After The Unsuccessful Search

According to the Valley Master, if she can persevere during this trip, she will find a turning point in her life and obtain a martial arts cultivation base that is sufficient to protect herself, family and friends.

The troubled times have come, and she must do her best to cultivation in order to protect her beloved and keep her heart unchanged.

……

Among the hills, among the bamboo trails.

As the Spring Festival has passed, this barren post station has gradually gained a bit of business, and from time to time, many merchants and tourists will drive by.

Naturally, some people will stay here for a short rest.

Outside the bustling inn and tavern, a carriage moved slowly, and came to a halt as the coachman pulled the reins gently.

The old coachman turned over and got out of the carriage, tapped on the door, and whispered: "Madam, it's getting late. Now I just met the Inn here, do you want to stay for a rest?"

A faintly murmured voice came from the carriage: "How far is it from Changling?"

"It will take about three or four days, and we have to see if Tiangong is beautiful." The old coachman said with a hoarse voice: "I will leave tomorrow morning. I should be able to reach Jianggai County smoothly at night. The distance to Changling will be unimpeded."

"Then trouble Uncle Li to arrange."

"Madam and Eldest Young Lady, please get out of the car first."

"Uncle Li, I'll have to..."

"hehe, old man this one Old bones, it’s okay even if you sleep in a wood room."

The old coachman smiled and stroked his beard: "Madam, don’t worry, the old man has a place to rest later."

"en. "

As the curtains opened, a beautiful, slender woman quickly walked out of the carriage, holding a pink jade carving in her hand. A lovely young girl, about seven or eight years old, wearing a brocade jacket and skirt, looking around all around curiously, quite innocent Spiritual Qi.

"Mother, are we going to sit down at the tea stall outside just like those tourists?"

"Of course not."

Slender and beautiful woman Looking down lightly said with a smile: "We have to find a guest room and sit in the guest room for a night."

"Oh..."

The graceful young mothers and daughters walked into the Inn, which attracted many tourists and merchants to look at them frequently, and their eyes were amazing.

But after seeing the brocade skirt and velvet robe on the lady, they quickly became embarrassed, secretly saying that the identity of this woman is obviously not low, at least she is also the owner of rich family wealth. Just talking about this piece of clothing and gold and silver jewelry, I am afraid that they are worth the food expenses of ordinary people for a few years. I want to come to the charming and beautiful wife who is good to take care of.

Business people, naturally, will not be involved in this aspect, and find more trouble.

"For shopkeeper, are there any clean and tidy rooms here?"

Seeing this young beautiful woman smiling and approachable, the elderly shopkeeper stroked her beard lightly, and nodded happily: " Yes! Yes! Of course, our Inn has clean guest rooms. Hurry upstairs."

Follow the old man up the stairs, young and beautiful skin, lightly twisted long skirts, hand-held velvet, Looking at the view of the corridor on the second floor with great interest. And the little girl next to her was also full of interest, and seemed to be very excited.

But

After staying in the corridor of the Inn for a few laps, the young beautiful woman quickly noticed something strange and frowned, "shopkeeper, why don't you take us to find The guest room, instead of spinning around between the corridors of these floors?"

"Hehe, the guest doesn't know something."

But the old shopkeeper just smiled gently: "Let's do this Inn. It’s a small business, so I’m afraid it’s going to catch fire. Old fogey, I don’t know if the wife has any highly skilled in martial arts guards, but it’s not a bad thing to be careful. A few more laps can also make those who are too small Don’t hit Evil Thought less."

The young woman covered her lips lightly, and quickly thanked: "Many thanks, the old man is thoughtful and helpful. The concubine just said so much offensive."

"Just no effort at all." The old shopkeeper smiled unabated, and soon took the mother and daughter to the door of the guest room, and reached out and pushed the door open: "This is the house. If you are not satisfied, please Order again, my old lady will come to help and clean up again."

"This place is already very clean."

"As for dinner tonight, I will let the old lady Bring this thing together to save your mother and daughter from going downstairs, how about?" The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "Although there are not many evildoers with long eyes in recent days who have troubles here, but you can't guarantee it. Someone must go crazy after drinking, disturbing the lady and this little girl, and ruining the good mood of traveling."

