Chapter 484: You can play mahjong
That girl has middle and upper grades, she still loves to study, if she continues to work hard, she can be admitted to a good university, she has a boyfriend who dotes on her, she has a good job, she has a very complete life, although she is not rich but happy. It's just because of her beauty that she eventually became the capital of others to show off, and people were proud of chasing her and getting her on her, maliciously changing her life. And the girl who was hurt became the laughing stock of others.
People never feel that they are murderers, they are like insensitive spectators in Lu Xun's pen. In fact, poor people do not hide the ugliness of their human nature, the miners who deceived and killed migrant workers in "Blind Well", and the villagers who knew that a female college student was abducted in "Blind Mountain" helped the same village beat up the escaping female college student, and even wanted to violate her. Because of poverty and ignorance, they wantonly inflict their evil on the weak, and when faced with the powerful, they often wag their tails and beg for mercy in the face of the powerful.
Zhang Xiaowu lived in the countryside during his childhood, and after his grandfather died, people in the same village clamored for his father's brothers to compete for the family property, and the brothers fought each other. What is the difference between the villagers who are agitating for his uncle to fight and the villagers in the blind mountain and the miners in the blind shaft?
Now Shang Wan'er is so calm and terrifying, it is completely conceivable how much she and her mother-in-law have been hurt along the road. Zhang Xiaowu remembered that when she was relieving Shang Wan'er and her mother-in-law in Mucheng, she was just over six years old that year, and her eyes were full of horror and worry. And now, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't see any fear in Shang Wan'er's eyes, he didn't know what happened to Shang Wan'er, but he knew that it must not be so beautiful.
What a person goes through at an early age can change her personality dramatically and even affect her whole life.
Zhang Xiaowu just didn't expect that Shang Wan'er was only nine years old, and she already looked down on life and death, whether it was someone else's or her own.
But she always regards Zhang Xiaowu as the only person to rely on and trust in her heart, maybe it is the teachings of her mother-in-law, maybe she met Zhang Xiaowu when she was about to starve to death, and even when someone wants to hurt him, she will not hesitate to kill, she is sensitive and cold-blooded, persistent and extreme.
Zhang Xiaowu sighed, slowly stretched out his hand, and put it on top of her head, he felt her unnatural and resistant to contact, but maybe because of trusting Zhang Xiaowu, Shang Wan'er tried her best to restrain herself from getting rid of it. She is like a little wolf, cruel and forbearing, rebellious in her heart, untamed, but grateful. Zhang Xiaowu waited for a while, and after she was emotionally stable, he gently stroked her head, and he found that she was a little relaxed.
"You come with me, and be my sister in the future." Zhang Xiaowu said softly, "You shouldn't be like this, you should have a good future, you should live well." ”
Shang Wan'er shook her head and said, "I don't need your help, I'm fine here." ”
Zhang Xiaowu stood up from the kang, then squatted down, approached her, stared at her eyes and said sincerely: "Sister Wan'er, I am from Tucheng, you are also from Tucheng, we are one of the few people who survived in Tucheng, you call me brother, is it okay?" ”
Shang Wan'er smiled happily, nodded and said, "Brother." ”
Zhang Xiaowu laughed, and after making up his mind, he said firmly: "Wan'er, since you call me brother, I will recognize you as a sister, and from now on you will be my relative and my own sister." Since you are my sister, I have the obligation to take care of you, if you go with me, I will not let you be a thief, and I will not let you fall into the rivers and lakes. ”
"Huh? You lied to me. But Shang Wan'er didn't get angry, she seemed to be happy that she had an older brother, but she didn't want to rely on others, so she asked, "What's so bad about being a thief?" At least better than the most beggars, they won't be beaten, and they still have food. ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly and said: "Wan'er, you are talking about a thief who has not been caught, but being a thief will be caught one day, and one day he will be killed." ”
Shang Wan'er disdainfully said: "Kill it, kill it, then I'll go to the underworld to accompany my mother-in-law." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said seriously: "Your mother-in-law doesn't want you to go down to accompany her, do you know?" She wants you to live, she also wants you to live, only if you live, can your mother-in-law be reincarnated with peace of mind. My mother-in-law has suffered so much just to let you live a good life, not to make you so unsure of your life. ”
Shang Wan'er asked again: "I don't believe it, how do you know that she doesn't want me to accompany her?" ”
"She gave me a dream and told me that I must take care of her granddaughter so that I can find you." Zhang Xiaowu lied, Shang Wan'er stared at his eyes, and the two looked at each other for a long time before nodding.
