In the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, the surrounding air is damp.

Bu Shitao held an oil-paper umbrella and strolled through the streets without hurrying. The hawkers were constantly shouting, and the freshly baked buns were steaming white, and the surrounding environment was becoming more and more hazy. She didn't stop, and turned into an inconspicuous ready-to-wear shop on the corner.

The shopkeeper is an elderly man, with a rickety figure and a little ugly, but his ability to make clothes is one of the best in Jiangnan. What kind of color and style can be changed into his hands. The ladies and ladies of Bujiazhuang love to come to this small shop to make clothes.

Today's step Shitao came to take the yellow and green background dark pattern engraved silk hundred butterflies ordered by her mother here a month ago, wearing a patterned satin skirt. The shopkeeper runs the shop alone, has no wife and children, and does not spend money to hire a man, so he loves to do things alone, when it is closed in recent years, the business of the shop is also booming, Mrs. Bu's clothes have long been ready, he has not had time to let the slaves of the family village come to fetch, but the eldest lady came first.

Bu Shitao accepted the wet oil-paper umbrella, and the raindrops flowed down the skeleton of the umbrella and hit the ground little by little, making a slight soft sound.

"Master Tang, are my mother's clothes ready?"

The shopkeeper's surname is Tang, he nodded, took it out of the wooden cabinet at the back of the shop and placed it in front of Bu Shitao. The color of the clothes is warm, the fabric is silky, and the gold and silver threads are intertwined and intertwined, which is eye-catching.

Bu Shitao thanked Master Tang with satisfaction, and the sound of horses' hooves outside the store came vaguely from the street, it was the carriage of Bujiazhuang.

She said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and when she went out, she saw the carriage that had just stopped, and got into the carriage leisurely, and listened to the whip fall on the horse's back, and the wheels of the carriage gradually moved.

It was the fourteenth year of Bu Shitao, and the eldest lady of Bujiazhuang was knowledgeable, gentle and lovely.

Reminiscing about the past a long, long time later, Bu Shitao always inevitably remembered the quiet time before the storm.

Back at the villa, Mrs. Bu hugged Bu Shitao affectionately, with the taste of Wu Nong, a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, and asked carefully what she had done today.

Bu Shitao is a pearl that has been held in the palm of her hand by her father and mother since she was a child, and she is really afraid of breaking it in her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth.

The owner of the step village is a fiery temper, but he is obedient to his wife and daughter, and after marrying Mrs. Bu, he has never accepted anyone, and the family is harmonious and beautiful, and he envies others.

That day, Bu Shitao brought back the yellow and green background dark pattern engraved silk hundred butterflies wearing a patterned satin skirt, and her mother was surprised to wear it, sure enough, Master Tang's craftsmanship was ingenious, and the well-fitting clothes lined her mother's face became more and more delicate, she praised: "Master Tang's craftsmanship is good, tomorrow I will take you to make a few clothes, you should also talk about the age of others, you have to pick it up." ”

After saying this, Shi Tao was a little coquettish.

The owner of Buzhuang also nodded in agreement, although he was a rough man, but he wanted to see his wife so happy every day, so he instructed his subordinates to invite Master Tang to come over, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation were all in Bujiazhuang, and only let him make clothes for the young lady and Mrs. of Bujiazhuang.

Master Tang shirked at first, but he couldn't bear the slave "three visits to the thatched house" in Bujiazhuang, packed up his bags, closed his small shop, and came to Bujiazhuang.

Mrs. Bu's clothes are more and more, and her smile is becoming more and more beautiful, as if she has returned to the carefree girl appearance of her youth, and the owner of the step village is becoming more and more obsessed with Mrs.

When did she discover her mother's abnormality? Maybe it's the subconscious confusion about her mother's recent abnormal behavior, or maybe there is no impermeable wall in the world, and she's just the one who broke the secret.

Mother had an affair with Master Tang.

It was a very ordinary night, the New Year was approaching, many martial arts people came to congratulate the New Year, my father and all his friends were eating wine and guessing boxing at the banquet, eating meat, so happy. The mother sent someone to tell the father that he was sick and cold, so he did not go to the feast.

