There is a home in the depths of silence

Chapter 3 Pei Yun
The days to come went much smoother. Qu Linyuan asked Yuan Feifei if he wanted to learn poetry and classics too. Yuan Feifei said that she would not recite those nonsense things. Qu Linyuan did not force her, but told her to listen as long as she wanted .

And the students in the academy had a good time with Yuan Feifei.

Although Yuan Feifei is not very old, but following Ma Banxian for so long, his vision and flirtatious heart are much better than those of these young masters who have never been in Qishui City. It is easy to tell a few short jokes, play with both hands, and easily mingle with the classmates.Ah, if there is something unsatisfactory, it is Pei Yun, the third son of Jinlou.

Yuan Feifei felt that he couldn't understand him at all, this person was very strange.

On the first day she came to the academy, she deliberately wanted to scare Pei Yun.After all, Pei Yun knew that she was a daughter, if he said it out loud, it would definitely bring trouble to Zhang Ping.Now she feels that Pei Yun should not talk nonsense anymore, but she doesn't feel that she is intimidated by herself.

Pei Yun was still sitting in the front row, and there was no one around.He won't talk to anyone, and no one will come to him to play.Yuan Feifei didn't pay much attention to him after knowing that he wouldn't talk nonsense.She is also a child, so she naturally likes those lively people.

The academy has always been the same. Qu Linyuan is usually very lazy, drinking tea and taking walks, leisurely all day long, and only when it comes to lectures does he lift his spirits.

And after finishing the study, the schoolchildren would still get together to play together. Every time when hitting stones, Yuan Feifei always hit the mark with every shot. Later, Zhang Yu said to her: "Yuan Fei, do you know that because of you, we all dare not bet on valuables?" something."

Yuan Feifei smiled and said, "Where did it come from?"

Zhang Yudao: "However, your skill is really good. You have only been here for a few days, and you have won so many things."

Yuan Feifei waved his hand.

At this time, several other schoolchildren gathered around, looked at Yuan Feifei, and said, "Yuan Fei, you can play a round at any time, let us have a look."

Yuan Feifei blinked, "Huh?"

The schoolboy said: "It's your turn soon." Everyone laughed in agreement: "You have to prepare something for us, otherwise we will die."

Yuan Feifei pursed her lips and let out a barely audible "huh".She almost forgot that this came in turn!

When they broke up that day, Yuan Feifei didn't leave in a hurry, and rolled his eyes while sitting on the cattail mat, thinking about what to get to deal with it.

"you……"

"Huh?" Yuan Feifei turned his head when he heard the voice.

Pei Yun stood at the entrance of the main hall, Yuan Feifei frowned and said, "Why are you turning back?" She looked at him with a smirk on her face, "Why, I haven't read enough during the day, so I have to come back and read for a while?"

Pei Yun frowned and looked at her.

Yuan Feifei went on to say, "Do you know that listening to you recite is really painful."

Pei Yun paused, hesitated and said, "Why?"

Yuan Feifei looked at him as it should be, and said: "Keep reading and reading, like an old monk chanting scriptures, if you don't know, I will prepare a wooden fish for you, and you can use it in class."

Pei Yun's face flushed again, and he said vigorously: "Reciting...that's the way to recite classics, it's wrong to randomly ups and downs."

Yuan Feifei picked his ears, pretending he didn't hear.

Pei Yun also knew that she couldn't explain clearly to Yuan Feifei, so he put both hands by his sides and held them tightly.

Yuan Feifei waited for a while, then turned his head and said with disgust, "Why don't you leave?"

Pei Yun seemed to have made a great determination, and suddenly said to Yuan Feifei: "In a few days, what are you going to suppress?"

Yuan Feifei: "What?"

Pei Yun: "The one with Zhang Yu and the others, isn't it your turn? You should press something too."

Yuan Feifei raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you not playing with us? Why are you meddling in your own business again?"

Pei Yun pursed her lips, "I don't mind my own business."

Yuan Feifei didn't bother to talk to him, so he waved his hands and said, "Go, go, hurry up."

Being chased away by her like this, Pei Yun resisted not moving, and said in a low voice, "You...are you upset?"

"Ha——" Yuan Feifei was overjoyed, and turned his head to look at him with raised eyebrows, "What did you say?"

Pei Yun saw those bright eyes, revealing an indescribable viciousness all the time.He suddenly thought of the bird in the backyard of the academy inexplicably. Although it was thin and small, it still lived happily even though most of the birds were gone in winter.

Pei Yun took a deep breath and said, "I... I'll prepare it for you."

Yuan Feifei froze for a moment, twisted his neck, and said, "What did you say?"

The most important thing was said, and the rest of Pei Yun's speech became much smoother, "In a few days, I will prepare something for you to suppress."

Yuan Feifei raised his arms and looked at him without speaking.

Pei Yun felt a little nervous, and said, "Don't worry, I won't mess around." After speaking, he added, "The things will not be shabby, and I will definitely not make people laugh at you."

Yuan Feifei still didn't answer, Pei Yun didn't know what to say anymore.

After a long silence, Yuan Feifei stood up.

Pei Yun looked at her without blinking.

Yuan Feifei walked towards the door with a calm expression. When passing by Pei Yun, he casually said, "It has nothing to do with you."

The four words were spoken lightly, and then lightly fell into Pei Yun's ears.It wasn't until Yuan Feifei left for a long time, when her own servant came in to look for him, that Pei Yun realized that her hands and feet were already icy cold.

Holding the teapot in his hand, Zhang Ping sat on the steps in front of the house to rest.He had been looking at Yuan Feifei, whose head was stuck in the pile of scrap metal in the corner of the yard, for a while.

Since Yuan Feifei came back from the academy today, he only ate a casual meal, then ran to the pile of scrap iron to rummage around, even Zhang Ping couldn't pull it back.

He patted Yuan Feifei on the shoulder, wanting to know what was going on with her, but Yuan Feifei didn't tell him.

"It's okay, I'm bloated, move around."

Yuan Feifei was bouncing around in the iron pile, Zhang Ping looked interesting, and forgot to go back to the iron room to forge iron.

There was a lot of scrap iron piled up in the yard, most of which were broken iron pots and agricultural tools, and there were also some strange objects that Yuan Feifei couldn't name.

Yuan Feifei originally wanted to find something here, and when it was her turn to press things, she would make up the numbers.As a result, I searched and found a lot of novel gadgets. Later, I completely forgot my original intention and had fun playing in the scrap iron pile.

Zhang Ping rolled up his front sleeves, picked up the teapot and poured a drink to his mouth, listening to the clanging sounds in the yard, he didn't feel noisy.Later, when he was tired from sitting, he stretched out his legs and leaned casually against the wall behind him.

Yuan Feifei ran over carrying something, because of the iron dust, her face and hands were dirty.She ran to Zhang Ping and raised the thing in her hand high, "Master! What is this!?"

Zhang Ping took a look and shook his head.

Yuan Feifei stared wide-eyed, "You don't know either?"

Zhang Ping nodded.

"You don't even know what you're hitting yourself."

Zhang Ping pointed to his head, then waved his hand.

Yuan Feifei thought for a while and said, "You forgot?"

Zhang Ping nodded.

Yuan Feifei pursed his lips, and looked at the iron object in his hand over and over again.

In fact, it was normal that Zhang Ping couldn't think of what it was, because the iron object hadn't been formed at all, and it was just a piece of iron sheet, but it was evenly thick and smooth to the touch, so Yuan Feifei picked it up specially.

Zhang Ping looked at it, then suddenly retracted his legs, straightened up, reached out and took the iron sheet from Yuan Feifei's hand.

Yuan Feifei said: "Have you remembered?"

Zhang Ping shook his head, took the iron sheet in his hand, looked left and right, and then broke it.

Yuan Feifei opened his big eyes, watching without blinking.

Zhang Ping's fingers were rough and strong, and the originally hard and sharp iron sheet was like brown candy in his hand, bending it casually.

"Wow..." Yuan Feifei looked dumbfounded.

Slowly, the iron skin gradually showed some shape, Yuan Feifei pointed at it, and shouted: "Rabbit!"

Zhang Ping smiled, nodded, and continued.Yuan Feifei jumped up and down beside Zhang Ping happily, and after a while, Zhang Ping handed the iron sheet to Yuan Feifei.

