Chapter 10 Peony
Liang Yuxi woke up slowly, only to find that he was lying on an embroidered couch. The body is covered with a brocade quilt, the quilt is a large ball of peonies, and there is some aroma of fat powder in the quilt.
He said to himself, isn't he running for his life? Why did you lie on this fragrant embroidery bed again?
He still remembered that in the dark mountains and fields around him, the three wolves were following him step by step, waiting for him to become food for their mouths. His two legs were so frightened that he couldn't help himself, and then he spread them and ran. As he ran, he could hear the wolf following behind him, making a whistling sound in his throat.
ran like this, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and I don't know how many mountains and forests I climbed, and my heart was about to jump outside. I remember that before my eyes went dark, I seemed to see a light floating, and I lost consciousness.
When he woke up, Liang Yuxi looked at the furnishings of this room, in addition to the embroidery bed, there were also some women's things, such as dressers, embroidery frames, etc., which were very chic. Liang Yuxi remembered that he had seen some in the house of the eldest mother and the second mother, but the furnishings in this house were a little more exquisite.
He thought to himself, didn't he encounter some fox demon and ghost, could this be his cave? However, you can see the light outside the window through the gauze tent, it should have passed the fifth watch, if the fox demon ghost fairy still can't hide?
Thinking of this, he became a little more courageous, so he rolled over and got out of bed, only to find that he had not taken off his clothes, only the shoes on his feet. He opened the bed tent to look for his shoes, and stepped on a soft thing, only to hear an ouch, and a maid outside the bed tent screamed and stood up.
Liang Yuxi didn't expect that there was another person on the embroidery bench next to the bed, and he was busy saying that he couldn't help it, and he was making an arch again, and his face turned red.
After seeing it clearly, Liang Yuxi realized that this delicate-looking maid was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was still a little familiar. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that it was when I rested at the tea stall on the way to the forest farm, the maid in the sedan chair who injured the troublemaker. I didn't expect to meet here, but I don't know if she is a human or a demon?
The maid spoke first: "Your shoes have already been broken, and here is a pair of buckskin boots that my mother gave you, you can put them on." ”
Liang Yuxi hurriedly asked: "This little lady, what you say, I should have been rescued by you and your mother, right?" I wonder how I ended up last night? ”
The maid covered her mouth and smiled: "Where is there a little lady here?" You were driven by wolves to our sedan chair last night, and you were planted at the end of the head, and we are afraid that you will die. ”
"Ah, I remember that. I'll give my eldest sister a salute first, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have escaped from the wolf's mouth. After Liang Yuxi finished speaking, he saluted the maid.
The maid couldn't stop laughing: "You're so funny, where is the big sister?" You call me Yulian, I am so old that no one has ever called me a little lady or an eldest sister. ”
Liang Yuxi was a little embarrassed: "I just don't know where this is?" ”
Yulian said: "This is the Shanmi Mountain Forest Farm. I don't know where you got the courage, how did you get to this wilderness, and you ran in the forest in the middle of the night, if it weren't for me and my mother coming back from the county seat, you would have been eaten by wolves. ”
Liang Yuxi couldn't figure it out again, Yulian said that this is the Shanmishan Forest Farm, so where is this room the Forest Farm?
He thought of the embroidered peonies that could be seen everywhere in the house, so he asked carefully: "Sister Yulian, are you here, on top of this wine shop on the west side of the forest farm?" ”
Yulian glanced at him: "How do you know about this forest farm, do you still know about the east and west?" What's going on in the west? You're also one of those pickled woodmen in this forest farm. But it doesn't look like you, could it be someone from the scorpion? ”
Liang Yuxi hurriedly said: "I am not satisfied with Sister Yulian, I am not a wooden guest, I am just the second shopkeeper sent to the forest farm by Donglu Mansion." If you don't want to offend, please do a lot of Haihan. ”
Yulian snorted: "Look at your crepe, you don't look like a wooden guest." With that Xiao scorpion all the way, but it's not a good person. ”
Liang Yuxi was a little angry: "Why am I not a good person?" ”
"Then what are you running in the field in the middle of the night? I knew that you were a person in this forest farm, or some kind of second shopkeeper, you deserved to be eaten by wolves. ”
Liang Yuxi couldn't help but feel funny when he saw that he was arguing with a little girl, so he saluted again: "Sister Yulian, I'm also a newcomer, and I don't know which of this forest farm is good or bad, and I don't even know what the west and east sides are. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I was in the wild mountains and forests, and I still felt aggrieved. If you hadn't been rescued by your mother, I wouldn't have been able to stand here and argue with you, but I still have to thank you. ”
When Yulian heard him say this, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense, so she asked, "Then how did you sleep in the wilderness?" ”
As soon as the words fell, someone next to him lifted the curtain and went in to answer: "How did you live?" It must have been those wooden guests, who wanted to harm this little brother, and while he was asleep, he was dazzled with incense and thrown into the forest, thinking that he was taken away by wolves. ”
Liang Yuxi heard the sound and took a closer look, and the person who came in was Wu Niang. Hearing her say this, Liang Yuxi also felt that what she said was right, she didn't go to the mountains and forests for no reason, someone must have deliberately taken advantage of the opportunity to sleep and did something.
