"How many days can it be?"

"It takes three days to take a fast horse by land, and half a day to change to a waterway, which is half a day faster than just taking the land route."

"Okay, I see, but do you know the roadmap?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to find a few people who have been to Ginger?" Huai Gongzi was surprised: "Why do you need to be so troublesome?

I'm really curious about which heroes dare to make this trip to troubled waters? ”

"There aren't a few, only .......me," Firecracker said.

"What do you say! Do you go on your own? Huai Gongzi asked in surprise.

"Well, I'm thinking about ......." Firecracker nodded.

"Are you a hero who has seen and heard too much?"

"How?"

"Do you know how ridiculous this is?"

"There are so many absurd things in the world, and I don't have more than one ......"

"Don't say it's you, even if it's a few strong tough guys, in the swamp of Yihai Lake, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out."

"I didn't ask you to come with me, why are you so nervous?"

Firecracker asked.

"I just don't want a fool to die in my ear and cause me to bear the sin."

The playboy under the mask explained.

"Don't worry, even if this sin is shared on the second lady, you won't have ......"

“.......”

"Tell me, do you know the roadmap?"

Firecracker asked with a wink.

"Tell me, what prompted you to make this decision today?"

“.......”

Firecrackers listened but were silent.

"I didn't think you had half a heart a few days ago."

"Today, I went to South Park, and I looked at the desperate appearance of the second lady, as if I saw my former self."

"Once upon a time?"

"Yes, I was abandoned outside the Buddhist temple by my parents since I was a child, and the abbot sent me to a nearby village for foster care, because I was a female doll.

None of the villagers wanted to take me in, but they couldn't bear to let me fend for myself, so they raised me in the river temple and grew up eating a hundred meals.

I am a famous wild girl in the village, always running around, and no one can catch my shadow, so I gradually get used to it, just send my own leftovers to the door of the river temple,

When I went back, I went out to look for my parents, and when I returned, it was late at night, but I saw the fire in the village from afar, and I was wailing.

I ran back to the river temple, only to find out that it was the government that was escorting a group of exiled prisoners through the village, and did not want the prisoners to escape on the way, so they attacked the guards and slaughtered most of the villagers, and only a dozen people escaped.

I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but I heard the sound of a baby crying behind me, I knew that it was a family surnamed Hu at the head of the village, her daughter-in-law treated me very well on weekdays, and often came to visit me at the River Temple with a child who was just half a year old.

I couldn't bear the child to be killed, so I turned around and rushed into the house, and saw that the Hu family had suffered an accident, the corpse was lying on the ground, the house was also on fire, and the baby was crying screaming in the arms of the Hu family's daughter-in-law, and I didn't know that my mother had died.

I escaped from the house with the Hu family child in my arms, and took advantage of the night to run back to the river temple, holding the baby and hiding behind the statue.

Perhaps God had mercy on us, or perhaps the child was tired of crying, but when the two murderers found the vicinity of the river temple, the child gradually stopped crying and began to fall asleep.

They rummaged around in the river temple, and I held the baby behind the statue and did not dare to move.

Finally, a quarter of an hour later, they were about to leave.

Just when I thought I had finally escaped, I heard the voice of a murderer say:

"Otherwise, we'll burn down this river temple as well......"

Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"You don't want to die? Even the temple wants to burn? The other disagreed.

"Damn it? We've killed so many people, and our lives have long been dead! ”

"I can't be the master, otherwise I'll go over and ask the general later, and listen to what he means."

"It's good ......."

"But you look at the river god like a fierce god, I'm afraid you really can't afford to offend."

"No matter how fierce you are, can you still kill our general?" The murderer who burned the temple in Zhang Luo suddenly laughed:

"But, you're right, this idol is a little angry, we were sentenced to exile to the frontier, didn't we escape because we didn't want to die halfway?

If you really accidentally offend the gods, won't it all be in vain? That's it, don't burn it, don't burn it......"

"Let's go, hurry back, the general told us to fight quickly."

The laughter between the two grew apart, but I kept hiding behind the idols, afraid that they would turn back, and after a long time, the shouting outside was gone.

I put the child down and walked out of the temple to inspect it myself, not wanting to be caught by the outlaws who had just finished bathing by the river.

He took me back to the village by the collar, threw me into the pile of corpses, slashed me three times, and when I saw that I was no longer moving, he turned and left.

In fact, his three knives were not the key to me, and I didn't know that I picked up a straw mat outside that day and put it on my body, and the last fatal knife was blocked by the straw mat.

I was lying on the pile of dead people, the wound on my back was bleeding, and all I gasped for breath was the choking smell of burning and the smell of blood in the sky, I didn't dare to cough, I endured it.......

I thought I was going to die, I really thought I was going to die, I looked sideways at the dark sky, desperately waiting for the moment when death would find me.

