Chapter 23: Perseverance

The snow is falling again, and the blue-gray sky only makes the chill of this winter stronger.

There is no noise of the market, only the cold wind, only the sound of feet stepping on the snow.

The boy held the sword in his hand, the black hilt of the sword, and the pale scabbard hanging from his waist.

The tip of the sword was like a cold light, pointing directly at the two people in front of him. Both of them had their hands tied, and the two walked quietly in front, and the young man held a sword in one hand and a woman in the other, and followed quietly behind.

The silence is terrifying, and the silence can even be heard breathing.

The two men in front of them seem to be leading the boy and the woman to a certain place, what is that place? Maybe that place is full of danger, but the boy will follow him. He had to go because of this place, because Ling Quanfei told him that if he followed, he would be able to find his master.

As soon as he heard the master's name, the young man also forgot everything, forgot the previous deception, and forgot the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes. He only knew that he had to find his master, find his master to be able to learn swordsmanship, and find his master to become a swordsman who made decisions.

The woman tugged at the young man's sleeve tightly and whispered to her, "I can't trust them." ”

The boy did not answer her, but always responded to the woman with a faint smile. For the woman, the young man in front of her is everything to him, his smile is warmer than any comforting word he says, and it gives her a sense of security, as long as she can be with him, even if she is dead, what does it matter?

At this time, Ling Quanfei, who was walking in front, suddenly laughed, and even Wei Sizhang beside him felt strange. Ling Quanfei also smiled strangely, his voice was loud but not free at all.

The boy asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ling Quanfei stopped laughing, laughing suddenly, stopping suddenly, he said: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the two of us have been in this river and lake for decades, and now we have a nameless little doll tied up, it's funny, it's really funny!"

Wei Sizhang had a calm face and no expression, which should be that this is really nothing ridiculous. This kind of rope tied to his wrist can be broken by Wei Sizhang with a little effort, but Ling Quanfei not only refuses to let him, but also does not let him talk more. Thinking of a heroic person like Wei Sizhang, not letting him laugh and talk is simply going to suffocate him to death, but he doesn't know what Ling Quanfei wants to do, and he is also unwilling to be the boss in his heart, but he can only endure it first, after all, this is his brother's request, and he is the first word, how can he refuse?

The young man said coldly: "There is really nothing funny about this. ”

Ling Quanfei said, "Oh?"

The young man said again: "Listen, I'm not a nameless little doll, my name is Qi Ying'er." ”

Ling Quanfei said, "Oh, Qi Ying'er, and who is this beautiful girl next to you?"

When Qi Ying'er heard this, she thought that Ling Quanfei had a bad idea of Sun Qiao'er, the sword in her hand was held tighter, her eyes became more fierce than the blade, and suddenly a hand held her hand, which had been gentle water, gentle like a spring, diluting Qi Ying'er's murderous aura.

Sun Qiao'er said in that yellow warbler-like voice: "My name is Sun Qiao'er, I am, I am ...... with him"

Ling Quanfei continued: "You and he are lovers?"

"Lover", what a beautiful word, what a sweet word, Sun Qiao'er blushed for a while, Qi Ying'er also felt that her ears were slightly hot, and her palms couldn't help sweating.

Ling Quanfei smiled: "You two are actually lovers!"

There are no more words that stimulate people in love.

Qi Ying'er said in a low and angry voice, "What are you laughing at?"

Ling Quanfei said: "I don't know you, but I already know the woman next to you, Sun Qiao'er." ”

Qi Ying'er turned her head to look at Sun Qiao'er, Sun Qiao'er saw doubt in Qi Ying'er's eyes, and suspicion again, her tears seemed to be about to flow out, and said, "You know me, but I don't know you!"

Ling Quanfei said: "Of course you don't know me. ”

Sun Qiao'er said: "Then how do you know me?"

Ling Quanfei smiled again: "Dare to ask how many peerless beauties are there in the world?"

"Wine Lady", Qi Ying'er has heard this title, it was Sun Qu who said it, it was the person who wanted to murder him, but he didn't expect that his mouth was not full of lies.

Ling Quanfei said: "Not only do I know your name, but I also know that the wine lady is a woman with all kinds of amorous feelings, and I can't count the men who have been good with her!"

Ling Quanfei didn't look back, so he couldn't see Qi Ying'er's expression, Qi Ying'er's face was as pale as his sword scabbard, and his hand gradually loosened. Qi Ying'er only felt disgusting, a little disgusting, not the stomach, but the heart.

