At this time, the moon had not yet fully risen, and there were many trees on the mountain, and it was almost completely dark under the shade of the trees. By the time the small candles in the lantern were burned, Su Jinyao could already see the bright light from the windows of every house in Pingshan Village in front of her.

Finally, the candle burned out, and finally burned to the paper, almost burning the lantern. Su Jinyao hurriedly blew out the lantern and threw it away, and at the same time jumped off the horse and pulled the horse back.

Although Su Jinyao's riding skills are good, it is not wise to ride a horse in such a dark (qíng) situation. What's more, she is home not far ahead, she has no reason to risk rushing for time, and she will still suffer the same crime if she has an accident.

That is, after walking a meal, I entered the village. Su Jinyao sped up her pace and walked home.

It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she pulled the horse into the courtyard, she saw Wang Changliang walking out of the house, and he was still unhappy, as if he had eaten feces and urine.

Su Jinyao didn't know what Wang Changliang was doing again suddenly, and stood at the door with the horse, but she didn't mean to say hello.

Wang Changliang's face was terrible, but when he suddenly saw Su Jinyao coming back with a horse, he immediately turned his smile and said, "Jinyao, are you back?" I'm just a little bit better, and I'm coming to see you. ”

"我 (tǐng) Okay, don't look at it. You are not welcome in my house, please go back. After Su Jinyao finished coldly, she let go of the door and made a "please" gesture.

Wang Changliang's face changed, but in the end, he endured it and didn't have a seizure. It's just that when I passed by Su Jinyao (shēn), I looked at her twice, and that look made Su Jinyao particularly annoying.

As soon as Su Jinyao pulled the reins of the horse, the big black horse suddenly snorted and kicked his hooves.

Wang Changliang was close to Su Jinyao, but he didn't guard against the big dark horse suddenly moving. Startled, the (shēn) child flashed backwards, and a stumbling stumbled against the door frame.

Wang Changliang came back to his senses, only to find that he looked a little embarrassed, pointed at Su Jinyao and said loudly: "You...... Jinyao, you did it on purpose. ”

"The horse has to move, how can I pull it? Brother Changliang, don't worry about a beast. It's like I'm too lazy to take care of animals. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she led the horse straight into the courtyard. tied the horse, turned back and closed the courtyard door, and locked Wang Changliang out of the door.

"Hmph" Wang Changliang snorted coldly and strode away.

Su Jinyao didn't pay attention to him, went directly to Su Xiangui's house to say hello, and said as soon as she entered the door: "Dad, I'm back." It's not too late. ”

Su Xiangui's face is not good, and it is estimated that it is also because of Wang Changliang. But seeing that Su Jinyao was back, she still turned her smile and said, "It's not early, my father is worried." On such a dark day, how dangerous it is for you to ride a horse and walk back from the mountains. ”

"It's okay, the aunt who makes the clothes gave me a small lantern, and there was a lit one along the way, and it wasn't too difficult to walk." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she handed the burden of clothes to Su Xiangui and said, "Dad, try new clothes." I guess I can also combine (shēn). I still have some things outside that I haven't packed up, so I'll eat when I'm done. ”

"Hey, go ahead." Su Xiangui took over the burden, and his face completely improved. After all, this dress was Su Jinyao's heart, and she had traveled a long way to get it back, no matter how angry she was, it was now gone.

When Su Jinyao left Su Xiangui's house, she went to the saddle and took off the dried cloth pocket (ròu) and went into the kitchen. As soon as I entered, I saw Sophie squatting under the stove, holding her knees and burying her head, sobbing quietly.

