Chapter 3

That night, after teaching Li Goudan a few martial arts moves, Meng Xiaosu found a cave and slept with his clothes on, and soon fell asleep.

The sun was high in the sky, the sun was dazzling, and it made people feel dazed. She wanted to stretch out her hand to cover it, but found that she was already tied up.

Someone not far away shouted: "It's noon, behead!"

There was a faint commotion all around, and those voices were extremely strange, as if they were laughing or crying.Looking around, this is the Meridian Gate of the capital, and there are several familiar figures in front of him, they are father, brother and mother!

A pair of big knives that shone with cold light were raised high by the executioner, and then fell heavily, blocking the sunlight.Only a few "clicks" were heard, and the blood spurted out. The color was so dazzling that it made the tip of her nose sore, and her eyes felt warm.

Something drew an arc in mid-air, and then landed heavily, Meng Xiaocom tightly closed her eyes, unable to bear to look.

A scream came from the crowd: "It really is a witch!"

witch?Who is the witch!She looked around in horror, and inadvertently saw her head rolled to the ground, it rotted unusually quickly, her eyes were sunken in a way that was visible to the naked eye, her face was turning blue bit by bit, and the broken blood vessels were very fast. White worms grew out.

"It's this witch who killed hundreds of members of the Meng family!"

"If it wasn't for her, why would Master Meng and Young Master Meng be beheaded?"

What everyone was referring to was actually himself!Meng Xiaosuo wanted to speak out to defend herself, but she had already lost the ability to speak, and the head that fell on the ground seemed to be unwilling to do so, and rolled away far away, attracting more vicious curses and sharper scolding .A worm twisted its pale and greasy body, got out from her dry eyeballs, and crawled all the way to the rotten nostrils...

"what!"

When I woke up profusely, I realized it was just a dream.There seems to be a furry thing in the nostril, and when I look closely, it is a damn dog's tail grass.The person holding the grass has white and tender skin, a gentle temperament, and a harmless face for humans and animals. Isn't it who the chicken thief was yesterday?

"Girl, are you awake?" the chicken thief asked.

Meng Xiaoshu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, stared at him without saying a word.

"Girls with too much anger should make tea from Prunella vulgaris, mulberry leaves, chrysanthemums, and wolfberries. Take it regularly, and it will also beautify your skin. If you find it bitter, you can add rock sugar or honey to taste." He said with a smile.

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand, but Meng Xiaosuo didn't care what the saying is or not, and slapped him on the back of the head: "Your facial nerves are twitching, and your speech is confused. In my opinion, you have a strange disease called insanity. , I specialize in the treatment of brain-dead palms, which can help you alleviate the condition, [-] times a day, one course of treatment per month, you will get results, and you will be refunded if it doesn’t work.”

The dream just now was really terrifying, she hadn't come to her senses for a while, and her words were also spoken in a weak way, losing half of the lethality.

The young man still had a smile on his face: "The girl is really knowledgeable and talented, I admire, admire. By the way, I know your identity, shouldn't you give me some benefits?"

Meng Xiaosuo was startled, and his expression darkened immediately: "Oh? What if I don't give it?"

"Then I have no choice but to report to the police, tell them that you are a relative of Aunt Zhao's family, and let them arrest you too." The young man blatantly threatened.

Hearing this, Meng Xiaocom's heart fell heavily to the ground.Just now, she thought this guy knew that she was the widow of the Meng family.If he threatens himself with this matter, he will either really beat him to a brain damage, or make him close his eyes and go to the underworld to drink Mengpo soup.Who knew that what he was talking about was about Aunt Zhao...

"Okay, since you know that I am a relative of Aunt Zhao, then I will reluctantly give you this cave, and I will share half of the pheasants I catch in the future, how about it?" She raised her eyebrows with a calm expression.

The young man nodded and opened his mouth and said: "It's not a long-term solution for us to stay in this barren mountain and wild ridge. I have to gather the money to go back to the capital. I'm afraid my family members won't feel at ease after being away from home for too long."

"so what?"

"There are many wild animals in this forest. You can set more traps to catch some wild animals and sell them for money."

"That's right, you actually thought of the same place as me." Meng Xiaocom pulled the corner of his mouth and looked up at him, "In the depths of the jungle, there are a lot of ferocious beasts like wolves and tigers. I'll dig traps, and you will be responsible for attracting them." .” Said.Ignoring his expression as if he had eaten a fly, he got up and walked out of the cave, stretching his waist a lot.

It is naturally impossible to catch wolves and tigers. She is not so capable, but pheasants and hares are easy to catch, but with this little white face, she can't let go of her hands and feet. She is afraid that he will find out that she has martial arts, so she can only be honest. Shi dug the traps one by one, took the broken hoes stolen from Aunt Zhao's house a while ago, and worked hard all morning before digging out a dozen or so.

After the work was done, the first few traps dug already had prey. The three pheasants were male and two female, and the five hares were all male.

"Hare, hare, don't blame me for eating you, reincarnate well, and strive to be a human being in your next life." Meng Xiaoshao muttered something, and with a knife in his hand, he ripped open a rabbit.

