Knight line GL

Ten years ago, the military calendar was 50 years old.

The wind whistled, and the jackdaws flew away.

The wooden wheel of the wheelbarrow rolled across the grass, and half of it was buried in the bluestone bricks in the soil, and two brittle dates on the broken cart fell off.Liu Dadao stopped in a hurry, bent down to pick up the dates, and looked up at the bright lights in the distance, making noise like another world.

The early morning in Lingtai City starts from Chaixu Wharf.In other words, here is all night long, there is no difference between morning and evening.

Lingtai City is not big, but its geographical location is very special.Not only is it close to Guangling City, the first city in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the water and land converge, and the Jianghuai River is transported by water.It is also near the sea and has eleven salt fields, which can be described as a rich land.

Since the 15th year of the military rebellion, Ling Tai City first returned to Nan Shangjing's family.The Jing family was defeated by the heroes and fled to the sea. Guangling City fell into the Shu family, and then changed hands several times.After the war of martial chaos ended, Yanmen controlled Lingtai City until today.

Late at night and early in the morning at Chaixu Wharf, most cargo ships are loading and unloading goods.When the sky is getting brighter, there will be boat rangers coming one after another, looking forward to finding a good boat.As for those Patriarchs, there is no need to worry, they all have their own private boats.

Xiang Xiaodie looked around, wishing she didn't even blink her eyes.She has grown up to this day, at the age of 11, but it is the first time she has traveled far away, and everything is fresh.A woman in white with a sword, and a swordsman in black with a horse.A porter with a beard and a fan with red eyes.

"Xiaodie, quickly call Uncle Qin."

Xiang Xiaodie reluctantly turned her head, and saw a young man approaching.He is tall and strong, with a long and thin weapon hanging on his waist, whether it is a sword or a knife.

Before Xiang Xiaodie could speak, a small head popped out from behind the young man.With big round eyes, pitch black and sparkling like a puppy, he called out clearly: "Hello to uncle, hello to sister."

"Well, Ah Tong is fine too." Xiang Tianqing was amused when he heard the words, and said to his daughter, "Look at Ah Tong, you are not as good as her as a sister."

Pouting to Xiaodie, she is not that shameless little brat.He murmured and called Uncle Qin, then turned his head away and reached out to take a sweet orange from Mammy.

"Since her mother left, I have been dependent on her for life, and I have been spoiled by spoiling." Xiang Tianqing said to his friend Han, "Didn't I tell you not to come and see her off, it's freezing cold."

Qin Rui handed over a cloth package and sighed: "I don't know when you will see me again. I, a poor man, don't have much good things. Yingniang pickled dried salted radish, and some sesame cakes and sesame cakes. I If you don't have anything, she insists on me bringing it over."

Xiang Tianqing's heart was full of fire, and he hugged the package and said, "My sister-in-law has a heart. I'm afraid I won't be able to do her cooking again...I have to eat carefully."

Qin Rui sighed.

Xiang Tianqing, a seven-foot man, couldn't help sobbing, and looked up at Lingtai City in the distance.He was born and raised in Si, but now he has to leave his hometown.

Seeing the tears in his eyes, Qin Rui couldn't help but growl angrily, "These bastards! Sooner or later I..."

Xiang Tianqing was startled, and quickly interrupted him: "Brother Qin, don't be impulsive! Your elbows can't twist your thighs. Although there is no emperor these days, Yanmen is the emperor of Lingtai City. It's good for me to leave, so as not to hurt you You are all in the family business, bear with it."

Qin Rui didn't know it, but there was a grievance in his heart that would last for a long time.He lowered his head, waved his hands and said, "Let's go, let's find a safe and good place." Then he turned around, wiped his eyes and strode away: "A-Tong? A-Tong! Where did you go again? , all you need is a rope to tie you!"

Looking at the back of his friend going away, Xiang Tianqing couldn't help but smile.He turned to his daughter and said, "Let's go, let's find a good place."

In fact, Xiang Xiaodie knows in her heart that her own salt farm has come up with a new method to produce high salt and low price.This recipe was stolen by others, and salt merchants from all over the world followed suit, and the price of salt plummeted.Of the eleven saltworks in Lingtai City, seven belong to Yanmen.How can I stay in Lingtai City if the interests of the Yanmen are affected?

Xiang Tianqing had no choice but to sell his property, and hurriedly left with his daughter and a dozen servants.

In autumn and winter, the wind is raging.

