forty-eight
In the middle of the night, the sky was dark. Under the city tower of Panxian County, Chu Huiyin was wearing a ragged cloth, she was stroking the wall and walking in the dark, and in front of her, a group of neat and orderly horse bandits were patrolling with torches.
Seeing Chu Huiyin in front of him, the leading horse bandit asked, "Who is in front?" ”
Chu Huiyin responded: "I came to Pan County to join my relatives. ”
"Why are you still wandering around the city when you have defected to your relatives, don't you know that there is a curfew in the city at three o'clock?"
Chu Huiyin nodded, pretending to be weak, and explained weakly: "I know, I originally came to the city to join my relatives, and I finally found the residence of my relatives, but after inquiring, I found that they had moved away. I originally wanted to go back to my hometown, but the city gate was closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and now I have run out of entanglements, so there is nowhere to go. ”
"Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you be my wife?" A man with a wide body and a fat body walked over, and saw that he had a fat head and big ears, and his whole body was greasy, which made people feel disgusted at the first glance.
This man's name is Fang Lei, and he is the second leader of this gang of horse bandits. My favorite is beauty and gold and silver jewelry, and he is a layman. When he first entered Pan County, he took away many young and beautiful women in the county seat, and they are still raised in their own houses. Although this person is illiterate, speaks vulgarly, is a reckless man, but brave and good at fighting, infinite strength, and the most affectionate, most of the brothers in the horse bandits are very convinced of him, he and Ma Peng are brothers, but the ambition is great, although Ma Peng wants to find an opportunity to get rid of him, but he is afraid that there are too many brothers who obey him in the horse bandits, killing him will lead to instability in people's hearts, all, so he can only keep him with a headache.
Chu Huiyin was just about to speak, when a voice interjected.
"I took a fancy to this woman first, and I happened to lack a maid in the house, so I brought this woman back."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Ma Qin coming over.
Fang Lei knew that Ma Qin was the pearl of Ma Peng's palm in the palm of his hand, and it would not be cost-effective to clash with her for a woman.
Fang Lei changed his words and said: "Since the eldest lady wants it, then this woman will give it to you." ”
After finishing his words, he left angrily.
Ma Qin turned around and faced the woman, "Since you have nowhere to go, stay in my house and be a girl for me!" Don't worry, as long as you serve well, I won't treat you badly. ”
Chu Huiyin bent down and bowed, and thanked him vigorously: "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss!" ”
"Alright, you come with me!"
Ma Qin said, turned around and left directly, and Chu Huiyin also left with her.
Since coming to Miaojiang, Hongyi and Xichen have always quarreled due to disagreements, if it weren't for their master's order to let them assist each other and find them together, it is estimated that the two of them would have a big fight.
Due to many disagreements, they decided that the Tao was different, so the two parted ways and used their own way to find the Yin and Yang Scroll.
In the inn room, Xichen and Chun Yuyao were sitting on the chairs in the room eating. Every time she eats, Chun Yuyao sits aside and serves her vegetables, but Chun Yuyao himself eats very little. Sometimes, almost no food.
Xichen sandwiched the dishes in the bowl, eating slowly, and from time to time he would take the initiative to add some dishes to Chun Yuyao.
Xichen slowly spoke: "Ah Yao, have you figured out the terrain of the entire Miao Territory?" ”
Chun Yuyao put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out a map from his sleeve, and slowly unfolded it.
"Xichen, I have drawn the terrain of Miaojiang. Miaojiang's main location is in Xiangxi, while its rudder is in Qianzhong, Jingchu, and Yuzhou. Chun Yuyao said, raising his hand and dotting the place where the red dot was drawn on this map, "The place where we are now is Xiangxi." ”
As he spoke, he swiped his hand to the northeast, bypassing the three dots marked with red dots, and stopped at the top one. explained: "Xichen, where we are now, is only the outermost layer of Miao Jiang. And the place where I finger is the most prosperous territory in Miaojiang, Miaojiang Gu City. Thousands, pure-blooded Miao Jiang people live there, and the Gu King's palace is also there. If we want to go there, we have to pass through the three places I marked the red dots around. ”
"What are these three places?"
"These three places are Wanshan Cave, Poison Miasma Forest and Thousand Insect Valley. All three of these places are extremely dangerous places. Wanshan Cave, there are 100,000 mountains, after entering, there are many traps, there are many traps, and there are many Xuanmen magic circles, if you get lost in Wangu, you will be trapped alive and die in it, and you will not be able to get out for a lifetime. The poisonous miasma forest is full of all kinds of poisonous gases, after entering, if you are not careful, you will be poisoned and die, as for the Valley of Thousand Insects, there are poisonous Gu worms all over the body, if you accidentally get a little bit of it, you will be immediately hit by Gu, and you can't live or die. ”
Xichen nodded, "Okay, I know, Ah Yao, you go back!" ”
"Go back?" Chun Yuyao was puzzled
"This time I am afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, the prince is a daughter, in case there are three long and two short, I can't afford to be responsible for it, so the prince should go back!" Xi Chen explained lightly
"It doesn't matter! I won't go back, I'll help you no matter what you do. However, if you think I'm an eyesore in front of you, I can leave immediately now, but I won't leave Miao Jiang. Chun Yuyao's tone was always flat like a bowl of water, without waves. But the voice is always so warm as jade, which makes people listen to it and is extremely gentle.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
This sudden sentence stunned Chun Yuyao for a moment, but then reacted, "I'm afraid!" ”
Xichen sneered, "I'm afraid you're still going?" ”
Chun Yuyao sank his eyes, his eyes were a little lost, his tone finally changed slightly, and he said sadly: "Xichen, in fact, I am not afraid of death. It's just that I'm afraid, if I die, who will protect you for the rest of your life? ”
The reason why he was afraid of death was simply that he was afraid that he would have no one to take care of him? Chun Yuyao's words made Xichen's heart feel a little more indescribably moved.
