Chapter 31: Swimsuits

Guan Chao sent Father Mu to the door, Mu Zhiqiu hurriedly came up and followed, and several people didn't speak, got on the horse and went all the way west. When passing by the stall, Yan Feiyan couldn't help but glance at the ice foot coat that was enclosed in the glass, the round-faced shopkeeper was greeting the guests warmly with the two guys, and when he saw Yan Feiyan, he nodded slightly to show his greetings, his smile was neither humble nor arrogant, enthusiastic but not flattering.

"Owner, do you want to buy those footcoats for five hundred and fifty dollars?" Daddy Mu asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Yan Feiyan turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes rolled, he didn't answer him, he just knocked the horse's belly with his heels, the war horse ran briskly, out of the valley, without the fetters of the crowd, the war horse ran more and more freely, raised his head, shook the horse's mane, and hurried forward.

"Be careful!" Father Mu didn't dare to slack off, Yan Feiyan's riding skills were average, too fast and easy to have accidents, he wanted Mu Zhiqiu to catch up, and when he saw Mu Zhiqiu's nervous appearance sitting on the horse, he sighed, so he had to add a whip himself and hurried over.

After walking a short distance, Daddy Mu saw Yan Feiyan's mount grazing leisurely on the side of the road, but the horseback was empty, his heart was tight, and he was about to shout, but Yan Feiyan's voice came from the top of his head: "Dad, I'm here." ”

Father Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up to see that Yan Feiyan was sitting on a big rock with his legs crossed, waving to him. He hurriedly dismounted, Yan Feiyan stretched out his hand and pulled him up, and the two sat together on the boulder, with a tall tree behind him, huge leaves like a fan covering the strong noon sun, and several bell vines winding up, like a long green snake.

The dense green shade made Daddy Mu feel a lot cooler, he took off the round hat on his head and held it in his hand, reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said fearfully: "Owner of the village, you can't be so fast in the future, if you fall down, it will be terrible." ”

"Daddy, what did you talk to him about?" Yan Feiyan turned her head, glanced at Daddy Mu's wrinkled forehead, and stayed on his much thinner gray hair for a moment, and couldn't help but feel sad. Daddy Mu is really old, he is no longer the man who can let her rely on, a man like a mountain, if the White Tiger Village wants to survive, the responsibility must be borne by her, the owner of the village. Thinking of this, Yan Feiyan involuntarily straightened up.

Father Mu was stunned for a moment by Yan Feiyan's perseverance that was revealed in an instant, and only came back to his senses after a while, repeated what Sun Shao said to him just now, and finally looked at Yan Feiyan, hesitated for a moment and said: "Yanyan, I know you can't let go of the hatred in your heart, but, no matter what, it was a matter of the previous generation, you don't keep putting this burden on yourself, after all, you didn't understand anything at that time, and he was not born." This time, more than 20 years have passed, more than 20 years, you have grown up, I am also old, this body is not as good as before. ”

Father Mu clenched his fists and gently knocked his aching waist, his eyes were a little confused: "I think back then, a few of us followed the old village master to fight ......" He suddenly remembered his intentions, and quickly stopped talking again, and glanced at Yan Feiyan worriedly.

Yan Feiyan raised her hand and put it on Daddy Mu's shoulder, and patted it gently: "Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely let you stop worrying." When I grow up, I can afford the burden of White Tiger Village. ”

"We ...... Trust you. Daddy Mu smiled, but looked a little reluctant. What is Yan Feiyan's surname, he couldn't be clearer, although her martial arts skills are good, and she is also smart, but she is definitely not the kind of scheming, the small White Tiger Village, used to be supported by a few of them, Yan Feiyan is the shopkeeper, and now several of them are either dead or dying, and there is a powerful Sun Shao, Yan Feiyan wants to support the White Tiger Village alone It is definitely not so simple.

Unless, she is willing to really let go of her hatred and surrender to Sun Shao.

"Be his friend, at least not against him." Father Mu said softly: "Yanyan, he is different from Sun Ce......"

