Thinking that at that time, the Quxin Sect Master had also snickered when he heard him say this, Zhuo Hua was relieved in the blink of an eye, the old man's swordsmanship and martial arts were far more advanced than he imagined, and it was obviously not a bad thing, if he did his best to calculate the old man's exquisite martial arts, there would be great hope for avenging his father and mother in the future.

Li Ruolin was stunned when she saw him, showing a thoughtful look, and a feeling of loneliness surged in her heart, perhaps because she didn't want the atmosphere to return to condensation, she asked in general terms of topic: "I have reported my home to you, but I still don't know who your surname is, this jade pendant is engraved with the word 'Ji', so you must be surnamed Ji?" ”

Zhuohua came back to his senses, but his heart skipped a beat, and he just took his fingertips to carve a 'Ji' word on this jade pendant, which was a helpless act on a whim, but he never thought about how to explain, and at this time, he had to push the boat down the river in the face of questioning: "Yes, I am indeed surnamed Ji, and my name is Ji... His mind was blank, and he secretly regretted that he hadn't listened to the old man's words and re-decided on a name, but the words had already reached his lips, Zhuohua looked up at the sky and looked at this darkness, and he didn't have time to think, so he continued casually: "It's called Ji Ye." ”

"Season Night? It sounds like a random name. Li Ruolin said.

Zhuohua thought to himself that this is my name that I am talking nonsense, how can it not be arbitrary? He still said: "My master has called me this name since I can remember, and it should be taken from the word 'Ji' on the jade pendant." ”

Li Ruolin remembered that he had said before that he was an orphan picked up by his master, and this jade pendant was the only thing left by his biological father, and he took it away because the two pieces of jade were somewhat similar, it was really undeserved, and her heart softened, she took out the jade pendant from her arms and said: "I still return this jade pendant to you, so as not to say that I robbed your father's and mother's relics." ”

Zhuohua took the jade pendant, which was still a little warm, and no longer hung it on his waist as before, but touched a piece of coarse cloth and carefully wrapped it and put it into the package. Li Ruolin saw the jade flute in the package, and couldn't help but sigh casually: "What a delicate flute, this is also what your master left you?" ”

Seeing this flute, Zhuo Hua suddenly remembered that the two antidote pills given to him by the sect leader had not yet been taken for her, and after thinking about it, he turned over the pill and said: The miasma in the body of the five poisons has not disappeared before, this is the antidote to eliminate the miasma, you can take it. He hadn't been born to tell a few lies, which would have made up some excuse for her to take the antidote, and it seemed a little clumsy.

Li Ruolin saw that this pill was the size of an egg yolk, frowned and asked, "Miasma?" This thing can also cure miasma, so why haven't I seen you take this pill? ”

Zhuohua's heart was already tight, and after this question, he paused before saying, "I took it when the sect leader summoned me. ”

"That's not appropriate, this pill is so big, how can you swallow it without water? I won't drink the bath water you just soaked. ”

Zhuohua was helpless for a while, but he was so familiar with this place, he still said honestly: "There is another water source not far away, you wait for me to go there to get some water." With that, he turned and walked deeper into the woods.

Li Ruolin wanted to stop him, but Zhuohua disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye. She didn't understand the truth that this stream flowed endlessly, but she was used to being arrogant on weekdays, and she was willing to give up only if she had to talk about it, but who knew that she would go to find another water source without arguing with her this season and night, the people in the palace, not to mention the eunuchs and palace maids, even the ministers outside the palace were also wearing a false face, and they were careful to flatter on weekdays, and the man in front of him was so honest no matter when, and there was a burst of guilt in his heart.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhuohua to come back with a wide banana leaf. Li Ruolin didn't say anything more, and swallowed the pill in half along the clear spring water, only to feel that although the pill looked difficult to swallow, it was a slightly sweet and cool feeling in the mouth, and most of the resistance disappeared immediately.

When Zhuohua saw her eat, his heart was also much more stable, and he could be sure that he would be safe within a year, as for going north to find her daughter for the sect leader this time, it was just fate.

Swallowing the pill, Li Ruolin saw that the night was getting thicker, and said, "It's not too early, you should rest early, and we will leave as soon as the morning dawns." ”

Zhuohua nodded and said hello, but saw that Li Ruolin had his back against the tree, sitting cross-legged with his hands on his knees with his eyes closed, and he also returned to his place and sat down. The forest was calm again, but Zhuohua's thoughts returned to that blood-soaked night ten years ago.

Thinking of the tragic death of his father and mother, and the fire in the city that day, thinking back to what Li Ruolin said just now, at that time, the old man sacrificed his life to rescue him from the mansion, it turned out that it was only because he was the chosen son of Yuguo, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have died in the mansion ten years ago and became a member of the thousands of souls in Kuizhou.

It's just that who instructed the old man to save me, the emperor of the Feather Kingdom? No, it's impossible, if that's the case, why don't you bring me back to the palace, but I haven't said anything about this matter all these years, so it can be seen that the old man will never be appointed by Yu Guo, and it may even be an enemy of Yu Guo.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuohua came back to his senses, but when he looked up, he caught a glimpse of Li Ruolin falling asleep with his back against the trunk of the tree behind him, he sighed secretly, and he was still on guard at that time, and said that he was going to meditate all night, and he would have fallen asleep soundly. But it's no wonder that she is really tired from the carriage and horse rush all the way.

Looking at her pretty face in her sleep, Zhuo Hua couldn't help but think that he was a son, if the old man brought him back to the palace at that time, then he would have been able to get acquainted with him, and until now, he can also be called a childhood sweetheart, but I don't know if this prince and princess who are not related by blood can...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, Li Zhuohua, Li Zhuohua, when did you learn to be so delusional, and still think that you are the young master of the house? Now don't say it's your life experience, even if it's this name, you don't dare to say it to her. Thinking of this, my heart is condensed again, and I am afraid that I can only use Ji Ye's casual name when I walk the rivers and lakes in the future, but fortunately, after this time, the old man has finally done what he explained. I just looked in the direction of the original Zhuangzi not far away, thinking that I don't know when I will be able to meet the old man again.

It has been more than a month since the old man left the villa, and Zhuohua really misses it, but now that even this village has disappeared, where should I go to find their traces in the future? The same feeling of helplessness as ten years ago came to my heart, as if the world was so big that there was no place for him Li Zhuohua.

In the midst of the churning thoughts, I don't know when a faint morning light appeared in the distance, and it turned out that the whole night had passed unconsciously. He added two more handfuls of firewood, and suddenly sleepiness struck, and he thought that it would be better to wait for a short time before he set off on his journey, so he tilted his neck and fell asleep against the bottom of the tree.
