Chapter II
I heard Bai Zheng outside say, "Young Master, we're home." The lord is here. ”
I looked up at Pingsheng, and I saw a glimmer of joy in his eyes, and he gasped and coughed and said, "Okay, I'll come down now." ”
Pingsheng put me in the carriage, touched my head and whispered, "Good Susu, Dad doesn't like foxes, I'll take you home later, don't run around." ”
I heard an old voice whispering, "Ping'er, Dad has come to see you." Ever since you contracted tuberculosis, Daddy and you haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Then there was a coughing sound, and I lifted the curtain of the carriage a little, and my heart tightened when I saw him coughing.
Pingsheng's father, who looked at him vomiting blood, patted him on the back and said softly, "Ping'er, don't blame your second mother for driving you out, she is just afraid that her father will also be infected with tuberculosis, and my father not only has you, but also a family." ”
I looked at Pingsheng, my eyes dimmed, and I said in a weak voice, "Dad, you can go back and tell Erniang that I don't have long to live, and I can't quarrel with you for me." ”
Tuberculosis, I don't know what it is, judging from the tone of his life, I'm afraid it can't be cured.
After a while, Pingsheng picked me out of the carriage, and I watched the carriage go away with him, and my heart was indeed sour, probably because of Pingsheng.
The house is not big, except for Bai Zheng, there are only two little maids. Pingsheng told me that one is called Ling'er and the other is called Xiaobao. Ling'er is responsible for cleaning such delicate work, and Xiaobao is responsible for cooking.
Pingsheng handed me over to Ling'er and Xiaobao, and said with a smile, "Ling'er Xiaobao, this is the little fox I bought back today, I named her Susu, and remember to bathe her every day in the future." ”
Ling'er tied two balls on her head and called me "Susu!" I turned to look at her. The small bandage has a very high ball head, and it also calls me "Susu". ”
They kept calling me, probably because they called me too, so I looked back and saw that they were fun, and the two of them kept calling me, and I didn't want to pay attention to them, so I just ignored anyone.
Xiaobao also smiled and said, "Ling'er, look, she still has a temper." ”
I took the opportunity to shake the water and wet their clothes, Ling'er pinched my head and looked her in the eyes, saying that I was "a bad-eyed little fellow." After speaking, Ling'er laughed again.
When I was done bathing, they dried me off. Ling'er and Xiaobao were washed very carefully, and this body was indeed much cleaner than I licked myself.
Ling'er picked me up, put me in the sun, touched my head and said, "Susu, you can dry here for a while, otherwise your hair will be wet and you will cough, and you will be the same as the young master." ”
Xiaobao also touched my ears, pinched my meat pad, and said, "But the hair on my body is dry, so I can go to the young master." The young master is over there, you have to be obedient. ”
I looked in the direction of Xiaobao's finger, circled around Xiaobao, and told Xiaobao that I knew. Xiaobao and Ling'er touched my head again, and went to be their own.
I lay alone in the sun, the warm sun shone down, a long-lost feeling of relief.
I was lying on my stomach in the sun, but I smelled an extremely bad smell. I ran after the smell, but I chased it to the kitchen and saw a stove on the small stove in the kitchen, and the smell was coming from the stove.
Seeing me running in, Ling'er was startled and hurriedly kicked me out, "Su Su, I'm decocting medicine for the young master, can't you come in, can you go out and play for a while first?" Susu must be obedient. ”
Ling'er decocted the medicine to Pingsheng again, and then Pingsheng will get better after taking the medicine! Thinking of this, my heart jumped again.
The door to Pingsheng's room was open, and he was looking at things when I walked in.
I was already very light-footed, but I heard my footsteps, turned his head to look at me and said, "Su Su is here, I heard your footsteps." Come to me. ”
I ran in and jumped on his lap. Pingsheng coughed again, I looked up at him, but he smiled very calmly and said, "Does Su Su like to listen to stories?" Shall I tell you a story? ”
Although he was asking me if I wanted to listen to the story, his hands caressed my back and stroked my hair. I heard him say, "Shall I tell you the story of the fox demon Daji?" ”
I heard Pingsheng say that Daji is a fox demon and a demon concubine, and she is also an affectionate woman, a white fox. It was love at first sight with the king of the ring, but this person's lifespan is only a few decades, where can he wait for the white fox to transform?
She tasted all the herbs similar to the Shapeshifting Grass, and finally found the Shapeshifting Grass and turned into a human form to enter the palace to accompany the King of the Ring.
Daji and King Su fell in love, even if the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty said that Daji was a fox demon and a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people, King Su still fell in love with Daji.
It's a pity that later, when the soldiers came to the city, people demanded to kill Daji, as long as the king killed Daji before he could have the country again. But in the end, Daji died with the king.
I listened to Pingsheng coughing, Pingsheng took a sip of water to moisten his throat, hugged me with a smile, and asked me, "Daji is very pitiful, isn't he?" ”
I stared into his eyes and nodded. Pingsheng hugged me and said, "I also feel sorry for Daji, after all, she never thought she would fall in love with someone." ”
When Pingsheng was about to say something, the unpleasant smell of medicine wafted in. I jumped down from the arms of my life, and Ling'er came in with a bowl of medicine and said, "Young master, the medicine is ready." ”
Pingsheng raised his head and said calmly, "Ling'er, do you think it's really useful for me to drink medicine?" ”
As soon as Ling'er heard this, her eyes turned red, and she cried and said, "Young master, don't say that, one day you really leave, what do you let us do?" We grew up with you when we were young, and when Madame is gone, are you going to leave too? You can drink a little more, even if it can't be cured to make you more comfortable. ”
As soon as Ling'er's words came out, tears couldn't stop flowing, "I'm not married yet, the young master used to say that he would give me and Xiaobao a large dowry, and he would also give Bai Zhengxu a beautiful daughter-in-law, don't talk nonsense." ”
Pingsheng sighed and said, "Give it to me, Ling'er don't cry." ”
Ling'er wiped her tears and put the medicine on the table. Ling'er was still muttering, "Young master, don't say these unlucky words in the future, you will get better, and Madame will bless you." ”
Ling'er watched Pingsheng drink all the medicine, lowered his head and wiped his tears, and then took the bowl and took it out, and muttered before leaving, "Young master, don't talk nonsense in the future, you haven't married a wife and have children, I'm still waiting to name the young master's doll." ”
Before Ling'er left, I clearly heard Ling'er say softly, "So young master, you must not die." ”
Pingsheng sighed. I don't know if he heard Ling'er's soft words before leaving, but if he didn't hear it, he probably understood Ling'er's painstaking intentions.
I can't do anything, the only thing I can do is to be by my side at this time, so that he feels that he is not alone.
I nestled next to Pingsheng, who held a book in one hand, and I lay on his lap, his other big hand gently patting my back.
What a feeling it is, peace of mind mixed with warmth.
Pingsheng's cold big hand gently patted my back, and I nestled on his lap, listening to him occasionally muttering the words in the book that I didn't understand, and only occasionally hearing Pingsheng's subtle coughing sound was particularly sad.
I'm a very good person, that's what I think. If you can buy me back from that bad hunter and take care of me, then I must not be a bad person in my life.
I am a fox and an animal. Pingsheng has a reassuring smell, he must be a good person.
