Chapter 10 Fierce Rain Meets Fierce Enemies on the Streets
Dense rain poured down from the sky, obviously it was already autumn, but the weather did not turn cool, the air pressure was extremely low, and the tide was unbearable.
Soon after Ai Li and Wulian left the official boat, they caught up with the heavy rain, but fortunately there was a tea shed on the side of the road, and the two hurriedly ran in to avoid the rain. Ai Li asked for a pot of flower tea, but there was nothing to eat in the mountains, so he asked for a few sweet cakes as snacks. Ai Li drank tea and enjoyed the rain, and Wulian was busy eating sweet cakes on the side, but she also had a feeling of being busy and idle.
The road was already empty, and it was a mountain path, so people would walk in the rain unless there was an emergency.
There were exceptions, however, and the two sat for a while, when a sumptuous black-lacquered carriage passed the mountain road in front of them in the rain.
In the position of the coachman, there seemed to be someone, but there was no one, and it was not clear in the rainstorm, as if an illusory shadow was driving.
Through the window of the carriage, a middle-aged man in a brocade dress was holding a young woman in a flowery shirt, bowing his head and whispering.
Inadvertently, the man in Chinese clothes glanced out of the window, and couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh".
The young woman beside him raised her head from his shoulder, revealing a very gorgeous face, and asked coquettishly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The surprise in the eyes of the man in the Chinese costume had not yet dissipated, and he said with a little confusion: "I seem to have seen an acquaintance in the tea shed just now. ”
The young woman's jade fingers gently stroked his chest and said, "Won't it?" How could there be someone you know in this poor country. ”
The man in the Chinese costume thought for a moment, chuckled, and said, "I saw it wrong." That person should have died. ”
"Allow me to confirm it for you!" Suddenly the words of the shadow coachman came from the window, his voice low and piercing, but it overpowered the sound of the heavy rain.
The look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in the fancy costume again, he paused for a moment, and said slowly: "Since you want to go, let's go and take a look." ”
The young woman said to the shadow coachman in displeasure, "Do you want us to wait for you in this wilderness?" ”
The shrill voice of the shadow coachman came from outside the car window, "No, I'll send the adults to the place first, and then come back to inspect them." ”
At noon, the sun is shining. The streets of Wenye City are full of cars and horses, and the restaurants are noisy.
In a corner of the restaurant, Ai Li and Wu Lian were ordering food. They came to the town and bought horses and some travel goods.
As I was eating, I heard someone at the counter asking the proprietress what she was doing, "Have you ever seen a tall girl passing by with a little monk?" ”
Ai Li looked up and saw that it was the haunting Zhan Feipeng!
Ai Li frowned: Tsk, this Zhan Feipeng is really sticky! This was the third time they had encountered him since they had come ashore.
The first time was the afternoon before yesterday, when they came to the city to buy horses after they went ashore, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shouting that the demon girl and the demon monk came to them, but fortunately the horses had been bought, and Ai Li and Wulian hurriedly got on their horses and fled. The second time was yesterday at noon, when they were shopping for supplies on the street, he appeared in front of them in a ghostly manner, so that Ai Li didn't even bother to look for money, so he pulled Wulian on the horse and left. Unexpectedly, they just sat down to eat today, and this sticky spirit came up again!
Ai Li winked at Wu Lian, and the two quietly slipped through the side door of the hotel.
It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that Ai Li agreed to Cangshi to kill the tyrannosaurus, if he is glued by Zhan Feipeng, he doesn't know when he will be able to get out. Besides, this Zhan Feipeng's martial arts are extraordinary, and his brute strength is too great, if it weren't for the last resort, Ai Li really didn't want to provoke him, and the injury came second, and it would be worth the loss if he delayed the business. Ai was holding back her anger and secretly swore that when Cangshi's matter was over, she would definitely find Zhan Feipeng to compete!
On the counter, the proprietress pointed to Ai Li, who had just left, and said to Zhan Feipeng: "Are you asking them?" ”
As soon as Zhan Feipeng turned around, he saw Ai Li and Wu Lian walking out of the store, and he roared, "Demon girl Ai Li, don't run!" As he spoke, he strode after the meteor.
Ai Li looked around, he was in the middle of the city, and now it was lunch time, and he was yelled at by Zhan Feipeng, and many people were rushing to watch the excitement at once, and the road was surrounded by water. She stood still and turned around, and said impatiently: "Zhan Feipeng, are you endless?" I've been avoiding you like this, why are you always chasing me? ”
When the onlookers heard her say this, they immediately became interested, pointed at them, and talked about it. This said, looking at this little lady so beautiful, doesn't that thick man want to chase her as a daughter-in-law? That one said, that big man is too fierce, no wonder other girls don't look down on him!
After hearing this, Zhan Feipeng's face turned red, and he said angrily: "I'm not chasing you, I'm chasing your knife!" ”
Ai Li frowned, had an idea, and deliberately said, "Do you want to fight again?" But I just won't fight you! With that, she pulled up Wulian, turned her back and slowly walked out of the crowd, and said as she walked: "If you have the ability, cut my back." Look at you, you're so embarrassed to attack a woman from behind. ”
When the crowd heard that there was going to be a fight, they retreated to both sides to make way for her.
