(6) Where it comes from and where it goes
Night fell quickly, and the people who ate and drank in the Taishou Mansion either laughed loudly, or sang indulgently, in short, it was hearty, Dong Zhuo also drank a lot, his wheat-colored face was a little red, and even his brown eyes were dyed slightly drunk.
I obediently stayed in his arms and gnawed on the chicken feet, and I didn't say a word.
"Xiaoxiao, you weren't scared just now, were you?" There was a hint of wine from the end of his nose, Dong Zhuo lowered his head and looked at me.
I looked up at him, probably because of the wine, his hazel eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, and it was incredible.
"Nope." I smiled, but I was a little apprehensive that history seemed to be on track little by little.
…… Except, my appearance.
"Brother Dong, who is this milk doll?" The big man with a beard stepped forward with a snort of wine, slapped a palm on Dong Zhuo's shoulder, and asked with a smile.
"She's ......" Dong Zhuo spoke, but stopped again.
I look up at him, who am I to him? That's not a good thing to say.
"Haha, brother, she shouldn't be the little daughter-in-law you raised!" A man with thick eyebrows next to him looked up and took a sip of wine and laughed.
"That's it, I've been holding it since I just started and haven't let go of it, holding the wine jar in my left hand and the doll in my right hand, hahaha......"
Dong Zhuo pursed his lips slightly, hugged me tighter, and there was a faint look of displeasure on his face: "Don't joke with her, Xiaoxiao is only two years old." ”
When everyone saw that Dong Zhuo was displeased, they didn't say anything more, but shouted: "Drink, drink!" No drunk. ”
The living room was in a mess, and the smell of alcohol was suffocating, so I took advantage of Dong Zhuo's trance to sneak out of the house with a large piece of roast pork knuckle.
Outside, it was already dark. As soon as he left the mansion, he saw Guo Jia sitting in front of the mansion in a daze.
"Why don't you go in?" Walking up behind him, I asked.
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment and raised his head: "I'm waiting for Xiao Mao......"
"Xiaomao?" I was stunned, yes, his little donkey.
"That's Master...... Master, the only thing his old man left me......" Guo Jia said with emotion on his face, and his eyes were teary again.
His master only left him such a small, skinny donkey? Then it seems that this master is also a poor bastard, I stroked my forehead with a little headache, sat down next to him, and saw that his eyes were shining and staring at the roast pork knuckle in my hand without blinking, so I raised my hand and generously tore half of him.
"What's the use of you waiting here?" I tore a piece of meat and threw it into my mouth, and I deliberately stimulated him.
"Xiao Mao will come back." Guo Jia lowered his head and gnawed on the meat lifelessly, vaguely speaking.
"How do you know that Dong Zhuo will come to kill Taishou?" Looking at the oil he nibbled on, I asked again.
"For you." After losing three words, he continued to fight with the roasted pork knuckle.
"For me?"
"Dong Zhuo is chivalrous and has a lot of Qianghu friends, so he will definitely not be trapped in Qianghu. And that evil Taishou didn't know that death had moved his most important thing, Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and cruel by nature, and he would definitely not spare him. "Xu is eating other people's mouths, Guo Jia explained it very well.
Although I was dissatisfied with him calling me a "thing", although I was dissatisfied with him that Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and cruel by nature, but he made such a conclusion based on these alone, looking at Guo Jia with a mouth full of oil in front of me, I had to sigh softly A person is not good-looking, at such an age, it is really terrible to be able to see through people's hearts.
As he was talking, a strange sound suddenly came.
I looked up, dumbfounded, a little donkey was spinning not far in front of the mansion, it was clearly Guo Jia's lifeline Xiao Mao!
He was right again.
"Xiao Mao!" Guo Jia had already jumped up to meet him, and handed the only small piece of meat left in his hand to Xiao Mao's mouth, and the little donkey stretched out his tongue to lick it and swallowed it in one gulp.
I can't cry or laugh, donkeys who eat meat? Well, my perception of the world has been refreshed again.
"It's time for me to go." Turning around, Guo Jia raised his sleeve to wipe the oil stains on his mouth, and said.
"Where?" I stood up, somewhat surprised.
"Traveling around, Master said that I will definitely do something great in the future." Guo Jia said with a smile, "Anyway, the goddess has seen it, and the master's last life has been completed." ”
"Finally got acquainted, parting is imminent, let me tell you a story." I smiled and narrowed my eyes, and said suddenly.
"What's the story?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, revealing a stupid expression.
"It is said that a long, long time ago, the seven fairies of the heavenly court went down to the world, and when they were taking a bath, they were inadvertently discovered by the man Dong Yong in the world, Dong Yong fell in love with the seven fairies, so he secretly hid her dress, without that dress, the seven fairies could not return to the heavenly court, so she stayed in the world and formed a happy couple with Dong Yong." I said with a smile.
