Chapter 8: Aggie
readx; When the fifth small building woke up, the milky morning mist was disappearing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
From time to time, insects and birds were whispering in the wind, the earth was wet with dew, and the dark sky on the horizon was transforming into a hopeful white.
She took a deep breath, and the cold wind swept through the treetops, bringing the fragrance of Konoha with her.
Then she laughed, because she knew she was alive, and she knew that if she survived, there would be hope.
This is really a very simple ruined temple, there is a dense jungle outside, there is no road and no people can be seen, of course the broken temple is in tatters, in addition to the bonfire and hay, there is also a statue of the mountain god.
The god of the Angry Mountain held a long sword in his hand, and looked in the dim light of the fire, as if he was about to kill the traitors of the world and avenge the innocent people.
The fifth building struggled to sit up from the haystack, and looked at the mountain god in a daze, and the mountain god seemed to be looking at her in a daze.
Everything that happened yesterday was so sudden and terrible that she couldn't accept the fact that her loved ones had died in front of her again. But now that the facts are in front of her, even if she doesn't want to accept it, she must accept it.
But fortunately, the injuries on her body were already healed, and I think it was some unknown panacea used by the person who saved her.
But why did the man save her?
On the peeling paint, there was a newly placed wooden shelf, on which stood a swordβhis sword!
The scabbard is jet black, although it is a little old, the apricot yellow spike has no color, and the ancient form of the sword is still shining.
Although the sword had not yet been unsheathed, the fifth Xiaolou could feel that a cold sword intent was penetrating her heart and lungs, seeping into her bone marrow, so cold that she couldn't help but sit a little closer to the campfire.
At this time, she suddenly heard someone behind her smile: "This sword has just been fished out of the lake for a long time, and it will inevitably carry a little chill." β
Listening to the voice, this person should be very old, but when the fifth Xiaolou looked back carefully, he found that this person was not old, and he was even very young.
She immediately fell to the ground, and her voice trembled a little: "Thank you, sir, for saving your life." β
In fact, she prepared a lot of thanks, but all she could say was the word "thank you", and then she didn't know what to say, but she didn't have to say more, because no matter how fanciful she said, it couldn't be as sincere as these two words.
The man took her by the shoulder, helped her up, and asked, "Are you better?"
The fifth Xiaolou nodded: "It's much better, thank you......"
"Don't thank you for coming and going, it sounds too raw. The man interrupted her with a smile, and pointed to the haystack on the side, "Sit down, even if the external injury is healed, the internal injury needs to be slowly repaired." β
Isn't that enough?
Fifth Xiaolou didn't even know the name of this person, so after she sat down, she asked again: "I only know Mr.'s surname Xie, but I don't know what Mr.'s name is?"
The man also sat down, sat down next to her, stretched out his hand to bake the fire, and said calmly and kindly: "It's okay to call me Aji." β
The fifth Xiaolou was stunned and muttered to himself: "Ah... Gee?"
It was a very strange and common name, and it was also a very close nickname, but it seemed a little familiar to her ears, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it anyway.
This name seemed to make Aji suddenly recall something, and said with a faint smile: "Useless Aji." β
Fifth Xiaolou scratched his head, and didn't know what to say, how could anyone in this world use the word "useless" to describe themselves.
Aggie: "Are you still wondering why I should save you?" β
The fifth Xiaolou sighed: "I can't think of it. β
Aji sighed and smiled: "I can't think of it either, because all this is incredible, but I can't say it, and you can't listen to it." β
The fifth small building was moved: "Why?"
Aggie shook his head: "No why. β
Is there something unspeakable about saving people?
The fifth Xiaolou wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything when his mouth opened, it suddenly turned into a long sigh, since Aji wouldn't say more, it was meaningless to ask more.
She hung her head, looking a little depressed.
At this time, she suddenly remembered Li Fenggu who was still in Yuecheng, and she didn't know if he had escaped, as for Li Fu, she didn't even dare to think about it anymore, because she knew Li Fu very well, and he would not have any chance of surviving in that situation.
