Chapter 40: The Pursuers Are Coming
Halfway through the winter month, the weather is getting colder and colder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe weather is gloomy in the morning, and by noon the snow is falling.
Yuexi stood by the window, looking out through the window, and the treetops on the roof were white.
The wind was howling, whirling into the snowflakes, and Yuexi closed the window in disappointment.
Leng Chen sat in the room boiling water, there was a teapot and teacup on the side of the table, the water was boiling, he poured the water into the teapot, and the aroma of tea overflowed instantly.
"Drink tea." Leng Chen poured a cup in front of Yuexi.
Yuexi frowned and drank.
"Don't like it?"
"I love chrysanthemum tea."
"Chrysanthemum tea is suitable for summer drinking."
Yuexi put the teacup on the table, "What does Brother Leng like to do in winter?" ”
Leng Chen raised his head, "Do you mean in the Stygian Flame Palace?" ”
Although Yuexi lives in the Stygian Flame Palace, she doesn't know anything about the inner affairs of the Stygian Flame Palace.
Leng Chen said, "The North Hall Master is responsible for the safety of the Stygian Flame Palace. ”
Yuexi was puzzled, "So you rarely go out of the Stygian Flame Palace, but why did your father-in-law send you to me this time?" ”
"The master of the South Hall is on a mission outside, and he lacks skills."
Yuexi couldn't help but wonder, is this fate?
"When you were in the bamboo house, you collected medicine to heal people, did you learn your medical skills when you were in the Stygian Flame Palace? Who is your Master? ”
"Just find something to do."
Just find something to do to have such an achievement, Yuexi envy, if only she could be so smart, "Then Brother Leng can teach me?" Be my Master? ”
Leng Chen raised his head, "Do you want to learn?" ”
"Hmm."
"Okay."
Yuexi poured the empty cup to the full, and touched her hands in front of Leng Chen, "Master, please drink tea." ”
Leng Chen smiled.
"Well, let's start now." Yuexi casually pulled out a book of medical skills from the bookshelf.
The carbon stove is burning, the room is warm, the light smoke in the incense burner is flirting, and the figures sitting opposite each other.
This talk is an hour, and the teapot has been drunk up.
"I'm going to fetch water." Yuexi grabbed the teapot.
"No need." Leng Chen got up, "Let's go out for a walk." ”
"Okay."
Those things that Leng Chen talked about, Yuexi only listened to the story, and it was still far from being understood, she just liked being with Leng Chen very much, as long as she was with him, she would be happy no matter what she did.
Leng Chen took off the cloak placed on the screen, draped it on Yuexi's shoulders, and carefully tied it for her.
The hand inadvertently touched her chin, and Yuexi suddenly felt that the place he touched was as hot as fire, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
She looked up and saw the clear eyes of the cold morning.
Looking at each other, she felt her heart beat faster.
"Let's go." Leng Chen turned around.
A hint of loss flashed in Yuexi's eyes, "Your cloak?" ”
"I practice martial arts, and I am not afraid of the cold."
The snow was still falling, flying all over the sky, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer, and it creaked when you stepped on it.
Yuexi put her hands in her sleeves and followed Leng Chen, walking step by step.
Brother Leng is still the former Brother Leng, even if the two hearts intersect, he has always behaved politely and never made intimate actions, but Brother Leng has spent more time by his side, he will tell interesting things to himself, and occasionally he will shush the cold and ask for warmth. Maybe Brother Leng is just not good at expressing himself.
"Be careful."
The arm was suddenly grabbed and pulled back, Yue Xi noticed that there was a dirt pit in front of her, covered with snow, it was not very obvious, if Brother Leng was a step slower, I am afraid that he would have fallen now.
"What are you thinking?"
Yuexi smiled, "I'm thinking, where will Brother Leng take me." ”
"If you don't know where to go, just follow me?"
"Could it be that Brother Leng can still sell me?"
