"We're home." Qi Xiaoyu stood up and looked at the pass excitedly. This is the gateway to the empire, the throat guarding the northern demonic barbarians and the Buddhist kingdom in the western regions. It is a frontier in the eyes of the world, and a desolate and poor place.
It is also where she grew up. The prosperity of the Central Plains, the beauty of Jiangnan, and the green mountains of Yunshu are all inferior to the desolation and magnificence here.
The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, the sun is setting over the long river. The wind blew sand and dust into the nose, and there was a faint smell of dry dust, which was the smell of home.
After being away from home for more than four months, she finally came back. The vulture jumped over the soldiers guarding the city wall and flew into the male pass. In the middle of the male pass, there was a mountain that was not too high. There was a vast group of houses on the mountain. The vulture landed there.
The entire mountain is where the Qi family lives. Qi Xiaoyu drove the green bull and got off the vulture.
"Flying is fast. It is much faster than my slow way. I will break through the third level as soon as possible and fly to Yanchuan..." Qi Xiaoyu thought happily while turning around and waving goodbye to the second grandfather.
"Old Niu, let's go." Sitting on Qing Niu's back, Lao Niu took her down the mountain to the west.
The old cow knows the way and knows where she and her home are.
"No, don't go there, let's go to Fuze Garden." Qi Xiaoyu raised his eyes, glanced at an inconspicuous small yard in a row of alleys at the foot of the west mountain, and knocked the old cow to make it go in another direction.
Lao Niu nodded wisely and turned northwest. In a corner at the foot of the northwest mountain, there is a large yard and several rows of houses. There are many children running back and forth in the yard.
The yard is very dilapidated, and the flagstones on the ground are pitted and full of signs of damage, which are caused by the ravages of wind and sand and children's play.
It seems that it has not been repaired for many years. And those houses are also dilapidated, some are leaking, and are simply covered with wooden boards.
Qi Xiaoyu rode a green bull to the door of the courtyard.
"Hit him, beat him hard, what a piece of shit, a cheap maid dares to provoke me, break her hand and see if she dares to steal my things!" At the door, Qi Xiaoyu heard the shouts and screams coming from inside. Her face immediately darkened, she turned over and jumped off the green cow, and walked angrily towards the yard.
In the yard, a little boy of about ten years old, wearing luxurious clothes, was crossing his arms and sneered at the fight that was taking place in front of him.
In front, there were five or six children, punching and kicking a little girl on the ground.
The little girl held her head and huddled on the ground, crying and crying while being beaten. She looked to be only seven or eight years old, very thin, and her clothes were in tatters. "Stop!" Qi Xiaoyu shouted. The children turned around and saw her. Their expressions changed immediately and they hid behind the gorgeous boy in panic.
"Teacher Xiaoyu is back!"
"It's Teacher Xiaoyu, you are finally back."
"Great, we don't have to be bullied anymore!" The children in the yard were overjoyed and gathered around.
Qi Xiaoyu glared at the gorgeous boy and shouted angrily,
"Qi Tianpeng, you came to Fuze Garden to act wild again, and you beat Xiaoyi like this. I think the last time I hit you was too gentle, it won't change you, right?" Qi Tianpeng shrank his neck in fright, and instinctively wanted to run away. , but after thinking about it, I felt that this was too timid, so I held my neck and shouted,
"Why can't I beat this cheap maid? If she dares to steal my money, I should beat her to death."
"I didn't steal." The little girl got up from the ground, covered her arms, and raised her little face. Her face was mixed with tears and dust, making it dirty and distressing.
"It was a penny I picked up on the road. I didn't know it was his, so he insisted that I stole it from him. I didn't steal anything."
"It was you who stole it. We walked in front and you followed behind. Then my money disappeared. Who else could it have been if you hadn't stolen it? You are a cheap servant. Our Qi family gave you food and clothing. You are not grateful." , If you dare to steal anything, I will ask you to get out tomorrow!" Qi Tianpeng pointed at Xiaoyi and cursed angrily.
Hearing this, Qi Xiaoyu became furious, stepped forward and slapped Qi Tianpeng in the face. Snapped!
"Keep your mouth clean. Xiaoyi's father is a martyr. He died defending Yumen Pass. He is a hero. She is the child of a hero. Without the sacrifices of these people, do you think you can live a stable life?" Bang!
Another slap.
"Also, it's impossible for Xiaoyi to steal. None of the children I teach can steal. Why do you think that the money is yours? Did you write your name on it?" The little boy was beaten to tears. He was furious, pointed at Qi Xiaoyu and cursed angrily,
"Qi Xiaoyu! If you dare to hit me, I will let my brother beat you to death! You are a bitch who is a concubine, as despicable as a slave, and you dare to hit me!" Qi Xiaoyu kicked the little boy in the stomach and knocked it down. He kicked her to the ground, pointed at her and said,
"Now, apologize to Xiaoyi immediately, or I'll chop off your arm!" Of course she wouldn't chop off a child's arm because of something like this, but she couldn't be merciful to this kind of dude who had been a bully since he was a child. They must be beaten when they need to be beaten, and they must be frightened when they need to be frightened, otherwise these children will intensify their efforts to bully these children of martyrs.
These little children are already very pitiful. They have no father or mother, no one to look after them, no one to care about them, and those dudes like to bully them.
Fuze Garden was originally established by the imperial court for those who were widowed and lonely, but no matter where it was, there was no shortage of corrupt officials lining their pockets, and very little money actually fell into the hands of those poor people.
Qi Tianpeng stood up and ran out with his minions. When the children saw the bully running away, they all excitedly shouted long live Teacher Xiaoyu.
Teacher Xiaoyu is back, and they don't have to be bullied anymore. But Qi Xiaoyu couldn't be happy. He put his hands on his hips and shouted,
"Why are you happy? They bully you. Don't you have any hands or feet? What are your fists for? I teach you martial arts to fight back when you are bullied, not to make you a coward. You are a hundred There are multiple people, but they can't defeat those six or seven people? Can I protect you for the rest of my life?" Hearing Qi Xiaoyu's scolding, these children lowered their heads one by one.
Seeing their pitiful looks, Qi Xiaoyu softened her heart again, secretly cursed that poor people must be hateful, and then said,
"Have you received the books I asked the escort agency to bring back earlier?"
