Alternative Jianghu Adventures

In late spring and March, the willows are green.

Outside the capital city, several acres of fertile fields are scattered here and there, buffaloes walk, and occasionally birdsong breaks the tranquility of the mountains.

"Bangdang-"

A crisp sound came from a courtyard built yesterday, and the white porcelain bottle was smashed to pieces, arousing the curiosity of the daughter fluttering butterflies in the courtyard.

The crescent-white skirt is dotted with light blue flowers, but the girl is about seven or eight years old, and the girl pushes open the wooden door of the bedroom step by step to find out.

"Don't talk!" A cold light passed in front of the girl, almost cutting off a few strands of hair, and then the man quickly covered the girl's mouth with his hand, resting the blade on his neck, and said viciously, " Otherwise, I will kill you!"

"Don't kill me!" The girl was startled, subconsciously begging for mercy.

"I told you to keep your voice down! Are you looking for death?" The voice was a little annoyed, "Listen, I'll let you go right away, as if what happened today never happened, understand?"

The girl nodded.

The man finally let go slowly, and walked around from behind the girl to the front.

Lavender bunt, with a black belt in the middle, and a small cloth bag hanging around his waist, with white silver bulging faintly exposed inside, he is a thief.

The girl finally saw who it was—it was just a little girl who seemed to be her age.

"You..." The girl was about to speak, but was glared at by the thief, "What are you! Shut up! Don't tell your family that you saw me, do you hear me?"

"But...that's from my house." The girl pointed at the porcelain under the thief's arm with a naive expression on her face.

The thief blushed and coughed dryly, "Well, so what? The master said that the money of the big family is dirty. I call it stealing from the rich and giving to the poor! You have heard of thieves Did you return what you stole?"

"No, no..." The girl was frightened by the other party's natural aura.

"That's it." The thief said, put the sword back into the scabbard with his right hand, patted the girl on the shoulder, and threatened again and again, "Don't speak out, do you hear me?!"

As he said that, he spotted the open door and was about to rush out, but when he was leaving, the girl pulled her back and bumped into her arms!The bulging oil-paper bag in his arms rolled out, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake inside was immediately exposed.

"What are you doing!" The little thief was a little annoyed, looking at the girl and said angrily.

"But... Mother said, you can't take other people's things casually." The girl was still insisting, but her voice became smaller and smaller under the glaring gaze of the other party, her eyes subconsciously looked around, and then stopped on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"I've been told that I'm a thief! A thief! A thief doesn't care about so many things... Also! That's the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that I went to the city to buy with great difficulty, let me go..."

The little thief watched the girl stuff three pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes into her mouth so quickly that she couldn't cover her ears. Feeling depressed, she cursed casually, "Eat in such a hurry! I don't think you'll be killed! Haven't you eaten it before! No!" It’s just a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, what about it?”

The girl shook her head honestly, and said vaguely, "Good... good time (eating)... I was never allowed to eat outside food at home, so I never ate this kind of food."

Shui Lingling's big eyes stared straight at the little thief, and the little thief lost his temper instantly.

"Well, let me be unlucky today, because your family has made a lot of progress, and I will give you the sweet-scented osmanthus cake!" Little ghost, with difficulty moving his eyes away from the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, stepped out of the door in three steps and jumped up to the eaves.

"Hey, you're leaving?" The girl held the oiled paper bag in her hand, completely unaware of how much damage the other party had just caused to her pocket money.

The thief stood on the eaves, weighed the money bag in his hand, made a grimace, his eyes were full of calculations, "You, do you usually have a lot of money on you?"

The girl nodded.

"Okay! Look at you, you're quite interesting. I'll bring you candied haws next time, and I'll play with you!"

The little thief secretly rejoiced, it's really easy to deceive, are all the little girls from big families so innocent these days?It is simply unreasonable not to cheat some money!

The girl's eyes were full of joy, and for a moment those eyes seemed to be overflowing with starlight.

The little thief unconsciously looked away, always feeling ashamed of his conscience for lying to the innocent little girl like this, but then he thought about the poor people in the alley who couldn't afford to eat, and he became inexplicably confident, "Hey! The two of us Be friends! What's your name?"

