Chapter 159 Scene 21 It’s hard to escape the trap 2
Ning Yue took a few steps back, avoiding the encirclement of several sergeants in front of her. But after all, there was no eyes behind her, so she was quickly hugged by the other two people.
"I didn't expect that this little girl looks so skinny, but there is no lack of flesh where there should be, and she is quite soft!"
"Yes, the skin is white and tender, and it also has a light fragrance!"
The hands of the two sergeants began to roam around Ning Yue's body, with lustful looks on their faces. They smiled and tried to get the rope, tie up the girl and take her away, but suddenly they felt a sudden force coming from their own hands holding Ning Yue. There was a burst of severe pain, and then they both fell to the ground stiffly, as if they were poisoned. They kept twitching, and they could only cry and yell in their mouths:
"There's something weird about this little girl! It hurts me to death!"
"Useless things! Are the armors you are wearing just for decoration? Even if the other person's body is covered with thorns, it won't hurt like this! Let the others do it. Who can be the first to kill this little girl today? If she is captured, she will be rewarded to whomever she can spend the night with!"
The captain's face became a little ugly, as if he felt that he had lost face in front of the villagers, and ordered angrily. The sergeants in gold and white iron armor heard what the superior officer said, and they once again attacked the red-haired girl like hungry wolves. Past. However, Ning Yue did not hide anymore, but stood there motionless.
Among the burly sergeants, the thin girl seemed like a bird caught in a flock of vultures. However, the moment the sergeants were about to touch her body, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted from her body. !
The light was as fast as a thunderbolt and as bright as the sun. It was so dazzling that everyone present could hardly open their eyes. The sergeants seemed to have hit an invisible wall around Ning Yue and were violently bounced away. Wait for them When they got up again, they found that they had suffered serious burns. Even the armor all over their bodies had become hot, hissing and steaming out. For a while, they could not take it off, or even move it. It will cause unbearable pain.
"I'm warning you not to bully others too much! I will never show mercy next time!"
The red-haired girl frowned slightly and stared angrily. Her long hair spread unnaturally in all directions, as if she had a blazing flame on her head.
"The Great Sheng Dynasty has issued a decree prohibiting witchcraft and curses. How dare you, a witch, to use such harmful magic in public? I will execute you on the spot today!"
Although the captain's tone was tough, his face was full of fear. He did not dare to underestimate the girl in front of him. He was so determined to capture Ning Yue that he actually attacked him personally and gathered all his strength to take down the girl in his hand. The long knife struck down in the air!
However, he did not know what kind of power he was facing that was difficult for ordinary people to match. In the flash of lightning, the captain felt that the weapon in his hand was irresistibly deflected by an invisible hand, grazing The girl's skirt and hair swept past, but failed to hurt a single hair on the opponent's body. He immediately returned the knife and wanted to attack again, but was horrified to find that the weapon seemed to have been thrown into a forge, and in the blink of an eye it was fired from the inside. The outside turned red. He quickly let go and watched as it turned into a pool of hot molten iron on the ground.
But even so, the captain still refused to give up, and once again rushed towards the girl with his bare hands. He only heard a scream, as if he had been tortured by a cannon, and his whole body was instantly engulfed in a dazzling fire. Heartbreaking wails came from the flames, burning the captain's hands until they curled up. Then his arms were completely eroded by the melted armor, turning into twisted bones. In an instant, It turned into charred black powder, scattered everywhere with the beating tongues of fire, and disappeared into ashes.
"Witch! You cast a spell to kill the master!"
The injured sergeants around him were already scared to death. Although some of them still had the courage to curse loudly, no one dared to step forward easily. Tears in Ning Yue's eyes also welled up like broken beads. It came out and landed on the ground at its feet, making small craters one after another:
"Stop forcing me! I don't want to kill anyone anymore, so get out of here!"
The sergeants, like bereaved dogs, abandoned the cart full of food, mounted their horses and headed straight for Suoyang Pass. It was only then that the red-haired girl slowly knelt down on the ground, as if all her energy had been drained. The murderous light around him gradually dissipated into nothingness.
Killing someone for the first time in her life, Ning Yue felt a strong dizziness coming over her, her stomach churned, and she vomited out all the yellow rice porridge she had eaten before, feeling extremely embarrassed.
The peasant woman on the side was the first to rush forward and support her who was almost exhausted: "Girl, it's all the soldiers who are to blame. Don't blame yourself too much."
