ten steps one kill
Chapter 24 Dry Rut Fish
After a while, he bent down and picked up the iron staff, followed the path when he came, and threw it back to the yard with all his strength, then turned his head, and followed Liu Hongfeng to the direction of the woods.
Jin Ze was holding on to the railing, leaning half of his body out of the building, eagerly inspecting his own results, the night was too thick, and the ground was so dark that he couldn't see the enemy's situation clearly, but the iron rod that flew over suddenly disrupted his thoughts .
He dodged hastily, the iron rod flew past his ears, landed behind him, and actually cut a gap in the floor of the corridor.
This half-hanging corridor hangs outside the building. After a section of steps was cut off by the Tianji sword, it was already crumbling, but it was suddenly overwhelmed by an iron rod, and the main beam snapped from the center, as if it had been cut. Like a straw, it dragged its heavy head and slumped to one side.
Kanazawa had nowhere to stay and had no choice but to jump off the tall building. Although he was not injured, his posture was in a mess.
Fortunately, everyone in Dongfeng Hall didn't care to look at him, and all their eyes fell on the crumbling upstairs.
The dormitory building that lost the corridor was dilapidated. In addition to the wooden frame hanging outside the building, even the door panels and window frames were ripped off, and the originally hidden room was exposed to everyone. The lit candles were still burning silently at this moment, lighting up the red curtains and red candles in the room, and the charming and obscene colors mixed with the night, making it seem neither fish nor fowl.Those pretentious whitewashes only make people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
Jin Ze turned to his stunned companion, and shouted angrily: "What are you still doing, hurry up!"
Liu Hongfeng had already entered the woods.
The denser trees brought him a sense of security, but his legs seemed to be filled with gravel, and the heavier and heavier weight dragged him down exhausted.
He gradually forgot where he was, and he seemed to be stepping on cotton, but he was running by instinct, and there was a constant buzzing sound in his ears. He didn't know if it came from the restless insects in the forest, or from the hallucinations in his heart.
But the buzzing was overwhelmed by the noise after all, he heard the signal that the pursuers were approaching, the disciples of Dongfeng Hall were more difficult than he imagined, and the sound of chaotic footsteps surrounded him from all directions.He didn't know where to flee, there was only darkness in front of his eyes, and the shadows of trees passing by were like the bars of a cage, making his back chill.
Before the enemy made a move, he was imprisoned first, and the ground was a prison.
His vision became more and more shaken, and all the light in the world was leaving him. He thought, if he fell asleep this time, he might never wake up again.
In a daze, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.
"...Liu Hongfeng."
He touched his cheek subconsciously, and the mask was still hanging on his ears.Strange and strange, with the cover of the mask, others should not have recognized his true face.
"Liu Hongfeng—" the man called out again, in a voice that he was very familiar with and that he missed so much.
The next moment, he felt light under his feet, and his whole body seemed to be lifted by the wind, floating in the air.
But he soon felt something on his jaw, and the sensation came along with the rhythm of ups and downs. His head became clearer, and he finally realized that he was not floating, but lying on another person's shoulder.
The man walked through the forest with him on his back.
As long as one more person's weight is carried, the pace will become sluggish.Even Liu Hongfeng could feel the speed of floating slowed down, so he said: "You put me down."
The other party did not answer.
He added: "We're all going to die if this goes on."
His answer was still only silence.
He thought for a while, then raised his head slightly, and leaned close to the ear of the other party in the bumps: "Actually, a vixen can spell. If you put me down, I will be able to escape immediately."
The man didn't let him go.
He felt that his body was empty, and his whole body fell to a low place.
Is there a trap in the forest?
Liu Hongfeng thought so at first. However, the place where he fell seemed to be much deeper than the trap. He realized that he had fallen on the muddy ground, spinning like a stake, with dead branches and leaves constantly beating his forehead, and stones of all sizes Run over all parts of the body.He thought that this time it was inevitable that he would be bloodied.
However, the people around him stretched out their arms to him, wrapped around his side neck, put their palms on the back of his head, and pressed him to their shoulder sockets while rolling in embarrassment.
The edges and corners of the rock thus avoided his head, leaving no damage.
After an unknown amount of time, the scrolling finally stopped.The surroundings were dark and damp, his body was covered with mud, the original color of his clothes could hardly be seen, and unknown bugs crawled along his legs and feet, leaving a sticky and disgusting touch.
"Am I escaping?" He asked in a weak voice.
The people around him pulled him to sit up, and he finally saw the other person's appearance clearly. Even though his body was covered in mud, that face was still very familiar, it was the Duan Changya he knew.
When they fell, the two of them almost hugged each other, and Duan Changya's palm was what he was resting on just now.
Duan Changya's body temperature has not yet dissipated, and it still remains on the side of his neck. In this quagmire, which is comparable to the underworld, he is nostalgic for it.
"It's all right for me to escape, but you followed me down anyway."
He moved his lips as he spoke, and immediately felt something pressed against the tip of his lips.It turned out that the tattered mask miraculously survived, still hanging on his face.
He propped himself on a rock not far away with one hand, trying to stand up.However, a sharp pain in his shoulder made his eyes turn white, and he lost his strength and fell back into the mud again.
His other arm hung heavily by his side, without a trace of sensation, as if the root had been cut off by life, leaving only a layer of flesh hanging on his shoulder.
He finally realized that this arm was the source of the pain, and it was because of this that he was almost unconscious just now.
Duan Changya kept looking at him until he cursed, then grabbed his wrist.
"Why did you catch me?"
"You are hurt."
"How can you be injured? You read it wrong."
Duan Changya sighed, his fingers climbed up his wrist, hung near his upper arm, and squeezed lightly.
He immediately hissed in pain.
Duan Changya continued: "The iron rod just now was blocked by you with your shoulder."
He blinked: "What iron rod?"
Duan Changya frowned: "Liu Hongfeng, stop messing around, do you think I want to owe you favors?"
He was stunned again, he didn't expect to hear his name from the other party.
The mask on his face was only a thin layer of paper, and he carefully protected it, for fear that any corner would be blown up by the wind, revealing flaws.However, Duan Changya's words were like a needle, piercing the paper mercilessly.
It turned out that the relationship between them was nothing but mutual debt.
No matter how messed up he is, what he is guarding is just an empty shell with no appearance.
In the silence, he seemed to hear the faint sound of water. It turned out that the place where he lived was a swamp by the water. A few steps away, there was a pool of stagnant water, which was narrow and cramped, with a musty smell. Insects shimmered in the night, faintly illuminating his vision.
With Xiaochong's light, he finally saw Duan Changya's expression clearly - his lips were pursed into a line, every muscle and bone was tense, even his eyelashes were trembling, and there were many rippling lights in his deep eyes. Emotions seem to be sucking people in.
That's it--he thought to himself.They can't forgive each other, but they can't admit their own guilt either.
There is no right and wrong, black and white in this rivers and lakes, there is only new and old hatred, kindness and resentment, entangled and inseparable, lying between them is a hurdle that can never be crossed.
It's better not to see each other.
He fixed Duan Changya's eyes and asked back, "Who is Liu Hongfeng?"
Duan Changya was startled for a moment, then raised his brows, and a vein appeared on his sharp-edged face.He leaned forward and tore off the mask from the opponent's face.
The poor fox knocked his nose completely out of the way, and sank face down in the mire.
Duan Changya looked at Liu Hongfeng: "Say it again?"
Liu Hongfeng said: "I really don't remember. In fact, that iron rod hit the back of my head just now, and I lost my memory."
