In the alum building, a man dressed in a gorgeous costume and with a good demeanor came to a chic courtyard, but found that the courtyard was empty, so he asked a maid nearby: "This girl, I don't know where the master girl is?" Why didn't she see her in Nanfang's courtyard? ”

The maidservant who was questioned looked at the polite man in front of her, and replied with a red face: "Back to Zhou Gongzi, everyone returned to their hometown a few days ago to save their relatives."

Hearing this, the man surnamed Zhou took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, looked at the words on it, crumpled it up and threw it on the ground, and left with regret on his face.

When the maidservant saw the man leaving, she slowly picked up the paper ball that the man threw on the ground, opened it carefully, and saw that it was written:

The lead is light and new makeup, good charm, natural and vulgar. They know each other well, although they meet for the first time, they are familiar with each other.

The smoke of the furnace is faint and the clouds are curvy, half-awake, and the fragrance is transparent. If you meet each other, if you are still wasted, your life is insufficient.

On the other side, in Xuzhou City, in an inn, a beautiful girl of twelve or thirteen years old said to the son next to her: "Little, childe, what other relatives do you have in Jiangning City?"

The handsome boy in brocade clothes looked sad and said softly: "After the incident of my father, the smiling relatives in the past were afraid to avoid it, so they left Jiangning one after another, and now they have returned to their hometowns, just to come back to see the place where they lived in the past, that's all."

The maid answered, and saw that the son seemed to be stuck in memory, so she stopped talking.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me say: "It is said that Chao Gai Chao Tianwang and others, who robbed the Birth Gang some time ago, are now gathering in Naliang Mountain, recruiting brothers from all over the world, going up the mountain to drink wine and eat meat, you are interested."

Someone immediately asked, "Is this true?" If this is the case, then I don't do business in the city, so I don't have to suffer the anger of the bird official on weekdays, so I might as well go up the mountain and join the gang to live freely and happily. ”

The man replied earlier: "It is true, the king of Chao Heaven robbed the ill-gotten wealth in order to rob the rich and help the poor......

"It's a good one to rob the rich and help the poor, but I heard that the ill-gotten gains, which are known as 100,000 yuan, have all entered the gate of Naliang Mountain." I saw a person come in at the door of the inn, listened to the conversation between the two before, and interrupted.

Hearing the sarcasm in the visitor's words, the man got up and drank, "Who are you?" Why do you slander my reputation as a good man in Liangshan? Do you know the Chao Gai Chao Heavenly King? ”

The person who came said lightly: "Under Liu Jingsheng, it is not disrespectful to King Chao, but it is just based on the truth."

"I think you're tired of it." The man was quite annoyed when he heard this, and walked towards the man named Liu Jingsheng with his fists.

When everyone in the hall saw that there was a good show staged, they all watched the excitement and did not think it was a big deal, and they shouted for life and death. However, to everyone's disappointment, the man rushed forward violently, but was knocked to the ground by the man's punches.

Then I heard the man say disdainfully: "Could it be that the people in Liangshan are all local chickens and dogs like you?" When the man who fell to the ground heard this, he stood up in pain, and said fiercely: "I'm just a little minion who spreads words, what kind of ability can I win, if any of my leaders in Liangshan are here, you can't help being rampant."

Liu Jingsheng was about to answer, when a crisp voice suddenly came from behind him: "Brother Liu, is it you?"

Liu Jingsheng turned his head and saw a handsome and extraordinary son staring at him, with a hint of joy in his bright eyes. If you look closely, the boy has red lips and crooked eyebrows, a delicate face, and fair skin, and it turns out that he is a tomboy. Hearing her title, Liu Jingsheng couldn't help but think of the girl who often peeked at his martial arts practice many years ago, and his heart suddenly shook, and asked, "Are you, teacher?"

Seeing that the man acquiesced to his identity, the handsome boy nodded with a smile: "I haven't seen Brother Liu for many years, and I never thought that I would meet again here."

Looking at her, Liu Jingsheng's expression became more and more excited, but a little remorse surfaced, and said: "When I heard that Uncle Li was killed, you were sent to the sect, I was anxious to find you, but those corrupt officials have no money and no work, but I have no choice. I had to ask around about your whereabouts, and it happened that my uncle had an accident, and I was so grief-stricken that I didn't know what to do, so I had to take one step at a time. However, the world is so big, I avenged my uncle's revenge, and I have searched for many years and have not found your whereabouts, but fortunately you are safe and sound. ”

Talking about the past, the handsome boy looked gloomy, and said softly: "After my father's accident, I was afraid that I would become that dusty woman in the future, at the mercy of others. I wanted to die, but I met the help of nobles and became the innocent man who could keep his innocence. With some shallow skills, over the years, he has gained some fame in the alum building. ”

Liu Jingsheng was uncomfortable when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "My brother will not let you suffer anymore, and go back to Bianjing with me, and redeem my body with you, and from now on, the sky will be high and the earth will be wide, and you can watch it."

The handsome boy shook his head: "Brother Liu, you don't understand this matter, it's not that you can redeem your body and get rid of it." After so many years of grievances and grievances, it is not possible to break them. What's more, Aunt Qing, the steward of the Alum Building, is very good to me, and I am more stable in the Alum Building. ”

Liu Jingsheng frowned and said, "But when I think of you bending to meet others, my heart is like a thorn."

Seeing his anxious appearance, the handsome boy smiled lightly and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry, I am now famous in Alum Tower, and those you don't want to see can not be seen."

While the two were greeting, the man who had made trouble before secretly left the inn, and looked back at Liu Jingsheng deeply when he went out.

After greeting for a long time, the two swept away the haze brought by the old past. The handsome boy looked at the maid on the side and introduced to Liu Jingsheng: "This is my good sister, Yue'er." Seeing that the son introduced her like this, the maid was not satisfied, and said to Liu Jingsheng with a cold face: "I am Miss's maid, my name is Gu Yue'er."

Liu Jingsheng, who didn't know why, hurriedly bowed back.

Looking at the more serious Yue'er, the handsome boy smiled, and suddenly thought of the previous incident, and asked Liu Jingsheng: "Brother Liu has a grudge against the people of Liangshan?"

Hearing this, Liu Jingsheng shook his head and said: "I have nothing to do with Chao Gai and the others, but I hate those who wantonly plunder caravans to enrich their own pockets, but they are called robbing the rich and helping the poor. My uncle died at the hands of these people. ”

Hearing this, the handsome boy stopped talking, lowered his head, and was instantly relieved. Although she did not know Liu Jingsheng, who treated her like her own sister, since childhood, she knew that he had no father and no mother, and was raised by his uncle since he was a child, and he treated his uncle like his own father.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of her father, who she had overheard that was also victimized. She returned to Jiangning this time to visit her former residence, and at the same time wanted to find out the truth about the house that was raided back then.

……

After Xu Ziling hurried through the road, he prepared to settle down in this village called Anren Village. There was no inn in the village, so he stayed at the house of a local rich man surnamed Wang.

Seeing that he was young but imposing, the head of the Wang family arranged a good guest room for him, and instructed him to walk around the house at will except for the backyard, and if he wanted to eat, he just ordered his subordinates. The hospitality of the head of the family gave Xu Ziling a lot of good impressions, and he settled down in this Wang family.

In the middle of the night, Xu Ziling, who was asleep, was awakened by the chaotic sound in the house, and faintly heard the sound of crying.
