Chapter 5 There is a thief's courage but no thief's heart

The night was deep, the curtain of countless dark nights seemed to be freed from endless scrolls, and the whole world was shrouded in infinite silence, and a young man stood a little dazed between the empty heaven and earth, he looked around but could not see his fingers pitch black, and he did not know what place it was.

The man was a little frightened, he felt as if the endless nothingness was going to devour him, and he couldn't help but cry out, "Is there anyone? After shouting several times in succession, no one responded.

The man groped his way forward, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, and in this silent world it resounded in the sky like thunder, and the man subconsciously looked back, and saw a few torches with orange flames, and under the light of the flames, he saw a group of men riding tall horses, one of the men turned over and dismounted, walked straight to the man, and drew the long knife at his waist.

The man looked at the man who drew the knife, the man was seven feet tall, majestic, but there was an indescribable weirdness all over his body, he looked at it carefully and suddenly couldn't help but feel cold all over his body, the man with the knife had no face, the man couldn't help but retreat, his hands in front of him, and hurriedly said: "Who are you, what are you going to do?" I don't know you, don't come here." The man with the long knife reminded, "There is a cliff behind you, so you'd better not move." ”

The man turned his head slightly, and saw that the black nothingness was driven away by the flames, and he really found that one step away from him was a black cliff, and his scalp was numb at the moment, and he didn't dare to move anymore.

The man approached with a long knife and said softly, "Yes, don't move, I just want to cut off your head, soon." The young man almost cried: "What do you want my head for, do you recognize the wrong person?" The man sighed: "If you want to blame, blame your bad life." Then he stopped talking, and walked over step by step, and the long knife rubbed a spark on the ground, and the young man did not know where to get the courage, and jumped into the cliff with his eyes closed.

The man with the knife obviously didn't expect him to really dare to jump, so he grabbed it with his hand, but he caught it empty.

The man fell down in the air, fell for a long time or did not touch the ground, the man thought in his heart, the cliff is really ten thousand, if he falls to the ground, most of them will become a ball of paste, until he thinks a little sleepy he heard a pop, the man is a little confused thinking, is this the sound of himself becoming a paste, and then he vaguely saw a huge turtle swimming towards him, the turtle on the back of the turtle shell is two feet, the four claws are like a sharp blade, the man then found that he fell in the water, the turtle around him twice, suddenly opened the blood basin mouth and bit his neck。

"Ahh

A woman came over when she heard the voice, gently wiped the sweat beads from the man's forehead, and comforted her softly: "Is it a nightmare? It's okay, it's good to wake up from the dream." The man looked around and didn't see the big turtle with fangs, but lay on the familiar bed, and muttered, "Sister Narcissus, are you sure I was really rescued by a big turtle?"

The woman sighed: "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly." ”

The man shook his head and said weakly: "It's nothing, Sister Narcissus, why am I lying on the bed again, didn't I say that I slept on the ground." ”

Narcissus stood in front of the bed with his hands on his hips, and said angrily: "Sleep on the ground, next time you sleep directly in the coffin, don't get up, you won't take care of yourself at all, recklessly, say, what did you do in the mountains?"

The woman's face was covered with a layer of frost, and she knocked the door of the man's head, ignoring Ping'an's crooked interpretation of right and wrong, and sneered: "And then you made a bloody mess? Didn't I tell you that I was too far away?"

Ping An hippie smiled and said: "Sister, it was an accident, I can explain it, you see that I am not good now, you said that I will have a blessing after I don't die, and I won't hang up before I enjoy it." ”

Narcissus snorted and said angrily: "Don't laugh, this time it's your luck, I found you by mistake, who will save you next time I'm not there?" Ping'an sneered: "Sister, then wouldn't it be good for you to stay with me for the rest of your life?" Narcissus snorted and said coldly: "Who wants to stay with you for the rest of your life." Ping An said softly: "Okay, okay, sister, I know it's wrong, don't be so reckless next time." Narcissus turned away from the man on the bed.

Ping An looked at the narcissus with a layer of mist in the corner of his eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Sister, come and hug you." Originally, it was just a joke, but Narcissus really leaned over and hugged Ping An tightly, Ping An was a little caught off guard, and he didn't know where to put his two hands, Narcissus whispered: "Ping'an, your life is not one person, do you know." Ping An nodded, and gently patted the woman's back with both hands.

Ping'an held the woman's shoulders with both hands, looked at her gently, and said intoxicatedly: "Sister, you are so fragrant." Another sturdy chestnut, Ping'an covered his head, with a painful face, Narcissus scolded with a smile: "Let you talk too much." ”

Outside the door, a small and delicate animal cub rushed into the house, and saw that the man on the bed was extremely excited, humming and chirping on the ground, which was very pleasing, and Ping An smiled, "Come, hug a little guy." Narcissus said coldly: "Don't hug it, don't your hands hurt anymore?" Ping'an saw that his palms were wrapped in strips of cloth, so he retracted his hand with a smile, and Ping'an asked: "Sister, do you know what kind of beast this is." ”

Narcissus shook her head, " I've never seen it before, this little guy likes water, two days ago when it came back with me, I was busy bandaging your wounds and didn't care about him, and when I was busy going out, I saw that it was lying leisurely in the basin in the yard to play with water, and then I saw that the water in the basin was dyed blood-red, so I washed him with a brush, and laid a small nest for him, but it didn't want to stay in the nest, so I had to lie in the wooden basin, and this guy's meal was very large, and I could eat our food for a day, and the village chief came over yesterday and only knew that this beast was very powerful, but I didn't know what the name of this little guy was。 ”

"Very powerful?" Ping'an looked at the little beast with some surprise, recalling that the female beast's physique was hundreds of pounds, if anyone was hit by it, the bones would not fall apart?

