Chapter 99 Distress
One day, Liangzi met a woman with a child on the way back with Zhuhua to pick wild flowers.The two were stunned when they saw each other, Zhuhua thought they knew each other and didn't think much about it. After a while, Liang Zi said, "I planned to go out and make money, and come back to propose marriage to her."

"Who? That woman just now?" Zhuhua immediately became interested, but she was too embarrassed to be too obvious.

Li Liangzi nodded, then scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "Don't tell me, my parents don't even know."

"Don't worry, I promise not to tell." Zhuhua patted her chest sincerely, and asked again: "Did she agree at that time?"

He didn't answer, and after a long silence, he smiled and said, "It's all in the past, I wanted to rot in my stomach."

"I understand." Zhuhua nodded and said, people will suddenly want to confide in others after their emotions fluctuate.

"What do you know, a little doll." Liang Zi smiled, and deliberately pressed her head, "Fortunately, you are not Jinhua. When I was young, I pressed Jinhua's head and was kicked by her. I am a mother , almost broke my leg."

"Are you not afraid that I will go back and sue my sister? There are also my mother and my father and your mother and your father."

"Why do you still like to sue? Girls are such a trouble. I didn't play with girls before, except for your sister. Your sister can stand up to two boys, and she won't cry when nothing happens."

"Then why did you talk to that girl just now?" Zhuhua teased.

Liang Zi clicked his tongue, frowned and glared at her, and said, "You still know a lot, don't you ladies in the official family understand these things quite early? By the way, how old are you, are you ten years old?"

"I'm twelve." Zhuhua gave him an annoyed look. Although she didn't look tall, she was still ten years old from the outside, and the girls in the village were about the same height as her.

"Are you twelve?" Liang Zi looked at her in surprise, rubbed his nose and remained silent.

After returning home that day, he pulled Uncle Li over and said, "Father, Ah Zhu is twelve, why didn't you tell me? The day before yesterday I took her into the water to touch the loach? Wouldn't that be bad?"

Uncle Li's face froze when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but patted him, "How can you take her to touch the loach, she is also Miss Everyone now, how can this be spread?"

"I thought she was at most eight or nine years old. You see, Abao is only four years old. I thought the difference between the two siblings was at most five years old. Who knows that the difference can be eight years old. At that time, you didn't stop her, and the girl next to her also I didn’t stop her, so I thought she was still young. It’s not uncommon for little girls in our village to go down the river. I heard that Jinhua used to go down the river to fish.”

"Can this be the same?" Uncle Li pointed at him and gave another lesson.

Li Liangzi also had no choice but to ask honestly after the training: "Father, what should we do now?"

"How do I know what to do!" Uncle Li glared at him and went out.

Zhuhua didn't know that Li Liangzi had been reprimanded for this matter. Qiuyun stopped her when she went into the water, but she tricked her by saying that the people here were not particular.Besides, Zhuhua really looked young, the girl from another family who played with her was half a head taller than her, and she even played in the water.Although this girl is five years younger than Zhuhua, she has been strong since she was a child, and she was born in the first lunar month, so she looks older than other children of the same age.

"Oh, it's a pity that I didn't bring cumin, otherwise I could still have barbecue." Zhuhua said with some regret, and when she was chatting, she heard Uncle Li knock on the door outside and call her out.

Her own house was usually left unattended, and it was no longer possible to live in it. Uncle Li was worried about her living outside alone, so he let her live in Li's house.

"Uncle Li, come in." Zhuhua said with a smile, put down the melon seeds in her hand and stood up from the table, "Uncle Li didn't go out today, is he going to make dinner, do you want me to help?"

Both Uncle Li and Li Liangzi were not good at cooking, and they resolutely refused to let Zhuhua cook. The three meals a day were still cooked under Qiuyun's name, and Zhuhua secretly helped cook.But after doing it a few times, the two families agreed, and Uncle Li didn't stop Zhuhua from cooking. He still felt that no matter if he was Miss Qianjin or not, he still had to know how to do the kitchen work.

"No, it's still early." Uncle Li said, then sat down a little embarrassedly, glanced at her hesitantly, and hurriedly greeted her: "Sit down, uncle has something to tell you .”

