[It is detected that the fragments are used up, and the quest rewards are unlocked and distributed... The distribution is successful. 】

Li Ruoshui was not in the mood to pay attention to these rewards. She looked at the lush bamboos around her and was a little lost.

There was a small wooden hut among the bamboo forests. It was still somewhat dilapidated. Li Ruoshui recognized it. This was where Lu Zhiyao and his master lived.

The door to this room was closed, and it didn't look like someone was at home.

And there were some noises not far from the hut, and a figure was moving, Li Ruoshui hesitated, but walked over.

She's not in any danger anyway, so let's go and have a look.

In the hot summer, cicadas crouched in the surrounding bamboo forests, and they were chirping loudly, as if mourning and laughing.

Li Ruoshui always felt a little weird. She looked around while walking, and then her eyes fell into the bamboo forest.

There was a square hole, slightly deep, and there were two people standing beside the hole, standing and sitting.

The first thing that catches the eye is the standing road, and now he already has the prototype of a boy.

His height is almost the tip of Li Ruoshui's nose, his body is thin, his hair is still shoulder-length, he wears red feather earrings, and has a ball head.

He doesn't look much different from when he was young, but his demeanor is very different.

If when he was young, he would frown when he was in pain, and pursed his lips when he was unhappy, then now he has learned to pretend.

Even in such a scene, he still grinned, his eyebrows slightly gentle.

Now he is dressed in the same clothes as when he was a child, but he is not much different from the adult him.

Li Ruoshui looked at his clothes stained with dark red blood, and then looked at the thin sword beside him, and couldn't help sighing.

The sword was deeply inserted into the mud, and the blood on it turned the mud into a maroon.

And Lu Zhizhi's master was sitting under the bamboo, his face was pale and calm, and he was no longer as gloomy as before.

Her eyes are hooked, her nose is straight, and her face is very gorgeous. Even if she has become like this, her innate sharpness is still undiminished.

Li Ruoshui remembered the storyteller's description.

——The woman in red was carrying a large sword, plus the hilt, it was as high as her shoulders, and when she put it down, the ashes on the ring were raised a lot.

- A sharp and bright woman, to this point.

Lu Zhi's master stretched out his hands and looked at them carefully. The hands were covered with tiny scars, weak and weak, and could not help but tremble.

Back then, she used to use a big sword to fight against others, and she used her puppet silk to tease others, but now she can't even hold her chopsticks steadfastly, and she has problems walking. It's ridiculous.

After being tortured by He Wenmo, she was so angry that she wanted to twist his head off, but it was still difficult to get rid of her emotional troubles and wanted him to regret it.

Her eyes fell to Lu Zhi's ears, the two red feathers swaying in the wind.

When heard that he would use this chicken to make soup for Xu Si's body, he was still a little jealous, but now it's ridiculous to think about it.

With the passage of time, she found that she could not hold the sword, could not walk, and could no longer be the heroic "road far away", and this love was replaced by hatred.

All she could think about was revenge, and if they insulted her, she would get it back tenfold.

Now that the great revenge has been avenged, she does not allow herself to live with this body, it is a humiliation for her to live like this.

So, she took poison.

She was leaving, leaving behind her unfortunate twelve-year-old apprentice, and meeting her was probably the most unfortunate thing for him.

She was silent for a while, and suddenly coughed violently. Lu Zhiyao stood there and didn't move, she just coughed herself.

The coughing didn't stop for a long time, and the chest vibrated at the same time, and the voice became hoarse.

A breeze blew through the bamboo forest, bringing a faint bamboo fragrance, blowing away the bloody smell in the air, and blowing the blood dripping from the corner of his robe.

His master finally stopped coughing, gasped for a while, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before looking up at him, his voice hoarse.

"What's your name?"

Lu Zhiyao thought about it for a while, and then said, "It should be A Chu."

"How come you look like a little girl, but you are really beautiful."

His master took a deep breath and turned his eyes to the top. The green bamboo leaves fluttered in the blue sky, faintly revealing some youthful yellowness.

