Chapter 2 The Lady of the Sweet Spring

In the early morning, the girl on the stone platform woke up, and at this moment her head was very heavy, as if she had been beaten with a stick on her head and forgot something, a little empty, and a little lost. But the feeling didn't last long before it was replaced by a feeling of extreme hunger. The smell of broth wafting from nowhere immediately attracted all her attention.

The maiden saw that the place where she was a cave, with dead trees and living water, and a bonfire had been set up in the clearing not far away, and on the bonfire was a pot of steaming broth!

She instinctively walked towards the soup pot, fortunately there was no one around, I don't know who thoughtfully put the dishes and chopsticks on the ground, she picked up the soup spoon and scooped a bowl of broth, regardless of the soup was still very hot, she drank a few big sips, a bowl of hot soup in the stomach, she exhaled with satisfaction, ready to scoop another bowl, suddenly saw a pair of black boots in front of her, frightened her staggered, almost fell to the ground, but was held by a pair of hands in time.

When the girl looked up, she saw a black skull face, two black hole-like eyes, staring at her like a cannibal, she let out an "ah", stepped back and shouted, "You, who are you?"

"You, you really don't remember me?" asked Skull Face softly.

Seeing that the person in front of her was just wearing a skull mask, and speaking softly and kindly, the girl's tense nerves relaxed a lot, and as soon as the other party asked, she recalled it vigorously, and her head, which had been clouded since she woke up, seemed to have been awakened, and in a moment of lightning, she remembered something all of a sudden!

"How, do you remember?" When Liu Qingming sealed Hong Ningxiang's memory, he deliberately kept the scene where he rescued her from the vulture demon's mouth, just to leave an unforgettable first impression in her heart.

"Youβ€”you saved me, you're my savior?!" the girl blurted out.

"Just remember. Liu Qingming was not surprised by her reaction, lifted her robe, sat on the ground, picked up the soup spoon and added a new bowl of soup to her, "Your body is still very weak, this broth has a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum added to it, drink more, and your body will recover quickly." However, fortunately, this is the soup I boiled, and the next time, if you change the soup and rice cooked by someone else, you can't eat and drink it so carelessly. ”

The girl said "oh", holding the soup bowl in her hand, squinting and taking a sip, and said softly, "I understand what you mean, you saved me, since you saved me, why did you harm me?

Liu Qingming's hand scooping the soup slammed into it.

-- At this moment, Xiang'er has been sealed with memories for most of her life, away from pain and resentment, so she has returned to her original innocent and carefree nature, and even the most basic heart of defense has been lost, is it fortunate or unfortunate......? Isn't that what he wants?

After a while, Liu Qing said in a silent voice: "In short, girls are outside, it's always right to be careful." ”

After drinking the broth, the girl felt full of strength, and even regained her vitality when she spoke: "I understand what you said." But look at me, my clothes are torn and old, and now I am wounded, and I don't even have anything of value on my body, and I don't remember anything about my whole body? I don't remember, who I have offended, who I have harmed, and I really can't think of who would waste a bag of poison for me? Perhaps, after poisoning me, people will find that I have no treasure on me, and they will regret it to death. Hehe. Covering his mouth and laughing.

-- Bing Xue is smart and heartless! Is this how this girl grew up when she was a child? However, it's okay this way, and if you are smart, you will not suffer.

Liu Qingming was speechless for a while, but soon, he said in a harmonious voice: "Not for money, not for hatred, what if it's for sex?"

"Lust?" the girl blinked, "Are you kidding? ”

"You come with me!" Looking at her unconscious smiling face, Liu Qingming burst into flames, snatched her bowl, and pulled her to the edge of the waterhole in front of her.

The living water flowed out of the hole and merged into a pool of water in the hollow, and the surface of the water was like a mirror, reflecting the shadows of the two men.

The man was long, and his flowing white hair was particularly eye-catching, which made the girl dizzy for a while.

After a moment, she saw that in the clear water, standing next to the man was a petite and delicate girl.

"Look closely. Liu Qingming pointed to the water.

"There's nothing to see!" she sparked her face left and right, "just like you, with eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth, barely seeing." It's okay to look so good, what to do, I don't want to get into trouble. ”

"Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? I'm not talking about your looks, if you look closely, you really can't see anything?"

How could she be heartless and heartless to this point?

He pulled her close to the water, "You see clearly, who is the person in the water?"

"Of course it isβ€”" The girl finished speaking, and her black and white round eyes slowly widened, and she was suddenly stunned.

Why is this girl's face so unfamiliar?

If this teenage girl is her, then who is she?

An inexplicable fear came over her, and the girl murmured unconsciously, "Yes, I, who am I?"

Liu Qingming stood behind her and looked at her quietly.

She suddenly realized something, turned around and grabbed him by the sleeve: "Why did you make me look in the mirror? Why did you let me look at myself? Do you know who I am?"

Liu Qingming still looked at her silently, wanting to see how many things she could remember.

"Say, you say!" the girl was anxious and afraid, and her eyes were covered with moisture, "You must know!

Liu Qingming reached out and pressed her trembling shoulder, "You, believe me or not?"

