Chapter 11: Red Lotus
With a "bump", the heavy stone gate fell down, instantly cutting off the crazy hustle and bustle in the field, and the dark corridor fell into unprecedented tranquility.
"Follow closely, don't fall behind!" The leader said in a calm voice, but there was a hint of joy on his face that could not hide it. This victory has made him a lot of money, at least promotion is inevitable!
The flickering light of the fire elongated the thin figures of the children, and now their faces were no longer the youthfulness and fear they had come, replaced by a terrifying maturity and indifference in their eyes. Such a cold look also made the leader restrain a lot, and his attitude was much better than before.
Ye Yu followed silently, compared to the maturity and indifference of other children, he was more calm and calm at this time. This special temperament that arises from surviving the heart tribulation makes his whole person more mysterious and erratic. No one knows what he's thinking! This unique temperament exudes from the inside out. Even some true service powerhouses do not have it. After all, it is easy to cultivate externally and difficult to cultivate internally, it is easy to refine the body, but it is difficult to refine the mind!
There was a heavy metal grinding sound, and the rusty iron door was slowly pulled again. The harsh sunlight shone through the darkness on the emaciated bodies of the children.
"Alright, let's all come out!"
Hearing this, the children rushed out. Glancing at the darkness behind him, Ye Yu also followed closely out of the road.
"One, two, three,... Nine. , Zhao Laosan! What shit luck did you go this time! A strong man said in amazement.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense! Hurry inside, Andy and their team have already started! ”
"What kind of ** talent can that young calf choose! You kid won a lot of money this time! Hearing this, the leader hurriedly waved his hand, but his face was full of joy that could not be concealed.
Ignoring the jealous gazes of everyone, the leader took Ye Yu and them away.
"Third child, remember to treat you when you are promoted!" The strong man behind him shouted at the top of his voice.
"I know it!"
"Alas, grandma's, I don't know if I have his shit luck! Phew, Phew, Phew! The strong man shook his head and led the children behind him into the corridor.
By the old well, by the curtain.
"Poof", a bucket of cold water was poured on the head. "Ahh Ye Yu screamed softly and looked around slightly. I saw that the bathroom, which was originally a little noisy, seemed much quieter at this time. There was a sound of rushing water, a few swaying figures, but the conversation between each other was rarely heard. Through the bright moonlight, Ye Yu could vaguely see a naked shadow not far away.
By the moonlight reflected in the basin, the girl carefully wiped the scars on her face with wet wipes. "Everyone has a love for beauty!" Ye Yu sighed secretly. I saw that the scar was not short, it spread from the front cheek to the jawbone, and the muscles around the wound seemed to be a little red and swollen, and the tender flesh rolled out of the scar looked a little hideous and terrifying under the weak light and shadow.
The girl's movements are very light, so light that you can only see her slight movements for most of the day. This step-by-step strategy seems to be working, and the girl just holds the wipes and pushes forward little by little. However, in the weak moonlight, the "mirror" did not seem to be very powerful, and almost pressed her face against the basin, and the girl could barely see her own physiognomy clearly.
"Cough" Ye Yu coughed lightly, his consciousness moved, and a delicate mirror appeared on his hand. "Oops!" The girl was slightly startled, and she missed her scar by mistake!
"Stinky boy! Ahem, what ahem! The girl said angrily.
"Uh, I'm sorry!" Ye Yu strolled over.
"Huh! Why don't you get dressed! Seeing that Ye Yu was naked, the girl frowned and said with disdain.
"Didn't you see I'm taking a shower?" Ye Yu said depressedly, "Besides, aren't you wearing nothing too!" ”
The girl is older, and she is a little shy when she hears the words, but after all, she is still young, and she is not so strict with the defense of men and women. "What are you looking for me for?"
"Here's for you!" Ye Yu handed over the mirror and said nonchalantly.
"Wow, what a beautiful mirror!" The girl took the mirror and couldn't help but admire.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that the girl took the mirror and walked out, Ye Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Look in the mirror, of course! You can see a little better from the outside! ”
"For what!" Ye Yu asked suspiciously, he didn't understand why he had to go outside to look in the mirror to be clearer. ,
"It's bright outside! In this way, the reflection can be clearer! You wouldn't have been to school! Seeing Ye Yu asking such a mentally retarded question, the girl said with disdain.
"Do you all need light in the mirror?"
"Nonsense! Yes! Suddenly, the girl screamed. In the dim light, I saw my own clear face appear in the mirror.
"It's... What kind of mirror is this? It can't be a magic mirror! The girl exclaimed. This kind of glass mirror, commonly used in aristocratic families, adopts the principle of total reflection and astigmatism, and can be used as usual without a light source no matter night or day. The girl has lived in slums and orphanages since she was a child, and she has never seen such a thing.
"Isn't this just an ordinary mirror?" Ye Yu, who has lived in the Baron's Mansion since he was a child, has never seen a really ordinary mirror.
The girl was pleasantly surprised by the delicate and powerful shape of the mirror, and she fell in love with it for a while.
"Hey, how do you have this mirror!" The girl suddenly wondered.
"It's none of your business! Forget no! Ye Yu really didn't want to recall the past days, that would only increase sadness.
Seeing that Ye Yu's face was cloudy and overcast, the girl pursed her lips, but closed her mouth in time!
Ye Yu didn't stay long, and walked out after putting on his clothes. It was the end of winter, and the weak evening breeze was slightly chilly, and Ye Yu was not afraid of the cold, but he was not without feeling. On the contrary, his senses are more sensitive than others.
