[Xiaofu colleague] What I'm thinking

(One)

Yang Xiao rode the horse quickly, and ran a long distance. As soon as she saw a pedestrian, Xiaofu started to shout for help, but when those passers-by saw Yang Xiao like this, they knew that he must not be an ordinary person, and naturally they did not. Dare to ask, after a few times, Yang Xiao finally couldn't bear Xiaofu's noise, touched her acupuncture points, then carried her and continued to run forward quickly.Passing by a village before dark, Yang Xiao didn't go to lodge. He ran until it was completely dark, and then built a fire by the roadside. Sitting on the ground ten steps away from Xiaofu, she took out a water bag and gave Xiaofu some water.Xiaofu didn't understand what he was going to do, he neither allowed himself to speak nor talked to himself, after a while he took some dry food from his bag and wanted to feed Xiaofu, but Xiaofu refused to eat, Yang Xiao also refused to eat. He didn't force it, and after a long time he said: "I'm asleep, so you should too." Then he went to sleep on his own, and Xiaofu woke up inexplicably.

The next day, Yang Xiao called Xiaofu up very early, carried her on the horse, and rode fast all the way without resting or talking, which puzzled Xiaofu, but as she rode farther and farther, Xiaofu Gradually, I found that the surrounding scenery was a little familiar, and this turned out to be the way back to Longyou County.Finally, the moon was hanging in the sky, Xiaofu raised her eyes and looked up, like a curved crescent eyebrow, blocked by a few wisps of light clouds, emitting a dim light, Yang Xiao pulled the horse's reins, slowing down the horse's speed ——They arrived outside the city of Longyou County, but even though Yang Xiao hurriedly rushed without stopping for a moment, and didn't rush to get here before the gate of the city, he just lit a fire and hugged Xiaofu as he did last night, and got off the horse and sat down.

"This is outside the city of Longyou County. I'll untie the acupoints for you. Don't run and scream, okay?" Xiaofu blinked and agreed, and Yang Xiao stretched out his hand to untie her acupoints. The acupoints were so heavy, Xiaofu hadn't moved all day, and her body was sore, so she rubbed her arms and legs subconsciously.At this moment, she understood that Yang Xiao didn't intend to harm her at all, and she didn't intend to run away, even though she couldn't understand what he did.She didn't speak, so Yang Xiao kept silent, just adding dead branches to the fire.The two of them were silent for a long time, but Xiao Fu was a little bit sorry: "You...what is the intention of this?" Yang Xiao poked the fire with the branch in his hand, and after a while he said: "You Emei people are really stubborn. Haven't you been down the mountain for many years? I told you. The further west you go, the closer you are to the border of Xuanzhengyuan. Go north again. , if you don’t pay attention, you will step on the ground of the Sixth Recruitment Division, although they are not all unreasonable people, but the people of all ethnic groups over there are very chaotic, you young lady, you better be careful.", Xiao Seeing that he sent her back all the way, Fu had no doubts about his words. Seeing that the city gate was closed tightly, it was difficult for him to stay with her in this wilderness all night. After thinking for a while, she stammered again: "It's hard to bother you. Staying outside the city this night has worked hard for you. There are also farmers nearby. Isn't it good for us to find a place to stay for the night?" Yang Xiao still had no expression on his face, but Xiaofu heard him With a light laugh: "Miss, you and I are going to stay here alone, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation, if you want to go, I don't care." Xiaofu immediately blushed, and said in a whisper: "You If this person talks nonsense again, then I won’t go.” Seeing her like this, Yang Xiao laughed again for a while, and stopped talking.In the evening of late spring, when the wind blew up in the middle of the night, it was still cool, and the closed city not far away looked lonely and solemn. Xiaofu thought that it was only when she was in her teens that she fought against the world for the first time. In the past, she only knew about martial arts and kung fu, but she thought all this was quite interesting. She secretly smiled, and suddenly remembered something.

