Chapter 368: Who's the Praying Mantis and Who Is the Sparrow (8)

The snowflakes in the sky, like catkins, slowly fall on the branches, merge in the hazy line of sight, and become part of the white world.

Xiao Qi caught the snow that fell in his hand, and then watched it turn into a cloud of water stains.

"Sir, it looks like we can't go today."

Xiao Qi glanced at Yang Guangkun, "Look at you like this, you didn't come to report my worries." ”

There are several people on this section of the road, and after walking for more than half a month, Yang Guangkun has long been a little tired, and it is really difficult for a scholar to walk such a long way.

But seeing that Xiao Qi, who was weaker than himself, was persevering, of course Yang Guangkun didn't dare to say that he was very tired, so he could only insist on walking.

Xiao Qi rubbed the palms of his hands, and the water stains disappeared directly.

Although Yang Guangkun thought so, he was still a little embarrassed when Xiao Qi poked his careful thoughts, put his hands on his chest, rubbed back and forth, and didn't know how to face the gentleman in front of him.

"Xiao Jiu'er is about to wake up, you go and play with Xiao Jiu'er!"

Xiao Jiu'er is the little girl rescued by Xiao Qi, and as for the woman, that is, Xiao Jiu'er's mother, her name is Li Wangjun.

From this name, it can't be guessed that this Li Wangjun's family background should be good, Li Wangjun is actually a lady in the northwest border, and Xiao Jiu'er's father also joined the Li family.

However, there was a war, and her father and husband went to the south to do business before the war, and this time there was no man in the family, and the subordinates ransacked the entire Li family in order to survive the disaster.

Li Wangjun and Xiao Jiu'er took refuge in Qianyanfu Prefecture in the escort of several loyal domestic servants, which was the location of Li Wangjun's mother's maiden home, but on the way, they happened to encounter the army of Yue again.

So in this way, the army of Yue and the refugees of Chengguo scattered the whole team, and the mother and daughter could only rely on each other for their lives, and went to Daxing Mansion under the desperate protection of the old housekeeper.

The old housekeeper also died of illness on the road, and finally the mother and daughter went back and forth in Daxing Mansion, and the silver taels they brought were slowly spent, and finally arrived in the city and were bullied by the Liu family.

Xiao Jiu'er walked out of the inn and saw Yang Guangkun and Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiu'er immediately walked over and shouted at Xiao Qi and Yang Guangkun Brother and sister.

Originally, under the instruction of Li Wangjun, he wanted Xiao Jiu'er to call Xiao Qi and Yang Guangkun as gentlemen, after all, the two of them preached to Xiao Jiu'er to solve their doubts.

But after getting along for a long time, Li Wangjun felt a very strange thing, that is, this scholar, who looked older, actually called a little girl Mr.

Slowly, Li Wangjun was also impressed by Xiao Qi's personality charm and profound knowledge, but during this period, Yang Guangkun also handed over some things to Xiao Jiu'er.

In order to avoid embarrassment for the two, Li Wangjun simply asked Xiao Jiu'er to call the two brothers and sisters.

It doesn't matter who takes advantage of him, Xiao Qi doesn't care anyway, Yang Guangkun seems to have wanted to argue before, but there is no follow-up after that.

As long as Xiao Jiu'er was present, the few of them were almost all on their own.

"Xiao Jiu'er, are you here?"

Xiao Jiu'er's eyes were full of anticipation, looked at Yang Guangkun, and replied sweetly to Xiao Qi: "Sister Xiaoqi, just now Grandpa Nailed Palace said that we won't leave today, so I want to find Brother Guangkun to play with." ”

Xiao Qi waved his hand and asked the two of them to hurry away.

It's also strange that Xiao Jiu'er doesn't look for Xiao Qi, who is not close to her age, but not a few years older, to play with, but wants to find Yang Guangkun, who is much older than her.

A young man with a little girl began to build a snowman in the yard, and it didn't take long for both of them to be covered with a thin layer of blood.

Xiao Qi looked at Yang Guangkun, who was playing with Xiao Jiu'er, and suddenly a strange feeling rose from his heart.

That is the motherhood that emanates from Yang Guangkun all the time, if there is a buff bonus display table at this moment, then you can see a maternal aura from Yang Guangkun's body.

The Nail Palace is not so simple as letting Yang Guangkun take Xiao Jiu'er out to play, at this moment, the Nail Palace pinched his hands and feet and walked to Xiao Qi's side.

"Xiao Qi, do you have something to do at this time?"

Xiao Qi shook his head, but immediately thought of the purpose of coming to the Nail Palace, "I don't have time to deal with you now, I see that Yang Guangkun and Xiao Jiu'er are having fun over there, since you are still childlike old bald donkey, you might as well join their battle?" ”

I didn't expect this nail palace, but he actually showed a weak expression and said, "You don't even want to call me a nail palace master." ”

"Climb."

Nailing Gong came to find Xiao Qi, just for a very simple thing, he moved his heart to accept apprentices, that is, to take Xiao Jiu'er under the door.

