1. Assassination in a rice field
Hao Xiangxiang felt strange, why when she lowered her head to harvest rice, Fei Dutou always stared at her, and looked around vigilantly from time to time.
Is there any difference between today and the past?
Looking up at the sky, the white clouds floated, and the sunlight shone down through the gaps in the thick clouds, illuminating the vast rice waves. The wind blew, and the rice waves rolled and made a nice rustling sound.
This voice means a good harvest, it means abundance; It also means that the farmers have worked hard for a year, and the hard work has not been in vain; It also means that the Hao family can provide more than half of the grain for the entire Wu Shu Kingdom, which means the status and glory of the Hao family in the Wu Shu Kingdom.
Hao Xiangxiang lowered her head and quietly glanced at Fei Du's head, his face was dark, his body was straight, his nose was hooked, and his eyes were cold.
Hao Xiangxiang is not afraid of Fei Dutou. He is indeed extremely powerful - one of the few eighth-level masters in Wu Shu Kingdom. But Hao Xiangxiang is not afraid of him, because he is a strict wife, and his wife, Aunt Fei, is beside Hao Xiangxiang, teaching her hand-in-hand and skillfully harvesting rice with her.
Aunt Fei is the head of the entire Hao manor. She is a capable and pungent person, and she has affinity, and people are afraid of her and love her. She is very fond of Hao Xiangxiang, and she is pampered to the point of being unprincipled. Therefore, Xiangxiang is in Hao's manor, acting arbitrarily and recklessly, and can go sideways.
"What's going on today?" Hao Xiangxiang quietly asked Aunt Fei, "Why does the master keep staring at me?" ”
Fei Dutou is Hao Xiangxiang's master and taught her martial arts since she was a child.
Before Aunt Fei could answer, Hao Xiangxiang said again: "I'm not a beauty, what does he think of me?" Master, what do you say? Hee-hee-hee-hee......"
Aunt Fei pinched her thin arm, "Heh, Xiangxiang, you are very fat, dare to make fun of the master and the mother!" Go back and let your master teach you a good lesson, and punish you to soak in the cold pool for three days. ”
"Oh, the master is so ruthless! Hantan, is that a place where people can go? Speaking of Hantan, Xiangxiang felt palpitations in her heart.
Hantan is on the top of the cold mountain, between the snow. In order to train Hao Xiangxiang's internal strength, Fei Dutou would carry her every month, fly to the top of Hanshan Mountain with light skills, and throw her into the cold pool. Hao Xiangxiang shivered with cold, and wanted to climb ashore again and again, but was slapped back by the master's strong palm again and again. In despair, Hao Xiangxiang had no choice but to hold back her tears and secretly recite her heart to fight against the cold of Hantan.
After a few hours, when she was almost dying and unconscious, the master would take her out. If you soak it for three days, it must be frozen hard!
Suffering so much every month, Hao Xiangxiang's internal strength is already quite good. The daily four seasons change alternately between cold and summer, and for Hao Xiangxiang, she no longer feels anything, she only wears a thin shirt all year round.
Hao Xiangxiang understands that in fact, Fei Dutou is not the most ruthless, but her grandmother, Mrs. Hao, is the most ruthless. According to her requirements, in addition to practicing every day, Hao Xiangxiang also needs to follow Fei Damiang to do farm work, which is more than the most powerful farmer, and does everything, plowing the fields, sowing seeds and transplanting seedlings, building embankments, and dredging rivers...... Every day, like livestock, there is almost no farm work on this farm that she does not know.
Hao Xiangxiang, she really doesn't live like a rich child, watching her work with the farmers every day, eating and drinking, and even lying on the ground to rest and chat, and talking foul language, really, she really doesn't look like a wealthy lady.
Hao Xiangxiang was spoiled by her master, and when she thought about it, a bubble popped up.
"Master, you don't have to worry, the master is staring at me, it's safe, I'm an ugly girl in the famous four towns, it's better to look at me than to look at the woman in Camellia Street." Hao Xiangxiang grinned evilly.
"Oh, stinky and fragrant, how can you compare yourself to the woman on Camellia Street? The women on Camellia Street are all sluts! "Aunt Fei, like all married women, hates women in the dust, and hates them for seducing her husbands. It seems that those old men are not willing to pay for spring by themselves.
Hao Xiangxiang just wanted to speak, but Aunt Fei lowered her voice and said, "You are Miss Qianjin, who dares to say that you are ugly?" I told him not to die well, and never to be born! Although the voice was so low that the other farmers around him could not hear it, the tone was vicious.
