Chapter 7 The sixth time Orchid in the empty valley

Wen Daidai smiled and spat: "Little girl, in another year, if I don't tell you, you will beg me to tell!" She moved her steps lightly while arranging her temple hair. Passing through a curved corridor and stepping down three stone steps, there is a white stone path.The clean and round stones, like pearls, glisten in the sunlight, leading straight to a crescent-shaped portal.After passing through this heavy gate, there is a back garden with sparse trees and colorful flowers.A winding spring bypasses two swings and forms a small pond under the rockery. There are three or five lotus flowers, seven or eight lotus leaves, and a pair of ducks and mandarin ducks roaming.

Wen Daidai stared at the mandarin ducks, stared blankly for a while, and then walked towards the rockery. It turned out that there was also a door on the rockery, and the door must be "Tingyuwu". She pushed open the door lightly, and there really was another world in the rockery. She walked through an exquisite small hall and raised a red curtain.Inside the curtain was a rich fragrance, the light was light red, and a brocade tent with fringed gums, Yun Zheng was still unconscious, sleeping peacefully in the soft brocade quilt. Wen Daidai thought about it, gently took the medicine bag on Kai Yunzheng's forehead, and sat down on the side of the bed, the pink light made the corners of her eyebrows and eyes more spring-like.

After a while, Yun Zheng woke up leisurely.He seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and when he turned his eyes and saw her, a reassuring smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Wen Daidai smiled lightly and said, "Did you sleep well?" She took out a gauze scarf and wiped the sweat off Yun Zheng's forehead. Yun Zheng said: "Thank you, Miss, I feel much better already!" He was struggling to sit up, but Wen Daidai had already lightly pressed his shoulder, and said softly: "Don't move around, be careful that the wound will open again."

Yun Zheng said in a panic: "I have never met the girl before, and I am grateful for being able to escape from the tiger's mouth with the help of the girl. How dare you disturb me any more?" Wen Daidai said softly: "You just take good care of your wounds, don't talk too much, let alone think wildly. If you are disobedient, I will get angry." She coquettishly made a coquettish look, that kind of charming style is peerless It's hard to describe even if it's a good hand. Yun Zheng let out a long sigh, and said, "I'm... I'm..." Wen Daidai's caring words and gentle smile filled the enthusiastic young man with gratitude, and he felt his throat choked up for a while, unable to speak.

Wen Daidai raised her eyebrows, her face was immediately covered with a smile like a spring flower, and she said with a coquettish smile, "By the way, this is a good boy." She gently arranged the bedding for Yunzheng, and Min'er was already holding a piece of jade. The plate came in, with a golden scissors and some medicines in the plate. Wen Daidai said: "Close your eyes, I will change your medicine." Yun Zheng's face flushed red, and he murmured: "This... this..." Wen Daidai smiled and said: "What does it matter, treating the disabled and helping the old and the weak is what humans should do, let alone..."

She smiled sweetly, bowed her head and said, "What's more, you and I have a special affinity for each other?" She and Min'er didn't allow Yun Zheng to say anything at all, so they quickly and carefully changed the wound medicine for him, took another packet of medicine powder, and asked Yun Zheng to take it. Yun Zheng was even more moved.He grew up in a difficult environment, under the encouragement of his strict father, how many times has he received such kind and gentle care?What's more, he felt that this beautiful woman had such a kind heart, that she would take care of a stranger who was asking for help so wholeheartedly.So this passionate young man, with nothing but gratitude left in his heart, without even the slightest bit of vigilance, really healed his wounds in this gentle village with peace of mind.

Time slips away in calm... ※※※ But during this same period of time, Tie Zhongtang's life was full of turmoil, thrills, turmoil, and excitement... It turned out that Tie Zhongtang fell off the hanging rock, and his rest was not long. After a brief period of dizziness, a burst of singing suddenly sounded in his ears. The singing voice is beautiful and clear, singing over and over again: "Who is your last name, where are you from, why have you been dizzy, but I hope you wake up soon, you know how anxious I am waiting!" Tie Zhongtang was startled and surprised, and suddenly opened his eyes.

