Vol.1 In the World 100 - Xanadu (3)
Xiaoman sat by the stream and waited, but after a while, Yun Luochen did not come back. At this time, two girls in red clothes passed by her, and when they came from a distance, they saw Xiao Man sitting by the stream, and when they came closer, Xiao Man was still sitting there motionless, and one of the girls couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Man, what are you doing?"
The little man replied without looking back, "I'm sitting." ”
The girl in red laughed, "I know you're sitting, I'm asking you, what are you doing sitting?"
Xiaoman said, "I'm waiting for my master." ”
The girl in red laughed even louder, "Do you still have a master?" After saying that, she turned to her companion and said, "Did you hear that?" she said that she had a master. ”
The other girl laughed too, "I heard it, but I didn't believe it." ”
"I don't believe it either," said the girl who spoke first, "and the little man is talking nonsense again." ”
Xiaoman snorted and said triumphantly: "I am not only a master, my master is also an immortal, better than your master!"
The two girls in red both smiled and bent over, and one of them said to the other, "I'm afraid I'm crazy, so we have to stay away from her." ”
"Every day there is trouble everywhere, which master is willing to ask her?" said another girl.
"Yes, she doesn't do business, she is naughty all day long, no wonder others say that she doesn't look like a girl, but like a man, hahaha!"
As soon as Xiao Man heard this, he stood up immediately, staring at the two of them with round apricot eyes, "Who do you say looks like a man?" Looking at her extremely angry appearance, it seems that "man" is an extremely vicious curse word.
But this is not surprising, after all, any young girl who is called a "man" by others will not be too happy to think about it.
The two girls immediately laughed and ran away, shouting loudly as they ran, "Run, run, a man is coming to beat us!"
Xiao Man immediately chased after her angrily, she waved the wooden sword in her hand and shouted, "I'm going to hack you to death!" But she remembered what Yun Luochen had said to her before, so she had to give up the idea of continuing to chase.
When the two girls saw that she was no longer chasing, they felt bored, so they stopped and asked her strangely, "Why didn't you chase her?"
Xiaoman said proudly: "Because I have to wait here for my master." ”
"Are you going to sit here until dark?"
Xiao Man said firmly: "If the master doesn't come back, I will spend the night here." ”
At this time, a girl with a ponytail ran in the distance, this girl was one of the two girls who were playing with Xiaoman in the water at the beginning, and she shouted to Xiaoman as she ran: "Xiaoman, you go home quickly, the city lord has gone to your house to find you!"
Saying that, she had run to Xiao Man, her face became as red as a peach blossom because of running, she patted her little chest and said to Xiao Man: "I'm tired to death, Xiao Man, you go home quickly, the city lord has gone to your house to find you." ”
Xiaoman said: "You have already said this before. ”
The ponytail girl said, "I told you once, but you didn't move." ”
Xiaoman said: "Because I can't go home yet." ”
"Why can't you go home?"
"Because I'm waiting for my master, if I leave here, my master won't find me when he comes back. ”
"Your master?" the ponytail girl was stunned, "When did you have a master?"
Xiaoman said, "Just now." ”
The ponytail girl took Xiaoman's hand and said, "Let's not talk about your master, the city lord is standing at the door of your house, and he looks very angry, if you don't go back, your home may be gone." ”
Xiaoman thought that if her home was gone, it would be meaningless to continue waiting for the master, so she had to follow the ponytail girl to the house.
Before leaving, she brought a stone, and then swung her wooden sword to scratch the stone, and the ponytail girl asked her curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Xiaoman said: "I am drawing a map, and when my master comes, when he sees the map on this stone, he will know where my family lives." ”
The ponytail girl leaned over to look at the mess of squares and arrows on the stone, and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "I know I'm not good at drawing, but it doesn't matter, my master is a fairy, he must understand." ”
When she finished drawing the map and reluctantly followed the ponytail girl home, she was still muttering: "Huai Xingchen, a hateful, looks for my stubble every day and is annoyed." ”
The ponytail girl whispered, "Don't let her hear this." ”
Xiaoman "snorted" and said, "I'm not afraid." ”
The ponytail girl said: "No matter what, she is also the lord of the city here, if you anger her, no one will dare to speak for you, not to mention that she is also the strongest swordsman in the country, everyone wants to convince her to be her apprentice." ”
Xiao Man looked disdainful, "Phew, Huai Xingchen, this cheap woman, she is a fart master, she gives all the important positions in the city to her apprentices, and the benefits are all to her own family, she is a parasite who is a fake public and private person! I don't want to be her apprentice!"
The ponytail girl said, "It is because you are always against her that she always troubles you." ”
"I just can't get used to her," Xiao Manchu snorted, "By the way, Caiyue, what reason did that woman use to find fault with me this time?"
Caiyue thought for a while and said: "I don't know very well, I just heard her say, 'Xiaoman, that stinky girl is getting bolder, tell her to get out, if she doesn't get out again, the old lady will tear up her nest today'." ”
Xiao Man asked, "How do you know I'm still here?"
Caiyue said: "I see that you are not at home, and I remember that when we were bathing and playing in the creek before, a beast rushed over, and you didn't run with us at that time, so I came over to try my luck." ”
Xiao Man sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the cheap woman who came to make trouble this time has something to do with the beast." ”
Caiyue wondered, "What does she have to do with that wild boar?"
"The boar has a star mark on its back. ”
Caiyue suddenly realized: "Could it be that this beast has already been subdued by her?"
Xiao Man nodded and said: "I'm afraid that's the case, as the city lord, I haven't seen her do anything serious, so I know that I hunt every day, and it is estimated that this beast was caught in her own house when she was hunting." ”
Caiyue asked again, "But what does this have to do with you?"
