Chapter 174: Liu Ying
On this day, Liu Chang wandered around the sunset city, after many days of hard training, he has been in the state of building the foundation at the peak and has made no progress, and the bottleneck is like a rock, so Liu Chang came out and planned to wander around, looking for an opportunity to break through. ~~~~
In front of him was Lingji Pavilion, Liu Chang wanted to go in to see what good refining materials and alchemy medicinal materials there were, but he had just walked a few steps and was almost hit by a woman who fell out of a large family. The woman was in her forties, her hair was disheveled, and her long white dress was covered in dirt and torn in many places. There were also several bewitching women dressed in silk and satin, who punched and kicked the woman who fell to the ground, as if they had a deep hatred for the woman who fell.
Liu Chang unconsciously wanted to dodge, what did the secular woman mix with in the war, but at the moment when he was about to leave, he found that the woman at the end was staring at him intently, the woman's eyes were empty, and she didn't care about the punches and kicks added to her, and her eyes were full of surprise. From the woman's face, Liu Chang could see a hint of familiarity, and the thin figure that had been constantly appearing in his heart coincided with the woman in front of him.
"Are you Liu Ying?" asked Liu Chang tentatively.
"Ah, are you Brother Changzi?" the woman exclaimed, trying to get up from the ground, but was beaten to the ground several times by the thugs in satin clothes.
Hearing the woman's words, Liu Chang hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the attacks of several fierce women, helped up the woman who fell to the ground, and looked at the woman's face carefully, her eyes and eyebrows were still rare as the shadow of her childhood, and it was indeed Liu Ying's fault! The woman held Liu Chang's hand tightly, stared at Liu Chang's face, and looked suspicious, "Are you really Brother Changzi......?"
Liu Chang knew that Liu Ying had doubts about his appearance, after all, according to secular calculations, he was almost forty years old, and because of his cultivation of the Immortal Dao, he was only ten ** in appearance, and there was not much change from when the disaster of Liu's village was wiped out, Liu Ying was of course puzzled.
"Yingzi, I'll talk about this later, let's talk about it first?"
When Liu Ying saw Liu Chang calling out his nickname, he immediately determined that the former person in front of him was the Changzi brother in his memory, and tears flowed down unconsciously, and he threw himself into Liu Chang's arms, crying bitterly.
"Yo, I said why is this slut uneasy, it turns out that there is such a big wild seed outside!" said one of the several sluts sneeringly.
When Liu Chang heard this, a look of cold glare, the woman suddenly felt as if she had entered a cold winter, her body was cold, and her eyes seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, "Ah-" screamed and stumbled back to the courtyard, and the rest of the people felt the strangeness of the matter, and hurriedly pushed and shoved into the courtyard, and closed the door tightly with a bang.
Liu Chang helped Liu Ying back to the inn, asked the shopkeeper to make a bucket of hot water, and he hid out, letting Liu Ying take a hot bath, when he came back, Liu Chang had already used the Canglong Nine Transformation to turn himself into a forty-year-old. Liu Ying was taken aback when she saw Liu Chang's appearance in his forties, and Liu Chang hurriedly explained: "Yingzi, this is my true face, just now I learned the disguise technique to disguise my appearance, in order to avoid an enemy. ”
"Enemy, Brother Changzi, should we leave quickly? You still look like you just now!" Liu Ying said anxiously.
Liu Chang's heart warmed, Liu Ying didn't say why he was chased by someone first, but the first thing he thought of was his own safety, and said: "Don't worry, Yingzi, let's talk about you first, how did you escape back then? How did you come to Sunset City? Why was you chased and beaten by them?" Liu Chang asked several questions in one breath.
Hearing Liu Chang's question, Liu Ying couldn't help but shed tears silently again, and only said slowly after half a ring.
"Back then, I went to the stream two miles away to wash clothes, and when I returned to the village, I found that the whole village was in flames, and the whole village was killed...... I didn't know what to do, so I ran out of the village crying and kept running along the road, trying to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible. In the end, I passed out on the side of the road, and was rescued by a kind family passing by, who took me in after knowing that I was an orphan. ”
"After that, I lived with the family for six years, and the family has always treated me well, especially the son of the family. He is three years older than me, and he has always taken care of me like a big brother, and I can feel that his affection for me has exceeded that of my brother and sister, but I can feel that he is sincere to me, and I think it is good to live with him for the rest of my life. It's a pity that in the seventh year, there was a major drought, and the farmer had no harvest, and it became a problem for the whole family of four to eat, and they could only eat two meals a day, and they had to be mixed with wild vegetables. ”
"One day, a big family came to the village to recruit maids, so I sold myself in exchange for two bags of grain, gave them to my adoptive parents, and came to Sunset City. At the beginning, I was a maid, but then the lord fell in love with me, and two years later he took me as a concubine. At first, the lord was still good to me, especially after three years of marriage, he gave birth to a son to the lord, and the lord was even better to me, which caused the eldest lady to be jealous and resentful. When my son was six years old, the eldest lady had my son secretly pushed him into the lake and drowned. Speaking of this, the tears that Liu Ying had just stopped were bubbling out like bursting the embankment.
