Frost flower is like a dream

It took nearly a month, and a group of three people came to the boundary of Zhongzhou, which is a heretical place in Chungcheong.It was noon, the sun was shining, and most of the passers-by were resting under the shade of willows by the roadside.Jin Xiaoyuan took out a few wild fruits from the bag and handed them to Hailan. Seeing her shake her head lightly, she wiped them on her clothes and ate them.

While smacking her lips, she sighed endlessly, "This sister is home now! What should we do in the future? If only we had money! Open a rice shop and become the shopkeeper. This life is in vain!"

Anyway, with this Jin Xiaoyuan, he would not be lonely wherever he went. Hong Lin leaned against the big tree and drank enough water, and continued to listen to his vernacular.Along the way, these two children regarded him as an elder brother, obeying his words, listening to Jin Xiaoyuan's jokes, walking was very easy, Hailan was no longer so sad, and even gave birth to some unrealistic fantasies, just like this forever It's not bad to go on!

Hailan was also amused by him, and no longer saddened by the ragged clothes and blisters on the soles of her feet, she smiled slightly: "Is that a little promising? You might as well go back to the capital with your elder brother! It's better than being the shopkeeper of the rice shop!"

"Brother has a business in the capital?" Jin Xiaoyuan turned his head abruptly, grabbed Hong Lin's sleeve, his eyes were full of admiration, and he snarled, "Sister Hailan is absolutely right! Take me there Right! I have never seen what the capital looks like in my life! At worst, I will not be the shopkeeper, I will be your servant...!" Before finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "What business are you doing? "

"It's about the same size as a rice shop! It's the size of a shopkeeper!" Hong Lin smiled, and stretched out his hand to remove Jin Xiaoyuan's claws. .

"Then is your shop short of people? What do you think of me?" Jin Xiaoyuan took it seriously, and his serious expression made Hailan laugh.

"No shortage! There are more than thirty! They are all stronger than you!" Hong Lin deliberately teased him, seeing that Jin Xiaoyuan couldn't help crying, so he patted him on the shoulder, "Okay! Alright! Count you in!"

It's a deal!Jin Xiaoyuan clapped hands with Hong Lin, happily packed up his bags.It was past noon at this time, and the number of people on the road gradually increased. The three of them were about to get up, but they saw dust flying in the distance, as if a caravan was coming.Dingqing saw that seven people and seven horses came from far and near, all of them galloping wildly with knives, revealing their true colors as ferocious robbers, scaring passers-by and merchants into the willow shade and dare not come out.

The gang of robbers seemed to have done this kind of business, forming a circle to surround the whole tree shade, seven of them flew off their horses at the same time, and approached the unarmed civilians with their swords.

"Get out all of you! Take out all your valuables and don't listen to grandpa! Just kill and don't bury!"

As soon as the robbers shouted, those hiding in the shade of willows came out tremblingly. Men, women, old people, children, at least there were more than [-] people.The common people have no money, and they handed over three melons and two dates to anger the robbers, and they were kicked around like a ball by that group of people.Jin Xiaoyuan hurriedly covered the bag tightly, but there was nothing inside, just a sheepskin water bag and some wild fruits.

When the robbers saw the boy hiding the bag, they thought there was something valuable in it, so they snatched it. When they opened it, they were dumbfounded, and cut the bag in half, and a gleaming knife arrived immediately. In the middle of Jin Xiaoyuan's neck.

"Hand over your valuables!"

"I... I don't have anything valuable... I ate wild fruits all the way to satisfy my hunger... I haven't smelled rice for half a month...!" Jin Xiaoyuan boldly reasoned with the robber, glanced at the left eye, the eldest brother He was protecting Hailan; when he turned his right eye, the twenty or so people were huddled together and trembling, and no one dared to move!I thought: This is terrible!

"No money, right! It's easy to handle! Hand over this little girl! We'll be happy after we're done!" The robber had already seen that the three of them were together, and became lustful towards Hai Lan again. He had to reach out to her face, but Hong Lin slapped her on the face without touching her, and he stumbled on the spot, with blood dripping from his mouth.

Seeing that something was wrong, the remaining six swung their knives and slashed at Hong Lin. He pushed Jin Xiaoyuan and Hailan back, and slipped through the gap between them. On the bodies of those five people, seven of them fell down together, crying loudly, causing Jin Xiaoyuan and those passers-by who had suffered greatly to clap their hands and applaud.

Taking advantage of the time when the robbers slowly got up, Hong Lin picked up a horizontal knife in his hand and approached the seven people step by step. He looked methodical and didn't pay attention to these trash at all.The seven robbers are you looking at me and I looking at you. The other party is very calm and composed, knowing that they have encountered a master, and they don't even want a horse, Feishi is also running away!Jin Xiaoyuan immediately stood on a big rock and laughed at them.

Passers-by who were robbed came to express their thanks one after another, and Jin Xiaoyuan returned the things the robbers had robbed one by one, even the horses, and said goodbye under the shade of willows.Fortunately, he was thoughtful and left three horses to travel, and it was much easier to go to Ligu now.

It was only when we entered Ligu Town that we realized its beauty. It has a bit of the shadow of Honghai Town, full of flowers, antique, beautiful and pleasant.Jin Xiaoyuan didn't bother to look at it, he rushed into the restaurant as soon as he got off his horse, and ordered a large table of dishes, looking like a hungry ghost reincarnated.

"You just know how to eat! I haven't found out where my aunt's house is yet!" Hailan sat down and complained, even though she didn't have the heart to have a bite of delicious food.

"You have to eat first! I haven't smelled meat for several months! I don't even have the strength to speak!" Jin Xiaoyuan tore a big fat duck and ate it, making his hands greasy, and warmly greeted the two, "Eat it! Don't eat it." Don’t eat for nothing! I’ll learn how to use a knife from my elder brother when I’m full!”

