Night falls.

No matter old people, adults or children, they all walk towards home.

Cangxue, whose little hand is held by Xue Niang, has a sweet smile between her eyebrows.

From now on, when it gets dark, the girl finally knows where to go, and is no longer a poor lamb who has lost her way.

The little whirlwind wearing a tiger-head hat went straight into Xue Niang's arms, afraid to scare the residents of the town.

When the sky was dim, Cangxue's brows suddenly frowned slightly.

Facing them, Master Qi from the town's school had his hands behind his back, and Zhao Xuan'er followed closely behind Qingyi's butt.

Qingyi's three lacquered pupils swept over lightly.

The little whirlwind's hair stood on end.

Xue Niang was frightened.

Cangxue called sweetly,"Hello, Master."

Qingyi nodded slightly.

The two groups of people passed by each other under the tall archway of the town.

Zhao Xuan'er opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out.

It was clearly saying"your master, my master."’

……

Deep in Wuyi Lane.

At the entrance of Chen's courtyard

"Xueer, have a good rest. I will pick you up at noon tomorrow."

""Okay, Sister Xue."

Little Tornado grabbed a few pieces of silver from his thick hair and threw them to Cang Xue.

"Xue'er, this is the dinner money Sister Feng gave you."

"Eat as much meat and fish as you want, and make yourself fat, like me"

"Don't be reluctant to spend the flowers, Sister Feng will steal more for you tomorrow."

Cang Xue smiled sweetly,"Sister Feng is so kind"

"Sister Xue does the same."

After watching the silhouettes of the snake and the rat disappear into the night, Cangxue pushed open the gate and went back to the house.

Soon, the house, which was as dark as a coffin, was lit up with dim candlelight.

At noon, when buying daily necessities, Xue Niang took Cangxue to eat a large table of dishes, and the girl was still full.

Since she couldn't sleep, she simply boiled a pot of hot water and cleaned and wiped the pots, pans, and furniture several times.

With a creaking sound, Cangxue pushed open the door of the west wing.

Although it was a place for storing sundries, the things that caught the eye, such as hoes, axes, saws, sickles, medicine baskets, etc., were neatly arranged.

Cangxue saw two shoulder poles at a glance, one long and one short.

There were also four buckets, two large and two small.

Cangxue's eyes lit up.

It was really tailor-made.

Picking up the short shoulder pole and putting it on her shoulder to try it out, the girl murmured:"It's a bit short"

"Big Brother is also suffering"

……

About a quarter of an hour later.

Cang Xue took advantage of the bright sunlight to arrive at the Dragon Locking Well in the town.

From a distance, he saw an old man squatting at the foot of the wall holding a straw target.

He was wearing a sheepskin coat and holding a brass pipe, puffing out smoke. He was the old Liutou who sold candied haws in Xijian Lane.

Cang Xue had been in the town for more than 40 days, and he could always see the old man carrying a straw target walking around the streets. He was not a stranger.

"Grandpa, it's getting dark, aren't you going home yet?"

Cang Xue asked as she fetched water.

""Alas~"

The old man sighed and said,"A small yellow earth courtyard and two shabby tile houses, that's not a home, that's a place to sleep."

Cangxue asked curiously,"Then where is your home, Grandpa?"

The old man smiled, revealing a few old teeth that were stained by smoke and crooked,"Grandpa's home is in the sky."

Cangxue smiled politely, only to feel that the old man had eaten a walnut that had been caught by the door.

"Oh my, this is unbelievable!"

The old man suddenly threw away the straw target and trotted to the Dragon Locking Well, his two cloudy eyes staring like copper bells.

Cang Xue glanced at the dusty candied haws on the half-straw target and thought to herself, what a pity!

"Girl, this is incredible."

"You have a bloody and terrifying aura that gushes out from your head and rushes into the sky."

Looking at the old man's solemn expression,

Cang Xue frowned and said,"Grandpa, can you also read faces?"

"I know a little bit."

The old man squatted in front of Cang Xue and slowly stretched out four fingers.

The girl's face changed and she quickly covered her sleeves tightly,"How do you know I have four taels of silver?!"

"No, no."

The old man shook four fingers and said in a deep voice:"Girl, you will experience four life and death disasters in your life."

"Four times... life and death?!"

Cang Xue was stunned.

The old man said solemnly:"Four times of life and death, each one is more dangerous than the last."

"You may die in the first life and death crisis"

"Maybe the second time"

"Or the third time, the fourth time"

"Grandpa doesn't know exactly when he died."

"But what is certain is that a certain life-or-death crisis will definitely take your life."

"And... the first life and death crisis is imminent"

"Girl, believe me!"

Cang Xue slowly opened her mouth and then shouted loudly

"Someone, help! They are eating children!"

The old man was as fast as the wind, carrying a straw target, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

……

The moon was above the treetops.

Cang Xue tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see her adoptive father's face before he died.

And her adoptive mother's body, which had rotted to the point of exposing her bare bones. There were black flies like a sea. There were dense maggots crawling madly among the rotten flesh.

There were rats and crows pecking at the rotten flesh.

As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with random thoughts.

‘That day I drank two sips of wine’

‘When Xiaoyu was dismembered by the soldiers, she should not have been awake yet, right?’

‘Did the soldiers chop off the head first?’

‘If not, how painful it would be for Xiaoyu!’

……

"Sister, how far is Dragon City?"

"Sister, I'm sorry, am I useless?"

"Sister, I want to sleep."

""Sister, can we go home?"

The little brat's voice seemed to echo in her ears.

Cang Xue suddenly sat up, rushed out of the house, rushed out of the courtyard, and rushed straight to Wuyi Lane.

About two quarters of an hour later, the girl came back with a jar of wine in her arms.

She took a white porcelain bowl from the kitchen.

The girl untied the red cloth and poured a full bowl.

Then she picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Soon, the alcohol took over, and Cang Xue stood up, staggering.

The girl fell heavily on the bed as the world spun.

"Finally, I can...sleep~"

The girl slowly closed her eyes.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

……

The next day.

It was about 3:30 pm.

The weather was fine and the sky was clear.

Jingchun School.

During the break, Qingyi hid in the bamboo forest in the backyard to read some books of sages.

The children were in groups of three or five, playing and fighting.

Cangxue squatted under a pear tree, holding a thin branch and writing on the ground.

Footsteps came from far away.

The shadow of a person covered the word"rain" on the ground.

Cangxue looked up and saw Zhao Xuaner's bright little face.

"Cang... Sister Cangxue, who was that beautiful sister yesterday?"

Cangxue lowered her head and continued to practice calligraphy, saying in a cold tone,"No comment."

Zhao Xuaner gritted her teeth, raised her little fist, and hit Cangxue hard several times through the air.

The shadow of the fist fell on the ground, and Cangxue saw it clearly.

"Sister Cangxue, I have no grudge against you."

"Why do you always look so cold to me?"

Cang Xue erased the word 'Yu' and continued to practice the word 'Cang'.

Her voice was free of emotion and she said,"No comment."

""Crack~"

Zhao Xuan'er's teeth were clenching.

The angry girl suddenly pushed Cang Xue to the ground.

Then she pressed on him fiercely.
