Chapter 24 Rainstorm Strange Changes (Updating Updates)
At night, the lakeside restaurant.
These young people around the age of 18-20 are at their most prosperous time in their lives, and they coincide with winning the general election. In the future, most of them will enter the large faction that others envy. The spirit of the heart, the lofty words and ambitions are endless, so that everyone present, whether men or women, is full of emotions, and it is almost impossible to swoop on the spot to become half-brothers.
However, after calming down, everyone still agreed with each other that today's ambitions will never be forgotten, and they will support each other and take care of each other from now on, and help each other in times of difficulty.
As the cups of wine were eaten and the dishes were served, the time passed slowly, and the banquet gradually entered the second half.
Another plate of delicacies was brought to the table, which seemed to be a plate of oranges.
"Sister Jialan, have you ever eaten this?" Tang Nanlian reached out and took down an orange, lifted the lid on the orange, and revealed its deliciousness.
"A crab?" Roland Hill looked at the yellow cooked crab legs in the orange and asked guessing.
"Yes, this dish is called ''Crab Stuffed Oranges''. Choose a large ripe orange, cut off the top, cut out the flesh, leave a little juice, put the crab meat in it and fill it up, then cover the top, put Put it in a pot and steam it with wine vinegar and water, then add vinegar and salt to mix it, and it has the flavors of wine, chrysanthemum, orange, and crab.”
"My hometown is by the water, and a nearby restaurant is good at this. I didn't expect to see the same dish in Lei Xiaze." Tang Nanlian said so, picking up a small spoon and eating it.
"It tastes better. Sister Jialan, would you like to try it?" She closed her eyes slightly, savoring it carefully.
"Then let me try it too." Roland Hill also took down an orange-red fragrant orange, carefully lifted the lid, and tasted it with a small mouthful.
The crab meat has a faint aroma of wine, which is very fresh and mellow, and the sweet and sour taste of orange also dispels the greasy taste of meat and oil, making it very refreshing to eat.
In the later stage of the banquet, as more and more people were drunk, the voices in the lobby calmed down a little, and finally it was time for the banquet to end.
After saying goodbye to each other, the young people helped each other down the stairs, and the sound of carriages rang out from the window from time to time.
"It's getting late, we have to go back too." Roland Hill stood up.
"How about I... find someone to send the two young ladies.... a ride." Lan Yuanqing was a little drunk at this time, but he still tried his best to stand firm.
"No, you still have a lot of drunk people to send. We didn't drink alcohol, so we don't need to be so troublesome." Roland Hill shook his head.
"Well then, I wish you two a safe journey and see you tomorrow." Lan Yuanqing handed over, and then sat down drunkenly.
It was a mistake to drink, the girl sighed when she saw it, and then walked downstairs with Tang Nanlian.
After walking out of the restaurant, the cold water vapor from the lake blew with the night wind, making people feel a little cold and sober.
"Let's go." Lorraine Hill and Tang Nanlian walked towards the street with lanterns. At this time, there were still some pedestrians on the road. After all, it was a big city. Several tall candle towers in the city were also lit with bright flames, dimly illuminating the streets below, preventing them from falling into complete darkness.
After sending Tang Nanlian back to her residence, Roland Hill turned back alone and walked towards the inn where she was temporarily staying.
When she reached the general level, she suddenly noticed something and looked up at the sky.
It's going to rain.
Before she could finish sighing, pea-sized raindrops fell from the sky and hit the slate, making a snapping sound.
The water splashed on the bluestone, and the smell of rain mixed with soil filled the air. The pouring rain and the dense fall, if you pick it up with your hands, you will feel the slight pain from being hit.
In order to shelter from the rain, Roland Hill had to hide in a small alley beside the street for the time being, where the eaves of the houses on both sides protruded from each other, providing a relatively clean place.
Everything in the field of vision became blurred, and the sound of rain and water droplets could be heard everywhere. Loren Hill put down the half-wet, extinguished lantern, rolled up his sleeves, wrung it out slightly, squeezed out the water, and then loosened it.
The slightly wet clothes were attached to his arms, making people feel a chill, and the shoes under his feet moved slightly to find a slightly higher slate to stand. The girl leaned her back slightly against the wall and looked at the rain line that was close at hand.
Woo, I haven't reached Sequence Three yet. If I rush out now, I'm afraid I'll get wet all over my body. That's not good, Xiao Loran thought.
Let's wait a little longer, go out a little smaller, the girl thought, standing quietly under the eaves of the rain curtain.
