The door of the Linfeng Pavilion opened, and the papaya was yawning and walking out sleepily, stopping as soon as she stepped out of the door. A group of men and horses gathered outside the door, as if they had been waiting for this place for a long time.

The shiny and smooth fur, the sturdy hooves were impatiently stabbing the ground, the horse in front of him snorted, the sound was so loud that the papaya shuddered, and his steps involuntarily retreated, almost falling, he raised his head, looked at the man on the horse, licked his lips, cleared his throat, but was obviously frightened and lacked confidence.

"Guest...... Is the guest officer going to be sharpened or staying in the hotel......"

"Stay. Liu Shaokang bent down on the horse, leaned his head to the papaya and whispered: "Annoying the second brother, pull the horse to tie up, we have to live here for a while, and we don't want too many people to disturb us." The head gestured slightly, Qiu Yan beside him took out a bag from his arms and threw it at the papaya, the papaya subconsciously went to pick it up, and was startled by the heaviness of the hand, and opened the bag and glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"There are too many people and there is a panic, and the little second brother knows what to do. Liu Shaokang smiled and jumped off the horse, threw the reins into the papaya's hand, and entered the door.

Papaya held the brocade bag in one hand and the reins in the other, and before he could come back to his senses, the group of people had quietly walked past him, and when he wanted to speak, there was no one in sight when he turned around.

With a slight slide of the Adam's apple, Papaya pulled open the strap of the bag and looked at it, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva and raised his voice: "Little Bean, come and help unload the saddle-"

Xiaojiu was sitting listlessly in front of the window in a daze, suddenly heard the noise of the stable, looked down, couldn't help but be startled, got up and ran downstairs, just happened to meet Fu Li Liu Shaokang and others to welcome upstairs, she stood aside, saw that so many people came early in the morning, my heart sighed, thinking of the little marquis's instructions before leaving, I couldn't help but secretly take it to heart.

"Such a majestic horse. Little Beanzi looked at the red horse and praised, "It's like the horse in our backyard." ”

"yes. Papaya poured the hay into the hay trough, nodded and said: "It's really similar, but the color is slightly different, the horse in the backyard is slightly darker, but the appearance is so majestic, I think this master is also extremely rich." ”

"What's the situation?" Xiaojiu went to the stable, looked at the horse, took a closer look, stretched out his hand to touch, but was frightened back by the horse's impatient shake of his head, and the papaya saw it and hurriedly raised his voice: "Little shopkeeper be careful, this horse is not as docile as Gongzi's horse, and I was so frightened by it that I almost fell." ”

Xiaojiu retracted his hand, looked at the stable, and said, "There are so many horses, they must not be from the neighborhood, they came to stay so early, I think they came overnight, but what do you say, how long do you want to stay?"

Only then did the papaya think of the deposit they had given, and took out the bag from her bosom and handed it to Xiaojiu, who opened it and was shocked to herself, what a big deal she had come! She looked up at the papaya and asked, "What did they say?"

"Said that he wanted to stay in the hotel, and said that he didn't want too many people to disturb him, and wanted to come to our inn, but he didn't say it explicitly, the person who took the lead was not very old, but thirty, and he spoke with a smile, but he ......" Papaya's body trembled, and he said a little uncomfortably: "But it always makes people feel cold and oppressive." ”

Xiaojiu didn't speak, only concentrating on the person who went upstairs, there was a person wearing a blue Yunxiang talisman bat pattern gown, with a jade belt tied around his waist, and a transparent jade pendant faintly appeared under the white mantle, and the snow-white fox fur on the hood was shiny, and at a glance he knew that it was the best, why did such a person appear in this small city of Jinling? They want to stay in the hotel, I don't think it will be so simple to pass by, then, they may also come to that person!

What should I do? This small Jinling City is now full of unknown people, except for those who search the city by borrowing the words of ghosts and gods at night, there are also many new faces wandering in the city during the day, and I don't know if it is the same group of people, and now there is such a group of people, I don't know what people will appear in the future, it is really frightening, restless. Grabbing the bag in his hand, Xiaojiu looked up at the second floor, and gradually frowned.

"Master!" Mo Yuan handed the teacup to Liu Shaokang, glanced outside the door, and said softly: "The code has been done, General Meng will come to see the master when he sees it." ”

"There's a big problem with this store, look and see. Liu Shaokang took a sip of tea carelessly, then stretched his waist and said, "Someone came to wake me up." ”

"Yes!" Mo Yuan stepped back and gently closed the door.

