Yun Xiu smiled: "It hurt a little just now, but now it's fine." “

Ling Xiao knew that she was lying, but her tepid attitude towards this kind of needle pricking could not penetrate the water, and her tepid attitude was annoying, and at the same time, there was a sense of frustration about gains and losses.

He is the eldest in the family, the above two elder brothers, one died young, the other died on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, the only one is a lone seedling in the family, from childhood to adulthood, only he doesn't want it, rarely can't get it, even go to the battlefield or rely on hunger strikes in exchange for the opportunity.

The three words "Zhongyi Hou" cannot be empty, and the bloody womb of the Ling family cannot insult the trust of the emperor.

The emperor is a few years older than him, and when he is a brother with a different surname, he keeps him for delicious and fun, not to mention the girl, but when it comes to feelings, he is really unhappy when he is said no to the girl in the photo for the first time.

Ling Xiao thinks that among the princes and nobles, he is not the kind of gentleman who pounces if he likes it.

gives Yun Xiu a patience that ordinary people can't compare, why don't you eat soft and hard?

He stared at her slender silhouette. Thoughtfully.

Yun Xiu felt his gaze, his sideways eyes twisted, Ling Xiao had already retracted his gaze, and reclined himself in the couch chair to pretend to sleep.

She thought for a moment, pulled out the thin blanket in the car and gently covered his lap, and then sat back in her place.

Ling Xiao didn't move, and he didn't know if he was really asleep and pretended to be asleep.

Yun Xiu turned sideways slightly, rubbed her chin, frowned in pain, Zhongyi Hou was very heavy, but she didn't dare to move at the moment, for fear of further angering the other party.

Now no one is paying attention. She rubbed the warm teacup back and forth in her chin, trying to get better quickly.

But the method seems to be wrong.

"Girl, why is your chin blue?" When she got out of the car, Chun Tao touched the place near the corner of her mouth in surprise, "Does it hurt?" “

Yun Xiu couldn't explain it, and said with a smile: "I accidentally hit it when I got out of the car just now, don't make a fuss." “

As he spoke, he secretly glanced in the direction of Zhongyi Hou, but fortunately he was talking to his entourage.

Yun Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next itinerary was much simpler, Yun Xiu took Chun Tao to live in a meditation room, Ling Xiao lived in the upper room, and two other catchers dressed up as entourage. Eat and live with the subordinates of Zhongyi Hou.

When Chun Tao cleaned up the room, she asked them how many days they would stay.

"It shouldn't be long." Yun Xiu didn't have the bottom, "Let's stay and see." “

If you look at it again, you can't see the fame, it's really useless, and you may not really marry back to your hometown, but whether Ding Meisheng will hold the handle, it's hard to say whether the new hatred and old hatred will be counted together.

The next day, the bruises did not disappear, and Yun Xiu asked the spring peach to be covered with more fat powder, and the fragrance was also strong.

She doesn't like heavy makeup and sultry fragrance, but she is in a hurry to find the child with eye disease, so she can only make do.

"Mother, you are so fragrant today." When she found the child, he was greeted by a smile.

Just as pilgrims were coming, Yun Xiu hurriedly corrected: "I'm not your mother, you can call me Xiuxiu." “

"Xiuxiu?" The child tilted his head to look at her for a moment, grabbed her hand, and grinned, "Do you have sugar?" We haven't eaten enough. “

Yun Xiu squatted down and looked at the child at eye level: "I didn't bring sugar, Ming'er will take you down the mountain to buy cakes, sesame, mung beans, red beans, brown sugar, which one do you like?" “

The child smiled, "I like them all." “

"And what's your name?" Yun Xiu found that this child was not afraid of birth, "We have met before, and we don't know your name yet." “

"My name is Little Benefactor," the child casually pointed to a passing monk, "and they all call me that." “

"The little benefactor is not a name." Yun Xiu laughed, "What is your original name?" “

"Huh?? I don't remember. The child's index finger poked the pigtail on his head, "The master said that I was sick once, and I forgot a lot of things." “

"That's right," Yun Xiu suddenly felt pitiful for him, "Why don't I call you rice cakes, look forward to the good times when you are old, and sincerely wish for wealth." “

The rice cake didn't understand the last two sentences, but guessed that it was auspicious words, and learned that the monks in the temple saluted to Yun Xiu, and simply learned the tone of the adult: "Thank you Xiuxiu donor." “

"Why are you ghostly," Yun Xiu was amused by him, and swept away the gloom in his heart, "Why don't you wait for me here, I'll go get the money, and now I'll take you down the mountain to buy snacks, go?" “

"Go." Rice cake touched the stool under the corridor, turned around and sat down, and urged Yunxiu again, "I'll wait here for you and don't go anywhere." “

In Yun Xiu's opinion, the rice cake is like a puppy that still believes in people after eating a hundred meals, she walked forward for a while and looked back at it uneasily, the rice cake sat in place, and her two small thin legs shook back and forth.

