Xie Ling woke up at about three quarters of Yin time, the days are short and the nights are long in winter, and the sun has not yet risen at this time, she has slept enough in the past two days, and now she wakes up without any sleepiness.

On the bedside was the dagger that Chu Liuxiang found for her. After she lay down last night, she found that there was a gap on it, which should have been made by Chu Liuxiang when he rescued her.

This gap does not affect the use of this hair-blowing dagger, but Xie Ling still couldn't help rubbing the gap with her fingertips for a long time, as if there was a similar gap in her heart that couldn't be repaired.

But she thought, this is better than broken.

She rubbed her temples, trying to expel the figure that had been lingering in her mind all night, but the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't do it. In the end, she could only turn over in pain and hug the quilt.

"...It's not even a broken relationship." She buried her head in the quilt, raised her hand and hit her head hard.

No matter how hard it is, life still has to be good, not to mention the New Year's Eve, if she is crying, the whole Hefangzhai may not be able to live in peace.

So after letting herself be buried in the quilt to vent her anger for a while, Xie Ling got up decisively and went to wash up.

It's rare to be at peace when cooking, but when taking the dishes, I habitually took a lot of Chu Liuxiang's portion. After realizing it, I couldn't laugh or cry, and almost broke a bowl.

Fortunately, no one else knew about this episode. After carrying the things out of the kitchen, Xie Ling had returned to her nonchalant appearance.

Xie Xing lay there with a face that didn't get enough sleep, frowning, and opened his mouth when he saw her come out, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Where are Lord Leng and A Xue? Have you gone to practice swords so early?" Xie Ling asked him and Lu Xiaofeng.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it this morning." Xie Xing poked Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder, "Have you seen it?"

Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Ximen seems to be still in the room?"

"Huh?" Xie Xing has lived here for so long, and he has never seen him not leave the room at this hour, "Are you sure?"

"When I passed by, I heard someone talking inside." Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands, "It should be talking to Senior Leng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Xue and Ximen Chuuxue also came to find him, Xie Xing didn't have anything to say, he picked up the noodle bowl in front of him and concentrated on eating.

Miraculously, no one spoke again during the meal, but compared to this, Xie Ling cared more about the fact that Leng Xue seemed to have something to say, took a bite and looked at her, but just looked at her without saying a word.

Originally, she planned to ask him after the meal, but in the middle of the meal, she heard a gentle and rhythmic knock on the door from the front.

When she brought Huaxiyun who had finally recovered from her illness Huamanlou came to the door to pay New Year's greetings, Leng Xue had already gone to practice swords with Ximen Chuuxue.

Hua Manlou had been ill for a while, and his face was still a little pale, which made people feel distressed, but meeting Lu Xiaofeng and Xie Xing again obviously made him very happy, and the chat never ended.

Xie Ling sat at the side and poured tea for Huaxiyun, the two chatted for a while, Huaxiyun suddenly looked around, and asked with some doubts: "Is Xiangshuai here?"

"He's gone." Xie Ling twitched the corners of her lips, "He left yesterday, did Young Master Hua find him for something?"

Hua Xiyun shook his head: "It's just that I didn't see him and asked casually."

A person who has mixed up with him in the officialdom can naturally observe his words and demeanor, so even if Xie Ling simply said that he was leaving, Hua Xiyun was keenly aware that she didn't want to talk about it, so she easily exposed it. past.

In fact, he came here mainly to take his younger brother out to relax, and happened to bring Xie Ling the delicious wine that she had praised last year.

Xie Ling was quite surprised when she received this birthday plus New Year's greetings, "You are too polite."

"It's not something expensive, anyway, it was made by my third brother for fun, so it's hard for you to like it."

Given the wealth of their family, even if the young master Hua was really making it for fun, he must have used high-quality materials, but Xie Ling felt embarrassed to refuse Hua Xiyun's kindness, so she went to pack a few boxes Pastry for him.

"I don't have anything else to say to Playboy, and I hope Playboy won't hold you back."

"There are so many people in this city who can't buy it at this time, how can I dislike it." He winked at her.

"That's good." She breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Lu Xiaofeng, who was bragging to Huamanlou that she had met the legendary Li Feidao. Sensing her gaze, he turned around and made a face at her.

