Murder

The pool is not deep, just below the knees.But when a person suddenly enters the water like this, no matter how romantic and suave he is on land, he will always be in a mess.

Chi Yebai stood in the water, the undissipated chill of spring rushed up from the soles of his feet, making him a little cold and a little awake.Just as he was about to speak, Sima Feng also jumped in with a clatter.

"..." Chi Yebai was puzzled, "What are you doing here?"

"Are you okay?" Sima Feng's face turned pale, "I'm sorry."

"I'm fine." Knowing that he is afraid of water, Chi Yebai told him to go ashore first, "Go up."

"But I'm very happy." Sima Feng said suddenly.

Chi Yebai: "..."

He had a headache and was a little nervous, his eyes drooped, looking at the fallen flowers floating on the water.The falling flowers followed the ripples and swirled around the edges of their drenched underwear.Sima Feng pulled his hand, Chi Yebai struggled, but gave up when he didn't break away.He felt that Sima Feng's hand was very cold, and he was trembling slightly.

Sima Feng jumped in the water a few times when he was young, and almost died, so not only himself, but also his family and Chi Yebai knew that he was terribly afraid of water.When Chi Yebai saw him stepping in, the trace of resentment in his heart disappeared, and he felt soft.Seeing that he didn't move, Sima Feng quickly grabbed his hand and kissed him.

Chi Yebai: "..."

Sima Feng: "Xiaobai, I'm serious."

Chi Yebai clenched a fist in his hand, trying not to hit him.

Sima Feng: "I've been telling you for so many years, but you still don't believe me."

Chi Yebai shook his head, pretending he didn't understand. "It's a joke, everyone, don't take it seriously." He slowly withdrew his hand, "You have to remember who you are, and I have to remember who I am."

He lifted his legs up to the shore, leaving Sima Feng standing alone in the pool, and walked up slowly after a while.

Chi Yebai walked back to the room along the corridor.While drying his clothes with his internal strength, he remembered what happened when he investigated the kapok people in Qing'an City.

Qing'an City is a large port on the Yulan River, very prosperous.Across the river from Qing'an City is the Xinjiabao, which has been in rapid decline because the owner of the castle became a monk and died.

The martial arts conference held that year lasted for three days and three nights.The land in Xinjiabao is too valuable, and the people in the rivers and lakes are noisy and arguing endlessly.Everyone is coveting the land of Xinjiabao, throwing out all kinds of favors one after another, trying to win it for themselves.Lin Shaoyi, the leader of the martial arts alliance, kept silent all the time, and only got up to say something at a few critical moments, bringing the focus of the controversy back to the grievances between Shaoyi League and Xin Jiabao.Lin Shaoyi's Shaoyi League is also on the bank of the Yulan River. Because of the old grievances with Xinjiabao, he was retaliated by the owner of Xinjiabao, and finally burned the Shaoyi League.In the fire of the Shaoyi League, Lin Shaoyi lost his sister and a lot of manpower, the Shaoyi League was severely damaged, and countless martial arts figures who went to help were killed or injured.Lin Shaoyi is the most powerful and reasonable contender for the Xinjiabao plot.

Now the owner of the castle is dead, and his wife hanged herself, but she left behind a child—but the ignorant boy is now also in the Shaoyi League, and is taken care of by the Shaoyi League.At the end of the martial arts meeting, Feng Leizi from Wudang and Abbot Xinghai from Shaolin made a final decision: Let it be given to Shaoyi League. So many people have died, and now there is nothing to compensate, let him take it.

After the Shaoyi League took down the Xinjiabao, it immediately started to renovate.Lin Shao intended to transform it into a port opposite to Qing'an City, and named it "Yong'an Port".

Qing'an was originally a big port on the Yulan River. When fighting for the land of Xinjiabao, the imperial court also used the forces of several gangs in the rivers and lakes to intervene. It just wanted to take Xinjiabao and use it together with the port of Qing'an City. It was transformed into a giant port that runs through both sides of the river.Now that Xinjiabao and the Shaoyi League have won, what Lin Shaoyi did is similar to what the court thought.

