Seventy-one
Seeing Yan Ting here, Dugu Xiaoying was not very surprised, rolled up her sleeves and gently brushed the sweat on her forehead, showing a warm smile to Yan Ting.
Her smile was so contagious, in Yan Ting's opinion, there seemed to be nothing in this world that could calm his heart more than her laughter, and his heart was already drunk before the wine was drunk.
Yan Ting put his index finger on his lips and made a silent motion, and then pointed to a big grinding plate in the courtyard, Dugu Xiaoying stopped and tilted her head to listen, and vaguely heard a slight snoring sound behind the grinding plate, and her willow eyebrows frowned lightly and gave Yan Ting an inquiring look.
Yan Ting opened his mouth and said with his mouth: "Stinky girl." ”
Dugu Xiaoying walked over, and sure enough, Xiaocui was shrunk behind the grinding plate and fell asleep, with slender saliva still flowing from the corners of her mouth, Yan stood up and walked down in Dugu Xiaoying's ear and whispered: "This girl wanted to eavesdrop on us, but she fell asleep first." ”
Dugu Xiaoying couldn't help snickering, reached out and poked Xiaocui's round face, Xiaocui turned her head, Dugu Xiaoying gently picked her up and said to Yan Ting: "You wait for me." After that, he walked into the room, walked out after a while, and gently closed the door, saying, "So you came to me to drink with you?" ”
Yan Ting said: "It's not just to ask you for a drink, but also to say goodbye to you." ”
"When are you leaving?"
"Leave when you're done."
Dugu Xiaoying nodded and said, "You come with me." ”
The two walked out of the courtyard, Dugu Xiaoying took Yan Ting to the outer wall of Baihua Building, Dugu Xiaoying turned his head and smiled at Yan Ting: "I think you don't need a ladder." ”
"Of course not." Yan Ting smiled, turned over and climbed over the high wall, and flew to the top of Baihualou with a stare at his feet, and when he turned around, he saw Dugu Xiaoying sitting beside him, Yan Ting couldn't help but praise: "Girl's light skills, it may be difficult to find a third person in the world." ”
Dugu Xiaoying smiled: "So you can find the second one?" ”
Yan Ting smiled: "That second person is naturally my friend, before I met you, I always thought that there was no one in the world who could compare with him." ”
Dugu Xiaoying's smile became a little far-fetched, she looked at the lights of thousands of houses in the distance, and there was a look of loneliness in her eyes: "This is not a good thing for me, if I can, I would rather give up my martial arts to be the daughter of an ordinary family." ”
Yan Ting sat down next to Dugu Xiaoying, he could see that the woman in front of him had a deep scar in her heart, and he resisted his curiosity and didn't open his mouth to ask, because he himself was the same.
He could only pick up the wine, hoping to obscure the memories that flooded through his mind, and the figures broke his heart.
Dugu Xiaoying watched Yan Ting drink it in a big gulp, frowned and said, "You shouldn't drink this kind of wine like this, you will get drunk easily." ”
Yan Ting put down the wine jug, took a few deep breaths, and squeezed out a reluctant smile: "Sometimes I like to get drunk very much, and when I'm drunk, I don't think about what kind of person I am, do you want to try it too?" ”
Yan Ting handed the wine to Dugu Xiaoying, Dugu Xiaoying hesitated for a moment and took the wine jug, raised her head and took a sip like Yan Ting, and was immediately choked and couldn't stop coughing.
Yan Ting hurriedly patted her behind and asked, "Is it the first time you have been drinking?" ”
Dugu Xiaoying's face was spicy and red, and she said embarrassedly: "It's really the first time." ”
Yan Ting looked at Dugu Xiaoying's smile a little stupid, and couldn't help blurting out: "Has anyone ever said that your smile is beautiful?" ”
Dugu Xiaoying froze, the flush on her face was even worse, she stretched out her hand and touched the rotten sores on her face, secretly relieved, pretending to be annoyed and shouting: "Why do you say that!" ”
Yan Ting came back to his senses and knew that he was rude, but he didn't know how to make up for it, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with a rotten peach, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open, Dugu Xiaoying couldn't help but turn his head and snicker when he looked at Yan Ting's stupid appearance, and turned around and said: "You are the first person to say this, they all think I am ugly." ”
Yan Ting said: "If they only care about your skin, they will naturally not see your true beauty." ”
Dugu Xiaoying listened like she was on pins and needles, coughed lightly twice and hurriedly changed the topic: "You left in such a hurry, did you have news of that friend?" ”
Yan Ting said: "No, it's just that there is something more urgent to do right now, someone has set a trap for me, but I have to get in." ”
Dugu Xiaoying said: "I know it's a trap, but you still want to go?" ”
Yan Ting said: "I have no choice. ”
Dugu Xiaoying said: "How can people have no choice? Can you let go of everything you don't want to face and stay away from the grievances and disputes in the world with me, or are you still nostalgic for the world? ”
Yan Ting looked at the lights in the distance, his heart throbbed violently, he didn't want to live an ordinary life where the sun set and rested, but he knew that that kind of life could only be an unrealistic fantasy for him.
"I am not qualified now, and if I don't do some things, I will not only fail many people, but I will also live in endless regret for the rest of my life."
Yan Ting took a sip of wine, and then said: "And there are many people who don't allow me to live an ordinary life, and some are people I can't even imagine. ”
Dugu Xiaoying looked at Yan Ting with complicated eyes, the man in front of her was carrying a heavy responsibility, and she had a very uncomfortable premonition in her heart, it was very likely that this would be the last time she would see him.
