Yue'er's mother noticed that there were two strangers next to her, looking at their appearance and dress, they were still children, but their clothes and net worth should not be bad, and then look at the two horses in their hands, one can cover the living expenses of the whole family for half a lifetime and can live in a decent blue brick house.

Looking closely, one is dressed in white, with a slender figure, clean and clear eyebrows, although he is less than a year old, he already has the temperament of an adult; The other person was dressed in black, a few years older, with a majestic body and pink face and black eyes, like a porcelain figure in a painting.

"You're her mother." Chongwen speculated, but the words were affirmative, and after a while, he groaned, loosened the reins in his hand, and smiled very gently. "Excuse me, why did you hit the Yue'er girl?"

Yue'er's mother was inexplicable, but Guan Chongwen's speaking demeanor couldn't help but shake her head honestly, and then said: "Childe doesn't know, this girl has been playful lately, and she doesn't take her home seriously at all. You see, you also heard just now, this girl doesn't wash the bowls, the dishes are not checked, and the rice is not warm! In this way, where is the parent not chilling? We have been raising her for seven or eight years...... May I ask your surname? ”。

"My name is Chongwen." Chongwen smiled more and more kindly, the center of his slender fingers was close to his slightly pointed chin, and his beautiful eyes smiled at Yue'er's mother, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were slightly raised.

In the Dajing Empire, the double surname was a symbol of status and status. In addition to the royal family, Loulan and Yuwen are the most prominent. But the surname Chong, only the two personal guards under the big disciples of Xiangguo, respectively Chongding Wen and Wu.

As soon as she heard the word Chongwen, Yue'er's mother was suddenly startled, with a muffled "bang", she knelt down in a panic, and said with a trembling voice: "The grass people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai!" Please...... Thank you for your understanding. Fast...... Yue'er, kneel down and call your lord. Yue'er's mother's two pairs of squinted eyes constantly gave Yue'er a look, a rough veteran, while Yue'er on the side completely ignored and ignored it. The eyes are slanted to the side, and the mouth is pouted into a tightly closed cannibal flower.

Chongwen nodded slightly respectfully, and his gaze moved to Yue'er, thoughtfully. Although he is still a child, the prominence of the background and the pampering of his habits give people a kind of grace and luxury, as if he should accept everyone's worship, although he is already very low-key......

Yue'er looked at him with her eyes and didn't know what he was planning in her heart. Turning his head to look at the trembling and kneeling mother, he hurriedly turned around and ran back to the kitchen, ready to wash the dishes before being beaten. Her clothes were too loose, her hair was loose and loose because of running, and there were some fallen leaves and dust attached to it, which looked dirty and messy.

Yue'er ran as fast as she could, and soon disappeared around the corner in front of the tattered and sparse fence.

Chongwen looked at her back, the slender white jade hand in his hand hung down gently, got on the horse, turned around and smiled at Mrs. Xiang, who was still kneeling, before turning around and leaving: "Since this is the case, it is obviously a misunderstanding, and in the future, it is better to be less violent to the child, do not disturb, and say goodbye." ”

Chongwen and Chongwu did not leave this small village called Yangchang Village for the first time.

After a round of sightseeing, it was almost evening. The sun is dark, the night is thick, and the fierce long wind comes across the whole village from the Yangchang forest road, and the two of them spend the night at the home of the famous Yangyuan in the village, and by the way they inquired about some things about Yangchang Village, and they also knew some things about Yue'er's family.

"Yue'er, this child is obedient and sensible, but pitiful. In the year she was born, the moon was shining in the deep space of the village, and under such a beautiful moonlight, the enemy army attacked overnight, invaded and looted the entire Yangchang Village. Two hours earlier, an elder in the village had been saying, 'The heavens are in a vision, and there will be great calamities.' When everyone heard this, they packed up their things and prepared to flee to the most hidden temple on the slope overnight to avoid trouble, and Yue'er's mother was born on the way to escape. There was no midwife on the road, her mother suffered a blood collapse after giving birth, and she passed away like this. Her current mother is his father's successor, but her stepmother can't have children, and because the overall family situation of the village was poor at that time, I organized an order Xiao Si who stayed in Loulan Wangfu's house all year round to do chores. At that time, Yue'er was only a few years old, and she was usually asked to do housework, and she was also allowed to go to the field during the farming period, her father was not there, and her stepmother didn't care, and she was called by the woman, and she just had some feelings...... It's really weird and pitiful. ”

"Wasn't the people of the world all the people in the world extremely poor and poor, without food and clothing?" Chongwen was eight years old that year, and he was deeply impressed by Star Swirl as he traveled around the country to help the disaster.

