Ren Xia of the Wandering Rivers and Lakes

After returning to the room, Xiao Que was sure that Liu Changyue was angry.

Liu Changyue walked into the back of the screen and ignored Xiao Que, Xiao Que tried hard to think whether Liu Changyue didn't like what he did just now, because he was too busy talking to his sister and those people Did he ignore Liu Changyue, or did he accidentally drink up the whole pot of wine and was discovered by Liu Changyue?

Xiao Que was very troubled, really troubled. Compared with these personnel matters in Penglai Town, Liu Changyue was so angry that he ignored him, which was much more serious to him.

But because he was a little drunk, Xiao Que sat on the couch thinking about it, and accidentally fell on the couch and fell asleep.

Liu Changyue came out from behind the screen and saw that Xiao Que had fallen asleep, naturally his expression became even worse.

He wondered if this child has a heart, and when will he be able to calm down and understand that he is the one who wants to be with him forever, instead of just having a sister or a mother-in-law and just walking away with him.

Liu Changyue looked at Xiao Que for a long time, Xiao Que was snoring slightly, while Liu Changyue looked blank.

I don't want this child to worry about other people at all, not at all, even at all.

He wanted everything from the child, just as he had already given all of himself to the child.

But Xiao Que didn't understand at all, he didn't understand the bond between them, and he didn't understand his feelings for him.

Liu Changyue stared at Xiao Que, didn't speak, just watched him quietly until late at night, and he didn't know how long he stood there. He had an illusion, as if as long as he kept looking at the child like this, the child would It will belong to him completely and will no longer be seen by outsiders.

At the middle of the night, some human voices came from outside the yard, and then gradually increased from far to near.

The firelight of the red lantern flickered outside the door, someone knocked on the door, knocked many times, and also woke Xiao Que who was sleeping.

Xiao Que got up from the couch and walked to open the door in a daze.

Liu Changyue had already returned to the screen at this time, Xiao Que thought he had fallen asleep, and when he opened the door, he saw seven pairs of elders staring at him, he blinked and said softly: "What's the matter?" ?"

The oldest elder in the lead blew his beard and stared: "We have discussed it, there is no need to discuss this matter!"

Xiao Que scratched his head and asked, "Why didn't we discuss it after discussing it?"

Another elder said angrily, "It's the master's business!"

The elder spoke too loudly, Xiao Que hurriedly "shushed" and said, "Brother Liu is asleep, please speak softly, don't wake him up."

The seven people had originally sneaked here with Mao Xing behind their backs. In the master's house, they did not dare to speak too loudly, for fear that it would be bad if they quarreled with the master.

So they took a step back and whispered: "Boy, you have only two choices right now. The first is to marry the master immediately, but you are a child and you have to obey the master in everything. The second is to die! But because of you You have seen the master’s jade feet, so you have to dig out your own eyes first, and because you have touched the master’s feet, you then cut off your hands, and finally you have to kill yourself for the extremely bad behavior of sleeping on the same bed with the master. Sorry!"

Xiao Que frowned, and said, "Well, the second..."

The elders thought that Xiao Que would choose the second choice, and the hearts of the seven people all raised their hearts together.

Xiao Que said: "Since I dug my eyes and lost my sight, I still have to cut off my hands? After I cut off my hands, my hands are gone, and I have to kill myself to apologize? This is very difficult!"

Suddenly a young elder laughed out loud with a "puchi", which was very loud in the quiet night.

The faces of the other elders turned black and then turned red, and their anger was hard to calm down.

One of them said angrily: "This is a very serious matter, boy, don't think that you can delay it by joking around like this."

Xiao Que was about to say that he didn't, and another person sighed and said, "Do you know what is meant by 'a man and a woman don't kiss each other'?"

Xiao Que replied earnestly: "I have heard of it! But what does 'beasts and beasts do not kiss' mean? Can't wild beasts kiss with wild beasts?"

A group of elders seemed about to collapse. "'Men and women can't kiss each other' comes from Mencius, which means that under the rules of morality and etiquette, men and women are not allowed to have skin-to-skin contact, otherwise it will destroy the chastity of women. Our master is a single line from the ancestors, and only this blood line is left , if it is because you broke the chastity of the master and made the bloodline unable to continue, what a crime you would be!"

