An oasis in the sand, a bonfire.

The sound of the flames s......corching the branches of the trees was particularly clear in the long night, attracting many flying insects, but also making many wild beasts afraid to approach.

My face is so hot and my head is so heavy...... Tan Jing seemed to be woken up by the excitement of the night, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her arms were extremely sore, and her back was cold, as if she was clinging to something hard.

"Water, water, ......" Tan Jing's wheezing voice drowned out the sound of the long night, and Lu Xing hurriedly handed over a kettle, which was a hollowed-out fruit shell. Seeing that Tan Jing couldn't open her eyes in a daze, Lu Xing used his right hand to break open her two lips, and then used his fingers to pry open the teeth, so that the water could be poured into Tan Jing's mouth unimpeded.

"Cough, cough ......" should have choked on water, Tan Jing coughed with one hand on her chest, her tired eyes finally lifted, everything around her seemed to make her a little trance, and the salty smell in her mouth made her uncomfortable.

Tan Jing blinked, seemed to come back to her senses, and asked, "Aren't we on the beach?" ”

Lu Xing handed the "kettle" to Tan Jing and explained: "Thank you for swimming with me to the shore in the sea, and then you were tired and unconscious." When I wake up and the tide rises, I'll hold you ......"

"Hey, my body stinks," Tan Jing smelled the smell on her body, as if she hadn't listened carefully to Lu Xing's words, and only looked up after a while and asked, "Can I take a bath?" ”

"There is a small lake here, but the rain has accumulated and there is animal droppings everywhere, so I am afraid that I will not be able to find a place to bathe." Lu Xing explained.

Tan Jing smiled, as if she had heard something extremely happy, and said, "It's good to have water, I have another way." ”

"By the way, do you want to be together?" Tan Jing blinked, her eyes bright.

Together...... Bathe? Lu Xing trembled, his squatting body almost lost his center of gravity, and he relied on his hands to support the ground to avoid falling.

"Childe......" The corners of Tan Jing's mouth rose, and said, "I mean, Childe can help me dig a slightly larger soil pit." ”

"Childe is ...... with him"

The forest is not very big, only a hundred steps, and there is a lake in between.

On the side of the lake, Lu Xing wiped out all the grass and trees around him with a few swords, and then used his sword qi to dig a man-high soil pit, which was counted as a bathtub.

"Thank you, Childe," Tan Jing thanked him, raised his hand and wrote the word "net" in the air with Haoran Qi, and after the word "net" fell into the small lake and washed the water in it clear, he wrote the word "move", only to see the water in the lake float up and then move to the dirt pit on the side.

That's fine...... Lu Xing silently looked at it in his eyes, and only felt that Confucian magic was really convenient, and it was much more practical than harsh Taoism.

"Childe, can you stay away a little, I—I'm going to undress." Tan Jing's voice was as thin as a hummingbird.

"Okay," Lu Xing lifted his steps and left, walked a little farther away, his steps slowed slightly, and he shouted loudly with his back to his back: "If the girl is in danger, you can shout for help." "Alive, this is all the way to the end, out of the forest.

Returning to the original campfire, Lu Xing took off all the clothes on his upper body and put them in front of the campfire.

"Master, why don't you go to see Sister Tan take a bath?" Xiao Gu sat on the sand and stone and asked.

Hearing this, Lu Xing angrily threw a stone over, although he couldn't hit Xiao Gu, but he was relieved.

"Didn't I bathe in the small pool next to me when my master last went back to open the way? The host also watched it with relish! Xiao Gu shook his head, his eyes simple.

Hehe, shaving water in the pool in clothes, also counting? Lu Xing pursed his lips, too lazy to take care of Xiao Gu.

"Clothes?" Xiao Gu could hear Lu Xing's thoughts, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the yellow skirt on her body, and whispered, "Then I'll take it off......"

"Wait!" Lu Xing was frightened by Xiao Gu's words, he had to tell Xiao Gu about common sense, if he didn't wear clothes when he came out of the spine of the sword one day, Lu Xing couldn't even think about that picture.

"Xiao Gu, there are words chastity and chastity in this world, if a woman's body under her dress is easily seen by others, it is a loss of chastity and will be spurned by the world."

"So, in front of me in the future, you must wear your clothes tightly, and your skirt must be above the knee, and your skirt will be considered short today." Lu Xing's words changed halfway, there was no way, to be reasonable, Xiao Gu didn't want to listen to it at all, so he could only give orders as the master. If you mention your face in the future, you can understand the truth when you come to Xiao Gu, Lu Xing thinks so.

"Yes," Xiao Gu nodded thoughtfully.

After about a quarter of an hour, Tan Jing came out of the forest.

"Childe has been waiting for a long time," Tan Jing coiled the green silk with a wooden hairpin and sat down with her legs hugged by Lu Xing's side.

Tan Jing's gaze fell on Lu Xing's back, and there were shocking wounds, one and a half feet long, a few inches short, all over Lu Xing's back. She was stunned and said, "Childe, what is this?" Why ......"

"Hey," hearing Tan Jing's confusion, Lu Xing raised his head and looked at the shock in Tan Jing's eyes, he suddenly heard that there were many wounds on his back, and explained: "Don't worry, it's all old wounds." It's just that the appearance is ugly, and it doesn't leave any root causes. ”

Tan Jing's eyes flickered, her interlocking fingertips tightened, her brows furrowed, and she said with concern: "I have a good medicine for external injuries, which is the most conducive to eliminating scars, and when the remains of Wendao are released, I will make people ......."

