Chapter 183, the heartbeat when we first met

There are many people in the city every day, and everyone seems to be in a bad mood.In the corner, there were a few beggars with shabby eyes and shabby clothes.Sallow and emaciated face with disheveled hair.Suddenly someone dropped a white steamed bun on the ground, and a child in the corner saw it.He ran over quickly, but before he could grab the white bun, someone stepped on his hand.

"Little thing with no eyes, sloppy, really unlucky." The man stepped on the back of the child's hand fiercely, scolded viciously, and even spit on the soles of his feet even harder.The soles of the feet are still crushing the back of the child's hand so hard that it almost breaks the back of the child's hand without mercy.

The child's face was covered with filth, he gritted his teeth to hold back the pain, and didn't cry out in a daze.

Because he knew that as long as he didn't scream, the other party would find it boring and let him go.

Sure enough, when the man felt bored, he withdrew his foot and kicked hard on the ground a few times.

"Bah, you laughing bastard, it's cheap for you." After finishing speaking, he swaggered away, and the child endured the pain to pick up the white steamed buns that had been trampled on the ground, and carefully put them into his arms.He himself didn't eat it right away, but came to a broken house with staggering steps.

There were several children lying on the ground inside. They were male and female, with ragged clothes and withered faces.

One of them also appeared to be ill.Cough constantly.

"Cough cough cough."

"A-mei, A-mei, look, my brother has brought you steamed stuffed buns, hurry up and eat."

"Cough, cough, brother, brother." The child who was lying on the ground got up weakly, and the constant coughing made her feel uncomfortable and almost died.

"Brother, cough cough, where did you get the steamed stuffed bun?"

"My brother picked it up, eat it quickly."

"Ahem, brother, what happened to your hand?"

The little boy immediately wanted to hide the back of his hand, but the little girl had already seen it.

"It's okay, I just accidentally fell down, don't worry, brother is fine."

"Brother, you still like to eat, I'll cough cough cough." Before she finished speaking, the little girl started to cough, out of control.

"My sister, what's the matter with you? I'll go and get the doctor." The little boy got up and ran out quickly, flustered and fell down, but he couldn't care less, he got up and continued running.But it didn't take long before he was caught.

"You little bastard, why are you here? See if I won't kill you." Not far from the door, several men with big knives surrounded the little boy.

"Let go of me, let me go."

"Let you run, I will let you run." The man who spoke couldn't help but lift the boy's collar and punched and kicked him.

The little boy was beaten to death, and fell to the ground curled up.

"Brother, don't beat him to death."

"Hmph, brat, tell me, where is your sister?"

The man viciously kicked the boy who fell motionless on the ground.

"Um, don't really die, right?" A man lowered his head and turned the boy's body. The boy was turned over with blood all over his face.

His eyes were closed tightly, and there was still a trace of breath.

"Go and have a look, the broken house in the back, I ran out from that side just now, it's probably close to ten, the little girl is inside."

Several people then ran to the back, and soon, they hugged a little girl in shabby clothes who was coughing non-stop.

"Ahem, you bad guys, brother, brother." The little girl saw the boy lying on the ground covered in blood, and couldn't help but shouted with wide eyes.

Her sadness and urgency made the passersby stamp their feet, but after seeing who it was, they all left immediately.

They dare not cause trouble.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The little girl suddenly coughed desperately, probably because she was too anxious, she was out of breath for a while, rolled her eyes and passed out.

"Boss, this little girl seems to be sick?" The man holding the little girl noticed something was wrong.

"What? Sick? Still so skinny? What's the use? Damn it, don't want it. Throw it all in the mass grave." Several people dragged the two children away.

Mass Burial Mound Outside Beihuang City
"Just throw it here." Impatiently, the two men threw the two thin figures into a deep pit without mercy.

There were corpses in there.

"Evil, it stinks. Hurry up and leave." The two men covered their mouths and noses and threw it away hastily in an unbearable environment.

The sky gradually became dark, and there was a cool breeze in the evening.

In the mass grave, there was a pair of bloody little hands, trying to touch something.

"Sister."

It turned out to be the little boy just now. He didn't die, he was just knocked out.

In fact, he woke up halfway, opened his eyes slightly and saw that his unconscious sister was also taken away.

It was so painful and exhausting that he passed out again.

When he woke up again, he was already in the mass grave.

He recognized this place as a place where the dead were piled up.

His parents were thrown here too.

"Sister." The boy crawled over with difficulty, but fortunately those few people just thought it was troublesome and didn't look at them carefully, so they threw them together casually.

The little girl didn't respond at all, and the boy anxiously dragged the little girl out of the pile of dead with all his strength.

The sky was already dark, but Gu Wushuang didn't feel sleepy. He slept for too long during the day and couldn't fall asleep at night.

