The next day, I woke up and it was past noon.

Staring at the window for a moment, Yu Xi rolled her eyes and touched her head, and she didn't know when her face had been medicated and bandaged. At this time, a middle-aged man walked up from downstairs

Uncle, he pushed the door in, put the food on the table, and said that he was Su Feixuan's friend. Yu Xi thanked him, and when he left, he only felt that his eyelids were swollen and his vision was blurred. Walking in front of the bronze mirror, I was startled. I saw that in the bronze mirror, a child, his whole head was as big as a fence, and he was extremely ugly wrapped in layers of white cloth. In the white cloth, which was one place higher and one place lower, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and he was looking at himself in a daze. Yuxi only felt a headache for a while, her body began to heat up, and she was slightly cold, and her lips were extremely dry.

Yu Xi walked to the table and poured tea, only to feel that her arms could not move freely. Yuxi is still a child after all, and she is frightened by this situation. I am walking around the house

For a while, I only heard the voice of drunk Qingchen going upstairs to speak, "Sister Su, your martial arts are so high, why didn't you fight him directly yesterday?" ”

"The person who comes up and uses force to solve the matter, that is a reckless man. To really solve the problem, use resourcefulness. Yesterday that bastard laughed at me, didn't I know he was following me, didn't I know that I did it on purpose. If I fight him by force, I may not be able to defeat him. It's a pity that yesterday's bucket ruined my family's heirloom, which is a pity. ”

"The most powerful thing in Sister Su's house is that what kind of escape? If it's ruined, it's ruined, and I'll play with Sister Su in the future. Sister Su, don't be angry. ”

"What's that, the scroll is dead, but it's just an artifact. The really powerful thing is the design drawings of my family's mechanism, and there are many things that have evolved from the drawings, and that is the real treasure. I took the blueprint with me, but it was stolen by a thief. Forget about stealing it, I have other plans now. ”

Yu Xi heard them walk to the door, got up and opened the door. Drunk Qingchen looked at her and couldn't help laughing.

Yu Xi felt a little more pain at that time and sat on the chair.

Drunk Qingchen didn't dare to laugh anymore, but still said happily, "Sister, I have good news for you, Sister Zhuqi has returned to Fangfeiyuan safely." Moreover, Sister Su also promised to escort us home. ”

Of course, Yu Xi was happy in her heart, and the temporary physical discomfort dissipated, and she raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Sister Su, my family lives in Lianzhe Villa, can you also send me home?" ”

Su Feixuan smiled, nodded, and handed the dart to her again, "You put it away, the mechanical library is already yours." Take it, and I'll take you home. ”

Yu Xi hesitated for a moment but put it away.

Su Feixuan smiled, "There's only one switch inside, and it's this dart." The switch outside is on the tree, and this is the only one that unlocks, remember. ”

Yu Xi nodded again.

Su Feixuan ate a few fruits, lay on the bed, and said infinitely lazily, "Rest for five days before setting off." ”

In the past five days, because her head and face were broken, Yuxi rarely went out, and stayed in the room almost all day, and her buttocks hurt. Su Feixuan and Drunken Qingchen didn't have it at all

Idle, the two went out and left many markers to prevent his parents from looking for him. There was no news in the five days, and the three agreed to send Su Feixuan home first according to the original plan, and then send Yuxi back to Lianzhe Villa.

The three of them got up early, and after breakfast, they drove a carriage out of the city. Out of the city gate, I saw a post station in the distance, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. winter

In the day, there are only residual lotus left in this pond, and there are vaguely a few residual leaves in the cold water, Yuxi can't help but be stunned and sigh, "The beauty of heaven and earth." ”

Su Feixuan stopped the carriage and said, "Eat something here and bring some dry food before leaving, this is the only post station in and out of the capital, and there are more delicious foods here." ”

Drunk Qingchen liked the food the most, and jumped off before the car stopped.

