The woman sat up lazily, looked at Ye Ye with half-open eyes, waved her hand lazily, and said: "What's so great about King Yama? Why do you want me to kowtow to you? Besides, you are not King Yama." .”

She lazily turned her head and scanned the river, and said: "I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to die in the end. Forget it, look at it now, the scenery here is not beautiful, and it is indeed not worthy of being my tomb."

Ye Ye was so shocked that he couldn't speak. The woman looked at him and said, "Thank you for saving me. To express my gratitude, I can do something for you.

Tell me, do you want gold and silver, or do you want me to help you kill a few people? Ye Ye was so surprised that he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Did you jump into the river by yourself?" The woman stood up, stood casually, and said, "You just ask me directly if I committed suicide. What do you mean by jumping into the river?" "

Ye Ye stood up and said in surprise: "What happened to the girl? Why..." Before he could finish asking, the woman waved her hand lazily and said: "My life is mine. I will die when I am happy. Who cares? Want me? I never owe anyone, tell me quickly, what do you want?" Ye Ye snorted and said, "I will save you if I am happy to save you, and I don't want anything from you.

Farewell! "With that said, he picked up his luggage and left.

The woman looked at his back, and after a while, she lazily walked forward, followed him, and said lazily as she walked: "Your clothes are all wet. If you keep walking like this, be careful to catch a cold. No one will care about you if you get typhoid fever." .”

Ye Ye only said that the woman was not in her right mind and did not want to pay any attention to her. However, the wind blowing through her wet clothes made her feel unspeakably cold and uncomfortable. The woman said again: "Even if you are not afraid of the cold, but I am soaked all over, if No one will light a fire for me to bake, so I'm afraid I'll catch cold and get sick. If I die, it will be you."

Ye Ye's nose was almost crooked with anger. He turned his head and took a few steps to the woman. He said angrily: "If I didn't save you just now, you would have..." Before he could finish speaking, the woman was already stretching. , said lazily: "Go and pick up some dead branches and leaves, and I will help you make a fire to roast them."

Ye Ye stared at the woman for a long time, but the woman stretched her limbs and shook her neck lazily, which made Ye Ye lose his temper.

Looking at the other party's wet clothes, Ye Ye suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, threw his luggage aside, shook his head, walked to Jiang Gao and gathered a few handfuls of reeds, then went to the nearby sparse forest to break off a few branches and threw them together. In front of the woman, she said: "Let's light a fire."

He saw that the woman was soaked all over, and even if there was someone who could cause the fire, she would have been turned into waste long ago, so he crossed his arms and just waited to see the excitement of this woman.

Unexpectedly, the woman stretched her arms lazily and said, "Shall we make a bet?" Ye Ye was stunned. He felt that this woman was acting unexpectedly, which really made him confused. When the woman saw him Without saying a word, he smiled slightly, and the smile was full of laziness, and said: "Why, you don't dare?" Ye Ye sneered and said: "Joke! What bet do you want to make?" The woman pointed at these things that were not yet dry. , the relatively fresh branches and reeds said: "Just bet on whether I can light it."

If I lose, it's up to you; if you lose, just let me do one thing for you honestly, and then we'll go our separate ways without any debt. "

Ye Ye crossed his arms and said: "This is a good condition. No matter whether I win or lose, it will be beneficial to me. Why not? I would like to see how you can ignite these things."

The woman smiled slightly and said: "A true man keeps his promise, I forgive you and you will not regret it."

As he spoke, he suddenly opened his clothes, revealing his snow-white skin.

Ye Yeben was still a little embarrassed to look at her, but seeing how bold she was, he thought to himself: If you are not shy, how can you be afraid of me, a grown man? He looked directly at the woman, not shy at all, but wanted to see what tricks she would play.

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly turned her palm into a knife and stabbed it into the chest. Ye Ye was startled and couldn't help but scream.

A blood arrow shot out from the wound, but instead of falling to the ground, it circled around the woman. The woman smiled lazily and slowly stretched out her hand. The blood arrow immediately condensed on the top of her palm and solidified into a ball. A long knife with a handle about ten feet long.

The knife, with its sheath and handle, was all blood red, no wider than two fingers, and slightly curved, just like a beauty's eyebrows.

From the first words the woman said, Ye Ye knew that she was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that she had such magical skills. He couldn't help but feel the aura on her body, not wanting to get rid of the extremely weak cold air on the knife. Outside, the woman's body was as empty as a dry well.

The woman moved the knife to her side and placed her right hand gently on the handle. In an instant, her eyes suddenly flashed with light. The original feeling of laziness in her body disappeared immediately, and her whole person seemed to be in a state of confusion. In an instant, it turned into a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice, a sharp arrow ready to be fired, and a life-threatening knife. With a soft sound, the woman swung out her right hand quickly, flicked her left hand back, and the scabbard immediately flew back. He pulled out the sword and slashed forward. A dazzling light flashed, and a string of sparks immediately fell on the pile of branches and leaves. They connected in the air and formed a chain of fire, drying and igniting the branches and leaves instantly.

