Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 26: A robbery

Li Jia walked in a small wood not far from the school. The autumn sun is not warm, but his forehead has been sweating slightly. He was a little nervous and more expectant.

Because at this time, he was not alone, and Celinda was walking beside him. She still carried the basket, and there was some bread and fruit vaguely visible in it. The upper body was still wearing that coarse cloth suit, but changed to a red skirt with a stale color. Li Jia knows that for a poor farm woman, this may be her best skirt. Her fiery red hair was wrapped in a white cloth, revealing a swan-like head and neck, and Li Jia kept peeping at her with Yu Guang.

It seems that this is a well-prepared date, Li Jia thought with some excitement. This is the fourth time they have met, every time before, they quietly met in the school. Today, Celinda pulled him out as soon as he met at the secret stronghold. The thought of the girl even taking the initiative to invite herself to an outing, Li Jia's heart has been jumping.

The two of them walked slowly and quietly. Li Jia enjoyed the quietness, and feared that it would become his boring criminal evidence. He felt the need to say something and break the silence.

"It's great here." Li Jia pushed her glasses, looked up at the sky, and said seriously.

"Good!" Celinda smiled back at him.

Li Jia knew that her sentence was just a retelling of her own voice, just like a child who learns to speak. But he always felt that she could understand everything. This feeling gave him a desire to talk.

"In the past, there was such a forest in the park not far downstairs. Every time I failed the test, I would comfort myself, buy some KFC, and eat while walking in the forest. Every time I get a good test I would reward myself, or buy some KFC, and eat while walking in the woods. But no matter what kind of situation, there is only one person. When I was thinking, I would go to the **** test, the test is not the only one People eat KFC. "

Celinda listened to him sideways, her face ignorant, and then repeated it again: "KFC?"

Li Jia chuckled, "KFC, it's really nostalgic. If I go back now, I will be able to finish a whole family bucket. I will buy two, one for you, and one for me, and I will die in one breath."

"Family bucket?"

Li Jia looked up at the confused look of the other party and smiled happily. He stroked the rice in his mouth, "Well, it was some kind of delicious junk food I had eaten before. But then again , With you there now, it ’s okay not to go back. Uh, actually I want to say, who eats with is more important than what to eat. "

Celinda seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, seeing him look like he was going to eat, thinking he was hungry, and quickly took him to sit on a stone, put down the basket, took out the bread inside and gave it to him.

The bread is very hard and very dark, but Li Jia knows that this is already a very good food for the people in the surrounding villages and towns. He broke a small piece into his mouth, and then put most of the rest back into Celinda's hands. Unexpectedly, Celinda learned something like that, she broke off a small piece of food and handed it back to him. The two of you come and go, the bread becomes smaller and smaller, but a strange tacit understanding begins to flow between each other.

If all goes on like this, it will be a perfect afternoon.

However, before the bread was finished, Li Jia suddenly heard the sound of a dead branch being trampled behind him. He looked back and was so scared that he dropped the bread on the ground. I saw more than ten meters away, there were two sturdy men in black, covered their faces, holding sharp blades, and I didn't know where they came from. The two were quietly approaching, and when Li Jia found them, they accelerated their pace and rushed up.

Li Jia was terrified in his heart, and pulled up Celinda and ran. Celinda, of unknown origin, looked back and quickly ran away with Li Jia.

Li Jia hurriedly glanced at the roof of the school with the treetops high in the distance, and secretly regretted it. It turned out that he had gone so far unconsciously, at least two or three kilometers from the school. He believes that as long as he is close to the school, he can meet the patrol team. Even if the robbers behind are no more fierce, they cannot be opponents of the "five and a half."

However, they are too close, only at most seven or eight meters away from Li Jia. And Li Jia also ran with a girl ... Hearing Celine's heavy breathing around, Li Jia's heart sank.

Sure enough, before she ran out of fifty meters, Celinda seemed to trip over something, screaming and fell to the ground. Li Jia slipped her palm and lost Celinda's hand. He turned and saw that Celinda had been carried in front of a man in black, and a long sword was resting on her neck.

Li Jia pulled a dagger from the waist and shouted, "Let her go!" The voice was full of tension.

Another man in black saw that Li Jia no longer ran away, but did not force him to come, but pointed at Li Jia with a sword and shouted loudly.

Li Jia couldn't understand what the other party was saying. He could only watch Celinda's pale face being held, and then waved the little dagger vigorously, shouting repeatedly: "Let her go!"

