After all, in the gentle smoke and rain of the south, it is rare to see this kind of tough and upright tree that proudly faces the wind and snow.

Even the poplar tree in the Imperial Garden, which I don't know which generation of emperors planted for curiosity, was very thin, even if it was so insignificant compared to the rest of the trees. But Lechang still remembers that tree deeply.

Because although the trunk of the tree is small, it always rises straight to the sky, and although the open crown is insignificant compared to the towering trees that surround it for hundreds of years, it still struggles to grow high, to snatch the last ray of sunlight, and the high-spirited momentum looks out of place in the whole imperial garden.

This is a poplar tree, not a willow swaying in the wind, not a delicate blooming flower, but a simple and pure tree that struggles to go up, and the spine is always straight. Its branches may not be beautiful, smooth and sometimes cracked, but they are always upward, upward, towards the sky with sun and rain!

Although the surface of the entire sachet has faded in many places, it can still be seen that the pattern like a snowflake can still be seen, scattered on the surface of the entire sachet.

"The New Year's birds are chirping, and the poplars are full of Luffy in February." Lechang held the sachet in the palm of her hand, and at this moment she already understood that the embroidery on the surface of the sachet was not snowflakes at all, but poplar flowers.

The same white, the same drifting.

However, poplar flowers are more tenacious than snowflakes, even if they have gone through wind and rain, they can still take root and sprout where they land.

Le Chang subconsciously looked up at Li Xinchen, his life experience was as floating as a poplar flower, his waist was as straight as a poplar tree, and the man in front of him seemed to be the embodiment of the decoration on the sachet.

Or that the family's turbulent and tenacious fate is no different from this man and the poplar on the sachet.

"What's wrong?" Li Xinchen also noticed that there was something wrong with Lechang's expression, and couldn't help but ask curiously, could it be that Lechang really knew where this sachet came from?

Le Chang was silent for a moment, not knowing where the power came from, so she shook her head firmly. Li Xinchen wanted to ask something, and he didn't even have to listen to what he said, he could see it just from his expectant gaze, but Le Chang shook his head repeatedly, saying that he really didn't know anything.

Seeing Li Xinchen show a disappointed look, and then lowered his head and continued to put firewood into the fire, Lechang suddenly felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

Maybe it was because she didn't tell the truth, so she felt guilty about Li Xinchen, but Lechang didn't feel that what she did was wrong. After all, some things are not necessarily a good thing to say, especially for Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen, who has now come to this position step by step, can still move forward even if he doesn't need this identity, and with this identity, he may become a place for others to attack him. It doesn't have to be a driving force.

After all, Li Xinchen is now in Nanchen, not in ······

Le Chang gently put down the sachet, she knew very well in her heart that no matter how she explained it to herself, she still deceived Li Xinchen after all and hid some secrets deep in her heart. Maybe one day Li Xinchen will solve this secret by himself, but at least not now.

It's just that Le Chang didn't know that Li Xinchen seemed to be adding firewood carefully, but the corner of his eye kept falling on her, and Lechang's hesitant expression was also fully seen by Li Xinchen, which made Li Xinchen even more suspicious in his heart.

He has lived for more than forty years in his previous life and present life combined, and Lechang's little careful thoughts are written on his face, and he does not hide it at all, and this is what Li Xinchen is really surprised about.

Although Le Chang is not a person who has experienced many human feelings, she was easily dragged into the whirlpool of the East Palace by Li Xinchen before, but at least she was still able to hold some small inches, and at this time she did not hide her expression at all, indicating that this sachet must have involved some people.

And rather, a huge family and dusty history······

However, Li Xinchen only laughed at this after all, and continued to lower his head to focus on his roasted things. Since Lechang didn't want to say it, he didn't want to ask. After all, he never thought that relying on this sachet would be able to help him reach the sky in one step.

In this troubled world, all morality and order are overshadowed in the face of absolute strength, even if he really has any noble status, the strength in his hands is not enough to make Li Xinchen really make a deafening voice.

And even if he has no identity background, he believes that with his own hands, he can still struggle his way out of this troubled world and darkness.

Le Chang's mind had already been messed up, he hastily packed up everything, and was about to say something, when dense footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and Li Xinchen grabbed the Ziyun gun leaning against the wall, his face sinking like water.

"Go, hide." Li Xinchen grabbed Lechang, turned around and walked in the direction of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion behind. As soon as I heard the sound of these footsteps, I knew that there were more than a dozen people, and with the two of them alone, they were no match for others at all.

The Scripture Pavilion behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall was actually a broken wall, and Li Xinchen directly dragged Le Chang to squat down behind a broken wall, watching the mottled shadows appear where they were standing just now.

"The fire hasn't been extinguished yet, these two guys can't run, you go up there, and the rest come with me!" A black-clothed killer said in a cold voice, "Block all the entrances, and shoot arrows when you see a figure, so that these two people can't escape." ”

Li Xinchen and Le Chang couldn't help but glance at each other, with a bitter look on their faces, they didn't expect that they had rested for a few hours, and they were chased directly after them.

However, these black-clad killers must have left a mark among themselves, so it was easy for these people to follow the mark left by their companions to find the cave, and then go down the river, which was the first shoal, so it made sense to stop and search here.

"I didn't believe in Buddhism before, but I didn't expect to really suffer retribution." Le Chang said in a low voice, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. God had been on the cliff and in the cave before, and she felt the breath of death again and again, but in the end, she was saved again and again.

But this time, no matter how you look at it, you can't run away, it is possible that the previous few times were not because of the favor and blessing of fate, but because fate wanted to play a joke with them and play tricks on these two ignorant people.

Li Xinchen laughed: "It's still the question I asked before, are you afraid of death?" ”

Although he didn't know why Li Xinchen asked this question, looking at his sincere eyes, Lechang also knew that Li Xinchen was not joking.
