Ripples lifted the curtain of the car and swallowed saliva, there were so many snacks on the street, there were gourd heads made of pork belly sausages, fragrant clove wontons, white and fat steamed cakes in the cage drawer, and sweet and crispy mountain red and begonia fruit wrapped in sugar coating. Ripples, a pair of phoenix eyes lit up. It's not that these things are delicious, the chef at home is better and the flavor is deeper, but the steaming appearance of the fresh pot is gratuitous.

When she was young, her grandfather also took her to the market on the street, rode on her grandfather's neck, pointed to the snacks she liked and asked the little girl to buy them, and ate the red sugar juice that melted her grandfather's head with a sugar gourd. It's just that when she grew older, her mother detained her and didn't allow her to go out of the Hou Mansion again, if she had never gone out, she had seen the birds in the vast sky outside, how could she be at ease in a small courtyard. What's more, there is also a noisy Shen family treasure bead beside her, so she ran to her ear and said what she hadn't heard outside.

The ripples tugged at the corners of Xu's mother's clothes, her eyes stared at the food stall outside motionless, Xu's mother had a gentle smile on her face, this little girl has loved to eat these novelties since she was a child, and she still can't change it when she gets older.

There are small food stalls all the way, the carriage stops on the side of the street, Xu's mother pointed to Qiu Tong to get off the car to buy, the ripples are beating the curtain, looking at the street scene outside, there are many shops on both sides of the street, the street is all kinds of hurried, or leisurely pedestrians, the west sun shines on the faces of these people, and the air is full of lazy smell.

Suddenly, the neighing of horses pulled the ripples back into their thoughts. Turning his eyes to the other end, he saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy straddling a jujube red horse, wearing a purple Dako Aya Luo narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, stepping on long boots with black and white soles, and wearing a gold and jade belt, looking boredly at the pedestrians in the market.

Ripples could only see the side face of this person, a pair of merry eyes with a seemingly non-existent smile, seeing the carriage here, raising his eyebrows, and asking Ah Sheng with a smile: "Which convoy is over there?" ”

Ah Sheng raised his head when he heard this, and said, "The convoy of Zhenwei Houfu." ”

Qiu Tong got in the car, Ripples looked at the white and fat steamed cakes and felt cute, and was about to put down the curtain, when he saw the young man turn his head, Ripples only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it anyway. I felt that he laughed openly and indulgently, and he rode a horse on a rampage before, which was very disliked.

The man raised his hand and raised the horsewhip, Ripples lowered the curtain to eat cakes, and suddenly saw the short sword on his waist, he couldn't help but gasp, and was very excited, it was actually him, the young man who was painted by her in the back mountain! She still remembered his disdainful tone when he swore at the beginning: "Don't let the master know which mansion you are". This kind of meeting has a magical feeling of being a secret enemy, but now I can't help but be assigned to the "border pass". Otherwise, I really want to hang around someone and then get out of the way.

Hurriedly put down the curtain in his hand, and the depressed feeling of being forced to hurry was swept away, and the carriage gradually accelerated, rubbing the man's red horse slowly.

Cheng Junlin always felt that someone was watching him secretly, and when he turned around, there was nothing except the carriage of Zhenwei Houfu, and he had nothing to do with Houfu, so he turned his head and didn't pay attention anymore.

The carriage of the Hou Mansion traveled on the road for two days, and the weather became more and more gloomy day by day. When we arrived at Song County, it was pouring rain, the rain was very urgent, and the whole sky was gloomy, and there was no momentum to stop at all.

"What should I do," Qiu Yu's face looked anxious, "It's still far from Tongcheng, how can such a heavy rain be good?" ”

Mother Xu hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, find an inn to live in first, and when the rain stops, let's go on the road again." ”

Mother Xu sent someone to pack up her things while taking care of her girl, and the inn in front of her looked quite clean and comfortable, but it was also suitable for resting. Ripples changed into a teenager's outfit, the green silk was bundled, and the thin lips were lightly opened, a beautiful young man with a face like a fan.

After a qiē was cleaned up, Qiu Tong respectfully bowed his head and replied to his girl: "The inn room has been cleaned up, aunt...... The young master can get out of the car." At a glance, I was a little stunned when I looked at my girl's face, and I always only said that my girl was good-looking, and I didn't expect that I would be so handsome and good-looking after changing into men's clothes.

