After explaining with Dr. Ximen, Xie Ling bid farewell to him and followed Chu Liuxiang to Huafu.

Doctor Ximen didn't show much surprise at Chu Liuxiang's identity, but gave her a meaningful look, and then told her to be careful all the way.

To be honest, with Chu Liuxiang around, Xie Ling is actually not very worried about the safety of these short streets.

At this time, she still had to admit that Chu Liuxiang was indeed a good person.

He is also a good man with high martial arts.

It was almost evening, the cold wind was piercing, the crows were howling, and there were very few pedestrians on the long street, walking in a hurry.Xie Ling followed Chu Liuxiang half a step behind, her mind was still thinking about how many murders were involved in the matter that was mentioned in cold blood before, and she was still unable to land with her heart hanging.

She really never thought that a random sale would cause so many troubles. She knew it would be like this, even if she starved to death, she would not sell the things Zhu Ting made.

But things have come to this point, and there is no point in regretting.

Although Chu Liuxiang never looked back, he could still feel her depression. Based on the time spent with the siblings, he could more or less guess why Xie Ling continued to lose her mind after confirming Xie Xing's safety.

"Miss Xie, don't worry about it so much." He suddenly said, "It's not your fault."

Xie Ling didn't think so, but at this moment, she didn't intend to argue with Chu Liuxiang, she just shook her head silently and quickened her pace.

From the corner of her eyes, Chu Liuxiang saw that there seemed to be water in her eyes covered by the drooping hair on her forehead, and she stopped suddenly when she wanted to shake the folding fan, but finally said nothing.

He thought that what Xie Ling needed most now was to see the intact Xie Xing, and then take a good rest.

Just when they turned into the street leading to Huafu, Xie Ling was suddenly pushed aside by a strong force. Before she could recover, she saw a blue-black arrow piercing the air, coming straight from the She brushed against her ear, making a swishing sound.

"Be careful." Chu Liuxiang swung his fan to fend off the remaining arrows, and was distracted to protect her.

Xie Ling was still in shock, and was pulled behind him again. Before she could speak, she heard him asking herself, "Miss Xie, is everything okay?"

"I'm fine." Her entire body was blocked, and she was naturally fine, but it was the first time she faced such a battle, and she couldn't react well.

The three assassins who came to chase them were not weak in skill, and they cooperated very well.

If only Chu Liuxiang was alone, he thought he could get away quickly within a few breaths, but it would be really difficult to bring along Xie Ling who doesn't know martial arts, especially when the other party still uses arrows.

Seeing that Chu Liuxiang moved his hands unambiguously, the leading man in black didn't care too much. With a wave of his hand, six more feathered arrows flew towards him.

The angles are different, if Chu Liuxiang wants to avoid it, it is very easy, but it is very difficult to block it.

Xie Ling felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. The next moment, the person in front of her suddenly turned around and hugged her by the waist. With a little tiptoe, she swept straight up to the eaves at an angle that ordinary people could not even imagine. top.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the last light of dusk finally disappeared into the sky. In the darkness, Xie Ling heard Chu Liuxiang say, "I'm offended."

At this time, it's hard for him to have the leisure to say this, Xie Ling was a little speechless.

Naturally, the three assassins would not stop there, so Chu Liuxiang only paused for a moment on the eaves before letting her go, and then flew down alone.

His movements are smooth and flowing, full of flair, but Xie Ling can't appreciate it at all, because she is actually afraid of heights.

When Ye Kai flew her to the medical clinic with lightness kung fu before, because it was not too far from the ground, the feeling was not deep.Now she was standing on the roof of a restaurant, which was five feet high and had a double eaves structure. Xie Ling always felt that if she slipped on her foot, she should just slide down.

Chu Liuxiang who was below had no scruples when he moved his hands again, his shots were quick and accurate, and he still had the upper hand under the attack of the three of them.

I saw his palm fluttering, touching the assassin's shoulder and making the opponent's movement stagnate, the hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind with the movement, the strength of the palm was controlled just right, and when he lifted his hand, he fell down in response.

Xie Ling tried to divert her attention by staring at his heroic fighting posture, but it was useless, her legs were still trembling uncontrollably.

The moment Chu Liuxiang finished off the second assassin, the leader of the man in black suddenly withdrew his sword, flew on tiptoe to the shorter building opposite Xie Ling, turned around again, and was about to head towards Xie Ling. Direction rushed.

Xie Ling's legs were trembling with fear, but seeing this person flying straight towards her, she was so frightened that she even held her breath.

So fast, she couldn't even move her position slightly.

The sword of the man in black pointed directly at her shoulder, and a blue figure flew towards her in a blink of an eye.

Xie Ling felt as if she heard the sound of cloth being torn, but she didn't feel any pain. When she opened her eyes again, the point of the sword had indeed pierced her clothes, but it stopped just a hair away from her flesh. .

Chu Liuxiang pinched the sword's edge that was shining with cold light with his bare hands, and he couldn't move forward an inch.

Just when Xie Ling wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the man in black suddenly dropped his sword and grabbed her shoulders with both hands. She reflexively wanted to hide, but stepped on it because the foothold on the eaves was too narrow. So empty, the whole person leaned back.

