Qianxiang Baimei

Chapter 6

Behind the inner door is another courtyard, where several carts are neatly lined up. The strange thing is that the beasts pulling the carts are not ordinary horses, but several tall deer. The long horns on the top of their heads are as white as snow, which is the most bizarre. What is most striking is the color of their fur, which is as colorful as an iridescent light, extremely dazzling and beautiful.

It was the first time for Little Bangchui to see such a strange and beautiful animal, and he couldn't help staring at it for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a burst of laughter from not far behind, and a moderate voice mocked: "Where did the beggar come from? There was a stench from afar."

Laughter sounded, and the little mallet turned around, and saw a few little boys sitting in a small pavilion in the courtyard. They all looked neat, with red lips and white teeth. They were staring at him and laughing, winking and winking.

She wandered outside with her master. Over the years, she has seen a lot of people's warmth and coldness. She has always adhered to the principle of not causing trouble. These boys are dressed in gorgeous clothes. At first glance, they are children of wealthy families. It is better to have less than one thing. She pretended not to hear , turned around and continued to look at the deer.

"Country bun, I've never even seen a rainbow deer, look, his eyeballs are about to fall off."

The sneering and tittering behind her continued, and the little mallet silently moved away in another direction. There was no one in the northwest corner, so she walked over and sat on the ground, letting out a long breath.

There are already more than a dozen children gathered in the courtyard, the youngest looks to be only six or seven years old, and the oldest girl is a head taller than the people around them, all of them should have passed the preliminary examination.Little Bangchui thought of the bustling crowd outside, there were so many people, and only so many were selected until now. The primary election is so difficult, and I don’t know what the second election will be like.

She thought of the hoarse voice that appeared in her ear during the first election, it sounded like an old man, did he continue to follow her now?

"Old mister...Old mister? Are you there?" She whispered, "Thank you for reminding me just now."

No one answered her.

The little mallet looked around, but still found no suspicious figure, she said again: "Old man? Are you gone? What do you mean by making me hold my breath? Old man?"

Still no one answered, the little mallet scratched her hair, could it be that she was hallucinating just now?

The dark inner door suddenly opened, and this time three dusty children came in one after another. They looked about the same age as me, and their clothes were covered with patches. Although they were cleaner than me, they were not much better. The two girls Walking in front, a boy followed behind, who seemed to know each other, and one of the girls was chattering non-stop.

"Ah!" the croaking girl suddenly yelled, and ran to Honglu's side, happily, "Could this be the legendary fairy beast?! Sister! Look!"

This exaggerated behavior was obviously ridiculed by the rich boys in the pavilion. A boy in green clothes imitated her in a strange way: "Sister! Look! Wow, I have never seen it before! Fairy beast!"

The girl blushed from the laughter, her lips moved, as if she wanted to reply, but the boy next to her gently pulled her aside, and said in a low voice, "Don't pay attention to them."

The three of them turned around and saw the ragged little mallet in the corner, they were all taken aback for a moment, they probably didn't expect to see the same kind of down-and-out fellow who was also covered in patches here.

"Are you alone?" The girl came over with a smile, "Can we sit together?"

Little Mallet nodded, and wiped the bricks beside him with his sleeve: "Sit down."

"My name is Baili Gelin, and I am ten years old this year. This is my sister Baili Changyue, who is 12 years old this year. By the way, he is our younger brother, and his name is Ye Ye. Haha, isn't it a weird name?"

Changyue, Gelin, who would give their daughter such an elegant name, should not be an ordinary farm couple, not to mention the surname "Baili", which is a very rare surname, she seems to have heard of it somewhere... her sister The two look so downcast, what is the reason?They also said that the boy next to them is their younger brother, isn't it their biological brother?Not even the same last name...

The little mallet looked at the three of them silently. Although the two sisters were dressed in rags and covered in dirt, they were beautiful in appearance and had a charm in their gestures, unlike the daughters of ordinary families.The boy named Ye Ye is also very good looking, completely different from those muddy children in the countryside.

