On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was an unprecedented chaos at the other end of Pingchao City.

The barrier in the dungeon of the Rong Mansion was destroyed, during which countless demons and evil spirits were trapped and escaped overnight. Nearly a dozen guards in front of the prison were all burnt to serious injuries. Even Cheng Daofeng, who was recuperating in the mansion, was pierced through the heart for no reason, and fell into a coma for several days Awake.

And the most unbelievable thing is that on the same chaotic Mid-Autumn Festival night, the skyrocketing fire started at one end of the prison—and at the other end, Li Haishuang, who had already been trapped to the point of death, was also in that turbulent chaos. Hidden traces.

As a result, everyone in the Rong Mansion rushed to the scene after the incident, and the cell on the ground floor where Li Haishuang was held was empty, except for condensed and dried reddish-brown blood stains everywhere, and a broken cell door that was half torn apart.

——After Yin Chun forcibly broke through the prison door and escaped, Li Haishuang also disappeared from the world along with him.

The Rong Mansion suffered heavy losses that whole night. Not only was the barrier outside the dungeon severely damaged, but all the beasts and demons that had been suppressed for a long time at the bottom of the dungeon also took this opportunity to rush out of the cage and disappeared into the night. whereabouts.

For a time, people inside and outside the capital were panic-stricken, from the princes, nobles, family officials, down to ordinary people's ordinary households, everyone was worried and panicked about this matter, and it was difficult to sleep day and night.

"The hardest thing to say right now is becoming an old man. After all, he is just a foreigner who came to cultivate himself. How could he have suffered such a disaster in Rong's mansion? Now that he is old, his heart hurts so much. The sword...doesn't know how long it will last."

Once the news spread far and wide, it drifted to Cheng Daofeng's hometown, Laifeng Town, and the surrounding townspeople exploded in surprise as if they were suddenly set on fire.

This time, some were discussing in one place, some shivered in the dark, unable to make a sound, and even those who started worrying unnecessarily early in the morning kept saying "Cheng Daofeng is going to die", or else "Biyu Mansion is going to end", "The sky is going to collapse, we are all going to end"...

But Cheng Miling, who really felt that "the sky is about to fall", is still busy in the Biyu Mansion, dealing with various affairs at hand day and night. The original plan to visit his father in the capital at the end of the month has to be cancelled. Pushing and pushing, and finally becoming far away.

"I heard that Rong's mansion is in bad luck this time. Once the superiors convict him, Rong Pan, the old man who dragged him to the sky, will definitely suffer."

"Isn't it? Once the dungeon was destroyed, countless demons and goblins were released, scaring the grandsons in the capital so that none of them dared to go out."

"No, you only care about this. Doesn't anyone want to know who destroyed the dungeon? And who stabbed the old man with a sword?"

"Who? Which demon god came down to earth and dared to use a knife under Cheng Daofeng's nose?"

Outside the narrow alley where people come and go in Laifeng Town, Xiaolu's tavern is in full swing, and the business is booming.

Once the weather in autumn starts to cool down, the number of drinkers coming in and out every day is also increasing. The townspeople always like to come to this small tavern for a chat and a sip of wine when they are leisurely after dinner. It is to gather in a pile and pull the length of other people's homes.

But now, when they mentioned the destruction of the Rongfu dungeon, they were naturally flustered and fearful, but more of them were speculation and curiosity about the instigator.

"Who has the guts to stab Cheng Daofeng?"

"Where is the evildoer with such skill?"

"Hey—who else? It is said that it is the good apprentice raised by the old man, the one who stuck to the wall a while ago, and personally passed on the big disciple Yin Chu..."

"Huh? Wait, who are you talking about?"

"Yin Chun, Yin Chun's seal, Yin Chun's pin—the one from the Bi Yu Mansion, have you forgotten?"

Suddenly, there was an unknown commotion in the crowd. It seemed that everyone was particularly interested in this sudden topic. Sure enough, it didn't take long before they all gathered together, and they broke their mouths with each other.

——At this moment, in the small courtyard behind the tavern, Xie Hengyan, who was washing the dishes, suddenly stopped. Just before Fang wanted to stand up, Xiaolu happened to walk to the center of the backyard with a feather duster in his hand. , barely blocked Xie Hengyan at the side of the road.

"Where are you going?" Xiaolu said with a sullen face, still unhappy, "Didn't it be agreed that there are people in the tavern during the day, so you should not run out?"

"I...I'm breastfeeding Nian'er." Xie Hengyan scratched her head and said, "She just cried."

"Xiao Xie!" Xiaolu suddenly became serious, "You started again! You heard what was said outside just now, didn't you?"

Xie Hengyan pretended to be stupid: "No, I didn't hear... what did you say?"

"How dare you argue!" Xiaolu took a step forward, grabbed Xie Hengyan's wrist, pulled him back to the corner of the backyard, and asked repeatedly, "How did we agree before? I risked being killed." Taking risks to save you, spending a lot of money to heal your injured leg, and fearing that others will find out... But how did you do it? Just woke up and ran around in a hurry. Breaking into Biyu Mansion! What on earth are you thinking, are you really not afraid of death?"

——Until now, Xiaolu still clearly remembers that cold and windy late night, Xie Hengyan climbed over the tall and cold courtyard wall of Biyu Mansion, and when she landed, there was a crying girl in her arms. The two stood so conspicuously. It is a dangerous place, as if it will disappear at any moment.

Although Xie Hengyan said that Cheng Miling did not take Yin Chun's life out of consideration for his face, the two only chatted in the room for a while, talking about some past events.

Little did they know that during that time, Xiaolu's eyes had already turned red from crying, and she and Pingbari searched the streets and alleys with a lantern for half the night.