Looking at the people around him, Aunt Yan, Xiang'er, and Yaya all seemed to be asleep.

She got up quietly, the advantage of being soft is that she didn't make a sound when she got up.

However, she was found when she reached the door.

"Princess." It was Yan Xuan, and Shen Muqing.

"Uh, are you all here?" With an embarrassed smile, Gu Wushuang almost forgot that he had deliberately tied the knot these days.

"Why did the princess come out? Is it convenient?" Yan Xuan was really honest.

Shen Muqing was a little embarrassed to say, "Ahem." He coughed softly to cover up the flashing smile in his eyes.

Gu Wushuang was a little confused, but fortunately, the sky was dark and they couldn't see her face clearly.

"No, I just can't sleep, I want to come out and look at the starry sky." The advantage of being in the wilderness is that you can look at the starry sky at night.

"It's windy at night, my concubine is going to catch a cold?" Yan Xuan still kindly reminded Shen Muqing that he had already taken off his cloak.

"Princess, please use it." Instead of putting it on her, he handed it to her.

"Thank you." Gu Wushuang took it over without hesitation, and put it on by herself.

It's okay in the house, but I feel a little chilly when I come out.

What is the fire still roasting not far away?
Seeing her looking there, Shen Muqing raised the corners of his lips, "I was having a barbecue with Mr. Yan just now, would the princess want some?"

"Barbecue?" Gu Wushuang's deep eyes lit up, eating supper at night.

So they walked over together, and a few sweet potatoes were roasting on the fire.

"Wow, sweet potato, it smells so good."

"Come on, this one is already ready, Princess please use it." Shen Muqing handed Gu Wushuang a plucked sweet potato that was still smoking.

"Thank you." Gu Wushuang didn't expect such good luck.

"Be careful of burning." Seeing her blowing air while rolling the sweet potatoes alternately with both hands, Shen Muqing smiled.

Now he is completely familiar with her cuteness and ease.In addition to joy and doting in his eyes.

Yan Xuan looked at Shen Muqing and Gu Wushuang. As a man, he could clearly feel the tenderness and love in Shen Muqing's eyes.

Mr. Shen
I was a little shocked in my heart, but felt normal.

For a woman like the princess, any man with connotation will fall in love with her.

He also had some strange feelings for her at the beginning, but at that time he was more inferior and didn't dare to think about it.

Later, I fell in love with Yaya.

Sighing from the bottom of my heart, the world is the only thing that cannot be forced.

Mr. Shen is afraid that he is the same as him, he can only watch the woman he loves.

"Who?" Just as they were eating sweet potatoes around the fire, a hidden guard suddenly shouted.

"What happened?"

"I'll go and have a look. Young Master Yan, take care of the princess." Shen Muqing glanced at Gu Wushuang and Yan Xuan, got up and left quickly.

"How about we go too?" Gu Wushuang put down the half-eaten sweet potato, it was a bit dry, and she couldn't eat it anymore.

"This" is not good, right?Before Yan Xuan could speak, Gu Wushuang already flicked the dust off his hands and stood up.

"Let's go, go and have a look, far away, I promise you'll be fine." Gu Wushuang gave Yan Xuan an encouraging look, and Yan Xuan had no choice but to follow her.

"What happened?" There were guards around the stream, as if they were watching something.

Shen Muqing flew over, the crowd dispersed, and when he approached, he found a person lying on the ground.

"Master Shen, they are two beggars, they seem to be injured." Shen Muqing walked over and squatted down, looking at them carefully.

On the ground were two children, their clothes torn.messy hair.Still unconscious.

"Where did you come from?" The little boy raised his blurry eyes, he was exhausted.

Hearing the sound of water and the light of fire just now, I had a glimmer of hope in my heart, so I desperately came here with my sister on my back.

It turned out to be the brother and sister who got up from the mass grave just now.

The little girl was still in a coma, and the boy came here round and round with her on his back.

"Help us." The boy passed out after uttering a few words with difficulty.

"Hurry up and carry the person to a safe place." Shen Muqing said as he picked up one of them and quickly walked across the crowd.

"What's wrong? Who is it?" Gu Wushuang and Yan Xuan walked halfway, only to find that Shen Muqing had returned, holding a child in his arms.

"Princess, you may need to heal me."

"."

In the thatched hut, everyone woke up.Gu Wushuang was checking the children's condition with a solemn expression.

"They won't be saved, right?" Yaya shed tears in distress, and Xiang'er's nose was also red.

Just now they were woken up by the movement outside and found that the princess was gone.So he quickly got up and went outside the house, only to see Shen Muqing and the guards carrying two children coming in.The princess followed closely behind, and they woke up completely.

"The boy had been beaten and had wounds all over his body, and his arm was broken. The girl was sick, and it seemed to be a heat rash caused by a cold."

"Heat rash. Then princess, you have to be careful." Yaya exclaimed, heat rash is contagious.

