After going through this, everyone is different from usual.

Gao Changjiu left Nanyuan the next day with a big iron sword on his back, saying that he was going to the Qilin Cave to retreat and cultivate.

Zuo Qing didn't talk much for several days, and although his body was fine, Guan Ming and the others were worried that he was suffering from depression. One day, Zuo Qing suddenly picked up a sword, with the strength of both hands will also be able to dance the sword, he didn't know any martial arts moves, just slashed the sword a few times indiscriminately, and then threw the sword on the ground with a "dang long" sound, panting and sitting on the ground, after a while, sighed and returned to the house, and slept with his head covered in broad daylight. In the next few days, Zuo Qing often looked out the window in a daze.

The rescued girl doesn't seem to be emotionally unstable as she imagined, but very quiet, I don't know if it's an introvert, or the reason for the disaster, and she doesn't like to talk, she treats Xiang Wan and Xiang Ting very politely and politely, but when she has nothing to do, she also likes to be alone in a daze.

After many inquiries from Xiang Wan and Xiang Ting, I barely knew that her name was Bai Xuyuan, 15 years old this year, and she couldn't ask anything else, and Xiang Wan and Xiang Ting didn't dare to ask more.

Yu Qi'er wanted to report directly to the head master Wang Zhongyun, but the head of the sect went to Yunyou again, and the affairs of the Spirit Sword Gate were still managed by Li Shangxing, which made Yu Qi'er a little dissatisfied.

Lin Shuai did return to Qianling Mountain, and Li Shangxing was forced by the pressure of Yu Sangyang and Yi Wuregret, so he had to ground Lin Shuai first and prevent him from going down the mountain. This kind of treatment made the people in the sect complain, but whether it was the elders or other disciples, they all knew Lin Shuai's background, so they didn't say anything more.

The corpse under the mountain had already been collected by the Spirit Sword Gate and buried, Bai Xuyuan cried for a while, crying dry tears, crying hoarsely, then stopped crying, and began to be depressed again.

In the early morning of this day, Zuo Qing got up exceptionally early and suddenly asked Guan Ming: "Senior brother, where is that girl?"

Guan Ming knew that he must be asking Bai Xuyuan, "Xiaobai, is she living in the West Vegetable Garden, and Xiang Wan and Xiang Ting are taking care of her." ”

"I'll go see her!" With that, Zuo Qing went straight to the West Vegetable Garden.

Guan Ming was confused, and wondered in his heart, "What's wrong with the old brother today?"

The West Vegetable Garden is not a vegetable garden, but there is also a vegetable garden, there is a large vegetable garden in the south, there is a courtyard on the north side of the vegetable garden, flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard, and there are houses on three sides, Xiang Wan, Xiang Ting and several other female disciples live here, and Bai Xuyuan is also temporarily arranged to live here. Because the entire courtyard and vegetable garden are on the west side of the South Garden, it is called the West Vegetable Garden.

Since being rescued, Bai Xuyuan has also been waking up early and getting up early. This morning, after Bai Xuyuan got up, he was ready to open the window for ventilation first, and as soon as he pushed open the window lattice, he saw a person walking into the courtyard, the person was of medium stature, but he was thin, he looked a little thin, his face was fair, his eyebrows were clear, but his cheeks were slightly sunken, as if he was malnourished, but he was angular and very boyish.

Bai Xuyuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that he was short of breath and his heart was beating faster, so he hurriedly closed the window.

After Zuo Qing entered the hospital, he also saw Bai Xuyuan open the window, but before he could see it clearly, he saw Bai Xuyuan close the window with a "bang". Because I have seen it before, besides, the senior sisters in the courtyard basically know each other. So Zuo Qing went straight to Bai Xuyuan's door and knocked lightly, "May I ask if you are Xiaobai?" My name is Zuo Qing. ”

Hearing Zuo Qing's name, Bai Xuyuan's heart was even more nervous, she had already heard that it was Zuo Qing and Gao Chang who saved her, Bai Xuyuan suppressed her bouncing heart, tiptoed to the door, opened the door, and looked at Zuo Qing.

