Jiang Xuening felt that Xie Wei did not seem quite right.
She was just a joke, but after he answered like this, it seemed to add a bit of a heavy shadow. But on second thought, there was nothing wrong with it.
It's the truth after all.
Back then when she was taken back to the capital from Grange, Xie Wei went with her. The difference was that she just went home, but Xie Wei kept her name incognito and wanted to quietly enter the capital to help Shen Lang seize the heir.
Naturally, no one would go to great lengths to kill her.
That time, the half-assassination looking for trouble was obviously aimed at Xie Wei.
Two years ago, she made a mistake and was involved in Xie Wei's establishment of a bureau to eradicate the Heavenly Sect. On the way back from Tongzhou to Beijing, a group of people were also assassinated.
Of course, these dead men were not here for Jiang Xuening.
They all came for the "Ding Fei Shizi" who was pitied by God and survived by chance.
As for this time, she thought about it and felt that she didn't offend anyone. If she went to the border alone, she wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
The bad is bad in the same road with Xie Wei.
Thinking of this, her brows became tighter and she couldn't help but say, "Do you know who is going to kill you?"
Xie Wei held a bow and an arrow, and continued to walk forward, saying: "There are too many people who want to kill me."
Jiang Xuening said speechlessly: "What about this time? Daoqin said that the people of the Heavenly Sect—"
No, not right.
Daoqin didn't say that.
At this moment, a tight string in her mind suddenly trembled, causing her whole body to fight a cold war, as if she was thrown into ice water, and suddenly sobered up.
In the previous critical moment, what Daoqin said was not "There is no way that there can be such a powerful archer in the sect of heaven", but "there is no way that there is such a powerful archer in the teaching"!
Heavenly teaching, teaching.
There is a difference between a single word, but the deep meaning contained in it is thousands of miles apart!
Who would say "teaching" instead of "heavenly teaching"
Jiang Xuening's eyelids jumped up and looked at Xie Wei who was walking in front of him.
However, Xie Wei didn't seem to notice how much shock was hidden under her abruptly stopped words, or maybe he didn't care at all, he only said: "The rats in the rivers and lakes hide their heads and show their tails, and they can't raise such elites. The DPRK and China cannot be separated from each other. It doesn't matter who it is, they will all be killed by then, and there will be no fish that slip through the net."
"… "
Jiang Xuening was speechless.
Xie Wei smiled at the front: "I thought you knew my true face."
Understanding returns to understanding, but vaguely knowing and hearing with one's own ears are not the same feeling.
Jiang Xuening was reluctant to know more about him.
The more she knows, the deeper the danger will be. In the last life, she has been involved in the disputes too deeply. After saving the princess in this life, she will have nothing else to do.
She looked at the surrounding dense forest, but couldn't see the road at all. She felt a little anxious in her heart, and at the same time, she changed the subject without making a sound, and said, "Aren't we going back?"
Xie Wei said: "There is no one in the carriage, and they will find out sooner or later. If we do a little calculation, we will know when we are fleeing, and we will definitely lay a net on the previous road. If we go back, we will throw ourselves into the net."
Jiang Xuening frowned: "Where are we going then?"
Xie Wei said: "Jinan House."
Jiang Xuening's brows furrowed deeper, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. knows the way?"
Xie Wei broke a branch that was blocking the road in front of him, and said calmly: "To the north of Tai'an is Jinan, you only need to cross this mountain. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you are inclined to tigers. Mountain walk."
Jiang Xuening was completely speechless.
Go ahead to dangers
God knows if he was accidentally buried in the belly of a tiger!
Walking in the mountains in late autumn is by no means an easy task, not to mention looking around, the jungle is dense, the wind is howling, and the mountains are rugged and steep.
Xie Wei has long hands and feet, and opens the way in front.
Jiang Xuening said a few words to him at first, but then he was neither in the mood nor the strength. After only two minutes, there was already a layer of sweat on his forehead, and he could only walk with his head down, stepping on the footprints left by Xie Wei in front of him, striving to move forward step by step.
The mountains in the middle of the night are all silent.
The dead branches and rotten leaves spread a thick layer in the forest, which can sink half of the sole of a foot in the shallow part, but can bury half of a person's leg in the deep part.
The sound of their marching was infinitely amplified in the emptiness.
Sometimes it even makes people suspect that it is not their own voice, but something else behind them.
This feeling is extraordinarily familiar.
Jiang Xuening thought that he had forgotten it for a long time, but when the same situation and similar situation reappeared, those unbearable and trivial memories of the old days all emerged from a corner that had been covered by darkness for a long time.
Like a reef exposed when the tide goes out.
Although it has changed its original shape under the erosion of running water and the accumulation of dust and sand, and even moved its original position, he is still there, always there, and has never disappeared.
Only when there is no mortal interference between the world and the whole person is shrouded in terrifying nature, can people truly realize their own insignificance and truly face their deep heart full of scars.
Xie Wei had not heard her speak for a long time.
All I could hear was the sound of footsteps marching from behind, sometimes closer, sometimes farther.
And that gradually obvious gasp.
But she never heard any "slow down" or "wait a minute" request from her.
She just tried her best to keep up with him.
Xie Wei felt like he was back at that time.
He looked back at her.
Jiang Xuening fell behind. The original delicate clothes were cut a little by the surrounding branches and thorns while walking, showing a bit of embarrassment, and the combed black hair also fell in a messy way. She picked up a wooden stick in her hand as a crutch, but after all, she was not as tall as him, and she did not have a particularly strong physique, so it was extremely difficult to walk. Completely clenched his teeth, supported by an unyielding arrogance in his bones.
