Chapter 409: Gossip in the Sand Village
Not long after, the old woman walked in with another stack of clothes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Xiao Xianggong, the clothes on your sister's body seem to have been soaked in water, there are a few clean old clothes here, they are all usually worn by Ermao Niang, if you don't dislike it, just change it for her, it's not good to fall sick in the cold!"
The old woman put the old clothes in the hands of Yue Qing's soul.
Moon Qing Soul: "......"
The old woman saw Yue Qing's embarrassment at a glance, and said with a smile: "I forgot, old woman, your sister has never woken up, and it is not convenient to be an elder brother." If you don't dislike the old woman's rudeness, I'll change her clothes, and I'll call you in later!" she confirmed in her heart that these two were not a young couple who eloped or a young couple who fled.
Yueqing's soul was like being amnestied, so she hurriedly dodged out, looked at the little bald head who was burning the fire by the earthen stove, smiled slightly, leaned over and said, "What's your name?"
"Ermao. ā
"How old are you?"
"Ten years old"
"Do you know how to read?"
"Nope"
The two asked and answered, and soon there was no topic to talk about. The little bald head was obviously a little uncomfortable by Yue Qing's soul, and the firelight illuminated the little face red.
Fortunately, the old woman also came out at this time, and after putting Nalan Xue's clothes outside to dry, she turned around and smiled: "In a remote country like ours, how can there be a gentleman who knows how to read? Besides, it doesn't matter if a girl can read or write, if she can marry in the city in the future......"
Yue Qingsoul listened to the old woman's babbling, but she didn't expect this little bald head to be a girl, and her heart was even more funny.
The old woman took the place of the little bald head, and said while lighting the fire: "But it is not appropriate to marry this into the city, and the high walls of Tamu City will be gone if it is gone." I heard that the people inside have become monsters, and they bite people when they see them, what a sin!
Fortunately, our sons and daughters in the north will fight, and they have snatched the city back from the monsters. No, just after the New Year, Ermao's father and grandfather went to help repair the city wall, and I don't know what the situation is now. When will I be back?"
The old woman looked proud when she mentioned the Northern Xinjiang Erlang, and this kind of recognition under the baptism of the soul of the Northern Xinjiang Army for eight hundred years made Yueqing Soul sigh in her heart. Northern Xinjiang has always been a unique symbol on the mainland, and at some point the light even overshadowed the huge dynasty behind it.
At least for now, in the eyes of this old woman, her sense of identity as a member of the Northern Xinjiang is greater than that of a citizen of the Guangming Dynasty.
Yue Qingsoul also echoed and sighed a few words.
The two of them have a casual chat, but they don't find it boring. Only the little bald head was still shy, leaning on the old woman's side, not peeking at Yue Qing's soul.
Yue Qingsoul listened to the sound of crackling fire in the stove, and looked at the two ancestors and grandchildren who depended on each other, and their hearts were surprisingly peaceful, as if they were completely isolated from the bloody and killing world. ā
He suddenly asked, "Auntie, in the winter, why doesn't Ermao keep some hair?"
The old woman sighed: "This child was born prematurely in less than a month, and the root of the disease was in the mother's womb, and he could not give birth to hair from childhood to adulthood. So, no matter how handsome he looks in the future, I'm afraid that no one will be willing to marry him. ā
Yue Qing's soul was stunned, he didn't expect this little girl's bald head to have such a reason, he saw the little girl's tears rolling in her eyes, and she seemed to understand the old woman's words, probably similar words have been heard countless times.
Yue Qing's soul looked distressed for no reason, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to say: "They are all hard-working people! My sister has gray hair at a young age, and it is difficult to explain it!"
The old woman added fuel to the fire: "Speaking of which, I have never seen such a handsome girl as your sister in most of my life, but such a handsome girl is- alas, it can be seen that you should be from a big family, why did you think of coming to this poor and remote place in our northwest, and now you are in chaos......" She felt sorry for Nalan Xue between her words.
Sympathy for the same disease can best shorten the distance between people, and the old woman's words immediately became a lot closer, and even the bald little girl stared at Yue Qing's soul with tearful eyes, but she was not very shy.
