Chapter 066: The Corpse
"Didn't Miss agree to Xiangye and want to marry him, why did she start avoiding Xiangye in the past two days. Could it be shy? Errong asked with a grin, his hands on his cheeks, and his eyes narrowed.
"I'm shy, I just feel upset." Yan Su asked, wringing the handkerchief in his hand.
Since she promised Gu Changfeng that day that she wanted to marry him, this prime minister, who should have been in charge of everything, seems to be more idle. I didn't do anything all day long, just looked at her with two eyes. She didn't feel pampered, only watched, and that feeling drove her crazy.
So, she made an excuse, saying that she was out to buy, and hurriedly pulled Errong out.
The person is out, but the heart is still very irritable.
"Does Miss feel upset about marrying Xiangye, or does she feel upset about not marrying Xiangye?"
"It's upset whether to marry or not to marry." Yan Suwen sighed: "To this day, I know what the ancients mean when they say that it is difficult to ride a tiger." If I don't marry him, the Yan family will inevitably be implicated by me, and when the time comes, my conscience will be uneasy. If I marry him, I don't know what my life will be like for the rest of my life, and I don't like this uncontrollable feeling very much. ”
"The young lady hasn't married yet, what will happen in the future?" Er Rong raised his cheeks: "The slave maid and the young white can see that the prime minister treats the young lady sincerely." Daughters are easy to get, lovers are rare, and young ladies shouldn't think so much. ”
"Maybe, I'm thinking too much."
Yan Suwen lifted the curtain and was about to breathe, but as soon as his fingers touched the corner of the curtain, the carriage suddenly stopped, followed by the angry curse of the coachman.
"Where did the little Hanako come from, get out of here, get out of here!"
"What's wrong?"
Errong frowned and asked through the curtain.
"A little flower boy suddenly rushed out of the street, almost startled the horse, is Madame okay?"
"Miss is fine." Errong lifted the curtain and looked outside: "Be careful when driving, don't be in a hurry to scold when you encounter something." My young lady doesn't like that. ”
"The little one knows, and the little one is also afraid of frightening the lady, so I ...... it" The coachman was talking, and his voice suddenly rose again: "Little Hanako, what are you doing?" Are you looking for death, are you looking for death? Do you know whose carriage this is? ”
"Help me, Madame, help me!"
Before the coachman's curse could hit the ground, the curtain was torn open, and a monkey-like thing came in, so frightened that Errong almost jumped.
After looking closely, I found that it was a black and thin child.
"This dead is called Hanako, and he dares to drill into our carriage to see if I don't skin you alive!" The coachman reached in with a hand and clasped it on the child's shoulder, and was about to drag it out when Yan Suwen saw the child's eyes.
Panicked, scared, and even hopeless.
"Let go, don't touch him!"
"But ma'am, he-"
"It's just a child, it doesn't matter. You let go first and drive the carriage to a secluded spot with few people. Yan Suwen gave Errong a color, Errong stroked his chest, and after his breath stabilized, he lifted the curtain and bent down to go out.
"Hungry?"
Yan Suwen asked softly, picked up a piece of pastry and handed it over.
The child looked at her, but did not dare to reach out or move.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
Yan Su smiled, pulled the child's hand over, and then put the pastry in his hand.
"Eat, eat, let's talk again."
The child pursed his lips, lowered his head, brought the pastry to his mouth, and hesitated for a while before gobbling it up.
"What's your name?"
"No name."
"How can there be no name?"
"Bastard, they all call me little bastard." The child said with his head down.
Yan Suwen felt a pain in his heart, those two words were clearly vicious and scolding words.
"And what's your last name?"
The child shook his head: "I don't have a surname. ”
"Where's your father?"
"I don't have a father either."
"Then you are ......"
"I was raised by an old beggar, and I have been with him for as long as I can remember. He called me a little beggar, but the other beggars called me a little bastard. I don't know who my parents are, where my home is, and why I came to this world. I don't have a name, let alone a surname. ”
"And what about the old beggar who brought you up?"
"It's dead, it's been a long time." The child bit his lip stubbornly: "I don't remember what he looks like, I only remember the smell of his body, very smelly, very smelly." ”
Yan Suwen's heart became even more sour, and she asked the child, "Do you want a surname?" Do you want a name of your own? ”
The child shook his head.
"My surname is Yan." Yan Suwen said softly: "My father and mother only gave birth to me, and I really hope to have a younger brother." How about I consider you a brother, if you will? ”
The child looked up at her, his eyes full of distrust.
"It's okay, you can think about it first."
Yan Suwen said with a smile, and at the same time, put another piece of pastry in the child's hand.
