After experiencing the previous battle, Lin Yao's sword skill proficiency increased by 5%. Even a battle that lasted less than half an hour saved Lin Yao several days of hard work.

At the same time, An Jin was one step closer.However, because the basic breathing skills given by Lin Yao's training system are so magical, they have the function of automatic training.

Lin Yao's body was being exercised every moment, and his energy and blood were improved, and as a result, vitality similar to An Jin was already produced in his body.

In other words, he only needs to train his mind and skin more perfectly, so that the outer membrane of the muscles and bones of the whole body can be penetrated, and the dark energy will naturally flourish.From now on, it will be a matter of course, and you can easily break through to dark power without any bottlenecks.

"On the road to success, only those who work hard and work hard can make up for their own shortcomings. I have become stronger, and this is all due to my own efforts."

Lin Yao was in a comfortable and comfortable mood, sighing like a cheater, and then put away the attribute panel.

After running all the way, Lin Yao arrived at a village outside Yangzhou City. It was quiet at this time of night, except for the barking of dogs and the sound of the watch, there was no sound.

Under the bright moonlight, Lin Yao gradually approached the last target marked before and found that he was in a wooden house far away from other villagers.

From the layout of the wooden house in the village, you can feel that the relationship between its owner and other villagers is very ordinary.

Lin Yao discovered through perception that there were only two figures inside, one big and one small.The big one is the evil person marked by him, while the small one's aura is slightly too weak, as if it is not in a normal state.

Lin Yao had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He quickly approached the outermost door, leaned closer, and rushed with all his strength. The hard wooden bolt broke instantly. It was indeed An Jin's power, and it was indeed extraordinary.

Along the wall of the wooden house, Lin Yao found the owner who was breathing faintly. After taking a closer look, he found that this was a girl with a rouge mark the size of a rice grain between her eyebrows, which was impressive.

"The Red Mansion, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Kidnapper, the Rouge Story, the girl, isn't this Xiangling? But didn't it appear in Jinling City later?" Lin Yao was a little surprised in his heart.

The girl was in a small room, curled up on a small bed. It seemed that she was often beaten and scolded by others. There were still tears on her face when she slept. Even if she was resting, she would frown from time to time.

Could it be because the person who abducted Xiangling hasn't found a buyer yet, or else he has already been raised in Jinling City.

"Wake up, wake up quickly." Lin Yao approached the girl's bed and gently patted her shoulder with his hand, gently waking her up.

The girl woke up slowly, and subconsciously curled up her petite body even more in a daze, holding her cute little head in her hands.This skillful movement made people feel distressed and even more angry towards the person who cruelly hurt her.

"Is that your father next door? Or were you trafficked by a kidnapper?" Lin Yao gently asked the timid and confused little girl in front of him.

The girl did not dare to speak. When Lin Yao mentioned the possible father, a bit of fear flashed in her eyes and her body trembled slightly.

It seems that the fear of that person is too deep, and even Lin Yao, a stranger, is not very scared when he appears here.

She shook her head slightly, but the amplitude was very small. If Lin Yao hadn't been paying attention to her all the time, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect this action.

"Okay, I understand, you can follow me from now on." Lin Yao showed a sunny smile and reached out to stroke her hair.

She seemed to be infected by Lin Yao's smile and gentle caress, and she gradually calmed down.He raised his head and took a deep look at Lin Yao. Their eyes met each other, and the bright eyes under the big curved willow eyebrows were filled with a bit of confusion and a bit of strange emotions.

But he quickly lowered his head, but his tense body also relaxed a little.

"Wait for me here. I'll take care of it and take you away later." Lin Yao said softly, then strode towards the opposite room.

With a slight push, the door was unlocked, and a strong smell of alcohol came on. It turned out that he was drunk.No wonder the owner of this house was unaware of Lin Yao's actions. After all, he was also a fisherman. How could he be so careless?

Lin Yao opened the storage space, found a piece of hemp rope among the debris that had been placed inside, knocked him unconscious, then tied him tightly, then picked him up and walked to a remote place. …

When Lin Yao returned to the house again, there was only a shovel with some dirt left in the storage space, and a small mound next to the green hills in the distance.

Through the kidnapper, I found out that he abducted the girl from Suzhou, and it seemed that she was Xiangling.

Xiangling's original name is Yinglian. She was born in Suzhou, the same wealthy place as Xiao Daiyu. Her mother, Feng, has a virtuous temperament and understands etiquette and justice. Her father, Zhen Shiyin, is strict and innocent, with a calm temperament. He is a prominent local family.