This is also the first time for Zhang Ping to play with this. This rabbit is as different as it is, thanks to Yuan Feifei who can recognize it.

Yuan Feifei held up the rabbit and screamed excitedly.

"Master, you are amazing!" Her eyes seemed to be on fire.

Zhang Ping gently rubbed Yuan Feifei's head.

Yuan Feifei said: "Master, make me another one!"

Zhang Ping nodded, put the teapot aside, stood up, and dragged Yuan Feifei to the blacksmith room.

There was still heat from the iron furnace in the blacksmithing room, so Zhang Ping opened up the clothes on his chest, picked up some iron sheets from the table, and called Yuan Feifei over.

Yuan Feifei stood next to Zhang Ping, and was so excited that he patted the table, "Master, hurry up!"

Zhang Ping took an iron sheet, sat on the stool, and looked at Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei immediately understood what he meant, "Are you asking what I do?"

Zhang Ping nodded.

Yuan Feifei said without hesitation, "Dragon!"

Zhang Ping paused, raised his eyes slightly, as if thinking about the image of the dragon.After a while, he shook his head weakly at Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei: "Can't do it?"

Zhang Ping nodded.

"Ah..." Yuan Feifei scratched his eyebrows and said, "It's a bit difficult to be a dragon, so you can be a wolf or a mouse!"

Zhang Ping looked at Yuan Feifei with some doubts.Girls in other people's families like beautiful things like rabbits and butterflies, but Yuan Feifei likes wolves or mice, or unicorns and phoenixes.

Zhang Ping was obviously quite proficient when he was the second one. He broke off a little wolf and handed it to Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei likes it very much.

When she was playing with it, Zhang Ping dipped his hand in the basin beside him, drew a butterfly on the table, then patted Yuan Feifei on the shoulder, and pointed it out to her.

Yuan Feifei hadn't reacted yet, "Huh?"

Zhang Ping sighed, reached out and turned her little head around, making her look at the table.Only then did Yuan Feifei see the butterfly on the table.

"Sir, are you going to make this for me?"

Zhang Ping nodded.

Yuan Feifei let out an "oh" out of interest.

Zhang Ping looked at her carefully, Yuan Feifei noticed Zhang Ping's gaze, coughed, and said, "I don't like this."

Zhang Ping looked at her suspiciously.

Yuan Feifei said: "I don't even like rabbits and butterflies. They are soft and don't live long."

Yuan Feifei likes dragons the most, because they follow horses and demigods.Ma Banxian told Yuan Feifei that the dragon is the most powerful, omnipotent in heaven and earth, and will not die if he doesn't eat, so he can do whatever he wants.Common people were not allowed to wear dragon clothes, but Ma Banxian liked dragons very much, so he entrusted his friend from the brothel to embroider one on his underwear.

Yuan Feifei saw it once when he was four years old.Although the position is a bit indecent, Yuan Feifei still fell in love with the crooked dragon embroidered like an earthworm at a glance.She doesn't care if it looks good or not, she just knows that the dragon is the best.

Later, she fell in love with wolves, bears, and even mice, all for various reasons, but they couldn't get rid of the word "live".

Yuan Feifei briefly talked to Zhang Ping.

"That's it... If you like these things, the donkey stick and I may not live long. Master, you can make me another one." Seeing that there were not a few iron sheets left, Yuan Feifei was really reluctant.

After listening to Yuan Feifei's words calmly, Zhang Ping lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Yuan Feifei was a little guilty, thinking, does Zhang Ping like butterflies so much?She glanced at Zhang Ping from top to bottom.

Because the clothes were open, half of Zhang Ping's chest was exposed, coupled with the rolled up sleeves and the exposed strong forearms, the whole person looked low and solid.

Yuan Feifei recalled Ma Banxian's body of white meat... even a pork body like a donkey's stick can like dragons, Zhang Ping... Zhang Ping has no reason to like butterflies...

While Yuan Feifei was still thinking wildly, Zhang Ping had already raised his hand and wiped the butterfly pattern on the table clean with one hand.

Yuan Feifei was taken aback.

Zhang Ping pulled Yuan Feifei to his side.

His hand gestures fluttered, and Yuan Feifei couldn't see it with his eyeballs rolling around, "Master, master, draw slowly, slow down."

After Zhang Ping compared the painting for a while, he also realized that Yuan Feifei didn't understand at all. He sighed deeply, and put his big hand on Yuan Feifei's head.

Yuan Feifei shrank her neck from the pressure, "Master, are you angry? Why don't you just be a butterfly..."

Zhang Ping shook his head, took his hand away, and fiddled with the remaining few iron sheets.After a while, he finished all the wolves, bears, and mice that Yuan Feifei wanted.

Yuan Feifei laughed from ear to ear.

She took everything in her arms and ran back to the house.

Zhang Ping looked at her back, then casually glanced at the table.

The original rabbit was abandoned by her without hesitation.Although this girl is young, she has already seen through her likes and dislikes, laughing and cursing, she has become a cold and open-minded person.

Not bad, though.

Zhang Ping smiled at the little rabbit, picked it up, and threw it into the iron stove.

That night, Yuan Feifei squeezed to Zhang Ping's side and whispered in his ear: "Master, can I take these things to play in the academy?"

Zhang Ping nodded.

Yuan Feifei got Zhang Ping's permission and lay down in peace.

It was late at night, Yuan Feifei rolled around on the bed, turned over after a while, finally Zhang Ping simply sat up, and lifted Yuan Feifei in front of him with one hand.

Yuan Feifei twisted and twisted, and finally said: "No, I still don't take it!" After finishing speaking, her head fell and she was about to go back to sleep.

Zhang Ping was troubled by her for a long time, and he would not let her go so easily, he carried Yuan Feifei back to his original position, and looked at her with a slight frown.

Yuan Feifei coughed twice, and whispered: "Master, I originally wanted to take those gadgets to the college to bet, but now I don't want to."

Zhang Ping didn't understand and shook his head.

Yuan Feifei explained: "It's the one I told you about a few days ago." She even said and gestured, "I even won an ink stick! Did you forget?"

Zhang Ping nodded slightly.

Yuan Feifei yelled, "My lord, why can't you remember anything!"

Zhang Ping held her down and patted his chest, meaning he remembered.

"Oh." Yuan Feifei said, "That's the one. It will be my turn in a few days, and I have to bring something with me." She tilted her neck and said lazily, "I wouldn't have smashed so many candy cakes if I knew it."

Zhang calmed down for a while, then patted Yuan Feifei and told her to lie down.

After Yuan Feifei fell down, he soon fell asleep.

On the second day, Yuan Feifei went to the academy with a little wolf in his arms.

She only learns characters and doesn't read books, so she is free to play while Qu Linyuan is lecturing.

Zhang Yu saw it first, and taking advantage of Qu Linyuan's inattention, poked his head over and said in a low voice, "Yuan Fei, what are you holding?"

Yuan Feifei glanced at him and showed him the little wolf.

Although it looked insignificant, Zhang Yu had never seen this kind of iron thing before, so he felt itchy for a moment, and said, "Show me."

Yuan Feifei shook his head.

Zhang Yu couldn't bear it, and poked forward again, "Brother, show me, I'll bring you vinegar and sugar cake tomorrow." Zhang Yu knew that Yuan Feifei liked this.Every time she throws a stone, she must throw it if there is a candy.

Yuan Feifei squinted at him.

Zhang Yu hummed, "Show me quickly."

At this time, Qu Linyuan in front turned around, just in time to see Zhang Yu who was crooked.

"Zhang Yu."

Zhang Yu's face turned pale, and he lowered his head.

Qu Linyuan raised his eyes and glared at Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei stared back without showing any weakness.

Qu Linyuan: "..." He shook his head and turned around to continue speaking, with a smile on his lips.

After leaving the hall, Zhang Yu was left alone by Qu Linyuan to endorse, and Yuan Feifei waved at him gracefully and left.

On the way back, Yuan Feifei always felt that something was wrong.She slowed down, walked around the stalls on the street, and finally found the little man following her.

Yuan Feifei rolled his eyes.

