18 Woe to the city of Yanzhuo (18)
Hua'er shook her head and sat back down. She realized that she was worried that the Flying Slave had said a lot of things that she shouldn't have said. She's out of control. She was so sad. The third child was lost, Baiqiling's cat died, and on the day of the new year, all the joy of the year was gone.
She sat there and felt the sun rise and the room warm. She didn't know what else to say, and she didn't speak, and Bai Qiling also sat there and didn't speak. The two experience a silent confrontation.
Bai Qiling is not very good at sensing the emotions of others, but the person in front of him today is abnormal, the bones of his body seem to have been sucked away, and his fighting spirit is completely lost. Isn't she used to acting? Doesn't she know how to be a little low, and she will also sprinkle and spill? How did she feel like she was dead?
Bai Qiling stepped forward and kicked her, but it wasn't a kick, her toes lightly knocked on her legs, and with a little force, she moved, and raised her eyes to look at him. He kicked again, and she was still like that.
"Dead?" Bai Qiling asked her.
She shook her head, her mouth suffocated, and she looked discouraged: "It's the third brother who lost the cicada, and the mother of the cicada is crazy." ”
"How did you lose it?"
"I don't know. We had a drink last night, and we were so happy, we were all so drunk that we couldn't hear anything outside. When we woke up in the middle of the night, we were gone. Ah Yu chased after him, all the way out of the city, and saw two people, one with a knife and the other with something like a child, and he fought with them. But they actually answered, Ah Yu was knocked unconscious, and I don't know why they didn't kill him. But when he opened his eyes, the third brother was gone, completely gone. Hua'er stretched out her arm: "The little third brother is only so big..."
She said nonsense: "They all say that Second Master Bai is doing secret business, so does Second Master Bai recognize those who steal children?" Once upon a time, some people said that they stole children and took out bones to stew soup for the official master, and a child could be sold for a lot of silver... Does Second Master Bai know them? I don't want a penny for Bai Erye in the future, can Bai Erye help me... Good no good? ”
Hua'er grabbed his trouser leg and put her head on it: "Aunt Wang will stuff it to me if she stutters, she herself is almost out of milk, go to other people's houses to work as a helper, and she will stuff me half of the bun that others give her..."
Bai Qiling didn't speak, squatted down, grabbed her by the collar and asked her to look at him, and asked softly, "Do you know why Ah Yu didn't die?" ”
The flower shook her head in confusion.
Bai Qiling shouted: "Hum general! ”
Hum walked in and pulled back his sleeves, a lot of blood oozing from the strip of cloth wrapped around his left arm. Hum will also be nosy, and it happened suddenly, and he ran away with Ah Yu before he had time to return to Bing. Ran out of the city, and saw Ah Yu fighting with someone, at first he looked like he could win, but the other party suddenly had a few more people. Ah Yu was knocked to the ground and snorted badly! Covered his face and went out to save people. He worked hard, and although he suffered a loss, he saved Ah Yu.
"Who are they?" Hua'er asked Bai Qiling: "Who is it?" ”
"It doesn't matter who it is, you just need to know, I can't help with this. I am not a person with hands and eyes to the sky, in this troubled world, people step on people, and there are people on people. Stealing a child and there are so many people who will answer it, and I can't wait for it. ”
Bai Qiling waved his hand to hum the general, and continued: "The person who killed my cat will definitely die, you can see it with your own eyes later." ”
"The yamen doesn't care..."
The corners of Bai Qiling's mouth moved, wanting to laugh at her innocence. Pulled her up and walked a few steps to push the door open, and a man was tied up in the kung fu rack outside at some point, his head was covered with black cloth, and he was already covered with bruises. The bloodstained flowers on the sleeves felt familiar, and then looked at the figure. Hua'er panicked and grabbed Bai Qiling: "Second Master Bai, I beg you, Second Master Bai..."
