beg for chivalry

Wang Xiaoyuan squatted outside the bedroom.

As the dark night fell, there was a flutter of pure white snow in the yard.

He was locked up in the woodshed for several days, and finally had to be released.This time was different from usual, every night in the middle of the night, a pretty girl would quietly come to the door with a wooden food box, and spread the pain on the bruises on her body.The girl's catkin is cold and tender, and every time it touches the skin, it always makes Wang Xiaoyuan shudder, and then blushes.Later Wang Xiaoyuan heard that the girl was called Zuo Sanniang, and she was a new maid in the Jin Mansion.She has a good temper and is kind to him, but she always likes to walk around Young Master Jin with a smile like a flower, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, he was holding a wooden tray in his hand, Sanniang was too busy in the back kitchen, and asked him to take it to Young Master Jin.On the plate was a bowl of jujube porridge and a bowl of pitch-black soup. The bitter taste of the medicine made Wang Xiaoyuan wrinkle his nose.He squatted nervously on the stone steps for a while, then hesitantly turned around and knocked on the door.No one answered inside, so he waited for a while, then pushed the door timidly and poked his head in.

"Master..."

"…go out."

The room is quiet and quiet, only a dry and hard couch, a small incense burner that has turned ashes, and the rest is the moonlight that fills the room like water.Wang Xiaoyuan only heard a cold sound, and then saw a shadow curled up on the couch.Jin Wu shrank under the quilt, leaving only the back of his head for him, his hair was disheveled and seemed to be trembling slightly.

Wang Xiaoyuan put the wooden support at his feet, moved it over carefully little by little, and murmured. "Sanniang... I'll put the medicine I sent you here."

Jin Wu turned over, buried his face in the soft pillow, and gritted his teeth. "Understood, you quickly... get out."

He was dying of pain.But when he thought that Yu Qiuxia had suffered such sad pain in the past, his heart suddenly felt bad.How could he lose to that idiot? In terms of enduring pain and showing off, the two of them are equally capable.

But instead of leaving, Wang Xiaoyuan boldly tiptoed a few steps towards the couch.He got up, bent down to touch the gap between the floor tiles, and rustled the small hole on the side of the brick, which he had secretly chiseled out earlier.At this time, he stretched out two fingers and lifted the floor tiles. Before taking away the thing hidden under it, he caught a glimpse of it, and immediately felt relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

But before his hand touched the object, he was grabbed tightly.A pale hand stretched out from the couch and firmly grasped his wrist.Jin Wu turned over and sat up at some point, trembling all over, picked up the small cloth bag from the floor tiles from Wang Xiaoyuan's eyes.

Inside the cloth bag were the Medicine Buddha broken in two, and a sackcloth figurine full of needles.The little man was sewn upside down, one leg was cut open, revealing the reed catkins inside, a knife cut was made on his face, and the word "Golden Crow" was written on his body.

Needless to say, it must be used to curse people.Seeing Jinwu pouring these two small objects out of the cloth bag, Wang Xiaoyuan was instantly pale with fright.The Golden Crow looked at the broken Buddha statue and the villain over and over again, and finally smiled mockingly for a long time:

"You sneaked into my room just to put this crap? When did you put it?"

Wang Xiaoyuan shrunk his neck, "No... I didn't let it go, it was... someone else." He was silent for a while, then stammered, "It's... Zuo Sanniang! Well, maybe it's Aunt Mu..."

Jin Wu said coldly: "Do you think there is anyone else in the Jin Mansion who is expecting my death?" He stared at it for a while, then laughed, but it was a pity that his smile was half-hearted, "What kind of curse is this? Knowing that Liuliguang Buddha can ward off disasters and live a long life, did you drop the Buddha statue to curse me for a short life?"

Wang Xiaoyuan panicked: "No...I just think about..." He thought that if the Jinwu was sick, he would beat and scold him without energy.This curse seems to be working, these days Sanniang and Aunt Mu are busy brewing medicine in the back kitchen, they don't even have time to deliver soup to their master.At this time, Wang Xiaoyuan thought he had succeeded, because Jin Wu looked really sick, his face was as white as snow, and his voice became hoarse and weak.

"It turns out that you are nothing more than a dog, and you still remember my hatred?" Jin Wu said, with a mocking look on his brows, and coughed a few times, "I tell you, Wang Xiaoyuan. You are just a man with a bag of dung in your stomach My dear servant. At my birthday party, who allowed you to give me something, I feel ashamed to see your shabby thing in the bag..."

Seeing his mouth opening and closing, spitting out more and more harsh words, Wang Xiaoyuan couldn't restrain himself, and his grievance turned into anger.He slammed Jinwu's hand away, and gave the headbutt to the abominable skull with all his strength.Jin Wu was hit by this sudden blow, his eyes were staring, his head buzzed, the silk cloth wrapped around his forehead fell off, and a bloodstain flowed from the open wound.

"You son of a donkey... Wang Xiaoyuan!"

Wang Xiaoyuan took the opportunity to jump out of the door and ran away.From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the violent master of his family getting up from the bed and rushing to the bed with a whimper.Fortunately, Jinwu's legs and feet were not flexible, and he was limping on one leg, so he didn't catch up for a long time.Wang Xiaoyuan rushed to the second gate early, and when he looked back, he saw the golden crow fell down from the stone steps in front of the main house, rolling all over in snow in embarrassment.

