Chapter 4 Lunan Flying Snow
Shuhuan was about to say something, but she heard a rustling sound approaching, and before she could react, a figure pounced at her feet with a "bang", and several reeds broke off with a "snort". The reeds in February are fragile and easy to break.
Frightened, Tamako slammed the man into the air. The pillar was resting beside the road, and a tattered thing fell in front of him, and he was so frightened that a mouthful of water blocked his mouth, and his bulging cheeks and round eyes were like a frightened toad. Yuzi hissed, and before he could hit it again, Shuhuan hurriedly stopped it, constantly reassuring, and looked at the man.
The man was wriggling on the ground, tattered, barely recognizable, but even so, he was still screaming in a voice that was almost broken.
"Big sister, please, please, save my mother, she, she's about to be killed......"
The man struggled for a while before Shuhuan and the others could see his appearance clearly: his face was covered with blood and muddy water, and the rags on his body were actually brocade clothes that had been whipped by whips. Jun Quan felt that the color scheme and texture were very familiar, but because it was so tattered, he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
"What's going on? ...... you How did you get beaten like this?
The monarch had never seen such a scene, and he was shocked and frightened, and as far as he knew, such a situation, if it had not been the result of a contest written in black and white, would be a felony against the law. However, this kind of crime had not been convicted for nearly a hundred years, and he couldn't help but have some doubts. But the suspicion was quickly replaced by pity, and the man in front of him was really too badly hurt.
"Where's your mother? Take us to her! Pillar! Pillar! Come, take care of his wounds!"
The pillar was still puffing out his cheeks at this time, obviously frightened, and only came back to his senses when he heard the monarch call him. He quickly swallowed the water, took out the powder and the white cotton cloth from his bosom, and stood up cautiously, trying to wipe the blood for the man, but before he could touch it, the man threw himself at the heart of the road, turned over with difficulty like a cake, and dodged the hand of the pillar. The gray mud stained his body, adding another mess to him.
The wound cracked, oozing blood, pasting on the original bloodstained mud, which was terrifying, but he didn't care, he just continued to beg, over and over again, all of them meant the same thing, but they still repeated it over and over again.
When the pillar saw this, he wanted to start again. Jun Quan hurried over and stopped the pillar, he vaguely felt that this person would not be willing to be touched by someone other than the book ring. So, he pulled the pillar and watched from the side.
There was a distinct depression above the man's brow bone, as if caused by some external force, but the flesh had long since healed and did not appear to be a new wound, and there was an arc-shaped dent on the other cheekbone, which seemed to be tightly strangled by some ring-shaped hard object.
Before, because of his hoarse voice, he didn't think about it and thought that this was a thin man, but when he looked closely, he realized that she was actually a girl.
Jun Quan's pupils contracted violently, and he recognized the jade ring she wore around her neck, which was warm and clear, excellent in color, and inlaid with a silver flower.
He remembered where he had seen this dress, and it was clear that he had seen it on the road.
"You are a member of the family. ”
When the man heard this, he shook all over, and a trace of extreme helplessness burst out of his eyes.
"No!!I'm not!! I'm not the !! of the Yu family"
She said, trying to cover it with her broken collar, but in vain.
Shuhuan had been looking at her silently, but then he spoke.
"Did your mother ask you to come?"
The tone was gentle, not knowing the joy and sorrow, Jun Quan looked at her, but saw that her eyes were covered with a layer of gloom, as if she was remembering something.
When the Yu family heard this, it was like being scalded by hot oil, and she suddenly retracted her upper body and quieted down.
"I don't think she called you. ”
Shuhuan turned around slowly, and Jun Quan could only see her tense side face, as if she was gritting her teeth to prevent herself from saying the next words. She took a slow breath, a long, long exhale.
"Since she won't let you come, you will only hurt her by doing so. ”
Shuhuan leaned his head into Tamako's soft mane, and gently soothed it with one hand, as if he was soothing his own mind. When he spoke again, his tone had completely changed.
"Take care of your wounds, go back, your mother will be fine." ”
When the daughter of the Yu family heard this, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she was robbed of the book ring.
