Volume 1 Chapter 4 Xiao Man

Jin Chongyin thought about it countless times in his heart, the moment he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he must give himself a resounding name, even if it is not as elegant as his father's name "Wanyue", but it must be domineering, such as "invincible**", "superb**" and "peerless**". Unexpectedly, the moment he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he would be greeted by the name "Big Golden Worm".

He didn't want to talk to the girl for a moment.

Jin Chongyin walked forward with his head bored, and the girl chased after him, and asked innocently: "What are the words of your name? Why do you get angry at every turn?"

Jin Chongyin said angrily: "You robbed my things last night, I won't pursue you, you can leave quickly!

The girl snorted angrily and said: "I was kind enough to help you, but you don't appreciate it, I really saw the wrong person!"

Jin Chongyin asked, "Didn't you rob me with your father?"

The girl sneered: "I'll tell you two things, first, that person is not my father at all, and second, he wants to rob you, and I just ...... I just had to help him. ”

Jin Chongyin suddenly forgot to be angry, and asked curiously, "You are not father and daughter?"

The girl said with some sadness: "My own father has died a long time ago, I was adopted by him, and I don't want to think about what has happened all these years." ”

"If you were adopted by him, how could he treat you badly? If he doesn't like you, why should he adopt you?" Sister Mochizuki in the family was adopted by her parents and spoiled to heaven by her parents, and her father was also adopted by the Liang family, and they had a deep affection for each other, and they were a little closer than their own children. So Jin Chongyin scratched his head and couldn't figure it out, she was also adopted, why did the girl live so miserably?

Hearing Jin Chongyin's question, the girl sneered again: "How can you, the son-in-law, understand the troubles of our poor people? He adopted me just to find someone to serve him, and when he couldn't get by, he wanted to sell me to the Qinglou several times, or sell me to some rich old men as concubines." If I hadn't had some fist and kick work, I would have been sold by him a long time ago. Last night he robbed you of your belongings, and I wanted to take it alone, but I couldn't get angry, so I knocked him unconscious while he wasn't paying attention, so I ran back to you. ”

Jin Chongyin listened attentively, he couldn't think of such a tragic thing in the world, and he couldn't help but regret his attitude just now. He said sincerely: "I misunderstood you, you helped me find something, I have to thank you well." ”

The girl immediately smiled like a flower: "Then can I follow you in the future?"

"No, I'm going to the Tianshan Mountains to look for snow toads. The Tianshan Mountains have always been difficult to break through, and it will be dangerous for you to follow me. ”

The girl put her hands behind her back and puffed out her cheeks and said, "I know that you are going to Tianshan, and I also know that you are going to save your father!"

Jin Chongyin asked in surprise: "How do you know? I didn't tell anyone!"

The girl grinned and said, "Don't be nervous, I covered you with a quilt last night when you were stunned." I heard you talking in your dreams, 'Daddy, don't die, I'll go find Snow Toad to save you!'"

Jin Chongyin was right by her, so she said: "You guessed right, I won't hide it from you, I really want to save my father." This is dangerous, and I can't take you with me. ”

The girl said sadly, "I was a young man when my father died, and I dreamed of finding a panacea to cure him, but unfortunately he died before I grew up...... If you don't mind, I can't ......."

Jin Chongyin couldn't see the girl crying the most, he nodded busily: "Okay, it just so happens that we have a companion on the road, but when you get to a dangerous place, you don't want to go." ”

The girl nodded obediently and said, "Okay." ”

Jin Chongyin smiled and asked, "After talking for a long time, I don't know what your name is!"

The girl twisted her braids and looked embarrassed: "I don't have a name, everyone calls me girl." ”

Jin Chongyin frowned: "What is the name of the girl? You have a graceful posture, why don't you just call you 'Xiao Man'!"

The girl knew that Jin Chongyin was praising herself, and she blushed in an instant, so she writhed and ran forward. Jin Chongyin only said that she liked it, and shouted again: "Then I will call you Xiaoman!"

The two laughed for a while, Xiao Man looked at Jin Chongyin's back, and grinned: "This fool is really easy to deceive!"

With Xiao Man's company along the way, Jin Chongyin felt a lot more comfortable, and Xiao Man insisted on calling him "Big Golden Worm", but concealed his life experience. Xiao Man asked about his father's condition, he was very unnaturally vague, only saying that his father was seriously injured when he was young and had a very serious lung disease, and now the medicine for treating lung disease is almost exhausted, and it may not get better, only Tianshan Snow Toad can give it a try.

Xiao Man was smart and clever, and knew that Jin Chongyin had something unspeakable, so he didn't ask anymore. At ten o'clock in the dark, the two passed by Bucheon, and Jin Chongyin deliberately passed by the old house of the Liang family, which was well protected by the imperial court, and even if it was empty for many years, there were still soldiers guarding outside. Jin Chongyin looked at the place where his father and grandmother once lived, and was full of emotion for a while, which caused Xiaoman to be confused for a while.

