The rivers and lakes are full of vests

With a "squeak", the door opened, Shi Qi looked up at Fu Peibai who had just entered the door, "Why did it take so long to fetch water?"

Fu Peibai forced a smile, "The rope broke, and the bucket fell into the well. I fished for a long time, but I still couldn't catch it."

She thought that she must be laughing very fakely, or the excuse she made up was fake, otherwise Shi Qi would not be able to spot the clue at a glance.

Seventeen got up and walked to her, and asked softly, "Did something happen?"

With just such a soft sentence, Fu Peibai's eyes turned red. She was afraid that she could not help crying, so she hugged Shiqi quickly, swallowed the choked sobs in her throat and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

She didn't dare to say that Xing Guang died, and she didn't dare to mention the bloody truth that Xing Guang told her. She knew what it was like to live in a world made of lies. What's more, behind the lie was An unacceptable truth.

She couldn't understand why her seventeenth, such a good seventeenth, would be dragged into the abyss by these other people's dirty, ugly, and foul hatred entanglements.

Her [-]th year should obviously live in the sun, like thousands of women in the world, with a bright smile and every dazzling tomorrow.

If possible, she would rather bear all this by herself, so that Shi Qi will never know these dark things that cannot be seen.

Perhaps her strength was a little too strong, Shi Qi pushed her, "A Pei?"

Fu Peibai sniffed and let go of his hand, "It's really all right."

Shi Qi looked at her for a while, and said, "If you don't want to talk, then don't talk, but you have to understand that when you want to talk, I will always be there."

Fu Peibai's nasal cavity was sore again, he quickly lowered his head, and gave a low hum.

The next day, they didn't continue to set off. Fu Peibai was thinking about how to slow down Shi Qinghan's progress. Now, she had time to plan how to take Shiqi away under Shi Qinghan's nose.

It's not difficult to take Shiqi away, but the hard part is how to make Shiqi willingly go with her while concealing everything, and keep Shi Qinghan behind to prevent Shi Qinghan from chasing her.

She thought carefully about every step of the plan, so that she didn't notice that Shi Qi pushed the door and walked in, and she propped her chin in a daze.

When Shi Qi pushed the hot porridge in front of her, she came back to her senses and smiled unnaturally, "If you don't hurry today, why don't you sleep more?"

Shi Qi didn't answer her question, but said: "I went to find the leader, but she didn't want to see me. The emissary said that the leader is ill, and we will rest for two days before we start. Ah Pei, what are you hiding from me? ?”

The smile on Fu Peibai's face froze, she pulled the corners of her mouth to keep smiling, "No."

Shi Qi frowned, didn't ask any more questions, and started to drink the porridge quietly, the room was silent for a while.

Fu Peibai quickly finished his porridge, left the room after saying "I'll go to digest food", and Shiqi stared at the half-closed wooden door, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Outside the house, Fu Peibai had already arrived at a field, and chatted with the plowing farmer, "Old man, is there a place called Xichuan Valley fifteen miles east of here?"

The farmer returned without raising his head: "There is indeed a valley fifteen miles away, but I don't know what it's called. It's just that there are some strange flowers and weeds blooming at the mouth of the valley, and snakes and insects gather. They are all poisonous, my son. Don't go there."

"Okay, thank you, old man."

The farmer smiled bluntly, "What's the matter, but I saw a young man walking with you today, the tall one with a cold face is looking for a doctor everywhere, is any of you injured?"

Hearing this description, Fu Peibai immediately thought of the chief teacher, is he looking for a doctor?It should be because of the injury on Shi Qinghan's face.

"The old lady caught a little cold, it's nothing serious."

The farmer continued to hoe the field, while saying: "The world is not safe now, son, you should go to the capital earlier, I just heard that in the northwest, the countries of the Western Regions declared war on us, and the Western Night City They are all closed.

Also, my little granddaughter came back from the county yesterday and said that many martial arts people came from the county, clamoring about hunting down the demon cult, making the county a mess, why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life now? Woolen cloth. "

Fu Peibai twitched his ears and asked, "Old man, those martial arts people your granddaughter mentioned are from the Tianji sect?"

The farmer waved his hand, "I don't know these sects in Jianghu, I don't know what their names are, but the battle is scary."

"Then where is your little granddaughter?"

The farmer pointed to the head of the village, "Let's play there."

After Fu Peibai thanked her, he strode to the entrance of the village, and as expected, he found a ten-year-old girl under a big tree, squatting on the ground looking at the ant nest.

Fu Peibai knelt down beside her, and approached her, "What are you looking at?"

The girl glanced at her and rolled her eyes with an expression of "Are you blind".

Fu Peibai scratched his ears and cheeks, and continued: "Your grandfather said that you went to the county yesterday and saw many martial artists, do you know who they are?"

The girl replied now, but her tone was rather cold, "Why should I tell you?"

Fu Peibai hadn't had much contact with such a big child, and he was really choked up for a while.

After a while, she took out the Mingxiao sword from her waist, and said again: "Have you heard of the Mingxiao sect?"

The girl's eyes lit up suddenly, and she was finally willing to look her straight, "Of course I have."

Fu Peibai handed Mingxiao Sword to her eyes, "Then take a look, what is this?"

The girl looked down suspiciously, and whispered the two words on the hilt of the sword. After reading "Ming Xiao", she stood up abruptly and said excitedly, "Ming Xiao Sword!"

But at the next moment, she doubted again: "No way, why is the Ming Xiao Sword so common, isn't this a fake?"

