Weicheng snow

When the three of them returned to the camp, the sky had already turned pale. Yi Qingchen returned Ruhui to Shen Yi, and told the latter not to reveal what happened last night. Shen Yi agreed and led Ruhui back to the camp to rest. up.

Yi Qingchen walked around the camp, felt that it was still early, so he and Hua Shenchi went back to the tent first, Hua Shenchi was going to check the corpses brought back, Yi Qingchen was so tired that he fell asleep After returning to the cage, it was not until Chen Shi that he was awakened by the movement outside the tent.

Yi Qingchen only felt sore all over his body, and he didn't want to move much, so he just hugged the pillow, lay on the bed, against Hua Chenchi's back, and listened carefully to what the outsider was saying with his breath held.

The person who is speaking now is Shen Sheng, and his voice sounds very energetic, "Old man, you will lead the way when we enter the forest today, please be considerate of us juniors, slow down your legs and feet, come on, your old man Sit here and rest for a while, and I'll pour you tea."

The old man who was in charge of leading the way really sat down and sighed, "The juniors now, hey, although their bodies are not as strong as those of us who have been climbing mountains all the year round, they are still polite after all. You big sleeves, tie them up, otherwise If you enter the forest, you will have to scratch it!"

The woman's crisp laughter burst out suddenly, and Yi Qingchen could tell that it was Caizhu, so he pricked up his ears and listened more seriously.

The old man asked Caizhu in the local language, "Girl, why are you running so hard here? Whose son do you like? Does your mother have someone to take care of her at home?"

Caizhu then replied in local dialect, "Mother, she is sleeping at home, and I don't need to take care of her now. How many years does it take for an outsider to come to the village? I'm here to see the excitement." Then she asked the disciples beside her in Mandarin with an accent. , "Is that gentleman awake? Which tent does he live in?"

Shen Sheng poured water back, and heard the words, "That top... Hey, wait, girl, wait, son, he hasn't gotten up yet..."

Before finishing speaking, the curtain of Hua Shenchi's tent was lifted by Caizhu from the outside, Shen Sheng hurriedly chased after him, grabbed Caizhu's wrist, and hurriedly put down the curtain, although it was only for a moment, Yi Qingchen's sight Still confronted Caizhu, but before that, Hua Shenchi turned around quite schemingly, pressed himself under his body, and pressed against his face, as if he wanted to put all the weight of his whole body on it. himself.

Yi Qingchen met Caizhu face to face in such an awkward posture, it was really embarrassing, although he was not surprised by this kind of embarrassment when he was in Lingshan, but now he is outside after all, no matter how embarrassing he is, he can't It's embarrassing to be outside, so I pushed Hua Chenchi away and explained, "This girl may be the key to solving the village's mystery, and maybe it's also related to the poisonous poison in Ruhui's body. I will follow her to the village today." Let's go, it's important, I'll get up first." Then he put on his clothes, hurriedly dressed and chased him out.

Outside the tent, around the old man who led the way, there was a circle of Lingshan disciples who were ready to go. As soon as Shen Sheng saw Yi Qingchen, he greeted him, "Good morning, Mr. Yi."

Caizhu stretched out her hand to pick her own cheek, and smiled awkwardly, "Morning, sir."

Yi Qingchen greeted the two, looked at the old man in the middle of the crowd with a smile, and asked Shen Sheng, "Shen Sheng, who is this?"

Shen Sheng hurriedly introduced, "Old man, a well-known Gu picker in the local area, I went to the village today to find the guide when I went into the forest. The villagers all recommended him to me, so I went to invite him to come."

Yi Qingchen knew it well, and gave him a junior's gift, the old man admired Yi Qingchen for a moment, and said to Caizhu in local language, "Little girl has a good eye for picking people."

Caizhu smiled awkwardly, scratched her cheek and said, "Young master seems to have someone he likes."

However, Agu persuaded in native language, "You can't say that. Girls from the Miao family, if you like it, be more straightforward. If you really see each other right, it's a beautiful thing. You have to leave no regrets. If people don't like it, be a good one." Friends are good too!"

