Jiang Tuhu had two sons.

The two sons have been trading with their parents since they were eight or nine years old, and they have all practiced a good knife technique of deboning and cutting meat.

Time has passed, and after coming to Xi'an, they can only catch a big car. Listening to the gurgling sound of the wheels every day, after a few years, they feel that they have also become wheels.

Therefore, when Xiao Ren asked them to follow Shen Tong, they didn't even say polite words, and left without hesitation.

As soon as the day dawned, Jiang Da's car walked on the street of Xi'an City.

In the early morning, the number of people coming and going on the street gradually increased, some carrying burdens, some driving cars, some in a hurry to get out of the city, and some wanted to set up stalls.

Jiang Da shook the big whip in his hand, majestic, and sang in a big slag-like accent: "The trough head leads the white dragon horse, scrubs and washes the saddle dragon, the three yellow belly belts are tight and tight, and the horses have to open their mouths to cross ......"

The people on the street were in a hurry, and Jiang Da's loud voice was particularly loud.

The car drove to the academy street, and the academy street was very lively in the early morning, and it was full of students studying in the academy. Most people have not yet gotten up at this hour, but they have to go to the academy early to read in the morning.

Ambassador Jiang shook his whip vigorously, but the few young people in front of him still made trouble as if they didn't hear it, and Jiang scolded in his mouth: "Which academy is this, how do you manage the students, if this is my family's cub, I would have slapped the thatched house a long time ago." ”

Scolding and scolding, the car could only follow these children slowly and leisurely, Jiang Da looked around boredly, and suddenly, he saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing on the side of the road. The little boy was still carrying a schoolbag, but he didn't look like he was in a hurry to go to school, and he was holding a meat bun in his hand and nibbling it fragrantly.

"Student, get in the car, uncle will take you to the school!" Jiang Da changed his loud voice just now, and when he talked to the reader, of course he had to be polite.

The little boy who was gnawing on the meat bun smiled and bent his eyes, jumped into the car with his hands and feet, and sat in the car without spending money, of course he was happy.

Jiang Da sniffed, it was so fragrant! A small hand reached over, and in the hand was a meat bun wrapped in oiled paper: "Car money." ”

Jiang Da took the meat bun, took a bite, and the cart turned a corner, and instead of going to the academy, it drove in the opposite direction.

The little boy in the car looked back and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, you are really being targeted, is your family really famous?" ”

Jiang Da said proudly: "Miss Shen must not have been outside the customs, you will inquire outside the customs another day, who dares to say that you don't know our Jiang family, who is a hammer!" ”

"Well, I can see that as soon as we got out of Academy Street, we were targeted."

The little boy in the car was Shen Tong.

Shen Tong didn't understand what the stick hammer had to do with this, but Jiang Da's voice was clear, the Jiang family was very famous, and several butchers were also famous, so as long as they stared at the butchers, they could find the person they were looking for.

"Phew, those turtle grandchildren, I felt it before I arrived at Academy Street, Miss Shen, you may not believe it, if you say that I feel this way, it is really fucking accurate, although I don't know where the person who is watching is, but I can feel it." Jiang Da ate the meat bun in a few bites.

The city gate had been opened, Jiang Da's car went out of the city smoothly, and in the afternoon, the big car finally came to a small village.

As soon as the car entered the village, a group of children surrounded them, some of them ran beside the car, some followed the car, and a child asked Shen Tong who was sitting in the car curiously: "You are going to Jiang Erche's house, right?" ”

Shen Tong smiled and said, "How do you know?" ”

"A big car like yours, Jiang Erche also has it at home." The child said.

Jiang Er was also in a hurry, and the children had seen Jiang Er driving the car, and now they saw another big car entering the village, so they guessed that they were looking for Jiang Er.

"In addition to Jiang Erche's house, are there any other big cars entering the village?" Shen Tong asked.

"There are no big cars." One of the children said.

"Someone is riding a horse, and they are also here to find Jiang Erche." Another child said.

Shen Tong asked curiously, "Then did they find Jiang Erche?" ”

"No, Jiang Erche's daughter-in-law chased them out with a kitchen knife." The kid said.

"Yes, I also saw it, Jiang Erche's daughter-in-law is so fierce!"

Shen Tong laughed, those people's noses were really smart, and they actually found this small village.

Jiang Da parked the cart in front of a house, he jumped out of the cart and entered the door, leaving Shen Tong alone in the car.

