The rivers and lakes are full of vests

The next day, Fu Peibai got up early, and went to the Deji Hall in the city with a bamboo basket on her back. When she arrived, because it was still early, the store hadn't opened yet, so she stood there like a pole. The door creaked open after the bell, and the sleepy clerk at the medicine hall saw her, patted her and yawned, "Hey, don't stand still, come in."

Fu Peibai turned around and went in, took out the order from his arms, and handed it over without saying a word. The clerk took the order, then raised his eyes and looked at him quietly. Which family's boy.

The reason why the clerk didn't regard Fu Peibai as a beggar was because she had changed her attire. Although it was still coarse linen, she was wearing old man Wen's clean clothes, which were a little too big. After she got it, she cut it out herself. Tightened the cuffs and trouser legs, made a full body bunt, and then wrapped it in a corset. Most of the hair of Luan Sushou was cut off, and the rest was tied up and tied into a short ponytail on the back of the head. Although the injury on his face was still there, the redness and swelling had faded, revealing his heroic facial features.

According to the list, the clerk quickly picked out the corresponding herbs, put them on the table one by one, and asked, "How much do you want, little brother?" After speaking, the clerk went to see the big bamboo cage she was carrying, feeling happy Haha, thinking about how lucky I am today, it was a good start at the beginning of the class.

As a result, Fu Peibai just stared at these herbs in silence, glanced over one by one and said "no need", then turned and left the shop.

The clerk stood there in a daze, and after a while, he yelled at Fu Peibai's retreating back.

Two hours later, Fu Peibai arrived at the Zhangming Mountain that the old man Wen mentioned.

The mountains were overgrown with weeds, so it was quite difficult to find all the herbs. Thanks to her good memory, although there were more than a dozen kinds of herbs on the medicine list, she memorized them one by one. , the bamboo basket was already full, it was getting late, the sun was setting in the west, and it was about to set. She returned to the official road and walked towards Xingyang City, thinking about a little more than a month while walking How to train.

As she was walking, she suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front of her. It seemed that a large group of horses was coming. She hurriedly stood on the side of the road, ready to wait for the horses to pass before leaving.

The sound of horseshoes was approaching. She lowered her head and stared at her straw sandals. A team of horses passed by her in a mighty manner. The sound of the rolling wheels of the carriage sounded in her ears, and the familiar aroma wafted in the wind.

She looked up suddenly, and the horse team had already gone away, and she could only glimpse the carriage in the middle of the team, and the white gauze curtain that swayed in the wind.

it's them.

Fu Peibai recognized it. She looked at the afterimage of the cavalry in the distance, and only after she could no longer see it, she walked towards Xingyang City.

When she returned to old man Wen's courtyard, she saw old man Wen took a thin willow stick and drove Ding Yi to hide in the courtyard. Old man Wen beat and scolded: "I beat you with dirty hands and feet, beat you!" You die!"

There was a scene of "chicken flying and dog jumping" in the courtyard.

Seeing Fu Peibai standing at the door, Ding Yi quickly hid behind her as if seeing a rescuer, and shouted loudly, "I told you I didn't steal it! Why don't you believe me, old man!"

The old man Wen stopped, and he was also very angry, his chest heaved violently, "Come out and see if I don't interrupt your hands and feet, Miss Fu, give way, don't cover him, this man has hands and feet , To actually do some shitty things one day, this old man must clean him up!"

Fu Peibai didn't move, turned his head to look at Ding Yi with an innocent face, and said, "Uncle Wen, or listen to his explanation first, if you really did something illegal and disciplined, it won't be too late to fight."

Wen old man dropped the willow stick, hated that iron could not be made into steel, "Say it!"

Ding Yi came out from behind Fu Peibai, and said in an aggrieved tone, "I said I didn't steal it. The wine and the meat were left over from the banquet where the master of Zhang's family welcomed his daughter-in-law in the south of the city. I have a little friendship with the cook there, so he will Give it to me, I really didn’t steal it.”

The old man Wen squinted his eyes, "Really?"

Ding a little like pounding garlic.

Fu Peibai recalled and said: "He probably didn't lie. I walked out of the city this morning through the South Gate. On the way, I saw a large family with red cages hanging high. It should be the Zhang family he mentioned."

With Fu Peibai's testimony, the old man Wen naturally no longer doubted, but he couldn't bear to apologize to a brat, so he could only cough twice in embarrassment, "Okay, I trust Miss Fu, let me let go this time." over you."

Ding Yi heaved a sigh of relief, ran into the room and waved, "Come in, we will have a good meal tonight."

Fu Peibai put down the bamboo basket and went into the house with old man Wen. The table was already full of delicious food and even two jugs of good wine.

Ding Yi said cheerfully: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's all clean, it hasn't been touched by anyone, it's left over from the kitchen."

The old man Wen didn't say anything, but his eyes lit up when he saw the wine jar.

The three of them sat down, tacitly did not speak much, and the meal was overwhelming.Half an hour later, full of wine and food, Ding Yi and the old man Wen leaned on the back of the chair and stroked their stomachs, belching from alcohol, moving neatly like two grandparents.

Fu Peibai didn't drink much, so he only drank a few cups, his dark cheeks turned a little red.

The day in May was still not hot, and the evening breeze was very pleasant. Fu Peibai looked at the swaying willow tree outside the courtyard, and was slightly lost in thought.

