Chapter 97 Love and Enmity (2)
Lu Jian knew that Gu Shentong's coming to the Central Plains had something to do with Gu Zhenda, and thinking of the enmity between the two father and son, which would cause a tragedy in the world, he shook his head and sighed.Ning Ning pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Mo Yi, will this magical power be harmful to the master?" Mo Yi said with a bitter face: "Do you still need to ask? The hatred between him and the master is great." Ning Ning said in surprise "What hatred?" Mo Yi hesitated and said, "Is this... the master won't let me say it."

"It's fine if you don't say it." Ning Ning frowned, "Since the master is the enemy, shouldn't we inform the master?" Mo Yi said: "It should be like this, but with this burden, we will not be able to catch up with the master ..." As he spoke, he pouted at Lu Jian.

Seeing Mo Yi's expression, Ning Ning was slightly annoyed, and said: "Bookworm, who is a burden, you can explain clearly." Mo Yi said: "Who else is this Lu? , almost killed us just now. Also, Xue Er, tell me what the master said about him."

Xue Er was naive, didn't know that Mo Yizhi was setting the blame on him, so he opened his mouth and said, "Master said, he is already a useless person, he won't live for a few more days." Mo Yi said, "That's right, walking with such a half-dead person, What is not a burden?"

These words were expected by Lu Jian, and he felt self-pity and self-harm after hearing these words, and he didn't feel great sorrow.Ning Ning's heart was twisted like a knife, tears welled up in her eyes, and she suddenly raised her fist to punch Xue Er, cursing: "You talk nonsense, you won't live for a few days."

Xue Er received two punches on the head, screamed in pain, hid behind Mo Yi and shouted: "Ning'er, this is what the master said, why did you hit me..." Suddenly Ning Ning stood there blankly, with a long The eyelashes fluttered slightly, and two teardrops slid down the cheeks.

Xue Er felt sorry, and hurriedly said: "Ning'er, don't cry, I'm talking nonsense. If you want to hit, hit, I will never hide again." He really stepped forward, closed his eyes and waited to be hit.

When Lu Jian saw that Ning Ning was crying for him, he was moved and confused, thinking that this woman had very little acquaintance with him, and she only said twenty sentences, how could she be so kind to him?Immediately said: "Miss Ning, Lu's humble body is not worth your worrying about me. You might as well report to Lingzhu first, I will take care of you in this family and wait for sister Xianbi."

Ning Ning's cheeks were flushed, her brows trembled slightly, and she suddenly raised her voice and said, "Who is worried about you? What does your life have to do with me?" With a flick of her sleeves, she turned around and left.Mo Yi said with a grin to Lu Jian: "You take good care of your illness here, and I will come to see you after we finish our business." After saying that, he took Xue Er to go.

Lu Jian watched the three of them go far away, thought for a moment, then turned to ask the owner of the house, and learned that there was more than one road to Tianzhu Mountain. The three of Ning Ning took a shortcut. .Asking about the way, she thought to herself: "I'm staying here, but I'm just waiting to die. Ah Qing went to Tianzhu Mountain, hoping that I would meet there. My death is not far away, and I don't want to be with her for the rest of my life, but To be able to see her safe and sound before she dies is to die without regret." After reading this, she cheered up and walked slowly towards Tianzhu Mountain.

He was extremely weak, and he had to rest for a long time every few miles he walked. He stopped and walked like this, and the day was getting westward, the sky was getting late, and the shadows of the trees swayed back and forth, as if a ghost was lurking.The hills and mountains are ups and downs, more like a female giant beast. There are endless strange sounds in the jungle, like owls, like jackdaws, and there are many unnamed voices, which are eerie and terrifying, making people's hairs stand straight.

Lu Jian was tired and hungry, but it was getting darker and darker, the moon was covered by thick shade, and he couldn't see his fingers. He supported the tree and moved to the edge of a big rock.

"Maybe we won't be able to make it to Tianzhu Mountain!" Lu Jian was secretly discouraged, "I didn't expect that I would die here!" Thinking about the exhaustion, he fell into a deep sleep in the wilderness.

