[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

On the official road leading to Luoyang, there are horse-drawn carriages passing by from time to time, but the speed is not fast.Because not far from here, there is a post station, although it is simple, it allows people who have been traveling for half a day to rest and drink tea.

At this time, not far from the post station, there were four young figures staggering forward.

It was Mo Yu, Mao Mao, Xiao Bai and Miao who left from Daoxiang Village.

But they said that when they left the village that day, they were ambushed by bandits and were almost caught in a pincer attack.

In desperation, Wang Fubing, who was very familiar with the surrounding terrain, made a dangerous move, ordered everyone in the car to hold on to the fence of the carriage, and then rushed straight into the encirclement of a group of bandits at the fastest speed, and when he was about to reach the bandits But it was a sharp U-turn that caused the carriage to rush into the small woods.

The grove was a downhill road, and Wang Fu was already driving very fast, but now he was going downhill so fast that he almost threw Xiao Bai out.

It was very difficult to stop the carriage, but he hurriedly urged everyone to get off the carriage. The reason is that this small forest is lush with vegetation, and it is extremely difficult to find people here.

Wang Fu pointed in two directions and told everyone to disperse.Because the children were short and could hide better, he drove the four little ghosts to let them run first, and told them to keep running without turning. After crossing a wooden bridge, they saw the town, and asked them to wait for him in the town.

Seeing this, the four children were also obedient, took a package that Mrs. Ruan had prepared for them, and ran towards the direction pointed by Wang Fu.

It's a pity that God's wishes failed. The wooden bridge Wang Fu mentioned had been washed away by the torrential rain a few days ago. The river was wide and fast. None of the four children could swim, and they were blocked by the river. , Looking at the other side, I was anxious, but I just couldn't make it through.

Unable to cross the river and not knowing the surrounding roads, the four of them simply wrapped up their belongings, crouched and huddled in the tall grass, waiting for Wang Fu and the Ruan couple.

But who would have thought that they squatted in the grass all night, and no one came here at dawn the next day.So the four of them didn't wait any longer, and prepared to go back along the original road to have a look, thinking that if they were careful, they wouldn't be discovered by bandits.

The four of them were very careful along the way, but they were not spotted by the bandits, but unfortunately they got lost in the woods—in a woods where the grass was taller than them.

Unless you have a good sense of direction in this kind of place, it is almost impossible not to get lost.

So the four of them wandered around in the woods, and they still spent the night in the grass with bumps and bumps. Finally, they slowly groped out of the woods with Miao's sense of direction.

So three big men (Da Wu) are not as good as a girl's sense of direction ==.

After leaving the woods, Mao Mao and Miao are both people who are used to squatting at home and have negative survival skills outside. Fortunately, Mo Yu and Xiao Bai have a certain understanding of the outside world, and slowly found the official way.

But then the problem came again—they didn't know which town Wang Fu wanted them to go to.

They were with the elders before, but the situation was too urgent when they dispersed, so they didn't know the name of the town at all, and they couldn't even ask for directions.

In the end, we had to unanimously decide to go to Luoyang, which was mentioned by the village chief's grandfather.

It was simply that they all carried their own small bundles, and before leaving, Ruan gave them another bundle containing dry food and some soft ones.They took the official road along the way, followed the road signs during the day, ate some dry food when they were hungry, and found a hidden corner to hide and rest at night. After more than a month, the official road from Daoxiang Village to Luoyang made their four children go all the way. Halfway through safely.

"Ah... no, let's stop and rest for a while..."

Xiaobai was out of breath, and felt that the soles of his feet were terribly painful. They had been walking under the sun for three hours in a row. During this time, they hadn't had a drop of water and only ate a little dry food. Now their throats were so thirsty that they were smoking.

Hearing this, Miao pursed her dry lips, her complexion was no better than Xiaobai's, but her back was still very straight, and she didn't look as tired as Xiaobai.

Watch Mo Yu and Mao Mao again.

Mao Mao was younger than the other three, and couldn't stand the long-distance running. At this moment, he leaned on Mo Yu's shoulder and walked forward with difficulty.Mo Yu was relatively better, he could still walk with Mao Mao supported, but his face was still a little pale.

"Or, let's take a rest before leaving." Miao suggested, but was rejected by Mo Yu shaking his head.

"It's getting dark, we have to go a little further."

Mo Yu looked up at the sky that was about to darken, and saw some carriages not far away. There seemed to be a lot of voices coming from the wind, so he encouraged the people around him: "There seem to be people gathered in front. Surely we'll find water to drink, and then we'll have a good rest..."

Mao Mao, Xiao Bai and Miao looked at each other and encouraged each other, "Let's keep going!"

————————————————————————

Aunt Ning is a pretty ordinary-looking woman. She is in her early thirties this year, but she has taken good care of herself in this remote village. Because her father was a scholar in the village, she also studied for several years when she was a child, so she has a bookish air about her.She was married at the age of 15 to the son of a village head in a neighboring village.Later, when her husband came to Luoyang Road to serve as a postman, she followed her and opened a small tea stall next to her, and she lived a peaceful life.

