Blossoms

3.

Leaving Shengdu quickly, Chu Rui took Zixi across several small towns and rushed towards the south of the Yangtze River.

The weather along the way was getting colder, Chu Rui made several layers of thick clothes for Zixi, although Jiangnan was not too cold, but he couldn't rush to Jiangnan right away.

Their physical strength is limited.

Zixi followed Chu Rui with brisk steps, and Chu Rui kept holding him with one hand, Zixi only felt that the heat on her body was coming from Chu Rui's hand, and her heart was warm.

The Central Plains finally began to have the first snow of this year.

Zixi and Chu Rui were sitting in a tavern by the side road, and when Chu Rui asked the boss for directions, he was put aside in a daze, staring at the snow falling from the sky, and stretched out his hand to catch it in a daze.

Winter is the season when wild animals hibernate.

Zixi remembered his last mission as a killer. Under the snow all over the sky, he did not hide in the dark and kill the target directly, but took the person to the mountain behind the target's villa.

What did you actually think at the time?Because you realize you're going crazy?

Thinking about it this way, he wasn't completely crazy.

why?He forgot why he did it.

"Zixi." Chu Rui patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go."

Zixi responded and grabbed his hand.

"Tell me if it's cold." Chu Rui patted the white snow off his body for him, Zixi shook her head, how could it be possible, how could it be possible to be cold with Chu Ruirui.

He smiled and followed Chu Rui out of the tavern.

The tavern owner behind him glanced at them, and countless people in black rushed out behind him. The owner turned around and waved his hand, motioning for them to follow.

Zixi jumped on the path covered by the first snow, raised her foot and kicked up a burst of white snow.

"Don't make trouble." Chu Rui pulled him over to stand side by side with him, and said angrily, "You still look like a child at this age."

You are just like a child, Zixi blinked and smiled at him.

Thinking about it this way, why is this sentence so sweet.

Like a lot of sugar cake stuffed in the mouth.

Zixi raised her eyebrows: "Chu Ruirui, I haven't eaten candy for a long time."

"I'll do it for you when I find a chance." Chu Rui pinched his face, Zixi pouted dissatisfiedly, and then remembered that she had thought about Chu Ruirui even if there was no candy a few days ago.

If Chu Ruirui gets angry and kicks himself away, then he will never have any sweets to eat.

Zixi's brain circuit suddenly went from wanting to eat candy cakes to Chu Rui not making candy cakes for herself. If Chu Rui knew what he was thinking, he would think Zixi was so stupid.

Zixi is not stupid, at least he knows that he cannot lose Chu Rui even if he loses TangGao.

Then Zixi, who was laughing, lifted her hand and put it in front of Chu Rui. If there was no candy cake, she would exchange it for something: "Kiss."

Chu Rui's mind went blank for a moment, how could Zixi remember this.

Zixi waved her hand dissatisfied, and moved it to Chu Rui's mouth.

Chu Rui was about to react when there was a strange sound.

If it weren't for his deep internal strength, Chu Rui probably wouldn't have noticed this strange sound.

Someone is following.

Zixi heard it too, but Chu Ruirui was about to kiss her!

The resentment was so deep, deeper than not being able to eat candy cakes, Zixi immediately drew his sword and released a sword intent before throwing it over with a look of anger.

The tree that had accidentally become cannon fodder snapped into two pieces with a click, and the upper half was cut off directly.

With a bang——blocked the road.

Chu Rui raised his forehead, he didn't stop him from doing it last time, but this time he must stop him, so he quickly grabbed Zixi: "Zixi, your body is just right, it's better not to do it again."

Zixi was originally frowning, but seeing Chu Rui's pleading expression, she suddenly complied.

If you don't fight, you don't fight.

Zixi inserted the iron sword back into the scabbard, pouted for a while, and said to Chu Rui, "Chu Ruirui, why don't you kiss me."

Chu Rui looked around at the silent surroundings, and when he heard Zixi say this, his heart warmed up, he smiled naturally, turned around and took Zixi's face and pressed a kiss on it.

Zixi was stunned for half a second, Chu Rui had already thrown off the fan to block the hidden weapon flying from the forest.

The face is hot.

Zixi rubbed her face and smirked aside.

"Who? What is sneaking around?" Chu Rui lowered his face, and his voice came out with internal force.

There was an instant silence in the woods.

Zixi touched her face, turned around and saw a man in black staring blankly at her.

Zixi smiled brightly at him.

The man in black was so shocked by his smile that he didn't dare to move. With a wave of Chu Rui's fan, countless flying knives formed by internal force flew towards him. This was the first time that Zixi looked at Chu Rui's moves so seriously, satisfied smiled.

The man in black was hit, and Chu Rui was about to walk towards him, but countless men in black rushed out behind him.

Chu Rui frowned, and with a wave of his hand, several flying knives flew over quickly.

Zixi opened her eyes wide and watched several men in black fall down after being hit hard, and excitedly went to grab Chu Rui's hand: "Chu Ruirui is so powerful!"

Chu Rui wanted to say that he was not as good as you, but he still patted Zixi's head.

With a sound of "whoosh--", Chu Rui pushed Zixi away, closed his fan and knocked out the flying hidden weapon.

The men in black who could no longer hide in the dark and could only besiege jumped out and surrounded Chu Rui.

Zixi watched them cover their faces one by one, and a question popped up in her heart.

Can't you see it?Won't it be uncomfortable?

Thinking of this, the people around him started to move, and they hit him head-on with their palms, and they wrestled with the man in black.

Zixi thought it would be fine as long as she didn't fight, so she raised her hand and quickly touched the other man in black.

Fast and accurate, the man in black felt his whole body was paralyzed, he couldn't even stand still, and fell to the ground.

