Hearing Jing Ran's words, Jiang Baixi was in a bad mood immediately. She rubbed her face and sat down next to Jing Ran, snatched the wine glass from her hand, and said in a bad tone: "So what happened eight years ago? What's the matter, her senior sister?"

"..." Jing Ran glanced at her, snatched the wine glass back, and instead of pouring the wine, just stroked the rim of the glass with her fingertips, lowered her head slightly and said, "I don't remember clearly."

Jiang Boxi made a gesture to hit her, and raised his eyebrows, "Why are you fooling me about everything?"

"I didn't fool you." Jing Ran turned to look at Jiang Boxi seriously, "I really can't remember."

Jiang Boxi frowned, fumbled for the meaning of Jing Ran's words in his mind, but did not make a sound.

Jing Ran glanced at her again, looked far away to the table, and closed his eyes slightly as if recalling: "I just remember that eight years ago, I was ordered by the old Taoist teacher to travel to Drunk City, because I knew it was mysterious and unpredictable. I bought this small courtyard in the north of the city, one is for the convenience of long-term living, and the other is to bury it here.”

Hearing her speak, Jiang Boxi listened quietly without questioning or interrupting.

After a pause, Jing Ran said again: "I have stayed here for five days, and I have searched every corner of Drunken City many times, but I have never found anything particularly suspicious, not even the mysterious city lord's residence and I have never touched the shadow of the legendary million soldiers."

"On the night before I was about to leave, I casually jumped onto the high wall of the tower to sit and drink. It was the middle of winter in those few days, so there were not many people on the street. I saw Jin Yang from afar on the high wall. At the time, she was being chased by a man in black with extremely high martial arts skills. Although I was curious to watch, I didn't intend to intervene, but—"

When Jing Ran said this, she suddenly exerted force on her fingertips, and her eyes darkened, "It's just that when Jin Yang drew out his sword to resist, I recognized at a glance that the move she used was the unique sword technique of Yue Mishan's school, so she It must be someone from my teacher's sect."

"Then you rescued her?" Jiang Boxi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Even if I recognized her as someone from my sect, I never thought of showing my face. One is that her master has long been expelled from the sect by the old Taoist. If I save her, I will only draw my sword to help her, not for the sake of the sect. The other is that I When I saw her for the first time back then, I subconsciously wanted to avoid her."

Jing Ran glanced at Jiang Boxi, suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand, and leaned back heavily on the chair back, "Although there are no bright guards in Drunken City, there are hidden guards in the eight fan-shaped directions. If someone makes trouble, these hidden guards will show up very quickly. I have tried it a few days ago, so at that time I just drew out the dark guards of Drunken City as usual, and wanted to use their appearance to force the men in black back. The man in clothes was scared away as I expected, but even though he failed to kill Jin Yang before leaving, he still put a heart-eating Gu on her."

"Heart-eating Gu is also a secret technique not handed down by the southern Xinjiang royal family. I waited in the dark for two quarters of an hour, but no one came to take Jin Yang away, and she would come back after a little more time." The sky is powerless, so I can only show up and bring her back here, and immediately suppress the heart-biting Gu poison for her, but I didn't expect—"

"Wait, you know how to detoxify Gu?" Jiang Boxi interjected when he heard this.

"It's just a temporary suppression," Jing Ran shook his head, "I had never seen the power of this southern border royal family Gu technique, and it was only after I tried it that I realized that there is no solution but to suppress it."

"Then how did you pressure her?" Jiang Boxi obviously thought of something, and asked again immediately.

Jing Ran suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said in a very low voice: "Use the power of three successes, walk back to Lingtai to Jin Yang's heart, gather together and press back."

Jiang Baixi suddenly frowned, "Using the strength to walk back to the Lingtai, both of them need to take off their clothes, you..."

"Given the urgency at the time, I had no other way." Jing Ran's eyebrows were dark, and he said word by word: "Although I took off my clothes, I didn't open my eyes to look at her, and she was unconscious."

Jiang Boxi let out a breath, obviously relaxed, and muttered: "I still treat you two just because of..."

Jing Ran suddenly turned his head, and gave Jiang Boxi a hard look. Jiang Boxi's face turned pale with fright, and he shut his mouth tightly in a sensible manner.

It's just that I still slander in my heart: Why do you have such a big reaction, there must be something...

