Under the sky

Chapter 270 The disaster is hidden

The two of them lit a fire to keep warm and dry their clothes. Shen Weichen leaned in Li Jingfeng's arms. Although it was the twelfth lunar month, his whole body was wet, but there was no chill at all.

The two didn't speak for a long time. No one knew what to say, and the situation was a bit awkward.Shen Weichen shrugged his shoulders back and said angrily: "Don't you even have anything to say?"

Li Jingfeng felt that his infatuation had been paid off and he was full of joy. Even if he died immediately, he was not afraid. However, he also had worries, worries, self-pity and other emotions. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He just wanted to kiss Shen Weichen and his wife more.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Shen Weichen pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't speak again, I'm leaving."

Li Jingfeng said hurriedly: "I'll tell you." After a while, he sighed and said, "My little sister also understands what I want to say."

Shen Weichen said sadly: "Do you have to think about something unhappy at this time?"

Li Jingfeng said: "My little sister wants to help the second and eldest brother, but I am on the run. Sooner or later something will happen, but it won't work."

Shen Weichen said: "I can't explain it, why are you holding me so tightly?"

Li Jingfeng smiled bitterly: "I can't bear to let go, so I have to hug him tighter." After saying that, he bent his arms and hugged Shen Weichen tightly.

Shen Weichen only felt lazy and didn't struggle.She thought: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and you can't force him. I want to stay with my brother and Qingcheng. Jingfeng won't force me, and I shouldn't force Jingfeng to stay. From now on, Jingfeng will travel around the world, so he has no choice but to leave." Follow him, he is gentle and considerate, and he is also a world-famous hero. Many girls will fall in love with him, and he will have a good match in a few years."

It's really unfair. Before I met Jingfeng, I could see that he had great ambitions earlier than the younger sister of the Su family, and she was the first person he fell in love with. Why should he give it up to others?

Forget it, even if you marry someone else tomorrow, even if Jingfeng's body is in a different place tomorrow, at this moment, in this situation, the two hearts are connected, and the two love each other, after all, no one can take it away.

"Three years, I promised Third Master." Li Jingfeng gently pushed back a strand of Shen Weichen's hair, "My little sister will give me three years. I will go to Gu Cemetery for one year, and I will go to Guanwai for two years. If I can return……"

"At that time, it was up to my little sister whether she wanted to stay in Qingcheng or go on adventures with me and seek death."

"If eldest brother doesn't need me, I'll go with you. Where will you take me?" Shen Weichen asked.

"Wherever the road is uneven, let's go and step on it. Wherever the scenery is good, let's go and open our eyes. Tianmen Mountain in Hunan and Jiuhua Mountain in Hui. Let's go to Songshan to see little sister Yinzheng and ask her to look at her. Spiritual color, my little sister must be purple. Let’s go to Guidi, where there are beautiful mountains and rivers. Let’s go to Fujian. Mr. Xu said that he used to be a sub-ruler in Fuzhou. The sea is wider than a hundred Yangtze Rivers and deeper than ten Chongqing rivers. , I will take my little sister to dive, but this time I can’t be brave anymore. Let’s go to Yunnan again, the deputy commander said the mushrooms there are fresh.”

Shen Weichen was fascinated by what he said, thinking that even though she was the legitimate daughter of Qingcheng, she had only been to two places in Tangmen and Wudang. Even under the jurisdiction of Qingcheng, there were many places she had never been to, and she would never even have the chance to go in her lifetime.

"If my brother needs me at that time, cannot leave Qingcheng, and wanders around the world, he must stay with me for at least a hundred days a year, and give me at least ten letters. One day or one less will not be enough. I’m not lonely.”

"If I don't come back one day," Li Jingfeng said, "My little sister will know that I am unfaithful, so there is no need to wait."

