Yuan Qiaoqiao rode all the way and finally returned to Huweiwei the day before Chinese New Year's Eve. It was freezing cold, and her face was blown by the wind, but she didn't care, she just hurried back to the women's dormitory, thinking about meeting Si Yang as soon as possible. When I arrived at the front of the house, I found that the door was closed, and Si Yang happened to be absent.

Yuan Qiaoqiao was full of loss. saw Lan Zhi returning from going out and was about to go back to the house. Yuan Qiaoqiao called: "Hey! Hold it! Where did Si Yang go? ”

Her attitude was rude, but Lan Zhi had been a neighbor with her for a long time, and she knew her character, so she didn't care about her, but replied: "I don't know." ”

Yuan Qiaoqiao turned her head with a wooden face and opened the door by herself. The room was cold, the hearth was not alive, Yuan Qiaoqiao ran around for days, and now he was extremely tired, and he didn't bother to move anymore, collapsed on the bed, wrapped the quilt, and fell asleep. slept like this until dawn, and finally heard the door ring, she sat up in a daze, and sure enough, she saw Si Yang pushing the door in.

Yuan Qiaoqiao immediately sobered up and got up: "Si Yang! I am back! ”

Si Yang was also stunned when he saw her: "So fast!" I received your letter and thought you were going to arrive tomorrow. ”

Yuan Qiaoqiao lit the lamp, turned around and threw herself into Si Yang's arms: "I miss you!" Only then did they rush back day and night. She looked up and said happily, "Just in time to be able to accompany you for Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Si Yang smiled and touched her head, but pushed her away a little, glanced at the door vigilantly, and asked in a low voice: "Yongshan, what did you find out?" ”

Yuan Qiaoqiao was a little unhappy when she heard this: "We have been separated for a long time, we have just met, and you don't ask me if I am okay, just think about asking Lan Zhi!" ”

She didn't shout loudly, but Si Yang still nervously raised her index finger at her: "Shhhh Be quiet, and don't be heard. ”

Thinking that the two had not seen each other for more than a month, Yuan Qiaoqiao rarely held back her temper: "Lan Zhi's mother died early, and she has lived with her father in Yongshan since she was a child. I heard that her family has been hunting for a living for generations, so both men and women have some martial arts. Once or twice a month, the father and daughter would go down the mountain to sell their game and pelts, and buy oil and rice by the way. In short, they are all ordinary and authentic Yuyuan people, and there is no suspicion. ”

Si Yang frowned: "Are you sure?" She thought for a moment, "Did you ask more of the locals?" ”

Yuan Qiaoqiao became more and more displeased: "Don't you still believe me!" What you asked me to do, I was very concerned, their father and daughter did not have much contact with the people in the town, I almost asked the people in the town, and only then did I find a few townspeople who had dealt with them! ”

It was then that there was a knock on the door of the next room, followed by footsteps. Lan Zhi seemed to be out of the door. Si Yang hurriedly pushed Yuan Qiaoqiao away, walked to the door to listen attentively, and returned to Yuan Qiaoqiao and sat down in the middle of the ring: "No...... You don't know, I had people stalk Lan Zhi, but she got rid of her. If she was just an ordinary Orion, she shouldn't be so vigilant. I thought she must be suspicious...... Qiaoqiao, are you really sure she's okay? ”

She asked again and looked at Yuan Qiaoqiao. Yuan Qiaoqiao forcibly suppressed his anger: "Sure! ”

Si Yang saw her eyes widen and closed his mouth. Yuan Qiaoqiao eased her face at this time, went to the table to pick up the package she brought back, and turned out a string of wooden beads from it: "Yongshan's wood carving is very famous, I specially went to find a famous local wood carver and asked him to carve this Buddhist bead bracelet for you, take a look, do you like it?" ”

She handed the bracelet to Si Yang. Si Yang took it and put it on his hand: "It's very good-looking, I like it." ”

