Chapter 217 Leading Edge(1/2)

Xiangxiang ran back secretly at some point, stood under the tree, and looked at them quietly.

He Yan looked at him blankly, "Is what you said true?"

"I see that you have improved a lot of swordsmanship, why are you still the same as before?" he sneered lazily, "and stupid and short."

This sentence seemed to pull He Yan into the past, and the embarrassment and embarrassment just now disappeared a lot without realizing it.

There seemed to be a warm passion in my heart, and all the uneasiness turned into ashes at this moment. She raised her head and couldn't hide her smile, "But you are the same as before."

Xiao Jue coughed lightly and turned his head away. He Yan was so excited that he refused to let him go. He held his sleeve and refused to let go. He turned his head and asked, "You have personally advised me in this swordsmanship. But I was still dressed as a man back then, so why did you take care of me so much? Did you already like me at that time?"

This is really shameless, Xiao Jue sneered, "I'm not a broken sleeve."

"But you look like a broken sleeve." He Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder Yan Nanguang always disliked me at that time. He probably thought I was a male vixen, and he also defiled the only genius who could regard him as an opponent."

Xiao Jue stared at her incrediblely, "You are not sad now, are you?"

"I was not sad at all." He Yan said stubbornly.

"You were about to cry just now." He raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't bear to leave me so much?"

He Yan couldn't hold back his face and retorted, "How could I cry? You read it wrong. Of course, I can't bear to leave you. At least we have a friendship with classmates."

"Just just a classmate?"

He Yan ignored him and leaned closer to him and said, "Don't change the subject, tell me first, why did you give me some advice on swordsmanship during the Xianchang Pavilion? You are not a helpful person. You must have fallen in love with me at that time. Xiao Huaijin, is it that you are really a broken sleeve?"

Xiao Jue's face was slightly dark and he scolded, "Nothing is said."

"Then tell me why."

He Yan had long wanted to ask him about this. At that time, he had not had much close relationship with Xiao Jue, but Xiao Jue was willing to give a careful guidance on swordsmanship for the last night in the Xianchang Pavilion. Don't blame Yan He for not understanding it. Even she herself didn't understand it very much.

Xiao Jue smiled, "Do you still remember that when you first entered Xianchang Pavilion, the Winter Solstice was competing in the Dongshan Hunting Ground in Beijing."

He Yan was stunned, "I remember, what's wrong?"

She still remembers that it was at that time that she saw Shen Muxue for the first time in her previous life. Miss Shen’s family, who was lonely and elegant, and the handsome young master Xiao Er stood together. Even from the perspective of this life, she was a pair made of heaven and earth.

He Yan muttered, "At that time, His Majesty was visiting the hunting ground, and all the students of Xianchang Pavilion had to enter the competition. The students who received the most prey could receive rewards, and the students who did not hunt had no food to eat. Who came up with this idea? It was cold and it was normal for them to not hunt prey. How could they just eat harshly to make others hungry!"

When talking about this, she was indignant now, because He Yan was the one who was not hungry at that time.

Xiao Jue chuckled and said, "Didn't that choose you yourself?"

"What?"

"I have already hunted a rabbit, but I have released it," he turned his head and looked at He Yan, "Isn't it your choice?"

He Yan was stunned and asked stammeringly, "How do you know?"

"Because," Xiao Jue bent his lips, "That's a rabbit, I put it."

It was the winter day in Shuojing, and the hunting ground was covered with snow. At that time, nothing happened to the Xiao family, and Xu Jingfu was not as good as covering the sky with one hand. Emperor Wenxuan came to Dongshan in person to watch the students of Xianchang Pavilion compete for hunting.

Originally, it was just a competition for the school, because the arrival of the emperor would inevitably add more lottery. In order to make all the young men work harder and not lose their face in the Xianchang Pavilion, I don’t know which genius gentleman in the school came up with strict rules and could not hunt prey and would have no food to eat today.

He Yan scolded the person who came up with this idea in his heart and was so bloody.

She was not very good at martial arts, and her equestrian and archery were even worse. She had no advantage with these teenagers. There was no doubt that as soon as she entered the hunting ground, she was very happy and energetic with her classmates, and He Yan was extremely helpless.

At that time, Xiao Jue was undoubtedly the most eye-catching of all the young men. He had a beautiful face. But in a moment, there were a long list of prey tied behind the horse.

As a weak young master who cannot hold his shoulders, Lin Shuanghe followed Xiao Jue in an endless stream and got a lot of benefits. It doesn’t matter whether there is prey or not. Anyway, in the end, one or two of Xiao Jue’s prey is enough to pass the wrong way.

