Chapter 141 Self-blame

Fu Peibai was awakened by a burst of suppressed sobs beside him, and this series of sounds was like a dying person crying for help unwillingly.

She was shocked for a moment, flicked her index finger, and the candle on the stone wall lit up.

She turned over and looked to her side, the voice really came from the people around her. At this moment, Shi Qi seemed to have fallen into some terrible nightmare, her slender eyebrows were tightly twisted, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, her expression was painful, and her throat let out a sigh of relief. There were bursts of whimpering.

Fu Peibai was terrified, he hurriedly supported her by the shoulders, and whispered again and again: "Seventeen, seventeen, wake up, wake up!"

The whimpering stopped in response, Shi Qi opened his eyes suddenly, those beautiful eyes stared at the void without focus, his thin lips parted slightly, and his breath was messy.

Fu Peibai wiped the sweat off her forehead with his fingertips, and said softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Shi Qi didn't answer, she just sat up and stared at the faint candle flame absently.

Fu Peibai also sat up, moved in front of Shiqi, and said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay." She stretched out her arms and gently wrapped Shiqi around.

Seventeen bowed his waist, resting his forehead on her shoulder, listening to the soft comforting voice in his ear.

After a while, Fu Peibai heard a low voice, "It's not a nightmare".

"Ok?"

"That's my memory."

Shi Qi raised her head, her face had returned to calm, she stared into Fu Peibai's eyes, and repeated, "That's my memory."

Fu Peibai's heart ached, and he stroked Shiqi's cheek, "Then do you want to speak out?"

Shi Qi didn't answer directly, but what he said was already an answer.

"I dreamed about the memory of my first murder."

Her gaze became dazed and confused, "If I don't kill him then, he will kill Xing Guang and then kill me."

Fu Peibai leaned forward and hugged her, "It's not your fault, you're just protecting yourself."

Seventeen broke away from Fu Peibai, and continued: "But later, after I became the teaching envoy of Luoying, I killed many innocent people. My hands were stained with a lot of blood, and I also learned to stand on the sidelines indifferent to many things."

"Fu Peibai, do you know? We received news early on about the capture of young children in Northwest China to plant Luoying Sect. The leader tried to paralyze Lu Wencheng in order to make a plan, so we pretended not to know anything. In other words, I was also responsible for the death of your parents and younger brother, it was me, I caused you to lose your loved one." Shi Qi became excited, and tightly clutched Fu Peibai's wrist.

"You should hate me, you should hate me!"

Shi Qi was panting violently, her eyes were red, she wanted to push Fu Peibai away, but she held on to Fu Peibai's clothes and did not let go.

Fu Peibai took a deep breath, hugged Shiqi forcefully, and locked him tightly in his arms.

"I don't hate you, never will, it's not your fault, Seventeen, it's not your fault."

The woman's subdued weeping sounded in the dark cave.

Hot tears fell on the back of Fu Peibai's hands, she was breathing heavily, her heart was pierced like a knife.

"You once asked me, if the person I like is a disguise on the surface, and she has committed many crimes, in the face of big right and wrong, good and evil, right and wrong, would I still choose her?"

"I said at the time that she and I would not be in such a difficult situation. I will answer you again now, no, the answer is still no. There has never been any principled issue between us. , My Seventeen is not that kind of person, I know it."

Holding Shiqi's face in his hands, Fu Peibai choked up and said, "Wait for me, I will find a way to get the best of both worlds, and solve the obstacles between us. I don't want to be separated from you. I just found you. I don't want to be separated from you." Ah, Seventeen, I will never push you away, can you and don't leave me?"

Her final voice was trembling, and as soon as she finished speaking, tears rushed out of her eyes.

Shi Qi raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Don't cry." But it was obvious that her own face was already mottled with tears.

Fu Peibai got no response, straightened up, held Shiqi's cheek with both hands, and leaned closer.

The moment their lips touched each other, her tears flowed even harder, and the tears slipped down and seeped into the gap between their lips and teeth.

Salty.

bitter.

