140: Liangshan and Ah Xiang (1)
Nalan Jinxiu is really unambiguous, and the next day, he gathered the villagers of the two villages together and counted a series of crimes against Liangshan, which was like a surging river.
The villagers listened to her, and then looked at the good mountain tied to her, and their hearts were more incredulous. Liangshan is just a thin child. How can you do so many evil things? But this girl is their savior, and she will definitely not lie. For a while, I wasn't sure which side I should trust or whom I should support.
"Because Liangshan is heinous and his crimes are extremely heinous, and they have caused extremely bad effects, he was sentenced to be hanged and executed tomorrow. This was the last thing Nalan Jinxiu said about this matter.
As soon as she said this, the crowd suddenly exploded. In a small village like theirs, there are very few offenses, and even if there is something that the village chief cannot mediate and alarms the officers and soldiers, it is probably enough to be locked up for two days or fined some money. I've never heard of anyone who has committed a mortal sin. Isn't this hanging just about strangling people to death?
"Could it be a mistake, Liangshan is just a twelve-year-old child, how can he commit so many crimes?"
"yes, yes, could it be that he was wronged?"
"This kid is also a hard-working person, and he hasn't enjoyed happiness, so it's better to open the net and leave him a way to live!"
......
The villagers pleaded for Liangshan with every word, but Liangshan himself behaved very calmly. It was the first time for Nalan Jinxiu to see such a young person, and he could see life and death so lightly, or rather, he was loveless.
When she thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable. After all, in the last life, she was also disheartened and had nothing to love, so she finally chose death. Because I have experienced it, I have become compassionate. She wanted to help the poor child within the scope of her ability.
Liangshan was about to be taken down, he hadn't eaten anything from last night to this morning, and he had been in the sun for so long, the whole person felt top-heavy, and a step was like stepping on cotton. The officers and soldiers who escorted him couldn't help but scold him again when they saw that he was walking slowly. Liangshan remained silent, quietly bearing their pushing.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't speak, her eyes staring at the crowd quietly. Everyone else was talking to each other, only two of them reacted somewhat unusually. One is Ah Xiang, and the other is a slightly obese young man she has no impression, but the person is brightly dressed, and he is also a little conspicuous in a group of sackcloth.
Nalan Jinxiu felt that the relationship between these two people and Liangshan must be extraordinary, and he could start from them to see if he could get some useful information. So when she was detained, she deliberately left a gap for a period of time, leaving Liangshan unguarded.
Xu Jince was dragged by her to guard outside the firewood room, and the two waited until late at night, but no one came. Nalan Jinxiu was wearing a thick coat, but she was still a little cold and couldn't stand it, and the night in northern Xinjiang was the most difficult to endure. Xu Jince had no choice but to open his big coat, half-wrapped her in his arms, and guarded quietly.
Xu was because of blood relations, even if Nalan Jinxiu was so close to him, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort, as if they should have been. In Xu Jinsheng's memory, Xu Jince often protected her like this, he was used to his brother and dependent.
Although Nalan Jinxiu wore little deerskin velvet boots on her feet, she should not be cold, but because she stood for too long, she was also frozen. She couldn't help but stomp her feet, hoping to get the blood flowing faster to resist the cold.
"Your feet are cold?" Xu Jince asked her with his head bowed.
He was very tall, and Nalan Jinxiu's height was not even his shoulders now. She raised her head with great difficulty, bared her teeth and asked, "Why is the temperature difference in Northern Xinjiang so big in a day? I have never come out in the middle of the night, and now I know that it is so cold." ”
Xu Jince laughed in a low voice and whispered: "You were very playful when you were a child, and you froze your feet when you went out in winter, and you cried in pain." Mother made you a cover out of cotton that you could wrap around your toes, and if you put shoes on the outside, you would jump and jump when you walked. ”
Nalan Jinxiu also laughed, but after laughing, his feet still felt cold. Just when she couldn't hold it anymore, a figure flashed outside the firewood room. When the man opened the door and went in, Xu Jince took her closer, and from the cat's eye left in advance, he quietly saw the scene inside the firewood room.
"Now there is no one, those who are soldiers are lazy to go to sleep, I will take you away. The man wrapped himself so tightly that only a pair of eyes were exposed, and judging by his voice and size, he should be in the prime of life.
"You go away!" said Liangshan coldly.
