Chapter 371 Finale 2
Nan Xiao originally wanted to reach the next town before dark.
But at this moment, looking at the dozen or so burly men blocking the road in front of her, she fell silent.
She actually met the bandits that the waiter had mentioned.
The bandits rode on tall horses and surrounded Nan Xiao, with dust flying as their horses' hooves rose and fell.
One of the men, a man with a face full of flesh, stared at Nan Xiao and said to the bald man in the lead, "Boss, this young lady looks very pretty. Why don't you take her away and make her your thirteenth wife?"
The bald man in the lead squinted his eyes as he looked at Nan Xiao. His rough laughter mixed with the sound of the wind and exploded: "Ha, I've never seen such a beautiful one. It's just right to bring her back and try her out."
“…”
The bandits were discussing as if no one was around, using extremely vulgar language.
"This figure, this face, is even prettier than that pretty girl I snatched away a while ago!"
"If the boss accepts her, we brothers can also benefit from it..."
The obscene words came like stones, and Nan Xiao's eyes grew colder by the second.
She has no intention of meddling in other people's affairs.
But they bumped into her on their own, so it was not her fault.
Nan Xiao held onto the hilt of Kuaipao's sword but hadn't yet drawn it out.
The bracelet, which had been immersed for three years, moved at this moment.
A subtle vibration came from her wrist, again and again, as light as the fluttering of a butterfly's wings, yet so clear that it seemed to be knocking on her heart.
Nan Xiao's movements froze, the hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly loosened, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
The vibration continued, with a familiar, almost forgotten frequency, penetrating into the blood vessels through the skin, stirring and making all the internal organs feel sore.
Nan Xiao stared at the bracelet in a daze, her eyelashes trembled, and a tear fell on the back of her hand without any preparation.
At some point, her eyes had turned red, and in her watery gaze, the bracelet seemed to be stained with a hazy light.
"Boss, this little girl looks even more pitiful when she cries."
"Hahaha……"
Nan Xiao's eyes quickly swept around.
There were dense forests on both sides of the mountain path, and the undulating shadows of mountains were vaguely visible in the distance, but there was no figure that she had been missing for three years.
The vibration between my wrists continued, this was definitely not an illusion.
Nan Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and gently stroked the bracelet with her fingertips.
He must be nearby.
The surrounding bandits were still making incessant noises, their obscene words buzzing like flies. Nan Xiao felt irritated and drew his sword, throwing it at the noisiest bandit, and spitting out two words in a cold and hard voice: "Shut up."
The sword pierced the bandit's neck accurately and went straight into a tree trunk not far away.
The bandit hadn't reacted yet when he felt something sticky on his neck.
As soon as he reached out to touch it, blood suddenly appeared.
The bandit opened his mouth slightly, but before he could say anything, he fell off his horse and died.
Suddenly, there was dead silence on the mountain road.
The bandit leader was the first to react and shouted, "Run! This woman is a martial artist. We are no match for her."
Whether someone is worth provoking or not can be seen with just one move.
The reason why he could become a bandit leader and stay in this area for so long was because of his foresight and knowledge of the times.
If you can't win, run away. Never fight to the end.
After saying this, the bandit leader turned his horse around and headed into the dense forest. Seeing this, the remaining minions also fled in panic.
Nan Xiao wanted to get rid of them all at once, but he noticed that a group of people were approaching from another direction, blocking the bandits' escape route.
At the same time, the bracelet on her wrist vibrated rapidly and sharply.
Nan Xiao's heart moved, and he looked towards the crowd in the melee.
They were a group of strong young men in coarse linen clothes, looking like farmers who had been working all year round.
They were armed with axes and sticks, and fought with the bandits in a disorderly manner.
The young man who rushed in the front, holding a machete, attacked quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. The bandits had almost no power to resist and were knocked off their horses.
The young strong men behind followed closely behind, carrying ropes and quickly tied up the bandits lying on the ground one by one with swift movements.
Nan Xiao's eyes were fixed on the leading young man, and he even forgot to regulate his breathing.
A familiar figure, familiar eyes, familiar movements...all of this was telling her.
It’s him, Lu Huai.
Three years later...she finally found him.
Nan Xiao's gaze was too intense, and it was hard for the young man not to notice it.
The moment their eyes met, the noise around them seemed to quiet down.
Nan Xiao wanted to laugh, but tears rolled down her face first, hitting her clothes and the anticipation that spanned three years.
The young man looked at her tears rolling down his cheeks, and for some reason, a wave of heartache spread throughout his heart.
The coldness he had just shown when dealing with the bandits faded away, and a trace of helplessness flashed across the boy's eyes. The hand holding the knife unconsciously loosened. When he reacted, he was already standing in front of Nan Xiao.
His voice was very soft and gentle: "Did I scare you?"
Without paying attention to what he said, Nan Xiao could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into Lu Huai's arms.
Three years of searching, worrying and longing all turned into sobs at this moment.
She clutched his collar tightly, afraid that he would disappear again if she let go. Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her tears slowly soaked through his clothes.
Lu Huai's body froze for a moment, then he raised his hand and gently placed it on her back, comforting her while explaining in a panic, "Girl, don't be afraid. They are all bad people."
"I...I don't kill people casually."
Lu Huai thought that he was too brutal when killing the bandits and scared her, so he explained.
Nan Xiao raised his head abruptly, met the boy's clear eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you call me?"
"Girl...Miss?"
Nan Xiao finally realized that something was wrong. Lu Huai looked at her with a distant look, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Not giving up, Nan Xiao asked again: "Don't you know me?"
Lu Huai shook his head.
Nan laughed, as if some absurd idea had tickled his funny bone. His laughter grew louder and louder, and his shoulders began to shake.
She actually encountered this ridiculous amnesia plot.
Seeing that she was not in a good state, Lu Huai asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Xiao loosened his collar, took two steps back to close the distance between them, and casually wiped the tears from her face.
"Just stand there and don't move. I'll ask you questions."
"Oh, okay."
Lu Huai obeyed subconsciously.
"Did you lose your memory due to the injury?"
Lu Huai nodded.
“And then he was rescued.”
Lu Huai continued to nod.
"It was a girl who saved you."
Lu Huai nodded again and again.
Nan Xiao's joy and excitement at the long-awaited reunion gradually faded, replaced by an expression that was difficult to describe.
She had already started to imagine the drama in her mind.
It's a good thing that Lu Huai is still alive. The girl saved him because she is kind-hearted and Lu Huai is lucky.
But... a young man and woman who have been together day and night for three years. Lu Huai is also handsome. If he and the girl fall in love with each other, what would she be?
All the bloody plots I have seen emerged in my mind one after another.
Before he lost his memory, Lu Huai had a cold and ruthless face. He said, “I don’t know you. Don’t bother me. I only love her…”
After recovering my memory, Xiaoxiao said, "I didn't remember anything back then. I only have gratitude towards her. I only love you. You can't sentence me to death just because I don't remember anything..."
Then begins a heartbreaking love triangle...
