Wangfu Shenyuan

Chapter 3 See you in the middle of the night

The work that Xia An wants to do is indeed as Zheng Da said, it is not difficult, it just takes effort, but for Xia An, it is as difficult as climbing the sky.A 15-year-old boy, a scholar without the strength to restrain a chicken, and a young master with a lot of pampered maids and servants, if you suddenly ask him to pick a [-]-jin boulder, you will not be surprised to see the following picture.

There was a wooden pole on his shoulders, with stones weighing more than 200 kilograms on each end of the pole. The boy was bent over, trying to stand up.But every time I worked hard, I got sweat all over my body, and my cheeks became more flushed.The boy opened his mouth wide to help him breathe, his cheeks were so red that blood was about to drip.Although the drenched clothes were shabby, looking around, it was not difficult to find that among all the workers, this young man's clothes were only wet.

After working hard for a quarter of an hour, the young man dared not give up even though he was extremely tired.Five or six supervisors gathered around him, laughing non-stop around him.The boy is also angry, why is he so heavy.

The young man put down his pole, untied the knots that tied the pole to the basket, and planned to walk away with the basket in his arms.But it was just a delusion. The 200-jin stone, the boy used all his strength to hold it above his knees. After barely taking two steps, he fell heavily to the ground following the basket.

A supervisor laughed and said: "Why did you assign such an ugly and small guy? Look at his strength. He is just a little girl. Brothers, why don't we take off his trousers and see if there is anything there?" Is there anything?"

The boy was startled, and hurriedly protected the important parts with his hands.

Another burst of laughter erupted, and a voice said: "This kind of ugly monster gives me money, but I don't touch it. My little brother is very picky, and he can't get up when he sees the ugly."

I don't know who said something: "The prince is coming from the west."

Just as the young man was about to look up, the whip hit the sky and covered the ground. The young man rolled on the ground in pain, and he could hear everyone yelling, "Get up and work, or I will beat you to death."

The boy pushed back in his heart: "How did you beat me like that?"

The whip stopped soon, and the boy hurriedly got up and continued to boulder.Everyone shouted "My lord, thousand years old, thousand years old", only one person bent over abruptly and tried hard to hold the basket.

Rong Li reined in the horse, and everyone touched their heads to the ground, wishing to show their respect and humbleness by truly throwing their bodies on the ground.

The boy stood up straight with his waist supported, rubbed his sore waist with one hand, took out a cloth towel from his bosom with the other hand, shook it, wiped the sweat from his face, and folded it neatly back into his bosom.It was very hot, and the boy made a fan with his hands, fanning it quickly and non-stop.

It's so quiet, why is the chaotic venue so quiet at this time.The teenager looked around belatedly, eh, no one?No, there are a lot of riders on the highlands.At present, a person is tall, with profound facial features, and exudes bursts of coldness, which makes people dare not look deeply.Behind him were three handsome young men, followed by guards in yellow silk.

Guards in yellow silk!The young man woke up with a start. Didn't someone call "The prince is here" just now? Why didn't he react?

"My lord is thousand years old." The young man quickly landed on his knees, his voice was barely audible, and he tried his best to assimilate himself into the crowd.

boom--

Something heavy was thrown over, and the dust flew up for a while, the young man choked, wanted to cough but was afraid of being noticed, so he covered his mouth and tried to hold back.After the dust dissipated, the young man took a closer look and almost scared his soul away.

Isn't this the soft-looking young man who was bought into the palace with him?Yesterday he was selected by the manager, he said he wanted to have the most beautiful body, and he also mentioned some concubines, the young man thought he was going to do that kind of thing, but he didn't see him for a day, and the young man was thrown in front of him with arrow holes all over his body.

Beautiful body, is it used for archery?The boy bit his lower lip.

When he was at Mrs. Wang's house, the young man once delivered meals to these people who were bought. This young man looked soft and beautiful, but in fact he had the most stubborn temper.He was kidnapped and sold to Mrs. Wang.He was angry and refused to eat. Facing the iron lock, he once cried and begged the boy to let him go.The young man hesitated, because Mrs. Wang said that if she sold these people, she would not have to worry about food and clothing this year, and she would also persuade her man not to think about moving the young father's burial place.

He hesitated all night and missed a good opportunity.On the second day, the boy was also tied up carefully, and he was thrown into the carriage with everyone, and drove on the road towards the palace.

