This Fengxi was still restless even after staying with me in the woodshed. She looked at me and cursed,
"If it weren't for you, I would be the wife of the Hou Mansion now. The more I look at you now, the more disgusting I feel." As she said that, she walked towards me.
"Before, I didn't want to fight with you because I was in front of the Marquis. Now it seems it's time for me to take revenge."
I saw her stretching out her hands, taking off my veil, and grabbing her. I hurriedly stepped forward to catch her, but who knew that Feng Xi's hands became extremely stiff and pulled my
My clothes were scratched and there were deep blood marks on my face from her scratches.
I hurriedly tried to see if I could use my cultivation. Fortunately, I still had essence in my body, so I hurriedly immobilized her. Then I kicked her in the stomach with a flying kick, and a long sword appeared in my hand, ready to hit her face.
The painting was messy. I thought, if this was too obvious, my father would definitely punish me.
It's better to take off her clothes and tattoo a few words on her body, so that her father will be in a bad mood when he sees her.
"Su Daji, what are you going to do? Do you dare? I will never forgive you!" Then I heard Feng Xi wailing. My masterpiece was completed. Before I looked at Feng Xi, I stabbed four words.
"No one can do anything". He looked at her back and said he was "easy-going".
I was admiring my masterpiece with satisfaction when I suddenly heard someone shouting from outside,
"Fire!"
Why did it catch fire?
I saw a thick smoke billowing in from the woodshed. At this time, Feng Xi looked at me,
"Why don't you release me quickly, or we will all turn into charcoal in a while?"
"It was you who turned into charcoal, not us."
I looked at Feng Xi and replied.
Then I kicked open the woodshed door, and heard Feng Xi shouting from behind,
"Su Daji, are you just leaving? After all, we have been playing together since childhood. I am always an enemy of you. Is that because I am jealous of you? You have the love of your parents, and you have been a prince since you were born.
Your daughter. Although your face is ugly, your life is also carefree. Your parents still love you. But I am different. I was abandoned in the mountains when I was a child and left to fend for myself. You said
Am I not as good as you in any way? Why is fate so unfair to me?"
After hearing what she said, my heart trembled. After all, in real life, I grew up with my grandma, and my parents ignored me. I hurried back and untied her.
Shufa. Then he took her hand and ran out of the woodshed door. After coming out, Feng Xi looked at me with a smile,
"Thank you Daji. Since you saved me, I will definitely be your maid in the future to repay you."
"I hope! I hope you don't forget what you said and don't frame me again in the future."
At this time, my father and mother were standing in front of me and Feng Xi holding a bundle. My father looked at me,
"Daji is my father, can't I forgive you? The current King Zhou is unruly. The conspiracy between me and Xibohou was exposed. King Zhou doesn't know who heard about my daughter Daji, that is, you, who has extraordinary appearance. And he forced me and you to
Mother will not let me go until she hands you over."
I thought to myself, but if someone with my appearance like this really handed me over, wouldn't that be the crime of deceiving the emperor? It would not be able to save my life.
"Dad, what should we do now?" I asked.
"You should run away as quickly as possible. It's best not to return to Jizhou now. If Kao'er doesn't dislike your appearance, just marry him!"
"No, dad, I won't leave. I want to stay with you and my mother."
"Silly boy, if they can't catch you, they won't do anything to us. After all, the rebellion between Xibohou and I is just an unfounded charge. What King Zhou wants is you? He won't do anything to us."
I looked at my mother and said,
"Mom, please advise Dad! The child doesn't want to leave you."
I saw my mother walking up to me with the baggage in hand.
"Good boy, listen to mother and leave quickly. We will definitely meet again one day in the future. Mother has prepared water and dry food for you, as well as some copper coins and shell coins." Then only a maidservant was seen.
He also took out my Jinse Yaoqin. It seemed that my father and mother were determined to drive me out of the Hou Mansion. As I said this, I saw my mother pushing me out of the Hou Mansion with tears in her eyes.
Father looked at Feng Xi,
"Feng Xi is the Marquis, and I can't help you! I hope you can stay with the young lady and take good care of her in the future."
Feng Xi also nodded slightly, and then said,
"Yes!" He then took the baggage and my Jinse Yaoqin.
In this way, Fengxi and I left the Hou Mansion and walked a long way. We came to a tea shop, and then walked inside the tea shop.
This tea shop is called a tea shop, but it is actually a simple shed made of straw mats. Next to the tea shop is a river, which has a thin layer of ice. There is a gray-haired man in the tea shop.
An old woman, I saw that the old woman was still carrying her back, her face was wrinkled and sallow, her hands were also covered with wrinkles, and she also had age spots. The old woman's eyes had been torn into triangular eyes by the drooping skin.
Wearing a large blue-gray cotton-padded jacket made of homespun cloth, we saw her walking towards us step by step.
"Hey, you two little girls, are you thirsty after walking all the way? Sit down and have a pot of hot tea before you go on your way?" I heard the old woman smiling while showing her black teeth.
asked us.
"Yes! We are very thirsty, please give us a pot of good tea quickly," Feng Xi replied.
"Okay! It's a coincidence that you are here today. Old lady, I have just brought a batch of good tea here. I bet you have never tasted it?" I saw the old lady wiping the runny nose with the sleeve of her cotton-padded jacket.
He replied with breath coming out of his mouth.
So Feng Xi and I nodded to the old lady and said,
"Um!"