Shen Weichen knew that Li Jingfeng had a stubborn personality and was unwilling to change his sword. He was just afraid that he would be sad because of his betrayal, so he said: "Whether you die or fall in love with each other, I will be sad. If you don't come back, I will be there for the rest of my life." Waiting for you without getting married will make your conscience uneasy for the rest of your life, and the hero Li Jingfeng will ultimately fail you."

Li Jingfeng lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, and whispered in her ear: "If you don't agree, you have to marry a gentle and considerate person and teach me that I am not worthy."

Shen Weichen said angrily: "Say something unlucky on the day of love. Say something nice. If you are in danger in the future, you can't just go all out. You must remember me."

Li Jingfeng nodded, and the two of them chatted sweetly until sunset and their clothes were dry. Then they reluctantly embarked on the return journey. They wanted to ride together, but they were afraid of revealing their presence and making his brother laugh. , had to go together.

Li Jingfeng suddenly remembered something and said, "Little sister, I want to go home and give my mother some incense."

Shen Weichen nodded and asked, "Is it convenient?"

Li Jingfeng said: "I am wearing a mask and it is dark, so the villagers may not recognize me."

Li Jingfeng and Shen Weichen came to Yi'an Town and offered incense in front of their mother's grave.He left Qingcheng for two years, but there were no weeds in front of his mother's grave. Knowing that the villagers were taking care of her, he felt grateful, but felt unfilial, so he knelt in front of the grave to pray.Seeing him praying for a long time, Shen Weichen asked, "What did you tell your aunt?"

Li Jingfeng smiled and said, "I brought my wife back to see my mother."

Shen Weichen blushed: "He was an honest man a few hours ago, but now he has become a scumbag. What Dr. Zhu said is indeed true. Men can't believe it."

Li Jingfeng's teasing words made him blush, and said hurriedly: "My little sister doesn't like it, so I won't say it again."

Shen Weichen said: "I said you were dishonest, but I didn't say I didn't like you."

The two were awkward for a while, and then Li Jingfeng said, "I'll go home and take a look."

Li Jingfeng's former residence was a dilapidated house. It was really dilapidated. The roof collapsed and the wooden boards were rotten in many places.At first, Li Jingfeng spent all his savings to bury his mother and could not afford repairs, so he moved to Fuju Pavilion to live in a woodshed, which was more convenient for work. No one had lived in this house for seven or eight years, and Shen Weichen smelled a musty smell as soon as he entered the house.

Li Jingfeng said: "The smell inside is bad, little sister, please wait for me outside."

Shen Weichen shook his head and lit the fire.There was no oil lamp in the house, and there was not even a chair to be found. The house was really bare.Shen Weichen asked: "Why do you suddenly want to go home?"

Li Jingfeng walked back and forth in the room and said thoughtfully: "When I think about my father, I remember... the image of God Sa."

That should be a taboo thing in the pass, but Li Jingfeng always felt familiar, as if he had seen it before: "My father was sent to die outside the pass, and later returned to the pass to give birth to me. My mother said that my father was dead, and she said she was returning home. I got seriously ill on the country road, so I don’t have my father’s grave.”

Shen Weichen knew that it was his uncle Shen Yongci who reported the betrayal of Li Muhai. He was afraid that Li Muhai would be in trouble. He didn't know how to reveal this secret, so he couldn't help but be stunned.

Suddenly he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Who?" Shen Weichen turned around and saw a young man standing at the door holding a torch. It seemed that a stranger had broken into the town to attract attention.

Li Jingfeng shouted: "Adé, it's me!" The young man named Adé was startled: "Xiaofeng? Why are you here? You..." He realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly whispered, "You were He’s wanted, what are you doing here?”

Li Jingfeng said: "Go home and take a look. Well... is Aunt Qian okay? I have something to ask her."

Ad said: "When I entered the city, I heard that you were wanted for several hundred taels on your back, saying that you committed murder and arson. I don't think you are such a person, and where did you come from? Are you a bandit or something like that? This girl... who is this girl? Are you really going to be a horse bandit? "

There were too many questions for Li Jingfeng to answer, so he had to say: "I caused some trouble. I want to see Aunt Qian, is it convenient?"

