a ruthless swordsman

36.

The maidservant guarding the corridor led the way for the two of us with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes, half-kneeling in front of the box drawer, took out a bottle of wound medicine, and said softly: "Young Master Chang, please rest for a while, Mr. Jiang, this servant will help you Take the medicine."

I took the gold-plated medicine bottle with a laugh, winked at the maid and said, "No, no, I'll do it."

Otherwise, how can I talk to Jiang Yuan!

Those who can be transferred to serve in front of others at the group meeting must be extremely clever attendants, the maid immediately nodded slightly, and did not forget to close the door when she turned back to leave the wing.

I was very familiar with applying medicine for people. Xie Ling has been bumped and bumped since he was a child, but he still can't stand the pain, even if he scratches the skin the size of a fingernail, he will scream.There are all kinds of bottles and cans in my room all year round, as well as rolls of bandages.

I held the medicine bottle and said sincerely: "Brother Jiang, my senior brother has offended me so much today, I hope you don't want to argue with him, I apologize to you on his behalf."

"Of course not," Jiang Yuan shook his head generously, and looked sideways at me, "Chang Shaoxia, your senior brother looks about the same age as you, so he's still a child."

This is euphemistically saying that he is ignorant, if Xie Ling hears these words, he will be so angry that his face will turn cold again.

37.

Now is not the time to talk about Xie Ling.

Why did he attack so suddenly, I will have plenty of time to question him when I get back.

Jiang Yuan's situation just now showed that he was old with my father. I was still thinking about how to ask the question in a casual tone, but he rushed to speak before me.

"It's also a coincidence. When I met you in Cangzhou, I never thought that you would be Uncle Chang's child."

"Well, Brother Jiang, do you know my father?" Among the close friends with my father, there is no one surnamed Jiang.

He didn't speak, but nodded.

I was about to ask again, when my father coughed outside the door.

38.

to be honest,

It was really deliberate.

39.

I don't know if my father's sudden departure will cause commotion among the people present.

He stepped in openly, and drove me out logically.

I:"……"

Seems more subtle.

40.

I'm not brave enough to listen to my dad's corner.

Not long after, Wu Huaijin followed my father's orders and led me back to the martial arts arena.

The third senior brother didn't draw the lottery very well, it will be his turn to compete in the evening, and now he has no free time.He had been in the limelight at the Qunhaohui a few years ago, and he had a good appearance again. He just walked away with a wave of disciples looking for him to learn martial arts, and a group of peers who wanted to make friends with him rushed forward. .

I stood on tiptoe and took a look from a distance. I really didn't have the confidence to squeeze into the crowd.

Xie Ling's side was not much better, the disciples brought by Jianzong surrounded him in an airtight manner, lest senior brother Xie would have any further quarrels with others and attract attention.

I silently stood behind Xie Ling, and gave him a blow on the back of the head.

He found me early in the morning, but he still showed an extremely aggrieved expression, "Axue..."

When the disciple next to me saw me coming, he stopped staring at Xie Ling like a dog looking at a dead child, and saw me and Xie Ling slip out through the back door.

I cut straight to the point: "Where did he provoke you, why did you turn swords against each other the first time we met?"

Xie Ling said awkwardly: "I didn't intend to hurt him, I just wanted him to accept the move."

"Didn't he say that he is not good at martial arts?"

Xie Ling raised his eyebrows: "He lied to you!"

"..." I stared into his eyes for a long time, trying to distinguish whether the words were true or not, and then asked another question: "Brother Ling, how do you know that he lied to me? Are you and Brother Jiang also old acquaintances?" ?”

I don't think he and Jiang Yuan are old friends.

There is nothing about Xie Ling that I don't know.

As expected, Xie Ling faltered for a long while, but was unable to say how ugly he was.

In fact, I already have an answer in my heart.

In view of the fact that he has had a lot of fun with the third senior brother recently, this guy probably saw that Jiang Yuan and I had a good chat, which delayed him from showing off in the ring, so he took his anger out on strangers.

There is one thing to say, even though Xie Ling's martial arts are outstanding among his peers, his mentality is sometimes inferior to that of an eight-year-old child.

