those in the rivers and lakes

Chapter 65 Hell
In half a month, Ling Qiufeng rode from Wangjia Village, stopping and stopping for thousands of miles.He wanted to just wander like this, until the day when he was too old to walk!But I can't help but feel ridiculous, since I am in the rivers and lakes, who can know when I will live?

Whether it is silence or jumping, it can only be abnormal for a while, otherwise people will definitely go crazy.What Ling Qiufeng really wanted was a destination, but since Lu Die was dead, he couldn't see where the destination was.

The restaurant at noon was very lively, Ling Qiufeng had already walked in, and when the shopkeeper saw him, a greedy expression suddenly appeared on his face, but Ling Qiufeng didn't look like a very rich person at the moment.

Ling Qiufeng didn't expect that this meal would bring him a surprise, making him feel that he finally had something to do recently.

That's what a man at the same table told him. There is a scholar named Wu Yong twenty miles west of the restaurant. He is proficient in painting, and people nearby like to call him a magic pen.

If you want him to draw a person's appearance, as long as you tell the story between you, he can accurately draw that person's appearance, and he has both spirit and form.

The man's mother had passed away due to illness for many years. Last night he dreamed of her in a dream, and during the day he often thought of all the kind things she had done to him in the past, so today he came to look for Wu Yong's portrait for peace of mind.

What Ling Qiufeng misses is Lu Die. He wants Wu Yong to draw her appearance, and then take this portrait to Erhai Lake, which means that the wish of the two people ten years ago has been fulfilled!
It was a long, long dream. Ling Qiufeng dreamed of Lu Die, and the time went back to ten years ago. They never met Dugu Yimu, and they were full of love and companionship.

In that intoxicating dream, they boarded Diancang Mountain together, Lu Die nestled in his arms tenderly, they watched Erhai Lake together, time seemed to stop at that moment...

But it was a dream after all, and if it was a dream, when he woke up, Ling Qiufeng opened his eyes bewilderedly, the sea breeze was blowing on his face frivolously, he smelled salty, but where is this?
A basin of seawater splashed on him, and Ling Qiufeng instantly became sober. The first thing he saw was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. At this moment, the man pointed his sword at him and asked, "What do you use?" What does the knife do?"

"I'm a blacksmith!"

"It looks a bit like it."

"Where is this?"

"This is Wanku Island!"

"Wanku Island? I remember I was in a restaurant just now."

"Just now, that was already yesterday!"

"what?"

"you do not understand?"

"can understand!"

Ling Qiufeng wanted to stand up, but the man stepped on him on the ground. He heard the clanging sound, and looked down, it turned out that his hands and feet were locked by thick iron chains.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Why? Because there is a shortage of slaves here!"

"What do you want slaves for?"

"Slaves are for hard work, of course!"

"You don't lack blacksmiths here?"

"No shortage!"

The man took his feet off his chest and shouted, "Get up and work!"

"it is good!"

Being a slave is not easy, Ling Qiufeng thinks he is a person who can suffer, but what he sees still shocks him, because there are only two situations for working on Wanku Island, either desperately or being whipped.

It was a deafening whip, and the sound meant warning and suppression. These coolies were no longer human beings, they were just like mules and horses, without their own dignity and life.

Ling Qiufeng woke up in the middle of the night. He hadn't received a whip in the past seven days, but he knew that if he continued like this, he would not be too far away from being whipped.

He touched his red and swollen shoulders, which were hard pressed out by the big boxes that carried dirt during the day.The stench of blood in the air made it difficult for him to sleep. His wrists and ankles were already bleeding and his skin was broken.

The dull and oppressive atmosphere made him feel angry, and he remembered the rules of Ten Thousand Skull Island, which a thick man told him the night before.

If a slave can defeat a warden, then he can become a warden, and if a warden can defeat the king of skeletons, then he can become the new king of skeletons!
This is the rule of Wanku Island. There are hundreds of slaves and dozens of guards in Wanku Island, but there is only one Wanku King!

Ling Qiufeng was thinking about something, but unconsciously took out a remodeled key in his hand.He picked it up inadvertently three days ago, and he ground it into a special shape with a thin stone.

The northwest wind is blowing now, Ling Qiufeng clearly remembers that the boat transporting the soil came from the southeast, it seems that this time is an excellent opportunity.

It took half an hour to open the four locks, Ling Qiufeng gently took off the chains, he stood up, and walked out of the wooden shed like a tiger looking for food, he wanted to get his sword back.

He had found the guard with the scar on his face, and the sword was on the wooden table beside the bed.Ling Qiufeng opened the door lightly, but the guard didn't notice, he walked to the table and picked up the sword, the long sword came out of its sheath with a clang, the man woke up, but he hadn't seen Ling Qiufeng's face clearly, the tip of the sword was already thrust into his throat.

There was more than one guard in the room, Ling Qiufeng raised his sword and dropped it, leaving nine corpses on the ground when he walked out of the room.

The sound of fighting woke up the other guards, Ling Qiufeng swung his sword to fight, but the past few days have been quite tiring and his stomach is empty, but his legs and feet have become weak after a long time.

He flipped away the guards in the air, and ran towards the sailboat with all his strength. Ling Qiufeng jumped up and cut off the masts of four ships one after another. The sail of the remaining ship had been opened. When the guards came after him Has sailed away.

