11. Death

In front of Uncle Qiang, who rushed to comfort her, Liu Ting knew that she should tell the lies she had come up with. She didn't dare to look up www.biquge.info looked at the patched mat under her, and cried and told the lie she had made.

"My father took me to look for relatives, and I wanted to inquire in the temple nunnery, but I didn't want to meet the Yi people." Afraid that she would say it in too much detail and have too many loopholes, Liu Ting added vaguely: "My mother went when I was young." ”

"The girl's father is a teacher?" Aunt Qiang helped her wipe away her tears and explained: "Seeing the girl's appearance, I thought you were a young lady in a big family......"

Liu Ting secretly screamed badly, and subconsciously stroked her own, which was also Zhuang Shuo's face.

When she looked at Zhuang Shuo through the bronze mirror for the first time, Liu Ting was shocked by her appearance. I have to say that Liu Ting at that time was very surprised by Zhuang Shuo's beauty. She looked left and right at herself in the mirror, and couldn't find anything unsatisfactory on her face.

If the standard melon seed face gives people a touching feeling, I feel pitiful, then Zhuang Shuo's appearance can definitely be called a "formal style" in modern terms. Her eyes were large and bright, like two stars hanging high. The slender eye sockets make her even more beautiful in the dignified. A pair of willow eyebrows that are not popular in modern society are embellished on it, which makes Zhuang Li's appearance more stylish. The beautiful tip of the nose and two thin lips that are not too small draw a perfect end to this beautiful face.

Zhuang Shuo's beauty and Guo Yingying's beauty belong to the same style - there is no aggressive sense of amazement, only the more you look at it, the more you look at it, the more you look at it. However, no matter how stunning and dazzling it is, it can't hide Zhuang Shuojiao's good appearance.

Aunt Qiang's words woke up Liu Ting and made her wary of Zhuang Shuo's beauty.

Most of the good-looking and well-behaved girls in this era come from official eunuchs. And it is impossible for the young lady of the eunuch family to walk out of the backyard alone. Even if it can't be a young lady, it can only be a girl from a big family. The girl who wanders alone and can't tell where her home is is very likely to be the girl who escaped. Yahuan who escapes without permission will be returned to the owner for disposal. Even if he is not caught by the government, Zhuang Shuo's appearance walking on the street will most likely provoke inquiries from officers and soldiers.

Report the fleeing Yahuan, will the owner give a certain reward? Liu Ting wasn't sure. What she can be sure of is that if Zhuang Shuo's appearance and demeanor arouse Aunt Qiang's suspicion, it will also arouse the suspicion of others in the future. If you want to stay away from the Zhongwu General's Mansion, you can't let Zhuang Shuo's appearance be seen by others again.

After admonishing herself to be more careful when she went out, Liu Ting nodded in the direction of Aunt Qiang. She said in a soft voice: "My name is Liu Ting......"

"My wife and I wanted to go to Panshan Nunnery to inquire and see if we could help the girl find her family." Seeing that Liu Ting showed a frightened look, she shook her hand again and again, and Uncle Qiang comforted: "Don't worry, girl." If you say that you have no family, I will give you a word - if you don't dislike it, you will live in our house. When you have a plan, we will find a way to help you. ”

Aunt Qiang's hand also gently patted Liu Ting's back, comforting softly.

As long as he doesn't return to General Zhongwu's mansion, he will be as Liu Ting wants. Although Liu Ting still didn't believe that Guo Yingying would kill her own daughter at this time, she had not completely walked out of the tragic situation of Panshan Nunnery, and she couldn't think about the possibility of Guo Yingying killing her daughter; An old couple and their humble house in front of her gave her a small world to comfort her soul wounds. When she got the right words, she didn't even have any suspicions about Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang, she just wanted to continue to be confused in this poor family to escape the cruel reality.

Unfortunately, fate didn't give her much time to repair.

Just two days later, the old man who was called "Doctor" by Aunt Qiang came to her. Looking at Liu Ting, who was already able to move freely, the doctor nodded with satisfaction, and turned his head sideways to gossip with Aunt Qiang, who had been guarding the couch, while changing the medicine bag for her.

"I'll tell you something I'm sure to hear about it. Two days ago, the bandits were Panshan Nunnery, and yesterday they went to Yicun again. Fortunately, after the accident in the hermitage, the garrison was dispatched. Not long after the bandits went to Yicun, they were surrounded by garrisons. I heard that General Zhongwu ordered that it would be better to kill by mistake than to let go, and to hang the bandits who were correcting the law on the spot on the city wall for the people to spit on. ”

"Amitabha!" Aunt Qiang really smiled: "This loyal general is really the first person in Yuanqing Town." With a resident like him, see if the bandits dare to come. ”

"You haven't been out in the past two days, have you?" The doctor shook his head and sighed: "When the bandits went to Panshan Nunnery, they were just in time for the general's family to pray in the nunnery. I heard that none of them died, and General Zhuang's only daughter also died. This kind of thing is unbearable even for a father. ”

Liu Ting didn't hear what the doctor and Aunt Qiang said next, and she was attracted all her attention by the words "General Zhuang's only daughter is also dead".

Miss Zhuang is dead, does it mean that I am dead?

Looking at her freely moving hand in disbelief, Liu Ting, who was flustered, was running away as if she was in Panshan Nunnery.

She wants to escape the fate of being "killed", but she doesn't know what to do. She wanted to go out and shout "I'm alive", but her awakened reason kept her motionless.

Liu Ting is not a real Zhuang Shuo, not the ancient woman who has never stepped out of the backyard of the Dalian mansion a few times since she was a child, and has only come into contact with her subordinates. As a modern woman who has traveled through time, the information that Miss Zhuang Jiachang has died is like a sharp knife that kills the "Zhuang Shuo" who has never used her brain, and creates Liu Ting with modern women's thinking ability. Although the tragedy she experienced a few days ago still haunts Liu Ting like a poisonous snake, she has a feeling of rebirth at this time.

Liu Ting thought of a sentence: Once a person is forced into a desperate situation, he must either give up on himself or grit his teeth and stand up.

Under the auditory hallucinations of "live well" in her ears, next to Aunt Qiang, who made her feel a little at ease, Liu Ting chose to stand up. Withdrawing back the hand that was being held by Aunt Qiang, she heard Aunt Qiang's words clearly: "We won't be able to see the Yi clan in Yuanqing Town for a while, right?" ”

"Not necessarily. The garrison said that all the bandits had been corrected, and none of them were missed, but when I passed by Panshan before, the second son of the Zhuang family led the servants to surround the entire Panshan tightly. Look at that frame, I'm afraid I won't give up if I don't turn over the whole mountain. The doctor muttered: "It's strange to say, why didn't the second son of the Zhuang family make him use the garrison of his general father, but only used the people of the town office?" ”

The second son of the dealer? That handsome boy who is only thirteen years old and always likes to be by Zhuang Shuo's side?

The doctor's words evoked Liu Ting's memory, and she couldn't help but turn over the past of the Zhongwu General's Mansion in her mind. Even if she only used Zhuang Shuo to live in the General's Mansion for more than a month; Even she herself had to admit that the happy life of the General's Mansion made her temporarily throw her head away.
