The Twenty-Eighth Octopus and the Bear's Paw (Part I)

Xia Luohong shook her head and smiled slightly bitterly: "Since you don't talk about it, then I'll tell you! Do you remember the first time you came to my house?" Xiao Baiyan frowned, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and looked at Xia Luohong as if he saw that time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ride, aw, we are here, Miss!" the groom pulled the rope of his horse, jumped down in front of a gate, took a staircase made of mahogany and placed it in front of the carriage, opened the oil umbrella, and called inside. "Well, I see!" Xia Luohong lifted the door curtain, poked her head out, looked at the golden gate, smiled slightly, and carefully got out of the carriage.

Xia Luohong fell to the ground, turned around, and was very happy, regardless of the umbrella wetting her whole body, and shouted: "I have finally arrived home!" At this time, a woman walked out of the gate, and the woman said slightly angrily: "Silly girl, why don't you cover the umbrella! Look at it, your whole body is wet." Xia Luohong smiled slightly, staring at the woman, only to see that the woman was dressed in blue brocade clothes, combing her temples as light as cicada wings, her moth eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were like water, her face was full of flowers, her lips and teeth were very beautiful. Xia Luohong praised: "Mother, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Xia Mu smiled, scratched her nose, and scolded lovingly: "The silly girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, like smeared with honey!" Xia Luohong held Xia Mu's arm and smiled: "This is not a good mother's teaching!" Xia Mu nodded, her eyes narrowed, and she smiled sweetly.

At this time, Xiao Baiyan got out of the carriage, his eyes rolled around, and he looked at it carefully, looking like a thief. When Xia Mu heard the sound, she turned her head to look at it, her face turned cold, and she asked, "Girl, why don't you bring people home!" Xia Luo pouted, and hurriedly requested: "Mother, it's all my fault, it's ruined your interest." However, on the way back, I saw him fall to the ground, unconscious, and I could not see death without saving him! Didn't you teach me to do more good deeds? As the saying goes, saving a person's life is better than making seven ......."

Seeing that her mouth was like a river, she was a little helpless, shook her head, pulled Xia Luohong into the door, and stopped: "Okay, okay, let Uncle Zhong find him a job to do! You should also meet your father!" When the groom heard this, he nodded his head and said, "Alas, okay, madam!" At this time, Xia Luohong smiled slightly, glanced at the groom, pointed at Xiao Baiyan, and then pointed back at himself, his mouth was slightly open, as if he was asking something. The groom nodded, picked up the staircase and put it on the car, patted Xiao Baiyan who was looking around, and said, "Little brother, you are blessed, Miss has taken a fancy to you!"

Xiao Baiyan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that pie had fallen from the sky, so he hurriedly followed, and asked puzzledly: "What, your young lady has taken a fancy to me, so am I going to get rich?" The groom smiled, shook his head, patted his forehead and said, "Little brother, are you daydreaming! If you want to be the son-in-law of the Xia family, you are still early!"

Xiao Baiyan scratched his head, blinked, and didn't understand: "Then what do you mean that Miss has taken a fancy to me?" The groom smiled and said, "Silly boy, Miss wants you to be her subordinate!" Xiao Baiyan paused, his face stiffened, and he said bitterly: "Ah, that's the case!" The groom shook his head and asked, "Silly boy, don't you want to?" Xiao Baiyan shook his head and said with a slight smile: "Your young lady is so beautiful, I will wronged myself for the time being and act as her subordinate!"

So far, Xiao Baiyan has been upgraded from a little beggar to a villain, and he finally has no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation. By Xia Luohong's side, there is nothing to do, serving tea and pouring water all day long, and sometimes washing Xia Luohong's feet, which is pitiful. After two or three months in Xiafu, Xia Luohong didn't look at him squarely. However, Xiao Baiyan has great ambitions, and he always masters formations and talismans in the middle of the night, in his own words: "The master has taught me so many things, it must be of great use, and he will be able to shine in the master one day!"

One night, the moon was clear and the wind was clear, and there was silence. Xiao Baiyan walked with a chicken claw, and saw Xia Luohong sitting alone in the back garden, dragging her chin, frowning, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Miss, what's wrong with you, what's uncomfortable, do you want to hire a doctor?" Xia Luohong shook her head, her face was worried, and she pouted: "I'm fine, but my mother doesn't know what's wrong, since I came back from worshiping my grandfather, I can't afford to be sick, and I can't find a lot of doctors, I don't know what to do?" Xia Luohong cried as she spoke.

Seeing that Xiao Baiyan was distressed, scratched his head, and persuaded: "Miss, don't cry, did Mrs. bump into something unclean!" Xia Luohong was stunned when she heard this, shook her head and said, "I don't know!" Xiao Baiyan frowned and asked, "Then Miss can you take the little one to have a look!" Xia Luohong also frowned, hesitated for a moment, nodded, took his hand and said, "Then you come with me!"

Xiao Baiyan was stunned, his heart beat like a bell, no woman had ever held his hand, Xia Luohong was the first, and maybe the last. Xiao Baiyan followed her to an attic. The attic is magnificent, flying pavilion liudan, carved beams and painted buildings, there is a big tripod in front of the door, the upper inheritance of heaven's grace, the lower grounding blessing, the door is made of mahogany, exudes a light fragrance. Several subordinates were standing at the door waiting, and when they saw Xia Luohong coming, they bowed their bodies and said in unison: "The slave (slave) has seen Miss!" Xia Luohong nodded, "um", and pulled Xiao Baiyan into the room.

In the room, the red carpet is covered with curtains, and the sandalwood on the table is rising. Xiao Baiyan was pulled to the bed, and when he saw that Xia Mu's face was pale, her eyes were blank, and her lips were dry, she was taken aback and said, "This is, this is a lost soul!" As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged gentleman walked in and shouted: "Who said that my wife is a lost soul!" Xiao Baiyan frowned, arched his hand, and whispered: "Uncle Qiqi, it was the villain who said it, the villain has been Qimen Dunjia since elementary school, and he has been drawing talismans in a formation, so he can ...... it."

Before Xiao Baiyan finished speaking, there was a "snap", and a slap hit him in the face, which instantly turned red. I only heard Father Xia say with contempt: "You dare to be embarrassed here, do you think my Xia family is cooking? My Xia family's spiritism can't see why, is it your turn to worry about the villain?" Xiao Baiyan frowned, his heart was unconvinced, he was full of resentment, and he was just about to refute it, but he was pulled by Xia Luohong and taken out of the door. Father Xia glared at him and shouted, "Hong'er, where are you going?"

Xia Luohong paused, and his lips moved slightly: "Dad, why do you want to be rough in front of your mother, you know that your mother doesn't like to beat people, but you beat him." You're really disappointing me!" After speaking, Xia Luohong pulled Xiao Baiyan away, crying as she walked. Xiao Baiyan listened to the heartache, didn't know what to do, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xia Luohong wiped her tears, looked resolute, and asked: "Can you cure my mother, please give me an answer?"

Xiao Baiyan looked at her face full of tears, overly sad, nodded, and said with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you, why are you crying like this?" Xia Luohong shook her head and said, "I'll take you to the tomb to see you!" The book friend group of this site 2969158
