The wind whistled in my ears, and it was clear that it was late spring, but it seemed to be freezing, and it was biting and biting.
Lin Xiner was led by Ximen Jingxuan, sometimes turning around, sometimes swinging her sword, and started fighting with the assassin who suddenly arrived.
After just a moment, the wind dissipated and the surroundings became quiet. Lin Xiner smelled the pungent smell of blood. She knew that this was no ordinary killing move. It was so fierce that it shattered corpses into pieces. She could even imagine the murderous move all over the place.
The miserable corpse is unbearable to see.
Is this why Ximen Jingxuan asked himself to close his eyes?
He didn't want to let himself see his actions, the brutal killing, or he didn't want to let himself see the terrifying horror left behind by the flash of swords.
Ximen Jingxuan took Lin Xiner and jumped on the horse again, galloping far away before letting her go.
"Your Majesty," Lin Xiner shouted in a daze, rubbing her eyes that were not used to the light for a while, as if she didn't know what kind of danger they had just experienced.
It was indeed dangerous just now. She could tell through the wind that there were ten ruthless assassins besieging Ximen Jingxuan. Ximen Jingxuan not only had to face the enemy, but also protected her unharmed. As a result, it was those assassins who died.
Ximen Jingxuan took her away as if nothing happened.
Ximen Jingxuan's martial arts is powerful, and his attacks are even more ruthless than those of assassins. This is his style of killing gods and killing lives, which makes the enemy's armies frightened.
But there are always people who are not afraid of death who try to eliminate this character and pave the way for their ambitions.
Lin Xiner knows that this is not the first batch, nor will it be the last batch. If you sit in that position, you have to bear the risk of that position.
Lin Xiner felt some sympathy for Ximen Jingxuan. This reminded her of a young man she met in northern Xinjiang when she was a child. He was hunted down by the enemy and was covered with bruises.
The young man was dying and his face was covered with blood. She didn't even see his true face, but he couldn't hide his natural aristocratic aura in such a mess. He must have an unusual life experience. And maybe he was because of that.
It is only when the family changes that they are brutally attacked. On the surface, some people may seem to be living a superior and glorious life, but who can understand the unknown hardships? Who would have thought that great changes will come unexpectedly. When in danger, it is better to be alone.
Ordinary people living a small life.
And just now, Ximen Jingxuan protected her, even covering her eyes to prevent her from seeing the brutal killing, which made Lin Xiner unconsciously connected to the young man back then.
Eight years ago, before Lin Xin'er was injured after falling off a cliff, she and Lin Ke'er were playing on a hillside in northern Xinjiang. They were playing hide and seek, but Lin Ke'er lured the blindfolded Lin Xin'er to the slope and ran away secretly.
Lin Xin'er knew it well and wanted to leave Lin Ke'er alone and be alone. However, it suddenly rained heavily and Lin Xin'er hurriedly ran to a cave to take shelter.
As a result, they met the scarred young man. The cave was very shallow. When the young man saw that she was carefully hiding at the entrance of the cave, with the rain splashing all over her body, he struggled to move himself out and dragged her into the cave, regardless of his scars.
If you get caught in the rain, stay at the entrance of the cave.
That was the first time Lin Xiner felt protected by someone other than her mother. After so many years, the scene of that day is still vivid in her mind.
She silently took out the blindfold used for hide-and-seek, and carefully wrapped the boy's arm that was bleeding the most, then tore off her clothes from the parts of her body that were not wet by the rain, and wrapped the boy's other wounds.
At such a young age, her bandaging skills were poor, but she tried her best to save people. After returning home, Liu Suixiang was punished by Liu Suixiang for a day of hunger strike because her clothes were torn.
After the thunderstorm, it cleared up soon.
The young man had fallen into a coma. Lin Xiner was afraid that his enemies would come to find him, so she went to a nearby farmer's field and stole a straw man. She took it to the mountain with difficulty, used the knife she took from the young man to untie the rope and scattered it.
He opened it and spread it all over the young man. One straw man was not enough, so he ran again.
As soon as the young man was covered, several people came running towards the cave on horseback, looking fierce at first sight.
Lin Xiner sat down on the haystack and waited calmly for those approaching.
"Little girl, have you seen an injured boy?" Scarface, the leader, shouted.
Lin Xiner shook her head and huddled on the haystack with her arms around her shoulders, seeming a little scared, "He just took shelter here from the rain and left after the weather cleared."
"Where are you going?" Scarface asked again.
Lin Xiner pointed in a direction carefully, not daring to say a word.
Scarface looked at Lin Xiner who was shivering. She was a careless little girl who probably didn't have the guts to lie, so he led his men to chase in the direction Lin Xiner pointed.
Lin Xiner let out a long breath and stood up quickly. She saw that the young man was still covered tightly with weeds. Although she was not sure whether this could save him, it was the best she could do.
Liu Suixiang had always warned her not to cause trouble, and she could not ask for help from people in the Lin family, lest she cause trouble to the Lin family and become a sinner again. She would bear any danger alone.
Lin Xiner decided to go up the mountain to pick some wild fruits for the boy to eat, but she didn't expect that when she came back, the weeds were turned up and the boy was gone.
Lin Xiner didn't know whether he woke up and left on his own or was taken away by someone. After looking around, he couldn't find anyone, so she had to go back to Lin's house. The knife taken off from him fell on the weeds.
inside, she also picked it up and hid it.
Being in the Lin Mansion and having seen the weapons in Lin Bo's hands, Lin Xiner knew that the knife was of good quality and not a common item. She might keep it for her own use.
After that, the incident became a memory, remaining only in her mind.
Now, Ximen Jingxuan's actions brought back her memories, and she felt the feeling of being protected for the first time.
Although there is no friendship, it is just a simple gesture, but it can impress people's hearts.
This kind of protection is different from when he met Huangfu Yanchong later, who always helped him, took care of himself, and protected himself. From the first moment he met Huangfu Yanchong, Huangfu Yanchong was ordered by his master to treat her as his own sister.
Guardian, she was also very happy to have big brother Huangfu by her side.
This is also different from Yan'er's protection of her. Yan'er is just a little girl who knows how to be grateful, abides by her mother's death, and protects her master loyally.
As for Ximen Jingxuan and that young man, one of them is a person who is forced to be together by himself, and there are many barriers. The other is a chance meeting. After just one glance, they may not see each other again in this life.
In this way, it is destined that there will be no close friends who can help each other, which is the easiest way to make people's hearts flutter.
In fact, Ximen Jingxuan's heart is not as indifferent as he showed, just like the vague look he showed towards Lin Ke'er, as if he would protect her who has "never seen the world" and not let her be frightened by the tragic scene.
