Behind the inner gate is another courtyard, neatly lined up with several carts, the strange thing is the beast pulling the cart, not ordinary horses, but several tall deer, the long horns on the top of the head are as white as snow, the most strange thing is the color of the fur on their bodies, like the rainbow light, extremely dazzling and beautiful.

The little mallet saw such a strange and beautiful animal for the first time, and couldn't help staring at it for a long time, when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter not far behind him, and a small voice ridiculed: "Where did you come from called Hanako, I smelled a smell from afar." ”

The sound of laughter sounded, and the little mallet turned around, and saw several little boys sitting in a small pavilion in the courtyard, all neat and tidy, with red lips and white teeth, they were staring at themselves and smiling, turning their heads and eyebrows, and at a glance they knew that they had not said anything good.

She followed the master to wander outside, over the years she has seen a lot of warmth and coldness, has always adhered to the principle of not causing trouble, these boys are beautifully dressed, at first glance they are the children of rich and noble families, more things are better than less things, she pretended not to hear, turned around and continued to look at the deer.

"Tu Baozi, I haven't even seen Honglu, you see, his eyes are about to fall off. ”

The snickering behind her continued, and the little mallet silently avoided in the other direction, and there was no one in the northwest corner, she walked over and sat on the ground, and let out a long breath.

There were already more than a dozen children gathered in the courtyard, the youngest looked to be only six or seven years old, and the eldest girl was a head taller than everyone around her, all of whom should have passed the first test. Xiao Bangmao remembered the bustling crowd outside, so many people, so many people have only been selected until now, and the primary election is so difficult, I don't know what the second election is.

She wondered if the hoarse voice that appeared in her ear at the beginning of the election sounded like an old man, did he continue to follow her now?

"Old gentleman...... Are you there, old man?" she called in a low voice, "thank you for reminding me. ”

No one answered her.

The little mallet looked around, but never found any suspicious figure, and then she spoke again: "Old man, are you gone? What do you mean by holding my breath?

Still no one answered, the little mallet scratched her hair, could it be that she was hallucinating just now?

The dark inner door suddenly opened, but this time there were three dusty children in a row, who looked about the same age as themselves, and their clothes were patched, although they were cleaner than themselves, but they were not much better, two girls walked in front, a boy followed behind, as if they knew each other, and one of the girls was chattering non-stop.

"Ahh

This exaggerated behavior was obviously laughed at by the rich boys in the pavilion again, and a boy in green learned from her in a strange way: "Sister! Look! Wow, people have never seen it! Fairy beast!"

The girl's face flushed with laughter, her lips twitched, as if she wanted to hit back a few words, but the boy next to her gently pulled her aside and whispered, "Ignore them." ”

The three of them turned around and saw a ragged little mallet in the corner, and they were all stunned for a moment, probably not expecting to see the same down-and-out kind who were also covered in patches here.

"Are you alone?" the girl smiled as she walked over, "Can we sit together?"

The little mallet nodded, and wiped the bricks beside him with his sleeve: "Sit down." ”

"My name is Baili Gelin, I am ten years old this year, and this is my sister Baili Singing Yue, who is twelve years old this year. By the way, he is our younger brother, his name is Ye Ye, haha, isn't it a strange name?"

Singing the moon, Gelin, will give such an elegant name to their own girl, it shouldn't be an ordinary peasant couple, not to mention the surname "Baili", this is a very rare surname, she seems to have heard it somewhere...... Why did the two sisters look so down? They also said that the boy next to them was their younger brother, but not their own brother? Even their surnames were different......

The little stick mallet looked at the three of them silently, although the sisters were dressed in rags and covered with dirt, they were beautiful, and they had their own charm in their gestures, not like the daughters of ordinary people. The boy named Ye Ye was also clear-minded, completely different from those muddy children in the countryside.

"Who's your brother. Ye Ye glanced at Baili Gelin, "I'm a year older than you, you should call me brother." ”

He nodded at the little mallet as a greeting: "I only met them a year ago, and everyone has nowhere to go, so they can just be companions and take care of each other." ”

"What's your name?" said Baili Gorin, holding her arm by the arm, next to the small mallet.

"Little mallet, I'm ten years old. ”

"Poof......" Baili Gorin laughed, "Little mallet, how could anyone call it by such a name? What's your last name?"

The little mallet retracted the arm she was holding: "I don't have a surname, I was picked up by the master, and the name was chosen by the master." ”

Baili Golin hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean ......"

"Look, sharp teeth and sharp mouths, offend people all day long. Ye Ye tapped lightly on Baili Gelin's head, and said, "She has always been brainless when she speaks, don't think too much." Do you have a master, who taught you the Immortal Fa?"

The little mallet nodded: "Well, Master taught me the arts, but unfortunately I didn't have the talent to learn it." ”

"Don't be modest. Ye Ye laughed, "If you can pass the primary selection of the Young Phoenix Academy, your talent will not be bad." ”

Primary...... In fact, she doesn't know how she passed the primary...... The little mallet touched her head, and she remembered that hoarse voice, it should not be an auditory hallucination, who was he?

Maybe it was because the laughter on their side was getting louder and louder, and the rich boys in the pavilion began to sneer again: "It's really a big deal to ask Hanako to get together, and discuss begging for food together?"

Baili Golin showed a look of disgust on his beautiful little face, and said in a low voice: "It's really annoying, these people. ”

"Why bother with them. Ye Ye squatted beside her, "It should be some powerful children in the family, just let them move their mouths, maybe none of them will be able to pass the second choice." ”

"What is the second choice, do you know?" Seeing that he seemed to know a lot about these things, the little mallet couldn't help but ask.

