Chapter 57: Life Experience
Qing'er looked at the stars hanging in the night sky, and after a long time, sighed wistfully.
Gu Bei glanced at her curiously, what happened to this girl today, she always felt weird, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little homesick." Qing'er said as she looked at the sky.
"If you miss your family, then go back and see, by the way, I have never seen your family?" Gu Bei said with a smile.
"I can't see it." A sad look flashed in Qing'er's eyes, and then she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled at Gu Bei, "Miss and Uncle are also the maid's family?" It's not too early, so let's rest early. With that, he turned around and went into the room.
"Qing'er..."Looking at Qing'er's lonely back and entering the room, Gu Bei felt that this girl was not simple, and muttered:
"Another little girl with a story behind her!"
"Brother-in-law, who has a story behind it?" Cheng Xiaoyi came behind Gu Bei and asked curiously, "Is my brother-in-law going to tell me a new story?" I haven't told you about it in a long time. ”
Gu Bei turned around and saw that a beautiful girl was standing behind her, it was Cheng Xiaoyi who had just finished bathing, the green silk covered with wet dew was scattered at will, and a lazy style was emanating with a faint fragrance...
Gu Bei couldn't help but look at it twice, Cheng Xiaoyi was looked at by his hot gaze, his face flushed, and he glanced at him coquettishly: "Brother-in-law, you haven't told me yet." ”
"What?" Gu Bei came back to his senses, quickly looked away, and said silently in his heart, can't look, can't look, this is your sister-in-law, she is underage? You can't be a beast...
Cheng Xiaoyi glanced at him dissatisfied, shook and coquettishly said: "Brother-in-law~"
Gu Bei's bones were crispy when he heard it, when had he ever seen such a Cheng Xiaoyi, she used to be very aggressive, like a boy's personality, I didn't expect the power of coquettishness to be so great, not to mention that in the dark night, lonely men and widows, Gu Bei felt... He had to do something, or something would have to happen.
He was a little cramped to suppress Xiao Beibei, who had a tendency to raise his head, and hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Xiaoyi, have you ever seen Qing'er's family?" ”
"Qing'er's family? What's wrong, you don't know? Cheng Xiaoyi said.
"I know what, I know I'm still asking you." Gu Bei said angrily.
What the hell is going on? He doesn't know how to know.
"My father died, and my mother was taken captive." After thinking about it, Cheng Xiaoyi sighed and said: "Qing'er's life experience is very bitter, more than three years ago, the old man went to Datong Mansion to inspect the border pass, passed by a village, and found corpses everywhere, it turned out that they had just been looted by the Turks, and after the looting, the entire village was slaughtered by the Turks. The old man sent people to search around, and finally found the only living hole in the rubble, which was Qing'er, who was only twelve years old at the time. ”
"I heard Sister Bai say that Qing'er had passed out at that time, and the old man asked the doctor to wake her up, and she kept crying as soon as she woke up. After the old man sent someone to investigate, he found out that Qing'er's father was the defender of Datong Mansion at that time, and he was still a personal soldier under his command before, and Qing'er died in battle when she was ten years old. Left their orphans and widows in the village not far from Datong Mansion to live a difficult life, who knows that the sky is not long-sighted, a small group of Turks came, killing all the old and young in the village, Qing'er's mother was in danger, Qing'er hid Qing'er in a water tank to hide, and only then survived. It's a pity that her mother, because of her beauty, was snatched away by the Turks, and poor Qing'er became an orphan without a father and mother at the age of twelve. ”
"Later, the old man saw that she was lonely, and she was the only orphan of the former soldiers, so he took her back to Baifu, thinking of accepting her as a granddaughter, so that Sister Bai could have a companion, who knows how Qing'er didn't agree, and kowtowed to the old man three times, saying that she was only willing to be a slave in Baifu to repay the old man for saving his life."
I see! Gu Bei suddenly realized, he didn't expect Qing'er's life experience to be so miserable, which Gu Bei never dreamed of.
"Because Qing'er's father is a military general, the kindergarten teacher has learned some martial arts from her father, and her skills are not bad, so at that time, Sister Bai transferred her to her side as a personal maid, in fact, Sister Bai has never treated her as a slave, and has always treated her as a sister."