Xiang's merchant ship is wide and tall, and made of strong materials, so it is not afraid of the wind and waves.It's just that sailing against the current is extremely slow.On the third day, there was heavy rain and strong wind, which delayed the trip.

"Sir, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the port of rest today! Make up your mind!" The helmsman stuck his head out in the rain and shouted loudly.

Xiang Tianqing saw the rain falling like beads, pattering on the wooden boards, knowing that the rain would not stop for a while, so he said to the helmsman: "Dock and stop, and tell everyone to be careful." At home, the voice came out clearly.

As night fell and the rain continued, Xiang Jia boarded a boat and moored by the deserted river.

In the darkness, under the rain curtain, several small boats approached quietly.

Xiang Xiaodie was carried out by Xiang Tianqing.

She was sleeping in a daze, and rushed in, holding a bloody sword.She was so frightened that she was about to scream loudly when she saw that it was her father.Dazed and about to fall asleep again, but was carried by Xiang Tianqing on his shoulders.

Xiang Xiaodie put her head down and touched the blood on her father's back.

- Pfft!

Before Xiang Xiaodie could react, she was submerged in overwhelming cold water.When she woke up again, she was already on a small fishing boat.Heavy rain outside the awning boat, light rain inside the awning boat.

The rain fell on the bamboo strips, seeping in one by one, forming clear water droplets on the bamboo threads.

Tick-tock - hit Xiang Xiaodie in the eye.

Xiang Xiaodie burst into tears, and the boatman and his wife couldn't persuade them no matter how much they tried, they sat by the side helplessly.

Xiang Xiaodie cried for a long time until she couldn't cry.He asked hoarsely, "Where is this?"

This is Xunshui.

Xunshui is not like Lingtai City, there is no dominant power here.Good and evil are mixed together, and three religions and nine streams gather.This is the favorite place for thugs and villains, and the strength depends entirely on the skills in their hands.Killing and setting fire, no one cares.

Xiang Xiaodie stood on the street of Xunshui, not knowing where to go.

"Little girl." The visitor had a pair of malicious eyes, but his voice was exceptionally gentle, matched with his sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked face, he wanted to run away from Xiaodie.

"Five days ago, a merchant ship was intercepted on Jiangxinzhou, two hundred miles away from Xunshui City."

Turning around to Xiaodie, looking at the smiling eyes of the sharp-mouthed face, and his open palm: "This is the wind medium of Xunshui City, who is doing the business of news from all over the world. Miss, can I buy news?"

Xiang Xiaodie took out a jade bracelet from her bosom.The shimmering green water is the best emerald.The bracelets were originally a pair, but the other was taken away by the fishermen couple.They said that since she refused to stay and be his family's daughter-in-law, she must repay her.

He left a jade bracelet and a broken bench to Xiaodie.

The pointed-mouthed wind medium took the bracelet and looked at it again and again, and sighed dissatisfied: "Forget it, I am a kind-hearted person. Let me tell you, the pirates on the Yangtze River were the ones who robbed the boat."

Seeing him turn around to leave, Xiang Xiaodie jumped on him.The pointed-mouthed wind medium swayed suddenly and moved aside.Xiang Xiaodie pushed too hard and threw herself on the ground.

The sharp-mouthed wind media sighed, and was about to leave but was hugged by Xiang Xiaodie: "You haven't told me what their surnames are! You liar!"

The sharp-mouthed wind media kicked her away in disgust: "Don't wipe your tears and snot on me. What's the use of me telling you, let you come to your door to die? Do you have money in your pocket to put a reward? You give up and go home. Or if you grow up for a few years, find someone powerful to marry, and maybe you can get revenge for you."

Xiang Xiaodie couldn't listen anymore, she howled and cried.

The sharp-mouthed wind medium sighed, squatted down and said, "Don't cry, others think I'm forcing a good man into prostitution. Once the morals of the world are corrupted, I can't do this business."

When Xiang Xiaodie heard it, she raised her head and shouted, "He's robbing someone! Help! He's robbing someone!"

The sharp-mouthed wind media didn't expect Xiao Nizi to be so difficult, and seeing more and more people around her, he quickly covered her mouth: "Little aunt, don't shout."

Xiang Xiaodie's eyes were red, and she bit his hand.

"I'll go!" Sharp-mouthed wind medium hastily pulled his hand, "The rabbit bites when it's in a hurry, you belong to the rabbit!"

"What's the name of the water bandit? Which water village?" Xiang Xiaodie asked angrily. Although she was young, she had never been out of the house.But I also help with accounts at home, and I have some knowledge, knowing that there are many villages on the Yangtze River.

