Chapter 55 (continued
Then I turned my head, and my neck stiffened in horror.
"Sadako ......"
Lying on the ground was a hair as wet and messy as aquatic plants, which was scattered and concealed a face that was so white that it was terrifying, like a ghost crawling out of the doorframe of the outer room
I was also startled, I jumped up, and kicked at this monster.
A moment later
The renovated stove was baking with a comfortable heat, and I used a twig to pull out a few roasted brown and blackened potatoes from the thick charcoal ash, broke them open to reveal the golden and soft inside, scooped them out with a spoon, compacted them in a bowl, sprinkled with salt flowers and minced meat, and handed them to the head squat for a sweet dinner.
On the open corner of the furnace wall, there are still oil and wet flour kneading cakes, under the charcoal fire is baking a certain wheat fragrance, at the top of the charcoal fire, there are more than a dozen skewers, there are dumplings wrapped in bean skin, there are also cut sections of gluten, oil-soaked tofu, leeks and bean sprouts wrapped in yuba rolls, after all, it is the spring when everything is budding, and there is not much to eat.
The only meat is a string of small fish, which I bought from a local teenager who went down to the river to fish for spring when I went out to buy medicine.
"It's a pity that there are no chickens with the best effect, so I can only make do with duck eggs......"
I beat a duck egg with dirt in a bowl of piping hot mess, stirred it into a sweet egg drop soup, and served it.
Shi Niang, who had just come back from the dead and made a farce of water ghosts, was covered with my somewhat wide robe, and leaned on the soft couch where the clothes were piled up, and I fed it by mouth.
As she reacted and moved, her slender figure loomed through the gap in her loose robe, but she seemed to have become accustomed to it. But let me murmur to myself, is it a succession of treatments, from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, and I don't care if I have broken the jar and fallen.
"Thank you for your help......"
After drinking this soup, her face was finally a little bloody, and her speech was a little neutral
"When did you find out about my ......"
I put down the soup bowl and stuffed a small fish into my mouth before I said
"I wasn't sure, but when I saw the horse that suddenly broke out, I was sure that I picked it myself."
There was some happiness on her face, but also some fear
"Then I jumped into the river......
"I vaguely remember, didn't you get an arrow?"
"Thanks to the medicine bag you left behind, the splint inside blocked it."
"So now ,......"
I rubbed my hands, picked up another piping hot baked potato, rubbed the burnt skin off the outside with my hands, and then latched on to the somewhat blackened flesh and bit down
"You can tell me your story......
"As it should be,"
She nodded slightly, and said again.
"Have you ever heard of the name Gongsun Family?"
"It's a grandson with a compound surname, and it's a family, isn't this kind of thing a poison point for online literature?"
I couldn't help but spit out.
"Then do you know the allusion of Aunt Gongsun?"
She continued, disapprovingly
"Is that the one who can dance with swords, and Li Bai, Du Fu, and General Pei or something, a well-known mature woman who can't be involved?"
"And keep some ...... of virtue"
She wanted to laugh slightly, but she couldn't help but touch the wound and turn into a somewhat strange expression
"You know, Aunt Gongsun can be regarded as our ancestor......"
Listening to her tell her eloquently, it turned out that the so-called Gongsun Aunt was actually just a special title for the fashionable and little-known Gongsun family and the heads of the family in previous generations, specially sheltering a group of orphans or other poor people, training singing and dancing skills to make a living.
But because this Gongsun Lady in the Kaiyuan period is not only an outstanding dancer in the world, but also a rare top swordsman, so she is also very famous in the upper class society of the East and West Beijings, and she has become a famous person who has been in the best situation for a while, and there are even people who have specially inscribed and sang for her, so she has a considerable number of admirers, and there are also female disciples named among the princesses, which can be described as unparalleled for a while.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, this kind of scenery in front of the rebels who swept the world, it was as vulnerable as a dream bubble, An Lushan rebels plundered the Beijing division, mainly the women's Gongsun family almost suffered a catastrophe, and the vast majority of people were not able to escape.
Later, the turning point was because one of the female disciples who was expelled, surnamed Yin Chuqing, made a mistake on the way to exile and became the body of Liang Gong, even before the princess of the dynasty or the two main ladies of Taizhen's adopted daughter.
Although she never wanted a formal title, but stayed with the Duke of Liang as the head of the inner court/maid, and never had any more children in her life, the several Liang children adopted or raised by her were quite remarkable, and one of them still has a pivotal position in the Southern Dynasties.
After having this origin, the last remaining connections and resources of the Gongsun family were all transferred to Liang Gong after the recovery of the two capitals, and became part of the power of the retainers of the Men's family. A significant number of them joined the women's camp and then gave up their past to remarry and have children in a new capacity.
However, some other survivors who wanted to do more were separated from each other, and with the back-of-the-scenes support of the suspected Liang Gong, they rebuilt the name of the Gongsun family, infiltrated various Fengyue industries, and became some kind of underground organization for intelligence gathering and exchange.
