Chapter 22: A Flashback

At this moment, the entire Longteng Hall is immersed in an ethereal and ethereal piano sound, and the square and unpretentious hall is faintly illusioned by the rendering of this piano sound.

Sitting in the center of the hall, the slender onion fingers of the girl in the pink skirt plucked the strings, this song is called "Yang Chun White Snow", the sound of the piano is clear, the style of the song is brisk, and people think of a picture of spring coming, everything recovers, the warm sun shines on the ground, and the ice and snow melt.

The main seat of the hall and the places on both sides of the hall sat some burly and sturdy rough men, with bronze or dark skin, so that such a delicate and delicate girl sitting in the center of the hall seemed out of place.

However, the existence of the woman really made this originally somewhat monotonous and boring hall a little more antique, a little more bright and light.

This is the fifth song played by Xuanniao, and after the first four songs, these people have no intention of listening, so she has to play the fifth song again. Under the fence, the host's family wants to listen to the music, and she has no reason to let it have fun.

But after playing the fifth song "Spring and White Snow", there will be no longer a sixth song, and everything has a degree.

After a while, Xuanniao got up, pretended to be tired and rubbed his temples, and said in a somewhat tired voice, "Brother Yuntian, brothers Longteng, Xuanniao is a little tired and wants to go back to rest, let's stop the matter of Fuqin today, how about it?"

"Let's play another song, Xuanniao girl," Guan Yuntian said with a smile.

The other brothers also coaxed, "Let's play another song!"

Xuanniao hesitated for a while, and insisted, "In order to let the brothers have fun, I have already played five songs, and now I am tired, and Brother Yuntian still wants me to play, is it inevitable that some strong people will find it difficult?"

"Haha, okay, I'm careless, in that case, Miss Xuanniao should go back to the room to rest first!" Guan Yuntian said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Yuntian, thank you, brothers," Xuanniao gave Guan Yuntian and the others a blessing salute and slowly retreated.

"Come on brother, send the Xuanniao girl back to the room!" Guan Yuntian said.

Looking at the back of Xuanniao's departure, Guan Yuntian and the others kept smiling, and after Xuanniao walked away, a Longteng brother asked, "Big brother, are you really... Decided?"

"With such a beauty and treasure, why hesitate?" Guan Yuntian didn't want to say.

"Also, big brother is bold!"

"Hehe, it's not worth mentioning. If you were in my position, and one day you suddenly encountered such a great gift from God, I would not hesitate to try to find it," Guan Yuntian said with a smile.

At night, Qi Qi, Jin Luan and Zhao Gang camped in a dense forest. The three of them hid their goods in a secret place, blocked them with bushes, and sat down against the mountain wall.

Zhao Gang threw two pieces of dry food to Qi Qi, "Brother Qi Qi, eat something." โ€

"Thank you," Qi Qi took the dry food and hugged his fists.

Jin Luan subconsciously reached out to pick it up, and immediately realized how Zhao Gang would give him food, but before he could withdraw his hand, Zhao Gang had already glared at her first, and said to himself, "It's not your share, don't think about it!"

Jin Luan was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Bastard!"

"Eat me," At this time, a warm voice sounded, Jin Luan looked over, Qi Qi, who was dressed in brown, smiled faintly and handed over a piece of dry food, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and the smile was not faint, because of the battle during the day, the brown clothes were stained with a lot of blood, but it was difficult to hide the faint elegance on his body.

Jin Luan's heartbeat missed half a beat for a moment, and his face turned red when he "rubbed" the ground, forgetting to respond.

"Jinluan?" Qi Qi shouted again.

"Uh... Oh! Thank you..."Jin Luan came back to his senses and took the dry food handed by Qi Qi with a red face.

"Hehe," Seeing Jinluan's overwhelmed appearance, Qi Qi couldn't help but smile.

As a result, the red glow on Jinluan's face became even thicker.

