Chapter 171: Looking for Father

Listening to the old people in the village, this winter was the coldest winter they had encountered, and the snow fell one after another, and the snow in the mountains was waist-deep.

Xiao Wu is becoming more and more concerned, his skinny, sick and weak father, can he survive the cold winter on such a cold day, he is thin?

Xiao Wu decided to take the cotton robe that Aunt Chen asked her father to make, and follow Uncle Ji's ox cart into the city, she wanted to give the cotton robe to her father, and if possible, she also wanted to take him home.

The sky is rarely clear, and the sun shines on the snow, and the stinger can't open his eyes.

The ox cart passed by the village road, Xiao Wu and the villagers on the road, waving and greeting, when everyone knew, Xiao Wu went into the city to give his father cotton clothes, they all praised him, waved and smiled to send this sensible child.

"Xiao Wu, it's cold outside, come back early"

"Hey, got it"

"Xiao Wu, come back, go to Aunt Chen's house, Aunt Chen will make you noodles to eat"

"Okay, goodbye Aunt Chen"

“......”

No one knew that this wave of goodbye would be two years later.

When he arrived in Fengcheng City, he said goodbye to Uncle Ji, and Xiao Wu began to look for his father alone. She went from tavern to tavern and casino, and when she was really tired, she sat on the corner of the street, constantly looking around and searching in the bustling flow of people.

Thirty years ago, the first king of the Zhou Dynasty Wen Wang chose to build the capital in the pass "Fengyi", and later renamed "Fengcheng", the people have heard of the virtuous virtue of the king of Zhou, the whole family flocked from all directions, the population has surged year after year, the city has expanded and expanded, the merchant trade is prosperous, and the city is lively and prosperous.

Xiao Wu first comprehended the vastness of Fengcheng, in the past, her father brought her to perform arts, but it was only on the most prosperous Fengqi Street, Xiao Wu was the most careful about this street.

Dad seems to have disappeared, Xiao Wu didn't gain anything on the second day, the day was fine, but the night was the most difficult.

After two days of sunshine, it began to snow, and the goose feather snow fell from the sky, and after a while, the ground was covered with a thick layer, and the streets returned to calm at night.

There are only casinos, brothels and other places, and they are still very lively, Xiao Wu heard that there are casinos in the building, and I have mixed in to inquire about it during the day, but I was kicked out, I think it is too luxurious, and the nobles who come are all dressed in brocade robes, and my father is not able to enter such a place, but Xiao Wu does not give up, and wants to go and see.

This morning, she was chased away from the eaves where she slept by a large family of servants, and in order to prevent her from being treated as a beggar, she went and returned, and she watched as the servants deliberately poured water under the eaves sheltered from the wind, and she could no longer live there tonight.

The north wind was wrapped in snow particles, hitting her face and hurting, it was too cold tonight, she remembered, the gas emitted from the door of the building was full of heat, it was better to go to the door of the building, while waiting for her father, she could also borrow the heat, Xiao Wu was also afraid that she would be frozen to death at night.

Xiao Wu made up her mind, gathered the cotton robe on her body, tied the scarf tighter, rushed into the wind and snow, walked through the street, and hurried towards the flower building with strings of red lanterns hanging on the opposite side.

"Phew, Woo ......"

Xiao Wu felt a gust of wind rise, accompanied by the shout of "Hoo!huh!", she instinctively dodged to the side, her feet slipped, and the whole person fell to the ground, raised her head, stared and saw in horror, a frightened horse, the front hooves raised almost upright, if the front hooves fell, the fly trampled her inflated,

Xiao Wu hurriedly rolled twice on the spot and left under the horse's hooves.

"Phew!", the rider was dressed in fur, wasted his strength to feed, and held the reins to steady the horse.

The four horses in the back were not much better? The sound of people and horses was chaotic, but fortunately, no one fell off.

"Damn, I'm looking for death!"

