Chapter 1: Difficult Choices

"In the next life, I will protect you!"

"Leave me alone, take my son and go first......"

"Commandment, you must kill him to avenge your father!"

"Manly man sheds blood without tears, get up and continue to practice!"

"My name is Tang Zixi, what's your name?"

"In the future, my green sparrow will be handed over to you!"

"Is your mother's life important, or is it the life of an outsider?"

"Little prince, you must not be kind to a woman, and miss a big thing for a woman......"

......

Su Jing woke up from his dream with a loud scream, and a cool breeze blew, only to realize that his back was already covered in cold sweat.

At this time, it was evening, the sun had not yet set, the golden sunlight shone warmly on his body, and even the haze that filled his heart seemed to be dispelled a lot, and he finally felt better.

Suddenly, he reacted, and hurriedly touched his face with his hand, but he didn't feel the familiar coldness, only the cotton cloth that covered his cheeks.

"Don't move!" At this moment, a cold woman's voice sounded nearby, "I finally managed to get it right." ”

Su Jing heard the other party's voice, didn't pull the cotton cloth again, and took back the palm that was ready to go, and hissed: "Thank you Miss Diao for coming to the rescue!"

The woman was dressed in white, and the same snow-white light veil covered her beautiful face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes, and her temperament was as cold as a fairy out of the dust, it was Diao Li.

At this time, she was holding a book in one hand and glancing at it from time to time, while the other hand kept grabbing the medicinal herbs next to her and throwing them into the bubbling crockpot in front of her.

Diao Li heard that his hand did not stop, and replied in his mouth: "It's just a coincidence!" But Su Gongzi is really determined, and he can jump on such a high cliff. I don't know what makes you think about it so much, you have to seek death?"

"Hmm!" However, Su Jing's mind was not here at all, his eyes only looked around, and he saw the green trees and the sparkling lake in front of him, where there were other people.

"Don't worry, she's fine. Diao Li obviously knew what he was looking for, and said empathetically, "And I woke up three days ago, and I followed Ning'er out to collect medicine at this time, and I will be back soon." ”

"That's good!" Su Jing relieved himself, then reacted, and frowned, "Three days ago, did I sleep for a long time?"

"It's not a long ......time," Diao Li said as he got up and walked to another fire, lifted the lid of the crockpot and looked at it, then scooped a little medicinal juice with a slender wooden spoon and tasted it to his mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's almost half a month!"

Su Jing was stunned when he heard this, couldn't it be just ten days? How did he think it was just what happened yesterday.

He only vaguely remembered that shortly after he jumped off the cliff, he was shot in the head by a branch sticking out of the cliff, and he fainted instantly. And the moment he fainted, he seemed to hear a very familiar crane chirping. Now that he saw Diao Li in white clothes, he was sure that he had heard correctly.

"The little girl wasn't hurt, but she was suddenly stimulated and didn't come up in one breath, so she was in a state of suspended animation, and it was good for her to let out that breath. It's you who is in trouble, you are vicious and have serious internal injuries, but fortunately you met me......" Diao Li poured the medicinal juice from the clay pot into a coarse porcelain bowl, brought it to Su Jing, and said, "Drink it!"

"Thank you, girl!" Su Jing didn't say a word, and directly took the medicine bowl and drank it all.

Seeing that the other party drank the medicinal juice without the slightest hesitation, Diao Li's bright eyes showed a hint of a smile, and he lowered his head slightly and said: "When did Su Gongzi and I meet each other like this? When I was in the Snow Mountain, you and I were ......."

Su Jing's body stiffened slightly, and he turned his head a little unnaturally.

Diao Li didn't speak, just looked at him intently.

The atmosphere is very subtle.

"Sister, sister, what do you think I've caught?"

At this moment, an excited voice came from afar.

Diao Li suddenly approached Su Jing's face and said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it later." After speaking, he didn't look at his reaction, stood up and smiled at the young man who was running wildly, "Slow down, beware of falling!"

Tang Ning shook the prey in his hand desperately, and said with a smug face: "Look! The fat and big pheasant finally doesn't have to gnaw dry cakes tonight." Haha!"

Diao Li took the pheasant, lightly knocked it on his head, and said, "Such an adult is still frizzy, and he is not afraid of being rude." ”

Tang Ning, who was running with a flushed face, said nonchalantly: "What's the rudeness? There's no one else here, huh-" He suddenly found Su Jing leaning on the side of the tree trunk, and said strangely, "Are you awake?"

Su Jing nodded and said, "Yes, I'm awake!

"Who is Xiao Xi?" Oh, you said that little girl?" Tang Ning looked back, scratched his head, and was obviously a little puzzled: "Didn't she come back?" I knew that my sister was in a hurry, so I asked her to carry the medicine basket back first. ”

Su Jinghuo stood up and said, "How long ago did you go?"

