The flowers couldn't sleep this night, and the body that took off a layer of mud was slippery and greasy, and the person was extremely light. I couldn't sleep, so I loved to think crankily, and finally thought that the flying slave had not returned. The flowers were worried about him and sighed one after another. I searched for it several times in and out of the city, but I couldn't find it. I also went to the city gate to inquire at night, and they all said that they had not seen the flying slave go out of the city.

Hua'er remembered that day in Baifu, Bai Qiling once said: Whoever killed the cat I want him to pay for his life. She was worried that there might be some kind of misunderstanding in this, could Bai Qiling really kill the flying slave like killing that person?

After all, she couldn't carry it alone, so she told Zhaoye, Ah Yu and Cicada about it. Shine reassured her: "Probably not." ”

"Why?" Flowers asked.

"If Second Master Bai really wants to kill him, he won't kill chickens and monkeys." Teriya truthfully said his thoughts: "Maybe the flying slave has always hidden something from us. If he comes back this time, we'll have to ask. At least we should be told where he is going in the future, not by us being left to worry about it. ”

Cicada looked at the flowers' hands on the side, and somehow, picked up a handkerchief to help her wipe it. Hua'er didn't know why, she said: You must have been frightened that day, but you didn't tell us about it. I'm afraid you still think it smells of blood, so I'll wipe it for you.

The cicada knows the flowers, if she can't bear it today, she won't say it. I may not have been so frightened by those nights that I was afraid that I would always think of my bloody hands.

They were so worried that no one wanted to go to Zhangluo for the New Year. On the contrary, it was the youngest little Ah Song, who pulled Hua'er's hand and coquettishly said: "Sister Hua'er, didn't you say that you want to make dumplings today?" He also said that he would take me to the pier to watch the fireworks at night, and that he would give me a small hairpin. ”

Ah Yu reprimanded on the side: "Ah Song, who wants you to ask Sister Hua'er for something?" ”

Hua'er grabbed Xiao Ah Song and shouted to Ah Yu: "What a murderer! I promise little Ah Song! We can't coax the little doll, right? Let's go, make dumplings, make good dishes, and let's have a good New Year. ”

While a few people were busy, there were always people who went to the alley to take a look, and I wondered if the flying slave who had left would come back. When eating dumplings, there were always people who went to investigate, but Feinu didn't come back.

They dragged Xiao Ah Song to watch the fireworks, and several people were silent, and the fire trees and silver flowers that exploded in the sky seemed to have nothing to do with them.

"Eighty percent is because the flying slave is not there, and this year is a little boring." Ah Yu said: "When the flying slave is there, it will be funny, more lively than fireworks. ”

"Eighty percent of the next year will only get more and more boring." For some reason, the cicada said this. Everyone thought that she had such feelings because of the lost third brother and the crazy Aunt Wang, but she looked at her deeply a few times at night.

"Yo! Isn't this the cicada of Wicker Alley? ”

When the fireworks dispersed, the son of the Wu family came up with a smile, followed by four or five thugs, blocking their way. These sons and brothers will laugh a few words when they see the cicada in the past, and their speech is not good, and they will generally get you to the house sooner or later to have fun; Or why don't you come to my house to enjoy the blessings and ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing. The cicada hated these people, but he didn't dare to argue, and often ran away.

She took a step back, took a step forward in the night, and said to the Wu family's son: "Wu Gongzi has a good New Year, please take a step." ”

"Where are you going? Bring me back to the house to play, and I'll send it back to you when you've had enough. Otherwise, no one will leave. The son of the Wu family dusted off his sleeves and waved his hand to the person behind him: "Why don't you go and ask for a cicada girl?" "This time it's going to be hard.

Teruya stepped forward again, and said in a solemn voice, "Get out of the way!" ”

"A poor servant, still want to block the way of this son? Call me. ”

Zhaoye received a punch from the other party first, and Ah Yu stood in front of the girl. Hua'er pushed him: "Go and help Brother Zhaoye!" He took the knife from his waist and held it up. She had experienced that feeling when she had pierced the man's thigh by the river, and when she remembered it several times in the future, she felt happy.

There was a fight in front, and the cicada didn't want to stand, so she found a stone and rushed up, and smashed the head of the family who was fighting with Zhaoye, and the family fell to the ground, and she suddenly had weak legs and fell into Zhaoye's arms.

There is not only one boy in Yanzhuo City who wants to play with cicadas, and the cicadas are haunted by the day on weekdays, and there are always people around, so they don't dare to act rashly in broad daylight, they only dare to be an eye addiction and a mouth addiction.

It's a good day, the fireworks are over, and there is a lot of chaos on the dock, and some people want to take advantage of the chaos to grab the cicadas. Zhaoye tightly guarded the cicada behind him, and someone with sharp eyes saw Hua'er and Xiao Ah Song, and shouted: "Catch them!" Catch them and replace them! ”

The world is chaotic, some people are doing evil, and no one dares to stand up and help. They were besieged by the wicked, and they knew that they could not escape today.

