After the guards got the order, they went out one after another, and Ling Xiao was relieved to hear the sound of squirming footsteps disappearing outside the courtyard. However, the moment he looked up, he just saw the fireworks like beans in his eyes, and it was naturally Lu Ci who was holding the fire, and he was looking at Ling Xiao with an interesting face through the faint light.

"You're not leaving?" Ling Xiao pretended to be calm, raised his eyebrows obliquely, his unkind tone was a little weak, and then snatched the fire fold in his hand and quickly blew it out. In an instant, even the glimmer was gone, and her embarrassment was completely hidden in an inky night breeze.

Lu Ci didn't care about this eviction order, his hands wrapped comfortably around his chest, turned his head to look at the vague phantom in front of him, and said, "The mansion master ordered them to go out, but he didn't order me, why should I go out?" The stumps at his feet rustled from his shaking legs, and the sound was full of rhythm, as if he was laughing at Ling Xiao's shyness at the moment.

Ling Xiao was confused by embarrassment, and he was powerless to refute Lu Ci's words, and he suddenly choked.

Although the environment was dark, Lu Jingxing could fully imagine the anxious and angry strange expression on Ling Xiao's face, coupled with her weak heart just now, forcing him to inadvertently hook the corners of his lips with a hint of banter, and the blood dripped into his mouth, with a hint of happiness and sweetness, but the words were to Lu Xiao: "I knew you would say so, since this is the case, there is just an errand entrusted to you to do." ”

"Errands? What is it?" Lu Ci stretched his head forward slightly, very curious.

The smile on Lu Jingxing's lips did not fade, he inadvertently glanced at the blurred ground, and ordered the errand seriously: "Clean up here immediately, and by the way, tidy up Xiaoxiao's house together, don't ask for anyone to help, when it's done, when to rest." ”

These errands were originally to be arranged for other people to do, who told Lu Jingxing to be in a good mood at this time, as soon as he was in a good mood, Lu Ci naturally became a victim, which also complained that Lu Ci was so good at joining in the fun, you must know that sometimes joining in the fun also has to pay a price.

"That's it? Easy to do. Then I'll go and help the woman tidy up the house first. Lu Ci patted his thigh lightly, took the fire fold in Ling Xiao's hand with a relaxed face, and walked towards the eaves with brisk steps, not in a hurry to blow the fire fold.

The three of them didn't care that this was Ling Xiao's boudoir, looking at the illusory figure that was about to enter the house, a hint of schadenfreude slipped between Ling Xiao's lips and teeth, as if his body and mind were a lot more comfortable, and sighed: "I won't be able to relax later." ”

When Lu Ci entered the door, a chill rushed towards him, and he couldn't help but shudder, and let out an exclamation: "Oops, why is it so cold." ”

The palm that Ling Xiao struck out was slightly more powerful, although it was early summer, the cold in the room had not dissipated for a long time. And Lu Ci went in recklessly, so it's strange that this cold doesn't bully him.

"Ahh Lu Ci once again suffered a slap, just took two steps, stepped on a broken porcelain piece, his foot slipped forward, with the crisp sound of the porcelain piece cutting through the clothes, he fell on his back and faced the sky, his sleeve cracked a long mouth, and he simply did not hurt the flesh.

"Lu Ci will be fine, right?" The two of them had already walked out of the tree, and when they heard the commotion in the house, Ling Xiao couldn't help but be a little worried.

Lu Jingxing calmed down and said, "It's okay." For this injury, wouldn't it be in vain to practice martial arts. It's good to let this kid move his muscles and bones, so that he doesn't have to do anything all day long. "Lu Ci is wide-hearted, and he is about to be a big enemy, and he is the only one who seems to be fine.

The pitch-black room lit up little by little in front of the two of them, and then Lu Ci's surprised sigh came from inside: "Is there a thief in the house?!" ”

Sure enough, just as Ling Xiao said, Lu Ci couldn't relax after seeing the mess in the house, and soon appeared in front of Lu Jingxing with drooping eyelids, and smiled sheepishly: "Mansion master, I will discuss something for you......"

"There is no need to discuss this matter, it is difficult to chase after a horse, and I will do it myself." Lu Jingxing interrupted Lu Ci's next words in a light tone, and instead took Ling Xiao's hand, "Let's go, let's stay in the room listening to the snow tonight." ”

"I don't think the wind has gotten bleak, hey." An inexplicable wind blew towards Lu Ci, looking at the two people who disappeared around the corner of the courtyard gate, he was crying bitterly in his heart.

The two walked silently for a distance, but Ling Xiao had been a little entangled in his heart, struggling several times, and finally turned his head to look at the person beside him: "That, the wound on the mouth, I'm sorry." ”

When the words fell, two hot shades quietly appeared on her cheeks, and she hurriedly lowered her secretly, her eyes were firmly fixed on her moving toes, and she didn't know where the calm Ling Xiao had gone.

"Is this reminding me of something?" Lu Jingxing smiled warmly, looking at Ling Xiao's half of the side face with fluorescent fluorescence, knowing that Ling Xiao was sincerely apologizing, but he just wanted to make fun of Ling Xiao.

Sure enough, Ling Xiao understood the meaning of Lu Jingxing's words, raised his head and glared at Lu Jingxing fiercely, his cheeks bulging, and he held back a sentence for a while: "You are a person...... Slippery! After speaking, he broke free of Lu Jingxing's hand and sped up his steps, but Lu Jingxing had to chase a few steps behind.

