It was cold back then

"Miss Yue?"

Qi Sang was startled, and raised her head.

It was the face of a strange woman, with delicate features and a kind smile, wearing simple plain clothes.

The woman smiled at her: "I thought it was the wrong person, but I didn't expect it to be a girl."

Qi Sang looked her over again: "You know me?"

The woman was about to reply, but she looked at the people around her first, and finally approached her in a low voice: "My name is Aying, the girl may not have any impression of me, I used to be a maid who served by the Pavilion Master's side."

She is from Seven Star Pavilion?Qi Sang took a quick look at her, then turned around resolutely: "You've got the wrong person."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Ah Ying hurriedly held her back: "How could you admit your mistake? When the girl was in the attic, Ah Ying had a few words with you."

Qisang really doesn't remember her, this is the territory of Biyun Villa, since this person is the maid of Qixing Pavilion, maybe she was sent by Meng Qing, she wanted to avoid her, so she pretended to be cold and said: "I don't know her." you."

At any rate, I also stayed in the Seven Star Pavilion for a few years, and her ability to observe words and emotions is not weak. Aying can naturally see that she is avoiding some taboos, so she understands: "Don't worry, girl. It won't hurt the girl, but the girl is kind to me, and I always wanted to thank you face to face, but today I just happened to meet, why don't you find a quiet place to chat?"

Qi Sang was still on guard and questioned: "Those who entered the Seven Star Pavilion will never be able to leave the pavilion in their lifetimes. How could you leave the pavilion safe and sound?"

"That's why I just said that the girl is kind to me," Ah Ying said, "I'm a maid, and I don't know kung fu. Don't worry, girl, just let me go and talk."

After speaking, she dragged Qisang to a place where there were few people.

The two of them walked across the long street to a Juanjuan River, where a few weeping willows were green and there were not many pedestrians around, so it was much cleaner than the market.

"Just now I saw that the girl was chasing this handkerchief, did the pavilion master give it to the girl?" Aying asked while handing it to her.

Qisang took it and thought for a while: "It's sort of it." Actually, it wasn't, Meng Qing didn't say that she would give it to her, but she took it out of her body on the way back to the customs. I will go back.

Ah Ying laughed as soon as she heard it: "That's it, this handkerchief was specially ordered by the Pavilion Master to embroider it."

"She asked you to embroider?"

"Yes."

"Why did she ask you to embroider this?"

Things that have passed, I still have lingering fears at this moment when I mention them, Ah Ying replied: "That's the thing, the girl once gave the owner of the pavilion a painting, what about that painting..." She smiled shyly, "A certain sunset Heavy rain, when I was cleaning the rainwater on the floor, when I got up, I accidentally knocked over the sewage in my hand, and ruined the girl's painting by accident. I don't know if the girl is not there. The owner of the pavilion was very angry. He said that he wanted me to pay for the girl's painting with my life, but then he let me go suddenly and spared my life."

Qi Sang looked at her in astonishment.

It turned out that the woman in front of her was the maid who destroyed her painting, but didn't Meng Qing tell her that she had killed that maid long ago?Why is he standing in front of her alive again at this moment?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Ah Ying continued: "I feel really sorry for ruining the girl's painting. I really regret it, and I'm worried that the pavilion master will think about it one day and suddenly regret it, and still want to kill me." , I didn’t expect the pavilion master to come to me the next day, and I was ready to die at that time, but the pavilion master said..."

As if recalling the scene at that time, when she said this, she shuddered fiercely.

……

It was still raining heavily that day, the light in the simple maid's room was dim, and the sound of thunder and rain was mixed. The only thing that had color was the soft red dress.

Meng Qing randomly picked a chair and sat down without looking at the people on the ground: "Death is inevitable, but life is inevitable. Since you destroyed Sonny's painting, you have to think about how to offset the crime."

Ah Ying knelt at her feet, terrified: "Slave, I don't know... Please let the pavilion master make it clear..."

Meng Qing supported her head, her eyes fell on her: "What will happen?"

A Ying tremblingly said: "I can wash clothes, cook, sweep, make quilts..."

"It's useless?" Meng Qing interrupted her impatiently.

Ah Ying was startled by her.

Meng Qing stared at her, his expression eased after a while, and he said lightly: "I don't expect you to know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you should have some kind of skill."

skill?Ah Ying thought hard: "Slaves...know how to make clay figurines."

"Do you think the master of the pavilion will play with that thing?"

"Then... slaves can also make hairpins."

"A hairpin?" Meng Qing frowned, dissatisfied, "I don't wear a hairpin, if I want to give it to her, it can only be made by me."

Ah Ying knew that she was going to give it away, so she said boldly: "Does the pavilion master want to give a gift to Miss Yue to make amends?"

Meng Qing gave her a cold look: "My pavilion master apologizes? What kind of crime should I pay for?"

Ah Ying immediately said: "No, no, it's a slave, it should be the slave who apologizes." After finishing speaking, she considered again, "Since it is for a girl from Yue... Actually, the slave can also embroider handkerchiefs, and the pavilion master thinks the handkerchief is suitable. Inappropriate?"

