Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

After noon, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and a warm sun emerged from the top of the clouds, casting a few faint rays of sunlight, which were reflected on the branches and leaves of the trees all over the mountain swaying with the wind.

The snow on the top of the mountain was not easy to melt, and there were still sparse awns of white everywhere, and some snow water slid down from the head, dripping in Yin Qiu's hair, and she shivered from the ice.

All the way down the stone steps, Man Jiangxue is walking in front, the fluttering skirts are like pieces of steaming clouds, and the back view is a bit unspeakably cold, Yin Qiu's steps are small, unable to keep up with Man Jiangxue's pace, she After jumping a few steps, I couldn't catch up no matter what, so I had to call out: "Uncle Master...wait for me."

As if Man Jiangxue couldn't hear her voice, she kept walking, Yin Qiu had no choice but to speed up, and when the two of them reached a flat ground, Man Jiangxue suddenly stopped without warning and stopped in place, Yin Qiu Before he could react in time, he bumped into Man Jiangxue's back.

The cold wind howled and circled around him, Yin Qiu staggered two steps, hurriedly grabbed Man Jiangxue's arm, raised his head and said, "Uncle?"

Only then did Man Jiangxue turn around, looked down at Yin Qiu and said, "Is she the one you were talking about that day?"

At this point, Yin Qiu could no longer prevaricate her, so he said honestly: "It's her...but it really didn't matter to me at first, uncle, I didn't lie to you."

Man Jiangxue's eyes were calm, and she said, "She first found Fu Xiang, and then she followed you."

Yin Qiu didn't know why she didn't dare to look at her, scratched her head, and let out a soft "hmm".

"You should explain to me earlier," Man Jiangxue said, "Whether it's you or Fu Xiang, as long as I know about this matter, I will deal with it for you."

Yin Qiu lowered his head: "I just thought...we can solve it by ourselves."

It's because their thinking was too simple, and they didn't know much about Ding Lianzhen. Fu Xiang only thought that if Yin Qiu declined Ding Lianzhen's marriage contract for her, this matter would be over abruptly, but who would have thought that Ding Lianzhen would turn around again? And fell in love with Yin Qiu?

It's true that if you steal a chicken, you won't lose your rice. If you are clever, you will be mistaken by your cleverness.

"If this kind of thing happens again, remember to tell me as soon as possible," Man Jiangxue said, "Anything you can't handle, leave it to me to settle."

Yin Qiu replied "Got it", thought for a while and said, "Actually, Senior Sister Ding didn't mean anything bad, she was just a little too enthusiastic..."

Man Jiangxue frowned, and preached: "You are still too naive, as she herself said, if you were not young, she would definitely pester you even more."

Yin Qiu was silent, and said in disbelief: "But we are both girls, and it's the first time we met. Senior Sister Ding is so enthusiastic, what can she do to me..."

"Don't you understand?" Man Jiangxue sized her up, "Otherwise you wouldn't be so resistant to her."

Yin Qiu was stunned for a moment, but still said: "No way...Senior Sister Ding was just teasing me, she said so herself."

"What about this?" Man Jiangxue said, and suddenly raised her hand to touch Yin Qiu's lips.

There was a slight chill in her fingertips, and when she lightly touched the corner of her lips, it seemed like a piece of cold snowflakes had fallen. Yin Qiu seemed to have been electrocuted, his eyelashes trembled slightly, he turned his head away resentfully, and said in a voice like a mosquito: " Uncle Shi even saw this..."

Man Jiangxue withdrew her hand and said nothing.

Yin Qiu has never seen such a rigorous appearance of Man Jiangxue, and her attitude towards Ding Lianzhen was very indifferent before, which is far from the gentle and patient uncle in Yin Qiu's impression, it seems to be a different person .

Knowing that Man Jiangxue was probably angry, Yin Qiu quickly threw himself into Man Jiangxue's arms, turned his head to look at her and said, "Master, don't be angry, I know I was wrong."

Facing those gentle and sincere eyes, Man Jiangxue was silent again.

angry?What is she mad about?She also had no choice but to become the mother-in-law for her senior sister. How can she not worry about taking care of the children?

However, worrying is nothing but worrying, if Yin Qiu could understand her intentions, it would be fine, but seeing Yin Qiu repeatedly excused Ding Lianzhen, it was obvious that he hadn't understood the seriousness of the matter, and Man Jiangxue had never been a mother, so he didn't know how to teach her Junior, this is also one of the reasons why she refuses to accept apprentices. It is not easy to be a qualified elder. She knows that she is still lacking, but Yin Qiu is now under her control, and some things can't be done if she doesn't care about it. .

In a blink of an eye, Yin Qiu was no longer the sallow, emaciated and seriously ill little girl. During these days, Man Jiangxue had noticed every change in her. After going through a serious illness, this child seemed to be completely reborn. She grew more and more graceful, and her appearance stood out among all the disciples. Even Xie Yijun mentioned her from time to time, saying that when she grows up in the future, she may be even better than Shen Mandong back then, a beauty embryo brought out of her mother's womb.