Duan Changya: "..."
With four eyes facing each other, Duan Changya stared at Liu Hongfeng directly, as if he was torturing the other party with his eyes.
But Liu Hongfeng's gaze quickly moved away as if oiled: "Young man, can you stop staring at me all the time, do we know each other well?"
As good as the opponent is at chasing, he is good at hiding.
After the suffocating silence, Duan Changya finally let out a low sigh: "Okay, anyway, don't move, your arm is dislocated, I'll help you put it back first."
"How did you see it?"
"You look like this, only the blind can't see it."
Liu Hongfeng was dumbfounded, he thought he had covered it up well, but in the end he still couldn't escape this man's eyes.
In addition to the shoulder injury, whether other thoughts buried in his heart can also escape this person's gaze.
He had to put on a mask for himself, otherwise, he wouldn't even have the courage to stand in front of this man.
Duan Changya approached him, and he instinctively hid back, but the opponent didn't give him a chance to escape, stretched out his arm to grab his shoulder, and put the other hand on his back, like pliers, He stayed firmly in place.
With a dislocated shoulder and weak body, he was no match for Duan Changya, so he could only close his eyes and accept his fate.
"Young man, show mercy, I'm afraid of pain."
Duan Changya's voice was still calm: "You count to three, I promise you won't hurt."
Liu Hongfeng shrunk her neck and counted in a low voice: "One, two..."
The third number failed to roll out of the throat, and was replaced by a wail.
There was a cracking sound from the joints, and the sound was unbelievably loud.The dull pain at the moment of bone setting almost made him faint on the spot.
Duan Changya let go of his shoulders and moved away from him, leaving him alone, hunched like a cat, panting heavily: "Well, you lied to me..."
"I'm helping you."
Liu Hongfeng was unable to argue with him any longer, and could only wait for her breathing to calm down, then raised her head and looked around.
After connecting the arms, the suffocating oppressive feeling just now finally left him, and his vision gradually became clear. His eyes adapted to the surrounding darkness, and he could vaguely see the skylight above his head.
He fell about three floors. This is a cracked valley. The entrance is buried by vines in the forest. It is not easy to distinguish. It is shaped like a pot. The interior is slightly wider than the entrance, but there is only The size of an ordinary courtyard.
Just now when he was unconscious, Duan Changya had already pulled him close to the side of the rock wall. The criss-crossing branches and leaves covered the top of his head, just blocking the view from above.In this dark night, it might be difficult to see their figures from the outside.
This is indeed a natural hiding place.
He turned to the people around him and asked, "Young Xia, why are you..."
Unexpectedly, halfway through the conversation, he was interrupted by the other party: "In the next section of Changya."
Liu Hongfeng rolled his eyes, and continued: "Duan Shaoxia, how do you know there is such a good place in the woods?"
Duan Changya's expression was a little stiff, and he was silent for a moment before answering: "I used to play here when I was young, and I'm quite familiar with the terrain in this area."
Liu Hongfeng raised his eyebrows: "Oh, so you live on Yingzhou Island? Why has this fox never seen you before?"
Duan Changya shook his head: "...I advise you to save your energy, we will try to get out later."
Liu Hongfeng's heart sank, and he said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get out from here."
While the two were whispering, there was a sound of footsteps overhead.Accompanied by the excited voice: "Look quickly, there are footprints on the ground, they must have fallen from here."
"How deep is this valley, are people still alive?"
The disciples of Dongfeng Hall gathered in the forest, chattering and surrounding the entrance of the valley.
Liu Hongfeng narrowed his eyes and looked around again.The space at the bottom of the valley is long and narrow in the shape of a jujube pit, high on the north side and low on the south side.There is a shallow pool on the ground on the north side, which looks no bigger than the flower pond in Duanfu's courtyard. The water surface is turbid, with a layer of greasy algae floating on it. Above the pool is an arc-shaped rock, as if it has been dug with a shovel. It seems that the bottom is sunken inward, and the shrubs by the water are pressed by the rocks and grow obliquely, like an old man with a hunched shoulder.
The rocks on the north side are integrated and completely closed, while the south side is made up of several rocks squeezed together. There is a slit at the bottom, through which the water seeps out and flows downstream, but the slit is too narrow, only the head It is so wide that carp can swim across it, but living people are absolutely impassable.
In a word, this valley is a dead spot, if it is discovered by the pursuers, it is like a turtle in a urn, there is no way to escape, so it can only be captured with nothing.
However, due to the strange situation, the disciples of Dongfeng Hall did not dare to come down rashly to arrest people, so they stood at the entrance to test.Someone picked up a stone and dropped it through the gaps in the leaves.
However, the bottom of this valley has been soaked by spring water all year round, and it is a soft swamp. Stones fell into the mud, as if wrapped in a hand, without making a sound.
Those above were confused, and more stones were thrown down.
Liu Hongfeng stared at the rain of rocks falling from the sky, and involuntarily tensed his shoulders.The next moment, he felt his mouth covered with another hand.He turned his head and found Duan Changya standing behind him, shaking his head at him, making a silent gesture.
He stood in the dark, breathing carefully.
Soon, a voice came from the top of the head: "It's too deep here...it's bottomless."
"It would be better if it was bottomless, those two people might also fall to their deaths."
"How can you be sure if you haven't seen it with your own eyes?"
"Stop arguing," Jin Ze interrupted everyone loudly, "There are ways to ensure that they die inside."
"But Hall Master Song's order..."
"Hallmaster Song's order is to get rid of the traitor, but he didn't say that he must be caught alive."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned, even Liu Hongfeng who was hiding at the bottom of the valley couldn't help being startled.
Just now he was merciful and spared Jinze's life, but within a short while, he was bitten back and killed.
People in the Jianghu compete for fame and fortune, and there has never been a fair reputation at all. The decent and decent families have become more ruthless, which is worse than the three religions and nine streams.
He should have expected it.
There was no trace of shame in Jin Ze's tone, but rather triumphantly: "Go and collect firewood immediately. The more dry firewood you want, the better. Whoever still has firewood on him, take it out."
Everyone in the Dongfeng Hall immediately understood Jin Ze's intentions and went to the forest to collect firewood.
In autumn, the dead branches and leaves in the forest pile up into mountains, and there is an inexhaustible supply of combustible things.
Hearing the rustling sound above his head, Liu Hongfeng turned his gaze to Duan Changya, and said, "Just now I lied to you when I said I could escape."
Duan Changya said: "At first I didn't believe what you said."
"Then tell me, what should we do next?"
If they ventured out of the valley, they would have to fight ten against one. Liu Hongfeng had been injured just now, and Duan Changya's physical strength had also been exhausted. The two of them had no chance of winning.
If you stay at the bottom of the valley, you will face the torment of the sea of fire, which may not be more comfortable than dying in the shadow of swords and swords.
There is not much time for them to make a choice.
Dead branches and fallen leaves quickly covered the upper slit, weaving into a net, covering the only remaining ray of skylight.Between the pores of the web, a flash of orange light flickered, a sign of ignition.
The insects and ants at the bottom of the valley seemed to smell the burning smell in the air, and they fluttered their wings, trying to escape to the sky.
Those who stay at the bottom have no wings.
The sky began to burn, making a crackling sound, as if there was a sun above the head, and the sun became more and more scorching.
The members of Dongfeng hall kept adding firewood, as if they wanted to fill up this small space.The fire was getting bigger and bigger, black smoke billowed into the sky, and even the nearby stones were burned hot.
