In the twelfth year of Tianfu, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Huaiyang.

When the first rays of sunshine on the horizon have not yet sprinkled Huaiyang, Yuan Yuxin has already begun to drink the second glass of wine, and in a place further north than Huaiyang, something went wrong with one of his wealth-making places: a stream of liukou from the north of the Chijiang River went south, threatening that place, Yuan Yuxin weighed it again and again, but still called Li Changjun over, he whispered a few words to Li Changjun, and half an hour later, three horses left Huaiyang with three people, including Li Changjun.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Hu Li yawned and walked into the spacious antechamber.

"Well," Yuan Yuxin beckoned to him, motioning for him to come closer, "Changjun has been sent to the north by me in the past few days, and in the past few days of his absence, Miss's escort will be handed over to you." ”

"Huh?" Hu Li was stunned, but finally agreed, "Okay." ”

"Don't worry, the salary will be added to you." Yuan Yuxin took another sip of wine and sent Hu Li out.

Hu Li sighed softly, it was better to go to her with that girl, but it seemed that it was a soup. Hu Li's martial arts are not low, and he can rank in the top ten among the guards of the original mansion, but he is idle, relying on his handsome face and that eloquent mouth, he has deceived I don't know how many girls, even now, he still likes to look at those girls on the street, and even in the major green buildings in Huaiyang, there are still a few of his friends.

"Come on, I've got enough to stand today, Miss is so wild, she runs blindly all day long, I don't know how Li Changjun persevered......" Hu Li muttered in a low voice, then jumped on the eaves and disappeared.

......

"Miss, where are we going to play today? Are you going to the Thunder Tower? Yu Yu looked forward to it, she remembered the white-clothed boy she met in the Thunder Tower last year, the two almost left each other's tokens, and made a private agreement for life, but unfortunately, as soon as the young lady appeared, the eyes of the white-clothed boy were attracted to the past. Of course, this is also a helpless thing, who made our young lady so beautiful? Yu Yu thought that she still hoped to go again this year, and she would be able to meet another boy in white, who only had her own kind in her eyes.

"Where do you want to go?" Yuan Yuxin rarely dressed up once, and brought up the hosta sent by Yuan Yuxin.

"I want to ...... Go to the Thunder Tower! Yu Yu unabashedly said what was in his heart.

"Descending Thunder Tower," Yuan Tripping Heart seemed to suddenly remember something, "You shouldn't ......?"

"I hate it, Miss, don't you say it." Yu Yu's face turned red all of a sudden, and when he went up, he scratched the squeaky nest of the original stumbling heart.

"Don't make a fuss, don't you make a fuss, can't I say it? Hahahaha. Yuan Feixin was scratched and laughed out of tears, and he was about to scratch Yu Yu, and the two became entangled together.

On the roof, Hu Li's two nostrils suddenly had nosebleeds, he wiped his hands casually, quickly covered his ears, and muttered in his mouth, "Don't look at indecent people." "I don't know what he made up in his brain.

"These two aunts and grandmothers really killed me, both of them are so beautiful, and they make this kind of sound, even if they change Li Changjun, that guy can't stand it." Hu Li said again.

"Wait! Could it be, it's because of this that he's been serving as Miss's secret guard, right?! Hu Li left and made up the scene of Li Changjun smiling evilly with a nosebleed in his head, and then shook his head and whispered, "The wind is going down, the world is going down." ”

......

There are still big red lanterns hanging in front of every house, the red skin of firecrackers has not been swept away, children of the same age gather together, holding snacks or small cannons bought with New Year's money, from time to time there are hawkers from the sound of selling from the deep alleys, they or carry a flat burden, or push a cart, and the things sold are also strange, from children's toys, to seasonal fruits, snacks, everything.

Yan Bailu grabbed the corner of Su Jingchen's clothes and looked around, as if she wanted everything, but she just didn't speak, only if she wanted something to eat, she would stop and stare at it for a long time, so Su Jingchen would buy it for her. In fact, today the old man Tang threw Su Jingchen a money bag, the money in it was completely enough, and the old man also said, "Buy the little doll for her whatever she wants, don't treat my lovely little granddaughter badly." ”

"Where do you want to go today?" Su Jingchen lowered his head, touched Yan Bailu's head and said.

"I want to go over there!" Yan Bailu pointed to the side of the Thunder Descending Tower with a happy face, "That tall tower, very early, very early—I wanted to go a long time ago!" She said a few times in a row, very early, probably because she really wanted to go.

"Okay, okay, then we'll go over there," Su Jingchen smiled, turned his head to look at Lou Qi, and asked, "Lou Qi, what do you say?" Do you want to come with us? ”

"Then go," Lou Qi pouted, then looked at Yan Bailu with a wicked smile and said, "I'm going to buy and eat all the delicious food over there, so that you can only eat the bad food." ”

Who knew that Yan Bailu suddenly puffed out her mouth, and she looked like an angry little pufferfish, she grabbed into the corner of Su Jingchen's clothes hard, and her eyes turned red, as if she was about to cry, Su Jingchen glared at Lou Qi, and it seemed that she didn't plan to care.

Lou Qi panicked all of a sudden, he couldn't coax a child at all! He squatted down in a hurry and smiled awkwardly, "Little Bailu, you...... Don't cry......"

