Chapter 197: Eight Years Ago
That should have been eight years ago.
On the streets of Yunshang Cloud City, the cold wind is raging, and the harsh winter is like snow. The pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and everyone put their hands in their wide sleeved robes, and it was too cold in Cloud City this year. There are few stalls on the streets, the wind whimpers like ghosts crying, and the biting wind cuts people's skin and faces like cold knives.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, lightning fell from the sky, and thunder rolled in the sky and ran uncontrollably.
This is the first time Wan'er has seen such a cloud city, her father who is dependent on her life was killed, and the murderer has never been found, and her father's body was found in the field outside the village. Wan'er didn't cry, she learned to be patient and strong from the beginning, she buried her father's body and came to Cloud City alone.
She didn't know anyone in Cloud City, and it was the first time she came to Kyoto from a village hundreds of miles away, but the days in Cloud City were not good. It's not easy for a country girl like him to come to the big city, and the coiling on her body is almost used up after a few days, and no one dares to hire her to do things for such a girl.
Wan'er lives on the streets, she curls up in the corner of the eaves, and Yuncheng is not without beggars. Wan'er was afraid to live with those beggars, so she always wandered the streets alone, and she felt that her day had become so difficult without her father's support. Many times, she wanted to cry, but she always bit her lip to prevent herself from crying.
It was too cold in Cloud City on this day, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and the body running around these days was extremely overdrawn. Wan'er sat under the eaves and looked at the deserted streets, her hair on her forehead was messy, and her immature face was full of sadness.
I remember that a woman came to her a few days ago and asked her if she would like to follow her and let her eat and drink spicy food. The woman was dressed in a fancy way, with a thick rouge on her face and a gold bracelet on her hand. Wan'er was once moved, but when she saw a building, Wan'er didn't want to go in again.
She is old, but she also knows what this woman wants to do by herself, she wants to be a prostitute herself. Wan'er knows how important chastity is to women, she hasn't read much, but she also knows etiquette, righteousness and shame. Wan'er wouldn't do such a thing, so she fled from that place in an instant.
After escaping, she still heard the ugly woman's scolding voice, but Wan'er was still very happy, and if she couldn't do it, she could go back to the countryside to farm and support herself.
Sitting under the eaves and shivering in the cold wind, he hugged his knees with his hands and his chin rested on his knees.
"Are you going to die here?"
Wan'er knew that she was sick, her forehead was very hot, but her body seemed to be soaked in ice water.
The eyes are getting more and more blurry, and I want to get up with my legs but I don't obey the call, and there is a chill in my knees. It's not that the people of Yuncheng are indifferent, it's because Wan'er's self-esteem is too strong and she doesn't want other people's charity.
I don't want to get something for nothing, but the reality is so cruel, but Wan'er is such a stubborn girl.
Wan'er is only ten years old, and she doesn't want to die yet, and she doesn't want to die on the streets of Cloud City.
Forced to stand up again, dizzy as soon as he got up, plus his body was thin. A cold wind blew, and Wan'er fell to the ground again on her feet, her hands being scratched on the ground. Blood flowed down the palm of her hand, the hot blood turned cold instantly, and Wan'er bit her lip in pain.
There was no one on the street, Wan'er lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't move, and the bluestone slab was as cold as if it had been frozen.
"I'm only ten years old, am I going to die like this, just like that?"
Wan'er moved her body and crawled forward little by little, she was unwilling to die like this. But she felt that she couldn't support it anymore, crawling in the corner, Wan'er closed her eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound of horses' hooves behind Wan'er, and she wanted to open her eyes to see.
The whole world was dark, and even if you opened your eyes, you couldn't see anything, and a teenager's voice rang out: "Is she dead, Ah Fu go and see." ”
Wan'er felt someone approaching, but she couldn't move, and someone reached out and put their index finger under their nostrils.
"Young master, I'm still alive, I'm just sick. ”
"Take her back to her house and heal her. ”
The young man's voice flowed into Wan'er's heart like a warm current, her eyes were still closed, someone picked her up and wrapped her in a thick dress. The body was a lot warmer, and it didn't take long for Wan'er to fall into a deep sleep, and she had never slept well for a day after coming to Cloud City for so long.
Wan'er still remembers seeing herself in the river that day, with her hair scattered and her face frozen. His hands were rough like those of an old man, the skin on the backs of his hands had fallen off, and his eyes were covered with dark circles.
But now, it was warm to be wrapped in clothes, and she didn't know where she was going to go.
But listening to the young man's voice did not look like a bad person, Wan'er fell asleep with peace of mind, and when she woke up, she was in a warm room.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a white bedspread covered with a thick blanket. His hands were wrapped in gauze, and there was a burst of warmth on his body, and when he looked up again, he saw that there was a young man in the room.
The young man sat in the room with a book in his hand, he was draped in a large white coat, and his slender fingers gently held the book and looked at it carefully. Wan'er looked at the young man, who looked a few years older than herself, although she could only see the side face.
Wan'er felt that this young man should be very good-looking, his nose was high, and he was not invisible because he was sideways.
"Ahem, ahem"!
Wan'er began to cough, and the boy was awakened by the coughing sound, he picked up the book in his hand and got up and walked to Wan'er.
The young man was very tall, with a faint smile on his face and a slight tug at the corners of his mouth.
"Are you awake?"
Wan'er looked at the young man, his eyes were very bright, and his light brown eyes were very good.
Wan'er wanted to get up, but was gently darkened by the young man, and he said with a smile: "You are weak, don't move, lie down well." ”
This is the first time Wan'er has been actively cared for when she comes to Cloud City, her heart is warm, and she has no outlet for what she thinks. The boy called the maid, and after a while the maid brought a bowl of steaming ginger soup, the aroma of which made people want to sleep but didn't want to drink.
"Drink this bowl of ginger soup!"
The maid helped Wan'er up, and then fed her the ginger soup spoonful by spoonful, and the ginger soup flowed into her stomach and the whole person was warm. The young man looked at him like this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, which made Wan'er feel like bathing in spring light.
After drinking the ginger soup, Wan'er lay down, she squinted at the young man in front of her and asked, "What kind of place is this?"
"General's Mansion!"
Wan'er's heart trembled, this is the General's Mansion, and the young man in front of her is the Duke of the General's Mansion, right? Wan'er knew that there were two generals in Yunshang, one was named Wang Zhong and the other was Lin Yi.
It's just that Wan'er doesn't dare to determine whether this is the duke of the Lin family or the duke of the Wang family.
