Stone Well Lane.

The oil lamp illuminates the room, the back of the paper window sways like a shadow puppet show, the hungry Li Daniu in the house is complaining about the food, Xu Xian is absent-minded in eating, and because Xu Jiaorong, the only one who can cook, comes home too late, causing the two big men to suffer from their stomachs.

"Madam~ What are you doing standing at the gate?"

"You eat first, I'll stand at the door for a while~"

Li Da Niu seemed to be muttering that he couldn't eat the food he cooked, Xu Jiaorong didn't care about his own man, Niu didn't care whether the food was good or not, as long as there was grass to eat.

The weather was hot but I didn't dare to open the window, I couldn't stand the mosquitoes when I opened the window, and the screen tent could prevent insects, but it was too expensive to buy.

Mosquito coils were lit in the house, and Xu Xian was occasionally choked and coughed once or twice.

The paper window sprinkled with pale yellow candlelight, illuminating Xu Jiaorong, who was nervous at the gate, she didn't dare to tell her family about the monster, some things are nothing if you don't pick them up, once they are broken, they can't turn back, for the sake of her brother, she is willing to carry everything.

Not long after, a tower-like figure came in the distance.

"Master...... Did you stop the banshee?"

"I'm sorry, I can't. ”

Xu Jiaorong was stunned for a moment, in her opinion, Jinshan Academy was an omnipotent immortal, how could this be......

"How is this a good ......?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, although that woman is a demon, she is still measured, and she will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and the future will ...... I'll talk about that later. ”

"This ......"

"Farewell. ”

The warrior monk turned around and left, his steps were a little vague accompanied by a coughing sound, Xu Jiaorong raised his hand and still couldn't speak, watching the tired figure walk under the lanterns, turning the corner of the street in a flickering light.

The yellow dog next door is whining and barking.

Xu Jiaorong closed the door and went home with a heart, and did not say anything about the goblin.

......

It was another cloudy and sunny day.

The waterway at the entrance reflects the blue sky and white clouds, Suzhou and Hangzhou prosper in a unique way, the streets are connected by the river, the streets and bridges are connected, the houses are built by the river, the alleys are full of people coming and going, the traders carrying the burden are selling along the street, and the boats are loaded with fruits and vegetables and pass slowly.

Bai Yu called an old woman who was selling black rice balls and bought a few black rice balls.

A very interesting snack, made of straw woven into a jar shape about the size of a rice bowl, filled with fragrant black and black black cakes, which is very suitable for holding in your hand and sitting on the threshold to taste.

Give the next door Takesen Temple a combination of some tastings.

Listening to Grandma's accent is not like the locals, and a strong local accent can't be changed for many years.

"Grandma, you're a foreigner. ”

"The girl has good eyesight, the old woman fled the famine more than ten years ago to make a living here, in those years, there was a drought at home, the family fled to come, the wife did not stand up on the road and left first, and the son and daughter-in-law worked in the workshop to make money......"

The old grandmother may have not spoken for a long time, Bai Yu sat on the threshold and listened, looked at the suffering of ordinary people in the world, and tried to remember that she seemed to have been a human being.

The old man talked a lot, full of calluses, and his palms were dry, and he didn't tidy up the old white clothes at once.

His arms are only skinny and bones, and he doesn't know how to carry the burden.

Most of the ordinary people are very thin, the so-called prosperous era is just to have a full bite of food to eat, there is food and shelter, as for whether the people have meat to eat and salt to eat, it is not in the consideration of the elite class, when they are full, they have the strength to easily breed ideas, and when they are hungry, they are good and think about how to grow food and keep themselves safe.

The journey to escape from the famine is arduous, and who is willing to leave their hometown to beg for food in other places.

Ordinary people can't withstand floods and droughts at all, even if the bandits can't stand it, even if the imperial court arranges for food to be delivered, it's useless, profiteers, landlords, corrupt officials and corrupt officials take the opportunity to raise prices comparable to pearls, and if they want to scrape the last layer of oil and water off the poor, it is better to flee.

In the distance, Xu Jiaorong looked haggard at the demon girl chatting with the old grandmother......

It didn't take long for the old woman who sold black rice balls to continue to sell with her burden, the burden was much easier, a certain white and the master and apprentice ate a lot of black rice balls, and the snake demon boy ran to catch frogs to eat, and the boy didn't like to eat rice grain.

Bai Yu did business on the threshold, and he didn't notice the black glutinous rice on the corner of his mouth, and looked behind a certain willow tree.

The woman had seen her many times lately, and it seemed like something was wrong.

didn't wait too long, Xu Jiaorong walked towards the shop almost pale, she didn't sleep well last night, her face was haggard, her eyes were dark, although she was afraid, she still firmly went to talk to the banshee, for an ordinary ordinary woman, it can be regarded as a generous death, no one wants to have any intersection with the legendary monster, especially face to face.

A certain Bai, who was holding a small straw basket and eating black cakes, felt that the light was a little dim, looked up, and immediately knew that it was Xu Xian's family.

Don't ask why you know, people who live in a courtyard will inevitably string each other's smells, and that smell will never be mistaken, it seems that it should be the legendary Sister Xu Xian.

“......”

Facing the goblin for the first time, Xu Jiaorong opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Looking for me?"

Xu Jiaorong nodded, seeing that the goblin with a few grains of rice on the corner of her mouth relaxed a lot for no reason, at least she wasn't so afraid.

Bai Yu got up and went into the shop, licked off the rice grains with her little tongue and ate them, and after entering the house, she sat on the chair she usually sat on and pointed to the wooden chair opposite.

"Sit casually, sorry it's a bit messy in the room. ”

Xu Jiaorong, who followed into the house, began to think that she had entered the demon cave, imagining that the house was full of blood and stumps and broken arms, and even the legendary human flesh buns, don't ask why you think so, whether the storyteller or the legend says so, demons eat people and use human blood to make blood tofu......

What I didn't expect was that the shop was very fresh, full of light, and there were some paintings on the table and walls.

Xu Jiaorong has never read a book and doesn't know how to appreciate paintings, but she feels that these paintings are really good-looking, even better than the ones Li Daniu picked up from the yamen.

The two hands were twisted together, the knuckles turned white, he gritted his teeth, and knelt down with a pop.

The corners of Bai Yu's eyebrows moved to help her up, she really didn't like to kneel down at every turn, and such degrading behavior had already been forcibly abolished in the territory.

Xu Jiaorong refused the kindness.

"Girl...... Let me kneel, and promise me one thing...... How are ......."

“......”

Very speechless, this is a seemingly weak but actually fierce woman, Bai Yu feels that since she is willing to kneel, then kneel well, it's a big deal to be biased, besides, it makes sense for a little doll in her twenties to bow down to herself as an eight-hundred-year-old existence, alas, she always thinks a lot when she is older.

"Tell me about it, do your best if you can. ”

Bai Yu probably guessed the reason.

Xu Jiaorong, who was kneeling on the ground, may have let go after being frightened, and cried with tears.

"I know, girl, you're a good ...... People, my Hanwen is a stubborn temper who recognizes things and can't pull back ten cows, my father and mother left early, and I have suffered a lot over the years, I just hope that my younger brother can start a family and start a family in peace, marry a wife and have children......"

"But ......"

"You guys really don't fit...... Please, girl...... Is it good to reject my family's Chinese......"

Hearing this, Bai Yu was speechless.

"I'm fine myself, I didn't think about the whole moth. ”