Narcissus pondered, "In the future, it will be our new member, and we can't always call him a little guy, let's give him a name." Ping An thought for a while and said: "Seeing that he is red and fluttering, strong like a cow, it is better to call him Red Bull, anyway, he is not afraid of vulgarity, as long as he is smooth." Narcissus nodded and said, "Red Bull, good name, come here, Red Bull." The little beast whimpered and rolled on the ground.

Ping'an was a little worried: "The village chief is so old, and he came to see me again, I'm really embarrassed, what did he say?" Narcissus said softly: "He said that he wanted you to take care of your injuries, oh yes, he also brought you Chinese medicine and clothes or something, and two hens, I will give you stewed chicken soup to drink later." Ping'an swallowed his saliva, how long have you eaten vegetarian food, and the intestines are about to fade out of the bird, Narcissus looked at the man's greedy expression, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I know how to eat, the village chief has good news when he comes over this time." Ping'an guessed: "What good news? My relatives have been killed?" Narcissus shook his head, "The good news is that those officers and soldiers who are looking for arrest have been found by the river a few days ago, which means that the person who wants to be arrested is not you." Narcissus's tone was very joyful, and she was relieved to hear the news.

Ping'an didn't feel anything, and said indifferently: "Look, I'll say I'm a hero, how can those officers and soldiers come to arrest me." ”

Narcissus said helplessly: "I won't tell you, I'll make chicken soup, you lie on the bed and don't move." β€œ

Ping An suddenly remembered that he seemed to have brought back a long sword that day, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister, what about my sword." The daffodil head didn't reply: "Throw it away." Ping An was a little anxious, "How can I throw it away, I'm still useful." Narcissus didn't pay attention to him, and Ping An said to himself in pain: "At a glance, I know that the sword is not ordinary, so it's okay if I don't use it to sell it for money, alas." ”

In the kitchen, the woman held a kitchen knife in her hand and gestured to the old hen in front of her for a long time, and there were words in her mouth: "Peace needs to eat some meat to replenish the body, I'm sorry." The red bull on the side tilted his head and stared wide-eyed, whimpered, seemed to not understand why it was so difficult to kill a chicken, and just wanted to jump over and bite the hen to death, the woman glanced at the red bull at her feet, and was also a little embarrassed, her hands were a little stiff, she had never done much of the work of killing chickens, in the past, she was taking it to let other people in the village kill and then take it back, today I want to kill the chicken with my own hands, I can't help but be a little nervous, thinking of the weak body of the man in the house, the woman's heart is horizontal, she grabs the chicken wings with her left hand, twists the chicken head with her right hand and lets her left finger pinch, free her right hand, raises the kitchen knife and slashes it at the neck of the chicken, and suddenly, the blood flowsThe woman carried the hen's feet and dripped the chicken's blood into the bowl, the hen slowly stopped moving, the woman let out a sigh of relief, and threw the chicken into the hot water on the side.

In the middle of the night, the aroma of chicken soup permeated the entire courtyard.

The woman came to the house with a big bowl of chicken, Ping'an couldn't wait for a long time, took a piece and tasted it, and said with an intoxicated face: "It's so fragrant, sister, your craftsmanship is really good." Narcissus was also very happy, and said softly: "If you like it, eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold, and if it's not enough, there will be it in the pot." Ping'an watched the woman stand aside and watch him eat, and couldn't help but wonder: "Then what about you, why don't you eat?" Narcissus smiled, "Eat quickly, I just ate it." ”

Ping An said with a look of disbelief: "Sister, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it." After saying that, he was about to put the bowl aside, and Narcissus said helplessly: "Okay, I'm really afraid of you, I'll eat it too." The Red Bull on the ground also barked, "Oh yes, and you little one." ”

The two of them and a small beast divided a whole chicken into two, Narcissus only symbolically ate two pieces and resolutely stopped eating, Red Bull also didn't seem to like to eat chicken, he ate more than half of a chicken alone, and hiccuped safely and comfortably, and a thought flashed in his mind, so it was very good to live this life with Sister Narcissus.