They chatted happily, Xie Ling naturally invited the two brothers to stay and have dinner together, but Hua Xiyun refused after pondering for a while, "There is a very important guest at home at noon, I have to go back, next time. "

Although Xie Ling hasn't had much contact with him, she also knows his character, and it's very important for him to use it. It seems that if he doesn't go back, it will make people feel rude, so she can't force it, " Then next time."

The hijacking had just passed, and she was not in the mood to go shopping, and after seeing off the Hua family brothers for dinner, she started to do nothing again.

It was only at this time that she regretted that she shouldn't have closed the shop for so long. If she was busy making pastries right now, she probably wouldn't be able to stop thinking of Chu Liuxiang every where in the house.

This state is too annoying, but she also knows that she can't get rid of it for a while.

Leng Xue only saw her after the sparring with Ximen Chuuxue. She was sitting on the other side of the pool, with one foot touching the somewhat frozen water, her hand resting on her chin, and her eyes were vacantly looking in their direction.

Although he knew that she must be in a daze and didn't necessarily see him, Leng Xue still lowered his head subconsciously. He still had the palm book that Chu Liuxiang brought over last night in his arms. He had seen the notice that Chu Liuxiang wrote to Hefangzhai. , so I recognized at a glance that the words on it were all written by Chu Liuxiang himself.

Chu Liuxiang probably didn't intend to hide it from him, so she told him exactly what she was doing, and asked him to teach Xie Ling this palm technique, but make sure that Xie Ling didn't know that it was left by him.

Leng Xue also knew Chu Liuxiang's intentions in doing this, so although he was a little embarrassed, he still complied.But after agreeing, how to talk to Xie Ling?

She must have wondered why a swordsman like herself suddenly wants to teach others how to palm?

What's more, everyone in the world knows that the three most powerful traits of a Bandit Commander are lightness skills, hidden weapons, and palm skills.

Ximen Chuuxue didn't take it seriously, "He's not the only one with great palm skills."

Cold-blooded: "..."

"You just need to teach sister." Ximen Chuuxue said a few more words, "She doesn't know much about Jianghu."

For some reason, Leng Xue felt that it was right to believe him.

It just so happened that the two of them had already finished their sword practice and they could go around to find Xie Ling.

As Ximen Chuuxue expected, when Xie Ling heard that Leng Xue said that he would teach her a set of palm techniques, although she was very surprised, she was only surprised.

"It can be used for self-protection." He said seriously.

Xie Ling really didn't want to go elsewhere, she only thought that he wanted to do her a favor from the root because of the incident the day before yesterday, and she was moved, but she still subconsciously refused, "I... at my age, it's too late for me to learn martial arts."

"No." He shook his head, "...it suits you."

Although Ximen Chuuxue didn't like Chu Liuxiang, he still recognized Chu Liuxiang's accomplishments in martial arts. He believed that what Chu Liuxiang specially left behind must be useful to Xie Ling, so after seeing Xie Ling's reaction, he also said: : "It is indeed something my sister can learn."

Even the future sword god said so, she originally only had five points of faith but could become eight points of faith.

It just so happened that she also lacked something to do that would allow her to focus on nothing else, so she agreed after thinking about it, "Then... please trouble Mrs. Leng."

Learning martial arts is indeed not something that can be accomplished overnight, and she has no foundation, so the first step is always more difficult than others.

Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang's palm technique was originally designed for her, and it has already relieved her a lot of burden.

The bitterness is cold-blooded, when correcting her movements, he will inevitably touch her hand, and every time he touches it, he can't help but secretly glance at Xie Ling's expression, for fear that she will be unhappy.

But seeing her indifferent appearance, I couldn't help being a little disappointed.

He had seen a scene where Xie Ling turned her head unnaturally even with a smiling look at Chu Liuxiang.

Maybe this is the difference between liking and disliking, he couldn't help thinking.

Knowing that she started to learn martial arts, Xie Xing and Lu Xiaofeng also came to watch a cold-blooded on-site teaching very curiously. Unlike Lu Xiaofeng, Xie Xing, as an apprentice taught by Chu Liuxiang himself, even faced some students who had been changed by Chu Liuxiang. The moves are also recognizable, not to mention that there are some moves that Chu Liuxiang and him used when they dismantled the moves.

