Xiao Lin.
Born in the forest, grew up in the forest, so named Xiao Lin.
In the eyes of his partner, Xiao Jin, this name was too good, at least ten thousand times better than the name "Xiao Jin".
The seven-day promise had passed, but Xiao Jin still hadn't appeared.
He knew that his friend had left for personal matters, but he didn't know exactly what he wanted to do. He didn't ask, nor did he want to ask. He didn't even know where the other party came from or why he had fallen to this state.
Perhaps this could not be called " falling." It was reasonable for two like-minded young people to work together in a meaningful career, but he did not know how long this career could last.
If Xiao couldn't enter, he might choose to leave and choose another job. But other than forging, what else could he do?
He did not know!
He was a little confused!
So he simply lay down and tried to sleep in the wooden house he had just repaired.
In the mountains, on the shore of the water, in a green forest far away from the city, a small wooden house was built.
When you're frustrated and extremely disappointed, bring a woman you like and she likes you to this wooden house and do something you like to do and she likes to do, or do nothing.
If you had such a wooden house, if you had such a woman, how good would that be?
Xiao Lin happened to be in such a wooden house. In the mountains, by the water, in a green forest far away from the city, Tian Chenchen was his woman.
The wooden house had four large windows and a small fireplace.
If it was summer, they would open the windows and let the wind from the mountains and the river blow into the windows. They would quietly breathe in the fragrance of the leaves from the mountains.
If it was winter, they would make a big fire in a small stove, heat a small iron pot, warm a pot of wine, fry a plate of dried fish, roast a few kebabs, and then drink and eat while quietly watching the flame flicker.
This was their world, a peaceful world.
This was also their secret, a secret that only belonged to the two of them!
However, this world was quickly broken. Why? Because of a dream!
When she woke up from her dream, everything had turned into nothingness.
The green forest was no longer the green forest in his dream, and the wooden house was no longer the wooden house in his dream!
They had originally lived in the ruins that had been abandoned for a long time and could shelter them from the wind and rain, but at this moment, they were leaning against the furnace that had no furnace temperature.
He didn't want to start a fire, didn't want to forge iron, or even do anything. He just wanted to lean quietly like this.
Because the woman was right beside him, sitting with her back to him. There was still a cold stove between them.
He suddenly wanted to destroy the furnace, but if he did so, he would no longer be able to make a living by forging iron, at least until he met Xiao Jin.
Therefore, he gave up and gradually entered the state of wandering thoughts.
However, he knew very clearly that the woman in front of him was definitely not the one in his dream. She was not now, and she might never be.
The woman did not caress him. Instead, she caressed the sword in her hand and asked indifferently.
"You're awake?"
"Why did I suddenly fall asleep?"
"I think for any mortal, forging iron is a tough job!”
"Yes, but I haven't forged for seven days!”
"Your partner is missing?"
"I don't believe it. I think he will come. It's just a matter of time!”
"The question is, how long are you willing to wait?”
"I don't know, but I'll wait!”
For some reason, Xiao Lin suddenly wanted to turn around and leave.
In fact, he did not do so. His feet seemed to be nailed and did not move at all. His expression and behavior did not seem to change at all.
The woman was right beside him, getting closer and closer.
He did not know what the woman wanted to do.
However, he could rule out the possibility that the woman would not harm him.
"Don't move!" The woman pinched with one hand as if she was picking up something from beside him." If you don't sleep in the house like this, you'll be easily attacked by wild beasts. Even a group of ants can eat you!"”
Tian Chenchen slowly opened her palm, and there was an ant in it.
Her intention was to capture an ordinary ant by Xiao Lin's feet.
"Man-eating Ants?" "Are there man-eating ants here?" Xiao Lin was startled.”
"What did you say?"
"I mean, only Man-eating Ants can eat people, but the one in your hand can't!”
"So you've seen man-eating ants?"
"I've seen it before! I saw it in my dream!"
"You have such a rich imagination. I'm sure you often dream!”
"Sometimes he talks in his sleep. I wonder if you heard him just now?”
The woman nodded silently.
"Is that so? What did I say?" Xiao Lin suddenly became nervous." I don't know if I mentioned anyone's name, or…"
"There is!" The woman smiled faintly." But no one will laugh at you. Since it's a dream, why take it seriously?”
The woman didn't care, but Xiao Lin became more and more nervous.""Then what else did I say?"
"No, you just called her sister a few times! He didn't say anything else!"
Xiao Lin suddenly fell into deep thought.
The woman continued to smile faintly." I think your sister must be very good to you. But you miss her so much because you haven't seen her for a long time, right?"”
"Yes! That's right! You guessed right!" Xiao Lin immediately heaved a sigh of relief." However, although she treats me well, I also want to treat her well. I also want to let her know that I'm going to treat her well! It's getting better and better!"
"I'm good, and she's good. Why do your words suddenly sound so strange?”