"Huh? So? Guo Jia was confused.
…… Sure enough, it's not a normal child, listen to the story, listen to the story, how can there be so many problems, I smiled, and looked at the little donkey with some ill will: "I mean, if you don't want the little hair to leave you again......" I deliberately dragged out my voice.
"Huh?" Guo Jia really looked curious about the baby's appearance.
"So he cut it and hid it." I'm serious.
When Guo Jia heard this, he turned his head and stared at Xiao Mao a little strangely, as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of saying this.
At this moment, I seemed to see the extremely strong resentment in Xiao Mao's eyes, and I couldn't help laughing at the moment.
"Well, it's time for me to go." Guo Jia looked at it for a long time, as if he had made some decision.
"By the way, that day, you didn't finish speaking, what did your master tell you to say to the goddess?" Stopping laughing, I asked.
"Where do you come from, where do you go......" Guo Jia turned around and led the little donkey away, leaving only a faint sentence flying in the wind, very chic.
Where did it come from and where did it go? I stood there in a daze, speechless for a moment.
What does that mean? Could it be the prophecy given to me by Guo Jia's powerful master? I repeated it several times and pondered it carefully, could it be...... Does this mean, I can go back?
Thinking of this, I can't help but jump a little excited.
Since Master Guo Jiana was able to predict my appearance, the credibility of this prophecy is very high now!
I turned around briskly, and then I was stunned, Dong Zhuo was standing behind me, and the expression on his face was very complicated.
When did he come? How much did you hear?
"Zhong Ying?" I whispered with some trepidation.
"Well, let's go home." Dong Zhuo came back to his senses, stepped forward with a smile, and picked me up.
It turned out that I don't know when, those Qianghu people have already dispersed, Dong Zhuo hugged me and slowly walked back to the thatched house.
I leaned on his shoulder and looked back in the direction of the Taishou Mansion.
"Do you want to live in that big house?" Dong Zhuo's voice sounded under the night sky.
I shook my head and said, "I don't want to." ”
"Why?" Dong Zhuo looked at me in surprise.
Because, if we have always lived in that thatched hut, if you have always been just an ordinary person, then you will not become the Dong Taishi in history who has countless infamy, was lit with sky lanterns, and finally died well......
"Because Xiaoxiao likes to live in a grass hut." I hugged his neck and whispered.
"Stupid." Dong Zhuo laughed and pinched my nose, just because I was a child and made awkward noise.
Dong Zhuo was not able to become the Liangzhou Taishou after all, and the imperial court quickly appointed a new Taishou, and the Taishou did not pursue the matter of the previous Taishou, and also appointed Dong Zhuo as the Liangzhou Soldier and Horse Peng, specifically to deal with the Qianghu people. Fan Chou didn't know what his idea was, so he invited himself to be transferred to Dong Zhuo's subordinates.
When I learned the news, I was not very surprised, the pace of history is approaching step by step with the force that I cannot stop.
This year, it is the ninth year of Yanxi, I vaguely remember that Yanxi is the sixth year of Emperor Huan, this era name has been used for ten years, and the year name will be changed to Yongkang next year, and then Emperor Huan will hang up soon after, followed by Emperor Ling Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, these two are the masters of the favored eunuchs, and the two of them were probably the darkest time in the Eastern Han Dynasty when they became emperors......
"Smile, don't run! Take a bath! Dong Zhuo's voice sounded high in the small grass hut, and I naturally staggered around the steaming small wooden barrel, it was really a tiger falling in Pingyang, this girl has been in the art for decades, and has never staged a scene of "beauty bathing", in the hands of this Dong Zhuo, it is simply ruined...... No, I ended up sitting in the barrel with hatred and letting him wash and wipe me clean.
How could this little arm and leg outrun Master Dong Zhuo!
"Zhong Ying, why don't you take a bath yourself!" Turning my head to look at his long, unkempt hair, I grinded my teeth with a very aggrieved expression.
Even though I didn't wash for ten days, I was caught taking a shower every day...... Even if this girl is still "young", but in view of the history of this Lord Dong's reputation is really not good...... Nothing like that......
"Xiaoxiao is a daughter's family, and you won't be able to get married if you don't take a bath." With three points of pampering, he reached out and tapped my nose and smiled.
Coaxing a child's tone...... I wrinkled my nose and let him wipe me clean.
Dong Zhuo saw that I gave up resistance and obediently complied, and pinched my nose with a smile: "I'll make you bee candy rice cakes to eat at night." ”
I grinned and nodded.
Dong Zhuo's image in film and television dramas has always been poor, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a face full of meat, but I think people also have adolescence...... Thinking of his ending, the young man in front of him, Dong Zhuo, was so bright that people didn't dare to look at it directly.
