Xu Xian knocked on her head, "Thanks to you being so smart, what stupid things to say, I can't wait to grow up with you." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yun Yan playfully stuck out her tongue, "Are you worried about me?"

"I'm just going back to the capital to help my master collect medicine and alchemy, I'm afraid I don't have much time to accompany you, and Mingyu is much busier than me! ”

Yun Yan immediately said: "Chang Xi is with me!" But seeing that Chang Xi was still squatting on the back of the horse and staring at her blankly, she immediately reacted, blushing and said, "Dead girl, what did you see just now?" But she had already regarded her as a turtle in Xu Xian's urn, and she didn't care much.

Chang Xi hurriedly shook her cat's head like a rattle, her mood at the moment has not yet recovered her calm, she has been staying by Yun Yan's side, accompanying her to play the piano and read, more and more aware of this woman's wisdom and talent, there is a little admiration in her heart.

But when she saw Yun Yan showing such an expression under Xu Xian's caresses, the impact on her became even greater. She even empathized with herself, if she regained her human body one day, would it be the same? This imagination made her whole body tremble like electricity, both a little shy and a little afraid.

But when Yun Yan leaned on Xu Xian's chest safely, her calm and happy expression made her feel envious, her original idea was just to find such a man to entrust her life, and her thoughts were even more tangled.

Yun Yan pressed her face against Xu Xian's chest and said softly: "If my husband wants me to stay in Hangzhou, I will stay in Hangzhou." If I had to choose. She raised her head and said seriously: "Wherever you go, I will go!"

Xu Xian stroked her cheek pityingly, "Whatever you want!"

The horse's hooves fluttered lightly, and after noon, the two finally arrived at a small town, that is, Zhong Kui's hometown Shijing Town.

This kind of mountain town is far less prosperous than the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many houses of blue bricks and tiles along the undulating terrain, which are hidden between the green mountains and clear waters, but it seems very quiet.

There was not even an inn in the town, and it was even more rare for outsiders to come in, and with such a strange appearance, the residents of the town all poked their heads out to watch, and whispered a lot of discussions.

Xu Xian stopped a young man, dismounted, and then took out a piece of broken silver, and said, "Let your town mayor call me!" He is also famous now, if he doesn't use it, it will be a waste.

The young man saw that Xu Xian's bearing was extraordinary, and he made a generous move, and bluntly said that he wanted to see the mayor, how dare he slack off. But he lowered his head and said: "This son, what are you going to do at Zhong Kui's house, where is it not very auspicious lately?" Under the gaze of Yun Yan's beautiful eyes, her face was flushed, and she thought to herself: I don't know if she and Zhong Li look better.

Xu Xian frowned and said, "Oh, how unlucky?" Could it be that Zhong Kui has shown his might.

The young man said: "Last night, a merchant brought the news, I heard that Zhong Kui did not know what to do, and he died in the saint's hall, and he did not know when he was going to be guilty, and the disaster was not small." ”

Xu Xian suddenly said, in this era, there is no TV and telephone, and the news of this kind of mountain town is particularly powerful, even the news of Zhong Kui's death only came yesterday, not to mention the news that Zhong Kui was ordered to be buried "You don't have to worry about this, I am Zhong Kui's friend, you just let the patriarch come over." ”

This kind of town is often a large clan, most of them have the same surname, and the patriarch of the clan is often the mayor of the town.

The young man hesitated and said, "The patriarch brought a lot of people just now, it seems that he went to Zhong Kui's house!" I was secretly surprised in my heart, I didn't expect that someone like Zhong Kui would have friends, Xu Xian's eyes flashed, and asked, "What are you doing?"

The young man's heart trembled, his legs and stomach almost turned, only to feel that the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, suddenly burst out with great momentum, and privately thought that that kind of momentum was not comparable to even the patriarch. stammered: "Listen, I heard that Zhong Kui caused trouble for the clan and wanted to drive his sister out of town." ”

Xu Xian's expression changed and said, "Where is Zhong Kui's house?"

The young man shook his head and said, "There's a wooden house right next to the Agu Spring over there. Before he finished speaking, Xu Xian had already flown on his horse, rode away, and shook his way to leave a sentence, "Yan'er, I'll take a step first, you follow slowly!"

"Husband, you wait for me!" Yun Yan hurriedly drove the pony, "Drive, drive!"

But without Xu Xian's guidance, no matter how she shouted, the pony just moved slowly.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Agu Spring is far away from the town, but in a valley in Zhongnan Mountain.

A small pond shimmered in the skylight, and in the middle of the pond a spring bubbled with clear water. The pond is clear and visible, and the surrounding rocks and bamboos are scattered, and the scenery is very elegant. In particular, the clumps of peony flowers have produced a lot of buds and are about to bloom.

In a small bamboo forest on the edge of the pond, a fence wall surrounds a wooden house made of bamboo and wood.

It's just that in the courtyard at this moment, there is no ordinary scene, dozens of men, women and children gather together, talk about it, and look into the house from time to time.

