The target of the assassination is the fox

When the man killed the bandit leader with a sword, I was still hanging high on the tree, with the hemp rope around my waist hurting.

Then she unhurriedly took off her hat and threw it on the body lying on her back, covering the man's hideous face.Then, he took off his face towel to wipe the blood stained on the dagger.Meticulous, focused and serious, as if he didn't notice that there was still a person hanging from the tree next to him.

But she couldn't have missed it.Because the moment before she appeared, the man was still threatening me arrogantly, saying that he would throw me off the cliff to feed the jackals.

I was annoyed at her intentionally ignoring her, and I waited reservedly for a long time, but I still didn't see her intention to let me go.I couldn't help asking: "Are you here to save me?" I have been robbed by these thieves for three days, and my father will definitely send someone to find me.However, such a young man was actually sent?Looks so unreliable...

Unexpectedly, when she was wiping her sword, she replied coldly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to save you."

——It seems to be mocking me for being sentimental.

"What?" I couldn't help but feel nervous when I was stunned.What does she mean by that? It's not about saving, does it mean...

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, and I won't engage in low-level activities such as looting and making money." When I had unconsciously clenched my lips, she said again: "It's just that I just want to take the life of this mountain bandit. Let's go later, and don't expect me to do any good deeds."

It's even more arrogant than a bandit!I was so ashamed and indignant by her words, but the current situation did not allow me to lose my temper, so I had to suppress my emotions and said: "If you save me, I will repay you."

"Return?" She didn't even raise her head: "A promise with your body, or a bounty?"

"Reward." I endured it and said, "As long as you can send me back safely..."

"I know how to make a deal." She interrupted me with a sneer, and the two sentences she said before seemed to be just deliberately funny: "Being greedy for this windfall money may cause big trouble in the end. I hate trouble the most .”

As he spoke, he put away his sword cherishingly, and slightly raised his head to look over.The twilight light cast on her face, giving the illusion of a glowing glow.

It was then that I finally saw what she looked like.Hmm... She is a girl with delicate features, red lips and white teeth, with a bit of childishness. She looks a few years older than me, with long hair neatly tied behind her head, and a Tsing Yi bunt dress.It's beautiful, but also annoying.

Ironically, am I a nuisance?Unforgivable!

At this moment, she was actually looking at me presumptuously, holding the sword sideways, and said slowly: "You look like a spoiled child of a rich family, and you are frightened by bandits hanging from a tree with a rope, but you don't cry."

"I won't cry!" The backlog of emotions crushed all restraint and patience at once.But after I sternly reprimanded, I found that my eyes were really sour.

That's enough.It's embarrassing.

Being taken captive to this unfamiliar place deep in the mountains and forests, being threatened and intimidated by others, and being isolated and helpless, no matter how uncomfortable I was, I could not show a trace of timidity, and I did not lose face, but now I was easily provoked by a stranger mood?And the other party is still an ignorant little girl!

Why hasn't my father sent anyone to look for me yet, and why does such a loathsome ghost appear to make me suffer this humiliation? !

Outrageous!

"Since your target is not me, get out of here quickly, or you won't end well!" I stared at her fiercely.She was not annoyed, but slightly raised the corners of her mouth, as if thinking about something.Then he suddenly drew his sword and picked up the knife that fell beside the bandit's corpse, and flung it lightly, the tip of the knife accurately cut the pulling rope and fell into the tree trunk.

"Ah!!" I fell down unprepared, and I screamed instinctively, but something firmly caught me before I fell to the ground.Opening his eyes uncertainly, he saw the girl's face close at hand.The smile that reflected Xihui made me shake my head, but it was followed by many inexplicable emotions.

"Oh, that's so loud, aren't you afraid of attracting wolves?" She put me down and bent down to untie the rope on me.When he looked up again, he showed some surprise: "Hmm, do you know how to cry now?"

"I didn't cry!" I said angrily, but I was taken aback by my crying.Then, the vision became blurred, as if covered by a ball of hot steam.It was only then that I realized that tears actually came out of my eyes, and the more I wanted to bear it, the harder it flowed.

After being stunned for a moment, she folded her arms and looked at me, a little funny: "Those who don't know think I bullied you."

Isn't it? !I've given up on myself and cried aloud, there's no one else here anyway.

It was the first time I felt so wronged.

"You, what's your name!" I asked sobbingly after crying for a while.He hated to think that when the people from the mansion came, he would take this guy back and put him in a cell, and after she cried and begged for mercy, he would drag her out and hang her on a tree for three days and three nights!

Unexpectedly, when I was wronged and out of control, this person could still laugh: "Puhaha, do you want revenge? Do you want to be so cute?" She took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and held it up with her hands naturally My chin began to wipe, and the cautious appearance was very similar to the movement of wiping the sword not long ago.

I was going to push her away.As the Princess of Dayue, how can I let a stranger approach me at will, and even touch my chin with his hand!However, when the veil was covered on my face, I suddenly lost my resistance.

It smells so sweet, a faint, unknown floral fragrance.Trapped in the den of thieves for the past two days and smelling too many men's stench, I almost vomited thinking about it.The scent lingering in front of the nose is really irresistible...

