The morning light shrouded the mountains and forests, the dew receded, and a long call came from the bottom of the mountain.

"Miss—it's time to eat—"

Qixing, who sat in front of the tombs of the old man and the woman, stood up and bowed to the two tombs.

"I'm leaving." She said, picking up the two hares and bamboo canes that had been thrown aside and walking slowly down the mountain.

The newly built shed was burned down, and there was only the apricot blossom cottage by the lake, and the traces of the fire made the place a little dilapidated, as if they had just returned.

But the pheasant did not look as uneasy as before, and was neatly carrying the chicken and duck cages into the car.

"Miss, let's eat." She said, and asked, "Have you removed all the traps on the mountain?" ”

Seven Stars nodded, there was never a trap, so there was nothing that could not be withdrawn.

The pheasant took the hare and shook it: "Hey, I can only blame you for your bad luck, today is our last day of hunting." "Then put the hare in the cart.

Qixing sat down at the table, the master and servant finished a simple meal, put away the utensils in the room and covered them, and the villagers who saw them off also came.

"Miss Ah Qi." Several women carried baskets full of vegetables and fruits, "Don't be disgusted, this is all grown by our own family, you can take it to the city to eat." ”

Seven Stars and Pheasant reached out and took it.

"How can you dislike it." Qixing said, Shi Li thanked him.

A few children asked reluctantly, "Will Sister Seven Stars come back?" ”

Qixing said: "Of course I will, I am only going to live in the city temporarily, the mastermind behind the murderer has not been caught yet, and it is not safe for me to live here." ”

The children were immediately overjoyed and continued to ask, "Will Ah Niu come back?" ”

Ah Niu is their nickname for the wooden cow, and it is a truly unforgettable toy for the village children.

Qixing smiled: "I'll make another one for you." ”

The children cheered.

"Go, go, play." Aunt Wang shouted, "Miss Ah Qi is going to work, don't delay her." ”

The children laughed and ran away.

Qixing smiled at Aunt Wang: "It's okay, I'll do it when I'm free." ”

Aunt Wang sighed: "You, like your grandfather, are kind-hearted people and are very kind to children. ”

"Miss Ah Qi, you can rest assured to go into the city." Other villagers said, "We will take care of your grandfather's and mother's graves, and we will take care of the houses here, and we will never let them burn them again." ”

Qixing thanked him and said, "My grandfather can have you as a neighbor, and he will not be lonely before and after death." ”

Under the send-off of the villagers, Qixing and Pheasant led the donkey and pulled a cart full of carts to the city.

The case was closed without revealing the enmity with the Lu family, but Qixing accepted the kindness of Linglong Fang to provide a residence and moved to the city.

"It's a little smaller." Dong Niangzi said, leading Qixing and the pheasant into the door.

"But convenient." The proprietress of the grocery store said enthusiastically, "It's not far from the embroidery workshop, so you can walk back even if you stay up late at night." ”

Dong Niangzi glared at her: "Where do you want Miss Qixing to stay up late, she used to live outside the city and waste time walking back and forth, but now she lives in the city, and the time during the day is enough, where do you need to stay up late." ”

After saying that, he smiled and looked at the hand holding Qixing.

"Let's not stay up late, the embroidery girl's eyes can't be boiled."

She is not the kind of short-sighted person, raising this embroidery girl to make a lot of money.

The grocery store proprietress smiled, and hurriedly pointed around: "The most important thing is safety, the neighbors around have lived for many years, I recognize them, and they are all honest and responsible." ”

"Okay, don't boast, we rented your house, and we won't regret it." Dong Niangzi said angrily.

The grocery store proprietress smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, this one is not suitable, I'll find another one." ”

Dong Niangzi sighed: "I know that you have a lot of houses." ”

Qixing smiled and thanked: "This is very suitable." ”

The grocery store proprietress smiled even more: "It's just right, it's good, it's good." ”

Dong Niangzi pushed her with a smile: "Don't worry, go in and help clean up." ”

The luggage of the master and servant is simple, and when the thin donkey is led into the backyard shed, and the chickens and ducks are placed in the cage, they are packed.

"Okay, I'll live here in peace from now on." Dong Niangzi stroked her palm and said, "Now that the government is clear, how can those murderers and arsons be restrained." ”

It's okay to kill people, but the murderer who set the fire, the pheasant lowered his head a little uncomfortably.

