"Hungry, hungry......" The man on the bed made a faint sound with his eyes closed, and then a voice that could not be heard whether it was a man or a woman.

"Wake up, third sister, the little white face you saved has woken up. ”

"Katsuko, if you talk nonsense again, I'll cut your tongue. A female voice came from a full of energy, and the edge of the bed tilted slightly, as if someone had sat up.

Suddenly, the pain spread throughout his body along his arm, and the monster screamed and sat up violently.

At the head of the bed sat a brightly dressed woman wrapped in a headscarf, although the woman was dressed strangely, her eyebrows were heroic, and her eyes were a little sharp.

"Mother, mother......" The young man shouted indistinctly, suddenly pushed the woman away and ran out of bed, looked at the people around him vigilantly, and shouted indiscriminately, "Wan Qi, Wan Qi ......"

The boy ran around the house a few times, hit a stool and fell to the ground, he looked up at the people around him, one hand on his chest, the other hand on the ground and stepped back, making strange noises in his mouth.

The woman who was called the third sister came over, squatted in front of the young man, and said softly: "You were rescued by us from the Xiuyao River, do you remember who your surname is, and where do you live?"

The young man looked at the woman, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her, and the momentum was so fast that the others couldn't help but exclaim.

The woman's face did not change, she grabbed the young man's hand and pulled it, and slashed his neck with the other hand, and the latter twitched his face and fell to the ground like mud.

A girl breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Third sister, this guy is a madman, let's throw him away." ”

"Ying'er, how do you speak. Shengzi glanced at the girl, "Didn't the third sister save him just because this young man was handsome, how could she afford to lose it." ”

The third sister turned her head to look at Shengzi, her tone was a little displeased, and said, "If you have time, you might as well practice singing, and don't chew the root of your tongue here." He should be irritated and now delirious, you carry him to bed. ”

"Sister, you said that we sing opera everywhere, what prince and grandson nobles can't meet? There is no shortage of this stupid boy, he is crazy and crazy, and he is in trouble. ”

"You are really lenient, I have played enough, I want to change my taste, it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks, you remember, this kid is the man raised by my Du Ruoqin from now on." The third sister kicked Katsuko, who fell down with a sigh.

Du Ruoqin looks like she is in her early thirties, her skin is very well maintained, and she is no different from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

"Silly boy, you eat slowly. Du Ruoqin looked at the young man distressedly, "You really don't remember what your name is." ”

Du Luo's hand paused, did not look up, did not speak, and continued to lie on the stomach of the porridge in the bowl.

Du Ruoqin was a little more disappointed in her eyes, and sighed: "That's it, if you don't remember it, I'll call you a big one, a stupid big one." You eat slowly, it's not enough, I'll take you out to see when you're done. ”

"Can't you hear me, or can't you speak?"

Du Luozhi let out a soft snort, not knowing whether it was positive or negative.

"Our opera troupe, it has been almost a year since the formation, the head of the class is my uncle, plus me, there are a total of 26 people, we have no fixed residence, we can live wherever we sing, our main income is to sing for dignitaries, and half a month is the birthday of Du Fu Du Yuanwai, we will go to Du Fu to live in a few days. ”

Du Luozhi snorted slightly.

"Forget it, you should rest in the house when you are full, you have just woken up and are weak, take care of it for a few days. ”

The night was cool, Du Luozhi sat cross-legged on the bed, his body flashed with a faint purple light, his brows were furrowed, the purple light flickered on and off, and suddenly all disappeared.

Du Luozhi snorted and opened his eyes.

The door creaked open, and a figure walked to the side of the bed, there was a slight sound, as if something had landed, the figure slowly sat on the bed, and with the faint light, Du Luozhi saw Du Ruoqin's charming eyes, and was startled and jumped up.

As soon as he moved, his internal organs seemed to be tightly dragged by a hand, and his face was bitter, and his face twitched slightly.

"You don't have to be surprised, you are the man I raised, so you should serve me to sleep, come here. ”

Du Luozhi leaned against the wall and did not move.

"Don't you know your situation? If I don't cover you, you'll be driven into the street tomorrow to ask for food, and you should do everything you can to please me, and let me keep you. ”

Du Luozhi moved his mouth, but he didn't say half a word, pulled the quilt, curled up on the table and fell asleep.

Du Ruoqin looked at Du Luozhi, who was sleeping on the table with his back to her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, there was no man who had seen her who was not hungry and thirsty, this little fool actually had a little determination.

"Tell me, a mute who can't speak, lying in the house every day and doing nothing, the third sister prefers to eat and drink well, and let us serve tea and water, it's just sick. ”

"Isn't it, our drama troupe doesn't have much work, and sometimes we still live with our belts, how can we afford to support such an idler. ”

"Forget it, be quiet, he can't hear it. ”

"He's a dumb man, and if I beat him, he won't be able to tell anyone. ”

The door was slammed open, Du Luozhi frowned, and looked coldly at the two young men who came in.

