[Comprehensive martial arts] Cannon fodder woman

Ever since he heard Xiao Shishilang's name from Ding Peng, Lu Xiaoman was restless and couldn't sleep well all night after tossing and turning.

What happened to Yang Guo made her understand that NPCs also have feelings. She can no longer deceive others as before and act as if nothing happened. Xiao Shishilang is also one of the characters who makes her feel full of guilt.

In contrast, Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque were not affected at all, and the former asked Ding Peng very gossip:

"I heard that senior Xiao is suave and suave. He looks better than Pan An. He was once one of the ten most beautiful men in Jianghu. It's a pity that he has never been close to women. Except for a little friendship with Feng Siniang, he treats all other women without false words. This is the rumor But really?"

Ding Peng was a little embarrassed: "Master said, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive... So when I saw Mrs. Liu, I was very wary of her."

Lu Xiaoman was even more embarrassed: "Is that so... Your master's concept is really unique."

On this day, the four "talked very happily", and Ding Peng, who was congenial to Xiao Yu'er, also became their friend.It's just that Lu Xiaoman always felt very uncomfortable when facing him. In order to avoid him, she left a message early the next morning and went up to the mountain to collect herbs by herself.

In the early morning, there is water vapor in the mountains, the air is fresh, and the breeze is gentle, making people feel relaxed from the inside out.

Lu Xiaoman stopped and walked with the medicine basket on his back, and with a small hoe in his hand, he squatted down to the side of the road from time to time to dig.This place is just the outskirts of the mountain, often visited by hunters or pharmacists, and there are not many herbs that can be collected, so she just came here for a walk.

At this time the weather was still cool, and I didn't sweat much after walking the mountain road for more than half an hour. After a while, I came to a small stream. Lu Xiaoman planned to rest for a while, so he put down his back basket to wash his hands first, and then wrung out the handkerchief to wipe When I wiped my face, I immediately felt refreshed.When she was about to get up, she saw a few clusters of bright yellow flowers growing by the stream, so she picked a hairpin and put it on her hair, facing the water, looking at the shadow and making a pose, very comfortable.

Enough with self-admiration, Lu Xiaoman found another seedling from the medicine basket, picked up a small hoe, dug a hole near the stream, and buried it carefully.This is an Araceae plant that she discovered when she was climbing the mountain just now. It's just that it didn't grow in a good location, lacking water and being exposed to the sun, so it might not be easy to survive.Now she has transplanted it near the stream, where the soil is moist and surrounded by trees, so it can grow as much as it wants.

Lu Xiaoman leisurely squatted on the ground digging and filling the soil, but she didn't know that there was a person on a big tree behind her who was quietly watching her every move.

Ten days ago, Xiao Shishilang received a distress letter from his apprentice, and set off for Zhenjiang, but although he came, he never showed up.Firstly, the little apprentice won the competition and was still alive and kicking, so it was obviously not a big problem; secondly, compared to a crowded and complicated town, of course, the unrestrained countryside is more to his liking, since everyone is here, why not enjoy it This beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

That day, he had nothing to do and was lying on the tree sleeping, when he suddenly heard someone walking under the tree, he didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a while he realized something was wrong.Then as soon as he opened his eyes, he met Shanglu Xiaoman's pretty side face exposed to the dappled sunlight.

Xiao Shishilang held his breath for an instant.

Is it hallucination?It seems that this hallucination has not appeared in a long time.

Half-dream and half-awake, his mind was still not sober, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream, he just kept staring at the girl under the tree, he couldn't bear to take a look away.

what is she doing?Xiao Shishilang observed silently for a while, and couldn't help curling up his hands and feet. Although his breathing returned to normal, he still breathed very lightly, not daring to make any movement, for fear of breaking the beautiful scene in front of him.

It's so cute...the look of wearing flowers is cute, and the look of planting seriously is also so cute, no matter how you look at it, it's too cute.He just watched from afar without doing anything, his heart seemed to be filled with sweet and sour bubbles, and it seemed like a hundred butterflies were dancing in his stomach.Xiao Shishilang subconsciously blocked his mouth, worried that if he opened his mouth, those butterflies would fly out of his throat.

But how could this dream be so realistic, he could feel the cool breeze and the warm sunshine.

After what seemed like a long time, and what seemed like only an instant, he finally realized that he was not dreaming.

