In the western part of duckweed country, on a swamp, two figures chased and fought one after the other.

When the oncoming staggering sword light was hesitating whether to avoid it, the person in front of him who was being chased and killed immediately shouted at the top of his throat,

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Sima Yuan was startled and dodged aside without thinking.

And at this moment, he is still a thousand feet away.

However, it was said that the leader was wearing a red robe, and there were dozens of knife marks on his body, and there were as many as ten scars that had already been scarred, not to mention those new swords.

After a few breaths, the red-robed monk took the lead in skimming Sima Yuan's side, and in an instant, he disappeared, as if he had completely defeated the person behind him.

New wounds and old scars come together, what a tragic word.

However, in Sima Yuan's eyes, this guy is also fierce enough, and he was stunned to throw the angry middle-aged man behind him far away, almost leaving the dust.

When Sima Yuanzheng sighed, the hair suddenly stood on end, and Huo Ran turned his head to look at the scarred man who had gone and returned.

Qi Zheng looked at Sima Yuan with a smile, "Yo, boy, I didn't expect you to be a young man in the rivers and lakes, haven't you heard of the sentence 'The fire at the city gate will cause disaster to the fish'?"

The person who came was slender and beautiful, and his hearty laughter made people feel good.

Sima Yuan secretly praised, this person is good-looking, and he didn't forget to remind others to dodge when he ran for his life, and he deserved the title of 'beautiful man'!

He took a closer look, and what kind of red robe was on the other party's body, which was clearly a blood-colored white robe dyed red, which was extremely dazzling and eye-catching.

Sima Yuan glanced at the chasing aura that was getting closer and closer, and said quietly, "The person chasing you is coming, why don't you run?"

The man screamed, turned around and ran, and disappeared in a flash of smoke.

There was only one word left in my ear, "Good boy, have guts! My name is Qin Idiot, the eldest young master of the Qin family in Qingping County, Duckweed Country is me! Brother, after I get rid of this love enemy, I will come to you again, you kid is interesting enough, I have made up this friend!"

Sima Yuan looked at the other party's distant back with a little strangeness, and admired it in his heart.

At this time, an angry roar ran through Sima Yuan's ears,

"Damn Qin Shou, you dare to steal my bitch, Lao Tzu hacked you alive, don't run away if you have the ability!"

The red-robed man who claimed to be called Qin Idiot screamed strangely, "You have the ability to catch up with me."

Sima Yuan was startled, cold sweat broke out, and he touched the cold sweat on his forehead quite embarrassed.

Oh, a violent and ferocious aura approached, glanced at Sima Yuan, who waved his hand again and again, and after snorting coldly, he hurriedly chased after him.

Leaving Sima Yuan alone in the wind.

He muttered a little awkwardly,

"The relationship between the people under the mountain is so messy!"

--------

Qingping County.

Outside the county town, Sima Yuan stepped in, and the streets were full of people, shoulder to shoulder, so it was not lively and prosperous.

"Sugar gourd, honey sweet sugar gourd, a string of three cents, only three cents. ”

"Cooking cakes, alas, buy cooking cakes, crunchy cooking cakes. ”

"Eat wontons, steaming wontons, as long as five cents, as long as five cents. ”

........

A little girl with a sturgeon on her head looked intently at the sugar gourd seller, pulling her father beside her with one hand, and didn't take a step forward.

The slightly depressed middle-aged scholar sighed lightly, glanced around vigilantly with his spare eyes, and quickly bought a string for his daughter, and said helplessly,

"Lingyun, this is the fifth string, you can't ask for this string anymore after eating!"

The little girl named Lingyun blushed slightly, and when she was about eleven or twelve years old, she smiled, half coquettish and half soft.

Sima Yuan's eyebrows moved, and he nodded lightly at the little girl who was smiling at him, and after a little groaning, he walked to the wonton stall on the side and sat down, beckoning, "Boss, please come to a bowl of wontons!"

"Okay, you can wait a minute, it'll be right away!" replied the elderly stall owner with a smile on his face.

I saw him lift the lid of the pot, and the raw wontons that had been prepared for a long time were poured into the pot, and a gust of wind and fire rose, and the hot soup in the pot began to boil.