After taking a shower, I was a little sleepy, so I bored and picked up the rattle placed at the head of the bed and shook it for a while, then leaned on the wooden pillow and closed my eyes to dream of Zhou Gong.
That little kid must be crying.
Thinking of that unlucky little medicine pot, I laugh even in my dreams. In the past two years, that unlucky little medicine jar has become an important spiritual entertainment in my boring life, which shows how boring I am.
In the blink of an eye, another year passed, and after ten years of Yanxi, Dong Zhuo became the military commander of Zhonglang General Zhang Huan, and was soon promoted to Langzhong again.
In June of this year, the imperial court announced to the world that the name of the year was changed to Yongkang, which was the first year of Yongkang, and then in December of this year, Emperor Huan really hung up.
At this time, those big things have nothing to do with me, and as a small child, I can do very little every day, except eat, drink, and have fun. It was probably because of Master Guo Jia's prophecy that my mind became lighter.
Year after year passed, Dong Zhuo was promoted quickly, and our family finally moved from the dilapidated thatched house to the spacious and bright house. The food and clothing are becoming more and more refined, but I am becoming more and more unhappy, because the prophecy has not been fulfilled, and year after year, I am still trapped in the quagmire of history, unable to go back to my time.
So I thought, I really need an opportunity to go back, and all I can think of is that mobile phone. I began to use all means to find the mobile phone that Dong Zhuo had hidden, and wanted to get in touch with that time and space. Although this sounds a bit ridiculous, in this era when there are no communication devices, how can it be possible to contact people in another time and space, but when I first arrived in this era, I did hear the mobile phone ringing, not to mention, even crossing this kind of thing happened to me, what else is impossible?
Countless times pestered Dong Zhuo to ask about him, he took care of him, I had to rummage through the cabinets by myself, but I still found nothing.
By the time I was able to get to all the cupboards, I was fifteen years old.
I thought that time would be difficult, but it turned out that it was not, and fifteen years seemed to pass all at once.
Sitting at the head of the bed, I quietly lowered my head and fiddled with a bunch of small things on the bed like a stall, the first thing on the left hand side was a moon-white jacket that had broken a few small holes, it was the first birthday gift that Dong Zhuo gave me on a snowy day when I was two years old; The second piece on the left is a small, hand-carved puppet doll......
Since he was two years old, Dong Zhuo would keep his promise to give me a birthday gift every snowy day, and for more than ten years, no matter how busy he was, he never broke his promise, even if he marched and fought, he would never forget. So this body has been from the age of two to the age of fifteen now, and has accumulated bits and pieces of colorful birthday gifts, which is really more than any child in Liangzhou City.
Dong Zhuo did what he said, and what I got was really more than anyone else, all of which were better.
Looking down and fiddling with the hand-carved puppet doll, I suddenly felt a little sour in my heart, "Where did I come from, where did I go", Guo Jian's words before leaving one day have been echoing in my ears for more than ten years. In the beginning, I looked forward to opening my eyes every day and finding that everything here was just a dream, but nothing like this ever happened. Later, I thought that it was not a way to wait for the rabbit, so I began to look for an opportunity to go back, I was looking for the mobile phone that was hidden by Dong Zhuo all the time, and I wanted to leave this troubled world as soon as possible.
Because...... I didn't think that in the end, when I was able to go back, I had lost the courage to go back, I was afraid...... Leaving too much worry and reluctance.
Dong Zhuo's fate was like a sharp blade hanging above my head, making it difficult for me to swallow and sleep. At the beginning, I looked at this period of history as an outsider, of course I didn't care, but now, I am trapped in it, and the so-called heinous and angry Dong Zhuo is Zhong Ying, who loves me, spoils me, and guards me as a treasure for fifteen years!
"Miss, your snacks are ready." At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful and gentle woman in blue clothes stood at the door, smiling.
"Bell." I came back to my senses and exhaled softly.
Ling'er was picked up at the market when I was ten years old, and she was being bullied by a group of ruffians at the age of sixteen, perhaps because of her starry eyes, and I was almost beaten to death by those ruffians who had always been nosy. Of course, when I was unkempt and even pulled the bell back to the mansion with scars, Dong Zhuo was furious, arrested all those ruffians, and put them in the government prison, which is said to have not been released until now......
That year, Dong Zhuo had already been appointed to Hedong Taishou.
Since then, Ling'er has never forgotten my life-saving grace, and because her parents died, there was nowhere to go, so she stayed in the Taishou Mansion to wait for me.
"Miss is in a daze again." Ling'er walked into the bedroom, put the plate of snacks on the table, and walked to me with a smile.
"Just thinking about something." I glanced out the window and said, "Is it snowing outside?" ”
"Well, there's a lot of snow."
It's snowing again......
