Asura Fields Everywhere in Soochow

Spring is in full swing, and the pear trees in the backyard of the Lu family are in full bloom, with intertwined flowers and branches, pure white and gorgeous.There is an earthenware stove under the tree, and the charcoal fire under the earthenware stove is shining bright red.

There was a "gurgling" sound in the pottery stove.Open the lid and lightly poke the back of the fish with chopsticks, the fish will spread out like garlic cloves, and the white and moist fish will be filled with an attractive fragrance.

Seeing this posture, Sun Wu felt a little strange, "How did you know I was coming?"

"Don't think too much, this is not a food specially prepared for you." Lu Ji divided a piece of fish into Sun Wu's bowl, "I just happened to see you when I went back to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks. Thief—nobody would have guessed you would be stealthy."

"Then you really have a taste for elegance, and you come out to eat alone in the middle of the night..." Sun Wu said halfway, and then realized that he was touched by the "little thief who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth", so he changed the subject and said, "You really think you are Lu Can the iron and copper walls of the house guard against thieves?"

She looked around the backyard, and said: "The front yard has been raised, but in your backyard, the wall is so low that you can climb it with bare hands. There is also this pear tree, with branches slanting out, and it has already come out." It's just over the courtyard wall, just for people to settle down."

Pointing to a place on the tree, she said, "I used to step on that branch and climb into the courtyard, and I never let anyone notice."

Lu Ji grasped the point, "Why did you break into my house before?"

What are you doing over the wall?Sun Wu thought for a while and then remembered that his purpose was not pure at that time, so he must not tell Lu Ji.

"In short, I never stole anything from your house." She was perfunctory, and put the fish in the bowl into her mouth.

She was afraid of Lu Ji's questioning, but when the night wind blew, Lu Ji suddenly coughed, almost out of breath, his little face was flushed, and he couldn't speak a word.

"You are so small, you shouldn't have to work hard in the middle of the night." Sun Wu patted him on the back to comfort him, "If you want to eat alone, you can call your servants. Wouldn't it be nice to have them watch you eat alone?"

Sun Wu chattered for a while, the flush on Lu Ji's face faded, but his throat was a little hoarse and he was slightly panting.He put down his chopsticks and no longer had the desire to eat.

Seeing him like this, Sun Wu felt worried for a long time.She sat down again, picked up the previous topic, and said: "I used to climb over the wall and saw a frail young man like you, like a little fairy boy, so I told you a secret. I said, there is There is an immortal named Yu Ji, and you can ask him to cure your illness. Later, you went up the mountain to find the immortal, and he was cured, and you are alive and kicking every day, doing whatever you want."

Sun Wu thought to himself, if this is the last life, there is no point in prolonging his life, but it would be good to make him feel better these years.

Hearing what she said, Lu Ji remembered that he did have the memory of going to Qionglong Mountain, but the process seemed different.I don't know for a moment whether she has misremembered it or is making it up.Regardless of these for now, he looked at Sun Wu pitifully and said: "Since you know where the immortal lives, why don't you take me there? Qionglong Mountain is so big, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the way."

It's not difficult to go there, but although Yu Ji's whereabouts are fixed in Qionglong Mountain, he often collects herbs in the mountain, so he may not be able to find it once.Sun Wu felt a little soft-hearted when he saw him, so he responded: "The college will be on vacation the day after tomorrow, I will go and ask for medicine for you." After speaking, he took the opportunity to say: "I only ask for something in return for helping you, and I will ask you later. You can't refuse to do anything..."

"The day after tomorrow?" Lu Ji interrupted her, "Aren't you coming to my house for a banquet?"

Unexpectedly received a special reception from Lu Ji, and found that he treats him the same as before, Sun Wu's anger subsided a lot, "No, I'm satisfied if you have this heart. Let's not say that you didn't send an invitation Tie, I’m embarrassed to go.”

"We are so close, you can come over whenever you want, and you won't have to climb over the wall again and again." Lu Ji leaned under the pear tree, with his hands crossed on his chest, looking like a little adult.

The figures of the young Lu Ji and the adult Lu Ji overlapped at this moment, strangely harmonious.

Suddenly, a voice of his own flashed in Sun Wu's mind, "If there is another life, you should cherish him now, he will not be like this when he grows up."

It seemed to be her soliloquy in the previous life. Before that, she thought that Lu Ji was just like a pear blossom, lonely and cold, and would leave marks if she pinched her fingertips.Also like pear blossoms, the flowering period is very short, and they will wither in more than ten days.

The flame under the pottery stove was gradually extinguished, and the perch exuded the last lingering fragrance, dragging her back to the previous life in a haze.Before she revealed the purpose of her hydrolysis, she and Lu Ji once had the same harmonious time, tasting fish and drinking together under the pear blossom tree, but Lu Ji was bigger than now, taller than her, and very good-looking , once you touch the wine, your face will be more colorful.

Sun Wu sketched in her mind what Lu Ji would look like five years later, such a good-looking boy, she wondered why it took more than 2000 years for her to look at him.

She was in a trance when suddenly there was a sound from the wall. When she looked up, she saw a masked man about to climb up the wall.

Good guy, I just said that Lu's backyard is the easiest to climb, and here comes a little thief who knows nothing about his heights and depths.

For the convenience of stealing fish, Sun Wu only brought a short knife tonight.Seeing the person coming, she took out the dagger, and continued to meet the thief with provocative eyes.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight, the little thief was stunned when he saw the two people in the courtyard, then ignored Sun Wu's naked threat, ran along the wall to the side away from the pear tree, and then took out the weapon from behind.

