The sun is setting, and the lights are on.

There was no light in the bedroom where Ye Qiuxiang was, so when she opened her eyes leisurely, she felt that it was dark all around, and she didn't feel a little lonely, and she was about to sit up from the bed, when she suddenly felt movement at the door, and then saw Ma Zhong gently push open the door and step in.

Ye Qiuxiang seemed to be out of instinct, and when she saw that it was Ma Zhong, her body that had just been supported quickly lay down again. Ma Zhong didn't notice Ye Qiuxiang's abnormal behavior, only saw that she had woken up, so he walked to the side of the bed and greeted: "Miss Ye, have you woken up!

Ye Qiuxiang was stunned at first, lay on the bed and winked at Ma Zhong, and asked curiously, "How do you know that my surname is Ye?"

Ma Zhong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot to tell you, it was Sister Chuhui who told me, she said that you are her master, by the way, and this sword, I brought it back to you." As he spoke, he presented the sword in his hand to Ye Qiuxiang.

I did teach her some swordsmanship, who are you?"

Ma Zhong first rested the sword on the table next to the bed, and then said, "She...... Wait a minute, I'll light the lamp first......" He turned around and continued, "You must be hungry, I'll bring you food by the way." With that, he left the room on his own.

After a short time, Ma Zhong returned, holding the food and soup in one hand and an oil lamp in the other. Put the lamp on the table first, and then put the food and soup on the table one by one.

At this time, Ye Qiuxiang was sitting with her back against the head of the bed, stroking and looking at the sword in her hand, as if she was looking at relatives and friends, her eyes were full of pity and pity.

"Miss Ye, I can tell that this is a good sword. Ma Zhong saw the appearance of the sword clearly through the dim light, and couldn't help but praise it.

Ye Qiuxiang nodded, put away the sword, put it on the side of the bed, and smiled at Ma Zhong and said, "Thank you for bringing it back to me, if I lose it, it will be really difficult for me to live......"

Ma Zhong said with a smile when he heard this: "It's not so exaggerated, right? Miss Ye, are you too persistent?"

"You won't understand......" Ye Qiuxiang wanted to speak and stopped, and lowered her head silently as she spoke.

Ma Zhong saw that Ye Qiuxiang's mood was a little low, so he didn't continue, and changed his words, and said, "I think you must be hungry, right?" I specially prepared these meals for you, you should eat them while they are hot!"

Ye Qiuxiang just glanced at it from the corner of her eyes, and said lightly: "I have no appetite, I don't eat it, thank you for your kindness......"

"If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat, how can you recover your strength if you don't eat enough?" Ma Zhongdao.

"I said I didn't want to eat it. Ye Qiuxiang said and gently pushed the rice bowl away, resolutely refusing to eat.

Ma Zhong had no choice but to put down the rice bowl, and then said, "Since you insist on not eating, then drink this bowl of soup, right?"

Ye Qiuxiang didn't answer, her expression was in a daze, she didn't know what to think, and only after a moment raised her head and asked softly: "Where is Miss Leng?"

"Do you want to see her?". Ma Zhong asked.

Ye Qiuxiang said: "I still don't want it for the time being, I just ask ......"

"She'll be visiting you later. Ma Zhong said, "She also hopes that you will recover quickly, she cried a lot when she saw you injured like this, and it can be seen that your master and apprentice have a deep relationship!"

Ye Qiuxiang seemed to feel a little surprised when she heard this, but she didn't speak, and after a while, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, her body twitched like an electric shock, and instinctively touched her chest with her hand, and the expression on her face was slightly distorted by the pain of the moment.

"Miss Ye, are you okay?" Ma Zhong hurriedly stretched out his hands to support Ye Qiuxiang, and asked in a concerned tone.

Ye Qiuxiang took a deep breath, frowned and said, "I just feel a little stuffy in my heart...... It's better now. ”

Ma Zhong stretched out his hand to probe Ye Qiuxiang's forehead and said, "Your body is cold, and you are still very weak, you have to recuperate for a period of time before you can recover." Don't say more, drink this bowl of soup and lie down to rest......"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me......"

