Wing On Tune

It's probably a knife, stand hand.jpg

The night wind whistled in his ears, and the flames flickered as he galloped. Chang An stared at the footprints on the ground and ran all the way.

The rain had stopped, and there were occasional drops of water from the trees falling on the torch, making a sizzling sound. He was now like a piece of red-hot iron, sparks would burst out at the slightest sound, and leaves were constantly being crushed by his ears. The rustling sound of the wind was like the movement of a giant python walking by.

Chang An didn't have time to think, or even to be afraid, he felt as if he had swallowed burning coals in his throat, which made his heart hang, and the footprints on the ground extended into the darkness, and at some point he had already rushed into the frightening forest.

The overwhelming night made the light from the torch seem insignificant, and Chang An finally found the catkins that had fallen under the tree.

The woman was in a mess, her dress was splashed with mud, her embroidered shoes were also stained by the mud, and she was lying under the tree with disheveled hair. Chang An was still in a state of anxiety, and rushed over, carefully brushing away the muddy hair, shaking his hands He checked the woman's breath, but fortunately, although it was weak, she was still alive.

Feeling a little more at ease, Changan was soon overwhelmed by another kind of fear. Changan didn't have time to hesitate. The medicine powder sprinkled a thick layer on Liu Xu's body, and he tried his best to carry the woman on his back.

The shadows of the trees not far away are shaking. Changan remembers that the shopkeeper said that there are bushes at the entrance of the forest, and many passing teams will pull some leaves and put them on their bodies. The beasts in the forest hate that smell. It's a smell that beasts won't get close to easily.

He dragged the catkins to the direction of the bushes, trying to find a place that could completely cover up his aura as soon as possible while the smell of green grass was strong. Fortunately, the catkins didn't run too far, as long as they could get out of the forest, they would at least be half safe .

Changan did not give up the torch, and moved forward with difficulty while using the torch. The source of the fire cannot be lost at this moment. I don’t know what will happen during this short distance. Now if he abandons the torch, he will lose half of his defense. Concentrated on escaping, she didn't notice that Liu Xu's hanging hand was dripping into the mud.

Something is staring at him!Hearing footsteps not far behind, Chang An laughed at himself in despair, misfortunes never come singly.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and even began to rush. He immediately put down the catkins, raised his hand and swung the torch towards the source of the sound, and immediately turned around to block the catkins who fell on the ground.

Just a few tens of meters away, they could reach the bush at the entrance of the forest.

The tip of his nose was filled with the smell of grass and soil, Chang An thought, he still underestimated the sense of smell of the beast, he only stared at the hunter at night, he felt coldness all over his body in that gaze, it was the eyes of staring at the prey.

The wolf let out a deep grunt, which seemed very strange in the silent forest, and the voice of the stone sounded in Chang'an's ear again, "Chang'an, you have to remember that no matter where you meet a wolf, if you have a torch in your hand, , must be firmly held, they are afraid of fire, every step they get close to you is testing the direction of attack, you can't back up, because once you back up, it will pounce on you."

After all, the torch played a deterrent role. When the wolf tried to move forward, the torch would go in that direction. It hid a few times and found that the prey was not easy to deal with tonight. It bared its teeth angrily and let out a low growl, trying to scare the wolf. Back to Chang'an.

It smelled the medicine powder on the prey, but it was mixed with bloody smell. It hadn't eaten fresh human flesh for a long time. At this moment, it was distracted and refused to give up. Soon it howled like a wolf, signaling to the surrounding companions how the prey was doing. location.

The figure flying at night was throwing off the difficult bird of prey. Hearing the howling of wolves, he felt bad and sped up the speed.

The wolves who heard the call nearby began to gather. Fortunately, there were not many, only three came, but it was still a fatal number for Chang An. He knew that he could not escape. By now, even his fear had disappeared. He stared, pursed his lips and tightly held the torch.

He never seemed to be able to call for help or cry out. He carried himself for too long and forgot that he could also show weakness. He only thought that even if he died here tonight, he would never let the wolves win too easily.

