Xia Houshu felt as if her heartbeat had skipped a beat. She was actually a bit playful when she forced the man in purple to ask for repayment, and she didn't expect to get a positive answer.
He was so unruly and cold, and she was curious about how she would react.
But the man in purple seemed to be serious when he asked this question, and looked at her expectantly, as if he would not give up until he got an answer.
What is going on? The frosty man in purple suddenly changed his gender?
The mountain breeze was blowing gently, and there was a hint of blood in the heat. It was not the time to be distracted. Moreover, it was actually very embarrassing to be stared at by a strange man at such a close distance. Xia Houshu suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
Her body instinctively leaned back, and happened to hit a bamboo behind her, causing her to tremble in pain.
She suddenly realized that she was the one who should take the dominant position. This action made her feel guilty.
As the saying goes, a loser never loses. It was rare for the other party to accept her words, with some provocation and unclear meaning. She must not be cowardly at this time. She secretly gritted her teeth and quickly adjusted her body back.
The original arc was to look directly at the other person.
Isn’t it just looking at each other? Who is afraid of whom!
The wind blows through the bamboo forest, and the ups and downs of the bamboo forest depict the shape of the wind. A beam of skylight shines in from the cracks in the swaying bamboos, and falls on the face of the man in purple. His exquisite facial features and outlines are outlined in light and dark.
Only then did Xia Houshu realize that although the man in front of him was aloof, taciturn, mood-changing, and even a little unclear about the situation, he had a good skin.
A smooth and white face, even in the dusk, his delicate and sharp-edged features can still be seen, with clear-cut edges and coldness everywhere. His deep black eyes are like the vast night, twinkling with stars; and like
It's a deep, cold lake with rippling waves, but if you explore it carefully, you can't see clearly what's hidden inside.
Humans are creatures full of curiosity. The more clearly they cannot see or understand, the more they want to explore.
Xia Houshu stared at the other person without blinking, trying hard to find out his secrets from every nuance of his expression.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, even the wind became quiet, and the chaos around him gradually escaped into another world.
Only they stared at each other and tried to see through each other.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Faced with such a face that has a clear personality and does not give anyone any impression of rudeness except coldness and alienation, Xia Houshu couldn't find any words to describe his different appearance for a while.
Ordinary beauty is like the male protagonist in a play, but in his mind, the scene about repaying a favor in the play was inappropriately recalled.
I heard that Jianghu people attach great importance to love and justice, and pay attention to repaying kindness, especially this kind of life-saving kindness that is like re-creation. As long as it does not violate the principle of chivalry, the beneficiaries will basically respond to their requests, even if they are asked to hand over their lives.
Xia Houshu didn't really want him to retaliate with his life, but he just felt that the plot in the play was too illusory and it would be better to listen to the real situation. After all, human nature is the most unpredictable.
Especially a man like the one in front of me who has his eyes above his head and is arrogant about everything.
Will he appreciate it? Does he know how to be grateful? If so, how will he express his gratitude?
She thought seriously for a while, then suddenly showed a bad smile and boldly joked: "Why don't you pledge yourself to me?"
These words are a bit sinister and are words that no serious girl would say.
Xia Houshu originally thought that the man in purple would be surprised, angry, or even angry, and severely reprimanded and ridiculed her for being shameless and obscene. But instead of feeling offended, he smiled even more brilliantly, stared at Xia Houshu, and asked softly:
"Can this be taken seriously?"
Sure enough, fake gangsters are worse than real gangsters, and fake gangsters still have to surrender when they see real gangsters.
Xia Houshu took a deep breath and sighed, quickly waved his hands and said with a fake smile: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
But the man in purple didn't give up, and continued to study hard and asked: "Don't you want me to repay your kindness?"
"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning!" Xia Houshu quickly shook his head like a rattle, trying his best to show his selflessness and generosity. Not to mention that she is not such an unprincipled person, but she was attacked by the man in purple who had no power to restrain a chicken.
She didn't dare to have anything to do with him because he had a devilish physique that was being hunted by so many killers!
What's more, there is a cold-faced god beside him who has "Miracle is unparalleled in the world, keep away from strangers" written all over his face.
Such a person could easily cause trouble just by standing there, and she was definitely not someone she, a female member of an official family, should have contact with.
