Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

Fortunately, the master didn't delve into Dongqing's thoughts, but just sighed: "Oh, to tell you the truth, I was thinking about the daytime things."

Lu Dongqing's complexion also sank: "Are you thinking about the trouble Yan Er caused?"

"That's right," Lu Zhengqiu nodded, "We are lucky to have saved him this time, but he caused quite a lot of trouble."

Dongqing said solemnly: "I believe he's not lying, he's not bad-tempered, he was very sensible in the past, and Master knows it well, I don't believe he would steal."

Ni Yan is a frequent visitor to the medical clinic. His biological father has been suffering from tuberculosis for a long time. According to his impression, he has often come to the pharmacy to get medicine since a few years ago.

In the winter of the previous year, Mr. Ni passed away after a long illness, and the number of times Ni Yan came to the clinic gradually decreased. Lu Dongqing only occasionally heard rumors that the situation of the Ni family was getting worse. .In his memory, this young man always came and went lightly like a swallow, never expressing his suffering.

Lu Dongqing and his master went deep into the simple house, spending all their time on medical books and practicing martial arts, and rarely socialized with others. Ni Yan was one of his few friends. After today's incident, he also faintly regretted it. He was silent for a while and looked up. Said: "Tomorrow I will visit his house and change his medicine by the way."

Lu Zhengqiu nodded, and said again: "I have heard some rumors about his family."

"What kind of rumor?"

"I know that Mrs. Ni held a new wedding last year and married Saburo of the Jing family. I heard that Saburo Jing and her were old acquaintances when they were young, and they grew up together."

Lu Dongqing raised her eyebrows and said, "If I'm an old acquaintance, I'm sure I'll treat her well, isn't it a good thing?"

Lu Zhengqiu said: "That was the case at the beginning, but later this person got involved in gambling somehow, and since then he has been in the gambling house and gradually neglected family affairs. In just half a year, he almost lost his family fortune. Madam Ni's situation is also a bit strange , often wandering in the mountains, in the end, all the servants in the family ran away, and even the daughter brought by Jing Sanlang was left unattended."

"Daughter? I see, it must be Yue'er that Ni Yan mentioned."

Lu Zhengqiu nodded: "I went to buy rice a few days ago, and I heard the shopkeeper in the rice shop comment that Ni's family is no longer what it used to be. It used to be one of the most respectable households in the village, but now they even start paying on credit for daily necessities, rice, oil, and salt."

Thinking of the money in Ni Yan's pocket, Lu Dongqing frowned even deeper: "If he went to the town to steal in order to help his family, it would be justifiable. What's abominable is that those yamen agents, who just arrest people, use Lynching, insulting him like this..."

He sighed, as if his friend's pain had become his own.

Lu Zhengqiu looked at him and asked, "Do you think my strike is too light?"

Lu Dongqing pursed her lips tightly and did not answer, but his expression revealed his thoughts.After all, he is only 19 years old, which is really not an age where he can hide his thoughts.

Not only does he want to teach the other party a lesson, he even wants to chase after him, beat up the bad guys who bully his friends, eliminate evil and promote good, originally this is what martial arts practitioners should do.

Lu Zhengqiu sighed, and said slowly: "Oh, why don't I want to teach them a lesson, but they are people from the government after all, if I hit hard, it will inevitably cause trouble."

Holly said: "I understand."

"Even if we are lucky enough to hide it from the government, one day, when we leave Sanping Village, they will only intensify their efforts to get it back from Yan'er. Wouldn't it be worse?"

"I see……"

Although he confessed on his mouth, his brows were still furrowed, and the five fingers hanging by his side were clenched into fists: "I obviously learned swordsmanship from Master in order to end this kind of world."

Lu Zhengqiu patted him on the back and comforted him: "Justice is not a temporary act, just keep your ambition in your heart, you don't have to talk to outsiders all the time."

"I see," Lu Dongqing nodded, and argued again, "but Master is not considered an outsider."