If there was no hesitation at that time, the young man was let go.Then today, there would be no horrible corpse lying in front of him.He didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him.

I don’t know when the sound of horseshoes went away, a guard stayed behind, and immediately said to the overseer who had just got up: “Throw this to the back mountain too, Mr. Hu Shilin gave the prince two golden wolf dogs, just feed them Two new ones, in Shannan, if you make a mistake, be careful and chop you up and feed them to the dogs."

The supervisor nodded and bowed in response to "Yes".After the guard also rode away, the overseer who answered straightened his waist and said angrily, "Why do you keep asking us to feed the dogs? A concubine the day before yesterday, a female corpse yesterday, and a male corpse today. It's really bad luck." .”

"Don't look at the majesty of those guards, they are actually very timid, and they tremble when they see the prince's dog legs. They don't treat the people here as human beings, so they naturally want to drag them here to find death."

"It's not too late to work."

The young man was suddenly whipped. Just as he was about to bend down to hold the basket, he heard another overseer urging: "Let him deliver the dead body, he can't work here anyway."

"Yeah, maybe I won't be able to come back after I go. We are short of manpower, so we can't lose another one. Let him go." After finishing speaking, his tone suddenly became fierce. What he said: "You, carry the corpse on your back and climb up along this road. There are two yellow dogs on the south side of the mountain. You can feed them."

The supervisor commanded two people to carry the corpse on the boy's back.The boy's feet were unsteady, and he almost fell to the ground.

After crawling for a long time with the corpse on his back, the boy turned around and only climbed for a short distance.The young man found a big tree pointing straight to the sky, and put the corpse face up. Being a clean freak, he no longer disliked the loess, and sat down on the ground, resting against the tree trunk.

Originally, he only wanted to take a rest, but when he somehow came back to his senses, he found that he had already burst into tears.homesick?The house has already been cleaned up?Miss loved ones?Not one of them stays in this muddy world anymore.

The boy realized that he had nothing to think about, so he simply didn't think about anything, and fell asleep as soon as his tired body was relaxed.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt someone pushing his shoulder, and he woke up suddenly. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Zheng Da, so he let out a long breath.

"They sent you to feed the dogs."

Zheng Da guessed the reason in one sentence, it can be seen that it is not uncommon for him to feed the dead body to the dog.The young man nodded, looked at the small shovel and a few grasses in Zheng Da's hand, and asked, "Herbs?"

"Well, I didn't find any medicine for trauma, but this medicine can reduce fever, and it can also help."

"Can you lend me this thing?"

Zheng Da was stunned: "What do you need a shovel for?"

"Pull the soil." The boy took the shovel and started digging on the spot.Zheng Da squatted beside him and asked for a long time, but the young man stopped talking. It wasn't until a big pit that could hold a person appeared that Zheng Da understood.

"You're going to bury him, you're crazy, you're going to let others find out, and we both have to feed the dogs."

The young man has calmed down now, and said slowly: "If you don't say it, I won't say it. Could it be that this dead man will say it?"

Zheng Da still wanted to say something, and held on to the boy.The boy struggled for a while, but when he couldn't break free, he stared at Zheng Da and didn't speak.After a while, Zheng Da let go, and offered to help the boy carry the corpse to bury him.

"Thank you, Brother Zheng."

Zheng Da smiled and said: "If I leave one day, you will also carry me up the mountain and find a place to bury me. If I enter a dog's belly, I will not be reincarnated. I still want to enjoy happiness in my next life." Woolen cloth."

"My lord has many dogs?" The boy wrinkled his nose.

"My lord loves dogs like crazy. In order to cultivate the wild nature of dogs, he often feeds dogs and eats human flesh. The corpses are just the dog's normal food. When the lord is interested, he will wound and bleed the living people, strip them clean, and drive them into the forest behind the mountain. Lead the dog to jump."

When the two returned to the small courtyard, dusk had already begun to fade.Ah Fu was pouring water into the tank with the bottom of the bucket in his pocket, when he saw the two people coming in, he immediately scolded: "Zheng Da, where did you die, the big guys are coming back, and the fire hasn't started yet."

"I'm going to light the fire, Xia An, go get some more firewood." It was already not easy for Zheng Da to go for a walk in the mountains with his legs limping, and he didn't dare to resist Ah Fu's accusation.