The sea breeze messed up his hair, and at this moment he was as free and happy as a strand of hair, and the depression and resentment in his heart had long since disappeared.Escaping from hell is the world, and it was already daylight after two hours, a smile appeared on Ling Qiufeng's tired face, he saw the coast!
If he didn't fill his stomach, Ling Qiufeng might faint. After eating and drinking, he was already sleepy, so he walked slowly towards the room.

Ling Qiufeng felt extremely comfortable lying on the bed, but a sense of loneliness also followed, he couldn't help but secretly ridiculed in his heart, who did he try so hard to escape from Ten Thousand Skull Island?Where can I go?Is it just to survive?It turns out that sometimes people have worked very hard just to live!
Ling Qiufeng quickly fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning.The spring sun was so warm, and the spring breeze gently disturbed his face, which reminded him of that spring day ten years ago, and of Lu Die.

Only Wu Yong can draw the appearance of Lu Die, and it is not difficult to find him, but he thought of Ten Thousand Skull Island, and there are still many people trapped there, who suffer as much as livestock every day, and life is worse than death.

As a swordsman, what is the meaning of being a swordsman if you don't do something useful?Just to win over others?
Ling Qiufeng thought that he had been numb in Wangjia Village for ten years, but he had also silently learned the way of swordsman for ten years. Now that he encountered bullying and oppression, if he only cared about his own safety, what dignity would he have to be a swordsman?

Lu Die is dead, even if her portrait is brought to Erhai Lake, she will not be able to come back from the dead.But if you want to take a good look at her again, then take her portrait to Wanku Island, and stay by your side just like ten years ago.If he died there, he would be able to reunite with Lu Die immediately; if he did not die, it would not be too late to go to Ergong Lake.

Yes, that's it!

Ling Qiufeng set off immediately, and it took him three hours to walk. Feeling a little tired, he stopped and sat by the roadside.He just took a sip of water and suddenly heard someone say: "Young master, can you give me something to eat?"

Ling Qiufeng looked up, and it was a woman in her 20s who came, her clothes were torn and dirty, her face was full of humbleness and sadness, and she looked at him beggingly.Ling Qiufeng's face was moved, and he said with a smile: "Yes, I still have some dry food!"

The woman walked over happily, Ling Qiufeng had handed her the dry food, and the woman had already taken the dry food and ate it.

"Drink some water, don't choke!"

"Thank you son!"

The woman said as she ate, "To tell you the truth, my lord, I haven't eaten for two whole days. I'm really hungry!"

"It's okay, I didn't laugh at you! I've been hungry too, and I know what it's like!"

"Ok!"

But after a long time the girl was full, she smiled lightly and said, "Thank you so much, sir, I don't know your name, master Gao?"

"Don't dare! I'm under Ling Qiufeng!"

"Your name sounds nice!"

"Thank you! What's the girl's name?"

"Just call me Kisaragi, that's what my parents usually call me!"

"They're here too?"

"No, not here! They have been killed by robbers!"

"Oh, sorry!"

"There was a flood at home, and our family went out to escape, but another disaster happened. A month ago, my father and my mother insisted on holding the bandit's legs and were beaten to death in order to let me escape!"

"I didn't expect you to suffer so much. Where are you going next?"

"I don't know either, let's live every day!"

"Why don't you follow me these few days, girl, don't worry, I don't have any wrong thoughts, I just can't bear to see you hungry. But I can't protect you for too long, I still have something to do, I can't put you in danger! "

"It's okay! I'm already very satisfied. Except for my parents, no one has treated me so well!"

"Okay, let's go!"

"Ok!"

It was getting late, Ling Qiufeng looked at the cave beside the road and said: "Let's rest here tonight, if we go further down, there may be no inn."

"As long as you don't dislike it, it's fine. I've been anywhere these days, and it's fine!"

"Then here, I'll get some food and you can start a fire!"

"it is good!"

Ruyue had already lit the fire, and after a while Ling Qiufeng came back with a hare.

"Master Ling, you are back!"

"Well! I killed a wild rabbit and picked some apricots. Let's eat these tonight!"

Ling Qiufeng took out the apricot and put it on the stone, Ruyue picked up one and ate it, she seemed to like the taste very much.

"Do you like to eat wild apricots? Are you not afraid of sourness?"

"Don't be afraid, sour is delicious!"

"I'll try it too!"

The bonfire had already died down, and it was already midnight, Ruyue had a nightmare and was so startled that she was restless, she walked up to Ling Qiufeng and whispered: "Young Master Ling, I'm a little scared!"

Ling Qiufeng slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I just had a nightmare, and now I'm very scared, and I feel cold all over! Can I sleep with you?"

"Well, it's a bit cold at night!"

Ruyue lay in Ling Qiufeng's arms, Ling Qiufeng immediately smelled a faint fragrance, which made him a little excited, and Ruyue's body temperature, like a woman's soft fingers plucking at his heartstrings.

Ling Qiufeng gently pushed her shoulders to open her eyes, it turned out that Ruyue was also looking at him, those eyes were so charming!Ling Qiufeng kissed her forehead unconsciously, Ruyue said softly: "Young master, do you like me?"

"like!"

The two kissed together, and in such a cold night, they had each other.As the sky was getting brighter, Ling Qiufeng woke up from his sleep, but Ruyue was not lying beside him, he stood up and was about to look for it, but found a piece of cloth stuffed in his hand, on which was written in blood: "So far, I have forgotten each other in Jianghu." , don't read it!"

Ling Qiufeng was at a loss, he didn't know why Ruyue left, he just stood there in a daze and murmured: "This is not what an ordinary woman would do!"
