Chapter 19 Who is the end of the world, who is for whom
The carriage and horses traveled for two days and one night, and it was the evening of the second day when they arrived at Yuecheng. Yuecheng was brightly lit, and the swaying lights on the street shone directly on Lin Xi's face through the carriage window.
When she opened her eyes, she felt so tired that her stomach was hungry as if she hadn't eaten in days. He rubbed himself up, and when he heard the sound of people outside, he asked the owner of the carriage leaning on the carriage.
"We're already there?"
There was some surprise in her tone, but she had already arrived in Yuecheng in just one day. The distance between the two cities was so close, why had she never heard anyone come to Yuecheng when she was in Holland. From this point of view, I am afraid that Yuecheng is a smaller place than Hecheng, and it is still far away from Yingcheng.
When the woman saw that she was awake, she made a very happy appearance. I just thought it had been a day, and I didn't explain it to her. Just grab a glass of water from the low table and hand it to her.
"We've already passed the city gates, and we're almost there."
Lin Xi took the water cup and secretly sighed that this trip was so smooth. It seems that God approves of her when she leaves Hecheng to find her brother. I was so lucky to meet a noble person and carried myself all the way. It's just that this hour is not good, and if you want to find a carriage and horse to go to Yingcheng again, I'm afraid you can only wait for dawn.
Seeing that she was holding the cup in her hand and not drinking, she seemed to be thinking about something in a daze. The woman asked again
"Miss Lin Xi, but your leg hurts again?"
The woman's questioning woke her up at once. Then I remembered that I still had a broken leg that had not yet been healed. It's just strange to say, I don't know if her leg is really badly injured, or because she was frozen when she was on the official road. When she first got into the carriage, it was still in terrible pain, and she almost gritted her teeth to endure it.
But as soon as he got into the carriage, he only slept for a while, and it was as if he had lost consciousness, and he felt no pain at all. If it weren't for the fact that it was still dragging on the mattress like a noodle. She almost felt that the encounter with Qian Hai was her hallucination.
So much so that she woke up and completely forgot about her injured leg. I'm afraid that this woman can't react when she asks.
Lin Xi had to sigh, although this woman was a little dissolute in her clothes. But being kind not only allowed her to take a ride, but also cared about her pain at all times.
She drank the water the woman handed her before speaking
"When I got into Miss's carriage, I didn't feel any pain in my leg. It can be seen that it is my luck to meet such a kind person as Miss. ”
The woman was also stunned when she heard that she was so grateful to herself. Hearing her sincere thanks, there was no joy between her eyebrows, but it seemed to add some melancholy. It's a bit counterintuitive.
Seeing her like this, Lin Xi didn't think about it deeply. It's just that everyone is in a different mood, and the driver of this carriage can't listen to praise. But she thought about it for a moment and asked
"I walked all the way, and I didn't ask the name of the young lady."
She was so anxious when she got in the car that she got into the car and fell asleep again. Therefore, I have never asked the name of the owner of the horse. I don't know who the benefactor's name is, it's really a big faux pas and ungrateful.
The woman hesitated to answer when she asked for her name
"It's too much. If you look at me and kiss me, call me a butterfly. ”
As her name suggests, this woman is indeed like a butterfly. The fragrance is excellent and fragrant, so that people can feel it as soon as they get close to her, like butterflies flying beside them. She is really a very seductive woman.
Lin Xi silently wrote down the name of his benefactor, thinking that one day he and his brother would wash away the grievances of the Fang family. I will definitely return to Yuecheng to find this butterfly girl and repay her for saving her life.
She wanted to talk to Die'er more, but the girl looked the same as when she first got into the car. Just leaning against the wall of the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the carriage, not talking to her.
And so it went on for a while, and the carriage came to a halt. The coachman, who had been sitting in the front, came in and returned
"Miss, it's already here."
Die'er listened to him, and it was like finding herself again. said to Lin Xi
"If the girl is not busy, let's stay here for one night, and then look for a car when it is dawn."
Lin Xi thought about it, and it was indeed this reason. He flipped through the cuffs and took out a dozen copper plates
"It's been a trouble for Miss Die'er along the way, but I really don't have any money when the incident happens at home suddenly. I'll leave these copper plates with the girl and buy a cake for the money. ”
In fact, she knew in her heart that if these copper plates were thrown into the restaurant, they might not be enough to spend the night. But if it's an ordinary family, it's enough. Originally, she should have paid more, but she had to rent a car and go to Yingcheng to find her brother tomorrow. There are many expenses along the way, but I can't take out more.
Die'er looked at the copper plate that was still a little dirty in her palm, but she couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in for a while. With a flick of his hand, he flicked the copper plates into his palm and said with a smile
"Then you're welcome. Keep the girl's copper plates so that you can find a good doctor and connect this leg. ”
As she spoke, she intimately helped Lin Xi to facilitate her getting out of the carriage.
Lin Xi was still a little ashamed in her heart, feeling that this girl was like a benefactor. It's just that I can't repay myself now. But when I got out of the car and saw the word "Fengqilou", I immediately felt that my hairs stood on end.
The three words that were as bright as blood hung high above the pavilion really made it difficult to ignore it. The girls in the building were dressed in red and green, and their clothes were half-disjointed, standing or sitting. Leaning on the second floor in a variety of styles, greeting the guests who come and go. It really responds to the scenery of the warbler with "dark makeup and smile, whispering and fragrant".
The lights at the door of Fengqi Building were colorful, and the rich sons did not shy away from holding the girl. And the carriage she and Die'er rode in happened to be in the middle of this group of people looking for flowers and willows.
