Sang Yunshi raised her eyebrows, "Oh? What's so strange?"

"They are bandits who make a living by robbing money. After taking us captive to the mountain, not only did they not confiscate our purses, Second Miss' jewelry and jade pendants, they didn't take any valuables. They just locked us in the house. It even let us escape very easily, as if it was done on purpose, it's too suspicious." Fu Peibai said, the doubts on his face deepened.

After being tied up to the mountain yesterday, the situation was urgent, so they didn't notice so many unreasonable things. Now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit against the law, and Lu Qingwan didn't feel awkward anymore. They have been entrenched here for many years, and the officers and soldiers have nothing to do with them. Logically speaking, they should be a group of brave, resourceful, vigilant and prudent people, but it is indeed strange that we were allowed to escape so easily yesterday."

Fu Peibai pondered for a moment, then looked at Shiqi, "Miss Shiqi, you went up the mountain earlier than us, have you noticed anything strange about these bandits?"

Seventeen replied indifferently: "No."

Fu Peibai looked serious, "I have to go to the mountain village again. No matter whether these bandits are different or not, it is an indisputable fact that they robbed passing merchants and kidnapped women. To capture the bandits, you must first capture the king. I took the opportunity to capture their leader , and send it to the government to completely stop the bandit rebellion here."

Lu Qingwan said seriously: "A Pei, I'll go with you."

Fu Peibai refused without even thinking about it. She was afraid of the situation where the three of them accidentally fell for the scheme last time. She would rather take the risk alone, "No."

Just as Lu Qingwan was about to speak, Fu Peibai vetoed it again with an extremely stern expression, "Anyway, it is absolutely impossible."

"I'll accompany you." Seventeen said softly.

The three of them looked at the woman covered in white gauze, Fu Peibai subconsciously refused, but the other said: "I am familiar with the terrain and internal structure of the cottage, so I can help you."

Fu Peibai hesitated for a while, then let go, "That's all right."

Now Lu Qingwan quit and made a fuss, "Why can't I go if she can go? She doesn't even know martial arts. If she is found out, she will hold you back. At least I can beat ten of them one at a time." , what can she do? Stand there and call for help?"

Fu Peibai glanced at Shiqi, and found that her face was as usual, and she didn't seem to be angry at these words, so she turned to Lu Qingwan, and her tone was a little tougher: "Don't talk about the second lady, I will go with the seventeenth girl first, you Stay with Miss Sang at the inn, don't run around."

"Let's go, girl seventeen."

Shi Qi didn't move, pointed to his face, "Your face."

Fu Peibai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was still dressed like a bandit, his face was smeared with ashes on purpose, and his hair was as rough as a chicken coop. He felt a little embarrassed, "Oh, oh, I'm going to wash it." , then ran to the backyard, fetched water to wash up neatly, restored a clean and handsome face, and then left the inn with Qi Qiyi one after the other.

The two were walking on the road to Longhuzhai, Fu Peibai was afraid that Shi Qijie would miss Lu Qingwan's words, so he comforted him: "Don't mind, Second Miss has that temperament."

Seventeen hooked the corners of her mouth, Feng Danyun said lightly: "I am four years older than her, how could I care about a little girl."

"Eh? How do you know that Second Miss is seventeen years old?"

Shi Qi gazed at the distant mountain peaks, and replied casually, "Look at the age of ten 67."

Fu Peibai didn't have any doubts, and talked about the business, "Later, we will go around the back mountain and find a place with a slightly higher terrain where we can see the whole picture of the village. You and I can identify those houses and the road map inside the village. Okay, don’t go in with me, I’ll come out to look for you after I catch the leader of the cottage.”

Shi Qi had no doubts, and agreed with a hum, and the two walked along the winding path to the back mountain.

At that time, a group of thieves in Longhuzhai had just finished drinking the parting wine and divided up their belongings. In order to deceive others, they deliberately chose the path in the back mountain to go down the mountain. Not surprisingly, the two groups ran into each other within a short while. .

