Suddenly a sentence came to mind, the farthest distance in the world is to dig a ditch that cannot be crossed for the beloved. Holding back her tears, Zi Ning thought to herself: "What kind of beloved person is he, if he has love for me, he won't be so ruthless." ”

Think about it, the two met in Pingshui, and from now on they became strangers, what does her life and death have to do with him? But her heart has always been unwilling to be like this, perhaps because of fear, in such a dislocated time and space, the person in front of her is her only concern.

His gaze was more gentle, and he leaned down to her face and asked, "Are you scared?"

Zi Ning raised her hand to wipe her tears, quickly shook her head, and said stubbornly: "I'm not afraid, what's the big deal about death, and I'll be a good man again after sixteen years...... But I don't want to drag you down, although we haven't known each other for a long time, but you are my savior, and I can't hurt you without conscience. It's dangerous for you to continue to stay in the palace, I beg you, okay, let's go quickly......" Several black figures emerged from the rain and fog not far away, and they were quickly surrounding this side.

She stomped her feet again and again, pushed him hard with her hand, and said in a panicked tone: "You guy, don't go quickly!"

The masked man proudly puffed out his chest, smiled faintly, and said, "Don't you believe me?

He suddenly laughed and said, "I'm just weird, you care about me so much!"

"I ......" Zi Ning was suddenly embarrassed and had nothing to say. With a big smile in his eyes, he rolled up her wrist with his sleeve and rushed into a dark forest.

Two crimsons swelled up on Zi Ning's pale face, and she muttered, "You arrogant guy, who cares about you!"

But an inexplicable sweet feeling flowed into her heart, thinking: "That's right, I just like his pride, the courage that is not afraid at all, and the indifference that is as steady as Mount Tai!" She really wanted to stay and lure away the pursuers for him, but a pair of feet did not obey the call, and couldn't help but run with him, smelling a trace of light and long sandalwood on the side of her nose, and couldn't help but shake her heart and her eyes were blurred.

The masked man looked around carefully, and when he saw that no one was coming, he used his sword to open the deadbolt of a room, and with a squeak, it opened a firewood house full of dry straw.

Zi Ning was surprised, only to hear him whisper: "Hurry up, go in!" This row of old houses was surrounded by a half-person-high fence wall, and the two hid in the firewood house, and it was difficult for the chasing courtyard to find them.

The rain fell heavily and quickly drowned out their footprints. Zi Ning burrowed into the firewood room with a cat's waist, a soft warmth rushed to her face, the firewood room was piled with thick dry straw, and a few faint rays of light came in from the side of the roof, barely seeing the situation inside.

There is not much space in the firewood room, but it is more than enough for two people. The masked man covered up the weeds outside the firewood room, followed in, and closed the wooden door of the firewood room.

Suddenly, the light dimmed, Zi Ning exhaled a long breath, tired and paralyzed, lying on the dry straw and not wanting to move. Her feet cramped with pain, her heart pounded, and she gasped a few times before she found that the firewood room was unusually quiet, and only the masked man's heartbeat could be heard, and his breathing seemed to be in her ears.

The rain dripped down her forehead, and she suddenly came back to her senses, her mind cleared up, and she suddenly became nervous, thinking: "The lonely man and widow are in a small place, and they are all soaked, if they stay like this, I'm afraid something will happen!" Suddenly I felt that my cheeks were hot, my mouth was dry, and my heart was about to jump out of my cavity.

The other party's eyes looked at her, black and bright, like two twinkling cold stars. After a while, he said lightly: "It's safe here, let's hide until it gets dark, and then we can go out." As he spoke, a warm scent of sandalwood hung over her forehead and face, and she was already red to her neck, and she thought, "It's good that it's dark here, and I'd be ashamed to let him see it." ”

He stopped talking, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked again: "Are you very hot, why are you blushing!"

Zi Ning was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and hurriedly covered her face with her hands, and snorted like a mosquito: "How can I blush...... I'm just cold, probably ...... I'm sick. Her face was flushed and hot, and she felt hot all over, and she could only hide it with a few words.

The masked man pulled her hand away and tried it on her forehead, and sure enough, it was very hot, and hurriedly said, "You just suffered a sword wound and got drenched in the rain, I'm afraid you will catch the cold." Quickly take off your wet clothes and take this pill. As he spoke, he took out a small jade bottle, pulled out the cork, poured out a small dark brown pill, and put it into Zining's mouth for her to swallow.

A strong smell of herbs, Zi Ning's throat "gurgled", and she swallowed it with bitterness in her mouth. The cool feeling flowed from her throat to her stomach, she stroked her chest with her hand, and was about to speak, when she heard the masked man say, "Take off your clothes quickly." ”

"Take off ...... Undress!" Zi Ning stammered, "It's not good...... "'' heart beat even harder, and her face and neck were red like fried prawns. I thought to myself, "What did he want to do when he asked me to take off my clothes? The two of them are already so close, if I take off my clothes again, something will definitely happen!"

