The rivers and lakes are full of vests

After dawn, it was the day of departure. Fu Peibai packed his bags early in the morning, first went to wake up Lu Qingwan who was still sleeping, then Sang Yunshi, and finally when he came to Room [-], the other party had already tidied up. Wearing a plain light shirt and a tulle face, there was a bright smile in her eyes when she looked at her.

Fu Peibai only glanced at it, then looked away and went to hold Ni Zhi in the room.

Ni Zhi's expression was low, her mouth was pursed all the time, Fu Peibai habitually picked her up, comforted her softly and walked out of the room.

Lu Qingwan and Sang Yunshi also packed their luggage and stood in the courtyard with a long distance between them. The impatience and boredom on Lu Qingwan's face were even more obvious.

"Let's go, it's time to go." Fu Peibai said, and walked towards the mountain gate first.

At the mountain gate, Hui'an led a group of monks and had been waiting here for a long time. After seeing the figure of the young man and the three graceful women, Hui'an stepped forward a few steps, "Amitabha, the poor monk brought the disciples from the temple to come here as a blessing. The benefactor sees you off, it's a long journey, please take care."

Fu Peibai is well aware of the deep meaning in Hui'an's words. This journey is not a trip to the southwest, but the road of heavy responsibility that she is about to embark on to save the common people. It is not known how many hardships and hardships there will be, but it will never be smooth sailing.

She bent down deeply and bowed respectfully, "My junior thanked Master Hui'an, Master should take care of himself."

Although she has only come to Banruo Temple for a few days, and has known Mingwen, Kuchan, and Hui'an for only a few days, she suddenly feels that after staying here for a long time, she has realized a lot in her heart, and she has also recognized the path she wants to take in the future , In terms of xinxing, I have grown a lot.

The parting words are always endless, so Fu Peibai led Ni Zhi up the path down the mountain. Half an hour later, they came to the ordinary farmer's house.

The family had been waiting outside the courtyard early, a middle-aged couple with two sons.The host was a middle-aged man. When he saw Ni Zhi beside Fu Peibai, he smiled honestly, walked over awkwardly, rubbed his hands, "Mr. Fu, is that the little girl you mentioned?"

"Well, her name is Ni Zhi, and she is five years old. Uncle Zhao, I will trouble you for the next few days. I will come back to pick up Zhi'er in two months."

"I know, Mr. Fu, don't worry, I will treat the little girl as my own child."

After the man finished speaking, he bent down slightly, put his rough hands on his knees, and waved to Ni Zhi who was hiding behind Fu Peibai, "Is your name Zhi'er? My name is Zhao Er. You can call me Uncle Zhao in the future. This is my Mother-in-law, you can just call her Aunt Qian.

And these are my two dolls, the older one is my elder brother, the younger one is my younger brother, one is eight years old, and the other is seven years old. You can play with your brothers in the future. If they bully you, tell me, I Hit them hard and you won't be wronged. "

The man was born with a square face, and his dark face wrinkled when he smiled, revealing the simplicity of an honest person.

Ni Zhi stared at him, still a little scared, her father died young, since she remembered, she had never seen her father, let alone enjoyed her father's love.

Fu Peibai pushed her lightly, and bent over to talk to her, "Go, Zhi'er, Uncle Zhao is a good man, he will take good care of you."

Ni Zhi looked at Fu Peibai, then looked back at Shiqi.

Seventeen steps forward, touched Ni Zhi's face, and said softly, "Zhi'er, don't be afraid, Brother Fu promised you, and will come back to pick you up?"

Ni Zhi nodded, and finally mustered up her courage. She took two steps forward, and reached out to hold the hand that the man extended to her. These hands were much wider than hers, and could completely wrap her little hand, although it was extremely thick. Sweet, but warm.

She thought vaguely, if her father was alive, his hands should be the same as this uncle's.

"Brother Zhao, I will thank you very much for this period of time. If you need help with anything in the future, brother Zhao can just speak up." Fu Peibai said sincerely.

The man waved his hand to express his politeness. After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Fu Peibai and his party were finally about to leave.

She was leading the horse and standing by the side of the road. She was in the backlight and couldn't see her expression clearly. She waved goodbye to five vague figures standing outside the courtyard not far away. Those figures also waved back in unison, belonging to the one The smallest figure swung the hardest.

Fu Peibai got on his horse, pulled Shiqiye onto his horse, and immediately swung his whip high. With a soft shout, they drove away from Fancheng.

