Zhu Qingheng said in a low voice: "Follow me." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" nodded to Koon. Zhu Qingheng took Xiang Xiaoyuan around and walked between an osmanthus tree and the courtyard wall outside the back door of the silk shop. It's a lot quieter away from the crowds. Zhu Qingheng handed over the burden in his hand and said, "Change this dress." ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan opened the baggage, saw that it was two sets of boys' ready-to-wear, and wondered: "Why? ”

Zhu Qingheng said while untying his coat: "My father and mother have never had a grudge against anyone before, and they are not that kind of character. I thought about it, and I thought that the monk I saw on the lake today was really suspicious. I know him very well, and I have never seen any monks in his house. Suddenly one came today, and then ......," she said, her voice choked up, "and then it happened. I thought that maybe she was going to my house in the first place, but she said that it was Guanhaizhuang so as not to startle the snake. That person has seen us, if I have her internal response in my family, I'm afraid she is looking for us now. ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded, she changed her clothes, and said at a loss: "What should I do now?" I want to go home. After saying this, the circles under his eyes were also red. When Xiang Xiaoyuan was four years old, her grandfather and grandmother died one after another, and although she still knew nothing about death, she understood that if a person died, she would never come back. She thought that Zhu Qingheng's family couldn't come back, how uncomfortable it should be, and she felt sorry for her in her heart, so she took Zhu Qingheng's hand and said, "Sister Qing, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhu Qingheng wiped the tears off her face, she was also very scared, but she said quietly: "You wait for me here, I always have to go home to have a look." Then, I'll come back to you. ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan cried out with a "wow": "I'm afraid... I don't dare stay here. Don't leave me alone. ”

Zhu Qingheng patted her on the shoulder, and said in a calm voice: "Good Xiaoyuan, I'll go now, maybe I'm throwing myself into the net, and I can't let you follow me on the adventure." She grabbed a handful of black ash from the ground, wiped it on Xiang Xiaoyuan's snow-white face, and whispered, "You just stay here, don't worry, no one will care about a little boy." I will be back soon. He took some black ash from the ground, and smeared all his bare skin.

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister Qing, then you can come back quickly." ”

Zhu Qingheng agreed, and turned around and left.

Na Xiang Xiaoyuan hid behind the tree, hungry and afraid, cried for a while, and fell asleep in a drowsy state. I don't know how long it took, she was pushed awake, opened her eyes, and saw Zhu Qingheng's face painted with black ash appearing in front of her. Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled at her in a daze: "Sister Qing, why are you so dark?" ”

Zhu Qingheng was stunned for a moment and wanted to laugh, but the tears fell first, and a teardrop fell on the back of Xiang Xiaoyuan's hand, which was round like a dew drop on a lotus leaf. Xiang Xiaoyuan panicked: "Don't cry. Zhu Qingheng nodded, handed the baked cake wrapped in oil paper in his arms to Xiang Xiaoyuan, and then sat down beside her. I didn't speak for a long time.

Xiang Xiaoyuan said worriedly: "What...... What's going on? “

Zhu Qingheng shook his head: "It's all gone." Tears fell again, bending the grass under his feet.

It turned out that after Zhu Qingheng and Xiang Xiaoyuan separated, they were afraid that the murderer was waiting for them nearby, so they didn't dare to rush over, so they walked around the street, and finally found a group of idle gangsters who were going to Zhu's house to see the lively and idle gangsters. She walked over, tugged at the sleeve of one of the kindest-looking teenagers, and said in a suppressed voice, "Big brother, take me with you." I really wanted to go and see it, but my mother wouldn't take me. ”

The young man laughed, looked at his companion, and when he saw that no one refused, he nodded and said, "If you are not afraid that another person will cast a spell and crash you away, you will follow." You can remember the way, we don't have time to send you back. Zhu Qingheng nodded and smiled gratefully: "I am very familiar with this road, and I won't cause trouble for you." ”

Zhu's house is not far from here, and Zhu Qingheng used to come here to play, but now she is walking on this road again, she is behind the group of teenagers, and her heart fluctuates. After a while, when she arrived at Zhu's house, she looked at the place where Zhu's house should have been, the original magnificent courtyard wall was broken and collapsed on the ground, and the blue roof tiles were broken into a few petals and covered the ground, not to mention the plaque that read "Zhufu" and two orange lanterns that were originally hung high at the door now fell to the ground and became carbon balls. If it weren't for what the old Taoist priest just said, even if someone pointed out to her and told her that this was her home, she would never believe it. Even if the eldest uncle's alchemy furnace exploded, it would ruin his courtyard at most, and he would never return the vast land to a clean place like what he was looking for.

"Mom, Daddy, Liuheng, Grandmother, Auntie,......" Zhu Qingheng read everyone in the yard one by one in her heart, she warned herself over and over again not to show her feet, and now she really can't cry. I only feel empty in my heart, and there is no pain, no bitterness, only confusion and deep hatred.

There was still smoke rising from the collapsed bricks and tiles in the courtyard, and the blue smoke slowly dissipated in the wind, and the people lying on the ground behind them were faintly visible. Zhu Qingheng felt another sorrow in her heart, and wanted to go in and help them up, but before she could walk a few steps, she was grabbed by the collar by the gangster boy who brought her. The young man only thought she was a playful child, and scolded: "Don't blow your head and brains, can you break into that place casually." ”

"No wonder the old Taoist priest was frightened and crazy. The hand is so ruthless. A teenager spat on the ground and cursed.

At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered on the street, and no one dared to go in, so they only gathered in a circle to watch the excitement. A man sighed: "A good person like the Zhu family, who helps the poor and provides disaster relief in the local area, although he is a monk, he has never looked down on ordinary people, and how much merit he has accumulated over the past few decades." Why did he suffer from this disaster, and the whole family of more than a dozen people did not escape. Another said: "Being so revenge-seeking, who knows what the eldest and third of the Zhu family have done in the past and who they have offended." ”

Another person said angrily: "These monks don't treat mortals as human beings too much!" The Zhu family has a total of two elders, three and two who know how to spell, and they are wronged and have debts, so they shouldn't find revenge on others. The scholar next to him persuaded: "'Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. 'Where can the people manage the affairs of the monks?' ”

Zhu Qingheng was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "This world is the way of the jungle, the survival of the fittest. These ordinary people have never wanted to stay away from the monks, and they can only interfere with the river water and the well water, but the well water will never dare to interfere with the river water. Do I still expect justice and revenge from others? As soon as he gritted his teeth, he immediately broke free from the hand of the gangster boy and walked quickly into the courtyard.
