There was a moment of silence.

Yuan Lai's hair was wet and sticking to his head, his clothes were soaked with water and heavy, and the river water on his forehead flowed along the hair into his eyes, making his vision a little blurred.

It was also a little embarrassing, and just when he didn't know whether to go ashore here or change places, the girl on the shore squatted down, and then stretched out a snow-white arm from the sleeve of the wide Confucian robe.

A small hand reached out in front of him.

Neither of them spoke, and there was Shi Qinglin's fluttering sound and exclamation in the background.

Yuan Lai hesitated for a moment, his first thought was not that men and women would not kiss, but that he was worried that his weight would not drag this girl down the river.

This emotion was evident in his eyes, and the girl saw that the people in the river were looking at her body with suspicion, and immediately understood, but still did not withdraw her hand.

Yuan Lai was helpless, took a breath and lifted his body, stretched out his right hand and grabbed her hand, and climbed up with his strength.

Unexpectedly, the girl's hands were extremely stable, and she didn't move at all despite his weight of nearly 100 catties.

Yuan Lai glanced at her in surprise, and he already knew in his heart that this girl must also be a cultivator.

Ordinary people who don't have vitality in their bodies shouldn't have this kind of power.

On the shore, Yuan Lai was a little embarrassed, of course he couldn't pretend to be romantic, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you." ”

The girl shook her head, her expression was pale, and she didn't speak, but got up and looked up at the river.

Shi Qinglin didn't seem to know how to water, at first he just slapped the water indiscriminately, his arm implied that he had a lot of vitality, and the river water made big waves, spreading into a circle into the distance, while Lao Ding slowly swam over and carefully fished Shi Qinglin onto the boat.

It wasn't until the two people in the river got on the boat that the girl seemed relieved.

Shi Qinglin drank a little too much water, and vomited a big puddle on the boat, but even if he was already choked and dizzy, he was still shouting Yuan Lai's name and continuing to invite to fight, Lao Ding hurriedly patted Gongzi on the back, and he patted Yuan Lai on the shore with a wry smile: "Yuan Gongzi, this is ...... It was a complete surprise......"

Yuan Lai waved his hand and said, "You take care of him first." ”

Lao Ding's face was full of apologies, and he dragged the dazed Shi Qinglin into the cabin.

The girl raised her eyebrows, and suddenly said, "Is it your name that he called?"

"yes. ”

"So your surname is Yuan, right?"

Yuan Lai nodded cautiously, he was really frightened by the sudden explosion of Shi Qinglin.

"There is also a person surnamed Yuan on the Xilin wall. ”

Yuan Lai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "It's me." ”

When the girl heard this, a strange light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to ask something, but when she saw Yuan Lai's body covered in water stains, she frowned and said, "Your clothes are soaked." ”

Yuan Lai really wants to say that you are really asking knowingly, everyone can see that I am soaked, this is obviously a very embarrassing thing, why do you still mention it?

But of course, I can't say this kind of thought in my heart, especially to girls.

"You need to change your clothes, the Qinhuai River is a tributary of a thousand mountains, and the water of a thousand mountains is cold, and the river water here is also cold. ”

Her tone was extremely serious, but the words maintained a light and quiet feeling, and there was no urgency in the slightest.

"I'll go back and change it now, thank you girl for helping......" Yuan said that he was a little speechless here, he was still not used to speaking in this tone after all, and the most important thing was that he didn't know if it was taboo to ask the name of a strange girl in Daqi, whether it was anything to pay attention to, if it was according to the atmosphere of the world he was familiar with, he should simply say that the beauty left a phone call or added a prestige to invite you to dinner or something like that.

Of course, such words cannot be said in this situation.

"Is your home far from here?"

Yuan Lai was stunned for a moment, and intuitively wanted to politely say that it was not far away, but what he said was: "It's a little far." ”

"I'm closer, I'll lend you a set of my brother's clothes. The girl said lightly.

