Xiaohe County, in the pavilion in the backyard of the Li House.

Li Shanshan was alone, sitting on a long wooden bench. Under the emerald green dress, a pair of delicate little feet kept swaying on the bench, and the slender jade hands held the pink chin and leaned on the vermilion railing.

The clear beautiful eyes looked at her little feet, her eyes were scattered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

At this time, she is very demure and lazy, maybe the girl who is pregnant with spring should be like this!

Xiong Qiang has been gone for seven or eight days, and in the past seven or eight days, no one has seen her smile.

At this time, Zhao Li, who looked handsome and elegant, came flutteringly, his face was a little cold, since the last time he saw Li Shanshan pounce into Xiong Qiang's arms and cry so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, the smile that had been raised at the corner of his mouth had never risen again.

He walked quietly to Li Shanshan's side, but did not arouse any alarm from Li Shanshan.

"Sanshan, what are you thinking?" he said quietly.

originally thought that Li Shanshan would behave somewhat strangely, but he was disappointed, Li Shanshan at this time seemed to have lost her soul, and her heart was not here at all.

Zhao Li's face changed slightly, he raised his voice, and said again.

Li Shanshan was so frightened that she finally came back to her senses and said in amazement: "Zhao Li, when did you come?"

"Shanshan, are you still thinking about him? He is gone, it is impossible to come back, you forget him! Tomorrow I will ask my father to come to your house to propose marriage. I'm going to marry you. He looked at Li Shanshan, who had been a lot haggard in the past few days, and Zhao Li couldn't help but say what he thought in his heart anymore.

Li Shanshan was stunned for a moment, Zhao Li had never spoken in such a loud voice in front of her before, and she had never revealed anything to herself, although she knew that Zhao Li was interested in him.

Standing up slowly from the bench, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "I...... Zhao Li, I don't want to get married yet. ”

"Is it because of Xiong Qiang?" Zhao Li's face elongated, his breathing became a little cloudy, and his face became ruddy, although Li Shanshan refused him very tactfully, but when he thought that it was because of Xiong Qiang, it made him a little angry.

Li Shanshan ignored him, just sighed faintly, and looked into the distance with clear eyes.

"Zhao Li, ...... in the future Don't come to me in the future, okay?" Li Shanshan said.

Although Li Shanshan just said lightly, Zhao Li stood there for a long time, did not speak, his body was trembling slightly, his two fists were clenched very tightly, so tight that the knuckles were already white, and the nails had pierced into the flesh, and unconsciously, two lines of tears slipped out of his eyes. She is full of affection for Li Shanshan, but now Li Shanshan has cut off all his thoughts in one sentence, how can he not be angry?

He took a heavy breath, calmed down his emotions, and looked at Li Shanshan, who had lowered his head and played with some guilt, with some guilt, and then moved his eyes to the distant mountains, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "'Lang rode a bamboo horse, went around the bed to make green plums, lived together for a long time, and the two had no guesses!' I have imagined countless times that you would read this poem to me on the night when we spent candles in the cave room. I used to think that we were good friends, and no one could take away the affection between us. ”

Speaking of this, he sniffed, the tenderness in his eyes instantly turned cold, his handsome face became a little hideous, and he said with a very unstable mood: "But I was wrong, I was wrong, it was Xiong Qiang, it was Xiong Qiang, this stinky boy, it was he who took you away from me." I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!"

Later, he looked like crazy, gritted his teeth, slammed his clenched fist on the marble tabletop, and then ran out of the Li Mansion.

"No, Zhao Li......" Seeing Zhao Li's crazy actions, Li Shanshan burst into tears, squatted on the ground, hid her face and cried.

After a while, she suddenly stood up, walked out of the gazebo, packed a few clothes, rushed out of the mansion, and looked in the direction of Jining.

"I finally arrived in Jining, this Jining is really beautiful, more beautiful than the prefectures and counties I have been to. ”

Standing on the wide street, looking at the rows of shops, Xia Yun, who had a light green jacket on her upper body and a white phoenix tail skirt on her lower body, was also in a much better mood. She is like a butterfly, watting through the bustling streets.

Xia Yun, who has worn a skirt once in Xiaohe County, almost never wears trousers anymore. However, in Xiong Qiang's eyes, it is still more beautiful and feminine to wear skirts.

He also likes to stay with Xia Yun, he feels that he is not so tired when he is in a hurry with Xia Yun, this girl makes people feel very happy, if there is no her, he and Xiaoyaozi will definitely have no topic on the way.

"Xiong Qiang, come here, can you help me see which hairpin is suitable for me?" Xia Yun, who was still emotionally moved just now, ran to a small stall selling jewelry in the blink of an eye and began to look for her own jewelry.

