Chapter 1 The golden cicada sheds its shell

Leaving Yangzhou City, the day of entering Beijing, it was another 'cloudy' rainy weather, the clear rain lingered all night, since the morning shrouded the bluestone alleys near and far, ethereal like smoke, thick with moist depth. Please search to see the most complete! The fastest update

I was pulled up from the 'bed' early in the morning, followed behind my mother, kowtowed to the ancestral hall, and saluted incense, after a tedious ceremony, I was already dizzy and dizzy, and I was really tired of dealing with the smiling faces of the people in the house, especially their exaggerated reluctance, I was even more lazy to perfunctory.

Qingqing took her grandmother and the fourth aunt's hands. Reluctantly, crying like the continuous 'cloudy' rain that day.

I've only lived in the house for more than a month, and I really don't have anything to do with except for Aunt Jiu. She was smiling the whole time, but she turned her back again and again to wipe the corners of her eyes, and when she turned her face again, her eyes were red.

My heart felt a little painful and a little sour.

Fortunately, my father urged: "The hour is almost up, let's hurry up, don't miss the road." ”

The carriages on the road were lined up in front of the 'gate' of Sufu, and there were seven or eight carriages piled up in just the large and small cages. Qingqing and a few girls and I took three soft carriages, and left Yangzhou City in the expectations and advice of my grandmother, father, and aunts.

The hazy blue bricks and gray tiles, and the lingering smoke curling, faded away in the blurred vision, and finally disappeared.

The raindrops were pounding on the carport, adding to the boredom. Qingqing, who was sitting in the carriage in front, quickly got rid of the sentimentality and melancholy of parting, and lifted the curtain when he left Yangzhou City, looking at the mountains and gurgling water outside under the drizzle, chattering non-stop, occasionally poking his head out and waving to me, jumping happily like a hundred spirits who had escaped from the cage, and wished to give birth to a pair of wings.

I didn't get enough sleep, so I dozed off with my head leaning on the cushion. Brother Lin took a hat and a coat, and rode on a tall jujube red horse at the front of the team.

The Lord Lynch, whom his father helped him inquire, had already had news and was now working in Beijing. My father was cheeky and begged Brother Lin to delay for a few days and escort me and Qingqing into Beijing together.

Brother Lin readily agreed. My father took the liberty of making another request, he gave me a few branch shops in Beijing 'privately', I don't have to be in charge of running them, the shops have loyal and trustworthy old shopkeepers, and I only need to verify the accounts every month. Naturally, it was inconvenient for me to show my face, so my father entrusted this matter to Brother Lin, and all the business income was used as my expenses and expenses in Beijing.

In fact, my father originally had good intentions, but he didn't know about Brother Lin's arrangement of 'guards' for me, thinking that he was still struggling, and he was also under the fence when he arrived in the capital. Father thanked him for helping the Su family these days, and entrusted him with such an errand, at least he was still alive at hand. If Brother Lin plans to make a living in the future, there is also a convenient condition.

I don't know if Brother Lin understands his father's hard work, but he readily agreed. And told his father that there is a difference between men and women, his identity is a little embarrassing, in order to avoid suspicion, he is willing to enter Beijing as a member of the Su family, and before he has other plans, he will take on the important task of protecting me and Qingqing. Naturally, my father couldn't ask for it, and thanked him again and again.

Just against a swaggering convoy like us, along the way, if someone has bad intentions, it is really not safe. Brother Lin walked with me, which made my heart feel steady.

Brother Lin comforted me during the break: "Don't underestimate these coachmen and 'guards' arranged for you by your father, all of them have unique skills and can defeat ten with one. Otherwise, how could he rest assured that you two weak 'girls' would take so many valuable things on the road? ”

He taught me how to judge the depth of kung fu by the breath and footsteps of others, and to observe them in detail.

When Brother Lin and I were talking and laughing, the crazy stone who was traveling with him sat with his back not far from us, without saying a word.

I realized something was wrong with him. Since he left Yangzhou City, he has a wooden face, and he doesn't speak, but only rushes with his head bored. Sitting on horseback, his spine is 'straight', every move, every board and one eye, without the slightest bit of his usual 'debauched' uninhibited and unruly appearance.

I approached him, looked him up and down, deliberately provoked him, and he was uncharacteristically no longer talking back to me.

I said, "You're a great hero!" ”

He didn't lift his eyelids.

I said, "But your brocade tunic with sleeves today has a bit of a pink complexion, which is too feminine." ”

He glanced at me blankly, still indifferent, and didn't raise his eyebrows.

I thought that I must have offended him somewhere, and all kinds of temptations along the way, he was like a piece of wood, silently pestle there, no matter how my tongue and lotus 'flower' coaxed him, and never looked at me again. I was so annoyed that I was depressed for days.

In the end, it was Brother Lin who stopped me, and said to Nunu, the back of the crazy stone, "You don't have to work in vain, he is not a crazy stone." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then I thought about it, it was true. A few days ago, Crazy Stone has been busy with his feet on the ground, how did he hear that the day of my entry into Beijing has come, and he immediately packed his luggage and went on the road with me? It turned out that he made a plan to get rid of the shell of a golden cicada, and took advantage of the enemy's carelessness to secretly change his identity and rush back to Yangzhou City.

