At midnight, the main roads in the city enter the curfew period.

Transition from north to south, one hundred and eight squares of rich and poor differentiation is obvious, if you can overlook from the air, ten thousand candles, the southernmost stars are dotted, in turn to the north, in the middle of the east and west two cities, most of the merchants are concentrated, near the left of the imperial city, it is the mansion of the central court.

There are many wine shops, gambling houses, and all kinds of hooks.

Compared with the common people in the north of the city who go to bed early in order to run around tomorrow, the nightlife of the upper dignitaries in the south of the city, which belongs to the rich, has just begun.

In Changxingfang, the descendant who always has a simple smile on his face, his hands in his sleeves, swaying and stopping at the door of an inconspicuous small house.

At this time, it was still early spring, and it was cold at night, I don't know if I was frozen, and the latter raised his arm to wipe his nose.

Housheng first knocked lightly on the door knocker, waited for a few breaths and did not respond, laughed and scolded "pig's head", I thought that I was asleep at this point, and there was no one in Housheng to look left and right, and my feet swept up the courtyard wall and climbed into the yard and groped into the room.

Bian Xiaoxian, the magistrate of Wanshi County, who was no longer fat, was sitting on the edge of the bed.

For example, he, a small official who belongs to the Xian Lai Gong, can be safe and stable at home at this time, naturally it will not be because of honesty, such a position the size of a grain of rice that has no power and is just running errands under the Jingzhao Mansion, the oil and water are enough, and the harvest of the New Year's Festival is a number that ordinary people dare not think of.

Seeing the person clearly through the faint light of the oil lamp, Bian Xiaoxian, who was awakened and slightly distracted, said haha, and greeted with sleepy eyes, "Brother Li'er." ”

"You, how do you live more and more backwards." The identity is naturally the aboriginal of the wicked pit, Song Li, the knife catcher who was demoted out of the palace six or seven years ago, smiled and said, "I entered the house and you found out, if this is touched by the bad guys, I don't know how it is." ”

"Don't be afraid, not afraid." Bian Xiaoxian laughed dryly, "Lord Yama won't accept me." ”

"No news about you?" Song Li was obviously reluctant to get too involved in his personal life, and directly asked the purpose of coming out to find him.

Bian Xiaoxian then made a bitter face, walked to Song Li and sat down, leaned on the table with a round rumbling head, and complained: "There have been too many things in Jingzhao Mansion recently, the second and third aunts and grandmothers heard that the third night was back in Beijing, and they asked me to find him as soon as possible, I am an errand runner in Jingzhao Mansion, and I am not skilled, Brother Li, besides, the news you provided is too one-sided, the capital is so big, how to find it?" Beishi is in the realm of Cao Niang, do you want to stop looking for a kind of pampa and let him help? ”

Song Li pouted, embarrassed: "I looked for it once last time, but I'm not embarrassed this time." ”

I knew that this pear brother, who grew up with his bare buttocks, knocked out the prince of Tai'an County last time in order to inquire about the bald head of this man and woman, and the fat man said: "Why don't I secretly go and find a kind of pampa?" ”

"Aren't you afraid of that Cao Tianjiao?"

Song Li teased the fat man who was in charge of more than 100 officials in Tai'an back to his original form, but he still smiled and said, "If you go secretly, there will be no problem." ”

Song Li hated his appearance of smiling and smiling, especially on this fat face, a bunch of fat meat squeezed together, which was really ugly.

Song Li stretched out her hand and put the pestle on Bian Xiaoxian's face, put her finger against the fat that fell down her cheeks, and said, "You are a big official, I can not move you." ”

This is located in the underground world of Tai'an County, which can be regarded as calling for wind and rain, how can the prince still have half of the official authority at this time, let Song Li take his piece of fat to play, and replied with a smile: "Brother Li'er laughed at me again, no, I am a younger brother in front of you." ”

"I don't have a brother your age." Song Li avoided the other party's sycophant very inappropriately, "Don't talk nonsense with you, I'm leaving." ”

As he spoke, he was about to get up, but he was quickly grabbed by the eyes of the laughing fairy, so that he almost didn't step on the air.

Bian Xiaoxian was a little embarrassed, and said, "Use too much force, use too much force." ”

Song Li didn't care, a group of people have been used to making trouble since they were children, and they definitely won't blame each other for this kind of thing, right?

Bian Xiaoxian pressed Song Li back on the seat and said, "Don't worry about it for a while, Brother Li'er, let's talk for a while." ”

Song Li directly refused, "I don't, you're too ugly, I'm not in the mood after watching it for a long time." ”

Bian Xiaoxian was bored, but the smile on his face did not decrease, "You can't see clearly when it's dark, it's okay." ”

"But I'm in a hurry." Song Li said helplessly, "I'm going back to the pit again." ”

"What are you doing when you go home?"

"Go to the ghost market."

Obviously, this answer startled Bian Xiaoxian, how could he still have the playful and playful appearance just now, the wall-like body "Teng" got up, looked back, and said hurriedly, "You can't go to Nanshi!" I'll go. ”

"Oh, why are you in a hurry than me." As soon as he grabbed the side of Xiaoxian who was about to get dressed, Song Litan held a piece of fat around his waist and said, "After all, you haven't seen that person, it's better for me to go." ”

Bian Xiaoxian looked embarrassed, "You have been pulled into the black list by that old immortal, wouldn't it be ...... now?"

