Wei Guying fell from the third floor and crashed all the way through the second floor floor. He fell to the ground floor with two loud thumps, and the broken beams and columns that collapsed later buried him tightly.

All the collapsed objects stopped outside the colorful circle of light about two feet around Wei Guying. After calming down for a while, Guying raised her hand to wipe away the drool left at the corner of her mouth when she cried just now. She felt that the temperature around her was still very high and she did not dare to act rashly.

, so he stayed in that small space honestly.

Only then did Wei Guying have time to recall the strange thing that happened to him. Where did this weird colorful aperture come from? It was there when he opened his eyes. It should have been there before. But he had kept his eyes closed before, so

I had no idea what was going on around me. I only knew that when I was in despair, I felt the tan between my chest and abdomen tremble slightly, but it didn't seem to have much to do with the colorful aperture.

I couldn't figure it out. Gu Ying had never been a child who accepted death. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After struggling for such a long time, Gu Ying felt very tired, so he squatted on the ground and fell asleep after a while.

I don’t know how long it took, but a burst of noisy cheers woke up Lone Ying. Lone Ying found that the surroundings were no longer so hot. He tried to push the burnt wood above his head, and the light came in through the gap. It turned out that it was already dawn.

.

Listening to the cheers coming from outside, Guying's face suddenly turned ugly. At this time, he heard Liu Xueqin's roar (which sounded like a roar to Guying) "...You bad guy, you deserve to be burned to death, hurry up

Get out!" Unfortunately, he didn't hear Liu Xueqin's previous words.

Wei Guying felt that her heart felt so cold. When she heard that she was dead, people outside would revel like this. Especially cousin Xue'er's words made Guying's still young heart hurt like a needle pricking her.

Wei Guying felt lonely like never before. He never thought that his death would cause so many people to revel in joy. After all, a nine-year-old child's thoughts are still very simple. His outstanding performance in the academy in recent years has attracted many young people.

He didn't understand how people were disgraced; he didn't understand how old or teenage children could hold grudges. He had no idea that he had unknowingly made many people hate him. He was just a child, nine years old.

's children.

He has been particularly fond of his cousin who is only a few hours younger than him since he was a child. He is afraid that she will get angry, he is afraid that she will suffer, and he is afraid that she will be wronged. She looks down on him and he knows that she likes music, but he does not like music, but

But he took music as an elective just to please her and see her smile.

But just now, he heard the most chilling words.

"You bad guy, you deserve to be burned to death!... You deserve to be burned to death... You deserve to be burned to death..."

The harsh words hit Wei Guying's heart over and over again. The joy of surviving the fire had long since disappeared. He didn't want to go out, face the carnival crowd outside, or see the most distressed sister Xue'er because he didn't have it.

With a dead and disappointed expression, he fell back to the ground blankly, his expression numb.

…………

Fifteen miles outside the south gate of Yandu City, in a small forest beside the official road, Wei Guying knelt in front of an irregularly shaped earthen tomb, her shoulders trembling.

This earthen grave was built for Gu Ying's mother by the brothers Wei, Liu and Wei. Every year during the Shangyuan Festival, Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and New Year's Eve, they would bring Little Guying to visit his mother's grave.

"Mom, Shadow is leaving, and there will be no one to talk to you in the future. People say that Shadow is a bad guy, a very bad bad guy. Maybe I am really bad. Even cousin Xueer wants Shadow to be burned to death.

.They don’t like me, and I don’t want to stay here anymore and be annoying.”

After wiping her tears, Gu Ying continued to sob and said: "I didn't tell Grandpa, nor did I tell Dad Six or Seven that Shadow was a bad guy, so I just let them think I was burned to death, so as not to embarrass them."

Wei Guying sat silently for a while, turned over and kowtowed a few times, wiped his face with the back of his dirty hands, turned around and rushed out of the woods towards the official road towards the south.

What Gu Ying didn't know was that when his grandfather Wei Shu heard the bad news about him when he went to court, he fainted in the court in front of the emperor. After he left, the brothers Wei, Liu, and Wei did not eat or drink, and they did not distinguish between each other.

I dug frantically at the fire site day and night for three whole days.

From then on, there was an old man in the Wei Mansion who had been sighing for many years, and two drunkards who drank all day long.

…………

At the Jingjin Ferry, a long convoy was preparing to board a boat to cross the river. The cars were all loaded with goods. The leading cart had a big flag with the two characters "Fifth" in seal script with flying dragons and phoenixes. It turned out to be the number one in Jiangnan.

The convoy of five families.

