Inside the palace of the Black City, the capital of the Snow Wolf Country.

A graceful woman was sitting on a bed with a gold-sprinkled gauze tent sobbing sadly, wiping the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief from time to time. She is about thirty-five years old, and her cherry pink dress is embroidered with intricate hibiscus flowers with gold thread on the front and back, and the silver carved beads and magnolia hairpins on her head flicker gently, lining her gentle and graceful temperament.

"Queen, you don't eat or drink, how can your body stand it, the widow is very worried about you! Is it that the widow is not doing something to your liking......" It was Liu Yuanhai, the king of the snow wolf, who spoke, and he looked worried, and patted the woman's back and shoulder with one hand.

"No, it was the king who rescued the concubines from the Hu clan back then, and he took in the concubines regardless of his previous suspicions, and he has been treating each other with courtesy all these years, and the concubines have always been grateful for the king's kindness......! It's just that Ru'er, my poor daughter, has not been heard from since that war, and five years ago she was only twelve years old, and I often dream of her......"

"The widow knows that the most painful thing about being a mother is naturally being separated from her children. In fact, over the years, widows have also known that you often make some pastries, and then look at the pastries in a daze or even talk to yourself...... In fact, I am thinking about my daughter's favorite food, worrying that she will not eat well, worrying that she will not sleep well, and even wondering if she has a sweetheart, after all, she has grown up!"

The Snow Wolf King assured with a sincere face, "Actually, the widow has already sent secret agents to Shunguo to find out Ru'er's whereabouts! The widow promises that when he finds Ru'er, he will take her back and make her the most noble princess of the Snow Wolf Country, and treat her better than his own daughter......

It turned out that this woman was the former queen Yang Yanrong who was abducted by the Snow Wolf King in the "Yongjia Disaster" five years ago.

"Report to the king, Prime Minister Zhang has something to say, it's about Shunguo. An inner palace eunuch knelt down and bowed.

"Ah, there is news from Ru'er......" Queen Sheep immediately got up and asked.

"Let him wait in the side hall!" "The Snow Wolf King grabbed Yang Yanrong's hand and patted it to appease him, and replied to the below, after the eunuch went out, he carefully helped her and comforted, "You are in a hurry, sit down and eat something first, rest well, and take care of your body, the widow will go to see Zhang Mengsun!"

Signaling a few maidservants to serve Yang Yanrong well and sit at the dining table, the Snow Wolf King immediately rushed to the side hall.

"The king, the younger brother Zhang Mengbin Feige replied that he found out that Xiahou Zhan was about to sneak back to Jiangnan Shunguo with the Qilin treasure map, and I am afraid that he will soon contact the old department, and when they dig out the treasure and have sufficient military expenses, grain and grass, the army will inevitably cross the river and go on an expedition to the north! We can't let the tiger return to the mountain......" Zhang Mengsun, who had a gray beard, was close to the sixtieth year but had a look of disobedience to the old age, he put one hand behind his back, and said eloquently, "Xiahou Zhan is well versed in the art of war, and my Snow Wolf Army has also suffered a big loss at his hands over the years." It is rumored that Xiahou Zhan has a righteous son named Feng Fu, who is now serving as the chief soldier of Mazhou......"

"No one expected that Xiahou Zhan's trip must be to Mazhou!" the Snow Wolf King stood up firmly, and then paced, "The Central Plains Art of War, those who are good at moving the enemy, the enemy will follow it, and if it is given, the enemy will take it." Move it with profit, and treat it with a pawn. Therefore, those who are good at fighting seek it from the situation, and they are not responsible for others, so they can choose people and let the situation be...... The widow will come up with a plan and let him kill himself!"

