Xu Anping looked at the cardamom girl in front of him, and was very puzzled. He remembered that he had tumbled into a house before he fell unconscious, and he thought that he would definitely die at the hands of the guards, but he didn't expect to open his eyes and see this picture. He opened his mouth, feeling his throat dry and about to burst, unable to say anything.

When the girl saw him like this, she put away her frightened thoughts and asked softly, "Childe, are you thirsty?" The slave will pour water for you. Turning around as he spoke, he walked a few steps to the table next to him, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Xu Anping's lips with shyness.

Xu Anping also felt very disobedient, but after a fierce fight and running last night, now his whole body seems to be falling apart, and there is no place where he does not feel pain, so he can only open his mouth and drink a few sips. Feeling that his throat was a little more comfortable, he hoarsely said in his throat, "Girl, thank you for saving your life." I would venture to ask, how did I end up here? ”

"Childe doesn't need to thank you, don't thank you." The girl hurriedly shook her white fingers, a little overwhelmed. Then he turned to the side slightly, gently stroked the green silk with his hand, and then hung his little head and pinched the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "Childe, the slave family went to the garden last night to look for 'Xiaoxiao', oh, she is a kitten." Seeing you lying in the grass and bleeding all over the ground, I dragged you back. Childe, have you been chased by an enemy? Saying that, she looked at Xu Anping with beautiful eyes, and her big black eyes revealed the curiosity of a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world.

Xu Anping smiled bitterly in his heart, he really didn't want to deceive such a little girl, so he hesitated and said, "Yes! I was chased by the enemy last night, and I ran all the way here, but I couldn't walk because I lost too much blood due to my injury. If it hadn't been for the girl's rescue, I would have died on the spot. He noticed it a little and found that although the wound on his left shoulder was still in severe pain, it had stopped bleeding, but the hidden weapon on his back had not been removed, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really fateful that I can survive!" ”

The girl's eyes widened, she had been living in a safe and familiar environment, and she really couldn't understand the swords and swords outside. It was also the tranquility and tranquility of her previous life that made her have a strong curiosity about what Xu Anping just said. She took a few deep breaths, suppressed her pounding heartbeat slightly, and plucked up the courage to say, "Childe, can you tell the slave family what happened?" Maybe the slave family can help you figure out a way. Seeing Xu Anping turn his face and look at her, she hurriedly added: "If it's inconvenient for the child, forget it." After speaking, he bit his lower lip with his snow-white teeth, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Xu Anping is also the innocence of a helpless girl, looking at her innocent and crystalline eyes, it seems that Yi Lian'er is in front of her, and the softest place in her heart is touched. He suddenly wanted to tell the other party what he had been hiding in his heart, and maybe he would never see each other again. So after hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I originally lived in a small mountain village, my parents died when I was very young, and I was raised by my neighbor's father and aunt. They were very nice to me, like their own sons, who gave me the best to eat every day. Every day, they get up early and work greedily to take care of a few acres of thin fields, and the harvest is not much, and they are deducted grain by the landlord when they borrow cattle to plough the land. Once I caught two pheasants in the mountains, and my father wanted to sell them for some salt, but the landlord beat them up and bleed a lot. He was afraid that I would not be able to hold back my anger, and would rather endure the pain myself. Later, when I grew up, I didn't want them to work so hard, so I went out to work on my own to make money, and I wanted to save money to buy them a cow. But one day, because I offended someone outside, my father was killed. At that time, I felt that the sky was about to fall, and my aunt seemed to be drained overnight, and her spirit was much older. From that day on, I vowed to avenge Daddy and find the murderer! Speaking of emotion, his eyes were a little moist and his nose was a little sour. He remembered Daddy Yu's honest appearance and Aunt Yu's hard-mouthed and soft-hearted appearance.

The girl's eyes were already full of tears at this time, and they would slide down her white cheeks at any time. She has lived in a big family since she was a child, and she doesn't worry about food or clothing, although she is sometimes bullied by her brother and servants in the family on weekdays, but where have she ever heard such a tragic thing. He turned his face and wiped his tears with a silk handkerchief, took two breaths, calmed down a little, and said, "Childe, those people are so bad, they killed Dad!" You should be careful not to be discovered by them. ”

Xu Anping nodded slightly and said, "Well, I'll pay attention." If you are not sure in the future, you will not directly seek revenge from them. ”

The girl smiled shyly, two small dimples appearing on her cheeks. Then she suddenly remembered something, walked to the side, and then carefully brought a bowl of porridge, which was still steaming. "Childe, you should be hungry, come and drink some porridge. Only when you take care of your body can you avenge your father in the future. She scooped a little rice porridge with a small wooden spoon and handed it to Xu Anping's mouth, and when she saw him drink it, she continued: "Childe, don't you know, the slave family was almost scared to death when they saw you lying in the grass last night." The slave family just wanted to run to call Daddy and Auntie to come over, and then they heard the names of the two people in your mouth, so they dragged you into the room. It's a good thing that my father didn't know about it, otherwise he would definitely not let you stay in the mansion, and he would definitely send you to the Yamen of Jinling Mansion, which would be troublesome. If it is discovered by Childe's enemies, it will not be good. ”

Listening to the girl's babbling words, Xu Anping's heart was at peace, as if he was chatting with his family, without any defense.

"Girl, you see I've soiled your boudoir, how is that good?"

The girl shook the small wooden spoon in her hand and said with a smile: "If it's not in the way, the slave family can clean it by itself." Usually, the slave family washes their own clothes, and they also wash their clothes for A-Niang when they have something. ”

Xu Anping looked at the girl's dress, and when she spoke, she had some doubts in her heart. This is obviously the daughter of a big family, how can she wash her own clothes? However, he didn't ask too much, after all, the affairs of the big family are the most complicated, and he is not prepared to have any contact with the girl in the future. So he said apologetically, "Oh, that's going to trouble the girl." If the girl needs any help, just say it bluntly. ”

"No, no, no, the slave family has nothing to help with." The girl smiled smartly, looking innocent and shy and carefree.
