Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The plum blossoms bloomed again after they had withered, the courtyard was full of cold fragrance, pieces of residual petals were falling on the snow, and the white was dotted with sporadic red, as if the rice paper was stained with drops of vermilion ink.

A sparrow landed on the fence, shook the snow off its body, and chirped a few times. Following the bird's chirping, the sound of Lang Lang's reading was heard inside and outside the school, with cadences and priorities. The students in the room held up their books, Qi shook his head.

Yin Qiu kept his sitting posture upright as much as possible, secretly yawned long and long when his master couldn't see him.

She was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open.

Although she had slept a lot during the past few days, she was a little tired after all the traveling. Moreover, after negotiating with Young Master Fan last night, Yin Qiu couldn't calm down for a long time, with complicated thoughts and a lot of thoughts. She closed her eyes before dawn, but Before she fell asleep completely, the bell in the disciple's courtyard rang.

Yin Qiu's vision was blurred, she couldn't see clearly what was written in the text, she could only subconsciously read along with other students, she tried her best not to fall asleep, but she couldn't stop her eyelids getting heavier and closed uncontrollably eyes.

Suddenly, a thunder-like sound exploded in his ears, and Yin Qiu, who was drowsy, was so frightened by the sudden sound that his hairs stood on end, and he immediately regained his senses.

She looked panic-stricken, opened her eyes, and saw the master standing by the desk with a ruler in his hand, and shouted: "I was sluggish early in the morning, what did I do at night! Stand up for me!"

Yin Qiu's sleepy head cleared in an instant, and now she didn't feel sleepy at all. She thought something was wrong in her heart, and she was about to move subconsciously, but before she got up, Meng Jing stood up suddenly.

Yin Qiu was still in shock, and then realized that the master's eyes did not fall on her, but looked at Meng Jing and said: "How long ago have you been absent-minded since you entered school! How many words can you recognize? How many articles can you memorize? You are useless." thing!"

Meng Jing lowered her head, her face was sleepy and her eyes were bleary, she was obviously out of spirits, and she didn't respond to Master's scolding at all, just stood there without saying a word.

Seeing his slumped face, he didn't know how to admit his mistake at the first time, the master became even more furious, and threw another ruler on the desk, angrily said: "Give me a punishment at the back!"

Meng Jing rubbed her eyes expressionlessly, and left the seat with a book in hand.

Yin Qiu was secretly glad that he was not found, but saw the master pointing at her again and said: "And you! Do you think the old man is blind? Stand up quickly!"

Yin Qiu was startled by him, and quickly stood up with a "whoosh".

"One or two don't know what they did at night!" The master was furious, looking at Yin Qiu and said, "I put him next to you because you have always been the best. I hope you can set a good example for him. Fortunately, you dozed off with him!"

Yin Qiu hurriedly leaned over to salute, and said humbly: "Master, don't be angry, the student knows his mistake, and he won't do it again."

"You also stand behind me!"

After being scolded in public, Yin Qiu was really ashamed, and quickly ran to the rear with his book in his arms.

The master was still angry, he scolded the two of them for this matter, and also reprimanded other quiet students, and then started to lecture with a straight face.

A whole morning passed, and the master didn't say anything to ask the two to go back to their seats. Yin Qiu didn't dare to desert any more, and studied very seriously. On the other hand, Meng Jing looked indifferent, with the books loosely in his hands, and he was not seen attending the class. .

When school was over, all the students in the room filed out and went to the dining hall to eat. The master took a test of what the two had learned today. Yin Qiu answered the questions fluently and performed well, but Meng Jing stumbled and staggered in his answers. After asking a few words, he still became irritable, and threw out "Of course I don't know if I didn't listen!", and he was beaten to death without answering, the master was so angry that he cursed, and fined them both to suspend the martial arts class, and they were not allowed to eat , Immediately go to Zangshuge to wipe the floor.

·

The Zangshu Pavilion is located on Wenxin Peak. There are two places, one for Tibetan martial arts and one for Tibetan literature. The two small buildings are almost the same in construction, and both are three stories high. I heard that some students came to be punished, and the disciples in the building fell After having a good time, I explained the precautions, and then they all laughed and played.

It is not an easy task to clean the floors of these two buildings. Yin Qiu bowed his waist and wiped a room, and he was already panting and sweating from exhaustion.

There was no one in the building, and it was very quiet. Most of the disciples on Wenxin Peak were just idlers, so no one came to inspect during the period. Yin Qiu honestly finished solving the first floor, and it was almost an hour. Went downstairs with a wooden bucket to change the water, when Meng Jing came back, she was still slumped on the porch chair, motionless, and the handkerchief in her hand was still dry.

Xuxue was falling endlessly, and the sky and the earth were covered in snowflakes. Meng Jing was sitting on the veranda with her head down, wearing a pure white student uniform, her figure looked very thin, and her face had obvious His face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he looked preoccupied.

Yin Qiu glanced at him, then looked away.

