In the era of war and chaos, disasters and disasters, it is most likely to kill people.

In the 80th year of the Great Xia calendar, Fuzhou, the southernmost part of Great Xia, somehow continued to rain for three months without stopping, Heze lakes, streams and rivers were all filled, causing floods once in a thousand years, countless villages and towns were submerged, and hundreds of millions of people were left homeless.

At this time, it was at the critical juncture of Great Xia to recapture the Jade Dragon Pass, and countless troops were thrown into the Endless Mountain, resulting in the emptiness of the country, and the victims of Fuzhou were all over the wilderness, and there was a complete chaos!

At this time, Shunzhou, which is adjacent to Fuzhou, was still a peaceful scene, and there was no premonition of the coming crisis.

Shunzhou, Jingyang Town.

There is a small mountain range in the middle of Fuzhou and Shunzhou, Jingyang Town is located in the westernmost part of Shunzhou, just at the foot of the mountain range, because of the past to undertake trade between the two states, so it is one of the most prosperous towns within a radius of 100 miles.

It is the scorching heat of June, the southernmost part of the summer is extremely sultry, and often affected by the sea breeze in the South China Sea, the air is full of moisture, the two are superimposed, a little moved, it will be soaked, slimy and extremely uncomfortable, so once the day off, the most popular is the herbal tea shop, the herbal tea is not expensive, and the thirst can be quenched.

At this time, an herbal tea shop in the town was full of people, and the roof made of giant banana leaves unique to the south was built on the top of the head, which sheltered the invasion of the scorching sun, leaving a large shadow, and on the tea table in the shadow, there were old and two young figures.

The old man was wearing a Confucian shirt that was quite common in the south of Great Xia, his sideburns were snow-white, but his face was ruddy, and a wooden hairpin was randomly inserted on top of his hair, and he raised the teapot with his right hand and poured herbal tea for the two little babies in front of him.

The little baby in front of the old man is not very old, one of them has a face carved with pink and jade, extremely exquisite, although it is also a simple cloth clothes, but the faint luxury is implied, so that people dare not look directly, but the brows are slightly wrinkled when drinking tea, and the eyes that are calm as water look a little young and old.

The one on the side is burly, obviously with a tiger's head, but he has a tall figure like an ordinary adult, with a shiny bald head, and the action of drinking water is very gentle, swallowing in small sips.

This trio seems ordinary, but not ordinary.

The three of them didn't speak, listening to the conversation of the people around them.

"Have you heard, it is said that it rained heavily in Fuzhou for three months, flooded all over the sky, and killed countless people. A middle-aged tea guest beside him spoke.

"Isn't it, Fuzhou in the west hasn't been here for a long time, and our porcelain business is getting harder and harder. ”

Another tea guest responded, with a sad voice, Shunzhou porcelain is famous in Daxia, so most people in Jingyang Town are more or less on the side of porcelain, the best place to sell on weekdays is Fuzhou, and now the flood in Fuzhou has suddenly formed a series of chain reactions.

"Shigong, didn't the imperial court send someone to relieve the disaster during the flood in Fuzhou?" the pink-carved little baby put down the tea bowl in her hand and asked with a frown.

"The southernmost part of the South China Sea in Great Xia has always been peaceful, so the garrisons of Fu and Shun are scarce, and it coincides with the decisive battle of Yulong Pass in Endless Mountain, so the troops that can be drawn now are very limited, and when the battle of Yulong Pass is over, the imperial court can go all out to relieve the disaster, but now the top priority is to stop the rain in Fuzhou. ”

The old man put down the tea bowl, and a mellow voice sounded.

"Has Si Tianjian found out the cause of the continuous rain?" Xiaowa continued to ask.

"It's been found out, it's just that the Si Tianjian left behind in these two states is already overwhelmed and can't handle it, so we're here for this matter. ”

Xiaowa nodded, then stopped talking and continued to drink tea.

"Lately, the porcelain shops in the town have been doing bad business, but it's strange that one of them hasn't been affected in the slightest. "Maybe the topic of flooding was too heavy, and the tea guests changed the subject.

"You mean the ugly girl's shop next door to the east side of town?" chimed the young man who knew about it.

"Yes, you said that the luck of the shop is really good, there is a fool next door, the same kiln produces porcelain, everyone sells Bawen, the fool wants to sell one or two, and it is the first or second room on the street, the foreigner asked, the price difference is so big, they have paid for the cheap, even with the back of the shop do not ask, the fool is really strange, almost no money on weekdays, a sale is a year, even has not closed the door, but is a strange and ugly woman, this body is plump, but this face can frighten many people, in our town is also a strange talk。 ”

The tea guests began to talk about the situation, and they all started discussions around this extremely ugly woman.

