More than a dozen black-clothed people emerged from the darkness, all masked, holding swords, and Lin Ling noticed that there was a crescent-like mark on the tail of the sword. The leader of the man in black approached step by step, and sneered: "Lord Qing, there is a cliff behind you, so let's surrender with your hands tied!" Just hand over this woman and we'll let you go! ”

Cliff? Lin Ling hurriedly turned around and looked, no wonder Long Yuze suddenly stopped, there was a cliff in front of him, and the black mist spread everywhere, even if he was good at light work, I am afraid it would be difficult to reach the bottom of the cliff alive. With the faint moonlight, Lin Ling finally saw the blood hole in Long Yuze's chest, and the blood had not stopped, soaking a large piece of clothing. Lin Ling felt his heart pounding, and when he heard the words of the man in black, he instantly understood that tonight's assassination was aimed at her, if she stepped forward, would she be able to save Long Yuze's life?

Lin Ling didn't know why she came up with this idea, in short, she didn't want Long Yuze to die of excessive blood loss.

His waist suddenly tightened, and Long Yuze sneered: "Just a few of you want to snatch people from this king's hands?" It's too self-conscious! ”

As he spoke, Long Yuze pulled out the saber at his waist and pointed straight at the group of black-clothed people. He pushed Lin Ling away with one hand, protected her behind him, and said in a low voice: "You follow me, don't move!" Then he got up and jumped, and shocked the two nearest black-clothed people away with their sword qi, and as soon as he made a move, all the black-clothed people were ready and pressed towards this side together.

"Kill-" The black-clothed man was shocked, countless swords and swords, Lin Ling's eyes were staring at Long Yuze tightly, for fear that something would happen to him. He was already injured, his physical strength had already been overdrawn, and he was able to slash a few black-clothed people in a row with a ruthless aura, but Lin Ling could see that he couldn't support the repeated attacks of so many black-clothed people at all.

"You guys go over and get her!" Several black-clothed people were ordered to surround Lin Ling, Lin Ling stepped back step by step, Long Yuze desperately protected her, did she fall into the hands of the black-clothed man so easily? So isn't his blood shed in vain?

The black-clothed man who Long Yuze was fighting squinted and saw that Lin Ling was being pressed, and she retreated step by step, but she was getting closer and closer to the cliff. Long Yuze was anxious, and stabbed at the black-clothed man in front of him with a fierce force, and flew towards Lin Ling. Lin Ling was forced, she didn't know the situation behind her, she was anxious again, she stepped on a broken stone, the whole person fell backwards, and her body became empty.

Long Yuze pounced in the air, only grabbed Lin Ling's raised arm, and both of them fell off the cliff.

"Boss, they're falling!" The man in black at the front shouted as he looked at the endless cliff.

The man in black who led the way over, picked up a big stone and threw it towards the cliff, but he couldn't hear a response for a long time, and said coldly: "Close!" Go back to the Dark Moon Pavilion and ask the Lord to send someone to find it! ”

Most of the cliffs are either sea or lakes under them, Lin Ling has studied geography and firmly believes in this, and she has learned to swim, and the moment she falls off the cliff, she is relieved. But when a pair of thick hands with some blood grasped her arms, Lin Ling's eyes widened in disbelief, and Long Yuze actually fell off the cliff with her.

"You can run away on your own! There's no need to fall off a cliff with me! Lin Ling said loudly, falling vertically, the wind was too loud, and her voice was soon hidden in the wind.

Long Yuze put his arm around Lin Ling and looked at the Wanzhang cliff below: "If it weren't for you, how would this king still win the country?" ”

Lin Ling still wanted to speak, but he felt that his throat was dry and unbearable, his breathing was a little difficult, and his head was groggy. Oh my God, she can't faint, if she falls into the sea, she can swim and land, if she does, she will drown if she doesn't fall to her death! But no matter how much she stayed awake, she still couldn't withstand the sharp drop in atmospheric pressure, and soon fainted.

But fortunately, although they fell into the water, they were not drowned, but were blown to the shore by the wind.

When Lin Ling woke up again, she was lying on the soft fine sand, and she opened her eyes with difficulty, and what she saw was the blue sea and sky. She woke up at once, moved her arms and thighs, and there was no discomfort except for soreness and stiffness, and it seemed that she had not been drowned, and her clothes had long been dried by the sea breeze. Lin Ling sat up with his hands on the ground, too late to enjoy the coastal scenery, squinting to find Long Yuze's figure.

