Fengluo listens to the sound of snow

She sat on the bed, thinking about it.

It suddenly occurred to me that when she first met her aunt, she said that she and her mother looked alike.

It's really strange, my mother died young, and my impression of her is blurred.

But even I know that my appearance is quite similar to that of my father, and everyone in the village says that I look like my father, never said that I look like my mother.She had thought that she might be like her mother in some ways, but because the people in the village didn't want to mention her mother very much, for fear of making her father sad, she didn't doubt what her aunt said.

But today, when Shigu mentioned her mother, she suddenly said, "You really are the same kind as your mother." This speech was very different from usual, and her expression was also very angry, which was very different from the usual empathy.

What's wrong with mother?Did you offend her?

But if the mother has an intersection with her, how can she offend her?

Moreover, it stands to reason that Qi Chen's father is her senior brother, and Qi Chen is also her senior nephew, but from the very beginning, her attitude towards Qi Chen was abnormal. Just now, she said, "If he dies here, we will How to explain to Qijiazhuang?"

These words fit the situation and identity, but did she just want to "confess" Qi Chen?

No, not right.

Qin Shuang carefully recalled the expression on her aunt's face when she spoke, and was suddenly startled: when she spoke, she wasn't angry, nor was she worried about giving an explanation, but a kind of worry, a kind of helplessness, and... a kind of heartache.

She thought carefully about the scene of the conversation with her aunt just now, and replayed the scenes after entering the villa several times in her mind, but she became even more confused.

When he entered the village, he saw that his aunt was very beautiful and also looked young, and the conversation with Qi Chen was not like that of an aunt and nephew, but rather like a couple who hadn't seen each other for a long time.So she had boldly guessed that she and Qi Chen would have a romantic affair.And now, she cares so much about Qi Chen's attitude towards her and Qi Chen's attitude, and even persuades herself not to provoke a man who is engaged to be married. If there is a real story between the two of them, it makes sense.But what about his own mother?Why would she say that about her mother?

Qin Shuang sat on the bed, supported her head with one hand, and tapped the quilt with the other, unable to figure it out.

After a while, she suddenly thought of something and had a flash of inspiration.

If the two of them don't have that kind of relationship, what kind of relationship can make her worry, feel helpless, and feel distressed?

At this time, she quietly covered her mouth: They can't be mother and son, can they? !

Wait, that's even more wrong.

If she was Qi Chen's mother, why didn't she stay at Qi's Village?Seeing Qi Chen, isn't this attitude right?

On the rivers and lakes, Qi Chen's father, the owner of Qi Family Manor, has been saying to the public that Qi Chen's mother died of a difficult childbirth, and she has not been reunited for so many years...

It makes sense to say so, but this is too absurd!

Could it be that Master Aunt refused to give up on Bishui Villa, so she didn't stay with Qi Chen's father?

All kinds of thoughts lingered in her mind, but she was still not sure about the relationship between Qi Chen and her aunt.

After being puzzled for a while, she finally felt uneasy. Seeing that there was no one in her yard, she quietly put on her clothes, and tiptoed to Qichen's yard next door, wanting to see if he was there.

After entering the yard, she saw a lot of people coming in and out, so she could easily find herself, so she no longer approached the wing room, but hid by the wall of the yard to watch.

Although she didn't see Qi Chen, judging from the situation here, Qi Chen must be inside.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he secretly made up his mind that he would come over when there were fewer people, so he left.

At this time, the wing room in the courtyard was very lively.

Qi Chen was lying on the bed with a pale face, while Li Muxue wiped his face with water, his face was serious.The maids next to her were all in a hurry, preparing the prescription given by the owner.

Jing Ning stood beside Li Muxue, and said in a low voice: "Master, I advise you not to..."

Li Muxue looked at Qi Chen and suddenly smiled, but this smile actually shed tears.

"Jingning, tell me, is God punishing me?"

"The owner of the villa has a kind heart, why did God punish you? Owner, stop thinking about it, and heal the young master well, and he will get better."

