Inside the house, Li Xin'er was still crying sadly, and Wang Yuan had no idea what kind of story had happened between their master and apprentice. Gongsun Lan's words just now also seemed to mean something, and Wang Yuan didn't know what he was referring to.

Li Xin'er lay on the pillow and shrugged her shoulders and cried pear blossoms with rain, her hair was full of green silk fluttering everywhere, Wang Yuan stood in front of the bed and didn't know how to comfort her, and only after a while did she open her mouth to persuade: "Twelve Niang, don't cry, although I don't know what happened between your master and apprentice, but the matter has come to this, it's better to take care of yourself." ”

Li Xin'er stopped crying and raised her head, her eyes were red from crying, and she looked pitiful.

"My master, she's gone?"

Wang Yuan nodded and said softly, "Are you hungry?" Would you like to cook some porridge for you? ”

Li Xin'er was silent, Wang Yuan started washing rice and cooking porridge, and put a few cold dough cakes on the stove to bake, Li Xin'er suddenly said: "Second brother Wang, you must have a lot of questions in your heart that you want to ask the slave, if you want to ask, you can ask, the slave knows everything." ”

Wang Yuanyuan didn't raise his head and said: "There is nothing to ask, I am actually not very curious." ”

Li Xin'er sighed lightly and said: "It seems that you are also wary of me, my master must have told you something just now, so that you have some views on slaves, but I want to tell you that my master is angry with me, and some of her words are not credible." ”

Wang Yuan fanned the fire and said: "It seems that Twelve Niang really wants to tell me something, if you want to say it, just say it, it doesn't hurt for me to listen to it, anyway, there is nothing left and right." ”

Li Xin'er looked at Wang Yuan in a daze, sighed for a while and said, "Second Brother Wang, you better find a carriage to send me out of here, just let me stay at the Xunjia Inn, I don't want to trouble you anymore." ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Your master said that you can't move for ten days, otherwise you will be in danger of being paralyzed and paralyzed, that's not a joke." ”

Li Xin'er burst into tears again, and whimpered: "What if I, a person who no one loves and no one loves, is paralyzed? Master doesn't recognize me, and you don't believe in me anymore, my life is boring. ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Okay, you can tell me what is difficult to eliminate between you and your master, maybe I can be a middleman for you to dissipate." ”

Wang Yuan wanted to laugh very much, of course he was very curious about the many things that happened to Li Xin'er, but he had tried before, but Li Xin'er mistakenly thought that he wanted to ask the details, and now he didn't plan to know, but Li Xin'er had to take the initiative to tell himself. What happened in this, Wang Yuan did not know.

However, the words that Gongsun Lan said when she left reminded Wang Yuan that Gongsun Lan would not say such things for no reason, there must be many secrets hidden in Li Xin'er, and these secrets may not be known to him. And Li Xin'er now gives Wang Yuan the feeling that she wants to be captured, and she seems to have some intentions, so Wang Yuan would rather show an indifferent attitude.

Li Xin'er thought for a while and said: "Second brother Wang, the slave was chased and killed by Jin Wuwei the night before, and you later asked me why I was hunted down, but I didn't tell you at the time, not because I didn't believe you, but because this matter is too important, and I don't want to involve you." ”

"I know." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"But now I feel like I should tell you why, because I have a very important matter for my help. If I don't tell you the inside story, it is a distrust of you, I will tell you everything, if you want to help me, I will help, if you don't want to, I don't blame you, after all, the matter is big, if you help me, you will be responsible. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "If this matter is so important, and I can't help you after you tell me, wouldn't it be a leak of your secret?" ”

Li Xin'er shook her head and said: "The slave took the initiative to tell you, you don't have to worry about it, you just hope that the words you hear can be rotten in your stomach, which is also for your safety." If Second Brother Wang really doesn't want to take on the responsibility, I can choose not to say it, but I will leave here immediately, and I must do it, even if I die on the road. ”

Wang Yuan looked at Li Xin'er's eyes, those eyes were full of sincerity, but it was difficult to hide the anxiety in his eyes, Wang Yuan turned his heart and said: "You say, if I am afraid of what to do, I will not save you." But what I said in my head, you say it to me, whether you want to do it or not, I don't want to be threatened, your life is your own, if you insist on not giving up your life, I have no right to interfere with you. ”

Li Xin'er nodded firmly, looked up at the dark and dirty roof for a moment, and said, "Let's tell you about the matter between me and the master first, I think you must also want to know." ”

Wang Yuan smiled but said nothing.