"Where are you going?" Coincidentally, on the way back, I met Marquis Zhongyi.

Yun Xiu Fuli: "Go back to the room to get the money, and take the child down the mountain to buy some food." “

Ling Xiao nodded his chin, "No, I have, I'll accompany you down the mountain, let's go." “

Yun Xiu couldn't shirk it, so he gave way and asked Zhongyi Hou to walk in front and follow behind.

The rice cake waited for them to get closer before they recognized it, jumped off the ground, ran to Yun Xiu's side and raised his head and said, "Xiuxiu, you are so fast, have you taken the money?" “

Yun Xiu said that he had taken it, and the rice cake looked at Ling Xiao on the side again, and just wanted to speak, but was pulled back.

She squatted down and taught him: "Rice cake, this is the Hou Ye, you can't scream indiscriminately, you have to greet the Hou Ye like you just saluted me, otherwise you will be beaten by the board." “

I didn't understand the rice cake else, I understood the board, and hurriedly stood up straight, and saluted in a proper manner: "Master Hou is good." “

Ling Xiao didn't bother with the child, turned his head and asked Yun Xiu, "What's his name?" Rice cake? “

"Master Hou, it's Xiuxiu's name." The rice cake was like a happy event, and he interjected, "You still say that you are looking forward to the year, looking forward to it, huh??"

He scratched his head and thought for a while, then turned his head and whispered, "Xiuxiu." “

Yun Xiu recounted: "I look forward to the good times when I am old, and I sincerely wish for the arrival of wealth." “

The rice cake was embarrassed to bow his head and pull the corners of his clothes: "It's so long, I can't remember." “

"Just remember the rice cakes," Yun Xiu said in a light and delicate tone, as if coaxing a child, "and someone will ask you what your name is in the future." You tell him, nicknamed rice cake. “

She lowered her head, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, the corners of her mouth curved beautifully, and the beads on her bun moved in the mountain wind, and she was quiet and safe in the green forest paths.

People's hearts are warm, and Ling Xiao is no exception.

He has seen her pungentness, he has seen her gentleness, he has seen her sharp teeth, he has also seen her playful and bad, and she lives more real than the girls he has met in Yanjing.

"Xiuxiu," Ling Xiao guessed that it was her name, he grabbed his slender wrist and stood still, "Listen to me." “

Yun Xiu was stunned, clenched the little hand of the rice cake, and didn't dare to look back.

Ling Xiao took a step forward and narrowed the distance between the two: "As long as you are willing, I will tell Yun Yushi that taking you to Yanjing is not light, even if you only go to the Dingguo Mansion to live for a while, I want to see you every day." “

And then what?

Yun Xiu looked back at him without being shocked, she hadn't heard love words, "Master Hou, even if my father agrees, my grandmother will never let me go." If I leave, it is tantamount to forcing her old man to death, my grandmother raised me and raised me, and I can't become a sinner of the Yun family. “

It's not an excuse, it's the truth.

Ling Xiao understood her difficulties, but what she didn't understand was: "If the old lady agrees, will you go?" Or hide from me? “

This is the same question as the question and answer should not be answered.

Yun Xiu lowered his eyes for a moment, looked at Ling Xiao, and considered word by word: "Hou Ye is an eagle in the sky, and the little girl is a house finch under the eaves, even if she flies desperately." I can't fly thousands of miles into the sky to see the blue waves and grasslands, and the snow outside the plug, just for the safety and prosperity of the family year after year. “

She didn't want to.

Ling Xiao was disappointed, let go of his hand, "Let's go, it's too late, the hawkers under the mountain have closed their stalls." “

After that, the two didn't say anything all the way.

The rice cake is not easy to use, but he is very keen to feel the change in the atmosphere, and he raised his little face worriedly: "Xiuxiu, if you don't buy it today, let's go back." “

Yun Xiu lowered his head and said that it was okay: "It's almost there." “

Most of the vendors under the mountain know the rice cakes, the rice cakes have a sweet mouth, like a little monk turning into a fate, smell the delicious food and run to the stall, first call the donor, and then turn to shout Xiuxiu.

Yun Xiu relied on him, and Ling Xiao paid silently in the back.

