Chapter 7: A Chance Encounter with a Woman

After leaving the general's mansion, Si Yu warmly invited Rong Que to his mansion for a night, Rong Que got into Si Yu's carriage, and soon arrived at Si Yu's residence, just a set of courtyards, no pavilions, Rong Que followed behind Si Yu, and entered the mansion.

Si Yu instructed the kitchen to prepare some wine and food to entertain Rong Que, in the courtyard, the night breeze was cool, Rong Que and Si Yu drank and talked freely.

"Rong Que, I wonder if you are interested in getting an official position under my account?" asked Si Yu.

Rong Que smiled and said, "General Si has promoted me, and Rong Que is embarrassed. ”

"You don't have to be humble, you can come to Tengyun City from thousands of miles away, evade Cai Tian's pursuit with your own strength, and successfully bring Cai Tian down, but the person who successfully knocked Cai Tian down is not a person who does nothing, others don't know, but I know that this Cai Tian is a little unbearable. ”

Rong Que waved his hand and said, "It's just luck." ”

"To be honest, you give me a very calm feeling, and I really hope you can join me. ”

"Thank you for the general's love, but Rong Que has promised the Yumo real person of the Yuxu Palace to enter the seat of the Yumo real person. ”

"Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace?" Rong Que asked in surprise.

Rong Que nodded.

"It seems that Si Yu is reckless, Kunlun Mountain has been famous for a long time, and he can be favored by the Jade Void Palace, and Rong Gongzi is probably not a thing in the pool. ”

"General Si has an overreputation. ”

Si Yu raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled, "Come, let's go, and in the future, I hope that Gongzi Rong will remember the love between you and me today." ”

"Haha, General Si's words are excessive. ”

The two clinked glasses and drank them all.

On the second day, after Rong Que said goodbye to Si Yu, he bought a horse, put his burden on his back and went on the road, Rong Que rode a white horse and went to the west, Kunlun Mountain was in the west, he promised Yu Mo Zhenren to go to Kunlun Mountain, although it was really helpless at the time, but since he had already promised it, he could not break his word.

The white horse is swaying, walking very slowly, the road is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, so that Rong Que is happy. Walking slowly on the road for a few days, on this day, Rong Que saw a person lying on the road on the road. The man was dressed in rags, and at a glance he knew that he was a beggar, and he was lying motionless on the road.

Rong Que passed by, saw this situation, immediately jumped off the horse, turned the beggar over, and then found that the beggar turned out to be a girl, not very old, only ten years old and less than twenty years old. Rong Que felt the beggar's pulse, and after a while, Rong Que concluded that he was so dying on the road because he was overly hungry.

Rong Que put down the beggar, returned to the horse, took off the kettle and dry food, first fed the beggar a few sips of water, the beggar opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Rong Que with great difficulty, the sound was delicate and small, like the vibration of cicada wings. Rong Que listened quietly and heard the beggar say, "Please, give me something to eat." ”

Rong Que put the dry food to the beggar's mouth, and the beggar smelled the fragrance of the flatbread, opened his mouth slightly, took a bite of the flatbread, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. Rong Que waited patiently until the beggar had finished eating a large piece of bread, and then asked, "Do you want more?" You have been hungry for days to be so weak, and it is not good to eat too much at once. ”

"I'm hungry. The beggar whispered.

Rong Que sighed, put the kettle to the beggar's mouth, and said, "Come, drink saliva first." ”

The beggar obeyed, "Goo-dong...", took a big sip of water, and Rong Que stuffed another flatbread into the beggar's hand.

The beggar's physical strength had recovered a lot at this time, so he sat down, took the big cake in Rong Que's hand, lowered his head, and ate it carefully. The breeze in the field blew the hair on her forehead and shook it gently, and her dirty face loomed behind her bangs.

"What's your name?" asked Rong Que.

"Rain. ”

"Is it just you?"

Yuxi was silent for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

"Come, take these taels of silver. Rong Que stuffed ten taels of silver into Yuxi's hands, ten taels of silver is a lot, enough for a beggar to use for a long time.

Rong Que thought about it, stuffed another piece of cake into Yuxi's hand, and said, "Take good care of yourself." ”

After speaking, Rong Que stood up, sighed slightly, walked back to his white horse, and then jumped up and got on the white horse. Just as he was about to drive his horse away, Yuxi struggled to get up from the ground, his physical strength was exhausted, he stumbled, fell to the ground, and brought up a puff of dust, but Yuxi did not give up, held the flatbread in his arms, dragged his heavy body, struggled up from the ground again, and walked to Rong Que's horse leisurely.

Yuxi suddenly knelt in front of Rong Que, her hair spread out, hanging down from her temples, and her snow teeth biting her bloody lips.

"Ask the son to take Yuxi in, and Yuxi is willing to be a cow and a horse. Yuxi said.

"What are you doing here?" Rong Que hurriedly jumped off the horse again and stretched out to help Yuxi, "I want to go far away, and I can't take you in." ”

"Ask the son to take Yuxi in and save Yuxi. ”

"Didn't I give you a lot of silver taels?"

