Regarding the origin of the name of Li Ziba, in fact, when she was a child, Qin Qing'e asked her parents why this Li Ziba obviously has no trees, why is it called Li Ziba.

Here is a legend that is familiar to the people of Ba County.

A long time ago, there was no one living in this area of Liziba, because the terrain was too steep, there were many stones, and there was little soil, so no one cultivated crops in this area. Later, a person named Mi Gui fled to Ba County because of the flood in his hometown, because there were no relatives to take refuge in Ba County, Mi Gui could only find a way out to make a living by himself. But he didn't know anything but farming, and after searching in many ways, Mi Gui came to the area of Liziba.

I originally wanted to plant some wheat here, but later I found out that the soil fertility of this land was not enough at all.

Just when he was extremely depressed, he suddenly heard a sparrow in the tree calling "Li Gui, Li Gui" and spit something out of his mouth. Migui buried the thing in the soil, and immediately a small sapling grew in the ground, and the sapling grew when it saw the wind, and it bloomed on the second day, and it bore fruit on the third day, and the fruit ripened on the fourth day. Migui collected the pits and named the never-before-seen fruit "plums". Later, plum trees were planted all over the area, and the plum dam was named after it.

But why doesn't there be a plum tree in the current Liziba, this is another place name outside Daba County, that is, Niujiaotuo.

And the reason why there is a connection between the two place names of Li Ziba and Niujiaotuo is that there is another character involved in the legend - Taishang Laojun.

Legend has it that the local people think that the plums from this plum dam are too delicious, and inadvertently put the plums on the stove king's platform, and the stove king dedicated these plums to the queen mother, the queen mother felt that such delicious plums should also be in her own peach banquet, so she sent Taishang Laojun to communicate with the world, so that people can pay tribute to plums.

Taishang Laojun thought to himself, if this fruit is called a plum, this plum should be planted by a person surnamed Li, and it should be a family member (Taishang Laojun's real name is Li, Ming'er), Taishang Laojun also felt that there was light on his face, and he bragged in front of the Queen Mother, but who knew that it was a big oolong.

After listening to Mi Gui's story, Taishang Laojun's intuitive face was gloomy, and he returned to Laojun's cave in a fit of anger to avoid people. But Lao Jun was in too much of a hurry to get angry, and forgot to bring back his mount, the green bull. The green cow couldn't wait for Taishang Laojun, so he took the plum tree to be angry, destroyed this plum forest one after another, and then ran to the area of Niujiaotuo to continue to destroy.

This area of Niujiaotuo is not called this name, but it is just a ferry port outside the city. The green cow was destroyed at the ferry, and the residents of the ferry were panicked and did not dare to stay any longer. However, the people are gone, the ferry is deserted, and the cattle are still there.

Niujiaotuo is the only way out of the city to Hezhou, Qingniu has been making trouble here, causing trouble to many merchants in Ba County. And the god Erlang who was enshrined in Guan County heard the news that the green cow was messing with the mortal world, and came here, and after subduing the green cow, he turned the green cow into a stone cow statue.

This stone cow statue is the origin of the name of the current cow horn tuo, one is because there is a giant stone cow statue built at an unknown time, and the second is because the abandoned ferry land is like a cow horn inserted into the Jialing River.

There are no plums on the plum dam, and there are stone oxen on the horns. This sentence is also a common saying that has been passed down in Ba County for a long time, and it is basically used to describe no matter how bizarre things are, the reasons for what may happen are very ordinary.

Ordinary is not ordinary, whether there are plums or not, Qin Qing'e didn't care anyway, she ran to her who had nowhere to go, looked at the Jialing River rushing under her feet, looked back at Xi Murong who had already rushed over, and shouted loudly.

"Don't come here, come again, I'll throw it down. "It's the ghost face that I'm holding in my hand.

Xi Murong was in a hurry, his heart was anxious, and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't be impulsive, if you have something to say." ”

"Don't move, or I'll throw it away. ”

Xi Murong nodded again and again, retracted the right foot she stepped out of, and the thoughts in her heart were flying, she was really afraid that Qin Qing'e would jump off the river if she couldn't think of it. She and Chang Ming put so much effort into recovering this ghost face, if they can't get the ghost face back, they may lose a lot if they can't change Qin Qing'e.

"Good sister, you see if this will work. Give me the ghost face, and I'll spare your life. At this opening, Qin Qing'e directly scolded angrily: "Beast, my mother was killed by you, will you let me go? ”

Xi Murong smiled awkwardly, his mind spun quickly, and said, "In that case, to be honest, I have long seen that Chang Ming is not pleasing to the eye." In fact, he wanted to take away your family property at the beginning, and it was also his suggestion first. You give me back the ghost face, and I'll go back and kill Chang Ming. We two sisters, just one article and one martial arts, you do business, I am your bodyguard, and no one will dare to touch your family's bad years after keeping it. ”

Qin Qing'e was also frightened by Xi Murong's exaggerated proposal, she didn't expect that this Xi Murong could actually betray that Chang Ming, and she was also surprised. Xi Murong saw that Qin Qing'e's face had changed, and he was happy in his heart, and continued to persuade.

