The boundless sky, the endless snow, the small, silent village, a few heavily dressed soldiers with spears in their hands numbly patrolling.

Looking at Chi Ran's village from afar, she heard the person next to her say: "From now on, I am Yang Ruilin, and you are Chi Apple." ”

It's been a long time, late apple.

She nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, how do we get in?" ”

Although he didn't look up at Yang Ruilin's expression, Chi Apple knew that Yang Ruilin was smiling gently and gently, looking down at himself: "Just walk over directly." Apples, I'm a little cold. ”

The man's hand was extremely careful to hold Chi Apple's hand, through the glove, not knowing how much warmth could be transmitted.

Chi Apple was stunned, and suddenly returned to the day when he broke his knee at the age of nine.

Step by step, the two entered the village, and the soldiers did not stop them, but followed them at intervals.

Very quiet small village, only the sound of wind blowing and snow, like a sigh.

Passing by a few families in the village, Yang Ruilin stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying that he wanted to buy some food.

The people inside often opened a crack in the door, looked at the little girl in the blue water and green cotton clothes with vigilant eyes, and then looked at the gray-clothed man who seemed to be the one who had the idea between the two.

Then close the door.

The cold weather is not a kind of desolation. It is no longer possible to judge the value of food with a few silver-streaked tickets.

Yang Ruilin was not in a hurry or impatient, and pulled Chi Apple to knock on the door one by one. He asks people to buy food, but he never takes a step towards the center of the village.

And every time Chi Apple sees the cracks in the door, he always expects that the person who opens the door will be Chi Ran.

Sensing that someone was following, Chi Apple pinched Yang Ruilin's hand and said nothing. Yang Ruilin turned around and smiled at her, patiently asking the next one.

Probably the sixth, a thin crack in the door, suddenly opened, and the familiar voice was full of surprise: "Apple? ”

The one who opened the door was a thirty-year-old uncle. The uncle's eyes were sunken, his beard was unkempt, his hair was messy, and his cheeks were scarred.

Is this Chi Ran?

Chi apple's heart is slightly sour.

"Brother......" Chi Apple was just about to pounce, when there was resistance in his right hand, and Yang Ruilin's hand was clenched very tightly.

Chi Ran's eyes crossed the hands held by the two, and for a moment of loss and self-shame were intertwined, he turned around and made way for people to enter and exit, and let the two of them enter the house.

The warm heat came to his face, closed the door, Chi Apple threw down his hat and coat, kicked his boots, and jumped directly to Chi Ran's bed and rolled.

Chi Ran quietly glanced at the master who was light and breezy on the surface, and while helping his sister pull down the soaked foot bag and scratch her soles, he beckoned Yang Ruilin and said, "Master...... Brother, there's a chair over there, don't stand. Uh, Apple, you're kicking me! ”

Yesterday, Yang Ruilin asked Chi Ran to cooperate, but Chi Ran did not refuse.

Yang Ruilin, who watched the brother and sister fighting, felt a little complicated, so he responded casually, sat down by the fire, and stretched out his hand to keep warm.

"Little earth girl, why are you here? Let my brother take a good look, is Apple fat? Chi Ran held Chi Apple's face and rubbed it, "Fat!" ”

The last two words are sonorous.

Chi Apple's expression was stunned for a moment, and the top of his head directly hit Chi Ran's head!

Yang Ruilin, who was holding a teacup and preparing to drink hot water, almost kissed the brother and sister face to face, and almost crushed the cup.

"Uh-" Chi Ran took two steps back in pain, "Apple, how did you hit my brother......"

Chi Ran covered his forehead, and his soft voice was pitiful.

Chi Apple couldn't see Chi Ran's soft speech, she bit her fingers, knelt on the kang, opened her round eyes and said, "Then I'...... Can I help you shave? ”

"I have to help my brother cut his nails," Chi Ran's two hands lifted three of his nails, "It's all done, my brother will take you to eat." ”

"Deal."

Chi Ran turned around and took a knife and handed it to her, afraid that Ping Ping would think he was dirty, so he asked someone for some hot water to wash his face, and then came back with a long cloth around his neck and sat down.

Chi Apple flipped over his handkerchief and wiped Chi Ran's face and hands soaked in hot water.

Then she used the knife to press against Chi Ran's skin, and the blade slowly brushed it, and then cut off her beard. Chi Ran smelled on her body, but she pretended not to smell it, and seriously helped Chi Ran shave.

Doing these is very skilled for Chi Apple, she used to help Chi Ran shave, and Chi Ran often washed her clothes.

The girl rubbed Chi Ran's chin with her thumb and forefinger, and the blade gave people a delicate and considerate cold touch.

