Chapter 19 The Nineteenth Goddess of the Wild Forest
Seeing Mrs. Deyi, she felt more and more that she dared to go in because of her super lightness kung fu, but she still had some doubts in her heart, since her inner strength had recovered, why did she speak so weakly.
Mei Yinxue turned around and smiled weakly:
"My internal strength has not fully recovered, and I don't even have the strength to speak. If you want to chat with me, please come in and sit down. I don't have any serious ambushes in the woods, and I will definitely not hurt you."
Madam Deyi stayed for a while, the more Mei Yinxue invited her in, the more she dared not go in, she thought to herself: "It turns out that she pretended to be weak when she spoke, and she deliberately lied to me."
Mei Yinxue said: "Please, please..."
Mrs. Proud laughed loudly and said: "You can fool others with these words, but you can't fool me. I can't be fooled by you!" She laughed a few times triumphantly, turned around and flew away!
Mei Yinxue watched her disappear, she couldn't help wiping the sweat from her forehead with her backhand, and said inwardly, "It's a fluke!" She just showed off Zhuge Kongming's empty city plan, and gently tricked Mrs. Yiyi.
Madam Deyi's description of the incident was naturally not so thoughtful.
She finally said: "When I came back that day, I was afraid that the slut would secretly come and plot against me, so I built a wooden house on a tree, and spread many ambushes around it, hehe! Although she is cunning like a fox, my old lady How could he lose to her? My old lady dare not go into the woods, so why would she dare to come here?"
When Nangong Ping heard that Mei Yinxue was fine, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and thought: "So she did all these traps and ambushes for Mei Yinxue. In this way, my lightness kung fu is no longer the same as Mei Yinxue's, is it? That's why I fell into this trap."
But he didn't know how much his lightness kung fu was now better than Mei Yinxue's, because Mrs. Deyi overestimated Mei Yinxue's lightness kung fu, and Nangong Ping was in a state of weak physical strength.
Mrs. Deyi said bitterly: "The hateful thing is that that bitch actually took possession of that broken boat and tinkered with it all day long to repair it. I'm afraid that when her boat is repaired, she will be able to get out of trouble, and I will only die forever." On this goddamn deserted island, but...now that I have you, I am not afraid of her leaving..." He slapped Nangong Ping on the shoulder and laughed wildly.
Nangong Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he said sharply, "What do you mean by that?"
Mrs. Deyi said: "She is such a passionate woman, since she married you, how can she be willing to leave a handsome young man like you to accompany me on this deserted island?"
Nangong Ping said angrily: "Are you going to blackmail her with me?"
Mrs. Deyi smiled and said: "You are very smart." She picked up Nangong Ping and swept away from behind the forest.
Through this dense forest is a piece of black rock.The forest is gloomy, with chirping insects and birds. When you come here, your vision is suddenly opened, but you can see the breeze, white snow, and the sound of sea waves coming with the wind.
Nangong Ping looked around, and saw that there was another jungle beyond the black rock, and he knew that in that jungle lived the Mei Yinxue whom he had been thinking about day and night, for a moment his heart beat unknowingly, and he was waiting to call out However, Mrs. Deyi lightly tapped his Ya acupoint again, and said, "Be quiet!"
She hid Nangong Ping behind a rock, and Fang Zi strode up to the black rock beside the forest, calling loudly: "Mei Yinxue... surnamed Mei, come out!"
With a sharp cry, a few night birds in the forest fled in fright, and flew into the sky with a sound of flapping wings with a sense of condemnation!
Then, there was a long laugh in the forest, Mei Yinxue walked out slowly with a branch in her hand, she was wearing a long robe made of sails, simple but clean, like a goddess of the wild forest, her face With a faint smile on his face, he said with a faint smile: "Are you here again? Please come in, please come in."
Mrs. Ziyi giggled and said: "Good girl, long time no see, you look even more beautiful when you come out."
Mei Yinxue said with a smile: "I hunted some wild rabbits yesterday, and they were delicious too. Would you like to eat some from my place?"
The two of them talked back and forth, with gentle smiles on their faces, and their words were even more affectionate, but in each other's hearts, they wanted to swallow each other into their stomachs.
As soon as Nangong Ping heard Mei Yinxue's voice, his heart was full of sorrow and joy, he couldn't be himself, he only hated that he couldn't move his body, couldn't speak, his heart seemed to be split open for a while.
Mei Yinxue turned around and said with a smile: "You are so happy today, but is there any happy event?"
Mrs. Deyi said: "That's right, I heard that your boat is about to be repaired, so I'm very happy."
Mei Yinxue giggled and said, "Ah, you're so kind, but it's a pity that I left by boat alone, so you're even more lonely, and... when you die, there won't even be a body collector. Being eaten by ants, alas! When I think of this, I feel very uncomfortable."
Mrs. Deyi cursed in her heart: "Damn bitch." But she smiled lightly and said: "Ah, sister, you really care about me, but sister, I will definitely not have someone to collect the body."
Mei Yinxue giggled and said: "I wanted to stay here to collect your corpse, but you never die, I can't wait any longer, so I have to go first..."
Mrs. Deyi said: "Good girl, I know you are joking, you won't leave, you want to leave the boat to me, and let my sister and I go alone, do you think so?"
Mei Yinxue held back her smile and said: "It's very, very very, thanks to how you figured it out." Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".The more she thought about it, the more amusing she felt, until the flowers trembled from laughter, and tears almost flowed down.
Mrs. Deyi laughed and said, "Is this a good idea? Good girl, let me tell you, I didn't come up with this idea, but a guest who came from my place today told me."
Mei Yinxue smiled and said, "Oh? Really? That guest of yours must also be very smart, who is he?"
Madam Deyi said coldly: "Nangong Ping!"
Mei Yinxue's body shook, her laughter stopped abruptly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Nangong Ping? He's here?"
Madam Deyi slowly raised her hand, smoothed her long hair in the shawl, and said leisurely: "Yes, he is here, do you want to see him? He wants to see you wholeheartedly!"
Her movements and demeanor are still as seductive and seductive as before, but she has forgotten that she has lost her former color a long time ago. A woman as ugly as a nightshade wants to act like a seductress. It's so vile that it's so vicious that you almost vomit out the overnight meal.
Mei Yinxue's heart was agitated with emotion, but her expression remained calm.
Mrs. Deyi was stunned for a while, and said loudly: "What! Don't you want to see him?"
Mei Yinxue thought a few times, and said slowly: "Why don't I want to see him?"
Mrs. Deyi giggled, and said: "That's it, I knew that you must also want to see him."
