Chapter 057: No Heartbeat
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Great Jin Official Maiden!
The red waist walked on the side of the road with a dirty face, she had plastered her face, her skirt was torn and tattered, and now she was like a hungry refugee.
The red waist did not dare to leave Yanjing, and the order of the nine kings did not let her go, she wandered in the streets and alleys, hiding in a hidden corner, where there was a beggar gang, seeing that the red waist was a girl, she accepted it very happily.
Because she didn't say anything to ask the red waist, the group of beggars called her dumb, "Dumb, the city gate is open today, do you want to get out?" Stay here, one day King Yan goes crazy, and everyone will suffer. ”
Redwaist looked at the person who spoke, she was mute now, so she shook her head very professionally.
There was a little girl who came to pull the clothes of the red waist and wanted the nest head in the red waist hand, and the red waist gave it to her.
But then the little girl said, "You don't have a heartbeat." ”
The red waist shook her hand, and the head of the nest almost fell to the ground, she looked up at the little girl, but the little girl snatched the head of the nest, turned around and ran.
Red Waist slowly pressed her hand to her chest, and the sound of her heartbeat came immediately, and she put her hand down.
When she went to bed at night, she saw the little girl again, and the little girl was nestled next to an old beggar, her dark eyes staring at the red waist.
Red-waisted lay down on the haystack, and she had to close her eyes and pretend to sleep every night, lest the beggars around her suspect her. She had been like this for many days, especially the little girl's look that made her stressed.
She always felt that the eyes of children in this world were clearer, did she find something?
At night, Red Waist felt very warm lying on the haystack, before becoming this body, Red Waist had always been more chilly, but now with these haystacks, she seemed to relive the feeling of her previous life.
When she opened her eyes in the middle of the night, she saw a short figure standing next to her, and the little girl looked straight at the red waist.
I don't know how long she's been watching, but the red waist tensed up, and suddenly closed her mouth again when she wanted to speak.
Although the other party is a little girl, she is not sure that she will tell the adult.
The little girl suddenly raised her hand and pointed at her: "You don't have a heartbeat." ”
At night, the little girl's voice was clear, but the surroundings were very quiet, and the red waist felt that her heart was beating suddenly.
But she soon found that her heart was not as she thought, let alone abrupt, it was quiet in her chest, as if she didn't make a sound.
The red waist was cold, and he raised his hand in disbelief, wanting to reach the position of his heart.
Then the little girl giggled: "Oh, you don't have a heartbeat......"
Red Waist shook his hands in fright, and then hung down from his chest. But I saw that the little girl suddenly jumped up and down again, ran back to the old beggar's side, snuggled up to the old beggar and fell asleep.
The night breeze blew, and the red waist had no warmth at all, and she felt cold and swishing, as if her body could no longer emit heat.
When I put my hand on my chest, I couldn't really feel my heartbeat for a moment, but soon, my chest was beating.
As if she had suddenly relaxed, her red waist hung down her arms, and her fingertips began to feel cold, because she didn't know why, she felt that what the little girl said was true.
Perhaps the little girl had already noticed that she sometimes couldn't hear her heartbeat. It's a pity that she hasn't found out yet.
Redwaist lay back on the haystack, hugging his shoulders with a feeling of confusion.
For several nights in a row, the red waist didn't dare to wander at all, she just slept less than ordinary people, and it wasn't that she didn't need to sleep, but since then, several times sleepiness hit, she didn't dare to really close her eyes.
The little girl, in particular, had not been near her since, and had always clinged to the old beggar, and that look always made Redwaist wonder if she had told the old beggar.
Finally, Red Waist felt that it was time to change places, there were so many streets and alleys in Yanjing, she could find another one, and it was not a long-term solution for her to stay in any place for too long, and it was easier to leave a handle.
After deciding on it, Redwaist followed the group of beggars who went out to the street every day, ready to sneak out of the alley one morning.
Unexpectedly, before he took two steps, he was called from behind him: "Hey dumb? Where are you going! ”
Red's back stiffened, and then he thought it would be better to pretend he didn't hear and keep walking.
But the sound of footsteps quickly coming from behind her blocked her way, and a tall middle-aged man looked at the red waist worriedly: "Dumb, you can't speak, and you can't beg passers-by when you go out, so stay here." ”
He was the one who took in Redwaist before, and since Redwaist found this alley, he didn't dare to walk around, he has been eating and drinking in the alley, and those beggars are willing to give her a mouthful of food.
The red waist looked at the middle-aged man, if she talked about running, she would definitely not be able to outrun the person in front of her, so the only way to do it was to discuss with him.
Redwaist thought about how a mute man could discuss with people, so he could only point to the exit of the alley to show his determination to go out.
