(Today's fourth update, waiting for your appreciation and support.) )

As they approached the town of Fort Ked, Drifter instructed Iverson and Walker to take the children back to the ranch first, and returned to the town alone.

Walking into the town, his mood became tense. In this world, the person who worries him the most is Shui Ling'er. However, the person he didn't want to see the most was also Shui Ling'er. Especially after Lao Ka told him the truth about the blood oath, he didn't dare to see her anymore, because in Liuyun's opinion, there was more of an ambiguous taste in it.

"Xiaoqiang, bring me a basket of steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, and two side dishes. Entering the door and bowing his head and sitting down, Liuyun didn't look at Shui Ling'er, and said in a muffled voice.

Buns and porridge were placed in front of him, and Liuyun saw a pair of small white hands.

"You're back. ”

A sweet voice sounded in his ears, making Liuyun's mind a mess, and with a "hmm", he picked up the porridge and drank it.

Shui Ling'er also hurriedly walked away. I could have called Xiaoqiang in the back room just now, but the ghost sent it to God, and she actually sent it for him herself.

"Xiaoqiang!"

She called out to the back room, and Xiaoqiang ran out of the room. These days, Xiaoqiang is very happy.

Since that day, after his eldest brother Liuyun folded his sword in public, no one in the town has ever troubled Sister Ling'er anymore. Business has also improved, and Sister Ling'er's father's illness has also improved, so that she will often give him some pocket money.

"Send him these two side dishes. Shui Ling'er commanded him softly.

"Childe, you want side dishes. ”

"Xiaoqiang, it's been a long time. Liuyun heard Xiaoqiang's voice, raised his head, and looked at him with a smile.

"Wow, it's the eldest brother who is back!" Xiao Qiang pounced on and hugged Liuyun's neck. Looking at the situation in front of her, Shui Ling'er shook her head slightly.

"Big brother, where have you been, and you haven't come to see us for so long?" Xiao Qiang let go of Liuyun and asked happily.

"This kid, I want to come every day, I'm afraid your sister Shui Ling'er will be annoyed to death. Liuyun thought in his heart.

"I went to the ranch. Xiaoqiang, after I leave, will anyone in the store still make trouble?"

"Big brother is so cool, who would dare to make trouble. No one was making trouble, and business was much better. It's just that I really want to see you. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat steamed buns, so Sister Ling'er also asked me to send some to Fort Cade, I don't know if they gave them to you. ”

"Xiaoqiang, don't talk nonsense!" Shui Ling'er interrupted Xiaoqiang's words, "When Childe left that day, I forgot to look for money, so I asked Xiaoqiang to send some buns to the house." ”

"Well, the servants have brought me to the pasture. It's fragrant and touching. Liuyun looked at Shui Ling'er and said.

Shui Ling'er lowered her head and stopped talking, but Xiaoqiang continued to ask, "Big brother, what are you doing at the ranch?"

"Big brother is going to build his own personal guard and train there. Liuyun replied patiently.

"Big brother, when I grow up, I want to join the army too. Xiao Qiang said suddenly, his eyes becoming very sad.

"Oh, why?"

"Because after my father joined the army to fight, he never came back, and I want to go to him. Thinking of his father, Xiaoqiang's tears flowed.

"Perhaps, he has died in battle and will never come back. Liuyun thought to himself, but didn't say it. "Let him have a little hope in his heart. ”

"Now you can follow the eldest brother," Liuyun got up and walked towards Shui Ling'er, "However, I still have to ask you what your sister Ling'er means." ”

Shui Ling'er thought for a moment and nodded. In her opinion, Xiaoqiang should have a better future with him than working in a small shop.

"He will definitely treat Xiaoqiang well. The thought flashed through her mind, and she was scared because she was willing to trust him.

"Wow, can I join the army now?" Xiao Qiang jumped up happily, and then seemed to think of something, and looked at Shui Ling'er and said, "But, what should you do if I leave Sister Ling'er?" ”

"Xiaoqiang, don't worry, my sister can handle it. Shui Ling'er's head was still down.

"Water girl, if you want, I would like to invite you to the ranch and cook for the children. ”

Shui Ling'er shook her head.

After recruiting ten street children in the town, it was already evening. After Liuyun arranged for them to stay in Fort Ked, he also felt tired and went to bed early.

On this night, there were no stars and no moon, and Fort Cade was peaceful. A dark shadow lightly jumped over the walls of Fort Cade, like a fallen leaf, and without a sound, it landed in the courtyard. Passing through the main hall and back garden, the dark shadow soon came to the main house where Liuyun lived, and came to the window. In a flash of cold light, the window was gently pushed open, and a dark shadow jumped into the room.

In the dark room, a lightning-fast sword light shot towards the bed where Liuyun was resting. There was a soft "flutter" sound, and the sword stabbed into it fiercely, piercing the quilt and inserting it into the bed. The shadow seemed to notice that something was wrong, and quickly drew his sword and turned to leave.

"Your Excellency came here late at night, I don't know why?" The lights in the room turned on, and Liuyun stood behind the door, looking at the masked man in black in front of him with interest.

"Take your dog's life!" the man in black snorted coldly, rubbed his body up, and a cloud of sword light flashed.

"I have never been masked, I don't know what is offended, so you want to take my life?" Liuyun's figure flashed several times, avoiding the sword light, and said loudly.

The man in black stopped talking, only a sword was faster than a sword, and every move and style was pointed at Liuyun's vital point, which made Liuyun's anger rise in his heart.

With a move of "empty-handed into the white blade", Liuyun's hand rested on the hilt of the man in black's sword, and then he pulled it, and his knee suddenly exerted force, hitting the man in black hard.

