The rivers and lakes are full of vests

The revelation of Fu Peibai's stealing from her teacher and the confiscation of the "cheat books" made her feel a little depressed, and her face was depressed when she just went up the mountain. Meng Yan couldn't see her like this, so he found a day to put himself He brought out two bottles of good wine from his collection, and told Fu Peibai to meet him by the river in the evening.

The river he was talking about was actually a stream on the mountain where men used to bathe, while women had their own bathrooms.

However, Fu Peibai has never bathed here. Due to her real identity, she has always directly refused those who enthusiastically invited her to take a bath together. Further upstream by the stream, I simply wiped my body and let it go.

When the two arrived at the river that day, it was just the setting sun, and the red clouds reflected the stream red, and men in twos and threes had already gathered inside, rubbing each other's backs. When Fu Peibai first saw the naked backs of these men, he was still The eyelids would twitch, and now it's no surprise.

Meng Yan led her to sit down on the shore a little further away, picked up two jars of wine, quickly peeled off the wine seal, and handed over one jar.

Fu Peibai didn't answer, and said honestly: "I don't know how to drink, Brother Meng."

"How can this be done? It's okay for a man who doesn't know how to drink, come here, take it," Meng Yan said, forcing the wine jar into her arms.

Fu Peibai sighed quietly, and did not refuse again.

"You boy, have you been on your mind recently?" He asked after taking a sip of his wine.

Fu Peibai shook his head, took a small sip of the wine tentatively, his nose was pungent and pungent, and his brows immediately wrinkled.

Meng Yan suggested, "Try again, one mouthful will make you happy, and two mouthfuls will never forget you."

Fu Peibai hesitated for a while, she was really in a bad mood recently, she felt a little bit like drinking to relieve her sorrow, so she raised her head and took a big sip, the strong alcohol made her facial features wrinkle.

Meng Yan let out a hearty laugh, and drank a big gulp of wine himself, letting out a hearty applause.

"I said, if you have something on your mind, just say it, don't hold it back. Although I'm a rough person, I don't know how to speak or comfort others, but it's okay to listen to your complaints and complaints."

Fu Peibai looked at the gurgling stream, and her gaze became erratic. After a long time, she said, "I first came here to learn martial arts."

Meng Yan raised his eyebrows, indicating to continue.

"But I can't do anything right now."

"Why do you want to learn martial arts?"

Fu Peibai turned his head and stared straight at him with those dark and deep eyes, "Revenge."

Meng Yan frowned with thick eyebrows, and said seriously: "Hatred never ends, if revenge becomes the only purpose of your life now, then you can think about what you should do if you get revenge in the future, the dead are gone , those who are alive should learn to let go and live well."

Fu Peibai raised his voice, his expression agitated, "What do you know?! You haven't experienced that kind of pain, so don't lightly persuade others to let go of their hatred."

Meng Yan clenched his fists tightly, his expression changed several times, and finally he returned to calm, "I just don't want you to step into the abyss of hatred and never get out again."

Fu Peibai took a sip of strong wine in silence, she closed her eyes, the scene of her parents and brother cuddling together was burned into her mind like a soldering iron, how could she let go of this monstrous blood feud, every midnight dreamed, countless This nightmare made her breathless.

She hates the people in Huailiu Village, hates those murderers, and even more hates herself for being powerless and surviving. Since going up the mountain for half a month, whenever she feels happy, the scenes of her parents and younger brother being victimized will suddenly break into her mind , She was so guilty, so guilty that she had no face to face. Her close relative died tragically under Huangquan, but she was still living so contentedly, unable to kill blood feud with her hands. How could she have the face to meet her parents and younger brother under Jiuquan.

"Xiaobai, you...", just as Meng Yan was about to continue, a little boy jumped up and down in the distance, interrupting their conversation.

The boy was the one who looked like Jia Xu, and even had the character Jia in his name, Huo Jiaran, and because of this reason, Fu Peibai was very close to him.

"Uncle Meng, Brother Ngai", the boy just came out of the water, wearing a pair of big pants that didn't fit well, and his thin body was bare.

Fu Peibai waved at him with a gentle tone, "Isn't it cold?"

The boy walked up to Fu Peibai obediently, and laughed out his little canine teeth. "It's not cold." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Meng Yan again, "Uncle Meng, I want candy."

Meng Yan slapped his butt dun'er not lightly, "I still eat! My teeth are almost eaten away by moths, do you want to lose all your teeth like Grandpa Qin at a young age?"

Huo Jiaran pursed his mouth, and said unhappily: "No way!"

"Uncle Meng is so stingy!"