Let go of Liao, it is only right and proper to be a junior brother Rong Rong.

41.

There is nothing wrong with the left and right, the competition between the three senior brothers is in the evening, and it is enough to come back early when the time comes.

Xie Ling asked the servant of Lingxiao Villa for a horse, and took me around the city for a while.

Jianzong is stationed in the south, my mother is from Jinling, and she is good at cooking and making some sweet snacks on weekdays. Over time, I have gradually developed a delicious and sweet belly.

We came by boat, and the boatman was cheerful and eager. Xie Ling asked him where Lishui people like to go for dinner, and he came to all the major restaurants and restaurants in the city in an easy-to-recognize dialect, and wrote The address slip slipped into my hand.

Most of the small restaurants guided by the boatman follow the tastes of the locals. The waiter in the shop has a smiling face and enthusiastically reports the names of the fancy dishes. I picked up a few dishes that I could understand and waited for him to serve. up.

Xie Ling kept adding vegetables to my bowl, but he didn't move his chopsticks very often.

I began to suspect that he was trying to hold me down.

I finally took a bite of the chicken leg, thought about it, and called Xiaoer over to pack a copy for me.

Xie Ling said, "Axue, do you like this crispy chicken very much?"

"It's okay," I wiped the oil stains around my mouth, and took the teacup from him, "Brother Jiang."

Xie Ling lowered his face: "Villa Master Qin will not be short of food for him alone!"

I rolled my eyes at him: "It's not just to make amends for you."

Xie Ling was speechless, and reluctantly took the food box from the small second-hand center, and led out the borrowed pony from the backyard.

He took care of me to eat and drink enough, so that it was inconvenient to bump on the horse, so he held the rein and walked a street with me.

"Axue, have you ever thought about..."

"Ok?"

Xie Ling hesitated to speak, hesitated for a long time but did not ask anything.

I just thought that he had a childlike heart again, and didn't provoke him to say unfinished words, just said: "Let's go."

42.

It was past noon when we returned to Lingxiao Mountain Villa, and the competition in the martial arts arena temporarily died down. The two of us returned the pony to the stable, and planned to go directly to Nanke Yuan to rest.

Before stepping into the courtyard gate, Xie Ling frowned.

"Why did Jiang come here?"

I took a closer look, isn't Jiang Yuan standing under the tree?

"Brother Ling, you go back to your room first." I grabbed the corner of Xie Ling's clothes, for fear that he would not be able to restrain his ready temper, "I'll go back after I give him the things."

It was not easy for Xie Ling to be sent back to the wing, I stood up straight and spoke to Jiang Yuan with my head held high.

Trying not to look like a child.

Jiang Yuan lowered his head slightly: "Chang Shaoxia."

It looks like I'm failing.

Putting the food box on the stone table next to me, I said sincerely: "Brother Jiang, the boatman chatted with me when he came here, and he once said that this crispy chicken is a must in Lishui City, so he brought one back from outside. Try it?"

This person can tell at a glance that he is not short of money. After thinking about it, it sounds more sincere to run errands and bring food.

Besides, this crispy chicken is really delicious.

I can't believe he doesn't like it.

Jiang Yuan only glanced at me, but his eyes fell on me, seemingly dazed and scrutinized, but it was only in an instant that he returned to a gentle look.

I began to reflect on whether being too attentive would attract people's suspicion.

The wind passed by the green trees in the courtyard, and the fallen leaves fell on my left shoulder.With a smile on the corner of Jiang Yuan's lips, he stretched out his hand to pick off the fallen leaves, and said, "Just now I remembered some old things, and I was in a daze for a moment."

I didn't want to inquire about his privacy, so I smiled implicitly.

On the contrary, Jiang Yuan intentionally confided, and said slowly: "I came to Lishui City once before, and promised a little friend to take him to eat crispy chicken someday, but due to chance, I have not been able to fulfill the original promise."

Seeing his sad face, I thought he touched some past that he didn't want to mention, so I hurriedly comforted him: "There will be a chance."

He smiled and accepted my relief.