It wasn't late, and there were quite a few people on the street, but the white padded jacket was really dazzling.Yuan Feifei didn't even have to turn around to recognize who it was.

Yuan Feifei rolled his eyes and turned a corner.

Pei Yun didn't know why, so she stood up from behind and followed Yuan Feifei cautiously into the dark alley.

dark alley...

As soon as he turned around, a hand quickly came out of the darkness and grabbed his neck.Pei Yun was so frightened that she even forgot to scream.

The person holding him down was standing behind him, with his elbow firmly stuck in his throat. Pei Yun's legs were trembling, and her hand was tremblingly clasped on the arm in front of her, unable to exert any strength.

In the blink of an eye, a few tears fell down.

The people behind felt something, and laughed in a low voice, "Hey, I can't even hide, and I dare to come out to follow others, do you think I'm blind?"

While trembling, Pei Yun did not forget to be in a daze. Although the voice behind him was deliberately lowered, he still recognized that it was Yuan Feifei's voice.After distinguishing it, all the fear in his body turned into shame and anger, and he struggled to get out of Yuan Feifei's hand.

In fact, Yuan Feifei didn't have much strength, once Pei Yun was no longer afraid, she could easily get away.

He turned his head angrily, staring at Yuan Feifei who was standing in the corner.

Yuan Feifei rolled up his sleeves halfway, put his hands on his waist lightly, and looked at Pei Yun frankly.

Pei Yun said angrily: "How... how can you be so scary!"

Yuan Feifei picked his ears and didn't speak.

Pei Yun: "You are simply a trick of the market, you...you..."

"Hey," Yuan Feifei laughed and said, "It turns out that it is fair and aboveboard to follow secretly."

Pei Yun blushed, and her voice could not help but lowered a bit, "I didn't..."

Yuan Feifei glared at him, "How dare you deny that you were caught by me?!"

Pei Yun lowered her head slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said: "It is true that I made the mistake first, and I admit it to you." After finishing speaking, he arched his hands and bowed down to Yuan Feifei to apologize seriously.

Yuan Feifei: "..."

"Forget it." Yuan Feifei stood up from the corner, and Pei Yun quickly took a few steps back.Yuan Feifei looked amused, and said, "Why are you retreating, afraid that I will beat you?"

Pei Yun stammered, "No...no."

"Tch." Yuan Feifei looked at Pei Yun with a half-smile, "Crying Baozi, you are really promising."

Pei Yun knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she just kept her head down and said nothing.

Yuan Feifei said: "Why are you following me?"

Only then did Pei Yun think of something, looked up at Yuan Feifei, and said, "I brought you something."

Yuan Feifei asked strangely, "What?"

Pei Yun took out a small package from her arms and handed it to Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei took it and took it apart.Inside the package was a small exquisite blue box with engraved patterns. When the box was opened, there were square white jade neatly placed inside.Yuan Feifei doesn't understand jade, but looking at the crystal clear and milky white jade, she also finds it exquisite and lovely.

"Huh? What is this?"

Pei Yun said in a low voice, "These are some pieces of white jade from Mount Wu."

Yuan Feifei took out a piece and put it in his hand to play with. The white jade looked hard, but it was soft to the touch, smooth and delicate, and it felt very good.

Pei Yun took a peek at Yuan Feifei's expression, and whispered, "You, do you like it?"

Yuan Feifei: "What is this for?"

Pei Yun said: "Wushan white jade is the best material for seal cutting." He thought for a while, and then said to Yuan Feifei, "All the students in the academy like this..."

"Oh?" Yuan Feifei heard something and squinted his eyes.As soon as Pei Yun looked at her, she immediately lowered her head.Yuan Feifei walked up to him and said, "You want to give me this, and then bet on it?"

Pei Yun's voice seemed to be a little nervous, "I know you don't like my meddling, but... But when you rescued me back then, I should repay you."

"Relief?" Yuan Feifei rolled his eyes and said, "You mean the day I threw a stone for the first time?"

Pei Yun nodded.

Yuan Feifei crossed her arms, looked at Pei Yun, and thought for a while.

Pei Yun didn't dare to vent her anger.

After a while, Yuan Feifei suddenly said, "How much is this worth?"

Pei Yun raised her head in surprise, and said, "If it's sold in Yubao Pavilion, it's about 70 taels a piece." Afraid that Yuan Feifei would not accept it, Pei Yun added, "But these are all original jades that haven't been carved. Not worth that much money."

Yuan Feifei's fingers were flexible, and the small box twirled on her fingertips, "Crying Baozi, is this your thank you gift?"

Pei Yun gave a low "hmm".

Yuan Feifei nodded, turned his wrist, and clasped the small box in his palm, "Okay, I'll take it."

Pei Yun raised her head, with a hint of joy in her eyes, "Really?"

Yuan Feifei: "Ah."

Pei Yun: "That's good... I was worried..."

Yuan Feifei threw away the cloth, put the small box in his belt, waved at Pei Yun, and said, "I'm leaving."

Pei Yun only spoke halfway, and raised her head in astonishment, "You..." When he was in a daze, Yuan Feifei had already walked a long way.

The cool breeze brought her crisp voice, "Next time, don't wear this with others, it looks like a white steamed bun, no one can see it."

"..." Pei Yun looked down at her moon white padded jacket, and blushed again.

He stood alone for a long time, and a person came up silently behind him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's getting dark, it's time to go back."

Pei Yun gave a "hmm" and turned to leave.

Yuan Feifei made a lot of money, he was in a good mood, and the pace of going home was much faster than usual.

Even so, it was still late when they got home, and Yuan Feifei saw Zhang Ping standing at the gate of the yard when he was far away.

She went up to greet her, "Master!"

When Zhang Ping saw her, he put his hand on her head and exerted a little force.

Yuan Feifei covered her head and shouted: "Oh, oh, it's a little late, don't be angry!"

Zhang Ping was not angry at all, and led Yuan Feifei back to the house. Yuan Feifei saw the small objects on the table as soon as he entered the house.

There were several cast iron objects, including bears, wolves, and little figures in various poses.Different from the previous iron sheets, these ones are made of molten iron this time, which are strong and stable, and heavy to hold in the hand.Although it is made of iron, there are many patterns carved on it with hard knives. Whether it is animals such as wolves or tigers, or villains, they are all refurbished and lifelike.

Yuan Feifei threw himself on the table and yelled, "Master!"

Zhang Ping pulled her over and made some gestures for her. Yuan Feifei just stared at the table without looking at Zhang Ping.In the end, Zhang Ping was helpless, and with a wave of his arm, he pulled all the things on the table to the bed.

Yuan Feifei wanted to pounce on the bed again.

Zhang Ping carried her in front of him, made a gesture of flipping the book, pointed to the bed, and then pointed to the outside.

Yuan Feifei realized instantly, "You want me to take it to the academy for betting?"

Zhang Ping nodded.

"Ah..." Yuan Feifei rubbed her chin, thinking what happened today, not long ago she was still worrying about what to make, and today there are so many good things delivered to her door.She looked at Zhang Ping with a smile, "Okay, that's it!"

Only then did Zhang Ping let go of her and went to prepare meals.

Yuan Feifei jumped onto the bed, arranged a few small things in a row, and finally took out the small box from his waist and put it at the end.Then she straightened up and squinted to look at each one.

After looking at it for a while, she picked up the box of jade.

Under the night, Yuan Feifei's eyes were cold. "70 taels..." She twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's enough to buy dozens of me." She rolled over and got out of bed, opened the wooden box in the corner, and put the box of jade under her selling money.

When he sat back on the table again, Zhang Ping came in with food.

Yuan Feifei was so hungry that he grabbed a bowl and started to eat.

Because he was in a good mood, after eating, Yuan Feifei brought paper and spread it on the table, "Master, I'll write for you!"

Zhang Ping nodded.

Although Yuan Feifei won a lot of ink before, when they were at home, both Zhang Ping and Yuan Feifei liked to write with charcoal, and their hands were black every time they finished writing.

Zhang Ping brewed a pot of tea without using a teacup or bowl, and just covered the entire teapot with one big hand.He watched Yuan Feifei write while drinking.

Yuan Feifei wrote a few, and handed the charcoal to Zhang Ping, "Master, you write too!"

