After worshipping the temple, I walked again and saw a cluster of markets. When Xue Baochai stopped to look, he saw a string of lanterns hanging under the door of the humble workshop.

A sign was erected next to it, and the sign read the word 'official market'.

Baochai went straight inside, avoiding the crowd and not asking the rouge for the dagger.

The official craftsman said, "Where did my sister come from?" How dare you sell this thing with you? ”

Xue Baochai said: "The officialdom of the West Huanyi is enough, only holding a knife to cut fruit objects, and not asking you to give me a bow and crossbow, what is it worth?" One day the snow stopped, and there was still a house to be repaired here, and not to be a guest? ”

The official craftsman looked at Xue Baochai's card and smiled: "That's it, it's messy, so I won't invite my sister in, I'll go get a set, and you can choose it." ”

The official craftsman entered, and after a while, he came out, carrying a sheepskin sleeve and spreading it out, revealing seven or eight short blades inserted in it, all with scabbards, and taught Baochai to pick them.

Xue Baochai handed over the silver, took a handle in his hand indiscriminately, and took it out of the sheath, only to feel the cold light, which dazzled people's eyes, and felt that this thing was appropriate. It doesn't matter whether it is clean or not, he puts it in his arms, shouts 'disturb', and goes out of the workshop and comes back with the wind.

Look at the snow that is getting tighter and tighter into the night.

Besides, Xue Baochai stepped on the snow, faced the north wind, and flew to the door of the Huanyi Field, and entered a room, with a short blade on his pillow, and rested temporarily.

In the middle of the night, the fire in Baochai's house was extinguished, and the snowflakes fell down the holes in the roof, and a snow bag was piled up, and then a cold wind blew, which rattled the wooden bamboo branches, and woke Baochai from the dream.

As soon as I got up tremblingly, I raised my eyes and saw that a corner of the room was covered with snow, crumbling down, crumbling down wood and stones, and fully revealing the boudoir of Baochai.

At this moment, Xue Baochai had no shame at all, his lips were cold and blue, and he thought, "How is it good?" ”

With one hand, he took the short blade into his arms and put on the hat again, and when Xue Baochai touched the bed again, he held the half-woven quilt in his arms.

Xue Baochai remembered that most of the female workers here were three or five people living in a room, and the others had to be tight on themselves first, and she was not easy to demand. There is also the steward of the Huanyi Field, and Xue Baochai doesn't want to bother and beg anymore.

When she walked out with the futon in her arms, she saw that the snow reflected the white of the sky, and thought: "There is an old temple on the road only half a mile outside where you can settle down. ”

Tightening the short blade in his arms, Xue Baochai cleaned up, walked out of the Huanyi field, and looked at the temple.

In a blink of an eye, I entered the temple gate, and then closed the door, there was a big stone next to it, and the general came over and leaned against the door.

Xue Baochai was relieved at this time, and when he went inside to see it again, there was no one in the temple as expected, neither neighbors nor temple blessings. There is only a statue of the god of Jinjiashan on the hall, a judge on both sides, a little ghost, all of them look strange, different from ordinary gods.

Xue Baochai put the hat and short blade on the pitch-black ash offering table, then teased all the snow on his body, untied the outer layer of clothing, and hung it on the offering table to dry.

And the futon was spread out and stuffed under the offering table, and Bao Chai changed his clothes and went in, and although he was cold and hungry, he could only hope to fall asleep.

I was shivering, and I could only hear the crackling sound outside.

Xue Baochai jumped up, went to the crack of the door to look, and saw that the Huanyi field was on fire, scraping and burning, and the momentum rose to the sky in an instant, and the fire shone on the side of the mountain temple.

At that time, Xue Baochai took a hat and a short blade, and was about to open the door to call someone to put out the fire, only to hear someone outside talking, and when Xue Baochai listened to the door, it was the sound of three people's feet.

Those people went straight to the temple and pushed the door with their hands, but they were held against the corpse in advance and could not be pushed away any longer.

The three men stood under the eaves of the temple and watched the fire.

One of them said, "Is this a good plan?" ”

One responded: "I lost the intentions of the two housekeepers, seeing that the bitch of the Xue family ate us to deal with, return to Jiangning, and give the president of the Tiren Academy, I will ensure that you two will enjoy happiness in the future!" ”

One said: "Who is impatient for the future?" If you can't get to the queen mother, you will be asked to take the credit, and only after you have the account in front of you first, it will be considered complete. ”

Another said, "That's right, I work a lot." I ordered more than a dozen places in a row and burned down the Huanyi field, even if the surnamed Xue escaped with her life, when I testified against a female worker, she would have to be a capital crime. ”

One said: "Look again, the two stewards and girls are not in a hurry, where is there anything wrong with the promise, you see that this pearl is wrapped here, and then you can pick up her two bones, and you will replace this pearl." ”

When Xue Baochai listened to the three people, one was the general manager of the Huanyi Bureau, the other was the manager of the Huanyi Field, and the other was the person Zhou Pozi said.