I laughed, and my eyes suddenly fell on a somewhat worn and inconspicuous rattle, the only one in the pile that was not given by Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, I remembered the small medicine jar with a yellow face and thin muscles, dragging two tubes of green snot, after more than ten years, thinking of the unlucky and unfortunate little minister, I still have a feeling of can't help laughing.
"Help me get that little wooden box." Pointing to the small wooden box on the dresser, I said.
Ling'er answered and took it as he said.
I took a silver hairpin from the mess of things that had been laid out in a row, which was made by Dong Zhuo himself, and which I received as a birthday present when I was ten years old when it snowed at the beginning of the snow. Raising his hand and inserting the silver hairpin into his sideburns, he turned to the bronze mirror and smiled, and the bright girl in the mirror saw that I was in a trance for a while.
Ling'er knew that I must have gone to ask for a gift again, so she turned around and poured the snacks on the table into a small embroidered bag that I tied around my waist: "Your Excellency is in the front hall, be careful not to disturb him." She gently persuaded.
"Hmm." I smiled and nodded, and pulled the embroidered bag around my waist. The bag was made by me with the help of Ling'er, the lotus-colored embroidered bag, tied around the waist is also chic, and it is easy to take when you want to eat snacks, which is very convenient.
"Miss, I'll pack these things, you can go." Ling'er said, very skillfully cleaning up.
I was so happy that I nodded, turned and walked out.
For fifteen years, Dong Zhuo has been used to a downright smile, a smile that has almost forgotten An Ruo's nature......
"Miss." As soon as I turned the hallway, I heard Fan Chou's voice.
Stop, I don't really want to pay attention to him, I can't forget that this guy once teamed up with that bastard Taishou to rip out my heart as a medicine primer.
Fan Chou approached me with a wry smile, holding a mink coat in his hand: "Miss, put it on, otherwise the adults will be angry again." ”
I ignored him, turned around and headed straight for the antechamber.
Standing at the gate, I tilted my head to see Dong Zhuo and several subordinates discussing in the hall.
"Well, that's all for today, let's stay and eat." Dong Zhuo suddenly opened his mouth and stopped the discussion.
I knew that he had spotted me, so I stood at the door and waited for him to present the gift.
"Why do you wear so little and stand in the snow, don't come in quickly." Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at me, then his brows furrowed slightly, he stood up and walked quickly towards me,
I stood there with a smile as he approached me, then looked up at him, pursed his lips and took my cold hand in displeasure and took me into his arms.
This familiar embrace, which is no longer familiar, is still the same warmth.
"You're willful again, didn't you let Fan Chou get you a big one?" He furrowed his brow tightly, and the look of displeasure made his already majestic face a little terrifying, but I knew that his slightly brown eyes must have been the usual indulgent gentleness.
Fifteen years is enough time for me to eat him.
Seeing that I was unmoved, Dong Zhuo finally sighed, and held me in his arms like when I was a child: "It's like this every time, how can it be good to be really sick." ”
I curled my lips and reached out, "Where's the gift?" ”
The frowning brows loosened, and Dong Zhuo laughed: "What do you want?" ”
"You know." I said as if I was coquettish.
Yes, he knows, I just want my phone back.
An unknown emotion flashed through his eyes, and I couldn't see it clearly: "This, full of dissatisfaction? He juggled a small leather bag from behind him.
The small leather bag wears a pair of bows and arrows, the bow body is less than a foot long, and the bow is also carved with strange and complex patterns, which are matched with three silver arrows, each silver arrow is connected with thin soft wire, which is extremely elastic, and can be quickly withdrawn after shooting, which is very beautiful.
Quite a thoughtful gift.
"Didn't you always want to have your own bow and arrow?" Dong Zhuo shook the bow and arrow in the small leather bag in his hand and said with a smile.
I reached out and took it from him, and when I tried it, I couldn't help but like it. Ever since I was beaten by a ruffian when I was ten years old in order to save Ling'er, I wondered if I couldn't go back for a while, and it was more reliable to learn a skill to defend myself, so I tried my best to ask Dong Zhuo to teach me archery.
In five years, I can be regarded as having no arrows, but I hate Dong Zhuo and said that he was afraid that I would be injured, and he never gave me a bow and arrow except for pestering him to practice on weekdays.
"This * silver arrow was created by a famous craftsman in Luoyang, and it is the only one in the world." Seeing that I couldn't put it down, Dong Zhuo seemed to smile a little proudly.
I put the bow and arrow in my leather bag: "Thank you, Zhongying." ”
I smiled sweetly, trying to ignore the darkness in my heart.
For more than ten years, whenever I asked him for a birthday present, he knew what I wanted, but he always looked at him left and right, carved puppet dolls and hairpins by himself...... I couldn't refuse everything, so it took more than ten years......
And now, even if I find my phone and find a clue to go back, can I really leave without worry?