Li Muxue didn't speak, and after a while, her eyes turned red.

"This sluice gate is only opened once a month. He can't wait for so long. He was injured by the water beast. If he is not treated as soon as possible, he may die."

"But the Zhuang mainly enters Meitan from the spring in the back mountain, which is even more dangerous. Although it is connected to Meitan, it is retrograde, and the water underneath is unpredictable..."

"I don't care so much anymore. Jingning, I have to go down." Li Muxue suddenly held a corner of her clothes, but then smiled, "Oh, it's been more than 20 years, and no one has successfully picked the odd-age grass. Those who went down either died in the Baxi Formation at the bottom of the water, or died under the minions of the water-derived beasts, or they could come up, but fell ill. I used to think that no one could pick this thing up again, but now, I But I'm going down to pick it."

"Owner! Jing Ning is willing to sneak into Meitan to pick on behalf of the owner."

"Why do you want to go?" Li Muxue looked at her, "This matter, I have to go."

"Master, think twice." Jing Ning said in a worried voice.

Li Muxue didn't speak.

Qin Shuang brought the grass back, but that grass was not a real odd-age grass. Although it looked alike, it had no function.The real Odd Age Grass can only be found at the intersection of Meitan and Shenquan after crossing the Shuiyan Beast and walking behind it.The grass is low, and the blades of the grass are jagged, very sharp, and I accidentally scratched my hand...

But I never went down, these are all heard from my father.At this moment, she suddenly thought of Qin Shuang, "By the way, Shuang'er, I have something to tell her."

When Li Muxue came in, Qin Shuang was sitting on the bed in a daze.

Seeing her come in, she was about to get up to salute, but Li Muxue pressed her down.

"Shuang'er, I have something to tell you." She said.

"Auntie, tell me." Qin Shuang saw her red eyes, and immediately thought: Qi Chen couldn't be...

At this time, Li Muxue completely ignored what she just said, and she was full of pleading when she opened her mouth, "Shuang'er, your coldness has almost gone, please take care of Qi Chen these few days, I have something to leave. "

When I rescued Qi Chen from the Jingshi in the back mountain, I thought he was not injured but just suffered from the cold, so I didn't pay much attention to it.But just after careful inspection, he found that his left shoulder was scratched by the eight-handed soul-piercing arrow, his arm was bitten by a water-derived beast, his pulse was weak, and the cold air entered his body. If he continued to delay like this, his life might be lost.

The only thing that can cure the bite of the water-derived beast and the wound of the soul-piercing arrow is the strange-age grass from Meitan.

"Master, where are you going? How is Qi Chen?"

"Go to Meitan to gather medicine."

"Master, is it for Qi Chen? How is Qi Chen?"

"Shuang'er, I was too willful before," Li Muxue cried, "Don't take what I said just now, it's all my fault, I shouldn't say that about you."

"Master, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" Qin Shuang had never seen her lose her composure before, but now because of what she just said, she begged first, then apologized, and shed tears. What's wrong?Is it because of Qi Chen?

"Not much to say, if there is no Odd Age Grass, Qi Chen will die."

Li Muxue wiped away her tears, got up and was about to leave.

"Senior Aunt, be careful! I..." Qin Shuang wanted to say that I would go down with you, but then thought of her Senior Aunt asking her to take care of Qi Chen, so she didn't say it.

Li Muxue left.

This is her first adventure in 40 years.

Or for a mistake.

She felt troubled, disturbed, and angry, but also felt owed, guilty, and helpless.

In the end, it all turned into a wry smile.She walked to the spring in the back mountain and jumped down without hesitation.No matter what the price is, we must get the Odd Age Grass.she thinks.

After Shigu left, Qin Shuang couldn't wait to get out of bed and walked to Qi Chen's wing.She saw that the maids next to her had all gone down, and only Jing Ning was still guarding.Qi Chen was lying on the bed.

