Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Year in the Snap of a Finger
In a trance, the noise in my ears seemed to be muffled thunder. I gradually woke up and realized that it was the sound of speech when I heard it clearly. Glancing at the window, it was already bright outside, and outside the dormitory was the council hall, which should be the time for He Lu and the tribal leader to discuss things.
I moved, and I felt that my bones were falling apart, and I couldn't get up.
I lay on the 'bed' for a while, and the noise outside quieted down before finally subsided. As soon as the curtain was lifted, He Lu walked in energetically, and when he saw that I was awake, he said, "Get up when you wake up and go back to your room." ”
I frowned slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat up with all my strength, but the clothes on my body had already been torn by him, and only a thin quilt was covered. I hurriedly pulled the quilt to block it, and He Lu cursed in a low voice: "You're seducing me again!" walked up to me and picked me up, I hurriedly said, "I'...... I'm so tired......"
He snorted coldly and shouted into the 'waiter' and 'woman', and the 'waiter' and 'woman' took the food and fed me a bowl of porridge. He Lu didn't mean to leave, I whispered, "Can you prepare some water for me, I want to take a bath." He said a word of trouble, asked the 'maid' and 'woman' to step down, wrapped me in a thin quilt, and carried me out.
I was shocked, "What are you going to do?"
He went out into the courtyard, told the guards to retreat, and said, "There is a spring here, you can just wash it, who is impatient to boil water every day to bathe!"
I bit my lip and said nothing, and he threw me into the spring, and the cold water swept over my whole body at once. I didn't struggle, I didn't go upstream, I sank slowly.
It would be fine if he died like this.
But I had long since lost the right to choose life and death, He Lu jumped down and dragged me up, I choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and coughed in his arms. He seemed to be very angry, but he did nothing, and carried me back to his dormitory, ordered the 'maid' and 'maid' to dress me, and called Namdu.
Namudu only did a symbolic 'sex' examination, and the real injury was hindered by the male 'female', so he naturally couldn't check it, but he seemed to know everything, muttered a few words to He Lu, and left without prescribing 'medicine'.
He Lu glanced at me, said a few words to the 'waiter' and 'woman', and walked out.
All day, I stayed on the 'bed', and finally rested until the evening, ate a bowl of porridge with some wind-pickled side dishes, and still lay down to rest.
After closing his eyes for a while, there was a commotion outside the 'door', and there was a 'woman' voice. When I opened my eyes, a fiery figure rushed in. I sighed secretly, who would dare to argue with He Lu's guards except Buzhen, who would dare to break into his dormitory, who would be my enemy?
Buzhen's eyes erupted with fire, pointed at me and scolded, and 'drawn' his waist knife. I smiled coldly, don't you need a whip now, but use a waist knife instead? Okay, if you can really kill me with a knife, I will thank you.
But Buzhen only pointed at me angrily, but he didn't cut it down. I looked at her in confusion, she bit her lip stubbornly, her eyes were first angry, then she became aggrieved, and finally she lowered her eyes, and her nose was inciting, as if she was about to cry.
I was dumbfounded, is this still that arrogant step? She was obviously about to become the Kedun of He Lu, but it was as if she had been greatly wronged.
"I'm just a 'servant' concubine, why do you want to be like this? If you really don't get angry, you can kill me directly. I said lightly, but unfortunately she didn't necessarily understand.
Bujin threw himself on the side of the bed, tugged at my sleeve, and said in Chinese with great difficulty: "I...... Like...... Him!"
I nodded and said, "I know." ”
She said, "He likes you!"
I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head with a wry smile, and said slowly: "I'm just his captive, his 'attendant' concubine, and the tool he uses to vent." ”
She looked at me suspiciously, as if she didn't understand, but she could feel my sadness. Maybe she thought it was weird, right?
But the honey of A is arsenic, and the arsenic of B.
She tugged at my sleeve and said, "Don't ...... I like him, I want him to like me!"
Is it for me not to like He Lu, so that He Lu can find out how good she is, and like her? But according to He Lu's 'nature', it doesn't seem that he likes such a flamboyant person like her, otherwise, his childhood sweetheart for so many years would not be unclear by now.
I smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't like him." "How can a prey fall in love with a hunter? What's more, after last night, I know that there is no turning back, so my heart is dead.
There was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the 'door', He Lu walked in with a blue face, Buzhen stood up, and He Lu just saw the waist knife in her hand. He Lu snatched it and scolded a few times. But this time Buzhen didn't quarrel with him, but glared at him with tears in his eyes and didn't say a word.
He Lu looked at me, I shook my head, and said, "She didn't hurt me, you misunderstood him." He Lu's face was a little embarrassed, a little unsightly, frowned, returned the waist knife to her, and let her out.
Buzhen didn't leave, still looking at him like that, He Lu was impatient and dragged her out.
I looked at the shaking curtain, sat silently for a long time, and said to the 'waiter' and 'girl': "I'm going to rest, you go down." "She bowed down, and I lay flat on the 'bed' and closed my eyes.
About half an hour later, He Lu came back, lay directly next to me, reached out and took me in his arms, and put his palm in front of my 'chest'. I nudged him and muffled, "I'm still in pain." ”
He turned me over and smiled, "Does it still hurt? You're really useless, you fainted last night before I was done." He replied regardless of it, and said, "However, it's good to get used to it." ”
I closed my eyes helplessly, he buried his head in my neck, and the giant thing began to torment me again...... In order to distract myself, I suddenly asked, "Didn't you say that you were going to marry Bu Zhen Ke Dun......?" Hmmm......"
While slowly 'twitching', he said with a smile: "As far as 'shooting' Shetidun is concerned, Andong Sanzhou is more cost-effective than his own 'woman' in name only!"
I was stunned, frowned, and said, "You actually gave Andong Sanzhou to 'shoot' Shetidun? Aren't you afraid that he will occupy the land as the king and be your enemy?"
He laughed, his waist sinked hard, and I grabbed his arm and screamed in pain. But he smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of him back, I'm afraid that he won't fight! No, how can you justifiably kill him, huh?"
I was stunned again, and then I understood, oh, I see!
Later, I fainted again, and under Namdu's repeated admonitions, He Lu did not touch me for three days, but I had completely lost my freedom here. The only place that can move is He Lu's dormitory, if you want to go out, you must be under his nose, otherwise, you can only stay in the room obediently!
At the end of September, the tent returned to Shuanghe, where he spent the winter, and returned to Qianquan in the summer of the following year.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and in this year, I have lived like a walking corpse 'meat', not more than three sentences a day, and I have not spoken for a while or even a month. He Lu doesn't care, he won't lose his temper as long as he can see me at any time, otherwise, he will vent all his dissatisfaction on me.
In the winter of the second year, I returned to Shuanghe again, and the 'jade' and 'gate' were closed, but the news came that made me thunder.
The regent deposed the young emperor and established himself as the new king