Narcissus finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and brought in a long sword from outside the door and handed it to Ping'an, Ping'an looked surprised, and the corners of Narcissus's mouth hooked: "It was really thrown away, but Red Bull dragged this sword back, thank it if you want to thank it, don't thank me, I'm a little strange, why does Red Bull have a soft spot for this sword." Ping An touched the smooth sword body and said casually: "Probably because this sword has its mother's smell on it, he will be reluctant to give up." ”

Narcissus was interested: "Tell me what happened that day, you still owe me an explanation." Ping An had no choice but to tell what happened that day again, and Narcissus was also a little distressed after hearing it: "It turns out that Red Bull's mother was killed, alas, poor child." Ping An hurriedly explained: "I'm just guessing, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's just that the old man in black has bad intentions, and Red Bull's mother is probably also trying to protect her child." ”

Narcissus watched Ping An play with the strange long sword and said softly: "You like swords very much?" Ping An nodded, and said with a smile: "Of course, when I am healed, I will practice swords, become a master, make a lot of money, and let you live a good life." ”

Narcissus bit her lip and said softly: "I don't like to live a rich and good life, as long as you are safe, I will be very happy." ”

Ping An whispered a little distracted: "Sister, don't be so good to me, you are so good to me, if one day you treat me badly, I will be very sad." ”

Narcissus rubbed Ping'an's head and said softly: "Fool, you are my brother, who am I not good to you to?" Ping'an nodded vigorously and grinned happily.

Narcissus gently touched Ping'an's chest and asked, "Does it still hurt?" Ping'an shook his head, patted his chest and said, "It doesn't hurt at all, I think this will make me strong like a cow." Narcissus smiled and said, "I don't know if there is a cow or not, but you look like a big stupid cow." ”

Ping'an only stretched out his thumb and little finger with both hands, put them on his nostrils, and learned the "reckless" cry of the old scalper, which caused Narcissus to laugh again and again.

The sisters and brothers laughed for a while, Narcissus restrained his smile, and said: "Ping'an, since those officers and soldiers are not looking for you, then wait for your wounds to heal in a few days, the two of us don't have to hide here, we can go down the mountain, the village chief has waited for so long, and he sent us ginseng and hens, you have to thank the old man after you go down the mountain, as for them want you to call out the big turtle, or you can try, if you can't call it out, forget it, anyway, we have nothing to lose." β€œ

Ping'an agreed: "I listen to my sister, I will do whatever my sister tells me to do, and my sister will not let me practice the sword, I will throw the sword back into the mountain in a while." Narcissus shook her head and said: "Sister didn't say that she wouldn't let you practice swords, but I'm afraid that you will be in danger, if you really like Li Lianjian, how can my sister not support you?"

Ping An said with a resolute face: "In order to be able to protect Sister Narcissus, I am not afraid of no matter how hard and tired I am." Narcissus smiled: "My mouth is so sweet, I don't know how many women I have deceived before, okay, I boiled hot water, you will take a bath later, your body stinks to death." ”

Ping'an said happily: "Yes, it's time to take a bath, alas, Sister Narcissus, did the blood on my body get on you that day, or let's wash together today, I'll rub your back, I'll tell you, my back rubbing technique is good, you didn't let me rub you that day It's your loss, you know?" ”

The next moment, Narcissus's hand was on Ping'an's head, but Ping'an had already foreseen it and covered his head first, hehe Zhile, "Sister, can I let you hit me three times in the same place?" A pig-like scream sounded, Ping An made a bitter face, and said, "Sister, it hurts." Narcissus had a cold face, "Still talking nonsense?" Ping'an looked miserable and said in distress: "Sister, you let go first." Narcissus looked at Ping'an's expression a little unbearable, so he let go of his fingers, Ping'an rubbed his ears vigorously, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really ruthless." β€œ

Narcissus turned around and said, "I'll pour water, and you take off your clothes yourself." ”

Ping An grimaced with his back to Narcissus and slowly took off his clothes.

After Narcissus arrived at the hot water, he tested the temperature of the water and said, "It's okay." With that, he turned around and walked out of the room, muttering peacefully as he slowly sat down on the edge of the barrel, whew, comfortable.

As soon as Ping An sat down, Narcissus walked in with a towel and pancreas, Ping An hurriedly shrank his body into the bucket, with a surprised face, Narcissus snorted and said, "What are you hiding, it's not like I haven't seen it." After Narcissus finished speaking, he regretted it a little, his face was a little red, he could only pretend to be calm, and he couldn't say anything peacefully, and stammered: "Sister, you, what are you doing." Narcissus saw that the man's expression was a little funny, and said with a straight face: "Turn around, I'll rub your back." Ping An thought that he had heard it wrong, but when the woman urged again, she reacted, and slowly moved her body and turned around.

The woman squatted down, picked up some water on Ping'an's back, rubbed it vigorously with a towel, the woman's fingers touched Ping'an's back, Ping'an's body shook and became tense, the woman laughed: "Just this dare to say that you want to take a bath with me and help me rub my back?" Ping'an sighed and said: "Yes, I want to wash with my sister, but I have a thief's heart and no thief's courage, what can you do if you don't agree with me?" The woman smiled and questioned a little: "Why do I think you have the courage to be a thief or not?"

Ping An was interrupted by the woman, his body slowly relaxed, and he was lying on the wall of the barrel with his back to the woman, his eyes were clear and there was no trace of lewdness.
