05 Yun Niang
Although the young woman was young, she had already seen too much indifference and ugliness in this cold and cold world, and she never expected that this young mage, who seemed to have a lot of status, would actually plan to replace her as a hostage.
He is a monk, or what kind of miracle doctor, he doesn't want to fight for his life, what is he trying to do? Is it to covet your own beauty? Her thoughts were confused, and she blurted out: "Mage, no, my little slave, how can I compare to your noble body." There was a hint of extremism in his tone.
The young monk smiled and said, "Everyone in the world is equal, and there is no distinction between the high and the low; In addition, how can I, a big man, survive with a little lady? Rest assured, my life has always been hard. ”
Equality for all? But how can everyone be equal in this world! People are born with high and low, some people are born with a golden spoon, and Zhong Ding eats jade; Some people are born slaves and suffer from hunger and cold all their lives. Such a concept was instilled layer by layer by princes and nobles, religious ideas, and sage preaching, and in the end, everyone took it for granted, and it was fate whether it was good or not.
At the moment of life and death, there are people who are willing to replace themselves as hostages, and they may lose their lives at any time, how can there be such a stupid person? Her mind was chaotic, and all kinds of grievances, grievances, fears and other emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly poured out, and people became extremely fragile, and the camouflage shell that protected the injured soul was shattered at once. She couldn't control her emotions anymore, her nose soured, tears welled up, and her cheeks slid down.
Kang Dingzhi was overjoyed in his heart, and he was also ready to die, but he didn't expect that the thing in front of him was a big fish, and it was a stupid fish that took the initiative to bite the hook. He didn't wait for the man outside to react, and said directly to the monk, "You put down your weapon first." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the monk threw away the saber in his hand very cooperatively.
"What's next?" The monk asked Kang Dingzhi.
"You cut off your right hand first." Kang Dingzhi said ruthlessly, and said in his heart that if you were silent just now, you killed so many of my brothers, I have to reduce your force value first, so as to save you from having any more moths.
"That's not going to work." When the monk heard this, he stopped doing it, "I can't cut off my hands, I still have to keep knocking fish and chanting Buddha and serving the Buddha." Besides, if you cut off my hand, blood will flow everywhere, and you will be splattered with blood, which will break your majesty; Besides, if you cut off my hand, in the barren mountains and mountains, where can I find Langzhong to help me stop the bleeding; Besides, if you cut off my hand, the bleeding will also bleed, and if I die, I guess you won't live; Besides, cut off my hand......"
"Shut up." Kang Dingzhi couldn't help but interrupt the monk, he didn't expect this thief bald to be a chatter, chattering endlessly, string after string, "Then what do you say?" ”
The young monk said: "Look at this, I know you are not at ease, you can first let this lady tie my hands to solve my hands, and then you can make a move to tie it tighter again, you let this lady go out, and we will talk to the official outside."
Let him prepare a fast horse, and if you escort me, you can escape, and for my sake, he has a better chance of letting you live. As for you, I guess the chance of letting me go is relatively small, after all, I have killed so many of your brothers.
When the time comes, whether you kill or release depends on your heart. The Buddha said that grievances and grievances are interlocking, and who knows when it will be the end. Then he said to the man outside, "My lord, I have made up my mind, and I am willing to be a hostage and let this little lady out first." ”
Kang Ding Zhixin said that although this guy is doing things upside down, what he said is very much in line with me, and it is really operational, but he still comforted him: "Don't worry, since you let me live, I will naturally let you go then." ”
Seeing that this was already the case, the man outside had to say: "Since the Divine Doctor has arranged it this way, I will obey my fate, and with a handful of hair, I will prepare a fast horse for you and let you live a dog, but if you don't keep your promise and hurt the Divine Doctor in the slightest, I will report to the king and hunt you down with all the strength of the whole country." ”
"Look, that's it, come on." The monk put his hands together and shook them at Kang Dingzhi and the young woman. Kang Dingzhi escorted the woman around the house, found a ball of rope, intercepted a large section, and came to the monk again, pushed the woman forward, and said, "Do it, tie it hard." ”
The woman burst into tears and whimpered in a low voice: "Mage......"
"Do it, don't cry, your face is spent, it's all right," the monk comforted.
"Don't bother, there will be a time for you to be happy and happy in the future. You, a dead thief, hooked up with such a handsome little lady. Kang Dingzhi was very impatient next to him, and kept urging, and he was secretly eating the flying vinegar of this bald donkey in his heart.
The woman's head was dizzy, she was coerced by Kang Dingzhi, she mechanically tied the monk, looked at the monk and looked at herself with a smile, her heart beat violently, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.
Seeing that the woman was almost tied, Kang Dingzhi pushed the woman aside, re-reinforcing the rope, and scolded the woman: "Don't get out quickly." ”
Inadvertently, he noticed that the monk was wearing a unique ring on the little finger of his left hand, which should be an ornament made of gold, which was like a blooming lotus flower, the lotus petals were delicate and lovely, the veins were clearly visible, and a crystal clear gem was fixed with a thin gold wire in the middle, and the gem was in the shape of a lotus canopy. Kang Dingzhi shook his head and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he has been a horse thief for many years, burning, killing and looting, and he can be regarded as a person who knows goods, and a ring like this that is novel and chic, which should have been worn on the hand of a noble lady, actually appeared on the hand of a young monk, there is an indescribable weirdness. The huge emerald in the middle is a valuable treasure in itself, and with such exquisite craftsmanship, this ring is definitely priceless.
