Wanqingsi

Chapter 34
I went out early in the morning, and it was already dusk when I returned.The long streets and deep alleys are deep and lonely, just like my mood at the moment.Occasionally, passers-by who returned late passed by, with scattered footsteps.I closed my eyes, feeling a little tired, my mind was empty, I didn't want to think about anything, I didn't want to think about it.I just hope that nothing will disturb me, no matter where this sedan chair takes me, it just needs to give me a little time and space to lick my wounds by myself.

But God has a grudge against me, I already knew that.The soft sedan stopped suddenly, it was not a normal ups and downs, it seemed to be thrown to the ground suddenly, I sat in the sedan and was jolted from side to side, accompanied by Xiao Hong's exclamation, I opened the door on the sedan door ignorantly. The curtain, the bearer did not know where to hide. In front of the long street, a masked man in black held a long sword and looked at me.

It's him?I recognize his eyes.The man in black who assassinated Mr. Yu, the man in black who saved me from Yu Die'er.Ever since I was fascinated by Yu Die'er that day, I have been lying on the bed, there are always people coming and going in the room, without stopping, I have never seen this man in black again.I don't know why he came to me several times. He saw me lift the curtain and said to Xiaohong: "I want to take your girl away. I don't want to hurt you. You go."

I was startled, Xiaohong was terrified, and stammered: "Master, why did you..., take my girl away, my girl is a good person..."

The man in black flicked his long sword, drawing a sword flower, the cold light of the sword frightened Xiaohong's face, I hurriedly said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, do as he said!"

"Girl!" There was panic and fear in Xiaohong's eyes, I got out of the sedan chair and smiled at her comfortingly: "It's okay, be obedient!"

The man in black rushed over, grabbed my wrist and ran forward.At this moment, a coquettish shout came from midair: "Leave someone here!"

Two streaks of pink and one purple flashed across the air and landed on the ground. They turned out to be two pretty girls. I took a closer look and found that the faces of these two girls looked familiar. With the dagger in my waist, I rushed towards the man in black. I suddenly remembered who these two women were. They were the two pretty maids I saw at Chu Shang when I first came to this world. , It seems to be called Ziyuan.No wonder Yueniang was so relieved that I was going out. It turned out that these two servant girls had been watching me all the time. In vain I thought that those two bearers were the ones watching me.

The man in black sneered, and said, "Just because you little girl wants to block me? Huh!" As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and with a single step, he shot out like a shooting star.Whirling like a dragon in mid-air, the sword body was surrounded by purple air. It was obvious that the sword was pierced with internal force. When it met the short sword of the pretty maid Zi Yuan, only two crisp sounds of "Dang Dang" were heard, and Zi Yuan hit the black robe with the sword. The man's long sword was forcefully forced back a few steps by him.The black-clothed man sneered, the long sword rang like thunder from the nine heavens, Zi Dian slammed violently, with a "click", Zi Yuan was injured by the internal force of the black-clothed man's sword, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

But seeing the woman in pink rushing over, she raised her hand and threw out a pink ribbon, bringing the fragrant wind towards the man in black. Said: "I don't want to hurt people, if you force me again, don't blame me for being rude."

The woman in pink put away the ribbon, supported Zi Yuan, and said with a charming smile: "This uncle, our sisters, although we can't stop you, it is not so easy for me to take someone away from our sisters." As he spoke, the ribbon in his hand flew out like a poisonous snake spitting out letters.

"I don't know what's good!" the man in black said angrily, "Then don't blame me for being rude!" "Zizi" made the sound of silk being torn, the ribbon was split into hundreds of pieces under his sword, and scattered in all directions, like colorful butterflies falling from the sky.The man in black was getting closer and closer with his sword, and the two maids did not dodge or dodge. A strange smile appeared on the face of the woman in pink, and when the man in black was about to rush in front of the two, his figure suddenly swayed. The man in clothes staggered back two steps while rubbing his chest, reached out his hand to count on his body, raised his head suddenly, startled and angry: "What a despicable girl, you actually poisoned me!"

The pink-clothed woman smiled triumphantly, and admitted openly: "The martial arts of the uncle are much higher than that of the little girl. If you don't use poison, how can you stop the uncle from robbing the women?"

"What are you robbing the women..." The man in black suddenly stopped talking, clutching his chest, as if the poison had been released extremely quickly, the man in black didn't dare to delay any longer, glared at the two women viciously, and turned to look to the side. He rushed down the alley and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.The girl in pink wanted to chase after her, but was blocked by the purple kite, she said in a deep voice: "My lord didn't ask us to do other things, don't make any trouble."

The woman in pink stamped her feet and snorted coldly: "Fortunately, that man runs fast, if he delays for a while, he will not be able to run even if he wants to. Next time, I will make him taste the power of falling into my Lan Zhi's hands."

It turned out that the pretty maid named Lan Zhi who was doing evil things was really beautiful, but she had a heart like a snake and a scorpion. People, you really can't be judged by appearances.Only then did Xiaohong come back to her senses, and hurriedly ran to the two pretty maids to thank: "Thank you two girls for saving us today." I mocked helplessly in my heart, Xiaohong, Xiaohong, you really mistook the bad guy When you become a good person, I will teach you someday, the word "bad" will not be engraved on the face of a bad person.

The two women didn't even look at Xiaohong, they just stared at me coldly, with an arrogant look on their faces, they turned and left without saying a word, leaving the bewildered Xiaohong at a loss. Walking towards me, she turned her head and looked around: "Girl, did Xiaohong say something wrong? Those two girls don't seem very happy."

