The rivers and lakes are full of vests

"Come on, we brothers will not return today if we are not drunk."

Meng Yan picked up the wine bowl and drank heavily, not caring about the presence of children to restrain himself a little.

Fu Peibai took a sip from the wine glass he used, and then picked up the food for Ni Zhi.

Meng Yan looked at this scene and let out a muffled laugh, "I don't know, I really think this little girl is your daughter."

Fu Peibai smiled, and Meng Yan said again: "Come on, let me tell you how the past few months have been going?"

The smile on Fu Peibai's face faded. Since Ni Zhi was present, it was inconvenient for her to speak in detail, so she picked important things and briefly mentioned them.

After hearing this, Meng Yan's face became serious. He never expected that Fu Peibai would encounter so many accidents and incidents this time when he went down the mountain.

"That Seventeen, do you believe what she said?"

Fu Peibai was silent, she didn't deliberately hide Shi Qi's matter from Meng Yan, even what Shi Qi said to her in the end.But she couldn't answer Meng Yan at this moment, and she didn't want to discuss this question, so she changed the subject and said, "Where are A Ruo and Ding Yi?"

"Ah Ruo went to pick herbs, Ding..." At this point, Meng Yan paused, his expression became a little strange, "Ding Yi is no longer from Chaoquanfeng."

Fu Peibai was startled, thinking that something happened to Ding Yi, and quickly asked: "What happened? What happened to him?"

Meng Yan frowned heavily, "It's nothing, he's working under Qingliao Peak, the suzerain."

Fu Peibai was about to ask why, when the door opened with a "squeak", and a young man wearing a gold-embroidered gown with crescent moon pattern strode into the room. The other half of the face exposed by the mask is handsome and extraordinary.

Fu Peibai stared at him blankly, forgetting to get up to greet him.

This handsome young man is Ding Yi who has changed his appearance. He walked up to Fu Peibai with obvious joy on his face, "Apei, you are back."

Fu Peibai stood up, "You..." Before he finished speaking, Ding Yi embraced him.

"Going out for so long really made me think hard."

Her hand was still hanging in the air, and then she laughed, "Okay, I've only been down the mountain for three months, not three years, and you're all so exaggerated."

Ding Yi let go of his hand, looked at Fu Peibai, and said, "Why do you feel so haggard?"

Fu Peibai waved his hand, "It's nothing, but you... seem to be a different person."

Hearing this, Ding Yi smiled heartily. He walked around twice in front of Fu Peibai with his head held high, and asked, "How am I doing now? Maybe I'm compared to those brothers from aristocratic families?"

Fu Peibai was not quite used to Ding Yi's current appearance for a while, and always felt that besides the change in appearance, there seemed to be something different about him from before, but he couldn't tell what it was for a while.

"Of course you are better than those dude brothers."

Ding Yi seemed to be very happy when he heard this, and he smiled all over his face, "Hey, where did this kid come from?"

As soon as Fu Peibai walked to Ni Zhi's side, Ni Zhi grabbed her hand. She turned her head to look, and Ni Zhi was hiding behind her, looking at Ding Yi timidly.

Fu Peibai patted her head and said: "This is a little girl I met by chance when I was going down the mountain to practice. There were some accidents on the way, and my family was gone, so I brought her back."

Ding nodded, and knelt down to touch Ni Zhi's head, but Ni Zhi turned his head away. He withdrew his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "This kid is quite shy."

Meng Yan hummed twice, "That's right, this little girl only recognizes Xiaobai."

"Okay, don't stand up, sit down, wait until the dishes are cold."

Several people sat down, Meng Yan added wine to Ding Yiye, the three of them chatted for a while, most of the topics at the dinner table revolved around Fu Peibai's going down the mountain and chatting, unknowingly, two hours passed, and night fell.

Ni Zhi had been sleepy for a long time, leaning on Fu Peibai's arm, her small eyelids were opening and closing, but she was still reluctant to fall asleep.

Fu Peibai lowered his voice and said to Meng Yan: "Brother Meng, please take Zhi'er to my room to sleep, I have something to tell Ding Yi."

