Chapter 1: Descending the Mountain
There is a courtyard in the forest, which is not very luxurious, but very ordinary. There lived a middle-aged man and a ten-year-old boy, and of course some little dings.
One day, this young man sneaked out of the house while his father was practicing, and when he was about to go out of the mountains and rivers and lakes, he was discovered by his father. "Flying Eagle, where do you want to go?"
The middle-aged man blocked the way of the young man, and it turned out that the young man's name was Li Feiying. Li Feiying replied: "I'm going out to explore the rivers and lakes." ”
He looked at his father. Li Feidao looked at him, didn't say anything, and then got out of the way, Li Feiying stood there stupidly, not moving.
His father smiled and said: "It's okay for you to go to the rivers and lakes, but you have to remember that you can't use the family heirloom Xiao Li Flying Knife until you have to, you know? The rivers and lakes are sinister, and you have to be more careful." When the eagle heard this, he agreed to his father, and then went down the mountain.
"The world's first coriander restaurant" was opened by Qiao Yuan, the richest person in the rivers and lakes at that time. He is honest and honest, he has a daughter in his family, named Qiao Ling'er, eighteen years old, at that time, there were many high-ranking officials and nobles proposed to his family, but they were all rejected by Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao was the first prostitute Li Shishi at that time, since Qiao Yuanwai ransomed her from Yihong Courtyard, she has been good, of course, Qiao Yuanwai's body and bones are also different from ordinary men.
Why does Mrs. Qiao look down on those high-ranking officials and nobles, because no man can be worthy of her daughter. But she didn't expect that Qiao Ling'er was now pregnant with her little scholar's child.
Today, Li Shishi specially came to her daughter's wing room to see her, and when she entered the door, she saw her daughter Qiao Ling'er dressing up, so she said: "Ling'er, today I accompanied my mother to Guanyin Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and asked Guanyin to bless my family to be safe and sound." ”
Ling'er agreed. Then she went out of Qiao's house with her mother. On the way, Ling'er sat next to Li Shishi, and the sedan chair was carried by the people, but halfway Ling'er reacted a little, and she didn't even vomit, and was noticed by Li Shishi. Li Shishi asked, "Who broke your body, Ling'er." ”
But Qiao Ling'er knew that this couldn't be said, so she refused to say it, Li Shishi didn't succeed in burning incense this time, and went back to the house halfway, and when she got home, Li Shishi locked Ling'er in the firewood room and forced her to say it.
Li Shishi asked angrily: "You slut, don't say who broke your body, if you don't say it, don't blame your mother for doing things, you will come out of this firewood room one day." ”
After saying that, he left, and Qiao Ling'er was locked in this room. In fact, Qiao Linger has not only slept with a man, her needs are too great, this time it was because she was too anxious, so she did not take protective measures after having a relationship with her little scholar, but she did not expect to be pregnant with this little scholar's child.
Originally, Qiao Linger wanted to do it, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she had to hide it. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. When it was night, Qiao Linger's personal maid Xiao Que came to the outside of the firewood room and sent Qiao Linger something to eat, Qiao Ling'er's matter, Xiao Que knew.
But Qiao Linger's mother was angry and didn't think to ask Xiao Que, Qiao Linger said to Xiao Que outside the door of the firewood room: "Xiao Que, can you think of a way to open the door of this firewood room and help me escape." ”
Xiao Que looked at the lock on the door of the firewood room outside, and then said, "Miss, this lock was added by Madame, and it is not easy to open this lock." ”
Qiao Ling'er thought about it in the firewood room, and then said to Yahuan: "Xiaoque, then you go and call that little scholar and let him think of a way." ”
Then he continued: "When you come, you must be careful not to be discovered." The little magpie outside the firewood room answered, and then left. Qiao Ling'er actually couldn't eat at all, so she had to stay in the firewood room, squatting in a small corner, holding her knees with her hands and waiting. She thought a lot, why is she so bad? Why can't she learn from Zhang Xin, the daughter of the Zhang family next door, she is a beautiful girl, not only beautiful, but also good at chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and has never had contact with men.
Thinking about it until the third watch in the middle of the night, there was a noise outside the door of the firewood room at this time, and I only heard Xiao Que outside the door whisper: "Miss, I came here with a small booklist, he brought an axe to smash the lock, and he will definitely be able to save you from the meeting." When Qiao Ling'er heard this, she said happily: "Then hurry up and smash this lock for me." ”
I only heard that the little scholar outside the door was smashing the door lock of the firewood room with an axe, and smashed the door lock two or three times before smashing the door lock, Qiao Linger pushed open the door at this time, and saw the little scholar holding an axe in his hand, and the little magpie was holding a black bag in his hand, Xiao Que stepped forward and hugged Qiao Linger and said: "Miss, this bag is the clothes and coils I prepared for you, you can quickly escape with the little scholar at night." ”
Qiao Ling'er also looked at the little scholar at this time, but the little scholar shook his head and said, "Miss, you can escape alone, I won't run away with you." ”
Qiao Linger pushed Xiao Que away, walked to the little scholar's side, and then slapped the little scholar, the little scholar was beaten and fell to the ground, and blood flowed out of his mouth, Qiao Linger scolded: "You are still not a man, I have your child in my belly now, if you are not afraid of me telling my mother, then you will continue to stay here." ”
The little scholar cried and shouted: "Who knows whose wild seed you are pregnant with, I am saying, I will run away with you, if I am caught by Qiao Yuanwai, Mrs. will definitely kill me at that time." ”
Qiao Ling'er raised her head, wanting to keep her tears from flowing, thinking that this was really her own retribution, she was self-inflicted, and she couldn't live. Then he walked up to the little scholar, and the little scholar who fell to the ground looked at Qiao Ling'er walking towards him, and then said, "What are you going to do, don't come here." Qiao Linger didn't care how he was afraid, and then kicked at him, the position happened to be the little scholar's step, only listening to the little scholar's tragic screams, Qiao Linger still refused to give up, and kicked the little scholar several times, at this time the little scholar fainted in pain.
At this time, Xiao Que saw that a family member was running towards this side with the lights on, so he hugged Qiao Ling'er and said, "Miss, you should run away quickly, someone is coming." ”
Qiao Ling'er looked up and saw that someone was indeed coming in the distance, and then took the bag in Xiao Que's hand and said to Xiao Que: "Xiao Que, take care of yourself, I will come back in the future." ”
Xiao Que is already crying like a tearful person. Qiao Linger hurriedly slipped out of the back door, and when she walked out of the back door of her compound, she turned her head to look at her home, and then left the home that had raised her for eighteen years with sadness.
Li Feiying rode a horse and galloped on the road, he didn't know which city was in front of him, so he kept looking for a nearby city, and then walked through a forest, and finally saw a city in front of him, and then drove his horse to the city, when he was about to get outside the city, he saw that most people were leading horses into the city, so he also got off the horse, led his horse to the city, he saw Xiangyang City written on the city wall, he thought in his heart that this city was called Xiangyang City.