When he was drowsy, he suddenly trembled all over. Lu Jian tried to open his eyes, and there were more than ten green lights floating around not far away.His scalp was numb, and he touched the ground with his hands, but he only touched a small branch.

The green light is getting closer and closer, the stench is pungent, and the shadows protrude from the darkness, which are actually a few vicious wolves.Lu Jian held his breath, clenched the twig in his hand, and was about to wave it, but suddenly felt his arm go limp, and saw the wolf scratching the ground with its front paws and growling, it saw that Lu Jian was weak, turned around, and was about to pounce. In the darkness, a fire suddenly flashed, and the wolf fur was burning.The burning pain was unbearable, howled miserably, rolled on the spot, turned around and fled.The pack of wolves backed away in surprise, the flames flickered one after another, and two more wolves were on fire, and there was only a whine, and the pack dispersed and went into the woods one after another.

"Miss Ning?" Lu Jian sighed softly.He hummed softly in the darkness, stepped in small steps, and came to him, a pair of gentle and soft hands helped him up.Lu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Ning, I owe you another life."

Ning Ning remained silent, and supported him through the forest and around the rocks, as if walking in daylight.After stopping for a while, Lu Jian suddenly heard a soft sound, flames rose up, and a bonfire was lit, illuminating the surroundings, but it was a cave.Ning Ning sat down and poked the fire, without saying a word.

Lu Jian said coyly, "Miss Ning, didn't you go with brother Mo and brother Xue?" Before she finished speaking, the branch in Ning Ning's hand hit hard, causing sparks to fly everywhere.No matter how stupid Lu Jian was, he could sense the anger in her heart, and immediately fell silent.

The two sat facing the fire for a long while, and Lu Jian became sleepy again. Suddenly, he heard the sound of groans. Lu Jian was quick-witted, opened his eyes, and saw Ning Ning curled up on the ground, covering her eyes with her hands, as if in extreme pain.

Lu Jian was extremely surprised. He leaned on the wall, moved to Ning Ning, and asked, "Miss Ning, what's wrong with you?" Ning Ning said, "You...don't come here." ?" Ning Ning remained silent, her body shaking more and more, but she refused to groan again.

Seeing her painful situation, Lu Jian was helpless and anxious, but Ning Ning slowly calmed down. Beads of sweat rolled down from her forehead, her hair and clothes were wet, she raised her head for a long time, her eyes were red and swollen, like two only walnuts.

Lu Jian was surprised and said, "You...your eyes?!" Ning Ning leaned against the cave wall, and smiled sadly, "Am I ugly?" Lu Jian was taken aback, wondering if she was a girl. What he cared about was still his own appearance, so he said immediately: "What's the matter? You are beautiful!"

Ning Ning bit her lips and snorted softly, "You're lying, my eyes are red and swollen, they must be very ugly." Lu Jian said: "It's a bit swollen, it's true, I think it's burning eyes, just wash it with clean water. "As she spoke, she got up and walked out of the cave, when she suddenly heard Ning Ning shout: "You...where are you going?" Her tone was panicked.Lu Jian said, "I'll find some spring water to wash your eyes."

Ning Ning said anxiously: "Don't go, it's pitch black outside, can you see it?" Lu Jian said: "You just came here, so I saw it too, I just groped."

"Are you stupid?" Ning Ning sighed softly, "My robbery power is in my eyes, and I can see at night. There is no difference between day and night." Come back." Just about to take a step, Ning Ning said anxiously: "You...don't go, I...I can't see anything."

Lu Jian was taken aback, stopped and turned around, looked at her red and swollen eyes, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with your eyes?" Ning Ning gasped for a while, pursing her lips: "It hurts badly, there are always two or three times a month, and after a while it will disappear it is good."

Lu Jian said: "How could this be?" Ning Ning said: "It often happens after I practice the 'Sword in the Eye', maybe in a few years, I will become blind." Lu Jian said in surprise: "Don't say such despondent words. Ning Ning shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if you say it or not, all the robbers who practiced 'Sword in the Eye' became blind without exception." Lu Jian lost his voice and said, "Why is this?" Ning Ning shook her head and smiled bitterly. Said: "'Sword in the Pupil' is not my own robbery technique, but it was thought up by a master of the Heaven Department back then. It is very powerful, and some cruel robber slaves. After practicing it, it can burn the opponent's eyes all at once. Bad."

