In the snowy country in the afternoon, the north wind is strong. When I lean in and look out, I see snowflakes all over the ground. The scenery is boundless. The green mountains and green cypresses are shrouded in a snow mist. There is a faint black spot hovering in the blue sky between the vast sky and the earth. It is a lonely foraging cat. Eagle. This scene is picturesque, this feeling is like poetry. Shen Qinghua looked at the strange northern country, and felt the coldness on her body getting worse. She thought about the uncertain future of joining Khitan with her father, thought about the uncertainty of Lu Qinglin's life and death, and thought about her father who was seriously injured. .I also thought of the strange Khitan boy who saved my life. These days, he seemed to be in a dream. I couldn't help but ask softly: "Dad, are you okay?"
Shen Qinghua responded with a heavy reply, but did not say anything. Seeing that her father was fine, Shen Qinghua felt relieved and said to herself: "I don't know if that little four is reliable? He won't tell others about our whereabouts, will he?" ?”
Zhongdao said in a low voice: "I think that young man is definitely not a Khitan, and the style of Yinlong Villa he mentioned belongs to us Han people. In addition, this child is innocent and innocent. Even if he is willing to help us, he will definitely not inform others of our whereabouts." .”
Shen Qinghua relaxed a little after hearing this, and said: "Qinglin, I don't know where he is? Has he escaped?"
"Qinglin is full of tricks and has strong adaptability. It shouldn't be difficult to escape. I just don't know if he can find us."
"Although this place is a bit crude, it seems to be very hidden. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Qinglin to find it."
"Qinglin can easily find this place in this Hutianxuedi."
"Is it because of the footprints? Oh my God, my God! Wouldn't Yelu Hugu also come with me?" Shen Qinghua couldn't bear to say any more and looked at her father timidly.
"Of course. Now it seems we can only hope for our own good. If the waiter doesn't come to us by night, we will leave here."
Back in his room, Xiaosi threw away his felt hat and sat at the table with his chin in his hands, meditating. The boy's face was fair and well-proportioned, and he looked more like an adult when he sat alone and meditated. Recalling the fight in the snow, Lu Qinglin's white horse and silver The spear was unparalleled, and every move seemed to be right in front of his eyes. He took out the door god from his arms and looked at Qin Qiong and Yuchi, with a strong desire in his eyes. Suddenly he thought of the beautiful Southern Dynasty girl Shen Qinghua, and for a moment he unexpectedly I was a little confused. I felt dizzy, so I stood up and ate randomly. Suddenly I thought of the Shen family's father and daughter in the earthen kiln. I hurriedly ran into the kitchen and packed a big bag of flatbread and beef. When I saw the pot, There were also a few cooked sweet potatoes, which were still warm, and they were all wrapped up. They were put in their arms and they quickly came out of the kitchen and went straight to the back door.
Just a few steps away, a figure jumped out from the door lintel, stretched out his arms to block the way, and shouted: "Brother Xiaosi, where are you going? Why don't you play with me?" His voice was clear, his smile was as bright as a flower, two o'clock. Her dark eyes flashed with aura, she was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, and her hair was full of pigtails, but she was a teenage girl.
Xiaosi was startled, but when he saw clearly what was coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Xiaoxiao, I have to go out for something. You wait for me at home. I will play with you when I come back!"
The little girl pouted: "No! Where are you going? I want to go with you!"
"I'm going to drink flower wine, do you want to go too?"
"What is drinking flower wine? Can you take me there?"
Xiao Si secretly complained that the joke was too big, and he had no time to explain, so he had to change his words and said: "I went to Nanzhuang on your father's order to do something. If you go, your father will have to spread my ass! You stay at home." Wait, I’ll put the Kongming Lantern down for you tomorrow, okay?”
This little girl is naturally the daughter of the housekeeper of Yinlong Villa, her name is Ling Xiaoxiao.
Ling Xiaoxiao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then go ahead, you must play with me tomorrow!"
"Okay, okay, I'll play with you tomorrow!" Xiao Si smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "Xiaoxiao, where is your father now?"
Ling Xiaoxiao said: "Today, my father was gloomy early in the morning, but after noon he felt better for some reason. He even smiled at me and said he would take me to be the doorkeeper tomorrow! Now, he and the master are out,
It should be in the Governor's Mansion."
Xiaosi said: "That's just right. Why don't you go to your father's place and steal some golden medicine for me?"
Ling Xiaoxiao said: "What do you want this for?"
"Don't worry about it, I will certainly be useful!"
