The Classic of Mountains and Seas Through Ancient and Modern Times

Chapter 2 The Man in White
Thinking in her heart, Lu Jiaqi couldn't help trembling in her calves, and without hesitation in her movements, she lifted her legs and ran.It's a pity that as soon as I turned around, I didn't know what was entangled in my feet, and my body rushed forward in inertia, and I was dragged into the grass before I could react.

Where did Lu Jiaqi experience such a thing, there was only one thought in her mind: I'm going to die, I'm going to die.Crying uncontrollably: "Help, help!"

It didn't take long for Lu Jiaqi to see what was entangled with her. She saw the slender and dry branches tightly entangled her ankles, and it didn't take long for her to climb up to her thighs.Lu Jiaqi shouted desperately while struggling to break off dead branches.

But those branches looked dry and devoid of moisture, but they couldn't stop breaking. It didn't take long for the hands to be cut several times, and the bright red blood quickly stained those dead branches.

Just when Lu Jiaqi thought she was going to be strangled to death by dead branches, a white figure suddenly descended from the sky, and at the same time a silver light streaked across the night sky.Lu Jiaqi instinctively closed her eyes and screamed. If she read it correctly, the light should be a knife or a sword or something. Wouldn't she die now?
I don't know how long it took, but the imaginary pain did not come, but the physical restraint seemed to be gone.Lu Jiaqi opened her eyes cautiously, but was stunned by the man in front of her.

I saw the man in his early twenties, his slender figure standing there tall and straight like a pine, wearing a loose white robe, probably too white, and there was a faint white light emitting in the night.

Her black hair was disheveled, her sword eyebrows were slightly raised, her temples were cut like knives, and her slender Moyu eyes looked at Lu Jiaqi with deep but distant eyes.There was a slight smile on the thin pink lips under the tall bridge of the nose, and the whole person seemed to have a warm temperament.

It was Lu Jiaqi, a nerd, who didn't know how to describe it for a while, but a word flashed in his mind-a gentleman is like jade.But I feel that this word is not enough to describe the man in front of me.

Lu Jiaqi has always been a good girl in the family, she has never been in a relationship, and she doesn't know how to appreciate men, but this man in front of her surprised her for the first time.

According to the plot development of ordinary novels, the man in front of her must have something to do with her. At this time, should she stand up in a timely manner, salute like the people in the TV series, and say shyly: "Thank you for saving my life, my lord. The little girl has nothing to repay, she just asks for a promise with her body."

Lu Jiaqi shuddered at the thought of landing, forget it!She was disgusted by herself, and in the end Lu Jiaqi wiped her face with her arm. Because she was wearing a skirt, her arm was bitten by mosquitoes with blisters: "Thank... thank you!" Lu Jiaqi trembled a little because she had never been frightened before.

The man in white looked down at her slightly, but saw a human girl in a strange dress.The thin lips parted slightly, and a deep but pleasant voice sounded: "Did the girl eat something?" Otherwise, the woman in front of him would have been split in half with his sword just now.

"No...no," Lu Jiaqi folded her arms and shook her head. She hadn't eaten all day.

"Really?" The man's voice was somewhat alienated, "Has the girl ever eaten a white ball?"

"Meatballs?" Lu Jiaqi was taken aback, then nodded, "So it's really meatballs!"

The slender eyes of the man in white narrowed slightly, with a sneer in his heart. He originally wanted to scare this ignorant mortal, but he thought it was okay, he didn't have that interest.

It's a pity that I spent a lot of effort to get something into a human's mouth for nothing: "Then I wish the girl good luck."

As he said that, the man turned around and left, how could Lu Jiaqi let him go, after finally meeting someone, if she didn't seize the opportunity, wouldn't she have to die in this barren mountain?

Although she is not a person who can let go, she also knows the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. If they can't let go, they will die. Wait!" Lu Jiaqi gestured to grab the corner of the man's clothes.

The man blinked calmly, obviously disgusted by Lu Jiaqi whose hands were covered in blood.

"Handsome guy, please take me down the mountain!" It's better to go to a place with people than to stay here.

"Why should I take you down the mountain?" The man crossed his arms and looked at her playfully.

"I..." Lu Jiaqi opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, right!She has no money or power, so why should they take her down the mountain?But if she didn't go down the mountain, she would die on the mountain alone. Gritting her teeth, Lu Jiaqi said, "I...I can wash your clothes and cook for you."

"Laundry and cooking?" The man snorted lightly. He had inediad thousands of years ago. As for the clothes, can a dirty human being touch them?Thinking of the man turned around and left.

Lu Jiaqi thought that the other party agreed to her, and couldn't help being a little overjoyed.After following the man for a while, the man suddenly turned around with a serious expression on his face.Soon the rustling sound came again. Lu Jiaqi thought it was those dead branches again, but she didn't expect a few light blades to fly and looked directly at the man.