"Brother Qi Qi, what are you doing to her?" Zhao Gang next to him said dissatisfiedly.

"As a man, you can't starve other girls, right?" Qi Qi said.

"If you want this, I won't give you an extra piece," Zhao Gang threatened.

"It's okay," Qi Qi smiled faintly, "I can't eat so much, so it's okay to give her a piece." โ€

"You...!this...!hey..."Zhao Gang was incoherent, and finally sighed.

Seeing this, Jinluan felt a little self-reproach in his heart, and returned the dry food to Qi Qi, "It's better for you to eat, I'm not hungry." โ€

"Okay, don't talk stupid, how can you not be hungry after such a long journey?" Qi Qi didn't reach out to pick up the dry food handed over by Jinluan.

"Butโ€”" Jinluan.

"Eat," Qi Qi interrupted, "If you want to give it back to me, I dare to lose it, do you believe it or not?"

"Huh?" Jin Luan was taken aback and stared at Qi Qi blankly. I didn't expect Qi Qi to say such tough words, not that I felt that Qi Qi had a weak temperament, but that my impression of him was a humble gentleman.

After a while, seeing that Qi Qi didn't look like he was joking, Jinluan had to take back the dry food and eat it.

Neither of them said any more, concentrating on eating.

Suddenly, a piece of dry food was thrown into Qi Qi's hand, it was thrown by Zhao Gang, he didn't say anything, he also threw a piece to Jinluan with an expressionless face, and continued to bury his head in eating.

Qi Qi and Jin Luan were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and read the smile in each other's eyes that could not be concealed.

After a while, Qi Qi finished eating first, got up and said, "You continue to eat, I'll go fetch some water." โ€

"I'm done eating, I'll go too!" Jin Luan said as he stood up and patted his clothes.

Qi Qi's eyes were like torches, and he saw the dry food hidden in the grass by Jinluan, and said with a smile, "You continue to eat, I'll be alone." โ€

"It's okay to come back and eat again, let's go!" Jin Luan straightened his chest forward, and took a brisk step to take the first step on his own.

The appearance of jumping out made Qi Qi lose his mind for a moment, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled back to a certain point in time in the past.

A shadow that also jumped out of the lively like the brocade in front of him came to mind, with a voice and a smile, just like in front of him.

Qi Qi's heart was agitated, and he began to shake his head constantly, trying to expel the picture that wantonly occupied his mind, if he allowed that picture to always occupy his mind, he would definitely return to the state of confusion like in the past.

That's not what that person wants to see.

Jin Luan, who was walking in front, found that Qi Qi hadn't kept up, and couldn't help but look back, and saw Qi Qi in a trance as if he was in a daze, and immediately startled, hurriedly ran to Qi Qi's side, stretched out his hand and waved in front of Qi Qi's eyes, and called, "Qi Qi, Qi Qi, Qi Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, all his thoughts dissipated and shattered, Qi Qi's whole body was shocked, and he finally came back to his senses.

A feeling of prostration spread all over the body, no weaker than after a fight, I touched my back, only to find that the clothes on my back were also soaked in cold sweat at some point.

"Qi Qi?" Jin Luan said worriedly.

Qi Qi heard the voice, looked at Jinluan, and squeezed out a smile, "It's okay, let's go." โ€

"You just... What's wrong...?your face... It's so bad..."Jin Luan said as he looked at Qi Qi's pale cheeks.

"Don't ask," Qi Qi's tone was as resolute as ice.

Jin Luan was frightened by Qi Qi's appearance, and was a little stunned, she couldn't have imagined that Qi Qi, who was usually as light as water, would have such a cold appearance that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

She didn't ask anymore with interest, and she didn't want to ask in distress, no matter what happened just now, that thing must be a scar that Qi Qi didn't want to be revealed.

It's so distressing...

Looking at Qi Qi like this, she thought in her heart.