Shen Weichen saw that Ade had a troubled expression and was obviously a little suspicious of this old neighbor. He immediately said: "He was wronged and returned to Qingcheng to surrender. It means that I am the disciple of the torture hall who detained him. I want to ask Aunt Qian something." , it’s a public office.”

Li Jingfeng couldn't help but admire Shen Weichen when he heard that he had straightened out his lie at once and saved a lot of explanations.Just listen to Ade say: "What's the inconvenience? My mother is always thinking about you, saying that you are a little honest, how can you do bad things? How much does she believe that I did the murder and arson? Are you angry?" people."

Shen Weichen looked at Li Jingfeng: "Some people are honest on the surface, but they are actually deceitful."

Li Jingfeng was speechless and could only smile bitterly.

Aunt Qian's house is only a dozen steps away.Aunt Qian was surprised and confused when she saw Li Jingfeng. Shen Weichen said that he had been wronged and wanted to ask for some clues. Li Jingfeng asked about his childhood, when his father disappeared, and his mother asked how his father died.

Aunt Qian said: "That happened more than ten years ago. I remember Brother Li, a very enthusiastic person, who worked as a nursing home for a wealthy family in the county. I don't know which family. Then one day he disappeared. , my sister-in-law said that he went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and it would take a long time before he comes back. My sister-in-law and Brother Li have a really good relationship. I couldn't help but think about Brother Li during those few days. I remember this, and even made fun of my sister-in-law."

"Later, about a month or two? I can't remember clearly. Someone came to look for my sister-in-law and stayed in the house for a long time. This Yi'an town has long been run down, and there are few passers-by on weekdays. When such a stranger came, everyone Everyone paid attention, and after he left, my sister-in-law cried, crying very sadly."

"My sister-in-law said that man was Brother Li's brother. Brother Li fell ill and died after returning to his hometown. Alas, how old was Brother Li at that time? To put it bluntly, Brother Li was really not the same. You are still so young, what's the matter? Do you have to go back to your hometown? Is it easy to travel thousands of miles? Longdi has poor mountains and rivers. No, if you are left orphaned and widowed, your life will be very difficult."

Li Jingfeng didn't know the origin, only thought it was weird. Shen Weichen had heard the confession of the barbarian spy, and thought that if this person was not Laoyan, he was sent by Laoyan, and asked: "Aunt Qian still remembers what that person looks like?"

Aunt Qian said: "More than ten years have passed, so I can't remember. But his eyes are quite small, and they have three white eyes that can't be covered by a pair of small eyes. They have more whites and fewer eyeballs. I couldn't remember them at first, but those eyes are really special. I At that time, I thought, Brother Li’s eyes are very bright, Jingfeng’s eyes are like your father’s, why are his brothers’ eyes so small?”

When the two left Aunt Qian's house, Li Jingfeng was still at a loss, but Shen Weichen knew it well and asked, "Jingfeng, are there any neighbors who moved to the town after your father died and moved away after your mother passed away?"

Li Jingfeng thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Zhou?"

Although Uncle Zhou's cabin is not as dilapidated as the Li family's, it has been abandoned for a long time.Shen Weichen held up a torch and watched Li Jingfeng rummaging through it carefully, and finally found a hidden compartment in the corner of the kitchen, which was empty.

What valuable things does a poor man living in Yi'an Town need to hide in a hidden compartment?Shen Weichen connected the causes and consequences and knew that Uncle Zhou must have been sent by Laoyan to monitor Li Jingfeng's mother and son. However, if he wanted to explain to Jingfeng, he would have to tell him about Shen Yongci's collusion with the barbarians to betray his father. Shen Weichen couldn't help but hesitate and thought about Jingfeng. The investigation will eventually continue, and there is no guarantee that the truth will be found out sooner or later.

