Hibiscus Moon

In the chaotic mountains and snowy night, a lonely stranger.

Last night coincided with a heavy snowfall. Thousands of trees and pear blossoms were all over the sky and fields. Outside the forest, a man was walking alone on the narrow path. His face was covered by a gray hood, and his figure was faintly visible under the thin clothes. , Occasionally, a wisp of black hair was rolled up by the strong wind, which turned out to be a satin-like color, revealing a bit of gorgeousness.

There are three young men riding on three horses in front of them. They wear fox fur brocade robes and angry horses with jade crowns. They are from rich and noble families. They are talking and laughing all the way, and they don't know where they are going.

But when I looked closely, I saw that they were all carrying sidearms, revealing their identities as Jianghu people.

The three of them were talking and laughing, but when they saw the man in the hood, they all silently silenced. Seeing the man coming towards the wind, his steps were light and his head was extremely low. Covering his face, the cold wind blows out his demeanor.

The man passed them by, walking alone in the snow, without revealing the slightest trace, except for a row of shallow footprints.

After the man left, the young gentlemen in brocade robes turned their twisted necks around and took a deep breath.

"What a stunning man!" The man in the apricot-colored long dress sighed long and long. He was covered with a purple cloak and a white jade crown.

In addition, the man in the black fox fur has a long face, wide nose, and sallow complexion, but his eyes are shining with meaningful light. He smiled lightly and said, "How can the second brother judge that she is a beauty with just a back view?"

The man in apricot clothes looked back at the back again, and murmured: "The willow shakes the spring breeze, and the birds follow the fragrance. The delicate steps are unparalleled in the world. Judging from the eyes of my brother who has experienced countless women, such a beautiful back, She must be a stunning beauty!"

The man in Tsing Yi who did not speak at the side had a baby face, and his voice was a little immature: "Since the second brother is so determined, why don't we go find out, I think this man is quite tall, if he is a man, the second brother will miss it." Haha."

"I bet a cucumber, it must be a woman!"

"Bet on two chrysanthemums, he is a man, how about it?"

The man in Tsing Yi hadn't finished laughing, the other two had already turned around, but they stopped in front of the hooded man.

"Girl, please stay. I'm waiting for my brother to get lost in the mountains. Dare I ask you, which direction is Izumo Mountain going?" .

Unexpectedly, the hooded man didn't look up, shook his head and rushed forward.

"Girl, you haven't answered our question, how can you just walk away?"

The man in black stopped in front of him again, a smile appeared on his sallow face, and his words were slightly frivolous.

The hooded man had nowhere to go, surrounded by three fine horses, neither looked up nor made a sound.

"Why doesn't the girl speak? As long as you open your mouth, we will let you go."

"..."

"Could it be that you are a mute, then look up and let me see your face."

"..."

"Brother, could it be that this person is both deaf and dumb?" the man in Tsing Yi asked.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can see her face." The man in Xingshang had a wicked smile on his lips, and he had already picked the man's hood with the tip of his knife. The man wanted to dodge, but he was not fast enough. It happened that a gust of cold wind blew in the face, blowing off the black hair that covered the cheeks, and blowing away the gray hood, and time was frozen like this, it was a surprise in the cold winter snow.

The man showed his original face, as if bullying frost and snow, he looked up at the people coldly, only heard the sound of gasping and melting in the wind and snow, shattering the demeanor of the ground, the three of them had already become stunned like a bird.

So he picked up his steps, bent over, picked up his hood, and continued on his way.

The man in apricot clothes was the first to realize that he was not willing to let him go. He stopped in front of him with a shining sword: "The girl is so beautiful, why are you walking here alone in this winter? If you follow my three brothers, you will definitely be here." I will not treat you badly."

The man in the hood didn't respond, just walking with his head bowed like the three brocade-clothed men in front of him.

"Beauty, don't make a toast and refuse to eat fine wine, we three brothers have plenty of ways to make you submit!" The man in Tsing Yi shouted loudly.

The man in Xingshang stopped him, and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't scare the beauty. Since the beauty thinks that we are not sincere enough, then let's show some sincerity."

He slowly put away the sword and got off the horse. Seeing him approaching, the man in the hood suddenly took a step back and drew out a long sword.