"yes, I see." Yan Feiyan was in no mood to listen any further, she stood up, grabbed the reins in the distance, and Mu Zhiqiu, who was so nervous that he was covered with sweat, waved his hand and shouted, "Ah Qiu, we are here." ”

Mu Zhiqiu glanced at them, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to let go of the reins in his hand, the little white horse under his crotch was impatient with her walking so slowly, shaking his head and tail from time to time, wanting to gallop to his heart's content, but where did Mu Zhiqiu dare to let go, she had just learned to ride a horse, and it was not easy to walk slowly, and she would definitely fall down if she ran again.

Finally walked in front of Yan Feiyan and Father Mu, Mu Zhiqiu couldn't help but complain: "Daddy, what are you doing running so fast, leaving me alone in the valley, what if a few robbers come out?" ”

"You're so ugly, the robbers won't like you when they come." Father Mu couldn't help but laugh.

"Daddy-" Mu Zhiqiu was ashamed and annoyed, and his voice was stretched out. Father Mu smiled, walked side by side with Yan Feiyan, and glanced at Yan Feiyan from time to time. Yan Feiyan was uncomfortable with him, and blushed and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Yanyan, it's time for you to choose a good family."

Yan Feiyan was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly ashamed, she added a whip violently, and the war horse neighed, spread its four hooves, and galloped away. Mu Zhiqiu was startled, and hurriedly shouted, "Daddy, wait for me." ”

"What are you afraid of, there is a stockade in front, where are there any robbers." Daddy Mu glanced at her, "You usually see that you are quite bold, why are you so nervous today?" ”

"I'm afraid of falling." Mu Zhiqiu pursed his lips and lowered his head. Father Mu sighed and complained, "You too, find someone to marry as soon as possible, so you don't always worry about me." ”

"I don't!" Mu Zhiqiu covered his mouth and said nervously: "I'm afraid of pain." ”

"We're not razors, we don't need to cut our teeth." Father Mu couldn't help but laugh because of his daughter's appearance, raised his riding boots and gently knocked Mu Zhiqiu's shoulder: "Don't hold it so tightly, your body follows the horse's movements, the rhythm is the same, and it will be better slowly." ”

Back to Baihu Village, Yan Feiyan immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter, she asked Daddy Mu to repeat Sun Shao's words, and then explained the situation in front of her, Baihu Village is not a tiger, but a fawn, Sun Shao is the tiger, Yiren is a group of wolves, if Baihu Village wants to survive, the only way to take refuge in Sun Shao, the most ferocious tiger. The Yiren will soon attack in a big way, and she decides to pay tribute to Sun Shao to ensure the safety of the White Tiger Village.

"In the future, Baihuzhai is no longer a cottage, but a family, we are all a family, and the two thousand hectares of land are not my land alone, but the common property of the entire family. I decided to take Daddy Mu as the patriarch and take charge of this family business, Daddy is old and lacks energy, Uncle Lei is in his prime, you are a fake patriarch to help Daddy. With these two thousand hectares of land, everyone will definitely be able to worry about food and clothing. ”

"What about you?" Lei Zi asked puzzledly: "If you don't become a patriarch, where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to war." Yan Feiyan pressed Lei Zi's shoulder and said with a forced smile: "I will go to the fifth general's tent to serve." ”

"How's that going to work?" Lei Zi categorically refused, and shook his head like a rattle: "How can I let you go to war, we are waiting at home." In my opinion, you are the patriarch, your father assists you, and I will join the army. He patted his chest and smiled: "Anyway, I always have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions than you." ”

Yan Feiyan patted Lei Zi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Uncle Lei, you still stay in the village with peace of mind, with you in the village, I don't have to worry about the safety in the village." You can rest assured, I will not be in danger when I go to the account of the fifth general, there are 500 female soldiers under the fifth general, they basically do not have to go to the battlefield, they are very safe. If you go, it's even more dangerous. ”

Lei Zi felt that it made sense, so he didn't say anything more. He also understood that if Sun Shao wanted to weaken the power of Baihuzhai, he would go to the army to be a death squad, even if Sun Shao didn't deliberately arrange it, his men would arrange the most dangerous tasks for him. Yan Feiyan is different, what can a female pawn do? Definitely not going to the front line, on the contrary it is much safer. What's more, except for Yan Feiyan, no one can represent Baihu Village.

