beg for chivalry

When falling down the slope, Yu Yiwei was at a loss.The night was cold and silent, with thick clouds covering the sky and the moon, and the icy wind and cold rain eating away at his mind.

He struggled desperately, asking himself over and over again: Why didn't he grab the mountain and return to Yu Zhixu?Why did he not notice Yu Zhixu's eyes, and he was caught in the trick and couldn't move?Why didn't he find a few more hemp ropes when he was looking for them in the tunnel, so that they were in danger now?Why did he put the black fire bag in front of Yu Zhixu in the first place, making that person want to commit suicide?

His thoughts seemed to be intertwined and confused, and finally converged into a deafening voice, a question that drove his heart to blood:

"Why... I can't save him?"

The cold wind was like a blade, cutting across the cheeks.Yu Yiwei let out an almost silent, hoarse roar from his throat, and fell from the slope.

The rope around his waist was hanging him, so that he would not fall to his death. His body gradually recovered from the paralysis. Although Yuzhi Xu just tapped his acupoints with all his strength, he was seriously injured after all, so he could only be stiff for a moment.But when he came to his senses, he had been pushed down the slope.

Yu Yiwei moved his fingers with difficulty, holding on to the hemp rope.He stepped hard between the earth and rocks, only to feel that his legs gradually became conscious like ice thawing.He gritted his teeth, and decided to try his best to climb up the dirt slope along the hemp rope after regaining consciousness, and return to the top of the slope to rescue Yu Zhixu.

How many times has Zhi Xu saved him?I'm afraid there are too many to count, from the time when he was at Tianshan Gate to today, he has always been under the care of Yu Zhixu.But even at this time, he was still helpless, unable to lend a helping hand to Yu Zhixu.

His heart was as agitated as a fire, Yu Zhixu was seriously injured, like a fish being beaten by someone's knife, he could only let the Tianlou assassin handle it, if he continued like this, he would definitely die.

But at the moment when Yu Yiwei could move his hands and feet slightly, a bright red spark suddenly bloomed on the side of the slope!Violent tremors swept through his whole body, and fine debris fell on his head and face.He was stunned, only to feel that the hemp rope wrapped around his waist suddenly loosened, and he fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times.

The bones were not hurt, but the leg seemed to be twisted.Yu Yi didn't bear the pain and got up, only to see a bright white color in the wet grass, it was Yu Bingzi who fell from the slope together.The knots on her body were not untied, and she didn't seem to have fallen, but was slightly scratched, and there were a few traces of bright red hanging on her bare arms.

"...Zhi Xu!"

Yu Yi didn't raise his head in panic, but saw a piece of charred rope floating down in front of his eyes, and fell to the ground slumped under his astonished gaze.

A corner of the sky was stained blood red, the rain had stopped a lot, and a fire was burning on a distant slope.

That was the direction where Yuzhi Xu was.

There seemed to be a crack in the heart, and then there was a sound of collapse and shattering from the chest.Before Yu Yi came back to his senses, he was desperately pawing at the earth and rocks on the side of the slope like a wild beast, trying to climb up with his hands and feet, his nails were broken, and he was holding the bloody sand into his palm.

"Zhi Xu...Zhi Xu!" Yu Yiwei yelled tremblingly, "Where are you? You're still alive, right? I'm coming right now, you hold on... I'm coming to save you!"

His head is like crazy, maybe his eyes are full of blood, and everything he sees is bloody.But the next moment, the boiling blood in his chest suddenly cooled down.

Because on the edge of the tall and distant soil slope, a face wearing a ghost mask suddenly protruded.

At first there was only one piece, and then several pieces sprung up like mushrooms after rain.The green-faced and fang-toothed evil spirits looked down and talked together.A few faint words drifted into Yu Yiwei's ears, and the voices of the assassins rang out: "Escape!" "Chasing!" "...Kill him!"

Yu Yi stood there without losing his mind.The appearance of the Houtianlou assassins here just shows that Yu Zhixu failed to stop them and died in Huangquan.

Zhi Xu lit black fire powder on it, and he was so injured that it must be difficult to even move.And he must have blown the fire with all his strength, blocked the black fire with his body, pushed the cart and fell into the Houtianlou assassins, and then struggled painfully in the fire, turning into coke.

The light of the fire gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared in the night.Yu Yiwei stood slumped, raindrops fell into his eyes, as if two oceans were pouring into his eyes.He couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears that slid across his cheeks, but felt that each one was filled with a heart-wrenching desolation.

