reborn on the happy hall

Chapter 87 Borrowing a Knife

Lin Xiao followed Di Xuan all the way through the mountains and forests, and thanks to his years of martial arts practice, he was physically strong enough to keep up with the girl's agile pace in the mountains.After running like this for less than half an hour, it was regarded as bypassing Dongshan Mountain, and a corner of the cornice could be seen from a distance.

The two stopped to catch their breath, and Lin Xiao pointed to the cornice and asked, "Is your village over there?"

There is nothing to hide. Although there are more Qiang people living hidden in the mountains, the location of the patriarch is not a secret.After all, occasionally they also need to deal with the outside world, and they have to obey the government's decrees, so it is impossible for people to be completely lost.So Di Xuan nodded without any pressure when she heard that, and said, "Yes, it's over there, it's not far away, I'll take you home."

Lin Xiao always felt that something was wrong when he heard this, but after Di Xuan finished speaking, he pulled him and started running again.The little girl was used to walking on mountain roads with agility, so Lin Xiao had to restrain his thoughts and run along, otherwise it would be ugly to be dragged by the girl's family if he was not paying attention.

The two continued to approach the Qiang village, and Di Xuan slowed down halfway through the run, muttering something.

Lin Xiao heard it, but still didn't understand it, because Di Xuan's mumble was not in Chinese.The last time in the secret room, the two had just met him and it was hard to ask anything, but now it is more or less shared, so they simply asked: "What are you muttering about?"

Di Xuan seemed to be very honest with him, and while pulling him to continue walking towards the village, she replied, "I mean, why is the road so deserted today?" After she finished speaking, afraid that Lin Xiao would not understand, she explained again: "Recently, the road is so deserted." It's starting to calm down, it's time for everyone in the village to come out and do some activities, why didn't we meet anyone along the way?!"

It's a bit abnormal.As soon as Lin Xiao's vigilance was born, he heard a rustling sound in the grass, and then saw a head poking out.If Di Xuan hadn't stopped Lin Xiao in time, Lin Xiao would have smashed his head with a stone in no time!

Di Xuan grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and hurriedly explained, "Don't do anything, you're from the village."

Of course, Lin Xiao also knew about the conflicts between these Qiang people and the imperial court. In order to maintain a harmonious relationship between the two sides, the garrison troops in Xinzhou never took the initiative to provoke while deterring them.Of course, Lin Xiao also followed the same principles. Hearing this, he took back the raised stone, but unexpectedly, the other party didn't appreciate it. He just looked at him vigilantly, and even dragged Di Xuan away and drew his sword at him!

To be honest, Lin Xiao was never really afraid of fighting alone, even with bare hands against swords.But when he heard the hostile young Qiang man speak, he felt that his whole life was going to be bad: "Ah Xuan, come back with me quickly, don't be fooled by these Han people's little faces!"

The major general almost couldn't help reaching out to touch his face, and at the same time he looked down at himself without any trace - he was wearing a military uniform, tall and tall, and his face was a healthy complexion close to wheat.Although handsome and sculpted, good-looking is good-looking, why shouldn't it be associated with a title like "little boy"? !

Lin Xiao didn't know what expression to make, but Di Xuan took the young man's hand holding the knife and said dissatisfiedly, "Ah Ze, what are you doing? Put the knife away, he is my friend."

But these words were obviously not enough to dispel the doubts of the young man named Aze, and the hostility in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xiao became stronger.He lowered the knife but didn't put it away, he just said: "In this case, then you can go back to the village with us."

Lin Xiao always felt that something was weird, but he didn't want to go to the stronghold of the Qiang people anymore.Because from his observations along the way, he knew that Di Xuan was indeed from the Qiang people, and now that she had met her clansman, he didn't have to worry about her safety, so he could leave with peace of mind.And even if there was still follow-up investigation to be done, and he already knew the location of the cottage, it would be the same if he came to find someone another day.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao said, "No, I should go back to Xinzhou City." After speaking, he looked at Di Xuan and explained, "I have also been missing for a long time, and my parents still miss me at home, so I have to report back as soon as possible. It's safe."

Di Xuan was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, but then felt warm in her heart - of course she could see that Lin Xiao had been imprisoned in the secret room longer than her, and she could also see some clues from his attire.But even so, he didn't leave immediately because he was worried about her safety.Instead, he ran all these mountain roads with her, just to send him home safely.

The Qiang girl's affection for the major general increased by two points, but the young Aze said with a cold face: "You can't help it!"

Immediately after a whistling sound, a dozen or so figures suddenly jumped out from the surroundings, all of them were robust young men, and surrounded the three of them in an instant.It's just that Di Xuan couldn't care about other things at this moment, her face changed after seeing the battle: "Why are you hiding here, what happened in the village?!"

****************************************************************************

Nothing happened in the Qiang village, except that the patriarch's youngest daughter was "abducted".Now that both the abducted and the "abducted" have come back, it's no big deal just to clean up the abducted boy, keep him and chase him away.

All the clansmen staying behind in the cottage thought so, but they didn't know that in the patriarch's house, the faces of several people were very solemn.