Both of them are dressed in linen coarse clothes, with undisguised disgust for Du Luozhi on their faces, they are both members of the opera troupe, one is called Shunli, the other is a little lame, everyone calls him Chen Cripple.

"Stinky dumb, eat. The two of them unceremoniously stomped the tray on the table, and half of the soup spilled out, and the table was shiny.

Du Luozhi leaned on the head of the bed, slowly withdrew his eyes, closed his eyes and recuperated, no longer paying attention to the two who were making trouble unreasonably.

"Get out of work after eating, our drama troupe doesn't raise the disabled, don't think that if you have a third sister covering you, you don't have to do anything. ”

It's no wonder that these two people dislike it, the men Du Ruoqin usually hooks up with are either rich and powerful sons, who give them silver tickets to play when they have nothing to do; is the only one who falls on this, none of them, and has a cloudy face all day long, which is naturally annoying.

He also has a bit of a posture with this face, and Du Ruoqin took a fancy to him.

"What nonsense are you talking to him, a beggar who has a mother and no mother, let's go. Shun waved his hand impatiently, not noticing that Du Luozhi opened his eyes and stared at him with a bit of murderous aura.

Out of nowhere, a cold air invaded, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, the white gas visible to the naked eye permeated the room, and the wall began to form a thin frost, the two looked around in confusion, and they were afraid for no reason, and the cold air climbed up the bodies of the two, so cold that people lost consciousness.

In just a moment, the cold receded.

Du Luozhi's face turned pale in an instant, and there was no trace of blood.

"Let's go, let's go......" The two were shocked, and they didn't know if what had just happened was a hallucination, and left the house in a panic.

It was just dawn, and the sound of the sorrow woke Du Luozhi up.

There was a muffled voice outside, and there was the sound of moving things.

With a clang, the door was pushed open, and the cold light shone in, Chen Cripple stood outside, limped in, lifted the quilt of Du Luo, and scolded and said: "Yesterday I said that I would go to Du Mansion this morning, you don't fucking work, forget it, and I want me to call you to get up, don't die and move things." ”

As Chen crippled as he spoke, he dragged Du Luozhi out, and with a bang, the latter fell under the bed.

"I asked you to wake up the big one, what are you doing!" Du Ruoqin's angry voice came from outside the door.

Chen Cripple immediately changed his smile and said, "Third sister, the big one doesn't want to get up, I'm pulling him up." ”

"Let's get out. Du Ruoqin tilted her head and walked in with the light on her back, her shadow was elongated, her face was blurred, and her footsteps were sonorous and powerful.

Du Luozhi sat up, patted his chest, and the chaotic breath in his body calmed down again.

Du Ruoqin squatted in front of him, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Big one, I saved you and raised you, I was so good to you, you can't let me down." ”

That smile, with a bit of playfulness, has both the charm of a woman and the heroism of a man, and his heart jumps when he sees it, and he hurriedly looks away.

"Let's go, we're going to Du Mansion, we have to eat and drink. ”

Two carriages dragged a few big boxes, and the group went on the road, out of the city gate, it was a rugged stone road, everyone still had a tired look on their faces, numbly followed the carriage, Du Luozhi was fortunate to ride in the carriage with Du Ruoqin, and the class owner Yang Dingxin sat in another carriage.

"It's so fragrant, it smells like jasmine. Du Ruoqin took a deep breath and laughed lightly.

"Third sister, spring hasn't arrived yet, and you're starting to think about spring? ha. Katsuko shouted loudly, and everyone laughed so hard that the road shook.

"Why am I looking at the ground shaking so much?"

"Everyone, hold your breath, this fragrance is strange!" As soon as Yang Dingxin's voice fell, as if to verify what he said, the people walking behind fell to the ground one after another, and even the two horses pulling the cart staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.

"I opened this road, and I planted this tree. ”

"I want to pass by from now on and leave to buy road money. ”

Masked bandits jumped out from all directions, numbering no less than twenty.

Yang Dingxin half leaned on the carriage, feeling weak all over his body, knowing that it was these bandits who wanted to rob the money, and said helplessly: "Hero, there are a few taels of thin silver in the box, although the hero took it to buy wine and drink, he only begged to spare the lives of a group of people." ”

"We are principled bandits, we only take money, we don't kill people. The bandit leader winked, and immediately went up and several bandits took the boxes off the carriage.

"Second master, second master, come and see this girl, she looks really smart. ”

"Is it?" the person who was called the second master didn't look at it, and waved his hand directly, "Take it back and dedicate it to the big boss." ”

"You dare!" Du Ruoqin's eyes widened, looking at the bandits angrily, if it weren't for the fact that she was weak now, she would have to jump up and beat this group of daring bandits.

"Take it away. The bandits swarmed up and carried her on their shoulders.
