"Mulberry girl! Mulberry girl? Tang Ling searched anxiously left and right in the deep forest.

But in the deep forest, there is no Sang Xian.

Tang Ling couldn't help but get anxious, she muttered to herself: "Really, just like this, why are people gone." ”

She chased out of the children's room in a hurry, but she didn't have time to tell Tang Xun that she only hoped that Sang Xian had returned safely.

Tang Ling thought, looked up at the sky again, it was already gray, and it felt like it was going to rain.

Suddenly, she heard sparse footsteps behind her.

She looked back in surprise and was a little disappointed to see someone.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?" Tang Ling asked with a sigh.

"It should be me asking you, why did you chase it out without making a sound." Xiao Yichen's expression was a little serious.

"I...," Tang Ling lowered her head in embarrassment, "Aren't I worried about Miss Sang... There are many beasts in the deep forest, and if..."

"You also know that there are many beasts in the deep forest? Dare to chase it out alone? Xiao Yichen interrupted Tang Ling's words with a displeased face.

Tang Ling was dumbfounded, knowing that he was wrong, so he didn't argue anything.

"Mr. Chen, when did you come out? When you came out, did Miss Sang go back? Tang Ling suddenly remembered something, raised his head and looked at Xiao Yichen and asked.

Xiao Yichen shook his head, "I saw you chasing you out, so I followed." I asked Tang Xun and them to stay in the widow's room and wait, and asked Lin Duan to go to the vicinity of the Sang Mansion to guard, as long as he saw Miss Sang, he would go back to the widow's room to report his safety. ”

Tang Ling listened, and couldn't help but feel that Xiao Yichen had arranged it properly, "It's still Mr. Chen's thoughtfulness!" ”

"Let's go find Miss Sang quickly, if it's too late today, if Miss Sang stays in the deep forest, I'm afraid it will be dangerous." Xiao Yichen said as he walked towards the deep forest.

"Hmm!" Tang Ling followed.

Xiao Yichen looked at the dirt and didn't find obvious footprints, he frowned slightly, "We can't stay in the deep forest for too long, whether we find Miss Sang or not, we have to leave here after dark." ”

"But, if Miss Sang had been here, she wouldn't have been safe at night!" Tang Ling carefully looked around.

"Miss Sang is not a child, and she won't find a place to rest by herself at night?" Xiao Yichen asked lightly.

When Tang Ling heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Xiao Yichen saw that Tang Ling didn't speak, so he spat out and added, "You don't have to worry too much, maybe Miss Sang doesn't want us to find her, or maybe she has figured it out by herself." ”

"I hope she'll figure it out, too." Tang Ling hung her head and sighed, "I also persuaded her in the afternoon to let her pursue her happiness bravely and not be coerced by her parents' orders and matchmakers' words, but she didn't seem to listen to me." Otherwise, I wouldn't have said a few words to Lin Duan and ran away..."

When Xiao Yichen heard this, he was thoughtful and did not answer.

"Does Mr. Chen think that the marriage of children should be decided by the parents?" Tang Ling suddenly threw the chatter to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen glanced at the road under his feet, lowered his eyes, fell into deep thought, and a painful memory came to his heart.

Back then, he was also asked by the emperor to marry the daughter of a minister, but the minister's daughter already belonged to him, and he didn't want to break up others.

On the night of marriage, he helped the bride escape from marriage, the matter was revealed, the bride and her lover were hunted down, her lover was pierced through the heart with an arrow, and the bride was grief-stricken and immediately killed herself.

This matter caused a stir in the court, and some ministers even proposed to abolish Xiao Yichen's position as the crown prince!

In order to keep Xiao Yichen's crown prince, the first emperor punished him to guard the mausoleum, and it was not until the death of the first emperor that he was welcomed back by the ministers to inherit the throne.

"Mr. Dust?" Tang Ling looked at Xiao Yichen suspiciously, why didn't he speak?

Xiao Yichen came back to his senses and replied ambiguously: "It is true that it is not free to be arranged, but if you don't accept it, how can you solve it?" ”

His tone was full of sadness.

Oh, yes... He once wanted to break this rotten view of marriage, but the price he paid was painful.

So... What if you don't accept it?

"There are many solutions!" Tang Ling brushed aside the branches that were hanging down to block the way, and said slowly, "Take the marriage between Lin Duan and Miss Sang as an example." If Lin Duan's proposal to withdraw from her family will make Miss Sang very difficult in the future, then wouldn't it be okay to let Miss Sang withdraw from her family? ”

"Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a woman to leave her family. If Lin Duan is really dismissed, not only will he not be able to raise his head, but the entire Lin family will also be humiliated. Xiao Yichen still felt that Tang Ling's thinking was too simple.

"Since there is no such precedent, let's set this precedent!" Tang Ling said proudly, and his eyes were shining brightly.

If there is no precedent, then set a precedent!

Xiao Yichen's eyes flickered slightly, and his heartstrings seemed to be touched by Tang Ling's words, but he soon retracted his thoughts.

He's been through so much, how can he not know how difficult it is to set a precedent?

Tang Ling didn't notice Xiao Yichen's strange appearance, and continued: "I don't think Lin Duan is the kind of person who cares about worldly opinions, if this can solve his marriage with Miss Sang, I think he will agree!" ”

Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Lin Duan can not care, then his parents don't care either?" and Lin Jing, if he gets married in the future, he will be detained in a family that was divorced by a woman. So, what other woman will marry him? ”

Tang Ling was a little confused, she blinked her eyes twice, a little dazed.

