Chapter 1 Thunderstorms
I don't know when the sky is dark, the heavy rain flows down like water before people can react, the day has just warmed up in March, but such a sudden heavy rain also makes that little warmth instantly cold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This rain is also too evil, and the sun is still shining ahead, why does the sky become like this all of a sudden?" Some people complained in the streets, and they ran quickly with their coats, and the tavern was full of people, so that the eyes of the shopkeeper and the men narrowed into a slit, and the business on this rainy day was several times more than usual.
In a ruined temple outside the city, there is a pile of straw and rags in the corner, and there are two people lying on it, one person raises his head and looks at the outside of the broken temple, worried, seeing that her figure is obviously a woman, but she is unkempt, and her whole body is black, where can she see a little woman's appearance, she is not very old, she should only be eighteen or nineteen years old, her figure is tall, she is a teenager of about ten years old in her arms, the young man's face is red, obviously he has a high fever, but where can they ask for a doctor.
The woman looked at the pouring rain outside with an anxious face, she survived the winter, and finally waited for spring, but because of this sudden heavy rain, her younger brother was sick, God didn't want them to survive.
There were a few rolling thunders outside the house, and the young man in his arms writhed uneasily, and the woman hurriedly hugged him tightly and comforted: "Chen'er, don't be afraid, my sister is here, my sister is here."
The woman's voice was exceptionally good, like a silver bell ringing, and the young man in her arms slowly settled down.
There was a sound outside, mixed with people's discussions, the woman raised her head, and when she saw five or six beggars walking in outside, she quickly lowered her head, hugged her brother and shrank into the corner, and did not dare to say a word again.
The beggars came in wet and took off their wet clothes without regard to their image, and found a clean place to sit down.
"This day has become too fast, and before Lao Tzu can react, the rain will fall like beans!" One of the leaders complained.
"But no, we can't go into those restaurants to hide from the rain, those guys who look down on people look at us like flies."
A few people chatted babblingly, not noticing the two sisters and brothers in the corner.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The young man's face turned even redder, and he coughed heavily, and several beggars who were startled by the coughing sound were startled, and looked at the corner vigilantly, and a lightning bolt crossed the sky, just so that people could see that it was a pair of emaciated people, and they let down their guard in their hearts.
"Who are you?" A beggar stepped forward to inquire, and as soon as he finished speaking, a muffled thunder sounded behind him, frightening him.
The woman still lowered her head, holding the young man in her arms motionless. Her tightly tangled hair blocked her face, and she couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman because she was so thin.
"What do you ask?" The beggar became a little impatient, and went over and kicked the young man in her arms, and the young man snorted, and his brows were furrowed in pain.
"What are you doing!?" The woman raised her head, her voice was a little hoarse, and she stared at him viciously, and the beggar realized that this was actually a woman, but she was unkempt and had a scar on her face, and at this moment she was staring at him with anger on her face, as if she was going to eat him alive.
This look couldn't help but make him a little scared, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and then it sounded in front of him that it was just a pair of sisters and brothers who didn't have the slightest power to fight back, thinking of the embarrassment just now, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and slapped the woman in the face hard, scolding: "Who does your mother look at, and don't look at whose territory this is, can you be wild?"
She was a little dizzy from this slap, and before she could raise her head, the beggar kicked her leg again, and she arched herself in pain.
When did she fall to the point where this cheap grass was trampled on at will.
"Lin Xi, you have fallen to such a point today, it is all your own fault! Because you're stupid and have no cure, do you know? ”
She seemed to see the woman looking at her with a high spirit, her face full of disgust that could not be concealed, and her tone was a little happy, wishing that people would tear her apart.
Cold sweat fell from Lin Xi's forehead, and after the beggar kicked her, he ran to the front and shouted loudly: "Boss, it's a woman and a dying boy."
Woman!
A few people looked over there with inquiring faces, they beggars usually couldn't fill their stomachs, and where were there women for their pastime, even the cheapest woman in the kiln was not something they could think of.
"Boss, it's just that the girl is thin and weak, and her face is broken again." The beggar reminded aloud.
"Bring her here and I'll see!" What's the broken phase, it's not that you can't play, thinking like this, there is a little more obscene smile on your face.
Lin Xi didn't have the slightest ability to resist, so she was brought to those people, obviously knowing what they were thinking, Lin Xi crossed a trace of despair in her heart, and quietly pressed the dagger hidden close to her, she never thought about death these days, she was reluctant to let her brother die, she used to live secretly, running around with her younger brother, suffering cold eyes and ridicule, and she thought that she was not even as good as a rough maid in the mansion, no matter how desperate she never thought about death.
