Beautiful lady, why not follow the thief

The morning bells of the mountain temples are raised, majestic and majestic, and the lingering sounds are ethereal, evoking the sunrise.The morning mist gradually dissipated, and the bamboo branches swayed in the breeze to drop a few drops of dew.A winding path leads to the small town of Sishui, with a horse walking slowly along it.

Immediately, two young men were picked up. One was driving a horse with a rope, with a fresh bamboo leaf in his mouth, humming folk tunes, shaking his head and enjoying himself.The other person sat sideways on the horse, wrapped in a thick fox fur cloak, nestled quietly in the arms of the man behind him, with his eyes closed, as if he was still in a sweet dream.

After the morning clock set, the sleeping man's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. He was still sleepy, and he heard a voice full of smiles above his head: "Ma'am, are you awake?"

Yan Heng reacted for a moment, rolled his eyes weakly, and closed his eyes again.But I thought in my heart: I trust this guy too much, to sleep so soundly next to him.

Things weren't like this a few days ago.

They saw each other's secrets in the storm that day. Although there were too many surprises, no one asked much afterwards.Xiao Xie didn't ask about the witch hazel song, and Yan Heng didn't ask about his obsession.

Even when Yan Heng revealed his mask and Xiao Xie saw it after waking up, he didn't explain it.Yan Heng didn't know the real face either, but he just thought it looked good. If a person changed his appearance, there were two reasons for it, one was to cover up his ugliness, and the other was to cover up his identity.Then Xiao Xie is obviously the latter.

Sure enough, he is not such a simple refugee, but everyone has secrets, and Xiao Xie almost risked his life to save him, which is enough for Yan Heng not to ask other questions.

After the rainstorm that night, many things seemed to be different.

Yan Heng sighed deeply in his heart.

At this time, Xiao Xie, who had put on the fake leather again, seemed as if nothing had happened. He carefully felt the direction of the downwind, looked up at the sky, pulled in the rope and stopped the horse, and helped Yan Heng down to sit by the tree. Next, said: "You rest for a while, there should be running water nearby, I'll go get some fresh water."

Yan Heng lazily replied, leaning against the tree and continuing to rest with his eyes closed.

Xiao Xie walked along the ridge for about a few hundred meters, and found a clear spring flowing. He went there to wash his face, and took some water from the kettle.

He was humming a ditty when he suddenly seemed to hear the sound of weapons clashing in the distance. He concentrated on identifying the direction, thought for a while, and moved towards the source of the sound.

Unexpectedly, a group of gangsters were fighting against a few Jianghu knights. Those Jianghu disciples were five men and three women, all dressed neatly, carrying four horses and a carriage. It could be seen that these eight people were not ordinary sect disciples, but they all dressed very low-key, which attracted the covetousness of bandits.

It was not easy for the bandits to recruit these people after a long time with them, but Xiao Xie recognized at a glance that these eight people were disciples of Cangya or inner disciples, and they had a certain level of proficiency in swordsmanship.

Why are disciples of Cangya here?Xiao Xie smiled playfully.

This group of people did not seem to be the group that chased and killed Yan Heng that night. They appeared near Xu Cheng at this time, and their destination should be obvious.It seems that not only the twelfth floor intends to come to Xu Cheng to share the profit, but Cangya Mountain is not far behind.

Xiao Xie approached and hid behind a tree to watch the battle carefully.

A delicate woman with a cross-knot seemed to be in poor health, and was spotted by the bandits as a shortcoming, and several people joined forces to attack. The woman accidentally tripped over a stone under her feet, and when she tilted her sword, she was about to be hurt. One palm.

Another man in a crow-blue robe noticed and shouted at her: "Zhouer be careful!"

But it was too late for him to remind, the woman had no time to dodge, she closed her eyes and waited for orders. Unexpectedly, a boy dressed as a farmer jumped out halfway, kicked the bandit's chest with both feet, and flicked away the dagger that struck the woman behind her.