"If you don't give me candy, I'll go and tell the peak owner that you're hiding wine again." Huo Jia finished speaking angrily, then turned to Fu Peibai and said, "Don't worry, brother Apei, I won't report you. "

Fu Peibai narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Stinky boy, go, go, I'm afraid you won't succeed, don't threaten me with this, you are going to inform the peak master, and then you don't even want to eat candy."

Huo Jiaran felt wronged, tears rolled in his eyes.

Fu Peibai touched his head and comforted him: "Let's not eat today, okay? When I have a chance to go down the mountain to buy things in the future, can I bring you back candied haws?"

Children are the best coaxers, they smile immediately.

"go to play."

Seeing Huo Jiaran running away happily twisting his buttocks, Meng Yan praised: "You really know how to coax children."

The smile on Fu Peibai's face faded, she picked up a stone and floated it into the stream, and performed a beautiful quadruple jump, "I used to coax my younger brother, he has a very similar personality to Jiaran."

Meng Yan didn't answer, although he didn't know what kind of accident Fu Peibai had experienced to come to the mountain, but the extremely firm determination to revenge must have something to do with his family.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Fu Peibai said casually: "I don't know, I'm going to live on for now, and when I don't want to live, I can find a quiet place to bury myself."

"Oh, what are you talking about? How young are you? In the future, you will have a lot of time to experience the beauty of the world, live well, find a beautiful wife, have a big fat son, and enjoy family happiness, you Think about it more, don't talk about life and death all day long."

Fu Peibai couldn't listen at all, she drank wine for a while, her eyes blurred, "You know what? Brother Meng, I have no relatives, none of them, I am the only one left in this world, life and death , I think life is meaningless, do you understand? I have no way to avenge them, so what am I living for?"

A mere 16-year-old boy at this moment seems to be an old man in his sixties who has gone through many vicissitudes. Looking at this scene, Meng Yan couldn't say anything to make the other party want to say anything. He took a sip and asked seriously: "Is it necessary to take revenge?" ?”

Fu Peibai's blurred eyes became clearer, and he said loudly, "This life must be rewarded."

Meng Yan stared at the young man's resolute face, closed his eyes after a while, opened them again, and said very seriously: "Okay, I will help you."

Fu Peibai was a little surprised, "How can you help me?"

"You don't have to worry about it. I've said that I can help you, but you have to promise me that the way to practice martial arts is to eliminate the strong and help the weak. You must not be blinded by hatred and lose your original intention."

Fu Peibai didn't know how Meng Yan could help her, but she had no other choice, she didn't want to let go of any chance, so she nodded solemnly, "Okay."

Meng Yan's expression relaxed, he raised the wine jar and raised it, Fu Peibai raised the wine jar to touch him knowingly, the two looked at each other and smiled, and took a sip.

At the end of the drink, both of them were a little drunk. After Meng Yan was drunk, he belonged to the one who talked a lot. He yelled nonsense, which made Fu Peibai's ears hurt. Although Fu Peibai could still walk straight, his head was still dizzy. With the last trace of soberness, he dragged and dragged the eight-foot man back to the house.

She exhausted herself and lay down on her floor, feeling dizzy and dizzy, but the faint smell of sweat on the tip of her nose woke her up a little. Her back was wet with sweat, and the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of alcohol went straight to her nose, making her want to retch.

She shook her head, patted her face again, picked up a change of clothes and left the room lightly, and arrived at her own bathing place, but out of caution, she just took off her coat and wore a thin layer of underwear. clothes into the brook.

The stream water is cool and refreshing. Ever since she started taking the medicine that old man Wen prescribed for her, her body temperature has often been out of balance. Sometimes she feels dry and hot, and sometimes she feels cold.

Tonight is a day when the moon is thin, and most of her body is immersed in the stream water, her body temperature drops rapidly, but she is used to it, and even likes it a little, because the cold stream water can calm down her irritable heart.

She unbuttoned her jacket and corset for a while and wiped her body. After the washing was almost done, she was about to put on her belt when she heard a cold female voice from the shore, "Why are you here?"

The voice was so familiar, she felt the drunkenness subside in an instant, she subconsciously walked towards the deep water area, submerged her whole body underwater, only her head was exposed, then turned around slowly, looking at the white figure on the shore, He said stiffly: "Returning to Peak Master, I'm taking a bath..."

"I know, I'm asking why you are here alone late at night. As far as I know, men from the back mountain usually bathe downstream."

Fu Peibai's brain was running fast, and then he said something that silenced both of them for an instant.