Zixi looked at him, smiled evilly, and became playful.

On the other side, Chu Rui swung his palm and stunned the person in front of him. With the other hand, he swung his fan to block the incoming person's move, and kicked the person with his foot, quickly killing several of them.

Zixi tilted her head during the siege, it was actually fun?

Another person rushed towards him. Zixi was going to give him acupuncture points, but Chu Rui shook his hand and the person fell to the ground. Zixi sighed regretfully. Seeing that he wanted to get up, she used her internal strength to go there. A poke on the person.

Ahah yelled twice, and the man fell to the ground again.

Zixi glanced at him maliciously, then poked him again.

"Zixi?" Chu Rui dealt with everyone, turned around and saw Zixi laughing and poking the man in black who had fallen to the ground and was still shivering.

"Where did you come from?" Chu Rui asked the people on the ground, and gave Zixi one last look.

Zixi waved her hand, and quickly jumped up to act obedient: "Chu Ruirui, I didn't hit them."

The man in black on the ground twitched and remained silent.

Chu Rui quickly relieved him, and the man breathed a sigh of relief: "The boss thought you were from the Wan Poison Sect and insisted on attacking him. It looks more like a newlywed couple..."

Zixi groaned, she wanted to pretend to be a couple, so she continued to pretend to be good: "Husband, I really didn't hit them."

The man in black on the ground didn't want to talk anymore.

You didn't hit them with that call just now, well he admitted it.

Why did you change your name again?Chu Rui tried his best to ignore Zi Xi holding his arm and shaking it back and forth, glanced at the man in black, and asked, "What are you chasing after Wan Poison Sect?"

"People from Wandu have been coming to our village to make trouble recently, and our boss thinks that the children who disappeared recently were captured by those people from Wandu to test the medicine..." The man in black was about to cry as he spoke. no tears.

the village?

Chu Rui asked, "Where is the village?"

"Penglai...the entrance to the village, right there." The man in black's voice trembled.

Chu Rui and Zixi looked at each other, and Chu Rui wanted to speak, but Zixi kicked the people on the ground directly: "If you give me food tonight, I won't poke you, okay?"

The man in black trembled.

Penglai Village is not far from the small forest where they just fought, and the entrance is above the tavern.

The man in black explained the ins and outs to the boss, and the boss took them back to the tavern in good spirits. Zixi stared at a group of men in black around him, and they stared back.

The owner of the tavern quickly apologized: "Guest officer, don't mind, it's just that Wan Du is causing a lot of trouble here, we just drag a few fellow villagers to find their trouble..."

In fact, Chu Rui has already believed eight points. When he just fought, he felt that these people had some martial arts foundation, but the victory was due to the large number of people, the martial arts were miscellaneous, and the hidden weapons were just blown. .

Penglai Village is actually the place where most of the small sects in the rivers and lakes live.

Tired of staring, Zixi cheerfully took the noodle soup brought to her by the tavern owner.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then I have to give the money." Chu Rui quickly took out the money and stuffed it into the boss's hand: "Even if we bother you here all night, we will go out tomorrow."

The boss blinked, stuffed the silver back into Chu Rui's arms, and suddenly knelt down with a plop!

Chu Rui was stunned by his actions, but Zixi looked at him with a smile.

"Boss, why are you doing this?" Chu Rui hurriedly wanted to arrest him, but the boss firmly held him down: "I'm lucky enough to meet an expert today, I just hope you can help us save the child!"

As soon as the boss said, everyone knelt down.

Chu Rui was stunned for a moment and quickly knelt down too. Seeing this, Zixi didn't eat the noodles, and immediately jumped up in a rage: "Husband, do you just kneel when they kneel down for you?"

The boss ignored Zi Xi's angry roar: "Hero, help us save the child."

"Wan Du has a grudge against us." Chu Rui said, "In case I cause trouble to Senior Sister..."

"If the hero doesn't agree, we won't get up!" After speaking, he held back Chu Rui.

Zixi glanced sharply, and immediately drew out his sword angrily: "Let, let, your, hand!"

The boss froze for a moment, and quickly threw away Chu Rui's hand.

"Okay, okay, you all get up first." Chu Rui was thrown away by the boss, but he still reached out to help him up. The boss alone endured Zixi's eyes and thanked Chu Rui many times.

Seeing that the crowd had calmed down, Zixi put the sword back into its scabbard.

Chu Rui quickly patted his head to comfort him, and Zixi snorted.

Why do you look so much like a senior sister?Chu Rui couldn't help being amused by him again.

Afterwards, the boss settled the two of them, and explained to Chu Rui that Wan Poison Sect came to make trouble in the village in the past. After they resisted, the children began to disappear one by two. They didn't know how to disappear, so they guessed that it was Wan Poison Sect people did it to get revenge on them.

"Besides, I just heard a while ago that people in Wandu like to test medicines with children..." The boss couldn't help sobbing when he said this: "Our daughter is only so young, and she was caught there. I don't know what happened..."

Seeing Chu Rui's pensive expression, Zixi felt upset.

It was late at night after the boss cried, and the boss thought that they were a newlywed couple, so the boss naturally asked the innkeeper in the village to give them a room.

Chu Rui learned to be smart this time, and quickly shook his head: "Boss, two rooms."

Zixi was originally cheerful, but when she heard Chu Rui's words, she immediately raised her eyes and glared at the innkeeper.

The shopkeeper is also a human being, he always felt that if he didn't say something, he would be hacked by the girl in front of him, so he smiled: "Hehe... Our inn is dilapidated, and there is only one room left for people to live in."

Chu Rui frowned, Zixi snorted again.

"Then I'll find the tavern owner to borrow a night." Chu Rui turned around and left.

Zixi glanced at the shopkeeper, who smiled sheepishly.
