Lu'er helped Fang Zhongjin out for a long time, and Fang Zhongjin's qi and blood were finally not as churning as before. He thought that even if the man regretted chasing them again at this time, he would not be able to catch up. So let the deer put down himself, find a flat boulder, and sit cross-legged on it to do the work.

After a big week, Fang Zhongjin felt that his internal breath was no longer chaotic, his heart rhythm was smooth, and his mind was clear, probably without hindrance.

When he opened his eyes, his surroundings had begun to darken, and the setting sun had stained the clouds red in the sky, and everything had turned a soft orange. Lu'er stared at him anxiously with a pair of big eyes, and his eyes were covered with a layer of moisture. He smiled and said, "I'm fine, let's find a place to stay." As he spoke, he stood up straight and walked forward with his burden on his back.

Lu'er saw that he moved freely when he got up and walked, thinking that this internal strength method still had the effect of healing, and finally put his mind at ease. Neither of them has ever experienced the days of sleeping in the open, and they don't know what it means to "catch the night", that is, to find a place to stay before dark, and to stop first. Otherwise, it will not be so easy to find a place to stay when you can't see your fingers. Lu'er is a girl in the end, Fang Zhongjin pities her for not walking fast, and she is not in a hurry. Finally, when it was dark, they found a ruined temple.

This dilapidated temple has obviously not been entered for many years, and there is a thick layer of ash on the door panel. When I walked inside, I saw that even the statues of the gods enshrined in this small mountain temple were pushed to the ground. The walls are dilapidated and leaking, and there is a big hole in the roof that can't cover up the wind and rain. He didn't pick and choose, and made two clumps of straw in the temple to make a bed. Then clear out a clearing and pile dry firewood. As if playing a trick, the deer took out the fire fold from the baggage and lit the dry wood in the wind. She took out two cold steamed buns and stuck them on the branches, and the two of them roasted them separately to eat.

Fang Zhongjin looked at the flickering flames, thought for a while, and said, "Now we have two problems that must be solved before we can continue to hurry. ”

Lu'er sat across from him with his knees crossed, tilting his head to look at him with a smile.

Fang Zhongjin said: "The first thing is that the two of us don't look like brothers and sisters, how to tell people in the future." Moreover, the man on the rooster slope just now, although I don't know who he is, he obviously recognizes me. I don't know if anyone will recognize me and embarrass us again. ”

Lu'er didn't ask why someone would embarrass the two of them when they recognized him, but said, "It's also simple, you wait for me for a while." As she spoke, she took out her big bag and rummaged through it, and in a moment she took out a large dressing box, which contained rows and rows of small boxes. There's even a tiny little mirror. Lu'er's fingers were slender and dexterous, and he took out a small brush and smeared it on his face with the various powders in the box. After a while, she looked up at Fang Zhongjin and smiled, and said, "What do you think?"

When Fang Zhongjin looked at her again, it was not the same as in the past. In the past, Lu'er was an inconspicuous little girl most of the time, and she also became a rare beauty with bright and beautiful things. And now, Lu'er doesn't know how to use any means to turn herself into the appearance of a little Han girl. Although the eyes are still large and smart, the facial features no longer look different from ordinary people. It's just that this time, Lu'er follows his selfishness and doesn't want to dress himself up as inconspicuous anymore. Now she looks like a cute and pitiful girl next door.

Lu'er said: "You are also concocted in the same way, I will dress you up early tomorrow morning, and no one will recognize you." ”

Although Fang Zhongjin knew that Lu'er would wear makeup, he was still stunned. He said, "Lu'er, do you know how to disguise?"

Lu'er smiled lightly and said, "I don't know what the disguise technique is. This is my own makeup technique, and I am the founder of this makeup school. ”

Fang Zhongjinqi asked: "You can actually figure out such a powerful skill, you are really smart." ”

Lu'er sighed faintly and said, "When I was young, I always scared others because I was born differently from other children. I asked my mother why I looked different from others, and she couldn't say anything. Since then, I've often looked at other people's looks and wondered what the difference was between us. Gradually, I realized that my facial features were deeper than others. I think other sisters will rub some white powder on their faces. I just thought about rubbing a little white powder on the side of the bridge of my nose and the sockets of my eyes, maybe it wouldn't look so different. Saying that, she smiled and said, "It's really a shame for this discovery, since then, my makeup skills have become better and better, and even my sisters have come to me for makeup." Otherwise, where would we get the money for the journey?" she said as she patted her purse proudly.

Fang Zhongjin said: "Actually, I think you are better looking, but those ordinary people in the market rarely see Westerners in their lives, and they make a fuss." You don't have to worry, when my martial arts practice is strong, no one will dare to bully us anymore. At that time, you wanted to face the sky plainly, and no one dared to gossip. ”

Lu'er saw that he was sincere, and his heart was moved. Her eyes flickered against the fire, and she closed them for a moment, then opened them again, and said, "And what is the second thing?"

Fang Zhongjin said: "The second thing is where we are going next. Fang Zhongjin really wanted to go back to his hometown to see, and by the way, see what mysteries were under the old locust tree.

Seeing that Lu'er was just smiling at him and not making any comments, he took a deep breath and said, "Since I already know the story of you when you were a child, you should also listen to me." ”

Fang Zhongjin told his life and inventory by the fire, and also told his bizarre experience after leaving the Fang family.

Lu'er listened to him finish all the way and sighed: "Brother Jin, your life has so many twists and turns. ”

Fang Zhongjin said: "Now that these are over, let me ask you, would you like to go to my hometown with me to have a look? After saying that, there was a trace of apprehension in his heart.

Lu'er smiled and said, "Then I must go! If you don't want to take me there, I still have to tie a rope around your wrist." ”

The two immediately agreed that they would set off for Ninghai, Zhejiang after dawn. The two of them were tired from the day, and each of them was lying on his own pile of grass. The flames in the pyre were running out, and a little starlight was leaking through the hole in the roof.

At Lu'er's request, Fang Zhongjin described what kind of place Ninghai was, and what interesting things had happened there. Speaking of the deer's soft snoring, I thought it was really tired of her during the day. Fang Zhongjin looked at the starry sky with a small leaky tile above his head, and gradually fell asleep.
