"Let her go." The cold and emotionless sound is very good, clear and crisp, like the sound of the river hitting the ice under the glacier in winter.

Ling Chen answered, put down his hand and stood on his side. He waited for his master's reprimand, but his master's voice rang out abruptly and disappeared.

After a long time, Ling Chen dared to raise his hand and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. The woman in front of her, for the master, is not just because she is the daughter of General Han and can be used well. There was definitely something else in it, but it wasn't for him to speculate.

Even if he had followed his master for thousands of years, Ling Chen would not have the slightest doubt that his master could destroy himself in the blink of an eye with one finger. Glancing at the stubborn Xue'er again, Ling Chen gritted his teeth, turned around, and left.

Behind him, Cher staggered and determined in the rainstorm, her face, her hair, and her body were covered with water.

"Whoa." The big raindrops hit the body, it was cool, but it didn't feel pain. I didn't feel the pain in my knees or palms.

Cher's whole mind completely returned to the past, back to the happiest childhood time.

"Miss, miss." The nurse kept calling anxiously behind Xiao Xue'er. Xiao Xue'er had two bare feet, and turned her head to make a grimace at the nurse as she ran.

The corners of the skirt are flying, and the bells on the ankles should "jingle" with Xiao Xue'er's steps. Xiao Xue'er walked through the corridor, bypassed a rockery, and came to the forest garden in the house, where the trees are tall, the branches and leaves are flourishing, and the green is pleasant, but the area of this forest garden is not large, only 800 square meters.

There are no other trees in the garden, only one species of tree called "Acacia". Little Cher's father planted it for her mother, and the tree's growth is very dependent on how well it is cared for. The acacia tree, which is only a few years old, has grown to the thickness of a human waist, with a slender and straight trunk and crystal green branches, swaying in the breeze, as charming as a dancer.

"Chirp."

The crisp and graceful bird call came out of the green leaves, and Xiao Xue'er was very excited. She walked through the forest with her bare feet, touching the leaf from time to time, fiddling with the magical lines on it. After a while, he touched the leaf again, and sometimes he would prank himself by tearing the leaf apart and throwing it into the nurse's clothes.

The nurse who provoked a while nagged.

Xiao Xue'er smiled even more happily. The forest was filled with her silvery laughter.

Suddenly, there was a "Hah" from the woods not far away. "Huh." Although the sound has a certain momentum, it still has a childish childish voice.

Xiao Xue'er slowed down curiously, walked over quietly, and hid behind a tree to look.

A strange boy, probably slightly taller than himself, wearing a special practice uniform in the house, holding a long sword in his hand, shouting, while changing his posture and slashing, one move and one style is quite like a father's appearance, the sword qi is even more majestic in Xiao Xue'er's eyes, because when he slashes with the sword, he can make a "swish" and "swish" sound, which Xiao Xueer can't do.

Suddenly, Xiao Xue'er adored the little brother in front of her. And because she peeed and played alone, she never had any friends, and her father was very busy, although her stepmother would spend time with her every day, but it was still too little and too little. She wanted a friend.

The little boy in front of her made her small eyes shine. She jumped out from behind the tree barefoot. Happy greeting: "Little brother, hello." ”

The little brother still practiced swordsmanship without a trace of stagnation. She didn't seem to be heard.

Xue'er jumped closer again, waved her hand and said, "Little brother, little brother, hello." ”

The little brother looked at her and nodded. The black and white eyes are cold, and the face is like a pink sculpture, with a cold air that repels people.

"Little ...... Brother, can you play with me? Xiao Xue'er asked crampedly.

The little brother didn't answer, he turned around directly, put away his sword, and walked towards an acacia tree two meters away. Out of the sword, pick forward, stabbed into the body of the tree, scratched the sword marks, and saw that he was about to stab down with another sword.

Xiao Xue'er was angry, she stood in front of the thorned acacia tree with her bare feet, and said, "This is a gift from my father to my mother, you can't do this." ”

The face of the nurse on the side turned white with fright: "Little ancestor, can this sword be blocked casually?" He pulled Xiao Xue'er and glared at the little boy.

"It's a mother's thing." Cher shook off the nurse's hand, very stubborn.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." The little brother apologized. After speaking, he put away his sword with a "pout", did not stop at his feet, and walked towards the outside of the forest.

Xiao Xue'er finally saw that there was another child in the house, how could she let it go so easily. She didn't notice that the nurse behind her was held by a pair of slender hands in the forest, and just chased after her bare feet.

Who knew that the little brother was walking so fast, she couldn't keep up. I ran hard, and the soles of my feet hurt a little. She shouted, "Little brother, little brother, wait for me...... Wait......"

There was a pain in the toes, I tripped over something, and I lost the center of gravity of my body. Cher fell forward, and with a "thump", her knees slammed into the dry branch of the arm that tripped her up.

"Click." The branches snapped.

Xiao Xue'er's hand was also scratched by a branch, blood beads flowed out, and her toes were even more painful. She covered her toes, sat on the ground and cried loudly: "Nurse, nurse ......"