After the power of Liang Gong gradually faded out of the country, it still continued to develop, and then became an agency in the rivers and lakes, issuing underground tasks or accepting rewards for others, which was very beautiful for two or three hundred years, and then disintegrated and dissociated in the troubled times, and gradually disappeared into history, but there are still some branches, with different positions and backgrounds, that continue to exist and activities.
So, then again
At that time, Gongsun Auntie had a personal disciple, known as Yingchuan Li Twelve Niang, when she was exiled to Jiannan, she also received the title gift of Liang Gong, her vein, is the source left by this Yingchuan Li Twelve Niang, so each generation of disciples is naturally surnamed Li.
To be honest, my first reaction when I heard this was that if this Yingchuan Li Twelve Niang was so outstanding back then, Liang Gong, who was the predecessor of Mao, would not have included her in his harem, or just as a secret lover with a career, to provide additional support.
However, after the development of generations, the scope of their business and involvement is no longer limited to the original intelligence information
Mainly based in the sphere of influence of the East China Sea vassals, it not only has its own exclusive territory and vassal people, but also many industries and granges all over the outer islands, ships and caravans that walk on the sea under various names and infiltrate the inland, and the contacts and resources that have been operating for a long time, from the Outer Continent of the Far North, Andong, Pinglu, Hebei, Lianghuai Zhudao, and even the Southern Dynasty in Lingnan, all have a past, so it can be regarded as a powerful existence in this troubled era.
Shi Niang, an important member who is relatively close to the core, was raised by her family since she was a child, so she was qualified to be surnamed Li.
And her little famous teacher, because she was weak and afraid of dying when she was young, was named after the Buddhist temple on her birthday, and prayed for the blessing of the pure light Buddha of the glazed pharmacist, because of the generation of the winner's family, ranked tenth and named,
I realized it later, she was actually called Master Li, okay, I suddenly had the illusion of being counterattacked by history, or the illusion that I had NTR someone in history.
However, the one who claims to govern the world has a unique style, Fengheng Yu is so big that the sea is boiling, there is a Fangla uprising in the south to stir up the wealth of the southeast, the north is opportunistic, and the essence of the paper tiger is pierced by others, and the counterattack in the south can only go to Wuhu City to herd sheep, and the concubine Emperor Ji Zong's daughters and nobles can only go to the laundry yard, and the Jurchen barbarians are used as meat urinals to repay the debts of the monarch's father - Song Huizong, I believe it doesn't matter.
However, this Master Li is not the poor man who was maintained by Song Huizong as a canary, but one of the descendants of Gongsun Jianwu, who can go to the meeting to negotiate alone, and then be besieged by someone and killed alone.
Because a woman with such a background as she walked in this turbulent world on behalf of the main family, she needed more caution, talent and means than others, so she was cultivated as the backbone and backbone of the family at a very young age.
Then according to the table, she obtained a certain amount of resources, and gathered a group of teams and manpower to be responsible for a certain affairs or a certain field, which is also the reason why she wanted to recruit me in the first place, but now this qiē has disappeared.
"I'm actually ordered to help my family escort something quite important south,"
She was a little tired after all this, but continued under my expectant gaze
"Because things are too important, it is expected that there will be a lot of forces that have secretly gotten the news to fight,"
"So a few of us who are on the ground have been summoned, all of us, to assist in this matter in an all-out way......"
"Then take things with you, divide them into several ways by sea and land at the same time, and use some identities to cover people's eyes and ears, and do the things that are dark and Chen Cang with the way of truth and falsehood......"
I fed her a sip of sweet rice wine and spat on it
"But I didn't expect that it was the people of my family who had a problem first, and now with the preparation of the other party, I am afraid that the other roads will be more auspicious."
"Of course, this thing is no longer here with me, and the so-called trial and test, I'm just afraid that there is something else hidden,"
"I still want to bring you into my family, as a guest secretary or a guardian."
She said with some self-deprecation.
"Do you want to know what that is?"
"Again, do you think I'll be interested in this kind of thing that will kill you if you get it......"
"Actually, it doesn't hurt to sue you now,"
She continued to talk to herself
"Although I haven't seen the specific physical object, I have some guesses, maybe it is Yu Lianggong's secret treasure, something to do with it......"
Hearing this, I smacked my cheeks disapplausively, that traverser senior is really poisonous, how many pits are left for people to jump
"It's me, who keeps trying to get you involved...... Finish. ”
She struggled to sit up, but I gently held her shoulder
"I'm sorry or I'd like to think of something substantial,"
I sighed inaudibly
"Like selling your body for ...... or something"
"What ......"
"Nothing ......"
I'm in the right way
"By the way, how did you come back to life, I obviously realized that you were out of breath......"
"It's just a survival trick......"
What she basically means is that she has learned an ancient method similar to holding breath in the womb since she was a child, which can slow down the vitality in the body and pretend to be a symptom of no breath to deceive the opponent and delay the deterioration of the injury, but there are relatively strict restrictions on its use, which is obviously a chicken rib in most environments,......
