Ai Qing didn't cry for long, and after a while she wiped away her tears, tied her hair and walked outside

Di Yunfeng was leaning against the door to feed Mu Xueyi rice balls, and as soon as he saw Ai Qing come out, he reached out and grabbed her back clothes, and asked, "Don't you cry after crying for so long?" Then your fate shouldn't be too miserable. ”

Ai Qing glanced at Mu Xueyi and Di Yunfeng, who were tired of being together, revealing a hint of disgust, she opened Di Yunfeng's hand: "Don't worry about it!"

"You are my person now, why can't you take care of it?" Di Yunfeng's hand was like an iron rod embedded in Ai Xue's body, he didn't let go, and he wouldn't let go when the sky fell.

Ai Qing's expression was even more disgusted, she slapped Di Yunfeng's hand, and said, "Worldly, dirty, disgusting, broken sleeves!"

"Poof!" Mu Xueyi couldn't help laughing, whether Ai Qingtong disagreed or not, she reached out and stroked her head and said, "Little girl, I spent two hundred taels of silver to sell you, that is to say, from now on, you will no longer be a little buddy, but my little follower." ”

"The devil believes you!" Ai Qing shouted angrily.

Di Yunfeng took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, unfolded it with a "swish", and wrote in black and white: Pang Ding is willing to transfer the little man Ai Qing to Di Yunfeng, and Di Yunfeng will pay Pang Ding 200 taels of silver for child support, food expenses, and medical expenses that he once took care of Ai Qing......

also stamped with bloody handprints, which is basically in order.

"Shopkeeper Pang, how can he ......" Ai Qing clenched her fists, snatched the deed of sale from Di Yunfeng's hand, and tore it to pieces in a few strokes!

"Alas, what a rebellious child. Mu Xue crossed her waist and sighed.

Di Yunfeng let go of Ai Qing and said indifferently: "No one wants to stay in this kind of place where birds don't, not to mention that you still have no self-esteem and no personal freedom to live, I think you must have a purpose for you to stay, and it is a purpose that cannot be achieved in a short time." ”

Ai Qing bit her lip, how could her thoughts escape Di Yunfeng's eyes?

Di Yunfeng shook his head regretfully and said, "Although I am not very reluctant to tell you the truth of the matter, you will be aware of this kind of thing sooner or later, and you will die sooner or later, and you will definitely die within a year." He deliberately lowered his voice: "As soon as a person dies, everything will come to naught, including your purpose that you can't achieve." ”

Ai Qing was shocked, a visceral fear crept up her cheeks, and her face, which had only been slightly ruddy, turned pale as paper again.

Who is not afraid of death?

It is precisely because people are afraid of death that they will spy on the way of heaven that they have reached immortality.

Mu Xueyi gently tugged at Di Yunfeng's sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "Can't you be tactful? ”

Di Yunfeng deliberately raised his voice: "Fourteen years old or a child? When I was fourteen years old, I ran desperately every day to survive, I was afraid of death, I was afraid of death." ”

Be quiet.

All three waited for someone to speak first to break the silence.

"But the doctor Liu in the town said that I just had a minor illness, and I could get better after resting for a while......" Ai Qing looked at Mu Xueyi in horror, and there was no more tenacity in her dark eyes.

Mu Xueyi's heart ached faintly, staring at her eyebrows, speechless. Di Yunfeng shook his head and sighed, and he didn't have anything to say.

Ai Qing became more and more afraid, she staggered towards Mu Xueyi, and added: "I have more strength than the other two guys, one person can pick up four buckets of water, they all praise me for my good health, I ...... How could I die?"

Di Yunfeng lightly touched Ai Qing's forehead, and said solemnly: "I don't count if you die or not, but I can do it single-handedly if you can live or not, provided that you have to let go of an impetuous heart and put the dust away, such as the hatred in your heart." ”

Ai Qing was very afraid of Di Yunfeng, maybe it was Di Yunfeng's "I will definitely die within a year" that scared her, she flew over and hugged Mu Xueyi's waist, and pleaded: "You are different, you must be different, I knew from the beginning that you were a kind person." You must help me!"

Mu Xueyi sighed lightly: "Then you have to tell me how to help you." ”

"Then you just promised to help me?" Ai Qing raised her head and looked at Mu Xueyi with a clear gaze.

