At night, at the hour of Xu.
The moonlight is bright and the wind is cold.
Luo Qingzhou took the bouquet of flowers left by Bai Ling and brought Xiaodie to the courtyard where Miss Qin lived.
After hesitating for a moment at the door, Fang went forward and knocked.
After knocking twice, the gate suddenly opened and Bai Ling appeared in the door. She asked in surprise, "Hey, it's my son-in-law. You're here so late. What's the matter?"
After saying that, I saw the flowers in her hand.
Then he smiled and said, "Oh, the son-in-law is here to pay his respects to the young lady. Please come in."
Bailing opened the door, with a smile on her face, and stood aside.
Luo Qingzhou glanced inside, but did not see the girl named Xia Chan. He felt relieved and asked in a low voice, "Is Miss Xia Chan not here?"
Bai Ling immediately shouted, "Are you here to look for Xia Chan, son-in-law? I'm here, I'm here."
Then he turned around and shouted inside: "Chanchan, the son-in-law is here to see you, with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, come out to greet him."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
A chill suddenly came from the room.
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "I'm here to pay my respects to the young lady."
After saying that, he took the flowers and walked in reluctantly.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling in the yard.
In front of the stone table, a graceful figure in white clothes as white as snow was sitting there quietly, staring at the moonlight on the table in a daze.
In the shadows not far behind her, a cold girl in a light green dress was crossing her arms, holding a sword in her arms, staring at him with cold eyes.
Luo Qingzhou only took a glance, then retracted his gaze, walked to the figure in front of the stone table, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Miss."
He did not give away the flowers in his hand.
The other party is unlikely to want it either.
Qin Jianjia was still looking at the moonlight on the stone table, in a daze, without even glancing at him.
Of course, he didn't speak a word.
Luo Qingzhou waited for more than ten seconds, raised his head, and looked into her eyes that were as beautiful yet deep as the night sky.
However, no voice from her heart was heard.
"snort!"
A cold snort suddenly came from the shadows not far away.
The girl named Xia Chan had a cold light flashing in her eyes, and the sword in her arms seemed ready to move.
Luo Qingzhou's heart trembled and he lowered his head, not daring to look again.
At this moment, he hesitated.
I want to say goodbye and leave this horrible and depressing place as soon as possible.
But reason told him that this matter must be figured out eventually.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Miss, I feel very cold sleeping alone at night. If it is inconvenient for you, can you let Miss Bailing come over to accompany me?"
After saying this, he looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him again.
But to his disappointment, she was still in a daze. Both her stunning face and her beautiful eyes were calm.
Deaf-mute
Luo Qingzhou looked up again at the cold girl standing in the shadow.
She had her arms crossed over her chest, but now she had lowered them. One hand was holding a sword, the other was clenched into a fist. Her eyes were cold, as if she was about to draw her sword.
Luo Qingzhou still didn't hear her voice.
However, I could clearly feel her murderous intent.
He turned his head again and looked at Bailing who was standing by the door.
Bai Ling had an innocent and frightened expression on her face, and she said, "Son-in-law, you...how could you do this? You just got married to the young lady, and you just slept with the young lady two nights ago, how could you say such a thing?"
Luo Qingzhou stared into her eyes, but couldn't see what she was thinking.
I risked my life tonight, but gained nothing.
"I don't want to, I don't want to sleep with my uncle, Miss, don't agree to my uncle."
Bai Ling begged, looking pitifully frightened.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her deeply, not daring to linger any longer. He clenched the flowers in his hand, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Miss, I will go back now. You should rest early."
After saying that, he lowered his head and walked away.
When he walked to Bailing, he handed her the flowers in his hand.
Bailing quickly put her hands behind her back, shook her head shyly and said in panic: "No, I don't want it, son-in-law, you can give it to the young lady, or to Xia Chan."
Luo Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, put the flower directly into the collar on her chest, and then walked out of the yard.
The courtyard was silent.
Long after the master and servant outside the door left, Bai Lingfang took out the flowers from his chest, walked over, and placed them respectfully on the stone table.
The beautiful girl who was sitting in a daze in front of the stone table finally came to her senses and looked at the flowers on the table.
The small courtyard was still quiet.
There was only the sound of the night wind blowing.
After a long while, Bai Lingfang whispered: "Son-in-law is so brave..."