She had just made love with Jingfeng today and was full of joy, but when she encountered this embarrassing incident, she couldn't help but blame Li Jingfeng for not checking earlier or later, but he came to check today.But he also thought that if he hadn't gone out with him today and Jingfeng was busy practicing, he wouldn't have thought of these things, and he would have caused this trouble for nothing.While she was thinking wildly, Li Jingfeng said: "I always thought I had seen the Sa statue, but I was still young at the time. Thinking about it now, if I hadn't seen it at my father's place, I might have seen it in this house."

Shen Weichen asked: "Do you often come to Uncle Zhou's house?"

Li Jingfeng said: "Yi'an Town is a small town, and neighbors often come and go. When I was a child, I would run to Uncle Zhou's house."

When the two passed by Fuju Pavilion, Shen Weichen smiled and said, "This is the place where we first met."

Li Jingfeng saw the landlady packing her things and her son greeting the three or five guests inside. It seemed that after her husband died, she took over the Fuju Pavilion.Seeing that they were living well, Li Jingfeng felt a little relieved and couldn't help but sigh: "Little sister, I never dared to dream about today."

Shen Weichen whispered: "I often dream about it."

Li Jingfeng was so moved that he took her hand on horseback and headed back to Qingcheng.Seeing that Li Jingfeng was silent for a long time, Shen Weichen said, "Still thinking about your father? Doesn't Mrs. Chu know about your father? Why didn't you ask her?"

Li Jingfeng said: "That's what I originally thought. It's just that Mrs. Chu didn't summon me, so I don't want to be rude. I heard my elder brother talk about the past a few days ago, and I've been busy practicing with my younger sister these days, so I put it aside. I should see you later in the year. Mrs. Chu.”

Shen Weichen nodded. The two of them had already returned to Qingcheng, but they were still reluctant to leave.Amao returned to the room early. Seeing their suspicious behavior and talking, he looked at them coldly. Shen Weichen had to go back first. However, Li Jingfeng returned to the room. He was dumbfounded for a while and beaming for a while. Amao asked a few questions, but his answers were inconsistent. Amao felt weird when he said this, and laughed at him, maybe he was out of his mind.

After Master Ya passed away, Shen Weichen was worried that his mother would be sad, so he stayed at Lingxiao Pavilion to accompany his mother. He came back late today and saw Mrs. Ya chatting with her second aunt in the room, so she came in to say hello.When Shen Qingge saw her coming back, he asked, "Where have you been? No one has been seen in the whole day."

Shen Weichen said with a guilty conscience: "I'm out of the city, let's go for a walk by the Chongqing River."

"With that Shen Wangzhi?" Shen Qingge raised his voice, "I helped you when Aunt Xu told you, but you really don't know what to do? What time has it been?"

When Mrs. Ya heard Shen Wangzhi's name, she woke up from a dream and looked at Shen Weichen.Just listen to Shen Qingge continue: "Did you really fall in love with the man wearing the mask? Where is this person's relative from? Who is his distant relative? Xiaoxiao, even if you don't want to marry far away, you still need to choose a capable person from your brother's family. Yes. Then why is Shen Wangzhi so polite to your brother? He just helped win a few battles, is he worthy of being so valued? "

Repeated again and again, Shen Weichen has been listening to such words since he was sensible, and has never refuted it.She knew that she would continue to listen to them and listen to them belittle Jingfeng and themselves. She could have endured it, just like she had for the past 20 years, but today she felt that she should not just listen.

"Second aunt, Qingcheng is my family, and I will do anything for this family." Shen Weichen said, his tone gentle but resolute, "But I don't have to find a man who is more capable than me to pressure me, and I don't have to Rely on a good husband to express yourself. He doesn’t need to be smarter than me, I don’t need to be taught by him, he doesn’t need to be better at martial arts than me, and I don’t need to be protected by him. My brother is one of the most powerful and wealthy people in the world, why should I do it? What do I already have, kneel down and flatter people I don’t like? Because my husband is my support, and I have to rely on them, their abilities, and their teachings, so I have to force myself to find someone to rely on in order to survive?"