The four of them galloped all the way according to the shortcut pointed out by Master Hui'an, passed one or two small towns on the road, took a short rest and continued on their way.

Because of the delay in Banruo Temple for a long time, they did not choose to stay overnight after passing a rich and prosperous city in the evening, but continued to run forward for dozens of kilometers.

According to the map, there should have been a small village ahead, but when night fell and Fu Peibai and the others arrived, they only saw the ruins of a desolate and dilapidated village. It was obvious that the place had been inhabited for a long time, with overgrown weeds and green branches and vines. Wrapped around the ruins.

Fu Peibai jumped off the horse, took out the map from his arms, and found that there was no place to stay for nearly a hundred kilometers ahead. It seemed that they could only make do here for one night.

She led Shiqi off the horse, unloaded the luggage on the horse, and explained the current situation to Lu Qingwan who came a while later, "Second miss, there are no towns and villages ahead, we will leave tonight Rest here."

Lu Qingwan frowned unhappily. She looked at the dilapidated village with distaste, and complained, "It's so messy and dirty, how can you sleep here?"

"Second Miss, when you insisted on coming, I told you that this journey is thousands of miles long, and you will inevitably have to eat and sleep in the open. Let's just feel wronged for tonight."

Although Lu Qingwan was dissatisfied, she also knew that she really had no choice but to get off the horse reluctantly. She was taking the luggage from the saddlebag when a soft white hand appeared in front of her eyes.

Even under the hazy moonlight, Sang Yunshi's charming face couldn't hide her charm. There was a vague smile on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was gentle, "Second Miss, please help the little girl."

Lu Qingwan rolled her eyes, and stretched out her hand bluntly, saying it was helping, rather pulling, and when she touched those soft and delicate hands, she exerted strength and pulled him down.

Sang Yunshi staggered, and slammed into Lu Qingwan vainly, Lu Qingwan quickly stretched out her hand and pushed, with a look of disgust on her face.

Immediately, the two started a bickering dispute between you and me.

Fu Peibai was no longer surprised. She quickly picked up a few packages on the ground and walked deep into the village, intending to find a clean place that could shelter from the wind and rain.

After searching around, I managed to find a house with a relatively intact roof tile. However, several windows and wooden doors in this house have long been broken, and the hanging on the wall is precarious.

She rolled up her sleeves and hurriedly started to tidy up the house. She was used to these rough jobs and instinctively took care of everything, but after a while, there was one more person beside her.

Shi Qi also imitated her appearance, rolled up her long sleeves, revealing her white and slender forearms, "Let me help you."

"No, just go out and wait. I can do this job by myself." Fu Peibai's entire face was hidden in the fine dust under the moonlight. When she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, her expression extremely serious.

Shi Qi watched her quietly, then said softly: "I'll help you, it's always faster for the two of you to clean up."

"No need, it's dusty here, and your clothes will be dirty later, besides, I'm a man, and I should be doing these rough chores." When he said this, Fu Peibai stood up slightly, as if to match the word "male". Chest, with a smile on her face, and the dense dust suspended in mid-air could not cover her bright eyes.

Seventeen's fingers curled up slightly, and her fingertips touched the palm of her hand lightly. She was in a daze for a moment, unable to tell whether it was the slight itching of the palm or the slight movement in her heart.

After staring at Fu Peibai for a while, she relaxed, and said softly: "Okay, if you need help, just call me."

Fu Peibai nodded. After Shiqi left, she began to remove the weeds and debris in the house, and cleaned the dust. After a while, she cleaned up an empty room where people could sleep.

"Miss Seventeen, Miss Second, Miss Sang, pack up and come in."

Lu Qingwan was the first to get into the room. After looking around, she was about to say something disgusting. She looked at Fu Peibai who had worked so hard to clean up. Finally, she held back her words and said in a soft voice: "Thanks for your hard work, A Pei .”

"It's okay, I've wronged the second lady. You can sleep in this corner. I'll pick up some hay later and come back to make you a simple floor."

Lu Qingwan smiled sweetly and replied, "Okay, thank you, Ah Pei."

"Miss Sang sleeps here, and Miss Seventeen sleeps here." Fu Peibai pointed to the other corners of the walls that could shelter from the wind in turn.

Lu Qingwan glanced at the two women, with a look of vigilance in her eyes, "Then, Ah Pei, where are you going to sleep?"

Fu Peibai pointed to the shabby hut opposite, "I sleep in the opposite room."

"I don't want to sleep with these two women, I want to sleep with you."

