female catcher

The night wind stirred the flames and rolled the flames, and the firewood made a crackling sound. There were summer stars in the night sky of the camp, insects humming, snoring, and beasts screaming, but there was no sign of them.

Nangong Biluo was fascinated by the fire, the flames were swaying in those deep eyes, the capital was more than three thousand miles away from Yizhou, and on the second day of the trip, he encountered a robbery and had a fierce fight. I don't know what sudden situation will happen after that. I am afraid that the closer we get to the southwest region, the more dire the situation will be.

The man who had the accident in Beijing was called Ma Tao, and he also went to Yizhou for business. I don’t know if he took the same route?And Master Wang, I wonder if there will be any progress?

Although Nangong Biluo was thinking, her long career as a police officer had sharpened her five senses. When she moved her ears, she heard a slight movement. When she looked over, she saw Cao Yu'an who got off the carriage. She watched Cao Yu'an come up to him suspiciously. Asked: "Did I wake you up just now, or can't you sleep?"

Cao Yu'an sat down next to Nangong Biluo, and said softly, "I didn't fall asleep."

"Then why did you come outside? I was frightened again today after the exhaustion of the journey. You should rest more, or is it uncomfortable on the carriage?"

Cao Yu'an pursed her lips and shook her head, "Yeah~ The carriage is much better than the tent. I can't sleep, I want to sit outside for a while, watch the night scene in the forest, and chat with you, these are all new to me, no Does it affect you?"

A strange color flashed across Nangong Biluo's eyes. She shook her head while maintaining her smile. She picked up a broken branch and threw it into the fire. She looked away from Cao Yu'an and looked at the fire. rest well."

Nangong Biluo looked up at the night sky, and said meaningfully: "The journey is very long, it's a pity to miss some scenery, but there will definitely be more beautiful scenery ahead, which will make you happy and memorable for a lifetime."

Cao Yu'an was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Nangong Biluo's side face in a daze for a moment. She wanted Nangong Biluo to know the things she kept in her heart, but she was afraid that she would know. It was so contradictory.

Cao Yu'an's smile was a little stiff, she collected herself and took out the Gold Creation Medicine, and reversed Nangong Biluo's words just now, "Actually, I'm staying up right now to get this for you."

"Huh?" Nangong Biluo glanced sideways and saw the small box in Cao Yu'an's hand, "This is it?"

"Jinchuang Medicine." Cao Yu'an playfully shook the box in his hand.

"Gold Chuang Medicine? Why would you think of giving it to me?" Nangong Biluo asked, clapped the sawdust in his hand, took the Gold Chuang Medicine from Cao Yu'an, opened the box and smelled it.

"The medicine was given by Boss Feng. He said that you probably hurt your palm. If she is too tired, I will pass it on to you."

"Boss Feng?" Nangong Biluo was more vigilant than happy when she heard that Feng Piaoxu had noticed her injury and asked Cao Yu'an to see her off, but she remained calm in front of Cao Yu'an and said with a smile: "Indeed It's a little worn out, but it's okay."

"Then why don't you deal with it quickly? Show me your hand." Cao Yu'an took the initiative to take Nangong Biluo's hand, and Nangong Biluo still clasped his fists.

Nangong Biluo frowned slightly, but did not immediately withdraw her arm, but spread her palm.Cao Yu'an looked at Nangong Biluo's palm, although it was not serious, but it was full of small bruises, some were bloodshot, and some were scabbed, so he said distressedly: "Hands will be used at any time, so it's hard to rub against the wound, right? How can you let it go if you are injured? Come, I will help you with the medicine."

"I don't want to let it go, it's just that I don't have time to take care of it. You haven't treated the wound before. You have to pick the scab off before you can apply the medicine. I'll do it myself."

Nangong Biluo withdrew her hand as she spoke, then took out a dagger from her boots, roasted it on the fire, opened the scar on the palm of her hand, and smeared it with Jinchuang medicine.Cao Yu'an watched anxiously, but Nangong Biluo didn't make a sound, instead she took a few breaths, and didn't mention the matter of giving Nangong Biluo medicine again, because she was afraid of not handling it properly, and also fearing that it would hurt Nangong Biluo.