Both sides were stunned, and it was Fu Peibai who reacted first. Seeing that the other party seemed to be fleeing, he quickly drew his sword out of its sheath, and the sword was shining, and he approached the bandit leader.

The bandit threw his weapon into the village long ago because he planned to wash his hands in a golden basin. There was nothing that could block Fu Peibai's sword. He saw the woman behind the young man, Fu Peibai put away her sword, but her brows were furrowed, her face still solemn. "No, you have been doing evil here for a long time and have committed too many crimes. If I forgive you lightly, how can I be worthy of the merchants and women who were robbed by you? You must go to the government with me and be punished by the government."

The bandit leader was so distressed that he couldn't tell the truth, he almost wanted to tell the truth, he secretly glanced at Shi Qi, was shocked by the other party's eyes, and hurriedly looked back, begging: "Young Xia, please spare us Well, we really don't want to do anything wrong anymore, we are going down the mountain this time to wash our hands, and we will be good citizens in the future.

"Didn't they all say that you can correct your mistakes if you know your mistakes? What is good? What else is there to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately? Look at us, isn't that just putting down the knife? Just give us a chance to be human again."

The head of the cottage said a lot, but Fu Peibai was still very cold and hard, "No, who knows if you are going to change the site and start a new business, you must go to see the officials with me." Saying that, she went to grab the head of the cottage.

A young man who looked thin and weak dragged a nine-foot man a few feet away on the ground.

Either way, he was dead, the head of the cottage gritted his teeth and became cruel, and wanted to betray Shiqi to save himself. When he looked up, he saw the woman standing over there suddenly limp and fell to the ground.

Hearing the movement, Fu Peibai suddenly turned his head back, and immediately let go of the big man, and ran to Shiqi's side in a few strides, with an anxious expression on his face: "Miss Shiqi? What's wrong with you? Can you hear me?"

Shi Qi's eyes were closed tightly, his face was paler under the bright sunlight, his eyebrows were tightly frowned, and he looked weak and uncomfortable.

Sweat dripped from Fu Peibai's forehead, and he heard a rustling sound behind him. He turned his head and saw that the thieves had already picked up their luggage and ran away, creating a cloud of dust.

She clenched her fists tightly, angry in her heart, but at this moment she couldn't chase after her. She glared at the group of bandits running away with hatred, and finally gritted her teeth, hugged Shi Qi horizontally and ran down the mountain in another direction.

The woman's body is very light. She hugged him and ran quickly, even feeling that the woman was not as heavy as the two loads of water she carried on Chaoquan Peak. She became more and more worried. He ran back to the town in a hurry, found a medicine hall, entered the door and shouted: "Doctor, doctor! Come here!"

An old man with white beard slowly opened the curtain and came out from the back room. His footsteps were slow, his lips were slightly parted, and it took him a long time to make a sound, "What's the matter? Young man."

Fu Peibai was out of breath, and hurriedly said: "Quick, look at her, she just passed out suddenly."

The old man was still unhurried, his movements were very slow, and his speech was also slow, which made Fu Peibai anxious to death.

"come in."

Fu Peibai hugged the girl like a gust of wind and entered the back room, and gently put her on the couch, raised his eyes to see that the doctor just opened the curtain, and moved towards this side like a turtle.

"Doctor, hurry up." Fu Peibai said impatiently for the first time when he was rude to an elderly man.

The old man waved his hand, "Don't rush, don't rush, young man, keep your heart calm and calm down, don't worry about anything."

Can you be in a hurry?Human life is a matter of heaven and earth, Fu Peibai almost scratched his head when he remembered it.

The old man walked for a long time in a daze after he had only covered the distance in a few strides, and he didn't know whether it was really because of his inconvenient legs and feet, or because of his temper.

He shook his head to feel the pulse on the seventeenth vein, opened his eyes again, and met Fu Peibai's nervous eyes, "No", but just as he said a word, the young man snatched up: "Is it okay? "

"Yes, she," Fu Peibai hastily said again before he finished speaking, "Why did she faint for no reason?"

