The man raised his eyes and looked at her for a while. From her beautiful and delicate clothes, he saw the bells tied around her ankles, and said expressionlessly, "I don't know."
After all, he turned to leave. After walking a few steps, the man frowned and turned his head. He put down his prey, picked up the stones on the ground, and chased away the vicious dogs surrounding the tree.
The vicious dog barked for a while, and then left with his tail tucked.
A Mi was still looking at him, he was born very good-looking, and for mortals, it was an almost gorgeous appearance.
Tall, thin and well-proportioned, with a somewhat sickly pale skin, raised eyes, and almost blushing lips. Such an appearance does not appear feminine, on the contrary, there is a sense of contempt for the coldness of the world.
The man reached out to her: "Get down."
Although he didn't smile, Ami sensed kindness from him.
She used to hear Jing Mian tell a story that children can't go out at night in the mortal world, it will be very dangerous, and no children will spend the night in the trees.
This person cares about her.
She stretched out her short arms and fell into his arms.
The man who hugged her paused, the dumpling in his arms was fragrant and soft, like a warm dough.
He looked a little weird and put her on the ground.
The little dumpling was very short, trying to look up at him, his appearance was quite cute and a little funny.
"It's getting dark, where are your parents?"
A Mi thought for a while: "Mother went to a far away place, father... Daddy is dead."
In the words of mortals, Soul Feifei San should be dead.
The man was silent for a moment: "The town is not peaceful after dark, your parents are not there, there are always servants at home, go find them."
The little dumpling looked like a child of a wealthy family.
The necklaces and beads on her body are of great value.
A Mi shook her head: "I'm far away from home, this time I'm going out to find Daddy and bring him back with me."
He picked up the prey on the ground and responded indifferently, "As you like."
A Mi looked curiously at the prey he was carrying on his shoulder. It was a rather thin deer. The blood on the deer's mouth had not yet dried up.
She has been bold since she was a child, she didn't feel bloody at all, she glanced at it with great interest, and the man left with the deer.
Ami had no choice but to wander the town by herself.
As the sky darkened, candles were lit in every house.
A Mi muttered: "Jingxie said that mortals can't fly, and they don't have magic, so I can't fly in front of them, it will frighten them."
She walked aimlessly for a long time, strange to say, there was a strange bond and nostalgia in her heart, which made her reluctant to leave this place easily.
As A Mi walked, he counted the rules with his wrench fingers: "You can't break into other people's houses either."
There were a few drunks swaying on the streets of the town, and when A Mi found them, they also saw A Mi.
Several people stayed at the same time.
Just as they were about to come over with their hippie smiles, a black shadow under the moonlight enveloped A Mi's body from behind.
The few people looked at each other, sobered up a lot: "It's him, hurry up and hurry up."
A Mi looked down at her small body being shrouded, turned around, and stood behind the young man she had met at dusk.
He frowned at her.
Ami blinked wet-luo-luo eyes, extremely innocent.
After a long time, he possessed her and picked her up: "Don't wander on the street, I will take you to the government office tomorrow."
Ami nodded obediently.
Ami has half the blood of the devil in his body, the devil is naturally rebellious and surrenders to the power.
She couldn't explain this feeling, even if she was shocked, it might not make her obedient, but the person in front of her made her feel inexplicably close.
The man walked with her for a while, and came to a house lit by candles.
He put her on the bench: "Sit and wait for me."
After a while, he came in with a lantern and put a bowl of meat porridge on the table: "Eat it."
The little dumpling ate the meat porridge with relish, and the tender cheeks on both sides bulged, covering half of his small face.
He leaned against the door and looked at her strangely.
He didn't know what was going on today, he never cared about his own business, but when he saw the little girl surrounded by vicious dogs in the town, he couldn't help driving all the vicious dogs away. I finally got home and was about to go to bed, but my heart was always restless. I went out to find someone, and brought it back with an exception.
The little dumpling was full of food and drink, covered his dirty face, and asked him seriously: "My name is Tantai Zimi, everyone calls me Ami, what's your name?"
"Bai Ziqian."
Bai Ziqian led her to a room: "This is where my mother lived before she died. You can rest here tonight, and I will take you to the county office tomorrow."
Ami nodded.
After a long time, he reached out and removed the rice grains from her small mouth.
Ami looked up at him, suddenly feeling a little nostalgic.
