Volume 16 Chapter 6 Lovesickness Turns to Ashes (10)

Even though he is a grandmaster. But Bi Tong is young, the experience is cold, and he feels that the atmosphere is heavy for no reason, but it is difficult to understand He Louqi's complex mood, hearing the words just subconsciously looking down, but seeing that the dilapidated post city is entrenched in the dark night, even with his eyes that can almost penetrate the candle, he can only vaguely glimpse the general outline, like a dragon and a tiger, invisibly has its own forest momentum, the city gate suddenly opened, but the internal broken tiles and remnants of the ancestors are uneven, as if there is an incomparably dangerous hidden danger, I can't help but be slightly shocked, if it is not for the timely memory of Helian Xingyi to protect the side, Qingping must be safe and sound, almost regret that he should not have left Qingping alone in the city, Rao is so, still feeling uneasy. As soon as he thought of this, Yang Ning was not polite, dragged up the dead branches, and said bluntly: "What the predecessor said is true." Before the words fell, his figure had already swept out of the way, and he was so brilliant that he disappeared into the dark night in a blink of an eye.

Although He Louqi knew that the young couple was inevitably in love, but when he saw Yang Ning so eager, he still shook his head with a smile, just laughed a few times, and a faint sadness just came to his heart, even if his heart was like an iron stone, but he had just recalled the past events of his life, and he couldn't turn around immediately, and inadvertently remembered the past when he met and knew the cold and arrogant woman when he was young, if it weren't for the difference between his family and country, perhaps, they would have a different ending.

I don't know how long it took, until the pupils of his eyes suddenly reflected the rising firelight, He Lou Qifang woke up from his memory, although he could only glimpse the turbulent light and shadow through the cracks in the wooden planks nailed to the window, he could still imagine that the stone house must be warm and bright at this moment, not like this barren mountain and wild mountains, the wind is cold. The cold is biting. With a light sigh, He Louqi walked down the mountain, his pace seemed slow. However, each step has crossed a distance of three or five zhang, as if shrinking into inches, in fact, it is extremely fast, but in dozens of breaths, he has already arrived in front of the door of the stone house, and is about to reach out and lift the door curtain. A crisp and pleasant voice came from his ear: "Zijing, you and He Lou's predecessors both went to look for firewood, didn't you find it dozens of miles away, why did you come back when the fire was extinguished, if it weren't for Brother Helian who knew how to use embers to keep the fire, I was afraid that it would take half a day to raise the bonfire, and ah, you are all back, why haven't you come back yet, haven't you bumped into it, or He Lou's seniors feel that the firewood is not enough to burn for two or three days, so they still have to look for it!"

There is no one else who dares to pick up on himself here, and there is no need to distinguish the voice, He Louqi already knows that it must be Qing Jiang who is complaining, and he shook his head and smiled, and said in his heart, this girl is really tricky and weird. It's hard to think that Zijing, how did this stupid boy get along with her? Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the weasel in his right hand, which was originally when he went down the mountain and accidentally noticed that there was a surge of vitality in the underground soil hole, and in a thought, it took a little time to force it out and kill it, but fortunately, otherwise I don't know how to dispel the suspicion of this girl, after all, the matter of talking to Zijing in secret can only be known by God, the two of them know, fortunately, but it was a cold snort, and the stone house was suddenly silent, He Louqi secretly laughed, there was no trace on his face, and he stepped into the stone house.

The stone house has been cleaned up quite neatly, a bonfire in the center is burning, and there is a copper hanger on the fire, but it is the one that Yang Ning and Qingping brought from the Central Plains, because it is easy to carry, this time He Louqi and his party actually abandoned the usual utensils, of course. Today, the copper hanging is not boiled in tea, but exudes a strong milk fragrance, which is actually a common milk tea on the grassland. There was also a pile of chopped dry firewood next to the bonfire, which was similar in length and thickness, even the best master might not be able to chop the firewood so carefully, He Louqi glanced at it, and saw Helian Xing and Yang Ning standing opposite each other across the pyre, one holding a dagger in his hand, and the other holding a short sword, obviously preparing to continue his efforts, wanting to split the remaining half of the dead wood into the same big except for these two people Qingping was leaning on Lan Jun's shoulder, her pretty face was slightly red and she peeked at each other from time to time, as if she was embarrassed to say bad things behind her back to catch the owner, as for Lan Jun, her face was full of helplessness, but there was a faint doting look in her expression.

Seeing the happy scene of these four people, He Louqi was happy in his heart, but his face was deliberately angry, he snorted coldly again, and threw the weasel in his hand to the bonfire, and said coldly: "Clean it up."