Fu Peibai immediately refused: "How can that be done! It's absolutely wrong for a single man and a widow to live in the same room."

"You won't do anything to me! Besides, we just sleep in the same room, not next to each other. What's wrong?"

"Anyway, you can't be firm." Fu Peibai knew that it was useless to argue with Lu Qingwan, and after stating his firm attitude, he left the house and went outside to pick up hay.

On the way, she was a little worried that Miss Lu Qingwan would lose her temper, and vented her anger at Seventeen and Miss Sang without restraint, then hurriedly picked up a large pile of hay and rushed back to the house.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the three women standing in a triangle, ignoring each other. It seemed that nothing had happened. She breathed a sigh of relief and went to tidy the three floor beds one by one. She clapped her hands and said, "Okay, you guys Rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave when Lu Qingwan ran up to her and said angrily, "I said I don't want to sleep with these two women!"

"Second Miss, stop messing around." Fu Peibai looked helpless.

Lu Qingwan stomped her feet, ran out of the house, walked into the wooden shed beside her, sat on the ground as if breathing heavily, crossed her hands on her chest, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to sleep here tonight!"

Fu Peibai stared at the scattered haystacks on the wooden shed, then looked at the long stone canal inside the shed, and said incredulously, "Second Miss... are you sure you want to sleep here?"

"Yes, I'll just sleep here, don't anyone try to persuade me."

Just as Fu Peibai was about to tell what this wooden shed was for, Sang Yunshi walked over with small steps, leaning on the window rail, staring at Lu Qingwan in the wooden shed, with playful eyes, "Second Miss, since this is the case, Be firm, then I wish Second Miss a good sleep tonight."

Fu Peibai glanced at Sang Yunshi, and it was obvious that the other party knew what the wooden shed was for, so he must have thought about teasing Lu Qingwan again.

Fu Peibai didn't have such thoughts, and she didn't want to see the two quarreling again, so she sighed and said, "Second Miss, get up, this is a pigsty."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Lu Qingwan's expression first changed to bewildered, then shocked, and then terrified, and then a scream resounded through the night sky.

Lu Qingwan jumped up suddenly, and rushed out of the pigsty, she hopped and patted the clothes on her body.

Sang Yunshi laughed tremblingly, "Second Miss, I really didn't expect you to like to stay overnight in the pigsty. It's really surprising."

The woman's continuous laughter was undoubtedly the last straw that broke Lu Qingwan's reason.

"Sang Yunshi!"

Accompanied by an angry shout, Lu Qingwan immediately exerted her inner strength and slapped Sang Yun with a palm.

Seeing that she was really angry, Fu Peibai jumped out quickly, stopped her move, and smoothed things over: "Second Miss, Miss Sang, this is just a joke, it can't be true."

"You get out of the way!"

Lu Qingwan became angry with embarrassment, and even the corners of her eyes were red at the moment. When had she been humiliated by such words, but in front of the person she liked, she had to teach this witch a lesson today.

Fu Peibai was in a dilemma between the two, persuading but not being able to persuade, and not daring to pull, he was really worried.

"Miss Sang, Miss Lu, there's no need to start a big fight over such a trivial matter, and create a quarrel. In my opinion, what Miss Sang said just now was not malicious, but it really offended Miss Lu, so I took a step back and apologized. How are you?" Seventeen persuaded.

But before Sang Yunshi could express her position, Lu Qingwan said viciously: "I want you to mind your own business and be hypocritical!"

"Hey, Second Miss, what are you talking about? Miss Seventeen is kind enough to enlighten you and me, why do you speak so badly about people?"

Sang Yunshi shook her head slightly and said.

Lu Qingwan stared at her fiercely, "The two of you are now together, right? Okay, let's unite to bully me, right? Ah Pei! Who are you going to help?!"

Fu Peibai was inexplicably drawn into the vortex of the quarrel, she looked puzzled, and said dryly: "It's not as serious as you said...Second Miss, you worry too much."

"Are you helping them or not helping me?!"

Fu Peibai half-raised his hands innocently, "I didn't."

"Then you're on my side, right?"

"Second Miss, we are all together, we should help each other, and we should help each other."

Lu Qingwan was so angry at Fu Peibai's ambiguous words, but she didn't want to get angry at her, so she could only vent her anger on Sang Yunshi and Seventeen. She gritted her teeth and began to scold. Secretly harboring ghosts and the like.

Fu Peibai stood aside, not daring to say a word.
