Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, summer has gone to autumn. When the wild geese flew south, Fang Yizhi packed his bags and prepared to return to Luoyang Zhixing Institute in Kyoto. Because of Fang Yizhi's joint recommendation with the old master, He An and Fang Dazhi were qualified to enter the Zhixing Academy test, and only after passing the test can they become official students of the Zhixing Academy.

He An was carrying a small package, which contained a few simple pieces of clothing, as well as a little silver left by his uncle He Kui. As soon as he stepped into the threshold of Fan Dazhi's house, he saw Dazhi sitting on a stool and crying.

His father, Fan Youfu, stuffed him with roast chicken, mutton, dried fish and other food, and said with red circles in his eyes: "When you grow up, you can go to Luoyang, Kyoto to study, how many people can't look forward to it." Dad is actually reluctant to let you go, but Dad knows that he can't pull your hind legs. When you arrive, let someone bring a letter back, Dad brought you money, and you can buy whatever you want to eat. You...... I haven't been out since I was a child, and my father carried you on his back and took your mother with him, and he traveled thousands of miles, didn't he also come over. ”

Fan Youfu was chattering, and when he saw He An entering the door, he smiled with a smile on his face: "Xiao An is here, you see that Dazhi, this kid is still crying, alas!" This kid is honest, he has been timid and doesn't like to talk since he was a child, and you have to take care of him more when you get to the capital. He, if I had half of you, I wouldn't have to worry about it. ”

He An smiled secretly in his heart, this guy is still honest and doesn't like to talk? I don't know how happy we were when we were together, but we were full of promises.

Fan Dazhi stopped crying and went out with He An with a bulging package. The two went to the tailor's shop Miao Feifei's house again, Miao Feifei and his mother Miao Liu took tea and snacks for the two, Miao Feifei took out a new set of straight-out round-necked kaftan from the cabinet and stuffed it in He An's package, and suddenly remembered that the two friends who went to private school together every day, and went home to play together after school were about to travel far away.

He An and Fan Dazhi were also gloomy in their hearts, Fan Dazhi saw Miao Feifei's sadness crying, and couldn't help but hurry, and he didn't know how to comfort him. just kept promising that when I came back in the future, I would buy her a lot of delicious and fun things in the capital.

He An saw Miao Feifei crying and said, "Feifei, you made my gown." I see that the stitches are fine, and your female popularity has improved again. ”

Miao Feifei still buried her face in the palm of her hand, and sobbed: "My mother made it for you, my mother said that you have to have a good dress when you go to the capital, and there is a sleeve that I sewed, and the sewing is a little narrower, you must not be angry."

He An smiled: "It's too late for me to thank you, how can I be angry, but ah, I suddenly remembered a poem!"

Miao Feifei raised a face with pear blossoms and rain, and said in surprise: "What kind of poem?"

He An said slowly: "Mother's hand is on the line, and the wanderer is on the shirt." Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late! Well, this poem is very appropriate. ”

This song "The Wanderer's Yin" was taught by the teacher in the school, and Miao Feifei thought for a while: "In this way, wouldn't I become your mother." After speaking, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, Fan Dazhi began to coax, and the three of them suddenly laughed......

Miao Feifei's studies in the private school have ended, and she helps her mother do some cutting work every day at home. The three of them are teenagers, and sorrow comes and goes quickly, Miao Feifei smiled like a flower and sent He An and Fang Dazhi to the entrance of the village with her mother. Watching Fang Yizhi and the two of them go farther and farther away in the twilight, he couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart......

Fang Yizhi had already hired a mule cart to take He An and Fan Dazhi, the road was rugged and bumpy, accompanied by the creaking sound of the mule cart, Fang Yizhi described the prosperous scene of the capital to them. Talking about the historical origin of Zhixing Academy, the allusion anecdotes of Dean Li Xingzhi, and also warned them that Luoyang, the imperial capital of the capital, is full of flowers and soft red eyes, although you are excellent, but this world is so big, there are countless young people with outstanding talents and brilliant talents. Don't be arrogant, concentrate on learning, and don't be lost in the bustling world......

He said unhurriedly, and the two teenagers listened attentively, and before they knew it, they walked to the town inn, and it was already dark......

In Shuimotou Village, Miao Liu's family in the tailor shop is sewing clothes under the lamp. Miao Feifei's mother is a little old, with a cloth dress and a hairpin skirt and a good appearance, except for a pair of palms that are slightly rough after long-term labor, she looks like a woman in her early thirties.

She has a gentle temperament, she usually doesn't talk much, Miao Feifei's father died early, and it is not easy for her to rely on her embroidery and cutting skills to pull Miao Feifei alone for so many years. She glanced at her sleeping daughter on the couch, sharpened the needle on her head, and skillfully sewed it up, and unexpectedly, she remembered that day again......

That day, she was washing laundry by the river, and saw the water splashing by the river not far away. A man was struggling with his breath, holding a baby in his arms, the child was only a few months old, and his mouth was purple from the cold......

Later, she tried her best to save the man home, the man had a high fever and a lot of blood on his legs, she went to Langzhong in the town to grab medicine, and exchanged corn for Hu Erye's goat milk to feed the child. Maybe it was because his life should not have been extinguished, but the child came back to life, and the man was lying on the kang, and his confused mouth was still talking nonsense from time to time: "Don't kill her...... Don't kill her......" She was a little scared when she listened......

Later, the man's fever subsided, and he was still unconscious lying on the kang. His eyes were closed, his nose was straight, the corners of his mouth were raised, there was a scabbed knife wound on his face, and his strong chest was undulating...... This man is also very good-looking......

"Oops......", Miao Liu snorted softly, the bright needle under the lamp somehow pierced her hand, and a bead of blood appeared on the left index finger in her stomach, she frowned and sucked her finger in her mouth......