Zhang Ping took it and wrote a few words on the paper.

Yuan Feifei looked at it, and cocked his mouth, "My lord, your handwriting is really ugly."

"..."

Yuan Feifei looked at Zhang Ping with wide eyes, "Look at the three words Yuan Feifei, they are all in a ball!"

Zhang Ping smiled and leaned back, looking relaxed.

Yuan Feifei turned his head, wrote his name again next to what Zhang Ping wrote, then picked it up, and handed it to Zhang Ping with a proud face.

Zhang Ping took it and added a few more words below.

Yuan Feifei went over to look, but didn't recognize it.

"...Son, what is it?" Yuan Feifei grabbed Zhang Ping's knee, "Master, what are you writing?"

Zhang Ping drank tea by himself, pretending he didn't hear him.

Yuan Feifei grabbed the paper and almost saw a hole in the paper, but she didn't recognize it or didn't recognize it, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see it. "Master, what did you write?" Yuan Feifei circled around Zhang Ping, "What did you write? Show me a picture and let me guess."

No matter what Yuan Feifei said, Zhang Ping just didn't respond. Later, Yuan Feifei got tired of making trouble, and Zhang Ping hugged her to the bed.

In the dream, Yuan Feifei was also asking...

Early the next morning, Yuan Feifei happily ran to the academy, Zhang Ping took her to eat, and Yuan Feifei took half a steamed bun, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat!"

Zhang Ping had no choice but to turn around and close the door, keeping Yuan Feifei in the room.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Feifei, like Loach, pushed open the window the moment Zhang Ping closed the door, and got out in one go.

After going out, she still shouted proudly in the yard: "You want to lock me up? You can't lock me up with a donkey stick! Haha!"

She ran fast. Behind her, Zhang Ping leaned against the door with folded arms, watching Yuan Feifei's small figure gradually disappear.

The sun is shining.

The reason why Yuan Feifei ran so fast was because he was afraid that he would forget it when it was too late.That's right, she still remembers those words from last night.

Yuan Feifei had a good mind and memorized all the words.When she ran to the academy, it was not time for classes to start, and there were not many school boys who came, but the person who was always the first to come to the academy had already sat on the mat and endorsed the book early.

Yuan Feifei rushed over without stopping.

Pei Yun was taken aback.

"You... why did you come so early today?" Pei Yun's face was still a little red when thinking about what happened last night.He didn't even know that he had the courage to follow Yuan Feifei.Fortunately, she accepted her own things.

"Crying Baozi, I'll give you a few words, and you can read them for me!" Yuan Feifei didn't bother to polish the ink, so he licked his fingers with his tongue and started to write on the table.

Pei Yun was stunned, "How do you... use your mouth..."

Yuan Feifei ignored him, concentrated on writing the words, and then patted the table, "Come on, look, how do you read these?"

Pei Yun looked down, and then looked up at Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei: "What word."

Pei Yun's voice was a little low, "Who told you this?"

Yuan Feifei frowned, "It has nothing to do with you, just say what you wrote."

Pei Yun said "Oh".

Yuan Feifei waited, but before he said anything, he became impatient.She stood up, "I'm going to find Zhang Yu."

"I'll tell you!" Pei Yun hurriedly grabbed Yuan Feifei.

"Go ahead."

Pei Yun lowered her head and said intermittently: "It says 'Little girl, hello... ok...'"

Yuan Feifei had to put his ear to Pei Yun's mouth to hear what he said clearly.

Yuan Feifei recalled last night when she joked that Zhang Ping's handwriting was ugly. At that time, Zhang Ping was holding the teapot with one hand, leaning his back against the wall with a lazy smile, and wrote these words, little girl, you are so brave.

Yuan Feifei suddenly burst out laughing without warning.Pei Yun looked at her inexplicably, wondering why Yuan Feifei suddenly laughed.

The quiet academy in winter made Yuan Feifei's smile extraordinarily hearty.

Pei Yun sat on a small cattail mat, looking at Yuan Feifei who was smiling happily.

She smiled for a while, then turned her head around, looked at him with raised eyebrows and said, "What do you always look at me for?"

Pei Yun was a little flustered when she asked her suddenly, "I... I didn't look at you..."

Yuan Feifei squatted beside him, "Hey, why do you always seem to be dying."

Pei Yun: "Huh?"

Yuan Feifei: "Listening to you speaks like you're dying."

Pei Yun pursed her lips and raised her voice, "Who died..."

"You." Yuan Feifei said expressionlessly.

Pei Yun: "..."

Yuan Feifei stared at Pei Yun coldly for a while, then stood up, patted his clothes and walked back to his seat.

There was no one in the study hall now, Pei Yun was sitting in front of the desk with the slips in his hands, he could feel Yuan Feifei's movements behind him, and he could also think of Yuan Feifei lying on the table half asleep and half awake.

The morning light came in from outside the hall, and drew a gentle line on the ground, which moved forward bit by bit with the warm smoke from the brazier.

Pei Yun felt that the slips in her hands seemed to become lighter at this moment.

On the day when it was Yuan Feifei's turn to bet, Pei Yun came very early.He was out of his mind that whole day, thinking about those pieces of Wushan white jade.

He thought for a long time about what to prepare, and finally the head housekeeper gave him the idea to prepare the white jade for engraving the seal.

Where did she put the jade?Pei Yun was a little annoyed that she was sitting at the front, and he didn't dare to look back, if Yuan Feifei caught him, he would be scared to death.

Contrary to Pei Yun, Yuan Feifei was as usual.

"Yuan Fei, what did you bring?" Taking advantage of Qu Linyuan's absence, Zhang Yu leaned over to talk to Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei glanced at him and said, "Little thing."

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "How small is it, let me see?"

Yuan Feifei said "hehe" twice, and said, "What? Last time I was punished for memorizing the books for so long, I don't have any memory at all."

Zhang Yu recalled the incident of being caught by Qu Linyuan before, and he was still a little scared, so he poked his neck and said, "Now Mr. is not here, what are you afraid of?" Then he remembered something, and said, "By the way, that little thing last time I haven't seen it yet! You haven't brought it again."

Yuan Feifei scratched his scalp.

Zhang Yu said dissatisfiedly, "Yuan Fei, you are so stingy."

"Hey!" Yuan Feifei turned to stare at him, "Who is stingy?"

Zhang Yu said fearlessly: "Why don't you show it to everyone if you are not stingy? It's boring to hide all the good things."

Yuan Feifei snorted twice, stretched out a finger to Zhang Yu, and bent it.

Zhang Yu: "Are you teasing a dog?"

Yuan Feifei: "Are you coming or not? If you don't come, I won't show it to you."

Zhang Yu poked his head, "What are you looking at?"

Yuan Feifei took out a small package from under the table and spread it out on the table.

Zhang Yu leaned over. "Huh?" He suddenly saw the cast iron figures wrapped in gray cloth, he had never seen these things before, and he called out out of novelty for a moment.

The surrounding schoolchildren heard it and gathered around one after another.

"what is this?"

"Wow, the carving is so detailed, where did you buy it?"

"Is this a bear? It really is."

"..."

You squeeze me, everyone, Yuan Feifei's little head was bumped back and forth like glutinous rice balls in a pot.

Pei Yun sat in front, holding the letter tightly with her fingers, and listened intently to the voice behind.

Yuan Feifei roared, "Get out of the way!"

A group of people clattered out of a circle.Yuan Feifei snatched all the iron tools from other people's hands back in twos and twos.

"Yuan Fei, show us, it's going to be suppressed anyway."

Yuan Feifei crossed his calf and said, "Then throw it according to your ability, and I'll give it to you when you throw it."

"Okay."

Everyone was laughing and chatting for a while, and then dispersed.

Only Pei Yun was still sitting on the mat like a rock.What are they talking about?Pei Yun just heard a clear voice, it's not jade.

Pei Yun fidgeted and waited until the end of the hall. Everyone rushed to the backyard. He didn't dare to follow too closely, so he had to wait for everyone to leave before getting up.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to go out, a voice came from behind, "Pei'er."

Pei Yun was startled, and subconsciously turned around, only to see Qu Linyuan walking out of the inner hall.

Pei Yun bowed respectfully and said, "Sir."

