Cha Muhe had already started to kill, but after listening to Yelu Ruan's words, he took the knife of a party warrior beside him, drove to Cui Xin, showed a cruel smile, and said, "Little girl, your big brother Bai broke my three fingers, and I will pay for it with your life today."

Cui Xin took a soft breath and said loudly, "If you think that killing me will make your fingers grow again, then do it." With that, she raised her head, bit her lip, closed her eyes, and waited quietly for death to come.
Chamuhe had already raised the big knife, and when the knife fell, he could lift Cuixin's head and go to Yelu Ruan to ask for merit, but after listening to Cuixin's words, he was confused in his heart, and thought: "This little girl has a lot of truth, do I want to kill her?"
Cha Muhe didn't make a move, Yelu Ruan was impatient in his heart, and urged: "Muhe, what are you still hesitating about?" Cha Muhe came back to his senses, shouted, and slashed at Cui Xin's neck with a knife.
Cuixin heard Cha Muhe's voice, knowing that she was going to die today, a burst of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she silently said in her heart: "Dad, mother, after more than ten years, Xin'er can finally come to accompany you." ”
Chamuhe's big knife had reached Cuixin's neck, and suddenly saw the jade pendant she was wearing around her neck, so she hurriedly put her hand away, put the knife aside, and reached out to grab Cuixin's jade pendant. Cui Xin resisted hard, but still couldn't resist. Chamuhe held the jade pendant and asked loudly, "Little girl, tell me the truth, how did you get this jade pendant?"
Cui Xin looked at the jade pendant, her heart was sour, and tears couldn't help flowing out. She seems to have returned to the scene when she was a child, escaping from the Luoyang Palace.
When Cuixin's family was trapped in the Luoyang Palace, they were about to be engulfed by fire, and their father ignored her mother's safety, picked her up and rushed to the palace gate, and when they arrived at a safe place, their father told her: "Xin'er, you must live well, your brother is still waiting for you in the north." ”
Cui Xin was only five years old that year, and she didn't quite understand her father's words, so she only said: "Dad, you have to rescue your mother." His father, with tears in his eyes, kissed her gently on the forehead, turned and rushed back into the fire.
Cui Xin waited at the gate of the palace for a long time, only to see that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and she was so frightened that she cried loudly. She begged the fleeing passers-by to save her parents. The Khitan army had already entered Luoyang at this time, and these passers-by only cared about fleeing for their lives, how could they care about the lives of irrelevant people.
Cuixin was so anxious that she mustered up the courage to rush into the fire to find her parents. As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she was robbed of tears by the smoke rising from the fire. Cui Xin remembered what her father had just said, and sat alone outside the palace gate and wept sadly.
The fire burned all night, and Cui Xin also sat and waited all night. By the early morning of the next day, the palace had been reduced to ashes. At this time, a Khitan guard came over, and when he saw Cuixin squatting on the ground and sobbing, he thought that she was blocking the way, so he swung his whip at her.
Cui Xin was whipped and hurriedly stood up. The guard laughed and cursed indiscriminately in Khitan dialect. Cui Xin couldn't understand his words, but when she saw his majestic face, she was so frightened that she burst into tears.
The guard was stunned for a moment, annoyed and angry, and immediately drew his knife and stabbed it at Cuixin. Cui Xin didn't know how to dodge, her life was in danger, and just at this moment, an old man in his fifties walked over. When he saw the guard's behavior, he immediately stepped forward to protect Cuixin.
When the guard saw this person, he was so frightened that his feet trembled, and he hurriedly threw away the sword in his hand, knelt down and said, "I don't know if the Taishi has arrived, and I miss the welcome, and I hope that the Taishi will atone for his sins!"
That old man is Ji Payou, the teacher of the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, and now he is in the position of Taishi. Ji Baoyou listened to the guard's words, ignored him, turned around and hugged Cuixin, and asked kindly: "Little girl, why did you come here alone, where is your father?"