"Oh, yes. Deserted south leads thieves. I thought that only the people in our village were like this one after another, and I didn't know until I went out! Therefore, most of the thieves from near and far came to our village to plunder the village. Speaking of this, the staff member paused, and then added thoughtfully: "Fortunately, Elder She in our village has always spoken very accurately, and everyone packed up their things overnight and fled with their children and daughters...... Hey, at that time, the disaster came, and it was inevitable that some people would be seriously injured unintentionally, and Yue'er was born in the troubled times, so that she can live a good life so far, which is also a miracle. On the day she was born, there was no one who knew anything about it, so she thought she would be stillborn, but she survived. After that, except for noisy and banging, there was almost no major incident. It's been seven, eight, ten years, and I haven't seen any catastrophes, but the kid is very strong. ”

Chongwen smiled, his hands were facing back, and his body shook leisurely. Thinking of the portrait on the temple wall, his beautiful eyes narrowed into a curved arc of crescent, but the smile on his face became more modest and gentle.

"Brother, that little girl is really pitiful. As she struggled, I saw that she still had scars on her arms, old and new! Her stepmother came over and beat her in front of us, but I don't know what else she will do behind people's backs! ”

"Speaking of which, hey......"

Chongwu was completely shocked by Yue'er's experience, and followed Chongwen back to the room to rest, still chattering in his mouth, and his heart was very uneasy. "She is so young, only seven or eight years old, and a little girl of seven or eight years old can have such a miserable experience. When he was eight years old, he enjoyed the love of his parents, how could he have imagined that there were still people in the world who had such a hard time! ”

"To each man has a life. Next year, if you go on a study tour alone and pick some remote and poor places, you will find that such accidents are not uncommon. Chongwen sighed in his heart. This year is the last year he came out to study with Chongwu, and next year he will have to accept the title in a proper manner, and in his fiefdom, he will assume all the rights and obligations derived from his title of "Nanxia Jun".

His younger brother Chongwu is three years younger than him, eleven or twelve years old this year. He still has three years to travel freely, and those responsibilities and obligations are still some distance away from him.

Chongwen and Chongwu were not princely and noble, but they were two of Star Swirl's apprentices. From that moment on, the two were appointed by the emperor as the heirs to the title and fief, and when they went to Beijing at the age of 16 to officially accept the emperor's decree, they had to take on the responsibility of the prosperity of the empire and work hard for the prosperity, glory and wealth of their country.

Chongwen's fiefdom is to the south, and this place is the southernmost city near the sea in the frontier.

"But...... Elder brother! I still don't understand, you just said that such accidents are not unusual, so you ...... So why do you care about her like that? ”

"What?! I care about her? Will I care about her?! Brother, you were still pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade just now. This will say me again? Let me tell you this, I'm different from you, I'm ...... I just saw the 'ghost drawings' she drew on the temple wall and thought it was a little strange! Strange, strange, a little curious in my heart, curious...... Oh, didn't you listen to what the guy said just now, I haven't had a good life for a few days since I was born......

Chongwen talked a lot, Chongwu couldn't understand Chongwen's words if he wanted to break his head, and his pink and tender face was wrinkled into a pile in the facial features that had not yet opened. At this time, he hated that he was still a baby face, but more often he still enjoyed it, using this baby face to exaggerate all his thoughts and emotions, and he could get some unexpected facial feedback.

"Brother, what are you...... I think otherwise, this time you will be satisfied with your heroism, eh? ”

"Okay! Okay! My brother finally understood the righteousness. "Chongwen's slender white jade hands, tightening his belt, with a robe warm as jade, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows can't hide the smile, elegant as Lan Linfeng's temperament, indescribable romance." Okay, let's go and meet that 'ghost drawing' girl tomorrow. ”

"Brother, I don't understand, the name of the 'ghost drawing talisman' on the wall is nine out of ten like the one in the book, this is too coincidental, right? She's only eight years old, and besides, to put it bluntly, she's a village girl, how many books can she read? Looking at what happened to her, she shouldn't have seen anything in the market, and she didn't go to school. Chongwu frowned slightly, reached out and grabbed his hair, his eyes full of confusion.

"Where are so many words, maybe it's a coincidence? Let's go back to our room and rest, we need to go home before the beginning of autumn. Chongwen lifted his index finger and tapped Chongwu's head, smiling like a spring sun.

"Brother, you just understood the righteousness and said that I should be brave and righteous, and at this time you said that you were going back, you don't ......"

"My good brother, this time and that time, learning between a thousand changes, can't adapt, how can you become a big thing? For the benefit of this world? ”

On the second day, Chongwen and Chongwu said goodbye and continued to hurry.

Riding a horse along the small river to the west, when they reached the mouth of the West Village, they saw a group of people around the small temple, pointing and talking about something.