"That's not good......"

"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of family, and it's really close, right there, you see. She reached out and pointed in a certain direction.

Yuan Lai was puzzled by the meaning of her sentence "I have a lot of family", and looked along her arm, where her fingers fell, it was Wuyi Lane.

Yuan Lai was surprised: "You are from the Wang Xie family?"

"My surname is indeed Xie, Xie Caiwei. ”

......

......

Wuyi Lane is nominally an alley, but if it is a small village and town, it is okay, the entire Wang Xie family buildings along the Qinhuai River gathered into a large area, although it looks dense from a distance, but it is close but it does not feel crowded.

A long alley divides the entire complex into two areas, with the Wang family on one side and the Xie family on the other, which is Wuyi Lane.

Along the river, there is a bluestone slab road leading to the mouth of the alley, which is extremely wide, and at the mouth of the whole magnificent alley, a huge stone is cast high, and there is a swallow on the stone.

A very big swallow, and it is also a stone swallow with great charm.

Xie Caiwei led Yuan Lai not to walk on the main road, so he could only pass by the swallow from a distance, but even if it was hundreds of meters away, when Yuan Lai followed Xie Caiwei into a stone road, he still subconsciously felt a cool majesty blowing through his body.

This feeling of déjà vu reminded him of the morning when he stepped into the gate of the capital, and the Vermilion Bird Stone Statue also gave him a feeling of being scanned, but the difference was that the beast at the city gate gave him the feeling of majesty, and this one ...... But it's comfortable.

Comfort, the kind of comfort that the mind seems to become clearer and more active, although this comfort only disappeared in an instant, it still made Yuan Lai's heart amazed.

"That's the Tang Qian Yan of the Wang Xie family, you should have heard of it. Xie Caiwei's voice was very light, gentle as the wind.

Yuan Lai nodded and said, "It's ...... It made me feel very comfortable. ”

"Oh?" Xie Caiwei glanced at him and said seriously and slowly, "That's because you have good intentions towards it." ”

"What if I have ill will towards it?" Yuan Lai heard her voice.

Xie Caiwei didn't answer, she was just walking seriously, and just when Yuan Lai thought she wouldn't answer, she said: "Many years ago, there was a madman in the capital who said that he would carry a knife and slaughter this swallow for wine. ”

"And then?" said Yuan Lai with interest.

And then ...... There is no then. Xie Caiwei smiled faintly, and a meaningful smile appeared on her little face full of bookish atmosphere.

Yuan Lai felt a chill in his heart, not because of this girl's smile, but because he suddenly began to think about a question.

There should always be a reason why the Wang and Xie families can stand for hundreds of years, and all legends in the world should have a reason.

The winding path leads to the secluded place, the bluestone road is getting narrower and thinner, in the early morning, maybe people haven't gone out yet, or maybe the road chosen by Xie Caiwei is more remote, and Yuan Lai's down-and-out appearance on the road is not seen, which makes him very happy.

Finally, Xie Caiwei's footsteps stopped in front of a single courtyard gate, with a pale yellow gate, a large pear tree next to the courtyard wall, and a small building in the courtyard.

Very tasteful little building.

"Squeak. Xie Caiwei gently pushed open the courtyard door, and the dark purple morning glory growing wantonly in the wall could be faintly seen when the courtyard door opened.

(The name Cai Wei comes from the "Book of Songs", the Chinese people have a "male Chu Ci, female Book of Poetry, Wen Analects, Wu Zhouyi" saying, many of the cultural celebrities we are familiar with are named from these four classics, we also vassalize a style and elegance, Cai Wei is taken from "Xiao Ya Cai Wei" , The meaning of the original text is homesickness, you may think that this meaning is really not suitable for Xie Caiwei's identity, but we want to say, since I dare to take this name, there must be a reason, why the Xie family gave Caiwei this name is another story...... ）