Meng Yan is naturally happy, just afraid that this little girl will not be happy.

"Zhi'er, brother still has something to tell this brother, can you go to sleep with Uncle Meng first?"

Ni Zhi rubbed her eyes, maybe because of the rabbit candy Meng Yan gave her, she was no longer afraid of this uncle who looked a little fierce and scary, she nodded slightly, and walked to Meng Yan's side.

Seeing the little girl's obedient appearance, Meng Yan felt his heart melt. He quickly wiped off the oil stains on his trouser legs, and then held Ni Zhi's hand tightly.

After Meng Yan took Ni Zhi out of the room, Fu Peibai became serious, looked at Ding Yi and asked cautiously: "Ding Yi, what happened during the past few months when I went down the mountain? You and the suzerain..."

Ding Yi suppressed his smile, drank a glass for himself, played with a jade wrench with his fingers, and asked with deep eyes: "A Pei, do you know how much such a small thing is worth?"

Fu Peibai was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Ding Yi mentioned this, but Ding Yi didn't seem to be really asking her, so he quickly asked himself and answered, "Such a jade wrench is worth 500 taels of silver. Yangcheng bought a large piece of land and a house, and even bought a few slaves, if I could have such a thing earlier, my mother would not have died of illness."

"Ding Yi......."

"A Pei, do you know who gave me this thing? And this mask, all my outfits, all from one person."

Fu Peibai's throat slid. Of course she knew who it was, but she couldn't speak.

Ding Yi sneered, took off the jade wrench finger, threw it into the wine glass, and swung out a piece of sake, "My whole body, from head to toe, is the well-known model of righteousness praised by everyone in the world, and our Tianji sect admires it very much My lord suzerain gifted it to me, guess why he did this?"

After he finished asking, he laughed so hard that the fine creases at the corners of his eyes rolled out, "In this world, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that our Qingfengmingyue Sect Master Lu actually had a prostitute's son, perhaps even he himself would not have thought of it. I actually left such a wicked seed in the world, and it became a stain on his life."

Looking at Ding Yi's appearance, Fu Peibai felt bored in her heart. She grabbed Ding Yi's wrist and tried to calm him down, "Ding Yi, calm down. The suzerain must be guilty of treating you like this right now. Try to make it up to you, he wasn't a good husband, but he might be a good father."

Ding Yi stopped laughing and said in a deep voice: "I have no way to forgive him. If it weren't for him, my mother would not have died, and I would not have been displaced since childhood and tasted all the suffering in the world. How proud he is now, my mother would not have died." How miserable and lonely he was when he died. Everything he got now was obtained by abandoning his wife and children!

I really want the world to see who is the model of righteousness that they praise and praise. He can abandon everything for power and status. This is what they call an honest gentleman, a bullshit gentleman, it's ridiculous!ridiculous! "

After Ding Yi roared, he covered his face in pain. While his shoulders were trembling slightly, warm tears spilled from his fingers.

This kind of Ding Yi is unfamiliar, and Fu Peibai can't associate this young man who is crying bitterly with that man who is always nonchalantly smiling frivolously.

She knew that Ding Yi didn't need anyone to comfort him at this moment, he just wanted to confide and vent these unknown pains, and she just needed to sit here quietly with him.

In the quiet room, there was only the young man's subdued cry. After a long time, the sound gradually disappeared. Ding Yi raised his head and looked at Fu Peibai in confusion, "A Pei, I should hate him, right? I should hate him for the rest of my life." Right, but... why, I can't hate it, when he looked at me kindly, when he personally gave me the name of Yuangui, when he taught me to read, write and practice martial arts During practice, at these times, I always feel that he really feels ashamed of me, he really loves me as a son, I can't hate him, why? Why?!"

"Obviously I should hate him. My mother died because of his illness. I don't even have a cemetery. It's all because of him. I should expose his true colors, ruin his reputation, and make him pay the price, but I can't. , I can’t do it! Ah Pei, I’m going to be tortured like crazy!”

