What else can hair do?

Xing Ruyi didn't know. In Xing Ruyi's previous concept, hair seemed to have no other use except for being able to make wigs, but there were also rumors that hair could be used to make soy sauce. Whether it's true or not, she hasn't verified, because just thinking about it already makes her feel a little sick to her stomach.

Mo is a Taoist priest, and he is an unfathomable Taoist priest. In Xing Ruyi's impression, he has no special interest in cooking, and he doesn't seem to be short of money, so he definitely disdains to open a black workshop and use his hair to make soy sauce. So, what else can he do with collecting the hair of those dead people?

Xing Ruyi set his eyes on Yun Sheng, and at this time, he was handing a bowl of water to Hui Niang's lips. Because of Hui Niang's previous tugging, most of his wounds have been cracked. The thread of his hair mixed with silk hung from his wounds. Xing Ruyi glanced up at the fox and asked quietly, "Shouldn't you also mix those hairs and silk into threads to sew clothes?" ”

The fox was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "We can't guess what that person is thinking." ”

Xing Ruyi sighed, gave up the idea of continuing to speculate, and looked intently at Yunsheng and Huiniang in front of him, hoping to get more information from the subsequent conversation between the two of them.

"Better?"

Yun Sheng saw that Hui Niang's breathing was slowing down, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.

Hui Niang nodded and handed the water bowl to Yun Sheng.

"I'm fine! At least I won't die until you tell the truth. ”

Yun Sheng's face changed, he took the water bowl, but he didn't get up, just put the bowl on the ground casually.

"Good! I'll tell you the whole truth! Yun Sheng took a step back, slowly tied the loose clothes, raised his head, and looked at Hui Niang usually: "Do you remember that you once rescued a beggar?" ”

"Of course I do! Before I came here tonight, I thought you were the beggar. It was you, ignoring my saving grace that day, who returned to my home, seduced my in-laws, and killed my father-in-law. I didn't think of it...... I didn't expect that there would be two [Yunsheng] in this world! ”

"It is true that the person you rescued that day was not me, but it was me who returned to the Yun family to carry out the revenge plan later. Don't worry, listen to me slowly, and when I'm done telling all the stories, you'll understand. Understand why I have been estranged from you for the past two years, understand why I have wanted to see you but am afraid to see you in the past two years, I want to stay with you for a long time, and I hate you for ruining my life like this. Hui'er, do you know that in the past two years, I have never known what mood to face you. ”

Yun Sheng let out a long sigh.

"All stories start with you saving the beggar......

One day in late spring and early summer, Hui Niang was washing clothes by the river, and when she was halfway through washing, she saw a person floating on the river, and that person happened to run aground on the bank not far from Hui Niang along the current.

Although Hui Niang knew that her husband had always disliked her dealing with the men next to her, her life was at stake, and she had always been kind-hearted. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward to take a look. It was a young man, apparently no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his clothes were in tatters, like a beggar who lived by begging.

The beggar must have been floating on the water for a long time, for his blistered skin was all white, but the poor man's life was so hard that he still had a faint breath of relief. Hui Niang knew that if she didn't come to the rescue, this young beggar might not be able to survive until tomorrow morning, no matter how hard his life was.

Hui Niang's heart was entangled, but in the end she couldn't resist the trace of kindness in her heart, she quietly took the beggar home, hid it in the grass hut, not only helped him buy medicine, but also gave the beggar the already small rations at home to the beggar.

Paper, after all, can't contain the fire. Hui Niang's mother-in-law soon found out that the young beggar who was hidden by Hui Niang refused to give her even a chance to explain, so she beat her up and locked her in the firewood room.

Hearing this, Hui Niang couldn't help but shudder, it seemed that she also remembered the events of that day vividly.

"Yes, there is such a thing. On the same day, she was beaten by her mother-in-law, although Huiniang felt aggrieved, she also knew that it was her fault. Huiniang is a married woman, how can she hide from her in-laws and her father-in-law to leave a young man at home. Moreover, at that time, the year was not good, and the drought had just occurred, and the family had no stock, so Hui Niang actually made her own decisions and distributed the rations to the beggar. Therefore, Hui Niang should also suffer from that beating. ”

Yun Sheng raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Hui Niang's face: "You're right, it's just that human nature is selfish, and you can't tolerate others to give kindness." ”

On that day, Hui Niang was locked in the firewood room, regardless of the pain all over her body, crawled to the door, and wanted to explain to her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law was very angry, and said to Hui Niang, she not only wanted to send Hui Niang and the beggar to the yamen for trial, but also to write a letter of resignation to Hui Niang in person. The reason is that Hui Niang does not abide by women's morals and communicates with others.

