Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 166 You Can Regret In Life, But Don't Leave Regrets

Shen Xinniang closed her eyes and leaned against the tree trunk, breathed the air of Lingshan again, and returned to this place.She finally found the place that surged from the depths of her heart, where the calling power guided her.But here, it is no longer what it looks like in memory, and it no longer has the taste of the past.There is no one who gets along day and night.

Some things start here and should end here.

"Lady, should the maid stay with the lady outside?" Jin Xiang hopped one foot to the tree.

Shen Xinniang recovered from her emotions and looked down at her, "No need, there are many insects and ants outside, and you have been on the road for days, go and have a good rest, there are important things to do in the future."

"Doesn't the lady need to take a good rest?" Jin Xiang asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Shen Xinniang replied briefly.

In the night, insects chirped non-stop in the forest, and night birds called from time to time, which could be heard far away, like a baby crying, very scary.

But Shen Xinniang seemed to be ignorant and unable to feel it, her body sitting on the branch remained motionless.

Jin Xiang stood under the tree for a while, felt some numbness in her legs, turned around, walked slowly back to the cave, and leaned against the dry wall of the cave far away from the group of men, sleeping with her eyes closed. go.

At dawn, Shen Xiniang jumped down from the tree.

Qin Ran was uncharacteristically, and ran out without much effort.Jin Xiang didn't get up early today either.On the contrary, a few members of the Qin family got up, "My lady finished eating the fruits she picked yesterday. After so long, I ate all the wild fruits and drank mountain dew and springs. Can we hunt some prey to eat?"

I thought that even if Mrs. Shen agreed, she would scold them first, but they have only been vegetarian for so long, and they don't even have any salt, so they really can't lift up any strength.

"Do you know how to hunt?" Shen Xinniang asked.

"Yes, yes, beasts don't dare to provoke, so it's easy to kill a hare and a pheasant!" The two said quickly.

"Then go, don't go too far, don't get lost, be careful." Shen Xinniang nodded.

Mrs. Shen agreed so readily, the two of them didn't seem to react, and the lady walked away, so they bowed and thanked with a smile on their faces.

Shen Xinniang walked around, always wanting to go to the important place where the master of the Lingshan School used to be.But as if he was still unprepared in his heart, he was even more timid near the nostalgia, and he couldn't help avoiding his steps.She looked around and was about to go back when she ran into Qin Ran who was looking for her.

"Miss Shen, that maid is not well." Qin Ran's expression was not very good, as if he hadn't recovered from the blow.

Shen Xinniang frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Seeing that she hasn't woken up, she's usually alert. She woke up today, but she's still sleeping. I asked someone to call her forward, only to realize that she was unconscious," Qin Ran said.

Shen Xinniang immediately flew back.

Jin Xiang was still lying in the cave, her eyes were closed, her breath was short, and her body was hot.

"You avoid it." Shen Xinniang said.

Qin Ran asked people to retreat and guarded outside the cave.Shen Xinniang first checked Jin Xiang's exposed skin, then her wrist and ankle, and found that her left ankle was already red and swollen, and there was a small red spot under the ankle bone.It was like being stung by some insect.

She chanted the heart formula to draw out the black spring water, wet her cotton socks, and wrap the cotton socks around her entire ankle.Most of the insects in the mountains are poisonous. Some insects are not big, but they are not small. They can paralyze people's hands and feet and make people unable to move. Some can even kill people within an hour.

External use of black spring water is the most effective for detoxification and removal of dirt in the body.If Jin Xiang could soak her feet in black spring water or take a bath, she would naturally recover faster.But now I have to make do with it.

Seeing that her ankles wrapped in cotton socks were slightly swollen, Shen Xinniang dripped some white spring into her mouth.

Not long after, Jin Xiang slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Xinniang's fair face was right in front of her eyes, "Miss?"

Shen Xinniang nodded, "How do you feel?"

Jin Xiang frowned slightly, "My whole body is numb and painful, and I have no strength."

"When did you get bitten by an insect?" Shen Xinniang asked.

"Last night... it seemed that I was stabbed by something. It didn't hurt very much, so I didn't care." Jin Xiang said slowly.

"Look at the wound, it might be a poisonous scorpion." Shen Xinniang said, "It's been too long since last night, your leg..."

Jin Xiang was startled when she heard the words, her whole body was powerless, and her eyes widened in horror, "Lady, lady! What happened to the servant girl's leg? Is it impossible to keep it? Maiden... Is the servant going to become lame?"

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, with regret on her face.

"My lady, my lady... don't scare the maidservant..." Jin Xiang was already crying, "The maidservant still needs to serve the lady and avenge the maidservant together!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and beat her obviously numb leg, "Why are you so careless! Why didn't the lady know about it earlier! Why do you have to bear it yourself!"

Shen Xinniang heard that she kept complaining about herself, and she didn't stop her. When she stopped complaining and began to cry, she slowly said, "Do you know how powerful it is?"

