Still pity the grass and trees

The road to Xiangyang is not easy.

Ji Tanyin didn't realize this at first. He thought that as long as he walked to the backcountry and avoided the officers and soldiers of the guards, no one would make trouble for them. The food and clothing on the road were just poor, so it was not unbearable.What's more, being with Xie Wufeng is always very interesting.He has traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, knows many allusions and anecdotes, and has a good tongue. He can tell even monotonous and boring stories with ups and downs, which caused Ji Tanyin to ask frequently, "And then?"

At this time, Xie Wufeng said: "If you let me kiss you, I will tell you."

He started to speak frivolously again, and made fun of him frequently. Ji Tanyin couldn't understand his capriciousness, but he was no longer easily fooled, so he turned his head away with a "hmph" and said, "Who rarely knows."

Anyway, Xie Wufeng will still speak in the end, which shows that his words cannot be taken seriously.From this, Ji Tanyin thought that Xie Wufeng must have kissed many people, he can kiss anyone, they are no different to him.

He felt a little bit sad, just a little bit, and it didn't hurt.No matter what, Xie Wufeng saved his life, and he didn't complain about being involved in such a situation, which shows that in his heart, he still has some weight.

They left Luyi, crossed Dancheng, Shenqiu, Xiangcheng, and arrived at the territory of Runing Mansion, the journey was quite smooth.

Holding the shriveled water bag and dry food bag, Ji Tanyin asked Xie Wufeng, "How far is it to Wadian?"

"Twenty or thirty miles."

"At that time, I will go to the city to buy some things, and you will wait for me outside the city."

Xie Wufeng nodded, and took out the eggplant bag for him.Ji Tanyin refused to answer, he still had some psychological burden on the "stolen money": "No need."

Xie Wufeng was not annoyed, he slowly withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "Ayin, let me teach you a truth, if you have other people's money to spend, don't use your own."

It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was shining on the still-heated land. The shrubs on both sides of the road trembled slightly, and a group of sparrows landed on them fluttered their wings and flew straight into the sky.

"Let me teach you another truth," Xie Wufeng grasped the Shensha sword at some point, tightened his fingers one by one, looked straight ahead solemnly, and said to Ji Tanyin, "If your sword is destined to be stained with blood, then it will be stained with the enemy's blood." blood."

Ji Tanyin was still confused, when suddenly there was a "crash", and a big man came out of the bushes on the left, with green debris on his shoulders, and said coldly: "Okay! Since I told you to see it, we will not hide it. No regular customer, you treacherous villain! Kill my sworn brother, today is your death day!"

While he was speaking, seven other men appeared from four directions, east, west, north, south, all tall and big, wearing rough brown clothes, with their hair tied into pigtails behind their heads, and holding sharp knives.One person said: "Brother, why are you talking nonsense with such a bastard! Don't dare to act aboveboard, you will only stab people in the back! Kill him today to avenge Lao Jiu!"

Chasing the wind and chasing the moon seemed to be aware of the murderous intent, and scratched his hooves uneasily. Ji Tanyin instinctively leaned towards Xie Wufeng, and asked nervously, "Who are they?"

These eight people are all from a family of practitioners, with good martial arts skills. The man called "Big Brother" has a long thin face, a hooked nose, bulging temples on both sides, and a fierce look on his face.

Hearing Ji Tanyin's question, he shot his sharp eyes over and said quite complacently: "We are the Nine Sons of Chongyang, who are you? It must not be a good thing to mix with this thief!"

Ji Tanyin frowned. The name Chongyang Nine Sons was somewhat familiar, and he didn't have the impression that he was a righteous man.Before he could tell his name, another person said: "Brother, what are you talking about with him, just kill him together!"

"No, this kid looks upright, stay here for me to play."

The others let out a wretched laugh at the same time.

Another person said: "Second brother, you should be more merciful, the last one died after two days, this one seems to be in better health, I'll bet on three days!"

They talked unscrupulously in front of Ji Tanyin, as if he had become something in the bag, meat on the board.Although Ji Tanyin didn't fully understand, he felt a strong sense of insult and flew into a rage.When he was about to draw his sword, Xie Wufeng held him down and said in a low voice: "I'll come, you watch the horse."

"But..." There were eight people on the opposite side, and Ji Tanyin was worried that he was no match.