The next moment, she heard Jing Ran's voice in a low voice with complicated annoyance: "It's just that I didn't expect that the man in black didn't give up, and would go back. I just helped Jin Yang suppress the poison and he hasn't received it yet." When I was holding my hand, a silver light suddenly flashed over the broken window, and at that moment, I only had time to pick up the quilt to wrap me and Jin Yang, and the point of the knife was already in front of my eyes."

"So that wooden man appeared to save you at this time?" Jiang Boxi again guessed shamelessly.

"Yes." Jing Ran didn't give her a cool swishing glance this time, but his eyes became gentle unconsciously, and the next moment, he was wrapped in layers of annoyance and pity, and said in a hoarse voice: "There are people in our courtyard, so if you miss the person with a sudden blow, it will be very difficult to get your hands. At that time, Mian'er used a bow and arrow and missed the knife less than an inch in front of my eyes. Although she was still He was young, but his internal strength was already impressive, and the arrow was piercing, the man in black was startled, and broke through the window without any hesitation."

Jiang Baixi's peachy eyes suddenly blinked, and inexplicably praised: "That wooden man is good at using a bow."

Jing Ran glanced at her again, without making a sound to inquire, but said: "If you still want to listen, you can eat."

"Listen, listen." Jiang Baixi hurriedly responded, tilting his head to wave a plate of fish and put it in front of Jing Ran, then took the chopsticks and stuffed them into her hands, and said courteously: "Come, come, come, eat while you're hungry." , What do you eat and sleep without talking, this prince never pays attention to those."

"..." Jing Ran lifted her hand angrily, poured a glass of wine, and continued: "At that time, I was only staring at the man in black leaving, when a small figure flashed in from the window very quickly, I fell behind the screen in front of the bed. Although I was surprised at the time, I didn’t make a sound, waiting to see what she wanted to do. Because although she saved me, this is my private courtyard that I bought , it is unusual for her to appear here."

"I don't see that you are still a black heart." Jiang Baixi suddenly clicked his tongue a few times, "You treat your benefactor like this..."

Jing Ran raised his hand unexpectedly and hit Jiang Boxi, and seeing her grinning, she seemed a little relieved and said, "I didn't know at the time that I would love this person so much in the future, if I knew, I would definitely love him from then on." , treat her well."

Looking at Jing Ran's serious expression, Jiang Boxi wanted to show a gritty expression on purpose but couldn't, so he blinked his peach blossom eyes and said interestedly: "So you let her in so that she could see you Does it look like you're naked with Jin Yang?"

Jing Ran was about to raise his hand to hit Jiang Boxi again, but Jiang Boxi took precautions, easily dodged it, raised his eyebrows leisurely and said: "The prince's face is as beautiful as a flower, you can do it again and again ?”

"Shameless." Jing Ran snorted crisply, withdrew her hand and closed her eyes and said, "Although I didn't stop her at the time, when she walked to the corner of the screen, she suddenly stopped by herself, as if she wanted to turn around and leave, but And for unknown reasons, he stood there for a long time, motionless, and never made a sound."

"I waited for quite a while, and saw that she was motionless and didn't respond to my questions, so I had no choice but to start dressing, but I kept gazing behind the screen from the corner of my eye, and when she heard the rustling of my dressing Cai seemed to tilt his head very slightly, looked through the screen, and at the same time tightened his fingers holding the big bow in his hand." Jing Ran's voice became hoarse.

Jiang Baixi had a deserving expression on his face, but he still remembered Cai Jingran's words, and said, "You can remember such small details so clearly, how can you not remember clearly?"

"Wait for me to finish." Jing Ran frowned and glanced at Jiang Boxi, and continued: "When I got dressed and was about to go out from behind the screen, a sky-blue sleeve suddenly stood in front of me. It was obviously a child's voice that said the four words "Don't come out". Although her voice was still soft and waxy at that time, she could already hear the clear timbre."

Jiang Baixi chuckled, "This wooden figure was originally a block of ice when he was young, but when he spoke, he was frozen in ice and snow for thousands of miles. But I only knew that she was very wooden, and I didn't know that she was still like this." Bored, angry and don't want to see you but stay there and don't want to leave, hahaha."

"I thought it was because she didn't want me to know who she was and to find out her identity." Jing Ran was a little disappointed, "So I answered clearly and asked her if she didn't want me to see her. Although obviously hesitant, I still nodded and said yes, so I had no choice but to promise her not to go out."

