Liu Xiaohua motioned for her not to speak, and said to the outside, "Put it at the door." ”

"This food is put on the ground for fear of insects. You open the door. The monk's voice was not loud.

"This ...... But our clothes were soaked with snow, and we were taking off and roasting on the kang......" Liu Xiaohua said embarrassedly.

The monk was silent for a while, and then said, "Then put it on the ground for you." Hurry up and get in there, don't get crawled by insects and ants. ”

"You have to dry your clothes." Liu Xiaohua said, "Master, let's get busy with other things first." ”

"That's good." Said the people outside.

Liu Xiaohua grabbed the three branches tightly, she didn't move, and she didn't let her move.

There was nothing outside except the sound of wind and snow, and Sanzhi was impatient to speak, Liu Xiaohua made a shushing gesture, carefully moved to the door, and put her ear on the door.

I felt like my legs were going numb when I heard someone walk through the door. The footsteps went from near to far. Although you are very careful, the snow on the ground is thick, and it is inevitable that it will creak when you step down.

Sanzhi's face was a little bad at this time, "What is he doing?" Could it be that you have been waiting here to help us watch the meal? Afraid of being crawled by insects? ”

"Not really. These monks are rare good people in the world. Liu Xiaohua said.

Sanzhi was a little embarrassed. Think about it and be a little scared, "Otherwise, let's go." You're weird and scary. ”

Liu Xiaohua was really relieved.

If Sanzhi refuses to leave and doesn't believe her, then she really has no other way. It's okay to knock out the three branches and drag them away, but the key is that she can't drag them.

The two of them casually packed up their things and dragged the quilt out of the window.

At this time, the wind was so loud that no one noticed them.

The hemp seed didn't lie to people this time, and there was really a dog hole in the east. The hole is very small, and adults must not be able to get by, but Liu Xiaohua and Sanzhi are reluctant.

The two of them climbed out, wrapped the quilt around their bodies, wrapped their eyes outside, and walked briskly towards the road outside the town in the face of the wind and snow.

As Sanzhi walked, he complained, "I wouldn't have scolded that old thing if I had known." Didn't you just scold him? Then asked Liu Xiaohua, "How can you think that they want to harm us?" ”

Liu Xiaohua felt that her own people were going to be blown away by the wind, "I didn't expect that I would be able to think so carefully one day." ”

In the past, when others talked about her, they all said that she was a little girl who was 'more willful but a little simple'.

She herself also felt that she was really 'natural'.

I just went to the place where I worked, I couldn't do this well, I couldn't do that well, but my temper was still a little bit. The first reaction when something happened was to call home and cry, and after crying, the family would ask fellow villagers to help. Later, when I had a boyfriend, I cried with my boyfriend and waited for him to deal with everything.

It can be seen that in a comfortable environment, people never know their own limits and abilities. When you reach the danger of not being able to count on others, and understand that you can't continue to live stupidly, you can gradually know what kind of person you are.

To be honest, who in this world is really stupid enough to take care of himself? It's just a matter of saving trouble.

The two of them chatted without saying a word, distracting themselves by the strong beating, as if they were not so cold, and walked forward along the road.

The world is vast, and it is as beautiful as a painting, but unfortunately neither of them is in the mood to appreciate it. I don't know how long I walked, but Sanzhi suddenly said, "Do you actually want to be a monk?" ”

Liu Xiaohua thought for a while and said: "It's a matter of whether you can cultivate the avenue, but it's always not wrong to have a skill." Look at today's events, if we have some ability, how dare he deceive people like this? ”

"Then you told your family that you were going to the city to look for a job, but in fact, did you want to secretly enter the clan school by yourself?" Sanzhi's eyes were wide, staring at her curiously.

At this time, Liu Xiaohua suddenly stopped: "Is someone catching up?" I feel like I'm ready to hear a voice. ”

Now, they had just come to a fork in the road, and it seemed that there was a voice coming from the direction they were coming from.