"Ten years ago, I was just an eight-year-old child, living with my father and mother in a big house in Shengpingfang in Dongcheng. My father is an official in the Ministry of Officials, and my mother is the daughter of a rich family in Luoyang, and they love me very much, and I live a very happy life. ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "It turns out that Twelve Niang is from an official lady. ”

Li Xin'er nodded and said: "Yes, it's a pity that the official lady is happy and carefree, but everything is not long-term after all, I remember when I was a child, my father often said that 'the ups and downs of the sea are unpredictable', I was young at that time, and I didn't understand the meaning of it at all, until the night of my eighth birthday, I understood the deep meaning of my father's words." ”

Wang Yuan didn't make a sound, gently added firewood to the stove, straightened up and looked at Li Xin'er waiting for the following.

"That night, my mother ordered a bowl of longevity noodles for me to eat, adding a lot of sauces that I liked, and I was very happy. But before I had finished my bowl of noodles, all of a sudden a large number of sergeants surrounded my house, and they broke down the gate and rushed in. My mother hid me in the gap of the rockery in the yard and told me not to make a sound, I was so scared that I trembled and the whole person was stunned, but I clearly remembered my mother's words, that is, I must not come out. Li Xin'er's voice was low, and her voice sounded like she was in a dream.

"The moon was very round and bright that night, and it was very cold, just like this night, I was huddled in the damp rockery and shivered from the cold, but I could see clearly, many soldiers rushed into my house, I watched my father and mother and the maid of the family being killed by those soldiers, and when the bright blade penetrated my father's body, I was almost stupid."

Wang Yuan's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he automatically depicted the bloody scene Li Xin'er said in his mind, he didn't expect Li Xin'er to experience such a cruel thing in his childhood.

"Twelve Niang, what the hell is going on? Why did your parents suffer so much? ”

Li Xin'er's face was pale, and she said in a low voice: "I don't know if you ask me, I was stupid at the time, and when I realized it, there were dead people in the courtyard and houses, and none of the more than a dozen people in my family were spared." While I was crying over my father's corpse, someone broke in, and they found me, but instead of killing me, they took me to another big mansion and met a man. The man told me not to be afraid, and said that he would protect me, so I stayed in the man's house and became a flower boy. Later, I figured out that my father was framed by a traitor for impeaching a high-ranking traitor in the court, and ordered my whole family to be killed. Since then, I have understood the meaning of my father's phrase that the sea is full of ups and downs. ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said in a low voice: "Twelve Niang, please mourn, fortunately you escaped, I guess the owner of this big mansion went to your house to find you and took you in?" ”

Li Xin'er's eyes rolled with tears, and she nodded with a slight gasp: "Yes, the owner of the big mansion originally wanted to protect my father and inform my father to escape with his family, but he was a step late." One day, he called me and asked me: Do you want to avenge your father's mother? I said, "I think, I hate the great traitor." He told me he could help me, but I had to do what he said. I hated the traitor who killed my father, and I wanted to kill him, so I agreed to his terms. So, the owner of the mansion sent me to a man to learn sword dance, and I met my current master. ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "Gongsun senior? ”

Li Xin'er nodded and said, "Yes, I have been with my master since I was nine years old, do you know who my master is?" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "How would I know? I had never seen your master before last night. ”

Li Xin'er said: "Have you heard of the world's No. 1 sword dancer, Aunt Gongsun?" ”

Wang Yuan's brain boomed, and suddenly since he saw Gongsun Lan last night, a trace of indescribable strange feeling in his heart suddenly poured out, and when he saw Gongsun Lan dancing with a sword last night, he felt as if he had some associations that were difficult to capture, and at this moment, after Li Xin'er said it, he suddenly became enlightened.

"Your master is Aunt Gongsun?"

"Exactly, you didn't expect that. If you have ever seen my master dancing with a sword, I am afraid that you will immediately recognize her, in the minds of my Tang people, my master is the first master of sword dance, maybe there are very few people who know my master, but when you look at her sword dance, I am afraid that everyone knows it. ”

Wang Yuan groaned in a daze: "In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun clan, and a sword weapon moved in all directions. The spectators are depressed like mountains, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time. Huo Huo Ruyi shoots nine sunsets, and is like a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light. ……”

"It's a very well-written poem,...... Did you do it? This seems to describe the picture of my master's sword dance. Li Xin'er was surprised.

Wang Yuan secretly scolded himself for being too stupid, he should have remembered that this person was the Gongsun Auntie in this poem when he saw the amazing sword dance last night, because besides her, who else could have a sword dance as strange and amazing as described in Du Fu's poem?

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "I actually stole the sword dance of the Lingshi last night, but I didn't know that the Lingshi was the legendary Gongsun Auntie. I just learned that I suddenly woke up and said a few words casually to show my respect and not laugh. ”

Li Xin'er looked at Wang Yuan with admiration, and said softly: "I didn't expect that Second Brother Wang is still a person with amazing literary talents, this poem is really good." ”
