Ugly Man

Going out of the back door, there is a small courtyard with two empty nurseries and a row of small clay stoves.

"These are all left by my mother. The land under the Tianshan Mountains is barren and the medicinal materials are scarce. In the past, my mother would plant some medicinal materials in these two nurseries by herself. These two rows of clay pots were my father's own hands. I made it for myself, and boiled it for medicinal purposes. At that time, my father’s body was not very bad, so he took me to dig the mud. We both made these clay pots in this yard."

Lu Nanzhu pointed to one of the skewed shapes, and the smallest stove said, "I made that one."

Xia Qinyi kept listening with a smile. Following Lu Nanzhu's simple recount, he went back to the time when Lu Nanzhu was young.

She saw a gentle and beautiful woman, holding a medicine shovel, carefully and caring for the medicinal materials in the nursery.

Then, the woman turned her head back with a smile, looking at the big and the small in the yard.

Such a warm picture is an experience Xia Qinyi has never had before.

She couldn't help turning her head to look at Lu Nanzhu beside her, seeing that there was also a slight smile on her face, presumably Xiao Lu thought at this time, it should be the same as herself.

The two returned to the main hall of the Medicine House, and Xia Qinyi saw a painting hanging on the west wall.

He walked forward, and Lu Nanzhu explained: "This is my mother, this painting was painted by my father, and the words below are written by my father."

Upon hearing the words, Xia Qinyi carefully looked at the woman in the painting. The woman has an extremely beautiful appearance, elegant and dignified.

"Your brows and eyes are very similar to your mother."

"Well, Dad also said, my eyebrows are like mother's, and my nose is a little bit like daddy."

Xia Qinyi looked at the two lines of small characters in the lower right corner of the scroll again, and couldn't help reading it out: "Life and death are broad and Zicheng said, hold your hand and grow old together."

"My father said that this was his only wish after meeting his mother; it's a pity that they didn't grow old together. After we moved here a few years ago, father died, and then mother went too."

Xia Qinyi couldn't hear Xiaolu's sad tone, took her hand, and softly comforted: "The dead are like this, they will always be together."

"Um!"

That night, grandma grandma prepared dinner and invited Lu Nanzhu and Xia Qinyi over.

At that time, the two had finished bathing, and both changed back to women's clothing.

Grandma grandma saw Xia Qinyi, she liked it so much, she took her hand and praised: "This girl is so smart, how did you and Nanzhu meet?"

This is a slightly embarrassing question, and Xia Qinyi casts his eyes on Lu Nanzhu for help.

Lu Nanzhu touched his nose, and replied, "She... drowned, and I met her after I rescued her."

Xia Qinyi glared at her: It's also fortunate that she can describe bathing as drowning and stealing as saving people.

But on second thought, there seems to be a connection. Tangchi does have water, and the night pearl of the East China Sea is also to save people.

"Well, we have grown up in the village. You are the first friend she brought back. If you will go out in the future, please ask Miss Xia to take care of her."

"Grandma, don't worry, I will."

Five people were seated, and there were four simple dishes on the table, three vegetarian dishes and one meat dish.

Lu Nanzhu knew that this was already the highest courtesy of Grandma's grandson, but for Xia Qinyi, such a dish was rather crude.

However, Xia Qinyi eats very naturally, and always praises her grandmother's craftsmanship.

Grandma was very happy by Xia Qinyi, and the meal was a pleasant one.

On the way home, Xia Qinyi suddenly said with emotion: "Next time I go out, I will definitely bring more cash. This time I bought too few items, divided into five parts, and there is not much for one family."

"thanks."

"Don't thank me, grandma is a good person, and I also like little bean sprouts and little tigers."

Early the next morning, Lu Nanzhu cooked wild vegetable porridge and ate with Xia Qinyi, and then took her out and walked north.

The two climbed up the Tianshan Mountains, walked a very dangerous icy path, and came to a cliff.

Xia Qinyi looked at the bottomless valley under her feet and asked suspiciously: "This is...?"

Before Xia Qinyi finished speaking, Lu Nanzhu hugged Xia Qinyi and jumped off the cliff.

"Ah~~~~~~!"

Xia Qinyi yelled in fright, Lu Nanzhu held Xia Qinyi tightly with a triumphant smile on his face.

And Xia Qinyi was so scared that she hugged Lu Nanzhu's neck tightly, her face stuck to Lu Nanzhu's neck, and she couldn't help screaming.

After landing steadily, Lu Nanzhu looked at Xia Qinyi in his arms, grinning in pain: I didn't expect her breath to be so long, from the moment she jumped down to the bottom of the valley, her ears were hurting.

Xia Qinyi felt Lu Nanzhu touch her, and the whistling wind in her ear disappeared. She put her arms around Lu Nanzhu's neck and glanced out secretly.

The two of them were on an ice platform, and there was a pool of water a few feet below.

