Jiang He faced the cold wind, felt a slight squirm on his chest, and poked himself with a thin and soft little finger, and the kitten in his arms seemed to say something, he pulled the reins and slowed down. Facing the cold wind, he bowed his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Tai Jiaojiao looked at him with misty eyes, "Where are we going?" ”

Although I know that this is not the same as in the past, I still have some fear of the unknown future. She has always been a flower raised in the greenhouse, not to mention the wind and rain, even the poisonous sun has never been seen.

Jiang He hugged her arm tightly when he heard this, simply stopped the horse, groaned, and said in a deep voice: "There are some xenophobia in the village where I live, you go back with me this time, and say to the outside that I rescued the orphan girl outside." ”

Well, she's an orphan now. Tai Jiaojiao nodded obediently.

Jiang He looked at her immature, but still bright and beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off, and couldn't help but tease her, "Just be a maid for Lao Tzu." Seeing Tai Jiaojiao's eyes wide, she seemed to be listening to some fantasy. He smiled angrily and reprimanded: "Okay, I won't make you work, you just don't make trouble for Lao Tzu." ”

is just this squeamish appearance, and she has to be served by someone.

After walking for about a day, Tai Jiaojiao followed Jiang He to the foot of a desolate mountain. It's winter, the snow is white, and the trees are bare and lifeless. Occasionally, one or two crows and sparrows flew by, which made people feel more lonely.

Tai Jiaojiao looked back at the road, and the snow began to fall again at some point, burying everything. The small dirt road, which was already very narrow, had been mixed up with the surrounding qiē.

She can't go back.

This mountain is deeper and bigger than Tai Jiaojiao imagined, and it is not so desolate.

At this time, he could no longer ride a horse, Jiang He led the horse with one hand, and Tai Jiaojiao was half-supported and half-full with the other. The two of them walked on the twisty mountain road, creaking and stepping on fresh snowflakes.

Looking at the sudden opening in front of her, and bursts of cheerful shouts, Tai Jiaojiao subconsciously shrank into Jiang He's arms. Now, this fierce beard is her only reliance. In addition to her, he is another warm bird's nest after his stepfather, and he is her mother bird.

A group of half-sized men ran over, and they could see that there were also people hurrying towards this side in the distance. One by one, they were elated and gossiping.

"The owner of the village has been out for a long time this time."

"Mr. Kong has already asked us to wait for the owner of the village here."

"The master of the village, I have already practiced the set of kung fu you taught me, I don't believe you can take a look."

"Owner, one of our cows froze to death, so the big guy was slaughtered, and he was waiting for you to come back and eat meat."

"The owner of the village, the old lady beat Jiang Song again the day before yesterday."

“……”

Finally, a sharp-eyed girl finally found Tai Jiaojiao, staring at her with a pair of eyes full of hostility, pouting and saying to Jiang He: "Village master, what is this?" ”

For the first time in her life, she was said to be 'something', and Tai Jiaojiao's eyes immediately widened with dissatisfaction. The petite princess who was held in the palm of the emperor's hand, just when she looked at you so lightly, you felt that you were low in the mud, and there was some inexplicable unease.

The girl who made the voice was called Xinghua, I think she had worked a lot, and her skin was a little rough and dark, but her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and beautiful. At this time, he was wearing a clean plum red shirt, which was quite beautiful. It's just that this person doesn't like Tai Jiaojiao a little. was shocked by Tai Jiaojiao's eyes, but then he disliked her even more.

Stinky girl, that dirty look! Dare to stare at me, dare to be so close to my relatives and creditors, my aunt and grandmother scratch your face!

Jiang He glanced at Xinghua lightly, and did not speak, but turned back to Tai Jiaojiao and whispered, "Don't be afraid." Then he ignored her, but patiently answered the questions of the people around him.

With a straight face, a big beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he doesn't look friendly at all, but the people around him like to believe him.

After Tai Jiaojiao let go of Jiang He, she automatically and spontaneously grabbed Jiang He's sleeve tightly with a pair of delicate white and tender little hands. Follow him with his head bowed in unison.

Most of the people around were also curious about Tai Jiaojiao, but they saw that Xinghua had no face. Everyone just looked at her curiously for a while, and didn't dare to ask Jiang He again.

You must know that although the owner of the village has always been sincere and kind, he is not a good-tempered person. They don't dare to touch the tiger's whiskers.

Xinghua was embarrassed by Jiang He in front of everyone, and she couldn't get off the stage. looked at the tall back that made her fascinated, bit her lip, and stomped her foot to follow.

Tai Jiaojiao followed Jiang He and walked slowly with the crowd, listening to their conversation intently, while secretly looking down at the surrounding environment with the corner of her eyes.

It was supposed to be a stockade hidden deep in the mountains, with rows of houses lined up in ashes, as if they were piled up with wood and mud, and the windows were small.

And along the way, women are rare, but men are the majority.

She kept it all in her heart.

Jiang He and his party stopped when they came to a single courtyard, and Tai Jiaojiao found that this was the only house with a courtyard. He said to a thin young man like a hemp pole next to him, "Fat Dun, you go and tell Mr. Kong that I am back, and let him come after dinner in the evening." Seeing that he turned his head and ran to the west, he turned to the surrounding crowd and said, "It's all gone." ”

Although everyone was reluctant, they also knew that the owner of the village should be tired from afar, so they all reluctantly retreated.