After many people’s explanations, it was only then that I realized with an “ah”: “So men are not allowed to touch women? Not even hands?”

"Yes! That's it!" The elders were very happy that Xiao Que had finally enlightened.

"So I want to marry my sister?" Xiao Que asked.

Although the elders didn't speak, they were staring at him with a pair of copper bell eyes that were bigger than one pair.

Xiao Que scratched his hair again, not knowing that the matter was so serious.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rolling wheels in the yard, and the wheels rolled over the fallen leaves in the yard, making a slight crackling sound.Then a gentle female voice sounded, saying:

"The seven elders are really in a good mood. It's so late, and they still come to my place to visit guests."

It turned out that the man was Pleiades.As soon as Subaru Xing's words came out, the seven people's foreheads were sweating at the same time, they turned around and knelt down on one knee in an instant, and shouted together: "Welcome to the master!"

Subaru Xing smiled softly and said, "Several elders, get up, they are all very old, don't kneel."

But when all seven were about to get up, Mao Xing said again: "The Sun family, the Qi family, the Wang family, and the Ru family all have gray hair, so why don't you stand up like the elders?"

When Subaru Xing said this, there was a touch of majesty in his words, and the four people whose surnames were called knelt down again, without even saying a word.

A group of people made way for Xu He to push Subaru Xing over. Only then did Xiao Que realize that Subaru Xing was wearing women's clothing, a light turquoise top, a simple but beautiful pleated skirt, and light embroidery on the sleeves and skirts. With a silver phoenix pattern, a melon-seeded face with light makeup, clear and bright apricot eyes, and diamond-shaped lips with a touch of red rouge, Xiao Que felt like a fairy had come down to earth!

Seeing that Xiao Que was stunned, Subaru star chuckled lightly and said, "Why, my brother is actually stupid?"

Xiao Que's whole face turned red in an instant, and she said uncomfortably, "No, it's my sister who suddenly became so beautiful, which surprised me."

Subaru star laughed lightly when he heard that, the laughter reached Xiao Que's ears and made him feel his ears itchy, so he stretched out his hand to pick it out, but even his ears turned red.

Subaru Xing was pushed over by Xu He, ignored those elders, and said to Xiao Que: "Xiao Que, sister only asks once, will you marry sister?"

"Huh!" Xiao Que was shocked.He thought these things were just howls from the elders, but Pleiades also asked the same questions as them.

Pleiades smiled faintly. Somehow, the same face was heroic when dressed as a man, but a little soft when dressed as a woman. Coupled with the relationship of sitting in a wheelchair, the whole person showed a kind of weakness. Fufeng, the feeling of weakness that wants to be taken care of.

Pleiades said: "My sister is already 22 this year. She has never cared about anyone. The only thing she likes is being with you as a younger brother. You are considerate and gentle, you treat my sister well unconditionally, and you saved her life. Besides, my sister looks so good. Big, I haven't slept with anyone before, only when I'm with you, my sister feels at ease. You saved my sister, don't say anything else, just this one, the rules of the world can be promised..."

Xiao Que was stunned. "I saved you, so I have to promise you with my body? Is there such a rule?"

Pleiades smiled and said, "No, it's my sister who promised you with her body."

Xiao Que frowned, scratched his head, and scratched his neck with his hands. This time, not only his face and ears, but even his neck became red all over.

Seeing Xiao Que hesitate, Subaru made the last and most powerful move.She spoke softly, her voice so soft that water could be wrung out. "Xiao Que, is it because I'm not pretty enough that you don't like me? Or is it because I've changed from a brother to a sister, and you feel cheated, so you hate me?"

Xiao Que immediately shook his head and said, "That's not true, my sister is pretty, my sister is very good-looking, I have never seen a girl who is more beautiful than my sister! Whether it is a brother or a sister, I like them all, I like them all!"

Subaru then laughed. "Then will you marry me?"

Xiao Que paused suddenly, and he didn't know why he paused so suddenly, his ears buzzed suddenly, making his head confused.

Finally, Xiao Que took a deep breath, looked at Subaru Xing deeply with his face red, ears red, and neck red, and said to her: "I don't know, I don't know what to do, sister, let me tell you what to do." Let me think about it, okay?"