"Prime Minister Zhang, do you know what to do?" asked Snow Wolf King Suyan. Zhang Mengsun immediately bowed down and replied, "The king has a good plan, so the minister will arrange it, and the younger brother will also act according to the plan." ”

"There is no room for failure in this matter, if necessary, we can join forces with the Orthodox Sect, whether we live or die!, however, the Qilin Treasure Map must be in the hands of the widow......" The Snow Wolf King, with a grim face, looked at the misty sky outside the palace. "Yes!" Zhang Mengsun was about to retreat, but suddenly the Snow Wolf King's expression eased and added, "Also, let Zhang Mengbin find out the whereabouts of the queen's beloved daughter Sima Ru!" After speaking, he hurried out of the side hall and rushed towards the queen's bedroom.

At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, the west wind is howling in winter, but the trees in the mountain are still verdant and lush.

The white-clothed swordsman stood on a boulder, guarding the only way for the Qingcheng faction to descend the mountain. At a small noodle restaurant on the side, all the open-air seats were full of diners at dinner time, all of whom were handymen in the coal mines near Qingcheng Mountain. The proprietress Widow Li is busy mixing noodles and cooking noodles, and her five or six-year-old son will soon help her add firewood to the stove.

"Huzi come, send him this bowl of noodles, be careful to burn it. Widow Li looked at the tall man in white who was standing with a sword in his hand, and handed the bowl to her son's hands.

"Uncle, this is the ...... my mother wants me to give you" Huzi held the noodle bowl and raised it carefully, seeing that the man in white didn't pay attention, he put the bowl on the big stone and raised the volume again, "Uncle...... Uncle, this is what my mother wants me to give you!"

The man in white finally looked down at him, and without speaking, he looked up at the other side of the road.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

"Wait for someone!" the man in white said in a cold tone.

"You've been waiting for a long time, why hasn't the person you're waiting for come yet......" Huzi's immature voice asked.

"Go back!"

"Oh," Huzi turned around and went back to the noodle shop.

It was getting dark. "At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. Huzi was sitting at the wooden table in the hall reading when he suddenly saw a man in white appear at ......the door.

"Mother, uncle is here!" Huzi ran to the side and grabbed the sleeve of Widow Li, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Is there any noodles for sale?" The man in white turned his face, and although his tone was light, there was a rare hint of friendliness.

"Yes, yes, you can sit down for a while, and you'll be fine right away" Widow Li glanced at each other, and quickly lowered her eyes and turned around to the vat by the wall to get flour.

"Uncle, are you waiting for someone here?" Huzi put down the old book in his hand and asked in a childish voice, and the man in white sitting across the table just shook his head expressionlessly.

"Then your friend is really, he didn't come after waiting all day......"

"He's not my friend, maybe he's already here. ”

"It's already here, so why didn't he come out to see you?"

"He'd come out of nowhere when I'm not paying attention. ”

"Oh, I see......" Huzi nodded as if he didn't understand, and looked thoughtfully at the five-foot long sword.

Qingcheng Mountain rained heavily overnight. On the bed in the room of the noodle shop, Widow Li was lying on her side with her son in her arms, tightening the futon for her son with her hands, and her eyes were from time to time through the cracks in the loose wooden door, paying attention to the white figure sitting in front of the table in the hall room with lightning flashing from time to time......

At a yellow mud slope fifty miles outside Tuzhong City, Xiahou Zhan glanced around, grabbed the reins of the horse, and raised his left hand to signal the group to stop.

"Lord, what's the matter?" Deputy General Zhang Lice immediately stepped forward to ask for instructions, only to see Xiahou Zhan's expression grim, and he gestured to look up at the muddy slope grass not far away.

Suddenly, about fifty snow wolf soldiers armed with scimitars, dressed in velvet shirts, crotch pants, and long leather boots, burst out of the grass on the broken slope.

"Hahaha...... It's finally waiting for you!" There was a burst of arrogant laughter, and a sturdy snow wolf soldier jumped down with a mace on his back, as if he were the leader. Immediately following him jumped down was a thin man with a long whip, dressed in a black robe, and a goatee, dressed as a native of the Central Plains. Other soldiers also swarmed to surround them.

