Chapter 16: The forehead is red
She dreamed of a world she had never seen before, brighter than the sun, but soft and not dazzling. The clouds are so close that they seem to be able to touch them as soon as you stretch out your hand, the sun, moon and stars hang in the sky, and ivory-colored pavilions and pavilions stand everywhere. Qi Zhao was still lying in the clouds and blood and shouting loudly, the big man with the axe in his hand fell, the head of the woman in gorgeous clothes rolled down, and the blood like a black lizard all over the ground surrounded her......
"Sister, sister! ......" Sumire Yang woke up from shouting Qizhao's name, and she squinted to see that the candles were still lit in the room, and it was still cloudy outside the window, probably not yet dawn. But Jin Yang couldn't lie down anymore, and most of the clothes on his back were already wet with sweat, sticky to his back, which made people very uncomfortable. She wanted to take a bath, but when she thought that it was the blind woman who was in charge of the bath in this Situ Mansion, and when she thought of the blind woman's gloomy face, Jin Yang shuddered.
After a hard night's sleep, Sumire Yang stretched out and sat up, sat on the bed stupidly for a while and then got up and went to the ground.
As soon as the curtain around the bed was opened, a maid-like woman knelt on the ground, squatting on the ground with sad eyes, and when she saw Jin Yang get out of bed, she cried and kept buttoning her head while crying.
"What is this for? You, you get up. I can't stand it. Jin Yang was startled and hurriedly helped the maid up.
When I looked closely, it was the one who came out in place of the beauties during the day. "It's you?!" Although Jin Yang didn't say it, she still admired her in her heart, and now in this world, there are not many women who are willing to stand up and challenge fate and fight for opportunities for themselves.
"Girl, can you help me?" The maid looked at Jin Yang with teary eyes.
"What's wrong? You get up and speak slowly. ”
The woman wiped her tears with her sleeve and got up and returned, "Does the girl lack someone to be close to herself?" The little woman is willing to serve the girl closely, and she only wants the girl to protect me. ”
"What's going on? Have you offended anyone? Jin Yang looked frightened when she saw the woman, and her tears fell down like beads with broken threads, and she thought to herself: Don't be that blind crazy woman who also comes to trouble her. She hurried around the woman, and when she saw that the maid who was asleep on the table in the nave was still asleep, she closed the door and turned back for the maid to sit down.
The maid said, "The girl can see that there are more or less red spots on the foreheads of the maids in this house, but the number is different. ”
Jin Yang thought for a while, as if there really was, there were seven or eight on Aunt Cuijuan's forehead, blooming on her forehead like a flower.
"What happened to the red dot?" Sumire asked.
"Do you know what the red dot means?" The more the maid spoke, the more excited she became, and she began to cry again, and the little maid who kept vigil at the door seemed to be disturbed by the noise, and changed her position and continued to sleep.
"Red dots? Meaning? Isn't it a very popular decoration? Or is it a distinction in the division of labor among maids? "Jin Yang has heard that the book has told me a lot about the secrets of the Inner Palace of the Martial Arts, so I know a little about these.
The maid twisted her face, shook her head aggrievedly and helplessly, and said: "The red dots on the forehead are the number of times the lord summons luck, in this mansion, the more red dots on the forehead, the more times the lord summons luck." I heard from the other maids that it was a privilege. ”
Jin Yang forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked in a gentle tone like her sister, "So, you don't want to?" ”
The maid pounced and fell to her knees again: "Although the little girl has no heart, she doesn't want to ruin her innocence in that old ...... Destroyed on adults. The girl is the one chosen by the palace, no matter how romantic the adult is, he dares to do anything to the girl, and I beg the girl to pity the little girl for this thought, let me stay with the girl, and I will die for the girl. ”
Jin Yang looked at her with some distress and admiration, such a woman who dared to fight for her own way out is rare in this world.
She picked up the maid and said, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Tang Xi, and I was sold to this Situ Mansion."
"I'll go to Mrs. Sheng at dawn and ask you to be my personal maid, how about it?"
When the maid heard this, she hurriedly turned her head to Jin Yang and said, "Thank you, girl, thank you." ”
Jin Yang helped her up and asked, "Tang Xi, do you know kung fu?" ”
Tang Xi shook his head.
Jin Yang nodded thoughtfully, and told her to help her get some water first, after all, she was still sweating, and if she went out like this, she was afraid that she would become the first stinky girl in this country.
Tang Xi wiped his tears, replied cleanly: "No" and went out.
Jin Yang thought in her heart, although this girl is a little scheming, but in such a Situ Mansion where demons and monsters are mixed, if she doesn't have scheming, I'm afraid there will be no bones left to eat.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Mrs. Sheng wanted to talk to Jin Yang, so she agreed without saying a word, and gave Jin Yang a new jade bracelet.
When Jin Yang came out of the Ning Xiang Courtyard with Tang Xi and a few little maids, he instructed a few maids to send back the gifts given by Mrs. Sheng first, and he took Tang Xi to wander around the courtyard. After walking a few steps, I heard what seemed to be someone shouting something.
