The eldest lady returned to her house, and while taking care of the house, she couldn't help but sigh and say, "Strange, strange, really strange." ”

The old man knocked on a dozen fried beans on the table, looking at his mother-in-law muttering non-stop, a little irritable, "What's the blame?"

The eldest lady shook her head and said, "It's nothing." After hesitating for a moment, he put down the things in his hand, sat down next to his wife, and cleaned up the clutter on the table, "Alas, Xiaoying, it's time to get married." ”

"Phew~" The old man spat out a mouthful of bean dregs, "Bad." He picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, "Hmph, I told you a long time ago, find her a mother-in-law early, you just won't be obedient! Wait, wait, wait, you have to wait for his father who joined the army to fight come back." What time is it now? Everywhere is the rebellious army of the imperial court chasing and killing the remnants of the previous dynasty, and it is very chaotic. In case Xiaoying has something that is long and short, alas, how can you explain it to other people's fathers?"

The eldest lady was also worried, and slapped her palm on the table, "I didn't tell her~"

The old man came to his senses, "Besides, if the family affairs of the Gao County Wang family are clear, we can get a few taels of silver, but you are disobedient." ”

The eldest lady spread her hands angrily, "Xiaoying, she refuses." ”

When the old man heard this, he took a sip of the teacup and sighed, "Alas~"

As the night deepened, the girl lay on the bed on the second floor. "Oh~Oh~Oh~" The sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground kept coming from the horse shed on the first floor, and the girl just fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up by this voice, and said dissatisfiedly, "Xiaolong, be good, don't be noisy, sleep obediently." Unfortunately, the sound of the horse's hoofs did not cease with the girl's reprimand, but grew louder and louder, mixed with the cries and neighing of the horses.

"Xiaolong, don't make any noise, I'll take you out tomorrow, ah. When the girl had said this, she wanted to fall asleep again, when she heard a loud noise from the first floor, and then the sound of the door collapsing, and the girl sat up from her bed, and hurried down the stairs to look into the stables. I saw that in the stable, the firewood door leading to the outside of the stable had fallen to the ground, and the horses of the two deserters were still in the stable, but their white horse Xiaolong was gone. Not far away, a white shadow galloped on the hills.

"Little Dragon, Little Dragon, Come Back Soon!" the girl immediately put on her coat, and without caring that she was barefoot, she opened the door and rushed out.

"Xiaolong, you're back! Don't you want Xiaoying?!" The girl ran on the ground, deep and shallow, staggering, chasing after the white shadow in the distance. The girl cried and chased over the hill, but she really didn't have the strength to chase down, so she held on to the big tree on the hill, looked at the white shadow that disappeared in the distance, and cried loudly. The cry was especially clear in the night.

"Tianzhong, do you see clearly?" said a child's voice.

Zuo Tian looked at the white horse Xiaolong who was away and the girl who was suffering under the tree, thought for a while and said, "Back to Shizun, presumably the white horse heard the girl's promise, so he left the girl and went to find her father, who had not returned for a year and was fighting outside." ”

"Gao Hong, what do you think?" Tong Yin started again.

Gao Hong was worried. The girl said that as long as the white horse could bring her father back, she would marry him. What if the girl can't fulfill her promise then?" another voice sounded from the child's body, as if another person was hidden in the small body.

"You don't really want to get married, do you?!" Zuo Tianzong showed surprise on his face.

Lu Xihua sighed, "Tianzhong, you say, should this agreement between man and beast be observed? Beast has obeyed the agreement, but does man need to abide by it in the same way? If a person does not obey, then is he a human or a beast? Gao Hong, what is your opinion?"

Gao Hong believes that this is not a war, but a private opinion, and the agreement must be followed. ”

Zuo Tianzhong thought about it for a while, and also said, "All things have spirits, and they can't be deceived unless they fight." ”

Lu Xihua nodded, "Not bad." Man is the head of all things in the world, not just smart, but man has faith, right and wrong, what should be done and what should not be done. In the future, you will rule the underworld, and there will be human spirits, ghosts, and demons, and the judgment of right and wrong will be up to you. Therefore, you must not be negligent, so that you will have great merit, and you will get out of this place as soon as possible and become immortals. ”

"Follow the teachings of the Master. Gao Hong remembered it. The words fell, and only the cry of the desolate girl remained in the night.

The sky was slightly brighter, and the girl dragged her tired body and slowly returned to her room. As soon as I arrived outside the house, I saw the lady next door walking towards her house, the girl was full of grievances, and there was nowhere to tell, so she ran to the aunt with her legs.

"Hey, my Xiaoying, where did you get a blade of grass? Look at your feet, what are they all hurting like?What's wrong?Why did you run outside barefoot?" The eldest lady watched the embarrassed girl running towards her, and hurriedly hugged the child. The girl's clothes are soaked, and the night breeze and morning dew are so easy to provoke, which makes the eldest mother feel distressed again and again.

