On the fifth watch, the pheasant gradually crowed.

Zhou Yi woke up in a trance and saw that the wind outside the window was faint, the mist was slight, and there was a late autumn color.

The heavy rain fell all night, and now there is no sign of stopping, and Yu Xi must not have returned all night. At this time, I don't know what his mother was like in a hurry to find him.

At this point, he can't wait any longer, but if he doesn't see Yu Xi this time, he is really unwilling. So, he borrowed a pen and paper from Qiushui and wrote a poem casually, titled "Butterfly Loves Flowers, Autumn Thoughts"

Last night the west wind passed through the householders,

Cinnamon falls,

There is no intention to keep it.

The dark incense of the path has returned to the earth,

The remnants of the charge are a little crying frost.

Tears sprinkled with empty branches and autumn hearts,

Hand hoe,

Where do you return?

Yaoqin's quiet day is twilight,

This situation depends on who sues!

Zhou Yi thanked Qiushui for saying goodbye, and asked her to tell Yu Xi a sentence, "Come to Japan, please tell Miss Yu that I will meet her one day." ”

Qiushui also sighed for the two of them, and the two said goodbye.

==***==

Zhou Yi left Ruixiangyuan and hurriedly ran back, after the heavy rain that night, the mountain road was broken and rocky, and it was very difficult to walk, and he was not familiar with the roads there, so he did not return to his mother's residence until noon.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother's face angry.

"Where the hell have you gone crazy!" Yu Fu blushed, without a trace of anger, "I didn't return overnight, and I said that you went to your master's place, and now you don't even tell me the truth!"

Zhou Yi lowered his head and knelt directly in front of his mother to apologize.

"Mother, Yi'er shouldn't lie," his lost expression revealed a bit of frustration, "Please mother, don't be angry......"

Yufu knew his temperament, and in the face of such a reprimand from himself, he should have persuaded him with a happy face, and then said a few soft words coquettishly when necessary, but it can be seen that he is not like this at the moment, which makes her quite surprised. But this matter is by no means a few soft words that can make her relieved, you must know that her mustard for Wuxiang Mountain comes from the bottom of her heart.

"Get up, I'm going to hear the truth, where have you been!"

Zhou Yi saw that her anger was unabated, and she was really bored in her heart, so she said bluntly: "I'm going to visit Miss Yu." ”

"Nonsense!" Yu Fu came angrily and pointed at Zhou Yi, "Yu Xi came yesterday, and I didn't see you come back all night, and I just left just now, why did you go to visit her!

When Zhou Yi heard this, he was dumbfounded, this is really a trick! He wanted to see the demeanor of this young lady who had admired his name for a long time, but he first waited for two days and didn't say anything, and when he really had the opportunity to meet, he passed by by by mistake, which is really heart-wrenching.

Zhou Yi didn't say a word, got up and ran out again, and as soon as he went out, he crashed into his father's arms.

"What's so flustered?" Zhou asked him.

When Zhou Yi saw his father come back, he thought to himself that this was over, and it was impossible to see Yu Xi again now. In a hurry, he said, "My mother asked me to go to see Master Tai, and told him to wear more clothes when he went out because of the heavy humidity in the mountains." ”

The reason why Zhou Yu came back was precisely because Yufu had sent someone to find Zhou Yi just now, and now that Zhou Yi said this, of course he didn't believe it. Both father and son looked at Yufu, which made her very worried, Yufu was helpless, so she followed Zhou Yi's words and said: "It's all your greed and trouble, if you don't run out a few times in the morning, you should come back now when you go to your master's place, and let me hurry to make people look for you, in the future, you don't want to come out again!"

Zhou Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and respectfully smiled at his mother: "What my mother taught me is that I should have thought of these things a long time ago, and in the future, Yi'er will not dare." ”

Zhou Ying entered the house and said to Zhou Yi: "This is not your own home, everything must be measured." Later, the Yu family will have a banquet for your master, and you must follow your mother. ”

"And after that?" Zhou Yi hurriedly asked.

"After the feast, we will go back to Baihe Mountain. ”

"Don't you want to stay one day longer?"

"I can't live anymore," Zhou Ying put his hands behind his back and frowned, "We left Baihe Mountain one foot ago, and your fourth uncle sent someone to follow, saying that your third uncle has not returned yet, Yun'er is seriously ill again, and your master is worried about her, so she has resigned to Yu Guangling, and she has to go back today." ”

"Why are you seriously ill again?" asked Yufu with a panicked expression.

