The weather was gloomy all day, but not a drop of rain fell. After this spy incident, everyone has their own thoughts, and the comfortable mood disappears. After nightfall, they all went back to their rooms early. After Ling Xiao returned to the room, her head was a little dizzy due to the heavy burden of her heart, so she fell asleep directly.

In the second half of the night, a strong light seemed to tear open a jagged and distorted hole in the dark night, and the snow light in the room completely woke Ling Xiao from her daze and light sleep, and then a thunderclap seemed to sound outside the roof, which frightened her whole person suddenly, and the fear in her heart along with that long-ago scene all appeared in her heart.

The wind howled outside the window, followed by a flash of strong light, Ling Xiao buried his face in the thin quilt and did not slow down, through the thin quilt, his eyes were still bright, and he fell into silent darkness in an instant.

"Boom!"

"Ahh

The silence was only for a moment, and a thunderclap burst again, deafening, forcing Ling Xiao to scream, and the aftermath lingered outside the roof for a long time, and her whole heart seemed to tremble. She knew that the shadow caused by the thunder and lightning would never be able to heal her.

Bearing the deafening thunder, Ling Xiao shuddered in the thin jacket, and couldn't help cursing in his heart, I really don't know what kind of ghost weather this is, now that it has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is still such a night of lightning and thunder.

The door creaked open with a bolt of lightning, and then closed softly again, the sound of hurried footsteps echoing in the darkness in the direction of the bed.

"Xiao Xiao, don't be afraid, I'm here."

That clear and gentle call fell into Ling Xiao's ears like this, and at this moment, she seemed to find a warm halo in the cold, and hurriedly poked her head out of the thin jacket, breathed freely, and responded: "Jing Xing." ”

The tent shook lightly twice, and the elegant and familiar breath crept in, diffusing into Ling's nose, and before the thunder after the lightning came, she had been tightly embraced into the warm arms of the comer, and a kind of stability instantly emerged from the bottom of her heart.

"Boom!"

This thunder was brewing for a long time, and finally it fell. Ling Xiao buried his head deep in Lu Jingxing's arms, but his body still couldn't help but tremble.

I'm afraid that only thunder and lightning can easily break all her strength and expose the fragility of her heart to the fullest. Of course, this is also the side she doesn't want others to see, but this is the third time Lu Jingxing has seen her like this.

The first time the two met for the first time, she pretended to be calm in front of him that night, he knew that she was strong, so he didn't break it. The second time, although she didn't hide it in front of him, he could only stand by and watch because of other things. And this time, although she took the initiative to accept his care, the effect of such care was still not great.

"Xiao Xiao, the thunder and lightning in the future, we will face it together, it will be fine, rest assured." Feeling her trembling in his arms, he kept caressing her back, comforting one after another, while his own heart was unusually sour. Although he was beside her at the moment, hugging her, he felt deeply powerless, and he didn't seem to be able to really help her at all, unable to help her get rid of the fear in his heart.

After the thunder fell, there was a brief silence and darkness, Ling Xiao forced himself to stabilize his mind a little, raised the face buried in Lu Jingxing's arms, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's good if the thunder and lightning pass." Jingxing, thank you! ”

"What's so thankful for that? As Xiao Xiao's future husband, shouldn't he care about you? Lu Jingxing's tone was smiling, but the corners of his mouth did bloom with a smile, but he couldn't see it in the dark.

Ling Xiao was about to say something, but the room suddenly lit up again, she knew that the next thunder was coming soon, so she quickly buried her head in Lu Jingxing's arms again, covering her ears with her hands.

"Boom!"

"...... Uproar"

The thunder exploded, followed by a downpour of rain and the sound of the wind, and countless raindrops fell like gravel, knocking on the eaves, grass and ground, and the room seemed to be filled with only the sound of rain coming from outside.

In the silence of the two people in the tent, the interval between the thunder gradually lengthened, and the rain gradually decreased, and finally stabilized.

Lu Jingxing saw that Ling Xiao's originally trembling delicate body was finally a lot quieter, he knew that she was not asleep, so he was curious because of concern, and finally opened his mouth to break the silence between the two: "Xiao Xiao, can you tell me, why are you so afraid of thunder and lightning?" ”

"When I was fifteen years old, my mother made me live alone in the primeval forest for a month in order to hone my heart and will, and all I was given was a short knife, a tent, and a fire-ignition tool. Of course, this is not a terrible thing for me, during that time, I also did the thing of drinking blood, I once bit off the neck of a tiger with my own mouth, and tasted the taste of blood.

