Song Zhi raised his head timidly and looked at the Broken Goose Gate standing on the top of the mountain.

The clouds are steaming high above the mountain peaks, obscuring the majestic buildings that resemble the heavenly palace. There is also a jade belt on the mountainside, and the Qingchuan River is a thousand turns. Compared with the simple and deserted mountains and rivers of their Cangshi City, the scenery here is more dazzling and gorgeous surrounded by pearls and greenery.

Song Zhiti didn't know how to describe it, and vaguely remembered that Song Huiya had casually said a word, what clock and what show. Racking his brains, he helped the woman push the bamboo basket in the back and help her up the mountain.

Because the woman's feet were slow and the road up the mountain was paved, even though Song Zhiti was a monkey jumping up and down and full of energy, he climbed for an hour, and he was covered with hot sweat.

When the two of them were climbing the mountain hard, from time to time there were strong men carrying goods passing by. When the last person in the team appeared leisurely and empty-handed, Song Zhiti immediately recognized it - it was the young man who was making things difficult for himself in the rice shop today.

It was brought rice from the mountain.

Seeing that the man had taken the first step to talk to the disciple guarding the door, the woman pulled Song Zhi timidly to sit down and rest for the time being.

Her wheezing sounded like she was struggling to come out of an old bellows, dull and short, and the occasional cough felt like it was draining the air from her chest, and her speech naturally became indistinct.

Song Zhiti took the initiative to put his ear on it, and after listening to it twice, he understood that she was saying, "You go back first." Thank you so much for today. ”

Song Zhi glanced at the sky timidly, and felt that it was not good, but he was not too afraid, about this is the confidence that her master said.

She's doing good! How could Song Huiya punish her?

"You're welcome, auntie."

She changed her posture and looked at the mountain gate with a smile, looking at the lively interest.

The young man had not noticed the two of them at first, but had probably caught a glimpse of their clothes and had removed them from his eyes. Full of satisfaction and full attention, they all looked at the disciple who was guarding the mountain.

Before he got closer, he had already bent down three steps away, looking like a slave, with a flattering smile, and saluted each other with his fists folded. got an almost imperceptible nod in response.

When the disciple turned around to inspect the rice bag that had been sent, the man followed the strong gaze behind him and glanced back.

Song Zhi sat timidly in the lower place, looking at him with a smile, showing his white teeth, and there was an almost naked^ mockery and contempt in his eyes.

The man's smile was still half on his face, and his face trembled when he saw this, and he was actually seen by a child who felt embarrassed. He unconsciously tugged at his cuffs, lifted his drooping neck a little, and gave her a vicious look.

Song Zhi turned a blind eye, half-drooping his eyelids, his eyes flashed, he raised his hand to tear the dry skin on his lips, and the bad water in his stomach was rising, and after a while, he turned his head to the woman next to him and said, "Auntie, can you borrow your handkerchief?" I'll give it back to you when I get back and wash it. ”

"I've used it." The woman was a little embarrassed, but took out a square handkerchief.

Song Zhiti took it with both hands upright, wiped his sweat against his forehead, and looked gentle and elegant, but these actions were really a bit nondescript when she did them.

The young guy on the opposite side couldn't help laughing, laughed twice wantonly, and then said disdainfully: "A ninth-rate cheap skin, he also learns from others to be vassal!" The wild monkeys in the mountains are more like a scholar than you. ”

With the arrogance of being high, he squinted at Song Zhiti, and asked in a pinch tone: "Do you know what vassal elegance is?" ”

Obviously proud to be able to use that word.

Song Zhi didn't show embarrassment or embarrassment as he expected, but folded the veil squarely, hung it around his waist, greeted him one by one, and turned around and walked down the mountain.

The guy snorted boringly.

Song Zhiti walked out for a while, and saw that the guy didn't follow, so he trotted down. On the way, he found a narrow and high corner of a stone staircase, took out a bracelet made of grass beads from his bosom, tore off the string and sprinkled a few on the ground, and then covered the handkerchief.

When she was done, she went down and found a place to sit quietly.

After a while, the disciple of the gate counted today's goods and paid the man the money.

The man weighed the weight of the bag, his heart couldn't help but sink, the corners of his lips that were stiff with a smile twitched twice with his muscles, and he still politely said goodbye to people on his face. turned his back, walked quickly to no one's place, and did not give up on most of the two times, and found that at least half was missing, and couldn't help but curse.

"!"

