Chapter 1: Not Dead
The sun was setting, and the afterglow was scattered all over the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dappled light and shadow illuminate the pottery mansion full of houses and mansions, like a layer of golden bright edges, making the small building that is a luxurious scale look more quiet and peaceful.
But at this time, at the back of the mansion, a sharp voice pierced the silence of the mansion.
"Ah......h Miss, do you think this is a house where people live?"
A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was standing in front of the door of a courtyard with her hands on her hips, looking at everything in front of her in amazement.
Dilapidated houses, deserted courtyards.
The paper on the window lattice had long since become strips, as if it had been scratched by a cat.
The little girl was so angry that her face was pale, and she didn't know what to say, and when she saw a touch of red silk hanging on the door inside, she said in astonishment:
"Miss, let's go quickly, this house can't be inhabited, let's go"
After the little girl finished speaking, she made a hen shape and stretched out her hand to stop the person who was about to enter behind her.
"If you don't live here, you can live there, wait for me to see"
A small sound, but like a stone thrown into the middle of the lake, the surroundings suddenly stabilized.
The little girl was like a deflated ball, pouting and standing aside.
After the voice, I saw a young girl in a coarse cloth robe enter through the courtyard gate.
The girl is tall, her cheeks are round, her skin is warm and fair, her eyes are clear, and although she is not as good as the girl in front of her, she is calm and relaxed.
He looked at everything in front of him with a flat face, neither surprised nor sad.
The girl stepped into the courtyard, pushed the door into the house one after another, looked around inside and out, and said, "This house is fine, and there are still people to live in it."
She's lived in a place that couldn't be more unbearable than this, let alone here!
The little girl said with tears in the corners of her eyes: "Miss has died here, and she can't live in anyone's house, so they treat us as private."
"It's okay, I think it's okay, the house that has died is nothing, come in and clean up!"
The girl's face was faint, and she looked at the sunset that was about to set.
When the little girl heard this, big tears rolled down her eyes, but she didn't cry.
When did the young lady become like this, it must have been because of the old lady's death and excessive grief.
The girl saw that the little girl began to cry and wipe her tears, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile and said:
"What is there to cry about, I think this place is okay"
"Miss......" The little girl said somehow, wondering if this was still her miss?
Her young lady has never been the same, vigorous and resolute, if she was bullied and took the whip back, how could she bow her head so casually and beg for satisfaction.
The little girl cried even harder.
Miss saw the little girl crying non-stop, like tears can't stop sighing in her heart, she is finally reborn as a human being, and she is a newcomer, how to be strong and self-defeating, she can only take a look first.
The little girl cut into the house sadly, and when she saw the luggage on the ground, she felt a sour feeling in her heart.
The young lady of their family is a golden branch and jade leaf, a serious concubine, and the most noble woman in the house, how can she live in such a house? If the old lady had not been sick, he would have sought justice for the young lady.
The house is not even two small rooms, only the size of the ear room elsewhere.
However, there are some necessities for life, which can be improvised.
After everything was sorted out, the little girl went out to get food, and the young lady in front of her sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
It's all dreamlike, it's not real.
She is obviously dead, but she came here when she opened her eyes, and she is still alive, although she has changed her person and identity, but her mind and her soul are still there, this kind of unbelievable thing is really unbelievable.
Xiao Xiu'er remembered how she died again.
It was on a quiet night that a group of Assassins broke into her courtyard and killed and cut down anyone they saw.
She fought with this group of thieves for half an hour at night, and then was slashed to death due to lack of physical strength.
She didn't know if they had killed her aunt later, but she guessed they weren't.
Because my aunt's yard lives at the back of the mansion, there is a considerable distance from her.
There are also several master guards in the mansion, and it is impossible not to alarm the hidden guards in the distance when there is such a big disturbance in her small courtyard, although these assassins have high martial arts, but the hidden guards are not bad at all.
Auntie will be fine, she thought.
When the little girl came back happily, she asked directly:
"Qingzhu, do you know if there is anything going on in Prime Minister Xiao's Mansion in the capital?"
The little girl was very happy, but her mother in the kitchen said that there was half a plate of chicken left over for lunch, and she was just going to warm it up and take it away.
She wanted to come back and tell Miss about this, saying that these people still looked up to her, but when she heard that Miss actually asked about the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, she said in surprise:
"Miss, what are you asking for?"
"You don't care about this for now, find someone to ask me about it."
