Chapter 3 Rebirth
Bai Tingzhi didn't understand his situation when he opened his eyes for the first time, he only felt content when he knew that he was still alive, and he closed his eyes without thinking about it, wanting to sleep for a while, but when he closed his eyes, he felt that what he had just seen was unreal. The pain all over his body, especially his lower body, made him feel that something was wrong, he obviously hit his head and why his lower body hurt so much, and he wanted to reach down to determine what was wrong with him, but he found that his own hands couldn't do it, and he wanted to turn over and found that his body couldn't move.
This is...... Which?
He tried to wipe his face with his hands, but found that his hands and feet were tied to a board, and he struggled, but he couldn't break free, and the pain from his lower body made him lose the strength to struggle.
He wanted to shout, his mouth opened wide, but his throat was dry, his voice was weak, his voice was hoarse and immature? Bai Tingzhi was startled, and looked sideways at his bound hands, which were small in vain, not his own.
He noticed that around him there was a room of children lying around, and he looked at the child closest to him, who seemed to be unawake, tied to a simple wooden bed motionless, and his pants were covered with blood. Bai Tingzhi raised his head vigorously and aimed his eyes at his pants, which were also full of blood.
Bai Tingzhi was startled, only to feel whether he was in a dream or not, and he couldn't believe everything in front of him.
What's wrong with me, I was reborn, in a child, this child seems to have been kidnapped and abused to death, and then my soul came to this child.
Bai Tingzhi was thinking about how to escape from this place, when this group of kidnappers had kidnapped so many children, the door opened with a bang.
The head of the white pavilion was facing the door, and when he couldn't see the door, he heard someone at the door instruct: "Look at how many more breath-throating ones there are, and drag them out." ”
The speaker's voice is high-pitched, as if he is pinching his throat.
Then the others said yes and went into the house, and they began to probe the snort of the lying child with their hands, and after some of them were untied from the ropes that bound their hands and feet, and they were picked up and carried out of the door.
Bai Tingzhi looked sideways, his heart was cold, and he felt a strong sadness. Then he noticed that these people had strange clothes, like ancient clothes, which modern people would not wear like that.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps overhead, just now I was thinking too intensively, I was startled by the footsteps, and subconsciously turned my head to look at the top, at this time the person also walked over, the man looked down at Bai Tingzhi, Bai Tingzhi also looked at him, only to see a somewhat rich man, with a few strands of silver hair on his temples, his face was white, covering his nose with a handkerchief, looking at him and smiling, his eyebrows were bent, and he somehow Bai Tingzhi thought of the word "smiling tiger".
This person's hand touched his cheek, rubbed it, and said: "Our family thought that your small body would not survive this level, but I didn't expect that it was a hard life, rest assured that if you follow our family in the future, the miscellaneous family will love you well." ”
Bai Tingzhi didn't know how to react, so he just looked at him blankly, the man seemed to be very satisfied, and his smile deepened.
After all those people had finished checking and left, Bai Tingzhi's mind kept echoing the shrill voice and the face like the white wall.
Our ...... Our ......
He was not dressed as a kidnapped child, but a child eunuch who had just been castrated, and he became a "eunuch"!?
Bai Tingzhi's brain was not only filled with tofu brains at this time, but also crushed tofu brains.
He thought of his previous life that he was not married, no, he didn't even have a girlfriend, he was good-looking, but he was too cold to people, giving people a feeling that it was not easy to contact, so he didn't have a girlfriend until he was thirty, although he didn't put his mind here in his previous life, but "don't want to" and "can't" are different, and now he doesn't even think about it.
He was even happy when he knew that he was not so desperate when he was dressed as a child, he felt that his last body had been destroyed, and God was giving him a life to make up for the pain he had suffered in the past.
Now I see that God is definitely playing with himself.
And this is still ancient, which means that he doesn't even have personal freedom, and he has to bow three times and bow nine times every day, nodding his head and bowing his waist.
Thinking of this, Bai Tingzhi felt both aggrieved and helpless, but he had to accept that it was better to live than to die.
Lying on the wooden board for another day, during which a few were dragged out because of death, and in the end only 13 little eunuchs survived in this huge room, the oldest of them was only 13 years old, and the youngest was Bai Tingzhi, who was only five years old. In fact, it should be said that Bai Tingzhi is an alternative, because the youngest except Bai Tingzhi is 7 years old. Therefore, it can be said that Bai Tingzhi was able to come in because of the approval of Xigui's father-in-law, otherwise it would be difficult for a five-year-old child to take that knife. Even Bai Tingzhi didn't really take that knife.
It took another five days for the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring them to the Department of Internal Affairs and teach them how to be a qualified servant.
In the past five days, Bai Tingzhi has almost been placed on the wooden bed, unlike other children, some have been crying and crying, and some are forgetful because they can eat enough every day.