Before Ripple got out of the car, he saw Mother Wei next to his mother, who was also following, with a face that was not kind at all and high cheekbones, and a cold expression that was not easy to get along with, Ripple stood stiffly in place, and looked at the nurse pitifully, only feeling that Tongcheng's trip was auspicious. Qiu Tong looked at the complaining face of her own girl, and couldn't help but bow a tear of sympathy in her heart.

Ripples froze in the car for a long time, and Mother Wei's hazy eyes immediately swept over, Ripples only felt that the stab on her back instantly cramped, and Mother Wei's eagle eyes made the "little mouse" in front of her nowhere to hide. Ripples jumped out of the car in a hurry, but it made Wei's mother unhappy. Ripple grinned, picked the room closest to the staircase, and rushed in. I don't care about Wei's mother's frowning eyebrows behind her back.

The experience of this moment can really be called terrifying, Ripple hurriedly poured two large bowls of tea, and Fang Jue's mind calmed down. After eating and living in the carriage for several days, and as soon as he got on the relatively clean and soft bed, Ripple felt that he was about to faint happily.

Outside the window, thunder roared, the gloomy sky was as bright as day every once in a while, purple lightning exploded outside the window, ripples ate steaming lilac ravioli, and the haze caused by the bad weather was swept away.

In the dead of night, the rain finally has the momentum to stop, and people who have been busy all day put down the fatigue of the day, and quietly fall asleep, but they hear the sudden wind and rain, lightning and thunder, "click", and I heard someone shouting outside-

"It's on fire!"

"The inn is on fire!"

"It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

Ripples sat up in a daze, and the cold wind broke through the window, mixed with fine rain and sand, and the smell of burnt charcoal fire extinguished.

Qiu Tong quickly dressed her, the heat wave approached one by one, people crowded and rushed out, a gust of wind blew, and all the lights in the house were extinguished in an instant, and the hustle and bustle outside the door continued, Qiu Tong rushed out with ripples. Regardless of the heavy wind and rain outside, with the crowded crowd, they rushed all the way to the courtyard.

The subordinates of the Hou Mansion were squeezed into this sudden natural disaster and didn't know where to go, but Qiu Tong was left to protect her in her arms, attached it to her ear, and said, "Don't be afraid. Coaxing the child's tone.

The fire was gradually extinguished by the rain, and the crowd outside fell into an eerie silence, the sleepiness of the early morning wrapped around everyone's body, but the spirit was extremely excited, unlike the previous bustling noise, everyone was silently thinking about what to do next.

The good inn was burned to charcoal, standing alone in the rain, even with the houses on the side, it was also black, Qiu Tong took the ripples to hide in the only stable that was not burned to avoid the rain, ripples looked at his brother's horse, stroked its mane, it turned out that you were also there, it was good.

After a while, before people's minds calmed down, there was even greater bad news - the water in Song Lake had risen!

After a series of heavy rains, the water storage capacity of Song Lake has far exceeded its expectations, and the lake water suddenly overflowed under the accumulation of heavy rains, washing away several river dams, and it is now about to flood Song County.

People from nearby villages had already run towards this end, and the crowd near the inn suddenly became chaotic again. Ripple's ears were buzzing, and he only felt that he had to confess his life for ten years in vain, and he couldn't use his strength all over.

Fortunately, the inn they had voted for was far away, and there was a big road leading up the hill behind it. Before the ripples could calm down, Qiu Tong gritted his teeth, hugged his girl on the horse, and said with tears: "Girl, water and fire are ruthless, seeing that the water is coming, you ride a horse and leave!" ”

Ripple was startled and came back to his senses, "No, Qiu Tong, get on the horse quickly, let's go together!" ”

Qiu Tong trembled his lips and said: "Girl, Songshan is still dozens of miles away from here, the flood will come when I don't know when, it's okay to carry you alone, carry me, I'm afraid it will affect the girl, the slave has been blessed by the Hou Mansion since she entered the Hou Mansion, and now, it's time to work hard to repay the favor...... " Saying, Qiu Tong relented, gave the horse a heavy blow with a wooden stick, and then ...... With tears in his eyes, he watched the frightened horses carry his girl farther and farther......

Ripples couldn't help the frightened horses, so they could only turn their heads in the direction of Qiu Tong and shout: "Qiu Tong...... There is always hope until the last minute...... Don't take your own ......"