Seeing him running out, the shopkeeper probably wouldn't do nothing but at least hold out until someone came. He didn't look back, and he couldn't look back at Liu Xu. At this moment, he could only confront the wolves, and he couldn't relax in the slightest.

There were wolves pacing forward and probing all the time, with the sound of breathing and grunting in their throats all around their ears. Relying on their numbers, they are now more than capable, teasing the emaciated prey under their paws.

Chang'an waved the torch, and soon the wolf who appeared first lost his patience and rushed forward to try to hold the torch with his paws, but was hit by Chang'an in the head.

This dying struggle enraged the wolves, and they began to attack fiercely. Changan was finally defeated by the wolf claws and injured his arm. The clothes on his body, hands, and legs were quickly torn to pieces by the wolf claws.

He still refused to admit defeat, and the torch was in his hand. The instinct bursting out in his body at this moment made him unwilling to retreat half a step. In the end, a wolf slammed him down and knocked him to the ground. Bad wolf, at this moment, is unwilling to show weakness.

The next moment, a fan came against the wind and pierced straight into the neck of the evil wolf. The force actually lifted the wolf that was about to pounce, and the blood sprayed on the lapel of Chang An's chest in an instant. Panting in shock, he narrowly escaped death, and turned over neatly to check the catkins beside him.

When the figure jumped down from the tree, the movement of his hands didn't stop, and he sighed softly during the movement, "Catch up", when Chang An landed, he could only see the figure's broad back.

Chang An didn't even have time to distract himself to see how the other party was moving. He tested Liu Xu's breath, which was very weak. He sat on the ground and supported Liu Xu as a pillow on his body. When he turned his head, he heard the wolves fell to the ground whimpering. .

The opponent knocked down several wolves without any effort. The figure walked to the side of the wolf whose neck had been cut by the fan, and pulled out the fan from the wolf's neck.

Chang'an was in a daze, unbelievable, why did the fan have such power?I saw the man casually hanging the fan on his body, not caring about the wolf's blood on his clothes, he dodged over, and squatted neatly in front of Chang An, "Su Ye... the innkeeper asked me to come and find you , let's go back first, the wolves may still be gathering in this direction at the moment."

While speaking, he raised Liu Xu and hugged Liu Xu horizontally, and slightly bent his legs with his back to Chang An, "Come up, I'll take you back faster."

Without hesitation, Chang An jumped lightly and put his hand on the shoulder of the visitor. The whole person lay limply on the opponent's back. The visitor was scalded by Chang An's body temperature, but he moved quickly and looked down at the person in his arms. The woman frowned, and quickly pricked Liu Xu's body a few times, but it was still too late.

This time it was much faster. When we arrived at the inn, it was still dark. Su Yi and Shitou were waiting. Seeing the visitor with serious expressions, knowing that the situation was not good, Shitou hurried into the room with the things he had prepared. On the way, I was restless, always feeling that something was wrong, and when I put Liu Xu on the bed and lay down, the anxiety became even worse.

Su Ye entered the room slowly at this moment, walking in a leisurely manner on weekdays, without looking carefully, he would not notice any inconvenience, "How is it, Zhiyuan?"

Ning Zhiyuan frowned and shook his head, he was speaking to Su Ye, but his eyes were on Chang An, "I sealed her pulse, come and have a look!"

Chang An was startled by the shaking of his head and this sentence, grabbed the handkerchief from Shi Shi's hand, and wiped off the mud on Liu Xu's face, only to find that the face was lifeless, the breath was still weak, but pale But his face made Chang An dare not think deeply.

Now in the brightly lit room, he discovered that besides the splashed mud spots on Liu Xu's cuffs, there were also crimson blood stains, which stained most of the sleeves and waist.

Su Ye paced over, ignoring the stunned Chang An, passed him and reached out to touch Liu Xu's neck, "There is still breath."

Chang'an moved when he heard the words, stiffly but gently lifted up the blood-stained cuffs slowly, and was held down by Su Yexu when his wrist was about to be exposed.

