In the distance, the sound of firecrackers can be heard.

The New Year is almost over, no matter what kind of blizzard it is, but the people will not forget this most important festival of the year.

In an ordinary small inn, the man who had just finished eating and lay down and closed his eyes suddenly woke up.

"What time is it?" Mu Shaoqin asked softly.

Zou Yuanliang, the imperial physician who had been waiting beside him, thought for a moment, "Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. ”

Mu Shaoqin smiled suddenly, "Then won't I be a year older tomorrow?" ”

Zou Yuanliang said curiously, "Grandpa Guo is tomorrow's birthday?" ”

Mu Shaoqin nodded and smiled, "Yes, I was born in the twenty-ninth month of Layue." However, the year I was born happened to be not thirty, and twenty-nine was Chinese New Year's Eve, so my family used to always give me two birthdays, one twenty-nine and one Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Zou Yuanliang smiled, "That's not good? I can receive two birthday gifts. ”

Mu Shaoqin smiled a little deeper, "Actually, I also have a brother who grew up together, when I was a child, we would always shake the dice on the night of the twenty-eighth to compare the size, the big one will receive the Chinese New Year's Eve gift, and the small one will receive the twenty-ninth gift." Because the Chinese New Year's Eve is always heavier than the twenty-nine. But at that time, it was always me who won every time. I always thought that my luck was better than my brother's, but I didn't know that Lu Dao was my brother's better skills, and every time I deliberately shook it to make me happy. ”

"Ping Guogong is a blessed person, so he has such a good brother since he was a child. Like me, I don't have such a good brother, but there are a few little brothers who want me to worry about. Zou Yuanliang deliberately diverted the topic, because he knew that there was no one in the Mu family for a long time. Go on. I'm afraid that Mu Shaoqin will be sad.

But he suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you know what Chinese New Year's Eve is right about?" ”

Zou Yuanliang was stunned, "Right? ”

Mu Shaoqin nodded, hoping that he would guess.

Zou Yuanliang deliberately got it right, "Chengdong." ”

Mu Shaoqin smiled, "Be serious." ”

Zou Yuanliang smiled at this time, "It should be the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?" It's all a festival of reunion, and it should be this. ”

Mu Shaoqin nodded, with a hint of happiness in his smile, "My wife was born in the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Zou Yuanliang said. "That's a coincidence."

Mu Shaoqin also smiled. "yes, it's a coincidence that I met her."

His smile widened, and there was a little more tenderness and remembrance in it, and he remembered the early spring when he was seventeen years old. The mountains and forests that we first met......

I saw that he didn't speak for a long time. Zou Yuanliang was afraid that he would think of sad things. So he changed the topic, "For this year's birthday, what gift does Grandpa Guo want?" As long as it's not too expensive. I can send you Lao Zou. ”

The most wanted gift? Mu Shaoqin sighed slightly in his heart, since the separation, he has only one birthday wish every year, which is to reunite with his wife. But he has been making a promise for fifteen years, and it has not yet been realized.

"Sizzle-" Suddenly, there was a throbbing pain in his heart for no reason, which made Mu Shaoqin's face change.

What's going on? Zou Yuanliang hurriedly checked his pulse, is there anything wrong?

But Mu Shaoqin felt a little weird in his heart, and he always felt uncomfortable, as if something ominous was about to happen. Suddenly, he remembered Nian Fulai. When I think of her, I feel even more that I can't stay still.

"No, I want to go back to Beijing!"

Zou Yuanliang was stunned, "Now? But we've just settled down, so we're not in a hurry to do it, right? Rest for one more night, and you will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow. ”

"No!" Mu Shaoqin didn't know what was wrong, he always felt that there was some force pushing him, so he had to rush back, "You let everyone rest, just a few of us go quietly." It's already so close to the capital, and nothing can happen. ”

Seeing his resolute attitude, Zou Yuanliang had no choice but to call the person in charge, and the guards and him left first with Mu Shaoqin, and the rest of the people guarded the grain and grass and waited for dawn before entering Beijing.

Although he didn't stay for one night, Mu Shaoqin still asked his subordinates to give enough money for one night's room. The innkeeper made a lot of money and wanted to do something good.

When he went to the firewood room in the backyard, he called the old, weak, sick and disabled family, "There is a vacant room this time, you can go and live." Rest assured, we will not be charged more of your money. ”

Prison.

It's already dark, but Nianfu still can't sleep. She's watching the cell, trying to see if she can set it on fire!

She didn't want to die.

Although she brought Ouyang Kang such words, she still didn't want to die. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's obstruction, why would she be looking for death if she was a person who lived a good life?

However, the defense of this prison is very tight, even if she can burn open the fence, she can't burn through such a thick iron gate, and there are no windows around to climb out, what should she do?

At this time, Nianfu really wished that she could also turn into a fire, shrink into a small one, and escape from that high small window, but how could she have such a ability?

Suddenly, I saw the sound of the door lock twisting, and someone came.

"You didn't expect it to be me, did you?" Ryan looked at her condescendingly, his eyes full of undisguised coldness and viciousness.

Nianfu saw the unkindness in her eyes, and was secretly a little frightened, "What do you want to do?" ”

"What do I want to do? Don't you know the truth about this question? ”

Reaching out to touch the injured left side of his face, Ryan's voice became fierce and hateful, as if she was the original, not the one who pretended to be weak.

