Chapter 56

By the time the matters of the chamber of commerce were finalized, the sky was already so thick that it couldn't melt into black, and there were no stars or moons tonight.

Everyone bid farewell to each other and went home.

Rejecting Shopkeeper Qian's offer to take her home, Xiaoruo picked up a lantern, locked the small courtyard, and walked home alone.

She has supernatural powers and is naturally courageous. She is not afraid of walking alone at night.If you really meet a villain, burn it to the ground, I'm afraid it will be the villain who will cry.

After walking a few steps, I saw a figure at the entrance of the alley, also holding a lantern, leaning against the courtyard wall.

The lantern was held very low by the man, and only a small circular yellow circle of light was illuminated. The man seemed a little bored of waiting, swinging the lantern pole, even jumping around with the circle of light on the ground.

Xiao Ruo has a slender figure and light footsteps, walking silently like a cat in the dark night, but the man seems to have heard her footsteps, raised the lantern and shouted in her direction: "Ruo Ruo. "

It's Xiaoxun.

Xiaoruo walked over quickly, and called him with a smile, "Axun, how do you know I'm here?"

Xiaoxun followed Jiang Ping to go to Xiangxi to protect the bodyguards. Before leaving, he only said that he would come back before the year, but he didn't expect that he would come back now that there is less than half a month before the Chinese New Year.

"I heard from Mr. Zheng that you came to Mao'er Lane. I don't know which one, but I'll wait for you at the entrance of the alley." Xiao Xun couldn't help grinning, he was easily aroused by Xiao Ruo every time, she smiled , he couldn't help laughing too.

The December night was chilly, and both of them could see the white breath they exhaled when they spoke.

Xiaoruo was wearing a buckskin jacket with cotton lining and a windproof cloak outside, so she didn't feel cold, but Xiaoxun was only wearing a relatively thick coat, and her hands exposed to the air were red from the cold, making her look like a little girl. The dog shivered.

"Stop standing there, let's go home!" She switched the lantern pole to the other side, holding Xiaoxun's left hand with her free right hand.

The hand that was a little stiff from the cold was held, and Xiaoxun could feel the warmth coming from the place where the skin touched.

Xiao Ruo's hand was small and soft, revealing its whiteness in the light of the two lanterns, like a piece of finely carved and warm suet jade, which made him hardly able to move his eyes away.

"Silly puppy, where are you looking, look at the road!" Xiaoruo scolded with a smile.

Having been together day and night for half a year, Xiao Ruo is not stupid, she can see Xiao Xun's thoughts.

It's just that in her heart, Xiaoxun is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, but inside she is already an adult woman in her twenties. She really can't convince herself that an old cow eats tender grass!And the grass is too juicy, it hasn't grown up yet.

The youth is so enthusiastic, maybe after Xiaoxun regains his memory, sees a wider world, and gets to know more gentle, lovely, and all kinds of women, he will meet a more suitable person.

Now, let yourself play the role of a good sister and accompany the puppy to grow up slowly.

The two had their own thoughts in their minds, and the two lanterns illuminated the road in front of them, protecting them as they walked slowly towards home in the winter night.

Cat Lane was not far from their home, and after a while they saw the light of the candles at home shining on the road in front of the house through the open courtyard door.

A small head protruded from the entrance of the courtyard, with two small round buns tied up. His big eyes immediately spotted two points of light in the distance.

"Sister! Brother Axun! Go back—"

Before the words finished, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the darkness and dragged her into the darkness, leaving only a vague whining sound, which was the sound of Xiaoyou's struggle with her mouth covered.

The familiar child's voice was suddenly interrupted, and Xiaoxun was keenly aware that something was wrong, he only had time to say "Ruo Ruo be careful", and flew towards the direction where the sound disappeared like an arrow leaving the string.

The thick night became the best cover, and the lantern was useless in the fast running, so Xiaoxun simply threw away the lantern and only relied on his ears to distinguish their positions.

That man obviously planned it long ago, he was wearing a night clothes that blended into the night, walking through this starless and moonless night, there was almost no trace of it.

Fortunately, Xiaoyou is not, the little girl loves to be pretty, she is wearing a light green jacket today, under the occasional faint candlelight leaked from other people's windows, she appears and disappears like a group of faint fireflies.

Relying on the hazy green, Xiaoxun followed closely behind the thief, and gradually shortened the distance. When they reached the Qinzhou parapet, they were only more than ten meters apart.

Holding Xiao Niao who was struggling constantly in his arms, the thief was obviously exhausted, seeing that he could not escape the pursuit of the people behind him by running alone, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he pulled out a thin whip from his waist and whipped it towards Xiao Xun.

The thin whip was unfolded in the air, it was three meters long, the tip of the whip was shining with silvery white light, it was actually inlaid with sharp barbs, if one hit it, a large piece of flesh would be torn off.

Xiaoxun bent over and rolled to the left, dodging the fatal whip, then drew out his dagger, lowered his body to gather strength, and rushed towards the man while he was shaking his hand to retract the whip.

The dagger and the whip came into contact for a moment in the void, and the person who was swinging the whip felt his jaw go numb, and the whip came out of his hand, throwing a short parabola in the air, before slumping to the ground.

When the whip hit the ground, Xiaoxun had already rushed in front of him, he had no choice but to throw Xiaoyou in his arms in the opposite direction to Xiaoxun.

Xiaoyou's small body is like a kite with a broken thread, and it is about to hit the ground. Xiaoxun forcefully supports the ground with his right foot, stops his inertia of rushing towards the thief, and turns around to rush towards Xiaoyou, finally at the last moment he regards himself as a The meat pad protects her small body in his arms.

The thief laughed, and pulled out an eight-inch short horsewhip from behind with his right hand, and slapped it fiercely on Xiaoxun's calf who was too late to get up, and his left hand went to pull Xiaoxun in his arms, but he still didn't give up on wanting to take Xiaoxun away. curl away.

At this moment, a group of bright red flames appeared out of thin air, engulfing the thief's left hand that was stretched out to Xiaoyou.

Xiaoruo came here panting, she didn't have internal skills, couldn't keep up with the speed of Xiaoxun and the thief, so she could only run in the general direction they were going.

She didn't know how long she ran, and finally two blurred figures appeared in her sight.A larger-looking figure curled up on the ground, as if protecting something in his arms, while another figure drew out a whip-like weapon and was attacking the figure on the ground.

She immediately judged that the ones on the ground were Xiaoxun and Xiaoyou, and before she had time to think, she stretched out her right palm and grabbed the thief in the direction of the void, and the high-temperature flames meekly devoured the thief as she wished.

"Ah——" the thief let out a shrill scream, and the short riding whip fell to the ground. He frantically slapped his left hand with his right hand, trying to extinguish the inexplicably high-temperature flame.

But no matter how much he slammed, rolled on the ground, and jumped up and down, the flames did not weaken at all, and only brought him more severe pain.
