The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and look down at the girl.

Diao Xiao sat on the bed boredly, glancing through the open window at the west wing facing the door from time to time.

Princess Jincheng and the old thief had been talking secretly inside for two and a half hours, and there was still no sign of the end.

He wanted to eavesdrop on what the two were talking about, but Princess Jincheng had already been on guard against herself, so she actually laid two enchantments in the house, even though the firecrackers in the room were noisy, and no one outside could hear a sound.

This can't help but make Diao Xiaosi extremely depressed - is Lao Tzu's character so bad in Xiao Niangpi's heart?

Just as she was scratching her heart impatiently, the opposite door opened, and Princess Jincheng walked out.

Diao Xiaosi perked up, and wondered if he should go to the old thief to set up a trap to promote the relationship between mother and son, and by the way, listen to the conversation between the two?

Unexpectedly, Princess Jincheng did not leave the west wing, but walked straight towards the house where Diao Xiaosi lived.

Diao Xiaosi hurriedly pretended to close his eyes and meditate, and heard Princess Jincheng say coldly: "Open the door, I know that you are awake." ”

Diao Xiaosi got out of bed and opened the door, and looked at Princess Jincheng by the moonlight, but saw that her expression was indifferent, her facial features were normal, and there was no abnormality, so she couldn't help but be disappointed.

Princess Jincheng did not enter the house, and said, "There is still more than an hour before dawn, you accompany me to a place." ”

Diao Xiaosi didn't know what she wanted to do with herself, so she said in her heart: "Uncle explained that my injury is too serious and I need to lie down and rest, and I am not allowed to get out of bed, let alone ......."

Before he finished speaking, Princess Jincheng suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, jumped onto the roof, and slid like a flowing wind back to the snow, and went over the heavy roof ridge in the direction of the east of the city.

Diao Xiaosi said angrily: "Lonely men and widows travel hand in hand in the middle of the night, are you not afraid of being gossiped about?"

Princess Jincheng said disapprerovingly: "Aren't you my own brother?"

Diao Xiaosi was dumbfounded for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them had quietly swept over the city and melted into the dark wilderness.

Diao Xiaosi looked at the empty surroundings, and couldn't help drumming: "Could it be that I know the secret of Xiao Niangpi's life experience, and she wants to kill people and kill people?"

Suddenly, Princess Jincheng said: "You don't have to worry that the Temple of Mercy and Grace will come to seek revenge for the matter of Monk Jianyong, Master Jin has promised to try to resolve it for us." However, if the Golden Tripod Holy Monk took action in person, she would have no choice. ”

Diao Xiaosi calmed down for a while and asked, "In that case, why is it not him but the old ...... My godmother came to Jiangnan?"

Princess Jincheng replied: "After the holy monk Jinding came back from Tianzhu, he practiced in retreat in the Bodhi Pagoda on the golden top of Emei, and it is said that he was contemplating a Buddhist divine skill. As the abbot of the lower courtyard of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, he was in charge of all external affairs, so he immediately rushed to Jiangnan after receiving the report of Shichijiro in one night. ”

Her figure slowed down suddenly, and she saw a scattered farmhouse at the foot of the dark Qixia Mountain in front of her, and an indescribable look flashed inadvertently in her bright eyes.

Diao Xiaosi said curiously: "In the middle of the night, what do you want to do here?"

Princess Jincheng said: "Mrs. Shi just told me that I was born here back then. ”

Diao Xiaosi suddenly realized that Princess Jincheng came so non-stop, so he didn't think that the old thief would have the opportunity to falsify and collude. After all, it is a matter of who her biological father and mother are, and with her meticulous mind, it is impossible to fully believe it just by the words of Master Jin.

Suddenly, Princess Jincheng said softly: "Father...... My favorite is Qionghua. ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned, and saw Princess Jincheng walking forward to the outside of a farmhouse without knocking.

Diao Xiaosi walked behind her and asked, "Do you want me to call the door for you?"

Princess Jincheng's eyes looked around and said, "Let's wait until dawn, so we don't have to disturb them." ”

Diao Xiaosi nodded, and was surprised to find that Princess Jincheng also had times when she thought about others.

He coughed and said, "Your mother...... Where are they buried?"

Princess Jincheng was alert: "What?"

Diao Xiaosi said hesitantly: "Haven't you dug up my mother's grave and seen it?"

"You dare!" Princess Jincheng's voice was stern, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but escape a smile, and she was as beautiful as an epiphany blooming under the reflection of the moonlight, and she could see Diao Xiaosi's soul out of her body like a wooden chicken.

It's a pity that the smile was short-lived, and Princess Jincheng became cold again, and said: "Her ashes have been scattered into the river by Shitai." ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and said: "Destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, there is no proof of death? Or is my godmother amazing, why didn't I think of this trick earlier?"

Princess Jincheng said: "You don't think nonsense, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense in front of outsiders, otherwise be careful of your head." ”

She wanted to take the opportunity to warn Diao Xiaosi, lest this kid be open-mouthed and cause unnecessary trouble. How do you know that he completely misestimated the thickness of Diao Xiaosi's face, only to see him frown and say, "This means that I can treat you as an insider?"