The two were walking in the woods of the hunting ground, and suddenly saw a gray feathered arrow flying from the slant, stabbing accurately... a stone.

The two of them had a meal.

Soon, a short figure ran out of the woods. She ran to the stone, pulled out the arrows with force, looked at them, and simply sat on the ground, sighed, and said to herself, "It's hard to hunt, it's harder than to reach the sky!"

Xiao Jue, Lin Shuanghe "..."

They all recognized that the person wearing a mask was the last brother, Master He, who was sighing in Xianchang Pavilion.

Lin Shuanghe had previously "progressed" with He Yan and had already felt some mutual appreciation for He Yan. Seeing this, he said, "My Brother He is too pitiful."

Xiao Jue watched coldly and was unmoved. In his opinion, the eldest young master of the He family often had brain problems.

"Look at his horse, he didn't have a prey at all. When he got back, he would be hungry. It's not easy to get hungry in the cold winter," Lin Shuanghe was a doctor's parents' heart, and he expressed his compassion, "How about we give him a badger so that he won't be empty?"

Xiao Jue sneered, "You go by yourself."

Lin Shuanghe really walked to Xiao Jue's horse and picked out the prey tied behind the horse. However, he was halfway through, and suddenly realized, "No, although this kid He Rufei can't do anything, he is extremely stubborn. If he just gave it to him like this, he probably won't agree, and he will refuse righteously."

Just as he proposed to let He Rufei get the last place in the exam so that he could win the second to last, this kind of gentleman is very principled and it is difficult to impress the real money and silver. Lin Shuanghe thinks that he is quite good at seeing people, and He Rufei will probably not accept such straightforward help.

"So," Lin Shuanghe had an idea, "Huai Jin, your archery skills are not good. You will shoot a rabbit later and let He Rufei pass by. The injured rabbit cannot run fast. If He Rufei fails to shoot, he may have a problem with his brain."

"What do you have to do with me?" The young man Xiao Jue frowned, "Don't go."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Look at this kid, it's so pitiful. Everyone has a classmate, but it's a good thing... Huai Jin, Huai Jin?"

Lin Shuanghe was particularly patient with some trivial matters and knew that Xiao Jue was the most impatient person. As expected, after talking for a while, Xiao Jue was so annoyed that he picked up the bow and arrow on the horse's back and shot an arrow in one direction.

A gray hare jumped out of the short bush.

The arrow was a coincidence and did not hit the hare, but it barely rubbed one of its legs. So the rabbit's movements slowed down, but the arrow fell into the bushes and no one noticed it.

He Yan was leaning against the stone just now and sighing when he suddenly saw a hare jumping out of the forest. He was shocked at first, then he became happy, and grabbed the bow and arrow and followed without saying a word. I don’t know what happened to the hare, but his movements were much slower than before. He Yan guessed that winter might be too cold and even the rabbit became less sensitive, but this is also a good thing. The rabbit that runs fast cannot catch, and can the rabbit that runs slowly fly?

Lin Shuanghe quietly praised Xiao Jue, "My wonderful Huaijin, your help is completely unremarkable. This kid must have thought he had picked up a big advantage. Let's go and have a look." He pulled Xiao Jue with an unwilling look and followed He Yan secretly.

The rabbit ran away, as if it was not strong enough, and it became slower. He Yan thought about it, then put the bow and arrow away and carried it behind his back. He felt that even if he didn't use the bow and arrow, the rabbit would probably not be able to run anymore afterwards, and he could catch it with his bare hands. In ancient times, he waited for the rabbit to faint, but now he was waiting for the rabbit to faint. He Yan applauded for himself in his heart, and he still had time to watch the rabbit carefully.

The rabbit was very thin, maybe he had no food to be hungry in winter. Even if it was fried, it didn't have two taels of meat. She was thinking in her mind that she didn't know if the prey she hunted could be distributed to her students. However, taking the rabbit back to He's house was not enough for the family to get a piece of meat.

Not long after, the rabbit stopped, opened a grass, revealing a hole. He Yan quickly saw the rabbit's ear before he got into it, and raised it, saying, "It is said that the cunning rabbit has three holes, and the ancients did not deceive me." At this moment, something seemed to be moving at the entrance of the cave. He Yan held the rabbit in one hand and curiously opened the grass with the other hand, and locked three furry dumplings in the small hole, as if three Lantern Festivals were huddled together.