Mu Xueyi said: "It's not okay to hurt the heavens, but it's incumbent on the heavens." ”

"Then you will definitely help me without hesitation!" Ai Qing pushed open the door and pulled Mu Xueyi in, Di Yunfeng wanted to go in, but she stopped her at the door.

Di Yunfeng wondered: "What's the matter? I can't say it? I can also do the right thing for the sky." ”

"You're so ugly, I don't like you. Ai Qing didn't hesitate to put down this sentence and closed the door with a "snap".

Di Yunfeng is actually not ugly, but standing with Mu Xueyi in men's clothes, it can only be quite ugly. He smiled bitterly, what secret could a door close?, so he pricked up his ears, pressed against the door frame, and began eavesdropping.

Ai Qing originally came from a small city called Wuzhou City in the south, is a scholarly family, has a father with both ability and integrity, has a beautiful mother, when she was three years old, a group of robbers broke into her home, one of them made her the most profound, that person does not use weapons, just a pair of thick hands can knock people's brains to pieces.

She saw with her own eyes that the owner of these hands had beaten her father to death, and her mother was so humiliated that she was dying, and she survived with her mother, who had lost her virginity and committed suicide with hatred.

Ai Qing lived at her uncle's house at the age of three, and she never forgot to kill her for ten years, and as she grew up, her body functions also miraculously improved, she had to see farther than others, jump higher than others, react more quickly, and have greater strength!

Thirteen years old

Ai Qing felt that she could take revenge, so she hid from her uncle and embarked on the road of revenge.

The girl does not see the world, and life and death are at stake repeatedly, and after half a year, she finally knows that there is no way to go to the world, and life will be like thin ice. Dressed as a man, you went all the way from Jiangnan to the northwest, trying to find the vicious people in the "lawless zone" that the Tang Dynasty couldn't govern.

"Thunderbolt" Poundin's fame is not small, and there will be no more than three people in the rivers and lakes who can smash people's heads with one palm.

A year later, Ai Qing finally found out the whereabouts of the enemy, but the old rivers and lakes all said that Pang Ding had washed his hands five years ago and no longer asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

If you don't ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, will the debts in the rivers and lakes be written off?

Ai Qing's desire for revenge was unprecedented, and she took a pot of water and a knife and broke into the endless desert alone. There is no doubt that she persevered in the desert for three days, and finally lost to nature, and she fell in the wind and sand, and faintly heard footsteps.

The lucky ones don't deserve to die. After Ai Qing fell into a coma, it happened that the two guys in the inn came back from buying ingredients, and took her to the Huangsha Inn by the way.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and she couldn't imagine that the owner of this inn was the enemy Pang Ding she hated for ten years!

Pang Ding's kung fu skills were among the best in the world, but how could she be his opponent with her ridiculous talent? This is half a year.

Ai Qingmo said that it would take half a year, even if it was ten or twenty years...... As long as Poundin's palm is not rusty, she will not be able to fulfill her wish for revenge, not to mention that she is terminally ill.

The door was opened, Di Yunfeng avoided it, and just crashed into Mu Xueyi's arms, Ai Qing looked at him suspiciously.

"It's still the same taste, it's still the same feeling. Di Yunfeng pouted in Mu Xueyi's arms before raising his head and laughing.

Ai Qing looked at him even more disgusted, and said, "Brother Mu, even if you have a special fetish, why did you fall in love with him?"

Mu Xueyi laughed dryly, nodded Di Yunfeng's forehead and pushed him away, and said, "If you get along with him for a long time, you will find that he is a hundred times better than other men." ”

"Huh......" Ai Qing scratched the goosebumps on her shoulders, turned around and walked downstairs: "I'll go pack up my things and leave here with you." ”

But she had only gone downstairs for two steps, and Pang Ding appeared at the corner of the stairs and greeted Mu Xueyi and Di Yunfeng upstairs: "Two guest officers, Master Wei told you to go down and have breakfast, eat well and hurry." ”

Ai Qing's eyes were full of hatred and anger, but she didn't dare to say it in person, so she could only endure walking down the stairs step by step in her heart, but at this moment, there was a sudden "boom" in her ears, like an extremely fast speed of breaking through the air, and when she reacted, Poundin at the staircase had stopped laughing!