"I want to hear your story." Dugu Xiaoying asked softly, and when she saw Yan Ting looking at herself, she hurriedly said, "It's okay if you don't say it, I know you must have secrets that you can't say." ”
Yan Ting smiled: "I can't say anything to you, but you have to tell me your name first." ”
Dugu Xiaoying smiled lightly and said, "It's okay to tell you, my surname is Dugu." ”
Yan Ting's heart suddenly set off a monstrous wave, and his eyes widened and exclaimed: "Is it the Dugu family in Jinling?" ”
"Not bad."
"Dugu Sword Saint has many children, who are you?"
"Thirteenth."
"Dugu Xiaoying?"
"It's me, you've heard of it?"
"It's hard not to hear your name." Yan Ting looked around at Dugu Xiaoying, and said excitedly: "A few years ago, there was a ranking of young and handsome people in the rivers and lakes, and the first one was you. ”
Dugu Xiaoying exclaimed: "I've never heard of this kind of ranking, which boring people do it?" ”
Yan Ting said with a smile: "It is recognized by many martial arts heroes, I haven't heard of anyone who has raised objections to this ranking." After speaking, he suddenly thought of the death of Dugu Sword Saint today, and looked at Dugu Xiaoying in front of him as if he didn't know it, and he hesitated a little and felt that it was better not to tell her.
"I've already said my name, now it's time for you to say it."
"You must not have heard of my name, my name is Yan Ting."

Dugu Xiaoying tilted her head and thought about it carefully, Yan Ting couldn't help but be a little happy when she saw Dugu Xiaoying's thoughtful expression, and said with a smile: "You don't have to think about it, you can't have heard my ......." ”
"I've heard your name."
Yan Ting was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you hear my name?" ”
Dugu Xiaoying's brows tightened, she closed her eyes and rubbed her head lightly, as if she had fallen into a deep memory, Yan Ting asked softly on the side, "Is it in the recent past?" ”
"It's not ...... recently" Dugu Xiaoying really couldn't remember, but her face was very firm: "I must have heard your name in the early years, but I can't remember who mentioned it." ”
"In the early years? That's even more undeserved, I've never dealt with anyone from the Dugu family. Yan Ting said with certainty.
Dugu Xiaoying's eyes lit up, stared at Yan Ting and asked, "Can you tell me about your family?" ”
Family? Yan Ting felt a pain in his heart, this dust was the last thing he wanted to recall in his heart, looking at Dugu Xiaoying's eager gaze, he couldn't refuse for a while, and coped: "My family is long gone. ”
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"Why do you want to know that?"
Dugu Xiaoying grabbed Yan Ting's hand and said word by word: "I just want to know, can you tell me in detail?" ”
The woman's close breathing and the soft touch of her hands made Yan Ting a little hot, and her body unconsciously leaned back, and Dugu Xiaoying also leaned forward and approached her whole body, almost pressing on Yan Ting's body, like a girl in estrus tempting her crush.
Yan Ting swallowed his saliva and nodded, turned his head and gently pushed it with his arm, suggesting that the two were a little closer, Dugu Xiaoying ignored it and still stuck to Yan Ting's side, and said, "That's it." ”
Yan Ting's eyes became a little confused, and after a moment of recollection, he said: "I also have a younger sister, and my parents used to be very good to us. ”
"Ever?"
"Yes, it wasn't until I was eight years old that their attitude suddenly changed, and my father threw me into a room with a hornet's nest, and refused to open the door no matter how much I wailed for help, until I was stung half to death and then threw me into a large medicine bucket and soaked me for a few days, and so on for half a year, and not only that, but every day after that he would press my head into the water and let me go when I was completely suffocated and unconscious."
"It's a way to build endurance, are they going to train you to be a snitch?"
"At that time, I didn't understand why they did this, I just thought that I was being naughty and was punished by them, and as I grew up they became more and more harsh on me, and made me go to the casino to steal the belongings of a noble guest, or rob the old and infirm, until one day the man gave me a firewood knife and told me to slaughter a big black dog, which was the first time I erased the life of a living being, and when I went to see him covered in blood, I was scolded by him."
"You didn't kill the dog?"
"No, because I've been using it for too long." Yan Ting couldn't help but smile bitterly, and continued: "It was a very difficult time, he began to teach me how to use weapons, told me the lethal points of the human body, and after I was able to easily kill some fierce beasts, he gave me a very special gift. ”
"What gift?"
"A woman in a coma." Yan Ting's face showed pain, and his hand unconsciously clenched Dugu Xiaoying was in pain, Dugu Xiaoying let go of his hand and hugged Yan Ting, and whispered in his ear: "Who is that woman?" ”
"My sister."
"What did you do to her?"
"He threw me a knife, and I killed my sister with my own hands, or my sister and I would have died."
"How did you do that?"
"I picked up the knife that the man threw at me and stabbed him in the chest."
"Where's your sister?"
"She woke up just in time when I killed the man and saw me stab the man to death." Yan Ting held his head with one hand and didn't want to say more, Dugu Xiaoying's charming voice sounded: "She saw it, what did you do again?" ”
I didn't dare to meet her eyes, turned my head and ran out.
"You leave her alone."
"Yes...... And when I walked out of the house to try to escape, I saw my mother hanging from a tree in the yard, and I ran like crazy until I was exhausted and unconscious......"
"Enough, enough, don't think about it anymore." Dugu Xiaoying patted the back of Yan Ting's head with his palm, Yan Ting's eyes instantly returned to brightness, and when he lowered his head and saw Dugu Xiaoying holding him in his arms, Yan Ting's body hurriedly pushed her away, and exclaimed: "This is ...... Enchantment? What did I say? ”
"Sorry, I just wanted to confirm one thing." Dugu Xiaoying rubbed the place where Yan Ting was pushed to, and said, "I can also be sure that your sister is in Dugu Mansion, and she mentioned your name to me." ”