I smiled, and called the bearer who was so frightened to hide in the corner to lift the sedan chair, got into the sedan chair, and then said indifferently: "Xiaohong, not everyone should thank you for 'saving' you, just be that one." The two girls are chivalrous, so don't ask for anything in return."

It's really interesting, I, a little weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, has attracted many people to covet me.In order to lure the man in black out, Mr. Yu would at least deploy some actions, but I didn’t expect it to be someone from Chu Shang who came to settle the matter; Chu Shang made it clear that he would not let me go; what was the man in black doing? , Contact me several times?You even want to take me away?Wei Lanxue, Wei Lanxue, you have caused a lot of trouble with your body.

In front is Yihonglou, Yueniang has been waiting in front of the gate for a long time, she was relieved when she saw us coming back, and said with a smile: "Miss was frightened on the way."

The news is well-informed.I smiled faintly and went straight back to the room without answering her.Xiaohong waited for me to wash and change clothes, just after changing clothes, she heard someone knocking on the door, Xiaohong went to open the door, and after a while brought a bowl of steaming traditional Chinese medicine over, and said in a low voice: "Girl, the Chongxi soup sent by Yueniang, Let you obey."

I took a look at the bowl of soup, smiled disapprovingly, and said to Xiaohong, "Pour it out." After she took the stage last time, Yueniang also asked someone to bring over a bowl of this "Chongxi soup", which is said to prevent the girl from receiving guests The one who was pregnant later was also secretly dumped by me. I didn't even pick up the guests. How could I have a big belly?I don't know if there are any side effects after drinking this soup.

"Girl..." Xiaohong hesitated, "This is not good, if Yueniang finds out..."

"General Ji didn't ask me to serve him today." I frowned, "Take it away quickly, I feel uncomfortable when I smell this medicine." Since I was a child, I was afraid of taking medicine, not to mention traditional Chinese medicine, just a pill I have to drink several times of water to swallow the convenient and easy-to-swallow Western medicine, and sometimes I still feel nauseous after swallowing it.

When Xiaohong heard this, she quickly took the medicine and left. After a while, she entered the inner room, her hand was empty, and I asked with a smile, "Where is it? Don't let Mother Yue see and say you."

"Don't worry, girl. I mixed it with the wash water and threw it away. Mother Yue won't find out." Xiaohong said smartly. Seeing me sitting in front of the dressing table, she came over cleverly, "I'll help the girl comb her hair." .”

Putting his hand on my head, he let out a "huh" and said in surprise, "I forgot to ask the girl just now, why did the girl's hair get up?"

I was stunned, stroked the bun on my head, looked at the pale face of the woman in the mirror, and felt a pain in my heart.Gently pulled out the hairpin on the head, the hair full of black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.I picked up the hairpin and stared at it in a daze.It was a mahogany hairpin, with a blooming magnolia carved on the hairpin head. The carving was not exquisite, and the simple lines were simple and rough, completely incompatible with the delicate and gentle temperament of the magnolia flower.

It's such a simple hairpin that actually broke my golden bell cover, making me confused and unable to be myself.Is it because I've been lonely for too long, so his unintentional act of sculpting hairpins and curly hair just happened to be at the right time, place and people, and made me realize the dream I have always had in my previous life.In this time and space where the years are quiet and the world is stable for others, it is dangerous and frightening for me. What can calm the mind or escape the body is love, right?That's why my heartbeat and emotion come so fast and so frantically, so no matter who gives me a warm embrace, I miss and envy it.There was a wry smile on the corner of my lips, it turns out that after living for 30 years, I still don't understand love.Am I not fit to love someone anymore, when I try to "hold my hand", when I learn "My heart is a rock", when I go through "Three Thousands of Weak Water", when I feel "Winter Thunder Shakes Summer Rain and Snow" , I, have been looking for the wrong person.

This is not an age suitable for my love growth, he is not the person I am suitable to love.To him, I am just a brothel girl hired by him, a plaything on the spot, easy to dream, easy to entertain, easy to betray, easy to forget, I have no reason to ask him to treat me equally. What demanded from him something in return?I forgot my identity and my situation, and thought that if I had paid, I would ask him to do the same. It was ridiculously stupid, and that's why I broke up unhappy and ended in an awkward way.

That's all, from now on, just treat him as an ordinary benefactor.Life is but a dream.When I came to this time and space, it was more like a dream. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, so I should enjoy myself in time, so that my journey in this world is not in vain.

The hairpin is still there, but the heart has gone through vicissitudes.Yu, although I also know what innocence and persistence are, but your disengagement and hesitation, or even a little bit of cowardice and a little bit of hypocrisy, make me too weak to truly embrace love.I raised the hairpin, half-closed my eyes, and chuckled softly: "Hehe, from now on, let's get drunk together."

Frowning brows only complain that there is no joy together, the painting building is locked in love, recalling the past and youth, not afraid of the cold spring when drinking wine.

Three thousand eyebrows, eight hundred Qinhuai, chatting and laughing.Who knows how many vicissitudes of life have changed into mulberry fields now.

Pull open the bottom of the makeup box, and gently put the hairpin in.Lock heart, lock love.Yu, the next time I see me, I will still be the daring prostitute Carmen who leans on the red building with unparalleled lyrics and music. The me who once left my heart on you will never come back again.