Bai Qiling ignored her pleas for mercy and ordered to the eagle: "Do it." ”
When the eagle's short knife pierced the man's neck, the screams of the flowers came out at the same time, and she cried and crawled to the kung fu rack, stood up and pressed the man's bloody neck, crying: "Flying slave... The man was dead, and there was no more to be heard. Hua'er looked back at Bai Qiling: "Save him.. Save him... I beg you..."
The eagle ripped off the man's mask, not a flying slave. The flower was stunned, and even forgot to breathe, and fell to the ground.
"Bring her in."
"Yes."
The eagle took the flowers in and put them on the collapse, so that they could be dealt with. He didn't ask Bai Qiling why he wanted to scare her, and he could roughly guess that he would knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. Although it is not a tiger, it is just a pawn of a peddler. After all, he let the flying slave go. Bai Qiling does not kill innocent people, the cat was killed quietly yesterday, and he only suspects the flying slave. The flying slave was caught by the cat, and was scratched by the cat and did not allow him to enter the White Mansion, and he was resentful from beginning to end. He's the most suspicious.
When Hua'er woke up again, she noticed that the house was very warm, and she was covered with a thin quilt and lay in a soft place. Is it the underworld? The underworld is so good. She thought. The underworld is so good, can you have a table of wine and food, and a good clothes? Is there that touching little song singing?
"Get up when you wake up." Bai Qiling, who was sitting in front of the bookcase and flipping through the book, watched her churn on the collapse and said so.
His voice pulled the flower back to her senses, and she sat up and looked at him blankly.
"Second Master Bai summoned the minions today, can there be anything else?" Flowers asked.
"Nope."
"Just want flowers to see how you kill?"
Bai Qiling didn't make a sound, and only asked the eagle to send her away. Bai Qiling's heart was too hard. Hua'er knew that there were not many good people in business who were officials in Yanzhuo City, but she saw it again if she didn't blink an eye and didn't put the yamen in her eyes like Bai Qiling.
The man's blood was very hot, her paper coat was full of blood, and at this moment she smelled the smell of blood on her body, her stomach turned over and she hurriedly covered her mouth, and hurriedly pushed the door out to breathe. The cold wind blew against her, and large flakes of snow fell on her head. The kung fu was empty, and the huge courtyard was covered with snow, as if the killing had not happened.
The flower was very afraid, holding the pillar with both hands, and did not know what to do for a moment.
"Let's go back and spend the New Year." The eagle reminded from the side.
"Oh." She groaned, but didn't move.
She was frightened.
I can't come back to my senses.
On her first night as a gentry, she heard a faint shout, and the next day she heard that her neck had been wiped off. At that time, she still thought about what kind of death it was to wipe her neck, and she saw it this day. She realized that Bai Qiling didn't kill her because she was a useful "thing", and he didn't kill the flying slave, probably because the flying slave was useful to him. But he wants to deter the flying slave and tell him that you are not allowed to touch the things in Baiqiling, and sooner or later he will find you for his life.
Hua'er's mind was in confusion, and the moment she hung her head, her scattered hair fell down. She walked into the wind and snow and looked back at Bai Qiling. He stood under the verandah, meeting her gaze.
Man is a sword, I am a fish.
Everyone has a knife, everyone has fish and meat.
In this troubled world, how to gain a foothold, the flowers understand this day. Outright good people crawl to live, and ruthless wicked people can say it.
The eagle accompanied her out of the White Mansion and followed her behind.
On the day of the New Year, the sixteenth street and alley are really lively, and there is the smell of meat in the evening. The red lantern was hung from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, and the Sun Mansion also invited a singer, and the tactful drama was two miles away. She listened intently, and even heard laughter within the wall. The corner door creaked open, and out came a woman in a cloak, carrying a basket in her right arm. She walked out of the deep alley, and when she passed the flowers, she felt that the face was familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was because of the chaos of the day.
