get married first, fall in love later
Chapter 72
In the early morning, waking up in the arms of your lover accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers must be a very pleasant thing for your body and mind.Therefore, almost at the moment when Qian Xiaobao opened his eyes, Ouyang Xi leaned forward and gave a big kiss, which drove away all the drowsiness remaining in the body of the person who was not fully awake in front of him. .
A gentleman who comes and goes, Qian Xiaobao chuckled, leaned over and pressed Ouyang Xi under him, and then pressed his lips together.This kiss, which was supposed to be tasted lightly, gradually deepened and gradually changed its taste.
I don't know who put the slightly cool hand into the other's chest first, and I don't know who first let go of the belt in front of me. Dry firewood meets a raging fire. Seeing that a love affair is inevitable, there is a "knock knock" from outside the door. " knock on the door.
The two delicate bodies that were close to each other on the bed were about to separate, but the door had already been pushed open from the outside to the inside.
"Master."
Thinking about the strangeness of what happened last night in his mind, Wu Ying who opened the door and entered before waiting for a response, was stunned seeing the two people who were hurriedly covering up on the bed.After a while, he turned around with a reddish face: "Well, I, I didn't see anything..."
It was supposed to be an embarrassing moment of silence, but Ouyang Xi burst out laughing.
"Hehe, Wuying... Shouldn't you also say, you guys continue, hahaha."
Although Ouyang Xi's words were a bit weird, Wu Ying could understand the meaning of the words, and when she lowered her head even lower, she bit her delicate lips lightly with her bright teeth, and said, "I... I'll come back later."
After finishing speaking, he went out without looking back, and did not forget to close the door tightly when he was done.
"You." Qian Xiaobao gave Ouyang Xi a fond look, then adjusted her slightly open underwear, and said, "Get up quickly."
After the two got up and washed, they walked in again without a shadow after a while.As if she had adjusted her mood in secret, she didn't see a trace of abnormality on her face when she entered the door again, and said in the same indifferent tone as usual: "Master, I have something to report."
Then he told the story of last night in detail, when it was said that the person who attacked was actually an old woman who was cooking, Qian Xiaobao also opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked: "How could it be her?"
"My subordinates don't know either." Wuying said without a trace of ups and downs in his tone, "Besides, I think that person is really suspicious, he doesn't look like an ordinary old man."
These words reminded Ouyang Xi that just as she was about to speak out what she had seen before, the door was pushed open again. Jiang Qingxiao walked in quickly, and was not surprised to see Wuying. She only greeted a few people and said, "Breakfast Alright, what are you all doing here?" After finishing speaking, he walked up to Wu Ying very naturally, took Wu Ying's hand and walked out.
Seeing this, Qian Xiaobao called out, "Qing Xiao, wait."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qingxiao turned to look at Qian Xiaobao in doubt when she heard the words.
Qian Xiaobao paced forward with a folding fan in his hand, stood still in front of Jiang Qingxiao, thought for a while and asked, "After returning to the room yesterday, what do you think is different?"
"Strange?" Jiang Qingxiao shook her head after thinking for a while: "No. I fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while."
"Did you smell any strange smell?"
"No, this Medicine King Valley has been influenced by medicinal herbs all year round, where does the strange smell come from, I have never smelled anything except the fragrance of medicine."
Hearing what she said, Wuying tugged the hands they held together slightly anxiously, and asked, "It's the fragrance of medicine, did you smell it before falling asleep last night?"
"I can smell it, but it's very faint. It's because the window was open last night, so the scent of flowers is quite strong."
"It's not the fragrance of flowers." Wuying took out the sachet that she found under Jiang Qingxiao's pillow before, handed it to her nose and said, "But this smell?"
Jiang Qingxiao looked at her suspiciously, although she didn't understand why she conjured up a sachet for no reason, she still obediently sniffed it hard.The familiar aroma penetrated into the nostrils, instantly awakening the memory of last night.
"Yes, that's the smell! Don't say it, it's weird. Even the dream I had last night smelled delicious."
The other three people present all changed their faces when they heard the words. Although they had different thoughts, they didn't say anything.Coincidentally, at this time, Xia Lingyu's subordinates came to call them to the dining room for dinner, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.