Shen Sheng was confused when he heard this, and subconsciously asked Yi Qingchen, "Young Master Yi, you can understand..." Yi Qingchen coughed hurriedly, interrupting Shen Sheng's next words, Shen Sheng is also the queen After realizing it, he stopped the sound, paused for a moment, and then said politely, "Can you hear the cry of the sparrows in the forest? It's really nice, more agile than the group of cranes on Qingling Peak."

Yi Qingchen also admired, "It's really nice, but I've never been to Miaojiang, and I don't know what this bird is called..." Looking at Caizhu again, he asked with a smile, "Does Miss Caizhu know?" ?”

Caizhu was stunned for a moment, dazed by Yi Qingchen's smile. It was not until A Guren coughed that he came back to his senses, and replied embarrassingly, "This is the cry of the mulberry sparrow. They have long tails, black backs and white bellies. , There is also a yellow, green and red three-striped road at the junction of black and white on the neck, which is very common here, if you are lucky enough to see it, I will show it to you.”

Yi Qingchen nodded with a smile, just at this time Hua Shenchi came out of the house wearing clothes, ignored the shocked eyes of others, went straight to Yi Qingchen's side, and said in a low voice, "Axue, help me put on clothes. "

Yi Qingchen turned his head when he heard the sound, gasped, and saw that Hua Shenchi's left-hand skirt was drooping, his belt was loose, his hair was draped wantonly, and the hair tie was terribly tied. Holding in the palm of his hand, the uniform of Lingshan disciples, which has always been known for its rigidity and solemnity, was actually worn by him with a hint of coquettishness.

Yi Qingchen hurriedly pushed Hua Chenchi towards the tent again, and said to everyone while pushing, "I'm sorry, his right hand is broken, it's inconvenient to wear clothes, I'll help him take care of it."

After returning to the tent, Yi Qingchen hurriedly helped Hua Shenchi straighten his clothes from head to toe, until he squatted down to straighten his boots, Hua Shenchi lowered his eyes, stared at the top of Yi Qingchen's head and said, "That girl is interested in you. "

Yi Qingchen stuffed Hua Shenchi's trousers into his boots, and said with a slight smile, "I know..."

Hua Shenchi's eyes darkened, "Then you...are you interested in her?"

Yi Qingchen carefully tied accessories for Hua Shenchi, he paused when he heard the words, with a smile on his face, "Shen Chi, of course I..." Yu Guang glanced at the direction of the curtain , suddenly changed his tune, "Never as good as you imagined."

Hua Shenchi remained silent, and Yi Qingchen continued, "I was a thief who knew nothing at the beginning. To survive, I had to learn many despicable methods. I have deceived many people and used many tricks against me. The sincerity of those who want to, I have felt guilty, but if I want to live, I must forget this guilt."

"Before I met you, I only showed my true side to Xiaoqian... But fortunately, I met you, so that I can abandon that side and live, but I am not a good person in my bones... For the purpose , I will take advantage of other people's kindness...but only you..."

Hua Shenchi sighed for a long time, "Are you using me too?"

Yi Qingchen paused in smoothing the folds of his clothes, then smiled wryly, "You think so? Then you can think so, too."

Hua Shenchi asked again, "What's the purpose?"

Yi Qingchen shook his head, "Who knows..."

Hua Shenchi was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "Are you losing your temper?"

Yi Qingchen didn't speak, Hua Shenchi reached out to rub Yi Qingchen's head, but the latter avoided him.The movements of Hua Shenchi's hands froze in the air, and Yi Qingchen said with a sad expression, "Since you are willing to think that way, I might as well tell you that from the moment I knew you were Senior Brother Lingshan, I have been using You, I tempted you to remove the black blood from my body, I tempted you to take me to Lingshan, I lured you to protect me, and I was exonerated from being a thief..."

Hua Shenchi sighed, and said helplessly, "Axue, don't be angry."

Yi Qingchen clenched his fists tightly, and said with a light smile, "I'm not out of anger, dude."

Hua Shenchi was a little confused by Yi Qingchen's sudden change of attitude, and asked in confusion, "Are you angry about what happened on the bed just now? Or are you blaming me for doubting you?"

