Chapter 004, sisterhood
Jiang Yangshen near the intersection of Binhe Road bubbled to the east, like a sparse light falling in, like a Jiao into the abyss.
With nothing to do, the look of loss in Hua Congee's eyes became stronger and stronger, and she looked at the crowds on both sides of the street from time to time.
"Knock", "Knock", "Knock......"
The war drums were like thunder, sounding on the side of the city gate tower, and the black fog in the air continued to surge out, far and near, flying up and down...
"Kill", "kill", "kill"!
There were shouts of killing everywhere, and many living people, soldiers in the city, ironheads, and even evil spirits that had not been seen for a long time were like being beaten into several phalanxes.
The open space above Baihuaquan Square became a muddy place, and the puddles of blood were red and miserable.
"Evil spirits, there aren't many demon Gu left...... Let's take a look!" a pale scholar looked like he was dressed in a windy garment from the perspective of flower porridge.
"This siege was a refugee at first, and then mixed with a few demons. It's terrifying, it's not like we can advance and retreat freely, and most of the Lord Protectors still reveal some secrets to his cronies. "There was opposition.
"No, the new emperor has always ruled Qingming. There will never be such a perversion of selfishness. The pale scholar returned. Behind him was a bamboo basket full of books, which were crumbling as if they might fall and hit his head at any moment.
Speaking of his head, Hua Congee saw that he was thinner than himself in winter, and the gray scarf of the bachelor was a style often worn on books in the summer school.
Isn't it tiring to carry these books on your back every day, and why don't you put them at home?
"Your skills are not as good as others, go back and practice hard, don't talk nonsense here... The pale scholar was indignant in his heart, and said with a deep face.
"The protector of the country can be said to be a bamboo in his chest, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles. The other quickly diverted the subject.
......
......
Eventually, in the evening, the black fog over the city gradually thinned. The sun rose again, looking out of the black haze like a lonely egg yolk.
"Hum-aren't you in a hurry, thanks to you, Lao Tzu has to spend it with you. The fat slave owner woke up soundly, and what he said was indeed true, yesterday a dozen slaves were sold out, and only a huge iron cage and the flower porridge in the cage were left in the whole stall.
This time he was much more laid-back. I made a big fish and big meat, put a bamboo basket and kept eating!
"What about the second silly sister?" When Hua Congee woke up from her dream, the second silly sister was no longer there, but she had a few more pieces of clean gauze on her body, and Hua Congee knew that the second silly sister must have worked hard at night to get better in the morning.
Because the flower porridge never talked to him, and even looked at him less, so the fat slave owner didn't take the stubble of the flower porridge, he was completely talking to himself: "Good tea, good tea!"
"What about the second silly sister?" Hua Congee didn't believe it at all, the second silly sister was like a phantom, she only stayed in her life for one night, and then disappeared without a trace. "What did you do to her!"
"Who?" the fat slave owner snorted angrily, took an iron rod, and through the iron cage, poked at the wound of Hua Congee: "The slave is nothing more than dead and sold." What does it have to do with you. ”
"You don't have to worry. No, there will be another war, and someone will become a slave again. The fat slave master gritted his teeth and picked up the most disgusting words in his ears and scolded, while poking the flower porridge with his hand.
After another half an hour, the direction of the city gate was finally much quieter, the roar disappeared, and after a while, someone staggered out.
Some of them were disheveled, some were pale. Some were badly wounded, and many had horrific scratches on their bodies. Some have had their arms partially torn off.
It's like going back to a traumatic memory from my childhood.
In the midst of the devastation, Hua Congee hummed the lullaby that his father sang when he died in battle: "The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep." The sky is yellow, the ground is yellow, and there is a night crying man in my house. ——”
"Don't beat her, don't get hurt, it's easy to sell slaves?"
A beggar, in rags, without shoes, carrying an untimely broken stick. With a simple look, he stepped forward and asked with concern.
". Not to mention, the evil spirit breaks through the sky, maybe there will be another wave, and the Tianyuan Kingdom will be destroyed. ”
With the old beggar's dirty face, there was a big cat that suddenly jumped into the eyes of Hua Congee.
Strictly speaking, it's a three-legged cat.
"Damn it!"
The old beggar snapped.
When the cat heard the call, it was startled and looked at it with grinned teeth.
Hua Congee looked left and right, not knowing who the old beggar grandfather was calling.
"It's her, she's damned. Don't be nervous, young master. The old beggar lowered himself and caressed the black cat's hesitant voice. The beast crouched down, grunting and gasping for words.
