Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The moment the curtain moved, a draft was blowing through Shen Xing Hall, and Yin Qiu's black hair and skirt fluttered in the wind. She stood there for a while, sighed a little discouraged, and then moved away. He walked towards Man Jiangxue at a steady pace.

The sky is bright today, although the windows are not open, but the light in the bedroom is very bright, reflecting Man Jiangxue's face very beautifully, Yin Qiu sat upright, not daring to look at her, Man Jiangxue didn't ask questions, but moved gently to her After cleaning the wound, apply the powder finely.

It has been a day and a night. During this period, there were too many things, and Yin Qiu had no time to think about other things. She sat quietly in this place for a while, and finally regained her senses. She recalled what Young Master Fan said in Fenglin. If so, the suppressed distracting thoughts in Yin Qiu's heart became chaotic again at this moment.

She raised her eyes cautiously, and saw Man Jiangxue's drooping brows and eyes were calm and soft, her expression was always indifferent. She held her with her cold fingertips, as if she was holding something precious, as if she would If you move lightly, Yin Qiu will be shattered in no time.

The bitter smell of the medicine lingered between the quiet two people. Man Jiangxue didn't seem to intend to ask Yin Qiu how the injury came about. She also surprisingly didn't speak during the whole process of applying the medicine. Yin Qiu was still a little nervous at first. , but seeing that Man Jiangxue remained silent for a long time, he secretly relaxed a little.

After all the wounds had been medicated, Man Jiangxue asked, "Does it hurt?"

Yin Qiu had something in her heart, and she couldn't help but lose her mind. She clearly heard Man Jiangxue's voice, but she couldn't answer quickly. Instead, she was taken aback for a moment before softly saying, "It doesn't hurt."

Man Jiangxue took the bandage again, cut it into thin strips with a knife, and bandaged Yin Qiu's fingers one by one. She still hung her head and said, "You don't have anything Want to talk to me?"

Hearing her words, Yin Qiu was taken aback, and after a moment's pause, he asked back: "...Uncle Master, do you think I should have something to say to you?"

Man Jiangxue glanced at her, and calmly said: "This is exactly what I want to ask you." After saying this, she looked away again, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate, and don't beat around the bush."

Yin Qiu couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. She felt that she was extremely transparent in front of Man Jiangxue. No matter what she had in mind, Man Jiangxue could always detect it, and she couldn't even tell a lie.Yin Qiu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Uncle...have you given medicine to my mother?"

Hearing this, Man Jiangxue smiled slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

Seeing her sudden smile, Yin Qiu knew that Man Jiangxue must know why she was bothering her. Yin Qiu muttered for a moment, then sighed: "Since my uncle already knows, then I don't need to ask any more questions." .”

Unexpectedly, Man Jiangxue raised her eyes and said, "What do I know?"

Yin Qiu was slightly taken aback: "You know...you don't know?"

Man Jiangxue said: "I don't know," then said, "I should know?"

Yin Qiu looked at her and saw that the smile on Man Jiangxue's face hadn't diminished at all, so he said firmly, "Master must know." She couldn't help being angry, "Just now you told me not to beat around the bush..."

Man Jiangxue chuckled and said, "Oh, what exactly do you want to ask?"

This back-and-forth conversation made Yin Qiu wonder for a while whether Man Jiangxue was pretending to be confused. She was thinking and distressed, and for a long time she couldn't figure out how to ask.

Can't ask Man Jiangxue and Shen Mandong directly if she likes her?

Then who can ask?

Confused secretly, the wound on his hand has been bandaged by Man Jiangxue, Yin Qiu looked at his five fingers wrapped like a white radish, and sighed again: "Forget it, let's not ask..."

Man Jiangxue said: "Are you sure?"

Yin Qiu's eyes dodged, and he hesitated and said, "Mmm..."

Man Jiangxue didn't ask the bottom line, but just said lightly: "Then you think about it, if you don't ask clearly this time, you won't have another chance in the future, if you don't mention it, I won't mention it, then you and I will talk about it." There will always be an unexplainable hidden thing, are you willing to do this?"