Sun Qiao'er felt it, and felt Qi Ying'er's disgust for herself. Women have always been sensitive, and women will always magnify their small feelings several times, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Now it must not be a good thing for Sun Qiaoer. Although the rivers and lakes always say that she is a peerless beauty, there is no one in this world who hates this name more. Because of this name, he will be despised by others, and because of this name, the man she loves deeply in front of her will let go of her hand.

Sun Qiaoer's tears finally burst out of her eyes, but she didn't cry, she couldn't cry, she couldn't show weakness when she was insulted by others. She needs to be stronger, because she also has a secret, and no one knows that secret, only herself. And this secret can kill all the rumors about yourself on the rivers and lakes!

However, she can't say, at least not now.

Isn't that the most painful thing? There is a solution to everything, but there is no way to do it. It's like when someone gives you a roast chicken when you're desperately hungry, and then tells you that the roast chicken is poisonous.

Sun Qiaoer said: "Maybe there are many people in the world who know me, but I don't know any of them. ”

There was not much explanation, because all the explanations seemed pale and weak now, just like Qi Ying'er's face.

Qi Ying'er had only been with this woman for a few days, and he loved her and respected her! Because she not only saved his life, but also his heart. The gentleness that this woman gives herself is so familiar, yet so unique.

Qi Ying'er was very conflicted, but he really didn't know where the contradiction in his heart was, and his heart began to slowly crack and peel off. It was that gentle hand again, that gentle hand like a cloud, he turned his head to look at Sun Qiao'er, looked at her tear-stained face, looked at her shining tears, charming eyes, that firm look was telling him to believe her, and Qi Ying'er also understood, he clenched that hand again.

Qi Ying'er said in a low but firm voice: "I don't know 'Jiu Mei Niang', I only know Sun Qiao'er, she is my benefactor and my lover!"

This sentence explained everything, showing that what Ling Quanfei said just now did not change him at all, and it also made the feelings for Sun Qiao'er in Qi Ying'er's heart even firmer.

Ling Quanfei didn't expect Qi Ying'er's heart to be so firm, so he said again: "It's a good friendship, but it's a pity." ”

Qi Ying'er said: "What is a pity?"

Ling Quanfei said, "Let me ask you, how old are you?"

Qi Ying'er said: "Ten ...... Eighteen!"

Ling Quanfei smiled: "Twelve years old?"

Qi Ying'er was silent, because it was useless to say anything now, Ling Quanfei already knew, no matter how he saw it, Ying'er's move was completely useless.

Ling Quanfei said, "Do you know how old Sun Qiao'er is?"

Qi Ying'er didn't speak, he didn't know, maybe he knew, but he couldn't say it, and he wouldn't say it.

Ling Quanfei said: "He can be your mother!"

Qi Ying'er was stunned, "Mother"? He remembered that woman, the woman in the dream, the mother in the dream. He has never seen his mother, and it can be said that Sun Qiaoer is the first woman he came into contact with.

Sun Qiao'er clasped Qi Ying'er's hand and said, "Since you've never seen me, how do you know how old I am?"

Ling Quanfei said, "How do you know that I haven't seen you?"

Sun Qiao'er said: "Can you know how old that person is just by looking at it?"

Ling Quanfei smiled, he naturally didn't have to answer, because he had just said Qi Ying'er's age.

Sun Qiao'er said again: "Then I'll tell you something." ”

Ling Quanfei said, "What's the matter?"

Sun Qiaoer said: "I am not thirty years old, I am not yet twenty years old, and today is my eighteenth birthday." ”

Ling Quanfei stopped, and even Wei Sizhang, who had been silent all the way, stood still and looked at Sun Qiao'er in surprise. But Qi Ying'er was not only not shocked, but showed a smug smile. In just a few days that Qi Ying'er and Sun Qiao'er got along, needless to say, Qi Ying'er already knew Sun Qiao'er's real age, but she only knew her age. And this is not what Sun Qiaoer told him, the ability to guess people's ages, it doesn't seem to be the exclusive ability of one person or two people, but if you get along with Sun Qiaoer for a few days, you must know it.

In the past few days, Sun Qiaoer has been very lively, lively like a girl, her beauty is not at all the coquettishness of an adult woman, her beauty is more innocent, the reason can only be that she is still a girl.