Su Jinyao knew that Sophie must be like this, but she didn't know why Wang Changliang had such a stinky face, so she walked over and hung the (ròu) dry on the beam, and asked with a cry: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Did Wang Changliang bully you? ”

"No, it's fine." Sophie quickly wiped her tears, raised her head and said, "He didn't bully me, he just came to talk to me...... said that he didn't like me anymore, and he was going to be engaged to Sister Qiuhong. ”

"Huh? You're crying for this? Su Jinyao almost raised her foot to kick Su Fei'er, gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you so unproductive, didn't you say that you broke off with him?" What kind of thing is this, it's clear that he's here to provoke. (ài) Whoever you are engaged to betrothed to go, and what are you doing when you come to tell you? Eldest sister, you haven't thought about it, how scumbag he is like this? I know that you like him, and now you still run to say this kind of thing, but he doesn't have half a (qíng) share with you. ”

Su Fei'er listened to Su Jinyao's gritted teeth, and her tears fell again, and she said while wiping her tears: "It's that I'm not promising, and I feel uncomfortable when I hear Brother Changliang say that he wants to be engaged to Sister Qiuhong." But I didn't cry at the time, I also told Brother Changliang that he should go if he wanted to marry whoever he wanted to marry, and I wouldn't expect him to marry me again. But after Brother Changliang left, I still felt uncomfortable, so I wondered, why is Sister Qiuhong? Sister Qiu Hong and I are usually so good, but if she marries Brother Changliang, I'm afraid I won't be able to get along with her. ”

"You weren't crying? Did he cry after he was gone? When Su Jinyao heard Sophie say this, she felt that she might be wrong to blame Sophie. Then he asked, "Did you really tell him that you were going to break it?" ”

"yes. I was in my father's house at the time, and Brother Changliang still said these words in front of my father. I also replied to him in front of my father. However, he ...... How could he say such a thing to his father? Sophie still cried, wiping her tears and crying even harder.

Su Jinyao was really angry, and said fiercely: "Wang Changliang is really too deceitful. Since he dares to come and say such things to you in front of his father, he is slapping his father in the face. This account is not well calculated with him......"

Speaking of this, Su Jinyao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Su Fei'er: "What about Xiaocheng'er?" Why haven't I seen him since I came back? ”

"Huh? I don't know. He had been feeding the sheep in the yard. Didn't you come back and see him? Sophie was also stunned, shook her head and said she didn't know, obviously just crying and forgetting about the small city.

"It's over." As soon as Su Jinyao stomped her foot, she immediately understood that Xiao Cheng'er must have heard these words in the courtyard. Now he must be secretly blocking Wang Changliang.

"Eldest sister, don't cry, otherwise my father will be even more upset when he sees it. Wash my face, put the meal in my father's house, and I'll go to the little town and come back for dinner. Su Jinyao ran out as she spoke, for fear that Xiaocheng'er would suffer a loss if she chased it late.

Su Jinyao knew the general direction of the Chen family, but she didn't know that Xiaocheng'er would hide in that alley and sneak attack Wang Changliang. Pingshan Village is not big, the families are close to each other, and the backyard walls of several families are connected together to form a small alley, and it is still dark at night, so she can't look for it one by one.

Calculating the time, Su Jin Yaosuo (xìng) ran directly towards Chen's house. If Xiaocheng'er was ambushed on the road and sneak attacked, Wang Changliang might not have landed all at once. Maybe there will be movement when the two of them fight, and Su Jinyao can find the sound.

But until she ran back to Chen's house, Su Jinyao didn't hear any special sounds, let alone fights.

Su Jinyao frowned and thought about it, could it be that Xiaocheng'er didn't find a chance to sneak attack? Or has he already succeeded, and he killed Wang Changliang quietly? However, Xiaoshu is only nine years old now, Wang Changliang is sixteen, and he is much taller than teenagers of the same age, so the first one may be relatively large, and the second may be almost none.

But Su Jinyao didn't go back to look for it immediately, but approached the Chen family, intending to listen to the movement inside and confirm it again. Sure enough, I heard Wang Changliang's voice, which seemed to be talking to his grandfather. However, the distance was still a little far, and the specific content of what the two said could not be heard clearly.

Since Wang Changliang has gone home, it proves that Xiaocheng'er really didn't succeed; It shouldn't be Wang Changliang who killed Xiaocheng'er without a sound. After all, Wang Changliang is not a ruthless killer, and he also knows Xiaocheng'er. Even if Xiao Cheng'er held a rolling pin to stop him from making a move, he wouldn't kill him.

But where to find the town now? There shouldn't be anything near Chen's house, otherwise he hurriedly ran over, and Xiaocheng'er could see it even if he was hiding in the dark. It is impossible to hide in the alley in the distance, if he hides too far, he will not be able to see Wang Changliang when he comes back, and there will be no point in sneak attack.

