All night, Zhou Xianyu was drunk and dreaming of death, guarding the tombstone at the foot of the empty Meishan Mountain and did not leave.

Later, he didn't know what time it was, but finally fell asleep against the tombstone in a drunken attack.

It is also thanks to Zhou Xianyu's perennial marching and fighting, and sleeping in the open has long been commonplace.

Otherwise, the cold wind will blow down this night, and others will definitely not be able to bear the illness and fall ill.

And the next day, at dawn, the sun had risen, but Zhou Xian's wine was strong, but he was still asleep in front of Xiao Jinxuan's tomb.

It wasn't until several men heard a rough curse that Zhou Xianyu was woken up, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his eyes opened.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that not far from the mound of clothes, there was a thin woman, surrounded by four or five men with fierce faces.

And among these men, one of them has a scar on his face, which is obviously the big man of the ringleader, who will point to the woman who is surrounded and can't get out, and shouts with a curse:

"Little slut, you are trying to give Uncle and I, your mother sold you to me, but Uncle spent a whole five taels of silver to buy you, in order not to send you to a brothel, and then turn it up for a good price. But you dared to sneak away while we were asleep. I think you owe a tight skin, believe it or not, I'll whip you to death now. ”

This big man with a scar on his face had a very loud voice, so Zhou Xianyu was separated from them by a distance of more than a hundred meters, but he could still hear the other party's words clearly.

But Zhou Xianyu is dissolute and uninhibited by nature, he is both good and evil, those heroes save the beauty, and the road is uneven, he has always only managed according to his preferences.

After all, when Zhou Xianyu was learning martial arts from his master Qingxu Zhenren, he traveled to the rivers and lakes to see all the things that were hot and cold, bullying the good and fearing the evil.

So he has long known that the world is too big, and there are even more people with poor backgrounds for unjust things.

Even if he can manage one or two of them, it won't change anything at all.

And he is not a reincarnated living bodhisattva, he can be saved for a while, but he can't be saved for a lifetime.

Besides, everything in the world, there is ugliness to be beautiful, and there is evil to set off to be the embodiment of goodness.

Therefore, under his Taoist teaching, Zhou Xianyu did not have too much cynicism in the definition of good and evil, or deliberately wanted to eradicate evil.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu, who would be woken up, picked up a wine jar from his side again, raised his head and drank it, without any intention of interfering.

However, because he has good martial arts and a keen sense of the six senses, even if he has no intention of listening, the words on Scarface's side are still clearly transmitted into his ears.

And Zhou Xianyu could only hear that the woman who was surrounded by Scarface after shouting also spoke.

"My father just died of illness, and my stepmother sold me to you before my bones were cold, but I am a woman from an innocent family, and even if I die, I will never enter the Qinglou, and I will be reduced to dust from then on. After all, what my father is saying, he is also a teacher who was admitted to Xiucai. I, the daughter, will never smear his face, so if you want to take me away, then take my body. ”

The scene that happened in front of Zhou Xianyu's eyes was, to put it bluntly, a thing that often happened among the people to sell women for money and force good people to become prostitutes.

Especially in the mountain villages and countryside, there are too many children in the family to support, so they can only buy their daughters in exchange for money to raise their sons at home.

This kind of thing is too common, and almost most of the women in the Qinglou are caused by this.

But this kind of ordinary thing, Zhou Xianyu really didn't plan to care.

After all, those big men also spent money, although forcing good people to become prostitutes sounds very vicious, but they are not robbing people's daughters, nor are they abducting and trafficking people, and their behavior is shameful but they do not violate the law.

But the moment the woman spoke, there was a cold tone of indifference, stubborn speech, and stubbornness that would rather die than bow her head.

Zhou Xianyu felt that this woman was too similar to Xiao Jinxuan.

The wine bottle in his hand slipped to the ground, and Zhou Xianyu's eyes looked at the young woman standing a hundred meters away.

The same ordinary, the same gentle face, although this woman's appearance is different from Xiao Jinxuan.

But the other party would pull out the hairpin, and the strand that wanted to pierce his neck was decisive, but Zhou Xianyu's heart twitched fiercely.

suddenly thought of Xiao Jinxuan again, and the carefree hairpin he gave to the other party.

At this time, he didn't want to meddle with things, so as not to disturb Xiao Jinxuan's well-dressed and quiet Zhou Xianyu, but before the woman was about to pierce her throat, she **** out a copper coin.

The copper coin hit the woman's right hand on the hairpin, so the opponent's hand was weak for a while, and the hairpin fell to the ground in response.

And Zhou Xianyu, who has come over step by step, has a keen sense of his six senses, even if he hasn't come closer, he has already seen that the woman is full of despair because she can't commit suicide to keep her innocence, but she is stubborn and refuses to beg for mercy and cry.

More and more in this woman, Zhou Xianyu saw a trace of Xiao Jinxuan's shadow.

When he came closer, there wasn't much nonsense, but he took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Scarface:

"I want this woman, even if you send her to the Qinglou, you may not be able to sell the money. Take the money and get out of here, disturb the peace of my deceased wife, and you will all stay, and no one will think about leaving. ”

As soon as he got fifty taels of silver, the greed in Scarface's eyes was fully revealed, after all, just as Zhou Xianyu said, buying an innocent woman to the Qinglou can indeed earn a lot of silver. But this woman has an ordinary appearance, and if she enters the Qinglou with her hand, she can sell it for thirty taels of silver at most.