I saw a long-haired girl sitting cross-legged next to him, looking up at the blue sky above the gully, singing in a melodious voice, as if she had already sung out of her mind. Tie Zhongtang looked up from the bottom, but couldn't see her face, only saw that she was wearing linen clothes, which were filthy and torn, and he was actually laying on her lap. Shocked, he immediately rolled sideways and fell off the girl's lap. The girl also stopped singing and bowed her head. Although her singing voice was soft and sweet, her face was surprisingly dirty, as if it hadn't been washed for a long time, only a pair of eyes were still black and white.

Tie Zhongtang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Miss..." Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the girl sang again: "Who is your name and where are you from?" Tie Zhongtang was even more surprised in his heart, and couldn't help staring at the girl in a daze. The girl rolled her black eyes, pursed her mouth and sang, "Why didn't you answer what I asked you? Could it be that you can't speak? Could it be that you are a little dumb?" Tie Zhongtang was amazed and funny at the same time, he thought to himself: "If I hadn't met such a woman at this moment, I would have thought she was an actress!"

At that moment, he could only cough dryly, and said: "I really can't tell whether the girl is talking or singing, so..." The girl smiled coquettishly, and sang: "My speech is singing, you shouldn't answer if you don't answer!" Tie Zhongtang was stunned for a moment, and the girl smiled coquettishly and sang again: "If you don't answer me again, I'll hang you back to the mountain wall." In the tender laughter like a silver bell, she actually wanted to hang her again. Tie Zhongtang picked it up. Tie Zhongtang saw her crazy and naughty face, convinced that she could really do anything, and immediately said loudly: "My surname is Tang Mingzhong."

He is cautious by nature, at this moment, even to such a young girl, he dare not tell his real name, he changed his mind, and said again: "Girl, you..." The girl giggled and sang: "My name is Shui Lingguang, and I was born here since I was a child." Tie Zhongtang turned his gaze, and saw that the bottom of the ravine was surrounded by withered vines, weeds, water and swamps. His current shelter was a blue mountain and rocks. Where could human beings live?Feeling very surprised in my heart, I blurted out and asked: "The girl really lives here?" The girl nodded, with a sudden look of resentment in her eyes, she sang softly: "I stand on this rock all day long, and I don't know what the world above is like. If I can go up and take a look, I will die too." Don't be sad." The singing is sad and moving. Tie Zhongtang felt pity in his heart, wondering how this young girl survived in this desolate and difficult place.Material lack is certainly uncomfortable, but spiritual loneliness is even more sad.Tie Zhongtang couldn't help thinking to himself: "After more than ten years of such a sad and difficult life, it's no wonder that she has become a little dull, talking to people, but also singing." After thinking about this, he sighed: "There is only one girl. people?" The girl sighed sadly, and sang softly: "I have no father and only mother since I was a child, and I don't know how I came to this place!" Tie Zhongtang looked up and looked as far as the eye can see, and saw the mountains and rocks on both sides, with a height of one hundred feet, and the lower section was covered with moss, which was really difficult for birds to cross.His heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "If there is really no way out here, do I want to be like her and spend my whole life here?" Thinking of this, I felt a sudden chill in my heart. Looking around, I saw Shui Lingguang standing up suddenly, half of his muddy calf was exposed under the half-length knee-length sackcloth.She stretched her back to the sky, her sad expression immediately changed to a smile. She swung her waist extremely quickly, clapped her hands and sang loudly: "Whole fat pigs on iron racks, The pine branches below are creaking, That dripping pigskin! baked to a golden brown, I cut off a big piece of pork! Please have a taste. " She giggled coquettishly, gestured, handed it to Tie Zhongtang's mouth, and sang to herself: "Please, try..." Seeing her sad and laughing suddenly, Tie Zhongtang couldn't help being surprised, but he couldn't help smiling when she attracted her. Seeing him smiling, Shui Lingguang looked even happier, and sang with a smile: "My mother once told me that one should not be too sad. I only allow myself to be sad for a moment every day. After that moment, I will sing!" She danced around Tie Zhongtang's body, and sang again: "Although I have never eaten fat pork, I can enjoy the sun every