Wei Wuxian's heart hangs up, "I was seen? Run away now? Or not?"
At this time, there was a thin cry from the wall. In the sound of Tata's footsteps, a man said softly: "Don't cry, your face is smeared."
This voice was very familiar to both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng, and it was Wen Chao!
Immediately afterwards, Wang Lingjiao murmured, "Is it because you don't like me anymore?"
Wen Chao said, "How come? I like Jiaojiao no matter what."
Wang Lingjiao said emotionally, "I'm really scared and scared... Today I was really... I almost thought I was going to be killed by that bitch and I'd never see you again... Young Master Wen... I... "
Wen Chao seemed to hug her and comforted: "Don't talk about Jiaojiao, it's all right. Fortunately, Wen Zhuliu protected you."
Wang Lingjiao said angrily: "You still mention him! That Wen Zhuliu, I hate him. If he hadn't come late today, I wouldn't have suffered so much. My face still hurts, it hurts so much... "
It was obviously because she reprimanded Wen Zhuliu for not letting him dangle in front of her eyes that she was beaten on her own accord, but now she began to confuse black and white again. Wen Chao liked to listen to her grievances and act like a spoiled child, and said, "It doesn't hurt, come here, touch me... It doesn't matter if you hate him, but don't make him anxious. This person's cultivation is very good. My father said no. Little time, he is a rare talent, and I hope to use him for a few more years."
Wang Lingjiao said unconvincingly, "talents... so what about talents. Sect Master Wen has so many famous people, so many talents, thousands of them, can't it be enough without him?"
She was implying Wen Chao, punishing Wen Zhuliu to vent her anger, Wen Chao laughed twice. Although he doted on Wang Lingjiao quite a bit, he didn't dote on him enough to punish his personal bodyguard for being a woman. After all, Wen Zhuliu had blocked countless assassinations for him. He didn't say much, and he was tight-lipped. He would never betray his father, which meant that he would never betray him. Such a loyal and powerful bodyguard was rare. Seeing that he didn't care, Wang Lingjiao added, "Look at him, he's obviously just a pawn under your command, so arrogant, I was going to slap that bitch Yu just now, but he wouldn't allow it. Everyone is dead, just corpses. If you don't look down on me like this, doesn't that mean you don't look down on you?"
Jiang Cheng didn't catch it, and slid off the wall. Wei Wuxian quickly grabbed his back collar.
Both of them had tears in their eyes, and the tears rolled down their cheeks, hitting the backs of their hands and the ground.
Wei Wuxian remembered that when Jiang Fengmian went out this morning, he and Madam Yu had an argument. The last words they left to each other were not gentle words. I don't know if they will meet for the last time, and if Jiang Fengmian will have a chance to say one more word to Madam Yu.
Wen Chao disapproved and said, "He's just such a temperamental, eccentric person. No matter what a soldier can kill, he can't be shamed. Everyone is killed by him, so what do you do when you talk about it."
Wang Lingjiao agreed, "That's right. Hypocrisy!"
Wen Chao liked to hear her agree with him, and laughed. Wang Lingjiao gloated again and said, "This bitch Yu deserves it. Back then, she relied on her family's power to force a man to marry her. In the end, what's the use of getting married? It's not that people don't like her. She has been an abandoned woman for more than ten years. , everyone laughed behind her back. She didn't know how to restrain herself, and she was domineering. In the end, this is also retribution."
Wen Chao said, "Really? That girl is quite pretty, why doesn't Jiang Fengmian like her?"
In his cognition, as long as it is a good-looking woman, there is no reason for a man not to like it. The only ones who should be cast aside are the plain-looking women, and the women who refuse to sleep with him. Wang Lingjiao said, "Think about it, you know, the bitch Yu is so strong, she is clearly a woman, but she whips a whip and slaps people all day long. She has no education at all. Jiang Fengmian has to be dragged down by her after marrying such a wife. old mold."
Wen Chao said, "That's right! A woman should be like my Jiaojiao, obedient, gentle and lovely, with all her heart toward me."