"It's okay, I'm wearing a veil."

As Gu Wushuang spoke, he glanced at Aunt Yan who was still in the room.

"Yan Xuan, take Aunt Yan to rest in the carriage."

"Uh, good. Mother, let's go." Yan Xuan knew that the princess was afraid that Aunt Yan would be infected.

"Others go to boil some hot water and decoct medicine, Yaya, you go and get some clean clothes and change them for the children."

"Princess, I'm really sorry. I didn't know the child was so seriously ill." Shen Muqing felt a little apologetic. If something happened to her, he would die.

"Mr. Shen, you don't have to blame yourself, I'm prepared. Don't worry, I cherish my feathers very much."

feather?Although she couldn't understand what she was saying, Shen Muqing smiled in relief.

I admire her even more from the bottom of my heart.

Soon, Yaya brought clothes, and Xianger brought hot water.

"Trouble Mr. Shen, help me lift the child up."

"Okay." Shen Muqing went over and carefully helped the boy up, and Gu Wushuang took off the dirty clothes on the boy with the help of Yaya.

The clothes were stained with blood, Gu Wushuang simply tore them open, and then scrubbed the wound with hot water.

After waiting for the boy's clothes to be changed, after helping his broken arm with bark and applying medicine to the wound, Gu Wushuang was a little out of breath.

"Princess, are you okay?"

"Princess." Shen Muqing didn't care about etiquette, and supported Gu Wushuang's back nearby, supporting her weight.

"I'm fine, I'm just short of breath." When the boy was changing the girl's laundry after dealing with it, Shen Muqing went out first to avoid suspicion.

"This Mr. Shen is really a modest gentleman, even he pays so much attention to little girls." Xiang'er couldn't help but praise Shen Muqing.

Gu Wushuang glanced at her, does this girl like Shen Muqing?Isn't Yan Xuan dead?

Shaking your head, now is not the time to think about this.

"Yaya, go and see if the medicine is ready?"

"Oh, I'll go right away." Then Shen Muqing came in again.

"Princess, is this little girl's illness still recoverable?"

"Let's keep the medical treatment for now, give her some soup and medicine first, and I will use silver needles to detoxify her later."

Seeing that her expression was infused, Shen Muqing didn't ask any more questions, but just watched from the sidelines.

Xiang'er felt that Mr. Shen looked at his princess very differently.It's like... like a man looking at his beloved woman.

She had also seen that kind of gentle look in the eyes of the prince.

Doesn't Mr. Shen like her princess?

I feel inexplicably lost in my heart, and sure enough, the charm of the princess is the greatest.

Wait, what is she thinking?Is she jealous or jealous?

Yaoyao quickly turned her head, and unconsciously looked at Princess Wang and Shen Muqing, fortunately they didn't pay attention to her.

Quietly breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to think about it.

What is her status, how can she think about such an outstanding young master, just like when the eldest lady had already warned her when she was assigned to the princess.After two hours, finally, the little girl lived.

"Cough cough cough" a thin cough came from her mouth, and her silent eyes slowly opened.

"Brother cough cough!"

"Don't worry, your brother is fine, you need to sleep well now, sleep well. I can see your brother tomorrow."

Gu Wushuang softly said to the girl, the girl seemed to be coaxed by her, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Princess, this child."

"I was afraid she was coughing, so I pierced a sleeping hole for her." After drinking the medicine just now, and getting a good night's sleep, she will feel better tomorrow.

"Okay, it's almost done, everyone is tired, go"

"Princess!" "Wu Shuang!"

As soon as Gu Wushuang stood up, his eyes went dark, and Yaya and Xiang'er exclaimed.

Shen Muqing's heart tightened, and he grabbed her, picked her up and gently placed her on the side bed.

"Shh, the princess is tired, let her have a good rest." She probably fainted because she squatted for too long just now and felt unwell for a while.

"You take good care of me. I'm outside. Call me if you need anything."

Yaya and Xiang'er nodded at the same time, watched Shen Muqing go out, and closed the door together, one leaned against Gu Wubian, and the other leaned against the two children.

Outside the house, Shen Muqing sat beside the fire that was about to go out, and slowly picked up the half-eaten sweet potato that Gu Wushuang had just eaten.

The gentle eyes seemed to be looking at something beloved. Her focused expression just now, her serious demeanor, and her superb medical skills all made his mind flutter.How could he let go of such a woman.Although she was covered with a veil, those burning black eyes were still as cute as when she first met her.He stared blankly at his palms. The few physical contacts just now in a hurry were unintentional offenses but also out of his own heart.

Seeing her fainting from exhaustion, he felt pity in his heart.

He really wanted to hold her, but he couldn't.After all, it is a delusion.

Looking up at the sky full of stars looming, there is already a hazy dawn in the distant sky.