The woman was laughing, but Xiao Lin was nervous.
The woman did not pay much attention to Xiao Lin's every move because she had never forgotten the purpose of this trip.
"As far as I know, the demon emperor's primordial spirit has already been born!”At this point, the woman suddenly looked behind her warily." It shouldn't be wrong. It's in the southwest, which is the direction you're facing now!”
Demon Emperor Essence Soul? The birth of the primordial spirit? Wandering southwest?
It would be strange if a young man who had never walked out of the mountains could figure out all these things.
"You don't have to know that!" The woman smiled mysteriously. Her face, which had just turned slightly red, suddenly turned serious again." But what I want to tell you is that a strong, masculine, and righteous young man like you is most likely to be possessed by demons, especially when you live alone in this barren mountain."
Of course, Xiao Lin didn't believe it, so he laughed it off.
The woman reached out her hand, ready to take him away.
"Where to?"
"That place is far away from the mortal world. You might not know even if I tell you!”
"Of course I'm willing to go with you, but what can I do even if I go!”
"Actually, you don't have to do anything. You just have to go there and get through the dangerous period with them!”
"Who are they?"
"Just like you, they are young men who are very likely to be possessed by demons!”
"I wonder if there is a place to forge and if there is anyone willing to be my partner?”
"You're still thinking about forging at a time like this?”
After a moment of silence, Xiao Lin's expression darkened. He shook his head and said,""Thank you for your kindness. I don't think I'll leave with you. I plan to stay here and continue doing what I should do!”
Of course, the woman knew what he should do.
The woman remained standing there. She didn't try to persuade him, nor did she extend her hand to invite him. She just stood there and watched him sit there.
"If you're willing, why don't you become my partner and forge a sharp sword?”
"I knew you would say that!”The woman smiled and said," But I'm only responsible for using swords. I've never forged them, and I don't know how to forge them!”
"You don't know how to?"
Xiao Lin immediately recalled the Immortal Sword Divine Realm and the Sword Nurturing Pool that Di Sheng had mentioned. Almost all the swords in the hands of swordmasters came from the Sword Nurturing Pool and were not man-made.
Xiao Lin stopped asking. When he slowly walked into the wooden house hesitantly, he couldn't help but turn around to look.
The woman was smiling at him, as if she had always been there.
They were deep in the mountains. Although it was not the green forest in his dream, it could still be described as a fallen leaf forest far away from the hustle and bustle of the mountains.
However, this woman was undoubtedly the one in his dream, and she was much more real than in his dream.
The woman came and went, went and came again.
Nine days had already passed, but Xiao Jin still hadn't appeared.
When your friend breaks an important promise, you probably won't be able to laugh, at least not for a while.
Xiao Lin did not. He chose to believe his friend, a friend he had known for less than three months and did not know his background.
As for why he was smiling now, it was because she already had a new partner, someone who was also unknown and could be considered a friend. The difference was that she was a woman.
What kind of experience would it be to work with a woman in a smithy that almost no one knew about?
Little Lin didn't know, nor did he think about it.
Now, he had thought of it and experienced it, but he still did not know.
This feeling could not be described with words, because he felt that the woman in front of him seemed to have many stories. These stories had gradually become attractive at this moment, and they were pulling him more and more strongly, forcing him to understand them in the most urgent mood.
To his surprise, the woman answered almost every question she asked and no longer held back like before.
Perhaps, at this moment, the woman was thinking the same thing as him?
He couldn't be sure, but he didn't plan to confirm it now.
Perhaps it was because of the shadow play in the south of the city, or perhaps it was because of the influence of women, this young man had been thinking about a problem recently.
If he could have the art of flying over roofs and walls, wouldn't he also have peerless forging skills?
"I can tell that this must be the thing you want the most!”
The woman nodded with a smile.
"Almost, but I haven't finished speaking!”
"What else?"
Xiao Lin suddenly lowered his voice and spoke quickly," Wife."
"Is that so?" Tian Huanhuan smiled faintly." A handsome and masculine boy like you actually doesn't have a wife?”
"It's useless. Without money, everything else is useless!”
"Could it be that they only recognize money?"
"Perhaps there are a few exceptions. It's just that I haven't found it yet!”
"If that's the case, I suggest you don't look for it!”
"Why?"
"In the future, I'll introduce you to a young and beautiful girl who is skilled in swordsmanship and is gentle and considerate!”
"Thank you for your kindness! However..."
"But you don't look happy at all!”
"Because I don't like girls who are too young and beautiful. I even feel disgusted!”
"Is that so?"
"Yes!"
"If you don't like young and beautiful women, do you like old women?”
Xiao Lin did not say anything. He just looked at the woman in front of him with a special gaze.
The moment their eyes met, the woman was stunned and walked to the side uneasily.
Xiao Lin quickly turned to her, planning to take another look at the woman's face.
He noticed that the woman was slowly lowering her head, and her face had changed to another color that made him happy.
