There were more and more children playing in the street, chasing wild cats, lining up to fight, or drooling at the candied haws on the street. The vendors did not want to pay attention to these wild children without an adult to guide them, and frowned at the increasingly intense heat in the sky.
, swinging his sleeves and fanning himself, checking from time to time to see if his candied haws had been roasted.
In recent days, the summer atmosphere has become more and more intense. Whether it is vendors, children, farmers, or rich ladies, dignitaries have all put on summer clothes, and the clothes on their bodies are getting less and less day by day.
People in every household were trying their best to reduce their clothes, but one person wrapped himself up tightly. His bloated clothes looked incompatible with his surroundings. It didn't look like he was spending summer, but instead he was spending winter.
A coarse cloth jacket, which seems to be a bit thicker than the usual winter cotton-padded jacket. I don’t know what the person wearing it thinks. Isn’t it a suffering? Countless people on the street stared at it with curiosity.
Look at the face of the strangely dressed man. Isn’t that Xia Shang or who else?
Today, Xia Shang is no longer as calm as before. He looks at the sky from time to time, looking at the scorching sun with a sad look on his face, then wipes his sweat and continues walking forward.
It's really hard to wear such thick clothes, but for the sake of your own life, you should grit your teeth and persevere.
…
Dongkou Street, the scattered houses cut the street into intricate alleys. The alleys are long and deep, but there are only less than ten feet apart. There are earthen walls and cobblestone roads everywhere. Logically speaking, there are very few
Some people come here. But the popularity here is not low, because there is a famous dog meat shop. It is not an exaggeration to say that the fragrance is ten miles away. The rich meat aroma is accompanied by the arrogance of dog meat. Large areas in the east district of the county are full of it.
Can smell it.
Especially for the people living in the east entrance, a bite of dog meat has long become an indispensable enjoyment in life.
However, not all the alleys around Dongkou Street are crowded with people. There are also many alleys that are relatively deserted and rarely visited by people.
A white coat, a white scarf, a long red tassel knife...
A masked woman whose face was covered by frost stood quietly on the wall beside the alley, looking motionless at the entrance of the alley. She had been waiting for a long time. A lush jujube tree behind her became a natural shield, and no one was there yet.
Discover.
Soon, Xia Shang appeared in the alley in a bloated suit.
He continued walking as if nothing had happened. As long as he walked through this long alley, he would not be far from the dog meat shop.
Following the scent of meat, Xia Shang couldn't help but gulp down his saliva. The scent was enough, but the key was the tangy flavor of dog meat, which was just right. That was the soul of a person who loves dog meat.
Gradually, there were unripe green dates falling beside my feet...
A gust of cool breeze blew across the face, making Xia Shang feel refreshed and his whole body trembled at the same time!
"coming!"
Xia Shang's heart sank, and he looked up subconsciously, only to see a white shadow falling from the sky, as if a soft leaf was weightless in the air, but a straight long knife was facing his heart, shining with cold light, and showing a murderous intent.
The surrounding temperature has dropped a lot.
He couldn't see clearly who it was, and he had no intention of stopping the sword. If Xia Shang had waited for half a second, he would have died unjustly!
At the critical moment, Xia Shang sat down in embarrassment, holding his hands on the ground, and dodged the sudden blow with an inelegant sleeping posture.
In an instant, he just watched the woman in white falling from the sky pass an inch past his head, and the steel knife tore off a bunch of his hair!
"Holy shit! Is this bitch serious?"
Xia Shang was so frightened that he didn't expect the other party to be so cruel. If he felt the murderous intention in the other party again, it was not fake!
A sense of crisis surged into his heart. Xia Shang did not dare to look back, so he turned over and ran towards the entrance of the alley.
After running a few steps, the cold breath came from behind again, and it was approaching him quickly.
This feeling was so obvious that Xia Shang knew that there was no way he could outrun him. When he turned around, his scalp went numb immediately!
The blade has reached his heart, and the distance is less than an inch!
"Does she want to avenge her personal revenge?"
Xia Shang broke out in a cold sweat. He could no longer care about any plans at this moment. He raised his left hand and was about to shake his sleeve! But he heard a soft sound of "dang".
The blade of the knife seemed to have been hit by a stone, and the woman's attack was instantly resolved.
At this time, Xia Shang was so frightened that he sat on the ground again, breathing heavily and wiping his sweat constantly, feeling that he was walking around in the hell gate.
The woman stopped attacking and looked around with a cold face: "Who!"
As soon as the words came out, another person appeared out of thin air, standing in front of Xia Shang, silent.
Seeing this person, Xia Shang was overjoyed: "Sir, why is it you?"
"Sir, I'm just passing by here. I happened to meet him and I just wanted to help him."
The other party said it easily, but Xia Shang knew in his heart that this guy must be spying on him secretly, and now he was finally led out.
Xia Shang pretended to be panicked: "Your Excellency, please kill this thief quickly! She, he, she...she wants to kill me! She is the woman who came to my house a few days ago. Now that she has recovered from her injury, she wants to come to me to seek revenge.
.”
The middle-aged man did not look back. He was not wearing a raincoat today and was dressed in brocade clothes. He looked calm and said in a calm tone: "Sir, you are kind to me. I naturally want to do this favor today."
After that, he turned to the woman in front of him and said calmly: "Girl, you are also quite capable. You can still recover after being hit by my poisonous handprint. There are quite a few miraculous skills in the Red Flower Society."
The woman's eyes were piercing, and she didn't even say anything. She circulated her true energy, and a white mist steamed around her body. She twisted the blade again, stepped forward, and her strange movement seemed to have a figure appearing out of thin air. One person instantly transformed into two people, and the attack was more fierce than before.
Twice as much!
Seeing this situation, even middle-aged people can't help but change their expressions. What kind of skill is this? It seems to be different from the previous fights!
However, although this body technique is wonderful, the sword technique and internal strength are two points weaker, and it is still far from posing a threat to himself!
The middle-aged man sneered and stepped forward. He didn't see the true energy leaving his body, but saw dust flying on the ground. The fallen dates on the ground were shaken by an invisible air pressure.
As a spectator, Xia Shang finally understood the definition of a master in ancient times.
Every impact, the collision of true energy and true energy is like the collision of two huge rocks. The pressure is so strong that people have to retreat. Let alone fighting, even the person who can stand next to the two of them is not an ordinary person.
Especially the middle-aged man, who fought against the blade with his bare hands, without dodging or dodging, and with his body of steel and iron bones, he seemed invulnerable!
Xia Shang was a little confused, thinking that this was the person he wanted to kill? Is this a human or a monster?
Even though I have made countless preparations, it is hard to say whether I can succeed when I see the situation in front of me.
In an instant, the middle-aged man and the woman in white were fighting Lily!
What puzzled the middle-aged man was that in just a few days, why did this woman's skill improve so much? How could she fight with herself to such an extent?
Although her sword skills and skills are not very good, her strange steps are unpredictable. Fighting with her is like one person fighting two people...
Xia Shang also saw the clues. He never thought that this helper was so powerful that he would not be inferior in the hands of a middle-aged man. It was just right! If He and the woman could help him kill him, he would save himself from all kinds of dangers later. (To be continued)
