Qin Lie walks stunned on the town mouth stone-paved road. 秦烈神情木然地走在镇口的石道上。 Before the half a month is the same, his look does not have the appearance emptily, a clothing putty mark stained, looks like the grey mourning face, appears quite distressed. 和半月前一样,他眼神空洞没有神采,一身衣衫泥迹斑斑,看起来灰头丧脸的,显得颇为狼狈。 In him behind, a Ling Ying colored clothing, the physique is abundant, the bright eyes reveal the meaning of intense doubts, not anxiously not slow with. 在他身后,凌颖一身彩衣,身姿丰盈,明眸流露出强烈的疑惑之意,不急不缓地跟着。 Before the half a month, after Qin Lie leaves Herb Mountain, Ling Family Patriarch thinks that he in the mid-hill, has considered to see him anxiously, the arrangement person day and night continuous defending waits in the Herb Mountain ore cave entrance. 半月前,在秦烈离开药山以后,凌家家主以为他在山腹,一直急着想见他,就安排人日夜不休的守在药山的矿洞口等候。 Night the Ling Feng guarding, daytime is Ling Ying assumes personal command, they are in shifts to defend, as soon as he comes to immediately to report Ling Family Patriarch. 夜里凌峰看守,白天则是凌颖坐镇,两人轮班守着,一等他现身就立即禀报凌家家主。 Also because of so, in curious Du Heng to Herb Mountain, still had not found the opportunity to investigate thoroughly. 也是因为如此,对药山内部充满好奇的杜恒,一直没有找到机会深入探查。 But Ling Feng and Ling Ying they, was only permitted by the Ling Chengye request in the Herb Mountain ore mouth waiting, refusing them to go down to the mid-hill, therefore they to the present do not know that in Herb Mountain has the strange formation asylum. 而凌峰、凌颖两人,也被凌承业要求只准在药山矿口等待,严禁他们深入山腹,所以他们到现在也不知道药山里面有奇阵庇护。 This evening, Ling Ying defends in the ore mouth as usual, bored to must doze off, suddenly saw Qin Lie comes back from the Arctic Mountain Range direction. 今天傍晚,凌颖和往常一样守在矿口,无聊到都要打瞌睡的时候,猛然看到秦烈从极寒山脉的方向回来。 At that time Ling Ying was startled almost screamed. 凌颖当时就惊的差点尖叫起来。 She is tagging along after Qin Lie, eyes of doubt, stay on Qin Lie are shaking, has not looked at any way, this let her bottom of heart doubts. 她一路尾随着秦烈,一双狐疑的眼睛,停留在秦烈身上晃悠着,也没有瞧出什么门道来,这让她心底疑惑更甚了。 „This fool unexpectedly not in mine tunnel, but stayed in Arctic Mountain Range half a month, why does he go? All alone intrudes Arctic Mountain Range, how does he live?” “这傻子竟然不在矿洞,而是在极寒山脉呆了半月,他去干吗？孤身一人闯入极寒山脉,他是怎么活下来的？” Ling Ying more is more puzzled, on the charming face covered entirely the surprise, the time has had the curiosity to Qin Lie. 凌颖越想越不解,妩媚的脸上布满了诧异,次对秦烈生出了好奇心。 Qin Lie naturally also knows that behind Ling Ying is taking a look at him throughout, in his heart does not have mighty waves, before soon is achieving Herb Mountain, he properly hides two bags, so as to avoid thing too brings in the unnecessary trouble, now is eased, he did not fear that the Ling Family person can interrogate anything through his goods. 秦烈自然也知道身后的凌颖始终打量着他,他心中不起一丝波澜,早在快要达到药山前,他就将两个袋子妥善藏好,免得身上东西太多引来不必要的麻烦,如今一身轻松,他也不怕凌家人能通过他身上的物品盘问出什么。 To the Ling Family person, he is far has any favorable impression, but does not have any evil intention, the relations of his master grandson and Ling Family, look in him, is only a pure transaction. 对凌家人,他谈不上有什么好感,但也没什么恶意,他爷孙俩和凌家的关系,在他看,只是一场纯粹的交易罢了。 The grandfather is Ling Family repairs Spirit Artifact, received exchange for the Herb Mountain internal right of use , helping his cultivation Heavenly Thunder Eradication that is all. 