Jin Wu wanted to get up, but his hands and feet were limp as if they had slipped, and a dark blue eye was exposed from the messy hair, staring at him viciously.Wang Xiaoyuan shuddered, but still yelled at him: "Master, it's your fault, who told you to speak ill of me and blame me for giving you something? I'm right here, come and chase me, if If you catch up, I'll give you another twenty boards!"

But Jinwu really couldn't get up.Severe pain was brewing in the body at this moment, burning the internal organs like a raging fire.The one-phase blindness attacks became more and more frequent day by day, but Jinwu had never been used to this kind of pain.Wang Xiaoyuan ran away, and the courtyard was deserted and dead silent, only the snowflakes fell lightly on the side of his scorching face, melting into teardrop-like drops of water.

Enduring the pain, he climbed up to the side of the stone steps, staring blankly at the gray sky.Jin Wu thought, this is the taste of one taste and one taste.He has always been a person who fights for strength and wins. Yu Qiuxia endured it for several months, from Xia Ren to Dong, he must not lose to that idiot.

In the days after the winter solstice, the cold wind invaded the muscles, and the hands and feet seemed to be frozen and unable to move.Jin Wu leaned against the stone steps and fell asleep. He dreamed that there were two silhouettes in the white snow. One was tall and straight, with scales and armor and a brocade robe. He was a handsome man with elegance.Standing next to the man was a woman in a short coat and leather boots, with long black braids and a small diamond bell tied to the end of the braids, which rang crisply when the wind moved.The two stood side by side, watching Xue quietly on the veranda in the courtyard.There are begonias planted on the flower bed in the courtyard, which is where they once lived, and there is also a huge old pear tree with purple-brown bark. When spring comes, there will be pear blossoms on the branches like snow clouds.

Jin Wu looked at their illusory backs, his heart was suddenly filled with sorrow, and he couldn't breathe like drowning.Maybe he took a step to the underworld, and only then will he think of his deceased parents.

Someone wiped his cheeks with a soft handkerchief, and called softly, "Fifth brother... Fifth brother!"

The eyelids were heavy as if filled with lead, Jinwu opened his eyes tiredly, and saw Zuo Sanniang squatting in front of him, looking at him anxiously, "Why are you sleeping here? Is the poison taking effect?"

"And Wang Xiaoyuan...just messing around."

Zuo Sanniang was half worried, half dumbfounded, and wiped the hurt and anger on his face carefully with a silk cloth. "Could it be possible for you to fall like this? Look at the wounds on your forehead are all cracked! I thought you and that surnamed Yu would be able to look like a human being, and at least you would be less injured. Why are you getting serious now? many?"

She tried her best to help Jinwu back to the room, finally tossed him back on the couch, moved a small mat and sat aside, propped up her chin and fluttered her eyelashes and said, "Fifth brother, I also have a short time here." It's time, I have something to say to you."

Jin Wu stared straight out of the window again, as if he wanted to look for that idiot figure in the snow. "you say."

"You have to rely on me for a few things. First, the medicine cabinet in your house is empty, and the rest of the medicinal materials don't know how to pick them out to dry, and they are all moldy. If I want to cure your poison, it's like cooking without rice. Zuo Sanniang stuck out her tongue and said with sparkle in her eyes, "In a few days, you have to take me to the town to play, buy me glutinous osmanthus cake, and I'll grab some medicine for you."

"Yeah." Jin Wu was obviously absent-minded.

Zuo Sanniang's beautiful face suddenly frowned, baring her teeth and threateningly. "Second! You have to stay away from that little hozen surnamed Yu! I see that every time you see him, you feel distraught and furious. It will make you more angry, hemoptysis worse, and you simply can't see it. Don't worry." Had a good time with him."

Jin Wu finally retracted his gaze, and turned to look at her hesitantly: "Really?"

Sanniang nodded seriously.Although it was also caused by her personal affair during this period, but after seeing Wang Xiaoyuan, Jinwu became more and more disturbed, his mind was restless, and his illness became a little worse.

"This is exactly what I wanted," Jin Wu retorted, "I wish he hated me, the farther away from me the better, so that when I die he can applaud instead of crying."

The girl sighed deeply, lowered her eyebrows slightly and said: "The more you hate, the more you will remember. If he remembers one day, won't he cry even more? I know he wants to save you, you are his The only one who wants to save."

"But he will be moved by the joys and sorrows of the people he met by chance, and he will work hard for the fate. He doesn't want to make me sad, and I don't want to make him sad." Jin Wu said.He spoke a lot in one breath, and looked a little tired.The days after poisoning are always extra sleepy. At this time, he blinked slowly and asked, "Is there anything else? Didn't you just say that you want me to do three things for you? What is the last thing?"

Zuo Sanniang slightly passed his direct gaze, shaking her little feet covered in silk shoes, and suddenly said in an innocent tone: "... Sanniang hasn't figured it out yet."

Jin Wu had almost nothing to say: "Then why did you say three things so casually? When I am a Bodhisattva, you owe me a wish first, and then promise it in the future?"

The moon disc protrudes from the thick and turbulent sea of ​​clouds, shining brightly with the fire beans in the cloud-patterned copper oil lamp. The room seems to be filled with warm waves, filled with soft light and shadows.Zuo Sanniang's pretty shadow fell on the bluestone bricks, moving playfully.

"That's right, it's because I didn't think about it, so I want you to live until the day I want. Even if my wish is fulfilled, I still want you to be by my side and protect me forever."

The girl looked at him with a smile on her face, her words sounded a little bit apologetic, but there was a warm light in her eyes: "Fifth Brother, I want you to live. I don't want you to die, not for the rest of my life."
