Chapter 100: Don't Call Me Master!
"What are you doing?"
Hua Rou looked at Yu'er who had been circling in the cell in puzzlement, since she woke up in the morning, she was spinning, and she didn't stop when she turned to the sun.
"I'm scared, I'm ...... Nervous. Yu'er's voice was trembling, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Scared?" Hua Rou was a little confused.
"You've been here for three days, she'll be picking you up in a moment."
"Oh, I said what were you afraid of." Hua Rou got up and came to Yu'er's side and took her hand: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely rescue you!" β
Yu'er's eyes flashed with hope, but Hua Rou tilted her head and thought in her mouth: "Strange, why haven't Ziqi and Zihua come to poison us again these days?" β
"Do you still want them to come?" As soon as Yu'er's words fell, Tang Jiu'er entered through the stone gate, and Yu'er withdrew her hand and hid in the shadows.
Tang Jiu'er stretched out his hand with a straight face and opened the door of the cell: "Come out!" β
Hua Rou stood still and did not move.
"What? You don't want to come out? β
"Yes."
"Then what are you still doing in a daze?"
Hua Rou turned her head to look at Yu'er in the dark: "Master, please let her out!" β
Tang Jiu'er looked at Hua Rou in silence, and only spoke up after a few seconds: "Why did you ask me to let her go?" β
Hua Rou groaned slightly, pursed her lips and said: "Everyone will make mistakes, she can also reform herself, and everyone can ...... With good thoughts. β
Tang Jiu'er looked at Hua Rou: "Do you know why she should be locked up here?" β
"I know, she'...... It's wrong for her to kill someone, but she's been locked up for three years, maybe you think it's right, but if she can mend her ways, don't you keep her here so that a person will no longer have a chance to do good? β
Tang Jiu'er took two steps forward at this time, walked into the prison, and stood in front of Hua Rou: "Do you know what it means to speak for others?" β
Hua Rou shook her head.
Tang Jiu'er stretched out her hand and pointed to the darkness behind Hua Rou: "It means that if this person does evil in the future, it will be your evil!" β
Hua Rou's body trembled slightly, and then she bit her lip and said, "If she does a good deed, then it is also my goodness, right?" β
Tang Jiu'er's eyes were as sharp as knives, she stared at Hua Rou without saying a word, and Hua Rou also looked at her, without fear, without discouragement, even the straighter and straighter her back, her eyes became more and more firm.
After a moment, Tang Jiu'er took a step across and looked at the shadow: "Did you hear that?" She actually thinks that you will be dedicated to goodness when you come out. β
"I will!" Yu'er rushed out of the darkness and knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound: "I can master, I ......"
"Don't call me Master!" Tang Jiu'er's eyes were not only indifferent but also alienated: "I said when you came in, I am no longer your master, and you are no longer a disciple of my poison room, even if I may let you out, we are no longer masters and apprentices." β
Yu'er's tears fell suddenly, and the person was prostrate on the ground, humble as an ant: "Poison master, I will really change my ways, really...... No more killing, I swear! β
Tang Jiu'er squinted at Hua Rou at this time: "Are you sure you want to save her?" β
Hua Rou nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, I promise you, for now, you come with me alone." After Tang Jiu'er finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Hua Rou didn't follow out immediately, but reached out to pull Yu'er up, squeezed her hand, smiled at her, and then walked out of the prison door.
Yu'er watched them go out in a daze, first burst into tears and laughed, and then hugged the cell door and criedβshe was finally going out.
"Thank you, Master, for giving Yu'er a chance......"
Hua Rou stood on the lawn and thanked Tang Jiu'er, but before she finished speaking, she was coldly interrupted by Tang Jiu'er: "I'm not giving her a chance, I'm just looking at your sake, for your sake, for your 'good thoughts', but what will happen is not about me, only about you." β
"I believe her."
Tang Jiu'er raised her hand and motioned to Hua Rou to stop talking about Yu'er: "Okay, I didn't mean her when I asked you to come out." Now there are two things that you hear clearly.
"Master, please speak."
"First, because of your performance, what you will learn in the future will be different from Ziqi and them, this is the result of your choice, don't be surprised; Second ......"
Tang Jiu'er took out a bucket of incense and handed it to Hua Rou: "In the future, when you fall asleep every night, light this incense, and you come to my room alone to practice in the middle of the night, no one can tell me about this matter." β
"Yes, Master." Hua Rou took the incense and put it in her sleeve pocket.
Tang Jiu'er actually reached out and patted Hua Rou's shoulder at this time: "Master hopes that you will always remember your 'good thoughts'. β
Hua Rou was stunned for a moment and nodded: "I will." β
She didn't mention anything about this test, nor did she ask Zi Qizi about the poison punishment, but when Tang Jiu'er turned around to leave, she chased after her: "Master! β
Tang Jiu'er looked back at her.
Hua Rou plucked up her courage: "Master, the people in the prison ...... hard"
"Hua Rou, kindness is good, but you can't lose your edge, and you can't have no boundaries!"
Tang Jiu'er's eyes were full of admonition: "I agreed to let Yu'er out, because I want you to feel the gains and losses of every decision, and you are not the god who saves the world, and you are not qualified to ask for more." β
After Tang Jiu'er finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and strode away, leaving Hua Rou standing alone, and only after a long time did she return to the bitter prison and bring Yu'er out.
She had not been out of the torture prison for three years, when Yu'er stepped on the lawn, her expression was extremely excited, she would look at the flowers and smile, she would reach out and touch the trees along the way, and when she walked out of the torture hall with Hua Rou and saw the familiar corridor and courtyard, she took a deep breath.
"It's good to be alive."
Hua Rou looked at Yu'er's happy back in silence, and all she thought about in her head was Tang Jiu'er's words.
β¦β¦
After Yu'er bathed and changed clothes and re-inverted, she was no longer decadent and resentful, and her delicate face was full of cherishment and greed for her new life.
"You live with me first, Master said she won't take you as an apprentice again, but you can do chores in the poison room first, and we'll see if there's a chance after a while."
"Good!" Yu'er was nodding, the door opened, and Linlin entered with a few books in her arms.
Yu'er very consciously stepped back and made her own bed.
"Hua Rou, this is what I learned when I was in the outer gate, you shouldn't have touched it, give it to you! You can take a look at it, useful. β
"Thank you!"
Lin Lin put the two volumes of "Acupuncture Pill Classic" and the three volumes of "Poison Solution" on the table: "Don't say anything thank you, many times before, I didn't help you......"
Hua Rou took Linlin's hand: "You have your difficulties, I know it in my heart, not to mention that you also gave us the antidote!" β
"As it should be!"
"By the way, on such a hot day, why are the doors and windows of your east chamber all closed, and you are not afraid of stuffiness?"
When she came back, she saw that the doors and windows of the east wing were closed, which was very strange.
The corners of Linlin's lips hooked: "Someone has done something bad, God is punishing them for their crimes!" I'm afraid that my body is not good, and I don't dare to see people! β
Hua Rou's face was puzzled, and Linlin smiled: "They may have made a mistake when dispensing poison, and now their whole body is rotten......"