After experiencing an unprecedented heavy blow, Jinling City has returned to the tranquility of the past, but now the faces of the people have a little more fear and despair of life, not long ago that afternoon, the bloody Xia Yuan Festival has been deeply imprinted on the hearts of many people, the blood stains on the street can be washed away, can be covered by the heavy snow, but the scars in the heart can never be erased.

The peddlers cowered and shouted, their eyes fixed on the passers-by, as if they were afraid that in the next second, those seemingly harmless faces as harmless as themselves would stab their swords into their chests, and when innocent people, even still immature children, fell one by one on the streets, all the qiē was no longer credible!

Life, this is life, this is the life of the enslaved and ruled people who are struggling to survive at the bottom line! The county guard was removed from his post and investigated, and the guards of the Xiangguo Mansion who had washed the city of Jinling in blood were wanted and pursued, but more than 400 lives, those families that were shattered because they had lost their husbands, mothers, or children, all of them had been completely and completely ruined, and they could never go back!

"What is he doing?" asked as he walked up behind Xi Hao, stretched out his hands to hug him tightly, rested his chin on his neck, and looked at the two dough in the snow.

"I'm talking to the little snow fox. Xi Hao hugged his arms tightly into his lingering arms, looked at the flawless in the snow with him, and said softly: "Let him go, if he doesn't find something to do, he will go crazy." ”

Lan Mian couldn't help but sigh, lowered his head, buried his face in Xi Hao's neck socket, and murmured: "He is about to lose it, Xi Hao, his heart is no longer here at all, these days I pressed on his acupuncture points, looking at his bruises and dense needle eyes, I felt that the pain was unbearable, but he always smiled and said to me, 'It's okay, I don't hurt', I think, it's because the pain in my heart has numbed him and has become insensible......"

We all know how sensitive his five senses are, but he swallows this bitterness silently, as if he ...... It seems that in this way, he can be better......" Xi Hao leaned into his arms, closed his eyes gently, and couldn't say any more.

Flawless kneeling on the snow, watching the snow fox run around, from time to time to turn in front of him, that defenseless feeling made him feel very happy, every time the little snow fox fell down because of too fast, he couldn't help but laugh happily;

It's not that it doesn't hurt, but that it has to be endured.

The clothes faded, and when the bruised body lay under his fingers, Xi Hao's heart twitched involuntarily.

Pressing on the acupuncture points that were repeated every day, feeling a slight tremor from the person under him, Xi Hao knew that he was desperately enduring it.

"Flawless. ”

"Yes. ”

"When it hurts, I speak out. ”

"It doesn't hurt!"

still responded so softly, and then silently, Xi Hao looked at the man, and tears fell uncontrollably. Flawless lay on his stomach quietly, and after a long time, he said, "Do you want to enter the city tomorrow?"

"Well, it's time to make up for it, you've eaten less these days, let him buy some pastries and come back. ”

"I want to go together. ”

With a pause in his fingertips, Xi Hao looked at the flawless, then lowered his eyes downwards and continued to press the acupuncture points.

"Bai Yan said that you are not allowed to go out of the valley. ”

"I feel like I'm going to suffocate......" The voice was very soft, but it was the most real feeling of that person, Xi Hao's hands slowly paused, looking at the flawless bare back, feeling his kind of hidden pain, and suddenly he couldn't breathe.

Footsteps came through the door, reached the bed, and then stood beside the two of them.

Looking at Flawless's slender body, thinking about the situation when he knelt in the snow and frolicked with the snow fox in the afternoon, Lingering suddenly agreed: "Okay, you go with me tomorrow." ”

"Lingering!" Xi Hao raised his head and shouted, but lingering just looked flawless, his eyes full of pity, and then said to Xi Hao: "I will pay attention to his safety." ”

The lingering answer made Flawless sober up instantly, thinking of the bloody case caused by his own exit from the valley last time, his heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "Don't go!"