It's the smell of tears.

Fu Peibai closed his eyes, and intensified the kiss without any rules. His teeth collided together, and it hurt a little.

Licking, nibbling, everything is to prove that Shi Qi is right in front of her eyes.

The woman she was thinking of was right in front of her eyes.

Shi Qi also gently closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around Fu Peibai's neck, raised her head slightly, and accepted this not gentle kiss.

In the quiet cave, there were only the rapid breathing of the two overlapping each other, accompanied by some ambiguous and lingering sound of water stains.

After a while, the two separated, their foreheads were pressed together, and they gasped slightly.

Shi Qi's originally bloodless lips turned red now, and there was a tiny wound on the corner of his lips, which was bitten by Fu Peibai.

Her usually cold and reserved face was replaced by an unspeakable expression at this moment, the tails of her eyes were red and moist, and she just stared at Fu Peibai with unsteady breath.

Fu Peibai suppressed the hidden desire in his heart, panted lightly and prayed again.

"do not leave me."

Shi Qi's face was reflected in her dark pupils.

Shi Qi was looking at herself through such a pair of clear eyes, and she clearly heard the sound of the tight string in her heart breaking completely, as if announcing the complete collapse of her defense against the people in front of her.

She heard herself say in a hoarse voice: "Okay." The next moment, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

"Great, great."

Seventeen raised his hand, stroked the back of Fu Peibai's head, and patted him lightly.

She murmured "fool", and Fu Peibai burst into tears instantly and laughed.

Seeing her like this, Shi Qi also smiled, and the two of them looked at each other with curved eyes.

At this moment, everything in the world has nothing to do with them, only the person in front of them is in their eyes and hearts.

In the next few days, the two continued to recuperate in the cave. They had a tacit understanding and didn't talk about anything outside. They chatted about some insignificant things every day.

But this tranquility was finally broken by Shi Qinghan's arrival.

When Shi Qinghan came, Fu Peibai was applying medicine to the burn on Shi Qi's back, the red and swollen scar the size of a palm made her frown with distress.

After applying the ointment, she lowered her head and gently kissed the round shoulder.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Shi Qinghan who stepped into the cave. She stopped at a distance and chuckled lightly.

This voice was naturally heard by Fu Peibai and Shiqi. They were stunned for a moment. Fu Peibai quickly packed Shiqi's clothes, got out of bed and walked in front of Shi Qinghan.

"what's up?"

Shi Qinghan tilted his head slightly, saw that Shiqi had also got off the bed, walked up to her and saluted, "I have met the leader."

"It seems that the two of you have already known each other's identities."

Fu Peibai frowned lightly and did not speak.

Shi Qinghan walked straight to one of the chairs and sat down. Although he looked up at the two of them slightly, he had a posture of looking down on them from above.

She crossed her legs, sat lazily, and said softly: "The two of you have recuperated for a long time, and your injuries are almost healed. It's time for us to start acting."

Fu Peibai glanced at Shiqi, Shiqi's expression remained unchanged, as if he had returned to the invincible, powerful and steady Shiqi in the past.

It can be seen that she, who has seen Shi Qi's tears, already knows that this appearance is just Shi Qi's mask.

Shi Qi is like everyone else, she can cry, laugh, and hurt. She is a living person with flesh and blood, not a tool for revenge in Shi Qinghan's hands without emotion.

Fu Peibai stretched out his hand and held Shiqi's hand. Shiqi did not break free from her, but shook it firmly back.

The two palms touched, Fu Peibai looked at Shi Qinghan and asked, "What do you want me to do? Tell me."

Shi Qinghan's eyes fell on the hands held by the two, she smiled meaningfully, "No hurry, you have been isolated from the world for so many days, let me tell you about the outside world first."

"On the day when you were rescued, Lu Wencheng safely sent Zheng Hong back to the Marshal's Mansion. After all, he is a well-known sect master. Even if he coveted the fragments of the Dengling Mausoleum held by the Northwest Marshal, it would be inconvenient to blatantly seize them.

