The boy sat by the stream, staring at the front in a daze, as if he saw a person, holding a big white steamed bun to himself. He stretched out his hand and was about to catch it, only to hear a snap, and he was hit in the face. He suddenly came to his senses, touched his cheek with his hand, and felt a little hot. I saw that the man in front of me made up for it again, and hit it in the chest. The boy was stunned, and subconsciously jumped up and knocked the man down, and two light punches to the left and right made the man open his mouth and beg for mercy. The boy was not forgiving, let go of the man's hands and feet, and stared at him,

"You're crying!

"I didn't cry, you waited for me!" The man's eyes welled up with tears, and from time to time he dropped two drops, but he didn't make a sound.

"You're still reasonable, you did it first. The boy said angrily.

"Who told you to watch me take a shower!" the man cried out, his face flushing.

"I've been here for so long, who knows if you've taken a bath, and I'll see what's wrong with you as a big man taking a bath!" The boy tilted his head to look at him, the sun had already set, and the light was not very good, vaguely, only knowing that they were of the same age, and the other party should be very delicate.

The man was a little anxious, and asked softly,

"You really didn't see that?"

"I saw a steamed bun just handed it to my hand, and it was knocked off by you with a slap!" the boy squinted at him and continued,

"Are you called Hanako? What kind of bath are you taking when you call Hana, then you won't be able to eat!Haha!"

"You're the flower!" the man cried out.

The boy looked at himself and laughed,

"Really, I look more like Hanako!haha!"

The boy took off his clothes and jumped into the stream to bathe,

"Let's wash together, I was not good just now, and the shot was a little heavy!"

"I've washed it, you wash yours. The man turned his head and sat down on a stone in the distance.

"My name is An Xiaoyi, what's your name?"

"Su Baiqing. When the man turned around, he saw a swarthy body standing in the water, and he hurriedly turned his head away.

"How far is it from that cloud dragon? An Xiaoyi asked.

Su Baiqing replied,

"It's less than half an hour away!"

"Oh, let's go quickly, we can get there today, oops, it's finally here, haha!" An Xiaoyi wiped it on his body with a rag bag and put on his tattered clothes indiscriminately. He picked up the long black stick on his back, walked to Bai Qing's side, and held him up with one hand on his elbow. Su Baiqing took advantage of his strength to get up and straightened up, but he was more than an inch taller than An Xiaoyi. Su Baiqing's left hand stretched out to the top of An Xiaoyi's head, and was about to take a picture, when Yu Guang saw the look of anger in Xiao Yi's eyes, he suddenly withdrew it, gently pressed it on Xiao Yi's shoulder, and smiled slightly.

"Come on, follow Brother Bai Qing. Su Baiqing hung the burden on his shoulders and swaggered in front to lead the way.

An Xiaoyi's face was hideous, and his face was distorted into various shapes. Su Baiqing never looked back, Xiao Yi only restored his face to its original state, and then ran forward to walk side by side with Su Baiqing.

"Hey, Su Xiaobai, as soon as I hear your name, I know that you are a little white face! But then again, you are really white enough! I have never seen you so white in my house!" An Xiaoyi said lightly while looking at Su Baiqing.

"You're the little white face!No, you're the little black face!The little stinky face!Also, my name is Su Baiqing, and I'm your eldest brother, understand!" Su Baiqing was a little annoyed.

"It's green and white, or Su Xiaobai is better! I'll call you Xiaobai in the future, what do you think! Xiaobai, it's really good. An Xiaoyi grinned and applauded, circled around Su Baiqing twice, looked up and down again, and continued,

"How old are you, you're okay in size, but you look younger than me, and it's pretty much the same when you call me big brother. ”

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, you still have to be a big brother like this!" Su Bai glanced at him and quickened his pace.

"Su Xiaobai, don't go so fast. My feet are full of blood blisters, you have to wait for me, or I'll be alone again. An Xiaoyi cried with a sad face, still behind Su Baiqing.