"This is not the case." Lu Jian interjected, "I saw you use it a few times, how come it didn't burn other people's eyes?" Ning Ning shook her head and said, "Every time my eyes hurt and I can't see, I feel very uncomfortable. What's more, I will become blind sooner or later. The mistress often said: "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself." Still can't do it."

Lu Jian stared at Ning Ning, reflecting the firelight, her face glowed calmly, and the strands of blue silk seemed to be plated with a layer of light gold.After a long time, Lu Jian sighed: "Miss Ning, don't you have other tribulation techniques, so you must use this 'Sword in the Eye'?"

Ning Ning said coldly: "Didn't you say that? 'Sword in the Eye' is not my own robbery technique. In the 'Five Divine Abilities', any robber slave with the power of robbery can practice it. My own robbery technique is called 'color emptiness' Mysterious pupils, which can see at night, distinguish colors, and recognize pictures, but can't hurt people, so the master asked me to practice "sword in the pupil". until the eyes are blind."

Lu Jian said angrily: "It's so dangerous, why do you still practice?" Ning Ning smiled miserably: "The master asked me to practice, what can I do?" Lu Jian coughed angrily, and blurted out: "This Shen Zhouxu... ...cough...really...cough...really not a thing."

Ning Ning was surprised and said, "You...why are you scolding the master?" Lu Jian said, "It's just ahem... just scolding him...he's utterly hateful... clearly... clearly doesn't regard you as a human being." Ning Ning was stunned for a while, then shook her head Said: "I was raised by the master, and the mistress treated me like her own daughter. Even if I am really blind, that's fine, and it can be regarded as my repayment for their kindness."

Lu Jian said angrily: "You...you... are such a fool, they raised you and taught you just to use you." Ning Ning was angry, and said loudly: "Aren't you a fool? If you are like this, you still have to go to Tianzhu Mountain? Resting in the wilderness, without lighting a fire, you will almost be eaten by wolves! You say I am stupid, but you are ten times more stupid than me."

Although her expression was angry, there was no trace of ferocity. Lu Jian looked at it for a while, then burst out laughing.Ning Ning couldn't see things, but her mind was very sharp. She asked puzzledly, "You...what are you laughing at?" Lu Jian didn't want to lie, so he said, "It's nothing, I just want to laugh when I look at you." Said: "I see, you laughed at my ugly eyes."

Lu Jian shook his head and said, "Where are you talking?" Ning Ning turned to face the cave wall and said angrily, "Sit farther away, I don't want to see you anymore." "Sit farther away." Lu Jian hummed, and moved another inch, never leaving Ning Ning's side.

The bonfire was burning, and there was a sound of peeling, but the two people in front of the fire were silent.Time passed slowly, before dawn, Lu Jian took a nap, and when he woke up, the sky was bright, shining a pile of gray and white embers.Lu Jian turned his head and didn't see Ning Ning. He was shocked and staggered out of the cave, shouting, "Miss Ning, Miss Ning..."

The shouting continued, but when he heard the sound of "ang", Lu Jian was taken aback. Looking back, Ning Ning walked over leading a big buffalo.Lu Jian took a closer look, her eyes were red and swollen, and the whites of her eyes were still bloodshot. She immediately blamed her: "Miss Ning, your eyes are still not good, how can you walk around?"

Ning Ning glanced at him and said, "Aren't you going to Tianzhu Mountain?" Lu Jian said, "Yes!" Ning Ning said, "You're walking?" Lu Jian said, "Yes." Ning Ning sneered, " Can you walk?" Lu Jian couldn't help being silent, Ning Ning said coldly: "You ride this cow." Lu Jian hesitated: "This cow..." Ning Ning said: "I bought it from the farmer " Then he took a gauze package from the back of the cow, and when he opened it, the smell of wheat was savory, but there were several white flour buns.Ning Ning handed it to Lu Jian, and took a can of rice milk from the cow's neck, all begged from the farm.