"Okay, uncle, tell me." Zhuhua sat down and looked at him curiously, wondering what happened.

Uncle Li touched his nose, and said, "Ah Zhu, you are twelve too..."

Zhuhua Miao understood the meaning of his words, but pretended not to understand, and said, "Yes, uncle, don't look at me as a child, my eldest sister has already gone hunting with you when I was my age. Uncle, I have something to do." Just say, are you short of money?"

"No, how can you talk about money, girl?" Uncle Li glanced nervously outside, then lowered his voice and said, "You don't know if money is not in vain?"

"Oh." Zhuhua nodded in confusion, and asked, "What's that?"

Uncle Li was stunned for a while, then said, "It's okay, just ask what you want for dinner. Forget it, I'd better go."

After speaking, he got up and walked to the door.The corner of Zhuhua's mouth raised, and seeing him stop at the door, she hurriedly showed a puzzled expression.

"Ah Zhu, you are a big girl now. If you want to look like a big girl, stop playing wild in the countryside and watch your mother beat you."

"Oh." Zhuhua nodded obediently. When Uncle Li went out, she couldn't help smiling, and then breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't notice that Qiuyun beside her was slowly frowning.

Sure enough, the young lady lied to her, so she said that there is no place where a 12-year-old girl goes into the water barefoot, and it's over, and the wife will definitely punish her when she goes back... Qiuyun groaned in her heart, and really didn't know how to persuade her young lady.

Qiu Yun's troubles didn't last long, after all, they couldn't live in the country all the time, and Uncle Li had to go back to Daqing Mansion to take care of Zhuangzi's affairs.Fearing that Zhuhua would play wild in the countryside, Uncle Li brought a group of people home a few days earlier.

Zhuhua felt that it was a pity that her youthful life in her previous life was not as carefree as it is now.In order to support her and her younger brother, in addition to working overtime, my mother would also take private work home. Cheng Zhu would also help out and rarely go out to play.So when she went to college to study design, she was the best sewing machine in her class.When she was a child, she was always envious when she heard where her classmates went to play on weekends. When she grew up and really had the ability, she lost the mood to go out and play.But she likes watching other people play, especially watching children play.

The children in the village didn't realize that she liked to watch, they just thought that this official lady had a good temper, didn't like to grab things from them, knew how to take care of others, and knew a lot of fun things.In the past so many years, they have forgotten that there was once a girl named Jinhua who was the tyrant in the village, and they didn't know that Zhuhua was Jinhua's younger sister. Almost everyone who knew this had already married and had children.They don't remember how powerful Jin Hua is anymore. After all, Jin Hua has come back several times and she seems to be quite peaceful, but she still doesn't like to talk.They didn't dare to talk to her, she is the general's daughter; they didn't dare to talk to Yinhua, Yinhua loves to put on airs and I heard that she is stingy, only Zhuhua looks like she has no airs and is generous, they dare to let their younger brother The younger sister plays with her.

Hearing that Zhuhua was leaving, many children in the village were reluctant to part with her. There was a little chubby girl who was only seven years old and taller than Zhuhua. Normally, no one in the village would like to play with her. Zhuhua finally came. She can follow whatever is fun.In order to prevent Zhuhua from leaving, she guarded the door of Li's house and did not allow them to go out. Later, Shoulei fell asleep and was carried home by her parents, and she didn't even come to see them off.

Sun Daniu was also reluctant to let her go, even if it was only during Xiumu's day, he could come to Lijia Village to play with Zhuhua.He hasn't had time to take Zhuhua to dig out the bird's nest, nor can he take Zhuhua to see the beautiful azalea clump on the top of the mountain.When seeing off, he followed her with red eyes, wanting to follow her

"It's okay, I'll come back next year." Zhuhua rubbed his head and said, which made him a little annoyed.

"Third cousin, I'm already an older child."

"I can't tell." Zhuhua said maliciously, causing Sun Daniu to pout unwillingly.

Zhuhua smiled triumphantly, waved goodbye to her little friend who came to see her off, and got into the carriage.