Wang Lingjiao giggled. Hearing these unpleasant vulgar words, Wei Wuxian was sad and angry, shaking all over. He was worried that Jiang Cheng would break out, and Jiang Cheng might be too distressed, as if he had fainted, and he didn't move. Wang Lingjiao said quietly: "Of course I can only focus on you... Who else can I focus on?"
At this time, another voice interjected and said, "Master Wen! All the houses have been searched, and there are more than 2,400 magical treasures that have been counted and are being sorted."
That's something from Lotus Pier, it's something from the Jiang family!
Wen Chao laughed and said, "Okay, okay! At this time, it's time to celebrate. I think we'll have a banquet here tonight. Make the most of it!"
Wang Lingjiao said tenderly, "Congratulations to your son on entering Lotus Pier."
Wen Chao said: "What lotus dock, changed the name, demolished all the doors with the nine-petal lotus logo, and replaced them with the sun pattern of Qishan Wen's! Jiaojiao, come and show me your best singing and dancing! "
Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng couldn't listen anymore. The two climbed down the wall, one deep and one shallow, and stumbled away from Lotus Pier. After running for a long distance, the laughter and laughter of the rabble in the school field still lingered, and a woman's charming singing happily floated over the lotus dock, like a poisonous knife, cutting one by one. their ears and hearts.
After running for several miles in one breath, Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped.
Wei Wuxian also stopped, Jiang Cheng turned around and turned back, Wei Wuxian grabbed him and said, "Jiang Cheng, what are you doing! Don't go back!"
Jiang Cheng shook his hand and said, "Don't go back? Are you talking human words? You told me not to go back? My parents' bodies are still in Lotus Pier, can I just leave? Where else can I go if I don't go back? !"
Wei Wuxian held on tighter: "What can you do when you go back now? They even killed Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu, and you will be dead if you go back!"
Jiang Cheng shouted, "If you die, you will die! If you are afraid of death, you can get out, don't get in my way!"
Wei WuXian took action and said, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. The body must be brought back, but not now!"
Jiang Cheng dodged dodged and shot back, "Isn't it when? I've had enough of you, get out of here!"
Wei WuXian shouted, "Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu told me to take care of you and take care of you!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Cheng gave him a shove and roared, "Why?!"
Wei Wuxian was pushed into the grass by him, Jiang Cheng rushed over, picked up his collar, shaking, "Why?! Why?! Why! Are you happy?! Are you satisfied?! "
He grabbed Wei Wuxian's neck, his eyes bloodshot, "Why do you want to save Lan Wangji?!"
Under Dabei and anger, Jiang Cheng had lost his mind and could not control his strength at all. Wei Wuxian broke his wrist: "Jiang Cheng..."
Jiang Cheng pinned him to the ground and roared, "Why do you want to save Lan Wangji?! Why do you have to stand out?! How many times have I told you not to provoke trouble! Don't do anything! You just like being a hero so much. ?! Have you seen the fate of being a hero?! Ah?! Are you happy now?!"
"Lan Wangji, Jin Zixuan and the others will die! You just let them die! What does it have to do with us if they die?! What does it have to do with our family?! Why?! Why?!"
"Go to hell, go to die, go to die! All die for me!!!"
Wei Wuxian blushed and shouted, "Jiang Cheng!!!"
The hand that was grabbing his neck suddenly loosened.
Jiang Cheng glared at him, tears rolling down his cheeks. From the depths of his throat, there was a moaning like a dying, a painful whimper.
He cried and said, "...I want my parents, my parents..."
He asked Wei Wuxian for his father and mother. However, whoever asks for it will never come back.
Wei Wuxian was also crying, the two of them fell down in the grass, watching each other weep bitterly.
Jiang Cheng knew very clearly in his heart that even if Wei Wuxian didn't save Lan Wangji at the bottom of the Xuanwu cave in the Muxi Mountain slaughter, sooner or later the Wen family would have to find a reason to force them to come. But he always felt that if it hadn't happened to Wei Wuxian, maybe it wouldn't have happened so quickly, and there might still be room for a turnaround.
It was this painful fluke that filled his heart with remorse and anger that had nowhere to vent.
