The moonlight as clear as snow poured on the bluestone pavement, and the cold wind blew through the silent alleys, and there was silence everywhere.

Ziruo hesitated in the alley, a few lines of dried tears on her face, she didn't know where to go, she walked slowly forward in despair, there was no sound behind her, only the wind blowing through the empty world.

She didn't dare to look back, both afraid that he would chase and that he would not come, and that it was best that there was a cliff in front of her.

After all, there was the sound of footsteps behind him, and the sound of each step landing, heavy and hurried, seemed to be someone rushing towards him.

In the quiet night, hearing the footsteps, Ziruo didn't know whether to be happy or repulsed, her heart was mixed, joyful and bittersweet, and she concocted a wonderful and indescribable taste, but she couldn't help but speed up her steps, afraid that he would catch up, and afraid that he would not want to chase again.

Where could she outrun the man, no matter how fast the lotus step was, the man had already rushed to the front.

Ziruo was taken aback, the person in front of him was actually a strong man with a height of more than two meters, with unkempt hair, wearing a tattered shirt, holding a shiny wooden stick brushed with tung oil, like a giant beast in the moonlight, stopping in front of him.

The strong man grinned widely, revealing two rows of white Sensen's teeth in the night, stained with fishy carrion, and let out a foul-smelling tone, and shouted loudly: "Little lady, it's so late, in a hurry?"

Zi Ruo was scared in her heart, didn't want to pay attention to him, and wanted to bypass him and continue to move forward, but the strong man had a burly body and one arm, blocking the entire alley, leaving her with no way out.

Zi Ruo said angrily: "What do you want to do?"

The strong man said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm a horseman who drives the car, if you want to go out of the city, I know the soldiers who defend the city, and I can drive you out, but the price is twice as much as during the day." ”

Ziruo knew that he had bad intentions, so late at night, the city gate was closed, the people in the city had already rested, thousands of households were pitch black, only a few dotted lights, turned his head and walked back, just wanted to get rid of this person's entanglement, for fear that he would forcibly take himself to a remote place and want to misbehave.

The strong man did not give up, followed, and said: "Oh, girl, it's okay to give you a cheaper, just now I was squatting on the corner of the street, and I saw you and your husband quarreling and going out, I knew that you wanted to go back to your mother's house, women, they are like this, they want to run away when they are angry, and my wife also ran away after a quarrel, I don't know where now." You don't have to be afraid, I'm a coachman who lives outside the city, and I sent a group of guests to the city, and the city gate is closed and I don't want to go back empty, if you want me to give you a ride for half a tael of silver, how about it?" grinned and looked terrible.

Zi Ruo glanced at it, frightened, her steps were faster, the tall and burly body of the strong man left a large black shadow on the ground, and she didn't need to look back to see that the person was following closely behind, and her heart became more and more anxious.

When Zi Ruo hesitated alone just now, he didn't know where he went in the alley with twists and turns, and when he turned back at this moment, he naturally walked towards the bright lights and spacious road, rushing through a narrow alley, and in front of him was the brightly lit street, and there were lanterns hanging in front of some merchants, which was different from the small alley where there was only fluorescent moonlight.

Ziruo's heart was a little calm, and a group of people came to the street, the first of which was a handsome boy, with luxurious clothes and accessories, and everyone around him surrounded this boy like a moon and stars, which showed that his identity was the highest among everyone.

Ziruo just wanted to get rid of the unreasonable entanglement of the strong man, so he lowered his head, ignored the many strange men, and walked towards the crowd.

Everyone was quite surprised to see a woman walking on the street late at night, especially the son, seeing Ziruo with his head lowered, the moment he passed by, like a glimpse, the beautiful face under the lamp was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he couldn't help but be stunned in place, his eyes were stunned, staring at the back behind Ziruo.

The strong man persevered and chased after him, shouting, "Girl, don't go, how dangerous it is for a woman to walk around at night!"

The boy was startled by the strong man's voice, looking at the burly figure, exuding the stench of not taking a bath for a long time, he couldn't help but cover his nose and frown, and made a look at the attendants beside him, the attendants had followed the son for a long time, so he naturally understood, and the three attendants drew their swords and rushed to the strong man and stopped him.

The strong man said angrily: "Do you want to rob?"

Childe almost vomited blood, any jade pendant on his body is worth a thousand gold, and he will rob you of a reckless man in rags and shaped like a beggar?

An attendant said angrily: "Robbing your grandmother's head, why are you following other girls? ”

Ziruo heard the argument behind her, and thought that someone would come forward to stop the strong man, which was really thankful, but she didn't dare to stop at her feet, she couldn't remember the way back to the private house, so she had to continue walking.

Seeing that the girl was getting farther and farther away, the boy hurriedly rushed forward, stopped Ziruo, bowed down, and said, "This girl, that strong man is going to bully you?"

Ziruo had no choice but to stop, glanced at the strong man surrounded by the attendant with a knife, and nodded.

The strong man seemed to recognize the men, and exclaimed, "Oh, you are the guest I brought into the city......

"Shut up. The attendant shouted angrily, fearing that the strong man would be unstoppable, so he put the knife to his mouth, and signaled that if he dared to talk nonsense, he would cut off his tongue.

The boy smiled slightly and said, "Girl, what are you going to do with this apprentice?"

Ziruo was silent, she grew up in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, and her etiquette was strict, and when she saw a strange man, she was anxious and just wanted to hide, and she didn't want to talk to him more.

An attendant smiled flatteringly: "This girl, the master of our family is the ...... of Jingnan County."

"Ahem. The boy coughed a few times, interrupted the attendant's words, and said, "That's right, Xiaosheng is one of the richest families in Jingnan County, surnamed Shi Minggui, and I am really fortunate to be able to meet the girl today, it can be seen that the fate is not shallow, I don't know the girl's name?"

Zi Ruoxin said: "This person is really strange, even if you have more money, what does it have to do with me." In her heart, she faintly hoped that the annoying fellow would come and take her away from this embarrassing place.

Shi Gui saw that Ziruo had not spoken, thinking that she was a mute, and sighed in his heart: "It's a pity to be so beautiful, it's a pity to be a mute, but such a look, even if you don't say a word, is enough to overwhelm the crowd, and there is no comparable woman in the world." ”

The attendant beside him said: "Master, this woman looks like a mute, should you tie it up and send it to the master's room, she can't call it anyway." ”

Shi Gui shook his hand and gave him a resounding slap in the face, and said angrily: "How can such a beautiful woman use such a rude method, I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all." ”

"Yes, yes, small wrong. The attendant covered his face and retreated in amusement.

Shi Guiyu didn't give up, with a smile on his face, and said: "Girl, my subordinate is not sensible, don't take it seriously, I just glanced at me and promised to love the girl very much, it is better to go to the restaurant for a night banquet first, the first time we met, I will never act wrongly, please rest assured." ”

Ziruo had already ignored him, and when she saw him chattering endlessly, she was disgusted, and secretly thought: "That guy is usually elusive, and he appears in front of him all of a sudden, and now he needs him, why hasn't he seen a shadow for so long?"
