The dense fog dissipated, and on the hill where the Thirty Mile Pavilion was located, a bright moon hung high, and the moonlight like water illuminated the hill and the barren pavilion clearly.

A scholar in a green shirt and a woman in red walked on the mountain road.

It is Li Xiangyun and Guo Nanjun who have returned from eradicating the Golden Carp View.

"Sir, what should you do with Twig?"

Approaching the barren pavilion, Guo Nanjun stopped.

Li Xiangyun looked at her and said, "What do you think should be done?" ”

Guo Nanjun replied: "She still doesn't know that she is dead, and she is still waiting for her father and mother to come to her and take her to see a doctor." How sad would she be if she knew the truth? ”

"yes."

"Sir, can we take her with you? Or send her to Xiufeng Mountain, where Miss Liu happens to lack a temple blessing, so that Xiaozhi can be transformed from a ghost to a god without suffering from reincarnation. ”

Li Xiangyi pondered.

After a long time, he asked, "Nanjun, what do you think Xiaozhi wants the most?" ”

Guo Nanjun thought for a while and replied: "What I want most should be that my parents didn't abandon her, and the next day I really came with money, took her to see Langzhong, and then recovered from a serious illness." ”

"From now on, the family lives happily ever after."

"But it's impossible, after all, her father ...... mother."

Li Xiangyun interrupted: "No, it's possible! ”

Guo Nanjun's eyes were slightly surprised, a little dazed.

……

In the barren pavilion, Xiao Qianjun was talking to Xiao Zhi about some interesting things about Hanshan Academy.

Twigs listened very curiously and happily, and the two little girls laughed cheerfully from time to time.

She also told Xiao Qianjun that she helped A-Niang to harvest grass and feed pigs, and helped her father scrub hunting equipment, and her father would give her and her younger brothers and sisters every time she went up the mountain, picking some wild fruits back, which was very sweet and delicious.

The younger brother is very young, only three years old, but he will help her with the work.

My sister is younger, only one year old, but she likes to stick to her, and she only sleeps at night when she coaxes her.

This time, she went to the county seat with her father and mother to see Langzhong, and she didn't remember anything, but she missed her brother and sister a little.

She seems to have just left the house, and it seems that she has been away from home for a long time.

She won't go back tonight, and she doesn't know the candy that her brother saved for her, so she is reluctant to take it out and eat it herself, and if she doesn't eat it, it may be bad tomorrow.

I don't know if my sister can fall asleep without her coaxing.

Alas, the little girl held her chin with one hand, and there was a little sorrow.

At this moment, Li Xiangyun and Guo Nanjun walked in.

"Big brother!"

Xiao Qianjun was very happy to see her senior brother come back.

Xiaozhi was also very happy, and said with an innocent smile: "Big brother, big sister, you have been feeding the horses for a long time this time, is it that the horses are not very well-behaved and don't eat grass?" ”

Li Xiangyi smiled and said, "It's a little unruly." ”

"Big brother, next time you feed the horses, you can call me, I know how to make the horses eat well."

"Okay, I'll call you."

Li Xiangyi smiled warmly and touched Xiaozhi's little head.

At the same time, a wisp of wine drifted in the deserted pavilion.

……

Thirty Mile Pavilion.

A little girl of five or six years old, with her hands on her knees, sat obediently on the small bench in front of the pavilion, looking to the west.

A female businessman saw that she was cute, and stepped forward to talk: "Little girl, I see that you have been sitting here alone for a long time, do you want to go with your aunt?" It just so happens that I have a daughter at home, who is as old as you, and I can be with her when I go. ”

The little girl shook her head: "No, thank you, Auntie." My father and aunt were in a hurry when they went out and forgot to bring their money bags, so they went back to get them and came back in a while. ”

"Your father and aunt won't come back."

"No, they will definitely come back. Daddy and Auntie never lie to Xiaozhi! ”

The female merchant looked at this well-behaved and determined little girl, and liked her more and more, and wanted to take her back and be a companion to her daughter.

At this moment, a middle-aged couple hurried from the side of the mountain road.

When the little girl saw it, she immediately threw her legs to meet her: "Daddy, Auntie!" ”

The man opened his hands, caught the little girl who rushed over, and picked her up high.

Scratched her nose and asked with a smile, "My family has been waiting for a long time, right?" It's Daddy and Auntie who are not good, and they shouldn't leave you here alone. ”

"It's okay, it didn't take long, I sat for a while, and my father and aunt came back."

