An Yesun said, "You don't understand. Experts would naturally feel reverence and awe towards divine weapons, and they would also be greedy and desire to take them for themselves. For the sake of obtaining the ancient treasured sword, he was willing to disown his own family and sacrifice his former lover for his ambition … "
He was talking about how Jiang Liechen killed Chu Menglin. Nangong Xue only understood half of it. She recalled that in ancient times, swordsmiths sacrificed their wives and children in order to forge a peerless sword. Although this was extremely cruel, she didn't understand why An Yesun was so angry. He didn't seem like someone who would stand up for the innocent.
But seeing his serious expression and bloodshot eyes, she didn't dare to joke around. She said, "That's really scary. Fortunately, this sword didn't fall into the hands of an ambitious person. I'll take good care of it. But the premise is that it's really a sharp sword that can cut through iron like mud. Then it won't be too tiring to use it to chop down trees. " She swung the long sword, held the hilt with both hands, and swung it half a circle around her body. Then, she slashed down at the center of the tree trunk. She didn't have enough internal energy, so she only managed to make a small cut on the tree trunk. She didn't manage to cut it in half.
Nangong Xue frowned as she looked at the tree trunk. She raised her hand and touched the cut, muttering to herself, "I made a mistake this time. It's okay, I'll try again." She continued to swing the sword in the same position as before. An Yesun mumbled, "This time, I really regret giving it to you …" His voice was very soft and was quickly drowned out by the sound of the tree being chopped and Nangong Xue's panting and cheering.
She didn't know how long she had been chopping, but the tree fell down with a "boom". He faintly heard Nangong Xue shout, "Be careful!" An Yesun moved slightly to avoid it. He felt disdain and thought to himself, "You underestimate me too much. Even if it was a black bear or a cheetah, I wouldn't hurt it. What's this stupid tree to me?" After all, she was thinking for him, so he didn't want to hurt her. He casually found an excuse, "Li Yijie is weak and useless. This girl has been with him for a long time, so she's developed a habit of reminding him of everything."
Nangong Xue rolled up her sleeves and stepped on the bottom of the fallen tree trunk. She swung her sword again and again, trying to chop the tree trunk into thin wood. Her posture and expression were very much like a woodcutter who sweated all day long and chopped wood for a living. An Yesun couldn't help but smile faintly. Before she noticed, he put on his cold face again.
After working for a long time, Nangong Xue finally saw some results. She piled the firewood into a pile and said to An Yesun, "The fire will take some time to regenerate. Let's go catch some fish first. It's getting late, maybe they'll go to sleep too. "Dark Night Yun sneered." Is this the usual hypocrisy of you righteous sects? You want to catch it and roast it to eat. Previously, you wanted to ask if you would disturb its rest? "
Nangong Xue said unhappily, "You're at it again. I told you to get rid of your narrow-minded sectarian views, but you're not changing your ways. I'm worried that all the fish in the lake are asleep. I don't know where they're hiding behind, but it's hard to catch them. "
An Yesun said, "I heard that fish sleep with their eyes open. From the outside, they don't seem to be moving at all." Nangong Xue nodded. She rolled up her trousers and stepped into the lake. An Yesun suddenly said, "Wait." He handed a sharpened branch to Nangong Xue and said, "Use this." Nangong Xue looked at the branch silently. She reached out and took it, then raised her head with a faint smile. An Yesun looked slightly embarrassed, "What are you looking at? I'm just worried about that sword. So what? "
Nangong Xue tried not to laugh. She put the Dragon's Cry of the Cangquan back into its scabbard and said, "So you also have something you care about." She suddenly remembered that her words were full of sarcasm. She was afraid that he would be unhappy if he heard her, so she quickly pulled him over and said, "Come here quickly. This is my first time catching fish, so I definitely don't have any experience. Help me take a look. If there's anything wrong, correct me immediately." An Yesun said unhappily, "If this is your first time catching fish, do you think I grew up catching fish?"
Nangong Xue heard that he had learned how to joke. Although she was the one who taught him, she was still not used to his coldness in the past. She smiled and said, "You're so smart that you can learn any difficult problem in one go. How could you be stumped by two fish?" An Yesun pulled his sleeve, trying to pull it away from her hand, saying, "Don't hold me … I've only killed people. You're asking me how to kill fish? Hey … let go! "
Nangong Xue was amused. She thought that he was acting like a child who was throwing a tantrum. She pretended not to hear him and pulled him all the way to the center of the pond. Fish swam past them, swaying their heads and wagging their tails. They were so close that they seemed to be within reach.
An Yesun waited impatiently. He crossed his arms and said mockingly, "Hey, I say, did you know them eight hundred years ago? Call them! " Nangong Xue looked at him with a bit of complaint and said, "This is someone's ancestor. If I want to catch it, I have to do it for the sake of its descendant. I wish it happiness after it ascends to heaven." Dark Night Yun's face was full of confusion. He said, "Someone? What 'some people'? "
He asked. Nangong Xue thought, "It's worth it to bicker with a shallow person. He's obviously being played by you, but he doesn't know anything. Maybe with a little guidance, he'll be able to respond according to your wishes. That would be very interesting. "She held back her laughter and waved her hand." It's nothing. Today, I'll show you the power of Heroine Nangong! "She raised the branch high and stabbed it into the head of a fish that was swimming in front of her. The fish seemed to be very intelligent. It moved agilely to the side, avoiding the branches, and swam to the tip of her feet where she was standing.