"No matter how much silver will always be used up, Yuxi has no skills, even begging has never begged, fortunately today, meet the kind-hearted son, can escape from death, Yuxi begged the son to take in Yuxi, Yuxi can serve tea and pour water for the son, laundry and quilts. ”

Rong Que pondered, and then said, "You can go to the mansion of a big family, do chores for others, and you can always support yourself." ”

Yuxi was silent, her eyes were gloomy, her eyelashes trembled, and finally Yuxi shook her head gently.

"But I'm going to Kunlun Mountain, can't I take you with me?" Rong Que said in embarrassment.

Yuxi didn't speak, just bent down and kowtowed to Rong Que, one after another.

Rong Que frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally said helplessly, "In this way, I will take you on the road with me, teach you some simple medical skills on the way, and after arriving at Kunlun Mountain, I will go up the mountain, and you will make a living by yourself." ”

Yuxi nodded.

Rong Que helped Yuxi to stand up, pulled her to the side of the white horse, and said, "You are weak, you sit on the horse." ”

Yuxi shook his head and whispered, "Childe took Yuxi in, and Yuxi is already grateful." ”

Rong Que grinned and said, "There is no such thing as accepting or not taking in, it is also my wish to pass on some medical skills to you, and one more person to heal people." Rong Que pushed Yuxi and continued, "Get on the horse, you can't let me carry you, right?"

Yuxi hesitated for a moment, and finally took action, and with Rong Que's support, he stepped on the saddle and climbed on the horse's back.

Rong Que pulled the horse and walked forward, saying as he went, "You don't know how to beg, how did you live before?"

"I used to be a maid in someone's house. ”

"Oh, maid, when the maid had at least one bowl of rice to eat, why is she here now?" Rong Que asked curiously.

"I went to several families, but I couldn't stay. ”

"Can't keep it?" Rong Que frowned, and then continued to ask, "Aren't you able to do those chores?"

"It's not. ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"They... They... Very bad, I escaped a few times, changed places a few times, last time, they ...... I didn't dare to go anymore, preferring to be a beggar. Yuxi said sadly,

"Did they bully you?" Rong Que walked ahead, not noticing the change in Yuxi's mood.

Yuxi didn't respond to Rong Que's words, just nodded silently.

Seeing that Yuxi didn't respond for a long time, Rong Que turned around curiously, just in time to see a drop of water falling from Yuxi's chin and falling on the white horse's back.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nope. Yuxi wiped the back of his hand from his eyes, "It's okay now, Childe takes me in." ”

Rong Que scratched his head at a loss, quickly changed the topic, and said, "There is a city ahead, let's go into the city for a meal, and then buy you a few clothes." ”

"Childe doesn't need to break the bank for the rain. ”

"It's okay, you can't save money on clothes. ”

The two walked for a long time, and finally entered the city, which was quite lively, with people coming and going, and the cries on both sides of the street were endless.

Rong Que looked at the dirty rain, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go to the inn to stay first, you wash it, change your clothes, and then go to buy clothes, or if you go like this, the owner of the clothing store may not let you in." ”

Yuxi whispered, "I... I... I don't have any clothes to change into. ”

Rong Que smiled, "Changing mine, although it is not expensive silk silk, it is definitely clean, I just don't know if you mind." ”

"I don't dare. ”

Rong Que nodded, pulled the white horse, picked an inn, and asked the shopkeeper for two empty rooms, he and Yuxi, one for each person. Rong Que took out a clean dress from the baggage and handed it to Yuxi, saying, "After washing, go to the inn lobby, I will wait for you there." ”

Yuxi nodded.

Rong Que lay down in his room, hurried continuously, tired of the boat and car, tired of muscles and bones, lay down for a while, turned his head to look out the window, the sun was setting, and dinner time was almost coming. Rong Que got up from the bed, walked out of the room, and went to the inn lobby, thinking that the rain should come down soon, so he ordered the food first.

After ordering, Rong Que waited while drinking tea, and it didn't take long to find that the eyes of other guests in the inn converged on the stairs, Rong Que turned his head curiously, and saw her, although the delicate and straight nose bridge was too thin, the small closed soft lips matched below were like beautiful leech links, smooth and flexible, and there was a feeling of movement when he was silent. The fiery red sunset was reflected on her face, the sunset overlapped her eyes, slightly shining, indescribably beautiful, and Rong Que's heart was unconsciously touched.

"You... You... How are you like this. Rong Que couldn't speak for a while.

Yuxi lowered her head, not daring to look around, and sat upright, her eyes falling on the floor near her toes.

"Sit... Sit... It should be served quickly. Rong Que said hesitantly.

Yuxi sat down, a faint fragrance came to his nose, scattered in the air, and diffused from the air to Rong Que's nasal cavity, as if penetrating the pores, entering the blood, boiling the blood, Rong Que only felt that his whole person was inexplicably excited, Rong Que didn't dare to look at it anymore, he could only look down at the tea leaves in his teacup.
