Hidden Blade Chapter 35: The Snowman does not return
(PS: First I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day, um, I have something to do today, this chapter is sent in advance, and it is infinitely close to 6,000 words, even if you do two changes, I hope you will forgive me, and I will resume two changes tomorrow. Thank you all.)
Qin Keqing looked at the young man in front of him with some doubts.
He is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a black cat standing on his shoulders and a white strip tied to his right arm. He looks ordinary.
It's just that the gaze he looked at her at this time made Qin Keqing a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say it was annoying.
Ye Hongjian completed the ceremony of apprenticeship and became the youngest uncle in Linglong Pavilion. The first thing that young uncle did after he took office was to send a large batch to her husband. Ning Yuan Dan.
The appearance and talents of Xiao Shishu are impeccable. Even Qin Keqing, who is far away at Xuanhe Peak, never eats once. I heard the teachers praise Ye Hongjian, saying that she was rare in the past 100 years in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The talented generation is enough to compare with such Linglong Pavilion chiefs as Chen Xuanji and Fang Ziyu.
If the only shortcoming is that this little uncle has a fiance who has cut off the path of spiritual practice, since he came to Linglong Pavilion, there have been rumors about him being arrogant, ignorant, treacherous and cunning. Qin Keqing has heard a lot. She didn't realize he was there, but secretly regretted the little uncle. It was a coincidence today that he was sent to deliver that pill, which could satisfy his curiosity about that young master Xu Hanxu.
"Brother Xu! Brother Xu!" Song Yueming shook Xu Han's body, frowning, and felt that Xu Han was staring at a woman in such a way that it was a bit wrong, and he still had a marriage contract.
Xu Han wakes up like a dream.
"It's under." He said, with a rare trace of panic in his voice.
Qin Keqing didn't know his name, and hadn't seen him. Naturally, she couldn't recognize him.
Xu Han knows this very well, but he still feels a little flustered inexplicably.
"This is the pill that Xiao Shishu asked me to send me." Ye Hongjian was a little uncomfortable when he saw it, and thinking about some rumors about Xu Han, she hurriedly filled several medicine bottles in her hand. Handed it up.
Xu Han was taken aback, only then did he remember that Ye Hongjian had mentioned this matter yesterday, but he didn't want to send it today, let alone Qin Keqing who gave the medicine.
Xu Han took the medicine bottle. He finally suppressed his thoughts at this moment, smiled at Qin Keqing, and said, "Thank you girl."
"A matter of division." When Qin Keqing heard this, she also bowed her hand in return, but from the bottom of her heart, she felt that Xu Han's voice was a bit familiar. She raised her head and glanced strangely, but she couldn't remember when she had met this person. . After all, it was not easy to ask too much, so after paying the gift, he bowed again and retired.
Xu Han watched the girl's figure go away, and after a few breaths of silence, he looked back.
......
After that, Xu Han and Song Yueming talked for a while. The young man told Xu Han enthusiastically that after Si blank space returned to Linglong Pavilion, he had completed the ceremony of apprenticeship today, and announced that there will be a discussion meeting in a few months. From now on, we will start to invite all the big sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time, in order to select the representative disciples of Linglong Pavilion to participate in this round of the convention, tomorrow will start the annual Shanmen Great Competition ahead of schedule.
As an ordinary disciple of the inner sect, Song Yueming did not have the opportunity to participate in this matter, but he was very interested in it and invited Xu Han to come and watch the battle with him tomorrow.
Xu Han thought, this time there is nothing to do, he also wanted to send the boy away soon, so he agreed.
After lunch, Ye Hongjian sent a message that he was about to break through the Danyang realm, and was taken by Si Bai to retreat. It is estimated that Ye Hongjian will not be seen in this month. And Chu Qiuli clamored to make the sword hall pay the price for yesterday's provocation. He went out early in the morning to squat on guard. He didn't know how he got it, but he still didn't return.
Xu Han once again refined more than ten Ning Yuan Dan donated by Zhou Zhang, and repaired two more acupoints. But it was still early, and he thought about being free, so he went out.
Linglong Pavilion is, after all, the first sect of the Great Zhou, even if it is only one of the three main peaks, Zhongju Peak is surprisingly big.
Xu Han has never liked the excitement, and his reputation in the hearts of many Zhongju Peak disciples has never been very good, so he still chose to walk towards the top of the mountain as usual.
Last night, there was snow in the mountains again, and the entire Zhongju Peak was already wrapped in silver by the snow.
Xu Han walked to the wooden pavilion again, but Zhou Zhang, who he usually chose to read here, was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he was preparing for the mountain gate competition that would start tomorrow, right? Xu Han thought this way, but he didn't care, and walked into the pavilion alone.