"If you're going to ask me to help, that's fine. ”
She paused, extinguishing the little light that had just risen in the eyes of the Yu family's daughter.
"Lead me there, and I will save your mother and heal you. But you will leave with me, and never return home. If I can get her out, I will make it impossible for you to go back. ”
The daughter of the Yu family just opened her mouth like this, but she didn't say a word, she didn't say a word.
The north wind from Luhu Lake, fluttering, blowing a few white velvet flowers, like a lost rose. That's the name of the honeysuckle.
The daughter of the Yu family also saw it, and the white flowers were reflected in her eyes. She watched motionlessly, almost reverently.
But that's just a reed flower, and Yu Lost Qiang is an alternative depiction of a reed flower. He took in her expression, for a long time, he couldn't bear it, and turned his gaze away. He silently asked in his heart, how could there be reed flowers in this season? Just asking, but he didn't want to know the answer in his heart.
A white flower floated closer, he reached out to take it, but the white flower quietly melted into the palm of his hand, and there was no trace. In February in Lunan, the sky is full of snow.
The daughter of the Yu family left, holding the cotton wool, limping. Jun Quan watched her stumble out of sight and walk straight towards Hezhou.
West of the Imperial City, south of Luhu Lake, east of Yuchuan, and Hezhou is there.
Hezhou is not a city, but a synonym for the area where the family lived, and its boundaries are very blurred, and even expanded in just a few days.
In recent years, the Yu family has prospered, and the border with the state has gradually expanded from a small circle in the imperial city to the current west and Xiwei Wharf, and east to the giant ring of the main rudder of the waist. The small half of the imperial city is also full of family buildings. Compared with the gradual reduction of members in recent years, the Jun family, where the entire clan moved to the palace, really has a sense of great momentum.
I don't know if when the old emperor wanted the Zen throne seventeen years ago, the first thing that came to mind was not the Yu family.
It is easy to distinguish between the houses of the Yu family. The courtyard wall is extremely low, painted with silver flowers, and used as a boundary marker, only a few points higher than the threshold. There is a square and a circle, no matter what the shape, it must be connected from end to end.
On a cloudless moonlit night, those silver flowers will reflect the glimmer of the moon, becoming what people say in their mouths, "Give me the silver moon, referring to the flowers". And within the courtyard wall, whether it is a thatched hut, a pigsty and a cowpen, or a carved fence Feiyu, Qionglou and Jade Pavilion, they are all Yujia buildings.
The monarch is the daughter of the Yu family who met about three miles away from the helm of the worker's waist. Come to think of it, she escaped from the nearby courtyard of the Yu family.
In the past, Jun Quan had always wondered why all young women with surnames except for the Yu family were called several ladies or girls of a certain family, but when it came to the women of the Yu family, they were all the same "daughters of the Yu family", as if they did not deserve any attribute other than "being a woman". Now, he seems to have understood.
But soon, the doubts that had been forgotten for a while rose again. Let him want to go back to the palace immediately, and ask those pavilion elders who have white hair and white beards, and say every day that there is nothing to do today, why in the past hundred years, there has not been a single serious crime of abusing and hurting others, but there is a daughter of the Yu family struggling in such a desperate situation? Could it be that the prosperity and peace in his eyes are all fake?
Shuhuan had already sat down immediately, ready to continue to the waist, and when he saw the king's gaze, he knew what he wanted to ask.
"Don't you know?"
"Know what?"
"Everyone knows about the daughters of the family, except for a few in the palace. ”
The corners of the book ring are sarcastic, meaning something.
The monarch thought for a moment that he had been seen through.
"The daughter of the Yu family is not willing to be cheap. ”
One word at a time, there is a sound of gnashing teeth.
"They are born lowly. ”
She laughed.
Jun Quan didn't understand why she was smiling, obviously there was no smile in her eyes. He saw only a dim light. Painful and resolute, like hatred, like remorse.
At this time, he didn't understand what kind of past was buried behind the three words Yu Shuhuan.
