The little boy who was pulled on his sleeve looked at his crying sister in embarrassment, trying to reason with her:

"Don't, don't cry, there's no way to lose."

The little girl didn't follow, shaking his sleeve and shaking it around: "I don't care, I don't care, brother, you help me snatch it back." ”

When he turned around and saw Wan Yan Jing coming, Huo Xiang, who was crying with a big head by the little girl, suddenly lit up his eyes, he stood behind Wan Yan Jing, and his handsome head was completely exposed because of his height, so he bent his knees slightly, put his chin on Wan Yan Jing's shoulder, and smiled arrogantly at the little girl:

"It's great to have my brother to support you? I also have someone to support me, lady, you help me beat them, they want to rob me of my baba. ”

Leaning so close, there was a faint fragrance on Wan Yanjing's body.

The smell was peculiar, and it didn't seem to come from a certain spice, because their clothes were washed and dried in the same wave, but he didn't think he had this smell on him.

Huo Xiang said as he stroked the goose in his palm, the soft velvet warmed his palm, and a soft feather seemed to have fallen in his heart.

Wan Yanjing tilted her head and glanced at him strangely, and then her eyes were attracted by the little white goose in the palm of his hand.

The young goose seems to have just hatched, but it is unexpectedly energetic and humane, with a short red beak and two small eyes the size of mung beans.

A small cub like this, unmoulted, mostly gray and yellow, this one is rare and pure white, fluffy like a soft cloud in the hand.

As if noticing her sight, the little goose jumped around in Huo Xiang's palm, raised its little head to look at Wan Yanjing, and said two "snorts" to her cute "snort".

Wanting Huo Xiang not to cause trouble, they were still in a hurry to return the goose back The words slipped between their lips and teeth, and swallowed it again.

It happened that the little girl's family heard the cry and came to look for her, and their faces were pale.

They are all tall men of the dealer's house, and they angrily drove the baby home and confronted Wan Yanjing and the others.

A big war is about to break out, Wan Yanjing doesn't want to have more rights and wrongs, so she takes out a piece of silver and buys this little goose as compensation.

Boss Huo Xiang stood aside with the goose alone, watching her negotiate with the villagers.

When the situation calmed down, he lazily walked over, bent his eyebrows and smiled: "It's worthy of a lady, I easily sent them away, the villagers here are so fierce." ”

Wan Yanjing ignored him and asked about the whereabouts of Lao Xu and Ergou.

"They've gone to ask the villagers for news." After Huo Xiang finished speaking, he leaned over with a smile and asked Wan Yanjing for money, "Lady, where did you get the money, and is there anything left?" When I went to the prison to accompany you, I was searched, and I was not allowed to bring anything, and I felt a little uncomfortable that I was completely innocent. ”

Wan Yanjing was not searched, but she also did not have the habit of carrying silver with her.

The silver was brought by Lao Xu from the house, and there were several money bags in the carriage, and she fished one out of the carriage and put it in her arms when she got out of the car.

But there is no need to tell Huo Xiang this.

Instead, she stretched out her hand to Huo Xiang, her palm was upward, there was a slight scab on the side of the fish, and there were calluses in Bai Shengsheng's palm.

Huo Xiang looked at her outstretched palm and was puzzled for a moment, but his mouth was faster than his brain, and he frowned exaggeratedly and said bitterly: "Lady, you are injured, is it very painful, I have to ask Lao Xu if he brought the ointment later." ”

Wan Yanjing glanced at him, feeling that he was a little different from before.

was carried by Ergou for dozens of miles, and begged for mercy without dignity in front of Tu Shanying, Huo Xiang completely let go, and something strange seemed to run out because he was not imprisoned by King Xuan's identity and body.

"The ribs that were kicked off by the old bald man before have been healed, is my blood a miracle effect that cures all diseases, so, Ah Xiang is willing to heal the lady's bloodlet for ......"

Wan Yanjing interrupted him with a sneer: "I asked you to give me the goose, but I bought it with money." ”

“……”

Huo Xiang put the goose in Wan Yanjing's palm, watching the goose bouncing in Wan Yanjing's palm, he couldn't help but wonder: "Is this a goose?" I thought it was a little white duck, lady, how can you tell them? ”

is also a figure at the top of the privileged class in ancient times, why is Wan Yanjing so beautiful, and she also knows how to distinguish ducks and geese.

Wan Yanjing wanted to scold him again, but she took a deep breath and couldn't help but speak.

Huo Xiang doesn't remember it now.

The little goose starts, and it feels as good as imagined, and the annoyance brought by the dream seems to be purified a little by this pure whiteness.

Huo Xiang's eyesight was keen, and when he looked at Wan Yanjing's pale face and lips, the smile in his eyes gradually faded: "What's uncomfortable about the lady?" ”

Wan Yan Jing didn't squint, thinking that I was uncomfortable all over, and I was upset when I saw you.

It may be the physical discomfort caused by the dream, so that she feels unhappy when she sees Huo Xiang now, and she has tried her best to forcibly maintain the demeanor of a princess and not speak ill of him.

Soon Lao Xu and Ergou came back.

Ergou did go to inquire about the news, and also bought a more detailed map of the surrounding area.

Lao Xu is very interesting, which widow in the village is beautiful, he can count the treasures in a short period of time.

There are still ten miles away from Luyang, and their destination is a mountain village that is more than ten miles west after passing through Luyang.

Instead of going to the villagers' homes, they decided to live in a deserted temple not far from the village.

At night, Yan Jing slept alone in the carriage, and Lao Xu, Ergou and Huo Xiang made do with the straw mats in the temple.

Although the carriage is not big, the two or three people are still spacious, and Wan Yanjing has a futon in a room alone, which is the best overnight condition among the four, but she can't sleep much.

She looked up at the roof of the carriage with intricate patterns, thinking back on the past few days, trying to sort out a main line from the details.

It may be that it was too thoughtful, which caused a headache, and Wan Yanjing couldn't think about it, so she had to sit up and meditate for a while before she was relieved.

About a little later, it was cloudy and moonless, and it was dark outside the window.

Wan Yanjing felt that something was strange.

Before going to bed, she checked that the window was facing the deserted temple, but at this time, the shadowy firelight in the deserted temple became fainter and fainter, until it suddenly went out, and the surroundings instantly fell into darkness.

At the same time, there was a faint sound of the wheeling of a carriage near her, as if another carriage was passing very close to her.

Wan Yan Jing was shocked, the surroundings were very quiet, and the sound of insects chirping and grass blades disappeared at some point, only the weirdness that passed by in the silence.

"Smack!"

Wan Yanjing pressed a switch somewhere in the carriage, and the complicated lines on the roof of the car were connected in an instant, emitting a faint golden brilliance.

And Wan Yanjing also looked through the transparent glass window, facing a bruised and decayed dead face attached to the window.

It's cool every day, it's cool all the time, and I'll admit I'm a little too presumptuous.

I was very relaxed after the exam, and no one urged me to do more, which contributed to my laziness.

It's so undeserved, I reflect!