爷爷为凌家修复灵器,换取药山内部的使用权,帮助他修炼天雷殛仅此而已。 Was same as the past normal performance, he came from the town mouth, disregards the vision and censure of other people, walked toward own stone building directly. 和以往的正常表现一样,他从镇口进来,无视旁人的目光和非议,径直往自己的石屋走去。 „Fool comes back” the crying out strangely sound, was filtered directly by him, because was used to it, therefore could not affect him completely. 一个个“傻子回来”的怪叫声,直接被他过滤掉,因为习惯了,所以完全影响不了他。 When are not many, he returns to that three stone buildings, the stone building to be swept clear obviously, clean, Qin Lie does not care, closes the door to start to rest. 不多时,他就回到那三间石屋,石屋显然被清扫过,干干净净,秦烈也不在意,关上房门就开始休息。 His returning town, making many people with high aspirations have doubts inexplicable, for example Brother Ling Chengye and Du Family person...... 他的回镇,让很多有心人都疑惑莫名,譬如凌承业兄弟和杜家人…… Also some people are indifferent, for example Ling Xuanxuan, she still in playing the martial stage is calling, had not looked that Qin Lie that fears one...... 也有人漠不关心,譬如凌萱萱,她依然在演武场内吆喝着,都没多看秦烈那怕一眼…… „Patriarch.” Does Ling Ying abandon Qin Lie, the clothes? Fluttering, is arriving at side Ling Chengye quickly, the charming small face covers entirely the doubts, shouted in a low voice tenderly: „He, he does not come out from the mine tunnel, but is...... But came from the Arctic Mountain Range direction! Entire half a month time, he simply not in mine!” “家主。”凌颖弃下秦烈,衣?飘荡着,快步来到凌承业身旁,妩媚的小脸布满疑惑,低声娇呼:“他,他不是从矿洞出来的,而是……而是从极寒山脉的方向过来的！整整半月时间,他根本没有在矿山里面！” Such remarks, the Ling Family three people are the facial expression are astonished, to the whereabouts of Qin Lie this half a month curiously. 此言一出,凌家三人都是神情惊异,对秦烈这半月的行踪好奇不已。 „Knew, this matter do not talk too much to others.” “知道了,此事不要对别人多言。” Ling Family Patriarch has hesitated, told that Ling Ying do not talk too much, hints her to get down, then has hit a meaningful glance to Ling Chengzhi, two brothers add on Ling Yushi to set out, walks in the direction of Qin Lie stone building. 凌家家主沉吟了一下,吩咐凌颖别多嘴,示意她下去,然后对凌承志打了个眼色,两兄弟加上凌语诗都起身,往秦烈石屋的方向走去。 Before three people arrive at Qin Lie stone building gate quickly, knocks at a door by Ling Chengye, „Qin Lie, I am your Uncle Ling, but also please open the door.” 三人很快来到秦烈石屋门前,由凌承业叩门,“秦烈,我是你凌叔叔,还请开一下门。” In the room, Qin Lie opens eyes, knits the brows slightly, is about to have adjusted, opens Stone Gate by the vacant expression, the to ignore Ling Family three people come. 屋内,秦烈睁开眼,微微皱眉,然后快调整了一下,以茫然的表情将石门打开,放任凌家三人进来。 In the five years, sometimes Ling Chengye occasionally can come, at that time Qin Shan still, him came is looks for Qin Shan to repair Spirit Artifact. 这五年,有时候凌承业偶尔会过来,那时候秦山还在,他过来都是找秦山修复灵器。 The grandfather in later, recent two years of Ling Chengye has not come again, this time visit makes the Qin Lie misgivings grow thickly, does not know the Ling Family three people of purposes in coming. 爷爷不在以后,最近两年凌承业再也没有来过,这次的登门让秦烈疑云丛生,不知道凌家三人的来意。 After the Ling Family three people come, sees Qin Lie to sit on the stone stool, looks at the cup on stone table intently, as if that cup compares three people interestingly many...... 