Early the next morning, Lan Qiao got a stone pot as if he were offering a treasure, saying that he had cut open a complete mountain stone purely using his internal force, and it was perfect for making soup for his two daughters.

"Look at what you can do." Li Jingshu was combing Bai Xueyin's hair in front of the window, without looking at Lan Qiao outside the door. "It doesn't matter, sister Xueyin finally sealed the fire poison yesterday. It was the time when her body was at its weakest.

Just like a serious illness that is recovering from a long-term illness, it requires a long period of nourishment and recuperation, and your pot is just right for her to make soup."

Bai Xueyin sat obediently in front of Li Jingshu, as if she wanted to turn her head to look at Lanqiao, but was held down by Li Jingshu and couldn't move. She looked very tired, and her spirit was even more depressed than before the breakthrough. Only her face, which originally looked pale,

, now it seems to have some blood color.

Lan Qiao seemed to have expected that she would respond like this, and immediately continued: "You are right, but there are no good ingredients except fish, shrimps and a few birds and beasts in our mountain valleys, so I was wondering if I should go there."

I’ll go to the countryside and buy some good stuff from the market. Anyway, you’re back now, so there’s no danger for my junior sister to be with you.”

"It turns out that Brother Qiao is tired of living in the valley and wants to go out for a walk. That's right. He's really depressed after staying here for more than a month." Li Jingshu revealed Lan Qiao's thoughts, "I just thought about the two of us.

Even beautiful women can’t keep Brother Qiao’s heart, so I’m still a little frustrated.”

"That's not what I meant. Being able to live together with you is a blessing that ordinary people cannot achieve in a few lifetimes." Lan Qiao rolled his eyes in embarrassment and found that he could no longer find any good excuses, so he had to bite the bullet.

Said: "Anyway, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he put down the stone pot and scurried down the tree before the two women could object.

"Buy more eggs." Li Jingshu shouted from the tree, "You can also bring back an old hen."

Lan Qiao waved his hand to show that he heard.

Seeing him go far away, Li Jingshu shook her head and sighed: "A good man is someone you look up to for the rest of your life, but now it's like this."

"Sister, what did you say?" Bai Xueyin opened her eyes wide, not understanding what Li Jingshu meant.

"This sentence comes from "Mencius", telling a story about a man from Qi." Li Jingshu explained with a smile, "It is said that this man from Qi has a wife and a concubine. Every time the husband goes out, he comes home full of food and drinks, saying that he and his wife are married.

Rich and powerful people were having a banquet. The wife was suspicious because she had never seen any respectable person visit her home, so she decided to follow her husband quietly to see where he had gone."

Bai Xueyin was aroused by this story and asked, "Where has her husband gone?"

Li Jingshu looked at Bai Xueyin's serious expression of wanting to know what was going on, and then covered her mouth with a smile, and then said: "She followed her husband almost all over the city, but she didn't see anyone talking to her husband. Until finally, she saw her husband

He walked into the cemetery and begged for leftovers from the grave sweepers, and it turned out that this was the secret to having enough food and wine every day."

When she said this, she suddenly suppressed her smile and said seriously: "When my wife returns home, she will tell Qi Ren's concubine what she saw and heard along the way."

Bai Xueyin said in shock: "What did she say?"

"My wife said to me..." Li Jingshu smiled slyly and patted herself first, intentionally or unintentionally, and then patted Bai Xueyin's shoulder: "A good man is someone you look up to for the rest of your life, and now it's like this. It means, no

Thinking that the husband we have relied on all our lives is such a person, the wives and concubines hugged each other and cried."

Bai Xueyin was stunned for a long time, as if she was carefully pondering the meaning of Li Jingshu's story. When she saw that Li Jingshu couldn't hold back her laughter, she finally realized that she was being teased by her, and said angrily: "Okay, sister is just teasing me. Bah."

Bah, are you her wife? Who is the concubine again? If senior brother knew that you were talking about him like this behind his back, he would definitely be angry with you."

Li Jingshu laughed and bent over, holding her belly and saying: "Hey, wait a minute, let me laugh for a while, I said sister Xueyin, you are too cooperative with me, it turns out you have never heard of this story."

Seeing her laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe, Bai Xueyin couldn't help but smile and said in disbelief, "I'm just a bit dull."

