Because of the heavy rain, there is a fresh earthy smell in the air, and the trees are also washed and refreshed and appear more vibrant. The sunlight passed through the gaps in the branches and leaves and sprinkled onto the earth, and the rays of light formed gave the young shoots that had just broken through the ground to put on warm clothes, exuding a warm luster.
On the mountain road, a young girl was chatting like a elf around a little girl whose eyebrows had not yet opened but was already beautiful. The silver bell-like laughter and the chirping of birds are intertwined and complement each other.
"Sister Qin, are you tired? Do you want to take a break?" Xiaoyu laughed and jumped ahead, not feeling tired.
Ji Yueqin walked slowly behind, just smiled and shook her head at Xiaoyu's question, but in fact, she has been pampered all the time and she has no idea how many blood bubbles she has called. But she knew that the longer she stayed, the more danger approached, so she didn't dare to stay and didn't want to stay.
From early morning to dusk, the two of them finally walked to the gate of the city, Xiaoyu's sweat wet her clothes, and her eyes were full of exhaustion. And Ji Yueqin, who endured the pain of the blood blisters under her feet bursting with determination, could no longer walk, and stood at the gate of the city, gasping for breath. Then the two smiled at each other again.
The soldier at the door looked at the two girls and shouted loudly: "Those two girls, don't hurry into the city, the door will be closed!" Xiaoyu quickly pulled Ji Yueqin and walked into the city, " Brother Bing, let's go in right now." Ji Yueqin was finally dragged into the city by Xiao Yulian, and the two of them sat resting on the root of the city wall regardless of their image.
Xiaoyu seemed to have achieved her goal, but suddenly became discouraged and a little overwhelmed, "Sister Qin... why are we in the city?" Xiaoyu thought that Ji Yueqin was only talking to her about going to the city, but not with her. She asked what she wanted to do.
Ji Yueqin took out the mutton fat hosta, waved it and said, "Let's go to dinner."
Xiaoyu looked at Ji Yueqin in surprise, looked at the seriousness in Ji Yueqin's eyes, and asked, "How... how do you eat? Sister Qin, are you bluffing me?" In addition to buying medicine for his father, Xiaoyu came here once The city has been left in the thatched hut by the river, so it is unfamiliar to such an object, and she doesn't know what it is for except to look good.
Ji Yueqin smiled mysteriously and said, "Just come with me." So she pulled Xiaoyu and stood up with difficulty.
The piercing pain came from the soles of his feet, and the crimson on Ji Yueqin's face was turned white by the piercing pain, as if he could no longer walk. Xiaoyu looked at Ji Yueqin nervously, and said at a loss, "What's wrong with you, sister Qin? Why are you so pale?"
Ji Yueqin smiled at Xiaoyu with difficulty and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about it." Holding the wall, Ji Yueqin slowly stood up. Xiaoyu helped Ji Yueqin to walk on the road, Ji Yueqin smiled and asked a passerby, "Brother, do you know where there is a pawn shop?" The passerby looked at the two little girls strangely and asked the location of the pawn shop , but didn't say anything, just pointed to the left and said, "Turn a corner to the left over there is Jubaozhuang, just opposite Jingming Tea Zhuang."
Ji Yueqin looked at the direction of the passerby's finger, thanked the passerby with a smile, and walked towards Jubaozhuang. Just as they were walking to Jubaozhuang, they found a group of people huddled beside the imperial list, and only one scholar read aloud: "Fengtian, the emperor's edict said, now the rebels have been eliminated, but there are the rest of the party. If it has not been eliminated, the bounty is now 10,000 taels for capture." There are also two portraits attached to this imperial list. Out of curiosity, Xiaoyu leaned forward to look, and when she suddenly found out that the portrait of the woman was actually Ji Yueqin, she immediately screamed. Fortunately, Ji Yueqin's face was covered with dust and dirty mud after climbing mountains and wading into the city. When Xiaoyu wanted to scream, Ji Yueqin quickly covered Xiaoyu's mouth and pulled Xiaoyu to the corner of a nearby alley.
"Sister Xiaoyu, now you know my background..." Ji Yueqin said with a gloomy expression, and she didn't know if Xiaoyu would send her to the government for the 10,000 taels of gold. After all, she is now Can't run away.
Xiaoyu shook his head like a rattle and said, "Sister Qin is my family, and I will protect you. I will always be by Sister Qin's side." Xiaoyu's firm tone has the magic power not to be rejected .
Ji Yueqin stared blankly at Xiaoyu's clear eyes, nodded, her tone revealed warmth and a little bit of dependence, hugged Xiaoyu and said, "Thank you."
