Folding the halberd to seal the cold

The girl brought back by Shen Luzhi was named Xiaoyan.

In fact, not long after Qin Yan took her back, Xiaoyan woke up from a drowsy state.

It's just that the person is still timid, like a frightened deer, just looking at Qin Yan with wide eyes, and it takes a long time to reply to her.

From her mouth, Qin Yan also asked some questions, basically the same as what Gu Qingxi said.

"Do you really have no relatives in your family?" Qin Yan asked cautiously while feeding her medicine.

Xiaoyan lowered her head, with tears in her eyes: "Our family is originally from other places, and my father is a blacksmith who keeps himself safe. Who knows that a gang of bandits came yesterday, and they must take away the knife forged by my father. Daddy won't let me go!" Give...they will kill...uh...my mother dragged them before she died, and I managed to escape..."

"It's okay, don't cry, don't talk." Qin Yan saw Xiaoyan crying sadly, couldn't help feeling a little sad, and quickly patted her back, comforting her softly.

He suddenly lost his parents in one day, what a poor child...

Seemingly thinking of something in a trance, Qin Yan looked at her with even more pity.

"Shen... command?"

Ye Feng's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Qin Yan walked out of the inner room in surprise, only to find that Ye Feng had arrived.It's just that Shen Luzhi next to him is even more strange. He has been outside the door with a stiff face. There was a slight embarrassment on his face.

"you……"

"Cough." Ye Feng coughed lightly, his eyes flicked to the long package in his hand.

Qin Yan instantly understood Ye Feng's meaning, so he calmly lowered his expression and turned to look at Shen Lvzhi: "Lvzhi, do you have something to do?"

Shen Lvzhi lowered his eyebrows, and had no choice but to step into the room: "I... have a look at her."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and put down a bottle of ointment on the table: "This bottle of ointment was brought back by Bai Zhen from southern Xinjiang before, and it is very effective for bruises."

But his gaze only glanced at Xiaoyan hastily, and he turned around to leave.

"Law of..."

"Thank you Brother Shen."

Just as Qin Yan was about to ask to keep him, he heard Xiaoyan thanking him softly behind him.

Shen Lvzhi's back froze, but he only left a sentence: "You should take care of your wounds." Then he left without looking back.

this person...

Qin Yan couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, his face was cold and his heart was hot, he obviously felt guilty but he didn't want to say it, he awkwardly left after delivering the medicine, it was completely Shen Luzhi's character.

"Xiaoyan, don't worry about it. This big brother Shen Luzhi is actually a nice person, but he is a bit serious... You can treat him as a paper tiger." Qin Yan stuffed the bottle of medicine into Xiaoyan's hand, coaxing her with a smile.

"Xiaoyan knows that Brother Shen is a good person, because Brother Shen and the others saved Xiaoyan's life." Xiaoyan nodded innocently, showing no concern at all.

This little girl is really cute.

But... She mentioned just now that her father was a blacksmith?

Qin Yan glanced at Ye Feng, smiled and continued to Xiaoyan: "It's really a coincidence, this brother Ye Feng is also good at casting, and he is a master!"

Ye Feng smiled and nodded to Xiaoyan.

"Really..." Xiaoyan looked at Ye Feng with admiration in his eyes: "Then, can Xiaoyan go to see Brother Ye Feng in the future?"

"Well... yes." Ye Feng agreed, but after thinking about it... In fact, he is also living under the fence.

The little girl looked at him more eagerly, as if looking forward to it.

Probably trying to find some sustenance from him.

"Xiaoyan, you should go to bed early after taking the medicine, and I will come to see you later. Stay here with peace of mind, don't be sad anymore." Qin Yan took care of Xiaoyan to lie down, and then tucked her in the quilt, tenderly road.

"En." Xiaoyan obediently closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Only then did Qin Yan lead Ye Feng to the long corridor behind the house. She knew that Ye Feng had come to talk to her about making swords. It just so happened that Shen Luzhi was so focused on Xiaoyan that he didn't notice them.

"But what happened to the process of casting the sword?" Qin Yan worried.

"No." Ye Feng shook his head, he opened the long package, revealing a piece of clay-colored sword model, hesitantly said: "I have almost made Yuqing Xuanming's sword model, but there is still one detail that needs to be asked Miss Qin Yan."

"what happened?"

"The hilt of this sword is slightly worn... But looking at the original traces, it seems that there is a word engraved... I have carefully identified it, but I still can't guess it. In order to restore this sword as much as possible without any mistakes, I also want to ask Miss Qin Yan, do you know what character was originally engraved on this sword?"

