Chapter 2 Nervousness

She had a long dream, surrounded by a group of people with blurred faces. They were laughing, looking at her gently, but she was scared. There seemed to be a fire burning in her chest, and she didn't know why, but she felt uneasy, and wanted to hide from them from looking at her with that gentle and drowning smile. She flinched back, but they rushed forward and took her hand to prevent her from escaping. She racked her brains to think of a solution, but when she saw the group of people's faces change, they howled and pounced on her, and their eagle-like claws scratched at her.

"You sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people!"

"You are unknown! You're not of the right blood! ”

"You don't deserve to live! How can you live! ”

She struggled to wake up, sweating through the back of her clothes. I wanted to open my eyes, but my eyelids weighed more than a thousand pounds, and I wanted to scream, but there seemed to be a fire burning in my throat, and I couldn't make a sound, and I wanted to raise my arms, but I found that I was tied. She didn't know where she was, her body was hot and painful, but there was a strange coolness.

She breathed steadily, did not dare to make a sound, and her five senses became more and more acute. She smelled the warm and somber aroma on the tip of her nose, heard the wind blowing against the window lattice, and tasted the bitter taste that still lingered on the tip of her tongue.

She heard the sound of slightly heavy footsteps on the bricks, as if carrying snow, gurgling, getting closer and closer, and pushing open the door with a cold air.

"Shizi, the medicine is ready." This is a woman who sounds a little older, with a flat tone and an authentic official dialect.

One of the boys in the room said, "Let it cool on the table." ”

She was startled. I thought she was the only one in the house, but when I suddenly heard the boy's voice, my heart beat a drum, and I didn't dare to move. She hadn't noticed anyone approaching since she woke up, so it was obvious that he had been here for a while. Who is he? Her clear, clear eyes popped out of her somewhat chaotic brain because of the pain.

"Shizi, I heard Desheng say your plan, the old slave trespasses, I must say something, this is not in accordance with the rules." The woman was a little hesitant.

"Mama, you have also seen it, leave her alone, she will definitely not survive for a few days." The boy said dryly, his voice crisp and beautiful.

The woman who was called "Mama" hesitated even more: "It's pitiful, what kind of sin did a little child do when he was beaten like this, alas! But her origin is unknown, and she can't sign the deed, in case there is any trouble after entering the mansion......"

Click, click, click, accompanied by a rhythmic percussion, the boy interrupted Mama's words: "Father and mother, I'll go and say it, she's still young, I believe there is Mama watching and teaching, it's not much worse." ”

The "mama" didn't speak again, and after a while, she felt like she was being held up, leaning somewhere. The teeth were pried open by something, and the warm soup ran down his throat. It's a little bitter, but it's okay, better than most of the things she's ever eaten. Her throat seemed to open with the warm soup, but she thought it was better not to make a sound.

She was helped to lie down again, and the place where she had been pulled hurt hotly. The sound of heavy footsteps grew farther and farther away until it was inaudible. Although she knew in her heart that these two people had saved herself, she listened to these two people shouting "Shizi" and "Mama", and her mind was full of those sons of the family who had whipped her. I don't know what these two people saved her for, so they still pretended to be dead quietly.

"Woke up?" The crisp voice sounded again, with a slight smile, sounding very kind, as if it was not like the little boy she had seen before.

She pretended to be poked out, without embarrassment, and tried to squeeze a smile that she felt very friendly, regardless of whether the other party could see it or not. The boy continued: "Mama Zhou who went out just now is my grandma, and she gave you medicine for your injuries. Your hands and feet were broken, and I was afraid that you would move in your sleep, so I tied you up first. When you heal your wounds, or join your family, or find someone, tell her. If you have nowhere to go, stay in the house and learn the rules from her. ”

"I must learn the rules from Mama." She thought for a moment and answered in a hoarse voice. After waiting, he tried to laugh again: "Thank you, Shizi." ”

As if a breeze was blowing, her forehead was gently caressed, and the smell of smoke on the tip of her nose was suddenly strong, and she couldn't help but tremble.

"Do you have a name?"

"Nope."