A moment later, Jiang Da walked out of the door, followed by a young daughter-in-law with long legs and a thin waist.

The young daughter-in-law jumped into the cart, Jiang Da threw the whip again, and the cart creaked out of the village.

This time, they did not drive on the official road, but walked on a small road, and the daughter-in-law sat beside Jiang Da, constantly pointing, she was leading the way.

After walking for about half an hour, the cart stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the young daughter-in-law and the young man got off one after another, but Jiang Da drove the carriage to another road, where there was a small stream, and the grass was green by the stream, so he parked the cart by the stream, took off his clothes, and jumped into the stream to take a bath.

On the other road, Shen Tong followed Jiang's second daughter-in-law onto the mountain road.

The mountain here is not steep, and there are stone steps along the mountain road, which winds and turns.

The stone steps are no longer halfway up the mountain, and there is a small nunnery halfway up the mountain.

In the early years, there was a temple here, famous far and wide, and the incense was very prosperous, and this stone staircase road was built at that time. One year, the temple ran out of water, and the entire temple was burned, along with the monks inside.

A few years later, a nun came here and built a nunnery on the site of the temple.

After the nunnery was built, the nuns didn't know where they went, there were good men and women who came to burn incense, the gate of the nunnery was closed, and the iron general put the door, and there was no incense here.

Occasionally, the nun would come back and stay for a while, only to disappear again at some point.

The last time the locals saw the nun was ten years ago, and the nun had not returned for ten years, and it was unknown if she had long since died.

Originally, the temple here was called Shanlin Temple, and the nuns also saved trouble, using a ready-made name, and this nunnery was called Shanlin Temple.

The locals mentioned the mountain lin'an, but changed the name to Suomun-an.

Because the door is locked all year round, it is called the lock gate hermitage.

Shen Tong was here for the first time, Jiang's second daughter-in-law took out the key and skillfully opened the lock on the door, she looked around and said to Shen Tong: "Girl, go in, I'll watch outside." ”

Shen Tong said: "You are too eye-catching here, you better go down the mountain first, A-Niang has no martial arts, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Jiang's second daughter-in-law was still a little uneasy, and persuaded her a few more words, but Shen Tong insisted on letting her leave, and in desperation, Jiang's second daughter-in-law had to go down the mountain along the stone steps.

The mountains are cooler than Xi'an, the mountain road is dotted with wildflowers on both sides, Jiang's second daughter-in-law is still young, it is the age of Aiqiao, she is not in a hurry to go down the mountain, while humming a little song, while picking wild flowers.

In fact, she walked on this mountain road every day, but she never paid attention to the scenery on the mountain, and it was not until today that she realized that the grass was so green and the flowers were so fragrant.

The young daughter-in-law strolled through the mountains and was as happy as a child.

Someone walked along the mountain road, and saw the slender figure from a distance, which was really pleasing to the eye.

The lock door hermitage did not lock the door, but inserted it from the inside.

There is only one main hall in the nunnery, the main hall is dedicated to the Guanyin monk, Shen Tong bowed in front of the Guanyin master, and then passed through the main hall, behind the main hall is a small courtyard, and there are three rooms in the courtyard.

Shen Tong coughed lightly, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walked out, and when she saw Shen Tong, she sighed and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Shen Tong smiled: "You are Adan, Jiang's second daughter-in-law brought me here, and I came to see my mother." ”

The girl had obviously been instructed a long time ago, so she only hummed and shouted into the house, "Ah Shuang, the owner is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, another girl came out of the house, the two of them were the same tall and stout, with the same thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they were exactly the same.

Shen Tong took out a silver ingot from his body, threw it to the one named Adan, and said, "Go to the village to buy some wine and food, I want to have a good reunion with A-Niang today." ”

"Okay, there is herbal tea in the house, the owner pours tea and drinks it himself, and our sisters will come back in a while." Ah Dan took the silver and pulled Ah Shuang out of the door.

It is said that it will come back in a while, in fact, it is five or six miles away from the nearest village, not to mention that you have to walk the mountain road, and it would be good to be able to rush back before dark.

Shen Tong looked at the small courtyard in front of him, the yard was planted with flowers and plants, and it was cleaned up, and the air was filled with a faint smell of incense, which covered the fragrance of flowers.

Shen Tong stepped over the threshold, and after staying outside for a long time, the room seemed very dark, and a woman was sitting under the window, her eyes were like torches, staring at the door.