Xie Wufeng said indifferently: "These shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they just cooked them casually."

Ji Tanyin was taken aback for a moment, this was a joke he boasted the day we first met, but now Xie Wufeng uttered it, full of provocation.

The arrogant laughter of the Chongyang Nine Sons stopped abruptly, and they let out a few sporadic cold snorts to hide it. The "Second Brother" covered by Xie Wufeng's cold eyes, with a fleshy face, shouted boldly: "Traitor, see the King of Hades!" go!"

Chongyang Nine Sons—one was killed by Xie Wufeng, and now they are the eighth sons. They burst into flames at the same time amidst his shouts, and rushed towards Xie Wufeng.

Xie Wufeng rolled lightly and jumped off the horseback. His body was pressed down very low, almost parallel to the ground. The Shensha sword swiped around his side, avoiding the stabbing sharp knife, and swept towards the opponent's lower body.

The nine figures were mixed together, and the weapons quickly intersected, making crisp or dull sounds.Ji Tanyin held the reins of Chasing the Wind and Moon with his left hand and the Yingxue Sword tightly with his right hand, watching the fight nervously.

The nine sons of Chongyang are sworn brothers, and they usually practice together, and their positions and moves are coordinated very tacitly.After a few moves, Ji Tanyin saw that these people had profound martial arts skills, and couldn't help but sweat for Xie Wufeng.

Xie Wufeng was faster and more treacherous than usual. The flickering blue light wove a cold net all over his body. This net did not passively wait for the prey, but changed its shape like flowing water, rushing left and right according to the owner's will. .Ji Tanyin stared unblinkingly, but couldn't freeze Xie Wufeng's figure, because his moves changed too fast, and they were always unexpected and chaotic.

What happened to him today?

Ji Tanyin had a very vague feeling that Xie Wufeng seemed to be very anxious this time against the enemy. strength.

After a cup of tea time, Jian Guang suddenly tore apart the saber array, turned into a long snake, and rushed towards the man in the Dui position.

Ji Tanyin's eyes widened suddenly.In the chaos, he saw a puddle of blood sprayed straight into the air, and then turned into a rain of blood, sprinkled on the fighting crowd.Who among the nine sons of Chongyang made an exclamation, several people were so frightened that they forgot to move, only Xie Wufeng was indifferent, without the slightest pause, he slanted his wrist and stabbed at the seventh son of Kun.

A head flew towards Ji Tanyin, spinning in the air like a top, with swollen eyes, flat nose, and thick lips, it was the "Second Brother".

Ji Tanyin retreated a few steps hastily, his bleeding head landed on a bush not far away, and stared at him with cloudy eyes.Feeling unwell, he picked up a stone and smashed his head into the greenery.

There was another scream, and the third child had an arm cut off.Ji Tanyin waited and watched with complicated emotions, seeing Xie Wufeng's shirt dotted with scarlet, suddenly felt a little vague fear of him.

After another two sticks of incense, the nine Chongyang sons were either dead or injured, and only the eldest and the seventh were still struggling to support them.Ji Tanyin found that Xie Wufeng's sword was not so fast, and his movement became sluggish.He thought it was an intentional trick, but when Lao Qi's knife came from behind, Xie Wufeng didn't dodge.

"Be careful!" Ji Tanyin rushed over, and the Yingxue sword slashed at the enemy's wrist, but he came a step too late, Xie Wufeng was stabbed in the left shoulder, blood oozing densely.

"Big brother!" The third child with a broken arm cried anxiously while covering his wound.

The boss gritted his teeth and yelled "Get out", and the four people who were still alive fled like burning their buttocks, regardless of helping the sworn brother to collect the body.

"Are you okay?" Ji Tanyin stretched out his hand and paused in the air.

Xie Wufeng shook his head, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word until those people ran away, suddenly his figure shook, and he fell to the ground.

Ji Tanyin was startled, and quickly supported him, touching his skin, and found that Xie Wufeng's body temperature was unusually low.

"What’s wrong with you!"

"It's okay. I have a porcelain bottle in my luggage. Bring me a red pill." Xie Wufeng's breath was also cold. He felt very embarrassed and struggled to stand up. He didn't want Ji Tanyin to see him like this. Unfortunately, his hands and feet It became more and more stiff, unable to listen at all, and finally fell to the ground in despair.

