"Don't you have to help Lu Jingxing?" Ling Xiao felt that Lu Ci was really idle for a day.

"Passing by, I just heard your words, I still have to help the mansion master get something, so I'll go first." Lu Ci was right, but his heart was a little too hot.

"Bright, spacious, elegant and pleasant, the young master is really attentive to the second young lady." The finch stopped at the door.

"The layout of the room in the Central Plains Country is generally like this, you will understand it when you get used to it." Ling Xiao said that this is only the case in the Houmen family, and ordinary people do not dare to do this even if they have money due to the suppression of the hierarchy. However, the Lu Mansion is a big faction in the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court will not ask, which is an unwritten rule formed over hundreds of years.

"I'm a little tired and want to take a break. You can swing in the yard or do something else in the house. Ling Xiao waved his hand.

Que'er didn't leave immediately, but made up the bed: "Second Miss, okay, you can rest." ”

The spring light outside the house is still good, the warm day is harmonious, and it is safe and comfortable. The finches in the house silently stood in front of the bed, and through the light gauze tent, Ling Xiao's sleeping face was quiet and natural.

Lu Bo took Lu Jingxing to the room where Lord Chen Zhuang was recuperating from his injuries, and Shui Wuyue followed closely behind Lu Jingxing like a tail that didn't know anything about the world. Lu Jingxing could see from her innocent and bright smile that she had come out of the grief of going to her family. Her innocence, liveliness and cheerfulness are the result of Shui Nanqiang's spoiling for many years, so that she still has some little temperament, and she will never let go of what she wants easily.

"Lord Lu, you're finally back." When Chen Zhuang saw that it was Lu Jingxing who entered the house, he quickly got up from the bed, and his tone was excited, as if he had seen a friend who had been separated for many years.

"Master Chen Zhuang has injuries on his body, so he should lie down quickly." Lu Jing walked over and helped this man in his thirties with a handsome face.

Master Chen sat on the edge of the bed and bowed, "My injury is almost healed, and it's fine." He also asked the Lord of the Lu Mansion to help find the real culprit behind the scenes, so as to comfort the souls of the people of Xiaozhuang and Quanzhuang. ”

Lu Jingxing looked at the pain on his face and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Shui Wuyue on the side spoke first, and said in a firm tone: "I know the real murderer behind the scenes." ”

These words made Chen Zhuang's eyes light up, just like a beggar who had been hungry for several days saw a hot steamed bun dangling in front of his eyes. But this steamed bun is an illusion he has, and in his situation, useless stones can often be regarded as steamed buns. "The girl really knows! Then tell me quickly, and I am willing to smear the girl's liver and brain. He said it with emotion and earnestness.

"I don't have to think much about this, I know that it must have been done by the female demon Feng Baiyue, my father died at her hands, and I have an enmity with her." Shui Wuyue said viciously.

Lu Jingxing was a little speechless on the side, he felt that it was a mistake to let Shui Wuyue follow.

"I wonder who the girl's father is?" That Chen Zhuang owner seems to have found someone who is sympathetic. Since he is sympathetic, he is his confidant, and he also believes Feng Baiyue's brainless and untrustworthy words, which completely left Lu Jingxing aside.

Shui Wuyue got up and came to Lu Jingxing and said, "My father is Shui Nanqiang, the master of the Junjian Pavilion of the mighty rivers and lakes, and my father asked Brother Lu to take care of me for the rest of my life before he died. ”

"It turned out to be the Water Girl, the matter of Ling Zun has already spread all over the rivers and lakes, and we all admire the heroism of the Water Pavilion Lord." Lord Chen arched his hand towards the void.

Lu Jingxing finally spoke: "Water girl, before the matter is clarified, it is better to speak cautiously." Master Chen, please tell me what happened. ”

"Brother Lu, what I'm saying is the truth, who else but her?" Shui Wuyue retorted. Now the person who hates Feng Baiyue the most should be this Miss Shui, she will never admit that her father did something unsightly when he was young, and she will not admit that her father committed suicide in fear of sin. People are always like this, sometimes they are obviously wrong, but they don't want to admit it.

Lu Jingxing glanced at Uncle Lu, and Uncle Lu immediately understood, and made a gesture of invitation in front of Shui Wuyue: "Water girl, the lord of the mansion and the owner of Chen Zhuang still have something to discuss, you better go out with me first." ”

Shui Wuyue turned her head: "I'm not going out, I'm going to accompany Brother Lu here." ”

"Water girl, you should go out with me, water girl should not care about these things." Lu Bo kindly persuaded.

"It's still about me, why can't I? Brother Lu, you just let me stay. Shui Wuyue grabbed Lu Jingxing's arm again and shook it gently.

Lu Jingxing pulled out his arm again and said, "Water girl has more weight." ”

"Water girl, offended." Lu Bo dragged Shui Wuyue's arm and took her out of the room, and the room was finally much quieter.

"Master Chen, please speak." Lu Jingxing sat down in front of the desk.

