The thick fog dispersed, and a bright moon hung high on the hill where Sanli Pavilion was located. The water-like moonlight illuminated the hill and the deserted pavilion in a clear and clear light.
A scholar in green clothes and a woman in red clothes were walking on the mountain road.
It was Li Qianyi and Guo Nanjun who had returned from eradicating the Golden Carp Temple.
"Sir, what should Xiaozhi do?"
Approaching the Huangting Pavilion, Guo Nanjun stopped.
Li Xianyue looked at her and said, "What do you think we should do?"
Guo Nanjun replied: "She still doesn't know that she is dead. She is still waiting for her parents to come to her and take her to see a doctor. How sad would she be if she knew the truth?"
"yes."
"Sir, can we take her with us? Or send her to Xiufeng Mountain. Miss Liu happens to be short of a temple priest, so that Xiaozhi can transform from a ghost into a divine attendant without having to suffer the pain of reincarnation."
Li Xianyue began to think deeply.
After a long time, he asked: "Nanjun, what do you think Xiaozhi wants most?"
Guo Nanjun thought for a while and replied: "What I want most is that her parents did not abandon her. They really came with money the next day and took her to see a doctor, and then she recovered from her serious illness."
"The family lived happily ever after."
"But this is no longer possible, after all, her parents..."
Li Changye interrupted: "No, it's possible!"
Guo Nanjun's big eyes were slightly surprised, and he was a little confused.
…
In the deserted pavilion, Xiaoqianjun was telling Xiaozhi some interesting things about Hanshan Academy.
Xiaozhi heard it very novel and very happy, and the two little girls laughed happily from time to time.
She also told Xiao Qianjun that she helped her mother cut grass to feed the pigs, and helped her father clean hunting equipment. Every time his father went to the mountains, he would pick some wild fruits for her and her younger siblings. They were very sweet and delicious.
Her younger brother is very young, only three years old, but he helps her with her work.
My younger sister is even younger, only one year old, but she likes to stick to her and will only fall asleep if she coaxes her at night.
This time she went to the county town with her father and mother-in-law to see a doctor. She didn't care about anything, but she missed her brother and sister a little.
She seemed to have just left home, but also seemed to have been away from home for a long time.
She won't go back tonight, and she doesn't know that her brother is reluctant to take out the candies he saved for her and eat them herself. If she doesn't eat them, they might go bad tomorrow.
I don't know if my sister can fall asleep without her coaxing her.
Alas, the little girl held her chin with one hand, feeling a little sad.
At this moment, Li Chaoyi and Guo Nanjun walked in.
"Big brother!"
Xiao Qianjun was very happy to see her senior brother back.
Xiaozhi was also very happy, and said with an innocent smile: "Big brother, big sister, you have been feeding the horses for a long time this time. Is the horse not very good and not eating grass?"
Li Chaoyi smiled and said, "It's a bit bad."
"Brother, you can call me next time you feed the horses. I know how to make the horses eat well."
"Okay, it must be called You."
Li Changye smiled warmly and touched Xiaozhi's little head.
At the same time, a trace of drunkenness drifted into the deserted pavilion.
…
Thirty Mile Pavilion.
A little girl of five or six years old, with her hands on her knees, sat obediently on a small bench in front of the pavilion, looking to the west.
A female businessman saw her cuteness and came up to chat with her: "Little girl, I see you have been sitting here alone for a long time. Do you want to go with your aunt? I happen to have a daughter at home who is as old as you. You can go with her."
She keeps her company."
The little girl shook her head: "No, thank you, aunt. My father and mother were in a hurry when they went out and forgot to bring their money bag. They went back to get it and will be back soon."
"Your father and mother will not come back."
"No, they will definitely come back. Daddy and Aniang never lie to Xiaozhi!"
The female merchant looked at this well-behaved and determined little girl and liked her more and more. She wanted to take her back to be her daughter's companion.
At this moment, a middle-aged couple hurried over from the mountain road.
When the little girl saw it, she immediately ran up to meet her: "Dad, grandma!"
The man opened his hands to catch the little girl who rushed towards her, and picked her up high.
He scratched her nose and asked with a smile: "My daughter has been waiting for a long time, right? It's because of my father and my mother that they shouldn't have left you here alone."
"It's okay, it didn't take long, I just sat there for a while, and my father and mother-in-law came back."
The woman next to me also felt a little guilty and said: "We brought more money this time. After seeing the doctor and curing the disease, we will buy you some pastries to eat. Don't you like Qian Lixiang's mung bean cakes the most?