凌家三人进来后,看到秦烈坐在石凳上,直愣愣地看着石桌上的杯子,似乎那杯子比三人有意思的多…… Ling Chengye is staring at him carefully, looked at a while, suddenly said: „Qin Lie, I do not know that you can hear, does not know you to be able really forever this. I want to say...... Spirit Grass Spirit Herbs on Herb Mountain, to Ling Family important, but the recent two years, these Spirit Grass start to wither massively, this affected the Ling Family base industry.” 凌承业仔细盯着他,看了一会儿,忽然说道:“秦烈,我不知道你能不能听见,也不知道你是不是真的就会永远这样。我只是想说……药山上的灵草灵药,对凌家来说至关重要,而最近两年,那些灵草开始大量枯萎,这已经影响到了凌家的基业。” Under, he deeply looked to the eye of Qin Lie, has not seen anomaly, but, he can only then downward say: „If, if you can hear, if you have the means that I hope that on Herb Mountain on the wane of Spirit Grass can stop. Ling Family...... Cannot bear the so serious loss, but also asked you to pay attention truly this matter.” 顿了下,他深深瞧向秦烈的眼睛,并没有看到异常,无奈下,他只能接着往下说:“如果,如果你能听见,如果你有办法,我希望药山上灵草的凋零能停止。凌家……承受不了如此沉重的损失,还请你真正留心一下这件事。” A Qin Lie word, does not continue to look at the cup. 秦烈一言不,继续看着杯子。 „A matter.” Ling Chengye hesitant a while, more helpless saying: „I have promised your grandfather, will take care of you to 17 years old, a way is to let you and my daughter becomes engaged. According to the agreement of me and your grandfather, should hold the ceremony recently, I inform your one, yes...... Between you and Yushi. I will arrange as soon as possible, ceremony on these days.” “还有一件事。”凌承业犹豫了一会儿,愈无奈的说道:“我答应过你爷爷,会照顾你到17岁,其中一个方式就是让你和我的女儿订婚。按照我和你爷爷的约定,最近就应该举行仪式了,我通知你一声,是……你和语诗之间。我会尽快安排,仪式就在这一段时间。” Qin Lie is as before wooden, without any expression change, Ling Yushi actually complexion flood red, the facial expression blushes bashfully. 秦烈依旧木然,没有任何表情变化,凌语诗却脸色泛红,神情羞赧。 „I must explain beforehand that this engagement to protect you, will only maintain for two years. Two years later, in any event I will renounce the engagement, hopes that you have a psychology to prepare.” Ling Chengye continues to supplement that has hesitated a while, said: „Your grandfather has the kindness to my Ling Family, for these years we cooperated happily, after the hope, is this. Um, no matter your real situation how, after your matter me, not multibarreled, everyone/Great Family is together as far as possible well and that's the end.” “不过我要事先说明,这场订婚只是为了保护你,只会维持两年时间。两年后,不论如何我都会解除婚约,希望你有个心理准备。”凌承业继续补充,沉吟了一会儿,又说道:“你爷爷对我凌家有恩惠,这几年我们双方合作愉快,希望以后也是这样。嗯,不管你真实状况如何,你的事情我以后都不会多管,大家尽量好好相处就是了。” The words, Ling Chengye sets out, hints the younger brother daughter and he leaves together. 话罢,凌承业起身,示意弟弟女儿和他一起离开。 „Father, I wants with him to say alone several words, you walk first.” Ling Yushi lowers the head, sound gentle saying. “爹爹,我想和他单独说几句话,你们先走吧。”凌语诗垂着头,声音轻柔的说道。 Ling Chengye has the shame with her, sighed in bottom of heart, nodded has not talked too much, one step went out of the stone building with his younger brother first. 凌承业有愧与她,在心底叹了口气,点了点头没有多言,和他弟弟先一步走出了石屋。 In the room is suddenly peaceful, atmosphere gradually becomes somewhat strange, the Qin Lie expression is wooden, without any response, seems does not know that in the room still the sweet and pretty young female exists. 