Yan Bailu had some tears in the corners of his eyes, as if they were about to flow out.

"That's that...... Then I won't buy it! Oh no! Then I won't eat it, I'll buy you all the delicious food! As long as you don't cry, I'll buy you all the delicious food! ”

"Really?" Yan Bailu's voice was still a little crying.

"Really, really! As long as you don't cry, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat! Lou Qi pretended to stretch out three fingers, "Really! ”

"That's good!" Yan Bailu sniffed, suddenly laughed, turned his head to Su Jingchen and said, "Brother, brother, let's go quickly." ”

"Let's go, then." Su Jingchen smiled, looked at Lou Qi again, Lou Qi looked helpless, and said in his heart, Am I being tricked by this little girl......

The tower is hidden in the white woods, the snow-covered spires can be vaguely seen, and the red lanterns on both sides of the road are still lit, adding a bit of color to this cold winter, and the pedestrians walk in twos and threes, they wear all kinds of new clothes, forming a colorful rainbow on the bluestone road.

Yan Bailu took Su Jingchen's hand and jumped all the way like a fawn, and the people around him talked softly, praising Yan Bailu's cuteness, and there was also a young couple, after seeing Yan Bailu, the husband suddenly whispered a few words in his wife's ear, making his wife blush, and pinching her husband's waist, thinking that what the husband said was probably "Let's go back and have such a cute child." Something like that

"I'm going to eat that!" Yan Bailu pointed to a small stall selling roasted sweet potatoes on the side of the road, looked at Lou Qi and said.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you, do you want it?" Lou Qi rubbed his hands together and walked towards the stall.

"I'll have one too." Su Jingchen said rarely.

Lou Qi nodded, walked into the small stall selling roasted sweet potatoes, through a small crude barbed wire, the sweet potatoes were soft and glutinous by charcoal fire, and were steaming, the boss intimately peeled off part of the sweet potatoes, so that the guests could see the appearance of the sweet potatoes inside, Lou Qi swallowed his saliva and asked, "Boss, are your sweet potatoes sweet?" ”

"Of course it's sweet," the boss smiled, continuing to roast the sweet potatoes, "but the sweet potatoes I sell here are much more expensive than elsewhere." ”

"Huh? Why? When Lou Qi heard this, he suddenly wanted to turn around and walk away.

"If you buy it, you know that you will never lose money, how about it? Come to one? ”

"Then give me three ...... Two of them. Lou Qi touched the money bag and suddenly changed his words.

"What's wrong? Shy? A voice suddenly sounded beside Lou Qi, and he turned his head, it was Yuan Yuxin and Yu Yu.

"Hey, how can it be," Lou Qi sneered, and said in his heart that there are you everywhere, "I suddenly have a stomachache and don't want to eat." ”

"Really?" Yu Yu smiled, turned to the boss and said, "Boss, bring me two roasted sweet potatoes." ”

"Okay, right away."

Yu Yu stood in front of the stall staring at the roasted sweet potatoes, and Lou Qi stood in a row with Yuan Yuxin, speechless for a long time.

"Thank you for that day." Yuan Shuxin ran his fingers around the strands of hair hanging down on one side, and his voice was as small as a mosquito humming.

"Huh?" Lou Qi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "What did you just say?" I didn't hear you. ”

Yuan Feixin's face turned red all of a sudden, she thought that Lou Qi was deliberately teasing her to say this, but the problem was that her voice was too small just now...... Lou Qi really didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing!" Yuan Shuxin closed his eyes and shouted at Lou Qi, and handed him a money bag, "Here, pay you back!" ”

"Huh?" Lou Qi was stunned again, "Do you really pay me back?" The money was yours, my mother said......"

"Less nonsense! If you take it, you will take it! Yuan Fei angrily stuffed the money bag to Lou Qi, turned around and left.

"Hey, Miss, Miss! Wait for me! Yu Yu paid the money, and ran towards Yuan Yuan with two roasted sweet potatoes, and shook his head at Lou Qi with an expression of rotten wood that could not be carved in the middle.

Lou Qi held the money and couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of thing is this?

The well-dressed boys around him gritted their teeth one by one, ignoring the female companions around him, and cursed Lou Qi in a low voice, saying in his heart that this is a shabby boy who ran out of the place, and actually ran into Miss Yuan's jade hand! And that bag of money, what the hell is going on? If it weren't for Lou Qi being too tall and strong, maybe they would have rushed up and beaten Lou Qi. These sons and brothers are all depressed and angry, and their faces are sad and indignant, probably where the inspiration for them to write those fleshy limericks comes from.

Hu Li squeezed in the crowd and suddenly laughed, hey, it seems that our young lady has someone she likes? Then he touched the hand of the female companion beside him, stuffed her with two silver leaves, smiled evilly, and turned away.

"Miss, Miss! Where are you? Yu Yu was holding two sweet potatoes, and when she turned around, she suddenly couldn't find the original stumbling heart, she looked around, but still couldn't find the familiar figure, this one turned around, how far can a person run?

Yu Yu was about to step forward, when a sharp pain suddenly came from her neck, and then, her body softened and she completely lost consciousness.
