Chapter 03: Dressed up for a bloody feast

The girl outside also called me a girl with a "tuk tuk" lightly buckled the door knocker, and whispered softly: "Do you need my help?" ”

"Ah, no need!"

I then took a few bath beans and dissolved them in water, rubbed them on my body, and then released several medicinal fragrances, which decontaminated and smoothed the skin.

When I carefully washed away the dust of the past few days, and wiped off the water droplets with a clean, coarse cloth bath towel, I thought that the turmoil had come to an end for the time being. And when the maidservant girl and I were dressing up, I pulled out the pity she wanted to hide from the mirror, and made my heart hang high just now.

She always cherished words like gold, and did not make small talk with me about irrelevant and unnecessary words. She also sensed that I wanted to ask a question, so she silently avoided it. He only compared all kinds of beads and flowers to my hair, as if he wanted to make me look like I was going to a banquet.

I'm not going to force her to say something reluctant, what if it's a blessing or a curse to know in advance? Often you can't hide.

I withdrew my gaze, it was better to take pity on the person in the mirror, and saw that the contours of my facial features had not changed, but the state of my skin had really returned to the age of sixteen.

As white as a lychee, it can be broken by blowing.

I am intoxicated by the beauty of time, not lost and regained, nor like a new life.

Under her skillful hands, the thrush is like a smoky willow, the lips are a little red, and the newly pasted yellow is also a novelty at first sight.

So according to the treatment of the official lady, she was inexplicably held in the palm of her hand for an afternoon, and someone put chopsticks for you even when you were eating.

In the evening, when the banquet was about to be held, the maidservant girl and I changed into a splendid dress, and the apricot pink and rose red were intertwined, gradually changing into a kind of coquettishness. I've never worn such a gaudy outfit, and the beauty is that when it gets on its body, every gesture and gesture naturally gives rise to a thousand manners.

Because I understand its delicacy, I cherish it very much. Lift the hem of your skirt lightly and walk silently. It turns out that I can also shake the fan lightly, step by step.

All the girls gathered in the small south courtyard, for a time can be described as a purple and red charming eyes, just look at the seventeen girls that are tied between their arms of various colors, it is the color of the Dunhuang mural flying in the sky.

A female officer in her forties was waiting at the gate of the South Courtyard to take us out, but behind her were two rows of armed soldiers, all unkempt, all ruining the beautiful marks that had just been painted in my eyes.

Check the roster again, count the number of people, and be verbose.

Then they were called out one by one. I clicked, but just as I was about to step out of the courtyard, the maidservant girl who served me in the garden suddenly came to me to stop, and I looked back, but saw her panicked look.

She stepped forward and grabbed my sleeve, put the two items I had put in the jewelry box back in my palm, and said reluctantly, "Girl, you left it, put it away." ”

I kept turning my head to look at her, and the sound of the female officer's urging made it impossible for me to stay, so I took a few steps to look back.

She was very slender, and she had long been a servant of her standing slightly curled up, her eyes half-raised, but I knew she was watching me.

Until this scene is getting farther and farther away, and it is out of sight......

I put on my toy necklace and watch, and my heart was gloomy. I didn't forget the two items there, I thought I would return to that place in the evening...... At present, the information provided is too clear, eighty percent of them can't go back, and the ape in my heart has long been crying on both sides of the strait, and the world is so big that there is no home.

The girls on the side were still talking and laughing, but I was the only one with a solemn expression. It's also bitter in my heart, no matter if the situation is like this, I just feel sensitive, and I always know the sad things first, and I can only sigh that the happy time is really pitiful.

The sky was as blue as blue, and the torches that could be seen everywhere in the camp were burning hotly. The red and red reflected in the girls' dresses made it even more beautiful, and I had no intention of appreciating it.

All the way to the easternmost training ground, the sheng flute and wind music came from afar, the tune was cheerful, I took a deep breath to refresh my mind and calm my heart.