房间内忽然安静下来,气氛逐渐变得有些奇怪,秦烈表情木然,没有任何的反应,好似不知道屋内还有一个娇美的妙龄女子存在。 Ling Yushi is nipping the lower lip, both cheeks micro red, suddenly sets out saying: „You should very long not take a bath, I helped you turn on the water first.” 凌语诗咬着下唇,两腮微红,忽然起身道:“你应该很久没洗澡了,我先帮你放水了。” The words, her deportment graceful getting up, curls up the sleeve on small arm, reveals section of snow white white arms, look somewhat distressed goes to that combing the hair and wash the face room is Qin Lie fetches water...... 话罢,她仪态优雅的起来,将小臂上的袖子卷起,露出一截雪白皓腕,神色有些狼狈的去那间梳洗室为秦烈打水…… Waits for in the wooden barrel to be filled with the water , after having put away towel and other goods, she comes back. 等木桶内盛满水,也放好了毛巾等物品以后,她才又重新回来。 She through this series of movement, adjusts itself, this while, she already slowly tranquil. 她是通过这一连串的动作,来调整自己,就这一会儿,她已经慢慢平静了下来。 On her gentle and charming beautiful face, appears a self-pity to be helpless, saying of accepting fate: „My Ling Family owes Grandpa Qin Shan favour, I will repay through two years, after we become engaged, I will take care of you frequently, yeah, I also can only do clean up, turns on the water the matter of washing for you, hopes that you can forgive......” 她那娇柔美丽的脸上,浮现一丝自怜无奈,认命的说道:“我凌家欠秦山爷爷的人情,我会通过两年时间来偿还,等我们订婚后,我会经常来照顾照顾你,哎,我也只能做些打扫卫生,为你放水洗漱的事情,希望你能谅解……” During the speech, Ling Yushi takes has been moistening the cleaning rag of water together, no matter also Qin Lie anything responded, in room skilled bustles about. 讲话间,凌语诗拿着一块沾过水的抹布,也不管秦烈什么反应,就在屋内熟练的忙碌起来。 The Qin Lie eye is vacant, heart inside may clear very much, through familiarity of Ling Yushi to room, he knows quickly cleaning work in this half a month room, should be completed by at present this gentle and charming beautiful female. 秦烈眼睛茫然,心里面可清晰的很,通过凌语诗对屋内的熟悉程度,他很快就知道这半月屋内的清扫工作,应该都是由眼前这个娇柔美丽的女子来完成的。 „Yeah, you are also very pitiful, after Grandpa Qin Shan passed away, all your alone, the brain too cannot use......” “哎,你也挺可怜的,秦山爷爷去世后,你就孤身一人,脑子又不太能用……” „Original my father is the preparation lets you and younger sister becomes engaged, she and your age is also similar, but the younger sister will be the Ling Family future hope, the father feared that the matter of engagement will affect her cultivation, with her future marital important matter, therefore...... By me for her.” “本来我爹是准备让你和小妹订婚的,她和你年龄也相仿,可小妹是凌家未来的希望,爹爹怕订婚的事情影响她的修炼,和她将来的婚姻大事,所以……就由我替她了。” „, I, although is elder sister, does not have the younger sister cultivation talent to be high. I this year already 17, before 20 years old, perhaps did not have the means to break through Natal Opening Realm, Nebula Pavilion elected the core member to nitpick, before 20 years old , if cannot break through Natal Opening Realm, life-long is unable to obtain their is willing.” “呵,我虽然是姐姐,却没小妹修炼天赋高。