All Red Mansions want to attack me [Red Mansion]

On the day when Baoyu dispatched troops to leave Beijing, Xiren never went to see him off.On the contrary, he took his own deed of selling himself, and went to kowtow in front of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang without saying a word, only saying that he had obtained grace from the third master Bao, and after that, he would no longer serve in the mansion.

Jia Mu was already crying so much that she could hardly speak, but when she heard his words again, although she didn't say it, she felt really cold in her heart--Xi Ren has always been served by Baoyu's side, and he has everything in life. He has never been treated badly, and he is even more honorable than the young masters from small families outside.Now Baoyu just encountered a disaster, but before his life was endangered, why did he want to leave him?

In an instant, her heart was completely chilled, and she didn't feel a little bit cold when she looked at Xi Ren.Sitting silently for a long while, after all, he was thinking of his dedication to serving him all these years, and he couldn't say anything harsh, only waved his hands wearily.

"You go."

She sighed softly, thin lines appeared between her brows, and she seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Mrs. Wang has never had such a good temper. Even though she always looks like a bodhisattva with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, she can't help opening her mouth to scold at this moment, but Jia Mu stops her.

"People's hearts are no longer here, and it's no fun to force them to stay."

Xiren kowtowed to them upright, didn't pack anything, only brought a few coarse clothes from his own home, didn't put a penny on them, so he wanted to go out in such a simple way.Qingwen was tying knots in the room, but when she saw him like this, she felt something was wrong, so she hurried out the door: "Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving the house." Xiren grabbed the package in his hand and smiled at him.

"What house are you going to?" Qingwen asked suspiciously, "Master is not at home now, what are you going out to do with your clothes like this?"

"I have asked myself to leave my low status," Xiren said indifferently, "I have also been rewarded with a contract of sale by my master. Now, I am no longer a slave of this mansion."

"What is the deed of selling one's life!" Qingwen was terrified, and suddenly three steps turned into two steps forward, "What are you talking about? When the master came back, he saw that you were not in the mansion—"

"Did you forget?" Xiren cut off the second half of his sentence coldly, "I am going this time, and I have no intention of returning alive."

This sentence made Qingwen feel completely cold for a moment, and then she staggered back two steps, this time with a low wry smile and said: "Yes."

How could he forget it, it was just to make himself not think of it.

Every night in the dead of night, thinking of Baoyu's expression when he handed over the deed of prostitution to him that day, he would feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body could not help but start to shiver—in the past ten years, the meaning of all his existence It's all about this person, the direction of his efforts, every word and smile...all are related to this person.If this person remembers him a little bit, he can't help but be happy for a day in his heart; and if this person is criticized by the master one day, even he will be gloomy and rainy, and he will not be able to arouse any interest.

All his happiness, anger, sorrow, joy, these small emotions he possessed, but they all revolved around Baoyu.Therefore, Qingwen never thought about what would happen to her if Baoyu was gone?

So I can only choose to blindfold myself and pretend to be waiting for Baoyu to come back from school every day.It seemed that the next moment, his grandfather had already lifted the curtain and walked in with a smile again.

"However, I don't believe that you can leave in such a heartless way!" Qingwen gritted her teeth and said, "Even if the master handed over the deed of sale and cohabitation to us that day, you never accepted it, you—"

"I took it."

"what?"

"I said, I have already accepted it." Xiren pursed his lips slightly, his eyes were full of determination, and he was no longer as gentle and talkative as before. I kowtowed to the old lady and madam, and since then, I have nothing to do with this mansion."

Qingwen was dumbfounded for a while, and then slowly calmed down.He took a few steps forward, stared into Xiren's eyes, and said firmly, "I don't believe it."

"Others may believe your rhetoric, but I have known you for more than ten years, how can I not know your thoughts? You will always be more dedicated and dedicated to your master, how can you Abandon him because of the current predicament?"

Before Xiren could say another word, Qingwen hurriedly said, "I'm going too. I'm going to pack my things now."

"Where to go?"

"Go to find the master." Qingwen plunged into the side room, without saying a word, poured out all the things in her box, and hurriedly cleaned up, "Don't try to trick me, I'm not the same as Musk Moon. Silly boy, it's not so easy to deceive - you must have asked for a contract to go out for the sake of finding your master, and I will go too."

Xiren looked at him at the door for a while, and finally smiled helplessly: "I can't hide anything from you."

"It's natural!" After saying these few words, Qingwen had already packed up some clothes, stuffed them into a ball, tied a parcel with a cloth, and then went to kowtow to Jiamu.The man at the door stretched out his arm to stop him, and said in a low voice, "You can't go."

"Why?" Qingwen's phoenix eyes widened, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes suddenly shone with a captivating light, like a cat with fried hair, "Since you can go, why don't you allow me to go with you?"

Xiren blocked the door, then pulled him to the table and sat down, looked at him for a while, and sighed slightly.

"This time going south, I'm afraid that the wind, frost, rain and snow on the way will push you back, what should I do?"

"I'm not afraid!"

"Listen to me first," Xiren stretched out a bare hand, pressed some strength on his shoulder, and then said slowly, "there are always only two of us serving by my side. We and After having been with him for so long, I am afraid that he is also the person who understands his mind best."

"However, this time, not to mention the fact that the South China Sea is now in the midst of Japanese pirates, but the mountains are high and the water is far away, and the journey is long, how can it be so easy? I will go alone, even if I am buried on the way. But if you I also went together, but when Master comes back, who else can serve him by his side?"

"The tea he likes to drink, the clothes he likes to wear, his thoughts and feelings, if no one around him can understand, why should the master find such a person from the beginning again, and then carefully study it for more than ten years? Is it?"