"He's dead, I'm dead. ”

Di Yunfeng walked slowly to Pang Ding, and used his two fingers to tuck out an inch of hair between his eyebrows. After the hair was pulled out, not a drop of blood flowed, and the wound was nowhere to be seen, and Poundin stood motionless, his eyes wide open, and he didn't know what had happened to him.

"Like him, the best criminal officer in the world can't find the cause of death when he comes. Di Yunfeng threw away his hair and walked downstairs with his hands in his hands.

"Well? I didn't lie to you, he's amazing. Mu Xueyi pulled the stunned Ai Qing and walked downstairs.

Ai Qing couldn't believe that the enemy she had hated for more than ten years was killed by a hair, and that was the famous "Thunderbolt Palm" Pang Ding who opened the mountain and the stone!

When Ai Qing passed by Pang Ding's side, she deliberately probed Pang Ding's pulse, and after confirming that Pang Ding was dead, her nose couldn't bear to be sore, and she looked up to the sky and howled: "Dad, mother, Qing'er has avenged you!"

......

......

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is five days later.

Day and night, it takes seven days to get out of the desert with a chariot and horse, which is still with a professional guide and full preparation.

Di Yunfeng waved goodbye to Hu Shang just after leaving the desert, and in order to thank him for his help, Hu Shang specially sent him several large boxes of wine, grape seedlings, and winemaking methods without reservation.

Since Di Yunfeng killed Pang Ding in seconds with "hair into needles", Ai Qing no longer dared to dislike Di Yunfeng, but hid when she saw it, for fear that she would be eaten.

Ai Qing is a very hardworking child, and Mu Xueyi's life is all taken care of by her, but even if she did so, she did not agree to be Mu Xueyi's apprentice, perhaps because she thought Mu Xueyi was more suitable to be her husband...... This is also what she occasionally complains about along the way, "Why does Brother Mu like men?"

Di Yunfeng took these two girls to the south of the Yangtze River, the carriage and horses were slow, and they looked at the scenery all the way, from the northwest to the southwest, from the late autumn of this year to the early summer of this year, the autumn leaves and summer flowers were half a year in a blink of an eye.

This year, the south seems to be in a bit of trouble, and from early winter to early summer, not a drop of rain has fallen from the sky.

Spring is the season of moisturizing things silently, and it is impossible to do it without rain, and people have drained the water in the canals in order to irrigate the crops, and even the Yangtze River, which has a vast basin, has also been cut off.

The scorching heat of summer is coming, and the drought is falling again, and people and animals are not at peace. Famine, corpses, pestilence, riots...... Disasters ensued.

In order to ask for rain, the emperor specially invited to be the national teacher, kneeling and begging for three days and three nights of rain is not allowed, and later the national teacher said that this disaster is not a natural disaster, but a monster "drought" to blame.

As soon as the drought comes out, the dry land is thousands of miles!

For a time, Datang gave rise to a national demon hunt. The emperor also personally wrote a list, saying that anyone who can catch the drought demon will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, no matter what status he has in his lifetime, he will directly worship the three "protectors".

In these years, being a nine-grade sesame official can also reap a lot of benefits, not to mention the three-grade official who His Majesty the Emperor has enshrined.

This kind of beautiful thing of flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix is rare in a hundred years, and those oppressed civilians have a stronger reaction, and they pick up hoes and flat poles one by one and come to the land of demon extermination.

The land of demon removal is in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the riverbed is cracked, and occasionally there are some potholes, and the dead fish are hoarded in the potholes, and as long as the sun is shining, the stench is monstrous.

It's so bad and desolate that it's easy to think of it as a place to get rid of demons.

Di Yunfeng set up the carriage and happened to pass by here.

The water conservancy of the Tang Dynasty extends in all directions, even if there is a drought, it will not be affected too much, the river evaporates out of thin air, the earth cracks, and the absorption of clouds and mist has reached the sky and cannot circulate precipitation, which is indeed a phenomenon of demons.

The carriage drove along the embankment road, and there were little traces of green on the side of the road. Many families sit on the stone dam of the river embankment, the door of every house is open, the yard fence has dried up and collapsed, the old yellow dog hides under the eaves to enjoy the shade, and people sit in a daze at the door, gossiping from time to time, complaining about the unkindness of the world...... In this situation, maybe even the air is depressed.

