[Cat and Mouse] Jianhe

The twilight is dimming, the sun is fading away, and Zhu Xia is shining.Thousands of miles of white snow connects the sky, weaving a vast expanse of white silk.

The little hand clasped the handle of the hatchet tightly, the blade trembled slightly, and fell from above with all its strength.With a crackling sound, the firewood separated along the most central star point, and the firewood body fell to both sides.As soon as Bai Yutang let go of his hands, the hatchet, which was already on the verge of falling, fell into the soft snow, leaving only the shiny and cold light on the tip of the knife.Her legs softened and she sank into the snow together with the blade, her fair and clear cheeks were pink, and her small mouth opened and closed, panting for breath.

Instead of lying on the snow like Bai Yutang and unwilling to get up again, Liu Qing leaned over and picked up the last few pieces of firewood, and stacked them aside.Just as he was about to tell Feng Suqi, he saw Zhan Zhao, a nimble swallow, leap into the air three times.Liu Qing couldn't help being a little dazed by the superior lightness kung fu that can be encountered but not sought after.After realizing that Zhan Zhao was approaching, he put down the stick in his hand and called out, "Elder brother."

Zhan Zhao greeted Liu Qing with a slight smile, and went to look at the little doll curled up in a soft ball.But the little guy didn't realize it, and simply lay back and rolled on the snow.

"Junior brother must be exhausted today, I have never seen such a desperate person," Liu Qing whispered in Zhan Zhao's ear, and then said goodbye.

Desperately, according to this little guy's temperament, it is only suitable to be angry.Zhan Zhao shook his head, bent down and said: "Since you still have the strength to roll, get up quickly."

Bai Yutang stopped rolling, and stared at Zhan Zhao who was covering the sky with his bright peach eyes.With handsome and moist facial features, his long hair is not tied up, and it blows away with the mountain wind.Cursing his lips, Bai Yutang cast a sideways glance and said clearly, "No."

"Be careful of catching a cold," Zhan Zhao said slowly, looking at the little jade doll who had almost melted into the snow, "The medicine is strong and bitter, and you have to drink it three or four times a day. I guess it will take effect after taking it for seven or eight days." There was a slight smile in his eyes, but he looked treacherous from any angle.

The thick words made the little guy blink his eyes, the bitter words made his lips twitch, his body trembled as soon as he repeated the words three or four times, and after seven or eight days, he punched Zhan Zhao's face.Zhan Zhao stretched out five fingers to ask Jun to enter the urn, and easily wrapped the little guy's little hand into the palm of his hand, "Aren't you up yet?"

With his body relaxed and lying on the snow, Bai Yutang's eyes were bright and he said softly, "I'm tired, I can't get up."

Zhan Zhao pretended to sigh, and wrapped Bai Yutang's hand tightly, and with a little more force, he easily pulled the little guy up.Bai Yutang didn't move and let Zhan Zhao play with him, but when he was about to straighten his body, the corner of his mouth raised to reveal a small pointed canine tooth.The well-behaved little mouse stretched out its claws and fangs in an instant, and fell backwards straight up with all its strength.How interesting it would be if the dignified senior brother was pulled into the snow by the junior junior brother.

Unexpectedly, Mo's height increased by one foot and ten feet higher, and Zhan Zhao seemed to have anticipated the change. He dragged his arm to the side and then yanked his chest violently.So Bai Yutang failed to calculate but was calculated, and staggered and fell into Zhan Zhao's arms.Having seen the little guy's mischief, Zhan Zhao didn't dare to strangle his wrist casually, and flexibly pulled and rolled his hands to wrap around his small shoulders.

"Dead cat, let go!" Bai Yutang said angrily, annoyed at being unable to break free.However, Zhan Zhao didn't pay any attention to it, and just led the people forward.With his neck still able to move, Bai Yutang turned his head to face Zhan Zhao's palm that was wrapping around his shoulders, his slender fingers were clearly knuckled, and the vigor and heroism of a martial arts practitioner could be seen at a glance.He opened his mouth, showing his sharp white canine teeth, and bit down on the index finger of this annoying hand.

It was too late to guard against being caught by the rat's teeth, Zhan Zhao suffered the pain but didn't make a sound, and escaped from between Bai Yutang's lips and teeth lightly with his fingertips.Inadvertently touched the soft and nimble tip of the tongue, and the wet touch was engraved on the skin of the fingertips.He didn't say a word, but held him tighter.

There are still tooth marks on the index finger, a row of thin and dense, so deep that the blue veins can be seen from the concave.Bai Yutang secretly looked at Zhan Zhao, who had not changed his expression, then raised his hand and tried to bite it.The vertical and horizontal veins in the fingers are sensitive to the touch, and the teeth feel piercing pain when touched.Bai Yutang hurriedly pretended to be nonchalant and took off his hand, carefully sneaking a sideways glance at Zhan Zhao.It seems that it hurts from biting, this cat won't be really angry.