That whole night, Huiniang didn't close her eyes, regretting saving the beggar in her heart, but also suffering from not knowing how to explain to Xianggong. But after waiting for two days, it was Xianggong who opened the lock for Huiniang and took care of him, but he didn't say a word about the beggar. ”

"It's not that they didn't mention it, but that I agreed to their conditions and was willing to be a tool for them to make a fortune." Yun Sheng smiled bitterly: "I went to the firewood room that day, I was the one who opened the lock for you, and I was the one who took care of you carefully in front of your bed, but when you got better, the one who went to please, to reciprocate, and to pay for tenderness became him." Hui'er, I'm just an ordinary man, watching you like this every day, I will also have resentment and hatred in my heart, I can't think of it, I am clearly so different from him, why can't you tell the difference, the one who is good for you and the one who is not good for you are two people. ”

"It's Hui Niang who is stupid!"

Hui Niang lowered her head, and tears fell.

"Do you know what I promised them in order to prevent them from being a scoundrel and communicating with that beggar, in order to prevent them from sending you to the Yamen for trial, and in order to rescue you from that firewood house?"

Hui Niang guessed something, but looking at those eyes, she couldn't speak. She just looked at him like that, listening to him talk about the events of the year in an almost calm tone.

"I promised them that I would help them survive the famine and that they would have no worries about food and clothing. But Hui'er, what ability did I have to do that at that time? I shut myself in a dark, lightless room, like a mouse hiding in the dark, desperately trying to figure out how I was going to get out of that room. Not only am I going to escape, but I'm going to find a way to get you out of another dark place.

In the corner where the sun can't shine, the glimmer of light in my heart gradually goes out, and along with it my last good thoughts. When I finally thought of that solution, I knew that in this life, I could only be a shadow of that person. In this world, there is really no such person as Yunsheng. ”

"What did you do?"

"Kill that beggar!" Yun Sheng showed a smile, the smile was very faint, but in the light, there was a hint of gloom, a trace of sadness and a hint of ruthlessness: "You didn't think of it, did you?" The beggar you rescued ended up being killed because of you.

I still remember that night, the moonlight was very bright, and it shone quietly on the grass hut. I walked into the hut, and when he opened his eyes, and when he saw me, he was eager to sit up.

He was a mute. In the moonlight, he pointed in the direction of the firewood house. I know that he also misunderstood, misunderstood that I was your father-in-law, so he was eager to help you explain and prove it for you.

But Hui'er, a mute who can't speak, once he goes to court, what can he prove for you?

He can't, so he can't live.

I looked him in the eye and put my hand on his neck, he was defenseless. Perhaps, he didn't expect that I would even think of killing him. I felt the softness of his neck, the power of my fingers, and I grabbed his neck so hard that he began to struggle, whining in his throat.

You know Hui'er, at that moment, I thought that sound was so good. Because I used to make that sound, so helpless, so pleading, and at the same time with a voice of infinite despair. The difference is that I survived, but he died. Died in the bright moonlight, in the grass blown by the night wind.

I looked at his body for a long, long time, until my father and mother came out of the room. They looked at me with no surprise in their eyes, as if they had already wanted to do that.

I got up, stripped the beggar of his clothes, set it on fire, and then pointed to the beggar and said to them, "He is still young, and though he is a beggar, he is delicate." If you are really hungry, cut off his flesh and eat it.

As much as they wanted to eat meat, they didn't dare, at least at the time, but what they did was more frightening than eating human flesh themselves. They took advantage of the night to remove the beggar's meat little by little, and then wrapped it into buns before dawn, and then took it to the Yunjiaji to sell. With only half a pillar of incense, he earned back a lot of silver. For the sake of the silver, they agreed to let you out of the woodhouse. ”

Hui Niang only felt a tumbling in her throat and spit it out.

Xing Ruyi originally just listened to what Yun Sheng said as a story, but seeing Hui Niang's appearance, her stomach also became uncomfortable, and she stroked her chest several times before suppressing the nausea.

She asked the fox, "What Yun Sheng said, are they all true?" ”

The fox shook his head: "Cannibalism is not uncommon in your mortal world. ”

For the fox's indifference, Xing Ruyi couldn't refute it, because she had indeed heard of similar incidents.
