(15) When I was a teenager, goblins were beaten
"Henna, what's wrong with you!" On the way back, Fran looked at Henna's somewhat gloomy expression and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I guess I'm tired." Henna herself doesn't understand what's going on, anyway, she just can't lift her spirits today, she probably just came back from the battlefield, so that's why it's like this, she must be fine if she rests today.
It is now the April day of Loulan, the spring is brilliant, in the sunshine, the grass and trees are full of vitality, walking on the boulevard, hearing the cheerful call of the birds in the trees, it is very pleasant.
"Ram, did you tell Big Brother to go on an outing together today?" Feida and Ram asked, riding side by side.
"Of course!" Ram said: "Our elder brother, like an old man, would rather stay in the study and smell the fragrance and read than go out and walk around more. ”
Felda shook her head, and saw that the two girls in front of her were chatting happily.
Henna said: "Uncle Roda is famous, the last time I tasted the fine wine brewed by others in the market, and talked endlessly about the skills of winemaking, but the owner of the house took a fancy to him, and insisted that he be his son-in-law, so scared that he ran around the street!" ”
Hear Bassma and Fran laughing side by side.
"Our Uncle Luo Da's charm still exists, not surprising!" Frandaw.
Bassma said, "Uncle Roda is good anywhere, it's Rory's wordy." Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that he told me to promote the marriage as soon as possible, and I was a little depressed for a while.
Henna also understood, and hurriedly said, "We brought it to you from Wusun, but you are still used to eating!" ”
"Of course. I also brought the people from the nunnery. "Feda said it would be expanded later to allow more people to be taken care of. ”
The five of them talked and laughed, and wanted to take advantage of the sunny weather to walk halfway up the mountain to overlook the cloud view. I could only hear a commotion in front of me.
"Pipa Spirit, get out!" It turned out that two Loulan women were beating people with brooms. The beaten man was wearing a coarse cloth cloak, as if he had a wound on his foot, so he couldn't run very fast, and he had already received a few blows on his body.
"Henna, there's a pipa spirit, hurry up and take a look." Ram urged from behind, causing Henna to glare at him vigorously. A few men walked in that direction.
"It's General Henna, oh, and Your Highness." The two villagers hurriedly saluted.
It seemed that they were just the simple people of Loulan, and Feida asked, "Why are you beating people?" "Look again, the beaten person is already running away.
"Your Highness, at that time, the goblin was a pipa spirit."
Henna and Bathma rode up to the beaten man and blocked his way, and Bathma was at last a little frightened, and she leaned a little back, and asked:
"You, are you alright?" The man shook his head vigorously and kept running with his head down. However, the blood on his feet was pouring out more, and the man was clearly a little overwhelmed.
Just as Henna was about to ask again, Bassma had already jumped off the horse, so frightened that Henna and Fran also jumped off the horse.
"You seem to have a serious injury on your foot!" Bassma slowly approached her, "Otherwise, you should rest for a while, we should bring some medicine for external injuries." As she spoke, Bassma looked back at Henna and Fran, who took out from his bosom the golden potion used in the battlefield, which he never left on weekdays.
The man looked at the people in front of him in horror with the eyes that appeared in his cloak, and slowly took off the hat of his cloak.
Where are the ghosts, they are a beautiful woman, no fat powder, coarse linen clothes, natural beauty. Everyone was taken aback by this.
"This good person, you call her Pipa Spirit! Look at people's beauty and jealousy? Ram asked.
"Your Highness, she is a pipa spirit. It has been said for generations that the twin sons are the reincarnation of the Pipa Spirit, which will bring disaster to the village, and she is the one who was born together, and she must be the Pipa Spirit! ”
Feda and Ram understood at once. Although not all areas of Loulan have this kind of rumor, there are indeed a large number of people who agree with this statement. Actually, it's just twins, but when a twin was born a long time ago, it happened to catch up with a natural disaster, and the chance of twins was small, so it was passed down that "twins are evil and bring disasters".
Feida smiled: "To deal with spirits, you actually use a broom, is it useful?" ”
"Maybe it's because this pipa is weak." The two villagers were persistent.
Ram looked the woman up and down again, and couldn't help but beat a little in his heart, wondering if the pipa spirit really had some mana that would bring disaster to Loulan. After all, Feida's mother family is not from Loulan, and she doesn't believe these rumors very much, but the so-called folk affairs are not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and it is useless to justify it, so don't make a sound, don't waste your lips and tongues.
Ram said: "Okay, the pipa spirit will be handed over to us, you can leave first." ”
"Okay, okay." The two of them resigned, walked a few steps, and turned around and said, "Your Highness, you must be careful of the pipa spirit." His righteous words made several people cry and laugh.
The pipa spirit hung his head slightly and said softly, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Henna and the others didn't hear such a statement, they only knew that this was just two twin children together, how did they become pipa spirits here.
Looking at her gently wiping her wounds, like a wounded animal, there is no other way but to lick it by herself. Bassma couldn't help but ask: "They said that you are a pipa spirit, and you don't defend anything, and soon you will admit it!" ”
The woman looked at her and said, "This is how our village has been passed down for generations. ”
"Then you should have a sister!"
"When I was sensible, I heard that the person who was born with me had already died, and because she died early, the villagers barely killed me."
"Then your family ......"
The woman shook her head.
Fei Da said in his heart, Loulan will not easily let go of the pipa spirit, even if he wants to burn them, and his family will not let them go easily, maybe he will inevitably be killed by the villagers after all. However, it is difficult to determine whether the villagers are guilty or not.
The woman said, "I know that I don't know, and I usually hide." But today, there is no way to do it today, there is really no food at home. ”
Basima said: "You are in a difficult situation, we have a nunnery in Loulan, you can also go, they are all isolated and helpless people, and everyone can be each other's company." ”
"No, no," the woman said in a loud voice, "I, I can't go." I'll be careful in the future. If it weren't for a few nobles, I wouldn't have to suffer today, thank you for your great kindness, but I would also go back. ”
Bassma tried to persuade her again, but Felda patted her gently, only to see the woman put on her cloak again, drag her injured foot as hard as she could, and walk away slowly.
Bassma muttered to herself, "Why don't you let us send her off on horseback, she's all hurt!" ”
Fei Da said: "Look at her, she is in a hurry, thinking about whether she wants to talk to too many people, it's just fate, so don't worry about it." Bassma sighed.
A few people had not yet reached the halfway point of the mountain, but at this time the sky changed slightly, and there was a great precursor to a thunderstorm, so they could only collect their interest and turn their horses' heads back.
And the woman, who was called the pipa spirit, endured the pain all the way, and finally returned to her wooden house, and as soon as she pushed the door, the man inside rushed out and grabbed her urgently: "Where have you been, if it weren't for the child here, I would have rushed out to find you." ”
"How can you go?"
The little boy in the house also ran over and hugged her.
"Today, the food at home is gone, so I secretly went out from the trail and went to the market to buy some."
"It's all my fault!" The man looked sad and punched himself hard: "I've been stumbling over it for the past few days, and I can't get out." My heart was dying, and I didn't dare to reveal it. ”
"Don't say that. You have so many things to do, and you have to come to see me secretly......" She held back her tears and cried......