Jin Ze's eyes were fixed on the flames, and he kept adding wood to the fire with his hands. He never forgot to tell his companions: "These two people are scheming, make sure they are dead, and don't take it lightly."
As soon as the words fell, there was an inquiry voice from behind: "There are two people?"
A shadow walked out of the woods slowly, it was Song Yungui leaning on a cane.
Seeing this, Jin Ze immediately bowed and saluted: "Master, why are you here in person?"
Song Yungui waved his hand and said, "I'm worried, I can't sleep anyway, why don't I come to help you guys."
Jin Ze's eyes flashed with excitement: "You don't need to take action yourself, Duan Changya is right below here, and he can't escape."
Song Yungui cast a glance at the raging fire, and asked, "Who is the other person you're talking about?"
Jin Ze said: "Liu Hongfeng."
Song Yungui raised his eyebrows: "You really didn't admit your mistake?"
Jin Ze answered firmly: "Absolutely not. Although that man is wearing a mask, he wields the Mo Xie Sword, and he has been protecting Duan Changya all the way."
Song Yungui nodded: "Actually, I expected it a long time ago. These two people are already working together, and sooner or later they will collude to disobey us and get rid of him. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
They are all the elites of Dongfeng Hall, there are no idlers around, and there is no cover when they speak.
Kanazawa exchanged glances with his companions, and asked: "Master, can you really achieve the great cause you mentioned?"
"Of course." Song Yungui's expression was still calm, "Think about it, in the past few months, we have overturned Lantian Temple, brought down Xiling Village, forced back Zhujian Village, and finally annexed Tianjimen. Dare to ask? Such a great achievement, besides our Dongfengtang, which sect or sect can do it?"
"No more!" Jin Ze replied, staring at Song Yungui with burning eyes, the shadow of flames reflected in his eyes, glowing red, "When Senior Sister Mu comes back tomorrow, can we set off?"
Song Yungui smiled slightly and said, "Forget about Mu Xue, she won't come back."
Jin Ze showed surprise, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that she... has betrayal?"
"Otherwise, why did I insist that she go to sea alone?" Song Yungui asked back, "In fact, she still doesn't know what happened outside during the days she stayed on Yingzhou Island. By the time she knows, it may be too late."
Jin Ze opened his mouth wide, paused for a moment, and then said: "Hall Master Song is really far-sighted and resourceful."
Song Yungui lifted the stick and tapped it on the ground: "Don't compliment me, she is a beautiful woman after all, if I have to, I don't want to do anything to her, it's a pity, a pity."
Sighing, he swept his eyes over the confidant in front of him: "You are all my right-hand men, and you must not be as knowledgeable as women."
"Understood!" Jin Ze replied loudly.
The sky is burning.
Liu Hongfeng raised her head several times, but was excruciatingly painful from the oncoming heat wave. She had to shrink her neck and narrow her eyes.
He thought that in the fairy tales he heard when he was young, Zhu Rong and Gonggong fought in the sky and broke the pillars of Buzhou Mountain, causing fire from the sky to ignite the earth. This is probably the scene in front of him.
The land he was standing on was only a mere square inch, like a miniature world, with raging flames burning above his head, forming a sea of red, and the debris of dead branches and fallen leaves fell rustlingly, entraining countless fireballs, falling one after another Into the wet mud, under the scorching fire, even the water in the mud was squeezed out, and the ground gradually faded into a scorched black.
What is more difficult than the fire is the smoke and dust. The dust is flying around, and the place where the flames cannot reach is occupied by thick smoke. The thick smoke rolls into the nose, involuntarily squeezing the fresh air away, leaving only a suffocating smell.
The reason why Liu Hongfeng was still alive was because of the puddle of water in the corner.
He was standing in chest-deep water.
A thick layer of moss floated on the surface of the water, giving off a rotten smell, and there were many invisible dirt hidden in it, which made people feel hairy.
He tore off his outer shirt, wet it with water, covered his mouth and nose, and the unpleasant rotten smell penetrated into his nostrils, coupled with the squeezing sensation in his chest, it was as if he was buried alive in a grave.
But compared with the raging fire, this puddle of water has become the most gentle thing.Liu Hongfeng had no choice but to wet his clothes again and again and cover his nose. He complained between breaths: "Which bastard came up with such a bad idea to start a fire? Could it be that he wants to cook us alive?"
Duan Changya said beside him: "Speak less."
Liu Hongfeng shook his head: "If I don't say a few words, I don't know whether I am alive or dead."
Duan Changya said, "Don't worry, I won't die."
Duan Changya's confidence is not groundless. Although the fire is raging, there is actually a spring in this narrow water.
But this trickle of water has become a magic weapon against the fire at this moment. The water seeps into the soil and re-wets the burnt parts.The people hiding in the water also benefited from the favor of the spring, and their bodies were miraculously separated from the sea of fire, avoiding the end of life and death.
Liu Hongfeng and Duan Changya hid in the water, because the water surface was really small, they had to lower their heads and shrink their shoulders like bushes by the water.
But they are not as slender as the trees, so they can only be back to back, as if glued together, firmly sticking together.
The too close distance tortured Liu Hongfeng's mind. He desperately wanted to divert his attention, so he said in a dry voice: "You are really lucky. You jumped into the water and just happened to meet a spring."
Duan Changya said: "It's not luck, I knew there was a spring here."
"why?"
"I used to play nearby when I was a child, and I saw this pool, and it looks almost unchanged from now. If it is stagnant water, it will never remain the same after ten years. So I guess, there should be a source of water here."
"So that's the case. So you're a smart person. Looking at your appearance, I thought you must be an idiot."
As Liu Hongfeng said, he turned his head sideways, and from the corner of his vision, he happened to catch a glimpse of the other party's frowning.Outlined by the firelight, the creases between the brows looked extraordinarily deep. Obviously, Duan Changya was full of resistance to his nonsense.
He didn't expect the other party to believe it. In fact, even he himself didn't know how long this amnesia trick could last.
Sometimes, a lie is not to deceive others, but to deceive yourself.
The sound of burning was long and loud, and countless fine particles burst under the lick of the tongue of fire, crackling and crackling, and the people above the head could be faintly heard talking, but the content of the speech could not be discerned at all.The flames overwhelmed the sky, dyeing the top of the head like day, but the bottom of the valley seemed to be imprisoned in eternal night, and it was not known whether the next dawn would be ushered in.
Soaking in the water, Liu Hongfeng felt that the soles of her feet were gradually becoming weak, her body was involuntarily limp, her eyes were staring at the floating algae, and her vision became more and more blurred.
Duan Changya's voice interrupted his thoughts: "You are trembling."
He blinked and said, "You must be trembling."
The man was too sharp, he thought, and he couldn't wait to get away from him, so he took a step forward in the water.But he seemed to have an invisible rein on his body, making it difficult for him to move forward.He frowned, and kicked hard on the soles of his feet, but unexpectedly, his toes sank into the soft mud, he staggered a step, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.
The water splashed everywhere, but instead of falling down, he sank into the opponent's arms, with his head pressed against the opponent's shoulder.
Duan Changya grabbed his shoulders, his movements were a little tough, with a hint of complaint.
The two became facing each other, and Duan Changya's palm was involuntarily pressed against his forehead.
"It's so cold." He complained tremblingly.
Duan Changya said, "It's not that I'm cold, but your forehead is too hot. You clearly have a fever."
Liu Hongfeng couldn't help being startled, he just suffered a little trauma, so he wouldn't show his weak side at all, but the poison left in his body was causing trouble, gradually stripping his strength and dignity from his body.
