Accustomed to the valley wind, with the rain and the cloud.

The son is home, and he is sent far away.

More than 200 miles northwest of Nanling Mansion of Qi State, there is a Longshou Mountain, there is an inexplicable valley in the mountain, the valley is surrounded by mountains, only the only narrow valley road winds through the passage, the bottom of the valley suddenly opens up, there is like water going around the valley, there is a different flavor.

In the second year of Daqi Gufeng, there were suddenly more than 100 people, who broke into this hidden valley in a hurry, and then settled here, felled wood to make houses, cultivated flat land, and a small village was born according to a pool of water in less than a month, named Ruoshui Village.

Ruoshui Village hides the valley, and the villagers deliberately close themselves to the outside world, so Ruoshui Village is like a paradise isolated from the world. What is surprising is that most of the men in the villagers here are polite and well-read, and the women are also full of soft bones, like a lady. In addition to plowing the fields and weaving cloth, planting melons under the mulberry, dancing knives and swords, reciting books, playing the qin and blowing the sheng......

Ten years later, the Great Qi Xiuwen was three years old

The morning sun is rising, Ruoshui Village still has a trace of cold air of the morning light, hazy shrouded in a layer of light veil, shadows and shadows, in the misty clouds and smoke flickering far and near, if it is about to leave. It's like a few light strokes, smeared in the empty world.

A girl in a blue cloth shirt, about eight or nine years old, with a dark goose egg face, a slender figure, long hair draped over the vest, gently held by a silver ribbon, and the girl seemed to have a light cage of smoke beside her, like a happy elf walking in the world. Although he is carrying a bamboo basket on his back and is dressed as a mountain person, he has an aura from the inside out, which is by no means comparable to an ordinary mountain village. This girl is the age when the buds are first blooming, her body is tall and flexible, and she is like a flexible green bamboo swaying in the wind. The girl was followed by a little urchin, who looked one or two years younger than the girl, and did not have the tiger-headed and tiger-brained appearance of a child in the mountains.

The girl is clever and cute, but her name is called Ah Ugly, because when Ah Niang was born, she was black and thin, and in order to make a good living, she called the rough name "Ah Ugly". My father said that he would not take an official name until the year of Ah Chou and Lu. The boy who followed her was her brother next door, named Sima Zixiao. Ah Chou is just nine years old this year, and he has always been lively and active, and he can climb the tree dozens of feet high, but the little boy has become her little follower. As a result, the old saying is true, those who are good at water drown, and those who are good at riding fall. A month ago, Ah Chou and his younger brother actually went far into the back mountain of the valley, but unexpectedly tripped over the bluestone and fell into the trap set by the villagers, not only breaking his head, but also breaking a leg. Fortunately, Zixiao found the villagers in time, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

Ugly clever and lovely, his parents regarded it as the pearl of the palm, and his parents were scared enough, he was beaten by his father and mother, and he recuperated at home for more than a month, which was no longer hindered, but his parents were still grounded and not allowed to go out.

Today's parents happened to go to the ground, and they broke their legs by falling, and Ah Chou has been depressed at home, and he has long been depressed, so he called his younger brother to the opposite door, and he is ready to go to the back mountain to visit. There are occasional bamboo fence courtyards in the valley, sisters and brothers pass by a small courtyard at this time, a girl who is two years older than a chou is embroidering flowers, seeing a clown two people coming, smiling and greeting: "Little ugly girl, this is going up the mountain?" ”

"Well, take Zixiao up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables or something, is Sister Qinqin preparing a dowry?"

"What's the matter, people are embroidering and playing." Qin Qin blushed, and hid the embroidery in her hand behind her in a panic, causing a burst of happy laughter.

A lady passing by not far away followed the prestige and said, "Little ugly, is your leg already healed, haha, don't be naughty in the future!" Ugly touched his head embarrassedly. This fall made the ugly face of the self-proclaimed "child king" in the village quite dull, and he was stunned, but Zixiao next to him kicked out naughtily, and a small pebble flew out in response and hit a big white goose.

The big goose was holding its head high, walking with a gentleman's step, and majestically "teasing" a kind of mother goose. Suddenly, he was attacked by this, and he couldn't help but be furious, his neck stretched out, his wings opened, and he screamed murderously.

"Zixiao, you are naughty again!" Ah Chou said and took Zixiao's hand and ran, and the big white goose chased after their buttocks relentlessly, Qin Qin couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene.

"Ouch! My leg still hurts a little. Ugly couldn't help but snort softly after running over. Zixiao looked embarrassed and muttered: "Ugly sister, that goose general is the most fierce, I shouldn't tease it." Or...... Or you come up, and I'll carry you on my back. ”

Ugly said: "Don't, you little arms and legs, how can you carry it." "I've been practicing martial arts with my father since I was a child, and last time I carried dozens of catties of my family's big black pig to climb the mountains and mountains, sister, you are not as heavy as my family's big black pig......" Listening to Zixiao, he compared himself to a big black pig, and a black line for a while. But at this time, Zixiao couldn't help but say, untied the ugly bamboo basket, squatted down and put her on her back, picked up the bamboo basket again, and ran up the mountain like a gust of wind, and you could hear the big white goose "quack" chasing fiercely from a distance.

