"Young master, it's really cold in the capital, it's just winter, and Dong'er is about to put on cotton wool."

A little girl dressed as a maid chirped and said, "Why don't we wait for the New Year at home to come back?"

"Dong'er, young master, I've said it many times, why can't you remember?"

"Well, but Dong'er still thinks that Jiangnan Water Town is good."

"If you wanted to go back, you shouldn't have come with me in the first place."

"But the young master ......"

Dong'er was aggrieved, and when she saw that she was about to cry, the young master stretched his hand and stuffed a persimmon into Dong'er's mouth.

Dong'er immediately stopped talking, and ate with peace of mind, and only after eating did she say unsatisfied: "There is a lot of food in the capital." Master, you must like the food in the capital, that's why you came early......"

The young master glared at Dong'er, and she stopped talking.

"Hmm, Dong'er is wrong, young master, calm down."

The two wandered on the street for a while, and they didn't meet anyone worth befriending, this young man is called Lin Xin, who came from the south of the Yangtze River, and came to the capital to participate in the spring festival of the second year, according to him, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the time.

In fact, I just made an excuse to leave home early, come to the capital for a good stroll, and feel the free life without the constraints of elders.

Although he had relatives in the capital, he didn't want to have too close a relationship with them, so he bought a yard to live in.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Lin Xin smelled a strange smell. Lin Xin loves cleanliness very much, although it is not to the level of cleanliness, but he is a little sensitive to taste.

He sniffed carefully in the air and said to Dong'er, "There seems to be something in our yard?"

"What's that?"

Dong'er frowned and thought for a while and said, "Is it that Ah Huang next door came to steal food and left ...... by the way?"

"You mean the yellow dog? It's not the smell of a dog, it's not the smell of his feces, it seems to be a little like ......"

"The smell of blood?"

"Yes, yes, that's what it tastes like, how do you know?"

Dong'er pointed to the lying thing on the ground not far in front of them and said, "Young master, look, our family has been robbed, and this thief has left himself behind."

Lin Xin had some slight night blindness, and he couldn't see things clearly at night, so he didn't know that there was a person lying in his yard, so he could only look at the moonlight vaguely and there seemed to be something in the yard.

"Dong'er, you're telling a bad joke to the young master, right? How could this thief leave himself behind, did our family arrange any traps, and still hurt him, so that he could not stay by himself, so he is not a thief. ”

Lin Xin asked Dong'er to light the lamp, and he squatted on the ground to look at the person in front of him and check his condition.

When Dong'er brought a few bright lights, she saw that the person in front of her was actually a woman.

She was wearing a green shirt, her face was pale, her lips were blue, and her breath was very weak, but it could be seen that she was not dead.

Under closer inspection, I found that she was dressed in green clothes, and there were many places

The place had become black, and the back could barely be covered, and it could be seen that it was crisscrossed with scars, and although the blood had stopped, it had not coagulated, and it looked like it had just been wounded.

Dong'er also squatted beside Lin Xin and said, "Young master, is this a girl?"

"Yes, hurry up, find someone to send her to the official."

Dong'er's mouth opened slightly, her eyes widened and she looked at the young master, as if she didn't know him, and said, "Why is this?" Won't we save her? ”

"It doesn't seem appropriate to send her off, just throw her out the door."

Dong'er's eyes were even bigger, and she was even more puzzled: "Young master, this is also a human life."

"You can see that she is so badly injured, and you should know that this woman has a story. Do you know what a story represents, and a story means trouble, and once this kind of trouble is touched, it is a dead word. ”

Dong'er snorted disdainfully and said, "Young Master, don't you like trouble the most?"

Lin Xin knocked Dong'er with a folding fan and said, "Your young master, I like to make trouble for others, but I don't like trouble to come to me, let alone this kind of inexplicable trouble, don't say it, throw her out."

"But in this cold winter, this girl has been so seriously injured, if we don't save her when we see death, we will leave her outside, I'm afraid she won't survive tonight."

Lin Xin sighed, only felt that Dong'er was still too simple, thirty percent of this girl fell here on purpose, and as for the other seventy percent, he couldn't say.

"That's also her creation, seeing that this girl has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and she also has the posture of sinking fish and geese, there are always people who pick her up without opening their eyes and take care of her carefully. That's better than having him with us and causing us trouble. ”

Lin Xin said while carefully checking the impropriety of this girl, and found that in addition to the back injury, there were several other knife wounds, but they had already been medicated, but I was afraid that there was no way to deal with this back, so it would be kept, but I had the ability to deal with the wound, so that I couldn't even enter the house, and the suspicion of this deliberate was a little bigger.

"Young master, you are not close to people, if you don't save her, it's fine, I must save her."

Dong'er glared at her and confronted her young master. I don't know why the young master, who has read poetry and books, is so timid and afraid, if he is an official at this time, he is afraid that he will harm the people.

However, after thinking about it, Dong'er felt that it was too much for her to think so, and her young master still understood it. The most soft-hearted, I will definitely not see death without help, but now I have too many concerns.

As for him after becoming an official, he doesn't necessarily have to go to the local magistrate to be a county, and it's good to be a Beijing official.

Lin Xin sighed and said, "You're still too young to understand anything. She was so badly injured that she could still find a place to hide, and no one found here, which shows that she is a capable person. Do you know what kind of wound she has on her body, it's thistle, and if it hits an ordinary person, it can be fatal with a single blow, but look at this girl......"

"Young master, I don't understand what you said. I only know this person, we can save it, why not save it?

”

Dong'er's words asked Lin Xin, he just said so much, isn't he just saying that this girl is in trouble and can't be saved?

But he understood that what Dong'er was asking was why people couldn't see death in front of them and not save them, and as for the things he was worried about, he could wait until he was done saving people.

"Then send her to the wing, young master, I have to think about what to do."

When a person suddenly appeared in the family who was seriously injured for no apparent reason, anyone would think more.

Dong'er hasn't seen much of the world, and the Lin family has always been just kind, except for some mean-speaking people, there are few really bad eyes, so Dong'er's personality is quite simple, and Lin Xin took her for this reason.

"Okay, young master."

But after a while, this Dong'er said again: "Young master, I can't move alone."

Lin Xin sighed, a little doubtful that he was still a young master after all, and reached out to help.