"Good boy, change your clothes quickly, you don't know how many sins you have suffered this night. ”

When the girl came to the eldest mother, she didn't answer, and hurriedly pulled the eldest mother and dragged her into her room, "This child, what's wrong? Why do you use so much force?" The eldest mother was pulled by the girl three or two times to the stable on the first floor.

The girl was crying, and her voice was a little hoarse, "Auntie, look, Xiaolong." Little dragon, it ran away. The girl said, pointing to the broken wooden door of the stable.

The eldest lady looked in the stable, this year, a good horse is worth a lot of silver, last night she and her old man were still envious of the girl's good life, met two deserters beat each other to death, in vain picked up two good horses and some blades. Who knew that just one night, the girl's own white horse broke into the door and ran away, this is fate.

"Auntie, let's go find it, let's go find Xiaolong!" the girl took Auntie's hand and muttered.

The eldest lady couldn't, "It's strange, this beast, you raised it since you were a child, how could you suddenly run away by yourself?"

Thinking of this, the eldest lady held the girl's cold hand, "Don't worry. While opening the window to breathe, he pulled the girl to sit down in the room, "Xiaoying, you listen to what the aunt said." ”

The girl encountered the deserter indecent yesterday, and last night her beloved horse Xiaolong ran away again, and the ensuing things have made the girl's brain a mess, and at this moment there is an elder to talk to herself, and her heart is always calm, and she no longer speaks at the moment.

The eldest lady said bitterly, "Xiaoying, these years are not peaceful. Your father entrusted you to my care. Auntie's body is also getting worse day by day, I'm old, I can't stand you, let you go crazy outside every day, you say that if something happens to you, when your father comes back, how can I explain to him?!"

The eldest lady stroked the girl's hand and said, "The Wang family in Gao County is also a medium-sized and honest family, I think you should marry it, so as not to worry about it." Don't wait for your dad to come back, huh? You're a woman, and you don't have a foil to help you, so what can you do? ”

"I don't want it, I don't want it!" The girl was angry, and after a night of exhaustion, she suddenly fainted.

When the girl woke up and found herself lying on the bed on the second floor, the eldest lady was cleaning up the house on the side, and she was very happy to see the girl wake up, "Come on, come on, drink this bowl of porridge, I've been cooking it for a morning, and you don't know how to take care of your body." ”

The girl took the porridge bowl and drank it in small sips, and the eldest lady put down her hand and said, "Don't worry too much." It is said that the old horse knows the way, this little dragon, eating is originally by nature, maybe, it is going out to graze, and when it is full, it will come back. You're going to get sick and you won't be able to see it, but what can you do?"

The girl didn't speak, but just drank the porridge and lay back on the bed again, the eldest lady looked at the girl like this, sighed helplessly, quietly went downstairs, closed the door, and left.

The girl was lying on the bed, and couldn't help but see the pony ornament hanging on the window next to the bed, which was a small cloth horse that her father had sewn for herself, and she remembered that when she was a child, she held it in her arms every day and cherished it very much.

The girl took off the little cloth horse, put it on her chest, and while pondering, she recalled the things of her childhood, and muttered, "Little dragon, little dragon, where did you go? Why did you leave me?"

"Little Dragon, where are you going?" muttered to the girl in her dream.

In a daze, the girl heard someone knocking on the door downstairs, and the girl hurriedly got up and went downstairs, and hurriedly opened the door, only to see a handsome boy in white standing outside the door, with a horse embroidered with a faint silver thread on his chest.

"Childe has~" The girl looked at the horse on the handsome son's clothes and couldn't help but speak.

"Do you really want to marry him?" the handsome boy suddenly spoke, and the girl was immediately frightened. The handsome boy pushed the girl away and walked into the house, looked around the room, and finally stood still, and asked, "As long as the white horse takes your father back, are you really willing to marry him?"

At this moment, the girl's brain exploded, and she suddenly remembered what she said last night, could it be that Xiaolong disappeared just to find her father, and she wanted to marry Xiaolong?

The handsome boy came to the girl and lifted the girl's chin with his hand, "Are you really willing to marry a horse?"

The girl looked at the handsome boy shyly, looked at the white horse embroidered on his chest, and couldn't help but fantasize in her mind, "Could this be Xiaolong?!" Although the girl did not answer, her heart at this moment undoubtedly showed her attitude.

The handsome boy suddenly understood, holding the girl's shoulder with one hand, holding the girl's knee with the other, and holding the girl in his arms. At this moment, the girl was unusually shy, burying her little face in the chest of the handsome son.

The handsome boy carried the girl up to the second floor, slowly put the girl on the bed, and slowly pressed her body up.

