Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 43 Selecting the Medicine Man (Part [-])
"Killed your own father?"

Shi Xuanling took a deep breath, a little unbelievable, Liu's cook nodded, and continued to lower her voice: "I heard that the father of this criminal slave has some background, he is an official of the Ministry of War, and he has some real power in his hands, but he loves to drink. When he was drunk, he beat his wife with fists and kicks, and the mother of this sin slave was beaten every two days, as if one leg was limped!"

"If you want me to say, this lady's life is a bit bitter, but women, after all, marry and obey their husbands, and regard their husbands as heaven. If their men have a temper, they will coax them more. No matter what, serve your husband and obey him." Husband, it's all a matter of duty, isn't it the same to marry anyone, can't you just bear it?"

When Cook Liu said this, she looked at Shi Xuanling, as if she wanted to get her approval: "Miss San, you are also from an official family. This big family has many rules. As the head of the family, it is only natural to have a little more dignity." It should be, how can this son and daughter kill his own father? Isn't this treasonous and unbelievable?"

At the end of her words, Chef Liu was filled with emotion, and she was not afraid of being heard by the figure in the corner. That beautiful face stared at her faintly through the messy long hair, like a ghost in the dark night.

"According to you..." Shi Xuanling frowned slightly, looked at the figure in the corner again, and suddenly raised her voice: "This father really deserves to be killed, shouldn't he?"

Chef Liu never expected to receive such a response from Shi Xuanling, and she stuttered for a while: "Three, Miss San?"

"Isn't it? If my father beats and scolds my mother all day long, and even cripples her in one leg, I can't help but do it. That's my mother. Whoever dares to touch her, I will fight with that person." Desperate! What kind of head of the family, from the moment he beat my mother, he is no longer my father, but a beast in human skin!"

The crisp words echoed in the room, and Mrs. Liu was so dumbfounded that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

How could she know that Shi Xuanling is not an orthodox young lady from an aristocratic family, and she doesn't follow the "three cardinal guides and five permanent principles" at all. She lived in the mountains when she was young, unrestrained, and has always been free and uninhibited in her bones. You have to be clear and clear, and you have your own conclusions in your heart, how can you be easily assimilated by the poison?
"Yes, but we are women after all, we have to accept our fate when we marry..."

"What's wrong with women? Are women not human? Does a woman's life deserve to be cheap?"

Shi Xuanling couldn't help clenching her fists, and said with a frown, "It's also unreasonable to get married and obey your husband, and serve and obey. My family's eldest son will even serve me water to wash my feet."

"Bring water to wash your feet?" Cook Liu stared wide-eyed, and couldn't help showing a strange look on her face.

"That's right, he said that's how it should be between husband and wife. He treats me well, and I treat him well. That's right. Otherwise, why would I marry him? Do you want him to beat me every day?"

Chef Liu was shocked, and now she was completely speechless, as if her heartstrings had been greatly shaken, and Shi Xuanling's words even overturned her cognition for most of her life.

"Miss San, I, I'm a bit confused. Let me think about it. It seems that what you said...is not wrong. It's just that no one has ever told me that before. I'm really confused. Please forgive me I think about it..."

Chef Liu muttered to herself and left in a daze.

Shi Xuanling turned her head, and without any further hesitation, she leaned over to the thin figure in the corner, carefully brushed her hair aside, and checked her injuries.

"Little sister, are you okay? What's your name, is there any injury on your body?"

That extremely beautiful face was completely revealed in front of Shi Xuanling, with a sharp chin and delicate eyebrows, it was clearly a charming face, but for some reason, there was only a cold aura exuding from his whole body, as if surrounded by thousands of flowers. , a blue butterfly flying alone.

Yes, it was a blue butterfly. Shi Xuanling could clearly see a cold and lonely ice blue butterfly flying around the little girl's shoulders surrounded by white mist.