It was the same as when they came, and the weather was fine on the way back. Zhuhua felt that the peace talisman Yinhua begged for was really effective. On the seventh day, they encountered robbers on the road.

Zhuhua didn't know whether to call the robbers or not. At that time, she was falling asleep in the carriage when the carriage stopped suddenly.At that time, she was about to wake up and was in a daze, so Qiu Yun hugged her and hid her behind her.Knowing something was wrong in her consciousness, she struggled a bit and woke up suddenly. Although she couldn't solve anything when she woke up, it was better than falling asleep and becoming a burden.

"What's going on outside?" She asked quietly.

Qiu Yun turned her head and shook her head in panic, but it was Qiu Chu who was bold, just peeked outside, and said, "There are a group of men in black with knives surrounding the carriage, probably for robbery."

The bandits are also uniformed now?Why do you wear black in broad daylight?Zhu Hua complained, then shook her head, put aside these irrelevant things first, and asked seriously: "Aren't we going to run?"

Qiuyun and Qiuchu glanced at each other, they never thought of running away, where could a few weak girls go, at least there were guards accompanying them outside.Hearing the sounds of fighting and growling outside, they knew something was wrong.

"No, I have to go outside to take a look at the situation. There is nothing to hide in there. Maybe I can help you beat a sap when I go out." Zhuhua said, flipped through the accompanying package, and took it out from the inside. A short knife.Influenced by Jin Hua, she also got used to carrying some weapons when she went out. When she said that she wanted a sharp weapon with her, Jin Hua agreed very much.After a few days, Qin San gave her a short knife, which was lighter than ordinary knives, suitable for her young age.

"Miss, is there any more?" Qiuchu asked with his head poked.

"And this..." Zhuhua took out a shoe awl. When she was learning how to make shoes, she thought it was sharp and light, especially suitable for hiding. She took it with her when she went out. It can also be used to make shoes, killing two birds with one stone, how nice.

"This is good." Qiu Chu took it over and looked at Qiu Yun embarrassedly, "Sister Qiu Yun, you have great strength, how about giving it to you?"

Qiu Yun frowned, and complained in her heart, so they had to go out, she really didn't dare to do anything with bandits~
"Either you take this." Zhuhua picked up the teapot that fell on the ground, and there was a plate of fruit beside it, "If you dare not go up, just throw it behind."

"Yes." Qiu Yun took it tremblingly, and suddenly heard a scream outside, and trembled in fright.

While hesitating, Zhuhua had already crawled out from behind her and opened the car curtain.They didn't bring many guards outside this time. The roads have been peaceful these years, and it is rare to hear that someone was robbed on the road.They are officials and family members, not a rich caravan, so how could anyone attack them.Taking a look at the bodyguard who fell on the ground, as well as Uncle Li who was lying on the ground unable to get up after being slashed, and Li Liangzi who was protecting him with a knife, Zhuhua frowned slightly, and then crawled out of the carriage.

"Miss." Qiu Yun wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

Qiuchu hesitated for a moment, and followed her out. By the way, when she jumped off the carriage, she picked up a big knife on the ground, and stood in front of Zhuhua holding the bloody handle in shock, her legs were a little weak.

The guards brought in had almost suffered casualties. The man in black wanted to attack the women hiding in the horse at last, but he didn't expect them to come out.

"Who are you, and what enmity do you have with my Cheng family?" Zhuhua asked a man in black who met his eyes.

The man froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at their heads, Zhuhua followed his gaze and saw a man of ordinary build walking over without haste, holding a knife.

"If you want to blame, blame Cheng Dashan!"

Sure enough, she was looking for revenge, so she wondered why they didn't rob and only kill people.If she is looking for revenge, she can't run even if she wants to. Could it be that she is going to confess here at a young age, and after finally traveling through it, she doesn't have the aura of the protagonist, so that she can escape.But looking around, they were the only ones on the straight official road, even if she was looking forward to some savior from heaven, the other party would have nowhere to show up, unless that person came out of the mountain.

She glanced at the mountain forest on the left, and quickly dismissed the idea. Forget it, if you have time to wait for someone to rescue, it is better to reduce the loss first.

