Chapter 23, Sleepless Under the Moon
On August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon hovers in the night sky, surrounded by stars, and the night is very charming.
In a small pavilion in the backyard of Eagle Claw Gate.
A young man in white, holding a wine jug in his hand, stood in the pavilion, looking up at the moonlight in the night sky.
This young man in white is none other than Qin Xuan.
Escorting Zhao Tianying's father and daughter all the way, they finally entered the city safely, and came to this eagle claw gate, Qin Xuan originally planned to leave, but Zhao Tianying had to keep him here as a guest to repay this life-saving grace;
But Qin Xuan did not mention Grandpa Zhong to Zhao Tianying, since Grandpa Zhong has been incognito for many years, then he has his intentions, why should he do this.
"Alas..." A sigh came out of Qin Xuan's mouth, and at some point, the eyes that looked at the full moon had already shed tears.
Lifting the wine jug and taking a sip of wine, Qin Xuan shook his head and said lightly: "I miss my relatives every festival..." ”
He thought of the Qin Mansion, remembered his father, remembered Grandpa Zhong, and remembered the two masters. At the time of this Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, I am afraid that everyone is admiring the moon and drinking tea in the backyard, and I, hehe, am alone....
"At this moment, the two masters should drink tea and watch the moon on the top of the mountain.... The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth were lightly raised, and he missed it very much in his heart.
I still remember the first time I met the master, the master stood on the top of the Chihiro Peak, watching the full moon alone, I didn't understand it at that time, I couldn't understand the master's mood, but as I grew up, I finally understood that it was sadness...
"Master, I'm thinking about my master... Gently reading in his mouth, Qin Xuan missed the two masters more and more in his heart.
A gust of evening wind blew, and the green silk fluttered in the wind, and the white back looked lonely and lonely.
......
Late at night, Zhao Lin'er couldn't sleep peacefully in the boudoir for a long time, and the fight during the day kept coming to her mind, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, and her heart was bored, so she got up with her clothes and came to the pavilion to relax.
As soon as she walked to the backyard, she saw the lonely figure in the pavilion, Zhao Lin'er stopped her lotus steps, and her beautiful eyes quietly commented on the other party's back.
There was a sudden sigh in the pavilion in her ears, and Zhao Lin'er was surprised.
"He, perhaps, is lonely.... Looking at the other party's back, Zhao Lin'er secretly guessed in her heart.
I lost my mother since I was a child, and my father was dedicated to taking care of the eagle claw door, and he had very little time to accompany him.
For Qin Xuan, he couldn't see through him, before he knew him, he had heard rumors about him, and it was rumored that the white-clothed swordsman was chivalrous and righteous, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and the hero was a teenager, this was his first impression of him.
Later, after getting acquainted, his swordsmanship was superb, cynical, and a disciple, which was his second impression of him.
But now, with that sad sigh and lonely back, Zhao Lin'er suddenly found that she didn't know him.
During the day, the moment he was rescued, he was so handsome and chic, Zhao Lin'er admitted that he had some heartbeat, but at this moment, seeing his loneliness and helplessness, Zhao Lin'er wanted to hold the other party into his arms and comfort each other with his own warmth.
Zhao Lin'er found that she fell in love with him....
"Qin Gongzi..."The beautiful voice slowly came from behind him, and Qin Xuan woke up from his grief. I was slightly shocked in my heart, and I didn't even notice that someone was approaching behind me, this is a big taboo in the rivers and lakes, and I will lose my life at any time!
Turning around, smiling at the corner of his mouth, Qin Xuan knew who was behind him, and said softly: "Miss Lin'er, why are you here? The night breeze here is cold, be careful of the wind cold..." ”
Seeing Qin Xuan turn around, Zhao Lin'er looked at him, and when she saw the tears on Qin Xuan's cheeks, her heart seemed to be broken.
