Apricot blossoms can make wine, apricots can quench thirst, and Apricot Blossom Village has always been a place called a paradise.

Uncle Zhao looked at Xinglin, his eyes were moist, his lips were pursed, and he didn't say a word after all.

But he didn't want to stop the carriage by the apricot grove and said to the old man beside him, "Uncle Zhao, Madam wants to eat a few apricots, I'll pick some, Madame, you can take care of it more." ”

Uncle Zhao responded, Xingxiu walked into the depths of the apricot forest, and Uncle Zhao got off the bus and stood on the side, watching the movement on both sides of the road.

When he turned around, he saw that the curtain of the carriage had been lifted from the inside, and the hunchbacked old man looked at his granddaughter who showed his little head, and said busily, "Go back quickly, what is the excitement?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the voice of the lady inside, "It's okay, I asked her to go out, if you like it, go pick some, and we won't give you silver." ”

When Lao Zhao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes." "Randomly got out of the carriage with two children in his arms. After turning around, Tao Ziyuan walked out of the carriage, did not get out of the carriage, but sat in the front of the carriage, looked at the two children who were still waiting for him, and said with a smile, "Wen Bai, take Xiaochun with you." ”

Lu Wenbai arched his hand, turned around and took the girl's hand into the apricot forest.

The boy who took off his tattered clothes and put on high-quality clothes is more like a young man from a scholarly family.

Tao Ziyuan half-squinted, waited until the figures of the two people entered the apricot forest, and said lightly, "Lao Zhao, that boy is not from Xinglin Village." ”

Lao Zhao opened his mouth, a little unbearable, "Madam, this child is also a hard-working person, his family is a scholarly family in Zhangcheng, Lu Yuanwai is a rare good person, but he made a feud with the landlord surnamed Li, and ended up with a broken family, not long ago, when we went north, the old man saw that he was helpless and pitiful, so he has been taking it." ”

Tao Ziyuan looked at the old man and said calmly, "But you can't even afford to raise yourself, and you have an extra child, what do you want?"

Lao Zhao grinned and said, "The old man just wants to send the two children to Yandu, so that the children can be companions in the future, no matter how difficult the world is, as long as someone helps each other, it will always be better." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped his eyes, and said in a daze, "But to tell the truth, if you don't meet Mrs. again, the old man will really sell that girl and be a maid for a rich and noble family, and you will always be able to eat enough." ”

Tao Ziyuan looked at the hunchbacked old Zhao, and did not pierce his mind, left and right to see that the child had a good heart, if he was out of luck in the future, Zhao Chun would also have a good life.

After all, if it really goes on, who can bear to sell their own granddaughter?

Tao Ziyuan didn't feel that the old man was ruthless, nor did he feel how deep his mind was, and it was inevitable that he would have to plan for himself, for his relatives, and for the people he cared about.

The apricot grove next to it is full of fruit, and the fruit growers usually set up stalls in the city to sell their fruits at this time, but this year, it seems that there is no one.

Tao Ziyuan sat on the side of the car and didn't speak, and Lao Zhao naturally didn't take the initiative to speak uninterestingly.

With a gentle breeze on his face, Lao Zhao suddenly realized that he had not felt like he had been breathless by the heat for a long time, as if he had started since yesterday, and he always felt that his surroundings were cool and cool.

Suspiciously, he glanced at Tao Ziyuan next to him, Lao Zhao pursed his somewhat chapped lips and said nothing.

The road in Xinglin Village was dusty, and the sound of horses' hooves was gradual, Lao Zhao looked back, but there was a strong hatred in his eyes in an instant.

These are the people who helped the landlord to fight for the tiger.

Feeling the abnormal aura on Lao Zhao's body, Tao Ziyuan turned around and looked at the two horses that happened to be running towards this side.

Tao Ziyuan said with some regret, "It's only two people." ”

Lao Zhao looked at the lady in the carriage in surprise, yesterday he realized that the water dragon was the masterpiece of this lady, thinking that it might be a master of occult arts, but the two people in front of him also knew some occult arts, to prevent Tao Ziyuan from suffering a loss, Lao Zhao still reminded softly, "Madam, these two people are the right-hand men around the landlord Li Shan, and they will have some secret skills to move mountains, and these people are not good for Mrs. Shangtong, just send some silver, but we picked other people's apricots first." ”

The two people on the other side had already ridden to the side, raised their horsewhips and said coldly, "Where did you come from something that doesn't understand the rules, don't you know what kind of place this is? You dare to touch the apricot forest without permission, you are tired of it! Why don't you call your people out and apologize to my master! Compensate my master for his losses!"

