Chapter 4: Fate
I pleaded coquettishly, Kong Ming touched my head dotingly, and then took out a mirror from his arms, took a knife and picked out a small wound on my fingertips, a drop of blood fell on the back of the mirror, he quickly wiped it on my hand, and the blood stopped flowing inexplicably.
"Thinking about your second brother in my heart!"
I silently recited the name of the second brother, and the figure of the second brother was shown on the mirror, and he ran away with me and went straight to the back door of Shangshu Mansion, and the little guy who opened the door heard that he was looking for Yanhong, and laughed obscenely: "That stinky bitch has died a long time ago, you go to the mass grave to look for it, maybe it hasn't rotted yet, and you can have fun again!" ”
The second brother was already very anxious at this time, and he couldn't help but be angry when he heard such dirty words again! smashed it with his fist, and the noise alarmed the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion, and led a group of family members to press the second brother to the ground and beat him violently, I don't know who said a word to save his life, this is the second son of Liufu.
After a while, I saw the second brother get up, snatch a horse in the street and go out of the city, and in that direction was the mass grave.
Kong Ming took me by the waist and took me up and down on the roof, chasing me all the way, the clothes and belts rubbed against me, and the cold sandalwood made me feel at ease.
Even if I know that my second brother may be beaten to death after I go back, and I may be imprisoned in the dark ancestral hall, my father will be suppressed by his political opponent, Yan Shaoshi, the military department, or I am relieved.
This feeling is sweet and scares me, I want it and I am afraid to get it, I attribute this to the fact that the toxin has not yet been fully solved, otherwise why don't I feel this way when I am close to other people of the opposite sex!
He held me in his arms like this, listening to the wind whistling in his ears, a lonely moon hung in the sky and spit cold light, leaned his head slightly into his arms, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"What?"
"My name is Liu Mingzhu, what is your name?"
"Zhao Li"
"Oh ......! Yes? Zhao ...... Zhao Li? ”
"Hmm!"
That dream turned out to be real, I was in the place of the dream, and I met the person in the dream! Zhao Li! It's been fifteen years, and you look like this!
The dark night is like a big net, the net binds everyone in their sleep, all the potential desires are realized one by one in the dream, and people are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves.
There are also those who have not slept, they may be drunk and dreaming in the tavern, or they may be singing and dancing in the green building, and of course, there is one who is in a hurry like us.
The second brother's horse was shrouded in darkness, but fortunately he was wearing a light-colored dress today, and from a distance he could only see a small white dot moving one by one.
Kong Ming took me to chase after me quickly, and I must rush back to the Prime Minister's Mansion before dawn, otherwise the Mansion will be in chaos.
On the mass graves, there are protruding hills all over the place, there are no tombstones, there are no inscriptions, and some mounds have been hit by rats with holes of different sizes.
The second brother went crazy and dug graves, and his eyes were red, like a wounded beast
If you ask what kind of person Liu Mubai is? Everyone, including me, will surely answer: "Swingers!" "After the second brother failed in the imperial examination, he was ordered by his father not to join the army, so he mixed in fireworks and willow alleys all day long, walking horses and fighting cocks, isn't he a swinger! But I don't want such a swinger to have such an infatuated side.
I couldn't persuade him, so we had to follow him.
I'm a little scared, I always feel that there are some shadows floating around me in the dark, but I can't see it really, my body naturally leans towards Kong Ming, Kong Ming is a person who is moody, tonight in this horrific mass grave but unprecedentedly showed a satisfied expression, which made me extremely surprised, a monk, he is satisfied with the mass grave?
There may be countless pairs of eyes looking at us in the dark, and if there are ghosts in the world, those ghosts must think that these people have a nervous disorder, a monk, a princess, a prince in fancy clothes, who gather in the middle of the night to dig graves in mass graves, and dig graves without any purpose, they may think that we have a special hobby.
It's not a way to look for it like this, the wind blows, and there is a whimper caught in the wind, very light and light, like the obsession of a female ghost.
"Listen!"
"Nothing!" I'm sure of it.
Kong Ming reluctantly took my hand, in fact, I didn't hear it, I was afraid.
Bring your body as close to him as possible, the scent of old sandalwood on this man's body can make me feel at ease, and listen carefully, the whimper just now turned into a faint moan, a woman wearing a pink Xiangqun is not far away, I beckoned the second brother to go over and have a look.
The woman on the ground was covered in blood, and only a pair of slender eyebrows could be seen, and the second brother rushed over and hugged her in his arms.
"Yanhong, I'm late!"
Maybe the second brother is really late, looking at this smoky appearance, I'm afraid he won't be able to save it.
At this time, most of the night has passed, and we must hurry back, and the girl needs to see the doctor, but the doctor in the city is probably asleep at this time.
I had to take her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and ask the mother-in-law who is good at medicine to watch it first, and then think of a way when it is dawn, we forgot that there is a monk with excellent medical skills next to us.
"Put people down and show me!"
Kongming's voice was unmistakable.
The smoky girl was seriously injured and thrown in a mass grave by the subordinates of Shangshu Mansion, and her waist was basically broken.
After briefly checking the injury, Kong Ming said, "She's still alive!"