At the dinner table, Xia Lingyu was still as eager as the day before, serving tea and serving dishes next to Jiang Qingxiao, and intentionally or unintentionally blocked a lot of Wuying and Jiang Qingxiao's contact.
Ouyang Xi, who was sitting across from them, seemed unintentional, but she had already seen all this silently.
After breakfast, Xia Lingyu went out to greet his subordinates to prepare some necessary tools for collecting herbs in the mountains. While the rest of them were sitting in the dining room drinking tea and waiting, Ouyang Xi glanced left and right but did not see the silver-haired old woman from yesterday who came to clean up the dishes , he looked at the old man Yaodu who was sitting in the main seat and asked, "Senior, why didn't you see the mother-in-law who cooked yesterday?"
Yao Du was stunned for a moment when he heard Ouyang Xi's question, and complex emotions flashed across his face, but then he smiled again and said, "Perhaps you are still busy in the kitchen. Why did you ask me such a question?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Ouyang Xi waved his hand very naturally and said: "I accidentally spilled vegetable soup on her hand yesterday, I wanted to apologize to her today, but I haven't seen her yet. "
"Aunt Wu is not used to meeting strangers, most of them stay in the kitchen."
"Then I'll go find her in the kitchen later."
"Oh, no need." Yao Du hastily refused, but after seeing Ouyang Xi's puzzled face, he added belatedly: "She is just a servant, since you are guests, there is no need to apologize for such trivial matters. "
Ouyang Xi nodded when he heard the words, took a sip from the teacup in hand, and said nothing more.
Not long after, Xia Lingyu finished his preparations, came to call Qian Xiaobao and his party, and set off towards the cliff behind the mountain.
Although the terrain of Yaowang Valley was severe and complicated, thanks to Xia Lingyu, who was familiar with the environment, leading the way, the group of five reached the edge of the cliff smoothly.
"Dove feathers" grow on the edge of the cliff, and they are easy to pick. Xia Lingyu took out the tools and went forward to pick enough for Qian Xiaobao and the others, carefully threw them into the bamboo basket behind him, and then led the crowd forward a few steps. Only when there was no way to get in, did he lean forward and point out: "The 'Pernix tongue grass' grows more than ten meters below the cliff, so it's a bit difficult to pick it."
Several people leaned forward upon hearing the words, and sure enough, they saw several brightly colored herbal plants in the crevices of the rock more than ten meters below the cliff, Qian Xiaobao turned around and looked at Xia Lingyu and asked: "Brother Xia are you talking about those plants? "
"That's right." Xia Lingyu said as he took off the rope from his waist, turned around and tied one end to a thick tree on the edge of the cliff, and then continued: "On the side of the cliff where'Pernix tongue grass' grows, the cliff is It is smooth and extremely difficult to climb, and it needs the help of a rope to pick it."
After Xia Lingyu finished speaking, he turned to look at Qian Xiaobao, and said embarrassedly: "To tell you the truth, brother Qian, my lightness kung fu has always been weak, so I really can't handle the important task of picking under the cliff."
"It's okay." Qian Xiaobao said, reaching forward to take the rope from Xia Lingyu's hand: "Don't dare to bother Brother Xia, just go and pick it."
Xia Lingyu's face changed when he heard the words. Just as he was about to say something more, Wuying behind Qian Xiaobao leaned forward and grabbed the rope, wrapped the other end neatly around his waist in twos and outs, and said coldly. Said: "It's still me."
Seeing this, Xia Lingyu swallowed back what he was going to say before, turned his back to everyone and smiled triumphantly.
Master Wuying acted as the thief of the world, needless to say that his lightness kung fu was excellent, he fell down to the cliff with one hand holding the rope, picked the "Pernix tongue grass" and returned to the ground with ease.
The picking went so smoothly, and everyone let go of their worries one by one. After Wuying finished picking the herbs here, they packed up their tools and went to the next place.
The progress of the matter was unexpectedly smooth, and Qian Xiaobao, who had originally intended to be wary of Xia Lingyu, began to have doubts in his heart: Could it be that he really judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
Turning around, the amount of medicinal herbs found was about to meet the needs of everyone. When he came to the last place and tied the rope, Wu Ying jumped down again with a light leap.