He secretly sent secret guards to kidnap Zheng Hong for questioning, and I sent Changjiao envoy Jiehu, who just captured Zheng Hong yesterday, but no matter how much I coerced and lured him, he said he didn't know what the fragments of the tomb were. , you say, does this guy really not know, or is he just pretending not to know? "

She was talking about you, but her eyes were fixed on Fu Peibai.

Fu Peibai knew very well the whereabouts of the last fragment of the climbing tomb, and naturally knew that Zheng Hong really didn't know.

She was hesitating, after all, the specific whereabouts of the last fragment of the climbing tomb was a powerful bargaining chip for her to negotiate terms with Shi Qinghan.

After a while, she took a step forward, looked down at Shi Qinghan and said, "I have something to talk to you, alone."

Shiqi's hands tightened suddenly, she looked back at Shiqi, and patted the back of her hand reassuringly.

Here Shi Qinghan has already got up, walked to the shadowed corridor and whispered: "Follow."

Fu Peibai let go of Shiqi's hand, "It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go."

There was concern on Shiqi's face, but thinking of Fu Peibai's words not to treat her like a child anymore, he let go of his hand.

When Fu Peibai was about to leave, she warned: "The leader is moody, don't argue with her, give in for a while, her martial arts are beyond our reach."

Fu Peibai smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you." After finishing speaking, she raised her legs and caught up with Shi Qinghan who was deep in the corridor.

The two turned east and west on the underground corridor extending in all directions, and arrived at a room after about a quarter of an hour.

Fu Peibai stepped into the underground dark room and began to size up without any trace.Everything in life is readily available, and there are even some things that shouldn’t exist, such as three neat pairs of shoes in the closet, one pair of big ones, one pair of small ones, and another pair obviously belonged to children. There is also a pair of shoes in the corner. Wooden ponies, kites and other things for children to play with.

She was staring at these things in thought, when suddenly she heard Shi Qinghan say: "You want to ask me why I have these things?"

Fu Peibai was silent, she didn't want to ask, Shi Qinghan probably said that because she wanted to confide, thinking of Shi Qi's exhortation, it would be better to follow Shi Qinghan's wishes, so she nodded lightly.

Shi Qinghan opened the closet and took out a colorful children's top, embroidered with auspicious clouds and wishful patterns, which meant peace. She looked at the small clothes and smiled, and the cold breath around her body melted because of this smile Quite a lot.

"Does it look good?" She asked Fu Peibai.

Fu Peibai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After Shi Qinghan heard this, her smile deepened, but within a short while, this smile was suppressed by a gloomy and ruthless expression. She stuffed the clothes back into the closet heavily, and the back of her hand clutching the closet showed blue veins.

"Unfortunately, I can't wait until the day my daughter wears this dress. All this is thanks to Lu Wencheng!"

She growled, and swept a vase on the table to the ground with a wave, the crisp cracking sound of the porcelain was heard, and there was also the sound of Shi Qinghan's rapid breathing.

She slumped on the chair, panting roughly, "Do you know how Lu Wencheng became a prominent suzerain from a farmer's son?"

"Slightly heard."

Shi Qinghan smiled contemptuously, "It's a pity that his old friend, such an infatuated woman, loved him to the bone, and even gave birth to a child for him, but she didn't wait for her Lu Lang until her death."

Fu Peibai said in a deep voice: "No matter what, Lu Wencheng's crimes were all committed by him alone. I hope you will not blame his children, as well as the entire Tianji sect."

Shi Qinghan half-closed his eyes, and asked meaningfully: "Son and daughter?"

"Yes."

Shi Qinghan smiled again, with a cold smile, "Naturally, the wrong has its own debtor, and I only seek revenge from Lu Wencheng, and I won't take my anger out on his child. He really gave birth to a good child."

Good boy?

Fu Peibai frowned, not understanding the meaning behind Shi Qinghan's words.

Who is this good boy referring to?Lu Qingwan?Or the real Lu Yanran who may have died?Or is it Ding Yi?