"Let me ask you," Xiao Fu's soft voice sounded like the beginning of a qin melody in the night, "You know about my great uncle, but you also said that his death has nothing to do with you. What is going on?" ?”, Yang Xiao looked up and saw Xiaofu’s serious face, took a breath helplessly: “I said it’s irrelevant, it’s irrelevant, I’m too lazy to explain to you Emei faction.”, “But we all in Emei say... ....", "Everyone said that Gu Hongzi was killed by me, the great demon of Mingjiao, Yang Xiao. It was spread by people who didn't know about it. I said that it has nothing to do with me. Even if you don't believe me, you can't beat me Can you stop asking?" Xiaofu saw that he really didn't look like a bad person, and she couldn't be swayed by rumors, so she went back to Emei and asked her master if she had anything to say, so she stopped asking, but Yang Xiao spoke again. "Miss Ji, how many years have you been in the Emei School?", "How do you know my surname is Ji?", "I asked the owner of the inn.", "...Ten years.", "Your kung fu is not bad. You should be a person with a very high level of understanding. The bad thing is that the old nun Juejue is too rigid. He is also rigid in being a human being, and he is rigid in teaching you martial arts moves. I think it is delaying you.", "Hugh Slander my master again!" Seeing him talking nonsense again, Xiaofu couldn't help scolding: "I, the Emei faction, can't get along with you, no matter whether there is hatred or not, it's better to have less contact in the future, this time you escort me back, it's me What I owe you, I will definitely pay it back when I have a chance in the future." "Hahaha," Yang Xiao laughed again after hearing Xiaofu's words: "Then I will wait for you to save my life in the future." Xiaofu knew it was Yang Xiao She is saying that her martial arts are not as good as him, yes, she has heard about him before, and she has seen his appearance in the past few days, and knows that with his martial arts, there are not many things that cannot be handled in this world. She needed to repay him by herself, and she couldn't say anything more. The two of them sat blankly all night, and finally waited until the city gate opened.

"You must have something to do in this county. It's not far from Emei, so let's leave it alone and be more careful when you go out." Yang Xiao instructed, turned around and left on horseback. Xiaofu watched The view of his leaving back made me feel a little sorry, wanted to thank him loudly, but couldn't say it after all, and stared blankly at his back getting farther and farther away. As they entered the city, thinking of going to see Junior Sister Bei quickly, they put all this behind their heads.

(two)

Xiaofu hurried to the home of Shimei and Aunt Bei, but only saw a letter full of guilt.Junior sister Bei said that she recovered from her illness at her aunt's house, and while she was waiting for Xiaofu, she played around and played here and there. She didn't want to meet a few senior sisters in the teacher's school at the market that day. It is said that the direction is to the east, and now the people in the sect are passing letters to each other, and they are going to the east together.The senior sisters that Bei Jinyi met were originally going to the north. After hearing the news, they made a detour back to Emei, and planned to continue to go east. When they met Bei Jinyi here, she was picking clay figurines on the street , the senior sister almost twisted the ears of Junior Sister Bei angrily, and scolded her for being lazy and playful, for not taking the task assigned by the master to heart, and then said that she wanted to take Bei Jinyi to the east, Bei Jinyi said When Ji Xiaofu came back to walk together, the senior sisters said that she must be lazy again. When she was a child, she always found various reasons not to practice. This time, she will bring her along no matter what. I violated the orders of my senior sisters, so I had no choice but to follow them.In the letter, after Bei Jinyi asked Xiaofu to go back to Longyou County, she must go back to Emei by herself first, and she must not go east alone to find their group. You can go the same way.

