Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 399 Get out of the cage
Mingzhu didn't know about Li Wenxuan's plans, and the weird person had intentionally violated Mingzhu before, so Mingzhu was naturally cautious. Seeing that Li Wenxuan was going to sleep, Mingzhu was even more angry, but she and Li Wenxuan had no friendship at all. There are quite a few vicious enmities between them, and Ming Zhu would not tell Li Wenxuan not to go to sleep to protect herself. If she does not say such things for the time being, Ming Zhu will not be able to say it, and even if Ming Zhu pulls her face to say it, Li Wenxuan may not If you agree, most of the time, you can only make Mingzhu feel ashamed.

Mingzhu had no choice but to stare straight at the strange man, and secretly made up her mind that after the Japanese recovered from their wounds, she would call the people of Yanyun Shibaqi to smash this strange man to pieces for her. part.

In the middle of the night, the night style in the woods is cold outside, and the wind is twisting and circling in the forest, no matter how tight you shrink, there will always be waves of mats pouring into the collar and cuffs, even if Li Wenxuan has internal protection body, but still woke up from the cold.

Li Wenxuan meditated and exercised, his body was less warm and dispelled a lot of cold air. Then he looked around and saw that strange man was still snoring and sleeping very sweetly. He was ignorant of the cool wind of the night. They are all in the open air, and once you get used to the cold, you won't be afraid of the cold.

Looking at Mingzhu again, Mingzhu was still sitting on the stretcher in the same posture as before, her eyes were wide open in the direction of the strange man, and she didn't realize that Li Wenxuan was occupying her side.

Li Wenxuan thought it was funny, but he didn't expect Mingzhu to be so afraid of that weird person.Shaking her head, seeing that the fire was about to go out, Li Wenxuan added some branches to the fire. Mingzhu saw Li Wenxuan, gave him a look full of resentment, and then continued to stare at the strange man.Li Wenxuan originally wanted to persuade her to sleep, but seeing Mingzhu's expression, he felt that it would be better for him to speak less, but seeing Mingzhu's fear, Li Wenxuan finally couldn't bear it, so he took out the Qingshuang Sword and thrust Qingshuang in front of Mingzhu's body .

Ming Zhu failed to snatch Li Wenxuan's Qingshuang Sword several times before, so she fought hard for this, and Ming Zhu almost killed Li Wenxuan. Seeing Li Wenxuan put the Qingshuang Sword in front of her, Ming Zhu's eyes lit up immediately, Li Wenxuan knew that she was thinking again, so he reminded her: "The Qingshuang Sword is only for your self-defense, return it to me after dawn, if you still want to play with it, don't blame me for being rude!"

Mingzhu had already reached out her hand to touch the Qingshuang Sword that she had been thinking about for a long time, but when she heard Li Wenxuan's cold words, she felt a pot of cold water poured on her head, her arms suddenly became stiff, and she stopped there without moving forward or retreating. .

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Wenxuan woke up and went to see what was going on with the weird man, and saw that he also woke up early, not only did not come to disturb himself and Mingzhu, but hid far away in a tree ten feet away , looking around for a while, scratching itchy for a while, she looks like a monkey, but she is still honest. Looking at Mingzhu again, Li Wenxuan couldn't help but find it funny. I saw Mingzhu holding the Qingshuang Sword in one hand and protecting her chest with the other. The other was leaning against the big tree, with a faint layer of dark circles on his eyes. It looked like he had been staring at that strange man last night, and fell asleep until he couldn't bear it any longer.

Li Wenxuan didn't bother to wake her up, he just moved his muscles and bones a little, and felt that the injury on his ankle had healed up a lot.

After a while, Li Wenxuan was hungry, so he went to fetch the fruit on the stretcher. Li Wenxuan moved lightly, for fear of waking Mingzhu up, but unfortunately, the fruit happened to be pressed by Mingzhu's waist, and Li Wenxuan went to get it It is indeed a little inconvenient, so I had to give up after much deliberation.