Qu Linyuan returned to the desk in the main hall, took the half pot of tea that he had not finished just now, and half-jokingly said: "What are you doing? Sneaky."

Pei Yun frowned, too nervous to speak.

Qu Linyuan was teasing him, but now he could see something was wrong. He walked over and patted Pei Yun on the shoulder, "Is there anything I can't tell you, sir?"

Pei Yun's delicate eyebrows were tightly knit together, and her face was flushed red.

Qu Linyuan smiled and said, "Could it be because of that powerful girl?"

Pei Yun didn't expect him to guess it all at once, and her whole body trembled violently.

Qu Linyuan shook his head pretending to be disappointed, and sighed, "Oh... Pei Er, Pei Er, you really broke my heart."

Pei Yun raised her eyes, "Sir..."

Qu Linyuan took a sip of tea, and continued: "You used to be so sensible and thought of everything for your husband, but now it's better, you keep everything from me."

Pei Yun blushed, "The student knows his mistake."

Qu Linyuan walked over and patted Pei Yun's head, "Come on, let's go and have a look together."

On the other hand, the backyard is in full swing.

"Get out of the way, it's my turn!"

"You can't hit it, what are you doing in the position?"

"How do you know I can't hit..."

"..."

Yuan Feifei sat in the back, leaning against the wooden railing of the dusty courtyard, watching the lively crowd in front of him without interest.

Zhang Yu approached her and said, "Yuan Fei, why don't you go there?"

Yuan Feifei held a dead branch in his hand, and grabbed the leaf every now and then.

"What did I do in the past, you can smash yours."

Zhang Yu blinked and said, "Are you upset?"

Yuan Feifei glanced at him, "Why am I unhappy?"

Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know, I just feel that you are unhappy."

Yuan Feifei kicked him from a long distance, and said: "Go, feel something, if you don't wait, everything will be robbed."

Zhang Yuguo was really worried about those novel gadgets, so he dropped Yuan Feifei and ran back.

"Tch." Yuan Feifei sneered disdainfully. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the small package on the side, inside which were lying quietly the four iron tools that had been pressed down today. Yuan Feifei turned his eyes away and did not look at them.

"Crack!" With a crisp voice, Yuan Feifei raised his head impressively.

"Wow, it's smashed, it's smashed! The little wolf is mine, it's mine!" A schoolboy exclaimed excitedly.

Yuan Feifei threw the branch in his hand to the ground, stepped on it and broke it, then got up and took out the little iron wolf from the package, ready to hand it to the schoolboy.

"Yo, what are you guys doing?"

Without warning, a voice came.

The voice is gentle, it can even be said to be as soft as clear water and as warm as spring breeze.But once the sound fell into the ears of the schoolchildren, it became like a gong for death.Everyone paused for a moment, then immediately put down their sleeves, threw the stones in their hands aside, and stood up respectfully.

"First... sir!"

Only Yuan Feifei, who didn't know why, glanced at this, then at that, and finally put the little iron wolf back into the package.

Qu Linyuan was still holding the teacup in his hand, and the white heat slowly rose in the cool weather. "I haven't been here for a long time." Qu Linyuan walked forward, pacing leisurely in the yard, "When I came last time, here," he pointed to a place in the yard, said, "It's still here." There is a small pavilion, and I remember there are a few peach trees beside it." Qu Linyuan rubbed his feet on the ground, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that even the roots of the trees are gone now."

All the schoolchildren listened to Qu Linyuan recall the past with their heads down, feeling uncertain.When they were playing in the backyard, Qu Linyuan never came, and today I don't know why...

While they were still thinking, someone suddenly saw a small figure at the door of the backyard.

Pei Yun?

Everyone looked at each other in private, all of them looked disgusted.

Sure enough, it was him, the villain who secretly sued.

Pei Yun didn't notice other people's eyes, he kept looking at Yuan Feifei carefully.Not far from her, he also saw the small package.That's not what he gave her.

Pei Yun really wanted to go up to her and ask her, why did she go back on what she had agreed to that day.Did she want to return the things to him... Thinking of this, Pei Yun felt a little sad.

Qu Linyuan over there sighed sadly for a long time, and finally stopped.

He turned his head and said to everyone: "It's so cold, why are you still standing here?"

The schoolchildren finally waited for him to speak, picked up the steps and ran away immediately.

"Sir, let's go now, let's go now."

There was no punishment at all, everyone was relieved, but the schoolboy who had just hit the little wolf gave Pei Yun a hard look when he passed by.

Pei Yun saw it too, but he kept paying attention to the little girl in the yard and didn't care.

After everyone was gone, Qu Linyuan came to Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei was wrapping up all the items, and she felt a little relieved when she thought that she didn't have to send things out.Seeing Qu Linyuan coming, he grinned at him and said, "Sir!"

Qu Linyuan laughed dryly and said, "Oh, you better not call me that."

Yuan Feifei didn't like calling it that at first, so he said indifferently, "Okay."

Qu Linyuan pointed to the small package with his chin, and said, "What is this?"

Yuan Feifei shook his head, "It's nothing." As he said that, he stuffed the package into his arms, and when he turned his head, he saw Qu Linyuan stretching his neck and looking this way.

Yuan Feifei: "..."

"What are you going to do?" Yuan Feifei frowned.

Qu Linyuan: "Give me a look too?"

Yuan Feifei: "What's there to see!"

Qu Linyuan didn't give up and said, "I'll help you out, but you won't even agree to my request?"

"..." Yuan Feifei looked at him suspiciously.

Qu Linyuan smiled lightly and said, "You really think I don't know the tricks of you dolls?"

Yuan Feifei snorted, and reluctantly handed him the package.

Qu Linyuan dismantled it repeatedly, picked up the little iron wolf, and looked around.

Yuan Feifei frowned slightly, looking at Qu Linyuan, always felt that his expression was a little strange.

He looked at the little wolf with a completely different expression from the previous joking expression, as if... as if he saw a far away place through the iron wolf.

The wind was filled with chilling air and an indescribable distance.

After a long while, Qu Linyuan said slowly: "Iron tools are not easy to make molds, and this thing is so small, making it like this really shows some skill."

Yuan Feifei snorted and didn't speak.

Qu Linyuan flipped the little iron wolf into his arms.

"what are you doing!?"

Qu Linyuan: "I want this."

"Fuck!" Yuan Feifei rushed forward, grabbed Qu Linyuan's sleeve, and pulled it hard.

"give me!"

Qu Linyuan was pulled to the side, but he kept clutching the things in his arms, "Go down, what a shame!"

Yuan Feifei opened his mouth and was about to bite.

Qu Linyuan sternly said, "Are you giving me this or all of it?"

Yuan Feifei: "I won't give any!"

Qu Linyuan said in a good voice: "If I hadn't stopped you just now, your wolf would have been smashed by someone. Anyway, it is not yours anymore, so what if you give it to me?"

Yuan Feifei couldn't hold it down for a long time, her eyes became a little sinister, she took two steps back, and said slowly: "It's their ability to smash it away, I think. But you—" She stared at Qu Linyuan, who was half a body taller than her , without flinching, "You, I don't recognize you."

As the north wind howled, Yuan Feifei stared at Qu Linyuan without blinking, his bright eyes were faintly bloodshot.

Qu Linyuan frowned, "You are indeed quite courageous, to look at me like this."

Yuan Feifei stretched out his hand and said in a low voice, "Give it back to me."

Qu Linyuan looked at the little man in front of him, and felt like the wolf cub in his arms had turned into a human. He smiled lightly and said, "If I don't return it, are you going to come forward and bite me?"

Yuan Feifei grinned without a smile on his face, but didn't speak.Her expression couldn't tell whether it was anger or joy, only the outstretched hand remained unchanged, "Give it back to me."

"Heh." Qu Linyuan snorted, shaking his neck, and wanted to say a few more words, but at this moment, there was a gust of wind in the courtyard.

The wind blew off a broken leaf that had lived on the eaves for a long time, and the withered, yellow and ragged leaves circled down from Yuan Feifei's face. The eyes behind the leaves were bright and firm.This scene fell in Qu Linyuan's eyes, and it suddenly became another scene——

He was still young at that time, but he clearly remembered that it was also a winter night... In the brightly lit Qu family compound, the martial artist held a long knife and put it on the boy's neck.The boy stood barefoot on the icy stone road. He was wearing very little, and every time he exhaled, a faint white mist fell on the blade of the long knife, one after another.