Seeing Ning Zhiyuan's expression just now, he knew it was too late, no matter what kind of wound he saw with his own eyes, it was too cruel, "Chang'an, don't look."

The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Ning Zhiyuan had a complicated look on his face, looking at the child kneeling in front of the couch, it looked like porcelain covered with cracks, it would completely shatter with just a light touch.

But after a while, Chang An firmly pushed away Su Ye's hand, and lifted up the cuff again, only to fully reveal the scratched hand.

Liu Xu seemed to have a will to die, and each of the scattered scratches was extremely deep. Judging from the degree of condensation of the wound, it should have started from the moment he walked out the door.

Su Yi paused, and then said softly, "After pulling out the silver needles on the side of her neck and temples, she can wake up for a while. Since she has lasted for so long, she must have something to say to you. This pill will be released after she wakes up." Feed her, and it will lift her spirits and talk to you."

Hua Luo first stuffed a pill into Chang'an's mouth, then stuffed another into his hand, then gave Ning Zhiyuan a look, and the three of them backed out.

Chang'an's mind was empty, as if he had been exhausted. He couldn't figure it out. Didn't she come here just to go to Huai'an? Why did she suddenly...

Scattered anxiety hit his chest, Chang An had a headache, he didn't hesitate for a long time, he pulled out the silver needle, no matter what, he had to ask clearly.

Liu Xu, who had been quiet for a long time, opened his eyes. Chang An fed the pills, but when Liu Xu recovered his strength, his eyes were red. The eyes of the woman on the couch were no longer crazy, and she looked at Chang An with gentle and kind eyes.

At this moment, I went back to a few years ago, she was still that soft-hearted mother, her soft voice was the same as before, with doting, but she said, "I'm sorry!"

Desperation instantly engulfed people, Changan's eyes were about to burst, but he couldn't believe it, "When I went out tonight, mother was sober, right? You didn't..."

It's just too ridiculous!Chang'an didn't even say it out, you didn't fall ill tonight, you were sober and killed yourself, but you gave up on me when I was still persisting.

He struggled to ask, "Why?"

Why don't you ask me if I want you to stay?Why do you want to give up on me when I clearly persevered and didn't give up on you?

But Liu Xu just repeated sorry, sorry from beginning to end.As if wanting to give him all the regrets of this life, Liu Xu raised her injured hand, stroked Chang An's cheek, and said in a vague tone, "An'er, I'm sorry for suffering so much!"

She didn't know how to tell Chang'an, since she dropped a needle on him a few days ago, she couldn't get rid of this thought, why did she turn herself into a devil and hurt her child like this, she was obviously a mother who loved her child, The lightning tonight reminded her of the first extreme, and it hurt her deeply.

What has she done all these years?She has been an idiot for several years for a promise that she knew would not be fulfilled.

She hates it!He hated the man who lied to her, and even more hated himself who couldn't let go.This should have ended long ago.Her child should live a normal life instead of carrying a terminally ill mad woman on the road, "Chang'an, don't carry...don't..."

It was difficult to breathe like choking in the throat, and Liu Xu took a few deep breaths, hoarse but eager, "Don't...don't go looking for it."

Her eyes began to fade, and her voice gradually lowered. Chang An knew that the time had come, and he could do nothing but maintain a kneeling posture and hold Liu Xu's hand, "Mother..."

Even when he was most frightened, he had never shown weakness like this before, he struggled aggrievedly.Liu Xu couldn't hear it anymore, she was persistently looking in Chang'an's direction, humming a tune, Chang'an remembered that it was a lullaby for lulling him to sleep when he was a child.

He buried his face deep in Liu Xu's palm, listening to the voice gradually weaken, tears kept pouring out and wet the wound on Liu Xu's wrist until the dried blood was dizzy and dripped down the wrist to the ground.

Chang An knew that the lying person would no longer feel pain.

Ning Zhiyuan and Su Ye were guarding outside the door, and heard the whimpering sound of a young animal coming from the room, which lasted for more than half an hour, and when it finally calmed down, with a bang, Chang An was exhausted and collapsed.