The woman next to her was also a little guilty, and said, "We brought some more money this time, and after reading Langzhong, we have cured our illness, and we will buy you some pastries to eat." Don't you like the mung bean cake of Senli's house the most, A-Niang will buy you a whole box. ”

"Thank you, Auntie, I'll just eat one, and leave the remaining four for my brother and sister."

"No, you have eaten it all, this time it will not be distributed to your brother and sister, they want to eat, and the next time you go to the county seat, you will buy it for them."

"Really? Can I really eat five at once? Then I'll eat it, right? ”

"It doesn't matter if you eat it, if you like it, A-Niang will buy it for you."

"Mmmm, A-Niang is the best A-Niang in the world!"

……

Then the couple led the little girl, bid farewell to the kind female merchant, and took a donkey cart to the county seat.

When I came to the Li Medical Center in Xu County, the doctor took the pulse of the little girl, and then used the doctor's exploration technique to check it.

said to the middle-aged couple: "It's just a small hysteria, it's no big deal, I'll prescribe a prescription, you go back and decoct the medicine according to the prescription, give it to the little girl, and it won't take half a month to heal." ”

The couple was overjoyed and offered a generous honorarium: "Thank you, doctor, thank you!" ”

Coming out of the hospital, the couple led the little girl to the thyme pastry shop and bought a whole box of mung bean cakes.

The little girl was eating and walking, and her big eyes were smiling like crescents.

……

Half a month later, the little girl's illness was cured.

The couple sent her to the town school to study.

Mr. Gakujuku is a green shirt scribe.

When the little girl saw it from afar, she trotted over, bent down and bowed, "Ning Xiaozhi of Ningjia Village, I've seen Mr!" ”

Mr. Tsing Yi accepted this worship calmly.

The couple who came afterwards offered their bundles.

After worshipping Mr., the little girl is a student of the school, following Mr. to recognize words and enlightenment, learn the scriptures, and know all things.

A few years later, Ning Xiaozhi, who had grown into a girl, went to the county seat to participate in the children's test, but failed.

I participated for another two years, but I still didn't win.

But Miss Twigs was not discouraged at all, but was very happy.

Because she has participated in scientific research in recent years, she has met many friends and learned how to make pastries.

Her father wanted her to continue her studies and try the boy's test again, but she refused.

It happened that the shopkeeper of the Qianlixiang pastry shop was going to the county town to join her children, so she took over Qianli Xiang and opened a pastry shop.

The girl shopkeeper of the pastry shop who loves to eat and likes to work is living a prosperous life.

After another three years, the daughter of the Ning family has grown up, and the little branch shopkeeper in the peach and plum years met Xiucai surnamed Zhang, who went to the county town to participate in the township test and passed by the county seat, and they had feelings for each other.

A month later, the township test was unveiled, and Zhang surnamed Xiucai was selected in the examination, and after returning to his hometown, he was married to his parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Ninghu agreed, and Miss Xiaozhi and Zhang Juren got married on an auspicious day.

After worshipping heaven and earth and the high hall, Xiaozhi girl and Zhang Juren worshiped affectionately.

This worship, the good fate is forever knotted, matching the same name, the book to the Hongzhi, containing the mandarin spectrum.

A few years later, Zhang and Ning had both children and a harmonious family business.

For another 20 years, Ningzi High School explored flowers, famous all over the world; Ning Nu married Xiucai in the same county, and her grandson and granddaughter fell to the ground.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.

Mr. Zhang has passed away, and the schoolgirl and the shopkeeper of Xiaozhi have also become a white-haired old woman.

The son who was in the prime of life had an honest official reputation, had a clear reputation in the Manchu Dynasty, became an official in other places, and sent his children to his hometown.

Mrs. Ning handed over all the things in the house to her daughter-in-law, watered flowers and cut grass every day, and teased her grandson.

On a sunny and clear afternoon, Mrs. Ning, who took her young grandson to take a nap, was kind and peaceful, and drove the crane west.

The young grandson wept and alarmed the whole house.

Ning Zi returned to his hometown, Ning Nu came to send, and before the mourning hall, dozens of relatives bowed together.

This worship, the life of the little branch girl, came to an end.

……

The wine is not good, and the yellow sorghum wakes up from a dream.

The cold moon still shines on the hills and the barren pavilion.

The little branch girl in the Thirty Mile Pavilion, her body was faint and slowly dissipated.

She looked at the three people in front of her and smiled sweetly.

"Big brother, thank you!"

Glancing at the direction of Ningjia Village again, the little soul shadow turned into a breeze, blowing the eaves of the pavilion and running towards the bright moon.
