Chapter 3 Heroes don't ask where they come from
Since I had my own car, I changed from "squatting at home" to "lying in the yard". Every day, I would get up early, put on crutches beside the bed, drag my crippled body with great difficulty, and then lie on the chaise longue in the small courtyard outside the house to watch the scenery. I can't help but sigh that in the first half of my life, I wore a phoenix crown and a xia veil every day in the eyes of ordinary people, ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, and surrounded me with three servants and four servants, but I lived a miserable life. Now I can't do a single step, but my heart feels thousands of miles away, free. If I came back from the mountains, he would tell me that I had hunted something good today, and if I came back from town, he would definitely use the money he earned from selling game furs to buy me some good things.
Today is the day when the scar man goes to the town to sell things, the town is far away, if he comes back, the night is late, I don't wait for him, I plan to drag my crippled body back after watching the sunset in the mountains, but there is a cry for help in the distance outside the courtyard fence. I walked on crutches in the direction of the sound, and I did not go far, but I saw a young girl approaching, her little body carrying a tall man, the man's face was pale, half of his arm was hanging on the little girl's shoulder, and it was all bloodstained.
"Sister," the little girl said to me, "help us." Then she fell down, she was sweating profusely, and tried to stand up, but after all, it was an unconscious man pressing on her, and she could not move, so I hurried to help her, and in a moment of panic, I lost my crutches, and I also fell and gnawed on the mud.
I tried to get up, ahhh "Yes! I can't speak or walk, but I just don't want to hear it from your mouth, okay? You're asking for my help, sister! I moved to her side with my bare hands and pushed the man on her side, and she quickly picked up the man after she got up, and said very distressedly: "Slow down, sister!" I ignored her, picked up the crutches beside me and struggled to get up, dragging the man's other arm into the house.
After placing the man on the bed I usually slept in, I turned and walked out, back to my recliner, and continued to look at my twilight view. The little girl came out of the house in a panic and said to me anxiously, "Sister, did you leave him there like this?" I turned my head and looked at her with an innocent and helpless expression. yes, otherwise what do you think my dumb and lame woman can do for you? She was so anxious that she stamped her feet and cried, and I was so noisy that I had a headache, and the scenery was not beautiful, so I pulled the blanket under me and put it on my head.
"Sister, the sun hasn't set yet, what are you sleeping?" At this time, the little girl's voice was already crying: "What if he dies?" What should I do if Jun dies? "What to do? Then you can die with him! I was so upset that I didn't want to pay attention to her, and lay down in my chair without moving. I don't know if I used too much energy just now or was annoyed by this girl, I actually fell asleep, and I actually dreamed of Qi Yucheng, a 10,000-year-old bastard! Somehow, I was so manic in my dreams that I took off my shoes and threw them in his face, scolding him incessantly, using up almost all the bastard words I've ever known in my life. He was wearing a dragon yellow robe, looking at me indifferently without any expression. Finally, he looked at me with his nostrils facing up, his eyes full of disgust, and said, "Morning and twilight, do you see clearly?" That's who you are, do you think, are you worthy? "I just felt like I was shaking with rage, and I threw myself at him like crazy. Today, I will die with you at dusk!
Before I could fight the shame, I was woken up, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the scarred man in front of me in the bright moonlight, sweating profusely, and his panicked expression was unobstructed. He took my arm, lowered his voice, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?" Why sleep here? Why is there blood stains in the hospital? "Hey, you're finally back, I was almost tortured to death! I pointed inside the house and said, "Somebody is hurt, it's serious." He understood, and I felt a heavy breath in his chest, as if he had finally put his mind at ease.
When it comes to Scar Man, things will be much easier to solve. The man fell from a great height, broke his arm, fainted in pain, and lost a lot of blood after a long period of untreated. The scar man helped the man treat the wound without saying a word, and the little girl had a "thank you, big brother" on the left and a "thank you" on the right. When it was over, the night was darker, and the room was too small, and I could not see the girl's affectionate eyes when she looked at the wounded man, so I covered the blanket and prepared to sleep in the courtyard. Just as I was about to fall asleep, my body sank and I felt someone covering me with a quilt, so I quietly lifted the corner of the blanket and saw the scar man looking at me. In the moonlit nightlight, I felt like stars in the sky. I was about to cover my head when I was stopped by a pair of hands.
"You've got a terrible nightmare." He whispered, "Sleep with your hands and dance, and if you sleep outside the house, you will get cold." ”
"Then you get the two out of there, and I'll sleep in the house." I don't know what I'm angry about, I regret it after I finish speaking, Asa, Twilight, Twilight, what are you doing? Is this your home? Do you think you're a princess? Now that you occupy your savior's bed and eat your savior's meal, why can't you see yourself so clearly!
As a result, the scar man not only didn't get angry when he heard this, but laughed: "You won't, if that's the case, why would you save them back." ”
"I didn't think about it, they begged me, and I was saved." I snatched the quilt back from his hand, covered my head, and fell down.
Not long after lying down, it suddenly occurred to me, wouldn't there be no place for Scar Man to sleep today? I sneaked a peek at him again. He sat on the ground beside me, and did not sleep, but looked up at the moon in the sky from afar, and looked at it for a long time, without moving. At this moment, I suddenly felt, perhaps, that he might have looked at the moon like this for a long time, and I imagined him sitting like this, looking from the past to the future, bored, lonely and desolate.
