He took a breath, puffed up his chest, and quietly strode inside, but before he could take a few steps, he heard a whisper behind him.

"The people who carry water are all eunuchs, but they still see a woman once, a bucket of water? I'm afraid I can't lift half a bucket. ”

"I heard that it was sent by Zhaoyi Niangniang."

"Sent to do the handyman who carried water? It's interesting......

"It looks like the waist is a little thin...... The ass is also small, and this ......"

Quietly pursed her mouth, endured and endured, when she heard the word "ass", she really couldn't listen to it anymore, she turned around suddenly, her eyes widened, and several little eunuchs couldn't dodge, and they all laughed at her.

"Stare at me like this, be careful of bad luck." Quietly smiling, several eunuchs suddenly froze in a lost soul, unable to say a word.

Quietly and arrogantly took his gaze, turned around, and continued to walk inside, secretly saying in his heart, if they knew that she was a disaster star and would bring bad luck to others, it was estimated that they would have retreated at this time.

The place where the palace maid rests in the dining room is a large open room, a big kang, more than 20 people, people next to each other, but they are not afraid of the cold.

Quietly I really didn't sleep well this night, it was better to wander around in the carriage, first, it was scraped in the middle of the night, it was a little cold, and secondly, I don't know which palace maid gritted her teeth and farted, and she didn't see it at dawn.

Before dawn, I had to get up, change my dress, and put on the gray cloth clothes of the handyman, which was much lighter except that he looked like a tomboy.

In the imperial dining room, the clothes are divided into grades, a total of ten grades, the clothes of the miscellaneous servants are the eleventh level, the eleventh level is no level, what carries water, cleaning, this is all miscellaneous servants.

From the kitchen to the senior imperial chef, this level, the clothes can be seen to be very different, the people in the outer imperial dining room are lower than the people in the inner imperial dining room with the same title, they are all lowered by two poles, after all, the inner imperial dining room is to serve the emperor's ladies, and the outer imperial dining room is for the minister and the external dining room, and the grades are different.

A big kang was crowded with people last night, and it was still dark, so there was no one left, quietly pulled the placket closer, pushed open the door, and in an instant, a cold wind mixed with flying snow rushed to her face, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Springs gush out

In the palace, if you can't be a master, you have to suffer this sin that is not human. Love to see the flowers

"Ahh

When he quietly sneezed and lowered his head, there was already a pair of wooden barrels under his feet.

"The water in the palace has to be picked up at Yuquan Mountain, and it is not far from here to Yuquan Mountain, and it is only five or six miles away, so don't delay on the road."

Xiao Li's father-in-law's voice rang out, he was wearing an eighth-level cyan steward uniform, and a dogskin jacket, and he looked quietly with a pair of eyebrows.

Quietly staring at the barrel under his feet, if this guy didn't mean it, he had amnesia, didn't he say that he was carrying a bucket yesterday? How did you get a sleep and become two? Do you want to go so far to Yuquan Mountain to carry water?

When the quiet gaze was raised, I was about to ask a rhetorical question, but I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a person, she was standing behind Xiao Li's father-in-law, dressed in a cyan palace dress, looking here, isn't this the woman who stood in the corridor yesterday? When she wanted to take a closer look, she turned around, pushed open a door, and entered.

Who the hell is she? What are you doing all the time with such sneaky staring at yourself? Quietly wondering in his heart, the voice of Xiao Li's father-in-law in his ears rang again.

"Li Chunxiang, it's all my family, don't say I didn't remind you, work more, talk less, a master who has fallen out of favor, it's difficult to protect himself, how can he take care of you? Keep your eyes open and see clearly under your feet, where is the pothole, where is the road, but you have to be careful not to make a mistake. ”

Xiao Li's father-in-law smiled coldly, turned around and paced away, which made people feel extra cold than this day.

With your eyes wide open, you can see clearly under your feet, where is the pothole, where is the road?

This is indeed the case, even if the aromatherapy oil essence is proven to have a problem, Zhaoyi Niangniang may not be able to be favored, let alone think of a quack doctor named Xiao Qiao, how much can Ye Yunfang help her? Everything is on your own.

Taking a deep breath, he quietly followed the example of the other eunuchs, carried two wooden barrels, took a step, followed a team of water-carrying eunuchs, walked out of the west gate of the palace, and set off towards Yuquan Mountain.

Out of the palace gate, the wind is even greater, mixed with snow foam to hit people's faces painfully, when you are about to reach Yuquan Mountain, the wind is small, but the road is covered with snow and freezing, slippery, it is difficult to walk, let alone carry the water away.

