The mountains are majestic and continuous, the mountain peaks are like cutting straight into the sky, and there is a surging river winding through the foot of the mountain, and there are patches of tall and lush bamboo forests as far as the eye can see, and there are criss-crossing bamboo ropeways across the air, which makes people a little dizzy to look at.

This is the Anyuan Mansion known as the Xifu Trench.

A few days ago, I received a rumor from Wei Rushan, saying that Qingxinlan had been prepared, and asked Xihe to pick it up at any time when he was free.

Originally, it was possible to send other people to the pharmacy, but only the group sat on the boat for a long time, and it was very uncomfortable, so they simply chartered the inn and let everyone go ashore to rest for a day or two.

After arranging his mother and grandmother, Xihe changed into men's clothes and took Alan and Qingbi, who were also dressed up, to the street.

Although Anyuan Mansion is backed by green mountains, the waterway transportation is developed tightly, and because of the unique topography here, not only a wide variety of medicines, but also the efficacy of medicine is much better than other places, and pharmaceutical merchants from all over the country gather, come and go, and it is also a rich place.

At this time, it is noon, and the burden-bearers, the performers, and the peddlers of all kinds of snacks are really bustling and lively.

"Kidney bean cauliflower, cauliflower and bean curd, delicious and inexpensive."

"Lao Zhou's buckwheat jelly, sour and fresh and delicious......"

"Selling rice cakes, delicious and non-sticky ......"

Xihe walked in the bustling crowd, only feeling dizzying, and from time to time asked Qingbi to buy all kinds of snacks, which was really happy.

"Huh, where's Alain?" After taking the crispy red beans handed by Qingbi, the master and servant ate them with relish, and they were about to let Alan taste them, but when they turned around, they found that there was no one behind them.

Hurriedly looking back, it was easy to see Alain, who was stumbled by the crowded crowd, Xihe was stunned-

But when he came out, Alain always followed him closely, why did he look a little dazed today? I didn't even know that I was separated from myself.

Even Qingbi also felt that something was wrong, seeing that a strong man behind him was squeezing over, and the two were about to collide, Alan didn't react at all, and Xi and hurriedly reached out and dragged Alan to the side of the road:

"Alain, what's wrong with you?"

"Huh?" Alan looked obviously a little confused, and said after a while, "Miss is worried, the maid is fine." "Obviously, I've never been to Anyuan Mansion myself, but for some reason, I just feel that this place is very familiar, as if I've been here in a dream......

"Is it uncomfortable to sit on the boat for too long?" Xihe couldn't help but be a little worried.

Although Alan is not good at talking, he is loyal and tight, and he is the person who left his sister to give him, and Xi and Zilai value it very much.

"It's not—" Alain shook his head, and was about to say something, when a slender woman suddenly rushed out of the alley next to her.

Seeing that he was about to hit the two of them, Alan hurriedly grabbed Xihe's arm and walked to the side, but the woman didn't expect that there were two people in the corner, and she jumped to the side in a hurry, but she just stepped on a smooth pebble, and fell to the ground with a "poof".

But he immediately got up from the ground, obviously wanting to continue running, but as soon as he sat up, he knelt on the ground again with an "ouch".

"Don't move." Xihe hurriedly stopped the other party's movements - he could see clearly at this time, the girl on the ground was clearly a girl who was one or two years younger than himself, the clothes on her body were obviously a little bigger, and her face was a little sallow, but she could vaguely see the bottom of her delicate appearance, Xu was wronged, and there were two obvious tear stains on the corners of her eyes, "I'm afraid your feet are hurt." ”

The girl didn't speak, and looked behind in a hurry, just in time to see two gray figures, one tall and one short, running here, and then gritted her teeth and stood up.

But after running a few steps, he was caught up by the middle-aged woman behind, grabbed the hem of the girl's clothes, sat on the ground and began to clap her thighs and cry:

"God, why am I so miserable, I actually gave birth to such a conscienceless girl like you - you can't bear to see that your uncle can't marry a daughter-in-law, and your brother can't enter the school? Ah, I'm a widow, is it easy to pull your sister and brother apart? You're trying to force your mother and me to die......"

The girl's face turned even paler when she said this, and her expression was terrified and desperate when she looked at her:

"Mother, mother, I don't want to get married, I'll just guard you and my brother, okay? I can embroider, I can earn money for my brother to go to school, don't marry me - the family has already killed two wives, if I marry, there will be no way to live......"

At the end of the sentence, the voice was clearly desperate.

The woman was stunned, and the hand holding the girl loosened a little, but she hesitated a little, and only kept whimpering.

Some good people had already come up around, and when they saw the girl's pitiful appearance, they couldn't help but show a look of pity—

Everyone knows this girl, her name is Cuilian, and she is the eldest girl of the Daqing family in Liding, Hutong.