Xiaofu received the letter and planned to go back to Mount Emei the next day, but when she went to bed that night, she dreamed of the boat she was on on the way to apprentice to Mount Emei that year, and the luxuriant grass on Parrot Island. I am homesick. This is the tenth year since she left home. During these ten years, she has not been back home a few times. Now the elder brother, elder sister, and second brother are all married, and the third brother is also planning to discuss marriage. Now, she wants to go home to see them. It would be inconvenient if she were with fellow teachers and sisters. Anyway, if she goes alone, others will not think that she is looking for the dragon sword. Why don't Back to Mount Emei, go home and stay for a few days, then hurry up, go east to find Junior Sister Bei and the others.

After making up her mind, Xiaofu got up early the next morning to say goodbye to her uncle and aunt, boarded a boat heading east, and went all the way down the Yangtze River. The boat rippled on the water, and the morning fog Gradually it spread out in the sunlight, and the shore was already lush with greenery. Xiaofu smelled the smell of summer in the air, which was the most enthusiastic smell.

The way down to Hanyang is smooth, and most of the time, you can also meet the westerly wind. The boat arrived in Fuzhou in only three days. The boatman docked to unload the cargo in the afternoon of this day. Please take care of yourself. Everyone went ashore for dinner. Fu also got off the boat, thinking about strolling along the shore and buying some dry food.Fuzhou is also a big wharf, and there are many small vendors selling goods on the street. Xiaofu wandered around the handkerchief stall for a long time, and the rouge lady took her to try the color again, and finally found a small shop selling tofu. , I just sat down and ordered a bowl to eat, when suddenly I saw a woman in rough clothes, yelling and running into the store, followed by a group of people, who were also running towards the store, the people in the store were startled and shouted. Standing up, Xiaofu saw that the girl looked around and couldn't find a way out. When she panicked, she raised half of the scissors in her hand and was about to stab them into her stomach. She quickly threw the teacup in her hand. Hitting the girl's hand, the scissors fell to the ground.

At this moment, that group of people also ran in. Xiaofu saw that they were dressed like domestic servants of a noble family. For some reason, they were embarrassing a girl. Just as she was about to go to help her, an old man suddenly walked in from behind them. He hugged the girl and cried: "Annu, don't do something stupid!" The girl kept crying, and the man dressed as a servant was about to pull them.How could Xiaofu have seen it before, guessing that these servants were not her opponents at all, but she was afraid of accidentally hurting the shopkeeper and the old man and girl, so she rushed into the group of servants, dragged the girl and the old man and ran out of the shop Door.The group of people followed, and Xiao Fu was about to clean them up when she heard a familiar voice: "Miss Ji?!" When Xiao Fu looked up, Yang Xiao had changed into a new white robe and was standing on the road with his hands behind his back. On the other side, he quickly realized that the group of people behind were coming for Xiaofu, and he dealt with them with a few strokes without any effort.

Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly supported the old man and the girl to sit down on the side of the street, and was about to ask, but the old man patted the steps and sighed: "How wonderful!" What happened to Xiaofu and the others? The girl was still crying and unable to speak a word. "Miss and sir kindly sent this group of people away for us today, but now we don't even dare to go home!" The old man finally said, "Why?", "Hey, this, this is the little girl." Then The old man pointed at the girl and said, "I'm going to get married next month, but she doesn't obey this rule! Isn't this going to kill our whole family!", the girl cried and shook her head: "Daddy, I don't want it, I don't want it. Don’t go!”, “Anu, if you are like this, not only our family will not be able to survive, but the whole brother’s family will also be unable to survive!” the old man sighed.Xiaofu went in without knowing it, but Yang Xiao came from behind them and said to the old man: "Old man, you get up first, since we have encountered this matter, it is for the sake of this young lady, I will help you to the end ", the old man looked up at Yang Xiao, and suddenly pulled the girl to kneel in front of Yang Xiao, kowtowing: "If the husband can save our family, we must repay the husband!", "Get up .” Yang Xiao helped them up: “Follow me.”