"Yue... Yue'er." The girl Nuo Nuo replied.

On the eaves, the thief's long black hair was tied high with a red ribbon, and he smiled lightly from the corner of his eyes, "Yue'er, right, I know, there will be a period later!"

As he said that, he leaped back and fell down from the eaves. He is so young that he is surprisingly good at light work!

The red hairband drew a bright arc in the air, before Yue'er who disappeared in an instant.

***

The red hair band fluttered in the wind, and a girl in her twenties jumped off the horse, with a long sword on her right waist, and patted the horse's back with her left hand to calm the horse's emotions.

She was full of air, and there was a crooked cross scar above the left eyebrow, but it did not reduce the heroic spirit between the female eyebrows at all, but added a bit of sass.

With a piece of grass in his mouth, he shouted towards the post station, "Man! Feed me the horse! By the way, let me have a jug of the best wine here!"

"Hey, here we come." The clerk pulled the horse away and hurried forward, leading the horse into the stable, "Guest officer, do you want to be a top dog or stay at the inn?"

The girl took out her purse, her high-spirited face froze for a moment, she coughed twice, "Stay for one night, by the way, for wine... just change it to the cheapest one you have here."

She almost forgot that before the reward for this task came, she was still a pauper.

"Come on—"

The girl was led to sit at a table by the waiter, and the bustling chatter came from all directions:

"Have you heard? The Ning family in the north of the city was wiped out overnight! Even the newborn children were not spared... Tsk tsk tsk, what a crime."

The Ning family was wiped out?really.

"No way? Overnight? Could it be that the Ning family is made of paper? You're not joking, are you?"

Are you sure it's the Ning family who is famous for their iron palms?

"Who was joking with you? I heard that [Liu Jiang] did it."

"[Liujiang]? Isn't that just a killer? If he overthrows Ning's family alone, it's impossible for him to be ranked first... If you want me to say, it's not as reliable as Shen Yuange."

"Hey, believe it or not, let me tell you..."

"Guest, here comes the wine." The man took a small jug of wine and pulled the girl's thoughts back to reality, and was about to pour it, but the girl stopped him, "Okay, you go down, I will do it myself."

As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the wine with his left hand, took the jar and drank it!

After three or two sips of the fire-like spirits, the girl let out a sigh of satisfaction, "Although the taste is not good, it is strong enough!"

"Miss, just make up your mind and rest here tonight."

As he spoke, a crisp voice came in from the door, and a young maid in her 20s lifted the curtain for the person coming from behind, "Miss, please."

The person called Miss is dressed in white, with a veil on her head, and her steps are steady, seemingly fragile, but she walks silently.

is a master.

The girl took another sip of wine, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the person, and she came to such a conclusion.

"Two upper rooms." The little maid took out a few pieces of silver, "The water will be boiled three times at night, and the vegetables and leaves should be tender and sharp, and the meat should be good lean parts. In short, money is not a problem, understand." ?”

"Understood." The man nodded quickly.

These days, money is the uncle.

The girl rolled her eyes in her heart, looked at her bottomed-out money bag and sighed:

Ah, it's nice to be rich!Why hasn't her reward arrived yet!There is really no way to continue on the road.

The masked woman was led upstairs by the little maid, and the wind brought by the walk slightly blew the white veil, and the girl lay faceless on the table, and just saw a corner of the true face under the veil from bottom to top——

and many more!

The girl sat upright suddenly, recalling what she saw just now, her heart throbbed: Then, could it be her?

"Xiaoer!" The girl gritted her teeth and whispered to Xiaoer, "Arrange the room next to the two guests just now, do you hear me?"

"That's the upper room." The man smiled with a contrived face, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Add! Money!" The girl paused every word, squeezing out the two words from her teeth, her heart bleeding.

"Okay!" The waiter nodded quickly, "Would you like to order two side dishes? Drinking alone won't satisfy your hunger."

The girl's face was black, and she frantically ignored the hunger signal from her stomach, "No, you can go down."

The money for the room upgrade just now...was deducted from the food expenses!

No, no, no, if she doesn't want to find a way to get some money, she really can't go back alive and return to her life.