"I didn't expect that we were traveling so secretly, and we were discovered by the wolf soldiers so quickly. Xiahou Zhan and his entourage all jumped off their horses.

"Lord, that's the Soul Chasing Whip, it's the master of the Barberry Sect!" the veteran Du Kai came up and pointed to the goatee.

"General Xiahou, I have been ordered to wait here for a long time, today you honestly go back with us and hand over the treasure map of the Qilin Treasure, which will not only save the lives of these people behind you, but also avoid a catastrophe. is the so-called way of viewing the sky, the journey of holding the sky, you have to think clearly!" The goatee stepped forward and shouted, looking very high in terms of himself.

"The purpose of my trip to Xiahou Zhan is to avoid the misery of life, and I have already put life and death aside. As a Han from the Central Plains, you came to seize the treasure map of our Han people on the orders of the wolf clan, isn't it a scum move to put the people of Dashun in fire and water?" Xiahou Zhan asked him sharply.

"Despicable and shameless people can always say some high-sounding fallacies!" said Xiahousha spitting at the goatee.

"Lord, I don't need you to make a move, a few of us have cleaned up this mess for you!" said the veteran Du Kai in a loud voice.

"In that case, give it to me!" the strong mace man ordered, and he rushed over to kill.

Xiahou Sha held Xiahou Zhan and stood in place, one of the remaining nine people guarded it, and the other eight people immediately attacked it. Although they are outnumbered, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they can also be ten against ordinary soldiers.

Du Kai and Zhang Zhang took the lead in rushing to kill. Du Kai used a double hammer, and with a move Tianshan Avalanche, the two snow wolf soldiers in front of him were crooked, and he jumped forward, and cast a trick of wind and frost shattering shadow in the air, and the three who came up to him were swept out by the hammer!

"Abominable...... Hey!" Seeing that his men were easily defeated by Du Kai, the leader of the strong man charged and attacked with a mace, and this stick was powerful and heavy.

Du Kai's body flexibly went to the side, so that the mace swung into the air and smashed on the ground and could not be retracted in time, and then from the side of the strong man leader, a move of the double dragon went to sea and easily hit, the left hammer took the soft rib of his abdomen, and the right hammer took the back of the head.

The tension made a double hook, and after taking down the two snow wolf soldiers with one move, he opened and closed left and right and charged directly towards the goatee.

Seeing that the double hook was menacing, the goatee knew that it was powerful, so he immediately jumped back two steps, and threw a whip with his right hand at the same time, pointing at the stars to fight back at the double hook that was in hot pursuit. The tension rolled on one side, hehe smiled, and with a poisonous scorpion to catch the snake, he directly bit the long whip with a double hook.

"Oh? no...... Ah......h

"Bah, self-defeating dog thing!" the goatee fell to the ground, apparently dying, but Dukai was still unrelieved. Xia Housha opened her eyes and raised her head when she heard the sound, but she still couldn't bear to see the patches of scarlet on the ground.

The snow wolf soldiers saw that the two leaders were finished, but the other party was unscathed, and the remaining two dozen people fled in a hurry.

"Don't chase! It's getting late, we have to get into the city as soon as possible. Xiahou Zhan stopped a few retainers who were about to pursue, and then motioned to help Xiahou Sha get on his horse.

At the time of unitary, ten miles of bamboo forest outside Tuzhong City, Xiahou Zhan and his party rode fast horses into the depths of the forest. Suddenly, the two horses galloping in front of them tripped over the ropes that suddenly bounced up, and the first reaction of the two retainers was to jump high from the horse's back, but countless sharp bamboo pieces were shot around at the same time, and there was no way to evade the defense in the air, and they were killed by arrows in an instant!

