Chapter 006: Those who come are not good
said that when Zhang Jiabao and his party went out, Qi Luomin stayed alone in the wing, quietly looking at the skylight.
The world is impermanent, and the husband and wife of ten years are opposite, and the yin and yang are separated by one day. The dust that filled the whole world seemed to bring people into nightmares, and there were wails everywhere. The sight is shattered, and all the houses are not left with corpses, and there is no way to identify the way back. The survivors survived the initial fear, sorrow, and hesitation, and the gradual rush of hunger led them to wander, picking up whatever they could fill their stomachs.
They dug through the rubble, and occasionally found some seriously wounded, and the well-meaning people dug them out and left them to fend for themselves.
When the faint cries for help were heard too much, their minds became numb. Zilomin had seen a man buried almost entirely in the rocks, with only the head and half of his shoulders exposed. The flesh of his arm was shoveled open by Shi Feng, revealing the piercing white bones. A piece of his scalp had been sliced off by the door panel, and the blood that flowed down and his tears and snot, mixed with dust and dirt, scabbed over the wounds on his face, large and small. The flies swirled over the blood scabs, but he didn't have the will or strength to get rid of them. This was the most tragic appearance that Qi Luomin had ever seen.
She watched from a short distance, the man's chapped lips twitched slightly, and then the lame middle-aged man in front of him raised the stone in his hand...... Qi Luomin hurriedly covered Shangguan Naiya's eyes. There was a dull sound, like a stone falling on a wood, and it turned out that people could be silent when they withered.
The lame man got a few rocks and completely buried the man he had stoned, clapped his hands and limped away, and when he came to the mother and daughter, he said indifferently: "He begged me to give him a good time." ”
The victims fled in an orderly manner, gradually escalating into looting and plundering, and even launching riots against the homes of those who were not seriously damaged. Qi Luomin relied on the strength of his cultivator to finally survive until dawn.
The government sent troops to suppress the people who had been affected by the disaster, and directed them to gather at the makeshift relief center. Women and children are given priority to live in shanty towns, while men camp in the open. Zilomin's mother and daughter were fortunate enough to be placed in one of the few tent areas.
More than a dozen cauldrons were set up in the camp and gruel was boiling. Each person was given a bowl and queued up to get it. A strong man would rather be whipped than take a position at the front. A child whose bowl fell to the ground and shattered in the crowd, howling and crying outside the line but no one paid attention, Zilomin couldn't bear to give him his bowl. He and Shangguan Naiya received a bowl of porridge, only drank one sip of it, and lasted a day hungry.
When it was dark, someone threw a bag of dried buns into Qi Luomin's small tent, and Qi Luomin didn't care which kind person was helping her, and the mother and son devoured it and fell asleep with a tired hug.
In a daze, Zi Luo was sensitive to a pair of large fleshy hands touching the base of her thighs from her calves, and she grabbed the hand. In front of him was a fat-eared official, and he didn't know how to break in by hiding from the soldiers on duty in the tent area.
"Hehe, why is the lady so excited, without me, you will be so hungry that you can't sleep tonight. The fat officer whispered with a smile. He put his big plush hand on Qi Luomin's shoulder without hurry, "If you obey me tonight, after I finish the affairs here, I will marry you and welcome you into the door to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”
The fat official's hand touched Qi Luomin's thin face, disgusting like a caterpillar, "If you don't obey me, then it doesn't matter, I'll go out right away and act as if nothing happened." But as long as you mother and daughter are still here for a day, don't think about getting a little bit of food. If you want to leave here, I won't stop you, there is chaos outside, and you can't judge whether orphans and widows live or not. ”
Qi Luomin has been a husband and a child for many years, and she has long lost the bloodiness she had when she cultivated her true spirit when she was young, and she only felt that her mind was chaotic when she was humiliated like this at this time. The longing for her past life, the resentment of fate, and the confusion about the future occupied her heart, allowing the fat official to crush herself to the ground like a pig.
"Lady, I really like you. The fat official shuddered and unbuttoned Qi Luomin's dress, sniffing between her hair and neck, the residual fragrance and the smell of body sweat mixed together, making him excited, "Grandma's, it smells much better than those dirty mothers-in-law." ”
Stripped off the last line of defense on her, the fat officer began to attack the city with weapons, tried several times and failed to open the city gate, so he spit out a mouthful of saliva and wiped it, and the moment he entered, he trembled with comfort.
"Quick, shout, make Lao Tzu a little more refreshing. The fat officer roared. When he looked up, he saw Qi Luomin's extremely disgusted eyes. "," the fat officer slapped her hard, "what do you mean by your dead fish-like eyes?"
"Wow...... Wow, who are you, why are you bullying my mother? I'll kill you......" But Shangguan Naiya was awakened, and saw that her mother was being pressed under him by a strange man and slapped by him, and immediately burst into tears, smashing the fat official's head with a small fist.
"You're tired of life, huh, dare to stir up Lao Tzu's fun!" The fat official got up and lifted his pants, angrily pinched Shangguan Naiya's neck, and slapped her little face.
