Qi Hengxing, accompanied by his wife, stood in front of the second door.

"Do you know the origin of the 'Protector Cottage'? It is our ancestors who served the country loyally, drove out the invaders, and became the imperial pen of the emperor. Based on this alone, the emperor now has to take three steps back when he sees it, not to mention the Maomao officials of the provincial capital and county government, and they are scared to death when they say it. ”

"The Qi family village is very majestic. No wonder no government has dared to ask for it for so many years. ”

"It's just a picture. What makes the village even more stable is our strength and combat strength. Qi Hengxing said proudly, "Although we only have an army of 1,000 people, these 1,000 soldiers, all of them have unique skills and tricks, not only martial arts, good weapons, are all fierce generals on horseback, enough to defeat tens of thousands of emperor's regular army; ”

The lady said, "We will never return to obedience! How nice our mountain is, leisurely, whatever we want, like a small country." ”

"Or Madame understands my heart!" Qi Hengxing put his arm around Madame's shoulder, "If we want to attack the capital, we only need to transfer small teams from all over the country." But now, the old man doesn't want to do this anymore, he just wants to accompany the lady who knows me and understands me and loves me, and leave the great ambition to Nuda Yueda and them, and let them decide for themselves. ”

A rippling smile spread across Madame's face.

The guards on both sides of the door frame were nailed straight there, and only one of them glanced at him and quietly stuck out his tongue.

Florine's cottage, gorgeously furnished.

The mother and son are theorizing.

The voices are very small, but the expressions and words are extremely intense.

Qi Yue was restless, very impulsive.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You know, the moment I found out who the owner of the village really was, my internal organs were about to explode, and my head was dizzy. The owner of the village, the leader of the bandits, Qi Yueda... What a big joke that the wind and horses and cows can't match!"

"Yue'er, calm down, I won't tell you that it's a stockade system. Otherwise, we're all going to lose our heads. Didn't I tell you all about it now?"

Qi Yue sneered: "You often teach me how to behave in the world and what to do, but now it seems that it is all a lie!

"No!" Funin cried, "son, since I had you, my mother has been frightened every day, and I can't sleep at night." ”

"Then why stay?"

"You know, the stockade is very heavily guarded, especially for people of our status, as long as they are caught in escape, they will either be killed on the spot or tortured to death. My mother is timid and thinks of her family, it's really out of helplessness!"

Qi Yue's sleeves wiped her mother's tears, "Mother, I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile! Yue'er will take you away tonight." Escape far away and open up our new lives. Let them never be found, so that their mothers will always enjoy pure blessings. ”

"No!" she pounced, facing her own son, Funne fell to her knees on the ground, "My son doesn't know what a cruel man your father is. Even if we escape, everyone in your uncle's family will be affected, and he will kill them all. ”

Hearing this, Qi Yue couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp and his eyes widened.

Facing her mother, who often forced a smile in front of everyone, thinking of the survival and safety of everyone in her uncle's family, Qi Yue helped Fu Yin up with trembling hands, tears flowing, and she lost her opinion.

"Don't be sad, son. For the mother, she is already like this, and she is dead. You still have a bright path to follow, that is, listen to your father's words to take the top prize, if you are on the list, you can naturally leave the village and wholeheartedly realize your own life ideals. ”

"Mother! The management child is full of confidence, but after all, it is a needle in the sea. ”

"Believe in yourself! Self-confidence can make the mind leap. ”

"The child understands!"

······

I haven't seen Brother Mengyuan for a long time, my anger has been diluted by time, and my thoughts and worries arise spontaneously.

Qin'er was beautifully dressed, with a pair of big eyes that were very easy to cry under her eyebrows and bangs, and came to Zhou Mengyuan's residence.

The old woman in the cave.

On the kang, the old woman was counting the Buddha beads and telling stories to Mao Dan.

“···· The bad woman who often deceived the blind old woman turned into a hen and came to the old woman's house and laid eggs for the old woman to eat every day. The old woman asked, "Why do you want to give me eggs?" The hen was ashamed and said, "Grandma, I am your former neighbor's daughter-in-law, and every time I borrow flour from your house, I use the front basket, and when I return it, I use the bottom side." The front is deep, the bottom is shallow, you just touched it and made me fall, never doubted.

"Later, Lord Yama took me and beat me violently, knocked down the eighteenth layer of hell and turned into this chicken, laying eggs for eighteen years to repay your debts. The old woman smiled and said, as long as you know your mistakes and correct them, you are a good person. I'd rather die right away and tell Lord Yama to cancel your punishment. The kindness of the old woman touched the fairy, her eyes were healed, and the first thing she saw was a clean and beautiful little girl. The little girl said, "Thank you, Grandma!" I am the hen who became yours, and from now on I will be your maid. ”

Mao Dan's eyes flashed, "Grandma, do you think this Lord Yama is a bad person or a good person?"

"It's hard to say. As long as you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of him. ”

Qin'er stopped outside the door and listened carefully to the story before entering.

"Grandma, I'm Qin'er! Your body is still so tough. ”

"Qin'er!" the old woman reached out and touched Qin'er's face in surprise, "I haven't come to see grandma for a long time, where did you go?"

Qin'er put her hand into the quilt, "At home." Qin'er misses her grandmother, so come and have a look. ”

"Are you thinking about Yuan'er?" the old woman deliberately raised her voice, "Qin'er, men are all attentive, you have to pay attention." ”

When Qin'er arrived, Lingzhi, who was lying on Zhou Mengyuan's kang, heard the footsteps and glanced through the cracks in the window panels, lay down again, whispered to his ears, and bit his lip fiercely when he heard the old woman's words.

"Grandma, what has Brother Mengyuan been busy with lately? I have never seen him on the village road. ”

"He seems to be busy all the time. He said that he was going to a foreign country, it would take some days, and he had important things to do. For this, you can ask about Ganoderma lucidum. ”

Speaking of Ganoderma lucidum, Qin'er couldn't help but gasp, this selfish and poor cousin!

"Grandma, I'll burn the kang for you. ”

Mao Dan said, "Auntie is so good! I want to sleep on the hot kang." ”

Qin'er came out and carried the cage to the firewood pile.

There are not many firewood stacked against the cliff wall, and it won't take a few days, in case of a snowfall, what to use to burn the kang for grandma.

Qin'er picked up firewood, lit the kang for the old woman, and went to Zhou Mengyuan's cave.

Pushing open the door, I saw that Lingzhi was lying with his head covered on Zhou Mengyuan's kang, and he didn't feel pantothenic acid in the gastric juice, so he hurriedly withdrew.

"Qin'er. Wait a minute. Lingzhi lifted the quilt and said, "Sister has something to say to you." ”

Qin'er stopped and turned back and stood outside the door, "Seeing that my sister was asleep, Qin'er didn't dare to disturb." ”

"My sister is here to find the young master, right? It is said to be far, far away, in another country. ”

Qin'er was speechless, turned around and went back.

In the evening, Qin'er carried a bundle of dry firewood, put it on the pile and turned around and left.

Lingzhi, who was cooking in the kitchen, saw it, turned his back to the outside, and pretended not to see it.

As everyone knows, Qin'er has her own affairs and doesn't care about these.

What she cares about is Zhou Mengyuan's heart that loves her firmly.

However, seeing Lingzhi lying on the kang of the person she liked, and so freely, Qin'er's heart began to bleed coldly.

Qi Yue's loyalty, with a somewhat arrogant look, once again swept through Qin'er's mind.