Seeing that he suddenly repented, his face was instantly ugly, and he glanced at Xi Hao, knowing that he must have thought of the Jin Ling tragedy, and felt guilty in his heart, which added to his troubles, so he smiled slightly: "It's okay, the right to relax, let's change our faces, buy some necessities, you go and take a look at the pen and ink, your calligraphy and paintings have accumulated so much, do you want to take it to the shop to sell, so you can make a living." ”

"Poof-" Xi Hao was still frowning and worried, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words of lingering, flawless glanced back at lingering, and said, "It's okay, let's see if someone can see it, go and choose a few good ones to send to Qiuyuezhai." ”

"Good!"

Xi Hao thought that Lang Mian was joking, but when he saw that the two of them were answering each other like a stream, and Lang Mian really turned around and went to the table to pick up paintings, he shook his head a little dazed, as if he wanted to sober himself up, and saw that Lang Mian was picking carefully, and finally couldn't help but say: "Do you really want to take the calligraphy and paintings to sell?"

"That's right. Flawless still lay on his stomach and replied softly: "The owner of Qiuyuezhai is very good, and he has also helped me sell calligraphy and paintings before." ”

"But...... Your own wealth is innumerable...... Selling calligraphy and painting ......" Xi Hao is a little messy, in his impression, Flawless never worries about food and clothing, and the kind of thing that sells calligraphy and painting seems to only appear on the body of a down-and-out scholar. Flawless listened to his tone, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "When I came to Jin Ling before, I lived in the city for a period of time, and I couldn't take away the calligraphy and paintings, so I let Xian Yi burn them every few days, and I didn't expect to be seen by the boss of Qiu Yuezhai, he said that the flawless calligraphy and painting are extremely high, and can be sold at a good price, Xian Yi was naughty at the time, and actually let him take a few to sell, but he didn't expect to sell out, and the boss took in more than a dozen orphans at that time, so we gave him all the silver." ”

"What do you mean, let him take the painting and sell it again, and then give him the silver two to do good deeds, right?" Xi Hao finally understood, nodded flawlessly and said: "Things are dead things, if you can create value and help others, why not." ”

Xi Hao suddenly realized, and the corners of his lips raised and smiled: "Just like me, if you fall down one day, you can still treat people and make a living." He was originally joking, but when he heard it, his face changed greatly, he turned around and glared, and said: "What you say, you are down, and there is me, no matter how you turn, it will not be your turn to worry about your livelihood." ”

Seeing that he was angry, Xi Hao stuck out his tongue, and did not argue with him, reached out to open the silver needle capsule and began to prick the needle for Flawless. After picking for a while, he chose a few brightly colored paintings, took the tassels and bundled them, and put them on the table.

On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, Xian Yi pulled Flawless out of the quilt, first layers of clothes, robes, cloaks, and then scarves, hand cages, Flawless stood in place and she tossed for a while, and finally couldn't help but drop the hand cage, and said: "It's inconvenient to wear such a thick up and down the cliff, you still toss these vigorously, it's hard to let the lingering carry me back and forth." ”

Lingering has already changed his appearance, ready for a qiē, and when he entered the room and saw the flawless posture, he couldn't help but smile: "Fortunately, you are slim, and your clothes are so thick in winter, you don't need to be too particular, but this robe has to be changed." After speaking, he handed a set of thick robes in his hand to Xianyi, Xianyi shook it open and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, and when he saw it, he frowned, and said, "Don't wear it!"

Only then did he slowly straighten his clothes and said: "You are dressed like this, if you are dressed in men's clothes, when you enter the city, people will be staring, your daughter's family is afraid of the cold in winter, no matter how much you wear, you want to attract attention?"

"Don't go!" Flawless suddenly turned around, reached out to untie the strap of the cloak, and was making a commotion, Xi Hao ran into the door with an excited face, stuffed a note into Flawless's hand, and said: "Remember to help me bring back the medicinal materials on the list, lingering alone can't bring so many things, I wanted to follow, but it's so troublesome up and down, you go with lingering, and I will save my worry." After Xi Hao finished speaking, seeing that the flawless cloak had also been taken off and the bun was scattered, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and blinked and said, "What's the matter?

Flawless looked at the list in his hand, then looked at the picture scroll arranged on the table, and then looked at the lingering who raised his eyebrows and refused to compromise, he breathed helplessly, sat down on the stool, and said with a sigh of relief: "Xianyi combs her hair in a bun." ”

The slightly cool human skin mask covered the face, and then carefully sorted out every detail, and when the flawless looked back at the bronze mirror, she was already an ordinary-looking, featureless girl.
