Chapter 36: The Eight Hardships of Life
This one was always threatening him, speaking in a mean tone, vicious, and he thought she was a ruthless and tearless woman, and she would, actuallyβ
The heart that often thought that it had been turned cold and hard as a stone by the family's cold-blooded training, at this moment, he quickly tilted his head to the side, not wanting her to see his weak appearance now, and hummed loudly: "It's not uncomfortable." β
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Yu Ziying tightened his eyebrows, as solemn as a military order, after seeing his body tremble slightly, his eyes flashed, he pursed his lips again, hesitated, moved his lips dryly, and added: "So, so you are not allowed to cry." β
As an extremely vicious killer of an evil ace, Hua Quan already has high self-esteem, where can he stand the fact that others point out and expose him to hide, he immediately shook his body, gritted his teeth and turned his face sideways, and yelled at Yu Ziying viciously: "For such a trivial matter, who, who will cry!" You woman is simply what others often say, with a yellow mouth and white teeth! β
- After so long, has the attainment of the original dialect not improved at all? It's okay to open the river, the word with such a fetish as yellow mouth and white teeth has been dug up, and the word is not up to the truth, he himself is the "mouth of the river".
Yu Ziying saw that he had finally regained his spirit, so she looked at the second floor: "How is the old beggar?" β
Who is the old beggar? The sudden change of topic made Hua Qian unable to react for a while, and after thinking for a while, he realized that she might be asking about the person who had been poisoned as him.
"He's not doing well...... Anyway, why did you save him, he's from Cannes, who is he? How could he ......?" Hua Quan found that he was a little poor in words when he talked about people who were in sympathy with the same disease, and he couldn't describe the tragic situation that happened to the old beggar.
"He is my stepfather." Yu Ziying only explained this simply, and then walked up to the second floor.
At this time the old beggar was lying quietly on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, although he was asleep, but because he did not have a complete eyelid to cover his eyeballs, but as if he had a pair of eyes half-open, the whites of his eyes were exposed, and his face covered with pink orangutan sarcoma was more hideous and terrible in the dim light of the night than he had seen during the day.
Hua Qian woke up naturally after a month of sleeping under the toxic effect, but he was still half-awake and half-unconscious because of his weak body.
I saw a low table at the head of his bed, on which was placed a smoked mosquito incense ding, and next to it was a basin of slightly turbid clear water, and a wet cloth towel was placed on the edge of the basin, which was dripping with water.
Yu Ziying paused, then turned her head, looked at Hua Quan, who had just arrived at the staircase, and said, "Xie Lu, thank you." β
Hua Qian was stunned by Yu Ziying's outstanding thanks, and then when he saw the basin of wiping water next to the old beggar, his face suddenly turned red, and he said rudely: "Why do you suddenly say thank you, it's really boring, this, this is called by Master Wuxiang, and asked me to take care of it temporarily, I ...... No...... Besides, on such a hot day, we live together, if we don't clean it up, won't we have to smoke and die of the little master......"
Speaking of the worst, perhaps embarrassed by Yu Ziying's see-through eyes, he simply broke the jar, and hurriedly turned around and pedaled downstairs.
After Hua Cheng left, Yu Ziying sat down by the bedside, pulled a towel for the old beggar, and wiped his face and hands for him.
After the weather changes, even at night, it is still like a stove, and there is only a small window of a few tens of centimeters left on the second floor of the tower that is half open to let in the air, so the tower is a little stuffy.
"My people, you must persevere." Yu Ziying looked at him and said in a deep voice.
"Even if it will be very hard to survive and make people want to give up, but without seeing the grand occasion of the revenge of the Teng Snake Clan, can you close your eyes?"
"Because of Yin Sheng, you have lost your person and become such a person, you are not a ghost or a ghost, can you really swallow this breath?"
"Also, I met a little boy before, he said that he is eleven years old, his name is Yu Haoyun, he has the blood of our Teng Snake Semi-Imperial Family, and he gives me a feeling very similar to you, do you recognize him?"
The old beggar has responded since Yu Ziying began to talk to him in his ear, moving his fingers from time to time, and the corners of his mouth trembling from time to time, especially when the name "Yu Haoyun" was mentioned, his eyes under his skin turned violently, his whole body stiffened, and the bed board found a banging sound.
Seeing this, Yu Ziying knew what to expect, so he pressed his palm, and said in a soothing tone: "You don't have to insist on waking yourself up, I will deal with these things for the time being, I believe that you will never succumb to fate, and you will wake up." I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you. β
After talking to the old beggar, Yu Ziying went straight downstairs.
Wule was not there, presumably still tinkering with the antidote in a pharmacy where he was independent, she only saw Hua Cheng who was bored in front of the shrine, said hello to him, and was about to go back to the palace, but Hua Qian stopped her.
"Hey, what's your name?"