"The person who still said that he was Second Master Bai, is she? It's the people of the Bai family who are fighting! ”

On weekdays, he dares to be angry with Bai Qiling, but he has to sprinkle fire on the flowers on this day. Hua'er saw the person pounce on him and stabbed the man in the chest, and Ah Yu ran over again, and was surrounded by people in an instant. Little Ah Song hugged Hua'er's legs tightly and cried out in fear.

At this moment, Young Master Wu wailed and fell to the ground, with an arrow stuck in his chest. Blood was pouring from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were not closed.

Zhaoye was the first to react, rushed over and picked up Xiao Ah Song, and grabbed the cicada with the other hand: "Run!" Come on! ”

Ah Yu blocked the flowers, and several people looked for a way out in the screaming crowd. In a panic, the flower man rubbed shoulders, the man's eyebrows and eyes looked a little familiar, she turned back in horror, but the person had disappeared. The flower wanted to catch up, but was pulled by Ah Yu: "Hurry up!" ”

They ran to the door of Baiqiling's restaurant, the door opened, someone grabbed her in, and urged them: "Come forward!" ”

Everyone was frightened, and looked out of the window through the crack in the door and window, but it was already quiet outside. Hua'er stopped the humming general who grabbed her into the door and asked him in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know. The second master asked me to come here to get his jar of wine, who knew that this kind of thing would happen? ”

"Nonsense!" Hua'er scolded him for talking nonsense, but he couldn't find any evidence on the side. And the cicada was calmer than her, came to pull her away, and hugged her to comfort her.

Hua'er pushed away the cicada and looked at her: "Cicada, what do you know?" ”

"What can I know? What's wrong with you, flowers? ”

"No, cicada, no."

The flowers were pacing on the ground, and she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember anything. Someone molested the cicada and was shot. His companion was also shot. Someone is protecting the cicadas, or is someone protecting them?

"Go home, Hua'er, Grandma is still waiting for you." Ah Yu said: "You have been frightened again, and you need Grandma to give you a soul, otherwise you will have a fever tomorrow, and you will not be able to go to Liangqing in the second year of junior high school." ”

"Oh." The flowers answered and followed them home. trembling all the way, always worried about where a cold arrow would be released.

The consequences of this shooting were already visible, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, the lights in everyone's homes were blown out. They walked down the street with only the bright moon shining on the road, each indulging in their own thoughts.

Zhao Ye went to look for the hand of the cicada, she gently shook it off, he went to catch it again, and the cicada shook it off again. She begged softly: "Brother Zhaoye, forget it!" In the past, it was wrong to be a cicada, but in the future, we will still be like brothers and sisters. ”

"Cicada..."

Where was the cicada willing to listen to him again, and interrupted him by covering his ears: "Brother Zhaoye, listen to me!" There is no feast in the world, and in this troubled world, everyone is destined to go their separate ways. I don't want to get involved...", realizing that she had said the wrong thing, bit her lip.

"Involved? What's involved? Where? Zhaoye asked her painfully: "I don't care about Aunt Wang's affairs, I don't think it's a drag, and I don't want you to blame yourself." It wasn't your fault or mine that night, Cicada, we shouldn't blame ourselves..."

"I've been looking ahead." The cicada's gaze was firm: "I have already looked forward." Let's look forward to Brother Zhaoye! ”

After saying that, she ran away quickly, and Hua'er also pulled her legs to follow, she wanted to ask the cicada something, but the cicada didn't say anything, and when she got home, she locked the courtyard door and locked everyone out.

Cicada, cicada. Hua'er called her: You can tell me, did Bai Lao Er force you to do something, do you know something? Don't be afraid, you tell me, let's think about it together. I have a very good way to deal with that white dick.

It took a long time for the cicada to answer her in the door: "Hua'er, it's not the second master Bai you have to deal with, it's not the second master Bai that we have to deal with." What we have to deal with is this bad world, this cannibalistic world. She cried: "The third brother can't come back, and I can't go back." ”

Hua'er stood outside the door, she had never been locked out of the door by the cicada. For a moment, she didn't know what else to say, and the cries of the cicadas came intermittently, and she could only listen.

What world is it against? Who is she? Why should she fight against this world?

When Hua'er returned home, she snuggled into her grandmother's arms, and she said to her grandmother, "Grandma, there is a dead person on the dock."

Grandma patted her head and said to her: People and ghosts go together, the world is in chaos, the world is in chaos.

"I'm scared, Grandma."

"Don't be afraid, Grandma will take you home."

The flowers fell asleep in chaos, and in her sleep she vaguely heard a noise outside, and she only thought that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the night wind was strong, blowing the heavens and the earth shook. The next day, when she opened the door, she saw a small snowman piled up on the broken table in the courtyard, and the snowman had a red cloth bag hanging around its neck.

Legend has it that there is a strange nunnery on Huoling Mountain, and the strange nunnery asks for peace and marriage. It's just that the wild beasts in the mountains are rampant, and there are gods and ghosts, and those who go will lose half their lives.

The flowers pinched the peace charm she had begged for in the hermitage, and tears fell down her eyes. She knew that the Flying Slave would probably not come back.