"Do you know the way? The doctor told me that the scar on my face would never be cured. Every time I see them, I think of you and all that you did to me that day! Now that there's no one here, you can always admit that you hurt my face, right? ”

Nian Fu looked at her coldly, "That's your own fault." If you hadn't hurt someone first, you wouldn't have received such retribution! ”

Ryan was obviously very angry, but when he looked at her again, he suddenly smiled again, "Yes, I'm to blame, what about you?" What are you like now? Look at your face, who did this hurt? ”

Nian Fu stroked his injured cheek, and the pain in his heart spread again.

Ryan smiled even more proudly, "You can be a good person, disaster relief and soup kitchen, and you have survived for so many days, but what is the result?" Do you know how people outside are scolding you now? ”

Nianfu didn't want to hear it, but Ryan had to keep talking. "They say you're fake and well-intentioned, but it's the worst. Water-based poplars, seducing men everywhere. You also poisoned children and abducted little beggars, and some people said that you would break their hands and feet and let them beg to make money! ”

Where did all this nonsense come from? Seeing that Nianfu was obviously angry, Ryan smiled more and more happily, "This tastes very uncomfortable, right?" Obviously a good person. but they will be regarded as bad people. Obviously he has done so many good things. But the worst of them can only squat in this dark and damp prison, waiting for death! ”

Nian Fu said angrily, "How do you know that I will definitely die?" Even if the Queen Mother wants to kill someone. You have to give a reason, right? Otherwise. How can she be convinced? ”

Ryan smiled a little sinisterly. "Yes, the Queen Mother has to kill people for a reason, but. If you die in an accident, what else is there to say? ”

Nianfu looked at her again, his eyes vigilant, "You want to kill me?" Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? ”

"Of course I'm afraid, that's why I won't do such a stupid thing. But if you have an accident in this cell, it's hard to say, right? ”

She untied a cloth bag from her waist under the cloak and smiled grimly at Nianfu. There seemed to be some living creature wriggling in the cloth bag, and Nianfu suddenly had a bad premonition, and the cold hairs on his body stood up.

I saw Ryan carefully untie the cloth bag, and a snake head suddenly drilled out of it! With such a triangular shape and mottled pattern, you can see that it is highly poisonous!

Nianfu screamed and jumped away quickly, and all the goosebumps on his body exploded. There are few girls who are not afraid of this kind of thing, and Nianfu is no exception.

Ryan looked at her and smiled even more viciously, the cold eyes of which were exactly the same as the poisonous snake in her hand.

"You should always know what I used to do, right? Yes, I've been a beggar. The best thing in this line of beggars is, in addition to beating dogs, catching snakes. What are you afraid of? Aren't you amazing? Come here, come here! ”

Nian Fu was about to go crazy.

She wanted to calm herself down, and she took the snake for a rat and burned it in a fire, but she couldn't! That thing is horrible!

Ryan forced her around in a small cell like a cat and a mouse, very happy, "Do you know?" When I was suffering in Baoguang Temple every day, I was thinking about how to torture you slowly. You're afraid of a snake like this, but if there's another one! ”

Nianfu is really going crazy.

Because Ryan really grabbed another poisonous snake and threw it directly at her!

"Go away!" Nianfu jumped onto the small bed in the cell at once, but the snake soon felt her breath and gradually approached. Nianfu screamed in despair, "Come on, come on!" ”

Ryan sneered, "You save your energy, the people outside have already been separated by me." ”

"But you can't kill me!" Nianfu said in a trembling voice, "If you tell people that you have been here, I will die, and you will definitely not be able to get out of it!" ”

Ha! Ryan smiled and looked at her white lips with great enjoyment, "What if it's discovered?" Do you know the biggest difference between you and me? ”

Ryan looked at her viciously and said word by word, "That is, I have a good father, and you don't!" So no matter what I do wrong, I can be safe and sound, but you can't! ”

She threw the other poisonous snake in her hand over, and said coolly, "If you can also have a grandfather to be your father, you will know how wonderful this taste is." But looking at your poor and sour appearance, your father must not be noble, at most he is a country clay leg, maybe he is still a ninth-rate! ”

"My dad is not a ninth-rate!" At the critical moment, she was insulted to her loved ones, Nianfu finally overcame that fear, and burst out with raging heat all over her body, and the two poisonous snakes felt the heat on her body, but they hesitated and did not dare to approach.

Ryan was shocked, what was going on? "Bite her, bite her!"

I only heard Nianfu shouting loudly, "My father is also surnamed Mu, and he is also a member of the Mu family!" ”

"You're lying!" Ryan didn't believe it at all, "The people of the Mu family are dead, you want to pretend to be a relative of the emperor, and you don't pee and look in the mirror first, just like you, you dare to pretend to be the Mu family, it's really impatient!" ”

"I didn't pretend, my surname is Mu, and my father is called Mu Shaoqin!"

"You talk nonsense!" Ryan was really anxious, and he fought with her with red eyes and thick neck, "My father is Mu Shaoqin, he is not your father!" ”

The long-kept secret blurted out like this, "If you don't believe it, go and ask your father, does he have a clan brother, just Mu Shaoqin?" ”

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the lonely tomb he had gone to worship, and the name of the person on it was indeed written Mu Shaoqin.

At this time, I saw the big iron door kick open. Someone strode in, and his voice was trembling with excitement, "What did you say?" You repeat, who the hell is your father? ”

(The lid of the top pot said weakly, even Fu Ma released it, cough cough, although it was a little obscure.) Don't be angry anymore, let's go to the hair one by one~~~~~) (to be continued......)
