I am also courting Bai Yueguang today

Wen Xia glanced at Ruan Shi, "It seems that you know him very well."

"Where is it?" Ruan Shi brushed back the strands of messy hair on his forehead, "It's just that in these years, because of the family's troubles, it is necessary to have 'dealing' with Palace Master Lang a few times. As time goes by, it will naturally Learn more."

There are so many unknown things hidden in this light and shallow word of Jiaodao, Wen Xia has no intention to explore, nor does she have any intention to explore.In his heart, there is nothing pleasing about the Ruan family of Lone Star Zhuang and Ruan.

So he left the dungeon after saying "I'll do it for myself", but suddenly Ruan called him: "Senior."

Wen Xia stopped, "What else is there?"

Ruan Shi staggered up from the ground while leaning on the wall and walked to him, grinning and said: "Senior, don't you still plan to live in Yingtianchang Palace?"

Wen Xia's tone already contained some displeasure, and said, "Take care of yourself, I don't bother you with my affairs."

"This junior has no right to ask senior about your affairs. Senior don't need to be angry." Ruan Shi said, "This junior just thinks that both of us are prisoners of the Lang family. Even if senior has some personal relationship with Palace Master Lang, please don't act rashly." .”

His thoughts were seen through, Wen Xia did not respond, but looked at Ruan Shi with long eyes.

Ruan Shi looked at Wen Xia without hesitation, the dilapidated folding fan in his hand was still shaking once and for all, and there was something in his words: "It's too late, and there is no point to turn back. Even if you do it, it will be futile."

Wen Xia heard the meaning hidden in Ruan Shi's words, and said: "It's futile to do it, and it's easy to catch if you don't do it."

Ruan Shi paused for a moment when he heard this, and then he folded his fans and smiled, "Who said that if you don't do it, you will be caught without a fight?" He silently read a few words to Wen Xia, and then said: "With you here, senior, it is impossible for him not to come of."

Wen Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ruan Shi walked slowly to the exit and pushed the iron door open, "Senior Wen Yang, where do you live? This dungeon is not reserved for people, let this junior go to your room tonight..." He fell silent suddenly.

Wen Xia raised her eyes and looked along the opening and closing of the iron gate.Holding a white paper lantern in his hand, Ruan Zhi stood in the dim corridor, his face was half clear and half blurred, and he didn't know how long he stood outside.

Ruan Shi endured the pain and leaned against the edge of the door, "How much have you overheard?"

The white paper lantern in Ruan Zhi's hand went on and off for a moment, and said, "All of them."

"Then you have a talent for eavesdropping, and we haven't been able to find out if you've been hiding here for so long." Ruan Shi didn't know whether to be sarcastic or praised, and reached out and knocked on Ruan Zhi's head, "I'm done eavesdropping, hurry up Go inform your Uncle Lang, what are you still doing here? Be a stone statue?"

Ruan Zhi was expressionless. After putting the lantern in his hand on the ground, he took out two bottles of medicine from his arms and handed them to Ruan Shi, "Brother, medicine."

Ruan Shi's eyebrows twitched, and he didn't care about the pain on his body. He stood up straight and said in a loud voice: "I didn't see you obstructing me when I was tortured by your Uncle Lang. Now I'm half dead. You can come and deliver these things now." ,is it necessary!"

Ruan Zhi was unmoved, and didn't even change the gesture of delivering the medicine, and said slowly: "Brother, you made a mistake, you should be punished."

Ruan Shi swallowed his breath in his chest when he heard the words, and was stunned for a long time before he recovered.Wen Xia'er pulled open the entire iron door, walked to the door, glanced at Ruan Zhi, walked away from him.

"Senior Wen Yang!" Ruan Shi shouted, "Where are you going, why don't you pick me up."

Wen Xia stopped, turned around, and said, "Ask your younger brother if he would let me pick you up."

Ruan Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then patted Ruan Zhi's hand that was blocking him because of the action of delivering the medicine, "Get up!"

There was no wave in Ruan Zhi's dim eyes, and she stood sideways in front of Ruan Shi, separating Ruan Shi and Wen Xiaer, "Brother, do something wrong. If you want, shut it up, come on."

Veins loomed on Ruan Shi's forehead, and the folding fan in his hand creaked. He pointed at Ruan Zhi's face and cursed: "Stupid thing! You really were poisoned by that cruel thing like Lang Chan!"

Wen Xia heard the words, and took advantage of the situation to look back and forth at Ruan Zhi, but didn't notice the sign that the man's mind was being controlled again.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor.Ruan Shi's scolding sound drew in the two disciples of Yingtianchang Palace who were guarding the entrance of the dungeon. The two disciples were stunned when they saw Wen Xiayou and the three of them. Said: "Who! How dare you come here to rob prison!"

Wen Xia looked sideways at Ruan Shi and remained silent, as if she didn't intend to make a move.Ruan Shi pointed at the two disciples with the broken fan in his hand, and said bitterly: "Which of your eyes saw that I was robbed! I clearly got out by myself!"

The two disciples were startled, and after looking at each other, one of the disciples pointed at Wen Xia'er, "You didn't rob him, so what's your purpose here!"

Wen Xia said, "Prison robbery."

Ruan Shi was taken aback, and the two disciples were also taken aback.

Ruan Zhi picked up the white paper lantern on the ground and slowly walked out from behind.Seeing that he moved freely and was not kidnapped by Wen Xiaer and Ruan Shi, the two disciples looked a little dazed, "This is..."

"Him, shut up." Ruan Zhi said, pointing to Ruan Shi at the side, and then pointing at Wen Xia, "He, Lang, Palace Master, friend."