He has always been mighty, but he is easily unwilling to be angry. Now the anger is in the face, whether it is Helian Xing or Lan Jun, they are as silent as a cicada, Helian Xing is also okay, after all, he is calm, but he responds solemnly, stretches out his hand and drags the weasel to the door, wipes the sawdust on the dagger, and uses the fire in the house to disembowel and disembowel the prey, but Lan Jun is anxious, and wants to push Qingping aside and go to serve, but Qingping's delicate body is soft and boneless, as if as long as there is nothing to rely on, he will want to fall into the jade mountain, Lan Jun can't advance or retreat, a pair of blue eyes are cloudy, and she almost wants to cry, but although she is gentle, she is considerate, and she can't bear Qingping's embarrassment, I just hope that Qingping is tired from sitting and going to lie down again, so that I can get out and apologize to the national teacher. Although Lan Jun's thoughts have not been expressed, but He Louqi and He Lianxing's masters and apprentices have experienced the world, so they are naturally insightful, although Qingping is young, she has also been through hardships for a long time, she is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world, and she feels Lan Jun's heart, only to feel that a warm current is surging in her heart, even if she is a naïve and dull person like Yang Ning, because it involves her beloved, it is rare to see through three or four points. Lan Jun's status is humble, but he is an orphan girl in He Louqi's adoption palace, although she is favored, but she is only a slave, this time if it is not for the need for someone to serve her on Qingping Road, the itinerary is urgent He Louqi may not take her with her. However, at this moment, her intentions are extremely admirable and respectable, and she indulges in it. Can I do it for an outsider who actually has nothing to do with it? The Lord who does not hesitate to control his own life and death?

Except for Lan Jun, who was sincerely frightened, the other four people had their own thoughts, but they were all silent, inside and outside the stone house, except for the sound of the whistling wind and the sound of the firewood being burned, there was silence. I don't know how long it took, He Louqi sighed lightly, and said lightly: "That's it, how long do you have to let this seat wait, you are not hungry, but this seat is already hungry!" Even if you don't eat or drink for a few days, you won't be hungry or thirsty, not to mention a master like He Louqi, everyone knows that He Louqi said this, just a step down, but since He Louqi hinted that he would not be investigated for the time being, he naturally had room to turn around, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little easier.

Helian Xing shook his spirits, the dagger in his hand rose and fell, deboned and cut the flesh, and it was loud. Playing the knife fins, but in a moment, a whole weasel was cut into a pile of meat that seemed to be short, thick, and thin, and his technique was ingenious, although it was to decompose the prey, but there was absolutely no blood flowing all over the place, and afterwards he just carried a bucket of water and washed it away, and it was clean. For how to barbecue game, Helian Xing is naturally familiar with the road, looking for a few Tiexuanzi to wear the meat pieces one by one, at this time Yang Ning has already chopped the remaining firewood, seeing this, he took a string of meat pieces, smeared with the salt grains of the flower board, took it back and put it on the fire to smoke it, and turned the iron blade slightly from time to time to make the meat pieces roast evenly, lack of food, although the weasel that has survived most of the winter is not thick and fat, but it is also lean and strong, and the slowly oozing fat flashes a moist light in the firelight, Helian Xing saw that his barbecue skills were stronger than himself, so he simply put on the meat pieces one by one, and handed over the rest to Yang Ning to do, although the two were working together for the first time, but it is also very tacit, and in a short time, the five skewers of meat have been half-cooked. The aroma of meat gradually spreads, mixed with the aroma of milk tea, which is mouth-watering.

The two of them were busy, but Lan Jun only felt restless, she was a maid. Preparing food should have been her job, but Qingping's body became more and more weak, leaning on her and crumbling, so that she couldn't let go, He Louqi was angry, even He Lianxing and the Central Plains boy were trembling, but he couldn't sit tall, even if the national teacher was magnanimous, I was afraid that there would be a dislike for this, if his old man was just punished heavily, it would be okay, if he returned to the palace but expelled himself from his side, what should he do. As long as he thought that from now on, he would no longer be able to serve by the side of the national teacher, Lan Jun's heart was cold, and when he thought of this, he would inevitably feel a little dissatisfied with the culprit Qingping, but she was kind-hearted, even if she was tired of others, she couldn't resent, and she noticed that Qingping's delicate body was gradually cold, and she subconsciously picked up a blanket and draped it on Qingping's body.