Nangong Xue swung the branch and chased after the fish, stabbing at the bottom of her feet. Her calves hurt a few times, and the last stab was even harder and fiercer. She felt a hot and sticky liquid flowing down her calves. She didn't know if it was blood. Seeing that the fish wanted to escape, she subconsciously stood on her tiptoes and stabbed at the fish's stomach. The fish stopped and shrank, then dodged again. At the same time, it brushed against her heel. Nangong Xue slipped and almost lost her balance. She waved her arms in front of her body a few times to stabilize her center of gravity. She carefully released her breath.
An Yesun gloated as he stared at her. He seemed to regard her being toyed with by the fish as a joke. "Idiot."
Nangong Xue rolled her eyes and said, "You're not allowed to scold me! Look at how easy it is for someone to carry a load. If you have the ability, come and try it yourself. " An Yesun's expression looked as if he had been punched in the face. "Are you kidding me? I'm not going to do that kind of lowly thing. If you want to eat fish, why don't you go to a restaurant? "
Nangong Xue said, "They're both fish, but they have different meanings. If I can catch one in this lake, then it's a great success! When you eat the fish you roast, the taste will be especially sweet because it's the result of your own hard work. The fish in the restaurant is just a tool used by small merchants to make money. They don't care about the taste. They only care about the added seasonings and whether or not they can make more money. This is also a change in the nature of fish. After a long time, it naturally can't compare to the same species that were born in the wild. "
An Yesun laughed coldly and said, "What great thinkers say about taking what they need based on their own hard work? What's the difference? Why do you have to be so stubborn and cause yourself to be unable to live a peaceful life? " Nangong Xue said softly, "Everyone has their own stubborn beliefs. It's just that they rely on different people. That's the belief that they hold fast to. It's within their principles, and they don't allow others to easily shake them. Take you for example. Before you do anything, don't you have to find a reason that's worthy of your acceptance? "
An Yesun's eyes darkened. "Do you also think that I'm stupid?" Nangong Xue said, "I didn't say that. For someone like you, even if the end result is the same, at least you understand why you're doing it. You're not doing it blindly without a purpose. You're much smarter than many people who waste half of their lives. "An Yesun nodded helplessly and said with a bitter smile," Fine, I'll admit defeat. "
Nangong Xue smiled and was about to reply when she saw a small greenish-yellow fish swimming past her. She quickly reached out for the branch, but accidentally stepped on the soft mud and her body suddenly fell backward. She struggled to jump forward and ran a few steps forward with the current. She used the branch to support herself against a protruding rock. An Yesun stood to the side and didn't say anything about helping her. He laughed and said, "Heroine, you're really something."
Nangong Xue glared at him and said, "What's wrong? Just wait and see … "An Yesun asked curiously," That saying … can be used like that? "Nangong Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said," Of course, who said it can't be used? "An Yesun had a strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to laugh but was trying hard not to. He only said," Good … I admire you. "
Nangong Xue waved the branch a few times, but she either stabbed it into the mud or hit the rocks. The fish swam past her proudly, as if they knew that Nangong Xue was an amateur fisherman. They were not afraid at all. Instead, they waved their heads and tails in front of Nangong Xue, splashing water on Nangong Xue's face and body, making her wet. The fish were not in a hurry to escape and continued to swim around her, as if mocking her incompetence.
An Yesun couldn't stand it anymore and said helplessly, "Damn it, you're too stupid." He reached out and grabbed the branch and stabbed it down. The fish that were still alive and kicking were immediately pierced through. Nangong Xue was surprised and happy. She cheered, "Good …"
Before it could even utter the word "impressive", Dark Night Death had already pulled the branch out of its body and skewered it with another fish. He said coldly, "Do you admire me now?"
Nangong Xue laughed and said, "Of course I admire you. When have I ever not admired you? Let's discuss this. Since you're so good at it, why don't I officially hand over this task to you … "
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly blushed and lowered her head shyly. An Yesun followed her gaze and felt a warm touch on his hand. It turned out that when he was fiddling with the branch on impulse, the back of his hand accidentally touched the back of hers. At that time, although the men and women of the jianghu were not as timid as the other girls from humble families and didn't pay much attention to this kind of etiquette, there was still a saying that "men and women should keep their distance". Moreover, An Yesun had always been restrained by men and women. At this moment, he was even more embarrassed. He hurriedly pulled his hand back and unconsciously rolled up his sleeve to wipe it.
Nangong Xue tightly held the branch with the two fish on it. If both of them had let go at the same time, these two fish would have flown out of their hands. With her intelligence, she naturally wanted to know why An Yesun reacted that way. However, he was even more embarrassed than a girl like her. How could she save her face? She hurriedly ran out of the lake, threw the branch on the grass, and ran back. To cover her embarrassment, she deliberately changed the topic and said, "Speaking of which, you're really good! You caught them so easily. You're really like … like … hehe … a professional fisherman. "
An Yesun frowned and said, "Then what are you, a professional woodcutter?" Nangong Xue recalled the scene of her "bold and decisive" chopping down the tree and laughed out loud. She said, "Don't you think that this kind of life is quite enjoyable? If possible, I'd rather be a pair of ordinary woodcutters in the mountains with Shixiong. The man plows and the woman weaves. It's better than being a famous swordsman in the jianghu who risks his life at any time. "
An Yesun said, "You know that's impossible …" Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a chill on his face. Nangong Xue had bent over and scooped up a handful of lake water and splashed it at him. An Yesun was so close to her that he was caught off guard. He was immediately enraged and said, "What are you doing? You're asking for death! "