The sharp-mouthed wind medium mouse's eyes fluttered here and there, and a few words came out of its mouth: "I don't know."

Seeing that Xiang Xiaodie was about to call again, he just poured beans out of the bamboo tube and explained exactly.The sharp-mouthed boy was not a wind media, and he heard the news from other people.Knowing that Jiang Xinzhou hijacked a ship and killed people, only a little girl escaped.On the way, I saw Xiang Xiaodie with a strange face, and she was alone again with a sad face.He thought of coming up to cheat.

Xiang Xiaodie asked for a jade bracelet on his body, but of course the sharp-mouthed boy refused.After being entangled for three days, the boy finally let go.He promised to exchange the jade bracelet for money, and went to the wind media for information.

The sharp-mouthed boy took her to hide in the dilapidated kiln all night, and then led her to the street in the morning.With a yellow-faced steamed bun in each hand, the two found a pawnshop while walking.

"This bracelet is worthless."

They went to three pawnshops in the morning, and they talked almost the same, the difference was only five taels of money.

"This little money is not enough to find a wind medium." The sharp-mouthed boy squatted on the side of the road and sighed, touched the bracelet in his arms, stared at the white smoke rising from the bun shop, and said after a long time, "I'll buy two Baozi, don't run around."

Nodding to Xiaodie, watching him walk into the bun shop.

She was very obedient, she stayed at the door and didn't go anywhere.

Waited, waited, waited a long time.The cages of the steamed stuffed bun store were lowered layer by layer and piled up higher.People who bought steamed stuffed buns came and went.The sun rises overhead, and then sets from overhead.

Xiang Xiaodie watched the white smoke around the cage flutter and flutter, and finally slowly dissipate.She knew that if she obediently didn't run around, she wouldn't be able to wait for the sharp-mouthed boy.She couldn't cry, she could only hug her knees and curl up into a ball.She didn't want to cry, but the tears just couldn't stop.

Many people passed by, or hurried past, or pointed and discussed.There were also those who came forward to strike up a conversation, but Xiang Xiaodie didn't dare to pay attention, and crouched in a corner in the corner.After a long time, she raised her head, and the dark street was empty.Until she was about to fall asleep in the cold wind, she suddenly heard footsteps.

Wearing white clothes with a sword, he is a knight in the rivers and lakes.

Watching him approaching, Xiang Xiaodie asked hopelessly in a low voice, "Can you help me?"

The man stopped and looked at her, and after a while, nodded slightly.

There was a flash of light in Xiang Xiaodie's eyes, and she said cautiously: "I... have no money."

The man smiled softly: "I don't want money."

Xiang Xiaodie stood up abruptly. She squatted for a long time, her legs were numb and her hands were soft, but flowers were blooming in front of her eyes. She said excitedly: "My father was killed by the Yangtze River pirates! There is also the mother, the steward, and..." As she said that, she burst into tears, "Wow, I... I don't know where the water village is... I don't have any money... Dad... Wuwu..."

The knight in white supported her, stretched out his hand to touch her head, and said gently: "Then I will take you to search everywhere. Don't cry, don't cry, I will take you to your father and take you to buy new clothes."

He really bought a new suit of clothes for Xiang Xiaodie, and then tore the clothes up little by little.He not only tore the clothes, but also tore Xiang Xiaodie.It was torn to shreds, and even the soul was about to be scattered.

Another stranger bought Xiang Xiaodie a new suit.The big red upper jacket, the bright red skirt, like a bride.The bride is sitting on the bow of the boat and is going to marry to the other side.There was a big red lantern on the wedding boat, and its reflection on the river surface seemed to be on fire in the water.

The water was rippling, and the fire was burning, looking at Xiaodie, fascinated.

She was escorted into the stockade wet all over.The sound of gongs and firecrackers was her funeral music, but everyone else was very happy.

Those men held up big porcelain bowls and laughed.They were talking and cursing...the faces were round, square...with different eyes, big and small...but looking at her, the eyeballs seemed to pop out.Xiang Xiaodie felt that it looked like a statue in a temple holding a magic weapon.

Xiang Xiaodie sat at the table, letting those hands roam freely on her body.She can't cry, can't make a fuss, can't even die.Looking at this carnival of demons dancing, she knew in her heart that this was not the only place. There were carnivals of demons dancing all over the world, day and night.

When did you stop?

The mourning music ends, and the demons do not dance.

Xiang Xiaodie slowly raised her head, and vaguely saw a gleam of moonlight shining into Purgatory.
