The hour had passed, and the time had come to the next day.

There was a light rain in the sky.

The night rain is misty, making Daliang Mountain seem to be covered with a thin veil.

Daliang Mountain is located outside Xuanshui City, it is the natural danger between Zhou and Liangguo, Liangshan is not high, but it is extremely wide in vertical and horizontal, the internal terrain is complex, even if it is a familiar hunter, many people die in the mountain every year for some reason.

Daliang Mountain at night is even more inaccessible.

Because of the beast, because of the bandits.

Daliang Mountain is by no means a good place.

Beasts are rampant in it, and monsters breed aside, not to mention for the time being.

Because it is located at the junction of the two countries, Daliang Mountain has become a three-way zone that has no place to belong.

A large amount of goods passed through here, smuggled into another country, and various large and small smuggling routes, merchant houses and horse caravans bred a large number of outlaws.

The second of the four evils of Xuanshui City: the Black City Walled City and the Tiger Roaring Camp are the largest bandit groups in this Great Liang Mountain.

Xuanshui City on a rainy night has fallen asleep.

However, this Daliang Mountain, like a night beast that has woken up, slowly opened its eyes.

……

Near a certain mountainside in Xuanshui City, there is a ruined temple.

The dilapidated temple is in disrepair, but the walls and tiles are still intact, and it is a good place to shelter from the rain at night in the mountains and forests.

She stepped on the mud and drenched in the icy night rain, and trotted briskly to the temple gate.

Stretching out a slender hand, he pushed open the door.

The creaking sound of breaking the door, and the fire and warmth coming from the temple made the woman breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole person warmed up.

Walking gently into the temple, spacious but dirty, warm but dim.

"Excuse me."

Ling Miao stood at the door, and said to the man in front of the fire, and saw the man look at him in a trance.

He nodded, but his eyes were focused on the air in front of him, as if he was not in his right mind.

This made Ling Miao couldn't help but be a little careful.

But considering that it was not a small risk to travel at night, and it was still raining lightly outside, Ling Miao couldn't help but grit her teeth, and decided to hide from the rain in this temple.

- Of course, it may also be that although the man in the temple is not like an ordinary person, he looks and dresses like a serious person.

……

Wind and rain, in the middle of the night, a broken temple, a man and a woman.

The woman's name is Ling Miao, she is about sixteen years old, her facial features are exquisite, and her rain-soaked Aya Luo makes her figure extremely attractive, which also proves that her background is not an ordinary family.

But for some reason, this woman stayed alone in this mountain late at night.

The man is Lu Ming, the same twenty-eight years of Hua facial features are quite handsome and dignified, at this moment he is sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a brocade cloth package at his feet, a long sword, and an oil-paper umbrella.

Only his eyes were a little abnormal.

His eyes were staring blankly at him, and the muscles on his body were tense as if he was preoccupied with something important - but in Ling's eyes, there was obviously nothing in front of him......

It's weird.

The dim light of the fire illuminates the statue of the mountain god on the offering table, and the statue of the mountain god is terrifying with its teeth and claws.

The ruined temple, as well as the strange man, made Ling Miao curl up and sit by the fire, not daring to say a word.

After about a stick of incense, Lu Ming suddenly sighed.

"Damn, I made a mistake, I didn't make it past 20 points."

He muttered, but he couldn't hear it.

Later, Lu Ming raised his head and smiled mildly at Ling Miao, then stood up with the package, wanting to go to the backyard of the ruined temple.

"It's raining outside." Ling Miao couldn't help but remind, and saw that Lu Ming's footsteps didn't stop, and he just smiled and said softly: "Relieve yourself, go and go back." ”

"Umbrella, you didn't take the umbrella."

Lu Ming had already left the broken temple in a hurry.

……

After about two sticks of incense, Lu Ming returned to the temple.

Ling Miao, who was sitting by the fire, had just fallen asleep, but was woken up by Lu Ming's voice.

Looking up at Lu Ming, he saw that Lu Ming had changed into clean new clothes, and the water stains on the tips of his hair were dripping, not just in the rain, but also like a good wash through the well in the backyard.

She twitched the wings of her nose slightly.

There was a faint fragrance in the slight stench, which made Ling's ethereal little face wrinkle, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Lu Ming sat back by the fire, quietly filling the firewood, and Ling Miao lost his sleepiness.

She sat on the ground with her legs folded and looked at Lu Ming quietly, until a moment later, she suddenly spoke, her voice as crisp as a yellow bird.

"My name is Ling Miao, and I'm sixteen years old this year, what about you?"

"My name is Lu Ming, and I am also sixteen years old this year."

After speaking, Lu Ming smiled gently at Ling Miao: "I'm from Xuanshui City, what about you?" ”

"I'm from Stormy Wind."

"Stormy Village?"

"Well, a small village in the interior of Liangshan."

"I'm lonely, but I've never heard of the name of Stormy Wind Village."

"It's not surprising, Liangshan is big enough, and there are many villages inside. Even there are many dangers in the mountains, maybe the village is still there today, and the village will be gone tomorrow, so the villages of various names emerge in endlessly, not to mention outsiders, even those of us who sit on the ground in Daliang Mountain can't recognize all the miles. ”

may have heard that there was a meaning in Lu Ming's words to find the root of the matter, but instead of being vigilant, Ling Miao said a lot generously.

"As for me, I accidentally ran too far tonight to chase a white fox. It just so happens that the sky is not beautiful, so I am trapped here. ”

As she spoke, she playfully stuck out her tongue and asked again, "What about you?" It's so late, what are you doing in Daliang Mountain? ”

"I'm ......"

Lu Ming smiled and filled a piece of firewood into the fire, and then spit out the word.

"Escape."

"Running for your life?"

"Well, there has been a sudden change in my family recently, and my family wealth has attracted a group of young coveters, in order to avoid the disaster, I had to go out of the city at night and plunge into this big cool mountain."

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's hand couldn't help but pause.

Later, he smiled and said again: "Maybe at this hour, my old house has turned into a sea of fire." ”

Lu Ming smiled and said something chilling, which caused Ling Miao's little face to twitch: "Strange man." ”

"Me?"

"Well, the house has been burned, and you can still laugh."

"Why can't you laugh? That's a good thing. ”

"A good thing? It's a good thing that the house has been burned. ”

"Well, a good thing. I'm alive after all. ”

"Only when people live can there be hope."

Vaguely feeling that Lu Ming's reasoning was a bit interesting, Ling Miao muttered thoughtfully: "Hope? ”

"Well, the hope of getting everything back that was lost."

At this point, Lu Ming suddenly looked up at the entrance of the mountain temple.

I heard the sound of the "crunch" door.

Two men in black clothes braved the wind and rain and walked into the temple from outside the door.

Through the flashing firelight, Lu Ming saw the word "sky" tattooed on the chests of the two, and the two also saw Lu Ming's face with faint water stains.

"Young helper!?"

An exclamation of disbelief came from the mouths of the two men, and Ling Miao was slightly stunned, and then he noticed a long, hard thing on his thigh.

Looking down, he saw that an oil-paper umbrella had been handed to his lap by Lu Ming.

"It's time for you to go."

The man named Lu Ming, who was called the young gang leader by the man, had deep eyebrows and eyes, and a dim flame was reflected in his eyes.

Ling Miao unconsciously spoke: "Where are you going?" ”

"Get out of here, go anywhere."

Ling Miao opened his mouth unconsciously: "You want to ......"

Lu Ming's eyes were deep, and he said faintly: "Little by little, take back what I lost." ”

"From now on!"
