Chunniang said without hesitation, "She is a perfect person, so perfect that people can't even be jealous." Her whole life has brought hope to people, although she stands on the top of the mountain that everyone looks up to, she is willing to bend down and stand side by side with others, and she gives everyone respect. Do you know why I want to be a lowly bustard in the eyes of outsiders? Although I didn't have no choice at the time. ”

Fu Yingran listened quietly and shook her head cooperatively.

If there was no other choice, that woman was willing to contaminate the undesirable industry of Qinglou.

Chun Niang smiled brighter and brighter, "Because she said that every girl is born a flower, whether it is a peony, magnolia, or an unknown wildflower on the side of the road, they all have a unique fragrance and beauty, have the value of their existence, belong to their own world, and it is a pity to lack any one." There is no flower that should not exist. ”

"I used to be a girl in the building, I picked up customers at the age of fifteen, and at the age of nineteen I contracted a dirty disease, like a pig and a dog discarded, and left to fend for myself. I wanted to die, but my mother wouldn't let me die, forcing me to accept those poor smokers and squeeze out the last bit of my value. At that time, I was in pain, every day was tormenting, and I just wanted to die early and be relieved, until I received a letter unexpectedly. ”

"Letter?"

Chun Niang fell into the memory, and the whole person changed from Fang Cai's pain to soft and warm, and she said with a smile in her eyes, "Yes, a nameless letter." It is a lonely and painful person who vents his emotions through words, and then flows his trust into the river on barley, or is picked up by someone who is destined, or is submerged by the river. ”

"And then you found the letter, and it was written by the Holy Lord?"

Chunniang nodded, "When I was young, I read a few days of books and knew a few words, and I happened to meet a person who was sympathetic, so I also wrote about my suffering and went away with the barley. I didn't hope that my letter would be seen, but I also wanted to vent my emotions in this way, but I didn't expect to receive a reply the next day, and the person who replied was the owner of the anonymous letter yesterday. ”

Fu Yiran could already roughly guess what was going on, and two people who were going through pain exchanged letters in this simple and secret way, comforting each other, relying on each other, and becoming each other's strength and support.

"That barley is really magical, it can guarantee that no letter will be delivered to the other party."

Chun Niang raised her eyebrows mysteriously, and whispered in her ear as if she couldn't tell a secret, even if the two of them were floating on the river at this time, and there was no one around.

"It was only then that I realized that the barley in this river has a characteristic that it flows day and night. During the day, it drifts eastward, and at night it turns back to the west, all on the same route. ”

"So, you and the Holy Lord are right at opposite ends of the barley flow?"

Chun Niang's face was full of excitement, and she blushed like a young girl and said, "That's why I said that my acquaintance with the Holy Lord is a gift from God. At that time, the Holy Lord was healing on the island, and it was far and close to the green building where I lived, and I could see the island when I stood on the railing of the green building, but I couldn't set a single step. ”

Fu Yingran's curiosity was aroused again, "What island, where is it?" ”

Chun Niang looked at the vast river, and looked along her line of sight, and there was indeed a hazy outline of an island in the distance as far as her eyes could see.

"Where did my mother live?"

The island was right at the end of the long canyon, and the two of them were floating forward in a small awning boat, feeling out of reach.

"I tried my best to meet her on the island countless times, but I couldn't do it until she came ashore and was surrounded by groups of Praetorian Ministers, and I met her from a distance. Even though we've never seen each other, we recognize each other instantly. That was the only time I had ever seen the Holy Lord, and I was also a subordinate of the faction when I sent Ah Wei to collect the flowers. ”

"Ah Wei?"

Was he sent by the Holy Lord to Chunniang?

Chun Niang explained, "Ah Wei was rescued by the Holy Lord when he was eight years old, sent to me, and entrusted me to take good care of him. It's been sixteen or seventeen years. ”

Fu Yiran hesitated for a moment but asked the curiosity in her heart, "Ah Wei feels quite magical, and never mentions his past. And he often pretends to be a man and a woman, both men and women are very suitable, and it makes people unclear whether he is a man or a woman. ”

Chunniang could see that Fu Yiran and Ah Wei got along well, and Ah Wei also liked Fu Yingran, so she didn't hide it.

"Ah Wei is actually both a man and a woman."

This answer was quite vague, and Fu Yingran did not understand the meaning for a while, and the room pondered.

is both a man and a woman, and he does not disobey at all whether he pretends to be a man or a woman, just like he is born male and female, and he can't distinguish between genders......

