C11 (1/2)
In the instant that Luo Yi's reminder, Xu Heng's eyes darkened, and quickly dodged the approaching dagger behind him. She even grabbed onto Luo Yi to prevent him from injuring Luo Yi because she could not stop herself for a moment.
He knew they were being followed.
Xu Heng glanced at the people who were sneakily following him and smirked. Then, he picked up a silver hairpin and placed it on top of Luo Yi's head.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the silver and hid it to the side.
Xu Heng threw some silver and pulled Luo Yi behind him to protect himself. Then, he suppressed his voice and asked: ”May I know who you are? But do you have a grudge against me? If it is not, then who sent it? ”
The people surrounding them looked at each other, but didn't answer his question. They silently attacked without giving them any time to react.
Luo Yi did not know any martial arts, so shshewas afraid that she would cause trouble for Xu Heng, so he resolutely followed Xu Heng's orders. He told herself to block the attack and run, taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, Luo Yi ran out of the encirclement.
Whether they were merchants or passersby, all of them fled the moment they saw that something was wrong. Therefore, other than the few of them, no other living beings could be found on the street.
She hid herself well, and it was as if those people could not see her at all. All of their energy was placed on Xu Heng, and each of their moves was more ruthless than the last, as if they wanted to kill him on the streets.
Luo Yi looked at it for a while and gradually felt that something was amiss.
Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
Xu Heng seemed to not be able to fend off these few people from the start, but when they were fighting, his entire body revealed the word ”struggle”, and he had suffered a lot of injuries, but they were not heavy, so he was not too worried, but … Luo Yi just felt that something was wrong.
She kept having the feeling that Xu Heng should not have been beaten up to the point that he did not even have the strength to fight back.
But having said that, she had never seen Xu Heng fight with other people before. The man could argue, but his words could change mountains and rivers. As a result, there were not many opportunities for him to make a move, the only thing that was related to him was the time when Xu Heng used his small movement technique.
However, there were many people in this world who only knew lightness skills and were not good at fighting, and it was probably because Xu Heng usually acted too confidently, that people mistook him for someone who was capable of anything.
Luo Yi's brain spun very quickly as she tried to think how much more likely it would be for her to be able to meet the Li Kingdom if Xu Heng were to die here today. Without waiting for her brain to give a specific answer, her body had already rushed out.
In the books she had read before, the main character would always howl when he pounced on her and used her as a shield. Not only did hitting the grass startle the snake, it often had the opposite effect, so she silently rushed over and blocked that blade for Xu Heng without making a sound.
When Xu Heng was young, he raised a little wolf cub.
The wolf cub was given to him by a farmer who had been his benefactor. At that time, his wife was very ill and his family really didn't have any money to help her treat her illness. Thus, he had no choice but to commit this act of robbery.
Although Xu Heng was young, the farmer could tell that he was dressed in top quality silk with a single glance. Thus, he hardened his heart and took advantage of the academy's school-day to secretly abduct. Originally, he did not expect this child to have that much silver on him. Just as he was thinking about how to send news to his family members, Xu Heng who had not spoken a word since he was kidnapped suddenly spoke: ”You want money?”
He blinked and looked at the farmer without fear or resentment.
It was like a lifeless rag doll. When looking at this world, one would not even have the slightest bit of emotion. However, he was clearly a living person with flesh and blood. Seeing that the farmer didn't say anything, he kindly repeated, ”Do you want money?”
The farmer recovered from the shock.
Actually, he did not need to care about such a child. However, for some reason, when he heard the tender voice of this person, he could not help but nod his head.
Seeing that, Xu Heng spoke again: You're going to let me go if I give you the money?
As he spoke, he took out a handful of silver from a secret pocket inside his clothes and handed it to him. ”Here.”
The farmer took the silver tael with trembling hands. Before he could react, he saw that the boy had already started moving out. He moved faster than he thought and reached out to grab the child.
This time, Xu Heng was stopped, and his face finally revealed a trace of panic.
Although he had followed his father around since he was young and he had some ability to recognize people, he was still a child after all. It was hard to avoid seeing things wrongly — he was able to calm down after seeing that the person was honest and honest. He only wanted money and no harm to others.
Xu Heng had always thought that this person was a schemer since he was young. He probably saw silver and was full of evil intentions, wanting to kill him to keep his mouth shut. His body stiffened for a moment. When he turned around, he saw that the farmer's face was still as honest as ever. The expression on his face was unpredictable. After a while, both of his knees bent and he kneeled down.
”Great kindness …”
He did not have any culture at all, and could not find anything to say to that. However, Xu Heng understood and waved him off, indicating that he did not need to worry about it.
Xu Heng's gaze wandered around the room, and finally stopped on a small creature in the corner of the room that was so thin that he could not tell what it was. He said: ”Then give it to me, just treat it as something I bought.”