Subaru Xing didn't force him, just nodded with a light smile, then turned around, taking the seven troublemakers away along the way.

+ + + + +

Xiao Que closed the door, climbed onto the couch and fell down completely. He let out a long breath, feeling as if he had come back from a life-and-death struggle, and his whole body was powerless.

At this moment, he noticed that someone was approaching, and immediately sat up from the couch, looked up at the person, and called out: "Brother Liu!"

Liu Changyue still looked cold, looking at Xiao Que without warmth.

He had heard the conversation between Xiao Que and Subaru just now, and seeing Xiao Que's blushing face, he also knew how seductive Subaru Xing was when he changed back into women's clothes.Seeing Xiao Que's face full of peach blossoms, he knew that Subaru Xing had really shaken him.

Xiao Que looked at Liu Changyue in confusion, he paused, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Liu, what do you think I should do? Should I marry my sister?"

Xiao Que regards Liu Changyue as a person who is closer than a friend, because he trusts him the most, so when he has doubts, the first person who seeks answers is naturally Liu Changyue.

However, when Liu Changyue heard Xiao Que say this, his expression suddenly became colder.

Liu Changyue bent down slowly, her face was almost close to Xiao Que's. Xiao Que felt that Liu Changyue's whole body was completely different in an instant, which made his heart tremble a little, but he was more puzzled.

Liu Changyue paused and said, "Do you really want to marry that person?" Then she laughed at herself and said, "That's right, your sister Pleiades is young, gentle, and a rare beauty. You don't want to marry her." who to marry?"

Xiao Que froze for a moment, not understanding why Liu Changyue's words sounded so strange.He murmured, "Is that so..."

Liu Changyue became even angrier. "It's natural for a man to love a woman, not to mention that you are just stupid, and you were kidnapped by me in a few words. If you leave me, a villain, and find your beautiful sister Pleiades, wouldn't it be a good time? The Lord of Penglai is rich and powerful Fame is not like a villain like me. Besides, no one in the world can treat you better than her, who would you choose if you didn’t choose her?”

Xiao Que didn't understand why Liu Changyue was so unusual today, every word he spoke was like a needle, piercing his chest every word.

Liu Changyue's cold eyes and suddenly unfamiliar face made Xiao Que feel pain in his chest, but he didn't know what to say to respond.In front of Liu Changyue, he has always been beaten. When this person loses his temper, Xiao Que will never be able to refute it more forcefully than him, because he doesn't want Liu Changyue to be angry, and he doesn't want to see Liu Changyue unhappy. look.

Xiao Que moved back a little bit, but Liu Changyue felt unbearable pain from the movement of leaving.

Xiao Que said, "I think morally, I should marry her..."

"Then you go and marry her!" Liu Changyue's voice became louder. "Ask me what to do?"

Xiao Que suddenly felt sad for some reason. "But Brother Liu is my closest and most trusted person, so I want to ask you, and I want you to help me out."

Liu Changyue was suddenly furious, stepped back, and overturned the table behind the couch.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You want to get married, but you want me to advise you? Who do you think I am, and nothing happened between us? You, have you ever thought about how I feel? ?”

Xiao Que looked at the angry Liu Changyue with a dull expression.

Liu Changyue sneered a few times, her voice slowed down, and she said slowly: "I am so kind to you, which makes you take everything for granted. Ask me if I will marry Pleiades? My head is on your neck Come on, this question, you can think about it yourself!"

Xiao Que really thought about it for a while, but right after that, he got off the couch, dragged his heavy steps, and walked towards the door step by step.

"Where are you going?" Liu Changyue asked.

Xiao Que glanced back at Liu Changyue, and said, "Brother Liu, you're acting weird today, I don't want to quarrel with you, so I'm going to stay somewhere else, and come back when your anger subsides, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable, I don't feel well either."

However, when Xiao Que opened the door and was about to step out, Liu Changyue said coldly under the raging waves: "Then you go and find your sister Pleiades. And pretty, you naturally think she is thousands of times better than me, so you don't bother to be with me."

Liu Changyue spilled all the vinegar in a big vat, and his words were so cold and merciless.

"It's not like this..." Xiao Que murmured, but no one could hear the small voice except him.

When Xiao Que's foot landed outside the threshold, Liu Changyue only said in the room: "If you want to get out, get out of the way, and don't let me see you again."