The well-behaved niece who never talked back actually contradicted him. Shen Qingge opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face: "You...what are you talking about? You..."

Shen Weichen suddenly remembered what Zhu Menshang said about Tang Jueyan. She was beautiful, smart, powerful and wealthy. She didn't need to find a man to rely on, nor did she need to admire those so-called best among men. It was as if a woman needed her husband's dexterity to show off her beauty. Especially, why am I not as good as her?
"Aunt Qing, if you want to help Qingcheng, I can help myself. Is this much worse than relying on others?" She turned to Mrs. Ya and said, "Mom, in a hundred days, I want to go to Guizhou to help my fourth uncle guard Hengshan. "

Mrs. Ya's face changed drastically.

Although Shen Weichen's confrontation was gentle, it left Shen Qingge speechless and had to run to Shen Yuqing to cry.Shen Yuqing comforted him with a smile, not caring at all.Shen Qingge knew that the elder brother was the most partial and complained to Aunt Xu. Shen Weichen sent Xia Lijun to ask his eldest brother to rescue him, and was called to be punished at the same time.

Shen Yuqing came to save her sister, fought with the crowd, and argued against everyone's opinions, saying that Shen Weichen's marriage would not need to be mentioned in the future, and it would be up to Xiaoxiao herself. Even if she wanted to marry a beggar, at worst, she would not receive a bride price, and her words would only Aunt Xu was so angry that she almost fainted. She pointed at Shen Yuqing and scolded him for doting on his sister, which was extremely unfilial.

At this point, Chu Jingtan was the only one who could defeat Shen Yuqing. Aunt Xu called Mrs. Chu, and Mrs. Chu said coldly: "There are many famous people and there are many losers among them. Xiaoxiao wants to choose what she wants and let her Just pick it up with your eyes wide open. From now on, if you don't mention it, don't mention her marriage."

After such a big commotion, Shen Yuqing asked her sister: "You never contradicted me in the past. Why did you change your temper and start an argument with Aunt Qing today?"

Shen Weichen blushed and didn't answer. Shen Yuqing looked at the weird and asked, "I went out with Jingfeng yesterday. What happened?"

Shen Weichen whispered: "Jingfeng and I are committed to each other."

"What?" Shen Yuqing asked, "I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."

Shen Weichen blushed until his ears felt hot: "Jingfeng and I are committed to each other."

"Little sister, please speak louder, I didn't hear you clearly."

"Brother!" Shen Weichen screamed and reached out to grab Shen Yuqing. Shen Yuqing rode away and laughed loudly: "Did you say that you and Jingfeng were in love?"

Shen Weichen was so ashamed that he rode away. Shen Yuqing shouted: "Little sister, come back, don't leave me alone!"

Shen Weichen rode his horse and waited, and said with a smile: "I will not abandon my eldest brother." Then his face turned gloomy, "My little sister got what she wanted, but my eldest brother..."

Shen Yuqing said: "Your eldest brother has no intention of marrying Miss Yu. It is my duty to marry Miss Yu. Besides, I am the head of Qingcheng. It is not difficult for me to have three wives and four concubines. However, my younger sister can only marry one person. I am content to choose carefully." only……"

He always liked Li Jingfeng. Li Jingfeng had a blue sky above his head. Although it was dangerous, it was a place where his little sister could fly.Even though we are really together, we are also worried that one person has ambitions in all directions, while the other person has no wings and can hardly fly.

"Just what?" Shen Weichen asked.

"I'm worried that my little sister won't leave with Jingfeng for the sake of Qingcheng." Shen Yuqing said.

"I made an appointment with Jingfeng. He will come back three years after he leaves seclusion. Then he will come to help my brother and wait until the world is peaceful before making plans."

Shen Yuqing thought for a while and said, "Let's do this for now."

