As they had done last time, they tied their horses outside the village. Looking up at the sky, the night was gloomy and terrible, but the village was very lively, and it stands to reason that they should hide in their homes and not dare to go out. The more normal it seems, the more unusual it is.

If that's all it takes, it's just that the village is lit up with lights, as if a big joy has happened.

Outside the village, the ancient well still stands there, and an old man with a withered body and a haggard face is sitting under a tree to enjoy the shade. The villagers came from the west, either carrying hoes or carrying firewood and sweating profusely, and were a little surprised to see them.

Someone recognized Su Zhen and Shang Jingyao with sharp eyes, and came up to greet them warmly.

"Su Shaoqing! Girl Jing'er! ”

The brawny man who spoke first was dark-skinned and sweat-stained, carrying a sack on his right shoulder and a child of five or six years old in his left hand. His eyes were shining, and he tilted his little head to look at them, his dexterous tongue licking his fingers. Seeing them look over, he smiled shyly.

"Hello uncle." Shang Jingyao smiled and waved her hand, squatted down and pinched the child's fleshy cheeks, and couldn't put it down.

"Miss Jing'er, you came to Huanyu Mountain again, but what happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't think about it. The last time we came, Brother He Lan gave us a lot of cookies, and this time I just wanted to ask for some more to taste back and forth. ”

Shang Jingyao didn't say that it was okay, as soon as she mentioned He Lan, Su Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes turned to the old man under the tree, remembering that he had said that he had saved Yue Xian'er back then...... It seems to be He Lan! But she remembered that He Lan didn't know anything about the three of them.

"Hahaha! Girl, you can really laugh, but it's just some coarse grain cakes. The two of you are the great benefactors of our village, and in the past two days, an adult surnamed Yu has come a few times, and by the way, the Huang family has been arrested, I heard that they seem to be colluding with corrupt officials, which is a great joy. ”

The strong man stroked the thick stubble, and closed his mouth happily, and the child he was holding let go of his hand and pulled Shang Jingyao to Su Zhen. Holding the corners of her clothes and shaking gently, the innocence in her eyes made Su Zhen's heart soften.

"Sister! Boys like you! ”

As soon as the child's words came out, everyone was stunned, and the strong man shouted in embarrassment, "Tong'er! Come back quickly, don't be rude to Su Shaoqing. ”

"No! Daddy! This sister is so pretty! ”

Xiao Chuhong coughed dryly, pulled Su Zhen to his side with a sour taste, the corner of his clothes was detached from the hand of the child named Tong'er, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head and sobbed in a low voice.

The strong man hurriedly apologized, "Su Shaoqing, don't mind, it's the villain who can't teach him." ”

Su Hao touched her cheek, "It's okay, don't worry about it, the child is still young." It's better to be praised for being beautiful than to be ugly, right? ”

Squatted down and picked up Tong'er, let him sit on his arm, and smiled patiently, "You are a little man, how can you cry?" Your name is Tong'er, my name is Zhen'er, we are also destined, but Tong'er can't call me sister, you should call me brother! ”

"Brother?"

"Yes!"

Tong'er stretched out his hand and scratched Su Hao's face a few times, leaving a few dirty black marks, and Su Hao didn't care much about rubbing the two horned buns on the top of his head.

"Tong'er, my brother still has something to do, go home with my father, your mother should be in a hurry."

"Brother Zhen'er, will you come again in the future?" The boy was reluctant.

"Of course it will come!"

Xiao Chuhong watched Tong Erke tossing in Su Hao's arms from the side, and his heart was bubbling with sourness.

Returning Tong'er to the strong man, he smiled shyly, "Tong'er is ignorant and ignorant, thank you Shaoqing for your understanding." ”

Su Zhen shook her head and arched her hand, "Then let's take our leave first." ”

"Good! Shaoqing go slowly! ”

Su Zhen bowed her head and left first, and the others followed.

Before entering the village, Su Zhen came to the tree again. The old man was still enjoying the shade under the yellowed bamboo and rattan chair, and the fan in his hand was gently shaking.

Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps approaching, he opened his cloudy eyes, and his voice was muffled.

"Childe, girl, you're here again!"

"Old man, we are here to ask you about Yue Xian'er and Miss Yue again."

"Xian'er? Xian'er is already married, what is there to say? ”

Get married?! Not only Su Zhen was stunned, but others were also stunned.

"Old man, think about it again, last time you clearly said that He Lan He Gongzi saved a girl a few years ago, and that girl was called Yue Xian'er, and then she was robbed by horse thieves and taken to the mountain."

"Yo, listening to you say this, it seems that there is such a thing, she and Xiaohe respect each other like guests, and he also sent some clothes to Lao Yu the day before yesterday."

"Husband and wife? But the last time we came, Brother He obviously didn't look like he had ever been married! You also said that Miss Yue never came back! ”

"Although the old man is old and dizzy, he is not old and confused, let alone delirious, he has been married for many years. Xian'er girl's life was hard, she was kidnapped and went up the mountain that year, thanks to Xiaohe's report officer, she went up the mountain with the officers and soldiers to rescue people, which made a good marriage. ”

Mo Shen muttered behind Su Zhen, "Childe, this doesn't seem to be the same as what you said." ”

"I don't understand what's going on."

Su Zhen thought in her heart, could it be that she and Xiao Chuhong were sent back around thirteen years ago, which really changed Yue Xian'er's fate? But that's not right, if the dumb slave in the palace is not Yue Xian'er, who is she?

Looking sideways at Shang Jingyao, her expression was as usual, and she couldn't see anything unusual at all.

"Old man, why didn't we see that girl Yue last time we came?"

"Miss Yue was born beautiful, and Huang Yi once bumped into her, so he had the heart of domination, and as early as a few days ago, Xiaohe sent people out overnight. Otherwise, Huang Yi would not have targeted him so much, and it was thanks to his fear of his Lao Tzu that he didn't dare to be too blatant. ”

Su Zhen was dumbfounded, and after thanking her, she hurriedly ran towards He Lan's house.

"Huh? Son? Wait for us. ”

After Mo Sheng and Mo Shen also left, Shang Jingyao and Xiao Chuhong walked side by side without hurry, she turned her head sideways and said provocatively, "General Xiao, I'm afraid you're going to lose?" ”

Xiao Chuhong smiled disdainfully, "Lose? He has never been a bet between you and me, if he chooses you and becomes Luo Qi's concubine, I will still be ten million times better to him and make him change his mind. If he refuses, I will forcibly snatch him back to the General's Mansion!" What's more, he also has me in his heart, and he has no love for you. ”

"General, you are so confident." Shang Jingyao's tone was meaningful.

"The princess may not understand, there is a kind of love, which has nothing to do with the distinction between men and women, but only the desire of the heart."

Xiao Chuhong stretched out his hand to dust off the non-existent dust on his robe, and strode away with a smile on his face.

Shang Jingyao's eyes were full of unwillingness or resentment, and Xiao Chuhong was so confident that she was afraid that it would be even worse.