It couldn't be more obvious who wanted to teach Xie Ling this palm technique.

He asked his master whether he liked his sister or not, and the answer he got was yes, and judging from the amount of time his master took care of his sister, that answer must not be false.

But the master left anyway.

Seeing him looking at it for a while, Lu Xiaofeng showed an extremely depressed expression, and was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." He flattened his mouth, grabbed a dry dog's tail grass and ravaged it to vent his anger.

"But having said that, I only knew that Senior Leng's sword is very powerful, but I didn't expect him to be able to do this." Lu Xiaofeng said again.

Xie Xing really wanted to shake his shoulders and tell him that Chu Liuxiang asked him to teach him!

Ximen Chuuxue also heard Lu Xiaofeng's words, and glanced at Xie Xing calmly, the two exchanged a knowing look, and stopped looking at each other.

Xie Ling learned for ten days in a row before finally being able to do two tricks with Leng-Blood's hand. This was in the state of Leng-Blood's release of water and using only one hand. This gap that was invisible to the naked eye made her feel like a puddle. The mud that cannot support the wall.

"...Maybe, I'm really not suitable for learning martial arts." She covered her face and sighed in pain.

But learning martial arts also has other benefits. In the past ten days, apart from cooking, eating and sleeping, she has almost been practicing this palm technique. The one who left was tossing and turning unable to sleep.

Even for the sake of this effect, she felt that she had to grit her teeth and learn.

Leng Xue also encouraged her: "Just practice more."

He spoke so earnestly and firmly that Xie Ling felt ashamed to be lazy. Fortunately, her arms and wrists got used to this kind of practice intensity, and the feeling of being too painful to lift like in the first two days was no longer there. Appeared.

With such a mind-consuming thing to do, the time seemed to go extremely fast, and it was Shangyuan in a blink of an eye.

Shangyuan is a big festival, and the level of lanterns and festoons in Yangzhou City is even stronger than before the Chinese New Year. The reason is very simple, because Shangyuan is also an annual lantern festival.

The place where the lanterns were viewed was not far from Hefangzhai, Xie Xing and Lu Xiaofeng thought about going out to play, they hadn't been out much during the whole Chinese New Year, Xie Ling was quite supportive, "Go, will Axue go?"

Ximen Chuuxue looked at her incredulously, "Sister, are you going?"

Does this mean that if she goes, he will go?

Originally, Xie Ling was too lazy to move, but after hearing his question, she immediately responded, "I'll go too."

"Okay!" Lu Xiaofeng was very happy, "Sister, I'll take you to eat the sugar-fried chestnuts next to the tower!"

"Okay, okay." She let Lu Xiaofeng hold her hand, turned to look at Ximen Chuuxue, and stretched out her other hand, "Shall we come together, Axue?"

Ximen Chuuxue nodded, "Okay."

They all went over, so it's not easy to leave cold-blooded alone in Hefangzhai.

Although Xie Ling felt that with a cold-blooded personality, she might not like this kind of occasion, but she still asked, "Do you want to go with Mr. Leng?"

Leng Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Okay."

Xie Ling had been to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but it was already three years ago. At that time, she couldn't bear Xie Xing's begging and took him there. Unfortunately, she didn't have much money, so she bought the fancy snacks He only took one bite and gave it all to Xie Xing.

Fortunately, there are no worries about money now.

However, the Lantern Festival was still too lively, it could almost be described as an empty alleyway, Xie Ling was a little worried that the group of them would get separated.

Facts proved that she was right to worry. When she reached the foot of the tower, Lu Xiaofeng's figure had disappeared into the dense crowd. Xie Ling tiptoed to look for him for a while but couldn't find him.

Seeing the worry on her face, Xie Xing comforted her: "He is the most familiar with this area. Don't worry, sister. At most, he will go back by himself after shopping."

Just after the voice was over, a bunch of people rushed over, Xie Ling subconsciously reached out to grab Xie Xing's hand, "Be careful!"

Those people were supposed to be going up to the city tower to occupy seats to watch the final fireworks of the lantern show, so they all squeezed forward desperately, and when they turned back, Xie Ling couldn't even find the figures of Ximen Chuuxue and Lengxue.

