He is very tall, because of his perennial martial arts practice, his body is trained to be tiger's back and waist, and he is very vigorous and powerful. It's just that I don't know if it's because the light on this mountain road is too dim, or because he has just given up the territory he has been operating for a long time, and there is a feeling of exhaustion when he looks at his back slowly leaving.

I thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "Shen Xiaokun." ”

He turned to look at me, "What's the matter?" ”

The young face was still stained with some smoke and dust, and it looked a little wolfish and tired, and I said to him seriously, "Thank you." ”

Thank you for ignoring your past suspicions, thank you for not embarrassing my daughter, and thank you for letting me go like this.

When he heard my thanks, he seemed to be a little surprised, turned to look at me, the expression between his eyebrows became solemn, and after being silent for a while, he said slowly: "Yue Qingying, although I am not interested in your business, but this person with mud legs is okay." ”

I was stunned.

He looked at me again, his brow furrowed, as if he was not used to saying these words, and seemed a little irritated, so he simply turned and walked away, holding the hilt of the knife on his shoulder with one hand, and waving the other hand at me behind him, signaling goodbye.

I stood still, looking at his distant back, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a while.

I don't know how long it took, until his back was no longer visible, and I slowly turned around and walked towards the way I came.

I don't know if it's because I was too nervous just now and finally relaxed at this time, and the whole person also felt a little relaxed, walking and walking, my legs were a little weak, and I suddenly heard the sound of the wind whirring overhead, I felt as if people were going to fall, and hurriedly reached out to support the mountain wall.

The rough rocks cut through my palms at once, and the stinging pain cleared me up a little, and as soon as I looked up, I saw a lot of people rushing up from all sides.

It's-

"Lady Young Baby!"

"Madame!"

For a while, the chaotic sound made me a little confused, I frowned slightly, and as soon as my hand slipped, the whole person staggered forward and fell.

I fell into a warm, firm chest.

Pei Yuanxiu's face was not too ugly, but he was very nervous, I could even see that his forehead was densely covered with a lot of fine sweat, when he looked at me and hugged me with both hands, there was an incomparably precious treasure that was lost and regained. He carefully held my back: "Qingying, how are you, Qingying?" ”

I was stunned for a moment before I said slowly, "I'm fine." ”

"Did he hurt you?!"

"Nope."

"Aren't you hurt?"

"I didn't."

I shook my head, my voice was already as thin as a gossamer, Pei Yuanxiu looked at me nervously: "Then why are you-"

I knew he was asking why I was so wolfish now, but I didn't know it myself, so I just reluctantly said, "I'm a little uncomfortable." ”

As soon as he heard this, he stopped talking, and picked me up with a strong hand, and the people behind him immediately followed, and someone said carefully: "Childe, do you want to chase-"

I listened to my heart and moved again, and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me, and said calmly: "It's good that Qingying is safe, go back first." ”

"Yes."

It was only then that I was really relieved, and I was carried back by him on the narrow and rugged mountain road. This road is not easy to walk, only one person is a little difficult to walk like this, he still holds me, but he always holds me and does not let go, I lie in his arms, in a trance looking at the sunlight leaking from the towering mountain wall overhead, in front of my eyes, flickering.

Such a dazzling light pierced my eyes a little painful, and after a while, tears filled my eyes, at this time we finally walked out of the narrow mountain road, and the noisy voices around were even worse, but Pei Yuanxiu always held me and did not let go at all, and took me out of Crouching Tiger Village.

As we walked out of the mountain gate, the blinding sunlight in front of me was obscured by a haze.

I couldn't come back to my senses for a while, until a tear slipped from the corner of my eye, and my vision was finally clear, and I realized that it was not a haze, but a thick black smoke, as if a black dragon rose from the col in front of me, and in a short time filled most of the sky, covering the sun.

It was Crouching Tiger Village, and Crouching Tiger Village was burned.

Actually, this is an inevitable result, I am not surprised, just watching the towering fire slowly burn, I was held tightly in Pei Yuanxiu's arms, feeling his hot breathing, and the thick smoke in front of me covering the sky and the sun, giving people an illusion of suffocation.

Looking at the blazing fireworks, my vision also blurred.

In a trance, as if I saw a familiar figure standing in the flames, the scorching heat of the fire blurred his outline, he looked back at me sharply, and the long hair tied high behind his head also rose, like a rising flame.

Light...... Cold......

I wasn't unconscious, but I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't wake up, but Pei Yuanxiu hugged me all the way out of Crouching Tiger Village, and then got into the carriage and drove slowly all the way, I still felt it.

