The woods on the border of Yuezhou are lush, with tree trunks standing beside the official road and flowers everywhere. From time to time, you can hear the sound of streams rushing against rocks. The two people riding horses together were injured, and it was inevitable that they could not go too fast. , it will still take some time to catch up with the caravans that have set off early.
"Can you ride faster? How can a man be so grinding? Let me do it." The woman in blue urged, seeing that she was going a bit slowly. She twisted her waist to get the reins, but before she had finished turning halfway, she heard something coming from her lower abdomen. With the tearing pain, he quickly covered his wound and was unable to speak for a while.
"It might be a bit bumpy if it's too fast. It's natural for us to go slower now. The caravan has to transport goods, and the uncles can only trot at the fastest speed, so they won't be able to go very far," said the young man in a short shirt behind him who was riding a horse.
"oh...".
"Um".
Feeling speechless in the face of Lin Manliu's perfunctory reply, Yue Hanzhi turned to look at the young man. He was looking ahead and turned around. Because they were not much different in stature, her side face was very close to the young man's face. Under the sun, some untangled bangs and some strands of hair on the temples fluttered casually beside the young man's face. His eyes at this time were very different from those when he faced the tall and thin man. At that time, his eyes were bloodshot and particularly scary. It looks very bright now, just like a clear spring in the mountains falling into the pool, bright and clear.
The young man seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, and then he lowered his head. As a result, the two of them were too close, and their faces met instantly. The broken hair from his temples fell between her eyebrows. Upon seeing this, Yue Hanzhi immediately turned her head and looked forward. .
"What are you looking at? Can you take a good look at the road?" the woman in blue said with some embarrassment, her ears turning red as she spoke.
The young man in a short shirt coughed and continued to look at the horse riding ahead. The two rode through the forest, grassland, creek, and stone bridge, and they were silent all the way.
When they left Yuezhou City at noon, it was already sunset, and the sun was gradually setting over the high mountains in the west. The two still did not catch up with the caravan and planned to find a place with a wide view to rest.
I still found a place by the creek, but this time I sat higher up. After settling the woman in blue, the boy in short shirt tied the horse and went to the forest to collect firewood to make a fire in the evening. Everything went smoothly without any surprises. The two of them prepared to rest by the stream.
After the sun went down, the roar of some animals in the forest gradually spread. Lin Manliu lit the bonfire and added more firewood to make the fire bigger. He took out the remaining pancakes in the package and placed them next to the fire. After letting it warm up a little, he handed it to Yue Hanzhi beside him.
"When you were chatting at the inn earlier, didn't you say that you just followed this caravan on a long trip? How come you are quite skilled at these things?" the woman in blue asked as she took the pancake handed to her, then tore off the pancake bit by bit and put it into her mouth. .
"When I was in Fengcheng, my father had to help the government with the farm work. My mother was not in good health and she was naturally aware of some trivial matters. But the main thing was that she often ran outside for fun and sometimes touched fish in the river and did it herself. Eat something, I want to take it home to my mother, but I am afraid of being noised by her..." The boy in a short shirt said and recalled the days when he was still in Fengcheng. Not long after he came out, he found that he was a little homesick.
Yue Hanzhi looked at Lin Manliu, who was looking down at the pancakes in his hand. He knew at a glance that the little kid was homesick after traveling far away. He coughed twice and looked at the young man who was staring at the pancakes without saying a word and said, "I know in the daytime." Why are there such a big gap between those two people and us? If it weren't for the thin monkey who was too ink-blank and underestimated the enemy, the two of us who were injured would have died long ago."
The young man in short shirt calmed down and looked at the woman in blue in front of him, waiting for the other party to answer her questions. She looked at this scene and thought to herself that the effect was indeed outstanding, then she smiled and continued: "Maybe you and I are as powerful as them. , you also have to use the method of forging the sword power of the sword peak, but you were completely suppressed by the enemy at the beginning, just because you did not master a method that allows you to adjust your inner breath and breathe."
"Master has never told me this..." Lin Manliu said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Your master is not a fortune teller. Could he have calculated that you would be a bandit and a disciple of a sect all the way?" Yue Hanzhi said with a pout, her face looking even more beautiful as the bonfire reflected it.
"That's right. Master just told me about the people and things along the way, and I may not be able to meet these people."
"Then your master is really a crow's mouth. Everything you said before was correct."
"It's just that I'm unlucky. Let's talk about the previous method of adjusting inner breath."
Being brought back to the topic by the boy in a short shirt, the woman in blue had no choice but to give up and reply: "The difference between the lower third class and the middle third class is this. Some gangsters or those rich people's housekeepers are top-notch." They can only reach the seventh level and not the front, because they will only use their own brute force and physical strength to show their personal strength."
"Those who are in the third grade of middle school use those mysterious methods to make their bodies more agile and tense, right?" The boy in the short shirt seemed to understand something and replied.
"Indeed, for example, I also learned something at home. If I were not injured, it would not be impossible to confront those two enemies. You must ask your master carefully and let him teach you. These are related to Issues of inheritance and sect cannot be passed on to others at will," Yue Hanzhi nodded and said.
After the young man in short shirt thanked the woman in blue for clarifying his doubts, he looked at the stream beside him and began to fall into deep thought again. He didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing this, the woman in blue felt helpless and was thinking about finding something to say to continue enlightening the young man in front of her.
The young man in a short shirt began to speak: "Miss Yue, do you think it is normal to kill thieves like today or when you met bandits before?"
The woman in blue seemed to see his concerns: "He wants to kill you. If you don't kill him, why don't you wait for death? Or kneel down and beg for mercy and beg the abuser to let you go?"
"Master said that when you encounter trouble, you can reverse your identity and look at the problem from the other person's perspective. If he wants to kill me, I will kill him. General Li also said that the sword to save people should not be afraid of what he does. But I still They killed people... The ones before could be regarded as thieves who did all kinds of evil, but today they are some decent disciples from famous families." Lin Manliu said, clasping his hands and watching the slow flow of the stream, seeming a little scared. .
Yue Hanzhi randomly picked up a small stone and threw it on his head. The boy in short shirt was stunned and looked at the woman in blue who was leaning under the tree trunk. She smiled and said: "Your master and that general are not already here." I’ve told you, but you didn’t listen, what kind of decent disciple is that from a famous family? Would anyone with high integrity behave like this?”
Lin Manliu did not respond, and the two of them had no conversation after that.
Unknowingly, it was almost dark. In the dusk, the boy in a short shirt was thinking silently in the stream. The woman in blue leaned against the tree trunk and looked at the boy who was thinking. The cool breeze came through the stream and blew the corners of their clothes. , also blows the stream to rest people's hearts.
The young man's temperament changes subtly due to the people or things he encounters on the long journey, allowing him to slowly adapt to this world full of fireworks and grievances.