Although the little girl is usually weird, she obeys her own young lady, and she doesn't refute one or two more, and walks away.
After a short time, the little girl came back again, "Miss, I asked you, nothing happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Xiu'er was taken aback.
"Really Miss, don't you remember the little maid Wang Er next to the second master? He went to the capital a few days ago to send some things to the second young master, and he just arrived home yesterday, and I went to ask him just now, and he replied to me like this."
Although Xiao Xiu'er guessed that her aunt would be fine, but these people killed her, how could the Prime Minister's Mansion be fine!
Besides, my aunt knew that she was dead, and she would definitely fight with that person, and she was very worried about her aunt's safety.
Unbelieving asked again, "Is it really okay?" Nothing?"
"Really Miss, you know, that Wang Er is a little ...... to me That's what he means, he won't lie to me."
The little girl blushed and patted her chest to make a guarantee.
Xiao Xiu'er didn't want anything to happen, but it was a little strange that there was nothing at all.
Although she is the unfavored concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was assassinated at night and really died. It's impossible for no one to know about this kind of unsightly and strange thing.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is close to the imperial city, and it is a high-ranking mansion, and the people like to peek into the secrets of the high gate.
There are dead people in such a house, and it is impossible for there to be no rumors at all.
That little guy happened to be in the capital these days, so it was even more impossible that he hadn't heard of it.
The time of her own death and the time she came here were still the same day, and there was not the slightest difference in time, so how could she not have heard of it!
Wang Er still likes the girl Qingzhu in front of him, and it is impossible to lie when he knows it.
After all, the masses are curious about the superiors, and they will talk about it if they have nothing to do, not to mention that there is a death in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Xiao Xiu'er was puzzled, her heart was irritable, and she got up and got out of bed.
As soon as I sat up, I felt a chill in my chest.
She touched it with her hand, and it turned out to be a small pendant around her neck, which she was about to take out and look at carefully, and was shocked again.
The pendant is a whole turquoise, with a thick bottom and a small mouth, like a small bottle, cold to the touch, knotted and strung with gold threads, this thing she is very familiar with.
This is what she accidentally saved before, and that person had to give it to her, saying that it could save her life at a critical moment.
But this is what she used to be, and she should be wiped out with that body, how can she be on this body.
Then she suddenly remembered that before she died, it seemed that this thing was heating up, and before she lost consciousness, this thing had become extremely hot, could this little pendant really be as the man said, save her life and come to this body with her?
Xiao Xiuer felt incredible, and things were even more incredible.
The person who was already dead did not die, but came to another place on the same day and became a different person.
She didn't believe anything she wouldn't believe if she hadn't experienced it herself.
This is the white city north of the capital, and the gap between the two is thousands of miles away.
This body is Tao Xiushui, the daughter of the wealthy merchant Tao Da in Baicheng, and was born to his former wife.
It seems that it was because of something that annoyed the stepmother.,I was kicked here.。
Xiao Xiu'er didn't ask about these things, they were all chattered by the little girl next to her.
Why did nothing happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and why didn't everyone know about his death.
Xiao Xiu'er thought strangely in her heart for a few days and quickly made a decision.
She wants to go back to the capital, back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, to see if her aunt is still well, and to see if she is really dead before.
……
……
At night, at the beginning of the moon, Xiao Xiu'er, no, Tao Xiushui couldn't lie down in the house.
In the past, she lived a miserable life, and because she was afraid that her aunt would suffer, she didn't dare to come out in anything, so she had to hide it.
Now that she has relived her life, she has changed as a person, and without the ties of her relatives, she wants to live a more wanton life.
When my heart moved, I wanted to return to the capital at this moment.
There are a total of two main houses here, one for her and the little girl Qingzhu.
When I heard that there was no movement in the next room, I knew that this man must be asleep.
I got up from the bed in a hurry, looked around the room, and found nothing of value, so I only got a small cloth bag, packed two sets of clothes, and left penniless.
She has never been out of the house once, and she doesn't know the gate of the house, she only asked Qingzhu before, this side is closest to the courtyard wall, and the little girl replied to the east.
So she kept going east, as long as she found the courtyard wall, and then she could fly out without a ladder.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion before, I didn't use this trick to sneak out of the door, no matter how high the courtyard wall of the Tao Mansion was, it could not be as high as the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital.
