Chapter 2 Three Suns 1-2
Three Suns 1-2 Was this woman crazy? Seeing her rush at him with her sword, Shu Helun tucked his hair behind his ear and prepared to catch her first swing. "Go fast to the left!" It was a girl’s voice, different from the fierce woman rushing him, and it suddenly sounded behind him, clear as a whistle. "Who?" Shu Helun was shocked, but instinctively listened to the girl's words and leaped to the left. Boom! A fist-sized ball fell to the right, not far away from where he was, and burst open. Sparks splashed. The boy knew that the enemy leader had deliberately said she wanted to revenge her hatred, but in fact, by attracting his attention to her emotions, she had secretly released this strange weapon. If no one had brought it to his attention, the power of the fire might have blown him up and broke his arm, if not worse. Should he attack or retreat? Although he was unharmed, Shu Helun felt he'd hardly won. If he had an army at hand, he would not be so upset. He wanted to look back at his savior, to see who she was. The enemy soldiers had divided into three branches and pursued him, so he chose to temporarily retreat. "After him!" The scream of the female leader was even crazier. "As soon as you get close to him, immediately throw out the red beads. He was lucky to escape once. It is impossible to avoid them a second time!" Red beads were the spherical weapons that exploded just now? The boy started to run wildly. "Follow me!" A slim yet strong hand grabbed his left wrist. He turned back and recognized her from the sound. This person was the girl who saved him just now. Her face was covered with a black veil and he could not see her well. "The back army is lined up, and the former army and the middle army were divided into three rows lengthwise. You're surrounded. Even if you are good at fighting, if you fight against one of the three rows, the other two will immediately attack on both sides. Even if you could fight the three rows at the same time, you will no longer have hands to deal with the back line. When you tire, you'll be in danger. You will never see the person you want to, but you'll lose your life here." "Do you know my friend?" The girl's words made him wonder, and what surprised him even more was that in such a critical moment, her tone was extremely calm and unsettled. "Talk to you later about this." She pulled him and charged down the path. "Where are we going?" "A place they absolutely cannot go." It was a small, maze-like trail hidden in the red pine forest. When he went deeper, Shu Helun heard the sound of a pheasant somewhere in the mountains. He discovered that the further into the trees the two of them went, the weaker the voices of their pursuers got, eventually disappearing. "Did we get rid of them?" the boy asked the girl next to him, sighing. "No, but they don't dare walk into this red pine forest. They don't know there is a small road that leads to the tribal territory of Yaoyang in the mountains." The girl turned back and the stars’ light shed on her face, revealing two thin, curved eyebrows. Her eyes seemed to smile, like two warm, new moons. "You are who Shuo Qi said—Helen, the guard in his house?" "Oh . . . yes," the boy replied slyly, pursing his lips. Mind yourself, good boy, he thought. Concealing your identity and telling people that I am your guard? Since you have guards, you are from a royal or noble family. This girl is so smart; whom does you think you can deceive? Facing his rescuer in front of him, he wanted first to say thanks. He raised his fists and bowed to the girl. "No need to thank me." The girl covered her mouth and yawned, then raised her arms and stretched. "If it was not for your friend, I wouldn't bother saving you. Too tiresome." "To be honest, lady, you say this...this is too honest for me to continue the talk with you." Shu Helun wanted to say that she said was so reluctant to save him, but he did not know how to continue the dialog. "By the way, I haven't figured out what has happened after all this." “Where should I start?” The girl touched her chin as she thought. "One day not long ago, a kid strayed into our Yaoyang mountain boundary. Because he didn't recognize the road, he went to the place where the rocks collapse. His left hand was crushed when a stone fell from the top of the mountain." Shu Helun's face showed amazement. "What? His hand is broken?" "Look at you. I haven't finished yet," the girl said with a giggle. "A forearm fracture is not a serious injury. My brother has reset the broken arm and put medicine on it. With the medical attention and good rest every day, he will recover soon. " "Your brother is a doctor?" "It's not a serious illness! No need to have a doctor. We, the Yaoyang people, know medicines well. We treat ordinary bruises and minor illnesses ourselves." "It turns out that . . ." Shu Helun sighed in his heart. When he was a child, his mother mentioned some things about the Yaoyang people, including their weird but brilliant medical skills. For example, a brain hemorrhage was a deadly condition, but a Yaoyang doctor could quickly prevent it from getting worse at the time of the attack. After good care, the person could even recover completely and never have it again. He heard that the founding emperor of the former dynasty had died of this condition because the Yaoyang doctor came too late. “Let me take you to see your friend now. I am too tired and thirsty to say much." The girl untied the water canteen at her waist and drank. The Yaoyang people, all of them, were so peculiar. Could they have two souls living in the same body? Shu Helun felt dizzy in his head. At first, he thought that the fierce female leader seemed rude, but was deceived. Now, this girl was obviously quite intelligent, and she told him her story excitedly, but at the end, she suddenly changed to boring. It was really ridiculous for her to have no energy. "Young lady, you . . . wouldn't be an ordinary person of the tribe?" He seemed to guess something. "The former leader of the family, Yunyin, is my father." The girl stopped walking. "The enemy you met was my sister-in-law. You kicked her and she went back to my brother and said that he should help her to take revenge. At that time, Shuo Qi happened to hear them talking and told me that the boy with amazing leg strength must be his friend, and that I should go to stop it. Although I don't like these kinds of tasks, I didn't want him to be in danger when he was recovering." Shu Helun was stunned. Yunyin—of course he had heard of this name. It was the name that even his mother and all the Marshals of the Warriors of the Kingdom Rui would be shocked to hear. It was said that this person looked like a weak scholar, but no one could take even one inch of territory he wanted to protect. "Anyway, thank you for the help. Please take me to see Shuo Qi." He secretly thought, Young lady of the lord's family, I owe you a favor. "Wait, your sister-in-law and those people really won't chase me?" "Of course, this road leads to my father's grave. If not the day of the memorial, except for mother and me, even my brother can't come here without permission, because he is an adopted child." "It's a forbidden place. But you brought me in today. What will happen?" "What's going to happen? There are no ghosts here. Won't it be better to leave soon? The rules of the family state that outsiders should not be allowed to break in, never mention that insiders not bring in outsiders." The boy’s lips closed tightly and his head felt faint. The fierce battle that almost killed him actually brought such an easy result. . . "Hey, don't go so fast. I haven't asked your name yet! Well, if I take Shuo Qi away from here and tell them your name, no one will stop me!" He chased after her. The girl turned her head and removed the veil from her face, revealing a bright look. "My name is Yun Duan’er."
