Lingsu's second crossing

Chapter 7 The Road

Early the next morning, Cheng Lingsu was sleepily woken up by Zhang Songxi's knock on the door. Zhang Songxi saw that she was not in good spirits, so she asked with concern: "Did you do it late last night? I wanted you not to rush to finish it overnight." Yes, it doesn't matter if the road is a little slower these days."

"I couldn't finish it so quickly either... It's just that it's so comfortable to hold the finished long pillow." Cheng Lingsu's eyes covered by fingers seemed to have a flash of guilt, but he pretended to explain nonchalantly.

"Forget it, I can rest in the carriage for a while, let's go downstairs and have breakfast first." Zhang Songxi thought for a while, anyway, Cheng Lingsu could only stay in the carriage, and had nothing else to do. She did it because she still had time to take a nap, so she didn't pay much attention to it, so she didn't even notice the emotion hidden on her face.

"Hmm..." Cheng Lingsu nodded and walked behind Zhang Songxi, but her eyes drifted to the rooms at the end of the corridor from time to time, and the corner of her mouth revealed a hint of schadenfreude.

Afterwards, when the two were about to leave the inn, Cheng Lingsu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why didn't you see Ji Nvxia and Bei Nvxia? They won't be leaving soon, right?"

"Probably... I didn't see the three of them. Maybe there was something urgent to do, and they left before dawn." Zhang Songxi didn't think about it, but answered Cheng Lingsu's question according to normal logic.

After Cheng Lingsu responded suddenly, he took the initiative to step into the carriage, Zhang Songxi was still acting as the driver outside, and the two continued to go to Wudang.

Generally speaking, martial arts practitioners seldom have the habit of snoozing, and practicing as soon as possible is their daily routine, but on this day, the three of them, Ji Xiaofu and Bei Jinyi, fell asleep until almost noon for the first time ever. The three of them only felt that they slept refreshedly, and thought that they were just too tired from the journey these days, so they got up very late today. After going downstairs to ask the waiter, they knew that Zhang Songxi and Cheng Lingsu had left the inn early in the morning. The three of them were silent for a moment, but Zhao Lingzhu still seemed a little worried, looking at Ji Xiaofu hesitantly.

Ji Xiaofu probably also sensed Zhao Lingzhu's strangeness, so she turned her head and asked, "Does Junior Sister Zhao have anything to say?"

"Senior Sister Ji, I don't think that Cheng Lingsu looks like a person who is very knowledgeable in medicine. I'm really afraid that Brother Zhang will be deceived by her rhetoric." Zhao Lingzhu said quickly.

"That's right! Senior Sister Ji, listening to that woman's tone of voice last night, she has a sharp mouth. Don't let Fourth Brother Zhang think that she can't lie when he sees her young, let alone a girl who goes to give Yu San How can she treat Brother Yu's treatment, regardless of whether she is capable or not, but only about the difference between men and women?" Bei Jinyi also nodded in agreement.

"Then what are you guys going to do? Follow them and go up to Wudang Mountain together?" Ji Xiaofu was not very annoyed when she saw the two talking to each other, she just asked back with a smile.

"Hey! Okay! Okay! Sister Ji, you haven't seen Sixth Brother Yin for a long time anyway, why don't we go to Wudang to visit Zhenren Zhang and the others, and see how capable that Cheng Lingsu is." Bei Jinyi heard Yan, his eyes lit up immediately, he wrapped Ji Xiaofu's arm and said.

"That's right! Senior Sister Ji, this suggestion is quite good. Anyway, we have to pass through there when we go back to Emei, so why don't we just drop by and have a look." Zhao Lingzhu also responded excitedly.

"You guys are so serious! How did Ms. Cheng offend you? From last night to now, she hasn't said anything good about her. Are you really so stupid when you think of Fourth Brother Zhang? If he doesn't know anything about Ms. Cheng He dares to take someone up to Wudang Mountain to treat Sange Yu’s wounds? Let’s not bother them, so that they don’t have to be distracted to greet us.” Ji Xiaofu smiled politely and insisted. I don't want to go around Wudang Mountain.

In other words, how could Ji Xiaofu go to Wudang Mountain to meet Yin Liting at this time?Even in the past few years, she has hardly been willing to be with Yin Liting, because she is deeply afraid that someone will accidentally reveal the guilt in her heart... Yes, because of the huge secret hidden in her heart, she still dare not nod her head in response. The big wedding with Yin Liting.

Seeing that Ji Xiaofu did not agree to go to Wudang Mountain, Bei Jinyi and Zhao Lingzhu couldn't help being disappointed, but they didn't speculate on Ji Xiaofu's thoughts, thinking that she was embarrassed to see her fiancé.

Zhang Songxi took Cheng Lingsu all the way to Wudang Mountain. On the way, he encountered a few times a pair of monstrous Mongolian soldiers who acted viciously in a small village. Whenever he encountered such a situation, Zhang Songxi always couldn't bear it and would stop to do justice for the sky. , Eradicate those Mongolian soldiers.

But the first few times, Cheng Lingsu, who only knew superficial martial arts, was worried that some blind swords would fly into the carriage, so she insisted on not staying in the carriage alone, and insisted on going out to watch Zhang Songxi kill those Mongolian soldiers. Zhang Songxi persuaded him a few times Even if it didn't help, let alone say it, because I didn't want to see her suffer any harm, my mind was a little divided. When confronting those Mongolians, it was inevitable that I felt a little tied.