day, dreaming about pork in the sun, and your heart will never be sad again!" Tie Zhongtang sighed secretly: "If the people living here can't learn to enjoy the hardships, life is really unbearable. But how did she and her mother come here?" He knew that the girl's life experience must be a sad and strange story; he also guessed that the girl and her mother must possess martial arts.Because people without martial arts will definitely not be able to live in this kind of place.So, did they hide here to avoid revenge? Who is their enemy?What is their origin? These questions flashed through Fang Zizai Tie Zhongtang's mind, and a voice came from a distance: "Ling'er, why don't you come back to cook?" The voice was deep and deep, Tie Zhongtang could only feel that the speaker was close to his ear.This kind of profound inner strength made Tie Zhongtang's heart tremble.Shui Lingguang had already bent down and said, "Go...go, take...take you...you go...to see...Mom!" In just one sentence, she stuttered for a long time before she could say it. Tie Zhongtang thought about it, and suddenly thought: "So she stutters, no wonder she doesn't want to talk, she always sings. I often hear people say ten stutters, and nine of them stop stuttering when they sing. Now it seems , It’s really good.” In a flash, the girl hugged her body. She rolled her eyes and said softly: "I... I rarely... have anyone... to accompany me... I... talk, so... no... no... will say... you... ...Are you laughing... laughing at me...?" Tie Zhongtang sighed softly: "How could I laugh at you? I must always talk with you in the future, and your problems will definitely be cured." Shui Lingguang smiled, and said: "You... you are so kind!" He stretched his body and swept away two feet lightly. Her body is light and agile, like Lingbo Haiyan.Seeing that her mother and daughter have such advanced martial arts, Tie Zhongtang couldn't help wondering where they came from. As soon as she thought about it, the girl rose and fell several times in succession, and she flew tens of feet away. She flitted among the chaotic grass and swamps without feeling any effort, Tie Zhongtang thought to himself that even though he was not seriously injured, his lightness kung fu was far behind her. "Big Banner" trains his disciples very strictly. Tie Zhongtang has practiced martial arts since he was a child.But at such a young age, this young girl's martial arts are actually higher than Tie Zhongtang's, this is a surprising thing, I can't imagine how she learned martial arts.Looking up, I saw a mountain rock with a height of four zhang, standing in front of my eyes, the stone was extremely clean, as if I had been scrubbed frequently, which was not commensurate with the surrounding conditions. Arriving here, Shui Lingguang suddenly slowed down her pace, one foot deep, one foot shallow, and started running among the chaotic grass and mud, as if her martial arts had suddenly weakened by 90%. When she walked more than ten feet in front of the blue stone, she was panting violently. Tie Zhongtang thought about it, and Da Qi thought: "Could it be that she has been hiding the fact of her own unique skills from her mother? Then where did she learn martial arts from?" The more he thought about it, the more strange he became, and he couldn't help asking softly: "Could it be that your martial arts..." Before he finished speaking, Shui Lingguang covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes were full of panic, he shook his head lightly, and said in his ear: "No...don't say it!" Tie Zhongtang was full of amazement and puzzled, he saw her panting around the blue stone, behind the blue stone was a cave, the blue stone path was used as a screen for the cave. Although the long and narrow cave was gloomy and dark, it was cleaned very cleanly. Shui Lingguang wiped her shoes made of goat hemp on the ball of goat hemp at the entrance of the cave, and walked in step by step respectfully.After walking more than 20 steps, the cave turned to the left and suddenly opened up. Tie Zhongtang turned his gaze, and saw a cave with a radius of four to five feet, surrounded by piles of mountain hemp, withered vines, and wild Huangjing yam.On a hemp rope, three dried dead birds were hung. There is a water tank at the corner of the cave, which receives the water droplets dripping from the mountain gap, and the sound of water drop by drop breaks the gloomy silence in the cave.Next to the sink, there is a stone stove. Tie Zhongtang took a hasty look at these neatly piled things, and then his gaze was fixed on another corner of the cave. In the faint light, on a stone bed covered with goat bedding, sat cross-legged a thin woman with white hair and sackcloth.She was so thin that only skin and bones remained, her cheekbones were high, her eyes were big and