Xiaoqiu shook the wicker whip in his hand fiercely, inhaled a warm smell of grass and trees, and made the most important decision in his life.

He only had twelve years of life, and he couldn't grasp the full meaning of this decision, but the residents of Wild Forest Town, who knew him well, knew that this was a stubborn teenager, like a little wolf who had just learned to use his limbs and teeth flexibly, knowing that there was a cliff ahead, and he wanted to rush to the edge to find out, and no one could pull it back.

"I need your help. Xiaoqiu said eagerly, her dark eyes full of anticipation.

In front of him, four teenagers of about the same age were squatting on the grass, looking up at Xiaoqiu blankly, and a little farther away, several herds of livestock were lazily grazing, they were all shepherd boys, and a dozen of the horses were taken care of by Xiaoqiu.

"Do you want to snatch Fangfang?" Da Liang is Xiao Qiu's best friend, with a kind round face, but he doesn't show full support at this time.

"Hmm. It's not a robbery, it's a rescue, Fangfang will voluntarily follow us. Xiao Qiu corrected in an affirmative tone.

"Are you sure?" Da Liang looked at the other three shepherd boys, and he was even more unconfident, "Fang Fang told you personally?"

"No, as you all know, Mr. Qin did not allow me to enter the academy. Xiaoqiu won't lie in front of her friends, "But this is obvious, Fangfang can't ...... It couldn't be ......."

Xiaoqiu was pondering the words, and Daliang's two-year-old brother Erliang continued for him, "Fangfang definitely doesn't want to marry the Shen family, I wish someone would take her away." ”

"That's the truth. Xiaoqiu flicked the wicker whip again, "Let's act tonight, two people are sentry outside, and three people go into the school hall to find Fangfang, it's as simple as that." ”

The four shepherd boys looked at each other, Daliang pushed the straw hat on his head, and said uneasily: "The Shen family is the richest rich man in the town, and most of these cattle, horses and sheep we see are from his family, I think ...... I don't think Fangfang may be reluctant to marry. ”

A black and thin shepherd boy provided evidence for Daliang's opinion, "I heard that Mr. Qin is particularly happy to marry the Shen family, and tomorrow's auspicious day is the one he has chosen. ”

"Mr. Qin is a money fan, he sold Fangfang to the Shen family and received a lot of silver. Erliang said disdainfully, and his hands gestured to a large pile of gold and silver treasures.

The last shepherd boy spoke, "Mr. Qin is not a greedy person, his family is an outsider, and he hopes to gain a foothold in Yelin Town, so he is especially willing to marry the Shen family." ”

"Mr. Qin seems to be a good person, and he even named me. Daliang frowned, trying to remember his official name.

Xiaoqiu was a little anxious, so she simply squatted on the grass, looked at the four partners opposite, and her eyes didn't blink, "We're not talking about Mr. Qin, it's Fangfang, she doesn't want toβ€”who wants to marry a fool?"

The shepherd boys shook their heads at the same time, and Erliang was more inclined to help Xiaoqiu, and then said: "The Shen family is in his twenties, he can't even eat by himself, and he will beat people when he loses his temper. ”

The children of Yelin Town had all seen the eldest young master of the Shen family, and at the same time raised their heads, recalling the scene where they were chased and beaten by him, the black thin shepherd boy added: "Dasha has been running from morning to night, Fangfang married him, and he has to wipe him every day?"

"How's it going?, help?" asked Xiaoqiu, feeling very promising.

But he was disappointed, and when it came to the key issue, the four shepherd boys all retreated, and even Erliang, who had been helping him to speak, lowered his head, as if he was more interested in the ants on the blades of grass.

"Brother Xiaoqiu. Da Liang felt a little guilty, he had never refused any mention from his good friend in the past, but this time it was different, "You're not...... You still think Fangfang is your daughter-in-law, right?"

Erliang and the others lowered their heads to hold back their laughter, and a snorting sound came out of their noses.

Xiaoqiu had a cold face and stuck the wicker into the soft grass, "What I said counts." ”

"Isn't that a joke?" Da Liang whispered, the more stubborn and stubborn Xiao Qiu's gaze became, he softened, although there was a "big" word in his name, he always acted as a follower in front of Xiao Qiu, "Okay, I'll help." ”

"I help too. Erliang excitedly immediately expressed his attitude.

The other two shepherd boys agreed.

"We'll go home as usual, and after dinner, we'll meet on the bridge. Xiaoqiu's heart hit the ground with a stone, and she felt extremely relaxed.

Time flies, and the five teenagers gather their respective grazing animals and return to Yelin Town together, all enthusiastic about tonight's action, and no one comes up with a more specific plan, as Xiaoqiu said, "It's as simple as that."

Out of the woodland, on the small bridge east of Wild Grove Town, their enthusiasm was hit for the first time.

Sitting on the railing of the bridge, Erzhuan spent the afternoon bragging and playing with his friends, waiting for the first decisive battle for power and status in his life: today he wants to prove that he is the leader of a ten- to fifteen-year-old boy in Yelin Town.

Seeing the cows and horses coming out of the forest path from a distance, Erzhuo jumped to the ground, lucked enough, and shouted loudly: "Hey, Xiaoqiu, your daughter-in-law is going to marry my brother tomorrow, will you come to drink the wedding wine?"

These are two very different groups of teenagers.

The five shepherd boys were surrounded by herds of pigs, cows, horses, and sheep, wearing straw hats on their heads, their cuffs and trouser legs were rolled up high, their feet were covered with mud, and their complexions were tanned by the sun.

