fate

On August 15, the Lotus Town at night is several times more lively than usual, juggling, lantern riddles, all kinds of delicious and interesting things are dazzling.

In a corner next to the lantern seller, there is a group of people gathered together, stretching their heads to look inside, as if there is some wonderful performance, while watching and discussing with the people around and around, slowly more and more people are attracted here,

"Wow, it's so lively, haha" A little girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old had probably never seen such a lively scene, and she sighed in admiration.

The little girl was accompanied by two little boys, also fifteen or sixteen years old, who looked like brothers, one taller and the other lower. followed the praise one after another, and stretched his head to look inside, only to see that the fire was soaring inside, and a tall man with a sturdy figure was performing a fire-breathing performance.

"That's amazing!" An incredible expression appeared on the little girl's childish face.

"That's a great thing, I'll do it." The little girl looked for prestige, and the person who said this happened to be standing next to her, but the man was staring at the performance inside, as if nothing had happened.

The fire erupted even more from the eldest brother in "Huh" this time, illuminating the faces of the audience next to him. Taking advantage of the light of these fires, the little girl saw the appearance of the man next to her clearly, his face was angular from the side, and she could not see any expression, and her eyes looked even darker under the light of the fire.

A gust of wind blew, and the smell of herbs permeated the surroundings.

"Huh? This taste。。。。。。 ”

Before you know it, the show is over, and a child stops in front of the little girl with a plate, begging for a reward.

"Oh oh" The little girl came back to her senses, took off the money bag on her body, and was about to reach out to take out the money, when she saw a black shadow swishing in front of her, and before she could react, the money bag in her hand had long been gone.

"Thief, stop !!" The two little boys next to him heard the shouts of their companions, and followed the direction of the little girl to chase in the direction, for a while, the lively assembly became a chase of four people, there were many people in the market, and there would be congestion when walking, but the thief did not seem to be afraid of these, in the face of the crowded crowd, he took off and jumped on the roof with the help of a foot on the shoulders of pedestrians, and the little girl chased forward desperately, but watched the thief disappear into the black night sky, and was sulking, and the two companions behind also chased up, Seeing that she stopped, and did not chase any further,

"I'll just say we'll be with my family on August 15, and now I'll be beaten up again when I go back," said the shorter companion.

The little girl was originally robbed of her wealth and was sulking in her heart, and when she heard him say this, she was even more angry. Glared at him and said angrily

"Quartz, Ishixiong, you wait, sooner or later one day I will catch him and beat him up well." When these two brothers heard such outrageous words, they showed helpless expressions, these two people are brothers, and even their expressions are very similar, although their faces are very similar, but the eldest brother Quartz is taller, and they don't complain too much when they encounter such a thing, they are more mature and calm, and the one who is a little shorter is Shi Xiong.

Quartz pulled the corner of her clothes and said in a low voice: "Bai Wei, let's go home first, you have been out of a girl's house for so long, your father must be worried." ”

"He won't, he only has his medicinal herbs in his heart." When the little girl heard Quartz say this, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Bai Wei is the name of this little girl, since she was born, her mother has not been known, when she was a child she would always ask her father where her mother went, but her father always kept silent about her mother, as if she did not have a mother from some crevice.

Quartz knew that Bai Wei had no mother since she was a child, so she knew that she was angry when she said this.

"It's not too early, it's time to go back, you don't want to go up the mountain with us tomorrow?" Bai Wei's expression slowly eased when she heard him say this, she did discuss with the Shi family brothers tomorrow to go to Lotus Mountain, I heard that there will be a joint fighting meeting there, and it will only be such an event in ten years, how can such a bustle be without her? So he nodded,

"Let's go." With that, the three disappeared into the crowd.