She didn't think about it that much.

However, Xiao Yichen's words made her think deeply about the constraints of the feudal system.

Sometimes, you can not care, but you can't make your family not care.

You can be chic, but your loved ones will be blamed and criticized by the world.

That kind of taste must be worse than being insulted!

Xiao Yichen saw that Tang Ling was already stunned, and sighed softly, "Mr. Tang, your ideas are very good, but not all ideas are so easy to be recognized by the world. ”

Tang Ling didn't believe it, and said stubbornly: "Since there is no way to get the recognition of the world, then you don't need their approval!" In short, I don't believe that the marriage between Lin Duan and Miss Sang is unsolvable! ”

Xiao Yichen didn't speak again, he felt that it was pointless to argue about this issue any longer.

"It's getting dark, let's go back first." Xiao Yichen prepared to go back.

Tang Ling looked around and put away the emotions just now.

Xiao Yichen saw that Tang Ling didn't speak, and he was a little apprehensive, he didn't mean to quarrel with Tang Ling.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Long.

Tang Ling raised his hand slightly, pointed to the left front, and said uneasily: "We haven't looked for that direction yet, let's go back after looking for that direction." ”

When Xiao Yichen heard this, he hesitated for a while: "Okay." ”

The two of them were just about to walk forward, when suddenly the ground under their feet loosened!

Tang Ling was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yichen's arm.

"Ahh

Xiao Yichen also panicked, the ground under his feet was also loosened, he almost didn't have time to think, a huge sense of weightlessness came, he couldn't care about anything else, he could only think about hugging Tang Ling to protect her first.

"Bang-" Only a loud sound was heard.

Xiao Yichen and Tang Ling fell into the hole, the leaves were raised, and the dust flew in the air.

Tang Ling frowned uncomfortably, she choked on the dust and coughed violently.

"Ahem, ahem—" Tang Ling raised his hand and waved, trying to shake the flying dust away.

Her thoughts slowly returned, and she realized that she didn't feel pain when she fell? Could it be that this hole is not deep?

Just thinking about it, Tang Ling heard Xiao Yichen's voice coming from under him.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yichen helped Tang Ling and raised his head slightly to check Tang Ling's situation.

Tang Ling reacted at this time, it was not that she didn't feel pain, but that Xiao Yichen was under her, so she didn't fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Tang Ling was a little flustered, and quickly got up, "Are you okay?" ”

Xiao Yichen shook his head, "I'm fine." ”

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and this fall injury is nothing.

Tang Ling looked at Xiao Yichen carefully and worriedly, and asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?" I was crushed and fell from such a high place..."

"It's fine." Xiao Yichen said as he lifted the dust from his clothes, and then looked up at the hole.

"This is probably not a natural burrow, it is likely that a trap was dug by nearby hunters for hunting." Xiao Yichen calmly looked around.

This trap is not too deep, he can go up freely, but he hurt his shoulder when he fell down just now, and it may be a little difficult to take Tang Ling with him.

When Xiao Yichen turned around, Tang Ling saw that the clothes on his back were torn, and there were a lot of gravel where Xiao Yichen landed just now, she didn't believe that Xiao Yichen really had nothing to do.

"Are you really not hurt? I see your clothes are torn! Tang Ling worriedly stepped forward to check Xiao Yichen's back.

"No problem." Xiao Yichen blocked Tang Ling's hand, "What we have to think about now is how to get out of here." ”

Tang Ling saw that Xiao Yichen was stubborn, and he couldn't say anything.

Moreover, Xiao Yichen is right, now he wants to go out.

"But, it's so high here, how are we going to get out..."Tang Ling forgot the eye trap in a hurry.

It must have been five or six meters deep before that! There is no fulcrum here, and it seems unrealistic to climb up.

Just as Tang Ling was thinking, Xiao Yichen looked at Tang Ling squarely and said calmly: "I can go up alone, but it's not convenient to take you with me, so can you wait here alone for a while?" I'll go up and find the vine branches, and then I'll get you out. ”

"What? Can you go out alone? Tang Ling's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Xiao Yichen in disbelief.

It has to be five or six meters high! How is he going to get out?

"Hmm." Xiao Yichen nodded, "But you may have to wait here for a while..."

He thought that Tang Ling didn't want to stay in the trap alone, so he wanted to explain again.

After all, the two of them are staying in the trap and waiting for someone to save them, which is obviously unrealistic, it is better for him to go out first, and then find tools to save Tang Ling.

Tang Ling looked at Xiao Yichen and said confidently, dispelled the worries in his heart, and said briskly: "Then you go up first!" I'm waiting for you here! ”

Well?

Xiao Yichen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Tang Ling to respond so soon! He still has a lot to explain.

This Tang Ling is much braver than he thought.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Tang Ling looked at Xiao Yichen suspiciously, "Go up quickly!" ”

Xiao Yichen calmed down, and then said softly: "Well, I'll be back soon." ”

After saying that, Xiao Yichen jumped lightly and jumped out, as light as a swallow, as if flying.

Seeing this, Tang Ling's mouth grew big, this is the legendary light skill?

"You rest here for a while, and I'll go back as soon as I go." Xiao Yichen's voice came from above the trap.

"Good!" Tang Ling tilted his head and answered.

When Xiao Yichen left, Tang Ling walked to the corner and sat down, curled up, rubbing his shoulder.

It's so cold at night!

Just as she was sighing, the cry of a beast suddenly sounded in her ears...
