Chapter 9: Change of mind
"Is there anything I can help me with?" Bai Jing wondered a little in his heart, there was no one in this forest, how could this couple be killed.
After thinking about it, it is likely that it has something to do with that strange man, but that man is gone, and everything is a mystery.
"No, I'll help my father and mother get revenge." Xiao Tao stood up, "Now I'm going to a small village to find a family to be a maid, what are you going to do?" Xiao Tao knew that these two people were immortals, and at first they just got together by fate, but now, she has what she wants to do.
"Go ahead, we have our own plans." Bai Jing said.
"Yes. There will be a period later. Xiao Tao said stubbornly, there were many things hidden in her eyes, she had probably already thought about what to do, and she should have thought about it a long time ago.
After Xiao Tao left, Bai Jing took Hua Chen to find a cave to live in.
"Master, who are you?" Bai Jing boiled the porridge, the fragrance of the porridge got into Hua Chen's nose little by little, she licked her lips, and wanted to take a bite very much.
But Bai Jing has always protected those who eat, and Hua Chen can't catch them no matter what.
"I'm a mage." Hua Chen said very seriously.
Bai Jing was very dissatisfied with this answer, "Master, you have to be obedient, as long as you tell me honestly, I will let you eat these, you see, this chicken stew is just right, and it melts in your mouth." ”
Hua Chen looked at the chicken in the pot greedily, but didn't say anything, she turned her head to look inside, and played a little temper.
In the past, at this time, Bai Jing would take the initiative to send porridge to Hua Chen's mouth.
Hua Chen heard the sound of eating behind her, and she glanced back to see that Bai Jing was already enjoying those delicacies. He didn't leave her at all, and he was happy to eat with a pot of food alone.
Touching his stomach, Hua Chen thought about it and was unmoved.
There is a remote mountain village a hundred miles away from Mobai Town, there are more than 500 people in this mountain village, everyone knows some martial arts, and the people here live a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
On this day, a girl wearing tattered clothes and covered in dirt came here, and when the villagers saw it, they sent it to the village chief.
The village chief took the little girl in the house and asked her to help take care of his son.
This village seems to be so ordinary, but it is so unusual, the average village chief will not have so much prestige, and the family will not hire maids and attendants, but this village chief is not only very prestigious here, the village chief actually has maids and attendants at home.
The little girl's face was washed, and the village chief's mother-in-law praised her for being a little beauty.
"What's your name?" The grandmother who was cooking at the village chief's house asked with a smile, as if she was looking at her granddaughter at home.
"My name is Little Peach." Xiao Tao said timidly, looking at Grandma uneasily.
"Don't be afraid, this will be your home in the future, our young master is a good person, you will definitely not be wronged by his side." Grandma said comforting Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao was arranged in the courtyard where the village chief's son lived, which was said to be a village, but it was actually more like a big house, very big, but the outside was the same as an ordinary village.
The people here call the village chief's son the young master, and Xiao Tao was sent to the young master's yard, but the young master just went out yesterday and was not at home.
"Grandma Chen, who is this? Look at the tightness of the face. A light and breezy voice sounded above Xiao Tao's head, and the person who spoke lived in this courtyard.
There is a tree in the courtyard where the young master lives, there are a total of eight rooms, one on both sides of the tree is the young master's room, and the other is the woman's room.
Xiao Tao heard the woman's voice, and lowered her head slightly.
"Look, she's like she's scared of me." The woman's eyes kept on Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao just lowered her head before the woman noticed.
This made Xiao Tao tense.
"The child just came, without a father or mother, the village chief saw that she was pitiful, so he took her in, and he will be responsible for serving the young master in the future." Grandma Chen touched Xiao Tao's hair and said gently.
"My cousin really needs someone to take care of, but is this little girl long-winded? My cousin hates clumsy people the most. There was a slight hostility in the woman's tone, which made people sound a little uncomfortable.
"Her name is Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, this is Miss Table, in the future, you just have to serve the good young master, Miss Cousin will definitely not be difficult for you." What Grandma Chen said was not like something that ordinary mountain villagers would think of, what she said had a harmonious meaning, and if you listened carefully, you would find that she helped Xiao Tao a little more.
"Yes, I will definitely behave well in the future." Xiao Tao lowered her head and said.
"Alright then, let her go to her cousin's room." The woman said compassionately.
Xiao Tao lived in this yard, doing what a maid should do every day, no one taught her, but she did it better than everyone else, as if she had been a maid before.
On this day, the young master of the village came back from outside, and when he came to the courtyard, Miss Zirou came out to talk to him.