If her father was still there, would he treat her so gently
A Mi was lying on the bed, the cotton wool was sun-dried by Bai Ziqian in the daytime, with the breath of sunshine. The cubs of the Phoenix family grow slowly, no less than Susu who has been raised in the shell for ten thousand years, and can become an adult a hundred years after the shell is broken.
She doesn't need to sleep, but she has developed the habit of absorbing spiritual energy in her sleep and likes to rest very much.
At dawn the next day, Ami heard a rustling sound outside the window.
There seemed to be people in the yard.
A Mi was lying in front of the window looking, and saw a woman in sackcloth come in cursing: "Bai Ziqian, I heard that you hunted a deer, you don't know how to give this kind of good things to our family, and you want to marry our family. Dongyan, what about the deer?"
Bai Ziqian looked at her coldly.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the woman already knew what kind of temper he was, pushed him away, and went to his house to find him.
"Do you think that you are a poor boy who has studied for a few years and is worthy of Dongyan? If you don't go to Beijing to take the exam, you won't be famous if you want to be famous, and you don't know how to share the things you hunt with our family. A few days ago, Li Yuan came to the door. If I propose marriage, I should promise Dong Yan to him, which is better than marrying Dong Yan to you and living a hard life with you."
Bai Ziqian sneered and said nothing, watching the woman looking for deer in the yard like a headless fly.
"Where are you hiding, deer?"
The woman pushed the door open, but did not find the deer, but saw a pink-carved and jade-cut female doll standing by the window.
A Mi said with akimbo: "The deer belongs to him, why give it to you?"
The woman looked at Ami, then looked back at Bai Ziqian, her face changed: "Okay, you have such an old daughter outside! Bah, wait, I'll tell my family Dongyan to go."
Bai Ziqian got used to it alone and almost forgot about A Mi.
As soon as Liu Mu said, he realized that A Mi's eyebrows were indeed somewhat similar to his own, and he frowned.
Mother Liu ran out the door and shouted: "Bai Ziqian, who killed this day, gave birth to a child with a wild woman outside, and the villagers are here to testify..."
Bai Ziqian said coldly, "Shut up, try to talk nonsense again!"
He took out the bow and arrow hanging outside the house and aimed it at Mother Liu.
Mother Liu is usually savage, and Bai Ziqian has a cold and world-weary attitude. I have never seen him get angry and pull the bow.
Thinking that this person is not even afraid of black bears, Mother Liu immediately fell silent.
"You, you wait, I'll go to Li Zhengjing."
Changle Town has a rule and promises.
When Bai Ziqian's family was still in decline, he married Liu Dongyan at the fingertips. It was Liu's family who climbed high. Later, an accident happened to Bai Ziqian's parents, and the Bai family quickly declined.
Liu Dongyan is one of the most beautiful women in the town. Mother Liu hopes that her daughter will break off the marriage and marry a rich woman.
It's a pity that in a place like Changle Town, she would be stabbed in the spine if she dared to break off the marriage. It has been delayed until now, Liu Dongyan is seventeen, and the two have not yet gotten married.
Mother Liu is thick-skinned, and on the grounds of a marriage contract, she visits the door from time to time to drop in some things.
This time is good, if it is proved that Bai Ziqian has children, the person who broke off the marriage and justified the loss will become Bai Ziqian.
Bai Ziqian took back the bow and arrow, took the little girl out of the house, calmly brought hot water out to wipe her face and wash her hands: "Go to the county office in a while."
Ami asked childishly, "Uncle Bai, why did she say I'm your daughter? Are you really Ami's father?"
Bai Ziqian looked at the pink face in front of him: "She's talking nonsense, don't you have parents?"
The little dumpling nodded: "You don't have a devilish breath on you, so you can't be Ami's father."
"Hmm." He lowered his eyes.
Bai Ziqian was about to go to the county seat. He had already processed the deerskin and venison last night, and he was going to take them to the county seat to sell.
This time there was a little more dough.
Along the way, Bai Ziqian saw that A Mi was looking at everything strangely, and Xiao Tuanzi's purple grape-like eyes widened in amazement.
He sold the deer and took her little hand to the county government office, but when he saw the words "The mirror hangs high", his eyes were cold.
Bai Ziqian looked at the ignorant little dumpling beside him.
She was born so well that she really went to the county office. If the county magistrate was kind, it would be fine, but if she had bad thoughts, she would not be able to go home.
In the end, Mi followed him out of the house, but instead of being sent away, he got a few little candy people instead.
