As soon as the day dawned, he opened his eyes peacefully, and Narcissus was lying on the side of the bed sleeping soundly, watching quietly, in a trance, is this what relatives feel? I don't know how his parents are now? Do I have any brothers and sisters? Will there ever be a woman who lay on the side of the bed and waited all night when he was sick? He didn't know any of this, he only knew that the woman in front of him took care of him like this.

Narcissus blinked, and her good-looking eyes also opened, but she just woke up and was still a little confused, and when she woke up, she found that Ping An was looking at her motionlessly, she hurriedly brushed her messy hair, wiped a little saliva from the corner of her mouth, and said angrily: "Don't call me when you wake up, you want to see me ugly, right?" Ping An hippie smiled and said: "It's not ugly at all, sister, you are so good-looking." Narcissus glared at Ping An without any lethal power, got up and said, "The injury is not healed yet, and I will start to learn to be flamboyant, and I will cook for you." Ping'an looked at the woman and said: "I'm not flamboyant at all, I'm telling the truth, anyway, my sister is a good-looking woman I've seen." The corners of Narcissus's mouth hooked, and his footsteps did not stop: "That's because my sister is the first woman you have seen, if you go down the mountain, you will know that there are many people outside who are better looking than your sister, and then you will be annoyed by me." ”

When Narcissus walked in with porridge and vegetables, Ping An had already sat up with his back against the pillow, and Narcissus hurriedly said: "What are you doing, lie down, why do you get up before this injury is healed." Ping An said angrily: "Sister, I'm not so squeamish, today I can eat by myself, after eating I have to get out of bed to go to activities, I haven't stepped on the ground for so many days, and my bones are rusty." Narcissus looked at Ping An with some confusion and asked, "Is it really okay to sit up, the wound doesn't hurt?" Ping An nodded affirmatively, "It's really okay, I feel much better today." Narcissus gave him a blank look and said stiffly, "It's okay to sit up, but I still want me to feed you breakfast." As soon as Ping An wanted to refuse, he heard Narcissus whisper, "I'll feed you one last time." Ping An had no choice but to agree.

Narcissus gently fed Ping'an spoonful of porridge, Ping'an ate it in a big gulp, and the two of them ate breakfast silently, Ping'an suddenly said: "Sister, tonight I will sleep on the floor, and you will sleep on the bed." Narcissus shook his head and said, "No, your body is not well, and the ground is too cold." Ping An pouted and said: "The bed is too small, I can't turn over, so let me sleep on the ground." Narcissus compromised: "That's okay, I'll let you try, and if you're uncomfortable, feel free to let me know." Ping An smiled and nodded again and again.

In Yang Village, ten miles away from Dayu Village, several middle-aged men sat in a secluded hut, eating mutton in full swing, and several people did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

The small-eyed man was the first to break the silence, and said with some doubts: "I said Fat Chen, although this mutton tastes good, it won't make us rush over, right?"

The fat man surnamed Chen shook his head and said calmly: "I won't be so ignorant no matter how ignorant I am, in fact, this time I called my brothers over to discuss what to do about this matter?"

A man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist pulled his throat and said: "What else can I do, continue to look for it, turn Qingzhou upside down and find out that person, I said Chen Fatzi, you love to think around, you have nothing to do, what can you discuss with such a simple question, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." After saying that, he got up and was about to leave, but the small-eyed man next to him stretched out his hand to stop him, "Alas, Brother Liu Yuan, don't be in a hurry to go first, see what Fat Chen has to say." ”

Liu Yuan looked back at Fat Chen, the fat man motioned for him to sit down first, Liu Yuan muttered in his mouth: "Then give Brother Wang Shun a face, and see what tricks you have as a dead fat man." The fat man smiled: "Brother Liu, do you know what day it is." Liu Yuan said impatiently: "It doesn't matter what day you have, if you say it or not, Lao Tzu will beat you up." Wang Shun glanced at Fat Chen and said softly: "Today is the ninth day of the fifth month. ”

Fat Chen cleared his throat: "On the ninth day of the first month, there are still three days before we make a difference, if we still can't find that person or that person's body after three days, we all know what the fate will be." Liu Yuan and Wang Shun didn't speak, this matter was like a mountain pressing on their chests, but no one dared to break it easily, and now Chen Fatzi opened his mouth and put that matter on the table, and the two of them could no longer pretend to be out of the matter.

