Restaurants, apricot blossom signboards, people come and go, a noise.

Xia Jinyi's chopsticks were going to pick up vegetables, and when she saw something in a blink of an eye, her brows furrowed slightly, and she was about to get up, but she was held down by the woman in front of her with chopsticks.

The woman in the fancy dress said, "Eat your food, don't see it." ”

Xia Jinyi silently pulled out the chopsticks and said, "That kind of small night dares to be in front of me-"

The woman in the Chinese costume put a big chopstick meat into the bowl for her: "Eat!" ”

Xia Jinyi frowned.

The woman in Chinese clothes said: "We have to rush back after eating, the conflict between the master of Yaomen and my father is about to start, the Xia family itself is in chaos like that, do you still have the leisure to take care of a few thieves?" ”

Xia Jinyi didn't say anything anymore, and the group finished eating in silence, and when they were about to leave, in the crowd, a person suddenly grabbed him and hit Xia Jinyi.

Xia Jinyi stood still, didn't even turn her head, her eyes were still looking ahead, as if it was a waste to look at it more.

The man staggered away.

Several people left in front of the noisy hotel and walked side by side, through the crowd.

And the person who hit Xia Jinyi, after walking a few steps, suddenly fell into the hotel, blood flowed from his legs, spurting out a large amount of bright red blood, which kept flowing...... Blood flowed until the ground was full of bright red.

The crowd exploded at once, and many people gathered around, some went to the government to report the crime, some ran away screaming, and some looked around in fear for the murderer.

The group had already gone far.

In the distance, the woman in gorgeous clothes looked back at Xia Jinyi and frowned: "I said don't care about these little things......

Xia Jinyi looked ahead, his eyes calm: "He stole from me, I have to teach him a lesson, let him know that the Xia family is not so active." ”

The woman in the Chinese costume listened to the hustle and bustle behind her, and probably understood that the person was going to die, so she had to sigh and look at the thing in Xia Jinyi's hand: "What is this?" ”

Xia Jinyi glanced down at a package in his hand: "It's probably something stolen by the thief...... Didn't you steal any treasures, and gave your life for such a small amount of money......"

At this time, she paused, couldn't stand, and looked at the package in her hand.

The woman in the costume turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

Xia Jinyi carried the package in one hand and a red thread from it in the other, and pulled out a small jade brand. The jade quality is very ordinary, not much more valuable than the bronze medal, and it is considered the worst quality jade, but the carving is quite beautiful.

There are a few small characters engraved on it, which are "Tangyuanyuan".

This jade brand, it seems that I have seen it somewhere......

Xia Jinyi carried the brand, stared at it, motionless, and watched the jade brand dangling on the gold-inlaid cuffs.

It's familiar.

Suddenly, a scene appeared in front of her eyes, it was at the noisy dock, under the big willow tree, where people were noisy and people came and went, a girl in a water green shirt timidly walked over with a water bag in her arms.

"Would you like some water? You seem to be having a hard time. ”

A small sign was dangling around his waist.

Aqua green shirt, gray wrapping, combed ball head, open a pair of big eyes, a little silly, but ......

The corners of Xia Jinyi's mouth hooked up a smile.

It's pretty cute.

2.

In the distance, the woman in the gorgeous costume said strangely: "What do you remember?" Laughing? Jinyi, don't scare me......"

Xia Jinyi took the jade pendant into his arms, carried it to a place very close to his heart, put his hands on his shoulders, and walked forward with his slender legs: "What about the 'grace of dripping water'." ”

The woman in the costume frowned: "What do you want to do again?" We have a tight schedule and can't afford to waste time at the pier! ”

Xia Jinyi asked casually: "In a place like Yangzhou, especially in such a mess at the wharf, what will happen if a single woman has no money?" ”

The woman in the costume was very vigilant: "What are you going to do?" ”

Xia Jinyi chuckled and threw his luggage to the servant beside him: "You go first, I'll follow soon." ”

The woman in the costume said angrily: "Nonsense! Time is pressing, the road is already delayed, and you still think-"

Before the words fell, the person had already gone far.

At this time, the servant stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, it's getting late, why don't you rest in the city for the night and go back tomorrow?" In this way, you can wait for Miss Three...... Don't be angry, Miss Three's temperament, that's—"

The woman in the fancy dress turned around angrily: "Miss? What is she called Miss like that! In the future, you will simply call the third master, and the third master will have it! ”

At this time, on the other side of the crowd, a voice came from afar, with a rare smile: "Then the third master will leave first-"

The woman in the gorgeous costume stomped her feet angrily, then looked around at a few servants around her, and scolded: "What are you shrinking your neck, don't follow quickly!" She laughed twice and scared you like this? Don't say it's the Xia family's subordinates when you go out, I'm ashamed! ”

The servant shrank and looked at the place where Xia Jinyi disappeared: "But the third lady seems to be ...... today." I've laughed a few times......"

The woman in the fancy dress raised her sleeves, pointed in that direction, and trembled with anger: "Then don't take advantage of her good mood to catch up!" ”

Several servants immediately took a step back at the same time, shaking their heads like rattles.

Woman in Chinese costume: "......"

These are a few cowards.

Well, let's rest for the night.

