Alternative Jianghu Adventures

What kind of person is Xia Cunxiu?

In the eyes of others, Xia Yun's temperament is completely inherited from Xia Cunxiu.Although they are not biological fathers, the two people's extreme "beaten-up" dispositions are exactly the same, comparable to biological father and daughter.

In Xiao Xiayun's view, this man always puts on a smiling face, and always lives half-jokingly in this world that is not very friendly to everyone.Obviously, as an assassin, what he does is to kill people, but he always looks relaxed like going out for an outing, so that Xia Yun once thought he was doing serious work.

As if everything is as it should be.

Killing people half-jokingly, teaching martial arts half-jokingly, half-jokingly telling Xia Yun the travels to various places to kill or relax as bedtime stories.

And deeply rooted in Xia Yun's heart, "he is not the only one who behaves like this, it is normal for people like this" - so Xia Yun's first reaction when he saw the three paw prints on the reef was not like Qiao An As alert as the moon.

This is the Xia Cunxiu Xia Yun saw.

But in Fanjia Village, the man who traveled abroad and listened to Fan Er's story seemed to be another person.

That was before meeting Xia Yun, when he was still young.

Compared with the later commoner who likes to sit on a wicker chair in summer and shake a cattail fan and talk nonsense, the person in Fan Er's mouth is more in line with the world's recognition of assassins. Know.

There was a coldness all over her body that rejected people thousands of miles away. If Xia Yun insisted on describing her as a person, she could only give the image of the first day of junior high school.

It's just that the first day of junior high school made her feel more vaguely gloomy and hatred-although it was not aimed at Xia Yun-but it was still uncomfortable.

Later, at Yu Ying's house, the past caused by the wooden sign that said "people with the surname Xia and dogs are not allowed to enter" only proved that even though the gap between Xia Cun's revisions and changes was so large, "Xing Chivalry" and "Enchanted Skills" These two features remain the same.

It's just that it became even more shameless later on.

As a child, Xia Yun didn't have time to see the previous side of Xia Cunxiu, and his master died in the internal struggle of the sect.Over the years, her impression of Xia Cunxiu has become less and less. If there is anything she can really worry about, it is the book left by Xia Cunxiu after his death, which records all kinds of strange things that he "stolen" from nowhere. "Come to the "Shan Hai Jing" of the exercises.

And now, Xia Yun has contacted all the news about the deceased master that she heard intentionally or unintentionally, and she can't help but start to have a slight resurgence of interest in this man in her memory-this feeling comes from her. When he started to learn Xia Cunxiu's unfathomable martial arts, it had gradually dissipated.

What is it that can cause such a major transformation in such a person?

"Compared to this, I care more about your master's route."

Qiao Anyue pulled Xia Yun's thoughts back from the memory.

Qiao Anyue quietly looked back at the two children sitting around the campfire - after experiencing the ups and downs at sea and Xia Yun's intimidation, the two children couldn't support themselves and fell into a deep sleep after eating coconuts.

It was already late at night.

Most of the fire has been extinguished, and only some not-so-bright flames are left huddled in the firewood, licking the roots of the firewood indistinctly.

The night at sea is much darker than imagined.Without the light of the fire, most of the moon was covered by the gradually rising sea fog. Only the blue algae under the feet allowed the two to barely see each other's face.

The night was so terribly quiet that it seemed that Qiao Anyue's voice was exceptionally clear just now.

Qiao Anyue analyzed one by one: "Fan's Village, Lixi's Yu's family, and now three paw prints have been found in this place... Don't you think your master is following the same route as us?"

Qiao Anyue continued: "Perhaps you still remember what he said when we first met Cheng Zhe on the merchant ship. Someone once drew a map of the ends of the earth."

"My surname is Xia." Xia Yun responded, "It's my master."

Unexpected determination.

Qiao Anyue was a little surprised. Originally, she thought it would take some time for Xia Yun to agree with this point of view. From this point of view, Xia Yun's acceptance was much higher than she imagined.

Xia Yun said helplessly: "I'm not stupid! I really didn't think of him in my first reaction, but it's not difficult to guess if you think about it carefully?"

How can there be such a coincidence in the world?The combination of many coincidences is not as simple as a coincidence.

"He's been here before." Xia Yun repeated again, with a serious expression, "by chance? Or by necessity?"

Did he get involved unintentionally like them, or did he search for it purposefully like Cheng Zhe?

If it was the latter, what was he looking for?If the purpose is unimportant, what has he discovered, whether it is the former or the latter?

Or, this place is the inflection point of Xia Cunxiu's temperament change?

Xia Yun suddenly had such a thought, but he didn't dare to think about it again.

But once curiosity is aroused, is it so easy to disappear?Now she exudes a wave of excitement that is ready to move - if she was full of hostility towards everything on the island during the day, at this moment it is more about exploration and curiosity.

She had never looked forward to tomorrow morning like today.

"Xia Yun, you should take a good look at your expression now." Qiao Anyue stared at Xia Yun's face and couldn't help reminding.

