It's another year's golden autumn, and the red maple in Qinghe Country has begun to bloom in the autumn frost, and the clusters of red leaves exude a bewitching red under the early autumn sun.

The market is bustling, with shops on both sides of the street, selling cloth, selling wine, slaughtering sheep and dogs, and acrobats shouting loudly on the green tiles and red bricks of the street.

Ling'er pouted, leading Zhi'er to shuttle back and forth between the clothing stores and antique shops on both sides like two butterflies, and Zhao Ye and Zhao Hai behind him shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Miss Ling'er came to Qinghe from Kyoto more than a month ago to visit the lord and the old lady, and the lord was busy with business, so he asked Zhi'er and himself to accompany Miss Ling'er to visit Qinghe. The two of them had to obey the orders of the lord, but they didn't dare to disturb the interest of Miss Ling'er and stepped forward, so they had to fall far behind.

The two were pondering, when suddenly, a click came from the store, and a sharp voice sounded at the same time: "Oh, you little girl, don't you have long eyes?" ”

Then a dull voice and a weak apology were heard, and the two of them were taken aback, and a few hurried into the store.

I saw Ling'er girl standing beside Zhi'er, facing a woman in front of her with her eyebrows and eyebrows, the woman was wearing a red and green robe, the fat on her face was piled up, and there were seven or eight guards and a maid standing beside her.

The maid put her hands on her waist and scolded meanly: "You little girl, you hit the porcelain that my wife bought after destroying it, just apologize?" Don't kneel down yet? ”

Ling'er was suddenly furious, stepped forward in two steps, pulled Zhi'er down, touched the green silk in her ear to the root of her ear, and sneered: "Madam? A vulgar and filthy person dares to call himself a lady? Dare me wait for my own palm? Hmph, don't pee on yourself! ”

The woman was stunned, but she didn't expect to be hit by a little girl when she went out today, and she even met a person who dared to call out herself, and snorted coldly and said angrily: "Mrs. Ben's maid teaches this little girl who doesn't know etiquette, who are you, dare to meddle with my affairs?" ”

Ling'er was angry, her hands were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on the back of her hands were rising: "Little girl? She is my sister, I don't know how many times more noble than you, you dare to push her? The acquaintance immediately apologized and apologized, otherwise he would blame this girl for being unkind today! ”

When the woman heard this, she turned around, slapped the head of the guard beside her, and scolded: "Are you all-eaters?" The old lady was bullied, what are you still standing here for? Give it to the old lady, tear the vixen's mouth to the old lady, the old lady wants to see how she is not welcome! ”

Several guards were about to step forward, and two burly figures were already in front of them, and one looked at everyone coldly, his eyes were like poisonous snakes: "If I were you and others, I would obediently kneel down and kowtow two heads, even if I let this matter go, otherwise there will be another conflict and those who lack arms and legs, don't blame the sword in Zhao's hand for not having long eyes!" ”

"Even you two little shrimps dare to threaten Lao Tzu?" The head of the guard rubbed the place where he had just been slapped by the woman, sneered, and punched through the air.

Dare to be arrogant with this bit of martial arts?

Zhao Ye glanced at Ling'er and Zhi'er with disdain, and nodded at Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai took a diagonal step and tightened his waist, avoiding the fist of the head of the guard, and lifted his right foot one by one, and put one knee on the man's abdomen. The man suddenly fell backwards like a lightning strike, and slammed into the counter behind him, and the counter fell to the ground with a thud, and the porcelain on it fell to the ground.

"Waste, it's all special for the old lady!" When the woman saw that the head of the guard had fallen to the ground, she hurried hysterically and cursed angrily at the guards.

The rest of the guards stand

Immediately snatched it out, divided into two groups of people, two sticks, a knife, and two short swords to attack Zhao Ye and Zhao Hai respectively.

"Stop!"

Seeing that there was a big battle in the store, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, the voice seemed to carry a magical force, and the two people suddenly stopped, and a graceful figure walked into the middle of the crowd.

Cui Shi Niang? Why did she come to Qinghe too?

Zhao Ye and Zhao Hai were also shocked, looking at the person in front of them blankly, green silk like a waterfall, a dark long skirt, a black silk scarf on their faces, and a pair of dark blue eyes looked at everyone lightly.

"Eun Gong!"

When the woman saw Cui Shi Niang, her face changed suddenly, showing a flattering smile as if her face had changed in Sichuan opera, and she said: "The Chen family doesn't know that Engong is coming, and he is not welcome, so please forgive Engong!" ”

Cui Shi Niang glanced at Chen with disdain, and said coldly: "Chen, are you relying on your husband's power to bully people again?" ”

"Gong En, it was really this little lady who hit the Chen family and smashed the Chen family's heirloom porcelain bottle to the ground, and the Chen family did not bully others." Hearing Cui Shi Niang's words, cold sweat suddenly trickled up on Chen's forehead, and he pointed at his maid, "It's all this little hoof... The little girl has sharp teeth and sharp mouth to resentment this girl! ”

"Really?" Ling'er Huo Ran put aside Zhao Ye and the others, and sneered, "Who scolded this girl for being a fox spirit just now, and you want to tear this girl the most?" ”

Cui Siniang sneered and slapped Chen, and didn't look at the anger and viciousness in Chen's eyes, but his words pierced the layers of dissatisfaction and rebelliousness on Chen's body like a sharp silver needle: "Chen, do you still want to be a fox and a tiger in this Qinghe country, and you don't open your dog's eyes to see who you provoke?"