"I don't want to remember. It seems that you don't like this name very much. Why don't you use mine. I've counted it before, and this name is good."

She lowered her head and sneered, with mockery in her gorgeous eyes, and then her eyes fell on him again.

"Fortune-tellers say that my name is very noble, and I can meet good people and noble people. But I haven't met them, so I might as well give it to you.

From now on, you can use my name to call Lu Zhiyao. "

"Okay."

Lu Zhiyao had no objection, and agreed to his master's proposal with a smile on his lips.

His master picked it up casually—a fallen bamboo leaf, half green and half yellow, and threw it into the pit beside her.

"In this life, the first half of my life was as unrestrained as the wind, and I didn't put anyone in my eyes. I also knew that I was reckless and had a strong desire to control, and I would always fall into trouble, but I never thought I would fall into the hands of that slut.

He was deceived by the secret book, locked in the villa, picked on the tendons, and became a crippled person. Today, he finally got his revenge and killed his whole family!

Remember, love can only make you weak and deceived, and it is the most useless thing in the world. "

Lu Zhiyao seemed to have just regained his senses, he rolled his eyes and took her words.

"I know, I knew it at a very young age."

His master laughed, then shook his head, coughed—and then began to reminisce.

"I cultivated you as my sword. I have long known that you have weird ideas, lack love and love, and are unfamiliar, but I don't think you will love someone, so don't worry about that.

When I picked you up back then, you promised me to avenge me, and you could leave me tomorrow morning, but you still didn't leave. I have endured my bad temper until now, but it was only to fulfill the contract.

Man, that's ridiculous and weird.

He is obviously cold-hearted, but he is a rare person who keeps promises. And some people seem righteous, but they can do anything. "

She took out a wooden sign from her arms and threw it out tremblingly, but Lu Zhiyao bent over to catch it.

"This sign is for you, after I die, take it to receive the reward.

You don't need to work hard, you can directly take over the highest level, who has more money and won't starve to death, that's how I came here back then.

But it goes without saying that your name is Lu Zhiyao, I'm still a little famous, so be careful someone comes to pester you. "

As if she was explaining the future, she suddenly accepted the sharp meaning, her eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous, and she began to ramble.

"You are blind and don't understand world affairs. You are easy to be deceived when it comes to money, so you can save it in the bank, that will not deceive you.

However, if you have money, you can do everything. If you have more money, there is no difference between you being blind and not being blind. Everyone loves money. If you give some money, you can live well.

Of course, Wan-in-wan-, you are really in love, remember, don't hand over all your money, if you are deceived, you will have nothing.

But don't think I'm a good person. I don't feel guilty for beating and scolding you for so many years. You still hate me. I don't need love. "

The sunlight was scattered by the swaying bamboo leaves, and the scattered light spots were also shaking constantly, falling into the eyes that were far away.

She looked at the sky, blood spilled from the corners of her lips, and her eyes gradually slackened.

What she saw was that she was riding the horses and lakes, the appearance of the sword opening the world.

At that time, she was arrogant, domineering, and impersonal, but she was also free and easy, free-spirited, and had no worries. Some people hated her, but they had nothing to do with her.

"I really want to dance again - the second sword."

After muttering to himself, the bamboo leaves in his eyes swayed more slowly, and the rustling sound of the intersecting bamboo leaves gradually faded away with an echo.

The sky turned from blue to gray, and finally to black, and the world fell into boundless silence.

She closed her eyes, held her right hand vacantly, and finally slipped to her side, crushing the bamboo leaves and making a small sound.

The wind in the bamboo forest was still blowing, the bamboo leaves were still rustling, and Lu Zhi stood there without speaking.

With a smile on his lips and gentle eyebrows, he sat down, holding the sword beside him in his hand, and looked up at the sky again.

Occasionally a cuckoo flew over the bamboo forest, but it was still so quiet, there was only him here.

After a long time, he spoke softly.

"The last covenant with you will be fulfilled now."

He stood up, gropingly pulled her arm, and lifted her up.

He is still tall enough to reach his master's ears and can hold her up, but it is a little difficult to find the way.

"careful!"