At that time, Sima Feng and Chi Yebai had just resolved the kapok man incident, and when they heard that the leader Lin Shaoyi was at the construction site of Yong'an Port, they went to visit him.

The three of them were about the same age, Sima Feng and Chi Yebai both made great efforts during the fire of the Shaoyi League and in the subsequent investigations, Lin Shaoyi regarded them as close friends and warmly received them.

But there was really nothing good on the construction site, so Lin Shaoyi took out the sweet-scented osmanthus wine he had brought.

Shaoyimeng's sweet-scented osmanthus wine is well-known in the world, Lin Shaoyi and Chi Yebai both like it.I liked the wine and happened to be in a good mood, so I drank a few more glasses.

On the way back, Chi Yebai didn't know why he went crazy. When the two were walking across the bridge, he suddenly pulled Sima Feng and kissed him.

Sima Feng was taken aback by him, and after being frozen for a while, he immediately embraced Chi Yebai's waist, deepening that disorderly kiss inch by inch.

Chi Yebai tasted the mellow sweet-scented osmanthus aroma in Sima Feng's mouth while his lips and tongue were tossing and turning.Or there are other things that he didn't think clearly—he was also confused at the time, and only tried his best to absorb a little bit.Sima Feng was already gentle enough, but he seemed impatient.In the end the kiss was so hard that he bit the corner of Sima Feng's lips, and the blood dripped out.

Chi Yebai woke up as soon as he tasted the smell of blood, and quickly pushed Sima Feng away.Although Sima Feng was bitten, he still smiled and wanted to hold his hand.

Chi Yebai was so embarrassed that he was sober, wishing he could jump off the bridge into the Yulan River immediately.Maybe it was because his expression was too scary, Sima Feng gradually suppressed his smile, looking at him embarrassed and helpless.He couldn't say a word, what happened at that moment was too terrible.

"I'm sorry, I was reckless. Hit me." Sima Feng knew that he was embarrassed and embarrassed, and finally bowed his head and apologized to him with a smile.

Chi Yebai felt a headache whenever he thought about what happened at that time.He stood at the corner of the corridor and took a deep breath. A large cluster of winter jasmines passed over the wooden fence, and the sound of birds rang on the crabapple tree.Sima Feng came out of the pool, stood by the pool and looked at him from afar, with a dull and pitiful expression on his face.

The two have known each other for a long time, longer than anyone else in the world except each other's parents.Chi Yebai was a little younger than Sima Feng, when his mother gave birth to him, Sima Liangren and Fu Guqing happened to be carrying Sima Feng to visit Yingbeishe.Chi Yebai is a pre-term child who was very weak when he was born and suffered from many diseases since he was a child.Fu Guqing said that a boy can strengthen his body by practicing martial arts, so he often asked his parents to bring him to the house to learn martial arts with Sima Feng.His first friend was Sima Feng, the first time he flew a kite was with Sima Feng, and the first time he went into the sea was with Sima Feng, and even the first time he experienced the horror of death in his life was also from Sima Feng.

That day the two went to the sea to play, Sima Feng was not good at swimming, but he wanted to follow him into the deep dive, and almost failed to get up.

It has been more than ten years, and the sense of fear at that time has become blurred, but whenever he thinks of "he will die", Chi Yebai's hands and feet become cold, and cold sweat breaks down.

That kiss was terrible to him, as if it had opened a gate, made him see through, and made him hate himself.

Sima Feng shook off the water on his body, jumped up the corridor in two steps, and walked towards him.

"Let's go." Sima Feng said, "Shuanghua and the others know that you are thin-skinned, so they just listen to music and watch dances in Qinshuang Courtyard, nothing else."

While he was talking, he still couldn't help but push back the hair on Chi Ye's white shoulders.

"I'll go back to Yingbeishe tomorrow." Chi Yebai whispered, "tonight."

In order to receive Sima Feng and Chi Yebai, Shuanghua rejected many guests at night.She also pooled money with a few girls, and bought herself an evening with her mother.It was said that it was a banquet, but it was just a table of dishes set up in Shuanghua's house, and they had a lively meal.