This location is about to reach the top of Zhongju Peak, and the field of vision is extremely wide. Standing in the pavilion, Xu Han looked around, and most of the scenery of the entire Linglong Pavilion came into his eyes.
At the end of the is the fairy mist lingering, wrapped in silver, and beautiful.
It’s just Xu Han but a little melancholy.
He was thinking about his right arm, thinking about the sound from the sky that day, always feeling uneasy, but he couldn't grasp the clue.
"Hee hee." At this moment, there was a chuckle not far away, with a clear voice, like a mountain stream gurgling.
Then a stone, neither light nor heavy, fell on the back of Xu Han's head impartially.
Xu Han looked back alertly, and the black cat on his shoulders was even more arched at that time, the black hairs on his body were erected like sharp needles, and there was a screaming scream in his mouth, with amber eyes. Watching the surroundings vigilantly.
"Who?" Xu Han asked, his face sinking. The person who made the sound was obviously nearby, but Xu Han couldn't find where the other party was.
"What a cute black cat." The voice sounded again, and Xu Han consciously saw a flower in front of his eyes. A petite figure flashed past, and the black cat on his shoulder fell into the figure's hands at that time.
Xu Han was startled. The speed of the man was so fast that he had no chance of reacting at all, and the black cat was taken away. He fixed his eyes and found that the man who shot was actually a girl.
The girl looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen. Although it was a cold winter in October, she was wearing a purple gauze dress. Her cheeks were not covered with pink and daisy, but she was red with some baby fat. She looked like A porcelain doll is generally cute.
At this moment, she is holding the black cat and stroking the hair on the black cat’s back. The black cat, who has never been close to others, is not happy, but she does not dare to move for some reason. She is lying nervously with the girl. In her arms, she was allowed to touch her, but at the same time she looked at Xu Han for help.
Seeing Xuan'er under control, the muscles of Xu Han's body suddenly tightened. He looked at the seemingly harmless girl with unprecedented vigilance in his heart. It would not be an ordinary character to be able to **** the black cat from his hand so easily and make the black cat so afraid.
"Who are you?" Xu Han asked in a deep voice.
"You black cat is very good, can you give it to me?" The porcelain doll was unconscious of Xu Han's inquiry. She replied not what she had asked.
"Your Excellency took my black cat without asking the reason. Could it be that you deceived me too much?" Xu Han's face became more gloomy, and his muscles began to swell at that moment, and he was obviously ready to take action at any time. .
"Why? Are you angry?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Xu Han, her eyes as big as a full moon flickered.
Humph!
Xu Han let out a cold snort when he heard the words, his body was shocked, and he rushed towards the girl at that time.
He and the black cat get along with each other day and night, and the relationship is already very deep. Although this girl has a weird body, Xu Han has no intention of compromise.
The so-called lion fights the rabbit, you also need to do your best. What's more, he is not a lion in front of him, he is more like that rabbit than a girl. Therefore, his shot is unreserved.
He was like thunder, he came to the girl in a flash, his right arm clenched a fist and slammed out, faintly with the sound of breaking through the sky, and there was a strong tendency to break the mountain and the stone.
"Really angry?" Faced with Xu Han's violent punch, the girl did not evade, her eyes were crescent-shaped at that time, and she said with a grin.
Then, one of her hands stretched out, the speed was slow, but there was a strange rhythm faintly, it seemed that some power of heaven and earth was already affected by the raising of the hand.
At this time, Xu Han's fist still blasted to her face. If this fist were to go down, you can imagine that beautiful face to the extreme, it would turn into a pool of rotten flesh in a flash.
And the girl's outstretched hand also came to her at that time, blocking her and Xu Han's fists.
It was a terrifying scene.
A fist is as big as an iron fight, and the other is as white as a couple.
Putting the two together, the difference is too obvious.
But at that moment, an index finger stretched out in that little white hand.
lightly and slowly clicked on the giant fist that was as big as a casserole compared to it.
ding.
rose in the snow with a soft sound.
Waves of true essence like ripples swayed across the girl's fingertips.
Then...
Xu Han's aggressive body suddenly flew upside down like a kite with a broken wire.
He slammed straight into the trunk of a dead tree far away from him before he stopped.
After a few breaths, Xu Han stood up from the snow in a desperate manner.
He didn't have time to wipe the snow stains on his body, only then looked at the girl, his eyes were full of shock that was almost impossible to dissolve.
His physical cultivation base has long been greater in the Diamond Realm. It is a realm comparable to the Trinity Realm. Even if he is talented as strong as Ye Hongjian, he is only in the Danyang Realm now, but this one looks only thirteen or fourteen. -Year-old girl, but defeated him so easily...