Xiao Man's face suddenly showed a very proud expression, "Because I blew up one of the beast's pig heads." ”
When the two girls walked to the door of a bungalow together, they saw a beautiful woman in an aqua blue openwork armor standing in front of the door, holding a long sword with a star on it.
"Lord of the city, Xiaoman is here. Caiyue led Xiaoman to the woman and said softly.
Huai Xingchen looked at Xiao Man coldly, Xiao Man also looked up at her, she said to Huai Xingchen, "I heard that you are going to demolish my house?"
Huai Xingchen said: "Since you came out, I won't demolish your house, I'll teach you a lesson." ”
Xiaoman was unconvinced and said, "Why are you teaching me?"
Huai Xingchen said, "You injured the beast in my house, right?"
Xiao Man replied very dryly: "No." ”
"Isn't it?"
"It's not. Xiao Man lied, his face did not change color, and his heart did not beat.
Huai Xingchen's face became ugly, "It seems that you are not only a troublemaker, but also a liar. ”
Xiao Man was cheeky and refused to admit it, "Why do you say I'm lying?"
Huai Xingchen said: "There are still elemental fluctuations left by the sword qi of the Wood Spirit Sword on the wound of the sealed beast in my house, and the people in this vicinity have the Wood Spirit Sword in their hands and are naughty and mischievous, are you the only one who is Xiaoman, do you dare to take out your Wood Spirit Sword and show it to me?"
Xiao Man's right hand tightly grasped the wooden sword on his waist, and he put on a rogue appearance and said, "I won't." ”
Huai Xingchen didn't speak, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xiao Man's wrist with a palm, a white light flashed, Xiao Man immediately covered his wrist and screamed: "Ah, you shameless stinky woman, dead eight women, you actually engage in sneak attacks, it's really obscene!"
Huai Xingchen was scolded in anger, rushed forward and slapped Xiao Man hard, then snatched the wooden sword that Xiao Man pinned to his waist, put the sword edge to his nose and sniffed, his face immediately became more angry, and he scolded angrily: "There is still the bloody breath of the beast on the sword, what else do you have to say?"
Xiao Man covered his red face, stalked his neck and said loudly: "I beat that beast, what do you want?"
She said again: "Obviously, you don't care about your own beast, let it run around, if I don't fight back, I will be hit and killed by it!"
Huai Xingchen said coldly, "Who would believe your liar?"
Xiao Man pointed to Caiyue, who was standing on the side, and said, "She can testify." ”
Huai Xingchen turned his head to look at Caiyue, who immediately lowered his head and said, "I did see the beast running towards us, we were bathing in the water at that time, and I was so frightened that I ran away when I saw it." ”
Huai Xingchen nodded and said, "Very good, that is, you just watched it run towards you, and you didn't see it attack you, right?"
Caiyue stopped talking.
Xiao Man immediately shouted angrily: "You are really unreasonable, it didn't come over to attack us, did it want to take a bath with us?"
Xiao Man looked back at Caiyue and said, "Do you think she is unreasonable?"
Caiyue lowered her head and still didn't speak. Huai Xingchen raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Do you still expect someone to help you speak?"
She said again: "If you had run away like Caiyue, so many things wouldn't have happened, you are a girl, you are so aggressive, you really need to be educated." ”
Xiaoman sneered and said hatefully: "I know that you are powerful, everyone is afraid of you and wants to slap you, so it is right for your pig to hurt people, but it is not good for people to hurt your pig, it turns out that your pig is more expensive than people." ”
Huai Xingchen said: "You don't have to be clever and sophistry here, if you are really reasonable, why do you have to lie just now?"
Xiaoman said: "Anyway, you are going to punish me today, what else do I have to explain?"
Huai Xingchen said indifferently: "It's not that I want to punish you, but that you are too unruly, so you deserve to be punished." ”
"You are the lord of the city here, whatever you say and do is right, and I am a bad boy, everything I say and do is wrong. Xiao Man picked up the Wood Spirit Sword on the ground, pointed at Huai Xingchen and said, "But I'm not convinced. ”
Caiyue was shocked, stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Man and said, "Are you crazy?
Huai Xingchen looked at Xiao Man with an unbelievable gaze and said, "You dare to point a sword at me, do you want to rebel?"
Xiaoman still held his sword and said: "I'm not trying to rebel, I'm just not convinced." ”
Huai Xingchen's gaze cooled, her wrist shook up slightly, and a blue light appeared in front of Xiao Man's eyes, Xiao Man hurriedly swung out a sword light to block, but this sword light was suddenly shattered by the blue, and the blue light hit her chest unabated, Xiao Man fell to the ground all of a sudden, and spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow".
"Xiaoman!" Caiyue suddenly pounced on her and hugged her, raised her head and begged: "City Lord, let her go, Xiaoman is just confused for a while, she didn't mean to contradict you." ”
Xiaoman pushed Caiyue away and said loudly: "I'm not confused for a while, I have long seen this unpleasant!"
"Looking for death!" Huai Xingchen's eyes flashed with a faint murderous aura, and the long sword in her hand suddenly stabbed forward, and a bit of ice-blue light flew out from the tip of the sword, pointing directly at Xiao Man's slender neck.
However, this sword light seemed to have been touched by something less than half a foot in front of Xiao Man's body, and then flew over Xiao Man's right cheek in a thrilling way.
A wisp of green silk that had been cut off by the sword fell on Xiao Man's shoulder, Xiao Man was already scared into a cold sweat at this time, this fourteen-year-old girl felt the fear of dying for the first time, she didn't realize that someone had just rescued her.
"Where is Your Excellency sacred, why don't you show up and see it?" Huai Xingchen's cold voice drifted in the soft breeze.
