Chapter 43: That's Great!
Recalling the past, is it considered to carve a boat for a sword in the long river of time?
Luo Cong'an couldn't answer this question.
But if she could, she would like to stay in that time with her husband forever.
……
……
In the fourth year of Tianxuan, it snowed heavily in Guanping City.
In the past few years since the new emperor came to power, he has been severely taxed, and he has encountered such an extremely harsh climate, and for a while, I don't know how many people will starve to death and how many people will freeze to death.
Especially the helpless beggars in the city.
Because of the heavy snow, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and there was no object for begging, so they could only cower in the corner with a hungry stomach and wail, waiting for the last moment of their lives.
Luo Cong'an is also one of them.
She tightened her thin and tattered clothes, but at the age of seven or eight, she couldn't see the innocence and liveliness of other children of the same age in her eyes, only death-like numbness and indifference.
The little girl leaned against the corner deep in the alley, her body cold and stiff.
She thought that if there was no accident, she probably wouldn't have survived tonight.
The wind and snow are often more violent at night, and many beggars living on the streets will die on such nights.
They don't deserve sympathy, and no one sympathizes.
Because every poor person who lives on the street always has something hateful behind him.
Just like Luo Cong'an.
From the beginning of birth, it is a scourge that should not exist.
When she was born, her mother was too weak to make it out of that winter because of difficult childbirth.
The news spread, and the neighbors came to pay a condolence visit.
But within two years, my father also died, dying in the mountains where he went out hunting, and never came back.
So a lot of nonsense couldn't help but gather on this ignorant little girl.
People say that she is ominous, that she killed her parents and ruined a whole happy family.
Fortunately, her uncle stepped forward and adopted her.
But those discussions did not disappear, but kept lingering around Luo Cong'an, and they would pop up from time to time.
It wasn't until she was six years old that her uncle who adopted her gave up.
Because the inheritance that should be obtained has already been pocketed, then she has lost the need to exist for her uncle.
What's more, my uncle's family has come to a Taoist priest this year.
The Taoist priest stared at the little girl for a long time, and then took several steps back in shock, calling her a demon.
The words of the Taoist priest aroused widespread agreement among everyone.
After all, looking at that snow-white and demonic long hair, what kind of normal person can it be?
The white hair and red eyes became the evidence of the little girl's murder of her parents.
The uncle naturally discarded her, leaving the family with one less mouth to eat.
Although Luo Cong'an never thought that she was unknown, she had little room for resistance when she was young.
Everything can only be forced to bear.
To this day, it seems that she is finally about to be liberated.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with ending it early......
Luo Cong'an was thinking blankly, and suddenly heard a burst of rustling footsteps ringing in his ears.
She subconsciously wanted to stretch out her hand and kneel down to beg, after all, survival is human instinct.
You must know that on such a snowy day, it is not easy to meet someone who is away from home.
But the next moment, she still stopped her movements.
It's just that the head that was already buried between the legs was buried a little deeper.
The footsteps suddenly stopped.
Immediately after, it was a gentle male voice.
"Do you want to come with me?"
In an instant, Luo Cong'an thought that he was so hungry that he had auditory hallucinations.
She didn't move.
Then the male voice sounded again, but this time it was a slightly regretful sigh.
"Don't you want to?"
He asked again.
This time Luo Cong'an heard it clearly, she suddenly raised her head, and under the dirty and smelly white hair, those eyes were full of disbelief.
She heard it right, and it wasn't an auditory hallucination.
It's that someone is actually saying it.
The will to die, which had just been established, was immediately destroyed by an even stronger desire to survive.
The little girl hurriedly knelt down in front of the young man, kowtowed her head with all her strength, and kept saying in her mouth: "Yes, yes, I beg Gongzi to take me in, I can do anything...... I'm very capable, I can do whatever I want......"
Chen An bent down and helped her up.
Then he took a closer look, the first heroine of this system.
Her hair was no longer white and shiny, but was stained with stinking muddy dirt, her eyebrows were thin and long, and her little face was covered with tiny cuts.
She was dressed in a garment that was so worn that it could only be called fabric, her bare skin was blue from the cold, and her petite body was constantly trembling.
Aside from her strange red eyes, she doesn't look much different from other beggars.
When Chen An looked at her, Luo Cong'an was also peeking cautiously.
Her feet were cramped together, rubbing her fingers a little uneasily, and when she was about to make eye contact with Chen An, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
For fear of annoying Chen An, he turned around and left.
After a while, seeing that the young man was still stunned and did not speak, the hope that had just been ignited in the little girl's heart was visibly extinguished.
She couldn't help but think, yes, how can people look at her dirty appearance?
If it were her, and she met such an ugly and stinky rotten beggar on the road, even if she didn't say it on her face, she would definitely secretly dislike it in her heart.
If it were those lords of Zhuyi Lane, they would have to let the servants kick them away, so as not to contaminate her with bad luck.
After all, it is not the first time that Luo Cong'an has been treated like this.
Thinking like this, the light in the girl's eyes slowly faded again, and she returned to her original numbness.
In these days, the most valuable thing is human life.
Even if you really want to find someone or something, you won't choose a weak and useless little girl like her.
Luo Cong'an felt sorry for himself, moved his steps, and wanted to return to the corner.
Although the walls are cold and biting, they are also a reliance.
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by the other hand.
It is warm to the touch and is very comfortable.
Let Luo jump from peace of mind a little faster.
Then, Chen An spoke, still in that gentle and gentle voice.
He smiled: "I'm sorry, I was a little surprised to see your white hair and red eyes just now." ”
White hair, red eyes.
Luo Cong'an keenly caught these two words, she lowered her head and twitched her hand vigorously.
Didn't twitch.
The other party held it tightly.
But Luo Cong'an's voice trembled, with a hint of crying.
"I know, I was born unknown, I don't need you to emphasize, you let go......"
Her anxious appearance made Chen An's face a little stunned.
He thought for a moment and smiled knowingly.
"You seem to have misunderstood."
"I mean, white hair and red eyes or something, that's really...... It's great. ”
