"Okay, senior brother, I accept your gratitude. Then you should feel a little more relaxed in your heart. Lin Xu laughed and said to Li Shiwei.

"Haha, junior brother, you are really understanding. Li Shiwei also laughed happily with Lin Xu.

The herbs in the medicine field have been picked. Lin Xu and Li Shiwei moved all the medicinal materials to the open space behind the house to dry. It will take about three or two days for the herbs to be dried and then used for rent and sale.

Taking advantage of this period of time, the medicine field did not need to be cared for for the time being, and Lin Xu had free time during the day, so he wanted to go and see his good brothers Leopard and Wang Long. Since they left the stone field together and came to the Medicine Valley, they have been divided into different medicine fields, and it is indeed rare to see each other in normal times.

Lin Xuan knew that not only did he miss them, but they must also miss his big brother.

The medicine field where Leopard and Wang Lung are now located are separated from Lin Xu, more than ten miles apart, and they are all small mountain roads, so they cannot be ridden on horseback, but can only walk. In order to be able to rush back before the evening, Lin Xu hurriedly set off as soon as it was dawn.

On the way, passing through a small forest, Lin Xu suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the woods, and then heard a frightened woman's voice: "Bastard, don't come here, or I'll kill you." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xuan knew only by intuition that there must have been a weak woman who had encountered a gangster. It is really unreasonable, and they dare to bully the people's girls in broad daylight. What Lin Xuan couldn't tolerate the most was this kind of thing.

Without any hesitation, he immediately stood in the woods. Of course, he will not be in a hurry to make a rash move, and he must always see the situation clearly before making a decision, so as not to do bad things with good intentions.

As soon as Lin Xu walked into the woods, he saw a woman in front of him. But the woman was facing away from him, so that he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but judging from the woman's slender and slender waist, Lin Xu felt that this woman was still very young, probably about the same age as himself, and even a year or two younger than himself.

The woman held a bronze sword in her hand and pointed it at a black-clothed Taoist priest opposite her. The woman that Lin Xu heard outside the woods just now was obviously said to the black-clothed Taoist.

However, the woman's warning had no effect on the black-clothed Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was still pressing on the woman step by step, so that the woman had to retreat.

Since the woman had been staring at the black-clothed Taoist priest and was in a state of surprise, she didn't realize that there was someone behind her. But seeing this kind of scene, Lin Xuan already knew what was going on in his heart.

Obviously, the black-clothed Taoist priest wanted to do something wrong to the woman, so he was resisted so fiercely by the woman.

The woman saw that her threat was useless, and the black-clothed Taoist priest was still walking towards her, thinking desperately, probably thinking that she was not the opponent of the black-clothed Taoist priest at all, and in the end she might inevitably suffer the fate of being insulted.

In desperation and desperation, the woman had no choice but to turn the long sword suddenly, put it on her neck, and shouted at the black-clothed Taoist priest: "Bastard, if you come over again, I will kill myself, and you don't want to succeed." ”

Although Lin Xuan couldn't see the woman's face, just listening to her voice, he knew that she was frightened and in pain at this moment. Look at the black-clothed Taoist priest again, although he is tall, he has a face full of meat, no different from an ordinary bandit.

The Taoist priest was holding a dust whisk in his hand, which could be his weapon. But for Lin Xu, he won't take him seriously at all.

Lin Xuan couldn't bear to hear the woman's hoarse cry of pain again, so he decided to preemptively give the hateful black-clothed Taoist priest a dismount and let him retreat.

Lin Xu's gaze shifted from the woman's back to the face of the black-clothed Taoist priest. The black-clothed Taoist saw Lin Xuan almost at the same time, and the eyes of the two directly met together.

The black-clothed Taoist priest was obviously a thief, and when he saw someone coming, he couldn't help but be startled, and his face showed a look of surprise. At the same time, he had to stand still, not daring to approach the weak woman anymore.

Lin Xu made a move. took out a deadly needle, raised his hand, and a black dot shot rapidly towards the arm of the black-clothed Taoist priest.

The black-clothed Taoist priest almost didn't react, let alone dodge, only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and immediately red blood flowed out.

"Wow!" the black-clothed Taoist priest screamed, and he could barely hold the dust on his hand.

At this time, Lin Xu's voice came out of his mouth coldly, warning the black-clothed Taoist priest, saying, "If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill your dog." ”

When the young woman heard someone suddenly talking behind her, she hurriedly turned around, and as soon as she saw Lin Xu, she actually had a great sense of trust in Lin Xu, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, help me!"

As she spoke, she had already hurried behind Lin Xu with a heart full of horror.

"Girl, don't be afraid, with me, no one can hurt you. Lin Xuan comforted the young woman softly.

Although the black-clothed Taoist had already seen Lin Xu, he didn't see how Lin Xuan made a move at all, and he was injured. He knew that he was definitely not Lin Xu's opponent, so it would not be difficult for Lin Xuan to kill him.