Xiaofu and her group followed Yang Xiao and came to a blacksmith's shop not far away. When the blacksmith saw Yang Xiao, he rushed out to greet him. "Second brother Xiao, I have something I have to trouble you for.", "If you have anything to do, just open your mouth, and there is no trouble to talk about.", "Old man, what is your name, where do you live, who are your in-laws? Tell Second Brother Xiao." Yang Xiao turned to the old man and said. "Old man, my surname is Chen. I grow and sell vegetables near the city. This is my daughter Anu. She has booked the Li family in the east of the city. She will move in next month." Xiaofu didn't understand, Why is it that the girl is about to commit suicide when the wedding is approaching, but the second brother Xiao nodded: "I understand, old man, don't worry, I'll make arrangements, and I'll be fine when I come back. When should my daughter get married, or when should she get married?", said and left.

Xiaofu and Yang Xiao accompanied the old man Chen and his daughter to wait in Brother Xiao's blacksmith's shop. Seeing that Yang Xiao was silent, they didn't speak much. Only Xiaofu comforted the girl softly, and asked for water. Come make tea for everyone.When the evening approached, Second Brother Xiao came back and said to Old Man Chen, "It's done, old man, when you go out in the future, just say that you are relatives of my Second Xiao's family. No one dares to bully you and your in-laws." Old Man Chen listened He pulled his daughter to kneel down and kowtowed to them again, Second Brother Xiao hurriedly helped them up, gave them some instructions, and sent them out the door.Seeing that the girl was rescued, Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly remembered something, couldn't help shouting: "Oops!", and then ran to the pier. Following her to the pier, Xiaofu saw that the surface of the river was already dyed red by the setting sun, and there were only a few boats moored on the pier for the night, so where was her own boat!Xiaofu was delayed for half a day, even if the boatman wanted to wait for her, he didn't want to waste the time of other guests, and the boat had already left, only the river was flowing quietly in the evening.

(three)

"Oh, it turned out that Ms. Ji wanted to help others, but she missed her boarding!" Yang Xiao couldn't help laughing from behind, "What's so funny!" Xiaofu rolled her eyes at Yang Xiao, "Didn't you go back to Mount Emei? Why, why are you here again?" Xiaofu saw that Yang Xiao really met her by chance this time, so she didn't hide it from him: "I want to go home.", "Where is your home?", " Hanyang." Xiaofu replied. "Well then, I chartered a boat, and I just want to go east. I'll take you back, and we'll leave tonight." Yang Xiao seemed to be thinking for a while before he said, "This...no need, I'll wait for one night and hire a boat tomorrow." "I won't hurt you. My boat is very big. You live in the stern and I live in the bow. There are a few men and women on board. They are not alone. Men and widows, don’t worry.”, “No need, I’m fine.”, “I see that you have hesitated to speak a few times today, I’m afraid you still don’t understand why the girl’s matter, I’ll tell you later, And your uncle's death, I will tell you what you want to know later, don't miss it, I usually don't like to talk so much with people.", "No need, I will go my own way Just wait here overnight.", "Miss Ji is still in the way of you and me?", "That's not what I meant, I...", "Then stop talking." Yang Xiao no longer gave Xiaofu a chance to refuse, stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder, walked to his boat in a few steps with light work, then ordered the crew to start the boat, and then pushed Xiaofu down on the deck. Sitting in the chair, by the time Xiaofu broke free from his hand, the boat had already sailed far away from the river bank.

