**********************************
Xuanji's injury was finally completely healed after a month, and the blood hole on his right shoulder formed a pink scar, which Chu Lei said might not be able to erase for a lifetime. But she was so seriously injured, and it was already a miracle that she got better so quickly, so naturally she didn't ask for extravagance.
Regarding Xuanji's stabbing by Wutong, although the adults were calm and amiable on the surface, Xuanji still heard some gossip from Linglong.
"You know what? Now the five major factions are all wanted! ”
As soon as Linglong came, she mysteriously pulled her to whisper.
"What wanted?"
"Wanted! Daddy and Lord Ronggu have both spoken, and the reward of five hundred taels of gold is to catch the black boy! And other sects are not allowed to take him in, once they find out, they will be against the five major factions! ”
Linglong's face turned red with excitement, "I didn't expect Daddy to be so powerful!" I thought he didn't care about you at all! As a result, I played such a big game! ”
Xuanji was stunned for a moment before she said, "That's ...... Not quite right? He's just one person, and the five major factions have joined forces to catch him ......"
Linglong glared at her and said hurriedly: "My young lady! You can't do that, good old man, right?! Why don't you want to think about that hole in your shoulder? Why didn't he think of the consequences today when he stabbed you?! It's all his own fault! ”
Xuanji shook her head: "No, that's not what I meant...... I mean, the black boy gives people a ...... Very bad feeling. I always feel that it is not a good thing to drive him to a dead end. ”
Linglong tilted her head, and couldn't be moved: "What can he do?!" Against the Big Five? I don't believe it! ”
There is nothing unbelieving...... Xuanji frowned secretly. Judging from a series of behaviors of Wu Tong, he is an ambitious and capable, but also self-righteous and narrow-minded person. The most terrifying thing is that he is extremely vindictive. A few of them just punished him a little, without hurting his body, but he was able to make a sword stabbing delicate move.
This kind of person must have an extremely inferior complex and twisted heart, and he will not tolerate others at all. This time he is wanted, and if he can be caught, if he can't be caught, this person will definitely be a big trouble in the future.
"Linglong, listen to me......"
She also wanted to remind Linglong, but she hugged her, "Good sister, don't always talk about these boring things!" You see how nice the weather is today, shall we go out and have fun? You're about to go to Xiaoyang Peak, and I don't know if you'll be able to meet more often in the future! ”
was so complained by her, Xuanji remembered that she was indeed going to leave in a few days.
Alas, I really have to say goodbye to everything in Shaoyang Peak. Her room, the crooked words she wrote, she liked to sleep on the big bed in a daze......
"What are you still in a daze! Let's go! ”
Linglong dragged her and ran out the door.
Today's weather is indeed good, the sun is shining, the white clouds are like the thinnest silk, hanging in the sky, the sky is clear, and there is no end in sight.
Linglong took her hand, and the two walked all the way to the back mountainside. There is a clearing there, which is a bit similar to the one in Xiaoyangfeng Spiritual Spring, and there is also a pool of water, but it is smaller, and there is no spirituality in the water.
But what surprised Xuanji the most was that there were now several senior brothers of the Min character generation gathered in front of the waterhole, catching fish and skinning rabbits, looking up and seeing them coming, they clapped their hands and laughed: "It's better if you don't come!" How did this come to be! Fortunately, things are not on fire yet! ”
Linglong dragged Xuanji over with a smile and asked, "Second Senior Brother, what delicious things have you prepared for today's party?" ”
Chen Minjue was skewering the sorted fish and rabbits on the branches, and said, "You know how to eat and eat." Just take a look! Your second senior brother and I, I think that I have learned cooking skills for two years with the chef of Tianxianglou, which will ensure that the tongues of the two girls who eat will also be swallowed! ”
Someone next to him had already interjected: "Don't listen to his nonsense!" He's not bad if he doesn't bake things! This kind of thing, you still have to worry about the senior brother! ”
"Hey, you don't have such a sign!" Chen Minjue protested depressedly.
Xuanji looked around, didn't see Zhong Minyan and Du Minxing, and couldn't help asking, "What about Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother?" ”
"They're going to get their stuff." Chen Minjue grinned, with a thief's eyebrows, "Today is a farewell party for Xuanji's little junior sister, how can you be interested without that thing?" ”
"What the hell is it? Mysterious! ”
Linglong was confused, but Xuanji guessed a few points, and just pursed her lips and smiled.
The two simply squatted down and helped clean up the scales of the fish and strung things on the branches.
