The rivers and lakes are full of vests

In the dimly lit room, it was as if a needle could be heard. Lu Qingwan's heart was beating like thunder. She didn't know why her heart was beating so hard. Is it because of Sang Yunshi's frivolous nonsense, or because the other party was so serious when she said it? expression.

She pressed her back against the cold wall, with a frightened expression on her face, "What are you talking about? We are all women."

Sang Yunshi smiled nonchalantly, "Second Miss was born in a family of aristocrats, isn't she the one who is raised in a deep boudoir with closed eyes and ears, and doesn't know that women can love each other?"

"Since ancient times, the relationship between a man and a woman has been the law of heaven. How can a woman and a woman love each other? It's just...it's just...against human relations, and the laws of heaven don't allow it."

The smile on Sang Yunshi's face faded a bit, "It's just that the two are in love with each other, what kind of crime did they commit that is beyond the law?"

Lu Qingwan's mind was muddled and her heart was in a mess. She didn't want to talk about it with Sang Yunshi, so she said vaguely, "I'm sleepy, so I'll go to sleep first."

Sang Yunshi stared at Lu Qingwan's back, and said after a long time: "Sleep, good sleep."

......

The sun was rising and the golden rooster was dawning. After Fu Peibai finished his meditation, he pushed open the door and saw Hegu standing upright with a plate in both hands. There were fine beads of sweat on his face, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there.

He Gu had a simple smile on his face, "Brother Fu, you are so angry early, next time I have breakfast."

"It's time to work." Fu Peibai said and quickly took the plate. She stared at the plate held by He Gu's other hand and asked, "Is this for the second lady?"

He Gu nodded, "Well, Wo dare not disturb Miss Lu's sleep."

"Thank you for your hard work. Go and rest first. I'll bring it to Miss Er."

He Gu pointed to the food on the dinner plate, "I don't know what Miss Lu likes, I took some wine, this is Baoguba, this is pickled fish, and a little sour soup tea, all of them are very good."

Fu Peibai saw that this dish was much richer than his own, and the young Miao man's thoughtfulness was self-evident.

"Okay, I'll bring it to Second Miss for you, she will like it."

Only then did He Gu leave contentedly.

"Dong, dong, dong." Fu Peibai knocked on Lu Qingwan's door with a dinner plate. There was no movement in the room for a while, and she was waiting to knock again, when a panicked "wait a minute" sounded from the room.

After a while, the door opened, and Lu Qingwan stood in the room with disheveled hair and a haggard face.

Fu Peibai raised the plate in his hand, "It's time to have breakfast, Second Miss, I'll bring it to your room, you go wash up first."

Just as Lu Qingwan wanted to say no, the woman on the couch who hadn't gotten up stretched out her slender white arms from under the quilt, and said lazily, "I'm just hungry, thank you Mr. Fu, put it on the table."

this voice?Fu Peibai walked into the room immediately, and met Sang Yunshi's eyes.

She was surprised: "Miss Sang? Why are you here?"

Sang Yunshi sat up, stretched her waist, the quilt slipped off her body, revealing her half-undressed upper body, Lu Qingwan caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye, rushed to the side of the couch, picked up the quilt, and put Sang Yunshi Covered from head to toe.

Lu Qingwan stroked her loose temple hair and said, "She failed to find her relatives yesterday, so she came back in the middle of the night."

Fu Peibai did not doubt that he was there, put down the plate and said: "Then you all get up and wash up and have breakfast. I will go to the entrance of the village to find the Central Plains man that the patriarch mentioned."

Lu Qingwan didn't intend to follow, she waved her hand and urged, "Go."

Fu Peibai scratched her head, always feeling that the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, but she couldn't explain why, so she opened the door and left the room.

I have to say that the air deep in the mountains is indeed fresh and pleasant. She walked on the winding stone path in the village, her heart was relaxed and her steps were brisk. Not long after, the independent building on stilts appeared in her sight, and she was about to lift her legs to walk In the past, a faint figure appeared at the entrance of the village in the distance.

Due to the distance, she could only vaguely see that the other person seemed to be a woman, and she was not dressed like a Miao.

The man walked slowly towards the village, getting closer and closer, until he finally reached the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, and Fu Peibai was able to see his face clearly.

Her eyes narrowed suddenly, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face, and she ran to the gate of the village.

"Seventeen! Seventeen!" Fu Peibai shouted while running, and ran to the woman in white after a while.

Panting heavily, she couldn't hide the excitement on her face, "You, why are you back?"

Seventeen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "My friend's family has already moved back to the Central Plains. I thought you would also go back to the Central Plains, so I thought I would return with you at that time. You don't mind, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind."

After Fu Peibai finished speaking, he snatched Shiqi's luggage and led her to the halfway up the mountain, "Come on, let's have breakfast first, you must be very hungry if you came back so early."

"it is good."

Along the way, Fu Peibai babbled about what happened after they entered the Miao village, and Shiqi listened quietly with a smile on his lips.

Not long after, the two returned to Sima Tuo's stilted building, just in time for Lu Sang and the two who had finished their breakfast.

