"It seems that we will have to spend the night in the mountains tonight. Xu Shaofeng tied the white horse to the tree and said lightly. Staying in the mountains and forests overnight is a hard thing for ordinary people, but he doesn't care, walking the rivers and lakes and staying in the mountains and forests at night is a common thing for him.

Lu Xiaohua didn't care, she grew up in the mountains and forests. In response, she ran to tease Bai Ma, "Little white girl, I'll pick a lot of delicious grass for you in a while." You have to give me a good ride in the future, and don't jump around naughtily. With that, she took the pot out of her horse's bag, sniffed it vigorously against the wind, and then said with certainty, "There is spring water over there." ”

Xu Shaofeng followed her suspiciously, not too far, and really found that a clear spring suddenly emerged from the ground, merged into a trickle, and gradually sank into the soil.

Looking at the surprise in his eyes, Lu Xiaohua raised her little face proudly.

Fetch water back. Xu Shaofeng picked up wooden blocks and lit a bonfire. Lu Xiaohua set up a small pot and boiled mushrooms, rabbit meat and bear meat.

Looking at the bear meat in the pot with a smile, Lu Xiaohua thought: The bear paw finally let him get it back, I don't know how much it can be sold for?

Eating the fragrant broth, Lu Xiaohua told Xu Shaofeng about his interesting stories in the mountains and forests.

A few steps away was a dark silence, and the warm flickering light of the fire made everything look real and illusory. In my ears, the insects murmured comfortably in the grass. In the depths of the mountains and forests, occasionally a few owls sing lowly. For some reason, Xu Shaofeng suddenly had a desire to talk that he never had on weekdays.

"You're familiar with the mountains. He asked.

"Yes, I've lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I've lived there for almost fifteen years. Lu Xiaohua replied while setting the bonfire.

"Why do you want to live alone in the mountains?" Xu Shaofeng suddenly wondered.

"It's not one person, my family originally had three people. Lu Xiaohua stopped the movements in her hand, her voice was a little depressed, "When I was five years old, my mother died of illness, and my father was a little crazy since then. When he was eight years old, he ran out of the house and never returned. Uncle Zhang from the grocery store asked me to go down the mountain to live with him, but I couldn't bear the house that my mother and my father had built together, and I refused to leave. In the beginning, Uncle Zhang often came to take care of me, and Brother 'Stick' came with him every time. Then I got used to it, and I stayed there. If you hadn't come, I think I'd have lived in the mountains for the rest of my life. She stared at the campfire in a daze, her eyes reflecting a hazy starlight.

After a pause, she shook her head and said, "Don't talk about this." What about you? What were you doing when you were younger?"

"Me?" Xu Shaofeng thought seriously, "I seem to have been wandering the streets before I was four years old, and I can't remember it clearly." Later, I was picked up by the senior sister and entered the current master's door. ”

Lu Xiaohua was surprised: "You picked it up, don't you even have a relative?"

"Even if there is, I don't know who it is. Xu Shaofeng said calmly.

"Then you are worse than me, at least I know my father's name. Lu Xiaohua sighed.

"It's not miserable. Because of the war, many children at that time became orphans that no one wanted. The master adopted us orphans and finally selected five of us as disciples. If I hadn't met Senior Sister, I wouldn't have achieved what I am now. ”

"Well, that's true. In this way, you have five brothers. How do you get along with them?"

"Although the master is strict, the senior sister is very good to me. Except for the group of third senior brothers who are a little bad-hearted, the other senior brothers are very good. However, everyone usually practices separately, and they rarely see each other. ”

It turns out that these Jianghu people are usually practicing. Lu Xiaohua became curious, "Why do you like practicing so much, is it fun to practice?"

"It's not fun, it's just that I've been trying very hard to repeat the practice, which should be said to be very hard. ”

"Then why do you still practice?"

"Because Senior Sister said that you have to become stronger, so that you don't be bullied, and you can protect the people you want to protect!" Xu Shaofeng raised his head and looked at the starry night sky, "I have seen Senior Sister practice with my own eyes, and she is like a death when she practices." I learned from her, and then I slowly liked the exercises. Although it was very hard and tiring, I could feel that I was getting stronger little by little!" As he spoke, he placed the Cold Iron Xingxiao Sword horizontally on his lap, and his right hand slowly stroked the blade.

At this moment, Lu Xiaohua found that his eyes showed a light as bright as starlight. Blinking, she asked, "Why do you like this sword so much?"

Xu Shaofeng stared at the Cold Iron Star Sword and said, "When I was five years old, the master thought that I had the talent to practice swords, so he accepted me as a disciple and began to teach me to practice swords. Since then, this sword has become my friend. ”

"You started practicing swords when you were five years old?" Lu Xiaohua was taken aback.

"Yes. ”

"How long have you been practicing?"

"It's been fifteen years now. ”

"Then haven't you been practicing swords since I was just born!" Lu Xiaohua sighed, "No wonder you are better at this sword than you are to people, and you say that the sword is your friend." ”

"That's right. Xu Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth raised an extremely light arc.

Lu Xiaohua looked at him intently, "You look good when you smile, you should smile more in the future." "This man's eyes light up surprisingly when he talks about the sword, and he becomes much warmer, if only he could keep it like this.

"There's nothing funny about it, and besides, the swordsmanship I've practiced doesn't allow me to laugh. Xu Shaofeng cooled down again.

