Chu Ping stepped forward and saw Shui Lingyu sitting on the ground, kept kneading her ankles, squatted down, and said with concern: "Lingyu, what's wrong with you?

"Hmm!" Shui Lingyu nodded while rubbing her ankle and said, "It's all my fault that I was careless and sprained my foot." ”

Chu Ping sighed and said, "Oh, how is this good?" He looked up at Shui Lingyu and said, "Miss Lingyu, if you don't mind, I will heal you below, do you think it's okay?"

Shui Lingyu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, there is Brother Lao Chuping." ”

Chu Ping gently lifted Shui Lingyu's injured left foot, slowly took off her shoes and socks, and saw that the soles of Shui Lingyu's feet had a lot of blisters, and he suddenly felt excited in his heart, and tears poured outward, but he was forced to hold back.

looked up at Shui Lingyu and said, "Lingyu, you are too careless, look at your own ankles, what are they swollen into?"

Shui Lingyu smiled shyly and said, "It's okay, it's not very painful." ”

Chu Ping examined it carefully, smiled comfortably, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't sprain my bones, but I was a little bruised." Chu Ping closed his eyes and concentrated, condensed his true qi in his palm, and gently put his hand on Shui Lingyu's injured ankle, Shui Lingyu only felt a trace of coldness. Soon, Chu Ping looked at Shui Lingyu and said with a smile: "Lingyu, get up and try it, can you walk?"

Shui Lingyu slowly stood up and reluctantly tried, but still felt some pain. Chu Ping shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that the situation is still not very good, but now it is almost dark, and if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that I will really have to sleep in the wilderness." Why don't you do this, Lingyu, if you don't mind, I'll carry you, what's the matter?"

Shui Lingyu nodded again and again and smiled: "Well, okay! It's just that I'm afraid that Lingyu and I are too heavy, and I will exhaust you, Brother Chu Ping." ”

Chu Ping smiled and said: "Silly girl, look at what you said, is it possible that in your eyes, I, Chu Ping, am I so weak?" Come, Lingyu, I will hold my burden and sword by you first!"

Shui Lingyu took Chu Ping's burden and sword, and gently lay on Chu Ping's back, Chu Ping used a little force, then picked Shui Lingyu on his back, and walked towards the small town a few miles away, along the way, Shui Lingyu's heart was very happy.

When he came to the town, Chu Ping walked into a medical hall with Shui Lingyu on his back, put Shui Lingyu on a stool and sat down, and then greeted the doctor sitting in the hall: "Doctor, this girl's foot is sprained, can you please heal her?"

"Oh! okay!" came to him, the doctor carefully examined Shui Lingyu, and said with a smile: "Young man, please rest assured, this girl's foot injury is not serious, just a little bruised, as long as you put on a plaster from the old man, and rest well for another night, it will be fine tomorrow!"

"Thank you, doctor!" Chu Ping thanked the doctor, and when the doctor applied the medicine for Shui Lingyu, paid the silver taels, and left the hospital with Shui Lingyu on his back.

When he came to an inn and asked for two guest rooms, Chu Ping first set Shui Lingyu up, and was about to go back to his room, but Shui Lingyu stopped him: "Brother Chu Ping, it's still early, I can't sleep, can you sit down and accompany me?"

Chu Ping looked back at Shui Lingyu, smiled and said, "Okay then, but it's not too late, we have to hurry tomorrow!"

"Well, I know that. Shui Lingyu smiled with satisfaction.

Chu Ping sat down in front of Shui Lingyu and chatted with her until Shui Lingyu was a little sleepy, and then went back to his room. This night, Chu Ping had insomnia again, and kept looking at the roof and smirking, and Shui Lingyu didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, Shui Lingyu's feet finally stopped hurting, and the two came to the suburbs hand in hand, Chu Ping said to Shui Lingyu: "Lingyu, there are more than 1,500 miles from here to Tongyuan, if you go on like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach it in a month." ”

Shui Lingyu was quite worried, and said, "What?