Mom will buy you a whole box."
"Thank you, grandma. I'll just eat one. The remaining four will be left for my brother and sister."
"No, you ate it all. You won't give it to your younger brother and sister this time. If they want to eat it, I can buy it for them next time I go to the county town."
"Really? I can really eat five at a time? Then I will be full, right?"
"It doesn't matter if you're full. If you like it, I'll buy it for you."
"Yeah, grandma is the best grandma in the world!"
…
Then the couple took the little girl, said goodbye to the kind-hearted female merchant, and took a donkey cart to the county town.
When they arrived at Li's Medical Center in Xu County, the doctor took the little girl's pulse and examined her using medical exploratory techniques.
He said to the elderly couple: "It's just a small case of hysteria, nothing serious. I'll prescribe a prescription. You go back and boil the medicine according to the prescription and give it to the little girl. She will be cured in less than half a month."
The couple was overjoyed and offered a generous reward: "Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor!"
After coming out of the hospital, the couple took the little girl to Qianlixiang Pastry Shop and bought a whole box of mung bean cakes.
The little girl was eating and walking, her big eyes smiling like crescent moons.
…
Half a month later, the little girl's illness was indeed cured.
The couple sent her to a school in the town to study.
Mr. Xueshu is a scholar in blue shirt.
When the little girl saw him from a distance, she trotted over, bent down and bowed in obeisance, saying, "Ning Xiaozhi from Ningjia Village, have you met Mr."
Mr. Qingshan accepted the bow calmly.
The couple who came later offered bundles of repair.
After paying homage to the teacher, the little girl becomes a student of the school. Following the teacher, she can read and learn, learn the meaning of the scriptures, and gain a clear understanding of all things.
A few years later, Ning Xiaozhi, who had grown into a young girl, went to the county town to take part in the boy examination, but failed.
I participated for two more years and still failed.
But Miss Xiaozhi was not discouraged at all, but was very happy.
Because she took the scientific examination in the past few years, she made many friends and learned how to make pastries.
Her parents wanted her to continue studying and try the boy test again, but she refused.
It happened that the shopkeeper of Qianlixiang's pastry shop was going to join her children in the county town, so she took over Qianlixiang and opened the pastry shop.
The young shopkeeper of a pastry shop who loves to eat and likes to be busy has a prosperous life.
Three years later, a daughter of the Ning family had grown up. The shopkeeper Xiaozhi met the scholar named Zhang who was passing through the county town on his way to the county town to take the provincial examination, and they fell in love with each other.
A month later, the results of the provincial examination were announced, and a scholar named Zhang passed the exam. After returning to his hometown, he reported to his parents and came to marry him with three gifts and six invitations.
Ninghu and his wife agreed, and Miss Xiaozhi and Zhang Juren got married on an auspicious day.
After worshiping the Heaven and Earth and the High Hall, Miss Xiaozhi and Zhang Juren bowed affectionately.
With this worship, a good relationship will be formed forever, they will be matched with the same name, and a written note will be written to Hong Kong, containing the mandarin duck genealogy.
A few years later, Zhang and Ning had two children and a prosperous family business.
Another twenty years later, Ningzi was the top beauty in high school and became famous all over the world; Ningnu married a scholar from the same county and gave birth to a grandson.
Time flies, and thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Old Xianggong Zhang has passed away, and the young girl who was studying at that time, Shopkeeper Xiaozhi, has become an old woman with white hair.
The son, who was in his prime, had an upright official reputation and a good reputation throughout the court. He became an official in another place and sent his children to his hometown.
Mrs. Ning left all the affairs in the house to her daughter-in-law, watered the flowers and cut the grass every day, and entertained her grandchildren.
One sunny afternoon, Mrs. Ning, who was taking a nap with her children and grandchildren, drove west with a kind and serene look.
The children and grandchildren were crying and alarmed the whole house.
When Ning Zi returned home, Ning Nu came to see her off. In front of the mourning hall, dozens of close relatives kowtowed together.
With this bow, Miss Xiaozhi's life comes to an end.
…
The drunkenness is waning, and the dream of Huangliang wakes up.
The cold and bright moon still shines brightly on the hills and deserted pavilions.
The little girl Xiaozhi in the thirty-mile pavilion has a weak figure and slowly disappears.
She looked at the three people in front of her and showed a sweet smile.
"Big brother, thank you!"
Looking at the direction of Ningjia Village again, the little soul turned into a breeze, blowing on the eaves of the pavilion, and rushed towards the bright moon.
