Chapter 1
"Is it delicious?" Hua Xiangrong looked at the girl who was sitting opposite him and looked like she hadn't eaten for a few days, and asked.
"Delicious, delicious." The girl spoke mutterably while eating.
Her encounter with the girl in front of her was a coincidence. After saying goodbye to Su Budu that day, she went east to Qizhou. She was about to reach the boundary of Qizhou, and she planned to take a break with a cup of tea at a small tea stall on the side of the road.
Suddenly, she saw a group of people running after a young girl dressed in white. The girl's clothes were stained with a lot of dust, her hair was a little disheveled, and her face was delicate.
"Run, stop! I stole our Chu family's things and wanted to run, I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall! ”
The person who shouted at the girl was fierce, with a beard and a knife straddling his waist.
Hua Xiangrong frowned. The girl in white ran straight at her and shoved something into her hand. Then, the girl lay down on the ground in full view of everyone.
"Big brothers, I really didn't steal your things, just let me go." The girl choked up. She also wiped her hand from the tears that were not there on her face.
"All of you here have a testimony. I just went to their Chu house for a meal, but they slandered me for stealing things and chased me all the way! ”
"The Chu family is still a big family in Qizhou, but they bullied me as a weak woman in broad daylight, is there any justice, is there any heavenly reason?"
The girl said righteously and burst into tears, if it weren't for Hua Xiangrong who was holding the thing she stuffed into herself at the moment, she would have been frightened by her words.
The man with a knife across his waist and a beard was obviously shocked by her shameless remarks that reversed black and white, his face turned red, and he didn't hold back a word for a long time.
"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Another man who looked a little thinner and had fair skin said.
"The head of my family set up a porridge shed in the courtyard of the Chu family, and let her come in to drink porridge because she was pitiful. I didn't expect her to steal our Chu family's treasure while others were unprepared, she really didn't know what to do. He pointed to the woman in white who was lying on the ground.
"This eldest brother, you said that I stole your Chu family's treasure, did you see it with your own eyes?" The girl in white asked.
"This ...... It was the head of the house who told us. The man hesitated for a moment, then said.
"The head of your family lied to you, and the reason why he said this is because I discovered a secret of his." The girl said slyly.
"What's the secret ......?" the person who spoke at the beginning asked halfway through his words, and his face suddenly changed.
This time, murderous aura appeared on the faces of both of them. Almost all of a sudden, they suddenly swung their knives at the girl, and the speed was extremely fast.
Two sharp knives were about to take the girl's name, but something blocked them. The two men took a few steps back at the same time, only to see a dagger stuck in the ground.
"Both, even if this girl really stole your things, she wouldn't be guilty of death. Why such a killer? Hua Xiangrong took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"Who are you?" The fair-skinned man asked, obviously unhappy with the man who had been killed halfway.
"When the road is uneven, can't you draw a sword to help?" Hua Xiangrong asked rhetorically.
"It turned out to be a nosy person, don't talk nonsense with her, dare to stop it, and kill it together!" The bearded man said murderously.
"The two of them shout and kill at every turn, and they want to implicate me, an innocent person, acting like this, but it is not in line with the reputation of the Qizhou Chu clan for being known for its benevolence." Hua Xiangrong put down the teacup easily, stood up and helped the girl in white up, and at the same time put the dagger back, and said lightly.
The onlookers talked a lot, and the thinner man grabbed the other one and said, "It's true that we are reckless in what we did, and we should make amends to this girl." But this one, who stole the treasure of our Chu family, must be brought back to ask for an understanding! ”
Hua Xiangrong felt that the eager actions of the two of them just now were clearly to kill people and kill their mouths, and the motive was a sentence from the woman in white. So her life must be difficult to protect when she was brought to the Chu family.
"Let me ask you, did your master ask you to chase you out, do you want a baby, or do you want someone?" Hua Xiangrong asked.
The fair-skinned man's heart was originally as long as the baby, but the head of the family told that as long as the treasure was in hand, it didn't matter if the person lived or died.
Now, it's a human and a baby. But he can't say this, otherwise there are so many people here today, and it won't be good to be gossiped.
"Baby, of course." He said.
"Since she wants a baby, this girl said that she didn't steal it, and the two of them must take her back without verification, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Hua Xiangrong said.
"Yes." Seeing that the situation was improving, the girl immediately said loudly.
"It's still this girl who is sensible. I said I didn't steal it, I don't believe it, you can search your body! ”
The girl said without changing her face. It seems that she is very innocent, so she is also angry because she has been wronged.
The two men discussed for a while, and the man with the beard said, "Okay, as you wish." ”
Then his gaze turned to a woman in the back, with a hint of asking. The woman, dressed in black, looked indifferent, glanced at the two of them, and then moved forward to search her body.
She looked into the eyes of the girl in white, shook her head slowly, and said, "It's not on her." ”
"You haven't searched yet!" The slightly thinner man said.
"I said, not on her." The woman in black repeated it again indifferently, then turned and left. Before leaving, her gaze seemed to stay on Hua Xiangrong for a moment.
The group of people who chased the girl also followed her, and it was clear that these people listened to her.
"Aren't you going back?" The indifferent voice of the woman in black came, as if it had been quenched with ice.
