Chapter Forty-Nine: The Flames of War Are Warm and Cold
"I know you. After the Four Seasons Ge Aya held Lin Ling up, she disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, she should have returned to Yin Xian, "Yi Chong called you, Xiao Zhao Rui." ”
"Bah, don't talk to me about it. About sixteen-year-old Zhao Rui is young and energetic, with a pair of big eyes that are smart and naughty, but her hair is still tied in a double ponytail and looks a little immature, "You are younger than me, you can't take advantage of me, just call me Zhao Rui, and you don't need to call me senior sister." I remember you too!"
Zhao Rui pointed to the strips of cloth on Lin Ling's body from top to bottom, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Zongzi!" ”
Lin Ling couldn't help but lower his head, and he didn't have a good impression of the girl in front of him.
Although the strip of cloth on his body is indeed extremely special, it is because of his specialness that it has become a pimple in Lin Ling's heart that cannot be erased.
"Xiaorui, what are you talking about? With a hint of disgust, another woman in purple walked over.
The girl has an eighteen-year-old appearance, a slender waist, willow leaves and thin eyebrows, her eyes are full of waves, and her cherry lips are slightly open, in Lin Ling's memory, only the daughters of big families have such a stunning color.
But the more beautiful the girl, the lower Lin Ling's head was buried.
"Senior brother, don't pay attention to Xiaorui's nonsense. I am Chen Qingxi, a disciple of Five Star Peak, you can call me Senior Sister Qingxi. ”
Lin Ling didn't want to stay longer, he just wanted to go back to practice as soon as possible after buying the peacock strings that Yin Xian had explained, in his opinion now, it was more comfortable to practice hard than dealing with girls.
"This is my pass order to go down the mountain, and Senior Yinxian ordered me to go down the mountain to buy some materials, hoping that my senior sister would let me go. Lin Ling took out the token from his sleeve, "Also, can you pick me up early?" I have other things to do in the mountains." ”
Zhao Rui stuck out her tongue at Chen Qingxi, grinning for a while, still not feeling Lin Ling's unhappiness, and said enthusiastically: "Of course you can, there are few disciples who go down the mountain before entering the realm of Yunhai." Usually I don't see a single person for more than half a month, and we usually pick them up at 5 o'clock in the evening, so it's better if you want to be early. ”
"That's great, please let the two senior sisters pick me up two hours after I leave. Lin Ling was thinking about the progress of his cultivation in the Broken Waterfall at the moment, if it weren't for Yin Xian's request, he would definitely not go out.
Chen Qingxi said solemnly: "Yinxian seniors and our family teachers are friends, since the junior brother is under the order of Yinxian's seniors, naturally I don't dare to slack off." When are you going to leave?"
"Right now. Lin Ling nodded.
"Why, you, you haven't answered my question yet!" Zhao Rui wanted to pull Lin Ling's sleeve, but Lin Ling took a step faster and stepped on Chen Qingxi's immortal sword, "What about Senior Brother Yi Han, I haven't seen him for almost a month, don't leave so quickly......"
Chen Qingxi nodded Zhao Rui's forehead and said with a sneer: "You cultivate hard, and when you can enter the Shenyun Pavilion to achieve enlightenment, you will naturally be able to see him." ”
"Really, senior sister......
Lin Ling looked back, and the large array of Cangji Mountain Gate was getting smaller and smaller, and the surrounding wind was also blocked by Chen Qingxi, and only a faint fragrance began to linger on the tip of Lin Ling's nose.
Lin Ling had never been in such close contact with 'Miss Qianjin', his cheeks were crimson at the moment, and he subconsciously held his breath, not daring to let himself smell more.
On the outskirts of Luohe City, a boy with a cloth on his face sat on his knees, gasping for breath. From Cangji Mountain to Luohe City, according to Chen Qingxi's speed, it is only the time of a cup of tea.
Chen Qingxi didn't expect Lin Ling to have such a big reaction: "Senior brother, it turns out that you are afraid of heights? This is not good, in case you want to fly in the sky in the future, what should you do? This problem, you must overcome it yourself." ”
Lin Ling didn't want to argue anything with her, so he waved his hand and gasped, "I, I know." Senior sister, go back first, and in two hours, come here to pick me up. ”
"Then be careful yourself. Chen Qingxi glanced at him suspiciously, didn't he say that this junior brother had a very high heart, and he walked to more than six hundred floors in one go?
After Chen Qingxi left, Lin Ling gradually eased his breath, he never thought that he would hold it for so long, at first it was just to not smell her hair, but then it inexplicably became a kind of competition with himself.
Is it a contest with fate? Lin Ling sneered, laughed at himself, took out the hat that had been prepared long ago from his arms, and slowly walked towards Luohe City.
There was only one big city closest to Cangji Mountain, and although Lin Ling had never been here, he was already familiar with its name.
Luohe City, the city lord Gong Shenghai, has an only son named Gong Yunluo.
In order to avoid ordinary people, the two landed in the suburbs not far from the city gate.
"Big brother, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry......"
Lin Ling didn't go far when a five-year-old girl rushed to the door.
The girl was ragged, her face was clean but even more yellow-skinned, her big eyes were full of pleading, and her thick yellow ponytails hung weakly at the back door of her head.
When her gaze moved to Lin Ling's face under the hat, she trembled and turned around in horror to escape.
The strip of cloth on his face was really scary, Lin Ling finally found the 'familiar' feeling before, stretched out his hand and retracted it, he wanted to speak and stopped, he could only smile bitterly.
"Little sister, don't be afraid. Lin Ling squatted down and stretched out the girl's thin little hand from a distance, "My brother is sick, so I bandaged it." ”
The girl glanced at Lin Ling, and touched her stomach again, a trace of contradiction appeared on her sallow little face, but in the end she finally stood firm and nodded at Lin Ling stunned.
"Luohe City can be regarded as a prosperous city, why are you alone outside the city, still hungry?" Lin Ling's eyes showed a trace of doubt.
The girl lowered her head and choked up: "My grandmother and I were originally farming outside the city, and one day a group of bad people who were soldiers came, and my grandmother was gone, I didn't dare to go back, I, my sister and I haven't eaten for two days...... Woo......"
The girl burst into tears when she spoke of her sadness.
"Soldiers?" Lin Ling is often in a small village outside the city, and naturally knows very little about the pattern of the outside world, "Is there also a war here?"
The girl lowered her head, the wind and sand scratching her tender cheeks, her hands clutching the corners of her clothes.
"Let's go, follow me, I'll take you to find something to eat. Lin Ling turned around and walked straight to the Luohe City Gate that could be seen in the distance.
He wasn't worried about whether the little girl would keep up with him.
Heaven will not have mercy on anyone, and all fates need to be decided by themselves.
The little girl secretly glanced at Lin Ling, who was ten steps away, pursed her lips, and finally cautiously followed.
In Luohe City, the flow of people was surging, and the shouts of roadside sellers and shops came and went, making Lin Ling and the girl, two children who had never entered a big city, somewhat excited.
Luohe City is one of the three counties and five cities of the Qin State, with relatively developed commerce and various industries.
Lin Ling looked for the fragrance, and unconsciously walked to a food alley and sat directly in a noodle restaurant on the side of the street.
The girl was still a little afraid of Lin Ling, even if she was sitting at the same table, she tried to sit as far away as possible, her eyes flashing, as if she was worried that something dangerous would happen at any time.
I don't know what she went through.