Sure enough, there was a small black dot on the beach a few hundred meters away from her, and she was sure that it was Long Yuze.

The seashore was densely packed with fishing boats, and there were many fishing nets drying out, Lin Ling looked around and didn't see a single figure, and looked up at the sky again, the sun hadn't come out yet, maybe it was too early, and there were no fishermen out to sea to fish. Lin Ling observed the surrounding situation as he walked towards the small black dot.

Long Yuze, dressed in blood-stained black, was lying unconscious on the beach, and occasionally the sea water hit him. Lin Ling looked at the wounds on his body that had condensed, and hurriedly squatted down and dragged him towards the shore, he already had many wounds, and he had been soaked in the sea water for so long, he really didn't know what the pain would be. Lin Ling noticed that Long Yuze's left arm was the most seriously injured, and it looked like he was almost useless.

Finding a dry place, Lin Ling set Long Yuze up, stood up and walked deeper on the shore. With her own strength, it is impossible to treat Long Yuze's wounds foolproof, so she can only go to this small fishing village to find a doctor first. Lin Ling touched her wrist, there was a white jade bracelet there, which should be worth a lot of silver, and it would not be a problem to ask a doctor.

As soon as he walked to the fork in the road, he met an uncle in his thirties, and Lin Ling hurriedly greeted him: "Excuse me, is there a doctor here?" ”

"Who are you? How come I've never seen you? The uncle looked at Lin Ling suspiciously.

Lin Ling smiled and said, "I fell off the cliff and fell into the sea, and now I am lucky to survive." But my ...... Well, my brother is injured and I want to get a doctor to show him. She originally wanted to say that it was her husband's, but when the words came to her lips and she swallowed them back, she couldn't say them somehow.

The uncle nodded clearly, pointed in the direction and said, "You go straight, and then turn left, it is Gou Langzhong's home, I am in a hurry to go out to sea to fish now, so I won't take you over." ”

"Okay, it's okay, thank you!" Lin Ling nodded gratefully, walked for about half an hour, arrived at Gou Langzhong's house, knocked on the door, there was someone in the house, it was a woman about thirty years old. The woman was sorting out the medicinal herbs, and when she saw Lin Ling coming in, she smiled and said, "This girl is a little raw, did she just move to the village?" ”

Lin Ling shook his head, repeated what he had just said, and finally said: "You are Gou Langzhong, can you go to the beach with me, my brother is seriously injured and cannot move, so he has to ......"

"Gou Langzhong went out to practice medicine, and he came back after lunch, I will go with you now to carry your brother over, I can still deal with simple wounds." The woman wiped her hands, turned around and packed up some bottles and jars of medicine, then walked into the yard and rolled out a small cart and said, "Let's go." ”

The two women chatted while walking, and Lin Ling slowly learned some information, the people in this small fishing village are all indigenous people, and their ancestors have made a living here for generations. That's why I was so puzzled and surprised when I saw a fresh face, this Gou Lang Zhonggou was far from being a foreigner, five years ago he took his wife Liu Xiang - that is, the woman in front of him settled here, practicing medicine in exchange for food on weekdays, and living a good life.

There are more people on the beach, fewer fishing boats, and the sun is rising. Lin Ling found Long Yuze, who she had placed behind a big rock, and after briefly treating the wound, she and Liu Xiang carried Long Yuze to the top of the cart and pushed him towards the village together. Seeing that Lin Ling was about to take out the jade bracelet on his wrist to pay for the medicine, Liu Xiang pushed it back and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoling, this fishing village doesn't like this, when your brother's injury is healed, let him go to the sea to catch two fish and send them over." ”

Lin Ling didn't insist, he looked at Long Yuze worriedly, his injuries were so serious, he really didn't know when he would wake up.

