Ni Chu

Xiang Ye grabbed two long swords from the ground, and before he could tell which was his and which was Mengsu's, he casually threw one of them to Mengsu, and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

Meng Su took the long sword without delay, followed behind Xiang Ye, and rushed out of the room.

After the two rushed out of the house, it happened that Guan Yijian and the other two white-clothed swordsmen lived in a house where there was a continuous scream. The scream was as shrill as the sound of a pig about to be slaughtered. , I could vaguely hear Guan Yijian shouting excitedly: "Speak up! Speak up!"

Xiang Ye spat at that room contemptuously. Although Meng Su didn't understand what happened in the room, seeing Xiang Ye's expression, he knew it would be a good thing. The house glanced.

The two of them didn't dare to delay too much, they quietly touched the entrance of the village, taking advantage of the moonlight, they saw the corpses of the villagers who were killed earlier scattered in the village, presumably no one would bury them.

After finding out the village, the two of them dared not continue heading east. Xiang Ye briefly identified the direction, pointed to the northeast and said to Mengsu: "Let's take a small path and take a detour to the east."

Mengsu nodded, without any objection, followed Xiang Ye into the grass by the road and ran towards the northeast.

Early the next morning, after Guan Yijian got up, he went to the door and stretched his waist. His complexion was a little bad, obviously because he had done too much physical activity the night before.The two white-clothed swordsmen who lived in the same room with him hadn't gotten up yet, and they were lying on the bed with their buttocks pouted, falling asleep.

Guan Yijian regained his sense of consciousness and walked towards the house where Xiang Ye and Mengsu were imprisoned. There were two corpses lying in front of him on the road, so he didn't go around and stepped on the corpses.After a night, the corpse was a little stiff, but Guan Yijian still felt that stepping on the flesh was much more comfortable than stepping directly on the ground.

Sunlight poured into the room through the window lattice, and the interior of the adobe-built house was still a little dark.After Guan Yijian entered the door, the first thing he saw was the swordsman in white lying facing the door.Except for the body of the swordsman lying across the room, there were no figures of Xiang Ye and Mengsu, and even the two long swords that the white-clothed swordsman guarded were gone.

Guan Yijian hurriedly stepped forward two steps, lifted the white-clothed swordsman lying on the ground and inspected it, the swordsman's neck had been broken long ago, and he had been dead for a whole night.

"Get up, get up!" Guan Yijian, who found that Xiang Ye and Mengsu had escaped, rushed back to the house where he stayed last night, and hit the buttocks of the two swordsmen who were still lying on the ground with pouting buttocks, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding. They kicked each other.

The two swordsmen were sleeping soundly, their buttocks were suddenly attacked, thinking that Guan Yijian was going to mount his gun again, he jumped up in shock, both of them covered their red and swollen chrysanthemums and looked at them in horror. Guan Yijian in front of him.

"Get up, I'm running away!" These two swordsmen were originally good-looking, but looking at Guan Yijian with eyes full of horror, it gave them a little bit of feminine charm, but Guan Yijian Jian didn't have the mood to pay attention to their charm at this time, he glared at them and shouted: "Hurry up and chase after me!"

Hearing what he said, the two swordsmen in white came to their senses. Guan Yijian kicked them awake not to straddle their horses and raise their guns to attack them again, but to ask them to quickly follow Xiang Ye and Mengsu, and quickly turn over and crawl Get up, follow Guan Yijian and run out towards the village entrance to the east.

The three of them headed east all the way, but Xiang Ye and Meng Su fled in the northeast direction, how could they catch up.

Xiang Ye and Mengsu ran towards the northeast for a whole day, and they didn't stop until it was completely dark again. But at the same time, they also discovered a more serious problem-they missed Sutou again. Just sleep out for one night.

Meng Su was still a little brooding over what Xiang Ye did the night before, and after the two found a quiet place, she deliberately lay farther away from Xiang Ye.

After Xiang Ye knew that Mengsu was a woman, he was embarrassed to get too close to her. The two of them got together for four or five steps, and each found a relatively clean place to lie down.

There was no quilt, and they didn't huddle together to rely on each other's body heat to keep warm. When the chilly wind blew at night, the two of them curled up into a ball, sleeping very unsteadily.

Xiang Ye was so cold that he couldn't stand it, he got up suddenly, rubbed his hands, moved closer to Mengsu, and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

Meng Su closed his eyes tightly and ignored Xiang Ye. In fact, she was not asleep either. The cold wind penetrated from the hem of the dark clothes and caressed her whole body, causing goose bumps all over her body.

"I know you haven't fallen asleep." Seeing that Mengsu didn't speak, Xiang Ye seemed to be talking to himself: "It's such a cold day, and you sleep outside, it's strange that you can sleep. In my opinion, it's better to be here Frozen to death, it is better to walk some more and see if there is a place to stay."

