By the next day, the snow on the ground was a foot thick, and the surrounding area was covered in snow, with ice crystals hanging from the branches.

The snow finally stopped, Mu Ling pushed the door open, and walked out of the room gently, the ground was covered with snow, but he didn't feel cold, maybe this is protection.

The sunny and snowy weather, the thousands of rays of light, illuminating the earth, seem to consume the bone-chilling cold.

At this time, Mu Ling wanted to go to Li Yanqiu and Long Yinxiao, but found that they were missing, she walked into the snow, vaguely heard someone not far away, and curiosity drove her to continue walking.

She stood against the light, looking ahead, and there was a bamboo hut in front of her, in which two people sat facing each other, one bowed his head in meditation, a little bitter, and the other smiled and was very proud.

Mu Ling took a closer look, the two were Li Yanqiu and Long Yinxiao, they were playing against each other, the person who meditated was Long Yinxiao, and the person who smiled was Li Yanqiu.

She stood behind her, only to hear Li Yanqiu laugh and say: "Old thing, counting this game, you lost three games today, haha..."

"Three games are three games, the old man doesn't believe in evil, I'm such a smart and sound person can't be a cripple to you, hum!" Long Yinxiao looked unconvinced, snorted softly in his nose, and said, still bowing his head and thinking.

Li Yanqiu's eyes moved and saw Mu Ling standing behind him, Mu Ling smiled like a flower, stepped forward and shouted happily twice.

"Dragon-senpai!"

"Senior Li!"

Afraid of angering Long Yinxiao, Mu Ling mentioned Long Yinxiao to the front this time, Long Yinxiao didn't seem to appreciate it, but it was not easy to attack, Li Yanqiu said "um", still full of smiles.

Long Yinxiao was still looking down and thinking about that move, but Li Yanqiu was deep in his hands, messed up the chess pieces, and said, "No more, no more!"

At this time, the dragon roared anxiously, and said to Li Yanqiu: "Old cripple, what are you doing here? This game is not over yet!"

Li Yanqiu was not in a hurry at all, but smiled: "No, there is no reward or punishment, and it will be boring for you to win." ”

"Who's to say, aren't we agreed? The winning side can make any request to the losing side, and the losing side cannot refuse. Long Yinxiao didn't know Li Yanqiu's intentions, and blurted out.

"Okay, how many games have I won against you today?" Li Yanqiu smiled slightly and asked.

"Count this inning, three innings. Long Yinxiao said angrily.

"Okay, then you can teach Miss Mu three more moves, otherwise I will block chess and never play chess with you again. Li Yanqiu said with difficulty, in fact, he had already made up his mind that Long Yinxiao did not dare to refuse.

Long Yinxiao had to respond to Li Yanqiu's request again, and taught Mu Ling three more moves in the snow, Mu Ling still learned it after watching it once, and it was not bad at all, which made Long Yinxiao feel shocked, he deliberately put the speed of the sword faster, and Mu Ling also wrote it down, there were no mistakes, it was really rare.

In this way, after three or five days, losing chess one after another, Long Yinxiao's exquisite left-handed swordsmanship has been taught to Mu Ling.

Gradually, Long Yinxiao, who has been away from home for a long time, misses his daughter, and has a good impression of the smart and clever woman in front of him, in his opinion, Mu Ling has the advantages of his two daughters, Long Ruolan's kindness, stability, gentleness and thoughtfulness with Long Xiyue's cleverness, liveliness, intelligence and agility.

So far, Long Yinxiao has been away from home for half a month, in fact, he did not come out to play by himself as he said to Li Yanqiu, but was driven out by his wife Lu Erniang when he was in Huilong Mountain.

Li Yanqiu knew that although Long Yinxiao was a generation of heroes and famous all over the world, he was also a character who was afraid of guilt, and he had already seen it but he didn't break it.

And he lives alone in the depths of the mountains and forests and feels bored, and there are old friends who come to visit him and do not refuse to come, and the dragon roars and does not invite himself to eliminate a sorrow in his heart.

One night, while resting in his room, Mu Ling suddenly heard a voice that was so long and long that at first glance it sounded like a child crying in a low voice.

It was already night, and everything was quiet, only this sudden and miserable cry came to my ears.

Mu Ling felt curious in her heart, she took the courage to take the sword placed next to the bed, got up and went out.

After taking a few steps, the faint sense of fear in my heart was gradually diluted by a strong curiosity.

She followed the sound to a wood, and the snow under her feet made a "creaking" sound, and she stopped, and the sound of crying in the air suddenly stopped.

There were a few terrible screams in the distance, I don't know what kind of beast made it, the sound was desolate and terrifying, so that Mu Ling's heart rose to his throat. Although she was afraid, she had already come out, and there was no turning back, she clenched the sword in her hand and walked cautiously forward.

Her steps stopped under a large tree, and in the faint moonlight, a thin figure huddled behind an ancient pine, trembling, and the sound of the crying was made by the figure.

Mu Ling stabilized his mind, grabbed the sword in his hand, pointed at the figure, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" Why are you crying here late at night?"

When the man turned his head, with the help of the faint moonlight, Mu Ling saw the person's face clearly, the other party turned out to be a child about six or seven years old, the child pointed to a dense forest in the distance, still trembling, and replied cryingly: "Sister, I am Wu Lingyu, the young master of the General's Mansion, I was captured by an old lame, he locked me in a dark house, and I escaped from it." ”

Mu Ling looked in the direction of his finger, and in the dense forest, there was indeed a sword in a small room, looming.

She looked at the child in front of her again, dressed brightly, with a rich and noble atmosphere, like a child from a big family.

It turned out that the child was Wu Lingyu, the little young master who disappeared inexplicably from the General's Mansion, seeing this scene, Mu Lingfang remembered that He Zicang had said that he was investigating the disappearance of the little young master of the General's Mansion.

When she saw the child in front of her, she was also pitiful, thinking that she was about to become a mother, the woman's natural maternal surname was stimulated, she took Wu Lingyu in her arms, and gently stroked his forehead, which looked like a mother.

Mu Ling took Wu Lingyu back to her place of residence, and in the early morning of the next day, she called Long Yinxiao and Li Yanqiu to find out what happened.

As soon as the kid saw Li Yanqiu, he was so frightened that he hid aside, pointed at him, and said timidly: "Bad guy, bad guy!"

Seeing this scene, Mu Ling was puzzled, walked up to Wu Lingyu, put his hand in his palm, tried his best to calm his emotions, and said, "What's wrong with you, grandpa is a good person, not a bad person." ”

Wu Lingyu kept shaking his head, still with a look of fear, and muttered: "No, no, he caught me and locked me in a dark room, he is not a good person!"

As soon as he heard this, Mu Lingzi was even more confused. She couldn't help but think to herself: "Senior Li's legs are disabled and his mobility is difficult, how can he forcibly bring a stubborn child here? Even if he knows martial arts, how can a senior in the rivers and lakes embarrass an ignorant child? And Senior Li is not an extremely vicious person." Could it be that there is some untold story here?"

This was indeed unbelievable and suspicious, and at this time, she looked at Li Yanqiu with a suspicious gaze, hoping that he could give an answer.

Li Yanqiu glanced at the child, his eyes were sad, he was on crutches, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and was about to speak.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves outside the door came like a tide, and then someone was heard jumping down the horse, and the creaking sound of the snowflakes was being heard, and everyone panicked, and they did not know what was going to happen. (To be continued.) )