As soon as Bai Wei walked to the door of the house, before she reached the courtyard, she heard the laughter inside, and the laughter was endless, Bai Wei didn't know who her father was talking to so happily. I wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but as soon as I got into the yard, my father shouted,

"Wei'er, come and see your uncle Tanglin", the courtyard was not big, there was a stone table and a few stone benches in the middle, and my father was sitting in front of the door, as soon as Bai Wei came in, my father saw her. Father's face was full of joy at this time, it seemed that it was the first time Bai Wei had seen her father so happy, what kind of friend was he?

Bai Wei saw the figure with her back to her, a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, a snow-white overshirt looked extraordinarily unconventional in the moonlight, and slowly approached the person's side, making a gesture,

"I've seen Uncle Tanglin."

"Miss Bai Wei" The man nodded slightly, raised his glass, and drank it all.

"Huh? Why is the sound so familiar? Bai Wei muttered in a low voice, "No, how did he know that I was a girl." I'm obviously dressed as a man. Depressed, I raised my head to see the true face of this "Uncle Tanglin", just opposite his eyes, wasn't this the person who stood next to me in the bazaar just now to watch the fire-breathing show?

"How are you?" Bai Wei asked in surprise.

"What, you know?" Bai Ying also felt strange when she saw her daughter asking this.

"Oh, I met Ling Ai at the market just now, Miss Bai Wei, it seems that we are really destined tonight."

"Wei'er, why are you wearing a man's costume again, and you haven't come back until now, what are you doing?!" Bai Ying also felt that it was an accident when she heard this explanation, so she didn't ask any further, but just saw Bai Wei's man's outfit and asked again.

When Bai Wei heard her father say this, she was worried and didn't know how to answer,

"Miss Bai Wei wants to go out to play, she can go out to play openly as a daughter, and dress as a man, is she afraid that others will recognize her and come to the door for fear of causing trouble?"

This guy actually fell into the ground.

"What, Wei'er, you're in trouble again?" Bai Ying's face became serious.

"Ah, no, isn't there a rally today, go out and see the excitement." Seeing that her father no longer questioned, Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, there was no danger, fortunately there were guests today, otherwise she would be grounded again, and tomorrow's plan would be ruined. I was secretly glad in my heart, but this little luck was seen by the person next to me, Bai Wei found out that it was too late, and when she returned it with her eyes, Tanglin looked even more interested.

"Dad, why didn't I know I had an uncle?" Bai Wei asked.

"Oh, a year ago, I was seriously injured and fell on Lotus Mountain because of a conspiracy, thanks to your father who found me while collecting medicine and saved my life, so I bowed to your father and became brothers."

I didn't ask him, but he said so much for my father. Bai Wei thought to herself.

"Oh, then, Uncle Tanglin, you should be about the same age as my father, right?"

He almost didn't vomit the wine he had just drunk when he heard me.

"What nonsense, your uncle is only twenty, although he is only five years older than you, he just bowed to me, according to his generation, you should call him uncle."

"Yes, Uncle Tanglin." Bai Wei couldn't help laughing, shook slightly, and was about to go back to the room.

"Girl, you're done drinking, are you still there?" Tanglin raised the empty wine bottle and asked. It's that kind of look again.

"Why are you stunned, I'm going to get some wine for your Uncle Tanglin again." Seeing that her daughter didn't react, Bai Ying urged.

"Oh," Bai Wei pouted, picking up the empty bottle on the table.

Bai Wei walked to the kitchen, just to the west of the courtyard, measured the capacity of the wine with a spoon and then carefully put it into the wine bottle, this bottle was not much, two spoons were full, just about to plug the stopper, ready to go out, when I heard shouting outside

"Bai Wei, you come out for me!"

Slowly, the voices got louder and louder, and the number of people yelling was increasing. Bai Wei listened carefully and only heard one sentence clearly

"She just hit my mother in the market, and she left without care, and now my mother is unconscious."

My God, now Bai Wei remembered that she ran so fast when she was chasing the thief just now, as if she had hit something, but she was thinking about chasing the thief at the time, and she didn't bother to look carefully, so she remembered at this time.

What a disaster!
