In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Rong was almost slighted by Ouyang Ke on a desert island, but when I first read that plot, the author was not too nervous, because the reason why the protagonist is the protagonist is precisely because they have the "protagonist halo", no matter what kind of danger they are in, they can always turn evil into good fortune, and the consequences are unacceptable, Hong Qigong stopped Ouyang Ke.
And in "The Condor Heroes", a similar plot was staged again, when Ouyang Feng fixed the little dragon girl, Yin Zhiping (later renamed "Zhen Zhibing", later referred to as Zhen Zhibing) quietly approached her, and then ruined her innocence.
Why did Jin Yong give Xiaolongnu such a tragic fate, but compared to the incident itself, Xiaolongnu's attitude afterwards made people wonder even more, why did she try her best to protect Zhen Zhibing's life?
1. The origin of the tragedy
Although the ending of "The Condor Heroes" is relatively satisfying, the reader knows in his heart, it is only a superficial consummation, the Xiangyang guarded by Guo Jing and his wife is ultimately destined to be lost, and their ending must be a martyrdom, putting aside their stories, the story of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu has long had nothing to do with the word "consummation", even if they eventually have lovers and eventually become dependents, but the "Zhen Zhibing incident" has already become a thorn in the reader's heart that cannot be removed.

At that time, Xiaolongnu couldn't move, so she could only be at the mercy of Zhen Zhibing, and what was even more distressing was that Xiaolongnu actually mistook the other party for Yang Guo, and then behaved extremely actively.
The book only said: "Her heart fluttered, the fear gradually disappeared, and her lust was secretly born, thinking that Yang Guo, this child, came to play me." I felt that his hands were becoming more and more unruly, and he slowly untied his wide clothes, and the little dragon girl couldn't move, so she had to let it do what she wanted, and she couldn't help but be surprised and shy, but she felt that Yang Guo was in love with her relatives, and she only hoped that the two would become one, and she couldn't help but be in a fluttering spirit, and she was physically and mentally drunk. ”
It is precisely because of this that when Yang Guo rushed back, Xiaolongnu would behave very delicately, her attitude towards Yang Guo was not as strict as before, her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, and she only hoped to marry Yang Guo.
But Yang Guo, who didn't know the truth, was naturally confused, so his sentence "I never thought of marrying Xiaolongnu as a wife" stung Xiaolongnu, and then Xiaolongnu ran away in a bad mood, and then there were all kinds of tragedies in the follow-up.

It can be said that the "Zhen Zhibing incident" is the root of all the tragedies experienced by Long Yang and the others, when Xiaolongnu knew the truth, she should have killed that person, but why didn't she do it?
Second, the little dragon girl who should not be let go
If Zhen Zhibing took the initiative to admit his mistake, he might still be forgiven, but if he hadn't casually talked about that tragic night with Zhao Zhijing during their quarrel, Xiaolongnu might have been kept in the dark for the rest of her life.
Of course, the matter has come to this point, grief is meaningless, what the reader wants to see is the revenge of the little dragon girl, not to mention whether killing this person can relieve the hatred in her heart, at least she has to avenge this revenge.
After all, isn't the core attraction of martial arts stories "happy enmity"? Xiaolongnu should have killed Zhen Zhibing, but she never started.
Even when Yang Guo rushed to Chongyang Palace to reunite with her, she also told Zhen Zhibing's crime in front of Yang Guo, but she still didn't kill that person, but persuaded Yang Guo not to care about this matter anymore.

Here's what she said: "Later, I gave Ouyang Feng the middle acupoint that day, and I couldn't move, my innocence was tarnished by this person, even if I recovered from my injuries, I couldn't marry you." But he ...... But he gave his life to save me, and you should not be difficult for him anymore. In short, it's my life. ”
There were hundreds of Mongols and Quanzhen Sect descendants present, and she not only lost face for herself, but also made Yang Guo lose face, so what kind of reaction should Yang Guo make? Is it anger or sadness?
Yang Guo could only leave silently with her and didn't say anything, but this silence also showed that Yang Guo's heart was extremely sad, there were too many silent roars in his heart, and what man could accept that his woman was bullied by others? But Yang Guo could only respect Xiaolongnu's choice.
But it's still the same sentence, why?
In fact, the role of Zhen Zhibing is really hateful, but the most hateful thing about this character is that he is not a pure villain, and his character itself is "not hateful enough", but it has become his hateful point.
To put it bluntly, if this Zhen Zhibing is a downright villain, maybe Jin Yong can let go of his hands and feet, and finally give him death, but he has always been a righteous person, and in the face of the coercion and temptation of the Mongols, he has always been unmoved and sticks to his bottom line, which gives him a few more reasons to "deserve to be forgiven".

But why did Xiaolongnu forgive him because he was a righteous person? What is the matter with Xiaolongnu? In her, Zhen Zhibing is a damned sinner.
So Xiaolongnu didn't kill her, there were other reasons, and Jin Yong had already used the dialogue between Huang Rong and Guo Jing to say the answer.
Third, Huang Rong broke her mind
Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who were still young boys and girls back then, were also extremely simple, and they were even so simple that they didn't even understand such things as having children.
For example, this conversation is very intuitive: "(Huang Rong) turned around and asked: 'Brother Jing, do you know how to have a child?' Guo Jing said: 'I know. Huang Rong said: "Tell me about it." Guo Jing said: "If people become husband and wife, then have children." Huang Rong said: "I also know this." Why do you have children when you get married?" Guo Jing said: "Then I don't know, Rong'er, you tell me." Huang Rong said: "I can't say it either." I asked my dad and he said the baby came out of the armpit. ’”
You see, Huang Rong and Guo Jing are still taught by their fathers or mothers, and Xiaolongnu has been an orphan since she was a child, growing up in a dark ancient tomb, and Grandma Sun has never mentioned men and women to her, how can she know what this means?

Even if the Tomb Sect has the practice of lighting the palace sand for the heirs, Xiaolongnu may not understand what it means to "lose the palace sand guard" or "lose her innocence", for her, except for being with Yang Guo, there seems to be nothing in this world that is "must be done".
Therefore, it is normal for her to let Zhen Zhibing go, but it is just because her nature is pure to the extreme.