So, the two of them had their own hearts, one after the other, Qi Qi in front and Jin Luan in the back, carrying water bags to the nearby river.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the light and shadow of the crescent moon in the sky are reflected on the water surface of the river, perhaps because of the proximity to the water, the green plants around the river are extraordinarily lush.

Qi Qi had two water bags in his hand, filled one bag for himself in the river, drank enough, filled it again, and then filled another water bag belonging to Zhao Gang.

At a certain moment, he looked to the side very casually, this was just a subconscious behavior, but at this glance, he saw Jinluan staring at him intently, he saw Jinluan's wide apricot eyes flashing with a bright halo, crystal clear, and he didn't know if it was because the moon in the sky was reflected in her eyes, or if her eyes were like this.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter? It's time to fetch water." โ€

The voyeur was discovered, and Jin Luan retracted his gaze in a daze, and said a little unnaturally, "No... It's okay, I'm fighting. โ€

After a while, both of them made water, and Qi Qigang thought "Let's go together", and Jin Luan ran away like a rabbit by himself.

After returning to the camp, Qi Qi handed the water bag to Zhao Gang, and Zhao Gang said "thank you".

Qi Qi sat back in his place and said to the two, "I'll take care of the wind tonight, you two will rest first, and after an hour at midnight, Brother Zhao Gang, you will change me." โ€

Zhao Gang took a sip of water and said, "No, it's better for Brother Qi Qi to rest first, in the daytime fight, you consume the most, and I can withstand it." โ€

Jin Luan also turned his gaze to this side, watching the conversation between Qi Qi and Zhao Gang.

Qi Qi didn't follow, and said in a somewhat stubborn tone, "I'll come, you rest, you are tired from the daytime fighting." โ€

"This..."Zhao Gang groaned, and after a while, seeing that Qi Qi still showed no signs of letting go, he had to agree, "Then I will sleep until midnight for an hour, and then I will come, and Brother Qi Qi must go to rest." โ€

"Hmm," Qi Qi nodded.

Seeing that Qi Qi and Zhao Gang had finalized the matter like this, Jin Luan was a little worried, she saw everything during the day, whether it was the consumption of Qi Qi or the injuries he suffered, he did not support him not to go to bed early at night. But because she had tasted the power of "Cold Ice Qi Qi" just now, she didn't want to touch it again, so now she had to suppress the thoughts in her heart and only pray that staying up late would not aggravate Qi Qi's injury.

"You can sleep too," at this moment, Qi Qi turned his head to look at Jinluan and said to her.

Jin Luan shook his head, "I can't sleep, just accompany you." โ€

Qi Qi saw through Jinluan's mind at a glance, "People who practice martial arts, what they are best at is centering, no matter what emotions you have in your heart, you can suppress them, why can't you sleep?"

"I..." Jinluan was in trouble.

"Sleep, don't worry about me, and don't have to accompany me. If I take care of the wind for you, you don't take the opportunity to rest and recover your strength, and when you want to replace you later, how can you do it?" Qi Qi reproached.

"Okay, in that case, then I'll go to sleep first, and if you can't stand it, wake me up immediately, and I'll replace you," Jin Luan said.

Qi Qi refused to accompany her in the first half of the sentence, and she felt very lost, but in the second half, it made her feel a lot more comfortable. Qi Qi said, "When you want to change you in the future, how can you do it", didn't he recognize her identity from the side, if he couldn't trust her, how could he ask her to take the lead?

Thinking of this, in the end, the comfort in his heart was better than sadness, and Jinluan was no longer sad, so he fell asleep obediently without saying a word.

Soon, Zhao Gang and Jin Luan both fell asleep.

Qi Qi leaned against the mountain wall and began to meditate, his legs crossed, his eyes closed, and after a few breaths, the vitality of heaven and earth began to gather towards him, entering his body, warming his bones and flesh.

His injuries, as well as the loss of physical strength, recovered little by little......
