Chapter 53: Sister Hong @ Righteous Partner
Miyako, Fujiwara-kyo
Mei Hong is twelve years old this year, and like all the wild children in civilian families, she runs around the bustling streets, swaying her seemingly endless laughter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is often said that in the eyes of children, everything is just their first glimpse of the world, always with a new beauty. It is with this unique vision that Meihong unfolds her adventures in the most prosperous city in Japan.
She was dressed in the ordinary cloth clothes of the poor - it had been washed and whitened, and even the threads were exposed in many places, and she had short black hair that was clean and fresh, and her thin limbs looked weak, and her face was a little pale with nutrition.
But neither the dust nor the ugly clothes could hide her pretty face. With a bright melon seed face, two small eyebrows raised high, and bright black eyes, although he is young, he looks heroic - not to mention, in this little face that should be sad for fate, but it has always been filled with a moving smile.
She ran fast, and her lips were red and her teeth were white when she smiled, no matter how big the wind and dust were in front of her, the infectious and healthy smile still never faded.
Fujiwara Meihong is the daughter of Fujiwara Bubi. Fujiwara is the most powerful minister of the dynasty, the official to the right minister, it stands to reason that Mei Hong should be hidden in the boudoir like a noble daughter, but her mother is just a servant of the Fujiwara family, and the birth of Mei Hong is an accident.
If it's a boy who is born, then it can naturally be used again, but unfortunately, what was born is a dispensable girl, so naturally there is nothing to say, and the Fujiwara family gave Meihong's mother a name, and then no longer cared about the lives of the two mothers and daughters, thinking that they were left to fend for themselves.
Therefore, Meihong and her mother have lived together since she was a child, living together in a dilapidated wooden house that leaks rain - there is not much decent furniture except for the bed, and lives a poor life. Her mother goes out early and returns late every day, doing the hard work of washing clothes and mending clothes for others, which can be regarded as barely pulling Meihong up.
Living in such an environment, it can be said that not only can Meihong not see her father, but even her mother rarely sees her. She should have complained about her unjust fate, and even became cunning, philistine, and evil, but, as the most susceptible blank paper, she did not suffer from any vices, and miraculously developed a kind and upright character.
If the integrity of Mei Hong is purely called a miracle, it is too arbitrary, at least, in the process of Mei Hong's growth, her mother's careful teaching, although this great woman works hard all day and night, but never forgets to teach all her love when the mother and daughter get along, maybe it is the inheritance of such a kind bloodline, Mei Hong will grow into such a good child!
Although life is poor, Mei Hong deeply feels that as long as she can explore around the city every day, occasionally taste the tea given by well-wishers, occasionally help others, and stop the bully by the way, then she will be very happy!
Well!?? Wait a minute! As she was passing under a wooden table in a teahouse—startling the guests, of course—Mei Hong was alarmed, and not far from the roadside, three richly dressed nobles were sitting in a circle, giggling and kicking and punching in the corner.
Of course, Mei Hong didn't think they were kicking the wall in boredom, because she vaguely saw the emaciated figure struggling under their feet, it was a human being—they were punching and kicking a person.
Mei Hong's face couldn't help but be scolded, obviously, it was a street fight, although those noble children were just children about the same age as her, but maybe it was because their luxurious clothes were too scary - after all, nobles are not easy to mess with, so they didn't let them come forward to help. Mei Hong glanced at the passers-by who didn't see them in a hurry, and carefully observed the environment, she didn't see the guards of these noble children.
So what else is there to say? can scare others, my Fujiwara sister red will not be afraid! Thinking about it disdainfully in her heart, Mei Hong raised her eyebrows, rolled up her sleeves, and muttered to herself: "It's your turn!" Partners of Justice - Fujiwara Mei Red !! ”
Without hesitation, he rushed to the center of the brawl.
The bear children, who were playing merrily, had no intention of stopping, but they had to stop, for in front of them appeared a girl dressed in shabby clothes, facing the three of them with her arms outstretched, like a hen guarding her cubs. This posture of opening the door wide is a taboo in fighting, if it is usual, the bear children are expected to punch up without any scruples, and beat them first, but today they were stunned.
A tangled look that wants to punch but doesn't know whether to do it.
There are two reasons for this. One is that no one dared to stand up to stop them when they beat them, but this beautiful little girl was not afraid at all, and did not hesitate to block in front of the fists of the three people, so that the three of them were a little unsure of each other's origins; The second reason is that Mei Hong's expression is too spiritual, not only with a fearless look, but also the insistence on her own beliefs, so that the three of them seem to see the heroes fighting on the battlefield - of course, this is just YY of the bear child.
But it is undeniable that they were so frightened that they forgot to punch for a while.