It was a joke, but Yuexi found that Leng Chen's face was not very good-looking, and secretly thought to herself, could it be that she said the wrong thing.
After a long time, Leng Chen said, "What if I really sell you?" ”
Yuexi smiled again, "Brother Leng won't." ”
Gradually, out of the town, the two came to the foot of the mountain.
Yuexi looked around blankly, a white expanse, and was about to ask, when she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, but it was Leng Chen who grabbed her waist, and then felt her toes off the ground and the wind blowing from top to bottom.
It was very cold around, but it was warm to hug his body, and Yuexi buried her face in his arms, feeling the warmth he brought to herself.
How high the mountain is, Yuexi doesn't know, she just keeps praying in her heart to make it longer, longer.
The snow has stopped at some point, and the sun is as lazy as an old man in the twilight, and the white snow glows with colorful light in the sunlight.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, the body and mind are comfortable, and the heart is relaxed.
Yuexi was in a good mood, turned her head to look at Leng Chen and said, "In the future, we will go to the top of the mountain to see the snow every year when it snows, okay?" ”
Leng Chen said, "Okay." ”
The two were close together, and behind them, two overlapping shadows.
Yuexi's child's heart rose, squatting on the ground and playing in the snow, and after a while, his hands were red from the cold.
"Is it cold or not?"
Yuexi rubbed her hands, "It's okay." ”
Walking leisurely all the way, half a month has passed, and there is still one day to reach the Stygian Flame Palace.
At dinner, Yuexi sighed faintly, "I'll be in the Stygian Flame Palace tomorrow." ”
There was silence all around.
The three of them have their own agendas.
When I returned to the Stygian Flame Palace, I couldn't take a leisurely walk under the moon with Brother Leng like now, but I couldn't help but look forward to the days when I thought of the husband and wife who would love each other with Brother Leng in the future.
Yuexi tilted her head, Leng Chen's expression was chilled under the moonlight, "What is Brother Leng thinking?" ”
Leng Chen came back to his senses, "It's nothing. ”
Jian Zhongxie is selfish, ruthless, mercenary, and obsessed with martial arts, if he wants to be with Yuexi, he will never agree if he doesn't give him benefits, so he is ready.
Now he is thinking about how to let Yuexi open his mouth to borrow troops.
I have to hurry tomorrow, send Yuexi back to the room in the cold morning to rest early, and halfway through, more than a dozen people in black fell from the sky, the knives in their hands were cold under the moonlight, and the group surrounded the two in the middle.
"Hand over the mirror, and spare you from dying."
It's Spiegel again, Yuexi smiled bitterly, in her lifetime, she must see with her own eyes what Spiegel, who has repeatedly killed herself and been hunted down and assassinated, looks like.
"I've said it many times, Spiegel isn't here, it's not mine." Yuexi sighed, she was hunted down for no reason because of something, if she didn't know kung fu, otherwise she would have grabbed these people and knocked them on the head, how many times did she say it, why they just couldn't understand it.
"Don't talk nonsense, we chased Spiegel all the way to Baifu, but if you leave at this time, the thing must be on you."
Yuexi is like a dumb person eating yellow lotus, and she can't say anything about her suffering.
The bushes next to it suddenly moved, and a dozen or so black-clothed people came out of it and circled around again.
Tomorrow is the Stygian Flame Palace, and these people know that tonight is their last chance. Although Yuexi didn't know kung fu, she could feel that these people were different from those who chased and killed her before.
Yuexi still wanted to say something, Leng Chen had already started.
Suddenly, the sound of swords clashing resounded in the night sky.
Outnumbered, the wisest choice at this moment is to fight quickly, Leng Chen's movements are crisp and neat, without a trace of tricks.
The bright knife slashed head-on, Yuexi only had time to close her eyes, and then she heard a muffled snort, the warm liquid hit her face, and Yuexi's heart sank.
Then I felt a hand pull it at me, "Don't leave behind me." ”
