Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 218 Contest
Xie Fu took a pair of scissors from the dressing table, cut off the long silk in Lanning's hand, and handed the scissors to Lanning's hand, "I will do what I say, come and stab me."

Lan Ning took the scissors unconsciously with one hand, but lightly touched the thorns with the other hand, and pressed his fingertips against a sharp thorn, pricking his own fingertips on purpose, which really hurt.

"I can't do it, do you want me to help you?"

Xie Fu grabbed her hand holding the scissors, and the tip of the knife touched his heart.

Lanning's hands trembled violently, he broke free and threw the scissors away.

Xie Fu said: "Since you can't afford to play, what do you mean by love?"

Lan Ning said angrily, "I can play!"

Xie Fu reached out to hook her chin, Lanning turned her head arrogantly, but did not resist.

Xie Fudan said: "I have to admit, your extremely beautiful face really makes people want to have a good time with you."

Lan Ning sneered and scolded: "A male dog."

Xie Fu said again: "That's all. When you get old and look bad, you will be no different from those old women in the street."

"Male dog!" If it was sarcasm just now, this time it is anger.

Xie Fu laughed loudly: "Do you still want this so-called love?"

"I hate you! I want to make your life worse than death! I want to make you regret every word you said today!"

Xie Fu untied the thorns tied to his body, and the dense scratches on his body became more obvious, and blood oozes from the punctured place, which is full of blood.

Lan Ning secretly said in his heart: "I'm not happy at all, on the contrary, I feel distressed, why do you torture me like this, I just want to love you."

Xie Fu picked up the clothes on the ground, turned around and left, Lan Ning was stunned, but didn't know what to say.

Xie Fu stopped suddenly, Lan Ning looked at her back, her lips moved, but she didn't make a sound, she said what she should say and what she didn't want to say.

I just feel that no matter what I say, I will provoke his unwarranted contempt and ridicule.

Xie Fu didn't look back, but said out loud, "Only when you recover from your illness will you have the strength to hate me."

Walking out of the yard, Xie Fu felt that he was too crazy. This was the only time he was so crazy without drinking, but he couldn't control himself.

Maybe she didn't want to disappoint Lanning's affection, but also wanted to prove that the so-called love was shallow, or maybe he felt unworthy.

After Xie Fu left, Lan Ning was speechless, only feeling that what he said and what he did just now shocked her even more than saying that he loved her.

In the silence, Juan'er broke the oppressive atmosphere, "Miss, he is such a beast."

Lanning blurted out: "No! He is worthy of my love, and he has always confessed to me sincerely."

When Lan Ning said it, even she was surprised, this was exactly what she felt in her heart.

Juan'er was stunned, did Miss like this tune.

Lan Ning thought to himself, it doesn't matter, just let me love you first, and then you love me slowly.

"Juan'er, is the medicine ready?"

Lan Ning suddenly looked energetic and full of fighting spirit.

After taking the medicine, Lan Ning sat in front of the mirror, gently stroking her face that made the man fascinated.

This face is extremely beautiful, even more vivid and beautiful than those goddesses in the paintings. When a beautiful man sees her, he can't help but have the urge to possess her.

Lan Ning picked up the scissors and asked softly: "Juan'er, you said that I have scratched my face a few times, will those men still be obsessed with me?"

Juan'er trembled when she heard the words: "Miss, don't do stupid things."

Lan Ning smiled lightly: "Or is there still someone who will love me?"

Juan'er hurriedly said: "Miss, don't listen to his nonsense, he is a lunatic, not a normal person."

Lan Ning said, "Juan'er, you haven't answered my question yet?"

Juan'er didn't dare to give the real answer, if you disfigured your face, you would no longer be Lady Lanning, how could they be obsessed with an ugly woman.

Lan Ning said softly: "He is right. Everyone loves me, but they love my beauty, which is superficial. This is not love at all. When I get old and my color fades, they won't love me anymore."

Juan'er didn't respond, she thought to herself, it was so.

Lan Ning said softly: "I'm curious, what would it look like if I took off the thing I'm most proud of on my body." As she spoke, she gently moved the scissors to her fair and flawless pretty face.

Juan'er was startled, and hurriedly reached out to grab the scissors, "Miss, you are crazy."

Lanning giggled, and her laughter made Juan'er feel creepy.

"I really want to gamble."

"No, Miss."

Juan'er was so heartbroken that she was about to cry, the lady was so stubborn, she didn't hesitate to bet on her stunning appearance, she was sure that once the lady lost this stunning appearance, the lady would immediately lose everything.

Lan Ning said coldly, "Why are you crying, you know I hate other people crying the most."

Juan'er tried her best to stop herself from crying, and said: "Miss, then you promised Juan'er that you are not doing something stupid."

Lan Ning smiled: "Everyone's cognition is different. Maybe you think it's stupid, but I don't think so. Forget it, it's useless for me to tell you these things."

"Then don't say it, Juan'er sounds scared."