Fat Chen said in a deep voice: "There is going to be a way out." Wang Shun's eyelids couldn't help but tremble, and Liu Yuan couldn't help but ask: "What's the way out, Chen Fatzi, don't sell Guanzi." Chen Fatzi beckoned, the heads of the three people came together, Chen Fatzi whispered something, Liu Yuan Wang Shun's face changed drastically, Liu Yuan objected nervously: "This is not good, if this is discovered by the general, we can't eat and walk around." Wang Shun sat on the side, his face was cloudy, and he seemed to be weighing, and Chen Fatzi chewed the mutton calmly and did not make a sound.

Liu Yuan was a little anxious when he saw that the two of them didn't speak, and hesitated: "Do you really want to do this? There is no other way? Or let's look for it again, maybe it will be floating somewhere on the river." Chen Fatzi pouted and said: "I advise you to still die this heart, my brother has been looking for half a month without eating or drinking, and I can't wait to dig three feet into the ground, but I haven't found it yet, I was either eaten by a fish or drifted to the ends of the earth, Brother Liu, the way I told you is the only way out, if you are lucky and no one leaks the news, your brothers will be able to drink and eat meat together in the future." After a while, Wang Shuncai took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Damn, both horizontal and vertical are dead, and I'm done." Liu Shun gritted his teeth, "Brother Wang agreed, then count me in, damn it." Chen Fatzi saw that the two of them agreed, and he was relieved, if they didn't agree, he really didn't know what to do, after all, this kind of head-killing thing is not a joke.

Liu Shun said anxiously: "Fat Chen, how to do this thing specifically, what are your plans?" Wang Shun also looked at him with some expectation, and Chen Fatzi asked: "First of all, we have to go to the surrounding villages to find a young man who drowned about ten days ago, Brother Wang, you have done fast hunting before, you should know how to do something on the corpse, everything is done by the three of us personally, no fourth person can know, and then the three of us brothers will play a good show, if the performance is good, our brothers can not only live well, but also be promoted and rich." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Four days later, in the middle of the night, the soldiers under the command of Chen Erzhu, the captain of the black armor, found the long-pursued imperial court criminal on a reef on the shore of the lower reaches of the Guangling River, but the man was blue, his face was blurred, and he was obviously dead for more than a day or two.

In the mountains behind Dayu Village, a man squatted in a secluded mountain col, his face was filled with a comfortable sour expression, and after a long time, the man stretched his waist with satisfaction.

The man who was intoxicated was Ping'an, he took a deep breath, he wanted to breathe in some fresh air, but he smelled a strange smell, he wrinkled his nose and said to himself: "Comfortable is comfortable, but this smell, I estimate that it can be transmitted ten miles away." ”

Ping'an walked away, and only stopped and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure he didn't smell anything, he looked at the small courtyard of the wooden house in the distance, and his heart was filled with helplessness.

Half an hour ago, Ping An was feeling the sun in the yard, he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, Ping An felt that his body was a little moldy, he suddenly saw Narcissus carrying several buckets of hot water from the kitchen to the back room, Ping An asked, "Sister, do you want to take a bath?" Narcissus glanced at Ping An, "It's been half a month, and your body is rancid, finally you can walk alone, today I want to wash well." Ping'an was a little excited, and said with a smile: "Sister, you see that I am also rancid, otherwise, let's go together." Narcissus smiled, hooked her fingers slightly, turned and went into the back room.