The crow-colored robe quickly restrained the enemy and came to support them. Seeing that they had lost their best opportunity, the bandits knew that they were invincible, so they gave each other winks and retreated one after another.

The rescued woman had a false alarm, wiped off her cold sweat, turned her head and said to the young man, "Thank you, young hero, for your help!"

Xiao Xie twirled the rope of the kettle, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, the road is not fair. Bandits in the mountains are very annoying, and my brother and I were robbed of our money by them."

Seeing his good looks, the woman smiled even more handsomely at this time, she couldn't help but blushed, she looked away and said, "These bandits really kill a thousand swords!" They came over and asked her one after another: "Senior Sister Qingzhou, are you alright?"

The man in the crow blue robe seemed to be the most senior among these people. He stopped the chattering of several people, and gave Xiao Xie a fist: "The young hero just offered to help, I am grateful, Xu Yan in Xia Cangya Mountain, Good luck!"

Cangya Mountain pays attention to the two characters of being upright and upright. Although they hid their identities and went out in a low-key manner, they saw that Xiao Xie was a benefactor, so they put their names on the report out of courtesy, obviously they intended to repay each other.

Xiao Xie waved his hand: "It's just a coincidence, don't worry, I don't have a name or surname, just call me Xiao Xie."

His answer stunned everyone, and Xu Yan introduced the names of other people to him. A group of people came and went by chance. Xiao Xie was really too lazy to deal with it, so he just nodded. , dressed as a farmer, pretending that he was an ignorant country boy, and didn't care, and asked him why he came here and where he was going. Xiao Xie said that he and his brother came from Wancheng and were going to Xucheng to visit relatives. The bandit snatched the money, and there was only one horse left. He just came to fetch some water for his frail elder brother.

They also happened to be going to Xu Cheng, seeing how pitiful he was, and his background was embarrassing, especially the woman named Qingzhou, who strongly urged the two brothers to take them as companions to ensure a safe journey.

Xiao Xie half-pushed and agreed, and pointed to the direction where "brother" was, which happened to be the direction they wanted to go, and they went there together.

Yan Heng waited on the spot for a long time, seeing that Xiao Xie didn't come back, he was not in a hurry, got up and exercised his muscles and bones, punched a set of physical fitness, broke out a little sweat, and sat cross-legged to rest.

After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him. He hurriedly got up and pulled the horse, trying to pretend to be a passing farmer, but he saw Xiao Xie among the people coming.

Xiao Xie waved at him from a distance, with an innocent look, and shouted: "Cousin Fanghan!"

Yan Heng's eyebrows twitched, and he watched him run over with a half-smile.

After Xiaoxie came over, he grabbed his hand and said, "Cousin, I met a group of heroes! You've heard of Cangya Mountain, they are from Cangya Mountain! Are they amazing? We don't have to worry about not being able to reach Xucheng." , the hero said he could take us for a ride!"

Xu Yan smiled far away: "Little brother doesn't need to be a hero, we are just ordinary Cangya disciples, just call us by name. This is your cousin, right? He looks really..."

He originally wanted to say "a good-looking talent", but after taking a few steps closer, he glanced casually at Yan Heng, and then fell silent.This younger brother is already so handsome that he doesn't look like a commoner, so why does his elder brother look so... good-looking.Bai didn't look good, although he knew he was sick, but how could a farmer who was exposed to wind and rain all year round have such a temperament as them?

Suspicion arose in Xu Yan's heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. He came over and bowed to Yan Heng, recounted to him the story of Xiaoxie saving people just now, introduced everyone to him one by one, and finally explained why People came together and asked him if he would like to go with him.

Yan Heng was even more puzzled, when had he and the people from Cangya Mountain been so polite and humble?A few days ago, he was being chased and sniped, he looked at these people calmly, and then glanced at Xiao Xie.