我今年已经17了,20岁之前,恐怕是没办法突破开元境了,星云阁选核心成员可挑剔了,20岁前如果都不能突破开元境,终生都无法得到他们的肯。” „My father and Third Uncle want to integrate Nebula Pavilion for a lifetime, the destiny is what a pity bad, they are unable to realize entire life, can only pin on the younger sister.” “我爹和三叔一辈子都想融入星云阁,可惜命运不济,他们一生都无法实现,只能寄托在小妹身上了。” „Yeah, because the medicinal herbs wither, was seized the handle by the Du Family person, recently bothersome extremely bothersome, the woman who they stirred, wholeheartedly wants to appropriate to oneself Herb Mountain, this threatening, does not know that can block.” “哎,因为药草枯萎,又被杜家人捉到把柄,最近被他们搅的烦不胜烦,那女人,一心想将药山据为己有,这次来势汹汹,也不知道能不能挡住了。” „......” “……” Perhaps because quick must with the Qin Lie engagement, possibly she thought that Qin Lie does not know she in saying anything, from did not have too to guard at heart, therefore Ling Yushi worked, the mouth has read broken, whispers to keep, made Qin Lie have a more thorough understanding to the Ling Family situation actually. 或许因为很快就要和秦烈订婚,也可能她觉得秦烈不知道她在说些什么,从心里上就没有太多防备,所以凌语诗做事的时候,嘴里一直碎碎念,嘀嘀咕咕个不停,倒是让秦烈对凌家的情况有了更深入的了解。 Also lets him to Ling Yushi, many understanding, he impression to this woman, there is a change of certain extent...... 也让他对凌语诗,有了更多的认识,他对这个女人的观感,也有了一定程度的变化…… The matter completes, Ling Yushi has not continued to stop over, told the Qin Lie water to put away, remembered takes a bath earlier, softly left from the room. 事情做完,凌语诗没有继续逗留下去,告诉秦烈水已经放好,记得早点洗澡,就轻手轻脚的从屋内离开。 Qin Lie listened to a while, determined that she has walked away, this enters the combing the hair and wash the face room. 秦烈听了一会儿,确定她走远了,这才走进梳洗室。 Watches by the bucket big piece water-damaged, with that pack of not neat towels, he shakes the head to be able help laughing. 看着水桶旁边的大片水渍,和那叠的并不整齐的毛巾,他摇头哑然失笑。 Coming out that he looks, Ling Yushi should often not handle this matter, in addition under was just flustered is thrown into confusion, therefore makes into this. 他看的出来,凌语诗应该并不常做这种事情,加上刚刚心慌下手忙脚乱,所以才弄成这样。 Touches the nose, Qin Lie is not intent, takes off the clothes to enter the wooden barrel, then the whole body quickly grasps the meaning of something, almost screamed. 摸了摸鼻子,秦烈也不为意,脱衣就进入木桶,然后浑身一个激灵,差点尖叫起来。 Unexpectedly is the cold water! 竟然是冷水！ ...... …… The 2nd date, the Qin Lie look was vacant, flows nasal mucus to enter the Ling Family dining hall. 第二日,秦烈眼神茫然,流着一条鼻涕进入凌家饭堂。 Afraid Ling Yushi, sees his nasal mucus coming, hurries to endure the happy expression to lower the head, does not dare to look at his one eyes. 心虚的凌语诗,一看到他鼻涕呼啦的进来,赶紧忍着笑意低下头,不敢多看他一眼。 Brother Ling Chengye and Du Jiaolan quickly because the matter of Spirit Grass starts to be in sharp opposition, that rich smell of gunpowder, making Qin Lie think that both sides will possibly make war on the dining table. 凌承业兄弟和杜娇兰很快就因为灵草之事开始针锋相对,那浓郁的火药味,让秦烈都觉得双方可能在饭桌上就会开战。 After the food, he continues to go to Herb Mountain mine tunnel cultivation, because of not at the Thoughtless-Tranquility condition, time his cautious control of cultivation the strength of Heavenly Thunder, so as to avoid the electric current overflows to give to kill Spirit Grass Spirit Herbs. 饭后,他继续前往药山矿洞修炼,因为没有处在无法无念的状态,修炼的时候他谨慎控制着天雷之力,免得电流溢出去将灵草灵药都给弄死。 Ling Chengye words, played the proper role, he does not want to ruin the Ling Family base industry, annoys infinitely troublesome. 凌承业的一番话,还是起到了应有的作用,他也不想毁掉凌家的基业,惹来无穷麻烦。 His recovery was normal, Ling Feng and Ling Ying no longer are also defending the mine tunnel, in a night, Du Heng finally found the opportunity to enter the mine tunnel. 