In the bamboo house, an old man was bitterly persuading a young girl, "Zhong Li, your brother has caused a catastrophe in Beijing! Do you know?" The girl was dressed in a cloth dress and a thorn skirt, without any decent ornaments on her body, and even the hairpin on her head was carved out of wood, and the black and shiny hair was simply tied up. But it is such a simple decoration, but it gives her the temperament as clear as the aunt spring outside the door.

Zhong Li pursed his lips and shook his head, his slender fingertips twisted the corners of his clothes, but the circles under his eyes were faintly red, as if he had just cried not long ago, and as if he was about to cry. In that case, even those who are hard-hearted will have pity.

But the patriarch said: "Your brother Zhong Kui was killed in the saint's hall in Chang'an. The wrinkled old face was even more wrinkled at this time, as if it were trying to squeeze out all the fear. In the eyes of these small people, the county order is already a big official, what the emperor is like, I can't think of it, Zhong Kui is unexpected. When he heard about it yesterday, he couldn't sleep all night.

Zhong Li's body trembled, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it, my brother won't leave me, it must be that merchant who told a lie!"

The patriarch sighed and said, "Hey, girl, how can I believe the old man, but this is all true, early this morning, I went to the county town to ask, and it has already spread." Then he slapped his head with his hand.

Zhong Li raised her head suddenly, and even the patriarch couldn't help but avoid that burning gaze, but she slowly lowered her head. She got the news last night, but she still had a trace of extravagant hope in her heart, hoping that the news was fake, but in the face of this cruel news, it became fragmented.

Zhong Li took a deep breath and said, "Is there anything else?"

"You don't believe me?"

Zhong Li said resolutely: "I believe it, if my brother is gone, I will send it for him!"

The patriarch said bitterly: "Why don't you understand, Zhong Kui has caused a big disaster and died cleanly, that will affect you." The saint was not happy, and sent someone to arrest you and put you in the prison.

Zhong Li's face was bloodless, but he did not panic as the patriarch imagined, but said lightly: "If you want to go to prison, I will admit it, I want to kill the head, I am willing to give him his life!"

The patriarch's chest froze, and before he could speak, a shrill voice came from outside the house, "Zhong Li, you are not even afraid of that ugly brother, what else is there to be afraid of, but we still talk about face." Zhong Kui is a broom star, it's not enough to harm your family, and now it's going to harm us, it's really dead and it won't make people live in peace, you quickly pack up your things and go as far as possible, from now on, there will be no your name in the ancestral hall of the Zhong family, and you have nothing to do with Shijing Town. But it was a woman with a child in her arms.

The patriarch said: "Girl, don't blame us for being ruthless, we are also for your good!"

Zhong Li laughed angrily: "At the beginning, you disliked my brother, so we moved out of the town! Later, when my brother was promoted, you sent rice, flour, money and grain, and persuaded us to go back to the town to live." Now that my brother is gone, he is going to force me away, is this still a human being?"

The patriarch's face was red, he couldn't speak, and he smoked a dry cigarette one by one. The townspeople outside the house were babbling about Zhong Li's no.

Only those young men were silent, and in their eyes, Zhong Li was like a fairy, changing his ways to curry favor, but at this time, no one dared to disobey the patriarch's wishes, unless he didn't want to stay in this Shijing Town any longer.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a round figure and a beard walked out of the crowd, first stopped the words of others, and then sighed: "Sister Zhong Li, I am also very sad that you have no brother." But you can't stop here, you might as well go out with me to avoid it, change a place to stay, and I will take good care of you. "It was the merchant who brought the news.

The merchant held a pair of small eyes and kept looking at Zhong Li, from the beautiful face to the bud on his chest, yesterday Zhong Li came to ask him about Zhong Kui, he was shocked when he saw Zhong Li, he didn't expect that there was such a beauty hidden in such a poor country. Compared with Yiyi, the few concubines in his family who were greased and powdered all day long were simply vulgar things, so he moved his mind.

He thought about it for a long time, and decided to explain the "benefits" to the patriarch, and deliberately said that Zhong Kui's matter was much more serious, saying how the emperor would anger Shijing Town, and only by driving Zhong Li away could this disaster be avoided. Although the patriarch is a lot old, he is only a countryman, and he can not compete with the rhetoric of merchants. Zhong Kui, who is a partial student, is known as a "fierce" here, but he is a broom star who killed his parents, and he believed it a little more, so he made a fuss.

Zhong Li said: "I can support myself by myself, and I don't need you to fake your kindness." He took a scoop and took a scoop of bran, went out the door, opened the coop, and fed the chickens. It's just that his eyes are blank and his mind doesn't belong, and he feels a little shaky when he stands there.

The merchant was pushed back, his expression stiffened, and he returned to his original state, but he glanced at the woman who had just spoken in the crowd. The woman immediately became noisy, and encouraged the townspeople around her to go around Zhong Li.