However, seeing that Zhou Xianyu was generous, this scarface relied on the fact that there were many people on his side, so he wanted to ask for more silver, and he would never let go so easily.

But just when Scarface thought it was beautiful in his heart, and when he looked up at Zhou Xianyu, he just cared about scolding, and then he found the other party's snowy hair and cold and evil face.

The spirit shivered in his heart, Zhou Xianyu's breathtaking demonic image, as well as the cold aura around him, frightened Scarface and even his greedy nature.

Scarface faintly regarded Zhou Xianyu, who appeared under Meishan, as a demon transformed into a white fox in his heart, so he dared to stay anywhere, bowed to him a few times in fear, turned around and fled with people.

Although the scarred face was clasped together with his hands folded, and the voice of the words in his mouth was very small when he bowed sincerely, Zhou Xianyu's ear power was excellent, and he could still hear it clearly.

With a helpless wry smile, Zhou Xianyu grabbed a strand of his snow hair and muttered:

"White Fox Great Immortal? It's a shame that Scarface can figure it out, but I do look like a demon like a ghost, I hope that when I meet Xuan'er below, she won't be disgusted and won't recognize me. ”

Even if Xiao Jinxuan was in Zhou Xianyu's cognition, she felt that the other party was dead.

But in his life, he still talks about each other, and he has never lost a penny because of the other party's departure.

But Zhou Xianyu's self-deprecating words were finished, and the woman who was saved by him on the side did not have a cold voice, but said with a hint of excitement:

"Engong turned out to be you, I have been looking for you all these years in Xiaojiameizhuang, I just want to thank you for saving my life in the first place. I didn't expect you to appear again when I was in danger again. It's just that Engong, what's wrong with your hair, why hasn't it turned white as snow for a few years? ”

As soon as he heard this woman's words, Zhou Xianyu was surprised and looked over attracted by the other party's words.

But after he took a closer look at this woman's appearance, Zhou Xianyu thought that his memory was not bad, but he didn't have the slightest impression of this person at all.

As if seeing Zhou Xianyu's doubts, the woman suddenly smiled, and then even a trace of blush flashed on her face, and then her eyes showed gratitude and said:

"Engong, have you forgotten, a few years ago, you were by the side of the big tree on the side of the road in the mountain behind Meizhuang, and you once split the wooden cage with a sword and rescued the little girl from the ice and snow. At that time, you also gave me a cloak, but later the cloak was pawned by my stepmother for money, so I am afraid it will be difficult to return it to Engong. ”

When the woman said this, her expression was not only extremely natural, but also knew everything about the past.

But although this woman and Xiao Jinxuan are very similar in speech and demeanor, they are not the same person after all.

And the person who was locked in a wooden cage and was harassed by his mother-in-law was clearly Xiao Jinxuan.

And why this woman knew what happened back then, and why she appeared here, is intriguing for a while.

But Zhou Xianyu, who was not emotional about things back then, naturally couldn't see the flaws.

On the contrary, the things of the year were being mentioned, and Zhou Xianyu's heart couldn't help but be touched.

After all, the laughter that resounded like silver bells in the mountains at that time had a deep impact on him.

At that time, Zhou Xianyu was attracted by the pure and unadulterated laughter, so he met Xiao Jinxuan for the first time, and later he hid in the carriage, and the other party was willing to repay the favor and save him, thus forming an indissoluble bond with each other.

But Xiao Jinxuan never told Zhou Xianyu about being locked in a wooden cage, after all, that difficult experience had passed, and she looked too sloppy at that time, and there was really nothing to mention in the face of her beloved.

Xiao Jinxuan has always liked to share her joy and happiness with Zhou Xianyu, hardships and hardships, but her personality is biased towards being alone in her heart.

Therefore, this led to a few years later, and Zhou Xianyu did not know about the wooden cage back then.

It is also because of this that this woman with an obvious origin and a strange existence is given the opportunity to take over her identity and hide from the world.

It was because he didn't know the truth, so Zhou Xianyu looked at the woman in front of him, and actually told everything about the cloak he gave to the other party back then, and naturally he didn't suspect anything immediately.

Therefore, seeing his face, he couldn't help but show a smile, since Zhou Xianyu thought that Xiao Jinxuan was dead, his cold attitude towards everyone would ease a lot.

"I didn't expect it to be you, so I did save you twice. What's your name, I forgot to ask when I was in a hurry. Now that we're old friends, you should tell me this time. ”

As soon as she heard Zhou Xianyu's words, the woman couldn't help but blush even more, and after leaning over to salute, she lightly opened her lips and said:

"The little girl's surname is Lin Qingsui, she is from a nearby mountain village, and her father is a famous Xiucai, and she is a teacher in these ten miles and eight townships. Now my father is dead, and my stepmother can't tolerate me. The little girl is cheeky and hopes that Engong will take her in and give me a way to live. is for the maid and the concubine, as long as I don't fall into the dust and give me a place to live, then Qingsui will be satisfied. ”
