Miao Miao Po Lake, vast and boundless.

When the morning breeze blows, under the dark blue dome, there are thousands of acres of green lake.

With a small boat and a pot of turbid wine, the three of us floated on Poyang Lake, watching the whitebait in the water swing their tails and the cranes flying. The mood that had been suppressed for days was completely released at this moment.

Relaxed, is it this kind of feeling of freedom under the sky and water?

Li Xiaoqian stretched out his hand to pick up the lake water, leaned in and sniffed it, and then drank it in a big gulp.

"Ah!" he exhaled cheerfully, "it's better to live in the old society! There is no smog and no sewer pipes......

Xiao Yue stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the sparkling lake, but such a beautiful scenery could not sweep away the sorrow on her brow. I walked over and asked her, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yue looked at me, smiled, shook her head slowly, and said, "It's okay." ”

I plucked up my courage and reached out to take her hand. Without the slightest resistance, she took her hand to mine. I said, "Don't you want to go to Crescent Villa?"

Satsuki shook her head and said, "No." Wherever you go, I'll go. It's just ......" a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes.

I asked, "Just what?"

Satsuki's gaze returned to the place where the water and the sky met, and she said, "I just don't know what the result will be this time." ”

"Hey!"

Li Xiaoqian shouted, interrupting the conversation between me and Xiaoyue. He said, "It's dawn, do you two still need me to make a light bulb?"

I was puzzled and asked, "What is a light bulb?"

Li Xiaoqian thought for a while and said, "It's a lantern that doesn't use candles." ”

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Isn't that a lamp that won't turn on?"

I also laughed and said, "It's a dead lamp!"

Li Xiaoqian sighed, raised his hands high, looked up at the sky, his expression was stunned, and shouted: "God! They are so openly spewing dog food, won't you punish them?"

Dog food?

I looked left and right and asked, "Where are the dogs?"

Li Xiaoqian suddenly lowered his head, stared at me deadly, and suddenly shouted: "Wang!"

2.

When the boat touched the shore, Li Xiaoqian was a little drunk and began to babble nonsense.

He put his hands on my shoulders and burped, the smell of sour wine spraying me in the face. He said vaguely: "Dan Bing! Your brother and I have been urinating (sui) all my life! People who have crossed back are all princes, generals, and horses, and Lao Tzu can't even pass the civil service exam when he comes back! The most annoying thing is that people want to go back and wipe their necks and it's over, your brother and I have used a sword to compare several times...... He suddenly sobbed twice, and cried with a whimperwhh......h

He suddenly put his hand into my sleeve, took out the Jiulang sword, stuffed it into my hand, and said, "Dan Bing! You help the eldest brother and slash the elder brother's neck!" As he spoke, he held my hand and put the sword on the table

at your own throat.

"I'm coming!" Satsuki shouted, and then pulled out her sword. Li Xiaoqian's face changed, his body squatted on the ground with a soft body, and he pointed at Xiaoyue and shouted, "Brother and sister, you, calm down...... Don't, don't take it too seriously!"

Xiao Yue's cheeks turned red, and she said angrily: "If you dare to scream again, I will cut your tongue." ”

Li Xiaoqian was in a daze, lying on the wet grass, his body was arranged into a big character, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and he snored for a moment.

Xiaoyue and I glanced at each other, but we were helpless, so we had to sit on the ground and wait quietly for Li Xiaoqian to wake up.

"Is he really here nine hundred years later?" Xiao Yue looked at Li Xiaoqian, a little puzzled.

I nodded and said, "That's what he's always said." Moreover, he speaks and acts differently than we do. ”

Xiao Yue didn't speak, he looked at Li Xiaoqian's face, and seemed to be a little distracted.

"What are you thinking?" I asked softly.

Xiao Yue shook her head slowly and said, "It's nothing." I just don't know if you're right or wrong for being so attentive to him. ”

"We are sworn brothers. I said.

Xiao Yue frowned and said, "I hope, he thinks the same way." ”

I was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Yue suddenly turned her head to look at me and asked, "Why didn't you go to Kucang Mountain first on your trip this time, but you came to the inconsequential Nanhua faction?"

I said, "We are the South China faction when we draw lots." I saw that Xiaoyue was a little worried, so I asked, "Is there any problem?"

Xiao Yue said, "You should go to Kucang Mountain first." Chen Boyang's attitude is very important. ”

Thinking of the seabark knife entwined with gold wire, and the dwarf with misty eyes and always talking in clouds, I was inexplicably stunned.

I said, "I don't like Chen Boyang. ”

Satsuki said: "It has nothing to do with liking it or not. Since you want to be in this world, you can't just do things according to your preferences. ”

I said, "I don't have my own preferences. I made the decision by lot, and that's fair. ”

Xiao Yue suddenly smiled, she took my hand and said softly, "I don't just mean this thing, it's everything. She paused and asked me again, "Then who do you like more in this river and lake?"