The young man stood aside, seeing this scene, his expression did not change.

He didn't ask Meng Xiaosuo, a girl, why she carried such a sharp dagger with her, and he didn't ask where she learned this smooth and smooth knife technique.Some things are obvious, but the only thing that cannot be pointed out is to maintain the status quo so that everything will be fine. He understands this.

After the rabbit meat was roasted, Meng Xiaosuo picked up one of the hind legs and devoured it hungrily. The delicious oil dripped from the corner of his mouth, but the thick veil had already been thrown aside.After eating and drinking, she hiccupped in satisfaction, and then she remembered that she still didn't know the name of this little boy, and asked casually, "What's your name? Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in getting to know you, I just don't want to keep shouting You 'hello'."

The boy was not angry when he heard this, and said, "My name is Gu Zhiyuan."

"My name is Meng Xiaosuo, and I am Aunt Zhao's distant niece." Meng Xiaosuo reported her family name, although the family name was false and her name was half-truth.Her name in this other world is Meng Qianxin, and Meng Xiaosuo was her name before time travel.

"By the way, was Aunt Zhao rescued?" Gu Zhiyuan showed concern.

Looking at his handsome and menacing face, Meng Xiaosuo swallowed back the words "save me" abruptly, and said, "Nowadays, the officers and soldiers are arrogant and unreasonable, but saving people will put themselves in it instead."

"Well, you're a frail woman, it's better to avoid it." Gu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and said nonsense, and said it very smoothly, "By the way, who is the magistrate here, maybe I can help a little."

You are living here, and you don't even have money to spend. If you are really a big shot, why don't you help yourself first?Meng Xiaocom didn't hold much hope, and said casually: "The magistrate's surname is Duan, and his name is Tai."

"Duan Tai?" Gu Zhiyuan showed joy, and threw the rabbit bone in his hand into the fire, and the flames shot up immediately, "Is this man named Duan Tai demoted from the capital a few years ago? He has some friendship."

"Really." Meng Xiaosuo didn't look surprised, and thought to himself, it's better that Gu Zhiyuan can't save Aunt Zhao, and that Duan Tai, it's better to be a stupid official, and directly sentence Aunt Zhao's family to beheaded at the Meridian Gate. Come, you can attract the third prince Yin Yichan, that is, Yun Feitian.He was a chivalrous man who would never allow innocent people to die because of him.Of course, his family was an exception, and even if he wanted to save it, he was powerless.

Just when she was racking her brains to think of how to stop Gu Zhiyuan from speaking for Aunt Zhao's family, Gu Zhiyuan who was sitting by the side suddenly started talking to himself: "That Duan Tai was demoted to the office because of my father." It’s been a few years, and I don’t know if I still have resentment in this barren mountain. I think he probably won’t, I heard that he is not a small-hearted person.”

"What kind of official was Duan Tai before?" Meng Xiaocom asked curiously, rolling his eyes.

"Minister of the Ministry of Officials." Gu Zhiyuan said.

"How many grades?" Meng Xiaocom asked again.

"The fourth grade. What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Gu Zhiyuan showed doubts.

Meng Xiaoshu waved her hands again and again: "No, there's nothing wrong with it, just go and intercede for them, it will definitely work."

That's what I said, but I couldn't stop laughing in my heart - the dignified fourth-rank official minister, because of your father, has become a ninth-rank sesame official in this poor country, he doesn't hate your whole family, I, Meng Xiaosuo, will follow you Surname Gu.

Seeing that she said it worked, Gu Zhiyuan nodded and stood up, heading towards the yamen.

Seeing that the idlers finally receded, Meng Xiaoshu walked to the chained pheasants and hares, and took out the Linglong pendant hanging on his chest.Before crossing, the pendant was milky white with uneven color, giving people a sense of turbidity.Now it is crystal clear and transparent, without any impurities.

Squeeze the Linglong pendant tightly, close your eyes, suddenly lighten up, and you have already entered the Linglong space.

The time of the space is synchronized with the outside world, and it is dawn at this time, the sky is blue and white clouds, the sun is shining brightly, and there is a breeze blowing from time to time, which makes people feel refreshed.Under the feet, three pheasants and four hares poked their heads together, seeming to be surprised by the existence of this space.

Anything within half a meter away from him can be brought here if he wants to. Meng Xiaosuo only discovered this a few days ago.

After shutting the pheasant and hare into the fence that had been prepared, she stretched herself and felt very satisfied.If you catch some prey and exchange some money, you can buy an ax and chop some firewood, and build a small wooden house. You don't have to sleep in a cave, let alone live with Aunt Zhao's family.

By the way, Aunt Zhao!
I don't know if Gu Zhiyuan has arrived at the yamen. If he really went in to intercede for Aunt Zhao's family, he might be beaten up by the resentful Duan Tai. In this way, wouldn't he be guilty of a serious crime?Meng Xiaocom's heart trembled, he left the Linglong space, and hurried towards the Yamen.
