Chapter 3 Arrogance
The pale cyan sky is still inlaid with a few sparse residual stars, the air is filled with the cold air of dawn, and Qianshan Xue stares out of the window in a daze, since no night is a good dream, it is better to guard the stars until dawn.
When he was about to arrive, the footsteps outside the door were chaotic, and the next moment, he only heard the whip sound of "pop, pop" in his ears, and the people who came passed by a bunk, and shouted loudly while pumping: "Get up." ”
Qianshan Xue laughed at herself, and counted silently in her heart: one, two, three, four...... On the fifth count, she rolled over, and at the moment the whip fell, she raised her right hand and caught it.
It was Anji Ze who whipped him, and he was the number two person in the palace, he was stunned in vain, and met the dim eyes of Qianshan Xue, it turned out to be him.
The two dragged and pulled, and confronted each other for a while, Qianshan Xue had been rubbed and bleeding by the whip due to excessive force, which should be very painful, but she was expressionless.
"You bastard, so bold, you dare to resist?"
"Just give you a whip."
Qianshan Xue was still dead silent in her eyes, and then she plopped down and said respectfully.
"Okay, you got it yourself." Anji's vicious smile instantly became even more ruthless.
Qianshan Xue knelt expressionlessly, neither afraid nor angry, and did not move like a stone statue.
Anji restrained the sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, shook the whip, and he whipped it to the ground, in order to scare her first, but Qianshan Snow did not see a trace of waves, which angered him.
He slammed the whip into her back, whistling like a long black snake, and when he pulled it back, the whip scraped off a long strip of flesh from the belt.
The red blood stains were shocking.
Qianshan Xue laughed in her heart, fortunately it was not a cane punishment, although the cane punishment was more serious, and if she was not careful, she would die on the spot, and she would die a hundred times, but the whipping was not so easy to die, it would leave a scar, and people would always remember the suffering they had suffered, yes, what she wanted was this hard work, and she would always remember it.
Most of the temple people had also seen bloody scenes, so they didn't exclaim, were frightened, and even watched calmly with their eyes open.
Qianshan Xue was still whipped, and she calmly closed her eyes and counted the whips, not even frowning.
Probably after venting, Anji said to the other temples, "You all listen to me, whoever dares to disobey in the future will be his fate." ”
He threw away his whip and sat leisurely under the porch, admiring the snow and the blood in front of him.
Snowflakes fell, dripping on her wounds with burning pain.
Looking at the red and white on the ground, she licked her mouth, and suddenly remembered the smoothie at the door of her house, she likes to eat smoothies with watermelon flavor, she looked at it, suddenly thought, and smiled bitterly, it turned out that everything was predestined.
As soon as Xiao Xuanyu came back from outside, he leaned lazily on the couch.
Suddenly, I somehow remembered that temple man, this kid actually dared to become his person, a traitor who betrayed others, in his eyes, he was not far from death, as for keeping him, he was just waiting for the person behind him to appear.
Thinking about it again, for a person like him, rebellion is nothing more than two possibilities, survival or profit, which one is he? Or both?
With this in mind, he rolled his eyes, called the attendant, and left the bedroom.
At the gate of the sprinkler courtyard, he saw a thousand mountains of snow kneeling on the ground, and he instructed his attendants to inquire quietly.
The attendant came back to report that Anji was being whipped according to the law.
"Why?"
"It was said that he contradicted Anji Ze and refused to obey discipline."
Xiao Xuanyu didn't speak, and the expression on his face changed a few times.
The attendant thought that King Xuan had come here to see the excitement, so he tentatively asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go and see it?" The kid was bloody. ”
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Xuanyu said calmly, "Good punishment, give three more whips." Pass this on to the people inside. ”
The punishment of sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard was nearing its end, and Qianshan Xue was in a painful trance when she heard someone say, "Your Highness said that the punishment is good, the punishment should be deserved, and then give three more whips." ”
"Haha, Your Highness is really wise, you all look at it, Your Highness hates the most meticulous work, this is the end of the meticulous work."
Qianshan Xue's last bit of strength ran out, she didn't have to pretend to be dizzy this time, and finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground.
Anji did not relent, and whipped Qianshan Xue lying on the ground three times, and added another whip before stopping.
A group of people escorted him out, and suddenly there was silence in the courtyard.
There was a plum tree in the courtyard, which was shaken off by the whip and fell all over the courtyard, and the petals fell in her blood, which was miserable and humble.
Qianshan Xue lay in the courtyard for a long time, no one dared to approach, only one temple person Changde couldn't bear to approach a few times or no one dared her to get into the house, until the dead of night, he quietly ran out, took the ointment to apply to her, the whipping can be endured, only this ointment she trembled in pain, crying.
It turned out that it was not that he was not wronged, but that he only dared to heal his wounds in a place where no one was around.
"You bear with me, I'll quietly wipe it for you every night."
After saying that, he poured some water and a few mouthfuls of steamed buns into her mouth.
Qianshan Xue looked at him gratefully, and said with a weak strength, "I will definitely repay you." ”
Changde just smiled and didn't say anything.