deep-set, exuding the light of a beast, she was looking at Tie Zhongtang gloomily, as if Fang Bai had escaped from hell The demon ghost is like a ghost, and it makes people feel cold when they see it.The most frightening thing was that her eyes were full of hatred and resentment towards the world, and she suddenly roared, "Where did this person come from?" Tie Zhongtang's heart trembled, he never imagined that such a huge roar could come out from this skinny body, it shook the caves all around and buzzed. Shui Lingguang was so startled that his whole body trembled, he said: "He...he...was...from...the mountain...the mountain...up...up..." She already stuttered, but now in front of the white-haired old woman, she stuttered even more, even though she was sweating profusely, she still couldn't speak a word. Tie Zhongtang sighed secretly: "I never imagined that she would be so afraid of her own mother. No wonder she couldn't recover from her stuttering disease." At this point, he interrupted and said: "I was seriously injured in my lower body and fell from the mountain wall. Thanks to this girl's rescue, I was able to save my life." The white-haired old woman let out a cold "hum", looked at Tie Zhongtang from head to toe, and suddenly said sharply: "Who are you? How could you be injured?" Tie Zhongtang had already been put down by Shui Lingguang at this moment, leaning against a pile of hemp, and said: "In Xia Tang, he was forced by his enemies and was outnumbered..." The white-haired old woman's eyes lit up, and she said, "Tang Zhong, are you a disciple of the Tang family in Sichuan? Who are your enemies?" Tie Zhongtang shook his head and said, "I am a disciple of Xingyi Sect. My enemy is the villainous 'Five Poison Gang' on the West River." He expected that the old woman would be trapped in the bottom of the valley for a long time, so she would not know anything about the world, so he made up the name "Five Poisons Gang" at will, and made up his own origin at will. The cold eyes of the white-haired old woman flickered around, and she said coldly: "Since you have arrived here, what are your plans for the future, you might as well tell me." Tie Zhongtang sighed, and said: "I was taken by the enemy, and I was seriously injured. Even if I have any plans, I have to wait for the injury to recover..." Before the words were finished, the white-haired old woman suddenly laughed wildly. She laughed sharply: "The food here is not enough for my mother and daughter, and the clean water is extremely precious. Where is there a place for you to heal your wounds, are you dreaming!" Tie Zhongtang felt a chill in his heart, and Shui Lingguang's expression also changed drastically! She took a step ahead, stood in front of Tie Zhongtang, and said, "I... I'll give... to him..." She was innocent, and there was no love in her heart. She only knew that this man was rescued by her. Yes, he should be protected—this may be a woman's potential maternal instinct. The white-haired old woman smiled coldly, and said sharply, "Are you going to give him your share of food and water?" Shui Lingguang widened his eyes and nodded. The white-haired old woman slapped the stone wall with her back and said angrily, "What about you?" Shui Lingguang said: "I...I don't...it doesn't matter." Before the words were finished, the white-haired old woman suddenly flew up from the stone bed, and slapped the surface of the water spirit twice like lightning. Before the applause fell, she flew back to the bed. Shui Lingguang still stood motionless with his head bowed. The white-haired old woman scolded: "Okay, you don't eat or drink, are you willing to die of hunger and thirst for him, then what will you tell me, a crippled old woman, to do?" Tie Zhongtang's heart trembled, he never thought that this old woman with such skill as the wind was actually crippled, so he changed his mind and hurriedly said: "Senior..." The white-haired old woman suddenly turned her head, stared at him intently, and said coldly: "My daughter wants to give you the food, but she is willing to starve to death. Did you hear that?" Tie Zhongtang sighed: "Miss Shui's kindness, although I am grateful, I absolutely cannot accept it..." The white-haired old woman sneered and said, "Since you can't accept it, die quickly!" Shui Lingguang cried out in alarm, and said, "Mother, you... bear... bear..." The white-haired old woman said sharply: "Why can't I bear it? In this world, there are many cases of brothers killing each other and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law killing each other. What's more, he has never met us. What does his death have to do with us?" Shui Lingguang was terrified, and before he could speak, Tie Zhongtang said loudly, "I'm not seriously injured, but I'm just too tired. I only need to rest for a couple of days