He suddenly felt very tired, and he was already doing his best just by standing.So Yu Yiwei fell backwards, and his body hit the muddy water heavily.

"At the end of the day, I still can't do anything, can't do anything," he thought.

"I have never won in my whole life, and I have been defeated by God constantly. The days I have lived are all made up of failures and shortcomings, so this time I must be helpless, and I must not be able to save people."

Night fell, tightly covering Yu Yiwei's vision.He was so exhausted at the moment that he didn't want to think about anything.It seems that as long as you don't pay attention to and think about it, Yu Zhixu ignited the black fire and died, the disciples of Tianshanmen were massacred by the assassins of Houtianlou, and the matter of his aging father leaning on the door alone will be written off.

Everywhere in his body was in pain, and his forehead seemed to be on fire.Yu Yiwei was groggy, as if he had fallen into the muddy chaos.He sleeps in the roaring rain like a rotten tree.The chaotic footsteps and conversations of the assassins came from afar, approaching him.But Yu Yi didn't have the strength to struggle anymore, he just wanted to sleep for a long time and let his body rot in this dark sky and darkness.

In a daze, it seemed that someone carried him on his back.

The man trudged through the mud and water with his heavy body on his back.Yu Yi didn't hear the sound of exhaling, one after another, sometimes clear, sometimes hazy, like a cloud of erratic mist.

He lifted his heavy eyelids with great effort, only to see black hair swaying in front of his eyes, the side face of the person with his back was beautiful, the skin was as white as fat, even in the dark night, it seemed to shimmer faintly.

"Bing... son." Yu Yiwei murmured.It was Yu Bingzi who carried him on her back. She looked like a weak little girl, but now she gritted her teeth and panted, carrying his bulky body on her shoulders.

"Your leg is hurt...is it so painful that you can't walk?" Yu Bingzi panted, "It's okay, you saved me earlier, and I will... take you out."

Yu Yi was not extremely tired, his upper and lower eyelids were glued together, he said softly: "Zhi Xu...is still on the hillside."

"Is that...Senior Brother Zhi Xu?" Yu Bingzi was silent.Yu Yi didn't know what kind of turbulent waves were going on in her heart at this moment, he pressed against her thin back, and could only hear a heart beating in it, every beat was like a bell.She sighed, her voice trembling, "Well, yes, that's Senior Brother Zhi Xu."

"I failed to save him... I watched him go to die. It's been like this since before, I can't help you... Every time I make him work hard, and even put my life in it...!" Yu Yiwei burst into tears, trembling and buried his face on Yu Bingzi's back.

"Why wasn't he the one who lived, but me! It should have been me who was captured by Houtianlou back then, and I should have been the one who was tortured to such an extent that he was neither human nor ghost! What use is there for me to live!"

He screamed hoarsely, and vented his tears in tears.The cold rain rustled down like tears from the dome of the sky.

Yu Bingzi listened silently. After a long time, she said softly:

"I want to... tell you a story."

Her voice was clear and gentle, reminding Yu Yiwei of the Jinjiang River gurgling in the early morning, the rising waves fell lightly, and the water drops fell into the silky river surface, ringing like silver bells.For some reason, he gradually calmed down, his beating heart gradually calmed down, and he felt drunk while she was talking.

"Three miles to the west of Lingzhou is my hometown. I grew up in a valley, and when I came out, I only had a rush, and I didn't see much of the world. I was abducted and displaced along the way, and finally arrived at Tianshan Mountain. Senior brother Xu picked it up. But I don’t know the rules after all, even though I have jade beads, I have to learn everything from scratch, so naturally I can’t compare to the disciples.”

"Those days were really hard. I was always clumsy, and I caused trouble for my brothers and sisters. At first I couldn't even hold a sword, and I didn't know how to have morning and evening lessons. When I entered the sword formation, I always stepped on the wrong side. You... have made too many mistakes, so everyone looks at me with supercilious eyes." Yu Bingzi smiled wryly, his eyelashes fluttering in nostalgia, and his light-colored cherry lips parted and closed.

"At that time, I was very frustrated, and I even thought in my heart, anyway, for this sect, I am an outsider, and I shouldn't have my name and surname in the roster. It’s fine to die on the snowfield. I often think, why am I living here? If Senior Brother Zhi Xu hadn’t rescued me, I would have turned into hoarfrost on the snowfield long ago.”

