Chapter 650 Ruqing
Liu Pingye, dressed in white, suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Bie without any warning on a cold snowy night.
This is something no one could have imagined.
Fang Bie didn't relax for him at all, and still looked at the haggard man in front of him quietly: "What does this mean?"
Fang Bie asked quietly.
"I just want to thank you." Liu Pingye said. After saying that, he slowly stood up from the snow.
The Demon Slayer Sword was in his hand again.
"There is no contradiction between gratitude and revenge."
When he said these words, countless scenes from the past flashed before Liu Pingye's eyes.
...
...
When did you meet Ruqing?
If you think about it carefully, it was already seven years ago.
The peach blossoms bloomed just right that year.
As usual, he traveled to Hedong to study, and then happened to meet a group of bandits.
People in the academy always drew their swords to help when they saw an injustice, and at that time, Liu Pingye's reputation for the invisible sword had spread throughout most of the world.
Very easily, he took action to deal with the bandits, and as usual, as long as he found the local six doors, he could properly resettle these homeless people.
And Ruqing is among those homeless people.
At that time, she called herself Xiaoru.
"Sir, can you take me back?"
That's what she seemed to say at that time?
That unkempt little girl, who would have thought that she would become a big shot in Luo Jiao.
He still remembers his laughter.
"I'm almost ready to be your father. If you're not ashamed, I'm still ashamed. Don't say stupid things. Where is your home? I can take you back if you want." He said to the woman in front of him
.
Because she looks really small.
He looks about sixteen or seventeen years old.
At that time, were I thirty-two or thirty-three?
In short, as a man in his thirties, he is really very old.
There has never been a shortage of legends about people committing themselves to each other in the world, but people in academies are well-read, elegant, and can enter official careers through the imperial examinations and become marquises and prime ministers. They have always been a high-risk group for people to commit themselves to each other.
Xiao Ru is not the first person to say this.
Of course it won't be the last.
"Sir, I don't have a home anymore." That's what she said to herself when she raised her head.
Those eyes are really bright and a bit foul.
"If you didn't save me, this would be my home, and I would become a bandit wife, and maybe give birth to a bunch of little bandits." "But you saved me, and I have no home. I only know
a few The ability to serve people with tea and water will make you feel at home wherever you go." "
Then I want to stay with you, sir, is that okay?"
Did he know at the time that she would be a trouble?
I must know it myself.
But even so, he still brought the other party back to Bailu Academy.
Anyway, there are so many handsome young people in the academy, and girls are always pretty. Maybe they can make a wonderful couple?
Of course, if you want to blame.
It's probably because Ruqing's eyes were too bright at that time.
The road from Hedong to Jiangxi is actually very long.
He walked most of the time, and occasionally took a boat, but this little girl followed behind him without saying a word.
Not a step away.
It wasn't until that day that he looked back and saw her walking away crying, with tears streaming down her face, but not making any sound, that he asked her what happened.
She said nothing.
That day she walked the whole day crying.
When he went to bed at night, he forcibly took off the other person's boots, only to find that his socks were stuck to his feet and he couldn't take them off no matter how hard he took them off.
If you walk too much, you will develop blisters, and when the blisters burst, you will develop calluses.
But if you keep walking, the blisters will turn into blood blisters, and when the blood blisters burst, they will bleed.
The blood and socks stick together and they won't come off no matter how hard they are taken off.
Looking at the other person's tearful face at that time, he asked this guy seriously - why didn't you tell him that your feet were worn out?
Why keep walking?
Xiaoru’s answer at that time is still very clear in my memory.
She whispered with tears on her face: "If I tell you, you will dislike me, right?" "You were
so reluctant to take me back in the first place. If I still cause so much trouble, then you will definitely not want me. Right?"
Since Liu Pingye had never married a wife, of course he would not have a daughter, but at this moment, he really felt distressed.
"So I won't let you go."
He said while holding the other person's head.
Feeling her tears wet his chest.
For the rest of the journey, Liu Pingye carried him on his back most of the time.
