When he finally reached the halfway point of the mountain, Su Nianqing saw a white buckwheat flower in the moonlight, as written in the poem:

The frost grass and the insects are cut, and the pedestrians in the south and north of the village are absolutely untouched.

Looking at the field before going out alone, the moonlight buckwheat flowers are like snow.

But at this time, where did Su Nianqing still have Yaxing who recited poems, she only hoped that there was someone on the top of the mountain, and she could spend the night, so she strode towards the top of the mountain, the night was extremely cold, because the feet were warm when walking, but the ears were so cold that they hurt, and the ears around them also hurt.

And from time to time, I still feel itchy in my back, and I always feel that there seems to be someone, but Su Nianqing doesn't dare to look back. Once when she came out of the palace with Mo Xiao, it was also dark, and she turned to look, and Mo Xiao said:

"When a person walks at night, he has three lamps on his body, one on his shoulders and one on his head, and if you turn your head to see that the lights will go out, and if you look at them one at a time, the lights will go out and something unclean will come up on you."

Thinking of this, Su Nianqing couldn't help but shudder, she had already turned her head to look at it once just now, wouldn't there be only two lights on her body? But her back was more itchy, and she felt as if someone was about to scratch her shoulder.

"Girl!"

Su Nianqing heard this voice exactly. As if her heart was about to jump out, Su Nianqing held her breath, but she still didn't dare to look back.

It's just that she saw a shadow on the ground, and there was indeed a person behind her, Su Nianqing clenched her sword, but her body still couldn't help but tremble.

Ghosts should have no shadows, yes, if he has a shadow, it shouldn't be ghosts, Su Nianqing comforted herself.

The shadow began to move, and the man stepped forward, and Su Nianqing dared to look at the man, who was a cropper in his thirties, with dark skin, wearing coarse linen clothes, and carrying a flat burden on his body.

The man bent over and gasped, "The girl's footsteps are so fast, I have been chasing since the foot of the mountain, but I have not caught up." ”

Could it be that she felt that she was right, and there were people behind her, Su Nianqing wanted to laugh a little, if he hadn't chased after him, how could he have walked so fast?

"Does the eldest brother live in the mountains?"

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed to the mountain, "Yes, I went to sell firewood, but the officers and soldiers in the city were chasing someone, and they couldn't sell it, so I came back later." After speaking, he looked at Su Nianqing again, "Where is the girl?" It's more late at night, and a person is not safe. ”

Su Nianqing lowered her eyes, "I'm separated from my eldest brother, I'll look for my eldest brother." ”

After staying with Chu Shen for a few days, Su Nianqing's ability to lie is also growing.

"Oh, why don't you go to my house and rest for the night, and then leave at dawn." The man smiled honestly.

"This ......"

Su Nianqing hesitated, although this person looked honest, but after all, he was a man.

Seeing Su Nianqing's doubts, the man said again: "Don't worry, girl, there is still a mother at home." ”

Only then did Su Nianqing feel a little relieved and followed him to a wooden house.

The man put down his burden, "Girl, this is my home, the family is simple, the girl will just take it!" ”

Su Nianqing hurriedly said: "I'm very grateful that my eldest brother can take me in, thank you eldest brother!" ”

The sound of the door opening came from inside, "Agui, who are you talking to?" ”

The sound came from an older woman, as if footsteps were coming from the door, followed by the sound of the latch opening the door a moment later.

The door opened, and Gui stepped forward and whispered to the woman, about meeting a girl on the way.

Hearing that Agui brought back a girl, Aguiniang's eyes straightened, and she immediately poked her head out to see, after all, his son was in his thirties and had not yet married.

Su Nianqing stepped forward and shouted, "Auntie! ”

A Guiniang smiled on her face, and hurriedly stretched out her hand, "Come girl, please do it in the house, the eldest lady burned a charcoal fire, and it was cold outside." ”

Inside, there is a small courtyard, and there is a tree in the courtyard facing the gate, and further on there are three main houses, all of which are earthen walls, and there are corn hanging on the walls.

"Come girl, please come to the house!"

Agui guided Su Nianqing to go, there was a fire pit on the left side of the door of the house, there was a fire burning in the fire pit, next to the fire pit were four big stones, surrounding the fire pit into a square, and then there were a few bowls on the stones, and the bowls were covered with bowls, and the bowls should be filled with vegetables.

"Come, girl, sit down!"

Agui brought a straw stool made of straw.

Ah Guiniang opened the bowl covered with the vegetable bowl, and there was a bowl of black vegetables inside, I couldn't tell what it was, and on the other side was a bowl of rice, but fortunately I could see that it was a bowl of rice.

A Guiniang put the bowl of vegetables on the ground, evened half a bowl of rice from the bowl on the side and handed it to Su Nianqing, "The girl will eat some!" ”

—————

Su Nianqing was indeed hungry, but when she saw A Guiniang's actions, she knew that his family must only have this bowl of rice, so she hurriedly shirked it, "Auntie, give it to the eldest brother, I'm not hungry!" ”

A Guiniang's face immediately changed, "This girl, how can you not be hungry, the eldest lady will give you something to eat, whatever he does, just eat one more bowl tomorrow." ”

Su Nianqing couldn't shirk it, so she had to take the bowl, but where had she eaten such a meal since she was a child, so she ate this bowl of rice, but she was very grateful to others, if it wasn't for his family to take her in, maybe she was still walking on the road at this time, there are a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain.

After eating, she was arranged to sleep in the room on the left, which was supposed to be where Ah Gui slept, because there was a dagger on the simple table and a bow and arrows on the wall.

But I vaguely heard the sound of talking outside, because her brother took her to practice martial arts since she was a child, Su Nianqing's hearing is excellent, and she wants to hear if it has anything to do with her in this strange place.

"Gui'er, my mother looks at this girl very good, and you are not too young......"

Hearing this, Su Nianqing's heart tightened, what did this mean? Do you want to leave her as Agui's daughter-in-law?

Then came Agui's voice, "Mother, that girl is not an ordinary person, you look at the dress, how does she look like we are from the countryside?" ”

Fortunately, this Agui is a visionary, but Su Nianqing didn't dare to take it lightly, she didn't dare to sleep all night, and got up when the sky was bright.

Ah Gui and his mother were about to go out, so they gathered some firewood as soon as possible, and went to the market to sell them after breakfast.

Seeing that Su Nianqing got up, Agui hurriedly put down the firewood knife in his hand, "Why did the girl get up, I will send you back after you rest for a while, the road on the mountain is not easy to walk." ”

Ah Gui said with a sincere smile again.

"Thank you, big brother, I was really uneasy after a night of disturbance!" Su Nianqing said and took out a bracelet from his arms, "Be careful, big brother must accept it!" ”

Ah Guiniang saw the jade bracelet with a green body at a glance, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately walked over, "God, this good thing is not for mortals!" ”

When she was young, she worked as an errand boy in a large family, and she had seen many good things, but she had never seen such good things.

Ah Gui's eyes are also straight, he often goes into the city, of course he knows that this is a good thing, but he began to doubt Su Nianqing's identity in his heart, at first he only thought that Su Nianqing was a girl from a big family, but at this time he felt that Su Nianqing seemed to be more noble than the young lady of a big family.

At first, he just helped Su Nianqing out of kindness, and he didn't want any reward, but when he saw the bracelet, he didn't think so.
