Chapter 37: The Cliff Laughing Prince

"Ma'am, drink the medicine." At night, Mu Ying brought a bowl of medicinal soup into the house and said to Dou Niang, who was lying on the bed.

"Don't drink it." Dou Niang shook her head and waved her hand to put the medicine soup on the table. Mu Ying did so, and after putting it away, she heard Dou Niang calling: "Ying'er, come here, I have something to say to you." ”

"What does Madame want to say?" Mu Ying came to the bed and sat down, and when she saw the faint sadness between Dou Niang's eyebrows, she knew that she remembered the past again, so she comforted: "The big move is coming, Madam must not miss a big event because of some sadness in the past." ”

"I know that." Dou Niang smiled: "Ying'er, how many years have you served me?" ”

"When this year passes, it will be ten years." Mu Ying said: "Why did Madam suddenly ask about this? ”

"What kind of person do you think I am, ma'am?" Dou Niang looked at Mu Ying, like a kind mother looking at her daughter.

"Madame was born and died with King Dou, although she is a woman, she is better than a bearded eyebrow." Mu Ying said.

"What else?" Dou Niang smiled.

"Hmm... Madame is deeply in love with King Dou. It's a pity that King Dou was busy with the war and didn't have time to take care of the love between his children, so that the lovers could not become pairs, and finally the yin and yang were separated. ”

"Nope." Dou Niang took Mu Ying's hand and shook her head with a smile and said, "Actually, he has long wanted to marry me." It's just..."Speaking of this, Dou Niang's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked: "I'm not worthy of him." ”

"Just because Madame, you are..."Mu Ying opened her mouth, and the word 'prostitute' was not said after all. You know King Dou doesn't mind that. ”

"But I don't mind." Dou Niang said, tears had slipped silently. "He's a king, and I'm just a prostitute, a whore who doesn't even have a name. Without this peach-stop ghost qin, it's nothing. Dou Niang said and turned her head slightly, Mu Ying followed her gaze, and saw the guqin lying quietly in the box of the long table near the window not far away, the moonlight sprinkled on the body of the qin through the window screen, and from a distance, a layer of strange light could be faintly seen on the body of the qin.

"Madame entered a cult when she was young, learned ghost law, and her mind was damaged." Mu Ying thought in her heart: "No wonder, thinking about that sect, which is like a sect, it is like a Yama Difu." Since childhood, the faithful have to learn the art of the piano, and they live in a cave at the bottom of the valley, and they are not allowed to communicate with the outside world all day long. In any case, those sects have been required to take the so-called 'elixir' of the sect since they were young, saying that it is an elixir, but it is just a special chronic poison, and that poison will not only change the physique, but also make people stupid, easy to control. Realizing that all the followers had become Deadpools, the sect began to give everyone a peach ghost qin------- a xylophone made of unknown materials. This xylophone is different from ordinary xylophones, it is extremely strong and durable, although it is wood, it is as strong as fierce steel, and the knife and axe do not leave a trace of it. They used this kind of qin to train their disciples, and let them take the pill and play it, and the sound that played the qin could take a person's head from a hundred paces away. Later, I learned that the pill I was taking was actually a blood pill made of human blood mixed with various herbs, and the blade that popped up was inspired by the blood in this blood pill. When she found out that the sect had killed and chopped up those members who were not talented enough to learn the blade and made them into pills for other disciples to eat, she was afraid from the bottom of her heart and decided to escape. In this way, finally one day, she urged the piano blade to kill the guard guard, escaped, she was only a teenager at the time, except to play the piano, nothing, childlike mind she stumbled and panned to the capital, thought to escape from the tiger's den, but never wanted to be targeted by the abductor, but two hot steamed buns, she was abducted, the abductor saw that although she was young, but the appearance has been revealed, the beauty of the talent will soon be revealed, so he got lustful, humiliated her, and then sold to the largest local brothel Lanchun Pavilion. Life after that was hell, only more terrifying than the previous one. Thinking like this, I didn't know what to say.

When Dou Niang saw that she didn't speak, she knew that she was thinking about the past she had told her. "By the time I understand the things of this world, I'm already a filthy body." She smiled and said a little miserably: "Coupled with the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, I lost my livelihood, I originally had no nostalgia, and I planned to die, but at this time, I met him." Speaking of this, Mu Ying could see clearly, she saw Dou Niang's eyes shining, as if the tall figure was in front of her. It was as if he was with her, and he suddenly returned to the cliff where the two met.

"Girl." The tall and majestic figure shouted at a shadow on the edge of the cliff, the cold wind was cold, but the woman on the edge of the cliff was dressed in single clothes, and her forehead and shoulders were covered with snow. "In a hundred years of life, although there are occasional failures, you can't waste food because of choking, and talk about life and death lightly."

The shadow turned around, and what greeted her was a haggard and sad face that had fallen into the country and the city. "I don't have family, I don't have friends." Dou Niang's eyes were hollow, and her words did not have a trace of emotion, like a marionette pulling strings, "I'm so hungry, but I have nothing to eat, I'm so cold, but I have no clothes to wear." I'm a prostitute, and they say I'm not a human, I'm a brute, and it's the same as a pig, one more, one less, it doesn't matter. ”

"All human lives are the same." Dou Jiande was about to rush up and stop her, but when he heard her say this, he stopped and said: "Whether it is the emperor or the people, they are all skins and wear different clothes. It's just that some laypeople have to divide people into three, six, nine and so on, and they are satisfied with this, but they don't know that these are the stupidest people. Just like you, jumping off this cliff today, a hundred years later, future generations will see your bones, who knows if standing here at this time is an ordinary and small mortal, or a ninety-five supreme son of heaven? ”

"I don't know where to go." It's as if a string in my head has been touched. Dou Niang's eyebrows twitched suddenly, "I... I don't want to die. ”

A gentle smile appeared on the young general's face: "We are marching, going to meet friends from afar, do you want to join me?" ”

"Okay..."Dou Niang responded, but the light that had just flashed in her eyes dimmed suddenly, and she looked to the side in panic: "But... I'm dirty—" he said and shook his head unconsciously, taking two steps back. "Be careful!" The young general pounced on her suddenly, and before Dou Niang could react, she suddenly felt that her feet were in the air, and the whole person leaned back all of a sudden. The general's eyes were quick, and he had already put his arms around her waist, and threw himself back sharply, and finally rescued her at this critical moment.

"It's dangerous." Dou Jiande got up, let go of Dou Niang in his arms and said with a smile: "If you really fall, it will be in vain for me to say so much." ”

"Yes... I'm sorry. Dou Niang heard Dou Jiande laugh so heartily, thinking that she was laughing, she couldn't help but panic, and she didn't know what to say. When he was nervous, Dou Jiande took off his black robe and gently put it on for him. "Is there any better?" Dou Jiande said with a smile. Dou Jiande is burly, Dou Niang is petite, and the black robe is worn on Dou Niang's body, like a big jacket, dragged on the ground, looking a little funny, but it is unusually warm.

"Let's go." The young general took the girl's slender palm: "Everyone is waiting for us." ”

"Hmm." The smile that I hadn't seen for many years finally appeared on the girl's face again.