Accompanying the heavy rain is the strong wind blowing, sometimes tilting the rain line, and the sound of rain is loud and quiet. In this turbulent storm, sometimes some raindrops floated into the open space under the eaves and hit the girl's skin.
Just when Roland Hill was thinking about whether to take advantage of this practice to pass the time without waiting, there was a loud noise from the street outside the alley.
It seemed like a group of people were scurrying away in the rain, stepping on the puddles, making the sound of wet water splashing.
"Who!" One of the voices suddenly shouted, as if to perceive a hidden figure.
The sudden sound shocked Roland Hill. Are you calling me? Do you want to go out and clarify. Before she could make up her mind, there was a slight sound of a knife being drawn on the street.
The blade may be made of fine iron, but it should not be high-quality, because there is a loud friction and tremor when it is pulled out, which makes people feel that the blade is not bright, but a light gray full of oxidation.
With the sound of the sword being drawn, the group of people galloping in the rain also became nervous. They put down something heavy, which seemed to be a sedan chair. Then stretch your hands to your waist and pull
out the sword he wears.
A blast of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the incandescent light illuminated the entire street, and the figure blocking the road ahead also appeared in the vision of the group of people.
Roland Hill closed his eyes slightly, sank his consciousness into his perception, and received the messy information brought by the breeze and the strong wind.
A woman wearing a hat stood quietly in the middle of the street. Her upper body was wrapped in a dim and slightly old breast wrap, and the skin of her arms and abdomen were exposed. Her complexion was slightly dark, which seemed to be caused by long-term labor.
The woman was wearing a broken dark blue dress, a style rarely seen in the mountains. The clogs on the feet were badly worn, and they seemed to have been worn for a long time, but they were still clean as a whole, but they became cold and dark after being drenched.
A slender knife was held in the woman's hand, the shape of the knife was like a seedling, and it pointed diagonally to the ground. The rainwater slid down the knife and dripped from the tip of the knife, forming a small water line, and then it was caught by the ground. The raging rain swept away and disappeared without a trace.
"Who are you, do you know which adult is sitting in this sedan chair. How dare you be so presumptuous!" The guards surrounding the sedan chair gradually stepped forward, and the sound of drawing swords rang out one after another in the street.
The woman raised her head, her face illuminated by a brief flash of thunder.
Its face is ordinary, no different from women who work abroad, but the only thing that stands out is the pair of eyes, which are extraordinarily calm, seeming to be the calm after perseverance and indifference to the extreme.
The simple Hemiao long knife turned abruptly, shaking off the water droplets on it, its figure was like a ghost, galloping in the rainstorm, the light of the knife was so fast that it was impossible to blink.
The guards beside the sedan chair must be called elites. About 12 of them belong to Sequence 2 and 6 of them belong to Sequence 3. The condensed momentum and energy are like an iron prison, firmly covering the sedan chair in the center. But under this sharp knife, as if nothing was there, one by one, the big heads flew up against the wind and rolled down into the rain by the street.
The blood was overflowing, and it washed away quickly in the rainstorm, and even the sound of fierce fighting was so inconspicuous under the cover of the rainstorm.
After the dozen or so guards in front fell down, the guards at the back didn't have time to step forward when the sedan door suddenly opened, and an eight-edged sword stabbed straight into the woman's face.
With a crisp symphony, the light of the sword skyrocketed, smashing the sword that stabbed out, but its body also flew out as if struck by lightning.
"This sword is forged in combination with the dragon veins of the Seven Continents of Mow Lei. I think you won't feel bad about this blow."
A tall man slowly stepped out of the sedan chair. Its face is cold and severe, and there is a shocking aura on its body, it seems that it has been in a high position for a long time.
"Who the hell are you here, and why did you attack this official?" He waved his hand down, and the guards beside him stepped forward one after another, holding the iron rope in his hand, ready to take the woman down for interrogation.
Humph.
A mouthful of blood spit out from her mouth, and the woman in the rainstorm still did not open her mouth to explain, but raised the knife again, her eyes gradually condensed.
"kill!"
The same crimson-gold veins flashed on the goose ling knives in the hands of these guards, and then scorching red like fiery iron, they slashed at the woman with a wave.
The sound of metal symphony sounded one after another on the street. Compared with just now, the strength of this woman seemed to have weakened a lot. For a while, there was a stalemate, and she could not take down these guards quickly.