Even I was 'blinded' in the dark, and he didn't know me, and he was still arrogant in front of me, making me curry favor with him. This revenge is not a gentleman, not to mention that when I am bored, I wish I had something to come out to relieve my boredom.

When the carriage passed by a small town, I got out of the car and bought a bag of fried beans, stopped the fake crazy stone, and asked him with a sad face: "I don't know if I inadvertently said something wrong, so that you have an opinion about me, and blame me in my heart." No matter how you come all the way, you ignore me. ”

Crazy Stone shook his head, and this time he spit out two words: "No." ”

I let out a long sigh of relief and smiled brightly: "It's good that you don't blame me." Haven't you always loved to eat 'flower' raw rice, I didn't see anyone selling it here, so I bought a bag of fried soybeans for you. If you're not mad at me, take it. ”

The imposter Crazy Stone still looked paralyzed, and hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the fried beans and throwing them into his mouth. The fried beans are crispy and addictive, and he eats them all the way, feeling comfortable and comfortable.

Brother Lin deliberately slowed down, parallel to my carriage, and asked me through the window, "Why did you think of buying him fried beans to eat?" You can't be trying to 'trick' people, right? ”

I took my eyes off the book and said with a playful smile: "I'm just not at ease, I'm afraid that he will 'show' some flaws." After all, this is Mad Stone's biggest hobby, how can you not imitate it? They are the most dedicated. ”

Brother Lin may think that my words are indeed reasonable, so he will not ask more.

When the carriage rested again, the shadow of the mad stone was gone. Brother Lin asked strangely, "Where did he go?" ”

I pouted and said, "I eat too many fried beans during the day and am thirsty, so naturally I went to find water to drink." ”

Brother Lin immediately came to his senses, sneered, and shook his head helplessly at me: "You, why are you so stingy, didn't people tell you in advance, you just 'tease' him." After eating so many fried beans and drinking a stomach of cold water, can your stomach be comfortable? ”

The effect was immediate, and the impostor's face began to grow uncomfortable, frowning, and frequently burrowing into the grass on the side of the road, and I leaned back with laughter in the car.

"Hey," I called him, "I'm afraid it's still half a day's journey from the nearest village and town, but I have 'medicine' here, can you take it?" ”

The whole waist of the impostor Crazy Stone was stiffened, his face was sallow, and he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't 'straighten' on horseback. Hearing me say this, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

I took out the pill from the box and handed it to him, "Hey, wood, what's your name?" ”

He couldn't help but be stunned, looked at me in surprise, and the hand that was reaching out to me retracted in embarrassment.

"Didn't you expect your mouth to be 'very' hard, Mu Lin? There really is. I grinned.

For the first time, his face, which had always been paralyzed, had an expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Your name is really Mu Lin, Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth, are there five of you in total?" I smiled and asked, "I've seen Huolin, he's so much cuter than you." ”

The fake mad stone waved his hand at me: "Mu Lin has seen Miss Eleven. ”

"Are you going back to Beijing with me? Why don't you stay here and help the Crazy Stone? ”

"The subordinate's duty is to protect Miss Eleven."

There was a little sweetness in my heart: "Is this what your master means?" ”

Mu Lin gritted his teeth and nodded.

"You lost the leaf that shaved off his hair when the rocks shattered his mouth, right?"

He frowned and let out a shallow "um".

"Being able to fly leaves and hurt people is really good. No wonder Liang Ci values you so much. It's just that you are not very authentic when you go around preaching about his breaking into my boudoir at night. ”

He gritted his teeth, not admitting or distinguishing.

"You do seem to be unwell?" I looked at him with a smile on my face.

He still gritted his teeth and nodded.

"It's uncomfortable!" I pulled the curtain on the car window: "You always talk nonsense in front of the rocks, you deserve it!" ”

When resting at the inn at night, Mu Lin looked much better, but his 'legs' were already a little trembling when he dismounted.

Brother Lin came to me and interceded with him: "Just a bag of soybeans, it won't make a martial arts man so embarrassed, Qingwu, are you naughty again, what else did you do in that bag of soybeans?" ”

I raised my eyebrows and grinned: "This is the old account and the new account together, this is still cheap for him." ”

Brother Lin asked strangely, "Do you know him?" ”

I nodded: "He is a subordinate of Jianzun, I have met once, but that time it was at night, he was wearing a hat, I didn't see his appearance clearly." ”

"Since he is a subordinate of Sword Venerable, how dare he provoke you?" Brother Lin asked strangely.

My face turned red, and I remembered what Crazy Stone said when he was arguing with me that day, "It seems that what Mu Lin's idiot said is true, that guy has finally opened his mind." "It's clear that this guy named Mu Lin chewed the root of my tongue and Liang Ci in front of the crazy stone. But he was embarrassed to talk to Brother Lin, and said vaguely: "He used to say bad things about me in front of Crazy Stone, and I have always remembered my grudge." ”