"What are you thinking? Xiaobai", Ding Yi had two blushes on his face, and his teeth were gaped in a smile, full of foolishness.

Fu Peibai frowned slightly, and slowly uttered two words: "I miss home."

Even though Ding Yi was three points drunk, he knew that there was no room for jokes at this moment. Seeing that Fu Peibai was in a low mood, he took the initiative to comfort him: "I don't have a family member, Xiaobai, so I understand how you feel, but the dead are gone, the living One must live a good life, and your family will definitely hope that you live a healthy and happy life in the underworld."

Fu Peibai lowered his head, sighed softly, "Thank you, Ding Yi."

"It's okay, I really feel that I have a close affinity with you, and I want to be friends with you."

Fu Peibai didn't answer, looked at Ding Yi's face, and asked softly, "What happened to your family?"

Ding Yi looked unharmed, and said relaxedly: "It's a long story, let me tell you briefly, it's a story about a prostitute who fell in love with a heartless man. My mother was pregnant with me and insisted on giving birth. My father ran away as soon as he heard it." After that, my mother was kicked out of the brothel. She was penniless and had no family. She couldn’t eat enough every day. When she gave birth to me, she was so skinny that she was so stupid that she still expected I just waited so hard for my father to come back, and he died of illness not long after. I don’t know how I came to Xingyang City. Anyway, as long as I can remember, I have been begging here for a living, but I I have always had a jade pendant on my body. I guess it was left to my mother by my bastard father. When I was older, I was fighting for land with a group of thugs. They saw the jade I was wearing and snatched it from me. But they came back a few days later and returned it to me, saying it was fake and the pawnshop would not accept it. Hahahaha, you said my mother was stupid or not, she was lied to by my father from the beginning to the end, even the tokens of love were fake, after finishing talking, isn’t it an old-fashioned drama?” After finishing speaking, he smiled and watched Xiang Fu Peibai took out the jade pendant from the skirt and shook it.

Fu Peibai was startled, but the other party was smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes. She shook her head seriously, and asked again: "Then... why don't you go to your father, you are his biological son, He will always recognize you."

Ding Yi laughed at himself, "I've never met my father, and I don't know his name. Besides, with the ugly marks on my face, I guess my father, that scumbag, wouldn't recognize me even if he saw me." of."

Fu Peibai didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat him on the shoulder, "What are your plans in the future, begging is not the answer."

Ding Yi scratched his head and replied, "I really haven't thought about it, one day at a time."

No matter how young and mature Fu Peibai was, he was only a 16-and-a-half-year-old child. He couldn't give Ding Yi any life advice, so he kept his mouth shut.

In the small courtyard of the farmhouse, two young people leaned against the back of their chairs and looked at the full moon together. The old man behind him prostrated himself on the table and let out bursts of snoring, accompanied by nightingales and frogs, forming a peaceful and comfortable scene.

Just like that, Fu Peibai lived in Old Man Wen's small courtyard. He had to take a large bowl of black soup while practicing martial arts every day. After taking it, her body would often feel hot and cold. Old Man Wen said this was a normal phenomenon. Because the medicine destroyed the balance of yin and yang in her body, after stabilization, her body temperature will be slightly lower than that of ordinary people, and she may suffer from cold hands and feet.

But Fu Peibai didn't care about these things at all, every day the cock crowed, in order not to disturb the old man Wen's rest, he went to the suburbs of the city to practice, practiced for a whole day, and then returned home at dusk.

Ding Yi came to visit her every now and then, and the days went on and on like this, and soon it was the end of May, and it was time for Fu Peibai to leave.

On the day before leaving, I heard that the old man woke up early, and Ding Yi hurried over. The three of them were speechless, but it was Ding Yi who spoke first, with a very reluctant tone, "Xiaobai, this trip is far away. , take care, and remember to come back to see us in the future."

The old man Wen stroked his beard and said earnestly: "Miss Fu, don't say much else, I wish you a smooth journey and your wish will come true."

Fu Peibai returned the salute one by one. After more than a month of getting along, she had already let go of her guard, and had a sincere friendship with the old and the young.

Thousands of words of gratitude could not be expressed, she could only stare deeply at the two of them, secretly thinking that she would definitely repay this kindness in the future.

She tightened the bag on her back, and when she was about to turn to leave, old man Wen grabbed her arm.

"That's right, that's right, I almost forgot such an important thing, Xiaobai, if you successfully enter the Tianji Sect, help me find out if there is a person named Meng Yan in the Sect, and if so, you can take this thing Give it to him, and bring me another sentence, just say it's been a long time, I hope I can talk about it", the old man Wen said and handed something to Fu Peibai.

Ding Yi smiled maliciously, "Yo, is your old friend good?"

The old man Wen slapped Ding Yi on the back, and shouted: "Good friend, you have a good figure, can this name be a girl? What does the brat think about every day?"

Fu Peibai took the object, it was an iron plate with the word "Wen" clearly engraved on it, she agreed without asking why.

The moment of parting is always painful, but it will eventually come. Fu Peibai faced the first ray of sunshine and walked towards the east. She walked towards the unknown road with apprehension, no matter what difficulties and obstacles ahead, no matter what the wind and rain Astray.

Go here, never regret it.
