Ping Yan remembered the scene when she saw the flower peony for the first time.

At that time, Hua Peony was already fifteen or sixteen years old, which was a good time for the first bloom of the girl, and she claimed to be the first female disciple accepted by the master, so she naturally felt that all the female dolls in the troupe had to obey her instructions.

The master handed her to Hua Peony, who was dirty and wet, and asked her to take her new junior sister to take a bath, change her clothes and eat.

She lost her parents for the first time, fragile and sensitive, but like a hedgehog, she wrapped herself in sharp spikes, and her disguise was cold and ruthless. It seems that this will show that she is not an orphan who is not loved.

Hua Peony is a proud and powerful person, with a very poisonous mouth, but he is quite dutiful to the junior brothers and sisters in the team. To be honest, she didn't like the skinny little junior sister in front of her, not only because she was rude, but more importantly, she saw an expression on that little face with a pointed chin, arrogant and cold, like a peacock standing high with its head held high.

It's just a dirty child, she's the only peacock here.

She made no secret of her disgust for Ping Yan and picked thorns everywhere, but no matter what tricky work she sent, that cold little girl always accepted it calmly and tried her best.

But the peacock is the king of all birds and is not allowed to be ignored. The more she is ignored, the more she flutters her wings and works hard to open the screen.

The conflict between them intensified one evening in the fall.

There were many stars in the sky that night, and they blinked brightly. Bai Heng pursed his lips tightly, his robe was rolled into a pocket, which was swollen and filled with wild dates, he held it with both hands, hanging his head, as if the bag of dates weighed as much as a thousand catties.

Ping Yan secretly looked over and saw her senior brother, who had always been gentle and cheerful, protecting her senior brother in everything, with embarrassing wounds. She only knew that the corners of his eyes were crooked all day long, bringing out an intimate smile like a spring breeze. But this night, for the first time, she saw Bai Heng's tears, falling in the corners of her eyes, dripping down, like a prisoner standing in the middle of ten thousand people, with a heinous crime.

The door of the room that had been confined suddenly opened, and in this suffocating air, the master took the lead to meet the old doctor who came out of the wooden medicine box. In the eagerly awaited and hungry eyes of everyone, the old gentleman slowly shook his head and sighed: "I can't save it, let's prepare for the future." ”

The master forcibly held back his expression and politely sent the old doctor to the gate of the hospital. Ping Yan saw his feet stepping back step by step, and saw his face, perhaps because of the moonlight and starlight, his face seemed to have just been fished up from the bottom of the lake and was soaked white.

Everyone looked at the door, at the little figure lying inside, who had been declared dead, and they all knew the identity of the boy. His parents were benefactors to the Master, who followed his last words and vowed to take good care of their children as if they were his own.

But he died, half of his leg was torn off alive by a wild wolf on the mountain, and he died of excessive blood loss. And the culprit of all this stood in the middle of the courtyard...... They turned their gaze to the boy again, and the elder brother, who had always been favored by the master who was envied by many people, gradually changed his gaze in the cold night, from the previous compassion and sympathy to hatred and fear.

At this time, a junior brother who was not good friends with him stood up and pointed out with righteous words, "Master, it was Ah Zong who was killed by the senior brother, if he hadn't slept in the middle of the night and secretly ran to the remote back mountains to pick wild dates, and took Ah Zong with him, how could Ah Zong be attacked by wild wolves!" ”

Immediately there was another chirping echo.

Bai Heng stood in the middle of the courtyard, and also stood on the cusp. The moonlight froze him in like an impermeable ice barrier, like an exhibit full of humiliating history, rubbed and crushed in the spittle stars.

He shuddered. Ah Zong is such a cute and well-behaved child, he likes to stick with him the most, and the six-year-old child can already write his name on the rice paper he gave...... Why was he bitten by a wild wolf, and how did he die overnight?

Blame him, if he hadn't relented for a while, he took Ah Zong, who was pestering him, to secretly go to the back mountain to pick dates, if he hadn't been scared and didn't dare to snatch Ah Zong back from the wolf's mouth......

He spread his hand, and the dates in his robe rolled down, like a dancing curse, choking his breath. Frightened and regretful, he collapsed on the ground like dough, sobbing and crying.

Ping Yan stood silently in the crowd, and in his choking together, his heart was also flattened, like playing on a swing, but the swing board was full of sharp nails. She was also afraid, and for the first time since the fire in her home, she had felt this feeling of being dominated by great fear.

Bai Heng often sneaks to the back mountain in the middle of the night to pick ripe wild dates, and when he comes back, he comes back with a big bag and tucks it under her pillow. She didn't mean to say a word that day, and he remembered that she liked to drink sweet soup boiled with red dates and longan, and liked the sticky and sweet taste, like in a honey pot.

