Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

When Yin Qiu was in the brothel, she also served the girls in the brothel to take a bath, and she often took a bath with other girls. It is no surprise that she has seen her naked body too much, but now she is facing the naked body Jiang Xue, she was a little inexplicably afraid to look directly at her.

Like a beautiful pear flower hanging down on the head in a snowy night, the snow-black hair in the river is scattered, and her face is a little hazy in the mist. Her hands are like catkins, her skin is like creamy fat, her waist is slender, graceful, and her whole body is full of hair. Dazzling snow-white, with such a candid comparison, I feel that she is icy pure and pure, so beautiful that it seems that to look at her more is a kind of silent blasphemy.

Seeing Yin Qiu's eyes dodge and no movement, Man Jiangxue walked towards Yin Qiu and asked, "Why are you in a daze?"

She just stood in front of him so bluntly that Yin Qiu didn't know where to put his eyes, so he took off his clothes slowly.

Man Jiangxue stepped into the pool first, and sat on the edge of the pool, the horizontal line was just at the same level as her chest, only her shoulders and Ruyu's neck were exposed, covering up the spring scenery that made people think about it.

After Yin Qiu took off her clothes, she lowered her head to look at her thin body, and when she thought about the appearance of Man Jiangxue just now, she felt absurdly ashamed.

Since Yin Qiu didn't have enough snacks and clothing, she was hungry for a long time, so her development was relatively late. Ten years old is not too young, but she looks like a bean sprouts, thin and shriveled, compared to her stature. People of the same age are also much shorter. In fact, they don't look like ten-year-old children.

Because of her appearance, the traffickers dressed her up as a boy before entering the Xunchunyuan. The person who bought her didn’t feel suspicious when he saw her. When he got home and gave her a bath, he found out that she was a girl, and he was furious. .

Yin Qiu was thinking wildly, when he heard Man Jiangxue's voice suddenly: "Aren't you coming in yet?"

Realizing that Man Jiangxue was looking at him, Yin Qiu exchanged glances with her, feeling very uncomfortable, and quickly "plopped" into the pool.

Her action shook the Tangchi violently, causing a lot of splashes, and threw Man Jiangxue in the face. Man Jiangxue thought she was joking, and was not angry, so she just called Yin Qiu to her side.

Abandoning those messy thoughts, Yin Qiu approached Man Jiangxue, and habitually stuck to her body. When the skin touched, he felt Man Jiangxue's softness and body temperature. Yin Qiu thought that this seemed a bit too intimate, so he He silently moved away from her.

But Man Jiangxue pulled her back again and said, "What are you running, I'll wash your hair after removing the braid."

Yin Qiu sat upright, Man Jiangxue took off the red rope and removed her braid, took the wooden comb by the pool and combed it for her, then took a small wooden ladle to scoop water, and put her braid Her hair was wet, so she finally dabbed some soap locust powder with her fingers and washed her hair.

Her movements were gentle and patient. In the fresh scent of saponins, Yin Qiu recalled the days before. No one had ever taken care of her so considerately. She didn't remember anything about her when she was younger. She only remembered after entering the brothel. , there was an old woman who specially bathed young girls who worked as handymen. The old woman had long nails, sharp and sharp, and she was extremely ruthless. Seals, broken skin is a common thing.

The old woman is very fierce and impatient, and she is not allowed to cry after washing heavily. Anyone who dares to cry will be slapped with a loud ear scraper, making the person dizzy. , After being slapped a few times, I didn't dare anymore. No matter how painful it was, I gritted my teeth and endured it, and never said a word.

Man Jiangxue's fingers gently rubbed Yin Qiu's hair, not only did it not hurt, but it was also very comfortable, and it was still a little itchy.

Yin Qiu wanted to move, but the shadow left by the old woman was still there, and it had become a habit, so she resisted the itch and dared not move.

"What's wrong?" Man Jiangxue asked, noticing her stiffness.

"It's nothing." Yin Qiu said.

"Did it hurt you?" Man Jiangxue relaxed his movements.

"It's not pain...it's itching." Yin Qiu finally couldn't help but shrank his head.

Man Jiangxue laughed and said, "Be patient, it will be washed soon."

Reassured and knowing that she would not blame him, Yin Qiu gradually relaxed, giggling at Man Jiangxue's hand, and started playing with her, holding water to wet Man Jiangxue's hair , After Yin Qiu's little head was washed, Man Jiangxue's long hair was already soaked.

"Naughty." Man Jiangxue said.

Yin Qiu took the wooden ladle from her hand and said, "I'll wash it for you too."

Man Jiangxue wiped the water off her face with a handkerchief, and said, "Can you?"

"Of course I will." Yin Qiu held Man Jiangxue's shoulders, motioned her to turn her back to him, and said, "When I was in the building, a girl took pity on me and asked me to serve me from the kitchen. Then I always bathe her."

"Is she nice to you?" Man Jiangxue turned her face slightly, her long eyelashes were stained with two drops of water.

"She was the best person in the building to me, but she died later."

"How did you die?"

"If you make a guest unhappy while accompanying them, you will be killed."

"Were you there?" Man Jiangxue said after a moment of silence.