"Didn't you want to tell me about today's events?" Xiaofu was dragged onto his boat by Yang Xiao, and there was no way to go down. In fact, she felt that Yang Xiao was not a bad person. Borrow his boat to go home, and seeing that he has not said a word, it is extremely embarrassing for two people sitting on the deck like this, so he asked this question. "What's so hard to understand." Yang Xiao poured a glass of wine and replied, "Of course it's hard to understand. That girl is about to get married, but she wants to commit suicide. Maybe it's because she doesn't like her fiancé." Fu thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "No, her father said something that would harm her in-laws, or she was attracted by some rich man and wanted to snatch her away, how unreasonable is that! ", "Miss Ji, you are still very lucky." Yang Xiao didn't seem to answer Xiaofu's question, "Why?" In Hanyang, you are the young lady of the old hero family of Hanyang Golden Whip Ji?" Xiaofu knew that Yang Xiao and other people in the world were well-informed, so she didn't hide it from him, and replied: "Exactly.", "Your birth In a big family, grew up in Emei Mountain, learned martial arts well, but don’t know what kind of life these ordinary Han people and southerners live.” Yang Xiao poured another glass of wine, and paused for a long time before continuing: “This matter I don’t know how to tell you, but do you know that the Yuan court put the Mongols as the first class, the Semu people as the second class, and the Han Chinese and Southerners as the third and fourth class?”, “I know. ", "In order to restrict the Han and Nan people, the Yuan Dynasty adopted the Baojia system. Every ten households of Han and Nan people had one Jia, ten Jia and one Bao, but the Mongols or Semu people were appointed as Jiachang Baochang to manage them. They are like slaves of Jiachang and Baochang's family. They can be beaten, scolded and insulted by them at will, and their property can be taken by them at will. Home...stay for a few days.", "How many days?" Xiaofu took a while to understand, and then exclaimed: "How can this be done?!", "Then there is no way, so many Han People, the first child they give birth to is often dropped to death, because they are afraid that the child they will give birth will be a Mongol or Semu person." Yang Xiao added, Xiaofu was stunned, unable to speak for a long time.

"We saved one Chen family and one Li family today, but we don't know how many more Chen families and Li families there are." Yang Xiao looked at the moon in the sky, which was covered by the dark clouds drifting over, and then looked at Xiaofu. , said to her: "Miss Ji is a chivalrous woman, it has nothing to do with how good you are at Emei swordsmanship, it's just because you do what you say and do what you say, helping the weak and the poor, but Miss Ji also knows how to protect herself, Don't get yourself into trouble.", "I...", "If I hadn't met Ms. Ji today, I wouldn't have cared about this kind of thing. Second brother Xiao is a blacksmith, but secretly it's me The disciples of the Ming Cult, he is good at martial arts, the only reason is that he has been a martial artist since he was a child, no one around is not afraid of him, not even the Mongols dare to provoke him, today he came out and asked the chief Jia and the Baochang said that the Chen and Li families are his relatives, and no one will dare to bully them in the future, but Second Brother Xiao can't help everyone. If he does this a few times, some people will doubt him and expose him. Mingjiao's identity, those ordinary civilians, if they don't have Miss Ji's family background and martial arts protection, some people with good fate will be fine if they meet good local officials, but if they meet those who are not good, they will only bully the Han people He Nanren, there are countless such things, how could they all meet Miss Ji and Second Brother Xiao?" When Yang Xiao said this, he did not bring any emotion, thinking that he was used to such things Understand.Xiaofu felt very sad, and then Yang Xiao said: "That's why my master said that the first task of my disciples in martial arts is to make enemies of those Tartars who bully the people...", "Your master said It’s a good place, and this is also the duty of my Mingjiao.” Yang Xiao lay on the chair, still looking at the sky, and said softly word by word: “Burn my remnant body, the holy fire is raging, what joy is there in life, why bother in death, Good eliminates evil, only because of the light, joy and sorrow, all return to dust, pity me, the world, there are many sorrows, pity me, the world, there are many sorrows.”, “What is this?” Xiaofu asked, “The teachings of our Mingjiao.” , "I have pity on the people of the world, there are so many worries," Xiaofu couldn't help recalling: "I didn't expect that your Mingjiao also cares about the world.", "Everyone in the world calls us the Demon Cult. However, I think most people have misunderstood us deeply, and in my opinion, as long as you have the heart of the world and have the ambition to drive out the Tartars, it is good. Those so-called decent families have one thing on the surface, but another thing behind their backs , but for the sake of fame and interests, forgetting all the common people in the world by any means is completely wrong, but you are still young, so I won't discuss these with you." Yang Xiao glanced at Xiaofu.