Meng Qing finally showed some agreement: "Handkerchief? It's okay."

"Then what does the pavilion master want the slaves to embroider?"

"Naturally, you embroider what she draws."

"This... May I ask what Miss Yue is painting...?"

Meng Qing's face darkened at first, but then she chuckled again: "Can't you see?"

Ah Ying thought that she couldn't tell that the painting was like that, but she didn't dare to speak out, so she could only ask: "I don't have enough knowledge, I can't see it, can the pavilion master tell the slave?"

Meng Qing replied: "Bi An Hua." Then she ordered the other maids to fetch high-quality fabrics, "I have nothing to do today, and I will watch you embroider, so let's do it."

……

After narrating the incident, Ah Ying breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It scared me to death. Being alone in the room with the pavilion master, and being stared at by her to finish the handkerchief embroidery, is simply a kind of life. torture."

Qisang remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, she was very upset: "So Meng Qing didn't kill you, she let you go, and asked you to embroider this handkerchief?"

Ah Ying smiled: "Yeah, not only didn't kill me, but also released me from the pavilion. After leaving the pavilion, I got married and had a small family. I followed my husband to the East and lived in On the Everlasting Regret River, oh yes, last time the pavilion master accidentally drowned in the river, I was the one who saved the pavilion master."

Lan Xin said that Meng Qing was rescued by a maid who had been in the pavilion before, so it turned out to be the one in front of her.

Qisang lowered her head and looked at the handkerchief in her hand, showing a gratified smile: "It's good that she didn't kill you, I always thought she was killing innocent people because of such a trivial matter."

Ah Ying said: "If it weren't for the girl's face, the pavilion master would not let me go so easily, so the girl is Ah Ying's benefactor, thank you so much."

Qi Sang smiled: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank...just thank her."

Ah Ying covered her mouth: "Oh, the girl and the pavilion master are really a couple, and they both say exactly the same thing."

Qi Sang was puzzled: "What exactly is the same?"

"After saving the pavilion master from the river, I also thanked the pavilion master for this matter. Like the girl, the pavilion master also told me not to thank her, but to thank you."

Qi Sang shook her head: "I didn't do anything. If I didn't draw that painting, these things wouldn't happen. You don't have to thank me."

"I heard that the girl was abducted by the people of Biyun Villa, did you return to the pavilion after so long?"

"not yet."

"It must be that Biyun Villa refuses to let you go back and wants to use you to threaten the pavilion master. It's really abominable! I asked the pavilion master to snatch you back, but the pavilion master said that you don't want to go back. It's useless for her to snatch you. The Lord is very sad like that, is there something awkward between you two?"

Qi Sang was surprised: "She... sad?"

Aying laughed: "It's really awkward, girl, I think the pavilion master is sincere to you, how can the young couple not quarrel? Don't be angry when the pavilion master is seriously injured these days. It's hard, if you can return to the Seven Star Pavilion, the girl should go back to the Pavilion Master as soon as possible, how can a maid take care of her properly?"

Qisang sighed heavily, put the handkerchief back into her bosom and put it away, and said softly: "I see, thank you for telling me this."

Aying waved her hand: "No, I can't accept the thank you from the girl. Whenever there is a chance, the girl can come to my house as a guest, preferably with the owner of the pavilion. I will definitely cook a sumptuous meal and treat her well. "

Qi Sang smiled: "Let's talk about it when we have a chance."

After a few words of politeness, they saluted and said goodbye. When they returned to the restaurant, Yue Chuhan and Wu Yulong also happened to come out.

Qi Sang stood beside the two of them and asked, "Is everything finished?"

Yue Chuhan nodded: "Let's go back to the village."

Wu Yulong suddenly said to Qisang: "I've never been to Biyun Villa before, I plan to go and see it with you, the owner of Yuezhuang has no objection, where's the girl?"

Qi Sang was silent: "Me?"

Then I heard Wu Yulong say: "Young lady is a good junior sister of Master Yue. Presumably her status is different from other people's, and her words should have some weight. If Wu wants to visit, he naturally wants to ask the young lady's opinion."

Qi Sang looked at Yue Chuhan, and then at him: "You go." She asked her what she was doing? !

Wu Yulong smiled: "Let's go then."

It was already evening when we returned to the village.

Hearing that Liu Shushu was getting better and she woke up, Yue Chuhan went to visit her in her room, but Qisang herself didn't feel well, so she didn't go with her, and found an empty place after resting in the room for a while Sit and blow dry.

She is on a high platform, and there is a martial arts training place below, there are many archery targets neatly arranged by the wall, and many disciples are practicing archery.

It's okay to be idle, but she is also interesting to watch.

The idle days passed quickly, I felt that the sun was going to set soon, the disciples put down their bows and arrows one by one, and left the place one by one, only Qisang was still sitting there motionless.

She looked at the sunset glow that day and thought: It's getting dark, is she still waiting for her?

