183. The Death of a Dog
Because of the overlord bow of the old prawn, Qing'er didn't take this bow in her heart. Coupled with General Li's skeptical attitude just now, I want to give him a good look.
Qing'er didn't do any preparatory activities, she pulled hard with both hands but felt that the bow was a little tight, she was slightly moved, just now it only used fifty percent of her strength.
She confidently added another three percent force, and pulled it so hard that it still didn't pull away.
At this time, Qing'er's face couldn't help but turn red, it seemed that she had underestimated the enemy!
This bow should be more than two stones!
Qing'er looked at the bow in her hand carefully, it is said to be much lighter than the overlord bow of the big prawn?
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that she has been studying for a while, has hardly done physical work, exercised too little, and has no more strength than before?
Qing'er took a few deep breaths, put away the arrogance just now, put the big bow on the ground, and was about to move his muscles and bones to prepare for the activity, when he heard Xi's voice shouting:
"Qing'er!"
She turned her head to look over, only to see that Xi was looking at her worriedly, and when she saw her, she hurriedly clenched her right hand into a fist and waved it at her.
Qing'er smiled and nodded at him, waved her arms to do some stretching exercises, and picked up the big bow on the ground again.
She reclaimed her arrogance, posed according to Jiuwen's instructions, slammed her arms hard, and shouted: "Open!" β
I saw the big bow open in response to the sound and pull a full moon.
"Good!" General Song stood with his big finger and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be a little man who really has the strength!" Haha, good boy, how old is that? β
"Ten...... Six years old. Qing'er almost blurted out that she was fourteen years old. But it suddenly occurred to me that it had been a year since I got the fish charm, and I should be sixteen years old, so dangerous!
"No wonder! Ha ha. You're young, and you'll have a chance to jump in the future! β
General Song glanced at Qing'er a few times, turned his head to King Liang and said, "I said, give me this kid, rare good strength, let you waste it here!" β
King Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "The old general said that Lu Qing was the eighth place in the township school of the two states this time. Xiao Wang is still waiting for him to go to the middle capital to take the examination for a half-official position, and promote the prestige of my Liangzhou and Ba Erzhou in the Western Regions! β
General Song grinned and laughed: "Since ancient times, there have been no Wenchen in the Western Regions, even if you can take the test for a small official with sesame mung beans." It's better to follow me to the army for a few years of training, and fight for a martial arts job to be more vigorous. β
Where is King Liang?!
He listened to Xi's opinion early in the morning, and intended to ask Lu Qing to go to the Zhongdu scientific examination to earn a single subject leader, but he hesitated because of the dog's report.
Now Qing'er's identity has been proven. How can you let it go again!
At that moment, King Liang implicitly resigned General Song. Then he looked at the people who were kneeling down and said in a sharp voice,
"Song Shugou is so bold that he dares to bewitch this king! Come on, pull him out and cut him down! β
The dog kowtowed like pounding garlic, crying and shouting for the mercy of the king of Liang.
Qing'er couldn't bear to cry when she heard him, and she couldn't help but think of his innocent appearance when they met for the first time, and she was a little hesitant to intercede for him.
Xi Hao wanted to see through her thoughts, and pressed his big hand on her hand. He shook his head with a serious expression.
Qing'er then thought of the dog's heart-wrenching words just now, pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Two soldiers were about to drag the dog out. The dog screamed, "I'll just say one more word, let me say one more word, or I'll die!" β
He has been stunted since he was a child, and he looks like a child less than ten years old, and even his voice is still a child's voice, and his cry is very sad and pitiful.
General Song frowned and begged King Liang, who waved his hand and retreated to both sides.
The dog wiped a handful of tears with his hand and asked Qing'er: "I'm going to die, and I want to understand when I'm dying." Lu Qing, since you are not cheap, why did you lie to me? Do you know that I will die on your words! β
Xi reacted very quickly, and the dog rushed to say before he shut up: "Song Shugou, you don't know how to repent when you die!" Your death has nothing to do with Qing'er, and a villain like you who is unkind, ungrateful, and rumor-mongering only deserves this kind of fate! β
The dog barked hoarsely: "I asked Lu Qing, I don't want you to answer, I don't talk to bad people!" Lu Qing, why did you lie to me? β
Qing'er sighed, how could she have deceived him?
It's just for Jiuwen, and it's just inconvenient to say a lot of things. I didn't expect this misunderstanding to make the dog drill the tip of the bull's horns and even take a life.
She understands that everything Xi said is right, it is the dog's own problem, but she still can't bear it, the dog is not such a person!
Qing'er choked up and said: "Just now Xi said that I love your clever talent and respect your studious nature, why shouldn't I?" In my eyes, the 'lowly nationality system' is an evil law and should be banned! It's just that I'm soft-spoken, so what can I do? You are obviously sharp and studious, but you can't get ahead because of your background. I feel sorry for you, and I want to do my best to help you, but I didn't expect ...... But that's the result! β
Qing'er was already in tears when she said this, she wiped a handful of tears and continued: "This is my true words, whether you believe it or not, I will say it all here." β
The dog nodded with tears in his eyes: "I believe it!" Brother Qing can't deceive people, it's my own life. Actually, people like me shouldn't be studying, but I ...... I really love to read! β
The two of them cried so much that they couldn't speak anymore, and King Liang asked coldly, "Finished?" β
The dog raised his head violently, looked at the hall greedily again, and smiled at Qing'er: "I was fortunate to see such a magnificent hall in my lifetime, and it is not in vain that I came to this world!" It's a pity that my mother and brother don't believe it, they must think I'm bragging! β
As soon as King Liang waved his hand, the two pro-soldiers set up the dog and dragged it out.
But I heard the dog chant aloud: "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find the light!" β
"Dogs!"
Qing'er couldn't help crying when she heard this poem and fell to the ground, was she really wrong?
Shouldn't she have encouraged the dog to read in the first place, shouldn't she have helped him find his impossible dream?
If she hadn't memorized Gu Cheng's poem at the beginning, then the dog might still be gluing cardboard boxes at home now. Maybe there is a little sorrow, but life is still there, maybe he has married, or even become a father.
Qing'er's current mood is just like the hesitation mentioned by Lu Xun, seeing a room of people who are about to suffocate to death, should they scream and wake people up?
However, is it even more painful for people who wake up to die in irretrievable suffering?
The dog is the awakened one, but no matter how hard he tries, he still can't get rid of the remnants of blood that seeped into the bone marrow, and he was finally "abandoned" halfway.
Maybe she's too much to do?
Maybe she's too naΓ―ve?
Maybe as a person who has crossed over, he shouldn't fall into such a deep place at all, and shouldn't affect the lives of others?
Or is she not doing enough, and she is also part of the abandoned dog halfway?
Since she and Nishi have been together, she has given almost all her energy to Nishi, and she is indeed much more estranged from the dog.
Whether she is responsible for the dog's death or not, Qing'er is at a loss in her heart. (To be continued......)