Mei Yinxue suddenly said again slowly: "Why did I want to see him, I already regarded him as dead in my heart, this kind of ruthless man, it's the same whether I see him or not!"
This time it was Madam Deyi's turn to startle, her laughter stopped abruptly, and she changed color: "Have you forgotten the vow you two made? Have you forgotten that you are married? You once told me that you have always had a deep love for him, Are those all lies?"
Mei Yinxue said coldly: "That's right, I used to love him deeply, but now I hate him to the core. On that 'Island of the Gods', I begged him to open his eyes to look at me, but he refused , Why do I have to see him now, why do you say I have to see him!"
The more she spoke, the higher her voice seemed to be filled with anger!
Mrs. Deyi's complexion changed drastically, and she said in a panic: "At that time, he must have had many difficulties, so he didn't want to see you, but he is indeed a gentle and affectionate man, and he really has a deep love for you, you must not let him down !"
She originally thought that she would be able to use Nangong Ping to blackmail Mei Yinxue and make Mei Yinxue obey her. She came here full of pride and hope, but Mei Yinxue had already given up Nangong Ping in her heart.
So her hope turned to disappointment, her pride turned to panic, and she defended Nangong Ping over and over again.
Mei Yinxue sneered coldly, and said: "Since you think he is a gentle and affectionate man, let him accompany you, heh heh! I am also happy to have such a gentle and affectionate man accompanying you on the desert island." Don't worry, let's go." Before he finished speaking, he turned around.
Madam Deyi was even more anxious, and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Mei Yinxue didn't turn her head back, and said coldly: "I gave you my husband, what else are you dissatisfied with? What else do you have to say?"
Mrs. Ziyi's face was frowning, and she no longer looked half-satisfied, she said in a stunned voice: "I am old and ugly, I am already an old woman, how can I be worthy of her, but you two are both talented and beautiful, a perfect match..."
Mei Yinxue said coldly: "Is this what you want to say?" She moved forward and walked forward.
Mrs. Deyi said loudly: "Wait a minute, he is looking for you so hard, you have to see him no matter what."
Mei Yinxue stopped in her tracks, and said, "It's the same whether you look at him or not, it doesn't matter if you look at him again."
Mrs. Deyi said: "Wait for a while, I'll bring him right away." Rufei swept back, she wanted to wait for Mei Yinxue to beg hard, and then bring Nangongping, but she didn't know that at this moment, she changed To beg Mei Yinxue bitterly because of her, isn't it pitiful and ridiculous!
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Nangong Ping felt sad and happy, disappointed and indignant.
He secretly thought: "Even a woman like Mrs. Deyi knows that I have difficulties in my heart, but Yinxue doesn't understand me at all." There was a rush of blood in his heart, and he suddenly turned to think: "She has a deep plan, could it be that this It's just that she has already seen through Mrs. Yiyi's intentions, so she played hard to catch and pre-empted others..."
He was doubtful in his heart when Mrs. Deyi flew over, bent down, straightened the sackcloth on Nangong's body, and straightened the messy hair on his head, but said sharply: "After you go out, hurry up and suffer!" Begging her will surely touch her heart, begging her to forgive you, you know, otherwise... hum! You know very well in your heart that this old lady can do anything!"
Nangong Ping gritted his teeth and said nothing, Mrs. Deyi picked him up and turned out of the stone.
Nangong Ping stared out, only to see a pretty figure, with his back to this side, standing in the thick shadow of the dense forest, in an instant, his heart was hit by a boulder, and he blurted out: "Yinxue, I..."
Mei Yinxue's body seemed to tremble slightly, but she still didn't turn around!
Mrs. Deyi forced a smile and said: "Good girl, look, didn't my sister bring your son here? You see, he has become so haggard because of missing you, even I feel very uncomfortable to see it."
After Mei Yinxue passed for a long time, Fang Zi slowly turned around, his face still indifferent.
Mrs. Deyi said: "Look, look, you young couple, after so many changes, finally meet again, ah! This is really a gratifying event, I am so happy, so happy ..." She kept saying that she was so happy, but her face was frowning, and her eyes were full of resentment, how could she look happy at all?
Nangong Ping saw that Mei Yinxue was so indifferent to him, and the dry words in his heart, before he could say them, they were all choked in his throat, turned into a huge stone, pressed down heavily, pressed down heart.
Madam Deyi turned her gaze, tugged at Nangong Ping's sleeve, and said, "Speak up! Are you not happy to see her? Just say what you have to say, aren't you still ashamed?"
Mei Yinxue's complexion changed suddenly, and she said sharply: "What else does he have to say, I'm fine if I don't see his face, but when I see him, I can't help being filled with hatred, you quickly take him back!"
Mrs. Deyi said loudly: "You and him have really broken off your friendship?"
Mei Yinxue said angrily: "You are absolutely right."
Mrs. Deyi suddenly gave a sinister sneer, and said: "Since that is the case, I will use the five yin techniques to cripple his eight meridians, and let him die of black blood after suffering a lot. Look at you, is your heart aching or not?" Sure enough, he raised his hand to touch Nangong Ping's remnant acupoint, but he secretly glanced at Mei Yinxue out of the corner of his eyes, hoping that she would help her.
Mei Yinxue sneered and said: "Please, please, please, I just hope that you will do it right here, and let me see how he looks when he suffers, and at the same time, you can know whether my heart aches or not."
Mrs. Deyi was taken aback for a moment, she stopped her palms suddenly, jumped up, and cursed: "What a ruthless slut, you actually have the heart to murder your own husband, no wonder people in the world call you cold-blooded, your blood really Colder than a poisonous snake, your heart is also more poisonous than a poisonous snake!"
Mei Yinxue looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Thanks for the award, thank you very much, if I was not cold-blooded, I would have died countless times already..."
There was a sudden pause in laughter, and she took out a pair of small golden bells from her bosom, threw them over, and landed on Nangong Ping's feet with a jingle sound, Nangong Ping's heart was shocked, and she said in a deep voice: "That's it!" It was the token you gave me on the day you and I got married, and now I have returned it to you, and from now on, we have nothing to do with each other, so don't bother me again!"
Nangong Ping's heart felt as if a sharp knife had been pierced into his chest, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and a slight pause in his throat.
Mrs. Deyi scolded angrily: "What a shameless bitch, you divorced your husband when others divorced their wives. Throughout the ages, although there are many vicious and shameless women, none of them can compare to you."
Mei Yinxue sneered: "Really? I originally thought you were the most vicious and shameless woman."