Yin Qiu skillfully rubbed Man Jiangxue's hair and said, "Yes."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Man Jiangxue asked again.

"Later her body was thrown into the barren hills to be fed to wild dogs." Yin Qiu's voice sank. passed."

She has seen the heat and cold of the world at a young age, and she doesn't know what she has experienced in the past.

If Senior Sister hadn't left...

Man Jiangxue sighed secretly in her heart, and said: "All hardships are rewarded, and when we arrive at Yunhua Palace, such things will never happen again."

Yin Qiu paused, thoughtfully: "Maybe there won't be one in Yunhua Palace, but there will always be in other places."

Man Jiangxue turned to look at her.

Yin Qiu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "When I learn kung fu, I will be like the heroes in those stories, eliminate the strong and help the weak, punish the evil and promote the good, and help those in need as much as I can."

Childish and innocent, with a pure and kind nature, the words he speaks contain the sincerity that adults rarely have.

Man Jiangxue showed relief, and patted her head: "Then you must remember what you said today, and always keep this innocent heart."

Yin Qiu Zheng nodded: "I will never forget!"

·

After bathing, it was completely dark outside. Candle lamps were lit in every corner of the courtyard, and lanterns were hung everywhere in the houses. The night snow fell again at some point, swirling in the faint candlelight, like It is the catkins blown by the spring breeze, and it is like the scattered dandelion seeds flying by in the valley on a summer night.

"This year's snow seems to never end." Yin Qiu stood outside the soup room, looking at the snowflakes all over the sky.

Man Jiangxue stood beside her and raised her head together with her.

Just after taking a bath, they are warm all over. Even standing in the flying snow, they don’t feel cold. Both of them are wearing similar snow-white shirts and skirts. In the hazy light and shadow, one big and one small quietly enjoy the snow scene. When they spoke again, the expressions of both of them were calm, with a little smile that even they didn't realize it.

I don't know if Ting Hao is currently falling, but it is suspected that Lin Hua bloomed last night.

Yin Qiu thought of those winter days in the past in the boundless evening snow.

At that time, Yin Qiu only felt that every winter night was so long. Occasionally, he would be woken up by freezing in the middle of the night, his whole body was cold and lonely, and there was no one to rely on. He thought in his heart, when will winter go far?

But now it's different, she has someone she can rely on, she doesn't have to go hungry or cold, she doesn't have to be frightened, and she doesn't have to worry about making a living. The transformation of Yin Qiu was something that Yin Qiu never dared to think about.

But it just happened, and the person who changed her miserable life is now with her, watching the wind and snow lingering on each other.

At this moment, Yin Qiu suddenly had some indescribably complicated emotions, mixed with the determination to forget the pain, the expectation for the future, and the wholehearted gratitude to Man Jiangxue.

She turned her head to look at Man Jiangxue cautiously, and thought in her heart: It would be great if I could stay with this person forever, is there any way to make them never separate again?

Even if it is an extravagant wish, or a short-lived illusion, if God hears her heart, can he satisfy her selfish and arrogant wish for the sake of her loneliness in the past ten years?

If she can, she is willing to stay by her side forever and try her best to follow in her footsteps. When she gets old, she will do her best to repay her and take care of her like Man Jiangxue treats her today.

Someone told her before that people are greedy, so it's not too much for her to be secretly greedy this time, right?

Yin Qiu pursed his lips, and slowly closed his eyes facing Fengxue.

"Are you making a wish?" After a while, she heard Man Jiangxue say.

"Yeah." Yin Qiu said.

"What wish did you make?" Man Jiangxue asked again.

"I won't tell you," Yin Qiu opened his eyes and smiled, "It won't work if I tell you."

"Then have you finished your promise?" Man Jiangxue put his arms around Yin Qiu's shoulders.

Yin Qiu nodded.

"It's time to go back to sleep." Man Jiangxue hugged her up.

The two entered the small building, Lu Huaiwei was waiting in the hall, led them up to the second floor, and stopped in the corridor.

"I have tidied up two rooms, which one would my junior sister want to live in?" Lu Huaiwei asked.

Hearing the inquiry, Yin Qiu subconsciously hugged Man Jiangxue tightly, a little surprised, but did not speak.

"Why don't you just use this room," Lu Huaiwei pushed away the room in front of her, "Uncle Master lives next door, the two rooms are next to each other, so it's good to have someone to take care of you."

Yin Qiu still didn't speak.

Man Jiangxue observed her expression and asked, "Don't you like it?"

The room was dark, and the lamp hadn't been lit yet. Yin Qiu only felt that there seemed to be some monster dormant in the darkness. As long as she walked in, she would be swallowed by the monster immediately.

"I...can't I live with you?" Yin Qiu said in a low voice.

"It seems that Junior Sister is afraid of the dark." Lu Huaiwei closed the door again, "Then Senior Sister will live with Junior Sister. If Senior Sister is inconvenient, disciple can also accompany Junior Sister."

"Forget it, you go to rest too, I'll be fine." Man Jiangxue said.

Lu Huaiwei responded, lit the lamps for them, and served a pot of hot tea before Shi Shiran left.