Bu Shitao was concerned about her mother in her heart, said goodbye to her father, and walked to her mother's courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard, not even a maid who usually waited, she was sent to the dining room by her mother to serve, she stepped on the snow, the soles of her feet were a little slippery, the cold air gradually rose to the soles of her feet, she stepped on it heavily, and the sound of opening the door came.

It's her mother's personal maid, and she grew up with a young white peach.

When she saw that the person who came was Bu Shitao, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss, why are you here?" ”

Bu Shitao didn't notice anything unusual at that time, and joked with a smile: "Why is it that you don't allow me to come?" ”

Youbai shook his head, looked at Bu Shitao with a complicated expression, and then looked at the closed door on the side, without saying a word.

Bu Shitao was strange, and she was about to push the door before getting up: "Mother? ”

The door was locked and couldn't be shaken for a minute, and Bu Shitao looked at Youbai suspiciously: "Isn't my mother here?" ”

She nodded a little hesitantly, Bu Shitao didn't believe her, her father was one of the best heroes in the rivers and lakes, a good martial arts, but she only got a daughter of Bu Shitao, and she didn't want her martial arts to be inherited. Although she is a pampered eldest lady who grew up in the boudoir, she has some kung fu skills.

With all his strength, the door has some age, it is not very solid, the daily courtyard has guards to inspect, the safety of the village is absolutely guaranteed, so the door has been dragged and not changed, and Bu Shitao kicked it with all his might, and immediately opened a small crack.

Mrs. Bu seemed to have just heard the sound, and whispered from the house: "Taotao, my mother is not feeling well, so she just fell asleep." Wait, I'll open the door for you. ”

Bu Shitao replied with a smile, her eyes fell on Youbai, and she turned her head to avoid it.

Mrs. Bu had indeed fallen asleep, and when she came out, Qingsi was still a little messy, without powder, and her face was clear and beautiful.

Bu Shitao entered the door, took her mother's arm and asked how her body was? Still uncomfortable? Mother replied with a smile one by one.

Seeing that her mother yawned a few times, she stopped bothering, and after some common words, she withdrew, and when she walked in the snow, she only felt cold and almost lost the strength to walk.

The window in the southwest corner of her mother's room was open, and she passed by casually, only to see several series of footprints, beyond the size of a woman's foot, and it was a man.

If there is anyone who did not go to the banquet with him today, a name is about to come out, that Master Tang who is also sick and asked for leave.

Back in his courtyard, the hind maid Qingyan also returned. When she was in her mother's room, she instructed Qingyan to trace the end of the footprints, she couldn't rely on her own conjecture to conclude that her mother had fornicated with Master Tang, she needed evidence.

Qing Yan muttered a little twisted, not daring to look at Bu Shitao, only lowered her head: "The slave followed the footprints and finally arrived at Master Tang's shop......"

Master Tang opened a shop in the Zhuangzi after being invited by the owner of the village, not only to make clothes for the old lady, but also for the slaves, which is quite popular in the Zhuangzi.

Bu Shitao only felt that her eyes were white, she was exhausted, and she sat down on the stool. After being silent for a long time, he got up, took the whip given by his father and rushed to Master Tang's place in a rage, beat him, and lay on the couch for several days without getting out of bed.

This incident reached the ears of the owner, scolded Bu Shitao, punished her for three months, and threatened to never teach Bu Shitao martial arts again, afraid that she would learn this martial arts and bully honest people as a bully.

Bu Shitao didn't say anything, only looked deeply at her silent mother on the side, and her heart was like ashes.

She thought that as soon as she made such a fuss, her mother knew that she would find out about her reluctance, and she would always restrain herself and stop doing this dirty thing, but she didn't expect that she would still be caught and raped by her father in bed after all.

She was in the lockdown period, and she only vaguely learned about this thing from Qingyan's mouth. She knew in her heart that the matter had come to this, and her mother and father would never be able to go back to the past, and this would eventually become a thorn in her heart, which could not be touched or pulled.

My father loved my mother deeply, even if he found out that her red apricot was out of the wall, he didn't do anything to her, he didn't beat or scold his wife, he only snubbed her, sent someone to break Master Tang's leg and drove him away, burned all the clothes that Master Tang made for him, and in order to retaliate, he also agreed to be a matchmaker for his friend, married a few concubines, and added a few more people to Bujiazhuang.