"Yo, the commanders are one by one. Xia An is a person who does heavy work, and not helping in the kitchen." Ah Fu mocked.

Xia An hurriedly said: "It's okay, I dragged Brother Zheng down, or else Brother Zheng would have come back long ago. I'll bring firewood over here, brother Afu, hurry up and cook."

The call Ah Fu was very useful, so he didn't say much, he picked up another bucket of water, poured it into a huge pot, and turned around to make noodles again.

The three people were busy going around, and when they came back, they still waited for a while before eating.But they were too surprised to see Xia An standing in the kitchen unharmed and helping, so no one made trouble.

Xia An was also very hungry, his lunch was delayed in the mountains, and there was no food in the courtyard in the morning, so his last meal was last night, more than twelve hours away.

Xia An was in good spirits after dinner.He planned to take out the clothes he brought in from under the quilt, and change into the servant clothes on his body.After working a lot of sweat and carrying dead people for a long time, Xia An wished to throw away his clothes, but with only this one, Xia An was not only reluctant, but also had no courage.Although he didn't see many people in the palace, he could tell that the people in the palace were either wearing servants' clothes or beautiful clothes.He can't wear expensive clothes.

After entering the Westinghouse, I stretched my hand under the quilt, didn't I?Stretch again, still nothing.Thinking of Zheng Da's words, Xia An suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and threw off the quilt, and there was nothing underneath.Xia An was very sad. It was the last thing in her previous life. Others were copied and sold, and some worthless ones were taken away by Mrs. Wang's men.

He wanted to get the dress back, but he didn't know who got it. As a newcomer, he opened his mouth and asked everyone to catch the thief. He would definitely be excluded.He didn't know if it would work or not to tell Guanshi Han. He hadn't figured out Guanshi Han's temper, and he didn't know the rules here.

After thinking over and over again, I first quietly told Zheng Da about this matter.He knows a thing or two about Zheng Da's temper.Weakness, enthusiasm, and a strong desire to survive are not bad for him.

Zheng Da had encountered such a thing, and advised Xia An to give up that dress: "There are often people who lose things, some people have no brains, ask everyone who took his things, and some people directly turn over everyone's bed. Although everyone They are all poor, but they still have backbone, and they are naturally angry when they are suspected of being thieves. Although they dare not retaliate openly, it is very common for people to be killed by some tricks when they are working."

"Someone else went to look for the manager. Our manager was also stunned. He dragged the person and scolded and beat everyone. Even if the things can be found, can everyone not bear the grudge against the person who lost the things?"

After Xia An heard this, she was very glad that she hadn't acted impulsively.Clothes are precious, but they are not worth your life.

Nothing happened overnight, Xia An went to work with everyone the next day, and the supervisor was a little surprised when he saw it.Coincidentally, the floor tiles of Jiuchi Roulin were delivered, and the supervisor assigned the older Xia An to install the floor tiles.

Installing floor tiles can make other people envious. It requires no effort, and it is much more comfortable than moving stones.Xia An somehow accepted everyone's surprise and jealousy, and worked peacefully for a few days.

Xia An finally couldn't bear it anymore. After two days of insomnia, one day when everyone was sleeping soundly under the crescent moon, she quietly slipped out of the courtyard with the things she needed.

He has been able to quickly find the well that draws water.Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, I fetched a bucket of water first, then took off all the clothes, soaked them in the bucket, then fished out the clothes, wrung them half dry, and then finely smeared firewood ash on the clothes, I squatted aside and rubbed it with my hands.

Rongli and Rongyi came out to enjoy the moon and talk, and somehow they came to a wasteland.Rong Yi said that this wasteland is facing the moon sky, it is better than watching the moon in the mansion or in the forest on the mountain.After hearing this, Rong Li told the servants who were accompanying him to prepare the banquet.

The two walked around to choose a place, suddenly Rong Li's eyes widened and he did not leave, Rong Yi followed his gaze and looked over.I saw a petite figure squatting by the well in the dim moonlight, his whole body without any cover was reflecting the soft white light, he was simply tied with black silk, and he was rubbing the dirty clothes full of black and ash with his hands.

From the perspective of the two of them, they could only see the side profile of that person, but it was only one side. The beauty and softness of the facial features and body lines also made the two of them feel tight.