Mrs. Deyi was furious and furious, she stomped her feet and scolded: "Nangong Ping, why are you silent like a turtle, you...you..." The gravel flew, and the black rock on the ground was crushed by her feet.
Nangong Ping's heart was already numb from the pain, and he said numbly: "Yinxue, I'm sorry for you, I don't blame you for treating me like this, you are still young, and you still have a lot of life to live, I just hope you can find a proper one in the future. people, live a decent life, don't..."
Mei Yinxue said: "Don't bother you, there are a lot of men in the world..." Huo Ran turned around, laughed and said: "My boat has been repaired, now I'm going to row!"
Amid wild laughter, she seemed to fly into the dense forest, and then her laughter immediately turned into weeping, she shook her body twice, and cried bitterly: "Xiaoping, you should forgive me, if I don't do this, I will definitely deceive you." But Mrs. Ziyi's poisonous hands..." before finishing speaking, he raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
She struggled to walk a few steps, found a hiding place, and sat down slowly. She was well aware of Mrs. Deyi's cruelty, so she pretended to cut off Nangong Ping's kindness, so as to disappoint Mrs. Deyi.
But she didn't know how much she paid for this disguise. She made Nangong Ping sad, and she didn't know how painful it was. Nangong Ping's last words broke her heart even more. Blood spurted out.
She wiped the blood lightly, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, just because she knew that she had succeeded in disguising herself. Even though Mrs. Yiyi was cunning, she was deceived by her. She said softly to herself: " Mrs. Proud, come, I am waiting for you in the forest with countless ambushes? You think I am going, why don't you come?"
There seemed to be a picture in front of her eyes...
Mrs. Proud was hung upside down on the tree, moaning to death, and then she could fall into Nangong Ping's arms. At that time, Nangong Ping naturally knew her painstaking efforts. At that time, they would shed tears and appreciate each other's feelings. The lovesickness and pain for each other, and then they sailed away, and then, there was a series of happy days, and then...
She was exhausted, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, her whole body seemed to be completely exhausted. At this moment, when she closed her eyes, she passed out in a happy dream...
Watching her disappear, Nangong Ping was so excited that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood...
Mrs. Proudly stomped her feet, kept cursing, and walked back and forth beside Nangong Ping. Suddenly, she stopped, slapped Nangong Ping's acupuncture points open, and said loudly: "Useless man, hurry up and chase after him!" , tied that shameless woman to a tree, and whipped her severely..."
Nangong Ping sat on the ground without moving, and murmured: "Let her go... let her go..."
Mrs. Deyi scolded angrily: "Let her go, hey! Are you still a man? You suffer on this deserted island, but let her go back to have fun with other men. If others know that she was once your Nangong Ping Wife, not only can you not see people when you are alive, but you can’t see ghosts when you die, even your master and brother, eight generations of ancestors have been humiliated by you, are you worthy of your ancestors?"
Nangong Ping clenched his fists tightly, clenched his teeth, and suddenly stood up.
Mrs. Deyi thought that Nangong Ping had been moved by these words, and said happily: "Go, go!" She asked Nan Gongping to break through the ambush first, and then she followed suit.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Ping was stunned for a long while, and suddenly sat down on the ground. Mrs. Deyi gritted her teeth with hatred, walked around the forest for a few times, and suddenly hit Nangong Ping's acupoint again, saying: "Go! Go over there!"
Nangong Ping was completely numb, once she pointed, she didn't know how to dodge.
She thought that there must be many ambushes in the front of the forest, so she went around one side and entered through the forest to intercept Mei Yinxue.
She walked half a circle around the woods, and saw a black rock rising from the wall, and the jungle below, Mrs. Deyi thought for a while, and found two flints. Nangong Ping felt a sigh of relief, and blurted out: "Set fire?"
Madam Deyi said coldly: "That's right, I'm going to burn this forest to see if she has any ambushes!"
One must know that the reason why she didn't dare to set fire for so long was because she was afraid that she would attack Mei Yinxue with fire, why wouldn't Mei Yinxue not be able to attack herself with fire, if the whole island was burned to wasteland by then, wouldn't it be that the two of them would perish together?
But at this moment, she no longer had any worries in her heart. She immediately found some dead branches and scattered leaves, lit them up, and threw them down from the mountain wall.
The wind was strong and the forest was dry, the fire ignited instantly, and a puff of thick smoke shot up into the sky.
Mrs. Proud laughed and said, "See what you can do this time, unless..."
Nangong Ping cut off coldly: "Even if she was going to stay for half a day, if you set fire to the forest, she would leave by boat. When the fire is extinguished, even if you go in, it will be too late."
Mrs. Deyi's heart was shocked, and she stayed for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Okay, everyone died together, wouldn't it be clean..." The left palm opened Nangong Ping's acupuncture points like lightning, and the right palm stretched out quickly, pushing Nangong Ping down the rock , laughing wildly: "Come on! Go in..."
Nangong Ping charged straight out, seeing that he was about to fall into the raging fire, at this critical moment, he grabbed a protruding rock with his palm, jumped up with luck, and swept his feet backwards, only to hear With a bang, like a blow of wood and stone, his right foot has already swept on the heel and shin of Mrs. Yiyi.
Mrs. Deyi continued to laugh wildly, she let out a loud exclamation, and rolled straight down the rock.
The voice was sharp, mournful, and lasted for a long time.
Nangong Ping wiped the cold sweat off his head with his hand, and looked down, only to see Mrs. Deyi, covered in sparks, jumping out of the flames, and ran frantically towards the place where the fire hadn't yet ignited.
Unexpectedly, she ran wildly for more than ten feet, and suddenly screamed again, and fell to the face, and then, her body was suspended upside down by a giant vine, and in an instant, she saw arrows in the dense leaves like locusts, shooting violently Then, half of the wooden arrows cut from dozens of branches hit her body.
Nangong Ping closed his eyes and sighed secretly, stared blankly for a while, then flew back towards the way he came, and shouted loudly: "Yinxue, Mei Yinxue, she has been ambushed by you, can you see it?"
He still had hope in his heart, if Mei Yinxue was trying to catch him just now, he should have rushed out after hearing his exclamation, but there was no response from the woods, naturally he would never think of Mei Yinxue again At this moment, he was already unconscious, so he called out loudly for a while, feeling both disappointment and grief in his heart, shouted loudly, and rushed into the woods.
He was in a state of panic, but he forgot that there were ambushes and traps everywhere in the woods, before he entered the forest a foot away, he tripped and fell, only to hear the sound of "hoo", a huge boulder fell straight down from the leaves Then, it hit him on the back with a slam, and he spat out a mouthful of blood again, fainting on the spot.
