"Xu Ru," Lao Hua muttered, looking at the woman's bloodless face, there was inexplicable remorse in his heart.

When the woman below heard the name, her strength gradually increased, and the look in her eyes converged in an instant.

"Ahem, the matter of Zhangjia Village... I hope there is a break," Xu Ru said softly, the hand attached to her body slowly lifted up, leaning on Lao Hua's hand on her stomach, "Please borrow your blood for a while, I think... Write a letter. ”

When Lao Hua heard this, he tore a palm-sized corner of Xu Ru's goose yellow clothes.

At the same time, he raised his right index finger and bit the hole, and blood bubbles bubbled and fell on the woman's left palm.

Xu Ru couldn't see it, and she didn't know if it was because the vitality was gradually worn out, or if the twilight of the night was too strong.

But after all, she picked up the blood and the corner of her clothes handed over by Lao Hua, dipped her index finger in the blood, and scratched the corners of her clothes.

After a while, the corners of his clothes had been scratched by Xu Ru's index finger and twisted and pinched more than a dozen words.

Xu Ru sighed, feeling the young man behind her always hugging her body.

"I fell off the list five years ago, and Lian Xiucai was not selected, Miss Liu Jiaer in the capital... It's always been a stalk in my heart that I can't let go. ”

Lao Hua frowned slightly, but he didn't interrupt Xu Ru's words.

"I lost my father when I was a child, and my mother died of overwork when I was 10 years old. ”

"It was the second lady who took me in on the street, and I was already fainting from hunger at that time. ”

"When I woke up, I was in a boudoir, and the first scene when I opened my eyes was the caring eyes of the second lady... He also held a bowl of steaming porridge in his hand. ”

Xu Ru's tone was full of sentimentality, and some tears had slipped from the corners of her eyes.

"I became a subordinate in the Liu family, and until I was fifteen years old, I voluntarily left the Liu family. ”

"I want to gain fame, I want to repay the kindness, I want to... The scenery is beautiful to marry the second miss of the Liu family. ”

"But who would have thought that I was taken by Shui Miao, who entered Beijing, and was forcibly dragged from my hut to his mansion. ”

When Xu Ru said this, his face became rarely excited, and the arrow wound in his stomach gushed blood again.

Lao Hua hurriedly pressed down, but his heart had already been turned upside down.

"I... Ahem, I beg you," Xu Ru was already hoarse, clutching the corner of her clothes in her hand, "The only thing on my body, please, entrust it to the second lady in the capital, I will live in this life... There will be no regrets. ”

Xu Ru's words gradually became smaller, and her eyes were closed by the gradually heavy eyelids.

Only the last paragraph, which I don't know who to say, opened and closed as Xu Ru's mouth opened and closed, but there was no sound.

"Thank you, really, thank you. ”

In the end, Xu Ru's hands fell suddenly, and a bloody corner of his clothes broke free and slid on the cold stone cave floor.

There was silence.

Water droplets fell from the top of the cave, and time was slowly passing.

Lao Hua was silent for a long time, Xu made a decision, hugged Xu Ru's body, and slowly walked out of the cave.

The rattling of the water curtain became clear again.

Lao Hua dripped into the water, holding Xu Ru's body and wading through the water step by step, walking.

There were more than a dozen corpses floating in the pool, and the ground at the edge of the pool was lit with countless torches.

The flames on the torches swayed in the breeze, reflecting the hundreds of immovable figures around them.

Lao Hua saw clearly ahead in the pool, in addition to the cavalry that connected the surrounding forests into an iron wall, there were four figures with a terrifying aura standing at the edge of the pool.

Flames lit up their faces on the torches.

Lao Hua saw a deep look of horror on their faces, especially after seeing the luster of his left arm full of scales, he stood still and did not move.

Lao Hua was bitter, and the corners of his mouth sobbed.

"After all... Outnumbered. ”

Lao Hua hugged Xu Ru's body and came to the front of the four figures.

Gently lying Xu Ru on the ground, Lao Hua stood quietly in front of the four of them, without moving.

The first person, the tall figure, completely covered the body of the young man in front of him.

The tall figure leaned over to look at the young man, and then at the woman on the ground, but for a moment he didn't know how to decide.

But it was the carrot behind him who came out and bent down to look at the arrow on the woman's stomach.

The carrot pursed her lips, tilted her head and said to the tall figure: "It was the county lord's men and horses who were injured by mistake, this little boy didn't do anything, stupid big man." ”

"That's enough!" roared the man known as the stupid big man, "I'm Wu Guang, one of the three major generals under the command of the Lord of Shui Miao County. ”

Carrot didn't care: "Silly big man, this young man must not be executed on the spot, maybe the corpse on the water was caused by him." ”

Wu Guang was not a calculating person, he ignored the carrot and turned his head to look at the young man.