Ping An looked at the woman's slender back and swallowed his saliva, only to feel that happiness came too suddenly, he quickly took off his coat and ran quickly into the house, the action was so fast that he didn't look like a patient who was not injured at all, just arrived at the door, but the door slammed shut, Ping An couldn't avoid it and hit it solidly, and his head hurt a little, Ping An said with a shy face: "Sister, why close the door, you open the door, I can also help you rub your back, my back rubbing technique is good." The woman in the house smiled and said: "Open the door, you think it is beautiful, you think I don't know what you think, don't lie on the window, go out for a while, don't be too far away, I'll call you after washing." Ping An was a little unrelenting: "Sister, I really just rubbed my back, I didn't think about anything else." A menacing voice came from the room: "Get out." ”

So, Ping An was kicked out, and Ping An secretly slandered himself, he just thought that it would be more water-saving to wash together, and he could also help Sister Narcissus rub her back, and Sister Narcissus didn't need such a good free labor, it was a pity. Ping An sighed for a long time, and he didn't know how long Sister Narcissus would have to wash, alas, it was really pitiful to stay alone in the deep mountains, Ping An was a little bored, and was thinking about what to have fun with, but he heard a thunderous howl from the mountains and forests deep in the mountains, and the sound was particularly miserable and fierce, Ping An paused for a moment, looked back at the direction of the wooden house, and said to himself: "Just go and see, it doesn't matter." He folded a twig and took it in his hand and walked deeper into the mountain.

The mountain road is getting more and more difficult to walk, and in the end there is basically no road, all dense woods, Ping An is a little discouraged, just want to turn back, the roar sounded again, as if it was not very far from him, Ping An touched his chest with a faint pain, he gritted his teeth, and continued to stagger, walking through the dense mountain forest, this time it didn't take long to walk, he felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and then he saw a treacherous scene, this piece of mountains and forests were all broken, revealing a large piece of empty land, the ground was full of blood and some scattered fragments of scale armor, a huge beast that could not be named lay on the ground convulsions, dyingIn the distance, there was a man in a black cloak lying on the ground, unknown whether he was alive or dead.

Ping'an tightened the branch in his hand, and walked towards the man on the ground with courage, and walked in and found that it was a thin old man, the old man's eyes were angry, and his face was painful.

Ping An turned his head to look at the huge beast again, a sharp armor thorn, more than two feet long, covered with scars, and some broken scale armor scattered on the ground, Ping An then understood, the man in black probably just had a fight with this giant beast, unfortunately killed by the giant beast, but then again, this behemoth can be beaten to death, the thin old man is still very powerful, he noticed that the giant beast was badly injured, the snort only went in and out but did not fit the eyes, Ping An was a little puzzled and looked closer, only then did he notice that the belly of the giant beast was agitating, Ping An was surprised: "Could it be that a baby beast is about to be born?"

Ping An looked around, and saw a strange long sword near the old man in black, and immediately took it, Ping An made a serious gesture towards the giant beast, pretending: "I'm here to save your child, if you understand, don't bite me, Amitabha." After that, he held the long sword and stretched out to the belly of the giant beast, the skin of the giant beast was as hard as iron, fortunately in this long sword was extremely sharp, Ping An used the strength to eat milk to cut the belly of the giant beast, the giant beast turned its head to look at the abdomen with difficulty, as if he wanted to see the birth of the child before he was willing to close his eyes, Ping An shook off the long sword, and fished out a small and delicate cub from the blood hole, he gently touched it with his hand, the cub's hard phosphorus thorn cut his hand several times, Ping An was a little shocked by the sharpness of the cub's scale armor, he put the cub in front of the head of the giant beast, the giant beast saw that the little beast was still alive, whimpered, and slowly closed his eyes。

As soon as the giant beast died, the cub opened his eyes, and at a glance saw the mother lying in a pool of blood in front of him, a little demented, Ping An was a little unbearable, regardless of the pain in the palm, gently hugged the cub, the cub looked up at Ping An, stretched out his little tongue and licked the blood on Ping An's palm, and snuggled affectionately on Ping An's hand, Ping An looked at Huan Huan, and didn't care about the cub's phosphorus thorn and cut his palm a few times, he gently put the cub on the ground, the cub began to twist its body, as if it wanted to stand up, Ping An hesitated, walked to the old man's side, and sighed: "I don't know if you're good or bad, people are dead, the lights go out, you can go with peace of mind. So he reached out and helped the old man close his eyes.

Ping'an stood up and was about to turn around and felt inappropriate, since the old man was dead, why didn't he see what valuable things he had on him, if he didn't take it for nothing, he should be rewarded for helping him close his eyes, Ping'an thought while comforting himself, while reaching out and groping in the old man's arms, and finally found a worn-out ancient book after a long time, and the joy of peace almost jumped up.