The sea breeze is strong, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger...
Seeing that in a short time, this uninhabited deserted island will turn into a sea of flames. Nangong Pingping and the three are still unconscious, but the shining flames are approaching inch by inch like ruthless waves. The tongue of flames is about to engulf the three of them in an instant. Although the grievances, hatred, and love between the three of them were endlessly entangled during their lifetime, they will be buried in the fire forever along with their lives and bodies at this moment. In the cave...
※※※
The sky is blue and thousands of miles long, and the sea is full of waves. A slanting sail is now on the edge of the sea and sky. The color of this sail is not yellow or white, but it is colorful and colorful. None of the sailors who have been at sea for many years has seen such a strange sail.
The painted pillars and carved beams on the boat, brocade mantles and bead curtains, are magnificent and eye-catching. The boatmen on the boat are all wearing colorful brocade clothes made of broken brocade and satin, and their short hair is shoulder-length. For women, it's just that everyone has strong muscles and bones, and their movements are delicate and strong. Compared with ordinary big men, they are still three points better.
A healthy woman with short hair stood on the side of the boat with her hands crossed, and suddenly called out: "Land!"
A young man in fine clothes in the cabin immediately leaned out from the heavy bead curtain, walked up to the healthy woman, looked around, but saw a land shadow in the distance, stretched his eyebrows, and waved: "Turn around!" Raise the rudder and sail at full speed!" The healthy woman on the boat responded impatiently, and the sailors who had been on the sea for a long time suddenly saw the land, and they were very excited.
From the bead curtain, there was a soft voice: "Did you really see the land?"
Two bright-eyed young girls with radiant faces walked out of the cabin side by side, one of them was wearing a thick and gorgeous dress, and he was also wearing a colorful brocade dress, with blue silk on his head, which was rolled up high, and the rings jingled, making endless noises in the wind , looks like a new bride.
The other person brushed his eyebrows lightly, without applying makeup, making him look slimmer.
These two people are clear and beautiful, although their costumes are different, but there is a forceful heroism in their brows, but the joy of the young woman in colorful clothes is not gone, but the eyes of the girl in Tsing Yi contain infinite resentment and anxiety.
The youth in Chinese clothes smiled back and said, "That's right, there is land ahead!"
The young woman in colorful clothes sighed softly, and said: "I wish this was the legendary 'Island of the Gods', and it would save me, a girl, from worrying all day long. I don't know how much weight I lost in a few days."
The young man in Chinese clothes said: "Not only is she worried, but I..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a puff of smoke rising into the sky from the island, and the young man in Chinese clothes changed his face and shouted: "The island is on fire!"
The young woman in colorful clothes said: "Since there is fire on the island, there must be people. Could it be that this isolated island is where the 'temple of the gods' is located!"
The girl in the green shirt raised her eyebrows, and a flush of excitement suddenly appeared on her indifferent face.
The young man in Chinese clothes raised his arms and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, the fire is spreading extremely fast on the deserted island, we must rush there before the fire spreads out, otherwise... otherwise..."
There seemed to be an ominous omen in his heart, but he glanced at the girl in green shirt and held back not to say it.
The big boat sailed with the wind, and it arrived at the shore in a short time. Before the boat landed, the young man in gorgeous clothes, the beautiful woman in colorful clothes, and the young girl in green clothes all jumped up and landed on the desert island like three Lingbo petrels. .
The girl in the blue shirt had the most anxious look on her face, she flew away along the fire forest when she touched a rock with her toes.
The young man in gorgeous clothes and the beautiful woman in colorful clothes showed their figures, jumped onto a dangerous rock, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone on the island?" But there was no response.
The beautiful woman in gorgeous dress frowned and said: "If there are people on the island, how come no one responds, it seems..."
Before the words were finished, the young man in Chinese clothes shouted suddenly: "Look, what's over there?"
The beautiful woman in gorgeous dress followed his fingers, and saw a figure swaying in the sky amidst the flames in the sky, and in the wild forest. They looked at each other, and the young man in gorgeous clothes suddenly took off his long gown and wrapped it around his head. The gorgeous woman changed color and said: "Dangerous, you..."
The young man in Chinese clothes clapped his palms lightly, and said with a smile, "I have never been afraid of danger in my life, what danger in the world can hurt me!"
Although he said it with a smile, his voice was full of pride and confidence.
The beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes sighed softly and said, "Go, be careful..."
The young man in Chinese clothes withdrew his wrist and pulled down a soft silver gun from his waist. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled up a piece of silver light and blossoming gun flowers. His vigorous figure jumped off the rock and fell into the forest of fire !
But seeing a ball of silver light, white flames pierced through the forest and the man, the beautiful woman in colorful clothes was full of concern, focusing on his figure.
The young man in Chinese clothes glanced around, and saw an ugly woman hanging upside down on a giant tree. Her body was dripping with blood, and her messy hair was hanging down long. There were already a few sparks on her hair. One step too late, and the woman would be burned to a scorched wood.
Without thinking about it, he tapped his toes and broke the thick vine hanging from the person. He took the woman's body with his arms, protected her body with silver light again, and flew out, rushing up the rock.
The gorgeously dressed woman suddenly slapped out her palms, and extinguished a few sparks on her body for him. She breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Didn't it burn you?"
The young man in Chinese clothes laughed loudly and said, "With this kind of fire, can it burn me?"
The beautiful woman in gorgeous dress showed her face and smiled and said: "Look at you, you always have such a fearless temper, when should you suffer some disadvantages!" Although the tone seemed coquettish, it was actually full of love and joy. Looking around, he said again: "Who is this woman? How did she look like this!"
The handsome young man said: "No matter who this person is, since there are people on the island, she will not be the only one. Otherwise, did she hang herself on the branch?"
The gorgeous woman said: "It would be wonderful to ask her, I wonder if she is dead?"
The youth in Chinese clothes looked at it for a while, and said: "Although he is not dead, he is almost there!..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the voice of the girl in green shirt come from afar, shouting: "Here, Nangong Ping, he...he is really here!"
The young man in fancy clothes and the beautiful woman in colorful clothes shook their bodies at the same time, and said with great joy: "She really found him!"
While speaking, the two of them flew towards the direction where the call came from, and ran for tens of feet, only to see the young girl in green clothes sitting on a protruding rock with a person in her arms, with With joy and tears, he shouted in panic, "Come on, he's hurt!"