"How is he? Is he seriously injured?" Qin Shuang approached and asked.

"Miss Qin," Jing Ning didn't get up to salute, "You know, the young master's appearance is all because of you. Do you know that the owner is so sad because of you."

"I...I know, I..." Qin Shuang didn't know what to say, and finally felt sorry, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

"You know?" Jing Ning looked back at Qin Shuang, and suddenly changed her voice, "Then you know, the young master pushed you out first, but put himself in a dangerous situation and suffered numerous injuries. Do you know why?"

After hearing this, Qin Shuang thought to herself, it really is the master and servant, and the questions are all the same.

"Brother Qi is chivalrous and always wants to protect me. I am very grateful." She replied.

Even though he said that, maybe it was because of what the aunt said today, so he really felt a little guilty for answering this way. Qin Shuang couldn't tell why he was guilty.And my aunt also reminded herself today, so I had no choice but to say so.

"Okay." Jing Ning looked at Qin Shuang helplessly, then asked again, "Miss Qin, what do you think of the young master?"

"Brother Qi is very good and takes good care of me." Qin Shuang was responding in such a monotonous manner, when she suddenly realized, she exclaimed: "Jing Ning, you... you call Brother Qi...Young Master?"

It's Young Master, not Young Master Qi!

This shows what?

"So what?" Jing Ning was sullen, "There are some things that you will know when you should know, and when you shouldn't know, it's best not to ask."

"Yes, yes, yes," Qin Shuang responded hastily, "I was talking too much. Sister Jingning, don't be angry, I assure you, brother Qi and I are just brothers, there is absolutely nothing else."

She thought about Qi Chen's relationship with her owner, what her owner said, and her abnormal state today, so she didn't ask any questions and quickly explained.

"Miss Qin, you..." Jingning was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, "Have you ever thought about it, if the young master doesn't have brotherly feelings for you?"

"Ah? Probably not... But if that's the case, I think I'll have to go back to Qinjiazhuang and never see Brother Qi again. Do you think it's okay?"

Qin Shuang was thinking about what to say to satisfy her.

"Why are you?"

"Because my aunt said, don't provoke a person who has a marriage contract, it will only harm others and yourself. What's more," she hesitated for a moment, but said, "what's more, this person has a very close relationship with my aunt. I think I'm even more untouchable."

Jing Ning laughed angrily, "The owner didn't mean that. Anyway...everything will be clear when the owner comes back."

Qin Shuang looked at her, and became even more puzzled.

April seventeenth.night.Cypress forest in front of Robbie Hill.

Qin Feng walked leisurely on the path among the cypress trees.In the past few days, he would come here to stroll around every night.

In early summer, the cypress trees are tall and straight, and the whole forest is already dense.

Walking here, blowing the cool evening breeze, all the troubles seem to disappear, and all the unhappiness seems to be melted away by this piece of greenery.It is also here that it is easier to organize your thoughts in your head.

These days, he has been greeting his father morning and night, dealing with some matters in the village, and has not gone to see Su Xueyin.

But only he himself knows that he hasn't given up yet.

No matter what, he couldn't give up.

But what about Xueyin?Will he think the same as himself?

A few days ago, he came to Qinjiazhuang and met his father.What they talked about, he didn't know.But he knew that the jade pendant, which symbolized the identity of the Qin family village, was given to him by himself. Although he declined it, he finally accepted it.Did he think so too?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

But the smile only lasted for a moment, and then he put it away.

He thought of his sister who was away, and Qin Shuang's fight in the woods.To be more precise, he thought of the group of strange swordsmen who robbed things.They don't belong to any faction of Jianghu, but they are cruel and ferocious. In the past few days, they have made trouble several times, causing many deaths and injuries to Jianghu.Could it be that there is a new killer organization in Jianghu?

He walks along the path.While thinking about things all the way, he suddenly saw Quan Yulu standing in front of him.Dressed in a lake-colored dress, she is looking intently at a tree.