Afterwards, Bu Shitao asked her mother why she committed adultery with Master Tang, how did such a rickety, old-looking tailor master win her mother's heart, regardless of the risk of being discovered, and resolutely stay together?

The mother's answer was, "Some things don't look at the surface. ”

It turns out that a happy family has always been an illusion in Bu Shitao's heart, she thought that her gentle and considerate mother was decent, and often coaxed her father's irritable temper to be much smaller, she kept the house in order, and was a qualified housewife, but she betrayed her father. In her opinion, there is nothing wrong with her father's remarriage. He loves his wife, takes care of their children, and no longer marries, which is already the most cherished promise this man can give, but the woman he loves so much has smashed his true heart hard, how can he not be angry?

There are two more women in the family, and the second aunt is the sister of my father's friend, the most delicate and lovely, and she is deeply liked by my father, and she became pregnant not long after she got married. The third aunt was originally the second aunt's personal maid, but later the second aunt and her father said that she was afraid that she would not have personal care during her pregnancy, so she also carried her aunt, but the third aunt was always silent, and she was not very pleasant, with a thin skeleton, and was often snubbed by her father.

In autumn, before the leaves were red, the second aunt gave birth to a big fat boy, who was very close to his father, and often stuck to his father's side, babbling and babbling something he didn't understand.

That is the eldest young master of Bujiazhuang, Bu Shiming.

The second aunt's mother is expensive by virtue of her son, and she has the confidence to speak in the village with her son, and she heard about Mrs. Bu and her subordinates, and she despises Bu Shitao and her mother even more, in those days, Bu Shitao always has a bad time, and her mother locked herself in the courtyard and drove out all the slaves, leaving only Youbai as a channel for her to communicate with people outside the courtyard. Although the mother did something wrong, but after all, it was her own mother, Bu Shitao often sent Qingyan and Youbai to pass the word, wanting to go into the yard to say something considerate to her mother, but the courtyard door has been locked, and her mother has never agreed. Over time, Bu Shitao stopped doing this, just thinking that she was a child that no one wanted, her mother didn't hurt, her father didn't love, she wanted to love herself.

The personality has also changed because of this, arrogant and domineering, how to be spicy.

In a blink of an eye, it was the age when Bu Shitao came out of the cabinet, and the second aunt made up an idea, wanting to marry Bu Shitao to her younger brother, a scoundrel and ruffian with no family power, and the owner of Bu Zhuang saw that Mrs. Bu didn't care about this, so he handed over Bu Shitao's family affairs to the second aunt to handle, and as soon as Bu Shitao heard about it, she immediately picked up the peach and ran out of the villa.

In the past few years, the owner of the village has never taught Bu Shitao any kung fu, and not long after he escaped, he was chased out by the village in the house, and Bu Wu caught up, and wanted to press the young lady back to the village.

How could Bu Shitao be willing, so as to persuade the two of them to wander around here with him, dissipate his mood, and go back after calming down. Buwen and Buwu are old faces in Zhuangzi, and they can be regarded as growing up with Miss, and after hearing about Mrs. Bu, they are also embarrassed, and they are also very distressed about Miss's fate. As long as she can go back voluntarily and stop making trouble, it is acceptable to stay outside for a while.

They sent a message to Bujiazhuang to say goodbye to safety, and accompanied the eldest lady to wander outside, and this ghost village also heard its absurd rumors, so they came to take a look.

Many of the guests in the inn left, and they heard that there had been a man-eating python around Qixiu Lake recently, and some people had died not long ago, so they left one after another. How absurd the legend is, how curious they are, this is not as important as their own lives.

In the good room on the third floor, Bu Shitao is thinking about how to escape, although Bu Wen and Bu Wu are a little stupid, but their kung fu and foot journey are among the best in Bujiazhuang, otherwise the owner of Bu Zhuang will not rest assured that Bu Shitao is outside, and there are only two attendants around him.

There was a knock on the door, and when I opened the door, I saw the silly smile.

