The blind shopkeeper can't see it, but he can feel the strangeness of the little girl around him.

He turned his head to the mussel forest, lifted the cigarette stick again, and smoked without saying a word.

The smoke soon enveloped him again, as if a blue-gray barrier was separated between Xin Zi and the shopkeeper, making Xin Zi unable to see the real shopkeeper's expression at this moment.

Xin Zi knew that the blind shopkeeper was deliberately leaving some time for herself to sort out the chaotic thoughts at this time, and she felt a little more grateful to this red-clothed member who was far more experienced than herself.

She tried to adjust her breathing, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, trying to calm her mood.

But the past of Guan Suxin is still like the tide of the rainy season, surging in waves, and it looks like it is about to break through the river embankment and rout.

Su Xin knew what kind of ending she would bring to herself when she met Xin Han, and how she would send herself to the guillotine step by step if she fell in love with him, but she still resolutely chose which path, presumably she never regretted it when she left.

It was her choice, she had already expected all the consequences, and she would be at peace on the day of life and death.

Xin Zi thought of the nightmare she had when she was in a coma many years ago after falling from the cliff of Luhe Mountain into the Medicine Immortal Valley.

In retrospect, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or an illusion that had happened in the past.

And the face of the woman who stabbed the dagger in her chest in the dream remained as deep in her heart as a brand in the face of death.

Xin Zi unconsciously fell into the memories again, and the voices of Takemoto and Li Yuan came from behind her, and she panicked and sorted out the tears on her face.

Takemoto Liyuan and the others had already come to her with a smile, and the two of them were a little stunned when they bumped into Xin Zi's embarrassment defenselessly.

Xin Zi squeezed out a smile and looked at the two of them, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Takemoto lowered her eyes and leaned to the side, she had never done the boring act of probing into other people's private affairs, and at this moment, seeing Xin Zi deliberately covering it up, of course, she wouldn't ask more, just as if she didn't see it.

Li Yuan saw Takemoto's imperceptible move to the side, and knew that she was arching herself up and letting him face Xin Zi alone.

He glanced at the blind shopkeeper who was nesting in the rocking chair, and turned his eyes back to Xin Zi's side, thinking that the two of them had been sitting in front of this door all afternoon and talking mysteriously, and thinking of the past of the blind shopkeeper and Xin Zi's identity, he guessed that maybe Xin Zi knew something about his own race or relatives from the shopkeeper intentionally or unintentionally, and was touched by those deeds, so he became sad.

Since this is the case, then this is obviously not something that he, who is considered an outsider in terms of bloodline status, should take care of it, so he grinned calmly, turned a blind eye to Xin Zi's red and swollen eyes, and deliberately raised his voice and asked, "When are we going to eat?" I'm starving. ”

When Xin Zi heard this, she noticed that the sun had set, and the night was shrouded little by little.

She looked towards the blind shopkeeper, thinking of the tradition of this Liufeng Inn that only takes care of accommodation and is not responsible for eating and drinking, her smile is a little stiff, and she just wants to open her mouth to tell Li Yuan that she is afraid that she will take the little dry food she brought before to satisfy her hunger, when she sees that the blind shopkeeper actually knocked the cigarette stick in his hand and slowly stood up.

"Let's go to the store first, it's not safe to get out there at night." The shopkeeper spoke calmly, and skillfully groped his way to the door, "I took out the things stored in my library tonight and opened a meat dish for you, which can be regarded as practicing for you in advance, and you will leave early tomorrow morning, right?" ”

Xin Zi looked at the blind shopkeeper with an unexpected face, but Li Yuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the blind shopkeeper, wishing that he would follow the shopkeeper into his warehouse at this moment to choose food.

Takemoto quietly followed Xin Zi into the inn.

When it was pitch black outside, the picture of a few people sitting around the wooden table under the dim light of the inn became even more warm.

I didn't expect the blind shopkeeper to have a table of meals, although because of the shortage of goods in this inn, most of the food served on the table was some sauced duck, bacon and smoked fish and other foods that could be stored for a long time, but for the three of Xin Zi, who had been sleeping in the open for a month and even had no food, it was more delicious than the imperial meal in the palace, and everyone was satisfied and ate with relish.

At the dinner table, Li Yuan told the story of how he was miserably abused by Takemoto's software during the day. Takemoto silently ate the food in the bowl, and did not talk to him, nor did he poke him; The blind shopkeeper listened absentmindedly, occasionally interjecting a comment or two; Yuchen didn't look at Li Yuan, and concentrated on lying at Xin Zi's feet to protect a smoked leg of lamb in front of him, tearing it, all taking Li Yuan's words as background sound.

Only Xin Zi listened carefully to Li Yuan's every word with great interest, interacting with him eagerly.

Such enthusiasm made Li Yuan, who had long been accustomed to being cold, a little uncomfortable in the face of Xin Zi's focus on his own mind and Takemoto's contempt and ridicule along the way, and even wondered in his heart whether Xin Zi had a request for himself.

But when she thought of Xin Zi's sad appearance in the evening, she thought that maybe she was afraid that the other people at the table would be infected by her low mood, so she deliberately greeted herself, so Li Yuan redoubled his efforts to talk about his battle with Takemoto, and even talked about the situation encountered in each of the previous battles between the two.

"You should have already seen that I know how to use a secret weapon, and I am good at sneak attacks, and I think I have a good kung fu of escaping from battle on my feet. But in this battle, the emphasis is on the two of them to the point, and it is a frontal battle, and this kind of training method is extremely beneficial to Takemoto, but it is a constraint for me. Come to think of it, every time Takemoto encounters an enemy, she is like a thoughtless walking corpse, she doesn't know how to retreat at all, and she doesn't care whether the opponent's kung fu is above her or not, she will only rush forward with one tendon, she is so arrogant even in actual combat, let alone when she practices with me.

"It's so hard for me that I don't even have a place to hide.

In addition, Takemoto is good at making swords, especially focusing on flexible soft swords, it can be said that he has only specialized in this kind of weapon since he was a child, and has already practiced to the point of perfection, and when the sword is released, the soft sword seems to grow in the hand, and the body is integrated, and the direction of the soft sword blade is free according to his own ideas.

"But look at me again, everything is half-baked, except for the middle of the gap to catch the enemy's weakness to use that flying knife, it is easy not to use your own hidden weapon, most of the time when against the enemy, you rely on the weapon to take people for your own use."