At this speed, it would take Xu time to finish wiping the remaining two floors. Yin Qiu rubbed her arms and was about to enter the building when something hit her back. She reached out and touched it. Touch a piece of ice cold.

Meng Jing held a few snow balls, threw them up and caught them, and met Yin Qiu's gaze with a hostile look: "What are you looking at?"

Yin Qiu frowned, didn't intend to pay attention to him, and walked in the door.

She just stepped into the door with her front foot, when Meng Jing's footsteps sounded from her back foot.

"Stop!" Meng Jing threw all the snow balls in her hand onto Yin Qiu, saying, "Don't wipe it, let's fight!"

Yin Qiu paused, thinking why is this man crazy?But after thinking about it, I still endured it, and I didn't want to conflict with him, lest the trouble would be known by others, and a punishment would be inevitable.

Meng Jing was really aggrieved and couldn't find a place to vent his anger. He wanted to vent his anger on Yin Qiu, but Yin Qiu swallowed his anger and ignored him. Meng Jing punched the cotton, which was very boring, but Annoyed, he had no choice but to try to wrap Yin Qiu around, grabbed Yin Qiu's clothes and said, "Come and fight!"

Yin Qiu was helpless, and finally said: "If you don't work anymore, the senior brothers and sisters will report to the master when they come back later."

"You think I'm afraid?" Meng Jing refused to let go, "Come on! Let's fight!"

Yin Qiu said: "You find someone else, I won't fight with you."

Meng Jing snorted: "What are you afraid of? If you are upright, don't keep avoiding me."

Yin Qiu was pushed a few times by him, and almost knocked over the water in the bucket. The more she dodged, the more Meng Jing pushed her forward, grabbing Yin Qiu and pushing again and again. Young Master Fan will come again tonight, she bears it again and again, and suddenly thinks that Meng Jing has beaten her since Qingluo City, and now that she entered the palace, she also despises the palace rules and secretly bullies her, so she is also angry. He folded his body and pushed Meng Jing back.

Yin Qiu was just defending, he didn't take the initiative to hit him, and he didn't use much strength, but saw Meng Jing being pushed back again and again by her, and finally fell to the ground with his ass.

"I..." Yin Qiu looked at his hands in surprise, "I didn't do it on purpose."

Meng Jing had never practiced martial arts before, and he was weak and weak. He was in Qingluo City because Yin Qiu was still ill, and he didn't want to argue with him, so he had to be beaten. Now Yin Qiu has practiced martial arts for many days. Her body has also taken care of herself, after all, she is the one who won the No. 5 martial arts test. If she really wanted to fight, Meng Jing would no longer be her opponent.

However, both of them didn't realize this, and Yin Qiu didn't expect that he would overthrow the person casually, Meng Jing was also very surprised.

"Hypocrisy!" Meng Jing was furious, jumped up and kicked Yin Qiu again, "You said you wouldn't fight with me?"

"I said it wasn't intentional!" Yin Qiu dodged to avoid it, and at the same time raised his hand to restrain Meng Jing's attacking fist.

"Okay, you!" Meng Jing's face was ashen, "I can't help you after learning Wu Nai for a few days!"

Yin Qiu really had nothing to do with him, so he had to take a few steps back to distance himself, and said, "Stop fighting, we won't have a good time if there's any commotion."

Realizing that he could no longer beat Yin Qiu, Meng Jing was extremely frustrated, and unwilling to reconcile, pointed at Yin Qiu's nose and said, "I'm going to fight you!"

After he finished speaking, he threw himself at Yin Qiu, throwing Yin Qiu to the ground. His movements looked fierce, but in reality they were disorganized and lacked strength. Yin Qiu watched his every move. In his eyes, every time he avoided it just right, and he was not touched by Meng Jing at all.

Seeing him pestering her relentlessly, Yin Qiu couldn't help feeling angry, kicked Meng Jing away, got up and said, "If you do this again, I'll go out and call someone."

Meng Jing took a deep breath when she kicked her, gritted her teeth and said, "...you shout!"

Yin Qiu stood up at the right time, and was a little angry for a while, and said, "You want to fight me so much, but you can't beat me now, so stop fighting."

Hearing this, Meng Jing was slightly startled.

Although what Yin Qiu said was the truth, how could Meng Jing bear this tone?After all, he was a few years older than Yin Qiu, but he couldn't even beat someone younger than himself, and he was belittled by the other party's words. It was a great humiliation.

"You..." Meng Jing raised her hand and pointed at Yin Qiu, out of breath.

Seeing his distressed appearance, Yin Qiu frowned, but didn't answer any more, and was about to go upstairs with the barrel in hand.

She had only stepped up a few stairs when there was another muffled "boom" sound behind her, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Yin Qiu looked back, and saw Meng Jing lying on the ground, his eyes turned white, and his whole body was twitching.

Yin Qiu's face changed, and he hurriedly dropped the barrel and ran over to help him up: "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Meng Jing's face was flushed red, and after a while it turned pale again, his pupils were dilated, his breathing was short of breath, his hands and feet danced wildly at first, and then became stiff again.