Xiaoyu rubbed Ji Yueqin's head and said, "What a silly girl."
After finishing speaking, the two girls left the alley and walked towards Jubaozhuang. Jubaozhuang is worthy of the name of Jubao. The plaque and decoration of Zhuangzi are full of atmosphere, which can show the wealth and momentum of a master. The Jingming Teahouse opposite Jubaozhuang is also a teahouse with a corresponding name. The tea guests quietly tasted the tea in the cup, and their eyes showed their respect and appreciation for the tea. The air is filled with the faint fragrance of tea and a hint of sweet sweet-scented osmanthus cake. The two girls walked from the river to the city without eating. At this time, they smelled the aroma of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and both their stomachs groaned at the same time.
Xiaoyu embarrassed her cheeks with embarrassment, and her red face made her shy and cute. Although there were dirty marks on her face, it still did not affect her cuteness. Ji Yueqin looked at Xiaoyu's cute appearance and said, "We'll buy as many sweet-scented osmanthus cakes as you want." After speaking, she tapped Xiaoyu's nose, "Gluttony."
At this time, Xiaoyu was a little unconvinced and said, "Sister Qin is just greedy... I wasn't the only one who was grumbling just now." After speaking, he pretended to be angry, as if he didn't want to care about Ji Yueqin.
Seeing this, Ji Yueqin hurriedly said: "Oh, good sister, don't be angry, I know it's wrong." After speaking, she looked at Xiaoyu pitifully.
Xiaoyu found Ji Yueqin's pitiful appearance and felt a little funny: "Well, I'm not angry. You can't make fun of me in the future."
Ji Yueqin made a face when she saw this, and stopped talking. So she pulled Xiaoyu and wanted to walk into Jubaozhuang, but was stopped by Xiaoer at the door, "Where is the little beggar? Where is the cool place to stay, this is not a Shantang." Xiaoer's voice was sharp Strictly, with a hint of sarcasm indeed.
Ji Yueqin realized after experiencing a drastic change that sometimes even family affection can be wiped out in this world, not to mention that in this world where power and money are intertwined, there will be feelings of perfection. Thinking of her mother's tragic death, her father faced them alone in order to let them escape. She couldn't figure out why she only understood that she needed to seek asylum to clear up her father's injustice, so that her parents could rest in peace under Jiuquan. She clenched her fists, but suddenly realized that her hand was holding the other hand, and the warmth of this palm pulled Ji Yueqin out of her hatred. Fortunately, there are small fish.
Xiaoyu looked at her worriedly, and the arrogant little Er was about to pick up the broom and drive the two of them out of the door. Ji Yueqin's face suddenly sank, the atmosphere hit freezing point, but that small body exudes an irresistible sense of oppression, making Xiao Er feel breathless. Ji Yueqin said coldly to Xiao Er, "Where did the dog slaves come from calling at the door? It turns out that Jubao Village is such a dilapidated place." Ji Yueqin's tone was full of disdain and ridicule, as if she had come by mistake. The place seems to be.
The shopkeeper saw that the atmosphere was a bit stiff. Although the girl was young, she stood there straight with a small body. She was neither humble nor arrogant. She had that unique cold temperament, so she quickly said, "Why don't you let the two girls in?"
Xiao Er nodded and bowed to Ji Yueqin at first glance, completely opposite to the attitude just now, "Miss, please." And Ji Yueqin didn't even look at Xiao Er, and walked straight to the counter. The shopkeeper showed a dissatisfied look at Xiaoer. Xiaoer didn't dare to look at the shopkeeper, so he stood on the side and stood quietly.
Ji Yueqin took out the mutton-fat hosta and handed it to the shopkeeper wearing a gold thread embroidery suit. The shopkeeper was also surprised, but did not realize why a wild child could come up with such a high-quality hosta. The shopkeeper felt that this hosta was nothing special at a glance, so he looked at the hosta carefully. This butterfly pendant hosta is a naturally formed butterfly-shaped jade pendant accidentally obtained by my father when he was on an expedition to the Western Regions. Later, it was made from a top-quality suet jade. She also knew that this hairpin must be very valuable and should be pawned for a good price.
The shopkeeper was also gently stroking the hosta, but did not make a sound. Ji Yueqin just straightened her waist and stood there without moving or making a sound, just watching quietly. At this moment, the shopkeeper raised his head, instead of laughing and haggling with Ji Yueqin, he squinted at the dirty Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu.
Suddenly, he suddenly said, "Someone, catch these two little thieves and send them to the government!"