Everyone looked at him, including Qu Linyuan.

Time passed for a long time, so long that Qu Linyuan began to tremble all over, and he tightly clutched the corner of his uncle's clothes beside him.

Then, at that moment, a gust of cold wind blew in the yard, blowing down several broken leaves, one of which fell in front of the young man. At that moment, the young man finally opened his mouth slowly and whispered: "No .”

He will never forget the look in Zhang Ping's eyes at that time.

"Hey, return it to me." Yuan Feifei pouted, "Why are you in a daze? Return it to me quickly."

Qu Linyuan came back to his senses, smiled at Yuan Feifei, and said, "Girl, let's be fair, if I hit a rock, how about you give me this little thing?"

Yuan Feifei shouted: "Why do you want to grab my things!"

Qu Linyuan: "I'm not robbing, you just said, if you hit it, you will admit it."

Yuan Feifei sat on the ground discouraged, waved his hands indiscriminately and said, "Go, go, smash it!"

Qu Linyuan said "OK", then casually picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it casually. The stone drew a line in the air, and then flew over the wall without deviation.

Yuan Feifei: "..."

Qu Linyuan: "..."

"Hahaha!" Yuan Feifei was only stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed, "Throw it well, throw it well!" She jumped up from the ground and threw herself into Qu Linyuan's arms, mouthing from ear to ear, "Hurry up and return it!" Me, haha, pay me back quickly!"

Qu Linyuan turned his head and saw Pei Yun not far away looking at him with a complicated face, smiled awkwardly, and handed the little wolf to Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei quickly packed up the package, and then strode out, "Farewell, sir!" She walked to the door, saw Pei Yun, and said casually, "Why are you still here?"

Pei Yun opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak.

Yuan Feifei brushed past him, "I'm leaving."

Pei Yun grabbed her all of a sudden, Yuan Feifei turned her head in doubt.

"what happened?"

Pei Yun hesitated to speak, her eyes wandered around.Yuan Feifei shook off his hand, "Get out of the way."

Pei Yun's face turned pale, and she suddenly said, "You don't keep your word!"

Yuan Feifei stared, "What?"

Pei Yun plucked up her courage, "Where's Yu? Why don't you press Yu? You don't count what you say, we clearly agreed..."

When Yuan Feifei thought of the box of white jade, he felt guilty for a moment, and his confidence was a little lacking, "What... what is the agreement, what did I agree with you? If you give it to me, it's mine. What's your business?"

She was right, but Pei Yun always felt inexplicably aggrieved.

Yuan Feifei took a chance to run out, and said while running, "I tell you, don't go back!"

Pei Yun didn't expect her to run so fast, so she hurriedly chased her, "Don't run..."

Behind him, Qu Linyuan, who was left alone in the courtyard, heaved a long sigh as he watched the two gradually disappearing figures.He picked up another stone on the ground and threw it at the cloth on the wall...but it missed again. "It's so hard to throw, I see those dolls are easy to throw."

He rolled up his sleeves, and made four or five shots in a row, but none hit. At last he sighed and said, "I'm old..." Then he picked up the teacup and walked back leisurely.

On the other side, Yuan Feifei and Pei Yun ran out of the academy one after the other, and Pei Yun's servant followed behind, gasping for breath, "Young Master, Young Master! Let's stop chasing, the little ones can't do it!" gone."

Pei Yun turned her head and said, "Xiao Liu, you go back first."

"Oh! How dare you be a little one." Xiao Liu is the young servant that the Pei family has specially found for Pei Yun. It's hard work, let alone follow Pei Yun.He muttered with a sad face: "It would be great if it was Brother Yang's turn today..."

There were two people from Jin Lou who came to pick up Pei Yun, they changed every day, besides the servant Xiao Liu, there was also Yang Li, Pei Yun's bodyguard.

Xiao Liu followed closely for a while, but still did not follow, and finally separated from Pei Yun completely at a street corner.He put the cloth in his hand on the ground, panting for breath. "Little... little ancestor..." He wiped the sweat off his face, and accidentally saw a small figure staring at him in a dark corner.

He took a closer look and saw that it was a little beggar.

Xiao Liu lost Pei Yun and was so annoyed that he spat at the little beggar and said ruthlessly, "What are you doing staring at your grandfather? Go away!"

The little beggar didn't say anything, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

And over there, master and servant are of the same mind, not only Xiao Liu lost Pei Yun, Pei Yun also lost Yuan Feifei.

Pei Yun seldom ran like this, and his chest hurt from running. He patted his chest to comfort himself, and then leaned against a wall to rest.The wall was very cold, and it was uncomfortable for him to lean against, so he straightened up and squatted aside.

The sun was setting and it was getting dark.Pei Yun squatted on the corner of the street, sad both physically and in his heart, and when the moonlight shone, he cried softly.When the tears fell, he suddenly remembered that Yuan Feifei often laughed at him for crying buns, so he wanted to hold back, but the more he wanted to hold back, the more he cried, and finally he bit his cuff, tears streaming all over his face.

"Hey, is it this little brother?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind, Pei Yun was startled, turned her head and saw three people standing behind him.They were dressed in rough clothes from the market, and they all half-covered their faces with black cloth.

Pei Yun stood up tremblingly, "You... who are you?"

The person at the beginning said: "Don't worry about who you guys are, you just need to know that we are teaching you a lesson."

Pei Yun stepped back a few steps, but he was already standing in the corner, there was no room for him to retreat.

The person at the head wanted to say something more, but a person behind him pulled him and shook his head, the person gave up and said: "Boy, don't do anything annoying in the future." He said something, then stepped forward, raised his head, He waved his hand violently.

Pei Yun had nowhere to hide, and was slapped abruptly.

"Ah..." He covered his face, feeling dizzy, sat down and fell to the ground.

The man stepped forward and stepped on him again.

Pei Yun huddled into a ball, unable to fight back, she could only keep whispering: "Stop! Stop!"

The people behind didn't say a word, and stepped forward one by one.

"Why are you hitting me!"

After hearing Pei Yun's words, the three of them didn't answer him, but snorted coldly.One of them bent down slowly, held Pei Yun's ear, and whispered, "Master, how are you serving me?"

"Hey!"

An inexplicable voice came, and the three of them turned their heads suddenly. At that moment, a bag of choking ashes flew over, and the three of them were caught off guard and covered their faces.

"Cough cough!"

The dust got into the eyes, burning three people screaming, a figure rushed in, holding a sharp needle, and slammed into the waist of one person!

"Ah!" The man screamed and fell to the ground clutching his waist.

The figure took advantage of the chaos and grabbed Pei Yun who was on the ground, trying to pull him out.But Pei Yun had been beaten so dumb that she shrank to the ground, not daring to move.The figure was so anxious that he didn't dare to make a sound, so he pulled him hard.

As a result, as soon as there was a delay, the dust was about to clear away, and the remaining two had recovered.

They thought they were caught by the guards of Pei's family, and took precautions in fear, but after clearing the cigarettes, they found that it was a child, although his face was covered, his figure was somewhat weaker than Pei Yun's.They were relieved, and in a blink of an eye they saw the man lying on the ground, with blood flowing all over his hands.

"Thief girl! Are you courting death!?"

The remaining two were so angry that they went up to catch the child.But this one is different from Pei Yun, although she is small, she is like a live loach, very slippery, jumping around, very difficult to catch.They managed to grab half of the kid's clothes, but the kid didn't break free, instead rushed to the man, went up and bit his arm fiercely.The man rolled up his sleeves for the convenience of beating someone, and this time he bit the flesh, and he yelled, "You son of a bitch! Let go! Let go!"

The man was bitten and hurt, and he slapped the child's shoulder with a palm. The child grunted, but he still didn't let go.That person finally couldn't take it anymore, and called the remaining person to come, kicked and scolded, pulled the child's hair back, and the moment they finally parted, the person howled miserably.

Under the moonlight, the child was biting a piece of meat through the mouth of the black cloth, and spat it to the side, and the piece of meat fell to the ground.Because it was bitten off with the teeth, the piece of meat was very uneven and disgusting.