Li Ruoshui said nervously beside him, and subconsciously pulled his clothes, but put them on.

Lu Zhizhi, who could not see the road, stepped into the square pit together with his master.

He chuckled lightly, put his master away, then took the wooden sign from his waist and put it on her.

"Thank you for telling me how to make a living, but it's yours, you don't need to give it to me, I'll get my own sign... just let it accompany you."

His voice was a little green, and the growing boy was about to change his voice. At this time, his voice sounded inexplicably soft.

Lu Zhi turned around and touched the edge of the pothole, turned out and stood on the mound, then walked back slowly, groping for the position of his sword.

No one will tell him what's there anymore - it's all up to him.

After groping on the ground for a long time, he found a place, and after drawing his sword, he walked to the pit and slowly pushed the soil down.

Li Ruoshui looked at his back, and his heart was extremely sour.

As an adult, Lu Zhi would not have been groping for so long even if he could not see it. What kind of practice did he go through to become what he is now.

Dirt - pushing down a little bit, he didn't seem impatient.

Lu Zhiyao's feelings at this time are very complicated. He doesn't have the sense of freedom that he had when he left the Bai Mansion, but he also doesn't feel as sad as the death of his relatives.

At least he didn't want to cry, and couldn't cry.

He didn't understand why his master said that he was not guilty, there was nothing to feel guilty about.

Pain is love. Although he doesn't know why she likes him so much, he can bear it for now.

When was with her, would always unconsciously think of Bai Qingqing, who was also tired of love, but the performance of the two was not the same at all.

This discovery made him curious, but it was also interesting to him that there were so many expressions of love.

But what love is, they never told him, but he didn't want to guess or experience it.

Life is short, why worry about things that can't happen to you.

The loess gradually covered the beautiful woman, and her life would stop here.

As the sun went down, the pothole was filled up, Lu Zhi wiped off the sweat from the tip of his nose and sat beside him to rest.

As if remembering something, he touched the side, touched a thick bamboo, stood up, and chopped down with his sword.

The bang bang sounded, the bamboo leaves kept shaking, and after a while, they couldn't hold it any longer, and fell down with a creak.

Lu Zhiyao used his hand to make a ruler, measured the approximate length, and slashed it down with his sword.

He had heard before that when a person died, a tombstone was erected, and this was considered a tombstone.

He inserted the circular bamboo knot in front of the tomb. After a pause, he pursed his lips and smiled, and carved a few pictures on the bamboo knot.

"If you can't write, use this instead."

Lu Zhizhi stood up straight, loosened the headband tied on his head, and tied it to the "tombstone".

The sky is full of sunset light, and the pavement is straight, and the bamboo forest is also dyed.

Lu Zhiyao straddled a small cloth bag, took his sword, chose a random direction, and left here without looking back.

Li Ruoshui followed behind him, looking at this little boy who only reached the tip of his nose, feeling a little emotional for no reason.

I remember the last time I saw him when I was young, he only reached his waist.

After walking a long way, picked up a bamboo branch at random as a blind stick, and walked forward.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, and Li Ruo took a few steps back consciously, thinking he had found himself.

But this person just threw the bamboo branch in his hand at will, then squatted down, touched the direction the bamboo branch pointed, and continued to walk forward.

Li Ruoshui: ...

This is too casual, doesn't he go to the city?

"System, can you give him a direction to receive the bounty order, otherwise I'm afraid he will make a circle here."

[Host, friendly reminder, you still have two mysterious gift boxes and a designated gift to use.】

...

"I'll watch it again."

This is the bamboo forest, he knows the way, but this way of walking always makes her feel a little strange.

- A confused person would do this.

Stopping and walking, the sky is completely dark, and we can only rely on the bright moon in the sky to identify the direction.

Li Ruoshui couldn't hit the things in this "dreamland", and he walked freely, but he still had to use his eyes to see.

The bamboo was so dense that it blocked a lot of moonlight, so she could hardly see anything.

He just looked down at the lower road a little, and when he looked up again, the back of the little boy in front had disappeared.

Li Ruoshui: ???

How far is the little boy's road?
