Yao'er dodged left and right, taking advantage of the chaos of the fire, and finally no one was discovered. came to the gate of the backyard, at this time a team of people ran over in a panic, and Yao'er quickly hid behind a rockery. This is a crisp and childish voice suddenly in the ear: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

As soon as Yao'er looked up, she saw a pair of delicate small shoes next to the rockery, white cloth socks, and a children's skirt with beads on the bird-patterned brocade.

Because the man was squatting under the rockery, he could vaguely see a pair of trousers with striped and narrow legs in the skirt, and when he looked up closely, he saw a green cardigan with small silk sleeves, a handsome little face lined with a collar, and a double bun with leather on his head, which turned out to be a little girl with pink makeup.

The little girl was about six or seven years old, and her lacquered eyes were looking at Yao'er curiously. Because the girl's location was rocky and blocked the view from the front direction, it was not easy for passers-by to see her.

Yao'er didn't answer, snorted, turned her head and asked, "That little girl, who are you?" ”

The little girl said quietly: "This is my home, who do you say I am?" ”

"Oh! It turned out to be the daughter of Tian Ying? Yao'er said secretly in her heart.

Yao'er glanced at her a few times, looked at her little face like duck egg white, with delicate eyebrows and eyes like paint, this is a very beautiful and cute little girl, and then thinking of Yang Mingsheng's concave eyes and eagle nose, hideous and ugly appearance, I can't help but secretly think: I'm afraid that the gossip of those aunts and aunts is not groundless, and this little girl's appearance is really different from her father.

Yao'er continued to ask, "Then what are you hiding here for?" ”

The little girl said, "It's on fire, I'm afraid!" Everyone ignores me again, I want to go to Daddy, but I'm afraid that Daddy will ignore me......"

Yao'er comforted: "Maybe...... Maybe your dad is busy putting out the fire and will come to see you in a moment. ”

The little girl shook her head silently, at a young age, she actually looked sad: "Daddy is not good to me, he has not been good since he was a child." Even Ah Niang went to see him, but Ah Dad didn't let her in, in fact, ...... I've rarely seen Daddy since I was a kid......"

The little girl looked left and right, pursed her lips, suddenly lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "I heard that I am not Daddy's biological daughter......"

This little girl's words were so fierce, Yao'er was stunned there, and she didn't know how to answer her correctly for a while. The little girl looked at her, sighed softly, held her chin boringly, and her pink cheeks were held up by her little hands, looking naïve: "Everyone is like this, talking about you vigorously behind your back, when you really want to ask them, you just giggle one by one, and refuse to say anything...... I really hate it......"

Yao'er looked at this girl who didn't seem to be very mature, and seemed too mature compared to her age, and asked softly: "Your father treats you badly, and others say that you are not his biological daughter, so someone hurts him, do you worry about him, will you hate the person who hurt him?" ”

"Of course it will!"

The little girl's eyes flickered, and she replied seriously: "Whether Daddy is my biological father or not, I was always raised by him, I don't worry about him, who is he worried about?" The bad guy hurt Daddy, of course I have to hate that big bad guy! ”

Yao'er was silent for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, even if there is no grace of fertility, there is still the grace of nurturing." Be a man, well, pay it back! Revenge, also revenge! ”

"Hmm!" The little girl nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly at her, "You are very right! My name is Tian Shuanghe, what about you? ”

Yao'er smiled and replied softly, "My surname is Jiang ...... Ginger...... You call me...... Ugly! ”

Yao'er panicked, ran all the way and sadly found that she was lost.

She was wounded in the shoulder, and one hand was tightly covered over the shoulder, and she was wearing only a small coat, and her hair was scattered, and she was extremely wolf.

As she dodged into the room, a sharp arrow pierced through the crack in the door and struck her in the shoulder. I was in a tense and exciting state all night, and it was only then that I felt a faint pain in the wound.

At this time, the morning light is getting brighter, the sky is clearer, and it should not be long before there will be a trace of pedestrians. Yao'er must find a place to hide, otherwise she will appear dressed up and directly tell everyone that she is a thief who walks at night.

