Farming and reading lady

On this day, Gu Xixian and his sister said goodbye to their master's wife as usual and walked out of the mansion together. That's right, they didn't take a carriage, but walked. Tong Mansion and Zhenguogong Mansion are not far apart. Since the brother and sister went to school together, they have been walking to school. After all, the law and order is still good under the emperor's feet. But who would have thought that today, not long after the brother and sister left the mansion, they keenly sensed someone following them from behind, and the staring eyes could clearly feel that there was no good intention.

The brother and sister tightened their clasped hands, looked at each other without saying a word, but quickened their pace.

"Brother, there are people in front." Having lived two lives, Gu Xixian's sixth sense is very sharp. Although no one is looking for her in the group, alarm bells are already ringing in her heart.

Gu Xihao also noticed it. He stroked the back of his sister's hand with his fingertips and said in a deep voice, "Hmm. They are here with bad intentions. It seems they are targeting the two of us. They are attacking us from both sides and trying to force us out of the city."

Gu Xixian nodded. These people obviously didn't want them to go back to Tong Mansion or to Zhenguogong Mansion. There was a spark boiling in her blood. She was just like that. She was actually very timid on weekdays, but the more dangerous she was, the calmer her mind became. "Brother, maybe it's better to leave the city and see who is picking on us."

The fact that Gu Xihao agreed with his sister's decision can only be said to be that he is a young man who is not afraid of tigers.

Seeing that the two men were heading out of the city as they had expected, the two groups of people who were surrounding them smiled at each other, and soon gathered together and squeezed towards Gu Xixian and his sister.

"Brother, there are six of them in total. They all seem to be martial artists, but they shouldn't be the very powerful ones." Gu Xixian analyzed. Although they all looked very burly, their lower bodies didn't look that stable.

"These people are enough to deal with our two 'powerless' little brats." Gu Xihao raised a cruel smile, if the brother and sister were really powerless.

"Well, this is exactly what we want. Brother, can you take the stuff with you?" This is the secret weapon of the brother and sister, and no one knows about it.

Gu Xihao nodded: "Don't worry, I always carry it with me. Except when I go to the examination room, I never leave it."

"Hehehe", Gu Xixian laughed like a pig. Her favorite game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger was about to begin.

They were forced to exit from the North Gate. Of the four gates in the capital, the North Gate was the most deserted, and few people usually went in and out from there. The soldiers standing guard at the exit of the North Gate were very responsible, standing straight. They didn't know how to check people entering the city, but the exit procedure was very simple, and they were allowed to leave the city with just a few questions.

The brother and sister looked around after leaving the city. There was only a small path covered with wild flowers and weeds. They didn't know where it led to. Anyway, there was no human habitation within 500 meters, and there was no one walking on the road. This was really a good place to kill people and silence them. No wonder they forced their brother and sister to go this way.

"Brother, the grass is so long. This is a good place to play hide-and-seek." It takes all the strength of an eagle to catch a rabbit, and they are not so arrogant as to not use a better method if they have one.

Needless to say, the brother and sister were in perfect sync, and their thin bodies were hidden in the grass that was more than one meter high, so it was really hard to detect them. The brother and sister squatted in the grass without moving, holding the iron chain with a short stick at each end wrapped around their waists.

The people chasing behind eventually slowed down their pace because of the distance they had maintained before. Although the inquiry at the city gate was simple, it still took some time. Therefore, when they walked out of the city gate, they were a little confused when they looked at the empty path.

"Boss, those two little bastards seem to be gone." A tall, burly man who looked a little dazed said in a buzzing voice.

The big man called the boss glared at him and said, "If it's missing, then go look for it. Why are you standing there like an idiot? Look for it quickly."

"Boss, those two kids couldn't run that fast in such a short time. Look how long the grass is next to it. They must be hiding in it." The other one seemed to be smarter. He looked around and then set his sights on the grass.

"Well, everyone, line up in a row and dig through the grass about two meters apart. A weak boy and an eight-year-old girl don't have the ability to disappear so far. Be careful and look for them well. It's like picking up silver for free to have such an easy task fall on us." The boss felt as relaxed as his words. It was like picking up heads and giving away silver.

This arrangement just happened to benefit the Gu Xixian siblings. The one closest to them was the young man. He was pulling at the grass while yelling, "Fuck, what the hell is this? Why does it cut my hands? Damn, it's scratching my hands and making them bleed. Oh, why do my feet hurt so much? Damn this rotten grass."

The one closest to him was the eldest brother. He couldn't stand his constant nagging and cursed, "Silly, shut up and find them for me. If you find them, bring the heads of the two little bastards back and I'll give you a wife."

"Okay, Boss." Sha Gen smiled foolishly and squatted down to check his feet. As a result...the six eyes met in the bushes. Just as Sha Gen was about to speak, an iron chain strangled his neck and pressed him to the ground. At the same time, a pair of small hands covered his mouth. Sha Gen's eyes widened, and then he saw a sharp knife jump out of the half stick held by the little girl. His neck was cut like this, and he didn't make a sound until he died.

A quarter of an hour later, voices came one after another, reporting the results of the search: "Boss, no."

After four people came out in a row, the boss's fierce brows knitted together. He glanced at the four people and said, "Where's Shagen? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

He opened his voice and shouted: "Shagen, Shagen..."

The swirling wind brought a slight echo, and he immediately realized something was wrong. He waved his hand gently, and the four of them surrounded the place where Shagen had just entered. The five of them saw Shagen's eyes wide open, as if he was unwilling to close his eyes. The blood on his neck dyed the grass around him red.

The eldest brother reached out and touched Sha Gen's eyes, and said to the other four people, "Look carefully at the footprints around you."

Although their group was not very strong in combat, they were not novices, and they checked the marks in the brush very professionally.

Gu Xixian was so happy. She was always worried about their small bodies, but they just squatted down and let them eat. Unexpectedly, the brother and sister each took one. Because the brother and sister's actions were too sudden and fast, before the other three could react, they scratched the arms of two of them.

"Bastard!" Seeing his companions suffer heavy casualties in such a short period of time, the fierce light in the boss's eyes almost became real.

The brother and sister retreated quickly, two to three, and even though two of them were injured, they both remained calm.

"Who sent you here?" Gu Xihao asked coldly.

"The dead don't need to know so much." The eldest brother only thought that the weapons in the hands of the brother and sister were powerful and could hurt people unexpectedly, but when they appeared and confronted each other, the brother and sister were as easy for him to kill as killing a chick.

"Brother, don't waste time talking to them. If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. If they don't want to talk, then they won't talk. It doesn't matter." Gu Xixian looked at the fierceness in the eyes of the three men. Instead of wasting time on questioning them, he might as well strike them down when they didn't take him seriously.
