The twilight is already twilight, and a light is like a bean.

The cold wind struck, penetrating the crack in the window, and the dancing candle flame pounced on the woman who was sitting on the Huanghuali Luohan couch and weeping silently like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

Tomorrow, the Xie family will be beheaded.

The majestic and magnificent General Xie Mansion in the past has been prosperous and has been besieged by heavy soldiers, and the cold light of swords and guns looks even more cold-blooded and ruthless against the backdrop of the snowy night.

If you collaborate with the enemy and rebel, you will definitely die.

Captain Song, who was standing behind the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, sighed and said:

"Mrs. Xu, you also know the temper of the lord, what he hates most is a traitor, and the accusation of collaborating with the enemy is ironclad, and there is no room for maneuver."

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were many heroes, and the lord Zhu Yuanzhang was a hero, and his subordinates were all brave and warlike generals, and Mrs. Xu's father Xie Zaixing was one of them.

How much Zhu Yuanzhang valued Xie Zaixing before, and how much he hates him now.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help crying, "Xianggong...... Didn't you persuade the lord again? My father followed the lord for many years, before and after the saddle, he was born and died. My sister is still the nephew and daughter-in-law of the lord, how can my father rebel, someone must have planted the blame! ”

Mrs. Xu's husband is the famous general Xu Da, and her sister is married to Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng. Xie Zaixing has no children, but his two daughters, the Xie family, are famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and the big and small Qiao sisters in the Three Kingdoms period are equally famous.

The big and small Xie sisters have the reputation of Wuzhong Shuangbi.

It's a pity that in the past, the eyes were horizontal, and now the spring of tears, and the troubled times are so thin.

The blushing face was mournful. Captain Song, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help but soften, but he was helpless and said:

"The lord is extra gracious, saying that the sin is not as good as marrying a daughter. General Xu also instructed his subordinates, saying that Mrs. was born as a member of the Xu family and died as a ghost of the Xu family, and you will continue to enjoy the honor of the general's wife. Mrs. Xu, please hurry up and go back with the eldest lady. ”

Xie Zaixing's rebellion, with all the human and material evidence, is already an iron case. The son-in-law, the general Xu Da, also suffered from suspicion, and almost risked his life to fight, using his military exploits to offset the suspicions of the lord Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is not easy for anyone to survive in troubled times. Fortunately, a woman is not married to her father, but she is married to her husband. As long as the general Xu Da is standing, Mrs. Xu and the eldest lady can be safely preserved.

Captain Song's task was to protect the mother and daughter, so he persuaded: "General Xu has done his best. Madam, it's useless to cry now, you can hurry up and take the eldest lady away...... The eldest lady is only seven years old, and it is not good for her to see the tragedy of her grandfather's whole family being beheaded. ”

Both parents died tragically, how can an orphan girl survive? Mrs. Xu longed to die with her family, but although the woman was weak, the mother was strong, and she herself was a person without parents after dawn, and her heart was like a knife, of course, she was reluctant to let her young daughter be so lonely with her.

Mrs. Xu stopped crying, walked to the side of the bed on the door shelf of the Huanghuali Moon Cave in the compartment bedroom, opened the warm tent and looked, but the baby daughter was gone!

Is there room for eggs under the nest? On a snowy night, a small figure loomed in the Xie Mansion where the building was about to fall, and it seemed that it would be swept away by the raging north wind at any time.

It's cold!

The eldest lady Xu Feng tightened the windy fox fur on her body, and put the Guanyin pocket on her head to shelter from the wind and snow, and the snow under her feet had already submerged the sheepskin boots.

Xu Feng woke up in the middle of the night, heard the conversation between her mother and Song Xiaowei, and knew ignorantly that her grandfather's whole family was confined in the ancestral hall, she didn't understand what "captivity" meant, but she missed her grandfather and grandmother's arms and the candy in their hands, and she also wanted to play with her cousins, so she secretly got up and got out of the bedroom window.

The snow was falling, and the Xie Mansion was covered in silver, and the wind swept away the dead branches and danced, projecting on the pink wall snow, like a fierce ghost in hell with teeth and claws.

Jiangmen Tiger Girl, Xu Fengren is bold and not afraid, her fat little face is red from the cold, she sees the ancestral hall in the distance brightly lit, and she can vaguely see a figure, she ran over quickly, leaving a string of deep and shallow footprints in the snow.

Squeak!

Xu Feng pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, but he was greeted by a pair of straight insteps! She slowly raised her head and saw a corpse with wide eyes hanging on the beam of the ancestral hall!

There is an uncle and aunt who was white-headed overnight, and there is also a six-year-old cousin who built a snowman with her the day before yesterday!

Everyone was wearing pure white robes, and the word "injustice" was written in blood on it!

The Xie family's more than 30 lives chose to hang themselves at the end of their lives to maintain their last dignity and cry out in despair.

The young Xu Feng stood in place, the north wind blew off the fox skin Guanyin pocket on her head, and the temperature on her body seemed to be taken away by the wind in an instant, she was like a snow doll, her body was cold, and her limbs could not move.

The throat seems to be like a rope around the grandfather's family who committed suicide by hanging a beam, and the breath can't come in or out.

It was dark in front of him, and the "snow doll" fell on the threshold of the ancestral hall.

When Xu Feng woke up, it was already a day later. Last night, Captain Song escorted the mother and daughter back to Nanjing overnight and left the tomb-like Xie Mansion.