So Feng Xi and I found a seat and sat down. At this time, I looked around and saw that the guests at other tables were not drinking tea or eating, but all of them were talking in weird ways.
They looked at me and Feng Xi. Some even turned their backs to us intentionally and looked back at us.
I just felt very strange, but I couldn't tell what was strange. Anyway, a sense of fear came from my heart. So I sat there without making a sound or moving. At this time, Feng Xi looked at me.
,
"Daji, do you see why these people are so ugly? They are all sallow and thin, with no blood at all, and their faces are ashen. They probably haven't eaten for a long time, so they are malnourished, right?"
I looked at Feng Xi and gave her a signal, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
After a while, the old woman came over with a teapot. Then she looked at us,
"You two girls, please enjoy your tea slowly. Today there is a cake as a gift. Please use it slowly." I saw the old woman holding out a plate of something like mung bean cake in her other hand. She put it on the table and turned around.
left.
Feng Xi picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and handed one cup to me. I drank the other cup in one gulp.
I looked at the people around me, and they looked at Feng Xi with joy and drank the cup of tea. Then they looked at me again. To be honest, it didn't matter to me that this acquaintance watched me eat, but
Now being watched by these strangers while I drink tea or eat something, I feel really uncomfortable.
I picked up the tea cup and looked into the tea bowl. A rotten grass leaf was floating in the tea bowl. Then I called the old woman over and asked,
"My mother-in-law, I have been drinking tea since I was a child, but why have I never seen tea leaves in this shape?"
"Girl, this tea is a specialty here! There is only a very small amount produced every year, and our locals don't have enough to drink it! Of course it won't be sent outside!" the mother-in-law replied in explanation.
"Grandma, can you tell me what kind of tea this is?"
"This...,,this is the aquatic tea in our river."
"Can aquatic plants be used as tea?" I took a small sip and then spat it out. It had a fishy smell.
"Why does this taste so bad? You guys can drink it and sell it to us as fine tea?"
"Girl, you don't know something. The first time you drink this tea, it will feel a little fishy. But this second sip is different. The more you drink, the sweeter it becomes."
So I took another slight sip,
"Bah!!! It's fishy and smelly, what is this?" The old woman also felt that she couldn't fool me, so she stepped forward and stopped me, then looked at the tea customers in the shop and said,
"If you don't come here quickly to help, do you still want to be reincarnated?"
At this time, Feng Xi's eyes were blurred, and she stared twice, then she lay on the table and held her stomach, her face was covered in sweat, and she screamed in pain.
"Fengxi, what's wrong with you?" I shouted.
Stop yelling, she has been poisoned by the water weeds in the river. I saw the tea drinkers came up to me, all looked at me, and then they all stretched out their hands to me, ready to help the mother-in-law pour the tea.
Drink it for me.
I won't wait for them to come and deal with me? A long sword appeared in my hand, and I closed my eyes and slashed randomly in front of my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I saw only the mother-in-law and a man in front of me.
A little boy of about six or seven years old.
I asked,
"You damn old woman, you are setting up a tea shop here to harm people's lives. Do you know that there are gods three feet above your head? Aren't you afraid of getting retribution for yourself?"
I saw the old woman plop down on her knees,
"Girl, please do me a favor and spare the lives of our grandparents. Two years ago, I passed by this place with my little grandson. My grandson mistakenly ate water plants in the river, vomited and had diarrhea, and died in one day.
I left and became a water ghost in the Daliu River, and this water ghost could only be reborn if he found a substitute. I couldn't bear to see my grandson being bullied by other water ghosts at a young age, so I stayed here.
We set up a tea shop here, and used the water plants as tea to trick people into drinking it, so that my grandson could be reincarnated as soon as possible!"
It seems that this old lady is still a human being, and the other tea guests just now are all water ghosts here. I looked at the old lady again,
"If you set up a tea shop here, there shouldn't be a single person who drinks your tea, right? You must have killed a lot of people, right? How come your grandson hasn't been reincarnated yet?"
"Just because of the food disasters that have occurred in successive years, there has been almost no food harvest here in the past few years. The people here are hungry. And because this waterweed looks like Houttuynia cordata, many people eat it by mistake, causing
There are a lot more water ghosts. And the water ghosts have to be reincarnated on a first-come, first-served basis. Whoever's turn it is will be reincarnated." I saw the old lady saying while wiping the tears left behind.
"But it is not good to harm other people's lives and reincarnate yourself. Let me see if there is any other way to help you reincarnate." I quickly replied, and then I helped the kneeling old lady in front of me up.
.
"Thank you so much, girl. I didn't expect that at such a young age, the girl would have such magical powers."
At this time, I looked at Feng Xi who was still lying on the table and asked,
"Then can my friend be saved?"
"There is help. There is a kind of green cocoa growing by the river. In summer, children pick it and play with it. They can also whistle."
"Mother-in-law, doesn't this mean you didn't say anything? It's a severe winter now?"
The old woman looked at me with a smile,
"When I do this kind of business, I am naturally afraid of harming good people and regretting it sometimes! So in the summer, I picked some and dried them to make hay. I will cook it and give it to your friend to drink.
"
"That's great, old man, hurry up and save this person!"
"Yes, that's okay, but girl, you must promise me that you will let my grandson reincarnate no matter what! Even if I trade my old woman's life for it, I am willing to do so."
I thought for a moment and then replied,
"Okay, old man, I promise you, please hurry up and save my friend."
Just like that, the old man walked into the inner room of the tea shop again.