Father Mu was silent, and only then did he say sullenly: "I'm old, and my legs and feet are not good, this patriarch's responsibility is too heavy, I can't pick it up, so you should come by yourself." When you go out to fight, Lei Zi is in charge, he is young and strong, and he has prestige, everyone can listen to him, and I will help you with anything. When I am old, it is time for me to enjoy the blessings. ”

Yan Feiyan didn't allow it, but Daddy Mu resolutely refused to take over the position of patriarch, and the others also thought that it would be better for Yan Feiyan to be the patriarch, so everyone discussed it for a while, and then decided to do so. Lei Zi also chose a few women with good martial arts skills as Yan Feiyan's personal guards, and told him that no matter what, you must keep the safety of the patriarch. If Yan Feiyan hadn't followed Sun Shangxiang, maybe Lei Zi would have been her personal guard.

Yan Feiyan was very calm, she said to Lei Zi: "Uncle Lei, don't bother so much, it doesn't matter if there are five more people or five less. ”

"Who said that?" Lei Zi, who usually rarely speaks, rolled his eyes: "How can other people rest assured?" ”

Yan Feiyan was a little surprised by him, and then there was a warm current in his heart. She nodded, took Mu Zhiqiu's hand and said, "Actually, it's enough to have Ah Qiu by my side." ”

"It's a pity, that kid in my family looks like me, and he can't get mixed in with the women's pile no matter how he pretends to be, otherwise it would be nice to pick him up and follow you." Lei Zi glanced at his son, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes like him, and looked very depressed. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Lei Ke, the son of Lei Zi, blushed, but he didn't dare to say anything. His martial arts skills are good, but as Lei Zi said, if he wants to pretend to be a woman, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

…… Sun Shao looked at the serious Yan Feiyan, rubbed his nose, and then praised hypocritically: "Lord Yan Zhai is really sincere, he actually brought so many people to help." ”

Yan Feiyan's face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, Sun Shao didn't turn around at all, and directly broke her intentions, which made her very embarrassed. Fortunately, Sun Shao didn't continue, he waved his hand and said: "Looking at you like this, you must have already taken a fancy to the Fifth General's Camp, so you can go." I'll start training tomorrow and I'll see it then. Saying that, Sun Shao couldn't help laughing, he was really curious, why did this familiar Yan Zhai master go to Sun Shangxiang's subordinates, could it be that she took a fancy to the beautiful swimsuit?

Yan Feiyan didn't know what Sun Shao was laughing at, so she left inexplicably. took Mu Zhiqiu and others to Sun Shangxiang's boat, Sun Shangxiang was watching his subordinates practice, and when she saw Yan Feiyan, she was a little surprised, her soldiers were secret soldiers, performing special tasks, what was Yan Feiyan doing as an outsider?

Yan Feiyan handed over Sun Shao's warrant, Sun Shangxiang saw it, but didn't say anything, raised his hand and called Bai Xuan: "Take them to get their clothes and armor, and prepare to go into the water after a while." By the way, Feiyan, how is your water surname? ”

Yan Feiyan hadn't answered yet, Mu Zhiqiu puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Please rest assured, General, we have a few Shui surnames are good." ”

"Alright, let's go change your clothes." Sun Shangxiang didn't say much, turned around and continued to look at the female pawn who was practicing her fists and kicks on the deck. Yan Feiyan glanced at it, and her confidence doubled, although these female pawns are good, they may not be better than her, and it should not be difficult to gain a firm foothold under Sun Shangxiang's hands.

"This is a pair of armor, a sword, and two sets of summer clothes...... Bai Fei put the clothes in front of Yan Feiyan, although Yan Feiyan knew that she would inevitably have to deal with Bai Fei in the future, but she still couldn't pull her face and laugh with Bai Yao, but Mu Zhiqiu was very excited to pick up the clothes one by one and look at them, and finally picked up a thin piece of clothing, tilted her head to look at it, and asked curiously: "Sister, what kind of clothes is this, it looks so small." ”

Bai Hua glanced at it, took it and said, "This is what I wore when I went into the water, it's called a swimsuit." ”

"It's so thin, what's the use of topping?" Mu Zhiqiu looked at this swimsuit, which only had one layer of cloth and looked like a small coat, and asked puzzledly.