Princess Jincheng's eyes were fixed on Diao Xiaosi's face, and she said indifferently: "You can try." ”

Diao Xiaosi was speculating about the feasibility of "trying", when suddenly there was a "squeak" sound, and an old peasant woman opened the door, but it was a countryman who got up early and was going to the kitchen to make a fire to cook.

Seeing two young men standing in the yard, the peasant woman was startled and hurriedly turned around and shouted, "His father!"

An old man in the house ran out wearing a tattered robe, Diao Xiaosi glanced at Princess Jincheng, and greeted honestly: "Uncle, aunt, we want to ask you about something." ”

The old man looked at the two of them suspiciously, and saw that Princess Jincheng was cold and elegant like a fairy in the dust, and she was not like the fierce appearance of those Jiangyang thieves posted at the city gate, so he hesitated and asked, "What's the matter?"

Princess Jincheng said: "This is your house, how many years have you lived there?"

The old man had bad ears, and he spoke loudly, and said in a loud voice: "The ancestral one is older than my age." ”

Princess Jincheng asked, "Uncle Jin, can I go into the house and have a look?"

The old man rubbed his hands and said uneasily: "The countryman's house is nothing to look at, our family is poor, don't laugh at it." ”

Princess Kaneshiro silently walked into the house. An oil lamp was lit in the middle of the hall, and a blackened New Year's picture hung on the wall in the center, and next to it was a Spring Festival couplet of unknown age, the ink on which had long since faded.

The old man was suddenly surprised: "Girl, how do you know that my surname is Jin?"

Princess Jincheng didn't answer, gently lifted the heavy tattered cotton curtain, looked at the back room and said, "Uncle, do you remember that eighteen years ago, a woman once borrowed from this room and gave birth to a baby girl in this room?"

The old man smiled and said, "If you dare to ask about this, how can you forget it?" That girl is really handsome...... It's just that I don't like to talk very much, it seems to be a surname...... Last nameβ€”"

"The surname is Ni," the peasant woman continued, "I delivered the baby for her, but she left after two months." ”

Princess Kaneshiro walked into the inner room, her eyes slowly brushing over every piece of furnishings in the room, as if she wanted to find the mark of eighteen years ago.

Diao Xiaosi pulled the peasant woman aside and asked secretly, "Then have you ever seen her man?"

The peasant woman shook her head and said, "No, I wonder why the child's father doesn't show up? By the way, the girl is also strange, she eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, and refuses to touch any meat. I advised her that people in confinement should not eat meat? ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned, took out a gold ingot, stuffed it into the peasant woman's hand, and said, "Auntie, you can take this." ”

The peasant woman couldn't refuse, but accepted it gratefully, and said, "Little brother, what else do you want to ask?"

Diao Xiaosi had already guessed in his heart that eight or nine would not be far from ten, and said, "Is there a Qionghua tattoo on the baby girl's arm?"

The old man said loudly: "Yes, there is also a ...... on the chest Looks like a hibiscus flower, right?"

Princess Jincheng walked out of the back room, with an extra yellowed scroll in her hand, and said, "Can I take it with me?"

The old man said disapprovingly: "You can take it, anyway, no one in our family is literate, and they can't understand what the above is saying." ”

Princess Jincheng took out a silver ticket from her cuff, put it on the table and said, "Pack up your things and leave here as soon as it is dawn." ”

The old man was stunned and said, "Why?"

Diao Xiaosi lowered his voice and said: "That woman is an old witch, and she was later suppressed in the temple by a great monk in Qixia Mountain. Now that her daughter is grown, she wants to come back for revenge. This little demon girl has always remembered that you were reluctant to kill chicken and stew soup to replenish her mother's body, and she liked to gnaw people's bones the most, saying that it was crispy and refreshing......"

The old man turned pale with fright, collapsed on the stool, and stammered, "I, I ......"

Diao Xiaosi smiled and said, "Hurry up, don't tell your neighbors where you're going." Otherwise, the little demon girl will chase after you, but no one will be able to save you. Then he walked out of the house and chased after Princess Jincheng.

The two walked slowly along the mountain path, Princess Jincheng never spoke, Diao Xiaosi was very interesting, and did not bother her, just followed behind him step by step.

Suddenly, Princess Jincheng stopped by the stream, turned her back to Diao Xiaosi and said, "You guessed?"

Diao Xiaosi pretended to be confused and said, "What do you want me to guess, who is that girl?"

Princess Jincheng said lightly: "Actually, Mrs. Shi doesn't have a sister at all, she is my biological mother!"

Although Diao Xiaosi already had a little bit of a score about this matter in his heart, he still couldn't help but gasp when he heard Princess Jincheng say it herself.

Princess Jincheng said slowly: "After a few **** injuries, we will return to Chang'an with her." I want to ask my father in person. ”

Diao Xiaosi was taken aback and said, "You won't tell the old man about this...... Godmother, huh?"

Princess Jincheng said coldly: "Why can't you tell her?"

Diao Xiaosi smiled bitterly: "Okay, the spring breeze blows a pool of water, and does Lao Tzu's bird business?"

At this moment, Princess Jincheng suddenly felt something, looked at a maple forest on the other side of the stream, and shouted in a cold voice: "Get out!"