Picking the herbs with ease again, Wu Ying tightened the rope in his hand and climbed up, but when he was two or three feet away from the cliff, the rope in his hand suddenly loosened, and he looked up hastily, If the rope as thick as two fingers broke without warning at this moment.
"Wuying!" Jiang Qingxiao, who had been lying on the edge of the cliff and staring intently, exclaimed when she saw this, and stretched out her hand to pull the other end of the broken rope.
Xia Lingyu, Qian Xiaobao and the others hurried to the edge of the cliff when they heard the sound, but they saw that Wuying who was falling had tapped the cliff with his toes, and with a boost he jumped back a long way, grabbing his hand with the broken rope. As soon as he raised his strength, the rope was tightly held in Jiang Qingxiao's hands.
They were both women, so their strength was equal, but Jiang Qingxiao used all her strength to manage to avoid falling without a shadow.Seeing this, Xia Lingyu didn't even think about taking the rope and wrapping it in his hands, Qian Xiaobao and the two hurriedly walked behind him and pulled the rope up together.
Fortunately, Wuying was not far from the edge of the cliff after his leap just now, Xia Lingyu stretched out half of his body and stretched out his hand and shouted to her: "Girl Wuying, grab my hand quickly."
Wuying pinned the herb to her waist, and just reached out her hand to hold Xia Lingyu's wrist. Just as she was about to use her strength to jump up, she suddenly felt a slight coolness brushing across her arm, followed by a tingling pain in her armpit.
She looked up, and only had time to catch the undisguised viciousness in Xia Lingyu's eyes, and then she felt her whole body stiffen, her hands loosened the rope and arms that were originally tightly held, and she fell straight down the cliff.
"Wuying!" Jiang Qingxiao's eyes widened, and she jumped down without even thinking about it. In a hurry, Xia Lingyu reached out to grab it, but only had time to tear off a corner of her clothes.
After such an accident, Qian Xiaobao and the others had no intention of continuing to collect herbs, they just packed up the tools and returned to the old man Yaodu's residence.
After Xia Lingyu found her master and explained the situation clearly, she offered to take someone to the bottom of the cliff to search and rescue.
Qian Xiaobao listened silently, although he was full of doubts about the whole matter, but at present, there seemed to be no one in the entire Yaowang Valley to turn to except Xia Lingyu and his subordinates, so after much deliberation, he had no choice but to step forward Said: "Brother Lao Xia can help, I am very grateful."
Xia Lingyu seemed to be quite anxious in his heart, and he didn't care about being courteous with Qian Xiaobao, so he just said casually: "Where, Qing Xiao is my fiancée, it's my duty to save her, not to mention helping her." After speaking, he turned around Looking at the two people on the opposite side, he said: "The two of you are not familiar with the situation in this valley. If you go there rashly, you may not only be unable to help, but also cause some trouble for no reason. Please stay here and wait for news."
As soon as Ouyang Xi heard this, he became anxious: "Why are we doing a disservice to help? I have never heard of the power of a large number of people. Isn't one more person more hope?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Lingyu ignored her, turned around and said to Yao Du: "Master, that disciple is going to go down and get ready, and set off immediately."
After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Ouyang Xi was stunned for a moment by Xia Lingyu's completely different attitude from before. He waited for everyone to leave without seeing him, so he said to Qian Xiaobao angrily, "Who is this? He really bitten Lu Dongbin!" know people's hearts."
"Girl," Yao Duo opened his mouth, Ouyang Xi remembered that there was a third person at the scene, thinking that he had just said in front of the master that his apprentice was not, and felt a little guilty for a while, stuck out his tongue behind his back, turned around and said: "Senior, I'm not..."
"It's okay." Yao Du seemed to know what she was going to say, stopped her mouth, and said: "Yu'er is familiar with the terrain, and letting him go to save people will get twice the result with half the effort. Don't be impatient, just wait here for two days." .”
"Can……"
"Besides," Yao Du interrupted again, looked at her with a clear face and said with a faint smile, "Isn't there someone waiting outside the valley for this life-saving herb?"
This made Ouyang Xi stunned for a moment: They didn't seem to say that someone was waiting outside the valley to get the medicine?How did the old man who is alone in medicine know about it?
Just when he was about to ask again, Yao Du turned around and walked past them.
