Thirty-five years in Chengde, deep winter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a time when the cold wind was howling, the snow was raging, and the sky was hanging low and cold. The road to the north of Xinjiang was already covered by an endless expanse, and it was a desperate whiteness in sight. On the rugged and steep mountain road, flanked by cliffs that stand as straight as knives, the pines that have been born from the rocks reveal a little greenery, like the faint hope of a prisoner walking in shackles.

The boy who walked at the end raised his little face that was black and blue, and asked the girl walking beside him in a low voice: "Sister, didn't you say that grandfather and father will be able to catch up with us soon?" Why can't I see them yet? Sister, my hands and feet hurt so much. Sister, why did my mother become so fierce? ”

The girl's name is Jiang Shuying, and the boy's name is Jiang Shuhe, who is a pair of good grandsons who are loved by Jiang Cheng, the head of the household, and they have enjoyed endless glory and wealth since they were born, and they can be described as real noble sons and daughters. Who knows that the will of heaven makes people!

When the emperor of the dynasty became more and more mediocre and old, he reused traitorous ministers to listen to slander, and threw Xie Jun, a heartfelt good minister, into the prison on trumped-up charges such as embezzlement of huge sums of money from the imperial court. Jiang Cheng was bent on pleading for his friends to redress their grievances, and in front of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he reprimanded the emperor for being unkind and unjust, and killed Zhongliang, which was really a faint deaf. The emperor was furious, immediately took the case, and issued an order to be convicted of complicity, thinking that he was an old minister in the court and made great contributions to the court, so he was reassigned to the northern frontier. A total of 38 people in Jiangfu died, and most of them were sick, tired, and bullied to death by officials on the way.

My grandfather was old and frail, so he had only been away from Beijing for a few days, and because he was full of resentment, and he saw that the female dependents in the house were bullied by lowly officials, he couldn't breathe, and he went early. The whole house was in pain, the father wanted to bury his grandfather, but the body was kicked into the bottomless pool by the ruthless official, and the father was also beaten for a while, although he was a man, but he was also a delicate body, the father was not dignified was already uneasy, and saw his wife being humiliated by beasts, how could a bloody man swallow the evil breath, and fight to save the lady Who would have thought that he would be beaten to death by these beasts. In less than half a month, Shuying lost his grandfather and father, two close relatives, and his already dim life has been without support since then.

Traveled 3,000 miles in two months, which is no different from these former noble masters. Shuying knew that if she hadn't been protected by her mother all the way, she and her brother would have died in this barren place. It's just that every time she watched her mother being dragged into a secluded place by a rude and disgusting official, her heart was like a knife, the most gentle and beautiful person in the world had to be treated like this, how unfair was God? I only hate her for being weak and weak, unable to tear down her bones, cut her flesh, or sprinkle her blood, and her unforgettable hatred comes from the cracks in her heart.

Her brother's question made her stunned for a moment, and chuckled: "Shuhe is good!" When we get there, we can rest. "I don't know if I can get rid of this cumbersome heavy object, and I don't know if I can get out of here in this life. Northern Xinjiang is the most desolate place in the vast territory of Dongdan, and their lives are probably going to be buried here.

"How long does it take to stay? I can't walk anymore. ”

Two more days is just enough for two full months. Shuying stared at her mother, who was walking hard in front of her, her petite body was so thin that she couldn't feel half of her flesh, the former elegance was replaced by vicissitudes of aging, this woman was really red-faced, and her good years were buried like this. Tomorrow is very cold, and she still can't help but have sour tears in her eyes.

Two days of hard work is said to be difficult and fast, after all, it is a numb person, who has seen too much snow, is used to the cold winter, and does not even care when the snow stops. When he finally stopped, he saw a man in ragged clothes, shackled hands and feet, gray-faced, blind-eyed, clumsy and carrying heavy objects, and then he was a step slower, followed by the sound of the official's leather whip, which was deafening, and the skin and flesh were terrifying, but the man was powerless to dodge. What is this human? Even the cattle that work in the fields can be treated with some kindness......

Shuhe had never seen such a scene, although he was only one year younger than Shuying, he was well protected, and he was so frightened that he cried when he heard this. The official was the most annoying and noisy, and he didn't ask the reason for throwing a whip down, Shuhe didn't hide from the painful heartbreak, and he was about to cry again. Mrs. Jiang was distressed and unbearable, her favorite youngest son ...... Quickly ran over to protect him, with a dumb voice, and said tremblingly: "Ask the uncle not to fight, the child is not sensible, please uncle." ”

When the man saw that she was born beautiful, an evil smile instantly welled up in his eyes, and he rubbed his chin: "It's a good look, it's not impossible to spare him, but you have to serve ......."

Mrs. Jiang was afraid that he would say anything nonsense in front of the child, so she hurriedly nodded and said, "I promise, promise uncle." A lot of helplessness, grievance and shame are contained in her trembling voice. As long as the children can be kept safe, there is nothing left for this tattered body. When she can't hold on, she will make amends to her husband when she arrives at the underworld. I don't know if he will dislike her for not cherishing herself like this, and if she was with her for the first time, I don't know if it counts?