Like a wild weed.
Silence and tenacity.
That kind of demeanor easily overlapped with the arrogant and self-respecting girl back then.
Compared with six years ago, she has only grown taller and opened up a bit.
Actually nothing really changed.
But Xie Wei suddenly thought: She should be the flower in the garden, not the grass on the plain.
When he approached, there was a tall tree shadow above his head, blocking the starlight in the bleak and cold night. Jiang Xuening couldn't see his feet clearly. The roots of the tree stumbled.
Xie Wei stretched out his hand to support her.
Two palms clasped.
Everything seems to be the same as before.
It was only then that she would purse her lips and frown, and would rather fall to the ground than flick his hand away; but now, the grown-up girl just looked up at him, and after a moment of silence, turned to him. He said, "Thank you."
It doesn't seem to have changed, and it seems that something is quietly flowing.
The road that followed was inexplicably quieter.
The two of them had their own thoughts and didn't speak.
Sometimes Xie Wei would stop and wait when he was walking fast; Jiang Xuening didn't just try to be brave. If there were any hillsides and ravines that he couldn't get past, he would grab Xie Wei's hand and try not to slow down his journey.
Xie Wei said that he had to cross this mountain before it snowed.
Jiang Xuening then remembered what Daoqin said earlier, to rush to the border before it snows.
When Daoqin spoke, she didn't think deeply;
But when the words were almost the same, from Xie Wei's mouth, she had a less optimistic conjecture.
Xie Wei didn't explain anything. Another branch slanted out in front of him blocking the way. He stretched out his hand, and just as he broke the branch, he heard a rustling movement, and something hissed.
Almost at the same time, a sharp tingling pain came from the index finger of the right hand near the palm.
His pupils tightened sharply.
Something bit him, but he didn't make a sound in the dark, just stabbed the sharp cut of the broken branch with his backhand, and stabbed it into the cold body of the thing, with a faint "snort" sound. Crackling sound.
Jiang Xuening walked behind, didn't see it at all, just asked, "What's the matter, sir?"
Xie Wei was afraid of scaring her and threw the thing away.
Just said: "It's okay."
The two walked forward for another two hours. After all, they were only mortal, and they would get tired after a long time.
Fortunately, the mountain ahead has finally been crossed.
Jiang Xuening followed Xie Wei out of the woods, and saw the deep valley between the two mountains, a clear stream flowing down from the distance. The east has already lit up with fish belly white, the subtle morning light falls from the shadows of the trees, and the thin mist floats like a veil.
She was overjoyed, ran down immediately, squatted by the stream, poured a handful of water on her stained cheeks, and sighed comfortably.
Then I remembered Xie Wei.
He turned around and shouted, "Sir, we'll rest here—sir?"
Xie Wei did not follow.
When Jiang Xuening turned his head, he only saw him sitting on the edge of a bare rock on the hillside with his eyes closed. Hearing her voice, he didn't open his eyes.
After waiting for a while, he was still sitting still.
Jiang Xuening walked back again, went up the hillside, and shouted again, "Sir?"
Xie Wei raised his eyes lightly.
The first light of the sky shone on his face, and there was a morbid pallor on his face.
Jiang Xuening almost thought he was asleep, and reached out to put his hand on his shoulder, but suddenly saw two dark red blood holes on his right index finger hanging down on his knees!
At this moment, Jiang Xuening felt a biting chill.
The icy stream slid down her cheeks.
She quietly stared at the calm face in front of her, and she actually gave birth to a kind of sadness that was close to panic. After a pause, she realized that she was almost trembling and clinging to Xie Wei's palm, and put his index finger knuckles in her mouth. , suck hard.
The blood hole suddenly had a fishy and salty taste gushing out.
She took a small mouthful and spat it out to the side.
My heart was panicked for no reason.
Xie Wei's eyelashes moved, he opened his eyes calmly, looked at her, but said without ups and downs: "Are you still afraid of death?"
Jiang Xuening was suddenly stunned.
Her lips were slightly cold, but the tip of her tongue was warm. At this moment, she raised her head and only met those deep and sober pupils. There was no snake venom at all, and she was not in a coma at all!
"you!"
In an instant, she was like the one who was bitten by a snake, and immediately threw away his hand, stepped aside, and looked at him vigilantly and angrily.
Xie Wei slowly retracted his hand.
Fingers are still warm.
His eyes fell on Jiang Xuening, but he didn't move away, but he opened his mouth and slammed the wound into it. After he tasted a touch of blood on the tip of his tongue, he slowly said, "That doctor and liar back then didn't teach you to tell the difference. Is it? Not poisonous."
This is a mockery of her stupidity of cutting her wrists and feeding blood back then!
Jiang Xuening's chest heaved and he was too angry to speak.
Xie Wei's gaze made her even more terrified of being stared at by a poisonous snake, and even his voice had a chilling calmness: "I am your Mr. You can never be a saint or a good person. People are like wild animals. If you still want to marry a good person and don’t want to be silenced by me, I advise you to stay away from me.”
Jiang Xuening is not a fool, and his eyelids jumped just listening to the words "desire for a feast".
However, people are prone to reversal when they reach the limit.
Fear to the extreme turned into anger.
She has fallen into such a field, and the surnamed Xie hasn't even said a word in her mouth. No matter how she looks like the word "zuo", she doesn't know which tendon is twisting which anti-bone, sneering. In a single voice: "Really? Mr. Xie is very good at self-cultivation and self-cultivation. He can't do anything else. Duplicity is really powerful. Don't worry, I don't know who sleeps and who suffers!"
