Chapter 23 Chapter 22

A shooting star flashed across the night sky, and I silently made a wish in my heart, hoping that I could take revenge smoothly and leave this original home with Jinxiu. If I really finished my revenge and left the Yuan family with Jinxiu, would I still be able to see Feijue again?Thinking of Feijue, my heart ached. Lu Yuan, who was excitedly watching me demonstrate the bead crossbow, suddenly looked at Jinxiu fixedly, as if seeing an evil spirit, his burned face twisted, he jumped to the midfield, and stretched out his hand full of egg knots , pointing at Jinxiu tremblingly and hissing: "You...you...you are that purple-eyed devil. All the women in our village, even babies who are still in their infancy, you evil ghost, take your life..."

He rushed towards Jinxiu suddenly, which was beyond the expectation of everyone present. Qiao Wan had already kicked him over, and hit thirteen acupoints like lightning, and said with a sneer, "You dirty prick, don't you?" Matching Miss Jin? Tell me, who instructed you to come here to assassinate?" Lu Yuan was spitting blood on the ground, his eyes fixed on Jinxiu: "It's you, you purple-eyed devil, even if you turn into ashes, I won't admit it wrong." Jinxiu's expression remained unchanged, she drank the wine slowly, and smiled lightly: "You said that I was the murderer who killed your family, so tell me when, where and why I went to your house to kill people?"

Lu Yuan was eating dust in his mouth, but blood and tears flowed from his eyes: "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. Everyone in our Lujia Village is a skilled craftsman, just because you want us to make a thousand lovesickness locks for you. Only you have the key, so at the end of last year, after I handed you the lock and key, I killed all the people in Lujia Village, Cangzhou." "Then you can see what the murderer looks like?" "You wear a mask, but I can see your purple pupils for real." I was startled, looked at Jinxiu, and Jinxiu just said to Qiao Wan: "Master Qiao, do you remember what we were doing at the end of last year?"

Qiao Wan respectfully replied: "Miss, at the end of last year, three thousand soldiers from my army rushed into the Sima Gate to kill Zhang's rebels and help the country. Where can we find the barren land of Cangzhou?" Jinxiu shrugged her shoulders, drank the fine wine in the glass, and said with a contemptuous smile: "I am not the only one with purple pupils in the world, you have never heard of the Dali Duan family, one of the four famous princes in the world, Ziyue Ziyue is also born with a pair of purple pupils, Most people in the Western Regions have purple pupils and blue eyes, I think you have mistaken people, you are ugly."

At this time Wei Hu ran out and knelt down anxiously: "Please spare Lu Yuan, the third master, he is also eager for revenge, so he ran into Miss Jin." Qiao Wan snorted and said, "Master Hou has an order. Anyone who dares to disrespect Miss Jin will be killed without mercy." Jinxiu poured her own drink there, with a slight smile on her lips, as if everything had nothing to do with her, my heart ached for a moment, my sister, what did you go through to be so indifferent to the pain clear it? At this time, Yuan Fei, who had been silent all this time, spoke coldly and cut off his tongue.

I was startled, I knew this was the lightest punishment for Lu Yuan, I didn't kill him just because he was a skillful craftsman and was worth using, so I walked down and poured a glass of wine for Yuan Feibai with a smile: " Third Master, today is Qixi Festival, we are comparing ingenuity, not killing people and cutting their tongues, why don't we just look at Qi Niangniang and spare Lu Zhuang! Jinxiu, what do you think?" I walked over again and poured a cup for Jinxiu. She raised her head and took a deep look at me, then took it and said with a smile: "My sister is always kind-hearted." She looked at Qiao Wan: "Hurry up and let this ugly monster go!"

Qiao Wan said: "But girl, this guy is so fierce, let the tiger go back to the mountain, how about killing the girl again?" Jin Xiu said coldly: "You really talk more and more now." Qiao Wan immediately let Lu Yuan go, and Wei Hu quickly stepped forward to thank Miss Shengjin and Mr. Bai, and after giving me a grateful look, he secretly tapped Lu Yuan's dumb acupoint, and dragged him down. I just heard Jinxiu look at me and say: "It's really disappointing, but tonight, on Chinese Valentine's Day, I heard that the night market in Xi'an is open, I wonder if the third master can let my sister and Xiao Wuyi go for a visit with Jinxiu, I will definitely be there within an hour. return!"

I looked at Yuan Feibai with a happy face, and he looked at me for a while, nodded and said: "Then there are Miss Laojin and Qiao Zhuangshi, Suhui, you must follow the girl." Suhui made a promise of joy, and I couldn't help walking forward excitedly, holding Jinxiu's hand, she trembled slightly, and finally shook mine back. Thousands of lights in the night market illuminate the green clouds, and there are many people with red sleeves in high-rise buildings. Shuimen is bustling with evening tea merchants, and bridge city is full of drinkers all night. Originally, the city of Xi'an was closed as soon as the sun set, and night bans were imposed in the city. Even burning candles and lanterns was also restricted. Anyone who violated the rules would be punished.However, the Xi’an night market is in full bloom during the Qixi Festival. For me, being accompanied by Jinxiu is like a cup of nectar, which is very comfortable. Here, I can’t hear Ziyuan’s scolding, and I can’t see Guoerren in angry horse armor. , I can't find Zhu Yizi's wife, I, Jinxiu, Biying, Song Minglei and Suhui, followed by Qiao Wan with a cold face, strolling freely and freely in the night market like a fish swimming in spring water .