Qing'er knows martial arts, he knows, after he came to Baifu, Luo Shi transferred Qing'er to him, just to protect his safety.
"Little girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I said it earlier, Aunt Ben dared to ask her to bring me tea and water. Gu Bei was dissatisfied, and actually asked Zhongliang to be a maid for him later, isn't this a long life.
"Sister Bai didn't tell you, what the hell did I do, and you didn't ask your brother-in-law!" Cheng Xiaoyi glanced at him coquettishly and wrinkled her cute nose.
"Brother-in-law, after listening to it, do you feel a sense of guilt! Do you think you should be kind to her in the future, in fact, Qing'er has always wanted to find her mother, and she firmly believes that her mother is still alive... Brother-in-law, do you want to persuade her? Cheng Xiaoyi said.
"That aunt went to persuade her, they were all victims of war, how many people were separated because of the war... Alas. ”
"It's all to blame for this damn Turk, who always offends my border, alas, it's been almost four years, in fact, even if Qing'er and her mother are still alive, it is estimated that the situation is..."Cheng Xiaoyi shook his head and didn't continue to say.
Gu Bei also understood what Xiaoyi meant, even if Qing'er's mother was still alive, I am afraid that she would become a slave girl of the Turks, and she lived a life that was worse than death in the tribe of the Turks, and the situation was estimated to be worrying, even if she found it, what would happen? No matter how high Qing'er's martial arts are, it is impossible to rescue her mother from the hands of the powerful Turks, so she can only be sent to death in vain.
Gu Bei dropped Cheng Xiaoyi and knocked on Qing'er's door, but he didn't wait for a response for a long time, thought about it, and pushed the door open.
In the room, Qing'er was sitting on a simple bed made of wooden planks with her knees crossed, staring at the oil lamp with vacant eyes, and two lines of tears on her face that had not yet dried.
Gu Bei felt distressed for a while, he had never seen such a side of Qing'er. She is only fifteen years old, and she is estimated to be still in high school in the 21st century, but now she has to bear heavy pressure, thinking about the safety of her relatives day and night, and she has to bear such torment every day in her heart, and she has to force a smile in front of everyone every day.
Walking forward, Gu Bei squatted down and held Qing'er's little hand tightly. Her hands were slender, her skeleton was small, and her delicate skin was pale and bloodless.
Qing'er retracted her hand back and looked at Gu Bei in surprise.
"Qing'er... I'm sorry, my uncle doesn't know..."Gu Bei wanted to tell her something.
"Uncle, you know everything, don't say I'm sorry, you... It's very good to the maid, since the uncle came, it was the happiest day for the maidservant.. It's supposed to be a servant to thank my uncle...."Qing'er lowered her head and whispered.
“... Qing'er, don't call yourself a servant in the future, no one is qualified to let you be a slave, after you are loyal and good, you have to live a backbone, understand? ”
Qing'er shook her head: "Uncle, everyone has their own life, being a slave is Qing'er's life, in order to repay her husband's life-saving grace, Qing'er is willing, my father taught me since I was a child, I can't owe other people's debts..."
"Uncle, Qing'er is very envious of you and Miss, you have food and drink, you don't have to carry hatred, and you can live freely. After Qing'er lost her parents, she realized how valuable family affection was. ”
"From now on, we will be a family, without my parents and me and Luo Shi to accompany you." Gu Bei comforted: "Uncle is also in debt now. ”
"Qing'er, don't you want to know what those three notes are written during the day? Uncle will tell you now..."Gu Bei leaned close to Qing'er's pink ear and whispered.
"Giggles, so that's the case, no wonder my uncle doesn't let Qing'er see it..."After listening, Qing'er laughed.
After a while, Qing'er restrained her smile, realizing that her posture with her uncle was too ambiguous, and looked through the door, as if her uncle was kissing her, and the hot breath she exhaled hit her earlobe, making her flush...
"Qing'er, have you thought about it? Maybe your mother has..."Gu Bei stopped without finishing speaking, isn't it too cruel? Her mother is now her only spiritual sustenance, how can she bear to let it be broken?