"So, this time, there must be one of you and me who can't go."

These words made Qingwen startled, she didn't know how to refute for a while, and said after a while: "Then I will walk alone—"

"No." Xiren stopped him softly, and said in a gentle voice, "Your appearance is too grand, and you can't cover it up. It's not as good as my ordinary life. I'm afraid the road is even more unsafe. Therefore, you don't need to fight with me anymore. Just stay here with peace of mind and wait for the master to return."

Qingwen froze for a while, and then spat out with red eyes: "If you don't go, you won't go! Who cares about walking with you!"

"That's good." Xiren nodded and chuckled, then took the things and walked out the door without looking back.Qingwen held the door behind him and watched him for a long time, Fang suddenly ran up quickly and grabbed his sleeve.He turned his head awkwardly, so that Xiren could not see the expression on his face at the moment.

"Not only Grandpa...you also have to come back safe and sound."

Xi Ren's eyes faintly moved, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up, but this time he smiled sincerely.He nodded and said softly, "Okay."

He embarked on the journey without looking back.

Compared with Baoyu, Xiren's journey to the south is more difficult - he was originally from a poor family, and since he was five or six years old, he has been staying in that magnificent Rongguo Mansion every day, almost never take a step.He didn't have much silver in his hand, but it was some gold and silver shackles that Baoyu once rewarded him, and he didn't know how to ride a horse. When he met a remote place, no one was willing to take him all the way, so he had to choose to follow one direction He gritted his teeth and walked on.

However, the real difficulty is far from this.He was alone, and although his appearance was not as good as Qingwen's, he was already high-class. He might have provoked some bandits along the way.Therefore Xiren covered his face with black ashes wherever he went, pretending that he was just an ordinary farmer, and he was very careful when he traveled, for fear of causing disaster somewhere.

When he got to a place where no one was around, there were some wild beasts roaming around, he was sleeping alone, how could he dare to lie down with peace of mind?He had no choice but to build a fire on the spot, relying on this fire, to force himself not to fall asleep.It is not until the next day that we travel to a village or city that we borrow a place to stay or find an inn to rest for a while.

In this way, he traveled for two or three months on this journey to the south.It was the twelfth lunar month when we left, but now it is the end of winter, although it is still a bit chilly, it is warmer after all.He walked all the way so persistently, and finally found out where Baoyu is now from the villagers in the South China Sea.

Fortunately, Bao Yusheng was really outstanding, and among the rough guys, he was even more out of place and stood out from the crowd.All the villagers who had seen him before remembered him vividly, so Xiren was able to walk unimpededly, walking towards the camp with a kind old man.

The exhaustion of the past few months has made his legs feel as heavy as lead, but his heart is beating happily - even Xiren himself can't tell how he went all the way. When he got here, he really had such an obsession in his heart, thinking about going to see Baoyu and staying by Baoyu's side according to his words, this obsession even outweighed the pain in his body, and made him lose even the slightest bit of determination. Never been shaken.

But now, he was finally going to find that person.

Xiren looked at the road ahead with determination in his eyes.

----------

This battle was fought in unprecedented darkness, where even the sun and the moon were dimmed in smoke.Liu Hanyan has always been experienced in using troops, so he adopted a three-way outflanking technique, and killed the Japanese pirates who were just dealt with yesterday, so he was caught off guard.When the prince was finally captured alive, it was already dawn on the second day, and even Baoyu's clothes were dripping with blood, and he was panting unceasingly.

Seeing that the prince was detained and the Japanese pirates were leaderless, they did not dare to act rashly again.Liu Hanyan was able to order the cavalry to continue chasing the group of remnants and defeated generals, and did not stop until they were all intercepted.Only dozens of people escaped in a panic, and most of the others became the ghosts of Daqing soldiers.

Riding high on the horse, Liu Hanyan looked at the battlefield full of corpses and blood, and quickly turned over and got off the horse.He stepped on this hot soil that was watered by countless blood, and whispered: "Pick up the corpses of these soldiers and return to the camp."

Because of another big victory, when everyone went back that day, they were all elated.Although exhausted all over, I can't wait to hum a little tune.

It wasn't until a former soldier on the road noticed something strange, and everyone rushed forward to check it out, only then did they realize that the Japanese pirates had drawn hundreds of people to take this opportunity to sneak attack on the Daqing camp!

Unfortunately, today, the road is full of people who want to go up the mountain to escape. Naturally, the red-eyed Japanese pirates cannot let them go easily. If one of them escapes and reports the news, it will be another defeat.Therefore, they raised their knives almost without hesitation, without any mercy, and slaughtered this group of helpless villagers.

Some people in the army dared not believe it: "We saw them yesterday when we came here, and they are still fine..."

But now, those who paid silent salutes to them yesterday, wishing them a great victory, are now sleeping here forever.Dozens of corpses were randomly thrown on the side of the road like this, stained with blood, and the soil under them was also soaked in a large area of ​​dark red.Their eyes were still unwilling to close, and they stared hard, staring at the sky.

Even the Duke Protector, who was always cruel, couldn't help feeling a little sad at this moment, and closed his eyes forcefully.

"Buried."

This is war.

Baoyu got off his horse without saying a word, and also helped him to dispose of the corpse.When he was carefully arranging the clothes of one of the old people, he suddenly noticed that the clothes were scattered in the struggle, and the front flap was wide open on the corpse beside him whose face was covered by a cloak. Something extremely familiar.

...that is an official kiln white porcelain bowl.It was packed tightly with a belt, and it was well protected. I couldn't tell what was inside, but now most of it was spilled, like some kind of food.

For some reason, he couldn't help but tremble with his hands.

On that bowl, the pattern of peony commonly used by the Jia family was imprinted impressively.