Jin Yang searched for the sound and came to a place called Shaozhen Pavilion, but the difference was that the door was closed, and the lock on it was not known to be sealed by something.
Jin Yang thought it was an abandoned attic, and just about to leave, the people in the attic shouted loudly: "Peep into the heavens, the side door is left, if you want to go against the wheel of the sky, the number of qi is coming." Peeping into the sky, the side door left ......"
It's strange, this nonsensical word is so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.
Jin Yang asked Tang Xi, "Who is this?" ”
Tang Xi didn't enter Situ Mansion a few days earlier than Jin Yang, and shook his head to say that he didn't know.
Jin Yang saw that there was no one around, so he flew up and climbed the wall of the pavilion, Tang Xi was stunned below, covering his mouth and being so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Jin Yang made a silent gesture at Tang Xi, and flew to the Shaozhen Pavilion by himself.
The courtyard of the Shaozhen Pavilion is very small, and no one cleans the dead leaves all over the ground, and there are many racks for drying clothes in the courtyard, and there are large cloths hanging on them like the rune paper patterns of Taoist priests. In the center was a small room, perhaps because of the backlight, but the inside of the door was dark and looked like a cave.
Suddenly, the voice that had been shouting stopped, and Sumire also stopped. The Shaozhen Pavilion was instantly silent and terrifying, and suddenly, a gust of wind flashed out of the door with a black shadow and appeared in front of Jin Yang. She was startled, and subconsciously closed her eyes and ducked back.
She listened to the silence around her, and she opened her eyes full, and there was no one in her eye range. Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse woman's voice sounded in front of Sumire: "Who are you?" How did you get in? ”
Sumire Yang was startled again, and when he looked down, a face that was half a year old appeared in front of Sumire. She was horrified, she had never seen anyone look like this, the younger half was good-looking, and the older half was wrinkled and her lips shrunk. And this strange, distorted face stared straight at him.
Then the man asked, "Say, Who are you?" How did you get in. ”
Jin Yang swallowed his saliva and pretended to look at the man calmly, with a thin figure, delicate eyebrows and eyes, long flat hair scattered behind his head, and a red robe on his body, he was sitting on a chair at this time, and he looked a little similar to Yun Gu.
Jin Yang guessed the origin of this strange woman, and the woman seemed to be a little impatient: "Are you dumb?" I'm asking you. ”
"I, my name is Yang Jin, and I'm a new maid." Sumire replied.
"You climbed the wall to get in?"
Sumire nodded.
The woman said, "Hmph, what's the use of coming in, it's the ability to go out." As he spoke, he walked from the front of Sumire to the door of the black room in the blink of an eye. Jin Yang had never seen such kung fu, like a sharp sword shooting from his side to the door at once, even Yun Gu's peak light skills had not reached such a state, and the woman was still sitting on a chair.
At this moment, Yu Ji's voice sounded outside: "What are you doing here, girl?" ”
Tang Xi pretended to respond calmly: "I'm waiting for my girl." ”
"Your girl? Is there anyone else called a girl in this Situ Mansion? Yu Ji joked with Tang Xi in a weird way.
"Mrs. Hui's words are Miss Hi, the beauty who was selected yesterday."
Yu Ji seemed to be interested all of a sudden, and hurriedly said, "Is it her?" Where's your master? Quick, I want to see her, I haven't seen her yesterday when that stinky bitch blocked me, I just called your hospital today, thinking that there was no one, who knew that I met it halfway, and it was fate. ”
Tang Xi was speechless for a while, unable to speak.
As soon as Jin Yang heard that Yu Ji was coming to find him, he was ready to go out, but if he flew out so straight, he was afraid that people would know that he had this kung fu, and if it was passed on, he was afraid that he would be in trouble when he escaped. So she looked around, and saw a large tree in the southeast corner, and its branches were outside the Peony Pavilion, but the dense leaves had reached out over the wall into the courtyard. Jin Yang turned his head to look at the woman in red who was sitting on the chair with her eyes closed, and when she saw that she didn't react, she kicked her feet and flew in, then went down the tree pole to the side, pretending to have just come out from behind the tree, and saluted Yuji.
"I've seen Lady Yuji."
Tang Xi saw Jin Yang appear, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed and stood behind Jin Yang.
"Eh, what kind of lady is not a lady, I am not a few years older than you, just call me sister."
Jin Yang was a little unhappy when she heard it, in her heart, her sister was only Qizhao alone, and there was no substitute.
But she didn't want to cause trouble, in this mansion, it was still eye-catching enough, and if she still made enemies everywhere, she was afraid that she would die before she had time to escape.
"Mrs. Yuji, the little girl doesn't dare to be it."
"It's okay, it's okay! Let's go and talk to my house. Yu Ji enthusiastically took Jin Yang and walked towards her Pearl.
The red-clothed woman in the Shaozhen Pavilion looked coldly at the big tree that Jin Yang flew out, pursed her lips, two lines of clear tears fell, and then her eyes were as sharp as a wounded beast, and she snorted from her nose: "Is it you?" Can't you forgive me after all? ”