Running all the way, Yao'er walked for a long time in the direction of few houses and buildings, and it turned out to be even more sad that she came to a strange and desolate place - this had actually reached the edge of Lin'an, Yao'er didn't know this at this time, otherwise she would be very proud of her foot strength, and crossed most of Lin'an City in one night.

The place was desolate, and there was only one temple of the same desolation, standing alone.

It is not easy to find such a desolate place in the bustling city of Lin'an. It may not be accurate to say that it is desolate, but to be precise, the temple is unusually clean, and there is not even a trace of dust visible on the beams and pillars of the cornices.

This temple was built very solemnly and majesticly, and the first time Yao'er saw it, he couldn't help but associate it with the strict royal palace. It's just that the temple in front of him is much smaller than the royal palace, and it looks a little less mysterious than the royal power of the Mandate of Heaven, and a little more desolate and secular atmosphere in the world.

The main entrance is painted dark black and looks very solemn, and on the door is a flat horizontal plaque with three big characters on it: "Ceres Temple".

The Ceres Temple, a place dedicated to the gods of the harvest. Yao'er stopped, looked at the three yellow characters representing the sacred on the top of her head, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

The past skips in my mind one by one, that is, in the dilapidated Ceres Temple in Nanling County, Yao'er spent her most tragic childhood, fortunately, with the company of the little beggar...... The Ah Mei who depends on himself for his life.

Yao'er will never forget the terrifying scene in the temple of the valley!

Yao'er will always remember the words that Ah Mei said word by word: "Whoever wants to bully you, I will beat him to death!" ”

This sentence covered up Ugly's fear and warmed Yao'er to this day.

"But now in the vast sea of people, I'm here, where are you? Brother Ah Mei ......" Yao'er couldn't help muttering to herself.

Looking at this sacred Ceres Temple, Yao'er couldn't help but have a slightly dizzy feeling, maybe there was some kind of mysterious connection between himself and the Ceres Temple, maybe there was a very wonderful fate waiting for him in this Ceres Temple.

"Coo...... "Coo-coo" stomach rang out at an inopportune time, maybe it was a feeling of dizziness caused by hunger after a night of running.

Yao'er threw away her distractions, stepped forward, and gently pushed open the heavy wooden door that seemed to have not been opened for many years......

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the Cereal, a shout broke the silence and desolation.

"Quick! Seal off the whole place, and not a single fly is allowed in! ”

"Idlers are not allowed to enter, whoever dares to trespass, it doesn't matter if they are killed!"

……

The sudden noise made Yao'er feel excited, could it be that the officers and soldiers who arrested themselves came so quickly?

Yao'er didn't know that today is the spring equinox, the day when the grain is sown in the ground, and those princes and princes who are above the nine heavens will pretend to go to the Gushen Temple to worship and pray for good weather and a good harvest of grain.

I saw that in front of the Ceres Temple, he was surrounded by a group of heavily armed people, and the leader was a middle-aged man, with deep-set eyes and a nose like an eagle's hook, looking full of gloom.

At this time, this middle-aged man was drinking away from a group of Confucian scholars, and this kind of sacrifice was of course indispensable to these Confucian people who obeyed the Zhou rites.

Who knew that the middle-aged man in the lead looked extremely strict, and he was also very unkind to these scholars, so he pushed it over and shouted in a low voice: "Retreat immediately, there will be nobles in the temple to pray for blessings, and idle people must not be disturbed!" This is a very official statement.

These scholars are all hard bones, which can scare away you with a sentence or two, this sacrificial thing has a very important position in the hearts of readers, and they immediately want to break through.

There was a soft "pop".

The surface of the stone steps was hit by a flying shadow, and a puff of dust was actually raised, and a young man who rushed to the front was directly slapped by the middle-aged man and flew out.

"Who are you? We just want to go into the temple to pray for blessings, why are you stopping us? The Confucian scholars shouted.

The middle-aged man looked at them coldly with an expressionless face, and said, "Why bother who I am?" All I know is that if you dare to take a step forward, you will be killed!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his subordinates on the side all pulled out their knives with a cold and murderous aura......

When Yao'er heard this noise, she knew that she was not here to arrest her, so she was relieved. But when there will be a nobleman in the middle-aged population to sacrifice, Yao'er coughed twice, and there was a little more abnormal flush on her beautiful face, since she couldn't get out now, she simply hid in the side hall of the Ceres Temple.