Over there, Lu Xiaoman has had enough rest, and he packs his bags and prepares to continue his journey. Here, Xiao Shishilang will wake up like a dream.Shock, disbelief, excitement, sourness, ecstasy and other complicated emotions were intertwined in his heart. Seeing that the little girl who looked exactly like Lu Xiaoman had gone away, he hurriedly followed.

Then Xiao Shishilang watched her dig some herbs along the way. Sometimes the herbs grew on steep mountain walls or in ditches covered with thorns, and she took the trouble to pick them herself. A heart often ups and downs, raised and lowered from time to time.

The more he observed, the more he felt that this person resembled Lu Xiaoman, not only in looks, but also in behavior, and some inadvertent little habits were exactly the same as hers, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

How could two people who are not related by blood be so similar, could this be her daughter...?

Thinking of this, Xiao Shishilang suddenly became angry and flew into a rage--well, she has such a big daughter! !

He had waited for 18 years and hoped for 18 years, but the other party had already been married as a woman and had given birth to a child for another man. Now that the child has grown to such an age, how can this not make people feel sad and indignant!

Xiao Shishilang clenched his hands, his face was as gloomy as water, and his chest trembled slightly. He wanted to yell, destroy, and vent to his heart's content, but he just stood there motionless, clenching his teeth tightly, as if his body was standing there for him. He wailed.

But watching and watching, his anger and hesitation and sadness gradually receded, and his heart was filled with compassion again.

Yes, this little girl must be her daughter, only she can raise such innocent and lovely girls.

His eyes became as gentle as water, as if caught in some memory, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

This is her daughter...Xiao Shishilang thought, although she cruelly abandoned herself at that time and married someone without saying a word, it seemed that she no longer needed him, but he could still do something for her , such as taking good care of the child for her.

This little girl is alone now, she must have experienced the same experience as her mother back then.

At this moment, Xiao Shishilang suddenly understood his mission.

He deeply exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and looked around, the green hills in the distance were rolling and overlapping endlessly, and all he could see were lush greenery, and the shadowy shade of trees shrouded his head like a thin layer of light. The green yarn is like a soft green cloud, shining dimly in the sun.

——Green is the color of life.

After the morning passed, Lu Xiaoman felt a little tired, so he found a clean flower field, spread a layer of cloth on the grass, and took out some food one after another, preparing for a picnic on the spot.

When going out, she never wronged herself. The dry food that ordinary people take when they go out is either steamed buns or flatbreads, or dried meat stew, but she is different.Before leaving the city in the morning, she made a detour to a dim sum shop to buy some freshly baked pastries: jujube cake is moist and dense, soft and delicious; white sugar rice cake is soft and elastic, full of rice fragrance, and the more you eat it, the more chewy; Refreshing and fragrant once opened.

Take two bites of the pastry, sip the wine, and then sigh contentedly.

She just enjoyed the food alone, admired the beautiful scenery, tasted the fine wine, the breeze was blowing, intoxicating, the wild flowers in the bushes were bright, and the colorful butterflies fluttered.

Xiao Shishilang, who felt wholeheartedly that "the female goose went down the mountain alone to practice, really suffered", looked at her in silence for a long time.

——The daughter didn’t suffer, but lived a good life. The one who suffered seemed to be him who was sneaking in the dark and still hungry.

Xiao Shishilang, who was secretly observing, had a complicated face, while Lu Xiaoman finished his lunch in a leisurely manner, and then sat on the spot to rest for another quarter of an hour, sorting the herbs in the basket while digesting.The noon sun is hot and warm, and it makes people feel more comfortable when it shines on the body.She was picking at the herbs slowly, and when she was feeling a little drowsy, she suddenly smelled the smell of barbecue.

Someone is barbecued nearby?

This is really strange, but it smells good.

Lu Xiaoman didn't want to confront strangers, so he hesitated a little, then got up, packed his things and prepared to leave.

She erased the traces left by herself, carried the bamboo basket on her back, and slowly left along another mountain road.At this time, a pair of dark eyes were watching her drifting away from behind.

There are treasures everywhere in this mountain. After walking for a long time, she found another cluster of money grass growing gratifyingly.Lu Xiaoman put down the belongings on his back, picked up a hoe, rolled up his sleeves, and squatted on the field to dig.

After working without distraction for a while, Lu Xiaoman came back holding the fruits of his labor.She wiped off her sweat and took a sip of water. When she was sorting her things, she suddenly found a few bright red wild fruits beside the bamboo basket.

