CHAPTER 65
Dead.
"I want to go outside the palace. Xiyan said to Yan Tianmu. He was visiting her every few days now, so she didn't worry about the pain coming in. She looked at Yan Tianmu wistfully.
In the past few months, Lei Xiao has not been here once. is in a remote palace, and the beauties offered from all over the world are gradually increasing, and I can't think of her anymore. This husband, who was shared with others, disappeared from her life silently. All that's left is a lonely courtyard with a new swing tied, and most of the time is spent trimming flowers and plants until nothing can be repaired. She never waited for the notice of the lifting of the ban, and for the fourth prince, his mother may have to be in a state of indefinite disease isolation forever. Seeing that there was no hope, she also gave up her thoughts. When there is no hope, then any news becomes good news.
"Is it boring?" Yan Tianmu grabbed her fingers and nibbled lightly on the edge of her mouth. There was an indescribable aroma on her hands.
"It's boring. Xiyan pouted, "It's so stuffy that I don't even know if I'm still breathing." "He can walk around all day, so he naturally feels sad without getting bored.
"Where do you want to go? I'll arrange it for you. He asked.
"Nothing particular to go, just to walk around the streets and see people. ”
"Did you sneak out of your house in the past?" Yan Tianmu suddenly remembered.
"Occasionally. Xiyan didn't hide it, "My father is strict, and he always locks me and my sister at home, and every day down, people will be stupid." ”
"I think you're making excuses for being playful. Yan Tianmu bit her hand and hugged her in his arms, "It's okay to go out, but you have to wear a curtain hat so as not to be seen by troubled people." ”
"Good. Xiyan smiled happily, God knows how much she wants to go out.
The streets in the capital are always bustling and full of fireworks in the world. Xiyan was alone, swaying around. The other man, who was also on the street at the moment, did not know that the path that fate had arranged for him had opened on such an ordinary day.
Han Lang held his head and resisted punches and kicks like raindrops. His father died young, and his mother abandoned him to remarry far away, and he had to live with his distant aunt. Han Lang's aunt's family sells steamed buns on the street, and the business is okay after working hard from morning to night. Han Lang started to help with work as soon as he walked, but he never had a full meal, he worked hard all day long, and he had to endure the beating and scolding of his aunt's family. Growing up in such an environment, Han Lang's personality is not distorted at all, in the eyes of his neighbors, he is a rare good child, kind and tenacious.
Han Lang straightened up, refusing to curl down and beg for mercy. This kind of performance made my uncle even more annoyed. Han Lang actually gave the beggar a steamed bun for nothing, what if the old woman was hungry for a few days? What does it matter to him if he starves to death. Take the things at home to be a good person, and it's strange if you don't kill him. The people around saw it and came over to persuade him, and the old beggar with the steamed bun on the side also knelt down and begged him not to beat the child anymore.
Xi Yan was looking at the clay figure in front of him, and when he heard a noise next to him, he was curious, so he walked over. She approached and found a stocky man screaming and punching and kicking a skinny boy, and a beggar with a steamed bun on his knees. She heard the discussion of the people around her again, and understood what was going on.
"Stop. Xiyan walked up behind the short and fat man, tapped him on the shoulder with the fan he had just bought, and said loudly.
"What's the matter with you?" the short and fat man interrupted, and snarled back in a very angry tone. But when he looked at it again, he stopped. He was not blind, and just by looking at his clothes, he knew that this was not someone he could offend. His face immediately changed color, and he said flatteringly, "Miss, you are talking to me." ”
His mouth was full of overnight bad breath, and Xiyan frowned under the curtain hat and took a few steps back. "How can you be heavy on a child? Who is he?"
"The helper at home. As soon as he spoke, boos erupted.
"Anyway, I also got some kisses, but I was ruthless. Someone in the crowd said disdainfully. After this voice fell, people began to talk about whether it was a short and fat man. The short and fat man was very annoyed. "Whatever you do, go, go. ”
Xiyan finally heard the relationship between them from everyone's discussions. She looked at the little boy, who was kneeling with his back to the crowd, blood on the ground in front of him. How can she stop the gangty man's brutality now, but after she leaves, he will inevitably be tortured. She walked over and crouched down in front of the boy, gently propping up his head, and he dodged, but the pain kept him from struggling too much. Xiyan took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the blood between his mouth and nose.
"It hurts. She asked softly. Before Han Lang realized what was going on, he nodded mechanically. The smell of her handkerchief penetrated his nose, and the aroma soothed his aching body, and he gradually relaxed. The sounds around him seemed to have completely disappeared, everything froze, and he could only feel the tenderness in her hand and the smell of the veil. Her face was shadowed behind the curtain, but the tenderness and pity in her eyes were so strong that he sensed it. It was the first time since he could remember to be treated so warmly by a person.
