Sex is like a knife hanging over your head
I heard that there was a happy event in Mingyue Village. The second in command of the village brought back a handsome young man, saying that they would get married soon and make him the leader of the village.
When the villagers of Yueming Village learned of this, they asked the Medicine Fairy to send gifts. They weren't valuable, just vegetables grown by each household and smoked meat, a token of their appreciation and joy. But with the current chaos and war, these foods were in short supply. The Medicine Fairy, with her compassionate heart, had to refuse all the gifts.
"You're really causing me trouble," Yinghua complained about Feichun while thanking the villagers. She was the one who interacted most frequently with the villagers in Mingyue Village, after all, she was the kind-hearted "Medicine Fairy."
Yinghua returned to the mountain with good intentions, and met Wang Wu who stopped her and asked her to take a look at his wife again.
Yinghua thought it was just a matter of walking a few more steps, so she followed Wang Wu.
"Fairy, please take a look at the fetus in your belly." Mrs. Wang was lying on the bed with a pale face. She grabbed Yinghua's hand and her tone seemed a little hurried.
The fetus is fine and the mother is also fine, but why does she look pale?
Could there be something else going on? Yinghua was slow to react, not a quick-witted person, but this situation made her uneasy. Could it be that the Wang family's wife had been abducted? Or perhaps she had been mistreated by Wang Wu and couldn't escape?
Yinghua found an excuse to get Wang Wu away and asked in a low voice, "Is your husband treating you harshly?"
Wang Wu's wife shook her head and only used her lips to make the following sound:
The words "Go!"
Walk quickly?
Looking at the dim room and the figures outside the window, Yinghua vaguely realized that he had fallen into a trap. He pulled up the wife of the Wang family and tried to escape together.
She thought she was a kind person to the point of being foolish, but she was unwilling to let go of her foolishness. If they were going to leave, they should leave together. How could she leave a pregnant woman behind and run for her life alone?
"Come with me! Let's go up the mountain together!"
"Leave? Up the mountain?" Wang Wu laughed grimly. "Where are you going, Fairy? Which mountain?"
One life for another.
Taking Baili Yinghua from Mingyue Village in exchange for Liu Qingbai was Shen Ju'an's idea, and it was also the idea of Shen Ju'an and Liu Qingbai.
“No!”
The second-in-command drew out Nie Qing's sword and chopped it across the table, leaving a distinct knife mark.
"Yinghua is from our Mingyue Village, I will naturally save him! As for Liu Qingbai, I won't let him go either."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar. The people in Mingyue Village were naturally puzzled, and there were whispers from below.
It's just those few sayings: "A handsome man is a disaster," "Lust is a knife above your head," or "Bewildered by evil, one forgets righteousness when seeing beauty."
Ye Feichun turned his back and walked away, walking through the noisy noise, going his own way.
"Who do you think you are?" Nie Qing sat on a high place with a cold face and called out to Ye Feichun, "If Yinghua loses a hair, kill your pretty boy to pay tribute to her hair!"
She was the head of Mingyue Village, and she was the one who should make the decision. It was a matter concerning the people of Mingyue Village, and they were actually in danger for a government official's gigolo. Even Nie Qing couldn't sit idly by and watch.
"I'll find a way." Ye Feichun said harshly, as if it were a military order. "If you can't rescue Yinghua within three days, and she loses even a hair, you'll take my head, not to mention that pretty boy!"
"Okay! Just three days!" Nie Qing did not intend to give Ye Feichun more time. Even if they had a good personal relationship, they would not care about old friendship when facing a matter of life and death. What's more, Yinghua was like a sister to them. How could she suffer any injustice because of an outsider?
Every day Yinghua stays there is more danger. Who knows what unscrupulous things those officers and soldiers will do?
"If you can't save him in three days, you and your pretty boy will commit suicide together!"
"Okay! I'll write this down and circulate it to every sister in Mingyue Village!" Ye Feichun agreed readily, and wrote the few words calmly and confidently as if he knew all the strategies by heart.
Haitang asked her quietly, "Do you have any idea?"
"...No." She had no way to save Yinghua for the time being, but she could not let Liu Qingbai leave no matter what.
For Liu Qingbai, the cage was just moved from the Liu family's north courtyard to Mingyue Village.
Feichun gently stroked Liu Qingbai's hair. The man before her had quietly fallen asleep. He was as thin and pale as when they first met. She gently kissed the corner of his lips.
A clear spring melted into his heart, and past grudges vanished like the breeze. After a long time, Feichun's mind was left with only a lingering paranoia:
"I will keep you by my side forever."
She whispered in Liu Qingbai's ear.
"I told you before, it's no good for you to keep me."
In the darkness, the sleeping person was not asleep. Liu Qingbai closed his eyes, greedily enjoying Feichun's obsessive love. The more he had longed for it before, the more awake he was now.
It was like he had swallowed a slow-acting poison that tore at his soul.
"Let me go back." Liu Qingbai sat up and touched Feichun's earlobe. The pair of yellowed pearl earrings shone with a bright luster under the moonlight, flickering in his heart.
He didn't want to be an enemy of Feichun. All he did was to see her, nothing more.
One should not be greedy for too much. When one meets someone, one will want to hug, kiss, and be together forever. But unfortunately, in the current situation, how can one be together forever?
He was an official, while Feichun was a bandit. They were already on opposite sides, and if he stayed one more day, it would do Feichun no good.