Buwen smiled and said, "Miss, you haven't eaten all day, eat something." This is the roast duck I asked the store to make, you smell it. ”

The ruddy and oily skin is crispy and crispy, and the fragrance of vegetables and the richness of fruit trees are skillfully blended together, which instantly stimulates the nose and taste buds of Bushi Tao, and when you smell it deeply, it seems that you can taste the fragrant and soft duck meat that melts in your mouth.

The stomach barked out of place, Bu Wen laughed, crossed Bu Shitao and put the roast duck on the table, quietly retreated, and before he walked out of the door, he heard his voice coming: "May I ask you young men what is the matter with our young lady?" ”

"Something important to save lives."

After finishing speaking, the wooden door was brutally kicked open, and Buwen was suppressed in the corner by a young man, and eagerly shouted downstairs: "Buwu! ”

The young man laughed: "Don't shout, he's just like you now." ”

A familiar grunt came from behind him, and the young man turned his head and laughed: "What, are you hungry?" ”

Chanchan touched her stomach embarrassedly, and shouted to the store downstairs: "Shopkeeper, I also want the roast duck, and a few more cages of raw fried." ”

There was a faint voice of the shopkeeper agreeing, and Bu Shitao looked at the young man and girl in front of him in surprise, puzzled.

The three of them sat down opposite each other, and the table was also full of various dishes, fragrant.

Chanchan saw Bu Shitao dismantle a sturdy duck leg and gnaw it, and she stopped twisting it at the moment, pulled up the roast duck, put the meat in her mouth, and chewed it whining.

Before Si Wen first met, the two seemingly elegant and beautiful women pulled the roast duck to eat without any image, their mouths were full of greasy, and they even smashed their mouths, he silently glanced at Chanchan who smashed her mouth, and her eyes were full of disgust and undisguised.

Bu Shitao said while eating: "What you mean is to let me take you back to Bujiazhuang and ask my father for herbs, right?" ”

Si Wenchu nodded: "We will pay a relatively equal price, no matter how much gold and silver treasures, just mention it." "He looks like a rich son, with a lot of money.

Bu Shitao shook his head: "My father is not short of money, I know the Panlongzhi you are talking about, and it is hidden in our family's treasure pavilion, and he keeps this herb for life-saving purposes in the future." ”

In this way, Master Yubu, this herb is also used to save lives, and he will never take this herb out easily. Chanchan fell into deep thought, and the speed of gnawing on the duck leg slowed down a lot.

Si Wenchu was also a little bored, and ate with them, and later Jiang Cheng was also stunned when he saw the three of them happily eating dishes. Listening to Bu Shitao repeat what he just said, he said: "I have some life-saving herbs anywhere, but they are not as precious as this panlongzhi, I don't know if the owner is willing to cut his love." ”

Buwen and Buwu, who had been squatting in the corner, interjected at this time: "It's better for you to go back with my young lady." Whether the owner agrees or not, you will always meet and discuss. ”

What they said was reasonable, Jiang Cheng had this intention, and hit it off as soon as possible, and said that he would set off tomorrow.

Bu Shitao immediately objected and clamored not to go back. Buwen Buwu persuaded on the side: "Miss, you always have to go back, I won't tell you, the owner of the village has already sent a letter urging us to go back, and in a few days, he will send someone to arrest you." ”

Bu Shitao was dying, and when she thought that she was going to be married to her younger brother by her second aunt when she went back, she was unhappy in her heart, and she actually had the idea of committing suicide.

Chanchan had already found out that Bu Shitao's expression was wrong, although they didn't see much friendship, counting the side of Qixiu Lake and today's side, it can be regarded as a two-sided friend. Pulling Bu Shitao's sleeve and sitting down, he asked softly, "Why don't you want to go back?" ”

Bu Shitao didn't answer at first, only one person was bored, and then the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and Douda's tears slipped down, and she poured out all the things she had experienced.

After Chanchan heard this, it was a common enemy, and she thought of the three souls who were being targeted, and she was also aggrieved. Immediately decided: "Don't be afraid, I'll help you." ”

She whispered a few words close to Bu Shitao's ear, but she didn't know what to say, Bu Shitao burst into tears and laughed, and threw herself into Chanchan's arms.

The eyes of the two girls turned back and forth to Si Wenchu a few times, and he only felt a chill.

On the second day, everyone cleaned up in the inn and finally set foot on the road to Bujiazhuang.
