Reign of the Phoenix

Murong Yan closed her eyes and she slept for two days. The occasional stunned long eyelashes prove that her life has not ended, she looks lifeless.

Murong Yujing has been lingering in his own dreams and can't walk out. In her dreams, she was a young woman who was called a suckling mother. From the time she remembered, she followed her to kill her. During the escape, the niece was once sold by a trafficker to the old farmer in the mountains to be a daughter-in-law. Later, she was robbed by a mountain thief to the thief's nest. No matter how much bitterness she had eaten, she had been taking her with her, hurting her like her mother, and finally fled with her to escape the thief.

They fled the thief's nest and went to a place called Majiazhuang. The incognito buried his name. Murong 芷 不 does not know what his name is, only know that the baby has been calling her Xiaoling children.

The lactating mother will be able to embroider with one hand and stay in the big family at a glance. With this skill, the maiden supports Xiaolinger and teaches her to read and read. They are in Majiazhuang, and have lived in peace for two years.

The daisy often takes Xiaolinger to the river to wash clothes. It is the most happy and beautiful time of Xiaoling's childhood.

The breast-feeding girl washes her clothes by the river, and the breeze blows across the river, swaying the ripples of the scales. The sun shone softly on the waves, and the swaying glow fell on the breast, and she looked like a fairy in the story. That is the most beautiful picture Xiaoling has ever seen. She wants to call her mother a mother.

Naughty little Linger, after a while with a small foot in the water chasing the shrimp, and then went to the shore of the butterfly. The bridegroom washes her clothes and casts her loving eyes from time to time. The laughter of the two of them floats like a silver bell.

The mother washed the clothes and pulled a bamboo lobster cage from the water. In the shrimp cage that was laid down early, many large and small fish and shrimps came and went. Xiaolinger is very happy to dance, she knows that the breastfeeding girl will give her a good meal tonight.

On the way home, Xiaoling jumped and ran in front. A tall, short, and two blindfolded man suddenly jumped out of the grass. The tall masked man directly held Xiaoling's hand in his hand, hugged Xiaoling's thin neck with a thick arm, threatening the breastfeeding woman with evil: "Hand over the things, or I will pinch the little girl."

The short masked man took the knife and slowly pushed into the mother. The milky girl could have escaped, but she did not run. She slowly retreated and stared at the masked man who held Xiaolinger in horror, thinking about getting out of the way.

The maiden is pretending to be afraid: "Hero, please don't hurt my child, I have some money here, you take it." The tall masked man screamed fiercely: "You don't want to mess with me." A little bit of strength, Xiaoling's pink face, immediately became red, she coughed fiercely.

The **** is afraid that the masked thief will hurt Xiaoling, and anxiously ask them: "I want to hide something you want, put this hoe, I will take you to find." The tall masked man sneered: "Less Playing tricks, believe it or not, I am going to have her little life?" The milky mother does not show weakness: "If you have a little hair, you can't get the drawings. I don't want to get the drawings. I

If you hand it over now, you will not stay alive and let her go, otherwise the fish will die. ”

The tall masked thief was afraid of pressing the mother, and loosened the hand that hung the little Linger. The baby girl blinked at Xiaolinger, and Xiaolinger desperately ran to the village.

Usually the nurse will teach her, do not panic when things happen, be calm and calm. She is a sensible child, she has no time to be afraid, crying, she is desperately running, she is going to call someone to save the mother.

When Xiaolinger moved to save the army, the masked thief had already heard the wind escape. The damper had two knives in her body and fell in a pool of blood. The people carried the **** back to their homes and asked the doctor for treatment. However, because of the excessive blood loss, the doctor also lost her strength and could only shake her head and sigh.

The daisy was dying, she insisted on calling everyone to evade, and she had something to say to Xiaoling.

The niece took out a yellowed paper from her arms and handed it to Xiaolinger. The paper dyed the blood of the mother, and Xiaoling’s heart burst into tears. The mother-in-law uses a weak voice to smack Xiaolinger. In any case, she should save the paper and tell Xiaolinger: "You call Murong condensate, remember that it is the cockroach of Tinglan, the skin is like the condensation of fat. You The mother will come to you one day, your mother is a business... business..." The voice of the mother is getting smaller and smaller, and the head is awkward. Ren Xiaoling’s crying no longer wakes up.

The old Zhou family at the east of the village adopted Xiaoling, a nine-year-old. The masked thief did not close his hand. Several times, he attacked Majiazhuang in the dark and wanted to take away Xiaolinger. They were all stopped by the villagers who heard the news. Among them, the short masked thief was injured by the villagers with a shovel. When he fled, he died on a small road not far from Majiazhuang. Everyone thought that the thief had a lesson and didn't dare to come again.

On a dark night of high winds, a tall masked thief broke into the old Zhou family again, killing a young and old family of five people, loading Xiaoling into a sack and hanging on the horseback all the way to the south. .

To the south is the capital of Huayan, and there are heavy gates on the road. The masked thief did not dare to go through the daytime, hiding in the woods in the mountains, waiting for an opportunity.

The masked thief tied Xiaoling to a tree, holding a big knife in his arms and sitting under another tree. Probably because of the fatigue, he took his boots to the side and sat down and slept. Xiao Linger took the opportunity to carefully observe the appearance of the thief. Although the thief was covered with a face, a knife on his left eyebrow was clearly visible, and there was a meat plaque on the right ear.