Di Xuan took the initiative to tell what happened in the past few days, including where and how she was knocked unconscious, where she woke up, and how she was transferred to the secret room. Everything was clearly explained. .After finishing speaking, he also explained a sentence for Lin Xiao by the way, which helped him to get rid of most of the suspicions, and Lin Xiao didn't hide the rest, so he understood it after talking about it roughly.

The old patriarch's face was very bad after hearing that, he turned around and took a bunch of bottles and cans for his daughter's self-defense, and then said: "We are probably being tricked by someone, but it's good to hear your brother, we didn't really play a dick Flying dog jumps."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips when he heard him describe the war in this way, and then he said, "Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and maybe the two sides will turn red-eyed at some point. Let's go to Xinzhou as soon as possible to clear up the misunderstanding."

No matter how many wars, people will die, even if both sides of this turmoil intend to restrain themselves.But Lin Xiao and the old patriarch couldn't help but feel sorry for the soldiers and clansmen who were killed or injured.While gnashing his teeth with hatred in his heart, he couldn't let this inexplicable turmoil continue—the old patriarch immediately sent someone to the city of Xinzhou to deliver a message, and Lin Xiao took advantage of the opportunity to bid farewell.

It's just that the messenger left, but the old patriarch didn't let him go immediately.His old but sharp eyes looked at Lin Xiao, inexplicably making people a little cautious: "The status of the major general is precious, and the city is in chaos right now. I'm afraid it will hurt you to go out at this time."

This statement made Lin Xiao a little funny, so he really laughed: "The patriarch is overwhelmed. Lin is also a military commander. He fought with his father on the battlefield at the age of 15. Now he has more than seven years. How can he be afraid of such a small thing?" battle?"

This is really a bit blunt, and it means to underestimate the Qiang people.The old patriarch's complexion immediately turned ugly, and it was Di Xuan who gently tugged at his sleeves, which made him restrain his temper temporarily.But when he looked at Lin Xiao again at this moment, he was displeased with both left and right sides—this kid didn't show any signs of behavior other than being annoying, did he despise his family, Axuan, or something? !

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, of course Lin Xiao would not foolishly offend the master on someone else's property.So I said two more words to ease the atmosphere, WeChat.xin.public.public.account.bai.hexiao.said.she. Then he said seriously: "The patriarch is kind, but I can't stay in this cottage for a long time. The behind-the-scenes The person has not been found out and liquidated, I have to go back to the city to have a look, at least to reassure my family."

The old patriarch's eyes flickered when he heard the words, but he didn't answer immediately.

Lin Xiao didn't care what he was planning. He glanced at Di Xuan inadvertently, and said, "I know there are not many young and strong left in the village, and I don't need them to follow. Patriarch, you just need to Lend me a knife, show me the way, and I will go back by myself."

The old patriarch suddenly raised his head, his gaze was so hot that it almost dazzled: "You want to borrow a knife?!"

Lin Xiao was a little dazed by his sudden scorching gaze, and even felt a little guilty for no reason, and stuttered when he spoke: "Yes, yes, what's the problem?"

Qiang people mostly use scimitars, and almost every adult man wears one on his waist.It would be embarrassing to ask them to borrow a gun or a sword, but it should not be difficult to ask them to borrow a sword. At least when Lin Xiao entered the door, he saw that the patriarch's house had two spare ones on the wall besides his own. His scimitar is hanging, so it should be no problem to borrow it for temporary use... right?

Lin Xiao had never dealt with the Qiang people, so he was thinking uncertainly at this moment.

Unexpectedly, the old patriarch suddenly became happy again. He looked Lin Xiao up and down again, then stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, and said, "Not bad, it's okay, you can handle my knife."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment again, thinking in his heart, could it be that the old patriarch's knife is particularly heavy?

Seeing that the old patriarch had walked to the wall a few steps, he took down a machete hanging on the wall.This knife looks quite delicate, the handle and scabbard are inlaid with precious stones, although it is not sharp, it is much more precious than the one on the old patriarch's waist just by looking at it!

When Lin Xiao saw such a knife, he also wondered if his act of borrowing the knife rashly was a bit abrupt?He glanced at the simple waist knife of the old patriarch, knowing that the Qiang people never leave the waist knife, so he turned his eyes to the other one hanging on the wall, thinking whether he should remind the old patriarch to lend him a less expensive one of?

But as soon as this idea came up, the old patriarch handed the knife to him before he opened his mouth, and said to him quite solemnly: "This is my family's treasured knife, I will lend it to you now, you can use it to defend yourself against the enemy, But be sure to cherish it!"

These words were resounding, as if what was entrusted was not just a knife.

Lin Xiao took it in a little ignorance, but seeing the solemn look of the old patriarch, he didn't say anything about changing the knife, but took it just as solemnly, and expressed that he would cherish it.

The author has something to say: Di Xuan (rest assured): I was worried for a long time, thinking that he really didn't understand anything.

Lin Xiao (at a loss): What do I understand? !

ps: In some places, there are certain things that cannot be borrowed indiscriminately... Believe it or not, you can borrow a daughter-in-law to go home? !

Then ps: the second update will be sent, please ask for flowers! ! !