"How can you get better if you don't eat or drink?" Ma Zhong said bitterly, "This soup is for you to replenish your body, if you don't drink it, it will be wasted, so let's drink it while it's hot!" After speaking, he sent the soup to Ye Qiuxiang's mouth, trying to persuade her to drink it.

Ye Qiuxiang glanced at Ma Zhong again, hesitated for a long time before slowly taking the soup, holding it in his hand but not drinking it.

"Why don't you drink it, it's not good when it's cold!" Ma Zhong hurriedly reminded.

"Why did you want to save me?" Ye Qiuxiang suddenly asked.

This sudden question really knocked Ma Zhong down, he was stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he smiled at Ye Qiuxiang who was looking at him and said: "Seeing the girl in trouble, how can I turn a blind eye and not save me when I see death? You really want to ask me why I really can't say, maybe this is my instinct, right?"

"Then why are you so good to me?" Ye Qiuxiang still asked lightly, but there was more tenderness than the previous indifference.

Ma Zhong couldn't help but smile again when he heard this, and said, "Miss Ye is serious, in fact, I just did my best to take care of you, and I can't talk about whether it's good or not......"

"I ...... I don't need you to take care of it!" Ye Qiuxiang's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she threw the bowl in her hand fiercely, shattering it and spilling the soup on the ground.

Ma Zhong couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't understand what he said wrongly, he actually made Ye Qiuxiang so angry, and only after a while did he look at Ye Qiuxiang in surprise and asked, "Miss Ye, did I say something wrong to make you unhappy?" Why do you react so much?"

Ye Qiuxiang said: "You're right, it's me who is wrong." With that, he lifted the quilt, picked up his sword, and was about to turn over and get out of bed.

"It's getting late, you're injured, where are you going?" Ma Zhong hurriedly stopped Ye Qiuxiang and said.

"It's my business, get out of the way. Ye Qiuxiang's voice was very weak, but her tone was very serious, and her face seemed to have a layer of frost.

"If you insist on leaving, I can't force you to stay, but if you don't explain it to me clearly, just leave, I can't feel at peace, if I really say something wrong, I can apologize to you, I don't need to hold it in my heart, so everyone is uncomfortable. Ma Zhong said sincerely.

At this moment, a person came in from outside the door, it was Xue Yunchong. The door was open, so he walked straight into the room, came to Ma Zhong's side, looked at Ma Zhong first, then turned his head to look at Ye Qiuxiang, and then asked with some surprise: "You guys...... What is this doing?"

When Ma Zhong heard this, he said: "Brother Xue, you came just in time, you are articulate, hurry up and persuade Miss Ye, she said to leave." ”

Xue Yunchong immediately understood when he heard this, then turned to Ye Qiuxiang and said respectfully: "Miss Ye, I am Xue Yunchong, Chu Hui's senior brother, thank you in advance for taking care of my junior sister." If you come here, you will be safe, but you don't know why you are in a hurry to leave?"

When Ye Qiuxiang heard Xue Yunchong report his name, his face changed instantly, but he quickly returned to normal, kept his calm, and said slowly: "I...... I just don't want to disturb you, and I'm not used to sending people under the fence. ”

"Is it really just that?". Ma Zhong almost couldn't believe it when he heard it, and blurted out a rhetorical question.

Xue Yun rushed and said, "Miss Ye doesn't have to mind, just treat this place as her home." To be honest, we're not the masters here, we're all just passing by, we're all from the rivers and lakes, so it's inappropriate to be so restrained, isn't it?".

Ye Qiuxiang was a little distracted at this time, her eyes fell on the heavenly sword behind Xue Yunchong, for fear of arousing suspicion, she only glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, and said, "If you don't dislike it, I will stay and rest for a few days, and it will not be too late to leave when the injury is healed." ”