Chu Ping smiled and said, "Lingyu, don't get me wrong, since I have answered you, how can I break my promise? I want to use the sword technique to carry you, although it is not as fast as my own sword flying, but it is far better than walking slowly like this." It's just, I'm afraid you'll be scared. ”

Shui Lingyu clapped her hands in surprise and said with a smile: "Great! Brother Chu Ping, don't worry, as long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything." ”

"That's good!" Chu Ping put the sword on the ground, and the two of them stood on it in front and back, Chu Ping said: "Lingyu, remember, after you fly up for a while, you must hug me tightly, otherwise, if you accidentally fall from it, it will not be a joke." ”

Shui Lingyu nodded and said with a smile: "Well, Brother Chu Ping, don't worry, I will definitely hold you tight." ”

"Well, that's good. Chu Ping was in a hurry to think about his thoughts, and secretly thought about his heart, only to see a "whoosh", and the sword carried the two of them out instantly, so frightened that Shui Lingyu immediately closed her eyes, and her face was tightly pressed against Chu Ping's back. When she opened her eyes again, she couldn't help but be stunned, only to see the white clouds beside her, and the mountains at her feet.

Shui Lingyu exclaimed excitedly: "Wow! Great, Brother Chu Ping, I'm not dreaming, I'm actually flying in the sky! Hey...... , Brother Chu Ping, look, look at the mountains in the clouds, how beautiful!" This excitement was not tight, Shui Lingyu actually spread her hand and almost fell headlong, fortunately Chu Ping stretched out his left hand backwards and grabbed her, otherwise, Shui Lingyu might not even have time to cry, so scared that she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Chu Ping scolded: "Lingyu, how did you do it? Didn't I tell you just now, you must hug me tightly, you look at you just now, fortunately, this is a thrill, otherwise, you don't even know how you died." Also, from now on, don't talk to me anymore, lest I be distracted, and if one accidentally falls down, and my death is a trivial matter, if even one of your girls' family is killed, then I will become a sinner for the ages, you know?"

Shui Lingyu said softly in shame: "Oh! I know, Brother Chu Ping, I promise not to mess around again." ”

Along the way, Shui Lingyu was really a lot more honest, except for watching the surrounding scenery, her hands never moved again, and she didn't say a word more, Chu Ping was secretly happy: "This girl, being scared by me like this, is really a lot more honest." ”

I don't know how long it took, Chu Ping suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound, Chu Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Lingyu, do you feel a little hungry now?"

Shui Lingyu said shyly: "I'm sorry, Brother Chu Ping, I didn't expect to be heard by you." Yes, I didn't eat breakfast in the morning, so now, my stomach is really hungry. ”

Chu Ping smiled and said, "Okay, after such a long journey, I think you are also a little tired, since you are hungry, then let's go down first, find a place to eat, and then have a good rest." ”

"Okay!" said Shui Lingyu with a smile.

After landing, Shui Lingyu stretched her body and smiled excitedly: "Great, I can finally take a good rest." Brother Chu Ping, although this imperial sword is fun, it has been flying for a long time, and it is indeed quite tired and panicked. ”

Chu Ping glanced around, and whispered "shh ”

Shui Lingyu whispered playfully at Chu Ping: "Brother Chu Ping, even if I don't say it, because of your outfit and your outfit, I think they will guess that they will not leave ten!"

Chu Ping scratched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, is it possible, do I have to change my dress?"

Shui Lingyu explained: "Brother Chu Ping, you don't have to be like this. If you think about it, what are you learning things for, aren't you just using them? If you are always afraid of being known, and you are always hiding them, then why are you learning this thing, it is better not to learn it! Besides, Brother Chu Ping, you are a generous, benevolent, and righteous hero, if you let the world know that you use the Taoist skills of your Tianshan Sect to benefit the people of the world, then for your Tianshan Sect, isn't it also beneficial and harmless?"

Chu Ping thought about it carefully and said, "Lingyu, what you said seems to be very reasonable!"

Shui Lingyu smiled: "Alas, what does it seem to make sense, it is very reasonable." Okay, Brother Chu Ping, let's not talk about these things first, okay, people, people's stomachs are so hungry! Brother Chu Ping!"

Chu Ping smiled and said, "That's right...... , look at my pig brain, I actually forgot such an important thing. Looking around, he saw a noodle restaurant not far away, and said to Shui Lingyu: "Lingyu, look, there is a noodle restaurant there, why don't we go there to eat noodles?"

"Hmm!let's go!" Shui Lingyu nodded and smiled.

The two entered the noodle restaurant and asked for two large bowls of beef noodles, because the meal had passed, there were not many people in the noodle restaurant, and the noodles were quickly served. Shui Lingyu was really hungry, and she didn't pay attention to the image of a lady, so she actually gobbled it up, Chu Ping looked at her eating appearance, and couldn't help laughing, Shui Lingyu didn't care, raised her head and looked at Chu Ping, smiled slightly, and continued to eat noodles. The two chatted while eating, so comfortable.