Liu Xiang said while drugged Long Yuze: "You guys are being hunted down, right?" It's not easy to survive falling off the cliff, my father-in-law's medical skills are not bad, I should be able to cure your brother, don't be bitter. ”

As he was talking, a man about thirty years old walked in at the door, he was carrying a medicine box on his back, and his face was bookish, Lin Ling hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Gou Langzhong, please save him!" ”

Gou Yuanfei frowned, took the medicine in Liu Xiang's hand, checked Long Yuze's injury, shook his head and said, "Who did you provoke?" This is a completely deadly way of playing, and the left arm was almost broken, but fortunately I met me, otherwise I would have been crippled if I didn't die! ”

When Lang Zhong, who had a modest face, said such arrogant words, Lin Ling was a little dumbfounded, Liu Xiang covered his mouth and smiled: "He is like this on weekdays, don't go to your heart, come, go out with me, don't look scary here." ”

Lin Lingxin followed Liu Xiang to the courtyard without reluctance, Liu Xiang said some words of relief while taking care of the medicine garden, and saw that Lin Ling was still unfocused, and said, "You must have a good relationship with your brother, right?" It is said that the eldest brother is the father, and if something happens to the elder brother, there is no way to be a sister. Don't worry, it'll be fine. ”

"Our feelings...... It's good. Lin Ling pinched the medicinal herbs in his hand, and suddenly his face turned red.

That is, she has a bad relationship with Long Yuze, why should she care if he is dead or alive?

But when she thought that Long Yuze fell off the cliff because of her, her heart couldn't help but soften a little. Although Long Yuze has always protected her because she is a goddess, no matter what, he is indeed doing his best to protect her, and even almost lost an arm. Lin Ling sighed, and couldn't help but think, if she wasn't a goddess, would Long Yuze still protect her like this?

This assumption made Lin Ling's heart feel a little cold, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Sister Xiaoling, your brother wakes up and wants to make up for it, there is a live fish sent by the aunt next door in the fishing net in the fish pond next to the yard a few days ago, if you are okay, you will slaughter that fish and stew it." Liu Xiang saw that Lin Ling was absent-minded, and decided to find something for her to do, "The firewood in the kitchen is almost gone, you can go to the backyard to pick up some later." ”

"Okay." Lin Ling nodded, walked towards the fish pond, fished out the fish in the net, and dealt with it so-so. The fish was very large, and Lin Ling poured it for a long time to clean up the fish, chopped the fish into several pieces and put them in a bowl, and went to the backyard to collect firewood.

While classifying the medicinal herbs, Liu Xiang paid attention to Lin Ling's movements, for fear that she would accidentally fall into the fish pond. Hearing the movement in the house, he hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in, Gou Yuanfei wiped his hands, looked at Liu Xiang and said: "Lady, this person is not something we can afford to provoke, let them go when he wakes up, don't leave it behind." ”

"You're talking nonsense again?" Liu Xiang walked over and wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of Gou's forehead with a handkerchief.

Gou Yuanfei said with a serious face: "I found this jade pendant on him just now, this is a jade pendant that only exists in the Dragon Family Dynasty. I once swore that I would never again heal the people of the dynasty, and today is a misunderstanding, so I will cheapen him. According to this situation, it seems that there is another bloody storm in the court, and we have finally come to this paradise, and we must not be swept into it again. ”

Liu Xiang straightened up and said, "I listen to Xianggong." ”

At that time, the name of the Gou family's medical saint resounded all over the country, and the only son of the Gou family, Gou, was far from being passed down by his ancestors. However, the Gou family has never pursued fame and fortune, but they were invited to the imperial hospital by the people of the dynasty with a lot of money. The ancestors of the Gou family did not obey, in order to win the favor of the emperor, a prince of the dynasty was actually blood-hungry for the Gou family, and Gou was far from the only one who survived this war.

When Lin Ling picked up a large handful of firewood and came back, he saw that Gou Yuanfei and his wife were sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard to classify the herbs together, the sun was at its peak, and the warm spring sun shone on this scene, Lin Ling felt that his heart was also soft. She put down the firewood and walked over, and before she could ask, Gou Yuanfei said: "My medical skills are worthy of their reputation, and if they are cured, they will definitely be cured." Go in and have a look now, he'll wake up later. ”

Lin Ling nodded, opened the curtain and walked in, and saw that Long Yuze was covered in white gauze, like a mummy. But with Gou Langzhong's words as a guarantee, she calmed down and walked over to look at Long Yuze's every wound carefully. The wounds have been treated cleanly, and they have been treated like this in such a short time, and the medical skills of this Gou Lang are really good.

