The rivers and lakes are full of vests

The summer night in mid-September has faded a lot from the heat, and there is an occasional night breeze, which makes people feel refreshed and pleasant.

But even in such a breezy and cool moonlit night, Fu Peibai was full of heat, especially when she heard the woman read the lingering letter word by word, her whole body seemed to be in hot steam, and her face was flushed red.

Fortunately, the moonlight was hazy and dim, and the strange color on her face could not be seen.

"If you ask how long you have been in love, unless you meet each other..."

Shi Qi finished reading another sentence, looked up at Fu Peibai, his eyes narrowed, "Did you really write this?"

"Master Fu doesn't seem like such a direct person."

Fu Peibai lowered his eyes, concealing his embarrassment and embarrassment, "No...I wrote it, it was written by someone else."

Shi Qi looked clear, "That's it." She dragged her tone, and then said: "It's well written, your sweetheart will be full of joy after reading it." After finishing speaking, she handed the letter back .

Fu Peibai quickly took it, folded it and put it in his arms, unwilling to continue this topic, and talked about serious business.

"Well, how's the news going?"

"Ling Xiaohua grows in a miasma valley in the hinterland of the Southwest Gu Region. Girl Mu doesn't know the exact location, she just said it's very dangerous." Shi Qi looked a lot more serious, "Do you have to go?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Peibai said firmly, "I must go."

"What about the medicinal materials that can remove birthmarks?"

"That herb is called Zhongli, and it grows on many mountains in the Gu Region, so it's not hard to find. As for the person you mentioned called Duan Wushou, Miss Mu doesn't know either."

Fu Peibai nodded, thinking about the plan to enter the southwest, since the news has been found, it is not appropriate to delay, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Just thinking about that man and Ding Yi's life experience made her a little bit embarrassed. After thinking about it for a while, she still decided to stay for another day tomorrow. It would be best if she could find that man. Find it again.

"Tomorrow we will stay for another day. I have some personal matters to deal with. I will officially leave for the southwest the day after tomorrow."

Shi Qi was sensible and didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and said softly: "Okay."

At dawn the next day, Fu Peibai got up, hurriedly washed and went to the street to look for people. She came to the place where the man set up the stall yesterday, but found no one there. The light was bright, and there were people coming and going on the street, but there was no sign of a man.

She asked the peddler on the side, and the peddler showed her the way during the busy work, and asked her to look for it in the southeast corner of the town.

Fu Peibai rushed there in a hurry, and finally saw the man soundly asleep on the ground in a small fenced yard.

Regardless of etiquette, she opened the door and came to the man, shaking him while shouting, "Sir? Sir? Wake up."

The man's head swayed slightly with his body, and his whole body exuded the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of alcohol. After a night of fermentation, it really smelled a bit unpleasant.

"Sir, wake up."

Fu Peibai called persistently, and finally called the man so that he half opened his eyes.

The man opened her hand and said impatiently, "Who are you?"

"Yesterday you wrote the letter for me, remember, Sanshuipei, Sunguangbai."

The man frowned, and sat up after a while, resting his forehead, and glanced at Fu Peibai, "What's the matter?"

"I want to inquire with you about an old story about Miss Wanyue."

The man's eyes cleared instantly after hearing the name Wanyue, and he showed a guarded face and said, "Why are you asking this?"

"I have a friend whose background seems to be related to Miss Wanyue..."

"What do you mean his life experience is related to Yue'er?"

Fu Peibai said slowly: "I suspect that my friend is the child that Miss Wanyue gave birth to."

The man suddenly opened his eyes wide, grabbed her arm, and the veins on the back of his hand burst out.

"How old is that friend of yours, and what's his name? He, he..." The man looked like he was insane, and he couldn't speak a complete sentence in gibberish.

Fu Peibai pressed his shoulders, exerting a little force, "Sir, calm down, can you tell me about Miss Wanyue first?"

The man was panting slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, it took him a while to calm down, and he said slowly: "Miss Wanyue was the oiran who entered Yunge 22 years ago, her appearance is the best in the world, but she is different from those brothel girls , she sold herself as a prostitute because she couldn't help herself."

"I love her, but I also know that she has no intention of being with me, and only treats me as a confidant, but I don't care, I just want to redeem her body and stay by her side, but...but... ..."