Since I was a child, I followed my grandmother at home to believe in Buddhism, and I also believed that being kind to others would bring blessings, so since Aunt Ning opened this tea stall, among all kinds of passers-by on Luoyang Road, whether they are returning home Aunt Ning can take care of people who are visiting relatives or doing business, whether they are people from the rivers and lakes with swords on their backs, or ordinary people who are driving horses and donkeys.

If she met those poor people, Aunt Ning would charge less money or not at all, and would prepare hot meals and tea for them.Therefore, within a radius of tens of miles, there are almost no residents who live near here or passers-by who often walk this way.

Aunt Ning did this, of course, not for her own good fortune, but for her two children.

After more than ten years of marriage with her husband, Aunt Ning only had this pair of children.Perhaps it was because of her own poor health, and the two children she gave birth to were also weak and sickly, and often took medicine, which made her very worried.

So after her youngest son was full moon, she made a wish to the Buddha, willing to do more good deeds in the future in exchange for the safety of her children, and the miracle is that Mrs. Ning's sincerity worked. Although the bodies of her daughter and son are still relatively weak, they are still Never been sick again.So Aunt Ning has become more and more devout to Buddha since then.

Aunt Ning is a very enthusiastic person. Usually, if there are new customers at the tea stand, no matter how busy she is, she will go up to greet them to sit down first.But today Aunt Ning was obviously absent-minded, and she didn't even realize that someone had already called her several times.

It wasn't until the sleeves were gently pulled that Aunt Ning suddenly came back to her senses.

Taking a closer look, there was a little girl in front of her who looked no more than six years old, looking at herself with a pair of black and bright eyes.Seeing that this little girl is not very old, she is wearing coarse cloth clothes that look like floral patterns. Although her small face is covered with dust, it can still be seen that she is an extremely beautiful beauty.

Aunt Ning froze in place, looking at the little girl puzzled, not understanding what the little girl wanted to do.

"Mother, may I ask... can you get me and my friend some water to drink..." The little girl's voice was crisp, she blinked her big eyes at Aunt Ning and lowered her head slightly, with one hand still clutching the corner of her clothes , appearing a little introverted.

"aunt……?"

The voice of the little girl calling again made Aunt Ning react.

He also looked at the three boys behind the little girl. The oldest looked to be ten years old, and the youngest looked to be only six or seven years old. They all looked a little tired, and they were looking at her together at this moment.

Aunt Ning was stared at by four pairs of eyes, and immediately felt her face flushed. She hurriedly found a table for the children to sit down, and went to fetch some clay bowls, and poured water for them to drink.

Xu Shi was extremely thirsty, and after the four children thanked Aunt Ning, they immediately took up bowls and put them in their mouths. One of the round-faced little boys choked on him because he drank in a hurry, and couldn't stop Coughing, the two boys and the little girl next to him rushed forward and patted his back hurriedly, which made him slowly recover.

Immediately, the oldest-looking boy curled his lips at the choking boy and said, "Hmph, Xiaobai is so stupid, he chokes on food and drink."

"Hee hee, brother Xiaobai is stupid..." The youngest boy clapped his hands in agreement, and the little girl sitting next to him seemed to be snickering too.

"Xiaoyu, you—!" The round-faced boy glared at his companion in dissatisfaction, "Maomao, you're talking like Xiaoyu again..."

"Not bad, not bad, I can use idioms, it seems that Mrs. Xiaoyu has achieved remarkable results recently..."

The little girl sitting on the side looked very happy with a smile on her face, and she also opened her mouth to help out at this time, blocking back what the round-faced boy was about to say.

These four people are Mo Yu and his party.

After coming out of Daoxiang Village, I walked along the official road to Luoyang. Because I was really tired halfway, I happened to be near the station again, so I went to the tea stand next to the station to ask for some water.

Facing Miao and Mao Mao's laughter, Xiao Bai didn't fight back at them, instead he rolled his eyes at Mo Yu angrily, which made Mo Yu roll his eyes back.

Miao was laughed at by the two people, but Xiaobai quickly ignored Mo Yu, but reached out to feel in the bag, and quickly took out a copper coin and put it in front of Miao.

Facing Miao's questioning eyes, Xiaobai pouted in the direction of Aunt Ning, and she suddenly realized something while holding the copper coin.

Along the way, although the four of them were still children, they had a good understanding with each other. Xiaobai didn't need to say anything, Miao understood what he meant, took the money and walked to Aunt Ning.

Aunt Ning was in a daze, when suddenly a hand holding a copper coin appeared in her sight, and when she looked up, it was the little girl among the four children just now.

"Auntie, this is tea money, do you see enough?" Because Aunt Ning is relatively tall, Miao's height just reached her waist, so in order for her to see the copper coin, she had to raise her hand vigorously.

Aunt Ning looked at the cute look of the little girl in front of her, and couldn't help bursting out laughing, reached out to take the copper coins, and said quickly: "Enough is enough, there is still left, I will treat you to eat with the rest. Is the noodle soup good?"

