After entering the forest, Shoujing carried Lu Mingyu to his shoulders, looked back several times, and confirmed that no one was following him, he strided into the deep mountains. Lu Mingyu lay down his head, and with Shoujing's pace, her belly was pushed by Shoujing's shoulders one after another, which was extremely uncomfortable. He endured it silently for a while. Lu Mingyu couldn't hold on, so he tilted his head secretly and looked at Shoujing.
Shoujing's skin was dark, like a farmer who had been to the fields all year round, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and thick lips. Just looking at her appearance, she was very honest and honest. Otherwise, she would not have been bullied by Fayan as an honest person in the past few years. When she noticed Lu Mingyu's peeping, Shoujing tilted her head. Lu Mingyu instinctively wanted to avoid it, but before she could turn away her gaze, Shoujing turned over first, and Lu Mingyu accidentally grabbed a trace of guilt in the man's eyes.
Will he feel guilty?
Lu Mingyu suddenly felt a little hope.
She continued to observe Shoujing, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through her. She didn't know what Shoujing's secret was. Shoujing's escape was important, and there was no need to kill someone to silence her, a little girl. Then she kept being honest and said nothing and did nothing. Shoujing might really put her on a tree in the deep mountains and let her wait for someone to rescue her. But if she tried to persuade Shoujing to let her go in advance, it would be best if she failed, and Shoujing had no reason to kill her.
In order to get home early and to make parents worry for a few hours, Lu Mingyu wanted to give it a try.
"Master Shoujing, you're walking too fast. My stomach hurts. Can you let me go?" Lu Mingyu said timidly, with big eyes pity on the man. After saying the request, he immediately expressed his loyalty, "I'm very obedient. I'll follow you obediently. Master Shoujing let me go down. Your shoulders make my stomach uncomfortable."
The seven or eight-year-old girl is very beautiful and so well-behaved. Shou Jing pursed her lips and suddenly squatted down, staring at Lu Mingyu hard, "You are walking too slowly, I will carry you away, but you must hold my neck honestly and dare to move around. I, I will throw you to the ground and throw you to death."
The blood on his forehead was already dry, but it still looked scary. Lu Mingyu nodded in horror. After being carried by Shoujing, looking at Shoujing's honest side face, Lu Mingyu felt a little more at ease. A real evil person would not care whether a child's stomach hurts. Shoujing was willing to treat her like this, which shows that he still retained some kindness in his bones.
Lu Mingyu decided to continue his efforts, holding the man's neck with his little hand and putting his head on the man's shoulder, and asked naively: "Master Shoujing, why is your forehead bleeding? Does it hurt?"
Shoujing paused, looked at the girl on her shoulders, shook her head, and said softly: "It doesn't hurt."
Lu Mingyu didn't believe it, blinked his eyes, and tears burst out from his eyes, "My neck is bleeding, it hurts very much. Master Shoujing has shed more than me, so how could it not hurt? Master Shoujing, I'll blow it for you, and it won't hurt if you blow it."
The little girl is innocent and kind, but the more kind the more the person who bullies her, the more conscience it makes. Shoujing didn't want to accept this kindness, so she pretended to be fierce again and said to Lu Mingyu viciously: "I don't care, you don't have to worry about it. If you dare to say a word, I will throw you down."
Lu Mingyu hid behind him and told him with his actions that she would never dare to do it again.
Shoujing was inexplicably disappointed, but escaping was important. He no longer cared about the girl's mood and strided forward. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, a cry of patience suddenly came from behind him, thrusting and thrusting. Shoujing frowned and turned his head to look back. The girl buried her head, and he could only see Lu Mingyu's scattered black hair.
"Why are you crying?" Shoujing asked impatiently.
"I miss my dad..." Lu Mingyu said vaguely while crying, "My dad is blind. He doesn't like to go out. I promised to be a crutch for him and he accompanied me to burn incense. Now that Master Shoujing and I have left, my dad must be angry and will never accompany me to go out again..."
I was stupid and cried very sadly.
Shoujing suddenly thought of his daughter. Once, her daughter was playing and scratched her knees and hid in the quilt early to sleep at night. When he came back from work, he asked his wife why she slept so early. The wife chuckled and said that her daughter was pretending to be asleep, but she was actually afraid of being punished by her father. But how could he be willing to beat her daughter for such a trivial matter?
The little girl behind her was also stupid. When she came home, her father would only love her more.
"Stop crying, your father won't be angry." Since kidnapped this little girl, Shoujing has been suppressing her longing for her daughter, but at this moment, he couldn't help it. It was his fault for the little girl to cry so sadly, and he couldn't ignore it.
Lu Mingyu secretly raised the corners of his mouth, wiped his eyes, and asked him why he didn't know that his father wouldn't be angry. Then he hit the iron while it was hot and started chatting with Shoujing, "Master Shoujing, they said you killed someone, why did you kill someone? I don't think you look like a bad person. Did someone beat you up and you fight back?"
Why kill someone?
Shoujing's eyes became empty.