Yi Qingchen shook his head, "I won't take that kind of trivial matter to heart."

A bad premonition gradually emerged in Hua Shenchi's heart, but he still asked, "Then you were using me when you picked snow lotus and jumped off the negative snow cliff?"

Yi Qingchen nodded, "Yes, picking snow lotus is to win your favor, jumping off the negative snow cliff was just an accident, I originally wanted to save Xiaoqian, saving you was just incidental... .”

"You're exaggerating in what you said..." Hua Shenchi knew very well in his heart that Yi Qingchen was definitely not the kind of person he said he was. It was indeed his own fault in the first place, and he shouldn't have asked. If you doubt it, you shouldn't doubt it, but Yi Qingchen seems to insist that he will have a fight with himself today.

Yi Qingchen sneered and said, "So, I have been looking for opportunities to talk to you about this matter before. Now I have become a military adviser for the South Marching Army, and I have obtained the position I want. If you break the Marrow Sect by chance, you can make great contributions and become a king or an official. At that time, you will no longer need your protection, and you will be able to completely get rid of your burden. Therefore, since what I said today has been explained, in the future, I will not see you again Alright."

Hua Shenchi froze completely. Seeing that Yi Qingchen turned to leave, she subconsciously pulled Yi Qingchen's wrist, "Wait..." Yi Qingchen didn't give him this chance, and took it back in time. Without looking back, Fang walked towards the outside of the tent, raised his hand and opened the curtain, and saw Caizhu standing at the door, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there.

When Yi Qingchen passed by Caizhu, he smiled and said, "Miss Caizhu, I want to go to the village to have a look, but I don't know the way, I wonder if I can help you, Miss Lao, to lead the way?" Caizhu smiled Responding, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Hua Shenchi's dejected expression behind the curtain, but he didn't choose to speak, but turned his head and stared at Yi Qingchen who was still smiling.

It wasn't until Old Man Agu led Shen Sheng and the others into the forest that Yi Qingchen followed Caizhu towards the village. The scenery along the way was beautiful, but Yi Qingchen didn't look into it at all.His mind was full of Hua Shenchi's hurt expression, he didn't seem to be pretending, he originally thought that Hua Shenchi knew that Caizhu was eavesdropping, so he suddenly threw out whether he was interested in Caizhu. The problem is that I thought of doing my best, so I said a lot of excessive words.

But Hua Shenchi...it doesn't seem to be that way.

He really seemed to think he was angry.

Although I was really angry after hearing Hua Shenchi's distrustful words, and said a lot of exaggerated words, but they were not out of my heart, but a moment of anger, and I felt a little regretful after I calmed down.

After I go back, I have to apologize and explain to him that all this is just a misunderstanding?

Or... to be wrong is to be wrong...

keep mistake?

Just keep it like this, and solve the problems in the village without involving Hua Shenchi?It seems that it is not impossible...

"Young master..." Caizhu said suddenly, and brought Yi Qingchen back to his senses. Yi Qingchen smiled with her, but Caizhu said helplessly, "Young master, you have a very heavy heart. When I look at the scenery in my heart, the scenery has become worse.”

Yi Qingchen scratched his hair, "Is there any? I think these scenery are quite beautiful..."

Caizhu put her hands on her hips helplessly and said, "Did you quarrel with that young man? Because of me? Actually, I have some affection for you, young master, but I can also see that you have a good relationship with that young man, the girl from Miao Jiang Although I like to be straightforward, but I will never do anything to destroy other people's marriage, if this happened because of me, my sin would be serious, and Goddess Wolf God will not forgive me."

Because Caizhu was still a young girl, Yi Qingchen looked at her like a younger sister, and subconsciously wanted to pat her on the head, but when he thought of Hua Shenchi's injured expression, he restrained his movements and turned around. And smiled and said, "It's not your fault, it's me who made him angry."

"I thought that we already had full trust between the two of us, but I never thought that he might actually be far more disturbed than I imagined... The reason why he is as calm as he is also disturbed should be It's my fault too...but this may be the last time I'll make him angry."