Su Baiqing suddenly stopped, and An Xiaoyi slammed straight into his back. Su Baiqing fell forward, screamed, and saw that he was on the ground, only to see a big hand pressed into his lower abdomen and dragged him up. He stood up, looked back at the black boy behind him,

"You did it on purpose!

"It's almost, and it's not intentional, not to mention that you can't relieve your anger after making two punches?!Grandpa said that men want to save face, but they can't let people slap their faces at will!" An Xiaoyi grabbed Su Baiqing's outstretched slap with one hand,

"Ouch, your hands are so tender, like a girl. After speaking, he tightened Su Baiqing's hand and touched it again. Su Baiqing was touched by him like this, his face was red to his neck, and he struggled hard, but how could he get rid of it.

"Oh, you're really a woman! No wonder, you don't look like a boy when you listen to your whispering, and besides, you slapped me in front of you just because I thought I saw you taking a shower! Oh, I'm so stupid, I was so confused that I didn't take a good look. Ah, Xiaobai, Bai Qing, if you want to hit me, I will fight back......"

Su Baiqing hurriedly shook off his hand, turned around and ran away, and An Xiaoyi chased after him regardless of the pain on his feet. After all, this girl has less physical strength than the boy, how can she be the opponent of this wild child who has been up and down the river since he was a child. An Xiaoyi grabbed her and dragged the corner of her clothes with her hand, Su Baiqing desperately moved forward but couldn't move a bit, so she gave up. She looked at An Xiaoyi, who was smirking behind her,

"What the hell are you going to do, let me go!"

An Xiaoyi sneered,

"I'm not a bad person, I just want to go to Yunlongzhi with you. I used to listen to Grandpa tell the stories of women dressed as men, and those men couldn't recognize them, if I wasn't so hungry, I would definitely be able to see it at a glance. Haha, the story must be fake, or those people are too stupid. Also, don't you know, I've been walking in the mountains alone for more than a month, and no one has spoken, but it's almost suffocating me!"

Su Baiqing was a little annoyed,

"Hey, why have you been in the mountains for so long, why haven't you met a beast and eaten you!" Su Baiqing was a little curious.

An Xiaoyi said cheekily,

"That's a long ......."

"Then don't say it!" Su Baiqing interrupted him, turned his hand and walked forward slowly, An Xiaoyi gently grabbed the corner of her clothes to prevent her from running away.

"I arrived at a village ten days ago, it seems to be called Lushui Village, and my brother is very nice, gave me a lot of food, and gave me clothes to change into. I was reluctant to wear it and put it in my baggage, but I accidentally fell off the cliff a few days ago, hey, it's a pity. ”

"Hey, I think I've heard of it somewhere in Lushui Village! Oh yes, the sister who rested in the temple a few days ago is from there!

An Xiaoyi was a little depressed, lowered her head and said,

"I'm going to have a fork in the road!" Brother also said that it would only take two days to get there, but I walked for ten days, and I almost fell off a cliff in the middle. An Xiaoyi said aggrievedly,

"The mountains here are different from my home, but I found a ......."

"You should be a road idiot, and you still make so many excuses!" Su Baiqing squinted at him. An Xiaoyi actually blushed, but his complexion was dark, and it was not very obvious. Su Baiqing laughed in her heart,

"By the way, where are you from, and why are you going to this cloud dragon! ”

"I'm here to roam the rivers and lakes!" An Xiaoyi's face was full of arrogance.

Su Baiqing sneered,

"Just your little black charcoal is still roaming the rivers and lakes, haha, I'm laughing to death!"

"Don't look down on people, tell you, I'm amazing, in our place, three years older than me are not my opponents!"

Su Baiqing looked at him carefully, but he was in excellent shape, and he often slapped people who practiced martial arts.

Like you, I'm afraid it will take half a year to walk from here to Dali City, and it will take most of my life to walk around in this Dali country, haha, before I get out of Dali country, I will die on the road, haha, I am laughing to death!" Su Baiqing laughed, tears flashed in his eyes, but he looked very cute.

