Chapter 2: The Ugly Man
Sima Chong exerted this force, and his figure suddenly rose into the air.
"Boom-"
He felt only a pain in his back, and a huge force hit his back.
"Ahh
Sima Chong screamed, his eyes were dark, his body was still in the air, and his consciousness had become very blurred.
Before he fell unconscious, he seemed to hear an unwilling wolf howl, and then the whirring wind in his ears......
When I woke up, the sun was already shining.
His mouth was dry, and as soon as he opened a thin slit in his eyes, he had to close them again because of the sunlight.
I tried to shield my hands from the sun, but I found it difficult to lift my hands because of the pain all over my body.
It took a lot of effort for him to raise his right hand to block out the sunlight and open his eyes to take in his surroundings.
He slept on a river beach, which was relatively flat, and where the river came, it became very soothing.
Hearing the gentle flow of the river not far away, seeing the green woods on both sides, and breathing in the fresh air, Sima Chong unconsciously slowly relaxed his body and mind, and began to recall the days of his eldest young master Sima Villa.
Since he was sensible, in Sima Villa, except for his parents, he was the biggest, and no one dared to offend him in the slightest.
In Surabaya County, the prestige of the eldest young master of Sima Villa is known to everyone. As long as there is a place where Sima Chong is, the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law all find a place to hide early.
Even when the children of any family are disobedient, the adults use the prestige of the eldest young master of Sima Villa to scare the children.
All along, Sima Chong felt that he was very majestic, very enjoyable, and very proud.
It wasn't until half a year ago that he caught the milk of a beautiful little daughter-in-law in Surabaya County, and asked his subordinates to take off the little daughter-in-law's clothes, causing the little daughter-in-law to die on the street in public, that he realized that he had gone too far and caused trouble.
That time, his father, Sima Zhongyuan, slapped him for the first time and locked him up for a month.
During the month-long confinement, he thought a lot, and finally figured out that those people were not afraid of him Sima Chong, but of his father Sima Zhongyuan, in other words, Sima Villa, who was rich and powerful.
After he came out of confinement, although he was still playful, he never went to the street to catch milk again, and he didn't even dare to go to Surabaya County for half a year.
He only played in Zhujia Town, and didn't even let the house slaves follow him, he wanted to have his own partner, in fact, in the next few months, he finally had a real child companion - Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu is the daughter of Zhu Datong, a long-term worker in Sima Villa, and has been bullied by Sima Chong many times.
She was born with a melon seed face, petite and cute, but her temperament is very stubborn, every time she is bullied by Sima Chong, she just bites her lips, but never cries.
But since Sima Chong came out of the confinement room and apologized to her, she has become Sima Chong's only real playmate in Zhujia Town.
Whenever Sima Chong made a grimace, she always showed two small white tiger teeth, looking at Sima Chong stupidly and smiling.
Thinking of Zhu Zhu, Sima Chong couldn't help but smile on his face.
But immediately the smile froze on his face, because a beautiful face appeared in front of him.
It was a childish face full of curiosity, and the big eyes on the face suddenly showed a look of horror, and Sima Chong was devastated the most in twelve years.
"Ahh
After an earth-shattering exclamation, the face fell backwards.
"Xiaolian, what's wrong with you?"
With a loud shout, a blue figure appeared behind Xiaolian in a flash, hugging her just as her body was about to make contact with the ground.
"Daddy, he'...... His face ...... Good...... It's horrible!"
The frightened look on Xiaolian's face eased slightly, and she was lying in the arms of the middle-aged man and pointed weakly at Sima Chong on the ground.
"Huh!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Sima Chong and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At this time, Sima Chong was also looking at the father and daughter, and as soon as his eyes touched the middle-aged man, he felt a tingling pain and a chill all over his body.
He hurriedly turned his eyes to look at the frightened little girl.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you, why are you lying here?"
At this time, the middle-aged man had already put down Xiaolian and walked to Sima Chong's side.
"I ...... I ......"
Sima Chong wanted to answer the middle-aged man's words, but he didn't know how to answer for a while, and his mother's words echoed in his brain: "Chong'er, don't tell anyone in the future, your surname is Sima, your name is Sima Chong."
"Oh, you're injured, and it's not light, with multiple fractures all over your body......"
The middle-aged man's eyes scanned Sima Chong's body, and his hands did not touch Sima Chong's body, but he said Sima Chong's injury in one word.
"You were injured from a fall from a great height?"
The middle-aged man looked up at the river, looked up at the river again, and sighed: "You floated down from the upstream, little brother, you are really fateful!"
"Little brother, what's your name and how did you fall into the river?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"You don't know me?"
Since Xiaolian screamed, Sima Chong thought that Xiaolian recognized his identity, but when he heard the middle-aged man's question, he fell into wonder again.
"I haven't seen you, do you know me?"
The middle-aged man was also a little incomprehensible to Sima Chong's rhetorical question, and then Xiaolian ran over and said, "Who knows you, ugly monster!"
When she heard her father say that Sima Chong was seriously injured, she was not afraid at all.
But as soon as Sima Chong heard Xiaolian scolding himself for being ugly, his heart became angry, although he had been a little bit of a fool since he was a child, he thought that his appearance was passable, and he couldn't get along with the ugly monsters.
"Who's the ugly bastard? You're the ugly bastard...... Alas......"
When he was angry, he pulled the wound on his back and cried out in pain.
