Chapter 17: First Encounter
Didn't get more useful information from the four people, and after continuing to wait for half an hour, seeing that the four of them also began to sit cross-legged, Liang Yi left this place with his feet, and in less than a stick of incense, Liang Yi returned to the inn in the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the early morning of the next day, Liang Yi left the guest room early, left Zipei City, and set foot on the official road to the north.
After walking a few miles, Liang Yi cut to the mountain road and walked straight north, so that it would be faster to get to the next town.
There are dozens of miles to go to the next town, at this moment Liang Yi came to the foot of a mountain called Wuyangling, the mountain road is broken here, the road ahead has been deserted, according to the people in Zipei City, there is a group of bandits on the Wuyang Ridge who are rampant, often robbing passers-by of the property, over time, no one dares to take the relatively fast mountain road, but despite this, the gang of bandits will still go to the official road from time to time to block the road and rob, the bandits are many and powerful, and the local government has no way to take them, and they can only turn a blind eye to the behavior of the bandits。
Liang Yi naturally doesn't care about the bandits, he only cares about the speed of the journey, if the bandits dare to come to the door to send them to death, they will kill them with a sword, he is no longer the immature boy he was at the beginning.
Looking up at the barren and grassy mountain road in front of him, there were even some places that were blocked by collapsed rocks, Liang Yi carried Qingcheng with the burden behind him and fastened it, holding two black stone gourds in his hands, and then walked forward.
There was a boulder in front of him, Liang Yi jumped lightly, and then continued to move forward, some unknown beetles would pop out of the grass from time to time, Liang Yi didn't care.
About half an hour later, Liang Yi came to a stream, along the stream to the north is a barren stone road, on one side of the road is a cliff more than ten feet high.
Unknown herbs can be seen growing in the crevices of the cliffs, and in March, although there are not many, there are still some small flowers blooming on the cliffs.
Liang Yi looked up at the top of the cliff, where was the top of Wuyang Ridge.
Liang Yi didn't pay too much attention to what the people who passed through Zipei City said about the bandits in Wuyangling, he retracted his gaze, and was just about to take a step, but he suddenly heard a noise from above.
"Little girl, you continue to run away, hehe, there's no way, I'll see where you run now!" On the cliff, several fierce-looking men held sharp knives in their hands, surrounded a little girl, and approached step by step.
The little girl looks very delicate and cute, looking about seven or eight years old, wearing a patched shabby cloth dress, carrying a burlap bag in her arms, which also contains some freshly picked herbs, the little girl is dirty, looking at the vicious people in front of her at this moment, tears welling up in her watery eyes.
"Don't kill Xue'er, Xue'er is just here to collect medicine, my mother's illness is getting worse and worse, and I'm still waiting for Xue'er to bring the medicine back, please, let Xue'er go......" The little girl's delicate cheeks were blurred by tears, and her eyes were still pouring out tears, looking at the people approaching step by step in front of her, she moved her steps back in fear, and unconsciously came to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly stepped on the gravel under her feet, and the little girl hurriedly stood up, looked down at the cliff behind her, and was suddenly frightened.
"Hehe, little sister, how can my brothers be willing to kill you, you look so standard, why do you have to play for a few days and nights before selling it, we are reluctant to kill you." Everyone looked at the little girl's eyes full of obscene light, their tongues licked the corners of their mouths, staring at the little girl's delicate face, the greed and lust on the face were undisguised, and as they spoke, they took a few steps closer.
"Don't come here, or ... Otherwise, I'll jump down from here......" Looking at the people who were getting closer and closer to her, the little girl's face was even more frightened, and her little face was pale and her voice trembled.
"Jump, jump if you're not afraid of death, a few brothers look, hehe, don't have that guts, obediently follow the ......" A few people saw that the little girl was becoming more and more afraid, the obscene smile on their faces became more and more intense, they shook the sharp knife in their hands, and said with a sneer, but before the words were finished, they were stunned, and their expressions suddenly froze.
I saw that the little girl suddenly closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and then leaned back, and actually jumped down!
Liang Yi just happened to hear a voice coming from above his head, and the steps he wanted to take stopped at the moment, and he raised his head again to look at the cliff, with a strange look on his face.
"I thought that the bandit or something was really here, it was really a coincidence......"
Thinking like this in his heart, Liang Yi's eyes suddenly condensed when he looked at the cliff, and he saw a black shadow falling from the cliff, to be precise, it was a person, a little girl!
If you fall down a cliff of more than ten feet, ten lives are not enough to die!
At that moment, Liang Yi put down the stone gourd in his hand, untied the burden tied to his body, and then shouted.
"Qingluo, go up and hold her for a while!"
Xia Xixue closed her eyes the moment she jumped off the cliff, her heart was filled with despair, and a touch of sadness crossed her cheeks blurred by tears.
