Bai Yetong hurried overnight, tired and tired at this time, Bai Xue also kept panting, the two went all the way down Jiangling, passed through Chongqing Mansion, entered Jianmen Pass, crossed the dangerous Shu Road, and were tired and sore. Hearing the pedestrians on the road talking about today is the day of the opening of the incense in Longju Temple, many dignitaries and nobles went to worship the Buddha and tell the hexagram, and suddenly Bai Yetong became a thief.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, I looked up and saw the faint mist of the early morning in the deep mountains, and the mountain wind blew the cold aroma of leaves. In the secluded mountains, a temple with red tiles and white walls stands tall, like a pearl dotted in the verdant mountains.

The mountain road was covered with stone steps, and the white night boy was lazily hanging on Bai Xue, unwilling to move, and poor Bai Xue breathed a heavy snort and stepped towards the mountain.

"It's raining." Suddenly, feeling something cool fall on her face, Miss Wen looked up at the sky. The twilight clouds are combined, the smoke and rain are misty, and a faint mist rises on the lake below the mountain, like a dream. When the first drop of rain fell on her face, her heart shook violently, as if an invisible hand had plucked the invisible string in her heart.

"Miss, let's go quickly, it will rain heavily in a while." Feng'er urged.

Wen Hanyan nodded, sped up and walked down the mountain.

When the rain was about to fall, the mountain air was particularly humid, and Bai Yetong sat leisurely on the snow with a small grass in his mouth.

Looking up, the two women went down the mountain together, seeing that they were not dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and suddenly Bai Yetong sat down and patted Bai Xue's face gently.

Since ancient times, thieves and their entourage have also had a division of labor, some are responsible for looking at the wind, some are responsible for selling stolen goods, some are responsible for stepping on points, and some are responsible for building bridges to attract attention, and the accomplice of the thief is his crotch horse.

"Miss, walk carefully." Feng'er saw Bai Yetong riding a white horse uphill, and hurriedly pulled Wen Hanyan beside her.

Wen Hanyan's eyebrows were lowered, and through the rain as thin as a cow's hair, on the steps like jade, she saw the back of a man. The man was also looking up at the road in front of him, looking in the direction at the end of the jade steps. Looking from the stairs, I only saw that the other party was dressed in white and black hair, and the horses under the seat were full of energy, and their white hair was like silk in the early morning.

The man wore a silver silk tie in his long hair, and the whole person seemed cold and silent.

However, when the young man walked in front of Wen Hanyan, he smiled slightly, and the smile was full of deep meaning.

How can there be such a smile?

Before Wen Hanyan could understand, the snow-white horse suddenly bit the corner of her skirt and pulled it hard, almost pulling Wen Hanyan down.

Bai Yetong's eyes were quick, he dismounted, hugged Wen Hanyan and turned around twice in a row, and held her up.

Wen Hanyan was still in a panic, and suddenly found herself in the arms of that person, and her face was immediately red and ashamed.

However, Feng'er was savage, and pulled the two apart, and shouted angrily at Bai Yetong in a short temper, "What are you doing!" Who allowed you to hold my young lady? ”

Bai Yetong frowned, what a powerful woman, the rumors of a spicy personality in Shuzhong seem to be true.

"Feng'er, this son also saw that I was about to fall, so he kindly helped me, don't be rude." Wen Hanyan frowned and waved her hand to interrupt Feng'er, who wanted to continue arguing.

At this time, Bai Yetong had the opportunity to take a good look at the woman in front of him.

The woman is Shaoling, with bright eyes and bright teeth, she understands that the silk and satin are spotless, her long black hair is curled in the jade crown, her long skirt moves with the wind, her demeanor is quiet and calm, there is a deserted forest wind, and she knows that her background is extraordinary.

The woman looked at him, her eyes rolling, and she could see his face clearly. However, at the age of more than 20, he has a very clear face, the eyebrow bones are very straight, the bridge of the nose is very straight, the lines of the face are neat and clean, although the face is a little tired, but the pair of Danfeng eyes have a fascinating aura.

"Miss, are you alright?" Feng'er patted Wen Hanyan inappropriately.