"Don't look down on people. But you reminded me that I still have to find someone to find the way with me. As he spoke, he stared at Su Baiqing and laughed wickedly.

Su Baiqing's scalp is numb,

"Don't look for me, this girl isn't that idle. She pursed her lips and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and a few stars loomed.

"Let's hurry up, there's no moon tonight, it's not good to walk at night!"

An Xiaoyi looked at the sky and asked,

"Xiaobai, what day is today. ”

Su Baiqing was a little displeased, and replied,

"On the first day of August, don't call me Xiaobai in the future!"

An Xiaoyi said "oh" and asked again,

"That Xiaoqing, what year is this, who is the emperor of this Nanzhao Kingdom!"

Su Baiqing looked dazed and said in surprise,

"This Nanzhao destroyed the country decades ago, this is Dali Kingdom! As for who is the emperor, I can't say clearly. ”

An Xiaoyi swallowed her saliva,

By the way, Xiaoqing, you are not this Nanzhao country, oh no, you are not from this Dali country?"

Su Baiqing hesitated,

"Hmph, why should I tell you. You are not a good person at first glance. ”

An Xiaoyi had no choice but to change the topic.

"Xiaoqing, why are you wearing a flower dress, don't you really want to ask for food!"

Su Baiqing snorted and replied,

"You're the one who wants food! I'm just doing it expedient!"

An Xiaoyi's face thickened,

"Oops, what a stopgap measure, why don't you bring me along?!"

Su Baiqing didn't pay attention to him anymore, just listened to his nagging all the way, but he didn't feel bored at all, and he slowly developed a good impression of this black boy.

The night sky was cloudless, and the stars were dense, as if they had just been cleaned, and they were exceptionally clear. The two of them quickly arrived at this cloud dragon by starlight. This cloud dragon does not have a strong city wall, but it is surrounded by mountains and waters, adding some barriers. An Xiaoyi watched the lights flickering in the distance from afar, and was about to continue moving forward. Su Baiqing grabbed him,

"Go this way. With that, she turned and walked in the other direction. It's a deep trail overgrown with weeds, and it's long since it was unvisited. At the end of the path is a land temple that seems to have been abandoned for a long time. An Xiaoyi looked up at the temple and thought about something. Su Baiqing looked at him inexplicably, pulled him into the temple, and then gently closed the temple door.

The two of them came to the back of the land lord in the dark, where the ground was paved with hay, and it was dry and comfortable to sit on.

"Let's make a fire!" An Xiaoyi said.

"No, if anyone sees it, I'm afraid ......"

"It's okay, I'll protect you!"

An Xiaoyi got up and found some dry firewood in the temple, which may have been left by someone who had stayed overnight. He set up a pyre beside the land, crumpled the hay, took the flint from the stick, and beat it gently. After a long time, the fire finally lit up. Su Baiqing and An Xiaoyi sat on both sides of the fire, the firelight illuminated, An Xiaoyi's face was full of sweat, looking at Su Baiqing and smirking.

"Why do you keep giggling and don't wipe your sweat!"

An Xiaoyi wiped his sleeve and continued to smirk.

"Talking, why do you keep laughing!" Su Baiqing was a little annoyed.

"It's the first time I've grown up to spend the night alone with a girl......

Before he finished speaking, a piece of firewood had already smashed into Xiao Yimian's door, he gently waved his hand to block it, and continued,

"If I hadn't met you today, I would have stayed by the stream, and I'm afraid I won't see you again. So, we're really destined. In the stories told by Grandpa, those heroes and heroines are like this. ”

Su Baiqing was about to fight, but gently put down the dry firewood in his hand,

"You sleep outside tonight. ”

An Xiaoyi spread his hands,

"Can you borrow some hay, you'll get sick if you sleep on the ground. ”

Su Baiqing said hatefully,

"How come you haven't been sick in the mountains for more than a month, I see that you are very strong!

Xiao Yi had no choice but to reply,

"Okay. By the way, Xiaobai, oh no, Xiaoqing, do you have anything to eat?

"Nope. ”

"That's ......"

"Nothing!"