Seeing this situation, Wu Lian's eyes flashed, and she said, "Sister Ai, you will compete with him!" Didn't you win against him last time? ”
Ai Li said: "There is no bounty to take, why do you do that wasted effort!" ”
The two walked out of the crowd as they spoke, and Zhan Feipeng watched their backs, not chasing, not chasing. Ai Li walked for a long time before he realized the taste, and roared angrily: "No! I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for you for a knife! ”
The weather was very strange, it was still empty at noon, and it rained again at dusk. Ai Li and Wu Lian have left the city and are hiding in a small abandoned temple to avoid the rain.
The rain gradually became lighter, Ai Li looked at the thick clouds in the sky, and said: "This rain can't stop for a while, while the rain is light, let's set off, hurry up, we should be able to reach the next city before dark." ”
Wulian nodded obediently. The two put on their robes and hats, and braved the rain to move forward.
The rain is sometimes heavy and sometimes small, and finally it becomes a filament, but it still flows non-stop.
As it grew dark, Wu Lian rode on her horse and looked in all directions, and this was a wasteland, and several graves appeared every once in a while. On the empty earth, there were only two of them, and the sky was gloomy, as if it would press on people at any time.
Wu Lian shouted to Ai Li in front of her with a frightened face: "Sister Ai, you wait for me." Don't you think it's a little scary here? ”
Ai Li was in front of the horse and looked back at him strangely, "What's so scary?" ”
Wulian swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice, "It seems that something bad will appear." ”
"What's bad?" Ai Li asked in confusion, seeing his expression, he immediately understood, and laughed loudly: "I used to walk this kind of road before, and I have never met ghosts. Seriously, I'd love to meet a few insights! ”
Her laughter pierced the gloomy rain and fog like a ray of sunlight into Wulian's heart, and he perked up and urged the horse to walk side by side with her.
After a journey, you can see the city in front of you in the distance. Wu Lian played with her heart and said to Ai Li, "Sister Ai, let's compete and see who arrives first!" As he spoke, he galloped without waiting for Ai Li's answer.
Ai Li smiled, and Tima caught up.
Closer and closer to the city, the city gate in front is faintly visible. Wu Lian was overjoyed in her heart, and suddenly, the horse under his seat let out a sloppy exclamation, and stopped moving, as if sensing some danger ahead.
A ghostly shadow emerged from the rain and mist, floating a foot away in front of him, a ghostly green firelight flickering behind him.
"There are ghosts!" Wu Lian let out a low scream, and her face turned pale in an instant.
"No, this person is a martial arts master." Ai Li's eyes were solemn, and he urged him to step forward, blocking in front of Wulian.
The fine rain with green light blew in his face, which made Ai Li suddenly feel cold, this person is so murderous!
The other party was tall and thin, and his face could not be seen clearly in the rain and fog, but a pair of cruel eyes emitted a ghostly green light.
Ai Li's lips pursed tightly, and her right hand slowly raised, holding the Red Flame Farewell Knife behind her back.
The man confronted Ai Li for a moment in the rain and mist, and then slowly disappeared into the gray rain and mist.
Ai Li exhaled, and found that in a moment, the palm of his hand holding the knife was already sweating.
What is the origin of this mysterious man? Could it be that Zhan Feipeng is looking for someone again?
Ai Li gritted his teeth and said: "Zhan Feipeng's guy is really annoying, always looking for so much trouble!" ”
Ai Li pondered, but didn't notice that Wu Lian's eyes flickered behind her, which was a complex light of hatred and fear. Wulian was silent, slowly following behind her.
By the time they entered the city, it was completely dark. The rain gradually stopped.
Walking on the streets of the city, Wulian hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Sister Ai, I have to tell you something!" ”
Ai Li heard that he said solemnly, so he stopped and listened intently.
Wu Lian hung her head and said, "That person came to arrest me just now." ”
Ai Li said: "Sure enough, it's someone from Zhenguo Temple!" ”
Wulian said: "No, it has nothing to do with Zhenguo Temple, he is my former enemy." ”
Ai Li asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wu Lian said hatefully: "That man and several others slaughtered my entire clan, and I was the only one who was saved by Cangshi. In order to avoid the pursuers, I pretended to be a monk, but I was not really a monk. He should have come to arrest me when he showed up today. ”
Ai Li listened quietly. Wu Lian secretly looked at her, "Sister Ai, I lied to you, are you angry?" ”
Ai Li thought for a while, and said with a calm face: "I see! I've long thought you weren't like a monk. ”
Seeing that she was not angry, Wulian breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Actually, I really want to be a monk, and my whole clan is dead." It's not interesting for me to live alone in the world. ”
"You? Forget it. Ai Li looked at him with disdain, "I love to cry, I am delicious and I can't endure hardship, just a person like you wants to be a monk, and it is too embarrassing for a monk!" It's still not properly good. ”
"Sister Ai, don't say that!" Wu Lian's face was flushed with anger, and she shouted unrelentingly.