"Are you going to jump into the water naked?" Bai Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at Mu Zhiqiu: "That's cheap, those animals in the Feng Battalion, they will definitely stare at you." ”

Mu Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth with his hand in surprise, and his eyes widened: "You...... You mean, only...... Wearing only this to the water? ”

"yes." Bai Wei nodded solemnly, not joking at all. She stuffed the swimsuit into Mu Zhiqiu's hand and urged: "Hurry up, it's about to go into the water, I'll tell you how to wear it first." ”

Looking at Bai Hui who had changed into swimsuits, Yan Feiyan and the others were all petrified, their faces were flushed, and they kept shrinking back until their backs were against the bulkhead, and there was no way out. After Bai Hua put on the swimsuit, her arms and legs were almost completely exposed, not to mention, although her body was blocked, but the thin fabric could not cover her delicate figure at all, it could be said that it was no different from being naked, on the contrary, it added a bit of temptation. Beauty is beautiful, but when she thought that the Urging Camp was watching from the sidelines, Yan Feiyan had the heart to die.

No wonder Sun Shao said that he would come to see it next year, it turned out to be like this, this shameless disciple.

"I don't wear it!" Yan Feiyan flatly refused.

"I don't wear it either." Mu Zhiqiu also covered his chest, which had just begun to develop, and shook his head again and again.

"What then?" Bai Wei scratched her head in embarrassment, and she also wrapped a cloth hat like an upside-down kettle on her head, covering her hair tightly: "Then how do you go into the water?" ”

"I ...... I went into the water in my own clothes. Yan Feiyan bit her lip and said stubbornly.

"Nope." Sun Shangxiang appeared at the door of the cabin with a cold face, "When you get to my fifth battalion, you have to follow the rules of my fifth battalion, otherwise you will withdraw now." Sun Shangxiang said as she watched the female guards help each other remove their armor and put on swimsuits: "You are now a soldier, a soldier, everything is for the purpose of preserving yourself and killing the enemy, where is there so much fuss?" ”

Yan Feiyan was dumbfounded, watching the female guards change into swimsuits, get out of the cabin generously, stand on the deck, and then fish into the water. Their expressions were very natural, and they didn't see anything embarrassed.

"If you don't change your clothes before the last person enters the water, don't blame me for throwing you directly into the water." Sun Shangxiang raised her eyebrows unhappily, and walked out of the changing cabin with the knife. Bai Hua looked at Yan Feiyan in embarrassment, and hesitated: "You wait, I'll go and beg the general to see if I can be lenient." ”

"Thank you, sister." Mu Zhiqiu let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled Bai Yu's arm and thanked him. Bai Wei smiled, walked out of the cabin, and walked back after a while, her face was a little ugly, she forced a laugh: "General Kaig, let you think about it for another night, if you are not willing to accept the military order tomorrow, please ask the king to rearrange you." ”

"That'...... Where can you arrange for us to go? Yan Feiyan bit her lip and regretted Mo Die. I only knew that Sun Shangxiang's subordinates were all women, and I thought it would be more convenient, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing, I knew it was so, so it was better to let Lei Zi bring someone here, but now it's too late to talk about this, how can I say it to others when I go back to the village like this? It's okay if you don't go under Sun Shangxiang, but where else can you go? Could it be that by Sun Shao's side, what has become of it?

Yan Feiyan choked back tears, and Sun Shao's lustful appearance seemed to appear in the tears, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and tears fell down. She really wanted to ask Bai Xuan, did Sun Shangxiang also have to dress so revealingly like the female pawns, but she didn't dare, Sun Shangxiang is a general, Sun Shao's aunt, she has this privilege, and what is she Yan Feiyan?

