The shadows are dull, and the pear branches are broken

Lu Jingxing looked unusually calm and continued: "When my father and the doorman rushed to the wooden house again to try to bring back my mother's body, my mother had been bitten by a hungry wolf, and only the bloodstained tattered clothes on the ground remained. In order to avenge his mother's hatred, his father spent several months finding the camp of the mountain bandits, and slaughtered the entire camp overnight. The father who treated the sick and saved people never thought that he would one day slaughter so many lives with his own hands, coupled with the guilt and longing for his mother, after coming back, his spirit was not as good as day by day, from the beginning of depression to the end of the madness, he was tortured by himself for four years, until the end of his life did not wake up, when I was twelve years old, but I had to take on the responsibility of the lord of the land mansion. ”

After Ling Xiao listened, she was silent as if she was already dumb, all she could do was to use her arms to wrap Lu Jingxing tighter, just because she didn't know how to comfort him, maybe only by wrapping him tighter could he understand her heart. She seemed to understand a lot, why his flute always had mourning, why he was so diligent in learning martial arts, why he was always cold in the past, and why he was silent...... This is where all the problems come from. Ling Xiao compared himself to Lu Jingxing, and suddenly felt that he didn't know how lucky he was, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart about the past.

Lu Jingxing touched Ling Xiao's head with his warm hand, which was another kind of comfort. His slightly hoarse voice came into Ling Xiao's ears again: "Xiao Xiao doesn't have to feel sad for me, these are all in the past. ”

Ling Xiao was still silent, just quietly snuggled in his arms, listening to his heartbeat rhythmically one by one, watching the stars in the sky twinkle and swagger.

Now that the crisis is looming, the situation is imminent. Ling Xiao practiced the "Cold Heart Sutra" in full swing, and it was on the verge of breaking through the fourth layer.

Dusk came again, and the dim room had not yet been lit, Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on the mat and meditated, only to feel that a strong stream of cold true qi filled all the meridians of his body, and the swelling was unbearable. The fine and dense sweat on the forehead gathered into beads, and the whiskers were wrapped in a thin layer of ice, like crystal clear pearls, one by one quietly slipped, bounced down from between the clothes, touched the ground into water, and shattered into invisible.

The thin ice on his body condensed, spreading all the way down from his dress, covering the floor around Ling Xiao's body.

"Bang!" Ling Xiao struck out with a palm, and the case in the distance was torn apart in an instant, and a huge internal force fluctuation swept past, and nothing was spared, all of them were scattered on the ground, stained with cold ice, and the whole room was filled with a cold air. But she felt as if she had been freed from her shackles, and she was more relaxed than she had been before meditating.

The movement in the house alarmed Lu Jingxing, who had just stepped into the courtyard, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly broke through the door, looked at the slightly vague figure in the dim with a nervous face, and said in a hurried tone: "Xiao Xiao, what happened?" ”

"Jingxing, don't be nervous, I'm fine." Ling Xiao got up and walked towards the door, "Jing Xing, great, I've broken through the fourth layer of the Cold Heart Sutra." ”

Lu Jingxing's hanging heart was put down, and then he was overjoyed, and picked up Ling Xiao's soft hand: "It's so good." ”

The cold air on Ling Xiao's hand did not subside, but in an instant, a thin layer of cold ice had spread to Lu Jingxing's wrist, and it was imprinted into Ling Xiao's eyes through the dim skylight, which frightened her a lot, and quickly pulled her hand out of his palm: "Jingxing, your hand is all about me, I was so excited for a while that I forgot that the cold on my hand was too heavy." I never thought that this exercise would be so powerful. ”

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while. Besides, I took the initiative to take your hand, how can I blame you. Lu Jingxing smiled warmly, dispelled the thin ice on his hands, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat beads on Ling Xiao's forehead.

Ling Xiao felt a lot more comfortable on his forehead, turned his head and swept the room half a circle, frowning slightly: "Oops, this house has been a mess by me." ”

"I'll send someone over to clean up later, let's go out first." Lu Jingxing directly grabbed Ling Xiao's waist this time, and the two of them went out of the house and stepped under the pear tree.

The twilight was hazy, and the blue sky was scattered with a few dark clouds, and a few stars were twinkling carelessly. Ling Xiao sat down on the swing, and Lu Jingxing naturally stood behind her and swinged for her.

Arcs were drawn in the air, and gusts of light wind brushed against Ling Xiao, blowing up her clothes and fluttering, and at the same time sweeping away the remaining sweat on her body during the exercises, making her feel refreshed and comfortable and relaxed.

Ling Xiao turned her head to look at Lu Jingxing, her handsome face was hidden behind a pear branch full of green leaves, only the corners of her curved lips loomed into her eyes in the shadows. Through the wind, she raised her voice: "Jingxing, swing with me." ”

"Okay." As soon as Qing Run's words fell, a vague figure had flashed lightly from Ling Xiao's side, and landed steadily on Ling Xiao's side, and when Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, there was already a warm hand on his waist.

