Xiaoxuan knelt in front of her father's grave for more than an hour, and we stood next to her quietly for an hour. After a long time, Xiao Xuan said softly to her father: "Dad, mother, Xiao Xuan and big brother are gone, as soon as I am free in the future, Xiao Xuan will come back to see you!" ”

After speaking, he shed a handful of tears, looked at the once happy home again, and said to me: "Big brother, let's go!" Wherever you go in the future, Xiaoxuan will follow there! ”

Immediately, a group of four people re-embarked on the road to the north, but there were not enough mounts, so they had to let Xiaoxuan and Luo Rou ride together.

Xinye was a land of right and wrong at this time, and we did not enter the city, bypassing the small city and continuing north along the White River.

When I arrived in Nanyang, the city gate was closed, so I had to find an inn outside the city to stay, and then enter the city the next day.

The next day, I went into the city to buy a horse, and bought two sets of clothes for Xiaoxuan, seeing that she was in a bad mood, we didn't have the intention of playing, so we didn't stop, and went north.

Although I want to recognize Xiaoxuan as my sister, she must be a girl for me, no matter how much persuasion is useless, I have to let her take care of Tian Yunxin and them.

Maybe it's in response to the saying "the children of poor families are in charge early", although Xiaoxuan is only fifteen years old, but she is in good order, she can do it properly when she eats and stays in the hotel, and when she stays in the hotel at night, she will rush to the kitchen to cook vegetables, we want her to rest, but she always promises, and every time she stays, she is still the same. Although it was just some home-cooked side dishes, she made it very carefully and tasted great, and later, every night, everyone got used to her home-cooked side dishes and no longer persuaded her. Even the financial power was handed over to her, and she was very competent, and she would never spend what she shouldn't spend, and she could cut off the price when she should spend.

On the third day, they arrived at Fangcheng, the hometown of Chen Sheng, who was the first to take up arms and lead the people to rebel against the tyrannical Qin.

After these two days, Xiaoxuan's mood gradually improved under the care of me, Tian Yunxin, and Luo Rou. In order to make her happier, we spent three days in a row browsing the cliff statues of Fogou, Funiu Mountain, Qifeng Mountain and other places, and finally went to the Mahayana Mountain, which was built in the Zhenguan period. I heard others say that the first person who enters the temple every day to burn incense, the Buddha takes pity on his sincerity and will help him achieve what he wants. On this day, Xiaoxuan almost sleepless all night, before the rooster crowed, he pulled us to the Puyan Zen Temple, waiting for the mountain gate to open and be the first to go in to burn incense and pray for blessings

When Xiaoxuan got her wish on the first pillar of incense, she thought of being separated from her father and mother who loved her forever, and she couldn't help crying again. I persuaded two words on the side, and then called the temple to congratulate, offered fifty taels of sesame oil money, and on the same day in the temple for Xiaoxuan's parents to do a ceremony, and offered twenty taels, please light a pillar of incense for Xiaoxuan's parents in the temple every day, and even point 7749 days.

Xiao Xuan looked at me doing this very gratefully, looking at me who was busy with Zhang Luo, Xiao Xuan smiled, smiled very happily, she knew that there was someone who would love her and love her like her father, and she would also care and love this person as her dearest person.

Before leaving, Xiaoxuan went to ask for four peace charms, and solemnly helped us hang them around our necks.

After a ritual came down, most of the day had passed, and when he left after finishing a qiē, it was already dark, so he hurried and hurried back, and finally returned to Fangcheng before closing the city gate.

Everyone was tired of the day, returned to the inn where they stayed, and the three girls went back to the house to take a bath. I ordered food and drinks in the hall and waited for the three of them.

It often takes a long time for girls to clean up themselves, and they are very bored, so they want to come to the inn to brew their own rice wine, and drink a plate of peanuts and rice leisurely.

The inn's business is not very good, and there are only three tables of diners at more than ten tables, perhaps because it is past dinner time.

At a table at the top of the stairs sat a businessman in his forties, who ordered seven or eight dishes and a pot of wine, and ate a shiny meal, while a servant hung behind, and did not make any extra moves except to pour wine for the master.

At a table by the door sat a young couple, who did not pay attention to the food and drinks on the table, and from time to time teased the child in the woman's arms, who looked to be just a full moon old.

On the other table, there are actually acquaintances, of course, the so-called acquaintances are just one side. It was a middle-aged couple, with a wrought iron stand next to the man against a wooden table, and a pair of mandarin duck short knives next to the woman's left hand. If you hadn't seen these two weapons, you might not necessarily remember them, these two people were the middle-aged couple they saw when they met the so-called third master in Xiangfan that day. I didn't expect to meet them here after such a long time. They obviously didn't recognize me, and it's no wonder that their attention was all on the third master that day, so naturally they didn't have the time to care about others.