Bai Tingzhi just lay down, like a dead man. In fact, don't look at Bai Tingzhi lying down, but he didn't think much in his heart, most of the children here are concentrated in ten or eleven years old, and there are no children like him, and only he himself is five years old, and there are no six-year-old children, and in the past five days, the "smiling tiger" eunuch has come to see him three times, and the eunuch's eyes on him make Bai Tingzhi disgusted and feel ill-intentioned.
During this period, a seven-year-old little fat man often talked to Bai Tingzhi, he belonged to the kind of person who forgot the pain of the wound, but almost all of him was saying, Bai Tingzhi was lying there looking at the roof, and he was really annoyed by the noise, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Hey, kid, you're finally awake, why have you slept so long."
"What is your name, child, how old are you, my name is Qi Rui, I'm ten years old, am I older than you."
As he spoke, he turned from the front of Bai Tingzhi's head to Bai Tingzhi's side, pinched Bai Tingzhi's little arm, and said, "You are too thin, I must be older than you, you can call me big brother in the future, I will protect you, I am very strong." ”
Bai Tingzhi ignored him all the time, but he didn't dampen Qi Rui's enthusiasm at all.
Qi Rui didn't care about Bai Ting's reasoning and ignored him, so he said, "Do you know how I entered the palace?" In fact, my family used to have a good life, but then my father's shop was forcibly taken away by the eldest son of an unknown official, my father was unwilling, and he endured it, I couldn't look past it, so I spit on the man's feet, and then the man became angry, smashed our shop, and finally pointed at me and said you wait, and left. ”
Qi Rui cried as he spoke.
"Later, someone from the yamen brought me to the Xigui father-in-law, and my father came to the yamen to meet me, and told me that either I would go to the palace to be a eunuch, or I would drive our family out of the city, and the son-in-law also found the patriarch of our Qi family, saying that if I don't go to be a eunuch, we won't let our family enter the family tree, my father cried and said I'm sorry for me, I ...... I...... Actually, I was scared, but our shop was gone...... to be driven out of the city...... It is not yet possible to enter the family tree...... My dad got down on my knees...... I am the eldest son in the family and I ......"
Ten-year-olds don't know if these reasons are enough to convince themselves to compromise.
Bai Tingzhi sighed softly, feeling how similar this little fat man was to himself in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel distressed, diverted this sad topic, and said, "You are also brought to the palace by your father-in-law?" ”
Qi Rui saw that Bai Tingzhi finally spoke to him, and was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well, I noticed you as soon as I arrived at Xigui's father-in-law, you are as old as my brother, but you probably didn't notice me, you have always been led by Xigui's father-in-law." ”
"Do you know why your father-in-law is holding me?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Qi Rui's face, and he said, "I just heard that Father-in-law Xigui likes beautiful little eunuchs, probably you are beautiful." ”
"It's just heard." After speaking, his face turned a little red.
Bai Tingzhi finally understood why this noble father-in-law treated him like this, in some wild histories he had read in the previous life, it was said that some big eunuchs in the palace liked to play with the little eunuchs, and some of the little eunuchs even died because of this.
Qi Rui here said again: "In short, you will hide more from that noble father-in-law in the future, and in the future, we will go to the Department of Internal Affairs to teach us how to serve people, and then work everywhere, when my father looked at me, he also said that when the palace chooses people, let me hand some silver to the steward, and distribute it to a good place, I want to go to the imperial dining room, you go too, and I will cover you in the future." ”
Seeing that the more Qi Rui spoke, the more excited he became, Bai Tingzhi closed his eyes, thinking about how to escape.
Five days passed, and one of the people in the White Pavilion was brought into the Department of Internal Affairs, and when they arrived, they realized that there were not only a room of newly arrived little eunuchs, but also nearly fifty little eunuchs standing here.
The chief eunuch of the Department of Internal Affairs, the chief eunuch Xishun, looked at them and said: "When you come to our house, put away your previous temperament, the palace is not better than the outside, here you don't see whether you are old or young, this made a mistake, made the master unhappy, regardless of the size of the killing, we are rootless people, it is impossible to do anything big, the lord is glorious, if this master is not happy there, we will not provoke the master with long eyes, and die, don't blame our family for not reminding it." ”
Speaking of which, there were a few of them, and a few of the little eunuchs were already trembling with fright. A few others were so frightened that they peed their pants on the spot.
At this time, another eunuch began to register by name.
"Zhao Da"
"In"
"Lin Lei"
"In"
"Xue Gui"
"In"
"Bai Xiaofu"
There was no sound in the crowd.
"Bai Xiaofu"
Bai Tingzhi saw that everyone looked back and forth, but no one spoke, and felt that this should be the name of his life. So he shouted: "In"
I spent two months in the Department of Internal Affairs, and during these two months I learned to stand, kneel, serve tea, salute, clean, tray, and be careful everywhere. Even three meals a day have a saying.
In the past two months, Bai Xiaofu has maintained a wooden appearance on his face, but he has paid attention to everywhere in his heart, he has not seen that Xigui father-in-law in the past two months, but he has heard a lot of words about Xigui's father-in-law, first of all, a few eunuchs who taught them looked at him with pity, and in private they were mostly discussing him and that Xigui father-in-law.
