Halfway through the horse, two lightning bolts swept over his head, and large cold raindrops fell down, wetting the clothes of passers-by. He Angelica felt that this level of rain was not a problem, and she was the first to hurry, but Shuqin's cry of "ah-" forced her to hold the reins, and turned around and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Shuqin?" ”

There were no lights on the road at night, and a bolt of lightning brightened up two beautiful and delicate faces, one with an indifferent expression, and the other with an uncharacteristically frightened look. He Angelica stared at it and found that Shuqin's eyes were scattered, her nostrils were open, and she didn't seem to be pretending, so she couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "Hey, shouldn't you be...... Afraid of thunder, right? ”

As soon as he finished asking, the thunder that was half a quarter later than the lightning "rumbled" and smashed down, and the firecrackers released during the New Year's Festival were resounding, and Shuqin had a vague cry.

He Angelica's head was sweating, thundering, was it so terrifying. Looking around, the teahouse in front of it collapsed, and the door was gone, as if I could go in to avoid the rain, so I led two horses directly into the building. After the horse was bolted, his eyes were not yet fully adjusted to the darkness, and he took a few steps forward at random, and stepped on the soles of his feet on a soft mass.

The thing made a strange noise, He Angelica put away his feet, took out the fire fold, and it was so wet that it couldn't be used, and he used a more troublesome flint. After tinkering for a while, the flames burst up, reflecting the broken table and chair legs and broken wood slag all over the ground. The soft thing she accidentally stepped on was gone, was it a feral cat or someone's dog?

"Woo, don't ...... Don't ...... like this" Shuqin shrank in the corner, still bothered by the thunder, crying pitifully. He Angelica used broken wood to build a fire, and at the same time felt powerless, and the woman's screams were too misleading. Everyone is a woman, can you torture her ears less.

Shuqin couldn't hear her true heart, and every time there was a thunder, she cried. The warm fire burned brightly, but it could not illuminate the black line hanging from He Angelica's head.

"Miss Shuqin, thunder is far away in the sky, and under normal circumstances, it can't split people, so you can just listen to it as a cannonball. Isn't crying when you're scared in your heart, isn't it something that children do to their elders? "There's no such thing as a flood of compassion here.

He Angelica licked her dry lips and tried to persuade her to calm down. Unexpectedly, the frightened little wild cat exploded all of a sudden, and yelled: "You said light, you are not afraid of thunder and are very proud?" You don't have something to be afraid of? ”

Acting so excited, that is, can't be persuaded? He Angelica simply didn't waste his saliva, went to the back kitchen, and found a pot of herbal tea, half a jar of honey, a plucked raw chicken, and a plate of peanut kernels in sauce. The whole teahouse seemed to have been ransacked by bandits, and there were few complete things to be found, but for her, who was cold, hungry and numb in the scalp, the food was good enough.

The white chicken is set on a simple wooden grill, coated with sparkling honey, and turned back and forth twice, and the oil star of Zizi bursts, gradually becoming golden and attractive.

He Angelica faced the spout, raised his head and took a sip, folded off a chicken wing that was about to be overroasted, and turned back to ask Shuqin in the corner: "Do you want to eat?" Shuqin nodded, and the chicken wings were tossed over and landed right in her hands.

While eating, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet. When a roast chicken was cleaned up and the two washed their hands with tea, Shuqin couldn't help but speak first: "I haven't harmed that Yiyi, the Gu poison was ordered by Mrs. Xu, and she was ordered by Mrs. Guan." I also fell for Mrs. Guan's plan, and I was so busy in vain that I almost lost my life! If you want to seek justice for your own people, you should go to the Guan family! ”

He Angelica glanced at the bag that Shuqin had grabbed in his hand from beginning to end, which contained the Gu King, and asked lightly: "As soon as Xu Po died that day, you pretended to be crazy and took the things you took, a stack of paper figures, didn't you take it for fun, right?" ”

Before she finished asking, Shuqin's face changed, and her eyes were extremely wary when she looked at He Angelica.

He Angelica said: "I don't want to pursue the past, even the old lady Guan is not worth doing it yourself, let alone embarrassing you." Why don't we take out the Gu King and the paper man and divide it, how about saving people and saving people, how about taking what they need? When it's over, if you want to leave the country, I can help you with the money. ”

Shuqin snorted, turned her head and said, "I can't trust you, if I were you, I wouldn't be so kind." I won't hand over the Gu King, don't you know martial arts, you have the ability to rob it. Is it okay to have silver? Mrs. Guan is much richer than you! ”

If you don't cooperate, it's going to be difficult. The two distant mountains frowned, and the conversation fell silent.

It lasted for a while, just when Shuqin thought that Angelica had nothing to say, the girl on the opposite side suddenly removed the double-strand silver hairpin on her hair, the bun slipped away, the black satin spread all over her shoulders, and the dark fragrance of flowers immediately filled the room. She combed her hair with her hands, and said her words as if no one was around: "When I was a child, there were mostly boys in the Zhuangzi where I lived, savage and not gentle, and I couldn't find anyone to play with me, so I walked two miles to the small umbrella village next door, and watched the girls there turn over the flower rope and jump the lattice, and I was very envious...... I remember a pair of beautiful sisters, the younger sister was three or four years older than me, and her hair was black and shiny, and the sisters had a very good relationship. ”

Small Umbrella Village. These three words made Shuqin's eyebrows jump, what did He Angelica want to say?

