"Hey, stop here!" Lu Xiaohua suddenly turned her head and shouted.

What's wrong? Xu Shaofeng grabbed the reins and asked silently with raised eyebrows.

"There's a stream over there!" Lu Xiaohua shouted and jumped off the horse.

"I'm going to fetch water!" she pulled the water bladder from her saddle and ran into the brook laughing as she took off her shoes.

Xu Shaofeng let the white horse graze on the side of the road and followed unhurriedly. Looking at her lively back, the corners of his lips quietly hooked: in her world, there never seemed to be trouble. She is always so easy to be happy, and even the people around her are also tainted with her happiness.

Walking through the green meadows, a stream shuttles between the rocks, and from time to time stirs up waves, like fluttering blue satin. In the clear stream, a few black shadows wandered gracefully.

Lu Xiaohua immediately put down the water bladder in her hand, lifted her skirt, rolled up her trouser legs, and walked into the water.

After spotting her target, she made a quick move, and a slippery fat fish was held in her palms. But before she could rejoice, the fat fish suddenly twisted and bounced out of her palm.

She reluctantly rolled up her sleeves and did it again, but Fat Fish still did it again.

Lu Xiaohua bared her teeth at the fat fish angrily: This fish looks quite honest, why is it so slippery and doesn't keep your hands?

The big chubby black fish also stared at her with bulging eyes, still wandering slowly, as if to laugh at her incompetence.

I don't believe it! Unconvinced, she struck hard, but her feet slipped and her body fell back unsteadily, and she was about to fall into the water.

The word "bad" just flashed in her heart, a soft wind supported her from behind, and then a pair of slightly cool hands firmly supported her waist, and the next moment, she was firmly standing on the shore.

Lu Xiaohua opened her confused eyes and was confused, shouldn't she have fallen into the water, why did she get to the shore all of a sudden?

Seeing her stunned appearance, Xu Shaofeng couldn't help but chuckle out loud and said to her, "I'll come." ”

Seeing his smile, Lu Xiaohua blinked incredulously.

Since that day, both of them have tacitly agreed not to mention the events of that day. And he seemed to open his heart to her, smiling as he did today.

He would take her to avoid the avenue as much as possible and go to the mountain path. Although there will be many long detours, there are few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally you will only meet ordinary people, not those who fight and kill at every turn.

Lu Xiaohua sometimes thinks that it would be good if she could keep going like this.

"Hey, catch!" Xu Shaofeng quickly caught a big fish and threw it ashore.

Lu Xiaohua hurriedly put away her cranky thoughts and hurriedly caught the fish.

After a while, Xu Shaofeng caught several big fish.

The bonfire was lit, and Lu Xiaohua evenly spread the seasoning on the fish, and set it on the fire to roast constantly. Her movements are skillful and her eyes are focused, as if she is making a work of art.

Lu Xiaohua stared intently at the grilled fish on the fire, and Xu Shaofeng looked at her intently.

Before he met her, eating was nothing more than an end to hunger for him. It wasn't until he got to know her that he realized that the point of eating was not about eating, nor about eating, but with whom.

The aroma of the grilled fish gradually overflows, and the flavor of the fresh flavor is appetizing. Xu Shaofeng's gaze became deeper and deeper: perhaps only hunger can make people taste the satisfaction of full food, and only separation can make people understand the preciousness of reunion. It turned out that unconsciously, he was used to having her by his side. If you lose her smile, you'll be back to being the frighteningly cold person again. If I could, I would like to hold her hand tightly and keep her by my side all the time. ...... It turned out that the person who couldn't live without it turned out to be himself!

Lu Xiaohua raised her head, saw him looking at herself intently, and grimaced at him, "Hungry, aren't you hungry, don't worry, you will be able to eat soon." ”

Xu Shaofeng returned her a smile and said, "Sing the song you often sing on the mountain again." ”

"Okay. Lu Xiaohua happily responded, cleared her throat and sang:

Ay~~~

The green hills, the flowers are blooming

The turbulent river is full of water, and the fish are fat

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water

Mountains and rivers have a backing, good fortune

I'll sing, you can listen

Sing until the moon bends

A gust of wind climbed the slope

The flowers all over the mountain smiled and bent over

Her pure, clear singing voice flew far and wide above the forest like a big colorful bird.

Looking at her innocent smile, Xu Shaofeng suddenly felt that all the troubles on the rivers and lakes were far away from him......