"Ah! Ahh! I killed you!" The man's eyes were red, he drew a short knife from his waist, and slashed at the child.

The remaining one stepped forward, "Don't be impulsive! Master ordered..."

"Get out!" The man obviously lost his mind and swung the knife.

"The master ordered that no one should be killed!" The remaining person roared, and the knife stopped firmly on the child's neck.

The child didn't move.

Because they covered their faces, they could only see the child's exposed eyes.Those eyes were sinister and chilling.

"You son of a bitch..." The veins on the forehead of the bitten man were exposed, and he held the dagger tightly.

The child suddenly said, "Cut it off."

Pei Yun who was huddled on the ground froze when she heard this voice.

Yuan Feifei.

Her voice was much crisper than everyone had expected, and although there was a little fatigue, there was a mysterious spirit hidden in it.

"What did you say?"

Yuan Feifei said: "Cut it." She even took a few steps forward with the blade, "Kill me."

The man holding the knife looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, and said viciously, "You really think I dare not kill you!?"

Yuan Feifei lowered his head, the broken hair on his forehead blocked his expression, no one could see the corners of his mouth curled up under the black cloth, with fear and joy, "Kill me... because, if you can't kill me today..." She raised her head, staring quietly at the person in front of her with round red eyes, "If you can't kill me today, I will kill you tomorrow."

The dark knife light reflected on Yuan Feifei's forehead, forming an inconspicuous mark.

The scene was deadlocked for a moment.

At this time, Pei Yun, who had been kneeling on the ground, picked up the courage from nowhere, suddenly stood up, and yelled at the man holding the knife, "Let go!"

"Bastard!" Caught off guard, the man was hit hard by Pei Yun, and the blade deflected slightly.

Yuan Feifei found the right moment and kicked under the man.

The man let out a scream, covered his hands, and knelt on the ground. The moment he fell to the ground, he didn't forget to slap his backhand hard. Pei Yun's arm was slapped squarely, and she fell towards the wall.

Yuan Feifei took Pei Yun's hand, "Go!"

"Boy want to leave?!" The last person stepped forward and stopped at the crossing.

This is a narrow alley that is closed on three sides, and there is only one road that can lead to the street. Now that person stops there, the entire intersection is blocked, making it impossible to get in and out.

Yuan Feifei glanced at the high wall next to him.

When I was with Ma Banxian in the past, among other things, I practiced very well at climbing trees and over walls. This wall is less than one foot high, so it shouldn't be difficult to climb over, but...she turned her head and looked at it again. Look at Pei Yun behind her.Perhaps because of special orders, these people tried not to move Pei Yun's face when they were doing it, and only a dark red slap mark could be vaguely seen on his face.However, Yuan Feifei could see that he couldn't take it anymore.His hands were cold and still trembling.

Yuan Feifei frowned, trash... just throw him away.

She changed her mind, and just about to let go, her eyes glanced at a pair of eyes hidden by the wall at the intersection.

She woke up instantly, Yuan Feifei let go of her hand in a blink of an eye, Pei Yun suddenly raised her head, and saw that Yuan Feifei had already rushed to the man, hugged his waist, and threw herself forward!
The man was already on guard, only to be swayed by Yuan Feifei, and then he stabilized his body. He pulled Yuan Feifei's hair and pushed her to the ground, "Go away!"

"Hmm!" Yuan Feifei held back the pain, and she still didn't let go when she fell down. She pulled the man's belt with all her strength, and finally brought him to the ground together.

"Little bastard, I put..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

The man stiffened and swayed above Yuan Feifei, then a stream of blood dripped from his head and fell on Yuan Feifei's body.

"Get out!" Yuan Feifei kicked him away in disgust, and took advantage of the time when the other two didn't get up, he pulled Pei Yun and ran outside, and the remaining one followed closely behind them.

On the pitch-black street, the three of them ran for an unknown amount of time, and in the end Pei Yun almost hung on Yuan Feifei's body.

Yuan Feifei ran the fastest, and she took the remaining two people to the fork in the East Street, squeezed behind a closed clay figurine shop.Pei Yun was ashamed and pale, if Yuan Feifei hadn't been pulling him, she would have passed out long ago.

Yuan Feifei pushed him against the wall, "Lean against him!" Then he turned to another figure squatting by the booth and said, "What did you use to smash it, will it kill someone?"

The man was wrapped in tattered rags, and the steps on his head were lifted, revealing a dirty face.It is Gou Ba.

Gou Ba took out a black stick from his arms and handed it to Yuan Feifei.

Yuan Feifei took it over and took a look.

"There are thorns on it!? You smashed him to death!"

Gou Ba snatched the stick back, "I won't die, I didn't use that much force."

Yuan Feifei stared, remained silent for a while, and then said meaninglessly: "Forget it, just die. Anyway, I didn't let them see the face."

Gou Ba nodded, just now he also covered his face.

Yuan Feifei went over and patted Gou Ba on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Hey, you came in time."

Gou Ba shook his shoulders and stood by the wall by himself.

Yuan Feifei: "How did you find it?"

Gou Ba raised his chin, pointed at Pei Yun beside him and said, "When he was chasing you, those three followed you, and I know one of them."

Yuan Feifei: "Which one?"

Gou Ba: "You stabbed him. He's under the manipulative man. I've seen him before."

Yuan Feifei turned his head and squinted at Pei Yun, "How did you provoke these people?"

Pei Yun clutched her wrist and said sullenly, "I never provoked them..."

Yuan Feifei glared at him, "Who are you lying to!?"

Pei Yun's head was lowered very low, the hair on her forehead fell down, covering her eyes.He whispered: "Anyway, you don't believe what I say..."

"you……"

"Maybe he really didn't provoke him." Gou Ba said aside, "The man with the sick man is usually in North Street. Not long ago, he offended the young master of the Ping family. His net worth has been wiped out, and he is short of money." He said Looking at Pei Yun, he said, "I don't know the other two, they may have been recruited as helpers."

"Is that so?" Yuan Feifei rubbed his chin and said, "That's why you offended someone else." She looked at Pei Yun who was huddled up in a ball, because after rolling on the ground for so long just now, the moon-white little padded jacket was gone. It was covered with dust, and the delicate little face was also tossed into a bad shape.Yuan Feifei sighed, and said: "Come on, let's forget about it and send you back."

She stepped forward and helped Pei Yun stand up.

Pei Yun's legs were trembling.

Gou Ba put the hat cloth on his head again, and said to Yuan Feifei, "I'm leaving."

Yuan Feifei gave an "um", Gou Ba seemed to want to say something more.Yuan Feifei turned his head and looked straight at him with clear eyes, "Hey, I will look for you again in a few days, so don't disappear."

Dog Eight: "Oh."

In the moonlight, Yuan Feifei supported Pei Yun and walked down the street step by step.

"I said crying buns, can we hurry up, do you know what time it is?"

When Yuan Feifei went crazy, he didn't remember things, but now he regained his composure and remembered that the moon was already in the sky, and he hadn't gone home yet, so he had to make excuses with Zhang Ping when he went back later.

"What annoyance." Yuan Feifei frowned.

She didn't notice that when she was talking on her own, Pei Yun's body became more and more stiff and her head lowered.

After walking for a while, they finally met the servant of Pei's family.

The boy was also looking around in the street, at first he didn't recognize Pei Yun, but Yuan Feifei stopped him.When he saw Pei Yun, he was so shocked that all the cloth packages in his hand fell to the ground.

"Young...Master?" Xiao Liu's face was pale, and he rushed forward to support Pei Yun, "Master, what's wrong with you! Don't scare the little one!"

Yuan Feifei said angrily: "Don't shake it anymore! Do you want him to die!?"

Xiao Liu recognized Yuan Feifei, and Pei Yun didn't have much contact with outsiders, but she was very attached to this child.He looked at Yuan Feifei and said, "Mr. Yuan, did my young master meet someone bad?"

Yuan Feifei explained the matter briefly, then put Pei Yun on Xiao Liu, and said, "Go back and ask him to think about it, who has offended him?" After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Looking at the weak Pei Yun, Xiao Liu was so distressed that he almost shed tears.While walking, he comforted Pei Yun and said, "Don't be afraid, young master, the master will make decisions for you, we will not let them go, we won't let them go..."