Qin Yan was startled, his eyes darkened.

"What was the original word... Actually, it doesn't matter anymore."

Ye Feng looked up at her, and found that Qin Yan had a slight sadness on his face, but he didn't know how to persuade her.

"Then...don't engrave characters?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.

"...Otherwise, it's better to engrave a word cloud for me. The cloud of the cloud." Qin Yan was silent for a while, then answered in a low voice.

"Okay." Ye Feng didn't ask much, just nodded and wrote down.

"Ye Feng, thank you very much." Qin Yan caressed the blade of the sword carefully. The lines were fine and ingenious. One could imagine the look of the sword after it was recast.

Ye Feng just wanted to speak, but Qin Yan continued: "Actually... I am very lonely. I grew up in awe-inspiring atmosphere, and the only thing that accompanied me since I was a child was the sound of practicing in the martial arts field day after day." Her eyes gradually became a little bit Empty, as if caught in the memories of the past: "Because I lost my parents since I was young, I have no sense of security... I always like to follow my brother, wherever he is, I will go there. Today I saw that timid Xiaoyan She looks sad, crying sadly, and I can't help but feel a little sad. I used to be at her carefree age...and suddenly lost everything. When I was 12 years old, our Qin family suddenly fell into a case involving treason. Almost all the houses were raided. My elder brother and I were replaced by the housekeeper with his own children, and we managed to escape. However, in this world, we have no relatives ever since."

Ye Feng looked at Qin Yan with pity, but he didn't know how to face Qin Yan at this moment.

He knows very well that after all, the so-called hidden wounds are the most painful to uncover by himself.

"My brother is only one year older than me, but since then, he has used his entire shoulder to support me. He took me to escape, and led me into the heroic spirit. He gradually became less and less talkative, but he used his own strength to support me. The method behind the treason case was found out. It was a staff member whom my father trusted and valued who framed him. For ten years, he still overturned the case for his father. On the day I returned to General Qin’s mansion, my brother took me to the university. There were several knocks on the door. That day... I was crying like Xiaoyan, and then crying, my brother hugged me and burst into tears. How many days and nights of fleeing, how many times did my brother Taking me to escape from death, we all gritted our teeth and never shed a single tear."

Qin Yan was quiet, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"Because my father taught us that the children of the general family only shed blood, not tears. As long as you live in this world, you should understand the responsibilities on your shoulders, guard your family and country, and protect the Quartet."

"But he himself... ended up being framed, his family was ruined, and even his bones had no place to bury him."

"The charge of treason and treason will be crushed."

"Many years later, we finally stood upright in front of the dilapidated general's mansion, but we didn't even have a place to worship our parents' tombs... Even though we have returned with all our glory now, it still hurts... We can't get over it in this life. My brother no longer trusts others easily, and I always feel insecure. I thought that my brother is the only one who truly protects me in this world." Qin Yan stared down at the sword, and the deep sadness in his eyes finally melted away. A ray of tenderness: "This sword is really important to me. It bears all my courage except my brother. But I never thought that one day, this broken sword will be restored in your hands."

She looked at Ye Feng seriously, and said sincerely: "No matter what kind of situation you came to Haoqi, when you nodded and told me that you were willing to recast this sword for me, I have never been so grateful. You bring it back. Although my brother has always been very kind to me because I have no father or mother by my side. But there are some things on his mind... that he never noticed. This sword was once the most important thing in my heart. Although I asked you for help , I just told you about the existence of this sword... But Ye Feng, I really... thank you very much."

"Thank you for being willing to help me restore this sword, and thank you for promising me to keep it secret."

She didn't know why she said these words to Ye Feng today, maybe it was because she felt empathy for Xiaoyan's tragic life experience; maybe it was something that had been buried in her heart for a long time, and she was so depressed.Even though she knew that she shouldn't talk lightly and deeply...but she felt that it would be less burdensome to confide with Ye Feng than to confide in embarrassing words to a group of relatives and friends.

But Ye Feng was unexpectedly silent.He lowered his eyelashes, covering his entire expression.

He didn't know what to say to comfort Qin Yan, after all, it had been many years.

Who can live without suffering.

The stern expression on that person's face suddenly appeared in his mind, it turned out that he had been burdened...not less than him.

Qin Yue's life experience, he had also heard Shang Lu and the others mention it, but the rumors were always indifferent, and they couldn't compare to the blood dripping that everyone had personally experienced.

I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling towards him, but I didn't know what it was.

After a long time, an inaudible sigh finally fell from Ye Feng's lips.