After the man finished speaking, he was immediately silent, his lips opened and closed, and he only dared to curse silently, and when he walked halfway, he saw the handkerchief that fell on the ground, and he couldn't help but be angry, and stepped on it heavily. Immediately, the sky swirled, his head and feet fell down, rolled down the stone steps, and fell into seven meat and eight vegetables, which was tragic, only felt that the bones were cracked a few times, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Song Zhiti heard the screams of wailing and the sound of heavy objects rolling down, and covered his mouth and snickered. wiped the corners of his tearful eyes, and then left satisfied.

As soon as he took two steps, the back collar suddenly tightened, and he was lifted up in the air.

Song Zhi was frightened and struggled, and when he turned around and saw that it was Song Huiya, his eyebrows stretched in an instant, and he shouted in surprise: "Master! ”

Seeing that Song Huiya's face was not good, he put away his smile a little bit, and he was at a loss.

Song Huiya put her down and walked silently up the mountain road.

Song Zhi didn't understand what he had done wrong, so he followed behind step by step, and a bunch of words wanted to say back and forth on his lips.

The man lay on his side, weeping in pain, and the wolf howled.

Song Huiya clicked two acupuncture points on him to relieve his pain, and said, "I'll help you call the porter at the bottom of the mountain to come up and send you to the doctor." ”

The guy was a little delirious and nodded his head haphazardly.

"He ......" Song Zhi twitched his fingers, his heart was empty, and he couldn't help but defend himself, "He fell down by himself, no wonder me!" ”

Song Huiya turned a deaf ear, picked up the square handkerchief on the side, patted the dust and stuffed it into his arms.

I happened to meet a woman carrying a bamboo basket down the stairs.

Song Zhiti seemed to see his parents again, and couldn't wait to shout: "Auntie! ”

She pointed to the woman and quickly complained: "Master, I haven't gone back to help that lady!" It's not like it's here! ”

She ran quickly towards the woman, but as soon as she arrived, the woman rolled her eyes and was about to fall down on her.

"Ahhh

Song Zhi couldn't hold up such a big person, so he shouted and jumped away. Fortunately, Song Huiya fished it out in time, dragged the other party's waist, and flattened the person on the ground.

The woman opened her eyes tremblingly, unable to speak.

Song Huiya said: "You help her down." ”

Hearing that she finally spoke, Song Zhiti should have heard something natural, and responded eagerly: "I know Master!" ”

Song Huiya reached out to pick up the bamboo basket behind the woman, but when he carried it for the first time, he didn't pick it up directly. With a suspicious sound, it took some force to untie the bamboo basket from the woman's back.

The mouth of the basket was covered with a layer of heavy bedding, Song Huiya lowered his eyes and looked at it, feeling a faint rancid smell, and raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to lift a corner of it.

Out of nowhere, the weakened woman burst out of strength and pounced, her bony hands clutching the bedding.

"Don't open it! Be careful with the wind, beware of catching a cold......" The woman muttered two sentences, the last few words half swallowed and half spit out, and she couldn't make a difference, "I'll do it myself." Thank you, thank you, girl. ”

Song Huiya picked up the bamboo basket with one hand, easily carried it behind him, and said with relief: "No need, I'll just come." Knowing timidity, help her. ”

Song Zhi riveted the person timidly, supported her with his body, and said with difficulty: "Auntie, why did you come down so quickly, didn't you say that you went to the mountains to find someone?" ”

Unloading the burden, the woman returned some strength in her hands and feet, straightened her body slightly, and her eyes were still chasing the bamboo basket for a moment, and she replied slowly: "They won't let me in." ”

Song Huiya asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

On the way here, Song Zhiti had already asked twice, and replied: "She came to find her family Langjun." Right, auntie? ”

At the mention of these questions, the woman's brain became muddy, as if she was a little unmoving, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Yes, my family Langjun is also a porter in Broken Yanshan, and he went out to borrow money, and he hasn't returned home for several days. ”

Song Zhiti also saw some clues, raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and asked, "Auntie, are you okay?" Did you hit your head? ”

The woman then touched the back of her head and said, "No." It doesn't hurt. ”

Song Zhi shut up timidly, feeling a little depressed, only to find that he had been wandering around with a madman for a morning.

But in the morning, the woman was clear that she had not yet committed this madness, and that she was able to speak clearly. Why is it that after a person stays in the mountains for a while, his brain is not normal?

On the way, the woman kept talking in a daze. When he arrived at the door, he came to his senses again. Stepping over the threshold with one foot, pressing the bamboo door with one hand, he stood still in place for a while, turned around and said without a word: "My son was slapped some time ago, and then he became ill. They think my son is bullying people, my son is so young, usually timid like a mouse, how can he bully people? He just saw the little girl sitting on the ground alone crying, and felt pitiful, so he went over to help her. It was a big guy we don't usually meet. When I went up the mountain, I wanted to ask him, why did you beat me? In this world, there should always be some reasoning, right? ”

After saying this, she began to become illogical and upside-down again.