Liu Changyue's icy tone made Xiao Que's chest throb and throb.But he asked, "What if I saw it?"

"Kill you."

Xiao Que turned his head in disbelief, only to see Liu Changyue looking directly at him with a cold expression, not like joking.

Xiao Que suddenly said: "You have no martial arts, how can you kill me?" He thought again how Liu Changyue loved him so much, how could he kill him.

However, in an instant, Liu Changyue came to him suddenly without knowing why, Xiao Que could only smell a fragrance in his nose, and then Liu Changyue put his cold fingers on his neck, and slowly applied Come on.

Xiao Que couldn't move because Liu Changyue put Ruanjinsan on him, and he felt Liu Changyue's force on his neck was getting stronger and stronger, so much that he could hardly breathe.

It wasn't until the moment when Xiao Que's face was completely flushed and his eyeballs seemed to burst into blood that he realized: "Liu Changyue will really kill him, really will kill him!" '

Liu Changyue's chest heaved violently, but when she saw that Xiao Que was not struggling even though she was doing this to Xiao Que, she suddenly remembered what she was doing, and immediately withdrew her hand, feeling cold and scared in her heart.

He actually wanted to kill this child, he actually wanted to kill this child!Just because the child gave his heart to others, he wanted to kill him!

After Liu Changyue let go of Xiao Que, Xiao Que still looked at Liu Changyue blankly.

Xiao Que originally wanted to open his mouth to call "Brother Liu" again, and wanted to say "Don't be angry" again, but because his mouth and throat were dry, he couldn't say anything.

After that, Xiao Que turned around slowly, lowered his head and walked out of the yard slowly.

And Liu Changyue walked to the door and stared at Xiao Que's figure, until she could no longer see that shadow, then stretched out her hand to cover her eyes.

I don't want to give that child to others, I don't want anyone to know that child is good, that child can only be my own...no one can take it away...

+ + + + +

After Xiao Que left the courtyard, he had nowhere to go, so he swayed in the Pleiades Mansion.

Later, he went to Pleiades and saw the candlelight, so he opened the door and walked in. He thought he could find Pleiades, but who knew there was no one there.

Xiao Que sat down on a rocking chair by the window, stretched out his right hand, and stared blankly at the butterfly mark.

The candlelight shone on him, casting his figure on the window paper, forming a silhouette.

Xiao Que flipped his palm and twirled it, and the butterfly in his hand seemed to be flying.

He smiled slightly, but the smile didn't last long before it disappeared from his face.

Staring at his palm, Xiao Que's mind went blank, he couldn't remember who he was, since the time he remembered, the people around him were Subaru Xing and Liu Changyue.

For some reason now, the two people with the most vital vitality are messed up by him, and everyone is forcing him to choose Pleiades.If he doesn't choose Pleiades, Pleiades will be alone all his life, but if he can't be by Liu Changyue's side, Liu Changyue won't let him be with him again.

The more I think about it, the more sour I feel.

He can wield knives and swords, travel all over the country with Pleiades on his back, protect Liu Changyue from anyone hurting him, but he can't do anything else.

He knew that Subaru Xing and Liu Changyue were both extremely smart people, but he was just an ordinary person, he couldn't figure out what they were stalking around, he couldn't figure out that they just wanted to be good to each other , because in exchange for such a result...

When Pleiades sent the seven elders in, what he saw was Xiao Que sitting on the rocking chair, staring down at the brand mark on his right hand.

She called Xiao Que, Xiao Que raised his head, Subaru Xing was frightened by the tears on his face, quickly pushed the wheelchair over, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Que looked at Subaru for a long time, and choked up, tears still dripping down.

Subaru Xing looked down at Xiao Que's right palm, and found that the slightly curved palm had not been around for a long time, and was still filled with Xiao Que's tears on the pink and flesh-colored brand.

Subaru turned his head and told Xu He to leave.

Xu He bowed his head and retreated, closing the door tightly before leaving.

Subaru said, "Why are you crying?"

Xiao Que thought of Liu Changyue's resolute face, and tears kept falling down uncontrollably.

His voice was soft, almost whispering, and his eyes were so empty that Subaruxing felt distressed. "Sister... I just realized now that I have no place to go. The world is so big, there is always a place for me, but why do I feel that I don't want to be anywhere except Brother Liu?"