There was an enthusiastic lady who thought that the little couple had come to ask for a son, looked at Yun Xiu, and then looked at Ling Xiao, and boasted: "My uncle's little daughter-in-law is so handsome, that is, she is thinner, and she will definitely be able to have more sons if she is fatter." “

These words didn't make Ling Xiao very happy, he paid the money and left with a calm face.

While eating the rice cake, he asked in a low voice, "Xiuxiu." Are you a little daughter-in-law? “

"No, don't ask if the child doesn't understand." Yun Xiu pinched his hand and asked him to eat quickly, "Eat without saying anything." “

The rice cake snorted, bowed his head and ate one piece after another, and then took another piece.

"Looking at the skinny monkey spirit, it's quite edible." When he walked back, this was a sentence that Ling Xiao took the initiative to say, and after that, no matter what Yun Xiu said to him, he would either ignore it or make a perfunctory sound.

Yun Xiu didn't want to be bored, so he simply tested the rice cake and asked him, "Are you familiar with the vendor?" “

The rice cake was obedient, and after chewing the mouth of the mouth, he said, "They all know me." “

"Also because other pilgrims often take you down the mountain to buy things?" Yun Xiu then asked.

"Not often." The rice cake rubbed the dim sum residue on his hands, "Sometimes the little monk goes down the mountain, and I follow." “

Yun Xiu asked again: "Who is the little monk?" “

"A little monk is a little monk." Rice cake stretched out his arm and gestured in the air, "It's that high." “

Yun Xiu let out a long tail sound, and said step by step: "In addition to the vendors and the little monk, do you know anyone else nearby?" “

"And Daddy." Rice cake blurted out, "But he didn't seem to come today, I didn't hear him call me." “

"Do you recognize people mainly by your voice?" Yun Xiu then asked.

"It can also rely on the fragrance." The little face of the rice cake raised a smug smile, "The master also praised me for my nose." “

Yun Xiu followed: "Then you are very powerful." “

Pulling the topic back again: "What does your dad do?" Do you come every day? “

Rice cake replied: "The little monk said that he was a porter, and his father was the best, so he always gave me candy to eat." “

Yun Xiu's intuition is playful: "If you recognize it, it is the person who plays hide and seek with you, can you recognize it?" “

"How do you know someone is playing hide and seek with me?" Rice cake raised her head in surprise, "Who told you that?" “

Yun Xiu coaxed him: "I guess, because I also like hide and seek, can you take me with you next time you play?" I can bring the good food from the city. “

"But??" Rice cake pursed her lips, hesitated for a while in embarrassment, and hooked her fingers, "Xiuxiu, you stick your ears over." “

Yun Xiu crouched down and approached.

The rice cake approached and said in an angry voice: "Daddy won't let me say it, I'll just tell you, you must not tell others." “

Yun Xiu was slightly stunned, turned his head and said, "I promise not to say it." “

Then he asked, "Why didn't Daddy let you say it?" “

"I don't know." Rice cake shook his head, "He doesn't like to talk." “

"Have you ever told anyone about that?" Yun Xiu asked.

Rice cake continued to shake his head: "No. “

Yun Xiu teased him: "You tell me, aren't you afraid that I will tell others behind my back?" “

"You don't want to say it." Rice cake showed a simple smile, "I believe you." “

At this point, Yun Xiu basically has a number.

But for the unconditional trust of the child, her heart warmed: "Rice cake, cure your eyes, do you want to go to school in the city?" “

At the age of four or five, it is just the time for enlightenment.

"Yes," Rice Cake nodded vigorously, "but the master said that my eyes will be healed for a long time." “

Yun Xiu laughed: "Leave this matter to me, I'll go and talk to the master." “

The sun is in the west, the sun is warm, the gold is shining on her, and the lotus dark lines on the moon-white satin skirt are like water light, reflecting the pearl-like brilliance, no longer too plain.

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, he probably knew what it was like to be a person with "Xinyue".

Not just beauty, but something else??

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye?" Yun Xiu entered the temple and handed the child over to the passing monks, and turned his head to call Ling Xiao twice.

Ling Xiao came back to his senses, obviously hoping that the other party would take the initiative to please Yan Yuese, but he said indifferently on his face, and he didn't even bother to give it a straight look.

Yun Xiu is not a roundworm in his stomach, just looking at the surface, he can understand, not to mention Hou Ye, even if the son of a big family in Yangzhou is repeatedly rejected, he will be angry, but now he has to bite the bullet and say: "The words of the child, Hou Ye heard it." “

Ling Xiao still snorted.

Yun Xiu just didn't understand, put a hot face on her cold buttocks, and then said: "The little girl is foolish and wants to discuss with Hou Ye." “

"Say."

