Chapter Fifty-Six: I Used to Have It
Her name is Cai Yan, Yan, which means beautiful, and the original intention of Cai Jing's name must be to hope that his daughter can be accompanied by beauty all her life! But unfortunately, people will become forgetful because of the years.
I still remember that year, she was still Yun Ying's unmarried unmarried eldest lady, and her father had just become the dynasty's Zaifu, not the current world-famous Cai Xiang. At that time, several of his brothers loved each other and loved her very much, holding her in the palm of their hands. At that time, she was the pearl of her father's palm, and no matter how willful she was, she would be tolerated by her father.
However, time is the most ruthless, allowing people to forget their true feelings, to forget justice, and to forget their perseverance.
Therefore, when his father, in order to consolidate his position, wanted to use her as a tool of exchange for marriage, she ran away from the house crying. She ran between the mountains and fields, but she didn't know where the world could be accommodated.
She was lucky enough to have walked out of Tokyo for a long time without encountering danger, but finally, in a small town, she was discovered by her father's minions.
She took a lot of jewelry with her when she went, a lot of money on her, bought a good horse, and didn't know the direction, so she just ran desperately out of the city.
Eventually, she escaped from those men.
However, at this time, she was physically and mentally exhausted. It's been two days, and I haven't gone home for two whole days, and I've been hiding, exhausted. She is a weak woman, and she can persevere, just for that little bit of freedom.
It's a pity that the heavens seem to be deliberately playing tricks on her.
When she ran to the point where she could no longer run, several people stopped her. It was a few robbers, and they had done a few small businesses along the way, although they were all ordinary people, but they relied on the large number of people to attack the old and weak women and children.
Cai Yan doesn't know martial arts, she is a daughter, although she is dressed as a man and her face is black, she can't change her weak body, so that these people treat her as a Chinese meal.
Soon, Cai Yan was caught, and the two of them each grabbed one of her hands to prevent her from breaking free, and the other people went directly to search for the burden on Cai Yan's horse's back.
Naturally, she won't miss it, a thin man is going to search her body.
Of course, she resisted vigorously, and raised a kick to hit the man's key part, and the man's eyes widened, and he bent down and rolled on the ground.
The other people were furious and were about to come forward to hit her, when they suddenly heard the surprised cries of three or four people searching for something, and they knew that they must have found something good.
"Brother Tiger, it's all a girl's thing, he must have stolen it! A big man, how can he have these things?" the pock-faced ugly man shouted at this side.
This 'Brother Tiger' is the boss elected by them, and he is the most bold and careful, so he has done several transactions without danger.
"No, maybe our brother will enjoy the beauty today!" This man was much stronger and darker than the others, and his eyes were full of surprise.
"What do you say, Brother Tiger" The little brother next to him was very puzzled.
"You are stupid, it must be that Brother Tiger has found clues, just ask the thief, where did he steal these things?" Another man who claimed to be smart was very contemptuous of the first person to speak.
"Then aren't we going to burglary? Will that leave a horse's feet, and if you are caught, you will be caught!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, of course I won't put my brothers in danger, woman, isn't there a ready-made one here?"
The crowd was puzzled, and some people stared at the horse.
"Brother Tiger, you don't mean this beast, do you? Although it's a female, isn't this too much of a beast?" A man with a face like a horse stared at the horse's ass for a long time, and then said it hesitantly.
When Brother Tiger heard this, his head was full of big men, and his eyes seemed to change a little when he looked at the brothers around him, and he was even more embarrassed, as if he was really going to do something beastly.
He spread his hands and pointed at Cai Yan, who was holding his hands, "I mean her! This is a girl, pretending to be a man, she is really smart, but she doesn't want me to be sharp-eyed and see it!"
Hearing Brother Hu's words, Cai Yan's body trembled, and her heart chuckled.
It's over, it's really over now, if ...... If you can't keep it...... I will definitely tear these people into pieces, and then cut myself off from here! She has a strong personality and is very strong, how can she be because of this*?
When a group of men heard Brother Hu's words, their eyes suddenly glowed green, and they wanted to turn into wolves.
"Let's find a good place first, and then take our time, rest assured, my brother promises, every brother has a chance, and no one will be less!" Brother Hu saw everyone's enthusiasm boiling, and he was proud in his heart and took the opportunity to win people's hearts. You know, they're just a team of cottages, and he's just a captain, if you want to get on the top, it's not okay not to pull up a bunch of iron buddies! So, when sharing the benefits, you must consider these things, otherwise, who will work for you?
Everyone checked it and found that it was indeed a woman, and they almost lost control on the spot. (The inspection process is not described, how boring it is, anyway.) After that, they put Cai Yan on the back of the horse, and several people supported and led the horse, trying to find a good place to achieve good deeds.
During the whole process, Cai Yan closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. She secretly told herself that no matter what kind of humiliation she suffered today, she would not give up her life until she took revenge!
Now, she doesn't blame her father, because she has seen the outside world, if she doesn't have her father's care, where will she have the opportunity to grow up healthy?
Even if the father finds someone for himself for his own status, but this will not let himself be insulted in the slightest, the best of both designs, for a father, why not?
Thinking from her father's point of view, she finally understood her father's approach, but it was too late.
The remorse in her heart, coupled with the running around for several days, and the fright just now, swept over her legs and waist from time to time...... All this finally made her mentally exhausted and fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in a hut. She quickly checked her body, and her clothes were well dressed, and there were no traces. When she got up, she didn't notice anything unusual.
She sat on the wooden bed, not knowing what was going on, a little distracted.
The door of the hut suddenly opened, and in came a young man, who could not be said to be handsome, but also masculine, with sharp edges and corners.
"How are you feeling?"
The young man held a bowl of white porridge in his hand. "Come and eat, I just boiled it. In the mountains and wilderness, there is nothing to entertain. Seeing that Cai Yan was silent, the young man was not angry, put the bowl on the small table next to the bed, smiled heartily at her, and said, "Don't worry, my hut is very secret, those thieves and grass robbers can't find it, I'm going hunting!"
With that, he went out and closed the door. Cai Yan hurriedly ran to the door, first saw the back of the young man leaving through the crack in the door, and then pushed the door, and found that it was not locked, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his stomach was very hungry, so he no longer doubted it, picked up the white porridge on the table and drank it in one go, licked his lips, and smacked the taste. She recalled the young man just now, although he was just dressed in cloth, he looked like he had a good temperament, and he was much more attractive than those boys in the capital. Thinking of this, she was shy in her heart, her face was crimson, but she couldn't stop smiling
