Scar-Eyed Chen smiled slyly, pointed to a small dirt bag beside him and said, "Come and sit at my house, let's have a good chat!" ”

Where did Pei Yun and Wang Xiaodong dare to stay for half a minute, and immediately rushed away. The night that followed, the two of them scurried through the mountains like frightened birds, and the slightest hint of wind and grass frightened them enough.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that they returned to the cottage along the mountain road. However, the whole village was completely destroyed and razed to the ground overnight. The two searched for a long time in the burned cottage, but did not see a single living person or corpse. They hurriedly went down the mountain to inquire and learned that the troops had come down from the mountain to suppress the bandits. As soon as this unit arrived in the town, they dug out the eyeliner of Scar-Eyed Chen and other bandits through intelligence, and shot them on the spot; Then he forced the townspeople to move all the ancestral graves to the wild dog slope, saying that it was "moving the barren graves and returning the fertile land", which made the town complain. Even so, no one dared to stand up and resist, after all, the guy in someone's hands was hard, and no one could do it. Last night, under the cover of night, this unit touched Minglei Mountain, wiped out all the bandits on the mountain, and brought all the corpses back to the town, exposing the corpses for three days to set an example.

According to his father, many years later, whenever the grandfather recalled this incident, he was always annoyed, and he felt that if he hadn't "left his post without permission" at that time, maybe his silky brothers would not have died, and he would not have been unlucky enough to run into a ghost market. But I think that even if the grandfather didn't "leave his post without permission" back then, it can't change this outcome, how can a bandit on a hill stop a well-equipped regular army? His presence was nothing more than an extra corpse. As for the ghost thing, whether it is a blessing or a curse, then it depends on how you look at it. Hell in trouble? but he escaped with this and escaped with his life; Is it a blessing? I don't think anyone thinks it's a blessing, right? Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, blessing and misfortune lurk, blessing or curse, I think there is a scale in the hearts of the two of them.

Although Pei Yun and Wang Xiaodong escaped with their lives, there were many people in the town who knew them, so they didn't dare to stay longer, so they fled outside the town overnight, preparing to hide in Wang Xiaodong's hometown for a while. Because they are afraid of being discovered, they are always cautious when they travel, for fear that someone will follow them. In addition, he didn't have much money on his body, so he relied on sleeping or sleeping overnight along the way, needless to say, the hardships and hardships.

It was late in the evening, and a strong wind blew suddenly, and soon the snow fell like goose feathers. The cold wind and heavy snow covered the ground, which made the two people walking on the mountain road suffer a lot. I easily descended the mountain road, passed through the grove at the foot of the mountain, and finally met a family. The two of them, who were frozen, hurriedly stepped forward to spend the night to avoid the cold.

The house was nestled outside the woods, with no other people around. At that time, the family was also a medium-sized family, with a small courtyard and three brick houses, and it seemed that they should also have no worries about food and clothing.

Pei Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a voice came from inside the door: "Old man, you are back!" There was joy in the words. The door slowly opened, and a woman over forty years old came out, and she was stunned when she saw Pei Yun and Wang Xiaodong: "You are ......"

"We are passing passengers, just in time for the heavy snowfall, and there is nowhere to go, so we also ask this aunt to make it convenient for our brother to stay here for the night." Wang Xiaodong stepped forward and said.

The woman looked at the two of them and hesitated: "This ...... My family went out, and there were only me and my daughter at home, so I'm afraid it's not very convenient......"

Wang Xiaodong hurriedly said: "Auntie, you see that our brother really has nowhere to go with such a heavy snow, and he will definitely freeze to death." Auntie, we are really not bad people, please do well, let us stay overnight, even if it is a firewood house, we can shelter from the wind and snow. ”

When the woman saw that Wang Xiaodong said it sincerely, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted; Looking at the snow outside, it was indeed very big, and I couldn't help sighing, and when I was about to answer, a voice like a silver bell came out of the courtyard: "Mother, is my father back?" ”

The woman turned back and replied, "No, they are two travelers passing by who want to stay at our house." ”

"With such a heavy snowfall, it is estimated that there is no way to come, so let them come in and rest for a while." The girl in the courtyard said.

The woman sighed, "Having said that, but your father is not at home, what can we do if we meet a bad man?" ”

Wang Xiaodong saw that there was a door to the matter, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Auntie, we are not villains, we are by no means villains. We only stayed one night and the snow stopped tomorrow morning. ”

The woman looked at them again, and saw that they did not look like villains, although they were disheveled, and opened the door for them to enter.

Pei Yun and Wang Xiaodong were overjoyed, and walked in while thanking each other.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate and lovely appearance, wearing a red flower jacket, standing on the snow and being very gorgeous. The girl stared at her as soon as she entered the door, and she couldn't help blushing slightly, and turned around and walked back to the house.

Pei Yun and Wang Xiaodong were arranged to live in a side room temporarily. When it was time for dinner, the woman kindly called Pei Yun and the others to join their mother and daughter. When they entered the house, there were already four dishes on the table, but they were all dried vegetables and tofu. During the meal, Pei Yun chatted with the woman and learned that the husband of the family was surnamed Lin, and he often went out to do some small business, and only the woman Lin Li and her daughter Cuiyun were left in the family.

During the meal, Pei Yun and Wang Xiaodong always stared at Cuiyun from time to time, and they could see Cuiyun's cheeks. Under the reflection of the candlelight, Cuiyun's shyness made Pei Yun and the others itch even more. What made the two even more excited was that Cuiyun would occasionally raise his head and look at him under their gaze, his gaze wandering, and he was infinitely shy, but he quickly lowered his head after a glance.

Lin Li didn't notice the eyebrows of the three of them, but they were still there and whispered to Pei Yun: "Our family lives in a remote area, and even those who buy some meat and vegetables have to walk more than ten miles, so Cuiyun and my mother rarely see outsiders." Actually, I wanted the old man to move to the town for a long time, but he was always not at home, so I was afraid that we would be bullied......"

After eating, when he returned to the room, Wang Xiaodong pulled Pei Yun to his side: "Hey, I just saw you say a few words to Cuiyun in private, what did you say?" Pei Yun smiled: "It's nothing, it's just chatting and chatting a few words." Wang Xiaodong pouted and said, "Chatting? Your kid is a master who can't afford to be profitable, there must be a cat, tell your brother about it! Pei Yun smiled: "I just asked her if she could come to her room to talk!" Wang Xiaodong's eyes lit up and he asked urgently, "What did she say?" Pei Yun said: "She squirmed and disagreed at first, and then hehe...... Later, I was moved. Wang Xiaodong said: "She agreed?" Pei Yun said: "Agreed." ”