Ling Xiao held the swing rope in one hand, leaned his body into Lu Jingxing's arms, and looked up at him: "Now that I have practiced the 'Cold Soul Heart Sutra' to the fourth layer, thinking of the great enemy I am about to face, my heart is a lot more stable. Jing Xing, I know you will protect me, but I don't want to be a burden to you. She has been independent for more than 20 years, and even in front of her beloved, she also does not want to have the idea of dependence.

"I know you're going to have to be strong. So, that's why you've been practicing hard for a few days? Don't worry too much, the current predicament will pass. Lu Jingxing's hand around Ling Xiao's waist tightened a little, and his eyes fell to her eyes, and his eyes were soft.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly: "Sort of." In fact, even if there is no crisis in front of me, I want to practice the exercises as soon as possible. By your side, I am very down-to-earth, but I am afraid that I will become your fetters if I don't know martial arts. ”

"I know." Lu Jingxing's voice was shallow, and he knew very well what Ling Xiao was thinking.

The swing rose and fell under the two of them, wisps of breeze hit Ling Xiao's face, and memories couldn't help but emerge from his mind, time flickered, it was more than a year ago, and I don't know if her third brother is doing well now. Lu Jingxing saw that she was distracted, so he whispered in her ear, "What's wrong?" ”

Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled lightly at Lu Jingxing: "It's okay, it's just that this scene made me think of the third brother inadvertently and think of the first swing." When he returned from his official duties that day, he first went to see me, and gave me this dagger to accompany me on the swing. Although these were trivial things, Ling Xiao experienced a family affection that Zhong Limu had never had before, which made her heart soft.

"Looks like I'm missing too much, your first swing wasn't with me." Lu Jingxing sighed helplessly, and his words were deliberately pantothenic.

Ling Xiao knew that he was pretending to be on purpose, but he still couldn't help but ask coquettishly: "What?" Lu Daxia is jealous again? ”

"It's hard not to be jealous, in recent days, you have always mentioned him, it seems that in Xiao Xiao's heart, he must be more important than me." Lu Jingxing is also a big husband anyway, how could he eat Zhong Limu's vinegar, he just wanted to make fun of Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao looked up at his hazy face hidden in the twilight, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lu Daxia is really stingy, counting it, he is still half a matchmaker for you and me." If he doesn't take me out of the house that day, how can I go to the palace to fast? ”

"That's true." Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows slightly, and met Ling Xiao's clear eyes in the dark, and his eyes blended.

The moonless night is blurry and sultry. The swing gradually stopped, and the two of them got closer and closer to each other with their snorts and evening breeze, and finally, Lu Jingxing dropped his own soft kiss on Ling Xiao's lips.

Ling Xiao's hand holding the swing rope gradually became weak, slowly slid down, and then wrapped his hands around Lu Jingxing's waist, allowing him to claim it on her lips.

In the midst of the grinding of lips and teeth, there was a click in the ears of the two of them, and before they could react, they had already fallen heavily to the ground, and then a cluster of behemoths smashed down from the top of their heads. Lu Jingxing reacted in time and protected Ling Xiao in his arms, and a large cluster of pear branches with dense green leaves and green pears covered his back together.

The huge movement startled the group of guards outside the courtyard who had just patrolled here, and broke into the door in an instant, led by Lu Ci, who pulled out the sword in his hand with a bang, and shouted in his mouth: "What happened?!" ”

"Nothing. Xiao Xiao, what's the matter, but what's the injury? Lu Jingxing brushed aside the branches and leaves, helped Ling Xiao to stand up, and because he was in a hurry, he forgot to scold the guards to withdraw. With his martial arts, he could have avoided the branch just now, but the two kissed too much and missed the best opportunity.

Ling Xiao clenched Lu Jingxing's arm, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but it's you, the branches have smashed on you." ”

"It doesn't hurt me."

The night was dark and unlit, and the guards were stunned when they heard these two familiar sounds coming from under the trees. Lu Ci took away the sword, but his face was dazed for unknown reasons, he took a few steps closer, took out the fire fold and shone it under the tree, and what he saw in the fluorescent halo was the corner of Lu Jingxing's bloodstained lips. Looking down further, the rolling green pears and the criss-crossing mess of branches and leaves spread all over the ground, and the swing he had made with his own hands was looming in it.

The guards seemed to understand what was going on when they saw this, and they all knew it. Only Lu Ci didn't have the strength to see which pot, which pot was not opened: "Mansion master, you mouth...... Also, the chivalrous woman is born with divine power. As he spoke, he deliberately swept around the ground, for fear that Ling Xiao would not be able to see the mess on the ground.

Ling Xiao raised his eyes when he heard this, and faintly saw the blood stains on the corners of Lu Jingxing's lips, and he was suddenly embarrassed. Coupled with Lu Ci's ridicule on the side, she couldn't help but lower her head, her cheeks were slightly hot, and a flush was fortunately blocked in the curtain of the night.

Lu Jingxing straightened his face, waved his sleeves at the group of guards, and said, "It's none of your business, step down." ”

This chapter is more complete, and the next chapter is estimated to be a few months away. I feel like my novels are written for myself (wry smile), but I can't read them myself, the writing is so bad.