Yuan Qiaoqiao had a smile on her face: "Yes! I chose this style, even the wood was carefully selected by me! On the way back, I sent it to the temple to find a monk and opened the light, which will definitely keep you safe, and you will always carry it in the future, you know? ”

She looked at Si Yang tenderly, but Si Yang just said "um", and couldn't help but ask again: "You said that Lan Zhi's father and daughter will go down the mountain to sell prey and buy grain and oil, who did they ask about?" ”

Yuan Qiaoqiao's smile froze, and he smashed the bag on the table to the ground in a moment! scolded: "Lan Zhi Lan Zhi! You know Lan Zhi! In order to rush back to accompany you for the New Year, I rushed day and night, and my face was blown apart by the wind, have you ever asked! What do you say to doubt her, I think you like her, right?! If you miss her so much, why don't you go to live in her house! ”

Yuan Qiaoqiao was jealous because of Si Yang's special concern, and Si Yang had to press down his doubts, coax him with good words, and ask no more. But neither of them knew that half a month ago, when Duan Ling heard his subordinates report like this, he also asked the same question. And the answer of his subordinates was: "The shopkeeper of the grocery store, the second child of the rice store, the oil seller who walks the streets, the old gentleman who helps people write at the door of the restaurant, and the ......."

Duan Ling listened carefully, and then he summoned someone to Ren Qianhu and ordered: "You send some reliable people to Yongshan to monitor these people for me......"

After listening to this messy list of lists, Ren Qianhu was confused: "Why do adults want to monitor these people? ”

Duan Ling just waved his hand and said, "You just have to do it." Fu coldly hooked the corners of his mouth: "I want to see who the people behind them are!" ”

Si Yang and Yuan Qiaoqiao finally reconciled. After a day of nothing, the heavy snow finally stopped, and Haotian City ushered in Chinese New Year's Eve on a rare sunny day.

Duan Ling had the heart to accompany Lan Zhi to celebrate the New Year, but the saint set up a night banquet in the palace and invited important officials to celebrate together, and he was among them. Duan Ling couldn't refuse, so he had to dispel his thoughts and make an appointment with Lan Zhi on the first day of the new year.

Because of his duties, many people could not leave the barracks, so there was a routine revelry on Chinese New Year's Eve. Duan Ling was not in the city, and Lan Zhi had no special place to go, so he stayed in the barracks and celebrated the New Year with the captains.

In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the open space in the center of the Huwei military camp. At the end of the year, the kitchen specially prepared good wine and food for the captains to enjoy at will. Yuyuan culture is different from the Central Plains culture, the form of singing and dancing is also different, and the captains are unrestrained, occasionally chatting, and impromptu wrestling competitions will be staged. Lan Zhi found a corner to eat and drink, and enjoyed the performance of the troupe by the way. When she finally planned to go back to the dormitory to rest, it was almost the time when she was almost a child.

Most of the people in the field had left, and Lan Zhi also got up slightly drunk and walked towards the women's barracks. She passed by the gate of Huweiwei, only to find that there were several carriages parked there. One after another, people got out of the carriage. Lan Zhi looked and saw many girls wearing red and green.

Most of these girls are fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, including Yuyuan people, Central Plains people, Dongli people, and Baihan people. In the cold weather, they don't wear cotton jackets, only light gauze clothes, showing their beautiful shoulders and necks in the cold night. A cold wind blew, and Lan Zhi sniffled lightly and smelled the aroma of fat powder.

Several lieutenants were at the door to meet them. One of the lieutenants said a few words to a girl, laughed out loud, and pinched the girl's buttocks. The girl was not annoyed, but chuckled and whispered in response.

Lan Zhi understood their identities. Woo Yuan's saint really treats the soldiers well. These girls should all be Qinglou women, who were uniformly recruited by the government and sent to various military camps, and used on Chinese New Year's Eve to reward the soldiers who had worked hard for a year.

Lan Zhi turned her head and was about to leave, but she saw a graceful woman in red walking down from the nearby carriage, her figure looked a little familiar, her footsteps stopped instantly, and she turned back in disbelief.

