However, the girl's silence also showed that she had no complaints about her father's sudden decision to entrust her to such a strange man.
Even if he complains, he must understand his father's actions, right?
What this middle-aged man did was completely helpless.
She must have been informed in advance, that's why she behaved like this
Now, a girl who is only eleven years old and about the same age as Xiao Ping'er can actually get engaged and start talking about marriage in such a remote villa.
However, when the head of the Nine Blades Hall came to Huoshu Village, the first time he saw her, he flashed a perverted smile, and then spoke to everyone in the village.
No one is allowed to marry this girl!
Anyone who dares to marry will face the revenge of Jiu Dao Tang!
The villagers were naturally trembling.
Even those gangsters who originally harbored evil thoughts about the girl had no choice but to give up and begin to please the bandits of the Nine Sword Hall.
And this girl may have known her fate in this life from the very beginning.
Either, simply die, or, humiliately marry the head of the Nine Swords Hall, and finally suffer all kinds of pain until he dies.
What a joke, if you marry a bandit, can the head of Jiu Dao Tang really be able to speak?
In the end, she ended up in a stronghold. I'm afraid there wasn't just one head of the Nine Swords Hall who coveted her, right?
Is it the leader of the Nine Blades Hall or even some other bandits?
Then what?
What about her?
Sleep with this one tonight and sleep with that one tomorrow night?
Suffering all humiliation?
At a young age, especially since she was used to many bad habits in closed mountain villages, she had long been aware of some nasty things.
In such remote and poor villages, it is common for brothers to share their wives.
The only thing that makes her feel lucky is that she has parents who love her very much.
So her parents did their best to protect her, even if life and death were right in front of them.
Moreover, she is now following this young man in green shirt, and her ending is comparable to that of the one who was forcibly captured by the head of Jiu Dao Hall on the first day, and then hung on the tree next to the west cliff with his body naked and scarred the next day.
The girls I fell in love with are so much better.
At least this big brother in green shirt is, well, very clean.
She was so sensitive that she didn't feel any evil thoughts in him.
However, after all, you know people and faces, but you don’t know the heart.
So now that her father said there was a turn for the better, in fact, in her opinion, it was nothing more than a better outcome than the original one?
At least this dog-like scholar, even if he disliked her halfway, would only hit and scold her at most, and then cooperate with his orders, so he should not beat her to death cruelly.
Thinking about it this way, it's actually not unacceptable.
A few mountains away, there is a village called Mingyue Village. The people there are very nice.
This is what her father told her.
In other words, as long as he survives this difficult journey, he will have a chance to escape.
Thinking of this, the girl with empty eyes suddenly gained a look of hope.
Xi Zhong kept holding the horse,
After bypassing the villa, the middle-aged man stopped following me.
And now the road is starting to get thorny.
Xi Zhong was silent and kept walking.
The girl on horseback is originally silent, so that's why.
After going around a mountain, we arrived at a remote shaded area.
It was afternoon, close to dusk.
Xi Zhong stopped.
The girl slowly put her hands on her chest to protect her.
Is this big brother in green shirt so impatient to reveal his true face?
Isn't this too fast?
She smiled bitterly inwardly.
I saw this young man in green shirt with a very clean face turning around and saying with a smile: "Can you wait for me here? Brother, I have something to do. I will be back when I'm done."
Xi Zhong's words shocked the girl.
Could it be that he wanted to abandon her in this barren mountain and let her die in the mouth of a mountain beast?
This won't work.
She would rather be stabbed to death or commit suicide than die in such a horrific way.
In the final analysis, no matter how precocious she is and how sensitive her heart is, she is still an eleven-year-old child after all.
She is still very afraid of scary things.
So she shook her head frantically, gritting her teeth suddenly without caring that she was still on the horse, and then pointed her head directly to the ground, trying to snatch the ground from such a tall horse with her head.
Seeing this, Xi Zhong had no choice but to take a step forward and instantly reached the place where she landed, then gently caught her.
But just as he let go, the girl started to move again.
She gritted her teeth, a look of determination appeared on her face, and hit her head directly towards the sharp boulder next to the shade of the tree.
Her eyes were desperate.
A direct collision to death does not seem to be unacceptable.
It's better than being eaten by those scary jackals, tigers and leopards.
She closed her eyes.
But next, I didn't feel the pain of having my head cut open.
All she felt was a wide, slender, warm hand gently supporting her head.
