Ling Xiao woke up with the graceful birdsong, thinking that he was going to have a student fire today, so he opened the door and went out, the clear air in the morning instantly overflowed his nose, and the sunlight shone into the forest, colliding with the humid air, forming a series of visible beams of light, dreamy and intoxicating. Ling Xiao feels that this kind of life is really good now, accompanied by beautiful scenery every day, calm and comfortable.

Ling Xiao looked for Lu Jingxing several times around, but he didn't see anyone else, only the horse grazing under the pear blossom tree. She simply didn't look for it, and Ma Zai definitely couldn't go far.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, Ling Xiao saw Lu Jingxing walking out of the forest slowly with a hare in his hand and a bow and arrow on his back.

"Where did you get your bow and arrows?" Ling Xiaoke had never seen him bring a bow and arrows.

"You're still cleaning the house, and you don't even see such a big bow hanging on the wall of the kitchen." Lu Jingxing put the hare, which had long since lost its breath, by the river, and said casually.

Ling Xiao only cared about tidying up the house as soon as possible, but she didn't pay attention to these, and she could only accept Lu Jingxing's helplessness about her. I don't know why, in front of Lu Jingxing, Ling Xiao always felt that he was so short, from a business rakshasa to a novice in life, and even the questions he asked were so stupid.

Lu Jingxing began to tidy up the rabbit, and Ling Xiao asked, "Do you need me to help you?" Eat and drink for nothing, and you have to do something for him.

"Can you help me? Not afraid of blood? What Lu Jingxing didn't expect was that a woman would do such a thing when she was forced to do something helpless, and it was normal to ask like this.

"As I said, there are very few things in this world that can scare me." Ling Xiao said lightly.

"If you're not afraid, just look at it, you don't need to do it." At this moment, Lu Jingxing had peeled off a small part of the rabbit's skin, and the gurgling water was mixed with the rabbit's blood, and then he pulled it hard, and the meat and skin were separated, and a large amount of blood flowed into the water, instantly dyed red. Ling Xiao thought that she was immune to this kind of scene, but she didn't expect that the moment she saw the skin and flesh separated, the pink flesh exposed, and the blood gushing out, her stomach began to roll, she covered her mouth and quickly ran to the edge of the forest, and then leaned against a tree for a long time before recovering her strength.

"Are you alright?" Lu Jingxing had already finished disposing of the rabbit, and when he saw Ling Xiao leaning there for a long time, he walked over.

"It's okay, I thought my heart was already very strong, but I never thought that I couldn't even defeat this." Ling Xiao laughed at himself.

"You don't have to try everything. Let's go, I'll teach you how to make a fire. ”

If someone was outside the kitchen at the moment, they would definitely be able to hear Ling Xiao's slightly excited voice: "It's ignited." Ling Xiao saw that the flames were burning in the stove hall, and thought that it was not difficult to learn.

"You're learning pretty fast." Lu Jingxing saw that he had only demonstrated it once for Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao had learned it, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"Thank you." Ling Xiao didn't know how to thank him, people like him didn't lack anything, of course they didn't care about anything, although a thank you was useless, it was better than not saying anything.

The morning sun rose higher and higher, and it was noon in a blink of an eye, Lu Jingxing's cooking movements were very skillful, and the taste of the cooking Ling Xiao felt that it was also good.

"Seeing that scene, you don't even eat rabbit heads?" Lu Jingxing saw that Ling Xiao only ate the plate of vegetarian dishes and did not eat the rabbit meat, so he guessed that the scene of skinning the rabbit left a shadow on her.

However, Lu Jingxing did guess correctly, and Ling Xiao felt that it was too cruel to do so for the first time. Therefore, while Lu Jingxing was cooking, Ling Xiao went to the river and buried the bloodless fur. Ling Xiao opened his mouth and said to him, "You can eat, I don't have much appetite." Is it possible not to hunt small animals with fur in the future? Blame the pitiful. ”

Lu Jingxing's voice softened: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Ling Xiao suddenly thought of the painlessness when he bought a fur coat before, it was not a kind of cruelty, but he didn't feel it now.

Lu Jingxing didn't go out again in the past few days, the weeds around the wooden house were cleaned by him, and it was hot outside the house in the afternoon, so the two of them took a book and sat in the house to study, but unfortunately Ling Xiao only learned the small seal for just three months, and he didn't know many words, and it was really difficult to read, so he simply stopped reading, took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that had not been used in this wooden house for several years, cleaned the inkstone and brush, and practiced the words seriously on the table. Lu Jingxing didn't care about these, he just looked at his own books, and he was as quiet as a pool of clear water. And every night, Ling Xiao always fell asleep with the sound of his flute, and the strange thing was that she slept very peacefully, and she didn't dream until dawn all night.