This night, Qianshan Xue recognized the warmth and coldness of the world, and also met a kind-hearted person named "Changde", watching Changde come out to visit her every other hour, cover her with clothes, give her food, even if she has a thousand words in her heart, she feels that coming to this world is not so bitter for the first time in thirteen years.
After staying up all night, Qianshan Xue struggled to get up, after all, it was not a cane punishment that did not hurt the bones, and it was barely possible to walk.
The next day, Anji came to investigate again early in the morning.
Seeing that Qianshan Xue was still kneeling, his heart was slightly relieved.
He looked at her coldly, the corners of his lips hooked, and he ordered her to clean the three side courtyards of the West Courtyard
Qianshan Xue couldn't care about the embarrassment on her body, so she had to respectfully accept the order.
Seeing her slightly acquaintance today, I snorted coldly in my heart, "I really don't know what to do if I don't fight." ”
Then he asked the temple people around him, "What is his name?" ”
"Xiaobai."
"White? Innocent? Phew, I think he's stained this word all his life. ”
After speaking, he smiled contemptuously and took a sip of disdain before leaving.
When I arrived at the West Courtyard, Qianshan Xue was stunned, and there was a depression in front of me, although the courtyard was not broken, but the corners of the wall were covered with cobwebs, and there was no trace of popularity, was it the legendary Cold Palace?
She walked slowly, looking one by one, these rooms were carved from fine rosewood, the house was beautifully carved, and when she stepped into the inner hall, she would smell the fragrance of rosewood, but some of the eaves were dilapidated, and the walls were faintly visible with black ash, and there should have been a fire here.
After turning around a few yards, Qianshan Xue found that these three side courtyards were the size of a football field, and they were quiet compared to facing hateful people.
She was relieved when she thought about it, but she bent down slightly, and she pulled the wound and hurt, she adjusted her mentality, and secretly swore in her heart that even if she was covered in bruises, she would want to be safe and secure.
Next, Qianshan Xue was silently cleaning, and suddenly she felt something, concentrated, and listened, and there was a slight sound behind her that was slowly approaching, she stopped, and the sound stopped, it was the sound of feet stepping on leaves.
"Who?"
Qianshan Xue suddenly turned around and shouted.
It's just that there is no one around, and there is still silence.
But she couldn't be wrong when she heard it.
Qianshan Xue doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she doesn't think there are evil things in this world, but she is still a little afraid, the broom in her hand is tightly held, she slowly walked in the direction of the sound behind her just now, in a hut she hesitated, looking like a firewood room, after a moment she pretended to be calm and stepped in.
The firewood room was very dark and damp, and there were a few black rats in the corner of the wall who saw that she was not afraid, and rushed over to bite back, and suddenly she jumped up and screamed with an "ah", grabbed the broom and swept it, and the black rats ran away in fright.
Qianshan Xue was so angry that she scolded in her heart, it turned out that not only the people here were bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, but this mouse was also the same thing.
In the next moment, a few rats popped out and she slapped without hesitation, from the corner of the east wall to the corner of the west wall, and suddenly a black shadow with a cloak popped out of the corner of the wall at some point, scared Qianshan Xue into screaming, her scream seemed to ignite the nerves of the black shadow, and the black shadow also screamed at her, and the screams of the two confronted each other for a while, and Qianshan Xue was defeated.
"Who are you?" Qianshan Snow tentatively said.
Who knew that this inquiry seemed to ignite something for him again, he suddenly went crazy "Ah, ah......" yelled, the piercing scream smashed into the eardrums, his arms waved wildly, and attacked her violently, the sharp nails slashed the back of her hand, oozing a shallow blood mark, Qianshan Xue didn't care about his crazy attack, she hugged him suddenly.
The madman's body suddenly stiffened, and when Qianshan Xue touched his body, he obviously felt that he was trembling all over, and shouting probably meant that he was afraid.
He was really scared.
Qian Shanxue patted him on the back and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”
The furious shouting gradually stopped, and in this terrible environment, two unfamiliar body temperatures actually raised the temperature of this thin coolness.
After a long time, Qianshan Xue let go of his hand in embarrassment, and then looked at him carefully, although his face was full of dirt, but his appearance was delicate, but he was sixteen or seventeen years old.
After Fang Cai's tossing, he seemed to be curious about Qianshan Xue, turned around to look at her, suddenly paused behind her, and then trembled with fright.
"Don't be afraid, it will be fine in a few days."
He didn't seem to understand, he suddenly turned around and ran, and when Qianshan Xue was suspicious of the fox, he ran back again, still holding a eunuch robe in his hand, and handed it to her.
A hint of gratitude flashed in Qianshanxue's eyes, she had forgotten about this stubble, the eunuch clothes on her body had already been whipped to the point that she was not in shape, and she wanted to change it and clean it again, but she knew that the consequence of doing so was that she was whipped again.
Qianshan Xue said thank you and went to the house to change her clothes, and just about to take it off, she remembered that this madman had been following, and she said helplessly, "You go away, don't look at it." ”
The madman didn't react.
Looks like he's really got his brain broken.
She made another circular gesture and said, "Turn around, don't look." ”
The madman seemed to understand, he made a circle gesture at her, Qianshan Xue was so angry that she held her forehead, it's just that, she is only thirteen years old now, and she doesn't have anything to look at anyway, thinking of this, she took off domineeringly.