Later, when Xiaolu found Xie Hengyan, it was outside the most remote courtyard wall of Biyu Mansion. At that time, Xie Hengyan was holding Wu Nian in her arms. Before she could react, Xiaolu had already rushed forward and killed him Hugging him, all the warm tears wet his thin and soft clothes, as if they were going to soak half of the puppet's chest until it was subtly and unspeakably hot.

Ping Barley said that it was the first time he saw Xiaolu crying like this.

Ping Barley has always been scruples about Xie Hengyan's existence, and has never changed from the beginning to the end.That night, he still twisted Xie Hengyan's collar and warned him word by word: "Don't think that I dare not arrest you, just your head can be worth our whole year's wine money - next time, You just live in the Biyu Mansion, don't come back and make trouble again."

Naturally, Xie Hengyan was also very guilty. He didn't expect Xiaolu to be sad like this, so he could only explain that he was reckless for the sake of his children, and promised that he would never be like this in the future.

So Xiaolu listened in and said: "Then we have made an appointment, next time you listen to something and don't run around?"

Xie Hengyan nodded very well at that time, anyway, he obediently responded to what Xiaolu said.

In the first few days, Xie Hengyan stayed honestly in the tavern, helping to wash the vegetables, cook and wash the dishes every day, and went to the hut to feed the children when she was free - Xiaolu also liked Wu Nian very much, so she specially knitted a new one for her. Dudou, and went all the way outside the town to buy goat milk, and sometimes brought her many toys when she went out.

But such a peaceful state didn't last long—recently, an evil wind from Pingchao City blew into the entrance of the town, which made Xie Hengyan, who was already restless, more and more restless following the spread of the news.

Almost everyone was talking openly and secretly that it was the ungrateful apprentice Yin Chun who drew his sword and stabbed Cheng Daofeng in the heart. There was even news from Pingchao City that Cheng Daofeng still hadn't woken up. Going back into a coma, it will be rare to open your eyes again in the future.

"Even if the old man was stabbed by Yin Chuan, the chaos inside and outside the city is now in a state of disgrace, and the defense is stricter than ever before." Xiaolu frowned and said to Xie Hengyan, "Why are you thinking about it this time? If you meet Miss Cheng who is not from the Biyu Mansion, the gang from the Rong Mansion will be the first to cut off your head!"

Xie Hengyan looked away, and said in a muffled voice, "I...don't want to go to the capital, and I don't know the way."

Xiaolu said bitterly: "You think I don't know about your flamboyance?"

"But... I finally got the news about Yin Chun." Xie Hengyan choked up, "I've waited for so long, this time I really can't..."

"Xiao Xie, can't you be honest for a while?" Xiaolu interrupted him, "I will find a way to find out about Yin Zhu's whereabouts, and I will help raise your child. You don't need to do anything else...you just Just wait in peace, why can't you even do this?"

"I..." Xie Hengyan said blankly, "Then how can I do it? I don't do anything, I just let you, a girl, help, and it's so dangerous, wouldn't I become a wimp?"

Xiaolu raised her voice and shouted: "...I am happy to help with this!"

Xie Hengyan: "You..."

When he said this, Ping Barley, who was out to settle accounts, just came in, heard the conversation between the two of them, and didn't say anything. For some reason, Xiaolu's ears turned red, and when Ping Barley passed by Xie Hengyan, he suddenly whispered Scold him: "...Blind Xiong."

Xie Hengyan: "?"

"Get out of the way!" Ping Barley said viciously, "Get out of my way!"

"What's wrong with him?" Xie Hengyan felt guilty for no reason, looked at Ping Barley, then at Xiaolu in front of him, and then asked her ignorantly, "Have I ever made him angry?"

"No. Don't run around and cause trouble, and he won't compete with you." Xiaolu took the initiative to pull his wrist and said, "Come with me, and I'll show you something."

"Miss Green..."

Xie Hengyan said "Hey", before he could ask a word, Xiaolu dragged him across the yard, Xie Hengyan limped behind Xiaolu with his stiff iron legs, the two finally stopped at Xiaolu In front of her bedroom door - of course, now Wu Nian is temporarily placed in the same place as her.

With a mysterious expression on her face, Xiaolu stretched out her hand and pushed the door open. Xie Hengyan was still in a daze, but when she crossed the threshold, she saw a pair of neat and clean new shoes, one big and one small, placed beside her bed.

At that time, Wu Nian was nestled in a brand-new swaddling baby, her eyes were closed tightly, her breathing fluctuated, and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

Careful Xiaolu prepared winter clothes, cotton socks, and soft pillows for her, and even sent someone to cut the mattress to the smallest size for her to sleep more securely in winter.

"The small shoes are made for her, and the big shoes are made for you." Little Green pointed to the pair of clean new shoes, and said, "Considering that it is not convenient for you to walk, the soles are very thick, so it shouldn't be uncomfortable to wear."

Xie Hengyan was still in a daze, looking at the new pair of shoes, and at Wu Nian on the bed. After a long while, she slowly squeezed out a sentence: "This...how embarrassing me..."

"Also... About her eye disease, I asked Dr. Wei in the town." Xiaolu said softly, "I will make a special trip to the clinic the next day to see her, maybe it can be cured."

You can probably see it... a bit of anomaly, but you can rest assured that you won't write any more. Xiaoxie and Xiaolu stop at sisterhood. The appearance of Xiaolu is to let Xiaoxie realize more deeply that printing Pour how different from others.

Xiaolu: Why am I in such a miserable situation? I take care of the couple by myself, and I also help take care of the children.

Yinzhu: My knife is ready.

Xie Hengyan: I...my biggest mistake is that I am as beautiful as a fairy.