The white horse carried the two of them all the way to the northwest, and the temperature began to gradually drop, and the green in the mountains and forests became thick and rich. Both changed into jackets. Xu Shaofeng was wearing homespun clothes bought for him by Lu Xiaohua. This dress was torn open when he was fighting with "Flywheel" Cheng Intercept, and now it has been mended by Lu Xiaohua. Lu Xiaohua also changed back into her original clothes. At a glance, the two of them looked like ordinary people.

On this day, the two of them were walking leisurely on the road, and three fast horses galloped past them. Xu Shaofeng stared at it, and there were immediately three young men. One was dressed in white, the other was in a green shirt, and the other was wearing a gray robe.

Suddenly, the man in the green shirt glanced back at him and whispered a few words to the other two men. All three stopped their horses at the same time and turned around.

Xu Shaofeng sighed slightly in his heart, was he still recognized? He handed over the reins to Lu Xiaohua and dismounted to meet the road.

Immediately, he knew all three of them, the one in white was Ye Feiyu, the young owner of Zhanhong Villa, the one in green shirt was Ma Xingyun, the only disciple of Li Zide of the Diancang faction "Blossom Smile", and the one in gray robe was Jiao Shenhao, the eldest disciple of Zhang Zhongyuan, the "Iron Horse Jinge" of the Qingcheng faction. Their elders, their fathers or masters, all died in Humopo.

Li Zide, Zhang Zhongyuan and Ye Piaoling, the owner of Zhanhong Village, are close friends. After Li Zide retired from the Diancang faction, the three of them often went to Zhanhong Villa to drink, so the relationship between their next generation, Ma Xingyun, Jiao Shenhao and Ye Feiyu, was also very good.

"Xu Shaofeng didn't expect you to appear here!" Ye Feiyu slapped his horse in front of him, jumped down, drew his long sword, and asked angrily, "How did my father die?"

Facing his sword blade, Xu Shaofeng's expression remained unchanged, "If I say that I don't know what happened on the Tiger Mo Slope, can you believe it?"

"How is that possible!" Ye Feiyu's face was full of disbelief.

"That's just the way it is. Xu Shaofeng tried his best to explain, "At that time, I was seriously injured and could not participate in the battle on the Humo Slope, so I don't know the specific situation. ”

Ye Feiyu said curiously: "How could you be seriously injured?"

Xu Shaofeng was silent for a moment and said, "There is another high-ranking sect involved here, so I can't tell you." ”

Ye Feiyu snorted coldly, "If you don't make it clear, how can I believe you!"

Xu Shaofeng was furious by his impossibility on the left and disbelief on the right, and said proudly: "If you don't believe it, my life is here, you can take it!"

Ye Feiyu raised the sword in his hand high, his face changed many times, and he finally couldn't do it. Xu Shaofeng is the leader of their generation, and since he watched the battle between Xu Wen and the two, he admires Xu Shaofeng even more.

He put away his sword in a dejected manner and said fiercely: "I will definitely find out about this matter!"

Jiao Shenhao took a halberd from his horse and said loudly: "He doesn't want to do it, I'm different." Let's see the real chapter under the weapon! The winner speaks. If I win, you're going to tell me the whole truth!"

"That's it. Xu Shaofeng admired his heroism, and immediately drew the sword in his hand.

Jiao Shenhao studied under the "Iron Horse Jinge" Zhang Zhongyuan, the halberd is strong and heavy, after the wheel is opened, the wind is loud, it is difficult to get close within a few zhang, if the general weapon collides with it, it will inevitably break. But the Cold Iron Xingxiao Sword in Xu Shaofeng's hand is a sword forged by the spirit of flying stones outside the sky, and he is not afraid of colliding with his long halberd. Although Xu Shaofeng was slightly inferior to him in strength, his swordsmanship was unpredictable, close to the body, and he had the upper hand with short blows.

After more than a dozen moves, Jiao Shenhao was careless and was stabbed in the arm by Xu Shaofeng. He was not convinced, let out a loud shout, threw away the halberd, and said, "Let's try the palm technique again!"

"Okay!" Xu Shaofeng was also fighting with him, and then put away the cold sword and stared at each other.

Jiao Shenhao saw that he should go down, so he didn't say a word, and waved his palm. His palm is like his halberd, strong and brave, and the applause is whirring like a gale.

Xu Shaofeng did not dodge or dodge, and greeted him with his palms. The two of them clapped each other hard. "Boom", and at the same time, he was shocked back by the opponent's palm force.

Jiao Shenhao's blood was rolling and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and he was slightly injured, but he didn't care at all, and exclaimed happily.

Xu Shaofeng only felt that his arms were numb and his body was unstable, and he couldn't help but admire Jiao Shenhao, and hugged his fists and said: "I have something important to do now, and I will give you an explanation after some time." ”

Jiao Shenhao raised his hand to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and said happily: "I'll wait for you!"