Yin Qiu thought about it, and said sadly: "Of course I don't want to, what's the matter, it's best to be able to explain it face to face..."

Man Jiangxue said: "Then what are you worried about?"

Yin Qiufei glanced at her quickly, and said falteringly, "I can't open my mouth."

"Then let me guess," Man Jiangxue said, "Is it something that makes it difficult for you to speak up, and is it also something that is difficult for me to speak up?"

Yin Qiu responded, and said vaguely: "I mentioned my mother just now... Can Master understand?"

Man Jiangxue looked at her: "Understood."

"Then..." Yin Qiu carefully chose his words, "Then my mother..." Perhaps because he felt that this was the point, Yin Qiu suddenly didn't want to play charades any more, so he straightened up and said bluntly, "My mother doesn't like my father, the person she really likes is you, right?"

Maybe it was because she finally asked this question, Man Jiangxue was obviously relieved, but she didn't answer yes or no, just nodded.

Yin Qiu was instantly relieved, but he also said with a complicated expression, "So, that's why Master Shishu didn't go to my mother's wedding and delivery day?"

A basin of clear water was placed on the small wooden table, Man Jiangxue turned sideways, washed his hands with the water, and said softly, "If it were you, would you go?"

Yin Qiu put himself in his shoes and thought about it, and replied, "If it were me... I probably wouldn't go either."

"Although I don't like Yin Xuan, and I don't want my senior sister to marry him, I should respect Yin Xuan on the day of their wedding," Man Jiangxue said. Accept, even though Yin Xuan doesn't know, I can't pretend I don't know, it's immoral."

Yin Qiu was silent, and said with a bit of a bad taste: "Then how did the uncle know that my mother treats you...Did she tell you personally?"

"I said it," Man Jiangxue said, "just the night before the big wedding, she drank wine that night and confessed her feelings to me through drunkenness. She said that if I was willing to accept her heart, she would marry me. Let's leave Yunhua Palace and Ruyi Gate together, and go to a place where no one can find us."

Hearing what she said, Yin Qiu's heart was shocked, and there was a deep surprise on his face.

Shen Mandong actually confessed his love to Man Jiangxue on the eve of the wedding, and wanted to escape marriage and elope with her?

Yin Qiu was shocked.

As for what happened next, there was no need for Man Jiangxue to say much, Yin Qiu probably already knew about it.

Faced with Shen Mandong's confession, Man Jiangxue naturally refused politely. Since then, she has been avoiding Shen Mandong, whether it is a big wedding or a childbirth, Man Jiangxue was invited and did not show up. She and Shen Mandong finally The first meeting was the day when the accident happened at Ruyimen.

Even though he had already learned about this from Young Master Fan, Yin Qiu still felt a little uncontrollably heavy when he heard Man Jiangxue admit it with his own ears.

She and mother fell in love with the same person, what mother didn't get, she got.

Thinking of this level, Yin Qiu couldn't help being a little dazed.

is that true?

Is she really with the uncle?

Since the end of the New Disciple Conference that year, Yin Qiu hadn't felt such a sense of unreality for a long time. After a few years, the familiar feeling came back again, like a thick cloud of mist, pouring into Yin Qiu's arms. She was in the mist Sitting, she felt as if she was both deeply involved in it and as if she was out of it. She was at a loss, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

The thin and bright light shrouded Yin Qiu's whole body, making her thin figure a little thin.After a long time, Yin Qiucai tried his best to restrain the turbulent emotions, and asked: "Since my mother doesn't like my father, why did she insist on marrying him?"

Man Jiangxue squeezed the handkerchief, wiped the water stains on his hands, and replied: "Because your mother is the heir of Ruyimen, she has the responsibility to marry and have children. For an unknown person with no family background, Ruyimen will not change their name and surname only if he comes to marry someone else, and if the senior sister marries someone else, then Ruyimen will no longer be the Shen family’s Ruyimen."

After hearing this, Yin Qiu couldn't help but fell silent.

Shouldering the important task of continuing the incense and inheriting the sect master, Shen Mandong still chooses to confess boldly under such circumstances, even willing to abandon Ruyimen and Yunhua Palace, just to fly away with Man Jiangxue.