Su Feixuan picked a random inn and sat by the window. The shopkeeper served tea, served snacks, and ordered a few according to the dishes that drunk Qingchen loved to eat, and that's it

Retreated. While waiting for the dishes, Yu Xi glanced at the eyes, only to see the trickster, playing with lions as three years ago, and couldn't help but feel sour and tears welling up.

was sad, only to hear a guest next to him pointing to Cangshan behind him and saying, "I heard that Cai Shangshu jumped from here in the first place, is it true?" ”

Another guest looked around, lowered his voice and said, "This can't be nonsense, if Cai Shangshu is not deceased, but the future Guozhang, it is always not good to talk about the deceased person privately." ”

Another guest took a sip of the wine cup and said, "Only Cai Shangshu is so affectionate, if it is placed on my head, it may not be willing to be willing to be utilitarian in this world." My three mothers-in-law quarrel with me all day long, which is really annoying. ”

Another guest laughed when he heard this, "Could it be that Brother Song is going to marry a little lady again?" ”

Yu Xi wanted to listen to it again, and the people at the table suddenly changed the topic. At this time, the dish was served, and Yuxi took the chopsticks and ate slowly, choking her eyes with a dried bean

Tears flowed.

Su Feixuan said gently, "When eating, be careful and don't get distracted." ”

Yu Xi hummed, lowered her eyes, and silently shouted a few words in her heart, "Daddy." ”

The three of them set off again, walking much slower, because they couldn't figure out where their family lived because they were drunk, and they ran for an hour or two to the east and west

, and didn't find the familiar alley he was talking about. This winter, it was getting dark quickly, and I ran in two places. Drunk Qingchen himself was about to cry, and said with a bitter face, "I'm sorry, Sister Su, I thought my home was outside the city." Just now I remembered, my home seems to be in the city. ”

Su Feixuan furrowed his eyebrows and sat in front of the carriage. After sparing a circle, he returned to the Lotus Station.

Su Feixuan drove the carriage for four or five hours, very tired, leaned back with a whip in his arms and said, "I'll squint for a while, and you two will call me later." ”

The two nodded in the carriage.

Seeing that Su Feixuan was already asleep, Zui Qingchen stuck out his tongue and said, "Sister, why don't we go buy some hot food for Sister Su, and when he wakes up, he can eat it." ”

Yu Xi also felt that it made sense, and the two got out of the carriage one after the other. I saw that the food shops under the inn were set up along the road, selling all kinds of food. The owners of this stall sell their own goods

Screaming, Yu Xi swallowed her saliva, took the bun and had no money to give it to others, and was about to put down the bun before looking for money. Drunk Qingchen shouted that he wanted to sleep, and Yuxi persuaded him that he could sleep in the car. Drunk Qingchen said that he would sleep if he slept it, but Yuxi couldn't pull him, so he had to sit on the steps and let him lean on for a while. I thought to myself, shouting Sister Su for a while, and then when he woke up, he would go back to sleep with a drunken light dust.

Just after sitting down for a while, a middle-aged woman suddenly walked over, with an anxious face, "Oh, little ancestor!" Why did you get here, go back with me! ”

Before Yu Xi could react, she saw that the middle-aged woman was smiling, her birth was extremely beautiful, and she stretched out her hand to pull the drunk light dust.

Drunk Qingchen was already very sleepy, and as soon as she pulled it, she fell into the woman's arms.

Yu Xi looked at her soft eyebrows, and her heart was stunned. Yes, drunk Qingchen has parents, how long can he accompany him? It turned out that this was his mother

, such a beautiful mother.

Turning around blankly, his neck was cold. Yu Xi smiled, the saliva that was drunk and light dust just now flowed, and the saliva was wet to her neck.

The woman didn't thank her, she hugged the child and left, Yuxi suddenly lost her mind, "Isn't the mother who is drunk and dusty sick all the year round?" How did you go so fast! ”

"Drunk light dust, drunk light dust"

After chasing two steps, Yuxi was about to run towards the carriage, "Sister Su, Sister Su", only to shout twice, suddenly felt top-heavy and fainted.

There are two towering trees in the dilapidated yard, with no leaves and intertwined roots. There were a few small birds on the branches, chirping a few times, seeing that there was no food, they spared two circles and flew

Let's go.

Yu Xi was sleeping deeply, and felt that there was a little thing like a cat scratching gently, "Itchy!" Slowly opened his eyes, and saw that Drunk Qingchen was staring at himself with Shui Lingling's big eyes.

The winter sun is warm, but the eyes are sore and piercing. In the dim and dim light, Yuxi saw the smiling woman.