Pursing her red lips, Zhao Lin'er tapped her head: "I can't sleep peacefully in the room for a long time, so I go out for a walk and breathe..." ”
"Hehe, I'm afraid I'm scared during the day... Qin Xuan raised the wine jug, took a sip of wine, and smiled.
Hearing this, Zhao Lin'er nodded and acquiesced, she was indeed frightened.
"Miss Lin'er, this is the rivers and lakes, a place full of blood......" Qin Xuan looked at Zhao Lin'er with a stubborn smile, and said comfortingly: "It's good to get used to it........."
Meimu commented on Qin Xuan, seeing that the other party showed a naughty smile again, Zhao Lin'er felt bitter in her heart, it turned out that he had always been wearing a mask to show people? Hiding sadness in his heart, in fact, he was not so chic and happy!
"Miss Lin'er?Miss Lin'er?What's wrong with you?" Qin Xuan's inquiry sounded in his ears, and Zhao Lin'er recovered from her distraction and looked at Qin Xuan with a concerned face.
"Gongzi Qin, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" to hide her gaffe, Zhao Lin'er smiled and asked in a coquettish voice.
Qin Xuan took a deep breath and sighed: "Admire the moon.... ”
"Oh?" Zhao Lin'er looked up at the night sky, the full moon was still hanging in the sky: "Qin Gongzi, are you missing your family?" looked at Qin Xuan delicately and asked softly.
"I don't have a family.... Her voice was cold.
Qin Xuan's indifferent eyes suddenly revealed a hateful gaze, which flashed immediately, but was noticed by Zhao Lin'er.
"It seems that he has a lot of secrets that he has been hiding in his heart... Zhao Lin'er thought distressedly.
"Miss Lin'er, you are in a martial arts family, why don't you learn martial arts?" Qin Xuan opened the topic and asked softly.
In a family of rivers and lakes, why does she not have martial arts? Could it be that Zhao Tianying loves her and doesn't want her daughter to suffer?
Zhao Lin'er knew that Qin Xuan was deliberately pulling away from the topic, and she was also empathetic and didn't ask any questions, her jade hand stroked the green silk in her ear, and her red lips said lightly: "I don't like to fight and kill, all, I don't practice martial arts........."
Meimu stared at Qin Xuan quietly, bright with a hint of affection.
"What about now, have you ever wanted to practice martial arts?" Hearing this, Qin Xuan looked up at the night sky and asked again.
"I want to practice martial arts!" Zhao Lin'er replied resolutely, after parting with her father in life and death, she realized that she was wrong, if she had strong martial arts, then she could protect her relatives around her and not let them be harmed!
"Learn martial arts.... It's not to dominate the martial arts, but to protect the important people in your heart........." Qin Xuan nodded and said with a smile. Suddenly, he remembered his father and mother, if he was now, he would be able to protect them well!
"But... ”
Blinking her eyes like a moon, Zhao Lin'er said helplessly: "Eagle Claw Gong is not suitable for me..." I am a woman, and such a fierce martial art as Eagle Claw Gong is not suitable for my own cultivation.
After speaking, he looked at Qin Xuan expectantly, and his two jade hands kneaded each other in his sleeves.
Qin Xuan was not confused, of course he understood the other party's thoughts, but after pondering for a while, he still shook his head and said, "My sword is not suitable for you..." ”
Hearing what Qin Xuan said, Zhao Lin'er's sweet face showed a look of disappointment.
"But.... The voice came again, and Zhao Lin'er looked at Qin Xuan a little nervously.
"However, I can teach you another kind of martial arts! That martial art may be very suitable for you..."Qin Xuan thought for a moment and said with a smile, in addition to the love sword, he also had several Shaolin martial arts taught by Master Huiku, and one of them was suitable for women to cultivate!
"Really?!" Hearing this, Zhao Lin'er showed a look of joy on her face, and said happily, after speaking, she hurriedly covered her red lips with her jade hand and was silent;
Seeing that she was so happy, Qin Xuan nodded affirmatively.