Yue Qingsoul thought that he hadn't told a lie for a long time, and he was a little rusty for a while, and he didn't know where to start, so he pretended to sigh and sighed before he said slowly: "It's a long story! ā
The old woman sighed and said, "It turns out that your sister has already made a promise, I wonder how that person came to the northwest?"
Yue Qingsoul continued: "It's all caused by this chaotic year! Presumably you have also heard that since last autumn, the battles in the imperial capital city have been fought one after another, the soldiers and horses have been replaced one after another, and the dead people are piled up as high as a mountain, not to mention that we have been broken by the chaotic soldiers."
In November last year, Dai Chen, the traitor of the Inspectorate, rebelled and mobilized the gendarmes to burn, kill and loot everywhere, from the princes to the Li people, no one could escape. Rebels rushed to the house and killed all the members of the family, and my sister and I hid in a dry well for two days and two nights before we escaped. ā
The old woman sighed and said, "I've heard from a passing merchant that Dai Chen did bad things, and I don't know how many good people he harmed." Poor ones, you are lucky to have survived!"
Yueqing soul said: "Yes, the tears are dry, and the days still have to pass." All the things in the house were robbed, and the money, food, and even the tables, chairs and benches were removed. When my sister and I came out of the dry well, we were only half breathing. I said that I was not afraid of your joke, auntie, in order to keep my sister alive, I had to climb into the street to be a beggar, kowtowing to people all day long, hoping to get a bite of food.
However, the entire imperial capital city was devastated, where could I get food, I went to the garbage dump to find something to eat, and as a result, the entire garbage heap was full of people, one by one, with yellow faces and thin muscles, tattered clothes, and often beaten for a piece and a half of dirty steamed buns. ā
The old woman shook her head: "What a sin! I originally thought that our Northern Frontier Army had lost money in fighting for the nobles and lords of the Imperial Capital, but now that I think about it, it is also a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtues!"
At that time, my sister and I really didn't have anything to fill our stomachs, so we could only take out the bark and grass roots and chew them little by little, swallow them into our stomachs, and barely satisfy our hunger!"
Later, my sister also went out to beg for food, but she was better than me, and she could often find one or two steamed buns. Every time, she said that she was full of food, and gave me the steamed buns. Until one time, I woke up hungry in the middle of the night and saw my sister lying on the ground picking up the steamed bun crumbs I had dropped on the ground during the day, and stuffing them into my mouth little by little.
I realized that she had never eaten at all, and that she had given me all those steamed buns, and that she had nibbled on some bark and grass roots every day......"
Yue Qing's soul choked, this guy was moved by himself!
The old woman wiped a handful of tears: "The girl who is like a flower and jade goes out to beg for food, and I don't know how many people have to be bullied, this world is becoming more and more unpleasant! Alas, if you don't say anything else, let's just say that our governor has fought for the emperor in his life, and even the emperor's life was saved by him, so what can he do, he was not killed by the emperor's family!"
Yue Qing Soul said: "Auntie, you can also say this here, in case it is heard by others, it will not be good!"
The old woman said: "Don't worry, in our northern Xinjiang, even if the emperor comes, it will not be easy to speak!"
Yue Qingsoul gave a thumbs up, this is bullish!
The old woman said, "Later, why did your sister make a promise?"
Yue Qingsoul shook his head, stopped talking, and finally said: "Speaking of this paragraph, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing!
It also happened that one day, when the Duke entered the city, my sister accidentally collided with the Duke Lord's guard of honor, and just when my sister was about to be beaten to death by a stick, the Duke appeared, and he took one look at my sister and let her go!"
The old woman said: "I can't imagine that this Duke is still kind-hearted, it is finally a blessing for the people of the imperial capital!"
Yue Qingsoul sighed: "He has indeed done a lot of good things in the Imperial Capital City, but he can only do it to my sister...... That night, not long after my sister came back, she was taken away by a team of wolf-like soldiers, I was so frightened that my soul was gone, and I was about to chase it, but I was held down by the soldiers, and one of the five big and three thick soldiers with a thick face also said that my sister was blessed to enter the Duke's Palace, and it was a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes!"
Old woman: "It seems that it was robbed, but I really don't know my heart!"