Ruan Shi heard Ruan Zhi treat him like this, and immediately threw the broken fan in his hand at Ruan Zhi, "You little white-eyed wolf! What kind of Gu did Lang Chan feed you to make you look like this?" !"

Ruan Zhi remained motionless while the fan was still hitting him, and immediately handed two bottles of medicine to a disciple, "Give him the medicine."

The disciple nodded in a daze and took it, the two put away their swords, bypassed Wen Xiaer and Ruan Zhi and walked to Ruan Shi's side, one of them took his arm and dragged him into the cell, "Let's go."

Ruan Shi was trembling with anger, accidentally pulled the wound on his body and took a few breaths of cold air, still not forgetting to curse: "Ruan Zhi, you...you little white-eyed wolf! You will punish your biological brother for treating you like this sooner or later." It's not good!"

"No, biological brother." Ruan Zhi rolled his eyes, "Yes, Tang, brother."

Ruan Shi: "..."

Wen Xia watched Ruan Shi, with a face full of astonishment and grief, being dragged back to the original cell without delay by two disciples of Ying Tianchang Palace, while Ruan Zhi walked out slowly, holding a white paper lantern. .

Wen Xia put her arms around her shoulders, and followed Ruan Zhi imposingly.The two walked out of the dungeon all the way, it was already late at night outside, another group of disciples patrolling Ying Tianchang Palace, armed with long swords on their backs, carrying white paper lanterns, wandered around the palace in an orderly manner.

As the night wind blew, the white paper lantern in Ruan Zhi's hand flickered, and the candle light went out.Ruan Zhi stopped, and Wen Xia also stopped behind.I saw Ruan Zhi took out a fire pocket from his arms and lit it, as if he wanted to relight the candles in the lantern, but for some reason, when the fire pocket reached the upper opening of the lantern, he suddenly stopped, with strange gestures It turned downwards and upwards for a while, and the floating sparks splashed on the lantern, and the whole white paper lantern ignited in an instant.

The paper and the lamp bones were almost burnt out, but Ruan Zhi was still holding the lantern in an extremely abnormal manner. Seeing that the fire was about to come towards his hand, Wen Xia'er quickly knocked out his hand from behind. lantern.As soon as the lantern touched the ground, the intensity of the fire was reduced by half. In the end, the remaining sparks on the top of the lantern flickered a few times, and the fire was completely extinguished, leaving only a burnt black lacquered lantern frame.

Ruan Zhi stared blankly at the lantern frame under his feet, and said, "It's gone."

Wen Xia looked at the back of Ruan Zhi's hand through the light under the eaves, and saw a large area of ​​redness on the back of her pale hand, but Ruan Zhi didn't seem to feel it at all.Then he asked aloud, "How old are you?"

Ruan Zhimu replied: "15 years old."

Wen Xia asked, "What's your name?"

Ruan Zhi said, "Ruan Zhi."

Wen Xia raised her eyebrows, "Who am I?"

"Lang, palace master, friend." Ruan Zhi paused, and then added: "Uncle, brother."

Who is Ruan Zhi's uncle?Of course it was Ruan Yan's uncle who was with Ruan Shi.

Wen Xia's eyebrows twitched twice, and he said in his heart that judging from the experience of contacting Ruan Zhi a few times, this child is probably mentally retarded, and if he cares about the other party in words this time, it seems that he is narrow-minded.So he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said: "I am Yun Yao's elder brother! The mad dog of your Ruan family has nothing to do with me."

Ruan Zhi said flatly, "Oh, Uncle Yun, brother."

After finishing speaking, he kicked away the burnt lantern frame on the ground and made a gesture to leave.

Wen Xia frowned and called him to stop, "Ruan Zhi, wait."

Ruan Zhi stopped in her tracks.

Wen Xia said: "You are from Lone Star Village, why do you come to Yingtianchang Palace now?"

He originally wanted to ask Ruan Zhi, who used to be Ruan Yan's side, why he now followed Lang Chan's orders to do things, but he was afraid that Ruan Zhi would not understand, so he changed the question to a simple one.

When Ruan Zhi heard this, something seemed to flicker in his dim eyes.He replied slowly: "Uncle, Uncle Yun, is not here. No one wants me and my sister. Yes, Palace Master Lang, take me and my sister in."

Ruan Zhi and Ruan Tong were mentally impaired since birth, their parents didn't like it, and they also received a lot of cold treatment in the Ruan clan.Only Ruan Shi at that time took good care of the two brothers and sisters, but Ruan Shi was still young at that time, and his parents were both dead, so no matter how much he took care of them alone, he couldn't make everything foolproof.

So Ruan Shi thought of Ruan Yan, the owner of the villa, who had some prestige in the clan at that time, but treated them very kindly to their juniors.He told Ruan Yan about this, and after Ruan Yan knew about it, he personally came to the relatives of the side branch to bring Ruan Zhi and Ruan Tong back to Lone Star Manor to take care of them, and they raised them for more than ten years.

"Uncle Yun, elder brother." Ruan Zhi said suddenly, "You have to listen, Palace Master Lang, to speak."

The night wind in early autumn had brought some coolness, Wen Xia brushed the slightly messy hair on her temples, and said flatly, "Little boy, leave your business alone."

Ruan Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and she walked away with gentle steps.

Everything was silent, and the lights in front of him seemed to dim for a moment.Too many things happened that day, even though Wen Xiaer used to be a person with a broad mind, at this moment, it's hard not to feel uneasy in his heart.

Leaning on a tree, he took out a painting from Yuchan, opened it under the mottled light and shadow under the tree, and saw the person in the painting clearly.

Wen Xia looked at the painting, sighed softly in her heart, and murmured: "Jun Wang, why haven't you come to me..."

I miss you so much.