This girl is the daughter of the general Huang Fu Yizhen, the fiancée of Wang Deyu, the minister of Qinghe, and the one you asked her to kneel down is her sister-in-law, Wang Deyu's sister-in-law! How dare you make her kneel? Are you the queen mother? ”

"Poof!" Twice, Chen and the maid had already knelt in front of Ling'er, slapping themselves with both hands as if they didn't want money, and muttering in their mouths while smoking: "The two girls forgive their sins, it is because Chen's mouth is blind and ignorant of Mount Tai, and they offended the girl!" ”

For a while, the slaps begged for mercy together, and snot and tears flew together.

"Get out!"

If it weren't for the fact that this was my brother's territory, if it weren't for Zhi'er on the side, I would have directly thrown these guys who took advantage of the situation into the Zhanghe River.

Ling'er glanced at Chen and the maid in disgust, and with a loud shout, several people had already rolled out of the door.

Cui Shi Niang had already stepped forward to pick up Zhi'er's hands and looked them up and down, seeing that Zhi'er had no scars, she took out a piece of jade pendant from her arms and gently placed it in Zhi'er's hand and said softly: "Little sister, come here, let my sister see where she has been hurt?"

This is a few people that my sister saved before, they are not sensible, my sister apologizes to you for them, and please don't see those people in general! ”

Zhi'er is now in the prime of his life, and his body has reached Cui Shi Niang's shoulders, he was born exquisitely clear, with a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear like stars, a little baby fat on his face, and a dark robe on his body, covered with a light crimson coat, which looks even more cute.

Zhi'er gently pushed Cui Shi Niang's hands away, and said timidly: "Sister, Zhi'er is out of the way." ”

"What a good girl, can I be a sister and a gift for you?" Cui Shi Niang looked at Zhi'er more and more she liked it, and she didn't know how those dog things got started, and she felt more and more guilty in her heart, and she couldn't help but say that she would wear jade

Gently hang around your neck.

Suddenly, Cui Siniang suddenly stopped the movements in her hand, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit, trembling all over, staring at Zhi'er's neck tightly, and a crystal teardrop rolled in her eyes.

A crimson mark the size of a baby's fist on Zhi'er's neck was like a red plum budding on the white jade neck.

"Sister, sister! You're in pain! ”

A crisp shout did not wake up Cui Shi Niang, but Ling'er rushed up with an arrow step, pushed Cui Shi Niang away with a slap and hugged Zhi'er tightly in his arms, and shouted angrily: "Hmph! It's all a raccoon dog, if it weren't for the sake of your apology just now, this girl wouldn't be able to get around you today! ”

Cui Shiniang stumbled and sat on the ground, still looking at Zhi'er stupidly, and the tears in her eyes finally couldn't restrain her cheeks and fell to the ground.

"Miss Ling'er, that's the Kyoto Cui that the lord once mentioned to you..."Zhao Ye couldn't bear to glance at Cui Shi Niang, and just rushed forward to explain, Ling'er had already taken Zhi'er out of the door, leaving only two slender backs.

Ay!

"Miss Cui, I'm really sorry, my lord and Miss Ling'er regard Zhi'er as her own sister, please bear with me if you are offended!" Zhao Ye and Zhao Hai looked at each other, arched their hands towards Cui Shi Niang, and turned around and followed.

Listening to the footsteps fading away, watching them disappear at the door, Cui Siniang finally came back to her senses, her face seemed to be smiling and crying, tears covered her entire cheeks, and her mouth kept chattering: "Master, the disciple has found the little junior sister, the disciple has finally found the little junior sister!" ”

……

Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost.

At night, a bright moon hung obliquely in the treetops, and the white and mottled moonlight shone through the heavy trees in a long-abandoned courtyard.

This is a deserted village in Dingtao County, Jiyin County, Yanzhou, and it is also the location of the "Thousand Machine Hall". A light suddenly lit up in this quiet night, Cui Shi Niang raised the oil lamp in her hand, pushed open the dilapidated back door, and came to the depths of the forest.

In the depths of the forest, there is a tomb, large and small, more than a dozen, lying in the woods.

Cui Siniang put the oil lamp on the front of a grave, held two handfuls of soil and sprinkled it on the grave, knelt down in front of the grave, gently stroked the tombstone, and sobbed softly.

"Master, the disciple has found the enemy and our little sister, are you happy? I am happy. ”

"Master, our enemy is alive and well now, the disciple is very happy, the disciple doesn't want him to die easily, the disciple wants to torture him slowly, and wants him to live in fear of being hunted down and killed all the time for the rest of his life."

"Master, our little junior sister is also alive and well, of course, she is no longer called Zhu Yiqiu, her current name is Zhi'er. It was her adoptive mother and Wang Li who gave her a name, isn't it very good? ”

"Oh? Master, don't you know Wang Li? Wang Li is the little fox that the disciple told you about last time. The little junior sister lived in his house, and she became Wang Li's sister-in-law, and the disciple could see that she was very happy, chattering carefree all day long, like a happy lark. ”

"Master, when I met my little sister yesterday, she actually called me sister!"

"Master, you should say it, the disciple misses you so much..."

……

The bright moon gradually climbed into the air, Cui Shiniang was still sitting in front of the tomb, and tears fell on the tombstone. The voice is miserable, like a cuckoo crying blood, and like a lonely ape wailing, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes hidden, wandering back and forth in the forest.