After eating, the account will be posted, the two found an inn to stay for one night, and continued to march towards Tongyuan County the next day.

In this way, on the afternoon of the third day, the two finally arrived at Tongyuan County. Shui Lingyu couldn't help but smile in surprise: "Brother Chu Ping, I never dreamed that it would be more than 1,500 miles away, and it would take three days to arrive." You know, it took me a month to travel desperately, and I only walked a thousand miles, which is incredible!"

Chu Ping held her shoulders and said, "That's why your feet have so many blisters, right?"

Hearing him say this, Shui Lingyu lowered her head shyly and said softly: "It turns out, you have seen it!"

Chu Ping said excitedly: "Of course, of course I saw it all. Lingyu, listen, you have suffered too much in the past, and from now on, as long as I am here, I will never let you be wronged again. ”

Shui Lingyu nodded and said, "Brother Chu Ping, I believe in you!" couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him, shedding a few fragrant tears excitedly.

It was getting late, and the two came to the Dongfu Inn to settle down. I didn't want to just enter the inn, but the innkeeper greeted me warmly and greeted: "Ouch, Chu Daxia, you are finally back again, welcome, welcome! Daxia, please rest assured, you can stay as long as you want, as for this fee, I will give you a discount, what?"

Chu Ping said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Sun, you are too polite, let's treat it equally, I will pay as much as others pay, you don't have to treat me differently." ”

Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Huh, what is it? You have made a great contribution to the removal of that evil thief in our Tongyuan County, if I still accept your full payment, then won't I teach the neighbors to poke my old grandson's backbone in the back? So, Chu Daxia, you will listen to me." ”

Chu Ping clasped his hands into fists and said, "Since this is the case, then I will thank the shopkeeper." ”

Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the two of you are upstairs, please, later, I will teach the second child to make a pot of good tea for the two of you." ”

"Thank you!" Chu Ping thanked him, took Shui Lingyu's jade hand, and went upstairs directly. Entering the room, Shui Lingyu asked Chu Ping with doubts: "Brother Chu Ping, what the hell is going on? How do I feel that you and the shopkeeper Sun seem to be quite familiar! Also, what is the matter with the evil thief he said?"

Chu Ping sighed helplessly, and then told Shui Lingyu about all the evil deeds committed by his junior brother Wang Hui. After hearing this, Shui Lingyu couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, I didn't expect that the dignified Tianshan Sect would have such a treacherous villain." Brother Chu Ping, I don't understand, you and him were taught by the same master, why is there such a big difference?"

Chu Ping sighed and said: "I think, it still lies in human nature, my sixteenth junior brother has a withdrawn personality and low self-esteem since he was a child, and he has always thought that he is inferior to others, but he always thinks that others look down on him, which may have led to his dissatisfaction with the world, otherwise, before he died, how could he say to me that he did all this because we forced him to do it? and said that the reason why he did this was to avenge the world's discrimination against him!"

"Hmph, I think he's a pervert!" Shui Lingyu said angrily, with little effort, but she turned her face and laughed again, and said: "Brother Chu Ping, but I think this kid has also done a good thing indirectly, if it weren't for him, how would you return to Tianshan, if you don't go back to Tianshan, how can I find you so quickly?"

Hearing her say this, Chu Ping laughed instead: "You girl, you can think of such a logical way, cough! ”

Shui Lingyu smiled: "Okay, Brother Chu Ping, let's not talk about these unpleasant things." Brother Chu Ping, I don't know if you noticed, just now on the street, I saw colorful lanterns hanging everywhere!"

"Is there such a thing, what's wrong? Is there anything strange about this?" Chu Ping asked.

Hearing him say this, Shui Lingyu frowned slightly, pursed her small mouth, and counted Chu Ping: "Brother Chu Ping, you really don't understand the things of the world! Let me tell you, there is a lantern festival in Tongyuan County today, understand?"

Chu Ping said with a little understanding: "Oh! I understand, Lingyu, you want to let me accompany you to the Lantern Festival at night, no problem!"

Shui Lingyu was very happy, and said with a smile: "Really, Brother Chu Ping, you are so good, I know that you will definitely agree to me." I couldn't help but lean forward and kiss him, looked at him shyly, smiled and laughed, Chu Ping was stunned, I didn't know what to say! The two looked at each other and smiled, and didn't say much, just waiting until the evening to go to the lantern festival and look at the lanterns.

However, what Shui Lingyu didn't expect was that at the night lantern festival, there would be a disturbing thing that happened to her. I don't know what it is?