Sanzhi looked back awkwardly.

On the distant horizon, there was indeed a light coming this way.

But the light walked slowly. Maybe only a little faster than they could walk. And it was a long one, so that it didn't look like a chasing soldier, but more like a convoy that was rushing at night like the two of them.

"We're really lucky." Saneda said excitedly, "Wait for the convoy to come up, and ask them to take us all the way." ”

Liu Xiaohua said cautiously: "If it weren't for the last resort like us, I wouldn't have walked at night, in case I was implicated by them......"

Sanzhi said impatiently: "Yes, yes, yes." This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. You've been so weird lately. A little thing has to be said to be bigger than the sky. She walked all the way, the wind blew and the snow blows, and now she feels that the family temple is good. After thinking about it carefully, I thought more and more that Liu Xiaohua's analysis was just self-frightened. So I held my stomach and didn't bother to talk to Liu Xiaohua.

But as the two men were walking, they heard the horses' hooves hurrying on another fork in the road.

The horse galloped past the two men and ran ahead of them. But he rushed out and shouted "Huh" and pulled the horse to turn and retreat in front of them. Asked: "This road passes, but Tiancheng?" The man was dressed like a bear, with two large bags on his horse, and he was talking hot. Maybe I'm in a hurry to send something to Tiancheng.

"Yes." Sanzhi replied, "We are also going to Tiancheng." It's just to go this way. Only then did Liu Xiaohua know that the place she was going to was called Tiancheng.

The man on horseback thanked him and hurried away.

Sanzhi looked at his back enviously and said, "Marco is precious." Ten pigs don't know if they can change a horse. ”

As he was talking, he heard a bang in front of him, and the horse that had been running well suddenly fell to his knees, and the people above him also fell a long way.

Liu Xiaohua was startled, and hurriedly ran over there and shouted, "Are you okay?" "I didn't hear back.

She ran a few more steps and suddenly stopped walking.

Sanzhi was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Xiaohua said loudly to Sanzhi, "You stand here." I'm afraid he's not a good guy. If something happens to me, you can stay and run. Go find someone in the back convoy. ”

Sanzhi was startled, covered his ears and shouted to her: "Why are you yelling so loudly when you are standing so close?" You're crazy! ”

Liu Xiaohua still said in a small voice: "I said it to him." In case he has bad thoughts. Just dismiss it as soon as possible. ”

"People are falling like that, what idea can they beat you!" Sanzhi covered his ears and muttered, "You have a lot of things to do along the way." "It's already very dissatisfied.

Liu Xiaohua didn't care what she said, and when she saw that she was standing in place and didn't move, she turned around and walked in the direction of the horse rider.

But the closer Liu Xiaohua got, the more she had a strange sense of crisis.

It's like, something bad is waiting for her ahead. Or maybe something terrible lurks in the dark.

She walked over to the horse, clumsily opened the horse's eyelids, and saw that it was all black and red, as if the blood had suddenly congealed. On the horse's ears, there is a small needle's eye, and the needle's tail is illuminated by the snow light, reflecting the cold light, which is extremely conspicuous.

Subconsciously, she looked at the snow around her. Obviously, there is nothing in the snow, but it makes people feel chills in their backs.

"What's wrong with the horse?" Sanzhi asked loudly in the distance.

"I don't know." Liu Xiaohua said loudly in a tone as if nothing had happened: "Maybe I died of a sudden illness." ”

"Isn't that man going to die too?" Sanzhi was shocked. After all, it was still alive just now.

Liu Xiaohua could only stubbornly move forward and walk to that person's side. He leaned his neck limply to the side. "Ahh She was startled.

Saneda asked, "What's wrong?" "I'm going to come here.

