The sky was cloudy, the thunder was torn apart, surging and roaring in the clouds, and raindrops were falling densely.

In the corner of the narrow eaves, a young girl huddled.

The rain kept hitting her face and the coldness soaked all the limbs, she couldn't help but shiver slightly, the water droplets flowed down her long hair, Zhao Qingnian wiped a handful of water traces in front of her, and didn't dare to move.

There was another sound of talking from below, and the rain was pouring down, and the human voice was faintly coming into her ears.

It was Aunt Hong's angry voice: "Where did this cunning little slut run away again?" ”

"Aunt Hong, don't be angry, beware of being angry, she smoked a cigarette, even if she has martial arts, she has been running for a long time, and she can't run far."

"Keep looking for me! Dare to tease my Aunt Hong, and really don't take our Changle Fang in your eyes! The footsteps faded away, and Zhao Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off the eaves.

As soon as he landed, his legs and feet were so weak that he almost didn't fall to the ground. Zhao Qingnian rubbed his sour knees, and his heart was so smoky.

The person had already left, Zhao Qingnian didn't dare to stay longer, she raised her feet and was about to rush to the yard, but as soon as she turned around, her footsteps stopped.

Not far away, Aunt Hong, with dozens of guards, walked out of the corner with a sneer, making the already narrow alley more and more crowded.

Zhao Qingnian took two steps back, looked around, dozens of young strong men had become encircled, Aunt Hong slowly stepped forward, looked at her, and said very leisurely: "Run, keep running." ”

Worst! She was careless!

She raised her eyes to look at Aunt Hong, and Aunt Hong raised her eyebrows: "What, you want to beg for mercy?" Do you know how much trouble you've gotten into? I'm scared now, I tell you, it's too late! ”

"What are you doing in a daze? Tie her up for me! Take it to Peng Gongzi's mansion to make amends! ”

Several strong men next to him got the order, sneered and tightened the thick hemp rope in their hands, and approached her step by step.

What to do? She doesn't want to go to the Peng Gongzi's house! The situation was in crisis, and she slowly closed her eyes.

The ears were filled with the wandering voice of a strong man: "What is she doing?" "It's just a trick! What to hesitate about? Why don't you hurry up and tie her up for me?! "This is Aunt Hong's voice.

The aura in the body vibrates, and the spiritual power is like an invisible water wave, rippling out from the body, and the skirt that hangs heavily after being drenched in the rain is windless.

There was a thunderous explosion in the sky, Zhao Qingnian's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the thunder light opened his teeth and claws, and he was greeted in his eyes.

The rain was pouring down, the night was thick, like a plate of smudged ink, and the woman's panicked screams were buried in this rainy night.

I don't know when, the torrential rain stopped, and in the suburbs where the rocks and weeds grew wildly, there was a man walking alone.

From time to time, a light breeze swept over the tips of the grass, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the tips of the grass trembled lightly in the moonlight, imperceptible.

In the depths of the hidden alley, Zhao Qingnian opened her eyes, and there was a clear night sky, her whole body was extremely sore, she held her crumbling head, struggling to stand up.

"What's going on......" she murmured, her eyes blank.

As soon as her legs were weak, she couldn't support her body, and the whole person fell to the ground, her knees hit the cold bluestone bricks, her body shrank subconsciously, and she arched up in pain.

Looking around, there were more than a dozen people lying down, including Aunt Hong in red.

The memory gradually returned, Zhao Qingnian was shocked, and while it was still late at night, no one noticed, and forced his body to leave here.

Back in the small courtyard where he stayed, Zhao Qingnian changed out of his soaked clothes, wrapped him in a coarse cloth twice, and prepared to go out tomorrow and lose it.

After washing, she lay on the hard bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The rainstorm had been falling for a while, and Yuan Qi sat at the table, with a brush in his hand circled and dotted, unaffected by the rainstorm in the slightest.