"Is it snow jade cream?" Lu Xing interrupted Tan Jing's words, looked at the look of surprise in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Then there is no need, Miss Tan should not forget my identity." ”

Tan Jing picked at the corners of her skirt with her fingertips, looking at Lu Xing's gaze a little evasive, but she could always see Lu Xing's scarred back from all angles.

"Aren't you curious, why do you Lu Xing, as the prince of the Northlands, have so many scars on your back? There are obviously ways to get rid of the scars, but they have to let these ugly scars stay on the back. Lu Xing looked at Tan Jing's expression and said with a smile.

Tan Jing's eyebrows raised slightly, and her expression was a little flustered at first, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Well, then are you willing to tell me?" ”

Lu Xing raised his eyebrows, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Pinch your hands for me, and I'll tell you." ”

Pinching, pinching hands...... Tan Jing was a little unexpected, and thought: Could it be that the dignified Northland prince would have this special habit? After about a dozen breaths, Tan Jing still stretched out her hands and placed them in Lu Xing's palms steadily, her eyes were half-down, her upper shell was against her lower lip, and a trace of clouds appeared on her cheeks.

Lu Xing's fingers were a little harder, and he gently pinched the white side of Tan Jing's thumbs on both hands, and then tried both heads and tails, Lu Xing withdrew his hand and made a decision in his heart: It seems that the person who gave me the note is not Tan Jing, who could it be? How can a man grow a warm hand? Could it be my delusion?

Tan Jing silently withdrew her hand, her movements a little sluggish. Because Lu Xing just tapped on both sides, she didn't talk about pinching at all, just now she thought that Lu Xing had a penchant for playing with other people's hands, but now it seems that she has misunderstood.

For some reason, Tan Jing seemed to be a little unhappy in her heart, and sighed: "Can the prince tell me now?" Scars on your back. ”

"I'll tell you a story." Lu Xing threw some firewood into the bonfire, and the slightly weaker flames suddenly became vigorous.

"On a snowy night, a boy in his teens broke into a room."

"There was a thick mist of water floating inside, and the mist was coming out of a wooden barrel, and there was a woman bathing in the wooden pass."

"That was the first time I saw my sister's body, and others said that the back of a beauty was like a jade willow, and I used to think so." Lu Xing seemed to realize that he had called the little boy in the story me, but he smiled and didn't care much.

"Miss Tan has ever seen snakeskin," Lu Xing didn't expect Tan Jing's reply, and continued: "The scales are big and ugly, and the shape is strange and terrifying. ”

"Then let me tell you, my sister's back is not as beautiful as snakeskin." At this point, Lu Xing's voice was silent for a few seconds.

"I asked her, why didn't she use plasters to remove these unsightly wounds? She said that this was not a wound, it was a battle after battle, and what remained on it were the souls of the soldiers of the Northland. ”

I then asked, why couldn't I see the wounds on my sister's arms and face? She said that she was not alone, and that her face and arms were meant to be shown to outsiders, which was the face of the Northland. ”

The bonfire jumped, reflecting the pupils of Lu Xing, as if it was scorching like a flame.

"She asked me, does my sister's face look good?"

"I said, it's beautiful!"

"And so ......"

"Woo......" Lu Xing's mouth was blocked by Tan Jing's soft jade hand, and I saw tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and her voice was slightly choked: "So Lu Xing wants to learn from her, and he has a back scar." ”

"I know Lu Xing's sister, the nineteen-year-old Mountain Peak Realm, at the age of twenty-three, she created the seventh floor of her martial arts that belonged to her, the Heaven Slayer, and the world called her a Martial Immortal." Tan Jing's eyes lowered a little, she let go of the hand that blocked Lu Xing's mouth, and said: "As a woman, I know the difficulty of cultivation, a traceless sword, which has made the men in the entire rivers and lakes unable to raise their heads for nearly twenty years. ”

"Although I don't practice martial arts, as a Confucian student, I am also admired by a good student......" Tan Jing nodded vigorously, and the crystal tears fell, but the splash was extremely brilliant.

Lu Xing was slightly stunned, looking at Tan Jing's sunflower-like smile, his heart was also warm, and he smiled slightly.

Riding the bonfire, the two leaned on the bluestone, looking up at the space, perhaps because of the ruins of Wendao, the light of the stars was as faint as if it had been separated by a veil, but the moonlight shone as always.

"Sister, although I don't know where you are now, you must take care of yourself."

"When I get out of the Wendao Ruins, I will go home, and when you are not at home, I will guard our common home for you."

"Also, I met a girl named Tan Jing today, a female master, who reads very well."

"It's just、I just don't know if my sister will like her......"

Lu Xing looked up at the sky, and every time he thought of Lu Shuang, his mind would be relaxed like never before, just like a baby child.

He had no other relatives since he was a child, and he was raised by his eldest sister Lu Shuang. But Lu Shuang once said that they actually have a very powerful and powerful big brother......

The long night is like a spark, entrusting everyone's dreams. Tan Jing's eyelashes stretched and fell at that time, and she didn't know what to think!