Seeing Kang Dingzhi's eyes, the monk smiled and said empathetically: "Don't worry, if you want it at that time, you can also take this ring, and you can't bring anything outside your body, you can't bring it in life, and you can't take it in death." ”
Kang Dingzhi's heart jumped uncontrollably a few times, this ring, if it is sold, the price is definitely not low, at least it can offset the loss of some lapis lazuli.
Unable to contain the ecstasy in his heart, he couldn't help but caress his hand towards the ring that was about to become himself. As soon as his hand touched the gem, he felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and then there was a sensation as if he had been burned by extremely hot flames.
He couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and when he looked at his hand, he found that the index finger of his left hand that had just caressed the gem had all turned black, and a drop of black blood oozed from his finger.
Then he felt dizzy, his eyes were black, his heart was beating faster, his breathing became difficult, and the knife in his right hand could no longer be held, and he fell to the ground.
He knew that he had finally fallen for this thief's path, so he raised his right hand with difficulty and pointed at the hateful young monk: "You...... You dead thief, you ...... Cannot...... Good....... Then he fell straight back, and the last words he heard before he died were: "You can go with peace of mind, and tell you that you have scolded me for being a thief for a long time, but in fact I am not a monk." ”
At this time, the woman had just reached the door, and had not yet opened the door. Hearing the movement behind her, she turned to look, only to see that the hateful, fierce-looking thief had fallen to the ground, and the young mage was looking at her with a smile, and shook his bound arm: "You have to trouble the little lady, help me untie the rope, but be careful, don't touch this ring." ”
The woman walked back quickly, looking at the young monk, her mood was agitated, tonight's experience was like the plot in the kind of strange story, ups and downs, peaks and turns, so that this previous life was basically calm as water How can the woman restrain herself, she helped the monk untie the rope, and saluted: "Thank you Master for saving your life." The young monk smiled a little embarrassedly: "Okay, let's go out and meet the adults outside." ”
"My lord, the thieves have all been ambushed, I'm going to open the door now, please let your subordinates control the weapons, it's not good to hurt your own people." After the young monk finished speaking, he took the lead and walked to the door, and slowly opened a small crack, and when he saw that there was no movement, he led the woman to the door.
Outside, the soldiers dressed in black were still in their positions. The first person kicked off the horse, walked up quickly, and bowed deeply to the young monk: "Lord Divine Doctor, the lower official aunt Mozhou soldier Cao Wenchu has come to visit, the divine doctor is safe and sound, it is really a great luck, otherwise the lower official is really a great crime." This is your jade pendant. ”
"Wen Bing Cao is serious, this is a chance encounter, it has nothing to do with Bing Cao, and now all the thieves are ambushed, but it can be called a success." As he spoke, the young monk took the jade pendant and hung it on his body again, "The next thing must be dealt with by Bing Cao, just cover me up when I report to the top." ”
Wen Chu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes revealed ecstasy, and his lips trembled slightly under the reflection of the short beard under the torch: "The divine doctor is serious, I will report the matter here truthfully, and the great work of the divine doctor, I dare not be greedy." ”
He blocked a handful of horse thieves in the inn, and protected the lapis lazuli from loss, according to his plan, set fire to the shop, and caught turtles in an urn. As for whether there are other travelers alive in the store, it is not in his consideration, and it is just a mistake to kill a person, and it does not affect the overall situation.
But he didn't expect to kill a mage in the middle of the field, and he also threatened to have a jade pendant given by the king of Qiuzi, originally he didn't believe it, with a joking mood, so he took the jade pendant over and looked at it, and after he confirmed the authenticity of the jade pendant, he made a decision in his heart.
Today, all the thieves were solved by the divine doctor, and although he brought so many officers and soldiers, he really didn't use a knife or a shot. With so many eyes staring, he would never dare to be greedy for ink for this final credit, but he didn't expect that the divine doctor would give all the credit to himself, how could he not be overjoyed.
The young monk laughed: "I have traveled all over the world, I am not a member of the army, what do I want to do, you have brought so many brothers, you have suffered a lot." It's also appropriate for you to earn more credit for your reporting. ”
Hearing what the monk said, Wen Chu bowed deeply to the young monk: "The great favor is not thankful, Wen Chu will no longer twist the act, I will keep in mind the kindness of the divine doctor, if there is a place where Wen is useful in the future, Wen will never give up." Brothers, thank you very much, Master Divine Doctor. ”
The soldiers outside responded in an uproar, as a border soldier, they have experienced hardships, and the picture is not to be promoted and make a fortune! The regiment wiped out the horse thief with a pinch of hair, recovered the lapis lazuli, and did not injure a single soldier, with such a great merit, the promotion was not run. Just now, Wen Bing Cao was called a mage for a while, and a miracle doctor for a while, and most people haven't figured out his identity yet, but it doesn't affect everyone's feelings about him.