When the sky was bright, Jiang Cheng was almost sluggish.
He even slept a few times that night. One is too sleepy, crying out of strength, involuntarily fell asleep. The second is still holding the expectation that this is a nightmare, can't wait to wake up from sleep, open your eyes, you will find yourself still lying in your own room in Lotus Pier. Father was sitting in the hall reading books and brushing swords, mother was complaining again, scolding Wei Wuxian who winked, sister squatting in the kitchen in a daze, racking her brains to think about what to eat today, juniors and brothers jumping up and down for not doing morning class properly. .
Instead of waking up with a splitting headache in the wild grass after being blown by the cold wind all night, and finding myself still curled up behind a desolate and remote hillside.
Wei Wuxian moved first.
He supported his legs, barely stood up, and said hoarsely, "Let's go."
Jiang Cheng didn't move. Wei Wuxian stretched out his hand to pull him, and said again, "Let's go."
Jiang Cheng said, "...Where are you going?"
His throat was dry and hoarse, Wei WuXian said, "Go to the Yu Clan in Meishan and find Senior Sister."
Jiang Cheng waved his outstretched hand. After a while, he sat up by himself and slowly stood up.
The two set off in the direction of Meishan and walked on foot.
Along the way, the two of them fought hard and walked heavily, as if they were carrying a heavy burden.
Jiang Cheng always bowed his head, hugged his right hand, the purple electricity on his index finger touched near his heart, and touched the only remaining relic of his relatives over and over again. Again and again, he looked back in the direction of Lotus Pier, staring at the place that used to be his home but now became a devil's den. Time and time again, it seems that I never get tired of watching it, and I always hold the last little hope, but the tears will never stop coming out of my eyes.
They fled in a hurry, and they didn't bring dry food with them. From yesterday to today, they suffered from severe physical exhaustion. After walking for half a day, they all started to feel dizzy. Leaving the desolate wilderness, entered a small town. Wei WuXian looked at Jiang Cheng, saw that he was extremely tired and didn't want to move, and said, "You sit down. I'll go get something to eat."
Jiang Cheng didn't answer or nodded. On the way here, he only said a few words to Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian repeatedly told him to sit still and not move before walking away. He often stuffed some change into every corner of his body, which came in handy at this time, so that he would not be shy. After walking around, I bought a bunch of food, and also bought dry food for the long road. It took less than a stick of incense to quickly return to the place where they separated.
However, Jiang Cheng disappeared.
Wei Wuxian carried a pile of steamed buns, noodles, and fruit, panicked, and forced himself to calm down. Then he panicked completely, grabbed a cobbler beside him, and said, "Old man, there was a little boy about my age sitting here just now, did you see where he went?"
The cobbler sipped a thick thread and said, "The one you were with just now?"
Wei Wuxian said, "Yes!"
The cobbler said: "I have work in my hand, and I can't see it clearly. But he kept staring at the people on the street in a daze. Later, when I looked up at the place again, he suddenly disappeared. He should have left."
Wei Wuxian murmured, "... gone... gone..."
I'm afraid he went back to Lotus Pier to steal the body!
Like crazy, Wei Wuxian ran in the same direction.
He carried a pile of freshly bought food in his hand, dragged him heavily, and after running for a while, he left them behind. But after running for a while, he began to feel dizzy and exhausted. In addition, his heart was flustered, his knees went weak, and he threw himself to the ground.
This pounce, pounced on the plaster of his face, and tasted the taste of dust in his mouth.
Wei WuXian's chest was filled with overwhelming powerlessness and hatred, and he slammed his fist on the ground heavily, shouted, and then got up. He turned back and picked up the steamed buns that had been thrown on the ground before, wiped it on his chest, swallowed one whole in two mouthfuls, chewed his teeth like flesh and blood, swallowed his throat, and felt a dull pain in his chest. He picked up a few more and shoved them into his arms, holding a steamed bun while eating and running, hoping to stop Jiang Cheng on the way.
However, until he ran back to Lotus Pier, the night sky was full of moon and stars, and he didn't see Jiang Cheng on the road.
