Chapter 001: Incense Ash Mark
"Wake up, girl! If you don't wake up again, this yard will be messed up! Girl? Girl? Don't sleep! Girl!! β
A pair of hands slammed Shen Shu up from the bed, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a green-clothed maid, who was puffing out her cheeks, looking at herself angrily.
"Green peach?"
Shen Shu seemed to have had a long, long dream, her head was groggy, as if she was stuffed with something, but she couldn't tell what those were all about, and even the maid in front of her looked strange.
The girl who was called a green peach by her pursed her lips when she saw Shen Shu's look.
"Girl, don't pretend anymore, the doctor has told his wife, it's okay for you to fall in the Buddha Hall, you will be fine after a half-day rest at most, absolutely, absolutely will not lose your memory! Chunying brought the words over, and after Mrs. asked you to wake up, she copied the "Female Commandment" fifty times and was grounded for three days, otherwise all those words and books would be confiscated! β
Lu Tao said, and without saying a word, picked up Shen Shu and walked outside.
"Before copying the book, what should you do with the things in the yard? There are several people in the kitchen, if you don't show it again, our yard will be ruined, if Mrs. knows that you and the third young master are messing around like this, she will definitely ban you again! β
Green Peach's voice was open, and every time she said one more word, Shen Shu's temples jumped suddenly.
She was hesitating whether to faint on the spot and ask for reliefβ
I saw that the curtain embroidered with the begonia pattern was picked by the green peach, and a stinky smell came to my face!
"Vomit ......"
Shen Shu was already dizzy, but when she smelled this smell again, she retched directly.
However, the next moment-
"Goo-goo...... Cuckoo...... Goo ......"
"Gaga...... Ga...... Ga...... Ga ......"
"Giggle...... Cluck...... Giggle......"
"Chirp...... Chirp...... Chirp...... Tweet ......"
"Meow...... Meow ...... Meow ......"
The fishy smell was mixed with the cries of some poultry animals, which made Shen Shu have a strong desire to survive and pushed away the green peach's hand.
She closed her eyes, leaned against the wall, collapsed and complained: "What did you guys do in the yard while I was asleep...... I'm so used to you......"
This sentence is like a dog day that ignites a cannonball-
"Girl!! These fighting cocks, ducks, pigeons, and birds, but they are all caught in the yard by you, and they are everywhere, turning our fragrant peach blossom Zhai into a farm! We've managed to put them in cages, and if you don't say what to do with them, the slaves and maids will be sent to the kitchen! β
When Shen Shu heard this, she chuckled in her heart, and suddenly woke up.
She turned her head to look, and in the corner of the yard, there were several cages under the peach blossom treeβ
There are black and green fighting cocks, gray fluttering ducks, white doves, and red-feathered finches...... And the cats that stare at them from outside the cage......
This scene was like someone had opened a certain mechanism, which made a picture suddenly pop out of Shen Shu's mind.
It's like a picture from a dream!
Shen Shu staggered to the middle cage and stopped.
There is a white dove in the cage.
The pigeon was snow-white, and he was tilting his head to look at her, and his red eyes were like a fine jewel.
It "cooed" at Shen Shu, it was so vivid.
It's so fresh that Shen Shu couldn't help but open the cage and grab it in her hand!
Warm, alive.
Shen Shu's heart trembled, and she wiped the pigeon's eyebrows vigorously-
She handed the pigeon to the green peach: "Look at it, what color is it in the center of its eyebrows, is there anything?" β
Green Peach's eyes widened.
"The white pigeon you named, of course, its eyebrows are white, the whole body is pure white, and the kitchen is cleaned and sent."
Hearing this, Shen Shu only felt a sour heart.
"Wow-" and she hugged the white dove and cried!
That cry seemed to be mixed with endless pain, and it seemed to be a long-lost treasure, and anyone who listened to it couldn't help but have red eyes.
Shen Shu's crying head swelled.
The more she cried, the more dreams in the courtyard popped up in her mind.
In the dream, it was also such a spring day, she made a mistake and was punished by her mother to kneel in the Buddha hall, but she accidentally fell and broke her head, and when she woke up, she found that she could see the living thing that was about to die, and how much yang shou was left.
If a living creature has a day left to live, there is a petal-shaped incense ash mark on the center of their eyebrows.
If there are two days left, it will be two.
There are three days left, and that is three ways.
If it is less than a day, the incense ash mark is incomplete.
The pigeon in her arms was killed by her third brother before she knelt in the Buddha Hall.
When she woke up in her dream and saw it, the white pigeon's eyebrows had a fragrant ash mark the size of half a fingernail.
It means that there is only one hour of yang longevity left.
In the dream, she didn't seem to know the reason for this, and ate a cup of pigeon soup with relish.
O miserable pigeon!
Shen Shu couldn't tell why, her body seemed to be thanking the tragic fate of the pigeon in her dream, and even her heart was inexplicably uncomfortable, and she just wanted to cry for it well and happily.
Green Peach was dumbfounded by Shen Shu's sudden crying.
From childhood to adulthood, the tears of my own girls are like golden beans, except for pretending to be a pretending to be when I am punished by the master, squeezing a few tears to "survive", but I never cry!
Could it be ...... What new words did the girl read, and as soon as she woke up, she wanted to play the bitter and hateful "Tsing Yi" in those excerpts?
This pigeon ...... must be the negative person in the book!
Thinking so, Green Peach said indignantly: "Girl, this pigeon dares to hurt your heart so much, I will send it to the kitchen at once!" Plucking! Bloodletting! Wait until it's painful, and then stew it and feed it to the dogs, what do you think?! β
When Shen Shu heard this, she protected the pigeon tighter.
"Don't stew, I don't let this pigeon die!"
Green Peach instantly understood-
This pigeon is not a negative person, maybe it is the son who has a deep love with "Tsing Yi" in the book!
The girl dressed as "Tsing Yi" is crying like this, someone must be trying to break up their lovers!
Green Peach hurriedly cooperated with the action of wiping her neck, pointed behind her, gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's wipe out all these traitors?!" β
When Shen Shu heard this, she instinctively turned around and looked at the remaining cages-
In a word, the living creatures in the cage all looked as if they had been branded, and there were fragrant ash petal prints the size of half a fingernail!
Shen Shu closed her eyes, and her mind was once again chaotic with some dream-like images.
In her dreams, she seemed to have seen many of these incense marks, birds, beasts, fish, insects, and people.
Many, many people!
In the dark, it seemed that there were hands desperately stopping her, telling her to "not delve into" that vague dream.
Shen Shu wiped her tears, stuffed the pigeon into the green peach's hand, and said solemnly in a tone that she had never had before: "These living creatures are not allowed to be killed, find someone to send them to Zhuangzi, so that they can be raised." β
She paused: "If my mother asks, she will say that I am in the Buddha hall at noon and have made a wish to the Bodhisattva that from now on I will only eat vegetarian food and not kill." β