I remembered a legendary story in the martial arts that Sister Narcissus told him not long ago, saying that there was an ordinary wood-chopping farmer who accidentally picked up a sword book, which recorded the most profound swordsmanship secrets in the world, the farmer went down the mountain after 20 years of painstaking study, and was a blockbuster when he first entered the rivers and lakes, and later won several top swordsmen who had been famous for a long time on the rivers and lakes, and was regarded as a kendo master, and finally became famous in the world, and the swordsman who was nearly fifty years old also became a model for the world's sword warriors. The farmer has been in the mountains for twenty years and is not crazy or something like a boring question, the story is the story, there is no point in deliberately nitpicking, Ping An feels that the story is mostly true, but it is unknown how much water there is, Ping An looked at the book in his hand and was a little trance-like, will he practice this cheats and become a top master?

Ping An thought about it for a long time, and then he wiped his hand on his clothes and turned over the book with some excitement, but he roughly flipped it twice, recording some sword moves and annotations, but the interlaced lines were like a mountain, he as a layman, he looked a little difficult, Ping An carefully stuffed the book into his arms, and muttered: "Such a poor and sour old man, he didn't bring any silver when he went out, but fortunately there was a sword book, which was better than nothing." ”

Ping An turned to look at the cub, his mouth couldn't help but open, he was very surprised, only to see that the cub had landed on all fours, although it was shaky, but this little guy was born not long ago, it seems that this unknown little beast is stronger than the foal, Ping An looked at the sky, remembered that Narcissus was still waiting for him to go back in the hut, and then picked up the cub in one hand, and picked up the strange sharp sword on the ground with the other, ready to leave this place, when passing by the old man, he felt his fingers move, and he touched the old man's nostrils again, no breath, is he dazzledPing An shook his head, his body was still too weak, and he was hallucinating.

Ping An walked along the road he came for a while, suddenly felt dizzy, and hurriedly used his long sword to support the ground before he could barely stand firm, he fixed his eyes and saw that the clothes on his chest were stained red with blood at some point, it seemed that the wound was cracked, and Ping An said to himself weakly: "Now it's too big to play, I can't walk anymore, I really want to lie down and sleep, is it that my road to fame as a peerless master is about to end before it begins, and I will die in this barren mountain and wilderness?" The cub arched Ping'an's arm with his head, Ping'an shook his head to sober up, he forcibly gritted his teeth and said, "I can't fall down, I have to go back to find Sister Narcissus." He walked forward with difficulty holding the long sword, and he didn't know how long he walked, his legs were weak, and he felt that the sky was spinning and he fell, and before he fell down, he vaguely saw a woman with pear blossoms and rain, and the woman was anxiously shouting something, but he couldn't hear anything, he muttered: "Narcissus." And his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

The woman is Narcissus, she comfortably took a bath and changed her clothes and went out of the house but did not see Ping'an, so she shouted everywhere and no one responded, after a long time, Ping An has not returned, Narcissus is a little anxious at the moment, so she followed the path behind the wooden house to the depths of the mountain, while shouting and looking, seeing that the mountain road is about to come to the end, Narcissus finally saw peace, but the scene in front of her made her almost dizzy, only to see the man's chest and hands blood-red, holding a strange long sword in his hand, and a scarlet strange little beast snuggled next to his body, fortunately, she is also a woman with a strong mind, and wiped the tears on her face at the moment, quickly tore off the clothes on the cuffs, covered the man's chest, Narcissus picked up the man with some difficulty, and slowly walked back.

The scarlet beast also followed two steps, suddenly stopped, tilted its head and thought about it, turned around and walked to the long sword and sniffed it, opened its mouth and bit the hilt of the sword, but it was going to take the long sword with him, but fortunately, the pace of the narcissus was very slow, and the little beast dragged the long sword and did not pull it too far.

A weak woman carried an unconscious man on her back, and an eccentric cub held a strange long sword, and the two of them, a beast and a sword, staggered forward in the deep uninhabited mountains.