"Don't come, don't come!" Liu Xiaohua said loudly, "This person was killed by a horse." As he spoke, he ran back and shouted, "I'm scared to death." Why is this man so unlucky, he died of illness while riding a horse, and he fell to his death. It's scary to walk at night, so let's go back and find a place to rest overnight and start tomorrow. ”

When Sanzhi heard this, he became angry: "I said just now that I live in the clan temple." It's not you yet, who said this and that, and now you've come here, and you're saying you want to turn back!! ”

Liu Xiaohua also seemed to be angry, and said angrily, "How do I know that I will meet a horse who falls to his death!" While pretending to quarrel, he grabbed Sanzhi's hand, pulled her and walked back.

Sanzhi was so angry that he kept struggling, "How far does the Hui Temple have to go!! I'm not going back! I'm annoying you! ”

Liu Xiaohua glanced at the convoy. It's only about three hundred meters away.

"If you don't go back, you won't go back." Liu Xiaohua refused to leave when she saw that Sanzhi was dead, and said half-actingly: "You are not annoyed, you have always blamed me." Okay, okay, if you don't go back, then take another way, I remember that the other way only needs to stay back and walk a little bit to have a place to rest. Let's go. Go the other way. ”

Pull the three branches from the three-way road to the road where there is no convoy.

"What bad luck!" Liu Xiaohua seemed to be arguing with her companions on her face, but she was panicked in her heart. I didn't dare to look around, and subconsciously felt that there were many eyes staring at me, as long as I was slightly wrong, I might die like the horse and the person just now.

Sanzhi was still complaining: "You haven't walked over here, how do you know that the other one has a place to rest?" ”

Liu Xiaohua perfunctory: "I listened to what Daddy said when he was alive. No matter how Sanzhi resisted, he dragged her to another way.

Just go the other way. No matter what kind of situation it is, it's none of my business. The hand holding Sanzhi tightened a little more.

But just when the two men returned to the fork in the road, they saw from a distance a man on horseback coming out of the convoy and coming this way.

Liu Xiaohua sped up her pace, but she was as fast as the one who rode the horse. All of a sudden, the other party was close at hand. Ask them in a loud voice, "What's going on up ahead?" ”

Mitsueda replied impatiently and loudly, "What can happen?" The man fell ill while walking at night, and fell to his death at once. "It's really unlucky to die, and you will meet a dead person when you go out." ”

The horse stopped, as if he had no intention of looking any further. I turned around and planned to go back to the convoy to resume my life.

Liu Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief.

But Sanzhi stopped the man and hurriedly asked, "Can you let us take a ride?" There were dead people in front of us in the middle of the night, and we two women were really afraid. Liu Xiaohua was so anxious that she gave her a fierce look, but she didn't care at all.

The horseback frowned, obviously unwilling.

Sanzhi shook off Liu Xiaohua's hand and said to the rider with a smile, "Lao, please help ask the master's family." We are all part of our lives. Okay, okay. ”

The rider hesitated for a moment and nodded. And he went away.

Sanzhi said triumphantly to Liu Xiaohua: "Don't think so badly of everyone!" The family said that the outside world is chaotic, because they are afraid that we don't know the depth and scare us, no matter how chaotic it is? After all, there are many good people in this world, as long as you speak with a good voice, there will always be someone willing to help you. Don't look at everyone as if everyone is a bad person, as if everyone wants to harm you. For no reason, why should others harm you. ”

Liu Xiaohua really had the heart to strangle her at this moment. But the snowy night was silent, and a little human voice would be far away, and it was impossible to say anything to her in private. But come to think of it, she won't believe it.

I had to look annoyed, and shook off Sanzhi's hand, "Whatever you want." If you like to ride in someone else's car, go and sit well. He turned around and continued on the fork in the road. I thought that Sanzhi would come to chase after him. walked a little farther and explained it to her again, but I didn't expect to go far away, and Sanzhi was still standing in place and didn't move.

Liu Xiaohua held her breath and stepped into the snow step by step. Determined to no longer care whether Sanzhi lives or dies.

After all, what does she have to do with Sanzhi?

Sanzhi's younger brother was indeed killed by Liu Er, but what does Liu Er have to do with himself? Speaking of which, the stone also killed Liu's father! Who owes and who pays back two!!

