The young man was silent for a long time before asking, "How sad?" ”

"Born to be abandoned, the reason is that Bazi is compatible with his parents. Luckily, someone picked it up and helped them make the straps. After a few years of stable life, I knew a few words, and the war came again. The adoptive mother had just given birth to a pair of twins, and she didn't want to be humiliated by Song Jun, who had killed a thousand knives, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. Since then, his adoptive father has been an alcoholic gambler and gambled all his family fortunes. There is no tile in the house, and the wind wears through the rain leak. Grandma's legs are lame, and the younger brother is waiting to be fed. My eldest brother and sister and I spend all day asking for food and looking at people's faces. Heh-" Chen Qiuniang slowly narrated, thinking of those sad days, tears unconsciously filled her eyes.

The boy didn't speak, just sat there quietly. Chen Qiuniang sniffed, took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, while continuing: "As soon as my adoptive father came home, he was beaten in various ways. Sometimes the bones are broken, sometimes the nose, mouth, and ears are full of blood. I was pitiful to my neighbors, so I gave me some herbs to eat, otherwise, I would have buried the loess with dry bones a long time ago, and now the grave is full of grass. ”

"This is a troubled time, if it is not a high-ranking family, who is not miserable? What are you doing? The boy's tone was rather irritated.

Chen Qiuniang saw that this young man who had always been calm and gloomy showed an irritable look at this moment, and she was sure that she had played the right card of pathos, and had successfully caused his emotions to fluctuate. It looks like it's going to get harder.

She sniffed again, sighed, and said, "Yes." Who does not mourn. I saw my brother starve to death. I wanted to go up the mountain to find something to eat, but whoever thought about it would bite the poisonous snake. There was no one around, it was hard to breathe, the taste of dying—"

When Chen Qiuniang said this, the pain and fear of that day resurfaced could no longer be said, and even her body couldn't help but tremble.

"And you're still alive?" The boy asked in surprise.

"God has mercy on you. I was later picked up by Murakami Orion, and Murakami Langzhong plucked and bleed and detoxified me, and finally I was unable to return to the sky. Everyone was going to bury me, a thunderstorm, but I woke up and went on with this life. Chen Qiuniang slowly narrated.

"Corpse?" The boy frowned.

"If you don't come back to life, how can you be considered a corpse?" Chen Qiuniang pretended to be angry. In her heart, she thought that this person was unaware of her experience, and it must not be from a nearby mountain town. It seems that this time, the people who invited them to come were really generous.

"Okay. Not counted. The boy's tone softened a little.

"Wake up. The family is still the same, and the father is still gambling. The villagers still regarded me as a monster, and even the relatives and fiancés who had been engaged when the family was rich had come and gone. Everyone avoids me for fear and wants to work to earn some money, and others think I'm unlucky. Now it's hard to get the owner of the Yunlai Inn who doesn't dislike me and lets me do chores there. But I never thought that it was only one day, and the owner would suffer such misfortune. Pity my two younger brothers who are waiting to be fed, and pity my eldest brother and sister, who are only five years old, will have to support that family alone in the future. When Chen Qiuniang said that, she was sobbing profusely.

The Confucian boy didn't know what to say for a while, so he let her cry for a while before he said, "I just kidnapped you, and I didn't say I was going to kill you." What are you crying about. When that kid gives him the money, he will naturally let you go back. ”

"What about letting me go back? After a while, let me go back, and the owner's shop won't be able to open. Can I still eat at my host's house? Even if the owner doesn't care, what about my younger siblings? Where am I going to find someone who will accept me to work? You're right. My life can finally change a little. You're just going to jump out—" Chen Qiuniang counted out loud at this moment.

Although the young man on the opposite side was yin and smart, he had probably never made such a fuss with a woman, nor had he seen a woman's unreasonableness and reasoning, so he was stunned for a while, his expression and tone were flustered, and he said, "Okay, okay, don't cry." Who knew you were in this situation. I think you're smart too, so it's a big deal to follow us. Bring your younger siblings and grandmothers over. ”

"You——, you—" Chen Qiuniang pointed at him angrily.

"What's wrong with me?" The boy's face was full of impatience.

"You're so light-hearted. I don't care about fame or anything. But my grandmother is dozens of years old, and she is the most face-conscious, how can she be willing to do this robbery with me? If I really want to bring her, I will probably force her to die. Besides, my younger brothers and sisters are young, and if I bring them with me, they will blame me when they are older. How can I decide their lives? Chen Qiuniang immediately retorted.

"This ——, then you can follow us and send some money back every month." The boy mentioned yì again.

"What do you mean? Even if you say yes, can your brothers say yes? Living with your head and licking your blood from the knife, can you allow an ominous person to be around? Chen Qiuniang asked rhetorically.

The young man was finally speechless, and only after a while did he scold: "Damn, what kind of life do I talk about with a meat ticket." Then he raised his head and said to Chen Qiuniang, "From now on, you shut up and say one more word, I cut your lip." ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard him say such things, she knew that she would not be in any danger for the time being. Of course, she didn't deliberately make any fear or surprise, she just leaned against the window and closed her eyes to recuperate.

