Li Ji opened his eyes wide and looked at everything outside the window. The snow was falling and the cold wind was biting. This was his first trip away. He was covered with an old quilt and there were patchworks everywhere.

Where the threads have leaked, you can see that they are all tattered clothes, and the original cotton has turned dark yellow, and its original appearance cannot be seen, and it also exudes a musty smell.

Next to him and next to him was his brother Li Zhu. Obviously, this old quilt was not very warm, but it was the best that the family could give them. Li Zhu had already fallen into a deep sleep, shaking his head.

The cry of one.

The person driving the carriage was an elder in their village. Li Ji didn't know his name. He only knew that everyone called him Uncle Han. This carriage also belonged to him. It was said that he used to run horse racing with a wealthy family in the city.

, this carriage was also given to him by his master when he returned home from time to time. It was always precious. If there hadn't been a scholar in the village who had to go to the province to take the exam, he wouldn't have made the trip.

"Uncle Han, how long do we have to go? It's been several days. We have to rush."

Old Uncle Han looked back at Li Ji who had opened the curtain and had a childish look on his face. He couldn't help but smile and replied: "If you can be as successful as your brother in the future, I will drag you to Taiyuan Mansion alone again."

"

"It's so far away. I wouldn't come here. My buttocks are shaking and falling apart." After saying that, Li Ji lowered the curtain and got back in.

Old Uncle Han smiled and shook his head. Their village had only produced two scholars in so many years. The rest had either been farmers all their lives or worked like him all their lives.

In the cold wind, old Uncle Han's beard was covered with ice scum, and his eyes covered by the rock cap were cloudy as he drove his horse on the official road.

In the evening, Uncle Han found a place to stop the car. He opened the curtain and saw that the two children were fast asleep. When the cold entered, the two of them squeezed and turned over. They smiled.

, put down the curtain, fetched some water, lit a fire, and prepared the meal.

The water in the pot was steaming and almost boiling. Old Uncle Han was also tired. He folded his hands and leaned against the fire for a nap, waiting for the meal to be ready.

Li Ji, who was sleeping soundly, had sweet dreams. He dreamed that he had eaten the pig head meat that he had seen once before. It was at the ancestor worship meeting last year. He dreamed that his home was magnificent and he could not use his little

His mind imagined that he was dreaming...

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and sounded particularly loud on the icy ground. Old Uncle Han, who had not slept to death, woke up and saw a person standing by the fire at a glance.

"grown ups?"

Old Uncle Han saw that the person opposite him was dressed in an extraordinary way and was obviously different from them, so he asked tentatively.

The other party waved his hand and asked in a low voice: "Your child?"

Old Uncle Han was shocked. He didn't know when the other party opened the car curtain, nor when the other party arrived in front of him. But after all, he had seen a lot of the world. He swallowed a mouthful, looked at the other party, and clicked.

nod.

However, the man shook his head and laughed. The laughter was very small, as if he was afraid of waking up the two people in the carriage. He looked at Old Uncle Han and said, "No, you are not. If you were, you would not hesitate.

.”

Old Uncle Han looked at the other party warily, "Sir, what exactly do you want to do?"

Shaking his head with a chuckle, the man said, "You don't have to be so nervous. This has nothing to do with you."

Old Uncle Han narrowed his eyes slightly, but he never thought that the other party didn't want to pay attention to him at all. His eyes glanced towards the car from time to time. Seeing that he stopped talking, Old Uncle Han's heart was spinning crazily. He had never seen such a person before.

In the ice and snow, he only wore white clothes, and he was not frozen at all. At this time, Old Uncle Han carefully observed the man in front of him. He seemed to be young, but Mr. Shan felt that he was gloomy, lifeless, and not outstanding in appearance.

He looked like an ordinary person, but Old Uncle Han couldn't see clearly what was in his eyes, as if everything around him couldn't see. But this kind of person should be a big shot only in Taiyuan Prefecture in the distance.

How could it appear in such a remote place, at the end of the official road, outside a small town.

"Let me ask you, are the two people here brothers?"

Old Uncle Han didn't answer. He didn't know whether he should tell the person in front of him or what he wanted to do, but his intuition told him that this person was definitely not a kind person.

After a while, the man smiled and said: "It seems so, I don't know which one you want."

"What do you want to do?" After hearing his words, Old Uncle Han couldn't help but ask.

"Mortal, this matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to hurt your life, so it's better to know less."

"I promised their parents to take them to Taiyuan Prefecture to take the exam. They are still young and don't know anything. If there is any grudge, you can go to their parents or even me."

"Look at you. You can't even speak clearly. You can't even explain yourself. I'm neither seeking revenge nor repaying a favor. I'm just here under orders to take one of them away. That's all."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that your mushy thing is so mushy that the smell has come out. Go and have a look." After that, he opened the car curtain and took the two of them out of the old car.

Lifted out of bed.

Suddenly being carried into the cold, Li Ji trembled.

Ling woke up immediately. Li Ji rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes, and looked ahead of him with a heavy sleepiness.

"Hmm...? Why are you awake? Logically speaking, you should still be having your sweet dream, right?" A little confused, but with a smile.

"Qingshi, if you want it, you have to ask us." A light voice came over.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth were filled with chills, the wind was raging, and the originally dim sunlight was shrouded in thick dark clouds, as if the whole world was filled with desolation.

I saw him slowly turning back and looking at the people who came, two men and one woman. The man on the left was tall and thin, with a pair of eagle eyes, and his face was really hateful. Although the other man was ordinary, he had thin skin and tender flesh, and he was carrying a

A big sword.

But the woman in the middle is something you will never forget once you take a look at it. She just stands there, standing barefoot, wearing a fiery red dress, with high hair on the temples, eyebrows as dark as far away, eyes as if they are looking at the water, and her every move is charming.

.The red dress is trailing on the ground, and she is smiling slightly. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is bringing disaster to the country and the people.

Qingshi didn't seem surprised when he saw them. He just smiled, then shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you are here. Fairy Yuxu, why are you also interested in this little guy? However, the head asked me to take him

Go back, I think it's better for you not to get involved, you know, I don't kill women very much, of course, I am very happy now."

The woman named Fairy Yuxu smiled slightly and said: "Of course, the little girl will give you the face of your head Dong, but if you want bluestone, that has to be discussed separately."

Although this sound was ordinary and not loud, it seemed to have a strange magical power. When Li Ji heard it, he felt that the sound penetrated into his bone marrow, and his whole body suddenly softened, with an indescribable feeling.

Heat flowed in my chest.

Qingshi lowered his head slightly and looked at Li Ji, who was holding it in his left hand, with a solemn look in his eyes.

"Fairy, what's wrong with you? At such a young age, if you do this, you won't be afraid..."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Shuiyue only said he wanted someone, not whether it was a dead person or a living person."

Qingshi's face suddenly darkened. He put Li Ji down and put his hand on his chest. A faint light flashed. Li Ji couldn't help but shudder, but the heat dissipated, and his sleepiness also followed.
