Traveling with a female companion

"You're looking for junior sister, and I'm saving the weak girl. We all go our separate ways." Song Xiaocheng muttered, packed her money bag, and left the restaurant for Jinxi Town.

After walking for several hours until evening, the sun was setting and the clouds were fading. When she reached the entrance of the town, where there were also scattered shops, she came to a tea shop and asked for a bowl of tea and some dry food.Xiao Er was taken aback when he saw her: "Girl, are you going to town?"

Song Xiaocheng nodded, Xiaoer grinned awkwardly, and just about to say something, another person patted him: "You're out of luck, go to work." He didn't dare to say anything more.

Song Xiaocheng naturally knew that anyone who disobeyed Hu Daxian would be in bad luck, and no one would take the initiative to remind her.She observed while eating, and heard that this is a wealthy town, but the people who come and go can't see any style, they are all men and aunts, there is no young woman, and they are very careful when talking to each other, and they don't have the sense of freedom to live and work in peace.Passers-by noticed Song Xiaocheng, some of them were gloating, while others were very anxious and wanted to say something to her but didn't dare.Song Xiaocheng took care of her own food, and these people were just ordinary people, so it was understandable not to remind her.

She thought that a woman's dress was ostentatious, so after eating, she sneaked around behind the tea shop. The washed clothes were hung between two trees. She picked out a shopkeeper's gray robe and a straw hat, and took advantage of the darkening night , tear it off and take it away.Put it on where no one is around,

The robe was a bit too big and nondescript. She buttoned the straw hat and flicked the sleeve robe, which seemed awkward no matter how you looked at it, so let's just make do with it.

Song Xiaocheng followed the people in and out, and sneaked into Jinxi Town.At night, the shops on both sides of the street lit up lanterns, and she thought about going to the altar of Hu Daxian in the center of the town first.The more you walk to the center, the more people there are, the brighter it is. From a distance, you can see a circle of giant candle oil lamps, which illuminate the altar like daylight. There are probably people buzzing and it is very lively, as if there is some activity going on.

Song Xiaocheng also squeezed into the crowd to watch, and she noticed that most of the bustling crowd were men, or aunts and aunts, and there were no young women like the situation in Zhenkou.She tried her best to find her sight among the crowd, and it was even more strange to see that there were four slim girls standing in front of the altar, all of them frowning.

A short red-clothed boy came out to keep everyone quiet. He was Hu Daxian's right-hand man, and he was called Hu Sandan. On a good day for Ping Zhong to choose, the girls from Zhao Qiansun and Li's four families are the most blessed, and one of them will become the wife of the Great Immortal, this is a good fortune to be honored and honored!"

"Okay!" The crowd started booing, and Song Xiaocheng cursed in her heart: What kind of shit is Hu Daxian, who has the face to pick his daughter out of the common people, really thinks he is the emperor?I heard from the girls who escaped that within two months, those girls all died violently for no reason. Does this immortal have any perverted hobbies?She looked around to see who Hu Daxian was, but this guy was so arrogant that he was not there. Hu Sandan pretended to let God decide which girl would be blessed, and sent him to Daxian's villa that night.

The crowd was bustling with excitement, and the common people came up with ideas in a hurry. Some said that the girl from the Zhao family had fair skin, and some said that the girl from the Li family had a good figure... Song Xiaocheng was a little confused. Don't you feel bad that you didn't choose your daughter?She carefully looked at their frenzied expressions, and suddenly found that an old man was yelling at first, and then he took a breath, as if he was half-tired, lowered his head and wiped his eyes, raised his head and continued to shout: "Who chose Hu Daxian?" , that is a blessing from heaven!"

Song Xiaocheng observed carefully again, not only the old man was like this, but also many other people, all of them looked excited, but their brows and eyes showed a faint unbearable, on the surface they seemed to be Hu Daxian's fans, but in fact... Is it just pretending to be afraid of bad luck?

The magic stick is harmful, Song Xiaocheng sighed lightly, and someone beside her gave her a push: "Little brother, you can't frown here!" Song Xiaocheng bit her lip, let's just make do with it, she followed the common people Hands, booing, but she couldn't laugh at it.

The young man in red in front of the altar saw that the atmosphere was in place, waved to silence everyone, and asked someone to send out a box with a hole dug out like a lottery box.There are three white balls and one red ball inside, and the one who draws the red ball is the chosen lady.The box was delivered to the four girls. They were all young and beautiful but frowning. Hu Sandan asked them to reach into the box to choose, but they were not allowed to open it first.

The four girls finished the selection nervously, and the people waited with bated breath for the result.Song Xiaocheng saw that there seemed to be the girls' families in the front row, they were more nervous than anyone else, but they couldn't offend Hu Daxian, it was really embarrassing and painful.

"Girls, let's see which one of you is lucky enough to become the wife of the Great Immortal!" Hu Sandan shouted loudly, and the four girls stretched out their hands in the middle, three white and one red, Miss Qian was selected. With the sound of "Ou", the family members of the other three families stepped forward to take back their daughters as if they had let go of their burdens. The three girls also cried out because of being overly nervous.Only the Qian family couldn't help crying, and the girl's father begged repeatedly, and a few servants stepped forward to beat them: "You old bastard, your daughter has become the wife of a great fairy, are you not satisfied?"