The spring water of Yuquan Mountain gushes from the stone gap in the mountain, and the water rolls up the silver flowers, and at the foot of the mountain, you can see the spring water flowing like a jade rainbow.

In order to ensure the quality of the water, all the handymen who carry water have to go to the mountainside to carry water and climb the 100-step steps, which become difficult to climb after the snow.

When they quietly climbed halfway up the mountain, the eunuch who carried the water in advance had already started to carry water and began to descend the mountain, and when they passed by Quietly, they all glanced at their eyes and smiled, although they didn't say anything, they quietly knew that they were watching her jokes.

"It's not a man, look at a woman!"

Quietly and secretly cursed, and after scolding, I realized that they were indeed not men, how could they pity her, a weak little woman?

Follow the path, to the mouth of the spring, the spring water gushes, rising a cool air, the mountain stone is washed all the year round, the middle is concave, forming a huge bowl mouth, the spring water at the mouth of the bowl is really clear, you can see the bottom at a glance.

Quietly put down the bucket, couldn't help but reach out and hold the water, before she could drink it, the hands in her palms were about to freeze, she was so cold that she hurriedly shook her hands, and covered them in her arms for a while before daring to take them out.

"It's cold."

Quietly jumped to look around, there were pines and cypresses everywhere, snow pressed the branches, and the steps extended down, as if embedded in a vast expanse, and occasionally you could hear the cry of wild beasts, there would be no wolves, right?

A ray of light between heaven and earth

Quietly did not dare to slack off, hurriedly put down the wooden barrel, filled it with spring water, and when it was brought up, I realized how heavy the two buckets of water were, and I understood better what it was difficult to do. Love to see the flowers

After several attempts, the barrel could not be lifted, and the water could only be poured out quietly, and when it was lifted again, although the barrel was off the ground, it could walk a few steps, and it seemed to have a boulder pressed on its legs, and it was dragged with difficulty.

Finally walked down the steps, as if his arms were broken, put down the barrel, and quietly squatted on the ground wheezing, sweat running down his cheeks.

No, when will I be able to go back to the Imperial Dining Room like this? There's another trip to the water.

"You must persevere, and you can't let people look down on you."

Quietly clenched his little fists, mustered up all his strength, lifted the barrel, and walked down the steps step by step.

The eunuch who carried the water in front had already gone down the mountain, and the spring water splashed out of the bucket was sprinkled on the steps and frozen, and it was already difficult to walk, but now it was even more difficult to get off the feet.

The left hand gradually lost its strength, and quietly had to lower his waist and put down the barrel, who knew that the barrel was not stable, and tilted down, and quietly saw this scene, exclaimed, and finally proposed that it was so far away, it was already a dissatisfied bucket, and it was categorically impossible to sprinkle it again.

"Don't, don't ......"

She quietly leaned over to help, but her feet slipped, and she stumbled out, not only did she not save the barrel, but even she got into it, and she slid down the steps with her head down.

"Help, help......"

Quietly shaking his arms and lifting his chin, he felt like a plow he played on a snowy slope when he was a child, rushing down the mountain.

Her eyes were sliding faster and faster, and she screamed in horror, her chest was torn, her elbows were bruised, and her body was covered in ice and snow.

"Mother, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

Quietly I'm really scared, where can I still take care of the pain, and my hands are desperately grabbing, even if I touch a stone, a stake.

It's a pity that you can't catch anything except the ice and snow on your hands and the biting cold, is God just arranging for Miss Chu Si's soul to return to Kyoto?

She really didn't want to die, not only for her uncle's grievances, but also for her mother, who was waiting in that cottage, to return to the Chu family one day with her eyebrows raised.

Just when she was quietly desperate, her arm seemed to touch something, it was completely instinctive, she grabbed it, hugged her arm directly, hugged it tightly, and the downward trend of her body suddenly stopped.

Saved?

Quietly stared at her eyes, and it took a long time to react, she had stopped, and was suddenly full of surprise, thank God, the disaster star is the disaster star, whoever dies, she will not die, in this case, she actually hugged a wooden stake, but this wooden stake feels a little strange......

Quietly and slowly turned his eyes to look over, and found that he was holding a stake in his arms, but a thigh.

In the line of sight, a brocade blue robe, the corners of the robe were slightly lifted in the wind, revealing the silver-gray middle pants inside, a pair of black and brown kudzu boots, looking at the size of these feet, it should be a man.