Lu Jian took the steamed buns and rice milk, was stunned for a moment, and started to devour them.Seeing that he ate deliciously, Ning Ning smiled and said, "Is it that delicious?" Lu Jian's eyes were red, his mouth was full of food, and he hesitated, "This is the best meal I've ever eaten. Nothing can compare to delicacies from mountains and seas.”

Ning Ning was stunned, sighed, and turned her head to look. In the distance, there were many mountains and green hills, lonely peaks were towering green, and the mountains and forests seemed to meet the sky. A few thin clouds seemed to be painted on the blue sky.

Just as he was in a trance, he suddenly heard Lu Jian say, "Miss Ning, don't you want to eat?" Ning Ning said, "I ate it on the way." Lu Jian smiled and said, "I'm full too." Ning Ning looked at him deeply One glance: "Come on the back of the ox when you are full, and I will lead you away."

Lu Jian shook his head and said, "No, I'm a man, how can I let you hold me back." Ning Ning snorted, and said, "If you're sick, you're not a man." Lu Jian smiled and said, "No An ancient poem says, "You are a man when you are alive, and you are a man when you die? Not to mention being sick." Ning Ning said, "You can lie to people, where is there such a poem?" Lu Jian said: "There must be, but the original words may not say so. "Ning Ning thought for a while and said: "Is it 'to be a hero in life, to be a hero in death'?" Lu Jian scratched his head, frowned and said, "It seems to be this.

Ning Ning smiled wryly and said, "This time you miscalculated, this poem was written by us women." Lu Jian was surprised and said, "Really?" Not feeling at a loss for words, he said for a while, "That's good, let's take turns riding Sit, but I ride, which makes people feel bad."

He insisted again and again, Ning Ning had no choice but to reluctantly agree, Lu Jian resolutely put her first, Ning Ning couldn't compete with him, so she had to turn on the back of the bull, thinking that she would do everything possible to find a mount for him, but let me use it.But for some reason, as she rode the ox and looked at Lu Jian, there was an indescribable and unexplainable sweetness in her heart.

Lu Jian was exhausted, and after walking for a while, he coughed again. Ning Ning hurriedly helped him onto the back of the ox, and led the ox for a walk.Lu Jian gasped for a while, and said guiltily, "Miss Ning, I'm sorry." Ning Ning said, "You can do me a favor by sitting down obediently." Lu Jian sighed, "I don't feel comfortable sitting like this. Can you find something for me to do? Otherwise, I'm really a useless person. "

Ning Ning smiled and said, "You're so dishonest, just tell me a few stories to relieve my worries." Lu Jianxi said, "I'm good at telling stories." It is a pity that Ning Ning's eloquence is mediocre, and he is not as good at talking nonsense as Lu Haihai. All the fantasy and strange talks through his mouth become bland and tasteless, and there is no magic at all.

After listening to a few times, Ning Ning said, "What's so good about this? It's better to tell your own story." Lu Jian scratched his head and said, "My own story is even worse." Ning Ning said, "If you don't tell me Come out, how do you know it doesn't sound good?"

Lu Jian thought for a while and said, "My life was normal when I was a child. I fought with people twice, but unfortunately I lost both." Ning Ning wondered, "Why did you fight with people?" Lu Jian said, "The first time I was going to sell fish in the town, and a few little hooligans robbed me of fish. When I got angry, I fought with them. There were so many of them, they pressed me into the muddy pond, and almost suffocated to death.”

Ning Ning blushed, and said angrily: "These people are really bad, what happened later? Did you take revenge?" Lu Jian said: "Later, grandpa came out to me and injured one of them, and he was locked up by the yamen for several days." Ning Ning was silent for a while, then asked again: "What about the second time?"

Lu Jiandao: "The second time was also to sell fish. At that time, there was a fisherman named Huang in the town. Everyone called him big yellow croaker. When he saw my fish, he wanted to buy it by force, and the price was extremely low. I refused. He slapped me when I sold it. I happened to be holding a shoulder pole at the time, and my blood surged, so I hit the big yellow croaker hard. If grandpa hadn't arrived in time, I would have been beaten to death. Afterwards, grandpa paid countless attentions, held a banquet, and invited a rich and respectable family to intercede, and then the matter was calmed down. Since then, grandpa has Don't let me sell fish, call me like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, it will only make trouble for him."