Thanks to Chu Liuxiang's quick eyes and quick hands, he grabbed her waist in time.

But even so, Xie Ling was terrified by this feeling that her whole body was almost suspended in the air.

The man in black didn't give up yet, and reached out to grab her feet. The strength made Xie Ling cry out in pain, and the arms around his waist seemed to tighten a bit. Xie Ling was held back into his arms with one hand, His chin was on his shoulder, which was actually a bit uncomfortable, but this uncomfortable feeling was nothing compared to the pain from his feet.

From this angle, she couldn't see how Chu Liuxiang made a move, but could only hear the wind from his palm.

The wind was not loud, but it seemed to be deliberately slowed down.

"Uh--"

Accompanied by the painful moans/groans from behind, Xie Ling also noticed that Chu Liuxiang's tense body finally relaxed for a moment.

The man in black lay on the roof of the eaves, gasping for breath, and couldn't get up anymore.He was still holding Xie Ling's shoe in his hand, Chu Liuxiang patted Xie Ling's back with his free hand as if comforting, and gave her a sigh of relief, his tone was much slower than before, he said :"never mind."

Xie Ling's feet hurt so much that she couldn't stand still, and she couldn't overcome her fear of the height, so she almost cried. When she looked down and saw that her shoes were still in that guy's hand, she was speechless.

Chu Liuxiang supported her, leaned over to help her take off the shoe, and smiled slightly when looking at her, "Go down first."

What was different from when she was carried up was that when she was carried down, Chu Liuxiang looked at her pale face, she didn't even need to hug her horizontally, and directly sent her to the ground in this posture hanging on his shoulders.

Xie Ling could only stand on one leg, and she hadn't recovered from it yet. She even forgot to let go of Chu Liuxiang's skirt, which was being held in her hands. Fortunately, the other party didn't care, and comforted her again, "It's okay."

"I... hug, I'm sorry." Although she still couldn't help feeling aggrieved, she thought that the culprit of this matter was probably herself, and Chu Liuxiang was just a drag, so she apologized first.

Chu Liuxiang shook her head, and bent down to help her put on her shoes, knowing that her feet were still hurting, so she moved lightly.

"Let me carry Miss Xie over there." He stared at her twisted ankle and sighed, "I want to offend Miss Xie again."

No matter how thick-skinned Xie Ling was, she knew that he didn't need to care about this matter at all, so she naturally felt sorry for her, and subconsciously waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'll go by myself."

"I can't go." Chu Liuxiang laughed, "Miss Xie works as a helper in the Ximen Medical Center, so you should know that you can't move around after the bones are misplaced, right?"

Xie Ling: "..."

In the end, it still didn't hold up.

When Xie Ling lay on his back and walked in the direction of Huafu, it was the first time that she felt that the street was so long.

She could smell the blue gown under her body not knowing when it was stained with the fragrance of wintersweet, which was actually not at all compatible with Chu Liuxiang, but there was no sense of disobedience when it lingered in her nose.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere at this moment was so peaceful, Xie Ling's mood that had stabilized a little became extremely complicated, even mixed with a little bit of discomfort.

Indeed, this is the first time she has seen this kind of battle in her life, fists to the flesh, palms to the body, either the opponent is beaten until she has no strength to fight back or she falls into the opponent's hands.

This kind of situation that she least wanted to face had come, and it was so fast.

I just want to live a good life with food and clothing. It turns out that this is so difficult, she couldn't help thinking.

Traveling through nearly 17 years, Xie Ling felt such a frustrated feeling for the first time. This was an emotion that she had never experienced even when she had no money to support Xie Xing after her parents died. Unexpectedly, the attack was fierce, and she was not given any buffer time at all.

And there is still a heart-rending pain in the ankle from time to time.

So uncomfortable.

Chu Liuxiang was carrying her on his back, so he could naturally feel her slightly trembling body, although it was very slight, but he couldn't cover it up, not to mention the warm tears falling directly on his neck.

"Thank you girl—"

"Don't talk." Xie Ling hurriedly interrupted him, "I'll be fine in a while, just in a while."

When it came to the end, the ending sound still uncontrollably brought some crying.

There were more and more teardrops sliding down the back of my neck.

Chu Liuxiang thought for a while, but stopped, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it back.

Xie Ling took it, her voice more muffled than before, "...I'll return it to you after I wash it."

He wanted to say no, but after thinking about Xie Ling's character, he swallowed the words back.

At the end of this not too long and not too short half street, the gate of Huafu finally arrived, and Xie Ling stopped crying.

The servants of Huafu were waiting in front of the door, their attitude was extremely respectful, and they didn't say much, they just led them in silently.

The well-lit mansions in the south of the Yangtze River are exquisite everywhere, with pavilions, pavilions, gardens and rockeries, all of which are exquisitely crafted. It's a pity that neither Xie Ling nor Chu Liuxiang have the interest to stop and admire at this moment.

Already at someone else's house, Xie Ling felt that it was impolite to stay on Chu Liuxiang's back. She struggled to get down, but Chu Liuxiang didn't stop her.

Xie Ling was still holding the handkerchief in her hand, the iris embroidery on it was already soaked, Chu Liuxiang glanced at it, but didn't speak.
