When the wind blew, the lark stopped singing, and even the lily had to accept the arrangement of fate in obedience.

A little girl was bent over to fetch water from a large shared well to the east of Zezhuang, and although there was a well in her home, her vicious aunt was still willing to let her go out to fetch water.

She was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, very thin, so thin that she was almost ugly, and her expression was a little clumsy, and there was nothing to be seen, except for a pair of eyes that might be beautiful.

When looking at people, there is always an aura that does not know how to avoid suspicion, and is not so pleasing and likable. Dressed in coarse cloth plain clothes, dressed like an old woman and a child.

The little girl struggled to pull out the wooden bucket full of water, and then walked roughly ten steps with the bucket, but the bucket was too full, and she was only a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, and she did not have much strength.

The girl swayed from side to side with the barrel in both hands, and everyone in the barrel swayed out and soaked her clothes.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the barrel was not heavy at all, and a hand appeared in front of her eyes, which looked rather thick and powerful, and easily lifted it by grasping the bucket.

She couldn't help but look up, and saw a tall figure, which looked extraordinarily tall against the background of the setting sun.

"Thank you, uncle!" said the little girl, thanking.

"Hahaha. I heard the tall figure say, "What a polite little girl." ”

"But I'm still very young, don't call me uncle, call me brother!"

The little girl was very obedient and changed her words and said, "Thank you, brother!"

The tall man stretched out his other hand and gently touched the girl's little head, and said, "That's good." ”

"What about the adults in your family, why did you ask a little girl to come out to work?"

The little girl followed the tall figure and said, "My uncle and aunt are at home, and they said that my father didn't give me enough money, so they let me work, saying that it was to pay off my debts." ”

"That's right. The man asked, "Then why don't you go with your father and suffer at your aunt's house?" ”

"Daddy told me that the place he was going to was dangerous, so he handed me over to my aunt and uncle. The little girl said.

"Hmm......" the man paused and said, "By the way, what's your name, little girl?"

"My name is Arry. The little girl said.

"And what's your full name?"

Hearing this, Ah Rui said, "Duanmurui, what is your name, brother?"

"My brother's name is Sun Wuyang. ”

"Brother Wuyang......"

"Hey, the little mouth is so sweet, it's like honey. Sun Wuyang said with a smile.

Arry smiled, then said, "Turn left ahead." ”

"Oh, okay. ”

"Ah Rui, where is your mother?" asked Sun Wuyang.

Ah Rui's expression darkened, and then she said, "She ran away from home when I was very young. ”

Sun Wuyang rubbed Ah Rui's little head and said, "Then do you want your mother?"

"I don't want to. Ah Rui was expressionless, and couldn't see whether it was sadness or something else, and said silently.

"Huh?" Sun Wuyang was a little surprised, so he asked, "Why?"

"I'm gone, what should my dad do?" Ah Rui looked into the distance and said, "I can't go far away from my dad anymore." ”

"Forehead ......"

Sun Wuyang wanted to tell her that her father had lived comfortably in Muddy City before, until he met him, or he would have forgotten about her, but Sun Wuyang couldn't say that, he was afraid that Ah Rui wouldn't be able to bear the blow she shouldn't have at her age.

After thinking about it, Sun Wuyang still took out Duanmu Yuanbai's favorite jade pendant and put it in front of Ah Rui's eyes.

Ah Rui looked at the jade pendant swaying from side to side in front of him, and then said in surprise: "How can you have my father's jade pendant?!"

"Your father is going to a distant place, and he is going to stay there for a while, and this time is quite long, so he asks me to take you to your mother. "Sun Wuyang told a lie, but he was also forced to tell Ah Rui, saying that your father was killed by me, right?

"Really?" said Arry, a little suspicious.

Sun Wuyang's eyes glared at him when he heard this, and he said, "Of course, you see that your brother's eyes are so pure, how can he be a liar?"

"Besides, your father's jade pendant is here, what else do you have to doubt?"

"It's ...... too," Ah Rui thought for a while and said, "Okay, but are we going to talk to the uncle and aunt?"

"Well, good. Sun Wuyang said: "I will tell them well." ”

Not long after, Sun Wuyang and A Rui came to her uncle's house, and after knocking on the Zhu door three times, they heard someone inside: "Come!"

This voice sounds like the voice of a standard antagonist, and it must be an extremely difficult master.

As soon as the door opened, a head poked out, and sure enough, it was a snarky face, only to hear the woman say, "Who are you, who are you looking for?"

"In Xia Sun Wuyang, he was entrusted by the Duanmu City Lord to pick up Ah Rui. Sun Wuyang said very politely.

As soon as the words fell, I heard the woman say in a loud voice: "Xianggong, come quickly!"

A man in the room said, "What's going on?"