"Little brother, don't be angry, the little girl is used to playing with skin, please don't take her words to heart. ”
The middle-aged man glared at Xiaolian, then smiled and comforted Sima Chong.
Who knew that the little girl was unrelenting, and she didn't know where to take out a bronze mirror and stretched it out in front of Sima Chong.
"And said that it's not ugly, look in the mirror yourself, hide at home if you're ugly, why come out and be scary, if my father wasn't nearby just now, wouldn't you scare me to death?"
Xiaolian said a lot in one breath, and snorted heavily at the end.
But Sima Chong didn't have the heart to listen to what she was saying, he stared blankly at the hideous cyan face in the bronze mirror, and couldn't believe that it was him.
"What's wrong? What the hell is going on? How can this be?"
He grunted, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, and he fell into a coma again.
"Water...... Water ......"
"Got it, what to shout, aunt and grandma, I've fed you water nine times today, if it weren't for my father saying that you can only wet your lips with a damp cloth every time, I really want to pour you a big pot and let you drink enough at one time." ”
On a wooden bed in the room, Sima Chong, who was wrapped in a white cloth like a zongzi, was lying, and his hideous blue face had become calm at this time.
Xiaolian put a bamboo tube filled with water and a cyan flannel cloth on the wooden table next to the bed, and walked out of the room.
It was a small courtyard with fishing nets drying on the low mud walls, and some unknown flowers and plants were planted everywhere except for two simple wooden houses.
The middle-aged man sat on a bamboo chair with some turquoise herbs in front of him, and was pounding the medicine with a stone utensil.
"Daddy, he's been in a coma for three days, will he die?"
Xiaolian walked up to the middle-aged man and asked while sorting through the vine-growing herbs.
The middle-aged man glanced into the room, looked at Xiaolian dotingly, and said, "How could Daddy let him die?
As he spoke, he poured the pounded herbs in the stone tool into a bamboo tube, rubbed the herbs in front of him a few times in his hand, and then put them into the stone tool and continued to pound them.
"Don't worry, he can't die, the reason why he didn't wake up is that his father fed him some sleeping medicine in order to relieve his pain, and in three days, he will wake up, and with his physique, his injuries may have been almost healed by then. ”
"Oh, he's going to let him work for me for ten years to compensate me for taking care of him these days. Xiaolian pouted.
The middle-aged man just laughed at Xiaolian's muttering and didn't care.
Three days later, in the morning, Sima Chong woke up as scheduled.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the beautiful little face at first sight, and when he woke up, his face showed a look of surprise, and he immediately shouted outside the door: "Daddy, he's really fine, the ugly monster really woke up......"
"You ......"
Sima Chong wanted to refute Xiaolian's words, but suddenly thought of his hideous cyan face, and he couldn't say a word.
He began to look around, only to realize that he was lying on the bed, and it was apparently the father and daughter who had saved him.
At this time, the middle-aged man had already walked in, he grabbed Sima Chong's wrist, touched the vein, looked at Sima Chong meaningfully and said: "Little brother, congratulations, you are completely well, your physique is really not simple!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Sima Chong realized that he did feel relaxed, and he also felt a burst of surprise in his heart when he saw the bloodstained white cloth stacked on the side of the bed.
He remembered waking up on the river beach, but it was difficult to even lift his hand.
Slowly sitting up, he said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, you saved me, thank you! I don't know how long I fell asleep?"
Although Sima Chong is twelve years old, he has not experienced the world, and being able to say this word of gratitude is also out of his heart's gratitude to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't care about Sima Chong's thanks, but smiled and said, "You're welcome, little friend, you've been asleep with me for six days." ”
As he spoke, he paused and said, "Xiaoyou, I see that you have a clear bone and a tough physique, so you must be from an extraordinary background, right?"
Although Sima Chong has not done much in the world, he is not stupid, and from the other party's words, he also knows that the other party wants to know his origin tactfully.
In a flash, I also knew that my mother would not hide her name for no reason, and something big must have happened in the family.
Thinking of this, he replied casually: "The boy Shi Chong, who was originally a hunter child in the mountains, was besieged by several wolves a few days ago, accidentally fell off the cliff, and was washed here by the river. ”
The middle-aged man was just a little curious about Sima Chong's identity, and when he heard Sima Chong's answer, he didn't investigate whether it was true or not, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, you don't have to be polite, saving you is just a gesture, it's Xiaoyou, you have a special physique to get better so quickly." ”
Sima Chong thought that something big might have happened at home, and wanted to rush back as soon as possible to see what was going on, so he secretly moved his body, and felt that it was indeed completely well, so he got out of bed, and hugged his fists when he learned to see Sima Zhongyuan and the medicinal herb merchant when he was at home: "May I ask the name of Engongzun, the kid will definitely come back to repay your life-saving grace in the future!"
"You are so rude, you want to leave, do you know who fed you medicine and water every day during the past few days when you were in a coma? You also know that your life was saved by my father and me, so you have to do a long job for me for a few years, and then leave after repaying our kindness, how can you leave with a few words of thanks like this?"
When Xiaolian heard that Sima Chong wanted to leave, but she didn't do it, she glared at Sima Chong angrily, as if she looked at the most ruthless and unrighteous person in the world.
"This ......"
Sima Chong couldn't tell the other party his true identity and intentions, he had to go, but what the other party said was reasonable, and he didn't know how to refute Xiaolian for a while.
