Li Xuan dragged his simple bandaged left arm back to the inn with difficulty, and carefully held on to the handle of the stairs to the second floor, not wanting to wake up Li Xin, who should be asleep.

stepped on the last staircase and bumped into Li Xin's autumn-like eyes.

He didn't expect the other party to be waiting for him, and he was a little surprised.

"Why did you come back so late tonight? You're hurt!"

Li Xin's words became hurried, and he hurriedly walked towards Li Xuan and helped him into the room.

"Ran into a bastard who put cold arrows. ”

For the first time, anger appeared on Li Xuan's face, he didn't understand why the other party wanted to do something to him.

If the other party is hacked to death by himself...... That's not too much of a loss!" Li Xuan thought.

People like him will always lose their awe of strange lives inexplicably, and they often don't notice it.

Li Xin slowly lifted the clothes that Li Xuan used to wrap his left arm, saw the arrow wound that was not big or small, frowned, and said:

"If you hurt a bone, your left arm will be useless. ”

Li Xin blamed, not only because of Li Xuan's attitude towards his body, but also because he didn't want to wake himself up.

"The rotten flesh has to be cut off, you bear with it. ”

Li Xin took a knife that had been burned with fire to treat the wound, and with skillful movements, he took out a box of ointment and bandages from his room and applied it to bandage it.

After a period of time, Li Xuan's left arm will appear an arrow mark that will accompany him, it comes from a killer with superb archery skills, just like the countless large and small long and short scars on Li Xuan's body, telling the story of a person who desperately wants to live is not magnificent and somewhat bleak past.

Li Xuan lay on the bed and briefly told Li Xin what had happened, and said:

"From tomorrow our inn will be closed, and I will have to prepare well. ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Xin nodded and said:

"Don't think about it too much, rest early, it's almost dawn. ”

As she walked out the door, she was tired.

Li Xuan slept until noon, freshened up briefly, and went downstairs, a ray of scorching sunlight passed through the closed door, tirelessly providing light to the entire inn.

The shopkeeper got up early and was shocked when he saw Li Xuan coming to the backyard:

"Shopkeeper, why are you hurt?"

It is no secret that Li Xuan is extremely skilled, and the fellows and woodcutters around him who know him all know that the shopkeeper of this small inn is a master of using knives.

Sometimes Li Xuan also went back to the depths of the forest to fight some wild beasts and came back to open meat for his neighbors, ordinary people are not Li Xuan's opponents, and the shopkeeper suddenly understood why the young lady ordered him to stop the inn in the morning, and was a little surprised that the shopkeeper who was so powerful was seriously injured.

"It's out of the way, it'll be fine in a few days. ”

Li Xuan said when he saw the worry of the shopkeeper.

"It's not in the way, and I almost can't come back. ”

Li Xin's reproachful voice came from upstairs, Li Xuan shook his head with a smile, and motioned to the shopkeeper to be busy with himself.

I sat in the back of the courtroom and sat quietly, a little bored.

Li Xin brought a bowl of decoction, although Li Xuan knew that this bowl of decoction did not have much effect, but he still drank it, the so-called good medicine is bitter and good for disease, but what can be bitter is not necessarily good medicine.

Li Xuan felt that what he really needed at this time was a bowl of chicken soup or rice, and he glanced at Li Xin, who was staring at whether he had finished drinking the medicine, and had a headache, this eldest lady couldn't cook!

Since the days are no longer bumpy, Li Xuan attaches great importance to the quality of life, including time, but also some small and large trivial matters, such as eating, Li Xuan pondered and felt that this was a problem.

A month later.

Li Xuan's injuries gradually stabilized, holding the Pu knife in his right hand in the backyard to practice simple knife techniques that should not be counted as moves, every movement of the horizontal slash and slanting has saved his life, he wants to make himself more proficient, so proficient that they are like a talent he was born with, although these movements are not gorgeous at all and even look rough because they are too simple. The shopkeeper on the side had a hot look in his eyes and studied seriously.

Not far away, sitting in the shade of a tree, a lovely white dress embroidered dances in the wind.

With a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she likes this kind of life.

No one could stand the hot sun, and after a while, Li Xuan was sweating. The Pu knife in his hand also radiated a boiling heat, and the scorching heat continued to pass from the knife handle to Li Xuan to make a silent protest, Li Xuan couldn't stand it, so he walked to Li Xinsheng who was enjoying the cool and sat down.