"The first time I went to Qingyuan, I met a maid named Bo'er, which is said to be a 'gift' from King Yan to the Meng brothers." He Angelica glanced at Shuqin with a smile and observed her reaction, "It's a very interesting maid, but it's not very glorious, she abducted a group of children, and she was fed white and swollen, so she followed ...... Feed the pigs the same. Farmers feed pigs to eat pork, Shuqin, you say, what is the use of silk to feed children like that? ”

He Angelica's voice is like spring water in the dark night, listening gracefully, echoing in the small space of the teahouse. Listening to her, even the thunder outside seemed far away, but at this moment, Shuqin, who was afraid of thunder, would rather listen to the thunder than analyze the meaning of He Angelica's words. Because, she seems to know everything!

No one answered, but He Angelica spoke with relish: "Originally, I thought, children are soft and glutinous, who can bear to hurt them?" Bo'er bought it from traffickers, probably idle and bored, training a group of loyal servants and dead soldiers. So I found out at the time, and I simply handed over the matter to the government to deal with, and I didn't think much about it, hehe. ”

The laughter made Shuqin tremble, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What circle do you want to go around?" I can't understand a word of silk or children! ”

"Don't understand, or don't want to listen?"

"He Angelica, you are enough! Believe it or not, I'll let the Gu King bite you to death? Shuqin slammed the teacup in her hand and stood up angrily.

He Angelica combed his black hair disapprovingly, and said slowly: "Later, I went back to Yangzhou City, and I learned that the missing children and virgins in the city happened every day, which made the people panic. Meng Xuan also tracked down for a while, stepped on several abduction gangs, and rescued many women, but there were still more than 30 missing children, which were silently dried in the sun like droplets. It's so pitiful, the baby child raised in his yard is gone, and he can't be recovered. Shuqin, you also had a child once, and you must be able to experience the feeling of seeing the child gone, right? ”

When Shuqin heard this, she turned her face to the side, bit her lip and said in a low voice: "What's the matter with me, it's not me who kidnapped." ”

"Bo'er, it's your sister. You and Bo'er are the sisters on the small umbrella village. The person to whom Bo'er is loyal is not King Yan, you two sisters have other masters, right? He Angelica told the guess in his heart in a declarative tone, and deepened the affirmation in the eyes of the woman opposite, and this is the case.

Shuqin was completely stunned, and a storm was brewing in her eyes. He Angelica smiled and said: "This is just guessed, although I have a very good impression of a pair of sisters I envied when I was a child, but I didn't recognize you or Silk when I looked at you." The eighteen changes of the female college really can't think of you and the village girl together. Thinking back to Bo'er, look at you again, it's really a little similar-" After a pause, he asked, "You are her sister, you must know what she plans to do with her child?" ”

“…… No, I don't know. Shuqin said.

He Angelica made a hairy "hehe" again, the black hair like a waterfall was pulled into a twist, and he asked with a toothy smile: "Have you heard of the nursery rhymes rumored in the capital?" There is a big devil in the east, who eats his younger brother in the morning and his sister in the evening, and he doesn't want to be eaten, so he doesn't cry at home. Who would dare to believe that this is not a nursery rhyme that deceives children into obedience, but a real horror in a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

A clammy cold wind blew in outside, and Shuqin shrunk her neck.

He Angelica also tightened his neckline, his dark eyes were more fearful than the abyss, but he still retained a smile on his lips, explaining the meaning behind the nursery rhyme: "The so-called 'East' refers to Dongchang, the man-eating demon is the nine-thousand-year-old man who is above ten thousand people under one person, Cao Hongrui and Cao Gonggong." The batch of 'little fat pigs' raised by Bo'er is exclusively for the East Factory, right? At that time, those people were in Yangzhou, and Cao Hongrui's righteous son also had a habit of eating children, and everything could be connected. However, you are so ruthless, if you are not your own child, it doesn't matter at all......"

"No, it's not!" Shuqin retreated in a panic and let out a piercing scream, interrupting He Angelica's words, "These are all your guesses, they are all fake!" ”

"Fake? What is the real reason, can I know? Looking directly into those flustered eyes, he asked softly, "Who are your sisters loyal to, and what you want to do in Qingyuan has already been done?" ”

Shuqin took two steps back, stepping on something soft and thick under her feet, she didn't look back, just hung her head dejectedly and said, "My sister has not heard from me so far, and it's useless to talk about these things again." The task given to us by my father-in-law is difficult to reach the sky, and we will never find it, and the only thing waiting for our two sisters is death. ”

He Angelica stood up quietly, and then walked towards Shuqin. Shuqin nervously shouted, "Don't come here!" I didn't hurt you, I want to avenge your nephew, you should also go to your father-in-law, and have nothing to do with our sisters!" ”

"Father-in-law? You mean Cao Hongrui? Revenge for your nephew? Are you talking about Brother Zhu or Brother Wei'er? ”

“…… Two. ”
