"Idiot! You used Drift Away, wouldn't it startle the snake?! An angry voice reprimanded in a low voice. In the forest, there is a low-pressure arrogance...

In the shade of the sky, in the dark sky, a wizened white-haired old man, his shabby clothes swaying in the wind... His thin face, his eyes were sharp and sharp, revealing a chill in the dark night......

Standing in front of the old man, the man wearing a hat on his head, dressed in black, blended with the night, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The person wearing the hat bows his head and looks respectful to the old man. His deep voice replied helplessly: "It's just because that kid is chasing me tightly... I had no choice but to scatter. Luckily, I would have been caught up by him. ”

"Although Fan Yin's martial arts are not fearful, but that light skill is indeed good... No wonder you drift away. It's just that... He will search for the source of this wandering, which is not good for you or me. The old man looked into the distance, touched his chin thoughtfully, and said worriedly: "You and I should be careful."

"Yes." The hat-wearer still bowed his head and answered with his fists clenched.

The moonlight is half faint, looming in the sky, and in the silent forest, the breeze is blowing in the dark......

……………………………………

Song Lian is sixteen years old, just at the age of the beginning of love.

Last night, Fan Gongzi's mind was full of all night, and he even had his shadow in his dreams. When she got up in the morning, Song Lian sat on the edge of the bed with her hands in her hands, feeling shy.

"Li'er, I'm going to go to Chashan today, you stay at home and look after the shop." Song Ke shouted at her outside the door.

Song Lian looked out the window, the sky was still dark gray, because the tea mountain was far away, Song Ke had to get up early and go to the tea mountain on foot to buy goods.

Song Lian sank down and walked out of the back room. Seeing Song Ke carrying a big bamboo basket on his shoulder, he took a bowl and drank a large bowl of tea, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

"Dad, will you be back tomorrow morning?" Song Lian looked at Song Ke and asked. Every time Song Ke went to Chashan to buy goods, he must have not returned overnight, and he would not return until the morning of the next day.

Song Ke nodded, and as usual, instructed, "You are home alone, and when you sleep at night, the door bolt can be bolted." "

"Got it, Dad." Song Lian smiled and nodded obediently. Song Ke went out with confidence.

After Song Lian finished grooming, she went to Xiao Min'er's house opposite, bought a few big steamed buns, and prepared the day's rations. Song Ke is not at home, Song Lian doesn't have to cook, and she can deal with it simply.

When Song Lian was cleaning the tea shop, a vicissitudes of life, a hoarse voice came, "Okay, okay, give food to eat... Okay, okay... Girl. "

Song Lian raised his eyes and looked, at the threshold of the tea shop, a beggar with dark skin and dirty body stood in front of the door.

The man, about sixty years old, wore a shabby straw hat. His hairline was as white as snow, like a messy bird's nest. He was dressed in rags, like several strips of tattered cloth, colorful and shabby, and his clothes were covered with dust.

His stature is unusually thin, which is regrettable. Dirty with a broken bowl in his hand. Carrying one on his shoulders, a big burden full of patches.

The strands of hair on his forehead shrugged over his forehead, half-covering his gloomy and deep eyes, and he looked at Song Lian with a pitiful expression.

Song Lian, who was kind and pure-hearted, looked at him for a moment, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, ran to the cash cabinet, and took a copper coin.

When she turned around, she saw that Yu Jin was at the door, looking the beggar up and down, her eyes were full of disgust, she covered her mouth and nose and drove away, "Go, go!" Stinky for food! Early in the morning, what kind of food are you begging? Don't know the rules? Go!"

Song Lian walked over with the copper coin, stared at Yu Jin, and said, "He is also pitiful, don't bully the pitiful." He handed the beggar the coin, and the man whispered thanks and left.

"Lian'er, you are too kind, there are many beggars all over the world, and there are begging for them every day, where can you afford to raise them?" Yu Jin chirped crookedly, "If you give alms like this, you can't eat enough." "

"If I have something to eat, I'll squeeze a mouthful." Song Lian took the corners of her braids in her hand, put them in her mouth and bit them, looked at Yu Jin with a smile and asked, "What are you doing today?" "

"Li'er, I'm not here to pester you, I'm here to buy tea for my father." After Yu Jin walked in the door, he hurriedly explained to Song Lian. This Yu Jin, Xu was scared by the young man's lesson, Song Lian couldn't help but hide his mouth and snicker.

Song Lian weighed Yu Jin, and when packing the tea, Yu Jin crossed Erlang's legs, sat at the tea table and waited, whistling leisurely.

"Alright, come and get it." Song Lian quickly packed the tea leaves and said to Yu Jin.

