Jianghu Tired Brigade

This time I slept well, even a little too well.

It was pitch black all around, and there was no light to be seen, only the soft breath in the ears could be heard.The light and faint herbal fragrance floated from behind, lingering in the nose.

In such a hot summer day, such a distance is a bit hot.

There were subtle movements from the next room, the sound of someone closing the door and locking the door, it was soft and delicate, and if you didn't listen carefully, it was like the sound of a mouse running away.

Hong Xiao could hear it clearly, but she didn't pay attention to it. The remaining sleepiness made her lazy and unwilling to move.

As soon as the clapper of the third watch passed, there was a sound of tuk-tuk at the door.This was indeed the sound from the door of the guest room where Hong Xiao was staying. The sound was very careful, as if someone was tapping and caressing with the soft flesh of the fingertips.

Hong Xiao turned over lightly, and the movement did not wake up Xiangsai.

Opening the door, a black shadow fell in whole.

Hong Xiao was taken aback and dodged sideways, the black shadow fell on the spot and split into two groups.

The black shadow that was thrown fell on the ground, motionless, as if he had lost consciousness.Another black shadow struggled on the ground and let out a suppressed cry of pain.

Hong Xiao could hear clearly, quickly closed the door, and called out in a low voice, "Miss Bai?"

The man said in a deeper voice: "Miss Hong, hurry up, take the elder sister away!" It really was Bai Qing.

Hong Xiao asked: "What's going on?"

Bai Qing said: "Our enemy has been found, and the sisters are all injured. Those people are still looking for the trace of the senior sister, and they want to take the lives of our senior sister! I beg Miss Hong to take the senior sister away, if this time If he can escape alive, Bai Qing will not hesitate to die..."

Hong Xiao interrupted her with a "shh", and said: "I know what's going on, you should talk less and recuperate." Although she said she knew it, she didn't tell Bai Qing whether she was willing to help her. The sound sounded like it was going to the inner room.

Bai Qing didn't know what she meant, and was extremely anxious, as if he was suffering in a frying pan.But in this emergency situation, she didn't dare to call out to Hong Xiao, so she could only call silently in the dark: "Miss Hong, Miss Hong!"

Hong Xiao's voice sounded again in the darkness, and it was especially clear in this silence.Bai Qing was suddenly overjoyed, and felt that Miss Hong's voice was sweeter than ever before, and only heard Hong Xiao say: "Don't light the lamp, just follow me."

In the darkness, Bai Qing couldn't see clearly with his eyes wide open, but Hong Xiao's footsteps approached Bai Qing accurately, and her voice sounded not far from Bai Qing: "The one you brought , is it Miss Jin?"

Bai Qing was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and thought that in the darkness, Hong Xiao and the two might not be able to see clearly, so he suppressed his voice, and said with a little trembling: "Yes, yes, please Miss Hong take the senior sister away, go back Yueli Palace."

Hong Xiao's voice said: "Xiangsi, you take Miss Jin." There was a rustling sound in the darkness, Bai Qing couldn't see what they did, but he also knew that Hong Xiao's words meant that they were willing to save each other. The tension along the way suddenly eased, and she almost shed tears. At this time, she heard Hong Xiao say again: "Miss Bai, is there anything else I can do to help?"

Bai Qing choked with sobs and said: "Don't worry, Miss Lao Hong is leaving now, I'm here to hold off the pursuers."

Hong Xiao stopped rambling, and said softly, "Miss Bai, take care, there will be a meeting later. Acacia, let's go."

After the light sound of the window facing the street being pushed open, the house returned to silence, and there was no more sound.

Bai Qing reluctantly stood up from the room, fumbled to close the wooden window, then returned to the center of the guest room, sat cross-legged on the floor, and circulated internal energy to heal his injuries.Not long after, the footsteps in the restaurant became clearer, Bai Qing didn't feel flustered, but calmed down more and more, looking indifferently in the direction of the door, waiting quietly.

In the alleys of Youcheng, a figure was speeding through the alleys.

Xiangsi embraced Hong Xiao with her left hand, and supported Jin Mo with her right hand. Lightness kung fu and internal strength are not what Xiangsi is good at. The weight of the two of them is indeed a bit heavy for her.

At this time, Acacia's pace is much slower than before, and after a while, I'm afraid she will be exhausted.If those pursuers turn around and come after them, they will be unable to escape.

Hong Xiao leaned on Xiangsi's shoulder and whispered in Xiangsi's ear.

Xiangsi walked through several streets and alleys in the direction guided by Hong Xiao, and even reached the foot of the city wall.

This city wall is particularly dilapidated, several places have collapsed, and stones have fallen to the ground.

The shortest one is no more than two people high, as long as you think of a way, you can go out of the city.

It's just that under the low wall, there is a row of low and dilapidated shacks.

Most of these shacks are surrounded by broken city wall stones, with a thin layer of straw as the roof, and the people living inside are beggars and homeless people in the city.

If the three of them wanted to climb to the top of the city, they would have to pass through the roofs of those shacks, and if there was a lot of noise, it would be troublesome.

Xiangsi followed Hong Xiao's instructions, put her down, and put Jin Mo on her back.Hong Xiao looked apologetically, because of the urgency of the situation, she never asked Xiangsi for advice, but right now, besides Xiangsi, who else could she rely on?

Moreover, the situation at the foot of the city wall also made Hong Xiao helpless.

