2 Woe to Yanzhuo City (2)

The group walked in the wind and snow, and their heads almost hung into their necklines, thinking that they had gone far away, but when they looked up, they had not yet walked out of the length of the Bai family's caravan. Fei Nu turned back frequently, and Hua'er couldn't help but chatter: "We haven't been an errand for the Bai family, and we've only heard about the Bai family, but those things are true." When Uncle Bai was alive, someone stole a piece of white marble from the Bai family and was sunk by the Bai family. We've seen the corpse before, floating on the moat in the summer, rotting and stinking. She half-truths and half-truths scare Fei Nu, even if Fei Nu's brain is alive, but she really has never done anything out of the ordinary. After speaking, the tip of his nose wrinkled, and he pretended to smell: "Oops, I can still smell it now!" ”

Xiao Ah Song learned from her on the side: "It stinks, it stinks." The rest burst out laughing.

The caravan of the Bai family stretched for two or three miles outside the city. In addition to the common horses and mules, there were two camels at the tail of the team. The camel stood in the snow and spat from time to time. Ah Song had never seen a camel, so he pointed at it from afar and said, "That's a monster!" ”

The people in the caravan laughed at her when they heard this: "The little girl has never seen the big world, this is a camel." ”

"It's an ugly monster with two pots." Ah Song Tong was unscrupulous and made others laugh.

There was a lot of harmony, but the flowers shivered, looking around, and there was nothing unusual. Xu heard and saw the dirty thing yesterday, and he was so worried in his heart, and he always felt that the square head was about to hit her head, so he was in no mood, and urged him to go quickly, frozen to death, pulled Ah Song with one hand and pulled the cicada with the other, and walked quickly.

The man in the sedan chair of the caravan behind him asked, "You smell it too?" ”

The person outside the sedan replied, "I smell it." "The master of the heart is well-deserved.

There was a moment of silence inside, and then he said, "Kill." ”

The outsider didn't make a sound, and he didn't know if he heard it, but his mouth pouted.

A few people tossed outside the city, walked by the river, all the way snow-white, couldn't tell the distance from near, had to rely on intuition. There was a new row of footprints in the snow on the riverbank, of different shades, stretching forward.

"Isn't this going in the direction of our fish?" Ah Yu was worried that the place where they were fishing would be discovered, and he was afraid that something would happen because of it. The cicada explained him on the side, this river is not theirs, and the fish is not theirs, if others really find out, it is just to earn a mouthful of food by their own ability. After a little more walking, the footprints were gone. Ah Yu tripped over something, looked down, and a hand was faintly visible in the snow. Several people stopped, looked at each other, and finally decided to dig people out.

It is common for dead people to die, and it is also common for people to freeze to death, and even the young Ah Song did not panic because of this, and even helped to plow snow when digging people.

It's a man. His face was dark purple, with a blood mark, and his face was almost cut in half, hideous and terrifying. Hua'er's hand reached his nose, and he was still breathing weakly, but his life was short.

"Alive." She said: "It's a big life, it's your good life to meet us today." ”

"I'm dying. Sensei. "The flying slave looked around, and it was easy to be ruthless when he encountered a dead person in these years, such as a mouse making a hole.

"You can't see death without help." Hua'er rolled her eyes and said, "Save him, but search him and take away what can be used as silver, okay?" ”

Fei Nu's heart was a little relieved when he heard this: "Look at the injury on his face, ordinary people can't hurt like this." Don't look for trouble, before going out, tell me to do it all night, be careful, and don't look for trouble. In spite of this, the man crouched down and opened his eyes, and his eyes were dilated, and his life was not long in sight. Hua'er remembered that there was an abandoned thatched hut in front of her, so she said to Ah Yu: "Let's accumulate some virtue and carry him to the thatched hut first." Even if he died, he would not be a wandering spirit on the side of the road, but a place to shelter from the wind and snow. ”

The men stopped talking, but lifted their hands and feet to hold their heads, and with great effort, carried the man into the hut. The hut was dilapidated, the roof was leaking, and there was a patch of snow in the middle of the ground. And they put them in a corner, and went and looked for dead branches, and kindled a fire beside him. The bonfire crackled, and the hut was warm, and the man didn't have to be a frozen ghost.

"The world is not good, don't be a man again in the next life. Be a beast in the mountains, an eagle in the grassland, even a toad in the river, don't come to this world again. Cicada said. After saying these words, I thought of the two younger brothers who were lost at home, and my nose was sour.