"Actually, there's nothing to be ashamed of." At this time she said casually.

I quickly recovered and reprimanded her: "Shut up!"

"Everyone wants to cry." She didn't care about my scolding at all, and continued: "You haven't reached the age where you can't cry, right? How many adults are secretly envious of being able to cry freely when you are unhappy? matter."

I couldn't help but startled.

Is it something that many adults envy... I have never heard such a strange statement.But... To put it bluntly, even if you are so embarrassed, don't think that wiping your tears and coaxing it will please you, hurry up and apologize with death!

I thought angrily, and my sobs subsided unconsciously.I tried my best to hold back, and finally recovered slowly.I glared at her with dignity, but before I could reprimand her, I was suddenly hugged by the person in front of me.

Hug it horizontally!

"You, what are you doing!" I thumped her shoulder in panic, anxious and angry: "Where are you taking me?"

"Don't move around." She muttered, and continued to walk away with me in her arms.The apparently slender arms are unexpectedly strong, no matter how hard I struggle, they are steady.

Hugging so tightly, if it weren't for the fact that they are both women, this person would be dead!

But even if they are women, they can't be so rude!Since I can remember, it's still, it's the first time I've been hugged by someone like this...

"I'll take you to the river to wash your face, you've turned into a little cat, so ugly." She started her lightness kung fu, stepped on the rocky wall and quickly descended: "It's rare for me to show kindness, don't you don't know what's good. "

I was almost laughed at by her, and when I accidentally glanced down, my scalp was numb with fright: "Hey, don't run so fast! There is a cliff next to you!"

"My lightness kung fu is very good, I won't fall you." As she said that, she turned and jumped up the pine tree, leaving the stone wall and running directly among the branches.I was so surprised that I forgot to speak.

To be able to practice such light kungfu at such a young age, if it wasn't for the instruction of a famous teacher, it was because of his extraordinary talent.But no matter what, it takes a lot of hard work, and I must have fallen countless times, and I have to grit my teeth and persevere until I am today.

Thinking about Qingshan's apprenticeship to a teacher to practice lightness kung fu some time ago, and the result was that he came back every day with a blue nose, a swollen face, and red eyes, and he knew how difficult it was.So this person has some merits, if his personality is not so annoying, he can barely be used by me...

I secretly raised my eyes to look at her, only to see her fair and clean side face.The lips are pink in color and feel soft, and the chin is pointed, but not too thin.I couldn't help but look a few more times.

She shouldn't notice my movements right now, right?I gently grabbed her collar with both hands, as if it felt more secure.

The wind blows away from the ears, and the clouds like white gauze blow towards the face.Occasionally disturbing some flocks of birds, they would flap their wings and pass us by, so close that we could see their small black eyes clearly-this feeling is very novel.

I remember when I was very young, some people from the rivers and lakes in the mansion who came to join my father flew over the walls to show their lightness kung fu. I even begged them to bring me to play. Unfortunately, my father watched closely. Whoever dares to take me with lightness kung fu will be interrupted by him. leg.Unexpectedly, my wish was fulfilled in this way today, and I also experienced the joy of a martial arts practitioner.

It's just... I looked under my eyes, still a little scared.

But I'm not going to put my arms around this guy's neck.

"Look, it's here." There was a soft call from above, with some joy.I looked up and saw the clouds and mist in front of me spread out, and suddenly there was a wave of light, which was as beautiful as an illusion in the sunset.

I was fascinated by it for a while, and when she let me down, I realized that I had put my arm around her neck at some point.

how so!I stepped back abruptly and walked to the river, and quickly scooped up a handful of water to wash my face.She didn't take it seriously, followed me to look at it, and said with a smile: "After washing it, she is still a beautiful child."

I was too lazy to be angry with this person anymore, but I still couldn't help but glared at her: "You are clearly about the same age as me, little girl." I deliberately bit down on the last three words.

"Heh." She didn't even reply after hearing this, just stood there leisurely with her sword in her arms, raising her eyebrows.The sparkling river water behind her reflected her slender figure, exuding a strange feeling.

I think she is very much like those herons walking leisurely by the water at this time, enjoying the surrounding scenery to their will, and when they get tired of stretching their wings against the wind, they can easily fly to other places, free and easy, without restraint.

Suddenly, I envied her a little.Because in comparison, I'm probably just a fragile bird in captivity.

"Here, do you want to eat?" At this time, she sat on the big rock behind her and took out an oiled paper bag from her arms.The layers were opened, and several round pancakes were neatly stacked.

I didn't expect her to bring food, because I couldn't smell a trace of food when I was held in my arms.Looking at the past, I was even more surprised, who would make the rations so neat, cut off all the uneven sides, stack them in the same size, and even the edges and corners of the oiled paper folded in half...

"What's your look? Missy has never seen such crude food?" She wrapped it in a paper and handed it over: "Here, the cakes I baked by myself can't be bought even if I have money."

The fragrance floats into the nose, very attractive.I was afraid that if I hesitated again, my stomach would growl, and I would be so ashamed and angry.So he took it with both hands, and sat next to her to eat together.It turned out to be delicious.