Qixing nodded: "Yes, at the time of the government, it must be safe." ”

......

......

The night inside the city is much more lively than the night under the mountains outside the city.

Although there is no bustle during the day, the street shops are lit up, and the husbands, patrols, and late returnees will come to eat, drink and rest, and there is a different kind of liveliness.

The old man who set up the stall fried the quail meat and took out a plate of mille-feuille cake from the steamer, which was hot and delicious.

"Sister, take it, be careful of the burn." The old man of the shop said, handing over the wrapped food.

The pheasant took it and pointed to the pickles on the board: "Give me some of this too." ”

This is all a small food that does not cost money, the old man of the store smiled and said hello, wrapped a plate for her, and asked, "Are you the new tenant of Wu's shopkeeper's house?" I think it's just you two girls. ”

The old man who has been setting up a stall all year round seems to know everyone on this street, and he also pays attention to the new faces.

Pheasant nodded: "We just moved here." ”

The old man of the shop smiled and said: "It's good here, you two girls don't have to be afraid, the old man, I have been at night, helping you to be vigilant, those murderers and arsons dare not approach." ”

The pheasant smiled and thanked him, and took out another piece of money and put it on the stove: "Thank you, Abel." ”

The old man of the store was busy returning the money: "How can I ask for money?" ”

The pheasant had already run away with his things, and threw down a sentence: "It's the money for pickles, Miss said, if you take more, you will have to give money." ”

The old man of the shopkeeper laughed twice, and watched the girl's figure enter the alley, and the door panel sounded softly, and then it was silent.

There are not only two people in the family, Pheasant and Seven Stars.

In the hall, Wei Dong's family and Lu shopkeepers are all there.

The grocery store proprietor's house was naturally chosen by them.

Qixing lives here, firstly, to make it look like he is safe to avoid being endangered, and secondly, to facilitate meeting with Wei Dongjia.

This house has a secret door for easy access.

When the pheasant came in, Wei Dongjia was asking Qixing: "Just let the Lu family go?" ”

When talking about going to the embroidery workshop to be an embroidery girl, Qixing also asked Wei Dongjia to inquire about the news of the talents in the capital, especially Lu Yizhi from Yucheng.

made this request, Qixing also talked about the entanglement with the Lu family, after the death of his grandfather, he took care of the orphan and promised a marriage contract, but now he regrets driving out of the house.

Wei Dongjia was very angry when he heard this, and he also thought of the Ning family before, at that time he also secretly ridiculed this girl and the Ning family because of a quarrel and a revenge for personal gain, it turned out that it was not only a quarrel, the root cause was the Lu family.

The rule of the family is that you can't seek revenge for personal gain, but the Lu family's behavior like this is no longer a personal grudge, and treachery should be punished, not to mention murder.

The Ning family has been punished for doing evil, and of course the Lu family can't let it go.

Shopkeeper Lu asked: "Does Miss Seven Star think that the Lu family is more complicated than the Ning family, and it is not easy to handle?" ”

The Lu family is from Yucheng, and the next house is like a mountain, and furthermore, the Lu family is a businessman, and the relationship with the local government is very harmonious, and for the government, the Lu family has no threat, only good.

The most important thing is that the third son of the Lu family is outstanding in learning and has a bright future.

The Ning family's business is to borrow strength, but the Lu family's strength is not easy to borrow, and it is not easy to fight.

In the final analysis, it is because the family is not what it used to be, the family is separated, and it is not easy to do things, so the Wei Dong family can't stand this aggrieved words, and snorts and says: "You can't do it by raiding the family and destroying the clan, it's always okay to set a fire to the Lu family." ”

Qixing smiled and said, "Don't talk about setting a fire and letting Master Lu die quietly, it's not impossible." ”

The pheasant stepped forward at this time and set up the food he had bought.

"Miss, you speak, call me for something." She whispered.

Qixing pointed to the table: "You take some meat and eat it." ”

The pheasant responded by picking up the quail meat and wrapping it in oiled paper and withdrew, and when he closed the door, he saw three people sitting opposite each other in the house-

Murder and arson.

She swallowed softly, closed the door, and sat down in the courtyard, eating as she watched.