Don't look at the age, but the most hard-working and capable, whether it is a female celebrity, and can endure hardships, I heard that in the embroidery workshop, you can get the same salary as those older female workers.

is also a lovely person, he never spends the reward money indiscriminately, and takes it home and gives it to his father and mother for a penny.

It's okay to have such hands and feet, and a girl who is still filial, where can she not be respected by the family? It's just that this Ding Daqing family is obviously a grandmother, and it is better to let the child live as an inferior maid.

It's also this child's hard life, he got such a drunkard and gambler's father, when he was alive, he knew how to eat, drink and enjoy, and he beat this mother at every turn, I thought that Ding Daqing was dead, and this family would be able to live better, but I didn't think that the Gao family in Ding Daqing's house didn't know what to do, and Zhang Dazhuang who was making a fuss about giving Cuilian to Mao'er Hutong-

The people living in this area are all poor, who doesn't know Zhang Dazhuang's reputation? is the most scoundrel, in addition to eating and drinking, fighting and spilling, he doesn't even have a serious business, and his temperament is still brutal and tight, is it the truth that Cuilian said that he killed two wives before?

Such a person, who can bear to send a good girl over to spoil people?

Not to mention the age, I'm afraid it's enough to be the father of the lotus girl! But this Gao family didn't know why he was dizzy, and he was stunned to marry his daughter like a flower and bone to a family that couldn't see the light of day.

At that moment, some people couldn't bear it and helped persuade Gao's Dao:

"His sister-in-law, look at our alley, which girl can compare to your lotus girl? Such a good girl, and filial piety, seeing that your family is getting more and more hopeful day by day, how can you come up with such a stupid trick......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another old gong-like voice:

"Ouch, where did you come from with a bad conscience and no □□, our family's affairs, you want to talk too much? Didn't you see that our lotus girl found a good mother-in-law, didn't you blush? I really have the courage to say this to Da Zhuang again, and I won't tear your stinky mouth apart......"

A foul language made everyone change color, but they didn't dare to scold this old woman-

The old woman is not Cuilian's grandmother Qiu, the most faceless shrew, but I am afraid that she will really learn everyone's words to that Zhang Da Zhuang, and really let that Zhang Da Zhuang find the door, and it is indispensable to get some silver, and what is even more odious is that this person often pours feces and urine and splashes it on the door of other people's houses.

At that moment, no one dared to speak, and the crowd dispersed, which suddenly made the figure of Xi and several people standing there particularly abrupt.

Seeing Qiu's gaze turned, Qingbi suddenly panicked, but Alan always stood behind Xihe with his head down, not knowing what to think.

The Qiu clan won the battle, and the momentum was booming at this time, so he trotted over, dragged his daughter first, and pushed Cuilian impatiently:

"Cry, cry, cry, know to cry! One by one, none of them are promising. ”

As she spoke, she had already dragged Cuilian to Qingbi in stride, and her thin and old fingers were almost pounding Qingbi's face:

"You hit my granddaughter, didn't you? Yes? What did you do to knock people into? You say, do you want to be an official or a private person? ”

Another stack of voices greeted Gao:

"What are you doing standing stupidly? Why don't you call Cuilian's son-in-law over? Let's just say that someone broke his daughter-in-law's leg! ”

looked Qingbi up and down and Xi and the two behind him - the fabrics on these people were obviously excellent, and their faces were tight, and they were clearly foreigners, so they had to pay a sum of money.

In a word, Qingbi is so dangerous:

"What do you say? Why is it so unreasonable? Obviously, you chased after you fiercely, the little girl couldn't see the road clearly, and almost hit us, and then slipped before she fell......"

"Oh, you still don't admit it, do you?" Qiu jumped up with a "whoop", and stretched out his hand to scratch Qingbi.

But Cuilian, who was barely standing up, hugged her arm, and her face was humiliated and angry: "Grandmother, what are you doing?" This sister is right, I almost hit them, and I don't do anyone else's business if I fall......"

Before he finished speaking, he was pinched hard by Qiu Shizhao's hand:

"Big girl, still don't hold your daughter? I'm afraid my head is broken, right? Otherwise, how can you talk nonsense? ”

As he spoke, he pinched and twisted Cuilian's hands and waist, and Cuilian couldn't help but let go, but she still said calmly:

"Grandmother, what are you doing? It's none of anyone's business......"

But he was hugged by his mother, who was already scared and trembling behind him:

"Okay, my aunt, don't say a word, don't make your grandmother angry, okay?"

As he spoke, another man in □□his twenties, with a fat physique and a fierce face, ran over:

"Damn, whose rabbit cub, the one who dares to touch my Zhang Dazhuang? Watch me unscrew the two-and-a-half pounds off your heads and kick them ......."

As he spoke, Pu slapped the big slap towards Xihe's head.