The young woman stroked her chest, leaning slightly and said: "Shopkeeper, thank you endlessly."

And the little girl on the side also smiled brightly, sweetly saying: "Thank you great grandfather!"

"It's good."

The old shopkeeper smiles even more. Xian was kind and kind: "Looking at as cute and sensible as my granddaughter."

……

"hu~"

The girl jumped around. By the window, I looked at the forest trail outside the Inn with bright eyes, and I could clearly see many to-and-fro merchant carriages.

As the weather is getting late, many merchants are now moving boxes of luggage and goods out of the carriage, especially in a frenzy.

"Uncles who do business are really busy."

"In order to make a living, ordinary people are naturally very hard and tired."

Just made the bed properly. The young woman from Lin Family smiled and touched her little head: "When Linger, you grow up in the future, you can't become spoiled and supercilious. Even when the time comes, our Lin Family still has some money, so do you You have to learn to be considerate and respectful of others."

"Mother has said so many times~"

Linger smiled mischievously, and then stood on her toes and looked into the distance.

After a while, he whispered and whispered: "Ling'er and mother suddenly came to visit, Mr. Lin, he shouldn't be annoyed, right?"

The young woman shook her head and lost said with a smile: "You this girl, you were arguing at home some time ago that you wanted to come to Changling to learn art earlier. Why did you get to Changling soon, but you are still anxious?"

"This, this is because..."

Ling'er pursed her mouth and mumbled for a long time without knowing how to answer.

She wanted to throw herself into the mother's arms and act like a baby again, but when she thought that she might be away from home in the future, she didn't want to be too childish after all.

"However, Linger knows that she is considerate at her age, and mother is very pleased." The young woman chuckled and touched her little face: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin is so gentle and kind. Naturally, she won’t say anything to blame."

Apart from the previous face-to-face conversations and acquaintances, after the two parties had separated, she also inquired about several rich wives and concubines. She already knew that the name of'Lin Tianlu' was growing. How famous is Ling?

In addition, there have been rumors in the previous period. It is said that Mr. Lin also married the granddaughter of King Zhengyang. He has shown his fame at the festival, and has the reputation of being wise and courageous and gentle. How can these young heroes care about a little girl who is not yet a golden hairpin?

even more how

It’s okay to want to come a few days earlier or later.

If Mr. Lin has not yet returned to Changling, staying at the Changling Inn for a few days to wait, naturally it will not be a trouble, and it will be regarded as an expression of sincerity of apprenticeship.

"Okay, I've been sitting in the carriage all day, Linger should go and lie down and rest first."

The young woman smiled gently, holding her shoulders into the house. Lan Lan Lan: "It may be about one hour before dinner, just to make you squint for a while."

"Hmm..."

Ling'er did not act like a baby anymore. , Walked back to the side of the bed with small steps, and lay down sideways with her hair gathered.

The young young woman leaned over to help cover her waist and abdomen with a quilt, lowered her head and just looked at it twice, she couldn't help laughing secretly.

"This girl, really completely different from the past."

Ling'er has quietly fallen asleep now, tiredness and sleepiness can be vaguely seen on her immature face, and she is sleeping softly.

Although there is no mention of fatigue along the way, but now I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow... I thought I was gritting my teeth secretly and reluctant to complain.

"After a life and death storm, Ling'er did grow up a lot overnight."

Stroking her daughter’s forehead hair, the young woman’s eyes drooped slightly. Showing a trace of comfort, but also has several points of bitterness.

If possible...

She didn't want her daughter to be so precocious and sensible.

I haven't enjoyed the innocent and unaffected when I was young, so I grew up overnight. The previous period was a lot of nightmares. I cried several times and woke her up from the middle of the night as a mother. I feel ashamed in the heart, and even more distressed.

If this were not the case, she would not give up the excitement and etiquette of Lantern Festival this time, and came here alone with Ling'er all the way through the mountains and rivers, just to comfort her daughter after seeing Mr. Lin again. , Will no longer suffer from nightmares.

"It will be okay..."

The young woman smiled softly, bowed her head and kissed her daughter gently on the cheek.