Not long after this thought came up, she dismissed it again. How could such a liar say in his heart that he would really come every day after waiting for her? Maybe he was sleeping in the Seven Star Pavilion right now. Running back and forth every day to ask for hardship?

She snorted to herself, and was about to get up and go back to her room, when she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "Why is the girl so fascinated by watching?"

It wasn't the voice of an acquaintance, Qi Sang turned her head, and it was actually Wu Yulong walking towards her.

Qi Sang didn't have a good impression of the character who appeared suddenly on the way, and she didn't know much about him, but when she saw that this person wanted to talk to him, she politely replied: "I see they are shooting arrows."

"Everyone is gone, but the girl still doesn't leave," Wu Yulong said with a smile on his face, "Could it be that the girl is also interested in archery?"

Embarrassing chat, properly embarrassing chat.Qi Sang said dryly: "Ah, maybe, although I don't know kung fu, I might be a talented archer."

She was just joking, but Wu Yulong's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Most of the Xueyu disciples are strong in archery, and Wu is naturally a leader. If the girl is really interested, Wu will be the best." I can point out one or two."

Qi Sang's eyes were strange: "You want to teach me archery?"

"That depends on whether the girl wants to learn or not."

Qi Sang thought for a while, then got up and walked towards the archery range, and said, "I have some expert advice, so let me try?"

The two walked into the field together, and Wu Yulong picked out a smaller bow and arrow and handed it to her: "Let me take an arrow first."

Recalling the postures of those archery disciples before, Qisang imitated the example, setting the arrow and drawing the bow, but her shoulder was still injured, and she couldn't use much strength. Unbearable.

Seeing this, Wu Yulong raised his leg and pushed one of the targets closer: "Come."

Aiming at the red heart, Qisang leaned sideways, concentrating on it, and when the tip of the arrow aimed at the red heart, she pulled the bowstring vigorously, and then let go without hesitation.

The sharp arrow flew away with a "swish", and the next moment it pierced straight into the red heart in the center of the target.

It hit the bullseye!

Qi Sang covered her shoulders, her eyes widened when she saw the result.

"I hit it?!"

Wu Yulong also showed surprise, and praised: "It seems that the girl is really talented!" Then he passed another arrow and said, "Come again."

Although it might be because of her good luck, Qisang was unavoidably a little excited. She didn't care whether the wound hurt or not, and started to fight again after receiving the arrow.

Unexpectedly, this arrow also hit the bull's-eye, just squeezed next to the previous arrow.

Wu Yulong clapped his hands and said, "Good arrow skills!"

Qi Sang was dumbfounded: "This, isn't it fake?"

She looked at the bow in her hand in a daze, and then looked at the two arrows nailed to the target very carefully, wondering if she was really a hidden genius archer?

Now without waiting for Wu Yulong to help her, she took another arrow by herself, but it still hit the target.

Qisang didn't believe in evil, so she endured the pain and tried all the remaining ten arrows in the quiver beside her, but she was so evil, she didn't miss a single arrow, and they were all on the ground. Hit the heart!

"Is this the legendary genius?" Qi Sang blushed with excitement, "Am I not mistaken? Then I shot those arrows above, right?"

Wu Yulong said with a smile: "Wu has seen it with his own eyes, there is no falsehood."

Qi Sang became excited: "I still want to play!"

Wu Yulong pointed to her shoulder: "I'm afraid it won't work, blood is oozing out."

Qi Sang looked down, really, she was playing so hard that she even forgot about it, it's okay not to mention it, she didn't feel anything, but when she mentioned it, she felt that half of her body was about to collapse.

"Ouch, it hurts like hell!"

Wu Yulong looked at her inexplicably for a while, as if he had found a peerless seedling and was afraid of missing it: "I won't go back to the snowy area for a few days, and from tomorrow on, the girl will come here to practice archery at this time , Wu Mou is pointing at the side, how about it?"

Qisang's face was wrinkled in pain, but she still smiled at him and said, "No problem!" After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes slyly, "You don't charge for it, do you? Free teaching is okay, but I don't have any money for charging. If not, just ask my sister to go."

"Wu is that short of money?" Wu Yulong bent his lips and said, "I'm just cherishing my talents. Miss, go back and get the medicine now, don't forget to come back tomorrow."

Qi Sang responded, and hurriedly jumped all the way back.

I thought I was an insulator in martial arts, but I didn't realize that she is really talented in archery. Qi Sang was so happy when she suddenly discovered a potential that she didn't even know about.

In the turbulent rivers and lakes, there is nothing wrong with learning a skill and using it for self-defense. Anyway, she is idle all day long. Before the man in gray is found out, she can practice archery well and become a powerful archer. The hands are not bad either!

Qi Sang was in a good mood, humming a little tune and went back to the room, drank a couple of sips of tea and wanted to see how her injuries were doing.

The collar was lifted, but the wound was not visible, but a small bamboo whistle fell out.

She paused, staring at the bamboo whistle intently.