Qingping was originally Bing Xue smart, although she was sick at this time, her six senses were even more keen, and when she was leaning on each other, she felt Lan Jun's delicate body trembling from time to time, obviously frightened, but in order to take care of herself, she was reluctant to give up, she and Lan Jun were originally ignorant, and separated from the family and country, Lan Jun was so affectionate and friendly, Qingping couldn't help but feel infinite gratitude in her heart, only to feel that she was heavily guarded, and there was a tendency to collapse.

She has suffered a tragedy since childhood, her biological mother in order to avenge her hatred, and her father died together, this matter has a very far-reaching impact on her, after the death of her parents, she has been displaced, full of warmth and coldness in the world, although there is a righteous sister to love, and there is a teacher Qingjue Mr. to take care of, still developed a cynical and radical temperament, although bold and generous, do not let the eyebrows, and smart, can be eloquent, often between words, you can see people at first sight, but deep down, but in the depths of the heart, there is really hidden a sense of indifference to the world, to the people close to them, of course, it is a piece of sincerity, not hesitating to live and die, if it is replaced by outsiders, no matter how kind and caring, but after all, there is an invisible barrier.

Just like Li Huanyu, even if he bent to please, he only revealed a flaw, and then he found out to Qingping, and then turned his face into an enemy, without the slightest regret, and the rest such as Luo Chengyu and Liao Shuiqing, the former helped when they were in an embarrassing situation, although they disregarded the wishes of the two, but after all, it was a good intention, and the latter took great pains to save her from the poison in her body, although it was to atone for her daughter, but the sincerity of the fist should not be ignored, but just because these two people had some selfish thoughts, they could not get Qingping's trust after all. In fact, if you get to the bottom of it, Yang Ning and Qingping met at the time of tribulation, got along day and night, and fell in love for a long time, of course, because Yang Ning suffered from soul disorder at that time and forgot the past in his life, Qingping took care of him wholeheartedly, so that he could get Yang Ning's dependence and trust, but on the other hand, if it wasn't for Yang Ning at that time who was delirious and ignorant, I am afraid that Qingping would not be close to him without suspicion, let alone this pair of immortal couples who promised life and death.

It's just that Qingping is extremely guarded, but Lan Jun is a rare quality of gold and jade, a pure heart, and even more rare is that the outside is the same, from beginning to end, there has never been half a distraction on Qingping, especially when Qingping is behind his back, offended He Louqi, provoked He Louqi to be angry, and even had the intention of anger, Lan Jun was originally just ordered to take care of Qingping, when this time, it was to leave Qingping to ask He Louqi for apology, which was also a matter of course, but she couldn't bear to let go for Qingping's injury, even if she was a little dissatisfied, she also forbears it, and still tries her best to take care of Qingping, no matter how suspicious Qingping is, she is also convinced of Lan Jun at this moment。 She faintly felt that even if one day He Louqi and her husband and wife turned their faces and asked Lan Jun to kill her, this beautiful bearded girl. Although he will definitely respect the master's orders, he will not use any conspiracy and trickery, but will come to pick a place of affection in a dignified manner. Coming to deceive and plotting is small for Qingping. It's a fool to be a friend or foe. As long as it is above board, it is worthy of her trust.

