Chapter 11: The Ground Trembles

Lin Xuewei won't have an accident, right?

Fire?

The demons found her?

Lu Ren felt uneasy in his heart, the time for the return of the demon clan army was getting closer and closer, how could he be so negligent?

Maybe subconsciously, he still treats this place as a dream.

But when he noticed that Lin Xuewei was in danger, for some reason, his heart was inexplicably tight at this time.

He looked down from the window to see the direction of the descent, silently remembered the route of the descent in his mind, and then pushed open the door and ran down the mountain in a hurry, the cold wind blew the robe on his body and hunted, and the branches on both sides of the mountain road scraped on his body and ached faintly.

At this time, he didn't care about so much, his whole mind was about Lin Xuewei's safety.

"She shouldn't have been left there alone. ”

Bypassing a complicated and rugged mountain road, turning around, the scenery on both sides became familiar, and the smell of smoke in the air became stronger and stronger, and Lu Ren's footsteps ran more quickly.

A quarter of an hour later, he rushed to the door of the dining room, gasping for breath, and did not dare to stop at all, and rushed in with a lunge.

"Lin Xuewei!"

He shouted Lin Xuewei's name loudly.

The courtyard was empty, and the clothes and water tanks and salted fish were neatly placed in the yard as usual, not like the demon clan breaking in, and there was not the slightest trace of fighting.

Lin Xuewei is not in the yard, what about her?

She usually cultivates in the courtyard when she is fine, where can she go?

Smoke billowed out of the room like a black dragon, and the doors and windows of the room were all open.

"Ahem......"

The sound of a woman coughing came from the room.

Lin Xuewei?

She's in the room!

Lu Ren kicked the door open and rushed in.

"Lin Xuewei, you ......"

In the thick smoke, a white figure squatted in front of the stove, hurriedly stuffing firewood into the fire hole, standing up from time to time, lifting the lid of the pot, and being hot, he hurriedly threw the lid off and made a clanging sound.

As if hearing the movement behind her, she hurriedly turned back, her usually cold face was black at this time, revealing a pair of innocent eyes, she was trying to hold her breath with her true qi, and saw Lu Ren rushing in, with a look of relief in her eyes.

"You're finally back, ahem...... The pot is mushy...... I added firewood, but the rice couldn't be cooked......"

Lu Ren was relieved to see that she was fine.

It's good that people are okay!

His gaze fell on the red-hot iron pot behind her, and at this time, the pot of rice had been smoked by the kang, and the smell of burnt rice flowers was emitted.

Suddenly, he remembered the open doors and windows, and the billowing smoke.

"Stupid, who told you to open the window!" he yelled in a low voice.

......

In Fenglin Town, thirty miles away from the Sword Washing Pavilion, a beautiful woman wearing purple tulle looked at the smoke rising from the mountains and forests in the distance, and the corners of her mouth curled a little.

"Is that you......"

Her palm gently caressed her left arm, where there was a scar three months ago.

......

The kitchen is like the scene of a fire, and the entire wall is blackened from the corners to the roof.

Open windows, ventilate, clean up the mess.

After Lu Ren finally cleaned up, he turned around, and then he saw the current appearance of Lin Xuewei, who was standing silently.

She stood aside, her long hair was messy, her face was as black as carbon, and she wanted to reach out to help several times, but was ruthlessly rejected by Lu Ren.

Lu Ren is a little afraid of her now.

In case she does a favor and gives the house again, the two of them will probably have to drink the northwest wind.

"Who cooks without water......"

Lu Ren thought to himself, looking at the devastation of the house, and smiled dumbly.

He walked out of the room and into the courtyard, took out a clean cloth and washed it in the water tank, returned to the room and handed it over.

Lin Xuewei silently took it and wiped her face without saying a word.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

Lu Ren thought that he would say something after all, although the two of them usually didn't speak, but at this time, they always had to say something.

"In the future, I'll do the cooking. ”

“...... Well. ”

"I didn't hit a roe deer today, probably, we're going to go hungry. ”

“......”

"I shouldn't have yelled at you just now. ”

"It's fine. ”

Lin Xuewei lowered her head, and her voice was like a mosquito.

Lu Ren glanced at her, covered in carbon gray,

"Why don't you wash it first?"

"Huh?"

Lin Xuewei was stunned, and looked back at the scrapped iron pot, a little ashamed, but Lu Ren couldn't see it with a black face: "But...... I can't boil the water. ”

Although her face was wiped over, her hair was full of a smoky smell, and for her, who had a habit of cleanliness, she wanted to wash it now, but she didn't dare to speak because she was in trouble.

"There was another one in the cellar. ”

Lu Ren pushed open his bed, revealing the cellar under the bed, got in, and turned out an iron pot from it.

Boil a pot of water, and there is a burst of heat in the house.

The water boiled in a few moments.

At this time, Lu Ren heard what Lin Xuewei said, but the voice was too small for him to hear clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?"

Lin Xuewei's body stiffened, her face turned to the window, looking at the sun outside the window that refused to set, and for a long time, her subtle voice floated over.

This time, he heard clearly, and what she said was, "Can you go any further?"

Lu Ren was stunned.

I looked at the sunset outside the window and lit up the whole sky, and I was stunned.

On weekdays, when she takes a bath, it is at night when it is dark, Lu Ren will consciously walk out of the room after boiling water, and she will take a bath in the room.

At that time, although she was worried that Lu Ren would peek, but her cultivation was extremely high, and as long as Lu Ren approached the room, she would immediately be alert.

Today is different.

It would still be daytime, and even though he stood in the courtyard as usual, he could still see the faint curves just through the thin layer of window paper.

She wanted to put it off until the evening, but it was dirty.

Lu Ren could hear that there was a bit of shyness in her words.

Icebergs melted?

"Hmm. ”

He nodded, walked out of the room, left the dining room, and sat down on the bluestone steps at the entrance of the dining room.

The grass under his feet swayed casually, and the sound of rushing water from the house could be faintly heard.

He touched the scroll in his arms, and felt a little restless in his heart, as if an invisible insect was scratching at his heart, and his throat was a little tight.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment, and Lin Xuewei's voice sounded in the courtyard.

"Alright, come in. ”

Lu Ren walked into the courtyard, walked straight to the water tank, and took a sip of cold water.

Instantly cleared of heart and few desires.

After drinking the water, he turned around, only to see that Lin Xuewei was wearing his long gown, and her snow-white clothes had been soaked in the basin.

His robe looked much more empty on Lin Xuewei's body, and the wet ends of his hair matched her peerless appearance made Lu Ren feel that the fire that had just fallen was rising again.

Lin Xuewei was a little embarrassed by him.

Suddenly, she noticed that Lu Ren's brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression became nervous.

"Do you feel ......" Lu Ren's eyes stared at the trembling branches and leaves: "The ground is trembling......"
