8. Xiaoxue Yanran (II)
He smiled coldly and carried her all the way back to the cave before throwing her to the ground.
There was no wind blowing in the cave, but there was a fire in the middle, and there was some hay in the corner, so it was not cold. She sat against the stone wall, staring hatefully at the rough man, and countless chaotic thoughts flashed in her mind, and even completely regretted the impulsive running away from home.
The hoarse voice commanded, "Don't move, don't shout." ”
Now it's not that she doesn't dare to move, but she can't. She was angry and anxious, but at a glance she caught a glimpse of the sword at his waist and had to be at her mercy.
He untied his cloak and coat and put it over her, gently lifted her injured foot, took off her soaked shoes and socks, and took a closer look: "It didn't hurt the bones, it wasn't broken." But if you don't burn the fire again, it's time for frostbite. Then he took out a bottle of potion, rubbed it on the wound, and gently rubbed her foot. The cold feet gradually warmed up, and the pain was much better.
She was stunned for a long time and snorted: "If you want to treat my injuries, just say it, deliberately scare people!"
After a sudden glance, the murderous aura that suddenly rose in her eyes frightened her and she immediately curled up against the stone wall, not daring to make a sound. Strange, the paralyzed numbness has actually been self-relieved, and a vague thought came out of his mind, as if he had heard his brother mention that the acupoints can temporarily relieve the pain. In confusion, he looked at this rough man with a half-covered face and blinked, and was a little more curious in addition to being afraid.
The man really didn't do anything, put the rest of the steamed buns beside her, and went out of the cave without waiting for her gratitude, until his indifferent tone was directly reminiscent of a face that looked like a plaster cast and thick ink: "Sleep! ”
"It's not cold outside?"
"Long-winded!" roared again, this time she really didn't dare to speak again.
Probably too tired, she fell asleep after a while until she was woken up by the warm sunshine the next day.
The guy wasn't there. A new pair of boots and clean socks sit at her feet, just right for walking in the snow. The wet shoes and socks were already dry, and someone had arranged them and placed them on her baggage, side by side with the new boots. The foot injury has also improved a lot, and I hardly feel any pain when I walk. She smiled knowingly and folded the coat he had left behind.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of swords, and the sound of the wind accompanying the forest pressed from all around.
The sea of snow was surprised, as if a sudden rainstorm had hit, and the air was condensed together.
Heading out of the cavern, a black shadow flew over her head. She didn't know what to do for a while, and she was immobilized.
I only heard someone in the forest shouting: "Hand her over, spare your life!"
Then a sneer burst out accompanied by a short reply: "Less nonsense!"
Immediately, I saw a messy sword light and sword shadow flickering in front of me, sometimes near and sometimes far away, sometimes left and sometimes right. One, two, three...... How many people were there? She was dizzying. It is impossible to discern where these people are coming from and where they are going.
Two or three flakes of snow fell beside the sea of snow. Is it snowing? All of a sudden, the sky is full of snowflakes, as if another blizzard has fallen.
Chu Xuehai stood in the snowdrift, and after a while, his body had accumulated heavy weight after weight. She could clearly see a silver sword flashing in the snow mist, breaking through all obstacles and turning the world upside down. The sword waves rolled up the snow, the snow and fog were thick for a while, the wind rose suddenly, a blur, and the ears whined.
In an instant, the sound of the sword stopped abruptly. When the sea of snow opens its eyes again, the wind has stopped, the forest has been quiet, and the snow has settled.
There was only the dark shadow of last night, standing upright, holding his long sword...... His hands were full of sword blood, and he was hideous and terrifying.
He leaned over and rubbed a handful of snow to wipe the blood from the sword on his hand. The dripping blood slowly flowed on the ground, black and red all over the ground.
Xue Hai held his breath and didn't dare to spit out half a word.
When the stranger turned to her, she involuntarily fell backwards, leaning against the rock wall.
His gaze forced her to have nowhere to hide.
Suddenly, with a wave of her hand, a paper bag flew towards her: "Next!"
The paper bag fell steadily into her hand, and she was stunned for a long time and didn't dare to open it.
"Eat when you're hungry and hit the road when you're done. After saying that, he turned his face again, ignoring the frightened sea of snow.
She casually threw the dry food in her hand: "I don't want to starve to death with bloody gas!"
"You!" he glared fiercely, Xue Hai trembled with fright, lowered his head and didn't dare to look, but he didn't move, and he didn't know where the stubbornness came from.