"After that, I asked her a few questions and she prevaricated me one by one, but I can clearly confirm that she didn't have the slightest malice."

"Besides, it is not an exaggeration to repay her life-saving grace, but I don't know how to repay her. Her clothes are luxurious, obviously there is no shortage of gold and silver, and that arrow is also a martial arts skill. I can give you one or two pointers. After much deliberation, I had no choice but to ask—why did you save me?

Originally, when I asked the first time, she prevaricated me with three words - I like it.When I insisted on it for the second time, I thought she would explain a few more words, but unexpectedly she shortened it down, and said succinctly without changing the pronunciation-I like it. "

Jiang Boxi laughed out loud when he heard this, as if he had thought of something, he echoed: "I know this, she has been this kind of virtue since she was a child, at the Zhangzhou Poetry Conference five years ago, she—"

"Virtue!" Jing Ran interrupted Jiang Boxi's words, raised her eyebrows and hit her again, Jiang Boxi immediately begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about your little one, she'll be fine everywhere. , you go on and on."

Jing Ran slapped Jiang Baixi again, and then said seriously: "I thought about it, and thought that if I were a child, I would like to listen to stories, so I picked two and it wasn't this...so I picked two. Tell her this story that not everyone has heard, and then I remembered that both of us were tired from standing, so we leaned against the screen and sat on the ground together, and then..."

Jing Ran narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "After that, I don't remember."

"What do you mean you don't remember?" Jiang Boxi was surprised, "Don't remember what happened after that?"

"Yes." Jing Ran nodded, her pupils shrinking slightly, "It was the morning of the second day when I remembered again. When I woke up, I was lying on a soft couch with a quilt properly covering my body, but the two of them were already Gone. At the time I thought I fell asleep while telling a story, and it was getting late, and it must have been the most sleepy time of the day."

"I thought about it after waking up, and guessed that the two of them should have known each other from the beginning. Mian'er's purpose in coming here was probably to take Jin Yang away, and saving me was just a matter of chance, so I let it go and didn't investigate any further. "

"The two of them have been incompatible since childhood, how could that wooden man run to save the golden seedling?" Jiang Baixi snorted, but apparently understood, knocking on the table and said: "So there were actually many speculations that night, For example, it was not a coincidence that you saved Jin Yang, but her intentional plan; another example, the wooden figure sensed Jin Yang's movements, so he chased her and took her away, and made her beat her with a bamboo basket before she woke up. The water is empty. Another example is that you didn't really fall asleep, but because of some circumstances, you had to sleep."

Jing Ran also reached out and knocked on the table, and raised his eyelashes, "That's why I said, I don't remember that night clearly. As for other guesses, since I can't be sure to solve them now, I don't care. I care The only question is—why Jin Yang and I have so many entanglements, and where should we untangle these unclear entanglements."

Jiang Baixi was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said grinningly: "Since you can't figure it out and you can't solve it, just cut it off with a sharp knife. No matter how obsessed that golden seedling is, he won't go to snatch a married woman." woman."

Jing Ran suddenly choked, and took a look at Jiang Boxi. Jiang Boxi's peachy eyes flashed, and he said deliberately: "Cut the mess quickly, where am I wrong, her senior sister?"

Her clever rhetoric made Jing Ran speechless for a while, saying that she was wrong and neither was right, nor was she right.

She couldn't help scolding "stinky girl", Jiang Boxi accepted it when he saw it was good, handed her the chopsticks again with a smile, and asked casually, "When will that wooden man wake up?"

"Maybe after a while, maybe a hundred days later." Jing Ran paused her arms, pursed her lips to pick up vegetables.

Jiang Boxi was annoyed secretly, and added: "Then what kind of stories did you tell her at that time, maybe tell me too?"

Jing Ran glanced at her, and before he could speak, a cool voice came in from a distance along with frivolous footsteps:

"Don't speak."

Jiang Baixi's Taohua eyes lit up immediately, he stood up and pulled the door, "You really woke up so fast!"

Jing Ran blinked her eyelashes, and the dense mist immediately dissipated. Her extremely soft voice was almost murmured, but it contained indescribable emotion and joy:

"I deliberately didn't stay by her side. If she wants to find me, she should wake up earlier."