The young man in fancy clothes and the beautiful woman in colorful clothes were shocked again, and blurted out in unison: "Is the injury serious?"
The girl in the blue shirt said: "It's a serious injury, but luckily it's just a traumatic injury. I've given him a few pills..."
The young man in Chinese clothes said: "I'll heal his wounds!" Putting down the body of the long-haired ugly woman - Mrs. Deyi, she pressed down on Nangong Ping's chest with two palms, and used her internal strength to help Nangong Ping activate blood and unblock the meridians, and spread the power of the medicine.
The beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes took out a scarf, wiped the tears from the face of the girl in green shirt, sighed and said: "Silly girl, I have found everyone, why are you crying?"
The girl in the green shirt said: "I...I don't cry, I'm so... so happy!"
She said she was not going to cry, but the tears still fell down one by one.
After a cup of tea, the young man in Chinese clothes was already sweating profusely, but Nangong Ping woke up leisurely. He turned his eyes and saw the three faces in front of him. Sorrow and surprise rushed into my heart at the same time, and I almost thought I was dreaming.
As soon as the green-clothed girl Qiubo touched Nangong Ping's gaze, her body couldn't help trembling, she lowered her head, and gently let go of the palm that was holding Nangong Ping tightly, joy and shyness glowed in her crystal clear eyes.
Nangong raised his hand gently, put it on the palm of the young man in fine clothes, and said with a sad smile: "Brother Di, it's been a lifetime since I saw you again after so many years."
The handsome young man looked up and said with a smile: "In the whole world, who can kill you and my brother? When I parted from you, it was already calculated that we will meet again!"
He looked up and smiled, just because he didn't want others to see the tears in his eyes. After many great changes, the old man finally reunited. The emotion and joy of this reunion was enough to make Tieshi Man burst into tears.
For a moment, Nangong Ping had mixed feelings, sighed, and didn't know what to say?
The beautiful woman in gorgeous dress swept her eyes and saw the resentment and disappointment on the girl's face. She turned her eyes and said with a sneer: "Nangong Ping, Miss Ye has worked so hard to find Yu Yu in thousands of mountains and rivers. You saved your life, didn't you see her?"
Nangong Ping was stunned for a moment, turned his gaze to the girl in blue, and said in a low voice: "Miss Ye, I'm here... I'm here..."
The girl in the green shirt forced a smile, and said faintly: "You are still injured, so it's better not to talk too much!"
Nangong Ping was agitated, and sighed a long time: "Miss Ye, I really don't know how to repay you!"
The young man in Chinese clothes laughed loudly and said: "You guys have such friendship, how can you say anything in return? Come, come, Brother Nangong, wait for my younger brother to introduce someone for you."
Nangong Ping took a look at the beautiful woman in gorgeous dress, and said slowly: "This... this..."
The handsome young man laughed and said, "This bride is your sister-in-law, my younger brother's wife..."
Nangong Ping was startled again, and said happily: "Brother Di, I really didn't expect Brother Di to get married, it's really gratifying."
It turned out that the young man in fine clothes was Di Yang, and the young girl in blue was Ye Manqing.
I only heard Di Yang laughing and said: "Although my little brother is not as good as you in other things, he is a step faster than you in getting married. If you don't want to be resigned to future generations, you should get married soon." Consciously or unconsciously, he glanced at Ye Manqing , turned his eyes, but saw that Nangong Ping's face suddenly became very sad and heavy, and said in a surprised voice: "Today you and I meet again, I should be happy, why..."
Nangong Ping smiled miserably, and said: "In this life, I will never dare to get married again."
Di Yang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly and said, "A man is not afraid of death, but is he afraid of getting married?"
Nangong sighed calmly: "It's just because my younger brother... has already been married!"
Ye Manqing was shocked, and Di Yang and the beautiful woman in colorful attire looked at each other, their expressions changed drastically. After a while, Di Yang forced himself to smile and said, "Oh... oh... Congratulations, brother Nangong, where is the sister-in-law, why..."
Nangong said calmly: "She...she..." Suddenly, she was filled with grief and indignation, uncontrollable, and laughed wildly: "She has already thrown back the promise I gave her, she already hates me to the bone, she I don't want to see me from now on, and I don't want to see her again from now on!"
※※※
Besides, when Mei Yinxue was in a coma, she felt that her whole body was unstoppably hot, she suddenly opened her eyes, but saw that the surrounding trees had almost turned into a sea of flames!
Shocked, she jumped up, gritted her teeth and scolded herself: "Mei Yinxue, Mei Yinxue, why did you faint? If Nangong Ping was even slightly hurt, would you still be able to live in this world?"
Her heart was anxious and painful, and she tossed and turned, Nangong Ping's shadow was everywhere.
She can sacrifice everything and endure everything. As long as she can be with Nangong Ping forever, even if she cuts off her hands and feet, she will still have a happy smile on her face.
Concerned about Nangong Ping's safety, she ran out of the fire forest, and was about to call out, but at this moment, her eyes moved, and she suddenly noticed many figures on a high rock in the distance , and Nangong Ping, whom she was deeply concerned about, was lying safely in the arms of another woman.
She recognized this woman as Ye Manqing, but in an instant, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, and suddenly retracted her body to hide herself.
Nangong Ping and Di Yang's conversation, she heard every word and every word in her ears, and heard the last two sentences: "...she doesn't want to see me from now on, and I don't want to see her again from now on!" She felt a sweetness in her throat , Heart pierced like a knife, secretly asked the sky: "Heaven, oh heaven, what mistake did I make to make me suffer such retribution and endure these pains?"
Seeing Nangong Ping laughing wildly, Di Yang and the other three were stunned on the spot, the beautiful woman in colorful clothes suddenly said coldly: "Since that woman is so ruthless to you, why are you still thinking about her so hard?"
Nangong Ping laughed suddenly, bowed his head and said: "I will never miss her again!..."
The gorgeous woman laughed and said: "If you don't miss him, you should be more affectionate to my sister from the Ye family. You must know how much she has suffered and suffered because of you?"
Nangong Ping sighed and murmured: "I know...how could I not know..."
Di Yang said with a smile: "It's good that you know, but after returning to the Central Plains, you can't let her down."
Nangong Ping only lowered his head and sighed, silent.
Hearing this, Mei Yinxue felt even more heartbroken, wanting to cry without tears, looking around, she saw Nangong Ping and Ye Manqing cuddling each other, relatively speechless, they really were a couple, but she was covered in rags, gradually Already haggard, she suffered so much because of Nangong Ping, but how many people in the world know?