The shopkeeper brought a bowl of water with a very eye-catching look, Li Xuan raised his head and wiped the corners of his mouth, thinking of the tiger who almost made him unable to come back, he wanted to stew a pot of big insect soup before leaving, and said his thoughts, and the beauty on the side frowned and said:

"Why are you so restless. ”

Li Xuan smiled, Xiao Er cast an adoring gaze, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily drooled.

............

When the sun finally stopped tormenting the world and hung on the top of the mountain a little tiredly, Li Xuan pinned the newly made dagger that was not easy to make into his waist and carried the Pu knife into the woods.

Half an hour later he saw the beast that was eating, and the tiger sensed his coming, and roared at him, and the roar formed an invisible wave that raged over the sea of trees around him, startling a bluebird.

Li Xuan put the knife in his right hand at the height of his chest, and rushed forward, he didn't care about sneak attacks, he wanted to slaughter the other party in a dignified manner.

The big tiger jumped up with strength, the beast's teeth holding the remnants of flesh, this person had really angered it, and the blood of the beast in his body was boiling.

Li Xuan rubbed sideways to avoid the tiger's flying pounce, and Pu Dao wanted to cut the opponent's abdomen with his high fingers, but he only cut a little fur.

What Li Xuan didn't know was that the tiger that was fighting with him had always been the king of this forest because of the alien beast blood in its body, its teeth were sharper and its muscles were more powerful, according to the age level of the species, it was in the prime of life and had a fatal attraction to the tigress, it was the top of the biological chain of this forest.

And Li Xuan's arrival was a provocation to Wang, Hu Muying was about to attack his prey with a Pu knife in his hand, and Wang opened his bloody mouth to tear Li Xuan to pieces.

Li Xuan knew that all he had to do was to dodge the tiger's attack, and then slash until the other party slowly exhausted its vigorous vitality, and sent him to Hades one by one, so the opportunity would only be at the moment when he dodged and then attacked, and he did not have the capital to withstand the opponent's full force blow at all.

But fortunately, he has been calculating for a long time.

So as Li Xuan had expected before, everything went steadily according to his script, knife marks continued to appear on the tiger's body, and scarlet beast blood continued to flow out of these incisions, Li Xuan knew that any more of these wounds or a little longer the tiger would be consumed alive by himself, he began to become patient, and his tactics changed from frontal attack to harassment waiting for the moment when the tiger breathed.

It's a mortal death for the king of the forest.

It's a pity that it doesn't think, and often the most terrible thing is not a visible murderer with infinite power, but a person who is carefully calculated and wants you to die, and you don't know who it is. Unfortunately, Li Xuan is such a person.

In the boudoir, the candles had already been blown out, and a finished men's outfit was placed on the counter in front of the bed, and Li Xin had not fallen asleep until he heard the familiar sound of gentle footsteps coming from the stairs and fell asleep.

............

Following.

A woodcutter surnamed Liu was woken up by the knock on the door and was a little angry, and hurriedly got up to open the door to scold the person who knocked on the door.

"The shopkeeper of my house slaughtered a big worm yesterday, set up a big pot and boiled it, and asked me to tell you to go and drink. ”

The shopkeeper was obviously out of breath when he ran quickly, and there was excitement on his face, and the woodcutter was overjoyed, knowing that there was meat to eat, and said happily:

"Big insect meat is a big supplement, your inn has been closed for a month, and a few of us have visited your shopkeeper, and it has only been a few days before I slaughtered a tiger and a cow, and I will go to fetch the Jiuliangye that my father treasured before his death. ”

Xiao Er smiled:

"You always go and get the wine first, just go over and call someone else. With that, he ran away in a hurry.

Liu woodcutter came to the inn all the way smelling the smell of meat, and saw a big pot in front of the inn, several acquaintances sat on the stool scattered and began to drink with their fists, the mothers-in-law sat together and chatted about the parents' shortcomings, and the children were playing together, so they laughed and scolded a few men from afar:

"You cheekless people, you are slow to do everything on weekdays, and you can run faster than anyone else when you have meat. ”

When the rough man who drew his fist heard this, he also scolded Liu Qiaofu with some swear words that belonged to them.

A few more people joined them one after another, and it was already an indispensable event in their lives.

After another half an hour, Li Xuan looked at the boiling broth in the pot and beckoned:

"The meat is ready, let's eat. ”

A few little children with saliva immediately rushed to the pot with stars in their eyes, and Liu Qiaofu poured a sip of wine and said with a pout:

"This tiger meat is a good thing, people eat longevity and strong health, you and I usually don't think about it, today is really a blessing." ”

"That is, and I don't look at who slaughtered the tiger. ”

Xiao Er, who had already returned on the side, raised his head and said, quite proud.