The two lived like this for four or five days, one night, Ling Xiao was awakened by a lightning bolt, and immediately sat up, it was about to rain, Ling Xiao already had a shadow of this thunder, and wanted to hide in the quilt, but thinking that Lu Jingxing was still outside, it was really inappropriate to lock him out in such weather, so he boldly opened the door, and as soon as he took a step, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, only this time she was ready, and she had already held her ears with her hands, although she could still hear the thunder, but the sound was reduced a lot.

Ling Xiao walked a few steps tremblingly, and said to the roof: "It's going to rain, you go into the house, under special circumstances, don't be too rigid about the subtleties." I'll feel guilty about locking you out in the rain. As soon as she finished speaking, another bolt of lightning tore through the night, and the silvery light shot into her eyes, and the fear in her heart arose. That scene came back to her mind, the helplessness, the despair, and the resentment against her mother, at that time she even felt that her mother was cold-blooded, but later when she stepped into the business world, she knew how to survive if she was not cold-blooded.

Lu Jingxing was not a person who twisted, and entered the house with Ling Xiao before the second thunder sounded.

Ling Xiao closed the window in front of the bed, which could prevent the wind from visiting, but it could not stop the thunder and lightning from invading.

In front of Lu Jingxing, Ling Xiao tried his best to remain calm, Ling Xiao didn't want Lu Jingxing to see her dead like this, but he still couldn't escape Lu Jingxing's eyes: "Are you afraid of thunder?"

Ling Xiao endured it and said, "What's so terrible about the thunder, can you turn around, I'm sleepy, my sleep is indecent, I don't want to be seen by you." ”

Lu Jingxing didn't say anything, he turned around, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, still covering his ears with his hands, and lowered his head to avoid the light of lightning as much as possible. After surviving the thunder and lightning, followed by the dense rush of the rain hitting everything, the fear in her heart gradually disappeared, and finally she fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

Ling Xiao woke up the next day, the futon was covered on her body, and she was no longer lying on the edge of the bed, if it wasn't for the light rain outside the house, Ling Xiao would definitely feel that last night was a dream, and the dream would be dispersed when people woke up.

In the rain curtain, it seems to become more quiet, the river is flooded with waves, and the forest is even hazy, and Lu Jingxing is not affected by the rain curtain at all, wielding a sharp sword in the rain, the action is extremely fast, complex and changeable, dazzling to see, except for the sound of the rain, the rest is the sword sound left when the sword cuts through the air. Ling Xiao couldn't understand why Lu Jingxing was practicing swords in the rain, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for the raindrops to fall on his body.

Lu Jingxing saw Ling Xiao standing at the door and watched blankly, and quickly stopped his movements: "When it rains, the heart will be calm, and the whole person will be more comfortable." You try it too. Ling Xiao was very skeptical of his words, it was the first time that someone said that rain is good for body and mind. But for some reason, she listened to him and walked slowly into the rain, perhaps because she saw him so comfortable and chic in the rain, so she wanted to try this method too.

Entering the rain curtain, what made Ling Xiao unbelievable was that he really had the feeling that Lu Jingxing said, and his heart became quieter. The cold drizzle fell on the light clothes, and the whole person was instantly relaxed. Today, Ling Xiao realized that it was also a pleasant thing to get drenched in the rain, and she could not estimate how many meaningful things she had overlooked before. But now she fell in love with this walk in the rain, which is an external enjoyment, a baptism of the soul, and a source of comfort. In just a few days of getting along with Lu Jingxing, what he made Ling Xiao experience was something incomparably precious.

This rain has accompanied them for several days, Lu Jingxing has been staying in the wooden house except for two markets, and getting along with him every day, and gradually getting used to it, the two of them talk little on weekdays, each doing their own thing, and not interfering with each other.

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, you wait for me here, and when I'm done, I'll take you to Huizhou with me, it will only take ten days." Ling Xiao listened to Lu Jingxing's quiet words, and suddenly thought of a poem in his mind, and read it out: "'I am obsessed all my life, and I have no dream of coming to Huizhou. ’”

Lu Jingxing pursed his lips and smiled, that smile could make people intoxicated, and asked, "You can also compose poetry?"

This poem was written by Tang Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty, but later people went to Huangshan to seek dreams because of this poem, and Ling Xiao was ashamed to say: "How can I compose a poem, this is what I saw by accident, without a signature." ”

"This poem is novel and ingenious, not like the style of poetry." Lu Jingxing said again.

"Your home is in Huizhou? You want to take me there?" Ling Xiao finally asked the key point.