Wei WuXian looked at the brightly lit Lotus Pier from a distance, his hands resting on his knees and he couldn't help gasping for breath, a bloody smell that was characteristic of running for a long time spread across his chest and throat, his mouth was full of rust, and his eyes turned black.
He thought to himself, "Why didn't you catch up with Jiang Cheng? I ate something, and I can only run so fast. He is more tired than me, hit harder than me, can he still run faster than me? He really is back. Is Lotus Pier here? But if he doesn't come back here, where will he go? Don't take me, go to Meishan alone?"
After adjusting his breath for a while, he decided to go to Lotus Pier to make sure. Sneaking against the wall, there was a voice in Wei Wuxian's heart, almost desperately praying: "This time, no one will ever talk about Jiang Cheng's body on the school ground again. Otherwise, otherwise I..."
otherwise
Otherwise what can he do
No matter what. There was nothing he could do. Lotus Pier was destroyed, Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu were gone, and Jiang Cheng was gone. He is only one person, alone, without a sword, knows nothing, can't do anything!
For the first time, he realized that his power was so small. In front of the Qishan Wen Sect, this behemoth is tantamount to using a man's arm as a chariot.
Wei Wuxian's eyes were so hot that he almost burst into tears. He turned a corner of the wall, and suddenly, a figure wearing a flaming robe of Yanyang came towards him.
In a flash, Wei Wuxian captured the man.
He firmly locked the man's hands with his left hand, strangled his neck with his right hand, lowered his voice, and threatened in the most vicious and vicious tone he could come up with: "Don't make a sound! Otherwise, I will break your throat in one fell swoop! "
This man was tightly restrained by him, and he hurriedly said, "Wei, Young Master Wei, it's me, it's me!"
It was a boy's voice. When Wei Wuxian heard this, his first reaction was, "Could it be someone I know who was undercover in the Wen family's robe?"
But the voice was completely unheard of, and the thought was overturned by him immediately, and he tightened his hand even more, saying: "Don't try to be a ghost!"
The young man said: "I... I don't play tricks. Wei Gongzi, you, you can look at my face."
Wei WuXian thought to himself, "Look at his face? Could it be that he has something hidden in his mouth ready to spit out?"
He twisted the man's face warily and turned around. They saw that this young man had clear eyes and beautiful eyes, and there was a kind of youthful handsomeness all over his body. It was the little son of the Qishan Wen Sect that they saw yesterday when they peeped inside.
Wei Wuxian said indifferently, "I don't know."
He turned the boy's face back, continued to choke his neck, and whispered, "Who are you!"
The young man seemed a little disappointed and said, "I... I'm Wen Ning."
Wei WuXian frowned, "Who is Wen Ning?" But he thought to himself, "Whoever he is, he's a high-ranking person anyway. If he holds it in his hand, he might be able to get someone back!"
Wen Ning said indifferently: "I... A few years ago, at the Baijia Talking Festival in Qishan, I... I... archery... "
Hearing him hesitating, a wave of anxiety rushed into Wei Wuxian's heart, and he angrily said, "What are you?! Are you stuttering?!"
Wen Ning shrank in fright in his hands, as if he wanted to hug his head and squat down, and said softly, "Yes... yes."
Wei Wuxian: "..."
Seeing his cowardly, pitiful and stammered appearance, Wei WuXian suddenly remembered something: "The previous year's Qishan Hundred Schools Talking Festival... Hundred Schools Talking Gala... Archery... Ah, there seems to be such a person!"
Wei WuXian asked tentatively, "Are you the one...Wen...Wen, what is it, the one who shoots well with arrows?"
Wen Ning nodded fiercely, and said happily, "Yes, it's me! Yesterday... I saw you, Young Master Wei and Young Master Jiang, and thought you might come again..."
Wei WuXian said, "Did you see me yesterday?"
Wen Ning said, "Look, I saw it."
Wei WuXian asked, "You saw me but didn't tell anyone?"
Wen Ning said, "No! I won't tell anyone!"
He rarely stuttered, and his tone was firm, like an oath. Wei Wuxian was surprised, and Wen Ning said again, "Young Master Wei, are you here to find Young Master Jiang?"
