Gu Qingzhu didn't buy ink ingots, and when she met Mu Jincheng, a bad star, she didn't stay, and left Nancang County directly, she has always been thrifty, as long as the back basket is not too heavy, she is always reluctant to spend money on a ride.

Like this morning, she went out a little late, she hurried slowly, and when she climbed the Cockscomb Mountain, the sun had already set in the west, and the sky was full of red clouds, but fortunately it was spring at this time, and the sky would not get dark so quickly.

Gu Qingzhu climbed the mountain with a heavy load, and there was already a thin layer of sweat on her body, she planned to take a break on the big rock and then walk home in one go, just as she was sitting and drinking water, she suddenly smelled a smell of wine behind her, she immediately grabbed the walking pole and stood up vigilantly.

Behind him stood a hooked, thirty-year-old man, half-detached hair, unshaven beard, a pair of dead fish eyes staring fixedly at Gu Qingzhu's not full chest, Gu Qingzhu recognized this obscene man, he was the notorious Yang Dafa of Yangjia Village, who was lazy and specialized in picking the windows of women's homes, and was a bad embryo that people hated.

"Hehe, I said which fairy sister went down to the mortal dust, it turned out to be you...... Belch! Yang smiled in a daze, revealing a mouth full of black teeth.

He stole the chickens in the village in the morning, sold them for money in Cuiping Town, and smacked a pot of yellow soup until the afternoon, and was coaxed out by the impatient shopkeeper, he stared into the mountain with the strength of the wine, Yangjia Village should have turned to the fork in the road halfway up the mountain, but he saw Gu Qingzhu in front of him from a distance, and he had evil thoughts for a while, and secretly followed.

"You're on the wrong track!" Gu Qingzhu said coldly.

"That's right, that's right, where is Ah Mei, where am I going with you!" Yang Dafa saw that Gu Qingzhu seemed to be angry, and said even more shamelessly.

"You'd better hurry up and go, and talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!" Gu Qingzhu clenched his walking stick tightly and glared at her angrily.

"Don't be polite to Brother, come on, let Brother take care of you well......" The brazen Yang Dafa relied on the fact that it was getting late, and there was no one on the road, approaching step by step, and he was drunk and took off his clothes frantically.

Looking at Yang Dafa's disgusting appearance, the hiking stick in Gu Qingzhu's hand slashed his head: "Get out!" ”

The hiking pole is made of miscellaneous trees in the mountains, strong and tough, Gu Qingzhu was annoyed, and used ten percent of his strength, Yang Dafa raised a big bag on his head, and his sparse hair couldn't cover it.

"Stinky girl, toast and don't eat and drink, dare to beat me, see if I don't do it now!" Yang Dafa touched the bag on his head, his heart hurt, and the pain was so painful that he woke up for a moment, and he rushed up angrily.

Gu Qingzhu wielded her trekking pole to fight back, but she was a girl in the end, and she was always inferior to an adult man in terms of strength, Yang Dafa snatched her hiking pole and pushed her down on the big rock.

The foul smell sprayed on his face, which was disgusting, and Gu Qingzhu struggled hard and shouted for help.

"At this hour, within a radius of ten miles, except for the wild wolf, there is no ghost, you be obedient and honest, let Lao Tzu be happy, Lao Tzu is happy, maybe you will be left with a small life, otherwise, you must be raped first and then killed!" Yang Dafa pressed Gu Qingzhu, pinched her neck, and threatened.

Gu Qingzhu couldn't scream, so he bent his knees and kicked him hard, but he was caught by his legs, and in the struggle, the purse around his waist hit Yang Dafa's ribs, he impatiently dragged it down, and found that it contained money, he checked it, and his face showed the surprise of a windfall.

Taking advantage of his distraction, Gu Qingzhu broke the hand that was stuck in her neck with both hands, and shouted again, his voice was poignant and tragic, echoing in the valley.

"Slap" Yang Dafa slapped Gu Qingzhu in the face, and said viciously: "Scream, the more you scream, the happier Lao Tzu is!" ”

Gu Qingzhu struggled to resist, and never stopped for half a moment, seeing that the sky was getting darker, the despair in her heart also hit with this boundless darkness, could it be that she was really unlucky today, and she was going to lose her innocence here!

Just when Yang Dafa tore Gu Qingzhu's clothes regardless of it, a loud shout came: "Stop!" ”

Yang Dafa was drunk, dazed, where could he hear anything else at this time, he only rudely tugged Gu Qingzhu's dress, wanting to satisfy his filthy desires.

"Shameless, beg to beat!" Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the owner of the voice unceremoniously picked up Yang Dafa, who had a big hair, and threw him to the ground like a little chicken.

"Who? Who he Ma De bad Lao Tzu good thing! Yang Dafa got up from the ground and jumped to his feet and scolded.

Gu Qingzhu, who was saved, struggled to sit up from the stone, smoothed his clothes, and looked at the comer, but only saw the back of a strong man.

I saw that he was eight feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a gray burden on his back, and his back and shoulders were broad and strong, and he was full of black short shirts, and his legs were not like ordinary peasants with loose trouser legs, but were tied up layer by layer with strips of cloth, and there was a pair of black mille-feuille shoes on his feet, which were dusty, as if he had walked thousands of miles.

"Get out of here, or I'll beat you all over the ground looking for teeth!" The strong man shouted, and the leaves next to him trembled.

"Big brother, you also like this girl, it's okay, it's okay, you use it first, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." When Yang Dafa saw the figure of a strong man, he immediately woke up halfway from drinking, nodded and smiled.