After a moment, a soft voice sounded in his ears: "I'm scared of you? If you don't eat, you're going to starve to death in the wilderness." He picked up the paper bag that was still warm and rubbed it on her shoulder, she felt a little sorry, but she didn't move.
"It's just starvation, and I won't have to save you next time!"
He shook his hand angrily, nibbled on the buns in the paper bag, and said coldly as he gnawed: "There were seven people in the gang just now, and each of them was a well-known killer. Looks like a good deal. Sell you to them for a few drinks. ”
"You dare!"
She immediately snatched the two buns with all her brute force, and devoured them regardless of any grace, as if she wanted to eat the stranger in front of her in one bite.
When she looked up, she bumped into his rampant expression and sword-like eyes, which could almost penetrate her heart: "Chu Xuehai?"
"Who is Chu Xuehai?"
He grabbed her wrist and tore off the jade pendant on her waist: "This thing can't deceive people, you and your brother have one piece each." ”
Xue Hai was caught in pain, his face was flushed, and he couldn't break free, and he stomped his feet with hatred: "When did you know so clearly?
He didn't pay attention to it at all, he wasn't afraid of those who danced knives and guns before, why was he afraid of a weak little girl?
In a hurry, Xue Hai crashed into him, and seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, he bit his arm firmly.
He didn't move, didn't even frown, his expression was still hard as stone. In desperation, she gradually relented, leaving bloody tooth marks on his arm. A long string of tears burst out of his eyes, and the hem of his shirt was drenched.
A joking voice sounded: "Chu Tao can be described as the most elegant in the rivers and lakes, and he actually has a sister who can bite!"
"What do you want?" she was about to reach out to grab the jade pendant, but he threw it back to her directly: "Hide it, this thing can kill your brother in a hurry." She had no choice but to glare at the stranger. "Finish eating and go on your way!" she didn't move. "If you don't want to go, stay alone in the mountains to feed the wolves. Sentence by sentence hard words were thrown down. She had no choice but to sit back in the cave, nibble on a few bites of the bun and throw it away, holding her hair in a daze.
The man was stunned, then sat down beside her and picked up the grass in the crack of the stone: "Finished eating, let's go, your brother's people are crazy!"
"It's my brother's person again, the good guy looks like it, and the bad guy looks like it!" she glanced at him with her head propped up and pouted, "But...... Not at all!"
"Not like a good person?" the man laughed, "I'm not a good person in the first place. ”
"That'...... Are you afraid to go to Beacon Ridge?"
"What are you doing in Beacon Ridge? Let your brother be a firewood?"
Xue Hai sighed: "After my father passed away, my brother took care of me since I was a child. But he always hid me in the backyard and forbade me to go out for half a step. Every time I went out, he said to me: "Be good, wait for me to come back." But I'll never wait for him to come back. I'd rather be an ordinary girl...... If he wants to learn a sword, he won't be allowed. I can't understand a word of the words that come out of the mouth of the old gentleman who teaches literacy......" She buried her head in a low bow, pouring bitter water.
A sigh in his ear, a glance raised, met the man's gaze - all the edge, with indescribable sorrow. Looking at each other, she suddenly had the illusion that her brother was sitting beside her.
"Your eyes are so beautiful...... "He seemed to remember something, and turned his gaze to the sky with a heavy heart. After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his voice again: "Isn't it the Beacon Ridge, do you dare to go?"
"Can you take me?"
"The girl's house is in the way, I'm not sure. What's more, it's still a crying person. ”
"Who said that?" Xue Hai immediately wiped away his tears and jumped up, "I just said that I would bite someone! Isn't there a Tianyue Gate in the Beacon Fire Ridge and a Paiyun Pavilion? Uncle, you are not afraid, how can Chu Tao's sister be afraid!"
He suddenly grinned. This smile made Xue Hai feel that his face was not as ugly as the stove. Sharp black eyes, thin face shape and tall figure have a fierce and resolute atmosphere. It's only because he has messy hair, a messy thick beard, an unnaturally tense face, and a body of wind and dust, that he is like a fierce god. It's a little rougher, but maybe it's not a bad person.
"Don't call me uncle, call me Xie Junhe. ”
Xue Haile became a flower, jumping and spinning in place.
Xie Junhe glanced at her disdainfully, and stared at her as if admiring a flower. He sniffed at the air, and seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of fireworks: "Don't be too happy, listen to my orders." ”