After a little effort, a cooked food fragrance entered the tip of his nose, which made Sima Yuan sigh lightly.

"Big brother, are you also greedy?"

Sima Yuan turned his head to look, but saw that the middle-aged scholar covered the little girl's mouth with an embarrassed face, half reprimanding and half maintaining the authenticity,

"Yun'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Sima Yuan replied with a smile, "Yes, I saw you eating sugar gourd just now, which just aroused the gluttony in my stomach." ”

The little girl didn't see anything else, so she simply broke free from her father's arm and sat opposite Sima Yuan.

"My name is Zhong Lingyun, what about you?"

Sima Yuan smiled but said nothing.

The little girl didn't care, her little arms were lying on the table, her little eyes were wide, and she said with a smile,

"Yun'er also likes the wontons cooked by Grandpa Zhang, which are smooth but not greasy, and the aroma of the meat and the skin are integrated, which is delicious!"

The old stall owner next to him laughed, brought a bowl of hot and painful wontons and put it in front of Sima Yuan, and sprinkled a few green onions on his hand, and suddenly there was a smell of green onions, meat and noodle soup into the tip of his nose, which made Sima Yuan's heart flutter, and he couldn't help but nod slowly and said with a smile,

"Before I tasted it, the fragrance was refreshing, and it seems that what the little sister said was true. ”

Sima Yuan smiled narrowly, "I guess, Xiao Yun'er must also be a repeat customer of the old stall owner!"

The little girl smiled, blinked her eyes, and glanced at the wontons in front of her father and Sima Yuan from time to time.

Sima Yuan smiled knowingly, and the scholar surnamed Zhong was a little helpless, and then said to the old stall owner, "Uncle Zhang, please give Yun'er a bowl too." ”

The old stall owner surnamed Zhang smiled and said well.

The little girl immediately jumped up, chirped, and kissed the scholar surnamed Zhong, "Long live Daddy, Long live Daddy!"

Seeing that the little girl's smart eyes were about to smile into a slit, Sima Yuan smiled.

There is some envy and regret in my heart.

He also wanted to have a sister like that.

Or, girl?

Sima Yuan grunted, and after swallowing the last bite of wontons, he was about to get up to settle the bill, and touched the storage bag on his waist, when he suddenly frowned a little, as if he was hesitating.

The little girl opposite immediately blossomed with joy, almost laughing on the table, wanting to laugh until her stomach hurt, and her little body trembled.

She sneakily trotted to Sima Yuan's side, tried her best to hold back her smile, and asked in a low voice with a narrow face,

"Is there no money?"

Sima Yuan was a little embarrassed on his face and touched the tip of his nose.

There is money, but it is all Lingyuan stones.

As for mundane currencies such as gold, silver, and copper coins, he really didn't have them.

Seeing Sima Yuan's constipation in a dilemma, the little girl let out an almost neurotic low laugh, and in Sima Yuan's resentful eyes, she jumped up and patted Sima Yuan's shoulder, so she said heroically,

"Big brother, this time the money for this bowl of wontons will be credited to my account, and when we meet again next time, you will return the money to me, how about it?"

Sima Yuan glanced at the other party, and when the little girl said this, Yu Guang first glanced at her father, and only after seeing him nod lightly did he say this.

He couldn't help but move in his heart, and after secretly praising it, he said with a smile, "Okay, the money for this meal will be temporarily credited to your account, and I will compensate you afterwards." ”

The little girl returned to the table with her little hand behind her back, waved her little hand, and said with a chivalrous face,

"When you're out and about, who doesn't have a time when you're stretched, today I recognize you as a friend of the rivers and lakes, what do you think?"

Looking at the little girl's radiant eyes, Sima Yuan hesitated slightly, as if he was a little hesitant.

The little girl was immediately angry, slapped the table, and raised her eyebrows, "What, no?"

Sima Yuan's eyelids jumped, and he waved his hand again and again, "It's not impossible, it's just ......" ”

Hearing a snap again, Sima Yuan raised his eyes and saw the little girl holding her little head, looking at her father behind her with a pitiful face.

"Daddy....... ”

The scholar surnamed Zhong had black lines on his face, and his raised palm fell gently, and he rubbed his daughter's head with some distress.

hit her and hurt in his heart.