This ancient capital was founded in the Qin Dynasty, and the original name didn't seem to be Huizhou, but I never thought that the people here would change it to the same ancient name in Chinese history, the same place, and now even the name is the same, Ling Xiao feels how wonderful this is. It's just that this place is now at the junction of the Central Plains, Donghuan and Nanzhuan.

"Yes, you don't know martial arts, it's not safe for one person to be here, and I don't worry about leaving you alone." The night was quiet, only the sound of rain and Lu Jingxing's words.

"After I go, can you teach me martial arts?" Ling Xiao asked.

Lu Jingxing didn't answer, but nodded, which was considered to be an agreement.

At dawn on the second day, Lu Jingxing braved the drizzle and rode away, leaving Ling Xiao alone but suddenly felt uncomfortable, in addition to practicing words every day, he was staring at the rain curtain in a daze, the rain in the Central Plains was continuous, just over three months, she had seen it many times, but now she had unconsciously had a good impression of the rain.

On the fourth afternoon of Lu Jingxing's departure, a person suddenly walked out of the forest, wearing a robe, a hat, and a hunting fork in his hand. Ling Xiao didn't pay attention to it, still doing her thing, but he didn't leave, but stared at Ling Xiao, seeing that Ling Xiao's heart was hairy, Ling Xiao had a hunch that this should not be a good person, and was about to get up and close the door, when she was about to drop the latch, the man pushed the door in, Ling Xiao staggered and sat on the ground, the man removed the hat and coat on his body to reveal a scruffy face, at this time Ling Xiao also stood up from the ground, it was too late to run out of the door, he blocked the door, Ling Xiao's right hand has been holding the bracelet on his left wrist, the man is pressing step by step, Ling Xiao didn't retreat, because there was no way back behind him. Her fighting skills couldn't deal with such a burly person, she was terrified in her heart at the moment, the man pounced on Ling Xiao and pressed her against the wall, "You obey me, I will treat you well." As he spoke, he was about to lean over, but Ling Xiao didn't give him a chance, and stabbed the man's heart, the man stared at Ling Xiao in surprise and fell backwards, at this time Ling Xiao's mind was already blank, his body trembled, his hands and dagger were full of blood, and the man's heart was constantly flowing out with bright red blood, staining the floor red. Ling Xiao originally wanted to just stab him, but he didn't expect that the knife would go straight to the heart impartially, which was an undoubted death. Ling Xiao didn't dare to imagine that she had killed someone, she couldn't withstand such a blow, she ran out, and washed her hands and dagger desperately by the river, even if her fingers were scratched by the dagger, she couldn't feel the pain, and then she desperately washed the blood stains on her clothes. In the past, it would not end well to offend the people who offended Ling Xiao, but she would not want their lives, but this time she killed people directly, and she couldn't accept this fact for a while, she didn't want to go back to the wooden house, and in desperation, she left along the path, regardless of whether the rain soaked her dress, and ran desperately forward, just to get out of this place quickly.

It was getting dark, she ran all the way, and finally arrived at the bazaar, but she found that she was penniless, because she was in a hurry, she forgot to take the coil, and now she can only sleep on the street at night, the fear in her heart has not disappeared, at this moment every nerve in her is highly tense, she doesn't even know where she should go, she suddenly feels that the world does not belong to her.

"Little girl, what's wrong with you? If you are homeless, then go home with your sister. Once a person loses his mind, he also loses his judgment, a woman in her thirties showed a face full of smiles, and Ling Xiao followed her without thinking, like a wooden man without thoughts. Later, when she came to her senses, she realized that she had entered the wolf's den again, and it was too late. She tried to run away once, only to be caught by them and whipped up, each lash that fell on her was a burning pain, and her clothes were stained with blood from the beatings, and the way she had done with the bustard was no longer useful.

After a day in the carriage, the men locked her and the other captives into a windowless room, which was airtight, mixed with all kinds of smells, and smelled incomparably strange, and for two or three days she was not given water to drink, and the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth were dry and cracked, and her body became extremely weak.

After a while, the dark room had a light and she was put in an iron cage with the other women, and they were taken to a place that resembled a human trafficking market to be sold. The trafficked people here are men and women, and the whole street is chaotic, noisy and noisy, and well-dressed people often walk by.

"Boss, I want this woman, let's make a price." A man pointed at Ling Xiao and said. "One hundred taels of silver, what does Childe think?" "Okay." The man didn't say much, so he asked Xiao Si next to him to give him a hundred taels, put Ling Xiao in the carriage and left.

Ling Xiao was taken into a mansion, and the maid ordered Ling Xiao to freshen up and bring food, but she was always locked in a room and did not let her out, and there were guards outside. Ling Xiao didn't know what the man bought her for, but now that she was conscious, she could face the murder calmly, and her health was much better, and now it was the most important thing for Ling Xiao to escape, she didn't want to be trapped here.
