Chapter 17 Suffering
The sky gradually darkened, and in the wind and rain, a figure swept by.
Lin Zhuo returned to the same place as fast as he could, but what was waiting for her was only the empty field and the traces left by the fighting method during the day.
She held an umbrella and looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, and for some reason she suddenly felt a little flustered, as if she had lost something important.
I stood there for a long time... Long...
It was completely dark, but the rain did not stop at all, but tended to get heavier and heavier.
Lin Zhuo returned to the camp and stayed in his residence for a long time, but he was still confused and couldn't sit still.
simply got up and held up an umbrella and walked towards landing Xueqi.
As soon as Fang entered, her face was slightly stunned, and she saw Lu Xueqi struggling to sit up from the bed at some point, looking at her, as if she was going out.
Wen Min kept persuading Lu Xueqi with an anxious face on the side, but she still replied with a cold face and a slightly stubborn corner of her mouth.
Wen Min couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Zhuo coming, and hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Lin, quickly persuade Xueqi, the master said that it was best for her not to go down to the ground for the past three days, just lie on the bed." ”
Lin Zhuo frowned slightly, looked at Lu Xueqi suspiciously, and said, "What are you doing?"
Lu Xueqi looked up at Lin Zhuo, then at Wen Min, her lips moved slightly, and before she could speak, Wen Min on the side took the lead and said: "Yesterday, Zhang Xiaofan of Dazhufeng seems to be back, and when you go out today, he doesn't know what kind of wind he smokes, and when he saw Senior Brother Qi Hao and Senior Sister Tian Ling'er, he was full of anger and wanted to make a move on Senior Brother Song of Dazhufeng, but he was later punished by Uncle Tian, and now he is still kneeling outside by the bamboo forest." ”
After a pause, she glanced at Lu Xueqi again, and then said, "I just came to see Xueqi, and I also sighed at Uncle Tian's strictness, Xueqi is like this..."
Lin Zhuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded to Wen Min and said, "I know, senior sister, you go to rest first, I'll take care of her." ”
Wen Min hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, glanced at Lu Xueqi with a little worry, and then disappeared into the rain with an umbrella.
Lin Zhuo turned her head and stared at Lu Xueqi without speaking, but Lu Xueqi's cold face slowly had an expression, she clenched her fists and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, I seem to be stunned." ”
After a long time, in Lin Zhuo's gaze, she had a pale face and whispered her heart.
"I don't know what's wrong, since I came back from Kongsang Mountain, I think of Zhang Xiao from time to time... Senior Brother Zhang, I heard that he couldn't come out of the abyss, so I... I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep at night. ”
"He saved me and protected me in the abyss of death, and now that he is suffering from this, how can I ignore and sit idly by. ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her voice slightly, and continued: "Senior sister, you know me, I'll go and see him, and I'll be back soon." ”
Lin Zhuo looked at the peerless face that seemed to be transparent under the light, raised his hand and took out a jade bottle, poured out a pill, and said, "Eat it!"
Lu Xueqi was slightly stunned, raised her hand and took it and put it in her mouth.
I only felt that this pill actually melted in my mouth, and a scorching warm current instantly swam all over my body, and the injuries I had suffered during the day were almost half healed.
She was slightly surprised and looked at Lin Zhuo, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
Lin Zhuo had already turned around and held up the umbrella and said, "I'll protect you over." ”
Lu Xueqi's beautiful eyes bent slightly and nodded.
...
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Lin Zhuo escorted Lu Xueqi all the way, although it was not far away, the hem of the two of them was still wet.
Dazhufeng temporarily lives in another cave, standing in the place where Xiaozhufeng and everyone live, you can see the slightly swaying fire at a glance, you can imagine how close it is.
Beside a small bamboo forest directly facing the entrance of the cave, a vague figure knelt there silently, and he couldn't notice it until he looked carefully.
He seemed to be abandoned by this heaven and earth, and the cold raindrops fell mercilessly on him, and he was soaking wet, with his head bowed and motionless.
Lu Xueqi, who was beside her, looked at this figure, stood in place for a long time, rejected Lin Zhuo's umbrella, she was drenched in heavy rain, and walked slowly towards the figure.
It wasn't until she walked in front of Zhang Xiaofan that the kneeling man seemed to notice something and slowly raised his head.
Bang!!
A flash of thunder flashed across the sky, illuminating the two men who were struggling in pain under the firmament.
Zhang Xiaofan's face was dull and his eyes were dilated, but he recognized Lu Xueqi, and the whole person was stunned.
The thunder and lightning slowly dissipated, and the two disappeared in the darkness again, and Lu Xueqi's gentle figure slowly squatted down in front of him.
Raising her hand to gently stroke the ends of Zhang Xiaofan's cold hair, her voice trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Don't be afraid... I'll be here with you..."
Bang!!
Another loud thunder roared in his ears, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes widened, and under the thunder light, the gentle face and gentle eyes were deeply rooted in his heart.
The woman whispered softly in the storm, facing Zhang Xiaofan and as if to herself.
"If you save me and protect me, at the cost of your own life, I will generally treat you..."
"The pain in your heart, God knows and I know, and I will bear it with you. I only hope that one day, you can be together with the people you love with joy..."
The voice gradually lowered, Zhang Xiaofan looked at this gentle shadow blankly, and waves gradually rose in the depths of his heart, like a raging wind, instantly submerging him.
...
After a long time, Lu Xueqi slowly retreated.
Lin Zhuo looked at her soaked, miserable and abnormal appearance, couldn't help frowning, took off his black robe and draped it over her body.
Unexpectedly, she smirked at herself, Lin Zhuo shook her head with a wry smile, and escorted her into the wind and rain.
...
After a long time, there was only the sound of wind and rain, but there was another shadow here, this person held a water-green oil-paper umbrella, and slowly came to Zhang Xiaofan's side.
"Silly boy!"
Zhang Xiaofan woke up like a dream, turned his head to look, and saw a beautiful girl in a water-green shirt, holding a paper umbrella, looking at him with a smile.
The wind and rain soaked a few strands of her clothes, clinging to the smooth skin, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look again.
"It's really strange for you Qingyunmen, you guys are still kneeling here in such a heavy rain, is it some special cultivation method?"
An ethereal voice came softly from the rain, Zhang Xiaofan froze for a moment, looked up, but saw a little tenderness on her face.
She squatted lightly on Zhang Xiaofan's side, and the oil-paper umbrella in her hand was also slanted a little, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt that the raindrops that fell on her body disappeared a lot, and the whole person was a lot easier, but half of the woman's shoulders were instantly wet.
Opening his mouth, he smiled bitterly and said in a hoarse voice, "You... How did you get here. ”
The woman didn't answer, but moved the umbrella slightly to this side, and Zhang Xiaofan only felt that there were a little less raindrops on him.
Smelling the faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, he turned his head to look, the two looked at each other, Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and his face turned red.
For some reason, the woman who has always talked a lot was silent, just quietly accompanying Zhang Xiaofan.
The two of them are like life and death in the blood cave, this scene is so familiar, after a long time, Zhang Xiaofan spoke softly and said: "I'm just an unknown disciple of Qingyunmen, you... Your father must have been a big man, so why did he take such a big risk to come here and suffer so much? ”
The woman shook her head and said, "No, I'm not bitter, you don't know, the real suffering in this world... It's all in people's hearts. ”
She slowly leaned her head on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder and closed her eyes.
The night was getting darker, and the wind and rain drowned the two of them...