I don't know how long later, the young man asked again: "I heard that you are very powerful, it is said that as long as you are here, no matter how much silver we want, you can help Chen Wenzheng make it up?" Right? ”

Chen Qiuniang was taken aback, secretly wondering who made an international joke. If she can be so powerful, can she still live such a hard life?

"You see me now. Do you think it's possible? Chen Qiuniang asked rhetorically.

The young man was silent, and Chen Qiuniang said again: "If I have such an earth-shattering ability, I still need to live such a hard life?" ”

The young man didn't say anything, only turned over, and curled up opposite Chen Qiuniang to sleep. Chen Qiuniang was bored, so she only lifted a crack in the curtain and looked outside. This look startled her, seeing that the number of torches outside was at least fifty or sixty people, no wonder she heard the rumbling of horses' hooves before, it turned out that this group of robbers was not only those six.

"It's useless to see, you can't escape." The boy didn't turn over, but only said lazily.

"Your battle is not small, it seems that this vote, you have a lot of benefits. Your employers are also big spenders. Chen Qiuniang put down the curtain and gossiped like home.

The young man snorted and said to himself, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk to me." ”

"You spoke to me first." Chen Qiuniang muttered.

The young man didn't answer, but he heard someone outside the car shouting in a low voice: "Three masters, go to Zhuxi." ”

"Hmm. Tell everyone to get ready. The boy rolled over and sat up, and replied to the man outside the car, his voice full of majesty.

When the men outside were commanded, they departed. The carriage also stopped at this time, and waited quietly, and the sound of horses' hooves outside gradually stopped, and occasionally the neighing of horses.

After a long time, I saw the curtain of the carriage open, and the previous beard said: "Three masters, do you want to go up the mountain overnight?" ”

"Luo. Didn't you say that before? As originally planned. The boy said impatiently.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then he withdrew, and there was a commotion outside the carriage, and someone shouted: "The ship is ready, please go up the mountain." ”

The young man answered, and dragged Chen Qiuniang out of the carriage. Only then did Chen Qiuniang see clearly that the carriage stopped at the wild ferry in the mountains, a clear moon illuminated the mountains, and the reeds at the ferry rose and fell in the night wind. The ferry used to be a large lake, the surface of the lake was slightly rippling, the moonlight gently rippled in the lake, and there was a big boat with sails on the ferry, on the right side of the big boat was a neatly arranged canopy boat, and on the left was a neatly arranged bamboo row.

"Three masters." At the ferry stood a middle-aged man, his hair tied up on the top of his head, a gray shirt, and sleeves raised high.

The young man waved his hand and said, "Go to Cangxuan Mountain." ”

The man turned around and walked onto the galleon, shouting "Sail", and the people on board hung up the sails in unison. The young man said to Chen Qiuniang: "Anyone who dies once will want to live well." Get on board. It's not a place for you to escape, either. There are countless poisonous snakes and beasts around here, and there are carnivorous fish in the lake. Again, if you run once, you will cut off one of your feet, and twice you will have two. ”

"What about the third time?" Chen Qiuniang glanced at him.

"Would you like a third time?" The boy asked in a calm tone.

Chen Qiuniang didn't say anything, she stepped on the board and got on the boat, and the young man also got on the boat, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the boat to start. The first boat to drive was the awning boat, and the awning boats on the left started in unison, heading for the center of the lake. The boatmen on those awning boats moved in unison, and the awning boats actually rowed fast. After the canopy boat had rowed some distance, the galleon set off slowly.

The boy only said: "If you are not used to the boat, go to the cabin." ”

"The breeze is coming, the moon is clear. Sometimes the water is still and sometimes the shadow is deep, sometimes the phosphorescent light is shining, how can you miss such a rare beauty? Chen Qiuniang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the wide lake.

"Sharp teeth. Such a beautiful scenery, but also to give you a leisurely walk, night fishing, wine to the moon? The young man folded his fan and asked unhappily.

"If so, great. Presumably, this kind of big ship has a galley. Chen Qiuniang replied with a smile.

The boy snorted coldly and stopped talking.

The boat went for a while, and the wind on the lake was strong, and the boat went faster. In a few moments, he turned a mountain and entered the path between the hills. Only two galleons were allowed to walk side by side, and many branches hung down. Both mountains are steep rock walls with dense woods. This sandwich road is two or three thousand meters to say the least, and if it is a water battle, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and many of them will have to be destroyed.

The galleon turned the aisle, and the lake widened again, but it was wide, but it could not extend far. Because when you look at it this way, there are tall mountains all around, and there are mountains after these mountains, and there is water between the mountains. It's not clear how deep the water is. It is also impossible to see where the surface of the water extends.

This landscape has a bit of the meaning of Guilin landscape, but the mountain is a unique landform in Shu, with many trees and dense forests. There are many mountains in Shu, and many people in Shu are not accustomed to water warfare, and now this group of mountain bandits is encamped between the deep mountains of this lake, and I am afraid that even if the officers and soldiers come, they can't help them. Even if Zhang Fu lends a hand, will he definitely be able to save himself?

Seeing such terrain, Chen Qiuniang suddenly became apprehensive in her heart. RS