A Miwo is eating a candy man in Bai Ziqian's arms, thinking that the world is really nice!
Bai Ziqian also bought her a lot of small clothes: "I will take you to the place where I found you every day, and your family should come to find you."
After all, it is impossible for such a small powder group to be deliberately discarded by someone.
Ami held the little candy man in his mouth and said vaguely yes.
For Ami, spending a few days by his side was just a blink of an eye during cultivation. Susu will only go back to the demon world in a hundred years, and she has a lot of time to find her father.
As expected, Bai Ziqian accompanied her to wait under the tree for several days, but instead of waiting for Ami's family, Liu Dongyan came first.
Liu Dongyan ran out regardless of Mother Liu's obstruction, and looked at A Mi next to Bai Ziqian in shock, with tears in her eyes: "Brother Ziqian, is what my mother said true? Is she really your daughter?"
Because of Xiao Ami, there were already rumors in the town that Bai Ziqian had a baby with another woman outside.
Bai Ziqian knew these rumors and scoffed.
At this moment, Liu Dongyan asked, many people had already gathered around.
Bai Ziqian said coldly, "No."
"Then why does she live in your house?"
Seeing the crowd pointing at Bai Ziqian, Ami said, "He didn't lie, my name is Tantai Zimi, and my father's name is Tantai Jin! Uncle Bai is waiting for my mother to come. pick me up."
Liu Dongyan was skeptical: "Really? Then... where did your parents go?"
A Mi said, "Mother is far away, and Daddy is dead."
Liu Dongyan's ugly face turned bright, it turned out to be a widow's child.
It was impossible for Bai Ziqian to like such a woman, so she felt relieved.
The next day, Liu Dongyan came to the door, brought a basket of wild vegetables, and said earnestly, "Brother Ziqian, my mother said, as long as you pay 100 taels of silver for employment, or get admitted as a scholar, let us get married."
Bai Ziqian was wiping arrows in the yard and smiled when he heard the words: "Oh."
Liu Dongyan didn't know what he meant, she put down the wild vegetables, bit her lip and said, "I'm seventeen this year."
Ami squatted beside them and looked at them.
"My family is poor and I don't have one hundred taels of silver. Miss Liu should find someone else."
Liu Dongyan's eyes were going to be red with anger. She knew clearly that Bai Ziqian looked down, but he was good at it.
And when she was a child, she accidentally heard that Bai Ziqian's literary talent was the first, and he was a scholar at the thirteenth grade, but she didn't know why he didn't take the township examination all these years.
Some of those classmates who are not as good as him have become master scholars.
Liu Dongyan saw his outstanding appearance and unlimited potential, but Bai Ziqian was content to spend his days in the small town, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and now he has picked up a little girl at home.
She wanted a good son-in-law, but Na Qiao refused to marry.
But the person she likes is unwilling to worship the emperor, stay away from the temple, and is willing to be an ordinary person.
Liu Dongyan was reluctant to give up the potential glory in him. She knew that as long as Bai Ziqian was willing, he would be a superior person, but she also knew that she could not afford to delay, so she came up with the idea of one hundred taels of silver.
Thanks to her daring to mention it, she only paid twenty taels to concubines outside the staff, but she managed Bai Ziqian to ask for one hundred taels.
Bai Ziqian's face was cold, and there was a slight sneer in his eyes.
Just when Liu Dongyan was about to argue with him, A Mi who was biting the candied haws cheered: "Mother!"
The crisp, childish voice attracted the attention of both of them.
The little powder dumpling ran towards the door.
Bai Ziqian raised his eyes, and under the boundless sunset, a woman in a white dress came slowly.
The colorful clouds are the shadows, the red lips are bright, and the cinnabar between the eyebrows is burning.
She stepped on the endless summer in the world, hugged the small powder ball that rushed up, and scolded anxiously: "Ami, how can you run around, Jingde and Xiying are both worried!"
She nervously checked whether Xiao Danzi was injured, and Xiao Fan Tuan hugged her neck in an attachment.
As a woman, Liu Dongyan had never seen such stunning beauty before, and for a while, she forgot the purpose of her coming to Bai Ziqian, and she was stunned.
With a loud bang, Su Su looked up.
At dusk, the bow and arrow in the man's hand fell to the ground. He lowered his eyes and bent over to pick it up.
After a long period of time, she was caught off guard, and she looked for someone who should have been lost for a thousand years, and just appeared in front of her eyes.