Tao Xiushui has never been out, and she doesn't know what is on the east side of the small house she lives in, and as soon as she goes out, there is a dense forest not far to the east.
There are still a few lights in the verandah in the distance, and the shadows shine on this side, and you can see the road clearly.
She guessed that the forest wouldn't be too long, and it might only be used for viewing.
There are also a few dead branches and leaves on the ground, and sometimes there will be a sound when you step on it.
She was afraid of being heard, so she walked very lightly and carefully.
Originally, she expected to walk fast, but she ignored the physique of this body, and after a long time, these feet were not very obedient, and she couldn't walk fast if she wanted to.
The night was quiet, and the only sounds in the woods were the sound of her walking and the sound of fierce wheezing.
Tao Xiushui walked nearly half a pillar of incense before reaching the end of the forest, there were fine beads of sweat overflowing on his forehead, tired and hot, after a little rest, he looked up and saw the high courtyard wall standing not far away.
With joy in his heart, Qingzhu was really right, although it was not close to the courtyard wall, it was not too far.
She ran over happily, thinking that she could fly up and out of the Tao Mansion as soon as she lifted her breath.
But the truth is cruel, she lifted her anger several times in a row, but she felt that this body was extremely heavy, and she could only lift her feet slightly off the ground, and she couldn't even reach half of the courtyard wall.
She was unwilling, and tried more than a dozen times in a row, but she felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and finally she was so tired that she couldn't get up and sit on the ground.
People who can't even jump over the big wall, let alone walk back to the capital, this idea is tantamount to a fool's dream, and secretly hates that this body is too weak.
Tao Xiushui was unwilling to walk back to the small house again, and he couldn't fly up, but fortunately he rested by the wall.
At this time, it was midnight in the middle of the moon, and it was even quieter in Taofu, only to hear the sound of the night watchman tapping the stick in the distance.
It seems that if you want to get out of the Tao Mansion, you have to practice your previous body.
In the past, she didn't say that she was steel, and it was almost the same.
I made up my mind to go back.
At this time, it was just early summer, the ground was not cold at all, and her body was extremely sore, and she was about to get up by holding on to the wall.
At this moment, a killing voice sounded behind him, and a cold blade touched his neck one after another.
"Don't move, it's better not to scream"
It's a man.
Tao Xiushui was taken aback, could it be that she had met the assassin again, she had come back to life so easily, and she didn't want to die yet.
"Shaoxia, I listen to you, I don't move, but your knife ......"
If only she hadn't been so aggrieved before.
"Don't worry, as long as you're obedient, go, go to your room" The voice was arrogant, with an irresistible domineering.
Tao Xiushui could only nod his head.
At this time, I heard a low voice outside the wall, "This person is seriously injured and can't run far, so he is sure to be nearby, give me a good search"
"Yes"
The sound was followed by the sound of footsteps scattered outward.
Tao Xiushui didn't dare to look back, feeling that this person was being chased and killed, and he didn't know that he was a good person or a bad person, and secretly sighed that he was unlucky, he didn't run out of Tao's mansion, but met a bandit.
If you want to reach out before, you must fight to the death.
But this body is weak and weak, even if this person is injured, she will definitely not be able to beat it.
Listen to the tone of this man's voice, and you will know that he is not a good kind.
The voice is cold and has no temperature.
"Go"
Tao Xiushui walked forward with a light footstep, hoping that people outside the courtyard wall would find this place.
But things didn't go as she thought, until she led the man to the courtyard where she lived, and no one chased after her.
These idiots.
A wall away, I can't find it yet.
In desperation, Tao Xiushui had no choice but to lead this person into the house.
It was nearly midnight, and the moonlight poured into the house.
She didn't dare to light the lamp, but only said to this person:
"This is where I live, I don't know what the young man is doing?"
After the words, her whole body tensed, thinking that this person must not be a disciple, otherwise she will fight with him.
The man didn't make any extra moves, and took out a porcelain bottle from his chest with the other hand and put it on the table, "Help me with medicine"
Tao Xiushui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, why didn't she say this earlier, startled her.
"Young Hero...... Is your knife ...... It's time to take it, or I won't be able to help you with the medicine. ”
The knife around her neck was still against her, not daring to move in the slightest.
"You'd better not play tricks, or you'll know ......"
The man's tone was cold, making people shudder.
"Heh, don't dare, don't dare" Tao Xiushui said with a faint smile.