Yue Qingsoul: "It's not! He let my sister go during the day, just cherishing his reputation and showing it to others." This duke is young, full of benevolence and morality, but behind his back, he is a male thief and a female prostitute.
Later, when my sister came home crying, the Duke offered us some gold and silver to cover our eyes, and tried to shut our brother and sister's mouth. We were afraid of his power, so we had to endure it. ā
The old woman: "The old men of the imperial capital city are used to being powerful and blessed, and they don't treat our common people as people, alas, it's better for us to be in the north!"
Yue Qingsoul said again: "Later, the Duke took my sister over again in three days, and my sister had to be agreed by him, saying that he would marry her when the world was calm." ā
Old woman: "If this is the case, there is still some conscience, and it is complete!"
Yue Qing's soul was speechless, this old lady blindly thought about the good, her hint was already obvious, and she was still thinking about a happy ending!
He choked up, "But not long after, news came that the Duke was going to marry the princess!
After a few more days, the battle broke out again in the imperial capital, and half of the city was destroyed, and the Duke lost the battle, and fled with his men and horses, and in the end, he did not come to see my sister!
God is pitiful, my sister is all worried about the Duke, and she is worried all day long, washing her face with tears, and she is actually white in the night!"
The old woman: "What a sin, a good girl has met a noble lord who has been abandoned from the beginning to the beginning, and her life is bitter!"
Yue Qingsoul sighed and said: "Who says it's not? I see my sister crying like this, sooner or later I will cry blind and cry for my life, so I took her out of the imperial capital and traveled thousands of miles to find the duke! I hope he can look at the children in my sister's womb and don't abandon their mother and son!"
The old woman was stunned, but stopped her tears and said, "Your sister is pregnant?"
Yue Qing's soul nodded sadly.
The old woman said, "She told you?"
Yue Qingsoul nodded again, but a bad feeling was born in her heart.
The old woman said: "Silly child, she lied to you, when I changed her clothes just now, I saw that the Shougong sand on her arm was still there, and she was still an out-and-out little girl, how could she be pregnant?" she also came back to her senses and hesitated, "So the Duke is not too bad to be saved, at least before he worshipped, he was still a proprietor!"
Moon Qing Soul: "......"
The old woman said again: "Speaking of which, there are not many dukes in our northern frontier! The little duke of Wolf City has not yet inherited the title, and he is not a real duke. There is only one left, the old duke has a child with one hand, it seems to be called what Heng, what kind of duke is sealed with ice, I also heard Ermao her father mention it, I can't remember clearly!"
Yue Qing Soul cautiously reminded, "Duke of the Ice Plain!"
She slapped her thigh and said, "That's right, it's the Duke of Bingyuan!" It's a pity, the old duke is gone, otherwise let Ermao and his father accompany you to the wolf city, that doll duke dares to be sorry for your sister, and the old duke will beat his ass to bloom!"
Yue Qing's soul was speechless and choked, a good enough drama to sing the "Duke of Boqing and the Infatuated Girl" in Northern Xinjiang was ruined by a palace guard. Feelings: Ah Heng's kid and Nalan Xue have been hugging and hugging in the lost town for so long, and they haven't even broken through this level, what a useless guy!
It is, the water in the pot is also boiling.
The old woman wiped the corners of her eyes, made a basin of hot water and said, "Little Xianggong, if your sister has been asleep, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the town to find a doctor." There's still a long way to go, so you have to take care of your health so that your sister can meet that doll duke!"
Yue Qing's soul said yes again and again, but she knew very well in her heart that Nalan Xue, as a god clan, as long as she rested properly, there should be no major problems in her body, and the biggest problem was still in her inner demons, if she had been unwilling to state the reasons before and after, even if he wanted to help her, he would be powerless!
Yue Qingsoul walked into the room, but saw Nalan Xue waking up leisurely.
Nalan Xue glanced at the roof in a bit of confusion, and then at the futon on her body in confusion, and finally found that even the close-fitting clothes had been changed, and her heart suddenly panicked, and at this time, it happened that Yueqing Soul appeared.
Nalan Xue only felt that the sky was falling apart, her blood was surging, her eyes were full of bitter hatred, at this moment, she even forgot the things that made her miserable before she fell into a coma, and there were only two words in her heart: beast! beast!
For a while, the room was full of murderous intent!