Cui Xin's eyes widened, stared at Ji Diyou, and said sadly: "Old uncle, my father and mother are dead." ”
Ji Paoyou was stunned after hearing this, held Cuixin's hand, and said: "Little girl, do you have any other relatives? Luoyang has been in chaos recently, you have to remember that you can't just come out and run around, and you will be bullied by bad people if you are not careful." ”
After Ji Baoyou finished speaking, he glanced at the guard, then put Cuixin down, and whispered in her ear: "Little girl, please listen to the old uncle, you leave the palace quickly, this is not the place for you to stay." As soon as he finished speaking, he said loudly to the guard: "Tiger guard, get up! If you kill innocents indiscriminately in the future, the old man will not spare him." ”
The guard's surname is Hu, his name is Pingqiu, and he is a guard in the Khitan Da Nei. Hu Pingqiu listened to Ji Payou's words, and hurriedly apologized: "Taishi, Pingqiu doesn't dare anymore." ”
Although Cui Xin was young at the time, she was already able to distinguish between good and evil, and said, "Old uncle, I listen to you, leave now." After speaking, she reluctantly glanced at the ruins, and saw no sign of survival, so she silently walked towards the edge of the Bianhe River.
Cuixin hadn't eaten all night, and she had long felt hungry, so she walked to the door of a high-rise building on the edge of the Bianhe River, and suddenly felt dizzy, and her feet exerted force, and she fainted suddenly.
When Cuixin woke up, she found herself lying on a white bed, and there was a girl about ten years old in front of the bed, smiling at her. Cui Xin was taken aback, quickly sat up, and curled up to hide at the head of the bed.
That girl's name is Zhai Jingyue, and she is the goddaughter of the proprietress of the Farewell Building. She saw Cuixin wake up, and hurriedly turned around and told her godmother.
A middle-aged woman heard Zhai Jingyue's shout, walked upstairs quickly, and said to Cuixin cordially: "Little sister, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. ”
The middle-aged woman opened her hand to reveal a piece of jade pendant, and Cui Xin immediately reached out and grabbed the jade pendant and held it tightly in her hand. The middle-aged woman said, "This jade pendant was picked up from you, and it seems to be very important to you." ”
Cui Xin nodded, and then said, "This is what my father and mother left me." ”
After hearing this, the middle-aged woman said, "This jade pendant is not owned by ordinary people. Little girl, you must be the daughter of a prince and nobleman, right? Alas, these days, it is not easy to be a prince and nobleman. Now that the armies of the Jin Kingdom and the Khitan are chasing and killing the dignitaries of the previous dynasty, you still stay in the Farewell Building, it is safer here. ”
Cui Xin listened to the words of the middle-aged woman, and remembered that she almost died under the Khitan knife that day, so she nodded and agreed.
Zhai Jingyue clapped her hands on the side and said, "Great, someone will play with me in the future." ”
The middle-aged woman asked again, "Little girl, what's your name?" Cuixin pointed to the jade pendant in her hand and said, "My mother said that she didn't know what my name should be." But she usually likes jade, and there is an emerald green pattern in the center of this jade pendant, so she named me Emerald Heart. ”
The middle-aged woman said, "Cui Xin, Cui Xin, what a beautiful name." She called Zhai Jingyue to her and instructed, "Jingyue, you are not allowed to bully Cuixin in the future." Zhai Jingyue replied respectfully: "Mother, don't worry, I will treat Cuixin as my own sister and never let her suffer the slightest grievance." After hearing this, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "As the saying goes, meeting is fate, no matter what happens, the two of you must help each other." ”
Zhai Jingyue and Cui Xin glanced at each other, both of them nodded and smiled, and since then they have become the dearest sisters.
A few years later, the middle-aged woman fell ill and died. Zhai Jingyue worked hard to support the business of Beiqinglou. Cui Xin was able to survive the ten years in peace, until that day Tuoba Jiyu's party warriors broke the peace of the Farewell Building, and the lives of the two sisters changed dramatically.
Seeing that Cui Xin didn't answer, Cha Muhe turned to Yelu Ruan and said, "Lord Wang, how can your jade pendant be on this little girl?"
Yelu Ruan was taken aback, and immediately put his hand into his arms, took out the jade pendant and said, "Mu He, how can you say this? ”
Chamuhe walked up to Yelu Ruan, handed him the jade pendant, and said, "This is strange, is there really two identical jade pendants in the world?"
Yelu Ruan carefully pondered the jade pendant in his hand, seemed to think of something, and hurriedly ran to Cuixin's side, and asked tremblingly, "Girl, is this jade pendant really yours?"
Although Cui Xin was bound all over, she didn't know where she got the strength, broke free with both hands and grabbed the jade pendant, and scolded loudly: "You robbers, you don't even let go of the only relic left to me by my father, it's even inferior to beasts!"
After hearing her scolding, Yelu Ruan felt that her feet were weak, and she involuntarily sat on the ground, unable to speak with excitement in her heart. (To be continued.) )