Most people in this world are beautiful, ugly and ugly, but whoever has a beautiful skin, no matter where he is, will always pay more attention and care than others, but a person who is too ostentatious in life is not a good thing after all. Lianzhen, maybe there will be someone else tomorrow. No matter how much Man Jiangxue wants to protect, she can't always take care of her. If she comes out in person like today, it will always treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

In the final analysis, it depends on what Yin Qiu thinks.

·

Secretly thinking a lot in her heart, after a long while, Man Jiangxue said again: "I forgot to ask you, how do you really feel about Ding Lian?"

Yin Qiu raised his eyes and asked back, "How does it feel?"

Man Jiangxue said: "Do you like her?"

Yin Qiu was stunned: "This..." She paused, then thought about it, "After all, it's the first time we meet, so I don't hate it, but I think Senior Sister Ding is so enthusiastic that I don't know what to do. "

Man Jiangxue looked at her and said, "So if she still comes to you in the future, are you willing to associate with her?"

Yin Qiu thought blankly for a while: "As long as she can be polite, it should be fine."

In other words, they are also teachers and sisters of the same school. In the future, they will meet more and more. Even if there is a little unpleasantness, it will not be an enemy. In Yin Qiu's heart, it is good to be able to get along with people to the greatest extent. I've been through a lot of being ostracized and know what it feels like.

It's fine if Ding Lian really doesn't take it to heart, but if she's an unreasonable and unreasonable person, Yin Qiu can only accept it. As far as Yin Qiu is concerned, the best way to deal with it is not to make grudges with others, but to bear with everything.

She is not Man Jiangxue, she is just an ordinary new disciple, what can she use to compete with her senior brothers and sisters?After staying in a disadvantaged environment for a long time, Yin Qiu has long been used to submitting to others. She doesn't have the confidence to turn against others like Man Jiangxue.

She thought so, but Man Jiangxue disagreed, saying: "Do you think it's possible? A person who behaved badly when we first met, where do you expect her to be in the future?"

The conversation gradually became heavy. Yin Qiu was not used to having such an atmosphere with Man Jiangxue, so he said with a bitter face: "Then what should I do? I can't complain to my uncle all the time? I am different from my uncle. , you only need to say one word, no one dares to disobey you, but who am I? I am so insignificant, what if I offend Senior Sister Ding and she secretly bullies me?"

"She dares," Man Jiangxue said, "No one in Yunhua Palace dares to bully you."

Yin Qiu was taken aback when he heard this, and then shook his head and chuckled lightly: "Uncle Shi is willing to support me, I am very happy, but has Uncle Shi ever thought that you are not afraid of Senior Sister Ding, so you can accuse her mercilessly, But I can't, I have no such ability."

What she said made sense. Man Jiangxue pondered for a while, softened her tone, and said, "I didn't mean to interfere with your making friends. It would be fine if it were someone else. I've heard about Ding Lianzhen for a long time. The reviews have always been bad, not to mention that I made it clear to her earlier that if she committed a crime knowingly, I will not forgive her, but it is one thing for me to come forward to warn you, and your attitude is also very important. If I get in the way for you , you are submissive on the back foot, don’t you tell me to waste my words?”

How could Yin Qiu fail to understand her good intentions?Quickly replied: "I understand what Uncle Shi means, don't worry, I know what to do."

The words have come to this point, there is no need to continue talking about this matter. Man Jiangxue looked at Yin Qiu's low-browed and obedient look, and secretly sighed in her heart that it is not easy to be an elder. She hugged Yin Qiu back, and her tone returned to her usual Gentle, said: "Since you understand everything, then I don't want to talk too much, let's go."

She took Yin Qiu's hand and walked sideways towards the stone road. Yin Qiu turned his head and looked at Man Jiangxue for a while, with a little smile on his face, and said softly: "Then why did the uncle come? How do you know that I am in heaven?" Sound Peak?"

Man Jiangxue said, "I saw it."

So she followed all the way secretly?Thinking of this, Yin Qiu smiled more intensely, and leaned on Man Jiangxue's shoulder and said, "Thank you, uncle."

The mountain wind came through the forest, messing up the broken hair on Yin Qiu's forehead, half covering her clear eyes, Man Jiangxue gave her a sideways look, and said, "Thank you, uncle should protect you." of."

Yin Qiu was so happy, his whole body was about to stick to Man Jiangxue, and he said sincerely: "Uncle Master is so kind."

The thin and soft voice rang in her ears, and Man Jiangxue raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously, and said, "You may encounter similar things in the future, so don't panic, you must remember what I told you," she said Speaking of this, he looked at Yin Qiu again, "But you don't have to close yourself too much because of this. After all, there are mostly good people in this world. If you meet someone you like in the future, you can go boldly with him."

Yin Qiu lowered his head again: "I'm still young..."

Man Jiangxue said: "In a few years, I will be a big girl. There are some things that should be known early."

"Why didn't you count?" Yin Qiu raised his eyes, "I only like uncle Shi, not others."