In a panic, Ji Tanyin took out the pills from the bag, and when she looked back, she saw Xie Wufeng lying upright, like a corpse, and her voice changed in fright: "Medicine! Your medicine!"

Xie Wufeng tried to raise his arm to take the medicine, but the joint seemed to be frozen into ice, and it was difficult to move an inch.

"What happened to you!"

Ji Tanyin fed the pill into Xie Wufeng's mouth with trembling fingertips, and tears fell on his face.

Xie Wufeng's eyelids trembled, and he struggled to pull the corners of his mouth, trying to force a smile.

This is the warmest rain he has ever been exposed to.

It was late at night, and an indifferent moon hung on the top of the distant mountain.Ji Tanyin half-kneeled beside Xie Wufeng, breathing the smelly air, and tightly holding his cold hand.Not far away, several crows were pecking at the corpses of Chongyang Nine Sons, one of them flew towards Xie Wufeng, but Ji Tanyin frantically drove it away.

Xie Wufeng did not die.He had only confirmed it a moment ago, and now he leaned down again nervously, pressing his ear to the other's chest.

Xie Wufeng's heartbeat stopped for a while, but later recovered together with his body temperature. Ji Tanyin could hear a slow and weak "plop plop", like a dozing monk casually knocking on a wooden fish.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, thinking that this image was very suitable for Xie Wufeng.

Why is he still awake?

A thin misty cloud covered the moon, and the surroundings became more and more gloomy and cold.The change in the environment seemed to indicate something, and Ji Tanyin began to feel anxious again, and couldn't help leaning over and calling Xie Wufeng's name.

For a long time, Xie Wufeng's fingers moved in his palm.Ji Tanyin was ecstatic, and called him more hastily.

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Wufeng woke up slowly, his eyes opened a long and narrow slit, and his voice was as frivolous and lazy as usual: "It's so noisy."

Ji Tanyin's heart that had been raised for a long time finally fell to the ground. He relaxed and sat on the grass. He didn't realize that he was crying again until he tasted the salty taste at the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately.

Xie Wufeng looked at him quietly, his eyes were sour, and he pulled out a weird smile: "Ayin shed a lot of tears for me."

Ji Tanyin bent his knees, folded his arms, buried his face, and said with a choked voice, "Nonsense."

Xie Wufeng supported the ground and sat up slowly, moved his hands and feet slightly, felt the warm blood and weak true energy reflowing between the meridians, and said to Ji Tanyin: "Where are you talking nonsense, what a crybaby."

Ji Tanyin didn't respond, and after a while, a voice came from the cloth: "I thought you were dead."

"It's not that easy to die." Xie Wufeng looked down at the tattered and blood-stained robe that had been scratched by the sword, frowned, took it off in two or three, and threw it far away.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Ji Tanyin heard the noise, looked up, and was anxious: "The dew is heavy at night, you were so cold just now, why did you throw away your clothes!"

Xie Wufeng was only wearing white gauze, a few strands of black hair were loose, hanging messily by his ears, against his sharp facial features, there was a kind of strangeness.

Ji Tanyin was stunned for a moment, and was hugged by Xie Wufeng.

"It's okay, just hug Ayin and you'll get hot."

His embrace was very strong, like a vine entangled in a green tree, and when Ji Tanyin moved a little, the circle became tighter.

"You..." Ji Tanyin felt his heart jump out of his throat as soon as he opened his mouth, and said quickly, "Your wound is bleeding again!"

The knife wound on Xie Wufeng's left shoulder was not serious. Before that, his body suddenly became cold, which stagnated the blood. Now that he came to his senses, small blood bubbles began to emerge from the edge of the wound.

Xie Wufeng hugged the person in his arms, with mixed feelings, no matter how hard he tried it was not enough, he said in a hoarse voice: "It hurts, help me blow it."

"I don't." Now that Xie Wufeng has woken up, Ji Tanyin doesn't want to show that he cares too much about him, it's embarrassing enough for him to see his previous gaffe.

"But I really hurt."

After a while, Xie Wufeng felt a thin, warm air blowing on his shoulders, he turned his head with a smile, and kissed Ji Tanyin's temple lightly.