Seeing her appearance, Nangong Biluo smiled and said: "If you are afraid, don't look at it, don't you want to see the night scene? Look, the night sky here is brighter than the capital."

Cao Yu'an was diverted by Nangong Biluo, the Milky Way was reflected in his eyes, and his expression relaxed, "It is brighter than the capital city. When I was in the capital city, I had already returned to my room at this point, and I couldn't see such a night scene."

Seeing that Cao Yu'an was already attracted by the starry sky, Nangong Biluo stopped talking and concentrated on treating the wound. He quickly applied the medicine, put away the medicine box, and continued to watch the fire.

After Cao Yu'an came back to his senses, he saw Nangong Biluo picking up the fire with a long branch, and the light of the fire shone on her face, calm and peaceful, but Cao Yu'an still felt a kind of loneliness, even though he was sitting beside her, But did not step into her world.

"When you sleep in the wild, are you always this quiet? Is it lonely to walk in the rivers and lakes?"

Nangong Biluo glanced sideways and looked away, looked at the fire and shook his head with a smile, "Walk in the rivers and lakes, when you are alone, you will think about things quietly or play the flute. When you are with Shui'er, you can either listen to her talk, or Just discussing the case, even if you don’t talk, it’s just tired of running around. Loneliness is a state of mind. I think everyone will be lonely sometimes, but I rarely. What’s more, there are so many people in the camp now, how can I be lonely. "

Cao Yu'an smiled. Some loneliness is the more people there are, but she didn't say it. At least she believes that loneliness will not make Nangong Biluo dusty, but will make her more dazzling. Some people in this world are stars, and some People are the moon, some people are the sun.

There are many stars, many are bright, but few are lonely; the moon is high and clean, lonely and noble, excellent but cold.

sun?Whether the sun is good or bad, Nangong Biluo must be that beam of gentle sunshine, which makes people feel at ease and shines brightly.

"Actually, why didn't you listen to Boss Feng's stabbing bull to the armpit today, maybe you can subdue him faster." Cao Yu'an asked the question again.

"It's not easy to practice the golden bell cover. The door is broken and the martial arts are useless. I have already noticed it when I hit Niu Ben's armpit, but Niu Ben and the others are not vicious. Even if there is robbery, they have never killed anyone. They can be recruited into the army. , wouldn’t it be better to defend the country with all your martial arts?”

"It's good, but they still robbed the women." Cao Yu'an had a heart.

"Speaking of this, the method used by bachelors to find a wife is indeed inappropriate, but most of the women they snatched back stayed voluntarily, and those who were unwilling were also let go. Huo Tian also taught those women who were let go to say They escaped by themselves to preserve their reputation."

"Is there such a thing?" Cao Yu'an was a little surprised, "Speaking of which, they still have the rule of not stealing married women."

Nangong Biluo's expression was stagnant, and he suddenly sighed, "Ah~ Actually, this rule was made by the members of the Sirius Gang for Niu Ben's sake, for the indelible wound in Niu Ben's heart."

Nangong Biluo slowly told the story of Niu Ben.

"Niu Ben is a reckless man. He has a bad brain since he was a child. He is strong and strong, with a ferocious face. His parents died early and he was lonely. No woman would fall in love with him. But Huo Tian's cousin Huo Ling They are childhood sweethearts, and Huo Ling is older than them. Because poor Niu Ben was lonely, he took special care of Niu Ben. Gradually, he was moved by Niu Ben's straightforwardness and kindness, and made a relationship with Niu Ben. Huo Ling Niu Ben's parents also agreed, but asked Niu Ben to come up with a thousand taels of dowry before worshiping at the church. Now Niu Ben, who can't read a lot of Chinese characters, was in distress. At that time, the imperial court was recruiting soldiers from them, so Huo Ling suggested to let him Going to join the army with Huo Tian, ​​I thought that with Niu Ben's skill and Huo Tian's help, I would be able to make great achievements, but who would have thought—"

Cao Yu'an was engrossed in hearing this, and when she saw Nangong Biluo suddenly stopped, she asked, "Who knows what?"

