In the early morning mist, a fast horse left the dust under the Forgotten Worry Mountain.

After traveling for half a day, Zhu'an arrived at Fanzhou Town, where Forget Worry Mountain belongs.

The town is bustling, people come and go, and it is very lively, which is a different scenery from the tranquility of the mountains in the forgotten worries.

As soon as he entered the city, he dismounted and held the reins, and when he passed a tea shed, a tea girl greeted him warmly: "What a handsome young man, do you want to come in and have a cup of tea?"

Zhu'an happened to be a little thirsty, tied the horse into the tea shed and found an empty table to sit down, and the tea girl served a pot of tea with her hands and feet.

Zhu'an politely asked, "Can you ask the store about something?" ”

The tea girl replied enthusiastically: "Just ask!"

Zhu An pondered and asked, "Have you ever heard of General Huwei?"

The tea girl was stunned, but she didn't expect him to want to inquire about this, and thought for a while: "General Huwei, I haven't heard this name for many years, I want to think about it...... Oh, do you mean the general surnamed Lin?"

Zhu'an nodded.

"That general, I remember! he died fifteen or sixteen years ago!"

"Killed in battle?"

The tea girl gestured: "Yes, in the northwest frontier, fighting with those barbarians who are so tall, so strong, and very fierce, the reinforcements are too late! That general has already died in battle! When the news came, my father was very sorry for the death of a good general, and burned some paper money outside the door to worship!"

The tea girl asked curiously: "But that was more than ten years ago, why did the little boy ask this?"

The tea girl suddenly felt that the eyes of the little boy in front of her were a little cold and piercing, but when she looked closely, she had a gentle smile, as if she was dazzled.

Zhu'an politely replied: "Home...... My father had served as a soldier under this general before, and the general had a life-saving grace for my father, who had been thinking about this kindness since he was old and discharged from the army, and asked me to come to the general's grave for him to offer incense. ”

Hearing this, the tea girl laughed, "Poof, then you have come to the wrong place! The general's mausoleum is in the northwest dock city, but it is not in our place!"

Zhu'an was stunned, "Wucheng?"

How could it be in Dock City? Not at all.

After a while, he said politely: "It's me who is confused and found the wrong place, thank you for telling the store!"

The tea girl waved her hand and said with a smile that it was okay, and walked away to the side to work.

Zhu'an poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip lightly, his expression was dim.

At this time, a few people dressed as protégés of the Sword Martial Arts Sect came to the adjacent table, sat down and began to talk one by one.

"Hey, haven't you heard, this year's martial arts conference will be held next month!"

"Who is hosting it this year?"

"Hey...... Why is your news so closed, I don't know? This year, it's organized by the Liu family!"

Another person interjected: "That Jiangnan Liu family?"

"Not really!"

"Hey! That's really majestic, if you want me to say, the Liu family is in the limelight today, and it has the potential to crush other sects!"

"You can't say that, Jinan and Qingcheng are not so easy to compare!"

"However, the Liu family did out of the limelight at last year's martial arts conference!"

"You mean that ice and snow sparse flowers, if there is another one like You Xin this year, then there must be a good show to watch!"

"What a good show to watch, I haven't heard it yet!"

"Alas...... You said that if I could go to a martial arts conference and see it, even if I was thrown off the stage in the preliminary round, I would be able to blow it for several years!"

"I'm sorry, just you fool, you little sects still want to participate in the martial arts conference, just dream!"

The man was not annoyed when he was scolded, and asked back with a simple smile: "Isn't this a thought...... Besides, can you go to your sect?"

“...... Can't ......"

"Alas...... It is estimated that we will not have a chance to see these little shrimps in this life!"

After "......", there was a long sigh, complaining that he was born at the wrong time and his fate was unfair, but he didn't listen to it anymore.

Zhu'an thought about it, put down the tea money, and left the tea shed.

○

He had barely walked a short distance when he was blocked by a crowd of people in front of him, who had formed a circle and were noisy inside.

Zhu'an asked the aunt who was watching the excitement on the side what happened.

"Ouch, didn't you see it! That little girl took other people's things and didn't give money, and was caught by the stall owner!" the aunt replied with an excited and gossipy face while holding the vegetable basket, "You say, this little girl who looks quite peugeot, I don't think she is a bad person, how can she do this kind of thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs? It's really unseemly...... Oh, don't go! I'm not done yet......"