Wen Hanyan was stunned, and said calmly, "It's okay, I was just frightened just now, let's go, thank you Gongzi for coming to the rescue." ”

The two of them saluted and slowly walked down the mountain.

After Bai Yetong saw the two of them walking away, he turned over on the horse, flipped his palm, and an object wrapped in white forging appeared in the palm of his hand, which was what he stole from Wen Hanyan's pocket when he hugged her just now.

He opened it at will, only to see a hosta with excellent carving was lying in the white forging, and the hosta hairpin was decorated with a phoenix inlaid with gold and jade.

Strange, why do you wrap the hairpin like this, although it looks very valuable, but shouldn't it be worn on the head?

Bai Yetong shrugged his shoulders, wrapped one hand in one hand, and took the hosta into his arms......

Bai Yetong stood in front of the pawnshop, and Xiao Er asked with a smile, "This master, there are a total of one hundred taels of silver here, do you have anything else to pawn?" ”

At this time, twilight was approaching, Bai Yetong took the day's harvest down the mountain to pawn, and when he heard Xiao Er's question, he hesitantly took out the hosta in his arms, "How much do you think this hairpin can be?" ”

The little two saw the extraordinariness of this hairpin at a glance, and hurriedly invited the shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper carefully took the hosta and said in amazement, "Isn't this an amphibious golden phoenix hairpin?" It is said that there are only two hairpins in the world, and one of them ......"

"Okay, I'm not here to ask you about the origin of this hairpin, I'll ask you how much it is." Bai Yetong said impatiently.

The shopkeeper's face was solemn, and he looked at the hairpin in his hand, "Dare to ask this guest officer, are you dead or alive?" ”

"How much does it cost to die?"

"One thousand taels of silver!"

"Is it worth that much?" Bai Yetong exclaimed. (One tael of silver in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to nearly 924-1848 yuan, which is not necessarily accurate according to ancient records.) ）

The shopkeeper shook his head, "This hosta is precious in its meaning and its preciousness, one thousand taels is not much." ”

Bai Yetong looked like he had picked up the treasure, "That's good, I'll die." (Death is also known as absolute, which refers to the behavior of the pawn neither redeeming nor renewing the pawn from the shop.) At this time, the pawn rights and obligations between the pawn parties are completely lifted, and the pawned items no longer belong to the pawnbroker, but to the shop. ）

The shopkeeper smiled and took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and silently accepted the hosta. (Jiaozi appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty and first circulated in Sichuan, because the Song Dynasty had rapid social and economic development at that time, and industry and commerce were also unprecedentedly developed, so the demand for money was also unprecedentedly huge, and the production and import of silver were not high, so there were more substitutes.) ）

Walking out of the pawnshop door, Bai Yetong always felt uneasy in his heart, this was the first time he felt the unease of stealing, just like the feeling of stealing for the first time.

Why? Is it because the woman seems to attach great importance to this hosta?

Bai Yetong shook his head and said to himself, "She looks like a beautiful girl, and she won't be sad for this hosta." ”

The night is low, it rains for half a day, the sky is clear, the ground is still wet, Bai Yetong copied a pot of daughter red, riding white snow to prepare to go back to Longju Temple to rest, he is still wanted, although this place is relatively remote, but the accommodation inn is too ostentatious.

Holding the wine jug and drinking wildly, he suddenly felt that Bai Xue stopped, Bai Yetong put down the wine jug, and looked up at midnight, the moonlight was clear, and the sky was full of stars.

As if galloping, the sound of horses' hooves from far to near shattered the silence of the night. A crimson horse stood in front of Bai Yetong, and a woman on the seat was holding a Qingfeng long sword in a heroic manner.

Her brows were thick and black, reminding him of the grass barren in the wilderness;

Her eyes were clear and unrestrained, reminding him of the stars shining in the sky.

Her neck was white and clear in the moonlight, and suddenly it seemed like a kind of pity that came to her heart;

The woman...... It's like a rose that has woken up a legend.

However, it was such a woman, her eyes were full of murderous aura, and she raised her sword scabbard and pointed at Bai Yetong and said, "You are Bai Yetong?" ”