"I, I like the water here better. Yes, the water here is more comfortable to wash in." After finishing speaking, she picked up a handful of water and sprinkled it.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, Fu Peibai withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and squatted silently in the water.

A nightingale chirping broke the silence.

"How long are you going to soak?"

Fu Peibai didn't turn the corner for a while, "Huh?"

The other party didn't explain, and just stood there by the stream. Only then did she have a vague idea in her heart. Could it be that the peak master is waiting for me to go back together?

So she asked cautiously: "Peak Lord, can you turn around?"

"Why?"

"I'll go ashore and get dressed."

The other party was silent for a while, and it is not difficult to guess that the woman must also feel that Fu Peibai, a man, is actually tweaking so much.

Seeing the other party turn around, Fu Peibai swished in the water for a while, wrapped her corset and put on her underwear, and quickly went ashore to put on her coat. When she was getting dressed, Lu Yanran also turned around just in time and saw that she was soaking wet The skirt of the clothes, eyebrows slightly raised, "Are you bathing with clothes on?"

Fu Peibai couldn't explain it, so he said sloppily: "Just wash the clothes, it's convenient, convenient, haha."

Lu Yanran didn't ask any further questions, and was about to turn around and leave when there was faint smell of alcohol coming from her nose, so she stopped and said softly, "Come forward."

Fu Peibai opened his eyes slightly, puzzled.

"Two steps forward."

In fact, the distance between the two is not far, about the distance of two or three people, if you take a few steps forward, the distance will be too close.

But Fu Peibai didn't dare to disobey the peak master's order, so he could only bite the bullet and take two small steps forward.

Now the distance between the two is getting closer, leaving only two palms away, Fu Peibai smells the familiar light fragrance, and Lu Yanran naturally smells the rich aroma of wine on Fu Peibai's body, she immediately frowned and said coldly: "You've been drinking ?”

Fu Peibai's heart skipped a beat, and she looked over subconsciously, looking straight into the woman's glazed eyes. This was the first time she had seen Lu Yanran's facial features at such a close distance. She is extremely beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows, fair and delicate face.

Seeing that Fu Peibai was suddenly inspired, Lu Yanran said displeasedly, "Speak up."

"Ah, oh, yes, I, I was drinking, I was wrong, please punish the peak master", Fu Peibai was surprised that he was stunned, he quickly took two steps back, bowed his head and asked for punishment.

"Where did you get the wine?"

"..."

Naturally, Fu Peibai couldn't confess Meng Yan, so he could only keep silent.

"Alcohol is strictly prohibited under the peak rules, but you commit the crime knowingly, how do you think you should be punished?"

"But it will be punished by the peak master."

Lu Yanran looked up at the young man's fearless expression for a year, and asked, "But is it based on punishment?"

Fu Peibai nodded, his face was calm and innocent, but his heart was very disturbed.

Lu Yanran turned around and walked forward, leaving behind a sentence, "Then I owe you first."

Fu Peibai was stunned for a moment, then trotted to follow, and the two of them walked along the forest path one after the other.

For a while, the two were silent, Fu Peibai quietly looked at the woman's back, the moonlight reflected on the white dress, and the evening wind blew by, she suddenly felt that the back was thin and a little lonely.

She summoned up the courage to speak, "Peak Master, why are you here alone late at night, where is Miss Afu?"

Lu Yanran didn't respond at the first moment, but replied after a long time: "Insomnia and upset, just walk around to relax."

The woman's voice was as cool as the night, and Fu Peibai opened his mouth, wanting to ask why he suffered from insomnia, but after thinking about it, he seemed a bit out of line, so he closed his mouth.

Soon, the two walked to the backyard, Lu Yanran stopped, "Go."

Fu Peibai clenched his fist, and when the woman turned around, he said nervously: "Peak Master, thank you."

Lu Yanran had some doubts on his face, and his slender eyebrows were slightly frowned.

Fu Peibai stared at the ground, her voice was quiet but she said very seriously, "Thank you for saving me, thank you for giving me a chance, thank you for your help, in short, thank you very much, Peak Master", after finishing speaking, she He raised his head and looked at Lu Yanran with burning eyes.

Lu Yanran was a little unnatural to see those dark eyes. It was these eyes, the first time I saw him in the cellar, the blood on this person's face was filthy. Only these clear eyes seemed to be able to seduce people. He stretched out his hand and pulled the boy up from the darkness.

"Peak Master, you saved my life, so naturally it is yours. I will do anything you ask me to do in the future."

The young man's sincere gaze shone brightly in the hazy night.

Lu Yanran looked at her through the light of night, and said after a while: "Go to sleep."

"it is good."