Xie Xing let out a long breath, complaining all over his mouth, "Where can't you watch the fireworks, do you have to crowd them with so many people?"

"Okay, you were arguing to go up." Xie Ling held his hand tightly, "Don't let go, if you get separated, I'll come out in vain."

Fortunately, after turning around and finding the candied chestnut stand that Lu Xiaofeng mentioned, they really met Lu Xiaofeng who was the first to get separated because he was running too fast.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't have a single coin on him, yet he had already asked the old man for a catty of fried chestnuts in sugar. When he saw her coming, he rushed over, "Sister, sister! Come and give me the money!"

Xie Ling angrily counted the money out of her purse, took the paper bag of chestnuts, and tasted one, it was really very sweet.

"It's delicious!" Lu Xiaofeng looked up at her like offering a treasure.

"Delicious, of course delicious." She peeled one and threw it into his mouth.

The child was like a little squirrel when he was eating, so cute, he asked her while eating, "Did Ximen and Senior Leng also get separated?"

"Yes, there are too many people." Xie Ling sighed, "There will be more in a while, and it may be difficult to find them."

"It's okay, they will definitely go back when the time comes." Lu Xiaofeng quickly ate chestnuts one by one, and looked up at the tower on the top while peeling the shells, "Sister, do you want to go up to watch the fireworks?"

Xie Ling waved her hand indifferently, "There are so many people, I'll forget it."

"Then let's walk along the moat." Xie Xing made a suggestion that everyone could accept.

The moat is full of lanterns of various colors, each one is very delicate, and there are vendors selling lotus lanterns that are placed in the river. Xie Ling was stopped several times along the way, and finally got impatient. bought one.

The smiling old woman probably saw that she was a girl, and after collecting the money, she said to her, "Young girls come here every year to buy lotus lanterns, write their sweetheart's name on them and put them in the river, so that the next lantern festival will be a blessing." If you can swim with your sweetheart, you might as well give it a try."

Xie Ling did not believe in this kind of feudal superstition, but seeing a group of girls squatting by the river eagerly looking at the lotus lanterns drifting away with the current, she felt a little emotional for a while.

"Whose name does my sister want to write?" Lu Xiaofeng asked when she saw that she was holding the lotus lantern and did not move.

She just came back to her senses and shook her head, "...Don't write it, I'll let it go."

Probably because she was too impious, her lamp was blown over by the wind after a while, and the candle sank into the water, and the faint light went out instantly, hiding in the darkness.

Xie Xing was dumbfounded, "...this is too ineffective!"

She spread her hands, "Anyway, no one's name is written, it doesn't matter."

After saying this, she heard a laugh from the side, and subconsciously turned her head to take a look, only to see a man in fox fur covering his mouth, noticing her gaze, and cast a kind look over her.

Xie Ling didn't know this person, and was not interested in talking to him, so she stood up and took the hands of her two younger brothers and left.

The time to set off the fireworks is approaching, and those who failed to make it to the top of the city tower also calmed down, standing quietly by the river watching the lanterns and chatting.

The three of them gnawed on a candied haws each, and stood in front of a huge Jade Rabbit lantern waiting for the fireworks.

The sound of fireworks rising into the sky is very loud, but it is really beautiful when it blooms on the sky. Xie Ling raised her head and looked at the colorful halo, as if she heard someone behind her shouting to herself, "Miss Xie!"

Although she wasn't sure if it was an illusion, she still turned her head.

Leng Xue was standing there at a distance of about three feet.

She was still biting the last candied haws in her mouth, unable to speak, so she smiled first, raised her arms and waved towards him.

Fireworks were in full bloom in the sky, and the Jade Rabbit Lantern also shone brightly behind her.

And the appearance of her smiling with half of her face puffed up is probably more brilliant than fireworks and lanterns.

"What are you laughing at? The girl you are trying so hard to please is not looking at you." The young man in fox fur who had already run back to the other side of the river was very puzzled by the bamboo horse's expression.

Chu Liuxiang, who was holding a folding fan, just shook her head, "Let's go."

"You don't want to meet by chance?"

"What a coincidence." Chu Liuxiang sneered, "Okay, I'll come if you want me to, and you've seen him, let's go."

The author has something to say: Chu Liuxiang: If I write my name, it will definitely not be blown up
