Chapter 62: The Cold Palace
After the heavy rain, before it cleared, there was a rampant squeaking sound of rats in the dark and damp corner, and when I looked up, dozens of large and small rats were unscrupulously climbing on the rotten wooden beams that had been eaten by insects and ants.
On the edge of the rain seeping down, next to the rat ant was the person living on the wooden bed, feeling the water stains on the soles of his feet, the man curled up a little, and retracted into the hard quilt that could no longer see the original color and appearance, as dirty as the quilt on his body, and the clothes on the person's body.
The man felt the itching of his scalp in his sleep, and stretched out his gnawing fingers to scratch the oily hair.
"It's time to eat!" There was a shout from outside.
The person on the bed swooped up, his movements were extremely agile, and in the next second, he ran out of the house barefoot and came to the gate of the palace, becoming the first person to stand at the gate of the palace.
I saw that the quiet palace suddenly emerged from all directions with the same miserable people as that person, you fight for me, just to be the first person to receive food in front of the palace gate.
"Get out of here." The first person to arrive at the gate of the palace was kicked away by the people behind, and the person who was kicked away got up from the ground and came up again, but was squeezed back by the others.
"Give." She was the last person to receive the meal.
A bowl of gruel, half a rancid steamed bun, no greens and slices of meat, and even pickles are empty.
She leaned on the ground, looked out of the hole where the rice was kept, and looked longingly at the official who was putting the rice outside.
The official glanced at it habitually, and scolded with a habitual smile: "It's your last again, you're really stupid, let you come out early and wait, yes, you have to be hungry again." ”
With a few clangs, several shelled peanuts bounced in and fell into the bowl of steamed buns.
The woman put away her bowl preciously, quickly poured the porridge into her mouth on the spot, and put a few peanuts into the gap in the belt around her waist, and finally tore and swallowed her steamed bun with a big gulp, while her eyes were still looking around, alert if someone came forward to grab it.
Fortunately, everyone didn't mean it today, and no one grabbed her food when she put the bowl away after eating.
She hurriedly bowed her head and retracted into the room, and after entering the door, she paused and began to look around, rummaging around, and finally picked up a ball of cloth that could be seen to be pillows in a clean place where there was no rain in the corner.
The woman showed her yellow teeth that were not visible and covered with dirt, she was smiling, she carefully picked up the pillow, took it with her hand, and made an oh oh oh coaxing sound in her mouth, and shook it as she walked, and after a while, she stopped and sat on the edge of the simple bed, opened her clothes, and made a breastfeeding motion.
"Eat quickly, grow up quickly after eating, Eniang's little Ayu, Khan Ama will definitely like you very much, you look so cute, how can anyone not like you? Isn't that right......"
After a while, the woman kissed the pillow, carefully placed it on the side of the bed, lay down with her clothes, and watched it fall asleep.
In the next moment, she opened her eyes again and viciously slammed the pillow into the corner just now: "You are not my little Ah Yu at all, what about the little Ah Yu of this palace?" Who is going to harm Hongu! ”
Then he began to cry again, hugging his head and crying: "Your Majesty, the concubines are wronged, the concubines are wronged, ...... wronged."
After a while, this voice spread outside, and the sound of shouting and injustice continued to sound throughout the palace......
"Lin Tou, what's going on here again?"
"Whatever, eh, don't move, I've won."
"Why do you lose so quickly, I ......"
The two officials guarding the gate outside the palace gate set up a tea and wine table under the shed, touched Pai Gow, and shook their heads while chatting with the ugly opera inside.
