Often it is just a simple process to go from busy to cold, and the lobby that was originally full of people is now gradually dispersed with the departure of the storyteller.

Ling Xiao and Jiang Tingxue settled the account at this moment and walked outside. The night breeze blew on the cheeks of the two of them, and at the same time blew the gauze lamps on the side of the street, and the light and shadow flickered and fluttered.

It was not early, and Ling Xiao and Jiang Tingxue walked quickly. Ling Xiao was a little worried that she would be like the last time she went out with Lu Ci, which caused the whole mansion to look for her. Jiang Tingxue was not in a hurry, but seeing that Ling Xiao was in a hurry, he also sped up.

The two walked around two corners and finally arrived at the street where the Jiang Mansion was located. Since it is not a gathering place for shops, even if there is no curfew at night, it is still clear and rarely crowded. As soon as the two of them walked into the mansion gate, Jiang Tingxue looked up, saw that there was suddenly a figure in front of him, he trembled with fright, and then complained angrily: "Cousin, what are you doing standing here, don't you know that this will scare people to death?" ”

"Waiting for you. Where did you take Ling Xiao, only come back now. Lu Jingxing made her debut.

"Listen to the book." Jiang Tingxue replied simply.

"Uncle told you to come back and look for him." Lu Jingxing said.

"I guess you're going to nag me again. Then I'll go first, you take your time. Jiang Tingxue was a little helpless, but she still went first, leaving Lu Jingxing and Ling Xiao.

The gauze lamp emits a faint light, blurring and confused. Lu Jingxing looked at Ling Xiao's figure wrapped in a cloak in the darkness, and asked, "Are you happy to play today?" ”

Ling Xiao walked side by side with Lu Jingxing on the gravel path with broken steps, looked sideways at Lu Jingxing, who was a little vague, and there was no indifference in his voice when he spoke to Lu Jingxing: "It's a good fun." It's just worrying you again. ”

"It's okay, you should go out for a walk with Tingxue more, she has a lively temperament, and you can also make your heart more cheerful after you have been in contact with her for a long time, and forget about the bad things in the past." Lu Jingxing said slowly.

Lu Jingxing's good intentions, Ling Xiao could understand, and after a long time, Ling Xiao said: "Thank you for doing this for me." ”

They walked onto the wooden bridge, and the water was murmuring under the bridge, and the reflection of the yarn lantern rippled in the water, and the layers of ripples were slightly spreading.

Lu Jingxing looked down slightly ahead, and his voice was exceptionally clear: "Thank you for what I did, it's just a gesture." ”

Ling Xiao didn't say a word, just followed Lu Jingxing's pace to the other end of the wooden bridge, the other side of the pond.

The night is not deep, and the people are silent. After a while, Lu Jingxing asked again, "What book did you listen to today?" ”

"Shuinanqiang's past. As we went, the storyteller was talking energetically and listened. There are quite a lot of people. Ling Xiao replied.

"In just a few days, the dead people of the Water Pavilion Lord have been known to everyone. People make mistakes, but there are not many who can repent, and he deserves to die. Lu Jingxing sighed.

Shui Nanqiang's death didn't touch Ling Xiao much, and she wouldn't feel sorry for it, because it was Zhong Liqiang's enemy.

Ling Xiao stopped next to a square pillar in the corridor, and Lu Jingxing was a little puzzled when he saw her standing there. Ling Xiao spoke slowly: "In case Qi tells me, what Feng Baiyue said to me is true." It was Shui Nanqiang who indirectly killed my mother's clan. ”

Lu Jingxing was a little silent, and only said after a long time: "Then do you believe in what happens?" Although he has insight into the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he may also be wrong. It was more than 20 years ago that the Xiang family was destroyed. ”

Ling Xiao knew what he was trying to express, but he didn't want her to live for hatred like Feng Baiyue. Ling Xiao leaned against the square pillar, looking at the murmuring of the lights in the water, and his tone had a hint of melancholy: "I also have doubts." There's a lot that hasn't been figured out. ”

"Then leave this alone, let it all go and live the life you want." Lu Jingxing stretched out half of his hand and retracted it, but in the end he still didn't touch Ling Xiao's shoulder.

"Rights are a good thing, not only can they destroy their humanity, but they can also make people get everything they want, and they will pay for it." Ling Xiao's voice was dazed and cold.

Lu Jingxing was a little panicked when he heard this: "Ling Xiao, what do you want to do?" ”

The look in Ling Xiao's eyes could not be seen by anyone except the night, but the indifference of his voice made people hear it clearly: "It is both to repay kindness and revenge." "The grace of reporting the bell is also the revenge of the bell and leaving the river.

Lu Jingxing didn't understand the meaning of these words, so he was silent. After a while, Ling Xiao smiled, this smile was to prevent Lu Jingxing from worrying her: "Don't worry, I won't do anything beyond my means, I won't take risks, and I won't go back to the original place to see people I don't want to see." ”

The person Ling Xiao said that she didn't want to see was naturally Yanlingzhan, but she didn't know that Yanlingzhan had dreamed of her again in her dream at the moment.

"Brother Zhan, you go slowly, I can't catch up with you."

"Yu'er, hurry up, the palace banquet is about to start, and my father is still waiting!"

"Brother Zhan, you carry me, my feet hurt."

"Brother Zhan, why didn't you come to save me for so long, I'm so afraid."