Lu Zhengqiu didn't expect him to say such a candid speech, he was slightly taken aback, and then patted him on the back of the head: "It seems that the candy just now was not wasted, stealing a piece will make your mouth sweeter."

Lu Dongqing didn't expect her master to have seen her stealing candy long ago. She froze for a moment, blushed on her face, her dark eyes flickered, and there was a look unique to young people in her eyes, just like after the rain At the beginning of the day, the sun shimmered on the water.

In order to make up for his guilty conscience, he simply cleared his throat and straightened his expression: "Master, I will recite the heart method again, please listen to me."

"Well, read it, I'm listening."

The young man lowered his head slightly, and recited the mental method he had just learned.

He quickly put the short-term embarrassment behind him, concentrated on recalling the recent practice, and put it into words.

Most of the inner strength formulas are obscure and difficult, much more difficult than sword kung fu, but he recites them in a precise and meticulous manner.

Lu Zhengqiu listened intently, only to feel that the voices around him were getting smaller and smaller. Not long after, his shoulders sank, and the heads of the people around him had already leaned towards him.

He turned his head and found that Holly had closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

"Stupid boy, you must be exhausted." He said silently in his heart.

Holly's chest heaved and fell, her black hair rubbed against his skirt, and a few strands got into his neck, making his skin itchy and his heart soften.

This apprentice practiced medicine during the day and practiced sword at night. Even though he was exhausted, his shoulders were still stretched stubbornly, unwilling to show weakness to others.Obviously living in a bleak and rough world, but he still wants to straighten his back straighter than others.

His heart is so stubborn, only when he falls asleep unintentionally, will he reveal a little childish nature, leaning on the shoulders of adults, longing for closeness.

Even in a dream, his brows are still frowning, as if in a moment of rest, it is difficult to let go of the sadness in his heart.

Lu Zhengqiu stared at him blankly, a feeling of astringency arose in his heart, he couldn't help raising a hand, put his thumb and forefinger on the tip of his eyebrows, and gently smoothed the creases near the center of the eyebrows.

Lu Dongqing murmured indistinctly in her sleep, subconsciously adjusted her posture, and put her hands around the waist of the person beside her so that she could lean more comfortably.

The young man's shoulders and backs have begun to take on the outline of an adult, and his body temperature is a little hotter than that of ordinary people. His skeleton is tall and straight, and his tight arms are wrapped around Master's body.

With such a weight, it was no longer the level that one arm could hold it back then. On the contrary, Lu Zhengqiu felt that he was the one being hugged. Not only could he not break free, he even had to exert extra effort to breathe.

But how could he bear to push this person away.

He has been by Dongqing's side for nine years, watching an ignorant child grow into the teenager he is today.

It's a pity that he could only smooth out the wrinkles between the young man's brows, but he couldn't untie the shackles in his heart.

After all, he is not Dongqing's close relative, but only a teacher in name.

Even if Holly grows gradually, it shows a different face every day.But the appearance of that ten-year-old boy when he lost his loved one was still engraved in his heart.

Some things are lost if they are lost, and there is no way to make up for them, let alone replace them.

Lu Zhengqiu raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked towards the sky.

The clouds rolled in the setting sun, changing from light to dark red, with golden light on the edges, like the raging flames in Anyi City that day.

The setting sun is peaceful, and the flames are fatal. They are so different, yet they look so similar.

The world is not benevolent, the calmest and cruelest things have the same face.

Perhaps in the eyes of the gods in the sky, there is no difference between all the joys and sorrows in the world.

The unbearable years of half his life were enough to make him give up guessing God's will. In just nine years, he just hoped that the peace in front of him would be longer, and the light sleep of the people around him would last as long as possible.

However, such a small wish was interrupted by a sharp knock on the door.

Before Lu Zhengqiu got up to greet him, the courtyard door was pushed open by the people outside.

The three yamen servants who had been beaten up by him a few hours ago poured into the courtyard one after another.