before I can work. When that time comes, I will definitely go find some food." Qingshui, take double and return it to seniors." The white-haired old woman laughed sharply: "Give it back to me twice, it's easy for you to say, do you know that the food here is more precious than gold?" She laughed and said in a hiss: "Food Let's not talk about it, especially water...water...look at the drops of water..." She pointed back at the sink and said, "Except for this place, there is no water anywhere. Can three people drink the water here?" Tie Zhongtang turned his eyes and saw that the dripping water from the sink was really like tears, even less than tears. His thoughts turned and he said: "Where is the rainwater?" The white-haired old woman sneered and said, "There are no trees here, only withered vines and weeds. Even if there is rain, there is nothing to hold water, not to mention that there is very little rain here." Tie Zhongtang sighed and glanced at Shui Lingguang, only then did he realize why she was so dirty, and immediately sighed: "If that's the case, that's all!" Shui Lingguang suddenly said: "Mother... only... as long as you... will... wash your face... let... let him have a little..." The white-haired old woman opened her eyes and cursed angrily: "Okay, you damn girl, tell me not to wash your face, and give the water to this stinky boy, you, you... What an unfilial stinky girl, you Why don't you learn from your father, he would rather ask his wife to die for the sake of his mother!" In an instant, a string of inspiration flashed in Tie Zhongtang's heart. Jiguang Pianyu immediately had an image in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly shouted: "Brother Sheng, you are wrong!" Sure enough, the white-haired old woman trembled and said in a trembling voice, "What did you say?" Tie Zhongtang was secretly happy, knowing that his thoughts were a bit right, he deliberately shook his head and sighed: "Nothing?" The white-haired old woman opened her eyes wide in anxiety, and said loudly, "Are you going to tell me?" Tie Zhongtang said: "I'm just guessing randomly, maybe it's wrong." The white-haired old woman put her hand on her chest and said loudly: "Say it quickly, it doesn't matter if you're right." Tie Zhongtang smiled and said, "My mouth is so dry, I can't speak anymore." The white-haired old woman gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Water, give him water!" Shui Lingguang was amazed, wondering how this young man could impress his mother with just a few words. She walked to the sink, scooped up a ladle of water, and held it in front of Tie Zhongtang. Tie Zhongtang smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Shui, please go first." Shui Lingguang was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at her mother. The white-haired old woman snorted coldly and said, "Drink!" Shui Lingguang's eyes flashed, he raised his neck, drank all the water in a ladle, scooped up another ladle, and handed it to Tie Zhongtang.Although she didn't say anything, her eyes could not help showing her affection for Tie Zhongtang. When Tie Zhongtang finished drinking the water, the white-haired old woman immediately said sharply: "Give him some more food, so that he won't have to drink too much." Tie Zhongtang smiled and said, "Senior knows what I mean." He ate some Huangjing mountain grains indiscriminately, and his spirit immediately lifted. The white-haired old woman said: "You can talk now, right?" Tie Zhongtang took a breath, and said: "Senior was originally the most gentle and gentle nature, but now he has become like this, it must be because he has gone through some very sad things." The white-haired old woman was stunned for a moment, and Tie Zhongtang couldn't help but secretly rejoice, knowing that what he had expected was not far from the truth.The white-haired old woman's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said sharply: "How do you know what happened to me before? How do you know the stimulation I have received?" Tie Zhongtang said: "Although I am speculating, but..." The white-haired old woman yelled angrily, and said, "Conjecture...Hmph, to be honest, are you the one that the old woman sent to search for my mother and daughter?" Her voice was deep and stern, like thunder. Tie Zhongtang's voice remained unchanged, and he said, "Is the old woman that seniors are talking about, but Mrs. Sheng?" The expression of the white-haired old woman changed even more, and she shouted sharply: "Who are you?" When she heard the word "Sheng Da Niang", she seemed to feel fear, and her body trembled slightly. Tie Zhongtang sighed and said: "Senior, just rest assured, I am also Aunt Sheng's enemy, and I have great sympathy for what happened to senior." The white-haired old woman said: "What happened to me? How do you know what