Chapter 6: Tzu On Church
I don't know how Bai Qian predicted the whereabouts of the young lady, but Young Master Xiao did invite the young lady to go out for a night tour of Mingxin Lake after the meal, saying that there was a lantern festival there today, which was quite lively, and the old man also allowed the young lady to leave the house.
Miss Everyday is not very out of the house, after all, it is not good for everyone to go shopping every day, and even with them, there is no chance to go out for a walk. Today, I can go out with the young lady, so that Bao Lu, who is trapped in the mansion and is about to become moldy, has a long-lost excitement.
Although the ancient lantern festival was not as lively as the modern evening, how many people in the world really had the opportunity to participate in this ancient entertainment? Well, thinking about it this way, Bao Lu secretly put a few taels of private silver stored in the clay pot into a small purse, if you can meet someone who looks at it later, you must not be soft!
Miss must be ready to prepare a car when she goes out, Bao Lu was instructed to go to the carriage room to find a small house to prepare for the car, and Bao Lu saw Hu Yidao again without accident.
"Are you on duty today?" Bao Lu, who was a little speechless, followed Hu Yidao to talk.
"Yes." Hu Yidao brought two brown tall horses, and was putting a carriage noose on the horses, only casually replied.
"Are you still angry about what happened last time?" Bao Lu hurriedly walked in front of him: "I didn't have a heart, I thought you lied to me, I also didn't know how to catch it, who knew that you were really hurt there?" What's more, you didn't thank me for saving you, let you shed a little blood and didn't kill you, just when we evened it out? ”
"I don't blame you." Hu Yidao tightened the noose on the carriage, stared at Baolu's eyes and said meaningfully: "What words of thanks I say to you alone will not be worth the fact that you saved me." ”
"Then how did you come to Xiangfu? I said last time? There was no one in the stable, and Bao Lu finally had a chance to ask the doubts that had been held in his heart for a long time.
"Someone paid for Su Xiang's life." Hu Yidao only replied simply.
"Who wants Su Xiang's life? Why didn't you report to the authorities? Bao Lu's eyes widened.
"Reporter? Catch me? Hu Yidao smiled when he heard this: "Someone paid for it, and I was short of money, so I took this job." ”
"You're not afraid of death? There are more than 20 ordinary guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, not to mention that there are several powerful guards around the master! Bao Lu's eyes were originally round and big, as moist as a deer's eyes, and when he heard Hu Yidao's words, he stared a little rounder: "When did I meet you and you were short of money?" Besides, you can't do this murderous thing if you don't have money? ”
mentioned the previous incident, Hu Yidao's eyes darkened: "The silver taels you gave back then didn't save my mother's life, and her Shen Ke's body just kept hanging her breath and couldn't see me and my younger brother living in the world and suffering, and no medicine lasted long." ”
"The money you gave me was just to buy a better coffin for her to bury."
Hearing that the silver taels he gave out didn't save his mother's life, he felt quite uncomfortable. "Then how did you become an Assassin?"
"My younger brother was only ten years old at the time, and I couldn't support him alone." At that time, Hu Yidao was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he had no long things and could not sell himself to any house to work as an errand, so he could only do some small work, and he had to buy a few copper plates and buy some coarse rice every day, so that the brothers would not starve to death.
"My father was a soldier in the martial arts, but he was injured and returned to the village. He taught me some moves when he was alive, but I didn't learn them well when I went early. Recalling the past when he was a child, Hu Yidao's tone became a little hoarse: "I followed some adults around to mess around, and later I was taken to Ci'an Hall to help my younger brother Anzi also settle." ”
"You didn't mention you had a brother last time?" Bao Lu asked curiously.
Hu Yidao nodded and said, "Well, his name is Qiu'an, and he is about the same age as you." Back then, my father thought that there were many ways out for the family, so he kept sending him to a private school to study with his master. Later, his father and mother had accidents one after another, and there was no money for him to study. ”
Speaking of his younger brother, Hu Yidao's expression became unbelievably gentle, "He saw that the family really couldn't open the pot, and told me that he wanted to find some chores with me to subsidize the family." But his body was so weak that he couldn't even hold a rice bag. ”
seemed to remember his younger brother's stubborn appearance at the beginning - a little baby with a big fart holding a rice bag taller than himself, and he couldn't move a little but was sweating profusely to compete with it, Hu Yidao couldn't help laughing.
"Your brother is also quite sensible." Bao Lu listened and felt that the child who was about the same as himself must be an obedient person.
"Hmm." Hu Yidao nodded: "It's just too sensible, I am reluctant to let him suffer." And the master used to praise him for being a scholar material, and I couldn't let him bury it. ”
"What is the Ci'an Hall for?" Bao Green had never heard of this name.
"It's a church meeting held by some poor families who get together, and the martial arts do some hard work, and the family members settle together to take care of each other." Hu Yidao explained to her: "They saw that although I was young but had a good foundation, they took me in to teach for two years, and then took some work with them. Although the money is not much, there is always a place to live. There is a Mr. Liu in it, who has been tested before, and he also fell into Ci'an Hall in the family way, and now he specializes in teaching children inside. ”
"It sounds like those people are kind-hearted, why do they still take on the job of killing people?" Bao Lu thought about it, and felt that it was a little too cruel and bloody, but he still didn't understand.
"I don't know." Hu Yidao shook his head: "Ci'an Hall is just a small hall to the outside world, and the unsightly work is all contacted and responsible by special personnel. They saved me and my brother, and they reciprocated me with a spring of favor, but I never asked the reason for what the church told me to do. ”
"What about you now? How did you get into the Prime Minister's Mansion and become a groom? Baolu was a little shocked by what Hu Yidao said about the people's life, and the things that these people who couldn't survive did by the side of the rich, safe and happy young lady were things that she didn't understand.
"You don't have to ask about this, I don't want to lie to you about what I can't tell you." Sweeping away everything he knew before, Hu Yidao avoided this question: "You just need to know that I won't harm you." ”
When Bao Lu still wanted to ask Hu Yidao about something, Ai Ju came over and said that Miss and Young Master Xiao were ready to go out, and asked Bao Lu to go back to serve him. Seeing this, he couldn't cross the line anymore, so he followed Ai Dai to the inner courtyard, but the many thoughts that exploded in his mind made Bao Lu couldn't help but look back at Hu Yidao, and he was still tidying up the carriage as if nothing had happened.