The middle-aged man scratched his head, and finally compromised and said, "In this way, if you stay in this alley, I can take you around the street." ”
The man obviously misunderstood, and only thought that the red waist was a girl after all, and he must have lingered in the hustle and bustle of the market after being in the alley for a long time.
The red waist is very distressed, she can only take this man with her if she wants to go out, and it will not be easy to run when the time comes.
But the middle-aged man's eyes already showed determination, obviously either the red belt on him, or the red waist didn't want to leave.
Redwaist had no choice but to bow his head and nodded.
The middle-aged man was very happy, and immediately took the hand of the red waist: "Let's go, I'll take you around this Yanjing." ”
The red waist all over her body shows that she is a "foreigner", even if she pretends to be dumb, she can still be seen, and the middle-aged man is very excited to point out to the red waist to see the lively place in Yanjing, but the red waist eyes flashed, but there was no surprise.
Yanjing is the capital of Dayan, but the dilapidated and decadent atmosphere here make the red waist feel a sense of déjà vu.
In just a few months, she went from Wei to Zhao, Zhao to Chen, and then to Yan, and only Yanjing made her feel this way.
On the way, the middle-aged man met a few "colleagues" in the alley, and greeted him very happily, and the old beggars who had been with the red waist for many days saw the red waist follow the middle-aged man out, and they all showed surprised expressions, and the red waist saw that in the dilapidated bowl in front of them, there were only a few copper plates dropped by the poor people.
The middle-aged man is already the most decently dressed of all people, but he walks the streets and alleys with a red waist, and is still disliked and despised by many traders and passers-by. ”
Red Waist glanced at the stall owner, she didn't want to stand in such a conspicuous place, but there was a very beautiful green hosta on the stall, Red Waist used to have such a hairpin on her body when she was in the Zhao family, but she didn't see it again after Yizhuang woke up.
The first time she saw this familiar hairpin, she subconsciously stopped.
The middle-aged man thought that the red waist liked the hairpin, so he also accompanied her, and reached out to pick up the hairpin.
This aroused the disgust of the stall owner: "This hairpin is five taels of silver a piece, and you can't afford it, so let's go!" ”
The middle-aged man seemed to have really moved his mind to buy just now, but at this time, he was ridiculed by the stall owner, and his face turned red. He really can't afford five taels of silver, they have to commit a year, and they don't know if they can see this amount.
The red waist pulled him and looked at him.
The middle-aged man understood that the red waist wanted him to go, but he just looked at the red waist's delicate face, and then looked at the hairpin, his eyes showed loss.
At this time, a person suddenly jumped down from a carriage parked on the side of the road, pushed the crowd away a little roughly, slapped five taels of silver in front of the stall, and then picked up the hairpin.
The red waist was about to leave, when he saw the hairpin, stretched out in front of his eyes.
Even the middle-aged man was stunned, looked at the person who bought the hairpin, and was about to ask out loud, but the man said in a weird manner: "This girl, please follow me to the carriage." ”
The red waist stared at the hairpin in front of him, and quickly glanced at the person, who was wearing a big Yan costume, but obviously not a big Yan person. The carriage had already stopped on the side of the road, and it didn't know where it was coming.
The middle-aged man heard that he was asked to go to the carriage, so he was vigilant, but he thought that the other party was the kind of person who specialized in cheating girls. So I immediately pulled the red waist and wanted to leave.
But before he could take a step, he saw the middle-aged man's body limp and collapsed, falling directly on the road.
Someone among the people screamed.
The red waist looked at the man, there was a thin wound on the neck, she seemed to be stunned, and wanted to reach out to touch him.
The man who bought the hairpin continued to say in a strange manner: "He is not dead yet, but if you still refuse to follow me to the carriage, he will soon die." ”
Redwaist stiffened and turned to face the man, "Lead the way." ”
The man threw the hairpin into Redwaist's arms, and walked indifferently towards the carriage, which followed him, staring closely at the modest carriage.
When he arrived, the man swept away his face and said respectfully, "Master, she is here." ”
Then he glanced at Red Waist and let Red Waist get into the carriage.
There was no sound in the carriage from beginning to end, and I didn't know if it was a man or a woman, a man or a ghost.
Redwaist clasped her hands, stepped on the wheels of the carriage and went up, looking at the closed carriage door, she reached out and pushed it open.
Before she could look inside, she was pushed hard by the man behind her: "Go in!" ”
Then the carriage door closed tightly again, leaving no gap.
The red waist seems to have pounced at the feet of a person, a pair of feet wearing embroidered moire boots, and the owner seems to be a person with a hidden head and tail.
An unkind and gloomy chuckle unexpectedly sounded in his ears: "Hong'er, we meet again." ”