Chun Yuyao continued: "Xichen, from the moment I fell in love with you, I gave myself to you, but you never really accepted me. But it doesn't matter, Xichen, since I have identified you, I will wait for you, if you don't accept me in this life, then I may really be destined to die alone. ”
Xichen was silent for a while, then lowered his head and asked silently, "Ah Yao, if one day you and I are friends and foes, and we are both on the opposite side of each other, will you still love me?" ”
Chun Yuyao nodded without hesitation, "Yes, it's just that I still say that, if there is really that day, I hope that my love for you will not change, and I just ask you to kill me with your own hands." ”
"Is it worth it?"
Chun Yuyao said in a firm tone: "It's worth it!" ”
Because I love you, it's worth it!
After Xichen heard this, her heart was a little inexplicably complicated for a while, I don't know whether she was moved or moved, she looked at the serious appearance of the person in front of her, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, but she still forcibly calmed down, eased her emotions, and said calmly: "Let's eat!" ”
Chun Yuyao glanced at Xichen, as if he saw the abnormality of forcibly suppressed in his eyes, and smiled even more, and responded: "Well, good! ”
In Panxian County, in the cloth village of Feng Da Niang, Yu Sheng and Chun Yu Hanwei were helping people cut cloth in the store. Usually, the shape of the customer is measured first, and then the pattern is drawn on the cloth, and finally the pattern is cut with scissors against the drawn pattern.
Yu Sheng and Chun Yu Hanwei are not very good at hands-on ability, a good fabric, the two of them cut one by one, and the final result is that the fabric is cut in a mess, and the drawn lines are cut to different lengths.
Mrs. Feng who was passing by saw the two of them cutting cloth, so she walked up, I wanted to check how the two of them cut, but as a result, I didn't know if I didn't see it, and I was startled when I saw it.
Aunt Feng stomped her feet angrily and said: "My good girl, this, how did this and this cut like this, oh my God, ancestors, this, my cloth~"
When Yu Sheng and Chun Yu Hanwei heard Aunt Feng's frenzy, they knew that they were in trouble again, and Yu Sheng hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Aunt Feng, we didn't mean to. ”
Hearing the thunderous voice of the Wind Lady, the female workers working in the cloth village all walked out. They stood in the doorway watching the play.
Chun Yu Hanwei immediately apologized and said: "Aunt Feng, I'm sorry, either or not, or I'm helping you cut a new horse, right?" ”
When Aunt Feng heard this, she was immediately frightened, and hurriedly refused: "Don't don't, don't be my cloth!" ”
"Aunt Feng, I'm sorry! If you lose your cloth, I will pay you later. Yu Sheng explained weakly
As soon as these words came out, those who watched the play laughed and mocked: "You see, she has made herself the county lord again." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Aunt Feng pleaded with a look of something else: "Two aunts, my temple is small and can't accommodate two Bodhisattvas, why don't you two go elsewhere to survive?" ”
Chun Yu Hanwei immediately begged: "Aunt Feng, I beg you, don't drive me and my sister away, now, we really have nowhere to go." Aunt Feng, I know that my sister and I have lost your cloth and caused you a lot of trouble, but don't worry, as long as the Panxian horse bandits are exterminated by the people sent by the imperial court, my sister and I will leave for Luoyang, and we will definitely repay you when the time comes. ”
Aunt Feng is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, seeing Chun Yu Hanwei begging herself so sincerely, her heart softened, she sighed, "Now that the horse bandits are raging in Pan County, if I really throw you on the street, you will also be captured by the horse bandits, that's it, you stay here first, but just say it, once the horse bandits are exterminated, you will immediately set off and leave me." ”
Yu Sheng and Chun Yu Hanwei listened and thanked each other: "Thank you Aunt Feng, thank you Aunt Feng!" ”
Aunt Feng glanced at everyone, "Okay, okay, let's disperse, let's all go to work!" ”
After Mrs. Feng finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
In the inn, Hua Xuan and Hua Che sat on chairs, eating and drinking food and chatting at the same time.
I saw Hua Xuan take a sip of wine and said, "When I was looking for Han Wei on the street yesterday, I met the eldest lady in the gang of horse bandits. ”
Hua Che replied calmly while eating: "Well, then what? ”
"It's a brutal woman, and as soon as she comes up, she wants me to go back with her to be the husband of the village."
Hua Che nodded, still serious and laughed: "The eldest brother is handsome, and it is reasonable to recruit girls to like him." ”
"So, I promised her, three days later, I will go back with her to be the husband of the village, and by the way, I will find out the situation for you. But he also took this opportunity to sneak in to find out if Han Wei was inside. ”
Hua Che drank a glass of wine and laughed: "Is the situation fake for the eldest brother, but it's true to look for the princess?" ”
Hua Xuan nodded, "It's really impossible to escape your eyes!" After Hua Xuan drank a glass of wine, he said: "Ah Che, although I want to use the power of those horse bandits to find Han Wei, but I also hope that if it is convenient for you, can you also try to help me find out Han Wei's whereabouts when completing the task given to you by your friend?" ”
Hua Che Zhengse said: "No problem, big brother, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to help you find it." ”
"Thank you!"
Hua Che smiled: "Big brother, after the destruction of the Yuxuan Kingdom, we have become each other's closest people, so between you and me, in the future, there is no need to say thank you." ”
After Hua Che finished speaking, the two raised their glasses and drank again.