The girl's excited emotions calmed down a little because of his words, and nodded, "If you save me, you won't hurt me again, I naturally believe you." ”

"In that case, let me come and tell me. Liu Qingming walked back to the fire, and the girl followed quickly.

Liu Qingming took out a basket from the Qiankun bag and put it in front of her.

"What is this?"

"This is the basket in which you pick herbs. Liu Qingming said slowly, "Five days ago, you were picking herbs above the cliff, accidentally stumbled and fell off the cliff, I saw it with my own eyes, I wanted to save you, but it was too late, fortunately there is a deep pool below, so you didn't fall to your death, and then I flew down to save you from the pool, who knows, not long after, I met the vulture demon and wanted to eat you, so I rescued you again, and then took you back to this cave to recuperate." ”

"But why don't I remember the medicine at all?" the girl was even more confused.

"The cliff is too high, your head hits a stone in the water, you may have bruises in your brain, you may have broken your head, and some things naturally you can't remember. ”

"Thank you for saving me, but why? Did we know each other before?"

"Before this, I knew you, but you didn't know me. Liu Qingming said seriously.

His seriousness was reflected in the skeleton's face, which looked particularly serious, and the girl was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You...... Are you kidding? What is there in me that deserves you to follow me? And sneak around, don't let me know?"

Liu Qingming's eyes darkened, "I'll only say it once, you listen well." ”

"Uh-huh. The girl immediately listened.

"Your real name is Tian Xiang'er, you live in Ganquan Village, Ganquan Mountain, your father and mother are still alive, and you have a younger brother, so to speak, a happy family of four. Liu Qing said calmly, "The reason why I noticed you is because of a spiritual root test held in Ganquan Village last month, and any child who passed the test will be selected to cultivate immortals in Ganquan Palace. At that time, I was entrusted to find a child with good qualifications among mortals, so I happened to pass by here, so I stayed in the village to watch the test. And you took the test at that time, but I didn't expect that among all the children in the village, you are the only one with the only double spirit root, the water and soil double spirit root, and the qualification is the best. ”

"I must not have been chosen, otherwise I would have ended up in this place and broken my head, and I don't even remember what happened. Tian Xiang'er pouted, "But my qualifications are so good, how could I lose the election?"

"Because your brother is a fool. Liu Qingming said softly.

"Fool?" Tian Xiang'er was stunned, and it seemed that it was difficult to digest this fact.

Liu Qingming slowed down his voice, "You secretly ran out to test behind your father's mother and younger brother's back, but when the people from Ganquan Palace wanted to take you away, your brother refused to let you go, and you were so entangled by him that you had no choice, so you had to give up this opportunity in the end." ”

"This Tian Xiang'er is really stupid! Anyway, my younger brother is a fool, just make up any reason, coax him, and then secretly follow the people of Ganquan Palace away, why do you want my younger brother to know? I think my sister is reluctant to give up my brother. Tian Xiang'er nodded while analyzing, feeling that what she said was very reasonable.

"Not bad. Tian Xiang'er refused to leave, indeed because she couldn't rest assured of her younger brother. Your brother's name is Tian Yuan, he is often bullied by the children in the village, and his body is weak, he almost grew up soaked in a medicine jar, in order to raise him, his father broke his heart, your father used to roll off the cliff and hurt his leg when he was collecting medicine, and your mother was not in good health, so the whole family is supported by you. If you're gone, who else will take care of him?"

Liu Qingming sighed, "This time, you came here to collect medicine in order to earn money so that you could buy some tonic medicine for your brother. I know that you didn't go to Ganquan Palace, so I have been secretly following you, trying to find a suitable opportunity to persuade you to follow me into the immortal gate, but I didn't expect you to fall from the cliff. ”

Hearing this, Tian Xiang'er suddenly woke up, "Okay, it turns out that you have been beating my idea! You saved me because you also wanted me to owe you a favor, so you can persuade me to go with you, isn't it?"

Liu Qing looked at her delicate appearance and smiled a little: "I did think so at first, but later, when I saw you fall into the water and be injured by the vulture demon, I couldn't bear it, I came to save you completely out of instinct, not as complicated as you thought." ”

In his heart, whether it is the generation of female devils he cultivated with his own hands - Hong Ningxiang, or today's ordinary Ganquan lady - Tian Xiang'er, they are all the same person, the woman he loves, everything he does is to protect her and make her live well.

He couldn't help but tap her forehead, "Say you broke your head, but you're so smart!

"It's obvious that the person wearing the ghost mask is you, and you are the ghost, okay?!" Tian Xiang'er retorted sharply, "Why are you wearing such an ugly mask?"

She reached out to pull his mask, but Liu Qingming grabbed her wrist, and looked at her fixedly with dark eyes, "You want to see me?"

"Uh-huh!" Tian Xiang'er nodded again and again.

The corners of Liu Qingming's mouth curled: "My true face, not everyone is qualified to see it." If you want to see it, you have to promise me one thing, and when it's done, I'll show it to you. ”

"Cut! Stinky beauty!" Tian Xiang'er rolled her eyes, unable to resist the curiosity of a cat, and said with a smile, "However, let's hear it, if I can do it, I will consider it." ”