There was more gloom in Nangong Biluo's eyes, and his expression became serious, "I don't know that the commander-in-chief who led them at that time was a mediocre person who relied on connections. Not to mention the deduction of soldiers' pay, while suppressing capable soldiers, he also asked them to do some things. If you don’t do the thing of defrauding the people, you will be beaten severely. Niu Ben is dull and capable, so he became the first target of bullying by the general soldier. Niu Ben endured it for Huo Ling. He is very helpful and does not ask for anything in return in the barracks Huo Ling won a lot of hearts, but because of the delay in making meritorious deeds and even having no savings, Huo Ling's parents regretted the marriage and married Huo Ling to someone else. He was driven away without even seeing Huo Ling, and he went back to the barracks disheartened, was punished and beaten, was devastated, and lived a chaotic life for five days without eating, drinking or talking."

"Five days later, Huo Tian came to him with red and swollen eyes and told him that Huo Ling died, on the day she got married. When Niu Ben heard this, he ran out of the barracks like crazy, but the chief soldier stopped him. He left, Niu Ben was already weak at the time, and was beaten by the underlings ordered by the chief soldier. Huo Tian and a group of brothers who were protected by Niu Ben couldn't stand it anymore, so they rebelled and fought against the general soldier. Get up, during the chaos, Huo Tian accidentally killed the general soldier, they simply turned back out of the barracks, and ran to see Huo Ling for the last time while protecting the bull."

"Huo Ling committed suicide by taking poison. The suicide note only said, 'I was born as a Niu family and died as a Niu family ghost'. Her parents felt ashamed and asked Niu Ben to take Huo Ling's body away. Niu Ben paid homage to Huo Ling's body. Hall, buried her, and erected a monument. The family members of the dead general reported to the officials, and the officials sent people to arrest them deserters. Huo Ling is dead, and Niu Bensheng has nothing to love, but Huo Ling's parents are still there. If he didn't take care of them, he discussed with Huo Tian. A group of brothers who escaped from the military camp simply wandered the world with their families. Since then, they have become bandits and established the Sirius Gang. Because Niu Ben was too kind and unwilling to kill people and sell goods, they changed hills one after another, and they came here to settle down at the beginning of this year. Unfortunately, they robbed me."

Nangong Biluo smiled with the corners of her mouth to soften the sadness in her eyes.

"The leader of the Sirius Gang is Niu Ben, and Huo Tian is in charge. He doesn't rob married women just because Niu Ben's wife was robbed. Niu Ben, a fool, doesn't want others to suffer like him. , and even less willing to bully women, so the Sirius Gang has some special rules. These are what Huo Tian told me on the way. "

After explaining the reason of the incident, Cao Yu'an's eyes were already red. She didn't expect such a story about that fierce giant Niu Ben, and she also didn't expect that the Sirius Gang is a group of such flesh and blood, affectionate and righteous people.

"I didn't expect it to be like this. Huo Tian and the others shouldn't go to jail. The damned one is obviously the chief soldier. You should let them go."

Nangong Biluo raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Yu'an, hiding the struggle and pain in his expression, and said calmly: "The chief soldier is dead, and I will report his family and the government army involved at that time to Mr. Wang, but Niu They can't let it go because of this."

"But--"

"It's nothing. It's about time for you to go to rest. You have to hurry tomorrow. Don't let this story affect your spirit tomorrow."

Cao Yu'an was at a loss for words, and sighed faintly, "What about you?"

"I want to close my eyes and meditate, you go back to the carriage."

"Okay, you should also rest earlier." Cao Yu'an stood up helplessly and returned to the carriage.

Nangong Biluo looked at her back, sighed and shook her head, after Cao Yuan got into the carriage, Nangong Biluo took out the box of Jinchuang medicine again.

The flame flickered, she held the box and looked at it for a while before putting it away.

Boss Feng, you can find out my injury, why don't you bring the medicine yourself?

Nangong Biluo closed her eyes and fell into samadhi.

The next day, a group of people broke out from the camp at Maoshi, set off at Chenshi, and continued to Yizhou in the morning dew.

This time there was one more Qingqing in the carriage, but the five of them were quieter than before. Wang Feiyan and Ling'er hadn't rested well, Feng Piaoxu and Qingqing didn't talk much at all, and Cao Yu'an had a melancholy expression on his face, which made everyone feel sad. Feng Piaoxu had to pay attention.