Seeing that Lu Huaiwei had left, there were only himself and Man Jiangxue left here, just like the previous few days, Yin Qiu was very happy in his heart, hanging on Man Jiangxue and refused to get off, saying: "Man Jiangxue ... Uncle Master?"

Man Jiangxue grabbed her by the collar and put her down, saying: "What?"

Yin Qiu quickly hugged Man Jiangxue's waist again, looked up at her, and said, "Can I live with you all the time?"

"No," Man Jiangxue said flatly, "If you enter Yunhua Palace, you are a new disciple. According to the rules, you have to live in the new disciple's courtyard."

Yin Qiu didn't know this, so he couldn't help but frowned and said, "But what should I do if I'm afraid? I want to be with you."

Hearing this, Man Jiangxue frowned involuntarily.

Unknowingly, Yin Qiu's dependence on her has changed from a subconscious action to a direct verbal expression, which means that her feelings for Man Jiangxue have deepened day by day, and she has already regarded her as someone she can rely on.

Yin Qiu has no parents, and has suffered a lot since then. As the younger sister who was taken care of by Shen Mandong, Man Jiangxue naturally wants to treat her well, and will try her best to heal the pain she suffered in the past, and let her feel the pain in the world. Beautiful, it can also be regarded as repaying the sisterhood with Shen Mandong.

But if Yin Qiu relies too much on her and regards her as an indispensable existence, what if the senior sister comes back one day, Yin Qiu is only close to her, but is no stranger to the senior sister?

Before coming here, the senior sister Xie Yijun had warned Man Jiangxue that if she found Yin Qiu, she would do all the business and should not pour too much emotion into her. After all, Yin Qiu is not only the daughter of Shen Mandong, but also the descendant of the villain Yin Xuan. It is impossible to know what kind of character it is, especially since it is not clear why Ziwei taught her to find her, and it takes a long time to observe it before deciding whether to cultivate it carefully.

The so-called three-year-old sees the old, if a child has misbehavior since childhood, it is really difficult to teach. Xie Yijun, as the head of the Yunhua Palace, naturally has to plan for the long-term future of Yunhua Palace. Hao Miaozi worked hard on her body, provided her with food and a place to live, and didn't have to suffer from the wind and rain, which was already the greatest face for Shen Mandong after she disappeared.

Just like before Man Jiangxue left, Xie Yijun called her to the main hall for a chat, and said at that time: "I have done my best, and I have fulfilled the master's entrustment. In the past, Man Dong was famous all over the world, and the master regarded her as the next one. The head of the sect came to cultivate, but she disregarded the sect, and left Yunhua Palace before leaving the master, ran back to Ruyi Gate to marry Yin Xuan, and took over the position of deputy sect master, without paying attention to the sect at all. Really heartless."

Man Jiangxue replied like this: "Senior Sister has never been interested in Jianghu, she has her own choice, and we can't interfere."

Xie Yijun said again: "If it wasn't for the master's last words, I wouldn't care about her child, but saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You can go here and bring her back. Don't worry about it." Hurry up, if she has the talent and awareness of Mandong, then it will be another matter."

Man Jiangxue didn't say much. Although she disagreed with Xie Yijun's words in her heart, she had to admit that her considerations were not unreasonable.

But at this moment, looking at Yin Qiu's innocent eyes, Man Jiangxue couldn't help but soften again.

She thought: a ten-year-old child just needs her and is willing to be close to her, what's wrong with that?Why guard her like an enemy?

It is too narrow to deal with a pure and transparent child with an adult's mind.

It's right to be nice to her, but you really can't spend too much time on her. Once you get used to being alone, even if it's a child, if Shen Mandong comes back to pick her up in the future, it's impossible for Man Jiangxue to be nostalgic for her, but How could she want Yin Qiu from Shen Mandong?

It is true that getting used to it is a terrible thing, and she no longer wants to get used to the existence of anyone.

·

"Why are you in a daze again?" Yin Qiu wondered, "Always lost in thought while talking, what are you thinking?"

Thoughts flew away like a kite with a broken thread, Man Jiangxue pulled back her mind, looked down at Yin Qiu and said: "The palace has palace rules, and any palace disciple must abide by them. Lord of the Peak, you can't take the lead and break the rules, and neither do you."

Yin Qiuyuan wanted to act like a baby with her, but seeing Man Jiangxue's serious expression, he withdrew a little bit of self-willedness like a child, and said, "Then I went to the New Disciple Academy, so it will be difficult to see you again. "

Man Jiangxue said: "No, I will visit you when I have time."

"Really?" Yin Qiu became happy again.

"I'm not going to lie to you," Man Jiangxue said, "I have to check your homework, so I went to Yunhua Palace, you have to study hard and learn martial arts, don't slack off."

"En!" Yin Qiu nodded heavily.

Not long after, Lu Huaiwei brought over the boiled medicine again, Yin Qiu rinsed his mouth after drinking, and got into the bed, Man Jiangxue soon lay down beside her, just like the previous nights hug her.

Smelling the fragrance of Man Jiangxue's body, Yin Qiubei felt at ease, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