Zhang Xiaowu happily took her hand and took her out of the room to the courtyard, but saw that there was no one in the courtyard, and he didn't know where this Pi Er had gone.
"Hey, where are we going?" Shang Wan'er asked.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You have to call my brother first, I don't call him." ”
Shang Wan'er hesitated for a moment, and when she saw Zhang Xiaowu's hopeful eyes, she whispered, "Brother, where are we going now?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Go back to my house." ”
"Your home? You're at home - good brother. Shang Wan'er said.
Zhang Xiaowu said again: "But before we leave, I have to tell Brother Pi about this, I can't take you away for no reason." ”
Shang Wan'er grabbed his hand at this time, and said arrogantly: "I can leave if I want, no one can keep me." ”
Zhang Xiaowu educated her and said: "Sister, that's not the truth, it was Pi Er who saved you, you should have an explanation for him, and I should also give an account to him, do you know?" This is the sophistication of human feelings, what are the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are the sophistication of human feelings. He deliberately learned the tone of Zhang Zuolin played by Mr. Li Xuejian in the TV series "Young Marshal".
Shang Wan'er nodded: "Hmm." ”
They waited at the door for a while, and then they saw Pi Er happily walking over with an old woman. The old woman told along the way: "This mountain woman, she can also be regarded as a great beauty on our street, in the past, some people climbed the wall to peek, but now that her man is dead, there are many prodigals at the door of people's homes." If it weren't for the New Year's celebration these days, I was afraid that someone would break in directly. ”
"Huh? Didn't anyone report to the officer? Pi Er asked.
Mrs. Wang said: "How to report this kind of thing?" The government is a place to eat people, and if the mountain woman sues the official, I am afraid that the government will take her house back. Alas, I heard that Shanzi's relatives in the countryside originally wanted to go into the city to rob the house, but it was because the Chinese New Year was delayed - if your friend had a silver-like pewter spear head and met Shanzi's relatives in the countryside, I was afraid that something bad would happen. ”
Pi Er said: "How do you say this, my friend is a killer - a cow!" ”
Wang Pozi said: "Those who kill cows, those who have killed animals, should be full of blood and energy, and be able to suppress those poor haha." ”
Pi Eryi looked up and saw Zhang Xiaowu with Shang Wan'er, so he trotted a few steps, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Brother Sai, why are you waiting for me at the door?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu raised Shang Wan'er's hand and said, "Brother Pi, I have to thank you for saving my sister." ”
"Huh?" Pi Er was pleasantly surprised, "She's really your sister?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "We are all from Tucheng, do you know Tucheng?" ”
"I don't know."
"It's one of the five cities in Saibei, but after it was captured by Inuyi, they slaughtered the city." Zhang Xiaowu's expression was gloomy, "We were separated after we escaped, thank you for finding her." ”
Pi Er laughed: "Congratulations, your prodigal son also has a family, I need to celebrate today, I'll go buy wine." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "No need, this is-"
Pi Er hurriedly introduced sideways: "This is the famous Wang Pozi of our Fuguifang, just now I went to Wang Pozi's house to help you make peace, Wang Pozi said, if you are interested, she is willing to help other orphans and widows, and it can be regarded as a good deed." ”
Zhang Xiaowu cried and laughed: "You are too enthusiastic, I didn't agree." ”
The princess looked Zhang Xiaowu up and down, and said with satisfaction: "It's a strong man, not very old, less than thirty, right?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu had a black line on his face: "I am twenty-two this year." ”
Pi Er jumped up and said in surprise: "You're only twenty-two? Not like, not like! ”
Zhang Xiaowu tried his best to control his emotions so that he would not beat people, and said: "Thank you Brother Pi for your help, but unfortunately my younger brother likes this kind of life, and I took my sister to enjoy it." ”
Pi Er immediately stopped them and asked, "Where are you going?" You're a prodigal with a little girl, aren't you afraid of danger? ”
Shang Wan'er said: "I am willing to follow my eldest brother, even if it is nine deaths, I am willing." ”
Pi Er scratched his head and said, "Okay, let's go, it's just that it's almost the New Year, where are you going?" Do you stay at guest houses? Or do you live in the host's house? In this case, it is better to live in my house-" Thinking that his house was not enough to live in, he rubbed his fingers embarrassedly and said, "My house is a little smaller." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I'll take her back to my house." ”
Shang Wan'er naturally didn't know that Zhang Xiaowu was now the crown prince Shaobao, and she didn't know what Yinyiwei was, she only believed in Zhang Xiaowu alone, and felt that it would be good to follow him wherever she went. She held Zhang Xiaowu's hand tightly, and after walking a little briskly, she saw a ready-to-wear store.