Then the broad and slender hand gently turned her over.
The girl opened her eyes, her face full of confusion.
She didn't understand, since the big brother in green shirt was about to abandon her, why didn't he leave? Instead, he reached out to catch her?
This doesn't make sense.
When Xi Zhong saw the girl's puzzled expression, he just smiled helplessly.
Where is this going?
Why did you suddenly start committing suicide?
Why do ordinary people these days always think about how to die whenever they get a chance?
This actually made Xi Zhong feel a lot more alert.
in the future.
He may reach the top of the human world.
He may even dominate a world.
He cannot make all places in this world of cultivators live in harmony.
However, in the world controlled by Xi Zhong, everything is decided by Xi Zhong!
He vowed to build a world with "rules".
Only with rules can we form a square and a circle.
Xi Zhong patted the girl's cheek gently, then asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly want to commit suicide silently?"
"I……"
The girl glanced at Xi Zhong's eyes and was speechless.
It's really too stressful.
She also couldn't understand what Xi Zhong was thinking about now.
Should he abandon her or kill her?
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "I think you may have misunderstood. I really need to leave for something. You just need to wait here for a while."
When the girl heard this, her expression suddenly became tense.
Xi Zhong asked again: "What's wrong?"
But the girl asked sharply: "Where are you going?"
In fact, the girl felt very embarrassed about herself.
Just now I was thinking about how to decide how to commit suicide.
But after being touched by the warm hand of the big brother in green shirt, I found that I couldn't keep my vigilance at all. It was simply embarrassing! It was so embarrassing!
But as soon as she saw the clear eyes of the young man in green shirt and the warm and generous hand on her face earlier, she became a little panicked.
Xi Zhong thought for a while and just explained: "Isn't your father going to be killed by the bandits of Jiudaotang tomorrow?"
When the girl heard this, her expression of despair returned to her face.
Xi Zhong was helpless.
Well, with my mouth, I don’t seem to be very good at talking.
But Xi Zhong still said: "So, I plan to go and help your father. It won't take long, it only takes half an hour. You just need to wait here and help me look after this horse. This horse
The horse is my treasure. If I don't let you watch it here, I'm afraid that my horse will really get lost, and I will feel uncomfortable then. Besides, I spent a hundred dollars on this horse.
There are two pieces of silver!"
When the girl heard this, she was shocked again.
One hundred taels of silver.
She has never seen what silver looks like!
She had only seen what copper coins looked like before!
And this horse... is actually worth a hundred taels!?
This made her instantly cautious again.
She whispered: "This...let me take a look at it, okay? What if I lose it..."
Seeing the girl's pitiful expression, Xi Zhong rubbed his brows.
Reflected by the afterglow from the west, the girl's pale and thin beautiful face became even more charming.
Xi Zhong sighed inwardly.
No wonder those bandits were thinking about this girl.
But I really shouldn't waste my time on this matter.
Xi Zhong could only raise a very sunny smile and said: "Even if you lose it, I won't blame you, let alone punish you. Although the horse is important, is human life important?"
When the girl heard this, her cautious mind relaxed slightly.
She felt that what this brother said was strange, because in her village, it seemed that money was really better than human life, and horses were more precious than human life.
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "Okay, okay, so you can feel at ease. Just wait for me here obediently and don't leave even half a step away from here, okay?"
The girl could only nod obediently.
As for Xi Zhong, he casually set up a defensive spiritual formation, and then his figure disappeared instantly.
Only the horse, which was still grazing with its head down, and the shocked girl were left in the shade.
There are also pieces of yellow leaves falling down due to the breeze.
It's a huge difference from seeing the afterglow of the sunset pouring through the gaps in the leaves to now seeing the red mist on the horizon.
Xi Zhong raised his head and saw a plaque.
On the plaque, it says "Nine Swords Hall".
There are also huge knives hanging on the left and right sides of the plaque.
"Oh, that's quite impressive!" Xi Zhong couldn't help but joked to himself.
This Jiudaotang has quite a lot of cards, and it is even used on the plaques of official residences.
Generally speaking, this kind of plaque, which is wide on all sides and has dragon carvings on the edge, can only be used by officials.
If other people use it, it is exceeding the limit.
But it's not surprising. After all, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away. Even if you exceed the limit, it doesn't matter because the government can't find you here.
At this time, Xi Zhong raised his head, looked at the two bandit guards who had just discovered him, and said with a smile: "Okay, the show begins now."