Seeing his neat figure, Sun Wu knew something was wrong, so he stuffed Lu Ji behind the pear tree, and when he turned his head, he saw the sharp light of the arrow under the moonlight.

The cold light was released in an instant, and the whistling sound was unusual, Sun Wu turned over in a hurry to escape.

Turning around, the pear blossoms beside the arrow were blown away by the strong wind, the tip of the arrow sank into the ground, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly and violently!

This kind of strength, Sun Wu has seen before, cannot come from the bow, but from the ceiling of the current long-distance weapon-the six-stone crossbow.

With the current level of technology, very few people can obtain such a high-end cold weapon.Sun Wu's heart sank, it turned out that it was not a little thief who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but a robber who had planned for a long time!

Such a long distance, a dagger is hard to resist.But blindly avoiding it is nothing more than letting mermaid go.Sun Wu made a decision immediately, and took advantage of the gap between the thieves stringing the crossbow and rushed to the wall.

Even if ordinary thieves get a six-stone crossbow, because they are not proficient enough, it will inevitably take a lot of time to wind it.

Sun Wu gambled that this was not a short time - rushed to the wall, held a short knife to his throat, and everything was under control.

However, she didn't run two steps before she received the second arrow!

The tip of the arrow brushed against her arm, and Sun Wu fell to the ground while dodging.Regardless of the pain, she immediately sorted out the current situation in her mind.

She obviously underestimated the thief again, this is a familiar hand.With the current situation, if he forcibly climbs the wall, next time, the tip of the arrow will point at his forehead.

At this time, she couldn't force it hard, she focused on her opponent, planning in her mind to avoid the third arrow first.

Just when the arrow was about to be released for the third time, under the moonlight, the arrow tip suddenly changed direction.

Sun Wu yelled in his heart that it was not good, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Ji rushing out from under the pear tree.

"Lu Ji, go back!" Naturally, Sun Wu knew that he wanted to rescue soldiers, but he was so weak that he might not be able to dodge even an arrow.

Regardless of her dissuasion, Lu Ji ran desperately towards the porch, and Sun Wuxin raised it in his throat.

The third arrow came later than expected, Sun Wu looked back.The cold light on the tip of the arrow was still there, but when facing Lu Ji, the visitor seemed to hesitate.

Sun Wu immediately stood up from the ground, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard a "whoosh" and the dull sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh.

What sounded at the same time was the "buzzing" sound in Sun Wu's head. Even though she was used to seeing life and death, for some reason, she didn't dare to look back at Lu Ji at this moment.

She couldn't believe it. For the first time in more than 2000 years, the things that needed to be cherished were so broken?

It wasn't until the black shadow on the wall slowly fell and hit the ground that she realized that the thief was really too thick, and he failed in his mission, so he died in the backyard of the Lu family.

Turning around, I saw Lu Ji sitting on the ground.Beside him, Lu Xun calmly drew his bow.

While heaving a sigh of relief, Sun Wu felt strange for his sentimentality just now. Lu Ji had already come to her side, held her hand, and said as if he had never encountered any life-or-death crisis: "Did you encounter something wrong again?" An easy enemy to deal with?"

"How do you know it's my enemy? It's obviously a thief I met in your Lu family." Sun Wu said so, and he also clenched Lu Ji's hand.

In fact, in her memory, the Lu family has never encountered such a special thief, and there is a high probability that this thief will come for her.

"It's fine if you lure the thieves yourself. If you lure the thieves to my house, then don't blame me for not welcoming you." Lu Xun said, without looking at them, he stepped forward to inspect the thieves' corpses.

Sun Wu ignored his cynicism, took Lu Ji's hand and followed.

The thief's mask was torn off, and he had a very ordinary face, Sun Wu had no impression of him at all.

One after another, servants came to the backyard with lanterns. By the light of the lanterns, they saw the six-stone crossbow carried by the thief. The crossbow was brand new.The Wangshan scale is accurate, and there are only a few scratches on the hanging knife.

"Such an exquisite crossbow is not something that ordinary thieves can make." Sun Wu reminded Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was very interested in first-class weapons. He looked at this crossbow many times, and replied: "There are sporadic mountain settlements outside the city. Maybe they snatched it from the army."

Judging from the thieves' skills, they are not like Shanyue, but at this time Sun Wu has no idea, so he won't say more.

After all this tossing, it was obvious that Lu Ji's physical strength could no longer support him, so he leaned half of his body on Sun Wu's body.Seeing this, Lu Xun ordered his servants to take Lu Ji to rest, and said to Sun Wu, "You don't need me to see you off, do you?"

His hunger has been satisfied, seeing that there is no more useful information to be found, Sun Wu is unwilling to stay in Lu's house any longer.She turned around and walked to the main entrance of Lu's house in the familiar way.

Just as he was about to walk out of the porch, he heard Lu Xun say: "The visitor is not kind, I'm afraid it will be more than this one time, you should be more careful these days."

Sun Wu accepted his kindness, turned around to thank him, but saw Lu Xun still lowered his head, fiddling with the crossbow with great interest.

In Sun Wu's memory, he spends more time with the bow, but there are also a few scenes where he fiddles with the six-stone crossbow...

Some bad memories suddenly came to her mind, she turned her head immediately, left Lu's house without saying anything.
