The last day.

In the afternoon.

The quiet atmosphere in the room seemed to be ignited by the sun, becoming noisy in the hazy light, rising and falling in the overlapping shadows.

Wu Yingxue was leaving, and she was ready to find out the truth after her injuries healed.

Therefore, she was packing her belongings.

Although she said she was packing, there was not much she needed to bring.

She had very few belongings, after all, it was an accident when she fell into Xu Xi's house.

"No more?"

After a while of busy work, the girl wrapped her spear in camouflage to make it look less conspicuous. She stood there, looking at the empty room, a little dazed for a while.

The screaming of the summer cicadas was coming to an end.

The scorching sun cut out shadows.

The 16-year-old girl stood in the room where she had lived for nearly two months.

Suddenly there was a strong illusion that she was in another world.

She had lived for 16 years, which was wonderful in the eyes of ordinary people and a luxury that ordinary people dreamed of. However, after living in Qingniu Town for two months, Wu Yingxue felt that such a life had passed for a long time.

It seemed not two months, but a year, or even longer.

"I am a little reluctant to leave for some reason..."

The girl murmured to herself, then closed the doors and windows. When she opened them again, she had changed her clothes.

The original red and white robe was too conspicuous. If she wore it directly back, the girl was sure that it would not take long for her whereabouts to be discovered by the officials.

Therefore.

She specifically asked Xu Xi to find a set of clothes.

For her to disguise.

"Next, it's just time", Wu Yingxue, who had changed her clothes, looked sideways at the scorching sun outside the window.

Wu Yingxue was ready to leave at night. The dark and gloomy environment was more conducive to action, which could greatly reduce the possibility of being seen by people in the town.

At the same time, it could also conceal the fact that she came out of Xu Xi's house.

But.

There is still a short time before the sun sets and the night completely covers the sky.

What should I do to kill this boring time?

The girl didn't know.

She carried a long spear on her back, picked up a small bag, pushed open the wooden door of the room for the last time, and stepped over the worn and time-marked wooden threshold with light steps.

"Hu——!"

"Hu——!"

The position corresponding to the door is the empty practice area in the courtyard.

Xu Xi still stood in the scorching sun as usual, ignoring the cold and heat, ignoring the weather, standing and punching every day.

Sweat dripped, and the punches were fierce.

Every punch, every roar of blood and qi, shook the air blurry and distorted, like a vibrant heart beating loudly.

"Mr.'s boxing is more profound..."

Wu Yingxue sighed in her heart.

Bewilderment flashed across her little face.

During this time, she has been learning from Xu Xi, but for some reason, the distance between her and Xu Xi is getting bigger and bigger.

It is a strange growth that is neither scientific nor martial arts.

It is as if Xu Xi is the protagonist in a novel.

As long as you start practicing martial arts, your martial arts level will rise.

"How is that possible?" Wu Yingxue laughed at her own thoughts.

She temporarily put down her spear and baggage and sat on the threshold of the room. The blazing sunlight was just blocked by the eaves, providing a cool place for the girl.

The young princess who didn't know how to pass the time.

Made the same choice during the recovery period.

Watching Xu Xi's martial arts practice.

Blue bricks and red tiles, flying eaves and corners, and dark green unknown plants climbing all over the walls, creating an extremely quiet atmosphere at the intersection of summer and autumn.

The 16-year-old girl just watched, watching Xu Xi punching and looking at the dark mountains in the distance.

It was an indescribable sense of emptiness.

Completely forgetting the passage of time.

After a long time, the scorching sun had a tendency to fade, and the sky was no longer so bright. The girl finally couldn't help asking the confusion in her heart.

If she didn't ask now, she might not have a chance when she left Qingniu Town.

"Sir, you practice boxing like this every day, don't you really feel tired? I have never seen you relax and rest on any day."

Faced with Wu Yingxue's question.

Xu Xi paused slightly, looked up at the sunset, and slowly retracted his fists.

His answer was very straightforward: "Of course I will be tired."

"Huh?"

The overly straightforward answer seemed to be far beyond the girl's expectations, and her face showed a stunned emotion.

She thought that the answer given by a hardworking warrior like Xu Xi would be the classic "not bitter or tired" and "perseverance is more important than anything else".

However.

Xu Xi's answer overturned Wu Yingxue's guess.

He stood there, constantly adjusting the surging Qi and blood, breathing and resonating with the heart cavity, completing the Zhoutian cycle bit by bit, and answered the girl:

"People don't eatIf you don't eat, you will be hungry."

"If you don't drink water, you will be thirsty."

"If you don't wear clothes, you will be cold."

"Similarly, I feel tired, hard and tormented when I practice boxing every day."

"No one is perfect, there are no shortcomings and mistakes, no one is not afraid of hard work and fatigue, at least I am not. ”

Finish the exercise.

Calm down.

Take a deep breath.

After Xu Xi sorted out his qi and blood, he turned around and looked at Wu Yingxue who was sitting on the doorstep.

He never thought that he was a saint, and he didn't think he needed to brag about himself.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Xi thought that he was an ordinary person, but he was just a little luckier and could eat the soft food of his sister, disciples, and teachers.

But Xu Xi's performance and Xu Xi's words.

made Wu Yingxue fall into a long silence.

The light of the setting sun exhausted its last strength, and the sun slowly fell into the distant skyline. Golden ripples appeared at the junction, which was the bitter waves in the girl's heart.

She felt that compared with Xu Xi, her previous thinking was too naive and simple.

It was so unbearable to look back.

She grew up in the palace since she was a child. King Dingyuan named her Yingxue, which means hope for less The girl is as quiet and beautiful as the soft snow.

But the development of things is often not as people wish.

The girl's personality is contrary to her name, she is as passionate as a raging fire. She has never liked needlework since she was a child, but only loves martial arts and chivalrous stories. She dreams of becoming a female knight or female general who protects the country and the people.

The peaceful life in the imperial capital.

The many conveniences of the princess's identity.

A carefree experience since childhood.

Under the influence of many factors, Wu Yingxue's understanding of the world is very shallow, and there is only a simple distinction between humans and demons.

She thinks Daqian is good and protects all humans.

She thinks demons are bad, and the 100,000 mountains threaten people's lives.

She dreams that she can become a chivalrous woman in the storybook, cut off the 100,000 mountains with a sword, and save the people from water and fire.

But these...

"are all one-sided and ignorant ideas. ”

After sunset, the full moon rises.

The bright moonlight sprinkled the earth. Wu Yingxue stood up from the doorstep, once again shouldered the spear and picked up the bag.

“If it weren’t for this attack, if it weren’t for your teachings, perhaps I would never find out the truth in my life.”

“Thank you.”
