The fog was misty, the peach blossoms were blooming, Mo Cong and Chu Ci made a grimace, stuck out their tongues, and ran out of the peach orchard with their legs.

I ran for a while, and I don't know how far I ran, the Taoyuan behind me has long been gone, the two of them are panting on the side of the road, bowing down to protect their chests, looking at each other and smiling, I think it's quite interesting.

"The guy watching the garden must be angry. Mo Cong gasped, still with a smile on his face.

"I told you to be nosy, but you didn't listen, because you have suffered a lot in your meddling. Chu Ci complained, looked at the big-eyed boy in front of him, and felt helpless in his heart, and smiled obediently: "Let's go!"

The two of them accidentally bumped into each other, and found that there was a wide official road under their feet, although it was a remote area, but the official road was paved with stone bricks, which could accommodate eight carriages to drive side by side, and the aspens were planted on both sides of the road, the trunks were as high as zhangxu, the crown of the trees was gathered upwards like a torch, the green leaves were stained with morning dew, the breeze was blowing, the leaves were turned over, shining, and there was a sound.

"Senior sister, look! There's a city in front of you!"

Mo Cong looked up, and the road was straight, leading to a majestic city. The tall and mighty city tower stands tall, the building is divided into three floors, each floor is the blue tile glaze, the Danzhu is painted, and the lifelike beast is pressed on the foot. The gray city walls, the arched three doorways, and the largest opening in the middle, two vermilion lacquer gates with golden nails are open. Pedestrians carrying and leading horses come and go.

"Let's go buy some things, let's go back quickly!" Chu Ci said. I was still worried about what had just happened.

Mo Cong was fine, he casually helped Chu Ci wrap the scarf, and said with a smile: "I finally took you into the city, how can I go back and go back, you forgot that when you were a child, you cried and shouted for me to take you to the town below the mountain to play." We're going to have enough fun in the city this time. ”

Chu Ci blinked, thinking about the past in his mind, was silent for a moment, and laughed softly: "That was when I was a child, is it different now, I don't even want to live in the palace, let alone this broken city." ”

Mo Cong savored these words and rolled his eyes, "Why do I think you're ordering me!"

Chu Ciyan smiled, with a coquettish look on her face, and said with red lips: "If you understand, then satisfy your curiosity and go around the city more." After saying that, he turned his pretty face proudly and stepped forward, Mo Cong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled, and followed closely.

The two of them couldn't stop when they entered the city, and their strong curiosity drove Mo Cong to go east and west, and went to the opera garden to listen to a little song, and ate some snacks in the city, and when they finished shopping, it was almost dusk, and when they returned to the small village, the twilight was dull, the stars were bright, and every household in the village had been lit with lights. The chickens don't crow and the dogs don't bark, and the village is peaceful and quiet.

"Senior sister!" As soon as the two entered the village, Mo Cong suddenly stopped at the entrance of the village, flashed a pair of big eyes and said, "It's better for us to quietly put those things at their door while it's dark, and they will be very surprised when they get up tomorrow morning." ”

Chu Ci pulled off the scarf and looked at Mo Cong for a while, looking at his eyes shining like stars, Chu Ci nodded and said, "This is a good idea, even if they don't know who sent it, but our heart has arrived." ”

"That's it, why bother to let people accept our favors, it's troublesome. ”

The two of them had already decided, and the beating figures, the new cotton clothes of the owner's grandmother, the few feet of flower cloth of the little sister next door, the sickle of Li Laohan, and the axe of the second bald man were all unconsciously placed in a conspicuous position outside the house. Doing these things was effortless for Mo Cong and Chu Ci, the two of them were busy for a while, and when they returned to their small courtyard, they easily patted the dust on their hands, and they both felt satisfied.

Early the next morning, the young couple slept soundly on the hot kang, but heard someone "clang" on the door. Mo Cong rubbed his eyes in a daze, Chu Ci stretched out a snow-white arm and turned over, Mo Cong had already climbed up, her arm slapped into the air, her head was stunned in the center of the dream, her eyes were slit, and she shouted vaguely:

"Brother Mo Cong, who is it?"

Mo Cong opened the peach-colored curtains, dotted the window paper with his hands, outside the window, Li Laohan clicked a mouthful of eye bags, a mouthful of smoke made Mo Cong's eyes water, Mo Cong quickly rubbed his eyes, and when he looked out again, the first thing he saw was Li Laohan's toothless smile, Li Laohan's face was full of wrinkles, his beard was white, almost ugly, but in the morning light, he was full of the simplicity of the villagers. The courtyard behind him was full of people, and almost all of the more than a dozen families had arrived, and their faces were as simple as Li Laohan.

"Get up! The folks are here. Mo Cong hurriedly lowered the curtains, casually picked up his small coat, patted Chu Cilu's snow-white buttocks exposed outside the quilt with one hand, and said in a low voice.

"Hmm! It's all a good thing you did," Chu Ci habitually picked up his long hair, and complained sleepily: "It's so bad that people can't sleep well, how can I go out to meet people like this!"

"Then you can sleep, I'll go out and receive them with the highest courtesy!" Mo Cong grinned.

"Then you go!" After Chu Ci finished speaking, he lay down slowly and covered the quilt tightly.