Yu Yiwei listened dazedly, and couldn't help but feel surprised: it turns out that the little junior sister who was loved by everyone was also despised like this.He saw that Yu Bingzi was born with a beautiful appearance, and was quite liked by his peers, but he didn't want to be hated by others just like himself.

"But one day I suddenly changed my mind."

The sound of the rain was loud, and the sound of every drop of water falling into the quagmire seemed to be clearly audible.Yu Yiwei's heart was also clamoring and beating along with the sound of the rain.

Yu Bingzi dragged him, with a crisp voice, and said as if nostalgic: "That day, I made a clumsy mistake again, and stepped on the wrong place in the nine-curved lantern array during morning exercises. Big guy They all looked at me and laughed, and although they didn’t say anything, they took me to the bottom of my heart. I was so depressed that I swayed to the edge of the ice pool in a daze, looking at the reflection on the ice surface and thinking in a daze: “Should I just jump into this ice pool?” In the hole, there will be no troubles?' In this way, people will neither laugh nor be blamed."

"I watched for a while, and suddenly heard a crisp sound. I saw a sword falling from the tip of the branch on the opposite bank, and fell straight into the hole in the ice pond. I heard the panicked screams of the disciples. It turned out to be the Tianshan Gate. His disciple was playing around cutting the new plum blossoms on the branch, but he accidentally dropped the sword in his hand into the ice pond. The sword was tied with jade beads. If he lost it, he would be punished by Elder Xi Xun, so the disciple They paled in shock."

Her voice seemed to have a strange magic power, which made Yu Yiwei's turbulent mood gradually calm down.

"The ice pool is unfathomably deep, and there are thousands of scrapped swords and broken iron standing firmly on the bottom of the ice, so it is named 'Sword Tomb'. No matter what falls into it, it is impossible to pick it up again. People are like this, The same is true for the sword. But even so, there was still a figure who jumped into the ice pool at the same time as the disciple shouted loudly."

Yu Yi didn't hear it in a daze, and it was bumping and swaying on her back like a small boat, and suddenly trembled: "The figure you mentioned...is it me?"

Small laughter came softly, Yu Bingzi giggled a few times, and said:

"...Yes, it's you."

She smiled and said: "You jumped into the ice pool with a plop and struggled to get the sword. Don't mention how heroic you are. We were all shocked when we saw it. We were thinking in our hearts whether to call the elders to save you, or I'm going to the Yizhuang at the foot of the mountain to make room for you."

Yu Yiwei vaguely thought of this incident, his face flushed with shame.

The little junior sister said again: "But I didn't expect you to flop a few times in the water, and then sank in embarrassment. I didn't expect you to be a landlubber, and you kept rushing to get swords for others. We watched from the shore. You float like a duck for a while, then sink for a while, but you don't give up, and keep swimming towards the bottom of the ice pool."

"I was thinking at the time: How can there be such a stupid person? He obviously couldn't take care of himself, but he rushed out to help others get the sword. He didn't get a thank you when he picked it up. People who should laugh at you will still laugh at you, so And people who think highly of you won't thank you in person. In the end, you get nothing."

What she said was good.Yu Yiwei lay on her back, his face was a little hot, thinking silently.During those days, he was always regarded as the laughing stock of Tianshanmen, everyone loved to make fun of him, and he was already ashamed.

Yu Bingzi was silent for a moment, then said:

"However, I think that senior brother...is a very powerful person."

The rain blindfolded her eyes in an instant, Yu Yi opened her eyelids in surprise, only heard her voice seem to be crying, and said slowly:

"From the time I saw you, I felt that you have always been a very courageous person, and I am absolutely incomparable. Why can you still laugh when others ridicule you? Why can you always All you want to do is help others, even if you don't get anything in return?"

Yu Yiwei was stunned for a moment, and after a while he realized what she was talking about, and murmured: "You...found...it's me?"

What she just said didn't seem to be speaking to a Houtianlou assassin, but rather to him himself.

"When did you start..." Yu Yiwei asked anxiously. "...Know it's mine?"

Crystal drops of water flowed over Yu Bingzi's fair cheeks, making her face even more radiant, like a shimmer in the night.She turned her face slightly, with sad ripples in her eyes, and said softly. "Maybe it's been known... from the beginning."

"...How could I not remember you, Senior Brother Yiwei."
