defend the truth

After cleaning the house, An Lan moved a chair to the porch, bathed in the spring breeze, and leisurely flipped through the scrolls in her hand.

Thanks to her husband who has a more traditional thinking, saying that building a house is a man's job, she can watch from the sidelines, but don't get involved.

In fact, Li Weizhen didn't allow An Lan to do a lot of heavy work.It's not only a pet, but also I don't want to raise her to be too a tomboy.Can cook, you can also say virtuous.But what if a girl learns how to kiln-fire, brick-laying, mining, blacksmithing... If she is too bold and rough in the future, and my buddies are too angry?This is always awkward!Anyway, as a gentleman, he couldn't accept it.

If it weren't for hunting as part of his practice, if he caught a live prey, he could also learn about raising from Xia Chan.Li Weizhen would definitely consider telling An Lan: Don't play bow hunting, let's do some embroidery!

After reading the book, An Lan yawned in less than a quarter of an hour.But she still wanted to maintain her mental concentration, so that she didn't notice that there was a scarlet sword light flashing across her head, flying towards the stream ahead.

The stream where An Lan and Ye Tong used to stand and practice boxing, now also has Zhao Hongxue playing swords there.It's really more of a playful nature than a show-stopping exercise.

"Wh... bang!"

"Oops! My waist!"

Zhao Hongxue was stunned by the sudden scene in front of him, and even dropped the wooden sword in his hand to the ground in fright.Of course, if a person suddenly falls from a tree, I am afraid that most people will react in this way.Moreover, if she hadn't subconsciously taken two steps back when she heard the movement in her head, she would probably be the one lying on the ground now.

Zhao Hongxue bent down, stretched out his hand to the person who suddenly fell from the tree, and said with concern: "You are the person who has been living in that room? If I remember correctly, you are called Duan Tianqing, right?"

The unlucky guy who tried to control the sword again, flew to the side of the stream and finally lost control, and fell in front of Zhao Hongxue's eyes, was undoubtedly the freckled boy.

The freckled boy saw that Zhao Hongxue stretched out his hand to him, intending to give him a hand, so he quickly turned his head away, feeling humiliated and indignant, "I can stand up by myself."

As he spoke, the freckled boy slapped the tree trunk next to him, and with a bang, another crutch fell from the tree.Standing on his crutches, he slowly stood up, turned around while bouncing around, and said to Zhao Hongxue, "I scared you just now, I apologize to you."

Zhao Hongxue nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that you fell from such a high place, so it's really all right?"

The freckled boy lowered his head and laughed at himself: "Look at me now, what can happen? How bad can it be?"

Zhao Hongxue felt a little embarrassed and nervous, not knowing how to answer.Subconsciously, he grabbed his left arm with his right hand and rubbed it gently back and forth to relieve his uneasy emotions.After all, this was the first time she had talked with this depressed teenager in the memory she currently had.Moreover, it is still in such a way of being alone.

Zhao Hongxue couldn't find a topic at all, but the freckled boy had doubts and wanted to say, "Senior Sister Zhao, you really don't remember the past?"

Zhao Hongxue smiled subtly and said, "Everyone has asked me this question many times before and after. Even if someone else asks me, my answer is still the same, I don't remember."

The freckled boy focused his eyes and nodded solemnly, and said with a sigh: "Yes, you in the past were not so easy to talk to. At least, when I was practicing and learning in Sanyang Peak, I rarely saw you smile, not even a fake smile. .”

"Look at you and me now. One has completely lost his cultivation and doesn't know his past; the other has a disabled body and is plagued by nightmares. Our Sanyang Peak disciples are all suffering!"

When Zhao Hongxue heard the freckled boy talking about his past self, a self who seemed different from other people, he suddenly became interested and at the same time worried.She said carefully and softly: "Did I treat people very badly before? Did I say something bad to you? "

The freckled boy replied seriously: "You are just colder. In my impression, you don't seem to have said a few words to me, and you can't remember whether it is good or bad. In fact, it is the same. As an elder It's normal for favored personal disciples to be superior to others, and to be a bit cold and airy."

Then, the young man couldn't help murmuring in a low voice: "It's really rare for Senior Brother Li to treat juniors as brothers without putting on airs."

Zhao Hongxue felt a little disappointed when he heard that the young man was not familiar with his past self, but it can be regarded as finding some fragments to complement in the evaluation of just a few words, which is not considered to be nothing.

The freckled boy suddenly let out a long sigh, and said with a bitter smile, "It can be said that both of us have passed through the gate of hell! In fact, if I could choose, I would rather not remember anything. The good and bad of the past, there is no Instead of those, you can relax. I envy you so much! You can start your second life!"

Zhao Hongxue also returned a wry smile, they are both degenerates in the world, it's not because you look at me well, and I look at you well.Is it possible that if you speak out the pain in your heart, can the other party really empathize with it?Although, if she can also choose, it is really hard to tell which is better than losing her memory.But she always feels that there are important people and important things that must be remembered.

If I sighed, if I said too much, I was afraid that the surrounding trees would lose all their leaves.Zhao Hongxue bent down to pick up the wooden sword, turned around and swung it a few times, then turned to the freckled boy and said, "Since we have been studying at the same place before, can you teach me swordsmanship?"

The freckled boy was stunned for a moment, then his face quickly turned cold, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Go find someone else! People like me who can't walk a few steps on crutches can't teach you anything. Brother Li His swordsmanship is much better than mine, go find him! He likes to help people so much, he must be willing to teach you."