Just as I was gradually becoming unconscious, I heard the boss they had been calling the general, ordering his men to burn all the dead villagers, and they retreated to the south.

The fire burned more and more around me, and the roasting around me was hot, and even a little warmer, and at that moment I even suddenly felt that death was not such a terrible thing......

"And then? How did you escape the Ascension? ”

It was the first time that Huai Gongzi had listened to her so patiently for so long.

"Just when I was dazed, thinking that I had been pulled by Lord Yama, I heard the sound of someone coming from outside the village, it was the villagers who had escaped and ran dozens of miles to report to the official.

When I heard the sound, I struggled with the last of my strength and crawled out desperately.

"Alas! Alas! Hurry up! There's a girl here who isn't dead yet! ”

Just before I was completely plunged into darkness, someone finally found me.

When I woke up again, it was in the nearby county town, and the child I had hidden behind the idol was also found and carried out by the villagers because he woke up crying again.

We were investigated by the government several times and sent back, but who would dare to go back to the village?

Fearing the revenge of those vicious people, the village has become an ominous place with so many deaths.

Among the dozen or so people who survived, there were relatives of the Hu family, who took the baby with them, and I began to wander aimlessly.

Recalling the past, firecrackers can't help but still have a lot of emotion, I don't know how the little baby with a big life is doing now?

"So, when you see the second lady's desperate appearance today, you think of yourself lying in the pile of dead people waiting for death?"

Huai Gongzi asked.

"Yes, but I was lucky that I was saved......"

"So you want to be the one who saves people now?"

"I'm just, I know the feeling of powerlessness, the second lady is not bad, except for her temper, the rest are very good, even if I know that my time is short, I still remember a few of us maids in my heart,

She is kind in nature, it shouldn't end like this, since God has fulfilled my life, I should also fulfill the lives of others, right? ”

"I'm afraid I can't reach your dusty thoughts like this......"

She knew that this Huai Gongzi was not praising her.

"If it were me, I would still hope to do something great instead of sacrificing myself to save others......"

"Isn't it a big deal to sacrifice yourself to save others?"

"Giving up the big self to become the small self, that's what stupid people do!"

"The bird's ambition is to know the bird! Little girl, don't you know your ambitions......"

"That's it, if you know yourself, I'll go find you a pen and paper, and it can be regarded as the fulfillment of your ambition!"

Huai Gongzi jumped off the tree lightly and disappeared into the night.

After a while, he returned to the bottom of the tree, pen and paper in his hand.

"Where did you get that?"

"....... in your master's study"

“.......”

"Well, I'll show you the route I know, and a few paths, you can choose when you pour."

"Good ......."

After drawing the map, Huai Gongzi threw the brush into the grass.

"Hey, don't throw it around, the master's brush is different from everyone else's, what if someone finds it nearby and says I'm stealing?"

"That's your business......"

"You're a man!"

"You haven't thanked me yet?" Huai Gongzi jumped under the tree and stood with his back on his back.

"Thank you!" Firecracker reluctantly spat out two words from his mouth.

"Insincere."

"Humph!" Firecracker sighed, jumped off the tree, and gave him a salute in a proper manner: "Thank you for your help, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Remember to come back alive, it's too boring for me to dominate this tree by myself......"

With that, he strode away.

"I will......"

Firecracker looked at his back and muttered, in fact, this person is not too ruthless!

Early the next morning, Firecrackers guarded the door of the East Garden, hoping that the old lady would come back and inform her of the incident, and begged her to give her some entanglement and go with the guards.

But at noon, the old lady did not return.

An Ning accompanied the old lady to go, and there were only a few maids left in the garden who were not familiar with her, and she couldn't ask anything.

"Firecrackers? What are you doing here? ”

When she heard the prestige, she saw that it was Hengyuan, the young master of Dongyuan.

"Young Master Hengyuan......"

Firecrackers quickly stood up.

"Slave, waiting for the old lady to return......"

"My grandmother fell ill due to the fatigue of traveling recently, and now the neighboring county has two days off and can't come back today."

"What? The old lady fell ill......."

"Yes, is there something wrong with you?"

"The old lady will be back in two days, won't she?"

"I'm not sure, I have to look at the condition first, after all, the old man is old, and he can't toss because of Nanyuan's affairs recently, this disease, I don't know when it will get better......

Counting from two days, I'm afraid that five days is possible, I can't wait any longer!

Firecracker's thoughts were suddenly confused, how good is this!

"Firecrackers? What happened to you? Why is your face so ugly all of a sudden? ”

Hengyuan looked at her face blue and purple for a while, thinking that it was because he was worried about his grandmother's condition.

"It's okay, the slave and maid retired first......"

Bidding farewell to Hengyuan, the firecrackers did not dare to delay, and escaped from the house straight into the dog hole.