"Then my uncle's death really has nothing to do with you?" Xiaofu still insisted on this question, "I really didn't kill him." Yang Xiao was a little helpless, it seemed that he would not answer Miss Ji's question today, She will continue to ask in the future: "Back then, your master uncle insisted on coming to me for a martial arts competition. I couldn't get bothered by him, so I agreed. He even went to find his junior sister, oh, it's your master. Borrowed the Yitian sword, but before the Yitian sword was unsheathed, he lost to me. On the way back to Emei, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he died of anger. Can you blame me for this!", Xiaofu was taken aback, she didn't expect the death of Uncle Gu Hongzi, who made everyone in Emei resentful, to be in such a situation, but she still refused to show that she believed in Yang Xiao, so she puffed her mouth and said: "I will ask my master about this." Then I thought about it again and asked Yang Xiao: "My senior sisters said that you also snatched the Yitian Sword." "Why is it me again?" Yang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "You The master uncle died on the way back to Mount Emei, and the Yitian sword was snatched by the Mongols. In Yang Xiao’s eyes, the Yitian sword is just a pile of scrap metal. What do I want it for?” He paused to think. After thinking about it, she said: "If you are so concerned about Yitianjian, when I am free, I will go to the Mongols and get it back for you." , said to take it back, so he replied: "Okay, then I will wait for you to find it for me." Yang Xiao turned his face to look at Xiaofu, smiled slightly, and said: "Ji Miss, there are people all over the world in my heart. If you can become the head of Emei in the future, you will definitely take it as your duty to drive out the Tartars and save the common people. At that time, I will naturally be willing to retrieve the Yitian Sword for your Emei faction.”, “Mr. I don’t know how to be the head of the sect.”, “Why? I think Miss Ji is very enlightened, and she must be appreciated by your master.”, “No,” Xiao Fu never thought of being the head of the sect. Thinking about it, he explained to Yang Xiao casually: "I am engaged, and I will never stay in the Emei Sect forever." "I am engaged? I wonder which family's young master is so blessed?" Yang Xiao naturally said Asked, "You don't know me, so I'll tell you what to do." Xiaofu replied, "That's a pity, I still expect you and me to go back to Guangmingding!" Yang Xiao teased Xiaofu with a sly smile. , "What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiaofu replied angrily, "That's right, if you can get someone like Miss Ji, then the young master will love you in every possible way. No wonder you look down on our Guangmingding." There was still a smile on Yang Xiao's face, "What are you talking about, we haven't met a few times, you say you love him.", "That's not good! You haven't seen him much, how do you know that you like him, in case He doesn't suit you, but he has lived up to Ms. Ji.", "Don't talk nonsense, what do you like or not, the marriage was arranged for me by Jia Yan and Jiaci, so it's naturally good." "It's good, you, Ms. Ji What if I don't like him?" Yang Xiao kept smiling, "My parents have decided for me, so I will naturally like him in the future!" Xiaofu became a little angry, "Then I hope that Miss Ji really likes this young master, husband and wife Conjugal love, grow old forever. "When Yang Xiao said this, it seemed that he no longer had a hint of ridicule. He turned his head to look at Xiaofu, and there was some sincerity in his smile.

Although Xiaofu believed in her heart that Yang Xiao was not a bad person, when she heard his teasing, she stopped talking to him. The two of them remained silent for a long time, and the boat continued to sail eastward. Yes, Yang Xiao asked Xiaofu: "Are you afraid?" Xiaofu didn't know what he was asking, so she shook her head, "Then you should rest, if you are afraid, light a candle, it will be fine.", Yang Xiao Standing up, she told Xiaofu: "Go back to your cabin and rest. If you have something to do, you can find those women. If you can't do it, let them call me.", "It will be fine." He said angrily, thinking that it was you who dragged me onto the boat, what else could happen if you didn't cause trouble, "That's the best, the river is in a hurry, Miss Ji had better stay in the cabin." Yang Xiao Still with a playful smile, he answered Xiaofu's words.