Miao's eyes seemed to light up when she heard the noodle soup, and she thanked, "Thank you ma'am, I'll serve you a bowl later!"

When she was still in Daoxiang Village, what Miao liked most was the noodle soup that Grandma Wang made for her to celebrate her birthday. But she was very moved. For the first time, she ate a big bowl of noodle soup.

Of course, she also paid a terrible price. She couldn't sleep because of her bloated stomach that night, and she had to be dragged by Granny Wang to Xiaoyue's to prescribe a pair of medicine.

Aunt Ning said with a smile when she heard the words: "Okay, so good...then..."

"Mother! Mother! I'm back!"

A shout like a silver bell interrupted Aunt Ning's words. Listening carefully, there seemed to be a little excitement in the voice.

Aunt Ning subconsciously turned her head to look, and when she saw who was coming, her face was overjoyed, and the hanging rocks in her heart were finally let go.

The person who came was none other than Aunt Ning's daughter, Ning Lanlan!

Sister-in-law Ning's appearance is mediocre, but her daughter Ning Lanlan has a rare good-looking appearance, and she has been pampered by her since she was a child. She is only 14 years old this year, and she is already very slim.Every time she returned to her hometown, the people she had a good relationship with would ask her about Lan Lan's marriage inside and out.

But she and her husband love this daughter who is not in good health too much, so they want her to stay at home for two more years, and then send her out when she is 16 years old.

Therefore, in the past two years, the couple took their daughter with them to take care of them. Aunt Ning thought the tea stall was too crowded, so she didn't let her daughter help out at the tea stall. Play.

My daughter has always been well-behaved, and there are many people in the neighboring villages who have a lot of contact with my family. In addition, the post station is close to the capital, and the surrounding security is also very good. Therefore, Aunt Ning was not too worried about her daughter going out to play in the past.

But recently, for some reason, my daughter always said that she would go to play with Lianxiu from the old Qi's family in the east of the neighboring village. Aunt Ning was wondering if her daughter was not familiar with Lianxiu all along, but why is she so close now?

Aunt Ning didn't care much about her youngest daughter's family, but gradually, since her daughter got closer to that girl from the Qi family, the time to return home was getting later and later, especially early in the morning during the day. He was about to go out, and sometimes he even stayed at Qi's house all day long to play with that girl.

After all, Aunt Ning was worried about her daughter, and she went to Qi's house by herself, but found that her daughter and the girl from Qi's family were really just playing at home, so she was relieved at first.

It's just that since then, the originally docile daughter has become abnormal, and sometimes she will say some weird things. How can Aunt Ning not worry about this?

It was the same today, Ning Lanlan said she was looking for Lianxiu, but she went out early in the morning, and she didn't even have time to eat the breakfast that Aunt Ning prepared for her.Today, more than half of the day has passed, but no one has come back, which makes Aunt Ning feel anxious and worried. She is also absent-minded about starting the tea stall business. She only thinks that her daughter must have a good chat with her when she comes back. , Ask if there is anything wrong.

Aunt Ning, who was worried about her daughter, just when she was teased by the little girl she met today and her mood improved a little, she suddenly saw her daughter come back, and the time of returning was much earlier than the previous few days, which made Aunt Ning happy .

"Lan Lan is back, are you tired—!"

Aunt Ning happily stepped forward to hold her daughter's hand, and before she had time to look at her, she found two people standing behind her daughter—two young women.

Aunt Ning couldn't help being stunned.

I saw a tall and beautiful woman standing slightly in front. She wore a golden headband, her black hair poured down like a waterfall, and she was only wearing a snow-white skirt. The skirt had very little fabric, but it did not reveal , but the slender legs seem to be looming between the slit skirt, which is very different from the Central Plains style.

If this beautiful woman in white just made Aunt Ning a little stunned, then the other woman standing beside her shocked Aunt Ning severely.

It was a soft and charming girl in a flame-like red dress, her eyes were like stars, her red lips were like fire, she looked charming and pure.

The red cedar dress on her was very similar to that of the woman in white, but it was more revealing, with her left leg completely exposed.Because the skirt is so short, you can even see her tender and slender feet stepping on the ground.

And this red-clothed girl is none other than Qi Lianxiu, who lives in the east of the neighboring village and is quite familiar to Aunt Ning!

At this moment, the woman in white who had been standing behind Ning Lanlan walked forward slowly, nodded to Aunt Ning, and introduced with a gentle smile: "Hello, I'm Suang..."

"I am a faithful believer of the true God Ahriman."

The author has something to say:

All the saints of the Red Clothes Sect are so beautiful QAQ, although it is not normal for the three views to be educated by the leader, the story behind Tanxue in the setting set also makes people feel that the three views have been refreshed-but the clothes are really good-looking QAQ !

Speaking of which, before I thought about writing a heroine who taught the saint in red, forget it, but thinking about Assassin’s brutal theory of yin and yang and only more brutal brainwashing skills, I can only wait until I write Lily in the future. Come to use ==.