"I, I didn't expect that the power of Wu Lei Yu would be so great! I...I didn't want to kill him originally..." The girl turned her head and fell on the peasant woman's shoulder, sobbing, her words were so soft. Almost only you can hear it.
"Silly boy, if you didn't resist just now, would you just let yourself be captured by them? Today you drove away these evil people, and we have to thank you."
The old farmer broke free from his shackles and stood aside to persuade him, as if he were comforting his own child. But his voice was gradually obscured by the criticism of the surrounding villagers:
"You two old guys just thank her yourself, we are not in the same boat."
"That's right, this witch is simply a monster! Old Jintou, why did you bring this scourge back to the village? Now you and your wife can't even feed yourselves, so why are you coming back with more food to eat?"
"What's the use of talking about this now? This witch is just a pest and a broom star!"
"Yes, what used to be enough for every household to pay some grain to get by, has now resulted in human lives! The officers and soldiers in Suoyang Pass will never spare our village so easily now!"
"It would be better for you three to burn yourselves to death just now, so that we can take the corpses and plead guilty to the guard in person to save you the trouble..."
Faced with the abuse and censure from the villagers, Ning Yue cried harder and harder. The old farmer beside her couldn't bear it anymore and finally spoke up to express her grievances:
"You people know how to make sarcastic remarks! You know clearly that my family is in trouble, but when those officers and soldiers forced my husband and I to pay food, and even put the old man and me in shackles, except for this girl, did everyone in the village really want to help!"
"Old Jintou, isn't it unfair for you to say that?"
"Their family is not a good person! Have you forgotten that it was because of his family's affairs that they almost harmed the entire village?"
"If anyone dares to mention what happened back then, don't blame me for turning against the old man!"
The villager's words finally angered the old farmer. He suddenly changed his benevolent look and shouted aggressively. People seemed to be quite afraid of him. No one dared to say anything anymore, and they dispersed in anger. But they didn't know what they were talking about back then. What exactly does it mean?
The old farmer looked angrily in the direction of Suoyang Pass, and after a long time he murmured: "Maybe just now - we shouldn't have let those officers and soldiers leave alive..."
I don’t know whether he said these words to himself or to Ning Yue. Upon seeing this, the peasant woman immediately hugged the girl in her arms tighter and winked at her husband:
"Old man, what are you talking about?"
"The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with the soil. After all, this is not the first time this has happened..."
The old farmer sighed, turned around and went back to the house. When he came out again, there was a package made of linen in his hand, "Girl, there are some dry food and property here. Although it is not much, it is still a little thought for my husband and me. .Just take it and leave here as soon as possible."
"But if those officers and soldiers come again, what will you do?"
Ning Yue also understood that she had caused a big trouble, and actually regretted not being able to kill all those officers and soldiers before.
"Girl, we don't want to drive you away. It's just that you don't know how evil the soldiers in Suoyang Pass are. It's getting late now. You should quickly take advantage of the night and head northwest. Go as far as you can. Far."
The peasant woman forced the bundle into the girl's arms and pushed her back a few times. Ning Yue took a few steps forward in confusion, but suddenly stood still and shook her head vigorously:
"No, I can't drag you two down anymore. One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. If those officers and soldiers come to seek revenge again, but I run away alone, there's no telling what they will do!"
"We two old bones have lived enough, but you are still young. Besides, we are not related to you, so those officers and soldiers should not make it more difficult. After all, back then-"
When it came to the emotional part, the old woman couldn't help but mention the word "back then". Although she immediately stopped talking, the red-haired girl became more and more reluctant to leave after hearing this:
"Mother-in-law, can you tell me what exactly happened in those years that you are talking about? Why did the officers and soldiers, the villagers in the village, and even you yourself mention it repeatedly, but deliberately kept it vague?"
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, the peasant woman had no choice but to sigh and recount the old story: "Actually - in fact, our husband and wife had a son. It's just that he committed a capital crime and could only return in a hurry. After clearing the country road, we left the village that night and never came back after that..."
"Death penalty?" Ning Yue couldn't help but be surprised.
"Actually, this old man of mine also worked as an errand in Suoyang Pass when he was young. Therefore, he asked his son to follow him since he was a child and practice martial arts. My son is extremely talented and with his own skills, he became the leader of Emperor Yujing all the way. The sword guard is a sight to behold..."
"Old lady, it's better not to say anything..."