"Does it hurt?"

Xiao Xue'er raised her head, and in front of her was her little brother who had gone and returned, and she sobbed and nodded.

"I'll give you some medicine, and it won't hurt in a while." The little brother took out a celadon bottle from his arms, poured out a little green powder on the palm of his hand, put down the bottle, and pulled up Xiao Xue'er's injured hand. Carefully sprinkled the green powder onto Xiao Xue'er's wound.

"Sss

Xiao Xue'er was in pain, and involuntarily shrank back, but was pulled tightly. The little brother comforted: "Bear with it, it won't hurt right away." The little brother took her hand, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, it was amazing, it really didn't seem to hurt very much, and there was a cool feeling from the wound.

She smiled and said, "Little brother is so good, it's amazing." ”

The little brother in front of him had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his chin was sharp and thin, his skin was even better than his stepmother's, and his eyes were as bright as stars on his small nose, and at this time, there was a trace of warmth in it. He lowered Cher's hand and turned his head to deal with the redness on her toes.

This time, it was another bottle, the powder inside was white, and the little brother tore off a narrow cloth from his clothes, poured the powder on it, and then gently wrapped it around Cher's red and swollen toes.

After doing all this, the little brother picked up the two bottles and was about to carry them back into his arms.

"This powder is amazing, little brother, can I take a look?" Xiao Xue'er said curiously.

"Okay." The little brother answered.

Xiao Xue'er took the bottle, shook it, and listened. Putting her nose forward again, a fragrant fragrance came into her nose, and Xiao Xue'er said happily: "It's so fragrant." ”

The little brother glanced at her, and his gaze fell on her wrapped fingertips again. squatted down in front of Xiao Xue'er and said, "Let's go, I'll carry you back." ”

……

On the way, Xiao Xue'er knew that her little brother was called Hua Ruthless, so she called him Ruthless Brother. At the time of separation, she made an appointment with him to teach her martial arts when she returned from the palace. It's just that she didn't know that she had been gone for three years. With no friends and no one to care about, she was very unhappy and wanted to play with her little brother and return the celadon bottle she had borrowed for the night, but she was imprisoned.

She didn't come back until her father came back from the border pass, and when she came back, she didn't see her ruthless brother, which made her a little disappointed.

In the afternoon, torrential rain poured down.

"Boom." The huge explosion made her eardrums hurt. Lightning then illuminated the dimly lit house. There was a "clang", and the open window hit the window flute. Raindrops fell in, wetting the Emperor's amusement knick-knacks on the table, and the wind blew the azaleas violently.

At this time, the nurse and the maiden were in the kitchen preparing food for her. There was no one in the room, so Cher had to get out of bed and close the window, just as she walked to the window.

A familiar little figure appeared in front of her - it was the ruthless brother. Cher was so excited that she stood in front of the window, unconcerned that the rain was wetting her clothes and hair.

In the rain, he wields his sword like the wind, chic and free, not like he saw three years ago. The body is taller, and the figure looks stronger, not as thin as when I first met.

I don't know how long time has passed, and Xue'er's legs are a little numb.

"Boom."

The ruthless brother suddenly fell, and the sword fell to the ground.

Cher exclaimed in surprise and was about to run out. The ruthless brother had already jumped up and got up again, the big raindrops hit him, the wind was blowing, and the ruthless brother was like a small boat floating in the sea, with nothing to rely on. At first, I was able to swim, but after a long time, I felt tired and tired, and I was knocked down again and again.

The rain kept falling, and the wind roared.

Xue'er only felt a little hot in front of her, moist.

At this time, the ruthless brother is like a reef, constantly being knocked by the sea, but he has never given up a little and has never taken a step back.

The back that once carried him seemed to be stronger.

This morning, she learned from her stepmother about her ruthless brother's enmity and the responsibility on his shoulders. No wonder, when he first saw him, he had such cold eyes.

Then, after knowing that her ruthless brother practiced like a masochist, Xue'er's heart hurt even more. She didn't know why she had such deep feelings for this boy she had only met once. Perhaps, this is what the book says about a lifetime of fate.

Cher bit her lip and resisted the urge to stop her ruthless brother. After a while, the nurse walked past the window, and she saw herself standing in front of the window in the rain, and she began to nag in distress. Cher smiled, just listening, her eyes fell on the bowl in the nurse's hand, and she asked, "What is this?" ”

"Ginger soup, Madame advised, Xue'er and Young Master Hua have one bowl each." The nurse replied.

"I'll hand it to the flowers...... The young master will do it. Cher sneered, the name was true. She went out of the house, listening to the nurse's nagging, and grabbed a bowl of ginger soup, of course, the umbrella did not fall, otherwise, the ginger soup would become ginger rain soup.

The ruthless brother in the rain seems to have noticed Cher. He put away his sword and walked towards her, the smile on his lips curled up like three years ago, waving into a warm spring color.
