Chapter 5 When I Arrived in the World, I Was Struck by Lightning?
On the day that Hongyao left Naihe Bridge, Judge Cui also appeared here very rarely, and saw her off with Meng Po and Niu Tou Ma Mian.
On that day, even the lovers and lovers who jumped into the Nai He Bridge and endured thousands of years of suffering just to meet their lovers again in the next life jumped out of the river and waved goodbye to her.
The scene was a little spectacular for a while, which moved Hongyao. She never knew she was so important to them.
Red Medicine looked at them reluctantly.
At this moment, she suddenly understood that only in the face of parting would people feel a strong sense of reluctance, and they would begin to want to cherish the people and things in the past.
At that moment, she suddenly wanted to stay here forever, accompany Meng Po to read the past in the world, accompany the crazy men and women in the bridge to gossip, and occasionally fight with the bull head and horse noodles; Just when her will was shaken, Meng Po's eyes were deeper than ever.
She seemed to see through Hongyao's thoughts, so she hurriedly urged Hongyao to go on the road, for fear that if she was delayed for a second, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
Room.
Daqing country.
The sky is clear and the sun is shining, and the white clouds float in the air, changing into various shapes with the gentle breeze.
Hongyao's hair hung down on her waist, a gorgeous red wedding dress was on her body, and her two white and delicate feet were exposed outside the hem of her clothes, she was happily walking on a bluestone path that was not narrow or wide, as if she was stepping on a piece of soft cotton, not a cold and hard bluestone slab, and she couldn't feel the discomfort coming from the soles of her feet.
After a few steps, she put a hand on her forehead to block the dazzling sunlight, looked up at the clear blue sky, and said in a very comfortable and happy mood: "Today is really a good day!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind was furious, and the air rumbled with thunder.
"No, it won't! So unexaggerated? Red Medicine looked at the sky covered with black clouds, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
She looked at the hurried and anxious pedestrians on the road, some of them were walking like flying, some of them were running in small steps, and some of them were running as hard as they could.
Everyone wants to find a place to shelter from the rain before the heavy rain comes, so that they don't suffer from the disaster.
"I'd better run first!" Hongyao talked to herself, and then she followed everyone's example and ran too.
However, just as she was about to take a step, her legs seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't move, and at this moment, the dull rumble grew louder and louder.
Pedestrians on the road are running faster and faster.
Her hands kept moving her immobile legs, but they were useless.
Red Medicine began to get scared. She looked up at the cloudy sky, and above her head, there was a huge whirlpool, and in the depths of the whirlpool there was a powerful force, as if it was about to swallow her.
A great, invisible fear gripped her throat and left her breathless.
She stared in horror at the whirlpool above her head, her body motionless.
It was a blue sky and a white day, but now it is as dark as night.
Suddenly a flash of light lit up in the air, illuminating the entire night sky, as well as Red Medicine's face panicked by fear.
A few seconds later, Red Medicine's eyes widened with fear, as a golden lightning bolt in the clouds suddenly emitted several tiny branches, followed by a deafening sound.
Hongyao unconsciously closed his eyes, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
After a few seconds, the sky cleared and the air was much fresher than before.
People are all sighing and sighing at the power of nature.
A man dressed in a man's suit opened the bulky door, muttered a few words to another, and the two continued their day's work.
They stood on either side of the gate, their bodies thin, but they straightened their backs like guards, and their heads held high.
"Huh?" A man bent over and poked his head out, curiously and cautiously walking towards the steps outside the door.
"What's wrong?" The other man looked at the strange appearance of the other man and asked, as he walked forward.
"It's !!" The two exclaimed in unison.
A girl in a red wedding dress was lying flat on the ground with her eyes closed.
The two doormen looked at the scene in disbelief, they looked at each other, and then, one of the doormen ran into the house, and the other doorman stayed outside the door.
"What a beautiful girl!" The doorman who remained outside the door sighed from the bottom of his heart, but then he wondered if the woman was here.
"Look, sir, it's right outside our door." The doorman said excitedly as he led the group to walk out of the door hurriedly.
The leader of the group is the shogunate's old man Mu Xiangqian, although the curtain Xiangqian has reached the age of the sixtieth year, but it still does not reduce the momentum of the year, the long years of business and hard work, as well as the training of martial arts, make him look completely different from ordinary people, whether it is in age, or in terms of strong body, it is not like the posture of a sixtieth year at all.
Standing behind the curtain on the right is his wife Hua Zhili, who is marrying Ming Media, Hua Zhili's father is a second-class minister of the imperial court and is in an important position; The one on the left is his second concubine, Liu Qianqian, but she is also married by Ming Media.