But when he raised his head, Li Wenxuan inadvertently swept across Mingzhu's face, and saw that the black gauze covering Mingzhu's face seemed to be much lighter than before. At the same time, it is so thick that people can't see through it at all. Except for a pair of icy eyes exposed on that face, nothing else can be seen. But looking at it today, the black veil covering the face is only a thin layer. Behind the black veil The hidden skin is faintly visible, and at the same time it also sets off the round face of the pearl.

"She was born with smallpox, so there should be many pockmarks on her face..."

Li Wenxuan was thinking, but out of curiosity, he couldn't help but look twice more. The outline of Mingzhu's face was faintly visible in front of his eyes. Although it was not very clear, it looked like it was flat everywhere. The pockmarked face, and the blurry appearance made people feel that she was a very beautiful person. Li Wenxuan was not lustful, but the more he couldn't see some things, the more itchy he felt in his heart. He couldn't help but get closer, wanting to see To be clearer, but just when I stepped forward and pressed my palm on the ground, a piercing pain came from my palm, and Li Wenxuan softly called out: "Ouch!"

Last night, Mingzhu was always worried that the strange person would come back and invade her. Suddenly, she heard someone yelling in front of her, she immediately opened her eyes wide, thinking it was the strange person who came, but unexpectedly it was Li Wenxuan lying in front of her.

When Li Wenxuan saw Mingzhu wake up, he naturally looked at her, and suddenly realized that it was very inappropriate for him to appear in front of Mingzhu like this, and it was really unreasonable for him to want to see the girl's face just now, so he blushed immediately, and Mingzhu Seeing that Li Wenxuan's face was flushed, he even felt that Li Wenxuan had malicious intentions, swung his sword like Li Wenxuan stabbed him, and shouted: "Shameless!"

Li Wenxuan hurriedly jumped back, but fortunately Mingzhu was inconvenient and couldn't catch up. Li Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard someone clapping his hands while laughing, and there were a few strange screams in between. It turned out that the strange person saw Li Wenxuan making a fool of himself It turned out that Mingzhu inserted several silver needles upside down into the soil in front of the stretcher before falling asleep. Those who were guarding against that strange person, who knew that Li Wenxuan was foolishly tricked. Fortunately, those poisonous silver needles were in Li Wenxuan's arms, and the needles on Mingzhu's body were all non-toxic, so it didn't matter if she was stabbed once.

Li Wenxuan pulled out the silver needle, then stood up straight, trying to straighten his face, and then said to Mingzhu: "Just now I just... just wanted to get some food, I didn't intend to offend, you must not Misunderstand……"

Mingzhu snorted lightly, holding the Qingshuang Sword tightly, obviously not believing Li Wenxuan's words.

Li Wenxuan walked a little closer and said, "If it's light today, let's eat something first, and then start our journey. The road in this forest is very difficult to walk, and the forest has no boundaries. We'd better start early."

Mingzhu still sat upright and didn't speak. Seeing Li Wenxuan approaching her, the Qingshuang Sword in her hand used even more strength, as if she was always on guard against Li Wenxuan. Li Wenxuan was very embarrassed, coughed twice, and said: " You... move, the food is behind you..."

Mingzhu bit her lip, paused, but finally got up, and threw the bag of fruits to Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan took two pears in his hands, then took another one, and carefully put them in Mingzhu's hand, but Mingzhu gave Li Wenxuan a sideways look, picked up the pears, but didn't eat them, but threw them far away.

The weird man kept watching their every move. Seeing Mingzhu throwing a pear out, he immediately clapped his hands and was overjoyed. Someone else snatched it from him.

Seeing this, Li Wenxuan felt quite helpless. Originally, he wanted to get the Qingshuang Sword back this morning, but seeing Mingzhu's expression, he held the Qingshuang Sword tightly, without any intention of exchanging it. After all, Li Wenxuan was curious to see Mingzhu's appearance, otherwise he would not be misunderstood by Mingzhu. Although it was a lie, no matter whether Mingzhu believed it or not, Li Wenxuan himself was sincere and guilty, so he couldn't ask for the sword for a while, and he was even more embarrassed. Yong Qiang had no choice but to hang the food on the stretcher and said: "Whenever you are hungry, take it yourself."