他恢复了正常,凌峰、凌颖也就不再守着矿洞,在一个夜里,杜恒终于找到机会进入矿洞。 After an exploration of having a dizzy spell, Du Heng mind shock, same in the change by hole was shocked with Ling Chengzhi. 经过一番头晕目眩的探索后,杜恒心神惊骇,和凌承志一样被洞内的变化震惊到。 When situation of Du Heng in the hole to his mother to report, Ling Chengye is also beginning to arrange, he requests Ling Xuanxuan and Ling Chengzhi temporarily leaves, making them go to Icestone City. 就在杜恒将洞内情况向他母亲禀报的时候,凌承业也在着手安排,他要求凌萱萱和凌承志暂时离开,让他们去一趟冰岩城。 Because he is very clear, once makes Ling Xuanxuan know that the elder sister replaces her and Qin Lie becomes engaged, her certainly sticking out suddenly difficult, obstructs Qin Lie and Ling Yushi engagement ceremony. 因为他很清楚,一旦让凌萱萱知道姐姐代替她和秦烈订婚,她一定会暴起难,阻扰秦烈和凌语诗的订婚仪式。 Ling Chengye makes them go to Icestone City, opens a Ling Xuanxuan reason, what is main is lets them and that side Nebula Pavilion greets. 凌承业让他们去冰岩城,支开凌萱萱只是其中一个原因,最主要的还是让他们和星云阁那边打个招呼。 The Ling Xuanxuan talent is excellent, that side Nebula Pavilion very much early has also noticed, Ling Chengye hopes that Nebula Pavilion can look in the Ling Xuanxuan face , to continue to extend a time limit the time of Ling Family payment medicinal herbs. 凌萱萱天赋过人,星云阁那边也很早留意到了,凌承业希望星云阁能看在凌萱萱的面子上,继续宽限凌家缴纳药草的时间。 ...... …… In the recent several days, Ling Yushi also seriously depends on word to come to the Qin Lie stone building frequently. 最近几天,凌语诗也当真依言经常来秦烈的石屋。 Daytime, is not at while Qin Lie, she takes away to wash off the clothes that Qin Lie changes, in the evening after Qin Lie comes back, she will bring the clothes of air drying to come, turns on the water to take a bath for him, helping him clean up. 白天,趁秦烈不在,她将秦烈换下的衣服拿走洗掉,傍晚在秦烈回来后,她会带着晾干的衣服过来,为他放水洗澡,帮他打扫卫生。 The awkward matter of that type of mislay cold water, later again has not appeared, naturally, her these customs have not changed, daily in thinking aloud that read broken. 那种放错冷水的尴尬事,之后再也没有出现过,当然,她的那些习惯也没变,天天都在碎碎念的自言自语。 Qin Lie after initial irritability, adapted gradually, slowly life that is familiar with some people to take care. 秦烈经过初始的别扭后,也渐渐适应了,慢慢习惯有人服侍的生活。 Once Ling Yushi puts away the water, he also no longer waited for Ling Yushi to leave, directly combing the hair and wash the face room flushing. 一旦凌语诗放好水,他也不再等凌语诗离开了,直接就去梳洗室冲洗。 Each time he ** the body is taking a bath in wooden barrel, is away from a leafed door, is listening to the complaint of outside Ling Yushi that gentle voice song, he will raise the eyebrow slightly, sometimes mouth corner also will show the strange smiling face. 每次他**着身子在木桶洗澡,隔着一扇门,听着外面凌语诗那柔声细语的抱怨,他都会微微扬眉,有时候嘴角还会露出怪异的笑容。 „I walked first, you wash slowly.” Outside has broadcast the Ling Yushi gentle weak sound, when Qin Lie thinks she must leave, the Ling Yushi breath a little disorder before gate, low such as housefly shouted lightly: „Tomorrow, tomorrow was the day that my father arranged......” “我先走了,你慢慢洗吧。”外面传来了凌语诗轻柔酥软的声音,就在秦烈以为她就要离开的时候,门前的凌语诗呼吸有点紊乱,低如蚊蝇的轻呼:“明天,明天就是我爹安排的日子了……” After she leaves is very long, Qin Lie responds that sits looks at the house beam in the wooden barrel dull, quite a while has not recovered. ( to be continued ) 等她离开很久以后,秦烈才反应过来,坐在木桶内呆呆看着房梁,半天没回过神来。（未完待续）