The afternoon sun shone on her head and body, outlining her outline, she sat against the light, Shen Tong couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could feel her gaze fall on her.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Shen Tong asked.

"Hmph." Huang smiled coldly, don't look over, and don't look at Shen Tong anymore.

Shen Tong walked up to her, stood for a while, and then sat down on the edge of the kang.

"A-Niang, I really didn't kill Lang Yue, really, please believe me."

"Let me believe you? How do you make me believe in you? I raised you with hard work, but you will take revenge! You killed Lang Yue and locked me up here, what are your intentions? It may be that Shen Tong's calm expression angered Huang, her voice trembled, but tears flowed involuntarily.

On that day, she was taken out of the Shen family on Shuyuan Street, and I don't know how long she walked, changing places along the way, until a few days later, late at night, she was brought here.

She only knew that there was a bodhisattva here, but she didn't know whether this was a temple or a nunnery, let alone which mountain or town it was.

Every day, someone will bring fresh fruits and vegetables, and the twin sisters will serve her to eat, drink and live, but they are not ordinary maids, they know martial arts, in addition to serving her, they use martial arts to pass the time.

There was no well in the courtyard, and two maids jumped in and out of the wall carrying buckets full of water, and Huang asked them who they were, and the two maids smiled and said, "We are bandits, bandits who kill people without blinking." ”

Huang didn't dare to ask anymore.

"Ah Niang, Ah Shan and Ah Shuang take good care of you, if there is anything bad, you tell me, and I will talk about them." Shen Tong said.

Huang stopped talking, she gritted her teeth, but her body trembled with anger.

"A-Niang, believe it or not, I really didn't kill Lang Yue. Although you are not my own mother, but Lang Yue is your own flesh and blood, how could I do something that makes you sad. Shen Tong said this, lowered her head, she bit her lip, and couldn't say any more.

Suddenly, Huang stood up, she walked up to Shen Tong, grabbed Shen Tong's arm, and didn't know where she got the strength, and dragged Shen Tong up.

"You said that you didn't kill Lang Yue, then you swear with me in front of the Bodhisattva, if you kill Lang Yue, then your intestines will rot, and you will not be able to live after death, do you dare?"

In the silent nunnery, Huang's voice was particularly sharp, the windows were open, and several mountain birds were frightened, flapping their wings and fluttering away.

Shen Tong looked down at Huang's hand that was holding her arm, and it didn't take many days for Huang's originally slender and white hand to become yellow and dry, and the back of his hand was covered with green tendons.

"A-Niang, I don't have to swear, I can prove that I didn't kill your biological son, the real orphan of the Shen family." Every word she uttered was forceful, as if she was enduring the pain of her heart.

"Can you prove it? Did you bring Lang Yue here? A flash of ecstasy flashed in Huang's eyes.

Shen Tong shook his head: "No, I didn't bring him, but I know where he is, and I know better that he is alive." ”

"Where is he, where is he, you say it quickly, you say it quickly!" Huang said that later, he was hoarse.

"I'm in the Meng family. A Qingdao man asked the assassin to follow the show girl into the palace, the show girl was Miss Meng family, for this matter, Mrs. Meng was dead, but the Meng family still carried the disaster, Master Meng hated a Qingdao man, but as soon as the Qingdao man died, he could only take revenge on Lang Yue. After Lang Yue escaped from me, he went to the Meng family, and now Master Meng has locked him up. ”

Shen Tong said quickly, this was something she didn't want to say but had to say, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength before she finally said it.

"He's in the Meng family? The Meng family? What will the Meng family do to him, will they kill him, will they ......" The hand that grabbed Shen Tong's arm fell weakly, and the Huang family took a few steps back and sat on the edge of the kang in a dejected manner.

There was a faint sound outside the window, like wind and birds, but the two people in the room apparently didn't hear it.

"Master Meng is a ruthless person, in order to kill his mouth, he killed and sold the servants in the family, and those who have been in the Meng family for decades have children, and they will kill them when they say they will kill them, without mercy." Shen Tong sighed, the Meng family caused the disaster of raiding the family and destroying the door, not to mention killing a few people, even killing all the insiders, it was also worth it for the Meng family.

What's more, it's Lang Yue, just a child.

"A-Niang, it's not that I don't save him, it's that I don't dare, I don't dare." Shen Tong said sadly.