Pei Yun lowered her head, looking vaguely at the pitch-black ground.

He heard Yuan Feifei's footsteps getting farther and farther away, and when he could no longer hear them, the tears that he had endured until now finally flowed out silently.

On the other side, Yuan Feifei ran back desperately.As she ran, she thought about what reason to find next.

Yuan Feifei ran back to the alley in one breath, the inside was quiet and there was no movement at all.She stood on tiptoe and walked cautiously to the door.

The door was open.She poked her probe and glanced into the yard.

The lights are on, but no one is there.

Yuan Feifei was full of doubts, walked into the yard, and called tentatively, "Master?"

No one should.

Yuan Feifei went around all the rooms. There were dishes and two bowls of rice on the table in the bedroom. They were completely cold.The whole yard was quiet, only the crackling of the lanterns on the table from time to time.

"Strange, where did you go?" Yuan Feifei sat on the stool, and after running wildly all the way, she was still panting heavily.She grabbed the teapot on the table and took a sip from the spout.The tea in it is also ice-cold, but it is enjoyable to drink.

Yuan Feifei sat for a while, and his chest slowly calmed down.She fiddled with the teapot lid for a while, and tried to open her palm to cover the teapot.

Zhang Ping likes to hold the teapot with one hand to drink, but when she puts her hand on it, she can't even cover half of the teapot.

Gululu... my stomach growled...

Only then did Yuan Feifei realize that he had been hungry for a while.She rubbed her stomach, just happened to press the place where she had been kicked, and immediately grinned and inhaled.

"Thief girl, wait for me..." Yuan Feifei gritted his teeth and shook his waist.

She picked up the chopsticks, thinking about what happened just now, her teeth itched with hatred, although she was very hungry, she couldn't eat anything.

Crying Baozi, that trash, could have run away at the first hit, really...

Yuan Feifei hated that she had nothing to do and was soft-hearted. If she hadn't been soft-hearted for a while, she would not have gone back to look for Pei Yun, so there would be no such troubles.But she thought again, if she hadn't gone, then Pei Yun would have been bullied like that, without even a chance to return the phone, and she felt aggrieved again.

Yuan Feifei's mind was in a mess, and he weighed whether he would lose money or not in this fight, but he couldn't think of a result in the end, so he couldn't help but yelled: "It's really..."

"boom!"

Before Yuan Feifei was relieved, there was a loud noise behind him, and Yuan Feifei was so frightened that his chopsticks flew out.She turned her head abruptly, and saw that the door was pushed open, and Zhang Ping was standing stiffly in the dark with a cold air all over his body.

Zhang Ping's face was already well-defined, usually it was fine when his brows were kind and kind, but now his face was livid, his brows were furrowed, and his whole face was indescribably sharp, making Yuan Feifei's teeth chatter.

"Old... lord..."

Zhang Ping looked at her straight.

Yuan Feifei thought of countless reasons before, but looking at Zhang Ping now, he couldn't utter a word.

Zhang Ping was still wearing thin clothes, panting slightly, and his chest moved up and down.

He took a step forward, Yuan Feifei's body reacted one step faster than her brain, and she fell to her knees with a plop.

"My lord, I was wrong! I will never be playful anymore!" She knelt down, just at Zhang Ping's feet, and Yuan Feifei hugged Zhang Ping's leg and cried with a mournful face, "Master, you spare me this time."

Been there a few times before.She came back a little late, Zhang Ping kept gesturing to her, and she used this trick when she was impatient, as soon as she knelt down, Zhang Ping picked her up, and then nothing happened.

However, this time it was obviously not that simple.

Zhang Ping picked her up from the ground and pointed to the bed with one finger.

Yuan Feifei glanced at him carefully, "Master...you let me sleep?"

Zhang Ping still had anger on his face, maintaining a silent posture.Yuan Feifei didn't dare to look him in the eyes, so she obediently ran to the bed and lay down.

OK, I understand.Yuan Feifei thought to himself, isn't it just that they are not allowed to eat?To be honest, she was quite satisfied with this punishment, just now Zhang Ping looked so scary, she thought he was going to beat her.

Yuan Feifei lay on the bed and closed his eyes.But with her eyes closed, she couldn't fall asleep quickly.

She was in some pain.

Also, as time went by, her stomach became more and more hungry, and she could not lie on her back, or she always felt that her stomach would shrink into her back when she gasped.

After Zhang Ping got her onto the bed, he lay down on it not long after.

Yuan Feifei didn't dare to move, and waited quietly.

After a long time, Yuan Feifei heard that Zhang Ping's breath was calm by her side, and she didn't move much. She whispered: "Master..."

No movement.

Yuan Feifei got up carefully, her eyes had already adapted to the darkness, she looked at Zhang Ping's sleeping figure, and called again: "Master... have you slept yet..."

Zhang Ping remained silent.

Yuan Feifei felt relieved.She got up from the bed, jumped over Zhang Ping carefully, and jumped to the ground. Because she was afraid of making noise, she didn't even wear shoes, so she touched the door with bare feet, then pushed a little, turned her head to look, pushed a little to look, and kept going. He didn't stop until he could squeeze himself out through the crack of the door.

She didn't want to close the door at first, so as not to have to open it again when she came back, but she was afraid that Zhang Ping would fall asleep in the room and blow the cold wind, so she closed the door again.

Frustrated, Yuan Feifei ran to the kitchen and dug out the leftovers from the night.Yuan Feifei took a sip of the ice-cold dishes, just in time to lick the ice balls and pricked his tongue.

"Ouch..." She bit her lip, "It's almost freezing..."

That has to be eaten, Yuan Feifei is so hungry that her eyes are blurry now, she sighed, and stopped holding the chopsticks, and was going to grab and eat directly.

But as soon as she reached out, a hand was stretched out behind her and picked up the dish.

Yuan Feifei was startled and turned his head.

Zhang Ping was wearing his underwear, with his chest still open, standing behind her, watching her quietly.

Yuan Feifei's knees softened, and he was about to kneel down again.

Zhang Ping grabbed her arm and hugged her up.

"master……"

Zhang Ping lowered his eyes slightly, saw Yuan Feifei's bare feet, and lifted her up, wrapping his palms around the soles of her feet.

Yuan Feifei said in a low voice: "Master, I'm sorry...I'm too hungry..."

Zhang Ping gave a light "hmm", supported Yuan Feifei with one hand, put the dish aside with the other, bent down, lit the fire with one hand, and put the pot on the stove.

Yuan Feifei hugged Zhang Ping's neck, resting his chin on his shoulder.

After a while, Zhang Ping reheated all the food.

Yuan Feifei whispered: "Master... let me eat?"

Zhang Ping turned his eyes and looked at her.

Under the firelight, Zhang Ping's deep eye sockets were faintly orange. His brows and eyes were ordinary, but he had a clear and distinct face. Under the firelight, Zhang Ping's high nose was indescribably straight.

Yuan Feifei's feet warmed up after a while in Zhang Ping's big hands. She looked at Zhang Ping and smiled "hehe", "Master, are you not angry?"

Zhang Ping smiled helplessly, and Yuan Feifei saw the faint lines on his lips.

After the food was hot, Yuan Feifei was held in Zhang Ping's arms and squatted at the small table next to the stove to eat.

Yuan Feifei ate the vegetables bite by bite. The hot rice tasted different, very fragrant.She picked up a mouthful of food and turned to Zhang Ping, "Master, you can eat too!"

Zhang Ping took a casual glance.

Yuan Feifei said: "I watched everything, you didn't eat anything at night."

Zhang Ping smiled, took her chopsticks, and took a bite.

This table of dishes, Yuan Feifei ate some for himself and fed some for Zhang Ping, and he ate it all up in a short while.

The fourth watch passed, and Yuan Feifei couldn't hold on anymore, so Zhang Ping carried her back to the house and rested together.

Before going to bed, Zhang Ping turned Yuan Feifei around and met his eyes carefully.

Looking at those peaceful eyes, Yuan Feifei nodded lightly and said, "It will never happen again..."

Zhang Ping just patted her, covered her with a quilt, and fell asleep.