The man's voice was choked with sobs, "But why is she so stupid, falling in love with a merciless man, that man doesn't really love her at all, otherwise how could he just leave and never come back? So stupid, stupid enough to give birth to a child for that man... just for that hypocritical man, I gave everything...even my life..."

At the end, the man was so sad that he couldn't hold it back. He covered his face with his hands, and there was a broken cry between his fingers.

The voice is depressing and painful, full of remembrance and love for the woman who passed away more than 20 years ago.

Fu Peibai's heart was also a little heavy, and after the man's crying stopped, she asked again: "Sir, do you understand the child that Miss Wanyue gave birth to?"

The man shook his head, "When I returned to Wumeng, Yue'er had died of illness for several months. I heard that the child was adopted by a group of passers-by and left the town. I thought he didn't know his life experience and lived a carefree life. That’s okay, so I didn’t go looking for him.”

"How many years ago was Miss Wanyue the child born?"

"Yuan Shuo's 20 years."

Yuan Shuo's reign ended in 24, and now Pingyuan is 17 years old, that child should be 21 years old now, exactly Ding Yi's current age!However, it cannot be completely determined based on this alone, and she needs more information to prove it.

"Then, do you know the identity of the man who abandoned Miss Wanyue, and where he is going?"

Mentioning this, the man's expression showed a few traces of hatred, "That scum is called Lu Ming, and I made friends with him before. At first, I thought he was a person with great talent and lofty ambitions. I really fell in love with him. Pei, it's disgusting to think about it now.

"This person is stalking, greedy for profit, and can abandon everything for his own future. He left Yue'er and went to the capital. In that year, when Yue'er was kicked out of the building because of her pregnancy, this unscrupulous man had already clinged to the old man at that time. A great martial arts sect, and even became the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai, the head of that sect. On his wedding day, when the red hair was in the tent, did he ever think that Yue'er, who was living outside and alone, would feel a little bit guilty! "

The man became emotional again, his skinny cheeks were covered with tears, "He won't! He's the kind of person who only cares about himself, Yue'er is just a pastime for him when he's young, life is a passerby, and it's insignificant, but he is everything about Yue'er, It's that silly girl's heaven and earth, and when he leaves, Yue'er's world will collapse, silly girl...my silly girl..."

The man murmured, and tears kept pouring out.

Hearing this, Fu Peibai can almost conclude that the woman who was the most famous girl in the world more than 20 years ago is Ding Yi's mother, and this is Ding Yi's real hometown.

"Sir, the friend of mine I mentioned to you just now told me about his life experience. I think he is the child that Miss Wanyue desperately wanted to give birth to."

The man slowly opened his eyes wide and his lips trembled slightly. After a while, he grabbed Fu Peibai's hand, his voice trembling, "Is he a man or a woman? How has he been doing all these years? He should be 22 years old now. Did you get married, have your own children? Does he look like his mother? No, no, you don't know what Yue'er looks like, does he remember his mother?"

The man asked vaguely, his eyes were red and swollen, and he stared closely at Fu Peibai.

Fu Peibai couldn't bear to tell him that Ding Yi had suffered a lot since he was a child and lived a life of ups and downs. She patted the back of the man's hand lightly and said softly: "He is a handsome man named Ding Yi. He is kind, upright, warm and cheerful. , now living in Tianji Sect, everything is fine, although I haven't married yet, but I have a girl I like, presumably in the future, I will marry a wife and have children, and have a happy and happy family."

She paused for a moment, then continued: "He never forgot his mother, not for a moment, he missed her very much."

The man slowly let go of his hand, as if he was relieved, although he was smiling, the tears on his face kept coming, "Okay, very good, in this world, besides me, there are people who remember Yue'er, and after I die, there are still people who remember Yue'er." I will miss Yue'er, my Yue'er, under the underworld, I won't be lonely anymore."

Fu Peibai's face was gloomy, and she didn't speak anymore, but at the same time she was determined to find out Ding Yi's life experience, Ding Yi also vaguely noticed something on Jinyun Mountain thousands of miles away.

In the past month or so, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes. First, he was taken to Qingliao Peak by Wu Zhong, the bodyguard next to the suzerain, and said that he would be by the suzerain's side to serve him in the future.