"In the past two days, I will accompany the rice cake more, and the Hou Ye does not have to show up, so as not to startle the snake, so as not to startle the snake, and ask the two catchers to follow secretly," Yun Xiu said unhurriedly, "It is estimated that the murderer will still be looking for a child, the rice cake is familiar with me, let him take me, and the yamen can wait for the opportunity to arrest people." “

She thought that Ling Xiao would agree immediately, after all, the case was solved, and the two parted ways, so there was no need to block each other.

Ling Xiao stopped with his hands in his hands, and said condescendingly with humble eyes: "Do you know if the murderer is a person or a gang?" “

This asked Yun Xiu, and she shook her head blankly.

Ling Xiao asked again: "Even if one person is caught, what should that person do if he covers up his accomplices?" “

"The little girl has seen it." Yun Xiu lowered his head and pursed his lips.

"In addition," Ling Xiao pointed in the direction of the temple's main hall, "How many times have you been to chant sutras from yesterday to today?" Words are chiseled to show filial piety, don't just stay on the lips. “

These words are embarrassing, people live with a face, and the girl's skin is thinner, even if Yun Xiu doesn't care in her heart, everything she does is just out of upbringing, but she can be debunked like a thorn by someone, and her face is a little unbearable, but she can't say that she is fighting for breath.

Ling Xiao saw that her expression had changed, and her heart was much more comfortable.

"Master Xie reminded, the little girl will go." With a flick of his fingers, Yun Xiu let go of his frowning brows, returned to his usual expression, and turned around and walked towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall dedicated to Guanyin.

She is not chanting prayers, but praying for atonement.

When I returned to the meditation room, after dinner, Chun Tao prepared a few vegetarian buns.

"Girl, where have you been, so late?" While she was concerned, she took out a bottle of medicinal wine from the house, "This is sent by Master Hou's subordinates, saying that the bruises on the girl's face are not good-looking, and she rubs it before going to bed, and it is good quickly." “

"This was sent by the Marquis of Zhongyi?" Yun Xiu was very puzzled, the two of them got along for a day, except for the unhappiness, they didn't hear him mention half of it.

Chun Tao didn't know what to say: "Yes, it was sent by Master Hou." “

Yun Xiu sighed, washed his face and changed his clothes, sat down and ate the buns, and didn't mention this stubble.

Chun Tao understood her temper and asked tentatively, "Girl." If you don't want it, the slave will return it. “

"Forget it, you can rub the medicine for me before going to bed in a while." Yun Xiu said what she had to say, she couldn't do it absolutely, after all, the case was not solved, and she had to live in Daming Temple for a few days.

The effect of the medicinal wine is good, and the bruise on the chin the next day is only a faint mark, and a thin layer of fat powder cannot be seen.

"Still looking for that kid today?" Chun Tao asked as she combed her hair.

"Go." Yun Xiu touched the inserted hairpin, turned his head and said, "You are still waiting for me in the house." “

She didn't bring spring peaches, because she didn't want to be too big.

Daming Temple is full of people every day, not only pilgrims. There are also many monks, as long as you don't run to the back mountain, the temple is very safe.

Yun Xiu looked for two laps today, that is, he didn't see the rice cake or Zhongyi Hou.

She was a little tired from walking, and rested against the railing.

"Master Hou, it's almost noon, do you want to invite the eighth girl to have dinner together?" Daming Temple knew the identity of the Marquis of Zhongyi, and specially ordered the chef to make a few vegetarian dishes to receive the guests, and when the entourage brought it in, Ling Xiao was sitting by the window, staring outside in a daze.

This is the upper room of the temple, which is located on the third floor of the prayer building. Warm in winter and cool in summer, the scenery is good, looking into the distance, the whole Daming Temple and the mid-mountain are in full view.

And the little figure with the green spring clothes on the side of the railing naturally couldn't escape Ling Xiao's field of vision.

"No, you don't." He looked at it for a moment, withdrew his gaze, and waved his hand to signal his entourage to go out.

The vegetarian dishes in the upper room are incomparable to the general Zen room, regardless of the knife work, heat, taste, color, fragrance and flavor, and can burn the cabbage to the taste of braised pork.

Ling Xiao eats a lot of good things in the capital, he doesn't owe a good meal, and what he lacks is the people who are satisfied with the meal.

It's just a little girl, it's much easier than cutting the enemy's head.

He thought about it for a long time, and then left Yangzhou like this, unwillingly.

Yun Xiu probably went back to eat, and when Ling Xiao looked out the window, there was no one on the railing.

Tsk, salty radish light worry.

