In a time of great calamity and chaos, it is easy to die.

In the 80 years of the great summer calendar, Fuzhou, the southernmost part of the summer, has been continuously raining for three months without stopping. Heze lakes, streams and rivers are all filled with water, causing floods once in a thousand years. Countless villages and towns have been submerged, and hundreds of millions of people have been displaced and homeless.

At this time, when the summer recaptured the yulongguan pass, countless troops were thrown into the endless mountain, resulting in domestic emptiness, Fuzhou victims everywhere, complete chaos!

At this time, shunzhou, which is adjacent to Fuzhou, is still a peaceful scene, without any premonition of the coming crisis.

Shunzhou, Jingyang town.

There is a small mountain range between Fuzhou and shunzhou. Jingyang town is located in the west of shunzhou, just at the foot of the mountains. Because of the trade between the two states in the past, it is one of the most prosperous towns within a hundred miles.

It's hot in June. The southernmost end of summer is extremely hot and humid. It is often affected by the South China Sea breeze. The air is full of moisture. When the two are combined and move a little bit, you will get wet and sticky. So once the day is off, the most popular tea shop is herbal tea shop. Herbal tea is not expensive, and you can also talk about the land while quenching your thirst.

At this time, a herbal tea shop in the town was full of people. The ceiling made of giant plantain leaves unique to the South blocked the invasion of the hot sun, leaving a large shadow. On the tea table in the shadow, there were figures of one old and two small.

The old man was wearing a Confucian shirt which was quite common in the south of summer. His hair was white, but his face was ruddy. He put a wooden hairpin on his hair at random. He raised the teapot with his right hand and poured herbal tea to the two children in front of him. His action was natural and had a charm.

The young children in front of the old man are not very old. One of them has a face carved with powder and jade. Although she is also a simple cloth dress, she has a hidden noble spirit, which makes people dare not look directly. She just frowns when she drinks tea, and her calm eyes are young and mature.

The one on the edge is a big man with a tiger's head and brain, but he is as tall as an adult. His head is shiny and his water is very gentle and he swallows.

These three people group, appear ordinary, but not ordinary.

None of them spoke, listening to the conversation of the people around them.

"Have you heard that it is said that the heavy rain in Fuzhou has lasted for three months, and the flood has covered the sky, and countless people have died." A middle-aged tea customer nearby said.

"No one has come to Fuzhou in the West for a long time. Our porcelain business is becoming more and more difficult."

Another tea customer responded with a sad voice. Shunzhou porcelain is famous in summer, so most people in Jingyang town trade with porcelain more or less. Usually, the best place to sell is Fuzhou. Now the flood in Fuzhou has formed a series of chain reactions.

"Shigong, didn't the imperial court send people to relieve the flood in Fuzhou?" She put down her tea bowl, frowned and asked.

"The South China Sea, the southernmost tip of summer, has always been peaceful. Therefore, there are few troops stationed in Fu and Shun prefectures, and there is a decisive battle at Yulong pass in endless mountains. Therefore, the number of troops that can be transferred is very limited. When the battle of yulongguan is over, the court can spare no effort to relieve the disaster. However, the urgent task is to stop the rainfall in Fuzhou."

The old man put down the tea bowl and the mellow voice rang out.

"Did Si Tianjian find out the cause of the continuous rainfall?" The baby continued to ask.

"It is found out that we have found out, but the remaining Si Tian Jian of these two states has been exhausted and unable to deal with it, so we are here for this matter."

The baby nodded, then stopped talking and went on drinking tea.

"The porcelain shops in the town are not doing well these days, but it is a strange thing that one of them has not been affected at all." Maybe the topic of the flood was too heavy, and the tea guests changed the topic.

"You mean the one next to that ugly girl's shop in the east of town?" A young man who knew about it agreed.

"Yes, you say that shop is lucky. There is a fool in the next room. All the porcelain produced by the same kiln is sold for eight Wen. That fool must sell one or two, and it is the first and second room in the street. When the foreign customers ask, the price difference is so big that they pay for the cheap one after another, and the shop behind them doesn't ask. That fool is really It's strange. I haven't got a cent on weekdays. I've been selling for a year, but I haven't closed the door yet. But she's a very ugly looking woman. She's plump. But this face scares many people. It's a fantastic talk in our town. "

Tea guests began to talk about the situation, one after another around the ugly woman launched a discussion.

After hearing this, the old man opened his mouth and laughed, and the little girl carved with powder jade directly said, "Sir, I want to meet that wonderful person. She is very interesting."