"Oh, the beauty can also kung fu, so that's even more interesting."

As he spoke, a small grabber stepped forward, and the hooded man nimbly dodged and came with his sword. The man in apricot clothes was a little surprised, but then he was even more excited, and immediately the two men gave each other a wink, looking good Watching the game of cat and mouse like a play.

This hooded woman's swordsmanship is very good, but she didn't use a trace of internal strength. Even the best swordsmanship turned into fists and embroidered legs. After several rounds, the man in apricot clothes grabbed both hands, hugged her waist from behind, and hugged her waist. He took a breath, and spoke frivolously: "Look, brother caught you."

The woman suddenly turned her head and gave him a cold look: "Let me go, or you will regret it!"

"Ah, you're not dumb. How can you be willing to let go of a beauty like you... Ah——" With a scream, the man let go of his hand, lying on the ground writhing in pain with his hands in his hands, "You ...how dare you..."

The hooded woman held three bloody silver needles in her right hand, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Hmph, cutting off children and grandchildren is nothing, it's a kindness not to take your life!"

Immediately when the two men heard this, their faces changed drastically, and the man in green clothes pulled out a big knife and flew towards him with a "clang", "How dare you hurt my second brother!"

The hooded woman flicked the silver needle in her hand, took the sword sideways, and started fighting from both sides.

"Kill her! Kill her for me!" The man in Xingsang who rolled on the ground shouted in severe pain.

The man in Tsing Yi spared no effort to kill him with his moves. Not long after, the woman had many wounds on her body, but she never groaned, but her physical strength was gradually exhausted, and her sword moves became slower and slower.

But she suddenly said: "Hmph, kill as soon as you want, you can never get this skin!"

The man in Tsing Yi said angrily: "If you want to die, I won't let you die so easily!"

Then there was an uproar, he swung the sword with both hands and slashed at her right arm, seeing that the blood was about to splash on the snow, he suddenly felt a strong attack from the back of the sword, which made his mouth go numb, but he heard a "clang", The steel knife has been broken into two pieces.

"I didn't expect Sanlang in my dream to bully a weak girl like this in the ice and snow. It really is a beast!" The voice came from a middle-aged woman dressed in a foreign race, with many strange flowers and plants embroidered on her black clothes. Wrapped in a dark red cloak, a red soft whip around his waist, and soft leather boots on his feet, his appearance is not very good-looking, but his eyes are very sharp, and he can tell that he is a person with superb internal skills.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in Sanlang's affairs in my dream!"

"Why, you don't even know my Seventh Lady anymore. Didn't I treat you badly three years ago, and the scars healed so quickly and you forgot the pain?"

The three people trembled when they heard the word "Seventh Lady", the man in black didn't care about the man in apricot clothes, he got up and said: "I don't know it's Seventh Lady, the younger generations don't know Mount Tai, so let's go. "

After saying that, supporting the man in apricot clothes, the three of them fled as if fleeing.

Seven Lady helped the injured woman on the snowy ground, took off the cloak and put it on for her: "Girl, are you okay? How can you be alone in this barren mountain..."

Her words were paused at the moment when the woman raised her head, and she was startled for a moment, but she still couldn't hide her astonishment, and sighed: "You are so beautiful, no wonder you attracted those three disciples."

The woman raised her eyes, showing off the scars all over her body, and her thin figure made her look even more pitiful, beautiful, and then she spoke slowly, with a beautiful voice like pearls: "Thank you for your help."

Seventh Lady helped her up: "You and I are both women. When the road is uneven, we should draw our swords to help. It's just that in this barren mountain, how can such a beautiful woman like you be here alone?"

The woman looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and said: "To be honest, both my parents died when I was young, and I was sold by my uncle to a rich family as a concubine. The master was old and ugly, and the wife always bullied me. Working hard all day long, with little food and clothing, I... I couldn't bear such torture and escaped from home. I was afraid that someone would chase me, so I didn't dare to walk on the road. Unexpectedly, I met those three beasts. Save me, just now I will kill myself and I will never be bullied by them!" After saying that, a chill ran through my body, and I admired my ability to talk nonsense.

In Qin Niangzi's view, she just shivered, and quickly wrapped her cloak tighter, feeling even more compassionate in her heart.
