"Cheng Yubai, in fact, you should smile more."

Hearing this, he lowered his head and met Su Bai's glass-like eyes, her pupils were very pure, like crystal stones, clean and full of aura.

"Cheng Yubai, you look much better when you smile than usual, if you can smile every day, you will definitely be able to charm thousands of girls, as well as thousands of young men." She added.

Cheng Yubai gently hooked the corners of his lips, "You like me to laugh?" ”

"I like it, the beautiful man smiles, and the city and the country fall together."

"I don't want to fall over the city, and I don't want to fall over the country."

I just need ...... Be safe.

Not long after, the people at the gate of the temple had already come in. The man was an old woman with a basket in her hand with some incense offerings.

When the old woman saw Su Bai and them, her eyes were still a little surprised.

"Who are you? Why is it here? The old woman asked.

The old woman was dressed in a brown robe, with gray hair and a kind countenance.

Su Bai stood up, "My name is Su Bai, his name is Cheng Yubai, and that one is He Zihan." We were pitted in. ”

"Trapped?"

"yes!" Speaking of this, Su Baike was angry. In vain, she trusted the beggar named Ah Shui so much, but she didn't expect that this would be a game in the end.

He Zihan said, "Old woman, we are from other places, but after coming here, we found that there was no room in the inn, just when we were worried that there was no place to go, a beggar named Ah Shui told us that he could take us here to rest, and then, unexpectedly, Ah Shui actually put medicine in our food, and then stole all the silver taels on us." ”

The old woman already understood the general situation, sighed, and said, "It is really bitter for you...... Ah Shui is a gangster in our area, often bullying outsiders, you don't understand, no wonder you will be fooled. ”

"Does the old woman know where Ah Shui lives? so that we can go to him and get the money back. He Zihan hurriedly asked.

The old woman shook her head, "I don't know, he has no residence, and every time he finishes a business, in order to avoid the government's investigation, he will find a hidden place to hide." ”

"No, but this temple is so clean, isn't it that Ah Shui often comes to clean it? Ah Shui doesn't live in the temple? ”

"Nonsense! Who said that this temple was cleaned by him, it was me, an old woman, who would come over every few days, put incense, and clean it. The old woman put down what she was holding, then skillfully picked up the broom and began to do the cleaning work. I know every flower, every grass, every brick and tile here, better than anyone else. Since my son went to the army, there are only two people in the family, my daughter-in-law and me, I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I go up to the mountain to clean up, and by the way, I pray that my son can be safe and go home as soon as possible......"

Su Bai was a little moved when he heard this, "Old woman, your heart is so sincere, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless you." Anyway, we have nothing to do, so why don't we help the old woman clean up together. ”

Su Bai took another broom and swept the ground diligently with his hands and feet.

The old woman couldn't help laughing when she saw her so diligent, "Little girl, you don't have to worry about having nowhere to go, don't dislike it, just come to my old man's house, anyway, there are few people in our family, and there are many rooms!" ”

"Yes, old woman, you are such a good person!" Su Bai's mouth was wiped with honey, and he swept the floor more diligently.

At noon, the old woman went down the mountain with Su Bai and others, and the old woman's home was not far from the market, so it was more convenient to go out in the future.

The old woman's home is very simple, it is an ordinary small courtyard, and there are several rooms in the courtyard, presumably for the guests.

"Daughter-in-law, a guest is coming, hurry up and cook something to eat." As soon as she entered the door, the old woman shouted into the house at the top of her voice.

A young woman of about twenty-eight years old walked out, she was wearing a light blue floral dress, a headscarf on her head, a delicate face, and a faint smile, typical of a young peasant woman.

"Okay, a few guests, please wait a moment." When the young woman had finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.

The old woman invited Su Bai and the others into the house, pointed to the direction of the kitchen and said, "She is my daughter-in-law, her name is Alain, and she cooks pretty good, if you are hungry, tell her." ”

"Okay."

"Where did you guys come from?" The old woman asked.

"Actually, I don't know where I came from, Cheng Yubai said that I am from Haidu, so I should be from Haidu." Su Bai poured herself a glass of water, she was starving to death this way, and she hadn't eaten yet, so she could only drink some water to cushion her stomach first.

"You don't know your family? What a poor child. ”

Su Bai doesn't care, she is used to being nervous, and she doesn't know what it's like to have a family.

"I don't remember what my family looks like, I heard that they were raided by Queen Haidu, so I haven't seen them since I was a child. This time I came to the Western Regions, just to get the fire lotus, take it back and give it to the queen of Haidu, hoping that as soon as she is happy, she can pardon my family. ”

Fire lotus? The old woman's face was a little solemn.

Cheng Yubai caught the look of the old woman, and thought, is there any secret that can't be said about this fire lotus?

"Alas, child, I see that you are pitiful, so let me tell you, this fire lotus is not an ordinary thing, outsiders can't see it at all, let alone get it."

"Old woman, do you know anything? Please tell us. Su Bai shook the old woman's hand.

"Well, I'll tell you, the fire lotus is a scarce thing, it is strictly guarded by the royal family of the Western Regions, and now the fire lotus has not yet opened, and it will not be long before the fire lotus will bloom, I heard that at that time, the royal family of the Western Regions will send more people to protect it!" So, if you want to get the Fire Lotus, it's simply delusional.

He Zihan leaned weakly on the chair behind him, "Hey, what can I do about this, Miss Su Bai, are we out of play?" ”

"You made this suggestion, and I should ask you this sentence." If it weren't for He Zihan's suggestion, saying that the Fire Lotus in the Western Regions was a good thing, they wouldn't have had to come all the way over.

He Zihan smiled and said with a little apology, "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this thing to be so difficult to handle." ”

In fact, He Zihan had only heard about it, and he had never been to the Western Regions, so he didn't know the market.

Cheng Yubai clenched his fists and looked at the old woman, "Old woman, what if we force it?" ”

"Forcibly? Don't be impulsive, kid, those armies aren't fake! The old woman hurriedly persuaded, "If you want to fight against the royal army in the Western Regions, isn't that looking for death!" The three of you can't fight them, you don't have good fruit to eat! ”