Master Qian sobbed, saying that he didn't want his daughter to die, and Hu Sandan spat: "Hey, what the hell is going to die, your daughter will go to heaven to become a fairy, you have been blessed for several lifetimes to get a fairy girl Why don’t you hurry up and thank the Great Immortal for your kindness.” Mr. Qian really didn’t want to thank him, his legs and feet went limp and he passed out, and his family shouted at him to help him aside. Miss Qian cried and wanted to find her father, but was caught by the servants. Stop him, and ask eight people to carry it up the mountain in a sedan chair, bathe in fragrant soup and prepare to serve Hu Daxian.

This is the end of the farce for Daxian to choose his wife.The people dispersed one after another, Song Xiaocheng observed those bow-legged young men in red clothes, all of them had sharp mouths and thin cheeks, they looked cunning and not good people, as expected of a red-haired fox.That great fairy is a human being. I don't know how he managed so many foxes. She bit her lip, and suddenly saw Hu Sandan staring at her gloomyly. She quickly pushed down her straw hat and followed the crowd to disperse.

She hid behind the shop and watched the servants push the weeping Miss Qian into the sedan chair, and the eight of them lifted up with a whoosh, and they were about to go to the mountain villa in a mighty manner.Miss Qian was crying so badly that she opened the sedan chair curtain to call for her parents, and the family of Master Qian had no choice but to cry from a distance.

After they left, Song Xiaocheng wanted to follow up to find out what happened, but she was still unclear about something, so she went to Master Qian's family and asked them why they didn't leave.After some comfort and questioning, Mrs. Qian was supported by the old woman to wipe away her tears, saying that decades of family business and ancestral graves were all here, and she was really reluctant to move away. Originally, they stipulated that they had selected a girl, and they could let her stay at home for another night. The next day I went to the villa again, but because the daughter of the Wang family was selected last time, the Wang family ran away overnight. Hu Daxian became angry and asked to serve on the night of the selection on the spot.Madam Qian cried and said that if she could wait one more night, she could find someone to send her daughter away secretly, and repeatedly scolded the Wang family for their crimes.

Song Xiaocheng felt very uncomfortable hearing that, how could she scold them, she should scold that damn Hu Daxian.She asked them what would happen if they disobeyed the Great Immortal.The Qian family said that it would be inexplicably unlucky, and the old lady answered: "Old Wu, the cook in our house, always scolds the Great Immortal, and he refuses to come when we come to pay tribute. He was walking on the road that day, and for some reason he fell violently. , fell two front teeth, he said someone pushed him from behind, but when he turned around, there was no sign of a ghost, do you think he saw a living ghost?"

Song Xiaocheng nodded, it was really weird.She asked again, can the girl sent up go back to her natal family to visit her relatives?Mrs. Qian cried and said that it was impossible, all the girls went to the villa, and they would surely die in two months. Hu Daxian claimed that they would be blessed to ascend to heaven and become fairies, and in the future the family would shine brightly and have endless blessings.But Mrs. Qian didn't want these nonsense, she cried and sobbed in a low voice: Her poor daughter will never see her again in this life...

Song Xiaocheng folded her arms, touched her chin, wondering what the hell this Hu Daxian was, and she couldn't stay longer, so she had to follow Hu Sandan and the boy in red to the villa, thanked the Qian family and left.She originally wanted to comfort Mrs. Qian who was crying so badly that she could try to rescue her daughter, so she should not give people unnecessary hopes, and go and see the situation before talking.

It was dark and the moon was rising.Song Xiaocheng quietly followed the team of red-clothed boys, Hu Sandan walked in the front, two people carried lanterns to clear the way, eight people carried a big sedan chair, no one spoke and chatted, and walked steadily up the mountain road.After walking for half an hour, the wide road gradually became steeper, and their speed became faster and faster.

The trees were dense and the rocks overlapped. It was inconvenient for Song Xiaocheng to wear a straw hat. She followed cautiously, but fortunately none of the boys looked back.

After walking for half an hour, they stopped at a cliff.Song Xiaocheng was startled, and quickly hid behind the lush trees.But they didn't notice anyone following them. Hu Sandan waved his hand and blew a long and loud whistle, which lasted for about half a minute.

"Crash!" In the night, a suspension bridge was put down opposite, connecting two rocky cliffs with a bang, and the dust was flying.The boys repacked and lifted the sedan chair, and walked across the suspension bridge in silence. When they arrived, the suspension bridge was closed again with a "crash", as if nothing had happened.

It was hard to see clearly in the night, Song Xiaocheng waited for a while, and then went to the cliff to wait and see. There was a mountain villa on the opposite rocky cliff, surrounded by a wall, and the buildings were scattered. One of the buildings was brightly lit. The bottom looks exquisite and gorgeous, just like the happy place of a local emperor.

The distance between the two rocky cliffs is tens of zhang, ordinary people will definitely not be able to cross it, even if the girl from the villa escapes, she will not be able to cross this cliff.It was dark and it was hard to see how deep it was. Song Xiaocheng kicked, and the stones fell down. After a while, the sound of stones falling into the water was heard in the dark.

Song Xiaocheng looked anxiously at the mountain villa far away, even if she could jump on the roof, it would take some strength to do it, in such a dark night, she couldn't see her feet clearly, if she stepped on the air, wouldn't she fall into the abyss ?What to do, what to do, she suddenly remembered that loud whistle that Hu Sandan blew just now, it should be the signal for the opposite side to put down the suspension bridge, but she couldn't blow it.

The night wind was blowing, and Song Xiaocheng couldn't help feeling chills. She wrapped her loose shopkeeper's robe tightly, and suddenly a soft "hehehe" laughter came from behind her, and she was trembling all over. After being slapped hard, she staggered towards the empty cliff with an "ouch".