I shook my head again, so you can rest assured that you will stand up in front of me, if I am so ruthless, you will push it into the river, or simply sit back and ignore you in the first place, you are not fake death and real death,
"Looks like I owe you again......"
"Don't worry if you have a lot of debt......"
"I really don't know how to repay a lot of what I owe......"
"Then I will be willing to be my meat urinal, and use the rest of my life to repay ......"
"It's not impossible...... If you can afford to raise me."
"What ......"
I reacted smartly, and she actually agreed, and when I looked up, I saw a pair of rather serious expressions and eyes that did not seem to be fake.
"It's just that there is one last wish,"
Then her tone fell
"I want to go back and see what happened to the master's house first, and then I will repay you,"
She said it so firmly that I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
"That's ...... so"
"What are you worried about......
She seemed to sense my expression
"I'm worried that you're afraid of dying, so I'm just trying to make my words for now."
Since it has come to this point, I also said bluntly
"How so."
Her paroleu face flushed a little, but I interrupted her
"For example, as a consistent die-hard object, once you lose your faith and spiritual support in the Lord's family, you will give up on yourself and seek death, and then find a reason to sacrifice yourself"
I simply said what was in my heart in one breath.
"Then I rescued you back several times, but it was not all in vain, and in the end I still lost a lot."
"You."
Her face changed and became a little solemn, but she sneered dumbly
"You may be right, the slave may have missed something similar before, but not now,"
"If the master's family needs my crippled body to serve, after these things, I have died several times, and it can be regarded as repaid."
"The slave is alive now, but he just wants to find some causes and causes and effects for those around him in the past,"
"After all, many of them were brought out by me, not only because of their relatives for many years, but also because they were looking forward to returning them, unlike the slaves who were already alone after going to this qiē."
"Even if it is for the sake of the main family, you must think of a clear explanation......
Well, I feel a little powerless, this woman seems to have gone from one extreme to the other, and put a new mission and reason on herself.
"Then what guarantee do you use to ......?"
"You need ...... What kind of guarantee ......"
Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, her face suddenly turned red, and it was smeared all the way to the base of her ears.
In the end, she left me the only remaining short sword, and then took away my dagger, as a token of the next day, the cold spine of the sword, engraved with the word "Qingluan", hidden on her thigh, I didn't feel it at the beginning, I believe that if I don't allow it, she has enough time to take it out, do something,.
now
I still have a few weapons left with me, in addition to the dagger that Roque gave me on behalf of his brother, there is also a shakuban horizontal knife given to me by the old military leader Deng Fang, and a Wu hook (soft sword) found on the raccoon, plus a small silver sword seized from the fat pig transfer judge.
Later, I found out that although the decoration of this small sword was a little bells and whistles, it was also a hundred forging products that blew off the broken hair, and after scraping off the silver ornaments of the wrapper, I gave my head to squat as a self-defense weapon, in addition to the folding knife that accompanied me from the beginning.
The next period of short recuperation and shelter from the limelight,
Because in advance I had been greeted by peace of mind to recuperate the root of the disease, and bought a lot of medicinal materials, from time to time to suffer some and then poured out as a daily cover, that group of monks is more knowledgeable and interesting, plus their monk's room, Buddha hall, canteen three points and one line of daily life, but also very hard, so usually no one comes to disturb us,
This time, it's just a little more often to decoction the medicine, you can use the smell of medicine to cover up the bloody smell of the dressing, and then put the bloody cotton yarn or something on the stove to burn it, the food and drink are bought in different places, and the clothes for the change are all prepared in plurality, so that even if there is one more person to recuperate temporarily, there is nothing to see for the time being.
During the period, the government finally inquired about me, but it was a matter of a few days later, it was a routine formality by the nearby fangtou, with tolerance to go through the motions, the group of monks were quite kind, after taking the money, they have always ensured that we were all in the room to recuperate, looked at the probe came out of the yellow face of the head squatting, and left.
Before parting, in addition to preparing a bunch of things and food for her on the road, I spent a night and tasted the taste of her tongue, although it was still very green, but compared to Niannu, it was indeed another kind of touching taste, whether it was above or below.
My reason is also very simple, what did Nian Nu do at the beginning, you do it, as a way to miss her.
Hearing this, she was speechless for a long time and almost thought I was going to give up, but in the end she just looked at me deeply, and then obediently I held Xiang on the shoulders and lowered her head.
Although she was still a little bad at doing things and couldn't do too drastic movements, she was still quite dedicated under my guidance, and she didn't show the unwillingness and reluctance of being repaid by me.
Just holding my head and squatting is a bit of a remnant, so I can only squat in the corner and stare at the second scene intently, while unconsciously drawing circles with my fingers until my first base is initially achieved.
More than ten days later, when Yiqiē had temporarily calmed down, I saw her figure standing on the bow of the boat, slowly moving away, and suddenly regretted a little, maybe I shouldn't have let her go so lightly.
Obtaining a "You are the ultimate card of a good person", there seems to be a voice flashing in the dark.
At this time, another good news came, the river was opened.