After being speechless for a while, Bai Yutang felt guilty after all, he gritted his teeth lightly and asked tentatively, "Cat?"

"Well," Zhan Zhao kept walking, and walked half a step forward calmly to avoid the harsh wind and frost.His eyes stretched into the distance, not bordering on Bai Yutang.

There was another silence, only the cold wind swept away from far and near.Bai Yutang frowned lightly, his lower lip was crushed and rolled by the small teeth on the upper part, and he opened his lip awkwardly: "Does it... still hurt?"

With a chuckle, Zhan Zhao stopped and turned over the little guy's body, and lightly tapped the tip of his delicate nose with his bitten index finger. "Yutang, are you... caring about me?" Satisfied to appreciate Bai Yutang's expression from bewilderment to enlightenment and finally to fierceness, that jade-carved cheeks are still radiant even after thousands of expressions.

Bai Yutang slapped Zhan Zhao's hand away, turned around and ran away.After all, he had been chopping firewood for several hours, his foot was unstable and he staggered, and he became weak after running a few steps.However, Zhan Zhao followed unhurriedly, like a cat teasing a mouse, Bai Yutang clenched his fists and continued running with a sigh of relief.

"Yutang, it's wrong, it's over here..." Zhan Zhao said helplessly as he easily caught up with the panting little guy.

"I want you to take care of it!" Bai Yutang glared viciously, and pushed heavily on Zhan Zhao's chest with both hands.Zhan Zhao didn't move at all, but Bai Yutang took two steps back.Seeing that he was not Zhan Zhao's opponent, Bai Yutang turned his head towards the path leading to the dense forest and said, "Then tell me, where does this path lead to?"

This is a winding path, but this time it is covered with white snow. If you don't distinguish carefully, you can't see the end of it.Zhan Zhao knew that Bai Yutang was trying to make things difficult for others, but since he was a child in Tianluan, he knew everything about Tianluan, if not everything.With just a glance, the uncontrollable smile became a bit dignified, and he said slowly: "This path leads to Zhenlong Valley."

Recognizing the subtle variables in Zhan Zhao's words, the little guy clung to it, blinked his big eyes and asked, "Is Zhenlong Valley fun?"

Hesitant to speak, Zhan Zhao laughed at himself and said, "Forget it, if you keep it from you, according to your temperament, you will have to find out even more." Lightly flicking on Bai Yutang's black hair, Zhan Zhao restrained himself. Going to have fun, he said: "Yutang, you promise me. If I'm not here, you can't go to Zhenlong Valley alone."

This is obviously not right, you cat will not be able to follow grandpa all your life, this is restricting grandpa's freedom.Just as Bai Yutang was about to protest, he touched Zhan Zhao's eyes that had faded away from the teasing and condensed thousands of words.Clear and moist as water, scorching hot like fire.The little guy calmed down, and he couldn't bear it for some reason, and nodded like a ghost.

Zhan Zhao brushed off some snowflakes on Bai Yutang's lapel, and smiled gently. "The word "Zhencang" comes from the game of chess, which means a game that is difficult to break. In the depths of Zhencang Valley, there is a formation that has never been solved by anyone for thousands of years. Its name, Xinsu Fifteen formations."

"Xinsu fifteen formations?" Bai Yutang became interested, and walked along the path regardless of the numbness all over his body. "Mao'er, since you are with me, why don't you take a peek at what's going on?"

Keeping up with Bai Yutang's pace, Zhan Zhao lightly touched his forehead and said, "Even if we go, don't expect to be able to break the formation. Back then, Han Ziyi, the 26th head of Tianluan, was proficient in Qimen gossip and spent his whole life It is not yet possible to find a solution. It is rumored that the last words of the head of Han before his death are that the fifteen formations of Xinsu are a dead end."

Bai Yutang rolled his eyes, and Qing Lingling's voice spread in the dense forest, "A dead end can only be solved by death, or it can't be solved until death."

In the depths of the dense forest, there was a soft sound of rustling, intertwined with the snow falling on the branches.The wind blew, and the snow on the branches rustled.

These words caught Zhan Zhao's attention, no one had ever guessed the word "death" like this.Seeing this little guy's high spirits, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but smile: "Even if Yutang wants to break through the Fifteen Forms of Xinxin, he must first learn martial arts and Qimen Dunjia. , I don’t know if I can find out the position of the formation.”

"Smelly cat, don't think that you can beat around the bush and laugh at grandpa just because you've been in Tianluan for a few years because of your age," Bai Yutang once again showed his shiny minions.