After a while, a man's head poked out, and the man said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Then his eyes flickered to see Ah Rui standing behind Sun Wuyang, and then said, "Xiao Rui, what are you doing hiding behind, come here." ”

Sun Wuyang stood in front of Ah Rui and said, "In the next Sun Wuyang, he was entrusted by the Duanmu City Lord to pick up Ah Rui. ”

When the man heard this, he said to his wife: "That's a good thing, wow, you just let him take it away, why do you want me to do it." ”

I heard the woman say with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "Oh, he just took Xiaorui away like this, so who do we want for the money we spent on her?"

"It's Xiaorui. Duanmu Yangbai, the brother of the city lord whispered in his wife's ear.

Duanmu Yangbai's wife was stunned for a moment, and then asked hesitantly, "Is it?"

"You just took Xiaorui away, so what can we do with the money we spent on her?"

Duanmuyang's white-collar collar also echoed on the side: "Yes, yes." ”

Sun Wuyang immediately understood the couple's intentions, and then said: "You just say a price, as long as I take Ah Rui away, any conditions can be considered." ”

Duanmu Yangbai's wife immediately smiled when she heard this, opened the door and invited Sun Wuyang to come into the house to talk. Sun Wuyang walked into the courtyard, put down the bucket, and pulled Ah Rui into the room and sat down.

I saw Duanmu Yangbai's wife pull Ah Rui into her arms and said: "Ah Rui is a treasure in the palm of our hand in our family, she is a pearl, she is like a bright moon, no matter how precious a gem is, it can't compare to this niece of mine." ”

"How can you say anything priceless, this is an insult to our husband and wife!"

"Talk about money and bury Xiaorui. ”

"Little Rui. Duanmu Yangbai reminded in a low voice on the side.

"Little Rui. Duanmu Yangbai's wife hurriedly changed her words, and then continued: "We have paid everything for this precious niece, even if we drink soup, we have to give Xiaorui a bite of meat to eat, and it is like our own to her." ”

"Treat it as your own, Your Excellency!"

Sun Wuyang looked at the couple's clumsy performance, and didn't show anything, just said: "I believe you." ”

"Let's not talk about these useless things, and don't talk about any feelings. Sun Wuyang took out a gold bar and put it on the table, and then said, "Do you think this will work?"

The woman excitedly picked up the gold bar from Table Mountain to test the authenticity, and at this time Duanmu Yangbai couldn't sit still, so she heard him say: "This price is about ......."

"But Rui has been frail and sick from the bottom, and this cutie likes to spend money. Duanmu Yangbai hugged Ah Rui and said: "Your Excellency, you also know that the price of medicine is higher than the sky in this year, it's not that I'm greedy for that money, this is what we should do." ”

"What kind of bicycle do you want?"

Sun Wuyang rolled his eyes, took out two more gold bars, and threw them on the ground. Duanmu Yangbai suddenly fell to the ground with a gold bar in his hand regardless of his image, just like the hungry dog who hadn't eaten for several meals saw fresh, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ah Rui lost control and hurriedly ran to Sun Wuyang. Sun Wuyang held A Rui by the hand and said to Duanmu Yangbai and his wife: "Thank you for forbearing the pain of cutting your love." ”

"Rui, say goodbye to them. ”

"Goodbye, auntie!" said A-Rui.

"Uh-huh. Duanmu Yangbai and his wife said: "Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye......"

"Let's go. ”

Sun Wuyang took Ah Rui out of Duanmu Yangbai's house, and the good brother of the lord of the city of Chao was at home with his daughter-in-law rejoicing in this sudden wealth.

When he came to the entrance of the village, Ping He'an had been waiting for a long time, Sun Wuyang carried Ah Rui into the carriage of the carriage, and Heping He'an sat in front of the carriage and said, "Let's go, go to Tianyu Mountain." ”

Then he leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, but after a long time, he still felt that the carriage had not moved, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was indeed the case, so Sun Wuyang asked, "Why don't you leave?"

"I don't know the way, I haven't heard of the name of Tianyu Mountain. Ping Hean said.

"Coincidentally, I don't know where Tianyu Mountain is. Sun Wuyang said with a frown.

Ping He'an asked: "What can I do about this, I don't even know how to walk, how to get to Tianyu Mountain?"

Sun Wuyang leaned his head against the carriage and asked Ah Rui inside, "Ah Rui, do you know Tianyu Mountain?"

The little girl leaned out of the carriage and said, "I don't know ......."

"Okay, I'll go down and ask. ”

Sun Wuyang jumped out of the carriage and came to the square where the crowd gathered, and asked everyone, "Everyone, do you know where Tianyu Mountain is?"

"Tianyu Mountain?" said an older man, "I haven't heard of this place name, so it shouldn't be the mountain here." ”

"That's not right, Duanmu Yuanbai said that it's not far from Hun City, how can no one have heard of it?"

This can stump Sun Wuyang, I don't know the destination, what can I do?