"Who is your brother?" Ye Ye gave Baili Gelin a white look, "I am one year older than you, you should call me brother."

He nodded towards the little stick as a greeting: "I only met them a year ago, and we all have nowhere to go, so we can just be a companion and take care of each other."

"What's your name?" Baili Gelin held her arm with the little mallet in his hand.

"Little mallet, I'm also ten years old."

"Pfft..." Baili Gelin laughed loudly, "Little stick? How could someone be called this kind of name? What's your surname?"

The name is funny?The little mallet retracted the arm she was holding: "I don't have a surname. I was picked up by the master, and the name is given by the master."

Baili Gelin hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean anything..."

"Look, she has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, offending people all day long." Ye Ye tapped Baili Gelin's head lightly, and said again: "She has always spoken without thinking, so don't think too much. Do you have a master? Do you want to teach you the magic method?"

Little Stick nodded: "Well, Master taught me alchemy, but it's a pity that I'm not talented enough to learn it."

"Don't be modest." Ye Ye laughed, "If you can pass the primary election of Chufeng Academy, your talent will not be bad."

The primary election... In fact, she didn't know how she passed the primary election... The little mallet touched her head, and she remembered that hoarse voice again. It should not be an auditory hallucination. Who the hell is he?What's the point of letting yourself hold your breath?
Maybe it was because they were talking and laughing louder, and the rich boys in the pavilion began to sneer again: "The beggars gathered together, it's really big, are you discussing begging together?"

Baili Gelin showed a look of disgust on his pretty face, and said in a low voice, "It's really annoying, these people."

"Why bother with them." Ye Ye squatted beside her, "It should be some powerful children in the family, let them use their mouths, maybe none of them will pass the second election."

"Do you know what the second choice is like?" Xiao Bangchui couldn't help asking when he saw that he seemed to understand these things well during his conversation.

Ye Ye shook his head: "Think about it, so many people are elected in a small town of Lugong, how many people do we have in total in so many places in Middle-earth? There are only a few dozen people who can enter the Young Phoenix Academy every year , isn’t that one in a hundred thousand, one in a million?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a black shadow shooting from behind, hitting the back of his neck. Ye Ye groaned in pain and fell to the ground unbearably.There was something rolling down beside him, but it was an ingot of five taels of silver.A few boys in the pavilion danced at them, made funny faces, and laughed loudly: "It's for you! A group of beggars are chattering, why don't you kneel down to thank them?!"

Too much deception.Little Bangchui frowned, and was about to get up, when Baili Changyue, who had been silent just now, bent down to pick up the silver, and walked towards the pavilion step by step.

"Changyue!" Ye Ye grabbed her, "I'm fine, don't go."

"You were beaten." Baili Changyue frowned slightly, her tone was indifferent, completely opposite to her lively younger sister who could talk and laugh.

"I don't hurt, don't cause trouble!" Ye Ye grabbed her and wouldn't let go.

While they were talking, the dark inner door opened again, and a young girl with luxurious clothes and gorgeous appearance came in. The children in the courtyard couldn't help but peek at her secretly. Walk in without squinting, like a little phoenix.The boys in the pavilion stopped making noise, and after a while, a boy in yellow clothes ran out, said something to her, and invited her to sit with her in the pavilion.

"This looks like the daughter of a prince or nobleman." Ye Ye smiled bitterly, and pulled Baili Changyue back to sit next to him, "I'm fine, if you rush over like this, you'll have to fight , why bother?"

He snatched the silver and threw it far away without even looking at it.

"Does it hurt?" Baili Changyue reached out and rubbed his neck gently, "It's swollen."

"It's not broken again." He shook his head, "Look, it's good."

Baili Gelin giggled and made a face at him: "Rough skin and thick flesh!"