Lu Nanzhu saw the tears hanging from the corners of Xia Qinyi's eyes and was startled, and quickly put her firmly beside her, holding Xia Qinyi's face in both hands, and wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.

"Sorry, I... I didn't mean it."

Xia Qinyi was really frightened. Without a hint beforehand, she was directly held and jumped off the cliff. She thought she had died like this!

However, when Xia Qinyi saw the self-blame, nervousness and pity in Lu Nanzhu’s eyes, she couldn’t lose her temper. The big one overflowed his eyes and cried.

Xia Qinyi cried more and more fiercely, Lu Nanzhu was flustered and blamed himself, and couldn't help wiping away Xia Qinyi's tears, but the tears grew more and more.

She didn't know what to do, so she hugged Xia Qinyi in her arms, buried her face in her arms, and sucked tears with her chest.

With one hand around Xia Qinyi's waist, one hand stroking the long hair on the back of his head, he softly coaxed: "I'm sorry, Qin Yi; I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't scare you, don't you cry, okay? My fault, don’t cry, hit me, scold me, punish me, don’t cry."

Xia Qinyi held Lu Nanzhu's waist tightly with her hands and nestled in her arms for a long time before raising her face, whispering and saying: "I...I'm afraid of heights!"

Looking at this person with pear blossoms raining and red eyes, Lu Nanzhu felt that he had made a huge mistake, and he wished to make up for her with all his money.

There was a firm thought in Lu Nanzhu's heart: In this life and this life, she will never cry the person in her arms again.

Lu Nanzhu didn't know what to do, but was distressed, so she hugged Xia Qinyi tightly in her arms again, pressed her ears, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I will never make you cry again. NS."

Hearing the promised words, Xia Qinyi's heart was like a small deer bumping, even more violent than when she "jumped off a cliff" just now.

Blushing, she took off Lu Nanzhu's arms and lowered her head.

Lu Nanzhu took Xia Qinyi's hands and held them in his hands: "Come, come in."

Xia Qinyi moved with Lu Nanzhu, only to realize that they were standing outside an ice cave.

Inside the ice cave, there are obvious traces of someone's life. There are ice-carved bookshelves, screens, tables, chairs, and even an ice bed.

Lu Nanzhu took Xia Qinyi to sit on the bed, and the latter was surprised to find that the bed was actually warm.

"This is a warm jade bed, and thanks to it back then, I would have died of freezing."

Hearing the word "death", Xia Qinyi squeezed Lu Nanzhu's hand and asked nervously, "What's the matter?"

"Actually, I didn't know any martial arts back then. When I was thirteen years old, my mother was seriously ill. I heard the old people in the village say that Tianshan Snow lotus can cure my mother's disease, so I carried my mother on my back and crawled secretly. I went up to the Tianshan Mountains and picked the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus, but when the snow lotus got it, the rope suddenly broke. I just fell from the place just now and fell into the cold pool below, but luckily I didn't die."

Xia Qinyi felt very distressed: It turned out that Xiaolu experienced the feeling of fear just now when he was 13 years old.

"This ice room is where my master's monsters live in seclusion. I was soaked and shivering with the cold. I saw this ice cave and wanted to climb up to escape the cold wind. I didn't expect there to be a cave inside. Thanks to this warm jade. The bed was saved from freezing to death. It is also a strange thing. Back then, there were ready-made flint and firewood in this cave. It was like the master and the old man did not know the prophet and knew that someone would fall into the bottom of the valley. I used the ready-made He’s dried firewood to dry his clothes and caught Tan Zhong’s fat fish belly and survived."

"What happened then?"

"Later~"

Lu Nanzhu pointed to the bookshelf in the ice room, and continued: "Later, I tried many times and couldn't climb up, so I slowly gave up; there was no sun and moon at the bottom of the valley, and life was really boring, so I started to borrow. I read the books on the shelf one by one. One day I finally finished reading the books on the shelf, but another incredible thing happened..."

Next, Lu Nanzhu gave her the adventures of the year and the content of the letter that the strange man left to her, including how he later practiced the magic arts, how his appearance was completely destroyed, returning to the village, his mother was no longer, and the village was frightened. The residents, helplessly ran back to the bottom of the valley to practice with great concentration.

On the day when the heavenly devil's power became successful, he almost went into a devastation again, and died nine deaths for a lifetime.

There are also the Dragon Sword and the Silver Dragon Inner Armor hidden under the cold pool, as well as the second letter left by the strange man, as well as how her appearance has recovered, and the strange man tactfully mentioned in the letter: I hope her The descendant, there will be a chance in the future to compete with the descendant of the Dragon Sword and the Phoenix Blood Sword, and there may be surprises.

All these things have been explained in detail.

The author has something to say: The second update is coming, please call for my hard work.

Xia Qinyi: People are super afraid of heights, SOBADBAD, small fists punch you in the chest, 嘤嘤嘤 (╥╯^╰╥)

Lu Nanzhu: [Cover your chest, step back three steps] WORD day, I suddenly feel so cute, what should I do?