happened to me?" Tie Zhongtang's eyes flashed, and he said: "In the past, there was a famous female swordsman in the martial arts world, 'Tender Hand' Shui Rousong, she must be the senior." The white-haired old woman was shaken again, and said: "Song of Shuirou...Song of Shuirou..." She suddenly raised her palms and flew up from the bed. Tie Zhongtang felt a blur in front of his eyes, and she had already grabbed the hem of his clothes. Shui Lingguang didn't know what they were talking about, but now her expression changed drastically, and she said in a trembling voice, "Mother, you...you...old...old..." She was so startled that she stayed on the ground, unable to move for half a step. The white-haired old woman said sharply: "Say...Say! How do you know I'm Shui Rousong?" She couldn't move her legs, and she fell to the ground at this moment, but the strength of her palms was so amazing that she had already crushed Tie Zhongtang The placket was pinched. Tie Zhongtang only smiled slightly, and said calmly: "If senior doesn't let go of my clothes, how can I speak calmly?" The white-haired old woman shouted: "Are you going to say it?" With a tight palm, the knuckles of the index, middle and ring fingers were tightly grasped on Tie Zhongtang's breastbone. As long as the palm was moved forward, Tie Zhongtang would It is necessary to break the thoracic bone. Unexpectedly, Tie Zhongtang's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly: "Senior is so aggressive, it's hard to breathe freely, let alone speak." The white-haired old woman said angrily: "You know that I want to hear it very much, so that I can deliberately blackmail you, don't you?" Tie Zhongtang smiled and said, "Senior really knows people." The white-haired old woman stared at him fiercely for a while, then suddenly let go of her palm, and said in a hateful voice: "If you don't speak clearly, I will split you into eight pieces." Tie Zhongtang said: "I don't know how to speak when I'm in a bad mood." The white-haired old woman's chest rose and fell, and she was obviously trying to suppress the anger in her chest, and she also tried to lower her voice, and said, "Okay, can you tell me soon?" Shui Lingguang was even more surprised watching from the side. She never thought that her mother would be so tolerant to others one day, and she couldn't help feeling even more amazing about this boy for a while. Tie Zhongtang turned his gaze, and said slowly: "There is actually nothing mysterious about this matter. 'Purple Heart Swordsman' Sheng Cunxiao, since he was seventeen years old, has married three wives successively, but they all died one after another. According to what Aunt Sheng spread in Jianghu, it was said that the three Mrs. Sheng died at the hands of my Daqimen disciples, but my teacher was very surprised and angry, because he knew that the Daqimen disciples never asked these three Ma'am, let's do it." The white-haired old woman's face twisted for a while, and she said, "Tie Lishan and Hua Xiangming were also killed by Daqi's sect?" Tie Zhongtang sighed: "The Daqi Gate has entered the Central Plains several times, and their deep hatred has not been repaid, but they have taken a lot of blame for some unscrupulous people in the martial arts. They know that if they miss the Daqi Gate, they will die all over Retiring, in order to transfer many difficult accounts to Daqimen!" He paused, and then continued: "At that time, the teacher was very suspicious that these things were all the hands and feet of Mrs. Sheng. She I am afraid that my daughter-in-law will take away my son's love, so I will kill my own daughter-in-law, but her methods are vicious and cunning, not only to deceive the eyes of the world, but also to conceal Sheng Cunxiao in an impenetrable way." The white-haired old woman snorted coldly and said, "You just think Sheng Cunxiao really doesn't know anything? He's just pretending to be confused." Tie Zhongtang was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "No wonder he hasn't dared to remarry until today, alas, this man really deserves to be a dutiful son!" The white-haired old woman bowed her head silently and said: "So he hasn't continued..." Suddenly her eyes turned cold, and she said sharply: "But how do you know that I am Shui Rousong?" Tie Zhongtang said: "Conjecture..." He pondered and said slowly: "I heard that the girl's surname is Shui, and I saw that you must be in pain, senior, so I had an idea, so I tentatively called out: 'Brother Sheng As expected, senior's complexion changed greatly. At that time, I knew that the speculation was not far away. The only thing I still had some doubts about was that senior seemed to be much older than he should be. But after thinking about it later, the hard work Years, worry and anger naturally tend to make people old, so I dare to