The moon is as cool as water

Yin Ze once mentioned to Jiang Qi his little sister in his hometown. Yin Ze said that his little sister has both talent and beauty. She is a woman who is in heaven and earth, and deserves to be cherished and loved by the best men in the world.When Yin Ze said this, Jiang Qi thought of his mother, whom he had never met. According to his master, his mother was also the most beautiful woman in the world.

Although Jiang Qi was born as a young master, he has been on the mountain for many years, and he has long been unaccustomed to having someone close to him.Yue Liang knew that he was unhappy, but he didn't let go, until Jiang Qi complained to him a few times, then he acquiesced that he could stay in the room alone.

Yue Liang felt that he was still very kind, as long as Jiang Qi was willing to give in, he could also loosen the reins, as long as he did not leave Qingyi Mountain.

Jiang Qi arrived at Shuiyun Xiaozhu as before. Yue Mingxi used to come here often, but now it almost became his exclusive resting place.This time he did not directly enter the house and slam the door, but told the two disciples who followed him: "I am a little tired, I want to rest here for a while, and you are guarding outside the door. If the headmaster comes to find Me, you just knock on the door and call me. If he doesn't come, you can call me after dinner."

Qing Ye and Lai Yu have been following him for many days, knowing that he has lost all his internal energy and cannot turn over big waves, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance, and immediately replied: "Yes."

After Jiang Qi closed the door, he went straight to the table and sat down. He moved the mechanism under the table with ease, and heard an unexpected sound.Today is the day when Yue Liang handles assignments in the front hall, this month's accounts and other important matters must be reported to him by his subordinates.

Jiang Qi reckoned that he would not return to Qingfeng Courtyard so soon, but he didn't dare to waste any time, he immediately bent down and touched the edge of the raised pine floor.Through the previous inspections, he already knew that there was a small opening on the side of the edge of the floor, which made it easier for him to fully support the floor under the table.

The hut is built on a rocky cliff, which is formed almost from a single block of stone.Under the pine floor under the table table is a stone slab that is different from the stone next to it. There is nothing below the slate. It is actually a stone cave dug by hand, just enough for a grown man to pass through.

There was no light under the table, and it was unclear how deep it was. Jiang Qi slowly slid his body down the cave, and just when his waist and abdomen were at the entrance, he felt a kick on his toes, and he stepped on a horizontal strip. thing.Lifting one foot and moving it back, forth, left, and right for a moment, he knew in his mind that there was probably a step under his foot.

Jiang Qi moved slowly, and his body gradually lowered to the ground. After his head completely entered the cave, he was surprised to find that there was actually light in the cave. Although it was not bright, he could barely see clearly. On an iron ladder, the iron ladder has a stone board, which allows him to stand firmly on it and climb up and down.

It was a small stone room, and there was a "squeak" sound from the light source. Jiang Qi climbed down the iron ladder and found that the stone room was almost empty except for a wooden box in the corner.Jiang Qi frowned, Yue Mingxi set up this stone room under the hut, and has not disclosed any information to him for many years, so he doesn't know what his purpose is.

The stone room was simple and rough, and the wooden boxes were randomly placed in the corners, it didn't look like they were storing valuables.Jiang Qi was going to go straight out, but stopped in front of the wooden box, which was unlocked.He thought it would be better to see what was inside, and if there were valuable items, he would bring some with him, since he is penniless now, he really needs some money to escape from here.

When I opened it, I saw that there were some picture scrolls inside. The picture scrolls were placed in a mess, as if they were just thrown in casually, and the humidity in the room was extremely heavy, so the picture scrolls were damp and sticky.

Jiang Qi took out a scroll and moved it to a place with slightly better light. The unfolded picture was blurred in the weak light, and he could only see that it was a young woman.But it was enough, Jiang Qi's hand holding the picture scroll couldn't help trembling slightly, the woman in the picture had a little cinnabar on her eyebrows, and a uniquely shaped walking stick was inserted obliquely on her head, she was her mother Jiang Chen.

