Outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, he left people and returned home.

Twenty years have passed in an instant, and the ancient tree is still evergreen.

The saplings planted by the people themselves back then have also reached the sky next to the ancient trees, but many of those who planted the trees will never see this scene again.

The past and the present are not people, and when they return home, they don't see their families.

Huai Caoshi's eyes are full of wind and frost, and he can't tell how much sadness he has in his confused thoughts, and his empty heart is faintly painful, and he always feels that he was still a girl earlier, around the bonfire in the valley, all of them are young, and they often get together, and they are drunk and fall into the arms of their masters.

"Senior sister. ”

The crisp voice came into his ears, and Huai Caoshi restrained his confused emotions.

Her eyes looked for the voice, and the little sister's appearance was still so beautiful, it was difficult to describe it with pen and ink.

"Little junior sister. ”

Huai Fenghua was dressed in white, listening to the clear voice of the "little junior sister", and she also had mixed feelings for a while.

She smiled and said, "Senior Sister has returned home, why is she only lingering at the door, if it wasn't for the deacon of the outer gate to inform me, wouldn't Senior Sister come in?"

Huai Caoshi's voice was much less clear, and he said as gently as before: "Now that my sister is the lord of the valley, my sister doesn't know the rules and doesn't dare to enter." ”

Huai Fenghua invited: "No matter how many years the senior sister has been gone, the rules of Wanhua Valley are still the same set left by the master, and the senior sister has been sleeping all the way, come in." ”

Huai Caoshi gestured with her eyes how to arrange Bai Jianwen beside her, Huai Fenghua smiled, for some reason a little pain flashed in her eyes, "I know that you are a royal family, but the identity of the royal family is useless to me, I will ask the deacon of the outer door to arrange a place to live for you, you have any objections." ”

Bai Jianwen was actually shocked by Huai Fenghua's outstanding and arrogant temperament, and after hearing this, he hurriedly bent down and saluted: "I will listen to Uncle Shi's arrangement." ”

In fact, Bai Jianwen has no talent for martial arts, and he is not a disciple of Huai Cao Shi, but on the way to Wanhua Valley, Huai Cao Shi explained what identity he should be, and he must not be proud of the useless identity of the former royal family, otherwise, no matter how big the outer area of Wanhua Valley is, there will be no place for Bai Jianwen.

Wanhua Valley is actually a natural extinct volcanic crater, which has been polished for many years before it has become such a place of flowers and plants.

Huai Cao Shi and Huai Fenghua walked all the way, and both sides were silent.

It wasn't until they came to a place with the quietest environment and the strongest aura that the two stopped.

Huai Fenghua raised her chin lightly and said, "Senior sister, I know you have a lot of things to say to your master and sister, I'll come back to you later." ”

Two lines of tears fell, and Huai Caoshi said apologetically: "Senior sister has worked hard, it is the senior sister who is not filial, and she has only come back to worship for so many years." ”

......

At night, Stone Town Station.

At the dining table in the private room, there were several people present.

Mu Qing withdrew his right hand, looked at Lu Fanrou and shook his head and said, "All the way today, your wound was cracked open due to the bumps, so I don't recommend that you leave alone tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Fan said hurriedly: "No! I want to go back to find my companions, I can't leave them behind." ”

Liu Weirui picked a chicken leg for Lu Fanrou, "Sister, don't be reckless, it's not far from the Iron Bone Village now, you have injuries on your body, how can we let you go alone, and it seems that you will go back there to find someone, isn't this asking for your own death?"

Xiaochan also said anxiously: "Sister, didn't Mu Qing Gongzi say that the two you had been worried about before have run away safely? ”

The three women who were also hurt by the Iron Bone Village, in just a few days, comforted each other, because they hated the same enemy, so it can be regarded as the emotion of meeting and hating each other at first sight.

Mu Qing nodded, "Miss Fan Rou, your injury is a penetrating injury, there are several tendons and veins in the front and back that are seriously injured, and you are still unable to breathe, I also suggest that you follow us for a few more days." ”

Lu Fanrou was straightforward and frank by nature, and said embarrassedly: "But I heard Brother Mu Qing say that they were seriously injured, specially... Especially Brother Xu's situation is not optimistic. ”

"Oh-"

Liu Weirui and Xiaochan looked at each other and smiled, and they both made meaningful sounds.

This morning, the three sisters were talking in the carriage, and Liu Weirui thought that Lu Fanrou was interested in Mu Qing, but she didn't expect that she had already hidden someone in her heart.

As a bystander, Liu Weirui showed the wisdom she had accumulated in the past two years, and persuaded her: "Sister, if you want to go to them, you must want to help them instead of becoming a burden, so you should take care of your injuries and then go to them, otherwise you will harm them." ”

Mu Qing nodded and smiled: "That's the reason." ”

He looked at Lu Fanrou and said softly: "After getting along in the past few days, I guess Miss Fan Rou already knows what the character of the people below is, because I have been dealing with the group of people in the Iron Bone Village a few days ago, so I have a question here that I haven't found time to ask you, I don't know if Miss Fan Rou is willing to answer it." ”

Lu Fanrou put down her chopsticks and said cautiously: "Childe saved my life, it stands to reason that I should have all the questions answered, but if it involves other people's privacy, then I can't answer all the questions if Childe forgives me." ”

Mu Qingxing's eyes flashed with surprise, and after hearing this promise, he said in a solemn tone: "Miss, don't worry, I only have one problem here." I just want to ask where the female teacher named Bai Jiahe came from, you said before?"