Qi Luomin seemed to be recalled by his daughter's cry, and felt ashamed and indignant for his cowardice and shamelessness, and was even more angry when he saw this dog official beating his daughter like this, and he couldn't care about tidying up his clothes.
The fat officer's fat face was purple and red, and his eyes bulged out as if they were about to be squeezed out. The desire to survive made him try his last strength to break free of the slender palms around his neck, but to no avail.
In a few moments, the fat official was like a duck that had been strangled, his head tilted to the side. Zilomin threw the body down and kicked him hard in the crotch. Picking up his daughter, who was still in panic, he jumped to the stable like a light swallow, stole a horse, and before the guards could react, he rushed out of the camp gate and headed south.
Because he didn't know how big the official he had killed, Qi Luomin didn't dare to stop for a moment, and drove his horse to the south day and night for three or four days, only resting a few times on the way, begging for some food.
When he arrived at Guang'an Mansion in Qingping Prefecture, the horse was almost dying, so Qi Luomin had to dismount with his daughter and lead it to the nearest market. People on the street cast curious glances at the mother and daughter, who spoke with very different accents, were dusty and tattered. A butcher offered three silver dollars to a horse that had fallen to the ground foaming at the mouth. Qi Luomin asked for five silver dollars, and the butcher said that the sick and dead horse was bought at a loss, and the tired horse was worthless, so he shook his head and left.
I sat like a beggar in the market for a long time, until it was almost dark, when a young man who was doing business appeared, and brought the mother and daughter back to the Zhang clan, and the patriarch said that his son needed playmates of the same age, so he left them behind, and lived such a peaceful and peaceful day. Although they are slaves and maids for others, but this family treats them as relatives, Qi Luomin feels that this is a rare haven of happiness in the vague troubled times, but he doesn't know how long this happiness will last.
The dim moonlight outside the window is as desirable and unpredictable as her future.
"Knock, knock. There was a knock at the door. "Mrs. Qi, it's me, can you come in?"
Qi Luomin hurriedly retracted his thoughts, got up and welcomed the distinguished guest into the door, "The slave family has seen Engong, Engong, please come in." ”
The person who came was Zhang Jiacheng, a handsome and tall young man. About 244 years old, he is Zhang Jiabao's cousin, and the two are the same grandfather. At present, most of the Zhang clan's business in the town is controlled by him, including more than a dozen shops and several large workshops, so Zhang Jiacheng can be regarded as young and promising. Zilomin's mother and daughter were brought back by him when he passed by the market.
"Eun Gong, please have tea. Qi Luomin served tea to Zhang Jiacheng very decently, "It's just coarse tea and old tea, and I hope Engong won't be surprised." ”
"Mrs. Qi doesn't have to call me Engong, call me Jiacheng, and we will all be a family in the future. Zhang Jiacheng looked around at the environment in the room, "Are you still used to living here, just tell me what you lack, you don't need to be polite." ”
"I'll still call you Young Master Cheng," Qi Luomin smiled, "Master, Madame and Little Master have treated us very well, Young Master Xie Cheng cares." ”
"Well, that's good. Zhang Jiacheng bowed his head and said, "It's just that it's a bit condescending to let you do chores in this Zhang family's mansion, I'll discuss with my uncle another day and arrange a more decent errand for you, it just so happens that I lack a helper in my business." I don't know what Sister Qi thinks?"
Qi Luomin stroked the hair between his sideburns, a little embarrassed, "Engong is too elevated to the slave family, the slave family has always only done some household chores, where do you know how to do business?"
There was a moment of silence. Zhang Jiacheng stared at Qi Luomin's silkworm-like eyes, and Qi Luomin deliberately avoided it. The flickering light made her serene and soft face flicker and darken, shining on her fair neck to form a seductive halo, and her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, as if she could see more whiteness when she lifted it. This is a woman who exudes maturity all over her body.
Zhang Jiacheng's heart was surging, his lower abdomen was hot, and he grasped Qi Luomin's softness, "Why don't you dare to look at me? Since I, Zhang Jiacheng, have brought you back, I should give you a better life." What's so good about being a cow and a horse for your uncle's family, it's better to go out with me to fight the world. ”
The soft and warm touch in his hand made Zhang Jiacheng rise more and more, he saw that Qi Luomin just twisted his head to the side and did not resist, so he had to go around behind her inch by inch, hugged her, and the hard and hot object in his lower abdomen did not shy away from pressing against her buttocks, "I swear, as long as you follow me, I will make you happy." I'm going to take care of you for the rest of your life!"
"Engong!" Qi Luomin broke free, and Zhang Jiacheng fell to the ground in embarrassment. "I am very grateful to you for my kindness, even if you go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, I will definitely repay you. It's not too early, the girl should be back soon, so Engong should go back and rest early. ”
"It's Jiacheng who is abrupt, and he is not polite, and he still looks at Sister Qi Haihan. Zhang Jiacheng stood up and apologized to Qi Luomin, and returned to his personable appearance, "Sister Qi also rested early, and Jiacheng said goodbye." ”
When he went out, Zhang Jiacheng's face was gloomy, and he scolded in his heart: "Phew, what are you pretending to be high." I should have found someone to arrest your mother and daughter in the Qinglou, and sell meat in one big and one small. ”