There is no other reason, just because this idiot's feet really can't walk anymore.
Liu Pingye has always felt that this guy who calls himself Xiao Ru is really stupid and stupid.
When he held her hand and walked to the entrance of the academy that day, almost the entire academy crowded out to look at the two of them.
Even if he had already written to Bai Qian in advance and told her about Xiaoru's situation.
But for most people in the academy, the fact that the senior brother they admired suddenly brought back a girl was a huge bolt from the blue.
After all, the name of the invisible sword is well-known in the world, and Liu Pingye himself is also the most popular backbone teacher at Bailu Academy. Everyone believes that he will be the most powerful competitor for the dean.
Moreover, Bai Qian himself also had high hopes for him.
That day he held her hand and introduced Xiaoru to everyone, but when it turned out that Xiaoru was just his sister, the whole room burst into kind laughter.
So Xiaoru stayed at Bailu Academy.
Liu Pingye's life in the academy was very boring. He read and practiced swordplay every day, supervised the students' homework, and sometimes read other people's articles by the way.
I get up very early in the morning and go to bed very late at night.
I hardly speak to her twice a day.
There's probably nothing to say.
As Xiaoru herself said, she only knew how to do some simple tasks such as washing and cooking. Every day when Liu Ping came back at night, she would ask for clothes and bring him food.
Almost every day.
Many fellow disciples laughed at Liu Pingye for hiding his beauty in a golden house, but they couldn't explain it clearly.
After all, he brought the people back.
I also live next to his house every day.
If a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
But Liu Pingye felt that continuing like this was not an option after all.
Finally one night.
He called the blushing Xiaoru to his room and asked her if she was used to living here, if anyone bullied her, if she was bored, and if she wanted to go out for a walk.
After so many small talk, he asked.
Have you met anyone you like at Egret Academy?
If so, tell him and he will hire a mediator for her to arrange the marriage.
At that moment, Xiaoru's face turned pale, and then tears flowed down.
She asked Liu Pingye if there was something he didn't do well enough to cause him trouble, so he had to drive her away.
Liu Pingye explained seriously that he did not drive her away, but that there were so many young, handsome, and innocent students in the academy, and among them there must be a good match for her. He was thinking about her lifelong affairs.
Before Liu Pingye finished speaking, Xiao Ru ran out of the room crying.
the next day.
No one left food for Liu Pingye anymore.
Of course, there must be no one to wash the clothes.
It happened that Bai Qian asked him to read an article together that day, so he told Dean Bai about it. Dean Bai was stunned for a long time and looked at him: So you really made your brain stupid by reading?
He asked the dean what it means to read and make your brain stupid.
Dean Bai smiled bitterly and said: The whole college knows that Miss Xiaoru likes you, but you still want to marry Miss Xiaoru. Are there any fools like you in the world?
At that time, Liu Pingye was completely confused.
"Why does she like me?"
Although Xiao Ru looked like a clay doll with unkempt hair when we first met, but after washing and dressing up, even the commoner and Jing Chai had the scent of a beauty naturally carved from hibiscus.
Besides, she is seventeen or eighteen and he is thirty-three.
"I didn't save her and bring her back because of her beauty!"
Liu Pingye said loudly.
Just because the girl's eyes were bright, he didn't want to leave her and let her suffer.
"So let's take it easy." Bai Qian said when she looked at herself.
"Suppose you were seventeen or eighteen and were trapped in a bandit's den. You were about to become a bandit's wife and give birth to a bunch of babies for the bandits. Someone stepped forward to save you. Would you be grateful to him?" Bai Qian asked
.
"Grateful." Liu Pingye nodded and said.
Xiaoru was also very grateful at that time.
So she wanted to commit herself to him.
"But no matter how grateful you are, the other party won't accept your thanks." Bai Qian continued: "He also plans to leave you alone on the road and let you fend for yourself." "What should you do?"
Liu
Pingye was trapped. In hesitation.
He has never thought about Xiao Ru's feelings from his perspective.
Sending Buddha to the West is really difficult to do.