After a long while, he stopped crying, and then said: "Since the death of my son, the lord has not treated me well, and the eldest lady began to blatantly remove all the maids who served me, let me cook and do the laundry by myself, and later let me wash everyone's clothes, treating me as a maid. In the past few days, I have been taking advantage of my lord's outing, and he has intensified his efforts, just to drive me away. Let Brother Changzi smile. ”
After listening to Liu Ying's story, Liu Chang was both sympathetic and distressed for Liu Ying's experience, he should have lived a happy and carefree life, but he suffered so many disasters, and his parents and children died, and the strange eyes were empty when he first saw her, that was to lose faith in life.
"Yingzi, then what are your plans in the future?" Although Liu Ying is in her forties, Liu Chang still calls Liu Ying "Yingzi" according to custom.
Liu Ying was confused in her eyes, she was a woman, she had no plan for what she would do in the future, she originally wanted to end her life in the master's house, but now the eldest lady obviously didn't want to let herself stay in front of the master, although the master was no longer as good to herself as before. Liu Ying shook his head and said, "I don't know either." Brother Changzi, what about your enemy?"
"Do you still want to go back, back to that family's house?" Liu Chang did not answer Liu Ying's question, but asked.
"Can I go back? If my child is killed, I won't leave, but now"
"Now Liujiazhuang is just the two of us, my relatives are left with you, and your relatives are me. Since you don't want to go back, let's get out of here and find a place to start a new life. How?"
"Live again?" Liu Ying heard this, and there was a look of expectation in his empty eyes.
"Are you willing?" Liu Chang asked solemnly, if Liu Ying was willing, he would not hesitate to take Liu Ying out of here, find a place to live in seclusion, and let Liu Ying live a plain and stable life;
"Yes, I do! Brother Changzi, as long as I'm with you!" Liu Ying nodded his head, as if a drowning person suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw and desperately grabbed it.
"Okay! Since you agree, then let's go now!" Liu Chang said as he picked up Liu Ying and walked out, settled the account of the inn, bought some food, and the two walked out of the city.
Two days later, a middle-aged couple in their forties came to Lijia Village, more than 50 miles southeast of Sunset City, the man was like a scholar, wearing an old dark blue robe, and his appearance was simple and simple; the woman was handsome, although she was in her forties, it can be seen from her face that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
More than 30 years ago, Lijia Village suffered the disaster of annihilation, and more than 90 people in the village died in one day. For a long time, no one came to live here, until the government ordered the people who came to live here to live in the wasteland to be exempted from paying taxes for ten years, and then people came to settle down one after another, but now, there are only more than 60 people in the whole village, all of them are honest farmers, not even a teacher or doctor.
After the couple came here, they approached the village chief and said that they could set up a school so that school-age children could read and write, and they could also use some Qihuang skills to treat the villagers. The requirement is to have a place to live, and the tuition fees for the school and the medical expenses for medical treatment can be replaced by food and grain, not silver.
The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly found the villagers, cleaned up a house at the head of the village, let the two of them live in it, and cleaned a dilapidated temple as a school, and asked the villagers to send children between the ages of six and thirteen to study.
In this way, the couple lived in Lijia Village, during the day the male taught in the broken temple, during which if the villagers were sick, the husband also took care of the villagers, during the medical treatment, the husband did not let the students avoid, but let the students also study medicine. Strange to say, no matter what difficulty of the disease, after a few doses of medicine by Mr., the medicine will be cured, and later even the things that the mother did to give birth to a child will be asked to do it. At first, Mr. was a little hesitant, but once in the middle of the night, the door of the house was patted with a bang, it turned out that a pregnant woman gave birth to a difficult birth, the child could not be born for a few hours, seeing that the adult and the child are not guaranteed, the pregnant woman is dying, the mother is panicked, at a loss, then I thought of looking for Mr. to see, to see if there is any hope to keep the adult.
When the husband came to the mother's house, the mother had only breathed out but not intake, and the husband hurriedly applied a needle to save the baby's fetal position, and took out a piece of 500-year-old ginseng slices and put it in the mother's mouth, and the mother fell asleep miraculously. When she woke up, she found her husband holding a baby in his arms. Mr. held the baby who had just been delivered, attracted by the baby's dark and deep eyes, the baby did not cry or make trouble, but looked at Mr. fixedly, Mr. was shocked by the baby's eyes, what a clean and pure look it was, this is the life that has just been born, it is the beginning of a new life, the natural world is really magical, people can give birth to such a sacred life! Mr. began to like this feeling of being looked at by the clean and pure eyes of the newborn baby. After the mother's family knew that the mother and child were safe, they kowtowed happily, and said that the miracle of the husband not only saved the adult, but also the child was very healthy