And since the death of her parents, except for her sister Lu Qi and her lover Yang Ning, Qingping has never been so grateful to trust a person, even if it is the old servant Zhongbo who escaped with his sisters, or the mentor Mr. Qingjue who took his sisters in, and Yi Buping, the master of the Jinfan Association who has not forgotten his old master, and the monk Wuhui who has guarded the tomb of his parents for fifteen years, is also the same. In Qingping's heart, Zhongbo and Wuhui Monk are loyal to their father, and they are just suffering from their father's shadow, if they are not Yin Tianwei's daughter, in the hearts of these two people, they are just grass mustard. As for Yi Buping, although she has received her father's favor, strictly speaking, it is just a loyal transaction, and because of this, she never counted on Yi Buping's promise, and even in order to rescue Yang Ning in Chibi, she did not hesitate to use the secret gold and silver as a reward. Even if it is Mr. Qingjue, Qingping is grateful and respectful, but also has suspicions in his heart, Du Qingjue was originally known about their sisters' background, only to include them in the door, when teaching the arts, and only take a period of time every year to personally instruct, the rest of the time is nowhere to be found Although Xiao Qingping has not moved, but it is inevitable that there will be suspicions, Du Qingjue has left the ghost wing after the lord of Huofeng County was forced to marry into the royal family, if it is said that he is to pass on the art in order to pass on the arts, why is he in a hurry, never stay in the cave for a long time, if he is to recruit talents for the ghost wing, why did he not introduce his sisters to the pastIt is precisely because of this insoluble doubt that Qingping can't fully trust this teacher, for this teacher, he has lost his life, and he just repays the master-apprentice relationship, but if Du Qingjue wants to use his sister to do something, Qingping is determined not to let him succeed, and the reason, Qingping is willing to challenge Yan Zishuang for her teacher, at the cost of life and death, but refuses to follow Luo Chengyu to the north, in addition to worrying about Zijing's safety, another reason is that Qingping has never really believed in Du Qingjue in her heart, in this case, how can she be willing to enter the greedy cage and not be free。 In addition to these people, if you talk about what you do, Lan Jun serves personally, although he does his best, but he may not be able to match the kindness of Pingyan Wanli, and one is a maid of Qingtian Palace, who is in Xia Chen, and the other is a descendant of Cuihu, and his swordsmanship is extraordinary. However, in Qingping's heart, even if Pingyan was respectful and noble, it was not purely for herself, she was either for the sake of her confidant relationship with Yang Ning, or she was dissatisfied with Cuihu's perverse behavior, or just because of her uneasy conscience, after all, the main reason why Qingping fell into the hands of Li Huanyu that day was that she led Zijing away, but she was not like Lan Jun, risking disobeying the Lord's will, and she refused to abandon herself. Such sincerity, no distractions, love is becoming more and more rare, for Pingyan, Qingping is grateful and admired, and even endures jealousy, begging Pingyan to persuade Yang Ning not to be martyred, but if it is about affection and trust, in Qingping's heart, it is Lan Jun who is better.

Qingping was originally willing to die and live for the sake of her loved ones, but now looking at Lan Jun uneasy, she naturally couldn't bear her worry and fear, with her ice and snow cleverness, she had already found that He Louqi seemed to be angry, but in fact she was very angry, and according to her judgment, she was afraid that He Louqi would most of praise Lan Jun's actions, and Lan Jun would be able to be blessed by misfortune, but she didn't want Lan Jun to suffer the slightest grievance, she was frightened, her mind moved, and she had already made up her mind, and she caught a glimpse of the milk tea had been cooked, the mist was steaming, and the milk fragrance was overflowing, and she suddenly stood up, Lan Jun was caught off guard, and was about to step forward to mix, but she gently pushed it away, walked to the edge of the bonfire, and personally filled a bowl of milk tea, Holding it in both hands in front of He Louqi, Ying Ying bowed and said: "Seniors, they are all little women who are stubborn and messing around, which makes your old people unhappy, please drink this cup of tea and forgive the juniors!"

He Louqi glanced at Qingping deeply, and couldn't help but turn back and forth in his heart, he promised to detoxify Qingping, firstly, because Zijing was his own nephew, and secondly, he also sympathized with the same disease, but after getting along for a long time, he found that this girl was quite different. If others come to seek medical treatment, they must be respectful, lest they offend the person who saves their lives, but Qingping is unwilling to accept the slightest grievance, sharp teeth, unscrupulous, even in front of himself, he is more than respectful, and he is not obedient enough, not like he came to seek medical treatment, but as if he was begged to be a guest. Despite this, He Louqi did not have any dissatisfaction because of this, he is a generation of grandmasters, he has seen different customs, but he feels that Qingping is arrogant and natural, and he is compatible with Zijing, and it is precisely because of this that he never imagined that Qingping was willing to put down his body and apologize to himself for a Hu girl who has not known him for a long time, the more he has seen this girl's arrogance and pampering in the past, the more he feels that this move is rare and valuable, that is, He Louqi deliberately played tricks, and also changed his mind, reached out to take the milk tea, and smiled slightly: "That's it, don't be rude in the future!" As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed, Xiao He Lianxing and Lan Jun were relieved, but Yang Ning also felt relaxed, but Qingping secretly pouted and said in her heart, if it wasn't for Sister Lan Jun. I will not bow my knee to you.

He Louqi slowly drank a bowl of milk tea, Yang Ning had already roasted the meat, He Lianxing personally took a string and gave it to his teacher, Yang Ning was the first to send it to his beloved wife, Lan Jun had free time, and hurriedly poured a bowl of milk tea for everyone, especially a bowl to He Louqi with his own hands, He Louqi was also happy to take it, this time, although the cold wind outside the house was biting, through the felt gaps on the doors and windows, but everyone felt warm, in the burrow, than if the spring in March, I forgot that it was still the midwinter season full of ice and snow.