……

After Moyo one hour, the sky was completely dim, and there was only the gloom of silk lamps and candles in the house.

Although the food served by the old shopkeeper is hot, but the oil and water are low, the taste is a little bit different from the past after all. The mother and daughter know that this place is remote and the conditions are poor, so naturally they did not complain at all, and barely finished the meal. Meals.

After the mother and daughter whispered and laughed in the house for a long time, the Inn had become silent inside and outside, returning to the night of the third watch.

"..."

The young young woman took off the fine velvet fur robe, curled her sideburns slightly, and blew lightly on the lamp in front of the table, and the room was suddenly covered by darkness.

Tightening her breasts, the young woman walked silently back to the bed, looking at her peacefully sleeping daughter, her eyes softened, she was sitting on the side of the bed, thinking about taking care of her for a while. But his head became a little groggy and sleepy.

"I still have to... rest for one night."

The young woman sighed secretly.

In fact, not only is my daughter tired from long distances, she is also aching, fatigued and sleepy.

Normally, she is a noble lady in her home, not to mention washing clothes, and even her fingers have never been exposed to muddy water. It can be said that she has no worries about clothing and food since childhood, and she has noble lady to serve. get together.

And now...

She squeezed her aching eyebrows, ready to lie down and rest for a while, and her behavior was extremely cautiously, for fear of disturbing her daughter.

"..."

But after a long nap, the young woman suddenly opened her eyes and her ears trembled slightly.

Outside the house, there was a faint strange movement.

As usual, she, the wealthy Eldest Young Lady, of course can’t hear these small sounds, but since she experienced that great change a few months ago, she often has nightmares like her own daughter, and her hearing becomes a little more sensitive. ......

Just some wind and grass will make her heart tremble, and it is more difficult to fall asleep than before, as if the heartstrings are still tight.

Although it did not have any effect on the body, it is still unforgettable.

"Outside...should a guest of the Inn wake up at night?"

The young woman murmured in her heart, and slowly closed her eyes again.

On the way, she was also in fear for a long time, but to this day she has never met the real villain ka-cha!

There was a strange noise, very close!

The young woman opened her eyes in horror, and quickly got up and looked intently. She was shocked to see that the fastened door bolt was slowly opened by some device from the crack of the door!

There is a thief!

The young woman felt the cold sweat behind her for a moment, and her thoughts turned in a hurry. She immediately got up from the bed in a hurry, trying to light up the lamps on the table again.

If a culprit is worried, just turn on the lights and scream. There are so many people inside and outside the Inn, and they should be able to scare them away. Even more how Uncle Li is taking care of him outside. With his skill, although he is old, he is also good enough to deal with the little ones.

The fire folds and splashes a few strands of fire star,

When the flame is ignited, the lamp will be ignited again soon.

The young woman looked happy and was about to shout shopkeeper, but the smile on her face was suddenly frozen.

The lamp is turned off.

As if the lights were extinguished by life, black smoke came up, and the lightly lit guest room suddenly returned to dead silence and darkness.

The young woman was silent, her trembling hands were about to ignite the fire again.

But

The flame that just lit up instantly went out.

The young woman was horrified, reacting to the night design without any slowness. Seeing that the door bolt would be completely destroyed if she couldn't hold it for a few more breaths, she couldn't even stop her.

Therefore, the young woman was dazed and hesitated for a moment, and immediately ran to the bed, picked up her dazed daughter, and ran to the old cupboard as fast as she could, ready to slip into it for a while.

Just now while cleaning the guest room, she paid attention to this place.

Although this cabinet is very old, but because of this, its interior is full of holes, and the wall has already been rotted with a big hole, while the old shopkeeper used several layers of wooden boards to cover it. , Did not re-crucifixion.

And the current situation is enough for them to get in and avoid danger when the mother and daughter are in danger.

Crunch

When the cabinet door opened, the young woman had no time to get into it, but her eyes were suddenly blank.

A corpse lies in the clapboard with a distorted face. Through the layers of templates, the pain and despair before death can be vaguely seen.

The young woman's face was pale, but she quickly covered Lin Ling's eyes, who was still dizzy in her arms, and backed away a few steps.

Something is wrong!
