Seeing the pale Wu Fengyan still holding himself in front of him, his face showing the stubbornness deep in his bones, Xia Luotong felt his heart suffocate. When he looked at the thief again, his eyes were filled with tears. Ice cold.
Seeing that his blow failed, the thief swung his sword forward again. His intention was very obvious. He planned to chop down Wu Fengyan first and then attack Xia Luotong!
Seeing the thief approaching again with a knife, Xia Luotong's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed Wu Fengyan's hand that was trying to push him away. While pulling him towards her, he raised his other hand decisively, flicked his fingers, and then Hearing a scream suddenly sounded!
The thief covered his eyes in pain, and blood gushed out from between his fingers. It looked really horrifying, and the long knife originally held in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
Seeing that the thief was only wailing in pain and not caring about anything else, Xia Luotong immediately picked up the Wu Feng Inkstone, turned around and ran away again.
During the delay just now, she had already seen the vague figures at the entrance of the alley. They were the group of people who were chasing her and Wu Fengyan. These people had been following behind and never left. It was obvious that they would not give up until they achieved their goals.
Xia Luotong frowned, and while pulling Wu Fengyan, who was holding back the pain, he scanned the surrounding terrain, trying to find a place where he could temporarily hide.
She had scanned Wu Fengyan's back just now and roughly knew his injuries. If he continued to run away like this, firstly, she didn't know if there would be any hidden dangers in the dark, and secondly, Wu Fengyan would also suffer from excessive blood loss. And more and more dangerous.
"Leave me alone, let's go." Wu Fengyan allowed Xia Luotong to pull him forward, and his voice was not as strong as before.
He knew that his current situation would only drag down Xia Luotong. If the two of them were together, no one would be able to escape in the end.
If he was killed just like that, he would be somewhat unwilling to do so. His revenge has not yet been avenged, and there are still things he wants to do that he has not yet done.
But he didn't regret the knife he blocked for Xia Luotong just now. He couldn't say why. Maybe he had already remembered her in his mind when he saw her for the first time at the palace banquet.
At that time, she had obviously guessed her identity as the prince, but whether it was the last time or this time, she did not show the slightest disdain or sympathy. What flashed in her eyes was the light that regarded him as an equal.
How long has it been since he was looked at by anyone? In other words, being treated as a person...
When he saw the thief slashing at Xia Luotong with a knife, he had only one thought in his mind, that is, she must not be hurt, so he made that move almost subconsciously.
Xia Luotong didn't know what Wu Fengyan was thinking. She didn't even expect that Wu Fengyan would block the knife for her. It was unbelievable for such a highly defensive young man to do such a thing. After all, she and Wu Fengyan had just met. It's just the second meeting.
But even though there were many things that he didn't understand, Xia Luotong still kept running forward, holding Wu Fengyan's hand without any intention of letting go.
"What did you say? You saved my life just now, how can I leave you alone now? What have I become?" Xia Luotong rejected Wu Fengyan's proposal without hesitation.
Her eyes kept darting around, looking for any place where she could hide.
"Then you should leave, so that my efforts are not in vain." Wu Fengyan gritted his teeth and kept persuading him, but his feet became a little weak.
"Say less and save your energy." Xia Luotong said this, undoubtedly rejecting Wu Fengyan's proposal again.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Luotong suddenly saw something. After looking at it for a moment, his already bright eyes shone a little brighter.
She immediately picked up Wu Fengyan and ran out without saying a word, quickly disappearing from the trace.
The two groups of thieves chased them all the way to the lake, but were shocked and stunned to find that they had actually lost him!
Not a single soul could be seen on the cold lakeside. On this day, almost half of the people in the capital had gathered in the north and south main streets to experience the excitement of the festival, so there were very few pedestrians in other places.
The two groups couldn't figure out why these two living people were missing. There was no sign of the two people around the lake that could be seen clearly at a glance. So where did the two people go?
The two groups had no choice but to divide their forces into several groups and search for traces of Xia Luotong and Wu Fengyan everywhere.
However, while these people were looking for someone, the two people they were targeting were hiding under the stone bridge not far from where they originally stood!
The stone bridge was next to the bridge pier on the shore. Xia Luotong held the bridge pier with one hand and half hugged the injured boy with the other hand, so that he could stand steady with his own support.
At this time, half of their bodies were immersed in the lake. The cold and biting lake water made them tremble uncontrollably, but they didn't seem to care about it. For them now, only safety was the most important.
The position they were standing in was just in the shadow under the bridge. It was night again, which could hide their figures well. Even if they went around to the other side of the lake, they could not be seen from there. Said it was an excellent hiding place.
Xia Luotong and Wu Fengyan have been hiding here quietly, not daring to make any sound, even breathing very slowly, and not even daring to move, for fear of making a sound of water, because those people were so far away from them just now Most recently, I walked across the bridge to look for their traces.
It wasn't until another group of people walked away that Xia Luotong listened carefully for a moment and made sure there was no one else around. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly looked at the young man in her arms.
As soon as she turned her head, she ran into a pair of pure eyes, her appearance reflected in them.
Being looked at by Wu Fengyan like this, Xia Luotong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. The first thing he said was to ask about his situation: "How do you feel now, can you still hold on?"
At this time, Wu Fengyan was just fourteen years old. Perhaps due to lack of nutrition before, his height had not fully grown yet. He was only slightly taller than Xia Luotong. Now, standing in the water, he was almost eye-level with her.
"Okay." Although Wu Fengyan felt cold, he didn't have to run and hurt his wounds anymore, so it was better than it was now.
"Keep on holding on, my husband will be found soon. When he comes, we will be saved." Xia Luotong nodded, seeing that Wu Fengyan's current condition was indeed better than before, and then Slightly relieved.