He wanted to pass through this street, and it seemed that he could only take a detour, and as soon as he turned around, he heard a very pleasant voice from the crowd behind him, but the tone was full of anger.

"If you don't let go, I'll chop off your hand!"

"What are you talking about? You little girl is still so arrogant when she steals something! I won't let you go! You chop it! The big guys are here to see who this person is! It's really uneducated!" The little vendor was startled by her words, but he didn't believe that this little girl had such ability, and he still didn't give up.

"That's it!"

"If I catch you, I'm going to chop off someone's arm, so vicious ......"

"Where did the uneducated dead girl come from, she stole something and didn't admit it, her mouth is so hard!"

"Why are you so unreasonable, little girl? You stole someone else's things before he caught you, otherwise why would he only arrest you and not me?"

The people around him also pointed and pointed, and the words were very ugly, but the hawker was secretly proud to hear it.

Zhu'an squeezed into the crowd, and sure enough, he saw a man grabbing the left arm of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and splashing on the street without relenting, and the onlookers also pointed at themselves with justice, and the more the girl listened, the more her face sank.

The girl wore a long red dress, and each arm and foot carried a golden chuan with a bell tied to it, and a teardrop-shaped ruby fell from her forehead, which was strung with two strands of golden silk thread into her thick black hair, and her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, like jade carefully carved with a fine carving knife.

It's just that the girl is frowning now, her face is gloomy, and a pair of beautiful eyes are staring at the man coldly......

At this moment, a slender hand reached over and gently wrapped the raised right hand.

"I paid the money this girl owed. ”

Suddenly, not only the onlookers were stunned, but the girl in red was also stunned.

Zhu'an put the money in the vendor's hand and quickly pulled the girl out of the crowd, leaving the hawker and everyone to look at each other.

After walking for a long time, Zhu'an let go of her hand, whispered a word of offense, and then bowed his head to signal that he was ready to leave.

The girl had been staring at him intently all the way when she was being dragged along, and when she saw that he was leaving, she followed him again.

Seeing this, Zhu'an had no choice but to stand still, and Wen Yan asked, "Is there something wrong with the girl?"

"I didn't steal anything from him. The girl in red replied to the question, and her eyes fixed on his eyes.

"I know. ”

"Then why did you help me out of the siege?"

"Girl, that's just an ordinary vendor. ”

"He was the one who slandered me first. ”

Even if he was at fault, he couldn't stand the girl's slap. ”

It turned out that the girl raised her hand just now, and the internal force in her palm had flowed, and the ordinary people had never noticed the killing intent at that moment, but Zhu'an keenly caught it, and knew that the girl's sentence about chopping his hand just now was not a lie.

It seemed that there was some grievance, the girl lowered her head and scratched the ground a few times with her toes, and the bell on her feet hung a bell, and it rang a few crisply, and said angrily: "That person used fake goods to slander people, I saw several people who were cheated of money by him, and I didn't want to care about it, but I just passed by there, and he hid his own things, and when he ran out, he grabbed me, and I stole it and asked me to pay for it...... And say I don't, upbringing......" She lowered her head gloomily, her voice a little quieter, "Say it again...... I didn't have any money with me!"

"Poof~" Zhu'an was amused by her, this girlish appearance is quite cute.

He couldn't help but reach out and poke her forehead, and said with a smile: "That person is a scoundrel, but if you hurt him in the street, wouldn't the situation be worse?"

The girl covered her forehead and nodded slowly.

After a while, Zhu'an sat by the window of a restaurant in the city, playing with a cold tea in his hand, looking at the girl sitting opposite and eating with relish, he was really a little confused, this girl had already followed him all the way.

If she wanted to thank him for his help, she thanked her, but if it wasn't for thanks, then he really couldn't guess what she wanted to do.

Not only could she not guess what she wanted to do, but she also said to him confidently, I am hungry.

As if a ghost was confused, he actually entered this restaurant.

Seeing her eating happily, he sighed and pushed a cup of tea over, "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

The girl smiled and nodded in thanks.

Considering the wording, Zhu'an cautiously asked, "Girl, don't you have nowhere to go?"

The girl's hand holding the chopsticks paused, bit the chopsticks, tilted her head in embarrassment, thought for a while, and said, "I was separated from the master." Brother, can you take me in?"

“...... Huh?"
