3. Brother of the guard

Sannan Su lay on the straw pile in the firewood room, she had not eaten for two whole days, the firewood room was stuffy and hot, her new clothes were soaked with sweat, she missed her modern hometown at this time, missed the days of blowing the air conditioner at home, lying on the bed and playing with her mobile phone, at that time she was the baby of the family, living a life of clothes to reach out for food to open her mouth, but in this hierarchical ancient times, she would lose her life if she didn't say a word, this kind of knife hanging on her head felt really unpleasant, how could she get out of this predicament?

She looked down at her small body, and couldn't think of a way out even if she wanted to break her head. At this time, she remembered that when she was a child, her mother took her to church, and the Sunday school teacher said that Jesus was the God who created all things in the universe, that He died on the Cross to atone for his sins, and that He rose from the dead three days later, and that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life.

After death, the soul goes to heaven and will rise from the dead in the future. Whatever difficulties he encounters in this life, if you pray sincerely, He will hear.

When she thought of this, she prayed with the mindset of trying it out, saying, "Lord Jesus, deliver me from this wood-chamber, forgive me my sins, I am hungry now, please move people to bring me something to eat."

Deliver me from slavery, and give me grace before my master. When she had finished praying, she felt no longer hopeless and had an unexpected peace.

She calmed down and slept for a while, when she suddenly heard someone outside open the door of the firewood room, and a dark shadow walked in, she immediately woke up and asked: Who is it?

The visitor walked up to her and whispered, "Miss Nanxu, you're hungry, get up and eat something."

Nan Su was startled, through the hazy moonlight, she saw that it was one of the guards in charge of buying who was talking to her, he handed the kettle in his hand to Nan Xu, Nan Su drank a lot of water, and the guard put a box of osmanthus cakes in Nan Xu's hand, and whispered: I have to go, I will bring you food tomorrow.

Nan Xu was moved in his heart and said: Brother Guard, thank you! How do you know I haven't eaten? The guard said: The boy has not returned to the house in the past few days, and the key to the firewood room is with him, and the maids are in a hurry, so they can't bring you food in.

I just picked the lock to open the door. Nan Xu said: You picked the lock? Will the master punish you when he comes back?

The guard smiled innocently: Don't worry, human life is at stake, and the master will not punish me heavily! After speaking, he walked out of the firewood room, locked the lock and hurried away.

Nan Xu slowly ate three pieces of osmanthus cake, rested for a while, and felt that he had some strength in his body. She thought that she had just finished praying an hour before the guards came to bring her food, did the Lord Jesus hear her prayer?

But maybe she didn't pray that the guard would have sent it, right? She was a little wavering in her heart. On the third day, in the morning and at noon, she drank the remaining water in the kettle, ate the osmanthus cake in the box, and in the evening, the guard came to the firewood room again to bring her food, this time he sent three hot scallion pancakes and a pot of white raw soybean milk, Nan Xu drank a few mouthfuls of soy milk, took a bite of the scallion pancake, and said: Brother guard, this scallion pancake is so fragrant, did you buy it from the street?

The guard was embarrassed to disturb his head and said, "This is the bread that my mother baked." Nan Xu listened to the warmth in his heart.

She asked: Brother guard, where did you buy the osmanthus cake yesterday? The guard said: On my way home after duty yesterday, I walked past a pastry shop, and I suddenly remembered that you have been locked in the firewood room for two days and have not eaten, will there be anything wrong?

I bought the pastry and sent it over. Nan Xu asked: How long does it take from the time you want to buy pastries to meet me in the firewood room?

The guard said, "Half an hour, when Nan Su heard that it was really Jesus who listened to her prayer this time, he touched the guard's heart and asked him to bring him food.

Nan Xu said: Brother guard, I really thank you this time, and thank you for me, I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity.

By the way, Brother Guard, isn't the lock picked? Why can't others get in? The guard said: The lock was picked, and now I fell down slightly and opened it without the key, but more is better than less, and it is still locked from the outside, so no one else will come in.

After the guard finished speaking, he took yesterday's empty kettle and snack box, walked out of the firewood room and locked the broken lock, and went home.

The master came back at noon on the fifth day, and as soon as he got home, he handed over the key to the firewood room to Qiushui and asked her to lead Nansu out, Qiushui had just walked a short distance, and a guard hurriedly robbed her of the key to the firewood room in her hand, and said enthusiastically: Sister Qiushui, what should I do if such a poisonous sun burns your tender skin?

Just find a place to cool off, and I'll bring people out for you." Qiushui saw that he was the little guard in charge of purchasing, so he went.

The guard quickly came to the firewood room, unlocked it with his hand, and said to Nan Xu: Little girl, the master has let you out.

Nan Xu snorted coldly: If I count on him, there may be no life at this time! The guard neatly carried the broken lock and key in his arms, hung the kettle around his waist, took out a new lock of the same kind from his sleeve pocket, took the new key in his hand, and said to Nan Xu: What are you still doing in a daze, go back quickly.

Nan Xu said: Brother guard, you said that I jumped in like this, can the master believe that I am a child who has been hungry for five days?

The guard was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not like that." Nan Xu smiled, immediately kneaded his hair into a chicken nest, grabbed some soil from the ground and wiped it on his face, lay on the straw with a weak look, and said with a smile: Brother guard, does this look like this?

The guard said, "That's it." Nan Xu said: Brother guard, I'm so hungry that I can't walk, you can carry me in.

The guards were a little embarrassed at the moment, after all, men and women were not intimate, but when he thought that Nan Su was still an eight-year-old child, he no longer hesitated, and picked up Nan Su and went to the Flowing Water Pavilion.

On the way, he met Qiushui waiting for him under the tree, so he handed her the new key, and the two entered the Flowing Water Pavilion together.

The guards put Nan Su down, Nan Su knelt on the ground, and said weakly: The slave has seen the son. Mo Wuxian looked at Nan Su in front of him, only to see that her hair was messy like a chicken nest, and her green clothes were wrinkled, the original white and smooth little face became dark yellow, and the whole person looked weak and weak, he felt distressed for no reason, and said softly: I wanted to scare you that day, and I didn't want to lock you up for a day, but I didn't expect that my son would go out for five days before coming back, but it hurt you.

After speaking, he said to Qiushui: In the future, the keys to the firewood house and the treasury will be handed over to you. He said to the spring breeze again: Hurry up and bathe Nanxu and change her clothes, and feed her some good food.

Nan Xu said weakly: Thank you, Childe. The spring breeze and Qiushui helped Nan Su bathe and change clothes, dried her hair, fed a bowl of minced porridge, and Nan Su slowly came to the son.

Without a trace, his eyes suddenly lit up, Xiao Nanxu was wearing a light green Yahuan dress, with long hair that reached his waist, a white little round face, his skin could be broken by blowing, a pair of red phoenix eyes, a small nose, and a red mouth, looking at him timidly.

Traceless's heart was soft, he didn't expect this little girl to be so good-looking, he seemed to see her look like she would be captivated when she grew up from her clear Danfeng eyes, such a girl may be of great use in the future.

His eyes deepened a little. It's just that he is a little strange, this little baby who has been hungry for five days has recovered to such an excellent complexion after eating a bowl of porridge?

He said warmly: Nanxu, you go and rest, my son will give you seven days off, and you can not be on duty in the house.

Nan Su happily thanked him and went back to the east compartment to rest.