As soon as Gu Qingzhu was said by him, he slammed a spirit, didn't get out of the wolf's den, and fell into the tiger's mouth, could it really be impossible to get over it today? She subconsciously glanced at her feet, this place was very close to the most dangerous ridge at the entrance of Gu Jiaao, if she moved fast enough and jumped down, she would definitely die without pain, but she took pity on her two younger siblings, Gu Qingzhu was at war with heaven and man in her heart, biting her lip to prepare for the worst.

On the other side, the strong man heard him say this, as if he was insulted, he didn't bother to say half a nonsense, he flew up in anger and kicked Yang Dafa in the chest, he fell to the ground, and the nosebleed was dripping.

"A good man spares his life, spares his life!" At this time, Yang Dafa was completely awake, trembling and kowtowing on the ground.

"Get out of here!" The strong man drank in disgust.

"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Dafa nodded like a chicken pecking rice, crawling backwards like a shrimp.

"Wait!" The strong man snorted coldly.

"Huh?" Yang Dafa froze in place like a dead snake.

"Leave that girl's purse behind!" The strong man caught a glimpse of Yang Dafa's dirty whole body, only the light blue purse was elegant and chic, and it was not his at first glance.

"Yes, yes, yes." How dare Yang Dafa say half a word, he stood up, dragged down his purse, put it on the stone on the side, turned around and ran away like a gust of wind.

At this time, if you hesitate for a while, you are afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, how dare you ask for any money!

"Girl, take it for a good life." The strong man picked up the purse, carefully patted off the dust, and took a few steps to hand it to Gu Qingzhu.

Gu Qingzhu was scared, hesitated and didn't answer, and said, "Thank you, big brother, for saving your life, this money should be a thank you gift." ”

"You went out to sell mountain goods, this hard-earned money, how can you give it to others plainly, keep it for yourself, I want a girl's thanks, say it, it's really a loss of face in the Hidden Dragon Valley." The strong man laughed, hearty and straightforward.

"You...... Who are you, and how do I not recognize you? Gu Qingzhu heard him talk about the Hidden Dragon Col, and suddenly jumped up and asked.

"Huh? Green bamboo? I'm Liang Mancang! The strong man's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the girl in front of him, although she became a big girl, her eyebrows and eyes were still vaguely old.

"Brother Mancang!" Gu Qingzhu was surprised and delighted.

"Let's go, it's getting dark, let's hurry back to the Hidden Dragon Pass." Liang Mancang moved the burden on his back to his chest, and grabbed Gu Qingzhu's back basket on his back.

Gu Qingzhu packed up his things, and Shi Cai struggled to resist with all his strength, at this time, his legs were soft and his feet were numb, and in the dark, he only felt that he was stepping on cotton, light and heavy, and when he walked to a dangerous place, he still needed Liang Mancang to reach out and help him.

"Brother Mancang, our Hidden Dragon Pass was renamed Gujiaao five years ago, and even the Hidden Dragon Temple on the lotus flower was changed to the Temple of Mercy and Grace." Walking to the calm place, Gu Qingzhu finally recovered and talked with Liang Mancang while walking.

"Oh, our brothers have been gone for five years, and it's hard to get through the news, but I don't know about it, and everyone in your family is okay." After five years, walking on the mountain road home again, Liang Mancang only felt familiar and unfamiliar.

"My mother died when she gave birth to my little sister, and my father hasn't been heard from for five years." Gu Qingzhu raised his head, his sad gaze passed through the dark bamboo forest, and he didn't know where to look.

"Aunt Wang is such a good person, how can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone." Liang Mancang sighed.

Gu Qingzhu was silent for a while, Aunt Gu passed away a few years ago, she didn't know whether to tell him at this time, so she asked instead: "What about Brother Mandou, why didn't he come back with you?" ”

"My brother ......" Liang Mancang reached out and stroked the burden on his chest, in addition to a few changes of clothes, there was also a white porcelain jar, "I brought him back!" ”

"Ahh Gu Qingzhu was frightened and covered her mouth, she didn't want to tell him about the sadness, but she unexpectedly touched another injury on him.

"My mother, she ......" Liang Mancang looked at Gu Qingzhu and didn't say the last words, how much he wanted to hear Gu Qingzhu say that his mother was fine.

"Auntie, auntie......" Gu Qingzhu choked up, his throat seemed to be blocked by thatch, and he couldn't say anything.

However, it doesn't matter whether he says it or not, Liang Mancang guessed the result, he silently patted Gu Qingzhu's shoulder, and strode forward.

From the joy of reuniting at first glance to the sadness of life and death, the two are just a few words, five years, like a flick of a finger, but it is so long that it is suffocating.

Liang Mancang needs enough time to accept the bad news of his mother's death and bravely face the empty house, Gu Qingzhu can't imagine how Liang Mancang, who is alone, will continue to live without his parents and brother.

The two hurried in silence, the night was already in the mountains and forests, and a crescent moon hung in the treetops in the east.

"Wow!" Rhubarb came running wildly, its four claws flying, the wind blowing the hair on its face to the sides, and its ears standing up vigilantly.

"This is your rhubarb, and when you left, it was still a little milk dog." Gu Qingzhu scratched Rhubarb's head.

"It's just afraid it won't recognize me right now." Liang Mancang smiled bitterly and whistled at Rhubarb.

"Wang!" Rhubarb screamed, staring at him with round eyes and a look of disapproval.

"Huh? What's wrong with the village? Liang Mancang raised his hand and pointed to a place, where many torches and lanterns were lit, and the crowd was crowded.

"I don't know!" Gu Qingzhu panicked inexplicably, the direction was clearly her home, Qingsong didn't come to greet her today, something should happen, right?