"Don't you think it's right, good sister, do you think we women actually need men to protect it, think about your two husbands, is it better not to have them. You must know that we women will get old after all, and when we get old, those stinky men will definitely dislike us for being old and decrepit, and they will definitely go out to dip flowers and twist grass. ”

"But if you think about it the other way, if we women are rich, why don't we find a few pretty young men to raise them and let us do it. As long as we have money, don't men change casually? Good sister, do you see if what I said makes sense? And ah, I don't want much, just split the account fifty-fifty...... No, no, no, you're six, I'm four. ”

"Nope. ”

"Hey, then you're seven and I'm three. ”

"Nope. ”

"You can't score 28 points, it's too little. Xi Murong said with an embarrassed face, and his feet actually moved a few inches away.

"What I'm saying is impossible!" Qin Qing'e shouted with blood-red eyes and gritted teeth. "You plotted to murder my late husband, to take my property, to kill my mother, and to tell me how to divide the money, you two evil spirits, remember, one day someone will come to clean you up. Qin Qing'e gritted her teeth after speaking, and the whole person fell backwards.

"Don't!" Xi Murong didn't expect Qin Qing'e to suddenly be anxious, rushed forward, jumped over, and failed to catch it. Seeing Qin Qing'e falling towards the Jialing River at a rapid pace, Xi Murong didn't think much about it, and threw the long sword in his hand as a dart and threw it hard.

The long sword stabbed into Qin Qing'e's chest as she fell, splashing a trace of blood.

With a "poof", Qin Qing'e fell into the river and splashed a large splash. Xi Murong watched the water waves slowly disappear, nothing floated, so he could only stand up helplessly.

Qin Qing'e was hit by her own long sword, coupled with the turbulent water of the Jialing River, and there were cliffs and cliffs for dozens of miles around, Xi Murong thought that Qin Qing'e would definitely die, so he could only give up, turn around and leave.

"I had no idea of living, and I thought I was going to die. Who knows, in the end, it still survived. Qin Qing'e finished talking about everything and shook her head.

Tang Xiu'er and Guo Xiang glanced at each other, their hearts were indescribably surprised and uncomfortable, surprised by the big drama of this holiday moon double absolute, the dove occupying the magpie's nest, and the discomfort was naturally because of the injustice for this series of bizarre encounters encountered by Qin Qing'e.

"When I woke up, I realized that I had been picked up by my master. My master is an old Taoist priest, he happened to be fishing on the Jialing River that day, and happened to meet me floating on the river, so he brought me back to Mount Emei, his small Taoist temple. ”

When Guo Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but shout hello to the old Taoist priest who saved Qin Qing'e.

"You led us to that house just to tell me all this, but to be honest, I didn't expect that there would be such a story in our family's tea book, to tell you the truth, I can't help you if you talk about these things. Tang Xiu'er said that she actually understood when she heard Qin Qing'e tell the Qin family's Qin Xiang Tea Record, why did the other party want to bring herself here.

Guo Xiang naturally didn't understand that this matter could be related to the Tang family, so she asked Tang Xiu'er.

"The current tea business in Ba County is all Tang Xiang Cha Ji, this Tang Xiang Tea Ji is naturally our Tang Men business, although I don't care about the business, but I also know that this tea Ji is our Tang Men acquisition. Tang Xiuer explained to Guo Xiang that it was Tang Xiuer's uncle, Ye Wufeng, who came forward to take over the tea business.

At the beginning, Qin Qing'e's life and death were unknown, and Xi Murong and the two of them naturally took over Qin Xiangchaji's business by relying on the seal. However, the two of them had no ghost faces, so they could only make up a story to explain Qin Qing'e's whereabouts. The reason for this compilation naturally could not be recognized by many shopkeepers of Chaji, and a group of old employees left at that time.

In addition, the two of them really don't know how to operate, although the business of Qinxiang Chaji is huge, but the business in the hands of the two is getting worse and worse, and in the end, the two can only sell the whole Qinxiang Chaji to Tangmen, which can be regarded as a big profit.

"It wasn't us who led you, but when I got to the house, I found you hiding in the rockery. At that time, the hidden weapon hit the rockery and attracted the attention of the two people, so I rescued the two of you in a hurry. ”

Tang Xiu'er and Guo Xiang also didn't expect Qin Qing'e to say that she was not the man in black, which was also strange.

"It's really not you?"