She couldn't help shedding a few lines of tears in her eyes, and she thought to herself: "I already have the name of 'cold-blooded' in the world, and I will never be forgiven by others for what I have done, even him... he has said this now In other words, Ye Manqing is rightly related to him, they are both sons of famous families, if the two of them get married, people in the martial arts must be very envious and happy, and me...why should I bother to get in between the two of them , to be their stumbling block?"
One must know that her infatuation with Nangong Ping has reached the extreme, she only thinks of Nangong Ping in everything, forgetting about herself, she only knows that Nangong Ping is happy, she would rather endure the pain alone.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, turned around quietly, and prayed silently: "Xiaoping, I hope you... can... be... happy..." With tears streaming down her face, she flew away.
她飞身掠入一处洞窟，洞窟中有几件简陋的木制桌椅，几件粗糙的木器，还有些自船上取下的零星之物，日用器具。
就在这里，她曾经度过一连串凄苦寂寞的岁月，但是她却没有一刻忘记过南宫平。
就在这里，不知流过多少眼泪，但那时她心中还有希望，而此刻她却已完全绝望了。
外面火势更大，她没有停留，便向洞窟深处奔去，只因离岛的一切需要，她都早已准备好了，穿过一条阴森黝黯的山隙，外面是一处山口，四面高岩，中间一片浅滩，浅滩上平铺着数十根光滑的树木，那艘海船，便架在这片树木之上。
这便是她费了千辛万苦修船的地方，为了修船，她莹玉般的手掌已不知生出了多少厚茧。
她飞身撤去了船身两旁的支架，然后扯开捆着树木的枯藤。
那数十根光滑的树木，就一直往下滚动了起来，只听一阵隆隆之声，船身随着滚动的树木，落入海中，浮了起来。
梅吟雪一跃上船，扬起布帆，她孤独地来，此刻又孤独地去了，来时她没有带来什么，去时却带去了满心悲楚，满腹辛酸，满腔痛泪……
※※※
此时南宫平已能站起身来，但终是还要狄扬搀扶着他的手臂。
他也已知道那艳装美妇是“幽灵群丐”中“穷魂”依风之妹，“艳魄”依露。
原来那日“艳魄”依露将狄扬连夜带回关外的“狱下之狱”，狄扬毒势虽重，但有道是精诚所至，金石为开，依露终于将他救活，狄扬感激她的真心和恩情，便在“狱下之狱”里，和她结成了连理。
但狄扬侠骨热肠，却不愿久居关外，更悬念着关内的朋友，而依露久居关外，也想看一看江南的旖旎风光，风流文采。
于是两人联袂入关，却在太湖之滨，遇见了满怀幽怨、临风独泣的叶曼青。
狄扬本与叶曼青有旧，他为人最是热情，见到叶曼青伤心，便一心想寻着南宫平。哪知此刻江湖风传，南宫平已扬帆出海，所要去的地方，竟是武林中最神秘之处“诸神殿”！
他三人再三商议，决定要买舟出海，“幽灵群丐”名虽为丐，却甚是富豪，“穷魂”依风心爱幼妹，添妆之资，自然极多，他三人俱是热血少年，说做就做，当下便买了艘豪华的海船，“艳魄”依露更是少年心情，竟在海船上缀了她自己的标帜。
但海上经年，一无所获，他三人又是失望，又是焦急，哪知那一股浓烟，却为他们指出了南宫平的讯息。
他们三言两语，简略地将一切经过俱都告诉了南宫平，只是狄扬不愿触及南宫平的伤心之处，是以没有问起南宫平这年来的奇遇。
他只是扶起南宫平，笑着道：“此岛已不可久留，海上生活也早已使我厌倦，还是快些上船，回家去吧！”
语声未了，只听身后一声呻吟，依露笑道：“你们忘了这里还有一个人呢？'幽灵群丐'虽然又穷又丑，倒真还没有人比得上这女子的。”
南宫平心头一震，回首望去，道：“她……她竟然还没有死！……”
狄扬见到南宫平居然微微变色，心下大是诧异，脱口问道：“此人是谁？是敌是友？”
南宫平恨声道：“她害我三次，又救我一命，只是……只是我宁愿一死，也不愿被她救活。”
依露皱眉道：“她到底是谁？”
南宫平道：“得意夫人！”
狄扬、叶曼青齐地一怔！“艳魄”依露久居关外，却未曾听起过“得意夫人”的名字，忍不住笑道：“我看她实在没有什么值得'得意'之处，更没有半分像是'夫人'的样子，为什么竟然叫做'得意夫人'呢？”
狄扬也不回答，只管叹气道：“幸好她已死了九成，实已回天乏术，否则……唉，我真不知道该不该将她救活。”
要知见死不救，本是侠义道中之忌，但救了恶人，却岂非等于害了善人，是以他见到得意夫人实已无救，心里倒不觉有些放心。
哪知他话声方了，得意夫人竟已缓缓张开眼来，目光四下一扫，道：“南宫平，梅吟雪……梅吟雪她在哪里？”
