[Sword Three] Baili Maple

"Big villain, you said why haven't senior brothers and sisters come back? It's been more than a month!"

On this day, Hua Ling was still squatting at the mouth of the valley with her chin propped up, seeing that the sun was about to set, she shook her head sullenly and muttered.

"Miss Gu and the others are going to Chang'an to deal with the plague, how can it be so fast," the young man with grass roots in his mouth lay on the side with his arms and legs crossed, and said leisurely, "Even if you stay here every day, they may not be able to hurry up." came back."

"But the senior sister promised Ah Ling," Hua Ling puffed her cheeks, "She said she would definitely come back, and she also said that she would bring candied haws and noodles for Ah Ling to play with."

Hearing this, the young man burst out laughing, "You girl, you are thinking about delicious and fun things. I said why do you come here to squat every day."

"Not at all!"

Hua Ling turned her head and glared at him, "I'm not here for the candied haws!"

"Oh?" The young man teased with a smile, raising his tone, "Then why?"

"Because..." the little girl's voice lowered, with some frustration and unhappiness, which caused the young man on the side to turn around suspiciously, "Because tomorrow is Ah Ling's birthday, and the senior sister said that she would accompany Ah Ling every year." heard."

"Tomorrow is Xiao Ling'er's birthday?" The young man was startled, then quickly spit out the grass in his mouth, sat up and scratched his head, and said with a smile, "Oh, that's my slip of the tongue."

The little girl just glanced at him, turned her head away, and kept silent with an angry look.

Seeing this, the young man smiled dryly, "Since Miss Gu has promised Xiao Ling'er, she will definitely come! If she hasn't arrived yet, maybe something has delayed her on the way."

Hua Ling still ignored him.

"Haha, speaking of it, how old is Xiao Ling'er this year?"

Hua Ling glanced at him, "Eight years old."

Hua Ling herself naturally doesn't remember her age, she doesn't remember anything before she was arrested in the Red Clothes Sect, her age was deduced by the medical sage based on her bone age.

And the so-called birthday is obviously not the day Hua Ling was actually born, but the day she came to Wanhua Valley.

"Oh, our little Ling'er is already eight years old~" The young man shook his head and sighed with emotion, "I'm really old, old!"

Hua Ling gave him a sideways look, curled her lips, and muttered, "I've only known you for a year, what are you lamenting, you speak like my father!"

The young man froze for a moment, sneered, and then suddenly burst out laughing with his stomach in his arms for some unknown reason.Hua Ling looked at him inexplicably, he couldn't stop laughing there like a lunatic, Hua Ling didn't know why, but was a little irritable.

Just when the little girl was about to explode, the young man stopped laughing suddenly.He was still sitting next to the little girl, and now he turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile in his voice, "In terms of age, I can almost be Xiao Ling'er's father."

Hua Ling was surprised, she subconsciously tilted her head and narrowed her eyes.However, no matter how carefully she looked, the big bastard in front of her was still hidden in the blurred mass, unable to see clearly.But in the little girl's consciousness, she always felt that this guy should be about the same age as Senior Sister Gu, how could he become her father all of a sudden?

Seeing the dubious expression on the face of the little girl in front of him, the young man chuckled, "Although this young master is over [-] years old, he is still handsome and handsome just by looking at his appearance. No wonder Xiao Ling'er doesn't believe it. This young master I don’t believe it myself hahaha—”

The year of standing?

Hua Ling thought for a while, and then remembered, isn't the year of Li's thirties, the big villain is already over 30? !That's really the age to be your own father.

"Ahem," seeing the silly expression on the little girl's face, the not-too-young young man coughed twice in embarrassment, then scratched his head and said, "Xiao Ling'er, it's getting late, let's go back, I guess Your senior sister and the others are indeed delayed on the road because of something."

"Oh." After being interrupted just now, Hua Ling, who was a little sullen, was not in such a bad mood. She stood up and patted the small bamboo basket used for picking herbs on the back of the grass clippings on her skirt, and hummed twice, "If If Senior Sister and the others haven't come back tomorrow, next time I see her, I must ask her to make me a lot of delicious food!"

"Hahahaha, the little girl knows how to eat~" The young man on the side smiled cheerfully, causing the little girl to stare at him dissatisfied.

Two people, one big and one small, were about to walk back, when suddenly there was a rustling sound from the grass behind them.

"Who is it?!" Hua Ling hurriedly turned around in surprise, pulled out the pen beside her and waited.