Zhao Hongxue's eyes flickered, as if feeling a little helpless and lost, and he said calmly, "Him? He promised to teach me, but he is really too busy. Everyone seems to be centered on him, and he has to be the center of everyone. I'm busy with things. I feel that his time is always not enough, so I really don't dare to bother him anymore. "

The freckled boy said with deep empathy: "Yes! In my impression, he has always been like this. He stands out from the crowd, but he is very suitable for living in a group, and there is always no shortage of helpers around him. Even without a group of old people , but soon a group of new people will be attracted by him. By his side, in fact, it is very difficult for you and me to be irreplaceable, which is not easy!"

The young man was a little sad, feeling self-reproached and powerless, and he quickly turned the topic on himself, "I really can't teach you how to use a sword, because even I can't use a sword anymore, please ask Gao Ming Bar!"

After all, the freckled boy leaned on his crutches and wanted to turn around and leave.

Seeing the back of the young man turning around, Zhao Hongxue still didn't give up, and hastily made a last resort: "You said you can no longer use the sword, so how did you fall from the sky just now? Are you the Qi trainer they say? You can still fly with a sword, so why can't you use a sword?"

The freckled boy said in a hoarse voice: "Yes! I am a Qi trainer, a Qi trainer who fell from the sky, what qualifications do I have to wield a sword? Do you know what spiritual power is? Do you know what Qi Fu is, Meridians? Do you know which three Yang meridians are the three Yang meridians that our disciples of the Taiyi Sect Sanyang Peak major in? Do you know the difference between the three Yangs of the feet and the three Yangs of the hands?"

"I lost a leg, and at the same time lost an important meridian! Three yang samadhi, one yang is missing, everything has changed! It is like a three-legged tripod, one leg is missing, and it can no longer stand up It’s gone. My spiritual power, it’s as if it doesn’t belong to me anymore. I can’t practice anymore, I’m just a useless person, you know?”

The boy's back trembled a little, as if he was holding back his sobs, "You don't know this, I shouldn't tell you this. I just hope you understand, I really can't help you."

The young man with red hair fluttering like maple leaves in late autumn, with the help of crutches, struggled to lift his remaining left leg, and was about to flee back to the small room where he escaped from the world.In the stream behind him, a flying sword with a scarlet spine was still slanted in the water, steaming with wisps of water vapor.

"Aren't you going to take your sword?" Zhao Hongxue hurriedly asked.

The freckled boy replied casually: "If you can pull it out, then it's yours."

The freckled boy took two more steps, and suddenly frowned, just because he heard the sound of treading water behind him, and recalled the inappropriateness of his words just now.

"Don't touch it!" The freckled boy yelled and turned around, but it was really difficult to cooperate with one leg and one crutch. He almost fell, and what he saw was already a step too late.

"what!"

Zhao Hongxue had already stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and was soon burned by the hot temperature like coals, his palms were flushed red, and tears rolled down his face.

Just as the freckled boy felt guilty, his face suddenly became extremely shocked.I saw that Zhao Hongxue took a deep breath, and reached out to hold the sword again, and with both hands, she pulled the sword... out!

This time, not only the fair skin of Zhao Hongxue's hands turned red, but even that glamorous and pretty face was flushed red, as if he was drunk or ready to drip with blood.

"Aren't you going to die?" The freckled boy was furious because of his concern. While shouting violently, he subconsciously raised the sword finger of his left hand, tried his best to run the magic formula, and called the flying sword back to his side with a whoosh.

Zhao Hongxue plopped down on his knees in the shallow stream, and buried his hands in the cool water as much as possible to reduce the tingling sensation of burning flesh.Her words were crying, but her voice was full of emotion: "I want to help you get the sword back, doesn't it mean that the sword is still there? You are still alive, why did you give up this sword?"

"I think, since you chose it, you can't disgrace its fiery edge. It didn't do anything wrong, and you shouldn't treat it like this! If a sword has feelings, it will also want to see more From this world, right?"

The freckled boy only felt a sense of suffocation rushing from his chest to his forehead. He had a lot of words that could refute the naivety of the woman in front of him, but he was choked by this feeling of suffocation.He suddenly smiled miserably, but there was a brilliance in his eyes, and said: "Where is the sword, is there a person?"

The freckled boy suddenly pressed his palm down, and the flying sword hanging by his side immediately lowered and hung horizontally in front of him.The young man jumped up and stood on one foot, but his figure was completely motionless, steady and stable!

With a whoosh, the red light soared, and the young man raised his sword again, higher than the crown of the tree, higher than the mountain peak!In Zhao Hongxue's eyes, that figure that was getting smaller and further away, the sound that fell from the sky echoed in the stream!

"Hurry up and go to Senior Sister Xia, and heal your hand! When the injury on your hand is healed, come and learn swords from me!"

"But I'm just preaching, don't expect me to teach you the tricks. If you don't have a good understanding, you can't learn it. Don't blame me for not asking you to hire someone else!"

Zhao Hongxue smiled sweetly, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.However, she saw the light and shadow of the flying sword faltering suddenly, and the light fell sharply, and her heart tightened suddenly; she also saw the red light enter the forest, startled the flying birds, and then climbed up quickly again, the brilliance was even greater, and she burst into tears again. laugh!

The sword intent is invisible, stand in the heart of the sword!It means that the sword is there, and the person is there!