That night, the girl lay on the bed full of melancholy.

He was chewing the grass root fiercely in his mouth, and he was crazily cursing a certain villain in his stomach who was on credit for the previous task, when he suddenly heard a shrill scream

Came from the next room.

The girl immediately held up a carp, picked up the saber with her left hand, and rushed over!

But I saw the little maid crouching shyly in a corner of the room, pointing to the young lady who was lying on the floor bleeding all over the room, slurring her words, "Miss, she...she...she..."

The girl's pupils shrank, and she knelt down to touch it. The blood was still hot.Looking at the wide open window in the blink of an eye, he chased him out without saying a word!

Moon stars are rare.

no trace.

Half an hour later, the girl came back with a sullen face, and found that the guy in the post station was about to send someone to clean up the house, and she was still muttering, "Hey, another one died. These are the thirteen who died this month. . . . it's just impossible to live."

Wars are raging in the frontier; the prime ministers in the court are in power; people in the rivers and lakes are also panicked by the court's sudden suppression of bandits; the killer world [Liujiang] has become famous, and the Shen Yuan Pavilion faction of the Assassin League is split...Looking at the world, there is no place where you can settle down of.

"Wait." The girl stepped forward to stop the man who was about to lift her up, "Let me see."

The veil was lifted, revealing an ordinary face, the girl stared at that face for ten seconds, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not her.

Why did she think that this young lady might be that person?Obviously there is no similarity...

The girl distractedly signaled to the buddy to carry him away, but was asked by a timid voice, "Then, that...has the heroine ever found the murderer?"

It's that little maid.

The girl curled her lips, "I don't dare to be a heroine, that person is very good at lightness kung fu, and I can't find his trace at all."

"Is that so..."

"Is that your lady? I don't look like someone from the world."

If she is a person from the Jianghu, she will definitely hear about it just because she walks without wind.

"My young lady is just the daughter of a merchant. She was taught martial arts by an old senior...but she never went out, and the family never mentioned it to the outside world."

"Oh? Came out in time of troubled times?" the girl casually smiled.

"Miss... I don't want to be a pawn in the family and relatives, so I escaped because of my martial arts." Although the little maid was flustered, her words were clear, and she didn't look like a fake.

She suddenly knelt down in front of the girl, "...Woman, I have a merciless request! The master knows that the servant and the lady slipped out, and he will definitely not let you go!"

I!Now that Miss is dead, I don't dare to go back to the mansion to seek my own death... Now that the world is in chaos, can... can you allow your slaves to stay by your side? "

"I told you, don't call me a heroine!" The girl was impatient, with a bad tone, "I don't have the time to bring a burden."

"Your servant has money." The little maid raised her head and looked into the girl's eyes, her voice was still trembling, "Your lady's money is all in my pocket."

On him, 3000 taels of silver bills. "

!

The girl took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and said sarcastically, "You betrayed right after your young lady died?"

"Miss is actually not good to me," the little maid said in a deep voice, with her hands deep in her hands, each with a deep scar on her palm, "The reason for bringing me out is because she only has my bond of prostitution, and now the bond of prostitution is also It doesn't work anymore."

As she spoke, the little servant girl tremblingly took out the contract of prostitution from her bosom, and tore it to pieces two or three times.

"Yo, that's interesting." The girl suddenly approached, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's follow the rules, 3000 taels of silver, guarantee you for three months, after three months, we will not owe each other, and the money will be mine. You go."

It's been a long time since I received such an easy task.It happened that she was short of money.

"Okay." The little maid nodded, "But you want to teach me martial arts."

"No problem." The girl laughed even more happily, thinking to herself, what can this fool learn in three months?Just mess around with it.

"Xia Yun, what's your name? My new employer?" Xia Yun asked loudly.

"...Sixteen, my name is Sixteen." Seeing Xia Yun's slightly raised eyebrows, Xu Shi, the little maid, quickly explained in a low voice, "The day I was born was on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month when the moon was full."

Xia Yun froze for a moment, his originally casual expression restrained a little, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, he seemed to be a little sighing,

"You, too, were born on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."