"I was frightened last time, and Zhou Yuexin couldn't say it clearly, so Master was very worried. ”

Yufu sighed, "Knowing that Yun'er is unwell, he still doesn't return all day!"

==***==

Speaking of this Yun'er, Zhou Yi felt an indescribable boredom in his heart, which was both cordial and depressing.

Yun'er is the daughter of his third uncle Yue Zhong, who is three months younger than him. The brothers and sisters were originally very harmonious with each other, but if you want to say why Zhou Yi is upset when she mentions Yun'er, you have to start with the Qiqi Rebellion fifteen years ago.

At the beginning, when there was a strange rebellion, the people in the rivers and lakes were all enthusiastic and rushed to arrest it. However, a sudden edict from the imperial court made the entire rivers and lakes a dilemma.

The edict said that the rebellion of Qiqi began in the rivers and lakes and should end in the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes fought for many years, all because of the dragons without a leader. Therefore, the imperial court proposed that those who can capture the poor and strange this time can be the respect of the rivers and lakes.

In this way, those chivalrous men who are dedicated to eliminating harm for the people have also stopped to protect their reputation.

Later, Yu Guangling and Zhou Tianyong discussed, sent letters to heroes from all walks of life, and invited the heroes to go together to capture Qiqi. In this way, it is not the work of one person to eliminate the harm, and the court will reward it at that time, and there is no way to start.

At that time, the lord of Baihe Mountain was only Tian Yong, and Zhou Shiya was just an idle savage who traveled all over the world.

Tian Yong loves his talents, and the two of them are their own family, so they invited Zhou Shiya to go up the mountain on the pretext of capturing Qiqi, and called him 'brother' according to his age.

Shiya was flattered and repeatedly excused himself. Tian Yong said in public, "If my brother doesn't go to Baihe Mountain, Tian Yong will definitely follow the rivers and lakes!"

Since then, Zhou Shiya has taken his eldest disciple Zhang Yufu and second disciple Yue Zhong to settle in Baihe Mountain. Zhou Shiya made miraculous contributions in quelling the Qiqi Rebellion, and the people in the rivers and lakes also re-examined the old case and looked at Zhou Shiya differently.

Zhou Shiya's second disciple Yue Zhong, the word spiritual, is a brave man, when he visited the villagers to investigate the truth, he encountered Qi Qi. Yue Zhong fended off the beast alone and saved a woman surnamed Sun from its mouth. This woman is the wife of Yue Zhong and the mother of Yun'er in the future.

A year later, when Yufu and Sun were about to give birth, Zhou Ying and Yue Zhong made a drunken agreement that if both families gave birth to boys, they would be brothers, if they were both girls, they would be sisters, and if there was a boy and a girl, the two families would kiss each other and let them become husband and wife.

Unexpectedly, Yufu was pregnant in October and gave birth to two boys, while Sun gave birth to a daughter. Zhou Jue also felt embarrassed, and he didn't mention the agreement with Yue Zhong again.

However, later Zhou Sheng was snatched away and died young, and when Zhou Yi and Yun'er grew up, some people began to mention the past of the fingertip marriage.

But for Zhou Yi, he regards Yun'er as a sibling brother and sister, no matter how smart and clever Yun'er is, he can't treat her as a confidant according to the agreement of his fathers.

When the two were young, they often laughed and played together, but when Yun'er's love first opened, the concept of the difference between men and women gradually sprouted in her consciousness, and someone mentioned her marriage contract with Zhou Yi, she saw Zhou Yi again, and she paid attention everywhere, lest she lose her dignity.

This made Zhou Yi extremely unhappy.

However, Zhou Ying valued Yue Zhong's face very much, and every time Zhou Yi reasoned with him about this matter, he was rejected by him, so his father and son often worried about this issue.

Therefore, Zhou Yi had a bold idea, if he married another woman, then his father would not be able to impose another Yun'er on him in this matter. Four years ago, Zhang Yufu wanted to come to Wuxiang Mountain to visit Yu Xi, and Zhou Yi also learned about this woman with a good background, but at that time he was not in good health, and Zhou Ying had some knots, so he didn't let him follow.

Zhou Yi was unwilling, and privately asked his mother to bring a letter to Yu Xi, and just like that, the two of them came and went, and the letters exchanged continuously for four years.