"He's about the same age as this girl...... At night, he cried by my clothes, saying that he had made no mistakes, and that he was sorry for me. It's my fault, I shouldn't have taken him to the fair. ”

Song Zhi snorted timidly, carefully peeking at the master's expression, feeling that he could empathize with it a little.

Song Huiya pushed her into the house and carefully put down the bamboo basket. The woman followed her, her eyes wandering, and her voice became softer and softer: "He said that his ear hurts, and his ear is bleeding a lot, but we only got someone to borrow money the next day." I drank the medicine and vomited...... No, after drinking the medicine, it will be fine. Yes, it will be fine as soon as you drink the medicine. ”

The woman clapped her hands and said abruptly, "I'm going to cook, let's stay for a meal." ”

Song Huiya refused: "No need." There are still people in the house. ”

After that, he took the apprentice's hand and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

Walking a foot away, Song Zhi timidly turned back and found that the woman was still leaning against the door and watching them, and waved at them with a smile.

Song Zhi was scared and had goosebumps.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that there's an indescribable chill.

When he turned into his own door, Song Zhiti closed the door as soon as possible, squinted his eyes, and looked at the woman's house through the crack in the door.

Song Huiya walked to the table, with an obscure expression, picked up the tea he boiled last night, and drank two cups in silence.

"Master......"

Song Zhi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her attitude, thinking that she was angry with herself, she stood cramped by the wall with her hands behind her back, turned her eyes around, went over to pick up a broom, walked over with both hands raised and asked, "Do you want to hit me?" ”

The old man laughed "heh" on the side, and said cool words: "Your master was not starved to death in this house, it can be regarded as your filial piety as an apprentice." ”

Song Huiya put down the cup, let out a long breath, and asked, "Why do you think I'm angry?" ”

Song Zhiti raised his hands sorely, and there was no problem with reflection, so he replied: "Because I ...... Bullying? ”

Song Huiya smiled and asked in a cold voice, "You think you're smart, don't you?" ”

The child shook his head vigorously with a sense of fear.

Song Huiya took out a square handkerchief and put it on the table, his voice was cold, and he trembled slightly with anger: "I didn't want to tell you, because I think that matter should have nothing to do with you, it is not your original intention, nor does it have anything to do with your good and evil, and you don't have to bear a debt of life and death." But I warned you not to be clever, you don't seem to take it seriously. ”

The child listened with his mouth open, trembling.

Song Huiya asked: "Before leaving Cangshi City, I made you kowtow to a place three times, why do you think it is?" ”

Song Zhiti's face turned pale with fright. The old man also sensed that something was wrong, packed up his knife, and silently entered the house to avoid the war.

"The quackler who kidnapped you, found the inn outside the village, and asked the guys inside about you. That guy thought you had caused a big disaster, and deliberately concealed it for you, which ended up attracting the murderous intent of the martial artist. In the final analysis, you and I have a share in his death. ”

Song Huiya saw that she was holding back her crying, crying sadly, her mood calmed down a little, and she slowed down her speech, but the wording was still harsh.

"Song Zhiti, the rivers and lakes are like this, the wind and waves are vicious, not everyone is willing to reason with you. You don't have anything, you don't know anything, you can only be an ant in the palm of someone's hand. They can kill you with a finger. Do you think you can rely on these small means to give yourself a bad breath and feel happy? But if today's young man is ruthless, or has a grudge like you, he has to find someone to vent. You may have a big life, and you can't do anything with me. The woman on the other side will suffer for you in vain. If it is true today, it may be someone else tomorrow. If you can't fix this problem, I advise you to stay away from me as soon as possible! I don't want to follow your ass every day and collect corpses for you! ”

Song Zhi knelt down timidly and hugged her legs, crying heartbreakingly: "I was wrong! I'll change! I'll definitely change it! Master, I didn't mean to, I just didn't think about it that much! ”

The old man walked out with a knife, couldn't see it, and said quietly: "If you're in a bad mood, what's the anger at a child?" You're not as good as her. ”

Song Zhi wiped his tears timidly, and couldn't cry: "My master taught me, don't, don't care about me!" ”

The old man was bored, and laughed angrily: "Ghost girl with no heart." ”

Song Huiya touched the apprentice's head, and saw that she was sincerely repentant, and she was also distressed by her crying, and sighed: "Get up." ”

Song Zhi was still kneeling and refused to let go. Song Huiya raised her foot to break away, and she got up slowly.
