Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Huo Lan woke up in severe pain, feeling that something was pressing heavily on him.
"Cough..." Her face was very hot, her hands were strangled tightly around her neck, her limbs were heavy and she couldn't lift them up, and the strong dizziness made Huo Lan almost vomit.
"Let go, you're going to strangle him!" A shrill female voice said.
"Don't pull me, let go! I want this brat to know how powerful he is today!"
"Brother Meng, let's forget it, we have already taught this kid..."
"Pinching again will kill someone! I, let's go..."
……
There was a buzzing sound.
Did you encounter bandits... You can't die... Miao Qing, you can't let them destroy Miao Qing's tomb...
Thinking of Yun Miaoqing, Huo Lan's sanity suddenly came to his senses.This is not the first time she has encountered rogues, ever since she escaped with Yun Miaoqing, she has never seen robbers, rogues, or soldiers on the road.
She struggled to raise her hand and pulled the arm of the man on her body, sensing her struggle, the man exerted more force, so that the buttocks that were firmly pressed against her legs were lifted a little, so that all the strength could be concentrated on the upper body .
This is the opportunity!
Huo Lan used all her strength to bend her knees and hit the man's crotch. Although she was almost exhausted at this time, even if the blow with all her strength was not heavy, that place was a vital part after all. Aww" screamed, the shadow above her head moved away, and even with her eyes closed, she could still feel the bright and dazzling sunlight.
Is the sun out... Huo Lan shook his head briefly, and quickly got up from the ground.Although she escaped from death just now, it was only temporary, and the crisis has not been completely resolved...
Seeing the situation in front of him clearly, Huo Lan's thoughts froze completely.
In front of her were three and a half boys and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. The boys took a step back in fright when they saw her look over, their faces were terrified, as if they were very afraid of her, and they had pinched her before. The one around her neck was still clutching her crotch and howling and rolling on the ground. When she turned her back up, Huo Lan could see clearly that the man had a fat face that she was very familiar with.
Wang Cuicui, Qu Meng, and Qu Meng's little followers...these are all people from the same village as her. In the past, Qu Meng made troubles for her a lot, but why are they here...and they look younger!
Looking up from a distance, Daxue and Maoxi Village have all disappeared. Behind these people is a meandering river. There are many houses, and the curling smoke is floating above these houses.
Huo Lan couldn't be more familiar with this scene. This is Liuhe Village, the place where she grew up. She looked down at herself. She was wearing a men's coarse linen shirt covered with layers of patches.
Yes, she used to pretend to be a boy for a long time.
"...I can send you back to the past..." She remembered the mysterious voice, and then looked at the scene in front of her...
"What day is today?" Huo Lan anxiously looked at the person in front of him and asked without caring about the bleeding wound on his body.
Several people looked at each other, one of them swallowed his saliva, and pointed at Huo Lan with a half-step bluff, "What day is it? You, you kid, you got knocked out!"
"What are you talking to him about? Hit him! The three of you are still afraid that one of them will fail, so I will beat him up! It hurts me to death, ouch..." Qu Meng lay on the ground and directed his three followers.
The three looked at each other again, and Wang Cuicui cried "wow" beside him: "You bad guys! If you bully Brother Huo again, I will never pay attention to you again!"
"Hey, Cui Cui, don't, don't..."
The conversation next to his ear gradually turned into an indistinguishable noise again, and Huo Lan couldn't hear anything except his own heartbeat that overwhelmed him.
Riverside... Fighting... In the past, she had fought with Qu Meng and his gang many times, but she was almost strangled to death by Qu Meng only once, and that time...
Huo Lan stiffened her neck and turned back. On the slope behind her, a group of people in sackcloth and filial piety quietly walked along the road. The leader was riding a brown horse, and behind him were six drivers pushing a big coffin.
Behind is a carriage, with white flowers tied on the four corners of the carriage, the wind blows the curtain on the window, half of a plain white finger is exposed from behind the curtain, the owner of the finger raised his arm high, and a string of yellow paper The cut copper coins floated away from the man's fingertips, and flew into the distance with the wind.
"Stop! Who are you?"
When she came to her senses, Huo Lan was already standing by the side of the carriage, and a maid in buns opened her arms and stared round her eyes.
It's ginkgo!Yun Miaoqing's personal maid.Huo Lan remembered that she left Yun's house three years ago, left here, and now she has reappeared, so the people in the car are really, just...
Huo Lan didn't dare to think that she stayed by Yun Miaoqing's side all night yesterday, saw her take her last breath, and buried her together with the villagers, so he would really have a chance to see her again ?
"Hey, I want to ask you something!" Ginkgo saw that the person in front of her ignored her, and muttered in a low voice: "Where did you come from, you are so reckless."
The leader pulled the reins, and the team stopped, but Huo Lan didn't notice it.Her eyes were fixed on the carriage, and she neither dared to rush forward to lift the curtain to see what was going on, nor would she leave to take a second look, her whole body was trembling slightly due to excitement.
"ginkgo."
There was a low call from inside the car, lazy and soft. It was obviously just a slight sound, but it was like a ignited fuse, crackling and burning along Huo Lan's spine, all the way into her mind, and then burst into a flower. Gorgeous fireworks.
The summoned maid glanced at Huo Lan, and returned to the window of the carriage. The white hand protruded out again, the fingertips were a beautiful lotus root pink, gently resting on a small paper bag.
Ginkgo took the paper bag and walked up to Huo Lan.
"Here, take it. My lady has a good heart and doesn't care about you, a wild boy." She glanced around at the children behind Huo Lan who were looking this way eagerly, and then whispered to Huo Lan: "Put it away, don't let someone snatch it away."
"Whose funeral team is riding a big horse, what a grand display!" Seeing that the team had gone far, several people who had been watching from the sidelines gathered around.