Facing Duan Changya's scrutinizing eyes, he became more and more unwilling, so he said coldly: "If you have just finished the bone joint, and then you are chased for a long distance, fell into the mud, and then stood in the water to be roasted by the fire, You'll have a fever too."
The crackling sound of burning became as intense as a drum beating.
He knew very well that time was running out, and before he died, perhaps he should abandon the ridiculous lies, put down his cheap dignity, and tell the other party the truth he heard from Aunt Su's mouth completely.
If you don't say it now, you won't have a chance in the future.
But at the next moment, Duan Changya made an unexpected move.
Duan Changya opened his arms and hugged him in the water.
Liu Hongfeng was startled, and immediately struggled to get away, but the other party increased the strength of his arm as if deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
"what are you doing?"
"save you."
"No need."
The pool was too small, the distance between the two of them was too close, and the tips of their noses were about to stick together, so Liu Hongfeng could only lower his eyes to avoid the too sharp gaze from a few feet away.
Duan Changya's lips pressed against his ear: "Didn't you lose your memory? Since you don't know me, why resist so much? Do I look like a bad guy?"
"It's not like that," Liu Hongfeng gritted his teeth and squeezed out scattered words, "You are simply an honest gentleman who sleeps with a sage book on his pillow."
His tone was full of sarcasm, but Duan Changya didn't get angry, he just replied lightly: "If that's the case, then calm down."
In the divided world of half water and half fire, Duan Changya took him into his arms and shared his precious body temperature with him.
Liu Hongfeng's mind was in chaos.
It is probably because the brain melted during the fever, and the rationality that he was proud of before is completely useless at this moment. The body seems to be out of control. Shoulder.
Liu Hongfeng hated this weak and humble body so much, his consciousness seemed to float up, floating in the sky, quietly watching himself when he was making a fool of himself, full of anxiety, but powerless.
Duan Changya seemed to be waiting for a long time. When Liu Hongfeng made a signal, he immediately spread out a hand, put it on the latter's back, and pressed hard, pressing this person and his chest together.
Liu Hongfeng's head rested on Duan Changya's shoulder, her cheek brushed against the other's ear from time to time, and her own earlobe was also rubbed by the other's lips.
The indistinct touch from the sensitive place made him fall into obsession involuntarily.The last trace of dignity remaining in his heart desperately cut off his thoughts, preventing him from continuing to think.Duan Changya was his feud, one of the culprits who killed his mother, the person who hurt him deeply ten years ago, and was cruelly betrayed by him ten years later.Even if he had slept in the same bed with this person, however, that was also a part of deception, completely different from the current situation.
At this moment, he is only one step away from death, no matter how embarrassing the ending, he also wants to save a bit of dignity for himself.
He poured the truth into his heart time and time again, tried his best to resist the instinct, but even so, he still couldn't hide the slack in his body.How painful his thoughts are, how comfortable the body temperature against his chest is.After all, he was just a mediocre person, and he couldn't refuse even such a simple and naked temptation.
He was torn apart by two strands of thoughts, as if he was going to be split in two. In the chaos, he only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness seemed to escape into the deep sea, invisible...
At this moment, Duan Changya said: "Don't sleep, this is not a place to sleep, you'd better stay awake."
These innocuous words were extremely harsh to his ears, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you making things difficult for others?"
Duan Changya showed a hint of embarrassment, and said after a while: "If you can't help feeling sleepy, I can talk with you."
This is the real difficulty of the strong.
Liu Hongfeng smiled to himself, but pretended not to understand, and said, "Okay, then tell me, I'll be all ears."
Duan Changya pursed his lips, Liu Hongfeng couldn't see his face out of the corner of his eye, only the sideburns and ear pinnae could be seen.The ears are moved by the lips, trembling slightly, like a clumsy servant, inadvertently revealing the master's desperately suppressed thoughts.
What is this man thinking?
Although Liu Hongfeng was pressing against Duan Changya's chest, he was completely unable to fathom this person's thoughts. He could only imagine that if the positions of the two were switched, at this very moment, he must have countless questions that he wanted to put into words. .
——Why did you lie to me?Why did you want my family to be ruined and displaced?Why do things still come to me and torture me now?
He couldn't answer any of these questions, so in front of Duan Changya, he could only lie about his amnesia and use clumsy excuses to cover up the emptiness in his heart.
His disguise is full of flaws, like soap bubbles floating in the air, which can be pierced with a finger.
But to his surprise, Duan Changya didn't ask any questions.
Duan Changya just said in his usual flat and cold voice: "You were not like this before."
"before?"
"You used to talk a lot. No matter what I said, you always had to argue with me. I never said anything about you, so I would rather shut up."
Holding the thoughts, recalling the past uncontrollably.
"That's right, let me accompany you on behalf of my former self. He is probably a bastard. He is jealous that you are more handsome than him, so he deliberately came to trouble you."
Duan Changya chuckled lightly, then shook his head again, with a slight sense of helplessness in his small movements.
Originally, after this embarrassing escape and desperate struggle, Duan Changya's white shirt was already covered with mud, his hair was soaked into strands of sweat, the ends were still stained with dirt, and his cheeks looked like they were covered in ashes from a coal stove. It looked like it had passed, blue and gray, but even so, there was no trace of dirt in his complexion, even under the sky covered by flames, it was still as clear as the bright moon.
Probably because this person's heart is always clean, no matter how thick the worldly dust is, it can only tarnish his appearance, but cannot infect his spirit.
Duan Changya's temple hair rubbed against Liu Hongfeng's cheek, and the soft touch accompanied the rhythm of his voice, repeatedly, lingering, and constantly teasing the latter's mind.
Liu Hongfeng's breathing became somewhat rapid, and she couldn't help writhing in the opponent's arms.
"What's wrong?" Duan Changya asked.
Liu Hongfeng coughed lowly: "I just suddenly remembered that I like men."
After saying this thoughtless remark, he immediately regretted it.The so-called self-digging is nothing more than that. In order to make up for his slip of the tongue, he immediately changed his tone and said righteously: "You should stay away from me, lest I take advantage of you."
"You can't even stand firmly, who else can you take advantage of?"
Duan Changya laughed again as he spoke, his shoulders trembled slightly, and through the tight skin of the two, every subtle movement was transmitted to the other without deviation.
Unwilling, Liu Hongfeng argued, "At this time and at that time, I advise you not to treat the belly of a bastard with the heart of a sage."
"You used to take advantage of others, and I didn't see you discussing with others, let alone saying such things."
"Couldn't you have lost your virginity with me?"
Duan Changya didn't answer immediately, but suddenly froze for a moment.
Liu Hongfeng continued: "So I was really a jerk before?"
Duan Changya asked back: "Why don't you take this opportunity to reform yourself?"
A pair of powerful hands went around Liu Hongfeng's back, pressed against his neck, and gently rubbed it.
It was just an unconscious gesture, without any hint of obscenity.In such a cramped environment surrounded by fire and water, surrounded by mud baths, probably only a real jerk would have inappropriate thoughts.
Liu Hongfeng just wanted to scold herself.
He really couldn't continue to stay with Duan Changya, as long as this person was by his side, he would no longer be himself, lost his dignity, lost his wisdom, and the despicableness and cowardice in his soul were completely exposed to the outside world.
He wanted to run away. If he didn't run away now, he would be torn into pieces by the opposite thoughts in his mind.
However, he only showed a slight intention to retreat, and Duan Changya easily used his arm to pull him back.