He didn't want to kill people, because the law was too strict, it would be fine if he beat him, but he scolded his mother after the beating. Shoujing could endure hardships, but he would never tolerate others scolding his family, his family... He had no father since he was a child, and it was his mother who worked hard to raise him up. He worked hard to make money and married a beautiful wife. The wife was gentle and virtuous, and gave birth to a lively and lovely daughter for him. Shoujing thought that his good life would continue, but the village chief's playboy son took advantage of his absence and broke into his house in broad daylight, trying to bully and insult his wife. The mother stepped forward to stop him, and was pushed away by the playboy and hit the cabinet. She died. The daughter helped her mother beat the bad guy and was kicked to death by the playboy. The wife...
The wife was ruined by a playboy. She waited for him to come home alive, told him who had harmed them, and then died while he was not paying attention.
Shoujing forgot how he survived those days. He only remembered that he killed his enemy's family and was chased by the government.
Shoujing was very tired and had been carrying a secret for several years, and he suddenly wanted to tell it.
Behind him is a seven or eight-year-old girl. She is innocent and flawless. Shoujing wants her to know that he is not a bad person. He is forced to do nothing and has to be crazy. He wants her to know that he did not intentionally kidnap her. He just wants to live. Why is Shoujing unable to explain clearly. He just wants to live and burn some paper money for his family every year so that they will not have money to spend there.
Lu Mingyu was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect Shoujing to live such a miserable life.
She wanted to persuade Shoujing to let her go earlier, but she couldn't speak at this time.
If you can't speak, the timing is not right.
After a long time, Lu Mingyu lay on the man's shoulder, his face looked out, and asked in a low voice: "How old is your daughter?"
Shoujing then realized that he had tears on his face. He raised his hand to wipe it off without answering.
Lu Mingyu closed her mouth tactfully.
Before she knew what happened in the afternoon, the red sun was on the west side and was about to set. Lu Mingyu was panicked. She still remembered the way she came, but if it was dark, she would definitely get lost. Moreover, Lu Mingyu did not dare to walk alone in the dark forests.
"Master Shoujing, I want to go home. We have walked so far. Have you let me go?" Without going around the bush, Lu Mingyu begged sincerely. It was really far enough. In addition to the time she ran back herself, it was enough Shoujing to get out.
"Do you want to go back by yourself?" Shoujing was not stupid. He guessed the little girl's intention, but he could not let anyone go at this time. "This place is too far from Anguo Temple. You can't go back alone. Obediently, I'll put you on the tree. You can sleep well and you will see your parents tomorrow." Shoujing looked around and found an old tree. He walked under the tree, raised Lu Mingyu high, and asked her to climb up.
Lu Mingyu was extremely excited and made up her mind. When Shoujing left, she jumped off the tree and went home along the same road.
"Don't come down, be obedient." Shoujing raised her head and said to the girl who was obedient with her tree branch tightly.
Lu Mingyu nodded repeatedly, with sincere concern in his big eyes, "Master Shoujing, go quickly, escape far away, don't come back."
Shoujing smiled bitterly, what else did he do? He once again told Lu Mingyu not to come down by himself. Shoujing lowered his eyes, stood silently for a while, and walked eastward. The little girl was simple, but tomorrow the officers and soldiers would definitely ask the little girl where he was going, and he must be cautious.
The man left, Lu Mingyu lay on the tree, looking at the man's back gradually moving away, feeling complicated. She thought she had already had a hard time in her previous life, but compared with Shoujing, her life was much better...
The mountain wind blew, and the heights became colder. Lu Mingyu clenched his collar and finally began to worry about his situation. His eyes moved to the future, but stopped halfway. Lu Mingyu covered his mouth in time and stared at the dark shadow in the forest in disbelief.
There is really someone, a man in black, whose face is blurred and unable to see clearly, only knowing that he is secretly approaching Shoujing.
Who was the other party? Did she save her? But the monk who had surrounded Shoujing before was not dressed like this. He was not a monk or his own ward. Could it be that other green forest gangsters were ready to attack Shoujing and see if there was any gold and silver to be made? Then will he catch her again after he killed Shoujing?
Lu Mingyu's face turned pale. Shoujing would not harm her at least, the man in black who appeared like a ghost...
Lu Mingyu opened his mouth and wanted to remind Shoujing, but this idea came up. The man in black suddenly rushed towards Shoujing!
Shoujing heard the footsteps rushing towards him, and he subconsciously turned around and the man in black was caught in his eyes. After just one encounter, Shoujing knew that he was no match for the visitor. He ran forward desperately, but Chu Xing estimated the distance before attacking. Since he took action, how could he ask the prisoner to escape?
This man killed a great monk before the emperor left the palace in a concealed manner. His behavior was too suspicious and he had to arrest people.
As if he was as sharp as an arrow, Chu Xing quickly caught up with Shou Jing. His sword was unsheathed. Shou Jing dodged in a mess. Chu Xing turned around and the long sword in his hand quickly passed through Shou Jing's legs. Lu Mingyu was far away and could not see whether the sword stabbed Shou Jing, but he saw Shou Jing staggering and stumbled straight to the ground.
