Chapter 9 Peer
Xu Chen stood in the place where the two sides had fought each other with blood. The blood and broken hands were everywhere. The bodies were intertwined and tilted. He smelled the heavy smell of blood. He looked down at the Huangkeng thief who killed himself with a knife. His dead face was so hideous that it was scary.
Xu Chen, who came back to his senses, threw down the knife in an instant, ran to the tree beside the official road and vomited.
"Miss..." Seeing that the matter was over, the maid walked out of the carriage with weak feet, but when she saw the nearby scene and smelled the bloody smell, she hurriedly covered her mouth.
Although Xiao Lian looked a little pale, she did not act as unbearable as Xu Chen. She lifted her skirt and walked towards Xu Chen.
"Thank you for passing by and saving me. If it weren't for the young master's actions, I would probably be this time..." Xiao Lian did not continue.
Xu Chen wiped his mouth. He vomited for a while, and the churning stomach finally calmed down. He turned around and said, "You're welcome, I... didn't do anything." He was still so resistant to murder in his heart. Although he knew that all the people he killed were bad people, he still couldn't accept it.
Seeing Xu Chen turn around, Xiao Lian looked at the person who saved her. Her eyes, sword eyebrows, face was as beautiful as jade, and even her skin color was almost comparable to that of her woman.
"The little woman is Xiao Lian, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family in Fengqi Town. I don't know what the young master calls her?" Xiao Lian couldn't help but blush when she saw Xu Chen's appearance.
"Don't call me a young master, I'm a farmer in Huangjia Village, just call me Xu Chen." Xu Chen looked for the burden that had just been left for him nearby.
When Xiao Lian heard Xu Chen's words, she noticed that Xu Chen's dress was indeed dressed like a farmer's family. However, she saw that Xu Chen's skin was so fair and her hands were as thin as lotus roots. She didn't believe it like a person who often did farm work, but she couldn't doubt anything.
After carrying the bag, Xu Chen turned around and saw the scene on the official road, he couldn't help but frown.
Xiao Lian walked to Xu Chen and hurriedly said, "Xu... Master, the little girl has something to ask for."
"What's up?"
"The little woman has never gone far away, and I don't know the way back to Fengqi Town. I don't know if the young master can escort me back to the Xiao family. If the young master is willing to help me again, the young lady is not very grateful, and I promise that the Xiao family will not treat you badly." Xiao Lian said as he looked at Xu Chen's face.
Xu Chen looked at the maid standing beside him and looked at Xiao Lian. If it were an hour ago, he would have agreed without hesitation. After all, he happened to go to Fengqi Town, and Xiao Lian was accompanied by his beauty. But after experiencing such a thing, he felt that he did not have the ability to protect the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and he could not even protect himself.
"It's no big deal to send you to Fengqi Town, because I just happened to go." Xu Chen said slowly, "But I have to make three rules with you."
"Young Master, tell me." Xiao Lian couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Xu Chen's agreement.
"First, I have not learned any martial arts and I have no ability to protect you. Second, if something happens suddenly and cannot be solved beyond my ability, I may abandon you and run away by myself." Xu Chen said calmly, his tone with unquestionable in his tone
When Xiao Lian heard that it was this matter, he agreed without thinking. After all, this was the official road and it was not far from Fengqi Town. There was no reason to run out of a team of bandits to rob the road.
When Xu Chen saw Xiao Lian agreeing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he picked up the long sword on the side of the road and digged a pit near the official road. Xiao Lian knew what he was going to do, so he quickly called the maid Xiaoqing to come forward to help.
It is not difficult to dig a pit, but it is not easy to dig a pit of more than a dozen people. Moreover, Xiao Lian asked embarrassedly, hoping to dig two pits, one to put the corpses of the Yellow Cult thief, and the other to put the corpses of the Xiao family guards. Xiao Lian said that it was for the convenience of returning to someone to come and transport the corpses of these people back to Fengqi Town.
Anyway, they were digging holes, and digging two was also digging. Xu Chen also respected these loyal guards very much, so he agreed.
When burying the body of Awei, the guard of Xiao family, Xu Chen saw that Xiao Lian had a sad face, so he comforted her a few words. However, when he saw that Awei's sword seemed to be different from others, he picked it up and looked it up.
The knife is slender and straight and has an inner arc, and there is a small ring on the handle. Xu Chen, who doesn't know the knife tools, also knows that this knife is a good knife.
"This is the ring-headed sword that my father rewarded to Awei." Xiao Lian said from the side, "If Mr. Xu likes it, just take it with you, as there is a protective weapon on the road."
Xu Chen nodded and accepted.
It took Xu Chen nearly two hours to finish the pits and bury the bodies of the corpses.
Xu Chen, Xiao Lian and Xiao Qing and the other two found a small river near the official road to clean the blood and dust on their bodies. After cleaning, they started to rush. Because time was a bit tight, Xu Chen was not sure whether he could arrive in Fengqi Town before nightfall.
On the way, Xiao Lian kept trying to chat with Xu Chen, testing the authenticity of Xu Chen's identity as a farmer and inquiring about his true identity.
Xu Chen had no interest in chatting. He would reply when he had something to say, otherwise he would bow his head and rush to go, which made Xiao Lian feel helpless.
After the three of them walked for an hour, the maid Xiaoqing was fine, but Xiao Lian, who had never walked so many roads, seemed a little struggling and had already started to sway.
Seeing this, Xu Chen walked up to Xiao Lian and squatted behind his back, saying, "I'll carry you."
Xiao Lian suddenly turned red and said hurriedly: "How can this be done!"
"We just spent too much time, and we may not have much time to rest on the road. I am afraid that we will not be able to get to Fengqi Town before nightfall, so we can only stay in the wild for one night. I believe you don't want to do this." Xu Chen said.
"But, but...!" Xiao Lian was still a little unwilling to accept it, but her feet had already started to feel unbearable pain, and Xu Chen's worries were not casually said.
"I know that men and women will not be sympathetic. Don't worry, I will put you down when I arrive in Fengqi Town soon. I won't tell others about this. I believe your maid will not talk nonsense everywhere."
"I won't say it." The maid Xiaoqing shook her head quickly.
Xiao Lian looked at Xu Chen's back and was tangled, while Xu Chen urged her to hurry up. In the end, Xiao Lian compromised. She carefully held her hands on Xu Chen's shoulders and leaned her body towards Xu Chen's back.
Xu Chen also politely did not hold Xiao Lian's buttocks, but wrapped his hands around her legs and carried her back, but Xu Chen felt that it was unexpectedly light.
"So light, don't you even have a good meal?" Xu Chen asked.
"Ah?" Xiao Lian, who had just moved up and smelled the unique breath of a man, was already a little confused.
"Forget it, it's okay."