Xiyan wiped his face, struggling in her heart, she had to make a decision, what to do. His lowered head finally lifted unnaturally. A pair of clear eyes, even the rolling tears are so bright. The moment Xiyan looked at him, he made up his mind. Either way, she's going to take him away.
"You get up first. She pulled him up from the ground, kneeling for too long, he was still a little unsteady, Xiyan wanted to help him, but he avoided it, stubbornly standing by himself.
"I'm going to take him away, how about you want to let him go?" Xiyan said straight to the point to the short and fat man. When the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes rolled around.
"I'm not going with you. Han Lang on the side spoke. Uncle will never defend the country against any money-making opportunities that can be obtained, and he can't let the people who helped him suffer any more.
Xiyan looked down at him, his height was only to her chest, but I heard the people around him just now say that he should be more than 10 years old, but he looks thin and weak, even a 7 or 8-year-old child is not as good. She looked him in the eye, and somehow, she could read his inner thoughts, he wanted to leave, but he didn't want to bother her. Such a strange feeling made her eyes droop. She patted him on the shoulder soothingly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”
"Have you thought about it?" asked the man again.
"We have raised him for so many years, and now we can finally help him. What will we do if you take him away?" he said as he watched Yuyan's reaction.
Xiyan listened motionlessly to his gushing complaints.
"You make an offer. She interrupted him and asked directly.
The short and fat man carefully said the number, and Xiyan listened to it and agreed very simply. "Since I bought him, he will be a member of my family from now on, and he will have nothing to do with you again, understand?" she took the money out of her bosom and threw it into his arms.
The short and fat man hurriedly bit his teeth and smiled and agreed, "That's, that's." ”
"Let's go. Xiyan said softly to the boy. Seeing that he was not moving, he took his hand and dragged him away with his awkwardness.
A woman in brocade pulled a ragged child, and disappeared from everyone's sight as if no one was around. The short and fat man was so happy, a drag oil bottle was worth so much money, he really didn't know what kind of good luck he had paid. If I wanted more, I should have given it, but it's a pity to think about it. But no matter what, it's always a burden. He doesn't care how others are pointing behind his back.
Xiyan took him to buy clothes. Han Lang stubbornly refused. In the end, she forced him to accept it.
"What kind of place is this?" Xiyan looked around curiously, she asked him to find a place to change clothes, and he took her here. An earthen house on the edge of the city, surrounded by some collapsed houses, ruined and ruined. This room is still sturdy, and it shouldn't collapse for the time being.
"It's where I used to live. Han Lang whispered. There wasn't even a broken stool in the house, and after searching for a long time, he only found a few pieces of earth. Will she sit?
"Oh. Xiyan didn't ask any more, she noticed that he had moved a few pieces of earth, and put some straw on them, "Do you want me to sit on it?"
"Yes. He nodded.
Xiyan walked over and sat down carefully. "I'm really tired after walking so far. Thank you. ”
Hearing his words, Han Lang smiled a little shyly.
"You go inside and change your clothes. Xiyan pointed to another room, "I'll wait for you here." ”
While she was waiting, Han Lang not only changed her clothes, but also drew water to wash off the dirt all over her body. When he stood in front of Xiyan in a refreshing body, her eyes suddenly lit up, and it turned out that there was such a cute child hidden under the ragged clothes.
"That's good. Xiyan looked at him happily. The craftsman's mood of discovering jade from the stone may be no more than that. "Come and sit. She moved to the side, making room for him. Han Lang hesitated, and when he saw her nodding, he sat down. As soon as he sat down, the scent of her body lingered with him, which he could not describe, but he could feel the warmth hidden in the smell.
"What's your name?" Xiyan looked sideways at him.
"Han Lang. He said clearly. "Sunny Lang. ”
"Han Lang. She repeated, "I see." She reached out and pulled up the tulle, "I'm Xiyan, Gu Xiyan." ”
She was the best-looking person he'd ever met. He stared blankly at her.
"What's wrong?" Xiyan shook his hand in front of his eyes, "Is there something wrong?"
Han Lang was startled for a moment, and quickly lowered his head, ashamed of his recklessness just now.
Xi Yan smiled knowingly, "Do you think I'm good-looking?" Han Lang nodded lightly.
"As for me, in fact, it is just ordinary and beautiful, and the real beauty is many times more beautiful than me. She said in a serious tone. "But," she turned, "I'm just right, what do you say?" she teased him. His ears were red. It's a bit too much to play tricks on children, but it's a lot of fun.
"Yes. Han Lang nodded stiffly. She was different from the girls he had ever seen, not only in terms of her appearance, but also in the way she spoke and the way she did things. Looks like a man. He was so frightened by his own thoughts that he almost laughed.