The fifth family was one of the four largest merchant families in the south of the Yangtze River and even in the Tang Empire of China. The other three families were the Zhou family in Yandu, the Tong family in Xishu, and the Shangguan family in the Central Plains.

In the convoy waiting to board the ship, a group of big men were still carefully checking whether the goods on the vehicles they were responsible for were bundled. Under the scorching sun, their bronzed shirts were covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.

Next to one of the cars, a shirtless man with a wry smile on his face bowed and shouted to the car: "Young Master Yuan Shu, please don't torment me. I am clumsy and managed to tie up the goods. You

Just treat me like a fart, okay?"

"Brother Daniu, why did I bother you? I'm using your car to climb and exercise. If this doesn't work, how about we discuss it?" A seven or eight-year-old child peeked out from the roof of the car.

He raised his head and said with cunning eyes.

"Zhong, I just ask you to come down quickly. Everything you keep saying is right."

"Then tell me, has Sister Cuihua let you breastfeed? Is it delicious? Tell me and I will come down."

There was a burst of laughter from everyone around. Da Niu glared at everyone around him, his neck turned red, turned his head and said in a low voice: "Little ancestor, little ancestor, can you please lower your voice? You... where are you from?

People all over the world are yelling at these nonsense things because they think that I, a big cow, have lost all my face along the way. My wife and I have nothing to do with each other, so don’t listen to their nonsense."

There was another burst of laughter all around, and Fifth Yuan Shu was making sly faces in the car again, making Da Niu so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in.

"Uncle, do you want help with the work? I don't want wages, I just need to take care of the food." Daniel was embarrassed when he suddenly felt someone pulling his coat from behind, and a childish voice came from behind. He was furious.

The big cow turned around suddenly, opened his mouth and was about to get angry. But when he saw the child in front of him, the big cow's anger disappeared immediately.

"Poor baby!" Daniel knelt down and touched the child's short, burnt and curly hair. Only the eyes on the child's dark little face were clean, and what could be called clothes on his body were all in pieces.

There were some yellow and burnt rags hanging on each piece, and the exposed flesh was all black, and the true color could not be seen at all.

This child is Wei Guying who ran out of Yandu. When he heard what Daniel said, the little guy pouted and said stubbornly: "Uncle, I'm not pitiful. I'm not a beggar. I'm just asking you if you have any work to do."

A group of men gathered around and looked at this strange child. Da Niu looked at the child in front of him dumbfounded, and tried his best to say in what he thought was a gentle voice: "Little brother, don't call me uncle, I'm very young.

Just call me Brother Daniu. Brother Daniu asks you, what is your name and where are your parents? Are you separated from your parents?"

"My name is Guying. I haven't had my parents since I was a child. Is it useful to tell you this? Just tell me if I have any work to do." Wei Guying said impatiently.

"Are you looking for a job? Yes, it's useless to ask Brother Daniu. It doesn't count if he says it. Just ask me." Fifth Yuan Shu stood up and got out of the car, looked Wei Guying up and down, and then said, "This

He is pitifully small. Let me tell you, my father said that our family does not raise a breadwinner..."

"If you have any conditions, just tell me." Wei Guying's temper was impatient to hear such nonsense, and she interrupted the fifth young master impatiently.

"Hey, you are not a big person, and your tone is not small. Okay, ok, I will tell you, as long as you carry this bag of cotton yarn off the car and put it back on, I will accept you, how about it? Don't tell me

You're scared!" Mr. Yuan Shu turned his eyes and said to Wei Guying, a pack of cotton yarn weighs more than a hundred kilograms.

Wei Guying didn't say much. She jumped onto the cart, picked up a bag of cotton yarn and threw it on the ground. Then she jumped out of the car and grabbed the bag of cotton yarn without making any gestures. The bag of cotton yarn was too big, and Guying's body was covered.

No shadow, that scene was as funny as it was. Hearing Gu Ying's "Hi" sound, the cotton gauze bag flew steadily back to the car. He didn't even look at the stunned expressions of the big men around him, and looked at the fifth yuan.

Shu said: "Is this okay?"

The fifth Yuan Shu's mouth had not yet closed, and he stared blankly at Lone Ying, who was shorter than him. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he held Lone Ying's black hands with admiration on his face: "Wow.

, Hero, big brother, you are so powerful! Can you be the master of Yuan Shu, or you can accept me as your younger brother! I will go and tell dad, Yuan Shu will mix with Brother Guying from now on, okay?...

"

Without waiting for Gu Ying to answer, Wuyuan Shu jumped up and down and ran towards the cart in front. As he ran, he turned back and shouted: "It's settled, brother, don't go back on your word."

Lone Ying is speechless...