Mengsu closed her eyes, but she also took Xiang Ye's words seriously, curled up in the wild like this for a night, even if she didn't freeze to death, she would definitely not be able to sleep soundly.

"Are you going or not?" Seeing Mengsu ignoring him, Xiang Ye stood up and patted the dust on his body, turned around and made a gesture to leave: "If you don't go, I can go."

"Wait for me!" As soon as he took two steps forward, Mengsu turned over and got up, trotting two steps to catch up with him: "I'll go with you."

Xiang Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, secretly smiled a little smugly, and strode forward.

It is not very convenient to walk in the dark, not to mention that the two of them are not walking on a road but in a field overgrown with wild grass, so it is even more difficult to walk.

The two walked forward for more than two miles with one deep foot and one shallow foot. Not only did they not find a place to camp, but the weeds under their feet became deeper and deeper.

"Oops!" Xiang Ye was walking when he suddenly heard Mengsu, who was falling behind him, scream.

He hurriedly turned his head and looked back. Mengsu, who was walking behind him, disappeared and went to nowhere.

"Mengsu!" Knowing that Mengsu is a woman, Xiang Ye no longer called her "Mr. Meng", but he also couldn't speak to call him "Miss Meng". After living for more than 2000 years, he always felt that "Miss" The two words meant some personal attacks, so I had to call her by her name directly.

Xiang Ye, who originally thought that Mengsu had disappeared, heard Mengsu's voice from the grass after the words fell: "I am here, there seems to be someone here."

Xiang Ye followed the sound and took a few steps back, and by the moonlight, he saw Mengsu squatting in the deep grass, and beside her lay a man in dark clothes.

"He seems to be alive." Mengsu looked up at Xiang Ye, then stood up and patted the dirt on his body when he was tripped by someone lying on the ground, and said lightly, "Let's go!"

Xiang Ye ignored her, but knelt down and stretched out a finger to touch the nose of the lying man, then looked up at the dark sky, without saying a word, stretched out his hand and picked up the man's nose. neck, lifted him up and carried him on his back.

"We're all running for our lives. It's easier for people to catch up with you." When Xiang Ye carried the man on his back, Meng Su's eyes were a bit complicated, and there was a bit of admiration in her beautiful eyes. Somewhat worried.

"He's still alive." Xiang Ye twitched the man on his back, turned his face and said to Meng Su: "If you leave him here, I'm afraid he will freeze to death tomorrow morning. Let's take him away. Of course it’s good to save lives, even if we can’t save lives, we have done our best to help those in need.”

"I don't see that you are still such a person." Meng Su showed a sweet smile to Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye's unhappiness towards her wanton and frivolous the night before was immediately dispelled by his righteous deed of saving people.

Xiang Ye carried the man he had picked up on his back, and Meng Su walked on the grass with one foot deep and one foot shallow, until the sky was bright, and they still couldn't find a place to stay.

At this moment, the man on Xiang Ye's back may have given him some vitality because of the temperature of his back, so he said softly "um", his lips moved and said: "Water, water!"

Xiang Ye looked around, and there was no sign of water in the vast grassland around him. When the man mentioned the water, he and Meng Su also felt a little dry, but he still turned his head and softly comforted the man behind him and said: " Be patient a little bit, and there will be water later."

I don't know if the man passed out again or felt relieved after listening to Xiang Ye's comforting words. He didn't make a sound again, his head hung on Xiang Ye's shoulder, and he lay on his back like a dead dog, motionless.

The man's figure was considered very tall among the people of the Qin Dynasty. If he stood up, Xiang Ye, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, would be one or two points shorter than him.

Walking with him on his back, Xiang Ye didn't feel anything at first, but it was really hard for him to walk far.Meng Su on the side looked at Xiang Ye walking in the grass with one foot deep and one foot shallow, he hesitated for a while, and then said to him: "You have carried it so far, let me carry it for a while."

Xiang Ye turned his head to look at Mengsu, and said with a twitch of his mouth, "Forget it, you are a girl who walks with a big man behind her back, it is not good to be seen by others, don't be forced to marry him at that time. "

"I just carried him for a while, why did I marry him?" After hearing what Xiang Ye said, Meng Su frowned and asked with some annoyance as if he was belittled her again.

"Uh!" Xiang Ye was stunned. He was only thinking about Mengsu being a woman just now, but he ignored that it was not the descendants of Confucianism at this time, but the late Qin and Han Dynasties in which Legalism dominated the mainstream and other schools of thought secretly circulated. At the beginning, women at this time did not have the idea that if a man saw their body, they would not be married, so walking with a man behind their backs was nothing.

He smiled apologetically at Meng Su and said, "It's nothing, I just consider that you are a girl, and you must not have great strength. This guy is tall and big, and you can't carry it on your back."
