Outside the woods.

The figure of the shadow is long in the sun.

His long figure remained motionless, with a sword in his arms and a hat on his head.

The scabbard of this sword is made of gold.

The mountain wind kills, and the wind blows up the clothes of shadows.

A fallen leaf blowing from nowhere, gently fell at the foot of the shadow, looking at the falling leaves, the shadow sighed and said: "The fallen leaves also have a moment to return to their roots, not to mention being alone." ”

It was not yet noon, and the woods behind the shadow were very dense, and the light in the woods was still dim, and the shadows did not hear human footsteps in the trees.

But a man's voice still came from the woods, "The people in the rivers and lakes have no home. ”

"I actually know that. The shadow said faintly.

"The man who came out of the house seems to be a little bit unkind. "It's a woman's voice, it's sweet.

"Why?" the shadow never looked back, his gaze fixed on the distant hillside, where he seemed to have spotted something strange.

"If a man is too homesick, he will become as tender and lonely as a woman. The figure of the woman floated out of the woods, and her feet did not seem to fall to the ground.

Instead, it floated out of the woods like fallen leaves in the wind.

The woman was dressed in a green dress, her face was covered with a white veil, and she carried a sword in her hand.

When the figure landed in front of the shadow, the woman in the green dress stopped on the ground.

"Are you the shadow?" said the woman in the green dress softly.

"Are you Feng Erniang in the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies?" Shadow didn't answer her words, but asked rhetorically.

"Are you the real shadow, not the Yang shopkeeper of the 'Unmanned Inn'?" the woman in the green dress nodded, acknowledging her name.

"A name is just a person's code name, and it doesn't seem to matter what it's called. The shadow said faintly.

"I admit that a person's name can sometimes become an invisible pressure that makes people breathless. Feng Erniang looked at the shadow standing.

"It must be that this person has too many thoughts, and if a person is not concerned, he must not have any pressure. The shadow didn't move, just looked at Feng Erniang with his eyes.

"Oh!" Feng Erniang responded, but suddenly said: "How do you know that I am Feng Erniang." ”

"You seldom go out of the valley, but I know someone you know. Shadow said.

"Well, I know who this man you are talking about, and he should not have come to the valley again. Feng Erniang sighed, and her eyes began to become melancholy.

"Sooner or later, the one who should come will come, and he is a guest in the valley. The shadow said coldly.

"It seems that you have been paying attention to him for a long time when you were the shopkeeper. Feng Erniang said.

"A person who can be a shopkeeper must be familiar with the preferences of every guest, otherwise he will not be a good shopkeeper. The shadow said lightly.

"It seems that you are indeed a suitable person to be a shopkeeper, and you are familiar with every guest. Feng Erniang's brows under the veil furrowed slightly.

"Of course!" the shadow didn't wait for Feng Erniang to speak, and said, "For example, you in front of you." ”

The face under the veil was slightly stunned.

Feng Erniang carefully looked the shadow up and down, and suddenly pulled out the sword in her hand.

In the blink of an eye, the blade of the sword had already touched the arm of the shadow holding the sword, and the blade moved up and down, and a slit immediately appeared on the sleeve of the shadow, but the shadow standing did not move.

Feng Erniang was stunned again, and said sharply: "Why don't you pull out your sword?"

"I didn't want to kill you, why did I draw my sword?" said the shadow coldly.

"But my sword is unsheathed. Feng Erniang didn't believe her ears a little.

"You think your sword can kill me as soon as it comes out of its scabbard?" Shadow didn't look at the stabbing sword, and stared straight at Feng Erniang's face.

The face under the veil was hesitating, and Feng Erniang's breathing had accelerated.

She really didn't want to believe that the man in front of her was indifferent to what she was doing.

Because as long as it is a sword, it is very sharp, and it can kill a person.

And the living man stood right in front of his eyes, and he also had a sword in his hand, but his sword was still in his arms.

Feng Erniang couldn't know what was going on in the shadow at this moment, but she saw the majesty of a man in the shadow's eyes.

There is also a kind of coldness that makes people shudder.

The sword in Feng Erniang's hand slowly fell, and she said with a hint of sadness: "Lonely shadow, broken bowel-breaking crescent." Shadow is indeed not a simple person. ”

"Only by being a simple person can we live with peace of mind. I've never had as much scheming as him. The shadow brought up the man again.

Feng Erniang seemed to approve of Shadow's words, and couldn't help but nod.

"He went to open a dart game, in fact, to wait for an opportunity. The shadow continued.

Feng Erniang's eyes widened.

Until Li Qing appeared, he knew that the opportunity that belonged to him had come. The shadow said again.

Feng Erniang's breathing under the veil had almost stopped, and this man knew a little too much.