The couple, now fifty years old, have no children but one daughter, whose nickname is Yinglian.Yinglian was "born with pink makeup and jade, and was very sweet and sweet", and her whole family loved her very much.

It should be said that Yinglian lived happily in such a family. She almost had the same fate as Lin Daiyu when she was a child.

Unfortunately, during the Yuanxiao Festival when she was four years old, Zhen Shiyin ordered his slave Huo Qibao to watch the lanterns. At midnight, the slave placed Yinglian on the doorstep of a family's house because of urination.

When he came back, Yinglian was nowhere to be seen. The whole family searched everywhere, but there was no news.Yinglian was abducted by a kidnapper and left for another country.

On the same day, Zhen's house was hit by another fire and burned into a field of rubble. These unfortunate encounters one after another cast a tragic color on Yinglian's fate.Zhen Shiyin had no choice but to change the farm and move with his wife to his father-in-law's house.

At the same time, Lin Yao knew that he was the kind of kidnapper who was raised for seven or eight years before being sold, which was related to a very cruel profession during this period.

Salt merchants gathered in Huaiyang area, and they were rich and wealthy.Gradually, these rich people, who have so much money that they really don’t know how to spend it, have developed a morbid aesthetic outlook.They like women who are particularly thin and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

In order to cater to their needs, some kidnappers like the one who abducted Xiangling bought beautiful and thin women from poor families, trained them to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then sold them to these wealthy businessmen when they reached adulthood. Be a concubine, or provide them with entertainment.

In order to make their people "thin" and conform to the aesthetics of these rich people.When these people educate these girls, they often let them starve as long as they don't starve to death.

This kind of woman was called "Yangzhou Skinny Horse" at the time.

The kidnapper who abducted Xiang Ling was undoubtedly engaged in a similar profession.Therefore, he would raise the abducted Xiangling for seven or eight years before selling it.

During this period, he taught Xiangling some chess, calligraphy and painting in order to sell them at a better price.

Therefore, if Lin Yao hadn't happened to crush these darkness, Xiangling would have entered another hell in a few years, tortured by the joint efforts of Xue Pan and Xia Jingui.

Moreover, during this period, Xiangling had to undergo strict training and discipline. If she did not do anything right, the kidnapper would beat and scold her.

And compared to those who want to buy girls from poor families, this kidnapper is engaged in a "capitalless business" - they don't even have to spend money on buying and selling girls.

Therefore, even though it was about three or four years before Xiangling was sold, after all, she was only four years old when she was abducted, and it was five years ago. It is simply unimaginable how much suffering she had suffered.Later, it was also the reason why Xiangling developed a submissive character.

At the same time, Xiangling became the only one among the servants in "A Dream of Red Mansions" who could read and write. With a little guidance from Daiyu, she was soon able to write poems that made everyone praise her.

Xiangling likes poetry, which is similar to Daiyu.Xiangling was able to learn to compose poetry so quickly not only because of her own intelligence, but also because she had received a similar upbringing.

Xiangling's fate is sad, but she has a special charm, which causes a very clear fragrance to wander in the Grand View Garden. Although she is not as proud and independent as Sister Lin, she is still a scenery with a moment of youthfulness. However, But in the end, "Linghua is in the sky versus the snow."

"You will be called Xiangling from now on. As long as I am here, no one can bully you." Lin Yao felt that Xiangling and Daiyu had too much in common, and he felt affection in his heart.

"Yeah." Xiangling said in a voice that sounded like a mosquito.

The trust foundation between the two of them is still too weak. Lin Yao is ready to use every bit of warm life to heal her wounded heart.When she completely opens her heart, you can take her to find her previous parents.

On the way back to Lin Mansion, Lin Yao looked at Xiang Ling who was a little tired. Although she was a little embarrassed, she could not hide her natural beauty.Through the moonlight, it is easy to admire the girl's face.

Her long and straight hair is draped over her shoulders, making her look particularly elegant and touching. Her long and graceful figure, slender waist, beautiful jade necklace, and bright skin make her even more charming and radiant.

"Come up, I'll carry you." Lin Yao patted himself on the back.

Xiangling looked at Lin Yao's tall and slender but not rugged figure, feeling a little shy, but with her submissive temperament, she naturally accepted Lin Yao's request.

Lying on Lin Yao's shoulder, breathing in the strange man's breath lingering around him.The beautiful face of Xiang Ling bullying Shuang Saixue is filled with red clouds. She is infinitely shy and tempting, but unfortunately no one can look at her for the time being.

As Lin Yao walked forward steadily, Xiang Ling closed her beautiful eyes with some peace of mind.