In this short period of time, the guards who were protecting the high-ranking official from the back took out powerful crossbows from the bottom side of the sedan chair and aimed them at the figure who was tearing up. The wolf spit out sharp crossbow arrows from its mouth.
[Greeding Wolf Crossbow] (Silver Grade, Rare): It is a subordinate institution of the Winter Official in the Plantagenet Dynasty, built by Jicefang, and used by the military.
Seeing that the six Greedy Wolf Crossbows had finished charging up, Guanghua gradually restrained himself, exuding a dangerous aura. The woman who was torn apart in the rainstorm moved faster and faster, as if she was looking for an opportunity to escape.
Ah - there are snakes!
The crossbow arrow on the Greedy Wolf Crossbow turned into a hidden silver light piercing the night sky, and I didn't know where to fly, but the sergeants with the strong crossbows just struggled and shouted in horror, and the crossbows in their hands also fell to the ground.
I don't know when, there are some tiny black shadows in the rain on the ground. These shadows are like black and red long snakes that have shrunk countless times, clinging up along their ankles, and the tiny fangs in their mouths are like needles, embedded in the flesh and blood, injecting toxins. , so that the middle person is like madness.
It's not that these guards are not strong-willed, it's just that these thin snakes are really weird, making people feel cold.
In the alley next to the street, Roland Hill stood on tiptoe, looked at the little snake swimming in the water under his feet, and meditated in his heart.
Snakes and snakes don't come here. I am most afraid of snakes, especially the kind of small snakes that are easy to appear unexpectedly.
At this time, she did not dare to use any extraordinary power to drive her away, for fear of attracting the attention of both parties, so she held her breath, prayed secretly in her heart, and looked nervously at the tiny snake shadows swimming in the rain under her feet.
Fortunately, the alleys are not as dense as the snakes in the streets. In addition, these snakes seem to be attracted by blood, and the places without blood are relatively stable.
The situation on the street was reversed in an instant after the snake shadows appeared. The guards who had the upper hand were poisoned and fell down, curled up in the rain, their bodies twitched and their mouths screamed.
Without the obstruction of these guards, the woman raised the Hemiao long knife again and attacked the official standing in front of the sedan chair. There were also many small snakes around the official, but under his stomping, a small ring expanded, separating these small snakes like an invisible air wall. But from the looks of it, this kind of move seems to have some restrictions, so that he can't move at will.
Seeing the long knife slashing down the rain,
Rain on the blade cut into the man in a dangerous thin line.
His eyes sank, and he took out a golden stone token from his arms and directly blocked the long knife that came from the surprise.
The long knife, which was originally a mortal object, was somewhat damaged in the previous encounter. Under such a heavy blow, it disintegrated immediately, and the mutilated fragments slid across the man's cheek, leaving a bloody trace on his face.
The woman who lost the long knife was not surprised. She seemed to be well prepared. She stretched out her left hand, which had been on her side, and changed its trajectory in an instant, avoiding the blocking token and grabbing the opponent's neck.
It's a pity that at the last moment, the hand that had been like iron clamps still blocked its trajectory and held it up.
The tall man felt that although this hand was rough on the outside, the bones on the inside were very soft, not like an ordinary girl in a mountain village, but like a girl from a good family who played the piano.
Just as he was about to kick the woman away and question him again, the hand held in the palm of his palm suddenly changed, piercing into the palm of his hand like a spider peck, and a blue spider like a human face flashed on the back of the hand.
An extremely cold energy spread to the whole body along the palm of the hand, and the body seemed to have suddenly reached the extremely cold place in the north, freezing to the bone. The man looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, and wanted to say something, but his body was no longer stable, as if he had lost all his strength and slowly fell down.
His vision swept across the dripping night sky, and everything in front of him began to darken, and his vision gradually declined until he saw a scar on the side of the woman's abdomen, where there seemed to be a huge cross wound, the remaining traces after stitching Still clear.
"Cough cough... It turned out to be you, huh." His voice was hoarse, and then he was no longer angry, but closed his eyes as if resigning, and fell into the pool of blood flowing in the rain.
Looking at the fallen man, the woman stood quietly in the rain for a moment, then turned to leave and disappeared into the rainstorm.
And Roland Hill, who was hiding by the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was entangled again at this moment. Should I go out to report to the official at this time, and will I be mistaken for my party, after all, I really can't tell the origin of my life.
Fortunately, her entanglement didn't bother her for too long, and a loud shout came out from the street.
"Someone is attacking an official, killing someone!"