I am afraid that the girl’s cultivation base has reached the Tongyou realm, even higher...
If this is the case, then Ye Hongjian's so-called talent is absolutely different from that of the young girl in front of him.
"Why is it as stingy as the one with the surname Chen, but after a look, I didn't say that I should really grab it!" The girl stomped her foot, seeming a little displeased.
"Xu and You have never masked, and there is no hatred to talk about, so blatantly snatching my black cat, Xu is not clear. Please also show you how to let the black cat go. As long as you are willing to let go of the black cat. As far as I can, I will definitely not refuse!" Xu Han said at that time. The girl's cultivation base was extremely terrifying, but it seemed that she had no intention of harming her. The blow just now, although it repelled Xu Han. But the girl's control of the strength was extremely precise. When Xu Han fell into the snow, the strength of the whole body had been relieved. Except for her embarrassed expression, she actually didn't suffer much damage.
Xu Han is also a person with strong eyesight. Now that he knows that the girl has inadvertently inflicted harm, and he is no opponent anyway, he simply softened his attitude and tested the other party.
But who knows that the girl's eyes lit up when she heard the words, "Anything really does?"
"Uh..." Seeing the girl's eyes shining brightly, Xu Han felt a little guilty in his heart when he saw the girl's eccentric behavior before, but his eyes met Xuan'er's pitiful eyes again, and Xu Han gritted his teeth. , Said: "Please also express."
The girl got permission, and she hugged the black cat and came to Xu Han. She stood on tiptoes, her eyes glowed with stars, looked at Xu Han expectantly, and asked: "Will you bake sweet potatoes?"
"Huh?" Xu Han was taken aback. He was ready to go through fire and water for the black cat, but he did not expect the girl to make such a request. Xu Han, who had not reacted for a while, even gave birth to himself inexplicably. The wrong illusion.
"Hey! There, you help me roast the sweet potatoes, and I will return the black cat to you." The girl pointed her finger away.
Xu Han hurriedly looked in the direction the girl was pointing, but saw a meal of firewood squatting in the snow not far away, which seemed to have burnt marks, and there were many sweet potatoes scattered on the side. .
Xu Han then realized that the girl's words were not teasing. Although I felt weird in my heart, Xu Han walked over for the black cat Xu Han.
But I saw that the firewood in the snow was a bit scorched, but it was burned. And there were a few burned sweet potatoes on the side, which obviously couldn't be eaten anymore. Xu Han glanced at the girl suspiciously. The girl seemed to feel the doubt in Xu Han's eyes. She lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and whispered, "I blame the guy surnamed Chen for leaving today. I will wait here. After him for so long, he won't come."
"When I am hungry, I want to cook some sweet potatoes by myself... Maybe he cooked it for me before... I myself..."
After speaking, the girl obviously realized that it is not a particularly glorious thing that even sweet potatoes can be scorched, so the voice became smaller, and finally Xu Han could not hear her clearly.
Xu Han shook his head. Xu Han, the weird person in this Linglong Pavilion, is already commonplace, and he is used to it.
Then he simply squatted down, piled the firewood together, took out the fire from his arms and ignited the hay, creating a fire.
But he didn't rush to put the sweet potato in it, but waited quietly.
The girl beside was obviously hungry and a little impatient. She squatted beside Xu Han with a black cat with a reluctant face, and asked eagerly, "Why don't you bake it?"
Xu Han smiled when he heard the words, and explained: "The roasted sweet potato uses a dark fire. When the firewood is burned out and filled with new firewood, then put the sweet potatoes in the old firewood. The roasted sweet potatoes will be the most fragrant, eh. .. will not burn."
The girl blushed when she heard this, and she muttered dissatisfied: "Who said, you didn't do this for the baked sweet potato with the surname Chen."
Xu Han didn’t go to the bottom of the girl’s utterances about the person surnamed Chen, but Xu Han thought that he should be considered a master of the roasted sweet potato. After all, when he was a beggar, he was so hungry that he had never done anything like stealing sweet potatoes, and he was quite knowledgeable about it.
Seeing Xu Han, the girl curled her lips and didn't say much, but she thought in her heart that if Xu Han messed up, she would have to take the black cat as an apologetic. After all, in her heart, what the guy surnamed Chen did was the most right thing.
It was just a quarter of an hour later that Xu Han put the sweet potato under the fire and it disappeared.
"Why isn't it okay?" The girl squatted on the snow, holding her porcelain doll-like cheeks with her hands, staring blankly at the fire and urging.
As for Yu Xuan'er, she had already forgotten aside because of the fragrance wafting from the fire, and the black cat that escaped from the clutches quickly hid in Xu Han’s arms, poking his head in fear of life. Looking at the fascinating scent of the fire, he was obviously greedy.