No wonder she could hear the noise in the carriage, and no wonder the owner of the carriage behaved so dissolutely. If you think about it carefully, isn't the name Butterfly just a flower name!
Lin Xi was so frightened that he just wanted to get in the carriage and quickly escape from this land of fireworks. It's not that she's making too much fuss, it's really a girl from a white family who can't prove her innocence for the rest of her life if she comes to such a place.
Seeing that she wanted to leave, Die'er clenched her wrist even more. He only said coldly
"Why does Miss Lin Xi dislike us so much. Just seeing the three words Fengqilou, I am afraid that it will become like this. ”
Her face was extremely ugly, and she completely lost the charm of talking and laughing.
Lin Xi was also a little ashamed in his heart, although he now knew the identity of Die'er's girl. But when it comes to the sky, she can be regarded as saving her life. Doing this really chilled the benefactor's heart. It's just that... She can't go to this flower building.
"Butterfly girl... I don't have an opinion about you, it's just that I can't stay overnight in this flower building. ”
Her voice is very small, as if she is ashamed, which makes people feel very distressed to watch.
But Die'er smiled coldly and winked at the coachman. The meaty-faced man got the order and immediately rushed over and grabbed her.
Die'er couldn't help but think of herself when she looked at Lin Xi with such a surprised and painful look, but she still said to her ruthlessly.
"Let's make less effort. Do you think it's only been a day? ”
What she said was an understatement, but it gave Lin Xi a hard blow. Don't... No wonder she fell asleep quickly as soon as she got into the carriage, these people she thought she was a benefactor had the intention of sending her into the flower building from the beginning.
She went out of the sea of misery and into the pit of fire. Why did God make her suffer so much? She struggled violently, trying to escape the hands that were holding her.
When the driver saw that she was struggling to escape, he kicked her broken leg mercilessly. Lin Xi was kicked so hard by him, and his legs, which were originally painless, also hurt. Immediately he fell to his knees with all his strength.
The big man looked at her and said
"The butterfly girl is kind-hearted, and she is afraid that your leg pain will be terrible, so she deliberately put ten thousand peach blossoms in the incense powder to relieve your pain. Who wants you to be so ignorant! ”
He did not hesitate to drag her into the flower building, and when the pilgrims around him saw them like this, they only thought that she was a girl who had escaped from the building. In addition, the colorful butterflies are good at dancing with long sleeves, and the elder brother and brother are non-stop. Yes, an innocent girl like Lin Xi was absurdly abducted into the flower building.
No matter how she struggled and cried, the girl in this building seemed to be used to seeing it for a long time. Completely deaf and deaf, each greeting his familiar benefactor.
Lin Xi was thrown into a room by the big man, tied his hands and feet and tied to a shabby Luo bed. A not-so-clean handkerchief was stuffed into her mouth, leaving her squeaking and unable to make a sound.
Die'er told the big man to go out and stay in the house by herself. Seeing her in such a painful and struggling appearance, although she has long been tempered by wind and frost, she is still a little unbearable. After all, the future tragedy of this woman was caused by her own hands.
She replaced the handkerchief that had been stuffed into her mouth with the clean silk she carried, and tied the broken hair around her ear for her, and said slowly.
"There is something I still want to tell you, although it seems to you that it has nothing to do with you whether I say it or not. But I thought that since you were abducted here, you had to know why. ”
Lin Xi's eyes were already red, and a layer of skin was worn off by the rope in just a few kung fu hands, which showed how hard he struggled. Butterfly was afraid that she would hurt herself, so she took off her outer cloak again and put it on her wrist.
In fact, countless girls in this building were abducted, and most of them were thrown into this dark room and starved for three or four days. Like Lin Xi, there are still people to talk to, it is indeed the first time in Fengqi Tower. But there's a reason she's so special.
Seeing that she would not be injured by the rope again, Butterfly continued
"The reason why you were abducted by me is actually for my sister. My sister is the maid in this building, and she has been there for me. It's just that she is old and old enough to be able to pick up customers, so the bustard's mother is also moved. But I, as a sister, really can't bring my own sister into this hell. So I discussed with the bustard's mother, if I find someone to replace my sister, I will do it, and let her be my maid. ”
said that Lin Xi still didn't understand anything, she was the one who died in place.
"It's me who can't stop you. But I am the one who is punished in this hell, and I am not afraid of any retribution. It's just that my sister has taken advantage of your kindness, and I, as a sister, have to take good care of you for her. Actually, you don't have to mourn yourself, I think your condition must be due to the absence of your parents. You went to Yingcheng to look for your brother, but you didn't know that Yingcheng was poor and bad, and soldiers and bandits were rampant. You're a weak woman on the road alone, and being abducted here is already a good result. ”
When Lin Xi heard her say this, she only felt even more angry, what a good result was for her innocent daughter to be brought here!
Die'er was stared at by her but didn't care, but seemed to have a matter on her mind, and said to herself
"It's a day when you want to open, and it's a day when you're resentful. From now on, in this Fengqi Building, I will also take good care of you as my sister, and you will treat this as your life. ”
These words seemed to knock into Lin Xi's heart, and his nose was sour, and the tears fell even harder. Is this her life... From the concubine of Zaifu in Bianliang City to the peasant girl in Hecheng, in the end, she actually entered the Fengqilou of Yuecheng and became a dusty woman. This is how she lives in the world....
Die'er saw her crying like this, and she also understood that this was not something that could be thought of in a day or two. Seeing that she was no longer hurting herself, she left the house with a long sigh. That's it, when she wants to open it in the future, she will take care of it more. are all bitter women in the dust, who can she cross?