Lan Ning turned and said, "Do you still remember the old nanny who was alone at Loumen?"

Juan'er replied: "Miss is talking about that weird and ugly old woman."

Miss also has a house on the other side of Loumen. Not far from the house, there lives a strange old woman. On some days, this old woman will paint some creepy paintings on her face. Those paintings are vivid like It grows on the face, even in the daytime, it looks scary like a ghost.

"It's her."

"Miss suddenly mentioned what she was doing, it's scary." As she spoke, Juan'er couldn't help getting goosebumps all over her body when she thought of that woman.

She was very afraid of the old woman, but the young lady took great care of the old woman. She often went to visit and seemed not afraid at all. Every time the two of them talked in the house, she would hide outside and dare not enter the dark little house .

Lan Ning smiled: "I am afraid because of ignorance, and everyone is as ignorant as you, so I am afraid of her. In fact, she is just an ordinary person."

Juan'er looked puzzled.

Lan Ning said softly: "The old mother comes from the land of Jiarong, which is a very far away place."

Juan'er asked: "Then why did she come to Suzhou?"

"Because of the war, when she was a young girl, the army slaughtered her village, killing all the strong men, old people and children, leaving only those young and beautiful women for the soldiers to abuse."

"On the way back to Dadongguo as a prisoner, she was humiliated day and night, and she also prayed to the gods she believed in day and night, praying that she could escape this hellish and tragic experience."

"One day, she continued the tradition of Jiarong land and made a face for herself, and soon those soldiers who bullied her abandoned her like shoes and stopped bullying her."

"She felt that the gods she believed in heard her prayers and saved her."

Juan'er asked: "Is it those creepy things painted on her face?"

Lan Ning said: "Yes, this is a tradition in Jiarong. Every girl will paint her face when she is 16 years old."

Juan'er asked curiously, "How come there is such a strange tradition of painting faces so ugly."

Lanning said with a smile: "This tradition comes from a legend."

Juan'er asked with interest: "What legend?"

"It is said that more than 1000 years ago, evil spirits gathered in the mountains and forests in Jiarong, and came to the village at night, forcibly abducted those beautiful girls, took possession of their bodies, and let them give birth to demon children. "

"One year a master passed by here. After looking at the tragic scene in front of him, he decided to help people drive away evil spirits. He taught the villagers how to paint faces. After seeing the girl who painted the face, the demons were scared out of their wits. , One after another, they ran away with their heads in their hands, never daring to step into the land of Jiarong, and the land of Jiarong returned to peace, and this tradition has been carried on since then."

Juan'er laughed and said, "I'm an evil spirit, so why would I be afraid of ugly monsters?"

Lan Ning said with a smile: "The legend has a long history, so it's hard to go into details, but according to ancient records, some say this face is the mother of demons, and some say it's the face of the god who imprisoned those demons."

Juan'er asked: "Miss, what are you doing suddenly mentioning this old nanny?"

Lan Ning said lightly, "I want her to paint my face."

Juan'er was shocked when she heard the words: "Miss, don't do it!"

Lan Ning smiled: "There is also a tradition in Jiarong Land. On the day of marriage, girls will use special methods to remove those patterned scars on their faces that cannot be washed off normally, and restore their beauty to the original."

Juan'er breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's okay." Then she worried again: "What if it can't be removed?"

She has seen the scar-like patterns on the old mother's face, with obvious bumps and wrinkles, just like real scars, like real scars, like they grow in the flesh, they can't be peeled off, and they can't be washed off, and it feels like they can't be removed at all. go.

Lan Ning smiled lightly: "If you can't get rid of it, then it will stay on your face for a lifetime."

"Miss, I'm still a little worried."

"It's not that you become ugly, what are you worried about?"

"Miss becomes like that, it's even harder to kill in my heart."

"Okay, you secretly brought the old mother here tomorrow, why don't you let other people know, she is doing me a favor, and I will do her a favor, I know that she misses her hometown very much, the land where there are no relatives and friends .”

……

In the early morning of the next day, Juan'er brought a short old woman. The old woman was dressed in rough clothes and faltered.

His face looked like a person with smallpox, covered by a white cloth, only two eyes were exposed.

In fact, the old woman did not suffer from smallpox, she was afraid that her face would frighten others.

Juan'er directly brought the old woman to Lanning's room. Seeing the layout of the room, the old woman seemed flattered but also gradually disfigured, her staggering steps became more cautious.

When they met, Lan Ning immediately asked, "Old mother, is the carriage bumpy?"

The old woman smiled and said: "The old woman has never enjoyed such a blessing, it is more comfortable than the couch at home."

Lan Ning asked again: "Is there enough food in the house?"

"Enough, enough, if it wasn't for the lady to take care of her, the old woman would have no way of making a living, and would have starved to death at home."

"You don't need to say these kind words, old mammy. Lanning likes listening to your stories very much, and that's considered a reward."

　The second watch will be around ten o'clock.
