Zhao Yi came directly to the door of the bedroom, raised his right hand and hesitated, and then knocked down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Duh! ~”
"I didn't tell you, don't come again!" An old voice came from inside the room, his tone a little hysterical.
"She's gone, sir, I have something I want to talk to you about." Zhao Yi stood at the door and said.
There was silence in the house for a while, just when Zhao Yi wanted to knock on the door again, the door opened, and he saw an old man with white hair opening the door, he glanced at Zhao Yi and said lightly: "Young man, if you say that you are here for the drought, then I advise you to leave here as soon as possible!" After speaking, the old man was about to close the door again, but was stopped by the guard Ah Biao who was standing aside.
"Ah Biao, don't be rude!" Zhao Yi drank and guarded Ah Biao, and then politely said to the old man: "Old gentleman, Zhao Yi, the son of Zhao Heng, the former prime minister, has just returned from a business trip in Xiyao Continent, and when he passed through here today, he found that there was a big drought here, and later learned that it was done by a drought, just now I saw this drought standing at the door of your house, I don't know what her relationship with you is." “
"It turned out to be Zhao Gongzi, the son of Prime Minister Zhao, and the old man was disrespectful." When the old man heard Zhao Yi's identity, he hurriedly saluted, and then he sighed and said, "Hey! ~ It's a long story, please Zhao Gongzi to sit in the house. ”
"Ah Biao, you stay at the door and don't let anyone in." Saying that, Zhao Yi made a request to the old man to clean up, and then walked in first, but when he entered the old man's bedroom and saw the furnishings in the house, the whole person froze.
Two futons, an offering table, an incense burner, a spiritual position, a painting, this is all in the bedroom, it is said that the bedroom does not even have a bed, but what really caught Zhao Yi's attention was the painting, only to see that the painting was a beautiful woman in a red shirt, except for the skin color and hair color, it was exactly the same as the drought he had seen before.
Zhao Yi was surprised and then fell on the spiritual position, only to see that it was engraved with 'the spiritual seat of the beloved daughter He Huanting', and the reason for the appearance of the drought fish here became clear, but he still had a lot of questions that had not been solved, and then it depended on how much the old man could tell him;
Finally, after the old man sat down on the futon, he slowly spoke: "Zhao Gongzi, the old man is He Songnian, the mayor of Yonghe Town, I think you have also seen it, yes, the drought is the old man's daughter, and the matter has to start a year ago." The old man's eyes began to become misty as he spoke.
"A year ago, Yonghe Town was still a quiet and peaceful town, although it was located on the border and the location was a little remote, but the people in the town lived and worked in peace and contentment, had enough food and clothing, and lived a hard but satisfying life; However, all this changed when a pig demon moved into Chaoyang Mountain outside the town, and this pig demon wreaked havoc on the fields, devoured livestock, and even killed all the villagers in a nearby village, causing panic among the townspeople. Saying that, the old man changed his tone and looked at the portrait of his daughter, his eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, obviously thinking of the sad past, and after a while he continued: "Because the strength of the pig demon is too strong, no one in the town can beat him, and as a last resort, the old man had to ask for help from the nearest Yuzhou City, but after a few days, he did not wait for reinforcements, but the main oh is becoming more and more rampant, just when everyone is feeling desperate, a swordsman named Xiao Lang passed here, after knowing this, went directly to Chaoyang Mountain and fought with the pig demon for a day and a night, and finally eliminated the pig demon, which removed the big trouble for Yonghe Town; For a while, we regarded Xiao Lang as a life-saving hero, and my daughter also saw him at this time, and fell in love with him at first sight. And I saw that my daughter and he were in love with him because of his contribution to the town, so I agreed to the marriage. ”
The old man's body suddenly trembled as he spoke, only to see him gritting his teeth and saying: "Then Xiao Lang took my daughter to Yuzhou City after I agreed, saying that he was going there to get married, and my daughter happily followed him, but I didn't expect that when I went to visit my daughter a month later, I was greeted by the bad news that my daughter jumped off a cliff and committed suicide; At that time, I was about to go crazy, and I wanted to find out why my daughter committed suicide, but I found that the person had disappeared; I reported to the government again, but the government blasted me out; I was on the verge of a breakdown, as if everyone was hiding something, and no matter how much I asked, no one would tell me how my daughter died; I hate it! Ahem! ~”
Speaking of this, He Songnian coughed violently because of his emotion, and Zhao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his back and said, "Old man, don't get excited." ”
"Thank you, Childe." After relieving his breath, He Songnian thanked him and continued: "Later, an old friend of mine on duty in the Yamen couldn't bear to see me like this, so he quietly told me, and I learned that on the day Xiao Lang and my daughter got married, the second prince passed by here, and accidentally saw my daughter's beauty and wanted to take it for himself, so he found Xiao Lang; I didn't expect Xiao Lang, that brute, to give up his new wife and my daughter in order to cling to the powerful, and on the wedding night, Xiao Lang changed people with the prince, planning to do that kind of thing; My daughter, who had learned the news in advance, fled from there in a heartbroken state, but as soon as she escaped from the city, she was discovered by the brutes, who sent men to hunt them down overnight, and my poor daughter, who could outrun those officials, was soon overtaken, and in desperation for the sake of her innocence not to be defiled, she! ~ chose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. “