Yu Xi wanted to move, and her temples hurt badly. I don't know how long my hands have been tied behind my back, and I am numb and unconscious. Yu Xi sighed, and then saw clearly

The drunken light city was also tied with his backhand. But he didn't know that he was afraid, he was gurgling and rolling his eyes to look at himself, and Yuxi couldn't cry or laugh.

"These two, Sifang Street and Changle Street, are one tael of silver a day. If that's not enough, come back and beat me hard! ”

Yu Xi had never heard such a terrible sound, not like a human being, but like the sound of a mouse talking, because every word he said carried a chirp sound. Raise your eyes

Looking around, I saw a thin man walking out of the smoke and dust illuminated by the light, slender and long, with a ruthless look on his face.

Yu Xi had heard that many of the children named Hanako here were kidnapped children, but she didn't want to escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's mouth.

"You stinky bitch, let us go!"

The drunken city twisted and twisted, but the rope did not loosen a minute.

Yu Xi glared at Drunk Qingchen, he really, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead! I don't know if Sister Su found out that we have lost it?

The woman snorted coldly, and as soon as she flicked the whip, Yuxi immediately snorted coldly in pain. The tall and thin man added two more kicks, and the bones of Yu Xi who kicked them gurgled and dislocated.

In pain, her tears fell suddenly, and she shrugged her arm.

The woman sneered, "I can't move now!" “

The slender man touched his sparse beard, and the arm of the drunken city who kicked him twice was also dislocated, and the drunk Qingchen scolded in pain, "You bastard!" If you dare to hit me, my dad will gouge out your eyes and chop off your dog's hooves! Lifted your pig hands"

Yu Xi glared at Drunk Qingchen again, and said in her heart, "Are you stupid in Fangfei Garden!" ”

"Huh! This kid's mouth is quite poisonous! With a slender flying kick, Yuxi's body flew upwards and hit the wall with a "bang". Bright red blood fell down the corners of Yuxi's mouth, drop by drop.

A drop of bright red, shocking!

Drunk Qingchen shook his ass and crawled over, crying, "Sister, are you going to die?" ”

Yu Xi smiled lightly and closed her eyes in pain.

The woman shook her hand and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't kill you, the old lady is still waiting for them to earn money!" Throw these two children to Sifang Street and go to Changle Street to collect people at night! “

A slender hand grabbed a child and threw it on the cart, and there was a young man with a slope in front of him, pulling the cart and leaving.

Although it was winter, Yuxi's robe was still soaked.

The young man with the foot of the slope wore a hat and pressed the brim of his hat low. Yu Xi saw that there seemed to be burn marks under the hat, which was very terrifying.

At the corner, the young man at the foot of the slope asked in a dumb voice, "You two are new?" “

Yu Xi snorted.

The young man at the foot of the slope snorted coldly, snapped twice, connected the bones for Yuxi and Zui Qingchen, and said coldly, "I must get a tael of silver today." Did you hear what the boss said? I'll send you to Sifang Street later, and you will come out of Changle Street. I'll pick you up later! ”

Yu Xi's heart warmed, and she smiled, "Thank you, brother!" ”

Drunk Qingchen was crying in the dark on the square street, others asked him, if he didn't say that his father was dead, he was his mother, and others felt pity when they saw him born and cute.

By the evening, he had saved up two taels of silver.

The boy at the foot of the slope really came very late, threw the two of them on the cart, and pulled them back as usual.

Yu Xi and Zui Qingchen were thrown into the dim house again, and by the faint candle flame, they found that there were several different young people in this room. There are about ten

Several carts were placed against the wall, and children were constantly being pulled back from the outside. Only a few of these children came back on their own. The children who came back from walking were extremely vicious, and when they saw that the other children were slightly uncomfortable, they punched and kicked them. Although the drunk Qingchen man is small, his mouth is not honest, and he must not be annoying, and Yu Xi has also suffered a lot of beatings for him.

In a flash, it has been in for more than half a month, and every day he is beaten on the head and bleeding, and he is unrecognizable. In this way, the cloth on her head does not need to be removed at all, but for a few days

I didn't wash it, and it smelled bad. In addition, both of them have not taken a bath for half a month, their hair is messy, and their faces are full of dust, which is no longer what they were at the beginning.

When he returned that day, he handed over the money, and there was a newly captured child, who begged someone to take him away on Tojo Street, and was known to the proprietor's wife. When he went back at night, as soon as all the children returned, he pressed the new child to the bench in front of them, and with a single knife he cut off half of his legs.