Zixiao's back is flat, soft, and has some sweat stains, but the smell is very good, Ah Chou earned twice, and he was a little inexplicably drunk, and a faint red cloud couldn't help but float on his cheeks, and the little girl in her cardamom years already knew something.

Climbing to the top of the valley, under the morning light, the surrounding mountains are like washing, vividly, verdant, it looks like it is much closer to the eyes, and it is much steeper, and the hazy outer veil is much lighter.

"Zixiao, let's stop running around for a while, so as not to worry my father. Later, I will pick some wild vegetables and go back, so that you can taste my sister's craftsmanship! "A clown eats a trench and grows wise, and he is sensible a lot.

"That'...... That should be stewed. ”

"Okay, listen to Zixiao, stew mushrooms."

"There's also a fat chicken in it."

Ah Chou couldn't help laughing: "Cheng, put another big fat chicken, you little gluttonous cat." At this moment, Ah Chou glanced out of the valley and couldn't help but be shocked: "Why are so many officers and soldiers here?" "Looking out from the weeds and vines more than a man high, there is an army gathering outside the valley, this is the army of Daqi, the soldiers are carrying war bows diagonally, holding halberds in their hands, and riding war horses under their hips.

There were more than 500 people, standing solemnly, Xiao Xiao was silent.

On the two strong horses at the front of the procession, there were two people, one Wen and one Wu, respectively, and the warriors were wearing red robes, and the robes were painted with moire gold scales. The literati, dressed in a green robe, were turning their horses back, and what they commanded the sergeants, as soon as the words fell, the sergeant pulled out the sword from the sheath with a "whoosh", and the cold morning light reflected on the blade, shimmering and cold.

Ah Chou was a little curious, Abel in the village had told her some stories of the conquest of the Qi Kingdom, and the dress of these sergeants was slightly different from what Abel told, and such a murderous marching momentum, like a tiger coming out of the mountain, did not have a little "aristocratic temperament" and "chivalry" as Abel said.

"Not good!" Ah Chou reacted instantly, feeling a strong danger. Zixiao is not stupid, but at this time he is calmer than Ah Chou, he turned to Ah Chou and said: "These officers and soldiers are afraid that they are coming for our village, Sister, you are incapacitated, just hide here, I will go back to the village to report the news!" As he spoke, he ran away from the other side of the valley in a puff of smoke.

Ah Chou hid under the grass, looked at the officers and soldiers from the gap with an anxious face, and then turned his head to look at Ruoshui Village, where the morning light shrouded the serene in the distance...... I don't know what's going to happen today. Iron hooves break stones, and horses' hooves break through the air. Ah Chou slowly poked his head out, and from her point of view, he happened to see the appearance of the literati official, with a narrow horse face, concave eyes and an eagle nose, not angry and arrogant. And the military general in front of him could only see his scarlet cloak that was raised by the mountain wind from time to time, as if it had been stained with blood.

The aunt who laughed at the ugly girl waved a green handkerchief wrapped around her head, and shouted as she ran: "Son, father! Dogs! Leftovers! The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming! ”

"Kill! Kill them all! Don't let anyone go! A chilling voice sounded coldly in the hollow valley, and the five hundred soldiers surged into several torrents, rushing to every corner of Ruoshui Village. Ah Chou saw the little friend dog in the village, running desperately between the mountain paths, jumping and flashing like a galloping deer in the mountains, but the military general in front of the leader galloped on his horse, like a hunter chasing after the Ouroboros, and caught up behind the dog in a moment, and A's heart couldn't help but mention his throat.

"Peng!"

The knife rises, the cold light flashes, and the blood shines.

"Ah, it's murderous, Daddy......" Sister Qin Qin was also frightened, but her voice stopped abruptly, and a blood mist splashed everywhere the knife passed, and a soldier brandished a bloody knife and swept past her. Immediately afterwards, countless combat boots stepped on the girl's soft body and entered the small mountain village.

"Sister Qinqin!"

Ah Chou was in a hurry, thinking about his father and mother, and Zixiao, suddenly his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers were hurrying forward from the mountain road, and the sound of footsteps and rubble also covered out the trickling and whimpering of the water walking around the village.

The green-robed civil official sat on the hillside, looking indifferently at the village in the valley, with a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, and pointed forward with his horsewhip, repeating his order: "Kill!" Kill them all! Don't let anyone go! ”

The next day, Nanling County posted a list of articles, announcing that there was a natural disaster and fire in Longshou Mountain, and in order to ensure safety, warn the people of Siye and Eight Towns not to break into the mountains in case of accidents. Ruoshui Village disappeared mysteriously like its bizarre appearance......