Therefore, Azong's death is due to her in the final analysis. If she had rejected Bai Heng's kindness early, if she hadn't coveted that little bit of gentle treatment......

But she didn't dare to stand up, she didn't dare to face it with him. She didn't want to be kicked out of the troupe by her master, this was the only place where she could live safely. She had to live, this was her father's last words on his deathbed. Not only that, but she also wants to keep this life and take revenge.

"Bai Heng, Master doesn't want to take your life for a life, but he doesn't want to see you anymore, let's go."

After Master's tired words, Bai Heng cried out and couldn't breathe, but he didn't dare to hug Master's trouser leg and begged him to let him stay.

Ping Yan's heart throbbed, she gritted her teeth, she couldn't bear to look at the young man's heart-wrenching appearance, one small step, one small step back, like a snail retracting its outstretched tentacles, silently withdrawing from the crowd.

But the snail always likes to follow the prey animals, and a strong wind passes by its side, and her body is unstable, and her heart is even more unstable, and she is suddenly knocked to the ground.

She looked up at the angry wind, it was her eldest sister Hua Peony. She stood beside Bai Heng, like a protective god who could not be blown by the wind, pointing viciously to a certain direction in the crowd, and her voice was loud, "She hurt Ah Zong, and the senior brother is innocent!" ”

Her outstretched fingers were like a fishing line, and the hook was sharp, piercing into Ping Yan's whole body where there was nowhere to put it.

Everyone's eyes were cast at this moment, like strange-shaped bait, swarming towards her.

Hua Peony knelt down towards the master and clenched her fists, "Master! It was she who was greedy, and she had to ask Senior Brother Bai Heng to go to the mountains to pick dates for her to eat late at night, and Senior Brother loved her classmates, so he naturally couldn't bear to refuse her. She said as she tore off Bai Heng's clothes, and in a sigh of embarrassment, outside Ping Yan's blank vision, Bai Heng's front chest and back seemed to appear, bruises and purples were all wounds, like a thin piece of paper that had knocked over the paint.

Hua Peony said in the loudest and most resorbid tone: "These wounds were all left by the senior brother on the back mountain, on the way to find wild jujube trees all over the mountains. It's all her! She's the worst of the worst! ”

She glared at Ping Yan fiercely with the maximum arc that her eyes could open, staring, and her unforgiving face was the first to slide down tears.

She knelt beside Bai Heng and cried, her heart was dripping with blood, and she persuaded while crying: "Senior brother, you say, you say, why don't you make it clear to the master, what are you still protecting her for, and how long are you going to protect her?" Don't you see her true nature? At such a juncture, she only cares about herself, where does she care about you! ”

Only she would be stupid and willingly see him as the whole of her career.

It rained in the second half of the night, and it rained heavily until the middle of the next night. The three of them knelt in front of Ah Zong's grave, Bai Heng was repenting, Hua Peony accompanied Bai Heng to repent, threatening the master with his behavior not to drive her senior brother out, Ping Yan was also kneeling, she was also guilty, thinking about Ah Zong, the child who likes to be close to people, but has never dared to speak out loud in front of her, always persistently asks where his father and mother have gone? When will you come back and pick him up?

Now, his father and mother have finally received him, and the family is reunited, how good.

The three of them fell to their knees in the pouring rain and sent Ah Zong away with a torrential confession.

Ping Yan remembered that the winter was so long that she and Bai Heng lingered on the sickbed for several months, and they were almost dying. But their master, the kind and forbearant man, still tolerated their irreparable mistake and personally prescribed a dose of medicine to save Bai Heng and her.

At that time, she knew that her master's ancestor was actually the imperial doctor in the palace, and the master was also excellent in medicine, but since he learned to sing, his hands only pried the orchid fingers and pinched the bamboo folding fan. He said that herbs have spirits, and the red dust and turbidity on the actor's body are not worthy of harmony, which will insult the ancestors.

Master never saw a doctor, but since then, he has taught Ping Yan all his medical skills.

She was originally a sinner spurned by everyone, but she fell ill and became the biggest beneficiary. Master trusted her, and Senior Brother thanked her for not giving up in the heavy rain and loved her more and more.

Since then, she has really become a thorn in the eye of Hua Peony, a thorn in her flesh.

Ping Yan came to her senses from the long memories, and saw Granny Wang limping over, "What can I do about this?" ”

She listened to the movement outside the door, and her eyes were clear. Xiao Ma, she must be saved.

She gave Hua Peony a chance to get rid of her, and the result depends on their own abilities.