What really cast a shadow on me was the sudden thunder and lightning that night. At that time, the thunder and lightning struck an ancient tree not far in front of my tent, and the ancient tree collapsed in an instant, igniting a fire, and the violent thunder shook the forest to the ground, and I could clearly feel the ground trembling under my feet, and I was so frightened that I sat down on the ground for a while, and I didn't know how to enter the tent to hide from the rain, and let the rain hit me.

It was the first time I had seen such a terrifying scene, and since then it seems to have left a deep imprint on my heart, which cannot be erased, and it will always emerge from the depths of my memory whenever lightning and thunder roar. But now that I think about it, it was a fluke that I was able to survive that time, and it was a big fate, because my tent was very close to the old tree, right on the edge of that minefield. Ling Xiao pillowed on Lu Jingxing's arm, and there were not many waves in his words, but in the end, there was a hint of happiness.

The sound of rain outside was rattling, and after Lu Jingxing heard it, he fell into silence, and his heart was unspeakably uncomfortable. He lowered his head slightly, rested his chin on the top of her head, and leaned her body into his arms, which was to give her more warmth and comfort, and also to rely on her.

Lu Jingxing couldn't imagine at all, how could there be such a cruel and ruthless mother, although she was not born, but after all, Ling Xiao was bleeding her blood, could she really just use Ling Xiao as a tool? It's too cold-blooded.

He couldn't imagine that a fifteen-year-old girl, after all, her ability to bear is limited, in the dangerous jungle, how she survived, the helplessness and fear in a desperate situation, I am afraid that few people can understand her mood at that time, such an experience is enough for her to remember for a lifetime. How have ordinary people ever experienced such cruel things, and what parent would want to put their children in danger? This was something he couldn't understand.

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a sneer on it, and he sighed lightly, but his tone was still very light: "Before entering the primeval forest, my mother had already said that if I could come out alive, then I would be her heir." And if I can't overcome myself, I can't resolve the crises, and I can't overcome the difficulties, she doesn't mind giving up on me and cultivating another successor.

Therefore, there were only two paths in front of me, either a life path to glory or a death road to perdition, but where there is retreat, it is a dead end, and that life road is also a life game, relying entirely on a survival instinct, this instinct stimulates the kind of wildness in human bones. Of course, in the end I survived, but not to be the heir, but the desire to survive forced me to overcome it all in the midst of my struggle.

In the last twenty-five years, I seem to have done everything but not killed anyone with my own hands. In fact, even if I died in that world, it would be nothing to my mother, and after such a long time, maybe another heir of her has been born, but it will take a lot of effort to cultivate. I should have hated her, hated her for being ruthless to me, but at the last moment of my life, I saw her crying for me, and now I can't hate her. ”

In that world, Ling Xiao had never felt the warmth of family affection for a day. It is precisely because of this that she regards Zhong Limu as a real relative, and the same is true for Jiang Tingxue.

Lu Jingxing was silent for a long time, and finally lowered his head and landed a kiss on her forehead, but he still didn't speak, as if he had integrated all the meanings he wanted to express into this kiss, and gave it to her with warmth, he knew that she could understand all his thoughts.

In the silence between the two of them for a long time, the chaotic sound of the sharp impact of the sword suddenly spread in the diffuse sound of rain, through the carved window, echoed in Ning He's room, and faintly entered Ling Xiao's ears, making her heart sink slightly, and her face hidden in the darkness condensed a thin chill.

"It's time to come after all, and after a year, they finally found me." Ling Xiao sighed softly, his voice was unusually calm, and he didn't seem to care at all. This is the person who really came to kill her, not the group that assassinated Zhong Limu and them in the first place. At this time, she was even more convinced that she had guessed correctly that day, these people secretly followed Zhong Li Mu and them all the way, and it was not Zhong Li Mu who wanted to kill them, but her, once they found her traces, they would take the opportunity to really do it, so as to never suffer in the future.

Lu Jing moved his body and moved a little under the bed, the warm breath between his bows swept over Ling Xiao's ears, and his voice was low and flat, with a hint of laziness: "It's okay, it will pass soon, such a rainy night will wipe everything clean." ”

"Did you know they were coming tonight?" Ling Xiao's faint voice was a little blurred.

The fierce fighting sound in the rain never stopped in the ears of the two of them, and in the darkness he was half-prone, his gentle snort gently brushed Ling Xiao's cheeks, and murmured: "I don't know, but it's always right to be prepared." ”

After the words fell, he easily found Ling Xiao's lips and kissed them gently.
