Chapter 18: Entanglement

The masked man sat like a statue, his lips closed, motionless.

Zi Ning was not discouraged, rolled up the sleeves of her clothes, rubbed her hands, and muttered in a low voice: "This girl really doesn't believe in evil, I can't pry your mouth open today, I won't be called Zi Ning!" The light in the firewood room became darker and darker, and after an hour, the sound of rain outside gradually weakened, and the sky became dark.

Seeing that he was sitting quietly all the time, he could only see a hazy black shadow, like a ghost in the darkness.

After glaring at him silently for a long time, Zi Ning suddenly clapped her hands and shouted with a smile: "I guessed, you must be very ugly, and you don't want to frighten me, so you covered your face with a black cloth." Isn't that right, benefactor?" Without waiting for him to answer, he said to himself: "You don't have to worry, I'm not afraid of you being ugly, and I won't dislike you." ”

He sat upright, his body motionless, as if he hadn't heard her.

Zi Ning gritted her teeth, looked at the position of his face, and suddenly pounced forward, reaching out to grab the black cloth on his face. "Poof!" The man raised the sleeve of his left hand and flicked it, and a powerful air mass erupted, hitting Zi Ning's chest right on, she screamed "ah", her body fell backwards, and her head hit the mud wall behind her.

The masked man slowly opened his eyes and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to move again, I will kill you!" As he raised his hand, the cold and dignified long sword suddenly flashed, sticking vertically into the hay beside him, and the blade made a "clanging" sound.

He didn't use any force just now, otherwise Zi Ning would have broken two ribs.

Zi Ning rubbed the back of her sore head, screamed twice, and said angrily: "You guy is too bad, this girl never compromises, I have to fight you to the end!"

The cold wind blew in through the cracks in the wooden door, and the pain on her body made Zi Ning can't help it**, she escaped all the way, and her wrist was pinched by the masked man, which will hurt more and more.

She shook her sore wrist, and her heart suddenly warmed when she thought of the scene of the two of them in trouble. Thinking about every detail, I thought, "He's not really bad, and sometimes he's very gentle." ”

Zi Ning's eyes flowed, her eyes blinked, and she smiled mysteriously: "Benefactor, if I tell you a secret recipe that can make a more powerful thunderbolt, how can you thank me?"

The masked man's dark eyes lit up suddenly, "What secret recipe?"

Zi Ning was suddenly a little embarrassed, and thought: "Fierce ** is very simple, but you can't write a chemical formula for him." What should I do?"

After carefully sorting out his thoughts, he then smiled and said, "I said this secret recipe, and you have to agree to my small request, how about it?"

"Hmph!" the masked man said lightly, "It's asking for a name again, I won't say it." ”

Zi Ning bit her lip, turned her eyes and smiled: "I didn't ask your name, I just wanted to pull your hand, so it's always okay, right? I thought that this request should not be too much, he didn't let people look at his face, and he didn't say his name, so it was always okay to pull his hand.

Suddenly I thought of something, when the two of them ran away, he never took her hand, and always grabbed her arm tightly through a layer of clothing sleeves. Seeing that he was silent at this time, and did not agree immediately, she was a little strange, and muttered in a low voice: "Is it so difficult, is it because men and women don't kiss, and they have to be responsible for holding hands to the end?"

The masked man opened his eyes and said unbearably, "What the hell do you want to do?"

Zi Ning put his hands on his face, and said very aggrievedly: "Don't you trust me at all, I'm just a little girl, what can I do to you? You have a sword in your hand, and you're a master, and you're afraid that I will hurt you!" Then he said dissatisfiedly: "Benefactor, what kind of hero are you who doubt others like this." Tell you, suspicion is a disease, it must be cured!"

After glaring at Zi Ning for a long time, he sighed silently, and said in a soothing tone: "It's not that I don't believe you, but ......" Halfway through, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

How could he tell her those things that he had hidden in his heart? This little maid was stubborn, but she had a sincere and enthusiastic side, and she only hoped that the two would never see each other again, and that she would always live happily and not step into his world.

Zi Ning saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly remembered the history books he had read before, the men of the Jin Kingdom liked to apply honey and powder, and they dressed up like women, and it was particularly popular to split peaches and broken sleeves. Immediately slapped the door of the head hard, then pointed at him with his finger, and exclaimed: "Could it be that you are the ......?"

No wonder, when he ran away, he didn't hold hands, didn't let her look at her face, didn't tell her name, and didn't even say a word awkwardly, he must be a homosexual!

"Benefactor, you are really ......" Zi Ning suddenly looked sad, and her heart suddenly fell and fell, thinking: "If he doesn't like women and likes men, then what should I do?"

The masked man had a strange gaze, and when he saw Zi Ning shrinking in a corner, his expression seemed to be very embarrassed. He was shocked in his heart, and suddenly understood the meaning of her words, and couldn't help crying and laughing, and a helpless anger rose, and shouted: "Nonsense!"

Zi Ning waved her hand again and again, and said with a dry smile: "I understand, you don't need to say it anymore, I can understand." Wait a moment when it gets dark, I'll ...... I'll honestly go back to the second gate!"

He said coldly, "I'm not!"

Zi Ning hurriedly shook her head, and Zhengse said: "Benefactor, you don't have to explain, the world is like this, and I don't blame you...... But I really ...... I don't like broken sleeves, the man of the Great Jin Kingdom...... Is...... I ...... "I don't know what to say, my attitude is clearly discriminating against him, I'm really afraid that he will misunderstand."

He snorted coldly, "You don't believe me?" His stomach was full of anger, the joints of his hands turned white, and his brows furrowed.