Ling Xiaoxiao was not willing to give up, so she naturally asked to the end. Xiaosi had no choice but to make nonsense, and finally coaxed Ling Xiaoxiao to go to her father's house and steal a large bag of golden medicine and gave it to Xiaosi, and they broke up
He still never forgets to say: "As promised, you will take me to play tomorrow!"
Xiaosi took the medicine in his hand and was so happy that he said: "You are such a verbose woman!"
Ling Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and when she was thinking about what "mother-in-law" meant, Xiaosi had already pushed away and ran away without a trace.
When I rushed to the earthen house and saw that the Shen family's father and daughter were safe and sound, I felt relieved. I took out some food and ate it with them. Then I gathered some firewood, lit the fireplace, and boiled a large pot of water. We didn't have much time.
The room warmed up and steamed up, and then he gave Zhongdao the golden medicine. Zhongdao leaned on the earthen bed, his face no longer as painful as before. He saw Xiaosi busy with other things, including his father and daughter.
The two of them served thoughtfully and thoughtfully. Then they asked: "Xiaosi, how old are you this year?"
Xiao Si added firewood to the fireplace and replied: "I will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year."
"Xiaosi, why don't you have a last name? Where are your parents?" Shen Qinghua asked.
"I have no parents. The housekeeper picked me up in the snow."
"Then Yinlong Villa is your home?" These words were asked seriously.
"Of course. I grew up in the villa, and that is my home."
"Yinlong Villa..." Zhongdao pondered for a moment and said, "Is the owner of your village a Han Chinese?"
"This...I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm not a Khitan. I'm not a Khitan, our housekeeper is not a Khitan, and none of the slaves in our villa are Khitan."
"Why is it called Yinlong Villa?" Shen Qinghua suddenly asked.
"I heard from everyone that there is a dragon hidden in our villa, so it is called Hidden Dragon Villa."
"This is a very impressive name!" Shen Dao said leisurely.
Xiaosi turned around after hearing this, with a proud look on his face: "The owner of my village is very powerful, even the Khitan Emperor treated him with three points of courtesy!"
"Oh?" Zhong said with interest: "What's his name?"
"The owner of my village is called Han Kuangsi, and he is the famous King Yan of Khitan!"
Zhongdao nodded, thinking that it was him! This Han Kuang Siguan paid homage to the envoy in Beijing and was granted the title of King of Yan. He had a close friendship with the current Khitan Emperor Yelv Xian and had superb medical skills. His father Han Zhigu was closely related to the Song Dynasty.
Quite deep. Now that we are trapped in the northern part of the Great Wall, if we can get Han Kuangsi's help to escape, it will be twice the result with half the effort. He then tentatively said: "Xiaosi, my father and daughter are in a difficult situation now. We want the owner of your village to help us. Can you give us
Introduction?"
Xiaosi shook his head when he heard this: "My farm owner is often away from home, and he has not been seen for most of the month. Besides, I am a humble person, and I don't even dare to express my anger when I see my husband. How dare I give you anything?" Do you introduce me?"
Hearing this, Zhong Zhongdao was very depressed and remained silent. Shen Qinghua approached Xiao Si, squatted down, and said in a clear voice: "Xiao Si, is there any way you can send us away from here? Just cross Ningyuan and reach Yanmen Pass!" "
Xiaosi didn't know where Shen Qinghua was talking about "Ningyuan, Yanmen Pass", so he immediately said without thinking: "After tomorrow, the big brother named Lu comes here, I will hitch a carriage and take you there."
Shen Qinghua shook her head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, we are thousands of miles away from Yanmen Pass. Can you take us there with a carriage? How long will it take to get there?"
Xiao Si made a sound, opened his mouth hugely, and could no longer speak. At this time, there was a string of giggles outside the door, and someone said outside: "This is easy to handle, I beg my father to send someone to take you to the toilet." That's it!" The cotton door curtain was lifted with a sound, and the figure flashed, and a little girl in a red dress appeared in front of everyone. Her leather boots were still stained with snow, and the chill was still there on her rosy face, but her smile was as bright as the sun. It was Ling. Xiaoxiao has arrived.
Xiaosi jumped up, grabbed Ling Xiaoxiao's braid, and shouted loudly: "Little girl, it turns out you are following me!"
