The queen must start from the head

Chapter 27

"System, I'm very upset right now, can you comfort me..."

"Host, as far as I know, you have no time to worry now because someone is blowing poison into your room."

What?Mu Lian woke up with a start, and immediately slowed down and got off the bed, then quietly walked to the misty bamboo tube, pinched it lightly with her hand, and suppressed the smoke that was about to spew out.

After a while, there was a coughing sound outside the house.

"Which god damn it, you actually sold it to me as a fake!"

The person outside the room just let out a low growl, and in the next second a palm made of purple zhenqi grabbed him into the room.

"Tell me, who are you and why are you blowing smoke into my room?"

Mu Lian looked at the person in front of her who was caught by her. He was a little boy about ten years old, with a red face, very pleasing.Just opening his mouth to speak, old-fashioned.

"What else can I do by blowing smoke? Of course it's to rob you. I've been caught by you. You can kill or chop me up as you please!" The boy said, raising his neck high and closing it at the same time. Eye.

If Mu Lian hadn't seen his trembling eyelashes, she might have really thought that this child was not afraid of death.

She raised her hand and slapped the other party's head, "How old are you? How dare you call yourself Lao Tzu? Also, where did your adults go? Do they all know that you came out to do such sneaky things?" ?”

The boy replied stubbornly, "Don't worry about it!"

"Yoho, you're pretty tough!" Mu Lian rolled up her sleeves as if to strike, and raised her hand as if to slap someone. The boy subconsciously raised his arm to block it, and a few brown scars slipped from him immediately. The cuffs were exposed.

The expected slap did not fall, the boy opened his eyes in surprise, only to see the little fair face opposite was frowning at the ugly scars on his arm.

He didn't dare to retract his hand. The boss once taught them that in the stealing business, once they are caught, they must give in. No matter how they pretend to be grandsons, they will do it.Otherwise, if you meet some ruthless people, you may really lose your life.

However, the little white face in front of him didn't seem to intend to teach him a lesson. Instead, he took out a white round bead from his sleeve, flicked it with his fingertips, and the bead fell into his mouth. Before he could react, That's when it melts.

"You, what did you feed me?" The boy thought that the other party had fed him poison, and his voice became high-pitched in fright.

But the other party was still looking at him with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his hand to touch his head, "It turns out that you are also afraid!"

What will he do next?Did he kill himself?Or... The boy suddenly remembered that he had heard about the small barn in the city that his companions had told about. The tortoise slaves in the bar like to catch some boys with white skin and tender flesh to go back to do business, because some men like to play with boys. child.The one in front of him couldn't be the same... When he thought of this, the boy couldn't help but shudder.

Mu Lian found that the boy under her suddenly shrank violently, and the way the boy looked at her seemed to be seeing... a pervert?Um?Is this her imagination?
"Okay, you don't have to be afraid. What I just gave you is healing medicine. If you don't believe me, look at your hands."

Hearing this, the boy opened his sleeves, and the criss-crossing scars on his arms had all disappeared at this time, as if they had never appeared before.The boy's eyes lit up immediately, but dimmed again in an instant. If his father and mother had had this medicine at that time, they wouldn't have...

"Okay, little guy. It's getting late, it's time to go home. If you don't go home, be careful your parents will spank your ass!" Mu Lian had just looked out the window, and it was already dark outside.Presumably she had been lying down for too long after she came back, and she didn't notice that it was getting dark outside.

At this moment, the boy was sure that Mulian would really not hurt him, and when he heard her talking about his parents, tears rolled down from his two big black grape-like eyes.

"I, I don't have parents anymore...I, I haven't eaten for a few days, I'm hungry...", the boy started to cry as he spoke.

Mu Lian felt a little distressed when she saw it. Although she had no children in her previous life, she had teased quite a few children born to her friends.Now looking at this child who has no parents, is hungry, and is still crying with snot and tears, she can't be cruel to let people leave.

In the end, she asked the waiter in the inn to bring up a bunch of food, and then watched the child sit at the table and gobble it up.Judging by the way the other party eats, it is estimated that he is really starved.

The boy didn't tell Mu Lian his background until he was full.

"My name is Guangming. My father and mother were originally in the embroidery business. My father said that our embroidery skills were passed down from my grandfather's grandfather. Many people like to come and buy our home. embroidery. But when I was five years old, one night, a fire suddenly broke out in our house. The house and the factory in the backyard were all burned down, and everything was burned down. If my mother hadn’t woken up, Come here, wake up my father, let him hug me, maybe our family also died in that fire."

Mu Lian didn't make a sound, and quietly listened to what he said.

"Everything in the house was burnt down. My parents had no choice but to sell the shop. But the government said that we couldn't get the land deed, so we had to sell it at a low price. There is a very big piece of land in my house. Land, my grandfather said when he was alive that anyone who wants to buy our land needs at least 50 taels of silver to start. But in the end, the government only gave my parents [-] taels of silver and beat them up. It was for them to sign and pledge. The money given by the government was later used to treat my parents’ injuries, but for some reason, their illnesses have not recovered, and they have been lying in bed, unable to get up. Until three years ago , both my father and my mother passed away, and after I finished the funeral for them, I spent all the last bit of money. Afterwards, I could only go begging along the street, and I met the current boss..." Guangming continued He talked about how he met his current boss. Although he trained him to be a thief, he was actually very kind to him and other children.

Because he has personally seen some other bosses picking up some children's tendons or blinding their eyes, making them beg for more money.

Hearing what he said, Mu Lian couldn't help but think of the time when she asked the head of the beggar to distribute leaflets, but the other party wanted to rob her.

There are too many dirty things in the corners of this world, and the imperial capital is not immune, sometimes there may be more.

At the end of the child's speech, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he slowly fell asleep on the table.

Mu Lian picked him up from the chair, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

She came to the window and opened it a corner. The moonlight filtered in, and the stars in the sky were particularly dazzling tonight.

"If a person wants to live in the world, he must fight. In the last civilized society, non-dispute would be excluded and become a weed that people trample on at will. But in this society where people can kill without breaking the law, non-dispute may be You will pay the price with your life!" Mu Lian's consciousness suddenly became clear, and she murmured, "Mu Lian, it is true that you are cowardly and afraid of death, but if you think that you can save your life by shrinking and forbearing, then you are wrong !Only by moving forward and striving upward can we truly survive!"

This point of understanding is like a whisk, wiping away the dust accumulated in her heart for many years, which is the dust formed by the forbearance, unwillingness, pain and sadness she once had.

In the past, she always treated people with a smile and hid her pain in her heart, but she ignored her right to say "no" all along.When someone pushes her down, she can say no, when someone steps on her head for promotion, she can say no, when someone wants to take her last morsel of food and spill her last drop of water Time, she wants to say no!

From tonight on, she, Mu Lian, must face her former self, and she must return to her true self!