Ma Xingyun had been silent, staring at Xu Shaofeng for a long time, and then suddenly smiled and said, "You seem to have changed a lot, if it was in the past, you would never explain it to us." After a pause, he said, "I like you more now, human." I'm curious, what changed you?"

Xu Shaofeng didn't want him to say this, so he was slightly stunned and said, "What do you want?"

Ma Xingyun smiled and said, "I'll also wait for your explanation with them." ”

The three of them rode away, and Jiao Shenhao turned around and said, "The Qingyuan faction has united all the major sects and is ready to go to Kunlun to ask you for an explanation, you had better be prepared." ”

Seeing that the three of them finally left, Lu Xiaohua asked curiously, "Did you win this time?"

Xu Shaofeng pondered and did not answer.

Lu Xiaohua asked again: "Why don't you explain it to them like you did with Brother Liu?"

Xu Shaofeng sighed secretly: These three people are all young and vigorous, and if the matter of Humopo cannot be explained clearly, it will be a bad thing.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Lu Xiaohua shouted anxiously: "Isn't the matter of Hu Mopo irrelevant to you? The eldest husband does things alone, and he can't do things that he doesn't do by himself!"

Xu Shaofeng's brows furrowed more and more: Things have developed to this point, if you don't make it clear, I'm afraid you will cause trouble to the master. But how can this be explained?

"Hey, you're saying something. Lu Xiaohua pulled his sleeve hard, and got up anxious for him, "Why don't you go to all of them and make it clear to your face, it's not a matter of always hiding." ”

Xu Shaofeng's eyes sank, and he made up his mind. Seeing that there was no one around, he took out a black cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaohua.

Lu Xiaohua opened the cloth bag curiously, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Wow, this bead is so beautiful!"

"Didn't you see anything?" Thinking of his state when he first saw the Phantom Bead, Xu Shaofeng couldn't help but be stunned.

"See, this bead is so beautiful!" Lu Xiaohua turned the bead against the sun, and the bead reflected a touching light.

Xu Shaofeng looked sideways, and at the same time was even more puzzled: Why did the phantom bead have no effect on her? Could it be that the phantom bead only worked on people who had internal strength? However, this didn't seem to make sense.

I couldn't understand that he simply didn't want to, so he said to Lu Xiaohua: "You can help me collect the beads first." ”

"Are you really relieved to let me keep such a beautiful bead?" Lu Xiaohua looked incredulous, this bead knew that it was expensive at a glance.

Xu Shaofeng said solemnly: "This is what the master wants me to look for." If anything happens to me, please take me to Kunlun Mountain, find my senior sister Ai Li, and ask her to pass it on to the master. ”

"I don't want it!" Lu Xiaohua heard him say so terrifyingly, and hurriedly returned the beads to him.

Xu Shaofeng didn't answer, and said, "If you agree, I'll try to explain the matter of Humopo to those people." If you don't say yes, I won't even try. ”

When Lu Xiaohua heard him say this, she couldn't help but feel anxious for him, "If you don't make it clear, won't you be old enough to fight with them?"

Xu Shaofeng raised his head and said coldly and arrogantly: "So what? Let's fight one by one, let's fight two with a pair!"

Lu Xiaohua suddenly became anxious, "Have you beaten so many people? Do you know how much effort it took me to save you? What if you are beaten to death again?"

Xu Shaofeng turned his face away and looked disapproving.

Lu Xiaohua stared at him for a long time, and wondered very much in her heart: Why don't these people in the rivers and lakes seem to be afraid of death? But since it was not easy to save him, I really don't want him to die.

She had no choice but to say, "Okay." I promise you, but you also have to promise me that you must explain it clearly to everyone and don't get angry and fight at every turn. ”

"I promise you. Xu Shaofeng responded. Re-wrap the beads and give them to Lu Xiaohua.

After Lu Xiaohua took the cloth bag, she suddenly came to her senses, "Hey, why should I care about this, it's your own business, right?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Shaofeng's mouth, "You can't go back on what you promised." ”

Lu Xiaohua stared at the smile on the corner of his mouth, and secretly wondered: Why do you always feel that he is getting more and more different from before? But I have to admit that he looks much better than when he was cold. Well, for the sake of him getting better, let's help him once. Lu Xiaohua turned her back and put away the black cloth bag closely.

Xu Shaofeng put away his smile and looked into the distance.

For a long time, he thought that only the growth of martial arts could not be bullied and protect the people he wanted to protect. Now, his martial arts have not increased much, but his heart has become stronger.

Yes, people can't blindly escape, they have to face what they should face calmly!
