Ruyi and his entourage will soon be on the border of Qi and Wei, but there is a section of the road to cross the Zhao State. At this time, the territory of Zhao State, because of the war, is not peaceful, so you must be extra careful when passing by. However, this is already a border area, not a battlefield, and there is no war, just be careful.

Ruyi changed into men's clothes, but did not wear a mask. I came all the way smoothly, so I didn't care.

However, Ruyi has always been very careful, and she is extra attentive when passing through dense forests and hills, and now her five senses are super sharp, as long as she is vigilant, she can find danger.

After passing through a dense forest smoothly, and then crossing the river in front of it, it entered the border of Qi State, in fact, the border division at this time was not as accurate as it is in modern times. It is also said that this piece still belongs to the Zhao State, and further forward is the Qi State. In short, this piece of land may be a disputed piece of land.

A few people stood by the river, looking at the scattered houses on the other side of the river, smoking from the curling cooking smoke, which was not large in size and should be a village.

Qin Yue saw that it was getting late, "There is a village in front, let's go and take a rest." ”

Xu Sheng also agreed, "The princess hasn't eaten for a day, go to pad her stomach." ”

Nie Zheng just looked at Ruyi and didn't speak.

If you think that everyone is tired, no matter how iron-beaten your body is, you can't always rush without eating or sleeping, so you nodded in agreement.

"Let's go to the village for a night's rest and get some dry food by the way." Ruyi said.

Several people crossed the river with horses, and the river was not deep enough to reach the horse's calves, but it still splashed with water. After a day of sunshine, the river still carries the temperature of the sun, and it is neither cold nor hot, and I want people to jump into the river to take a bath, and wash away the fatigue of several days.

At this time, Xu Sheng's stomach came with a "grunting" sound, which not only aroused everyone's appetite, but also aroused everyone's tiredness.

Ruyi thought about it, and he was indeed too anxious, and after running for a long distance without sleep, everyone would soon be overwhelmed.

Ruyi immediately decided to rest for one night today and another half day tomorrow morning.

When I entered the village, I didn't know which one wafted out of the village, and the strong aroma immediately made everyone feel hungry and drooling. Everyone tacitly followed the fragrance and decided to stay at this house, Ruyi looked at a few pairs of eyes with a faint green light, just like a hungry wolf.

Ruyi stepped forward, knocked on the wooden door, and kindly reminded the people behind, "Put away the green light in your eyes, don't frighten the villagers anymore." ”

An aunt opened the door neatly, looked at a few strangers at the door, and asked with a wary face, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Auntie, we want to go to Linzi and pass by here and want to spend the night." Ruyi said politely.

The aunt just wanted to speak, with a look of rejection on her face, Ruyi felt that her thighs were being hugged, "Beautiful brother, can you teach me to read?" ”

Ruyi looked down and saw that a little boy of five or six years old had squeezed out of the door at some point, and was holding his thighs at this time, looking at him with a look of hope.

Ruyi touched the little boy's head with a gentle face and said, "Of course my brother can teach you to read." ”

The little boy immediately happily reflexively dragged his aunt's clothes and swayed, "Grandma, you just let the brothers stay." ”

The aunt caressed the little boy's face lovingly and said with a smile, "Okay." Listen to Ming Tsai's. ”

The aunt opened the door and let everyone in.

The aunt was cooking, Xu Sheng volunteered to help, and after talking, the aunt gradually let down her guard.

Ruyi is really teaching the little boy to read as promised, and the little boy is learning very seriously. And at first glance, it is somewhat basic. Ruyi wondered in her heart that someone in such a remote village could enlighten her child so early.

After a while, the aunt cooked the meal and served it on the table, and everyone sat around the table to have a full meal, and Ruyi had the opportunity to talk with the aunt.

Ruyi put away the dishes and chopsticks, and asked the aunt: "Auntie, I see that Ming Tsai has a foundation, and he has learned to read and write before." ”

"His father, my son, taught him to read and write, and a year ago his father said that he was going out to wander around, and said that he would come back when Ming Tsai had memorized all 3,000 words. That's why Ming Tsai is so attentive, he has already learned the calligraphy book that his father left him before, and I can't read and write, so I can't teach him at all. Ming Tsai is also pitiful, he has no mother since he was a child, and I raised it single-handedly. Saying that, the aunt wiped the corners of her eyes.

Ruyi didn't feel good when she heard it, such a young child was in need of parental care, but her parents were not around. Then he asked, "Then who taught your son how to write?" ”

"It was my man who taught him, but my man died early and didn't see his grandson." Auntie said.

Ruyi looked apologetic. The aunt is even more cool, "It's okay, after so many years, I don't care anymore." ”

Ruyi taught Xiao Mingzai a lot of words that night. also wrote a handwritten book for Xiao Mingzai overnight, a full 3,000 words.

The next morning, Ruyi gave the notebook to Xiao Mingzai, and Xiao Mingzai happily kept it in his hand and did not let go. "Brother, can you stay a little longer?" Xiao Mingzai asked in a milky voice.

"My brother has something urgent to go, but my brother promised you to come back to see you when my brother is done, okay?" Ruyi half-squatted and looked at Xiao Mingzai and said.