Riddled with nightmares, Xu Feng woke up from the wolf skin mattress in the carriage suddenly, Mrs. Xu hurriedly hugged her daughter and patted her on the back gently, "Don't be afraid, my mother is here, you just had a nightmare." ”

"Mother, they're all dead."

The carefree Xu Feng stayed at the moment when he pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and never came back. At this moment, Xu Feng curled up her body, she grew up overnight, and the cruelty of reality made it impossible for her to deceive herself and deceive herself with nightmares.

Feeling the body of the daughter in her arms trembling violently, Mrs. Xu whispered the ballad of Wu Zhong in Xu Feng's ear, as if Xu Feng was still a baby in swaddling clothes.

The tears have long since dried up, her mother's family is dead, and the future seems to be bleak, but for the sake of her daughter, Mrs. Xu's backbone has gradually strengthened [Standing up, she swore not to shed a single tear in front of her daughter.

Outside the carriage, Captain Song rode his horse and knocked on the carriage, "Madam, it's getting late, I'll stay here tonight, and I'll be able to arrive in Nanjing City at noon tomorrow." ”

Rattle!

"Mother, there are crows outside."

Although the voice was like a mosquito, seeing that her daughter gradually calmed down, Xiao Xie's sadness seemed to disappear a little, and hurriedly agreed: "Feng'er is right, there is a jackdaw perched on the branch by the roadside. ”

Ancient vines and old trees, jackdaws, broken intestines are at the end of the world.

Xu Feng opened the car window, and the jackdaws on the old tree were startled by the sound of the horses' hooves of the convoy and flew away, and the remnants of snow wrapped around the dead vines on the old tree fell, as if it had fallen heavily.

Xu Feng's gaze followed the pitch-black jackdaw until it turned into a small black dot and disappeared into the vast sky.

"My grandfather said that jackdaws like to eat carrion, so there are most of them on the battlefield and in the graveyards." Xu Feng muttered and turned to look at his mother, "Mother, is this jackdaw going to fly to my grandfather's house?" ”

Mrs. Xu was stunned, not knowing how to answer her daughter, and she tried to force back the sourness that surged up in her nose and eyes. There is no innocence in her daughter's eyes, like an ancient well, no matter how brilliant the sun is, she can't shine into it.

At this moment, the carriage shook violently! Xu Feng stood unsteadily, crashed into the carriage, and was held in her arms by her mother halfway.

Mrs. Xu bowed her body to protect her daughter with her soft chest and abdomen, but her tail spine slammed into the table leg of the desk firmly nailed to the floor in the carriage.

Cold sweat broke out on her aching forehead, but she still held her daughter and didn't let go.

"There are assassins! Defend Madame! Captain Song roared as he jumped from his horse to the wheel with his shield, and immediately three arrows were shot at the shield.

Captain Song opened the car door and shouted, "Madam! The horse pulling the cart was out of control by an arrow, so hurry up and get off with the eldest lady! ”

The tail vertebrae were broken, and Mrs. Xu couldn't stand up, she tried her best to crawl in the carriage and handed Xu Feng out, "Captain Song, you take Feng'er to break through first, I won't do it, I don't have to drag you down." ”

Captain Song shouted, "Madam! Cannot! ”

Mrs. Xu smiled sadly, pulled out the plain silver hairpin on her bun, and pierced it into her throat, like a cold plum withering and grinding into dust.

The Xie family gave birth to such a fierce woman, how could she be a traitor? At that moment, the scales in Captain Song's heart began to sway, remembering the blood-red word "injustice" on his clothes when the Xie family committed suicide that night......

The situation was critical, and he was not allowed to think about it, Captain Song carried Xu Fengfei on the horse, and protected the eldest lady with his body and shield, the lady was gone, if he couldn't even protect the eldest lady, he would not have the face to see General Xu with his head.

At this time, the hundred-person escort team also lined up to fight back, but there were too many assassins, and an ambush was set up on the retreat road, the escorts fell one after another, it was already dark, Captain Song's legs were shot through by the bow [crossbow, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and the fox fur big man who was tightly hugged in his arms also rolled to the ground, and it was actually a small scarecrow inside!

"What about that kid?!" The masked assassin leader put the knife on Captain Song's neck and deliberately suppressed his voice, "Tell me honestly, I will spare you from death!" ”

Captain Song was seriously wounded, his breath was weak, and his words were slurred, and after saying a few words, the assassin could not hear clearly, so he lowered his head close to his lips.

Oh! Captain Song's hands were tied, but taking advantage of the moment when the assassin was listening carefully, he opened his mouth and bit the assassin's masked cloth towel, and pulled it violently!

"It's you!"

Seeing the face of an old acquaintance, Captain Song was extremely shocked, and spit out three words with difficulty, "Why?" ”

Revealing his true face, the assassin's face was as cold as ice, and with a swing of the knife, blood from his neck splashed three feet, but on the blade of the snowy sword, it was like a mirror that reflected the face of Captain Song.

Ten days later, the city of Suzhou.

Xu Feng, whose hands and feet were full of frostbite and looked like a little beggar, her forehead was hot, and the goose feather snow melted immediately when it fell on it. She collapsed at the door of a temple. A burly monk with a sleepy face carried her into Yao Ji Pharmacy for treatment.

Half a month later, Xu Feng slowly woke up, and the monk asked, "Who are you?" Who are the parents at home? ”

So many tragic memories are surging into my head, and it is painful. Xu Feng struggled to squirm his dry and molten lips, but said, "Who am I?" I don't remember. ”