The carriage rented by Di Yunfeng was very prosperous, because he had to take care of the big girl and the little girl, not to mention that the little girl was seriously ill and couldn't stand the bumps. And to think that such a magnificent carriage appeared on this desolate avenue, it was an extreme scenery, eye-catching but not admirable, and people's eyes were only envy and jealousy.

Ai Qing is still in a simple men's clothes, she lies quietly on the windowsill, walks a way, looks at the scenery, does not speak, and does not make any expressions.

Mu Xueyi was lying in front of another window, looking sadly at the desolation in front of her, she finally couldn't help but say: "Look at that girl, at most as big as Qing'er, everyone is a mother, and she carries a baby on her back." ”

Di Yunfeng's voice came from outside the carriage: "In poor places, girls generally get married early, and as long as they have the ability to have children, they can marry and have children. ”

Mu Xueyi pouted and said, "But she can't support herself, let alone that child." ”

Ai Qing on the side interjected: "The woman is pregnant in October, and before she conceives this child, there should not be a drought here," Speaking of this, she turned her head and said to Mu Xueyi: "Just now I heard a few villagers passing by say that the national teacher calculated the heavenly machine, saying that the monster that caused the drought is in this Yangtze River basin, and now the heroes and heroes from all over the country are running to eliminate the harm, and it is almost time to reach our land, right?"

Mu Xueyi asked, "What's the matter?" you also want to go and see the excitement?"

Ai Qing put her eyes in front of the carriage door, the door curtain was shaking, and from time to time she could see Di Yunfeng's vigorous back, she said slowly: "It's boring to see the excitement, the court has issued an edict, and those who catch the monster will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and they will be directly added to the third grade of the knight!" She herself exclaimed: "That's the third grade, and the court's fortune is hundreds of taels a year, not to mention the oil and water ......"

Mu Xueyi smiled: "What's the matter, could it be that you also want to get involved in catching demons?"

Ai Qing's eyes flickered, and she said embarrassedly: "Where can my three-legged cat kung fu come in handy, I think Di Yunfeng can try it." ”

"Di Yunfeng?" Di Yunfeng turned his head and stepped into the carriage, his sword eyebrows frowned, and there was a hint of reproach in his tone: "How can you call the elders by their names?"

Ai Qing turned her head, she was afraid of Di Yunfeng, so she didn't dare to speak.

"Drive your car. Mu Xueyi pushed Di Yunfeng's head out of the carriage and said, "What about your eldest brother Di, you regard money as dung, and you are not interested in the position of a bureaucrat at all. ”

Ai Qing whispered: "I don't believe that he will refuse to be the emperor." ”

Di Yunfeng's words came from outside the carriage again: "Little sister, Lao Tzu is really not blowing, if I wanted to be the emperor back then, the Tang Dynasty would not be surnamed Li, but should be surnamed Di!"

"You, you...... You keep quiet, this is a big rebellion, and when the official hears it, he will be killed!" Ai Qing tightened her face and hurriedly persuaded.

Di Yunfeng snorted lightly to show disdain.

The carriage went down the embankment, and in the past if you wanted to cross the river you had to go down for half a day to get a bridge, now that the river is cut off, the carriage can drive directly from the dry riverbed to the opposite side, which saves a lot of time.

There is a well by the river, I don't know if it existed early, or it was dug temporarily, in short, the villagers of ten miles and eight towns came to fetch water with pots and pans, and the queue saw only the beginning and the end.

The well is very leaky, it is a big mud pit, as if someone is operating below, the pump for water is quite large, the bucket is put down for a while before it can be stirred, and the water that hits up can no longer be completely regarded as water, the water is mixed with mud, seven points is mud, three points is water. Then there is a special manager to precipitate the muddy water and wait until it is almost "clear" before distributing it to the villagers in line.

"Alas......" Ai Qing couldn't bear to see this miserable situation, and closed the window with a long sigh: "Think about it yesterday, I used three buckets of water in the shower, but they ......"

"This water is indeed too turbid, even if it is boiled, there will be something wrong with drinking it," Mu Xue couldn't bear it, and walked out of the carriageway: "Yun Feng, I think we should still help these refugees." ”

The carriage also happened to stop.

A woman, with a child of two or three years old, knelt down in front of the carriage without saying a word, and the woman did not speak, but the little child bowed to the ground and shouted in a milky voice, "Help us, adults!"

Mu Xueyi's heart hurt at that time.