Suddenly, Fu Yingran thought of something, her mouth grew slightly, and her eyes were about to fall out of her sockets.

Fortunately, Ah Wei is not here this time, otherwise I am afraid I will be sad to see her expression.

Could it be that Awei ...... It's a yin-yang person.

Fu Yiran had only seen it in an old folk anecdote, saying that there was a man in the village in the past, who was feminine and feminine, and who could not raise his hands and shoulders, and that the people in the village disliked him as useless, and that no big girl was willing to marry him. Later, the widow of the village thought that he was good-looking, so she married him, and on the wedding night she ran out of the new house in a panic, shouting everywhere that the man was a monster, and that he had not only the organs of a man but also those of a woman. Everyone said that he was a yin and yang person.

Fu Yingran thought it was just made up, but she didn't expect to really meet such a person, but Ah Wei didn't have anything peculiar except for the delicate skin that made it impossible to distinguish between men and women.

"Ah Wei was born strange, and his family was poor, and he was sold by his parents as a strange thing to rich old men when he was very young, and the Holy Lord bought him after he met him by chance,"

I see, no wonder Fu Yingran felt that Ah Wei was very enthusiastic about her, and it turned out to be because of the Holy Lord.

"Ah Wei is a very good child, although sometimes I feel that he is unreliable, but in fact, he has a smart brain and a clever person, and he has helped me a lot over the years, and he has also paid a lot for the temple."

Chun Niang seems to be afraid that Fu Yingran will dislike Ah Wei for being a yin and yang person, and can't wait to say good things for Ah Wei.

Fu Yingran grinned, Ah Wei is the person saved by the Holy Lord, what qualifications does she have to dislike it. On the contrary, because she is the daughter of the Holy Lord, she has been loved by too many people, and she is ashamed.

"Do you know why I built Lanfang in this canyon."

Chun Niang changed the topic and asked, Fu Yiran said without thinking, "Because this is the road that carries the memories between you and the Holy Lord, and the barley carries your letters back and forth day and night, and you cherish that memory very much." ”

Chun Niang was slightly surprised, and then laughed very happily, she was all right.

"Another reason is that I want to be able to look at the island all the time, as if it were someday...... The Lord will return. I'm going to guard the island. ”

"Can I go and see it? Is there anyone on that island now? ”

Seeing that she was in high spirits, Chunniang patted her skirt and stood up, grabbed the bamboo pole that held the boat and began to slide towards the island.

"The island is empty, but the place where the Holy Lord lived is still there, and I occasionally go to clean it. She must be glad you can go. ”

Fu Yingran sat on the deck and looked forward to it, the more she learned about it, the more she discovered the colorful richness of the Holy Lord's life, and she suddenly thought that if Hongdara knew, she would definitely be interested in going together, but not now.

The island looks quite small from a distance, but when you get closer, you realize that it is really a bit big, and the vegetation on the island is dense, and it is planted with all kinds of flowers and fruit trees, which are obviously carefully designed.

Birds are singing in the branches, and hares and pheasants can often be seen among the vegetation, and a row of thriving scenes.

The residence of the Holy Lord is close to the bank of the river, and the construction is very simple and elegant, more like a paradise than the courtyard in the deep mountains of Zeping Village, low-key but exquisite and luxurious, which makes people want to live among the flowers forever.

Outside the house, a small platform like a ferry was built near the river, where tea cases and concubines were placed, and the river gently washed the wooden stakes supporting the platform, and piles of barley surrounded the wooden stakes.

Chun Niang sat on the edge with her legs down, bent over and scooped up a ball of barley, wet and slippery, green and beautiful.

"We rolled up the letter and put it in a small copper shaft, wrapped it in a layer of oiled paper, tied it to the barley and let it flow with the waves. At that time, what I looked forward to most every day was to wait for her letter every day, her letter made me forget my pain and helplessness, and gave me hope. , let me know that I am not alone, and there are people who silently care about me. ”

Fu Yingran didn't know what kind of emotion it was, but she knew that it must be unforgettable.

The compliments and congratulations of Dengke and the first time are never as sincere and eternal as the companionship and comfort when the road ahead is confused.

"Chunniang, what happened to my mother to come here to heal?"

The decoration in the inner room is all made inside, all luxurious and exquisite, not quite like the character of the Holy Lord, but like someone else's arrangement, she has no choice but to live here.

Chunniang didn't know much, and said vaguely, "I just heard that there was a conflict between the Holy Lord and the Emperor at that time, and the Holy Lord didn't want to live in the palace, so he wanted to come out to relax, so the emperor arranged this island." ”

"So, she was detained by the emperor?"

