Chapter 14: On the Way Home

As night fell, Tang Xuehui still sat at my desk, carefully reviewing her homework, holding a brush in her right hand, and making some notes from time to time.

Today's class is so simple, why hasn't she finished reading it yet? I wondered in my heart, and it was inconvenient to disturb her, so I couldn't help but yawn and turned on the lamp on the table.

"Huh?" she raised her head and exclaimed, "Is it so late?" ”

"Where," I chuckled, "look at your urgency." Tang Xuehui looked at the sky and said, "Let's clean up, let's go back, it's too late, it's going to be dangerous." ”

Tang Xuehui carefully packed her schoolbag neatly, and touched up some makeup in the mirror, I smiled: "Sister Hui, you are so beautiful, you really don't need to wear makeup, not to mention that it is dark at night, and others can't see your peerless face?"

Tang Xuehui ignored my jokes and pursed her lips in the mirror to make the lipstick more even: "This is etiquette." ”

Tang Xuehui finished her makeup, took out a neatly folded plain white gauze skirt from her bag and said, "I brought you a skirt, you can try it." ”

I can't help but wonder if I took it out before I left ······the house? A bit of a waste of time?

Strange and strange, I went to the inner room to change into a skirt and came out, the plain white gauze skirt was very thin at the waist, but fortunately I was slimmer, I didn't feel tight, the sleeves and skirt were very large, fluttering with the wind, looking flying and elegant.

Tang Xuehui praised: "It's so good-looking, it's like a fairy descending to earth, Ranran, can you wear this to accompany me back and show my mother?"

It's good to look at, but ······

"It's not easy to fight," I hesitated, "and in the dark······ Isn't it too conspicuous in a white shirt?"

"Ranran, you're so good, you must be fine. ”

I couldn't resist her, so I had to agree.

After grinding for a long time, it was already dark.

I hung the long sword on my waist and grabbed Tang Xuehui's right hand: "Let's go." ”

Tang Xuehui withdrew her right hand, turned to my right side, pulled my right hand with her left hand, and said, "Let's go, my right hand was pricked by a needle when I was embroidering yesterday, and it hurts." ”

Embroidery ······ ······ ?

I casually asked, "Do you embroider with your left hand?"

Tang Xuehui's smile stiffened, and she said, "Yes······ Another kind of embroidery technique, pierced when changing needles. ”

I didn't pay much attention, although I felt that my right hand was held, which would hinder the drawing of the sword, but I didn't think I would meet robbers, Tang Xuehui insisted on copying the path, so she led me to walk in a strange place, there were alleys on the left and right.

It was late at night.

An alley on the right is closer to us, and a little farther away on the left, all of which are unlit and dark.

Tang Xuehui's smile became more and more cheerful, but a layer of cold sweat was already pouring out of her palm.

I looked at her sideways: "Sister Hui, are you afraid?"

Tang Xuehui smiled sweetly: "How could it be?" "There's nothing to be afraid of, I will protect you." As we spoke, we had reached the entrance of the alley on the right, and we were about to step on the left.

Tang Xuehui narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"Ahh

The smile on Tang Xuehui's face froze, and she hurriedly pushed me: "Let's go!"

"Don't be afraid," I stopped, turned and pulled her behind me at the entrance of the alley.

A trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes, and then she grabbed the corner of my clothes with tears in her eyes: "Ranran, I'm afraid, let's go?"

If I were a boy and I would not have been able to refuse watching her whisper with tears in her eyes, but I just felt a little pitiful for her: "Don't be afraid. ”

She gritted her teeth and frowned, Chu Chu's pitiful demeanor just now was gone, and she said angrily: "Whether the people here are dead or alive, it doesn't matter to you ······" She probably felt that the latter word was indecent, and she stopped suddenly.

I unsheathed my sword, my attention no longer on her, and I replied casually, "I can't die without help." Even if it's ······" I thought about it, and there didn't seem to be anyone I particularly hated to give an example, so I said, "Even if it's Ye Zi'an, I'll save it." ”

Tang Xuehui was stunned and opened her mouth wide, but she didn't argue again.

I took out the fire fold with my left hand and shook it in the wind.

The fire flashed, illuminating the alley and showing it at a glance.

The end of the alley was sealed, and there was only one man in black lying on his side in a pool of blood on the ground, his pure black robe was stained with blood and mud, and the black hair on his forehead was stuck to his face due to sweat and blood, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, but he was obviously very young, only slightly older than me, even if he was so embarrassed and struggling to breathe lying in the dilapidated alley, covered in blood and mud, he still couldn't hide the noble and noble aura on his body.

There was a cold blue long sword beside him, but it was obvious that this person was not from Mu Fu.

The fire burned out. Since there was no danger, I put my sword in the sheath, and when my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I stepped forward, squatted beside him, knelt on one knee, and asked softly: "Shaoxia, may I ask what injuries you have suffered, can you help you below?"

The young man in black endured the pain, sweat mixed with blood dripping down his hair, he gritted his teeth and said coldly, "No." ”

Just two words exhausted his patience, and he gasped sharply, but he didn't snort.

I took out the porcelain bottle from the underwear bag, and there were still two pills left in it, which was the only medicine for my injury, and it was given to me by Ye Zi'an at that time.

I poured out the pill and brought it to his mouth: "Eat it, the medicine is very effective." ”

The young man in black pursed his lips, through his hair, his black eyes were full of stubborn ruthlessness, and he refused to accept any favors.

"It's not poisonous," I gently advised, "eat it." ”

Since he insisted on refusing, I had no choice but to give up, withdraw the wound medicine, reach out and press his vest, and convey a little real power to him. In a few moments, he was able to say the full words: "You······ Why do you want to save me?" the voice was weak, but the majesty and anger in his tone could still be heard.

I pursed my lips: I was kind enough to save people, but he was still so angry? I couldn't help but be very dissatisfied: "I love to save and save, can you control me?"

He was stunned, and he couldn't laugh or cry, and said coldly: "You're not afraid that I will kill you, what if I'm a big devil?"

I couldn't help but sneer, "Kill me, then will you tell me again?" Tell you, I can't die without help. Do you love to be rescued, I don't bother to care, anyway, I want to save you, what can you do?" Seeing that he is so unreasonable, I simply play tricks unscrupulously.

The lazy scoundrel who was angry at me, the young man in black couldn't do anything, he opened his mouth and smiled bitterly.

"When—" The sound of metal and bluestone slabs colliding.

Looking back, a knife fell to the ground, and Tang Xuehui looked at the person in front of her with a stunned and angry expression.

???

Fang Chengyu?

He was dressed in a black tight-fitting night suit, and wore a single knife at his waist, with a heavy blade and a heavy knife, which was obviously a sharp weapon.

Fang Chengyu looked at the black-clothed young man in surprise, and said in a lost voice: "Teach ······"

"Shut up. The black-clothed young man glared at him, not angry.

Fang Chengyu was silent, he hurriedly took two steps, put the black-clothed young man on his back, and then took out a silver ticket from his arms, pinched it with his two fingers, faced Tang Xuehui, and said coldly: "The original thing is returned, I am selling a knife, not a soul, even if we are notorious, we will never take revenge, please." ”

The shadow flickered, and the bookstore owner and the mysterious boy were far away.

The silver ticket floated down and landed next to the knife, with the words "Tattooed Silver Seven Thousand Liangzheng" written on it.