The snow ceased, the wind did not stop, and it was even more ferocious in this desolate place, blowing away all their hopes.

The sun and moon rotate, spring, summer, autumn and winter, even when the heat is scorching, it can't warm her heart. In the past two years, my mother's health has become worse and worse, coughing all the time, and she can hear her heart-rending cough when she wakes up in the middle of the night, and she covers her mouth for fear of waking them up. Shuying didn't dare to care about her, she had her own arrogance, since she fell into that messy predicament, her mother never looked in the mirror again, and every time she was bullied, she would use a sharp weapon to cut a knife on her wrist, at first Shuying panicked, and then realized that it was her mother who atoned for her father's sins underground, and the reality was powerless to change, so it could only show her obvious love, worthy of the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon.

In the past two years, Shuying and Shuhe have grown up, and Shuying has even more eyebrows, although she was born thin and black, it is difficult to hide her good appearance in the future. Mrs. Jiang's worst concern finally came, she heard the beasts talking about her daughter behind her back, the words were vulgar and dirty, she was so angry that her heart and lungs hurt so much that she coughed up blood again and again, but she couldn't protect her daughter thoroughly.

In the dead of night, Mrs. Jiang woke up her daughter when her son was asleep, and told her many things, if she was lucky enough to escape from this ghost place, she must find that Yu Wenchen to recover this blood debt, and if she was not lawful, she would go to reincarnate early, so as not to be poisoned by those wicked people.

Shuying has always taken her mother's words to heart, and after another spring, her mother finally couldn't stand it and left. Shuhe is not like before, he only knew how to cry, he was much calmer, and when the grave was piled up, his sister and brother bowed a few times before he spoke: "Sister, one day / I will slaughter all the people who bear me in this world and avenge my Jiang family." ”

The day was not too late, and since her mother had gone, the people had blatantly attacked her, she was only a nine-year-old child, and she could not hide from it, and she was finally dragged into the woods, she was frightened, desperate, helpless, she was still so young...... But he can still understand how much his mother has suffered.

A disgusting hand touched her collar, and she struggled to pick at the soft flesh of his body, and just as she thought she was going to die, an arrow burst through the wind and pierced the man's head with swiftness and precision. She hurriedly got up, and saw her younger brother who was running over in a hurry and the officials who kept shouting, and she was afraid that the string would break instantly, so she pulled out the arrow and held the handle, and rushed towards the group of people who were not afraid of death, or scratched or stabbed, and lowered her heavy hands, a few were injured by her and a few were killed by her, bloody and sticky, very smelly, but very relieved. Since she embarked on this road, she has been piled up this breath in her heart, she thought that she would suffocate to death, but who knew that God gave her a chance to relieve her mind.

The clatter of horses' hooves stopped beside her, and immediately a boy with a long body, a straight back, and a gentle jade, he looked at her condescendingly, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and asked gently, "What is your name?" ”

"Why did you tell you?"

"Because I saved you. Do you hate here? ”

"Hate! I can't wait to slaughter all those dog thieves to pay for my family's blood debt. ”

At some point, he dismounted and walked up to her, his calloused fingertips pressed against her chapped lips, and chuckled, "Don't say this again, or you won't be able to get out." Tell me, what's your name? ”

"Jiang Shuying."

"Is it the sparse shadow of the horizontal slope, the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon?"

She didn't speak, but said secretly in her heart: "It's hard to say, the good window is light and the moon is light, and the shadow is still sparse." ”

Seeing that she was silent, he nodded: "I am looking for you, who else is in your family at this time?" ”

Shu Ying's face suddenly turned gloomy, and the child's voice, which should have been delicate, hurt as if it had been quenched with poison at this time: "Except for me and my brother, there is nothing else." How? But the emperor wants to cut down my Jiang family and eradicate it? ”

He suddenly laughed out loud, his voice as clear as a clear spring, clanging into her heart, stirring up ripples in circles, his hands were very warm, and the heat spread to his heart through his scalp: "What nonsense, I am here on behalf of the emperor to rehabilitate your Jiang family." The new emperor ascended the throne and found out that Xie Shangshu and Jiang Shangshu were both wronged people, and sent me to take you back day and night. ”

Go back? Did she hear it wrong?

"Why do I believe you?"

"Why don't you believe me? Do I look like the wicked man? He sighed suddenly: "I know that you have suffered a lot, but you have to look forward, don't you?" You're still young, so why lock yourself up in the past? ”

Shuying only thought he was talking nonsense, but his heart was warm, and he was speechless for a long time. After a quarter of an hour she asked him, "What's your name?" ”

"Lu Jingchun."

At this time, she still couldn't understand what the love word was, and after two years of pain, someone finally cared about her, and her heart was full of warmth. Who would have thought of the obsession and entanglement in the future?