"What else can they do to me?" Song Li interrupted, "How many years have this been, that person has long forgotten about it." ”

Bian Xiaoxian said: "No one dares to offend what that person said at the beginning, Cao Tianjiao's girls all turn a blind eye to it, and it is not easy to say a nest of snakes and rats, so there must be something to say if she can be afraid." ”

Song Li waved his hand and said, "What are so many things, can he still kill me?" ”

"Oops." Song Li's oil and salt didn't enter, so that Bian Xiaoxian stomped his feet, and he was already out of words.

Song Li got up and said, "I have my own measure, I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of." ”

Bian Xiaoxian watched Song Li walk out, angry, and her bloated body trembled a little, "Brother Li'er, don't worry about it, okay?" ”

Song Li stopped, turned around, and the smile on her face that had always been on her face disappeared completely, "What did you say?" ”

In the silent night, under the dim candle flame, only the rough breath of the opposite side was one after another, and neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until Bian Xiaoxian let out a sigh and made a lot of determination, "Brother Li'er, why don't you stay in the Feng'ao Castle?" What did you come back for? Is this the opportunity you've been waiting for? After waiting for a few years, you will participate in the game of their big shots? ”

Song Li raised her eyebrows, "Fatty, there are some things that you shouldn't say." ”

Bian Xiaoxian's wheezing intensified, obviously angry, "You know the way you are now, seven years ago, you took a group of us to help him, what happened?" The only three of us who survived, those brothers, sold their lives with those gold and silver? What about you? Isn't it just that in order to help him, he let the boss grab the head and kick him out? Six years ago, because of helping him, what was the person who was beaten by the head of the ghost market? What did he say in the third watch of the night? You're all thanks to him! Why do you keep helping him over and over again? ”

The more the fat man spoke, the more excited he became, "Brother Li'er, it's not that you don't understand, so what is arresting him, it's someone who wants to kill him!" Can't you see that? You're stupid, what are you doing in it! Brother Li'er, who can make a move on the night three, how many can there be in the whole world? It's not that you can't guess who the other party is, so you have to be more real? I'm scared to think about it, why do you have to be the first cannon to cross the river? That's a fight between the gods, why are we ordinary people wading into this muddy water?! ”

This fat man, who is the same as Song Li and Ye Qing, who only wants to improve the conditions of the wicked pit with his own ability, is almost pleading, "Brother Li'er, now that there are me and Ye Qing, you don't have to bother anymore, can you go back to Fengao?" Let's not get involved, okay? Aunt Song... Aunt Song doesn't want you to suffer these sins. ”

Song Li turned around, walked to the door and opened the door, squatted on the threshold three fingers wide, shook her arms, and looked towards the sky where there were only a few stars twinkling.

"You shouldn't say this, you can't even have this kind of thought, you and Lao Ye can have today, really rely on their own abilities?"

Song Li sighed, her thoughts fluttering.

"Xian'er, do you remember what my mother said about you and Brother Qing back then? She said that we children, you and Brother Qing are the worst, because you two are easy to cause trouble, and if you cause trouble, you will push it on the rest of us. You are the best at deceiving people, and Brother Qing is the most capable of fighting, and we don't dare to confess to the two of you, so we can only be beaten and scolded for the two of you every time. But my mother also said that you two are the most responsible, and the children in the pit who are angry with outsiders are all angry with the two of you, and you have been men since childhood. So every time my mother boiled out the sugar, even if I only gave one piece, I gave you two pieces. In fact, I just want the neighbors in the pit to live a good life, and don't be like my mother, who is sick and can't be invited by Langzhong. ”

The honest posterior scratched his head, and the memory of his mother turned into a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Originally, I thought that if I entered the palace, I could change it all of a sudden, and I could let the court arrange a few Langzhong for us in the pit, but I didn't want to do such a thing, but fortunately, I survived, but I was on such a stall, alas, I can't blame others, blame myself for my bad life."

Song Li fell into the memories of the past again, looking at the thousands of stars in the sky, and there was light in her eyes.

"Do you remember what my mother said before she died? She said that she had a favor to be rewarded, although she didn't take the medicine, but people did it, that is, they were kind to her. Brother Xian'er, you and Brother Qing have been taking care of me for more than 20 years, isn't it because of my mother's caramel candy? The grace of a drop of water is not reciprocated by a spring, but only for the death of a confidant. If I mix it up so blindly, let them owe me a big favor, and we wicked people will turn over. ”

Song Li turned her head, smiled at the side, and showed a simple smile again.

"Hey, hey."

It seems to remember that in the small courtyard by the river when I was a child, there was a woman who was half-blind from boiling sugar all day long, but she could still accurately put two caramel in her hand.

Bian Xiaoxian lowered his head, and tears fell.

"But it's not worth it."

Song Li got up, stretched a big lazy waist, and said with a smile: "There is nothing worth it in the world, only whether you do it or not." ”

"Even if the gods are fighting, I intervene, if I really die, then you remember to tell everyone in the pit that I, Song Li, helped the gods fight!"

Song Li walked away.

"If you have this kind of distraction in the future, remember to change two or three, you are too ugly and inappropriate."