"I didn't say I would accept apprentices!" It's really a cannibalism, and he only took a bite of food, and he was waiting here.

"Don't! Don't! Maybe I can help you in the future!" Jin Xiaoyuan used his ability to pester people, his small eyes were shining with envy, "Brother, where did you learn your kung fu? One hit seven Oh my God! I want to learn too!"

Hailan shook his head at Jin Xiaoyuan, saying that he couldn't learn it at all, then bowed his head and went to eat!Hong Lin's expression was similar to that of Hai Lan's. He snatched a duck leg from Jin Xiaoyuan's hand and ate it with gusto.

"Don't bring it like this! I really want to learn!" Seeing that no one paid attention, Jin Xiaoyuan suddenly lost his mind, so he had to change the subject, "Sister! It's not that I don't want to help you find out! We have to suffer and gain wisdom! Look What you look like now, you are in rags! Who will take you in! You have to dress up glamorously, and you can see that you are not eating and drinking for nothing!"

"My aunt isn't that kind of person!" Said Hai Lan, but she didn't know what to do. What if her aunt treated her like her uncle? "But... where do we have money?"

"Who said we have no money! Look!" Jin Xiaoyuan threw the burden on the dining table, heavy, "See! I have suffered a lot to carry these things!"

"Where did you get it from?" Hailan was puzzled, Jin Xiaoyuan had no skills all this way, how did he become so rich all of a sudden?

"I secretly took some of the jewels left by the robbers!" Jin Xiaoyuan said softly with a giggle.

"You can take their things too!" Hailan disdainfully.

"I'm thinking about the three of us! We really need money! You don't know how much food is expensive if you are not in charge! If you have no food, you will starve to death!"

What else can I do if I take it all!What Jin Xiaoyuan said made sense, Hailan thought about it, and readily agreed with him.The three of them took a shower in the inn, combed their hair, and put on the newly bought clothes before going out to find out where Aunt Hailan lived.Along the way, Jin Xiaoyuan glanced at Hailan frequently, he didn't expect her to look so good-looking in a white skirt and blue clothes, he blushed again when he looked at it.

"Hey! A person depends on clothes, a Buddha depends on gold clothes! Why do I feel that these clothes don't suit me!" Jin Xiaoyuan sighed from the bottom of his heart, there is no need for a fairy sister!Look at the elder brother again, he is refreshed and looks good in the new clothes, how come he hasn't changed, what was he like just now!What is it now!

After inquiring all morning, I finally found Aunt Hailan's address. It seemed to be the mansion of a wealthy family. The girl hesitated for a long time even knocking on the door when she thought of the imminent parting.After explaining the purpose of coming, the servant went in to report back, and a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked out after a while.

"Miss Hailan, do you still recognize me? Uncle Rong!" The housekeeper is still very familiar with Hailan, and his expression is slightly unbearable, "We have also heard about Mr. Zongbing! It's just that the old lady is sick. You have to be in a daze and ignore your family affairs! Now that the eldest son is in charge of the house, he doesn't intend to...! You should find another place to live!"

"You don't intend to take me in, right?" At this moment, Hailan was overjoyed, wishing they wouldn't take me in, after all the three of them had been together for a long time, but now they are very reluctant to part!

"Miss Hailan, the eldest son is no match for the old lady! This is my wish, please accept it!" Uncle Rong saw that there was no one around, and felt that Hailan was really pitiful, so he boldly gave her the money.

"I can't ask for your money! I'd better go!" Hailan didn't accept his kindness, and turned around calmly. Anyway, she felt relaxed.

"What are you talking about! What kind of relatives! Everyone is uneasy and kind!" Jin Xiaoyuan was naturally angry, and walked around to Hailan and said, "We are not going anywhere! Sister, don't even think about going to relatives and friends! We Rely on yourself! I’ve been optimistic about it for a long time! There is a rice shop opposite the inn to sell! We bought it and settled here!”

"Go back to the inn and talk about it!" Hailan really didn't want to hear him yelling in the street, so she returned to the inn, thought about it carefully, and looked back at Hong Lin's expression. It would be great if he could stay!Three people will never be separated!

Jin Xiaoyuan also meant the same thing. Now that he has money, he naturally wants to live and work in peace and contentment. He doesn't have to run around anymore. Sister Hailan will definitely stay, and she only turns her attention to Hong Lin.

"I can't stay here! Too much time has been lost, and I must return to Beijing immediately!" Hong Lin realized this, and he really should leave this time!

Jin Xiaoyuan didn't understand, and complained: "Brother, you are not so disrespectful! We have come here through thick and thin, and we have come together through thick and thin! How important is the capital city! Let's go together...!"

"What do you know!" Hai Lan interrupted him, and turned to face Hong Lin, "I've been in trouble for a long time! Brother, you'd better go back to Beijing first! Come see us when you have time!" Seeing Jin Xiaoyuan interrupting him, he immediately stopped him, "Don't Annoyed, okay? Do you know who the eldest brother is? He is the chief guard next to His Highness, can you stop him from going back?"

A few words made Jin Xiaoyuan stunned. Either he hadn't figured out Hong Lin's origin, or he hadn't figured out the background!

Hong Lin was thinking about everything in Beijing, and now that Hailan was settled, he could leave with peace of mind!Reluctantly saying goodbye to the two, he led the horse and whipped away.Hai Lan hurriedly went upstairs and pushed open the window. Under the shadow of the setting sun, his figure gradually disappeared among the flowers and willows!When we meet again, I don't know what year and month it will be!

The willows at the head of the city are already like silk, and the flowers fell this year when they fell last year!