"Liu Hongfeng, can you be a little quieter, what are you afraid of?"
Jin Ze was holding on to the railing, leaning half of his body out of the building, eagerly inspecting his own results, the night was too thick, and the ground was so dark that he couldn't see the enemy's situation clearly, but the iron rod that flew over suddenly disrupted his thoughts .
He dodged hastily, the iron rod flew past his ears, landed behind him, and actually cut a gap in the floor of the corridor.
This half-hanging corridor hangs outside the building. After a section of steps was cut off by the Tianji sword, it was already crumbling, but it was suddenly overwhelmed by an iron rod, and the main beam snapped from the center, as if it had been cut. Like a straw, it dragged its heavy head and slumped to one side.
Kanazawa had nowhere to stay and had no choice but to jump off the tall building. Although he was not injured, his posture was in a mess.
Fortunately, everyone in Dongfeng Hall didn't care to look at him, and all their eyes fell on the crumbling upstairs.
The dormitory building that lost the corridor was dilapidated. In addition to the wooden frame hanging outside the building, even the door panels and window frames were ripped off, and the originally hidden room was exposed to everyone. The lit candles were still burning silently at this moment, lighting up the red curtains and red candles in the room, and the charming and obscene colors mixed with the night, making it seem neither fish nor fowl.Those pretentious whitewashes only make people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
Jin Ze turned to his stunned companion, and shouted angrily: "What are you still doing, hurry up!"
Liu Hongfeng had already entered the woods.
The denser trees brought him a sense of security, but his legs seemed to be filled with gravel, and the heavier and heavier weight dragged him down exhausted.
He gradually forgot where he was, and he seemed to be stepping on cotton, but he was running by instinct, and there was a constant buzzing sound in his ears. He didn't know if it came from the restless insects in the forest, or from the hallucinations in his heart.
But the buzzing was overwhelmed by the noise after all, he heard the signal that the pursuers were approaching, the disciples of Dongfeng Hall were more difficult than he imagined, and the sound of chaotic footsteps surrounded him from all directions.He didn't know where to flee, there was only darkness in front of his eyes, and the shadows of trees passing by were like the bars of a cage, making his back chill.
Before the enemy made a move, he was imprisoned first, and the ground was a prison.
His vision became more and more shaken, and all the light in the world was leaving him. He thought, if he fell asleep this time, he might never wake up again.
In a daze, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.
"...Liu Hongfeng."
He touched his cheek subconsciously, and the mask was still hanging on his ears.Strange and strange, with the cover of the mask, others should not have recognized his true face.
"Liu Hongfeng—" the man called out again, in a voice that he was very familiar with and that he missed so much.
The next moment, he felt light under his feet, and his whole body seemed to be lifted by the wind, floating in the air.
But he soon felt something on his jaw, and the sensation came along with the rhythm of ups and downs. His head became clearer, and he finally realized that he was not floating, but lying on another person's shoulder.
The man walked through the forest with him on his back.
As long as one more person's weight is carried, the pace will become sluggish.Even Liu Hongfeng could feel the speed of floating slowed down, so he said: "You put me down."
The other party did not answer.
He added: "We're all going to die if this goes on."
His answer was still only silence.
He thought for a while, then raised his head slightly, and leaned close to the ear of the other party in the bumps: "Actually, a vixen can spell. If you put me down, I will be able to escape immediately."
The man didn't let him go.
He felt that his body was empty, and his whole body fell to a low place.
Is there a trap in the forest?
Liu Hongfeng thought so at first. However, the place where he fell seemed to be much deeper than the trap. He realized that he had fallen on the muddy ground, spinning like a stake, with dead branches and leaves constantly beating his forehead, and stones of all sizes Run over all parts of the body.He thought that this time it was inevitable that he would be bloodied.
However, the people around him stretched out their arms to him, wrapped around his side neck, put their palms on the back of his head, and pressed him to their shoulder sockets while rolling in embarrassment.
The edges and corners of the rock thus avoided his head, leaving no damage.
After an unknown amount of time, the scrolling finally stopped.The surroundings were dark and damp, his body was covered with mud, the original color of his clothes could hardly be seen, and unknown bugs crawled along his legs and feet, leaving a sticky and disgusting touch.
"Am I escaping?" He asked in a weak voice.
The people around him pulled him to sit up, and he finally saw the other person's appearance clearly. Even though his body was covered in mud, that face was still very familiar, it was the Duan Changya he knew.
When they fell, the two of them almost hugged each other, and Duan Changya's palm was what he was resting on just now.
Duan Changya's body temperature has not yet dissipated, and it still remains on the side of his neck. In this quagmire, which is comparable to the underworld, he is nostalgic for it.
"It's all right for me to escape, but you followed me down anyway."
He moved his lips as he spoke, and immediately felt something pressed against the tip of his lips.It turned out that the tattered mask miraculously survived, still hanging on his face.
He propped himself on a rock not far away with one hand, trying to stand up.However, a sharp pain in his shoulder made his eyes turn white, and he lost his strength and fell back into the mud again.
His other arm hung heavily by his side, without a trace of sensation, as if the root had been cut off by life, leaving only a layer of flesh hanging on his shoulder.
He finally realized that this arm was the source of the pain, and it was because of this that he was almost unconscious just now.
Duan Changya kept looking at him until he cursed, then grabbed his wrist.
"Why did you catch me?"
"You are hurt."
"How can you be injured? You read it wrong."
Duan Changya sighed, his fingers climbed up his wrist, hung near his upper arm, and squeezed lightly.
He immediately hissed in pain.
Duan Changya continued: "The iron rod just now was blocked by you with your shoulder."
He blinked: "What iron rod?"
Duan Changya frowned: "Liu Hongfeng, stop messing around, do you think I want to owe you favors?"
He was stunned again, he didn't expect to hear his name from the other party.
The mask on his face was only a thin layer of paper, and he carefully protected it, for fear that any corner would be blown up by the wind, revealing flaws.However, Duan Changya's words were like a needle, piercing the paper mercilessly.
It turned out that the relationship between them was nothing but mutual debt.
No matter how messed up he is, what he is guarding is just an empty shell with no appearance.
In the silence, he seemed to hear the faint sound of water. It turned out that the place where he lived was a swamp by the water. A few steps away, there was a pool of stagnant water, which was narrow and cramped, with a musty smell. Insects shimmered in the night, faintly illuminating his vision.
With Xiaochong's light, he finally saw Duan Changya's expression clearly - his lips were pursed into a line, every muscle and bone was tense, even his eyelashes were trembling, and there were many rippling lights in his deep eyes. Emotions seem to be sucking people in.
That's it--he thought to himself.They can't forgive each other, but they can't admit their own guilt either.
There is no right and wrong, black and white in this rivers and lakes, there is only new and old hatred, kindness and resentment, entangled and inseparable, lying between them is a hurdle that can never be crossed.
It's better not to see each other.
He fixed Duan Changya's eyes and asked back, "Who is Liu Hongfeng?"
Duan Changya was startled for a moment, then raised his brows, and a vein appeared on his sharp-edged face.He leaned forward and tore off the mask from the opponent's face.
The poor fox knocked his nose completely out of the way, and sank face down in the mire.
Duan Changya looked at Liu Hongfeng: "Say it again?"
Liu Hongfeng said: "I really don't remember. In fact, that iron rod hit the back of my head just now, and I lost my memory."
Duan Changya: "..."