Caizhu blinked suspiciously, "The last time? Why?"

Yi Qingchen closed his eyes and smiled wryly, "You should know what our southward march is for, right?"

Caizhu hesitated and asked, "Fight against the Harmful Food Marrow Sect?"

Yi Qingchen nodded, "That's right..." Caizhu immediately understood the meaning of Yi Qingchen's words with a look of disappointment, and the latter hurriedly shook his head and said, "My lord, you won't die. will win."

Yi Qingchen laughed lightly when he heard the words, "Did you want us to win?"

Caizhu was stunned for a moment, then scratched her cheeks, and changed the subject in embarrassment, "Master, you are joking, of course I hope you will win." Pointing to a field in the distance, he said, "Look, sir, that is water. car!"

When Caizhu raised her hand, the silver bracelet on her wrist swayed, and the sound of the bells was crisp and clear, which made Yi Qingchen unconsciously look at them, and counted the number of bells, five, five in both hands.

Yi Qingchen smiled knowingly, and looked in the direction that the colorful bamboos pointed, and saw a ditch hidden in the large rice paddies, in the ditch was built a wooden waterwheel as high as a house, babbling Babbling and turning, the men and women farming in the fields greeted the colorful bamboos one after another, and the colorful bamboos also greeted loudly. The village seemed to be wrapped in a simple and happy atmosphere.

Before noon, Yi Qingchen followed Caizhu to many places in the village, but didn't notice anything unusual, until he passed by a dilapidated earth temple, he stopped thoughtfully and asked Caizhu, "" Is there no one cleaning this earth temple on weekdays?"

Caizhu put her index finger against her lower lip, and explained, "Because the Goddess of Wolf is not as effective as before, except for the old people in the village, no one believes in this anymore."

Yi Qingchen realized the contradiction in Caizhu's words, and asked with a smile, "But you said earlier that Empress Wolf God would not forgive you?"

Caizhu subconsciously wanted to cover her mouth, although she stopped in time, but was still noticed by Yi Qingchen, but he just smiled, waiting for Caizhu's lame explanation next.After a while, Cai Zhu really explained, "Because A Niang is relatively old, A Niang made me believe in these since I was a child."

Yi Qingchen nodded his head pretending to be clear, but he was very clear in his heart, if Caizhu really believed in this, he would never let the Earth Temple be so dilapidated, let alone walk past it indifferently, it is clear It's just that I'm used to the dilapidated reaction of the Earth Temple.

Yi Qingchen didn't continue to embarrass Caizhu anymore, and walked forward, Caizhu followed behind, but she didn't have the vitality before, she just followed behind Yi Qingchen timidly, as if she was worried that Yi Qingchen would ask some questions Some do not.

Yi Qingchen sensed Caizhu's mood, chuckled lightly, and said, "Miss Caizhu's mother can make good wine, so she must be a woman with ingenuity."

Caizhu heaved a sigh of relief, and then smiled, "Yes, when she was young, Auntie was the most beautiful girl in the village. Many young men liked him, but she chose Daddy."

Yi Qingchen walked on the ridge of the field, quietly listening to the stories of the colorful bamboos, the soil under his feet was soft and sticky, and the air was very fresh. The villagers were busy in the empty paddy field, doing their own thing without making any noise The earth talked loudly, and there was silence between the heaven and the earth, only the chirping of birds and the crisp voices of colorful bamboos.

"But later my father went out to do business, and when the war broke out, he died in a foreign country, and he couldn't even find his body. He only left some relics and asked someone to bring them back to his pregnant mother." Cai Zhu didn't see her when she said these words. How sad it is, it should be a long time ago, and the hatred has faded away, "Auntie and the others said that they didn't even see the bones. Who knows if they really passed away? Maybe they just wanted an excuse to leave this remote place. But Auntie I believed in my father, so I chose to believe with my mother, but in fact, I have never even seen his face..."

Yi Qingchen said with a slight smile, "If you can think like this, you should let it go."

Caizhu also laughed together, "After all, I live a very happy life, there is really no need to get entangled in the matter of a person I have never met."