"Miss Quan," he called to her, "what are you doing here? Are your feet better?"

Only then did Quan Yulu come to her senses, and saluted Qin Feng, "Mr. Qin, thank you for your concern, and thank you for inviting a doctor to treat her. She is much better now."

"It's so late, why did you leave Zhuangzi and come here?"

"I heard that in front of Luobi Mountain in the north of Qinjiazhuang, there is a cypress forest, magnificent and tall, so I sneaked here to take a look. I didn't expect to get lost here."

Quan Yulu was a little embarrassed.

"Miss Quan, if you want to come here, you can ask the maids to bring you here. You don't have to be polite to them, and don't feel strange because you think this is the Qin Family Village." Qin Feng said.

"It's true that I was negligent," Quan Yulu said, "I just wanted to run out to relax, so I came out by myself. I didn't expect this place to be so big that I got lost."

"Let's relax? The girl is not used to living here?"

"No, no," Quan Yulu replied, "Actually, it's nothing, I've already thought about it."

"Miss has been here for a full month, are you homesick?" Qin Feng asked.

He thought that if she was homesick, he would just send her back.

Quan Yulu shook her head, and then said, "Young Master Qin, I beg you to let me stay for a while longer, and I will go back when there is a result."

"Miss, why do you say that, Qi Chen is my friend, and he can be regarded as my younger brother. You can stay as long as you want. But I am worried that the maids in Qin Family Village are too clumsy and neglected the girl. "

He said that to remind Quan Yulu that she is from Qijiazhuang.

It's okay not to say that, but as soon as she said this, Quan Yulu smiled wryly, "Young Master Qin, I think that after a while, I will have nothing to do with him anymore."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"I've been here for so many days, and Qijiazhuang hasn't sent anyone to look for me, and Brother Chen hasn't heard anything about it. My father is sick in bed, and he just wants to see that I have a home. I...I really can't go back. Brother Chen has been evading it all the time. I think he must have found a way to reject the marriage. But my father wanted me to marry him. Before I left, he said that if Brother Chen couldn’t be persuaded to go back, he would There is no need to go back..."

She tried her best to appear calm, but her voice was still trembling, and there were tears in her eyes, as if there were many unspeakable things to hide.

"What about the girl herself? What do you think?"

"Me?" Quan Yulu smiled wryly, "What can I think, so I just thought that if my father's wish can be fulfilled, no matter how Brother Chen treats me, it will be good. Daddy raised me alone, I really don't want to see him sad. But now..." Quan Yulu choked up even more when she said this.

She tried to calm down for a while before continuing, "If people have no expectations, they will never be disappointed again. Just like me now, all expectations have been obliterated."

Qin Feng felt shocked.

After a while, she slowly said: "The girl is still young, so there is no need to be so desperate. I believe that she will find a lover in the future."

Quan Yulu smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your relief. In fact, I was just complaining. If I can regain my freedom as soon as possible, even if I am ridiculed by the world, so what?"

"Young lady has a big heart, which is really admirable. Today, I have made friends with you as a friend." Qin Feng also said with a smile.

He said this, first because Quan Yulu confided his heart to him, and second because he also felt that although she had a gentle face and seemed to have the mood of a little girl, she had a personality that could be taken and let go, hearty and magnanimous, and not Like an ordinary woman.

Quan Yulu saluted him: "From then on, I will ask Brother Qin to take care of me."

"Okay, okay," Qin Feng smiled, then looked at the sky, "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

The two talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and chatted along the way, which turned out to be quite speculative.

The author has something to say: she feels troubled, disturbed, and angry, but also feels owed, guilty, and helpless.

What is the relationship between Qi Chen and Li Muxue?

Qin Feng brought back Quan Yulu from outside the village.

Qin Feng said to Quan Yulu: Today, I have made friends with you as a friend.

However, after so many years, he brought back two people from outside the village, Su Xueyin and Quan Yulu...

What is his attitude towards Quan Yulu?