The woman's black hair hangs smoothly, her skin is better than snow, her willow waist is thin, and her eyebrows are exquisite. It's just that face...... It's clearly the girl she saved when she entered the city!

After a short period of stunned, Lan Zhi sighed in her heart: Didn't she say that she wanted to live well and avenge her parents? This kid ...... Why did you still fall into the Qinglou!

The girl hung her head slightly, her slender neck bent out of a weak arc, and the whole person shivered slightly in the cold wind. The lieutenants counted the numbers and beckoned the girls to march towards the center of the camp. The girl was mixed in the crowd of warblers, silently following step by step, and her back looked extremely thin.

Lan Zhi stood expressionless for a moment, retracted her gaze indifferently, and continued to walk towards the women's barracks. But he didn't take a few steps, but he paused again, took a deep breath, and finally turned his head and followed.

She didn't know why she was following. She had been separated from the girl for more than four months, and knew in her heart that the child had probably been through a lot of things for such a long time, in a place she could not see. Even if they meet here again, she can't do anything now. can remember the day when I first saw her, the girl was in tears but her eyes were dark, and Lan Zhi just couldn't leave.

Let's see how she adapts...... Lan Zhi said to herself silently. It's good to live with her thoughts, but if fate can't resist, she actually hopes that the girl can be less shameful, less persistent, and less backbone.

Seeing the girls appear, the atmosphere of the venue instantly became warm. The men's laughter resounded throughout the barracks, and they even got up directly to find the girl they liked. Lan Zhi found out that at some point, the female soldiers were almost gone, apparently knowing about this routine. She glanced over, only to see that Si Yang was still socializing with several thousands of households, and Yuan Qiaoqiao was holding her medicine box and waiting boredly aside. And the remaining female soldiers who did not leave, without exception, collapsed in the man's arms, drunk like mud.

In this situation, Lan Zhi was inconvenient to show up, so she stood by the camp tent not far away and looked at the girl from afar.

The girl was visibly frightened by the atmosphere of the barracks, and looked around timidly, as if trying to find a corner to hide herself. But her appearance was too outstanding, and no matter how hard she tried, it was useless, but after a while, many people stared at her and surrounded her. Lan Zhi was a little puzzled when she saw them laughing and patting each other's shoulders and backs, but it took a moment to react, and her face immediately changed.

- These men obviously have a crush on the girl, but instead of fighting or grabbing, they are a group of people, obviously not minding sharing, and want to do the things of so many people!

- This ...... That's almost a dozen people!

Lan Zhi couldn't hide herself, and walked towards the girl for a while, and sure enough, she heard several school captains hugging each other and discussing how to allocate the right to use. The girl was grabbed and touched by several other people, her clothes were already messy, and she cried in fear, and the pear blossoms with rain looked like ...... But it stimulates men's feelings even more.

Lan Zhi finally stood at the unmanned dinner table, struggling in her heart: What should I do? Is she going to meddle?

The girl was recruited by the government uniformly, and it was originally a pastime for the soldiers on Chinese New Year's Eve, and her name is not right, how to intervene? There are nearly ten lieutenants here who want girls, these people have some skills, not those ordinary soldiers who can be easily intimidated in the past, she really intervened, and can she save the girl by herself? Besides, the girl has already entered the Qinglou, even if she succeeds in rescuing her this time, what about the future, can she still keep an eye on it?

The men's movements became more and more unbridled, and some of them dragged the girls towards the tent. The girl was unclothed, and finally couldn't help but cry and beg, but in exchange for the men's laughter.

Lan Zhi gritted her teeth. Her eyes fell on Si Yang and Yuan Qiaoqiao not far away, and she had made up her mind in her heart, so she suddenly grabbed the liquor on the table and poured the whole bottle down!

The wine was in a hurry, Lan Zhi's eyes were red, and her face was hot. She ripped her clothes and threw away the crown of her hair, and then she staggered and ran after the girl.