"Why did you come back in two days? What to find? Zirou's tone was much softer, her parents were dead, and she had been living here.
The young master didn't speak, he saw Xiao Tao who was washing clothes on the side, the clothes he had worn before.
"Who told you to wash my laundry?" The man in black boots stood in front of Xiao Tao, and his tone was a little cold.
"Cousin, this is the maid that Grandma Chen found for you." Zirou just said a word after reading it, and she didn't know if she was talking to Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao trembled and didn't dare to make a move.
"I don't need a maid to go to another hospital." The man said firmly, bound to drive away Xiao Tao's appearance.
"I told Grandma Chen, but you're so old, you can't even do things like washing clothes yourself." Zirou said with a smile, the man's reaction seemed to be in her expectation.
"I can do it myself, get her out of here quickly." The man turned and walked into his room, closed the door, and paid no attention to the affairs of the courtyard.
"Little girl, I'll let Grandma Chen arrange for you to go somewhere else, or send you to a rich man's house to be a maid, and keep you better than now." Zirou looked at Xiao Tao with a smile, but there was no ill will towards Xiao Tao at this time.
Xiao Tao didn't speak, just lowered her head and washed her clothes and dried them.
"Miss Cousin, I'll go first." Xiao Tao lowered her head and prepared to walk out of the yard.
The young master's door suddenly opened, and he stood at the door, "Forget it, let's stay, Zirou is right, I can't do everything by myself." The young master suddenly changed his mind, and he didn't know what was going on.
"Did my cousin change his mind because of my words? It turns out that I have such a heavy place in my cousin's heart. Zirou said with a smile, in a good mood, "Come in and serve your cousin well." ”
When Zirou returned to the room, Xiao Tao walked into the open room.
"Close the door." The man inside was sitting in the room, wiping his sword, affectionately focused.
Xiao Tao closed the door and looked timidly at the person sitting at the table.
The sword in the man's hand suddenly swung towards Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao held her breath, looking at the sword in front of her, and even forgot to breathe.
"I went out to find you this time, I didn't expect you to be here, it's really fate." The man withdrew his sword.
"Brother Qi......" Little Peach was timid, not daring to look up at the man's appearance.
"Where did the courage to drive me away that day go?" The man sneered, very dissatisfied.
Xiao Tao didn't dare to say a word, in front of him, she didn't dare to come out, because in her heart, this was a god-like figure, just looking at it was an extremely extravagant thing.
"Okay, you stay with me in the future, and I will take care of you." The man reassured, and put the sword down, ignoring the little peach.
Since then, Xiao Tao has lived here, and he has a good relationship with the people in the village on weekdays.
Brother Qi in Xiao Tao's mouth seems to be very busy, he usually goes out, and she doesn't have many opportunities to take care of him, but every time she can see him, she is very happy, but these joys are hidden by her numb expression.
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and Little Peach's numb expression gradually turned into nervousness, she seemed to be very nervous, and if someone behind her said something to her, she could jump up and hide far away.
Brother Qi didn't come back that night, Xiao Tao slept on the small bed outside, and she could see the moon when she opened the window, she saw that the moon gradually turned blood red, and the uneasiness in her heart became bigger and bigger, and she reached a peak tonight.
The blood-red full moon hung high in the sky, and Xiao Tao put on her coat and did not dare to light the lamp, but she tiptoed out of the window in her cloth shoes, and behind this window there was a tree, and after climbing it she could climb up and climb out of the courtyard.
Xiao Tao's body is light, and she is young, so she climbed up easily, she walked to the entrance of the village alone, suddenly, there was some movement in the grass on the left, and Xiao Taozi quickly hid behind the grass on the right, and the cat walked into the distance.
The sound on the other side of the grass became farther and farther away, and Little Peach was terrified, and she didn't know which way she was going, she moved quickly through the grass like a fly without a head.
Suddenly, a person flew in front of her and grabbed her shoulder, "Where are you going?" Xiao Tao's beloved Brother Qi suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Tao's eyes, his face cold.
Xiao Tao covered her mouth so that she didn't let out an exclamation, her hands were shaking.
"I ...... I'm scared ......," said Momo, trembling, not at all like the little girl who carried the man home.
"What happened?" The man approached Momo and stood beside Momo as a protector.
Xiao Tao bit her lip tightly, her eyes were a little stunned, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
The man was not impatient, he grabbed Xiao Tao's wrist and led her to the village.
After walking more than a dozen steps, Xiao Tao struggled as if she was going crazy, "Brother Qi, hurry up, someone wants to kill you, there are many, many of them, let's get out of here quickly." ”
