When Qiao Yue opened her eyes in a drowsy state, she found herself lying on a bed that exuded a musty smell, the dilapidated thatched hut was surrounded by gaps, and the sunlight shone through the cracked wooden boards in the room like long crystal pillars, and the thick dust was extremely obvious in this crystal pillar.

The house was rudimentary, except for a black porcelain jar filled with water, with only a simple table and chairs and two lame stools.

I don't know how long I slept this night, and the chapped throat made Qiao Yue slowly move her body to the edge of the water tank, took the melon scoop, scooped up the raw water, and drank it fiercely.

The door creaked open, and an old man wearing gray linen clothes with a bent back appeared in front of Qiao Yue, looking at his face full of ravines and dark face, and there was a strong smell of fish, he looked like a fisherman.

The old man was about sixty years old, and when he saw Qiao Yue drinking water by the water tank, he hurriedly walked over, grabbed a broken teapot on the table with a pair of cracked palms, poured it full of water, and handed it to Qiao Yue with a smile.

The simple and sincere eyes made Qiao Yue subconsciously take the missing tea bowl in her hand, and a pair of unfamiliar eyes blinked: "Old man, where is this, did you save me?" ”

The old man smiled and said: "You are a girl, lying in the dark on a boat on the South Lake and falling asleep, the night of the South Lake is very cold, and the young and strong men can't stand it, you have to freeze a little girl, and my wife will carry you back." ”

Qiao Yue touched the black stone on her chest meaningfully, and found that the black stone was still there, and the tension in her heart eased only to find that her clothes had been changed, and she was wearing burlap clothes full of patches at the moment.

may have discovered Qiao Yue's strange appearance, the simple old man hurriedly said: "The clothes that were changed were taken by my wife to wash, the girl doesn't need to panic, the weather is very good, it won't be long before she can change it back, looking at the girl's fine skin and tender meat, she should be a young lady from a big family, and you have to have someone to watch when you go out in the future. ”

Seeing the old man's simple expression, Qiao Yue gave up asking who changed the clothes, this society values the skin-to-skin of women more than ordinary people than large families, and there is no need for Qiao Yue to ask, such a simple old man must not be able to do anything out of the ordinary.

"Old man, when you took me away, did you see that the mountain directly north of Nanhu was still smoking?"

Qiao Yue thought about it and asked, she really couldn't rest assured about this matter, no matter what, it was also related to a lot of human lives.

The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, it's still burning, I heard that the person who went to Nanhu today and came back said that the mountain is still emitting a lot of smoke, and I don't know what happened." ”

Qiao Yue nodded slightly, That's fine, such a fire should be able to burn Guan Cangzi to death, listening to the old man's words, he was probably in a coma for a day, this place should still be within the scope of Ningzhou, so it's good, when he changes back into his clothes, he can go back.

"Silver, silver, grandpa, look, is this silver..."

At this time, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl ran in innocently with a few big silver cakes in her hands, which seemed to be something found in Qiao Yue's clothes.

When he saw Qiao Yue, he stood timidly by the door and didn't move.

The little girl wore two braids, her tender little face was covered with mud, and her coarse linen clothes were obviously not at all ill-fitting.

The old man pinched her face dotingly: "Girl! This is a guest's thing, don't mess around. ”

The little girl glanced at Qiao Yue secretly, walked over with a shy look, handed over a few silver cakes in her hand, and said timidly: "Big sister, your..."

Qiao Yue smiled slightly, and did not accept the silver handed over by the little girl, but hugged her in her arms, and said seriously: "Girls should love to be clean, how can they see people with their faces all day long, you see, how beautiful it is!" ”

Qiao Yue picked up the corner of her clothes and wiped it on her face, and then untied the little girl's somewhat messy hair and combed it again.

Not to mention, the little girl who has been taken care of a little bit does have a beautiful embryo, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, thin lips and light condensation, slender neck, white and slender arms, and two clear and bright eyes.

Seeing Qiao Yue and the little girl playing together, the old man smiled kindly and turned around and went out.

"What's your name and how old are you?"

Qiao Yue asked softly, the movements of her hands were gentle and soothing.

The little girl flashed her clear eyes and looked back at her: "My name is Liu Xing, twelve years old, big sister, what's your name!" Grandma said that you are a young lady from a big family, is it true? ”

Qiao Yue chuckled, and gently scraped Xiao Liu Xing's small and straight nose: "I'm a girl from a fisherman's family, not a big lady..."

"Really?" Koyanagi Xing was excited, "My family is also fishing, is my big sister fishing like my family?" Huh..."

"Of course it's true, the big sister is very good at fishing..."

Speaking of fishing, Qiao Yue's face raised an unusually confident countenance, and she said seriously.

Xiao Yanagi Xing's lips pursed, and her face was full of disbelief: "Is it better than my grandparents?" My grandfather is amazing, and no one in the village is better than my grandfather..."

Qiao Yue snorted and didn't refute, it seems that Xiao Liu Xing's grandparents are very doting on her, and children have a natural admiration for the people they rely on, Qiao Yue can't bear to say that her fishing skills are better than those of the old man, but there are great doubts in her heart, Xiao Liu Xing never mentioned half a word about her parents from beginning to end.

Just as Qiao Yue was about to ask her parents about it, the sound of several women talking outside came from outside.

"Did you hear that? In Ningzhou City, Lu Menglou, the poisonous woman of the Ye family who escaped, is back. ”

"Yes! Don't say it, this Lu Menglou really has some means, and he has become a big backer like the prince, but this time the eldest lady of the Qiao family has suffered a lot. ”

A woman with an obvious voice louder than everyone else continued: "I didn't expect the prince to be okay, that Lu Menglou has already grown old like this, and the prince can still do it." ”

"What do you know, all men in the world are the same, if you dare to strip naked and get up, maybe you will get the favor of the prince, she has something, you urge widows. There are many women. ”

"Haha..."

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, a woman who was obviously much older, and her voice came with a bit of melancholy: "You guys! I was still in the mood to laugh, this time if the eldest lady of the Qiao family was really punished, look at how we live, this day is only a few days good, and we will live back again. ”

The atmosphere changed sharply, and it was much lower, and someone answered: "Yes! If the eldest lady of the Qiao family goes to prison, Lu Menglou will be in charge of the Ye family again, and no one will come to sell fish cheaply to us fishermen in the future, and when you are not good at fishing, you will have to live that kind of life of eating bran vegetables! ”R1152
