In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ningsu was carrying a plain sword on his back, and there were five hundred taels of silver tickets in his clothes. Turning the long hair back behind her, she reluctantly looked back at the small courtyard that had sheltered her from the wind and rain for more than seven years.

This farewell must have been going for many years, and when I revisited without knowing why, even if the key was hidden in the box, was the tiger head lock on the door rusty and broken?

Xiao Ning Suyu's hand stroked the long sword behind her back slightly, if there was nothing, she seemed to hear the sword scream, and said goodbye to the alley courtyard with her.

There are colorful butterflies fluttering about to fly, fluttering their wings and drifting away with the breeze, and a girl looks back abruptly, accompanied by the sword and jade handle. It was the butterfly that swept Fanghua and wrapped a few strands of hair around the hilt of the sword, or the butterfly deviated from the hilt and stuck to the fluttering broken hair.

Butterflies don't think about cocoons.

opened the door of the shop, those sons and brothers are in the summer, and they will not get up without three poles in the day, they should be the people who usually work, and they are all preparing for the day's needs in the store when the sky is bright.

"Xiao Ning, it's early." Xiao Ningsu took the ladder and stood up to wipe the signboard of "Baoze Armory Shop", and the sister-in-law Gu from the ready-to-wear store next door saw it and came over to help the ladder.

Xiao Ningsu lowered her head and smiled slightly, and replied: "Sister-in-law Gu is also early, I will take advantage of the sun to get up to wipe this signboard, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it after a while." As he spoke, he dipped the rag in water and continued to wipe.

wiped off the bronzing word Baoze, Xiao Ningsu was slightly in a trance, and in a blink of an eye, her father and mother had been gone for more than three years. Day by day, the weapons shop was deserted. When her father was there, she was still a little girl at that time, and she liked to rely on her mother the most, not sitting on the counter to watch the guests come and go, waiting for someone to feed her a piece of candy.

"Beware. Seeing that Xiao Ningsu shook, Sister-in-law Gu hurriedly tightened the ladder and raised her head to remind.

Xiao Ningsu said "um". Over the years, the neighbors have never embarrassed her because she is an orphan girl, she deliberately dotted a lot, but every New Year's holiday, there is nothing to do, there are old neighbors who come to chat with her, send some home-made dumplings, cut new clothes, that is, buy buns, in fact, hers is bigger than others.

The most afraid is that when things are people, they have to go.

There is a lot of gold powder in the armory shop, and there is no place at all, Xiao Ningsu has spent silver to ask someone to gilt the powder in recent years, but it just fell quickly. Later, I simply didn't care.

Carefully dug out all the gold dust in the trench, anyway, no matter whether she succeeds or fails today, she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to come back in this life, so she simply did it neatly.

As soon as she lowered her head, Sister-in-law Gu disappeared, and a white smirk suddenly jumped out, and the stupid bird who got up early came over to offer her courtesy. But Xiao Ningsu is not a bug, so she won't give it to people to eat, and the ladder will have coolies to move in, and she clapped her hands and entered the inner room.

The stove in the inner room occupies most of the land, and in the past few years, Xiao Ningsu has arranged the inner room into a table and two chairs, which is convenient for her to read books and drink tea, and cool off in summer.

Boil a pot of water, add dried jasmine flowers, add a cup of jasmine tea to myself at the end, and pull out the bookmark of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" that I didn't finish reading yesterday, still as usual, a cup of tea is over, and ten pages of the book are finished.

Closing the title page, the book was put back on the shelf, and Xiao Ningsu walked out. I sat down at the counter, buried my head and rubbed my father to make the counter out of mahogany, six or seven years, God knows how much saliva wet this counter when I was dazed.

With a flick of his fingers over the many weapons for sale, Xiao Ningsu put the sword on his back and engraved the weapon in his mind. opened the door and instructed Sister-in-law Gu to look at the shop for the time being, and she went to Zhao's house.

There are still few sons in the window of Baobin Building, and the corners of Xiao Ningsu's mouth move slightly. Such an unbearable "childe", where is it worth my love?

The sun was gradually rising, and Xiao Ningsu had already changed into a white traveler's outfit and put on a white hat in a room in Zhao's mansion. Under the cover of the heavy white veil, and the last cover of the mask, if you don't look at it very seriously, you can't recognize this person as a famous "plain fairy".

The screen in the room was moved to the side, revealing a swarthy secret passage, Zhao Yuanwai held a torch in his hand, and pulled down Xiao Ningsu's hat with his own hands, and said in an inexplicable tone.

"Xiao Ning, you are out here, I will send someone to pretend to be you in the evening, wear a hat and go straight back to your yard, that is, tomorrow morning, those bullshit boys found out that you are gone, this day is enough for you to ride hundreds of miles." ”

Giving the keychain to Zhao Yuanwai, Xiao Ningsu unconsciously reddened her eyes again, she gradually didn't believe how much love there could be between people, and she took refuge in the older generation, and in the end, it was the older generation who was in love and was willing to take the risk to send her away.

The staff spread out the sheepskin map, pointed to the state capital in the north of Zhaojia Town, and said: "Go north along the official road is the state capital, there are many cars and horses, you must be recognized by people when you take the official road, so, Xiao Ning, you go to the southwest, see the willow tree tun and go along the river, ride for two or three days out of Jizhou, then you will be high and let the birds fly." ”

"Remember not to uncover the hat easily, be sure to speak at the throat when staying in the inn, eat the food and eat the stall freshly made, I know that you will use the sword, do not draw the sword until the last resort, say less about everything and see more, just open your eyes and close your eyes in words, don't be angry. ”

Zhao Yuanwai said that Xiao Ningsu choked, sighed secretly, touched a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, opened Xiao Ningsu's backpack and put it in.

"Alas, Xiao Ning, one of my two unsuccessful sons and daughters died early, and the other married far away from the state government, I understand Chen Lian's thoughts, it is enough for you to live your life safely and plainly, my uncle doesn't have much ability, these silver tickets, a total of one thousand taels, you put it away, it will be regarded as the dowry that your uncle gave you in advance, and when you meet the man you like in the future, you can only be despised by your husband if you have silver in your hand. Take it, kid, it's getting late, so let's go. ”

Xiao Ningsu lifted her hat, tears flowed all over her face, even if she was faceless, she also became a flowery face, bowed deeply to Zhao Yuan, put down the fence, took the torch and approached the dark secret passage.

"Xiao Ning, be careful on the road, remember not to come back. The outsider shouted into the secret passage.

Seeing Xiao Ningsu, the firelight disappeared at the end of the secret passage, Zhao Yuan hid the secret passage, moved back to the screen, and sat on the flannel chair, his eyes were a little dazed.

"Old man Chen, as you wish, Xiao Ning is gone. ”

Zhao Yuanwai grinned, as if he remembered that when he was young, several young people were not afraid to go south and north, and they did not forget to appreciate and appreciate beauties from all over the world when they were doing business.

"May she be a phoenix and be the phoenix that competes with the dragon, and be a little finch and chirp on the branches