Ling Quanfei smiled again: "I didn't expect it, the peerless beauty on the rivers and lakes is still a doll." ”

Sun Qiao'er also smiled: "There are many things in the world that you can't figure out. ”

Ling Quanfei remained silent and continued to turn around and walk.

Qi Ying'er asked, "We've been walking for half a morning, where do you want to take us?" Do you want to find a barren mountain and a wild mountain to kill us and feed the wild wolves?"

Ling Quanfei smiled: "My hands have been bound by a thick rope now, how can I kill you." ”

Qi Ying'er raised the sword in her hand, pointed at Wei Sizhang, and said coldly, "You are tied up, but what about him?"

Ling Quanfei saw that Wei Sizhang's rope had almost been broken, and only a few strands of twine were connected. Wei Sizhang simply tore off the rope directly and shouted: "I'm about to suffocate me this way, I can't stop talking!"

Qi Ying'er's hand holding the sword was bruised.

Wei Sizhang didn't seem to notice him at all, and said to Ling Quanfei: "I said, brother, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd." Just these two little dolls, let's go, what else can he do to us? Just them, if I exert myself, I can break them with a click!"

Qi Ying'er said angrily: "You bald man! If you talk nonsense, I will kill you with a sword." ”

Wei Sizhang also said angrily: "Grandma, no one dares to call me bald, if it weren't for my brother persuading me not to kill you, you would have reported to Lord Yama a long time ago!

Qi Ying'er didn't know whether she was frightened or angry, her hand was straight, but the hand holding the sword was still very steady.

I saw that Ling Quanfei also opened his hands, opened the hemp rope, and asked with a smile: "Now that both of my hands have been disengaged, you are definitely not the opponent of either of us, why don't you run away?"

Qi Ying'er said: "I can't escape!"

Ling Quanfei said, "Aren't you afraid?"

Qi Ying'er replied very simply, "I'm afraid." ”

Ling Quanfei and Wei Sizhang looked at each other and smiled, Wei Sizhang said, "Are you really stupid?

Qi Ying'er said: "It's because I'm afraid that I can't escape." ”

Ling Quanfei said: "Interesting, why?"

Qi Ying'er said: "If I run away and turn my back on you, won't it be more convenient for you to kill me?"

Ling Quanfei smiled, but Wei Sizhang was unhappy, he said, "What? Do you think we are villains who like to plot against people behind our backs?"

Qi Ying'er doesn't speak, and sometimes, silence also represents this recognition.

Wei Sizhang had a hot temper, feeling that he was the boss alone, but today he was angry with a hairy boy, and said angrily: "You rabbit cub! We are not that kind of villain, even if I kill you, I will let you die clearly!"

Ling Quanfei said: "Since you know that we might kill you, not only did you not run, but also told us that you were actually very afraid, why is this?"

Qi Ying'er said: "I told you to be scared because even if I said I wasn't afraid, you could see that I was lying." ”

Ling Quanfei smiled and said nothing.

Qi Ying'er said: "And I don't run because of another thing!"

Ling Quanfei said, "Oh?"

Qi Ying'er said: "Because you have the whereabouts of my master, for this reason, I can't run." ”

Ling Quanfei said, "Even though you might die because of this?"

Qi Ying'er didn't speak, because he didn't have to speak, his eyes already said everything. In his eyes, it was as if there was a mountain, a mountain that stood firm. Ling Quanfei couldn't help but wonder: "Although this young man is young, he has such perseverance, it is really rare. ”

Wei Sizhang said: "You stinky boy, don't put those empty shelves, I'm afraid that when you really die, you will even be scared out of and urine!"

Qi Ying'er's eyes suddenly turned into a sword, and her gaze stabbed at Wei Sizhang, but Wei Sizhang completely ignored it.

But Ling Quanfei saw it in his eyes, and he had a different kind of affection for this young man, "The future life is terrifying~"

Ling Quanfei said, "If you want to know your master's whereabouts, you have to pay the price." ”

Qi Ying'er said: "What price?"

Ling Quanfei pointed forward and said, "What do you see that is?"

Qi Ying'er slowly passed, looking in the direction Ling Quanfei pointed.

A flagpole, about seven zhang, there is a yellow flag floating on the flagpole, the edge of the flag is red, and there are four black eye-catching big characters on it - Jingyun Villa.