After working for a while, I heard someone shouting, "Oops! It's coming, it's coming! What do you think? Bring it or not? ”
Linglong and Xuanji hurriedly turned around, and saw Du Minxing and Zhong Minyan coming back on the other side, both of them smiling, both of them put their hands behind their backs, and they didn't know what good things they were holding.
The fifth elder, Ouyang Minli, was also anxious, so he hurriedly ran over, hooked up, and took out the things that the two of them were hiding behind them. It turned out to be two wine jars, covered with red rice paper, and when you got closer, you could smell an intoxicating fruity aroma.
"Ah, fruit yellow!" Xuanji recognized this taste, and several adults drank a lot in Lutai Town at that time, and she was still a little excited!
"Senior brother, have you gone to Lutai Town?"
Is it just to buy fruit yellow?
Du Minxing said with a smile: "Yes, I have heard Minyan keep saying that the fruit is yellow and the fruit is yellow, and I am hungry." In the morning, I asked him to show the way, and we flew to Lutai Town to buy two jars and come back to try them. ”
After that, he patted Zhong Minyan on the shoulder, and said, "This kid is good, I don't know when I learned to fly with the sword secretly!" It's not bad to fly! ”
Zhong Minyan's face turned red, but he had some scruples, and secretly glanced at Chen Minjue. The second senior brother hadn't learned the sword until now, so he was afraid that he would be too worried when he heard it, but seeing that he didn't have any special looks, he was a little relieved.
Everyone here opened the wine, and the fragrance was fragrant, and the fragrance was refreshing. Linglong's saliva was about to drip down, and he urged several senior brothers to make a fire to barbecue meat, and the fat that was easy to roast dripped down, and the color was golden, and everyone sat in a ball around the fire, poured the wine first, and raised the bowl to touch.
"Here, cheers! For our Xuanji sister! ”
Chen Minjue screamed the loudest, and slammed the bowl on Xuanji's bowl, and the others followed suit, and they all hit her bowl hard, almost breaking her bowl.
Infected by their emotions, Xuanji also smiled, but she didn't dare to drink it dry like those senior brothers. She had never drunk wine before, and when she saw that the wine was mellow and yellow and fragrant, she took a small sip first, and her face was bitter.
It turned out that this wine smelled sweet, but it tasted so spicy that it pierced the throat, and it was easy to swallow, and it was on fire in the stomach, and it burned hot.
Linglong was full of pride, drank it in one gulp, and when he looked back and saw Xuanji's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "You coward!" It's just drinking, not poison! Fast! Drink it down, drink it down! ”
Xuanji had no choice but to close her eyes, her heart was horizontal, and she drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, only spicy tears flowed.
Who knew that the wine had been in the stomach for a long time, and the taste was actually different, warm and hot, and the whole person seemed to be melting, light and fluttering, very comfortable.
Xuanji took a bite of roast rabbit meat, and someone here added wine to her, and everyone persuaded her to drink it.
Now she didn't shirk anymore, she agreed to come down, bowl after bowl, and she didn't know what she was doing after drinking.
I heard Zhong Minyan talking in my ears: "...... I went to Xiaoyang Peak, and I don't know when I will see you again. You have to practice diligently in the future, and we are still waiting to see you become a heroine! ”
Her heart was sweet and bitter, and the taste was more complex than the yellow fruit. This time I went to Xiaoyang Peak, although it is also a Shaoyang faction, but everyone usually has something to do, where can it be as common as when they live together? Maybe you can only see each other once a year, or even once.
That day, Aunt Hong asked her if she wanted to go to Xiaoyangfeng, and she agreed very happily to go. Perhaps subconsciously, she also wants to find a life that is different from what she is now, more free and more arbitrary. Do what you want to do and what you like, instead of staying at home all the time, waiting for your father's punishment to tears.
"I ...... I'm also ...... pursuing," she whispered, and no one heard.
"What are you talking about?"
Linglong leaned over and asked her, her mouth was full of wine, she also drank too much, and her face was redder than rouge.
Xuanji shook her head, raised the bowl in her hand, and said loudly: "Wait, wait for me to become a heroine!" I won't disappoint you! ”
Everyone cheered together, raised their bowls, and drank the yellow fruit in one gulp.
Then he smashed the bowl and lay down on the ground, nonsense, nonsense, and sleep.
Xuanji was lying on the ground, her eyes closed. The yellow and slightly astringent taste of the fruit is still left between the lips and teeth, like the taste of a young man, hot but green, sweet but melancholy.
All this will pass.
She thought, and then closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, not knowing anything else.