Besides, no matter how good the relationship between Sanzhi and Liu Xiaohua is, even if they grow up together, what about it? I am not Liu Xiaohua! There is no reason to accept Liu Xiaohua's mother, and she has to take over a 'good friend' who doesn't listen! I don't owe Liu Xiaohua anything!

But as she walked, her steps slowly stopped.

At this time, the horses in the convoy came rushing again, "My master agreed." Come here. ”

Sanzhi sneered, glanced at Liu Xiaohua and said, "Only I go." She's not going to go. She is very tall and looks down on your master's car. Disdain to sit. ”

The man on the horse suddenly looked a little unpleasant, and said coldly, "Since the master has a life, I have to ask you to move." "The implication is that you don't want to sit now, you have to sit.

Liu Xiaohua was stared at by him, and then looked at his hand on the waist knife, and could only go to the convoy with Sanzhi under his care.

The convoy is very large. The head and tail are horse-drawn carriages. In front of and on the left and right sides of the team, there are dead winds hanging in the air to illuminate.

The lanterns, which were not supported at all, emitted a warm yellowish glow, slowly moving in the sky with the procession, illuminating the way.

Before, Liu Xiaohua only knew very abstractly what the world was like, but when she saw this kind of scene in real time now, the strong sense of impact made her forget for a moment how dangerous the shape she was in.

It was only then that she really felt the magic of this world.

Sanzhi had forgotten that he had fallen out with Liu Xiaohua just now, and pulled Liu Xiaohua in surprise and told her to look at the first car at the front of the convoy.

The car was really scary.

Pulling the cart were seven white horses without variegation, oily and slippery, with golden heads, and even if they were just walking slowly, these horses looked majestic. The roof was not high, but it was as wide as four horses side by side, and the hanging bells hanging from the four corners of the car jingled as it moved.

The owner must be in this car.

Because when they walked over, a pair of jade hands were throwing something out. In the gap in the curtain, many beauties flashed by, and the sound of musical strings leaked out of it, and after walking closer, there was a fragrant breeze.

Who else but the host would enjoy it like this.

The man who picked them up got off his horse, stood in front of the car, bowed and said, "Childe." People have been brought. ”

After a while, a woman's delicate voice came from inside, "Childe said, take them to the placement." He sneered again, "You really don't know how to do things anymore, and you still have to explain this little thing." ”

The leader of the way confessed: "It is the fault of the subordinates." "Walk backwards with two people.

Behind this splendid car was a small phalanx.

The men on horseback in the phalanx were dressed in the same clothes as those who took them. It's all black armor and golden scabbards.

Behind it was a blue-coloured single-horse caravan.

Probably the servants were sitting.

The guide stopped the horse and said to Liu Xiaohua and Sanzhi, "You go to the back and find a car to sit on." He said that he had ordered it. ”

Sanzhi hurriedly saluted and said happily, "Thank you." ”

The guard smiled and glanced at Liu Xiaohua coldly.

The guard left, and Liu Xiaohua was about to talk to Sanzhi, but Sanzhi passed directly through her, turned around and walked towards the nearest car. Liu Xiaohua grabbed Sanzhi, Sanzhi opened her hand suddenly, and said, "You don't pull me." Are we related? I just said a few words to you, and you want to lose your temper so much, and you have to cut me off? At that time on the street, you told me not to point at others and laugh and knock my hands off. I'm not mad at you, am I?! You're so amazing that you can't even say it? When I was beaten by you, was that what I was beaten? ……”

Liu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and she knew why she was so angry, it turned out to be because of this incident. hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to hit you...... If you're angry about it, I'll pay you a fee. But the quarrel I had with you just now wasn't true, it was because the horse and the man died unclearly, and I'm afraid the road ahead ......."

