest today, and he is also the God of Wealth, so he can't close his mouth with a little joy.
"Where is the beggar standing here just now?" The bearded man suddenly asked an inexplicable word, it turned out that he was not here to buy steamed buns, but suddenly found that the "beggar" standing at the door of the steamed bun shop just now had disappeared.
Hearing the words of the person on the horse, the owner of the bun shop was a little disappointed, put away his smile, and said lightly: "I didn't pay much attention to it." The expression on his face was no longer as enthusiastic as before, but he was a little reluctant to pay attention, if he hadn't seen that the other party was all carrying weapons, it was estimated that he wouldn't even say a word.
"Where have you gone?" the bearded man continued.
"Well..."The boss stretched out his hand, pointing back and forth to several forks in the road in front of him, as if there was a trace of uncertainty, and finally pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "It seems to be going to that alley." As he spoke, he pointed to the alley that the "beggar" had turned into just now, in fact, he had already known that he was just deliberately playing with the bearded man in front of him just now.
The bearded man glared at the boss coldly, turned around and led the people to ride towards the alley, but the speed was obviously faster than just now, as if he was chasing the "beggar" who arrived not long before them.
In the depths of the alley, in a corner, huddled sat a ragged woman, haggard, with dry lips, her eyes slightly closed, leaning against the wall. Looking weak, it was the "beggar" who had just left the bun shop and walked into the alley. It seemed that she could no longer walk, and even her breathing sounded a little weak.
At this moment, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded and reached the ears of the "beggar". The "beggar", who was leaning against the corner with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, and then saw that the dozen or so horses had stopped in the alley, only a few steps away from her, and she had just noticed.
Seeing this, the "beggar" stood up from the ground in a panic, and almost stumbled and fell down due to excessive force, dizziness, and then slowly retreated while leaning against the wall, while coldly looking at the dozen fierce people in front of him.
"Run, why don't you run?" the bearded man just now sneered and looked at the "beggar" in front of him, and said coldly.
The "beggar" did not speak, but stared quietly at the group of uninvited guests in front of her, without a trace of fear on her face, and before she knew it, her fingers on the wall had been buckled into the cracks in the wall, and she was unaware.
The bearded man looked coldly at the "beggar" in front of him, did not speak again, waved his hand to his subordinates, and motioned to his subordinates to arrest the "beggar".
The "beggar" saw that someone had jumped off the horse and walked towards him, bit his lip, and suddenly waved the hand behind her back vigorously forward! Two of them were caught off guard and were immediately stabbed with silver needles, and then began to fall to the ground wailing with painful expressions.
Several other big men who were lucky enough to avoid the sneak attack of the silver needle no longer dared to be careless, but they did not retreat, they pulled out their weapons one after another, and slowly approached the "beggar".
The woman who used the silver needle point kung fu was not really a beggar, it was Ruyi who had just escaped from the tiger's den, but she became so embarrassed because she had been running around all night, but she didn't expect the other party to come so fast and still catch up with her. It's no wonder how two feet can run more than four legs.
Seeing that several big men were getting closer and closer, but Ruyi no longer had silver needles on her body, she could only watch the enemy slowly approach, but she was not afraid, but she never wanted to go back to the place where she didn't see the light of day, and she never wanted to see that man again.
She had already made up her mind, if the other party really caught her, then she would rather die than go back with them, even if she hit her head on the wall and died, she would not go back, because she knew what the purpose of releasing herself to go back, she didn't want to be an unintentional burden all the time, even if she would never see each other again in this life. Wuxin has been forced to go to the Wind Moon Valley for her once, and she doesn't want to agree to the enemy to do something that she doesn't want to do because of herself.
The enemy finally walked up to her side and reached out to grab her. Ruyi sighed, and was about to hit the wall on one side, but suddenly his eyes widened, with a look of disbelief, followed by a tear that burst out of his eyes, and the whole person suddenly sat down on the ground limply.
A figure fell from the wall like lightning, kicked out two feet quickly, forced back several big men who were about to catch Ruyi, and then fell lightly to the ground, and a strong murderous aura instantly permeated the entire alley, overwhelming people.
Ruyi opened her tearful eyes, looking at the figure standing in front of her with her back to her, this figure that had haunted her countless times, she couldn't control herself anymore, and her tears were like a flood that burst the embankment, washing away the dust on her cheeks, washing away the exhaustion and despair that almost overwhelmed her......