Yu Jin walked over slowly, paid the silver taels, carried the tea bag, lay on the counter, and whispered to Song Lian, "This morning, your father carried a bamboo basket on his back and bought steamed buns at Xiao Min'er's house, saying that he was going up the mountain to buy goods." Li'er, you are home alone, if you need a brother, just command. "

This Yu Jin, what do you mean? Mo not... Crooked minds again? … He's not ashamed... Song Lian raised her eyes to look at Yu Jin, her ears were crimson, and her face was displeased. I thought to myself, "Good boy! I'm afraid it's a good scar and forget the pain! "

Song Lian thought about it, with an angry look, he was unguarded, grabbed Yu Jin's ears, pulled them up, tilted his head to stare at Yu Jin, and asked, "What do you mean?" Say! Which tendon is itching again? ”

"Hey, hey..."Yu Jin was pulled up by her, and her body moved diagonally upward, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain... Unexpectedly, she misunderstood what she meant, and quickly said with a grin, "Brother, I mean... If you have trouble, just call your brother... Don't get me wrong. "

Oh, it would have been wrong. Song Lian was embarrassed to let go of her hand. smiled, "That brother will help me talk to Xiao Min'er and let her come to my house tonight to accompany me." "

Yu Jin is a month older than Song Lian, Song Lian calls him by his name on weekdays, and now he has changed his name to brother, Yu Jin can't help but be overjoyed, he responds to his requests, and seeing that Song Lian can't get out, he is willing to run errands.

"Brother, I'm going to tell Xiao Min'er." Yu Jin rubbed his red ears, agreed, whistled angrily, carried the tea bag, and walked out of the tea shop leisurely.

After a whole day of endless busyness, Song Lian finally stopped. The sky is getting dark.

Song Lian walked to the east of the main hall, came to the back hall, put a few steamed buns bought in the morning, put them in a steamer, sat in front of the stove with a small bench, and added firewood to the stove.

Outside the window, the sky is dark, and you can't see your fingers, only the sky, a few unlit stars, reflecting the shadows of the trees.

'Meow' in the silent night, a lonely cat meows. Not long after the cat's sound stopped, a moment later, the faint sound of rubble on the roof was sparsely cracked.

Song Lian listened vigilantly, and the sound of the roof stopped abruptly.

She was about to go out to take a look, when there was a soft knock on the door.

Song Lian ran to the door, pulled out the door bolt, and opened the door, Xiao Min'er stood in front of the door, her eyes smiled crookedly, like a crescent moon, "Sister Pity, I'll accompany you." "

Song Lian smiled and turned sideways, leaving a large gap, and Xiao Min'er had just stepped into the room. Suddenly, a black image lightning flashed in, and the masked man in black covered the door.

"Ahh You are—" Xiao Min'er was frightened and was about to shout who you were. Unexpectedly, the masked man quickly stepped forward, strangled her upper body, and tightly covered her mouth.

"Don't make a sound! Don't make a sound!" The masked man stared sharply and lowered his voice to stop.

Song Lian was defenseless and frightened. She leaned against the wall, calmed down for a moment, and was about to come to the rescue. But at a glance, the scabbard hanging from the masked man's waist was unarmed, and he didn't dare to shoot easily.

"Thief, where did you go"... Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of 'kicking and stomping', chaotic footsteps, from far to near, as if there were several people. The sound of footsteps, in the silence of the night, seemed very alarming.

The originally silent streets frightened the people who had fallen asleep, but at such times, no one dared to go out easily to find out.

"The thief, the steward, seems to have gone ahead," he said, shouting from one to the other.

Song Lian stood alone against the wall, holding her breath, listening carefully to the door, the little Min'er was strangled by the masked man, her eyes widened in horror, she didn't move as if she had been pointed.

After a while, the sound of footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, and the night street was silent again.

At this time, the masked man remained silent and slowly let go of Xiao Min'er.

Xiao Min'er gasped and ran to Song Lian's side as if she was running away, she was clinging to the wall, trembling, and didn't say a word to look at him.

"Uh-huh... Woo woo... Daddy..."...

"Woooooo Mother..."...

Xiao Min'er stared at the masked man, her face was sincerely frightened, and she whimpered with tears, crying very suppressively.

"Don't cry! Don't make a sound!" The masked man raised his eyebrows and whispered to stop her.

Alas! Xiao Min'er, at this time, even if you call your father and mother, you can't save you... Song Lian thought to himself.

She regretted in her heart at this time, she didn't carry the Xuanwu Seven Beads with her, since she came down the mountain, she has been storing the Xuanwu Seven Beads given by her master in the small wooden box in the room.

The Xuanwu Seven Beads are seven spirit beads, which are the lowest-level weapons of the Xuanwu Sect and have the smallest skill. The master saw that she was a girl, so he didn't teach her advanced martial arts. But if you hit seven spirit beads, the force will also consume some energy.

