Chapter 24 (28)
Dark Night said, "You won't understand. The strong will have a sense of awe in their hearts for the divine weapons, and they will also have the greed to take them for themselves. In order to obtain the ancient sword, he can become unrecognized, so that his former lover will also be a victim of his ambition......"
What he said was that Jiang Yanchen killed Chu Menglin, Nangong Xue heard it half-understood, thinking that in ancient times, the swordsmith did not hesitate to sacrifice his wife and children in order to forge an incomparable peerless sword, although this matter was extremely cruel, but he couldn't understand why the dark night died so angry, with his ordinary personality, he didn't seem to be able to avenge the injustice of the innocent.
But seeing that his expression was serious, there seemed to be bloodshot in his eyes, and he didn't dare to joke, and said: "That's terrible, fortunately, this sword didn't fall into the hands of careerists, I will take good care of it." But the premise is that it is really a sharp blade that sharpens iron like clay, so it will not be too tiring to cut trees with it. He swung his sword, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, slashed it at his side for half a circle, and slashed at the trunk of the tree. She didn't have enough internal strength, so she only cut a gap in the trunk, but she couldn't try to perform the chic "one knife and two cuts".
Nangong Xue frowned and looked at the trunk, raised her hand to support it at the opening, and said to herself: "I made a mistake this time, it's okay, just come again." "Still swinging his sword and slashing in the same position as before. Dark Night sneered: "I really regret giving it to you this time......" His voice was very soft, and he soon disappeared in the click sound of cutting trees, as well as Nangong Xue's gasping for breath, while shouting vigorously.
I didn't count how long she cut it, the big tree fell down with a "boom", and I vaguely heard Nangong Xue shouting "Be careful", and the dark night died slightly moved to avoid it, and only felt disdain in her heart, and secretly thought: "You underestimate me too much, even if it is a black bear cheetah, I won't hurt it, what is such a stupid tree?" After all, she was thinking about herself, and she didn't want to hurt her if she had some ugly words, so she found a reason casually: "Li Yijie is cowardly and incompetent, this girl has been with him for a long time, and she has long developed the habit of reminding everything." ”
I saw Nangong Xue roll up her sleeves again, step on the bottom of the tree trunk lying down with one foot, and cut down one sword after another, trying to split it into thinner woods. Her posture and expression are very similar to those of a woodcutter who sweats like rain all day long and makes a living by chopping wood. Dark Night couldn't help but smile faintly, and put on a cold face again before she noticed.
Nangong Xue was busy for a long time, and the results took shape, so she put the dry firewood she had chopped into one place, and said to the dark night: "This fire is slower to regenerate, let's catch fish first." It's late, and maybe they'll go to sleep too. Dark Night Death sneered: "Is this your usual hypocrisy of decency? You want to catch it and bake it and eat it, and you wanted to ask if it will disturb its rest?"
Nangong Xue said unhappily: "You are here again, and you have all said that you want to eliminate the narrow view of the portal, you call it repeatedly-taught-not-change." I'm worried that all the fish in the lake are sleeping, and I don't know which pile of aquatic weeds they are hiding behind, and it will be difficult to catch them. ”
"I've heard that fish sleep with their eyes open, and from the appearance they seem to be motionless. Nangong Xue nodded, rolled up her trousers, walked into the lake with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and said in the dark: "Slow." He handed a branch sharpened in front of Nangong Xue and said, "You use this." Nangong Xue looked at the branch silently, stretched out her hand to take it, and raised her head with a smile. Dark Night Death looked slightly embarrassed, and said, "What are you looking at? I just feel sorry for that sword, so what?"
Nangong Xue endured the amusement, inserted the "Cangquan Dragon Yin" back into the sheath, and said, "It turns out that you will also have something to cherish." Suddenly thinking of this words was not without sarcasm, I was afraid that he would be unhappy when he heard it, so he hurriedly pulled him and said: "Come here, it's the first time I've caught fish, and I'm definitely inexperienced. The dark night was displeased and said: "You are catching fish for the first time, did I grow up catching fish since I was a child?"
Nangong Xue also learned to laugh when he heard him, although he cultivated it by himself, but he still didn't get used to it when he remembered his indifference in the past. Smiled: "You are so smart, you can learn any problem, and you can still be stumped by two fish......?" I've only ever killed people, and you ask me to kill fish...... Let go!"
Nangong Xue was amused in her heart, thinking that his performance of shaking his hands and stomping his feet was like a child's anger. Pretending not to hear, he dragged him to the middle of the lake, and saw a tail fish swimming by with its head and tail, so close that it seemed that he could catch it with his hand.
Dark Night died impatiently, hugged his shoulders and sneered: "Hey, I said, did you know them eight hundred years ago?" Nangong Xue glanced at him with a slight complaint, and said: "This is someone's ancestor, I want to catch it, and I always have to look at the face of its descendants, pray for it, and wish it happiness after ascending to heaven." The dark night was full of inexplicability, and said, "Someone?
Nangong Xue said in her heart: "It's cost-effective to quarrel with a shallow person, he is obviously being tricked by you, but he doesn't know anything." Maybe with a little inducement, you can answer the call according to your wishes, and it will be very interesting. Holding back a smile and waving his hand, he said, "It's nothing." I'll let you see it today, I'm a great Nangong woman!" The fish, which seemed to be very spiritual, and its nimble body was deflected, and it ducked away from the branches and swam to the tiptoes where she could stand.
