Rebellious officials bow their heads

Ye Liuzhou heard the commotion and asked, "What happened?"

"You stay here." Xu Yan only said this, and turned to the other side with a sinking face, "Zhou Yuan."

Zhou Yuan took a few field stone rings from his hands and threw them to him. The two of them ran towards each other quickly without making eye contact.

The crowd was packed, and Xu Yan stepped on the wooden pillar and jumped up. When he fell, he stepped on the shoulders of several people and strode forward. .

Xu Yan didn't stop for a moment, and kicked on the docked boat by the lake, flying up like a giant bird, his clothes fluttering, and his figure flew across the lake for several feet in an instant.

He raised his hand before he fell down without losing strength. The black wire shone with icy silver light, and flew away in the air, entangled the prow of the boat in circles, pulled hard, and carried Ah Zhong and several others. The child's boat moved to the left and immediately avoided a collapsed wooden pillar.

Immediately afterwards, the huge wooden frame made a creaking and breaking sound, and a huge shadow covered it and slammed heavily on the few people on the boat!

In any case, it was impossible for Xu Yan to quickly pull them out of the range of the wooden frame at such a short distance.

The children cried out in horror when they saw the falling logs. At this moment, the intertwined wooden frame suddenly stopped in the air!Maintaining a state of wanting to sway, he swayed and scattered countless flying ash.

Zhou Yuan by the lake grabbed the rope that had fallen off the ground. The rope was supposed to go deep into the ground to prevent the scaffold from collapsing, but it broke unexpectedly.Holding the rope tightly, his whole body was dragged several steps, and two long marks appeared under his feet, only then did the collapsed wooden frame temporarily stop in midair.

Vibrant veins popped out of his hands, and he used all his strength to support himself. A circle of villagers recovered from their panic after seeing this scene, and hurried forward to pull the rope together.

Here Xu Yan stood on a floating board, and used black wire to pull the boat out from under the wooden frame, but the surrounding frame poles shook more and more, and fragments of wood fell into the water, causing the lake to rise and fall. The shadow fell, and a child sitting on the side of the boat fell into the lake in a bump, splashing countless water!

There was a cry of surprise from the shore, Xu Yan pulled the boat away, then jumped into the lake, submerged in the floating wooden blocks, found the child who had fallen into the water, carried him upstream, and emerged on the lake. head.

But at this moment, the wooden frame tilted in the air broke into two halves with a terrifying creaking sound!The light was instantly submerged, and the blackness fell down. Xu Yan's position was already at the edge, and he could leave within a few steps.

While the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, his ears were buzzing, Ah Zhong shouted in panic, "Brother! Be careful—!"

Xu Yan raised his head abruptly, a sharp wooden pillar descending towards him from above was reflected in his pupils——

He was holding the child in his arms, surrounded by a lake, there was no way to avoid it.

On the bank a few feet away from him, Ye Liuzhou was crowded by the crowd, with almost no place to stand, and only confused roars and exclamations could be heard in his ears.

He managed to stand still, and without hesitation, he tore off the cloth strips that bound his eyes. The flash of light made him close his eyes, his eyelashes trembled violently, and he opened them after a few breaths. I saw the collapsed wooden frame and Xu Yan under the ruins.

Seeing that the broken wooden pillar fell down with sharp wooden thorns, he turned his eyes and looked around, and found that there were bows and arrows hanging on the pavement not far away. He stepped forward to take down the bow and set the arrow!

The tip of the arrow pointed at the wooden pillar, Ye Liuzhou squinted his eyes, and the action was done in one go, the bowstring in his hand was loosened, and the arrow leaped out like a broken bamboo, cutting through thousands of air currents, and slammed into the wooden pillar!

Xu Yan narrowly escaped the wooden pillar that could have nailed him through, and the wooden frame behind him fell down with a rumble. He fell ashore surrounded by everyone, and handed the child in his hand to his weeping mother.

The children on the boat climbed down one after another, and Ah Zhong hugged Xu Yan tightly, looking like he was about to cry out of lingering fear.

Xu Yan patted his head and asked Zhou Yuan to check for him if Ah Zhong was injured.

Holding the arrow tightly in his hand, with a vague expression on his face, he turned and walked in the direction of Ye Liuzhou.

The opponent was still standing there, his bright red robe was crumpled by the crowd, and even the cloth strips that bound his eyes became crooked, his face was ignorant of the surrounding situation.

He seemed to have heard approaching footsteps, and he turned exactly in Xu Yan's direction, "Xu Yan?"

"En." He responded, and paused when his eyes swept across the ground, the Qiqiao fruit in the paper bag was scattered all over the ground, covered with dust.

"What happened?" Ye Liuzhou asked.

Xu Yandao: "The wooden frame fell and almost hit Ah Zhong and the children. Fortunately, Zhou Yuan and I went there in time and nothing happened."

When he said this, he stared at the expression on Ye Liuzhou's face.

Ye Liuzhou frowned slightly, and asked, "Ah Zhong isn't injured?"

"No." Xu Yan lowered his head, twirling the bow and arrow with his fingers, "You stay here and wait for me at the stall, I'll go and ask what's going on at the wooden frame first."

"Okay." Ye Liuzhou nodded.

Xu Yan didn't take a few steps, and suddenly turned around, looked at the other party and said, "Your cloth strip is about to fall off."

Ye Liuzhou subconsciously touched the cloth in front of him, and then Xu Yan left.

He returned to sit by the wooden box, touched an unfinished paper umbrella, unfolded it, and was thinking about it, when a clear female voice came from behind and asked tentatively: "Are you Xu Yan's friend? Are you?" Do you know where he went?"

It was Miss Liu.

Ye Liuzhou turned to her and smiled slightly: "He said he went to ask about the wooden frame."

Miss Liu said, "Your eyes?"

"A little problem." Ye Liuzhou said, "What can you do with him?"

Miss Liu was silent for a while, then sat down beside him, the people on the street had thinned out, and the fallen leaves were scattered on the green field, she said: "I want to ask Xu Yan if he intends to marry me. "

Ye Liuzhou was taken aback by the girl's honesty.

"But it seems that he doesn't have this idea. Here, if there is someone he likes, the other party will send a paper umbrella as a proposal, but Xu Yan only uses the paper umbrella to make money." Miss Liu shrugged.

Ye Liuzhou smiled and asked her, "Do you like Xu Yan?"

Miss Liu said: "Just now, if you see Xu Yan saving people, you will like him. Besides, he is the man with the best conditions in the town. To tell you the truth, I have known him since I was a child, but at that time he was the same as him. It's completely different now."

Ye Liuzhou asked curiously, "Why is it different?"

Ms. Liu probably felt that the other party couldn't see her, so she didn't have to worry about anything, as if she had found a chance to talk heart-to-heart, she chattered: "When Xu Yan first came to the town when he was a child, he didn't talk to anyone, and he only hid in Mrs. Xu's house when things happened. At that time, Mrs. Xu was seriously ill and could hardly survive, so he followed the village doctor to identify herbs, decoctions and so on..."

Ye Liuzhou frowned deeply, "How old was Xu Yan at that time?"

"Ten years old... He left later, and he was like this when he came back." Miss Liu thought for a while and said, "I still remember the first time I saw Xu Yan. He was covered in injuries. I heard it was his father. I can't even imagine it being done by hand..."

"what……?

"

Ye Liuzhou wanted to ask again, when Xu Yan from the conversation between the two came back, looking at the two of them with gloomy eyes, and said coldly, "What are you talking about?"