Man Jiangxue laughed: "Two different things."

Yin Qiu looked at her smile and tilted his head: "Why are there two different things?"

Man Jiangxue said: "You can't always follow me. Sooner or later, you will have your own place. When you grow up, you will start a family and start a business, and you are no exception."

Yin Qiu said, "What about the uncle?"

Man Jiangxue said, "What about me?"

"Where is the uncle's whereabouts?"

Man Jiangxue paused, and then replied: "Don't ask about my affairs, and take care of yourself first."

Yin Qiu suddenly thought that Man Jiangxue was single until today. She herself said that most of her seniors and sisters had already married, but why did she live alone in Jingyue Peak all day long?

The uncle is already 25 years old, Yin Qiu thought, compared to himself, the uncle is the one who will find the place faster, but I don't know when that day will come?

If the uncle has a place to go, will she not be able to follow her anymore?Could it be the day when the uncle will leave Yunhua Palace and it will be difficult for them to even meet each other?

·

Thinking wildly like this, the smile on Yin Qiu's face gradually faded, and he felt uncontrollably lost in his heart.

She paused unconsciously, clutching Man Jiangxue's sleeves tightly with her fingers, and asked, "But I want to know, is there anyone you like?"

Man Jiangxue was pulled to a stop by her, and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Yin Qiu stared at her blankly: "I'm curious..."

Man Jiangxue's gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and said, "No."

Hearing her answer clearly, Yin Qiu regained some joy, and asked again: "What about before? Did Master Shi like anyone before?"

Man Jiangxue had never talked about emotional matters with anyone, so she couldn't help being silenced by Yin Qiu's question, and said after a long time: "Not at all."

"Really?" Yin Qiu's eyes lit up.

"What are you doing to lie to you?" Man Jiangxue started walking again.

"I don't believe it," Yin Qiu unconsciously pursed the corners of his lips, and his tone became lighter, "Uncle Shi is so beautiful, there must be many people who like you, how could you never like others?"

Man Jiangxue was a little helpless and said: "Do you know what liking is? If I say no, it means no."

"If you can, there will always be," Yin Qiu observed Man Jiangxue's expression, "my uncle will also get married."

Man Jiangxue said "hmm", "Maybe."

Yin Qiu's heart was up and down, happy for a while and sad for a while, she moved her hand to Man Jiangxue's palm, clasped her fingers and said: "If the uncle has someone he likes, please remember to follow her." I'll say it."

Man Jiangxue didn't notice Yin Qiu's emotional changes, and just asked her casually as if she was a child, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Yin Qiu said: "Of course you have to tell me. If my uncle has someone he likes, he will definitely not want me."

Man Jiangxue laughed: "Why don't you want to?"

Yin Qiu said: "I will definitely. Uncle Shi will leave Yunhua Palace when he becomes a family. I can't follow you like an oil bottle, right? I just don't want me."

"Don't talk nonsense," Man Jiangxue chuckled, "I didn't get married so soon, and I didn't think about it at all. You worried too early."

"What if?" Yin Qiu chattered endlessly, "What if the uncle meets someone he likes soon and then starts a family? It's not certain."

Seeing her serious face, Man Jiangxue became playful and deliberately teased her: "Then take you with me and be a little maid by my side."

Yin Qiu's face collapsed immediately: "I don't want it."

Man Jiangxue looked at her: "Why? Didn't you worry that I would not want you just now?"

Yin Qiu thought in his heart that you are with others, but you want me to be your maid, watching your love every day, isn't this suffering?

"Anyway, no," Yin Qiu said, "I don't want to be your maid, and I don't want you to have a family."

Hearing what she said, Man Jiangxue was even more sure that Yin Qiu had a temper tantrum and had a quarrel with her.

"Okay, I don't want you to be a maid, and I don't want to have a family." Man Jiangxue laughed and laughed.

"I'm serious," Yin Qiu found that she was coaxing himself, and he was not discouraged. "If it's possible...can the uncle really not have a family? Don't like others?"

"I can't promise that," Man Jiangxue patted Yin Qiu's head, "Even I don't know what will happen in the future, so I promise you now, and you will say that I backtracked in the future."

Yin Qiu sighed old-fashionedly, and said sullenly: "Uncle Shi, why is this, you can just lie to me verbally."

Man Jiangxue just smiled and pinched Yin Qiu's face again.

Leaving Tianyin Peak, Man Jiangxue sent Yin Qiu all the way back to the disciples' academy. Today's martial arts test, there will be no class in the afternoon, Yin Qiu refused to let Man Jiangxue go, so Man Jiangxue stayed in the room to accompany her She didn't go back to Jingyue Peak until after dinner all afternoon.

At night, Yin Qiu lay on the couch without any sleepiness, thinking about the conversation with Man Jiangxue all the time, with a lot of thoughts in his heart and complicated heart.

She looked at the dark room in a daze for a long time, then let out a long sigh, and finally reached out and took out the snow-white purse from under the pillow, hugged it in her arms, and then fell asleep in a daze past.