He had always called her "Hey", "Woman", or other unorthodox names according to his mood, he thought she should be called "Xuan Ying", but in fact, from the occasional conversation of Wule or Master Wuxiang, he thought it was just a pseudonym of hers, and besides, how could anyone have such a strange surname as "Xuan".
The two of them have known each other for so long, and she won't even tell him her real name!
"Yu Ziying."
Yu Ziying told him very happily.
"Yu Ziying, oh, it turned out to be Yu Ziying, surnamed Yu, belch, etc. - Yu?!" Hua Qian muttered for a long time, suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted in surprise.
Isn't the Teng Snake royal family worshiped by the Chinese clan of the Teng Snake Seven Sects surnamed Yu?!
It was rare that Hua Quan's brain also had a bright light, and he thought of what Wule had said to him before, and the various doubts revealed, Hua Quan's head exploded, and the whole person was stunned.
He had an idea that was incredibly shocking but infinitely close to the truth - could it be that Yu Ziying, she, could she be the Yu royal family that their family had been waiting for for more than ten years?
"When the old beggar wakes up, I'll explain everything to you, so now, let's detoxify with peace of mind."
Yu Ziying seemed to know his questions and thoughts, and after taking the lead in blocking his mouth, he turned around and left the pagoda.
Only Hua Quan, who was left in place, had his eyes straightened, his whole body stiffened, and his mood at the moment was very complicated, so complicated that even ten Chopards could not play the sadness and boredom in his heart.
He wanted to scratch his head and pound the wall, if it weren't for the fear of getting into trouble, he would have even been ready to run outside the tower for a wild dance and shouting wildly.
In fact, Hua Quan's feeling is very understandable, for example.
This feeling is like one day, Guanyin Master ran to Uncle Sun who was pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain and said, in another five hundred years, there will be a person named Tang Seng to rescue you from the mountain, although then you may have to recognize him as a teacher and respect him as great, are you willing?
Uncle Sun naturally readily agreed, because these are not a matter compared to freedom.
So, Uncle Sun looked forward to it, waited, day and night alternated for five hundred years, and his eyes were green, but he didn't wait for the person who should come.
And at this time, Uncle Sun, who has experienced high expectations and deep despair, must be black at this moment, even if he used to be a young man with ideals and aspirations, he is also blackened at this moment, and his heart is full of all kinds of negative emotions, like being ready to take revenge on society at any time, hating all good things, and so on.
However, life is like a prank, I thought it was a desperate thing, but I didn't expect it to be a year later, Uncle Sun actually found out that the rumored Master Tang was late, not that he didn't come, at this time Uncle Sun couldn't be unhappy, but he couldn't be a little happy.
On the one hand, he was happy that even if he came late, at least - Uncle Sun was still free.
What's not happy is that he said that he was a year late for 500 years?! He thought he wasn't coming, and after a whole year of hating the society, he found out that he was only a second year in secondary school.
At this moment, Hua Quan's mood was like that of Uncle Sun, he leaned against the corner of the wall, slowly slid to the ground, his head was raised, and he looked at the candlelight, until his pupils saw that everything was ghosted and glowed, and then he smiled bitterly.
"Grandpa, you're right, the Teng Snake Royal Family may not have really abandoned us, she's just damn late......"
ββ
Yu Ziying was originally not going to see Wuxiang, after all, they had only met in the morning at the Yinyang Summer Resort, but as soon as she thought that she had entrusted Si to Wuxiang, she had never seen him again, and she didn't know how Lu Dao Wuxiang had arranged it.
Thinking that since it is rare to come here, based on her usual pragmatic principles, she should not waste the conditions, and go back by the way.
As soon as she came, she must have known the Tao without any appearance.
The secret guards arranged around the stupa are not good-looking, she just left the stupa and did not take a few steps in the direction of the Wuxiang residence, when someone came to invite her.
Seeing Wuxiang, Yu Ziying asked, but he told her that the person had left yesterday and left nothing, only asking him to bring her a message.
He explained that he was afraid of affecting her mood, and he wanted to tell her when tomorrow's event was over, but he didn't want her to come tonight.
The content of the message was very simple - it was because something happened at home and she had to rush back to deal with it, so that she didn't have to worry about him.
Yu Ziying knows that Lu Dao is considerate, she does have a lot of things to deal with at the moment, and she can't take care of Si at all, she knows that Lu Dao Si's identity is one of the seven sects of Teng Snake, although the specific identity is unknown, but it is definitely not an ordinary person.
What is it that is so urgent that you don't even have time to say goodbye and rush away?
Yu Ziying borrowed the tortoise shell of the phaseless and made a hexagram for Sibu, which showed that although he was riddled with calamities, he would eventually turn into a thrilling situation, so he was secretly relieved.
Before the Lord of the Seven Sins was found, it would be very troublesome for her to have any of the Seven Sins in trouble.
Wuxiang was afraid of worrying her before, so he had already sent someone to escort Si all the way back, and asked them to secretly investigate the cause of the matter and report it in time, perhaps because Yu Ziying's mood was not high, so Wuxiang was ready to tell her another good thing.
