It was an autumn day, and the thick golden light sprinkled on the south bank of the river, adding more auspiciousness to this prosperous and rich land. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But not everyone likes this bleak season, it is the transition between summer and spring, the alternation of life and death.
In the darkness, it is difficult to distinguish between day and night, and I don't know how many days have passed.
Jiang Qingqing, who was only four years old, didn't know why she was locked up in this dirty, smelly, toe-eating little black house.
My mother and father were not here, she was huddled in the corner, kicking the damp and smelly straw far away, and the green bricks on the ground were cold and cold.
There was no time in the darkness, and her consciousness was gradually numb, and the darkness around her struggled to swallow her, her limbs were cold, she was dying......
A hand suddenly reached out from outside the cell door, beckoning to her gently, and the faint oil lamp was blown bright and dark by the wind, and the face and body of the person who came could not be seen clearly.
"Who are you?" The delicate child's voice was mixed with countless horrors.
The man was silent, as if the hand had grown out of the deep darkness.
Jiang Qingqing didn't dare to ask again, so frightened that she buried her head tightly between her legs, and one picture after another of demons and monsters flashed in her mind.
"Come here." It was the man's rough voice, and the non-fluent Tanglin dialect was as cold and hard as an iceberg.
She still didn't dare to raise her head, but she couldn't suppress the fear in her heart and cried quietly.
Daddy, mother, why didn't you come to her, is she going to die, and the ghosts in hell are coming to pick her up......
"Don't be afraid, come here." The man in the dark still stretched out his hand, his voice was not hurried, and his tone was cold and hard.
She finally looked up at the hand again, swallowed empty, gritted her teeth and stood up, her legs trembling unconsciously, she felt that as long as she no longer stayed in this dark and cold dungeon, it didn't matter if she really went to hell.
She made up her mind, and moved towards the cell door step by step, her sticky hair clinging to the back of her neck, her beautiful floral dress in tatters, and her shoes gnawed by rats. , and don't dare to wear it again.
Stepping barefoot over the stagnant water on the ground, I approached him cautiously, and by the dim light, I could barely see that it was a man in his thirties, wearing a black cloak and a hood.
"I'll take you out." The man couldn't hold the little girl who was trembling.
Holding her hand is indeed a human hand, with warmth and a rough cocoon feeling, and it is because of this that she dares to ask.
"What about Daddy and Mom? Where are they? The tone of the four-year-old girl was full of distressing grievances.
"They went far away." There is comfort and helplessness in the man's words.
The man took a bunch of keys from his waist, and after opening the lock, he didn't dislike the sticky stains on her body at all, and carried her out.
Only then did she realize that there was a man in black behind the man, and the man in black was carrying a heavy sack.
"Master, you go first." The man in black took the key and bowed respectfully.
Later, she learned that inside the sack was a little girl who had died of smallpox.
The man carried her out of the dungeon, and the cell bosses were lying on the ground staggering, snorting of alcohol.
The sun outside couldn't open her eyes, and it was the end of summer when she came in, and it was already late autumn when she came out.
"Who are you?" Jiang Qingqing looked at this grim man with a slightly different appearance from ordinary people, with a high forehead and a high nose, and a knife-like face that gave people the impression that it was difficult to approach.
"My name is Shi Weitang, and in the future, you will be called Shi Jin, my daughter in Jiangnan." Shi Weitang ripped off his hood.
"My name is Jiang Qingqing, my father is Jiang Minsheng, my mother's name is Yue Rushang, you are not my father." The stubborn children's voice made Shi Weitang not let Shi Weitang's heart soften by half a point.
The words became sharper and sharper, like ice ballast in winter.
"Your father is a wreck, he can't protect your mother, let alone you."
"No, Daddy is not a wreck, you lie, you lie......" Jiang Qingqing's delicate arm slapped him on the shoulder with all the strength of his body, and continuous tears came out again, rolling down Shi Weitang's body.
Shi Weitang was not moved, and patted her lightly on the back of the neck, and the villain in his arms fell into his arms as if he was tired, and the warm feeling of tears came from his chest.
It's really not cute, it looks like it, but her temperament attacked her father, and she talked a lot.
He turned to look at the dungeon, and his face finally showed a different emotion.
Since you have chosen him, it must be your last wish to accompany him.
Later, she was taken to the Northern Desert, Xue Wan followed her for three days and three nights, Shi Weitang agreed to take her, and Jin Ling was entrusted to her father's old friend Jiang Yu in Qingzhou.
It took a month to reach the land where ice and snow blend with the grassland.
Shi Weitang pointed to a woman as indifferent as him and said, "She is your mother concubine, the left concubine, from now on, you will be the eldest princess of the Northern Desert." ”
The concubine on the left side is silent and ignores her at all, and the only person who can bring some warmth to her young is the eldest prince.
I don't know how long it took for her to gradually accept the fact that her father and mother left her.
However, Shi Weitang didn't have the slightest intention of telling her the truth, she didn't even ask at all, the palace maid who served her didn't say a word, and even Shi Xiao, who had always had something to say, didn't say a word.
Until one day she broke into a dark room in Shi Weitang's study, and then everything became clear......