"Boy, don't toast and don't eat and drink, the master is saving your life now. ”
"I don't need to. ”
"It's up to you whether you need it or not. ”
As he spoke, the man stepped forward and pulled Liangshan to take him away. Who knew that Liangshan actually resisted frantically, and the reason why that kind of rebellion was called crazy was because it was too hysterical. Nalan Jinxiu was on the not-so-bright light of the firewood room, and even saw the bloodshot under Liangshan's eyes.
"Are you enough? Believe it or not, I'm going to knock you out right now!"
"Don't come here and pretend to be a good person, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I tell you plainly, you dream, you don't think. ”
When the man heard Liangshan's words, he laughed maniacally. The voice was inexplicably uncomfortable, but why it was uncomfortable, Nalan Jinxiu couldn't tell. Anyway, I just felt harsh, and I just didn't want him to laugh like this anymore.
"Whether you want it or not, it's happening, it's a fact. You are my person, you don't want to escape in this life, even if you die, you have to agree to it!"
"You fuck off. Liangshan screamed hysterically, struggling even harder, the blood red under his eyes deepened, and he looked at the man with resentment.
Nalan Jinxiu was stunned for a while before she realized what she had discovered. Some of the children of the aristocracy have a hobby of handsome young men and will be raised, and most of the children will be tortured, resulting in psychological and physical defects. She had also seen someone send a prostitute to Zong Xuanyi, and the child spoke loudly to him, and he was afraid of it, and finally she let him go.
Nalan Jinxiu looked at Liangshan, the thin, weak and desperate young man, his body was shaking like chaff. A nameless fire rose in her heart, and the thought of protecting the boy overshadowed everything. If Xu Jince hadn't grabbed her, I'm afraid she would have rushed in. She struggled, about to speak. I heard Xu Jince whisper in her ear: "Don't move yet, someone is coming again." ”
Sure enough, another figure quickly entered the firewood room. He held a wooden stick in his hand, and it was a hard stick to the masked man who was still pulling Liangshan. The man snorted and fainted.
"Liangshan, are you alright?"
It wasn't until the person asked later that Nalan Jinxiu was sure that he was Ah Xiang. The young man who looks very bright, talks a lot, and admires Xu Jince.
"I'm fine. "Liangshan has also calmed down now.
"I'll kill him right now. ”
Ah Xiang took a stone from a corner of the firewood room, apparently trying to stone the man to death. Liangshan rushed over, hugged his arm, and said incoherently: "Ah Xiang, you can't kill people, otherwise you will be ruined, and you will have to give this kind of person a scum." ”
"I'm not afraid, anyway, my life is not like this. ”
"You're talking nonsense!" Liangshan was obviously excited again, and his voice was a few degrees higher than usual: "That thing has nothing to do with you, I did it." ”
"No!" Ah Xiang shouted.
"Don't be so loud, if you are heard, it will be over. ”
"I just want everyone to hear about it, let them know that I caused the poison and that it has nothing to do with you. ”
"How could it be okay, if you weren't trying to save me, how could you poison me?"
Ah Xiang was a little about to cry, he said: "You and I are both orphans, and we survived with great difficulty. I willingly want to help you because I see in you the poor self. But one person does the same thing, and I can't let you take the blame for me. ”
Liangshan shook his head: "This crime is the two of us, and now that I am alone, you can still live a normal life, isn't it worth it?"
"It's not worth it, my conscience will be troubled for the rest of my life. ”
"What are you worried about, you know that I will never be better again, how can I be okay after going through that kind of thing? I am like a walking dead alive, it is better to be dead. But you're different, you still have dreams, and you can do what you want to do. ”
"Don't you also have a dream? At the beginning, we said that we would go to the Xuanjia Army together, perform well on the battlefield, be a majestic general, and make the Beiyan people frightened like the young marshal......" Ah Xiang choked up when he said this, and said: "This dream is obviously the two of us, how can you say forget it?"
"I've forgotten, but you remember, you can help me finish my part. I don't ask for much, but if one day, when you can really ride your horse down the street, remember that I had the same dream as you, it would be enough. Liangshan's tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell, and he choked up and said: "It is said that people have left their names and geese have left their voices, as long as there are still people in this world, they can remember that a person named Liangshan has come, really, it is enough." ”
"You're not enough! You're my only friend, and if you die, won't I'll be left alone in this world?" we said we wanted to be brothers and family...... "Liangshan cried, and Ah Xiang cried too.
After all, the two of them were still teenagers, and they forgot where they were when they cried and cried, and they didn't want to run away, so they just hugged their heads and cried. The big young man who had just been knocked unconscious woke up suddenly, he picked up the wooden stick that Ah Xiang had thrown aside, and swung it at Ah Xiang hard......