The young man in the cloak glared at Xiao Wu angrily, looked at each other, and shouted with a curse, "What the fuck...... Do you want to kill the master? Look at me, I won't kill you," he said, and the whip came over.

Xiao Wu saw that it was a teenager of about fourteen or fifteen years old, she wanted to apologize, but looking at the posture in front of her, she was afraid that she would suffer a loss, or it was better to go, she rolled flexibly on the ground, not only dodged the whip, but also got up flexibly, ran away, and disappeared into the wind and snow after a while.

The boy was stunned, the whip was still held in the air, and the big-eyed girl was gone, and she was running too fast, how did she do it?

An entourage asked in a low voice: "Little Hou Ye, subordinates, go and arrest the one who caused trouble?"

The young man raised his hand to stop it, and shouted angrily in the direction of Xiao Wu's escape: "Hey, damn it, master, if something happens today, if you are lucky, I will spare you, if you let Xiao Ye meet again, I will kill you."

After the young man finished scolding, he galloped away with four entourage, stepping out of a snowy mist.

This young man's name is Zhou Jinnian, the only son-in-law of Zhou Youhou, the youngest brother of the former king, who was favored by his grandmother and pampered by his own side in the palace, and did not go to a distant and barren fief with his father.

Xiao Wu saw that the person had gone away, hid in the dark, took a long breath, turned around and walked towards the Drunken Flower Building.

Xiao Wu sat under the eaves of the building not far from the door, her eyes staring at the people coming in and out, from the beginning of the people coming and going, to the gradual entry and exit of fewer and fewer people.

Late at night, the snow was still sprinkled non-stop, the light of the strings of red lanterns reflected the surroundings in pink, and the passage in front of the building that had just been swept was paved with another layer of snow, and there were no footprints on it.

The silk music in the building is pleasant, the laughter is boiling, and the food is fragrant.

Xiao Wu's stomach was growling, and she remembered that she had only eaten one pancake today. When I didn't eat in my stomach, I felt even more cold, and my hands and feet were frozen, and I was almost unconscious.

Xiao Wu opened the burden and covered her father's cotton robe on her body, and suddenly felt a lot warmer. It was really sleepy, Xiao Wu got up and stomped her feet on the spot to make herself sober, she was forcing herself not to fall asleep on this snowy night, she was afraid that she would fall asleep, and she would never wake up again.

In the early morning of these two days, Xiao Wu will see that there is an old man pushing a cart, looking for people who were frozen to death at night, and the corpse was straight down to the car, and the car can be filled down a street.

Xiao Wu misses the master, if the master is here, the cotton robe can already be given to the father, the master is as omnipotent as a fairy, I really want the rabbit roasted by the master, the taste is a hundred times better than the food wafting out of the building, Xiao Wu swallowed her saliva, and waited for the master to burn the rabbit dripping with oil, and then finally burn it.

It smells so good!

The campfire is so hot and warm!

The master's gaze is so gentle!

Gradually, gradually...... Xiao Wu, who was already exhausted, still couldn't help but fall asleep......

When Xiao Wu woke up, she was in a trance for a while, moved her body, and felt that her whole body hurt like falling apart, and she was thirsty from the inside out, and she wanted to drink water.

"Erniang, the little girl is awake", a crisp voice entered Xiao Wu's eardrums.

Sun Erniang sat not far away, squinting at Xiao Wu with a crimson face, and asked lazily: "Wake up, little girl, what do you say?", how should this life-saving grace be calculated?"

Xiao Wu's eyes were a little blurry, she rubbed her eyes with her hands, and finally saw clearly that the fat woman in front of her was buying her father as a slave, kicking her father away when she was sick, and going to her house to force debts and blackmail, and --- Sun Erniang, the culprit who made her mother so angry that she vomited blood until she died.

Xiao Wu was hoarse and almost silent, stared at the big angry eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "It's you......? Take it away".

Sun Erniang didn't have a brain, on the contrary, she still had a good impression of this little girl, she had brains, hard bones, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed instead of anger.