When he thought about this, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he realized that he was in a worrying situation when he stepped into this place, and he was even almost plotted and killed. I don't know what to do after that.
The fifth mother said: "Last night, the old lady was kind enough to keep you, you still didn't appreciate it, and you almost killed someone." ”
She saw that Liang Yuxi's face was pale, so she quipped: "I slept on this embroidered bed brocade quilt by you, don't be your second shopkeeper, leave a small life, and be my best friend." The old lady here is also similar to brocade clothes and jade food, hundreds of times stronger than if you sleep in the east room and work with a group of strong people. ”
Yulian on the side saw that Liang Yuxi's face was white and red for a while, and she couldn't help but laugh sneeringly.
Liang Yuxi was at a loss, and someone opened the curtain and entered, accompanied by a peculiar fragrance, Wu Niang and Yulian stopped talking at once, and they were busy flashing aside.
The person who came was the middle-aged woman with a black birthmark, but at a closer look, although her appearance was ordinary and her complexion was not good, there was some indescribable nobility and elegance between her eyebrows and eyes and her figure, unlike ordinary people.
Liang Yuxi knew that this was his life-saving benefactor, so he knelt down and said, "Thank you for your life-saving grace, Liang Yuxi kowtowed to you." After saying that, he knocked his head three times in a row.
The middle-aged woman looked at Liang Yuxi on the ground and was unmoved, and said in a cold tone: "You said that you are the new second shopkeeper of this forest farm, I don't know what connection you have with that Xiao Xiaoshen?" You tell the truth. ”
"The kid was originally a little guy in Donglu Mansion, and this is a new errand given by the master. I didn't have much to do with Shopkeeper Xiao, so I was wronged when I first came here. If it weren't for the eldest mother last night, I was afraid that I would have been carried to the mountains and fed the wolves in my dreams. ”
"Since you were sent by the Donglu Mansion, I don't see any skills you have, your master really sent you directly to this tiger's mouth. You should blame your big man. Wu Niang on the side said.
"I'm ashamed to say that Xiao really doesn't have any skills, but the master lifts up, and I don't dare to live up to the master. If I die here, it will be my life. ”
After listening to him, the middle-aged woman sneered: "You are a little life, you can't even look down on Xiao Xiaoshen's pig-like minions, so what chance is there to break your bones." ”
Wu Niang smiled: "It's a pity that you say that, it's a pity that you have such a good skin." If you don't want to be rare yourself, how about you. ”
Liang Yuxi's face was already flushed, and he said in a hurry: "The kid is useless, but if you want to take my life, you must take two of me." ”
The words made Wu Niang and Yulian laugh on the side. The middle-aged woman couldn't help but hide her mouth with her sleeve and snickered. It's just that I feel in my heart that this half-grown son, how can he stay in this forest farm, if he doesn't leave this place, maybe this forest farm will be the place where he will be buried sooner or later.
The woman's face straightened, and the two laughing men stopped when they saw it.
"Boy, I think you still took care of your own life as soon as possible and left this place as soon as possible. If you are blindly stubborn, you will inevitably be at the mercy of that group of strongmen, and you don't know how to lose your life. ”
After a pause, he said: "You should also be a person with a high hall, you don't think about yourself, you should also think about them." ”
She didn't reply when she saw Liang Yuxi, she didn't seem to be moved, looking at his stubborn look, she actually said to herself with some emotion: "I can't see it, you are also a man with some courage, I don't know how much stronger than those rat men......"
Then she said to Yulian: "Yulian, we have a side house downstairs, although it is simple, you can help him clean up, and it can be regarded as a place for him." ”
"This ......" Liang Yuxi was a little surprised, I didn't know whether I should stay here or not, but the woman's tone seemed to be unquestionable, he was embarrassed to refuse, and he couldn't find any reason to refuse for a while, and he didn't feel that his tone was weak.
He was a branch of me, Yulian said angrily: "What is this? My mother is considerate of you, you really raised your worth. ”
Wu Niang also said to him, "If you go back to your east house, you will have to be chased by the wolves in the mountains tonight." If you feel like the house is deserted, then you can come to my house. ”
Liang Yuxi was afraid that the woman would say something again, so she hurriedly said, "The little one is just afraid of disturbing you, and has no other meaning,"