"Although I also know that my family's tea is now owned by your Tang Sect, but your Tang Sect also really spent money to buy it. I didn't think about coming back, and I don't know why you two were in that house. ”

Tang Xiu'er and Guo Xiang were also confused, they all felt that Qin Qing'e had no reason to lie to them, so who was the man in black who led them to the house, and what was it for.

"Is it because you have a grudge against others, I guess I will lead you to that house, so that I can harm you. ”

These words sounded reasonable, Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er both nodded, and suddenly the two of them looked up in surprise, because the voice that spoke just now was not Qin Qing'e, but a young female voice.

As soon as the two of them looked up, they saw a terrifying man's face behind them, it was that Zhong Kui. The two of them screamed in fright and crawled a few steps in succession.

That Zhong Kui saw Tang Xiu'er and the two laughed instead, it was the immature woman's voice.

Qin Qing'e shook her head helplessly and said, "Ku'er, don't make trouble." Take the ghost face down. ”

Zhong Kui waved his hand and said helplessly: "I didn't mean to scare them. As he spoke, he reached into his face with a hand and ripped off Zhong Kui's face.

Tang Xiuer and Guo Xiang were also stunned when they watched Zhong Kui in front of them turn into a young and lovely ten-year-old girl. This is the first time they have seen the ghost face change with their own eyes, and they can't help but marvel at the magic of this ghost face in their hearts.

You must know that Zhong Kui was only a hand's distance from them just now, and it was really lifelike, as vivid as Zhong Kui in the world. Now this ghost face has become this round-faced, big-eyed ten-year-old girl in front of her, which is really like a myth.

"This is my daughter, called Qin Ku'er, and it was my master who gave him this name. Qin Qing'e stood up and pulled Qin Ku'er over to introduce the two.

Tang Xiu'er and the two nodded first, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Qin Ku'er in unison, "How old are you?"

Qin Ku'er smiled slightly and said, "Eleven this year, I just had my birthday a month ago. ”

Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er glanced at each other, both frowning, according to Qin Qing'e's account, if Qin Ku'er was eleven years old, his father could only be ......

"That's right, Ku'er is my daughter and that Chang Ming. Qin Qing'e's face did not change, but instead stroked Qin Ku'er's head lovingly.

"This ......" Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er didn't know how to reply for a while, Chang Ming and Xi Murong teamed up to seize Qin Qing'e's family property, this Qin Ku'er was actually Chang Ming's daughter, Qin Qing'e's experience was already miserable, plus a daughter born with an enemy, Qin Qing'e's life was too miserable and cruel.

Qin Ku'er had a normal face, and said to Guo Xiang and the two: "It's okay, for me, I only have a mother, not a father." That villain caused my mother to suffer so much, and he was not human at all. ”

After listening to Qin Ku'er's words, Guo Xiang and the two finally felt a little comforted, watching Qin Ku'er hugging Qin Qing'e's waist affectionately, they also thought that it was good that this girl was sensible, and it seemed that they hated Chang Ming to the core.

"Oops, I didn't expect you to be a cheap dad. Suddenly, a sentence came, and Guo Xiang and the others turned back in surprise.

With a bang, I saw two people break through the darkness in the room and step in. It was the sun and the moon, Xi Murong and Chang Ming.

Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er found out that it was no wonder that when they woke up at the beginning, they felt that this room was so strange and looked extremely ethereal, and it turned out that there was a black cloth around this room and put it on the wall.

Seeing that it was Xi Murong and the others, Qin Qing'e hurriedly blocked Qin Ku'er behind her, and Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er were also staring at the two who came in.

After Naxi Murong came in, he kept looking at Qin Qing'e, with a smile of unknown meaning on his face, and said, "I didn't expect you to be really hard-hitting, and you are really alive." But it's okay, if you bring the ghost face back alive, you won't live in vain. ”

Chang Ming had an expression on his face, and said lightly: "Complaining bitterly, right, I'm your father, haven't you come to see your father?"

Qin Ku'er poked her head out from behind Qin Qing'e, stuck out her tongue at Chang Ming, and said: "I don't have a father like you, people like you are not even a person, where is the qualification to be a father, it is enough to be a brute who plays with the heart of a wolf and a dog." ”

Unexpectedly, this Qin Ku'er could do a lot of hard work, Chang Ming was furious when he heard it, and scolded angrily: "Little ghost, if you call Daddy, I may spare your life." In this way, I just got a daughter today, and I'm going to lose it. The long knife in his hand waved, staring at Qin Ku'er viciously.

"Ahh Xi Murong's words smelled of vinegar, and Chang Ming could only smile awkwardly when he heard it.

Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er were stunned, thinking to themselves that you want Murong to hug and hug other young men in front of Chang Ming in that house, and now you actually eat this guy's vinegar?

In the eyes of Guo Xiang and the two of them, they have long lost the favor of the free and righteous couple, and they only feel that the pair in front of them is not only full of evil and bad water, but also behaves bizarrely, which is incomprehensible.
