What burden is worth as much as___?
“Alright, let me tell you the story of a thief. Please listen carefully."
He was the leader of a group of thieves. A long time ago, in an era when the country was in chaos.
Many people speak of its clan as the hope of rescuing the kingdom from tyrannical rule.
They have rules. that is, they would only take it from corrupt nobles and merchants. and must distribute the goods to all suffering people
Of course, they were always fighting against the kingdom's military forces. Killing breeds deep resentment. The soldiers hated them very much.
They are the same way.
This hatred was so deep-rooted that it spread to the people until the kingdom was split in two between the villagers who loved their clans. and those who cannot forgive their actions
It was half a year ago. The kingdom has serious plans to deal with them. They set a bounty and sent spies and armies to spread it across the land.
They, knowing the situation, had to leave their main job and decided to find comfort in the great entertainment area of Flame Strait City.
Hua Ba, in order to spend time happily hiding away from the sky nets of the empire that were sown all over the land. Because this place was halfway between the border of their home kingdom and the neighboring rival kingdom.
It remembers very well.
That luxurious liquor sharpener with sky-high ceilings. It was meeting her for the first time.
His solemn expression and thick green armor did not suit that handsome face. His thin lips, even though they weren't decorated with vermilion, still looked passionate. A face that hadn't touched any cosmetic powder yet looked very bright. Especially the round, dotted eyes and thin eyebrows that are always trying to show their hot emotions.
They really don't fit together.
When people walk by He couldn't help but let out a small, amused sound. The story of him and her began there.
from a clash It turned into a quarrel in the liquor store. Continue until the battle is finally fought.
They fought for months.
It fought while escaping. Never used force to directly affect each other. Maybe because he didn't want something bad to happen.
And the end result often ends in a showdown between the leaders. Meanwhile, the subordinates chased each other far away.
Their battles never knew the outcome. And the chase doesn't seem to end at all.
Each time he met her, he had an unspeakable feeling. The first time the swords collided, He admitted that he saw anger and malice in her eyes, but at this time, he only saw a young woman who was trying to block her hesitation.
Several encounters had already cracked the girl's heart.
It is said that fierce swordsmanship comes from a resolute mind. The nosy young thief stabbed his sword in a straight line with a cloud-breaking move. Instead, she let his sword pass past her face and swung it diagonally from bottom to top, an extremely terrifying move. So he had to dodge his sword and roll it to hit her wrist.
Seriously!! Unexpectedly, her sword flew out and stuck on the ground.
The tip of his sword was pointed at her neck.
He knew that if her sword from just a moment ago had been a little faster, the outcome of the battle would have been reversed.
A young woman stood in front of him, soaked in the rain, waiting for her own death. She didn't even meet his eyes.
"Deal with me, thief."
“Why should I deal with you? Not when you don't even have the will to fight."
"Or will you not honor me as a soldier?"
"Oh, honor? A soldier? Have you ever thought about what your protection of those filthy people will do to your people?”
“Don't you forget that a kingdom comes from the people. Protecting those who extort them is like bringing downfall to the kingdom.”
“Dare to speak, you evil thief. You have desecrated the laws of the country. Do you still have the face to tell me that you are doing this for the sake of the kingdom and the people?” She said, but the look in his eyes now was very confusing.
He lowered his sword, sending only a sad look back at her.
Right and wrong really depends on people's perspectives. As in the case of him and her
A young thief and a young general in the rain..
“I will leave. Let it be considered that we have broken up with each other in this way.”
She didn't say anything, just bowed her head. The falling raindrops caused his long black hair to fall onto his face.
“It has been five months since we fought. I want us to be able to break up for once. My heart doesn't want to hurt you. Because I love jade and cherish flowers like no other man.”
"Heh, do you love jade? Preserve flowers? You're brave." A long, razor-sharp knife cut through the rain straight into his chest. His sudden deflection caused the knife to sink into his left arm. Wrist bite index His claws clawed and shoved her around. His right hand pulled out the knife and pointed it at her neck.
The female general was once again on the brink of death.
"Why! Tell me why. You know I don't want to fight with you. But then you still try to manipulate me again and again. Do you really hate me that much? Don't you have any idea how I feel?"
“Oh, I give in. Take your knife. If you want to take this little life, please.” He grabbed the knife and forced it into her hand.
The rain hits my face, it's so cold But who knew that the young man's heart was smoldering like a fire from the world?
"I hate myself so much."
“And I really hate you. I hate making me weak like this. I hate having to admit it.
The reason I've been chasing you all this time is because of me.
I want to meet........with you."
The little face turned and stared into its eyes.
This could be called a trembling look in his eyes.
and a hot fire in my chest It rose up like no one could resist it. Whether it's right or wrong or any duty whatsoever
Burning in the midst of the cold rain Cut them off from the tangled threads that hold them together.
Those lips, although somewhat dry, were extremely soft.
The warmth from their bodies caused steam to rise up every time they breathed on each other.
Those tongues still caressed each other without stopping. Like a hungry newborn trying to squeeze milk from its mother.
The heavy armor fell one by one.
Even if taking off your clothes makes you feel cold But what do you care about?
When the warmth of your body is close to mine
The old man's face was red from the reflection of the fire. He picked up a glass of dry liquor and hugged it and looked dazed.
The children sitting around the fire were confused, wondering what had happened and why this old man was acting so sloppy. Some lowered their heads and closed their eyes, not knowing if it was because the story was embarrassing or if they fell asleep because the story was boring.
“Grandpa, are you telling children about adult love stories again?”
“Whoa, Xiao Li. This one really lacks imagination. Things like this will help open the eyes of children.”
“Because you only tell stories like this. Children grow old with the sun and wind very quickly."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" A cheerful voice floated along on the wind. Inviting those who don't even know the meaning to shout out their joy.
The atmosphere in the warm little alley in Luoyang City today was still as lively as ever.
But who knows what secrets the heart of an old man might hide?