Looking at the solitary and cold butterfly, and thinking about what the chef Liu said just now, Shi Xuanling couldn't help but feel more pity for the little girl who "protected her mother and killed her father", but she didn't know that in front of her eyes The other person also stared at her brown pupils in a daze.

It wasn't until Shi Xuanling asked again carefully, that beautiful face came back to his senses, his thin lips moved, and he finally spoke:

"I'm not a little sister, my name is Xiaomo."

Shi Xuanling took a sharp breath, her eyes almost popped out, she was as shocked as if she saw a monster: "You, why are you a man?"

-

The sea breeze is howling and the waves are hitting the rocks. The night on Yunzhou Island is always very cold and quiet.

The candlelight in the room was flickering, Pei Shixi sat in front of the case, his handsome face was extremely quiet, he read the slave contract in his hand again, and after confirming that it was correct, he threw it into the nearby stove .

Seeing that the tongue of fire licked up the deed little by little, and finally there was no dust left, Pei Shixi let out a breath slowly, looked up at the little boy standing in front of him, with a gentle smile on his lips. smile:
"Xiao Mo, your slave status has been cancelled. From today onwards, you will have a new life and regain your freedom."

The bond of slavery he burned belonged to this frail, but extremely handsome young man in front of him.

When Pei Shixi came to the island this time, in addition to taking away Xi Yuehan, he also took away a criminal slave. For this reason, he found an excuse and asked Emperor Yun for an order. The Zhenfu Department needed a "medicine man" to punish the prisoners and refine poison. It just so happened that he came to Yunzhou Island this trip, why not pick one of the lowest slaves and bring him back to the Zhenfusi.

The life of a sin slave is insignificant, and becoming a medicine man just "makes the best use of everything". Emperor Yun waved his hand and agreed casually.

Wen Yanru got the will, Pei Shixi justifiably went up to the Chongming Pagoda, opened the list of criminal slaves, pointed at it seemingly casually, and said nonchalantly: "Just him, he is only 12 years old, young, still a boy, easy to practice Some, soaked in medicinal soup every day, tried all kinds of poisons, and they are the most suitable to be 'medicine masters'."

Wen Yanru heard her breathing tremble, and couldn't bear it: "Does it have to be tested with living people? If so, what if you are accidentally poisoned to death?"

"If you die, you will die." Pei Shixi raised his lips and smiled, and wrote lightly: "Just carry it out and bury it. At worst, the Zhen Fusi will find a new medicine man, what else can I do?"

"Yes, but this is a human life after all, and it's only twelve..."

"Okay, General Wen, the imperial decree cannot be violated. Send him to my room. I'll see how his body is. Is it a good material? You don't have to worry about the rest, okay?"

After only one day on the island, Pei Shixi accomplished three things——

After exploring the reality of Yue Wugui, he met with Xi Yuehan and made a deal, and successfully took Xiaomo away.

"Uncle Wu, thank you, I know you will come, I have been waiting for you."

The 12-year-old boy stood under the lamp with an indistinguishable and beautiful face. He had already bathed and changed clothes, combed his hair, took off his dirty clothes, and put on the fancy clothes that Pei Shixi had prepared for him. , radiant from head to toe, becoming more and more beautiful, but the cold temperament on her body remains unchanged, like a lonely ice blue butterfly in the dark night.

The cry of "Uncle Fifth" made Pei Shixi's long eyelashes twitch slightly. Looking at the thin young man in front of him, he was filled with emotion for a moment. He couldn't help but sighed, and took Xiaomo's hand and sat down.

"Good boy, you are suffering."

Xiaomo's mother and Pei Shixi are of the same clan, and are somewhat distantly related. According to seniority, Xiaomo should call Pei Shixi "fifth uncle".

"Uncle Wu came to the island to pick you up this time, and he will send you back to the clan. From then on, you don't have to suffer anymore. Just listen to Uncle Wu, stay in the clan with peace of mind, and live a good life, okay?"