"Owner of the village, I'll take you to the rest cabin first." Bai Yu saw the grievances in Yan Feiyan's heart, sighed silently, and took Yan Feiyan and the others to see where they lived first. She can understand Yan Feiyan's mood, not to mention Yan Feiyan, a big girl with yellow flowers, although she is a village owner, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has not suffered any big hardships, even if she has been an official slave for a few months, she has almost been insulted by those generals several times, and she has seen a lot of embarrassing scenes, and she can't accept it when she sees these female pawns training for the first time.

Yan Feiyan was lying in the cabin, hiding her face and crying, Mu Zhiqiu and the others also recovered from the excitement at the beginning, they looked at Yan Feiyan pitifully, hoping that Yan Feiyan would change her mind and take them back to Baihu Village to change the men. Although many of them were born in Yizhou, they are used to seeing those naked Yi women, although they have not seen what the land of Wuyue is like for a day, but they have always regarded themselves as civilized people, different from those shameless Yi people, and never thought that one day they would be like this.

Yan Feiyan thought about it and didn't even eat dinner. In the middle of the night, she sat in the narrow rest cabin, looking at Mu Zhiqiu, who was already sleepy and asleep next to her, thinking of her dilemma, she couldn't help but cry secretly, she sat like this until dawn, her eyes were swollen like peaches.

Bai Xuan, who had been worried all night, came over to take a look, shook his head again and again, was silent for a long time, and got up and went to the Feilu on the second floor. Sun Shangxiang was practicing martial arts, and when he saw Bai Xuan coming up, he sneered: "What, do you still want to decide?" ”

Bai Wei stood aside awkwardly, arching his hands and not knowing how to explain. Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment, and he was not in the mood to practice martial arts, put away his knife, walked to the cabin, waved his hand and said: "For your sake, I'll give her two more days, if you haven't figured it out, just ask her to take care of herself." ”

"General Xie." Bai Hua was relieved, and hurriedly went down to tell Yan Feiyan. Yan Feiyan listened to it, and was grateful to Bai Xuan, the knots in her heart were relieved, and she said in a muffled voice: "Fang Qing, I have you for my work." ”

"It's out of the way." Bai Yao smiled, paused for a moment, and said: "The owner of the village will come out to take a look when he is free, maybe he will be able to adapt in two days." In fact, although those men are easy to coax, there is nothing malicious about it. They also jumped into the water with only a cownose robe in training, and I didn't get used to it at first, but slowly I got used to it. ”

"How do you ...... That's right. Mu Zhiqiu asked with a wrinkled nose, she didn't sleep well last night, her eyes couldn't open a little, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide and yawn as she spoke.

"We female pawns aren't just there to see." Bai Wei explained softly: "Although we rarely participate in frontal combat, there are some tasks that the male pawns cannot accomplish, and we must take action. His Royal Highness is determined to crisscross the sea, this water surname is naturally the top priority, if you wear too much, you will not be comfortable in the water, so you wear less. ”

"Hmph, I think he has bad intentions." Mu Zhiqiu snorted disdainfully.

"Ah Qiu!" Bai Xuan's face sank, and he glared at Mu Zhiqiu seriously: "I don't care about you when you say these things in front of me, but there are other people here, and you slander the king like this, but you will provoke the anger of the public." Although we work hard, we can be rewarded for meritorious service like men, and we can get what men can get, which king has given us women such an opportunity since ancient times? You don't think too badly of people. ”

Mu Zhiqiu was reprimanded by Bai Yao, and was about to refute, but saw several female guards in the opposite cabin standing up, glaring at her, looking at the posture, if Bai Xuan wasn't here, they might have come over to tear and beat, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and then stood up again and glared back. The female guards snorted, raised their eyebrows, provoked a sneer at the corner of their mouths, and were about to come over with their legs raised, Bai Yu saw that Mu Zhiqiu's face was wrong, he glanced back, and shouted: "Stand down!" ”

The female pawns were stunned for a moment, and retreated stupidly, and one of the leading eyes glanced at Mu Zhiqiu: "Don't be ashamed of your face, be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

Yan Feiyan, who already felt very aggrieved, suddenly became angry, stood up, rushed out of the cabin, pointed at the female pawn and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again! ”