Fu Pei stood up briskly, she leaned over and held Ding Yi's shoulders, stared into his eyes and said: "Ding Yi, I understand, I understand, listen to me, you don't have to push yourself into this situation, My aunt also hopes that you can live well under the nine springs. You can do what you want, follow your heart, and don’t force yourself if you can’t hate it. After all, the suzerain is your biological father. Blood is thicker than water. I want you to let go Let go of the past, let go of yourself, and live a good life.”

After Fu Peibai finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and the hand holding Ding Yi's shoulder trembled imperceptibly. What Seventeen said about Lu Wencheng that night flashed back in his mind. If it is true, How should she face Ding Yi in the future, how will she choose between friends and hatred.

Ding Yi calmed down slowly, raised his head, and said solemnly: "A Pei, thank you."

Fu Peibai forced a smile, "There is nothing to say thank you, we are friends."

Ding Yi hugged her together, and relaxed his tense body as if relieved, "You are my best friend in this life, forever."

Fu Peibai closed her eyelids halfway, her dark eyes looked quiet and deep under the dim candlelight, she raised her hand and patted Ding Yi's back, and replied softly: "You are also my forever friend."

......

The night was heavy and foggy, Fu Peibai sent Ding Yi away who was drunk, and then went to see Ni Zhi who was sleeping soundly. She lit up the stove in the house a bit, and then went to open the closed window a little to let in air. Opening the window a little bit, a gust of cold wind came in, which woke her slightly sober mind.

A crystal clear snowflake landed on the back of her hand, she froze for a moment, the snowflake quickly melted, leaving only a little bit of cold snow water left.

She walked out of the room quickly, and found that the sky had already been covered with snow, the dead tree branches not far away were covered with snow, and the sky and the earth were full of frost.

Without the slightest hesitation, she raised her legs and came to the small building in the forest, but after leaving March, the small bamboo forest courtyard remained unchanged, still standing quietly in the night, the dim light of the street lamps enveloped the entire courtyard, It seemed gentle and quiet.

She walked slowly against the flying snow, and finally stopped in front of the fence outside the courtyard.

Looking at the room, the lights inside had already been turned off. She wasn't quite sure whether the peak master had left the customs, but standing here at this moment, she had a strange feeling that the peak master was inside the house.

She leaned against the fence, relaxed her body, and slowly calmed down in her heart.

Too many things happened in the past few months when she went down the mountain, and she had a lot of troubles in her heart. She was not good at talking to others, so these things could only be suppressed in her heart, but her heart was depressed and it was difficult to calm down. Until now, Only then did she find a brief moment of peace.

This small courtyard, and the person in the small courtyard, are her only peaceful place in this complicated world.

She leaned against the fence, and felt sleepy, but she didn't want to leave, so she sat down, propped her chin, and looked at the dark room with her eyelids open and closed.

It was snowing heavily, and it didn't take long for her head to be covered with a layer of white snow, and a few pieces of silver frost hung on her eyebrows. The whole person remained motionless in the snow, like an ice sculpture.

Because of the positive internal energy she practiced, she couldn't feel the coldness, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep while sitting.

After she let out a long and shallow breath, the originally dark room in the courtyard was lit with dim candlelight, and then there was a creak, the door opened, and the white skirt appeared in the snowy night.

Lu Yanran slowly walked towards the person sitting on the ground holding a green umbrella with bamboo bones.

Fu Peibai put down her whole body guard and fell into a deep sleep, not even noticing that someone walked up to her.

Lu Yanran put the umbrella on top of Fu Peibai's head, then squatted down, staring at the other's clear and handsome face, she stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Fu Peibai's cheek, but at the moment of touching Fu Peibai's cheek, her fingertips trembled slightly, the next moment He took it back.

Shi Qi can do this, but "Lu Yanran" can't.

The white figure quickly disappeared into the vast night. The frail young man sitting on the ground was still deeply asleep, but a thick white velvet cloak was already draped over his shoulders that were still empty just now.