"That's right. Smiling more is good for recovery." Li Jingshu sat down next to Bai Xueyin and said, "You have suppressed the fire poison now. After a few months of rest, normal activities will be fine. However,

You have to remember that you can no longer use force against others, especially you cannot use your true energy. Because your true energy is always in a state of suppressing the fire poison, once you are lucky enough to fight with someone, the seal will be weakened, and the fire poison will be out of control.

, it will backfire into your meridians. At that time, even the gods will not be able to save you."

Bai Xueyin had never thought of this and couldn't help but said: "Then my swordsmanship and martial arts training will be in vain?"

"It's not a waste of training. It's more than enough to deal with a few hooligans. As long as you don't use your inner strength, everything will be fine."

"Without inner strength, my Magic Snow Sword Technique is just a decoration... Is there really no way for me to recover my martial arts? I still want to seek revenge on that witch Hua Yuxi. She set up a poisonous plan to steal Master Murong's Ice Lotus.

Xue Jingwan, she caused me such misery again, I didn’t even tell my senior brother about it, just so that one day I could settle the accounts with her in person.”

Li Jingshu smiled guiltily, pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, it is not impossible for you to recover your martial arts. As long as you are in better health and practice the final sixth level of Qiankun Jue with your senior brother, you can

Completely eliminate the poison of fire."

"The sixth level...?" A fleeting blush appeared on Bai Xueyin's face, and then her expression dimmed and she said awkwardly: "Then...it's actually quite good to be an ordinary person. You don't know any martial arts in this world.

There are too many of us, so it doesn’t matter if I have one more.”

Li Jingshu glanced at her and said, "You don't want to settle the score with Hua Yuxi anymore?"

Bai Xueyin said faintly: "Forget it, I will just assume that I remembered it wrongly. In fact, I have taken the Ice Lotus Snow Essence Pill, and the fire poison has been cured."

Li Jingshu asked curiously: "Are you so unwilling to continue practicing Qiankun Jue?" Bai Xueyin's answer was somewhat beyond Li Jingshu's expectations.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't." Bai Xueyin suddenly raised her head and said, "Sister Jingshu has read the secret book, and she should also know what kind of exercises are recorded in the chapter on the sixth floor."

"I know." Li Jingshu sighed secretly, and touched Bai Xueyin's head half-friendly and half-comforting, "You are such a good girl."

"Sister, please don't tell my senior brother about this." Bai Xueyin grabbed Li Jingshu's hand and warned, "I don't want him to make a choice against his will."

"I promise you." Li Jingshu looked at Bai Xueyin's sincere expression. Although she couldn't bear it, she was really relieved.

In the blink of an eye, June came, and the three people's days in the valley were peaceful and leisurely. As the weather got warmer, Bai Xueyin gradually returned to a normal state. According to Li Jingshu's estimation, Bai Xueyin could recover in two months at most.

With the physical strength of a normal person, he could even climb the peak overlooking the mountains in the west alone.

Regarding the fact that she could no longer use her inner strength and martial arts, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned it anymore, as if they recognized that the current situation was the most perfect ending.

Yes, who stipulates that a life of swords and swords is life?

Because they were both girls, Li Jingshu took care of Bai Xueyin's life with far more detail than Lan Qiao did when she was alone. From getting up in the morning to helping her wash her face and make-up, to accompanying her to bathe and wipe her body in the evening, her considerateness even surprised Bai Xueyin.

I wonder if I am a disabled person.

Lan Qiao still insists on telling Bai Xueyin a story every day, but with the addition of Li Jingshu, he and Li Jingshu often have different opinions on the same story. Often, when Bai Xueyin still understands nothing, they have to have a debate first.

As for food, under the attentive service of the two chefs, Bai Xueyin has become plump, and she is more feminine than her previous thin and capable image. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the two girls are dressing more and more.

She is becoming more and more bold in her choices. She often wears only two shorts and shorts, laughing and playing in the mountains, forests and river valleys like an uncivilized primitive. She shows her seductive and beautiful figure between heaven and earth, and often makes Lan Qiao laugh and play.

My mouth feels dry due to this.

On this day, it was Li Jingshu's turn to go to the rural market to buy daily necessities, while Lan Qiao and Bai Xueyin sat by the pool of the waterfall to enjoy the cool air.

Bai Xueyin felt that she was in good health today, so she rolled up her trouser legs, stepped into the cool and clear stream with her bare feet, and playfully chased the fish in the water.