The child stared at the pastry and said sullenly: "Can I also be surnamed Yan?" ”
"Hmm." Yan Su asked and nodded: "You can have the surname Yan, I will give you my surname, and give you the right to name yourself." ”
"Okay, then my surname is Yan." The child swallows the pastry: "And what is your name?" ”
"Yan Su asked, my name is Yan Su asked."
"Su asked? What does it mean to ask a question? ”
"A medical book, the name of a medical book."
"So, are there any other medical books?"
"Yes, many, many."
"So, are there any medical books that are suitable for names?"
"This ......"
"Isn't that new?" The child looked at her with some loss: "No, it's okay." ”
"It's not that there isn't, it's a lot, it's just that I don't know which one to choose."
"What comes to mind when you mention your name?"
"Corpse."
"What is a corpse?"
"It's also the name of the medical book. "Lingshu" and "Su Wen" are combined and called "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing". ”
"Then can I be called Yan Lingshu?" The child's eyes are bright.
Yan Suwen thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, then you will be called Yan Lingshu in the future." ”
The child's originally dark face suddenly lit up. He got up, deliberately straightened his dirty and messy clothes, then knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Lingshu has seen my sister!" ”
"Good!" Yan Suwen touched his head and helped him up: "Now, can you tell me why you suddenly rushed out of the street and why you stopped our carriage?" I know you didn't mean it, no kid would be joking with his life. If this horse is shocked, it is possible to trample you to death in the street. ”
"I didn't mean to."
"I know."
"Someone is going to kill me."
"Why?" Yan Suwen was shocked again.
The child in front of him is a complete little beggar in appearance and dress. Who would be idle and idle to kill such a little beggar?
"Because...... Because ......" the child rubbed the corners of his clothes: "No, I can't tell my sister, if I tell my sister, they will also hunt her down." ”
"Sister is not afraid."
"But the corpse is afraid. It was not easy for the corpse to have a sister, and to have his own surname and first name, and the corpse should not lose all this. The boy said, gritting his teeth, and preparing to slip out of the carriage.
Yan Suwen stretched out his hand and held the child's arm at once: "Yan Lingshu, do you think that this carriage can enter if you want to enter, and you can get out if you want to?" ”
"Sister let go!"
"If you can break free, run away."
The child tried to struggle a few times and gave up.
"Lingshu, my sister is not as useless as you think, and she is not as afraid of things as you think. Do you know whose carriage it is? ”
The child shook his head.
"Yecheng Gu family."
"Gu family?"
"When the dynasty was a product of Zaifu, Gu Yanqing's carriage. You've been in Yecheng since you were a child, you always know about Gu Xiang, right? ”
"Gu ......" the child showed a panicked expression.
"My surname is Yan, and I am the daughter of the imperial physician Yan family, and the Gu Xiang you are afraid of is my future husband, that is, your future brother-in-law. Little Lingshu, my family has been cleaned for you, aren't you going to tell me the truth? ”
"What my sister said is true?"
"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a walk."
"No, no, no, I'm not going, I believe my sister is." The child looked down at himself: "The way I look, going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, is the one who spends the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Yan Su asked if he didn't deliberately comfort him, he has been a beggar since he was a child, and this kind of inferiority complex and lack of self-confidence can't be changed in a while. Now, what she needs to figure out is who is chasing such a child.
Seeing that the road is uneven, she draws a knife to help, these are probably things that have been engraved in her bones in her previous life. Although she is no longer the female military doctor in military uniform, but the second lady of the imperial doctor family, as long as she meets her, she can't ignore it.
"I don't know who they are, I just know that they're going to kill me."
"Why did they kill you?"
"Because I saw them kill."
"Who did they kill?"
"Jin Niang!"
"Jin Niang?"
"My sister may not know her, she is the female shopkeeper who opened a shop in Shilipu, she is very good-looking, and many beggars like to beg there. She has a bad temper, but she has a good heart, and often brings me some food and drink. Also, she would throw some old clothes at me, saying that she didn't want them, but those clothes were all remade, and they were all I could wear. They killed her, I wanted to save her, but I was scared, I couldn't do anything. ”
As the child spoke, tears rolled down his face.
It can be seen that he is very sad and blames himself.
"Where were you then?"
"I'm hiding in the closet." The child bit his lip: "It was Jin Niang who called me in, saying that I was asked to help her throw away some old clothes." I said it was lost, but it was actually given to me. I was standing in the shop, Jin Niang was rummaging for clothes, the door suddenly rang, and Jin Niang's face changed. I wanted to look back, but she shoved me in the closet and told me not to go out. ”