I could even feel that he was holding me tightly in his arms in order to make me comfortable, and his hands were around me, as if he was holding a fragile treasure that would be damaged if he didn't pay attention, and because of him, I didn't have too much trouble along the way.

It's just that I still have a memory of leaving my son in my heart.

Where is she? Have you been well protected, have you been frightened by previous events?

"Leaving the child...... Where's the child...... Divorced? ”

Hearing my uneasy murmur, the man under him raised his head slightly, put his lips to my ear, and said softly, "Qingying? ”

"Leaving the ......"

"I'm here."

"Leaving the ......"

"Li'er is safe, and I have sent someone to send her back first. We're also on our way and we'll be able to meet soon. You don't have to worry. ”

She's fine, it's okay......

A faint smile appeared on my face, and I finally put my mind at ease, and I felt a strong big hand holding my hanging hand and placing it on my chest, and the temperature of his palm had been ironing my skin, and it was even slightly hot.

"Don't worry, I'm with you."

This sentence rang from my ears to my dream, it was a dream in a trance, and it didn't seem to be a dream, I couldn't tell it myself, but I knew that Li'er was fine, I was really relieved, and I slept peacefully in his arms.

I don't know how many times I woke up and slept along the way, as if there was no end to the long road. Finally, when I woke up from a nightmare, I saw the blinding sunlight in front of me, and in the light, a man leaned over to look at me, his eyes crooked.

I still couldn't get back to my senses, but I heard Pei Yuanxiu's voice sounding with laughter: "Don't sleep." It's home. ”

"Arriving home?"

I blinked, this time I was sober, the carriage had really stopped, there was the sound of the attendants hurrying outside, I suddenly felt a warm and slightly undulating thing against my back, and when I looked back, I realized that I had been sleeping in his arms.

I immediately panicked and hurriedly tried to stand up, but he grabbed my hand and said softly: "I look dizzy in a hurry, take your time." ”

He didn't force me to stay, so that I would have a little better, but I thought that I had been lying in his arms, I don't know how long, my face was still red, I didn't dare to look up into his eyes, I just nodded, silently held his hand and sat up, and then he helped him out of the carriage.

This is already his mansion in Jiangnan.

As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw that there were people standing around, and the guards and attendants had already surrounded the surroundings, and several maids immediately came up to support me, and they all said carefully, "Madame, is it okay?" ”

Madam......

I was stunned. I remember that before, they all called me Mrs. Qingying, why do you call me Mrs. now?

I looked back at Pei Yuanxiu, who had just jumped out of the carriage, and he didn't speak, just smiled at me and looked behind me.

As soon as I turned around, I found Li'er standing at the gate of the house, looking at us.

She had changed into a new moon-white shirt, and she still had a double bun on her head, and pink silk was also wrapped, which made her look pink and beautiful, so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Behind her, there were two other women standing.

Han Zitong, and Han Ruoshi.

This is really a pair of twin sisters, both of them are born picturesque, and the national color Tianxiang stands together like this, there is a feeling of reflecting flowers in the water. It's just that compared to Han Zitong, whose expression is a little cold, Han Ruoshi is obviously a lovely flower. Her face was still a little pale, one hand held Li'er's little hand, and the other hand clenched her fist and whispered twice on the side of her mouth, and then said softly: "Li'er, look, isn't Daddy back?" ”

As she spoke, she looked up again and smiled at me.

It dawned on me.

I told her before that I hope she can help me keep it a secret and not let Li'er know that I am her mother. But thinking about it all these years, Pei Yuanxiu must have told her that her mother was called Qingying, and if those attendants still had a Qingying lady, they would definitely be helped immediately.

Thankfully, she helped me.

Thinking of this, I also raised my head and smiled gratefully at her through the white veil on my hat.

As soon as Li'er saw us, she immediately opened her mouth in surprise and smiled: "Daddy, you're back!" ”

"Well, Daddy is back."

"What about my mother?"

Pei Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his head to look at me, and I hurriedly shook my head at him gently.

“……”

Although he didn't know what he was talking about, he didn't speak rashly, but Li'er couldn't wait, and looked up at him with a little face: "Where is my mother?" Didn't you say my mother was here? Where is she? ”

For a while, everyone didn't speak.

I took a step forward, and just as I wanted to open my mouth to persuade her, I saw Han Zitong behind her walking over, a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and then said to Li'er: "Li'er, isn't this one wearing a hat your mother?" ”