Zi Ning waved her hands, opened her eyes wide, tried her best to be sincere, and said: "I believe, I believe, you must not be excited, and you must not have psychological pressure......" As she spoke, she clasped her knees with her hands and curled back, staring at the hazy shadow in the dark, feeling numb and uncomfortable.

The hero in her mind, because of the broken sleeve, suddenly changed his appearance, and his image plummeted and was greatly reduced.

In the dark, the man's chest rose and fell, and Zi Ning saw that he was emotionally unstable, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "I'll tell you the secret recipe for thunderbolts." Glycerin is refined by adding salt to lard and caustic soda, nitric acid is made by dry distillation of saltpeter, and sulfuric acid is made by calcining alum. Then treat glycerin with nitric acid and sulfuric acid to get a yellow, transparent oil, and that thing is called **. If you find a way to half-freeze **, you can make a bomb, and when it encounters impact friction, it will burn and explode, and the power will be a hundred times stronger than that of a thunderbolt!" she said a bunch of words like a cannonball, not knowing if he could understand it.

Suddenly, he heard a sneer in the dark, and as soon as the man raised his hand, he tore off the black cloth covering his face with a "swish", threw himself forward, pressed her shoulders with both hands, and threw her whole body into the hay.

A warm and elegant sandalwood fragrance hit her face, and in the dark environment where she couldn't see her fingers, Zi Ning vaguely saw a pair of dark and shiny eyes, a hazy and angular face, and a slight smile. She was horrified and said, "You...... What are you going to do......" Suddenly Sandalwood approached, and her hot lips kissed her mouth.

Zi Ning's brain exploded with a "boom", "En...... The human ...... "fell into his kiss with all his heart in an instant, and he could barely breathe, all the sadness, doubt, timidity, shyness, pain, and fear...... All of a sudden, they all disappeared without a trace.

The warm bodies of the two were huddled together, her slightly wet hair was messy, her snort was slightly open, and the smell of hay mixed with the sandalwood on his body had a rich warmth. He muttered in a low voice, "You little girl, you don't even believe me!" and his lips kissed her again, and there was a deep sweetness.

In just a few seconds, as long as the whole century, Zi Ning felt as if she was lying in a pile of cotton, her whole body was fluttering, and her heart was pounding, it turned out that this was the taste of love...... With him by his side, it doesn't seem to matter anymore.

When he propped himself up with one hand and gasped heavily, Zi Ning's hands trembled slightly, covering his chest and panting, only to feel like a gossamer, and his eyes were also in a trance.

He frowned deeply and asked in surprise, "You have so many wounds on your body?" Her shoulders were covered with scars, and he touched the soft and delicate shoulders through the soft satin clothes, and the cracks were all over the place. His firm and steady hands trembled slightly, and her fingertips strained slightly, and her body temperature suddenly rose.

"Shhh

Zi Ning gasped in pain, her neck leaned back, "Don't touch, it hurts......" The white satin clothes were soaked in patches of pale red blood, she couldn't help but turn her head to the side, her hands tightened, and her body wrapped tightly in a cloak, like a frightened and injured little beast.

He breathed heavily, gently hugged her into his arms, raised his hand to brush away the broken hair on her face, and reproached: "There is so much blood, why don't you say it?" The two breaths were close at hand, his eyes pierced through the dense dark mist, and he looked intently, and saw two blush flying on her fair face, her eyes were like autumn water, her cherry lips were red, and her sideburns were like clouds.

A wonderful feeling that he had never felt before floated in his heart, a soft and lingering affection that made a heart vibrate.

Zi Ning blushed, a little shy, and asked casually, "What do you see? I can't see your face clearly, can you see me clearly?"

He nodded, "I can see you, blushing like a monkey's ass." The underwear he wore was so thin, he could see everything!"

Zi Ning's face turned black and red, ashamed and angry, and hurriedly wrapped his cloak around his chest, and said angrily: "You can see it a long time ago, aren't you, why didn't you tell me?"

The man's eyes flashed, and he pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "You didn't ask me, why did I tell you?" put his arms around her delicate body that was getting hot, only to feel that his heart was beating more and more, and there was an irrepressible emotion surging into his heart. The hand holding the wound medicine bottle couldn't help but clench, hesitated for a moment, stuffed the medicine bottle into her hand, pushed her away with both hands, and said coldly: "You apply it yourself." ”

Zi Ning was so painful that she let out an "oops", her body fell to the side, she couldn't help but turn her head to stare at him, threw the medicine bottle in her hand hard, smashed it on him, and shouted: "You villain, not a good person...... "The first kiss just now was inexplicably taken away by him, and he looked at it again, and her heart was like a five-flavor bottle overturned, just half lying in his arms for a moment, just endless warm joy, and an indescribable sense of security, which made her lose herself in an instant.

But she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he changed as if he was a person, and the moment he pushed her away, it was like a sharp and cold knife stabbing into his chest. Zi Ning held back her tears, gritted her teeth, and waved her broken fists with both hands, "Bang Bang" desperately slammed on his chest, "You villain, villain!"

"You have a wound on your body, don't move!" he shouted a little angrily, seeing that Zi Ning's clothes were oozing blood, his lips were pursed, and his clear eyes seemed to be overflowing with tears, painful and aggrieved. His heart trembled, and he grabbed her wrist hard, his eyes fixed on her, "Zi Ning, I'm sorry." ”

Raising his hand to point at the sleeping point on the back of her neck, Zi Ning's body softened, her eyes closed, and she fell into his open arms with a "bang".

The drizzle outside the firewood room first stopped, and the water droplets on the branches and leaves fell, making a dripping "crackling" sound. He quietly hugged Zi Ning's soft and boneless body, his fingers gently brushed her messy sideburns, brushed along the center of his eyebrows to her lips, pecked lightly, and muttered in his mouth: "Zi Ning, how are you making me a good ......————