For ordinary people, this is a great opportunity to change his future, but it is not good news for him. Leaving Chaoquan means that he will not be able to see Afu often in the future. He is reluctant, but the suzerain He couldn't disobey the order, so he could only pack his bags and go with Wu Zhong.

Wu Zhong didn't take him to the courtyard where the handyman lived, but took him to the courtyard where the suzerain lived, and let him move into the side room on the side. It's really weird to be together, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only stay.

On the second day, he met Lu Wencheng, who still had that gentle and refined appearance, and treated him no differently from others, but he felt that there was something different, and he couldn't tell for a while.

And even though he was asked to serve the suzerain by name, after he moved to Qingliao, he was never busy with anything at all.

For seven whole days, he was idle and bored every day. Lu Wencheng would come to chat with him in his spare time every evening, asking him about his past life, interesting things about his youth, etc., and occasionally had dinner with him. After eating several delicacies from mountains and seas, I can't help but feel weird while being satisfied.

Until two young maidservants appeared beside him, saying that they came to serve him under the order of the suzerain, and they would serve Mr. Ding personally in the future.When Dang even went to ask Lu Wencheng, Lu Wencheng just smiled and said that he had a good relationship with him, seeing that he was sociable, and wanted to keep him by his side and cultivate him.

Ding Yi touched the horrific birthmark on his face, naturally he didn't believe Lu Wencheng's words, but he couldn't keep asking, so he had to go back embarrassingly.

In the next half month, Lu Wencheng continued to train him as usual, and he started to train him as he said, and he would bring him with him when he was dealing with some official affairs in the clan or talking with his subordinates.

After Fu Peibai, this little boy with an ugly face suddenly became the second focus of the Tianji sect's attention. Everyone was discussing in private how this boy won the favor of the suzerain. The eyes looking at Ding Yi are different, some are full of disdain, some are flattering, but more of a scrutinizing and searching look.

Ding Yi was uncomfortable at first, but gradually got used to it after a long time.

Lu Wencheng hired a famous teacher to go to the mountains to teach Ding Yi knowledge, etiquette, etc., and even taught him martial arts. The number of maids around him has changed from the first two to dozens, and the food and clothing are also the best. of.

In less than half a month, when Ding Yi appeared at a relatively grand gathering of the Tianji Sect, he was no longer the thin and poor boy.

The young man is dressed in brocade clothes, with a tall and straight figure, a sword on his waist, a bright jade pendant, his hair is combed meticulously, and half of his face is covered with a golden mask, which hides the ugly birthmark on one side of his face. It's like a person has been reborn, and he looks like a real son of a family.

Everyone was astounded, and they couldn't help criticizing. The suzerain's various things about this person have gone far beyond the cultivation of ordinary disciples. Gradually, rumors began to spread in the sect, saying that the suzerain fell in love with this boy and accepted him as a boy. Beloved, this is the way to be loved in every way.

When this outrageous rumor reached Ding Yi's ears, he was actually a little skeptical, because Lu Wencheng was so nice to him for no reason, how could one person be nice to another for no reason?It doesn't make sense.

However, Lu Wencheng didn't treat him as rumored at all. Most of the time when he got along with him, he was just an amiable elder. If there is a son, he should be just like you."

Ding Yi didn't take it to heart until one time Lu Wencheng asked to have a look at the jade pendant hanging around his neck, he took it off readily, and then saw Lu Wencheng holding the jade pendant in his palm as if he had found a treasure. His face was like a delicate mask with several gaps suddenly cracked, revealing some complicated and unspeakable emotions under the gaps.

Ding Yi suddenly realized at that moment, staring at the handsome middle-aged man in front of him even though he had two strands of gray hair on his temples, he thought blankly, so you are my bastard father who abandoned his wife and children .

Lu Wencheng raised his head, and the two looked at each other, both understood, but they didn't explain it.

In the days that followed, Ding Yi no longer resisted Lu Wencheng's kindness to him. He began to enjoy the "compensation" the other party gave him with peace of mind, and even intensified his demands. Lu Wencheng also agreed to all extremely absurd and unreasonable demands.

Ding's attitude towards him was still indifferent, and the resentment in his heart was growing day by day, but he didn't show it.

Since then, he has jumped from a low-class person who does odd jobs to the young master Ding that everyone in the Tianji sect clings to. Because the previous name was too vulgar, Lu Wencheng even gave him a new name.

far away.