With a "snap", Liuyun threw the long sword in his body back to the black-clothed man lying on the ground with his chest covered, and said coldly: "With you, you can't kill me." Say what you mean, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

The man in black picked up his sword and tore off the black veil on his face, revealing a young face.

"You insulted my sister and seriously injured my father, if you don't kill me, I will kill you. The young man said hatefully.

"Are you Shui Ling'er's younger brother?" Liuyun looked at the murderous young man in front of him in surprise and asked in a deep voice.

"Shui Han, I came here today to take your dog's life. After saying that, he swung his sword and stabbed at Liuyun.

This time, Liuyun did not dodge, but instead withdrew the protective energy on his body, to the side of his body.

Blood flashed, and the sword stabbed deep into Liuyun's shoulder.

"I have healed your father's wounds, and I have made a blood oath before your sister to atone for my sins in the past. But I know your feelings, so today I will receive a sword from you to relieve your hatred. ”

Liuyun grabbed the blade of the sword in his hand, endured the great pain of the wound, and said with a smile on his face.

Shui Han stood in front of Liuyun, he didn't expect that the man in front of him actually swore a blood oath to his sister, and what happened in front of him made him even more incredulous, and the hand holding the sword also let go.

On the same day, after his sister was humiliated and his father was seriously injured, Shui Han angrily left home to study art and vowed to take revenge. Two years later, Yi Youxiao Cheng hurried to the imperial capital to inquire about the enemy's news, and then traced back to Fort Cade, where he happened to find Liuyun recruiting people in the town, so he carefully prepared this assassination. But he never expected that what he was facing would be such a scene.

Gritting his teeth, Liuyun pulled out his sword and threw it back into Shui Han's hand, then covered the wound with his hand and said bitterly: "If you feel that you don't understand your hatred, you can come again." ”

"No!" Shui Han roared bitterly and flew away through the window.

When Shui Han pushed open the door of the house with a bloody sword, Shui Ling'er's heart was cold, because she knew that Shui Han came back to take revenge, and he happened to be in Fort Cade.

"You...... Kill him?" Shui Ling'er asked in a trembling voice with a mist in her eyes.

"Sister, is the blood oath true?" Shui Han didn't answer, and asked in a deep voice.

"No, no, why did you kill him, he is no longer that wicked man!" Shui Ling'er nodded, tears burst out of her eyes, grabbed Shui Han's hand, and asked sadly.

"Ling'er, what's going on?" Shui Ling'er's father, Shui Tian, heard the sound outside the house and walked out of the house.

"Daddy, my brother killed him!" Shui Ling'er cried bitterly and threw herself into her father's arms.

"Shui Han, what did you do?" Shui Tian was also shocked when he watched his son, who had been away for several years, suddenly appear with a bloody sword.

Shui Han only felt that the river and the sea were overturned in his mind, as if what he experienced tonight was a dream.

"No, I didn't kill him. I can't kill him. He shook his head gloomily.

"Then the blood on your sword is ......" Hearing Shui Han's words, Shui Ling'er's heart suddenly returned to her body, and she also had some spirit. But she still seemed a little incredulous, and asked out loud.

He didn't dodge and took my sword with his shoulder. He said, "Take my sword and relieve my hatred." Shui Han remembered the scene that shook his heart again.

After listening to Shui Han's words, Shui Ling'er struggled to get up from her father's arms, turned around and rushed out of the house.

Shui Tian sighed softly and pulled Shui Han into the room. As an old man, from what happened to Liuyun after returning to Fort Cade this time, he knew that something unusual must have happened to this evil young man.

Although the events of the past made him hate Liuyun to the bone marrow, but after the blood oath, this hatred slowly faded, and he even admired this young nobleman who dared to take the blame. Tonight's events made him even more determined in his thoughts.

Liuyun wrapped up his wounds, lying quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the roof.

The moment Shui Han stabbed him with his sword, the emotions of loneliness, loneliness, exhaustion, and boredom mixed with desperate thoughts for his lover all came to his heart, making him really hope that Shui Han could kill him.

However, at that moment, he remembered Shui Ling'er's helpless weakness, Ah Lei's concerned eyes, the white hair of the hot sky, the boys who were far away in the ranch, the old card whose ambition was unpaid, and the love that owed Hua Scarlet tears, and finally flashed the sword sideways.

"Tonight, what's wrong with me?" Liuyun thought with a wry smile, pulling the wound again, and there was a sharp pain. For such a serious injury, the healing technique did not have much effect, and could only stop the bleeding from the wound.

The door was gently pushed open, and when she looked up, Shui Ling'er stood at the door with tears in her eyes.

As if after a century of silence, Shui Ling'er's voice sounded softly:

"Are you alright?"

"Well, it's fine. Liuyun smiled at her and pointed to the chair next to the bed and said,

"Sit down. ”

Shui Ling'er sat down, her eyes staying on him.

"Why?"

"What you owe must be repaid. ”

"I don't want you to pay it back. ”

"He is still young, and there should be no hatred in his heart. ”

"I hope you can be a good person. ”

"I hope too. ”

"You have to live well. ”

Afterwards, Shui Ling'er and Liuyun did not speak again.

Shui Ling'er got up and took a wet towel and wiped the sweat from the pain on her forehead for Liuyun.

Liuyun felt the sourness in his heart, closed his eyes and whispered: "Water girl, forget the hatred in your heart for a while, okay to keep me for a while?" I just want to be less lonely when I fall asleep. ”

"Good. Shui Ling'er's voice was very soft and soft, reminding Liuyun of her mother's lullaby in her childhood.
