Chapter 19: Robbery of Ying'er
Zai Ying'er squatted on the chair of Shu'er's house, holding her knees with her hands, a little sad.
Lao Shutou's family was very good to her, but looking at the busy family in front of her, Zai Ying'er still felt that this happiness did not belong to her.
Ji Ying'er remembered last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and her mother took her early to wait at the gate of the city, because her father, who was fighting outside, was coming back. Since she was a child, her mother told her that her father was a great general, wearing gold helmets and silver armor, and protecting everyone from a long distance. Her mother waited with her at the gate of the city for a long time, and her father finally returned. He had no gold helmet or silver armor, only tattered clothes, covered in dust and a haggard face. Looking at the timid Ying'er, the man picked her up and said to his mother: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
The mother, who has always been strong, cried like a tearful person.
The next few months will be Xiao Yinger's happiest time. Every morning, Dad had to get up early to practice martial arts, and Xiao Ying'er followed behind him babbling and learning what to do, which made Daddy laugh. Daddy also made her a small wooden sword, and Ying'er was so excited that she didn't fall asleep all night, and she had to hug her to sleep.
Later, a monk came to the house, and he said that he hadn't eaten for several days, and the kind mother had just steamed a pot of white flour steamed buns, which was easily uneaten at home. Xiao Ying'er just lit the fire and waited under the pot. The mother gave half to the monk and stopped eating Xiao Ying'er's anger.
After the monk left, the bad luck began. Every day, there are vicious-looking bad people who come to harass them. My father beat seven or eight by himself and ran away with all the bad guys. But the next day, the group came again, and brought with them the people of the yamen dressed in the official palace. They said that Daddy hurt people for no reason, and he had to pay a lot of money, and he wanted Daddy to go to jail. Daddy took off his shirt, and then Ji Ying'er noticed that Daddy's body was full of terrifying scars. Dad said that he was in a place called Liaodong and had made countless meritorious contributions to the imperial court, so why should he be harmed. The bad guys just laugh, laugh darkly, die and come back to life. It's like an angry daddy, not roaring, but telling the funniest joke in the world.
The bad guys come every day, and every time they get worse, and the neighbors, who have always been close to their family, never dare to say a word to them anymore. Until one day, my father went out to buy rice, and the bad people dragged my mother into a hut, and my mother shouted like crazy and begged for mercy. Xiao Ying'er rushed over and was stopped, and the bad people seemed to be afraid of something, so they didn't dare to beat and scold Ying'er. Later, the bad guys left, but the mother didn't come out. Ying'er comforted her mother through the wooden door, Ying'er has been so sensible since she was a child, but her mother did not praise Ying'er, and her mother didn't say a word.
Daddy came back, he slammed open the wooden door, and carried his mother out. Daddy said that his mother was dead, Ying'er didn't believe it, Ying'er said that his mother deliberately didn't speak and played with Ying'er.
Later, Ying'er knew that her mother was really dead, and her father buried her on the ancestral grave.
At this time, the big monk came again, and Ying'er cried and said, there are no white-flour steamed buns in our family, and there is no mother. At this time, the bad guys came again, and the monk and Daddy had a conversation, and Daddy handed Ying'er over to the monk. The big monk picked up Ying'er and left, Ying'er struggled desperately, and the monk's hand was really strong.
Ying'er looked back from the monk's shoulder, and Daddy rushed to the bad guys, there were too many bad guys, and Daddy died.
Wu Jie walked into Lao Shutou's room, did not knock on the door, and kicked the door open. The piercing sound pulled Ying'er back to reality, and when she looked up, it was a white and chubby man, staring at a pair of round little eyes, sweeping around, and nodded with satisfaction after seeing Zhao Ying'er on the chair.
Lao Shutou's family hurriedly stood up, Wu Jie raised his head and tilted his eyes downward, and said, "Old Shutou, you have lost great luck!" ”
Lao Shu hurriedly laughed and said: "Wu Ye said that he was laughing, what luck can little old man have." ”
"Lao Tzu came to you for the New Year to laugh? Are you worthy? Let me tell you, the prince has taken a fancy to your daughter, you should quickly dress her up and send her to the prince's room at night. Wu Jie glanced at Lao Shutou, sneered twice and continued: "The action is sharp, if you mistake the prince's Yaxing, you won't be able to eat, so go around." ”
Old Shutou was stunned in place, and Shu'er's mother took Shu'er's hand and said, "Master Wu, my daughter is a maid in the prince's room." ”
Wu Jie snorted, pointed at Zhao Ying'er and said, "Who said this." The prince has taken a fancy to this little daughter of yours. ”
Shu'er's mother slapped her thighs with both hands and said, "Hey, this is a misunderstanding, this girl was brought back from outside by the prince, but she is not the daughter of our old couple." ”
Wu Jie's small round eyes opened completely, and he asked sharply, "What you said is true?" ”
"Master Wu gave us ten dares, and we didn't dare to lie, so we will be Shu'er, a girl." Shu'er also opened her mouth to help at this time, "Master Wu, what we said is true, Ying'er, this girl, like Xiaohe Xiaolian, is an orphan rescued by the prince." ”
Wu Jie calculated in his heart, this little girl was named by the prince, looking at the prince's enthusiasm, if she can't get her today, how can she be willing to take a break. Anyway, there is the prince in charge, and in this palace, who can go beyond the prince's head.
"Then you don't have to worry about it, I'm ready to prepare, and after the prince has eaten dinner, I'll come to pick up someone." After speaking, he didn't give them a chance to reply, turned around and left, and went to King Fu for instructions.
Lao Shutou hurriedly said: "How is this good! This little girl is just such a little person. Where... Alas! ”
Shu'er was also anxious, took Lao Shutou's hand, and said, "Daddy, the son of the world loves Ying'er the most, and hand her over to us for the New Year." Can't be in our hands.. I was by that! ”
"The arm can't twist the thigh, the prince is powerful, and he dares not to listen to the prince?"
As soon as Shu'er's mother saw Ying'er, she fell in love with this little girl carved in pink and jade, and scolded: "Old man, don't make a mess here, does the prince have the courage to do it, it's up to you?" Go to the temple and tell the prince that you may be able to save this girl. ”
Lao Shutou hurriedly rushed out, and at this moment it was already Shen Shi, that is, four or five o'clock in modern times. Lao Shutou didn't dare to delay for a moment, and when he couldn't find the carriage, he ran desperately to Ying'en Temple.
Wu Jie tiptoed into King Fu's inner room, where King Fu was talking to Fang Shidao about some methods of immortal alchemy. Wu Jie didn't dare to delay, attached to the ear of Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, and whispered.
Zhu Changxun waved his hand impatiently, "What's this, it's just a girl." Fuhachi came back, and I personally told him, you go and do your business well, and this time there is another errand, I will uncover your skin. ”
When Wu Jie got these words, it was like taking a reassuring pill, and he hurriedly retired and went to Lao Shutou to mention someone.
At this time, Zai Ying'er was held in her arms by Shu'er's mother, touching her head, crying, "Poor baby, your life is miserable." ”
Ying'er nested comfortably in Shu'er's mother's arms, her dark eyes were shining, and she smiled and showed her cute little tiger teeth, raised her head and said, "Ying'er is not bitter, what they said doesn't count." ”
