It was after this time that Xanth really realized the special status of Lang Ling in his heart.

Wounds and weapons are two things that are equal to life for a killer, because most of the time, they can save lives.

But he was willing to put down his weapon and distribute his wound medicine to Lang Ling.

After making this decision, he was at a loss for quite a while, avoiding Lang Ling like escaping, but unconsciously thinking about that person every spare time.He walked in the direction of Tingfeng Pavilion countless times, and when approaching, he hesitated due to some inexplicable fear.

This state has tortured him for a long time, and even Hua Yan could see that he was wrong.At that time, the man sat on it and looked at him for a long time with an inexplicable expression, so long that he thought he had exposed something.

Fortunately, in the end Huayan just asked him to pay more attention to rest, and not to go on missions in the near future.

Xanthium agreed, but he didn't have the task, he didn't know where else he could go, what else he could do.

He just wandered around the corners of every city in such a daze, feeling tired and sleepy, so he curled up under the eaves of someone's house and slept all night.

If Lang Ling could know his whereabouts, she would definitely "pick" him back.It's a pity that Langling is so busy now that he can't find anyone to follow the "Ghost Bat"'s tracks. In addition, the cocklebur is missing every day, so he just thinks that the cocklebur is lurking somewhere to complete the task.

Until one day, cocklebur lived in the woodshed of a wealthy family.When it was daylight, he was woken up by various noisy voices.He turned over and hid on the beams, touched the main courtyard with great puzzlement, and saw the festive red eyes.

It turned out to be a girl from this family who was going to get married.

Wandering between night and blood all year round, Cocklebur has never seen such a festive event.Seeing the beating of gongs and drums and the jubilation, the woman delivering the daughter-in-law covered her face and wept, and the elder brother who married the sister was silent all the way, sending the bride to the sedan chair, his heart moved slightly, and he followed.

The contingent of seeing off relatives was extremely large, sprinkled wedding money all the way, blew the brass horn, and happily walked along the street.The bridegroom officer rode on the horse and walked in the front, full of vigor, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, and was envied by everyone's eyes all the way.

Cocklebur followed all the way, walked on the beam and entered the place where the couple worshiped and got married.He watched the bridegroom lead the bride across the brazier, offered incense, bowed to heaven, earth and Gaotang, and bowed to each other. The bride and groom go to the bridal chamber where they are staying.Immediately, a group of people chattered and laughed and followed in, saying they were going to "make a bridal chamber".

The banquet was held for a long time, and the banquet was extremely noisy.The big fish and meat that ordinary people may not eat once in a lifetime are placed on big plates, not made of wood, and everyone can hold a chopstick as much as possible.

This is the biggest ostentation in a woman's life, and normally speaking, it is the most dignified and most admired moment in her life.Although it is unavoidable that there are some things that are not so perfect, for most women, there is only such a big event in a lifetime, and this is the only wedding.

Xanthium watched the whole process silently, and left quietly after the bride and groom finished drinking the wine.

This toss was from dawn to night again.Blowing by the evening wind, Xanthium looked into the distance for a long time, and finally made up his mind and walked towards Xiyang City.

As the night darkened, his figure melted into the darkness, like a lonely beast heading towards a certain distance.

Xiyang City, Tingfeng Pavilion.

Since Xanthium came here to look for him last time, Lang Ling consciously stayed in this branch more frequently, hoping that the person would come here again to look for him.

After all, for that person, the place where he has lived for more than a month is much more familiar than other places, and he will relax a lot.

But today he came here, there is another very important purpose.

The life experience of the Pavilion Master of Tingfeng Pavilion has always been a mystery in the Jianghu. Almost no one knows that he grew up in Xiyang City when he was a child.

It was a rainy night many years ago, a mother escaped many pursuits with her baby who had just turned one month old, and finally chose to settle down in this unremarkable town.She worked hard to bring up the child little by little, until the child gradually grew into a qualified leader who could shoulder the responsibilities, and finally she was willing to smile at Jiuquan, leaving the child alone to taste all the tastes of the world.

The child's name is Langling.

And today is the second year since that mother passed away suddenly.

Her tomb was built on the hill behind Tingfeng Pavilion in Xiyang City. According to her will, only eleven words "Tomb of a Perseverant Woman" were engraved.

Lang Ling personally prepared the sacrifices, brought a bottle of sake, and walked up the familiar yet unfamiliar mountain path alone.

The last time he walked on this road, he only felt that his whole body was gray and heavy, as if he couldn't move his feet. Even the darkness in the forest seemed to be full of monsters who chose to eat people.But this time, those negative and dark emotions were gone, and he walked on this road with joy in his heart, as if he was still the child who admired his mother and couldn't wait to share his thoughts with her.