If it wasn't for her deep love for Man Jiangxue, how could she have achieved such a level?

However, things backfired, and Shen Mandong lost her infatuation. Although she had feelings, Man Jiangxue had no intentions.

There was a burst of unspeakable pain in his heart, Yin Qiu frowned, and it took a long time to say: "Did the uncle like my mother at all?"

Man Jiangxue looked calm, and said succinctly: "Yes," she threw the handkerchief aside, looked directly at Yin Qiu and said, "but my liking for her is just the liking between teachers and sisters. other."

Yin Qiu was stunned, looking back at Man Jiangxue: "But my mother likes you very much, no... her feelings for you are not ordinary, she, she loves you very much..."

Man Jiangxue frowned slightly, but did not reply to Yin Qiu's words.

Both of them became quiet, and neither of them said anything. After a long while, Yin Qiu suddenly laughed inexplicably, and said in a low voice: "At first I always thought that it was my father who lied to my mother's feelings. But later Nangong Min told me that he actually loves my mother very much," she said, with a hint of self-deprecating gradually in her tone, "so I also decided that even though the two of them had a miserable ending, at least they once loved each other sincerely. But only now I know that my mother has never been in love from the beginning to the end, and she has never loved my father from the beginning to the end. This is ridiculous, isn't it?"

Man Jiangxue remained silent.

"Even my father's love is a fake show, it didn't exist from the beginning," Yin Qiu said with a big smile, but he closed his eyes and continued, "If feelings are a game , then my father lost completely, since the two of them met each other, they have their own plans, both of them have selfish intentions, and they are both taking advantage of each other. But in this way, what have I become?"

Hearing this, Man Jiangxue finally sighed softly: "Xiaoqiu..."

"Why did they give birth to me?" Yin Qiu was a little confused, and he didn't know who he was asking, "Is my existence meaningful? My existence... seems to only prove that they made a wrong choice, which led to irreparable consequences , Most people in this world are born because their parents love each other, but I... But I am not."

"The existence of a person cannot be summed up by these things alone." Man Jiangxue approached Yin Qiu, raised her hand to caress Yin Qiu's cheek, "You have your own value, don't let the grievances of the previous generation become a bondage your shackles."

Yin Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled a little reluctantly: "I won't make things difficult for myself because of these things, but I will inevitably feel a little unacceptable in my heart. Besides, since I learned about my life experience until today, I have never complained about anything, and I don't care about it. Don't blame any of them, but they did leave me with a mess, didn't they?"

Man Jiangxue said: "Maybe you can't choose your birth, but you can hold your destiny in your own hands, what do you think?"

Yin Qiu looked at her thoughtfully.

"In these years, I have thought countless times, if I went to see my senior sister, would the ending be different?" Man Jiangxue's eyes wandered, looking at Zhubing on Yin Qiu's waist. My fault is all on my shoulders. In fact, from a certain point of view, her blame is not unreasonable. With me present, Nangong Min will definitely be afraid. Even if she still wants to start a war, as long as she I can help, no matter how passive the Ruyi Gate is, it will not fall into such a situation, and maybe the senior sister will not disappear without a trace."

After she finished speaking, she stared at Yin Qiu again and said, "You don't have to suffer so much."

Facing those gentle eyes, Yin Qiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and said, "Uncle, are you guilty?"

Man Jiangxue said: "When you have the ability to protect someone but fail to protect her, you will naturally feel guilty, not to mention that this person is kind to you."

Yin Qiu was silent for a moment, but shook her head: "No, it's none of your business." She raised her hand and held Man Jiangxue's wrist, "No matter what others think of you, you can't blame yourself like this. "

Man Jiangxue looked down at her and said, "I don't care about others, I only care about you," she asked softly, "Will you blame me?"

Yin Qiu answered quickly: "Of course I won't."

Man Jiangxue asked again: "Then you learned about this, will you have a relationship with me because of it?"

Yin Qiu felt sore, and said, "Of course not." She paused, and then said, "It was a bit hard to accept at first, and I was also worried that if my mother was still alive, if she found out... I wouldn't know how to face it. To her."