"It's really a feast, maybe I'm thinking too much." I tried to deceive myself as much as I could, but I found that I was no longer qualified to deceive myself, because in the meantime I had calmed down and made up my mind to protect myself with all my might.

Suddenly, I found that once a person breaks through a layer of mental prison, as if he no longer escapes and faces it rationally, the power of breaking the cocoon will in turn bless him.

The more powerful, the lighter.

A few months ago, Da Mianjuan was still serious one day: "Yusu, I really envy your state!" ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"You're now, light and powerful."

Then this sentence became one of the most striking marks about her in my mind. The so-called merits are not exaggerated, but someone has refined them in this way and given them back to you, which is simply a recognition of the increasing success of your life practice!

But the humor is that the brilliance of a person in your heart is nothing more than how she compliments you. This obviously represents the full limitations of the relationship between the two, your disapproval of her and the fact that it is difficult to be friends.

After she said that, I smiled at her pregnant body and stocky face. I didn't take it seriously, I didn't even look at her at all, and I hurriedly skimmed over the glass door behind her, and the sewage outside the door always pooled into a puddle.

Many adults' social knowledge is like eating fast food at the table with colleagues, and then you also help Da Yanjuan throw away the leftovers, and you have to pinch out a happy tone and say: "I'll come, I'll come, it's too hot outside, pregnant women take care." ”

In this way, a simple adult social interaction was completed with seemingly polite and thoughtful skills, maintaining everyone's apparent harmony.

I've always scoffed at this, but when I grew up, I adjusted the scale of a little mellow in order to live as peacefully as possible, which can be regarded as my last stubbornness. As for the so-called honey-bellied sword, sugar-coated cannonballs, gentle knives cut people's lives, and bent their waists for Doumi...... And so on, style behavior is not in the scope of my cognition.

Then, I wanted to be good to myself and others, and I wanted to be all-encompassing, but I never practiced well in that time and space, and I withdrew halfway, so that I am now tossing and turning in this chaotic place where the era is not clear, the geography is unknown, and everything is weird.

And at the age of twenty-nine years old to live in the body of sixteen years old. Is the light and shadow of my thirteen years to tell me that I have lived in vain for such a long time?

It's really spicy irony!

The laughter and scolding of myself in my heart made my mood much lighter.

After walking to the right side of the training ground, the boss ordered us to find our own position and stand in a line to the east. In his words, it's like standing in a row of potted plants?

In front of him is unfinished singing and dancing, and on the high platform on the left are several men drinking and eating meat, and there is a Taoist priest with hair in a black robe.

Thinking that the opportunity for forgiveness had arrived, the girls crowded forward one after another, standing in the front row in the hope of having a chance to perform. The only ones left were Apple and the girl in Tsing Yi, and the three of us were sunk behind, so I didn't have to rush to tear at their clothes to warn of the potential danger.

Looking at the banquet again, they mostly talked and drank freely, and their laughter was exaggerated. The only old man behaved more restrained and did not enter the stream. I secretly observed, although the old man was only in regular clothes, but he was a purple robe and jade belt, and his identity must be precious. And the chairman has two, and he sits on the left, according to the arrangement of the left and right sides of today's clothing, it should be the left respect.

While speaking, the two servants grabbed a crane alive and brought it to the banquet table, and the long-faced man sitting on the right took the dagger off the roast leg of lamb and wiped the crane's neck directly.

The sound of the crane soared into the sky, extremely miserable, and those who heard it were terrified. And the man's face did not change, and he took the wine bottle and received the blood of the crane to entertain everyone, and the radiant recommendation praised this "peerless tonic"!

The old man in purple was busy dusting off the blood spots splashed on his sleeve, his face was dissatisfied but tense, he didn't open his mouth to stop it, only indifferently pushed away the blood wine in front of him. It looks like a man with a long face who is not as powerful as him.