Fei Nu went to search his body, but Hua'er stopped him, but he said, "You said it, search your body, and take away the valuable things." ”

"It's not authentic!" The flower grabbed his sleeve to stop him.

"Your grandma will run out of medicine soon, you don't care if it's authentic or not!" The Flying Slave pushed her aside and quickly touched the man's clothes. The man snorted, and the flying slave was startled, and withdrew his hand: "That's it! Take you to hell. ”

Before leaving, they looked back again, and the man was motionless, and whether he lived or died was left to Providence. When I stumbled to the river, because of the dying man, I couldn't help but feel some sorrow in my heart, and I didn't say anything when I dug a hole in the ice.

Fishing in the extremely cold weather is really fatal, a few people's ice picks chiseled little by little, fortunately the water they found is not deep, coupled with the magic power of Ah Yu, more than an hour to completely dig through the river, to hear the sound of rushing water. Ah Song stuck in to look and shouted, "There are fish!" There are fish! ”

When they heard that there were fish, several people became cheerful again. They couldn't remember the last time they had eaten meat and fish, and now the fish swimming in the underground water seemed to have a fragrance. Even the usually calm cicada laughed.

They took out their homemade nets to catch fish, and the mouth of the water hole was cold, and their hands were frozen through it, and several times and three times, they caught a few small fish.

"That's what it takes a lot of work, I got salt, and then I marinated the fish and froze it, and stored it for a long time." Feinu smiled, but Hua'er asked him, "Where did you get the salt?" ”

"Leave it alone."

"Someone was found to be beheaded."

"Cut it, cut it, and sooner or later you will die. Either beheaded to death, or frozen to death by starvation, and was dragged to the army to fight to death. ”

Hua'er wanted to say something, but Ah Song pulled the corner of her clothes: "Sister Hua'er, do you see someone beating horses in the distance?" ”

When the flowers look at it, it's really. Several people glanced at each other, quickly threw the fishing guy into the pit, and the cicada took the small bamboo basket containing the fish to drag Ah Song to hide in the forest. The rest covered the hewn river with snow and stood in front of them.

The horse was very fast, and galloped over the river beach, and the slush brought up by the horse's hooves was thrown at them, and into the mouth of the horse, and he spat out the mud, and was about to curse, when the horse turned around and ran back. Only then could you see the man on horse, with a tiger fur hat wrapped around his head, an axe pinned to his waist, and a thick rope wrapped around it. The man is very tall, sitting on a horse like a legendary beast, the only eye exposed is hung with hoarfrost, and he is full of murderous energy, which is very terrifying. His horse raced around them in circles, as if to trample them flat.

The man's gaze fell on the flower through the frost and snow, the horsewhip in his hand stretched out, and asked her in a deep voice, "What for?" Hua'er's eyes were wide open, and she looked innocent, and her gaze swept over his square head shoes with slush, and she couldn't see what was embroidered on them, but she was already frightened by the glimpse of last night, and her legs were weak, and she sat on the snow. Look up at him.

"Talk back."

The fright of the flowers came and went as fast as it came, at first it was really scared, and then it was pretended. His eyes were fixed on the horse's hooves, as if he was afraid that it would trample himself to death, and he looked stupid. She was really well dressed, her feet on the ground alternately and pedaling backwards, trying to get away from the horse, and her face was red from the cold with more anxiety. The eyes are innocent and fearful, and it is impossible to doubt.

Ah Yu and Fei Nu understood, and stood aside to explain to her: "This sister is poor, she was kicked by a horse when she was a child and fell ill, and she saw the horse like this." If you have anything to say, just ask us. ”

"I'm not clever, and when I am kicked by a horse, I become more and more stupid."

If the flowers hadn't encountered something rare, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been like this suddenly. They grew up together as children, and they guessed that there was something inside. Looking at the flowers again, it is almost impossible to say that she is stupid, the snowy weather is so cold that no one looks like her, and her face is so red that she is almost unable to see clearly, only the frightened and stupid eyes remain, blinking at the visitor.

The man withdrew his whip and rode slowly around the three of them for a few weeks before asking, "Do you see a man with a wound on his face?" ”

"No, I didn't." Ahhed. The man's injuries were unusual, and there was something wrong with them. When they left, they put him in a hut, but the man did not find his body.

The visitor looked at them a few more times, and then rode away. Hua'er breathed a sigh of relief, and told the two of them about last night's events, they frowned after listening, and asked Hua'er not to be a watchman, the little girl was powerless, it was too dangerous.