Half a pot of wine was down, and they were still rubbing in the house, and it was difficult to find a trace.

I shook my head and sighed and continued drinking.

Just then, an old man walked in.

The old man looked about forty, wearing a wide green robe, light-colored cloth trousers, long eyebrows and kind eyes, and a four- or five-inch long beard on his chin, which gave people the feeling of an elegant old man. The iron sword in his hand looked like it was some years old, but he obviously didn't use this sword as a weapon, and he saw him walk in step by step with his sword, and he used it as a crutch.

When the man saw the guests coming, he hurriedly ran over. I sat down next to me and the middle-aged couple and asked for a pot of wine, a plate of steamed buns, and half a catty of cooked mutton.

This old man is by no means a simple looking plane, looking at him in his forties at most, his face is full of red light, and his breathing is long, he is definitely not a dying old man, on the contrary, his internal strength is unusually deep. Then he pretended to be weak and couldn't help but make me curious, so I looked at him twice. The old man was very alert, although I pretended to look at him a few times inadvertently, but he soon noticed me, turned his head to look at me, just here, I clearly saw a cold light flashing in the old man's eyes, I experienced life and death on the battlefield, I immediately understood, it was murderous! The murderous aura flashed away, and the old man still looked like a virtuous man.

I didn't dare to look any more and continued to drink.

The middle-aged couple next to me, who were still talking and laughing, were like ghosts after the old man entered the store, no longer talking, no longer eating and drinking, and the two sat there silently, not even having the courage to leave.

This couple is definitely a good hand, and even they are so afraid of the old man, which also shows that the old man is not simple.

At this time, the three girls walked down hand in hand. Tian and Luo are people who have beautiful weather and disaster to the country and the people, so naturally there is no need to say much. Xiaoxuan also likes the delicate appearance after changing into new clothes and dressing up. Coupled with the pain of the death of his parents, there is always a faint sadness between his eyebrows, which is even more pitiful.

But the appearance of the three did not attract much attention. The middle-aged couple meditated on Amitabha, hoping that the evil star would leave quickly, and did not bother to pay attention to others. The young couple only had their children in their eyes, and they didn't have time to pay attention to others. The old man may be a little old and has little interest in women.

Only the wealthy businessman, when the three of them walked out of the door, his eyes never left, only to see him grasping a chicken leg in his left hand, and pinching a piece of roasted meat in his right hand, and his mouth was wide open like a sea basin, and the various cooked meat and saliva that had been chewed in his mouth flowed all over the ground, and the people who saw it had no appetite.

After Xiao Xuan sat down, she was facing him, and seeing his appearance, she couldn't help but think of Xu Wuhou, who was also like this when he wanted to bully herself. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan threw herself into my arms like a frightened rabbit, her body trembling, obviously terrified.

I hugged her lovingly, gently touched the back of her chest, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxuan, there is a big brother here!" ”

Tian Yunxin also reached out and touched Xiao Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Xiao Xuan is not afraid, my brothers and sisters will protect you!" ”

Xiaoxuan gradually felt relieved, her body no longer trembled, but she still didn't dare to leave my embrace, she was afraid to see the person's appearance together.

At this moment, the merchant suddenly said something to his servant, and the servant immediately came over and said to the old man: "Old man, get away, don't bother my master, don't blame me for tearing down your old bones!" ”

When the middle-aged couple heard the servant's words, they were shocked and looked up at the servant, as if they were looking at a dead man.

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes......" got up, picked up the flask in one hand, grabbed the sword in the other, and walked to a table by the window.

The guy said secretly: "Something's wrong!" He hurriedly helped the old man bring the food over, said a few words of apology, and went to the backyard, he did not dare to persuade the businessman, he was also afraid of being implicated, so he avoided it far away.

The servant went over and helped the merchant over, and when he was seated, the servant called the man and ordered him to prepare a new table of the most expensive food and drinks.

After the servant finished this, he walked over in two steps and said, "Three young ladies, my lord really wants to get to know the three of them, please come and sit down and talk!" ”

Xiao Xuan had already calmed down, and after listening to his words, her body couldn't help but tremble again. I felt so sorry that I hugged her hard.

Luo Rou knew that he had scared Xiao Xuan, and shouted: "Get out of ......"

The servant felt Luo Rou's anger, but he didn't feel terrible, and he didn't flinch, and said, "This young lady, my lord is the richest man in Luoyang, and he has hundreds of millions of family fortunes in his family. If my lord is happy, I can't accept you as a small one, and then Hou Jin's clothes and jade food, silk and satin will ......not be exhausted."