Is it because I'm too hungry? It's obviously just pancakes with potatoes and vegetables, so it's better than the golden shredded meat rolls made by Zhang Ma.The skin is crispy on the outside, but the inside is soft and chewy. The salty taste melts in the mouth, and a little bit of sweetness slowly returns to the tip of the tongue.

"Eat so slowly, be careful I'll snatch it from you." She had already finished one, and she didn't forget to tease me when she picked up the second one, "Although she is a lady from a wealthy family, she hasn't grown much meat on her body, so she holds a light weight in her arms." of."

I glanced at her, but bit her a bit.In fact, this person's heart is still kind, but his mouth is too bad.

"Hey, take me home." I said.The feet hanging by the stone swayed a few times, and the cool wind blew the hair and clothes, which was very pleasant.

"Is it far?" she asked.

"It's about a day's journey by horseback, and it's in Suncheon City."

"So complicated."

"I can pay you more."

"not interested."

... Forget it, you shouldn't have any good feelings for this person.

"Angry?" She tilted her head and looked at me: "Don't worry, you must stay here, and someone will come to you soon and take you home."

I don't quite understand her words.

"Actually, when I first came up, I found that the other side of the stronghold was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the army was dispatched. Presumably those people came to rescue you. And now they should also end the den of thieves and start going here. Look at the top of the mountain."

army?It must have been sent by the government!I was overjoyed, thought for a while, and said: "But in case they are late, those bandits came here first, wouldn't it be dangerous to stay here. At that time, you alone can protect me?"

"Why should I protect you?"

"you!"

"Pfft." She smiled wickedly, and after eating the pancakes, she went to the river to wash her hands, wiped them dry with a handkerchief, and said, "It's also thanks to you for recruiting those people that I settled the order so easily." Business. So treat it as a favor, and I won't leave you alone."

A single business... Is this person a killer?

Just as I was thinking, there was a sharp piercing sound in the distance, and then a ball of green light exploded in the darkened sky, which was very eye-catching.

It's the signal from the dark guards, and they've already found it.

"Let's go, I will carry you to find them." She seemed to understand something, tied the sword in front of her body, and then squatted down with her back to me.I was suddenly a little nervous, washed my hands and said, "No need, I... I can go by myself."

"Why are you shy? It's getting dark and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, so you're not afraid of falling into a corner of the mountain, or being bitten by a poisonous snake that sprang out halfway?"

... I obediently lay on her back.It's not spacious, but it's warm and solid.

Now the sky is getting darker, and the forest is even more dizzy and difficult to see, but she walks briskly, as if she can easily distinguish the road.Those who practice martial arts really have many conveniences.

I looked around.The roadside bushes were dark and eerie.Occasionally, when a gust of wind blows, there will be some strange noises, as if something is dormant inside.

It's hard to imagine where I would be without this person.Was he pushed off the cliff by the bandit and couldn't even find his body, or did he escape by chance and ran around in panic in this dark forest alone, desperately groping for a way out?

I couldn't help wrapping my arms around her neck.

She felt it, and turned her head and said: "What are you afraid of, there are no goblins and ghosts in this mountain. There are wolves, tigers and leopards, but even if one really pops out later, I won't let you get into trouble."

"I'm not afraid of anything," I muttered.For some reason, my heart was sore and swollen, and I felt a little uncomfortable. "Hey, you... what's your name?"

"I can't tell you that."

"why?"

"rule."

"Hmph." I'll find out if I don't say anything.I said in a muffled voice: "Hey, Shili Pavilion in the north of Shuntian City, five days later, on the third day of junior high school, you go to Shili Pavilion and wait for me. I will reward you well."

"Why do you want to go that day?"

"Go as you please." I poked the back of her head.I didn't want to tell her that it was my birthday or something.

"Oh." She replied casually.I heard some dissatisfaction, and I emphasized my tone: "Remember, you must go on time, and don't let me wait for you to know."

"Remember Miss."

I leaned on her shoulder and raised my lips unconsciously.

Hearing her subtle and regular breathing, and the rustling of insects around her, she gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up, I was already in the carriage. Mama Zhang stood by with tears in my eyes. Seeing me wake up, she rushed up to meet me, crying and laughing: "Little master, you are so worried about us."

I was dazed for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Have you seen a little girl in Tsing Yi who is about my age?"

"Little girl? No, when we found you, you fell asleep by yourself under the tree beside the road. Oh, you scared us to death at that time, why did you run there?" She opened the low table The food box: "How do you feel now, is there any injury? Are you thirsty or not, do you want to eat something? Sigh, I must have suffered a lot of grievances these days, ouch, I feel so sorry for me! Those who killed thousands of knives Yes, you actually dare to attack our Jin Palace..."

She choked up again as she spoke, but I was not in the mood to hear what was behind her.My heart sinks.

Although this is expected, I always feel a little lost.Hmph, say goodbye to me anyway, and leave me alone without saying a word.

If you dare to miss the appointment and not come to see me after five days, see how I deal with you!
