"Of course I was the one who poisoned me. The strange man put the sword back on the table and turned to the bed, "But I didn't expect the next two things. ”

He said frankly:

"First of all, I just wanted to test your transformation, but I didn't expect that the poison of the immortal soul was really broken by you. ”

“...... What about the second thing?"

"That is, I didn't expect that you would fight against the powerhouse of the junior level of the giant gate. It was my fault, and I hope forgiveness. The strange man actually apologized to Ling Qianshan in a serious manner, and the sword behind him seemed to be guilty, and his attitude was extremely sincere.

But that's ridiculous in itself.

The person who wants to kill says sorry to the person who was killed because the way of killing is different from what was expected.

Where in the world is there such a funny sorry.

Ling Qianshan stared at the strange man vigilantly, considering the possibility of escaping from the house to call for help or taking the opportunity to sneak attack. However, the position where the other party was standing blocked Ling Qianshan's escape route intentionally or unintentionally.

As for the sneak attack, Ling Qianshan was seriously injured and had not yet recovered from his bones, and the only long sword he could rely on was placed on the table, of course he knew that it was just a way to kill himself if he made a rash move.

"It's a whole set of interlocking mistakes. I poisoned the white rabbit, I just want to put it on you, but I don't want to be eaten by the white wolf. In order to detoxify the white wolf, you are forced to break into the Ling family's house to receive VIPs, and as a result, you are confronted by the prince's guards, and the situation has come to this point. ”

The strange man's tone was full of regret, and he seemed to marvel at Ling Qianshan's experience.

It's amazing.

"But you're still going to kill me?" Ling Qianshan asked exactly, looking at the strange man.

"That's right, you must die at my hands, and you used all your tricks to rack your brains until you were completely desperate, and you died without regret. Only like this can be done, and this is worthy of the death of the young master of the Ling family. So I hereby inform you. ”

"Three days later, in that woods, I was waiting for you there. You can escape from the city, or you can hide in Lingfu, but I hope we agree that if you are willing to go to the appointment, please come alone. ”

Three days.

Judging from Ling Qianshan's injuries and the speed of recovery with the help of elixir, his healing time happened to be three days.

is in line with what the strange man said, to let Ling Qianshan die without regrets.

"But why? Why are you doing this?"

The answer to this question is something you can only know if you go. ”

Eager footsteps rang out outside the door.

The strange ghost chuckled, pushed open the window like a ghost, and disappeared in an instant.

Only the half-open and half-closed windows were left in the wind.

At the same time, Ling Meixiang hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.

"Are you alright, how is your health?" she sat on the edge of the bed worriedly, holding Ling Qianshan's hand, as if she was unaware of the whispers of Xiu'er and the maid behind her.

"It's fine. Ling Qianshan looked out the window at the spring color, and there was no one there.

He slowly but resolutely withdrew his hand: "There are some things, can you talk about them alone?"

"Xiu'er, you take them down first. Ling Meixiang waved their hand to let them exit the room, she looked at Ling Qianshan blankly, "What are you going to say?"

Today's Ling Meixiang is wearing a jade-colored crepe skirt, and you can vaguely see the light green mandarin duck belt, and you can see a large area of clotted fresh snow from her chest condescendingly, so that Ling Qianshan's eyes don't know where to put it.

But the uneasiness and worry in her moist eyes made Ling Qianshan make up her mind.

"Actually, I should have said it a long time ago. Ling Qianshan pretended to be an understatement and said, "I'm leaving." ”

“...... Where are you going?"

"I haven't figured out exactly where it is, but it's time for me to get out of Luzhou City and take a look outside. ”

This is not a whim of Ling Qianshan, assuming that it is not the poisoning of the white wolf, I am afraid that now he is already outside the city, going straight to Xichuan Road or Guangnan Road, looking for immortals and asking, seeking fate and praising the law, and exploring whether there is a way to change his life against the sky.

Otherwise, no matter how many martial arts classics he has read, staying in Luzhou City to survive, he can only pay for it.

"Sister Ling, thank you for the past three years......"

Ling Qianshan's words were not finished.

Ling Meixiang stretched out her slender white fingers and pressed them against his lips.

"I know. Just like our Ling family is destined to belong to businessmen, you belong to the rivers and lakes. ”

You can feel her trembling in the emotions conveyed by her fingers.

"However, I also have my right to help you. I will distribute your portrait to all the shops that cooperate with the Ling family, and when the time comes, please don't refuse their kindness. Ling Meixiang smiled lightly.

"I see. Ling Qianshan got out of bed with difficulty and took what belonged to him.

A shiny scrap book, a sword sharpened like clay, and a beast's tooth as a decoration. These are all his belongings.

Ling Qianshan used the long sword as a crutch and walked weakly towards the door, while Ling Meixiang just sat on the bed, silent.

Until Ling Qianshan stood at the door.

He kept holding back a sentence to ask, but he still didn't understand in the end.

"Now, Sister Ling, can I ask one thing?"