"Don't dare to be the best" The man retracted the blade with a swipe and sat down at the table.
Tao Xiushui touched his delicate neck, fortunately, this person didn't come.
She turned cautiously and saw the man's face through the moonlight outside the window.
I saw that this man was tall, and when he sat down at the table, he suddenly felt that the table was a little shorter.
His eyes were bright and dark, some like the brightest stars in the dark sky, his nose was as straight as a hook, and his lips were not thin or thick, but they were tightly pursed, illuminated by the moonlight, and smeared with a mystery.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't give me medicine yet"
Tao Xiushui looked at this handsome face a little distracted, and was awakened by this shout.
She cautiously walked over and realized that the man's back was stained with dark black.
There was a strong smell of blood, which made people uncomfortable.
It seems that the man is not very wounded.
She didn't care about 3721, took off all the clothes on this person's upper body, and poured most of the entire bottle of gold sore medicine into the whole bottle before she covered all the knife wounds that ran through her entire back and turned out on both sides.
The wound was deep and bone-piercing, terrifying, and still bleeding.
When she was done, she found a clean coarse cloth to wrap the man tightly.
Although he was forced, he helped all the helpers, and he no longer cared about this coarse cloth.
"Okay"
Tao Xiushui helped her dress neatly, and then she washed her bloodstained hands and continued:
"You can go! I'm going to sleep."
She saw the man sit at the table with his eyes slightly closed and silent, and reminded him again.
This person's appearance can't be a disciple, that is, let her help bandage the wound, and now that it's done, she shouldn't be allowed to do anything more.
After a while, the man on the other side did not reply.
Tao Xiushui looked at this person's pale face, thinking that this person would not be bad!
Hurried over to probe the man's snort, which would be troublesome enough for a dead man to appear in her house.
But before he could reach his hand, he was grabbed by a strong arm as soon as he reached the man's face.
"I'm afraid you're not breathing, so ......," she hastened to explain.
"Be nosy, so that you can live longer"
The man shook Tao Xiushui's arm without appreciation.
She gritted her teeth in anger, hiding the anger in her heart, and said flatly:
"Then I'm done with the young man, shouldn't you go?"
The man's face was expressionless, and when he heard this, he looked back, "I'll leave tomorrow night"
"What, tomorrow night?"
Tao Xiushui was taken aback, this person was going to hold it until tomorrow night.
The man looked up at the window, his eyes were shining brightly in the moonlight, he stopped talking, got up from the stool, turned his head and walked directly to Tao Xiushui's bed, and lay down properly.
"You ......" Tao Xiushui was so angry that she didn't know what to say, this person's body was covered with blood, and he even went to her bed.
If she had been in the past, she would have endured and not be angry, but now she is distorted by this person.
"You...... Come and lie down," the man called to her.
Tao Xiushui knew that this person was afraid that she would run away and report the news.
"I'm not leaving, just sit here"
She didn't want to lie down with this man.
"Don't make me say it a second time"
The attitude is arrogant, and he is so angry that he wants to do it back.
Tao Xiushui took a deep breath and said coldly:
"We are lonely men and widows, how can we ...... Lie together," she tried to explain, not wanting to anger the man.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your looks"
The man didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm and insult.
"You ......" a bastard, and I'll call you good-looking later.
Tao Xiushui had to scold people in his heart, his skills were not as good as others at this time, so he had to be wronged.
In the past, she often bowed her head and begged for satisfaction, and that was for her aunt.
Now my aunt is not around, but she cares about life and death.
Only when we have tasted death can we know the preciousness of life.
She walked over with her steps, and saw the man lying outside, and said:
"You lie inside, you're afraid in case someone comes in......"
When the man heard this, he really moved in.
Tao Xiushui saw that the small bed that could only accommodate one person had to lie down with one more person, and she was panting.
Usually she sleeps by herself, but now there is one more person, and it is obviously crowded.
"Lie down"
The man lost some patience.
Tao Xiushui's heart was crossed, thinking that it was impossible for this person to violate her if he was injured anyway.
I had to take another quilt and lie on the outside.
Although the bed is small, the bodies of the two will occasionally bump into one place.
However, at this time, it is not so uncomfortable to be separated by a quilt.
Tao Xiushui was still afraid of guts, but he didn't expect the sleepiness in his brain to overcome everything, and he fell asleep in a daze.
Sunshine said
A new book is opened, asking for support.