Tang Ning was taken aback by his sudden movements, and timidly pointed in a certain direction, and said, "We went up the mountain from over there, and after collecting the medicine, I will let her come back first." About half an hour ago, she broke up in that position, she probably ...... "Before she finished speaking, she felt a flower in front of her, and the man in front of her was gone."

He looked at the figure that quickly disappeared into the forest and praised: "Brother Su is so fast!"

"Where can the senior disciples of Gongsun get there. Diao Li's voice sounded faintly.

Tang Ning turned his head in surprise, looked at Diao Li, who was also looking at Su Jing, and asked, "Who is Gongsun's senior? Is he very powerful?

Diao Li shook his head and didn't speak, but pointed to the pheasant on the ground and said, "Go wash it and make you fragrant chicken at night." ”

As soon as he heard the words 'Piaoxiang Chicken', Tang Ning's saliva immediately fell, and instantly forgot the 'Gongsun senior' outside the clouds, and the chicken nodded like a peck of rice: "I'll go!" After speaking, the pheasant flew and ran towards the lake, and the happy appearance saw Diao Li couldn't help laughing, and felt a little comfort in his heart.

Su Jing flew through the jungle at lightning speed, startling the small animals along the way. It was only when he ran into the depths of the jungle that he found the slender figure in front of an ancient tree that had fallen to the ground, and a medicine basket full of herbs next to it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Zixi didn't look back when he heard the movement behind him, but still focused on the things in front of him.

Su Jing felt strange in his heart, and when he walked up to him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It turned out that there was a fluffy animal cub lying on his stomach in front of Tang Zixi, who seemed to have just been born, and his eyes had not even been fully opened, and he occasionally opened his pink mouth and called out, which looked very soft and cute.

"It's cute, isn't it?" Tang Zixi said suddenly.

Su Jing nodded and said, "Hmm!"

Hearing this voice, Tang Zixi turned his head, saw the man standing behind him, smiled, and said, "Brother Jing, it turned out to be you." I thought it was Tang Ning. ”

Seeing Tang Zixi again, Su Jing suddenly had a strange feeling, he always felt that the other party was different, but he couldn't tell where it was, and said, "It's getting dark, let's go back." ”

"Okay!" Tang Zixi nodded and gently picked up the little leopard.

As soon as Su Jing lifted the medicine basket, he suddenly felt a killing force on the side, and without thinking about it, he casually broke off a branch and shot it over.

"Don't!" Tang Zixi couldn't help but exclaim, but unfortunately it was too late, and the branch had already penetrated the head of the female leopard who was caring for the child.

The female leopard barely raised her eyelids to look at the cub in Tang Zixi's arms, and let out an unwilling scream.

Only then did the two realize that the female leopard's body was covered with deep scars that could be seen in the bones, and it looked like it had been through a fierce fight before. However, its fatal wound is not on the back, but in the abdomen.

It turned out that there was a big hole in its stomach, and its steaming internal organs were flowing all over the ground, so even if Su Jing didn't shoot out that branch, it wouldn't live long. Beside it lay several equally fluffy leopards, limbs stiffly curled, apparently long dead.

Tang Zixi put the cub in his arms on the ground, and the cub smelled the scent of the female leopard and called to crawl towards the female leopard.

The female leopard struggled for a while, but she couldn't lift her paws at all, looking at the young leopard waiting to be fed, a teardrop the size of a bean suddenly rolled out of the corner of her eyes, and her wet eyes looked at the girl squatting in front of her sadly.

Tang Zixi bit his lip and silently looked at the mother and son who were struggling on the verge of death, with a look of struggle in his eyes.

The she-leopard finally closed her eyes and went off with endless worries about her cubs.

Tang Zixi looked at the little leopard who kept arching the front paws of the female leopard and begging for caresses, and suddenly took out a dagger from his arms.

Su Jing was shocked when he saw this, and said, "What are you going to do?"

Tang Zixi said coldly: "Its mother is dead, this little leopard has no ability to survive at all, and it won't live long in the world if it is left, so it is better to go clean together." ”

Su Jing looked at the girl who seemed to have changed into a person in disbelief, and didn't say anything for a long time. just grabbed her wrist at the moment when the other party suddenly inserted the dagger, shook his head and said, "You will regret it!"

"Why should I regret it?" Tang Zixi turned his head suddenly, his eyes that became red at some point stared at Su Jing, and said viciously, "I'm doing this for its good." You let go!"

Su Jing stubbornly grabbed her wrist and said in an accentuated tone: "You will regret it!"

Tang Zixi shook off his hand vigorously and said sharply, "I won't!" After speaking, he stabbed into the soft body of the little leopard without hesitation.
