Yan Fei

The residence of Yanzi's family is located in Caoqing, some distance away from the grassland in the northeast, and it takes a few days to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Yanzi squatted in the corner of the carriage, repairing Yaner's broken paper kite, while Yaner leaned against the wall of the carriage, eating melon seeds and watching him work.

"Brother, what are you talking about, you're bored to death." Yan'er muttered.

Swallow sighed, put down the kite, and looked at her: "What did I say? What can I say... Sister, you better stop talking. Recently, I always feel that something is not quite right."

"Is there anything wrong with it, it's almost green."

Yanzi paused for repairing the kite, leaned over to the carriage door and listened for a while, then suddenly climbed to her side, and lightly knocked on the wooden board of the carriage behind her, and the whole board fell off. He caught it and carefully put it on the ground.

Behind the plank was a recess in which lay a sword.

"Brother... what are you going to do?" Yan'er frowned and pinched his wrist.

Yanzi held the sword and looked out the car window.

"Hold on to me!" Yanzi shouted suddenly, and jumped out of the car window with her sister in her arms.

Yan'er didn't react right away, but was frightened and clutched his clothes tightly.When he regained his senses and looked at the carriage, it had been torn apart into a pile of smoky debris.

Her lovely face was suddenly pale with fright.

"This, this is..."

Yanzi hugged Yan'er tightly, and looked warily at the aunt who had taken care of them and a few guards standing beside the wreckage of the carriage. He stared at them grinning.

"You boy, you actually have some skills." The elderly woman spat, tucked the hair behind her ears, and said, "Kill them."

Swallow jumped onto the back of the big dog, hugged its furry neck tightly, and protected Yan'er in his arms. His legs pinched the big dog's belly, and the big dog took them both along a path.

The big yellow-haired dog was found by the two's father when they went out, and there was another big dog of similar size in the mansion.This dog was a small one when it was young, but when it grows up, it is no problem to carry two children on its back.

"Sister! Hold the pelican!" Yanzi shouted in Yan'er's ear, and after Yan'er hugged the pelican tightly, he took out a handful of black balls and threw them behind him.

The black ball exploded on the ground, and a large cloud of smoke exploded in the middle of the two sides, covering the woman's sight.

Taking the opportunity, the pelican spread its four legs and ran into the deep mountains and old forests.

The pelican knew that there was a way to get back to the house quickly, but the mountain road was rugged, and it was not easy to climb with two children on its back. In order to break the rear, the swallow had to climb down and climb up by holding onto the tree trunk.

Fang turned over a hill, and heard Yanzi gasp suddenly, and almost fell headfirst.

"Swallow!" Yan'er was so anxious that she almost cried out, reaching out to grab him.Now besides Pelican, there is only this younger brother who has protected her since she was a child from being bullied by those grassy dandies. If something happens to her younger brother, she will really go crazy.

"Sister... listen to me," Yanzi grabbed Yan'er's arm and gritted his teeth, "You and the pelican went back to the mansion first, and found someone. I'll hide here for a while."

Dou Da tears welled up in Yan'er's eyes, she shook her head carelessly, and shouted: "Let's go together—"

"Sister!" Swallow said angrily, "I can't move now! Go back and report the news to me obediently! Did you hear that?!"

Yan'er flinched from his yelling, and was taken away by the clever pelican when she was in a daze.

Swallow reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, found a cave and sat down.

He lifted his trouser legs to inspect the wound.There were two small holes side by side, and two streams of black blood flowed down, soaking the trousers, and the area around the small holes was already red and swollen.

He gritted his teeth, took the sword and cut an opening in the wound, letting the poisonous blood flow out.Then he took some water from a small spring in the cave to wash.Earlier, he felt that this cave was strangely cold, and the stone walls were still damp, so there might be some source of water.After crawling into the hole for a while and feeling some moss, he was even more sure.This time I really guessed right.

The cave is too obvious.He moistened his throat with water again, pulled his clothes and wrapped his legs, climbed out of the cave to find another way down the mountain.

Right now, it's better to quickly find a place where there are many people.

But he didn't know if he was going astray or what. It was dark and he still couldn't find the way out of the mountain. After groping in the dark for a long time, he managed to reach a deserted mountain road.

Swallow cursed secretly.Coming to this ghost place is better than nesting in the deep mountains and old forests.Auntie's group of people will definitely not run in one place all at once, this road is not difficult to find, and it is estimated that they will almost find it.

Thinking of this, Yanzi didn't run as desperately as he could. Instead, he leaned on his sword and dragged his injured leg step by step along the mountain path.

There is no open fire on the mountain road, and there is only a little cold moonlight to guide the way under the night.The swallow walked forward like a blind man, but its ears listened more carefully.

He did hear the clattering of horseshoes on the dirt road.

Not long after, he vaguely saw a man in a black robe with a veiled cap driving a carriage on the mountain road, humming a little tune, and turning a shiny blade between his fingers.

He stopped suddenly and asked, "Who's there?"

A lamp was hung on the carriage, but the candlelight failed to reach where the swallow was.

Yanzi picked up the sword and smashed the yellow earth under his feet, and said, "Can you give me a ride?"

The man became interested, and rode up to him, looked at him behind the black veil, bent down and easily lifted him to the back of the carriage with one hand.

"Young master, why are you still out here in the wilderness so late?" He asked, resting his cheek.

Yanzi loosened the clothes on her legs and tied them again, Fang said: "My sister and I were hunted down, I told her to go back and find someone."

Hearing this, the man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and began to re-examine the child.

Now Yanzi has a piece of clothing tied to his legs, and only a single piece of clothing on his upper body. The bird in his arms fell out as soon as his arm moved, and happened to fall into the hands of the man with quick eyesight and quick hands.

He took it under the lamp and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed.

"Where did you come from?" he asked.

Swallow looked into his hand, took the bird back in a panic, stuffed it into his arms, and covered it tightly: "Someone gave it to me a while ago, and I told him that I would keep it safe..."

Seeing his serious appearance, the man couldn't hold back, and let out a "puchi" laugh.

"Hahaha... you little brother is really interesting. Let me talk about it, I'm not trying to steal your things, I'm just asking." The man patted him on the shoulder, and after a while he calmed down, "Where are you going? Just take you for a ride."

"Caoqing." Originally, he was just thinking about where to drop by, but since he spoke first, he didn't need to be polite.

The horse trotted forward leisurely, and the man found a rope and gave it to Yanzi, saying, "Take the rope and hang the bird around your neck, don't lose it."

Swallow took the rope, rubbed it in his hand, tied the string to the hole on the bird, tied it in a knot, and hung it around his neck. As if to reassure himself, he reached out and touched it.

"You really are a baby."

"Because it's someone else's." Yanzi replied without raising her head, gripping the hilt of her sword tightly.

The man smiled and said, "At least it's yours now."