Several people here became more and more excited when they tasted the blood, their eyelids began to redden, and there seemed to be fire rushing in their pupils, and the long-faced man led by him smiled: "Everyone, why don't you start the next show?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The people on the left and right are welcoming and looking forward to it, and they don't forget to push the cup and change the lamp. At this time, the crane that had cleaned the blood alive drooped its neck and was dragged out by the shoulder, and there was no life at all.

The long-faced man exchanged glances with the priest with the haired priest, and then high-fived him twice, and the musician stopped playing the dancing girl and withdrew. The black-pressed soldiers pushed out a huge iron cage with wooden wheels from the shadows, estimated to be 100 square meters, and the tired people were bowed like oxen, panting again and again.

The square iron cage and the top cover are all woven with thick iron nets, and the cold light shines under the stars and moon. Because it is a network with large holes, the view from the outside to the inside is extremely clear, like a safety barrier for rare birds and animals in the circus.

When they moved to the center of the training ground, all the soldiers divided their work, half of them held the cage net in their hands, and half of them tightened the ropes. When he was full of energy, he shouted the trumpet, and in an instant, he lifted the iron cage up with all his strength, and the other side pulled the wooden wheel out with lightning power. Then the giant iron fell to the ground, clanging, stirring up a mist of dust.

When they sweated, a few others took out a prisoner's cart from the southwest corner, and sealed it tightly, until they opened the door of the iron cage and threw the contents into the cage, which alarmed us!

It was a half-sized tiger, with claws like iron hooks and hooves like rocks, and it was extremely strong. It can be seen that it is returning to the mountain, spinning and running in the cage, and then speeding up with a "boom", and the iron net warehouse is full of fire! Then he stumbled sideways to the ground, agile and sharp. Then it roared wildly, and the sound wave shook far away, and it was shocking!

I couldn't help but rub my nails in my palms and remind myself to be calm.

The girls next to them already had a faint exclamation.

The long-faced man clapped his hands sideways and stood up from the banquet, praising his subordinates for their ability: "Very good, very good, this little beast is full of spirit and powerful!" ”

They exchanged glances, as if they were ready for a grand show!

A eunuch in front of the long-faced man was instructed, and with a whisk in his hand, he walked to the high stone steps and half-talked and half-sang with us: "The immortal master stargazes and takes images, and on the day of your birthday, there will be one or two women with special abilities, and they will be summoned into the palace to help the Son of Heaven." With the grace of the saint, he sent Zuo Xiang and the prince to come to screen. If it is called an ability, it will be able to fight against the tiger beast! The prince is kind, specially picks the tiger cub, and everyone can choose the same weapon, so that there is no injury! ”

His thin eyelids winked at the guards beside us: "Let's go~"

Our crowd has exploded! The cries, screams, and curses were incessant. Before Sister Apple finished speaking, she was paralyzed as mud and fell to the ground.

My head buzzed like lightning, and from the inside of my scalp to my brain spindle, it was like dead wood. Then there is an electric current from the Baihui acupoint penetrating the whole body and then entering the soles of the feet, and the nail person can't move! Only when the heart is repeatedly colic, and there seems to be an invisible hand digging out the heart, it will not fall to the jade mountain.

I tried to regain my senses and inhale! Suck it big! Spit it out again, and spit it out evenly......

After repeating this several times, slowly the fingers became aware and the body warmed up......

As soon as he was able to raise his eyes, he saw that a girl had died in front of the stone steps. I told myself that I had to get rid of my emotions like a machine, and only do what was necessary, and there should be no emotional interference. I walked slowly, trying to maintain my rhythm before the guards behind me made me struggling until I reached the row of weapon racks.

Axes, hooks, forks, knives, guns, swords, halberds, ropes, clubs, everything. Most of the girls in front of them have already been chosen, of course, they may have taken one with their heads covered, and they held it in their hands for different lengths and trembled.

I saw a dagger totem in front of me familiar, daggers, short swords, in the palm of the hand, out of the sheath blue light, there is a kind of guidance in the dark so that I identify it!

"Oh, then pierce this beast's throat while it swallows me."