For a while, Xue Baochai couldn't help but think with tears in her eyes: "God pity Xue Baochai!" If I hadn't collapsed the hut in the middle of the night, I would have been burned to death by these guys! ”

Gently moving the stone blocking the door away, Xue Baochai pulled out a short blade with his right hand, dragged open the temple door with his left hand, and hissed: "Familiarity is unbearable!" ”

When the three of them were in a hurry to leave, they were stunned, and they couldn't walk, Xue Baochai raised his blade and stabbed the chief manager of the Huanyi Bureau first.

The Zhen family was stunned, screaming 'spare life', and couldn't walk.

The manager of the Huanyi field walked less than ten steps, and was caught up by Xue Baochai, stabbed in the back of the heart, and stabbed down again, only the short blade was stuck, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.

"Am I weaker than you? Dare to be so contemptuous of me! ”

Xue Baochai abandoned the short blade and turned back, the Zhen family only walked three or four steps, and Xue Baochai caught up and threw her to the ground.

"Your Zhen family also kills people for others, I have never violated the laws of the world!"

Xue Baochai, who was dismantled in his cloak, took out the hairpin he had prepared in his arms with one hand again.

Zhen's grandmother said: "Don't do small things, it is said that the queen sent it, but the villain doesn't understand, and he doesn't dare not come!" ”

Xue Baochai scolded: "I don't know my life, you came to harm me today, why don't you do your business?" Presumptuous death! ”

Pulling the collar of Zhen's grandmother, the hairpin in Xue Baochai's hand was pierced, and the blood on her neck burst out, splashing her all over.

When I looked back, the steward of the Huanyi Field didn't see that he was dead, and he was crawling up with the short blade on his back to leave.

Xue Baochai held it down and shouted: "You, when you eat my wine and food, you originally wanted to kill me, and you are so vicious!" Die! ”

The hairpin pierced down again, and when he raised his hand, there was no movement from the manager of the teaching.

After doing all this, Xue Baochai felt hot all over, and the fire in the distance shone like a white sun, and when he looked up, the temple read: "Qitian Temple!" ”

Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing, moved the three corpses into the temple, and placed them in front of the offering table for the great sage. I changed into my soaked clothes, picked up something and left.

Just took a step in the temple, and the foreign object under his feet reminded Xue Baochai to pick it up, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a bag of pearls the size of grapes, snow-white and clean.

Xue Baochai weighed the pearl bag in his hand, spilled it all again, took a hat, staggered out with something in his arms, and stepped on the snow step by step.

"It's snowing in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold like iron, hahaha-"

Crying all the way and walking all the way, not knowing the direction in the heavy snow, and avoiding the people who went to fight the fire in the nearby village, Xue Baochai's figure trembled into the jungle.

Three watch days, the body is cold, when it is not cold, when you look in the snow, you are far away from the field, in the depths of the dense forest in front, the trees are mixed, and several grass huts in the distance are pressed by the snow, and the fire shines out from the broken wall.

Xue Baochai went straight into the thatched hut, pushed open the door, and saw firewood burning in the middle, led by a young civil official wearing a low-level official complement, Xue Baochai walked in front of him and shouted: "Your Excellency is polite, the maid is the palace maid of the Huanyi Field, because of the fire tonight, there is nowhere to go, so take this place to live." ”

The young civil servant said, "The girl lives in peace, and I will give you half a room, and I will never disturb you." ”

When Xue Baochai heard this, he put down the futon and felt a little relieved. At this time, there was a person beside the young civil official pointing at her, and Xue Baochai saw that even if she changed her clothes, there were still blood stains on her body, and her hair was scattered, which was indeed suspicious.

"I saw a fire over there, and you ......"

Xue Baochai couldn't hold it back, took out the short blade, and lifted the fire with one hand: "Tell me!" Say it does what it does! ”

The scattered firewood burned the young civil official, and everyone around him jumped up and scolded: "You crazy woman is so unreasonable. ”

Xue Baochai held a short blade in front of him, and then picked up a handful of scattered firewood and threw it over.

Everyone couldn't move, and the young civil official saw that Xue Baochai had a blade, so he took the lead and went out.

The rest of the people were chased by Xue Baochai for a while and left.

Xue Baochai threw the short blade at this time: "It's all gone, grandma is roasting the fire!" ”

"It's all gone, no one knows! Grandma sat down in the position of the queen mother one day and taught the slut surnamed Shui to die! ”

The fire was rekindled, Xue Baochai dried his clothes, tied his hair with thatch, but he didn't dare to rest here when sleepiness came, wiped his tears again, hugged the futon again, and walked out of the house.

Leaving the thatched hut, less than half a mile away, a horse chased after me.

Xue Baochai threw away the futon, seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he raised the short blade in his hand, his hair was messy from the wind and snow, and he gritted his teeth and stared at the comer.

The sound of the horse was near, and the first few people dismounted, and their figures loomed in the wind and snow.

"Brother Rong, have you looked carefully?"

"Uncle Hui Lian, I haven't seen Miss Xue, but I heard that she happened to be over there in the Huanyi Field, and I happened to meet someone of such an age, embarrassed but so beautiful that I couldn't hide it, so I couldn't help but guess."

The man approached.

It was Jia Lian.