The young man on the side didn't show any nervous expression, he just frowned slightly, listened for a while, and said, "It doesn't look like an enemy. The entrance of Wanhua Valley has always been hidden and there is a mechanism. It is impossible for ordinary people to enter at will. And the footsteps sounded slow and heavy, as if injured."

"Injured?" The little girl was stunned for a moment, but she relaxed after hearing this, and only looked in the direction of the voice.

After a while, the movement became louder and louder, and a figure finally appeared behind the bushes.

Seeing this, Hua Ling's eyes widened in shock, and she almost lost her grip on the pen in her hand.

"Senior Sister Shen! Brother Liu!!"

Hearing the little girl's voice, the man dressed in black robes but couldn't hide his bloodiness raised his head. His originally handsome face was as white as a piece of paper at this moment. She took a trembling step towards Hua Ling.

"... Ah Ling... save her... quickly..."

"Senior Brother Liu!"

The little girl hastily stepped forward to support the man, then looked at the woman on his back, and said in a panic, "What happened, brother, why are you hurt so badly! Brother, put senior sister down! "

"...Save her..." But the man didn't seem to hear Hua Ling's voice at all, and he stubbornly carried the unconscious woman on his back.

"Brother! Wait! Ah Ling is going to ask Brother Dongliu to come over right away, don't worry!! I'll be right back!" The little girl naturally smelled the strong smell of blood, she was so anxious that she wanted to cry but bit her head He held back his lips.After holding the needles for the two of them respectively, they turned their heads and rushed towards the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley not far from the entrance to pick up the disciples.

The first time they found the escort disciples, and then everyone rushed over to meet the two of them.

"Ah Ling, hurry up and inform Senior Brother Pei, let them get ready, we will send them there right away."

"it is good!"

The little girl looked at the two with wide red eyes, gritted her teeth and turned her head towards Luoxing Lake.

***

Hua Ling stared blankly at the pots of blood in front of her being sent out by her senior sister. In the hut of Luoxing Lake, the smell of herbs that smelled good had been covered by the smell of blood. Wherever she looked, everyone's faces looked very strange. serious.

"Ah Ling, bring the hemostatic powder." Pei Yuan ordered without raising his head, his tone as calm as ever.

"Yes, yes!" Hua Ling was taken aback for a moment, and quickly responded, hurriedly took the hemostatic powder and handed it to Pei Yuan.

"...Brother, how is Brother Liu?" the little girl asked without holding back while helping to pass the gauze.Her hands were still trembling a little, and she didn't dare to look at the scarred man on the bed.

Pei Yuan didn't answer her, and was still busy with himself.The expression on his face is still calm, but Hua Ling can feel some bad premonition from his slightly frowning brows, which makes the little girl's nose a little sour.

It was Hua Ling's first time to participate in the treatment and rescue of patients. The patients were still people she was very familiar with. The bloody wounds, the dying patients, the oppressive and heavy atmosphere and the faintly sad atmosphere made the little girl a little breathless.

This is, there was a commotion outside the door.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister Shen is awake, she wants to come in." Zi Qing, who just went outside the door to refill a basin of clean water, said to Pei Yuan in a low voice.

Pei Yuan frowned and said, "Let her in."

"Yes."

After a while, Hua Ling saw that the woman whose face was almost as white as the person on the bed walked in slowly step by step with Zi Qing's support.

Since the woman came in, she never took her eyes off the man lying on the bed. She sat down by the bed with a pale face, and held the man's hand with trembling hands. Her expression was not sad, but with a faint smile. It is the gentleness that Hua Ling is very familiar with.

"Ah Ling, you stay here and watch." After such an order, Pei Yuan left.

Hua Ling was stunned for a moment, looking at the back of her senior at a loss.

Ziqing sighed, quietly pulled her aside, patted her head and lowered her voice, said a little bit unbearably, "Senior Brother Liu was hurt too badly, although we tried our best, he left behind Senior Sister Shen's back He has lost too much blood for a long time, and it is all supported by his will...Senior Brother Pei has tried his best to let him last for a while, but this time, it is only time for them to talk for the last time, so we don't bother."

When Hua Ling heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, she sniffed and gave a soft "En".

The author has something to say: Well, cp Zang Hua, Hua Ling is eight years old this year, Ye Feng is 33 at the moment... Don't worry, it's not an uncle loli, the age difference won't be that big_(:з」∠)_