Flashing in his mind that he had almost been killed or had killed someone in the past few months, Chi Ran trembled and closed his eyes tightly.

"Don't move."

"Okay, you slow down, my brother is scared."

After shaving, Chi Apple took rusty scissors to cut Chi Ran's nails.

"Brother, how did you lift your nails?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt. When I climbed the mountain, my hands froze, but when it warmed up, I found that it was good to cut it off. Chi Ran smiled with a smile in her eyes, looked down at Ping Ping for a while, and looked up at the master sitting in the corner for a while.

Yang Ruilin, who had been silent for a long time, tilted his head to the disciple, and finally leaned the teacup to his lips, but found that there was no water in the cup at all.

Well, anyway, he's not thirsty.

Yang Ruilin put down the cup.

In the final analysis, Chi Ran grew up under the watchful eye of Yang Ruilin, what kind of mind does the apprentice have, he will not be a master who does not understand, but if Yang Ruilin, an old guy who has lived for thousands of years, chooses to let go of Ping - impossible.

Chi Apple's life is special, if I miss it, I don't know how many times I have to watch her disappear.

The young and the old are orderly, respecting teachers and the like, Yang Ruilin will not force Chi Ran to do it too much, and it is a great comfort to be able to send his apprentices to the end without him in turn.

In the same way, anyone can ask Yang Ruilin to leave Ping.

"Senior brother," Yang Ruilin poured a glass of water, "something happened in Beide Town." ”

Hearing this, Chi Ran grabbed Chi Apple's shoulder and looked left and right, and asked, "Pingping, are you injured?" There was no surprise on his face.

"I didn't ...... No. "The arrow wound on his arm is already scarred.

"Teacher-Senior brother, what's wrong with Beide Town?"

Two days ago, the second prince, Yan Danren, threw a few pieces of letter paper on Chi Ran's face, and asked the left envoy of the Guangyi Society to read it carefully and talk about his feelings.

Mr. Jiaoshu and Chi Apple, surnamed Yang, disappeared, Aunt Lin and the carpenter's family were imprisoned, and Huo Qingniang and everyone in Beide Town were dealt with.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince's request is very simple, Chi Apple is for his own use.

Yesterday, his mentor Yang Ruilin came to Chi Ran, asked Chi Ran to cooperate with him, lied to Ping, and deliberately mentioned a few more words of the agreement of the year, and returned it after raising Ping until he was fifteen years old.

Yang Ruilin told him that the stupid apprentice would not care about Chi Ran's escape with Ping in the first place, but there must not be a second time.

During the conversation, Chi Ran found that Yang Ruilin was always leaning against the wall, and asked Chi Ran to assist when he left. What is even more worth pondering is that Chi Ran sent someone to follow Yang Ruilin, but Yang Ruilin didn't find out.

"Someone attacked Apple's residence, and the two people you arranged were probably planted in it." Yang Ruilin took a sip of water.

Chi Ran hugged his sister tightly, and said in a pretended to be afraid: "Fortunately, you are fine, my brother will definitely find out who did it......"

Based on the situation he has mastered, Chi Ran can determine a few points:

"1. Yan Danren didn't know that the master was Mu Yuanshen, and he thought that Ping Ping had escaped by herself.

Second, Yan Dan people are not as close to waste people as rumored.

3. The master didn't know that the second prince, Yan Danren, was behind the Guangyi Society, and he didn't know that Beide Town was slaughtered.

Fourth, Master has a physical problem.

Five, Apple doesn't know anything. ”

The brother and sister hugged each other tightly.

Yang Ruilin almost choked.

"Brother, Aunt Lin and Huo Qingniang don't know what's going on......"

Chi Ran didn't plan to take the initiative to mention the matter of Beide Town, and even if he did, he would pretend to know nothing.

"Don't worry," Chi Ran stroked his sister's long hair, and the chin that had just been shaved was attached to the top of Chi Apple's head, "Huo Qingniang's martial arts are very high. And there are our people in Beide Town, who will take care of Huo Qingniang and Aunt Lin. ”

"Hmm."

Yang Ruilin couldn't stand it anymore, got up and said, "Senior brother, you said that you want to bring apples to eat, senior brother, I have to follow." "It means hurry up and eat.

Chi Ran continued to give his sister Shun Mao: "I can't forget my senior brother." ”

Brother and sister are intimate, and others are independent of the corner.

Yang Ruilin, who was expressionless: "I'm a little hungry." ”

Chi Apple pushed Chi Ran away and said, "Brother, I'm hungry too." ”

"Wait a minute," Chi Ran rummaged through the clean clothes that the maid had prepared for him, "your clothes are wet, wear mine." ”