When the old farmer saw this, he wanted to stop him. However, the couple had never mentioned these words that had been held in their hearts for many years to a third person. Once the conversation was opened, it could no longer be closed:
"My son has been working as a minister in the palace for several years. I don't know where he met a group of people with unknown origins. He invites them to my home every now and then. He also often talks about doing something with these people that can change the world. Major events in the world. After all, you have seen that the world has already made it difficult for people to live..."
"Change - this world?" Ning Yue vaguely felt that she had heard these words somewhere.
"According to my son, the founding Emperor Baijiang hid a treasure in the Yujing Palace. Only a few people in the world knew about the existence of this treasure, let alone its power to change the world. So he and that group of people wanted to hide that treasure. The treasure was stolen and benefited all people in the world. The old man and his mother didn't believe it when they first heard about it, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that their son has had a chivalrous heart since he was a child and was definitely not some evil villain. Since he made such a decision , I must have thought deeply about it, so I didn’t ask any more questions.”
"Where are the people he met? What are they trying to steal from the palace?"
"I seem to have heard them talking about some kind of picture, but we have no way of confirming it, and we don't know who the other party is. We only saw that each of them had a fish tattooed on their backs." The old farmer replied without thinking. , it seems that what happened back then is still vivid in my mind.
"Is that tattoo a giant white whale?!"
Ning Yue was suddenly startled. Because the white whale pattern was the flag used by Xiang Baili and the others, she quickly asked.
"It is indeed a big white fish! At that time, both my husband and I advised our son not to take risks easily, but he still went there without hesitation. Although he succeeded in stealing the thing in the end, it also made him a wanted man in various vassal states. The first criminal was to attract officers and soldiers to set up dragnets at homes in the village, causing chaos."
"Then where did he go?" Ning Yue suddenly hoped in her heart that the old couple's son would never be arrested and imprisoned.
"I don't know if it was because I sensed an ambush at home, or because I was afraid of harming us. Since then, my son has never come home and doesn't want to meet us again. However, every year some people pass by this village and quietly stay in the backyard. We, as a couple, have always suspected that the other party was our unscrupulous son. But just six years ago, he suddenly stopped coming."
"Six years... ago...?!"
The girl was shocked again - six years ago, it was when she first met Jiang Yan. Today, she still occasionally dreams about the short sword inlaid with gems and the sword hidden in the sword, which almost makes her The ancient picture that died under the underground palace of human bones. And the reason why she ended up here was precisely because of that picture!
Ning Yue felt more and more that many of the things she experienced after landing on land seemed to be vaguely connected, so she asked again: "Does your son have any other characteristics?"
"My son was born different from others. He has six fingers on his right hand..." The peasant woman closed her eyes and recalled her son's appearance, as if he had never left.
However, the other party's answer made the girl's face change drastically. The mystery that had not been solved for many years became clear at this moment - the old couple in front of her actually once took in the general in Fangqiu. The parents of Yan Youlihu! And the ancient map left by the ancestors was probably stolen by Youlihu from the palace in Yujing!
The girl suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether she should continue to ask the other party about this matter. However, the old farmer and his wife had already seen some clues from her expression:
"Girl, have you seen our son?"
The girl nodded hesitantly, but then hurriedly shook her head: "But, the person I know is named You, and you are named Jin -"
"My son takes his mother's surname. Girl, you really know him! Where is my son now? How is he doing?"
"He - he is - fine now."
Ning Yue was a little reluctant to tell the other party the news that You Lihu was framed and died in a foreign land, and suddenly became hesitant. But she never lied, and the old farmer opposite had already guessed it when he saw the expression on his face. I got a rough idea:
"Girl, you can tell us the truth, is my son no longer in this world?"
"Don't get excited, please. Your son is a good man and an upright hero! Six years ago, it was he who saved a friend I care about, and that person saved my life several times..."
Ning Yue was afraid that the other party would not be able to accept this fact, so she quickly comforted her. However, the eyes of the old farmer couple in front of her did not reveal much sadness:
"Actually - we have long thought that our son is no longer alive. We have been teaching him to do good deeds since he was a child. You being able to come to us today may be what he wanted. But we don't know where he is buried now. We want to visit him one last time and bring him some of his favorite food."
Hearing what he said, the red-haired girl's nose suddenly became sore again, thinking of her mother and Granny Cen who had left her one after another. Once upon a time, they loved her as much as the old couple in front of them. However, she did not wait to continue talking. , but there was a burst of shouting and shouting from outside the house again, and it became chaotic and noisy.
It was the defenders from Cynomorium Pass who had returned! And this time, they actually came with more than a hundred people, and they put on a posture of fending off the enemy at the entrance of the village!