The child cried heartbreakingly, and Drunk Qingchen couldn't help hugging Yuxi tightly and buried his head. Yu Xi looked at it coldly, thinking that compared to the medicine man, this was more terrifying than that scene

A hundred times more terrifying, what's more?

Yuxi closed her eyes in pain, here you go again! The pain in the chest was like a knife, like a thread, slowly tightening

Yu Xi said bitterly in her heart, am I going to die here today? I finally stayed up until midnight, gritted my teeth and hugged my arms, and only listened to the two children whispering.

One of the children muttered, "In a few days, the Living Yama will come." ”

Another child was scared and said, "Living Yama, is he coming?" “

The first child to speak said, "Yes." ”

Yu Xi said in his heart, "Living Yama", this person heard Wang Fu say, what kind of character is he, which makes this little brother afraid of being like this. Thinking about it, my eyelids were heavy, and I fell asleep.

The next day, unexpectedly, two more children escaped, but they were both captured. The sixty or seventy children gathered together, and they did not dare to speak in front of the lamp.

That night, both children were spared, their hands and feet were cut off, and one child died that night. The other child had to continue to beg for food on the street the next day. Fishing in the heart

Dao, even if it is hell on earth, it is nothing more than that.

There are fewer and fewer children who can walk, the candle flame is flickering, but Yuxi reads it in their eyes, deep hatred. When the child died, Yuxi saw, all

In the eyes of children, there is a thick layer of mist and the curvature of the corners of the mouth gently raised. Of course, it also includes drunk light dust and yourself.

On this day, Yu Xi finally knew the person "Living Yama" from the mouth of the child next to him. He was tall and tall, with white skin and a tattoo of a ghost. There is a quirk, and he hates beautiful children the most. Every time he came, as long as he saw a handsome child, he would torture the child to pieces, and then throw it out to make money. His viciousness,

It's terrifying. The children here don't want to be ugly and ugly.

It was night, Yuxi and one of the children, sitting in front of the lamp, making an appointment, and did not come out.

The lame boy had dragged them to the bazaar these days, and his face was smeared with color, making it even more unrecognizable. From now on, it's time to juggle.

The usual sword swallowing can no longer meet the needs of the audience, the beautiful woman and the slender and long are ingenious, and the performance is mostly related to fierce beasts, which is extremely dangerous, but extremely exciting, said

That's how you can make money. These programs performed with fierce beasts really got more rewards than the previous programs of swallowing swords and stepping on kitchen knives. This performance is mostly in a fixed place, and Yu Xi was looking forward to meeting Sister Su at first, but later he never came. Xindao, it would be good if he could meet his friend. After performing for a few days, the friend never appeared.

Is life too miserable, or is there a bloodthirsty poison in the hearts of the world? That's why they're so happy?

Looking at the smiling expression on the faces of the visitors, Yuxi indifferently coldened her eyes.

After the performance on this day, Yuxi sat on the steps and watched an old man dressed in thin clothes telling fortunes. Yu Xi noticed this person because he was not blind, but he was killed

The calculation is accurate. But there is no one who comes to him to tell his fortune that he is not sure. Where it is, Yu Xi doesn't know.

According to the observation of the past few days, the old man usually looks at the faces of others first, and then asks them to write or throw copper coins. Sometimes, he asks people for eight characters, fingers

pinched, without people asking, he made it clear what people wanted to ask. Yu Xi stood aside, listening attentively, every time he finished listening to a person, he would draw the eight characters he said or the words measured by others on the ground a few times, and he couldn't think of the meaning.

The old gentleman happened to have no business at this time, and when he saw her scratching his fingers, he smiled and said, "Little doll, do you want to tell fortunes?" ”

Yu Xi looked up at him, shook his head and said, "Children don't tell their lives." ”

The old gentleman felt that her answer was very meaningful, and he could not see her face clearly, so he smiled and said, "I will tell me about your birthday, and I will help you cut it off." ”

Yu Xi raised her head again, shook her head and said, "I don't remember." ”

The old gentleman smiled again and said, "No money." ”

Yuxi raised her head and smiled, "Grandpa, you give me the calculation, why don't you teach me to do the calculation." ”