The two of them were about to go find Li Jingfeng, but they saw Mrs. Ya walking out of Li Jingfeng's residence with red eyes, and they couldn't help but be confused.When Mrs. Ya saw Shen Yuqing, she avoided him like a tiger and took a detour. Shen Weichen only said that his mother was embarrassing Jingfeng, so he entered the room and asked, "Jingfeng, what did my mother say?"

Li Jingfeng said: "Mrs. Ya asked me if my name was Li Jingfeng, and brought out a beautiful box with many jewelry..." He was a little at a loss, "Mrs. Ya asked me to take you away from Qingcheng, the farther away the better, The sooner the better.”

Her mother had always wanted to find a well-matched aristocratic family. She expected to look down on Li Jingfeng and said she had nothing good to say, but she actually wanted Li Jingfeng to take her away... Shen Weichen asked, "What did you say?"

Li Jingfeng hesitated and said, "It depends on my little sister whether she wants to stay or go. I can't force it. Mrs. Ya..." He glanced at Shen Yuqing who was standing at the door and said hesitantly, "Mrs. Ya is a little afraid of my second brother. I don’t know how to persuade her.”

Shen Weichen knew that Li Jingfeng's words were reserved and that his mother must have said a lot of bad things about Shen Yuqing. When he turned around, he heard Shen Yuqing sigh softly and said, "Little sister, I'm going back to Juntian Palace."

Shen Weichen took a step forward, held his brother's hand and said, "I will persuade my mother well."

Shen Yuqing just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, take your time."

■

Mrs. Ya returned to Lingxiao Pavilion in a daze. Shen Qingge had been waiting inside. When she saw her sister-in-law coming back with a red sandalwood box, she felt embarrassed and blamed Mrs. Ya for not disciplining her daughter well.Mrs. Ya put the wooden box on the table and sat there in a daze, silently. Shen Qingge asked suspiciously: "Brother and sister, what are you doing with the makeup box?"

"I'm going to find that Shen Wangzhi." Mrs. Ya burst into tears, "I asked him to take Xiaoxiao away, why did he just refuse..."

"Are you crazy!" Shen Qingge shouted, "You actually want Xiaoxiao to marry a distant relative of unknown origin?"

After returning to Qingcheng, Shen Qingge saw Mrs. Ya in a panic all day long, and Shen Yayan was even more in a daze after her death.Shen Qingge had the most irritable and arrogant temperament. He couldn't stand Mrs. Ya's lost look. He grabbed Mrs. Ya's shoulders and shook her, saying: "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother passed away, and the whole family is sad, but you can't be so confused all day long. You have to fight." Cheer up. Look, what has become of Xiaoxiao?"

"Xiao Xiao...Xiao Xiao!" Mrs. Ya suddenly woke up and shouted, "Can you help me persuade Xiao Xiao? She won't listen to anything my mother says... You tell her to run away, run away!"

"Why are you running away?" Shen Qingge raised his voice, "The eldest brother is not here and the third brother is sick again. This family needs help. Sister-in-law, don't be confused anymore!"

"I'm not confused, you are confused, you are all confused!" Mrs. Ya stood up, "You don't know anything! Yu'er wants to harm Xiaoxiao, he will one day harm Xiaoxiao, why don't you help me!"

"Yu'er is really good at hurting Xiaoxiao, and it also makes her unable to marry!" Shen Qingge said angrily, "You've spoiled Xiaoxiao! Sister-in-law, wake up, please advise Yu'er not to spoil Xiaoxiao! "

Mrs. Ya stamped her feet and cried: "The Grand Master is not crazy at all. It was Yu'er who usurped the throne and put his father under house arrest! His mother was also an accomplice, as were Mr. Xie and Dr. Zhu! Yayan was also killed by them. They killed him!"

"What did you say?" Shen Qingge was shocked.

"No, no, I don't know anything!" Mrs. Ya held her head, trembling all over, and couldn't help crying.