Song Lian moved to Xiao Min'er's side, quietly tugging at the corner of Xiao Min'er's clothes, Xiao Min'er glanced at Song Lian, and finally closed her mouth to stop whimpering.

She paused for a moment, then cautiously whispered, "Thief, if you steal something unknown, you might as well ... Let it be better to be obedient. "

Submission? Is it a case? …!!! …

Persuade the thieves to bring them to justice? When Song Lian heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, this little Min'er was afraid that she was stupid, right? And the words are misnomerous.

"Shut up!" The masked man unloaded the old burden from his shoulders and put it in the corner, paced around the room, listened to Xiao Min'er persuade him to return to the case, and glared at her fiercely.

Xiao Min'er looked at him, seemed to be frightened, and closed her mouth again.

"Don't be silent, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Just to take refuge from the limelight, I'm not leaving. After a while, the masked man seemed to calm down, and he spoke to them in a friendly tone.

"We had a relationship." After a moment of silence, the masked man whispered to Song Lian. When Song Lian heard this, she couldn't believe it, and looked at him suspiciously. Xiao Min'er was even more puzzled.

I saw the masked man, one hand slowly uncovering the black scarf, and what appeared in front of me was a familiar face...

"Huh...?" Song Lian was stunned, opened her mouth, pointed her finger at him, and couldn't speak for a long time.

It turned out that the masked man in front of her was the young man who helped her teach Yu Jin a lesson that day.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.

The young man panicked, Song Lian and Xiao Min'er were also flustered, and in a hurry, Song Lian pulled the young man to the back hall and hid him in the pyre.

Song Lian's heart, 'Bang Bang Bang' jumped wildly, like a flurry of drumming. She walked quickly to the door, took a deep breath, calmed herself, and glanced at Xiao Min'er again. Xiao Min'er hid behind the door, looking nervous.

Song Lian pulled out the bolt of the door and slowly opened the door, and Xiao Min'er's father and Yu Jin stood in front of the door.

It turned out that it wasn't the ones chasing the thieves, and Song Lian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Jia, what's the matter?" Song Lian held the door frame and asked softly. As soon as Xiao Min'er saw that it was her father, she immediately walked out from behind the door, as if she had been wronged by heaven, ran over, threw herself into Boss Jia's arms, and put her head on his chest, "Dad." "

"Just now, I heard that there were thieves, are you two okay?" Xiao Min'er's father stroked Xiao Min'er's head with his hand and asked with concern, Yu Jin on the side, blinking his rat eyes, also looked at Song Lian with concern.

"It's okay, thank you Uncle Jia and Brother Yu for your concern." Song Lian replied with a smile, but her eyes glanced outward.

Then he said to Xiao Min'er again, "Sister Min'er, you go back with your father, I'm fine alone." "

"It's... All right? Xiao Min'er's father looked at Song Lian with an uneasy look in his eyes, and asked, "You are alone, aren't you really afraid?" "

"Don't be afraid!" Song Lian smiled, her immature voice, and answered categorically. waved at Xiao Min'er again, Xiao Min'er didn't know why, and walked towards Song Lian in confusion.

Song Lian covered her mouth with her hand and whispered a few words. After Xiao Min'er listened, she nodded silently.

Song Lian told Xiao Min'er not to betray the young man, because he was kind to her.

Xiao Min'er's father, as an elder, instructed Song Lian again, and then he and Xiao Min'er, as well as Yu Jin, left with peace of mind.

Song Lian watched Xiao Min'er and the others go back to the house, and looked around carefully, but did not find anything unusual, so she carefully closed the door and bolted the door.

She came to the back hall, pushed aside the pyre, and whispered, "Come out." "

The young man stretched out his hand to lift the firewood, slowly stood up from the pyre, jumped out gently, patted the sawdust and dust on his body with his hand, and thanked Song Lian in a low voice, "Thank you!"

"It's time for me to go." The boy said. Seeing the steamed buns on the steamer, he walked over, took two steamed buns, put them in his arms, suddenly smiled, scratched his scalp, and laughed at himself, "It's all easy to take..."...

"But two steamed buns, not worth a few copper plates, don't care, it's a good gift." Song Lian saw his cute appearance, and couldn't help laughing.

When the boy heard this, he was at ease. He said, "The rivers and lakes are fateful, let's register each other's surnames, my name is Song Si, what about you?" "

"Coincidentally, a surname, my name is Song Lian." Song Lian blinked and smiled.

Song Siwang smiled gently, then walked to the corner of the gate, picked up the burden on the ground, and carried it on his shoulder.

He opened the door lightly, bent over and looked around with a wary look. He hugged his fist to Song Lian behind him and said, "There will be a period later!"

I saw him, a vigorous step out of the hundreds, as fast as lightning, steady and chic figure, disappeared into the night in an instant.