The place where Ye Yu and the others were arranged was an independent small courtyard, and on the periphery of this courtyard was a grassland that was not very vast. The layout of this place is very strange, often the buildings are far apart, the mountains and rivers are connected, the buildings are scattered, or the two are a whole in their own right.
With his hands on his pillow, Ye Yu lay on the grassland, staring at the night sky, enjoying the long-lost tranquility and comfort. Under the vast starry sky, a bright moon looks dazzling. Once upon a time, I made an agreement with someone to meet on the moon. In the blink of an eye, his family has been ruined, and he has fallen to this unknown place, and he doesn't know what his future fate will be.
Suddenly, there was the sound of Suosuo's footsteps.
"Come out!" Ye Yu said lightly.
The girl pouted and walked out, "Here's for you!" The girl reluctantly handed over the mirror in her hand, but her eyes were full of reluctance. At this time, how much she hoped that Ye Yu could say generously: "I don't want this, I'll give it to you!" But Ye Yu's ruthless hands still took the mirror in an instant. Disappointment was written all over the girl's face.
"You're disappointed?" Ye Yu suddenly asked.
"Ahh No! The girl hurriedly denied it.
"Oh, forget it, I was going to give it to you."
"Really?" Hearing this, the girl was pleasantly surprised.
"I don't think you care too much, so forget it!"
"Who said that!" The girl pounced on Ye Yu, reached out to grab the mirror in his hand, and said excitedly: "I care, I care, I was very disappointed just now!" ”
Ye Yu was entangled by her, so she paused and said, "It's okay to have a mirror, but you have to promise me one condition." ”
"What conditions, I agreed, you give it to me!" As she spoke, the girl started to grab it again.
"Shh Ye Yu suddenly made a silent gesture to her, and at this time, a faint sound of footsteps came. A moment later, an emaciated figure appeared in front of them.
"Buck! What are you doing here! The girl asked coldly.
"I... I'm looking for the boss! Buck glanced at Ye Yu and said weakly.
"Boss?" Ye Yu wondered.
"Stupid, he means, he wants to recognize you as a big brother!" The girl said angrily that he had been mixed with the slums in the orphanage since he was a child, and he saw this more thoroughly than Ye Yu.
Nabuck nodded hurriedly, he was a coward. used to rely on his cousin's power in the orphanage, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Now that my cousin is dead, I have survived by luck. But there was no backer, which made him very uncomfortable. He needs a strong man to back him up.
"I'm not going to be your big brother!" Ye Yu shook his head, "But if someone bullies you in the future, I will cover you!" This sentence was often said by Lu Dan'er before, but now it has been learned and used by him. This Buck is not bad in nature, although he is a little cowardly, but he has a lot of feelings for people. Besides, after all, it was brought out by himself, and although there is no responsibility problem, it is okay to take care of it.
"Xie Lu, Xie Boss!" ,
"Don't call me boss in the future!"
"Yes, Boss!"
"Then what will you call me in the future?" The girl interjected.
"Eh", Nabuck thought for a while, and said respectfully: "Hello eldest sister!" ”
"Eldest sister, good! Call me big sister in the future! ”
Ye Yu shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”
"Yes, Boss!" Nabak hurriedly bowed down happily.
"Congratulations on taking on another little brother!" Ye Yu shook his head helplessly, he was still not very comfortable with this set among the free people. In the code of nobility, people are equal to each other, and even if he meets the earl, he only needs to perform the noble courtesy, and there is no need to grovel. In the aristocracy, which enjoyed great privileges, it was difficult to understand the struggle between the freemen and the slaves.
"Give me the mirror!"
"You haven't agreed to my terms?"
"What conditions? Say it! ”
"Let me kiss you in the eye!" Staring at the girl's eyes, Ye Yu said lightly.
"What?"
"I'm going to kiss your eyes, and I'll kiss whenever I want in the future! You can't say no! Do you promise? ”
"This!" The girl hesitated, "Why don't you change the conditions!" ”
Ye Yu shook his head, these eyes are too much like his mother, and other parts can't be replaced!
After thinking for a moment, the girl gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "Deal!" In this way, for the sake of a mirror, she sold the kissing right of her eyes to Ye Yu, and the deadline was for a lifetime.
"Congratulations, the mirror is yours!" After speaking, Ye Yu smiled and handed over the mirror.
"Great!" The girl took the mirror and played with it carefully, looking unable to put it down.
"I'm going to kiss now!"
"Ahh Am I not ready for this? Or next time! ”
"Give me back the mirror!"
"Okay, okay! Kiss it! The girl closed her eyes helplessly, looking like she was picking up.
Ye Yu carefully kissed the big smart eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to the Baron's Palace, to his mother's arms, to his once warm home.
It was a long time before his lips left. Opening her eyes, the girl wiped the saliva from her eyelids and said angrily: "The next time you kiss, don't drool again!" It's dirty! As he spoke, he rubbed his hand against his clothes.
"What's your name?" Ye Yu asked.
The "Lotus" girl was dissatisfied.
"Where's the last name?"
"I was born without a surname!" The girl said even more angrily.
Ye Yu was silent, he knew that only slaves have no surname.
"You won't look down on me, will you!"
"Of course not!" Ye Yu hurriedly shook his head, "Why don't I give you a surname!" ”
"Hmph, you're not a nobleman, why do you give me my surname!" The girl pouted disdainfully.
"At least I'm the master of your eyes!"
"Okay!" The girl nodded helplessly, "Then what did you say my last name was?" ”
"Your surname is Red! From now on, you will be called Red Lotus! ”
"Red Lotus! It's pretty good! Okay, I'll be called Red Lotus from now on."
Ye Yu didn't know what to do, his whim at the moment had created the famous Shadow Red Lotus in the future!
