Tantai Heqing smiled sweetly: "I don't know why, but I always trust you so much."
Xie Fu smiled: "Because I am honest."
Tantai Heqing chuckled: "You are not honest at all, but..." As she said this, she noticed that Xie Fu had been covering her butt with both hands, and asked curiously: "Is your butt... uncomfortable in the back?"
"No."
"Then why are you covering it up?"
"It's a little itchy." Xie Fu said and scratched it a few times.
Tantai Heqing's eyes were a little accusatory, and he didn't know how to be gentle in front of me. Even if he didn't treat me as a young lady, he should at least treat me as a woman.
"Okay, you've worked hard, go and have a rest."
…
Xie Fu got up as soon as it started to dawn. Morning reading was a habit he had developed in the past.
But now morning reading has become morning exercise.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I felt a refreshing feeling silently. The coolness of the morning in summer is very rare, but most people prefer to be immersed in a sound sleep.
Looking up at the sky, the sky is covered with long clouds, like a group of sleeping sheep before the morning sun appears.
Walk out of the yard, pass through a courtyard, walk out of the mansion through the side door, and you will see the Qili Shantang River.
The cool river breeze made Xie Fu feel extremely comfortable. The mountains in the distance were covered in ancient ink-colored clothes and pleated like a painting.
The river was full of painted boats, silent and motionless. It was rare for the noisy Qili Shantang River to be so peaceful. The chirping sounds came from a few swallows flying across the river.
Familiar singing sounds came from not far away, a woman was singing a minor tune, her voice was childish.
The woman was sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a green dress, standing on the bank, facing the river and singing a ditty. She seemed to be afraid of disturbing the people sleeping in the boat, so she deliberately lowered her voice.
Two or three days ago, Xie Fu discovered that this woman would come to the riverside to practice music every day before dawn.
She has a good voice, but unfortunately this ditty is an ordinary ditty, and her singing skills are not very good.
Xie Fu found a spacious place, sat down cross-legged, and practiced the "Taiyi Jinhua Heart Method".
Martial arts is a way of natural selection. Most people are excluded from the moment they are born. Only a small number of people are chosen by heaven and earth. Such people are divided into four levels according to their martial arts talents.
——The one given by heaven, the gifted one, the genius, the gifted one.
Although Xie Fu can be regarded as a naturally chosen person in the field of martial arts, he is the most naturally gifted person with the worst qualifications.
In the words of Master Chuyue, a talent like Master Xie, even if he enters the martial arts, is just an ant driven by others.
Despite this, Xie Fu still diligently studied the "Taiyi Jinhua Heart Method".
Whenever he thinks of Master Chuyue, Xie Fu's desire for martial arts becomes even stronger.
Only by reaching the highest level of Taoism can we avenge our master and save him.
If he hadn't met his master, he would have been a wanderer abandoned by his family, trying to find a place to live.
Like ordinary people, they have clothes, food and entertainment.
What's more, marry a wife, give birth to children, and have your own family.
What life and death, what ambitions, are actually very far away.
Most people only want a small amount of satisfaction in life, but the reality is always the opposite.
He wants to have a home with his master in Suzhou. Is it difficult?
If we can't get together, how can we have a family?
Time passed silently, and before you knew it, the morning sun appeared slowly, and the soft clouds turned into dim red scales and stuck to the light blue sky.
A voice of questioning sounded behind Fu Xie: "How long will you continue to peek?"
Xie Fu opened his eyes. There was no one around. Of course it was him he was talking about. He stood up and said with a smile: "I didn't peek."
The woman in green asked again: "Then how long will you continue to eavesdrop?"
Xie Fu smiled and said, "I'll leave now."
Xie Fu just took steps.
The woman in Tsing Yi shouted: "Stop, you have been watching and listening for half a month, why don't you just let it go?"
Xie Fu smiled and did not refute.
"Coward, forget it, I'll give you an advantage."
Xie Fu responded: "Thank you, girl."
The woman in green giggled, "So you can still speak. I haven't seen you make a sound since I've been here for half a month. I thought you were mute, but it turns out you're not."
Fu Xie didn't respond. He only heard the woman in green say with a smile: "You don't have to be timid. I said forget it and won't blame you. But I will punish you... I will punish you... Come back tomorrow."
"Okay." Xie Fu responded calmly and cheerfully.
"Oops, no, the time is up, I have to leave."
Xie Fu turned around and saw this pretty figure trotting back to Yingyuan. Is it Xiaoling who was returning to Yingyuan?
It's almost time, Xie Fu should go back.
Accompanying Tantai Wenwang to study is the basic condition for his freedom.
Of course Xie Fu is very happy. In fact, Tantai Wenwang is very talented. As long as Tantai Wenwang spends 50% of his attention on studying, he is much better than most people.
When Xie Fu returned to the yard, Hu Diquan ran towards him, "Xie Fu, it's not good."
Xie Fu said: "If you have anything to do, please tell me slowly."
"Zhu Ming was taken to the torture chamber and beaten with a cane!"
Xie Fu asked in surprise: "Why is this?"
Hu Diquan said: "It's not because of you. Zhu Ming saw that you could come in and out freely every day. You left the mansion early this morning. According to the Tantai Mansion's family law, you need to be punished with ten sticks."
This Zhu Ming, I also gained this freedom step by step. Do you think you can gain something without putting in effort?
Hu Diquan said: "Zhu Ming has a delicate skin and tender flesh. If these ten sticks are used, he will probably not die but will be half disabled."
Xie Fu made a decisive decision: "Let's go! Go to the torture chamber."
Xie Fu walked in front, and Hu Diquan followed closely. The two of them walked through the courtyard and came directly to the torture chamber.
Zhu Mingren was seen lying on the stool, his pants were taken off, exposing his white buttocks.
The punishment of caning has always been to take off the clothes and receive the cane.
One is to prevent the punished from putting cotton-like things under his clothes.
Furthermore, removing the lower garments can also have an insulting effect.
Xie Fu saw that the person overseeing the punishment was Xiaoqiu, the young housekeeper, and shouted loudly: "Sister Xiaoqiu, wait a moment."
Zhu Ming, who was lying on the chair, saw Xie Fu and immediately shouted: "Xie Fu, save me."
Xie Fu raised his hand to signal Zhu Ming not to panic, and bowed politely to Xiaoqiu, "Sister Xiaoqiu."
Xiaoqiu asked: "What are you doing here?"
Xie Fu said: "It's all a misunderstanding. I asked Zhu Ming to go out and buy something for me."
Xiaoqiu said in surprise: "Xie Fu, when did you have such great power?"
Xie Fu said: "Yes, yes, it was my negligence. Please give Sister Xiaoqiu a chance."
Xiaoqiu said: "No! The rules are the rules, no one can break them, otherwise the Tantai Mansion will be a mess."
Xie Fu said: "In that case, it is my fault that this happened. If you want to punish me, you will punish me."
Xiaoqiu was stunned for a moment, and saw Xie Fu blinking at her secretly, but pretended not to see it.
Xie Fu took off his belt and pretended to take off his pants.
Xiaoqiu immediately said "Hey" and turned around, "What are you doing? Put on your belt."