With four eyes facing each other, Duan Changya stared at Liu Hongfeng directly, as if he was torturing the other party with his eyes.
But Liu Hongfeng's gaze quickly moved away as if oiled: "Young man, can you stop staring at me all the time, do we know each other well?"
As good as the opponent is at chasing, he is good at hiding.
After the suffocating silence, Duan Changya finally let out a low sigh: "Okay, anyway, don't move, your arm is dislocated, I'll help you put it back first."
"How did you see it?"
"You look like this, only the blind can't see it."
Liu Hongfeng was dumbfounded, he thought he had covered it up well, but in the end he still couldn't escape this man's eyes.
In addition to the shoulder injury, whether other thoughts buried in his heart can also escape this person's gaze.
He had to put on a mask for himself, otherwise, he wouldn't even have the courage to stand in front of this man.
Duan Changya approached him, and he instinctively hid back, but the opponent didn't give him a chance to escape, stretched out his arm to grab his shoulder, and put the other hand on his back, like pliers, He stayed firmly in place.
With a dislocated shoulder and weak body, he was no match for Duan Changya, so he could only close his eyes and accept his fate.
"Young man, show mercy, I'm afraid of pain."
Duan Changya's voice was still calm: "You count to three, I promise you won't hurt."
Liu Hongfeng shrunk her neck and counted in a low voice: "One, two..."
The third number failed to roll out of the throat, and was replaced by a wail.
There was a cracking sound from the joints, and the sound was unbelievably loud.The dull pain at the moment of bone setting almost made him faint on the spot.
Duan Changya let go of his shoulders and moved away from him, leaving him alone, hunched like a cat, panting heavily: "Well, you lied to me..."
"I'm helping you."
Liu Hongfeng was unable to argue with him any longer, and could only wait for her breathing to calm down, then raised her head and looked around.
After connecting the arms, the suffocating oppressive feeling just now finally left him, and his vision gradually became clear. His eyes adapted to the surrounding darkness, and he could vaguely see the skylight above his head.
He fell about three floors. This is a cracked valley. The entrance is buried by vines in the forest. It is not easy to distinguish. It is shaped like a pot. The interior is slightly wider than the entrance, but there is only The size of an ordinary courtyard.
Just now when he was unconscious, Duan Changya had already pulled him close to the side of the rock wall. The criss-crossing branches and leaves covered the top of his head, just blocking the view from above.In this dark night, it might be difficult to see their figures from the outside.
This is indeed a natural hiding place.
He turned to the people around him and asked, "Young Xia, why are you..."
Unexpectedly, halfway through the conversation, he was interrupted by the other party: "In the next section of Changya."
Liu Hongfeng rolled his eyes, and continued: "Duan Shaoxia, how do you know there is such a good place in the woods?"
Duan Changya's expression was a little stiff, and he was silent for a moment before answering: "I used to play here when I was young, and I'm quite familiar with the terrain in this area."
Liu Hongfeng raised his eyebrows: "Oh, so you live on Yingzhou Island? Why has this fox never seen you before?"
Duan Changya shook his head: "...I advise you to save your energy, we will try to get out later."
Liu Hongfeng's heart sank, and he said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get out from here."
While the two were whispering, there was a sound of footsteps overhead.Accompanied by the excited voice: "Look quickly, there are footprints on the ground, they must have fallen from here."
"How deep is this valley, are people still alive?"
The disciples of Dongfeng Hall gathered in the forest, chattering and surrounding the entrance of the valley.
Liu Hongfeng narrowed his eyes and looked around again.The space at the bottom of the valley is long and narrow in the shape of a jujube pit, high on the north side and low on the south side.There is a shallow pool on the ground on the north side, which looks no bigger than the flower pond in Duanfu's courtyard. The water surface is turbid, with a layer of greasy algae floating on it. Above the pool is an arc-shaped rock, as if it has been dug with a shovel. It seems that the bottom is sunken inward, and the shrubs by the water are pressed by the rocks and grow obliquely, like an old man with a hunched shoulder.
The rocks on the north side are integrated and completely closed, while the south side is made up of several rocks squeezed together. There is a slit at the bottom, through which the water seeps out and flows downstream, but the slit is too narrow, only the head It is so wide that carp can swim across it, but living people are absolutely impassable.
In a word, this valley is a dead spot, if it is discovered by the pursuers, it is like a turtle in a urn, there is no way to escape, so it can only be captured with nothing.
However, due to the strange situation, the disciples of Dongfeng Hall did not dare to come down rashly to arrest people, so they stood at the entrance to test.Someone picked up a stone and dropped it through the gaps in the leaves.
However, the bottom of this valley has been soaked by spring water all year round, and it is a soft swamp. Stones fell into the mud, as if wrapped in a hand, without making a sound.
Those above were confused, and more stones were thrown down.
Liu Hongfeng stared at the rain of rocks falling from the sky, and involuntarily tensed his shoulders.The next moment, he felt his mouth covered with another hand.He turned his head and found Duan Changya standing behind him, shaking his head at him, making a silent gesture.
He stood in the dark, breathing carefully.
Soon, a voice came from the top of the head: "It's too deep here...it's bottomless."
"It would be better if it was bottomless, those two people might also fall to their deaths."
"How can you be sure if you haven't seen it with your own eyes?"
"Stop arguing," Jin Ze interrupted everyone loudly, "There are ways to ensure that they die inside."
"But Hall Master Song's order..."
"Hallmaster Song's order is to get rid of the traitor, but he didn't say that he must be caught alive."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned, even Liu Hongfeng who was hiding at the bottom of the valley couldn't help being startled.
Just now he was merciful and spared Jinze's life, but within a short while, he was bitten back and killed.
People in the Jianghu compete for fame and fortune, and there has never been a fair reputation at all. The decent and decent families have become more ruthless, which is worse than the three religions and nine streams.
He should have expected it.
There was no trace of shame in Jin Ze's tone, but rather triumphantly: "Go and collect firewood immediately. The more dry firewood you want, the better. Whoever still has firewood on him, take it out."
Everyone in the Dongfeng Hall immediately understood Jin Ze's intentions and went to the forest to collect firewood.
In autumn, the dead branches and leaves in the forest pile up into mountains, and there is an inexhaustible supply of combustible things.
Hearing the rustling sound above his head, Liu Hongfeng turned his gaze to Duan Changya, and said, "Just now I lied to you when I said I could escape."
Duan Changya said: "At first I didn't believe what you said."
"Then tell me, what should we do next?"
If they ventured out of the valley, they would have to fight ten against one. Liu Hongfeng had been injured just now, and Duan Changya's physical strength had also been exhausted. The two of them had no chance of winning.
If you stay at the bottom of the valley, you will face the torment of the sea of fire, which may not be more comfortable than dying in the shadow of swords and swords.
There is not much time for them to make a choice.
Dead branches and fallen leaves quickly covered the upper slit, weaving into a net, covering the only remaining ray of skylight.Between the pores of the web, a flash of orange light flickered, a sign of ignition.
The insects and ants at the bottom of the valley seemed to smell the burning smell in the air, and they fluttered their wings, trying to escape to the sky.
Those who stay at the bottom have no wings.
The sky began to burn, making a crackling sound, as if there was a sun above the head, and the sun became more and more scorching.
The members of Dongfeng hall kept adding firewood, as if they wanted to fill up this small space.The fire was getting bigger and bigger, black smoke billowed into the sky, and even the nearby stones were burned hot.
Jin Ze's eyes were fixed on the flames, and he kept adding wood to the fire with his hands. He never forgot to tell his companions: "These two people are scheming, make sure they are dead, and don't take it lightly."