Seeing this, Xiahou Zhan and the others immediately dismounted, and the retainers protected Xiahou Zhan and Xiahou Sha in the inner layer, and drew their weapons to stand on guard. Suddenly, a gust of mist came with the cold wind, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the forest. Unbelievable, the falling bamboo leaves actually exuded a murderous aura, and the clothes on the bodies of several retainers had many more cuts, and several people on the outside even had several more bloody cuts on their faces, and they couldn't help but let out a painful sound, "Hmm...... Ah......h

"Hmm—this wonderful pain! struggle—like a worm on a fireplace!scream—the most beautiful tune in the world...... Hahaha...... "A woman in a willow leaf fluttering pale green brocade skirt, from ten zhang away in the dense forest, a blood-colored red lip smiled madly, step by step, her long hair was only tied back with a white ribbon, her right hand crossed her waist, her left hand fiddled with a strand of hair hanging down her forehead, her tone and tone were like a goose call, like a night owl or even like a cicada, extremely weird!

Xia Housha had never seen such an evil woman, as if the miserable words in her ears were not made by people! She bit the trembling fingers of her right hand and pressed it against her father's broad back......

"This girl, my lord and my young lady are going to Jiangnan to do business, passing through your place, not having time to visit, the etiquette is not thoughtful, there are many offenses, please make it convenient, give me a way, I will thank you in the future." Du Kai stepped forward and hugged his fists.

"Hahaha...... You can't escape! Taiping Dao, Taoism and Taoism depend on each other! Not to mention that Xiahou Zhan's head is worth five hundred taels of gold!" The ghostly voice of the mad man sounded again, and at the same time, the cold wind did not stop, and the rustling of the bamboo forest rose again.

Xiahousha's legs began to tremble, hiding her whole face behind her father.

"Ah, what a boldness!" the two Xiahou Zhan's retainers scolded angrily in unison, and rushed over with their swords.

The ghost woman's chin was only slightly raised, her eyes flashed with green light, a front space churned, and a four-foot soft sword had appeared in her right hand at some point. With a little bamboo tree on her right foot, the ghost girl accelerated in the air and flew towards the crowd.

"Ahh It's the soft sword of "Woo Lili" again, and these two retainers fell in response!

"Flesh—it's a prison for your fallen souls!" the ghost's voice rang out, and she crouched down about three feet in front of her, slowly standing up, and licking the blood from her soft sword with her long red tongue. Suddenly, her eyes stared straight at Xiahou Zhan, her feet accelerated, and the soft sword creek rattled!

"Taiping Dao Zheng II!" Xiahou Zhan looked back, his right hand dragged back Du Kai who was blocking in front of him, and the thumb of his left hand popped out the Demon Drinking Knife, and shot out in an instant. The Demon Drinker Knife came out of its sheath, and a crushing murderous aura swept up the fallen leaves all over the ground, and when they recovered and slowly fell, Xiahou Zhan had already passed by the ghost girl, and there was no sound of swords intersecting, and there was no sound of wind......

"Death—it's so easy......" The ghost girl spat blood and fell to the ground, whimpering with her last line......

"Daddy......" Xiahou Sha breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Demon Drinking Knife returned to its sheath, and trotted to her father's side.

"If this continues, we won't be able to move an inch. In this way, the five of us will divide into two roads, Du Kai and Zhang Li, you two will go to Yangzhou first, and you can arrive at Mazhou to see Feng Fu in five days; since they are all looking for me, then I will walk into Tuzhong City with Sha'er and Uncle Xiao, disguise ourselves and go straight to Xinjing Jiankang. Ten days later, you and Feng Fu will meet us at the Zhongshan War God Shrine to discuss the matter of entering the palace to face the saints, and then we will clean up those heartless and boneless scum, and then find the Hu clan and the wolf clan to settle the account!" Xiahou Zhan looked at the few people left, regretful and impassioned.

"But, my lord, ......"

"What, aren't you worried about me?" Xiahou Zhan interrupted Zhang Zhang and said worried words, wanting him to set off with peace of mind.