"Why doesn't swordsmanship allow you to laugh?" Lu Xiaohua was very strange.

"I practice the cold day swordsmanship, and the master said that I am a cold heaven physique, which is very suitable for practicing this set of swordsmanship. ”

"Did the swordsmanship say that you are not allowed to laugh, or did your master say that you are not allowed to laugh?"

"Not really. Xu Shaofeng was stunned for a moment and said, "The Cold Heaven Sword Technique is mainly to teach people to practice the Cold Heaven True Qi and the Cold Heaven Sword Technique. ”

Lu Xiaohua frowned and said, "No wonder you are always cold, it turns out that you have practiced some kind of cold." But since you didn't say you wouldn't laugh, you could have laughed more. ”

Xu Shaofeng's heart moved, and he muttered, "Can I smile more?"

"Of course you can! Since the swordsmanship didn't say that you weren't allowed to laugh, and your master didn't say you weren't allowed to laugh, why couldn't you smile more? Lu Xiaohua said lessons, "You always put on a cold look, as if people owe you a lot of money, no wonder you always lose in fights! You must know that blindly cold does not win the victory." ”

"Blind cold can't win the victory?" Xu Shaofeng repeated in a low voice, thoughtful. His swordsmanship has not improved for many years, is it because of this?

"Of course, it's a matter of course!" Lu Xiaohua looked at "Why are you so stupid", "Sometimes things that can be solved with a smile, why do you have to fight with others." "Is this man really, even to be taught to laugh?

This girl's way of thinking about things is completely different from herself! Xu Shaofeng's eyes were deep, and he seemed to have an understanding in his heart.

......

Late at night, Xu Shaofeng spread a thick cloth on the ground not far from the fire, and said to Lu Xiaohua, "Go to bed early." I have to go tomorrow. ”

"You come too. Lu Xiaohua sighed.

"No, I'm here. Xu Shaofeng walked over to a tree and sat down.

Lu Xiaohua sat down beside him with a thick cloth, and put half of the thick cloth on his body.

"I'm not afraid of the cold, just wear it. Xu Shaofeng stretched out his hand to block it.

"This is not an inn, so don't be polite to me. Lu Xiaohua smiled, and her eyes were almost open.

With a warm heart, Xu Shaofeng no longer refused.

Closing her eyes, Lu Xiaohua involuntarily leaned towards his arm.

"Don't come here. Xu Shaofeng subconsciously dodged.

"Why?" Lu Xiaohua asked in a daze.

Xu Shaofeng replied after a while: "I'm cold. ”

"But it's very comfortable. Lu Xiaohua muttered with her eyes closed, rubbed her head against his arm, and found a comfortable position to lean on.

Xu Shaofeng looked at her sideways, only to see her pink cheeks tightly pressed against her arms, her small mouth pursed slightly, her eyes that always smiled on weekdays had been closed, and her long eyelashes reflected two rows of beautiful silhouettes under her eyes, and she slept contentedly.

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, no longer dodging, and she was pillowed by her.

Looking at the crackling and flickering bonfire, he didn't feel a little sleepy. Recalling what Lu Xiaohua had just said, he felt as if he was about to grasp something important in his heart......

Lu Xiaohua fell asleep, and her head gradually slipped off his shoulders. Xu Shaofeng stretched out his hand to support her, raised his eyes to see the handkerchief on his arm, paused, and slowly took her into his arms.

Her even, shallow breath blew on his chest, and the dewy fragrance of flowers penetrated into his nose, and his heart couldn't help but ripple strangely.

She and herself are really not in the same world. She always laughs so easily, and the slightest thing can make her happy for a long time.

For some reason, with her, it is especially easy for me to lose my usual calm. She can always make herself angry, and then unconsciously lose her anger.

Holding Lu Xiaohua's soft and warm petite body, Xu Shaofeng suddenly felt an impulse in his heart that he had never felt before.

He couldn't help but hang his head and slowly approach her. When his lips touched her cheek very lightly, very shallowly, his heart filled in an instant. Her face is really the same as she imagined, soft and fragrant, a bit like the jelly bean that Senior Sister Ai Li secretly gave him behind everyone's back a long, long time ago!

"Hey, I saw it!" an uninteresting voice came from behind the tree.

"Who. Xu Shaofeng was startled and immediately held the sword in his hand.

"Shhhh In the darkness, the man gestured to him, "Follow me!"

Recognizing the person, Xu Shaofeng sighed. He gently put Lu Xiaohua down, covered her with the thick cloth on his body, and then followed.

Swept to a secluded place, Xu Shaofeng saluted the guy who was holding the tree with his back and shrugging his shoulders, "I've seen the third senior brother!"

"Why are you here now? Qiao Zhiye turned around, his expression was strange, "But it turns out that he is secretly dating a cute little girl." ”

Are you worried about me?" Xu Shaofeng gritted his teeth secretly. Actually, it's the trouble that came to me. He bowed indifferently and said, "Please punish Senior Brother." ”

"Come on, don't come to this set. Qiao Zhiye waved his hand boringly, stared at him, and said, "What's wrong with your arm?"

"It's just a minor injury, it's fine. Xu Shaofeng tore off the handkerchief and put it in his arms.

"That's good. Qiao Zhiye yawned lazily, "I don't care about anything else, you must do what you promised me." ”

"I will not disgrace my life. A sharp light flashed in Xu Shaofeng's eyes.