"Hey, Xiaobao, what did she mean by what she said just now? How did she know that Wu Lingxi was waiting for us outside the valley?" Ouyang Xi grabbed Qian Xiaobao's arm and whispered in her ear.
"Maybe she knew when we came to ask for medicine yesterday."
After Qian Xiaobao finished speaking, he didn't explain, just held Ouyang Xi's wrist with his backhand, frowned and said, "I think we still need to see if this Xia Lingyu is really going to save Qian Er and Qing Xiao."
"Oh, good." Ouyang Xi nodded, followed Qian Xiaobao's footsteps and went out.
The two of them searched the rooms of Xia Lingyu and his subordinates, but there was no one there. Just as they were thinking about where to find them next, voices could be faintly heard from a small hidden firewood room beside them.
Qian Xiaobao put his index finger up on his lips, made a gesture of silencing towards Ouyang Xi, then walked lightly to the window, pierced the window paper and held his breath to look in, and at a glance, he saw Xia Lingyu was looking down with a ferocious face Said in a low voice: "I ruined my good business last night, and I haven't settled the debt with you yet."
The person opposite him was dressed in black, and although his back was turned to the window, he could not see him, but the eye-catching silver thread made the answer obvious—this person was the old woman who was cooking.
But at this time, she was not as stooped as usual. Her back was straight, her body was tall and tall, and her aura surpassed that of Xia Lingyu who was opposite her.His voice was no longer low and hoarse, and he replied sharply: "Don't think that you can be so arrogant because you accidentally learned my identity. Although I have been lurking by her side for many years, I just want to accompany her silently." Just live a simple life in this valley."
Xia Lingyu smiled evilly when he heard the words: "Simply live? Master's words are pleasing to the ear, but if you really mean it, why did you abandon her 20 years ago?"
"You!" The silver-haired woman raised her finger to face him, her slightly trembling index finger revealed the strong emotion she was trying to suppress.
"Master, don't be angry. I didn't like to inquire about your old affairs, but in order to better restrain you, I asked people to investigate. I don't know. After 20 years, Master and her old people have betrayed you in their hearts. Has your resentment faded?"
As soon as these words came out, the hand that the silver-haired woman had originally raised dropped limply, and even the fierce aura around her seemed to dim.
"What exactly do you want?" Her voice was low, and she could vaguely hear some pain.
"What do I want? I just want to get Jiang Qingxiao back alive as soon as possible!" Speaking of this, Xia Lingyu's eyes showed a fierce look, and he said viciously: "20 years ago, there was you and my master, and there was Jiang Qingxiao and Jiang Qingxiao in front of me." Wuying, don't you feel disgusted by such unethical feelings?"
"Huh!" The person standing opposite him snorted coldly, and it seemed that a huge wave was set off in his heart because of this sentence: "Disgusting? I think the most disgusting thing is your worldly vision and your lack of knowledge. Distorted hearts!"
As if being poked at a sore spot in his heart, Xia Lingyu raised his hand to slap the person opposite when he was in a state of desperation, but was blocked easily.
"With your three-legged cat's kung fu, you still want to hit me?"
"You?!" Xia Lingyu's face was full of surprise, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Since your skill is so profound, then last night..."
The silver-threaded woman let go of his hand, glanced at the window if there was nothing in her eyes, and said, "Aren't you eager to save people? If you don't go, this person is destined to be lost!"
Hearing this, Xia Lingyu cursed in a low voice, turned around and walked towards the door.Seeing this, Qian Xiaobao swayed slightly and instantly moved to the side of Ouyang Xi who was hiding far away, wrapped the person in his arms and jumped up, lightly stepped on the beams of the house for two or three jumps, and then returned to their own room in front of the door.
A gentleman who comes and goes, Qian Xiaobao chuckled, leaned over and pressed Ouyang Xi under him, and then pressed his lips together.This kiss, which was supposed to be tasted lightly, gradually deepened and gradually changed its taste.
I don't know who put the slightly cool hand into the other's chest first, and I don't know who first let go of the belt in front of me. Dry firewood meets a raging fire. Seeing that a love affair is inevitable, there is a "knock knock" from outside the door. " knock on the door.