"You have nowhere to go, so you can only grab the life-saving straw in front of you and let him take you with him, because no matter what, he is the best person you have ever met along the way. Even though he is a little older, he has good martial arts. He is well-educated, and he pays attention to the manners of a gentleman, and he is polite when
dealing with others." "Even if I have nothing, I treat each other with courtesy like I would treat a lady. A gentleman observes integrity."
Bai Qian looked at Liu Pingye and said.
"No!" Liu Pingye retorted.
He has never forgotten that he didn't want to take Xiao Ru back to Bailu Academy, so he half forgot and half deliberately walked back to Jiangxi with Xiao Ru.
"I heard that you carried her back to Jiangxi. Is this true?" Bai Qian asked.
"That's because she couldn't walk on her feet at that time." Liu Pingye argued.
"Men and women don't kiss each other, so why do they kiss her when she goes back to Jiangxi?" Bai Qian said jokingly.
"After I carried it back, I left her alone. I also thought about marrying my husband's family and letting her go far away." Bai Qian looked at Liu Pingye: "If it were you, what would you do?" Liu
Pingye He was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the dean in front of him: "Sir, can you teach me what to do?"
"A man, a real man, stands between heaven and earth. What's wrong with marrying a wife and having children?" Bai Qian said lightly: "I advised you ten years ago. ."
"You said that if you haven't completed your knowledge and martial arts, there is no point in starting a family." "
Now ten years have passed, and your knowledge is among the best in the academy, and your articles and martial arts are also among the best in the world." "
You also said that you are old and don't want to delay. This girl's house."
"You took all the emotional reasons?"
Liu Pingye was silent for a moment.
"Do you like Miss Xiao Ru?" Bai Qian asked next.
Liu Pingye shook his head first, and then nodded.
"Then get married." Bai Qian looked at Liu Pingye and said.
"I'll arrange your marriage."
If the marriage had been arranged at that time, would things have been different?
Liu Pingye sometimes asked himself.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Liu Pingye finally refused.
He has always been such a stubborn person. Just as he stubbornly chose Egret Academy at the beginning, he now stubbornly rejected the dean's proposal.
He came to Xiaoru's room by himself and talked with her for another night.
The two talked a lot that night.
Xiaoru started to speak but stopped many times.
But in the end, we finally came to a conclusion.
Xiao Ru is too young, and Liu Pingye is too old.
Liu Pingye may still be in his prime and full of energy now, but in another twenty years, he will be almost sixty.
And Xiao Ru is only thirty-seven or eighty-year-old.
Xiao Ru likes herself now, just out of repayment and temporary impulse.
If she waits until two or three years later, when Xiaoru is over twenty, and if she doesn't have anyone she likes by then, then let's talk about marriage.
Xiaoru was silent for a long time and agreed.
She only said - in that case, you can't force me to get married again in these two or three years.
Two or three years probably passed quite quickly.
But the unexpected happened after all.
After two years of such a peaceful life, when everyone gradually got used to Liu Pingye having such a sister by his side, when Xiaoru herself slowly began to learn to read, write, recite poetry and paint.
An uninvited guest came outside the mountain gate of Bailu Academy.
He is Luo Dharma King Shu Qing.
He was still wearing his scarlet lama robe, and he dared to block the mountain gate of Bailu Academy alone. With just the force of his palm in the air, several fellow apprentices fell to the ground and vomited blood.
Everything seems to be in ruins.
He destroyed the gate of Bailu Academy with one punch and shouted loudly.
"Ru Qing, how long are you going to hide here?"
Almost no one in the academy could defeat this Luo Jiao Dharma King. Liu Pingye was almost defeated within ten rounds.
After all, the other party is almost the top master in the world.
Sometimes the distance between one item is greater than imagined.
At that time, Liu Pingye learned the true identity of the weak woman he had taken in more than two years ago.
Her name is Xiaoru, also Ruqing.
She is one of the guardians of the Luo Sect.
Her full name is Ding Ruqing.
She is the biological daughter of Ding Kuyu, the leader of the Luo Sect.