"Have you not thought about it, girl, or don't you want her?" The man in purple asked relentlessly, his expression becoming very sincere, which was completely opposite to his indifferent temperament just now.
Why does this sound weird?
"Is there any difference?" Xia Houshu frowned slightly, wondering how this person could be such a mother-in-law, going around and around one thing without ever finishing it.
How old are you? It’s just a joke, right?
However, under the gaze of the other party's increasingly hot eyes, in front of this strange man who suddenly became amiable, she was a little at a loss, and even less understood the other party's intentions. She vaguely felt that behind the other party's sincere face, there was more
It was testing and teasing. This made her very unhappy.
The shame, anger and annoyance of being teased instead of being teased made her face burn as if it was on fire.
"Of course there is a difference." The man in purple said seriously, "It's one thing to want but haven't decided what you want yet, but it's another thing not to want it. If you haven't thought about it yet, I can give you time.
Think about it slowly. But if you don’t want to ask for this favor at all, then I..."
"Wait!" Xia Houshu was confused and interrupted him. What do you mean by giving her time to think? Does he really want to repay her kindness? That's not necessary. After all, she has a special status.
, she is another woman who should stay in her boudoir. Even though he has a face that she never tires of seeing, she does not plan to see him again in the future. Moreover, she got involved in this dispute by mistake, and what’s more,
Want to protect yourself.
"Master——"
Before Xia Houshu could think of a reason to fool him, an annoying voice came from behind him, interrupting the already unsustainable conversation between them.
Even so, Xia Houshu still did not give up the topic. Applying the logic of the man in purple, it was one thing for her to take the initiative to end the topic, but it was another thing for her to be rudely interrupted by others.
She turned around and stared at the man in green, wishing she could dig two holes in his body.
How come a good man has a mouth?
At this moment, the man in green had already dealt with the remaining men in black. He put away his sword and strode towards them with majestic steps, like a general who had returned victoriously from a massacre. However, he did not seem to realize that he had ruined the fun of others.
, even completely ignoring the knives flying out of Xia Houshu's eyes, he walked straight towards the man in purple without squinting, bowed his hands respectfully, and asked with concern: "Sir, is there something serious wrong with your hand?"
It seemed that the two were indeed master and servant, Xia Houshu nodded secretly to confirm.
I just don’t know whose heirs they are in this capital full of nobles. In Xia Houshu’s impression, there are no children of aristocratic families with similar age, temperament, and means in the capital. If there were, I’m afraid they would have been there long ago.
His reputation has spread far and wide. There's no reason why she doesn't know about it.
And these two people do have accents from Beijing. Even if they are not from Beijing, they must have lived in Beijing for many years.
Could it be that they are not the children of aristocratic families, but people from all walks of life who have lived in the capital for many years?
Xia Houshu had to continue searching in his memory for celebrities and strangers who matched him in all aspects, but found nothing.
It seems that Xia Houyi needs help for this matter.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about." The man in purple said calmly, and his expression was calm. He suddenly returned to the way he was when they first met, as if nothing had happened just now, and it was just a scratch on his hand, which was nothing to worry about.
But Xia Houshu clearly saw that the color of the torn clothes on his arm was darker.
Such endurance and perseverance are surprising.
Xia Houshu was just thinking about what to say when he saw the man in purple's eyes fall on her arm again, then he raised his head and signaled to the man in green: "This girl is injured, she looks serious, please give her the medicine first."
.”
"This..." The man in green was stunned, holding the medicine bottle tightly and looking very reluctant. Then he glanced at Xia Houshu in an extremely unfriendly manner, with the same vigilance and caution as the man in purple before, without any regard for human feelings.
He said: "This girl is acting suspiciously. Master, please don't believe her easily."
Typical Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf!
Xia Houshu felt as if someone had slapped him on the head, and his head went blank with a buzzing sound. What does it mean that she is acting suspiciously and should not be trusted?
Could their tacit understanding of joining hands to fight against the enemy just now be an act? And the injury on her arm, could it also be fake?
I thought she was playing a trick!
Who does he think they are? Does he really think he is a piece of cake?
Xia Houshu finally understood what it means to fall out of love faster than turning the page in a book. The remaining admiration for the man in Tsing Yi's martial arts skills disappeared in an instant, leaving only shock and anger.
Sure enough, you can't eat randomly, you can't talk nonsense, and you can't help people randomly. No one can guarantee whether the person you are helping is a white-eyed wolf. Moreover, this white-eyed wolf may bite you back.
