The man finally woke up, and Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Taking care of people is not an easy task, and just feeding water and porridge is quite troublesome. Now that this person is speaking neatly, and the lumps on his body have almost disappeared, he should be able to take care of himself.

Wait a minute...... What did this man say?

Xu Lin recalled for a moment, then looked at this person again, and then he was shocked to find one thing, this turned out to be a woman! Still not right, Xu Lin took a closer look at this person's face, although it still looked too round, but it was clearly a childish girl.

How could this look like a little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old...... So swollen?

Xu Lin felt that he was in big trouble, and in order to take care of the other party in the past few days, he had touched this little girl a lot. Although it is to channel the internal force to channel the poisonous blood in her body, and at the same time maintain her vitality.

However, an old man in his twenties and twenties has a hand on a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, which is at least three years, and if he is unlucky, he will be killed directly.

Xu Lin thinks that he is not a decent man, but the bottom line is still there, when nothing has happened, he will never be able to do it, so he can only say sincerely: "Girl, I have been offended a lot these days, I didn't know that the girl was a woman at that time." ”

It seemed a little hurtful to say this, but it was true, and the little girl was swollen all over her body at that time, and she couldn't see her face clearly. She was wearing men's clothes again, and Xu Lin didn't take off her clothes, of course she didn't know.

Now Xu Lin is also glad that he didn't take off his clothes to heal his injuries, otherwise it would not be at least three years, it would be the least number of cuts, and the highest cut.

Xu Lin is ready to accept a round of hoarse accusations, and maybe he can still see the plot of crying, making trouble and hanging himself. But no, the little girl just struggled to get up from the bed, and the mere action made her sweat profusely.

Xu Lin wanted to help, but he really didn't dare. I was able to shirk it before and say that I didn't know, but now I dare to touch it, so I really can't explain it.

The little girl spent almost all her strength to sit down, and then panted and said to Xu Lin, "Engong is above, please ...... Please bow down to me. ”

After saying that, the little girl bent down, but her body was extremely weak, how could she support it, and she fell headlong. This time, Xu Lin didn't dare not help, otherwise this fall would kill him, so he had to stretch out his hands to support the little girl's shoulders.

Xu Lin carefully straightened the little girl and asked her to sit firmly on the edge of the bed, and then said to her, "You're welcome, it's just a gesture." In the past few days, it is my sin to offend the girl a lot, please forgive me. ”

"Engong doesn't need to be like this, the little girl's life was saved by you, and there is nothing to repay for being a slave and a maid in this life." The little girl said very seriously.

Xu Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, the victim did not pursue it, and finally there was no need to make a decision.

After calming down, Xu Lin began to be curious, what is the relationship between this little girl and the Governor's Palace, and why is she following behind their carriage?

"How did you come to follow our carriage before you asked the girl's name?" Xu Lin asked straight to the point.

The little girl didn't hide it, and slowly told her life experience.

Her surname is Xue, her nickname is Qingcao, she is thirteen years old this year, and she is just an ordinary peasant girl. It's just that one day, someone from the governor's palace suddenly said that a steward of the governor's house wanted to take her as a concubine. Xue Qingcao didn't know what was going on, and later realized that it was her parents who sold her to the people in the Governor's Mansion after receiving a few taels of silver.

The one who wants to marry Xue Qingcao is the third housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion, an old man who is almost sixty years old. When I came to collect rent before, I occasionally saw Xue Qingcao, and I had the heart to snatch it back and play it day and night.

It is good to say that concubines are actually not much different from slaves, without any etiquette rules, and directly bring people to the governor's palace.

Xue Qingcao was just a peasant girl, and she didn't know what she was going to face. If there had been no accident, she would have been a bad old man's plaything that night.

Most of these powerful old men themselves are no longer good, and they will use various methods to torture women for fun, as if in this way they can prove that they are still a "man". If you are lucky, you can barely survive with Israel, but if you are unlucky, you may be tortured to death that night.

But a fire saved Xue Qingcao, and the Governor's Mansion was in chaos at that time, and no one cared about this little girl. Xue Qingcao knew that this was her last chance in life, so she took advantage of the chaos to change her clothes, and then stole a horse and ran away.

At that time, everyone was attracted by the majestic Wangcai, and they were really run out by Xue Qingcao.

Xue Qingcao has never ridden a horse, but he has ridden a donkey pulled by the family. Xue Qingcao usually didn't know the direction of the door, she just buried her head in the direction away from the Governor's Palace, but she ran almost day and night, so she caught up with Xu Lin and the others who ran ten miles first.

Next, Xue Qingcao probably ran out of luck, and the wasp attracted by the Scarlet King almost stung her to death, but fortunately she was rescued by Xu Lin.

Hearing Xue Qingcao's words, Xu Lin pondered for a moment and said with emotion: "It seems that this burning of the Governor's Mansion still hurt the innocent, this is my negligence." ”

He Tianhua, the governor of Tiannan Province, colluded with the barbarians to privately kidnap the common people for slave trafficking, which can be said to be a crime that deserves death, and is a crime against the nine tribes. Xu Lin didn't think so much about it at the time, so he asked Wangcai to set it on fire.

The first is to seek justice for his parents, the second is to help the second prince cover, and the third is to deduct the black pot for the Kongsang faction. At that time, he still proudly felt that he would kill three birds with one stone, and this trick was used well. But now listening to Xue Qingcao say this, this fire may also burn some people who don't deserve to die.

After all, not everyone in the Governor's Mansion was full of evil, and not everyone was as lucky as Xue Qingcao to escape.

In the final analysis, Xu Lin is only walking the rivers and lakes for the first time, even if his nature is not bad, he can't avoid the habit of the people in the rivers and lakes taking care of their own pleasure and ignoring the innocent.

This may be the place where Jianghu people have always been criticized.

Hearing Xu Lin say this, Xue Qingcao didn't know how to comfort him, he only felt that Xu Lin had saved himself, but he was saddened by what he had just said, so wouldn't he be extremely evil in avenging his crimes?

"Eun Gong, I'm sorry, it's all the grass's fault......"

As he spoke, Xue Qingcao's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Xu Lin came back to his senses and saw that Xue Qingcao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but this little girl didn't dare to cry loudly and made a muffled sound.

Xu Lin looked funny, he was really dumbfounded, when he listened to the nonsense of the apprentices before, he thought it was imagined by the group of bachelors themselves.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's none of your business. It is only now that I remember what my master said to me. This river and lake is a lake of blood, and if you step into it with one foot, this blood cannot be washed away. Xu Lin comforted.

Xu Lin was not a saint in the first place, but a complete Jianghu person. Maybe there are heroes who can guarantee that they have never killed any good person by mistake in this life, but Xu Lin knows that he can't do it. It's like the Iron Sword Gate, and the Edgeworth Gate is as deep as the sea.

Xu Lin said that he wanted to destroy this sect, but there were no innocent people in it? However, because of these people, Xu Lin gave up revenge, or did he go to the government side one by one to fight a lawsuit for justice?

This is a river and lake.

If he wants to become the first sect of the Martial Alliance, he will definitely kill more people in the future, and when the time comes, he may not be able to distinguish what is innocent and what is the way to die. But even if he had to go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death, Xu Lin had already prepared for it.