"Come on!" Sanzhi interrupted her and sneered, "What's the problem?" Along the way, you either say that there is a problem with this or that there is a problem. Pretending to be more knowledgeable and sophisticated. But what kind of person are you and how capable you are, I still don't know? ”

"In the temple of that clan, there are really ......"

Sanzhi interrupted her again: "Anyway, now that we're gone, we can't confirm it." It's not all just about you. ”

Liu Xiaohua paused, looked at the three branches in front of her, suppressed her annoyance, and said calmly, "If you are really angry for me to hit your hand, I will accompany you, I was anxious at the time, for fear that others would look back and see you, for fear that you would offend people and cause trouble." We don't have a ...... roots."

Sanzhi said indifferently: "Yes, you are right. "Turn around and get in the car.

Liu Xiaohua stood under the car in a daze for a while, and suddenly laughed. Who is to blame?

Immediately, the idea of reporting the news was dispelled. She was afraid that if she ran to that son and said anything now, people would not believe her. Even if you believe it, who knows what kind of brain circuit this son is, if she asks the guards to send her to check the horse injury, then she will not die. Anyway, in the eyes of these people, her life is not worth anything. She didn't dare to risk herself. The best thing to do is to leave nothing and don't meddle in anything, so as to minimize the involvement with these people.

So, she only said to Sanzhi, who was getting into the car, "If there is anything, run to the end of the convoy." He turned around and walked back. I don't care if the three branches listen to themselves. She has done everything she can do.

The captain of the car. Liu Xiaohua chose the last car. She wanted to just leave, but there were guards at the end of the convoy.

The last car in line is the one that pulls the goods. There's a lot of stuff on it. It may have been prepared for the Lord's house on the road. It was an old man who was drinking to ward off the cold. Liu Xiaohua made it clear to him, and he happily let Liu Xiaohua get in the car. However, Liu Xiaohua didn't enter the carport, and sat near the wheel next to him. From time to time, he looked curiously at the people who were following the car.

In addition to the guards, there were some strange people behind the car.

Those people were dressed in rags than the people in the village. One by one, they were tied with thick yellow ropes, lined up in two rows, and followed at the back of the convoy. The guards were pressed at the back of the line.

These people's faces have long been rotten to blur their eyebrows and eyes, and their noses are only holes. It's like a ghost out of nowhere.

Liu Xiaohua asked the coachman curiously, "Uncle, who are these people?" ”

The coachman poured a sip of cold liquor and said drunkly, "What a man?" Human and livestock. Don't you see their faces like that? ”

Liu Xiaohua didn't understand: "What kind of life?" ”

"Neither man nor animal knows. The man of man, the animal of the animal. The immortal family used it for refining medicine. It's similar to those strange beasts and fairy grass that are used to refine medicine. Can't be counted as a person~" The coachman said disapprerovingly.

Liu Xiaohua was shocked beyond words. It was easy to restrain it, and only made a very curious look, "Immortal? ”

"The immortals don't know?"

Liu Xiaohua said embarrassedly: "I came out of Gangshan." I'm going to work in the city. Our village is not connected to the world, and we don't know much about the outside world. ”

"Oh. Then it's no wonder. The coachman said, "I think about it, I used to send our son to a place, and the people there were also isolated from the world. Not to mention that I don't know much about the outside world, and I don't even know about other places in this world except my own village. When the son went, they thought it was a bodhisattva, and they all knelt down and kowtowed, and they really laughed to death. ”

Liu Xiaohua laughed and said: "The style of the son's body is that people who have seen the world should be in awe of it." And who are they? ”

The coachman was happy: "You have a vision." There will definitely be something promising in the future. ”

Liu Xiaohua took advantage of his happiness and asked, "Uncle, is the immortal family a real immortal?" ”

"You really haven't seen it. Of course not. It's just an honorific title, in this world, it took thousands of years to get an immortal, and becoming an immortal is gone forever, where do you still need these mundane things? The people of the world just call those who have cultivated high as immortals. ”

Liu Xiaohua asked again: "Then these animals were bought?" ”

"I bought it in the official market. Most of them are the former prince's domestic slaves and retinues. The prince's rebellion case has not been settled for many years, and even the current prince is about to ascend the throne, so the official family is impatient to raise them anymore, so they sell them all. Our son was lucky enough to receive so much at once. The coachman said proudly. It's as if I've benefited from it.