Lin Ling walked out of the room, thanked him gratefully, and went to boil the medicine stew. Liu Xiang also walked to the kitchen to make lunch, and said lightly: "Your brother will be able to get out of bed and walk in about three days, so don't worry in vain." ”

"Sister Liu Xiang, I've been bothering you for the past three days." Lin Ling said while fanning the fire in the stove, she felt the alienation in Liu Xiang's words. Obviously, Liu Xiang was still laughing and teasing about her and Long Yuze before, why did she pick up a firewood and come back like this? Maybe Long Yuze's injuries are too serious, too troublesome, and there is no reward for them, Lin Ling thought.

Liu Xiang smiled faintly, neatly poured the cut vegetables into the pot, and said, "After your brother's injury is healed, what are your plans?" As she spoke, she put all kinds of spices into the dishes, stir-frying them constantly, and the fire was also very strong, and the kitchen soon smelled of vegetables.

Lin Ling took the plate and handed it to Liu Xiang, and asked, "I don't know how to get to the capital from here?" ”

After Long Yuze's injuries were healed, he had to go back to the capital as soon as possible, and a second before the assassin came, they were still talking about Xiaoge. Xiaoge was summoned into the palace by the queen's mother, and she was not relieved. If she didn't have those concerns, she would have liked to settle down in this small fishing village, which faces the sea and blooms in spring, which is very similar to the feeling in Haizi's poetry collection.

"Are you going to the capital?" Liu Xiang nodded knowingly, and put the last bowl of dishes on the plate, "The capital is not far away, but you need to make a detour, about half a month." When the time comes, there will be people in the village who will go out to do business, so you can go with them, so as not to get lost. ”

"Half a month?" Lin Ling exclaimed, it only took a few seconds for them to fall from the cliff, how could it take half a month to go back?

"Yes, this is an island, you have to take a boat to get to the land, and then climb a few mountains to get to the capital, and there are many small villages and towns along the way, but it's easy." Liu Xiang set the vegetable bowl, wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Okay, let's eat, your soup is almost ready, I'll go see if your brother is awake." ”

Lin Ling nodded, his head dizzy when he thought of the half-month trip, and when he walked into the room to check Long Yuze's injuries, he saw his fingers moving, and hurriedly shouted: "Gou Langzhong, his fingers moved, is it okay?" ”

Gou Yuanfei didn't go in, and said lightly outside the house: "Naturally, it's okay, when your brother's injury is healed, you can leave as soon as possible." ”

Lin Ling also knew that she was very troublesome, so she responded silently, and fed Long Yuze a few mouthfuls of fish soup before going out to eat. During the meal, Liu Xiang was obviously enlivening the atmosphere, but no matter how dull Lin Ling was, he also felt the alienation from the smile of the couple. She didn't know what was going on, she just hoped that Long Yuze's injuries would get better soon, although this place was good, it was not a place to stay for a long time after all.

"Gou Langzhong, I heard that there is a pair of brothers and sisters in our village?" Lin Ling was eating with his head buried in his head when he heard a sound outside the courtyard, and when he just raised his head, the man also walked in, sat down at the dining table with a big grin, stared at Lin Ling several times, and said while nodding, "Hmm...... This girl outside is more beautiful than a woman who has lived by the sea for a long time, looking at her skin, white and tender......"

"Liu Qi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Xiang looked at the visitor with a cold face, "I don't have an opinion that you are coming to see a doctor, if you are purely looking for trouble, go out quickly!" ”

Liu Qi's explicit words made Lin Ling feel uncomfortable, glared at him secretly, and walked into Long Yuze's room with a bowl of fish soup, ready to feed him some more. Liu Qi was bored with himself, pouted, reached out and took a few peanuts on the table, hummed a song and left.

Liu Xiang's face was full of disgust, threw down the chopsticks, and said, "Xianggong, don't let this kind of person come to our house again in the future." Look at his shameless appearance, Xiaoling's sister is a girl's family, and her brother is injured again, if he is targeted by this Liu Qi, it will not be a good thing......"

"Lady, don't worry, they will leave in a few days, and this Liu Qi is also in this small fishing boat, and when he comes out of here, he is nothing." Gou Yuan said indifferently, "I'll go to the village chief to ask later, see if there are any people who go to sea to do business, and take this brother and sister by the way." ”