Xiong Qiang glanced at Xiaoyaozi, smiled, and said, "Master, do you want to go to the 'Yuexiang' inn to stay first?" I will accompany Miss Xia to go shopping, anyway, I will also go to Jining Mansion, so I don't have to hurry anymore." ”

"Come back early, don't get into trouble!" said Xiaoyaozi.

Xiong Qiang responded with a grin, and he joined Xia Yun.

"Xiong Qiang, look, there is also rouge gouache, what do you think of this pink?" Xia Yun dropped her hairpin, and happily picked up a box of rouge gouache and looked at it.

The little vendor also said with a smile: "Girl, as far as you are naturally beautiful and handsome, which jewelry and which box of rouge on my stall are suitable for you." ”

When Xia Yun heard this, her heart was also beautiful, with a pair of big watery eyes, she looked at Xiong Qiang with a wink, and said, "Xiong Qiang, what do you say?"

I saw Xiong Qiang wave his hand and said, "Boss, I think so, what hairpins, bracelets, earrings, and rouge are all on your stall, give me a copy." ”

"Huh?" The boss was obviously stunned, but quickly reacted, this is what people call Haoshuang? The son of a rich family can please girls. At the moment, he was busy and said: "Okay, good, young man, I'll wrap you up right away." ”

After Xia Yun was stunned, a beautiful smile bloomed on her delicate face, waved her hand to the boss, and said, "No, no, no!

Xiong Qiang smiled faintly and said, "As long as you are happy, stay for a while, and then choose two sets of skirts, Miss Shanshan looked good last time." ”

Hearing Li Shanshan, the smile on Xia Yun's face slowly retracted, and she said angrily: "Do you still remember her?

Xiong Qiang was stunned, and then he remembered that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said. Just as he was about to explain, the voices in front of him suddenly became noisy. The whole crowd screamed as if they had exploded.

The two of them also forgot to talk about each other, and looked there, only to see a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in rags, unkempt, with a somewhat thin body, his whole face looked very pale, and a trace of blood was already flowing from the corner of his mouth.

His face was terrified, and he was on a rampage in the crowded street. The pedestrians on the road and the street vendors were all knocked over by him.

Not far behind him, there were five men in night clothes who appeared strangely, holding bright broadswords in their hands.

Although the streets were full of overturned stalls, the movement of the five people was not hindered in the slightest, and the five pairs of gloomy eyes stared at the young man running in front of him, and they knew by their appearance that they were going to take the young man's life.

Xiong Qiang and Xia Yun also frowned, this group of people were still masked during the day, obviously something extremely important fell on the young man's body.

The young man was already weak, and after this kind of vigorous running, his physical strength was extremely exerted, and cold sweat was pouring on his face and forehead. Finally, his strength was almost exhausted, and before his footsteps were completely lifted, the whole person fell down in front of Xiong Qiang and Xia Yun.

"Save ...... Help me, help me!" Seeing the man in black getting closer and closer, the tripped young man had a frightened face and threw a begging look at the two.

The five men in black also arrived, but when they saw Xiong Qiang and Xia Yun both holding swords in their hands, they also stopped slightly. After glancing coldly at Xiong Qiang and Xia Yun, one of the men in black clenched the knife in his hand and slashed it down on the young man's body.

Xia Yunjiao snorted, raised her sword with an indifferent face, blocked the attack of the man in black, and then shook the sword flower, forcing the man in black to take two steps back, and asked coldly: "Who are you? In broad daylight, you dare to commit murder with a mask in your face!"

Seeing that Xia Yun's swordsmanship was extremely good, the man in black also stopped his offensive and said, "Girl, I advise you to be nosy, otherwise be careful that your life is not guaranteed." ”

"Don't, sister, don't hand me over to them, they'll kill me!" The young man also looked at Xia Yun pitifully at this time, now, Xia Yun was his only lifeline.

"Little brother, don't worry, I won't let them take you away at will. Xia Yun turned her head to look at the young man and said.

"Compassion is overflowing, do you really think that you are a compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva? I advise you again, don't be ignorant. The man in black frowned tightly and said coldly.

When Xia Yun confronted the black-clothed men, Xiong Qiang squatted down with a smile, looked at the young man and said, "Little brother, in fact, they are right, we can't be merciful. ”

When the man in black heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "It's still this brother who knows the times!"

The young man was also nervous, and his gaze at Xiong Qiang was also a lot of disgust, Xia Yun was even more angry, and said: "Xiong Qiang, do you know what you are talking about? Do you still have a little manly temperament? Are you frightened by them like this?"

Xiong Qiang ignored Xia Yun's words, and directly ignored the young man's disgust and hatred, and continued to say with a smile: "Little brother, let me tell you, in fact, I am a killer, as long as you can pay me, I can save your life." ”