After Zhang Xiaowu took her in, he was very curious when he saw that the clothes inside were all adult clothes.
"Shopkeeper, make my sister a decent dress, ask for the best materials, and make the best clothes." Zhang Xiaowu took out twenty taels of silver from his arms and put them directly on the platform, "We are waiting here, when will you do it, and when will the silver be taken away." ”
The shopkeeper and his wife were going to clean up the storefront, and they wanted to do more business in the past few days, but unfortunately this year was not good, and no one bought clothes before the New Year. Most of the ready-to-wear shops make clothes and trousers for men, and very few make clothes for women, let alone for girls. But when he saw the shining silver, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said, "It's good to say, let my daughter make it for her." ”
It usually takes five days to make a custom dress like this, but twenty taels of silver is enough for ten of their small shop's income for three months, so the money can make the whole family of the mill and the shopkeeper busy, and it took an hour to make new clothes suitable for Shang Wan'er. Wearing new clothes and new shoes, Shang Wan'er once again bloomed a lovely smile, she turned around and asked, "Brother, is it good-looking?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said, "It's so good-looking, Wan'er can be the queen in the future." ”
Shang Wan'er finally jumped back to Zhang Xiaowu's side like a little girl, holding his hand and refusing to let go, she was worried that all this was a dream, and when she woke up, there was nothing left. Of course, she was not dreaming, but it was more like a dream, because not long after, she followed Zhang Xiaowu to the back door of a house. Zhang Xiaowu opened the lock and walked straight in with her, Shang Wan'er said fearfully: "Brother, this is someone else's house, if you are found by his master, you will be killed." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "This is my home, who dares to beat me." ”
Shang Wan'er asked, "Brother, what do you do?" Are you a thug? Or a dart head? ”
Zhang Xiaowu asked rhetorically: "What do you think I do?" ”
Shang Wan'er thought for a while and said, "Are you a rich man in business?" ”
"Hahaha-" Zhang Xiaowu laughed, "No, I'm not a rich man, but the big rich man is in my charge." My identity is to be an official, to be a small official, the prince Shaobao, you know? ”
Shang Wan'er shook her head and said, "I don't understand." ”
"You'll understand in the future, a very troublesome official, because there is a bear child who needs my protection and education." Zhang Xiaowu said.
Shang Wan'er said: "If he is disobedient, you can just kill him." ”
Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Don't say death easily in the future, as long as you can live, don't die." Every human life is precious, yours, mine, and someone else's. ”
Shang Wan'er nodded as if she didn't understand, but she was actually comforting him.
Several servants were preparing a meal for the New Year, and when they saw Zhang Xiaowu, they hurriedly saluted: "The master is back." ”
"Well, you go ahead." Zhang Xiaowu led Shang Wan'er around, and the servants looked at the cute little girl curiously and talked in a low voice.
Zhang Xiaowu returned to the main room and introduced Shang Wan'er to everyone and said: "This is my sister, my own sister, her name is Wan'er, Wan'er and I are both from Tucheng, you know Tucheng, right?" There are not many people in our Tucheng who have survived, but I didn't expect us all to survive, fortunately! ”
Mang Chong and the others naturally know Tucheng, but they are people from Mucheng, how can they not know that Tucheng was slaughtered, and Yunyan lives in Two Wolf City, Wanqiu married to Mucheng, and she has also heard the story of Tucheng. Now that the people who see Tucheng, they don't even have to doubt Zhang Xiaowu's words, they think that this girl is his sister, or the sister of some relative. Everyone likes Shang Wan'er very much, because her big eyes, fair skin, slightly curly hair and round face all make people feel that she is just rightly beautiful.
"What a little beauty." Mang Chong looked Shang Wan'er up and down, and kept complimenting, "Why is Miss so good-looking, crystal clear." By the way, sir, now that we can finally make up a table of mahjong, I'll teach Miss to play mahjong later. ”