Fu Peibai smiled helplessly, pulled out the Mingxiao sword, and swung it in front of the girls like a show of skill. When the sword was sheathed, leaves fell all over their heads.

The girl was stunned, she didn't speak for a long time, she stared at the Mingxiao sword in Fu Peibai's hand, showing admiration.

"If you tell me which martial arts sects you have seen in the county, I will give you the Mingxiao Sword."

The girl was so excited that she couldn't hold back, "Really, really?"

Fu Peibai nodded.

The girl patted her chest, "Okay, if you ask, I will tell you everything, and I will say everything."

"Which martial arts sects did you see when you went to the county yesterday?"

"There are quite a lot of them. There are all kinds of school uniforms, but the most are the disciples of the Tianji Sect."

Fu Peibai squinted his eyes, "Then have you seen the Sect Master of Tianji Sect?"

The girl shook her head, "How can such a big man show up easily, but I heard that he is also there, at the biggest inn in the county."

Fu Peibai pondered for a moment and said, "Well, can you do me a favor?"

"You said."

"I'll come to the village to look for you later, and then I'll talk to you in detail." Fu Peibai handed the Mingxiao Sword to the girl, "Can you use the sword?"

The girl desperately wiped her hands on her trouser legs before taking the sword, "No, my family has no money to send me to practice martial arts, so I can only pick up branches and swing around."

As she said that, she pulled out the Ming Xiao Sword, the silver light of the blade was shining brightly in the sunlight, which made her marvel.

Fu Peibai seemed to see himself in her body who used to practice martial arts at the beginning, and his heart moved with compassion, "How about I teach you two moves?"

The girl nodded again and again, "Okay, okay."

Fu Peibai took the sword and performed a set of Mingxiao swordsmanship fluently. The girl was dazzled by the sight and couldn't stop praising it.

For a whole day, Fu Peibai taught the girl how to practice swordsmanship. It was not until dusk that she closed her sword and said, "Okay, that's it for today. You are very smart, and you are a seedling of martial arts. If you are in the future," she stopped talking halfway. Living.

"What happened in the future?"

Fu Peibai patted the girl on the shoulder: "If I'm still here in the future and you still want to practice martial arts, you can come to me and I'll teach you martial arts."

The girl jumped up excitedly, "Okay, okay, I'll come to you in the future, what's your name?"

Fu Peibai was infected by the girl's emotions, and a smile rose on his face, "My name is Fu Peibai."

Afterwards, the two parted at the fork in the village. Fu Peibai walked to the house where she lived. After catching a glimpse of a shadow flashing past in the dark out of the corner of her eye, she sneered and went back to the house.

And that black shadow quickly walked towards Shi Qinghan's room.

"Master."

"Come in."

The envoy of the second teacher pushed the door open and entered, lowered his head and reported: "Fu Peibai has been teaching a girl how to practice sword at the entrance of the village today, nothing unusual."

Shi Qinghan turned his back to the Second Teaching Envoy, and said, "Understood, step back."

The second teacher turned around to leave, but his body froze when he turned around. A long sword pierced through his chest. When he tried to speak, the long sword was pulled out, and he fell to the ground clutching his chest. In sight, is the indifferent face of the teacher.

Shi Qinghan turned around, the blood hole on her face had healed, but there were red marks that were not deep or shallow, she stared at the body of the second teacher, and said harshly: "You think I don't know that you have been executed in private Meet Fu Peibai? Betray me? Then you can only pay with your life."

After finishing speaking, she kicked away the body of the second teacher, walked to the window, and stared at the deep night, "Whether Xing Guang told Fu Peibai everything or not, he will not be alive, and he will definitely ruin my affairs in the future. He must be killed." .”

"Yes."

The long teacher responded and was about to leave, but Shi Qinghan stopped him again.

"Wait a little longer, wait until tomorrow I send Shiqiu away, and then you can do it again."

"Yes."

This time the long teacher left, Shi Qinghan didn't say anything else, she just looked at the room where Fu Peibai and Shiqi were, her eyes flashed a moment of sadness, but in just a moment, the emotion that was considered weak to her disappeared. up.

The next day, Fu Peibai got up very early. She stared at the girl's figure gradually disappearing in the direction of the village towards the county town, and felt uneasy. She was sure that after seeing the note she wrote, Lu Wencheng would rush to arrest Shi Qinghan without stopping. Before that, she had to find a reason to take Shi Qi away, let them fight each other, no matter which side wins, she can take Shi Qi to hide in Xichuan Valley by this opportunity.

But the gloomy sky and the gathering dark clouds seemed to be an ominous omen, which made her feel that there would be mistakes in her plan.

She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and said to Shi Qi, "Seventeen, do you want to go out with me?"

Shi Qi glanced at her, "The leader has something to ask me, come again, it will rain today, why go out?"

Hearing this, Fu Peibai frowned, "Shi Qinghan looking for you? Did she say anything?"

"No."

Fu Peibai grabbed her wrist, his voice was tight, "Don't go."

"Why?"

"Anyway...don't go." After finishing speaking, Fu Peibai realized that his voice was a bit cold, so he softened his tone and said, "Anyway, don't go, okay? Just today, I want you to stay with me. Stay by my side."

Shi Qi broke away from her hand, and his voice was a little tired, "Apei, I know you have something to hide from me, and it is related to the leader, but if you don't want to tell it, I won't force you. The leader is injured, I have to go see Look at her, I'll come back as soon as I go, okay?"

Faced with such a helpless and gentle tone, Fu Peibai could not say a single word, she could only agree, "Okay, go early and come back early, I will wait for you."

Shi Qi smiled lightly, touched her ear, "Good boy."