Ling Xiao picked up the chopsticks and swept a table of dishes.

Eat and drink enough, squint and take a nap, and wake up with a much clearer mind.

Dare to say no?

There is always a price.

In less than half an hour, he called his entourage: "Eight hundred miles will be sent to Qi Yuheng of the Metropolitan Procuratorate urgently, and it will be sent today." “

The retinue thought it was important to take the letter and set off quickly.

Closing the door, the corners of Ling Xiao's sinking mouth finally had a smile.

Anyway, at the end of the month, there is still time.

For the next two days, no one was found.

Yun Xiu and the rice cake are familiar with each other, Ling Xiao can often see two figures, one big and one small, walking together, I don't know what to say, the little guy seems to be very happy, jumping and dancing.

"It's going to rain tomorrow." Rice cakes sniffed at the air.

Yun Xiu smiled and asked him, "How do you know?" “

The rice cake replied naturally: "There is a wet smell, can't Xiuxiu smell it?" “

"I can't smell it." Yun Xiu asked again, "Where did you go the day before yesterday?" I looked for you for a day, but I didn't find it. “

"I said, can Xiuxiu keep it a secret?" Rice cakes are torn between saying and not saying for a while. "Or I tell a secret, you say a secret, exchange."

Eccentric, Yun Xiu laughed: "Let me say first, that Hou Ye is a big man, and he will take a boat back to Yanjing in a while." “

Rice cake opened his mouth wide in surprise, and his two arms made a circle gesture: "Go to Yanjing, is it that kind of big boat?" “

Yun Xiu was amused by him: "Yes, after I finish, it's your turn." “

"My secrets can't be compared to yours." Rice cake's smile dimmed, "Daddy said he was leaving." We won't see each other anymore. “

"Daddy is leaving?" Yun Xiu became alert, "Is it someone from the bottom of the mountain?" “

Rice cake nodded: "Yes, you asked me last time." “

Yun Xiu recalled: "Porter? “

Rice cake nodded again: "Hmm." “

"Why did he go?" Yun Xiu tried to stay calm as much as possible and asked, "Did I come to see you before leaving?" “

"I don't know." Rice cake shakes its head.

"Since Daddy is leaving, have you thought about what to give?" Yun Xiu pulled the child to his meditation room, and at the same time sped up his pace, "I didn't bring any money, you accompany me to withdraw the money and buy some things he likes, as a thought." “

The rice cake said yes and let her lead it.

Chun Tao had never seen rice cakes, so she sighed, "Girl, who is this child, why did you bring it back?" “

Yun Xiu didn't have time to explain, poured a cup of tea for the child, took two small snacks, pulled Chun Tao aside, and said in a low voice: "You hurry up to find Hou Ye now, if you want to catch me quickly, you may find the murderer." “

Chun Tao was stunned, her eyes widened, and she just wanted to speak, but her mouth was covered.

"Don't make a sound," Yun Xiu made a silent gesture, "I'll take the children down the mountain later, you ask them to move faster." “

"Girl, it's just you, how dangerous it is," Chun Tao said in an angry voice, "In case something happens, Mother Fang will have to pick the skin of the slave!" “

Yun Xiu patted her: "In case the murderer escapes, you and I will not have a good time going back." “

"But??"

"Rice cakes, let's go." Yun Xiu didn't give her a chance to speak again, turned around and took the child away.

"Girl!" When Chun Tao chased out, it attracted a group of side eyes.

She was worried that she had ruined the plan of the eighth girl recklessly, so she turned around and immediately went to find Zhongyi Hou.

Ling Xiao saw that Chun Tao was in a hurry to report, and without waiting for the words to finish, he called two capable entourages to quickly find Yun Xiu and secretly protect him.

He took off his smock again, revealing his arrow-sleeved tunic underneath, and followed him with his sword.

At the other end, Yun Xiu led the child down the mountain through the shortcut.

Rice cake said that this path was told to him by the porter, and some pilgrims thought that the main gate was far down the mountain, so they would give him two copper plates and ask him to lead the way.

The road is not as smooth as the road, but it does save a lot of time.

The two went down the mountain, and the rice cake asked Yun Xiu for some money, bought a food package, and ran away alone.

Yun Xiu sat on the empty chair of the tea shop on the side of the road, and after waiting for a cup of tea, the rice cake ran back again.

He smiled at her: "Xiuxiu, Daddy said he wanted to thank you." “

The porter wants to see her?

Yun Xiu's heart is not steady.

If it's really the murderer??

She decided to take a gamble: "Where are the others?" “

The rice cake took her hand and drilled into the woods.