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, where did he learn this accent, and where did he connect it with ridicule.Recalling the previous words over and over again, at most, it's just laughter, not ridicule.

Bai Yutang was aggressive, "Don't think that you can bluff people just because you are a disciple of the sect master, even a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire can't stop Grandpa."

The rat must have been suffocated by some stimulus, and had to find an excuse to vent.It is clear that it is unreasonable to make trouble, no matter how you look at it back and forth, it feels far-fetched.Zhan Zhao quietly stared at the little guy who was about to jump up and down, secretly feeling that he was so energetic, he was still alive and kicking after chopping so much firewood.

The cold wind blows, bringing a few snowflakes.

Zhan Zhao, who had been smiling just a moment ago, changed his expression in an instant, his eyes were shining brightly, even when he was concentrating on fighting the enemy, his warmth was as moist as water.The upper body leaned forward, the long sword on the back was unsheathed, and the hilt fell into the palm of the hand accurately.With a clang sound, it was like a phoenix chirping long before a potential dragon leaves an abyss, grand and neat.

A sword stabbed obliquely with branches and leaves as barriers, swift as the wind and extremely ingenious, the tip of the sword swirled and used nine moves in a row, directly aiming at the center of Zhan Zhao's eyebrows.Although it was just an ordinary iron sword, it clanged abruptly in that man's hand.The echo from the tremor of the sword immediately suppressed Zhan Zhao's posture.

Zhan Zhao's heart was terrified, he could be judged based on the strength of this sword, this person's sword skills are not inferior to Yan Xilai, head of Tianluan's sect.When and where was the powerful enemy recruited, and what kind of purpose did he have when he touched Tianluan unknowingly.Fortunately, this sword was not aimed at Bai Yutang.Concentrating his mind, Zhan Zhao flicked his wrist, and screamed out with a move of "Green Bamboo Yiyi", protecting the vitals of his face.

A sword breaks through the branches full of Qiongyao, and the wind moves with the shadow like flowing clouds.The sword wind lifted the forest trees, and the person who released the sword sat cross-legged on the branch, bending the branch with the strength of the upper body and the chest.This branch is new in recent years, and it bends under this amount of pressure without breaking like a bowstring.When the tip of the branch drooped slightly, the man suddenly sank and stabilized himself.

Bai Yutang's reaction was not as good as Zhan Zhao's admonishment, and he quickly took three steps back, causing the tip of the little black boots to be stained with white snow.Then put one hand on his chin and tilted his head to look.Left and right can't help much, it's better to be on the outside to see more clearly.

I saw that this person was about thirty years old, with long raised eyebrows, high nose, and long hair that was unkempt.He was dressed in green cloth, with a thin rope tied around his waist, and a wine gourd about half a foot long hung from it.A short piece of dead vine is attached to the mouth of the wine gourd, and the thin waist in the middle is polished smooth and shiny.This man sat on a slender branch like a rock, with his left hand resting on the side of his knees and legs, and the sword in his right hand waved at will, and the sword was flying.

Zhan Bi Qi Ao, green bamboo Yi Yi.Zhan Zhao's mind is as calm as water, and he doesn't panic, the blade of the sword is slanted in front of the door, and his wrist is slightly turned outwards, which can be turned into a stab at any time.It's like cutting like learning, like cutting like grinding.As long as the opponent's moves are settled, he can turn defense into offense with a flash.

The man let out a soft "Huh", and straightened his originally lazy back.The mouth of the wine gourd on the waist is tilted, and the withered vine hangs loosely.Then he twisted his wrist, [-]% of his internal strength was released halfway, and the remaining [-]% used a word wrapping formula, wrapping around Zhan Zhao's long sword like a long snake.

With only half strength left, Zhan Zhao immediately let go of his hands and feet.The internal force of the whole body circulates for three weeks, and the swordsmanship is as sharp as grinding to deal with the word wrapping formula.One goes up and down the other, this is a situation of struggling to resist, but immediately it is easy to defend and attack.

The man looked more and more surprised, and his long eyes stared at him motionlessly.Xu Shi felt exhausted, so he added [-]% of his strength to the half-stroke of the sword master, and gained the upper hand again.He only used his right hand to wield the sword blindly, and his whole body was still sitting firmly in the hollow of the branch with his legs crossed.The sword was quickly drawn out with multiple moves, and there was a bit of ruthlessness in the wind, but it was upright and upright.

Bai Yutang looked left and right, and saw that the two of them were not fighting each other, and they were not fighting desperately, so he bowed his body and said lazily, "I won't do it myself today. Cat, this person will hand it over to me." I leave it to you." With a tender and soft voice, she wanted to put on an old-fashioned look, putting on airs intentionally or unintentionally.