"Give her the medicine." The man in purple said again, "Quan should thank her for her kind help."
Xia Houshu looked at the two men who suddenly became strangers in front of him in shock, thinking that these two masters and servants are really a perfect match. One is the evil star, the other is cold-faced, both of them look unattainable, and of course they are.
They looked like they were dead. When they fought side by side just now, their master and servant did not react like this. What to do? Cross the river and burn the bridge? Climb the tree and pull out the ladder? Remove the mill and kill the donkey? The rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked?
Xia Houshu thought of almost all the words to describe ungratefulness, especially hatred.
"No need!" Xia Houshu said angrily. She originally had no expectations for the unidentified master and servant, but thinking that she was doing a thankless job, she still felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't swallow this easily. Even if she usually
When I go out and see people begging on the street, I can get a sincere thank you for just passing a few coins. Why am I still being treated as a thief when I save other people's lives?
The man in purple didn't seem to hear her rejection. He just lowered his eyes and looked at her beautiful and stubborn face, and said warmly: "I saw that the wound on your hand is not shallow. This is the best gold medicine for you.
It’s good for wound recovery.”
Want to get rid of her with a bottle of medicine of unknown origin? Bah! Who are you looking down on?
Xia Houshu snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "I don't dare to use your things casually. Who knows if they are mixed with poison?"
The man in purple raised his lips slightly, stood up without saying a word, and looked at Xia Houshu condescendingly, as if she was the one who was narrow-minded, unreasonable and unreasonable.
The atmosphere was a bit subtle, as if even the air had become tense.
Xia Houshu thought about the methods of the man in green, and unconsciously glanced at the corpses lying scattered not far away, then looked up at the man in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder, these two people were not going to kill her to silence her, right?
It's dark and windy here at night, and it's remote and uninhabited. Isn't it a good place to silence someone?
There were so many killers with strong martial arts skills in the past, but it only took some effort for him to deal with them now that he had less worries, let alone a little girl whose martial arts skills were not one-third as good as his own.
It's too easy to shut her up.
The man in purple looked quietly at the woman in red in front of him, and when he saw her clenching the dagger in her hand and adjusting her whole body to a defensive posture, he suddenly smiled. He didn't expect that this woman was showing off her teeth and claws just now, pretending to be fearless.
The little girl actually showed such an expression.
But then I thought about it, no matter how courageous she was, she was just a young girl. Seeing them killing so many people, it would be even more strange that she wasn't afraid.
Then he took a white medicine bottle from the man in green clothes next to him, squatted down and stuffed it into Xia Houshu's hand, and said softly: "Remember to treat it carefully when you go back. Girl, it's better not to leave any scars on your body."
As soon as these words came out, not only Xia Houshu, but also the man in Tsing Yi behind him was stunned for a moment. Just as the man in Tsing Yi was about to say something to stop him, the man in purple stopped him with a wave of his hand, so he could only stare at Xia Houshu and stop talking.
Xia Houshu felt that the man in Tsing Yi's eyes looked at her as cold as icicles in the cold winter months.
The man in purple stood up slowly, looked around, said nothing more, then turned around and left without looking back.
When Xia Houshu finally came to his senses, he realized that their master and servant had gone a long way.
"Who exactly are you?"
Xia Houshu ignored the injury on her arm and suddenly jumped up and shouted several times towards the place where they disappeared. However, the only response she received was the cool evening breeze.
The bell of Unitary Time rang at this moment, and Xia Houshu noticed that fog had arisen in the mountains at some point. The vast twilight almost enveloped the entire Canaan Mountains. The bamboo forest that had been lively just now suddenly fell into silence, and the pungent bloody smell
The smell spread wantonly in the air, making it look even more eerie and terrifying, and even the pain from the wound was particularly clear.
It is not advisable to stay in a place of right and wrong for a long time. Xia Houshu covered his wound and walked a little further before stopping in a dense bamboo forest.
She endured the pain and took off the clothes on her left shoulder, then used a dagger to cut a piece of cloth from the close-fitting skirt, bit one end with her teeth, and then simply tied it with her right hand.
The bleeding stopped temporarily. She breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeves. After taking a short rest, she took the scroll and walked down the mountain along the original path. This chapter has been completed!