"In a few days, Grandma's decoction will be finished. The medicine is broken, and the grandmother will be out of breath, and she will suffocate to death at some point. Not only do you have to fight more, but you also have to do it during the day. The work that Fei Nu is looking for to go to the house in Xinzhi County is also considered. Hua'er sighed: "Originally, you could make a lot of money by doing needlework with the cicada, but now no one wants embroidery." ”

"The way of the world!"

They froze by the river for most of the day, and made small half-barrels of fish. When the night came, I went to find a safe place in the woods and set up a fire to roast some. The fire burned so loudly that this miserable world had nothing to do with it anyway. The women huddled together to grill the fire, and the men grilled the fish. The fish is already small, and it can be eaten after a few bites, Rao is so, and he can still feel the fragrance, which is ruthless.

"The Bai family's meat can't be eaten, and the rest is fed to the dogs and eagles." Fei Nu said: "It's more magnificent than being an official." ”

"You're interested in the Bai family." Zhao Ye patted him to make him sober up: "The Bai family's family didn't give it for nothing, they caught the thief and beat him to death, and then went to the city to bury him, and he didn't know it." I will pay more attention to the number of officials. Although the Bai family is said to be in business, how many officials are fed, so that the government will turn a blind eye to the silver. Not worth it. ”

"Let's find some work for the Bai family." Ah Yu proposed on the side: "I can eat enough and dress warmly." It is said that the person who entered the courtyard of the Bai family will be given a new set of clothes on the same day, and the servants can eat steamed buns, and they can also eat meat every few days. ”

"The Bai family is not easy to enter. The old housekeeper has a bright heart and a bright eye, knows everything, and is the trapdoor god of the Bai family. If you want to enter the Bai family as an errand, you must first pass his pass, and he is afraid that it will be a ghost gate. Many people tried to find a way to enter, but they were all stopped by him. The old man was a freak and couldn't handle it. ”

"Even if you don't go to the hospital, what if you do a temporary errand?"

"It's a temporary errand, but I can think of ideas. For example, a few days later, the Bai family gave Uncle Bai a funeral, saying that they were going to make a full scene, and there would be 100 people who cried and mourned. The wind just came out this morning, and if everyone is not unlucky, go and cry. Even at this point, Fei Nu was interested, and simply talked about the grievances between Bai Boss and Bai Er.

It is said that the two Bai Ye's parents died early, and they were both raised by the ancestors of the Bai family. Before the ancestor died, he divided the family wealth into two and asked them not to fight, but when they divided, they were biased, and the lifeblood of Yanzhuo City was given to Boss Bai; The wild land in the distance was given to Bai Lao Er, that is to say, if Bai Lao Er wanted a family business, he had to leave Yanzhuo City, which was equivalent to exile.

What about the second white child, who was obedient to his words on the surface, a smiling tiger, and ran away for three years, but he designed to kill the white boss. caught up with the new widow of the white boss, and there were no children under his knees, so these family fortunes fell back into his hands.

"So ruthless?" Others' eyes widened, the tiger poison still doesn't know the child, and the rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, the second white man actually killed his brother for the sake of family wealth, and his behavior is so bad that it is outrageous.

"Don't die well!" Xiao Ah Song suddenly said, obviously following behind the adults on weekdays, hearing who cursed whom. Hua'er hurriedly covered her mouth: "Little ancestor! Don't talk nonsense! If you want to scold in your heart, what should you do if you are heard? With a smiling face in front of people, and pretending to be in your heart for everything, you can live in this world, understand? Hua'er brought out the words that her grandmother taught her on weekdays to Xiao Ah Song.

"But Sister Hua'er still fought with Wu Xiucai in the autumn, saying that Wu Xiucai is a kind of talent, she has no ink on her chest, and she only knows how to bully girls." Xiao Ah Song was not convinced, and pouted: "Sister Hua'er said it, I can't say it, hum!" ”

Hua'er saw that the little guy was angry and went to coax her again. The days passed by, and the frozen fish was tightly wrapped and stuffed into the clothes and tied tightly. Before entering the city, Hua'er felt cold on her neck, and when she looked back, there was nothing, only the woods that she had just walked out of were open in the dark night.

"The second master said to kill, who did he kill? Have you figured it out? One asked softly.

"If I had understood, would they have a chance to get here?" The other replied softly.

"That's it, let's kill that talker!"

"Cheng, anyway, the second master likes to be clean."

After all, Yan laughed out loud behind their respective trees, and the finches on the branches were so frightened that they fluttered their wings and flew up.