Lu Xiaoman was stunned for a moment.There was obviously nothing on this land just now, but she remembered clearly that she deliberately found a clean grass area to put her luggage.

It's a bit weird... a supernatural event in broad daylight?

Although this kind of fruit is indeed edible, and the taste is sour and sweet, but after all, the origin is unknown, so she didn't even touch it, and walked away without seeing it.

Then she continued to collect herbs, and everything around her was as usual. The scene just now seemed to be just her illusion.However, when she snorted and took back a handful of hong teng from the rock wall, she found a roasted rabbit leg wrapped in taro leaves next to the basket. It was golden and oily, exuding bursts of tempting aroma .

Lu Xiaoman: "..."

Hmm... In fact, think about it from another angle. Although this is the martial arts plane, since so many messy small worlds are already mixed up, it seems reasonable to add a part of the background of "Liao Zhai" or "Sou Shen Ji"?

Is it really?

Lu Xiaoman fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.

After this incident happened inexplicably, she didn't have the heart to collect herbs anymore, so she went straight down the mountain and went back home.

When leaving, Lu Xiaoman kept her eyes on the whole time, afraid that she might see something she shouldn't have seen. Of course, she still ignored the delicious roasted rabbit leg.

Xiao Shishilang, who followed behind, looked distressed, scratching his head and thinking: Why doesn't she eat?Don't like to eat fruit, and don't you like to eat rabbits?Alas... the daughter is so difficult to raise.

He followed Lu Xiaoman down the mountain, into the city, and took time to visit his apprentice. During the period, the master and apprentice talked about the conflict with the Demon Cult not long ago. Ding Peng said with lingering fear:

"The devil's religion's methods... are too ruthless. They poison and chase, and they don't leave any way for people to survive. If it weren't for the lucky ones who rescued you, your apprentice and my little life would have been lost."

"They can't do anything to me, so they will attack you, a group of rats in the gutter!" Xiao Shishilang was also very angry, his handsome face was so cold that it was scum.After a while, he calmed down again, patted his apprentice on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, if you survive a catastrophe, there will be future blessings, and I will wait for Master to avenge you!"

"That's a good thing," Ding Peng raised his face and smiled, then carefully took out a porcelain bottle and a page of paper with petite characters on it, and asked around, "Master, you have a lot of experience, do you know the origin of these two things?" Is there a history?"

Seeing that he is so precious, Xiao Shishilang wanted to tease him, but he took a look at the small porcelain bottle himself, and immediately stood up from the chair in a gaffe:

"Jiuhua Yulu Wan! You, where did you get this thing?"

"It turns out that this elixir is called Jiuhua Yulu Pill..." Ding Peng's eyes lit up, and he immediately told all his experiences. When it came to the excitement, he was also fascinated and couldn't help himself, "I really don't know what it is. Immortal character, I was so hurt that day that I didn't see it clearly, but in a daze, I always feel that it is a girl's house... If, if there is a chance, I can thank her in person..."

Xiao Shishilang didn't say anything, he read the paper with the healing secrets on his own, and folded it silently.His complexion has changed several times, and his heart is sometimes sad and sometimes happy, I don't know what it feels like:

"The one who saved you is the descendant of the Xiaoyao School. The Xiaoyao School is illusory and transcends the common world. They don't necessarily care about things that the world thinks are extremely precious."

He tapped the small porcelain bottle containing Jiuhua Yulu pills with his fingertips. Once opened, it gave off a strange fragrance, and a little smell made people feel refreshed.But such a rare thing was given away by her casually, it can be seen that she really didn't take it to heart.

"You can repay your favor in any way you want, but there is only one thing you must keep in mind—" Xiao Shishilang paused, and then continued, "People of the Happy School will never linger in the world, and one day she will leave. If you can't control your heart and fall in love with her, you will only be hurt in the end."

Hearing this, Ding Peng seemed to realize something, and asked euphemistically:

"Master, how do you understand it in such detail? Did you ever..."

Before he finished speaking, his master knocked on the head angrily, and the latter was silent for a long time, sighed, and finally said in relief:

"Forget it, everyone has their own destiny, why should I worry about it?"

Xiao Shishilang, who was determined not to ask for trouble anymore, skipped this incident, and only asked his apprentice to put away two things.After that, the master and the apprentice chatted happily and drank freely, and they both got very drunk.

When he woke up the next day, Ding Peng found that his master had already left in a cool way, leaving only a few flamboyant characters on the table:

——Disciple, go as a teacher!