I thought about it, went through the various sects in my mind, and said, "It's easy to be careful." ”

Xiao Yue was stunned, it seemed a little incredible, and asked, "Why him, is it because of Bai Senpai?"

I'm not sure. Maybe it's because of Bai Jingxing that I have an inexplicable good impression of Qingyun and Yi Jingyi. I said, "Probably." ”

Xiao Yue said: "Actually, you really shouldn't set foot in this world. It's good to spend your life simply and not worry about those distractions. ”

I said, "However, I am already the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." ”

"yes. Xiao Yue was stunned and said, "So, you should think about it more carefully."

Everyone's mind. My master once said that the rivers and lakes are the hearts of the people. ”

Lu Shi!

Satsuki's words instantly scooped up the name in the depths of my heart. Along with the name, there is a mystery that has been haunting my heart for a long time.

Although everyone didn't want me to pursue this matter, I couldn't help it. I said to Satsuki, "I want to ...... Ask you one thing. ”

Xiao Yue said, "What's the matter?"

I said, "Does your master know a person named Ma Xiaoliu?"

"Ma Xiaoliu?" Xiao Yue was a little puzzled, she said, "I've never heard of it." Who is he?"

I said, "He's the former leader of the beggar gang." After hesitating for a moment, I still added: "He is a spy sent by the Jin people." ”

"Jin Ren?!" Xiao Yue frowned and asked, "My master hates Jin people the most in his life." How could he know such a person?"

I said, "I once found a letter in the room of the beggar gang Ma Xiaoliu. There were four words on the letter, and I think it should have been written by your master. ”

"What words?" asked Satsuki.

I said, "Enshin is dead." ”

Xiao Yue's face changed suddenly, and she suddenly stood up and shouted, "Are you telling the truth?"

I didn't understand why Satsuki had such a big reaction, so she also stood up, nodded, and said, "It's true." ”

"How could it be...... It turned out ......"

Xiao Yue's face was pale, her shoulders trembled a little, and her eyes were panicked, even frightened.

I said, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yue suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "You promise me that this matter will not be mentioned to anyone again." ”

"Why?" I wondered.

Xiao Yue hurriedly said, "Don't ask." You promise me!"

Looking at Xiao Yue's anxious appearance, even if I had all the doubts in my heart, I could only say, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Xiao Yue bit her lip lightly, muttered for a long time, and said, "Fool." I can't accompany you to Crescent Villa. ”

Is she leaving?

My heart was empty and I cried out, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Yue said, "I'm going to find my master." I'm worried he's going to have an accident. ”

"What will happen to him?" I asked.

Satsuki said, "I...... I'm not sure yet. But I have to go back and make sure of something, and I'll tell you about it later, but for now, I have to go. ”

She let go of my hand. I could see the reluctance in her eyes as much as I did, but she was so determined, so determined that I couldn't keep her.

I had no choice but to nod. Xiao Yue said: "Murong Shun of Crescent Moon Mountain Villa is not a bad person. He is different from He Baiqi, although he loves to complain, he is quite upright. When you see Murong Shun, you can only explain your intentions to him, but you can't force him. I believe that even if he will not fully support you, he will never stand on the side of the world and oppose you. ”

"I see. I said.

Xiao Yue's eyes flickered, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Fool, you have to take care." ”

I will, and you have to take care of yourself. I thought to myself, but such a goodbye made me feel so sour that I couldn't say anything.

Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, and suddenly whispered in my ear: "You have to think more about everything, don't blindly believe Li Xiaoqian." ”

3.

Why can't you trust Li Xiaoqian?

Before I could ask this sentence, Satsuki had already left.

Looking at her departing back, I began to regret it a little. If I told Satsuki about this, I'm afraid she wouldn't leave so suddenly at this moment.

And Xiao Yue left after all, leaving so suddenly, so inexplicably. Her inexplicable departure made the mystery even more confusing in my heart.

What is the answer to this mystery?

"Oops, hey!"

It seemed like a long time before the sun had leapt out of the water and into the air. Li Xiaoqian stretched his waist and got up from the wet grass, his sleepy eyes swept everything around him, and asked, "Where is your daughter-in-law?"

"Gone. I replied indifferently, unable to lift up a single ounce of energy.

"Gone?" Li Xiaoqian was puzzled, looked around again, and asked, "Where did you go?"

I said, "I'm going to find his master." ”

Li Xiaoqian let out an "oh", suddenly his face sank, and asked, "Did you say anything to her?"

I said, "I just wanted to ask about the ...... of that letter."

Li Xiaoqian punched me hard in the shoulder and shouted, "Are you stupid? Do you know that you will ruin Lu Shi's reputation by doing this! At that time, how will you get along with Xiaoyue? How will we get along with Lu You?"

I grabbed Li Xiaoqian's arm and asked, "Do you know anything? You knew it from the beginning, right?"

Li Xiaoqian shook off my arm and said, "Even if I know, I won't tell you!" With that, he took a big stride and turned to leave.

I asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Xiaoqian didn't look back, and shouted loudly: "Crescent Moon Villa!"