Therefore, Su Jinyao felt that Xiaocheng'er should have left this neighborhood. Coming home? Or have you gone somewhere else? Or ......

Su Jinyao suddenly remembered that when she came back last night, Daddy Gao was waiting for her on the road with Xiaocheng'er. Later, before breaking up, he also said to Xiao Cheng'er: If there is anything in the future, come to Daddy Gao, and Daddy will help you find a way.

Could it be that Xiaocheng'er went to find Daddy Gao?

Su Jinyao decided to look for it in the bamboo forest, the big deal was to run more, anyway, she came back late before, and Xiaocheng'er ran around to find her, but now that Xiaocheng'er didn't go home, she, the second sister, should also make more efforts.

Su Jinyao ran all the way, and as soon as she walked into the mountain col and before she reached the bamboo forest, she saw two people walking over in front of her. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Su Jinyao, who was in the shape of Xiaocheng'er, couldn't be mistaken, so she hurriedly shouted: "Xiaocheng'er." ”

"Second sister, why are you here?" Xiao Cheng'er also saw the person coming from the opposite side, and when he heard Su Jinyao's voice, he confirmed that it was her, and hurriedly ran over. Facing Su Jinyao, he said: "I'm going back, I can't lose it, you don't have to come out to find me when it gets dark in the future." ”

Father Gao also walked over and said with a smile: "Yes, it's okay, Xiaocheng'er is here to say a few words." When I saw that it was getting late, I was going to send him home. ”

Su Jinyao said: "Then thank you Daddy Gao." In front of Xiaocheng'er, Su Jinyao was embarrassed to call "uncle" directly. Then he asked Xiao Cheng'er: "Do you know that the family will be worried, why are you running all the way here?" ”

"I ......" Xiao Cheng'er pursed his lips and stopped talking, probably not wanting to lie.

Su Jinyao said: "When I came back, I happened to meet Wang Changliang going out, did you listen to what he and the eldest sister said?" ”

Now that Su Jinyao knew that Wang Changliang was coming, Xiao Cheng'er didn't hide it and said, "Yes." I was so angry that I wanted to teach him a lesson. But after walking two streets out of the door, I felt that something was wrong, and it would be a few years before my little (shēn) board could deal with him. If you rush out recklessly now, you will feel sorry for me if he beats you, and you will have to spend money to hire a doctor. ”

Hearing Xiao Cheng'er say this, Su Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief. Touched his head and said: "That's right, there is a saying that 'it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years', and he is not in a hurry to clean up Wang Changliang at this time." You deserve credit for not acting recklessly today. ”

"Compliments? Second sister, what good things did you bring back? "Xiaocheng'er is still young after all, and he forgot his original anger after saying a few words.

Su Jinyao didn't answer him immediately, but said, "I'll tell you when I go home." Then he said to Daddy Gao, "Thank you for taking care of my brother." How is Gu Xuebin? Does a medicated bath work? ”

Father Gao shook his head and said, "I didn't see any special effect, it's just ...... (shēn) on the medicinal smell is too big. Jinyao, this potion won't do anything else, right? ”

"No, I asked a good doctor in advance, and he also said that the smell of this medicine is relatively large, but the effect will be very good. Today is the first time to brew, there is no effect but it is better, it is milder than the fierce medicine, and it will not hurt the (shēn) body. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, Father Gao seemed relieved.

Su Jinyao said: "It's not too early, let's go back first." Tell Gu Xuebin not to worry, this medicine is like this. Adjust the formula slowly, and the effect will become more and more obvious. ”

"Okay, go back, be careful on the road. If you two brothers and sisters are companions, I won't give them away. Father Gao waved his hand and motioned for Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er to go back quickly.

The two siblings said goodbye again, and then walked back.