In the past, she was in love with Liang Ziye, and she was just holding hands, but when she was asked to take off her clothes, she immediately panicked, and she was at a loss and at a loss.

was in a panic, and suddenly saw him throw a cloth bag, and said coldly: "Put this one on." He turned his back to her.

Zi Ning was stunned, unwrapped the cloth and took a look, only to see a set of clean clothes inside, complete with inner and outer clothes, as well as a belt and a cloak.

"You...... How could it be ......" Zi Ning was surprised: "Oh, I know, you have already prepared these clothes, and this firewood room was also arranged by you in advance?"

Leaning back to her, he said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and change your clothes, don't ask so many words." The tone gradually became cold, revealing a faint and arrogant momentum.

Zi Ning didn't know what he was thinking, so she said stiffly: "If you don't ask, don't ask, this girl doesn't want to care about you." "Take off your soaked clothes and embroidered shoes, wipe the drops of water from your hair with the clean cloth wrapper, stand barefoot on the hay, and put on a set of white satin undershirts.

After being dull for a long time, the masked man said to himself: "Women are really troublesome, they talk a lot and are verbose, and they ask endlessly, and I don't know if it was right or wrong to save you at the beginning." ”

Zi Ning raised her head, glanced at his back, squinted and smiled: "Whether it's right or wrong, you've been saved anyway, can you regret it?" The undershirt was obviously men's, and it was empty on her, wide and large, and the two sleeves were half long. Zi Ning twisted the water from her semi-wet palace silk and tied it tightly around her waist, outlining her slender figure.

The white satin undershirt was soft and slippery, extremely comfortable to the skin, and when you touched the silk with your fingers, a faint smell of sandalwood wafted out. I thought to myself, "The smell on this garment is the same as the one on his body, warm and good, like his embrace." ”

Zi Ning's face was rosy again, and she looked down at her white underwear, stunned. When he changed clothes, he pulled at the injured skin, and several old and new wounds cracked, and streams of pale red blood slowly emerged, soaking the white silk clothes.

Suddenly, the masked man said, "I have something to ask you." ”

Zi Ning raised her head in shock, hurriedly squatted down, sat on the hay with her hands on her knees, shrunk into a ball, and whispered, "What's the matter?...... You can turn around. The light in the firewood room was dim, but she was still worried about going naked, so she curled up tightly together, huddled in the haystack and did not dare to move.

He turned around and looked at it, frowned and asked, "Why don't you wear a coat?" Seeing that she was wearing a thin white satin undergarment, sitting on the hay and hunching her shoulders, like a wounded rabbit, she looked even more delicate and thin.

Zi Ning's eyes flashed, she shrunk tightly, and said hesitantly: "It's enough for me to wear this one, and I'll leave that coat for you to wear." Seeing that you are also wet, you will catch a cold if you don't change your clothes......" said, and couldn't help but "yawn" and sneezed heavily.

He slowly squatted down, his eyes flashed with disbelief, stared at Zi Ning for a long time, picked up his coat and put it on her carefully, and asked, "Are you really a maid of the palace?" He became suspicious of her, this girl likes to make her own opinions, and never listens to his orders, how can such an assertive girl be an ordinary maid.

Zi Ning didn't understand what he meant, raised his neck, and said, "Of course it's true, it's like a fake!"

The masked man said lightly: "It is enough for a slave to obey the master's instructions and be diligent in his work." But you are very different, everything you do does not match the identity of the slave, and there is a mystery about you, I have to doubt. ”

He narrowed his eyes, as if staring at a dangerous prey, and said slowly: "You think about a lot of things, and you are disobedient, different from other maids. ”

Zi Ning grinned, blinked mischievously, and said with a smile: "Are you complimenting me, do you think I'm different? Think I'm special? Hehe, in fact, I think so...... too."

"Huh!"

The cold light of a long sword crossed her neck, and the smile on her face immediately froze. The masked man said in a cold voice: "Who are you? Not only do you know the thunderbolt, but you also know the meaning of the verses, how can a little girl have such ability?" The cold air of the sword blade pierced her hairs and stood on end, and she looked at him dumbfounded, only to see a cold and cruel light in his eyes.

"You ......" Zi Ning sat on the hay, only to feel her legs tremble, and thought to herself: "You know thunderbolts and know a few lines of poetry, is this also a skill?

Raised her hand and pointed at him, and said angrily: "Hey, you guy, if you say you turn your face, you will turn your face, your head cramps, isn't it!" She was full of anger and shouted: "How did I provoke you, just a joke with you, don't draw your sword to scare me." "The more I think about it, the more angry I become, I've never seen such a nasty guy, moody, cold and ruthless, I can't guess what he thinks.

The man said coldly: "Honestly, leave you a whole corpse." The blade of the sword sent forward half an inch.

Zi Ning only felt a chill in her neck, and when she heard what he said, she suddenly felt infinite grievances in her heart, tears rolled around, and she couldn't help it. ————