He said with a straight face, "Apologize to Childe."

The little girl bowed slightly to Sima Yuan with a bitter face, apologized in a dignified manner, and said in a low voice,

"I'm sorry Childe, I'm being rude. ”

Sima Yuan hurriedly got up and got out of the way, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't have to be like this." ”

After he pondered for a while, he said to the scholar surnamed Zhong, "I am calling Sima Yuan under my name, and I want to discuss one or two things with Mr., I don't know if it is convenient?"

The scholar surnamed Zhong looked stunned, as if he was puzzled, and immediately glanced at the noisy environment around him, "I don't know what is important about the son?"

Sima Yuan set his eyes on the little girl with a blank and curious face, and there seemed to be satisfaction in his eyes.

The scholar surnamed Zhong was immediately furious, and dragged the little girl away like a calf, making Sima Yuan wonder.

The old stall owner who was holding the wontons looked Sima Yuan up and down, "Look at the person who is dressed like a human and a dog, how can he be so dirty?"

He sighed and waved his hand, "That's it, you don't have to pay for the wontons, son, go quickly, the old man's shop is about to close." ”

Sima Yuan seemed puzzled, and immediately snapped his forehead, shook his head with a wry smile, "Uncle, you misunderstood." ”

The old stall owner waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say more.

Sima Yuan thought about it, looked at the backs of the father and daughter, and simply followed quietly.

After Sima Yuan left, the stall owner surnamed Zhang quickly put away the sundries in his hand and walked into a secret room in a hurry.

One of the people in the room was meditating with his eyes closed, cross-legged.

Looking at its outstanding appearance, it seems to be rare in the world.

The stall owner surnamed Zhang said in a low voice, "Immortal Master, the young sword immortal you mentioned is here." ”

The man slowly opened his eyes, without desire.

Judging by his appearance, it is the person who was suspected of being 'green' before.

After a few moments of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, I see, you can step down." ”

The stall owner surnamed Zhang nodded and bowed out.

The man seemed to say to himself, "Go find someone to cause some trouble."

Secretly, someone immediately called the promise.

A remote alleyway.

The scholar surnamed Zhong picked up the little girl and ran quickly, and after bypassing several busy streets and alleys, he stopped in a remote alley.

He panted and put down his daughter, his face showing a hint of fear and uneasiness, and then he looked around and was relieved to see that no one was chasing him.

She patted the girl who was puzzled in her arms, and forced a smile, "It's okay, don't be afraid, there is a father."

The little girl wrinkled her nose and said in a nasal voice, "Dad, how do I feel that the boy is not malicious." ”

The scholar surnamed Zhong's face sank, and he said almost sharply, "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts! How many times has Dad told you that you should not approach others so casually in the future, if those evil demons know about their crooked ways, they will definitely arrest you and eat them." ”

The little girl was a little depressed when she heard this, and she sighed softly.

Since she was sensible, she has lived such a wandering life, and has followed her father since she was a child, but whenever there is any trouble, her father will panic, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, for fear that her family will be quietly taken away.

All this is because of the calamity that he has brought on his own family.

Dad once looked at the mage of Tsing Yi Guan, saying that his own physique is different, and the demon wants to eat her when he sees it, and the immortal master will have a bad heart when he encounters it.

Since then, her father has taken her around and lived a life of fear.

She whispered, "Dad, Yun'er is tired." ”

The scholar surnamed Zhong was silent when he heard this, squatted down and picked up his daughter.

The little girl actually wanted to say, Dad, Yun'er doesn't want you to suffer anymore.

In the distance, a young figure stood silently.

He whispered, "Faerie Body."

In front of a dilapidated house.

After the scholar surnamed Zhong returned here with the little girl, he opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly his expression changed greatly, and he protected the little girl behind him.

A splendid young man was standing with his hands in his hands, looking around, except for a table and two broken chairs, there was nothing left, as if it was a temporary place.

The scholar surnamed Zhong said jerkily, "How can I let the little girl go?"

There was a hint of perseverance in his eyes, and he raised his head and said resolutely, "Is it okay to exchange my life for the life of the little girl?"
