The four of them walked through a village, but still didn't see anyone.
"Gang leader, look, there seems to be a shadow of someone flashing under the tree in front of you!"
At this time, the eyes of the old bear cat walking in front lit up, and he seemed to see some movement behind a big poplar tree dozens of steps away from the village entrance in front.
Whoosh!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Ma Zijin rushed over.
"careful!"
Gui Yunzheng was worried about his beloved wife. He called out softly and his body moved accordingly.
His light kung fu was much higher than that of Ma Zijin. Although he developed it later, he arrived first.
I saw an unkempt child behind the big poplar tree, huddled under the tree in fear, looking at him speechless.
"Little brother, don't be afraid, we are not evil people."
Gui Yunzheng looked cheerful, knelt down and stretched out his hand to the child.
However, the child shrank back even more, letting his hand stretch out for a long time without holding it.
"Haha, husband, you scared him."
Ma Zijin, who arrived later, smiled, then squatted down, stretched out his hand to the child, and said softly: "Get up, child."
As expected, her opening made the child less wary. Although he looked at her with some fear, he finally mustered up the courage and climbed up.
As soon as he got up, Ma Zijin saw some clues. It turned out that although the child's clothes were shabby and her hair was disheveled, her eyes were very clear and her body had some slight bumps. There was no doubt that she was a girl.
Subconsciously, Ma Zijin stretched out her hand, trying to push away her hair hanging from her eyes, wanting to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, her face was slightly red, and she gently moved it away.
"Little brother, why are you so shy?"
Gui Yunzheng actually saw the problem and joked deliberately with a smile.
"Husband, couldn't you have noticed that this is a little girl!"
Ma Zijin said angrily.
After saying that, he grabbed the girl's hand.
The girl couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but after seeing Ma Zijin's friendly smile, she gradually let go of her guard and let her hold his hand.
"Little sister, where have all the people in the village gone?"
Seeing that he had gained her initial trust, Ma Zijin went straight to the point and asked lightly.
"No, I don't know."
The girl shook her head, still hesitant.
Gui Yunzheng took a look and knew that she must have seen that the four of them were carrying swords and their identities were unknown, but she still couldn't trust them completely.
"Little sister, come on, let's go down and talk."
Ma Zijin took her hand and sat down on a big rock nearby.
"Let me tell you, we are knights from Xiangchu. We are here today to track down a flower-picking thief. By the way, flower-picking thief, do you know what this means?"
Speaking of this, Ma Zijin asked the girl lightly.
"I know, I know."
The girl's face turned even redder, but a complicated light seemed to flash in her eyes.
Ma Zijin thought for a moment that there might be a story behind this girl, but he couldn't ask for it at the moment, so he continued to make up the story: "Although this flower-picking thief has committed a heinous crime, he is highly skilled in martial arts, and his skill in making light of his body is even more impressive. We have chased him all the way from Xiangyang. , he escaped several times. Today we chased outside the city, but suddenly lost traces of him. I thought he might have entered the city before us, but now the war is about to start, the city gate is closed, and foreigners People are not allowed to enter. Therefore, we really want to find a path that can enter the city. Otherwise, if we let him take advantage of the panic of the people to show his power, we don't know how many good women will be harmed."
After saying that, Ma Zijin pretended to be emotional again and let out a long sigh. It was originally a temporary reason, but after I finished speaking, it somehow aroused melancholy for a moment.
But the girl's eyes became a bit fierce, and a lot of hatred was reflected in the eyes of the four people in an instant.