He was so happy that he wanted to introduce the person he liked to his mother.

The tomb was built in a tall bamboo forest, far away from the human world, but also very close, because looking down from this hillside, one could just have a panoramic view of the prosperity of the city.

In essence, Lang Ling's mother "Luofu Girl" Dai Yuan was a quiet person, so the cemetery she chose for herself was also extraordinarily clean.But at the same time, she is strong and cannot be too far away from this world of mortals, so she has to look at her from afar after death, which corresponds to the phrase on her tombstone, "I will not realize my obsession".

Langling's deepest impression on his mother will always be her unbending spine.Although she was destroyed and discounted by the illness in the future, but when that person sits there, you can know how dignified and majestic she used to be.

But now that impression is fading.Perhaps after a long time, all he could remember was the gray tombstone in front of him.

Lang Ling placed the sacrifices one by one, lit the fire, put paper-made gold ingots and the like into the basin and set it on fire.He brought glasses, poured two glasses of wine, knelt down, spilled one on the ground, and drank the other in one gulp.

After putting down the cup, he looked at the tombstone quietly. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Mother, I'm here to see you again."

Among the flying confetti, the words on the tombstone seemed to come alive, and it seemed that someone was watching him from the scorching hot and slightly distorted air.

Langling raised his hand to brush the dust off the tombstone, and smiled slightly: "Mother, you held my hand and said, if you meet someone you like, don't worry about being filial or not. Does that count?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't count. I have taken over your son's body and I have to be responsible to him." He smiled, with a somewhat sly youthful look on his face, "Besides, if you don't settle down first, he will run away Well, I have nothing to say."

He smiled to himself for a moment, then calmed down again, as if he could really hear his mother's questioning, he said slowly: "It's not a lady from any family, it's a..."

He thought for a while, with a warm smile on his brows: "It's a big boy."

"What family? He didn't tell me. He only said that he was sold by his parents. He shouldn't have had a good life before. But it doesn't matter. Now I have passed the Ming Road with you. If I treat him badly in the future, you can scold me That’s it. Anyway, you also said at the beginning that if there is any dispute, you will definitely help the one who can control me.”

"Yeah, people in the Jianghu have high martial arts skills and a great reputation. It's luck that I can get him down. The number of people who want to get him is as much as the sand in the Yuhe River. Although he has a lot of enemies, but the wind You have also seen the development of Ge these years, so you won't be unable to protect him. I won't..."

He paused, and said very softly: "I won't be like my father, I can't even protect my own family."

After saying this, he was silent for a while, sighed, put his forehead on the tombstone, and murmured: "I know you're going to talk about me again. Forget it, don't mention him, let's talk about your future daughter-in-law stop."

"What's your name? My real name is Cocklebur, and there is a nickname in Jianghu called 'Ghost Bat', who is the number one killer in the business."

"Is it difficult to get along with? It will be a little bit at first, but after a long time, you will find that he is quite cute. I can't bring anyone here now. Let's do it next time. Next time, I will bring him to see you."

"What kind of person..."

Lang Ling hesitated for a moment on this question.He stared at the tombstone, and finally smiled softly.

"It's hard to say, but he's a nice guy, and you'll like him," he whispered. "Really, you'll like him."

He finally said enough of Xanthium, thought for a while, and added something else: "There is nothing else to say, Tingfeng Pavilion has experienced a little twists and turns, but nothing major, that guy Chi Sui is still the same, Always digging into unknown corners to collect herbs."

He straightened the messed up sacrifice, and took a deep look at the tombstone.

"Have a good time over there, mother," he said softly.

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed respectfully, stood up, and walked slowly.

When the wind blows, the embers of the paper flutter in the wind, like butterflies spiraling up to the sky and then sliding down.After a while, amidst the rustling of bamboo leaves, a figure descended gently from above, staring blankly at the tombstone in a daze.

It is cocklebur.

He didn't know this place at first, but when he met Chi Sui in Tingfeng Pavilion, the man showed him the way and told him that Lang Ling had gone up the mountain, so he followed him all the way. Ling worshiped her birth mother.He listened to what Lang Ling said up there, and now standing in front of this tomb, he was as at a loss as if he was really standing in front of Lang Ling's mother.

In the emptiness of the mountains, the tombstone stood there, as if some kind of existence was staring at him through the gray stone.There was no malice in that gaze, and maybe there was a bit of kindness unique to elders, which made his beating heart gradually calm down.

He finally took a step forward.

The author has something to say: It can be regarded as meeting the parents, right?Forget it?