The four of them faced each other on the promenade, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

In the end, it was Fu Peibai who broke the silence and took the initiative to explain: "Miss Seventeen's friend's family has moved back to the Central Plains, so she plans to return to the Central Plains together after we finish our business. The journey is far away, and there are many people on the way to take care of them."

Lu Qingwan sneered, glanced at Sang Yunshi who was beside her, and said with a strange air: "It's really a coincidence that you two came together to look for relatives and friends, but nothing came of it. What a coincidence."

Sang Yunshi is thick-skinned, she laughed and said: "It's really a coincidence, it seems that I have a close relationship with Miss Seventeen."

"Okay, okay, I'll take Miss Seventeen to have breakfast first, Second Miss, if you have nothing else to do, take Miss Sang to the stockade for a stroll, we're going to stay here for a while, it's better to be familiar with each other good."

Lu Qingwan walked to Shiqi's side and said coldly, "Excuse me."

Shi Qi smiled and turned sideways, letting Lu Qingwan and Sang Yunshi get off the stilted building.

"You know Miss Er's temper, so don't argue with her."

Shi Qi said indifferently: "She is the second young lady of your family, so naturally I won't argue with her, lest you get caught in the middle."

"Uh... eat first."

Fu Peibai took Shiqi into his room, and the untouched breakfast was a little cold, "I'll go and heat it up."

"No need." After Shi Qi finished speaking, he took a sip of the warm porridge.

"How's the news going?"

Fu Peibai wasn't hungry at first, but when he saw Seventeen sipping porridge, he also had an appetite. He picked up a piece of cake and ate it, and replied: "People here know the miasma valley where Lingxiaohua is, and Zhonglicao is just right." As for the person I am looking for, there is no clue yet, but I heard from the patriarch here that there is a Central Plains man living at the entrance of the village, so I just wanted to find out about him."

"Then I'll go with you later."

Fu Peibai's chewing movement paused, and a bright smile rose from the corner of her mouth, "Okay." After she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of half of the head poking in from the outside of the room, accidentally choked on a mouthful of cake, coughed hastily, and swelled up. flushed.

Shi Qi got up and patted her back, angrily said: "How old are you, eat slowly."

Fu Peibai picked up a cup of tea and drank it, "It's all right." Then he waved to the door, "Brother Hegu, what are you doing there? Come in."

He Gu also knew that he had accidentally scared Fu Peibai, he walked into the room with a self-blame expression on his face, "Hold me, Brother Fu."

"It's okay, it's just what are you looking at there? Do you need me?"

He Gu glanced at Shiqi secretly, then hurriedly looked away, "I just haven't seen this girl before, so I looked silly for a while."

Fu Peibai smiled, "This is a good friend of mine, and he will live here with us in the future. I have to trouble you to clean up two more rooms, and there is another girl who has to stay."

"Oh oh oh, no problem, just now I saw that girl, she is really pretty, of course, the girl is pretty and beautiful now." He Gu finished speaking slowly, his cheeks turned red.

This was the first man Fu Peibai met who admired Shi Qi's appearance without any other considerations, which made her feel more fond of this simple and straightforward Miao guy.

"By the way, Brother Hegu, do you know the Central Plains man who lives at the entrance of the village? I went to find him last night, and an old man told me that the man is in the mountains. When will he come back?"

"I know a little bit, he is a blacksmith, and sometimes he helps the nest to make some iron tools. He went to the mountains to find iron ore the day before yesterday, and he should be back tomorrow."

Southwest Gu domain, blacksmiths, Central Plains people...

Duan Wushou!

Fu Peibai excitedly said: "Is that person surnamed Duan?"

He Gu shook his head, "I don't know, he never told the nesters his name, and the nesters all called him Tie LaoMan."

Fu Peibai was now [-]% certain that this person should be Duan Wushou, the master swordsmith who escaped from the Central Plains and lived in seclusion.

Seeing that the three things have been settled, the joy on her face is obvious, "Thank you, Brother Hegu."

He Gu chuckled, "It's okay."

At this time, melodious and long Miao folk songs sounded outside the window, accompanied by the thick and simple sound of ox horns, resounding through the entire Miao Village.

Fu Peibai raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the matter?"

He Gu suppressed his smile, showing a solemn expression on his face, "Today is the day to untie the dustpan in the village, and wine is an annual ceremony to sacrifice to the head of the clan."

"Brother Fu, let's go first."

"it is good."

Fu Peibai sent He Gu away, turned around and went back to the house to sit down. Seeing Shi Qi staring at her, she thought she had food crumbs stuck to her face, so she touched it, but there was no.

"what happened?"

Shi Qi braced his chin, blinked his slender phoenix eyes gently, and uttered two words, "Curiosity."

Knowing what she was talking about, Fu Peibai hesitated and said: "This is not good, we are foreigners, if we break a taboo and disturb the ceremony of offering sacrifices to our ancestors, it would be bad."

Shi Qi grabbed her sleeve and shook it gently, "No, the head of this Miao tribe is originally a Han, so how could he reject his fellow tribe members? Let's go and see."

Fu Peibai swallowed, and said shyly, "Okay...you let go first."