Later, when I met a group of Mongolian soldiers who should have been trained all the year round and had some basic skills in their fists and feet, Zhang Songxi was surrounded and lost his mind for a while. The Mongolian soldier who led the team found Cheng Lingsu beside the carriage. He hurried to Cheng Lingsu's side.

After Zhang Songxi had just killed a soldier, he turned his head and saw this dangerous scene. He was so anxious for a moment that he wanted to go forward to save people several times, but was blocked by other soldiers one after another. He was afraid that something might happen to Cheng Lingsu. Inadvertently, it was much faster than usual, but Cheng Lingsu didn't know whether he was scared or didn't know that the danger was approaching, so he didn't even move a word.

Zhang Songxi's heart suddenly became flustered, but at the same time he killed the last soldier, the Mongolian soldier who had stretched out his hand and was about to touch the corner of Cheng Lingsu's clothes suddenly let out a scream from his mouth, and then defended in fear. Holding his hands and stepping back several steps, Zhang Songxi was very sad, but he did not forget to take the opportunity to end the life of the Mongolian soldier, and walked towards Cheng Lingsu without even leaving a moment to catch his breath. .

"Are you okay?!" Zhang Songxi looked at Cheng Lingsu anxiously, afraid that something was wrong, and there were still a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

"How could something happen to me? I'm also quite afraid of death. I always prepare for it." It's not the first time Cheng Lingsu has seen such a bloody scene, but every time he encounters it, he still feels terrified. Crazy cold sweat.

"Just now I clearly saw that Yuan soldier was about to touch the corner of your clothes, why did you suddenly scream? What kind of hidden weapon are you carrying?" Zhang Songxi was relieved when he saw that Cheng Lingsu was really unharmed, and then went to The Mongolian soldier who was stabbed to death in the end glanced around and asked puzzledly.

"I can have any hidden weapons on me, but every time we encounter these Yuan soldiers, I will hide some red scorpion powder in my sleeves first. As long as someone dares to approach me, I will immediately sprinkle them on them. Unfortunately, the previous few times You didn't let those people have a chance to get close to me, so naturally you didn't know that such a thing happened, but today this Yuan soldier was unlucky and became the first victim." Cheng Lingsu replied calmly with a smile.

"Red scorpion powder? Is that poison? When did you have this medicine on your body? And obviously..." Zhang Songxi recalled that Cheng Lingsu once said that she could make poison, but she had never seen her use it, so she couldn't remember it for a while. It's just that her method of using poison is too clever. He, who is always by her side, has never noticed it at all, and he has never been poisoned.

"I added the antidote to the tea we usually drink on the road. Otherwise, how dare I ask you to come near me all of a sudden? Don't say that if you make any mistakes, I will feel guilty in my heart. Even I myself will be accidentally poisoned by chance." Cheng Lingsu understood Zhang Songxi's unspoken confusion, so he took the initiative to tell him the answer.

"So that's the case, but it's better to use red scorpion powder sparingly. After all, as you said, if you are not careful, you will easily hurt innocent people." Zhang Songxi suddenly had a softer look on his face. Smiling, he smiled at Cheng Lingsu in relief.

There is also a reason for Zhang Songxi's inner joy, because during these days, perhaps because the two have become familiar with each other, Cheng Lingsu has gradually become a little careless because of his good-tempered appearance in front of her. Showing the pampering and capriciousness of some little girls. Although he doesn't mind her temperament like this, he is afraid that it will be his fault if she develops such an unpopular temperament. Similarly, the original thoughtfulness and care have not been lost.

Zhang Songxi's heartstrings that have been tense for many days suddenly became soft because of Cheng Lingsu's thoughtfulness, and at the same time, there was a warm feeling flowing slowly from the bottom of his heart. Knowing that Cheng Lingsu has excellent medical skills, and has lived alone for several years, in his heart, Cheng Lingsu is still just a delicate and willful little girl, and people can't help but want to take care of her. When a weak and petite girl is so thoughtful, it's just this thoughtfulness that she doesn't want to speak out to him, which makes him a little sad.

Zhang Songxi would have such an idea, because he didn't know that Cheng Lingsu's subconscious had been living alone for more than ten years, and because there was no one around her to rely on, she had already gotten used to the kind of life that had to be taken care of. All the responsibilities were shouldered, and I had to hide all my emotions alone, feeling empty and lost. I don’t know how easy it is for her to become vulnerable because of a little care from others. After all, it has been many, many years. , except for the master in the previous life, no one would pamper her so much.

So knowing that Zhang Songxi's caring and caring for her may be just out of polite habits, or because he had to make concessions because he wanted something from her, Cheng Lingsu chose to accept it gladly, and chose to give it to herself within reason. Have the opportunity to experience the feeling of being loved by another person...and a man, even if reason tells her that this will only be a short-lived illusion.

Of course, these changes in mood did not make Cheng Lingsu lose her normal analytical ability. When she encounters danger, she will habitually try to protect her own safety first, and then decide whether to lend a helping hand to those around her according to the situation. , but he didn't know that for Zhang Songxi, this had become a big surprise to him.

"Of course I know. If it weren't for those bad guys, ordinary people wouldn't have had the chance to get this kind of special treatment." Cheng Lingsu sat in the front seat of the carriage and nodded with a smile.

"Since you have the ability to protect yourself when necessary, I can rest assured on the way forward, besides, there are only a few days left from this place to Wudang Mountain, and you can rest well after returning to the mountain. Zhang Songxi patted Cheng Lingsu's head with a smile, then jumped into the carriage, ignored the messy corpses, and drove the carriage forward again.