He already cared about the relationship between Xiao Xie and Cangya Mountain, but now he suddenly brought people from Cangya Mountain over to ask for a deal, how could he not doubt his motives.The trust built a few days ago looks so fragile, there are signs of cracks at the slightest touch.

Yan Heng did not want to go with these people in his heart. Although he and Xiao Xie were short of supplies, the only thing that could be exchanged for money was given to the hunter. In exchange for a horse, a cloak and two sets of clothes, Ruo and Cangyashan People can eat and drink with them, and maybe find useful news, but the risk is too great.

Thinking of this, Yan Heng cupped his hands and smiled at Xu Yan: "My brothers and I appreciate the kindness of the heroes, but the journey to Xucheng is not smooth, and traveling along the way will inevitably cause trouble for everyone, so we still..."

"Cousin!" Xiao Xie interrupted him, with an aggrieved expression on his face, "You, do you think I don't know about your illness? Last night while I was asleep, did you sneak up to avoid my coughing?" Blood?" He said, touching two tears as if they were real, "Do you think I am willing to cause trouble for others? I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you. If I encounter bandits again, I will What if I can’t beat it? Last time I was lucky and ran away, who knows next time?” He cried more and more vigorously, and said in a sobbing voice: “When we left Wancheng, my aunt told me that I must To cure your illness, I, woo woo, I have no choice but to cause trouble for others..."

"No trouble, no trouble!" Xu Yan frantically waved his hands in panic, "Little brother, don't cry, hey, cousin Fang, don't refuse! You really don't bother us! Little brother saved me!" Junior Sister Zhou, we must repay this kindness!"

Xu Yan was suspicious of the two at first, seeing that Yan Heng didn't intend to rely on them earlier, but now Xiao Xie was crying sincerely again, all those doubts were thrown away, and he felt that even if the two were not from a farming family , is also a desperate person who has no choice but to save them just now, how can he be so suspicious of others!

"Yes, cousin Fang, look at your brother, how much I love you, don't tell him to cry anymore, really, sorry..."

Qing Zhou and the other two women beside her couldn't help but secretly wiped the corners of their eyes when they heard Xiao Xie's brotherly love.

Those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry.

Yan Heng: "..." Lost.

These people persuaded Yan Heng for a while, and Yan Heng finally said, "Okay...thank you all."

A group of people happily set out on the road.

Xiao Xie slowed down, and Yan Heng slightly lagged behind the crowd, secretly hooked Gou Yanheng's hand, and said, "Cousin, don't you feel sorry for me crying?"

Yan Heng sneered.

Qingzhou, who was closest to them in front, suddenly turned around, looked at Yan Heng with a complaining face, and seemed to say: "How can there be such a big brother, who doesn't understand my brother's painstaking efforts at all."

Yan Heng: "..."

Xiao Xie hooked her mouth and showed a smug smile.

Yan Heng suddenly looked at him, sniffed, his eyes turned red.

Xiao Xie said heartily: No, something is not good...

The next moment, Yan Heng choked up his voice suddenly: "You bastard! Do you think I really don't love you? Seeing you cry is more painful than crying myself! You have lost your father since you were young, and I Pulled you up with one hand, you treat me like a big brother, but I treat you like my own son! They say father love is like a mountain, if I don’t treat you harshly, you are already stubborn, if you grow crooked, how can I treat your mother Please tell me!"

Yan Heng choked and covered his eyes. Hearing what he said, everyone turned their heads and looked at Xiao Xie reproachfully, as if to say, "This kid! Why are you so ignorant, you don't understand brother's painstaking efforts at all!"

Xiao Xie: "..." Damn it, I was taken advantage of.Saying "I am your father" so fresh and refined, is worthy of being the landlord of the twelfth floor Yan Shao.lost.

The corners of Yan Heng's mouth, which was hidden under his sleeve, also curled up, and he stuck out his tongue at him, mouthing "good son".

Xiao Xie's forehead twitched, and he replied with his lips: "Yan Fanghan, just wait."
