Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

The child and Waiya had been to Qian's wine shop several times, but this was their first time going to the third floor.

Someone grabbed me by my clothes and pulled me up...

The soldier with shining eyes threw them to the ground.

The wooden board creaked dully, making one's teeth ache. It seemed that it was not very solid.

Only the people who fell on it can be sure that it is still very strong and may be able to be used for another generation without any problem. However, Pei Da Nu, who has made a lot of money, is still planning to replace it with a new batch after these people leave.

This was what she was thinking a few days ago.

Now she no longer cared about the wooden boards. She was just absent-minded, leading the way while listening to the noises above and wondering why the child was caught.

Hearing that dull sound, she almost wanted to rush forward, but she didn't, because she had other relatives downstairs...

"County Master, do you think this room is suitable?"

She pushed the door open and stepped aside, her hands clenched awkwardly.

Gu Kaiqi, with his red, scratched nose, was uncomplaining: "Okay, that's pretty good. Please, boss, find me some more medicine."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Pei Da Nv nodded and was about to leave when she heard Gu Kaiqi muttering to himself, "These two unlucky kids don't know what it means to be amused. They kicked me to death."

Gu Kaiqi rubbed his nose with a grin, turned around and closed the door.

Pei Da Nu's heart was like that door, without a crack at all, blocking her view so much that it felt dark.

Oh my god, it’s killing me!

Her sister kicked it up to the sky...

Pei Da Nu walked down the stairs in a daze. When she reached the last few steps, her feet went weak and she fell down head-heavy. She felt dizzy and her head was broken.

The four girls who were serving food came running over with the food: "Sister, sister! What's wrong with you?"

It was nothing, she was just in a daze, thinking that the noise upstairs was the sound of a child's head falling to the ground. She was scared and sad, and fainted for a while.

After pinching his Ren Zhong point, he slowly woke up.

In fact, what she thought did not happen in the room in the middle of the third floor.

Right Chief Clerk An Xiu watched the two girls fall in front of him and said to the officer in a somewhat blaming tone, "Jin Tong, you should control your bad temper. These two children are so young, and you didn't help them up if they got hurt again."

As he spoke, he bent down first and pulled Waiya up: "Kid, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

He has a thin face and a meticulous mustache. When he raises his head, he looks like an arrogant official who breathes out through his nostrils. When he lowers his head, he becomes an uncle with clear eyebrows and a kind temper. His smile and eyes are very sincere. He wears an official uniform, but he looks much better than Gu Kaiqi.

The child who was picked up by Jin Tong and put down could not get angry when facing such a good-looking person with a good attitude.

Waiya didn't really buy into this, but since she was under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to bow her head, swallow her anger and stand there with her body tense.

An Xiuze didn't care that they didn't speak. He looked at Waiya's face and suddenly sighed: "Your eyes are the same as your mother's."

What kind of look?

Maybe it's the stubbornness and ferocity that bursts out from cowardice.

Like a wolf whose teeth are not sharp, claws are not sharp, it is still young, trembling with fear, but still dares to show its teeth to the hunter.

Waiya knew that if they kicked the county magistrate, they would suffer the consequences, so they were ready to fight to the death.

She was naturally afraid of these officials, but if they wanted to hurt her, she would definitely bite a piece of flesh off them.

Children also have such stubborn eyes, but they are not as aggressive as Waiya's.

She always muddles along, either running away, enduring, or hoping for luck, wondering if there might be other ways, like if the person is so good-looking and speaks so gently that he or she might not want to hurt them.

If she fails to accomplish her goal in one go, her enthusiasm will be half gone.

It seems brave, but it is actually a paper tiger.

An Xu Ze's words did not let Waiya let down her guard, but instead made the child feel that perhaps things were not that bad.

Waiya: "Do you know my mother?"

"We're both under the command of Prince Jia, so how could we not recognize each other? Your mother mentioned you several times in the letters she sent back to the palace, and she even said that she would bring you back to show us when she had time. What a pity..."

When An Xiu said this, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

It's a pity that she died.

What he said seemed to be true. An official wouldn't lie to people, right?

"Then why did you arrest us if you knew my mother?"

"Where did you get that? Weren't you running around the town? Jin Tong and the others were so kind as to find a safe place for you to stay, but you broke through the wall again."

He said this with a smile, as if the children's escape was just too naughty.

"But……"

But what was it? Waiya was speechless. After he said that, it seemed that they were indeed wrong.

The child smacked his lips, feeling that this didn't sound right: "Then why don't you just let us go?"

"Because before dark today, people are only allowed to enter Peijia Town but not leave. Your arrival is really unfortunate. But now it's dark. If you want to leave, you can do so anytime. I can even send someone to take you back," An Xiu continued, as if he was very considerate of them. "But before that, I have something else I want to tell you."

"What?" the two children asked in unison.

An Xiu smiled slightly and said to Waiya, "Do you know how your mother died?"

"He died of illness..." In the past, Waiya believed this statement without a doubt, but after hearing what happened to the guardians, she was not so sure anymore.

An Xiu Ze: "He was trying to eliminate harm to the people and died at the hands of a river monster. According to what's said here, your mother wanted to kill the river god."

"Oh...I see..." Waiya expressed her feelings, "Did she do it?"

"Only halfway done. Two demon dragons, one escaped."

"Why did she do this?"

An Xiu originally wanted to say: Killing demons and eliminating evil is the duty of those who guard the area.

However, facing the two children, he told the truth: "Actually, there is no need. The prince has never issued such an order. It is your mother who doesn't like it.

She couldn't stand the people throwing girls into the river to sacrifice to the gods, so she thought it might be better without the river gods, so she went.

Waiya said, “That’s so stupid.”

"Well... a little bit," An Xiu agreed with Waiya, "So... do you want to meet her?"

"A ghost?"

"Your mother probably had no regrets or obsessions at the moment of her death, so her soul has transformed into spiritual energy and returned to the world. Only her bones remain in the world. However, you may want to talk to Yinghua. She was your mother's weapon and still has a spirit."

I didn't find my mother, but I found an axe.

"Whatever..." Waiya was numb, "Where is it?"

"Golden Eyes will take you there."

Waiya turned around and followed the soldier, grabbing the child with her.

"Nianming, go by yourself. I have something to say to this little girl."

The child and Waiya didn't want to separate, and each held on tighter than the other.

"Then I'll wait for you to finish."

An Xiuze: ...

He should have thought of it earlier. It would be strange if Miao Xianglan's daughter would be so obedient.

He gave a wink, and Jin Tong grabbed Waiya's arm and carried her away. She was like a wooden figure, not moving at all.

The child chased after him for two steps, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door and the door was closed again.

The child made a bitter face: ...I really want to escape.

An Xiu smiled and said, "Did you see what Jin Tong did just now, little girl? Wasn't it amazing? Do you want to learn it?"
