Chapter 149 Grimace at the Door (1)
In the second lunar month of the third year of Tongzhi, a murder occurred in Jinhua Mansion, Zhejiang Province, which shocked the whole province.
This is an ancient temple located in the north of Jinhua City, the temple nave tower of the black tile Zhu wall is towering, the courtyard is forested, but because it is far away from the hustle and bustle and is hidden in the forest, and there are no monks to settle down, the recitation is thin, it seems that it is quite lacking the gas of incense.
At the entrance of the gate, the plaque above the dust for a long time is written with the three words of "Lanruo Temple" in small seal font, according to legend, the main body of the temple was built in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and the name is the abbreviation of "Alan Ruo", which is derived from the transliteration of Sanskrit "forest", and is extended to be a place where there is no distress and trouble.
Passed to the Qing Dynasty Tongzhi three years, after the baptism of war on the land of China, many ancient temples have become broken tiles, but Lanruo Temple is still standing after a long time of wind and frost, not only become the Jiangdong people in the mind of the place of silence and no distress, the people who come here to have fun are also increasingly vigorous, the spirit of rouge women is very strong.
It was the third watch of the night, in a dilapidated wing room on the west side of the temple, after a man and a woman moaned on the haystack, the man got up to change his clothes, but the woman was tearful on the haystack, reluctant.
"Master, when this is the case, are you leaving?"
The man looked at the dark night sky through the window, and sighed deeply: "Alas, what can you do if you don't leave?" Tomorrow, the Qing demon will attack Jinhua, and although the left demon head does not have many troops, they are all elite generals. Since our Heavenly Army recruited a large number of Zhejiang soldiers, it has been mixed, and on the surface, it seems that there are many people, but the discipline is lax and the people's minds have changed. If you can't beat it, you can only withdraw. ”
The woman said lonely: "Then master, can you leave with the slave family?" ”
The man shook his head and said, "I'm just a general, and you also know that according to the military discipline of the Heavenly Kingdom, if you hold an official position below the prime minister's level, you can't bring your female dependents." ”
The woman asked, "When will the old man be promoted to prime minister?" ”
The man seemed to have already calculated this problem in his heart, and he didn't want to say: "Under normal circumstances, two or three years, but if today's national official position is chaotic, if there are outstanding military exploits and are appreciated by superiors, it is not impossible to be promoted because of the opportunity to improve the line of fire." ”
The woman was silent for a long time, and then said, "Master, there is a saying, the slave family doesn't know whether to say it or not, maybe it's a little rebellious, but the slave family has indeed been holding back in their hearts for a long time, and they really don't vomit or feel unhappy." ”
The man didn't turn his head, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, if you have anything to say, finish it here and now, no matter how rebellious it is, I will never say half an angry word, but after speaking today, we must completely rot it in our stomachs." ”
The woman said: "Everyone in the world knows, no matter how hard King Hong and you soldiers support, the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a sure thing, if you resist to the end, the lord will not give up a life in vain, how can we look forward to two or three years?" Since you and I are sincere, sir, why don't you leave Zhejiang with the slave family and go to the north, to the border, to the ends of the earth, or any place where no one knows us, and live an incognito idyllic life? ”
The man turned around, squatted in front of the woman, and said gently: "Shuyun, sure enough, there are some words, and only you really dare to say them." You know, since I met you here last year, I have never been able to move the slightest affection for the other dusty women. Wang Dun also often thought in his heart, if I were not a member of the God Worship Society and a soldier of the Kingdom of Heaven, and I had come to know you as soon as possible, how good would it be for us to be like Adam and Eve, who lived carefree in the Garden of Eden for the rest of our lives. But now that I have embarked on this road of no return, like the two who were deceived by the evil serpent and stole the forbidden fruit, I never had the possibility of returning to the Garden of Eden, even though I felt all the remorse in my heart. But even so, I still have to protect that evil snake, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, we are still there
However, I hope that it can become a real dragon, otherwise, even this small Lanruo Temple may not be able to tolerate us. ”
Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but shed sad tears, and choked up: "What the master thinks in his heart, the slave family also feels the same in his heart, but I don't know, why does this world treat all beings so cruelly? If the world is so miserable, what is the point of us coming to this world to walk through it? Wealth, fame, dragon chairs, is it really that important? Is it worth the tens of thousands of originally fresh lives to be followed by the predecessors and become worthless dry bones in the grave? Sir, you said that it is a luxury for two beloved people to spend a moment together on this simple haystack, and tomorrow they will have to be separated from each other, and they will not know when they will meet. Even if King Hong became a real dragon, what joy could he have for ordinary people? ”
"Yes, this is really a question worth thinking about......" The man wiped away the tears for the woman sadly, sighed to himself, leaned less, and finally made up his mind, and said resolutely, "Okay, Shuyun, the ancients 'sacrificed their lives to accompany the gentleman', tonight I Wang Dun might as well sacrifice my life to accompany my beloved woman, no matter what happens tomorrow, it will definitely make our lives less regretful." ”
Only then did the woman restrain her sadness a little, and said with an indifferent smile: "If that's the case, it's really embarrassing for the master." ”
The man stroked the woman's cheek: "I also promise you, if one day I regain my freedom, I will definitely come to marry you." Okay, I'll go back for a while. With that, the man got up and walked out of the chamber and went to the latrine.