南宫平咬紧牙关，闭口不语，狄扬、叶曼青齐地望了他一眼，恍然忖道：“原来梅吟雪也在岛上。”四只眼睛忍不住四下搜寻起来，要看梅吟雪是否真在这里。
得意夫人得不到他们的答复，不禁黯然叹息一声，道：“我一生横行江湖，一生中不知骗倒过多少英雄豪杰，大奸巨恶，想不到今日竟被这样一个小女子骗倒，梅吟雪呀梅吟雪，我总算服了你！”
她此刻说话已甚是吃力，但回光反照，竟一口气说到这里，方自闭起眼睛，喘了阵气。
“艳魄”依露冷笑道：“骗人者人恒骗之，你骗过别人，别人骗骗你又有何稀奇？”
得意夫人眼帘霍然一张，怒道：“你是什么东西，也敢在老娘面前得意。”
依露咯咯笑道：“你既不能得意，我得意得意有什么关系？”
得意夫人怒道：“她虽然骗过了我，但我在跃下山岩那一刹那里，便已看出了她的诡计。她故意装成对南宫平冷淡无情，其实不过只是想骗过老娘，等到老娘中计被擒，她再出来与南宫平相会。”
南宫平神色大变，狄扬皱眉道：“只怕你猜错了吧？”
得意夫人冷笑道：“老娘怎会猜错，她腹中有几根肠子，老娘都已摸得清清楚楚……”
她喘了口气，立刻接道：“她明知老娘万万不会加害南宫平，是以才敢诸多张致，以她那样的脾气，她若是真的已对南宫平绝情绝义，一见南宫平之面，便会绝袂而去，绝对不肯再多说话，她若是真的对南宫平怀恨在心，一见到南宫平之面，拼命也要将南宫平杀死，更不会将南宫平留在这里！”
南宫平想到梅吟雪的生性，听了得意夫人的言语，身子不禁微微颤抖起来，流泪道：“错了……错了……”
得意夫人道：“谁错了，谁若说我错了，便是他根本不知道那贱人的脾气……”
南宫平颤声道：“吟雪……我错怪了你……我错怪了你……”
得意夫人怔了一怔，道：“你……你……呆子，难道还不知道？”
南宫平泪流满面，有如呆子。
得意夫人切齿道：“我何必告诉你……让你恨死她岂非最好……”
语声未了，突地放声狂笑起来，嘶声笑道：“梅吟雪……好妹子……你再也想不到吧，普天之下，竟只有我一人是你的知己……”
狂笑声中，这武林中的一代妖姬，突地双眼一翻，全身抽搐，结束了她充满罪恶的一生。
她虽死，但是她那讥讽而得意的笑声，却仿佛仍然回荡在众人耳边……
众人面面相觑，谁也说不出话来，良久良久，叶曼青垂首道：“她是对的……对的……”
南宫平突地大喝一声，挣脱了狄扬的手掌，嘶声道：“她一定还在这里……”脚步踉跄，竟要向火林中奔去。
狄扬大惊，一把抓住了他臂膀，南宫平嘶声道：“放开我，我一定要找着她……”
依露目光一转，道：“她若还在岛上，怎地不出来见你？”
叶曼青幽幽长叹一声，道：“她必定又遇着什么变故……”
依露嘟了嘟嘴，心中暗气，忖道：“我是帮你说话，你倒帮她说起话来了，真是个呆头鹅。”要知她与梅吟雪素不相识，自然一心想帮着叶曼青和南宫平结为连理，只因叶曼青的痛苦相思，她都是亲眼看到的。
南宫平望着满林烈焰，颤声道：“变故……变故……”树林已成了一片火海，他还是想冲进去。
突见一个锦衣健妇飞步而来，满头汗珠，大道：“姑爷、姑娘，出路也要被烈火封死了，再不离岛，就来不及了。”
狄扬面色凝重，沉声道：“站在一边，不要多话。”
那锦衣健妇应了，却仍咕嘟着道：“别人都乘船走了，姑娘你……”
狄扬面色一变，脱口道：“谁乘船走了？你看到了什么？”
锦衣健妇道：“方才我爬到船桅上，本想看看这岛上的光景，哪知只看到岛的那边，驶出一条大船，这岛上却全被烈火掩住……”
狄扬变色截口道：“船上是什么人？你可看清了么？”
锦衣健妇道：“那艘船顺风而驶，一会儿就走得远远的，连船都看不清，船上的人，怎看得清，我惦记姑娘，忍不住跑了上来。”
狄扬、依露、叶曼青三人面面相觑，心中不约而同地暗忖道：“梅吟雪走了！”六道目光一齐望向南宫平，只见他面如死灰，木立当地，身子摇了两摇，竟又张口喷出一口鲜血，晕厥过去。
狄扬拦腰抱起了他，长叹道：“走吧！”
叶曼青望了望得意夫人的尸身，竟也将尸身抱了起来。
依露皱眉道：“脏死了，你抱她作甚？”
叶曼青叹道：“将她抛入海里，好歹让她落个全尸！”
众人谁也不愿在这荒岛上多留一刻，齐地展动身形，掠到岩边，直到他们上船之后，仍没有人愿意回头望上一眼。
海船扬帆而驶，片刻间便远离了这孤独的海岛，海岛上烈火仍炽，却也没有人再去关心它了。
叶曼青点起三炷线香，香烟缭绕中，他将得意夫人的尸身裹上白绫，抛入海里，暗中叹息自语：“多谢你救过南宫平一次，让我还能见着他，但愿你鬼魂能永远在海底安息。”
水花四溅，尸体沉没，叶曼青垂首走回船舱，狄扬夫妇正在照料着南宫平的伤势。
南宫平终于渐渐痊愈，这艘船却在海上四下搜寻，一来是希望能看到梅吟雪的船影，再来却期冀能发现龙布诗和南宫永乐的下落，这两个老人恩怨纠结一生，却只到最后，才彼此说明，苍天若教他两人死在一起，岂非作弄世人太过。
船行一月，方自回航，南宫平已换上一身重孝，终日不言不语，别人说话，他也仿佛没有听到！
狄扬等三人自是忧心如焚，却也无法可施，只有在暗中希望时间能冲淡他的痛苦和悲哀。
船人近海，往来船只，便多了起来，别人见了如此奇怪的帆船，都忍不住多看几眼，但却以为这艘船有些古怪，是以谁也不敢驶近，远远看上几眼，立刻就转舵而驶。
狄扬测量方向，估量行程，知道毋庸多久，便可靠岸，心情不觉有些欢畅起来，这一日正值月圆，海上明月千里，他备好一些酒菜，摆在船头，饮酒赏月，南宫平眼睛望着月亮，口里喝着烈酒，却仍是一语不发，有如老僧人入定一般。
依露忍不住轻唤一声，道：“南宫兄，我实在佩服你，三十多天来，你一言不发，若换了是我，三天不说话就要疯了！”
南宫平也不望她一眼，年余的幽居，使得他学会了世上最难学的本领——沉默，只是将痛苦隐藏在沉默里，痛苦却更加深邃。
狄扬哈哈一笑，道：“妹子，我说你倒是真该学学南宫兄才是。”
依露娇嗔道：“怎么，我说话难道说得太多了么？”
