NABC Chapter 6 White Rainbow!
Chapter 6 White Rainbow!
As the woman fell toward him, the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
Zhong Yuan deftly stepped back, making no attempt to catch the woman.
Pfft!
The woman fell flat on her face and became still.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Yuan quickly kicked the longsword that had fallen to the side off the bed.
Then, he carefully kicked the woman's left arm to make sure she didn't react.
He squatted down, turned the woman over, and touched her wrist.
There's a pulse!
Still alive!
He just fainted.
Zhong Yuan looked at the woman with her eyes tightly closed and couldn't help but stroke his chin in deep thought.
Where did this woman come from?
Let alone Zhenjie Village, even in Qingxi County, there probably isn't a woman as beautiful as her.
Moreover, this woman clearly knows martial arts and is a member of the martial arts world. If she wakes up, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be tempted to kill again.
Now, send someone to throw her into the mountains and let her fend for herself?
No.
That's no different from killing someone yourself.
Besides, who knows who this woman is? What if she's not dead, and wakes up to find that she's been thrown into the mountains and comes back seeking revenge?
After thinking it over, I decided it was best to leave her there and wait for the woman to wake up to check on her condition.
But we can't be completely unprepared.
Zhong Yuan's eyes lit up, and an idea came to him. He went to the west room to get a rope, picked up the woman, and leaned her against a nearby pillar.
Then, they tied the woman to the pillar, three times to the left and three times to the right.
After it's tied up.
Zhong Yuan was relieved.
With a strange woman in the room, it was impossible for Zhong Yuan to continue studying in peace.
Zhong Yuan took out the sword that he had just kicked under the bed. The sword was about three feet long, silver-white, slender and sharp!
Although Zhong Yuan had never seen many swords before, the moment he got his hands on this sword, he felt as if it were a part of him from birth.
He didn't know how to wield a sword, and just casually twirled it a few times.
Thinking to himself, he needed to find a sword technique that could cultivate internal energy as soon as possible!
This world is not peaceful!
No matter which officials or clerks run rampant in the government!
He's still a wanderer in the martial arts world!
None of them were people that a weak, bookish scholar could handle!
It was clear that the woman wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
Zhong Yuan took his sword, went into the courtyard, and prepared to poke the scarecrow there a few times.
The scarecrow was made by Zhong Yuan. He usually lives alone in the courtyard of these three large houses.
Although the villagers of Zhenjie Village are all fellow villagers, there are no outsiders among them.
But if you make two scarecrows and put them in the yard, you can fool outsiders if they come at night.
The scarecrow had fallen to the side against the wall, and a clay pot next to it was broken.
Zhong Yuan looked up at the top of the wall.
Good guy.
The door was closed tightly.
This woman climbed over the wall to get in.
His courtyard wall was built with pebbles and rammed earth. Although it was not as high as Fang Youchang's courtyard wall, it was still about 1.8 meters high.
It seems this woman has real skills.
He was seriously injured by someone, but no one knows who.
Clean up the broken pottery jars and put the scarecrow back up.
Zhong Yuan picked up the sword and stabbed the scarecrow many times.
Perhaps it was because of his innate sword lineage, but he felt a deep connection with the longsword in his hand.
soon.
The sky was getting dark.
After stabbing the scarecrow repeatedly, Zhong Yuan felt much better, his anger dissipating.
Back in the main house, he closed the doors and windows, lit the oil lamp, and prepared to continue reading.
At this time.
But then they heard the woman's slightly weak voice coming from behind them.
"water……"
Zhong Yuan felt a jolt of fear and turned to look, only to see that the woman had not fully woken up.
His face turned bright red, and he was dazed and wanted to drink water.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Yuan stood up and touched the woman's forehead.
Good guy.
It's really hot.
She has a high fever; could it be that her wound is infected?
He looked at the woman's left arm and saw a cut on her fair skin that had already scabbed over.
Zhong Yuan took a deep breath.
Take a gamble!
The woman who came carrying a sword must be skilled in swordsmanship.
Try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
Save her life, and she will repay you with a sword technique.
She probably won't refuse.
Zhong Yuan poured a bowl of water and fed it to the woman. The woman was drowsy and didn't drink much before becoming still and fainting.
Seeing this, Zhong Yuan gulped down the remaining half bowl of water, composed himself, and continued reading.
But in the middle of the night, I just couldn't stay awake any longer, and my eyelids were drooping so badly.
He fell asleep at his desk.
……
early morning.
The scent, carrying a hint of earth, wafted into Zhong Yuan's nostrils.
Zhong Yuan suddenly woke up with a start.
Looking back.
On his bed, he saw the woman sitting upright with her eyes closed and her hands resting on her knees.
Zhong Yuan turned around and sat up straight.
Looking down, the rope binding the woman had already broken into several pieces.
Zhong Yuan took a deep breath.
Good guy.
How could they possibly escape?
I was careless!
Does this woman know how to shrink her bones?
Zhong Yuan dared not make any rash moves.
At this time.
But then the woman opened her eyes, her clear eyes staring at Zhong Yuan with a blank expression.
A chill rose from the soles of Zhong Yuan's feet.
That woman's eyes are so cold.
"Miss...don't misunderstand!"
"I never intended to kill you!"
The woman raised her arms above her head, circled them once, and exhaled a breath of stale air.
After a few pauses, he finally asked, "Was it you who gave me the water last night?"
Zhong Yuan nodded solemnly.
"It's me!"
The woman nodded slightly, her eyelids lowered. Although she was seriously injured and unconscious last night, she had not lost consciousness.
"I will stay here to recover for the next few days. Just bring me some food every day."
"I will leave once I have recovered from my injuries."
"Do not let any third party know that I am here."
Zhong Yuan was more than happy to see this, and nodded immediately, saying, "Understood, no one else will know you exist."
The woman glanced at Zhong Yuan with considerable surprise.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Zhong Yuan stood up.
"Afraid!"
"But then I thought, if you wanted to kill me, you would have finished me off with a single sword last night."
Why wait until now?
"Besides, I think a girl as beautiful as her shouldn't be the kind of ruthless female demon that's rumored to kill without blinking an eye."
The woman said calmly, "Scholars from the Central Plains are indeed very good at deceiving people."
"You like my White Rainbow Sword?"
The woman's gaze fell on the desk beside her, where her white rainbow sword lay.
Last night, Zhong Yuan placed the sword beside him, simply because it made him feel a little safer.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Yuan picked up the sword directly.
"So, this sword is called White Rainbow."
When the woman saw Zhong Yuan holding a long sword, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes and said softly, "You saved my life."
"If you like this White Rainbow Sword, I can give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan felt that although the woman seemed cold, she was not the kind of person who would be vicious, otherwise she would not have given him a sword.
This is a great opportunity!
A gentleman does not take what others love.
"Since this sword belongs to the young lady, how can I take it away?"
"However, I observe that the young lady possesses extraordinary skills."
"If you could teach me a sword technique that can cultivate internal energy, that would be wonderful."
Upon hearing this, the woman paused for a moment, then glanced at Zhong Yuan twice, remained silent for three breaths, and finally uttered two words.
"Alright!"