Thanks to Ling Xiao's palm, Lu Ci was really busy, and it was already the second half of the night when he was cleaning up the whole house and the stumps in that place. At this time, there was a drizzle in the dark sky, and as soon as the rain fell, it was two days, and the Dragon Boat Festival was ushered in unconsciously.

This is the first Dragon Boat Festival that Ling Xiao has spent in this world, she stood under the eaves, looking at the water curtains that flowed through the tile and fell a little distracted. Recall that this time last year, she was still fleeing alone. It was not long after that that she met the person who was worthy of her life, and looking back, time seemed to be a little unprepared.

The Dragon Boat Festival in the Central Plains is like Chongyang, and large-scale sacrificial activities must be held in the city. Although the rivers and lakes are now turbulent, making people panic and raining, it still can't stop people from watching the sacrificial ceremony.

After breakfast, the finch went out with Lu Ci and Zidi, and followed the crowded crowd in the direction of the altar.

Zidi will eventually arrive at the medical hall, but it will only pass by the altar halfway. And Lu Ci and Que'er are completely here to join in the fun, how can such a thing be missing Lu Ci. It's just that there are more people in the mansion now, and he doesn't have to pester Ling Xiao to accompany him out like last time. Ling Xiao knew the childish nature of Qi'er, so she let her go with Lu Ci, even if she was in danger, Lu Ci was there.

When Lu Jingxing came to look for Ling Xiao, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin, and the location was still where Lu Jingxing took Ling Xiao last time, it was on that day that Ling Xiao almost collided with Yanling Zhan, and now he feels scared when he thinks about it.

The people all ran to see the sacrificial ceremony, the street seemed deserted, Ling Xiao shuttled with Lu Jingxing among the pedestrians, looking at a hazy rain curtain. Seeing that the street they were walking on at this time did not seem to be in the direction of going to the altar, Ling Xiao was curious for a moment, and asked casually, "Where are we going?" ”

"Walking everywhere, it's rare that people on the street go to see the sacrifice, it's so clean." Ever since Lu Jingxing had taken Ling Xiao to see the Chongyang Sacrifice Ceremony last time, he knew that Ling Xiao's attitude towards these ceremonies was actually the same as his—he wasn't interested. It's a pity not to go out for a walk on such a pleasant rainy day.

The two walked all the way, and unconsciously arrived in front of the "Qiming Building". Lu Jingxing looked at the closed Zhumen and stopped, it was only a few months, because no one took care of it, and the black-bottom plaque was already covered with cobwebs. The thick dust on the stone steps formed brown stains under the rain, and it was difficult to hide the coldness.

Touching the scene is inevitably emotional, Ling Xiao knew that Lu Jingxing was thinking of his old friend. Although Lu Jingxing has many friends, there are only a few who really make friends, he cherishes Ning Yan, a close friend, but God will make people, and the joint cut happened too suddenly, and he didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

The raindrops crackled and slapped on the umbrella, looking at the silent face under the oil-paper umbrella, Ling Xiao wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, but he was speechless for a while, and he was silent for a long time, and finally stretched out his soft hand and held Lu Jingxing's weakly lowered hand tightly.

The coldness of his palm pulled Lu Jingxing's mind back to reality, he turned his head sideways at Ling Xiao and hooked his lower lip slightly, his slightly sad gaze fell on the plaque again, and he elaborated to himself: "I met Ning Yan in the Western Regions, and now five years have passed. At that time, he had just left the school, and we had a tea conversation at an inn, and then we went together. Less than a year after returning home, he turned against his family because he couldn't get used to his father's style and opened this teahouse alone. He once told me that he had only two wishes in this life. ”

Seeing that Lu Jingxing stopped speaking halfway through, Ling Xiao's curiosity was aroused: "Two? ”

"Yes." Lu Jingxing bowed, "First, I will pass on my tea art skills to the world. In fact, in addition to tea art, what he is best at is light work, and few people in the rivers and lakes can disagree with him. ”

Ling Xiao stared at the words "Qi Ming Lou" and asked, "What about the other one?" For the tea art, Ling Xiao felt that Yanling Chu seemed to be better, but Yanling Chu had been hidden in the mountains for a long time, and no one knew about it. The tea of Yanling Chu is even more expansive in it, which is the difference between cultivators.

"The other is to help his junior sister avenge the murder of his father, but who would have thought that ......" Lu Jingxing's face was calm, but he couldn't go on with the following words.

Ling Xiao fell on Lu Jingxing's face with the soft wave in his eyes: "Feng Baiyue." It's just a matter of making people. At the end of the day, we're all just puppets played with by fate. Jing Xing, people can't be resurrected after death, maybe this is not a relief for Ning Yan, we should also look away. ”

"Xiao Xiao is right." As soon as the words mixed with the sound of rain fell, Lu Jingxing suddenly became alert, his eyes swept around, and he let go of Ling Xiao's hand and grabbed the Lu Li sword on his waist, "Be careful, the murderous spirit is heavy." ”

Ling Xiao didn't dare to take it lightly when he heard this, nodded slightly to Lu Jingxing to signal that he already knew, and slowly reached for the hilt of the sword. But suddenly, a rapid and brisk footsteps mixed with the sound of rain sounded among the tiles, and more than two dozen masked black-clothed men who were drenched in the rain fell from the rooftops on both sides, causing countless splashes and instantly surrounding the two of them.