Tao Ziyuan looked at Lao Zhao, completely ignoring the questioning of the two people sitting on the horse, blinked his eyes, and said with a chuckle,

"Lao Zhao, the rules are to be talked about with those who talk about the rules, and there is no need to talk about the rules to deal with those who don't talk about the rules. ”

Lao Zhao was stunned, and the people on the horse were obviously very unhappy with Tao Ziyuan's neglect, and another person who was white and pure like a scholar said gloomily,

"Since Madame doesn't plan to call someone out herself, then our brother has to do it himself. ”

As he spoke, an iron claw slashed through the air and probed into the apricot forest, Lao Zhao anxiously looked at the lady next to him, who just smiled faintly, as if he had become a clay man bodhisattva with no temper.

And the other middle-aged man with a flute on his face just glanced coldly at the guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and ignored it.

Soon, the white-faced scholar's face changed, and the middle-aged man who noticed the strangeness frowned slightly and looked at the scholar,

"What's wrong?"

The white-faced scholar gritted his teeth and said, "My iron claw was blocked by something, it stands to reason that the things here are already clean, how can anyone stop my iron claw?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment, looked at the woman smiling lightly in the carriage, and said in a deep voice, "It's you?"

Tao Ziyuan smiled lightly and was silent.

The white-faced scholar was reminded by the middle-aged man, and immediately looked at the one where he barely felt any signs of occultism on her.

But how did she do it?

The white-faced scholar sneered and said, "You're determined to do the right thing with us, aren't you?"

Tao Ziyuan still didn't answer, just looked at the hunchbacked old Zhao who was blocking in front of him.

Even if his strength is small, it seems that he will not let himself die in front of him.

Tao Ziyuan hooked the corners of her lips, and the smile in her eyes was a little more real.

"Lao Zhao, for the sake of you standing in front of me, that girl Mrs. Ben accepted it,"

Lao Zhao hasn't reacted yet, but he feels that the girl finally has a place to settle for her life, and the idea of desperately trying to save the people behind her is even stronger.

Being ignored again and again by the woman, the white-faced scholar sneered, and said no more, with a wave of his hand, the iron claw that went out was retracted, and the next moment he approached the hunchbacked old man, since you want to be a loyal servant so much, Lao Tzu will send you to Huangquan Road as a companion!

The hunchbacked old Zhao's eyes widened, with fear in his eyes, but he insisted on not taking a step.

He wondered if he was dead, and the ghost claw would be able to stop, and when the young man returned, perhaps the people behind him and his children would be saved.

The bone-shattering iron claw stopped in front of the hunchbacked old man's door, and no further step was allowed to take a step, and behind the iron claw was surrounded by a ball of water glowing with blue light.

Lao Zhao trembled his legs, and he felt cold on the hot day, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, chest and back, palms and feet.

The middle-aged man looked at the woman behind the hunchbacked old man in surprise, he didn't see him make a move, but he easily controlled the ghost's iron claw, you must know that even Yan Feng of the Wind Wave Pavilion could barely resist the iron claw.

Was this a coincidence, or was this woman more powerful than they could have imagined?

The middle-aged man looked at the ghost who was struggling to retract the iron claw but was unsuccessful, "This woman is a bit evil, I'll give it a try." ”

The ghost gritted his teeth hatefully and nodded, and the middle-aged man on the other side patted the horse's back, and the whole person jumped into the air, and in the next moment, his fists went straight to the woman like a meteor hammer.

There was no wind, but there was a ghostly scream in his ears, and this painful sound was only heard by the hunchbacked old man when he saw someone being Ling Chi in the vegetable market.

It was when he was young, and Zhangcheng at that time was still a place where the sky was bright, there were Qing officials, there were capable officials, and the lives of the people below were much better than now.

The hunchbacked old man who heard that voice was frightened and fell seriously ill.

At this moment, the hunchbacked old man's body was still trembling, and he had lost the ability to walk and move, but he just watched in a daze as the pair of fists like burning boulders attacked the people behind him.

Heart...... It was as if it was about to explode.

