Seeing that she was so anxious, Peony hesitated for a moment and ran back to the study, waking up Su Yansheng, Su Yansheng raised her head in a daze, and said, "What's wrong?" Is my dad coming? ”

Peony shook her head and said, "Brother Yansheng, go to the gate and take a look, there is someone making trouble outside!" ”

The study was some distance from the front yard, Su Yansheng looked outside and wondered: "Aren't you in the study, how do you know that someone is making trouble outside?" ”

"I, I was just trying to look for Xiao Tao and saw someone fighting."

"Just fight, what's the matter with me?" Su Yansheng waved her hand impatiently, and was about to lie down to sleep again, but Peony hurriedly grabbed him, "If you don't care about it, you will die!" ”

"Children are making a fuss!" Su Yansheng still refused to care, and Peony looked at him helplessly, so she had to go out and have a look by herself.

She ran all the way to the gate, and came to the small alley that Xiao Tao said, but there was no one there, but there was a bloodstain, spilled obliquely on the gray wall, Peony was stunned in place, she remembered that she and Xiao Tao went down the mountain and returned home, and saw such a diagonal bloodstain, sprinkled on the ground, on the stilts, and the people in the whole village were only the two sisters.

She fell to her knees with a thud, and Xiao Tao walked out from behind her, and Peony turned to look at her and asked, "What's going on here?" ”

Xiao Tao's eyes were red, and there was hatred in her eyes, "There was an old woman who gave me money to buy food, but when I bought it back, I saw that the old woman was tied up by a woman, and the old woman was still holding a dagger in her hand, so I went to ask you for help." ”

Peony stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted, "Maybe it's not the old woman's blood, maybe the old woman has already fled by herself." ”

"Sister, do you believe it?"

Peony was stunned for a moment.

"Do you believe that your mother-in-law escaped by herself?"

Although she was just a stranger she had just met, those warm eyes reminded Xiao Tao of the people in the village in the past, when she was younger, because her father was the owner of the village, the people in the village knew her and spoiled her.

Although Su Lingling was also very good to them, there was always something missing, and Su Lingling's eyes were full of suspicion of her.

"Sister, do you want to stay there?" Xiao Tao suddenly changed the topic, and Peony frowned and looked at her, "Xiao Tao, what do you want to do?" ”

"What do I want to do? I want to avenge my father and mother and the people in the village, don't you know yet, sister?! Xiao Tao asked in a suppressed voice.

Peony bit her lip and sighed, "Little Peach, about revenge, will we wait until we grow up?" What can we do now? ”

Xiao Tao took out the small bottle containing the Heart Devouring Gu, her eyes flashing with excitement, "We have this!" Sister, didn't you say that this Gu is very powerful?! ”

"No way!"

"Why not?" Xiao Tao took two steps back, "I can't wait for a moment!" Sister, do you know that I dream of my dead people every night? I dreamed of Granny Qingyi, Brother Rulan, who were still smiling and calling my name one moment ago, and the next second they were covered in blood and fell in front of me! We changed our name and surname and were brought to the Central Plains, can you forget all this?! ”

Peony looked at Xiao Tao painfully, kept shaking her head and said, "No, I didn't forget!" ”

She also has nightmares every night, dreaming of dead people, but she knows that she can't do anything now, she has to make herself strong enough to avenge her people, that person is very strong, how easy it is to kill them, he must have left them for a reason, and she also wants to find this reason, through this opportunity to take revenge.

"Little Peach, will you go back with me? We will wait until the time is right to take revenge. Peony comforted Xiao Tao softly, the pain in her heart was a lot more than Xiao Tao, because in addition to hate, she blamed herself more for not letting Xiao Tao live happily, she was not a qualified sister.

"What's the use of going there?" Xiao Tao shook off Peony's hand, "How can they understand us?" ”

"Little Peach!" Peony was also a little anxious, "Don't be like this, we are only nine years old, and we have no martial arts, even if we have a Heart Devouring Gu, we have no chance of winning!" ”

"You have to go back, you go back yourself!"

Xiao Tao glared at Peony fiercely, turned around and ran, Peony hurriedly chased after her, but Xiao Tao's foot speed has always been faster than her, and it didn't take long for Xiao Tao to run away and completely disappear from her sight, Peony gasped and looked at the lively crowd on the street, looked around, and suddenly felt very tired and tired.

A bunch of children about her age were singing nursery rhymes, and a windmill ran past her, and Peony walked weakly to the side of the street, found a staircase and sat down, and looked at the passing crowd, and she sighed.

Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of her, Peony raised her head, this person sat down beside her, looked at her and smiled, "Little sister, you are so young, what are you sighing when you sit on the side of the road?" ”

Peony stared at him blankly, and the man turned his head and chuckled, "Is there no one to play with you?" ”

Peony shook her head, "I can't find my sister anymore." ”

"What does your sister look like? I'll help you find it. The people who came were still smiling like a spring breeze.

Peony looked at him stunned, his eyes were exceptionally clear in the sunlight, and she could clearly see her own reflection, such beautiful eyes.

Probably not a bad guy.

Sun Xian touched his face, a little unnatural, this was the first time he had worn a human skin mask, and he had been lying at home for too long, he couldn't stand it, so he came out to take a walk.

Peony looked at him, and suddenly laughed out loud, Sun Xian was inexplicable, could it be that he was seen through? This human skin mask is so useless?

Peony said, "Big brother, thank you." ”

Sun Xian narrowed his eyes, "Thank you for what I did?" I haven't helped you with anything. ”

Peony smiled and shook her head, in fact, she didn't know why, seeing the big brother with a clear smile in front of her, her mood was inexplicably better.

"I'm going to find my sister, big brother, are you from this capital?"

Sun Xian nodded.

"If you see a little girl who looks exactly like me in a pink short gown, please be sure to come to Dongxiang Hou's Mansion to find me, well, don't go through the gate, just write a small note from the backyard and throw it in, I will wait there." Peony paused, then added, "I'm literate." ”

Sun Xian couldn't help but laugh again, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the little girl's head, "Well, I know." ”

Peony smiled sweetly at him and said, "Big brother, what's your name?" ”

Sun Xian thought for a while and said, "My name is Ah Qi, what about you?" ”

"My name is Sudo."

Sun Xian Lin told her a fake name, but she told him her real name.

She just has a good impression of this stranger inexplicably, unlike Su Lingling, she knows that Su Lingling is also a good person, but she can't fully trust her, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't be able to trust anyone anymore.

But the person in front of him is different.

In this way, the two separated, and Sun Xian returned to the house, drew the appearance of the peony, and handed it to Yan Nush, asking him to send someone to find it, but it was only secretly searched, and there was no fanfare.

Sun Xian Lin has been secretly investigating, Yan Nuan went to find the tassel, and the tassel had already told him the reason for the chaos, but when the two went to find the old woman who sold jewelry, there was no one left, and the two searched almost the entire capital but did not find it.

And Sun Xian Lin also sent a letter to his master, wanting to get more information about the red face chaos.

Half a month has passed, Peony has not received Sun Xian's "little note", and Su Lingling has not come back as promised, she stood in front of the desk in the study dejectedly, and studied ink for Su Yansheng, Su Yansheng looked at her absent-mindedness, stretched out her finger and shook it in front of her, and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

Peony came to her senses and said, "Brother Yansheng, can I go out this afternoon?" ”

"My sister said, you can treat the Hou Mansion as your own home and come and go freely, you don't have to tell me if you want to go out." Su Yansheng didn't care about the authenticity, Peony lowered her head and smiled, and pushed the ink in front of Su Yansheng, "Then I'll go out!" ”

"It's not afternoon yet!" Su Yansheng shouted from behind, the peony had already run away, Su Yansheng scratched her ears, and looked at the paper in front of her with her chin propped up, "This girl, what is the monkey anxious?" ”

Peony had already run out into the street, and she came to the place where she had met Sun Xian Lin for the first time, but there were only two beggars sitting there, and Peony walked over, gave them two copper plates, and asked, "Grandpa, have you ever seen a little girl in pink clothes who looks the same as me?" ”

The two beggars leaned over and stared at her for a long time, shook their heads, Peony frowned, and asked, "Then have you ever seen a tall big brother in a green shirt?" ”

The two beggars shook their heads anyway.

Peony walked back in disappointment, there was no whereabouts of Xiao Tao for so long, and Ah Qi had no news.

Could it be that Xiao Tao has already been captured by those people?

As soon as she thought of this, Peony's heart hurt terribly, she squatted down holding her chest, shrunk into a small ball, this is not the first time, Xiao Tao has also disappeared once before, she has been looking for several days and has not found it, her heart hurts.

She felt someone around her, she struggled to stand up, and when she saw the person in front of her, she was relieved for some reason and fainted directly.

When Peony woke up, she had already returned to the Dongxiang Hou Mansion, and Mama Zhao, who was in charge of the kitchen, sat beside her, looking at her with pity on her face.

"Mama, who sent me back?"

"You fell in the backyard, it was found by the housekeeper, you girl, you got angina pectoris at a young age, how can you get it in the future!" Mama Zhao sighed.

Peony lowered her head and looked at her fingers, the fortune teller in the village told her that she was a good person, and she would definitely marry a good family in the future, and she would be happy for a lifetime.

She is like this, how can she still have a relationship with happiness?