Hong Xiao remembered that in the early years, there were not so many shacks under these low walls.Her lightness kung fu is good, and she can come and go freely in and out of this city.

In the current situation, what should be done.

It was probably due to destiny, suddenly a child came out of the shack, rubbing his eyes as he walked, looking sleepy.

With a familiar look, Hong Xiao came out from the hiding place and called out, "Jiang Li."

The child was startled suddenly, and all sleepiness was awakened. Seeing Hong Xiao, he asked in surprise, "Big sister?"

Hong Xiao smiled sweetly: "Xiao Jiangli, can you do something for my sister?"

Jiang Li fluttered his clear eyes and asked doubtfully, "What is Big Sister going to do?"

Hong Xiao probed her waist, fortunately Xiangsi was shy, seeing Hong Xiao sleeping soundly, she didn't dare to undress her, so all the belongings she had with her were still there.Hong Xiao took a small piece of silver from the purse, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiangli, my sister has some urgent matters to get out of the city, so how about borrowing Xiao Jiangli's house? The silver is considered as travel expenses."

Jiang Li nodded without hesitation and said, "I don't want the money, big sister is free to use it if she wants to. But you must be careful, sometimes the city guards will patrol this area."

Hong Xiao didn't say any more, and called Xiangsi to Jiangli's house.

The so-called house is a very simple stone shack with a pile of dry grass inside, which is obviously Jiang Li's bed.

The space in the room is extremely small, even if a child like Jiang Li lay down on the "bed", there would not be much space left.A few pieces of rags were stacked a little farther away, and a bowl was placed on top of the clothes, which was all Jiang Li's belongings.

Xiangsi carried Jin Mo on her back, climbed up the protruding stones of the city wall, and walked upstream slowly, which was a bit difficult.

Hong Xiao stood near the "door", pulled Jiang Li and said, "Little Jiang Li, what were you going to do earlier?"

Jiang Li blushed, and said, "I drank a little more water at night, so I woke up at night."

Hong Xiao smiled softly and said: "People have three urgencies, this matter cannot be delayed, you should go there quickly, it is best to come back later."

Hong Xiao's smile is gentle and beautiful, when has the little beggar been treated with such favor by others?I just felt that my whole body was warm and indescribably beneficial, and I was a little reluctant to leave for a while.

Hong Xiao said: "Go quickly, we are at your house, we will definitely not mess around."

Jiang Li looked at Hong Xiao, then raised his eyes to look at Xiangsi who was about to cross the top of the wall, nodded and said, "I see, big sister must be careful."

Hong Xiao smiled and said, "It's not safe to go outside at night, so you should be more careful."

As soon as Jiang Li left, Xiangsi jumped down from the wall and squatted in front of Hong Xiao.

Hong Xiao stuffed the ingot of silver into Jiang Li's clothes, then climbed onto Xiangsi's back, and smiled in her ear: "This small body is a bit thin, I have to make up for it in the future."

Acacia didn't respond, the difficulty of climbing made her overwhelmed.

After finally reaching the top of the wall, Hong Xiao suddenly said, "Look."

Xiangsi followed her finger to look into the distance, at this time the stars were dim, and the world was in darkness, so she couldn't really see what was going on.

However, Hong Xiao sighed: "The mountains there are overlapping, and when you look at them in the daytime, they are all hidden in the fog, and you can only see a hazy outline. I used to think that there were immortals living there... ..." Her words suddenly stopped, obviously remembering that now is not the time to lament the scenery, and said again: "Let's go."

Facing this section of the city wall is a forest with luxuriant branches.

Hong Xiao asked Xiangsi to carry Jin Mo on his back, and walked aside by himself.Although Hong Xiao has no internal strength, his pace is still much faster than ordinary people, and the speed of the three of them is not too slow.

When the sky was bright, the three of them had gone deep into the dense forest. Looking back, the green branches and leaves were layered on top of each other, and the city wall when they came could no longer be seen, and even the entire Youcheng City was covered.

The sun shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, leaving mottled marks all over the place.

Hong Xiao was a little tired from walking, and Xiangsi's forehead was also sweating.

Hong Xiao said: "Let's rest for a while, you can take a look at the injury for Miss Jin."

Acacia obeys Hong Xiao's words.

The two supported Jin Mo and sat on the tree trunk, they felt their pulses in lovesickness, and said: "It's poisoning, it's a medicine that makes people lose their internal energy."

Hong Xiao said: "Don't you have a name?"

Xiangsi shook his head and said: "Poisons that make people lose their internal energy have always been one of the properties that poison masters love to study. There are so many prescriptions, and I can't tell which one it is." With a sudden snort, he said: "This poison, who has solved half of it..."

Hong Xiao was puzzled and said, "There is still such a saying as a half solution?"

Xiangsi said: "Like the 'world's element', the fatality can only be removed in a hurry, and the remaining toxins can only be recuperated slowly."

Hong Xiao asked: "Is that still possible?"

Xiangsi said: "As long as it's not a fatal poison, it can always be cured later."

Hong Xiao took out the package from behind and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I remembered to bring out the life-saving things."

It was the package that Xiangsi carried with her, which contained two sets of filial piety clothes and a small tripod.

When Hong Xiao woke up Xiangsi in the guest room, he had already vaguely guessed that he was going to escape.So he took Xiangsi's package at the foot of the bed, but Hong Xiao didn't take any of his own packages.