Wei WuXian asked, "Is Jiang Cheng inside?!"
Wen Ning said honestly, "Yes. I was caught yesterday."
Hearing this, Wei Wuxian's thoughts turned like electricity: "Jiang Cheng is inside, I must enter Lotus Pier. Use Wen Ning as a hostage? It's not very useful, Wen Chao is afraid that he doesn't like this Wen Ning, and taking him as a hostage is fundamental. It's useless! And is he lying? Isn't he from the Wen family? But he didn't tell us yesterday. If I let him go, will he betray me? There are such kind people in Wendogs. Humans? The only way to be sure is to…”
A murderous intent flashed in Wei Wuxian's heart.
He was not originally a murderous person, but his family has undergone major changes, and he has been full of hatred for days, and the situation is severe, and he is not allowed to stay benevolent. As long as his right hand exerted force, he could twist Wen Ning's neck!
Just as his thoughts were confused, Wen Ning said, "Young Master Wei, are you coming back to save Young Master Jiang?"
Wei Wuxian curled his phalanx slightly, and said coldly, "No way."
Wen Ning smiled nervously and said, "I knew it. I... I can help you save him."
For a moment, Wei Wuxian suspected that he had heard it wrong. He was stunned: "...you? You help me?!"
Wen Ning said, "Well. Just, right now, I'll be able to bring him out right away. Just in time, Wen Chao and the others have all gone out!"
Wei Wuxian grabbed him tightly, "You really can?!"
Wen Ning said, "Yes! I, I'm also a member of the Wen family, and I also have a group of obedient disciples."
Wei WuXian sternly said, "Be obedient? Do you want to kill someone at your word?"
Wen Ning hurriedly said, "No, no, no! My disciples never kill people indiscriminately! I haven't killed anyone from the Jiang family. I heard that there was an accident at Lotus Pier, and I came here later. Really!"
Wei WuXian glared at him, thinking, "What's he thinking about? Lying? Fake and false? But this lie is too absurd! Do you think I'm a fool?!"
The scary thing is that he turned out to be really, from the bottom of his heart, there was an ecstasy of surviving in a desperate situation.
He cursed himself inwardly, stupid, useless, absurd, bizarre, and whimsical. However, he was alone, and without a sword, he could not treasure, and there were hundreds of Wen cultivators stationed inside the wall, and perhaps that Wen Zhuliu.
He was not afraid of death, he was only afraid that if he died, he would not be able to save Jiang Cheng and live up to the trust that Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu had entrusted to him. Under such circumstances, the only person he could hope for was the Wen family who had only met three times in total!
Wei Wuxian licked his dry lips, and said abruptly, "Then...can you...can you help me...help me with the remains of Sect Master Jiang and Madam Jiang..."
Unconsciously, he also stuttered. Halfway through, when he thought that he was still holding Wen Ning in a threatening posture, he quickly let go, but he still hid the back move. If he ran away and shouted as soon as he let go of Wen Ning, he would immediately put Wen Ning's head away. Break through. However, Wen Ning just turned around and said seriously, "I... I will do my best."
Wei Wuxian waited in a daze. As he turned around in circles, he thought, "What's wrong with me? Am I crazy? Why did Wen Ning help me? Why should I trust him? If he lied to me, Jiang Cheng wasn't there at all? No, Jiang Cheng wasn't there. It's good inside!"
Not even a stick of incense, that Wen Ning actually came out quietly with a person on his back.
The man was covered in blood, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was lying motionless on Wen Ning's back. It was Jiang Cheng.
Wei Wuxian whispered, "Jiang Cheng?! Jiang Cheng?!"
He reached out and probed, still breathing. Wen Ning stretched out a hand to Wei Wuxian, put something in his palm, and said, "Jiang, Young Master Jiang's purple electricity. I'll bring it."
Wei Wuxian didn't know what else to say, but thinking that he was thinking of killing Wen Ning just now, he said solemnly, "...Thank you!"
Wen Ning said, "You're welcome... Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang's remains, I have already had them removed and handed over to me later. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's go first..."