After all, she was still weak, and the rocks underwater were round and slippery, so she stumbled accidentally and was about to fall.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Lan Qiao jumped in front of Bai Xueyin, opened his arms to hug her, and the two of them fell into the stream together, getting soaked to the skin.

"Be careful." Lan Qiao just said this, but he was afraid that it would make her sad because it would remind her that she couldn't use force, so he quickly changed his words: "It's okay, it's okay."

Bai Xueyin lay on Lan Qiao's body, unaware of why Lan Qiao became cautious, giggling, and kept pouring water on Lan Qiao's body.

Li Jingshu came back at this time, and was unhappy after witnessing this scene. She told Lan Qiao, who was not protective enough, and Bai Xueyin, who was naughty and mischievous, to make the two people who knew they were in the wrong stand aside like erring children and talk to each other.

Take a peek from time to time.

"Today I learned about a big event in the countryside." Li Jingshu was preparing to light a fire and cook while casually talking about the news she heard when she went out today: "The Japanese pirates from the southeast took advantage of the situation and brazenly attacked the second prefecture of Taizhou and Wenzhou. The second prefecture was insufficiently prepared in advance.

, and most of the soldiers were transferred to the Northern Expeditionary Army, they were no match for the Japanese pirates. Among them, Taizhou City had fallen 18 days ago. Although Wenzhou City barely held on, it was also destroyed by the war and was in dilapidated state, almost like a ghost land. The people of the second government

They are displaced and their lives are in ruins. Luzhou Prefecture sent people to post notices to the counties and townships under its jurisdiction. If they encounter refugees from the southeast coast, they are expected to be properly accommodated to prevent civil unrest."

Although this matter has nothing to do with the battle of Jingnan, which is the core of the world's contradictions, Li Jingshu's tone is still very sad: "These people who were able to escape are all lucky. More people may die in the war or be captured by Japanese pirates.

To be a slave.”

Hearing the news, Lan Qiao felt like a thunder exploded in his heart, and he pursed his lips tightly and remained silent. The Japanese pirates set off a storm of misery in the Second Southeast Mansion, and the Yuhuan Chumen area where his master Shen Xinliu and his beloved wife Feng Yeling lived

, is located at the center of this storm.

No matter how powerful the master is, he is still small and insignificant when facing thousands of troops.

"How many people do these Japanese pirates have? Can they capture two mansions?" Bai Xueyin asked softly without noticing the strange look on Lan Qiao's expression.

"It will take at least 30,000 to 50,000 people, plus hundreds of warships." Lan Qiao took a deep breath and said, "This is definitely not something that a ragtag group of scattered Japanese pirates can do. There must be an ambitious person behind them.

Commander, we have twisted the Japanese pirates from dozens of islands along the coast and even Ryukyu into a unified rope. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the court is busy dealing with civil strife, we want to get a share of the pie inland."

Li Jingshu showed admiration, as if she didn't expect Lan Qiao to be able to infer so many situations behind her from her few words.

Lan Qiao paused and continued: "They attacked the city, robbed property, and robbed the people. In such an environment, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to survive."

Li Jingshu sighed: "But according to the current situation, we have to wait until the emperor and King Yan decide the winner on the battlefield. Only then can the victory be free to deal with the big problem of Japanese pirates."

"I can't wait that long." Lan Qiao said flatly, "I will go to Zhejiang right now."

Both women were startled by him and wondered why he suddenly made this decision. Li Jingshu advised: "Even if you care about the people, you can't handle these tens of thousands of Japanese pirates alone."

"Then I have to go." Lan Qiao's tone was extremely firm. Seeing that the two girls were just staring at him, he finally admitted, "Ling'er went there, I'm worried about her."

"What!" Li Jingshu lost her voice, "You said Xiaoye went to Zhejiang?"

"It is Yueqing County where the Japanese pirates are causing the most serious trouble." Lan Qiao said dejectedly, "Although she is with Master Shen, the strength of the two of them is still as small as duckweed in front of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates in hundreds of ships. I

Even if we can’t repel the Japanese pirates, we must at least bring them back.”

"I'll go with you." Li Jingshu said without hesitation.

"I'll go by myself." Lan Qiao refused her, "That side is now the territory of the Japanese pirates, and there may be dangers at every step. It will be easier for me to move forward and retreat with one person and one sword."

Only then did Bai Xueyin come back to her senses from the shock, and helped Lan Qiao persuade her: "Yes, Sister Jingshu, you don't know martial arts, so you need my senior brother to take care of you. Alas, if I can still use the sword.