Man Jiangxue said, "What about now?"

Now?Yin Qiu raised her eyes and stared at Man Jiangxue's moonlike and jade-like face. She curled her fingers on Man Jiangxue's wrists slightly, then lifted them up and landed on Man Jiangxue's neck.

Yin Qiu hugged her and said softly, "She is her, and I am me."

Man Jiangxue's downcast eyes were filled with soft light.

"I don't care who she likes, I just care about myself," Yin Qiu said, tilting his head slightly, and touching the corner of Man Jiangxue's lips, "If she comes back, I won't back down easily, as long as my uncle lets go The one in my heart is me."

The indifferent but firm words fell in my ears, like fine raindrops swaying on the surface of the lake, causing layers of ripples.

The room was filled with frosty wind, wrapped in the smell of the two of them, Yin Qiu surrounded Man Jiangxue with his hands, and kissed her actively and seriously for the first time.

A warm feeling flowed in her heart, and soon spread to her whole body. Man Jiangxue closed her eyes, and began to respond to Yin Qiu's slightly jerky kiss. She didn't say anything, but hugged Yin Qiu back, and after a while Naturally, she turned against the customer and gained the upper hand in this kiss, dominating everything.

Footsteps and voices were heard one after another outside Shen Xing Hall. The disciples who had just arrived got acquainted with the environment and returned at this time. The tranquility was broken, but the two people in the room were not affected at all. In the sky, the two hugged each other tightly and had a close relationship, neither of them stopped their movements hastily because of the movement outside.

The wound on his hand was aching, and it was difficult to support. Yin Qiu subconsciously pressed towards Man Jiangxue, and distributed his weight to her. Man Jiangxue supported Yin Qiu's waist, and brought her down. .

The plain shirts and skirts overlapped, and the soft material was like a cloud, swayed by the wind from unknown sources. Yin Qiu bent his legs and knocked his knees to the ground lightly, but she was sitting between Man Jiangxue's legs. With her head down, Man Jiangxue raised her face, the two leaned on each other, passing each other's body temperature, their breaths intertwined, and there was countless tenderness.

The long hair fell from the cheeks, covering Man Jiangxue's side face, and also covered the lips that were stuck together. Yin Qiu found out in the few kisses, and she gradually learned how to kiss. Controlling her breathing, she no longer becomes breathless like the previous few times. She wanted to kiss Man Jiangxue for a longer time, and she didn't want to separate so quickly, so she followed Man Jiangxue's guidance, controlled the strength and depth, and tried her best to kiss Man Jiangxue. When you have a degree of relaxation, you can do a job with ease.

But the breathing was still messed up.

The hand wandering around the waist was soothing, and the pair of well-defined and slightly cool hands touched her. Yin Qiu couldn't help herself, and a low gasp overflowed from her throat. She couldn't bear such caress and long kisses. Kiss, she lifted her head up, revealing her smooth and fair neck, Man Jiangxue opened her eyes slightly, and her gaze touched the delicate white, and she lightly slid her fingertips across the bright white, as if flicking The strings left a light red mark on the skin between Yin Qiu's neck.

Then she raised her head slightly and kissed the mark.

The soft touch was attached to the side of the neck, bit by bit, coherent and dense, Yin Qiu couldn't help trembling slightly, her cheeks and ears turned red in an instant, she clenched Man Jiangxue's collar tightly, Trembling, small whimpers and disordered breathing sprayed on Man Jiangxue's temples, moistening Man Jiangxue's hair.

The beam of light came in through the window screen and just fell on the two of them. The sunlight was bright and dazzling, clearly reflecting Yin Qiu's appearance at the moment. She gasped with difficulty, and finally noticed the voices and The laughter, those voices and the bright beam of light enveloped her, making her suddenly absurd, as if she was not hiding in the house but exposed to the light of the sky.

There was a lot of shame in my heart, but another kind of secret joy was wonderfully bred. Yin Qiu felt weak all over, and had to reach out to stop Man Jiangxue. Her eyes were moist, like a hot and humid fog , Yin Qiu said embarrassingly: "There are many people outside..."