"Yanlingzhan, I hate you, if you don't come to save me, you don't have me in your heart at all."

"Yu'er, no, you listen to my explanation. Yan'er, Yuan'er......" Yanlingzhan woke up from his sleep and sat up, covered in cold sweat.

There was two knocks on the door: "Childe, are you okay?" ”

Yanlingzhan is now in the Wa Kingdom, and the brothels have been looking for more than ten days one by one, but there are no clues. Yan Lingzhan got up, walked slowly to the door in the dark, and pushed the door open. And Xiao Ye was standing outside the door, and when he saw the door being opened, he asked nervously: "Is Childe having a nightmare again?" ”

Yan Lingzhan bent down and walked out, and said to Xiao Ye: "I want to go out for a walk, you don't have to follow." ”

If Ling Xiao saw such a Yanling stack, maybe his opinion of him would change in his heart, but there were not so many ifs in the world.

The gauze lamp opposite Ling Xiao was extinguished due to the depletion of the lamp oil, and the little light in her eyes disappeared with it. Lu Jingxing accompanied her and continued to walk to the depths of the cloister through the cave door.

"You don't have to worry about me, I won't do what I said I wouldn't do." Ever since Ling Xiao said that, Lu Jingxing had been silent, and Ling Xiao had no choice but to promise again.

"I believe in you." Lu Jingxing's words made Ling Xiao a lot easier.

The two of them crossed a rockery, and a wooden bridge appeared in front of them, and Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh at the exquisite construction of this mansion. In modern times, she has also seen such mansions, such as Suzhou gardens, which lead living water into the mansion, pavilions and pavilions and water pavilions are exquisitely combined, plus flowers and trees, rockeries and small bridges are connected. But she never imagined that one day, she would live in such a mansion.

"I'm here, you can go back to your room and rest early." After passing through two more cave doors, walking through the corridor, I finally arrived at the door of Ling Xiao's room.

"Okay, then I'm leaving, I'm tired after a day of playing, go to bed early, don't think nonsense."

Ling Xiao watched Lu Jingxing's vague figure disappear outside the cave door, pushed the door and entered the house.

The days went by, and Ling Xiao had been living here for more than ten days. The mansion was busy preparing for her and Jiang Tingxue's marriage, and she was idle.

The rain brewed for more than ten days, and finally came, from far and near, rustling and whispering. Ling Xiao wielded the Sunset Sword on the gravel road, and the sword light flashed across the other realm. The swordsmanship that Lu Jingxing taught her had been put aside by her, and she was bent on getting into the swordsmanship left by Feng Baiyue.

"It's raining, be careful of the wind and cold, practicing martial arts is not a day's work." Lu Jingxing had already stood aside and watched her practice the sword for half an hour. The rain was falling with a chill. Lu Jingxing had to remind her to stop.

"I've heard you say it's good to get drenched in the rain." Although Ling Xiao was retorting, the sword was put away.

Lu Jingxing followed her into the corridor to hide from the rain: "I said it, but I remember that it seemed to be summer, and you still remember." ”

Ling Xiao pursed his lips: "I remembered it unintentionally, and I think there is a different artistic conception in the rain." ”

"This set of swordsmanship was given to you by Feng Baiyue?" Lu Jingxing has not seen it in vain for so long, and the subtleties of it are naturally discovered.

Ling Xiao said frankly: "Yes, that's it. I promised her that she would practice it, and she couldn't be untrustworthy. As for the swordsmanship you taught me, I won't waste it. When I finish this, I'll go and practice yours. ”

"Swordsmanship is not practiced in many, but in proficiency and handyness. I think this set of swordsmanship is very suitable for you, when you practice it to the unity of human swords, you will be a swordsman master, and you don't need to learn anything else. Lu Jingxing nodded to Ling Xiao.

The rain beats on the tiles like a string of silk that has been plucked. Ling Xiao happily accepted Lu Jingxing's proposal: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

"Let's go back to the house." Lu Jingxing looked at Ling Xiao's indifference and said.

The carbon fire in the house was only a little spark in a layer of white ash, and Ling Xiao saw such a scene when he entered the house.

"Lu Ci has sent a letter." Lu Jingxing took out a note.

"Something to do with me?" Ling Xiao knew that if this had nothing to do with her, Lu Jingxing would not give her the letter.

"See for yourself." Lu Jingxing handed the letter over.

After reading the letter, Ling Xiao glanced at Lu Jingxing: "You agreed?" ”

Lu Jingxing took the charcoal tongs in his hand and added charcoal to the brazier, and said, "I haven't replied yet." ”

Ling Xiao admired Lu Ci a little, such a small note made him write a bunch of words. In addition to Zidi's mother who has passed away and wants Zidi to live in the Lu Mansion, he also wrote about some things about Shui Wuyue in the mansion.

"You can call these things, and it doesn't really have much to do with me." Ling Xiao thinks that Zidi has nothing to do with her now.

"That's good. Lu Ci wanted her to go to the medical hall to study medicine, and I thought it was inappropriate. Ling Xiao listened to Lu Jingxing's words and nodded.

The sound of the rain outside the house seemed to be louder, and the stagnant water had begun to drip from the eaves of Daiwa's roof and fall into the pool full of clear water, stirring up countless water waves. The room was unusually quiet, and the two of them did not speak again, except for the occasional faint crunch or two of the gradually burning charcoal fire. `