"Don't worry... the sweet potatoes that are slowly roasted are delicious." Xu Han smiled, but at the bottom of my heart I felt that this girl had a weird style, but her gluttonous appearance was a bit interesting at the moment.
......
In a blink of an eye, another half hour passed.
Under the staring eyes of the girl and Xuan'er, Xu Han used wooden sticks to take out several sweet potatoes that were roasted into golden yellow from the fire.
At that time, a strong fragrance overflowed in the mountains and forests.
The girl and Xuan'er couldn't help it anymore, each of them had to take each cat, and the other would bite.
"Be careful with the heat." Seeing these two "people" who were reborn like a starved ghost, Xu Han kindly reminded him, but the one person and the cat who were aroused by the greedy worms ignored Xu Han and opened the package. The cortex began to eat.
While eating, I said vague things like it's hot and delicious.
Xu Han looked interesting and helpless, so he picked one up and ate it cautiously.
"It's delicious, even better than the roasted sweet potatoes with the surname Chen, um, no, it was delicious with him." In a moment, the girl finished a sweet potato, and she was not stingy. Praising, stretched out his hand and picked up a sweet potato on the ground.
"You said you were waiting for someone whose surname is Chen?" Xu Han also lost his previous hostility towards the girl at this time, he asked casually.
"Yeah." The girl nodded heavily when she heard the words, but she didn't mean to hide it, but her gaze was still on the sweet potato.
"Who is it?"
"A idiot." The girl bit off a large piece of sweet potato, and there was happiness on her pink face, but she didn’t know whether the happiness came from the idiot Chen, or the sweet potato in her hand. Or both.
"Do you like him?" Xu Han teased. Perhaps he was infected by the girl's carefree personality. Xu Han also temporarily forgot the troubles he had had before, and had a playful mind.
"Hmm." But the girl nodded again without thinking, almost overflowing with happiness on her face.
"The sweet potatoes he baked are delicious but delicious, um... he baked it for me before." The girl seemed to want to tell Xu Han how good the fool surnamed Chen is. But after all, I can't grasp the point.
So she repeatedly emphasized the story of that person and sweet potatoes, in order to convince herself that if he is willing to bake sweet potatoes for her, then he must like herself, just as she likes him.
Xu Han looked at the look on the girl's face and smiled knowingly. He really liked the girl's free and easy character. It's just that in the bottom of my heart, I thought of Qin Keqing, who had a quick glance today, for no reason. He shook his head, and cast aside the inexplicable thoughts in his mind.
"Will he come today?"
"Surely, he promised me that he will not miss the appointment this time." The girl said very confidently, and then she pointed to the sweet potato on the ground and said: "He told me, if I am bored, I will bake it. Some sweet potatoes, he will definitely come before the sweet potatoes are finished."
Xu Han heard the words and looked at the more than a dozen sweet potatoes still remaining on the ground, and then at the height of the girl's thirteenth-fourth, he secretly felt that the man surnamed Chen was a good calculation.
Of course, this thought was also in Xu Han's heart for how long it lasted. After a hundred breaths, when the girl picked up another sweet potato, it disappeared completely.
The girl looks petite, but she eats amazingly.
About half an hour later, she had eaten more than a dozen sweet potatoes and only one was left~IndoMTL.com~ The expression on her face also began to become gloomy because of the decrease in sweet potatoes.
The last sweet potato, she eats very slowly...
One sip, another sip...
After every bite, he looked up in the direction of the top of the mountain, as if expecting that someone who was thinking about her would appear in the next moment.
white hair and white clothes, coming in the snow.
The scene like that has been performed countless times in the heart of the girl.
It’s just that, no matter how slow you eat, the sweet potatoes will be eaten up one day.
The girl lowered her head and looked at the little sweet potato in her hand unwillingly. At this point, she had eaten for a quarter of an hour.
The sky gradually darkened, and the snow fell.
In the snow, there is a bonfire, and young girls sit opposite each other.
The girl finally asked after a long silence: "Hey...you said that a person promised you time and time again, and the sweet potato will be there before the sweet potato is eaten. Why does he miss the appointment again and again?"
Her voice is very soft, so cautious that she would break something for fear of getting bigger.
Xu Han hesitated. He looked at the girl with his head down and pondered for a while before he said: "Perhaps... he has something to delay." At this point, Xu Han was silent for a while, and then Said: "Or maybe...he doesn't like you enough..."
"Not right."
The girl shook her head violently and interrupted the boy. She raised her head and looked at Xu Han.
Her eyes were crescent-shaped, as if smiling, but there was something crystal clear in the corners of her eyes.
she said crisply at that time.
The voice is determined and serious.
"I brought too few sweet potatoes."