Lu Fanrou patted her chest lightly, she could still answer this question, so she said with a smile: "Sister Jiahe and Brother Xu are from the same family, and their master is a very beautiful woman. ”

"Oh?"

Mu Qing's eyes flashed with doubt, Peony and their sect only accept women and not men, even if they wanted to change their doors a few years ago, they only gave themselves the identity of an outer disciple, could they have guessed wrong?

Lu Fanrou's words were not finished yet: "I really don't know what the specific name of their division is, but I heard Sister Jiahe say that the place where their division is located has a particularly nice name, called Wanhu Valley." ”

"Yes, that's the same door as peony. ”

Mu Qing was a little happy in his heart, he would not use the reasons that he had used several times before when he went back and entered the inner gate area of Wanhua Valley this time.

It's just that he is also a little confused and uncomfortable, why did Wanhua Valley also accept male disciples from the inner door, could it be that he was not good enough?

Mu Qing muttered in his heart for a moment, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on his face, he said with a smile: "I am very familiar with this place in Wanhua Valley, and my sister is inside, so I and you Brother Xu are also half of the same family." ”

"Ahh

Mu Qing said a little embarrassedly: "When I was in the dense forest, I noticed that Bai Jiahe's body style was similar to my sister's body style, so I had the help later, otherwise I would probably choose to watch from the sidelines." ”

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he set his eyes on Lu Fanrou, Lu Fanrou's face was not dissatisfied, but explained for Mu Qing: "This is nature, walking in the rivers and lakes, if the road encounters two parties fighting, do not make a move, do not favoritism, Mingzhe to protect himself is the right reason." ”

Liu Weirui's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Lu Fanrou and said, "Sister, how many years have you been wandering the rivers and lakes? ”

Lu Fanrou smiled and sighed: "There are more bad places in the rivers and lakes, often full of a meal and a hungry meal, sleeping in the open is a common thing, and sometimes it will suffer from unjustified disasters, people say, 'Taiping enters the temple, and the troubled times enter the rivers and lakes', the rivers and lakes in this troubled world are like plains without checkpoints, people with enough strength can straddle the horse with a slash sword and wanton crisscross, if the strength is not enough, it will be miserable, the rules will make it difficult for you to move an inch, it is a place where there are rules but there are rules that can be changed or even created, the weak will always survive, and the strong will inevitably be lost. ”

"Hiss-" The wine in the cup was drunk in one gulp, Lu Fanrou's cheeks flushed slightly, and she recalled: "But there are also many good places in the rivers and lakes, and it is the most sincere feelings of the children of the rivers and lakes to meet and hate to meet each other, and it is also a beautiful thing for those lonely mountains and wild paths and old people to meet in the forests of Daozuo." On the rivers and lakes, in addition to the charming swords and swords, it is this cup of wine. ”

Liu Weirui filled Lu Fanrou's cup of wine, and asked with a smile: "What about the first meeting of the swordsman and heroine?"

In the days after Mu Qing revealed her true face, whenever she looked at the other party's face, she always faintly felt as if she had seen the other party somewhere, until Lu Fanrou asked about Mu Qing's origin this morning, she suddenly remembered that it turned out that at the end of Qingyun Street, in front of the Liuye Bookstore, it was her first meeting with him.

Thinking about it now, Liu Weirui's heart was slightly shy, and he kept bowing his head when he had something in his heart at that time, and I don't know what impression he left behind......

Lu Fanrou looked at people drunk, but she saw it most clearly, she saw Lu Weirui inadvertently glance at Mu Qing's face when she poured wine for herself, and knew the true meaning.

I saw her smile lightly: "What does my sister say in the story? Is it a swordsman who meets a chivalrous woman in the forest or a swordsman who saves his girlfriend?"

Xiaochan looked at her young lady and lowered her head shyly, and she was secretly happy when she thought about it slightly, and when she saw it, she didn't know that the so-called "swordsman" was clinking glasses with her younger brother.

She said to Li Si with a hint of disgust, "Is your injury healed?

Li Si wanted to retort: "Didn't you see that Sister Fan Rou was also drinking?"

But since he was a child, his fear of his sister still made him put down his wine glass.

Mu Qing looked at this scene and smiled slightly, filled everyone's cups with wine in turn, raised his glass and invited him to drink: "Whether the rivers and lakes are good or not, it depends on whether this wine is beautiful or not, if the beauty can be reflected in the wine, it is extremely beautiful, let's have a drink together." ”

He was afraid that Xiaochan would be embarrassed, so he smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

Xiaochan, like her young lady, bowed her head and blushed all over her cheeks.

In the twilight of spring, several people in the post station talked about the rivers and lakes under the reflection of the candles, and Ning Chu outside the post station quietly walked into the post station under the urging of the night.

Sure enough, this river and lake is a meeting.