If it is to receive Sima Feng, it will not be so simple, but there is also Chi Yebai.They don't know what kind of music Chi Yebai likes, what kind of banquet they like, so the simpler the better.

"Shuanghua's glutinous rice balls are very delicious, but she likes to make fried tofu the most." Minzhu happily served the dish, and then happily introduced to the two, "these green onions sprinkled on the tofu I picked them. I planted some in the yard of Xiangzhulou."

Chi Yebai smiled and asked, "Can you still grow these?"

"Plant in such a small place, my mother doesn't know." Minzhu laughed, "The turtle slave knows about it, but he doesn't mention me. It's only a small corner. This onion grows very well and is very fragrant. Shuang Hua must sprinkle some after frying the tofu."

The tofu is golden, topped with green onions and round scallions, it looks very delicious.

"Where are Shuanghua and the others?" Chi Yebai asked, "Sit down, you don't have to be so formal. Now you are the host, and Sima and I are the guests. Guests can do as they please."

"Xuefu is steaming dumplings." Minzhu said, "She makes very good dumplings, and tonight is made with chicken stuffing, which is her specialty."

Chi Yebai couldn't help but become curious: "You all like to cook?"

"I usually have nothing to do, so I cook. I feel happier when I eat home-cooked food." Minzhu smiled, then pointed to the door and whispered, "Xuefu is the top brand of Fangfeiji, Shuanghua is Qinshuangyuan Usually you only know that they play the piano and sing, but they are also very interesting people."

"I know." Sima Feng nodded with a smile while drinking.He didn't let Chi Ye drink for nothing, but poured him tea.

Chi Yebai lowered his head slightly, listening to Minzhu's chatter.Minzhu has a not too strong fragrance, and her makeup is not too heavy. The clothes and accessories she wear are very simple.Chi Yebai knew it was because he was the one in today's banquet.Each of these girls gave up the part of their real laughing career and appeared here in a different way.

Looking at the hot dishes on the table, Chi Yebai felt for the first time that these girls were the same as any other girl in the world.Like the same thing, passionate about the same thing, just because they are in different situations, they have different fates.

He was ashamed and looked up at Sima Feng.Sima Feng held the wine glass and talked to the two girls beside him, there was no hint of laughter or frivolity in his brows, as if the people around him were just ordinary girls in the world.The two girls were obviously familiar with Sima Feng, and they smiled without hesitation.

"Master Chi, do you drink?" Minzhu asked, "Shuanghua has sweet-scented osmanthus brew, which is delicious, and other guests can't drink it..."

Sima Feng immediately jumped out of the conversation on the other end and interrupted Minzhu: "He doesn't drink."

Chi Yebai: "...well, I don't drink."

Minzhu was a little disappointed, but soon asked about Chi Yebai's various rivers and lakes with great interest.

"Master Chi, you and Young Master Sima are very good. They are different from many people we have met." Minzhu said, "Especially Young Master Sima, he is the best and most righteous man Minzhu has ever met. He never messes around, he is very well-behaved, and he respects us very much. Many girls in Jinyanchi like him, and I like him too. He is the kind of hero mentioned in the scriptures, and he is upright and awe-inspiring."

Minzhu praised too much, Chi Yebai couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sima Feng looked at Minzhu pretending to be angry: "You, why do you always praise me to others, why don't you tell me directly."

Minzhu smiled mysteriously at Chi Ye and shook her head, as if she had swallowed her words.

Sima Feng coughed lightly, and greeted Minzhu: "Don't do this, please. Minzhu, the song in your hometown is so good, can you sing it to Young Master Chi?"

Chi Yebai: "Where is her hometown?"

Sima Feng: "You'll know when you sing."

Minzhu laughed for a while, looked at Chi Yebai, and mustered up the courage to sing with a blushing face.Her voice was tender and clear, and she sang those mountain ditties, which were quite lingering in line with the affection in them:

"The high platform stirs up the bright lamp,

The phoenix flew to be entangled.

Phoenix has gone away from home,

When the mountain flowers come in, it is full of joy.

The high platform lights up the lamp again,

My house is good for burning charcoal in snowy weather.

Mountain flowers don't leave my shore,

Elder Brother and Sister Warm Together

......"