The girl felt shy in her heart, and only felt that she vaguely felt as if she had heard the sound of the white horse and the dragon galloping on the wilderness again. "Da Da ~ Da ~ , Da Da ~ Da ~ " This sound of horses' hooves took the girl in the wilderness in a hurry, he seemed to return to the past at this moment, he jumped on the white horse and rode on the little dragon, up and down, slightly bumpy, is so cheerful, so happy.

"Ding~Ding~Ding~" The sound of wind chimes woke the girl from her dream, and when she looked up, she saw that the wind chimes hanging on the eaves were ringing with the wind. The girl hurriedly looked around, and the handsome boy was nowhere to be seen, and the little cloth horse that her father had made for herself still on her chest.

"It's all a dream?!" the girl got up from the bed, grabbed the little horse, quickly turned over and got out of bed, and before she had time to put on her shoes, she came to the first floor, went straight to the door, and pulled it open.

There was only a gentle breeze blowing outside the door, which blew the girl's hair in all directions, and the girl's heart was empty at the moment.

"Alas~" On the hill far away, there were several sighs.

For more than half a month, the girl lost her old laughter, locked herself in the house, and lay on the bed.

"Xiaoying, Xiaolong himself will come back sooner or later, you can't skip your meal!" Seeing that the food on the table did not move, the eldest lady couldn't help but shake her head and shouted to the girl on the second floor.

The girl lay on the bed, holding the little cloth horse in her arms, and did not speak, her eyes were full of tears, and her mind was full of the sound of the hooves of the white horse and the little dragon.

The eldest lady couldn't get an answer from the girl, shook her head, turned around helplessly, and said, "Xiaoying, I'll put the food in the cupboard for you." If you want to eat, go downstairs and get it yourself, but I'm leaving. ”

The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the girl's head, and the sound became clearer and louder. The girl suddenly sat up from the bed, "This is, the sound of the dragon's hooves, the little dragon is back, the little dragon is back!" Before the thought could be formed, suddenly a familiar neighing of horses came from outside the house, "It's the little dragon! The little dragon is back!" The girl didn't care about her body, but immediately sat up and galloped downstairs, saying something in her mouth.

"Ah, is it really Xiaolong coming back?!" The eldest lady was also startled, looking at the girl who was rushing out as if she was on fire, and shouted, "Xiaoying, you slow down, you slow down!" After speaking, she went to open the door of the house.

The girl was also in a hurry to come to help, and the two hurriedly opened the door of the house, and when they looked, they saw a white shadow standing quietly outside the door. The girl was about to pounce up, but her eyes looked at the horse's back, and she was so frightened that she took a few steps back and fell into the arms of the eldest mother. The eldest lady was also confused by Xiaoying's actions at the moment, and when she looked out, she was also so frightened that she hugged Xiaoying tightly in her arms.

I saw that the white horse at the door was the little dragon that had been missing for half a month, but there was a figure on its back, and under the moonlight, it turned out to be a skeleton wearing armor, with two big holes in its head looking straight at the two people in the house, sitting motionless on horseback.

The girl and the eldest lady had just settled down, and the skeleton on the horseback suddenly leaned and fell sideways to the ground, which frightened the two of them again, and the girl fell into the arms of the eldest mother and did not dare to open her eyes.

The eldest lady dared to look at the skeleton, and saw a red cloth bag tied around the waist of the skeleton in armor, with a few words faintly revealing on it.

"No, isn't this the cloth bag you tied to your father when he went on the expedition?" said the eldest lady in a low voice.

Hearing this, the girl opened her eyes and looked at the waist of the skeleton that fell to the ground, and sure enough, the armor worn by the skeleton spread out, and a small red cloth bag came out, and a white linen cloth was stacked inside, with three words written on it, "Thunder Tribulation Order". This is an amulet that the girl asked for at the temple when she went out on the expedition for her father, hoping that the gods would bless her father to return safely from the battlefield.

The girl looked at Lei Fu stupidly, and walked towards the skeleton in front of her step by step, as if every step was so heavy. When he got closer, the leather boots on the skull's feet, the armor he was wearing, and the hat he wore on his head, all of which were carefully sewn and wiped by his father under the oil lamp for dozens of days and nights before he set out for the expedition. All the characteristics are clear in the chest, and when you see your eyes at this moment, where will you not recognize it? The withered skeleton in front of you is clearly my father who has been away for a year.

"Daddy!" the girl cried, and immediately knelt in front of the skeleton.

The eldest lady hugged the girl's trembling body tightly, "Child, don't cry, this is all fate!

At this moment, the girl's mind was full of echoes, and she couldn't help but look at the white horse standing in front of her, who looked at the girl motionless with a pair of black eyes. "If you can really take your father back~ I'll marry you!" "I'll marry you~" "I'll marry you~" The girl recalled this sentence, and for a while, she was already stupid.