That night it was about the time when the rooster crowed, and everyone in the Zhuangzi had already fallen asleep. I was still in the study to deal with affairs, I heard the screams, opened the door to see, the whole Zhuangzi was in chaos, at that time many people had fallen to the ground and died, and many were chased by gangsters to flee in all directions, but all those who knew martial arts were a lot of blood, and some even died in a dream, the blood stained the whole Zhuangzi, and in the end, I was the only one who survived, even my wife and children were not protected. The man didn't flick when he had tears, but the owner of Chen Zhuang was in tears.

"To be able to kill so many people in one night, is it not one person? Has Master Chen ever seen the faces of those people? Lu Jingxing asked.

Master Chen shook his head, as if he had thought of something again: "The weapons used by those people are not like ordinary swords, and the costumes are very strange. ”

"Then this matter has nothing to do with Feng Baiyue, I will send someone to investigate as soon as possible. As for the water girl's words, it is better not to be misled by her. Lu Jingxing knew that Ling Xiao and Feng Baiyue had an unusual relationship, and he didn't want to implicate Ling Xiao at this time.

When Ling Xiao woke up, it was already sunset, and the finch hadn't gone anywhere this afternoon, and had been by Ling Xiao's side.

"Didn't I let you do your own thing? Why do you stay here all the time? Ling Xiao lifted the tent and got out of bed, and said to the finch. She has lived in Lu Mansion for so long, and she has long been accustomed to not needing to be served.

"I was worried that the second lady needed something, so I didn't go out." Finch said truthfully.

When he woke up, Ling Xiao felt a lot more relaxed, and after some freshening up, he said to Que'er: "I think you are bored in the house, I'll take you around." ”

The spring scenery is infinite, and the hillside is full of life. Flowers and trees are bathed in the afterglow of the sunset with spores, and unknown birds leap lightly among the branches, full of countless nostalgia, and the bearer is sincere in the daytime.

Ling Xiao and the finch went up the stone stairs and finally reached the top of the mountain. Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw the sunset, but he never saw the heartbroken man who wandered the world.

"Second Miss, it's so beautiful here, it's really different from Nanzhuan Kingdom, and it's also different from Jiangfu." The finches are already mesmerized by the sunset, and they are the finishing touch in this picture.

"We can stay here a little longer." Ling Xiao jumped lightly and sat firmly between the trunk of a new green tree, which was an evergreen shrub, the new leaves had grown, but the old leaves were still reluctant to leave, with reluctance and carelessness.

Seeing that Ling Xiao actually jumped up the tree, the finch was a little worried: "Second Miss, there is danger in the tree, let's come down quickly." ”

Ling Xiao always recalled the scene when Lu Jingxing took her up the tree for the first time, and that was the first time she felt that the scenery on the tree was so wonderful that it lingered in her mind. And the fireflies that night, all these things that changed her were deeply imprinted in her heart.

"It's fine. You don't have to worry. "Ling Xiao's tone of voice to people has changed a lot now, less cold, more gentle. If you do the math, it's been almost a year since she came to this world, and her temperament has changed with the environment so much that even she doesn't want to believe it.

The setting sun eventually drowned behind the distant mountains, and in the end there was nothing left. If the sunset is not close to dusk, is it still infinitely better? Ling Xiao walked back with this question. Often the more ephemeral things are, the more beautiful they feel, and long-term things are always easy to bored people and can't find their wonders, maybe that's the reason why the sunset is beautiful.

As soon as Ling Xiao returned to the courtyard, a thin figure stopped in front of Ling Xiao, with a soft light in his eyes: "Miss Ling, you are finally back." ”

"Zidi, don't call me Miss Ling in the future, just call me by my name." The breeze without sunlight carried a slight chill, although Ling Xiao was not afraid now, but she saw that the two people beside her were thinly dressed, so she entered the house.

"Then I'll call you sister from now on. Is my sister's injury healed? Zidi had long known about what happened to Ling Xiao in Nanzhuan, and for his life-saving benefactor, Ling Xiao was injured, and Zidi always remembered it in her heart.

Maybe it's because of the practice of martial arts and medicine, now Zi Di has become down-to-earth and generous, and it is no longer the first time Ling Xiao saw it in the casino, so he couldn't help asking: "Lu Ci told me that you are studying medicine, how are you doing?" ”

"I'm already familiar with the basic medicinal materials, and as for the others, it will take time. Now I spend my morning and evening days practicing my sword, and the rest of the time is in the medical hall. Zidi had a satisfied smile on her face, she felt that she could have the life she has now, and everything came from Ling Xiao.

"That'll be fine." Ling Xiao nodded slightly.

Zidi said again: "I never thought that Mr. Duan would take me as an apprentice. I don't even know how to thank my sister, if it weren't for you, maybe I would still be in that casino. In that case, let alone the life I have now, I can't even do the last bit of filial piety for my mother. ”

"You don't have to pay too much attention to this, I said a long time ago that saving you is just a gesture. If you can study medicine well now, you will need to be a doctor who heals diseases and saves people in the future. Ling Xiao didn't care about this, and he didn't want Zidi to remember that people live to live the life they want.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and Lu Ci stepped into the courtyard to inform Ling Xiao to go to the dining room for dinner.