Xia Jinyi found an ordinary inn and walked in, looked around at the people around him, walked forward with his feet, and patted it on the table: "No money, live on credit for one night." ”

The shopkeeper sneered and didn't raise his head: "If you don't have money, do you go to the mountain nunnery to spend the night, what are you doing here?" ”

After hearing this, Xia Jinyi went out again, looking for an inn again, and repeated the trick, still patting on the table, repeating what he had just said, and said: "No money, stay on credit for one night." ”

The shopkeeper was a dry and thin middle-aged man, with Western glasses on his face, and a gold wire chain hanging on his ear, he helped his eyes at this moment, looked up at Xia Jinyi, saw that it was a beautiful girl, looked at it again, and said, "I don't have money to live in any store?" Go to the mountain nunnery for the night! ”

Nunnery.

Xia Jinyi got the news, walked out of the inn, and glanced at the mountain bag.

It's not that simple.

This girl lost her money, her brain is simple, and now she is there.

3.

Tang Yuanyuan didn't encounter any obstacles all the way up the mountain, on the contrary, he also met a few passers-by, these people are different, Tang Yuanyuan went to Yangzhou Xia's house, they didn't even hide, and even talked to Tang Yuanyuan about the secret affairs of Yangzhou Xia's family.

It turns out that the Xia family is a martial arts family, after the unification of the Central Plains, the ancestors have always been at odds with the government, the official family collects taxes and investigates the case, and has to go around the Xia family, no, after the recent assassination of Yangzhou Assassin, the new official came here to investigate the case, and found out in the rivers and lakes after a check, but the dignified Assassin Shi arrived at the door of Xia's house, basked in the sun for three and a half hours, and was driven out.

The Xia family dropped a sentence: What's wrong with the assassination history, it's not rare to kill.

Since Lord Assassin Shi lost this face, he found that many officials in the court had made "offerings" to the Xia family, and this family, as a tyrant in the martial arts, seemed to have lived in troubled times for a long time, and actually regarded himself as a little emperor. It is rumored that Yangzhou's taxes must be supplied to the Xia family first, and if there is still the rest, then it will be paid to the emperor, although these things are difficult to distinguish between true and false, but the more they spread, the more fierce they become, the contradictions between the two sides intensify, and finally they want to fight-

Either the government sent troops to exterminate the Xia family, or the Xia family sent assassins to slaughter the assassin history-

In short, the chaos made the people of Yangzhou uneasy, and the ordinary people on the street avoided it one after another when they heard the words Xia Jia, so as to avoid arousing the suspicion of the government.

Tang Yuanyuan listened to the story all the way up the mountain, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he waved goodbye to those people.

The location of the Xia family has already been asked, if it is late today, rest for the night first, and then go out of the city tomorrow!

Tang Yuanyuan stood on the stone steps at the top of the mountain, looking back at the road paved with sunset. Beneath the hill is the town, the green tiles of the town are covered by the setting sun, and one or two golden lights glitter on the roof, which is very beautiful.

Tang Yuanyuan put the small burden on his shoulders and walked into the nunnery.

The nunnery was very quiet, and Tang Yuanyuan shouted in the courtyard covered with fallen leaves, and a Meini came out from behind the wall, dressed in a gray cloth robe, with beautiful eyebrows, and a little vermilion on her lips, which looked very bewitching on her white face.

Tang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and smiled stupidly: "Sister nun, you are so good-looking." ”

The nun held a string of prayer beads in her hand, smiled and walked around Tang Yuanyuan, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful little girl, but because she has no money to stay in the inn, she came to stay?" ”

Tang Yuanyuan nodded obediently.

The nun stretched out a hand as white as a green onion, smiled at Tang Yuanyuan, and said, "Little girl, please come here." ”

Saying that, he led her into a room in the backyard, opened the door, and said to Tang Yuanyuan: "Go in first, I'll pour you a glass of water, and rest for yourself for a while." ”

Tang Yuanyuan nodded meekly, put his hands together and bowed: "Thank you, Mrs. Shi......"

The nun went out the door smiling.

Tang Yuanyuan threw his backpack on the bed, finally relaxed, and when he was about to go to bed, he suddenly remembered that he should ask the master here, if he lost something in Yangzhou City and wanted to report to the official, where should he go. and Yangzhou Xia's house is far away, whether you want to take a carriage.

She thought, reaching for the door.

Tang Yuanyuan was distracted, thinking that the door could be opened with a push, but unexpectedly his hand hit the door hard.

She shook in confusion.

The door was locked and could not be shaken open.

A chill rose from the bottom of the heart of the rice ball, and in an instant, the Danzhu rouge on the lips of the female nun suddenly poured into her brain.

Tang Yuanyuan slammed the door hard and shouted, "Is there anyone!" ”

At the same time, a round of sunset set from the horizon, and the entire city of Yangzhou fell into the darkness of the night.

The lights of thousands of homes are lit for a while.

A beautiful figure stood in front of the nunnery.

The nun came out and saw a girl with a beautiful face and a sassy posture.

I saw that her hair was simply tied up with green silk, her long eyebrows were like sideburns with a three-point momentum, and she was wearing a black tights with gold trim to show her slender waist and mature figure, and she was walking with long legs in the night.

Behind her is the ten-mile green steps, and behind her is the bright autumn moon in Yangzhou City.

I saw the woman stepping on the moon, her expression was cold, and her voice carried a kind of magnetism under the moonlight, and she came faintly: "Have you ever seen a little stupid little girl?" ”