On the way, Su Jinyao asked Xiao Cheng'er: "Second sister asked you, why are you running this way if you are not happy?" ”

Xiao Cheng'er said honestly: "Originally, I was going to find my second brother-in-law to help me fight with a stuffy stick." But when Daddy Gao came, he said that his second brother-in-law was asleep, and Daddy Gao said to send me back, and that's how you worked, you came. ”

"I thought you were here to ask Daddy Gao to teach you kung fu to take revenge." Su Jinyao smiled, and wondered in her heart how true Daddy Gao said that Gu Xuebin slept with him? Because Gu Xuebin said before that Su Jinyao would wait for him, he would come at night. I guess it's for Daddy, so I'm pretending to be asleep.

"I also said let Daddy Gao teach me kung fu." Xiao Cheng'er said seriously: "Father Gao also agreed." However, he said that this is not in a hurry, (rì) accumulate and practice hard. ”

"Well, Daddy Gao's kung fu is good, you and him should learn hard. The second sister can teach you everything she can teach you. However, today the second sister will tell you that the kung fu taught by the second sister should not be used easily, because ...... It's all a murderous trick, and I'll save it for the last resort. Su Jinyao finally decided to tell the truth to Xiao Cheng'er.

First, it was because she was very satisfied with Xiao Cheng'er's performance today, which proved that Xiao Cheng'er was not such a reckless child; Second, telling Xiao Cheng'er in advance that these tricks are killer moves, and it also saves him from using them when he doesn't know (qíng) in the future, which will cause trouble.

Xiao Cheng'er was stunned for a moment, looked up at Su Jinyao, and then asked, "Second sister, this is also what your mother taught you?" ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "If the second sister said that I met an old immortal, he taught me, and then cured my stupidity, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Believe. There are all kinds of masters in the world, such as Daddy Gao, who is a hidden person. The second brother-in-law is not very old, but his kung fu is actually good. If you want to say that you have an adventure, second sister, I don't think it's strange. After all, the second sister used to be so stupid, but now she is suddenly better and so capable. In fact, the entire Pingshan Village is saying behind the scenes that our Su family burned high incense, or you met a fairy. ”

Xiao Cheng'er didn't seem surprised, but gladly accepted the explanation. Su Jinyao didn't know if this was because children were more simple and easy to deceive, or if Xiao Cheng'er's head had too many strange ideas.

However, it is better for someone to know a little bit of his past (qíng) than for Su Jinyao to be stuffy in his heart alone. Life has started anew, and those forgotten pasts really seem like a story. Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er talked while walking, and they arrived at the head of the village in a blink of an eye. Xiao Cheng'er looked in the direction of the Chen family, clenched his little fist and gritted his teeth and said, "Second sister, I will definitely not let go of Wang Changliang." I used to think that he was still human, but now I think that he is a guy with a human face and a beast's heart. Fortunately, you saw through it, otherwise the eldest sister would have suffered his loss. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Originally, the last time you beat him, it can be regarded as a lesson for him, so I don't want to pursue it anymore." But now that he dares to bully us into our house, I won't bypass him. The second sister knows this in her heart, so don't get involved. On the contrary, today I went to Guyushu Town and saw all the examples of the government-run schools. There are still a few days left, you can study hard again, and you must be admitted. ”

Xiao Cheng'er has always been sensible and ambitious, nodded and said, "I know, I must take the exam well, and study hard after the exam." Although Wang Changliang is hateful, I am still young after all. If you can't deal with him, second sister, just wait for me to grow up, take the top exam and become an official, and come back and arrest him. ”

Su Jinyao smiled after hearing this, pinched Xiao Cheng'er's nose and said, "You became an official, but you came back for a personal vendetta for the small feud and grudge of the year?" Then you're not a good official anymore, so you might as well not do it. ”

"Huh? Oh, yes, they all say, 'It's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes if you don't want to be an official, you don't want to be a good official.' But he will definitely not let go of Wang Changliang. Xiao Cheng'er scratched the back of her head and grimaced at Su Jinyao.

As he spoke, he was almost home. Su Jinyao pulled Xiaocheng'er and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about it after you go home, don't let your father and eldest sister be upset." Let's just say that you saw that I didn't come back, and went to pick me up, but it went wrong, not to mention that you heard Wang Changliang's words. Otherwise, Dad can guess that you are resentful, and he will be worried. ”

Xiao Cheng'er nodded, and said in a loud voice that he knew. Su Jinyao entered the door with him.