Hao Xiangxiang's heart flowed with warmth. Although she had always been very smug and seemed to care, whenever she passed the ditch and pond, she couldn't help but look inside to see her shadow, just like other girls. Hey, I can't bear to see it. I hate myself. I'm afraid I won't be able to get married in this life. Who would be blind and marry an ugly bastard? Naturally, the right family will not marry, and those from low-income families will not dare to marry.
Whenever she thinks of this, Hao Xiangxiang feels especially grateful to her grandmother, Mrs. Hao. Grandma must also be worried that she will not be able to get married, so she will strictly order the master and the mother to teach herself, in case one day she is displaced and lonely, she can also rely on her diligent and flexible hands and strong martial arts to protect herself.
Hao Xiangxiang glanced at her sister gratefully and stopped talking. Bow your head to work, your hands flying, the curved sickle glistening in the sun, and the rice flies to the rice stack in the distance. The rice stack gradually turned into a hill.
Suddenly, Hao Xiangxiang's eyes darkened, and several figures appeared on the shiny sickle. She was a little confused, what was going on?
Immediately afterwards, his right hand was pulled by someone, and Hao Xiangxiang hurriedly pounced forward with the strength of that hand, and he slipped into the rice waves and disappeared.
She hid in the rice, and saw through the gap that Shi Niang was hiding not far from her. She understood that it was Shi Niang who saved herself.
She wanted to find the master, but as far as her eyes could see, she couldn't find the master.
A strong wind blew in the air, swishing and swishing.
Immediately afterwards, a rain of blood stained the rice stacks red,......
Hao's Manor, stretching for thousands of miles, is beautiful and rich. It has been a place where people have lived and worked in peace and contentment for generations.
Hao Xiangxiang, because of her ugliness, was disliked by her parents, and left the castle where the Hao family lived every day, Maple Leaf Castle, and was thrown to the manor, living with the farmers, and fending for herself.
However, because of the protection of her grandmother and the love and teaching of her master, she was able to enjoy the gifts of nature, wander in the mountains and rivers, and live happily.
Therefore, Hao Xiangxiang has lived for fifteen years, and has never seen blood, let alone a rice stack wet with blood rain.
"Let's go." Fei Dutou didn't know when he appeared in front of Hao Xiangxiang and took her out of the rice package.
Her collar was grabbed by the master, and she was speechless. She caught a glimpse of her master in her spare eye, but she didn't have time to ask her for help, she was already carried by her master and flew out far away. She followed her master and flew on the rice waves. She reluctantly adjusted her breath and tried to perform light skills to keep up with her master.
But the master did not seem to intend to let her fly on her own, but grabbed her hand - but stopped pulling her by the collar, and went on as fast as he could, not having time to take care of her feelings.
Therefore, Hao Xiangxiang was actually dragged for dozens of miles.
They landed in a house on a hillside. The courtyard is deep and the eaves are high. But he couldn't see anyone, and it was quiet. There are only large expanses of osmanthus like clouds, exuding a rich fragrance, bursts of gusts.
Hao Xiangxiang knew that this was the place where her grandmother cultivated. Grandma was extremely strict and didn't like to be lively, so she had already moved out of Maple Leaf Castle and came to Hao's Manor. She personally surveyed and chose a place with excellent feng shui in the mountain col, far away from the village of the farmers, and let people build a large mansion, where one person cultivates, and only a few maids serve the daily life.
Hao Xiangxiang has lived in the village with her master and wife since she was a child, and she will come to her grandmother to ask for peace during the New Year's Festival, and she usually doesn't dare to bother.
Today, why did the master bring himself here suddenly?
Fei Dutou and Hao Xiangxiang stood in the courtyard, not even daring to come out. Fei Dutou bowed his head slightly, and his back was quietly bent down. In Hao Xiangxiang's eyes, the master suddenly became a little shorter.
No wonder the master is so cautious. Grandma never reprimanded her subordinates and spoke softly, but when she spoke, she liked to keep her head down, squint her eyes, and sweep you from time to time. The place swept by her eyes seemed to be immediately lifeless, and there was no grass.
"Still defenseless?" Grandma asked softly. The voice came from the tall hall, and the majesty and coldness could not be hidden.
Grandma's momentum, just like the eaves and arches of this hall, has a particularly deterrent effect.
Hao Xiangxiang's mind was spinning quickly, guarded? Who to guard against?