"If you want to seek revenge on my father, come after me. The others are innocent, let them go." She said it too coldly, it was more like an order than a beg.There is no way, she knows that it is useless to say it at this time, no matter how much she begs, it is probably useless.

Even so, her words had a different meaning in the ears of Uncle Li, Qiu Chu and others.

"Ah Zhu, don't say stupid things!" Li Liangzi shouted.

"Miss, I will be with you even if I die." Qiu Chu also said with tears in his eyes.

I'm not a handsome guy, why would you want to die with me, Zhuhua thought to herself, she wanted to tease a few words but couldn't laugh.To be honest, she is also afraid, and she doesn't want to die, but the enemy is outnumbered, and her martial arts skills are average. It is really not easy to get out of trouble on her own. She let it go.

At this moment, Zhuhua suddenly heard the sound of piercing the sky, the man in black in front of her reacted faster than her, turned around and raised the knife in the air, but still couldn't block the arrow, and could only Watching the arrow shoot into the body helplessly.

Is there really someone in the forest on the left?Zhuhua thought to herself, just as she was about to poke her head to see who it was, Qiuchu had already pulled her to hide behind the carriage.Zhuhua couldn't help being afraid, thinking about how stupid and bold she was, wouldn't it be too bad luck if she was accidentally injured by an arrow.At this time, the men in black either looked for a place to hide or pulled out the arrows with their knives. The place where Zhuhua and the others hid was also their target, but everyone who rushed there was shot, obviously someone didn't want to. They are close to Pearl Flower.

Marksman, Zhuhua secretly sighed.After a while, she heard the sound of horseshoes, glanced at Qiuchu, excitedly took Zhuhua's hand and said, "It's the eldest son-in-law, the eldest son-in-law is here."

Qin San?Zhuhua leaned out and waved to Qin San, who had a dignified expression.Qin San couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it, he was afraid that he might not be able to save Zhuhua in time, but luckily someone helped, otherwise it would be too late when he arrived.He led people to deal with the rest of the men in black, saluted in the direction of the arrow, and ordered his subordinates to go over to ask questions, and he helped the injured Uncle Li to check the wound on his leg first.

"Uncle Li, are you okay?"

"It's all right. Where's Ah Zhu?" He asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Zhuhua ran over from behind the carriage, and said to Qin San, "Let the injured get on the carriage. I can ride a horse. Let's go back quickly."

Qin San nodded, and the person who went to the mountains and forests to inquire has already returned, saying that the nobleman who happened to pass by, holding the royal token, has left now.

"Royal family?" Qin San murmured silently, and without thinking about it, he hurriedly led people into the city to rest, lest the black-clothed thieves come to rob and kill again without dying.

Zhuhua was also curious when she heard that it was the royal family. She glanced at the forest on the left, but couldn't see anything, so she got on her horse in disappointment.She had learned how to ride a horse from Jin Hua, but she had been led around the mansion by the servants, and she had never ridden outside before. After getting on the horse, she concentrated on riding the horse and stopped wondering about the imperial family. who is it.But he didn't know that in the distant forest, a young man in Tsing Yi looked at her with a serious face on the horse through the leaves.

"Unexpectedly, Xiaoqi, you will also draw your sword to help when you see injustice." The young man in purple beside him said with emotion.

The man restrained his face slightly, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's also fortunate that the people under Brother Six are good at archery."

"That is, these guards under me have been specially trained. Next year, I will definitely come out on top. Xiao Qi, you must be on my team when the time comes. Your archery skills must be well practiced, so as not to delay I'm on my back."

"It is necessary to practice hard." Young Master Tsing Yi replied with some embarrassment, but his eyes were extremely serious.

"It's okay if you don't practice well. When the time comes, I will ask the people below to share a few with you, and I will say that you shot it. Okay, let's continue walking and see if there is any legendary blue bird in this mountain forest. Alas, I don't know." Where did you get the news, you have been away for several days..."

Under the complaints of the young man in purple, the young man in Tsing Yi looked away, and continued to wander and search with him in the mountains and forests.After another day or two, he should persuade Sixth Brother to give up, anyway, there are no blue birds in this mountain.

How many chance encounters in this world are actually the painstaking efforts of people with a heart.
