Chapter 18: The Bitterness of Water
Leaving Han Sen's gang and looking at the direction, Xu Lang walked straight to the direction of Tianyun Mountain. But he found that Xi Ruoshui still followed behind and didn't leave him for a single step, which made him very helpless and even a little broken.
"Sorry girl, you see, I am no longer in any danger, and they are separated from Hansen, which means that I am safe now, didn't your teacher Eliza say that you will end the mission when I am not in danger and safe, so you can go now. β
Xu Lang really can't stand this girl who is next to her except for peeing, it's not that Xu Lang hates her, he still has some pity for pity, a girl who looks half an angel and half a devil, seems to have been abandoned by the teacher, and her slender and bumpy figure reveals indescribable anger and unwillingness. This made Xu Lang have a headache, he felt that now that Xi Ruoshui returned to the master, he would definitely be humiliated, and he might even lose his life, but it was impossible for him to wander around with such an unrelated person.
It's a pity that Ruoshui's expression is still as indifferent as ice, and he didn't even glance at Xu Lang, just fluttering around him, you have a thousand words, I have a certain command, this kind of collapse of neglect and kraft candy-like stickiness makes Xu Lang cry without tears and is very uncomfortable.
Xu Lang, who was tired of walking, came to a small stream, he lay under the big tree, simply ignored the woman who made him helpless, and fell asleep groggy.
The night gradually covered the surroundings, a sound made the sleeping Xu Lang come over, he opened his eyes, and saw that a fire had been raised in Xiruoshui, and next to the fire were placed two dead running birds, this kind of bird was not good at flying, but the speed of running was very fast, fierce and abnormal, and the meat was delicious, few ordinary people would catch them.
Pity Ruoshui sat by the fire, aimlessly adding wooden sticks to the fire, and the plump body wrapped in white clothes revealed endless loneliness and loneliness. Seeing this scene in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Xu Lang got up, walked to the fire, picked up two running birds and walked to the creek to clean up, and then began to string them up with wooden sticks, roasted on top of the fire, over time, the meat of the running bird gradually became fragrant, took out some condiments and sprinkled on it, although he was not in the mood, but he was a mercenary all the year round to do tasks outside, and he would always have dinner and sleep with his brothers at night, so Xu Lang's skills in the wild survival skills are very strong, and the food collection and production in the wild are also equally strong, and several people also joked: If you don't be a mercenary in the future, let's open a barbecue restaurant together, while selling money for fun, while eating by yourself.
In fact, it was not very elaborate, but the rich fragrance of the running bird still made the hungry Xu Lang swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, at this time, Xi Ruoshui's stomach sounded a few times, a trace of blush appeared on the angelic right face, turned over on the fire, and tore off a running bird's thigh and handed it to Xi Ruoshui, the woman did not refuse, and after a few days of getting along, this woman did not have any precautions with Xu Lang, but had a feeling of taking it for granted, the speechless Xu Lang shook his head, and he also tore off a piece of meat and ate it.
"Sorry girl, since you must be by my side, can you tell me about you? Although I don't know what happened, but there is always a reason for it, and I don't want you to bring me any danger by my side, I don't know the reason for my death, so it's unfair to me. β
Xu Lang looked at Xi Ruoshui, since he couldn't drive away, he simply didn't rush for so long, but he figured out the reason, Xi Ruoshui's shoulders paused, his eyes stared at the flickering flames, and he fell into silence all of a sudden.
The disappointed Xu Lang didn't say anything, he just wanted to stand up, when Xi Ruoshui finally made a sound for the first time in a few days.
"I am the daughter of Tianning City Lord Xi Tiande, when my father was young, I saved a dying girl, this dying girl is a disciple of a large sect, a trip met a hostile sect, a line of brothers and sisters all died in battle, this girl escaped in the middle and was rescued by her father, at that time her father was not the city lord, so he hid the girl in his room from his grandfather, the same is more than half a year, as time went by, his father gradually fell in love with this girl who was a few years younger than himself, just after the girl was sick, he finally contacted the teacher, seeing that the girl's master came to take away the girl, the father bravely put forward his admirationγ β
Speaking of this, Xi Ruoshui's face was a little abnormally flushed, and her tone began to resent, and she gritted her teeth and said.
Her master didn't look at a worldly child who didn't have much cultivation and development at all, and laughed at his father like an ant, and was very angry because of his father's behavior, on the grounds that unreasonable courtship was an insult in disguise, and at this time, the girl's attitude changed instantly, ignoring her father, and her grandfather, who knew everything, immediately came to his knees and begged them to let his father go, and promised to pay a lot of wealth and resources to their sect every year, and the matter was over. β
Xi Ruoshui's eyes were full of sadness, Xu Lang had just experienced this kind of class inequality, so he could deeply understand this helpless sadness.
"My disheartened father got married under my grandfather's arrangement, and gave birth to me that year, and my father finally inherited my grandfather's title and became the lord of the city through hard work. β
"When I was ten years old, the girl came to my house to receive the annual tribute, and saw me, perhaps to repay the kindness of her life that year, or to appease us and take me as a disciple. β
When Xu Lang heard this, he said to Xi Ruoshui: "This girl is the current Eliza?"
"Yes, Eliza is my master, the one my father rescued back then. β
Xu Lang touched his nose, smiled bitterly, and thought to himself: This woman is really ruthless, her heart is like a poisonous scorpion, and she can't help but have some worries about Tanya.
"Over the years, the master didn't like me, almost ignored me, so I had to work my own, but my qualifications are not very good, and it is impossible to get the attention of the teacher. β
"A year ago, I wrote from home, saying that my father was seriously ill, and when I returned home and found that my father was not seriously ill but injured, my father told me that he had inadvertently obtained this cultivation cheats, and the news didn't know how to spread out, and I worked hard to get a cheat book for my children, so my father asked me to secretly practice at home, while arranging for manpower to defend, and I practiced at home for a year. Finally, the wicked people attacked our house, the whole family died in battle, and when my father's life was dying, the master who got the news brought people to arrive, and my father, who had no hope of surviving, hoped that the master could take care of me, and gave me a secret book as a reward, and asked me to follow the master to practice, and the master agreed at that time. β