"You old monk do you have to take a little girl and be your apprentice?"

"The old man is old, if he doesn't entrust his mantle to others early, I'm afraid he will regret it after a hundred years."

"So, why did you come to me to discuss this? You should go to my Aunt Li to discuss! ”

"I will naturally go to Master Li's side, just come over and discuss with you, after all, you are the leader of this trip."

Xiao Qi frowned and said, "What does Master Nail Palace mean to separate from us?" ”

"No, no, no, Xiao Qi misunderstood, since the poor monk has agreed, he wants to send you to Huaihuang Mansion safely, of course he has to fulfill this promise."

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't speak, the nail palace said by himself: "It's just that after getting there, Lao Qu will say goodbye and can't be accompanied." ”

Of course, Xiao Qi wants the beauty of adults, and directly let Nail Palace and Xiao Jiu'er stay here, but the road is dangerous, and there is still a long distance from Huaihuang Mansion, and Xiao Qi doesn't know what else will happen on the road.

can only say: "Master, the escort has been hard all the way, I..."

Dinggong waved his hand and said: "Xiao Qi, you don't have to blame yourself, send the Buddha to the west, and after returning to the emperor, I just want you to do me a favor and let the one from Huaihuang Mansion send a letter to the temple in the capital for me." ”

"Okay."

Seeing that the Nail Palace had not left yet, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Qi asked again: "Master, but what else is going on?" ”

"You really don't learn the Dharma from the old man? The old man thinks that you have unique wisdom roots, and you are a good seedling for practicing Buddhism. ”

Xiao Qi smiled, this time there was no evil words, "I don't think Buddhism can save the world." ”

Nailgong glanced at Xiao Qi in surprise, left with a big laugh, and didn't go far, rejoined the group of children who were older and younger, and accompanied them to build a snowman.

Today's snow is extraordinarily heavy, and the snow outside has already overflowed people's calves, and the snowmen they have built up by one old and two young have become two snowdrifts at this time because of the wind and snow.

A few people stood by the fire, roasting the fire and drinking hot tea, each with something to do.

Xiao Qi was reading a book bought from this town, and Li Wangjun used the silk thread that Xiao Qi bought for her to knit a sweater for Xiao Jiu'er.

Mo Yan was meditating in the room, but he didn't come out, and the nail palace was talking about Buddhism to the people passing by the inn.

Of course, Yang Guangkun is also doing the right thing, that is, being a full-time dad playing with Xiao Jiu'er, his job can be regarded as the most tiring one among these people.

After all, Xiao Jiu'er is at the age of being lively and active, and if no one plays with him, then no one else will be able to do the work in their hands.

For several other people, Yang Guangkun's existence is a great achievement, Yang Guangkun has no idea his status in this group, and he is very happy to play with Xiao Jiu'er.

Looking at this warm scene, many people have regarded Yang Guangkun as Xiao Jiu'er's father, although this father is too young, but marriage in this era is already a norm.

Because of the fact that a few of them behaved too naturally, although people felt a little strange about their small group, they did not associate three of them with the wanted warrant of the imperial court.

A loving family of three plus their two elders, and a very cute boy, of course, this boy is talking about Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi is considered by them to be a boy and a girl, but they don't see Xiao Qi as a girl, there are many winter clothes and a wrap on her body, so it is really impossible to guess the gender of the other party.

Even the innkeeper of the inn where they lived, seeing that this Xiao Qi had a delicate face and an extraordinary demeanor, he even had the idea of recruiting Xiao Qi as his son-in-law.

After all, now Xiao Qi, although the appearance of their group is personable and their temperament is also extraordinary, but they can fall here, which means that they are in the middle of the road because of the war.

The shopkeeper looked at his home, even if the current foundation is a little small, it is not difficult to guess from Xiao Qi's words that they have no destination to go to now.

The shopkeeper's mood is also lively, if Xiao Qi and them are kept, he will have a trust in the future.

Of course, the shopkeeper is also very self-aware, although the financial resources are average, but her daughter is with her mother, especially beautiful.

And the father and daughter also have an excellent reputation in this town, and he still has land in his hands, and all kinds of general things are piled up, so that the shopkeeper is ordinary but very confident.

It's just this one thing, he hasn't told Xiao Qi yet, if he wants to leave Xiao Qi behind, he still has to start with two elders in their team,

Among them, the Taoist priest, the shopkeeper didn't think about it directly, and now there is only one monk left, this monk has a Buddha appearance, and these days because of him, there are still many Buddhist believers who have come.

Perhaps, this old monk is a breakthrough, as for the young man in the team, he has not directly entered the eyes of the shopkeeper, a man who can get along with a little girl, although he is loving, but he is not stable at all.

As for Li Wangjun, looking at her attitude towards Xiao Qi, you can know that Li Wangjun is just a maid and a woman.

This is the shopkeeper's idea of looking at Xiao Qi and his party, and he can see Xiao Qi at a glance, he must be the dragon and phoenix among people.
