The smoke curled from the cooking, the strangers were at home, and the quiet of the remote and peaceful mountain village was broken by the sound of horses' hooves.

It was a group of outsiders, and the middle-aged man led by him scattered a handful of copper plates, easily inquired about the information he wanted, and went straight to a house at the end of the village. Seeing this, the bored villagers hurriedly followed, talking and guessing as they walked.

"It's the little lady's family who has found it, right? I said a long time ago that the little lady must be a girl from a big family, and sure enough, yes! ”

"Tsk, now the old king's life has come to an end."

……

The group of outsiders didn't care about the villagers following and discussing, and hurriedly knocked on the courtyard door of a house to explain their intentions.

"I'm bothered, dare to ask the old man, did you save a little girl two days ago?" The middle-aged man rushed open the door and arched his hand, his expression could not hide his eagerness.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and the momentum of the middle-aged man and his party made him dare not slack off, so he nodded hurriedly: "The old man went to collect firewood two days ago, and he saved a little girl, you are——"

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and explained while sweeping his eyes to the courtyard: "My girl climbed the mountain two days ago, accidentally fell off the cliff, and the family has been looking around......

The middle-aged man's name is Duan Wenbai, and he is the second master of Shaoqing Mansion. The girl in his mouth is not his daughter, but his niece, whose surname is Kou and her name is Qingqing.

Kou Qingqing was playing on the mountain with three girls from Shaoqing's Mansion two days ago, but he fell off the cliff unexpectedly, which led to today's incident.

The old man invited people into the hall and pointed to the west room with the old curtain: "That kid is inside—"

Among the people who followed Duan Wenbai was a girl dressed as a maid, who rushed in like a maid when she heard this, and when she saw the girl lying on the kang, she rushed over and burst into tears: "Woo woo, girl, you scared the maid to death......

Hearing the maid's cry, Duan Wenbai raised his feet to follow up, and when he saw that the girl was completely relieved, his expression was relieved and relaxed: "Great, Qingqing, are you okay......"

The girl who was sitting was as green as a waterfall, her face was as pale as snow, her dark eyes rippled slightly, and she had some doubts in her heart.

The girl in front of her who called herself a servant, she didn't know; She didn't know the middle-aged man who called her "Qingqing".

She mourned the death of her mother, and when she was in a hurry, she lost her mind and slipped down the hill and fell into a coma, and then woke up in the home of the old couple. The old couple had a kind heart and took good care of her, and she would have quit after two more days, but she didn't expect these strange people to pop up.

They recognized her as a girl named "Qingqing", and if she hadn't confirmed that she hadn't changed, she would have even thought that the bizarre stories of resurrection from the corpse in her mother's mouth had come true.

Seeing that the girl was silent, the maid panicked: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it hurt...... somewhere?"

Duan Wenbai also showed concern and inquiry.

Whether it is a maidservant or a middle-aged man, their expressions do not seem to be fake. The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "You recognize the wrong person." ”

"What did you say, girl?" The maid was stunned at first, and then seemed to think of something, and her expression changed suddenly, "Girl, shouldn't you have lost your memory when you hit your head as you said in the book?" ”

The Great Xia Dynasty has been stable for a long time, especially in the capital. From the nobles to the people, the pastime is indispensable for the book, and in the past two years, there has been a trend of obsession among the whole people.

"I'm not your girl." The girl's heart was full of suspicions, but her tone was calm.

Duan Wen Baizai looked at the girl carefully, and was sure that it was her niece. Whether this girl has a problem with her head or has a temper, it is not appropriate to stay in this small mountain village for a long time. He sighed and persuaded: "Qingqing, go back to the house with your uncle to see the doctor first, and then say, your grandmother can't eat a few bites of food because she thinks about you for the past two days." ”

The girl shook her head: "You really recognize the wrong person-"

"And who do you say you are?" Duan Wenbai interrupted Xin Yu's words.

"I'm—" The girl paused.