Behind the two wives and concubines were their children, and then there were the maids and servants in the house.
"Yo, what a delicate little lady!" Liu Qianqian looked at the red medicine that was unconscious on the ground, and the yin and yang strange qidao.
The eldest lady Hua Zhili glanced at Liu Qianqian with disdain, and then looked at the unconscious red medicine and said, "Master, how do you think this is handled?" ”
After thinking for a while, Mu Xiangqian said, "Carry her into the mansion first, and then send her back when she wakes up." ”
"The lord is kind, if someone else encounters this, he will definitely not ask, he was bitten by a dog, whether he is dead or alive, no one will ask, after all, a woman who dares to escape marriage is a cheap life and worthless." Liu Qianqian looked at the unconscious red medicine and spit on her.
Hua Zhili ignored it, nor did she refute Liu Qianqian's viciousness, she said in the style of a big lady: "Then do it according to the master's wishes." ”
After speaking, he was about to call the maid over, but he heard Liu Qianqian say, "Wait." Master, this kind of person should not enter our house, in case someone chews the root of the tongue, we will be laughed at by the world, even if this kind of woman is sent home, the parents will only feel ashamed, and their faces are gloomy, I think, it is better to find a random place and throw her away. ”
"Daddy, my mother is right, just do what my mother says."
The girl who spoke, fifteen years old, was the third daughter of the shogunate and the second child of Liu Qianqian.
"Dad, this is a matter of human life, we must not mess around, although this girl was wrong to escape the marriage first, but now that she is unconscious, we took the opportunity to find a random place to throw her, in case we lose our lives, then we are guilty of murder."
The person who spoke was the shogunate's eldest young master, Muchen, born to the eldest lady.
"It's not a pity for such a woman to die, I think it's better to die, and this can also make up for the sins she created." Liu Qianqian didn't care.
"A femme fatale woman!" Mu Chen stared at Liu Qianqian fearlessly, and said word by word.
"Chen'er, what your second mother said is right, it is this girl who is at fault first, this is a sin she created, and she has to pay it back."
After Liu Qianqian listened, a smug smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Hua Zhili and Muchen demonstratively.
"Dad—" Muchen said anxiously.
"However, you are also reasonable, although the woman will be punished for running away from marriage, it is up to her parents to decide after all, we are outsiders, and we have no right to decide her life and death, but Qianqian's statement is also not considered, if this is really done, the girl will die because of this, and we will become murderers. Let's carry her back to the house first. ”
Liu Qianqian grabbed Mu Xiangqian's arm and wanted to speak, but heard him say in a low and majestic voice: "Don't say these things in front of your children in the future." ”
Mu Chen watched the two subordinates lift the red medicine one after the other, especially when he saw the subordinate behind him holding the white ankles of the red medicine with both hands, he frowned unconsciously.
The moon hung in the air, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and a ray of bright moonlight poured into the dark room through the window, adding a layer of hazy brilliance to it.
Hongyao slowly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed suddenly, she touched her chest with palpitations, suddenly quieted down, and said in despair: "Ah, why is my life so bitter, I was struck by lightning when I first came to the world." ”
After saying that, his head hung down lifelessly like a puppet with a broken string.
After a moment, she lifted her head, her eyes puzzled, and she looked around.
The hazy moonlight veiled everything here, and a voice in her heart told her that it was a strange environment.
It was not the underworld she was familiar with, Hongyao was faintly looking forward to it, but she seemed cautious, she slowly stretched out her right hand, and then pinched her left arm hard.
It hurts!
She grinned in pain, but Hongyao suddenly smiled silently, her smile was like a fully blooming lotus flower, giving people warmth and sweetness, but it made people feel noble and distressed, but she soon wondered again: "Where is this?" How did I end up here? How can it lie in a human home? I'm on my way. ”
Thinking of this, Hongyao's eyes suddenly widened, she thought of a possibility in disbelief, her voice was soft, and she said to herself: "Could it be that I have become a human now?" That's why they rescued me? ”
Her voice grew smaller and smaller, until it was so small that only she could hear it: "I had passed out at that time, and it was impossible for me to be here unconscious, so this is the only way to explain why I was here." ”
Hongyao touched the quilt covering her body, and put a hand into the quilt, and a long-lost warmth quickly surrounded her whole little hand; Hongyao slowly turned her head and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, a star was twinkling, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a smile of relief and yearning for new life was hung.
Like an epiphany blooming in the dark night, it is both precious and rare, and beautiful and suffocating, and at the same time there is a trace of pity and distress.