"Yes, since Shopkeeper Li came, we have enjoyed a lot of blessings, and I am afraid that this kindness will not be repaid in this life. ”

The other guys also nodded in agreement, and cast a grateful glance at Li Xuan, who was busy with his work, Li Xuan smiled indifferently when he heard this:

"How can you let me finish eating such a big animal? Just come, there is only one task today is to get rid of this big worm for me and keep it to occupy the space. ”

The crowd laughed and kept this friendship in their hearts.

Xiao Er went upstairs with a bowl of broth, knowing that his young lady didn't like many people.

After Li Xuan finished cutting the meat, he also sat with everyone and drank his fists, saying some common sayings that were neither big nor small, looking at the child with snot and gnawing bones, the smile grew, and he thought how good it would be if he could do this when he was a child, a certain husband's daughter-in-law who was gossiping with several other mothers-in-law noticed this, thinking that she had guessed Li Xuan's thoughts, so she had the courage to interrupt the conversation between her man and Li Xuan:

"I'm afraid that the shopkeeper Li has also reached the age of talking about marriage. ”

Everyone immediately woke up, yes! They have always been with Li Xuan as peers, Li Xuan's behavior is more mature than them, and as the days go by, they slowly forget that Li Xuan is just a young man who is not less than a weak crown, and Liu Qiaofu vaguely remembers that Li Xuan's brothers and sisters were only about fifteen or sixteen years old when they first came here a few years ago.

At this time, everyone felt that finding a suitable daughter-in-law for Li Xuan was the top priority, so they screened the women in their village who had not yet married, and Liu Qiaofu patted his head and said to another man:

"Isn't that your daughter? I blush at the mention of Shopkeeper Li, isn't it interesting to Shopkeeper Li? She looks pretty and has a big buttocks. ”。

"Say less!"

The guy scolded with his eyes, and a girl who was eating melon seeds on the side blushed and lowered her head, not daring to speak, and secretly observed Li Xuan's expression from the corner of her eye, everyone laughed, and Liu Qiaofu smirked and felt that he had drunk too much.

Li Xin was not interested in the conversation of the people downstairs, quietly watching the broth that gradually lost its temperature and had not moved the chopsticks, and had no appetite.

Time is a shrewd businessman, and it will always be stingy when people are happy.

Li Xuan felt that it was almost over, so he raised his glass and said:

"Recently, I received a letter from home, I have to go back for a while, and there are only two children left in the inn, Xiao Er and my sister, and I hope you can take care of it more. ”

It took a while for everyone to come back to their senses, and Liu Qiaofu was the first to speak after drinking.

"What are you talking about, sometimes you just have to order, don't worry, no one can bully my little sister with me. ”

The others also responded, Li Xuan thanked him, and the girl who was still blushing asked timidly:

"When will the shopkeeper leave?"

"Tomorrow. ”

The girl was a little disappointed, she didn't expect it to be so soon.

............

Early in the morning of the second day.

Li Xuan went out with the burden and the Pu knife, because he felt that Li Xin's abnormal mood behind him was a little complicated, and he walked for about two miles, and the two were speechless all the way.

Coming to the forest, Li Xuan turned around and said:

"Go back and make up for your sleep, I don't see you slept well. ”

Sensing that Li Xin was no longer following, he breathed a sigh of relief and went on the road alone.

After walking less than ten meters, there was a choked sound behind him.

Li Xuan turned around and saw that the glow spread on half of the girl's cheeks was like the only beauty left in the world, and he was a little stupid.

"You said, you told me to wait for you for a month," Ito's eyes reddened slightly.

"You know I'm going to keep waiting. ”

Li Xin's words were like a deadly shackle that wanted to tie him to death here, and he had the longing to go home before he set off, and he was about to sink.

The girl was silent and hopeful.

Time passed minute by minute, nearly a stick of incense, Li Xuan clenched the Pu knife in his hand, walked forward and decided not to look back.

"You're going to die. ”

A shout came, and Li Xuan held up the Pu Dao and shouted as if he had made a solemn oath to heaven and earth:

"I'll come back alive. ”

After a pause, he still didn't say the follow-up words, and he never returned.

The girl stood quietly in the breeze and cried about the sadness of parting, the face of the alluring city made the heaven and the earth lose color, and suddenly the wind rose, and the clouds flew, covering the slowly rising sun.
