Before dark, Xuan Qi got on the boat and fetched the horses, and decided to go north to Cangzhou to ask Ming Xia Xingyun and the others about their whereabouts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At night, the father and daughter found an inn to stay in Jinling City. When the father and daughter met for the first time, they had a lot to say, and Qiqi heard a lot of stories about Xuanqi from his mother Xuan, and he pestered Xuanqi to tell the story. Xuan Qi was talking, but Qiqi couldn't help but fall asleep and fell asleep sweetly.

Listening to Qiqi's subtle snort, Xuanqi was smiling, looking at Qiqi's little face, he always felt like he couldn't finish it.

Early the next morning, Xuan Qi took Qiqi to the street and bought a bunch of beautiful clothes. As a first-time father, Xuan Qi also has a lot of things he doesn't understand, but fortunately, the proprietress of the ready-to-wear store heard that Xuan Qi was going north to Cangzhou, so she naturally prepared the things that Xuan Qi needed. Xuan Qi left a silver ingot as a thank you, and the father and daughter said goodbye to the enthusiastic proprietress .

Xuanqi was going to prepare a carriage for Qiqi, but Qiqi was clamoring to see the scenery and was unwilling to take the carriage. Xuan Qi had to install a small shelf in front of the saddle, spread a thick blanket felt, and wrapped Qiqi tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes, so that he could go on the road with confidence.

As a result, the speed is much slower. Xuanqi is now accompanied by Qiqi, but he is not in a hurry, but he just lets the horse move forward slowly.

Although Qiqi is young, his body is also strong, and the cold north wind blows, but he never complains, but opens a pair of big eyes with great interest and looks around. When he saw something he didn't know, he raised his little head and asked, "Daddy, what is this?" Xuanqi answered carefully until Qiqi was satisfied.

Sometimes I feel bored, and Qiqi will ask Xuanqi to tell her stories, especially the story of Xuanqi and Xuansi, Qiqi listens to it even more energetically, and constantly has strange questions.

Sometimes, Qiqi would inadvertently think of his mother Xuansi, so he raised his head and asked Xuanqi: "Daddy, when will my mother come back?" Xuanqi really didn't know how to answer, so he had to do everything possible to divert Qiqi's attention. Fortunately, Qiqi children often forget after asking for a short time. Often at this time, Xuanqi always feels very sorry for Qiqi.

Children are curious, but they get tired very quickly. Every half a day, Qiqi would fall asleep on horseback. Xuan Qi would stop the horse, set up the tent, and carry Qiqi to the soft quilt in the tent to sleep well.

Whenever he looked at Qiqi's sweet smiling face when he fell asleep, Xuanqi would feel very satisfied, and the tiredness and boredom of his body would disappear.

In this way, it was not until late December that the father and daughter arrived in Pengcheng. Before entering Pengcheng, it began to snow in the sky, and the father and daughter had to find an inn to stay in Pengcheng.

Early the next morning, the snow was heavier than yesterday, and it was blowing one after another, let alone rushing, and even the road was out of sight. Xuan Qi saw that the snow was falling so heavily, even if the snow stopped, the road would be extremely difficult, so he decided to live in Pengcheng first, and by the way, he had a good first year for the father and daughter.

Qiqi was very excited when he saw the heavy snow, and pulled Xuanqi to find a vacant lot and build a snowman. Xuan Qi specially asked for black and red clay blocks from the master who kneaded the clay figures, and made them into the eyes, nose and mouth of the clay figures. Looking at the cute snowman, Qiqi was even more happy to jump and jump, holding Xuanqi's hand and constantly circling the snowman.

Xuanqi is also childlike, trying to keep a small piece of snow on Qiqi's body. Qiqi also tried to throw out a piece of snow, and immediately started a snowball fight with Xuanqi with great interest, until Xuanqi lay on the snow and begged for mercy, and then let Xuanqi go with a smile. also sat on Xuan Qi's body, laughing at Xuan Qi's adult for losing to a child, and beating Xuan Qi hard with his small fist. Xuan Qi could only scream and beg for mercy, and Qi Qi let Xuan Qi go for the sake of Xuan Qi's pitiful sake.

For the next few days, Xuan Qi took Qiqi everywhere every day. However, at the end of the year, although it was snowing heavily, there were all kinds of juggling, delicious snacks and beautiful gadgets on the street. Qiqi often holds a clay figure in his left hand and a candy figure in his right hand, and he eats and plays. I still have to watch my brothers and sisters who are performing arts playing with big knives, and sometimes I have to pretend to be scared and cover my eyes with my little hands, not daring to look at the broken boulders on my chest.

The snow fell heavily for seven days and did not stop until the early morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve. It's like knowing that it's time for people to have a good New Year. The snow was so thick that it was knee-high, and the streets were filled with people sweeping snow early in the morning. Xuan Qi took Qiqi with Qiqi, and also helped the store clean up the snow outside the inn together. Qiqi took a small broom and swept around, which made the shopkeepers and guys who powed the snow happy, and even the snow sweeping was more energetic.

In the past few days, Qiqi is very familiar with the old and young in the inn. Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters keep calling all day long, and naturally they have become the favorite treasures of everyone in the inn.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and three fast horses rushed from the far side of the street, splashing snow foam in all directions, and in the shouts and curses of pedestrians and snowsweepers, they still did not slow down, and rushed straight across the long street. The three people on the horse, but they were wearing the soap clothes of the officials, as if they were in a hurry, they didn't even bother to reply to being scolded, and only cared about urging the horses to gallop. Passers-by avoided it.

Qiqi didn't realize it, and just cared about playing on the side of the street. When the fast horse was about to pass by, Qiqi happened to step on a small snow pit and staggered towards the middle of the street. In the exclamation of everyone, the official on the fast horse at the front had already shouted: "Look for death!" The horsewhip was thrown towards Qiqi, without the slightest appearance of wanting to rein in the horse.

Qiqi was suddenly stunned, and the horsewhip and hooves were already on his head, and he was about to fall. Suddenly, the horse let out a long neigh, and the man stood up, and his two front hooves were in the air, but they were like statues, and they could not fall, and the whip of the servant also fell into the air.

Everyone was surprised, and only then did they see the young man in white under the horse's hooves, holding Qiqi in one hand, but the other hand was exactly in the middle of the two horses' hooves. The horse kept struggling, but the horse's hooves could not fall.

The crowd exclaimed, but the official shouted loudly, "Bastard, don't get out of the way." disturbed the affairs of the official, and asked for your life. As he spoke, the horsewhip swung again and smashed down on his head and face.
