After Xin Ran asked the shopkeeper to leave, he was afraid that the man in black would go and return again, so he didn't dare to leave, so he kept waiting next to Chen Ming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe because he was too sleepy, Xin Ran fell asleep unconsciously.

In the morning of the next day, hearing Chen Ming's "hum", Xin Ran woke up and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xian, how do you feel now?" ”

Chen Ming seemed to be in great pain, and said in a very weak voice: "Big brother, thank you for arriving in time to save me last night, and now I feel weak." ”

"What the hell was going on with you last night?" Xin Ran asked.

Chen Ming replied: " Last night I slept until the fourth watch, suddenly heard the sound of fighting in your room, was about to get up, only to feel weak, suddenly a man in black with a short sword stabbed at me, dodged, had to try his best, to use the master's trick, kicked away the short sword of the man in black, the man in black seemed to be surprised, thought that the incense did not work for me, so he turned around and fled out of the window, and shot out two poisonous needles, I was hit by the incense, the body can not be expanded, so the two poisonous needles hit me, I fainted at that time, and I don't know what happened later, I woke up in the morning, I saw you guarding in front of my bed。 ”

Xin Ran continued: "I was similar to you last night, and I was also a man in black who tried to raid me using incense, but I ran away, and I happened to hear your screams in the house, so I broke into the door and saw you lying on the ground. ”

Speaking of this, Xin Ran's face turned a little red.

Chen Ming thought about it carefully at this time, and then remembered that he had a chest injury last night, and then saw that his chest wounds were bandaged, and thought: Brother Xin must have found out that I am a woman this time, I am really ashamed.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn red.

Xin Ran saw Chen Ming's face turn red, and he also knew what was going on, so he hurriedly whispered: "Brother Xian, Brother Fool really doesn't know that you are a woman, I treated your wounds last night, if there is any offense, please forgive me." ”

"Brother Xin, don't blame yourself, since you know, I won't hide it from you, my name is indeed Chen Ming, but my father actually has only one son, that is, my brother Wenduan, and I am his sister, I have loved martial arts since I was a child, and then worshiped Sun Zhenren as a teacher, often walking around the rivers and lakes, for convenience, I have always been men's clothing, that day I met with my eldest brother in Goose Lake, I felt very close to you, and I worshipped you as brothers, and then you and I came to Lin'an together, I have written a letter in advance, and secretly arranged for someone to send it to my brother's house, so he told his family not to tell you that I am a woman, so they did not say anything to you。 I arranged these things, I hope you don't be surprised", Chen Ming said to Xin Ran.

After listening to this, Xin Ran said: "Brother Chen Xian, these are all things that have to be done as a last resort when walking the rivers and lakes, and the foolish brother doesn't mind. “

"Big brother, you all know that I am a woman, and you still call me Brother Chen Xian", Chen Ming said with a smile.

Xin Ran said: "It's the foolish brother who made a mistake, and I ask the virtuous sister to forgive me." “

At this, both of them laughed together.

Xin Ran then asked, "Sister Xian, you used to walk around the rivers and lakes a lot, can you see where the man in black came from tonight?"

Chen Ming said: "I'm ashamed, I fell for the incense last night, and I didn't match a few moves with the man in black, I really can't see this person's sect, big brother, you are from a famous family, and the master is a master today, I don't know if you can see it." ”

Xin Ran heard Chen Ming say this, and hurriedly said: "Sister Xian, you have a good reputation, and I don't know if my judgment is right or not, the man in black who entered my room last night I did a few tricks with him, I see that his swordsmanship seems to be Wudang's swordsmanship, and I feel that this person seems to be someone we know." ”

"Oh, big brother, why do you think so?" Chen Ming asked.

Xin Ran replied: "I fought with the man in black last night, his skill should not be low, and I used the four methods of the three sword guards of the dragon, this person seems to have no intention of fighting me, but shot a poisonous needle, and fled out, I guess this person is also afraid that he will use too many tricks, which will make me see the origin of his master, and even recognize him." ”

"Big brother is right, I think it's very likely to be like this," Chen Ming said.

"It is said that not long after I first came out of the rivers and lakes, there are not many people who know me, and even fewer people have grudges with me, and I don't know who it is, I actually want to kill you and me, and I must find out this person when I turn around," Xin Ran said.

Chen Ming continued: "I don't think this person has succeeded this time, he will definitely not give up, we will definitely deal with this person again in the future, and we will naturally know who this person is when the time comes, don't be too anxious, big brother." ”

Xin Ran said: "What the virtuous sister said is extremely true. ”

After the two said this, Xin Ran saw that Chen Ming was tired, so he asked her to rest, and then went back to his room to rest.

Xin Ran slept until noon and didn't wake up, hurriedly came downstairs, asked the shopkeeper to make chicken soup, and then brought it to Chen Ming's room in person.

Chen Ming originally wanted to drink it by himself, but Xin Ran insisted on feeding Chen Ming by himself.

After drinking the chicken soup, Chen Ming said: "Big brother, you are so good to your little sister, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

"Between you and me, why be polite, I am your eldest brother, and I should take care of you", Xin Ran said to Chen Ming.

In this way, although Chen Ming's injury was very serious, under Xin Ran's careful care, and the shopkeeper felt very guilty because Chen Ming was injured in his own store, and he also took care of his diet very thoughtfully, and often cooked some soups that were beneficial to his body for Chen Ming, so Chen Ming's recovery was still very fast.

Half a month later, Chen Ming has basically recovered.

On this day, Xin Ran just got up in the morning, Chen Ming came in, Xin Ran took a closer look, Chen Ming was dressed in women's clothes today, and he was dressed in men's clothes before, Xin Ran didn't realize it, today Xin Ran saw Chen Ming in women's clothes for the first time, and his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but think of the verses of the Book of Poetry "Shuoren":

The hands are like soft wattles, and the skin is like clotted fat,

The collar is like a grasshopper, and the teeth are like a rhinoceros,

The eyebrows are eyebrows, and the smile is smiling,

Beautiful eyes.

One look at the city, and then look at the country.

Chen Ming saw Xin Ran looking at him, and he didn't make a sound, as if he was thinking about something, so he smiled and said, "Why, big brother, you haven't seen a woman, why are you staring at me and not talking." ”

Xin Ran came back to his senses when he heard Chen Ming say this, and said in a low voice: "Brother Fool has never seen you in women's clothes, but when I see you today, it's so beautiful." ”

Chen Ming smiled: "As long as the eldest brother doesn't dislike the little sister's ugly appearance, it's fine." ”

Then he asked: "Big brother, because of my injury, you and I have been delayed here for half a month, and now I am almost fine, do you think we will leave for Shaolin Temple tomorrow?"

Xin Ran replied: "I have this intention, but I am worried that your body has not fully recovered, and I want you to raise it for a few more days." ”

"I'm a martial arts practitioner, as long as I'm almost recovered, I'm not so squeamish, and I'll set off tomorrow," Chen Ming said.

Xin Ran saw that Chen Ming had already decided, so he didn't insist, so the two decided to leave for Shaolin Temple the next day.