"Follow me into the county lord's mansion, whether you live or die, he will decide. ”

Although these four people were very surprised that this young man could kill the county lord's dozen people and horses by himself, in their opinion, it was not too surprising.

The current matter is too complicated, looking at the arrow in the belly of the little concubine, it is obviously killed by mistake.

All... It's up to the county lord to decide.

Wu Guang thought about it, and saw the young man standing obediently in front of him at this time, and his heart couldn't help but settle down.

With a big move, a figure wearing heavy armor ran over more than ten meters behind him.

The boy's hands were tied behind him with a bundle of hemp rope, and he did not resist the whole time.

In view of the young man's faint deterrent power, Wu Guang did not feel at ease about leaving him in the care of others, so he lifted the young man's shirt and carried him on his shoulders.

"Go back to the city!" Wu Guang shouted at the countless cavalry behind him, and took the lead.

Carrot and the other three people followed behind Wu Guang and did not speak.

The countless cavalry standing in the forest, like flowing water, turned around and marched in one direction.

The cavalry showed great skill and turned into two torrents, making a wide enough path for the four men.

After three breaths, when the front was completely empty, the four people changed from walking to running.

But in the blink of an eye, the feet of the four of them suddenly turned into shadows, and the stones on the ground trembled.

Lao Hua felt a sudden increase in speed on his shoulders at this time, and the torches in the hands of the cavalry next to him also turned into a fire shadow, which instantly lengthened in his eyes.

Only cavalry remained in the forest at this time, and when the four of them turned into black dots and disappeared in their eyes, they also rode their horses and galloped.

There was a bang, and the pool trembled, but after a while, there was no movement in the forest.

There were only a dozen corpses in the water, floating aimlessly in the night.

......

A few hours later.

Seifu-gun, the Seifu-gun mansion in the center of the city.

Lao Hua knelt on the ground covered with cyan stone bricks and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him was a rather large hall, and in front of him was a slightly bloated man in fine clothes standing on one side of a stone table.

Dozens of people stood on either side of the man, and they didn't say anything.

Lao Hua looked down and found a woman lying on the stone table.

The woman was Xu Ru, but at this time, her body had already turned pale and her eyes were closed.

Looking closely, the woman's face was very stable, although there was no sound, but it could be seen that there were faint traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

The man in the fancy dress looked at the woman stupidly at this time, still holding a corner of his clothes in his hand.

A lot of time has passed like this.

No one in the hall spoke, only the man in the fancy dress let out a heavy sigh at this time.

"That's it, that's it," the man looked up at the kneeling boy in front of him, tired, "you... You will be a slave in my house, and you will never turn over. ”

As he spoke, the man came to the young man, and went down, looking at his strange arms covered in scales.

"Ten days later, follow my command to conquer the thieves a hundred miles away from Qingfeng County, and make a meritorious service, and you will be able to live for one more month. ”

Lao Hua saw the man's face clearly, the face of the national character was full of fine lines, the hooked nose showed the man's fierceness, and his eyes were also full of evil spirit.

Looking at his face, you can also see that he is a decisive person, but why... Lao Hua was a little confused about this punishment.

Before he had time to think about it, the man stood up again, and with a wave of his left hand, the carrot walked out of the crowd.

I saw that the carrot didn't have the hippie smile she had before, and she seemed to be very jealous of this man.

The carrot came to the young man's side, stretched out her green jade hand, and easily pinched the hemp rope tied behind the young man.

The carrot did not speak, and pulled out a brocade box from his cuff.

When it was gently opened, it was filled with blood-colored, thumb-sized Gu worms.

The carrot ripped open the cloth that covered the back of the boy's neck, and the red-powdered nails made a cut on the back of the boy's neck.

The Gu worm was pressed into the back of the boy's neck by the carrot.

But after a while, the back of the young man's neck squirmed very strangely, and it was slowly closed together.

The man waited for the carrot to finish the action and waved her back into the crowd.

"Don't escape, if you are discovered, the Gu poison on your body will spread instantly, and you will turn into a pool of blood in a few breaths. ”

As he spoke, the man walked out of the hall.

The surrounding crowd slowly followed the man out.

Wu Guang was the last, he came to the young man's side with Xu Ru's body in his arms, and smiled mysteriously at him.

Lao Hua felt extremely unreal about all this.

When he was the only one in the hall, Lao Hua slowly stood up.

By this time, the sky had seen light, and the morning light had brightened the hall.

There was a corner of clothes on the ground, and Lao Hua walked over and bent down to pick it up.

That paragraph of blood characters made Lao Hua's figure freeze, and he couldn't move for a long time.

'Revoke the tax decree as a birthday gift you owe to the slave family, okay?'