There was an arrogant smile on the corner of Xia Yun's mouth that he couldn't easily detect, his brows and eyes were slightly raised in uncontrollable joy, he was quite a pretty little beauty in the blurry night.

There was a dash of wild adventure in this man.It doesn't matter if he was a knight-errant when he was a child, or he went around assassinating as a tree when he grew up, even if he finally hides in the world, he is doing the business of licking blood with the tip of a knife.

She didn't choose this kind of life, but she enjoyed it—although she had a heavy responsibility, she had to admit that she took it all on her own initiative.

"What?" Xia Yun raised his eyebrows, and asked rather arrogantly and thoughtlessly: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Qiao Anyue nodded with sincerity.

Why doesn't this person play his cards according to the routine? !

Frightened by Qiao Anyue's serious tone, Xia Yun's originally teasing thoughts disappeared instantly.She coughed twice, and felt her earlobes were slightly hot - fortunately, she couldn't figure out why in the dark night where she couldn't see her fingers.

Qiao Anyue had a panoramic view of Xia Yun's reaction, and suddenly felt a "quite interesting" impulse, so she emphasized it again, "It's really beautiful."

"Okay, I know I'm good-looking!" Xia Yun blurted out in a panic. She realized that her tone was not too friendly. When I said that sentence, my heart was actually a little excited. The expression on my face changed several times before I gradually calmed down.

Xia Yunhan said with a cold face, "Don't you think it's a kind of ridicule when a good-looking person says others are good-looking?"

Qiao Anyue was stunned for a moment before realizing the twists and turns in Xia Yun's mouth. Is this a disguised compliment?

However, Xia Yun didn't give Qiao Anyue a chance to speak, and continued: "Okay, stop nagging here, go to bed quickly, I will watch the first half of the night, and leave it to you in the second half of the night."

Qiao Anyue was almost pushed back to the side of the fire by Xia Yun. In the dark night light, Qiao Anyue's expression was not clear.

If you can see it, you will see that her expression is no longer the indifferent look when she just recovered her memory.The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, although it is not very obvious, maybe it is not a "smile" at all in the eyes of others, but the whole brow is stretched, and it is no longer the cold indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

When exactly did it start?

no one knows.

By the time Qiao Anyue realized this, it would have become like this - but maybe it had become like this, that Qiao Anyue would realize the subtle changes in herself.

The moment she closed her eyes and meditated, a thought suddenly flashed into Qiao Anyue's mind.

She had asked Xia Yun more than once before what he thought of her?

So in her own heart, what does she think of Xia Yun?

Qiao Anyue fell into a deep sleep with such a question in her arms, but she couldn't figure out why.

It wasn't until the dawn of the next day that she was gently shaken awake by Xia Yun.

"Breakfast is for you, I'll sleep first." Xia Yun yawned and instructed inarticulately.As soon as she spoke, she fell into Qiao Anyue's arms.

Qiao Anyue looked at Xia Yun who fell asleep and was speechless. She stared at Xia Yun's tired face, and she knew in her heart that they had been in a state of high tension since they came from the sea.Tired all day during the day, vigil at night, and his internal strength is still sealed, no matter how hard it is, he can't stand it.

What can I do?

Qiao Anyue fell into deep thought.

Cheng Zhe, who was lost in thought and suffered both physically and mentally, was sitting on the rock and listening to his stomach singing.

I was trapped in the reefs last night, and the final result of the discussion was to climb up first on the first day of the new year, to see if I could find a way to find a rope and bring people back up.

But now the night has passed, and there is no news yet on the first day of the new year.

Cheng Zhe couldn't help thinking: Is this man dead?

Thinking of this, he desperately denied this conjecture—if he died, he probably wouldn't be able to live.It's better not to have a crow's mouth.

However, as the sun gradually came out, the vision that was not clearly seen at night finally opened up.Cheng Zhe was finally able to study the three traces that could not be distinguished as animal claws or human marks.

Restless hands fumbled around, and Cheng Zhe accidentally touched a small rock that seemed to be movable—it still seemed to be connected to the reef, and it couldn't be seen without looking carefully.

He moved the stone subconsciously, only to hear a loud bang!

A huge hole wide enough for two people slowly appeared in front of the stunned Cheng Zhe.

Before Cheng Zhe could make a sound, he felt that the rock he was lying on automatically sent him into the cave, and then the cave door quickly closed!A series of things happened so suddenly that when Cheng Zhe realized that he was locked in the hole, it was useless!

Cheng Zhe: "..."

I hope that when I come back to look for him on the first day of junior high school, I don't think he fell into the sea.

As Cheng Zhe thought so, the only hands that could move began to stroke the way out in the darkness.Soon he discovered that this "cave" seemed to be more than just a "cave".

This is... a secret passage?

Cheng Zhe's hands made him realize that this "cave" seems to be a one-way passage, and the stone steps going up to nowhere are making a broad road under his hands.