狄扬嘻嘻笑道：“不多不多……你睡觉的时候，的确说话不多，但醒来的时候……”嘻嘻一笑，住口不语。
依露自然娇嗔不依，他两人打情骂俏，为的不过只是要散一散别人的心，哪知南宫平面上再无一丝笑容。
叶曼青看到别人夫妻的恩爱，想到自己身世的孤苦，更是满心酸楚，愁眉不展。
狄扬见到他两人的神情，哪里还笑得出来，暗暗叹息一声，极目四望，银色的月光下，竟有一面白帆，迎面而来。
两船迎面而驶，越来越近，那艘船非但没有退避之意，而且还仿佛是专门为了他们这艘船来的。
狄扬心中大是惊奇，喃喃道：“这难道是艘海盗船么，否则……”
依露展颜笑道：“我倒真希望有条海盗船来，好歹也可以热闹一阵，这些天真闷死了。”
狄扬目注前方，片刻间那艘来船已到近前，船头卓立着一条蓝衣汉子，手里展动着一条白巾，大呼：“来船上可是狄扬公子贤伉俪么？在下有事奉访，请落帆相会！”
狄扬双眉一皱，大奇道：“我们船还未到，此人怎会知道我在船上？”
思忖之间，依露却已扬声呼道：“不错，朋友是谁，有何见教？”
对面船上，已落下帆来，船行立缓，船头的长衫汉子摇手道：“但请落帆，在下这就过来。”
狄扬心念数转，挥手道：“落帆，打桨，定舵，减速！”四下哄然应了，“砰”的一声落下了船帆，两艘船渐行渐缓，渐缓渐近。
那长衫汉子腾身一跃，砰地落在船头，目光四扫，凝神盯了南宫平几眼。
狄扬双眉一皱，沉下面色，厉声道：“狄某与朋友素不相识，朋友怎会知道狄某在这船上？”
长衫汉子微微一笑，目光霍然自南宫平身上收回，躬身道：“狄公子贤伉俪置棹泛海，武林中早已轰传，公子你这面七色锦帆还远在百里之外时，岸上的武林朋友便知道公子泛海归来，在下见到这面锦帆，还会不知道狄公子贤伉俪的侠驾在这船上？”言语便捷，目光敏锐，竟仿佛又是“万里流香”任风萍一流人物。
狄扬冷“哼”一声，沉声道：“朋友如此注意在下夫妻，是为什么？”
长衫汉子微微一笑，也不回话，双掌“啪”的互击一下，那艘船上，立刻悬起了十数根竹竿，竿头钓着竹篮，隔船送了过来，长衫汉子躬身笑道：“我家主人知道狄公子伉俪久泛海上，饮食难免欠缺，是以特地命在下兼程送来一些鲜肉蔬菜，为狄公子伉俪换一换口味。”
狄扬沉声道：“你家主人是谁？”
依露轻轻一笑，接口道：“他倒真孝顺得很。”
长衫汉子满面笑容，第二句话他只当没有听到，笑道：“在下主人现已在岸边恭候两位侠驾，两位一见便知道了。”倒退几步，躬身一礼，转身掠回他自己的船上。
狄扬朗声道：“朋友你若不说出你家主人的名姓，这礼物狄某是万万不能收的。”
长衫汉子仍是满面笑容，道：“公子一见便知，我家主人只是令我传语公子，故人无恙归来，他实在高兴得很。”
那船上船夫身手甚是精熟，就只这几句话工夫，便已转舵驶开。
狄扬低叱道：“追！”心念转处，突又叹息道：“不追也罢。”
依露笑道：“对了，人家孝顺的东西，你推也推不掉的，追他作什么？”
打开那十几只竹篮，篮中果然都是些鲜肉蔬菜，依露叹了口气，道：“可惜……”突地举起篮子，将十余篮鲜肉蔬果都抛入海中。
狄扬展颜笑道：“我只当你嘴馋起来，就舍不得丢了！”
依露笑道：“我就馋成这副样子么？我倒要你猜猜，他那主人究竟是谁？是敌是友？”
狄扬道：“也许是敌，也许是友，说不定……”
依露截口笑道：“说不定还是个千娇百媚的大美人呢？是吗？”
狄扬笑道：“说不定又是什么帮帮主的妹子看中了我，特地送些东西，来拍我的马屁。”
依露顿足娇嗔道：“你要死了，叶家妹子，快帮我来撕他这张油嘴。”
这夫妻两人俱是一般生性，无论说什么严重之事，却不肯板起面孔说话，心里纵然有千百件心事，面上仍是嬉皮笑脸。
此刻他两人面上虽仍在打情骂俏，其实心中都是惊异交集，只因这长衫汉子虽然满面笑容，但在笑容后隐藏的来意是善是恶，却实在令人难测。
他两人计议了一夜，除了静观待变，也研究不出什么计策！
哪知第二日清晨，他两人方自立在船头，却竟然又有一片风帆迎面驶来，狄扬沉声道：“昨夜那长衫汉子，今日若再上到这艘船上，嘿嘿！他就要来得去不得了。”
依露轻笑道：“好一个来得去不得。”
两艘船又自驶近，狄扬不等那边说话，便先已落帆、定舵，立在船头，朗声笑道：“朋友你来得倒早，请过来这边说话！”
那边船上果然遥遥呼道：“来的可是狄扬公子贤伉俪么？”
狄扬仰天笑道：“除了我夫妇，海上船只，还有谁会有这七色锦帆，朋友，你岂非问得多余了。”
风重舟轻，瞬息间两舟相近，只见对面船头，亦卓立着一条长衫大汉，但却绝非昨日寒暄送礼的长衫人。
这长衫大汉神情更是恭敬，送的礼也更见丰盛，狄扬口中不语，心中却大是奇怪，只听依露已忍不住问道：“昨日方蒙厚赠，今日又送了礼来，你家的帮主，也未免太客气了些。”
长衫大汉愕了一愕，陪笑道：“敝帮今日才得到狄大侠贤伉俪重转中原的消息，便即刻赶来了。”
依露道：“昨日不是你们么？”
长衫大汉摇头沉吟，依露道：“你家帮主是谁，可以说出来么？”
长衫大汉道：“贤伉俪一到岸上，便知道了。”竟也不肯说出帮主的姓名，匆匆离船而去。
狄扬夫妇面面相觑，心里更是奇怪，依露笑道：“这算做什么？常言道君子不受非来之物，我们虽然不是君子，但这些没有来历的东西，还是吃不得的。”照样将礼物全都抛入了海中。
他夫妇二人，想来想去，也想不出这些送礼的人究竟是谁，为什么要送来这些礼物，却又偏偏不肯说出姓名来历。
哪知未过多久，竟又来了一艘江船，送来了许多新鲜的蔬果，送礼的人，也是身穿长衫、故作斯文的江湖豪士，送完了礼，也是躬身一礼，匆匆而去，绝不肯透露一点姓名来历。
由清晨到下午，一共来了四批送礼的人，一个比一个客气，送的礼也一个比一个丰盛，但却也没有一人肯说出自己的来历，几乎都是异口同声地说：“贤伉俪到了岸上，便知道了，小的不敢多嘴！”除此之外，什么都不肯说了。
最怪的是，这些人和狄扬夫妇俱是素不相识，而且彼此之间，也没有来历