The man had no time to dodge, and several cuts were opened on his body in the blink of an eye, and the blood instantly stained the white clothes.Damn, if the inner alchemy hadn't been taken away, he wouldn't have ended up in such a mess.Thinking of the man no longer hesitating, he pulled Lu Jiaqi who was following behind him to stand in front of him: "Don't be afraid, you have eaten white balls, these blades can't hurt you."

Sure enough, when those light blades came flying again, a burst of white light glowed from Lu Jiaqi's body, covering the two of them.Lu Jiaqi was naturally surprised for a moment: "Is this an enchantment?"

The man paused for a moment, then raised his lips: "You know the enchantment?"

"Guess!" Lu Jiaqi smiled awkwardly, but she also realized something, "You are using me to protect you!"

"So what?" The man didn't care, "You ate my hard-earned treasure. It's enough for me not to let you go. You're not happy just to protect me? Or, do you want me to cut you off?" Take out your stomach yourself?"

When Lu Jiaqi heard the slicing, she immediately shook her head numbly, and asked doubtfully, "Is that white meatball yours?"

The man nodded lightly, but he felt a little funny in his heart, mortals are mortals after all, and he didn't even think about it, if he could move her now, would he let her follow him?A mortal is a fool without a brain after all: "Aren't you going down the mountain? I can take you down the mountain, but you have to follow me." At least until he finds his inner alchemy.

"Do you control food and housing?" Lu Jiaqi blurted out, she really cares about this now, she is really hungry.

The man looked at Lu Jiaqi for a while, and it was really troublesome: "It's up to me, but you have to do it yourself."

"That's fine," Lu Jiaqi replied readily, "Is there anything to eat, I'm very hungry now."

food?The man hesitated for a while, how could there be food on him?But seeing that she was very hungry, the man still touched her body, and soon handed a white flour steamed bun to Lu Jiaqi: "Do you want to eat?"

Anyway, she ate all the white balls, so she wouldn't care too much about it!

Lu Jiaqi was really hungry, so she didn't think about it, she picked it up and gorged herself.But why this steamed bun is as fishy as meatballs, but also has a salty taste.

The man really didn't want to tease Lu Jiaqi, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw her wrinkled face. He was really ignorant and dared to eat anything, but he just had to eat enough.

"Let's go!" The man took out a handkerchief to wipe off the mucus on his hands, and strode away. Lu Jiaqi only thought he was a clean freak.

"Hey, handsome guy, were those monsters just now?" Lu Jiaqi followed closely.

"Yeah!" The man nodded.

It turns out that there really are monsters in this world!Lu Jiaqi suddenly remembered the question Chen Wei asked her. Unfortunately, she didn't know if she could go back in this life. If she did, she must tell Chen Wei that there are monsters in this world.

However, the most important thing is to take the road ahead: "Hey, handsome guy, my name is Lu Jiaqi, what's your name?" She is not a relaxed person in the first place, so she can't keep calling others handsome guy shamelessly!
The man glanced at her: "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

"Well, what dynasty and place is it now? And what's your name? You can't keep calling him handsome!"

"The 34th year of Wanguo," the other party looked at her, "Handsome guy is a strange name, what does it mean?"

"It's a name for someone who looks good," but now it seems to be called handsome guy for men.IWC?It really is a dynasty that I have never heard of.

The man suddenly smiled when he heard the words: "You can call me son, or handsome guy!"

Lu Jiaqi lost her footing and almost fell down, slandering in her heart: Fuck, this man is so narcissistic: "Okay! Handsome guy." Forgive her for not being able to call out the word son.

"Well, what do you do," Lu Jiaqi asked before feeling inappropriate, "I mean what do you do? I just saw you knock that dead branch away. Are you an exorcist? Or a fairy? Or are you actually a fairy in the sky?" Lu Jiaqi pointed to the sky.

The man stopped suddenly, his slender eyes flashed an inexplicable expression, and he continued walking without answering her words.

However, as a high school student who had never seen the world, Lu Jiaqi obviously didn't realize that she had offended the other party, and instead kept on chattering endlessly.Suddenly, the man turned around, flicked his fingers slightly, and Lu Jiaqi couldn't make a sound for an instant.

Although the ball can block fatal injuries, it has little effect on these innocuous little spells or the pain spreading from the body: "Next time you make such a noise, I will cut off your tongue."

Lu Jiaqi's face immediately turned pale. Why is this person like this? It doesn't mean that she cut her stomach or cut her tongue. It stands to reason that anyone who can beat monsters should be a good person, but this person is strange.

Who knows, Lu Jiaqi was wrong at all, and she was wrong too much.

Seeing that her expression had changed, the man nodded in satisfaction and undid the spell on her mouth.

Lu Jiaqi didn't dare to speak out this time, but followed the man step by step.But Lu Jiaqi felt a little regretful in her heart, maybe she shouldn't have met this person at all.

　Allow me to complain about the rotten white clothes on the street, haha!