The two of them had no choice, looked at each other, and left.
"Finally gone." The girl in white breathed a sigh of relief, and silently recited that there would be a blessing if she didn't die.
Then she took out a silver hairpin like a trick, grabbed her hair, patted the dust on her clothes, and walked in front of Hua Xiangrong.
"Give me something." She held out her hand to Hua Xiangrong.
"I saved you, aren't you going to say thank you?" Hua Xiangrong asked calmly.
"Thank you." The girl spoke very briefly.
"Now, can you give me something?"
"What's that?" Hua Xiangrong asked rhetorically.
The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and Hua Xiangrong saw the murderous aura in her eyes.
"Do you want to eat, girl?" Hua Xiangrong asked her.
The girl didn't expect her topic to change so quickly, she was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched her belly. She hadn't eaten a full meal for a few days, and she only drank a bowl of porridge in Chu Mansion, and then she was chased until now, and she was indeed very hungry.
"I don't want to." The girl denied it, but nodded, very inconsistently, making her soft two words very unconvincing.
"I'll treat you to dinner." Hua Xiangrong proposed.
"You...... So kind? The girl looked at her hesitantly.
"I've seen injustice and pulled out a knife to help, this girl, you have to believe that I am a good person." Hua Xiangrong said.
In addition to the fact that she is a good person, of course, there are other reasons. One of the most important is that when she came into contact with the girl, she noticed the subtle tremor of her primordial spirit.
There are two possibilities. Either the girl in front of her has a certain connection with her, but she can't remember it because of her memory loss; Or, it's this girl in white who has had a relatively deep contact with her broken primordial spirit.
Either way, it was enough for her to help and get the girl out of her mouth.
The girl in white stared at her for a moment, then said, "Where are you going?" ”
Hua Xiangrong took her into Qizhou.
"By the way, what's your name?" Hua Xiangrong asked her.
"My surname is Luo, and my name is Jiuyu. Luoshui Luo, September 9, goldfish fish, my family calls me Xiaoyu. The girl in white said.
"Then I'll call you Xiaoyu too." Hua Xiangrong said with a smile.
The girl named Luo Jiuyu was stunned again, but did not refute her.
"What about you? What is your name? After a while, Luo Jiuyu asked her.
"Flowers want to look, wild flowers want to look, want to think, look like faces." Hua Xiangrong replied in her words.
"Yun wants clothes, flowers want to look, it's quite good." Luo Jiuyu said.
"It's here, let's go inside." Hua Xiangrong took her into a restaurant, and the plaque of the restaurant had the words "Breeze and Bright Moon" written on it. These four words are dancing with dragons and phoenixes, strong and powerful, and they look chic and abnormal, which is enough to see the skill of the person who writes.
These four words were written by Feng Yuqing back then. She learned to write from Mr. Jiaoshu in the village since she was a child, and later realized the way of writing from the sword intent, so she has a good hand.
In all fairness, the eight characters she carved on the pillar outside the Xuanji Gate are also quite beautiful.
"You brought me here for dinner? Do you have any money? Luo Jiuyu looked at her with wide eyes.
"Just because you don't have it doesn't mean I don't." Hua Xiangrong said.
The silver ticket that was originally intended to be used in exchange for the spirit induction technique did not come in handy because Su Budu gave her the puppet technique. Now, they can do their part.
As soon as they sat down, a guy from the restaurant came up to them and asked them what they wanted to eat.
Hua Xiangrong said to Luo Jiuyu, "You can order it." I just want a pot of snow from the East Mountain. ”
"Hey, this guest officer, it seems to be an expert." The guy said.
These two people were obviously outsiders, but this woman in green clothes with a beautiful face clicked the sign of their restaurant with one mouth. It could be the kind of person who likes to drink and travel all over the world.
Luo Jiuyu took the recipe and ordered a lot of dishes, and the guy behind the order hesitated and asked her: "This guest officer, do you really order so much?" ”
"What, what are you afraid of we can't afford to eat?" Luo Jiuyu asked him.
"Of course not. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it. The guy quickly denied it, and then whispered again.
"Don't worry, you can serve the food." Luo Jiuyu touched his faintly screaming stomach again, swallowed his saliva, and said.
So there is the opening scene. After serving, Hua Xiangrong drank wine, and Luo Jiuyu kept eating with his head buried in his head.
She had eaten all the dishes she had ordered, and then she poured a glass of wine and drank it all.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten this full." Luo Jiuyu sighed and said with satisfaction.
"Now, can you tell me, why did you steal the Chu family's treasure?" Hua Xiangrong asked her.
"I didn't steal." Luo Jiuyu denied.
"This thing wasn't theirs in the first place, I just want to return it to its rightful owner."
"Who is the original owner?" Hua Xiangrong asked.
"Why should I tell you?" Luo Jiuyu asked rhetorically. Apparently she didn't want people to know.
"And what about the Chu family's secret?" Hua Xiangrong decided not to continue to ask and asked another question. The appearance of Luo Jiuyu has brought many mysteries.
Luo Jiuyu blinked, approached Hua Xiangrong, and said mysteriously: "I found that the head of the Chu family is with his sister-in-law. ”