Xiaolinger’s anti-tied hand touched a small piece of stone on the ground. She took a small piece of stone and continually cut the rope tied to her hand. It took a lot of effort, and I made several blood holes in my hand and finally broke the rope. Before escaping, Xiaolinger untied the rope of the thief, released the horse, and threw the thief's boots into the valley. She deliberately knocked down a row of grass to the west, applied the blood on her hand to the grass, and then decisively fled in the opposite direction.

She didn't dare to stay and kept running. It was dark, she was sleepy and afraid, fled to the cattle circle of a farmhouse and slept for one night, and then went on the next day.

The thief did not catch up, Xiaoling did not dare to stop. When she is thirsty, she takes a sip of spring water and is hungry.

Go to the land temple to steal supplies and feed the hunger. She didn't know where to go. Like the wood man, she only knew to go forward until she was hungry and cold and fell under a field.

When Xiaolinger woke up, there were a few people around him. They were the villagers of Hetangyu.

The lotus pond is a small town adjacent to Beijing, and the folk customs are simple. The villagers were very enthusiastic. The owner gave Xiaolinger a bowl of hot water, and the west gave Xiaoling a pancake. A peasant woman fed hot water into Xiaoling's mouth and slowly fed her some cake.

The woman said that her family is not rich, and if Xiaoling is willing, she can stay in her house as a child. Xiaoling has no place to go, and she does not know what is a child-raising. People are willing to take her in, and she will naturally not pick and choose.

Xiaoling went back to her house with the woman.

The peasant woman is called Yin Shi. Her man is a butcher. Her temper is very violent, and she often beats Yin’s face.

The butcher saw Yin’s returning a thin girl and shouted: “Are you crazy? There is no extra ration at home, do you bring your mouth back? How far are you to throw me away?”

Xiaoling’s squatting on the ground, pitifully holding the butcher’s leg and begging him: “Uncle, you will take care of me, I will not eat your house, I will do anything. I have been a little girl for the big family. I can do a lot of work.” The butcher pushed away the little girl and said to Yin, “Let’s stay for a while, and after a few days, the body will be strong and sent to the Ge’s home to be a hoe.”

Xiao Linger stayed at the Yin family. She was savvy and sensible, always vying to do some heavy chores. Although it is bitter and tired, it is no longer frozen and hungry.

The Yin family also has two children. By relying on the butcher alone, they kill some animals and send them to the restaurants in the city to make a living. The butcher was originally the industry of the next three abuses. In addition, Huayan had a foreign war every year, and the taxes imposed on the people were also heavy. Therefore, the days of the people were not stable. Meat is a luxury, only the hotel restaurants in the city, large families can afford it. In addition to the red and white weddings, the ordinary people are reluctant to buy meat. Therefore, the business of killing pigs is not a good business to make money. It can only make the family barely mix and drink.

The butcher was fierce and sorrowful. However, the butcher did not play his own children, nor did he beat Xiaolinger. Even when talking to Xiaolinger, it was converted into a gentle tone compared to her own child. After a long time, Xiaoling did not think that he was fierce. Later, I learned that the butcher was playing Yin’s because Yin’s secretly took the money from the family and helped her the younger brother who was idle.

Yin's husband and wife slowly fell in love with the clever Xiaolinger. She did not send her away, but raised her as her own child. Xiao Linger quickly dissolved into this family, and she had a hard and stable nest from the snacks.

One day, Yin’s younger brother was beaten to her home. He pleaded with Yin to give him some money and gambled his debts, crying that the debt mainly cut his hands.

Yin’s anger is not contending, one

While sighing, I cried and said: "It’s a problem to eat at home this year. Where can I still have money to help you pay back debts? You haven’t deceived money from me. I will give it to you. Your brother-in-law will not kill me.”

Yin’s younger brother, Yin Hua, is a ruthless rogue. In the thirties, I am lazy and do not do business. I am only thinking about relying on gambling and making money.

Yin Hua owed a few hundred and two silver coins to the gambling hall last year and was escorted by money. When he was afraid of being killed by the creditors, he sold his wife to the shack and sold his 10-year-old daughter to a family. When he mentioned these things, Yin’s hate to hammer his chest, and he only wanted to send Yin Hua away quickly. He didn’t want to have a relationship with him.

Yin Hua’s eyes turned and stared at Xiao Linger, who was drying the corn in the yard. A pair of thieves slid and turned, not knowing what bad idea was being played? Yin did not want to entangle with him and pushed him out.

The next day, Yin went out early to send pig bones to Ge’s family. In a short while, a young woman came to Yin’s house. She said to Xiaolinger with great anxiety: “Your mother, Yin’s wife, fell on the road, sprained her hamstrings, and couldn’t walk. She invited me to call you. She came back.” Xiaolinger was very anxious. She followed the woman without thinking. When she just went out and turned a corner, she was put a bag on her head, tied her hand and pushed a carriage.

Xiao Linger only used to be the thief who had chased her and her mother. She did not call for help and did not resist. She silently thought about getting away from it. On the evening of the same day, she was taken to Wanhua Pavilion, and the woman sold her to Qin Meixue for one hundred and two silver.