The next day Xiaofu stayed in the cabin after washing and refusing to come out, but Yang Xiao knocked on her door: "Miss Ji, we have to pass through several towns on this way, I will ask them to stop the boat and go shopping with you later." But you have to make sure you don’t run away.”, “Then you’d better not stop the boat, as soon as your boat touches the shore, I will run away without a trace!”, “Miss Ji is talented, but if you walk with me, it must be I can’t run away.”, “You are a very strange person, and I didn’t ask you to take me home. If you insisted on letting me go with you, did you force someone to send you home! I will definitely run if I have a chance later. !” Xiaofu answered angrily in the cabin. "Haha, Miss Ji can give it a try." Yang Xiao didn't seem to care about Xiaofu's attitude.

When they arrived at Wushan in a while, Yang Xiao really asked the guys to bring the boat to the shore, and took Xiaofu to the market for a stroll, and Xiaofu had no choice but to walk obediently by his side.He said that Xiaofu had stayed on the mountain for a long time, and he brought her to see Qiqi, but he seemed to be the happiest, "Do you want to buy clay figurines?", "Hey, the fruit food made by this person really looks like it! ", "I'll buy you bunches of candied haws, I think you girls like to eat them."... He was the one talking all the way. "You don't seem to have seen these things before." Xiaofu laughed at Yang Xiao, "Yes, if Miss Ji hadn't walked together, I wouldn't care about these things!" Yang Xiao said, Xiaofu didn't want to talk to him, just cared Looking at the stalls selling handkerchief gouache on the street.

"There's a temple over there!" Xiaofu looked in the direction Yang Xiao was pointing at, and sure enough there was a temple with yellow walls and red tiles standing in front of it. The cloth strips, the fireworks in the big incense burner, "Are you going to worship?" Yang Xiao asked Xiaofu, "I won't go", "Why don't you go, you are here, you must go to worship." Yang Xiao Grabbing Xiaofu's sleeve: "Come with me." As if there was no negotiating, Xiaofu had no choice but to let him go.When they entered the temple gate, a great master in cassock stood up, bowed his palms together, and said, "Almsgiver, please do as you please. If you want to ask anything, just ask the Bodhisattva." "Does the Bodhisattva answer?" Yang Xiao asked. Asked with a smile, "Naturally, you can't answer everything. What the benefactor wants, you have to do your best. The Bodhisattva only cares about the destiny. If you cultivate more good karma, the Bodhisattva will help the benefactor a little more." Yang Xiao smiled and handed it to Xiaofu. Burning incense, the two worshiped in front of the Buddha.Before leaving, he took out a small ingot of gold, handed it to the master, and said, "Thank you, master. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas don't want these tangible fools, but we mortals can only borrow it. Please do more for me, master." We added a few sticks of incense to the Bodhisattva.", "You don't have to be polite." The master didn't refuse, and Xiao Fu followed Yang Xiao out of the temple gate.