The first to react was the bear child in the middle, he suddenly found a civilian portrait of the girl in front of him, and immediately said that he had nothing to be vain, put on a fierce look, and said domineeringly: "Who are you?" Dare to stop me from hitting someone? ”
"Look at the way you look, it seems reasonable to beat someone!" Mei Hong raised her chin and drank coquettishly without fear, "Three people bully others, and they are not ashamed!! ”
"What are you talking nonsense, you lowly poor man!" The bear child standing on the left was obviously very impulsive, and his face was already flushed at this time, "You try it again!" What other hero games do you want to play...... You bastard, look at your skinny little look, get home and get milk! ”
yelled, the bear child on the left did not hesitate, and kicked it heavily on Mei Hong's stomach.
Mei Hong hurriedly retreated and blocked it with her hands, but she was still kicked, and she suddenly felt that her arm was hot and painful, and on the white skin, there was an extra blue mark, and there were many places where the skin was broken, oozing blood outward.
This guy is really heavy!
"Hahahaha! See! Nobles beat commoners, that's a matter of course! Laughing wildly, the blushing bear child wanted to take advantage of the high spirits to give the sister a ruthless blow, so that this girl who didn't know the height of the sky would understand what justice was.
"Wait......" At this time, the bear child on the right stopped his companion's action.
Even so, Mei Hong didn't appreciate this guy much, because this bear kid had a gloomy face, and at a glance she knew that he was the kind of person who had a deep city and a lot of twists and turns.
"May I ask this young lady's surname?" The bear child on the right side asked politely—even with a smile—but Mei Hong knew that if her answer didn't satisfy him, he would probably turn his face the next moment.
It's a pity that Mei Hong's classmate is the second in secondary school, but she is not a fool, she pretended not to care and said: "My surname is Fujiwara, what's the matter, do you still have to ask about the origin of the fight?" ”
Of course, I have to ask, how many people in this world can have the surname Fujiwara? The gloomy bear child sneered, who made the Fujiwara family big now? Even if the other party is just a servant of the Fujiwara family and is beaten for no reason, they will be held responsible.
"Oh!? Could it be that Your Excellency is the fifth lady of the Fujiwara family? The gloomy bear child suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he probably guessed the identity of the other party.
"Oh!" With a noncommittal oh, Mei Hong felt that it was best to fool these three people away as soon as possible - of course it was best not to fight, after all, with her small body......
"Huh...... I've heard of the Fujiwara family's fifth lady! The bear child in the middle said suddenly, but it seemed to be in a very strange tone, "It's just an accidental product of Master Fujiwara!" Mother is just a servant, with such a lowly bloodline, no one in the entire Fujiwara family will care about her, look at what rotten clothes she is wearing, such a waste, we can't beat it up? If you want me to say, it won't be a problem to beat you up ten times! ”
"Huh...... It's just a bastard, and he actually puts on a face for us. The bear child on the left looked disdainful.
"What are you talking about!!" Mei Hong glared at the two bear children angrily, with a look of wanting to kill them on the spot, she was really angry and trembling, but at the same time she was a little scared, so she learned to prey on the tiger before it, and grinded its teeth viciously.
"Haha! This guy is scared! Hahahaha! The bear child on the left laughed loudly.
"Of course, because we're going to beat her up in a minute!!" The bear child in the middle also smiled coldly.
"Wait......" At this time, the bear child on the far right suddenly stopped her again, "Brothers, don't be impulsive, we can't hit her...... After all, she is a member of the Fujiwara family, and we don't take advantage of it now, if we beat her, maybe the Fujiwara family doesn't care about her, it will also be a blow to the face of the Fujiwara family, and then we will be finished, and the people of the Fujiwara family will not allow their reputation for being unkind and unjust to spread. ”
The other two bear children gave their companions a deep look, then shaved their sister red, glanced at their mouths, and put on a look of not being able to drag.
"What......"
"It's boring!!"
After a few complaints, the three of them turned and walked away.
Although she was very angry and wanted to beat up the three guys, Mei Hong was not willing to chase after them and be beaten, she took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and then turned to look at the person who was still lying on the ground, curled up like a shrimp - it was a boy younger than her, who seemed to be a child from a poor family.
"It's okay! It's all right! With a kind and gentle smile, Mei Hong comforted the poor child softly.
Ignoring Mei Hong's comfort, the child was struggling to stand up, and Mei Hong wanted to help him, but he threw him away.
This...... What's going on?
The boy glared at Mei Hong viciously, like a wounded wolf cub, panting and roaring: "You are also a nobleman!" You guy! Pretend to be a good person, you are all the same, all the same! Bastard! ”
The word "wait...... "wait" didn't shout out after all, because the boy had already limped away stubbornly, neither saying thank you, nor any politeness, as if it was a sin to see Meihong again.
Mei Hong couldn't help but lower her head, she was a little lost, a little sad, if she hadn't endured it, maybe the tears had fallen.
I...... What are you doing? Obviously helping others, huh? Why?
After walking a few steps in despair, Mei Hong saw in vain that an old man carrying a burden had fallen in vain, and the fruit in the burden fell to the ground.
Mei Hong raised her head, and she instantly left all the loss behind, because someone needed help again.
"That...... Grandpa! Mei Hong ran up to the old man, smiled cheerfully, and said, "Can I help you?" ”
What a good boy! Sister Red!
