Chapter Forty-Eight: Snow Shadows

The night had darkened.

It always gets dark early in October.

Snow Shadow hugged Lingxi and staggered into the courtyard of a farmhouse along the way.

Because both of them are masters, they didn't expect to encounter calculations this time, and the twenty guards they brought were all mediocre in martial arts, and none of them were spared this time, and the two of them didn't care about seeing death as if they were home, and escaped from the ninjas.

This time, those ninjas were obviously determined to take the lives of both of them, and they kept chasing them.

"We can't hide it, they can smell blood. Lingxi whispered, she was hit by a sword in the back, fortunately not hurt, but a lot of blood flowed.

Snow Shadow let go of a hand holding Lingxi, looked at the bloodstained on it, and shook his head.

"You put me down and go by yourself, I'm Mr. Luo's granddaughter, they won't kill me. ”

"They will. Snow Shadow's voice was calm, and while motioning for Lingxi not to speak, she drew her sword and stabbed at the sound not far away in her surprised eyes.

――――――

Many ninjas had followed the smell of blood to the walls of the farmhouse.

"Is this the case?" asked the one with a superior sense of smell, speaking the language of Toei.

"The smell of blood is so great that you can't go wrong. ”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden cry in the courtyard.

They went up to the wall, but they saw the whole family go out of the courtyard and gather around the pigsty. They have two pigs at home, but they have both been dismantled.

"Who killed a thousand knives here, didn't this kill our family?" the gray-haired old woman cried and grabbed the ground.

"There is no money left at home to support you, so go out and ask for food!

"We were deceived, they led us here, and we should have fled. ”

――――――

The cry drowned out the sound of the two men's breathing, which was slightly heavy because of exhaustion.

Lingxi curled up in Snow Shadow's arms, motionless.

It wasn't until he saw all the dark shadows outside the wall disperse that Snow Shadow breathed a sigh of relief.

The sound of a family crying because they had lost all their savings poured into his ears, and all the things he didn't want to think about before began to wander back and forth in his mind.

For example, when his father died when he was five years old, his mother led him to live hard, washing and cooking for others, and in winter, his hands were full of frostbite, but he did not dare to stop for a moment, because she wanted to earn money for her son's education;

Later, her mother was taken by a member of the household and wanted to kidnap her as a concubine, so she had to take him around.

Fortunately, I met the Eagle Falcon King, who was only about twenty years old.

He didn't mind the age gap, he liked his mother and took care of her, and he was ten years old at the time, and he was willing to call him daddy.

Later, when the Falcon King was absent for one night, he and his mother were taken away, and life was worse than death.

The prince would not have understood that he was the only person who gave him hope in his childhood, and even if he later learned that he actually had a wife at that time, he decided to come back to repay the favor.

Lingxi also knew the story of the Snow Shadow, realized that his body was getting stiffer and stiffer, and knew that he thought about the past again, and the last time he was injured, it was also like this.

She hugged him tightly.

Just a gentle force is enough to pull the snow shadow back to reality.

He took out all the silver tickets from his purse, threw them far away, and flew out again with Lingxi in his arms while the family was still surprised.

The two returned to the Eagle Falcon Mansion in embarrassment, and Lingxi immediately called someone to fetch hot water and bring food, and when he looked at the snow shadow again, he found that he was lying motionless on the table.

"Get up, take a shower and go back to sleep. She pushed him, but did not move, and suddenly became alert.

She picked up Snow Shadow and unbuttoned his shirt, and sure enough, she saw a red palm print on his chest.

It's an internal injury!

――――――

In a daze, Snow Shadow had a lot of dreams.

When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was the Eagle Falcon King sitting on the edge of the bed, with a worried Lingxi standing behind him, and next to him were Jun Wu and Jun Ran, who refused to go to sleep.

What surprised him was that there was Jun He next to him and the boy who had met a few times before, and he remembered that his name was Hong Zhiyan.

"Lord Wang......" he shouted in a low voice, and he felt that his chest was very painful, and his lungs seemed to be about to crack.

"Don't say anything," the Falcon King interrupted him abruptly, taking his hand as he squeezed it, "how can you make me worthy of ...... like this?"

The rest of the words Snow Shadow squeezed his hand and made him swallow it back.

"What time is it now?" he asked.

"You fainted for more than an hour, not internal injuries, but poisoning, fortunately, Dr. Hong was a guest at the house and has already cleaned it up for you. Lingxi looked at Hong Zhiyan gratefully when he spoke, and the other party just silently owed a bow in return.

"I've prepared the medicine, you can rest after eating, it's not too early, and let the prince and Lingxi girl go to rest early. Hong Zhiyan said.

Xue Ying looked at the sky, and sure enough, it was already late, and he hurriedly drank the medicine, even so, the prince and Lingxi still watched him sleep before leaving.

After everyone else went out, listening to the sound of Snow Shadow's breathing gradually subsided, the Falcon King blew out the candle and invited Lingxi to go out with him.

Lingxi has always been a little afraid of the Eagle Falcon King, after all, she has been used to hearing bad things about him since she was a child, but Snow Shadow has been saying good about him, which makes her very conflicted.

In the snow shadow room just now, neither of them spoke, but now that they are out of the courtyard, they seem to be a little quiet.

Lingxi hesitated, but still took the initiative to speak: "The prince walks slowly." ”

The Eagle Falcon King was stunned for a moment, and then frowned for a long time: "You have been living in Yingtian's courtyard?"

Lingxi nodded, and hurriedly explained: "It's not a room......"

The Eagle Falcon King laughed: "He should prepare a yard for you, and I will ask someone to clean up one for you tomorrow." ”

"No need," Ling Xi waved his hand hurriedly, "It's all the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes who don't care about this, and it's a waste of money to clean up a yard again......"

She suddenly realized that there were too many words, and looked at the Falcon King with some grievances.

With two dry coughs, the prince spoke: "Ying Tian can marry such a virtuous daughter-in-law as you, it is really his blessing, and I will give you a big red envelope when you get married." ”

"Really?" Lingxi suddenly became happy, and then began to pull his fingers, as if he was already counting the days.

"You're all too old, and it's time to set a date. The Eagle Falcon King said that if Snow Shadow really identified Lingxi, of course he hoped that they would get married and have a few more dolls as soon as possible to ensure that Lingxi would not rebel.

――――――

"It's too late today, so let's rest in the house. Out of Snow Shadow's room, Jun He said that she was very happy with Hong Zhiyan and Lan'er for lunch, so she also invited him to dinner to make up for the last farce, and happened to hear that Snow Shadow was injured, so he came to help.

obviously invited him as a guest, but it turned out to make the family busy until midnight, and Jun He felt very sorry.

Hong Zhiyan was not polite, and went to sleep with Junhe after finding a guest room.