As soon as the words fell, there was an inquiry voice from behind: "There are two people?"
A shadow walked out of the woods slowly, it was Song Yungui leaning on a cane.
Seeing this, Jin Ze immediately bowed and saluted: "Master, why are you here in person?"
Song Yungui waved his hand and said, "I'm worried, I can't sleep anyway, why don't I come to help you guys."
Jin Ze's eyes flashed with excitement: "You don't need to take action yourself, Duan Changya is right below here, and he can't escape."
Song Yungui cast a glance at the raging fire, and asked, "Who is the other person you're talking about?"
Jin Ze said: "Liu Hongfeng."
Song Yungui raised his eyebrows: "You really didn't admit your mistake?"
Jin Ze answered firmly: "Absolutely not. Although that man is wearing a mask, he wields the Mo Xie Sword, and he has been protecting Duan Changya all the way."
Song Yungui nodded: "Actually, I expected it a long time ago. These two people are already working together, and sooner or later they will collude to disobey us and get rid of him. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
They are all the elites of Dongfeng Hall, there are no idlers around, and there is no cover when they speak.
Kanazawa exchanged glances with his companions, and asked: "Master, can you really achieve the great cause you mentioned?"
"Of course." Song Yungui's expression was still calm, "Think about it, in the past few months, we have overturned Lantian Temple, brought down Xiling Village, forced back Zhujian Village, and finally annexed Tianjimen. Dare to ask? Such a great achievement, besides our Dongfengtang, which sect or sect can do it?"
"No more!" Jin Ze replied, staring at Song Yungui with burning eyes, the shadow of flames reflected in his eyes, glowing red, "When Senior Sister Mu comes back tomorrow, can we set off?"
Song Yungui smiled slightly and said, "Forget about Mu Xue, she won't come back."
Jin Ze showed surprise, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that she... has betrayal?"
"Otherwise, why did I insist that she go to sea alone?" Song Yungui asked back, "In fact, she still doesn't know what happened outside during the days she stayed on Yingzhou Island. By the time she knows, it may be too late."
Jin Ze opened his mouth wide, paused for a moment, and then said: "Hall Master Song is really far-sighted and resourceful."
Song Yungui lifted the stick and tapped it on the ground: "Don't compliment me, she is a beautiful woman after all, if I have to, I don't want to do anything to her, it's a pity, a pity."
Sighing, he swept his eyes over the confidant in front of him: "You are all my right-hand men, and you must not be as knowledgeable as women."
"Understood!" Jin Ze replied loudly.
The sky is burning.
Liu Hongfeng raised her head several times, but was excruciatingly painful from the oncoming heat wave. She had to shrink her neck and narrow her eyes.
He thought that in the fairy tales he heard when he was young, Zhu Rong and Gonggong fought in the sky and broke the pillars of Buzhou Mountain, causing fire from the sky to ignite the earth. This is probably the scene in front of him.
The land he was standing on was only a mere square inch, like a miniature world, with raging flames burning above his head, forming a sea of red, and the debris of dead branches and fallen leaves fell rustlingly, entraining countless fireballs, falling one after another Into the wet mud, under the scorching fire, even the water in the mud was squeezed out, and the ground gradually faded into a scorched black.
What is more difficult than the fire is the smoke and dust. The dust is flying around, and the place where the flames cannot reach is occupied by thick smoke. The thick smoke rolls into the nose, involuntarily squeezing the fresh air away, leaving only a suffocating smell.
The reason why Liu Hongfeng was still alive was because of the puddle of water in the corner.
He was standing in chest-deep water.
A thick layer of moss floated on the surface of the water, giving off a rotten smell, and there were many invisible dirt hidden in it, which made people feel hairy.
He tore off his outer shirt, wet it with water, covered his mouth and nose, and the unpleasant rotten smell penetrated into his nostrils, coupled with the squeezing sensation in his chest, it was as if he was buried alive in a grave.
But compared with the raging fire, this puddle of water has become the most gentle thing.Liu Hongfeng had no choice but to wet his clothes again and again and cover his nose. He complained between breaths: "Which bastard came up with such a bad idea to start a fire? Could it be that he wants to cook us alive?"
Duan Changya said beside him: "Speak less."
Liu Hongfeng shook his head: "If I don't say a few words, I don't know whether I am alive or dead."
Duan Changya said, "Don't worry, I won't die."
Duan Changya's confidence is not groundless. Although the fire is raging, there is actually a spring in this narrow water.
But this trickle of water has become a magic weapon against the fire at this moment. The water seeps into the soil and re-wets the burnt parts.The people hiding in the water also benefited from the favor of the spring, and their bodies were miraculously separated from the sea of fire, avoiding the end of life and death.
Liu Hongfeng and Duan Changya hid in the water, because the water surface was really small, they had to lower their heads and shrink their shoulders like bushes by the water.
But they are not as slender as the trees, so they can only be back to back, as if glued together, firmly sticking together.
The too close distance tortured Liu Hongfeng's mind. He desperately wanted to divert his attention, so he said in a dry voice: "You are really lucky. You jumped into the water and just happened to meet a spring."
Duan Changya said: "It's not luck, I knew there was a spring here."
"why?"
"I used to play nearby when I was a child, and I saw this pool, and it looks almost unchanged from now. If it is stagnant water, it will never remain the same after ten years. So I guess, there should be a source of water here."
"So that's the case. So you're a smart person. Looking at your appearance, I thought you must be an idiot."
As Liu Hongfeng said, he turned his head sideways, and from the corner of his vision, he happened to catch a glimpse of the other party's frowning.Outlined by the firelight, the creases between the brows looked extraordinarily deep. Obviously, Duan Changya was full of resistance to his nonsense.
He didn't expect the other party to believe it. In fact, even he himself didn't know how long this amnesia trick could last.
Sometimes, a lie is not to deceive others, but to deceive yourself.
The sound of burning was long and loud, and countless fine particles burst under the lick of the tongue of fire, crackling and crackling, and the people above the head could be faintly heard talking, but the content of the speech could not be discerned at all.The flames overwhelmed the sky, dyeing the top of the head like day, but the bottom of the valley seemed to be imprisoned in eternal night, and it was not known whether the next dawn would be ushered in.
Soaking in the water, Liu Hongfeng felt that the soles of her feet were gradually becoming weak, her body was involuntarily limp, her eyes were staring at the floating algae, and her vision became more and more blurred.
Duan Changya's voice interrupted his thoughts: "You are trembling."
He blinked and said, "You must be trembling."
The man was too sharp, he thought, and he couldn't wait to get away from him, so he took a step forward in the water.But he seemed to have an invisible rein on his body, making it difficult for him to move forward.He frowned, and kicked hard on the soles of his feet, but unexpectedly, his toes sank into the soft mud, he staggered a step, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.
The water splashed everywhere, but instead of falling down, he sank into the opponent's arms, with his head pressed against the opponent's shoulder.
Duan Changya grabbed his shoulders, his movements were a little tough, with a hint of complaint.
The two became facing each other, and Duan Changya's palm was involuntarily pressed against his forehead.
"It's so cold." He complained tremblingly.
Duan Changya said, "It's not that I'm cold, but your forehead is too hot. You clearly have a fever."
Liu Hongfeng couldn't help being startled, he just suffered a little trauma, so he wouldn't show his weak side at all, but the poison left in his body was causing trouble, gradually stripping his strength and dignity from his body.