"I see." Liu Xiaohua asked with a stupid face, "Uncle, you said that the official family and the immortal family are also talking about the immortal family, which is bigger, this immortal family or the official family?" ”

"Huh." The coachman smiled, "Don't look at the immortal style, but in the final analysis, this world is the world of the Holy Emperor." What about the immortal family? As long as you don't really become an immortal, you have to obey it. You say, these clans have family immortals, and the clans that several clans offer together also have immortal sects, but don't the royal family have them? The strange beasts and strange things in the world are all attributed to the royal family, and all kinds of pills are inexhaustible and inexhaustible, what does this immortal cultivation rely on? Isn't that all there is to it? It's not clear who wins and who loses. Can the immortal family still not listen to discipline? ”

Liu Xiaohua knew that he had said that, but after all, it was just an ordinary driver's opinion, and he couldn't believe it.

But there should be seven out of ten truths in these words. So in my heart, I have some understanding of the general situation of this world. Then he silently said no more. Keep an eye on the movement in front of the convoy.

But the coachman drank too much, so much so that he talked a lot, "Are you going to the city?" Do you want to learn from the tribe? ”

"It's not. I passed the exam, but my family didn't have any money. My father passed away again, and in order to support my mother, I went out of the mountains to find work. ”

"You don't care in your clan? If you can be admitted to the family study, that is a talent. The coachman's eyes widened.

Liu Xiaohua smiled.

The coachman immediately looked clear, and this kind of thing must not be uncommon. Persuade: "Alas, don't be discouraged. What are you afraid of when you are young, even if you can't go to school, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can be like our son. ”

didn't need Liu Xiaohua to respond to his words, so he said: "Speaking of which, our son-in-law was also born poor. There are no qualifications. I'm afraid it's not as good as you. The coachman lowered his voice, "You know our son, right?" ”

Liu Xiaohua shook her head obediently, "I don't know." Thinking that he had praised the good parents just now, he hurriedly said: "It's just that when I asked for help, I saw it." "Round this lie back.

"Ji Liugongzi is my son-in-law!" The coachman glared at her, "You sit in my son-in-law's car, how can you not know my son-in-law's name." Let me tell you, there is no one in the world who does not know my son-in-law. Even the people in the sect respect my son-in-law as if he were a guest. ”

As he spoke, the god mysteriously raised his eyebrows and asked Liu Xiaohua to go over, "But my son-in-law was not born in a wealthy family back then, but just a mongrel born of a house slave." "After speaking, he looked proud, "Isn't it shocking!" ”

Liu Xiaohua echoed and asked with a look of surprise: "Is this so?" He looked left and right quietly, and was relieved to see that there were no others. Being caught gossiping about other people's owners in front of people is not fun.

The coachman was drunk and bold, and was not afraid of anything, and continued with a big grin: "Not really. Who knew that the world-famous Ji Liugongzi would be born like this?!! ”

Liu Xiaohua slandered. Don't you know? Even a coachman knows, and I'm afraid there is no one in the world who doesn't know.

The coachman sighed for a long time and sighed that his master was not worth it, "Not only is the appearance one and the same, but even the wisdom is unmatched, only the talent is missing, and the Tao cannot be cultivated." But what is it? If it weren't for my son-in-law, would the prince be able to stand so firmly? What if the former crown prince is gone, will the throne be able to get him? There are so many royal brothers like fish eggs, why should he stand up for a little prince?! ”

As he was talking, he heard a great commotion in front of him. Someone shouted "Protect Childe!" "The car is trapped! The car is trapped! "There's someone in the snow!"

The driver was so frightened that he fell out of the car