There was another click, click, click. Probably because of the effect of the medicine, she didn't feel so much pain in her body, and her brain was a little groggy, and the percussion sound was very rhythmic, making people drowsy. She was about to indulge herself in sleep, but she heard the old man say: "Although it is not easy to enter the mansion, since I meet you, I can't leave you alone." Although you are now scattered into mud, I hope you will leave the past, follow your grandmother to study hard, and be able to have a clean character in the future. Why don't you just call you Wanyan. ”

She let out an "um", battling the surging drowsiness, trying to make out his words. After a pause, the son of the world said again: "It's not good, this name is too eye-catching." I heard that there are all kinds of gems and jade in foreign lands, and some are called 'Sese', so why don't you call it Sese, which is also very catchy. ”

Sleepiness hit, and she didn't know what he said, but she couldn't understand what he was talking about. There were two more "um" sounds, and she couldn't stand it, and she fell into a deep sleep. In her dreams, there are always a pair of starry eyes looking at her gently, but unfortunately every time she wants to explore that face, she will always be torn apart.

After waking up and sleeping for a month, and being able to open his eyes and stretch his legs to the ground, the little beggar who was given the name "Sesei" finally saw Mama Zhou's true face.

Mama Zhou has a boxy face, and her unsmiling expression has been seen in many teams of honor guards. The difference is that Mama Zhou still has a look on her face, she is reserved and arrogant when she looks at people, but her posture is very humble, which she has never seen before.

Because of the broken hands and feet, he could only sit and listen to Mama Zhou's rules. She knew that if it weren't for Mama Zhou and Shizi, it would be impossible to sit here properly, let alone have a bed to sleep, food to eat, and medicine to drink. Therefore, even if Mama Zhou didn't look close to her, and her eyes were full of disgust, she didn't seem to understand, so she just sat obediently and listened respectfully to her about the rules of the house.

Mama Zhou talked for an hour and a half, and the small half pot of tea was in her stomach, and she was a little surprised to see that she was still sitting in a regular manner. She looked at Cersei who was young and grew up in the wild outside, and thought that she would have to work hard to be obedient. She was surprised in her heart, but her face was not obvious, she picked up the place she had just talked about and asked a few questions, and she answered them all properly, and it was obvious that she had listened to them, and she couldn't help but be a little satisfied, but she didn't show it. As the grandmother of the world, it is not easy to spare two hours, so she naturally does not want to waste time on uneducated people.

After sending Mama Zhou away, Cersei climbed back into bed. The doctor said that her hands and feet were broken and she could not move much, and she had to be well nursed to hope for recovery. Mama Zhou also emphasized that you can't keep a maid with broken hands and feet in the house, and if you want to stay, you have to lie down obediently. Therefore, no matter how much Cersei wanted to go out of the house to see, he put up with it.

Lying on the bed bored, recalling what Mama Zhou had just said. She didn't quite understand many of what Mama Zhou said, so she could only swallow the dates and remember them first, and then go back and think about them carefully. Just as he was thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of a little maid who didn't keep her head at the door, and couldn't help but say happily: "Erya, Mama Zhou is gone, come in and play with me." ”

Mama Zhou is in the inner courtyard on weekdays, and the task of taking care of Cersei for more than a month has been handed over to Erya. The second girl is about the same age as her, and when she was young, the family bought it from outside, and now she is a little girl who sprinkles and sweeps. Erya's mother made a good dish, and knew some superficial pharmacology, was placed in the old lady's small kitchen, her father became a groom, and her brother had become a parent, staying in Zhuangzi, the family was more than idle, and the oil and water were insufficient.

Erya was young and lively, watching the little girl who was similar to herself being beaten like that, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she consciously took on the responsibility of her sister, took Cerse's injuries to heart, boiled medicine and served food, and often came to see her when she was not on duty, and relieved her boredom. Cersei grew up in the market, is very good at reading people's eyes, has her own set of survival principles, and coaxes the second girl to be happy, and the two soon became little sisters.

"Erya, you came just in time, Mama Zhou has talked a lot, there are many things I don't understand, you just tell me about it." Cersei said with a smile as she lay on the bed.

The second girl stepped forward to look at Cersei's face, and saw that she was in good spirits, so she covered the corners of the quilt for her, and then found a place to sit and chatted with Cersei.
