Out of the Snow Mountain, cross the Jinsha River and the Yalong River, and arrive at the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. The two of them stayed overnight and didn't realize that they had been gone for more than three months.

At noon on this day, the two arrived in a town and entered a restaurant, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran over to greet him: "Two guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Murong Xue lightly arched her hand and said, "Little second brother, thank you, two upper rooms, just come with some food." ”

"You're welcome, wait, the meal will be coming soon. After Xiao Er finished speaking, his eyebrows flew and he left.

After a while, the meal was ready, and the two of them devoured it and feasted on large pieces.

After eating, Murong Xue said: "Yuqing, let's rest here today." ”

Guan Yuqing held her cheeks in her hand and said happily: "Little sister follows you in the rivers and lakes, naturally I listen to you, where you are, I will be there." ”

"There's still a long way to go, and if you miss it like frost, I'll send you back. Murong Xue said with a smile.

Yuqing said with a sad face: "In this world, except for Rushuang, I only have one relative, no matter how long and hard the road ahead is, I will not leave you." ”

When Murong Xue heard this, her heart was shocked, she sighed, and suddenly thought of her mother, and her eyes turned red.

"Big brother, are you crying?"

Murong Xue hurriedly covered up, "No...... This Shuchuan pepper is too spicy. ”

Guan Yuqing bent her eyebrows and smiled like a flower, "You really look like a child." ”

Murong Xue raised her sword eyebrows and said, "Where do I look like a child?"

"Sometimes when you talk, your eyes turn red, don't you know?"

Murong Xue lowered her head, stunned, "When I think of my mother, I can't help crying, and I feel sad when I am separated from my aunt." ”

Guan Yuqing curled her hair with her hand, thoughtful, "Big brother, if one day we are separated, will you be sad?"

Murong Xue was stunned, not knowing how to answer, so she had to smile and say, "Let's ...... Let's go back to our room and rest. After speaking, he picked up the sword, picked up the package, and the two went back to their rooms.

After a long time, there was a knock on the door. Murong Xue opened the door and saw a young man standing at the door, wearing a square scarf, a light blue satin coat, a brocade belt around his waist, and clear eyebrows.

"What is this benevolent brother doing?" the man chuckled and grimaced, Murong Xue took a closer look and exclaimed, "Yuqing, why are you dressed like this?"

Guan Yuqing entered the room and closed the door, "Big brother, do I look good in this dress?"

"Beautiful!"

"Neither of us is so far from home, the world is sinister, we have to be careful in everything when we walk the rivers and lakes, I change into men's clothes, it will save some trouble. Guan Yuqing was very proud.

Murong Xue nodded yes, "You still have an idea." ”

Guan Yuqing handed over a package, "Big brother, this is for you, put it on!"

Murong Xue opened the package and saw that Guan Yuqing was still standing there, so she said, "You...... Let's avoid it. ”

Guan Yuqing turned around and raised her hand, and said in a coquettish voice: "No, I'm a man now, what are you afraid of." Murong Xue was helpless, shook her head, and hurriedly put it on.

"This ...... What did you put on me?"

Guan Yuqing turned around and looked, and suddenly laughed, only to see Murong Xue wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt, crumpled pants, straps on her calves, and a pair of cloth shoes on her feet. Dressed like a farmer. Guan Yuqing squatted on the ground and burst into tears with laughter.

"You're still laughing, you're dressing up so good, and you're making me like this. ”

Guan Yuqing was proud, and slowly paced with his hands behind his back, "I'm in the car, so I'm naturally in charge, and if you catch the car, you naturally have to dress up like this, well, it's just that you look handsome." ”

When Murong Xue heard this, she sighed and shook her head helplessly.

Early the next morning, the two paid for the house and walked north along the road.

In the evening, a village is in sight. Murong Xue saw that the sun was about to sink in the west, and said, "Yuqing, there is a village in front, let's spend the night tonight." Guan Yuqing smiled and said, "Listen to you!"