Li Wenxuan continued to pull Mingzhu towards the east, always on guard against her back, but fortunately Mingzhu's anger seemed to subside a little, and she did not stab Li Wenxuan with Qingshuang again.

Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu were in front, and the strange man followed them all the time, but he was never within ten feet of the two of them, especially when he saw Mingzhu raising his hands and feet with murderous eyes, he hid far away Far.

Li Wenxuan was wary of this strange person at first, but after a long time, he felt that although this person was crazy, he had no malicious intentions. What happened in the cave before, now that I think about it, most of the things that happened in the cave were caused by this person. On Mingzhu Road, he didn't speak a word, but with this strange man by his side, he didn't seem so lonely. From time to time, Li Wenxuan would throw some food to the strange man, and the strange man was always very happy, rushing to Li Wenxuan grinned, but Mingzhu was very angry when she saw this.

In this way, Li Wenxuan took Mingzhu on the stretcher, followed by the strange man, and walked eastward for two days, but he still couldn't see the end of the forest. Fortunately, there are a lot of wild fruits in this forest, and birds and beasts such as pheasants and badgers are also common. Li Wenxuan At this time, although the kung fu has not fully recovered, it is not difficult to kill a pheasant to satisfy the hunger with a long sword in hand, so Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu are not hungry, and the strange man naturally has a lot of glory, but the strange man Every time she ate something from Li Wenxuan, she would bark her teeth, as if to thank her, but Mingzhu ate it when she was happy, and simply threw the things from Li Wenxuan aside when she was not happy, let alone a half-thank you.

After traveling eastward for another three days, Li Wenxuan climbed to the top of the tree and looked out. He saw many houses in the distance, and there was a big town in front of him. He was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "There is a town ahead. We can finally go out!"

Li Wenxuan was very happy, but Mingzhu didn't respond coldly, the strange man was looking around, as if he didn't understand what Li Wenxuan was talking about at all, Li Wenxuan didn't care about them, immediately pulled Mingzhu up, and walked towards the direction of the town at a faster pace .

A ray of light finally appeared in the dense forest, and when Li Wenxuan came out of the forest, he took a deep breath, feeling very comfortable in his chest.Then he walked forward for a while, and there was a small road in front of him. He turned up immediately and went to the small town along the road. After a while, the small town was in front of him. Li Wenxuan looked back at Mingzhu, Mingzhu didn't see any joy, Li Wenxuan I don't care, anyway, I'm used to Mingzhu's coldness, but when I went to see that strange person, I don't know when he disappeared, let alone where he went, but Li Wenxuan didn't think it was strange, after all, that person Delirious, now out of the woods, east, west, north, where can the weirdo go?I just secretly thought that no matter who it is, if it is entangled by that weird person, it will be bad luck.

Li Wenxuan dragged Mingzhu into the town, immediately attracted countless gazes, no matter men or women, old or young, all looked at Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu.

Only then did Li Wenxuan remember that when he came these days, the clothes on his body were already in tatters, and he couldn't even cover his body. A strange-looking stretcher is naturally very awkward.

Li Wenxuan felt that the most urgent thing was to quickly buy two sets of clothes for himself and Mingzhu to change into, but just when he thought of this, he yelled that it was terrible. When Li Wenxuan left Yuezhou, he only had a few taels of silver with him. After meeting Mingzhu and his party, A few taels of silver were also thrown into the unknown river, how could there be any silver on him at this time?
Li Wenxuan frowned, and suddenly remembered the things on Mingzhu's body. They seemed to be of great value. She must have a lot of silver, so he wiped his face and said, "You...do you have any silver on you? We The shape of the two of them is really embarrassing, and it is very inconvenient to attract a lot of attention along the way."

Mingzhu opened her eyelids slightly and said, "Sight? Just kill them!"

"You!" Li Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, restrained his anger, and said kindly: "Your injuries are not serious, and I can't drag you on the ground like this all the time. If you have it handy, I can buy it for you. A carriage comes, if the money is not enough, a cart will do, I will push you away."

Mingzhu pondered for a while, and said: "I never carry silver with me when I go out."