The image of corpses on the ground appeared in front of her eyes, so that she closed her eyes unconsciously, and when she opened them again, those eyes were like deep pools, and there was no light in them.

She came to Beijing to find out the murderer of her mother's relatives, but she couldn't say it.

"Qingqing, it's not uncommon for your head to bump into a moment of confusion, don't feel embarrassed." Duan Wenbai's eyes swept away, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't help the cousin girl up." ”

A sturdy mother-in-law stepped forward and lifted Xin Yu on her back with the help of her maidservant.

Xin Yu's body has not yet recovered, and he lowered his eyes slightly, temporarily accepting this reality that cannot be refused.

Duan Wenbai took out two silver ingots from the money bag and thanked the old couple.

The old man hurriedly excused himself: "I can't help it, I can't help it-"

The old woman, who had been silent, waved her hand and refused.

"If the old man doesn't accept it, it seems that we don't know how to be grateful." Duan Wenbai stuffed the silver ingots into the old man's hand, raised his feet and walked out.

There were many villagers standing outside the courtyard to watch the excitement, and their eyes fell on Xin Yu, who was carried by the servant woman.

"I don't know which girl let the old king save her."

"The old king is lucky."

The idea of the villagers is very simple: Lao Wang Tou saved the girl from a rich and noble family, and the girl's family can give a little reward to Lao Wang's hair for a windfall.

These whispers reached Xin Yu's ears, causing her to turn her head.

"Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, when I get well, I'll come back to see you."

The mother said that the heart of harming people must not be had, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, if this kind-hearted old couple causes evil people to be red because of her, it is her sin.

The old couple said in a loud voice: "Girl, go home in peace." ”

A young carriage stopped quietly at the entrance of the village, and as Xin Yu was helped into the car, the carriage slowly drove away from the small village.

Along the road, the scenery of mountains and strange flowers gradually turned into a forest of shops, and the flow of people was like weaving, and when the carriage stopped, the maidservant girl firmly believed that her girl had lost her memory, and Xin Yu knew the general situation of Qingqing.

This girl named Kou Qingqing is the only daughter of the prefect, four years ago her father died unexpectedly on the way to transfer, the already sick mother heard the bad news and her condition deteriorated, and she arranged for someone to send her twelve-year-old daughter to her mother's house in the capital and died. The prefect's beloved daughter has become a cousin in Shaoqing's mansion, and she has been living for almost four years.

The maid's name is Xiaolian, and she is a maid brought by Kou Qingqing from home. Duan Wenbai, who led people to find his niece, was the concubine of Kou Qingqing's grandmother, and it was her uncle who supported Shaoqing's mansion, Duan Wensong, Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.

"But I'm worried about my grandmother's death, my Qingqing......" Xin Yu entered a room, and before she could see everyone in the house, she was taken into her arms by an old lady dressed richly.

Strange smells, strange people.

Xin Yu moved uncomfortably, and was finally let go by the old lady.

"Qingqing, are you alright? Is there anything wrong with it? ”

The one who spoke was a woman under forty years old, wearing a light coffee gown, with a concerned smile on her face, Xin Yu guessed that this should be Kou Qingqing's aunt Qiao.

The other woman, who looked younger than Qiao's, met Xin Yu's gaze and nodded at her to comfort her, this should be Kou Qingqing's second aunt Zhu.

There were four girls standing in the distance, and before Xin Yu could look at them one by one, the old lady spoke: "Xiaolian, help the girl back to the room first, and the doctor will go over." ”

"Yes." Xiaolian bent her knees and came to help Xin Yu.

Xin Yu's gaze subconsciously fell on Xiaolian's face, and suddenly raised his hand to cover his eyes.

There was nothing unusual before, but just now, she saw a pair of hands grabbing a soft pillow and pressing it a woman's head, waiting for the woman to stop struggling and the pillow moved away, revealing a face.

Is that...... Xiaolian's face.