say that the senior must be the "tender hand" Shui Rousong who was murdered by Mrs. Sheng nearly twenty years ago!" In the desolate and dim light, I saw the "hand of tenderness" Shui Rousong sitting on the ground like a ghost, his face was full of grief, indignation and sorrow, obviously he had fallen into the painful memories of the past. Shui Lingguang opened his eyes wide, looked at Tie Zhongtang for a while, looked at her mother for a while, and sat down on the ground, sobbing softly. After a long, long time, Shui Rousong said slowly: "I never thought your mind would be so sharp, you... You guessed everything well." She gritted her teeth, and continued in a voice of hatred: "About twenty years ago, I The five families fought hard against Daqimen on this mountain for several days, and finally gained a little upper hand, but I was exhausted and pregnant again, so I quietly begged Mrs. Sheng to let me go back earlier, but she listened to me She said that she would never allow me to have children and take away her son’s love, and I was startled. She had already pushed me off the cliff. Although I was lucky enough to survive, but my two legs Already..." Her face was contorted again, and she stopped speaking suddenly, her eyes were filled with sorrow and hatred. Tie Zhongtang sighed: "Senior, you still survived in such a difficult environment. This junior really admires you from the bottom of your heart!" Shui Rousong said bitterly: "That period of unbearable days tortured me into such a state, but I survived after all!" Her eyes full of hatred slowly moved to Tie Zhongtang, followed by Said: "At that time, I was just like you now, tired, sad, and seriously injured." A vicious smile slowly appeared on her face, she looked at Tie Zhongtang and said: "But I am a woman, and since I am pregnant, Being disabled again, the situation is far more desperate than yours, I can survive alone in this environment, you are a man, why can't you?" Tie Zhongtang felt a chill in his heart, and said, "Senior means..." Shui Rousong sternly said: "Although I won't kill you, I can't support you either. Get out of here quickly, otherwise... Humph, maybe I have to do it!" With a palm support, she returned to the bed without looking at Tie Zhongtang again.Shuiling Photovoltaic was on the ground, sobbing softly, and did not intend to dissuade. Tie Zhongtang was stunned for a long while, he had exhausted all his wisdom, trying to impress Shui Rousong's heart, but at this moment, he knew that he was completely hopeless.He clenched his fists tightly, raised his eyes, struggled to stand up, and walked out, but just as he was out of the hole, he immediately fell to the ground.For a useful life, he is willing to struggle with all his strength and wisdom. However, he never begged for mercy, let alone begged! Drinking water and mountain food had restored him to a little bit of energy, but the walk from the cave made him exhausted.He stretched his limbs, lay on his back on the ground, and tried his best to relax the muscles and nerves of his whole body. Then, he tried his best to concentrate and silently adjusted his breath.Looking up at the sky, twilight is coming, and a more difficult struggle is about to begin—the struggle for survival is not only hard, but also cruel!He knew that before the night came, he had to find a hiding place to avoid the attacks of snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants. After the sun went down, a white mist-like stench emanated from the swamp.He found some dead vines, tied them to his legs, held his breath, and carefully chose his path.He acts cautiously and never misses a step.Looking up, there is a pale white moon mark in the dark blue sky.The fog filled the sky and the sky was getting darker. It was gradually difficult to distinguish the road ahead. Tie Zhongtang looked up to the sky and sighed, and sat down in the mud.He really couldn't support it anymore, and he was really at the end of his rope.Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and he swept back, and Shui Lingguang had quietly arrived in front of him, without saying a word, he gently helped him up. In an instant, Tie Zhongtang didn't know what it was like, and said, "Miss Shui, you..." Shui Lingguang shook his head, Tie Zhongtang could only stop talking.At the end of the day, when he met a person who helped him, the emotions in his heart at that time were definitely beyond the comprehension of anyone who had not experienced the situation. He only thought that Shui Rousong had changed his mind, but he didn't know that Shui Lingguang actually supported him to go in another direction, and he couldn't help asking: "Where are we going?" Shui Lingguang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and sang softly: "I'll let you guess and think about it, but you'll never know