The girl stood still in front of her, and her tone of speech was really powerful: "Isn't this the girl who came to Sun's Mansion to serve dishes that day?" That's the hairy one! ”
Hua'er finally remembered that this was the big girl called the bell. Before she could speak, the bell continued, "Hurry home and change your clothes!" What is running outside on Chinese New Year's Eve? After speaking, he covered his nose and looked at the blood on her body: "This body of blood, even wild dogs will chase you for two miles!" After speaking, he took out two white steamed buns from the bamboo basket and stuffed them to her: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" ”
Without waiting for the flower's answer, he turned around and left.
Only then did she remember that there was still a grandmother waiting for her at home, and she looked down at the blood on her body, for fear of scaring her grandmother, so she took off her coat and put it on in the ice and snow. The flying slave came to look for her, and she saw it from afar, and her heart was terrified. He turned to the eagle and said, "Eagle eagle, don't give it away." Let's go back and celebrate the New Year. ”
The eagle glanced at the flying slave and turned to leave.
The flower ran to the flying slave and pulled at his sleeve and ran. Between the runs, the flying slave asked her, "Hua'er, why are you so flustered?" ”
Hua'er ran to a place where no one was, panting unevenly, and said sharply: "Brother Feinu, let me ask you, did you kill the wild cat in Baifu!" ”
Feinu's face was full of confusion: "What am I doing killing a wild cat?" ”
"You came back last night with blood on your sleeves!"
"I fell on the dock, I don't believe you go ask Fang Er!"
Hua'er refused to believe it, and Feinu pulled her: "Go, go ask now." Only then did I see that her clothes were worn backwards, and the collar of her clothes was oozing blood. He asked Hua'er what was wrong, but Hua'er refused to say, but said to him: "You swear to me that you didn't kill the wild cats in Baifu!" ”
"It's not!" Fei Nu was anxious: "What are you doing with me when the wild cat is dead!" ”
The breath that Hua'er was holding in her heart finally slowly exhaled and squatted on the ground. She thought: Fortunately, there is a Fang Er who can testify, but fortunately, Fei Nu didn't do that foolish thing.
Standing calm outside the door before entering the house, Fang pretended to be happy and shouted: "Grandma, I'm back!" Rushing into the house, Grandma Sun answered her, she ran to pull a new jacket and ran inside to change her clothes, and then threw away the broken paper fur, before finally doing it and having a New Year's dinner with Grandma.
After the meal, she pillowed on her grandmother's lap and listened to her reciting her grandfather, and whenever this happened, Hua'er felt happy. This whole day, her heart was finally at peace, she secretly shed a tear, wiped it away, and then the corner of her mouth was torn open: "Ah Gong really has a lot of eyes!" ”
When Grandma slept, she went to see the cicada.
The poor cicada looked at Aunt Wang, who had been crazy all day, and was sitting at the door of the house wiping her tears. Hua'er Haosheng comforted her and asked her what she should do next, but the cicada shook her head: "I don't know, Lang Zhong came again today, saying that my mother wanted to drink seven pairs of recipes, and said that she couldn't leave people." "It takes money, but the flowers understand. She still has twenty yuan, and the basket of things that Bai Qiling rewarded her.
The cicada refused to ask for it, because she still had her grandmother to raise, and the two refused and finally gave up. Later, when the night came in the snow, the cicada refused to pay attention to him, and he put down a money bag and stood there for a long time before leaving.
The next day, the cicada went to the ink shop early, pulled Master Mo to a place where no one was, as if he had made up his mind, his fingers twisted the clothes, and his lips were about to bite and bleed.
Master Mo asked her, "Have you thought about it?" ”
The cicada nodded: "I think about it." ”
"Even at the risk of being beheaded?"
"Yes."
Master Mo sighed and said, "There is no right or wrong in the world, just win or lose; Settle down, right and wrong, each according to his ability. Bets on the bowl are overflowing, bets on the wrong game are all lost. Since then, you're on your way. ”
The cicada lowered her head, her trembling fingertips slowly stroked the words on it, and sobbed softly.