Jin Xiang nodded with tears, "Understood, but it's too late."

"Let's lie down for a day." Shen Xinniang got up and walked outside.

Jin Xiang raised her head in a daze, "Huh? Lay down for a day? Then?"

"Didn't you say that you still want to avenge my teacher with me?" Shen Xinniang looked back at her.

Jin Xiang nodded again and again, and she didn't come back to herself until Shen Xiniang had walked several steps away, "My lady is not joking, but it scares people to death when she jokes!"

The Qin family really came back after hunting their prey.

They lit a fire outside the cave and roasted their prey. Although it was just simple roasted meat, this group of people who hadn't tasted meat for many days were excited. He gasped and gorged himself.

"Tomorrow, you come with me." Shen Xiniang said standing beside Qin Ran.

"Young master, eat meat!" Qin's family sent a roasted wild rabbit over, "Miss Shen, come to eat meat too?"

Both of them shook their heads, their faces were cold, and they had no interest in the delicious hare meat at all.

The Qin family had no choice but to take the rabbit back, and they were all robbed in no time.

"Where are you going?" Qin Ran asked in a deep voice, looking down at the red and black soil under his feet.

"Go and see the important place of the master of Lingshan School, and see, the place where he once lived and taught his children." Shen Xinniang said.

Qin Ran was silent for a moment, his face sullen, "Why do you think I'm willing to go? Why do you think I'm going?"

Shen Xinniang looked at him, "Don't you want to?"

Qin Ran clenched his fists, but did not speak.Let him go and see, the place where he should have lived, the place where he should have practiced diligently with the people in his teacher's school, but now it is just a place completely unfamiliar to him, without any memories.Why is he going?
Qin Ran sneered, "You want to go, but you dare not?"

"Why don't I dare?" Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes, "If you don't go, forget it. Don't tell me, I didn't call you."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, took two pheasant legs, and sent them to Jin Xiang in the cave.

Qin Ran looked at her back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not relax his fist for a long time.

With the matter of Jin Xiang, no one dared to be careless anymore, the insects in this mountain were really not just kidding around.

Early the next morning, when someone from the Qin family got up, Shen Xiniang turned over and got off the tree, walking towards the direction she hadn't set foot in.

But a person came out of the cave, following behind her step by step.

"Aren't you not going?" Shen Xin said without turning her head.

"Since I'm here, I have to understand something, I have to be clear about what I missed." Qin Ran's tone was low, but he was much better than yesterday.

Shen Xinniang paused slightly, "Those of us who survived by chance should be grateful and grateful for his kindness."

"In the past, I was most looking forward to him coming and picking me up. Now I have to be grateful that he didn't show up again and didn't take me away. Life is really ironic." Qin Ran mocked.

Shen Xinniang heard the words, ignored him, and walked quickly through the forest, turning over a small mountain pass, she stopped, took a deep breath, and then continued to walk forward.

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction she was walking.One can vaguely imagine how it looked like it hadn't been burned by the fire.

A series of wooden houses, a dojo for practice.All kinds of flowers and trees planted everywhere...

Now there is only a piece of ruins left, the burnt black ruins, and a hare and a wild fox jump from time to time in the dilapidated ruins.Desolate and desolate.

He took two quick steps and got closer to Shen Xinniang. He saw that she was trying to maintain a calm face, but her clenched fists were trembling slightly, and the veins were exposed on her white hands, and even her steps were not normal. where the stability.

"Why pretend to be strong?" Qin Ran said suddenly, "Even if you cry a lot, no one will laugh at you."

Shen Xinniang turned her face, looked at him lightly, and hummed softly.

She walked faster, walked around the ruins, stopped in some places, flew up the tree, and pasted talismans on inconspicuous places.

"I'm serious, there's no one else here, so you can cry, at most I won't look at it." Qin Ran said, "It's uncomfortable to keep your emotions in your heart, isn't it?"

Shen Xinniang flew down the tree and walked elsewhere.

Qin Ran followed behind her step by step.

"This is the place where inner disciples practice. If you came here, you must be able to practice here." Shen Xinniang said suddenly.

Qin Ran looked along her slender fingers.If he came, would there be one of his houses in this series of small wooden houses?
"The cabins here are all prepared for young disciples who have just entered the inner sect. The master does not teach in person. If you enter the master's sect, you must follow the master. You can choose a place you like to live in the mountains by yourself. Squeeze here." Shen Xinniang said, "It doesn't matter if you build a wooden house or a tree house, if you find it troublesome, just occupy a cave, set up your own enchantment, and let outsiders know that the cave has an owner. Isn't it wanton?"

It seemed like the life he had always longed for should be like.In her description, he seemed to see the teacher he was looking forward to together.

But now... there is only ruins in front of me, and those who missed it will never be found again.Maybe you will regret coming to Lingshan, maybe you will regret facing that fight, but at least, there will be no regrets... Who said that you can regret in life, but you can't leave regrets?
These words really make sense.