After all, Rong Yi was young, so he was in love with the situation, thinking how to ask for this person tonight, so he opened his mouth to make fun of him in a low voice: "The people in the imperial brother's house are really interesting, I don't know what they are doing in the middle of the night?"

Rong Li shook his head and said: "This king also can't understand." He raised his voice, this time to the person squatting by the well, and said: "Who is squatting by the well, come here."

Xia An washed it smoothly, and the water in her heart was not too cold. After washing her clothes, she scooped up a bucket of water and rinsed her body.He hadn't taken a shower for many days, and the smell of sweat was so strong that he couldn't even eat.

Just as he was thinking, he heard someone talking loudly, which really startled him, he hurriedly held the wet clothes to his chest to shield him, turned around, and saw two men in brocade clothes, the cuffs and hem of the clothes were all Embroidered with golden thread dragon claws, he knew it, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, saying: "Wanfu, my lord."

When Xia An turned around to look at them, Rongli saw the other person's face clearly through the moonlight, said "Coincident" in his heart, and asked sharply, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Go back to the lord, the servant came out to wash clothes." Xia An's voice trembled, he was really terrified of this lord who would die every time he saw him.

"Washing clothes?" Rong Yi asked curiously: "You wash and wash, why are the clothes still dirty? Is it because you forgot to bring a washing stick, so you can't wash them clean?"

Xia An thought in his heart whether he should follow the prince's words, he was afraid that if he talked too much, he might offend the taboo of the prince of idleness.

Rong Li shouted: "The Fifteenth Prince asked you a question, and he didn't answer quickly. I see that you are not here to wash clothes, so I said, what are you trying to do?"

Xia An trembled, and said in an unsteady voice: "Back to the two princes, the servant is really washing clothes. The servant has no acacia, nor does he pound the clothes and pestle, so he put firewood ash on the clothes and rubbed them with his hands. Prince, The slave really has no other purpose."

"Can firewood ash be used to wash clothes?" Rong Yi opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that such a dirty thing could be used for cleaning.

"Yes. Firewood ash washes very cleanly, not worse than acacia. In the countryside, if there are no acacia trees planted in the field, I would be reluctant to buy acacia for laundry, so I wash with firewood ash. The washed clothes are very clean."

Rong Li said: "Wash it out and let me have a look."

"Yes." Xia An didn't dare to get up, kneeled to the edge of the well, and rubbed his clothes a few times.Xia An didn't want to show her body, but she had to stand up to scoop up water from the bucket. Xia An awkwardly covered it with her clothes in one hand, and lifted the water with the other.But he couldn't lift the bucket with one hand, Xia An's cold sweat poured down, his whole body was trembling, even the water in the bucket kept overflowing.

"Put it on."

Suddenly, a blue brocade jacket fell down, Xia An's body shook as if he had been whipped, and his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

"Put it on. Do you like it naked?"

He was completely dumbfounded for half a stick of incense, and only woke up in the midst of Rong Yi's impatient voice.Xia An quickly put on the clothes, let go of both hands and lifted the bucket up, then ran in the clothes, rubbed them twice, wrung out the water, unfolded the clothes, and presented them respectfully to the princes .

"It's so clean, it can really be washed." Rong Yi shouted.

Rong Li nodded indifferently, without speaking.

In the hazy moonlight, Rong Yi saw that although Xia An's face was dark and uneven, his facial features were handsome, intelligent in his work, and unique in his thoughts. At this time, the more he got to know each other, he said to Rong Li without concealment: "Brother Emperor, this I like slaves very much, please be generous, brother, and reward me with this slave."

Xia An didn't know what Rong Yi was thinking, he thought this was a good opportunity for him to leave this cannibal palace, so he knelt down again, waiting for his lord to let him go.He was very sure, because in the eyes of the brothers of the Tian Family, a servant who couldn't be named was not as valuable as a dog.The fifteen princes have already asked for someone, and the idle prince has no reason to hurt his brother's feelings for a slave.

Rong Li was silent for a while, and then he spoke after a while: "Come here, take this servant who has polluted the master's eyes to the torture hall and send him to the Sienyuan." Turning his head, he softened his voice to Rong Yi Said: "Do you like what kind of ones, why let this lowly servant dirty. Let's go, Brother Huang will show you some good ones."