Needless to say, Wei Wuxian took Jiang Cheng and wanted to carry it on his back. Who knows, at first glance, he saw a bloody welt across Jiang Cheng's chest.
Wei WuXian said, "Quit the whip?!"
Wen Ning said, "Well. Wen Chao, got the Jiang family's whip... Young Master Jiang should have other injuries."
Wei Wuxian only touched it twice, Jiang Cheng had at least three broken ribs, and he didn't know how many injuries he hadn't seen. Wen Ning added, "After Wen Chao comes back and finds out, he will definitely arrest you all over the Yunmeng area... Mr. Wei, if you believe me, I can take you to a place to hide first."
Now that Jiang Cheng is seriously injured and in urgent need of medicine and recuperation, they will definitely not be able to wander like before, starving and full, their situation is almost impossible to move, and there is no way out. Apart from relying on Wen Ning, Wei Wuxian can't think of anything else at all. way!
In the previous day, he would never have imagined that he and Jiang Cheng would have to use the help of a Wen family disciple to escape from life, and perhaps would rather die than give in. But at this moment, Wei Wuxian could only say, "Thank you!"
Wen Ning waved his hand and said, "No... No. Young Master Wei, come this way, I, I have a boat..."
Wei Wuxian carried Jiang Cheng on his back, found the boat that Wen Ning had hidden in advance, and placed Jiang Cheng in the cabin. Wen Ning first briefly cleaned Jiang Cheng's wound, bandaged and applied medicine. Seeing his skillful movements, Wei Wuxian couldn't help but recall seeing him at the Qishan Hundred Schools Talking Gala.
That grand talk event was the year that he, Lan Wangji, Lan Xichen, and Jin Zixuan won the top four in archery.
On that day, before the archery match started, he wandered alone in the city of never night. Shaking, walking through a small garden, I suddenly heard the sound of the bowstring trembling in front of me.
Wei Wuxian passed Lin Fuye in, and saw a young man in a light white coat standing there, drawing a bow and stringing at a target in front of him.
This young man's profile is very handsome, and his bow-drawing posture is standard and beautiful. On that target, a little red heart was already densely packed with arrows. This arrow also hit the red heart.
It's a no-brainer.
Wei WuXian applauded, "Good archery!"
The young man was hit by one arrow. He pulled out a new feather arrow from the quiver on his back. He lowered his head and was about to draw a bow, but suddenly he heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the side. on the ground. Wei WuXian walked out from behind the flowerbed and smiled, "Which son of the Wen family are you? You're so good, beautiful, and you shoot so well. I've never seen archery like this in your family before..."
Before he finished speaking, the young man had left the bow and arrow and ran away without a trace.
Wei WuXian was speechless for a while, rubbed his chin, and said to himself, "Am I so handsome? So handsome that it scares people away?"
He didn't take it to heart, he just took it as a surprise and went back to the square. The match was about to start, and the Wen family was noisy. Wei Wuxian asked Jiang Cheng, "How can they be so troublesome when they hold a talk meeting, there are dramas every day. What's going on today?"
Jiang Cheng said, "What else can happen, the number of places is limited, and we are fighting over who will play." After a pause, he said contemptuously, "The arrows of this group of Wen clan... have all rotten into a virtue, so who will play is not the same? Is there a difference between coming and going?"
Wen Chao shouted over there, "One more! One more, one more! Last one!"
Among the crowd beside him, the young man in white just now also stood inside, looked left and right, and raised his hand after plucking up all his strength. But he held it up too low, and he didn't dare to call his name directly like others did. After being pushed and shoved for a while, someone noticed him and said strangely, "Qiong Lin? Do you want to participate too?"
The boy named "Qiong Lin" nodded, and someone else laughed and said, "I've never seen you take a bow, so what kind of competition are you participating in! Don't waste your quota."
Wen Qionglin seemed to want to justify himself, and the man said again: "It's alright, don't be greedy for freshness, it's all about grades, and I can't control the shame."
Wei WuXian thought, "Shame? If there's someone in your Wen family who can give you some face back, it'll be him."