And after this flash of light, the woman returned to her original laziness. The scabbard circled behind her like lightning, and then turned back to her waist. The long knife was put back into the sheath at some point. , as if it had never been taken out of its sheath.

Ye Ye stared at her blankly, and it took him a long time to regain his composure. He couldn't help but praise: "What a fast sword skill!" The woman smiled faintly, and the long knife turned into blood and scattered on the ground.

She approached the fire and took off her clothes. Ye Ye was startled and could no longer pretend to be calm. She hurriedly turned around and frowned: "What are you doing?" The woman said slowly: "You should take off your clothes quickly, otherwise it won't dry.

Also, you've already lost. "

Ye Ye didn't know how to deal with this woman for a while, and said: "Okay, then quickly put on your clothes, and you will have done something for me."

The woman shook her head and said: "I will put them on after the clothes are dried.

Besides, this matter is not comparable to my life. I ask you not to underestimate the value of my life. "

Ye Ye felt dumbfounded and said, "Are you still relying on me?" The woman nodded and said, "Who told you to save me? Otherwise, I am buried in the river, so how can I bother you?" Ye Ye Qi said: "You have such martial arts at such a young age. What could make you want to commit suicide?" The woman said: "If martial arts can solve everything, then the happiest person in the world will be the one with the best martial arts." of people.

I think your abilities are not weak, but aren't you just like me, full of sadness and confusion? "Ye Ye couldn't help being shocked and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? The woman smiled lazily and said, "A person who can see through people's hearts."

Turn around, I've already put on my clothes, shy big boy. "

Ye Ye turned around helplessly and sighed: "What do you want? Little girl who doesn't want your life?" The woman said: "It's difficult for a woman to love a man who doesn't let women take advantage of him."

Ye Ye said: "I don't want any woman to fall in love with me."

The woman gently lifted her hair, and the elegant white clothes like gauze flowed on her skin like water. The cloud-like hair that was randomly scattered on her head, contrasting with the white clothes, was like an elegant ink painting.

Coupled with her lazy temperament, it makes people wonder if she is in the painting. The woman in front of her is the fairy in the painting.

Ye Ye couldn't help but be a little stunned. In an instant, he suddenly thought of Lianhua.

Both Lianhua and the woman in front of her have a kind of beauty that can make people forget everything around them. That kind of beauty cannot be imitated by anyone. It is a natural temperament.

Seeing this woman, Ye Ye couldn't help but think of Lianhua! At this moment, Ye Ye suddenly developed a good impression of this woman.

And at this moment, the moment when the lotus flower disappeared with Can Yi appeared in his mind again. He felt like his heart was twisting in a knife, he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, his vision went dark, and he fainted.

I don't know how long it took before he slowly woke up, stood up suddenly, and found that he was lying on the spot where he had just fallen, while the woman was sitting by the fire, looking at him with her chin in her hand, and said slowly: "Sorry. There is nothing worse than having a dead heart. You can still vomit blood. It seems that the heart is not dead yet.

There is help. "

Ye Ye knew that he had been unconscious for a long time, but the woman kept ignoring him. He felt annoyed for no reason and hummed: "What do you know!" The woman ignored him and said to herself: "What a pity.

If your heart is completely dead, maybe you can find a beautiful place with me and die quietly.

Now I have no choice but to follow you, wait until I repay your kindness, and then go find a place to live by myself. "

Ye Ye said: "I stopped you from seeking death, so you should seek revenge from me."

The woman shook her head and said: "A life-saving grace should be repaid with death. Even ordinary people understand this truth. Why do you want me to take revenge? What revenge?" Ye Ye said in a deep voice: "Then don't seek death anymore.

This is what I asked you to do for me. "

The woman smiled lightly and said, "You are really interesting.

My life was given by my parents. Apart from them, I am the only one who has the final say. Why do you care about me? Ye Ye said: "Do your parents agree with you to seek death?" The woman was silent for a moment and said: "They are all dead long ago and can't control me." "

These words immediately evoked Ye Ye's sadness, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and sighed: "It turns out that you are a lonely person like me..." The woman shook her head and said: "You are not lonely, at least you still have a beloved. people."

Ye Ye smiled bitterly and couldn't help but said: "So what? She doesn't love me..." The woman said: "But at least in this world, you still have a care and someone to think about.

With this, you are never alone. "

Ye Ye couldn't help but ask: "What about you? Are you done with it?" The woman thought for a moment and said, "That's you."

Ye Ye couldn't help but be stunned, the woman said: "As long as I repay your kindness, I really have nothing to worry about and can die in peace."

Ye Ye looked at this mysterious woman and couldn't help but become more and more curious, and asked: "I really don't understand, why do you have to seek death?" The woman did not answer, but said lightly: "You think you can only vomit blood." Is it extremely sad?" Ye Ye didn't know how to answer or what to say, and for a while, both of them fell into silence.

Only the fire was still burning, making crackling noises, and seemed to be telling his sadness.

After a long time, the last branch was burned to ashes, and the life of the fire ended.

The woman suddenly smiled, stood up, and asked, "My name is Lin Chunchou, what is your name?" Ye Ye asked in surprise, "Lin Chunchou?"