Changyuan pushed the door and walked in: "Pavilion Master, we can't hide it from Master Yan, he is already on his way to Ning'an." ”

Yuan Qi calculated the time, earlier than he expected. He smiled and responded: "Almost, if he hasn't noticed the clue now, I suspect that Yan Zhao is in vain." ”

"Pavilion Master, we want to ......" Changyuan gestured.

Yuan Qi waved his hand: "No need, we don't need to make a feud with Taichu, and let's see what Yan Zhao wants to do." Besides, he was really curious about what Zhao Qingnian did to him that night to make him chase after him like this.

Nagaki complied, and reported to him: "The ...... entered Changle Fang and was bought by Peng Gongzi for 50,000 taels of silver, but the person ran away, and Aunt Hong took the guards to look for her, and her whereabouts are unknown for the time being. ”

As soon as the words fell, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the air, and Changyuan was silenced, Yuan Qi suddenly felt something and looked out the window.

Not far from Changle Fang, he could feel a violent aura fluctuation, even if it was him, it was difficult to parry.

Something was stirring in his heart, shouting and urging him to go and have a look. Yuan Qi forcibly suppressed his curiosity and ordered: "You must not reveal anything about her. ”

"Today's matter, if it is revealed, you are the only one who asks!"

Changyuan was startled, and immediately knelt down and arched his hand: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

It seemed that he had slept for a while, and as soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Qingnian woke up.

The headache was cracking, there was still a burning pain in the abdomen, the limbs were weak and weak, and I touched my forehead, which was hot.

I'm so hungry, I'm so uncomfortable, are I sick? Zhao Qingnian thought to himself, struggled out of bed, and ate the pastries on the table.

After she drank the water and swallowed it, she found that it tasted strange, and what she just ate seemed to be the lotus fragrant cake she bought two days ago!

At this time, she couldn't care so much, she ate it anyway.

She was sick and wanted to see a doctor, but she didn't have any money on her. After thinking about it, Zhao Qingnian walked to the dresser and picked up the hosta for bunching hair, and he only had this one left.

She hurriedly put on her clothes and went out, not forgetting to take the coat wrapped in coarse cloth with her.

In the Xinglin Medical Center, the doctor's fingers with white hair left Zhao Qingnian's wrist: "Don't worry, girl, your body is fine." I drank this bowl of medicine first, and then I would prescribe a few pairs of medicine to the girl later, and the girl would go back and drink it. ”

Zhao Qingnian replied in disgust, took the medicine bowl that exuded a sour smell, hesitated, and poured it down in one go.

It's terrible.

She thought with a twisted face, and poured another bowl of warm water.

The street in the early morning was filled with all kinds of tempting aromas, Zhao Qingnian had no desire to eat, thinking that last night's lotus cake gave her too much psychological shadow.

After thinking about it, she still walked to a stall and bought a pack of white sugar cakes. The old man selling sugar gourds next to her saw her disgusted appearance, and said with a smile: "Little girl, what's wrong?" Not happy? ”

Zhao Qingxuan raised his eyes and nodded.

The old man took a string of red and bright sugar gourds and handed it to her, the plump hawthorn was wrapped in a red transparent sugar coating, which looked very attractive: "Come, take it, and be happy when you eat it." ”

Zhao Qingnian stretched out his hand and took it: "Thank you." ”

She lowered her head and took a bite, the sweet and sour taste filled her mouth, and the taste was somewhat novel. This is the first time she has eaten sugar gourds, and she feels pretty good.

Zhao Qingnian raised his head and smiled at the old man: "Thank you, the sugar gourd is delicious." ”

In the small empty courtyard, a man with a thief's eyelid climbed the wall and slipped in.

He found a suit of clothes in a nearby garbage dump, the workmanship was gorgeous and fine, and the embroidery on the skirt was actually embroidered with gold thread! Such a precious thing is thrown away, and the people who want to come to live in this yard are extremely rich, and they can go with whatever they want, and they will not eat and drink for the rest of their lives!

