Notes on Evil Fox

"Even if I tell you, I may not necessarily help you, but I still have to tell you?" Rong Shiyin walked back into the study and poured a cup of tea on his own.

At this time, Lu Fanan wanted to try even if he had only a chance of survival. He seemed determined, with a rare seriousness and seriousness on his face. He bowed and said, "I hope you will listen to me."

Rong Shiyin looked at Lu Fan'an, and put away his usual idleness. A flamboyant and noble son also has the responsibility and courage of a man.He nodded lightly as if in thought.

Seeing that Rong Shiyin finally nodded, Lu Fanan couldn't help but sat down with excitement, "Thank you, Mr. Rong."

In the summer of five years ago, Lu Fanan, who was not yet weak, was lazily listening to the old master's words in the garden and dozing off.Suddenly woke up by several reprimands, only to hear a young servant outside the garden suppressing his voice: "What are you doing sneaking around outside this garden? If you alarm the nobles inside, I want you to look good."

"The two elder brothers are really sorry. I came here to deliver food to your house. Passing here, I heard someone talking about Mr. Wuliu. I heard that he has unique insights, so I couldn't help but stop and listen for a while." A gentle male voice came. into Lu Fanan's ears.

Lu Fanan glanced at the hype teacher who was still talking in front of him, curled his lips in disdain, is there anyone willing to listen?Thanks to the old master's deafness, he didn't hear the man's praise, otherwise he would have to brag for a long time.Lu Fanan was bored listening to it, and wailed on the table under the pretext of having a stomachache.

The old master took a look and understood.But after all, the noble son of a rich family couldn't come up with strong measures, so he could only shake his sleeves, leave a sentence "rotten wood can't be carved", and left angrily.

Watching his master leave, Lu Fanan regained his energy in an instant.After dismissing the maid beside her, she quietly avoided the boy guarding the door, and swiftly climbed up the wall of the backyard.

Just when he sat down firmly and was about to jump down, a gentle voice came into Lu Fanan's ears with some worry: "Young master, why do you want to jump over the wall? The wall is dangerously tight."

Lu Fanan took a closer look, only to realize that there was a boy standing in the corner of the wall.Hearing what he said, Lu Fanan quickly looked around, made a booing gesture to the other party, and jumped off the wall neatly.As soon as he landed, he pulled the boy and walked out.

After walking for a long time, Lu Fanan looked back, and after making sure that he would not be discovered, he stopped and said, "Master, I have been used to turning over the wall since I was a child, and there will be no danger."

The boy who was dragged away for a long time without any reason didn't complain, but just smiled shyly: "That's why I'm worrying too much."

Lu Fan'an led him all the way, and only then did he have time to see the boy's face clearly.He is slender, dressed in gray cloth, with two baskets on his shoulders.Although he was dressed as a servant, his whole body exuded a bookish elegance.

Lu Fanan was a little puzzled and said, "Did you deliver food outside the garden at that time?"

The young man blushed a little, but he didn't deny it, and said, "It's my servant, young master?"

"My name is Lu Fanan. When you praised the master, I was dozing off, so I overheard you." Lu Fanan said generously.

"So it's Mr. Lu, here's Qin Ming." Qin Ming said with a smile, with some surprise on his face, but he didn't have the fear and flattery that Lu Fanan was used to.

"From what you say, you should be a scholar, why would you deliver food?" Perhaps because he didn't have many friends on weekdays, Lu Fanan had a good impression of the young man in front of him.asked with great interest.

"I did study for a few years, and I was lucky enough to be selected as a scholar, but because of my family background, I had to temporarily abandon the sage books. Now I send food for the sake of food and clothing." Qin Ming smiled shyly, but There was no embarrassment on the face.

Although the two have very different family backgrounds and temperaments, Lu Fanan has always been easygoing.Although Qin Ming is poor and shy, he is also a gentle and noble master.In addition, the two of them were in high-spirited youth, and after a few conversations, they became bosom friends.

It was only then that Lu Fanan realized that not everyone is born with everything going well.

Qin Ming lost his father since he was a child, and his mother worked hard to bring him and his younger sister up.Like everyone else, Qin's mother also had a heart of hope for her son to become a dragon, so she saved money to enroll Qin Ming in a private school.But when Qin Ming was admitted as a scholar, Qin's mother was bedridden due to long-term fatigue and lack of diet.

His mother was seriously ill, and he had a younger sister who hadn't left the cabinet yet. Qin Ming could only accept the scientific examination for the time being.On weekdays, I make a living by buying some calligraphy and paintings, and I also occasionally do some food delivery for a living.

After getting acquainted with him, it was not easy for Lu Fanan to see him, and he offered to help him many times, but Qin Ming politely refused each time.Lu Fanan also knew that Qin Ming had his own pride and self-esteem, and if he received his help, Qin Ming might feel inferior.If this balance is broken, he and Qin Ming probably won't be able to communicate so openly anymore.

After Lu Fanan thought about this level of interests, he never mentioned the matter of helping Qin Ming again.On the contrary, Qin Ming went to Xicheng with Qin Ming all day long, wandered around in the market, and made many friends who were very "unpopular" in the eyes of officials and dignitaries.

But to Lu Fan'an, Qin Ming is infinitely more noble than those high-ranking officials who can only pretend to be false. It is also because of knowing Qin Ming that he has seen many other gestures of life.