Maybe because there was a little beauty in the pavilion, the children didn't want to make her unhappy, and the gang of rich kids also temporarily stopped.Gradually, as Ye Ye said, more and more children passed the primary election. Seeing the sunset, the primary election will soon end. It is said that the carts pulled by these rainbow deer will transport the children who passed the primary election Take it to another place for the second selection, and those who are not selected will be pulled home in a cart.

The little mallet tightly pinched the evil spirit bead on her wrist. If she didn't pass the second round, where would the cart send her?Master is gone, she has no home anymore, she can't pass the second choice, maybe she will never have a chance to find Master and senior brother in her life, what will Master do?What about herself?Can I just wander around the world alone?
Just as she was lost in thought, the dark inner door opened again, and a timid little boy walked in. He looked seven or eight years old, with the same ragged clothes and dirt on his face, but he was not as casual and bold as Baili Gelin and others. Shrugging his shoulders all the way into the courtyard, he didn't dare to lift his head, and he kept bowing and apologizing when he accidentally bumped into someone—he must be a child who has suffered all kinds of hardships.

Xiao Bangchui suddenly felt uncomfortable. She couldn't pass the second choice, and she didn't have a master. She might become like this in the future. She can't do anything and has no means of earning a living. , I am afraid when I see people.

The little boy tremblingly found a corner and huddled. After a while, he probably found a gorgeous and beautiful little girl sitting in the pavilion. Even he couldn't help but look up a few more times.His cowering appearance was so eye-catching that the rich children in the pavilion couldn't sit still immediately, and one child jumped up and shouted: "Hey! What are you looking at with your dog eyes?!"

The little boy suddenly said "ah", pointed at the little beauty and cried out.

"You...you..." He stammered, his face flushed, as if he was angry and anxious, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

"Do you know him?" A white-clothed boy in the pavilion couldn't help asking.

The little beauty frowned unhappily: "How could I know such a beggar! This beggar is so bold! How dare he point his finger at me!"

The boys in the booth started a fuss, and someone picked up a stone and threw it at it, shouting, "Get out!"

The stone the size of a fist just hit the little boy on the forehead, and he was bleeding all over his face immediately, and he burst into tears with a "wow" in pain, crying heart-piercingly.

However, the more he cried, the more stones were thrown at him, and within a few hits, his head was bleeding, and the sound of crying became smaller and smaller as he squatted on the ground.

"It's too much!" Baili Gelin's eyes were burning with anger, "Is no one caring?!"

As soon as the words fell, the little mallet at the side had already run over. She grabbed the crying boy and said angrily, "Why are you crying?! It's really useless!"

After being yelled at by her, the child cried even harder, with blood mixed with snot and tears, making a mess on his face.

There was a sound of wind behind her head, and the little mallet nimbly dodged the stone that hit her. She turned around and looked coldly at the boys in the pavilion.

"Today I will teach you a lesson for your father and mother." She rolled up her sleeves, breathed into her palm, bent down to pick up a stone, and threw it out with all her strength, only to hear a "pop", the face of a boy in the pavilion was immediately covered by the stone. Swollen, he covered his face and screamed.

Everyone was stunned, probably no one thought that this little beggar dared to hit those children in the pavilion, and the children sitting there were either wealthy children or princes and nobles!

The little mallet moved very fast, she was not good at alchemy, but she was really good at fisting and kicking. She hit people with stones every time, every one of them hit the cheek, and there was constant crying in the pavilion.The white-clothed boy who looked like the boss was so angry that he pointed at her and kept shaking his hands, unable to speak: "You, you are so courageous... Do you know who I am?!"

"I'll return the silver to you!" The little mallet picked up the five-liang ingot of silver that they threw just now, and with a twist of the wrist, the silver "slapped" on the face of the boy in white. Yes, the silver smacked his face but didn't fall, instead it bounced up and landed on top of his head exactly.

Except for the little beauty with a green face, there was no one standing in the pavilion, and everyone covered their faces and heads and howled.The little mallet clapped his hands, waved his fist towards the pavilion, and sneered, "Is it comfortable?"

　I also think it's weird that there are no chapter names, let me think about pinching out the chapter names...