Lu Mingyu covered her mouth, dared not look, and was also nervous about how the man in black would deal with Shou Jing.
"Who are you?" Chu Xing pointed the sword tip at Shou Jing's neck. He asked coldly, staring at Shou Jing like a phoenix-eyed eagle, examining the authenticity.
Shoujing was close to him and recognized Chu Xing's official uniform. Then he looked at his right leg stabbed by the man. Shoujing knew that he could not escape anymore, but instead felt relieved. He lay on the ground on his back and looked at the bright sunset in the sky. A relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He wanted to say that he had told the little girl that he was taken back by the officers and soldiers now, and they were all dead. That was better...
"I'm sorry to tell Miss Lu for me, and I said Shoujing was sorry for her. When I got down to Huangquan, I would chant scriptures for her, begging the Buddha to bless her life with peace and happiness." After saying that, he looked up and wanted to commit suicide by using Chu Xing's sword. Chu Xing quickly moved his sword away. Shoujing laughed, and turned the dagger in his hand and pierced it quickly and accurately.
Chu Xing frowned and looked at the man on the ground again. Thinking back to what he said before his death, he suddenly realized that this man was definitely not an assassin.
Since the murderer was dead, Chu Xing put away his long sword, took out the arrow from his waist, and informed his subordinates in the Hoi Anguo Temple. With a "swoosh", the arrow shot into the sky. At the same time, a "bang" sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from a distance. Chu Xing looked over in confusion, but saw that the little girl who was still on the tree had jumped down, obviously injured her feet, and limped towards the bottom of the mountain.
"Fourth Girl?" Chu Xing immediately ran towards the little girl.
A strange voice, a familiar name, Lu Mingyu's body "running away from the road" must have turned around in surprise. The man in black ran backwards. The brilliant golden sunset blurred his facial features. He was only tall and tall. When he approached, Lu Mingyu finally recognized her eldest uncle in her previous life, but Chu Xing, how could he be here?
Lu Mingyu was shocked and forgot his words.
The little girl was wearing a pink skirt and stood dumbly under the tree. Chu Xing stood in front of her, breathing smoothly as usual, which showed that she was chasing the prisoner easily. Her eyes flashed across her future younger brother and sister's face, although her tender but equally beautiful face, Chu Xing looked straight at Lu Mingyu's slightly raised left foot, "Are you injured?"
Lu Mingyu came back to her senses and her face suddenly turned red.
If she had known it was Chu Xing, why would she jump off the tree rashly? It seemed that it was not tall, but she jumped down but twisted her feet, which hurt so much...
As soon as the word "death" came to my mind, Lu Mingyu suddenly remembered something and looked anxiously in Shoujing's direction, "Cousin, Shoujing..."
"He committed suicide because of his crime." Chu Xing said calmly, squatting down, staring at the feet of his future younger brother and sister with a serious expression. Obviously, he cared more about his brother and sister's injuries than a monk who committed suicide because of his crime. He cared about it and had a headache. Although his brother and sister were still young, it should be okay for him to pinch his bones and check his injuries, but after all, he was a brother and sister.
Just as he was worried, he suddenly heard a low cry. Chu Xing raised his eyes and met the little girl's sad face with tears on her face. He looked at the monk and muttered to himself, "It's all my fault. If I had recognized my cousin's uncle earlier, he wouldn't have to die..." In Lu Mingyu's opinion, Shoujing's two murders were understandable. He kidnapped her but took care of her carefully. He was really not a bad person.
Chu Xing never expected that the little girl not only did not want to be afraid of the bad guy who kidnapped her, but instead blamed herself for the other party's death. She knew that Shoujing must have said something to Lu Mingyu in just half a day. Chu Xing temporarily suppressed his doubts and comforted his younger brother and sister in front of him first, "The fourth girl said it wrong. Even if you recognize me, I will still catch him back and kill someone to pay for his life. No one can escape."
"But he didn't kill someone on purpose." Lu Mingyu wiped away his tears and looked at Chu Xing seriously, "Cousin, he..."
"It's not possible if it's intentional." Chu Xing interrupted her coldly for defending Shoujing, "Human life is at stake, no one is qualified to take other people's lives."
Lu Mingyu knew how hard Shoujing was. Now that he was dead, Chu Xing didn't even want to listen to his difficulties. Lu Mingyu felt impulsive in his chest and couldn't help asking, "Since that's the case, shouldn't it be that cousin's uncle should kill people on the battlefield?"
Chu Xing was stunned, and the phoenix eyes looked into the little girl's eyes for the first time.
He was cold and his eyes were scary than when he was angry. Lu Mingyu suddenly regretted it and bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, "I'm sorry, cousin, I said it wrong." She shouldn't compare Shoujing's revenge and killing people with Chu Xing's killing of enemies for the people. Perhaps Chu Xing was right, Shoujing's killing would be rewarded for his life. Just thinking about the suffering Shoujing suffered, Lu Mingyu's eyes became sore, and her newly filled tears fell down.
Seeing the falling tear, a hint of panic flashed clearly on Chu Xing's handsome face, which had always been calm.