Later, Qin Ming's younger sister, Qin Wan, said that they had a marriage, but found Qin Ming on the eve of their marriage, crying and not marrying.But no matter how Qin Ming asked, he was unwilling to say the reason.After arguing for quite a while, it was not until Qin Ming said harshly that if she didn't tell the reason, she would be bound to the man's house, Qin Wan finally revealed the reason, she was pregnant.

It turned out that Qin Wan ran into Wang Baoyin when she went back to buy embroidery. Afterwards, Wang Baoyin entangled him many times, and Qin Wan vowed to die.Seeing that Qin Wan was so chaste, Wang Bao became even more filthy, and ordered someone to tie Qin Wan to his own courtyard, where he did something wrong.And threatened her that if she told about this matter, her whole family would be buried with her.

At that time Qin Wan wanted to die, but thinking of her seriously ill mother and elder brother, she endured the humiliation and survived.Unexpectedly, the elder brother actually found a marriage for him, and he was pregnant.In desperation, he told the truth.

Qin Ming resented his negligence for letting his sister suffer such a great humiliation, but what could he do against Wang Baoyin.In order to relieve his sister, he pretended nothing had happened, and made up his mind to wait for Qin Wan to give birth to children, and he would raise them for the rest of his life.

But God failed, after Qin Wan gave birth to the child, Wang Baoyin came to snatch the child away because of the news from where.Unbearable to bear the pain of parting, Qin Wan committed suicide by jumping into a well.Qin's mother couldn't bear the blow, and died of a serious illness.

Because of the death of his mother and sister, Qin Ming was in despair for a moment, and thought of dying with Wang Baoyin.But how could he, a frail scholar, be Wang Baoyin's opponent, and in the end he was charged with murder for money instead.

Qin Ming never told Lu Fanan about these things, and Lu Fanan didn't know about these things until he entered the prison.Qin Ming was originally sentenced to death at the time, but because Lu Fanan knelt in front of the study for a day and begged Lu Kun, he lived a few more years.

"I came to beg you this time out of helplessness. Besides, this is also the last chance." Lu Fanan stared at Rong Shiyin and said sincerely.

Rong Shiyin's brows were uncertain, and he couldn't tell what mood he was in. After a long time, he said gloomyly: "But how can you be sure that I will definitely help you?"

"I..." Lu Fanan was stopped.That's right, as Rong Shiyin said, he has nothing to gain from him, so why should he take such a big risk for him who doesn't deal with him.

"Mr. Lu, I told you before that I will not mess around with you. Even if your friend really has a grievance, this is not a problem I can solve. Wang Shenshi is a third-rank official in the court. His father Another high-ranking right minister." He stared at Lu Fanan expressionlessly, "Why does Mr. Lu think that I, a small sixth-rank Hanlin scholar, can do things under their noses? Where did I get the confidence? Will I go against the Wang family for you?"

"I thought we were friends." With Rong Shiyin's words, even Lu Fanan couldn't hold back.

"Master Lu has a high opinion of Rong." Rong Shi concealed the turbulent emotions in his eyes, as if he saw the faces of the two most important women in his life, one was bloody and the other was desolate and desperate.

"Rong Shiyin, you really went too far." Lu Fanan's tone was also tinged with annoyance, and he turned and left after speaking.

"Friend? Am I worthy?" Looking at Lu Fanan's leaving back, Rong Shiyin murmured.

……

It was night, fear wrapped around him like an invisible net, and the darkness was so lonely and cold that it couldn't be melted away.Rong Shiyin huddled in the corner of the ruined temple, with the whistling wind in his ears, coming in through the dilapidated doors and windows, like the whimpering of a ghost.

He hugged his young and thin body even harder, suddenly the door in front of him was kicked open in the darkness, and there was a dim light in the room.

A corpse was thrown at his feet. The white clothes worn by the corpse were already torn and dirty, and the blood stains seemed to be splashed on it, forming a continuous piece.There was no trace of intact flesh on the face, and the facial features could not even be distinguished from the bloody flesh.

The little Rongshi forgot to be afraid, he rushed over and held the corpse in his arms, crying hysterically: "Mother, mother..."

Suddenly the corpse in his arms changed, it was a cold young woman, her face was pale, but there was a relieved smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was still saying: "Brother Rong, I'm leaving. You must live well, Live happily. Only when Big Brother Rong is happy can Weier feel that there is still hope in this world."

The figure of the woman in her arms was getting weaker and weaker, Rong Shiyin said in a panic with tears: "Wei'er, don't go, don't go..."

"Wei'er, don't." Rong Shiyin sat up suddenly from the bed, breaking out in a cold sweat.

A handkerchief was handed to him, Rong Shiyin took it, subconsciously said: "Thank you."

But then he realized that this was his bedroom, and he grabbed the man's wrist: "Who?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it's me." The man struggled for a long time in the darkness without breaking free. Rong Shiyin saw the man's face clearly through the twilight of the moon, but he couldn't distinguish dream from reality for a while, and still held his hand. The wrist did not let go.

Hearing Lu Fanan's cry of pain, Rong Shiyin realized that both of his hands were holding Lu Fanan's tightly.

One pinched the opponent's wrist in a defensive posture, but the other seemed to be desperately grabbing something, for fear that the opponent would slip out of his hand if he was not careful.