A few days ago, it was a happy family, but it seems that she is the only one left.
Aji suddenly took out a wine jug from the corner, slapped the mud seal with one palm, and said, "I specially brought this wine from over there, do you want to drink some?"
The fifth Xiaolou shook his head, he didn't like to drink very much, so how could he still have the mind at this time.
Aji took a sip to herself, and looked at her again: "I remember that you often have to drink at night to fall asleep, why don't you want to drink now?"
Fifth Xiaolou looked at him in surprise, his eyes were full of various questions, and said, "How do you know?"
Aji took another sip, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "I also know that your name is Fifth Xiaolou, who was originally the third daughter of the Fifth General's family of the Yue Kingdom, and was later adopted by Li Fenggu, an old friend of the Fifth General. β
The fifth Xiaolou was even more surprised at this time, she couldn't say a word for a long time with her mouth open, and she had the impression that only she and Li Fenggu knew this secret, and even Mrs. Li didn't know it, and now it was casually told by someone she just knew.
Aggie seemed to know her well, and asked, "You want revenge?"
Fifth Xiaolou immediately said, "Can you help me?"
Aji didn't answer in a hurry, just stared into her eyes, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "I just want you to remember one sentence, once you become a Jianghu person, you will always be a Jianghu person, and the blood on your hands can't be wiped off or erased, unless you die." β
Fifth Xiaolou: "I also have a saying. β
Aggie: "You say. β
The fifth Xiaolou also stared at the depths of his eyes, and said word for word: "I want to be a murderer, not a murderer." β
She suddenly smiled again, and slowly continued, "No matter who you are, it's better than being a dead person." β
Aggie laughed too, he looked up and laughed, and put the flask aside, and then the sword on the divine case immediately flew out and slowly fell into his hand, as if there were a pair of invisible hands supporting it underneath.
He drew his sword out of its sheath, and the cold light immediately illuminated the eyes of the two people, and then put the sword into the sheath again, handed it to the fifth small building, and said, "Give it to you." β
Fifth Xiaolou took the long sword in surprise, her hand was trembling slightly, and an indescribable strange feeling immediately climbed up her skin along the sword body, and then slowly seeped into her body.
Although the sword was cold, her heart was hot, a kind of excitement full of hope for the future.
She clenched her sword and asked, "Why?"
Aji said lightly: "Because I don't have a sword anymore." β
This is a very intriguing sentence, although the fifth Xiaolou is not a swordsman, he seems to understand the meaning.
-- Even if he doesn't have a sword in his palm, it doesn't matter, because he has entered the supreme realm of martial arts, which is a kind of "sword is not a sword, I am not me", like an immortal Buddha.
So she smiled: "What is this sword called?"
Aji also smiled: "Aji, this sword is also called Aji." β
The fifth Xiaolou covered his mouth and chuckled, and his mood changed a lot, and said, "How can you name the sword with your own name." β
Aji: "The name is just a code name, if you want, you can call it a cat or a dog." β
The fifth Xiaolou put away the sword before saying, "No need, I think the name Aji is quite good." β
As soon as he finished saying this, Aji stood up with the flask in his arms, his eyes already in the distance.
The fifth Xiaolou was surprised: "Are you leaving now?"
Aggie nodded, not answering, and not having to.
The fifth Xiaolou also stood up and asked him anxiously: "But I don't know swordsmanship at all." β
Aji kept looking into the distance, without looking back, and said slowly: "How will the sword do you." β
The sword is not a man, and how can the sword teach a man?
The fifth Xiaolou looked at the sword, and then at Aji, and suddenly found that his person had also appeared in the distance, and his last words came from afar: "There is a small town to the south, you and I will say goodbye." β
When will we see each other again?
She didn't know, no one knew, she just held Aji's sword tightly and looked at Aji's departing back in silence.
ββWho is Aggie?
There are many strange people in the rivers and lakes, and since people are reluctant to say more, she naturally will not have to investigate to the end.