Man Jiangxue glanced at her, the cold fingertips had been replaced by lingering heat, she looked down, looked at Yin Qiu's neck and said, "Here, it's red."

Yin Qiu shyly blocked it with her hand, but Man Jiangxue clasped her wrist again, took Yin Qiu's hand to walk on her skin, and said, "There is still here."

Yin Qiu's little composure dissipated in an instant, she lowered her eyelashes and stepped back, leaving the beam of light that enveloped her, hiding in the shadows and saying, "Don't look..."

Man Jiangxue laughed slowly, hooked Yin Qiu's chin and said, "You kissed me on your own initiative, and now you're shy again?"

Yin Qiu staggered Man Jiangxue's sight, and whispered back to her: "Can't you?"

"Okay." Man Jiangxue responded, and moved towards Yin Qiu again. The two turned upside down for a moment, and Yin Qiu's back felt cold, and he was quickly put on the ground.

Man Jiangxue looked at her from top to bottom, and said, "Since the knot in my heart has been resolved, is it my turn to ask you now?"

Yin Qiu couldn't move, and the spread of black hair made the rosiness of her lips even more obvious. Yin Qiu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What do you want to ask me?"

Man Jiangxue calmed down and said, "Who told you?"

Although her words were a bit vague, Yin Qiu knew exactly what she meant. Yin Qiu thought for a moment, considering that Young Master Fan had made it clear that he could not tell Man Jiangxue of his existence, so Yin Qiu had no choice but to tell Man Jiangxue about his existence. Pushing the matter to others, said: "... Nangong Min told me."

Man Jiangxue looked at her: "Nangong Min?" She raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing apprehension, "It's been such a long time since we left Cang County and returned to the palace, why did you only think of asking for it today?" Say this?"

Knowing that Man Jiangxue is particularly sensitive, Yin Qiu is really unwilling to lie to her if it is not necessary, but now he can only continue to prevaricate: "There are too many things on the road, I have never found the right time, and I still don't know what to do. I asked you, that's why it took so long."

Her face was still flushed, and there was obvious shyness in the corners of her eyes and brows. Man Jiangxue couldn't tell the truth from Yin Qiu's expression, and she deliberately asked this question just to confirm whether Wen Zhaoyu was behind her. If you slipped your mouth, since it wasn't, Man Jiangxue didn't ask any more questions.

"It's almost noon, it's too late," Man Jiangxue looked at the sky, and said, "Go take a bath early, I guess I'll sleep until tomorrow morning."

Seeing that she didn't show the slightest doubt about his words, Yin Qiu secretly relaxed a little bit, raised his right hand and said, "But my hands are all wrapped up like this, how do I take a bath?"

After being reminded by her, Man Jiangxue seemed to have just remembered, with a bit of blame in her tone: "You still have the nerve to mention it? You didn't tell me when you were injured, and you refused to let you rest last night. You are bold now , You really have to hide everything from me."

Yin Qiu couldn't help raising her relaxed heart just now, she turned her face away, and said a little bluntly: "How can there be..."

"Still being stubborn," Man Jiangxue sighed softly, "I used to know to admit my mistakes immediately after making a mistake, but now it's getting more and more outrageous."

Yin Qiu was quiet for a moment, then muttered, "That's because I only regarded you as a respected uncle before, but it's different now. I can't treat you as an uncle forever, right?"

"Then I have never overwhelmed you as an uncle," Man Jiangxue said, "You seem to have been wronged by me a lot. Have I ever treated you harshly?"

Yin Qiu pursed his lips: "It's not..."

"If you make a mistake, you should admit it, and I am the same," Man Jiangxue said, "You always want to fool yourself by losing your temper. How easy am I to fool you?"

Yin Qiu had no choice but to say honestly: "Okay, I was wrong this time, I shouldn't have kept it from my uncle..."

"It's not an example," Man Jiangxue picked Yin Qiu up from the ground, "Go take a bath as soon as possible."

Yin Qiu curled up in her arms and struggled, "But my hand—"

"It's okay," Man Jiangxue said seriously, "I'll wash it for you."