Ye Feichun was no longer the former Yulan. She thought she was strong enough to stand on her own, so she only left one sentence: "Don't worry, we will get married tomorrow and never separate again." Then she left.
As the door closed, the room fell into the darkness that Liu Qingbai was most familiar with.
In the darkness, he smiled contentedly. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: if Mingyue Village were to be burned down, would he be considered a male beauty who brought disaster? Would it prove his importance to Feichun? Would it even make up for the loneliness and helplessness he had endured for the past five years?
All the past events flashed before his eyes, and in the dim light, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes and soaked the corners of the quilt. He looked at the scar on his wrist, holding the key in his palm, and regained some clarity.
This is what should have been done according to the original plan, so both sides will perish together.
Liu Qingbai had always believed that his love was selfless, but now it seemed he was just another person in the mundane world. He wasn't like Liu San, who had become a monk, intending to spend the rest of his life guarding a deer, nor was he like her sister, who happily raised the child of her enemy.
He was a mortal, but he didn't want Feichun to suffer again. If Mingyue Village was really gone, it would be a knot in her heart that she would never be able to get over, a place that she would never forget in her dreams.
Since they are both the hurdles that are stuck in my throat and cannot be overcome, why not let him become the vermilion mole and white moonlight that Fei Chun can't erase from her heart. Since they are the people and places that I can't forget for the rest of my life, why not let him and Beiyuan be together?
He fumbled with the rusty key in his hand, looked up at the moonlight, and recalled the kiss he had once had under the moonlight.
"I promise you." He put the key in his arms.
One thought makes you a Buddha, one thought makes you a devil.
Helan Zhu had been ready to make a move for a long time. He didn't want his five years of peace to be disrupted so hastily by Liu Qingbai.
The two hit it off and formed an alliance.
"Do you have any idea?" Nie Qing asked coldly.
She held a glimmer of hope, hoping that Ye Feichun had other plans rather than just forgetting his friendship for the sake of beauty.
Yinghua was just a doctor, frail and unable to care for herself, with no other special skills. Saving the dying and healing the wounded was no problem for her, but escaping danger alone against a hundred was impossible. Every day late meant a day's worth of danger, and she didn't dare take the risk.
"No." Feichun lowered his head.
"Then hand that pretty boy of yours back!"
"No. Will they let us go if we do? They'll just push us further and think we're easy to bully." Fei Chun spat and cursed, "Nie Qing, we're Mingyue Village, not Mingyue Village. We're not just ordinary villagers. We're wanted bandits! Bandits, do you understand?"
"But... Yinghua... what should we do? A head-on confrontation? What if they do something to her?" Nie Qing cursed with red eyes.
She looked like a ghost crawling from the underworld. Nie Qing always appeared tough, but in reality, she was soft-hearted. She resented herself for making rash decisions and inviting the wrong people. Mingyue Village was her life's work, a carefully planned retreat for Yin Ziyan.
Yinghua must be alive, and Mingyue Village must be there too.
Yin Ziyan, that fool, was a weak woman struggling to support herself in the north. If she couldn't hold on any longer, she could still build a place like home for Ziyan.
She had no lofty ideals, no chivalrous spirit of robbing the rich to help the poor. Everything she did was just for Ziyan.
However, after all the calculations, I haven't received Zi Yan's letter for a year and a half. I think it's because of the chaotic world and the slow transportation. I have also received letters for more than half a year before.
As long as the Tianxian Pavilion's reputation remains, she will always believe that Zi Yan is still alive, but the road ahead is difficult and it must not be comfortable.
Nie Qing wiped away his tears, his face darkening as he wiped his sword in a low voice, "Feichun, five years ago you came looking for me with the jade pendant. I took you in when you were dying because of Ziyan's jade pendant. If you destroyed the village for that pretty boy, I would have killed you. Killing someone is not difficult in this world, so don't treat me like a fool."
As they were talking, Haitang rushed in. She was used to being reckless and didn't understand the expressions and atmosphere. She opened her mouth and said bluntly:
"The officers and soldiers sent me a silver bracelet, a beautiful one."
Everyone's breathing stopped and the atmosphere in the room froze.
"Someone!" Nie Qing shouted, unable to bear it any longer. In an instant, the sisters from Mingyue Village came rushing over. "Someone! Cut off the fingers of that pretty boy and send him away!"
"Who dares!" Fei Chun grabbed the sword and held it against Nie Qing's neck. The sword was not unsheathed, but the murderous intent was overwhelming. "Let's see who dares to move!"
Nie Qing sneered a few times, lowering his eyes to look at the scabbard, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. "I was wrong about him after all, and so was Zi Yan."
"Don't touch Liu Qingbai. I'll bring Yinghua back now."
"No need to chop it." Helan Zhu pushed the door open at this moment, "Liu Qingbai has already run away."
"Run away?" Feichun couldn't believe it. A living person just ran away like that?
"He ran away. I released him." Helan Zhu threw the lock on the table.
The iron chain hit the table with a deafening sound. Feichun's head was buzzing with the sound, and he stumbled and dropped his sword and scabbard to the ground.
Nie Qing took this opportunity to hold her down, but felt that Feichun had no strength left.
"You know, I can unlock the door." Helan Zhu said as a matter of course.
"Why?"
"He wants to leave."
Ye Feichun lost all her strength for a moment and collapsed on the ground. Several sisters from Mingyue Village carried her away and put her in solitary confinement.