"Then go back to him." Pleiades said softly, "It's my sister's fault. My sister won't force you."

Xiao Que shook his head. "Sister, Brother Liu doesn't like me anymore, I want to stay with him, but he told me to get out... Sister, not only did he tell me to get out, he even strangled my neck to kill me..."

Xiao Que covered his face with his hands, tears fell from between his fingers.

Subaru star was stunned for a moment, when he looked at his neck according to Xiaoque's words, the horrific marks on his neck made Subaru's heart go cold.

"How could he treat you like this!" Pleiades yelled angrily.

Subaru Xing knew that Liu Changyue was not a good stubble, but he also knew that he really liked Xiao Que in his heart, but he couldn't understand that he could do such a murderous thing to the person he liked, if it wasn't for Xiao Que's martial arts and Liu Changyue's best. Miss, didn't Liu Changyue kill her younger brother with this ruthless hand?

Xiao Que felt uncomfortable, tears kept falling.He was very puzzled, wondering why whenever he thought of Liu Changyue's eyes, intense sadness would keep pouring out of his heart, as if trying to drown him.

He had never felt this way before, a hopeless sense of hopelessness so intense that it almost ate him away.

+ + + + +

Although the entire Penglai Island was under his nose, it took Subaru two days to find Liu Changyue.

And this is when Liu Changyue returned to the small courtyard she arranged, and the servant rushed to report, and Subaru Xing knew where Liu Changyue was.

That night, when Liu Changyue was looking up at the bamboo forest under the moon, Subaru came over alone.

She called out to Liu Changyue from behind: "Master Liu Pavilion." Her voice was as warm and peaceful as before.

Liu Changyue put his hands behind his back, looked at the rustling bamboo leaves for a while, then turned around, looking at Subaru with a pair of calm eyes.

Liu Changyue is not an ordinary person, Pleiades has always known this.Although he lost all his martial arts, it seems that this can't hinder his ability to take people's lives anytime, anywhere and at will.Therefore, even in his own town of Penglai, Subaru did not dare to underestimate this person.

"What's the matter, Lord Penglai?" Liu Changyue spoke coldly, with no warmth at all.

Mao Xing paused, and said: "I would like to introduce my identity to Pavilion Master Liu again... My surname is Dongfang, and I belonged to the Wuling King 300 years ago. Back then, my ancestor failed to seize the heir, and was hunted down by the emperor who was enthroned at that time. Then he took all his family and family members and fled to Penglai Island in the southeast sea, and built Penglai Town, with Penglai Mountain in the middle of Penglai Island as the eye of the formation, and set up a sea formation for a while, and settled here from then on.”

"Oh, then should I kneel down to you and honor you as King Wuling?" Liu Changyue sneered.

Pleiades sighed, and said, "I won't beat you around the bush. You know the treasure map of Tianbi Mountain Villa, and Liu Tianxuan is from the Qingming Pavilion. Your ancestors must have defected to the Central Plains from Penglai Town a hundred years ago. related."

Liu Changyue didn't speak, but Subaru knew that her guess was right.

"Before I handed over the cell boss to you, I asked him. He said that you and Xiao Que came for the elixir. No one in the town knew about it, so I thought... let's talk about it!" Pleiades explain.

The corners of Liu Changyue's mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were dark. "Why don't you think that within these two days, I have found the elixir? I have already sent a letter to order all the killers in the Qingming Pavilion to come to Penglai Town?"

Subaru star said with a smile: "Impossible, the location where the medicine is stored is very secret, only the town masters of the past generations know. And the killer of Qingming Pavilion... I know that there are a few strangers on the island, but Pavilion Master Ruoliu really ordered They did it because they were afraid that someone would have a bad impression."

"Oh, so under this situation, what leverage do you have to negotiate terms with me?" Liu Changyue also laughed.

Although the person in front of him was smiling, Subaru didn't ignore the cold light in this person's eyes.

Subaru sighed, and said, "The day you almost strangled Xiao Que, he cried..."

Liu Changyue suddenly clenched her hands so tightly that her nails got stuck in her palms. "so what?"

"No way..." Pleiades said slowly, "Let's exchange one item for another! You take what you need, and I want what I get. There is no need to make the scene even more chaotic."