Mo Cong washed his face casually, went out and closed the door again, and found that the yard was covered with chickens and ducks, all with ropes tied to their wings, with their necks on their backs, unable to make a sound, and scurrying on the ground. Mo Cong understood as soon as he saw the faces of the villagers, grabbed his hair and said, "Fellow villagers, you all take it back, don't be so polite!"

"That's not possible!" Li Laohan was obviously the oldest and most senior old man in the village, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "We are all home-owned, not valuable, and the things you give are precious to us farmers!"

"Yes, Brother Mo Cong, you don't have to spend so much money in the future, so we will all be embarrassed!" The little sister next door had a sweet look on her little face.

"That's it, you are our folks when you live here, why be so polite. ”

"I'm still missing a hoe, and if you don't take these things, I won't be able to use my hoe. ”

The villagers were grateful for Dade's discussion in the courtyard, for it was not easy for them to go to the city, and those fine cloths and ironware could not afford it. Mo Cong looked at the simple eyes of the villagers in the courtyard, and his heart was full of emotion. He has always been in and out of the mountain gate martial arts, and he is also used to the luxurious life in the palace, even when he lived in seclusion with the master, he never experienced the bitterness of these ordinary people, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Folks, you really don't have to be polite, I will accept these things, and whoever lacks anything in the future will come to me to ask for it, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk." ”

As Mo Cong was talking, he suddenly saw a sturdy, dark-skinned man with an axe in his hand, and walked into the courtyard with a fierce face, looking as if he was going to fight with someone. As soon as the man entered the courtyard, he went straight to Mo Cong.

"Ergouzi, what are you doing here?" The man was stopped by the people in the courtyard before Mo Cong approached.

Li Laohan knocked the cigarette ash from the cigarette pouch pot on the upper of his shoe, walked up to the young man unhurriedly, and said with a serious face: "Second dog, people have given you something and sent it out of sin?"

The person who came looked anxious, looked at the reproachful eyes of the villagers, looked at the serious and old face of Li Laohan with the style of an elder, twisted his head, sighed, and said: "Hey, you misunderstood, am I that kind of person? This house is still for cleaning." ”

"Then what are you doing?" Li Laohan looked at him questioningly and said, "Look at your eyes are round, is this going to kill someone? I can tell you dog, your mother didn't grow up eating our people's rice soup, if you want to cut me, you will cut me first." After speaking, Li Laohan tore off his clothes, revealing his withered chest.

"Dog, none of us can let you get along with this child today!" several middle-aged people in the village also stepped forward to stop them.

Ergouzi's face was even more anxious, and he hurriedly threw the axe to the ground, with a bitter face, and gestured with his hand: "My grandfather, grandmother, I'm here to thank others, and by the way, I'll report to you, something big happened." After saying that, he squatted on the ground and grabbed his hair with both hands, looking very sad.

The fellows were stunned. Mo Cong stepped forward and said, "Big brother, don't worry, if you have something to say, say it slowly, even if I don't do anything well and offend you, you will tell the truth." ”

"Oops!" When the second dog saw Mo Cong, he hurriedly stood up, grabbed Mo Cong's hand with his big calloused hand and said, "Brother, you are an understanding person, I can't make sense with them." After speaking, he looked at the people around him, and his face was very aggrieved.

"Well, you can say it!" Mo Cong said again.

"Brother, I'm really here to thank you, but it's really a big incident, don't I work in the neighboring village, I went out before dawn, but I just arrived in the village and heard about something, I don't know who killed the water dragon that King Jing watched in Taoyuan, and now those surrounding villages are full of soldiers, and they have cut down more than a dozen. ”

After listening to the second dog, all the villagers in the courtyard were frightened.

"Well, has the man who killed the water dragon been found?" someone asked.

"I'll come back and do my fart when I find it! Isn't this here to report to you, let's run for our lives! That Jing Wang Ye kills people like ants, it is estimated that in a few days they will be able to search our village, our village is small, if we don't run, we will die. The second dog said with a frightened face.

After listening to him, the faces of the people in the courtyard changed, and even Li Laohan was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and almost sat on the ground, but fortunately someone behind him helped him.

"Oh, this is really, who is so bold and dares to touch the things of the prince Jing, isn't this nothing to look for!"

"Who's to say it's not, why do you want to kill that thing if you have nothing to do?"

"Those people who practice martial arts, relying on their own skills, don't know how thick the sky is, this is good, they slapped their butts and left, and we will suffer. ”

Hearing the discussion of the people in the courtyard, Mo Cong's heart jumped, and in order to hide the panic in his heart, he smiled disapprerovingly: "Folks, you don't have to be afraid, my senior sister and I will try our best to find a way to find out about this matter and return your innocence!"

"Oops!" When Li Laohan heard this, he walked up to Mo Cong in a trembling manner, stared at Mo Cong with his eyes, and said anxiously: "Child, you can't go, you just came and don't know, that King Jing is not easy to mess with, that is the emperor's own son." ”

"When he stared, the mountains trembled, you must not provoke him, let's go hide first, and then come back when he is angry!" Several older people also came to persuade Mo Cong.

"The emperor's son?" Mo Cong thought to himself, and his face changed color, "This time this disaster has broken into the sky." ”
