Bei Ran sat on a small bench in the school yard, a branch in her hand absentmindedly poked on the ground, and the flat sand and gravel ground was scraped out of several ravines by her.

Chu Wang sat on the side and wiped his sword, looking at her soulless appearance, and said helplessly: "Stop, if you poke it again, everyone will have to come to make up for the ground." ”

Bei Ran came back to his senses, saw his masterpiece, threw away the branch in his hand, and sighed silently, once this person is idle, loneliness will see the stitches coming.

Then he looked at Chu Wang's shiny sword, and said with disdain: "What is there to wipe a broken sword, and it can be wiped every day." ”

Chu Wang put away his precious sword, "It's not broken, I spent a lot of money to ask the master of the mountain to help me fight, it's sharp." He rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Or, let's have a competition?" ”

Bei Ran thought about it, and anyway, he had nothing to do, so he said, "Okay." ”

When the two entered the field, everyone stepped back and gave them a large position.

Chu Wang held his long sword in his hand, and Bei Ran's eyes swept over the landing platform, and he chose a long whip.

"Are you sure you want to use this?"

Bei Ran tried to pull it, this whip is good, quite strong, "That's it." ”

For more than a year, she didn't learn much of the poetry and books that Ji Changkong taught her, but her martial arts acquisition was not bad, and there were significant changes compared to before.

"Yo, I didn't see it, the little girl who was even afraid of caterpillars back then is so powerful now."

Bei Ran reprimanded with a whip: "Don't talk nonsense, my whip will not be merciful, it's none of my business to beat you." ”

Chu Wang dodged away and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be merciful, I'm going to be serious too, you should be careful." ”

After that, the long sword in his hand was pulled, and the lightning-like sword attacked the north with an extremely strong killing aura.

Bei Ran stared at the tip of the sword that was approaching her, remembering the trick that Ji Changkong had taught her.

"The whip is a weapon used to fight from afar, and it cannot be killed by touching the body, but only by taking the right position in battle and using skill can it be easily won."

So she took two steps back, widening the distance between her and Chu Wang, and then the long whip in her hand reached out like a snake, smashing Chu Wang's wrist holding the sword.

But halfway through the whip, she suddenly woke up again, why did she think of Ji Changkong again? The strength in his hand weakened, and the whip softened.

At this moment of distraction, Chu Wang's sharp long sword had come to her side, and it fell on her shoulder without any mistake. The sword light flashed in front of him, and Beiran came back to his senses, looking at the sharp blade that was a stone's throw away from him, and his heart chuckled.

At the same time, Chu Wang withdrew the sword and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not comparable, it's not comparable, I've been absent-minded all day long, do you know that if I hadn't collected it quickly, your little life would have been handed over to this new sword." ”

Bei Ran also felt bored, so he threw the whip aside casually, and went back to the small stool to sit down.

Chu Wang looked at her and shook his head helplessly.

A newly opened pharmacy in the side alley was crowded with people, and the business of the medical clinics in the next few alleys was much bleaker. There are no more than two reasons why everyone comes here to see a doctor: one is that the doctor of this family is a great benevolent person who helps the world with a pot, and he does not charge money for medical treatment; The second is that this eldest lady is young, good-looking, and kind to others, so she has won the favor of most people.

There are also many young girls who heard that he was good-looking, and came here without seeing a doctor, just to see his world-class face.

The long queue of the crowd has not broken from morning to night, and it is almost late at night when all the patients are sent away. Ji Changkong closed the door of the medicine store, and his face was full of exhaustion.

Jing Wu jumped out of the water mirror on the side, looked at him with a tired face, and said: "You help people see a doctor for free every day, and there will only be more and more people in the future. ”

Ji Changkong said: "It's okay, it's just a doctor, it's not a big deal." ”

"Isn't it a big deal? Isn't it a big deal to see a doctor from the moment you wake up in the morning and don't finish until it's dark? You are a god, if you were a mortal, after all these days, you would have died suddenly. ”

Ji Changkong was silent, so he washed his hands with the basin of cold water that Jingwu cast.

Jingwu shook the folding fan and looked at him: "Look, I'm so tired that my little face is a lot sharper." But you haven't told me yet, why did you suddenly leave the village and quarrel with Bei Dye? ”

“…… Sort of. ”

"Heh, I didn't expect you to quarrel with someone." Jingwu thought it was funny, "What's so noisy, you've been looking for her in this world for so many years, and now it's about to be complete, it's too late to be happy, what kind of quarrel?" Even if something doesn't go your way, you don't know how to let her order? ”

Ji Changkong said: "I let it." ”

"You let it? But I don't think you're letting her go, it's like scolding her miserably. ”

“……”

"I said, if you don't go back and apologize to her, she will be soft-hearted and reconciled."

"And not good."

"How to reconcile is not good, you have not even tried to say that it is not good. This woman, it's all knife mouth and tofu heart, you think about what she likes, prepare it first, give it to her when she apologizes, and she forgets everything when she is happy. Jingwu said with a straight head, as if he had experienced it himself, "Hey, I still have a little ice silk there, or you can take it to make a kite or a head rope for her, doesn't she like kites, it will definitely work to do this." ”

Ji Changkong was silent for a long time before saying, "No need. The voice was so light that Keigo almost couldn't hear it.

"Not necessarily? Why? Are you really going to give her away like this, and what are you waiting for for thousands of years? ”

Ji Changkong was choked by him so much that he couldn't say a word, and Jing Wu said again: "Besides, if you have really decided not to get along with her in the future, then why don't you run away, but stay in a place so close to her, aren't you waiting for her to come to you?" ”

Poked in the center, Ji Changkong's calm eyes finally turned a wave, sighed slightly, and then said, "I didn't." ”

Seeing that he was still trying to quibble, Jingwu shook his head helplessly, "I'll tell you, this person didn't wait, you have to ......"

What else did Jing Wu have to say, Ji Changkong wiped out the water mirror with a wave of his hand, and Jing Wu's voice was also isolated from the distant sky, and it couldn't enter his ears again.

He sat down in his chair, thinking back to what Keigo had just said: If you weren't waiting for her to come to you, why were you staying close to her?

And his answer of "no" did contain an element of sophistry, and in his heart, there was indeed a little hope that she might come to him. But more reason, it was just that he wanted to be closer to her, so that if she was in danger, he could get to her as soon as possible. As for reconciliation or not, it is not so important.

Once, she prayed on the kite she flown on: "May you win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated."

Now it seems that as long as she can be safe and happy, the person who will accompany her to old age does not necessarily have to be him.
