The golden gate of the Duan family, which was criticized by the world but priceless, slowly opened, and the one-legged young man carried a branch that had just been broken off from the trunk, moved his body step by step, and walked down the white jade steps.

The golden door slowly closed.

From time to time, the crowd on the street glanced at this lonely young man, shook his head and smacked his lips, and broke his leg at such a young age, as if the fingers of his left hand were gone.

It's kind of pathetic.

But it was just a look of pity, swept away, the crowd still came and went, and no one cared about the poor man who had broken his leg and lost his fingers.

The young man walked on the edge of the bustling street, his figure gradually disappearing.

Above the towering wall of the Duan family's mansion in the distance, the slender young man was silent, just staring at the stumbling back of the young man with a broken leg.

After a moment, the young man turned his head to look at the mansion, his gaze beyond the layers of obstacles, and looked at the huge black figure standing in the courtyard, motionless, like an eternal sculpture.

The young man threw his head back and let out a long breath.

? How can everything in the world go as desired?

The one-legged young man in the black robe walked for a long time, and the base of his thigh and the five fingers of his left hand were already soaked with blood, and he found an alley with his back against the wall, stabilized his body, and then took out the sound transmission stone.

"Allure. ”

Qin Ji said calmly: "Where are you now?"

Dark Phoenix's lazy voice came: "In the outer city, I'm looking for a house, and I've seen a few, but it's not very decent." ”

Qin Ji said softly: "No need to look for it, take Lin'er and them out of the imperial capital." ”

There was silence on the other side of the sound transmission stone.

Qin Ji repeated: "Leave the imperial capital." ”

Qin Ji paused and continued: "If you don't want to go back to the upper half of the country, you can find a place for them to live in Dayuan Prefecture or Shouzhou." ”

The Black Phoenix was silent for a long time, but the last person to speak was Qin Lin's whisper: "Okay." ”

Qin Ji hung up the transmission.

The young man who could barely stand with his back against the wall knocked the green brick behind his head lightly.

In this foreign land.

He was finally alone.

That's nice.

Qin Ji dialed out a voice again, and said, "After passing through, come to Black Ink City to pick me up." ”

Jiang Jingqing, who was cultivating in the academy, put down the transmission, changed into simple clothes, and hired a carriage to gallop over.

When Jiang Jing arrived in Black Ink City two days later, and saw the young man in a black robe sitting on the cold ground at the entrance of the alley, he pursed his lips tightly and was silent.

Beside him, there were a few gold coins and some leftovers, which must have been left by the kind hearts of passers-by in the past two days.

The young man opened his eyes, which had been closed for two days, and a smile appeared on his pale face: "Here we are." ”

Jiang Jingqing nodded lightly, leaned over and wanted to carry the young man on his back, but when he touched the empty left leg, his palm stiffened.

The carriage drove out of Black Ink City.

"Brother Ji, where are you going?"

Jiang Jingqing came by car, and at the moment he was sitting outside holding the reins and asked.

"Go back to the academy. ”

The black-robed young man replied.

Speechless all the way.

It was another two days, and the carriage stopped on the wide and abnormal avenue, it stands to reason that a third-rate Flowing Fire Academy is not qualified to have such a wide avenue at all, but it can't stand the wealth of the Tianlong Academy not far away, and even these ten miles of streets have been expanded like this.

The entrance to the academy was empty, it was late at night, and there was no one there.

Jiang Jingqing helped Qin Ji get out of the carriage and walked towards the academy.

Abruptly, Qin Ji's footsteps stopped.

He turned his head without joy or sorrow, and looked to his left, under the green and lush roadside canopy, a woman who had been standing for an unknown amount of time.

The woman was dressed in a red robe, like a little fire in the dark night.

Maybe it's providence, there happened to be another carriage parked at the door, and the gentle woman who got off the carriage walked forward casually, and Qianqianyu fingers shook the small pendant in her hand that she didn't know where to go.

The gentle woman who had gone out to play around and was going back to sleep suddenly stopped, the pendant in her hand fell to the ground, and she looked at the young man who was supported by Jiang Jinggan in a daze.

The black-robed young man suddenly smiled and beckoned to Chu Xiaoxiao.

The latter made a fool of himself and walked over obediently.

The young man grabbed Chu Xiaoxiao's soft and boneless little hand, Jiang Jing let go of Qin Ji with interest, and Chu Xiaoxiao subconsciously supported the young man.

"Let's go. ”

The young man said calmly.

Chu Xiaoxiao's delicate body was a little stiff, and he helped Qin Ji to walk inside.

The palms of the two men clasped tightly.

The corners of the woman in red under the canopy of the tree twitched slightly.

He's still so proud.

Pride is distressing.

"Hoo ......"

The woman in red tightened the snow-white fox velvet scarf around her white neck.

The woman who wanted to smile was in tears at the moment.

In the darkness, this red glow gradually shrank and disappeared.

The three of them returned to the single-family dormitory halfway up the mountain.

Jiang Jingqing stood silently on the side, Qin Ji sat on the bed, took off his black robe, Chu Xiaoxiao lowered his head, stepped forward to untie the blood-stained bandages for Qin Ji, and gently wrapped the new ones.