In addition, Mr. Huang Wenyuan of Bucheon has long since passed his old age and has been removed from the seat of the magistrate. According to his talent, he could be promoted to the state and county, but he was content with the mandate of heaven, even if he couldn't be promoted, he was diligent and honest, and governed Bucheon County very well. After he retired, he was taken to Yuhai Town by the third uncle and third aunt, and he had already left Fuchuan. Therefore, although Bucheon County is of great significance to the Liang family and the Jin family, Jin Chongyin no longer has an old person to visit.

Since this is the case, he and Xiao Man found a random place to live, and continued to walk north early the next morning. The pace of winter is getting closer and closer, Jin Chongyin saw that Xiao Man's clothes were thin, so he bought her a sky blue cloak. He said embarrassedly: "The clothes should have been measured before being made, but now that I am in a hurry, I can only do it." ”

Xiao Man has never received clothes from others, not to mention that the inside of this cloak is made of fine fox fur, and the outside is extremely silky satin, I don't know how much Jin Chongyin spent. She held the clothes in her hands and said to herself that he was such a fool, but she was so moved that it was difficult to speak.

"Why do you treat me so well?" Xiao Man held back for a long time before he asked in a daze.

"Where, where...... You've taken such an adventure with me without hesitation, and there's nothing I can do......"

Xiao Man was about to blurt out "I'm not going on an adventure with you", but he swallowed it stiffly. Carefully dressed, turned around, and asked, "Am I good-looking?"

Jin Chongyin grinned: "It's as good as a fairy!"

Xiao Man blushed again and ran away first. The two of them got two horses in Bucheon City, so that they could run faster. In late autumn, there are not many pedestrians on the official roads in the suburbs, and there are even fewer in the woods. As the two of them rode their horses, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the depths of the woods, and then a sturdy bear swaggered out. Xiao Man was taken aback, but the horse was even more shocked than her, and when it saw the big black bear, it immediately raised its front hooves, and Xiao Man screamed and fell off the horse.

The black bear smelled the scent of its prey and ran over even more excitedly. Jin Chongyin hurriedly reined in his horse, but saw an arrow hit the black bear's buttocks, and it roared in pain and anger and looked behind it.

Jin Chongyin couldn't care about it so much, and wanted to jump off the horse in a dashing manner, but he didn't expect to be tripped by the stirrup and fell into the bushes in embarrassment. The dead branches of the trees in autumn were all frozen hard, Jin Chongyin thought to himself, fortunately he closed his eyes, otherwise he would have been poked blind.

In this situation, he couldn't save the beauty handsomely, and Jin Chongyin could only climb to Xiao Man's side. Fortunately, Xiao Man only scratched the skin on his hand and had no other injuries. Kim Chongyin helped her up and wanted to take her out of this place. As soon as he looked up, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him, ten paces away from them.

"Oily noodles?" Jin Chongyin muttered.

The young man, with a bow on his back, walked past the black bear and even kicked it mockingly. He looked at ease, smiling all the time, revealing a mouthful of large white teeth. He stood beside the black bear and said quite easily: "Brother, don't be afraid, look at it, see how I clean up this blind bear!"

Xiao Man covered his mouth in horror, but the young man rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly, spit into his palm, and rubbed it vigorously. He thought for a while, took off the bow on his back and threw it to Jin Chongyin, then squinted his eyes and said in a tone as light as possible: "Since you want to fight with it in close combat, the bow and arrows will be redundant, and my brother will help me collect them." ”

Jin Chongyin was also anxious and shouted: "Beware, the black bear has stood up!"

The man smiled again, and even leisurely stretched out the index finger of his right hand and shook it a few times with his head, as if to say, "Don't worry, in front of me, this blind bear's combat power is completely scum."

After the young man made the gesture, he turned around easily. But his pupils dilated five times in an instant, and he fell to the ground as soon as his foot slipped, and he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he struggled, and for the first time he knew what it was like to be scared and weak. The black bear had a white feather arrow stuck in his buttocks, and his size seemed to be larger than just now, and he walked step by step, and with each step, a pit would appear on the ground, and the leaves in the forest would fall some, and everything in heaven and earth could feel his murderous aura and anger.

Xiao Man leaned over to Jin Chongyin in fear and asked, "Big Golden Worm, how are your martial arts?"

Jin Chongyin stared at the black bear intently, swallowed his saliva, and replied truthfully: "It's not good." ”

Xiao Man instantly made up his mind, pulled Jin Chongyin's sleeve, and said firmly: "Run!"

Jin Chongyin shook his head: "No, that brother saved us just now, we can't die without help!"

As he spoke, the black bear roared, and Jin Chongyin and Xiao Man trembled. Somehow, Jin Chongyin remembered Uncle Feng roaring in the forest, and he looked like a black bear in front of him.

The black bear stretched out his fat palm and wanted to slap the young man to death. And the young man was lucky enough to dodge, and got up at the moment of life and death, crying and rushing towards Jin Chongyin and the others: "Help!"
