Chapter 43: Wake up
"Boom ......"
In the dim night, under a thunderstorm, in a dilapidated earthen house.
The boy who had been sleeping suddenly woke up by the thunder, and beside him, the two younger sisters were the same, the older one was slightly younger than him, but twelve years old, and the youngest was only four years old, and the three of them hugged together to keep warm.
In the room, the fire was still burning, illuminating the face of the white-haired young man opposite, his brows furrowed, as if he was enduring great pain, and his breathing was steady and weak.
"Water ......"
A weak, hoarse voice fluttered as his eyelashes twitched, and the boy's eyes shuddered, and he hurried to his feet, and ran out of the house, returning with a broken bowl in his hand, filled with water.
The sound of rapid drinking and swallowing suddenly sounded, and it disappeared and rose and disappeared, and it took four times before it ended.
"Hmm. ”
In a low voice, the young man seemed to say that it was enough, and the young man put down the broken bowl.
However, at the moment when he put down the broken bowl, the young man's eyes changed in vain, and he gave his sister a look, and suddenly the two of them picked up the sharp wooden stick that was sharpened against the wall at the same time, and then looked at the few figures that gradually came out of the night.
"I really saw it, that kid picked up a person from hunting two days ago, and he also has a sword, how dare I lie to you. ”
Before the person arrived, he heard the voice coming, with a flattering tone that was really disgusting, and when he heard the content again, the young man's face had changed, and he subconsciously looked at the thing wrapped in a black cloth around the young man, and then looked at the frostbite on his hands.
Only a few steps away, with the thunder of the night sky, three figures appeared at the door of the earthen house.
The three men were dressed differently, and although two of them were ordinary, they were much better than the three children in the room and the other grovelly, but their faces were gloomy and vicious, and they looked unusually hideous in the night.
"This is it?"
The first big man spoke in a deep voice, and his tone was low, giving people a kind of oppressive force.
"Yes, yes, this is it. ”
The groveling man nodded his head in flattery.
"Look, that's not it. ”
He gestured to the lying figure in the corner.
The eyes of the other two fell on the black cloth beside the man, and looking at its long shape, they suddenly had a slight smile in their eyes.
"You are not allowed to touch him. ”
However, a childish voice suddenly made the smiles on the faces of the two stiffen.
They looked at the two children, a man and a woman, with an inexplicable and strange light in their eyes.
Seeing this, the boy's eyes suddenly showed ruthlessness, and the wooden stick in his hand stabbed it quickly, and the action was so fast that he left no room for it.
"Bang!"
It's just that it was he who flew out upside down, and his thin body slammed into the wall with a parabola across the sky.
The girl hurriedly ran over with her sister in her arms, tears in her eyes, and the three of them huddled together.
The other, a slightly thinner man, had already picked up the black cloth and walked to the big man's side.
"Hehe, just let me end up with you three poor worms. ”
The big man's eyes showed cruelty and he was just about to step.
"If you take another step, it will be your death. ”
A hoarse and cold voice suddenly sounded out of thin air, and it released a basin of cold water like a dog day, which made the three of them shudder.
It turned out that the young man in the corner had already half sat up at some point, and his calm eyes were trembling as he stared at them.
"Put my sword down. ”
As the young man spoke, the hanging white hair danced slowly, but there was no wind in the room.
"The cripple dares to talk to Lao Tzu like this. ”
The big man's eyes narrowed, and he swept the bloodstains on the young man's body, and suddenly sneered, and his figure walked over.
"It's not wrong to be weak, but it's wrong to be ignorant. ”
The young man said slowly, and his originally dim eyes slowly lit up, and at this moment, the three of them seemed to feel that two lights seemed to light up in the room, like day, bright as a sword, and sharp.
"How lonely it is on Huangquan Road, let's go together. ”
As soon as the words fell, the young man's eyes flashed, and then, the bodies of the three of them gradually stiffened, stiff as ice, and there was no injury on their bodies.
On the other side, the two children looked at this scene in a daze with their sleeping sister in their arms, and their eyes were shocked and unspeakable.
As for the young man, he fainted after looking at them, and his strong body suddenly collapsed.
......
"Ahem......"
In the dark, Liu Baiyi only felt a bitter hot current with a choking taste, and then was rudely poured into his mouth, and immediately coughed up snot and tears.
As soon as he struggled to stand up, he felt a little hurried little hand fall on his back, stroking it constantly, as if he wanted to caress away Liu Baiyi's rapid cough.
He subconsciously touched his sword, and did not let go until he felt that he was still around.
Then he turned his head to look at the rude soup man, and then he was stunned.
Those were three children with a little memory, and there were many emotions in their eyes, panic, curiosity, and anticipation.
It's just that their faces are very sallow, their bodies are thin, and their clothes are even dirty and shabby, and now the place where he sleeps is actually on the haystack in the corner.
I looked at this mud house with four walls, and looked at the roof where you could see the stars when you looked up.
"What is this place?"
Liu Baiyi took a deep breath and slowly looked at the young man, and then at his hand, where there was a frostbite.
It's just that the prolonged coma and the tragic injuries made his voice unusually hoarse, and the three children seemed to tremble when they thought of anything.
"Have you touched my sword?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"Hold your hand out. ”
He spoke again, then took the hand under the boy's silent, apprehensive gaze, dispelling the chill of autumn water in his body.
The depths of the child's eyes also lit up at this time.
It's just that what makes Liu Baiyi helpless is that the three children all looked at him blankly.
"Who is the number one master in the world?"
The three children were silent.
"Who is the emperor of the world?"
The three children were silent.
“......”
Then, Liu Baiyi was also silent.
He rubbed his forehead helplessly, feeling the injuries in his body and couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
"This is outside Xianyang City, I heard that in the Xianyang Palace, there is a person named Gai Nie who is known as the world's first swordsman, who has come out of the Ghost Valley and has never met an opponent. ”
Finally, the boy spoke, and although his tone had a strange accent, Liu Baiyi could still hear it clearly.
"Ganie?"
Liu Baiyi's hand on his forehead suddenly stiffened, and it took a long time before he slowly relaxed.
"In this way, it seems that it will not be too lonely in the future. ”
He smiled with a somewhat frail countenance, and his hand dropped and gently stroked his sword.
What shocked the two children was that the sword actually trembled slightly after Liu Baiyi's words fell, as if it had its own soul.
It wasn't until that hand fell, until that hand stroked it, that the trembling of the sword disappeared.