Li Wenxuan was stunned and didn't know what to say. A rich man like Mingzhu didn't have any money on him, but since Mingzhu said so, Li Wenxuan could only sigh.

With empty sleeves, only Li Wenxuan can handle it easily, but it is very different to carry Mingzhu. If there is no money, the road is really not convenient. Thinking about it, he said: "Yes, this tiger skin under your body should be able to exchange for some silver. It is not difficult to buy a cart, and maybe there will be a lot of surplus."

Li Wenxuan was about to pick up Ming Zhu and take off the tiger skin, but Ming Zhu grabbed the tiger skin with one hand and said, "No way!"

Li Wenxuan persuaded: "I'm doing this for your own good. Sitting on that cart is much more stable than you sitting on this stretcher on the ground."

Mingzhu continued to shake her head, but still said: "No way!"

"Oh, that's all!" Li Wenxuan sighed, there was nothing he could do about her, so he had to continue walking. At this time, the two of them had nothing to eat, and now they were in the town, and there was no game to catch in the forest to satisfy their hunger. Li Wenxuan suddenly felt helpless, and only felt that it would be more convenient to stay in the woods when he came to this town, secretly thinking that it would not work, he had to find a county seat quickly, and "borrowed" a few hundred taels of silver from the county magistrate, but Li Wenxuan But he didn't have much confidence in his heart. Now his lightness kung fu and body skills are not as good as before. If he accidentally gets trapped in the government, it will be even more troublesome.

Li Wenxuan continued to walk forward with a sad face, when suddenly something was thrown from behind him, Li Wenxuan caught it immediately with sharp eyesight and quick hands, and saw that it was Mingzhu's torch knife, Li Wenxuan was about to inquire, when he heard Mingzhu behind him Said: "This may be worth some silver."

Li Wenxuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Okay, but... is this fire knife of yours dead or alive?"

Mingzhu asked: "Isn't a pawnshop just selling things? What does it mean to pawn?"

Although Mingzhu has traveled the rivers and lakes for a long time, other trivial matters are taken care of by other companions of Yanyun Shibaqi, so Mingzhu doesn't know much about many mundane things, and it's not her turn to go to places like pawnshops Yes, chasing the moon and chasing the wind and others will definitely not be embarrassed to come to the pawn shop to pawn things for money, so when it comes to life and death pawns, Mingzhu is naturally unclear, so Li Wenxuan said: "Pawn, you give things to the shopkeeper. , the shopkeeper will give you silver, and within a few days, you can redeem the item if you give the shopkeeper some more silver. If this is the case, the item can be sold for more silver, but after it is sold, the item will be sold again. I won't come back either."

Mingzhu said: "Don't you have no money? You should die."

So Li Wenxuan asked a passerby where the pawnshop was, and took Mingzhu straight to the pawnshop. Although the fire knife looked good, Li Wenxuan felt that it was only worth more than 30 taels of silver, at most not more than 50 taels, but when it arrived at the pawnshop , the pawnbroker watched for a long time, seeing that Li Wenxuan was a foreigner, and he was in tatters. Looking around, it turned out that there was a cold silver light shining on his face outside the door of the pawn shop. After a closer look, it turned out to be the sword light of the Qingshuang Sword in Mingzhu's hand. The gentleman wiped his sweat, but he is also a veteran, no Lu Cozy still asked with a smile: "Brother, what price do you want for this thing?"

Li Wenxuan only thought that this fire knife was a good thing, but he didn't quite understand how much it was worth, and it was a pearl, so Li Wenxuan didn't want to talk nonsense. Seeing Li Wenxuan's hesitation, the gentleman obviously didn't understand the goods. Immediately, I was overjoyed and said, "50 taels! How about it?"

Li Wenxuan was quite satisfied in his heart, but he still turned his head to look at Mingzhu, not knowing what she meant, but Mingzhu suddenly swung his sword, and pierced a transparent hole in the door of the pawnshop with one sword, Li Wenxuan frowned secretly, did not expect her to be so He likes to cause trouble, and he is too unreasonable.