Qi country by the sea, and the plains are the majority, grain cultivation is prosperous, if the ordinary people pray for blessings, they will not be like the Yan people to worship the son Niangniang, let alone like the Qin people to worship those gods and immortals who look like the rich man, they all go to the grain temple to worship.

Over time, this god of grains is not only a god in charge of the grain harvest, but also a part-time manager of marriage, making money, being an official, and so on. This god of grains is the god believed in by the Qi country, so the country of Qi built the largest temple of ceres, of course, this temple of grain has also become the place where the princes of Qi worship the gods of the sky, and I don't know if Yao'er is too lucky or too unlucky, and actually happened to hide in this temple of ceres.

Although in ordinary times, this Ceres Temple is still open to the people of Lin'an, but ordinary people like this kind of pressure and strictness, so they are often at the door.

Yao'er heard a commotion in the main hall, and then a burst of solemnity, it should be the noble man who came to worship......

After a long time, a voice came from the main hall: "Where is Chief Pei?" ”

"Chief Pei went to the side hall to pray for blessings...... "The middle-aged man is the leader of the guards, named Ukis, a native of the north, at this time he replied carefully.

Then the main hall fell silent.

Pei Kun lowered his head and walked in the direction of the side hall, but the corner of his eyes fell on the magnificent Fengtian Temple on the top of the main hall, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart......

Now he is dressed and eaten, but Pei Kun misses the feeling of the beginning, and he is still the person he was at the beginning.

"Sister, that mouthful of porridge is really sweet!" Pei Kun muttered to himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin a sweet smile.

Yao'er, who was hiding in the side hall, still covered her lips with her right hand and coughed twice from time to time, she had carefully checked the arrow wound before, and it was fine. It was a battle of wits and strength, and the mental energy was too heavy, and under the great sorrow and joy, it hurt some vitality.

Coughing, looking, the little blood marks on the white handkerchief, Yao'er thought of Bao Xi, remembered the south wind, remembered Shi Man'er, these beauties who are famous for coughing, and Yu Qizi who often pretends to cough - cough cough...... Yu Qi still forgot it, not as poignant as the previous three coughs.

The side hall of this Cereals temple is a slightly smaller side of the world, surrounded by a cyan stone wall, and there is nothing else in it except the altar and the statue of the god.

In the middle of the side hall is an incense case, which is extremely wide, with pale yellow satin hanging down on it, until the ground covers the bluestone slab below.

Above the incense table was a fine earthenware incense burner, in which were inserted three incense sticks that had not burned out, and the incense pillars had been extinguished for an unknown amount of time, but the room seemed to be filled with the calming fragrance that seemed to be absent.

At this time, Pei Kun walked into the side hall.

He wandered around the temple casually, his eyes swept over the painted paintings on the walls, the style of these murals was very similar to oil paintings, but the gods in the picture standing on the top of the mountain, floating and sinking on the sea, or sitting on the volcano, did not have a real face, slightly blurred and distorted, as if the painter had deliberately arranged it this way.

Pei Kun didn't stay on the mural for long, he found a futon from the side of the hall and threw it in front of the incense case, knelt down with his palms together, closed his eyes to the quiet statue, his lips moved slightly and kept praying, his demeanor and movements were extremely religious.

I didn't expect such a handsome pot with such a cold and arrogant pride to believe in God and worship Buddha, so serious and solemn.

Pei Kun is a staunch theist, he believes that his encounter with Ugly, the turning point of his life, is all destined by God.

Having said that, anyone who encounters his kind of bizarre encounter will probably have the same psychology as him.

Therefore, he bowed down very reverently, praying for the ethereal Heaven, and the almighty Ceres, who could fulfill his humble wishes......

At this moment, the tips of Pei Kun's ears trembled slightly, as if he heard something. He opened his eyes in disbelief and saw that the small porcelain stove on the incense table was shaking slightly.

Pei Kun was extremely shocked, could it be that his pious prayer really made the heavens aware of it? Ceres?!