"Ignore him. In the face of Erzhuo's provocation, Daliang didn't want to fight, he was hungry now, and he just wanted to go home to fill his belly, "Let's take a detour and go to the river." ”

Thinking of the plans for the evening, Xiaoqiu almost agreed to Daliang's construction, but the teenagers on the bridge burst into laughter, which made him change his mind.

Xiaoqiu walked in the front, with more than a dozen horses behind him, and Daliang and the others followed not far behind, they were still a little afraid of the second bolt.

The second bolt is the second young master of the Shen family, he is not stupid at all, he is tall and big, and his slender eyes always warn others in a squinting way: he is not easy to mess with.

Xiaoqiu actually accepted the challenge, and the second bolt was very happy, standing in the middle of the bridge with his hands on his hips, and the five partners lined up on both sides of him, completely blocking the road.

"You're in the way. Xiao Qiu said angrily, and behind him, the gentle herd of horses was blocking the way, and they all stopped, patiently waiting for the problem to solve itself.

Erzhuo has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and said with a smile: "I'm here to send you an invitation, tomorrow your daughter-in-law will be my sister-in-law, you come over and say a few auspicious words, I will ask my father to reward you with a few copper coins." Oops, the invitation, it was still there. ”

The second bolt pretended to touch his body, and his partners laughed, and the flute, who was half a head shorter than him but was equally strong, opened his mouth to help: "Xiaoqiu may have gotten an invitation from Mr. Qin's house, who let Fangfang be his daughter-in-law." ”

The teenagers on the bridge couldn't stand up with a straight smile, and the youngest bald man had just been allowed to join the gang, and he was eager to show his face, pointing at Xiaoqiu and saying, "Your daughter-in-law...... Your daughter-in-law is going to call others her husband, haha, Xiaoqiu......"

Xiaoqiu heard enough, and slapped the body of the jujube red horse beside him, and the jujube red horse was startled and took a big step forward.

For the narrow bridge and the teenagers in Yelin Town, the jujube red horse is equivalent to a behemoth, and the teenagers blocking the road panicked and avoided, and the neatly lined up team dispersed at once.

"Xiaoqiu, this is my horse! you dare to ......" Erzhuo was very angry.

The jujube red horse didn't know who the real owner was, so he jumped out of the bridge in two or three steps, and the horses behind him followed closely, and the teenagers could only cling to the railing by the bridge in fear, watching them pass through the city.

The second bolt would never allow the decisive battle that he had planned for many days to end like this, and the last two horses had not crossed the bridge, he was no longer so afraid, found the gap, and jumped towards Xiaoqiu.

The two teenagers scuffled on the bridge, and a dozen horses turned around on the shore, staring blankly at the scene, quickly losing interest and looking down at the grass on the side of the road.

The second bolt was taller than Xiaoqiu and looked stronger, but he didn't have the upper hand in the fight, and even though his friends cheered him on, he still couldn't take down his opponent immediately.

With a thud, the two teenagers climbed over the bridge railing at the same time and fell into the river.

The river is not deep, just over the waist, but the second bolt is the overlord on the bridge, and when it is touched by water, it is deflated, and Xiaoqiu is as flexible as a fish in the river, completely occupying the initiative.

The two bolt's companions made threats on the bridge, and none of them dared to go into the water to help.

"Ding......

A sound that the teenagers had never heard before sounded in their ears, so sharp that even their eardrums were about to burst, and everyone turned their heads to see a strange adult on the shore more than a dozen steps downstream.

The strange man wears a blue cardigan robe, his head is pulled into a towering bun, a long hairpin is inserted horizontally, a few locks of beard float under his chin, and a long sword on his back, even in the eyes of the most discerning people, he can be regarded as a "fairy wind bone", but in the remote Yelin Town, his outfit only looks weird.

The strange man shook a fist-sized brass bell in his left hand, making a screeching sound disproportionate to its size.

"Who are you, what are you doing in Yelin Town?" Erzhuo asked in a trembling voice while standing in the river, facing a lonely stranger, even an adult, he had never been afraid, but for some reason, the ringing seemed to empty his heart.

Xiao Qiu stood beside the second bolt, silent, he regarded the bell as an enemy, and concentrated on fighting it.

The strange man put down the bell, took out a dull-colored bronze mirror in his right hand, shook slowly in front of the teenagers, and finally pointed to the two teenagers who were wet all over his body, fixed for a while, and asked, "Is it hot?"

He hadn't spoken in a long time, and the voice coming out of his throat was hard and astringent, as strange as the old bronze mirror in his hand.

Xiaoqiu and Erzhuo involuntarily took a step back at the same time, what they were afraid of was not the strange man and his voice, but the dull bronze mirror, a small thing of five or six inches, as if it could cover the entire sky, the sunlight suddenly weakened a lot, the two shook their heads together, they were not hot at all, and they even felt cold on their bodies.

The strange man lowered his arm, but in the blink of an eye, the bronze mirror and the bell were gone, and the expression on his face was slightly relaxed and tired, "Stay away from the demons." He said, turning his gaze and listening as if there was a demon hiding nearby, "Stay away from the demon." He repeated.

The teenagers were frightened, even Xiaoqiu felt flustered, and hurriedly crawled to the shore with the second bolt, his heart was pounding, the sun suddenly became hot again, and the damp clothes were extremely uncomfortable against his body, they didn't care about this, they just wanted to stay away from this strange strange person immediately.

The duel between the two groups of teenagers ended in a hurry, and they hurriedly ran towards the town, and they wanted to sue Lord SΓΉ that a madman had broken into Yelin Town.

The five shepherd boys ran all the way to the edge of the town, and turned back to look at the place where the strange man had stood, and the man was gone, and no one knew how he disappeared or where he went.

"See you in the evening. "Xiaoqiu is the first to get rid of the influence of the stranger, and he still has to carry out the rescue plan that night.