The room was silent.

After finishing the processing, Chu Xiaoxiao took a step back, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait. ”

Qin Ji suddenly spoke.

The young man smiled and said, "I'll tell you a story today." ”

Chu Xiaoxiao's little face was slightly ruddy, and she looked up at Qin Ji in surprise, the latter smiled softly, and under Qin Ji's gaze, Chu Xiaoxiao sat down on the stool next to her.

Qin Ji's soft voice sounded slowly in the room.

"Once upon a time, there were three guys, on the side of the road met a girl who was bullied by a rich kid, the girl refused to give in, was slapped by the angry rich kid, one of the three people went up and asked her if she wanted to help, the girl ignored him, and left alone. ”

Qin Ji didn't look at Chu Xiaoxiao again, but kept looking at the opposite wall, and his tone was gentle.

Later, in a private school, the three people met this girl again, you say it is a coincidence, this woman happens to be in the same class as them, and what is even more coincidental is that the rich kid is also in it, the rich kid continues to pester the girl, the girl is overwhelmed, and finally in a cafeteria, when the rich kid is entangled, he smashes the food in his hand and the plate at the rich kid. ”

"Children, they all value face, not to mention that this rich kid who is arrogant and domineering on weekdays is watched by so many people, he feels that he has lost face, and he can't care about any demeanor, and he wants to beat this girl in public. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao opened his mouth and said: "Heroes save beauty? ”

Qin Ji smiled, and he didn't know what it meant, laughing at himself, bitter, or just wanting to laugh?

"No, that rich kid has a big background in the private school, so a delicate girl was beaten to the ground by him, pressed to the ground and kicked and stepped on, no one went up to stop him, even the tutor of the private school just glanced at it from a distance and walked away silently, not to mention others. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao frowned her good-looking willow eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Bastards who only bully girls, those three who watch the show are not a good thing." ”

"That's right, those three people are really not anything, and they are even chatting and laughing while watching melon seeds. ”

Qin Ji continued: "After the fight, the rich kid took a group of fox friends and dog friends and left directly, the girl got up from the ground, sorted out her loose hair a little in the strange eyes of the canteen, and then cleaned up the food on the ground, re-cooked the meal, and sat in the corner alone. ”

"No one heard any voice from her mouth, not any cry, not any tears, and she was silent like a cowardly little fox, silent. ”

"The afternoon class after the meal was boring, two of the trio escaped, the man wanted to escape, but then I don't know why, he didn't escape, after the noon incident, the table next to the girl was vacant, because the rich kid who occupied the table had lost interest in her, the man took the place, but instead of pestering her, after sitting down, he took out a small pocket dagger from his sleeve, put it on her lap from under the table, and took the opportunity to rub the oil. ”

There was a little more smile in Qin Ji's voice, but Chu Xiaoxiao was silent.

The girl held the little dagger and didn't speak for a single lesson, until the end of the lesson, when everyone had left the room, leaving her and the man next to her still in their seats, and she asked him, what did he mean? He just smiled and pointed to his heart. ”

Then at the end of the school day, a group of people from the local government came at the school gate, and even the county officials rushed to tie up a girl, and at the school gate, there was a person lying in a pool of blood, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, with a small pocket dagger stuck in his chest. ”

Qin Ji's voice stopped, and Chu Xiaoxiao reacted, looking at him in surprise.

"And then?"

Chu Xiaoxiao frowned and asked.

"No, this is the end of the story, of course you can taste your life if you kill someone, and you know the ending. ”

Qin Ji said with a smile.

Chu Xiaoxiao stared at Qin Ji for a while.

"I'll leave first. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao stood up.

"Xiaoxiao!"

Qin Ji suddenly shouted, and said with a bright smile: "I'm like this now, will you still like me?"

A light flush appeared on the gentle woman's little face.

The delicate woman, who had always been down-to-earth and generous, turned around and nodded.

The young man's eyes gradually blurred, but the picture in his mind was a scene from a long time ago.

It was a dark and damp prison, where the felons who were beheaded by the Autumn Queen were held, but there was a delicate girl huddled in the corner with her knees crossed, looking out of place and unusually weak.

There was a sound of keys and chains, and the girl looked up at the man who had given her the little pocket dagger.

"Do you regret it?"

The man asked.

The girl shook her head stubbornly and bit her lip.

"Well, it's good if you don't regret it, if you regret it, I can take you out. ”

The man nodded, but the second half of what he said could make many prisoners in this prison go crazy.

The girl was as silent as ever, and it was not until the man was about to leave that she got up, her anklets ringing, and spoke for the first time.

That night, I don't know what she said, I only know that the man smiled brightly, and then took the girl's hand all the way out of the dark prison, and the county officials and masters outside and the big and small officials all stood aside tremblingly.

......

The young man on the bed stood up, stretched out his arms, and suddenly grabbed the soft and delicate body in front of him.

Chu Xiaoxiao's body was stiff and abnormal.

No one could hear the young man's muttering.

"Congratulations, after spending so much, you finally exhausted all my love for you. ”
