Under the careful care of Miss Ji, Yin Xiu's injuries gradually recovered.
As the injury recovered, Yin Xiu also tried to practice, but he found that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was very thin and scarce, so that the speed of practice was extremely slow.
While Yin Xiu was recovering from his injuries, he and Miss Ji gradually became familiar with each other. The insinuating person also found out from the other party's mouth that the name of this girl Ji was exactly as he expected, her surname was Ji and her first name was Xueqing!
Yin Xiu was not surprised or surprised by this.
He guessed it the first time he saw 'Ji Xueqing'. At the same time, I also thought of some more speculations, but everything still needs to be verified.
To a certain extent, Yin Xiu himself wanted to see how all this would develop. Therefore, he just went with the flow and did not resist all this.
In other words, even if he wanted to resist, there was nothing he could do now.
So, after Yin Xiu recovered from his injuries, 'Ji Xueqing' did not let him go, and he did not take the initiative to leave. He continued to live with 'Ji Xueqing' in that dilapidated adobe house.
They even help 'Ji Xueqing' carry water and chop firewood every day, and occasionally go to the mountains to collect herbs together...
'Ji Xueqing' seemed to be getting more and more intimate with Yin Xiu. She always smiled brightly and sweetly in front of him, and from time to time she would show off the attitude of a shy and angry little daughter.
Naturally, 'Ji Xueqing' seems to have fallen in love with Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu also allowed it to develop naturally. It seemed that his consciousness was split into two parts, one of which seemed to be aloof and looked at everything in the world calmly and indifferently.
The other part of consciousness is passively involved...
Being with your lover is a very sweet and happy time. At least 'Ji Xueqing' seems very happy and satisfied every day. Some hard work has become no longer hard work.
As long as you see the person you love, you will feel sweet in your heart, especially when your lover is still by your side, working and eating with you every day. Watching the sunrise and sunset together depending on each other... No matter how painful it is, I don't even feel it.
It seems like the days should go on like this.
Even Yin Xiu felt that maybe he should repeat his previous life, marry 'Ji Xueqing' and have children, then live an ordinary and warm life, and finally die...
pity. After all, everything did not develop as Yin Xiu expected.
"Brother Yin, it's great to have you by my side. Since my parents passed away, I have been living alone, and sometimes I feel very lonely. I really hope that this moment will never pass. Brother Yin, you can always Stay with me like this until the end of time..."
'Ji Xueqing' leaned gently on Yin Xiu's shoulder. He raised his head slightly with affectionate eyebrows, stared at Yin Xiu's side face, and whispered with happiness and longing.
The two of them were sitting quietly on the steps in front of the house, watching the sunset gradually setting in the distance. The whole scene looked peaceful, warm and beautiful.
Hearing 'Ji Xueqing's words, Yin Xiu couldn't help but pat her shoulder and looked into the distance.
Just as he was about to speak, several black shadows suddenly jumped out from the forest on one side. These black figures were clearly masked men in black. They all held long knives with cold light in their hands, and they rushed straight towards Yin Xiu and 'Ji Xueqing' with ferocious anger...
"Yin Xiu, today is your death day!"
One of the black figures suddenly shouted loudly, covering his face with a kerchief, and his exposed eyes flashed with a cold light, full of murderous intent.
Yin Xiu and 'Ji Xueqing', who were immersed in the beauty of the sunset, were startled by the sudden appearance of the man in black. Yin Xiu instinctively protected 'Ji Xueqing' behind him and stared closely at the few people who were rapidly approaching. The man in black surrounded them.
"kill!"
At this time, several men in black roared together. His murderous intent broke out and he swung his knife towards Yin Xiu.
Although nearly a year has passed, Yin Xiu's cultivation level has only improved slightly due to the thin spiritual energy. Facing the siege of five or six men in black. In an instant, he fell into a dangerous situation.
He felt that his body seemed to be restrained in some way, and he was aware of it, but his body could not keep up with the reaction of his consciousness.
Moreover, each of these men in black has a higher level of cultivation than him.
In the blink of an eye, Yin Xiu had several bloody wounds on his body. This made 'Ji Xueqing', who was protected behind him, scream in fright.
"Ah, Brother Yin, be careful!"
Sudden. 'Ji Xueqing' yelled. She saw a man in black behind Yin Xiu who wanted to take advantage of Yin Xiu's heart. So after instinctively yelling, her body subconsciously blocked Yin Xiu's body...
Phew~
The cold blade suddenly pierced into Ji Xueqing's chest, and warm and sticky blood immediately flowed out slowly and dripped down the blade.
Yin Xiu turned around and saw the scene behind him, his eyes widened instantly, and an unspeakable sadness emerged in his heart...
"Yin, Brother Yin..."
'Ji Xueqing' looked back at Yin Xiu with difficulty. She put one hand on the long knife that had penetrated her body, and her palm was covered with bright red blood. After calling Yin Xiu, his eyes closed weakly, and his body slowly fell down...
'Ugh! '
'Chi~'
The man in black who was holding the long knife and piercing 'Ji Xueqing''s body suddenly pulled the long knife out of 'Ji Xueqing''s body. Suddenly, a scarlet blood arrow spattered out, and 'Ji Xueqing''s body also completely fell to the ground. Falling to the ground, there was no sound.
There was more and more dazzling blood under her body, gradually covering the floor...
"You deserve to die!"
Yin Xiu suddenly glared at the man in black who killed 'Ji Xueqing', his eyes filled with a fierce light and cruel color that rarely appeared!
However, the words he spoke were not directed at the man in black. When he yelled these words angrily, Yin Xiu suddenly raised his head and faced the sky...
The moment Yin Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain came, and the body seemed to lose the support of strength in an instant, and fell forward.
He lowered his head and glanced at his body. With his gradually blurred eyes, he only saw that he was split in half by a knife diagonally from his left shoulder. His internal organs and countless blood were dripping all over the floor...
'boom! '
Yin Xiu vaguely felt his body fall to the ground. Immediately afterwards, his consciousness quickly blurred until he completely fell into darkness.
At the moment when he lost consciousness, what appeared in front of Yin Xiu's eyes was the look in Ji Xueqing's eyes that looked back at him with difficulty when she was about to die. There was despair, but also a strong sense of unwillingness and regret.
However, what shocked Yin Xiu the most was the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of happiness!
Probably, she felt that it was a happy thing to be able to block that knife for herself, even if the price was her own life...
That look, that smile, Yin Xiu knew that he would probably never forget it in his lifetime.
Even if...
Even if all this is not true... (To be continued.)