The old man nodded with a smile, and they left after checking out, and the bald little baby with tiger head and tiger brain rushed to keep up.

Jingyang town is not big. From the herbal tea shop with a burning sun, we went to the so-called porcelain street in the east of the town. Before we got to the excuse, we heard someone rush out of it and kept shouting: "kill, kill, ugly girl kill."

After hearing this, people around rushed to chinaware street, which immediately surrounded the whole street.The old man took the two little children and walked slowly to the crowd. The crowd blocked in front of him felt as if he had been blown by a gust of wind. Unconsciously, he separated a path to both sides, and then he closed up and scratched his head. It seemed that he was a little puzzled. How could he not listen to his steps.

There was some confusion at the corner of the chinaware street. A plump girl in black was sitting on the ground, slightly shaking. Her right hand was holding a dagger tightly, and blood was still falling on it. Beside her, a little girl in green clothes was kneeling. She was crying hard and her tears were pouring down.

But not far away, lying a broken clothes, pale and thin man, chest a big hole dripping blood, has turned blue, the breath has been gone.

The black dress girl's face is covered with ferocious scars, like centipedes climbing one by one, ferocious and terrifying, but her expression gradually returns to calm. Maybe it was just a fight that injured her leg, and she was unable to stand up. The black gauze originally used to cover her face fell in the distance, and she said to the weeping girl, "green, don't cry."

"But miss, I'm afraid. I can't help it." The little girl in green was so scared that she cried more loudly and kept shaking and sobbing.

"Let's go, let's let's go. The Garrison's captain Yu is here."

After hearing this, the crowd hurried to get out of the way. There was a sound of horse hooves. Led by a gloomy looking middle-aged man in armor, a total of five riders, all armed, dismounted at the street corner and strode to the field. The leader middle-aged captain looked at the veil that had fallen to the ground, revealing the ugly woman in black. He was stunned slightly, and then showed a meaningful smile and drove slowly "I didn't expect that the daughter of shunzhou prefect, who was suspected of collusion with the enemy, had been hiding for so many years and ruined her appearance. However, I met her unintentionally. The world is really a trick. Before that, I was just a little captain who wanted to see you once, but now I bumped into my hand and took it away!"

Several sergeants were just about to step forward. The girl in green, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, did not know where the courage came from. She opened her arms like a hen protecting her cubs, and stopped between them. She screamed and yelled: "no, I don't allow you to hurt miss. The master is framed, and the young lady is innocent."

"Green, get out of here." The voice of the girl in black came from behind. Although it was cold, it still felt exciting.

"No, miss, I know what they're up to. Even if it's death, I'll protect you."

The little girl in green remained unmoved. She looked at the sergeant in front of her, with hatred in her eyes. Then she continued to cry out: "this refugee broke into my shop without permission and wanted to be unfaithful to me. That's why the young lady came to save me and stabbed him to death. We are not guilty. Why should you take us away?"

There was an uproar among the people around. The girl in green was the shopkeeper of the second porcelain shop, while the girl in black was the first. Now, they are all confused.

"If I say you're guilty, you'll be guilty. If you're still dallying, you'll be taken away from me!"

The middle-aged captain looked impatient and let out a fierce roar.

The four sergeants pushed aside the green girl in front of her, and reached out to the woman in black sitting on the ground.

In this is, a young but mature voice sounded, resounding in all people's ears.

"Shigong, I think she is very interesting. I want her."

"Good." The old man next to the baby nodded. Then everything around him stopped. The wind stopped flowing. The cicada stopped calling. The sergeant held the girl's hand and stopped at the same time. All the onlookers were still. But the middle-aged captain's face was only frightened, but could not move at all.

At this time, only four people can move on the street, an old man, two little children, and a girl in black sitting on the ground.

The girl raised her scarred face and looked up. It was a pair of calm eyes. There was no disgust or pity. She just frowned slightly and looked very serious. She said faintly:

"the wood will rot and the blade will rust. But there is something in the world that will not be broken if you don't break it. Do you know what it is?"

The girl in black hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"porcelain."

"Do you want to be porcelain?" The young voice sounded again.

The girl nodded.

"Well, take this and give it to the sitianjian of shunzhou. When you go to Shenjing, someone will cure your face. How can a porcelain have a scar?"

The little girl who carved jade took off the jade pendant hanging from her waist and handed it to the girl. Then she turned around and left. There was a vivid Phoenix carved on the jade pendant!

In the next few days, a news spread all over the summer.

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

Zhao Yu was seven years old and crescent moon was seventeen.