Facing Duan Changya's scrutinizing eyes, he became more and more unwilling, so he said coldly: "If you have just finished the bone joint, and then you are chased for a long distance, fell into the mud, and then stood in the water to be roasted by the fire, You'll have a fever too."
The crackling sound of burning became as intense as a drum beating.
He knew very well that time was running out, and before he died, perhaps he should abandon the ridiculous lies, put down his cheap dignity, and tell the other party the truth he heard from Aunt Su's mouth completely.
If you don't say it now, you won't have a chance in the future.
But at the next moment, Duan Changya made an unexpected move.
Duan Changya opened his arms and hugged him in the water.
Liu Hongfeng was startled, and immediately struggled to get away, but the other party increased the strength of his arm as if deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
"what are you doing?"
"save you."
"No need."
The pool was too small, the distance between the two of them was too close, and the tips of their noses were about to stick together, so Liu Hongfeng could only lower his eyes to avoid the too sharp gaze from a few feet away.
Duan Changya's lips pressed against his ear: "Didn't you lose your memory? Since you don't know me, why resist so much? Do I look like a bad guy?"
"It's not like that," Liu Hongfeng gritted his teeth and squeezed out scattered words, "You are simply an honest gentleman who sleeps with a sage book on his pillow."
His tone was full of sarcasm, but Duan Changya didn't get angry, he just replied lightly: "If that's the case, then calm down."
In the divided world of half water and half fire, Duan Changya took him into his arms and shared his precious body temperature with him.
Liu Hongfeng's mind was in chaos.
It is probably because the brain melted during the fever, and the rationality that he was proud of before is completely useless at this moment. The body seems to be out of control. Shoulder.
Liu Hongfeng hated this weak and humble body so much, his consciousness seemed to float up, floating in the sky, quietly watching himself when he was making a fool of himself, full of anxiety, but powerless.
Duan Changya seemed to be waiting for a long time. When Liu Hongfeng made a signal, he immediately spread out a hand, put it on the latter's back, and pressed hard, pressing this person and his chest together.
Liu Hongfeng's head rested on Duan Changya's shoulder, her cheek brushed against the other's ear from time to time, and her own earlobe was also rubbed by the other's lips.
The indistinct touch from the sensitive place made him fall into obsession involuntarily.The last trace of dignity remaining in his heart desperately cut off his thoughts, preventing him from continuing to think.Duan Changya was his feud, one of the culprits who killed his mother, the person who hurt him deeply ten years ago, and was cruelly betrayed by him ten years later.Even if he had slept in the same bed with this person, however, that was also a part of deception, completely different from the current situation.
At this moment, he is only one step away from death, no matter how embarrassing the ending, he also wants to save a bit of dignity for himself.
He poured the truth into his heart time and time again, tried his best to resist the instinct, but even so, he still couldn't hide the slack in his body.How painful his thoughts are, how comfortable the body temperature against his chest is.After all, he was just a mediocre person, and he couldn't refuse even such a simple and naked temptation.
He was torn apart by two strands of thoughts, as if he was going to be split in two. In the chaos, he only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness seemed to escape into the deep sea, invisible...
At this moment, Duan Changya said: "Don't sleep, this is not a place to sleep, you'd better stay awake."
These innocuous words were extremely harsh to his ears, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you making things difficult for others?"
Duan Changya showed a hint of embarrassment, and said after a while: "If you can't help feeling sleepy, I can talk with you."
This is the real difficulty of the strong.
Liu Hongfeng smiled to himself, but pretended not to understand, and said, "Okay, then tell me, I'll be all ears."
Duan Changya pursed his lips, Liu Hongfeng couldn't see his face out of the corner of his eye, only the sideburns and ear pinnae could be seen.The ears are moved by the lips, trembling slightly, like a clumsy servant, inadvertently revealing the master's desperately suppressed thoughts.
What is this man thinking?
Although Liu Hongfeng was pressing against Duan Changya's chest, he was completely unable to fathom this person's thoughts. He could only imagine that if the positions of the two were switched, at this very moment, he must have countless questions that he wanted to put into words. .
——Why did you lie to me?Why did you want my family to be ruined and displaced?Why do things still come to me and torture me now?
He couldn't answer any of these questions, so in front of Duan Changya, he could only lie about his amnesia and use clumsy excuses to cover up the emptiness in his heart.
His disguise is full of flaws, like soap bubbles floating in the air, which can be pierced with a finger.
But to his surprise, Duan Changya didn't ask any questions.
Duan Changya just said in his usual flat and cold voice: "You were not like this before."
"before?"
"You used to talk a lot. No matter what I said, you always had to argue with me. I never said anything about you, so I would rather shut up."
Holding the thoughts, recalling the past uncontrollably.
"That's right, let me accompany you on behalf of my former self. He is probably a bastard. He is jealous that you are more handsome than him, so he deliberately came to trouble you."
Duan Changya chuckled lightly, then shook his head again, with a slight sense of helplessness in his small movements.
Originally, after this embarrassing escape and desperate struggle, Duan Changya's white shirt was already covered with mud, his hair was soaked into strands of sweat, the ends were still stained with dirt, and his cheeks looked like they were covered in ashes from a coal stove. It looked like it had passed, blue and gray, but even so, there was no trace of dirt in his complexion, even under the sky covered by flames, it was still as clear as the bright moon.
Probably because this person's heart is always clean, no matter how thick the worldly dust is, it can only tarnish his appearance, but cannot infect his spirit.
Duan Changya's temple hair rubbed against Liu Hongfeng's cheek, and the soft touch accompanied the rhythm of his voice, repeatedly, lingering, and constantly teasing the latter's mind.
Liu Hongfeng's breathing became somewhat rapid, and she couldn't help writhing in the opponent's arms.
"What's wrong?" Duan Changya asked.
Liu Hongfeng coughed lowly: "I just suddenly remembered that I like men."
After saying this thoughtless remark, he immediately regretted it.The so-called self-digging is nothing more than that. In order to make up for his slip of the tongue, he immediately changed his tone and said righteously: "You should stay away from me, lest I take advantage of you."
"You can't even stand firmly, who else can you take advantage of?"
Duan Changya laughed again as he spoke, his shoulders trembled slightly, and through the tight skin of the two, every subtle movement was transmitted to the other without deviation.
Unwilling, Liu Hongfeng argued, "At this time and at that time, I advise you not to treat the belly of a bastard with the heart of a sage."
"You used to take advantage of others, and I didn't see you discussing with others, let alone saying such things."
"Couldn't you have lost your virginity with me?"
Duan Changya didn't answer immediately, but suddenly froze for a moment.
Liu Hongfeng continued: "So I was really a jerk before?"
Duan Changya asked back: "Why don't you take this opportunity to reform yourself?"
A pair of powerful hands went around Liu Hongfeng's back, pressed against his neck, and gently rubbed it.
It was just an unconscious gesture, without any hint of obscenity.In such a cramped environment surrounded by fire and water, surrounded by mud baths, probably only a real jerk would have inappropriate thoughts.
Liu Hongfeng just wanted to scold herself.
He really couldn't continue to stay with Duan Changya, as long as this person was by his side, he would no longer be himself, lost his dignity, lost his wisdom, and the despicableness and cowardice in his soul were completely exposed to the outside world.
He wanted to run away. If he didn't run away now, he would be torn into pieces by the opposite thoughts in his mind.
However, he only showed a slight intention to retreat, and Duan Changya easily used his arm to pull him back.
"Liu Hongfeng, can you be a little quieter, what are you afraid of?"