"Okay lord, let's go together!" Du Kai also pulled the tension with his hand and hugged his fist at Xiahou Zhan.

Watching the two veterans get on their horses and go away, Xiahou Zhan swept the corpses of the dead retainers on the ground, and then glanced at the special tattoo on the arm of the ghost girl's corpse, his brows were tightly locked, as if there were unsolved doubts.

The next morning, in the guest room of the Jiangbei Inn in Tuzhong City, Xiahou Sha held Xiahou Zhan in her arms, everything was ready, and she was ready to set off.

"Ahem, cough, cough" Wang Xiaobo entered the door with his burden on his back, coughing and saying, "Lord, Miss, let's go, cough cough cough ......"

"You're injured and cold!" Xiahou Zhan grabbed a slight vein in his left hand and said with concern.

"Blame me for not having enough skills, I was cut in a few places by bamboo leaves, and I didn't sleep well last night and contracted a cold. The lord can't delay the trip because of this, I can still hold on...... Ahem, ahem. Wang Xiaobo looked weak.

"It's not too late to set off when you're well," Xiahou Zhan patted him on the shoulder, "I'll go buy medicine, Sha'er, you take care of him......"

"Dad, I'd better go. I'm a daughter, and it's not easy to attract the attention of the killer," Xia Housha pulled her father's sleeve with a step, "I'll bring some dry food back by the way, so I can continue on the road." ”

"But Miss ......"

"Don't worry, this place is just a river away from Xinjing Jiankang, and I don't think anyone will recognize me. Xia Housha was full of confidence that she could do this little thing for her father.

"Well, Sha'er, then you have to be careful. Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father, Xiahou Zhan nodded and agreed.

"Dad, I will, then I'll go out. Xia Housha grabbed a girl in red rag doll and went out excitedly.

Xia Housha hugged the rag doll with both hands, walked on the street and looked at the bustling and lively scene, couldn't help but smile, jumped to look at the clay dolls, touched the flower lanterns, and inquired about the nearby pharmacy by the way.

"Ahh

It turned out that not long after entering the city the evening before, Xiahou Zhan saw that she had been staring at the stall when she heard the vendors selling rag dolls, so she bought it on purpose. For so many years, this is the first time Xia Housha has received a gift from her father, so she can't put it down, so she deliberately took a needle and thread with the shopkeeper, rushed to make it overnight, made a money bag in the rag doll, and collected her only few ornaments and a few silver tickets.

"Girl, do you want to buy medicine?" asked the pharmacy shopkeeper when he saw her enter.

"I ...... I ...... "Xiahousha has no bottom in her heart, and she is hesitant."

"You're going to have bone-setting and gold sore medicine, right?" the shopkeeper asked, glancing at her broken hand.

"yes...... Yes, other than that, I would like to ...... The medicine for the treatment of wind and cold......"

"Yes, yes. The shopkeeper nodded, ready to grab her medicine.

"Shopkeeper, I'...... I don't have any money on me, and someone has just stolen all of my coils...... Can you give it to me on credit first, and I'll definitely find a way to pay it back to you...... You must believe me......" Xiahousha pleaded.

"No, no, no, you are a new face, we only give credit to regular customers, you better go back and get the money first, or go to other pharmacies to ask!" When the pharmacy shopkeeper heard that she didn't bring any money, he immediately had an expression of chasing flies and waved his hand.

Xia Housha walked on the street dejectedly, blaming herself for being so useless, not being able to do a little thing well, why she was not a man, so that she could go into battle with her father to kill the enemy and do great things to protect her family and defend the country.

"Hugh washes red, washes more red and light. Do not hesitate to sew clothes, remember the first press of Qian. How long can a hundred years of life be, and then the bride is now a mother-in-law......"

Xia Housha passed by a restaurant, and just as the sound of musical instruments and singing came out, she stopped and looked inside.