The girl in front of Zuo Qing was petite, with delicate facial features, her dark eyes were very clear, her white and tender skin was like beautiful jade, and her hair was draped behind her before she had time to pull it up. It's just that in his expression, there is still resentment, and his spirit is a little sluggish.

When the girl saw Zuo Qing, she bowed her head even more shyly, hiding her hands in her sleeves.

Zuo Qing took a half step back, bowed and saluted, and said, "Bai-hmm, everyone calls you Xiaobai, right?"

Bai Xuyuan nodded slightly.

Zuo Qing said: "I want to talk to you." ”

Bai Xuyuan bit his lip and nodded.

"Old brother, why are you here?" While Zuo Qing and Bai Xuyuan were talking, the two sisters, Xiang Wan and Xiang Ting, walked over from their respective rooms.

Zuo Qing hurriedly saluted, "Two senior sisters are early, I want to chat with Xiaobai." ”

"Oh. Xiang Wan and Xiang Ting looked at each other, nodded and said, "You guys, let's go get breakfast." ”

Zuo Qing took Bai Xuyuan, bypassed the West Vegetable Garden, and came to the west slope, where the terrain is slightly higher, you can overlook the entire South Garden, and you can also see the main peak of Qianling Mountain and the Monkey's Head Peak.

The two sat under the tree, Zuo Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said solemnly to Bai Xuyuan: "I'm sorry!"

As soon as Zuo Qing started, Bai Xuyuan immediately burst into tears, as if a sentence had led to those sad and unbearable things in the past.

Zuo Qing's throat moved, and he continued: "I'm sorry, I didn't have the ability to rescue you at the time, I can't forgive myself now, I hate myself for being incompetent-"

"No, you've saved me, and I'm so grateful. Bai Xuyuan said leisurely.

"You know what? When I was very young, ten years ago, I watched my loved ones die right next to me, and I will never forget that fear, that powerlessness, that feeling of helplessness. I hate that feeling, I hate that feeling of being pale and powerless!"

Bai Xuyuan raised his eyes full of tears and looked at Zuo Qing.

Zuo Qing looked into the distance, in addition to mountains and mountains, the Xinmang Continent was much bigger than the Xiluo Continent where he was born, and he couldn't see the sea at all, but Zuo Qing seemed to see the sea, the other side of the sea, the place where he was born.

Zuo Qing continued: "On the other side of the sea, there is the smallest continent, its area is not comparable to the other two continents at all, called Xiluo Continent, I was born there, our entire village has lived there for many years and generations, but that day ......"

Zuo Qing told Bai Xuyuan about his past unreservedly, when he talked about his sorrow, the two cried together, and when he talked about the interesting story of going to the house to uncover the tiles when he was a child, the two laughed together.

"Our experiences are so similar. After listening to Zuo Qing's speech, Bai Xuyuan muttered.

Then, Bai Xuyuan told her origin.

Bai Xuyuan's ancestors have made a living by singing opera, her father is the current head of the opera troupe, and their family lives in the countryside of Zou Jieguo, but usually his father will take the troupe to perform everywhere and walk the rivers and lakes. On the side of the road outside Qianling Mountain, the old man in the dead armor was her father, one of the young people was her own brother, the other young man and middle-aged man was her father's apprentice, and the old man among the thorns was her grandfather.

According to Bai Xuyuan, they were passing by here that day, but they met Lin Shuai and others, Lin Shuai saw that Bai Xuyuan was good-looking, and in the middle of the dispute, Lin Shuai took out a pitch-black stick and shook it in front of several men, and those people immediately convulsed, bleeding to death......

Zuo Qing said: "We have all lost our loved ones, and it was the master and senior brother who saved me, so I treat them as relatives." You can stay here in the future, we are relatives. ”

Bai Xuyuan was silent, his eyes were filled with tears, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay!"

On the west slope, two "people who are both fallen people at the end of the world" found each other, they would cry, laugh, open their hearts to each other, and two lonely hearts warmed each other.

When the sun rose to a very high level, Xiang Wan, Xiang Ting and Guan Ming found them, Bai Xuyuan's heart opened, he was no longer so restrained in speaking, and followed the two senior sisters.

Looking at Bai Xuyuan's departing back, Zuo Qing said solemnly: "I should do something!"