An Xiaoyi suffered a dumb loss, so she had to take advantage of the firelight to look around. The land temple is not big, but it is separated by the front and back of the land gong, more than a foot in front of him, but only three feet behind him. The ground was full of stones, a few wooden sticks were rotten, there were a few weeds growing in the corners, and the upper part of the left wall had collapsed, and there were cobwebs all around, and a large beam was in the middle, and there was a large hole three feet square at the top, and a small starry sky could be seen. Looking at this land again, although there are cobwebs hanging and slightly damaged, they are still standing in it, full of blessings.

An Xiaoyi went outside the temple to retrieve a large piece of firewood and put it on the fire, then cleaned up a flat piece of land next to the fire, and slowly lay down with a stick.

"Oh, it's still comfortable to lie down. He swallowed his saliva while rubbing his stomach and looked at the big hole in the top of the temple in a daze.

Su Baiqing stood up, walked behind the land duke and groped, and when he returned to the fire, he had half a pancake in his hand. She threw the cake at An Xiaoyi, who grabbed it and jumped up directly.

"Oh, there's something to eat. Just wanted to take a bite, Xiao Yi felt that something was wrong, so he naturally picked up the branch and put the cake next to the fire to bake lightly. When it was baked and yellowed, Xiao Yi blew the cake, tore off a slice and handed it to Su Baiqing. Bai Qing was reluctant to take it, but he couldn't resist Xiao Yi, so he had to catch it and take a bite.

"It's better to eat together, it's the best cake I've ever tasted. An Xiaoyi learned from Bai Qing to finish the pancake slowly, and then slowly lay down with a stick, and continued to stroke his stomach with his hands.

Su Baiqing couldn't help but laugh out loud when he looked at him like this.

"How do you like to touch your stomach like an old man after eating. ”

An Xiaoyi laughed,

"Food, clothing, shelter, and the company of patients, oops, what a blessing. ”

Su Baiqing glared at him, huffed back to his hay, and didn't say a word. An Xiaoyi also stopped talking with interest, squinted her eyes and stared at the small starry sky, and soon fell asleep with the crackling sound of firewood burning.

Early the next morning, the sky was already bright, Su Baiqing just opened her eyes, she felt that something was wrong, and after a closer look, it turned out that there were more wooden planks in the front and back of the small place where she slept. She pulled open the plank and found that the fire was still burning, but An Xiaoyi was gone. Suddenly, she patted her head, opened the temple door and was about to run out. At the same time, a swarthy boy walked in and almost bumped into her. It was An Xiaoyi, who saw that he had two more fish in his hand, and was staring at Su Baiqing with a smile.

"Get up, let's eat fish this morning!"

Su Baiqing ignored him and ran out. An Xiaoyi looked dazed, he didn't think much about it, thinking it was just convenient to go. Xiao Yi added some firewood to the fire, put the fish on a bamboo pole and set it up to grill it slowly. The fragrance was very strong, Xiao Yi sniffed hard, and swallowed hard.

After a while, Su Baiqing came back, his face full of frustration.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you, it seems that you are not in a good mood!"

Seeing that Su Baiqing didn't react, he continued,

"Oops, what's the big deal, say it and I'll listen to it, make me happy!"

Seeing that she hadn't moved, he said,

"It's okay, just come and eat a fish. ”

Su Baiqing glared at him, his face full of grievances,

"It's all because you snore at night, so I didn't get up early to get food!"

An Xiaoyi said helplessly,

"So you dressed like this to get food!"

Su Baiqing pouted and choked,

"I'll be here for a few days, and soon someone will come to pick me up. And I'm a female ......."

An Xiaoyi rubbed her nose and said with a smile,

"Well, I see. It's okay, look at my grilled fish here, tsk, it's been a long time since I've eaten such a big grilled fish, you smell it, the fragrance comes out. ”

An Xiaoyi pulled her to the fire, and took out a few crepes from the side and handed them to her. She stared at the pizza with wide eyes. An Xiaoyi looked at her expression and smiled happily,

"You want to ask where you came from. I was also strange, wandering around the street, and suddenly someone shoved two into my hand, and I said that I had a younger brother, so I had two more. She is a very kind old woman. ”

Su Baiqing was a little excited,

"Old lady Liu, oh my God, I've been there for days, and I haven't been able to see her!"