Later, the man woke up, he was very grateful to himself, he said that his name was He Kui, and the little baby was his nephew named He An, and he met a robber in the mountains......

And then ...... Seem...... There is no later. The man lived in the village, lame on one leg, alone with the child, raising horses, nailing horses, and doing chores. Occasionally, I would come to help me fix a leaky house...... I often send them some food, and every year I make Feifei's clothes, and I also make two pieces for the child named He An. But...... The man, like himself, a man of few words, became more and more strange......

Now, the ruthless man is gone, so he put down a few taels of silver, entrusts himself to take care of He An, and leaves without a sound. He's lame, but where can he go? He An and Dazhi's children are also gone, two good children, like Feifei, they all grew up by themselves. Boys must have a future, Feifei doesn't go to private school, girls will marry in the future......

Miao Liu was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a slight rustling sound in the next room, and his heart said that there seemed to be rats again recently, and he had to buy some rat medicine back tomorrow when he went to the town.

Suddenly, the lights flickered and the wind sounded. Miao Liu turned his head and saw a man in black, and at some point, he broke in silently. Miao Liu was just about to exclaim, the man in black raised his hand, and Miao Liu's eyes suddenly darkened......

I don't know how long it took, Miao Liu opened her eyes in a daze, the surroundings were empty and dim, as if she was in a cave, and the gravel under her body and the grass stalks under her cheeks made her very uncomfortable. She twisted her body a little, only to find that her hands were tied by ropes, and her daughter Miao Feifei was lying next to her, curled up with her eyes closed.

Miao Liu struggled to sit up in horror, only to find that a torch was inserted into the stone wall not far away, and the entrance of the cave was guarded by two men in black with knives.

"Who are you? Let us out! Miao Liu shouted, and the two men in black ignored her at all. Miao Liu leaned over and called out to her daughter urgently, but Miao Feifei didn't react at all, Miao Liu uneasily put his hand close to her nose and lips, and found that her breathing was weak and even, so he relaxed slightly......

It didn't take long for a few black-clothed people to walk outside, two people set up Miao Liu, and one person picked up Miao Feifei, who was still asleep, like an eagle catching a chicken, and walked outside. Miao Liu's futile struggle and screams were dragged out of the cave by them.

Outside, the sky was bright, the sun was shining through the dense foliage, and there were rocky shrubs everywhere, and this was a mountain col. This group of black-clothed people took Miao Liu and Miao Feifei through the bushes and walked to an open field.

In front of him there was a high platform made of earth, on which there was a curtain, two strange flags were erected, and the cigarette smoke of the Ding furnace was curling, and a man was sitting on a chair in the middle. The man was also dressed in black, wearing a black hat, and a black gauze hung down under the edge of the bucket to cover his face, as if the whole person was hidden in the darkness in the smoke, which couldn't help but be daunting.

In front of him, a man in black bowed to the high platform and said, "Lord, the man has been brought!" ”

On the high platform, the man who seemed to be hidden in the darkness spoke, and his voice was hoarse, like metal rubbing: "Tell me, where did that man go?" Lame man. ”

Miao Liu's heart trembled: "Gangster! Didn't he just jump into the river to escape when he met a gangster in the mountains? He's gone...... I'm afraid that these enemies will come to seek revenge. That's it...... He must be afraid of dragging me down, he must be...... He never lied to me! Thinking of this, Miao Liu's heart was agitated.

"Say—"! The man in black on the high platform shouted angrily, his voice piercing.

"I can't say...... I can't divulge any news about him, that would hurt him. He was already lame...... He can't lose his life because of me! Miao Liu gritted her teeth, although the scene in front of her made her feel frightened, but when she thought of that man, she couldn't care about anything.

With a "snap", a man in black stepped forward, and the heavy scabbard slammed into Miao Liu's shoulder, and there was a faint sound of bones breaking. Miao Liu's body stumbled, and he almost fell, and his facial features became distorted due to the severe pain.

"One last time, where did he go—say!" The man in black on the high platform exhausted his patience, and shouted angrily again in a hoarse voice.

"No—I know—the way!" Miao Liu leaned over and gritted his teeth, staring hatefully at the man in black on the high platform. She wanted to rush up and bite the man, but she didn't have the strength, and her shoulder hurt so badly that she couldn't even breathe.

Miao Feifei woke up slowly, opened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her in confusion, and when she understood what was happening, she cried loudly, struggled to break free from the black-clothed man who was holding her, and threw herself at Miao Liu, "Mother......!" ”

The man in black with a hat on the high platform stood up, stretched out his palm and grabbed Miao Liu's five fingers in the air, Miao Liu's body trembled violently, shaking with the five fingers of the man in black. She seemed to be pulled by an invisible silk thread, her limbs trembled and twitched strangely, like a manipulated marionette, her face and limbs were covered with a trace of blood, and soon blood overflowed all over her body.

The man in black slowly clenched his fists, Miao Liu's body curled up like a shrimp, the bones of his whole body clicked, and his mouth let out a miserable and painful moan. The black-clothed man's fist suddenly opened, and with a "puff" sound, her whole person turned into a cloud of blood mist, and the blood water sprayed on the grass, which was red, and the blood mist was sprinkled among the rocks and shrubs, dotted with stars......

"Mother-", Miao Feifei's eyes widened in horror, her originally black and white eyes were full of blood-red color. The cruel scene in front of her deeply stimulated her, and suddenly, the man in black behind her struck her with a knife and knocked her unconscious.

"Don't kill her, feed her the Soul Scattering Pill to erase her memory, send it to the killer camp, it will be useful in the future!" The hoarse voice of the man in black on the high platform sounded again, as if coming from the Nine Hells.