Xiao Mingzai lowered his head in disappointment and lowered his eyes, and muttered, "That's what Daddy said at the beginning." But he hasn't come back yet. ”

Ruyi touched Xiao Ming's soft hair in distress, "What's Xiao Mingzai's name?" Brother must remember. ”

"My name is Zhong Liming, my name is my father's name, I hope I can be like a mirror, and I also hope that I can distinguish between right and wrong." Xiao Mingzai opened his black and white eyes and said loudly.

"Zhongli?" Ruyi said thoughtfully.

"Our entire village is surnamed Zhongli, and we have lived here in seclusion for decades. Life is also comfortable, but my unfilial son has to run out. The aunt sighed and said.

This Zhongli surname is still quite related, in the Spring and Autumn Period, after Zhongli was destroyed by the Chu State, the people of the country took the original country name as the surname, called Zhongli. Then the people of this village should be the descendants of Yuan Zhong Liguo.

Although Ruyi also likes Xiao Mingzai very much, he has more important things to do, so he left Zhongli Village under Xiao Mingzai's reluctant gaze. The villagers have gone to work in the fields at the head of the village one after another. Everyone's face was full of stability and peace.

Ruyi looked at the stable and peaceful appearance of Zhongli Village, and hoped that the war would never spread here, so that they could live forever and happily.

Ruyi rode away, and looked back at it one last until the village had become a small black spot.

Ruyi and his party were about to continue walking, but they were stopped in their way.

It was none other than his old rival Xu Gong who stood in the way. Xu Gong changed his previous lazy temperament, and said with a straight face: "Princess Ruyi, our monarch wants to invite the princess to be a guest, come with us, right?" ”

Xu Gong was followed by more than a dozen people, and at first glance, they were all top killers.

Ruyi didn't speak, his eyes narrowed, and he squinted.

said that it was too late and that was fast, Ruyi pulled out a short sword, and a little cold light went straight to Xu Gong's door, and then the sword came out like a dragon, and the short sword was as flexible as a swimming dragon, and Ruyi's movements were so fast that people only came to see a trace of afterimage.

Xu Gong was taken aback, he didn't expect Ruyi's kung fu to improve by leaps and bounds. Xu Gong was caught off guard by the beating, and was forced to retreat step by step for a while.

The two got into a fight, and the others were all fighting.

Xu Gong slowly adjusted, but he only barely made a draw with Ruyi. Xu Gong was shocked, when did her kung fu become so powerful.

As everyone knows, since the fusion of Ruyi's soul, kung fu has risen day by day. Ruyi himself couldn't figure out whether it had anything to do with the spirit stone.

Ruyi is more and more handy, if at the beginning because of the lack of combat experience, Ruyi's moves are still a little green, then now it has reached the point of perfection.

There was a slight oozing of Han on Duke Xu's forehead, and there was a sense that he couldn't resist. In fact, Xu Gong didn't really fail to beat Ruyi, but he didn't want to hurt Ruyi and had always had scruples. And Ruyi has no worries, and the moves are deadly.

When the fight was hot, a female voice suddenly sounded from behind her, and the voice said jokingly, "Put down the sword, otherwise the people of Zhongli Village and this child will die." ”

As expected, the person who came was the righteous daughter of Ji Heng, the monarch of Zhongshan Kingdom, Ji Meier, that is, the so-called young master of Hetumen. And what she is holding in her hand is Xiao Mingzai.

Ruyi quickly stepped back and jumped out of the fighting circle, and looked at Ji Mei'er coldly, "Let that child go." ”

Xiao Mingzai looked at Ruyi in fear and called out in a low voice, "Brother." He still clutched the notebook Ruyi had written to him tightly in his hand.

Ji Mei'er smiled, "If you hesitate any longer, the whole village will have to bury you with you." ”

I don't know if this sentence stimulated Xiao Mingzai, Xiao Mingzai suddenly howled and cried, and then shouted while crying: "Brother, grandma has been killed by them, and the uncle in the village and the little flower next door have been killed by her." ”

Ruyi frowned tightly when he heard this, and his breath instantly surged. Unexpectedly, she just stayed overnight, but the whole village lost her life, this small village that had lived in seclusion for so many years was actually destroyed because of herself, Ruyi's eyes were red, and she was about to fly towards Ji Meier.

Ji Meier grabbed Xiao Mingzai and blocked her in front of her, Xiao Mingzai was still crying, her face was covered with tears and snot, and she looked at Ruyi with tears in her eyes, "Brother save me." ”

Nie Zheng beat up a few people who besieged him, and hurriedly jumped over to help Ruyi, Lao Yue also jumped over after solving the battle, Qin Yue finished fighting his own and went to help Xu Sheng, only Xu Sheng was injured and almost became a sword soul.

Xu Gong walked over with a complicated expression, although he didn't approve of Ji Mei'er's practice of taking innocent lives as child's play, but now in this situation, he can only stand on Ji Mei'er's side. The reason why he doesn't like Ji Meier is also because this woman is too vicious and paranoid.

When the two sides were confronting, Xiao Mingzai suddenly bit the hand on his shoulder hard, and a woman's miserable scream broke through the sky.