Suddenly, the fist in the air stopped moving, as if it had hit a wall, and could not get any closer than half a step, stopping at a distance of one step from the woman.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground, but his face was shocked.

At that moment just now, although he couldn't move, he didn't feel like he was facing a hard wall, but more like something wrapped around his hands and removed the momentum from his hands, otherwise, if he really hit and couldn't move, his hands would definitely shatter.

Before the middle-aged man could raise his head, Tao Ziyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, chuckled and said, "I'm more interested in the flute on your waist, give it a try?"

Before the middle-aged man could answer, the white-faced scholar named Ghost Snake had already taken the first step and said, "Chixia, use your Dream Snatcher Flute!"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, looked at the woman who was not afraid at all, but had a playful face, stood up but did not take out the flute on his waist, but knelt on one knee under the surprised gaze of the white-faced scholar, and hugged his fist with his hands.

"Madame's ability is above the two of us, and Madame Fang's subordinates are merciful, so that Chixia can save these hands. Walking the rivers and lakes, but a righteous word, today's matter Chixia can bear it for Mrs., and ask Mrs. to leave this place with people. ”

The hunchbacked old man blinked, these two people were both capable people outside Li Yuan, if he couldn't see that the lady he met halfway was a master, it would really be decades of living in vain.

Tao Ziyuan smiled lightly and said, "You are a kind person. But...... I didn't say that I wouldn't give the silver, but I picked a few apricots and someone wanted to kill me.

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the woman in front of him to be so ignorant, but he didn't say anything, and at the same time, he stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Stinky girl, don't know what to do!" My brother has already given you face, if you don't want to give face, don't blame the brothers for being ruthless...... Ahh

Before he finished speaking, the ghost on the horse was blown off the horse by a gust of wind, and it didn't matter if he fell and ate, the whole person was crushed to the ground and couldn't get up.

The mouth of the ghost snake visible to the naked eye constantly flowed red blood, dripping on the ground where the loess had settled.

The ghost snake shouted while vomiting blood, "Big brother, save me!"

The ghost dragon was trampled on the soles of her feet by a water dragon and couldn't get up, Chixia couldn't help frowning and looked at the Tao Zi Kite on the carriage.

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

Tao Ziyuan said lightly, "It's not interesting, I just don't like to be scolded." ”

Chixia bent down and apologized, "Please forgive my brother for my brother's disrespectful words, and Chixia will be at Madame's disposal." ”

Tao Ziyuan looked at the middle-aged man unexpectedly, one of these two people looked like a white and pure, like a scholar with a sven language, and the other was like a butcher in the market, but they spoke and acted completely upside down.

It's a novelty.

Tao Ziyuan slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "He's your own brother?" ”

Chixia glanced at the painful ghost on the ground and said, "He once saved my life, and I promised him that as long as I lived, I would not let him die." ”

"Oh?" Tao Ziyuan smiled playfully, but raised his hand to let the water dragon relax some of his strength, and the ghost snake was able to breathe.

Chixia hugged her fists and said, "Mrs. Xie raised her noble hand. ”

Tao Ziyuan smiled, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, what is it bad for people like you to do?

Chixia shook her head and said calmly, "Li Yuan is kind to me. ”

Tao Ziyuan suddenly sneered, "This is the reason why you are aiding the abuse?"

Chixia was stunned for a moment, looked at the indifference in those eyes, clenched her fists and said, "The winner is the king, the loser Kou, even if one day Chixia is killed by Yu Nengzhong, there will be no moments of regret and resentment." ”

Tao Ziyuan raised her eyebrows, "This sentence sounds quite pleasing to the ear." Your flute is good, give it to me, and then I'll let him go. ”

Chixia subconsciously held the bamboo flute on her waist and looked at the woman in surprise, unable to understand what was the use of the flute she couldn't use?

Tao Ziyuan smiled, "You have to go with me too, I have a nephew, I think this flute is very suitable for him." ”

Chixia frowned and said, "

The flute can be given to Madame, but Chixia can't leave Li Yuan. ”

Tao Ziyuan had already expected such an answer, and there was no surprise at all, but he said calmly, "So, Li Yuanwai gave death." ”

Chixia gasped in surprise, and even the ghost snake that was pressed to the ground couldn't help but look at the man in shock.

It's not that I think the so-called idiot is talking about dreams, but the woman said it too lightly, as if it was as simple as stepping on an ant.