His eyes stayed on the wide incense case, Pei Kun finally found the problem, a fine light flashed in his eyes, his left hand pressed the hidden knife, and slowly but firmly stretched out his right hand to open the hanging man.

What fell into Pei Kun's eyes after Manbula opened was a picture that surprised him, a picture that he couldn't even dream of, and a picture that made him cry and laugh.

A girl dressed in wolf bèi was half-squatting in a corner under the incense case, looking at Pei Kun in surprise.

The girl's eyes are large, and the eye waves are very soft, like a quiet lake that quietly wants to make people sleep forever. And her facial features are even more delicate and beautiful, with pale pink skin and long eyelashes that look like a person in a painting has come out.

With a slightly timid look and a natural sense of shame at this time, Pei Kun's heart moved.

His heart was moved.

The girl looked at this pious young man curiously, and found that the other party's face was so beautiful, not like a mortal, and even her eyelashes were so long, she couldn't help but stare at it a few more times.

After reading it, she found that this handsome pot pot, she had actually seen it, and it was one of the male gods who competed with the intoxicating bow field.

This girl is Jiang Yao'er who is hiding in the side hall.

In the side hall in the corner of the Ceres Temple, Pei Kun's hand was still pulling the piece of yarn, his eyes were still on the girl's face, and the girl looked at him without showing weakness, just like that, looking at each other I don't know how long it took and how long it was still silent.

Pei Kun's gaze gently brushed over the girl's face, and the girl suddenly remembered something, and suddenly couldn't help but slowly lower her head, and even the roots of her ears were red.

Pei Kun's gaze fell on the girl's lips, and then the other party's lips were abnormally bright. He looked at it again curiously, and then he realized the reason—the one he would remember for the rest of his life—that the girl had a greasy chicken leg in her hand, and the oil on her lips was evidently stained from gnawing on the drumstick.

Such a beautiful and refined woman actually hid under the incense case of the Ceres Temple and ate chicken legs! This strong contrast made Pei Kun open his mouth wide and speechless for a long time.

After a long time, quiet, awkward, silent, and delicate, there was finally a voice inside and outside the incense case.

"You...... You...... Who is it. The beautiful man and woman spoke at the same time, and even the slightly trembling voices were very similar.

The first time Yao'er heard the voice of this cold man, she only felt soft and cool, and that feeling was very comfortable, but as soon as she relaxed, the signs of coughing and vomiting blood suddenly appeared.

"Ahh Pei Kun was startled when he saw the girl vomiting blood, and his eyes naturally showed a very strong look of pity, as if all the suffering she had suffered was painful in his heart.

Yao'er couldn't stand the care of others the most, seeing that he was worried about himself, his heart was warm, and he smiled and comforted: "It's okay, if you vomit, you will vomit and become a habit." ”

Hearing this very fresh witticism, a smile flashed in Pei Kun's worried eyes.

……

The nobles who came to the Cereals Temple to worship stayed for a while and set off. In the last carriage of the team, Pei Kun was half-leaning on his seat at this time, and the corners of his lips seemed to be smiling, as if he was still recalling something.

Qingmei on the side saw that Pei Kun was rarely so happy, and her mood was also relaxed, and she asked playfully: "Brother Kun, what good things happened today?" ”

Pei Kun smiled slightly and said: "Every time I can go out of the palace to breathe, it is a happy thing. ”

Qingmei pouted and said, "But I've never seen you smile so brightly." ”

At this moment, the carriage was violently bumped, and Pei Kun suddenly coughed continuously, and there was already a little blood on the handkerchief after a few coughs.

Pei Kun was also born in the plum blossom internal guard, and he has also carried out countless assassination missions of nine deaths, which are all old injuries of adulthood, and there are old problems in the inside.

Qingmei panicked when she saw it, and said with a crying voice: "I vomited again!" That's not how good. ”

Pei Kun smiled faintly, remembered what the girl had said, and laughed softly: "What is this?" Spit and spit naturally. ”

Qingmei let out an "ah", very shocked, didn't understand what it meant, thinking that her brother was sick and confused.

(The style of this chapter, Xiaoxiao himself is very fond of it, I hope that all the gentlemen will be happy, and then vigorously support it, I am not very grateful.) ）