At this moment, the shadow's gaze moved to the distant hillside, and he seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Are you waiting for Li Qing?" Feng Erniang didn't look back, she suddenly said to the shadow.

"This person is also important to you right now. The shadow withdrew her gaze and looked at Feng Erniang's face.

"Because I am the mother of a child. Feng Erniang said worriedly.

The shadow's gaze began to shrink, and he closed his mouth.

Walking into the rivers and lakes, home is a kind of concern, and family affection is one of a woman's biggest weaknesses.

No matter what time it gets, it's hard for them to let go.

Especially a woman who has become a mother, she can even change her original intention for the sake of her own family affection.

Shadow knew who she meant the child was, and he knew that in this case, no one could sever the mother-daughter bond between them.

Feng Erniang's intention to come to the shadow has already understood in her heart.

She can't change her fate, but she is committed to changing the fate of her children with her heart.

"You saw him back in the valley?" the shadow moved the sword in his arms.

The golden scabbard shone golden yellow in the sunlight.

Feng Erniang nodded, paused and said: "He is still the same him, they have arrived at the entrance of the cave in the forbidden land, they take Li Qing with them, but... ”

Feng Erniang suddenly stopped her words, and she suddenly seemed to remember something.

Seeing Feng Erniang's surprised expression, the shadow's sharp eyes stared at Feng Erniang, and he wanted to know what kind of sentence was behind this sentence.

But at this moment, Feng Erniang seemed to have become mute again, and she looked closely at the woods behind the shadow with distracted eyes, as if there was a very terrible person hiding in the woods.

For a long, long time, there was no one in the woods who she wanted to see.

The shadow didn't move, and he didn't turn his head with Feng Erniang's gaze.

"The person you see should be him. The sword in Shadow's hand suddenly tightened.

"He's always in unexpected places. Feng Erniang looked a little nervous.

Before the shadow could speak, she continued, "You are friends, and I can only trust you now." ”

"Is he in your forbidden land?" the shadow's ears moved.

He struggled to listen to any sounds he might have made in the woods.

It's a pity that he didn't hear anything.

"I'll take you to a place where Li Qing will definitely go. Feng Erniang turned around abruptly and walked towards a forest in the distance.

A smile appeared on the shadow's face.

Outside the bamboo building, it is as quiet as in the dead of night.

Unfortunately, it was not night, but the sun was rising high.

When the sun came out, there should be a person outside the bamboo building, but Li Qing didn't see anyone, he didn't even hear a bird's call, as if there was never a bird around the bamboo building.

When he woke up, Li Qing felt that his body was very tired.

Li Qing is not an iron-clad man after all, not to mention that he can always encounter many unexpected things these days.

As for how he slept in the bamboo building, he didn't want to think about it at all.

Because as long as you can still open your eyes and see the sun, it is enough to prove that you are still alive today.

Outside the house was the staircase of the bamboo building, and Li Qing walked down the wooden staircase and walked to the door of the bamboo building.

The path outside the bamboo building is paved with blue-gray rocks, and it is very clean, there is not a single fallen leaf on the path.

Standing outside the door, Li Qing let out a long breath, he really wanted to remember everything that happened last night, but unfortunately after just a glass of wine, he couldn't remember anything.

There is no Purple Butterfly in front of her, there is no Fluttershy, and even Ning'er, who is very gentle with herself, has left her.

The bed he slept on was soft and comfortable, and it was indeed a good place to sleep lazily, if he didn't want to get up, the people who could let him get out of bed would be afraid that there would be few people in the rivers and lakes now.

Unless he himself doesn't want to sleep in this lazy sleep.

Of course, Li Qing couldn't sleep.

Because of the wine brought by Fluttershy, he just went for a drink, not to mention that the gentle Ning'er was still by his side.

When encountering drugged wine, at least Ning'er would hint that she shouldn't drink it, but Ning'er didn't do anything, and she didn't remind herself of any hints.

As for why Ning Er did this, Li Qing couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand Ning Er's thoughts at that moment.

Maybe he shouldn't have drunk the knife-burning wine sent by Fluttershy, it can really burn his brain, Li Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Of course, when he didn't want to think about it, Li Qing would never think about it again.

At this time, a red light flashed on the path in front of the bamboo building.

If it was at night, Li Qing might have believed in this red lantern with a flickering candlelight.

But it was daytime, and no one liked to carry a lantern in broad daylight, unless the man was blind.

So looking at the red light, Li Qing sighed lightly, this is definitely a girl's moving figure.

There is only one girl in a red dress in the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies, and she is like a little red fox.

The fox was not walking slowly, but Li Qing felt that the girl was moving faster than the fox.

This girl must be Xiao Ye in a red dress.

Li Qing immediately distinguished.