Only Xinghua was left standing there with a red face, and said to Jiang He infinitely: "Village master, you have worked hard all the way. Apricot blossoms will go in and serve you. ”

Her service is really simple, but with her spring expression, Tai Jiaojiao wants to be crooked. Rong had to think crookedly, in the palace, she had seen too many such women. It's clear that you're going to climb into bed. But as for what to do after climbing the bed, Tai Jiaojiao doesn't know. She only knew that this was what a shameless woman would do.

She blinked a pair of deer-like clear eyes, and her bones swirled between Jiang He and Xinghua.

Jiang He saw that she looked like a ghost, and she was clearly still as eccentric as she was when she was a child. His hands itched, and his heart itched. Reached out and tapped her finger on her smooth forehead, and said with a straight face: "What are you thinking, don't come in and wash me up." ”

Tai Jiaojiao was knocked by him painfully, and her little face wrinkled into a bun. I let out a grievance, and my eyes were red.

After she followed in, Jiang He ordered her to close the door. She looked at the apricot blossom who was glaring at her viciously outside the door, and hesitated. Jiang He's loud urging voice frightened her, and she closed the door without saying a word.

Xinghua didn't bite off a mouthful of silver teeth, and the handkerchief embroidered with apricot blossoms in his hand was torn. Covering his face and crying, he ran home.

Jiang He casually tucked the reins of the horse into the saddle and shouted loudly at the main house, "Grandmother, I'm back." ”

Immediately, a neutral voice came from inside, "Come back, come back, what are you shouting, your grandmother is not deaf!" ”

Jiang He shook his head and smiled, he didn't care, he glanced at Tai Jiaojiao and motioned for her to follow, and entered the main house in three or two steps.

Although the house had a yard, it was no different from the rows outside, all dusty. However, the inside of the house is bright, and the furnishings are simple and tidy. There are also some plum bottles on the black lacquer bar table behind the black lacquered wooden square table, which has a hint of elegance in the local atmosphere.

Tai Jiaojiao looked left and right, and looked at it like a white-haired old lady with a wrinkled face.

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, the old lady pursed the corners of her mouth, "Where did you get the wild girl, you are stupid." ”

Jiang He poured a cup of water into the teapot on the square table and drank it in one gulp, and poured another cup for the 'stupid wild girl' behind him, his beard trembled, and he said lightly: "I think she is pitiful for an orphan girl I picked up outside." If you want to bring it back, you can also be a companion with your elderly. ”

Tai Jiaojiao took that glass of water and drank it, although she drank water from a water bladder with a bearded man in the past few days, but that was a special case. How can I still drink water from him in a cup now, he hasn't even rinsed his mouth these days.

The old lady was stunned when she saw her holding a glass of boiled water, and she looked more and more stunned. But the temperament of the body is difficult to describe. Then he got closer, squinting his cloudy eyes and looking at Tai Jiaojiao carefully.

Although the clothes are dirty and shabby, the material is obviously good, but it doesn't fit well. It looked like an old man's clothes, and it looked very funny on her thin and immature body.

That face...... That face is really good, she has had ups and downs in her life, and she has never seen such a sign. Although the face is a little dirty, the skin is snow-white, the cheeks are red, and the facial features have not yet grown, but they are already exquisite. Those eyes are particularly outstanding, sparkling, and can soften people's hearts.

The old lady's eyes flashed, and she looked at Jiang He meaningfully, and saw that he nodded slightly, and she knew it from the bottom of her heart. Looking at Tai Jiaojiao again, there was some emotion on her face, with the color of memory in her eyes, she took two steps forward and took Tai Jiaojiao's hand and said kindly: "Good boy, let's stay here in the future." ”

Tai Jiaojiao was a little baffled by the old lady, her tender red lips squirmed uneasily, and she looked at Jiang He uneasily.

Jiang He saw her looking at herself pitifully, her big eyes were full of admiration, like a chick that had just hatched an eggshell looking at her mother. His fingers and heart began to itch again, and he hurriedly held back the itching of your stock, coughed and said, "This is my grandmother, and you will ...... in the future." Just follow me. ”

When Tai Jiaojiao heard this, she obediently said sweetly to the old lady: "Grandmother, my name is Mingjiao." "Brittle. She loved this old grandmother. She felt that this grandmother was very kind to her.

The old lady nodded again and again, looking at Jiang He's full of neutrality and the yin and yang weirdness of picking bones in the eggs, she took Tai Jiaojiao's hand and walked to a room next to it that was blocked by a curtain, "Come on, there is a kang in this room, it's warm." Hezi, Mama Qi is not here, you go and boil water, and let Jiaojiao wash it for a while. ”

Jiang He looked down at his Luo Tuo, his robe was still stained with a little mud, but the old man didn't seem to see it at all, and he was a little speechless. Seeing that the two had already opened the curtain and walked in, they simply picked up the teapot and drank the water.

I was in a hurry and didn't find a place to stay, so naturally there was no water to drink. The water in the water bladder is barely enough for Jiaojiao to drink alone, so he can only be thirsty. I was afraid that she would think too much about it, so she took a water bladder and dipped it in water on the way to make a show.

Thinking that the little white-eyed wolf just now still disliked his dirtiness and refused to use the cup from which he had drunk water, he shook his head helplessly and smiled.