Ling Xiaoxiao grabbed Xiaosi's wrist and twisted it hard. She turned her body slightly to press on his arm joint, and reached out with her right hand to grab Xiaosi's throat. The movements were quick and methodical, and it was actually a standard small grappler. Xiaosi stepped back. , stretched his legs to kick the little girl's butt. Ling Xiaoxiao giggled, raised his leg and kicked Xiaosi's knee. Xiaosi was attacked on the leg but didn't care, stretched out his hand and pinched Ling Xiaoxiao's butt hard, scratching After getting on it, he twisted and twisted hard. Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't bear the pain, so she screamed, hit her elbow on Xiao Si's lower abdomen, turned around and slapped Xiao Si on the face, shouting: "Brother Xiao Si, you are going to die! Fuck you!" Why do you use so much force? My butt hurts so much!"
Xiaosi didn't change his expression and said confidently: "Who wants you to follow me?"
Ling Xiaoxiao pouted and said: "Didn't you say that my father sent you to Nanzhuang to do something? Why did you come to the kiln? Who are they?" As he spoke, he looked at the Shen family's father and daughter, and his eyes fell straight. On Shen Qinghua.
Xiaosi suddenly had a flattering smile on his face: "Xiaoxiao, this, I ask you to keep this a secret for me. Don't tell your father, otherwise he will spank me!"
"Hmph, I'll tell my dad when I get back and let him beat your ass!"
"You little girl are so unjust! I'll beat your butt to pieces first!"
At this time, Shen Qinghua suddenly said: "Xiao Si, who is this little sister? She is so beautiful!"
Hearing Shen Qinghua's compliments, Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes curled up and she felt happy. Xiaosi said lazily: "She is Xiaoxiao, how is she so beautiful? I didn't notice it!"
Ling Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue at Xiaosi, went over and took out Shen Qinghua's hand, looked at the Southern Dynasty woman up and down, and said: "Sister, are you from the Southern Dynasties? You are so beautiful! The hair on your head What’s that shiny thing? It’s so unique!”
Shen Qinghua took off the hairpin on her head and said with a smile: "This is a hairpin, used to fix hair. Do you like it? I'll give it to you then!"
Ling Xiaoxiao wanted to refuse, but the temptation of the golden hairpin made her keep silent. She reached out to take the hairpin and looked at it carefully. This kind of headdress was something that the Khitan people had never seen before. She had lived in Saibei since she was a child, so for Things in the Southern Dynasties were full of curiosity. She was overjoyed at the first sight, and her little face couldn't help but blush slightly. Shen Qinghua helped her put on the hairpin. The fire was burning at the moment, and the golden hairpin was pinned to Ling Xiaoxiao's black hair, giving it to the little girl. The girl added a bit of charm.
"Little sister, you just said that you asked your father to send us to Yanmen, right? Who is your father?" Shen Qinghua seized the opportunity and asked.
"My father is the steward of the villa. There are many carriages in our villa. If I ask him to take you to Yanmen, he will agree!"
At this time Zhongdao opened his eyes and said, "Little girl, may I ask what your father's name is?"
Ling Xiaoxiao blinked and thought for a moment before understanding the meaning of the name, and immediately replied: "My father's name is Ling Wanjun, and his courtesy name is Jizhou."
He nodded heavily and closed his eyes again, as if deep in thought, "After Zhou, after Zhou?" The word "Xindao" has a profound meaning. "Is your father a Han Chinese?"
"Yes, my father is Han Chinese."
"The Yinlong Villa was also built by your father, not by your owner Han Kuangsi, right?"
"Wow, you know this? That's amazing! It was indeed my father who built that villa. As for the master, he only took over the villa later."
He nodded heavily and leaned against the wall of fire and stopped talking. He didn't know what he was thinking. It was almost evening, the red sun was setting in the west, and from time to time there were crows returning to their nests across the sky. Shen Qinghua and Ling Xiaoxiao's little hands whispered. After talking for a while, Xiaosi stood up and looked at the sky. After giving some instructions, he took Ling Xiaoxiao and left the earthen house.
Dusk came over little by little, and the two of them walked on the snow one after another. Ling Xiaoxiao became lively again, and attacked Xiao Si from time to time. The two fought all the way and entered through the back door of the villa. Ling Xiaoxiao said: "Little Si Brother, don’t forget to light the Kongming Lantern for me tomorrow. Otherwise, I will ask my father to spank you!” After saying that, he jumped over, pulled down his felt hat and put it on his face, rubbed it, and ran away with a smile. .
Xiao Si straightened his felt hat, looked in the direction where Ling Xiaoxiao was running away and shouted: "Little girl, I'll spread your ass first tomorrow!"