After the guard was lifted, everyone gathered around the handsome and frank young monk, greeting him and asking if there was anything he needed help with. The monks named Abu were entertaining one by one, and no one felt left out, and everyone became more and more enthusiastic about this young man who had no shelf.
Wen Chu called a subordinate over: "Tell everyone to clean up the scene, and the personnel and property must be registered one by one for inspection." As the subordinate was about to leave, Abu said, "I have prepared some poison in case of an accident, and those horse thieves have all died from this poison just now. Wen Chu was startled when he heard this, and emphasized it again, and then deployed the task.
Then he asked, "Master Divine Doctor, this little lady and you are all the way?" ”
"Wen Bing Cao doesn't need to be polite, just call me Abu. I didn't know this little lady either, and I just met her first time in the store. ”
At this time, the young woman stepped forward to see the two of them and told her origin: "The slave maid Yunniang, the Silla clan, was robbed by pirates when she was a child, resold as a maid, and learned singing and dancing and music in Taichang Temple when she was a little older. In a few words, she told her life experience, which was clear, her voice was pleasant, and she seemed very calm when she told her suffering.
Wen Chu glanced at her, then at Abu, and said, "That being the case, I don't know what the little lady has planned, you are also free now, you can choose where to go." ”
Yun Niang lowered her head, pondered for a long time, and said, "I don't know where to go?" ”
She was robbed to the Tang Dynasty when she was a child, and her memory of her hometown has been blurred, and in Taichang Temple, every day is also tense God after living, and after letting go, she is even more resigned to her fate.
Now, all of a sudden, he is free, and the world is so big that he doesn't know where to go.
At this moment, a child's cry was suddenly heard in the store, and a series of cries of "Master, Master" were heard, and then a soldier ran out with a crying child in his arms.
"Oh no, forget about this little guy." Abu hurriedly greeted him, hurriedly took it, and let him lie on his shoulder.
The little guy sobbed and wiped a handful of snot and tears on Abu's body. Abu didn't look like he could coax a child, and while patting the child's back awkwardly, he coaxed: "Xiaoye, don't cry, oh, Master is here." Oh...... Oh......"
The child is about four or five years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his appearance is very cute, after seeing Abu, he fell asleep on his shoulder in a daze, maybe Abu held the child's posture was not quite right, the child writhed in his arms from time to time, and occasionally kicked him twice with his little feet.
Abu smiled at Wen Chu and Yun Niang, looking quite helpless, completely lacking the light and breezy appearance just now.
Then he told the origin of the child, when he passed through a village, the village had just been ransacked, some of the villagers fled, but most of the villagers were killed, and in a house that was burning on all sides, he found the child, who was crying for his mother. The child was on the bed by the wall, but fortunately he was not smashed or burned. The child only knows that his name is Wu Ye, and he can't tell what his father and mother are called...... Later, he took it with him and took him as an apprentice.
Seeing that the child was still writhing in Abu's arms, Yun Niang smiled shyly at Abu: "Master, why don't I take it and try it?" ”
Abu immediately handed it over carefully, maybe it is a woman's nature and instinct to coax the child, the child no longer tosses in Yun Niang's arms, and the corners of his mouth also show a sweet smile.
Yun Niang smiled at Abu, and Abu stretched out a thumbs up to Yun Niang to express approval.
Wen Chu looked at the two of them, and suddenly said: "Since Yun Niang's little lady doesn't know where to go, why don't you go with the divine doctor, now the road is becoming more and more unsafe, and the divine doctor has great powers, so it is good to have a response." Yun Niang glanced at Abu, didn't say anything, and lowered her head again.
"It's not appropriate, I'm running around all day, and the little lady follows me, and I may have to suffer a lot, not to mention the male ......"
Before the words were finished, Wen Chu didn't care about his superiority and humility, and hurriedly took Abu's words: "The little lady has no complaints, you are a big husband, how did you start to twist." Like Yun Niang, where will you find it in the future. Besides, you're not a person who can take care of children, and with such a beautiful woman helping you take care of your baby, you're going to do it, haha. ”
Wen Chu could see that Yun Niang was a little interested in Divine Doctor Abu, not to mention that now she had nowhere else to go, and it was a good choice to follow Divine Doctor Abu. The heart said that the divine doctor, don't shirk it, I can help you, that's it.
Abu then asked Xiang Yunniang: "I don't know what the little lady thinks?" Yun Niang looked up at Abu, bit her lower lip lightly, and said in a low voice: "But it's up to the mage to decide." Then he lowered his head to look at the child he was holding in his arms.
Wen Chu dragged Abu away: "Let's go, let's go and see how the inventory of belongings is?" ”
Then he whispered, "Master Divine Doctor, how can you force other little ladies to express their stance like this." It turned out to be, it's not a miracle doctor, amazing! Terrible! Hahaha".
Yun Niang looked at the backs of the two under the lights, happy and shy, and at the same time had a kind of expectation for a better future in her heart.