Ye Ye shook his head: "Think about it, a small Lugong Town has elected so many people, how many people do we have to add up to so many places in Middle Earth? There are only a few dozen people who can enter the Young Phoenix Academy every year, so isn't that one in a hundred thousand or a million?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a black shadow shooting from behind, hitting the back of his neck, Ye Ye snorted in pain, and fell to the ground unable to hold on. There was something rolling down from his bones, but it was an ingot of five taels of silver. A few boys in the pavilion made faces at them and laughed, "Reward you!

Too much deception. The little mallet frowned, and was about to get up, when he suddenly saw Baili Singing Yue, who had been silent on the side, bending down to pick up the silver, and walking towards the pavilion step by step.

"Sing the moon!" Ye Ye grabbed her, "I'm fine, don't go." ”

"You've been beaten. Baili Singyue frowned slightly, and her tone was indifferent, which was diametrically opposed to her lively sister who could talk and laugh.

"I don't hurt, don't make trouble!" Ye Ye dragged her.

While she was talking, the dark inner door opened again, and a little girl with luxurious clothes and beautiful appearance came in, and the children in the courtyard couldn't help but look at her secretly, the little girl looked arrogant, her back was very straight, and she walked in without squinting, like a little phoenix. A few boys in the pavilion stopped making a fuss, and after a while, a boy in yellow ran out of it, and I didn't know what to say to her, and invited her to sit in the pavilion together.

"This looks like the daughter of some prince and nobleman. Ye Ye smiled bitterly, and dragged Baili Singing Moon back to sit beside him, "I'm fine, if you have a temper tantrum, you'll have to fight, why bother making trouble?"

He snatched the money and threw it away, without looking at it.

"Does it hurt?" Baili Songyue reached out and gently rubbed his neck, "It's swollen." ”

"It's not broken. He shook his head, "Look, it's good." ”

Baili Golin laughed and made a grimace at him: "The skin is rough and the meat is thick!"

Maybe because there was a little beauty in the pavilion, the children didn't want to make her unhappy, and the rich kids stopped for the time being. Gradually, as Ye Ye said, there are more and more children who have passed the primary election, and seeing the sun setting, the primary election will soon end, and it is said that the cart pulled by these rainbow deer will take them to another place for the second election, and those who are not selected will be pulled home by the cart.

If she didn't pass the second choice, where would the cart send her? Master is gone, she has no home, she can't pass the second choice, maybe she won't have the opportunity to find the master and the senior brother in her life, what should the master do? What should she do herself? Can she only wander the world alone?

She was thinking about it when the dark inner door opened again, and a little boy who looked cowering walked in, looking seven or eight years old, the same ragged and dirty, but he was not as bold as the people of Baili Gelin, he shrunk his shoulders all the way into the courtyard, did not dare to raise his head, and bowed vigorously to apologize when he accidentally bumped into someone--he must have been a child who had endured all kinds of hardships.

The little mallet suddenly felt uncomfortable, she couldn't pass the second choice, and without the master, she might become like this in the future, she didn't know anything, she had no means of making a living, she could only live alone with a smile on her face, she was oppressed by life and was so enslaved that she was afraid when she saw people.

The little boy trembled and shrank in a corner, and after a while, he probably found a gorgeous and beautiful little girl sitting in the pavilion, and even he couldn't help but look up a few more times. His cowering appearance was so striking that the rich children in the pavilion immediately couldn't sit still, and one of the children jumped up and yelled, "Hey, what are you looking at?!"

The little boy suddenly let out an "ah" and pointed at the little beauty and cried.

"You...... You ......" he stammered, his face flushed, as if he was angry and anxious, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Do you know him?" asked a boy in white in the pavilion.

The little beauty frowned unhappily: "How could I know such a beggar! This beggar is so bold! He dares to point his finger at me!"

The boys in the pavilion "buzzed" and made a fuss, and someone picked up a rock and threw it at it, shouting, "Get out!"

The fist-sized stone just hit the little boy's forehead, and he was bleeding all over his face, crying out in pain, and crying heartbreakingly.

However, the more he cried, the more stones were thrown at him, and in a few strokes he broke his head and bleed, and he crouched on the ground and cried quieter.

"It's too much!" Baili Golin was so angry that his eyes were on fire, "No one cares?!"

As soon as the words fell, the small mallet on the side had already run over, and she grabbed the boy who was crying and said angrily: "What are you crying for?!

When she yelled, the child cried even more, and his nose and tears were mixed with blood, making his face a mess.

The wind sounded behind her head, and the little mallet nimbly dodged the stone that was smashing at her, and she turned to look coldly at the boys in the pavilion.

"Today I will teach you a lesson for your father. She rolled up her sleeves, sighed into her palm, bent down to pick up a stone, and threw it hard, only to hear a "pop", and the face of a boy in the pavilion was suddenly swollen by the stone, and he covered his face and screamed.

Everyone was stunned, probably no one expected that this little flower child would dare to beat those children in the pavilion, and the children of the princes and nobles were sitting there!

The small mallet moves very fast, she can't learn magic skills, but her fist and foot kung fu is really good, smashing people with stones and smashing them accurately, all of them hit the cheeks, and for a while the pavilion cried and screamed. The white-clothed boy who looked like the boss was stupid, and pointed at her with a trembling hand, and his words were not good: "You, you are so bold...... Do you know, do you know who I am?!"

"Give you back the silver!" The little mallet picked up the silver ingots that they had just thrown five taels of silver, and with a twist of his wrist, the silver "snapped" and threw it on the face of the boy in white, pumping very loudly, and what was even more powerful was that the silver slapped his face but did not fall, but bounced, and just landed on the top of his head, exactly the same point.

Except for the little beauty with a green face in the pavilion, no one was standing, covering their faces and wailing. The little mallet clapped his hands, waved his fist towards the pavilion, and sneered: "Comfortable, right?"