Thinking of this, the man's movements sped up a few points.

Unexpectedly, the door was pushed at this moment, and the man panicked and quickly hid in the kitchen next to him.

The person who came in was none other than Zhao Qingnian.

As soon as she entered the door, she sensed that something was wrong, someone had been here, and maybe she hadn't left yet.

After glancing around the small courtyard, she decided not to act rashly for the time being, and carried her things into the bedroom.

The doctor's medicine really worked, and although her head was still a little drowsy at the moment, it was still much better than in the morning.

She sighed, it was so uncomfortable to be sick.

Zhao Qingnian hadn't forgotten that there were people in the courtyard, but he wasn't sure if this uninvited guest was still there.

Carrying the herbs, she went to the kitchen, only to push open the door, and a strong wind suddenly hit from behind.

Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she subconsciously dodged to the side to dodge the attack.

When she stood still, she looked in that direction and was a lean man in the prime of life.

When the man saw her, his eyes were straight, and his mouth was still babbling obscenely: "My good girl, I thought it was a hero who hid from officials, but I didn't expect it to be a fairy daughter." ”

A hero who hides from officials? The imperial court never asks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, where does this come from?

Zhao Qingnian asked: "The heroes of the rivers and lakes who hide from the officials?" Why hide? "Most of the knights who walk the rivers and lakes live in inns, even if they have enemies, they will not rent a yard like her.

The man laughed twice, and his eyes were glued to her obscenely: "The little lady doesn't know yet, the wind has been tight recently, and the people in the government have been strict in investigating the rivers and lakes, and if you don't agree with each other, you will be imprisoned." ”

He looked at her obscenely with shining eyes: "Look at the girl like this, is she a woman in the rivers and lakes who hides the limelight?" Otherwise, you won't live in the inn and come and live here. ”

He secretly had a plan in his heart, thinking that such a good-looking and rich woman, he might not see a second one in his life, but now that he met here, he still grabbed her handle, how could he let it go?

Zhao Qingnian saw that he was not good, and his tone was not like a good person, so he frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

The man rubbed his hands and stepped forward: "I want to have a spring festival with the little lady." ”

Zhao Qingnian's face turned cold: "You are looking for death." ”

The man looked at her more and more obsessively: "If I can sleep with the fairy daughter, I will admit it even if I die." As he spoke, he approached Zhao Qingnian: "You just follow me, so that you can suffer less, otherwise..."

Zhao Qingnian took a few steps back: "Otherwise, what?" ”

The man stared at her with bad intentions, and his little eyes rolled slightly: "Otherwise, I will go to the official and let the official master arrest you, torture you, and put you in prison!" ”

The man threatened, as if he decided that she would not resist, and pounced.

Zhao Qingnian dodged sideways and went around the man's back, she twisted the man's hands like electricity, and then flipped it violently.

The screams of killing pigs sounded, Zhao Qingnian cut his hands behind his back, and kicked his left leg vigorously towards the crook of his knee, kicking him to his knees at once.

The man had cold sweat on his forehead, secretly scolding himself for not having long eyes, and while crying out in pain, he couldn't stop begging for mercy: "Spare me, auntie, I was wrong, it's the little toad who wants to eat swan meat, spare me, the little one kowtows to you!" ”

She said with more force, and said coldly, "Spare you?" Let you run out and sue the government? ”

The man was poked in the heart by her, and hurriedly denied it: "No, no, no, how could it be, how dare the villain do such a thing!" You don't dare to give a hundred cowards to the villain, you have a lot of adults, let the villain go. ”

Zhao Qingnian snorted coldly, she didn't believe half of this kind of person's words, the man was still begging for mercy, and he was stunned by her knife in one hand.

Zhao Qingnian saw that he fell softly, so he took off the shawl he was holding in the crook of his arm, tied him firmly, gagged him with a rag, and locked him in the kitchen.