After hearing this, the old man opened the corners of his mouth and smiled, and the little baby carved in pink and jade said directly: "Master, I want to meet that wonderful person, she is very interesting." ”

The old man smiled and nodded, and the two left after settling the bill, and the bald baby with a tiger's head hurriedly followed.

Jingyang Town is not big, from the herbal tea shop to the scorching sun Mo about a stick of incense, then to the so-called porcelain street in the east of the town, before the excuse, I heard someone rushing out of it, constantly shouting: "Kill, kill, ugly girl kill." ”

After hearing this, the surrounding people rushed to Porcelain Street, and the entire street was immediately blocked.

The old man walked unhurriedly towards the crowd with the two little babies, and the crowd blocking in front of him felt as if they were blown by a gust of wind, and unconsciously separated a path to both sides, and then closed together, scratching his head, looking a little puzzled, why did he not obey the call to take a step.

There was some confusion at the entrance of the porcelain street, and I saw a plump girl in black sitting on the ground, her body trembling slightly, holding a handful of bǐ shǒu tightly in her right hand, and blood was still low on it, and next to her there was a little girl in green clothes, crying hard, and tears were flowing down.

Not far away, there was a man in tattered clothes, with a thin yellow face, blood dripping from a large hole in his chest, his face was already blue, and his breath was gone.

The face of the girl in black was covered with hideous scars, like a climbing centipede, hideous and terrifying, but her expression gradually returned to calm, perhaps because she had just been injured in the leg of the fight, and she had been unable to stand up, and the black veil that was originally used to cover her face also fell into the distance, and she said to the little girl who was crying next to her: "Lu'er, don't cry." ”

"But Xiao Jie, I'm afraid, I can't help it. The little girl in green was really scared, and she cried even louder, trembling and sobbing constantly.

"Hurry up, let let go, the garrison captain Yu Da is here. ”

After hearing this, the crowd hurriedly got out of the way, and a sound of horses' hooves came, led by a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and wearing armor, a total of five horsemen, all holding weapons, dismounted at the street entrance, and strode towards the field.

"I didn't expect that the daughter of Shunzhou Taishou, who was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, had been hiding for so many years, and ruined her appearance, but let me meet it inadvertently here, the creation of the world is really tricky, before I was just a little captain who wanted to see you and it was difficult, but now it hit my hands and take it away!"

A few sergeants behind him were just about to step forward, and the green-clothed girl who was kneeling on the ground and crying didn't know where she got the courage, she opened her arms like a hen guarding her cubs, stopped between the two, and shouted hoarsely: "No, I don't allow you to hurt Xiao Jie, the master was framed, Xiao Jie is innocent." ”

"Lu'er, stand down. The voice of the girl in black came from behind him, although it was cold, it still felt sultry.

"No, Xiao Jie, I know what they think, even if you die, I have to protect you. ”

The little girl in green was unmoved, looking at the sergeant in front of her, with hatred in her eyes, and then continued to shout: "This homeless person broke into my shop without permission and wanted to do me wrong, so Xiao Jie came to save me and stabbed him to death, we are not guilty, why do you want to take us away!"

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar, the little girl in green was the shopkeeper of the second porcelain shop, and the girl in black was the first one.

"I said that if you are guilty, you are guilty, and whatever you are doing are grinding, take them away from me!"

The middle-aged lieutenant looked impatient and let out a loud roar.

The four sergeants stepped forward and pushed away the little girl in green who was guarding in front of them, and reached out to grab the woman in black who was sitting on the ground.

At this moment, a young but old voice sounded, resounding in everyone's ears.

"Master, I think she's funny, I want her. ”

"Good. The old man next to the little baby nodded, and then everything around him stopped, the wind stopped flowing, and he no longer chirped, and the hand that the sergeant grabbed at the girl also stopped in place, and the crowd of onlookers all stood still, and the middle-aged lieutenant's face at this time was only frightened, but he couldn't move a bit.

At this time, there were only four people who could move on the entire street, an old man, two little babies, and a girl in black who was sitting on the ground.

The girl raised her scarred face and looked up, it was such a pair of calm eyes, there was no disgust or pity, she just frowned slightly, looked very serious, and said lightly:

"Wood rots, blades rust, but there's a thing in the world that won't break if you don't break it, you know what it is?"

The girl in black hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"Porcelain. ”

"Then do you want to be porcelain?" the childish voice sounded again.

The girl nodded.

"Okay, take this, hand it over to the Shunzhou Si Tianjian, go to Shenjing, someone will heal your face, how can a piece of porcelain have a scar. ”

The little baby carved in pink took off the jade pendant hanging from her waist and handed it to the girl, then turned to leave, and a lifelike fèng huáng was carved on the jade pendant!

In the following days, a piece of news spread throughout Great Xia.

The master slashed the dragon with three swords on the coast of the South China Sea in Fuzhou, and the heavy rain in March ended.

Zhao Yu was seven years old that year, and Yue'er was seventeen years old.