A line of groups and shops, like spring flowers, are competing to bloom together, and no one is far behind. The bosses and shopkeepers all show courteous smiles to customers. Send the fragrance again. The open space was full of teenagers competing in kites, bicycles, and medicine lines. They looked up at the night sky and admired the brilliant fireworks in the night sky in history. The Taiping car set off from the city, took the night, and walked slowly and steadily to the embankment to deliver goods for the ships that will sail tomorrow. The fresh fruits compete for beauty on the bed, and they look different under the candlelight. We gathered in front of a pile of peaches, picking and choosing. I picked the biggest and reddest one for Jinxiu, and Jinxiu happily took it. , It seems to go back to the one who always loved to follow me to beg for food when I was a child. Of course, this time it was all paid by Song Minglei.

Time seems to have slowed down surprisingly suddenly. The few of us, with gum in our mouths, gnawed on peaches, strolled and watched, appraised carefully, and leisurely enjoyed the indescribable splendor and endless elegance. . When I came to Xuanwu Street, there were a lot of medical shops: Jinzi Medical Officer's Pharmacy, Du Jingou's, Cao's Dusheng Yaozi, Bai Langzhong's pediatrics, Ren's obstetrics... These shops all have unique trademark signs. We were laughing at the image of a strong man holding a fork hook and a black lacquered wooden pig in Du Jingou's house as a mark, when we suddenly found that the shop selling mouth and throat medicine was actually on the shop front. It is decorated with a copy of the picture of Shenglian Duck Opera painted by Yuan Feibai last time. Ailian said that the inscription is my crooked name of Hua Mujin. But secretly complaining, didn't Yuan Feibai promise me to give me this painting?Why did it spread again, but Jinxiu's face suddenly pulled down, and she gave me a cold look: "What a song Ailian said, congratulations sister, you can become famous all over the world with the third master."

