Meng Qixue put her chin on her hand and looked at her with disdain, "You can't even beat a child, how can you have the nerve to blame my mother?"
Hongying raised her hands and admitted defeat: "Okay, it's my fault, I shut up."
The little kid's mouth is getting more and more vicious, and I don't know who he learned it from.
Half an hour later, the two of them and one ghost were still bumping on the road back to the village. Meng Qixue rubbed her butt that was about to be split into eight pieces, opened the car curtain and asked Yuan Xudong: "Uncle, why haven't we arrived yet? Who are you?
Didn't you go the wrong way?"
"It's impossible. I've traveled this road several times and I can find the right direction with my eyes closed. How can I get lost?"
Yuan Xudong spoke firmly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he drove the carriage into a tree.
Hongying reacted quickly, picked up Meng Qixue and broke out of the window, while Yuan Xudong threw her to the ground.
"Yuan Xudong, are you blind? You can hit such a thick tree?" Hongying cursed.
"No, there was nothing here just now!" Yuan Xudong rubbed his butt and got up. He was stunned when he saw the path covered with grass in front of him. "That's not right. I was obviously walking on the main road. Why did I suddenly run onto the path?"
Meng Qixue answered: "Isn't this the way home?"
She followed her mother back and forth between Yanghua Village and Stone Town every day, and she remembered the scenery along the road very clearly. There was absolutely no path covered with weeds.
"But I obviously followed the previous route?" Yuan Xudong fell into self-doubt, "Are you trying to beat the wall?"
Meng Qixue suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Hongying with a look of horror on her face, "We won't be targeted by that strange person again, will we?"
"She is indeed the little sister I have fallen in love with. She is indeed smart."
A girl's harsh laughter suddenly sounded above their heads. The two of them quickly looked up and saw a woman in a black robe sitting on the poplar tree. The woman's face was covered with a veil, only her dark eyes and pink hair were exposed.
The velvet flower flutters in the wind, like a butterfly spreading its wings.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!" Yuan Xudong bravely rushed forward, protecting Hongying and Meng Qixue behind him, but his calves were shaking like chaff, and he asked in a low voice: "Is the one above a human or a ghost?
"
Meng Qixue scratched her face in confusion, "I don't know, but her voice sounds like the sister who wants to steal my crown."
Especially the laughter, which is as unpleasant as the cry of the stupid goose in the village.
"That's her." Hongying gave the answer, raising her head and akimbo to challenge the woman: "You're doing well. You changed into a new shell so quickly, but it's useless to change the shell. You still can't beat me if you should."
"As long as I can beat you!" the woman sneered, swooped down from the tree, and scratched Hongying's face with her sharp nails.
"You're too vicious, little brat, aren't you?"
This is a deliberate attempt to disfigure her!
Hongying dodged the attack and shouted loudly to Yuan Xudong while retreating: "I'll hold her back, take Xuebao home quickly!"
As he spoke, he took out his hairpin and started fighting with the woman.
Yuan Xudong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, picked up Meng Qixue and ran away.
Hongying screamed from behind: "Silly x, ride a horse!"
How long can you run on just two legs?
Oh, yes, you can also ride horses.
Yuan Xudong quickly turned around and ran back. Not far behind him was the sound of horse hooves, and a group of men on horseback were running towards him!
"Xue Bao, hide behind my uncle. I will fight with them!" Yuan Xudong put Meng Qixue on the ground, pulled out the dagger from his waist, straightened his chest, and looked like he was going to die heroically.
Meng Qixue tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Uncle Yuan, don't get excited. Ask them what they want to do first. What if they are sent by my mother to protect me?"
"That's right." Yuan Xudong put the dagger back again.
In a matter of seconds, the men on horseback rushed in front of the two of them.
Yuan Xudong skillfully put on a smile and was about to greet them. Before he could open his mouth, he was kicked away by the man with the head.
Meng Qixue saw something was wrong and ran away, but her short legs could not outrun the horse's legs. The man easily caught her on the horse's back.
Yuan Xudong and Hongying ran to grab people at the same time, but one was pushed into a stinky ditch on the roadside by a man, and the other was tied to a poplar tree by a female ghost using magic.
One person and one ghost could only watch helplessly as Meng Qixue was taken away by those men.
*
A private estate north of Stone Town.
A man about forty years old, dressed in luxurious clothes, was anxiously guarding the door. The old housekeeper was advising him: "Master, don't worry, Aunt Tao has taken action herself, this matter will definitely be done."
The man looked at him with complicated eyes, shook his head and said nothing. When he looked up again, he saw thick smoke billowing in front of him. The men who went out to arrest people came back, and the leader actually held a little girl in a red dress in his arms.
"It's done, it's done!" The housekeeper clapped his hands and stamped his feet excitedly.
There was no joy at all on the man's face, and his expression became more solemn.
The man jumped off his horse, pushed Meng Qixue in front of the man, and said loudly: "We have already arrived. Please settle the bill, Master Qi, and my brothers and I will not go in."
The man lowered his head and met Meng Qi's big, watery eyes, which were as clear as mountain springs and as bright and moving as the bright moon in the sky.
The man's heart suddenly hurt, as if a big invisible hand had pinched his throat, and it became extremely difficult to breathe.
"Little girl, you..."
He opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Meng Qixue stared at him as if guarding against a wolf, clenched her fists, and slowly moved back with small steps, muttering something in her mouth: "Meng Qixue, don't be afraid, mother will come to save you soon, right away
...Woo, grandpa, please don't catch me..."
The little girl wiped her tears and begged, crying: "Don't look at me because I am small. In fact, I may eat eight bowls of rice in one meal, and I will make you poor. Please let me go."
The man listened to her pitiful cries, sighed, and looked back at the housekeeper, "How about we let her go? The little girl is quite pitiful."
"Yes, I'm really pitiful." Meng Qixue wiped her tears in tears, "My mother disappeared when I was very young, and I only have one father. My father is bad. He likes to drink and beat children. I
Being chased and beaten by him every day is really miserable!"
Although she didn't know why the man was arresting her, she just wanted to be miserable. What if it was really useful?
She was crying with real emotion, so he reached out halfway and picked her up.
The housekeeper roughly threw her into the yard and reminded the man emotionally: "Master, please think about the young lady on the hospital bed. She is still waiting for us to save her life!"
"Xin Yue is pitiful, but this little girl is just as pitiful." For some reason, the man felt particularly distressed when he saw her crying, as if a piece of his heart had been cut out, and it hurt painfully.
"At this time, is Mr. Qi still showing kindness to women?" A woman in black robe suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, looking at the man with sharp eyebrows and said: "Is your daughter's life more important than the life of a stranger?"