That happy face focused Zhao Lin'er's sweetness even more, Qin Xuan looked at her and suddenly lost his mind.
"Qin Gongzi, what martial arts do you want to teach me?" Seeing Qin Xuan's burning eyes staring at him, Zhao Lin'er's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head and asked softly.
"Flip the flower fingers.... Qin Xuan woke up from his trance, found that he was a little out of shape, and smiled slightly.
Flower finger, one of the seventy-two Shaolin stunts, is a soft skill in the hand, which is feminine, after the success, the three-finger stunt can hurt people invisibly, and it is the top self-defense stunt.
"Nice name... It's very poetic... Looking at Qin Xuan, Zhao Lin'er blinked happily.
"Look at it..."Raising the wine jug, Qin Xuan took a sip of wine, then stretched out his right hand, thumb, index finger, middle finger, three fingers and a pinch, and waved it towards the flowers in front of the pavilion, and suddenly a bright flower flew towards him, and the three fingers quickly held the flowers in his hand.
"It's amazing!" Seeing Qin Xuan sucking the flowers into his hands like taking something out of the air, Zhao Lin'er excitedly appreciated.
"Hehe..."Qin Xuan smiled mischievously, and with a wave of his right hand, the flowers in his hand quickly shot towards the doorpost in the distance.
There was a muffled sound, and the flowers shot on the goalpost, which was rigidly embedded in the goalpost.
This time, Zhao Lin'er was dumbfounded, this martial arts is so powerful, feminine and beautiful, it really suits herself!
"How is it? Do you want to learn?" Seeing Zhao Lin'er's surprised expression, Qin Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
"En!" smiled sweetly, and Zhao Lin'er replied seriously.
"Okay, I'll teach you ......" Putting the wine jug in his hand on the stone table in the pavilion, clapping his hands, Qin Xuan paced towards Zhao Lin'er, ready to teach her how to use the flower finger.
Seeing Qin Xuan walking towards him and feeling the manly aura on the other party's body, Zhao Lin'er's little face suddenly turned red, her hands kept stirring in her sleeves, her heart was very nervous, and her heartbeat kept speeding up.
"Come, teach you how to gesture first... Qin Xuan came to Zhao Lin'er's side, but didn't notice her abnormal expression, and then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of holding his fingers and began to teach her.
"Oh..."Zhao Lin'er stretched out her jade hand nervously, pinched her three fingers slightly, and learned Qin Xuan's gesture.
"It's not like that, it's supposed to be..."
Because she was a little nervous, Zhao Lin'er made the wrong gesture, Qin Xuan was amused in her heart, so she reached out and grabbed her jade hand and taught her carefully.
At this time, Zhao Lin'er's heart was beating very fast, and Qin Gongzi actually grabbed her hand, her heart was very shy, and her cheeks burned like red apples.
"Childe.... It's late... Let's practice again tomorrow.... Retracting her jade hand in a panic, Zhao Lin'er lowered her head shyly, said softly, hurriedly took lotus steps, and trotted out of the backyard.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Zhao Lin'er's back as she fled in a panic, Qin Xuan didn't know why.
After the other party's back disappeared, Qin Xuan looked down at his hand, and suddenly understood, whether men and women kiss or not, he actually touched the other party's jade hand just now, is this considered a light person?
However, Miss Lin'er's jade hands are white and flawless, smooth and delicate when touched, and her heart is a little nervous just now, this is the first time she has touched a girl except for her mother.
"Hehe, it feels good..."Shaking his head, no longer thinking nonsense, the corners of his mouth showed a naughty smile again, Qin Xuan chuckled.
After laughing, he picked up the wine jug on the stone table, raised his head again, and drank and admired the moon.
On the other side, Zhao Lin'er hurriedly ran back to the room, closed the door, threw herself on the bed, and buried her head in the futon;
Zhao Lin'er's face was ruddy, her heart was beating faster, and she tossed and turned on the bed.
This night, neither side had the intention of sleeping.
