C21 An Innocent Person in Distress
The sound of sobbing and crying kept on coming. Meng Zian was a bit annoyed. Wasn't it obvious that this stupid woman was crying here, telling the hunters that someone was here?
Gritting her teeth, Meng Zixian walked out of the cave. Amongst the bushes outside the cave, the yellow dressed beauty Huai was kneeling on the ground. When she saw someone coming out, she was so frightened that she kept quiet.
After seeing that it was Meng Zixian, her tears became even more turbulent.
Seeing that her mouth was opened so wide it looked as if she was about to cry again, Meng Zixian quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth with her hand, then placed the tip of the arrow on her throat.
"If you don't want to die, then be quiet."
With her eyes wide open, beauty Huai looked at her and nodded her head with all her might as she endured the crying, her entire body twitching uncontrollably.
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Mencius released his grip.
Huai Mei wiped her eyes, turned her head, and shakily extended her index finger, pointing at a bush not far away. Her voice was extremely soft, "I killed a person .. "I didn't do it on purpose. I was afraid that he would kill me .."
Meng Zixian raised her eyebrows. "Oh? You can still kill people?"
Following her line of sight, there seemed to be a black shadow lying in the bushes.
"I was hiding here. When I saw him resting with an arrow in his hand, I used a rock to smash the back of his head. He .. "So he fell .."
As she spoke, she seemed to be on the verge of tears again, but she was also afraid of the arrow in Meng Zixian's hand, so she could only cover her mouth and try her best to hold it in.
It would be difficult for these women, who had never seen the world and lived in the palace, to experience life and death situations.
Meng Zixian reached out her hand and comforted Huai Beauty by patting her on the shoulder. "Don't make a sound, I'm going over to take a look."
Using a stone to hit the back of the head shouldn't be fatal. If the man woke up, it would be troublesome. She had to go and check.
The person who was hit in the head was lying face down, Meng Zian approached him with light steps.
She stretched out her foot to try and kick the man, but the man remained lying on the ground without moving an inch.
Holding his breath, Meng Zi bent down and approached the man. The arrow in his hand was ready to fire at any moment.
She reached out her hand and turned the man's body over. When she saw the man's face, Meng Zixian's expression changed drastically. Her eyes were filled with surprise.
Gu Jing City?
At this moment, Gu Jingcheng's eyes were tightly shut, and he had completely lost consciousness.
She reached out her hand to check his breath, and although it was a little weak, it still counted as within the normal range.
The person who had pointed an arrow at him with a face full of bravery in the morning was actually knocked unconscious by a woman without any force? Meng Zixian found it hard to believe.
"He .. Is he dead? " Seeing that Meng Zixian did not make a sound for a long time, she walked over shakily.
Meng Zixian shook her head. "No, I just fainted."
"Then let's quickly leave this place, otherwise if he wakes up it'll be bad, or else .." "Take advantage of this opportunity and use your arrows to kill him .."
Today, on the way back to escape, Huai Mei had seen quite a few headless female corpses, and their mental states had always been on the verge of collapse.
When she heard that the man wasn't dead, she panicked. Fear of death welled up in her heart, and her face contorted.
"He is a good man. In the morning, you let me go, and even led me to hide here. "
Meng Zixian turned around and showed the arrow in her hand to Huai Mei, "Look, this arrow is from the arrow quiver on his back. I met him. "
Suddenly, rain began to fall from the sky, and the rain fell onto their heads. Beauty Huai's fragile nerves tensed up, she held her breath and looked at Meng Zixian.
"Then what should we do .."
"He let me go so that he can walk in the martial arts world and repay me for my kindness."
"You know him?"
"He let me go when I first met him this morning, so he's not a bad person."
She was a female bandit in the martial arts world. It was not that she did not know how to repay favors and favors.
His two hands passed under Gu Jing Cheng's armpits and tried to lift him up, but Meng Zian's body was too small and thin. He tried to pull her a few times, but she could only barely move a little.
"Come over here and give me a hand." Meng Zixian turned his head and said to Duke Huai.
Drops of rain flowed down her hair and into her mouth. Beauty Huai raised her hand to wipe her face. Now, she finally knew what it meant to be a companion for a tiger.
He was like a lamb in the forest, running for his life. Outside, there were a group of jackals, tigers, and leopards. He was alone and had no help. To have Meng Zian as his companion would at least make her feel slightly better.
Taking a deep breath, Huai Mei walked over and helped Meng Zixian lift Gu Jingcheng's leg.
The two thin women spent half a day before they managed to drag the tall man into the cave.
Duke Huai sat on the ground in exhaustion and panted heavily.
Even though she was not from a noble family, she was still well-dressed and pampered. How could she have suffered like this before? After sitting on the ground for a while, his tears started streaming down his face like pearls with their strings cut off.
"If we hide here, will we be able to live until tomorrow morning?"
Even though she did not like women crying a little, she was feeling a little helpless right now.
"If you still cry and the hunters outside heard you, then you and I won't live past tomorrow morning."
Being warned by Meng Zixian like this, she covered her mouth aggrievedly, and obediently hid to the side, sobbing.
Meng Zixian's lips curled up. When this woman wasn't acting so arrogantly, she was actually a bit cute. At least, straight up, it was much better than those people who were full of twists and turns.
After wiping off some of the dirt on Gu Jing Cheng's face, Meng Zian placed him at the back of the cave.
Because of the rain, they were sitting in the cave, and it was hard not to feel some cold.
Huai beauty hugged her arms tightly and curled into a ball, as she stretched out her small head to look at Meng Zixian, "Sir beauty, do you have anything to eat .. I'm so hungry... "Cold and hungry .."
Meng Zixian looked at the shrubs growing outside of the cave.
Just as Meng Zixian was about to tell Huai Beauty to endure, she saw that on the stone wall behind her, a black snake was snaking its tongue and slowly crawling towards her.
Meng Zixian held her breath as she stared at the snake with narrowed eyes. She gripped the arrow tightly, and her throat couldn't help but move.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Meng Zixian's face filled with killing intent as she stared at her, she felt goosebumps all over her body. He frowned in displeasure and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Shh." Meng Zixian lifted a finger to her lips, her eyes still fixed on the snake.
Just as the snake was about to attack her, Meng Zixian took a swift step forward and pierced her arrow into the snake's body.
The tip of the arrow pierced right through three inches of the snake, and after the snake struggled crazily for a while, it still could not react. Fresh blood dripped onto the shoulder of the beauty, while the snake's body also collapsed onto the shoulder of the beauty.
He was quite frightened by Meng Zixian's sudden action and the strange sensation on his shoulder.
Huai Mei widened her eyes and looked at the arrow that was brushing across her face out of the corner of her eyes. When she saw the snake on her shoulder, she was so shocked that she did not dare to breathe, her entire heart rising to her throat as she almost fainted.
"Don't scream." Seeing the extremely terrified expression of the beauty Huai, Meng Zixian could not help but exhort again.
In actuality, she was so scared that she had already lost all sense of reason, and she couldn't even make a sound.
The arrow that pierced the snake was thrown to the ground by the Huai beauty. She opened her mouth but did not say anything, looking at the dead snake in front of her with a pair of black eyes filled with fear.