Quietly trembling, his gaze moved upward, and he came into contact with a pair of eyes that were like a shock, he was looking down at her, his eyes were deep, and the snowflakes floated up at some point, floating from the man's sideburns, as if there was life, caring, shining and jumping on the corners of his eyebrows and lips. Quietly stunned, he seemed to be the most dazzling light in heaven and earth.

The only heat source

A large hand reached out above her head. Love to see the flowers

"Are you alright?"

His voice was soft, deep, slightly hoarse, and sounded a little ...... Just as she was quietly pondering the particularity of this sound, suddenly a cold wind swished, and the dust and snow flew, filling her ear, and she sneezed several times in a row.

"No, it's okay......"

Quietly shook his head vigorously, and even his neck made a grinding sound, and it seemed that the fall was not light.

She said that it was okay, but she knew in her heart that she was lucky if she didn't fall to death, the bones in her body seemed to be broken, her legs were so numb that she couldn't perceive that it was part of her body, and her two arms didn't know if they were frozen, maintaining a tight holding posture, she had already lost a little strength, she wanted to get up, but she was afraid that as soon as she let go, she would fall directly down the mountain.

It seems that Quietly does need to rely on his power.

Awkwardly stretched out her hand, quietly put her hand in his palm, and shook her big hand hard, and the warmth was transmitted instantly, becoming the only source of heat in the overwhelming cold, making her cold body seem to be close to the scorching furnace all of a sudden.

The man pulled her up and let go of his hand, and the heat went with it.

"Thank you."

Stabilized his body, quietly still frightened, his face was white, and he gasped and said thank you.

"You...... Carrying water too? He didn't walk away immediately, but asked suddenly, his gaze falling on her thin arm.

"Yes, yes......"

Whispered answer.

In all dynasties, those who went to Yuquan Mountain to carry water were all strong young eunuchs, and quietly they were the only women who carried water, and when the disaster star could not meet the unlucky person, they could only be unlucky.

Seeing that the man didn't speak for a long time, and didn't walk away, he quietly raised his eyes slowly, and found that the man's handsome and deep eyes were looking at her, with puzzled thinking, which made the quietly pale face a little red.

The man in front of him was very tall, with upright facial features, handsome, quite generous, and a half-cut cotton jacket over his brocade blue robe, which looked very warm.

was originally very delicate, and with thin clothes, standing in front of this man, he looked even more weak and pitiful.

"Put this on, your clothes are torn."

The man retracted his gaze in embarrassment, took off the padded jacket on his body, and handed it to Quiet.

Quietly stunned, only then did she notice that the fall just now was really embarrassing, not only did her placket be torn, but also exposed the dirty clothes inside, two elbows oozed blood, and when she moved slightly, it was painful, and the pants on her knees were torn, revealing the red flesh.

How could a girl expose her underwear in front of outsiders, and quietly grabbed the placket of her clothes, but she had nothing to cover, and she had to turn her body sideways, eager to find a hole to get into.

The man didn't say anything more, just glanced at her, put the padded jacket on her shoulder, and then resolutely turned around and strode towards the mountain, a touch of brocade blue quickly disappeared from the quiet sight.

Strange, in such weather, what is he doing on Yuquan Mountain? Aren't you afraid that you will slide down and fall as badly as yourself?

"Phew, do you think anyone is as stupid as Miss Chu Si."

muttered quietly, her eyes fell on the padded jacket, and another gust of cold wind hit, she quickly put the padded jacket on her body, speaking of which, this padded jacket is really warm, wearing it on the body, the cold wind can't blow through, and it can also temporarily help her cover her shame.

After putting on the padded jacket, I quietly remembered that I only knew that I was scared just now, and I didn't ask the man's name, how will this clothes be returned to others in the future.

"Hey, hey, you're ......"

After feeding twice, he quietly deflated, and in addition to the towering snow-covered steps, there was still the shadow of the man in front of him.

The padded jacket on the body

Hey, for nothing, I owe someone another piece of clothing. Love to see the flowers

Sighed quietly, and stopped calling the man who was far away, even if he heard it, he might not be willing to tell her the name, a piece of clothing, for that person, may not be nothing.

After checking the wounds on his elbow and knee, they were only abrasions, and nothing serious, so he hurriedly searched for the barrel that had rolled down, and searched for the foot of the mountain, and found one, and a big hole was broken at the bottom, and not a drop of water was gone.

It's really bad, if you go back like this, Xiao Li's father-in-law's face will be even more cloudy than this day.