The black-clothed Taoist priest's face was full of pain and fear. He didn't dare to fight back at Lin Xu, turned around, spread his legs and hurriedly ran away. As he ran, he kept turning his head, afraid that Lin Xuan would not let him go and would catch up and kill him.

Lin Xu didn't have the heart to kill people for the time being. Otherwise, as soon as he made a move just now, he could directly ask for the life of the black-clothed Taoist. So he just watched the black-clothed Taoist priest run away coldly, and didn't chase after him to kill them all.

Lin Xu turned to the young woman and said, "Girl, it's okay, you can go home quickly." ”

Lin Xu looked at the young woman's beautiful face, and his heart couldn't help but move. But he didn't forget his deep relationship and beautiful agreement with Shangguan Tianfang, so he secretly reminded himself not to let go of his heart.

"Big brother, thank you for saving your life. The young woman bowed to Lin Xu, bowed deeply, and then asked generously, "May I ask if the eldest brother is a disciple of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect?"

"Yes, but only a peripheral disciple. Lin Xuan nodded, did not hide his identity, and looked very modest.

"Great, I'm also a disciple of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect. Meet today, it's really fate, let's get to know, my name is Zhou Mengfeng, what is the name of the eldest brother?" Zhou Mengfeng seems to be a generous and cheerful girl by nature, once out of danger, she will return to her original character, without the slightest fear and helplessness in the face of thieves just now.

Lin Xuan saw that Zhou Mengfeng was so generous, and as a man, he couldn't be too stingy. Besides, in a big sect like the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, it would always be a good thing to have one more friend. Today, Lin Xuan saved Zhou Mengfeng, maybe he will need Zhou Mengfeng's help in the future.

"My name is Lin Xu, and I live in the medicine valley at the back. Lin Xu told Zhou Mengfeng with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed to the medicine valley where he lived to Zhou Mengfeng.

Zhou Mengfeng himself was also a disciple of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, and he was particularly familiar with this area. As soon as Lin Xuyi said, she naturally understood.

"Oh, I see. Zhou Mengfeng asked Lin Xu with a smile: "Are you going back to the Medicine Valley now?" If you don't mind, I can go back and play with you." ”

Zhou Mengfeng is really a particularly lively and outgoing girl. If it were an ordinary girl, she would never behave so generously and naturally when she just met a man.

"Uh, Miss Zhou, I'm sorry. I had just come out of the Medicine Valley and was about to visit my brother who was nursing another medicine field. Lin Xuan said to Zhou Mengfeng apologetically.

"It's okay, I'll go to play with you when I'm free in the future, and I want to thank you for your life-saving grace." Zhou Mengfeng said to Lin Xu with a smile.

"Miss Zhou, you're polite, in fact, I'm just passing by, no need to thank you. Lin Xuan said with a smile.

"Since you say I'm too polite, then we're all welcome. Brother Lin, you are older than me, just call me by my name Mengfeng, you don't need to call the girl long and the girl shortly, it seems to be more lifeless. Zhou Mengfeng reminded Lin Xudao, as if she and Lin Xu had known each other for a long time.

"Okay, Mengfeng. Lin Xuan had no choice but to comply with Zhou Mengfeng's intention and shouted softly.

"Brother Lin, then let's not pass by for the time being, see you in the future. Zhou Mengfeng waved his hand at Lin Xu.

"Mengfeng, goodbye!" Lin Xuan also waved his hand at Zhou Mengfeng, then walked out of the woods and continued to hurry.

Zhou Mengfeng stood on the spot, looking at Lin Xu, and waited until Lin Xu's back disappeared into the distance before she turned around and left.

When Lin Xu saw Leopard Print, Wang Lung and the others, it was already noon. He happened to have lunch with his brothers and drank a little wine. It's a great pleasure to be brothers together.

Lin Xu asked about the recent situation of the brothers, and learned that they have been fine recently, everything is going well, and the medicinal herbs have been the same as Lin Xu's recently, and they have had a bumper harvest. Although the progress in cultivation is not as great as Lin Xu's, it is also a small progress, and it is a little stronger than before.

Lin Xuan encouraged the brothers to continue to work hard, and one day, they would always return to the Shenghua Empire and establish a great achievement, so that the former opponents would have a good look, and no one would dare to underestimate them at that time.

After Lin Xu and his brothers got together, they couldn't stay too long, and returned to the medicine valley on the same day. Anyway, he already knows the specific situation of his brothers, so he can rest assured, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, so that he can achieve the purpose of his trip.

Two days later, Lin Xu and Li Shiwei dried all the medicinal herbs. The two of them made an estimate together, and in addition to paying rent, they determined that there were more than thirty percent of the medicinal materials available for sale, some of which exceeded expectations, which was also a small surprise they got.

"Senior brother, are you going to use these medicinal materials to exchange them for gold coins, or for exercises?" Lin Xuan asked Li Shiwei.

"Let's decide when the time comes. If there is a suitable practice for us in the bazaar, then exchange it for medicinal herbs. If not, just sell the herbs and exchange them for gold coins. Anyway, with gold coins, you can buy exercises at any time. "Li Shiwei is very thoughtful.