Passing through a forest, after a short time to arrive at the entrance of the village, there is a big grass pile on both sides of the entrance of the village, there is a wooden bridge from the small river to the village, the village has hundreds of households, the houses are built according to the mountain, the gray tile and red wall, the staggered fall, the back is against the mountains, facing the beautiful forest.

Murong Xue couldn't help but admire: "The Han people's village is so beautiful!"

"It's really beautiful, but when I hear my grandfather talk about Jiangnan, it's not like this. ”

"The Great Song Dynasty is really a vast area. ”

The two of them saw that the door of the deep courtyard of a high-rise house was empty, so they stepped forward to knock on the door, and a Zhuang Han about thirty years old walked out, Murong Xue arched his hand and said: "This benevolent brother, the two of us hurried to Chengdu Mansion, and it is getting here, it is getting late, can you make it convenient to spend the night overnight, tomorrow morning, and the house money will be Baina according to the rules." ”

The Zhuang Han glanced at it and said coldly: "We are not an inn, we have a place to stay for ten miles." ”

Guan Yuqing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This big brother, it's getting late, let's make it convenient!" The man was bored, "Go and go, don't hate it." With that, he immediately closed the door.

The two were helpless, and asked a few more households, but they all refused coldly. Murong Xue sneered: "Han people are so unreasonable. Guan Yuqing slapped him, "Am I too?"

Murong Xue snorted, "You grew up in the Snow Mountain, where are you still Han, you are just a snowman." Guan Yuqing waved his little hand to hit him when he heard this, and said angrily: "You villain!"

At this time, an old woman not far away waved her hand to them, and the two looked at each other and walked towards the old woman.

The old woman was full of white hair, her face was full of furrows, and her body was covered with patches, "Child, if you want to stay, come with me." The two were very happy when they heard this, and followed the old woman to a dilapidated farmhouse at the back of the village.

The old woman opened the door and said apologetically: "It's a little shabby, so I'll stay for one night." Then he led the two into the house.

The room was very simple, with a wooden bed in the corner, a wooden table in the middle of the room, a stove in the other corner, and nothing else.

Guan Yuqing took out a piece of silver from her arms and put it in the old woman's hand, "Thank you mother-in-law for staying overnight, please accept the house money." ”

The old woman smiled and pushed Yuqing's hand, "Take it back quickly, the house is broken, what kind of money do you want, stay for one night and leave tomorrow." ”

Guan Yuqing put the silver on the table and asked, "Mother-in-law, this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is very beautiful, why are those people so indifferent?" The old woman shook her head and sighed, "Rich people have always been like this." ”

"I heard that the Great Song Dynasty was rich and the people were strong, and the mountains and rivers were splendid, but I didn't expect the people to be like this. Murong Xue couldn't help but shake her head.

Guan Yuqing saw that her mother-in-law was destitute, and felt pity, "Mother-in-law, everyone here is rich, why are you so poor?"

The old woman wiped her cloudy tears, "The old man died early, and I have no children under my knees, so that's it." Guan Yuqing couldn't help crying when she heard this, "Then how do you live?"

The old woman was full of sorrow, her eyes were hazy with tears, "I can make a living with the leftovers and cold rice every day." Guan Yuqing couldn't help sighing, "I saw you at the door of that family just now, were you begging? Why didn't you give it to you?"

"The rich are stingy, and the poor are not easy to stretch out. Seeing that the old woman was old and frail, lonely and helpless, Murong Xue also felt very pitiful, and sighed speechlessly.

At this time, I heard the voices of people outside, noisy and shouting. Guan Yuqing asked the old woman, "Mother-in-law, what is going on outside?" The old woman said calmly: "There may be a disaster tonight." ”

"What's the trouble?"

"Recently, a group of strongmen appeared and robbed several nearby Zhuangzi, and the people in the village were very afraid, my broken tile and cold kiln, the strongmen will not come, children, don't worry. ”

"The strongman is so domineering, isn't there an official government here?" Guan Yuqing was slightly puzzled.

The old woman shook her head.

Murong Xue hesitated slightly, got up and said, "You stay in the house, I'll go out and have a look." Guan Yuqing hurriedly took his hand, "Be careful!" Murong Xue nodded, and walked out of the door with the divine sword on her back.