Just as I was about to defend myself, I came to the Beishan Tea House in front of me. A "fairy cave" and a "fairy bridge" were specially built to attract ladies and gentlemen to come here for night tours and tea. Jinxiu yelled that she was thirsty, and left regardless Going in, Qiao Wan immediately followed behind Zhang Luo, Biying came over and said softly: "Mujin, don't worry, she is still a child." I nodded with a wry smile, and entered the tea house with them. After entering the fairy cave, an elderly "grandmother ordering tea" wears five golden flowers on her head, but the old lady wants to put on a pretty face, which makes people laugh. She sings and sells fragrant tea, While singing, knocking on the lamp, shaking the heads and clapping the board, it was well-organized, well-proportioned, and very pleasant, so we ordered a pot of Bilongchun for her, and after a short rest, the mother-in-law looked at Biying and said: "The girl is so beautiful, I will be able to marry a good husband in the future." Biying's face immediately turned red, and she couldn't help but glance at Song Minglei, I tried to talk to Jinxiu, but she only politely pulled Biying to talk to Song Minglei, and ignored me again, Little girl film. After a while, we came out of the teahouse and came to the famous Panlou Night Market. It was said that there were more than a hundred kinds of counterfeit goods sold in Panlou, and they invaded several squares. However, the citizens of Xi’an still flocked to the night market every night. As a result, cars and horses cannot pass through, and people cannot come out when they enter, so I bought Jinxiu, Biying and I a black-faced Kunlun slave mask to play with, and Jinxiu's complexion was slightly uniform. In the middle of the night, when I came to the Fengyi Tower on the bank of the Weihe River, a painting boat berthed to the shore. The nobleman in bright clothes, with a dozen or so concubines, climbed the building for a carnival, singing and dancing girls, singing and dancing, for a while, there was a lot of noise. Silk orchestral music, the sweet voice of warbler is uploaded from the boat to the shore, making people forget that it is late at night... We played all the way and came to Zhuque Street again. In my image, the image of the fortune-telling man should be square, but on Zhuque Street, the fortune-telling signs are all such as "Xishan Goddess", "Peach Blossoms in March", There are even those who claim to be "five-stars": Yuhu five-stars, Caochuang five-stars, Shen Nantian five-stars, Yexiang five-stars, etc., and some fortune tellers even sang "one mu of land, two Cows, wives and children are hot", or the tune of "when the fortune comes, buy farmland and marry a wife". I couldn't help laughing out loud, Jinxiu took a look at me, then went straight to a scholar who sells poetry and essays, and asked him to write a quatrain with the title "Spray" and rhyme with red letters. With a beautiful glance, amazement flashed in his eyes, and he happily wrote: The autumn water of a river soaks the cold sky, and the fishing flute plays the evening wind for no reason. Who will break Wanlibo's heart?Shattered red in the shadow of the setting sun. We were all taken aback. We didn't expect there to be such a master of poetry in this market. He priced 30 verses for each song there, and fined 15 verses for stopping writing and ink. At this time, a fat middle-aged man came over, dressed richly, with a melancholy expression, and said that he was going to make a coffin, and asked the scholar to write a poem on it, and the scholar wrote without even touching ink: The Zi people cut off the elephant pattern shirt and made a letter to change the bones of the gods. Chu Xiangming window for three hundred days, this time I will be willing to withdraw my heart. At this time, a woman came over and took the white fan as the title. The scholar wanted to raise his pen, but the woman asked to use the red letter as the rhyme. He wrote without thinking: Always in the hands of a beautiful woman, waiting for the bright moon to move and the wind. Sometimes he half-covers his shameful face, revealing a little rouge and a little red. Song Minglei smiled slightly, took out a piece of Luyan note paper and gave it to him, without saying a word, the scholar looked at Song Minglei, pondered for a while, and wrote on the paper: Six or seven leaf reeds in the autumn water, two or three geese by the sunset. The blue sky is unobstructed for thousands of miles, breaking through the cold pond with a touch of smoke. We were amazed that selling poetry requires a keen talent, which cannot be achieved without long-term training, and the poems of this young scholar are refreshing. We couldn't help but ask the scholar's name, and the scholar smiled at us gracefully, Two lovely dimples appeared on both cheeks and said: "Xiaosheng's surname is the same as Fang, and his style name is Zhongshu." Let go?Why is the name so familiar? Song Minglei paid a tael of silver, which was much more than what he should have been paid. The scholar was about to decline with a smile, when suddenly a pair of dragon dancers came to the street. With the sound of shouting, the crowd became excited, and people crowded towards the dragon dancer. Wu, that dragon dance rushed over with the huge crowd, and Jinxiu, Song Minglei, I and they dispersed in a sudden. I held my Kunlun slave mask in my hand, and called Jinxiu's name everywhere, but the crowd was too crowded, and I kept being pushed into the distance, let alone Jinxiu's white shadow. After a while, the dragon dance team seemed to be over Now, fireworks started to be set off by the riverside, and people rushed to the riverside, and I was pushed to the bank by the crowd. Under the fireworks, I faintly saw a slender white shadow, and when I walked over, the white shadow was leaning towards me Turning my head, I was wearing the same Kunlun slave mask as I was holding on my face, and my pair of purple pupils shone even brighter under the brilliant flames. I was overjoyed, walked up to her, and held her hand tightly, fearing Then get separated from her: "Why did you come here alone, so that my sister can find it easily, what about the second brother and the others? Did you get separated from them too?..." I chattered, but she just silently let me lead her hand and didn't answer me, probably still angry with me.I sighed secretly in my heart, the crowd rushed towards the river, the market seemed much empty, I dragged Jinxiu to an alley, her hands were as cold as ice, I rubbed her hands for her, and said distressedly: " You see, I told you to come out and wear more clothes, but I didn’t listen, you’re so old, and you still don’t know how to take care of yourself.” She looked at me coldly and didn't answer. I was a little discouraged, but when I thought of her suffering, my heart ached again: "I know you hate my sister for being incompetent, but you know that when she hears you suffer, there is something in your heart. How uncomfortable? My sister wished she could grow a pair of purple eyes for you, so that she could suffer for you. It’s too late to say so now, I know you definitely don’t believe what my sister said, and you won’t forgive her.” Jinxiu has always been taller than me, and she was dressed in white under the moonlight. Tonight, she looked even slimmer and elegant than usual: "Don't listen to those rumors, why is the third master doting on me alone? In his heart, the third master only treats me as the other , just as a shield for his sweetheart, my sister named the Pearl Crossbow Changxiangshou in the hope that he could reunite with his sweetheart as soon as possible and stay together forever, so that my sister can live a free life..." I looked at her, with a trace of unknown bitterness in my heart, and tears flowed unknowingly: "My dear sister, if it's really not possible, you and your sister will leave Xi'an together, and we will go to the Western Regions to join our elder brother and forget everything about the original family." Not happy, let's start life again, okay? Even if my sister is gone one day, and you leave the right and wrong nest of Yuanjia, with the protection of your elder brother, you will not be hurt again." I looked at her with enthusiasm, but she stared at me silently, there was still no warmth in her eyes. After a while, she slowly reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes. I was overjoyed and held her tightly. The hand that wiped away my tears: "It's so beautiful, have you promised my sister yet?" "Mujin, where are you?" Song Minglei's voice came, I let go of Jinxiu's hand, turned around excitedly and shouted to Song Minglei: "Second brother, we are here!" Song Minglei's figure appeared at the corner, and I was about to pass by. Behind Song Minglei, a beautiful man dressed in white clothes slowly walked out. Her purple pupils were shining, and she was looking forward and looking graceful. She held a Kunlun slave mask in her hand. He said impatiently: "Second brother and I have been looking for you for a long time, where did you go?" In an instant, my hairs stood on end one by one. Did I see a ghost just now? In front of me was the beautiful purple pupil, so who was the purple pupil just now? When I looked back, there was no one in the dark alley behind me, only the coldness of that person seemed to remain in my hands.