"Mother, Xue'er can't be with you anymore, Xue'er is going to die...... Xue'er doesn't want to die, Xue'er can't bear to ...... mother"
The cliff more than ten zhang high fell, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to fall to the ground, the wind whistled in his ears, and a crystal tear crossed the corner of his eye, just when Xia Xixue was completely desperate in her heart, she suddenly felt that something was supporting her back, and the speed of decline also dropped sharply, and then, it seemed to fall into a warm embrace.
"I... Didn't you die......" didn't feel the pain of death, Xia Xixue felt an incredible feeling in her heart, bathed in the warmth of someone's arms, Xia Xixue slowly opened her closed eyes, but her expression was suddenly sluggish.
It's beautiful......
A handsome young man's face......
There was a slight indifference on his handsome but not demonic face, and he looked up to reveal a delicate and perfect side face.
The breeze gently blows the black hair, and two black headbands are hidden between the black hair, dancing with a sense of elegance with the wind.
The slight frown between the young man's head and the indifference on his face complemented each other, making Xia Xixue look obsessed.
It's beautiful......
"When do you want to see it?" Liang Yi's faint words came, and he suddenly woke up Xia Xixue, who had lost her mind, and the latter's delicate little face turned red with shame.
was made a little blushing by the shyness of the girl in his arms, Liang Yi was also a little embarrassed at the moment, coughed lightly, and hurriedly put the little girl out of his arms.
"Xue'er, thank you for saving your life... By the way, Childe, run away, if those thieves catch up, they won't be able to run away......" Although she wondered how the other party saved her from falling from such a height, Xia Xixue said thank you to Liang Yi with a red face, and then seemed to suddenly remember the urgent matter at the moment, her face became nervous again, and she said in a very frightened voice in her eyes.
"Why do you want to escape?" Liang Yi turned his gaze to Xia Xixue in front of him when he heard this, his slightly frowning brows relaxed, smiled slightly, and said indifferently.
"Childe, those thieves are very fierce, they still have knives in their hands, and they are going to kill people at every turn, Childe, let's run away. Xia Xixue's face showed an eager look on her face, and she persuaded her, especially when she saw that the previous bandits were coming down the path on the side, her face suddenly turned pale, and her expression became very frightened again.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, I haven't taken it seriously yet, if you dare to provoke me, kill me. With a faint smile, Liang Yi's face was extremely calm, and when his eyes swept away, he also saw the few bandits who had already gone down the path not far away and were coming this way, and Liang Yi's eyes crossed a touch of disdain.
The slightly bloody words slowly came out of Liang Yi's mouth, but there was no sense of disobedience in Xia Xixue's ears, which made him feel a little relieved inexplicably.
As if as long as he is around, there will be absolutely no trouble!
The two of them stayed where they were, and the bandits not far away were gradually approaching, and within a moment, they were in front of them.
"Falling so high, you... He didn't die?...... Who are you this stinky boy over here?" Seeing that Xia Xixue not only did not fall to her death, but there was not even a trace of scar on her body, everyone was shocked, slowly came back to their senses, and swept their eyes to Liang Yi on the side with a hint of surprise on their faces.
With a touch of disdain in his eyes, Liang Yi did not respond to everyone, but instead cast a reassuring look at Xia Xixue, who was trembling slightly with fear, and smiled slightly, holding the scabbard in his left hand, and slowly pressing his right hand on the hilt of Qingluo's sword, his hand trembled slightly, but he saw a faint and blurry cold light with a hint of coldness flashing instantly.
The palm of his hand slowly released the hilt of the sword, Liang Yi's eyes showed indifference, and a flat voice slowly came out of his mouth.
"It's just a few miscellaneous fish characters, and they don't have the qualifications to know who I am. ”
As soon as the voice fell, the group of thieves in front of him suddenly fell straight to the ground, everyone's expressions were completely condensed, and a trace of extremely fine blood lines appeared in their throats.
Several bandits fell to the ground motionless, without a snort and pulse, and had become corpses!
The fear on Xia Xixue's little face has not yet dissipated, but at this moment, she is suddenly sluggish!
She hadn't seen anything, she hadn't reacted to anything, and the bandits in front of her had suddenly died, becoming several corpses, and what happened at this moment made her unbelievable.
The fear in her eyes did not dissipate, Xia Xixue stepped forward lightly, squatted down to probe her nose one by one, the disbelief on her face became more and more intense, these bandits were really dead.
Looking at Liang Yi, who squatted down and began to pack up her baggage, the fear in Xia Xixue's expression slowly dissipated, and the handsome young man in front of her gave her a full sense of security, as if as long as she stayed by his side, she would be reassured.
Quietly looking at Liang Yi who was packing up, a faint blush suddenly appeared on Xia Xixue's delicate little face, and there was a little strange color in her eyes, and she was obsessed again.
"By the way, what's your name?"
“... Oh, Xia Xixue ......"
At this moment, she was a little moved......