Nangong Xue waved the branch to chase and fight, stirring on the soles of her feet, poking her calves painfully several times, and the last time she was even more heavy and fierce, and she felt a burst of hot and viscous liquid flowing on her legs, I don't know if it was bleeding. Seeing that the fish wanted to run, he subconsciously stood on tiptoe and dialed the fish belly. The fish stopped shrinking and avoided it again, and at the same time rubbed on her heels, Nangong Xue's whole person slipped, and she was almost about to lose her center of gravity, waving her arms in front of her several times before she fixed her center of gravity and carefully expressed her breath.
Dark Night Death stared at her gloatingly, as if he regarded her being played by the fish as a joke, and said lightly: "Stupid." ”
Nangong Xue rolled her eyes and said, "You are not allowed to scold me! It is not difficult to see that people are burdened, if you have the ability, you can come and try it yourself." The expression of the dark night died was like being punched in the face, and said, "Just kidding, I don't do that kind of cheap thing." If you want to eat fish, why don't you go to a restaurant?"
Nangong Xue said: "It's the same fish, but the meaning is different." If you catch it in this lake, you're done! Eating your own grilled fish will taste very sweet, because it is the income of your own labor. The fish in the restaurant is just a tool used by some small traders and vendors to make money, they do not pay attention to taste, only pay attention to whether they can obtain greater benefits after adding these condiments, which also breaks the essence of fish. In the long run, it is naturally inferior to the same kind that grows in the wild. ”
Dark Night Death sneered and said: "What is the difference between what a big thinker takes according to his needs, so what's the difference? Why bother to be persistent and make yourself unable to live in peace?" Nangong Xue said softly: "Everyone has their fixed obsessions, but the ones they rely on are different, that is the belief he adheres to, within the principle, and no outsiders are allowed to shake easily." For example, don't you have to find a reason for accepting everything before you do it?"
Dark Night's eyes darkened, and he said, "Do you also think that I am stupid like this?" Nangong Xue said: "I didn't say that." Like you, even if the results are the same in the later stage, at least you can understand what you are doing, but it is not a purposeless busy, which is much more shrewd than many people who have wasted half their lives. Dark Night nodded helplessly and smiled bitterly, and said, "Okay, I'm defeated to you." ”
Nangong Xue smiled, and just as she was about to answer, she saw a small blue and yellow fish swimming beside her, and hurriedly probed over the branches, accidentally stepped on the soft mud on the soles of her feet, and her body fell backwards suddenly. Desperate, he swooped forward, took a few steps forward with the current, and pressed a branch against a protruding rock. Standing aside, he never said that he was going to pull her, and said with a smile: "This woman, you are really amazing?"
Nangong Xue glared at him and said, "What's the matter?" Once born, twice mature, you just wait to see me show my skills...... "That sentence...... Can you still use it like this?" Nangong Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Of course, who said no?" Dark Night Death looked weird, as if he wanted to laugh and tried his best to hold back, he only said: "Okay...... Admire. ”
Nangong Xue waved the branches several times, either stabbing into the mud or touching the gravel, and let the fish swim in front of her vividly, as if she also saw that she was a layman, not only was she not afraid at all, but shook her head and tail in front of her, and the splashed water droplets fell Nangong Xue's face and body were splashed all over her body. The fish was not in a hurry to escape, and still swam back and forth beside her, as if mocking her incompetence.
The dark night died anymore, and said helplessly: "Damn, you're too stupid." Reaching out to hold the branch and poking it down, the fish that was still alive was immediately penetrated, Nangong Xue was surprised and delighted, and cheered: "Good ......"
Before the word "powerful" could be spoken, the dark night died dragged the branch with his hand, and skewered a fish under it together, and said coldly: "Can you obey me?"
Nangong Xue said with a smile: "Serve, of course, when will I not accept it?" Let's discuss it, since you are so proficient, then it is better to officially hand over this task to you......
Halfway through speaking, his face suddenly turned red, and he looked down shyly. Dark Night followed her gaze, and at the same time felt a warm touch on her hand, but it turned out that when she was impulsive just now, she couldn't help but fiddle with the branches, and the back of her hand inadvertently touched the back of her hand. At that time, although the children of the rivers and lakes were not as shrunken as ordinary small family jasper, they did not take this kind of etiquette very seriously, but they still had the saying that "men and women do not kiss", not to mention that the dark night death was already restrained on the defense of men and women, and it was even more embarrassing at this time, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand and subconsciously rolled up his sleeves to wipe.
Nangong Xue clenched the branch that strung two fish, if the two of them let go at the same time just now, the two hard-won small fish would have to fly away. With her cleverness, she naturally wanted to see how she reacted to dying in the dark, but he was more shy than a girl herself, but he taught her how to save her face! Hurriedly ran out of the lake, threw the branches on the grass, ran back, and in order to cover up her embarrassment, she deliberately opened the topic and said: "Speaking of which, you are really very good! You can catch it so easily, it really looks like a ...... Like a ...... Hee-hee...... Professional fisherman. ”
Dark Night Death frowned and said, "Then what are you, professional woodcutter?" Nangong Xue thought of the previous "drastic" tree cutting situation, and laughed out loud, "poof", and said: "Don't you think, this kind of life is quite happy? If possible, I would rather be an ordinary woodcutter with my senior brother in the mountains and forests, a man ploughing and a woman weaving, than a chivalrous man who is famous on the rivers and lakes, but his life is in danger at any time. ”
Dark Night said: "You know that it is impossible to ......" Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned cold, but it was Nangong Xue who bent down and picked up a handful of lake water and splashed it at him. The two of them were so close that they were completely defenseless before the dark night, but they were splashed squarely, and they were immediately furious, saying, "What are you doing?
Nangong Xue said: "Don't you want to die or live as soon as you open your mouth, it will make people feel uncomfortable when you listen to it." I know you've often used force against people, but I ask you, have you ever fought a water fight......?"