The disdain in the man's tone was too natural, and Wei Wuxian was not very happy to hear it. He raised his voice: "Who said he didn't have a bow? He did, and he shot it well!"
Everyone looked at him in slight surprise, and then at the boy. Wen Qionglin's face was a little pale at first, because everyone's eyes suddenly focused on him, turning red all of a sudden, and the dark eyes stared at Wei Wuxian hard. Wei Wuxian walked over with his hands behind his back and said, "Didn't you shoot well in the garden just now?"
Wen Chao also turned around and asked suspiciously, "Really? Are you good at archery? Why have I never heard of it?"
Wen Qionglin said in a low voice, "...I...I only practiced recently..."
His voice was low and intermittent, as if he could be cut off at any time, and he was often cut off. Wen Chao interrupted impatiently: "Okay, there is a target somewhere, you can quickly shoot one and have a look. If it's good, go up, if it's bad, let it go."
The space around Wen Qionglin was suddenly vacated, and the hand holding the bow tightened, looking left and right as if asking for help. Wei Wuxian saw his unsure look, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Relax. Just shoot like before."
Wen Qionglin glanced at him gratefully, took a deep breath, and drew the bow.
It's a pity that Wei Wuxian shook his head in the bottom of his heart when he pulled the bow, "It's going to be bad."
This Wen Qionglin had probably never shot an arrow in front of others, his fingertips and arms were shaking, and the arrow flew out without even hitting the target. The people in the Wen family who were watching from the side sneered and said, "Where did you shoot well!"
"I can shoot better than him with my eyes closed."
"Okay, don't waste time, just pick someone out to play!"
Wen Qionglin's face flushed to the bottom of his ears, and he consciously fled away without the others waving away. Wei Wuxian chased after him and said, "Hey, don't run! That... Brother Qionglin, right? What are you running for?"
Hearing him calling him from behind, Wen Qionglin stopped, turned his head down, and said, ashamed from head to toe, "...I'm sorry."
Wei Wuxian wondered, "Why are you saying sorry to me?"
Wen Qionglin said guiltily: "You... You recommended me, but I embarrassed you... "
Wei WuXian said, "What do I have to be ashamed of? You didn't shoot arrows in front of others before, did you? Are you nervous just now?"
Wen Qionglin nodded, Wei WuXian said, "I'm a little confident. Let me tell you the truth, you are better at shooting than your family. Of all the sons of aristocratic families I've met, the archery skills are definitely no better than yours. Three."
Jiang Cheng walked over and said, "What are you doing? Three what?"
Wei Wuxian pointed at him and said, "Well, let's say this, he's not as good as you."
Jiang Cheng said angrily, "Looking for death!"
Wei Wuxian received his slap and said without changing his expression, "Really. Actually, there's nothing to be nervous about. You'll get used to it by practicing in front of people. Next time you'll be impressed."
This Wen Qionglin is probably a descendant of the Wen family's family. His status is not high or low, but his personality is shy and inferior. He shrinks his hands and stutters when he speaks. I screwed up because I was too nervous. If he doesn't enlighten him well, maybe this young man will become more closed to himself from now on, and he will no longer dare to express himself in front of others. Wei Wuxian gave him a few words of encouragement, then briefly said some points that needed to be reminded, and corrected some of the minor problems he had made while shooting arrows in the small garden. Wen Qionglin listened intently and nodded. Jiang Cheng said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense, the game will start immediately, and hurry up and enter the arena!"
Wei Wuxian said to Wen Qionglin seriously, "I'm going to the match now. You can see how I shoot on the court later..."
Jiang Cheng dragged him away impatiently, and spat while dragging: "What are you looking at, do you think you are a role model?!"
Wei Wuxian thought for a while, then said strangely, "Yeah. Am I not?"
"Wei Wuxian! I've never seen such shameless!"
…
Recalling this passage, Wei Wuxian's eyes shifted from Wen Ning to Jiang Cheng, who was covered in blood and eyes closed, his five fingers clenched into fists involuntarily.
They took the water route first, then went down the river by boat, turned to the land route, and then took the carriage prepared by Wen Ning. On the second day, to Yiling.
