Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 106: Never be too confident in yourself
For the tiger girl, the moonlight that night was hazy.
It was so dim that she couldn't anything else. She only saw the man in white walking through the crowd and coming in front of her.
In the fire and the flashing of swords, she looked into his eyes, just like she did in the sandstorm back then.
The difference was that this time she let go of the sword in her hand.
Then she felt her body lighten, as if she was being carried into the air by that person.
The wind blowing in her face was a little cold, but she closed her eyes in peace.
Because she knew that this time, he would take her away with him.
…
Li Si took the tiger girl for a long distance and only let her go when he could no longer see the fire behind them.
This girl was seriously injured.
Fortunately, he caught the spy from before and came over to take a look out of concern, otherwise, she would have died here today.
After taking a quick look at the wounds on Shu Hunu's body, Li Si did not hesitate too much. He directly helped her up, unbuttoned her coat, and prepared to bandage her wounds.
He was not a fussy person, and at a time like this, he didn't have time to care about so many things.
But when he took off the tiger girl's coat, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because there were too many scars on this girl's body.
There were more than a dozen scars on the back alone, both new and old, which really looked hideous and terrifying.
"It's ugly, isn't it?"
There was silence all around. The tiger girl sat with her back to Li Si, lowered her head, opened her eyes, and asked lightly with a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
She looked a little gloomy, because she knew that anyone who saw the scars on her back would be scared.
But she didn't know why, when she felt the hand on her back paused, she couldn't help but feel lonely.
But suddenly, she was patted on the head by a hand.
Then, she heard the person behind her say.
"Whether I think you're ugly or not is up to me to decide. I just think you're pretty. Is it your business?"
After saying that, the man turned and spoke again.
"Sit down, I'll bandage your wound."
She heard the sound of tearing cloth behind her, and then a pair of hands tied the cloth around her wounds.
The tiger girl sat there blankly for a while, and she felt her nose getting a little sour.
Then she couldn't bear it anymore, turned around, hugged Li Si's neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and cried loudly.
She cried very unpleasantly, her voice was very hoarse, and her short hair rubbed against Li Si's cheek and trembled as she cried.
Li Si was stunned for a moment, but in the end he did not push her away. He just let her cry, raised one hand, and patted her back gently without saying a word.
When she was abandoned in the desert by her parents, Shu Hu Nu did not cry; when she was sold as a sword slave, Shu Hu Nu did not cry; when her bones were broken by the housekeeper, Shu Hu Nu did not cry.
She never cried when her hair was cut, when she killed someone for the first time, or when she was whipped and punished.
But that night, she cried out all her grievances.
The night in the desert was cold, but her tears burned her cheeks and she couldn't stop crying.
…
The next morning, Li Si continued on his journey carrying Shu Hu Nu on his back. Her leg was injured and she could not get out of the ground, so they had to continue on their journey like this.
The tiger girl lay on Li Si's back with her arms around his neck, and she seemed to have no intention of letting go.
"Is there anywhere you can go?" Li Si asked her as they walked.
"No." The tiger girl just rested her head on Li Si's shoulder and answered softly. If you look closely, you will find that there is a relieved smile on her face.
"Is that so?" Li Si sighed, thought for a while, and said, "I do know a place where you can settle down temporarily. Are you willing to go?"
"Yeah." Without asking any other questions, the tiger girl responded softly, turned her head, sniffed the scent on Li Si's body, and hugged him tighter with her hands.
Without noticing the changes in the person behind him, Li Si quickened his pace.
He was still worried about any pursuers. After all, they were still in the territory of the Jin Dynasty, so it was always better to be careful.
…
Two months later, a middle-aged man came to Jinshan Temple in Jiangnan.
His name is Shu Huheng, a swordsman from the Jin Kingdom. He came here to kill people.
He wanted to kill a sword slave who escaped from him , and heard that someone brought her here, so he came.
That sword slave knew a lot of things that couldn't be told, so he came here in person. Last time he was careless and let someone take her away, but he definitely won't do that this time.
Because he is so skilled in martial arts, even in the Tang Kingdom, few people can be his match.
Shuhu held the sword horizontally, walked up the stone steps in front of the mountain gate, and came to the door of the temple.
This is a dilapidated temple, which is extremely small.
"snort."
Do you think you can hide here?
Shu Huheng snorted lightly and put his hand on the temple door.
People like them will never be able to escape in their lifetime.
But the next moment, the temple door opened by itself.
Shu Hu frowned, and before he could react to what was happening, a ring knife flew out from it.
"Bang!" There was a dull sound, and the sword flew past his body and stabbed into the ground behind him.
The blade cut off a lock of his hair, causing him to pause.
After a while, Shu Huheng put down his hand, glanced at the sword behind him, and narrowed his eyes.
He was about to move forward, but the next moment, he looked blankly in front of him.
In the temple, a vast internal energy rose up, as if a giant Buddha had risen from the ground and stood there with a thousand feet of golden light, dispersing the clouds and turning the sky blue, making him unable to even think of resisting.
"Donor, you have no right to interfere with the people and things in this temple."
In the empty door, a voice like a huge bell came, making his ears buzz.
At the same time, a force like the collapse of the sky and the earth pressed down on him.
Shuhu stood in front of the door in a daze. After a moment, he took half a step back and then ran down the mountain as if his life depended on it.
He ran in a panic and didn't even dare to look back.
He only remembered that one sentence: he had no control over the people and things in this temple.
A month later, Shu Huheng returned to the Kingdom of Jin. The next day, he fell seriously ill and the King of Jin came to see him in person.
The first thing Shu Huheng said when he met King Jin was that he could seek territory in Tang, but he must not go to Jiangnan.