It turned out to be three rabbits.

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the gray rabbit in his hand that was constantly struggling with his legs. He suddenly realized that it was a female rabbit, and the hole was all her cubs.

He Yan fell silent.

Lin Shuanghe pulled Xiao Jue to watch the show in the distance, and said happily, "He Rufei is so lucky. He actually encountered a rabbit nest. I see that this bunch of rabbits is handed over. I don't have to be the last one this time, at least it's the second last one. But... why did he catch the rabbit in a daze?"

The rabbit under her hand was beating silently. He Yan looked at the three sesame Lantern Festivals in the cave. After a while, she sighed and took out a small white bottle from her arms.

"He he...what is he doing?" Lin Shuanghe was surprised.

The boy named He Rufei was grabbing the rabbit's ear and applying medicine to him. He even pulled a piece of the rabbit's leg that had been scratched by arrows from his robe. She bandaged it while saying, "Forget it, who told you to meet me? I am a good person and can't do anything to separate others' mother and son. I'll give you a code."

She complained in a lingering manner, "Baby, you must remember that because of you, I am hungry today."

He Yan moved very quickly, but in a moment, he bandaged it and placed the gray rabbit in his hand at the entrance of the cave. When he loosened his hand, the rabbit was free and rushed back into the cave.

"I didn't even say thank you?" He Yan sighed, "It's really a world of decline." Although she said that, she still spread the stones near the entrance of the cave to save her from being discovered by other beasts.

Lin Shuanghe was stunned, "He Rufei is fine in his brain? Is he here to hunt or release animals? He is showing compassion at this time, why is he the same as a girl's house? Is he sympathetic to this rabbit?" He turned sideways to look at Xiao Jue, "Huaijin, look..."

Xiao Jue's eyes fell on the young man wearing a mask. For some reason, he suddenly remembered something when he was young.

That was before he went down the mountain, he was practicing martial arts with experts on the mountain. The teacher was not as strict as the Xianchang Pavilion. If the task was not completed or the work was not done well, the punishment would be severe and very difficult.

When he was on the mountain, he tried his archery skills. At that time, Xiao Jue caught a deer.

The deer was very fat and was not as light and quick as other deer when he ran away. He grabbed the deer and when he was about to raise the knife, the deer knelt down at him.

This is a pregnant doe.

At that time, he was not as cold and ruthless as he was when he was twelve or thirteen years old. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help feeling pity.

The master stood by the waterfall and looked at him indifferently and said, "Don't be soft-hearted."

The boy stood there, looking at the doe with tears in his eyes, thought for a while, half knelt down, removed the ropes on the doe in front of his master, and watched it escape into the jungle.

The master was not angry, but just looked at him and said, "Do you know what you are doing? You shouldn't be soft-hearted."

"I just want to protect what I want to protect." The young man's white robe, Ruxue, replied calmly.

He was punished for three months to break the formation in the mountains.

Xiao Jue did not regret it. When he was a teenager, he simply thought that he did not want the doe to die, but now he saw He Rufei here and carefully bandaged a hare's wound. This was not the kindness of a woman, nor was it hypocrisy. He suddenly understood what he wanted to protect back then.

Pity for the weak.

A person wants to become strong to protect the person he wants to protect. If he loses his true nature in order to become strong, it is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse.

"Huai Jin, I think He Rufei is really mentally ill. If he is not a man, he can be my 'sister'..." Lin Shuanghe was still talking nonstop while talking, but the boy in white robe was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and pulled the corner of his mouth, and laughed.

On that day, He Rufei really found nothing, and was the only boy in Xianchang Pavilion who had not hunted prey. It was also the second day from that day that Xiao Jue got up at night and walked into the yard behind the bamboo forest. Seeing the clumsy boy wearing a mask "study hard and practice hard", he began his "unreasonable fate" with the last one.

He Yan was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that he and Xiao Jue had such an unknown past. Xiao Jue's arrow was hidden at that time. She did not find that the rabbit with a leg injury was done by Xiao Jue. It was just that the rabbit was pitiful and felt compassionate. Unexpectedly, it was here that it moved Xiao Jue.

"Are you moved by my kindness?" He Yan had a cold war, which sounded a bit goosebumps.

Xiao Jue seemed speechless, "Not kind."

only……

It’s just that at that time, Xiao Jue saw the shadow of his past in "He Rufei".

He Yan was happy, "So that's it, so you were already paying attention to me when you were classmates? Then why do you pretend to be indifferent?"