"What?" 'Young Master?'" The fat slave owner looked at each other in confusion, these two should not know each other. He carefully looked at the face of the slave girl in the cage, and thought, "Small nose, big eyes, thin like a spirit fox." Young Master?" He shook his head with difficulty convincing himself.
"Uh-huh?" Raising the corners of her eyes, Hua Congee curled up her cold feet, stretched her toes, and touched the cat through the iron cage. Say.
"Hmm!" Hua Congee glared at the cat, and the cat glared at her, "Damn!
The cat lay on the iron cage with both feet, and his eyes dodged, but he didn't relax!
"Okay! It seems that your wings are stiff, and it is not easy for my half-medical skills to save your other three legs—believe it or not, the miscellaneous family is now telling you to become two-legged!" the old beggar got up and sat up straight, almost angry, and snorted and scolded: "Don't blame me, I have a life-saving grace for you...... If you don't go, how dare you give me if you don't go!"
Hua Congee saw that the cat's three legs were standing straight, and she actually stretched out two front legs and put them on her arms, and the remaining leg behind her also wanted to enter the cage.
The fat slave owner was disgusted, and directly took the shoes under his feet, and wanted to hit the cat, "Meow-" and ran away with a scream.
"She's the young master of Qingshan, you can't beat her. "The old beggar has dizzy eyes, a white beard and white hair, wrinkles and wrinkles, and speaks like a white chrysanthemum that walks vigorously.
"Who is the young master of Qingshan?" asked the fat slave owner.
"My cat! she's the damned young master of the green mountains!" replied the old beggar.
"Old fool, I think it's you, right?"
The shoe clearly fell in front of the cat, and the cat scurried back, grabbing the fat slave owner's leg.
The fat slave owner jumped to his feet in anger, and as soon as the cat came out of the cat, he lay back in the corner of the iron cage, and the tragedy began to repeat itself, "Uh-huh?" Raising the corner of his eye, Hua Porridge curled up her cold feet, stretched her toes, and touched the cat. Say.
"Hmm!" Hua Congee glared at the cat, and the cat glared at her, and the "damn cat" finally relented, and lifted the stubby hind leg that had been amputated in half, so that the owner's cold hands stretched out, and shoveled a pair of shovels under his belly.
"Yes, it seems that your wings are stiff, and I have a life-saving grace for you. We have a lifelong friendship...... "The old beggar is not a person who can settle down, and his hand is stuffed into the cat's belly to warm it for a while.
The old beggar and his cat staggered away.
After watching the street scene one day, in the evening, it was like blood again, and the fat slave owner carefully checked all the shackles of the flower porridge, and still didn't feel at ease, so he added another copper lock to the iron lock, and finally left.
Before leaving, he glared at him viciously, as a warning before relenting.
The ones who should go are gone, the second stupid sister is gone, and even the three-legged cat is the beggar grandfather's.
......
......
"Sister Flower Porridge ......"
"Sister Flower Porridge ......"
After a few sounds, the hoarse and strange cry rang in my ears, and the voice rang in my ears when I was drowsy.
Recently, I have been making mistakes.
When my mother left, I was only three or two years old; I really couldn't believe that the mother who smelled good was gone by accident; others said that she was dead, and she would not come back, and she would not come back to hug the porridge; Hua Congee didn't believe that there were so many people in the world, why only her own mother would disappear.
So, she often went to the entrance of the village to wait.
Every time the remnant sun is like blood, she will hear her mother call her "porridge ......" in the wind messily
Shouted three times and five times......
Her father told her that it wasn't her mother calling her.
That's an auditory hallucination.
When you miss someone extremely, you will have auditory hallucinations, as well as visual hallucinations.
When Hua Congee opened his eyes, he was sure that his father had said this.
The second silly sister was standing outside the iron cage vividly, calling her, and I don't know what kind of stick or something was poking the two locks.
"Dead fatty! Two locks, he can figure it out......" The second stupid sister was quick to speak, as if it was such a pleasant thing to scold people like this; The other hand has a huge palm, and keeps poking the shoulder that is not injured in the flower porridge.
"Second silly sister, I know you are good to my sister. But I have to tell you, this is an illusion...... "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom" says: Suspicion gives birth to dark ghosts, this is the case!" Hua Congee was confused and reluctant to wake up, she was afraid that the second stupid sister would disappear like a cigarette.
"Silly sister, you touch the slave's face......" The second fool had already opened the door lock, holding iron and copper on the left and right, so he could only hold the flower porridge between his elbows and let her touch his face.
After tossing for a long time, when she finally understood that it was not a dream, she looked at the open iron door and suddenly cried.
"Don't get too excited, sister. The second fool smiled arrogantly.
