Chapter Forty-Nine: The Road Meets the Dead
is taking a nap in the car, closing his eyes is the sentence of the Qingzhu Sage, which is not more than ten years.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, because I didn't come and took precautions, I almost fell out, the injury on my foot had not been relieved, if I fell, I didn't have to get out of bed for a few days, but fortunately I was quick to react and grabbed the frame of the carriage.
"You don't have long eyes!" Lin Bai's scolding voice was angry, and it sounded like he almost jumped down and beat the man.
I lifted the curtain slightly, and caught a glimpse of a beggar lying in the middle of the road, apparently a woman. I helped Lin Bai and shook my head at him, signaling to stop pursuing it.
Lin Baiyang whipped around, and the moment I passed by her side, my brain exploded, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. "Stop!"
My voice was urgent, Lin Bai was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the reins.
"Lin Bai, you go back first, I still have some things to do." I tried to calm my mind so that my voice didn't sound so anxious.
Lin Bai sighed and replied, "Your ...... injury"
"It's out of the way, it's better to slow down for a while."
Seeing that he couldn't be dissuaded, Lin Bai changed a few words of advice and drove away.
There was a dull pain in the ankle, but fortunately it was still able to support it. I walked up to the beggar and looked up at me in bewilderment.
Those eyes, which have been clouded by vicissitudes, are covered with yellow and red bloodshot on the whites of the eyes, the corners of the lips are chapped, and a mouth is a foul smell, I really can't imagine that Lord Liu's favorite second concubine, my second aunt, actually looks like this, but it's a pity that it's not miserable enough.
She grabbed my leg and begged, "Okay, give me something to eat, I haven't eaten for three days." ”
At this time I was wearing a veil, and she couldn't see my face, but just kept wagging her tail and begging for mercy.
After the coachman told me the news of the destruction of the Liu family, I asked the Dark Night Pavilion to inquire about their whereabouts, it is said that the eldest aunt divided most of the family property, and the only daughter Liu Shuxin died tragically in the palace, so she took the money to remarry a peasant, but the Liu family has long been raided, and the so-called property is just some private money of Lord Liu. The third aunt had nothing to do, and died of illness in Yichun Building not long ago. The second aunt and her concubine went to Dongli, how could they see her so depressed in the imperial capital.
"Don't you have children? Your kids don't care about you? I asked in a low voice.
She wailed and cried: "The man who killed a thousand knives took all the money to gamble, and was arrested and imprisoned for owing money, where can I have the money to redeem him." ”
I groaned and turned to leave, but one leg was grabbed by her. "Good Samaritan, give me something to eat, please."
This scene is familiar, four years ago, they blamed their mother for adultery, I knelt in front of her and begged her bitterly, to defend my mother, but she said that we were the same fox and, and locked us up for three days without a drop of water. Fortunately, it was the rainy season at that time, and my mother and I drank the sewage flowing from the ground every day in order to survive.
"Okay." I smiled, "I have a request, though. ”
"What requirements?" She was a little dazed.
"Sing me a song, as loud as possible, so that everyone around here can hear it."
She froze, not knowing whether to say yes or give up.
The second aunt is a girl bought by Master Liu in the kiln, and she can only sing some glamorous songs, which is unbearable, but in those years, she won favor with these little songs. I don't know if she has grown after so many years.
"I ...... I ......" she hesitated and refused to speak.
I went to the nearby bun shop and bought a few buns, but I didn't give them to her.
She sang mournfully at noon, her voice hoarse. "The starry eyes are looking forward to the difference, and the peach blossom song on the pillow is two-petaled. Many parties want to close their mouths and ......"
The song drew laughter from everyone on the side of the road, and their eyes were full of contempt.
The smile on my lips was even worse, I took a bun from the paper bag and held it up in front of her eyes, and she was about to reach out to take it, when I let go of my hand, and the bun fell to the ground, covered with dust. "Oops...... I'm really sorry, I didn't hold it steady, but I should still be able to eat the ashes. ”
She picked up the bun on the ground and bit it down, tears streaming down her cloudy eyes.
"Feel aggrieved?" I crouched down and looked directly at her. "It's a pity that it's not worth mentioning compared to what I've endured."
Her eyes widened, she swallowed the last bite of the bun, and she took a few steps back in horror, her index finger trembling at me. "You, you are, Liu Sujin?"
"I'm not dead, aren't you disappointed?" The streets are sparsely populated, the snow is falling, and the cold is cold except for the cold.
"You, what do you want to do?" Guardedly, she picked up a rock and held it to her chest.
I chuckled a few times and replied, "Do you think you can still hurt me now?" Seeing her ragged appearance of a soldier, I felt a little happy and a little dissatisfied, dissatisfied that God had no eyes and didn't let them die cleanly together. But now that they have met me, they will naturally not let them die happily. I, Liu Sujin, am not a good-hearted person, and I can't smile and grudge. What they owe me, I will receive. "Second aunt, I haven't seen you for many years, you still recognize me, it seems that you really miss me?"
"Liu Sujin! You are a little villain, I don't believe in Mingxiang, what can you do to me in broad daylight! Even if you want to kill me, you are the Liu family's mourning dog, the murderer of your mother. She smiled insolently, and her voice was poignant.
Now I'm not a child she can provoke at will, and the more she shows her teeth and claws, the happier I am. "Naturally, I won't treat you well, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, I just hope that the second aunt can survive this winter, and I will let you see how white-haired people send black-haired people."
Just as she was about to lift her foot, her ankle was grabbed by her. "What are you capable of coming at me, why do you move my son!"
I crouched down and pinched her throat with one hand, and she couldn't breathe for a moment and her face flushed. "I don't have the skills, so ...... You have to watch this scene. ”
He gathered his cloak and turned to leave.
Walking into a small alley, there was silence all around, except for the north wind whistling in my ears.
"Come out." Shouted casually. A person jumped from the eaves, in a black suit, with solemn eyebrows and eyes. He respectfully clenched his fists and said to the young pavilion master. "Since when have you been following me?"
"The subordinates are ordered by Miss Lan Zhi to protect the young pavilion master."
"Protection? It's surveillance. With my skills, I still need your protection? "Frowning slightly, I just feel that Lan Zhi is getting more and more momentum to empty my rights." Forget it, I won't pursue you, did you see that beggar just now? Keep an eye on me, and don't let her escape my sight. ”
He nodded, then disappeared from sight.
Street vendors picked up their stalls, and in a moment they were empty.