Jiang Qi has never met his biological mother, but since he was a child, there has been a portrait of Jiang Chenshi in his home, and the cinnabar between his eyebrows has already been deeply engraved in his heart.At that time, Jiang Pingtian would often hug the young Jiang Qi, sit in front of Jiang Chen's portrait, and describe to him the beauty of the woman he fell in love with at first sight.

Jiang Qi put down the scroll and picked up other scrolls in the box to look at. Every one is Jiang Qi's family, sitting and standing, winter and summer, the only thing that remains unchanged is the cinnabar on the tip of his eyebrows.The more you scroll down, the rougher your painting skills are. Yue Mingxi is busy with his affairs, so he rarely has time to calm down and paint. This box full of scrolls is the result of years of accumulation.

Jiang Qi hastily flipped through a few pages, his heart beating like a drum, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only cover the box as it was and continue walking outside.

The interior of the stone chamber came out with traces of man-made repairs, but it gradually changed when going outside. I think the outside part was formed naturally.Jiang Qi quickly saw clearly that the exit was a narrow crack that could allow one person to pass through. Apart from the light, there was also a fine stream of water that poured into the room from the crack.

The gap was slippery, Jiang Qi walked over carefully, and instantly understood that the stone chamber was clearly a gap in the cliff below the Qingfengjian Waterfall.The location of the gap is unique and extremely hidden. This gap, which cannot be seen from the cliff, avoids most of the water flow of the waterfall, and it has become an excellent place for people to settle down.

I don't know how Yue Mingxi discovered this gap, but he forcibly dug the gap several meters inward, forming a stone chamber.

Jiang Qi walked out of the gap and found that it was only a few meters away from the water pool under the cliff. As long as he stayed away from the water impacted by the waterfall, he could swim to the shore safely.Jiang Qi carefully estimated the distance from the cliff, now he has no internal energy like an ordinary person, and his water skills are not very good.He looked around carefully, and there was no grass growing on the cliff, and there were no plants that could be clinged to.

Jiang Qi looked back at the stone room, and looked over from the edge of the cliff, where it looked like a monster's big mouth.Jiang Qi felt a sharp pain in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, looked at the location under the pool, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and jumped down.

The pool water was icy cold, and when Jiang Qi fell into the water, he felt his right foot touch something hard, followed by a tingling pain.When he swam to the shore with all his strength, he found that his right ankle was so painful that he couldn't stand up. When he reached out to touch it, his heart felt cold again. The ankle had obviously been hit by a rock at the bottom of the water and had been fractured.

The pool is not a place to stay for a long time, Jiang Qi dragged his injured leg to climb ashore, feeling cold and painful.He thought with a wry smile, fortunately he had suffered enough a while ago, and he was no longer the squeamish young man he was back then.

There was a mess of trees beside the pool, Jiang Qi stood up and pulled a nearby shrub branch, which could barely be used as a crutch for support.Although this mountain is only a short distance away from the boundary of the Tsing Yi Sect, but there is no way out of the cliff, and no one in the sect has ever been here.

The branches were messy and weeds were overgrown. Jiang Qi leaned on the branch that served as a cane with one hand, and grabbed the trees and vines around him with the other.Once hidden in the bushes, Jiang Qi was not too worried that Yue Liang's people would find him. The biggest problem became his ankles which hardly touched the ground.

But after walking a few steps, the pain caused tears to roll in his eyes.Fortunately, he soon discovered that there was a small path among the trees, which was probably formed when villagers from the bottom of the mountain were chopping firewood on this mountain.The path is intermittent, probably since the beginning of spring, the villagers need less firewood, and they don't need to go so far to cut firewood.

Jiang Qi carefully identified the path of the path and walked down the mountain. As long as someone has been here, it proves that there are people nearby, and there is hope for those people.