"What's the matter?" Yu Ziying raised his eyes.
Wuxiang said: "Slum...... Already independent. β
"What?"
Seeing Yu Ziying's puzzled face, he rolled up a topographic board map and spread it on the table, and then took a lamp and candle, divided it with his fingers, and said: "You see, the slum was originally a desert sand land in the east that connected the border of the Ying Imperial Kingdom, but the north is a green forest and reckless, and Di belongs to a small piece of land in the former dynasty of Yunan, called Liangcheng, after several dynasties, it has now become a ruined city without a country and no power, and even reduced to a slum. So the slums have a lord from now on. β
Yu Ziying looked at the map, looking at the place as big as ink spots on the map, and her eyes flashed with candle flames.
She was not surprised that they were able to do this, and this was only the first step in the long march of thousands of miles, but she was also relieved that they were able to do what she had told her before leaving so efficiently.
Wuxiang saw Yu Ziying's serious and proud appearance looking at the map, bent his lips and smiled like a pear blossom, and reached out to touch the top of her hair: "Do you know what this city with a lord is called?" β
Yu Ziying suddenly raised her head, her eyes burning: "Tell me." β
"Ascension City."
"Ascend, ascend, ascend, snake, ascend, ascend the city." Yu Ziying groaned and chewed, and soon understood the meaning of this city.
"Ziying, Tengsheng City will belong to you from now on." Wuxiang's eyes were soft, and he said softly.
Under the dim candlelight, the girl's thick eyelashes were coated with a layer of orange and yellow warm light, and her eyes were painted and cold, like a quiet and clean lake under the rain and sunny weather, and she looked a little dazed: "Does it belong to me?" β
"Well, you can use your imagination to your heart's content in Tengsheng City, you can build your own home in the city, you can build whatever you like, you can also house your people, you can place your possessions, you can plant fruit trees, you can have fresh seasonal water to eat when the season comes, you can also raise pigs and sheep, you can have plenty of food and clothing, they will respect you, love you, respect you, support you, and you need to protect them and treat them well...... Do you like this kind of Ascending City? β
- This is exactly a realistic version of the big landlord game.
Build a city, plant, fill the population, resettle the villagers, increase the number of workshops......
Yu Ziying was completely conquered by the picture of her homeland that Wuxiang had just depicted, she nodded heavily, and her cat pupils were full of golden light like jewels: "Happy." β
"My child finally has a home of his own, but I don't know if your family will welcome me to join?"
Wuxiang slightly covered his body, the light and shadow in his eyes changed, and his ink eyes seemed to sink into a dark pool of a secluded mountain, and seemed to reflect the blazing fire, and asked vaguely in a slightly drunk voice.
Yu Ziying's ears itched, and the slightly hoarse and mellow that she had never heard before trembled, and her eyes moved slightly.
- At that moment just now, she almost thought that Wuxiang was being copied by lust again.
"Tengsheng City was able to become independent so quickly without being resisted and interfered by the surrounding countries, you helped it secretly, right?"
This is not Yu Ziying's random speculation, Yu Ziying knows that the seventh uncle of Daoquan has lived in isolation in the slum for more than ten years, even if they were all big names for a while, but after being born for so long, no matter how they are, they will be a little confused, and they need to find a way forward.
If he hadn't intervened, they wouldn't have been able to make this diplomatic deal so easily.
"So because I helped you, you can't refuse?" Three points of helplessness sighed.
"It's not like that, it's because you helped me that there will always be your place in Tengsheng City." Yu Ziying stared directly at him, cutting the railroad to the point.
Wuxiang laughed, stretched his arms like a pair of rich wings to protect her tightly in his chest, and voluntarily from now on she could be under his wings, not from any storms, and be safe, free, and brave.
"What did you just say...... I'm serious, so when the time comes, you'll live in it with peace of mind, and I'll live in your shelter unceremoniously, so that's okay? β
It feels very comfortable to be held in his arms, and the breath on his body is very delicious, perhaps because he is an atmospheric carrier, with a special beauty given by God, his embrace is not loose or tight, it will not make her feel uncomfortable, nor will it make her feel a sense of distance, there is a kind of father-like breadth and tolerance, and there is a kind of sweetness and gentleness like a lover.
"No problem."
Yu Ziying bent the corners of her mouth slightly, because she didn't smile often, so in order not to make her smile very strange, she tried to control the curvature of the corners of her mouth was very shallow, like a tender yellow stamen trembling slightly, and the snow-white lily petals bloomed slowly and gently, and like a dewdrop like a clear and clear.
Her smile carries a kind of immature demagogy, which can be fatal, can take souls, can make a man who loves her completely crazy, for her to completely fall from the Buddha into the way of the world, for her to experience the eight sufferings of life that the Buddha said, the suffering of life, the suffering of old age, the suffering of sickness, the suffering of death, the bitterness of resentment, the bitterness of love and separation, and the bitterness of asking for nothing.