"I heard from my uncle that he was a high-ranking official in the capital city. He had a rest in the county town yesterday, and the magistrate came out of the city to greet him in person." Wang Cuicui said softly.
"Speaking of senior officials, I seem to have heard from someone that a few years ago, a new big house was built in the village next door. The owners of the house are mysterious, maybe they are..."
"Come on, I heard people talking nonsense, some high-ranking officials are full of food, and they come to build a house in a place like ours, no matter what happens, they have to be built in the city. Did you see the man on the horse just now? The old man has two scars, so he is not a good person at first glance. If you want me to tell you where the bandit leader came from, he quietly built a house for fear of being captured by the government..." Qu Meng was in pain, cursing come over.
"But how did the magistrate meet the bandit leader..." Wang Cuicui didn't believe it.
Qu Meng couldn't answer, so he glared at Huo Lan, raised his chin and asked, "Hey, what good things did they give you, show it to everyone."
Huo Lan didn't even bother to look at them, and turned around to leave.
"I'm asking you something, are you deaf?" Qu Meng stretched out his hand to grab Huo Lan's arm, Huo Lan dodged sideways, and opened a corner of the paper bag.
"Cake, why, have you ever eaten such a good one?"
When Qu Meng saw something, he wanted to snatch it. The dim sum was a piece of yellow and clear, delicate and translucent, with fine patterns carved on it, which was quite different from the ones they usually ate. Just looking at it was very sweet, but hearing Huo Lan With such a mockery, his competitive spirit came up again.
"Who hasn't eaten it? I don't even look at who I am. My family has a lot of money. It's just this stuff. Every time I go back to the county town, I don't eat less. I get tired of eating it. You, an ignorant poor boy, get it." It's a baby."
Huo Lan knew that this idiot, Qu Meng, would fall for it as soon as he got excited, so he immediately gave him a sneer and left without looking back.
"Hey, you kid doesn't eat the toast and eat the fine wine, it's so fucking annoying." Qu Meng rolled up his sleeves and wanted to shake his fist again.
Wang Cuicui screamed: "Qu Ergou! You have gone too far today, I am really angry!"
"Hey, my dear Cui Cui! Didn't you tell me not to call me by my nickname..."
Someone on the other side of the river shouted for dinner, and the small gang that got together responded one by one, and dispersed to go back to their homes.Huo Lan walked slowly to the river to wash his hands, found a cleaner grass to sit down, and took out a paper bag from his arms.
There were four pieces of pea yellow in the paper bag, and Huo Lan picked up one of them, revealing another flat paper bag where it was originally blocked by the pastry.When she took the bag from Ginkgo, she knew the weight was wrong, and she took it out to see that there were ten copper coins inside.
Ten Wen, not much, was just enough for her to go to a small stall in the town to buy a few steamed buns and eat a bowl of sweet soup.If you want to put others aside, knowing that you got such a small amount of money from a prime minister's daughter, you might be blindfolded, and even spit and curse "stingy", but Huo Lan doesn't think so, she knows very well Because of Yun Miaoqing's personality, the ten cents are worth more than a piece of gold in her eyes.
Such a small amount of money, even if Qu Meng saw it, he would not bother to snatch it from her, even if he really stole it, he would not be too reluctant to fight with others - of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that she and Yun Miaoqing are When meeting each other for the first time.She has already experienced a heart-wrenching loss, and everything Yun Miaoqing owns is extremely precious to her, let alone stealing, even if Qu Meng dared to touch his dog's paw, she would peel off a layer of skin for him No.
The sweet and smooth taste spread from the tip of the tongue, Huo Lan only took a small bite and put it down.This is Yun Miaoqing's favorite pastry, Yun Miaoqing has a cute little obsession in eating it, and she is not willing to give up the things she likes easily.She could almost imagine Yun Miaoqing's appearance when she was wrapping the cake in the car, she must have frowned slightly, picked it up and put it down again, wanted to give it to her but was reluctant, entangled for a long time.
In the end, I got her four dollars.Huo Lan sipped the little bit of sweetness in his mouth, but a little bit of bitterness rose from his heart.At the beginning, she just wanted Yun Miaoqing to come back to life, but seeing Yun Miaoqing alive, she wanted to see her again, and even wanted to talk to her after seeing her, her heart was never satisfied.
Also, how can you be satisfied after meeting such a person?She still remembers the day when she saw Yun Miaoqing for the first time, which was similar to what happened today, the difference was that she had no ability to break free from Qu Hao's hands at that time, and when her mind was blurred, she vaguely heard shouts, and when she opened her eyes again, The man was already standing in front of her against the light.
"Can you still stand up?" The man's hand stretched out to her was so clean, but her own hand was dirty, and the fingers were full of mud from the previous struggle.She hesitated to put her hand on the man's hand, regretted it the moment she touched it, and quickly retracted it. Unexpectedly, the man's reaction was faster than her. Pulled up in the dust.
Huo Lan still remembered the warm touch from the opponent's palm at that time, as well as the gentle expression and picturesque eyebrows of the person in the halo.At that moment, Yun Miaoqing was like a goddess in the nine heavens to her who had been bullied since she was a child, and she overshadowed everything around her.
Xu Shi was too amazing when he first met, but now when he sees her again, even though that person still put his heart into it, not only did he not come to pull him by accident, he even didn't show his face. How can you accept it willingly.
It doesn't matter.Huo Lan put the unfinished pea bag back into his arms and put it away carefully, then got up and patted off the grass clippings on his body.
She must repay the kindness owed to Yun Miaoqing in her previous life. As long as Yun Miaoqing is still alive, there will be many opportunities, and she will be able to go to Yun Miaoqing's side again in a short time.