"The matter between me and him has nothing to do with you." Liu Changyue's voice was still cold.

Subaru star ignored Liu Changyue, and said leisurely to himself: "I know how good you are to Xiao Que, but Xiao Que doesn't understand. Let's put it this way, you have always wanted to include Xiao Que in your life, Let him understand that no one can intervene in your feelings for him, but he is really ignorant of love and cannot understand your thoughts; while I want to include Xu Ling in my life, but in his eyes I am just his master , so he didn’t even dare to touch me more.”

Liu Changyue didn't speak, so Subaru Xing went on to say: "The matter of getting married this time is because I was wrong first, and Subaru Xing told Pavilion Master Liu first, but if I don't pull Xiao Que in, Xiao Que will never You thought that one day you would leave him, and if he is not enlightened, you will not get him completely. As for me, Xu Ling is the same."

Liu Changyue said coldly, "Major Dongfang designed it well!"

"It's just that I didn't expect you to really want to kill him," Pleiades said.

The corners of Liu Changyue's mouth curled up into a weird and distorted smile. "He is mine. If I can't get all of it, I am willing to destroy it, and I don't want to see him flirting with anyone."

Pleiades shook his head.

But Liu Changyue said: "I want him to think for himself, what would he do without me. Maybe when he can't do anything but keep thinking about the three words Liu Changyue, he will finally understand .”

Subaru Xing said: "Governor Liu is really cruel to him." She understood Liu Changyue's character, Liu Changyue is a person who is cruel to others and even more cruel to herself.If Xiao Que really left him, this person would definitely drag Xiao Que to death.No matter how much he likes that child.

Subaru then said, "Come on, let's talk about dowry and bride price!"

"What dowry gift?" Liu Changyue frowned.

"A wedding banquet, of course there must be coming and going, isn't it?" Subaru star straightened his expression and said:

"You want the medicine of immortality, I have it. There is only one medicine, which was taken from the blood of 49 medicine men raised in the palace, and it took three years and six months to refine it in a pill furnace. The medicine has no name, But since the pavilion master calls it the elixir of death, let's just call it the elixir of death!

According to legend, although the medicine of immortality can reshape necrotic muscles, bones and blood vessels, even repair the sea of ​​qi, it can prolong life, strengthen the body and cultivate vitality, which is better than elixir, but it is said that because this medicine has great benefits, it also has great disadvantages.The medicinal properties of this medicine are ferocious, according to the teachings of the ancestors, unless it is a critical moment of life and death, one should not take it.To die but live is a law against the sky, chaotic reincarnation, so death is greater than life.Therefore, even if I was born with disabled feet, my father would not dare to take the risk of letting me take this medicine. "

Subaru Xing said again: "Penglai Island is no longer inhabitable, and our status is too special, and we have been independent for too long. If the current emperor or someone with a heart finds out, I am afraid it will end badly. So I use this pill, In exchange for a piece of isolated land in the Central Plains, the pill is the price I pay for my people.”

"Success." Liu Changyue responded lightly.But that clanging sound was the most powerful promise of the Pavilion Master Qingming.

Subaru then continued: "Second point, we are in a reciprocal relationship. You ask Xiao Que to play a play with me, of course I won't tell Xiao Que, if I don't get the result I want before worshiping heaven and earth, Xiao Que will still I will be taken away by you, but you promised me that I must treat Xiao Que well, he is too simple, if you can’t let him understand your intentions these days, you have to be persuasive and let him know slowly.”

"You, an outsider, don't need to worry about this matter." Liu Changyue's face hardened.

"How can you count as an outsider, Xiao Que is my most beloved brother!" Subaru laughed.

'I'm still his father! 'Liu Changyue's murderous intent arose, and she really wanted to finish this woman right here.

They talked a lot that night.

Including those from Xiaoque, those from Penglai Town, and some from Xu Ling.

Subaru Xing originally wanted to talk to someone about how he fell in love with Xu Ling, but Pavilion Master Liu didn't appreciate it. When Subaru Xing said the name Xu Ling for the third time, Pavilion Master Liu turned around and left behind. With a handsome but lonely back, he left with an aura that no one could match.

Love, love, simple people can't figure it out, but smart people think too much, so they also get stuck, much deeper than the other party...