"Surrender ... Follow me!" Suddenly, the man in black popped out a very stiff Chinese with a strange tone, but Li Jia understood it.

"You ... actually speak Chinese?" Li Jia stunned.

"Surrender, let's go!" The man in black pointed at Celinda, "If you don't surrender, die."

Li Jia's thoughts turned sharply, and she suddenly understood what she said: "You must not be an ordinary robber, you are just here to catch me, right?"

auzw.com "Huh, yes! You ... run away ... impossible!" said the man in black toughly.

Li Jia suddenly put a dagger in his throat and shouted loudly: "You let her go, I will surrender. If you don't agree, I would rather die here."

This action not only surprised the two men in black, but even Celinda was hijacked, his face was surprised, and he looked at Li Jia with a complicated look.

The two men in black looked at each other, and the man in black sneered with a sneer: "You die ... others ... we will catch again!"

"But, will there be such an opportunity today? As long as you promise me to let her go, I will follow you obediently. You not only completed the task, but you do n’t have to take risks anymore. People, if you meet truly powerful warriors and mages, you may not even be able to survive! "Li Jia said.

The man in black did not know if he understood him. He was hesitant and discussed with another robber in a low voice. Li Jia pointed at his throat with a dagger, and his heart was chaotic. He knew it was difficult for him to escape today. All he can do is use his value to save Celinda's life. I hope you can escape, at least give a letter to the people in the school, he looked at her with some despair.

However, what puzzled him was that Celinda didn't panic at this time, but she slowly showed a determined look on her face. I saw that while the two robbers were still arguing, she slowly reached into her pocket and secretly took out a knife. This knife was originally used to cut food, only two inches long, and Celinda held it in her hand, unobtrusively.

She gave him a decisive look, which made Li Jia's heart tremble. Then, as soon as she gritted her teeth, she tried to insert the knife into the robber's thigh. Then bowed back and bumped.

The robber's weapon fell to the ground, covering his thigh with his hand, screaming and falling backward. The other robber was stunned by the sudden change. Unexpectedly, the knife thrown by Celinda and the kick kicked by Li Jiafei came.

Li Jia never thought that he would fight hard with the knife gangster. If he encounters such a situation, he must have escaped as far as he can. But when Celinda drew out the knife, he didn't know where to find enough courage and rushed over without any care.

Perhaps it was Celinda's movement too fast, maybe the flying knife made him distracted, Li Jia's foot kicked down on the man in black, and the man snorted and knelt down.

"Run away!" Li Jia quickly pulled up Celinda and got into the forest.

———————————————————————————

After running for a long time in a panic, the two finally came exhausted to the secret exit of the school. Li Jiaxin looked back at Lin Zi with fear. There are no traces of people in black.

He gasped and hugged Celinda, muttering, "Fortunately, okay, you're okay, we actually escaped. We really escaped. Frightened me."

Celinda was hugged by him, a little overwhelmed, and his body inevitably stiffened, but after listening to Li Jiaxu's insulting remarks, he relaxed and began to pat his back gently with his hands.

Li Jia said for a while before slowly relaxing. He held Celinda's arms in his hands and looked at her and said, "Thank you. If you weren't as brave today, we would be over. But I am also very happy because I understand one thing, I really like you , I ’m willing to work hard for you. I understand this, and I ’m really, really happy. ”

Looking at Celinda's red face, with a puzzled look, Li Jia laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I didn't expect my first confession, others didn't understand it at all. But it doesn't matter, you will understand . Now, hurry back to the village. Take the road, be careful! "

———————————————————————————

Not long after Celinda left the road, several people got out of the forest and came to her, led by Nina, and the two black robbers stripped off the black cloth on their faces, and followed behind behind her. The two were in good shape and were not injured at all. It seemed that the previous battle was purely acting.

"Your magic text is too bad!" Celinda said angrily to the two robbers.

"That is an old saying after all. We dare not compare with you." A man in black said embarrassedly.

"However, the guy understood. And his response was quite brave." Another robber added.

There was a smile on Celinda's face, but she was soon covered up by her, "I'll stop here today."

"Miss, how did you change your mind?" Nina asked softly.

"I suddenly didn't want to grab him and come back to torture." Celinda said lightly.

"This ..., don't you say that this hasn't made much progress now?"

"I think ... maybe keeping the status quo, you will get more." Celinda waved her hand and walked into the depths of the forest first.