An Xiaoyi's face was full of doubts, and Su Baiqing continued,

"I heard that this Mrs. Liu celebrated her birthday on August 16 and 70, and the Liu family was repairing bridges and paving roads, and they also made a 'wind stay' for the Liu family, and those idle people who had no place to live gathered there to eat and drink! This daily alms will last for 7749 days......

Su Baiqing swallowed his saliva,

"Is this okay?"

An Xiaoyi smiled, took out two small paper bags from his body, he carefully sprinkled the powder inside on the body of the fish, and handed one to Su Baiqing. Su Baiqing picked up the fish, but when he bit it, it was so hot. While eating the fish, she asked curiously,

"Where did you get the fish, and this salt and pepper!"

"The big brother who sold the fish ran away with a lot of fish, and I went to help catch them, and then he gave me two, and I borrowed a knife to kill the fish. But then again, there are a lot of fish in this river! As for this seasoning, it was taken by the 'Yanyu Building', and I helped them carry a few bags of rice and noodles. ”

An Xiaoyi picked up his fish and ate it in a big gulp,

"With Brother Xiaoyi here, I will let you eat and drink well every day in the future!"

Su Baiqing sneered. Xiao Yi continued,

"Grandpa said that you can't just take other people's benefits for nothing, and we'll go and see if there's anything we can help with. ”

Su Baiqing nodded. After eating, the two walked out of the temple gate and walked towards Liu's house.

Outside the gate of Liu's Mansion, two little beggars came, and the family was about to invite the two away, but they happened to meet the big housekeeper of Liu's Mansion. The chief housekeeper couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the reason, and there was not much work for the two of them to do in this house, so he had to quietly ask someone to move a few bags of rice and noodles from the kitchen to the back door, and then let the two move back again. The black-faced boy works quickly and is a real person, and the big housekeeper likes it very much.

"Young man, how old are you, why don't I ask my wife to come to the house as a helper, and the monthly salary is much more than outside!"

An Xiaoyi wiped a few drops of sweat from her forehead and smiled,

"Uncle housekeeper, I'm fourteen today, and my brother ......"

Su Baiqing hurriedly said,

"Thirteen. ”

"Yes, thirteen. But I can't stay in one place for too long. ”

"Why. ”

"I want to walk the rivers and lakes and be a hero. Grandpa said, the rivers and lakes are so big, everywhere is home!"

The butler laughed,

"Good boy, what's your name, I'll have to ask more about whether there is your number one person in the rivers and lakes in the future!"

"An Xiaoyi!"

Su Baiqing also showed no weakness,

"And Su Baiqing. ”

"Hey, aren't you two brothers, why don't you have the same surname. Your brother is really good-looking. ”

An Xiaoyi touched her head and smiled,

"We're closer than brothers! Uncle housekeeper, let's go first. ”

And the steward kept them, and had some food brought to them, and gave them some food.

"You deserve it. ”

After thanking them, they took their food and left. The butler looked at the two children from afar, nodded with satisfaction, and then called a capable family to give him a chance to keep an eye on their movements.

The two "beggars" turned around the streets several times, but An Xiaoyi still couldn't remember the location of the store. Passing by the stone bridge, the two sat on the side very tacitly, letting their feet hang in the air. The light of the broken temple was very dim, and it was only at this time that An Xiaoyi looked at the little girl beside her for the first time. I saw that she was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although it was not stunning, but as long as she looked at her, she would feel happy, the kind that would never get tired of watching, and the most important thing was that she had a small dimple on the side of her mouth when she smiled, which was very good-looking. The little girl saw that this kid was staring at her, her face was also red, and she murmured,

"Can I go with you to the rivers and lakes!"

An Xiaoyi stayed on the spot.