"Great, second brother, Sister Yanhong can live!"
"You believe him so much?" The second brother said hopefully and doubtfully.
He forgot, forgot that Kong Ming was a person who had experienced the eighty precepts! I believe him, even if his master is not a miracle doctor, even if he didn't cure me from being bitten by a snake, I believe him, it's so inexplicable.
Kong Ming gave Yanhong a simple treatment of the injury, and the second brother took her on a horse and rode to Xiangfu, I still had to rely on Kong Ming to take me back, Xiangfu was in sight, he put me not far from home and let me go back by myself.
He stood at the corner of the street and looked at me, and he had a very strange feeling in his heart, like reluctance, but I felt that I had no reason to be reluctant to him, and I turned around three times, and I ran back to him.
"Is there anything else you haven't given me?"
"What's that?"
"Sister Yanhong's injury is not healed, are you going to give me a bottle of medicine or something?"
"Oh! It's for your second brother! ”
For the second brother? How could he give it to the second brother! I wondered if I could find some reason to ask him what he wanted again, and this parting might be forever.
"My stomach was cold just now, can you give me another bottle of medicine?"
He smiled helplessly, took out the mirror from earlier, and handed it to me.
"This is a fragment of the Kunlun mirror, Penglai treasure, everything can be applied, it can be determined, this thing is too domineering, you have to be cautious! Don't let others know that you have this thing, otherwise you will be ruined and the world will be in chaos! ”
I put the mirror away, thinking about what to give him a gift in return, there are some sachets and other gadgets on my body, but the incense in the world, where can it smell better than the sandalwood on his body.
I tore off the jade crown that tied my hair on my head and put it in his hand and said, "I have nothing to give you, only this, you have to think of me in the future and remember me!" After speaking, he ran to the prime minister's house with a red face.
If there is an act in the world called confession, does the one I just have count? If there is a thing in the world called first love, do I count it as him? But none of this is possible, whether it is because I am a girlish feeling, or because he is the first man I come into contact with other than my brothers at home, or because our skin is together under the influence of snake venom that night, he and I will be two farther and farther roads, north and south do not overlap.
When I returned home, I saw that the house was in a mess, the second brother went back to the house one step ahead of me, the smoky girl was taken to the unknown, the bright candle illuminated the hall like daylight, my father and mother sat on the top, the second brother knelt below, I walked over and knelt together with the second brother, my father snorted coldly, and my mother's crying eyes were full of worry.
"The second brother was dragged out by me, daddy, if you want to beat me, beat me!"
"Zhu'er is not sensible, I took her to the Red Mansion, please punish her father."
This is a tacit understanding between me and my second brother for many years, the second brother's aunt died of dystocia when he gave birth to him, the second brother was raised in the mother's room since he was a child, and his mother treated him well, the second brother was naughty, and he often took me to climb the acacia tree in the mother's yard in the summer to catch it, and his father would punish us when he came back at night, every time we were like this, I was a daughter, and my father couldn't bear to be harsh, so he scolded the second brother and let it go.
I gave my second brother a few looks, but he didn't look at me, and if he admitted that he took me to the Qinglou, my father was not allowed to break his legs.
I was taken out by my grandmother, Hongxiu and Cuishang and a group of small servants all knelt in the yard, the law is not responsible, Daddy shouldn't beat them all to death, right?
On the fifth day of my detention in the ancestral hall, my second brother limped to see me, when my map of thousands of miles was about to end, he put a food box on the table, and the snacks in it were sweet but not greasy, which was a style I had never seen.
"This is what your second sister-in-law made for you."
"Second sister-in-law? Smoky Girl? ”
I heard the second brother say that he was beaten by the family law for 20 boards that night, and my father personally punished him, and my two maids and a group of small servants were beaten with ten boards respectively, and my mother fined them three months of silver per month.
"Second brother, why did you take the initiative to admit it that night?"
The second brother smiled, touching my hair, which was still combed into a bun, with perseverance and maturity in his eyes.
"Sister Zhu'er has grown up, and my second brother has also grown up, so I can't always let my sister protect me."
The second brother continued: "I will take a concubine in a few days, and I will take your second sister-in-law to Jingzhou after you are married, and my brother will not be by your side in the future, so take care of yourself!" ”
"A concubine? Second sister-in-law, she ......! ”
The second brother said that his father didn't know where to get Yanhong's deed of sale, and he also agreed to the second brother to let her enter the door, but instead of marrying a wife, but taking a concubine, if the second brother insisted on marrying Mingmei, Daddy had a way to torture Yanhong.
I know that my father is powerful, I can be a member of the imperial court, how can I be a soft-hearted person, I will succeed and my bones will wither, my father's current status, his hands have naturally been stained with a lot of blood, and he is a woman in a green building, how can the means and scheming be better than the willow phase above ten thousand people under one person!
Fortunately there is true love in the world, Yanhong can meet the second brother, once protected her in the land of fireworks, and now snatches back her life in the hands of the Lord of Yama, the world is sad and true, Yanhong met the second brother, and since then he can only tolerate him, if she is an ordinary woman, it will be okay, but she is in the dust, and the true love is the poison that kills!