Luo Qingzhou brought Xiaodie back to the courtyard and without thinking any more, prepared to boil water for a bath.
As Xiaodie entered the kitchen, he suddenly said, "Don't boil water. Let's go to the lake. It's more comfortable there."
He was in a bad mood tonight and felt very tired, so he wanted to take a hot spring bath to soothe his body and soul.
Xiaodie quickly came out of the kitchen and said, "Son-in-law, the lake is dangerous, so we should not go there, right?"
Luo Qingzhou had already returned to the house to get some clean clothes, and consoled her: "It's okay, it's right next to us, the water isn't deep, and I can swim."
Xiaodie was still very worried. Just as she was about to continue to persuade him, she heard him say, "Go get a set of clean clothes and soak in the water later. It will be very comfortable. I guarantee you won't want to wash in the house next time."
Xiaodie's heart skipped a beat and her face suddenly turned red.
"oh."
She lowered her head, said nothing more, turned and went into her room, her heart beating rapidly.
Thinking about taking a bath with the young master later, her cheeks suddenly became hotter.
The master and servant took their clothes, closed the gate of the courtyard, and walked towards Yue Ye Ting Yu Garden.
Along the way, Xiaodie's face was red, and she looked around nervously like a thief, afraid of meeting other people.
Although it was dark and the lake was foggy so no one could see her, the thought of taking a bath in the lake was still a little embarrassing for the little girl who had never exposed her body outdoors.
Entered the arch.
Luo Qingzhou first looked carefully at the lakeside and the surroundings. After seeing that there was no one there, he took the little girl along the lakeside and walked towards the northwest corner.
When they reached the most remote corner, Luo Qingzhou asked Xiaodie to squat down.
The two of them squatted among the flowers, holding their breath.
Luo Qingzhou looked around carefully again and listened to the sounds for a while before he was sure that there was indeed no one here.
Then he said, "Okay Xiaodie, take off your clothes. I'll go down and help you check it out."
Although the lake is not deep, the little girl is only about 1.5 meters tall at most. If she accidentally falls into the mud or a mud pit, it will be troublesome.
Whether she screams or gets scared, it will be a bad experience.
Luo Qingzhou carried her on his back, quickly took off his clothes and went into the water.
The moment his whole body was immersed in the warm water, he shivered with comfort.
He raised his head from the water, walked around and explored for a while, then looked towards the shore and whispered, "Xiaodie, you can come down now. It's very shallow here."
Xiaodie hid in the flowers on the shore, her face red. She hesitated for a long time before shyly untying the belt around her slender waist and slowly taking off her dress.
Luo Qingzhou walked to a place three meters away.
There was white mist floating on the surface of the lake. When people were immersed in the water, they could only vaguely see their heads and could not even see their cheeks clearly.
So there is no such thing as peeking at the little girl's body.
Besides, that little girl is so skinny and weak, and hasn’t fully developed yet. What’s so good about her
At most, I would play with her slender and cute little feet.
What's more, the little girl is his, so if he wants to see her, he can just look at her openly, there's no need to be sneaky.
Luo Qingzhou sat down on a rock in the shallow water, exposing his neck and head. He felt relaxed all over and a map of the human body's acupoints emerged in his mind.
Suddenly, he thought of the "Plum Blossoms Flying" boxing technique recorded in the secret book.
According to the description in the book, the "Plum Blossoms Flying" boxing technique can only be used when one has reached the tendon-refining stage.
He planned to watch the boxing technique in his mind while soaking in the hot spring to see if it was as difficult as the Thunder Fist.
"Sir, I'm coming down..."
"Plop..."
Just as the little girl finished speaking, she suddenly slipped and fell into the lake below.
The mist surged and the water splashed everywhere.
A flash of white flashed by in the moonlight.
Then, two slender, snow-white little feet emerged from the water in a somersault.
Xiaodie just showed her slender feet...
"… "
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and rushed over to pick her up from the bottom of the water.
Xiaodie opened her eyes wide, her forehead and hair were covered in mud, and her petite and fragile body was shaking violently in his arms.
Luo Qingzhou thought she was frightened by the fall just now. When he was about to comfort her softly, he saw her face pale. She pointed at the misty lake in front of her and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, there is a monster below... There is a monster below..."
