"Okay, okay, okay." She said three "Okays" in a row, and then asked anxiously, "What about Hao Bai and the guy in the prison?"
Before she finished her words, a pale figure struggled towards her from not far away. He seemed to want to run, but the man with weak limbs on his shoulders pressed him so hard that he couldn't move his legs.
"Here, here."
She looked at the other man's bright white dress, and the veins at the corners of her eyebrows were twitching. She remembered that she had hidden this dress very well, but he still found it out.
The last ray of light in the sky disappeared at this moment, and the surroundings fell into darkness. There was a slight vibration in the air, coming from far away, like the footsteps of the devil.
Xiao Nanhui took the tinder from Wu Xiaoliu's hand and lit it again. The firelight illuminated her eyebrows and eyes, which looked tired but determined.
"Let's get out of here."
******************
A Kuang, An Lu and others realized something was wrong when they were a few miles outside the village.
There was a smell of smoke in the air, and the sky not far away was purple-red.
It's fire.
Hay mixed with castor oil was stuffed into every corner of the village, leaving no room for growth when it was ignited, and it caught fire almost instantly.
"Escaped."
In a bush a hundred feet away, several gray figures were moving rapidly into the distance, and one white dot was particularly conspicuous.
Ah Kuang had obviously seen it too, but the path to pursue him was blocked by the fire, and it would take an inordinate amount of time to detour. He could only try to remedy the situation by commanding the people around him: "Use the crossbow! Use the crossbow quickly!"
Ten powerful crossbows shot out from the air, but the arrows were blocked by the bushes and few of them could reach far.
"Get out of the way, trash."
An Lu's face became increasingly ugly. He kicked aside a half-burned beam and, relying on his light body, he flipped over to the side of a half-collapsed earth wall.
Xiao Nanhui heard a sound of breaking air behind his ears and was glad that he had chosen this thorny road. It was indeed difficult to walk on, but it could save his life at the critical moment.
The crossbow flew for a while and then stopped. She couldn't control herself and looked back.
With this glance, I saw the young man standing on the wall.
He was still wearing the ill-fitting robe, with his hands hanging at his sides, completely covered by the sleeves, like a puppet.
The next second, he slowly raised his hands, and two skinny arms slipped out of his sleeves, stained blood red in the firelight.
Xiao Nanhui was a little surprised by the other party's actions, but she only had time to see the branches and leaves between them, which seemed to be separated by an invisible knife in an instant.
As the grass debris flew, a strong wind suddenly came in front of her, and there was no way to avoid it.
Almost at the same time, a huge force hit her from the side, and she fell to the ground. When she got up, she found Wu Xiaoliu lying where she had just stood. His entire shoulder was almost torn apart, and blood instantly gushed out of the wound like an inexhaustible well.
He looked up at her weakly and opened his mouth.
"Wu, Wu Xiaoliu!" Her lips trembled slightly, and she pressed the other person's wound, "Don't talk..."
"There's something I must say." The fat man squinted his eyes and said slowly, "Meeting you... I'm so unlucky."
Another gust of strong wind came, and several people lay on the ground to avoid it. A poplar tree behind them was hit. The trunk made a muffled sound and slowly broke and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Taking advantage of this moment to catch his breath, Hao Bai climbed up from the ground, quickly tore off a piece of cloth and quickly bandaged Wu Xiaoliu's wound: "He won't die for a while. But if he doesn't leave now, we will all die together!"
Xiao Nanhui was still immersed in shock and couldn't recover.
What she had just experienced exceeded her long-held understanding of military techniques.
She knew An Lu's skills and knew it was impossible for him to become such a master in such a short period of time.
Moreover, she clearly didn't see any weapons in the other party's hands, so how could he cause someone a hundred feet away to see blood in an instant?
What is it? What is it?
The young man who had been sitting on the wall with his head down and silent all the time slowly raised his head. Before Xiao Nanhui could look away, he met those sinister eyes across the raging fire.
She saw a cold smile on that face.
He recognized her.
The burning heat wave swept up the icy air and she shivered.
The next second, Su Pingchuan's hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Xiao Nanhui!"
The rough but warm hand brought her back to her senses instantly. She grabbed Wu Xiaoliu's blood-soaked clothes and carried him on her shoulder.
The fallen poplar trees provided them with temporary shelter, and a cold wind blew away the turbid air. It was a wind from the east.
She took one last look in the direction of the village and clenched her fist.
She was sincerely grateful to this land for giving her the tenacity that was ingrained in her bones and blood, but she did not belong here.
It didn’t belong to me before, and it doesn’t belong to me even more now.
She wants to be with the one she loves, even if that is not the hometown where she was born.
Xiao Nan turned around and let the flames that shot up into the sky illuminate her back redly.
"Let's go."