"Yes, good singing, come on...... Come on...... I've given you this silver, oh, Xiao Nizi's hands are so slippery...... Hahaha"

"Grandpa, this silver is enough for us for several days. ”

It turned out that it was a pair of grandfathers and grandsons who were singing to the diners, and after watching them happily leave in front of her, Xiahousha hesitated for a moment and was about to decide to leave.

"These five hundred taels of gold are not easy to earn......"

"Hey, as long as you get that Xiahou Zhan's treasure map, and dig up the treasure, you will be rich"

"I'm afraid that you won't have your life to enjoy when the time comes, and the whole rivers and lakes will come to you to settle accounts!"

"You said that traitor is hiding in Tibet, will he have dug up the treasure himself?"

"That kind of man-made disaster to the country and the people, even if he gets gold and silver, he is like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats!"

"I heard that his daughter is very good-looking, if you catch her, don't want the five hundred taels of gold, hahaha......"

......

Hearing that the diners in the restaurant were chatting after dinner, they were all indistinguishable from black and white, insulting their father, Xia Housha wiped her tears, turned around and walked into the hall slowly, she wanted to hear what more ugly things they had to say.

"Guest, do you want to listen to a song?" said Xiahousha softly to the diners around her as she came to a few full seats.

"Oh, the girl looks like a sign, and she can sing! I'll pay twenty taels, you can sing Lu Bu play mink maid to meha......" A fat diner teased obscenely.

"Hahaha, okay, okay" Everyone coaxed, Xia Housha was angry, bit her lower lip and turned around to leave.

"Hey, girl, don't go, you can sing whatever you want, we will definitely listen to you. Another diner hurriedly said.

"Sing, sing, ......," the obscene fat diner said, while placing a silver ingot on the table.

Xia Housha turned around, gently held her right hand with her left hand, bowed her head slightly, and sang:

"The west wind besieges the city, who allows him to knock on the door with acacia, after several red dust, the small years are slightly painful, the past is one after another, vowing to wait for one person! Time has not asked, omission of us, why is the love deep, the more than a thousand mountains to visit the ancient road ruts? thousands of miles of square inches, tossing and turning in the world, the past three thousand, how to support? The leaves are difficult to find roots, I am afraid that there is no room for hatred ......"

A song of the west wind asked, and the song was clear and dusty, like the sound of heaven echoing in the hollow valley! All the eyes of the diners were focused on her, and even the shopkeeper listened to this beautiful tune with a tray of dishes.

Not only that, but her singing also attracted a person who happened to pass by, a man who was going to change her life, and he was Wen Taizhen. Just when she sang the first line, Wen Taizhen had already fallen deeply, a pair of thick eyebrows tightened, holding her breath and admiring the story in the song, admiring this girl with bruises on her hands, but she was stubborn and lovable.

"What a good singing!" the crowd admired.

"Okay, these twenty taels are yours!" the lewd fat diner nodded.

At the same time as Xia Housha reached out to take the silver, the obscene fat diner instantly grabbed her hand, "Silver, I have it, if you are willing to spend candles in the cave room with me, hahaha......"

"Don't go, girl, hahaha" The three people who were eating at the same table coaxed and helped the obscene fat man intercept Xiahousha who wanted to escape.

"Don't come, don't ......" Xiahou Sha was forced into a corner, there was no way to retreat, she held herself tightly with both hands, and begged weakly.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a loud and powerful voice came from outside the door.

"Who?" the lewd man and the others shouted impatiently.

I only heard the whistle of "hoo hoo hoo", which was the tune of the song sung by Xia Housha.

Xia Housha also looked at it curiously, a young man about seven feet eight tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes in his early twenties, was walking slowly.

"It's the most smelly and beautiful ...... Phew, the most handsome young man, we didn't know you were also here......" Several lewd men looked timid, "Yes, yes, if you like it, I'll give it to you, hehe, hehe......"

"Okay. Wen Taizhen frowned tightly, clasped his chest with both hands, glanced at a few people with round eyes, and replied calmly.