Fu Yiran became more and more curious about the emperor at this time, and from other people's words and attitudes, he could hear that it was a shrewd, unspeakable, and accustomed emperor who controlled everything.

Because the emperor had a disagreement with the Holy Lord and no longer completely obeyed him, he later ordered that the people of Tianyang Kingdom should not believe in the Holy Lord, and those who believed in the Holy Lord were not allowed to enter the court as officials.

It was he who lifted the Holy Lord to the throne of God at the beginning, and it was he who threw the Holy Lord into the dust and slapped himself in the face.

"I don't know the specifics, but in short, the Holy Lord married Dazai shortly after leaving the island, and died less than a year later."

It turned out that the Holy Lord had not been married to Dazai for a long time, and the fate of the two husband and wife was only a year.

No, the Holy Lord at that time should have made the emperor jealous, how could the emperor allow her to marry the high-ranking Dazai and expand the power of the Holy Lord?

can think about it from another angle, maybe the emperor wants the holy lord to divert his attention to the family back house after marrying, husband and children, so that the emperor can take over the influence of the temple.

The Holy Lord is a national teacher and a holy lord admired by all the people, and it is not suitable to marry an ordinary man, but it is very suitable to marry Dazai, who is above ten thousand people under one person.

It's just that judging from the fact that the Holy Lord died less than a year after marrying, it should be that she failed to settle down in the back house, so the emperor did not tolerate it, so that she took her life.

Fu Yiran guessed wildly, and suddenly his whole brain was empty, and the whole person froze in place.

She didn't know anything about the death of the Holy Lord, and she didn't know anything about the emperor before, but in her conjecture, she defined the emperor as the real murderer of the Holy Lord, even if there was no evidence.

Her idea was too inexplicable and self-righteous.

Is this her preconceived whim, or is there a heart-to-heart between mother and daughter?

……

When Fu Yingran and Chunniang rowed back to Lanfang, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and the whole Lanfang was full of passengers.

Chun Niang still had to discuss things with Jingshui and left first, Fu Yingran wanted to talk to Ah Wei, so she went to the glass room alone.

Now the whole Lanfang is all Ah Wei still cares about her, Ah Wei lives on the mountain behind the glazed room, and every time she goes to find Ah Wei, she has to be visited by the girls in the glazed room like monkeys.

However, the girls in the glass room were busy picking up customers, and no one noticed her.

In order to facilitate the guests to play in the houses of the girls on the back mountain, the road in the back mountain is specially repaired, very flat, and the lanterns are hung on both sides to illuminate the road, and the light is very good.

But Fu Yiran is still used to carrying a lamp, and her heart is more stable.

She walked through the courtyards everywhere, listening to the sounds/plays/obscene/filthy sounds coming from the courtyard, and her heart sank a little bit.

She couldn't help but speed up her steps, and she came across a girl who was doing unspeakable things with a guest outside the house, two frankly seeing each other's bodies intertwined, and the sound of unrestrained/waved, ambiguous/ambiguous breathing made people blush.

Fu Yingran didn't dare to look at it, and was about to walk over with her eyelids, but people in the distance found her and called her up.

"Fu Yiran, I ran to the glass room in the middle of the night, do you also want to pick up customers?"

Xu was seen as ashamed, and the woman had a revengeful mentality, deliberately disgusting with foul language.

Fu Yingran only felt that her whole body was tense, and the tips of her fingers trembled a little.

She knew that she stopped at this time to reason with the woman, and it would only be herself who would be embarrassed, so she paused and trotted away from the courtyard.

And the two people in the courtyard continued.

The man gasped and said, "That little lady is new to the glass room?" It looks average, and it doesn't have a taste like you. ”

The woman snorted, "Don't think about it, people are clean girls, where are they so shameless like me." People are the treasures of pure mothers. ”

"Although it looks like a clear soup with little water, the more pure it is, the more it sells/souls, I really want to taste it."

The woman's expression immediately became serious, "Don't beat her idea, all the girls we have have rules, what you can't touch is what you can't touch, don't even think about it." ”

The man was embarrassed, and immediately scolded, "Stinky girl, Lao Tzu will talk about it, you still dare to show Lao Tzu's face." Be attentive. ”

As he spoke, he slapped her ass with a crisp sound.

The woman hung her head in shame and bit her lip to the ground.

Fu Yingran closed Ah Wei's door from behind, leaned against the door panel and gasped twice.