"But what is the situation? Where have you been? Why have you come back here?" Hua Congee asked a few questions, and then burst out: "Also, why do you have this trick to open the lock only by a rooster and a dog thief?"
"My nerdy sister. You don't have to be in a hurry...... "The second stupid sister dragged the flower porridge and rushed out to Zhang Yu, panting like a cow, bending over and hunching over for a long time before saying: "You are so stupid? The door is open, just run, why do you ask so much? Not to mention, the slave family is mixed in the rivers and lakes, all kinds of kitchens, maids, no one is good at stubble, no little skills, the head has already moved......
She was right, she didn't rely on her to save her several times.
will see a doctor, connect the collarbone, eat and drink together, which two stupid sisters are not dealt with in the wind and water, like a mud dragon into the sea, like a phoenix singing for nine days.
"I'm afraid you'll be affected. Hua Congee still looked bitter and asked her worriedly.
"No, it won't. In the morning, when you were sleeping, the slave family was taken by the prince and bought back to his house. The slave family has always believed that friends should be blessed and share hardships, no, as soon as they are free, they will come to you!"
"Tianyuan Kingdom has always been known for its strict laws, and those who run away from slaves will sit in the ...... of the nine clans" Hua Congee finished with a heavy face, and a dodge had already turned around and ran in the direction where he went back to the cage.
"Good. Good. Grandma, the slave family is alone, where did the Nine Clans come from...... "The second stupid sister is tall and has a large body profile, so she pulled the flower porridge back with one handful.
"No, I can't. Even if it's you, I can't bother you!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
After some stiff tugging, the second silly sister prevailed, and the two sides finally reached an agreement: "Flower porridge go to the second fool's place to take a bath, and then send the flower porridge back to the iron cage to stay, waiting for others to buy it." ”
The bazaar seems to be near, and there are crowds of people from far and near, some out of the city and some in the direction of entering the city, bare loess hills, and a few plants.
There are injuries everywhere in the legs and feet, I suspect that the flower porridge walks slowly, a dodge, agile, carrying a sack and pinching the back of the shoulder, and the second stupid sister directly carried the flower porridge.
Maybe she was used to doing rough work, and her hands and feet were energetic, but instead she was tired for a long time, saying, "I want to come down, and I ...... go by myself."
"Why ?......" The second fool was angry and a little puzzled: "This is not good-"
"Yes......" Hua Congee hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say anything.
"You ......" The second silly sister turned her head and saw that her flower porridge sister had a red face, and the tiny beads of sweat on her forehead were shining under the sun. "Strange thing, the slave family is carrying you, why is my sister sweating profusely?"
"You don't have to be so nervous, if my sister and I are sick in the future, sister, you can also carry the slave family!" The second stupid sister tried her two arms to cover the calf part of the flower porridge.
At first, Hua Congee thought that the second stupid sister was afraid of hurting the wound on her buttocks, but later I learned that it was actually a man's gentleman's hand.
Hua Congee didn't dare to meet the eyes of the second stupid sister, but since she knew herself, she always had to drag down a girl younger than herself. Hua Congee shrank down as much as she could, and looked at the side of the road in the second fool's eye, and several people pointed and smiled.
"I'm going to come down...... "Hua Congee twisted her body and slipped down.
The second fool could only squat down by taking advantage of the situation, and Hua Congee turned around to cover up, leaning his back against him.
The second stupid sister smiled like a man, dumbfounded. shouted at the few good deeds: "The father-in-law carries his daughter-in-law, you also laugh - go, go, go......" coaxed away like chickens and sheep.
"Let my sister go by herself-" Hua Congee had no trick, so she had to clamp her legs and prepare to turn around and walk back.
"Sister Hua Congee is really a little stupid! You-when will you go like this, you won't be back in the iron cage tomorrow morning, but you're going to bother me......" She just chirped a pair of feet and laughed at her in the back.
"Don't! It's obviously a deep sisterhood, why do you say that it's a father-in-law's daughter-in-law......" Hua Congee's face became more and more red, redder than the sun shining in the evening sky.
"Sister Hua Congee, what's wrong?" said halfway through, seeing something, the second silly sister turned her face to avoid the sunlight and laughed; He turned around again, pulled out a red silk from his bosom like a trick, and spun around the flower porridge a few times like a spinning top, before he smiled and said: "Hu Chilala is a person, yesterday was so strong, but now he looks like a little girl...... How old is it, isn't it just that your butt is injured, and when you walk and rub it, your pants are a little red? That's it, look at how much you look like a ...... Carrots - green jackets, red legs. Hehe......"
