After chatting in the Mingyue Teahouse for a while, it was almost time for dinner, and Zhu Yuan said: "Little Seventh Girl, why don't you go to your house for dinner, I haven't eaten your family's food for a long time, I remember that your mother's food is delicious." ”

Xiao Qi was just thinking about a meal, and the prince said it, if she refused, it would be too stingy.

And she herself was hungry, so she got up and said, "Let's go, my mother has come home quite early recently, and every night the meal is very rich." ”

Out of the Mingyue Teahouse, Xiao Qi saw two carriages parked outside, one of which was filled with gorgeous gift boxes, and knew that these things were used by Shizi to tie up her Niangniu clan, and it was likely that Shizi would stay in her house for a while like last time.

Zhu Ba walked up to Zhu Shizi and bowed down and said, "Shizi, everything is arranged." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Half an hour later, the two carriages arrived at the gate of Liufu in Beicheng.

This is the real Liufu, the two words Liufu on the plaque were written by Ah Fu, and in order to write these two words well, Ah Fu stayed up for several nights.

Xiao Qi jumped out of the carriage, and then remembered that she hadn't even said anything about moving, but the coachman drove the carriage to her new home, and couldn't help but say: "Hey, Zhu Shizi even knows that my family has moved to a new home, it's really amazing." ”

"As soon as our prince arrived in Pengzhou City, he went to the former Liufu to look for it, and he pounced on it, and then I inquired with others, and I learned that you had moved here." Zhu Ba looked proud, as if it was a powerful thing to inquire about the address of Xiao Qi's family.

In Liufu, Niu was busy in the stove for a while, and found that the ginger at home was gone, and she had to pick the ginger herself, because the quality of the ginger directly determined the quality of the dish, so Niu went to the courtyard gate in a hurry.

As soon as he stepped out of the hospital gate, he saw two carriages parked outside the gate, and Niu noticed a carriage behind him, and the various gift boxes on it were very beautiful.

On the carriage in front, Zhu Shizi, Xiao Qi, and Feng Yulang jumped out of the carriage one after another.

As soon as Niu Shi saw Zhu Shizi, he understood that the things on the carriage behind him must have been for her, alas, Zhu Shizi is really good at being a man! The last time I stayed at home, I didn't miss anything.

It's not too early, and when she gets back to make dinner, she can open the gift box, and she can already predict that every time she opens it, it will be a big surprise.

After dinner, Zhu Yuan made an excuse to stay, exactly as Xiao Qi guessed.

After Niu opened the gift box that surprised her, she specially sent a little maid and a small maid to Zhu Yuan.

The Niu family thought about it, anyway, the yard they bought now is big enough, and the prince of Huainan is not a stingy person, leaving him at home is only good for their family.

On the second day, when Xiao Qi went to patrol the street, a young man ran over in a panic and threw himself in front of Xiao Qi.

Feng Yulang helped the young man up, "I know you all admire my master, but my master is very good, and he doesn't like others kneeling down to her." ”

The young man panted and looked crumbling, "Oh no, there is a big python in Qingyun Mountain in the north, and my companion is injured." ”

When Xiao Qi heard that there was a big python, he felt that the matter was a little urgent, so he hurriedly followed the young man to Qingyun Mountain.

On the way, the young man told me what had happened.

It turned out that the young man's name was Ah Chai, who lived in Qingyun Village at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and made a living selling firewood on weekdays.

This morning, he and a companion in the village, Ah Xun, went to Qingyun Mountain to chop firewood, and then met a big python about ten zhang long, and his companion was injured, so he went down the mountain to find someone to help.

Xiao Qi was a little puzzled: "Why don't you go back to Qingyun Village first to ask for help from the villagers?" ”

"Now that the environment in the city is better, the young people in our village basically come to the city to do business during the day, and there are only some old and weak women and children left in the village, so they can't help much."

Because Ah Chai often goes to the mountains to chop firewood, he is very familiar with the mountains, and soon took Xiao Qi and Feng Yulang to find his companion Ah Xun.

Ah Xun leaned against a big tree, looking like he should be injured.

Xiao Qi stepped forward to check and asked Ah Xun, "Where did you get hurt?" ”

Ah Xun had a painful look on his face: "I fell and twisted my foot, and it hurts a little." ”

Xiao Qisi looked around, saw that most of the grass nearby was lying on the ground, and asked, "Where did the python go?" ”

When it comes to the python, Ah Xun is still a little frightened, "It crawls very fast, and I don't know where it crawled." ”

Ah Chai couldn't believe it, pointed to Ah Xun's bleeding knee and asked, "Ah Xun, didn't the big snake attack you?" ”

"No, I fell on my own knee, and I was so scared when I saw the python."

Xiao Qi asked Ah Chai and Zhang Guozi to help Ah Xun return to Qingyun Village, and she herself went back to the yamen and reported the matter to Master Wang, when a big python suddenly appeared, and this matter must be known to the prefect.

Master Wang was taken aback, "Are you sure there is a giant python?" ”

Xiao Qi: "I checked the nearby grass and trees, and they were all lying on the ground, probably really pressed by the python." ”

Master Wang's face was solemn: "I grew up in Pengzhou since I was a child, and I have never heard of a big python infested nearby, little seventh girl, don't worry, I will report this matter to the prefect as soon as possible." ”

On the second day, after Xiao Qi arrived at the Yamen, Master Wang conveyed the words of the prefect.

The prefect of Mu asked the catchers to inform the people from several villages near Qingyun Mountain not to go to the mountains, so as not to be injured by the giant python.

also asked Xiao Qi to take people to check near Qingcheng Mountain, in case a big python comes out again, to see if there is any way to get rid of it.

However, the prefect also informed General Lu of this matter, and General Lu personally went to Qingyun Mountain with his right-hand men.

Xiao Qilang took Feng Yulang and a few people to several nearby villages early in the morning, and also went to Pengcheng Temple.

Master Tianyin had already left, and the abbot heard that someone from the yamen had come, so he came out to see Xiao Qi in person.

The abbot's beard was about half a foot long, and he was wearing a red robe, with a kind smile on his face, and he seemed very approachable, and his tone of voice was not hurried or dry:

"Why is this little benefactor here?"

Xiao Qi hugged his fist: "Under is the head catcher of Pengzhou City, surnamed Liu, today I came to inform the abbot that some mountain people found a giant python in the mountain, and I hope that the monks in the temple will be careful when entering and leaving." ”

The abbot's face was very calm, and he did not look surprised, holding a staff in one hand and holding a palm in front of his chest with the other, and said slowly: "Amitabha, all things are equal, if the giant python does not hurt people's lives, please also show mercy to Liu Zhutou's subordinates." ”

Since Xiao Qi knew about the existence of the giant python yesterday, he only thought about getting rid of the giant python, and never thought that there was a second way to choose.

Now after listening to the abbot's words, it suddenly dawned on me, yes, the giant python didn't hurt the woodcutter yesterday, it's really strange.

Let's see when the time comes, take one step at a time, and if the python really won't hurt people's lives, you can also consider letting the python go.

Over there, General Lu took a hundred people, carrying the bows and crossbows used in the army, and searched the mountains for a long time, but found nothing, but this is not surprising, because Qingyun Mountain is very large, if you want to turn over the entire mountain, it will take at least five or six days.