The two delicate bodies that were close to each other on the bed were about to separate, but the door had already been pushed open from the outside to the inside.
"Master."
Thinking about the strangeness of what happened last night in his mind, Wu Ying who opened the door and entered before waiting for a response, was stunned seeing the two people who were hurriedly covering up on the bed.After a while, he turned around with a reddish face: "Well, I, I didn't see anything..."
It was supposed to be an embarrassing moment of silence, but Ouyang Xi burst out laughing.
"Hehe, Wuying... Shouldn't you also say, you guys continue, hahaha."
Although Ouyang Xi's words were a bit weird, Wu Ying could understand the meaning of the words, and when she lowered her head even lower, she bit her delicate lips lightly with her bright teeth, and said, "I... I'll come back later."
After finishing speaking, he went out without looking back, and did not forget to close the door tightly when he was done.
"You." Qian Xiaobao gave Ouyang Xi a fond look, then adjusted her slightly open underwear, and said, "Get up quickly."
After the two got up and washed, they walked in again without a shadow after a while.As if she had adjusted her mood in secret, she didn't see a trace of abnormality on her face when she entered the door again, and said in the same indifferent tone as usual: "Master, I have something to report."

She only greeted a few people and said, "Breakfast Alright, what are you all doing here?" After finishing speaking, he walked up to Wu Ying very naturally, took Wu Ying's hand and walked out.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qingxiao turned to look at Qian Xiaobao in doubt when she heard the words.
Qian Xiaobao paced forward with a folding fan in his hand, stood still in front of Jiang Qingxiao, thought for a while and asked, "After returning to the room yesterday, what do you think is different?"

"Did you smell any strange smell?"
"No, this Medicine King Valley has been influenced by medicinal herbs all year round, where does the strange smell come from, I have never smelled anything except the fragrance of medicine."

But at this time, she was not as stooped as usual. Her back was straight, her body was tall and tall, and her aura surpassed that of Xia Lingyu who was opposite her.His voice was no longer low and hoarse, and he replied sharply: "Don't think that you can be so arrogant because you accidentally learned my identity. Although I have been lurking by her side for many years, I just want to accompany her silently." Just live a simple life in this valley."
Xia Lingyu smiled evilly when he heard the words: "Simply live? Master's words are pleasing to the ear, but if you really mean it, why did you abandon her 20 years ago?"
"You!" The silver-haired woman raised her finger to face him, her slightly trembling index finger revealed the strong emotion she was trying to suppress.
"Master, don't be angry. I didn't like to inquire about your old affairs, but in order to better restrain you, I asked people to investigate. I don't know. After 20 years, Master and her old people have betrayed you in their hearts. Has your resentment faded?"
As soon as these words came out, the hand that the silver-haired woman had originally raised dropped limply, and even the fierce aura around her seemed to dim.
"What exactly do you want?" Her voice was low, and she could vaguely hear some pain.
"What do I want? I just want to get Jiang Qingxiao back alive as soon as possible!" Speaking of this, Xia Lingyu's eyes showed a fierce look, and he said viciously: "20 years ago, there was you and my master, and there was Jiang Qingxiao and Jiang Qingxiao in front of me." Wuying, don't you feel disgusted by such unethical feelings?"
"Huh!" The person standing opposite him snorted coldly, and it seemed that a huge wave was set off in his heart because of this sentence: "Disgusting? I think the most disgusting thing is your worldly vision and your lack of knowledge. Distorted hearts!"
As if being poked at a sore spot in his heart, Xia Lingyu raised his hand to slap the person opposite when he was in a state of desperation, but was blocked easily.
"With your three-legged cat's kung fu, you still want to hit me?"
"You?!" Xia Lingyu's face was full of surprise, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Since your skill is so profound, then last night..."
The silver-threaded woman let go of his hand, glanced at the window if there was nothing in her eyes, and said, "Aren't you eager to save people? If you don't go, this person is destined to be lost!"
Hearing this, Xia Lingyu cursed in a low voice, turned around and walked towards the door.Seeing this, Qian Xiaobao swayed slightly and instantly moved to the side of Ouyang Xi who was hiding far away, wrapped the person in his arms and jumped up, lightly stepped on the beams of the house for two or three jumps, and then returned to their own room in front of the door.