After being robbed several times, the old man's face darkened, and he spit out a long string of witty words, "I said you kid, do you know how to respect your elders? I haven't finished my sentence. Why are you robbing me? It's just that I don't know how to respect elders." I was about to say why this girl fainted, but you interrupted me, this old man is so mad, brat."

The old man is not hesitating at all when he can talk now, he just said a lot quickly.

Just as Fu Peibai was about to apologize, she suddenly heard an indistinct woman's chuckle, like Seventeen's, she looked suspiciously, the other party was in a coma with his eyes closed, how could he laugh, she just pretended to be listening wrong.

"I'm sorry, doctor, but I'm impatient. Tell me, I'll listen, and I will never interrupt."

The old man snorted through his nose and said, "This girl may have suffered from heatstroke when she fainted. It's nothing serious. After I prescribe some cooling and antipyretic medicine, everything will be fine."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

Fu Peibai hurriedly thanked her, and after the old man went to grab the medicine, she finally relaxed. Seeing the thin body of the unconscious woman, who was holding her lightly, her body was cold, it must be because her bones were too weak. Thinking of this, she felt very Seven looked weaker and weaker.

The back room of the medicine hall is very quiet, the air is filled with a faint scent of herbs, and a few rays of sunlight are projected from the window onto the couch, and the room is a bit hot and dry. This scene is very familiar. At the end of last year, the peak master had a cold attack. She also slept on the couch in the medicine hall like this, with Fu Peibai standing by her side.

Thinking of this, she sighed slightly, got up and closed the window a little smaller to block out the scorching sun, and then took a cattail fan and stood beside the couch to fan Shi Qi gently.

The gentle wind blows on the woman's face, blowing a few strands of hair and moving slightly, Fu Peibai's eyes fell on the other's face, and fearing that the woman was wearing a veil would be stuffy, so he stretched out his hand to take off the veil. Stretching it out, the other party opened his eyes suddenly.

Fu Peibai's hand was still hanging on Shiqi's face, and his eyes met.

She withdrew her hand in embarrassment, afraid that the other party would misunderstand, and explained: "I'm afraid that you will be stuffy with the veil on, so I just want to take it off for you, there is no other meaning."

Shi Qi hummed, sat up, and twirled his thin fingers behind his head, and the veil fell off in an instant.

The two times I saw the woman were under the dim candlelight and moonlight, and I couldn't see it clearly. It was the first time that Shi Qi's face was clearly presented in front of Fu Peibai's eyes.

She was stunned, staring intently at the stunning face of the woman in front of her, and suddenly remembered a sentence in the book, "If you are beautiful, you will wander away".

She thinks that she has never seen beautiful women, such as the peak master, the second lady, and even Sang Yunshi, all of them are extremely beautiful, but Shi Qi's beauty has a charm that is hard to describe.

The skin is creamy, the face is like peaches and plums, the eyebrows are narrow and long, and there is a sense of enchantment, but the lips are cool and thin, which makes the face look cold, giving birth to a kind of cool beauty. It doesn't seem obtrusive.

Fu Peibai stared straight at the other person's face, as if looking at a utensil. This was extremely impolite behavior, but Shi Qi was not angry, and his eyes were a little playful. After a while, he said leisurely: "I've seen enough. ?"

Fu Peibai suddenly came back to his senses, quickly looked away, and said awkwardly, "Sorry, Miss Seventeen."

"Does it look good?"

"..."

Fu Peibai's eyes widened slightly, his face heated up rapidly, his eyes began to move around nervously, and his hands on his knees also grabbed his robe and wrinkled a little.

She didn't respond to Shi Qi, but stood up and hurriedly said, "I'll go see if the doctor has taken the medicine."

Immediately, he fled out of the back room as if fleeing, leaving only a string of clear and melodious female laughter behind him.