"Hehe, I've disappointed you, Erniang, I'...... It's very hard, oh my God, you can't do anything about me, but you, almost, went to see Hades, I saved you, are you going to ...... How can you thank me?"

Next to Sun Erniang, there was a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old who blinked her black eyes and wore a pink dress, and spoke at this time.

"Yes, yes, little girl, you should thank Erniang, the night before yesterday, you were frozen, and then you had a high fever, if Erniang hadn't agreed to save you, you would have been frozen to death, why don't you come over quickly, kowtow to Erniang, thank you for saving your life?"

Xiao Wu hesitated and hesitated, and finally got out of bed with difficulty, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, raised his head and said bluntly: "Although, I don't think it's alive...... It's better than dead, but I'm still ...... I want to thank you, I still have it, a trace of Bodhisattva's heart, I have no money, and I won't stay here to pay off my debts, the evil you did to my family, today...... It's kind of repaid, we ...... Two clear".

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave, her spine was straight, and her face was resolute.

It's not that Xiao Wu doesn't know how to be grateful, she already hates Sun Erniang so much, if it weren't for her, her mother might not be able to die.

The wicked should be treated in the same way as others.

This is Zhen Xiaowu's value judgment, with evil against evil, cheeky scoundrel, if you don't have money, you want your life, if you don't believe in Sun Erniang, dare to ask for your own life.

pursed her lips and watched with slanted eyes, Xiao Wu who was like a little adult played for a long time, Sun Erniang stood up, circled around Xiao Wu, and spoke, "Heh, there is you, little girl, talk to ...... It's all for the old lady...... It's blocked."

"Humph!"

"Little girl, don't worry, it's useless for the old lady to leave you, it's just a waste of food. Besides, you were all sold to Qianfu by your bastard father, I'm afraid it won't take too long before you will be taken into Qianfu, that Qian master, but our big God of Wealth, how can the old lady offend the God of Wealth for you?"

"Hmph, that's the best, then I'...... Don't bother, take your leave"

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, she turned around to find the flute and her father's cotton robe, and saw the broken bamboo flute, but she didn't see the cotton robe, so she got up in a hurry.

"Where's my father's cotton robe?

The girl in the pink skirt pointed to a dirty robe on the ground and asked, "Is that the one you said?"

Xiao Wu hurriedly rushed over, picked it up, patted and patted it with pity, dusted it and dusted it again, hugged it in her arms, tears welled up in her eyes, she was afraid that her father would not have cotton clothes to wear, and he would not survive the cold winter and be coldly killed, afraid that he would be pulled away by a flatbed truck.

Sun Erniang's face was full of doubts, "Are you......? Whoever sent the cotton robe?".

Xiao Wu still couldn't hold back, tears fell down her eyes, "Yes, I've been looking for two days, and I haven't found my father at night, I'm afraid of ......."

Sun Erniang was in a trance for a moment, and then she seemed to be very angry, glanced at Xiao Wu, and said in a strange manner: "Hmph, Fengcheng is so big, just by you, it's not like looking for a needle in a haystack?" Peach Blossom, get her something to eat."

After Sun Erniang finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Wu, sighed, and swayed towards the door.

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then shouted at Sun Erniang's back: "Thank you...... Thank you!".

Sun Erniang really has great powers, and early on the morning of the third day, she brought the news that her father often haunts two small casinos on Liuxu Street in the south of the city.

After Xiao Wu heard this, she was about to leave immediately, but Sun Erniang did not stop her, and there was a look of confusion in the arrogant eyes she saw.

The men and women in the building are still dreaming of spring, and the building is quiet. Xiao Wu opened the door and walked out, her eyes were pierced by the brilliant sun, today is a sunny day.

It snowed heavily for two days, Xiao Wu didn't go out, only to find that there was snow everywhere, many shops and people had come out to clear the snow, the streets were lively, and the stalls were making breakfast vendors, which were steaming hot, and the breeze sent the fragrance of the buns far away.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