If she is going to die today, how can she struggle, it's just that, God won't let go of their siblings after all, it's enough to watch them jump, it's time to give them a slap to calm them down.
Lin Xi looked at these beggars, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, if he wants to harm me, then I will let you go to hell first!
"It's okay!" The beggar nodded with satisfaction, although her face was broken, the woman's eyes were very beautiful, and she had a temperament that they couldn't say, but like those rich ladies they had seen from afar, they thought it was funny after thinking about it, how could the rich lady fall to such a state now. Anyway, he can touch a woman today.
With an obscene smile on her face, the beggar didn't say a word, and directly pressed Lin Xi's to the ground, and a laugh came to mind, and the disgusting and smelly mouth came over, she only felt disgusting, and took out the dagger in her arms, and stabbed the man on her body without hesitation.
The beggar was defenseless, and he was shirtless again, and the knife was plunged straight between his chest and lungs.
She had little strength, the knife did not hit the vital point, and at the moment when he was in pain, she turned over and rode on her, the knife in her hand was pulled out and fell, without the slightest hesitation, and it pierced through the man's chest, and she didn't care if the blood splashed her body.
"Murder!!" I don't know who screamed, and those beggars looked at the fierce woman who was still pulling out the knife with a frightened face, and they couldn't care about any more thoughts, and rushed outside, but as soon as they rushed out, they screamed and fell.
A few people walked in outside, and Lin Xi looked at the man who couldn't die anymore and exhaled slowly.
She wiped the blood on her face with her hands, and slowly walked to the corner, thinking that she would pull a cushion for death, but she didn't expect these people to be so frightened, and smiled sarcastically, Lin Xi didn't seem to see the person walking in behind her, holding her brother motionless.
After a long silence, a man came up, dressed in a smock robe, and the rain fell from his body.
"Grandma, uncle asked me to take you back!" The man saluted Lin Xi and said.
No one spoke, there was silence.
"Young Master Lin has committed a serious crime, and the Holy Lord has sentenced Liu Xing, why should grandma be like this!" The man let out an inaudible sigh, even if it was Liuxing, it was better than being a beggar here.
"Xiao Feng, for saving your life, that's how you repay me? My brother? He's only ten years old, what can he know? Hearing this, Lin Xi raised his head fiercely, lowered his voice and roared angrily.
Xiao Feng's complexion changed, looking at the woman in front of her, she was unkempt, but there was a fire burning in her eyes, thinking of her former snow-skinned jade Rong, slender as a willow, looking at the scar on her face from the corner of her eyes to her chin, she felt a little breathless for a while.
"What's your name, how can you be beaten like this, don't worry, follow me in the future, you won't be beaten again" He was beaten and dying, lying on the ground waiting for death when she saved him, and now she is scattered into mud, but he wants to take it back to that place.
For the sake of a convicted younger brother, he gave up his brocade clothes and food, glory and wealth, and would rather be stepped on and trampled on, is it worth it?
He stared at the ground and said without the slightest emotion: "What are you talking about, grandma, uncle is worried about you every day, why do you want to practice yourself like this, does grandma think that beggars are more noble than grandma?"
"Worried? Hahaha!! Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder when you say this! Lin Xi looked at him and laughed sarcastically.
In an instant, the room was as bright as day, and the anger and sarcasm on the woman's face were clear. A thunderclap rang out outside the house, and the two were silent for a long time.
Lin Xi looked down at his younger brother in his arms, his face was flushed, and his forehead was hot.
"I want you to grant me a request!" After being silent for a long time, Lin Xi looked at him and said fixedly.
"If Xiao Feng can do it, he will definitely not refuse!"
"Xiao Feng! If you have a little conscience, you shouldn't say that! Have you forgotten who rescued you from lying on the ground waiting to die? Have you forgotten who gave you the opportunity to read and write? Have you forgotten who asked your old father to see Langzhong? Have you forgotten all this? Lin Xi shouted with all his strength. She stared at him after being silent for a while, but this time her tone was as gentle as water, like a breeze across a willow tree, and she said word by word: "It's me, it's me Lin Xi who saved you!"
Every word was like a boulder smashed into his heart, as if he saw the woman under the willow tree again, and looked at him with a smile.
He slowly knelt down and looked at the woman in front of him: "What is the matter that the young lady asked!"
Lin Xi looked down at the child in his arms, like a loving mother: "This is the last bloodline of my Lin family, I want him to grow up safely."
After a long silence, Xiao Feng lowered his head and said yes, and said softly: "I will get him to the countryside, and when he is old, I will tell him the daughter-in-law!"
"He's sick, you go find Lang Zhong for him, I'll wait for you here!" Lin Xi hugged the child in her arms to him, and smiled gently, like a wife's whisper to her husband, lingering to the bone.