Seeing his description, Yin Qiu knew that he must have fainted with anger and caused a relapse of heart disease, so he quickly put him down and ran outside, shouting "Come on", but no one came for a long time, Yin Qiu was very anxious , I wanted to run farther to ask someone to help, but I was afraid that something would happen to Meng Jing after I left. I was in a dilemma for a while, and I couldn't make up my mind.

Just when he was at a loss, Meng Jing seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief, and said on the verge of death: "Medicine...medicine..."

"Medicine?" Hearing his voice, Yin Qiufu ran back to Meng Jing again, "Where is the medicine?"

Meng Jing shook her hand and pointed to her chest.

Yin Qiu quickly touched his chest, felt a small lump of softness, and asked, "This?"

Meng Jing's body trembled, as if being scalded by something, her voice almost squeezed out from between her teeth: "Fart, fart! No...not this!"

Yin Qiu was baffled by his scolding, and finally touched a medicine bottle. She didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly poured a pill into Meng Jing's mouth.

Meng Jing shouted intermittently again: "Water...water..."

Where does the water come from here?Yin Qiu looked around for a while, but she didn't see any tea table, so she had no choice but to take a handful of the clear water she had brought earlier and feed it to Meng Jing.

After swallowing the medicine and pouring water again, it took a long while before Meng Jing got better, but she was also sweating profusely from the pain and moaning in pain.

Seeing him suffer so much, Yin Qiu really regretted it.

If I had known it earlier, I would not have bothered with him. I have tolerated so many times in the past, so why be afraid of this time?Fortunately, Meng Jing was fine, otherwise she would have really become a murderer this time.

·

Time passed bit by bit, the sky outside gradually darkened, and the lights in the building were not lit yet, so it looked dark.

"Meng Jing?" Yin Qiu knelt on the ground and gently shook the person with closed eyes beside him.

Meng Jing didn't respond.

"Meng Jing?" Yin Qiu called out again, "Wake up."

"Shut up," Meng Jing opened her eyes impatiently, her eyes were cold, "You're making too much noise."

With lingering fear in his heart, Yin Qiu let out a long breath and said, "You scared me, is there anything else right now?"

Meng Jing gasped in a "hiss" from his heart, and said weakly, "I'm not angry with you."

Yin Qiu thought that it was you who provoked me first, but she didn't say that, she just said in a muffled voice: "I really didn't do it on purpose, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Sensing the obvious concern in Yin Qiu's eyes, Meng Jing seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then turned her face away, and said dryly, "No, you go away."

Yin Qiu looked around and saw a long, low table next to the bookshelf in the hall, and said, "It's too cold on the ground, I'll help you up and lie down there."

Meng Jing glanced at her, still said bluntly: "...don't."

Yin Qiu had no choice but to take off his coat and put it on Meng Jing's body, saying: "Then get up by yourself if you feel better, there are still two floors to be wiped, I have to go to work."

The soft robe has a warm body temperature, and there is a fragrance that only belongs to the girl's house. Meng Jing frowned, raised her hand to uncover the robe, but put her hand back after a pause .

"as you like."

Yin Qiu guarded him for a while, and then carried the wooden bucket up the stairs again. After going through the previous one, Yin Qiu was in a more complicated mood, but also worked harder. After all the floors were wiped, it was completely dark When Yin Qiu went down to the lobby on the first floor, Meng Jing was nowhere to be seen.

Winter nights always get dark quickly, Yin Qiu calculated the time, and thought that the martial arts class was over, she was so tired that her limbs ached, her back was not straight, and she walked in a hurry this morning without eating breakfast. The particles did not enter, and the water did not touch her. At the moment, she was hungry and her mouth was dry, but she was still sleepy, and she really wanted to find a place to sleep.

He went out of the building and poured dirty water, cleaned the wooden barrels and handkerchiefs, and all the disciples stationed at the Library Pavilion came back. They were very satisfied after the inspection, and they all told Yin Qiu to go back to rest early.

Yin Qiu thought that Meng Jing might have left long ago, so he didn't look for him. When he walked out of the gate, he heard a few disciples talking behind him: "It's better for the girl to wipe the floor clean, that boy At first glance, it looks like a cheating and slippery person, and he hasn't finished cleaning a floor at this time, so it can be seen that he is used to being lazy, no wonder he will be punished by the master."

"No, the attitude is not good. I don't know how to respect our seniors. If you ask him a few words and contradict him, it's really lawless."

"You haven't heard of him, have you? I've heard that he made troubles as soon as he entered the palace and beat people up. I don't know where he came from."

"He said he was sick. I wondered if he was really sick, but there were a lot of laziness. Just leave him alone. Anyway, the master said, when the wiping is finished and when will we let him go, what should we do?" .”

……

The night snow was vast, and the momentum was getting stronger. After hearing these words, Yin Qiu turned around and looked at the other small building. A limping figure.

Yin Qiu looked at the shadow, sighed deeply, and stepped down the stone steps.