When Xia Housha heard this, she was afraid of another incident, so she walked out of the corner, lowered her head and wiped Wen Taizhen's left shoulder, and ran out through the crowd.

"Girl, girl, stay!" Wen Taizhen turned and chased after him.

Xiahousha stopped and looked back at him. Wen Taizhen untied her scarf and stepped forward to gently grab her right hand, snorted at the abrasion, carefully bandaged it, and then groped in her arms, took out the only silver ingot on her body and put it in her palm, then gently closed her hand, smiled and nodded, and asked gently, "Girl, you sing so beautifully, what's that song called?"

"My mother taught me, called Zephyr to ask. Xiahou Sha looked at the scarf and silver ingot, slowly withdrew her hand to her chest, turned around and turned back, mustered up the courage to ask with a smile, "Shaoxia, what is your surname?"

"The surname is Wen, he is Wen Taizhen, haha......" The lady who sold vegetables next to her gave a thumbs up and smiled, as if she had seen through everything.

She looked at the eldest lady and nodded slightly, then at Wen Taizhen, who had a gentle expression, turned around and ran away, like a happy bird.

In the afternoon at the Jiangbei Inn, Xiahousha was decocting medicine, she haggled the abrasions on her right hand, and continued to use the medicine pot in her left hand to lightly fan the fire.

"Sha'er, is the medicine decoctioned?" Xiahou Zhan seemed to notice something.

"It's almost ......"

"Do you need Daddy's help?"

"No need, I'll feed Xiaobo medicine in a while!" Xia Housha hid her right hand behind her.

"Hmm......" Xiahou Zhan nodded, looking at his daughter's left hand fan, with a faint trace of worry on his face.

In the evening, Xiahousha took Wang Xiaobo's knife and clumsily used it in the backyard, which were a few actions of his father when he practiced knives in the past.

"Hah!hey!ha...... Ah......h Unexpectedly, when she looked up and got up, she found that Xiahou Zhan was standing in front of the courtyard and paying attention to herself.

"Dad, I'll go back to the house first. Xia Housha lowered her head and walked over and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

"Daddy...... You know everything......" Xiahousha looked up at her gray-haired father and sobbed softly.

"As soon as you come back, Dad will know, I just want to wait for you to tell me what happened and what grievances you have suffered outside. Xiahou Zhan's expression had always been serious, but at this time it was a relaxed and loving tone.

"Dad, it's all my own fault, as soon as I go out, I let people steal the money, and I am bullied......" Xia Housha couldn't suppress it anymore, her eyes were full of tears, and she poured out all the grievances in her heart to her father, "Fortunately, a young man stood up for me and gave me two silver taels, so that I could buy the medicine back......"

Xiahou Zhan gently wiped away the tears on his face for his daughter, carefully grabbed her injured little hand to check it, then looked at her eyes, and said comfortably and gently, "Daughter, you have really grown up! You are sensible and filial, and you can endure humiliation and burden, Dad is very happy!"

"Daddy......" Xiahousha instantly threw herself into her father's arms and sobbed softly, and the scene of sending her father off five years ago came to mind:

Her mother took her hand and followed her father, walked to the courtyard gate and leaned over to her, "Sha'er, come and tell Daddy, 'Everything is going well'." Father turned around and looked at her expectantly, but she blurted out, "No, my father promised me to spend more time with me and my mother, but he is going out again......" After saying that, he turned around and ran back into the house, and then peeked through the crack in the door. My mother was coughing very badly, and my father was worried, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine, you go to do something big, come back early!" In order to avoid his father's worries, his mother barely supported him, and finally lost his strength after watching him get on the horse and go away......

"Don't cry, hurry up and freshen up, I heard that there is a lantern festival on the bank of the Qilizhou River tonight, can Dad go shopping with you?"

"Hmm......" Xiahousha gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and agreed obediently.