"You say. ”

"Why—you're going to be so nice to me?" Ling Qianshan turned his back to Ling Meixiang, he didn't look back, he just said to himself, "I know it's ridiculous, despicable, and stupid to ask such a thing, but I really want to know." Dou Mi Ensheng Mi Qiu, Sister Ling, your care for me is too precious. ”

"Just helping me investigate the truth about Bloody Night makes me grateful. ”

"At the most difficult time, I bought the land of the Ling family and let me live in it. ”

"The ban on the Ling family has allowed me to live and not die at the hands of Xiaoxiao. ”

The same is the same, Ling Qianshan is silently remembered in his heart. It felt particularly heavy when it came out of his mouth.

"It's an investment. Ling Meixiang replied briskly behind her back.

She kicked off her shoes, sat on the bed and bent her legs, revealing her white slender feet, folded her hands around her knees and leaned back slightly, lazily tilting her head to look at Ling Qianshan's back.

"My father said that only a third-rate businessman would throw all his bets into it, but I think the icing on the cake is far less than the charcoal in the snow. You deserve my investment. ”

"Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, the Lingling family has long been inseparable. For the sake of the dignity of the Ling family, it is not a matter of course that outsiders cannot be allowed to humiliate the Ling family at will?"

"I'll do my best to make sure your investment isn't in vain. Ling Qianshan whispered.

He walked out of the room anyway.

Only Ling Meixiang whispered quietly, leaving no one in the room.

"You're - what a fool. ”

Many people ignore the experiences of childhood, because the wider the world they are exposed to, the smaller they once seemed to be.

So some people will think that childhood will slowly fade in the face of reality, and everything will be forgotten.

Sometimes, it's right, or hopefully it's right, but sometimes, it's wrong.

Character, personality, and even the essence of the whole thing, as early as the moment when I was a young butterfly, I had already ingrained something in my heart.

For Ling Meixiang, everything became fate in the face of that fire.

Probably even Ling Qianshan has forgotten how they managed to sneak into the armory. It was she who proposed to go and see, which was a surprising adventure for the pearl of the big family's palm. He agreed, and the two fooled their respective companions, successfully bypassing the guards and infiltrating the back of the armory.

Then, with a red face, she said she wanted to be relieved.

Ling Qianshan was naturally embarrassed to dodge, but this was just her excuse, she had long wanted to see the "fire-eyed crow" described in the book with her own eyes. When she got the firearm in her hand, she accidentally touched the trigger, causing the entire armory to be blown up into the sky.

Fortunately, Ling Qianshan, who rushed over from Xunsheng, noticed her abnormal movement and dragged her behind the iron shelf in the warehouse, hiding safely. On the contrary, after seeing the fire, he desperately tried to save his companion, and was seriously injured in the fire.

By the time he dragged her out of the back of the armory, her mind was almost blank, and she didn't know what to do.

Ling Qianshan asked her to stay in the middle of nowhere, then turned around and walked out into the street.

Ling Meixiang stood alone in the corner of the alley, thinking wildly, not knowing how to end this matter.

"Don't worry," Ling Qianshan went for a short time, and came back after a while, he still held a string of beautiful sugar gourds in his dirty hands, and handed it to Ling Meixiang, "I called someone just now, and they are putting out the fire." Now, here you go, the peddler has to make a fortune this time, but I took the treasure jade that my father stuffed into me in exchange for this. ”

Ling Meixiang took the sugar gourd at a loss.

"God knows this, you know and I know, and no third person will know. Ling Qianshan wiped the ashes off his face with the back of his hand and gave her a thumbs up, "Don't worry, I won't leave you." ”

"What?"

Is it because we're friends?

Or is it because of that marriage letter?

But Ling Qianshan's answer was completely beyond Ling Meixiang's expectations.

"Needless to say, we are accomplices!" Ling Qianshan said in a very dashing manner.

Accomplice.

This word made Ling Meixiang seem to return to her soul, and there was spirit in her eyes again.

Ling Meixiang nodded heavily, ignoring the ashes on her face, and began to eat the sugar gourd in a big gulp.

Adults passing by the alley can't help but look at the two of them.

The boy in Tsing Yi, who was covered in dust, smiled and looked at the same dirty red-shirted girl eating sugar gourd, and the two smiled from time to time, and the refreshing and clean smiling face was intertwined with the coquettish laughter, shining in the dark.

This past is deeply engraved in Ling Meixiang's heart.

It's not because he saved her, and it's not because of the string of sugar gourds worth a thousand gold.

Just because of the phrase "accomplice." ”

She never forgot that accomplice.

So when the bloody night came, the waves rushed by, and the situation was irreparable, what Ling Meixiang could do was to do her best to protect him, which had nothing to do with the marriage contract, nothing to do with childhood sweethearts, and nothing to do with each other's family background.

Mere accomplices.

But Ling Meixiang will never say it for the rest of her life, she will treat this past like the most precious treasure in the world, and hide it in her heart.

At least, that's what she thinks now, and she's willing to pay any price for such an idea.

So she just hugged her knees, curled up and sat down on the bed, silently looking at the back of the departing teenager.

The sun fell on her, reflecting the silhouette on the wall......

It's like a girl standing alone on the corner of the alley that day, waiting for her companions to come back.