Because the rising sun was too harsh, I woke up early, and when I woke up, I could smell the smell of rice and the smell of stewed broth that I had not seen for a long time. The scar man brought me a bowl, I drank it very happily, but my mouth was unforgiving: "I only opened a small stove when I have a new sick number." He just shook his head a little crying. The "new sick number" soon woke up, and then the two of them kept thanking me, and the little girl's attitude towards me eased a lot, and I screamed "Auntie" one by one, my scalp was numb, especially looking at the affectionate eyes of the two people looking at each other, I felt that the broth I drank was tumbling in my stomach. Just when I didn't know how many days I would have to endure such a day, the next day, when I woke up, they were gone. I asked Scar Man suspiciously, but he shook his head calmly as he was processing his fur and said, "I'm just doing my best to help others, and they," Scar Man actually smiled slightly, "Come and go freely." I think he said this with emotion, and suddenly he felt that it was wrong. So I'm still here because I'm dead-faced, right? Big brother, you mean that, right? Scold! This princess is not leaving, this princess is still lame! Still dumb! Not yet! I dragged my crippled legs to the chaise longue, and it was a new day of sunrise! I enjoy the scenery alone.
In the evening, I finally returned to my own bed, and I deliberately rolled on the narrow bed, lying there and sighing comfortably.
"Did you go to bed so early today?" The scar man behind him asked softly.
"Hmm." I buried my head in the quilt and answered it with confidence.
"Then I won't give you what I bought in the town the day before yesterday, and you're not interested."
I sat up at once, and he didn't intend to tease me, so he took out a cloth bag from behind him and opened it, and inside it was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Your hand strength is almost recovered, but you can't do fine movements, I thought you must be able to write, so I bought these and came back for you to practice your hands."
As he spoke, he skillfully sharpened the ink. He spread out a thin piece of rice paper in front of me, and handed me a pen soaked in ink.
Dilapidated, crowded adobe houses, faint candlelight, a few old bows and quivers hanging from the walls, and even the table with uncleaned dishes and chopsticks after dinner. It didn't fit in with the pen and paper on the table. I hesitated to take the pen, and the ink dripped and smudged on the paper. In the candlelight, I was in a bit of a trance, where exactly was I? What exactly am I going to do? I looked up at the scar man in front of me, I wanted to say something to him, but I couldn't say anything.
"What's wrong? Don't know what to write? ”
yes, what do I write?
"What's your name?"
We were stunned. Looking at him, he stood across from me, quietly waiting.
"I don't know your name yet, so write your name."
I don't know if the candlelight is too faint, at this time his smile seems unusually gentle, my heart softened, I took a deep breath, and put down the pen decisively, I am afraid that after a while I will lose this hard-won little courage.
"Qingyi ......" He slowly read these two words with my strokes, and gently landed on my heart like a feather.
It's been a long time since anyone called me this name, yes, I was originally called "Qingyi", the mother said, the water is clear, a little ripple, soft and pure, I hope I am like clear water, pure and pure. It's just that before I can be sensible, I have a new title "Princess Sunrise". "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." Oh, what a moral implication! My father and the emperor hope that they can live with my mother for a long time, and I also hope that I have someone to entrust for life, but what is the result? My life was full of abandonment and betrayal. Perhaps, it's time to shake it off, Twilight has already fallen off the cliff and died, she shouldn't live, only Qingyi who has never experienced those dirty Qingyi can live. I'm Qingyi.
He smiled and said to me, "It's a good name." ”
Because the hand injury is not yet healed, this character is really a bit ugly to write, and it seems that it does require more practice. I became interested, so I simply put pen to paper and wrote, "What's your name? He still read my words with my strokes, and his voice was still soft.
I looked at him and waited for him to say. But he pondered for a long time, then suddenly walked to my side, took the pen in my hand, and wrote three words on the paper in one go:
"Chu Zhilan"
The writing is not regular, but the pen is very powerful.
"Chu Zhilan, my name is Chu Zhilan." He also introduced himself in a matter-of-fact manner.
Big brother, I remember your surname is Bai!
Probably seeing the confusion in my eyes, he explained: "Most of the villagers in Bailing Village have the surname Bai. ”
What you mean is that you are using a false name to deceive others.
"Qingyi, you, where are you from?" He asked solemnly, but I didn't know how to answer. I thought about it for a while and wrote on a piece of paper: "Heroes don't ask where they come from. He read it anyway, and then couldn't help but laugh. I can understand him, after all, there should have been no one in a situation like me since ancient times and still called himself a hero. Again, I wrote, "Where do you come from? After he read it, he looked at me for a long time, his eyes were dark, and just when I felt that I was about to be seen through by his gaze, he suddenly raised his head, sighed, and smiled helplessly: "I ...... Heroes don't ask where they come from. ”
"Let's go outside and look at the moon." He said.
"Huh?" Before I could react, I saw him stretch out a hand, and I hesitated a little, not knowing if he meant what I thought, so I tentatively stretched out my hand, and he grabbed me and grabbed my arm.
It was late at night, and Chu Zhilan looked at the woman who was already asleep on the recliner. How long can such a day last? January? Two months? March? Half?
Chu Zhilan gently carried her back to the house, he looked at the woman's frequently frowning sleeping face, and couldn't help but call softly: "Qingyi? The other party suddenly grabbed his arm, Qingyi didn't wake up, but the delicate white hand pinched him weakly, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "What if it's cloudy?" What if it were now? ”
No, no, absolutely not. At least until she's gone.
Chu Zhilan recalled the time since this period of time, her panicked appearance, her coquettish appearance to Aunt Bai, and her angry and awkward appearance, it was really interesting. Chu Zhilan felt that the first half of her life was not as interesting as this half month. The most important thing is that in this boring and worrying life, he finally turned white, and there is still someone who cares about him, and another person who waits for him at home, even if such a person is just a bitter stranger he happens to save. She would recover one day, and then what reason would he have for her to stay? She will still leave with gratitude just like the people Chu Zhilan rescued before, if she leaves, what kind of day does it make a difference? So at least, when she recovers, at least, when she leaves voluntarily.