After the small explanation, the man was full of thoughts, and stood in the courtyard for a long time, looking at the night in a daze.
After leaning less, I heard another woman's ambiguous voice coming from the east wing: "Lord Wang, the little woman has been waiting for you here for a long time, why is she standing in the courtyard for a long time and refusing to come over?" ”
The man was stunned, although this woman's voice was also young, but it was not the timbre of Shuyun, and there was an evil spirit in the ambiguity, so he thought that this Lanruo Temple was originally a place for many rouge women to fish for rich men, and he was a great general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, although he was not as good as the princely general, he was also famous, and it was common for women to look at him, so he was not surprised, and turned his head to look at the east wing.
Although the night is dark, but if there is a shadow haunting, you can take a look, but the man looks at it, the door of the east wing is closed, and there is no one on the terrace outside the door, and he looks around, and sees that there are no other women in the porch and the temple tower, so he is more and more puzzled in his heart, wondering whether it is Shuyun calling himself.
There was silence for a moment, and in the midst of a soft chirping of insects and frogs, the man heard the voice again.
"Lord Wang, if you don't come here at this time, when will you wait? Do you have to wait until dawn to see the little woman as if she is completely skinny? ”
Shuyun was in the west chamber just now, this time, the man determined that the voice came from the east chamber, and Shuyun categorically could not call herself "Lord Wang", so he determined that the woman's voice was sent by someone else, and walked to the east chamber to see what happened.
When he walked to the door of the East Chamber, he was about to push the door in, but found that the door was locked, and the man suddenly felt a cold sweat behind him, thinking that there have been frequent hauntings in Jinhua Mansion in recent days, should he have encountered it today?
Just as he was about to turn away, suddenly a woman's face appeared on the door!
Although his face is pale, his face is full of mantis eyebrows, and his smile is like jade, without looking at his figure and bearing, it is enough to make every man who witnesses his beauty unable not to fall for it!
The man was so frightened that he took two steps back, his face was frightened, and he instinctively touched the Pu knife on his waist with his right hand, and asked in fear: "You, what kind of monster are you?" ”
The man smiled evilly and said, "Lord Wang has read countless women, how come he has become acquainted with the opposite wing
After that vulgar woman, he never touched his heart for other women? Lord Wang is so dedicated, although he has won a good reputation for himself, how can he ever think that we, the women who are dependent on you, have so much lovesickness and jealousy in our hearts? ”
The man had already pulled out the knife, and said sharply but without losing fear: "You, you don't talk nonsense, I don't know you, I don't care if you are a human or a demon or a ghost today, you get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" ”
"Yo yo yo, Lord Wang, don't be so nervous, I'm here to see you, but I just want to ask, do you think I'm beautiful?" After speaking, a red light appeared on the woman's face, and her eyes lit up, and the red light had already been transmitted to the man.
The man was caught off guard, his whole body was wrapped in red light in an instant, and the momentum just now suddenly became invisible, and for a while it seemed that his thoughts were also controlled by the woman's face, and he muttered: "I think you, so beautiful!" ”
"So, am I the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Yes, you are the most beautiful woman in the world."
The woman smiled and asked, "So, apart from me, Lord Wang's heart, no matter his lover, parents, brothers, or friends, can he no longer tolerate others?" ”
The man replied expressionlessly: "Yes, in my heart, I can no longer tolerate others." ”
The woman's face suddenly became hideous, and a vine protruded from her forehead, wrapping around the man's chest, and asked, "What will you do if someone else intrudes into your heart?" ”
The man did not react to the vines, and responded: "Then I should squeeze him out in my heart, and I will die." ”
"That's good." The woman's face smiled, as if she was satisfied, and disappeared from the door.
The red light and vines naturally disappeared without a trace, and the surroundings immediately dimmed, as if nothing had happened.
The man had regained his senses at this moment, and stood alone in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, recalling the scene just now, and unconsciously glanced at the east wing.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, the man only felt that he seemed to have accidentally fallen asleep halfway through, and had a dream in a trance.
At this moment, Shuyun's voice came from the west side again: "Master, are you still there?" ”
Only then did the man settle down, thinking that Shuyun had been waiting for him for a long time, he hurriedly responded: "Ah...... I didn't leave, I just came out to breathe, and I came in. ”
Entering the West Chamber, Shuyun was looking at herself with a worried expression: "Great, the slave family thought that the master was an excuse to go to the toilet, but in fact, he left the slave family and went back to the barracks by himself." ”
The man lay down beside the woman, thinking, although my Shuyun is not so beautiful that the country is captivating, but in my heart there is no one to replace, how can I praise other women for being the most beautiful in the world? He smiled and comforted: "How can I, Wang Dun, ever be a man of his word? I promised to spend the night with you here, so I thought I was a promise, how could I escape? ”
"That'll be fine." The woman frowned suddenly and scratched her neck, "There seem to be some mosquitoes in this haystack, which make the slaves itch, let's put on our clothes." ”
"Okay, get dressed and be careful of catching a cold." After saying that, the man felt a wave of dizziness, covered his head with his hands, and groaned.
The woman asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ah, it's okay, it's just that the wind blew in the yard for a while just now, and my head hurts, it's okay, just rest for a while." After speaking, the man didn't want the woman to worry, so he no longer covered his head, pretended to be nothing, held the woman in his arms, kissed her deeply, and fell asleep.