"Unexpectedly, Yang Zuoshi, the majestic Ming religion, still believes in Buddhism." Seeing the opportunity, Xiaofu also teased Yang Xiao, "I believe in everything." Yang Xiao replied, "Then what wish did you make?", " Nothing is allowed.", "Then why do you come to pray to Buddha?" Xiaofu asked, "The master has said that many things in this world are done according to the fate of the world, everything depends on oneself, praying to God and worshiping Buddha is just out of awe. Respect gods and Buddhas, reverence and respect this way of heaven." Xiaofu nodded, she had practiced Zen and enlightened Taoism in Mount Emei in the past few years, but she agreed with Yang Xiao's words, "Then what wish did you make?" Yang Xiao asked Xiaofu, "But It is to ask my family and master to be healthy, stable, happy and worry-free throughout my life. I have worshiped the Buddha in Mount Emei for ten years, and this is the only wish I made." Xiaofu replied, "Miss Ji is really a kind person." Yang Xiao laughed again : "Didn't you ask for something for yourself? For example, marry the young man who is engaged to you smoothly?", "I told you this, but I didn't tell you to make fun of me." Xiaofu looked at him angrily. Looking at Yang Xiao, "Miss Ji, don't be angry, girls will marry sooner or later, there is nothing wrong with that." Yang Xiao began to tease Xiaofu again: "But you are young, I am afraid you don't understand, girls marry, or Marry someone you like, you may not like the son who is engaged to you.", "Why not, my parents decided, I naturally like it!", "Is Miss Ji happy every time she thinks of him? You Do you think about him all the time?", "What does this have to do with you!" Xiaofu replied angrily, Yang Xiao saw that Xiaofu was really upset, and suddenly said seriously: "I think Miss Ji In this way, I don’t even know what it’s like to like someone, I’m afraid that Miss Ji will delay my life, but it’s serious to go back to Guangmingding with me to learn martial arts for a few years.” Xiaofu turned her head and gave Yang Xiao a hard look, refusing to answer. Yang Xiao stopped talking about his words.They strolled around the market for a while. Xiaofu was originally pretty, and there were no such things as rouge and gouache on Mount Emei, so she rarely used them. Now I met them in the store, but I just like the rouge and gouache. Exquisite bottles and boxes, but I don't know how to choose. The shopkeeper recommended some to her, and Yang Xiao stood behind her and watched.

When they returned to the boat, it was time for dinner, and the waiters and ladies had already placed a lot of dishes on the table. Yang Xiao asked them to divide two portions and send them to Xiaofu's room to eat, "I Seeing you sitting with me, you feel uncomfortable." He was not annoyed, just smiled, "I have never eaten with a man alone." Xiaofu felt a little embarrassed when she saw him like this, "I know , it’s inconvenient.” Then he turned around and was about to go back to his own cabin, but he suddenly turned his head and called Xiaofu, “By the way, Miss Ji.” He reached out and handed something to Xiaofu : "This is for you."Seeing that he was holding a box in his hand, Xiaofu was a little surprised: "This one for me?" "It's for you. I picked it up when you were looking at rabbits on the street just now." Yang Xiao stretched the box forward. "Open it and have a look. A teenage lady really needs one or two pieces of jewelry." Xiao Fu wanted to refuse him, but felt that it would be too embarrassing for Yang Xiao. After thinking about it, she took it. After thanking Yang Xiao, he went back to the cabin.

When Yang Xiao handed the box to Xiaofu just now, she was a little embarrassed. She only heard him say it was a piece of jewelry, and she just took it away and finished it. After dinner, she opened it and took a look.Inside was a silver hairpin, with green peach petals carved from jade on the head, and a few transparent beads dotted in the middle. It was exquisite and delicate. Xiaofu really liked it very much. Her snow-white complexion is so appropriate, but she never wears jewelry. Now that she received this hairpin, she was too embarrassed to wear it, so she wrapped the hairpin with a handkerchief and put it in a brocade box. After thinking about it, Another layer of handkerchief and another layer of clothes were wrapped outside the brocade box, and they were put away in the bundle and put away.Seeing that the night outside the window was getting dark, Xiaofu wanted to go out to see if there was a moon, but she was afraid of the inconvenience of meeting Yang Xiao, so she turned on the lamp and went to bed early.Yang Xiao really sat outside for quite a while, until a gust of wind blew up at night, and the cabin door rang, so he got up and went back to rest.

When Yang Xiao got out of the cabin in the early morning, he saw Xiaofu leaning on the side of the boat and looking at the river view, "You got up so early?" He seemed quite surprised, "We all have morning classes on the mountain." Xiaofu replied , "Oh, that's true, have you used your breakfast yet?", "Have used it." Xiaofu paused and added: "Hurry up and eat too.