where I'm going to take you now? " At this moment, Tie Zhongtang only felt that the singing was so sweet, and he no longer felt that it was a foolish thing to replace words with singing.He only felt that his body was light and light, because the water aura had already borne the weight of his whole body. After walking for a while, Shui Lingguang finally gently hugged him, but still covered his eyes lightly with one hand, moved lightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't look, don't think, I will definitely take you to a magical place." place!" The cordial singing voice infiltrated the bitterness in Tie Zhongtang's heart, but there was also some pain in this faint sweetness. Because Tie Zhongtang knew that there would never be any "magic and good place" in this desolate place at the bottom of the abyss. , and later walked into the cave, filled with the sound of wind and whistling. When the wind gradually died down, Shui Lingguang finally moved his palm away. But Tie Zhongtang still didn't dare to open his eyes, and only heard Shui Lingguang sing with a smile: "Open your eyes and have a look, and see where this is!" What a surprise! It's because wherever his eyes can see, they are all rare treasures that are hard to see in the world, and many pearls of luminous light illuminate his eyes with flowers. In every corner, there are more than ten corals that are several feet high.Strings of agates, green emeralds, white pearls, and some treasures that Tie Zhongtang had never seen were hung on the coral branches.In the farthest corner, there was a brocade couch, although it was old, it was extremely beautiful, and beside the brocade couch, there were still more than ten pools of fine wine that had not been removed from the mud.In an instant, Tie Zhongtang couldn't speak. His eyes were wide open, his mouth fixed.He would never have imagined that at the bottom of this hellish swamp, there really was such a heavenly and magical place! Shui Lingguang's eyes flashed with joy and complacency, he put Tie Zhongtang gently on the brocade couch, and said with a smile, "Strange... Strange?" Tie Zhongtang was stunned for a long time, Fang Zichang sighed: "It's really strange!" Shui Lingguang smiled lightly, turned around and ran out abruptly. It turned out that there was a cave behind the treasure cellar. In the silence of everything, there were pleasant sounds of running water in the cave. Tie Zhongtang leaned on the brocade couch in a daze, at this moment, everything made him feel that this body was in a dream, and he couldn't believe it.But after his astonishment calmed down, he immediately made a judgment on all the circumstances, and thought to himself: "This must be the place where Shui Lingguang can use martial arts. Shui Rousong must not allow her daughter to learn martial arts, and Shui Lingguang will not allow her to learn martial arts." Dare to resist my mother, so I dare not tell this place about my martial arts." But there are still some things that Tie Zhongtang can never guess. Who actually lives in this place?Is this person alive or dead?Where did these jewels come from? What is the reason and fate of Shui Lingguang to come here? While thinking about it, I only heard Shui Lingguang singing in the cave over there: "Close your eyes quickly, there is one more thing I want to surprise you." Tie Zhongtang couldn't help but close his eyes immediately - the only thing in the world that can move him is the kind emotion, the pure emotion.He only felt a burst of fragrance coming to his nostrils. Then came Shui Lingguang's voice with a charming smile: "Okay!" Tie Zhongtang slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly felt a light in his eyes! In the glow of pearls all over the cave, the one standing in front of her is a beauty with a radiant face, skin like snow, as if molded from jade! She was wearing a palace attire adorned with pearls, and she looked even more like a fairy amidst jewels and jewels. The smile on her face was so bright that Tie Zhongtang could no longer believe his eyes. He couldn't believe that the beauty standing in front of him at this moment was the water spirit that was covered in mud just now, but the facts made him believe it. 她仿佛是一粒沉溷于泥污中的明珠，虽然长久被污泥掩去了光芒，但泥污一去，光芒反倍觉照人。 铁中棠呆了半晌，只见水灵光轻轻旋了个身，轻轻道：“比……比起别人，我……我丑不丑？” 铁中棠长叹道：“你难道不知道？” 水灵光摇了摇头，道：“我……现在的……的样子……，从来都没有人看……看过，直……直到今天。” 铁中棠默然点了点头，心中不禁暗暗忖道：“空谷幽兰，以空谷幽兰这四字来形容于她，当真再也恰当不过。” 抬目望外，只见水灵光面上满是幽怨之色。 他终究是个男子，是以无法了解少女的心情，——少女们若是连自己是美是丑都不知道，那种心情之痛苦怎会是男子所能了解？ 良久良久，他方自忍不住叹道：“美……” 水灵光面上突地飞了一片欢喜的笑容，举起双臂，又轻轻转了个身，娇笑道：“我……我真的美？” 铁中棠又点了点头，道：“自然是真的！” 水灵光娇笑着扑到铁中棠身上，道：“谢谢你，你真好！”这句话说得清清爽爽，流流利利，哪里还有口吃之病？ 铁中棠心头一动，大喜道：“你的毛病好了！” 水灵光呆了一呆，睁大着眼睛道：“真……真的？” 她心情紧张，立刻又口吃起来。 铁中棠叹道：“水姑娘，你只要心里没有畏惧，不再紧张，我确信你的病必定会好的。” 水灵光嫣然一笑，在榻边坐了下来，垂首半晌，忽然长叹道：“娘若……能……能看……看我……我这样子，就……就好了……” 铁中棠道：“你为何不愿被她看到？这里究竟是什么人住的地方？”
